  1. The #Trump #DOJ agreed to let #ElonMusk pay one penny on the dollar in a civil penalty to the govt.
    arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20

    Why? Because Musk is indigent?

    The penalty is for failing to disclose that he bought a 9% share of Twitter in 2022, enabling him to buy more shares at artificially low prices. Musk was convicted by a jury of violating #SEC mandatory disclosure rules in January 2025.

    What's the next step? Pull a #MichaelFlynn? Sue the govt for malicious prosecution and find a docile DOJ willing to settle with him for $1+ million?

  2. "Flynn didn’t get $50 million, but he did just get $1.2 million in taxpayer dollars in this settlement with the government. This isn’t a real settlement, of course, because a settlement in a lawsuit is something hammered out by parties with adverse interests. This is just the DOJ openly siding with Flynn."

  3. "In a short court filing on Wednesday, Flynn and the Department of Justice filed a joint notice of settlement in Flynn’s civil case. That’s the one he filed in 2023, where he claimed that he had been maliciously prosecuted and that he expected compensatory damages of at least $50 million."

  4. Finally, there are press reports highlighing a memo released in the DOJ production of Epstein files which alleges that a large volume of documents was shredded by the team charged with investigating Epstein’s alleged suicide. Hubbell concludes:

    "Trump has dragged the DOJ and the Supreme Court into a deep well of corruption."

  5. Then there's Trump's Pam Bondi-led DOJ paying former General Michael Flynn $1.2 million to settle his case against the government for selective prosecution arising out of lies he admitted telling the FBI, in which he denied contacts with Russian officials before Trump was inaugurated.

  6. @huntingdon @Nonilex Especially since cowardly #MichaelFlynn dropped his attempt at #intimidation in his case against #JimStewartson ,afraid of what discovery would establish for the records.

  7. The #DOJ cast the settlement as an “important step in redressing” what it says was a “historic injustice” of the #Russia investigation that shadowed #Trump for much of his first term.

    …The settlement is the latest turn in the long-running legal saga involving #MichaelFlynn, one of 6 Trump associates charged as part of special counsel #RobertMueller’s investigation into potential ties between Russia & Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

  8. It also represents a stark turnabout in position for a #DOJ that during the #Biden admin had pressed a judge to dismiss the complaint. AG #PamBondi, a fmr personal lawyer for #Trump, has been a vocal critic of the #Russia investigation in which #MichaelFlynn was charged & the #FBI & DOJ over the last year have pushed out ofcls who participated in #criminal inquiries of Trump.

  9. Court papers filed Wednesday do not reveal the settlement amount, but a person familiar with the matter…confirmed the total as about $1.2 million.

    The settlement resolves a 2023 lawsuit in which Flynn sought at least $50 million & asserted that the criminal case against him amounted to a malicious prosecution.

    [if you played #guilty, then you are admitting that you broke the law. So how could it be malicious prosecution?]

  10. Unreal

    #DOJ settles lawsuit from #Trump ally #MichaelFlynn for $1.2 million, AP source says

    The “Justice” Dept has settled for roughly $1.2 million a lawsuit with Michael Flynn, the fmr national security adviser to Trump who pleaded #guilty during the Republican’s first term to lying about phone conversations with a top Russian diplomat but was later pardoned.

  11. 30-person roundtable by Gold Institute for International Strategy, whose chair is election-denier #MichaelFlynn (was National Security Advisor).
    Former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Burne said on #LindellTV "At some point, he's got to do the muscular thing: declare a national emergency."
    The #WhiteHouse lawyer charged w/ re-investigating(!) the 2020 #election, Keith Olson, attended, as did the #DHS official responsible for election integrity, Heather Honey.

  13. I just saw #PaulThomasAnderson's latest.. OMFG, talk about a prescient movie for the times we live in!
    #SeanPenn was immaculate as a camo-adorned facsimile of #TomHoman sprinkled with a pungent trace of #MichaelFlynn. Coupled with pathetic combat "police" spending #citizen's tax on futile domestic #warfare

    Excerpt
    Inside the Anti-Democratic Movement That Restored Trump to Power

    An excerpt from “Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy” lifts the curtain on Trump’s authoritarian movement

    February 15, 2025

  15. …In a post on his social media platform…, #Trump said he had appointed [disgraced] fmr national security adviser [& #RussianAsset] #MichaelFlynn to the US #Military Academy’s board of visitors, along w/Rep Wesley Hunt (R-TX); Maureen Bannon, a West Point alum & daughter of… #SteveBannon; Medal of Honor recipient David Bellavia; & ret major general Dan Walrath.

  16. #OnThisDay in 2020, US President #DonaldTrump pardons former security advisor #MichaelFlynn, who had pled guilty of lying to the FBI.

  17. well this toot blew up lol... i guess one thing i take away from it is the extent to which "character is destiny" and how the character of the #Nazi regime was painfully obvious to people of good faith even from its first moments (to that end I also recommend Dorothy Thompson's 1941 essay "Who Goes Nazi?").

    unfortunately while there are dissimilarities between that crew and trump's, e.g. the glorification of war, it's also true that there are a lot of scary war loving fascists on team #Trump. Ken Silverstein managed to get a hold of a private group chat featuring a lot of these folks earlier this year. Who was in the chat:

    - #ErikPrince (#IraqWar Blackwater massacre guy)
    - #KimberlyGuilfoyle (Don Jr's gf)
    - #MichaelFlynn
    - #NRA guys
    - #AfD guys
    - #TuckerCarlson
    - Israeli intel
    - Congressmen who resigned in various scandals

    ...and worse.
