Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).

@agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov "No one is above the law," correct? So, when will you be charging Bianco with a felony? Or are you going to ignore his criminal conduct and defiance of lawful directives from your office?

As I said: Trump's dictatorial attempt to silence his critics in the press will fail miserably. But it provides additional clear unmistakable evidence that he's nothing more than a wannabe dictator who, if he could get away with it, would burn the Constitution. 43 days till sanity begins a comeback.

Can DOJ prove BARD that Comey had actual knowledge that 8647 was a "threat"? Even if they could, they'd still have to prove that Comey "consciously" disregard a "substantial risk" that someone would act on that threat and injure (875(c)) or kill (871(a)) Trump.

"jury"? @barbmcquade.bsky.social This indictment will never get to a petit jury even if, after it's dismissed (read my pinned thread), Trump's legal henchmen (other than the inexperienced AUSA who screwed up this presentation) obtain another indictment. Garbage pure & simple.

Comey: Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.

State criminal conduct not "necessary" or "proper" to performing any specific federal "duty" can be prosecuted -- no Supremacy Clause immunity. No federal law "preempts" the state criminal charges. Killers of Good & Pretti on are borrowed time. Justice is coming.

Trump doesn't care if any of his actions are "war crimes" because he knows that there's no chance of him ever having to face justice for any such acts. Not under US law or International Law.

Has anyone in the Trump administration faced any punishment, penalty, or meaningful consequences for having blatantly violated any of the 300 court orders? Anything at all? What, if anything, have any of the judges done to address this egregious, contemptuous, conduct?

Trump used the Presidential Records Act to defend himself against charges alleging that he stole classified documents. Now his Justice Department—which is currently being run by his former criminal defense lawyer—says the PRA is unconstitutional.
