Judge Chutkan gets the draw.

A hard grader. Image
Trump's alleged co-conspirators. Image
Five matters and means, each of them a conspiracy unto itself
Image
Image
Mark Meadows is not described as a co-conspirator. Image
The Raffensperger call is ¶31. Image
Honestly, there's plenty of space to fill in PA. Image
This comes out of J6C.

Both Chesebro and Klukowski show here. Image
Ronna McDaniels is now stuck between Trump and the people facing felonies in MI. Image
Jeffrey Clark is CC4. Hopefully he'll sleep with his pants on tonight. Image
I love that someone may go to jail for violating DOJ contacts policies. Image
Mark Milley's revenge. Image
Some of this hews to Pence's book. Image
Here's the Jan4 meeting with Eastman. Image
Not sure who this is; You're going to cause riots in the streets. Image
John Eastman: Please wear pants to bed tonight, too.

TY, Murica.
Details involving Mike Pence. Image
Gubillions of reporters were at Prettyman. Not so here.

Doesn't matter. Jack won't take questions. Image
I THINK this is Mike Roman, in which case the type of reference is notable. Image
Jack Smith.

"Unprecedented assault on seat of American democracy. As described in indictment, fueled by lies." Image
Smith: Men and women who defended, are heroes, they put their lives on the line to defend who we are as a country.
"Our investigation of other individuals continues. Indictment only allegation."
There are not details here which is interesting bc last we saw, Ivanka was one of the only people in the room who hadn't been interviewed. Image
This trial by combat stuff DIRECTLY links Rudy, and thru him, Trump, to the assault on Michael Fanone. Image
Lots going on here. Image
Again, I will come back to this but there's a whole shit ton of 2 years of work in this paragraph. Image
You FUCKING MORONS, don't leave Donny alone in his dining room!!!!

[I suspect they did not.] Image
Mark Meadows represent!!!

This paragraph took about 9 months of legal work. Image
Details (which continue on the next page) of Rudy's attempts to talk to Congress. Image
I may have missed this, but Pat Cip's request that Trump withdraw objections is new to me. Image

Gonna reup this bc there is a flood of ignorant bullshit about what the investigation took to get to this weeks' indictment. Here are the accounts that Rudy claimed (if you can believe him) he conducted his coup plotting on.

This alleged conspiracy was conducted BY LAWYERS using ENCRYPTED APPs.

If you read something about how long this investigation took that doesn't address those two facts, you can use it as kitty litter.
When a conspiracy is conducted BY LAWYERS on ENCRYPTED APPS, it means you have to go phone by phone (bc that's how you get the encrypted apps), and for each one conduct a privilege review.

.@ryanlcooper says that DOJ should have skipped the privilege reviews on the phones and email accounts of Trump's 5-6 lawyer co-conspirators, thereby guaranteeing DOJ lose the case.
@ryanlcooper I know you people don't REALIZE you're demanding really stupid things, including the violation of precisely the rules we're supposed to be upholding. But bc you're writing w/o learning fuckall about the case, that's what you're doing.
@ryanlcooper It took 9 months to do a privilege review of Rudy's phone. Lisa Monaco started that process LITERALLY on her first day on the job.

It took >12 months to get into Enrique Tarrio's phone, and he's not even a lawyer!!

DOJ has been trying w/Scott Perry's phone for a year ago.

This this is UTTERLY untethered to the charges in the indictment.

Like, it's literally Maggie and Mike PERFORMING precisely what they're discussing, bullshit attempting to create reality.
Conspiracy to defraud the US IS ABOUT LYING.

You're all out there saying, "well, Trump couldn't be guilty of [lying] bc he has a First Amendment right to lie."
NOOOOOOO.

You can't lie to the Federal govt!!

The POINT of that conspiracy is to tell the govt, "welp, we have 306 Electoral votes." HAHAHAHA. Good one, fell for another big old Donny Trump lie.

Here's the Tl;dr on whether CC6 is Mike Roman or Boris Epshteyn. Could be either. Both were involved in the specific things in the paragraphs.

We're all BETTER OFF if it's Boris (and if Roman is cooperating, as some had claimed). Bc that causes Trump 2 worlds of hurt.
1) As I've been saying since Jan, LOTS of people have exposure on one of Trump's crime, both not the other. There's good reason to believe it has made people more cooperative.

Boris could well have both.
2) Boris and Trump share a lawyer. Trump doesn't need anymore transition in his legal team.

BREAKING: NYT wilfully resuscitates the Coffee Boy PR campaign.

https://t.co/KXEn5fmaCrnytimes.com/2023/07/30/us/…

De Oliveira, in news I'm sure 3 NYT reporters are capable of matching, is the guy who gave the key to the storage facility away after June 8.

Not in here. Image
"Plucked"

This is a real Horatio Alger tale.

Were these guys part of the Model UN too? Image

OK, I'm going to repeat this again, bc I'm tedious.

1) In THE PAST, Trump Organization has allegedly withheld clearly responsive material under subpoena.

2) IN THE PAST, DOJ has been smart enough to ALSO obtain the same material from 3rd parties.
In fact, it's entirely possible that Microsoft is the vendor for Trump Org's security footage, just like they were and still may be the vendor for Trump Org's email servers.

In which case, the video could even be part of the Azure hack.

😂
Currently, AND POSSIBLY BC OF THAT MICHAEL COHEN WARRANT, DOJ would have to go to the enterprise client to get a vendor's version of video/email/whatever.
