Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.

This is an excellent explanation of how unbelievably incompetent and full on nonsense the note from Weiss was. My guess: 1. Someone who has very little experience is journalism (and not the stuff that tickles billionaires) is clearly a mile wide and foot deep as an editor and in far over her skis.
Watching the segment: The first thing I'm going to zero in on is the crime stats. Here's how 60 Minutes set it up:
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
Here's the rest of Bari Weiss' memo. "We do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT," and on Sec. Noem's trip "no comment from her or her staff about what her goal on that trip was... or if she had or has concerns about the treatment of detainees." LOL!

THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the following two Non-Party Motions to
Intervene to Seek Rescission of the Court's January 21, 2025, Order Enjoining Release of Volume

American Oversight, a "non-partisan nonprofit committed to promoting transparency and ensuring

organization that works to defend the freedoms of speech and the press in the digital age through
strategic litigation, research, policy analysis, and public education" [ECF No. 721 p. 1 ("Knight
First Amendment Institute Motion)]. These Non-Parties seek to intervene in this closed criminal
action to cause public release of Volume Il of the Special Counsel's Final Report, the work product
of a prosecutor appointed and funded in violation of the Appointments and Appropriations Clauses
of the United States Constitution [ECF No. 672]. See U.S. Const. Art. II, § 2, cl. 2; Art. I, § 9, cl.

individual capacity [ECF Nos. 755, 759).
Upon review of the Motions, Responses, and Replies [ECF Nos. 717, 721, 739, 740, 745,
746], and fully advised in the premises, the Motions to Intervene are DENIED. The Court's
January 21, 2025, Order is addressed in a separate order to follow, directed to the parties in this
action.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiftwypns735g7txgkzefupebo23rgtashncy2aionrfl64ez2qqxy@jpeg)
