🚨THREAD: SCOTUS RULING ON TEMPORARY INJUNCTION IN MISSOURI V. BIDEN (Murthy v. Missouri @SCOTUS) https://t.co/XICS94KKZR
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I want to make sure this is clear from the get - this is a terrible opinion. I am not happy about it. HOWEVER, this opinion had to do with the TEMPORARY INJUNCTION in this case. For details, please see my pinned tweet. The court is making a decision whether at this stage of the game, after limited (will get to that in a moment) discovery, the Plaintiffs have the right to an injunction that would halt the government from coercing and cooperating with social media platforms to censor speech.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The justices used whether the plaintiffs had STANDING at this stage of the game as their basis for decision. Which I ALSO think is utter nonsense. When this case went before them, they placed a stay on the injunction that was decided in the lower district court AND the 5th circuit court of appeals.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
We can get into the future later on in the thread - but to note: when the stay was placed on the temporary injunction, three justices DISSENTED stating their colleagues hadn’t read the record. I believe that still to be the case. I believe the justices made this decision based on the oral argument. The oral argument was POOR.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here is some of the meat from the syllabus. “Neither the individual or the state plaintiffs have established Article III Standing to seek an injunction against any defendant” The SCOTUS is saying at this stage, the plaintiffs must show the substantial risk that in the near future, at least one platform will restrict the speech of at least one plaintiff in response to the actions of at least one government defendant. “Here, at the preliminary injunction stage, they must show that they are likely to succeed in carrying that burden. On the record in this case that is a tall order”
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I disagree. The record is FULL of instances that demonstrate the potential for future harm, and also for past harm. I don’t believe the justices read the record. There just isn’t a way to come to this decision, had they. This is why the oral argument was so important. Three of the justices WARNED that the oral argument would be important.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The more I read, the worse it gets. This is the same sort of obscure nonsense that allows the government to get away with the large majority of censorship they have done so far, however even in discovery SO FAR, they have concrete coercion. SCOTUS believes that Plaintiff Jill Hines has the best chance at proving harm, but they also say that self censorship can’t be weighed here - standing can’t be obtained by “manufacturing harm” against themselves that doesn’t equate to a real injury. And again, the SCOTUS punts “without evidence of continued pressure by defendants, the platforms remain free to enforce, or not to enforce their policies against COVID-19 misinformation..” This, even as the record shows that platforms CRAFTED THEIR POLICY based on government intervention.. Bad. Bad. Bad.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
On the “right to listen” the court says Plaintiffs haven’t identified a particular speaker they have not been able to hear from. This is one reason why a class certification would have gone a LONG way in this case. One was sought at lower, and denied. https://t.co/744nKHBPiw
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here SCOTS is outlining each department and the actions they took. If what I highlighted isn’t coercion, we have different definitions. This is almost embarrassing. The SCOTUS leans heavily on what the platforms did on their own, but does not take into account the record in the case.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The SCOTUS will not address whether coercion happened. They punt. On standing issues. Read carefully “At this stage, neither the individual nor the state plaintiffs have established standing to seek an injunction against any defendant. We therefore lack jurisdiction to reach the merits of the dispute.” Basically, more discovery is needed, as per SCOTUS, and as I am reading ahead I can say with certainty that this case will end up in front of SCOTUS once again.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here the SCOTUS almost tells the Plaintiffs they should have been suing for their past harms rather than harms they will experience in the future. Because they are looking for relief from FUTURE harm, the past injury can only be used in a predictive nature… https://t.co/FoJ1xOGbbx
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Toni Lahren and Tucker Carlson suffered DIRECT harm from censorship via government coercion. The government said to social media platforms “remove this” and the platforms DID. They aren’t plaintiffs… Do we see why this will become a problem? The standard for injury the SCOTUS is requiring at this stage is VERY difficult to “prove” even though it really is proven. Will more discovery bring more of this evidence? I believe it will. But at this stage, with LIMITED discovery, we haven’t gotten this precise of a piece of evidence just yet. I’d make the case that the closes we have are @DrJBhattacharya and potentially (enjoined) plaintiff @RobertKennedyJr - Additionally, SCOTUS keeps saying discovery was extensive. It was not.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is going to be an insanely tough bar to meet. Can Plaintiffs meet this standard? I believe with more discovery they may be able to. But holy hell, SCOTUS. “You are going to need to prove for every allegation that the government coerced Twitter to censor you before they had ever censored you before…” Come on.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The record in Missouri v. Biden shows the link between the government and the NGO’s. The Justices needed only to read the transcript of the hearing at the district court for the preliminary injunction. They clearly did not. There is a separate case pending in Justice Doughty’s court regarding the EIP.

