John Lauro should have business cards printed.

Trump should have business cards printed: Deceit, Trickery, and Dishonesty Social. Image
DOJ argues that Trump's bully pulpit means his was not just one voice among millions, as he himself bragged about -- but in any case, it's a matter for trial. Image
On the same day Trump is testifying about whether his fraud at Trump Org mattered, DOJ included this line in his DC case. Image
I hope someone with interns is keeping a running tally of how many times Haldeman gets cited in this case. Image
The Conspiracy to Defraud section is, unsurprisingly, heavy on fake electors. Here, Jeffrey Clark gets glancing mention. Image
Shorter DOJ: Sure. If you want us to ALSO charge you with false statements, we can do that too. Image
DOJ making good use of the pain sweat and tears that got them to Fischer. Image
Been waiting since at least August 2021 to see how DOJ would argue this.
Image
Image
And now making good use of the pain sweat and tears to get to Robertson.

Florence Pan in the house... Image
I feel like this was the subject of weeks of discussion. And Trump just teed it up for them. Image
The definition of corruptly for 1512 is still very much a work in progress (but, I've argued, all foreseeable definitions apply to Trump). Which is why this passage is written this way. Image
Really legalistic way of saying it's illegal (under the Klan Act) to steal other people's right to vote. Image
Interesting cake-eating-too move here, to address that some of Trump's actions were committed as President. Image
Lots of Cheap Dates have been making a 1A argument since this indictment. This is how DOJ dealt with it, unsurprisingly.

documentcloud.org/documents/2412…
Image
Honestly, I may develop a hobby of laughing at the way DOJ and legal commentators make fun of John Lauro for his misuse of citations. Image
Holy shit! Dead-Prigozhin's trolls even made it in here. Image
Get used to seeing this passage. Lauro is making a bid, in this and 2 other motions, for Alito and Thomas to treat this as right wing speech. This is how DOJ will address it over and over. Image
This goes to the core of every legal case against Trump. Image
Mackey, which will be appealed but bc Mackey is not a former President, may not get there first, gets a shout out. Image
This is where DOJ compares Trump's historical analogies, starting with 1800, begins, for the historians in the crowd.

Take that, John Eastman. Image
This section, on the 1876 election, is sort of hilarious. Image
Some guy named Biden features prominently in DOJ's treatment of 2016. Image
This may impact efforts to DQ Trump under 14A. Image
More on DOJ and Incitement to Insurrection. We may have to wait 50 years to learn what prosecutors really thought abt applicability to Trump.

It addresses, but does not answer, a lot of discussion abt insurrection.

Nice to start cataloging the people, like @MaryMargOlohan, who are stupid enough to take @SecRubio's false claims about what the EU fine is for seriously.

Thanks for making that clear! Image
Big Dick Toilet Salesman says he is stupid or a liar. Image
Unsurprising that Medicare fraudster @SenRickScott thinks fines for fraudulent consumer claims are censorship. Image

To add the confusion of the many ways Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer bolloxed her attempt to indict Jim Comey, there are actually THREE different documents.

First, what she purports is an indictment (but which was not presented to GJ in this form). Sig page looks like this. Image
The sig page for the doc originally docketed as the no-bill indictment looks like this (identical to what I just posted). Basically, Lindsey put the sig page from the purported indictment on the no-billed one. Image
Sometime later that day, someone FIXED that (the no-billed indictment) with a correct last page. Image

Let me try to explain how John Durham made you MAGAts all look like dumbasses.

By context, this email of 2 Russian spies talking about starting a Deep State conspiracy is July 26. Image
But this Russian spy report--the one you're all drooling over? Durham has, AFAIK, ALWAYS hidden the date of that. Always. 🤔 @ChuckGrassley is probably colluding with him to do so now.

But BY CONTENT, it can only have been written July 26 or later. Image
@ChuckGrassley Now, Durham concluded that the Bernardo emails were "compilations," which is a dodge word for "fabrication." But even if you believe the Bernardo emails are REAL, the one via which the Russian spies would have "learned" that Hillary "approved" a smear campaign was date July 27. Image

Unsurprisingly, fabulist Alex Thompson makes some errors in his cherry pick of Biden recordings.

The thing to know is Hur treated the MEMO (as distinct from docs from garage) as a personal doc, akin to Reagan's (and Biden's diaries).

Biden couldn't have requisite intent. Image
There are other likely errors or unfaithful cherry picks. Those will have to wait for a version that is not obviously cherry picked.
Here's one of my more comprehensive posts on the report itself.

FWIW, it was "National Security Adviser" @MikeWaltz47 who added @JeffreyGoldberg to the Signal thread.

So if it was caused by a drunken bender, it wasn't Whiskey @PeteHegseth's bender.

So @CIADirector exposed the ID of an active intelligence officer. Image
@CIADirector Then @CIADirector shared sources and methods with a journalist. Image

In a declaration filed this week, Trump's top DOGE at Treasury cited a GAO report from last year. Lots of people On Here are taking that $2.7T out of context. (And ignoring that poor Tom miscited some quotes in this paragraph, but we expect shoddy work from DOGE.)

But let's look at the GAO Report he relies on, shall we?

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Here's the report.



FIRST humiliating thing DOGE Tom didn't tell anyone is that MANY of these improper payments--the reason there was a recent spike--pertain to Trump's own COVID programs.

DOGE Tom says we need to fix Treasury bc Trump encouraged fraud. gao.gov/assets/gao-24-…Image
Here's EVEN MORE humiliating thing DOGE Tom told us. To get fraud #s he lays out, he relies on this Congressional testimony.

Humiliation 1: It's abt fraud in Trump's own COVID programs again.

Humiliation 2: Mike Ware is one of IG's Trump fired on Day 4.
