There was a lot of discussion of sanctions and contempt as the line attorneys tried to prepare for proceedings without lying to the court. Some things being told to them they knew were flat-out false.

The exhibits reveal massive dysfunction as the line attorneys try to prepare for imminent court proceedings while being stonewalled and misled by higher-ups at DOJ and DHS, and kept in the dark about what was really happening.
The texts and emails absolutely corroborate the whistleblower report, quite exactly. The only lie they reveal is AG Bondi lying that his testimony is “false.” Clearly, it is precisely detailed and beautifully corroborated. Here are some high points.
I’ve reviewed the texts and emails the whistleblower supplied to back up his comprehensive report and warning about Trump administration efforts to defy and ignore court orders.

What does it tell you when a private organization under FOIA is more likely to get information and answers on a judicial nominee than the Senate Judiciary Committee?
CBAM “represents a good deal for the U.S., enabling its steel and aluminum exporters to increase their market share in Europe.” And, as I said in my 300th climate speech, it’s our last climate lifeboat.
Time to wake up — and fight.
Last night, I delivered my 300th Time to Wake Up speech.
We face many hurdles in the climate fight, but we have one major advantage: the facts are on our side.
Oh my God. “Even as Texas rescue crews raced to save lives, Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Search and Rescue teams until more than 72 hours after the flooding began.”
My battered old sign and I are headed to the Senate floor to deliver my 300th “Time to Wake Up” speech.
Tune in at 7 PM on YouTube.
Uh-oh. “What’s happening at the bottom of the world is rippling outward, reshaping weather systems, ocean currents and life on land and sea.” More fossil fuel damage.
Germany, Sweden and Denmark cracking down on proper insurance to transit Danish Straits is a very good step at pinching off Putin’s shadow oil fleet.
The Schemers have much more to fear, and they know it.
As best I can tell, KBJ is being true to herself, true to her oath, and true to her native land. That’s my take, anyway. (P.S. Harlan was alone in dissent, too, and that aged well.)
The far right is undeniably twitchy, because the participants know the Scheme better than anyone. The points Jackson has made so far about patterns and preferences and predisposition likely only touch the surface of a far deeper problem.
If the Emperor has no clothes, and chooses to walk down the Main Street of the city, it may very well be indecorous to call him out as buck naked. But the real wrong in that scenario is in the naked parade down Main Street, not in the call that points the nakedness out.
To rely on another’s “collegiality” to hide one’s own mischief isn’t fair play.
