A doozy of a DOJ IG report into MA US Attorney Rachel Rollins, who resigned yesterday. (h/t @kyledcheney)
She got in hot water for attending a fundraiser for DOCTOR Jill Biden:
But there's more! She was in cahoots with the media and an unnamed Boston-area law professor to do the DOJs two-step of smearing a political rival.
Horowitz doesn't name the professor but it appears to be...
Daniel Medwed, a Northeastern Univ law professor and progressive. They were conspiring to dirty up a candidate running against Rollins' preferred candidate in the 2022 Democratic primary to replace her as Suffolk County DA.
Per @Weaponization report on FBI retaliation against FBI whistleblowers.
FBI had multiple informants involved in the events of Jan 6, before and on that day. And this is only what we know from court proceedings as FBI/DOJ has successfully concealed most info on CHSs:
How is alerting FBI investigators about presence of FBI assets a "conspiratorial view" when it's a fact? So many informants in Proud Boys that one defense atty joked about it.
"Prosecutors finally disclosed at least five FBI informants were embedded in the groups weeks and months before January 6. Matthew Graves...sought to prevent the jury from hearing about the informants’ 'activities or involvement in past investigations.'"
In @GOPoversight, Chairman Comer opens hearing by detailing DC crime crisis as well as concerns related to public education and teleworking by fed employees.
Jamie Raskin quickly pivots to gun crime, debt limit increase, book bans, Dobbs, white supremacy, Trump's CNN town hall.
Raskin's verbal vomit continues. Trump's comments on Pence, E. Jean Carroll, etc.
"Violent insurrectionists attacked this Capitol."
Bowser begins by arguing for DC statehood. "700,000 disenfranchised Americans" without a vote in Congress. Crime trends are "unacceptable."
Bowser details proposal incl more pretrial detention, increase penalties for violent crimes, limit early release.
Graves (very nervous) defends his office's work and downplaying DC crime crisis.
Merrick Garland has until today to respond to a letter from @GOPoversight demanding the public testimony of DC US Attorney Matthew Graves. Garland is refusing to make Graves available to the committee:
Who is Graves? Biden campaign advisor appointed to DC US Attorney in Nov 2021. His office handles every Jan 6 prosecution---a caseload that exceeds 1,000 defendants; Graves promised to more than double that figure over the next year. Meanwhile. DC in chaos amgreatness.com/2023/04/17/hou…
Graves making the rounds to community groups trying to explain why he routinely declines to prosecute violent criminals in DC. (He handles both local and federal prosecutions.)
Take a listen as he does his best Andrew Weissmann impersonation:
Biden 2014: “Biden said Romania can be a lynchpin that holds together the energy markets from the Black Sea to Central and Eastern Europe by upgrading its infrastructure, and the US can help with its unique expertise…” kiev.mae.ro/en/romania-new…
“Ponta indicated that Biden had a very clear position in support of visa requirements being lifted for Romanian nationals travelling to the US, saying that it is incumbent on the Romanian authorities to convince the Republican majority in the US Congress.”
“Since February, the US has provided nearly $49 million in humanitarian assistance to support Ukraine response in Romania. To strengthen Romania’s defense capabilities, we have provided more than $121 million in security assistance this year.”
Not a single tweet about bombshell Biden family bribery schemes laid out in lengthy presser by @GOPoversight from:
Washington Post (2 on Santos)
NYT (3 on Santos)
Politico (2 on Santos)
CNN (1 on Santos)
MSNBC (2 on Santos)
ABC News (3 on Santos)
CBS News (2 on Santos)
Still nothing at WashPo on GOP Oversight presser but their Santos story is pinned tweet 😂
