The judge, for his part, warned the government that the case shouldn't get off track because of classified information issues.

Either the information will be declassified or we'll go through the "fastest CIPA process you've ever seen in your life," he said.

The government's lack of a plan prompted Comey's counsel, Fitzgerald, to say that the prosecution "put the cart before the horse."

Usually, you figure out classified information issues in consultation w/ DOJ's national security division *before* bringing a case, he said.

MORE: The government indicated that it is not yet sure how it intends to handle the potential use of classified information at trial — i.e., whether it will use the process set out in the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) or opt to declassify the information.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 7d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

tromp has no strategy. he literally is an ego-occupied dolt.
so he is absurdly easy to manipulate.
all he ever wants is praise money and favors.
if you suspect a plan, look for a pattern with the people whispering into his miracle ear.

come now, these aren’t even hypothetical talking points.

1. every word salad from tromp’s mouth is a lie

2. conservative means “keep what we have, steal more from wherever we can, and for fuck’s sake dont give anything to anyone unless it’s for a tax writeoff or a favor.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
