THREAD: I’d like to share some facts. That’s all. Just facts.

DoJ opened an IG investigation into Trump’s DoJ’s involvement in the coup on January 25, 2021. 19 days after the insurrection. 1/ Image
In 9/2021, shortly after DoJ got data from Rudy’s seized phones, subpoenas were issued for coup fundraising groups including Sidney Powell’s. At this time, Biden’s DC US Atty pick was being blocked by Ron Johnson - who participated in the fraudulent elector scheme himself. 2/

In 11/2021, Matthew Graves was finally sworn in a U.S. Attorney in DC. Senators Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Tommy Tuberville & Rick Scott told Garland in July they would continue to block his nomination until Garland treated the BLM protestors the same as 1/6 guys. 3/ Image
That same month, November 2021, Thomas Windom - who is now a key member of Jack Smith’s team - was detailed to the USAO DC to continue the already ongoing probe into the top of the coup. 4/ Image
Within months, more subpoenas were issued for info on 1) members of Congress 2) members of the executive branch 3) ellipse rally organizers, speakers, and VIPs (which would include Ginny Thomas) and anyone who tried to obstruct, influence, impede or delay the certification. 5/

A few months later, the 1/6 hearings would begin.

These are just facts. Whatever your opinion is, it continues to be incorrect to say DoJ waited 18 months or even 2 years to begin investigating the coup. That’s all I’m saying. Thanks 🙏 END/

THREAD: THE JURY: I’m really optimistic about the election interference case based on the notes from the jury today. First, the four pieces of testimony they asked for were specifically mentioned by the prosecution in closing arguments. 1/
Two of the four excerpts of testimony are from Pecker and Cohen about the meeting where they devised the conspiracy to alter the outcome of the election. Pecker corroborates Cohen on that agreement. 2/
Another bit of testimony is about Pecker telling Trump he should buy the story, and Trump “deputizing” Cohen. Trump told Pecker that whatever Cohen approves is good with Trump. Pecker testified Trump said “I’ll speak to Cohen and he’ll get back to you.” 3/

BREAKING: Cannon has DENIED Jack Smith’s motion to modify Trump’s bail conditions (for saying the FBI and Biden wanted to assassinate him. She denied WITHOUT prejudice because Smith failed to meet and confer with Trump on the motion. 1/ Image
Cannon says Smith’s failure to meet and confer “lacks professional courtesy” - even though Smith did confer and Trump’s lawyers asked for a couple more days. Will DoJ go to the 11th, or try again? I think they’ll try again first. END/
Learning that this is not an appealable order. Smith will have to re-file after a meet and confer.

THREAD: A couple of observations on the eve of closing arguments in the first ever criminal trial of a former president, and on the night trump’s lawyers tried to blame the DoJ for their own misrepresentations in a filing in the first ever espionage/obstruction case against a former president. 1/
First, on the summations: to his own detriment, Donald Trump will underestimate the intelligence of the jury. He’s going to assume they’re too stupid to know who weisselberg is, where he is, and why he’s there. 2/
His ego will be his downfall, and he’ll push his lawyers in a bad direction just as he did when he (probably) insisted on having Bob Costello testify, or when he insisted his defense is that he never slept with Stormy Daniels. His legal team will underestimate the jury at their own peril. 3/

THREAD: First, people were mad that Trump wasn’t being investigated. When we learned he was being investigated, people became angry that he wasn’t being indicted. 1/
When he got indicted, people were angry that he wasn’t on trial. Now that he’s in trial, people are angry that he’s not been convicted yet. 2/
If he’s convicted, people will be mad that his sentencing is taking too long. Once he’s sentenced, people will be mad that he’s not in jail yet. 3/

THREAD: Here's what the Mueller Report has to say about Cohen: "After the FBI searched Cohen’s home and office in April 2018, the President publicly asserted that Cohen would not “flip,” contacted him directly to tell him to “stay strong,” and privately passed messages of support to him." 1/
"Cohen also discussed pardons with the President’s personal counsel and believed that if he stayed on message he would be taken care of. But after Cohen began cooperating with the government in the summer of 2018, the President publicly criticized him, called him a “rat,” and suggested that his family members had committed crimes." 2/
This is from Volume II - the Obstruction of Justice Volume. The treatment of Cohen was part of a larger pattern of obstructive behavior by Donald Trump. Eventually, Bill Bar would write a memo declining to charge Trump for Obstruction even if he weren't the president. 3/

THREAD: all in all a great summary here, but I take issue with some of the language. First, none of these electors are being treated as “dangerous criminals”. None are in pretrial detention. Several have been given leeway on violating bail conditions. And none are charged with violent crimes. 1/Image
The reason some have been charged and others haven’t is because some broke the law and others didn’t. It’s not because prosecutors have special feelings about whether they’re “dupes” or “dangerous criminals”. I don’t see any “dupes” being charged in any state. In PA and NM, the electors said “we will not sign something that says we are the official electors. Put some contingency langue in here” and in AZ and MI they said “fuck yeah we’re the real electors even tho we know we aren’t. Keep this quiet.” The rest took plea deals. None of that is weird or inconsistent. 2/Image
Also, to say Chesebro is getting off with a slap on the wrist while others aren’t doesn’t make any sense. None have gone to trial, been convicted, or received a sentence. It’s weird to compare their punishments when they haven’t been doled out. Plus, chesebro is cooperating. Generally speaking, cooperators get less jail time than non-cooperators. Third, MI just issued new search warrants for Cheaebro because his cooperation might not have been truthful, so his investigation isn’t even over. 3/Image
