1/ Vought said his group was secretly drafting "the groundwork for rapid action on Trump’s plans if he wins, describing his work as creating 'shadow' agencies. He claimed that Trump has 'blessed' his organization and 'he’s very supportive of what we do.'" cnn.com/2024/08/15/pol…
2/ As Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, I've been writing about the clear connection he has to it in my newsletter, Civil Discourse. Judge the truth of the matter for yourself, there is strong evidence it is Trump's plan. joycevance.substack.com/p/more-lies-ab…

1/ Sentencing Trump now isn't election interference. He's already been tried & convicted; the public has learned all of the facts. DANY should push ahead & insist on sentencing now, as for any other defendant. Enough special treatment for Trump.
2/ To the extent Trump argues evidence barred by the SCOTUS immunity decision was improperly used, it's time to employ our common sense. Trump talked w/Hope Hicks about paying off a debt he contracted before he was even elected—the Stormy Daniels hush $—in the Oval Office. So what? That doesn't make the conversation an official act. It was purely private conduct & the evidence was properly admitted at trial. Sentence Trump & he can appeal like any other defendant.
3/There's a technical legal argument here as well. Trump was required to make the immunity argument at trial to keep evidence out & by not doing that, he waived the argument. That's how trials work & he's not entitled to special treatment here, just because he was POTUS. Enough.

1/The excitement around the Harris-Walz ticket has given Dems renewed hope they'll win. With that hope has come concern that Trump will try to steal the election again. History is full of failed coups that were preludes to successful ones.
2/Past experience teaches anyone who isn’t deliberately trying to ignore it that Trump will not go quietly if he loses. He has too much at stake—like staying out of prison. But it's harder to maneuver than in 2020 b/c he doesn't have the power of the presidency at his disposal.
3/There are clear signs Trump is gearing up in Georgia, where the stories emerging about the State Elections Board are outrageous. They have been putting anti-democratic measures in place for the upcoming election. Georgia is a likely battleground state. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

1/Yesterday, the Special Counsel asked Judge Chutkan for 3 extra weeks to file the joint status report she'd asked for today, b/c they are still "assess[ing] the new precedent” on presidential immunity from SCOTUS. Trump’s lawyers didn’t oppose Jack Smith’s request.
2/What does that mean, and why is the government asking for more delay in the case? Those are legitimate questions, but I would not be quick to criticize the Justice Department here.
3/Under the special counsel regs, Smith has to consult with other components in DOJ before moving forward, just like a US Atty would have to. I didn’t like it when I had that job--I was always sure we'd reached the decision on our own & I disliked the delay, BUT

1/Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, who has already pled guilty and tearfully apologized for her role in pushing the Big Lie following the 2020 election in Georgia, has a plea deal in Arizona. It’s what prosecutors call a sweetheart deal.
2/In exchange for her full cooperation in both state and federal proceedings (this could just be boilerplate language though; we don’t know if anything specific is contemplated in the agreement), all of the charges against her will be dismissed.
3/If Ellis lies or withholds anything material, her deal is off, and the AG can reinstate the old charges and file new, additional ones. Arizona AG @azagmayes indicts the case in April.

1/Yesterday, Judge Tanya Chutkan received clearance from the appellate courts to get back to work in the Special Counsel’s election interference case in Washington, D.C. She did not waste any time. Image
2/First, she denied Trump’s motion to dismiss the entire case on presidential immunity grounds. She also directed the parties to file a joint status report by August 9, not even a week away, and she set a scheduling conference for the following week on August 16 at 10 a.m. Image
3/Judge Chutkan job now is to engage in “further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court’s opinion” in the immunity case. That means she must decide which, if any, of the 4 counts the gov't has charged Trump with should be dismissed.

1/Monday night I had the pleasure of joining @JaredHuffman & @RepRaskin for a deep dive on Project 2025, which is available on YouTube.
Image
2/Congressman Raskin stalked out this territory: it’s no longer appropriate to refer to elected Trump Republicans & GOP appointed SCOTUS justices as “conservatives.” That old-timey word implies a legitimacy that the unprincipled members of the cult of personality don’t deserve.
3/This is something I’ve been thinking about & having conversations with colleagues about As someone who believes in the rule of law, it’s painful to acknowledge that what’s happening at the Supreme Court isn’t business as usual
