Once Trump passes, will the people who have signed a non-disclosure agreement with him be free to talk?

@preetbharara.bsky.social #AskPreet what happens if Trump just continues with his “military operation” past the 60 days, puts boots on the ground and we are in a war without Congress ever voting on it?

Minnesota official talks about fatal shooting of man by immigration agent NPR's Michel Martin speaks with Bob Jacobson, the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, about the fatal shooting of 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti.

Bob Jacobson, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, said that local law enforcement were denied access to the Pretti crime scene despite having a search warrant.

Shouldn’t they arrest the ICE goons for obstruction?

@preetbharara.bsky.social #askpreet Re: Trump & Insurrection act, if States take Trump to court, the courts would defer to the judgement of POTUS.

Couldn't States argue that POTUS is mentally impaired and not capable of exercising judgement.

Declaring taking over Iceland in Davos is clear proof.

@preetbharara.bsky.social How normal is it that the US attorney overseeing the investigation into the ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minnesota has locked out Minnesota investigators? #AskPreet

@preetbharara.bsky.social I am about to be a senior associate at a BigLaw firm in a corporate transactional practice. In the next administration I would like to join the DOJ and help repair its tarnished reputation. With my background, which departments do you think I could add value to #askpreet

#askpreet Do you think current cabinet members have been advised that, if prosecuted in the future, they will be able to argue that presidential immunity applies to them via doctrines of agency or respondeat superior or something similar? @preetbharara.bsky.social

#askpreet The indictment against Comey was rushed through ahead of the expiration of the statute of limitations. Now that it’s been dismissed with prejudice is the expiration still in place or can DOJ indict again?

@preetbharara.bsky.social #askpreet if ghilane Maxwell is a pardoned for all things associated with sex trafficking. Couldn't that help? Prosecutors? Could they not question her about what happened and she could no longer claim the 5th but they could still charge her with perjury?

@preetbharara.bsky.social You said in the episode with Astead Herndon that Mamdani was considerably further left on some things than you are. I'm genuinely interested in what those things are?

From the other side of the world, he doesn't seem very extreme left. #askpreet

Would you guys consider making this important Q & A segment public, considering the above announcement from DOJ to interfere with #YesOn50 & NJ gubernatorial elections @mikiesherrill.bsky.social

@preetbharara.bsky.social #askPreet An idea for Supreme Court tenure... couldn't we have a system where federal judges rotate onto the Supreme Court for X years, then back to a district position? I believe the military does this with Pentagon service.

#AskPreet @preetbharara.bsky.social, what would happen if the governors of states Trump has threatened with national guard deployment just deploy their national guard themselves first? If the guard are already deployed, can the president federalize anyway? Maybe it'd give the govs more legal weight?

With all the talk about the DOJ's files relating to Epstein, I wondered if much if it might have already been produced to Maxwell as discovery/disclosures in her criminal case. Would be interested in hearing from people knowledgeable about such details. #AskPreet @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

The coincidental timing of the current occupant of the white house, national guard being deployed in DC, Netanyahu overtly killing Aljazeerra journalists, with the summit in Alaska has me worried. Does the timing bother you? #askpreet

Hey Preet. Is it within the power of the president of the United States to give Alaska to another country? Asking for a concerned country. Thanks for all you do.

#AskPreet I wonder if the phrase “The Epstein situation” instead of "The Epstein file” is being deliberately used to obscure the fact that there is a paper trail, as situation alludes to something more vague and less legalistic.

#AskPreet If Trump ordered Hegesth to shoot American citizens, does SCOTUS ruling provide immunity for Trump?

Hegseth obviously receives pardon (as well as any soldier who follows any Trump illegal orders).

Hasn’t SCOTUS created perfect pathway for Germany April 1933? We’re pretty much on track👇🏼

How Barr's Quest to Find Flaws in the Russia Inquiry Unraveled 

The review by John Durham at one point veered into a criminal investigation related to Donald Trump himself, even as it failed to find wrongdoing in the origins of the Russia inquiry.

📸The veteran prosecutor John H. Durham was given the job of determining whether there was any wrongdoing behind the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign's ties to Russia

How Barr's Quest to Find Flaws in the Russia Inquiry Unraveled The review by John Durham at one point veered into a criminal investigation related to Donald Trump himself, even as it failed to find wrongdoing in the origins of the Russia inquiry. 📸The veteran prosecutor John H. Durham was given the job of determining whether there was any wrongdoing behind the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign's ties to Russia

•Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham never disclosed that their inquiry expanded in the fall of 2019, based on a tip from Italian officials, to include a criminal investigation into suspicious financial dealings related to Mr. Trump. The specifics of the tip and how they handled the investigation remain unclear, but Mr. Durham brought no charges over it.

•Mr. Durham used Russian intelligence memos — suspected by other U.S. officials of containing disinformation — to gain access to emails of an aide to George Soros, the financier and philanthropist who is a favorite target of the American right and Russian state media. Mr. Durham used grand jury powers to keep pursuing the emails even after a judge twice rejected his request for access to them. The emails yielded no evidence that Mr. Durham has cited in any case he pursued.

•There were deeper internal fractures on the Durham team than previously known. The publicly unexplained resignation in 2020 of his No. 2 and longtime aide, Nora R. Dannehy, was the culmination of a series of disputes between them over prosecutorial ethics. A year later, two more prosecutors strongly objected to plans to indict a lawyer with ties to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign based on evidence they warned was too flimsy, and one left the team in protest of Mr. Durham’s decision to proceed anyway. (A jury swiftly acquitted the lawyer.)

Now, as Mr. Durham works on a final report, the interviews by The Times provide new details of how he and Mr. Barr sought to recast the scrutiny of the 2016 Trump campaign’s myriad if murky links to Russia as unjustified and itself a crime.

Mr. Barr, Mr. Durham and Ms. Dannehy declined to comment. The current and former officials who discussed the investigation all spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the legal, political and intelligence sensitivities surrounding the topic.

Any news on the SC Durham inquiry which “expanded in the fall of 2019, based on a tip from Italian officials, to include a criminal investigation into suspicious financial dealings related to Trump” which Bill Barr personally directed to conduct (reportedly)?

It’s nearly eight years since you started the podcast and, unfortunately, much of this time the lead story has been Trump. What topics do you find most interesting, and what do you cover because your audience wants to hear about them? #AskPreet

@preetbharara.bsky.social Not really a question, but what are your thoughts - Our country wouldn't be in this situation if we didn't have two systems of justice, one for rich & powerful and one for the plebs.

SCOTUS Clears the Way for Trump’s Lawlessness | Crooked Media

Why didn’t Roberts just rule on ? of 14th Amendment? does he want Trump as a King. Why? Amy Coney Barrett used a 1776 British Chancery Crt ruling to invalidate “Nationwide Injunctions”. Why this pseudo conservative history? DANGER #askpreet #14thAmendment #DueProcess

US law seems to be quite "open to interpretation" at the moment. Practically, are contracts between non-US individuals and a US entity ... enforceable? #AskPreet @preetbharara.bsky.social

What is the history of appeals to rulings by the U.S. Court of International Trade? Do all appeals go to the Second Circuit? When is the last time an appeal went all the way to SCOTUS? #askpreet
