🧵Trump Administration's filed emergency motion for stay before 11th Cir. yesterday re Allegator Alcatraz. Link and highlights follow. 1/ 2/ ecf.ca11.uscourts.gov/n/beam/servlet…

The Maryland Father's attorneys sure seemed to be playing fast and loose with the facts!
2/ Garcia: "I won't plead guilty unless you deport me to Costa Rica."
DOJ: "Well, if you insist."
Garcia: "Judge you must dismiss this case because they are forcing me to plead guilty."

WHOA! Fifth Circuit holds quorum clause does not require physical presence. I absolutely disagree with that conclusion. 1/ 2/ecf.ca5.uscourts.gov/n/beam/servlet…

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Another Trump win on appeal with D.C. Circuit vacating preliminary injunction. Order isn't loading yet so details to follow. 1/ 2/ Here's what the case is about:

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Another appellate win for Trump! 1/ 2/ So as background this is the consolidated (joined) cases involving USAID where the district court originally ordered payment of millions within like 36 hours and Justice Roberts granted an administrative stay and then said basically redo so it is feasible.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: HUGE Trump Win on Boasberg contempt case!! 2/ Analysis to follow!

THREADETTE: ⬇️is my play-by-play of 9th Cir. decision. Top-line: Loss to Trump AND horrible opinion b/c law is clear that "reasonable suspicion" depends on totality of circumstances & yet court prevents ICE from considering totality of circumstances. 1/

2/ District court had actually allowed for that by including "expected as permitted by law," which the 9th Cir. struck. 9th Cir. THEN, after saying ICE could consider other circumstances, actually altered injunction's language of "presence at a particular location"

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: 9th Cir. denies Trump Administration stay regarding district court's efforts to micromanage ICE "except as to a single clause" but that single clause is what allowed ICE to do it's job! Still reading so clarity to follow. 1/ 2/ As I noted before one of the problems with the court's injunction is that you can't enjoin a situation where the situation depends on all of the facts and circumstances, for instance, if a voluntary encounter which needs no reasonable suspicion.

🧵I wanted to re-read a section of Brennan's testimony to HPSCI and ended up re-reading the entire thing. There's a whole lot of lying going on!

2/ Holy crap! Brennan says there were "two" products produced--but there were three and the third one was the only one that included referenced to the Steele dossier and other fake intel!

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.

🔥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/

https://twitter.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1950927273453879568

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.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING Durham appendix released. 1/ 2/ grassley.senate.gov/news/news-rele…

🚨🚨🚨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/

https://twitter.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1950206314627424438

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.

🧵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/ 2/ Lots re Clinton:

🔥The HPSCI report on the fake Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2016 election revealed that another huge scandal overlooked: Obama had Brennan & team write a substantially different version of ICA based on phony intel. 1/ 2/ This becomes clear when you compare the HPSCI report's analysis of the ICA with the just declassified version released by @DNIGabbard. The HPSCI team reviewed "compartmented version" which referenced the Steel dossier & other belatedly reported intel.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Huge win for Trump Administration with judge DISMISSING lawsuits challenging President's supposed "dismantling of USAID." This development is hugely significant! 1/ 2/ Here's opinion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

🧵Holy BEEP! Wading through the HPSCI report on ICA which I had previously exclusively reported revealed corruption was much worse than what CIA report on ICA revealed. Hitting points here. 2/ Here's the link if you want to read along, but there are so many threads that need to be wove together to understand, which I'll do below. justthenews.com/sites/default/…

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Trump Administration files petition for writ of mandamus in 9th Cir. to check district court. (Layman's terms: Trump asked the federal appellate court to tell the lower court judge he can't do something. It is not an appeal and thus case is against the "court.") 1/ 2/ Here's docket. (Sorry, not "breaking" was filed yesterday. Just seeing now.) courtlistener.com/docket/7088487…

🔥🔥🔥Obama ordered the fraudulent ICA on Russia influence in 2016 before IC pulled PDB that @DNIGabbard released yesterday, declassified emails show! Working on deep-dive of release & just discovered this detail! 2/ Until now, everyone (unless I missed someone who already caught this) assumed Obama ordered the ICA during the 12/9/2016 meeting, but NO, this email from day before (12/8/2016) referenced that ordered ICA, noting goes to Obama 1/9. AND 12/8 email referenced upcoming 12/9 "PC" meeting.

🚨BREAKING: Lawyers in Alien Enemies Act case representing aliens removed to El Salvador now want Trump Administration to bring them back from Venezuela where they are now, to provide them habeas. IF they want asylum, though, they can seek from Venezuela. 1/ 2/ If citizens, they could show and come without habeas (and none are). And none of the others have a right to be in U.S., plus they'd be nuts to agree to come back to U.S. now. Trump Administration also has stronger argument that they are enemies given Venezuela wanted them.