@HealthFreedomLA We clearly have justices on the court that are absolutely clueless… https://t.co/cyHxAKXM0m
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It’s all about standing for this decision ON THE INJUNCTION - whether or not plaintiffs can show future harm is possible. This is the standard SCOTUS is laying out, and instruction manual for the government on how they can get away with censorship via coercion. https://t.co/jMrTRqkWPo
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
“We reverse the judgement of the Fifth Circuit and remand the case for FURTHER PROCEEDINGS consistent with this opinion…” THE CASE WAS NOT “overturned.” The case was not “dismissed.” The case, and its discovery will continue. NOW - TO THE DISSENT. https://t.co/KMzyH3uDCz

Alito: “Officials who read today’s decision together with Vullo will get the message. If a coercive campaign is carried out with enough sophistication, it may get by…” “What the officials did in this case was more subtle than the Han-handed censorship found to be unconstitutional in Villa, but it was no less coercive. And because of the perpetrators high positions, it was even more dangerous. It was blatantly unconstitutional, and the country may come to regret the Court’s failure to say so…”
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Alito notes the difference between newspapers and social media, stating that Section 230 is under the hands of the government and can be used as a cudgel. https://t.co/uftHV8JXJN

🟣The Gateway Experience: How the CIA and US Military Explore Human Consciousness. Part I: Background. You'll want to read and share this thread. Every single human being on this earth can do what is discussed here.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
*Disclaimer: The information in this thread is BEGINNER level. I am WELL aware of the level of information available and its applications. Only some things will be covered here; don't assume I am unaware of it if it isn't.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The Gateway Experience was a series of recordings created by Robert Monroe. They were used to train human consciousness to do things we have all been told are impossible. We will discuss the program in detail in the subsequent parts. For now, many need the basics of *how.*
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
1. What is consciousness? You actually can’t find a real explanation or definition. You could read for thousands of hours all different theories, and truthfully, at the end of the day, science doesn’t know. Philosophers ponder, psychiatrists meander, and anesthesiologists are particularly keen on understanding it but don’t. You cannot go inside the human brain and point to a place where “consciousness” happens.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
You cannot find a series of brain systems responsible for producing emotions or feelings. Yet, our consciousness is the most powerful thing on the planet. It’s essential because our consciousness shapes our entire reality. No one can explain it definitively. We are precisely where we were hundreds and thousands of years ago, although one group is studying it more and more.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
2. Who is studying human consciousness right now? In short, almost everyone - but more specifically, neuroscientists and psychologists. Philosophers and biologists. Quantum mechanics and Quantum theory. Physicists. Almost every discipline is finally starting to try to figure out what really makes humans human. I don't think they ever will.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here are several links to articles. I endorse no opinion in them, and like a specific body part, everyone has one. 1. Understanding Consciousness Is Key to Unlocking Secrets of the Universe | Scientific American: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/understanding-consciousness-is-key-to-unlocking-secrets-of-the-universe/ 2.

@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Ok, so we all have consciousness - but how powerful is it? When researching all of this (as a hobby) over the past number of years, the thing I always pondered was something called the Observer Effect. It's falls within Quantum Mechanics. https://www.scienceabc.com/pure-sciences/observer-effect-quantum-mechanics.html
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Basically, the Observer Effect means that certain particles only when observed by humans, will change how they act. From the link above: "When you observe something in the world—a tree, a bird or anything else—you know that regardless of where and when you observe the object, it will always remain the same. However, what if I told you that the time and manner you looked at a particular bird would affect its appearance? It sounds quite absurd, but absurdity is normal when it comes to the bizarre laws of the quantum realm. The laws of quantum mechanics work very differently than the physics of the regular-sized world."
