Hearing about to get underway in Judge Tanya Chutkan's courtroom related to blue state lawsuit against Elon Musk/DOGE seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) prohibiting Musk from:

(1) Accessing or continuing to access any data systems and the information and code contained within those systems, including but not limited to systems containing sensitive or confidential agency and personnel data at the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Energy, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Commerce, or any components of any of those agencies, or copying, transferring, or in any way disseminating any data from any of the agencies identified in this paragraph.

(2) Terminating, furloughing, or otherwise placing on involuntary leave—whether paid or unpaid—any officers or employees of the federal government working within any of the Departments and agencies identified above.

Apparently lots of tech difficulties but Chutkan notes the urgent nature of the matter (LOL) so she set this remote hearing on a federal holiday.

"TROs are extraordinary remedies," Chutkan notes. She says harm must be imminent to justify a TRO pending a preliminary injunction. She asks states' lawyer why they said they needed to collect more discovery and doesn't it undercut their argument for a TRO?

Lawyer points to news reports justifying the "imminent harm" claims--Chutkan pushes back, says lots of reporting and she can't rely on news reports as evidence.

"Our concerns is how the defendants are using the data," state lawyer says.

Chutkan wants more clarity on harms to the states by Musk's work--lawyers says Musk is using data to determine cuts such as Dept. of Education which would harm the states. Lawyer says they rely on Dept of Ed money for education programs.

Chutkan asks if program has been cut? Lawyer says they are waiting for confirmation. "What is the irreparable harm here," Chutkan asks again. Notes that if a program is cut and she issues a prelim injunction, program funding can be restored at that point.

Chutkan says harm has to be "so serious" to justify a TRO--says their claims are "serious" but doesn't demonstrate imminent harm.

Chutkan says DOGE is not proceeding in an "orderly and deliberate fashion" but a "general fear" this is going to happen is not enough for a TRO. "I am not seeing it so far."

She notes that several of her colleagues have issued TROs--"this case is not the same as those," Chutkan tells states lawyer.

"If I deny TRO and put this on prelim injunction schedule, why can't you come back in a few days when these things actually start happening. This is a prophylactic TRO and that's not allowed," Chutkan says.

Lawyer points to tweets and memos as proof of imminent harm and that cuts to federal programs that will impact states are coming soon.

Hearing now before Judge Jia Cobb on 2 lawsuits filed by anonymous FBI employees and agents.

Plaintiffs are seeking a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump DOJ from collecting and sharing names of those involved in Jan 6 investigation/prosecution.

Mark Zaid, Brad Moss, and Norm Eisen among the lawyers in court representing FBI.

Judge Cobb explaining why she wants to consolidate the 2 lawsuits--one filed by FBI agents association and one filed by 9 anonymous FBI employees.

Initial argument is related to a temp restraining order then a briefing on a preliminary injunction related to releasing the names of survey respondents. DOJ appears to say they don't plan to make names public.

Important to note that Chief Judge Boasberg has allowed the filing of the anonymous lawsuits even after admitting that is not the normal process.

FBI attorney now suggesting "quasi-governmental" officer" (Musk?) could access "confidential information" about the FBI employees

NEW: More evidence of doctored FBI pipe bomb video?

Here is the side by side of two different cameras from DNC security system.

One clip is at a glacial pace while the other camera appears to work at semi-normal frame rate.

THREAD:

But in a similar side by side posted by the FBI last night in its clean-up press release, the faster camera is intentionally SLOWED DOWN to make it appear both cameras are in sync. (Note the cheesy music and voice over.)

Even more suspicious--in 2021, the FBI posted this clip, which is from the very same camera as the new clip the FBI posted last night attempting to show the "pipe bomber" set down the device.

This is at 7:43pm. The time stamp of new clip is 7:52.

But why did the FBI wait YEARS to post a clip from roughly 10 minutes later on the SAME CAMERA?

Especially a clip that is supposed to debunk suspicions that the device was not planted at the DNC on Jan 5?

The year after her husband was appointed DC US attorney, Fatima Goss Graves enjoyed a big jump in donations to her radical leftwing nonprofit:

That’s the most recent 990 available. But major corporations and law firms bucked up for the group’s big 2024 gala. Here are just a few:

Here is Fatima Graves’ statement on the election.

Keep in mind—her husband at the time was prosecuting and imprisoning Trump supporters over Jan 6. After the election, he continued his steady pace of charging new individuals, which lasted until the week before Christmas:

NEW: Ring camera footage shows FBI SWAT raid at California home of a suspected J6 protester in October 2024.

The targeted individual was not home but at least 10-15 heavily armed FBI agents stormed the house using flashbangs, aiming guns at his wife, and holding her in handcuffs while interrogating her and traumatizing the neighborhood:

The harassment continued. (Note the time of the raid — 6am)

The subject, Jeff Snyder, according to his wife had left behind his phone and other items. He is still at large.

After an hour of pathetic cajoling over a loudspeaker, the tyrannical FBI agent threatened to involve their daughter — a Marine stationed in Japan.

Tell me again how @Kash_Patel is the threat to our country.

And this has happened over and over for 4 years
