Beyond that, the whole “bringing Musk in" is a distraction from the fact that *it shouldn't have been on Signal in the first place*.

Who "fucked up" is irrelevant — they're all de jure culpable.

It's the same gameplay we saw with #Trump's #ClassifiedDocuments. Focus on something that they think can be argued rather than the fundamental crime.

The handling of #classifieddocuments at #MaraLago became the subject of a federal investigation when the President was out of office: ...
WIRED has also reported that business leaders could secure a one-on-one meeting with #Trump for $5 million at Mar-a-Lago. The $5 million meetings have become a “hot ticket” in the business community, a source familiar with them previously told WIRED."

I paid attention, and complained about #Biden's #virtueSignaling in choosing #Garland ever since. You obviously didn't read reports of how Biden knee-capped Garland, despite link above 🙄

#US made a mistake letting #Nixon go. Biden repeated by saying he preferred #unity over #investigation.

Don't even get me started on how they did a #prettyPlease in the #classifiedDocuments case, and once they had an airtight case, went to #Florida instead of #DC, where the crime was committed

#Trump also named Alabama GOP Sen #TommyTuberville, founder of conservative network Turning Point USA #CharlieKirk, & fmr dpty #NationalSecurity adviser Dina Powell, among others, to the Air Force’s board of visitors.

Trump confirmed MT Sen Tim Sheehy; fmr WH PressSec #SeanSpicer; fmr WH physician Rep #RonnyJackson (R-TX); & Trump’s body man #WaltNauta, who was federally indicted w/Trump in the #ClassifiedDocuments case, will sit on the Naval Academy’s board of visitors.

Continued thread

As he assailed the investigations into him, #Trump also heaped praise on #AileenCannon, the federal judge he appointed in Florida who dismissed the #criminal charges against him for mishandling #ClassifiedDocuments, calling her “the absolute model of what a judge should be.” [not that the 11th circuit repeatedly had to correct her judgments or anything 🙄]

“The case against me was bullshit,” Trump said keeping it classy, standing in the building where the charges were approved.

“As a result of *those actions*, we’re now going to be suspending & putting under review #security clearances for employees at that firm & holding people responsible,” Scharf said.
[doing their jobs]

#Trump quipped that they would call the memo the “deranged Jack Smith signing,” invoking a pejorative he has frequently used to attack the former special counsel.

#Trump on Tues signed a memo suspending #security clearances for employees at a #law firm who assisted w/fmr special counsel #JackSmith’s investigation into the now-president.

WH staff secy Will Scharf said…that the memo targeted Washington, DC based law firm Covington & Burling, which provided pro bono #legal services to Smith in his probes of Trump that resulted in 2 #criminal indictments.

#EmilBove represented #Trump throughout his #criminal #ElectionInterference case & his #ClassifiedDocuments case & has since ordered retaliatory actions against those who worked on the other side of those cases. #EdMartin represented a defendant in a #Jan6 case, personally attended the Capitol riot on Jan 6 & has expressed support for the #OathKeepers militia group. At Trump’s direction, he has now dismissed all of those cases….

Sergio Gor, the director of the White House's Presidential Personnel Office, announced the dismissal of the #archivist, at #Trump's direction, on X. "We thank Colleen Shogan for her service," Gor said.

Shogan, who was not in office when the #ClassifiedDocuments investigation began, said on LinkedIn that Trump had fired her without citing a reason or cause. "I have zero regrets - I absolutely did my best every day for the National Archives & the American people," she wrote.
