Well that's the mother of all mike drops.

Special bonus: for the first time I recall seeing, men are going after a guy for mansplaining.
John Q. Barrett ‪@johnqbarrett.bsky.social‬ Follow Respectfully, are you a lawyer? You’re over-reading the elements of the statutes, plus making jury/not guilty arguments. Only probable cause, not guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, is required to charge. The FBI affidavit has that regarding the statutory elements.

Can you explain to me where the judge issued a threat? Or a letter? Or corruptly engaged in a practice? Is your argument that those are not elements of the offense? 2 5 231 ‪Courtney Milan‬ ‪@courtneymilan.com‬ · 5h Because no, there is not probably cause of the person has not engaged in one of the listed elements of the offense. 1 168 ‪Courtney Milan‬ ‪@courtneymilan.com‬ · 5h And I clerked for Sandra Day O’Connor.

Judge Alsup just said this👇 to the Justice Department about their refusal to let Charles Ezell testify about his (highly dubious) declaration that OPM did not illegally direct mass firings.
You will not bring the people in here to be cross-examined. You’re afraid to do so because you know cross-examination would reveal the truth. This is the U.S. District Court. Whenever you submit declarations, those people should be submitted to the cross-examination, just like the plaintiffs’ side should be. Then we get at the truth of what’s actually true. I tend to doubt that you’re telling me the truth whenever we hear all the evidence eventually. Why can’t you bring your people in to be cross-examined or deposed at their convenience? I said two hours for Mr. Ezell. A deposition at his convenience. And you withdrew his declaration rather than do that? Come on. That’s a sham. It upsets me, I want you to know that. I’ve been practicing in this court for over 50 years and I know how we get at the truth. And you’re not helping me get at the truth. You’re giving me press releases, sham documents. I’m getting mad.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
