The questions that neither Kash Patel nor anyone in his orbit seem willing to actually answer: Did Kash Patel think he’d been fired on April 10? Did he communicate with others about his belief he’d been fired?
Jonathan Gross, who joined the Trump DOJ last year and recently left, is now attacking the "Blanche/Bondi DOJ" as "the real scandal."
If you tell the reporter “print it,” doesn’t that undermine your defamation case?
I observed quite a bit of this trial - and so many long hours were consumed with evidence about how he knowingly put bogus fraud claims into court filings
The bar court decision:

Many people focus on John Eastman’s role in developing the legal plan to overturn the 2020 election via Pence.
But a big reason he got disbarred is actually a series of “patently false and misleading claims” about voter fraud he made to the courts.
With the Trump DOJ moving to vacate the Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy convictions against key members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, it’s worth remembering some of the video and audio evidence presented in their cases.

Interesting to see Ed Martin publicly encourage alleged "Nazi sympathizer" Timothy Hale-Cusanelli.
Just last year, Martin told the Senate of Hale-Cusanelli, "I condemn his comments and views in the strongest terms possible" and appeared to agree he was a "white nationalist."
Proud Boy Joe Biggs also continued to discuss violence, calling the Jan. 6 riot a revolutionary “warning shot.”
In the days after Jan. 6, Oath Keeper founder Stewart Rhodes was recorded talking about additional violence.
Biggs and other Proud Boys celebrated outside
Pezzola recorded himself celebrating inside the Capitol overrun by rioters.
“I knew we could take this motherfucker if we just tried hard enough.”
Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola used a stolen police shield to bash in a Capitol window, allowing the first rioters to breach the building.
Proud Boy Joe Biggs during this early breach of Capitol grounds:
“We’ve gone through every barricade thus far.”
Proud Boys helped whip up the crowd at the first breach of the Capitol grounds, by Peace Circle.
“Fuck them! Storm the Capitol!” yelled Zach Rehl.
On the morning of Jan. 6, a Proud Boy yelled “let’s take the fucking Capitol” before Trump even started speaking.
Shortly after the 2020 election, Oath Keepers were already discussing weapons
With the Trump DOJ moving to vacate the Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy convictions against key members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, it’s worth remembering some of the video and audio evidence presented in their cases.

Team "a historic" btw
Knock down drag out fight with my editor over "a historic" vs. "an historic."
And it's not even 9 a.m.!
Daniel had argued that the Jan. 6 pardon included the child sexual abuse charges, which were uncovered in the course of the Capitol riot investigation.
Both the Trump DOJ and the courts disagreed.
Just in:
Another Jan. 6 defendant pardoned by Trump has agreed to plead guilty to charges of child sexual abuse.
David Daniel, who earlier pleaded guilty to assaulting police on Jan. 6, is now pleading to federal child pornography charges.
One victim was under 12 years old.
Former Jan. 6 defendant Jared Wise, who was hired by the Trump DOJ, says he has resigned:
Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse. n.pr/4rUa1zD
After Trump’s pardon freed him from prison, Jan. 6 rioter Andrew Paul Johnson repeatedly sexually abused two young kids.
“We were scared,” one victim testified.
Johnson tried to buy their silence - promising to share J6 restitution money.
Today, Johnson got life in prison.