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Observation affects Reality. YES. You read that correctly. Particles act differently depending on the OBSERVATION of them. Let it sink in for a second. There is a lot to learn here.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
EVERYTHING IS ENERGY. At its core, literally every single thing is energy. The particles in the desk you are sitting at are energy – the lamp on it is energy, and the door frame is energy. Your body is energy. Every heartbeat, thought, breath, and movement is energy.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Your cells? Full of energy. Your words? Immense energy. No, this isn’t “woo-woo” its science. Place all of your preconceived notions aside for this exercise. You’ll need to understand how this works. Here is a short video to help. (LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9pPjASnnxw)
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
If everything in the universe we could observe is directly affected by that observation, how powerful are we, really? What could we do with the concept to change the world around us in beneficial ways? Why is discussing this considered "crazy?"
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
3. What is sound? Let’s move past the absolutely insane world of quantum mechanics, physics, and theory to another more tangible concept. Sound. What is sound?
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Sound is energy, like most everything else in the universe. Sound moves at certain frequencies in certain wave patterns, and then the human ear perceives those wave patterns and your consciousness, body, and physiology react to those wavelengths. Another video. (LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24yESm63tSY&t=61s)
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration - Nikola Tesla I've played this on the show before but check out this fascinating video to observe how sound impacts matter. (LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3oItpVa9fs)
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Sound is critical to the life of many species on the planet and can significantly affect them, including humans. Different species can pick up frequencies of sound. Sound affects all matter when sound waves interact with the matter, similar to human observation.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
There is an entire rabbit hole when it comes to sound; obviously, some sound waves and frequencies are more pleasing to the human than others. For example, decades ago, in the 1940s, it was decided to change the tuning of “A4” to 440hz rather than 432hz, an action some say negatively affected human beings all over the planet.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
We are getting deep here, but essentially, tuning to 432hz (or the frequency at which the wave travels) eliminates the decimals and lets each note land on a nice even integer – whereas, at 440, 441, or even 444hz, humans will innately perceive discord with the frequency because of the lack of integer roundness in hz. Stick with me.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Is it true? You can read here for some basics, and I do not endorse any conclusion. Tuning Standards Explained: Differences between 432 Hz vs 440 Hz https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/tuning-standards-explained.html
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Well, science has studied the importance of sound in many different aspects. So have police forces and governments. Here is where we start to understand the importance of sound for the topic we are discussing. Many countries use sound as a weapon. https://lethalindisguise.org/crowd-control-weapons/acoustic-weapons/#:~:text=Acoustic%20or%20sonic%20weapons%20
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Many countries also use energy as a weapon. There are hundreds of studies of the effects of sound on the human body, and sound is also used for healing. Funny, the stories about sound as a healing modality are usually dismissed as woo-woo or “new age,” yet the stories about sound as a weapon are just accepted as fact. It's interesting how that works.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
We make sounds every single day with our voices and bodies. The body is comprised of an average of 60-75% water. Water is greatly affected by sound. For examples of this, you can look at the (what some consider) controversial experiments of Dr. Masaru Emoto, who studied not only the impact of sound on freezing water, but also the impact of human consciousness on freezing water.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Dr. Emoto has been criticized for his work and experiments, but I believe they are true after my research. Human consciousness and the energy behind it has a direct effect on water.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Note: I have been studying all of this for a long time, and the sound portion of this could go MUCH further in-depth, so if you wish to see that, please let me know in the comments below.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
So, now that we have the importance of both sound and consciousness on a fundamental level let's move on to our next section. Entire online music libraries are available that broadcast in different wavelengths. They aim to help all sorts of health conditions and mental congruency.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I can attest to using sound and music tuned to different frequencies often. It is how I came to find binaural beats many years ago.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
