Also, I've gotten the question of is Trump going to SCOTUS? I thought they would because d.ct.'s ruling was sooooo nutso, but the appellate court stayed the lower court's holding IJ had to give him a hearing on avoiding removal on alternative grounds. 1/
2/ IJ held removable for lying on visa application and Khalil sought a hearing on whether IJ should waive that based on loving husband/father. New Jersey judge said IJ had to give hearing on that argument. Appellate court stayed that. So he is still removable based on that.
3/ I think Trump Administration decided it wasn't worth rushing & seeking SCOTUS involvement because SCOTUS wouldn't see a "rush" risk b/c alternative basis allows it to percolate for some time. Given timing & desire to not push too much, I get it.
🔥Below is play-by-play 🧵of quick once-over of Appendix. My big picture take-away is this: The details reveal how corrupt the investigation into Trump was! They opened Crossfire Hurricane on the Presidential candidate with nothing, continued it with that nothing disproven AND 1/
2/ continued it during President's first term with more nothings and evidence that it was all fake. I care more about that fact and fact that Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Mueller, and more conspired to further hoax, along with media than that they ignored Clinton plan.
3/ This new evidence is damning of FBI's failure to investigate Lynch, Clinton, and others, and that's bad. But what's worse is what they did--target Trump to destroy his candidacy and then his presidency. It's also damning on Think Tanks & legacy media's involvement.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Exclusive. Scandal re Obama-ordered fake Intelligence Community Assessment or ICA on Russia election meddling just keeps getting worse. Documents reveal Brennan's buddy threatened to w/hold promotion to get him to go along with fake ICA. 1/
2/2 Why? Because DOD's DIA trusted the senior intelligence official and if he agreed with assessment, DIA would have signed on with CIA & FBI. @FDRLST with @MZHemingwaythefederalist.com/2025/07/30/exc…
🧵on why I did not release the memo summarizing the Judicial Conference. Apparently some folks are suspicious of why I did not publish the memo, so here's a thread explaining. 1/
2/ As footnote 2 from the DOJ complaint suggests, any summary of the Judicial Conference was lengthy and the memorandum I reviewed was as well, nearly 20 pages of internal discussions, none of which had ANYTHING to do with Boasberg's comments.
3/ Those discussions provided neither content or context to Boasberg's comments and were either held no news value or in my judgment and that of my editor, with whom we discussed the issue at length, any slight news value did not justify revealing the internal communications.
🧵So just noddling on what the Durham appendix will include and thinking it will include quite a bit of details on intercepts of Russian Foreign Intelligence
(SVR) Service. 1/
