1/4 This is Barr covering his posterior, since the informant info goes back to 2017, as John Solomon reported. He wants to lay the inaction on the Biden Administration whereas in reality, the inaction straddles both the Barr DOJ and this DOJ, with Wray as a constant across both.
2/4 Now, the way Barr would answer your question is that he had assigned looking at Hunter Biden corruption allegations to the Delaware US Attorney, so sending Joe Biden corruption allegations to the same US Attorney seemed like a natural fit.

1/x This will be a long 🧵on the topic of whether H.R. 3746's permitting reform is worth something or is basically worthless. H.R. 3746 raises the debt limit.
From here on out, I call it "the Bill."
This will no doubt be my longest thread so strap in. I'll begin with main pts.
2/x The "reforms" in H.R. 3746 (“the Bill”) will do little to solve the serious problems created by the 1970 National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and its regulations.
NEPA is a law that requires all infrastructure projects to be analyzed for their environmental effects.

1/x OK, I've listened so as not to be only abstract. (This will be a long thread as I'm going to take the most salient things on point by point.)
First, there will be snark or acrimony here. I'd like to think of both @JennaEllisEsq and @josh_hammer as friends in conservatism.
2/x Second, I think reasonable conservatives can differ in the race between Trump and DeSantis.
Third, I think DeSantis does have his merits.
Fourth, I'm not going to descend into the intercamp mud wars.
Fifth, the Jenna-Josh podcast exchange was better than I'd expected.

1/4 Rep Raskin tells us several things about “woke” here, all of which I think is balderdash:
see around 19:50-21:00 mark.
Specifically, he says:
1) conservatives don’t know what the term means; 2) the Left doesn’t really know what it means either;
2/4 cont’d: 3) we on the Left have stopped using the term anyway, so conservatives are too late; & 4) I, Rep Raskin, have a def’n for “woke” which is “stay vigilant” because we Dems are under attack.

1/ VERY IMPORTANT THREAD 🧵on how House Dems objected to other House Dems destroying due process for President Trump 👇
Sometimes the MSM does its job and exposes true hypocrisy and releases stories that are not entirely biased in a leftward direction.
foxnews.com/politics/nadle…2/ In essence, Speaker Pelosi & Rep. Schiff designed the first Trump impeachment to deny Trump due process. Remarkably, Nadler called them on it, as a new book from Politico reporter + WaPo reporter coming out 10/18 shows.
Nadler said Pelosi & Schiff acted "unconstitutional[ly]"

1/4 In Somersett’s case (1772), Lord Mansfield, the great English jurist, set in motion the demise of slavery in the English-speaking world, saying “[slavery] is so odious, that nothing can be suffered to support it, but positive law.” And there was no such legislation in England
2/4 Antislavery had achieved at least minority support among the American colonies’ thought leaders long before the Declaration of Independence and the Boston Party in 1773.

1 FACT: For many of the past few months, the biggest MSM political news stories on many days have been related to the J6 Cmte
Thus this video SHOULD BE the biggest news story because it blows the Cmte up. Cmte clearly an op designed only to damage Trump.

2 Preston Moore is a TikTok influencer. He’s a plaintiffs-side lawyer at Beasley Allen in Atlanta. He’s NOT a Trump supporter.
He reveals in video that he was offered money to spread J6 propaganda against Trump.
This will be a long thread because what he was asked is so damning

1/5 I believe that the Constitution answers these questions. Structurally, legal enactments must be read as a whole. Article II makes the President the Chief law enforcement officer of the United States, not the AG.
2/5 But AG must take an oath--Article VI, cl. 3. The AG must therefore, himself personally, support the Constitution, which means he mustn't do anything unconstitutional or that violates valid, properly passed laws of Congress (which get enacted under Article I)- not invalid ones

1/5 At the 40,000-ft level, it's funny how the J6 Cmte, which clearly has acted and will continue to act as an improper, junior varsity prosecutor, violating the sacred constitutional separation of powers, has been cleared in some ct. decisions as engaged in a legislative inquiry
2/5 But when @LindseyGrahamSC argues his contacts with a Georgia official re the 2020 were legislative in nature and thus protected by the Speech and Debate Clause, he loses because, well, he might have been engaging in SOME non-legislative activity too.
1 Nice try Sarah. You have quite the instinct for the capillaries.
And you’ve consistently gotten things wrong and acted unethically, including by putting out at least one story from lawyer leakers violating the DC Bar confidentiality rules while questioning my ethics.
2 But to you it is OK to aid and abet others clearly violating the rules as long as it’s in the service of attacking me, who only stands ACCUSED by them of violating the rules.
And you can’t even see the irony, blinded by the Democrat narrative of who is hero and who is villain.
