In a new reply brief, Fulton County pushes back on DOJ’s invocation of privilege regarding the timing of criminal investigation into alleged 2020 election fraud. Among other things, the county argues that DOJ did not object on specific privilege grounds when asked about the timeline at the hearing.

First, Respondent's "timeliness" argument should be rejected. Petitioners'
specific request for evidence arises out of Respondent's incomplete answers to the

“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024. It’s almost as if there were signs! bsky.app/profile/anna...

We never got an answer. Only more war.
More casualties. And no victory.
Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?
What if we treated the enemy the way they treated us? Would that not be an incentive for
the other side to reconsider their barbarism?
Hey, Al Qaeda: If you surrender, we might spare your life. If you do not, we will rip your arms off and feed them to hogs.
Makes me wonder, in 2024—if you want to win—how can anyone write universal rules about killing other people in open conflict?
Especially against enemies who fight like savages, disregarding human life in every single instance. Maybe, instead, we are just fighting with one hand behind our back—and the enemy knows it.
This is a big reason there hasn't been a war
