Thomas: How do we determine what an official act is?

Ut oh.
Roberts goes right to bribes -- but an example which is very common, someone gives $$$$ to be made Ambassador.

Roberts, of course, has gutted bribery statute.
Jack Smith had raised pardons and bribes, which is ... rather close to Trump's known acts.

According to Politico, bad blood between NYT and Biden go back to Ken Vogel sniffing dick pics on behalf of whoever it is he is a mouthpiece for.

I'd say Biden has a point -- though unclear why NYT is treated any worse than WaPo, whose journos have seeded two devastating (still uncorrected) false claims abt Hunter Biden.

Reminder that @peterbakernyt was part of a NYT team that thought helping Trump obstruct the Mueller investigation was more newsworthy than reporting that Trump spoke to Vladimir Putin alone before writing a false statement about the June 9, 2016 meeting that parroted Putin propaganda.Image
@peterbakernyt Anon NYT journo says that AG will demand the NYT relentlessly focus on Biden's age unless and until the nepotistic brat and presumed transphobe activist gets an interview with Biden personally. Image

FWIW, my **hypothesis** is that Person 16 -- the stolen docs witness who said a lot of candid things -- is Eric Herschmann, bc Herschmann says a lot of candid things, like that other lawyers are morons.

Building off that Person 5 would be Ephsteyn, Person 18 Corcoran, Person 49 Susie Wiles. A redacted mention of Bannon in there -- it's not a witness tho.

All hypotheses, mind you.
Note that Person 16 believes all a woman has to do to get Trump's attention is to look like Person 30.

Preferably a younger version of Person 30.

Pretty sure Person 27--and therefore this 302--is Mark Meadows.

documentcloud.org/documents/2458…
In the govt's response, they describe that Person 27 trying to stave off a conclusion that Trump destroyed all the boxes was FPOTUS' CoS.

documentcloud.org/documents/2458…
Here's that bit in the govt response. Meadows tried to work directly with the WHORM guy, which is why Biden's WHCO intervened--to protect that person.

Elena Kagan is having none of Jeffrey Green's argument about Fischer on fluidity.

Soto: We've never had a situation like this where people try to violently stop a proceeding.

Green raises the empty courthouses in Portland.
KBJ says, what if people stole envelopes and took them away. What if people prevented the certs from being delivered to the VP.
Thomas asks about other violent protests, but does not mention Portland, bc it was not about impeding an official proceeding.

I will NOT be in court this PM in LA (considered it, but the recovering foot is at least 2 weeks short of a 12 hour flight). I REALLY don't think Judge Scarsi will be that sympathetic to Hunter Biden's claims--it's not his rep as a judge. BUT
Weiss' AUSAs are vulnerable on a couple of fronts.

First, they falsely claimed that what distinguishes Hunter from Roger Stone is that Stone, who wrote a memoir MORE closely tied to his tax evasion, didn't write a memoir.

🤣

That was dumb.

Next, Scarsi invited Weiss to brief 2 interesting legal issues: whether a contract bt Hunter & USAO Delaware is valid between Hunter & SCO, & whether Leo Wise can be held to things Wise said at failed plea. Weiss responded, but didn't answer those Qs.
