"This is what The Atlantic would say: 'You want to pretend this didn't happen? Great, bring it on. Let's go to court... and let's see what Kash Patel does." @weissmann.substack.com tells @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social why The Atlantic should call Kash Patel’s bluff and push for an immediate trial.

Next in our line-up of dawn chorus singers come the Blackbirds. Carefree, rich, fluted notes, drifting through the trees just as the light grows. A sound loved by many...have you heard one singing this week? 🐦‍⬛ #DawnChorusClub

"What was the false representation to any donor?... There's nothing that is alleged in the indictment about any statement made that is contrary to what happened here." @weissmann.substack.com and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social break down the DOJ lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In my opinion, it is hard to believe that Kash Patel did not know that HQ based agents were seeking to open a criminal case targeting a reporter in which the victim was his girlfriend. Here I am covering the story with Anderson Cooper last night.

Ryan Goodman discusses w/ Andrew Weissmann, fmr FBI General Counsel & DOJ veteran, the complex "three-prong fork in the road" facing lawmakers: reauthorize Section 702, reform it with new warrant requirements, or let it sunset entirely: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnpx... @weissmann.substack.com

I sat down with former FBI General Counsel and DOJ vet, @weissmann.substack.com ew Weissmann to discuss reauthorization of FISA Section 702. A remarkable conversation about how a new warrant system may work, how it might benefit prosecutions of bad actors, and more. Video and transcript:

Your voices have been heard! The vote has been pulled for today. Thousands of calls were placed to urge representatives to vote NO on this pro-extinction bill - HR 1897. This is a massive win for endangered species & wildlife BUT it could come back again so we must keep thr pressure on.

The same Trumpy lawyer, Jesse Binnall, who is suing the Atlantic on Patel's behalf represented Patel in this failed lawsuit against MS Now and Figliuzzi.

4. When Patel announced he was cutting off SPLC, he wrote: “I made it clear that the FBI will never rely on politicized or agenda-driven intelligence from outside groups — and certainly not from the SPLC.” He knows SPLC was providing intelligence on extremist groups but he didn’t say that today.

The only fraud here seems to be on the part of the U.S. on the grand jury and public. Why? Because the indictment advances a bizarre theory- how can anyone think that the Southern Poverty Law Center was doing any of this activity to foment beliefs that are diametrically opposed to its mission?

There's a reason why Meta's employee keylogging plans are only being deployed in the US -- per experts we spoke to, this sort of monitoring would be illegal in much of Europe, where such monitoring is a violation of worker privacy. In the US, most states don't even require notice of surveillance.