4. What are binaural beats? Stop for a second and think about the absolute marvel and magnificence of God’s creation, and then stop wondering why human scientists cannot figure it out. Here are how binaural beats work. Different tones are played in each ear. Your brain interprets the difference in the frequency of those tones as its own “beat” with a different frequency. The frequency is the difference between the frequency of the tone played in each ear.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
So, for example, if you listen to a 440 Hz tone with your left ear and a 450 Hz tone with your right ear, your brain would create another "beat" or a 10 Hz tone. Read a bit more: https://www.webmd.com/balance/what-are-binaural-beats
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
There is a lot of science behind this, again, more I can get into further, but your brain creates waves constantly – when you are awake, sleeping, praying, meditating – each of these states of consciousness creates its own corresponding waves. https://t.co/CWMGln3fDc
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Listening to binaural beats causes your brain to synchronize to certain wave states, depending on what kind of binaural beats you are listening to. As discussed with consciousness, science still needs to figure out how to measure everything your brain does at any given time. With the advent of MRI, they have gotten closer, but here is a basic rundown (See Next)
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Alpha Brainwaves: You are relaxed - reduces nervousness and anxious thoughts, boosts creative thinking, and helps artists and athletes reach that in-the-zone state. https://t.co/wZL6PMe1Zp
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Beta Brainwaves: (How we spend most of the day) Increased alertness, improved focus, concentration, quick thinking ability, improvements in problem solving, self confidence... https://t.co/YxVjWCpolP
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Gamma Brainwaves: Improvements in memory and processing information, accurate perception of reality, compassion, positive thinking, high focus and high energy levels, reduction of depression. https://t.co/rFg0NL9eKO
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Delta Brainwaves: Seen in deep sleep, improves memory performance, induces a deep state of relaxation, promotes the release of HGJH. https://t.co/YBhPFY9QgN
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
After looking at these explanations, you can combine two and two to see why binaural beats are so powerful..
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
You can go online right now and search for binaural beats, and since the phenomenon was discovered, there have been many advancements in how sound can be used for brain entrainment. It’s an entire industry. I’ve done it. I do it very often. It works.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Now that we have this BASIC foundation, we can explore more. Robert Monroe revolutionized this technology to synchronize the hemispheres of the human brain, coining the term "hemi-sync." When the brain is working in this way, some AMAZING things happen.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Tomorrow, we will delve more into who Robert Monroe was, the beginnings of his work, and his own personal experiences. It gets really interesting from here but read and share this thread for now! Trust me, it's a topic worth exploring.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
🚨THREAD: Rumble is suing two individual Plaintiffs who run "Check my Ads" in connection with Media Matters. They are seeking punitive damages and an injunction to stop their conduct, among other things. This will be my ongoing thread analyzing this lawsuit. Please bookmark it, and you can also find it on my highlights tab. @rumblevideo @chrispavlovski LINK: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flmd.421291/gov.uscourts.flmd.421291.1.0.pdf
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As per the suit, Check My Ads, while purporting to combat the "global disinformation epidemic," has been involved in its own campaign to censor, silence, and cancel speech by defaming people they are ideologically opposed to - and they do it by attempting to persuade advertisers to leave platforms, like Rumble.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It didn't just start recently. The lawsuit alleges that before they started Check My Ads, Plaintiff Janni launched an anonymous Twitter campaign with an anonymous account to pressure companies to stop advertising on Breitbart. They developed the playbook of demonetization to censor content they were ideologically opposed to. However, they used lies and falsehoods to do it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And so began the vicious cycle of big tech banning and censoring content creators based on partisan politics... It obviously continues to this day.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
But, as per the lawsuit, Rumble hasn't caved to the pressure. As a content-neutral platform, they provide a "safe space" for creators, open discourse (can concur), and a commitment to free speech. Rumble supports small content creators - and as a result, there is a broad spectrum of creators with varying viewpoints on the platform.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
They built from the ground up, created their own tech infrastructure, and did so to avoid dependence on third parties for critical services where possible (ala. not making the same mistakes as Parler) They don't rely on Google for ad revenue, building out their own platform for advertisers to insulate from Big Tech.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And they haven't kept it a secret. From when they were founded through the initial public offering in 2022, they have been outspoken about their commitment to free speech and their mission to protect a free and open internet. Investors have paid attention to this, and as of 10/23/23 their market cap was $1.44b
