This is why you should pray every day SCOTUS overturns DOJ's use of 1512(c)(2) against 300+ J6ers including Trump.

Obama appointee Chris Cooper--who married a top aide to Eric Holder, wedding presided over by Merrick Garland--dismisses defense attorney who cited numerous examples of disruptive even violent protests in Congress to show selective prosecution on obstruction count.

I watched him in action a few weeks ago. He is as arrogant and entitled as you'd expect reading this order. Claimed 60 lawsuits determined no election fraud. He also has claimed 4 police officers died on January 6.

Solicitor General yesterday filed opposition to cert petitions before SCOTUS to reverse "splintered" appellate court ruling to uphold 1512c2 in J6 cases. Cooper smugly doubt SCOTUS will review and further doubts SCOTUS will reverse what he LAUGHABLY calls "well settled law."
Image
In her dissent in 2nd appeal, Judge Karen Henderson blasted Cooper for not dismissing 1512 for Jeremy Groseclose, accused of no violent crime. Cooper stretched law to include political speech as proof he acted "corruptly."

Justice for J6ers begins with SCOTUS overturning 1512 and inflicting permanent intuitional damage to DOJ and federal court in Washington.

If SCOTUS does, Congress will be OBLIGATED to hold DOJ and judges (at least 12) accountable for destroying so many lives over this:

Oral arguments about to begin before 3-judge panel of D.C. circuit court on Pres Trump's appeal of Jeb Boasberg's temporary restraining order halting deportation of illegal Venezuelans subject to the president's Alien Enemies Proclamation.

DOJ in the motion to appeal: "If this TRO were allowed to stand, district courts would have license to enjoin virtually any urgent national-security action upon bare receipt of a complaint. District courts might next see fit to issue TROs restraining drone strikes, sensitive intelligence operations, or terrorist captures or extraditions. This Court should stay the district court’s unprecedented order."
DOJ calls Boasberg's orders "an unprecedented and enormous intrusion on the executive branch."

Boasberg's orders consisted of "second guessing" about the president's authority.

DOJ interrupted by Justice Millett (Obama) who pushes back against DOJ claims that this opens the door for a judge to frustrate other presidential powers including war powers.

Millett complains the Venezuelans were "rushed" on to planes and didn't have the chance to dispute their membership to TdA.
Millett asks DOJ atty is there are "any planes anywhere in the world" with individuals covered by Alien Enemies Act. DOJ says yes, that's his understanding.

Removal of Venezuelans under other laws are allowed--they both agree.

Millett: DOJ concern about ordering planes back and forth is "moot." Nothing we can do to remedy that now.

DOJ again argues Boasberg's oral "order" to return the planes did not control. Millett says that's a compliance issue at this point.

Hearing underway in Jeb Boasberg courtroom on Venezuelan terrorist lawsuit and deportation flights.

Coverage coming up:
Boasberg out of the gate accuses DOJ of using "intemperate" and "disrespectful" language in responses to the judge.

He is lecturing the DOJ about its opposition to his alleged "verbal" order to turn around the planes.

"Did you think that was hypothetical or did you understand when I said do that immediately, you meant that."
Boasberg: "Either DHS sent someone who knew nothing about the facts not the law--that's what you are saying, no one told you about those flights?" (2 planes took off during the first part of the hearing.)

"I often tell my clerks before they go out into the world the most valuable thing they possess is their reputation." He admonishes DOJ atty to remember that.

What a POS.

Hearing now underway in Judge Boasberg's courtroom on his nationwide temp restraining order related to the president's March 15 proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act. Boasberg acted within hours of a lawsuit filed by ACLU on behalf of 5 suspected Venezuelan terrorists Image
Boasberg: I have scheduled this hearing for fact finding on government's response to my order. Focus on timeline involved and get a sense of numbers of people here. I just want "facts" not planning to issue any ruling about the government's conduct.

Boasberg asks DOJ if it's still true that the 5 individual plaintiffs are in the US. DOJ says yes.

"How many planes departed the US on Saturday under the proclamation?" DOJ says flights complied with his order but won't disclose more to anyone.

