🧵1. Highlights from the 77-page report released today by the House Judiciary, Ways & Means, and Oversight Committee
Image
2. Early examples of preferential treatment. Just to open a case and start investigating, there was a higher bar than for the average person.

By the time investigators were ready to start interviewing witnesses, President-elect Joe Biden's transition team got tipped off.
Image
Image
3. Delaware AUSA Lesley Wolf halts any logical investigative follow-ups that might lead to President Joe Biden.
Image
Image
4. Wolf also refuses to examine evidence developed by another U.S. Attorney's office or share it with the investigators.

Some unnamed FBI HQ fixer is helping her slow-walk the case and stifle normal communication and cooperation.
Image
Image
5. The unusual roadblocks have to be elevated to the Deputy Attorney General's office during the Trump admin.

The Delaware U.S. Attorneys Office conduct was *very* unusual.

Image
Image
Image
6. Wolf blocks a valid search warrant for the Biden Delaware residence, a separate warrant for a storage unit, due to "optics."

But, optics is not hurdle to executing search warrants on average Americans.
Image
Image
7. Routine interviews were delayed or blocked by the unusual requirement for senior level approval from the DOJ Tax Division.

Image
Image
Image
8. The statute of limitations on charges related to mischaracterizing Burisma income as "loans" was allowed to lapse.

Tax Division attorney admits to IRS WB Shapley that it's "not a typical case" b/c it involves its the President's son.

Weiss won't answer the obvious key Q.

Image
Image
Image
9. DE AUSA Weiss didn't actually have the authority that AG Garland swore he had, until it was too late for the Burisma charges.

Special "Attorney" v. "Counsel" is a complicated, irrelevant semantic rabbit hole—even more than we knew.
Image
Image
10. Wasting time with Biden-appointed U.S. Attys.

11. Threatening the whistleblowers and the prosecutors.

Here's the full response to Abbe Lowell's request to throw out the $20 million defamation lawsuit against him by the IRS agents who blew the whistle on Biden's DOJ tanking the Hunter Biden case....

Here's what it's all about. If whistleblowers can be defamed w/o consequence, there will be no whistleblowers. Image
Image
That's the reason this case is necessary. Here's why it's possible: Lowell admitted in a letter to Congress that he was republishing his allegations to the public—which makes them actionable in court when they are knowingly false and defamatory: Image

“Mr. McCabe lied about his own leaking and should have been prosecuted for it, according to the Obama-appointed Justice IG [Horowitz], but wasn’t. …Now that this fishing expedition into the communications of congressional attorneys has been confirmed by the same IG, the new administration needs to finally hold people accountable.”
“And [Foster] said agents and prosecutors withheld from the DC magistrate judge who approved the subpoenas and non-disclosure orders the fact that the targets were congressional attorneys.”
“They misled the court,” he said. “They left out the key fact we were all congressional attorneys. They claimed over and over, with no basis, that we were flight risks or would ‘destroy evidence.’”

You learned that Hillary Clinton & the DNC funded the phony Steele Dossier b/c @ChuckGrassley, me, @DevinNunes, and Kash Patel did our jobs.

Fired-@FBI Dir. Comey later pretended not to know while somehow keeping a straight face. Here's the story... [long tweet]

Many in the press suspected it all along, and some provided me with tidbits suggesting it, but no one could report it—not until a House subpoena forced the information onto the public record.

At the Senate Judiciary Cmte, we received a tip that #FusionGPS was an alias for "Bean, LLC" which actually held bank accounts under that legal entity name. We also received the account number and the bank name for at least one of the accounts.

Senate Judiciary cmte rules were designed to enhance bipartisan cooperation and Minority party rights. But, there was no hope of bipartisanship on this.

After all, the true source of the money was a secret that only one political party in DC desperately wanted to keep.

The rules required either agreement from Ranking Member Feinstein or a full committee vote, which would mean public notice and weeks of debate before issuing a subpoena. We could not share our basis for the subpoena with the other side without betraying the confidential whistleblower and press sources who had tipped us off.

However, the House had granted its Chairmen, including Intel Cmte Chairman Nunes, unilateral subpoena authority.

So, Chairman Nunes issued the subpoena, and after some court battles, Kash Patel got to go through #FusionGPS's bank records.

In the process, the world learned the democrats involved had "lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year" as even a @nytimes reporter put it.

So, no doubt that many institutionalists at the @FBI hate the thought of Kash Patel as Director b/c far too many of them put loyalty to the Bureau ahead of loyalty to the Constitution—which requires being accountable to democratically elected oversight authorities in both the Legislative and Executive Branches.

The @FBI is not and should never be "independent" of answering to the people's duly elected leaders. Just as the military must submit to civilian control in our constitutional system, so must federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Anyone who suggests otherwise is an imminent threat to your liberty—and definitely not at all into "preserving our democracy."

Kash Patel was a key part of an epic pantsing of the @FBI.

He helped Congress expose the @FBI's shameful abuse of the FISA process to spy on an outsider political campaign for the party in power.

We did our jobs, methodically and professionally, through classified letters and aggressive, independent oversight. They called us crazy conspiracy theorists. They launched hit pieces trying to discredit Members and staffers like Kash Patel and me.

Eventually, enough was declassified that everyone could see what we had seen—what their government had been hiding from them.

An Obama-appointed Inspector General verified all of it and Mueller shuffled away, leaving the scene not with a bang, but a whimper.

Classic @ChuckGrassley throwback: "The Jig Is Up" On "Snake Oil" Russia Collusion Narrative

This video viral after it was re-tweeted by Rep. Devin Nunes, who called it "Perhaps the best @ChuckGrassley clip of all time..."

Here is Chief Judge Boasberg's opinion:

We think he was wrong to treat it as a grand jury secrecy issue. These are court filings required by statute and should be public under the First Amendment—especially in a closed case.

Highlights... ⬇️🧵 dcd.uscourts.gov/sites/dcd/file…

"...the Court need not concern itself with
common law or constitutional rights of access."

Well, that's a disturbing sentence from a judge in the United States of America.

Gag orders are required by statute to only be granted when justified by specific facts.Image
The public has a First Amendment right—and Congress has a constitutional need—to know what it's government is claiming in federal court to justify gag orders to hide its seizing comms records of Cong oversight cmte attys.

W/o those facts, no one knows if DOJ followed the law. Image

New Lawsuit: Last fall, @Google told me @TheJusticeDept forced it to secretly turn over my comms records in 2017. Since then, @empowr_us filed 5 demands for related docs under FOIA. DOJ ignored all 5. So today, we sued.

In 2017, I led the Sen. Judiciary Cmte oversight and investigations unit through the height of the #Russiagate hysteria for then-Chairman @ChuckGrassley.
After @Google notified me in October 2023, I confirmed that DOJ/@FBI had also targeted a dozen or so other Capitol Hill attorneys’ personal accounts—from both political parties.

New filing:

Explains why the IRS's #wierd position is wrong—opposing #whistleblowers help to defend their actions at issue in Hunter Biden's frivolous lawsuit against the IRS.

Highlights... ⬇️ empr.me/2024-08-07-rep…

Image
Normally a defendant in a baseless civil suit wants it dismissed as soon as possible. Not the IRS. Not in this case, according to @TheJusticeDept.

Very odd. 🤔 Image
It makes perfect sense for Biden to oppose. His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, has been hurling personal insults and false accusations at the #IRSWhistleblowers (and their attorneys) with reckless abandon.

But the IRS? Why block us & lay out the red carpet for plaintiffs suing the IRS?Image