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The free speech/independent of Big Tech mission at Rumble has been one of the major draws for investors and advertisers to an extent. It is a core of Rumble's mission and its DNA. It is very important to them and to the people who take part on the platform. as investors. or as advertisers.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
So, Janni publicly decried that they were shifting their sights to Rumble. They despise what Rumble stands for. If this isn't evidence of malicious intent I am not sure what is. As per the complaint, they launched a disinformation campaign to demonetize Rumble and they bragged about it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Correction! This should say defendant Jammi. Need more coffee. https://x.com/tracybeanz/status/1734596885254430723?s=20
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It didn't just start recently. The lawsuit alleges that before they started Check My Ads, Plaintiff Janni launched an anonymous Twitter campaign with an anonymous account to pressure companies to stop advertising on Breitbart. They developed the playbook of demonetization to censor content they were ideologically opposed to. However, they used lies and falsehoods to do it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And, Jammi just kept going. Seemingly emboldened and impervious to accountability, Jammi (using the same playbook discussed earlier) made numerous false statements about Rumble's business practices, ad placements, revenue streams, and overall financial health. She did this to pressure advertisers to drop Rumble, and we know because she told us.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Rumble gets less than 1% of ad revenue from Google: They falsely accused Rumble of lying to its shareholders and the SEC about its financial health and sources of ad rev. They've repeatedly said that Rumble is primarily monetized by and wholly dependent on Google Ads. That is inconsistent with Rumble's publicly stated mission.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As recently as September of this year - with instructions for advertisers to block Rumble from their campaigns....
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Defendants manufacturing and publishing this narrative is meant to harm Rumble's reputation with advertisers, shareholders, and investors by suggesting that Rumble is lying to them about a material financial risk - that Rumble's business would be devastated if Google Ad's dropped them.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And Jammi et al should have known this, because filings are public. As Rumble transitioned to its own ad serve, its reliance on Google Ads steadily declined...
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And as of today? Its reliance stands so small it isn't even reportable... Meanwhile, the last posts from defendants were as late as October.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
.@rumblevideo responded directly to Jammi about her false and defamatory statements correcting the record, and she affirmed and acknowledged the accuracy of the statements. (In my opinion, this is the death knell for Jammi...)
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
But, unfortunately, as is usually the case, following the false statements, Rumble lost market value. $185m dollars worth of it. And they have been forced to expend a lot of funds on outside legal counsel and PR firms to try to mitigate the damage the lies have done.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And so, Rumble is suing. And as a group committed to dispelling so-called "misinformation" they should appreciate the truth.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here is where we learn that they work directly with MMFA - MM also published a story about this.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And here it is-- the Media Matters/X playbook implemented against Rumble- Engineering algorithms and fake ad placements to pressure advertisers to remove themselves from the equation. This is the way they do it. It is quite literally, evil.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And that is very clearly defamatory... "Defendants’ false claims about Rumble’s ad revenue imply—as Defendants intended—that Rumble is susceptible to a material financial risk (i.e., the risk that Google may decide to pull nearly all Rumble’s ad revenue) that simply does not exist. As Rumble’s public securities filings show, since 2021, the percentage of revenue Rumble derived from Google Ads has fallen dramatically. In the first three quarters of 2021, revenue from Google Ads was about 86% of Rumble’s total revenue. In October 2023, it was less than 1%.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
You get the picture.. "Defendants’ claims that Rumble is economically dependent on Google Ads and derives 90% of its ad revenue from Google are defamatory per se because they falsely impute to Rumble a characteristic and condition that is incompatible with the proper exercise of Rumble’s business, trade, mission, and brand. Since its inception, Rumble’s publicly stated mission has been to free itself—and its users— from the shackles of Big Tech’s censorship and dominance in the U.S. economy. (To that end, Rumble filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google in January 2021; that lawsuit is ongoing.) And that distinction has been a significant factor in Rumble’s economic success, including successfully going public in September 2022, because Rumble’s users, shareholders, and investors share Rumble’s commitment to independence from Big Tech"
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The next section goes on to detail that Jammi et al KNEW that their information was wrong and they continued to maliciously parrot it anyway. There is proof they knew, because she responded as such. Her further posts on X prove malicious intent...
