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.
The press (legacy and new) and the investing public seem to have no idea what the Obama Administration launched in the Consolidated Audit Trail and what current SEC is currently doing--computer searches of OUR private data without any basis! @NCLAlegal 1/
2/ I'm frankly shocked that more civil libertarians aren't screaming about this! And now SEC is trying to delay Plaintiffs' day in court! Details here: nclalegal.org/feds-are-steal…
I'm working on a piece tomorrow to counter all the spin on the courts refusing to issue arrest warrant against Don Lemon in first instance as somehow vindicating him. BUT I think it merits stressing WHY DOJ sought arrest warrant that way first. 1/
2/2 DOJ feared there would be widespread copycat assaults in places of worship the following weekend unless it moved quickly to show public such behavior was illegal and would be prosecuted.
THREAD: Yesterday @EdWhelanEPPC defended Judge Schlitz for not recusing in ICE cases even though he is publicly listed as a donor to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. @HarmeetKDhillon called him out. 1/
2/ Ed quoted from a section of the Compendium § 4.2-3(g)), a federal appellate judge shared with him that stated: “A judge may contribute financially to legal service associations that provide counsel for the poor. A judge need not recuse merely because lawyers who accept appointments by such associations are also counsel of record in cases before that judge.”
3/ @HarmeetKDhillon correctly pointed out that language is out-of-context & cherry picked & ignores other canons. Before explaining, let me provide some background so you can judge the analysis. For at least 6 (possibly 8) years, my federal appellate judge tasked me as sole
2/ Jordan lays out at high level all efforts to "get Trump" that has been going on for 10 years. Beginning with Clinton and Steele dossier, and Comey, and impeachment one, impeachment two, Bragg, and Fani Willis.
3/ Jordan notes how Smith brought on same people who ran raid at Mar-a-Lago and Jan. 7. And how Smith ignore procedures, gagged Trump, filed a 165 motion 33 days before the election.
