  6. Wow, #Jack Smith -what a person -what a prosecutor -what a #specialcounsel - watch his interview with #NicolleWallace fron July 2—— and your reminder- #ChrisWray is nooooo good guy. Smith doesn’t come out and say it, but when Nicolle asked him about Wray, he says “ I don’t want to comment on that. I want to lift up the people who did the right thing.” 😳

  9. #AileenCannon followed #ClarenceThomas' ruling earlier that month in #Trump v. USA. She ruled a key piece of U.S. v #Nixon was non-binding; nevermind all the #SupremeCourt #precedent in appointing #SpecialCounsel! Boldface #partisan, just like #SCotUS...
    And #MerrickGarland ROLLED OVER & *observed norms*, did not ask for reassignment. What a crock these Dems are, fiddling while the GOP sets fire to the rule of law.

  11. @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

  13. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. #DJT uses #DOJ HQ as a makeshift #Drumpf rally stage today in front of top US #LawEnforcement officials. #PamBondi intro's him with personal note that dept's sworn officers "will never stop fighting for him". President ranted into the mic today referring to dept lawyers that previously targeted his criminality as the "Department of Injustice". He spent his time inside the Robert F. Kennedy bldg addressing his personal #attorneys who are now the dept's leadership, lambasting #disloyal media figures as "scum" whose comments should be "illegal".

    "During a tirade against the #FBI, the president touted his actions to revoke security clearances for those who had investigated him and the removal of FBI agents associated with Jan. 6 investigations" then he falsely claimed that the prices of gasoline and #eggs have fallen, when anyone buying them knows they have not.

    He referred to investigators behind previous #SpecialCounsel #RussiaInvestigation as "violent" and ended on a note referencing the pullout of troops out of #Afghanistan that "the people who did this to us should go to jail, they should go to jail. So, I just want to say, God bless America because we have to say #GodBless. We're lucky we're still here."

  21. 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.

  22. 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.

  23. 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

  24. “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

  25. 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.”

    #NationalSecurity #authoritarianism #autocracy #democracy #SeparationOfPowers

  26. 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

  27. 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.”

  28. 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.