Boasberg: "Anyone including me?"
DOJ: "Yes."
Boasberg: "Based on what?"

DOJ cites national security concerns, flight patterns.

Boasberg: "You're saying it's classified? I can receive classified information. Or there is some other basis?Why are you showing up today without answers?"

Nothing but a power play.
Boasberg: Here is a list of questions I want answered and you can tell me why you won't give me these answer.

How many planes left at any time Saturday based solely on the proclamation.

How many people were on each plane.

In what country did the planes land.

What time did they take off and land.

When were they in air space.

What time were individuals on the plane transferred to custody.

Now asks ACLU if they have any questions about flights.

HAPPENING NOW: Hearing underway in Judge Chutkan's courtroom related to temp restraining order sought by Climate United against EPA and Citibank forcing disbursement of $6.9 billion in "climate" funds sheltered at Citi in Nov 2024. Funds are frozen. Image
EPA adm Lee Zeldin cancelled financial agreements with Climate United and 7 other climate "nonprofits."

The "Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund" is under investigation by DOJ and EPA inspector general.

"As I see it, EPA has to take certain procedural steps before it can terminate the awards," Chutkan says.

Includes written notice of termination and reason for termination.

"It looks like EPA does this in the letter...but EPA must provide evidence of waste, fraud or abuse. EPA has not proffered that information."

Chutkan clarifies Climate United asking for TRO forcing Citi to disburse the funds. "What would maintaining the status quo look like," she asks Climate United lawyer.

Climate lawyer says status quo would require Citi to issue funds as the bank did before EPA/DOJ froze funds in mid-February.

Claims--as Chutkan suggested--the termination of the grants was unlawful and did not meet terms of agreement. Climate lawyer also claims many projects underway and the nonprofit faces "extreme irreparable harm" if they don't get their money.
"At the end of this week, we are out of money."

Keep in mind--this "nonprofit" was formed in June 2023. It took in about $640,000 in 2023 and spent about $550,000. So Climate United had less than $100,000 in the bank--until Biden/Harris selected it to receive $6.9 billion in April 2024.

Chutkan asks how much has been committed. Climate lawyer says he doesn't know but court filings claim about $390 million.

NEW: A lawsuit filed yesterday by newly-formed Climate United--headed by former Obama aide Beth Bafford and stacked with Dem activists--that received $7 billion from Biden EPA's climate slush fund confirms Citibank has frozen disbursements to the fund: Image
Every time I dig into this scandal, it gets worse.

As @epaleezeldin disclosed last month, Biden's EPA "parked" $20 billion at Citi in November 2024--a first of its kind arrangement clearly intended to keep funds away from GOP Congress and potential Trump White House.

Climate United is seeking a temporary restraining order against EPA and Citi to force the bank to dole out the funds (our tax money, obviously).

Case is before Judge Tanya Chutkan.Image
Climate United claims it has already committed $392 to "qualified" projects.

What are they, you might ask? More from lawsuit:

"The first is a $31.8 million pre-construction loan to support solar power projects across rural communities in Arkansas, which was announced in October 2024. Through this project, Climate United is financing pre-construction costs for 18 solar projects comprising the largest commercial and industrial solar deployment in Arkansas history, which is projected to save more than $120 million in energy costs over the project’s life and create hundreds of jobs.

The second is a program to offer affordable leasing options for battery electric heavy-duty trucks to small fleets and independent operators. Climate United issued a request for proposals in October 2024 from qualified U.S. auto manufacturers to deliver up to 500 electric drayage trucks, which Climate United intends to begin leasing at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. When completed, these orders will represent some of the largest-ever purchases of domestically manufactured battery electric trucks in U.S. history. Climate United intends to expand this program nationally. This program will not only reduce the cost per mile of operating drayage trucks for small businesses, but it will also reduce air pollution in port communities and create demand for U.S. manufacturing in factories across the country.

The third is $63 million in committed pre-construction financing for projects to design and develop solar power plants in partnership with Tribal governments and communities. These projects bring access to affordable energy to rural communities and Indigenous people in addition to quality jobs and local economic development. Initial projects will be located in Eastern Oregon and Idaho."

God only knows who is getting that money...
