Also Illinois’ and Chicago’s response briefs to Trump’s emergency SCOTUS appeal are due the same day. We could have a decision on that one by Tuesday. I predict SCOTUS refuses to lift the stay and refuses to hear the appeal. If they do hear the appeal Trump will lose 7-2 with the two Nazis voting in his favor

I don't think Trump wins any conservatives for the simple fact that the states themselves oppose this. Virtually every statute we have on this seems to assume that if the POTUS is commanding the National Guard within a state, the governor of that state has asked for help. No one in Congress ever imagined a scenario where the governor is saying "we don't need help" but the POTUS is deploying the NG in that state

7th Circuit: “Political opposition is not rebellion. Also, Trump is a tool and nobody respects him. We vote 3-0 to affirm.”

Motions look pretty solid to me. With the January trial date looming we could get a very quick dismissal

I think he's guilty by how difficult the actual paragraph refuting the facts is to parse.

It seems to me he's arguing that - even though Cruz in that line of questioning asks if Comey ever authorized leaks about Trump - Comey's response was that he stands by his statements in 2017 - but those 2017 statements were about leaks about Hilary

It seems like Comey is sort of ceding that he authorized leaks about Trump, but is arguing in the Cruz exchange that he never lied about it, because he just spoke in riddles that actually referred to Hillary.

Is that right?

---------

The indictment focuses on testimony that Mr. Comey gave in response to questioning by

Senator Ted Cruz at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Crossfire Hurricane

investigation. See Oversight of the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation: Day 3, Hearing Before

the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, 116th Cong. (Sept. 30, 2020), During that hearing, Senator Cruz described how, during 2017 testimony before the Senate

Judiciary Committee, Mr. Comey had denied “ever authoriz[ing] someone else at the FBI to be

an anonymous source in news reports about the Trump investigation or the Clinton

Administration.” Excerpt of Transcript of Oversight of the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation:

Day 3, Hearing Before the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, 116th Cong., at 11 (Sept. 30 2020) (“Crossfire Hurricane Oversight Transcript”), Exhibit C. Senator Cruz then asserted that

Andrew McCabe, who previously served as Mr. Comey’s Deputy Director of the FBI, “publicly

and repeatedly stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal and that [Mr. Comey

was] directly aware of it, and that [Mr. Comey] directly authorized it.” Id.

Senator Cruz asked Mr. Comey “[w]ho’s telling the truth?” Mr. Comey responded: “I

can only speak to my testimony,” and “I stand by . . . the testimony you summarized that I gave

in May of 2017.” Id. Senator Cruz followed up by asking: “So, your testimony is you’ve never

authorized anyone to leak. And Mr. McCabe when if he says contrary, is not telling the truth, is

that correct?” Id. In response, Mr. Comey stated: “Again, I’m not going to characterize

[McCabe’s] testimony, but mine is the same today.” Id.

The indictment misstates the exchange between Senator Cruz and Mr. Comey. Senator

Cruz asked Mr. Comey to affirm or deny prior testimony that he authorized “someone else at the

FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports about . . . the Clinton Administration.” But

Hillary Clinton was not elected, and Senator Grassley’s original questioning in 2017 related to

the “Clinton investigation.” See FBI Oversight Transcript at 5, Exhibit B. The indictment

nonetheless mischaracterizes Mr. Comey as stating that he “had not ‘authorized someone else at

the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports’ regarding an FBI investigation concerning

PERSON 1,” ECF No. 1 at 1 (emphasis added). Thus, the indictment replaces Senator Cruz’s

reference to the “Clinton Administration” with a reference to “PERSON 1” (Hillary Clinton) and

misleadingly attributes statements to Mr. Comey that he did not in fact make during his

September 30, 2020, testimony.

8

Further, the indictment omits Senator Cruz’s words that explicitly narrow the focus of his questions to Mr. McCabe and misleadingly implies that the questioning related to Mr. Richman.

In fact, Mr. Comey’s September 2020 exchange with Senator Cruz made no reference

whatsoever to Mr. Richman, who ultimately appears in the indictment as PERSON 3. Instead,

the context of the exchange confirms that Senator Cruz was asking about leaks by Mr.

McCabe—indeed, Senator Cruz asked Mr. Comey whether he or Mr. McCabe was “telling the

truth.” In other words, the indictment presents an inaccurate description of the testimony at the

heart of this case.