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is one of the legal hurdles you need to cross to win in a case like this. IMHO, they cross that bar in spades.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Beanz assessment: For far too long, organizations like this have been able to lie, defame, slander, and demonetize conservative thought and individuals they place a target on. I have been a victim of this myself. It is infuriating. They wish to strangle us monetarily and otherwise so that we cease to exist in the public square - because in the marketplace of ideas, we win EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I am THRILLED to see the playbook discovered and attacked, FINALLY, after all of these years. I would have gone after them if I had had the funds. This is a SOLID case. Defamation is hard, but the hubris of these people serves it up on a silver platter. The tide is turning..

@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
🚨🚨This will be my ongoing thread and analysis of Texas v. Pfizer. Bookmark this thread and come back often for updates on the case. It will additionally be included on my Highlights page. @KenPaxtonTX filed a whopper of a lawsuit against Pfizer. You will need your thinking caps for it. The petition can be found here: https://texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Pfizer%20Vaccine%20Petition%20Filed.pdf…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
You will likely remember the constant drumbeat that the Pfizer mRNA shots were "95% effective." The filing starts "The COVID-19 vaccines are the miracle that wasn't." 1. More Americans died in 2021 with the vaccine available than in 2020 - with the vaccine available and the majority of Americans taking Pfizer's. 2. By the end of 2021, in some places, a greater percentage of the vaccinated were dying from COVID-19 than the unvaccinated. As per the filing, the Pfizer shot was plainly not "95% effective. The suit gets in to the why and how shortly.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
So, how did the shot achieve such widespread adoption yet fall short of the stated goal of ending the pandemic? Pfizer lied. They only told the public it was 95% effective based on the relative risk reduction for vaccinated individuals in their not yet completed study. The FDA agrees that relative risk isn't the proper way to present risk, stating: “...when information is presented in a relative risk format, the risk reduction seems large and treatments are viewed more favorably than when the same information is presented” using more accurate metrics."
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Their claim made the shot seem highly effective, but the truth differed. When Pfizer began making those claims, they possessed on average, only about 2 months of clinical trial data from which to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. We are going to break this down and explain the difference between different types of assessments here momentarily.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Of 17,000 placebo recipients, only 162 acquired COVID during the two-month period. Based on those numbers, vaccination status had a negligible impact on whether a trial participant contracted COVID. As a matter of fact, the risk of acquiring COVID was so small in the short initial window that it showed the shot only fractionally improved a person's risk of infection. A recipient's "absolute risk reduction" (the FDA's preferred method for efficacy) showed that the shot was merely .85% effective. They gamed the numbers.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As per the filing, once Pfizer seeded the market with the 95% efficacy claim, it continued to deceive the public in numerous ways. 1. Duration of Protection: When it first granted an EUA, the FDA recognized that it wasn't impossible to know how effective the shot would remain beyond two months. By early 2021, Pfizer deliberately created the impression that the shot had durable and sustained protections, even withholding highly relevant data from the public that demonstrated rapidly waning efficacy.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
2. Transmission: The FDA had warned Pfizer that it needed more info to determine whether the shot protected against transmission between individuals, but Pfizer instead engaged in a "fear-mongering campaign" exploiting the public fear over the virus by insinuating that the shot was necessary to protect their loved ones from getting COVID.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
3. Variant Protection: Pfizer knowingly made false and unsupported claims about the shot's performance against variants, including the Delta variant. The shot performed remarkably poorly against the Delta variant, and Pfizer's data confirmed that. Nonetheless, they told the public that its shot was "very, very effective against Delta."
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As per the suit, as Pfizer bragged about the vaccine's success, many pieces of information came to prove that the shot failed to live up to the hype. For example, shortly after Delta's emergence in Israel (a country Pfizer used as a "canary in a coal mine") the relative risk reduction dropped precipitously, from 64% in June, to just 39% one month later.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
NEGATIVE EFFICACY: Certain jurisdictions reported negative vaccine efficacy in late 2021 and early 2022, meaning that a greater percentage of vaccinated people contracted, and died, from COVID than the unvaccinated.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Additionally, the number of people infected with COVID increased over time. In the UK, infection rates were 7% from 4/26/20 through 12/7/20 (before the approval and distribution) but were 24.2% between 5/18/21 and 12/13/21 and 33.6% from 12/14/21-2/21/21....
