Both Trump and DeSantis are making claims that Republicans are being “persecuted” by #USDOJ. This is an incredibly dangerous claim to make, because if “remedied” the way DeSantis is talking, it would effectively place GOP elected officials above the law.

We’ve seen this script play out before as Rome moved from Republic to Empire … it wasn’t pretty. #uspoli

Woke up to some interesting news today. It would appear that the #HiveRansomware Gang has been taken down. https://www.scmagazine.com/analysis/ransomware/notice-on-hive-ransomware-site-claims-seizure-by-fbi-europol?external_id=HBwZ-n4B490LDY0Z-dKj&external_id_source=mrkto&mkt_tok=MTg4LVVOWi02NjAAAAGJjgDjxI7Quxnvn1dDKVtkFHU7zdk93j0TL7ocD2SwuAAcr1k2YbWxSGv7tfEHn6GOvCcebcAwc3X5co3AlFFNixo9Hty9BWX4VsvTCEiG_Q

I checked around some #DarkWeb forums, and it would appear this actually happened in a joint, international effort. The #USDOJ claims to have "hacked the hackers", took down their #TOR site, and have apparently #decrypted 1500 companies. If it sticks, this is a big win for the #GoodGuys. Bye bye #Hive!

If one does a heroic deed but tells no one, did it happen at all? I don't know, but I decided to err on the side of caution and use my website to tell everyone about how I heroically sent a broken link report regarding the Immigration Court Practice Manual to the U.S. DOJ Webmaster.

(All jokes aside - I was impressed with how easy it was to file the report)

The Justice Department’s announcement earlier this week that it had taken custody of the third person to be charged in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 is the latest in 34 years of U.S. actions to prosecute the perpetrators, hold the Libyan government accountable, and secure compensation for the victims.

If the #USDOJ chooses to indict Trump in connection with his alleged unlawful possession of classified documents, it is likely to have the legal basis to bring charges in D.C.; however, policy considerations may counsel otherwise.

Attorney General Merrick Garland had an alternate path before him, an option with a successful track record that would have afforded a special counsel greater autonomy.

Before Wednesday’s oral arguments in Blassingame v. Trump debate the scope of presidential immunity, here’s a preview of the case as well as the arguments from each side.

Last week, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling in the amusingly captioned case Trump v. United States of America. The three-judge panel vacated District Judge Cannon's order appointing a special master to review the material seized at #MarALago by the #USDOJ, and it ruled in scathing language that she had no authority to entertain the case at all.

@benjaminwittes talks it over with Natalie Orpett and @ScottRAnderson on The Lawfare #Podcast: https://www.lawfareblog.com/lawfare-podcast-11th-circuit-mar-lago-debrief

Will #USDOJ ever charge Elliott Abrams for orchestrating the refugee-luring and human trafficking scheme miscredited to DeSantis & Gregg — a criminal tactic enriching those two stooges along with fellow-parasite Marco Rubio, in Abrams' larger strategy to destabilize Venezuela and crush democracy throughout the hemisphere? Nope.

We are going to end up jailing a few yahoos in tricorn hats and nazi tattoos, but nobody is ever going to be held responsible for the January 6 Putsch because we're too damn scared.

I give up. Moral of the story: accumulate enough money and threaten enough people and you’re above the law. Always.
