THREAD: Breaking. Durham files Motion to Compel Clinton Campaign, DNC, and Fusion GPS to produce material w/h based on "attorney-client" privilege.
2/ In sum, Durham wants the documents w/h identified in appendix to be given to court to decide if privilege. (Reading while tweeting so bear with me). First main argument is that Fusion wasn't retained to help w/ legal advise but to get dirt & that isn't protected.
3/ Ohhh, not sure if this was public before but the white paper re Alfa is included as an exhibit.
4/ Giggle...
5/ I didn't realize this...
6/ LOL Cites Fusion's book as support.
7/ Dang... Exhibit A under seal...
8/ Okay Sleuths...what was this about. AND this makes me even more sus about Joffe's tip to OIG about someone's computer communicating a foreign ip address.
9/ So, Sussmann represented Joffe, but didn't bill him, only Clinton Campaign.
10/ Cute.
11/ While government cites criminal activity exception, Durham doesn't press that argument, but focuses on fact it wasn't legal advise.
2/ Judge says "no evidence introduced" that Wade ever received permission to exceed 60 hour cap. BUT
3/ These billing records (I'm assuming were admitted into evidence), shows Wade billed twice that for several months before he entered the second contract in November 2022.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Big win for @KenPaxtonTX on quorum clause case. Remedy is narrow & only strikes so-called Pregnant Workers Fairness Act but appalling blot on Dem.-controlled Congress who passed & President Biden who signed 1.7 trillion spending bill never constitutionally passed. 1/
2/ I think I'm one of few who continued to cover b/c I realized strength of constitutional argument & significance. (thanks @FDRLST for backing me) Here's post-argument write-up: thefederalist.com/2024/01/22/con…
🚨🚨🚨THREAD on latest re Smirnov: Completely at loss to understand what the hell Weiss is doing, other than CYA. There are 3 possibilities: (1) Smirnov was completely honest w/ his handler; (2) Smirnov is a foreign agent; or (3) Smirnov is a dishonest highly credible source.1/
2/ As I wrote today, if #2, which seems to by Weiss' pitch, the Delaware U.S. Attorney's office basically gave a foreign agent--a Russian one at that per Weiss' filings--3 years to feed our IC/FBI misinformation b/c of desire to protect the Bidens. thefederalist.com/2024/02/21/dav…
3/ That's horrible, but I'd suggest option #3 is even worse: that Smirnov was a highly credible source on many details, but was dishonest about other details. That scenario coincides with what FBI said when asked about Smirnov and based on his reporting going back to 2010.
