@emptywheel wrote about Jim Jordan holiday info dump from Jack Smith iview, let's keep talking about it
Jim Jordan was afraid of the mob during the Jan 6th insurrection
The insurrection and many other crimes would have not happened if it weren't for Trump
Smith still can't talk about theft of classified documents because Cannon is still bogarting the report

The existence of the messages comes as Ingrassia’s nomination to lead the Office of #SpecialCounsel — an agency that investigates federal employee #whistleblower complaints & #discrimination claims, among other sensitive work — is already in trouble. Earlier this month, POLITICO reported that #PaulIngrassia, 30, has been the subject of an internal investigation at DHS, where he works as WH liaison, after a #SexualHarassment complaint was filed against him.

Why was a key DOJ spokesman abruptly terminated? Dan Mangan reveals that Peter Carr, who served under former Special Counsels Robert Mueller and Jack Smith, has been let go by the DOJ, sparking curiosity over ongoing investigations into Trump. The firing comes amidst scrutiny of Carr's long tenure since 2007 and broader implications following Trump's presidency.

The Office of #SpecialCounsel investigates #whistleblower complaints & protects #GovernmentEmployees from #mistreatment in the federal workplace.
#Dellinger, a Senate-confirmed appointee of President #Biden, was fired in a short email from the #Trump WH in Feb. He sued the admin to stop his ouster, saying it violated a #law barring the president from removing him except for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.” His 5-year term was supposed to last until 2029. -
Appeals court allows #Trump admin to temporarily remove #watchdog lawyer #HamptonDellinger
A federal appeals court on Wed allowed Trump to temporarily remove the head of an #independent watchdog agency who was investigating the admin’s #MassFirings of probationary #FederalWorkers.
In a 2-pg order, the court granted the Trump admin’s request to stay a lower court ruling that blocked Trump from summarily firing #Dellinger, head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel.

And when you take all the elements from the #RobertMueller report (the #SpecialCounsel, responsible of the investiation)... the doubt is thin... thin like: - The firing of the Anti-corruption US ambassador in #UK Maria #Yovanovitch - A pardon to General #Flynn high treason for the benefit of #Russia
-
“It would be ironic, to say the least, & inimical to the ends furthered by the #statute if the #SpecialCounsel himself could be chilled in his work by fear of arbitrary or #partisan removal,” the judge added.
Dellinger said in an emailed statement that he was grateful to see the court “confirm the importance & legality of the job protections #Congress afforded my position.”#Trump #law #NationalSecurity #authoritarianism #autocracy #democracy #SeparationOfPowers
-
Judge #AmyBermanJackson disagreed, saying in her ruling that the #statute “must stand.” Eliminating the restrictions on Dellinger’s removal, she wrote, “would be fatal to the defining & essential feature of the Office of #SpecialCounsel as it was conceived by #Congress & signed into #law by the President: its #independence.”

Dellinger’s 5-yr term was set to end in 2029.
Lawyers for the #Trump admin argued that Trump has the power to remove Dellinger without cause, saying a 1978 statute passed by Congress in the post-Watergate era that restricts the ability to fire the head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel is unconstitutional.
#law #NationalSecurity #authoritarianism #autocracy #democracy #SeparationOfPowers -
The Office of #SpecialCounsel is unrelated to the special counsels appointed by the #DOJ to handle cases in which the dept faces a potential conflict of interest.
Dellinger, a Senate-confirmed appointee of Pres #Biden, sued the #Trump admin after he received a email in Feb firing him from his role w/o cause. He alleged in court docs that his termination violated a #law that says the president can remove the special counsel only for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.”
-
US Dist Judge #AmyBermanJackson’s ruling blocks the removal of #HamptonDellinger as head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel, which investigates #whistleblower reports filed by #GovernmentWorkers & protects #FederalEmployees from #retaliation, political #coercion & other practices that are barred in the fed workplace.
The #Trump admin has indicated in court filings that it would appeal any such ruling to #SCOTUS, which on Feb 21 declined to intervene until the litigation proceeded further. -
Judge says #Trump cannot fire head of #independent #watchdog agency
The federal judge’s decision blocks Trump from removing #HamptonDellinger as head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel & sets up a likely #SCOTUS battle over the president’s powers.#law #NationalSecurity #authoritarianism #autocracy #democracy #SeparationOfPowers

In one memo, #PamBondi will establish a “Weaponization Working Group” to review #law enforcement actions enacted under the Biden admin for any examples of “politicized justice.”
That review will cover cases brought by fmr #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith over #Trump’s mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & 2020 #ElectionInterference, Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg’s hush-money case that led to a #conviction & a case from NYAG #LetitiaJames, in which she won a $454M civil #fraud judgment against Trump.

In response, the #DOJ asked the #11thCircuit US Court of Appeals in Atl on Tues AM to overturn #AileenCannon’s order.
Acc/to the request, the #SpecialCounsel turned over the report on Tues PM to Garland, who decides what portions of the report should be released publicly.Prosecutors say the report is 2 volumes. One outlines the mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & #obstruction case, & the other details the findings in the DC #ElectionInterference case against #Trump.

The order from #Chutkan puts an end to the federal effort to hold #Trump criminally responsible for his attempts to hold onto #power after losing the #2020election, culminating in the #Jan6, 2021 violent #insurrection at the #US Capitol by a mob of his supporters.
The move came after #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith …moved to dismiss the #ElectionInterference case & end his attempt to revive a separate case accusing Trump of illegally retaining #ClassifiedDocuments when he left office in 2021….

From WaPo:
#SpecialCounsel #JackSmith laid out new evidence to support his assertion that #Trump’s efforts to subvert the results of the #2020election were taken as a private candidate, rather than his ofcl capacity as the president, in a much-anticipated 165-pg filing unsealed Wed that detailed #Trump’s private interactions w/his VP & others.
