🔥🔥🔥THREADETTE: Yesterday something struck me as "off," but I only now had a chance now to relisten to the testimony to confirm. Check the 5:43:38 point from @RobGouveiaEsq video below & note Fani Willis volunteering she did NOT go to college with Robin Yeartie. Why would Fani make that point in response to a question of whether she knew Yeartie? 1/
2/ ...because Yeartie testified she met Willis when she was in college. (1:00:00 mark). Note Yeartie didn't say she went to college with Willis, just that they met when she Yeartie was in college. Willis making a point that they didn't go to college together only
3/ makes sense if Willis heard Yeartie's testimony. And note at 5:37:34 point Willis never said she didn't listen to anyone's testimony, only that I told you I was in my office pacing."
4/4 Think about it logically: Someone asks you do you know a person? What do you say, "yes." You don't say "yes, but they didn't go to Notre Dame, they went to Saint Mary's."
Post Script: And how in the hell could Willis have heard some of the argument but not any of the testimony? Willis volunteered she heard the argument because she wanted to say that the lawyer lied.

🚨Hearing in Newsom v. Trump re National Guard starts in ~15 minutes. I'll be live-posting in this 🧵. 1/
2/ Hearing starting:
Judge Preliminary Comments: Entered scheduling order directing file of briefs & appreciative of that. It is necessary to have briefing & I have always have done it, even though styled as ex parte, sufficient cooperation to allow complete record as possible given, important--issues significance, and urgency so I need to act expeditiously but takes into consideration the arguments of the parties. That's the fair way to do it and way I've done it over the year and parties have been extremely helpful in this regard.
3/ Judge: Asks to start w/ federal government & wants feds to address several issues: It seems to me that it is necessary to understand whether the president complied with the statute 10406, which has a number of requirements. When Judge acted on desire to nationalized California National Guard he sited this statute.
🚨I began researching this deep-dive at @FDRLST soon after @SenGrassleyIA broke news of the "Prohibited Access" functionality of Sentinel. Inspector General conducted TEN audits of Sentinel & details buried in those report blow-open scandal. 1/
🚨🚨🚨Garcia's attorneys are not happy and they likely have a judge willing to play along. They now want discovery to learn what Trump Administration did to facilitate Garcia's return so allow court to hold Administration in contempt. 1/
2/ Garcia's attorney's seem to think they also have a "get out of jail free card" because SCOTUS ordered Trump to treat Garcia as if he hadn't been wrongfully removed & they only discovered evidence of his crime after that.
3/ And they think they can now challenge what happens to Garcia AFTER the criminal case. That is not ripe, however, because it depends on the outcome of that case.
