  1. 2/ don't take my word for it, here's a criminal defense attorney and a former police officer walking through all the reasons you should not talk to the police, and every point these guys make in the lecture is one thousand times more relevant when it comes to the #FBI / #DOJ under #KashPatel and #PamBondi.

    the lecture includes a helpful example where the lawyer successfully entraps almost everyone in the class into saying the kind of thing that could land you in prison if you were talking to the FBI. it's not hard.

  3. the #FBI is now officially visiting the homes of people spotted at protests like #NoKings, #ICE, etc.

    it boggles the mind that there are people at #protests in the US who, upon finding #FBI agents at their door asking “do you have a few minutes to talk about the protests?” answer with anything other than “do you have a warrant?” followed by a polite request that they leave your property.

    this isn’t complicated. you need to shut the fuck up. the #5thAmendment exists for a reason. shutting the fuck up cannot be used against you, for any reason, ever. not shutting the fuck up will never help you. it can only hurt you.

    any false statement to the FBI can be charged as a crime. even if you just forgot. even if you mix up the order of events. even if you tell the truth but the agents find another person whose story contradicts yours. even if you tell the truth but the agents misremember what you said (!!!).

    talking to the FBI is much more legally perilous than talking to the police (and you shouldn’t do that either). talking to Kash Patel's FBI is far more perilous than talking to the old FBI.

    i know it’s hard. you want to be helpful. you think if you stay silent they'll find you suspicious. you want to explain yourself. it’s a very natural human thing and that’s exactly what they’re going to use against you. so here’s a helpful script you can follow: youtube.com/watch?v=uqo5RYOp4nQ

    literally every single lawyer in the united states will tell you exactly what i’m telling you now. tell a friend. tell all your friends. tell random people you see on the street.

    and shut. the. fuck. up.

    don't be like this guy, who helpfully stepped out of his house to chat with the FBI outside the range of audio recording for most of an hour: kenklippenstein.com/p/video-fb

  5. [another noteworthy section is on Souter’s confirmation hearings]

    When the Senate #Judiciary Cmte hearing began…Senators & reporters quickly realized that Souter was an impressively erudite nominee.…Amid all the concepts & issues he was asked to address, 2…stand out as most revealing: #liberty & #precedent. …Specifically, Souter stressed that in the #DueProcess clause language of the #5thAmendment & #14thAmendment, "the concept of liberty IS NOT LIMITED BY THE SPECIFIC SUBJECTS.”

  7. “…whatever differences we may have as Americans, the #Constitution is the common ground on which we stand. It’s what binds us across time & generations. ....It’s what makes us one people,” #MikePence said.

    His comments came hours after an interview w/ #Trump aired in which he was asked whether US #citizens & #noncitizens both deserve #DueProcess as laid out in the #5thAmendment of the Constitution.…

  9. "the #FifthAmendment expressly states that “No *person* shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of #law….”...

    You don’t have to be a lawyer to understand that this means everyone in the #US... is entitled to #DueProcess. To say you “don’t know” whether you can agree w/the clear language of the #5thAmendment means you aren’t even trying to defend the #Constitution. Rather, you are dismissing and defying it."

  13. #Trump said he was unsure whether people in the #US are entitled to #DueProcess rights guaranteed in the US #Constitution as his admin pushes aggressively to #deport immigrants who are in the country illegally & other non-citizens [& even #citizens].

    Kristen Welker asked Trump whether he agreed w/Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, who said last month that "of course" all people in the US are entitled to due process….

  16. Trump is claiming that your #5thAmendment privileges and #DueProcess constitutionally guarantees before some is imprisoned is a nuisance that should be ignored, just at the moment the #SupremeCourt is so deeply skeptical of him and his actions. @mspopok.bsky.social discusses youtu.be/oBSsWJId8qI?...

  17. KUTV: PHOTOS: Thousands of Utah protesters demand accountability as #5thAmendment rights ignored..
    They were there to advocate for the constitutionally guaranteed #righttodueprocess and demand President Donald #Trump and his administration be held accountable for not upholding that guarantee -- an ongoing issue for the executive branch this term.
