THREADETTE: LOL. Following are real facts, not the New York Times' all the news that's fit to propagandize. 1/
2/ Trump's legal team filed election challenge in Fulton County alleging some 20 violations of election law. Under GA law an election is tossed if illegal votes totally difference between candidates proven. Judge delayed case, so they asked Secretary of State to investigate.
3/ Legal team also recommended based on Hawaii precedent to appoint alternate electors in case court case succeeded, which GA Republicans did. Details here. thefederalist.com/2023/05/15/the…
4/ That's really it. But to steel yourself for all the B.S. dropping about attempts to steal GA election, here's your reading list:

2/ re legislature but would need to check GA law. BUT for both, defendants need intent, not mistaken. The other bucket was RICO (racketeering influence corruption organization-or something) conspiracy crime which can't hold water b/c it is premised on false assumption
3/ everyone knew Trump lost & tried to steal election, while evidence is that Defendants believed election was tainted & sought constitutional method of addressing that. Might have been imprudent, constitutionally unsound, but it wasn't crime.
THREAD: With an indictment against Trump likely imminent in Fulton County, re-upping some background reading for you to understand the farse we will soon see. Chronologically. 1/ thefederalist.com/2022/07/06/lik…
🚨🚨🚨THREAD: I will be live-tweeting today's Fifth Circuit hearing in Missouri v. Biden. With Edith Brown and Willett, panel is looking great. 1/
/2 And now I’m ready!
3/ Here's the backdrop re today's hearing: Missouri, Louisiana, and individual plaintiffs sued Biden Administration (many components of executive branch) for violations of 1st Amendment for causing social media companies to censor speech. Lower court called "district court" entered preliminary injunction (meaning telling feds they couldn't do several things pending a full trial) re social media companies. Order & minor tweak of what specifically Biden Administration couldn't do:
