  1. #Trump Solicitor General Sauer pushed back on Judge Talwani’s assessment in the brief to #SCOTUS, asserting that the #USPS plan fell under the agency’s bounds to adopt rules “as may be necessary in the execution of its functions” & compared the rules for #MailBallots to Postal Service “preparation requirements for the mailing of CREMATED REMAINS & replica EXPLOSIVES.” [seriously]

  10. The trial court judge, Indira Talwani, wrote that the legal challenge to the #USPS plan by Democratic-led states & voter rights organizations was likely to succeed.

  15. #JayClayton, the #Trump admin’s nominee for #DNI, faced questions Wednesday on #election security & his commitment to keep the agency free of political interference, during a confirmation hearing that was rescheduled weeks after being abruptly scuttled by Trump [in order to keep #BillPulte in the position].

  16. Early last summer, McNamara asked officials in the #Commerce Dept to consider the potential designation of #Dominion chips & software as a national security risk, the 2 sources said.

    At the time, McNamara headed an #ODNI task force that worked with officials across the admin to investigate vulnerabilities in the nation’s #VotingMachines. The 2 sources said McNamara spoke about the issue to senior officials at the Commerce Dept, which is run by Secy Howard Lutnick.

  17. Olsen, who Democratic senators are seeking to remove from his post, aimed to invalidate #Dominion #VotingMachines before the #midterms, the 2 sources said.

Olsen has worked closely with Gabbard's Office of the Director of National Intelligence (#ODNI).

  18. White House adviser Kurt Olsen, a lawyer #Trump has tasked with proving widely debunked #election-rigging #ConspiracyTheories, pushed the plan to target #Dominion Voting Systems machines. The idea emerged, the sources said, as Olsen & other ‌officials brainstormed about how the #FederalGovernment could take control over #elections from US #states, an idea publicly aired by Trump.

  19. The afternoon session is beginning.

    #Trump is back w/his posse, including #DonaldTrumpJr; #ChuckZito, the fmr #HellsAngel ldr; & the actor #JoePiscopo.
