- Am crowdsourcing a list of federal laws that might have been violated today (feel free to add). Possibilities from quickly reading 18 USC (in no particular order): 1) 18 USC 2383: Rebellion or Insurrection 2) 18 USC 2384: Seditious Conspiracy 1/n
- .@jedshug and I explain why Cassidy Hutchinson's Tuesday testimony changed our minds on indicting Donald Trump. For @lawfareblog lawfareblog.com/cassidy-hutchi…

- These "service providers" have lost their minds. There's no assurance that Trump, who's not even the president yet, can provide.
