Senior Fellow.
Wow. Twitter took down my long-pinned tweet on Tucker Carlson from June of 2022 that amassed thousands and thousands of likes and retweets or quote tweets.
No explanation was given to me.
If I run an advanced search for tweets on my account mentioning Tucker, there's a…
I'm beginning to read the indictment against Trump. But even three pages in, it's clear that the leaks that preceded the indictment are far too close to what is actually being pleaded by DOJ to be a coincidence.
For example, in paragraph 6a on page 3, we hear about the recording…
Let me make a mathematical point about the new E. Jean Carroll verdict — actually a mathematical point combined with a point about the law of preclusion.
The original verdict was about $5 million, which should be res judicata between Trump and Carroll for damage to her…

Prosecutors Reportedly Met with Biden Admin Before 3 Trump Indictments
It’s all coordinated.
All of it.
Never before in US history has one man — Donald J Trump — been subjected to such a sustained barrage of Lawfare.
It must be repudiated.

80 FBI AGENTS working to make sure Trump didn't get elected?
How could Bill Barr not have known? How could he not have stopped it, especially because he was posturing as if he were studying election irregularity problems?
I can tell you I wouldn't have allowed FBI censorship.
7. The FBI’s social media-focused task force, known as FTIF, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds.

If you think it's a victory to have an unpredictable civil war inside an unstable country with thousands of nuclear warheads pointed at the USA - you might not be exactly thinking things through, and that's an understatement.
The idea was to get a criminal case going against Trump, any case.
First, set up traps with NARA letters administratively.
Then, Joe Biden authorize special access to Trump's documents at NARA.
Next, get a search warrant from a magistrate judge in Florida who should have…
So it also appears that Smith is not charging Trump for possessing alleged "classified documents" found in the 15 boxes Trump gave to NARA in Jan 2022--which prompted NARAs criminal referral to DOJ and justified the opening of FBIs criminal investigation in March 2022 😂🤡

for calling attention to the 65 Project.
It and a group named LDAD are carrying out lawfare against Trump lawyers.
I am a target of that campaign.
Here’s my piece on the evils of this tyranny and lawyer intimidation.
Have you heard of the 65 Project? The Unabomber, the Boston Bombers, murderers, and rapists all deserve a defense, but lawyers who represent President Trump, a constitutional right for all citizens, are threatened with disbarment — a professional death sentence.

Burisma CEO claimed to possess text messages, wire transfer statements, and 17 recordings (2 with Joe Biden and 15 with Hunter Biden) showing he was forced to pay the Bidens to ensure the firing of Viktor Shokin.

This witness walks right into the boom being lowered on him.

Kudos to the Speaker holding firm.
The tone of the reporters doesn’t reach to hysterical levels — that would be an exaggeration — but it’s very highly excited as their 2 yr+ narrative is crumbling, yet McCarthy remains calm.
Now we have not only Marc Elias bragging about biased DC jury pools, but Lawrence O’Donnell too.
O’Donnell notes the odds Trump can get a Republican who would vote for him on his jury as being worse than winning any lottery.
Venue re the Jack Smith case must be changed from DC.
Perhaps this violates my own self-imposed rule for Good Friday through Easter to put politics to the side during this sacred period.

Barr shut down McSwain. He also shut down Larry Keefe the US Attorney in Florida.
