THREAD: Huge development. FBI TOLD Twitter the Hunter Biden laptop was real shortly after story broke. LATER FBI refused to answer when Facebook asked same question. Implications are HUGE. 1/
2/ First, it means FBI members of the Foreign Influence Task Force knew about the laptop and that it was real. I had NO idea that was the case, just the FBI as an entity. That makes FBI hinting of Russia disinformation hack and release worse.
3/ Second, it means Twitter knew the laptop was real but censored it anyway and even froze the New York Post account. So why did James Baker say to err on side of caution? Did someone from FBI get ahold of Baker?
4/ So who was the FBI agent who said it was real? Who all was present when that statement was made? Who at Twitter was present and with whom did they share that info? How was there NOTHING in Twitter files that referenced FBI saying it was real?
5/5 This new info is most significant revelation in entire censorship of Hunter Biden story scandal.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Federal judge enters preliminary injunction barring Trump Administration from canceling DEI grants, requiring DEI certifications, or enforcing a federal statute, False Claims Act. 1/
🚨🚨🚨Court grants motion to enforce TRO in favor of Plaintiff NGOs who are complaining grants were improperly withheld but reuses to hold Trump Administration in contempt. The order is incomprehensible. 1/
3/ Trump Administration "won": Unions cannot challenge firing decisions in this lawsuit because Congress established a separate agency and mechanism to resolve those disputes & unions must go there first. Notes 75K employees took the "RESIGN" option.
🚨BREAKING: Government files response in opposition to NGOs motion to enforce TRO & hold Trump Administration in contempt. THREAD below explains more about the case & last night's emergency motion for contempt. Read that first (along with sub-thread). 1/
3/ Plaintiffs entire basis of complaint & TRO is the Administrative Procedures Act, but APA requires final agency action & under current precedent, we just don't have one here. Most other courts have totally floated over that issue by quoting various language suggesting there is.
🚨AFL-CIO filed Motion for Expedited Discovery seeking details of inner-workings. However, whether AFL-CIO has a claim rests on legal question & not factual question so watch Trump oppose & file Motion to Dismiss for lack of jurisdiction (no standing). 1/