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Pfizer tried to silence the former FDA Director: When it became apparent that the shot was failing and its profits were under threat, Pfizer set out on an intimidation campaign, going so far as to censor the critics (I know all too well, and so do many of you.) They labeled anyone who spread facts about the above as "criminals," accused them of spreading "misinformation" and coerced social media platforms to silence prominent truth-tellers. They even went so far as to request that social media silence the former FDA director because his comments could "drive news coverage" critical of the vaccine.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Pfizer seems to be hiding behind comments from the FDA and its EUA approval to shield them from scrutiny on the facts in the lawsuit. https://t.co/XWnsniUFvL
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
"In summary, Pfizer intentionally misrepresented the efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine and censored persons who threatened to disseminate the truth in order to facilitate fast adoption of the product and expand its commercial opportunity. In light of the multi-billion dollar bet that Pfizer made on the vaccine and its need to quickly establish the product as the marketing leader, was heavily incentivized to, and in fact did, make misrepresentations intended to confuse and mislead the public in order to achieve widespread adoption of its vaccine. This suit seeks to hold Pfizer responsible for its scheme of serial misrepresentations and deceptive trade practices.."
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The petition spends several pages reviewing the requirements for EUA approval vs. full FDA approval and a few pages talking about the rules governing deceptive marketing tactics. This lays the background for how Texas alleges Pfizer abused these rules. To detail all of this would be time-consuming and repetitive. If you would like to read this for yourself, the relevant pages are 7-12.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
However, I would like to detail the guidance from the FDA on how to accurately convey risk and efficacy because it is important to understanding the rest of the suit.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Let's define some terms/concepts. 1. Absolute Risk: This is the likelihood that a person will experience a particular treatment outcome. Someone may have a 1 in 10k chance of getting a certain cancer. (.01% baseline risk) Absolute risk reduction measures the reduction in the baseline risk if the person engages in some course of treatment. For example, someone may take an experimental drug intended to lower the risk of that certain cancer, so that the baseline risk drops from 1 in 10K to 1 in 20K (.005% post-treatment risk) Absolute risk reduction is calculated by the difference between those two values.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
2. Relative Risk: This is the likelihood of an individual experiencing a certain treatment outcome by comparing two scenarios. For ex: The person above has a 1 in 10K chance of developing a certain cancer without treatment and a 1 in 20K chance with treatment. Therefore, her relative risk of that cancer if she takes the treatment is half that of what it would be if she didn't.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
3. Number Needed to Treat (NNT): This reflects the number of patients that would have to be treated by a particular intervention to be able to prevent one additional negative outcome. A drug with an NNT of 10 means that 10 people require treatment with that drug to avoid one negative outcome the drug is intended to prevent.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As you can see, these are three very different ways of representing a drug's benefit/efficacy/risk. Keep these handy. You are about to need them.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The FDA doesn't want pharmaceutical companies to use just relative risk, because it is misleading. They want companies to use absolute risks or couple absolute risks with relative, otherwise, they risk influencing patients based on their representations of the data... Tsk. Tsk.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is a chart that demonstrates the same data across different methods of risk analysis-- you can clearly see why relative risk isn't the standard - https://t.co/qrVTkg8sNu
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Pfizer used only the relative risk assessment to declare that the shot was 95% effective. We will demonstrate how in the posts to follow....
