Holy shit. This is inside the Tennessee Capitol as Republicans continue silencing Justin Jones & refusing to take action on gun violence. Gen Z is paying attention, making their voices heard, & not backing down. The South is changing for the better — & it’s because of Gen Z.

Just left the House Chamber after Speaker Sexton forced a vote to silence me for the remainder of the legislative day (for speaking “off topic”) and ordered the public cleared out of the gallery.

This is the authoritarianism we are fighting against.

This GOP official's quote of Trump's actions shortly after the November election continues to be an all timer

This is witness tampering & obstruction of justice. Trump indicates he knows a witness is about to testify before the grand jury, & he states - unequivocally and directly - “he shouldn’t.” He just told the witness ‘he SHOULD NOT TESTIFY.’ I expect we’ll see these crimes charged.

A felon who was pardoned by Trump. QED.

Hysterical

But how, even after the government selectively marks certain materials as sensitive, as Trump proposes, is he supposed to know which portions are, in fact, sensitive? Or does he think that should be his call too? FIN.

Finally, even as to those documents Trump agrees are sensitive, he doesn't want to them under seal if and when he quotes them in briefs. Instead, he proposes including 'Sensitive Materials in any public filing without Leave of Court if all sensitive information is redacted.' 8/

Why? Because those with truly valuable truths to tell are usually not strangers to the government. Often, they will have proffered or met with the government before testifying before the grand jury; in other cases, they may never have even been called before a grand jury. 7/

But it's more than timing. A protective order that allows Trump to reveal the identity of witnesses and discuss the substance of their statements outside the grand jury could 1) prejudice potential jurors; and 2) intimidate, if not endanger, some of the most helpful witnesses. 6/

At the very least, as one of my colleagues noted, that would create yet another mechanism to slow things down. And delay is always Trump's first rule of litigation. 5/

By limiting protection to those materials that implicate 'confidential sources' or would 'jeopardize witness security,' Trump would force the Special Counsel to first identify and then fight over which materials do and don't qualify for confidential treatment at this stage. 4/

Yes, Trump instead floats treating 'information regarding the government's confidential sources or which may jeopardize witness security' as sensitive. But he wouldn't treat witness transcripts, recordings, & interview reports as automatically sensitive. Ask yourself why. 3/

That would theoretically allow him to reveal the names and publish the statements of those who spoke to DOJ/the Special Counsel *outside the grand jury* and/or could be cooperating. 2/

The most important thing to know about Trump's opposition to the government's proposed protective order is this: He wants the freedom to disclose witness interviews, recordings, etc. conducted outside the grand jury. 1/

This is why certain varieties of Honey cost so much.

This is one of the most profound videos I’ve filmed since the rise of Trump. I asked him why he was there. Tears rolled down his cheeks. His father who was a WWII veteran (like my dad) told him “We gotta stop this guy”. He was a squadron commander and he lost 110 men and he never…

There’s a “unique toxicity” unfolding in the House amid “misogynistic vulgarity” and “protests” in recent weeks.

Now, Scott MacFarlane says an unlikely pair of Reps. are working together to ease the tension. cbsn.ws/47ld1v2
