🧵The same phenomenon of perception exists in politics and so much else. We rarely perceive a person, idea, or event exactly as it is/they are—we instead make a near-automatic inference based on context, emotions, the social status we attach to it/them, and the narratives that surround it (or don't).

🧵Former Special Counsel Jack Smith wants video of his 8-hour deposition released and continues to ask for the opportunity to testify in a public hearing.

This has been Smith's repeated request since October. Image The reason it wasn't public is because House Judiciary Committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan declined to make it so.

Though he didn't rule out a future public hearing. Image

Fmr Special Counsel will be limited in what he can say to lawmakers when the question him in a closed door session today.

A setup that favors the politicians. They’ll be able to later say things like “Jack Smith refused to answer my question blah blah blah”

🧵Richman v. United States
(Arctic Haze search warrant material case)

Image They argue Richman's "is improper multiple times over," and "[his] Rule 41(g) motion is not a valid or meritorious motion for return of property, but instead a transparent effort to suppress evidence in the Comey matter."

🧵A second superseding indictment has been filed against nine members of a North Texas Antifa cell who were already charged with rioting, attempted murder, and material support to terrorists related to an attack on an ICE detention facility last summer.

This new indictment makes a small edit to the mention of a co-conspirator (not charged in this case, likely cooperating) and adds four pages concerning forfeiture upon conviction.

United States v. Arnold et al
(North Texas Antifa Cell)

Second Superseding Indictment filed.

This new indictment makes a small edit to the mention of a co-conspirator (not charged in this case, likely cooperating) and adds four pages concerning forfeiture upon conviction. Image The original superseding indictment named Nathan Baumann as the individual Alvarado PD gave commands to.

The second superseding indictment edits this to "a rioter."

Could be they are not 100% sure it was Baumann, as everyone was wearing "black bloc."

Or, maybe they don't want to articulate Baumann, who is uncharged, committing a crime of vandalism to govt property in a filing.Image

No new tips led to this arrest.

Agents worked through millions of lines of data and hundreds of thousands of pieces of evidence (such as combing through the sales of each individual component of the bombs) to find the thread that connected the pipe bombs to Brian Cole.

Comey Case Dismissed!

In this video, I take you through Judge Currie's order dismissing the case of United States v. James Comey page by page. An appeal of the order is a near certainty, but it’s not a given that the case can be refiled even though it was dismissed without prejudice.

We are well past the SOL and the invalid charging instrument did not preserve the option to refile under 18 USC 3288. Image

🧵 In the "for your consideration" segment of my latest podcast, I present a theory on Comey's handwritten note.

I'm going to detail the basics of that theory in this thread. I think Comey placed his handwritten notes in the safe in the "super secret SCIF at FBI HQ that no one knew about."

ROOM 9582

(so silly, but it makes for a great hook in the story).

Anyway, I think Comey placed it there because it was important. Image
