Propagandist John Solomon reports that Joe DiGenova will be added to DOJ's investigative team undermining RU investigation. Propagandist John Solomon doesn't mention that he was implicated in funneling Russian disinformation with Joe DiGenova. justthenews.com/governmen….
The delays in the Senate come as Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is ramping up resources in Florida and Washington DC to develop the weaponization conspiracy case. The career prosecutor who was running the weaponization probe was sent back to her post this week in Miami, and former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova is set to start Monday as the new lead prosecutor on Russia collusion matters.

DiGenova, a longtime vocal Trump supporter who also did legal work for the president, is a veteran and accomplished federal prosecutor who has worked as a U.S. Attorney in the nation's capital as well as an independent and special counsel in politically sensitive cases.

I'd love to have someone knowledgable describe what % of intel it shares w/Ukraine comes from which sources -- particularly as Congress struggles to pass 702 (tho I imagine what the US shares w/Ukraine is other sources). I'd also like to know source of Sat imagery Z disclosed recently.

Latest in @theatlantic.com The Ukrainians are now longer pretending that Donald Trump's USA is their friend. Their honesty is important as they seem to understand how much Trump is helping Putin and how important it is that Europe stick together. Gift Link. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

One thing not mentioned in this Atlantic oppo piece on Kash Patel is that Andrew Bailey quit a lucrative job in MO, only to serve as a little mentioned babysitter at FBI for (thus far) over 6 months. Bet he's antsy to get a higher profile spot. 🤔 www.theatlantic.com/polit….

As you watch the scandal over Mendelson failing clearance, consider how many people either FAILED (Dan Bongino) or just escaped (Kushner and Witkoff) clearance reviews altogether. No idea whether Kash and his alleged drinking problem was properly reviewed. Kavanaugh was not.

One of them being his controversial, shiny new Cabinet Secretary....

I hope when Kash is eventually fired they DO just lock him out of the FBI systems, bc that obviously is a deep fear of his and he deserves it. www.theatlantic.com/polit….
On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.”

Patel oversees an agency that employs roughly 38,000 people, including many who are trained to investigate and verify information that can be presented under oath in a court of law. News of his emotional outburst ricocheted through the bureau, prompting chatter among officials and, in some corners of the building, expressions of relief. The White House fielded calls from the bureau and from members of Congress asking who was now in charge of the FBI.

Several of MN defendants whose arrested Bondi staged in February complained that she violated sealing orders the govt had asked for. Weds, DOJ moved to dismiss the case in which defendant had moved aggressively for sanctions, Kirubele Adbebe, but not b4 AUSA tried to explain themself.
I understand that at the motions hearing in this matter held on April 14, the
Court had questions regarding the motion to seal in this case. I was not able to attend
the hearing, and the government has since moved to dismiss this case after a more
fulsome review of the additional video evidence not available at the time the
complaint issued, but the Court deserves to have its questions answered, so I write
to supplement the record made at that hearing.
First, the Court and counsel are correct that the claim in the motion to seal
that there were individuals identified in the affidavit apart from Mr. Adbebe was
inaccurate and was a mistake. The motion was drafted with standard language and
I failed to remove this inapplicable provision when editing. I should have more
narrowly tailored the language of the motion to reflect the affidavit. The Court and
Mr. Adbebe were due a much greater degree of care in the preparation of this motion.
This was not done with any intent to mislead the Court; as counsel notes, the affidavit
that was submitted to the Court simultaneously with the motion to seal plainly shows
who is and is not identified. There are issues raised in Mr. Adbebe’s motions in which
I had no input, awareness, or control, but I had control over this, and I take
responsibility for the error.
