Alito: "ProPublica has leveled two charges against me: first, that I should have recused in matters in which an entity connected with Paul Singer was a party and, second, that I was obligated to list certain items as gifts on my 2008 Financial Disclose Report." 🎩 @RNDog12
🔥 Wow, this is something!
Justice Samuel Alito: ProPublica Misleads Its Readers @TeresaCCarter2@marie_cast
#Hospitality "...justices commonly interpreted this discussion of “hospitality” to mean that accommodations and transportation for social events were not reportable gifts. The flight to Alaska was the only occasion when I have accepted transportation for a purely social event..."
Alito/Singer: "For these reasons, I did not include on my Financial Disclosure Report for 2008 either the accommodations provided by the owner of the King Salmon Lodge, who, to my know.. has never been involved in any matter before the Court, or the seat on the flight to Alaska."
2008, Alito: The Supreme Court justice was on vacation at a luxury fishing lodge that charged more than $1,000 a day.
Singer flew Alito to Alaska on a private jet. If the justice chartered the plane himself, the cost could have exceeded $100,000 one way. propublica.org/article/samuel…
"In 2014, the court agreed to resolve a key issue in a decade-long battle between Singer’s hedge fund and the nation of Argentina. Alito did not recuse himself from the case and voted with the 7-1 majority in Singer’s favor. The hedge fund was ultimately paid $2.4 billion."
"ProPublica sent Alito a list of detailed questions last week, and on Tuesday, the Supreme Court’s head spokeswoman told ProPublica that Alito would not be commenting. Several hours later, The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed by Alito responding..."
Trump: Meadows Is a ‘Rat’
🐀 "By the summer of 2022, it became clear to Meadows and his associates that some of Trump’s own lawyers and top advisers were trying to set up Meadows as a fall guy, as the Jan. 6-related investigations intensified." rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
“How many times can Mark fucking put the [former] president in a bind because of that book…[that basically] no one read?” a senior Trump aide said last week, the day of the ex-president’s second arrest of the year."
"But The Chief’s Chief enraged Trump even before it was released and landed Meadows in immediate, temporary exile from his former boss. An early excerpt run by The Guardian showed that Trump had tested positive for..." prior to it being reported.
His name was Ian George Peacock.
"For at least two years in the late 1970s, the ASIO mole was the feared Russian spy agency’s only back door to American and British intelligence secrets."
In reality, he was the Canberra station chief for the KGB.
On paper, Lazovik was the embassy’s second secretary for press info. Gregarious and confident, he dressed smartly in Western fashion and cultivated contacts among Canberra’s public servants, journalists and diplomats.
"But the discovery of top-secret documents in Trump’s possession triggered an urgent national security investigation that laid out a well-defined legal path for prosecutors, compared with the unprecedented task of building a case against Trump for trying to steal the election."
Before returning to Miami, Sherwin agreed to tape an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes.”
Amit Mehta, the federal judge overseeing the prosecution of several members of the Oath Keepers involved in the Jan. 6 attack, watched Sherwin’s March 21, 2021, interview.
"A permanent replacement was slow in coming, leaving some prosecutors describing the investigation as “rudderless” throughout the summer of 2021. Near the end of July, Biden nominated Graves, a lawyer in private practice who had once led the office’s fraud section."
"The secret document, listed as No. 19 in the indictment charging Trump with endangering national security, can under the Atomic Energy Act only be declassified through a process that by the statute involves the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense."
"For that reason, the experts said, the nuclear document is unique among the 31 in the indictment because the declassification of the others is governed by executive order."
"Prosecutors likely will argue that declassification is irrelevant because Trump was charged under the Espionage Act, which predates classification and criminalizes the unauthorized retention of "national defense information,"
This activist’s lawsuit is backed by Texas’s AG Ken #Paxton. 🤪
"This time, an anonymous anti-abortion activist has brought a case that effectively seeks to fine Planned Parenthood, and give an enormous chunk of that money to... an anti-abortion group."

"The lawsuit was brought in 2021 by an anonymous plaintiff, identifying himself as the person who in 2015 released undercover video footage purporting to show Planned Parenthood staff discussing the sale of fetal tissue." reuters.com/legal/texas-se…
"Planned Parenthood sued over those decisions and won court orders blocking the states' terminations. Those orders were later lifted on appeal, allowing Texas to end its contract with Planned Parenthood in 2021 and Louisiana in 2022."
