BREAKING: THREAD: Trump holdovers at FBI & DoJ and Senator Ron Johnson delayed 1/6 investigation into Trump in 2021. 1/

According to sources, JP Cooney, who is now on Jack Smith’s team, wanted to investigate Trump’s orbit including Roger Stone as early as February 2021, but D’antuono at the FBI (a Jim Jordan ally & the guy who delayed the Mar a Lago search warrant) blocked it. 2/

D’antuono called Mike Sherwin to warn him about Cooney. Sherwin is the guy who let Barr shorten Roger Stone’s sentencing recommendation (coincidentally written by Cooney) & let Barr drop the Flynn case. Sherwin and D’Antuono agreed to shut down Cooney’s top-down approach. 3/

Cooney wanted a task force to get the phone records of folks like Stone & Ali Alexander. He wanted to follow the money & investigate the funding of the big lie. He also wanted to subpoena the Willard. Sherwin and D’Antuono shut it down. 4/

Sherwin’s replacement was appointed by Biden, but the 50/50 senate power sharing agreement allowed the GOP to delay that appointment until November. Don’t forget, Trump also delayed the Biden transition team. 5/

Keep in mind, there are some republicans in the senate who participated in the coup & are probably not too excited to get the Biden DoJ team in place. The DC US Atty was delayed by RON JOHNSON, who actively participated in the coup. 6/

Sherwin resigned before he was sanctioned for his appearance on 60 minutes during which he violated DoJ policy. Trump is now using that appearance as a defense in the DC Jack smith indictment. 7/

Garland got there in March. D’Antuono ensured he was not made aware of Cooney’s task force idea. Lisa Monaco replaced Axelrod in April. Monaco was put in charge of politically charged 1/6 investigations and began probing the funding of 1/6. 8/

Then in September- before Sherwin’s replacement got there, she subpoenaed Sidney Powell and others. It makes sense she would have needed a few months to investigate before the first round of subpoenas went out. 9/

Sherwin’s replacement arrived in November thanks to Ron Johnson, and immediately appointed Windom to oversee the trump coup probe. Windom wanted all kinds of search warrants, but guess who told him no.

D’Antuono. 10/

Windom, undeterred, went to the Postal Inspector to get his warrants & subpoenas based on all the work Garland had done prior to Windom’s arrival. After enough pressure, and who knows, maybe it came from Garland, the FBI stopped blocking DoJ prosecutors in April of 2022. 11/

Two months after the FBI relented to DoJ prosecutors, the 1/6 hearings would begin. Yet somehow, people think the 1/6 hearings shamed the DoJ into action. 12/

Also, none of this is breaking. The newest part of this thread is six months old. I’m just tired of people blaming Biden & Garland for the bad acts of Trump, Barr, & their allies at the FBI. 13/

Did you know Trump is now using as a DEFENSE that his pals in the FBI delayed opening the probe? He’s using his own allies’ delays as a defense AGAINST the DoJ.

Blame the right people for the delays. END/

PS: Headlines matter.

The FBI is part of the DoJ, so people went with “DOJ DELAYS OPENING PROBE” instead of my headline: TRUMP ALLIES IN DOJ AND FBI, SENATOR RON JOHNSON DELAY OPENING PROBE.

Both are true but one is more accurate.

WHY HASN'T DOJ INDICTED ANYONE ELSE FOR 1/6 INCLUDING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS? A THREAD: Keep in mind, because of DoJ's policy on not commenting on investigations, what I'm about to say is an opinion. It's speculation. I want to make that exceedingly clear. Here we go. 1/

This past summer, Jack Smith indicted Trump on four felony counts, and he intends to prove Trump is responsible for the attack on The Capitol, and that he conspired to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspired to deprive us of our right to vote and have our vote counted. 2/

His indictment is built for speed. He secured a March 4, 2024 trial date. There are six un-indicted co-conspirators, and on August 1, 2023, Smith said the coup investigation continues. So why is Trump the only one indicted? Because the indictment is built for speed. 3/

NOTABLE :: A THREAD: Ok, so this week, we learned that Rep Scott Perry texted a lot with Jeffrey Clark trying to overturn the 2020 election. And I noticed something. Perry texted Clark on Jan 1, 2021 to make sure he "gets exactly what he needs" from the DNI. 1/

Clark then got a classified briefing from the DNI, and then he drafted that letter he's in deep shit for telling GA the DoJ found election irregularities. Then, in trump's motion to compel discovery in the DC case, trump is demanding documents behind that briefing. 2/

It appears from the indictment that Jack Smith has evidence there was nothing in that briefing that could have caused Jeff Clark to change that letter he wanted to send to Georgia from "concerns" to "evidence" of election irregularities. 3/

BREAKING: Judge Chutkan DENIES what I call Trump’s “monarchy motion” to dismiss his DC indictment on claims of total presidential immunity & Double Jeopardy. She opens by footnoting that potential interlocutory appeals, ones that can delay the trial, must go first. 1/

The position does not “confer a lifelong get-out-of-jail-free pass. 2/

“But defendant is not president, and reading the clause to grant absolute criminal immunity to former presidents would contravene its plain meaning, original understanding and common sense.” 3/

THREAD :: DA Fani Willis says Harrison Floyd violated THREE conditions of his bond. She also enteres three cases from the 1990's as evidence to show the court has authority to revoke bond. She reminds the court the standard to revoke is by preponderance (more likely than not) 1/

The DA says the state plans to call three witnesses today including Gabriel Sterling to meet the preponderance of the evidence standard. The defense argues that Harrison Floyd never had the intent to intimidate witnesses. There's no need to remand. 2/

Defense: "If these tweets angered the state so much, they could have called us and asked us to take them down. Instead they filed a motion." He goes on to say what Harrison Floyd posted is "political speech." 3/

NEW: Judge McAfee enters a protective order over discovery in the Fulton County case. First, he says that without one, discovery could become burdensome, as evidenced by the DA saying she would only allow proffer videos to be viewed in-person at the DA office. 1/

Second, and more concerning, Jurors should not be exposed to materials that may be inadmissible at trial. Not everything produced in discovery is allowed into evidence at trial, and seeing those things would unduly prejudice potential jurors. 2/

The press argues against the order on first amendment grounds, but the first amendment must yield to the defendant's right to a fair trial. Plus, the order isn't indefinite. It will expire at the end of the case and the media can have them then. 3/

NEW: THREAD: Jack Smith claps back at trump’s latest attempt to delay the DC trial. Remember when trump filed multiple motions to dismiss his indictment on statutory and constitutional grounds, and his claim of total monarchic (presidential) immunity? 1/

Then DoJ filed an omnibus response to the stuff that’s subject to interlocutory appeal (constitutional questions that have to be decided before the trial) and asked the Judge to decide on those first so the trial schedule wouldn’t be upended? 2/

Then Donald had deadlines to file his responses to DoJ? And last night - at the last god damned minute (per ushe) - Donald asked for an extension to file his responses saying they’re super busy with other stuff like his gag order appeal? Well. Jack Smith just tore into trump. 3/
