Bite me, Musk. Progressive political commentator (print, radio, podcasts) for years. I post a lot: breaking news + legit info you can use, prone to snark. My mini Australian Labradoodle, Hamilton, has trained me well.

The point... it's not JUST that Ken Chesebro was present at the attack.

It's that HIS OWN ROLE had a tie to Alex Jones' role, which was to bring bodies to former Alex Jones' employee Joe Biggs and then move them where they were useful.

lol.. womp womp

"NY state judge ordered Rudy #Giuliani to stop stalling with excuses & produce electronic evidence to the voting technology company Smartmatic within 2 weeks...

“‘The dog ate my homework.’ ‘I have to wash my hair.’ ‘I can’t go out, I’m sick.’ Since the dawn of time, people have made up excuses to avoid doing things they do not want to do. This is exactly what Giuliani has done here,” Smartmatic wrote in its motion for an order to show cause" #legal https://www.courthousenews.com/close-to-broke-giuliani-cant-dodge-discovery-in-smartmatic-defamation-suit/

Let me explain #Twitter release.

1st, request to Twitter for #Trump's acct was BOILERPLATE..not much diff from gagged requests Twitter made for Roger Stone's in 2018, except they also needed subscriber data.

DOJ asks for that from EVERYONE.

In their private conversations, THEY LAUGH at how easy it is to get people who imagine themselves to be journalists to spread fascist content.

You're calling them stupid and all the while you're being manipulated to serve fascism.

Former #Trump chief of staff Mark #Meadows is seeking to remove his charges in the #Georgia case to federal court, where he plans to ask a judge to dismiss the case.

Trump's word-slaw droppings that he'll be bellowing to his diminishing audience on Monday... first of all, what you're all thinking, so I don't need to say it.

But also, I really want someone to #ChutkanHim immediately afterwards. He's doing all he can to rile his base, get donations from said idiot base, push buttons, get away with his usual line-crossing. Now he can & should be legally stopped.

It was a "sample working document" that was used for a "trial run," and, well, oops ensued.

Via Anna Bower:

Yesterday, Reuters obtained a docket report on the Fulton County clerk’s website that appeared to detail charges against #Trump.

After initially calling the docket report “fictitious,” the clerk’s office has released a statement explaining what happened. #TrumpIndictment #Georgia

MSNBC: TRUMP HAS BEEN CRIMINALLY INDICTED (along with several others), UPDATE ON DOCKET. VIA MADDOW.

Hillary is on with Maddow, laughing at the timing of her segment. #TrumpIndictment

“I don’t feel any satisfaction, just great profound sadness.. former pres. Indicted for so many charges… at heart of whether democracy will survive.”

2/ More from Blayne Alexander:

NEW/SCOOP: a source with knowledge of proceedings tells me the Fulton DA’s office is hoping to wrap up this process tonight.

Witness 7 is on the stand. I’m also told the grand jury MAY NOT hear from all 10 witnesses before voting.

#DOJ is fighting an effort from #Trump’s legal team to reestablish a secure facility in Mar-a-Lago, arguing he would be “the only defendant ever” in a classified #documents case to review evidence in their home.

“Creating a secure location in Trump’s residence — which is also a social club — so he can discuss classified information would be an unnecessary and unjustified accommodation that deviates from the normal course of cases involving classified discovery” #legal

Via Anna Bower, who rocks:

The grand jury is still hearing testimony.

The journalists are still starving.

The court deputy swapped his suit for gym shorts.

Judge McBurney poked his head in the room to ask how we’re all doing.

“Hang in there,” he said. “I’m doing the same.”

Geoff Duncan has completed his testimony and left the building.

At least 2 more witnesses to go (Chidi and another witness). #Georgia #TrumpIndictment #legal

2/ Via Stephen Fowler:

Judge McBurney just popped in the courtroom and basically said to deputies he’s just waiting around and there’s one more thing, so it’s possible it could be later tonight we actually get indictments.

It appears some witnesses are still with the grand jury; no clue on timing.

UPDATE via Kyle Griffin:

#Fulton County grand jury is STILL hearing from witness #5. They were hearing from witness #5 more than two hours ago. That's five out of an expected 10 witnesses.

The oral argument for Steve #Bannon's appeal will be October 12, almost 2 years after he blew off a J6C subpoena, and almost a year after he was sentenced to 4 months in prison. #legal #Jan6

Via Stephen fowler:

New - the clerk’s office calls the documents posted by Reuters today “fictitious” and reminds people that only official stamped copies of indictments are official.

(But it appears perhaps a prebuilt case for future indictments might have accidentally been posted prematurely) #Georgia #TrumpIndictment

📌 📌 👀 Via Acyn, per MSNBC:

“We just got word from inside of the courtroom that the judge urged the reporters in the room to go grab dinner suggesting this is going to go beyond the 5:00 P.M. deadline..”
