Skeptical, crusty old lawyer



When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@shipwreckedcrew So, was Stanley over his head? Why the sudden resignation?







Going to re-thread this on the DNC hack and it's going to be long but important. In 2022 @ProfMJCleveland and I peppered @GeorgiaTech with Open Records requests, and obtained indications that Clinton-connected researchers tied to the Alfa Bank hoax were more involved than known 1/x






EXCLUSIVE: FBI Director Kash Patel Allowing FBI to Bury Seth Rich Case or Does He Even Know What's Happening? joehoft.com/exclusive-fbi-…

Beyond which, Iran surrendered 97% of its enriched uranium and submitted to ongoing, intrusive inspections by experts from the IAEA. Trump could have improved on that deal & held Iran's nuclear program in check. But he saw it as an Obama legacy, so he ripped it up. Like the ACA.

On the balance of probabilities, I don’t think Seth Rich gave WikiLeaks the DNC emails, though I don’t have a firm view and it is also beside the point. The point is that the people now in charge were badly victimized by a generational hoax in which Seth Rich may or may not have played a role. It is absolutely incumbent on them to release everything while they can, because once the hoaxers regain power, it will never happen. The fact that this isn’t being done is staggering, and the only explanation that makes sense is that these institutions remain compromised at least in part by the same people who carried out the original abuses.

Today the FBI filed a motion to quash our discovery requests in the Seth Rich case (i.e., Huddleston v. FBI), and it’s a real cheap shot. The FBI tried to frame it as if we were ignoring previous court orders denying discovery about Seth Rich, but our discovery requests were not targeted at Seth Rich. Instead, they were targeted at the FBI’s overall pattern of hiding documents from FOIA requestors. That distinction is critical, and the FBI knows it. True enough, discovery is typically not allowed in a FOIA case. We’ve never disputed that. But Huddleston v. FBI is not just a standard FOIA case. In 2024, the presiding judge allowed us to file a supplemental complaint, and that complaint had nothing to do with Seth Rich or any other particular FOIA request. Instead, we asked the court to enjoin the FBI from hiding records from FOIA requestors via various schemes and tricks set forth in the supplemental complaint. I’ll file a response to the FBI’s motion, and hopefully this case will start moving faster. On another front, the court largely denied our motion to hold the FBI in contempt for violating its orders to produce records from Seth Rich’s laptops. Instead, the court gave the feds 60 days to explain why they did not produce or account for all of the data on the laptops. That was a disappointing result, but the battle is not over. If you want to know more about what the FBI is trying to hide, you can look at the supplemental complaint, the discovery requests, and the FBI’s motion (links below). I’ve also posted a link to the court’s order denying our motion to hold the FBI in contempt.

I have completed my first draft of the timing of the machine recount in Fulton County, Georgia 2020. I hope you find it useful. Please let me know if you see any issues or errors. All of the ballot images available had a scan date/time stamp and this is what I used to plot the rescanning process. The presentation shows in green, all ballots that were double scanned/counted. Blue is where new ballots were introduced into the count. And orange are the test ballots that were added. The purple section shows where we are missing the ballot images. They're concentrated on a particular set of BMD tabulators. There is also a curious set of ballots scanned on Tabulator 816. Apparently, two of the tabulators had the same ID number, and the second set needed to be rescanned again. This contradicts given testimony from Fulton County, where it was stated that both tabulators were rescanned again.
