I remember that day. Even at 10 years old, and #Elvis being only a shadow of his former self during my lifetime, his presence (and then absence) was significant. — PolitiTweet.org

I frequently watch #PerryMason, one of the best legal TV series ever made. I'm amazed at how many of the actors who appeared on the show also made guest appearances in the original #StarTrek series. https://t.co/xhiLlkoBW6 — PolitiTweet.org

We haven't had any FBI #whistleblowers come to us for assistance and we'd gladly represent any lawful #WBers who would reveal govt wrongdoing, regardless of political affiliation. — PolitiTweet.org

A clearance is a clearance my friend. You are addressing "need-to-know" which varies for every clearance holder. Why do I need to educate a former Acting DNI on this? And why are you avoiding answer my very clear question about Trump & a standing declassification order? — PolitiTweet.org

7/On July 29, we filed rare injunction to compel @DeptofDefense to provide Lawless w/secure, stand-alone computer upon which to draft his opposing declaration & access to #DoD classified declarations. Oral arguments are scheduled for August 23, 2022. https://t.co/UrVfsNWwLN — PolitiTweet.org

5/Without speculating on whether nuclear info was found at MAL or not, it might be helpful to know where the lines lie with respect to what USG considers "classified" in this arena. Because of a current prepublication review lawsuit I am handling, I can share that information. — PolitiTweet.org

2/At this point, we don't know if this is true or not. The @FBI's property receipt makes no mention of "Restricted Data" or "Formerly Restricted Data", which is usually how nuclear info is referenced. This info is controlled by Atomic Energy Act. https://t.co/WtBMwE3s3j — PolitiTweet.org

This is an easy question to answer for someone who served in such an important position as Acting DNI. It only requires "yes" or "no" response. Yet why is @RichardGrenell avoiding answering the question & instead just responding w/deflection & personal attacks? — PolitiTweet.org

Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq

@RichardGrenell I'm pretty sure you've never been a Judge Richard. Just like neither of us have never been President. But I am a lawyer, unlike you. And I have been recognized judicially as expert on national security, unlike you. How about answering my questions as the expert you say you are? — PolitiTweet.org
