I can't get over the collective shrug this story is getting. The presumptive @GOP presidential candidate doxxes the Obamas on truth social, posting alleged address. A J6 def retruths it & then drives to address. Secret Service arrest J6er in his van with 2 guns & 100s of rounds/1

A strong, shrewd amicus brief was filed yesterday in the appeal of Judge Cannon’s dismissal of US v Trump (MaL) for the AG’s alleged improper appt of Jack Smith. It urges reassignment to a new judge if the court reverses. I’ll encapsulate. ... 1/18 bit.ly/3Xecred

I just left the hearing in the criminal contempt case against Stephen Bannon. Some notes on what happened. I'm sure you heard the headline, which is that Bannon's motion to dismiss was denied, so that we're still on track for a trial in July. /1

Lately, I haven’t been reporting much on the Jan 6 blue-collar offenders, but defendant David Dempsey’s story is one worth telling. DOJ is asking for a nearly 22-yr sentence for him (262 mos). h/t @ryanjreilly ... 1/13

Surprised this hasn’t gotten more attention. During the debate, when Trump claimed (falsely) that on Jan. 6 “nobody on the other side was killed,” the “other side” he was talking about was the police & Congress. He also called the rioters “we” before he caught himself. 1/4

DOJ has now fired 26 people who worked on Jack Smith's team. Pure political vengeance against professionals committed to the rule of law.

Govt’s filing yesterday in USA v Trump (MAL) is devastating. It was responding to Judge Cannon’s inquiry—acting on her own—suggesting there was something abusive about govt’s continued use of DC grand jury after M-a-L indictment was handed down. ... /1

In the FBI probe that led to the US v Trump classified docs case, a former Trump Adm witness identified as Person 16 described another former Trump Adm member, Person 24, as “unhinged” & “crazy.” Person 24 shares many traits of, and may be, Kash Patel. ... 1/4

I’m going to unpack here what I was getting at hastily last night. Jack Smith is trying to force Judge Cannon to stop Trump’s dangerous lies about the FBI—facilitated by def attys—by shoving in her ear her past orders targeting the govt. ... 1/10 bit.ly/3wFoKal
