And pull out the facts that are relevant to the statements hes alleged t.o. made to the fbi, thats a much smaller subset. whether intentionally or not, when you look at the balance of those pages, they have several dog whistles to these kind of pro trump conspiracy theories. statements like the fbis investigation of the trump campaign relied on certain things. well, there was never an fbi investigation of the trump campaign unless you listen to some kind of far extreme right commentators or folk...

Pro-trump conspiracy theories. statements like the fbis investigation of the trump campaign relied on certain things. well, there was never an fbi investigation of the trump campaign unless you listen to some kind of far extreme right commentators or folks in congress who assert that there was, but thats nonsense. the indictment makes a point to note that the fbi was unable to corroborate steeles reporting. at the same time it neglects to mention that we werent able to disprove it either. as you...

>> well, the key takeaway is that this judge and i think most reasonable judges would have the same view, she does not believe in the convenient overbroad assertions of executive privilege because it is not based on law, it is not based on precedent. i think she has the view and she stated it very plainly at the hearing in various junctures that she thinks the argument is overstated. the other thing that i think is clear from her comments is that she doesnt think that every single thing asked fo...

A lot of trouble with that as its become clear this dossier was pretty sketchy, things in it have not been proven, some things have been definitively disproven. this new information but the indictment, especially a democratic-linked public relations official who apparently provided some of the information in the dossier that we didnt know about before, and igor danchenko is accused of misleading the fbi about, adds to the impression that this dossier was a dubious set of assertions, even if it l...

Plaintiffs seeing abortion providers to sue anywhere in the state? thats not the normal way venue works in texas, is it? >> its not, your honor, and there are a variety -- a handful of individual procedural rules designed to favor this action the same as other actions like the anti-trust laws or under 1983. happy to stipulate to that. tot extent they became extraordinary might seep -- theyre bringing a substantive claim and attempting to cash that out through some form of enforcement against fir...

Surprise to some people on capitol hill. and its also being looked at as a victory for people in trumps orbit. former trump staffers have publicly and very privately been taking a victory lap. this is undoubtedly a scalp for former president trump and his efforts to really wipe out anyone who publicly disputes his false assertions of election fraud and his continued, you know, propagandists attempts. first it was anthony gonzalez. now it is adam kinzinger. i feel like last week, nicole, you and ...

General noted the doj and f.b.i. had work to do to strengthen the review process for fisa application. this has become a partisan issue, it is issue of privacy, due process and integrity of the foreign intelligence surveillance court and application it receives. the ig report notes the f.b.i. has not change said the process by which supervisor for national security division reviews and documents the factual assertions made in fisa applications and i discuss this issue with matt olson before the ...

Hold bannon in contempt for defying the january 6th subpoena order. every democrat in the house voted in favor of this, nine republicans joined them. meanwhile, the committee may soon gain critical insight from one of the main former administration officials who tried to help the ex-president overturn the 2020 election. cnn reports that the former doj official, this man, jeffrey clark may be one of the first to actually comply with the committees subpoenas and testify before the panel next week....

His lawyer. and at least some federal courts have said thats a complete defense to a charge of contempt. executive privilege is not limited to white house officials. bannon wasnt in the white house. people point this out a lot. but the justice department in a 2007 office of legal counsel opinion said the whole point is for presidents to get candid advice from anybody, so its not limited to just white house officials. although its clearly strongest for people around the presidents official advise...
