The federal govt canโ€™t do indirectly through companies what it canโ€™t constitutionally do itself directly. The law on this point is crystal clear. The FBI has no business even getting close to this line.

Jenna Ellis plea. That plea was a farce. State didnโ€™t make out the elements & the defendant didnโ€™t admit guilt. The judge should have rejected that plea. Itโ€™s a perfect example of the completely bankrupt state of our current criminal โ€œjusticeโ€ system.

Carter Page case. As many of you know, I have the privilege to represent Carter, along w/a team of other lawyers, in his case against the govt & former govt officials. Although there are limits to what we can say publicly, there are some things we can share. /1

No, it doesnโ€™t when the feds donโ€™t have constitutional power for the federal โ€œlaw.โ€ Thatโ€™s why the eviction moratorium didnโ€™t override state law. Itโ€™s preposterous that the WH Press Secretary either doesnโ€™t know - or is prepared to lie about - how federalism works.

No, they all resigned because grown-ups at DOJ told them their absurd sentencing recommendation was unjust & - like the toddlers they are - they threw temper tantrums.

Actually no, it isnโ€™t. Sometimes knowing you are going to lose in a lower court & just getting that part over with, is what you need to do to get the higher court that you think may agree with you.

The Trump campaign's statement suggests losing in the Third Circuit is also part of the their strategy. (They can't get to the Supreme Court if they win.) This is a weird litigation strategy.

Finished. It's hard to convey how really problematic this interview is. There are some positive details, which I'll point those, but mostly this interview is an example of investigating in a way that is not a search for the truth & is illustrative of investigative bias & abuse./8

This ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿปis unlawful. Neither the Constitution nor the federal communicable diseases statute empowers the federal govt to require mask wearing by the general public. This is simply an authoritarian move, virtue signaling, & an anti-federalism power grab.

This is excellent news. DOJ has completely distorted the Obstruction statute (18 USC 1512) to get inappropriately higher sentencing guidelines in J6 cases. All but one judge has gone along.Hopefully, SCOTUS will put a stop to the nonsense. Case is Fischer.

Flynn case. J.Sullivanโ€™s memorandum opinion on the Rule 48 motion to dismiss is completely inappropriate & he knows it. That motion was mooted by the pardon. In order to try & hide that fact, he coupled his order on that motion w/his order on the motion to dismiss for mootness.

This ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป is essentially what I think about the election status. There is 0 possibility Iโ€™d be presenting the actual facts to media yet in this scenario. It needs to be put together tightly AF for the court first. Then filed. Then explained to media. Horse, cart; not cart, horse.

It's entirely reasonable to say Trump's election lawyers need to produce hard evidence to back up their sweeping allegations, PDQ. It's absurd to expect them to do it live on a talk show, as if they were carrying Marsellus Wallace's magic glowing briefcase from Pulp Fiction.

The state of our institutions - particularly the criminal "justice" ones, but also the federal civil courts - is dire, & is unacceptable for a functioning republic. They must be radically overhauled & reformed, & a renewed emphasis on first principles restored.

No.This is what happens when people vote & their candidate is winning on Election Day & then over the course of a week the lead bleeds away due to a process that they canโ€™t see. Thatโ€™s why this is dangerous. If enough peoole lose faith in elections, we have a big ass problem.
