According to DNI Gabbard, she didn't see our Whistleblower complaint until two weeks ago yet ICIG - whom she praises - told our @wbaidlaw.bsky.social client last June 2025 that DNI was provided complete submission.

So which is the truth?

This is why our client needs to speak w/Congress.

A second federal lawsuit was filed in DC today against this woman, who was a paid undercover operative for James O'Keefe. We learned her true identity as part of first lawsuit but real name is currently under seal.

Actions have consequences.

We filed new 1st Amendment lawsuit today against Secretary Kristi Noem & DHS for firing federal employee for expressing private comments & personal views during fake date set up by James O'Keefe's targeted political operations. O'Keefe's paid undercover operative was also sued.

I support Greenland remaining territory of Denmark. Our govt should cease all efforts to intimidate or coerce allies.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't negotiate increased military presence with consent given strategic location. Existing agreements already permit this to happen.

I am always thinking of those lost on Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, but especially today on 37th anniversary at annual memorial ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

I was honored to be an attny for many family members and was part of original team that sued Libya in 1993.

It was an amazing honor and great time to spend an afternoon with Joe!

Trump openly hosting lavish party w/excess food & drink while tens of millions of Americans, especially children, face loss of SNAP food is exactly what F. Scott Fitzgerald decried against & reflects Trump's actual views on his true American kingdom.

Back in March, former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and I "sat" next to each other in Trump White House Victim Memorandum class.

How pathetic and embarrassing to see a sitting US President continue to personally attack a private citizen.

People still think this isn't authoritarian?

Even amazing lawyers can't change the fact that deceased individuals (or their estates) cannot bring defamation lawsuits.

New social media DoD policy severely restricting First Amendment rights beyond seen before & obviously intended to stifle dissent against Administration.

Of course, DoD political leadership would be in violation if actually applied to them. Leadership should come from the top.

This story is 100% false. My firm represents Holly Paz and she has absolutely not been fired by IRS.

We have sent @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy a legal demand to withdraw this story completely and will pursue defamation litigation if necessary.

Apparently O'Keefe is panicking. Check out his Epstein deflection response on X! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

One would think he could do better than this.

Federal Judge has authorized discovery against O'Keefe to compel him w/i 7 days to reveal identity of his undercover operative "Heidi Doe".

Those who cooperate w/O'Keefe should be aware there may be legal consequences to their actions.

Our statement on behalf of our client former CDC Director Susan Monarez in light of HHS Secretary Kennedy's unsworn testimony before Senate Finance Committee today:
September 4, 2025 at 7:16 PM
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire).

But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
