  1. U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled that #Drumpf's handpicked #DOJ stooge was "unlawfully serving" when he sent #subpoena to #NewYorkState #AttorneyGeneral #LetitiaJames. Issue hinged on #WhiteHouse appointee who overstayed welcome of 120 days before confirmation, a #violation under the #FVRA (Federal Vacancy Reform Act)

  2. #Trump’s team has zeroed in on some candidates for other roles after vetting thousands of names & seeking to ensure they are #loyal to Trump.

    #MarkPaoletta, who served as general counsel in the OMB in Trump’s first term, is a contender to become #US #AttorneyGeneral…. #Paoletta was responsible for some of the Trump admin’s most controversial moves, including a delay in security assistance to #Ukraine that triggered Trump’s first #impeachment.

  3. Possible #Trump US #AttorneyGeneral pick: #MarkPaoletta

    Paoletta is spreader of #ConspiracyTheories: he claimed the legal cases against Trump were fabricated. The world witnessed #Jan6, the #ClassifiedDocuments case is undeniable, Trump was convicted of 34 #felonies in NY by a jury, was found liable for #defamation & #SexualAbuse & the judge minced no words in his opinion about the fact that Trump #raped #EJeanCarroll, & Trump & TrumpOrg were found liable for committing decades of #fraud.

  4. Update:

    “They met w/#Justice Dept personnel including #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith, but NOT #AttorneyGeneral #MerrickGarland or Deputy Attorney General #LisaMonaco, said people familiar w/the matter, who like others interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a closed door proceeding.”

  5. …And in #Trump’s case, a meeting w/the #AttorneyGeneral would be even more unusual & problematic because the investigation is being led by #JackSmith, whose #SpecialCounsel appointment gives him greater autonomy than other prosecutors in the #Justice Dept. Under dept regs, the AG may overrule the special counsel ONLY IF the special counsel has failed to follow DOJ policies & practices.

  6. It is not unusual for lawyers for high-profile defendants to seek an audience w/snr #DOJ ofcls toward the end of a federal #criminal investigation. But it would be uncommon for such meetings to take place w/the #AttorneyGeneral, the nation’s top #law enforcement ofcl.
