🔥🔥🔥Grassley letter reviews FBI ordered records destroyed in September 2020. This does NOT conform to records preservation requirements...you know thing FBI raided Mar-a-Lago for! 1/
3/ Still trying to put puzzle together but letter of 5/5 provides solid hints. It'd seem that the destroyed record was related to Biden-Ukraine corruption & to fake briefing Dems had FBI do to falsely frame Grassley & Johnson as peddling Russian disinfo. grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
🚨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.