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
On 11/20/20, Pfizer submitted an EUA request for its vaccine designated BNT162b2. As a part of that application, they submitted safety and efficacy data from an ongoing Phase 3 trial- not a completed clinical trial. https://t.co/ckIHEfJ56M
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Phase I trials started on 4/23/20 in a limited number of people. On 7/27/20, after those results, they began enrolling subjects in a joint Phase II/IIII trial. They were randomized into two equal groups and received 2 doses of the shot or placebo 21 days apart. For the purposes of the EUA, they monitored those subjects' status and whether they got COVID until 11/14/20.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The Phase II/III study investigated two efficacy endpoints (the metrics used to determine whether the shot was successful.) The first endpoint measured COVID incidence per 10,000 person-years of follow-up in people without evidence of past infection, before and after vaccine, with confirmed cases in people 7 days after dose 2.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The second endpoint sought to measure how often COVID-19 arose in patients 7 days after the second dose, including in those who may have been infected before https://t.co/eqNvjr3WUR
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The results submitted to the FDA comprised 43,448 participants. 21,720 of them received the Pfizer shot, and 21,728 got a placebo. They had hastily added 14,000 additional participants. They said they had followed the trial participants for a median of two months after participation. Still, in November of 2020, the FDA found that only 43.9% of the participants completed at least two months of follow-up after receiving the 2nd dose.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
🚨🚨This is how Pfizer made the 95% effective claim: As of 11/14/20, 8 out of 17,411 participants (.04%) who received the shot and didn't have COVID prior experienced a defined case during the trial. In the placebo group, as of 11/14/20, 162 out of 17,511 participants (.9%) who didn't have evidence of prior infection experienced a defined case during the trial. The relative risk reduction between the placebo group and the treatment group? Was 95%....
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
HOWEVER - the ABSOLUTE risk reduction was only .85%. And the NNT was 119. One hundred nineteen people needed to be vaccinated to prevent one single defined COVID case.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Something many of us said is also mentioned here. They engineered the trial so that only COVID cases that occurred 7 days after shot two. 409 cases in the vaccination group happened after the first shot but before the 7-day mark after shot two. In the placebo group, that number was only 287. More people got COVID between doses in the vaccinated group vs. the unvaccinated group...

🚨THREAD: Elon Musk’s X Corp is suing Media Matters. Here is an analysis of this concise complaint. I will be reporting on this case as it progresses. This will be the main thread, so please bookmark if interested. You can also find it on my Highlights page. LINK: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.383454/gov.uscourts.txnd.383454.1.0_1.pdf
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As @elonmusk discussed in the post he made this weekend, X alleges that Media Matters “knowingly and maliciously” manufactured images to show advertising where it didn’t exist, specifically for the purpose of harming and destroying X. https://t.co/GKuHd6huWa
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
X has over 500 million active users per month, and is facilitating free speech and discourse by enabling its users to share their own content and comment and message on others’ posts. Occasionally, a user feed will have paid ads, which are the overwhelming source of income for X. https://t.co/QM1PrBNAEP
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Users have control over their “feed” on X. They curate the content they see by “following” who they want to follow which tailors their experience. X says they also provide the option to forego the algorithm allowing a user to view only content they want to see. https://t.co/9vuTOtPYs5
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
X says that Media Matters has been targeting them for a while. In the last year they have published a series of articles threatening the platforms relationships with massive multinational advertisers and publishers like Amazon, eBay, MLB, NYT, WSJ, Nokia and T-Mobile to name a few.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Just this month MMFA have released over 20 articles disparaging Musk and X - and it appears that they are using the scoring method of the WEF…. (Note to self… look more into this..) Photo 2. https://t.co/kDPxucu9RT
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here’s what X alleges MMFA has done: 1. They manipulated the algorithm governing user experience, to bypass safeguards X has, and created images of the largest advertisers paid posts adjacent to racist content, leaving a false impression that they were real - X says they are manufactured, inorganic, and “extraordinarily rare.”
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
How did they do it? X did an internal investigation. 1. They accessed accounts that had been active for at least 30 days which bypassed the ad filter for new users. 2. Then, they followed a small subset of accounts who fit exclusively into two boxes; those known to produce extreme, fringe content, and accounts owned by the big advertisers. Result? A feed precision designed to produce side by side ad placement that it could screenshot to alienate advertisers.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Then, when that didn’t produce the results they desired, the manipulated the platform again by endlessly scrolling and refreshing the hand selected accounts, generating between 13 and 15 times more ads per hour than normally viewed, until it finally received pages it wanted; the bad content next to prominent advertisers.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
For those of you who may be new to this, CISA, the Surgeon General, the White House, the FBI and the CDC are BARRED from communicating with social media platforms for the purposes of censorship of any kind. The original 5th opinion omitted CISA - the states appealed and this is the NEW decision, including them. You’ll need to go to my pinned thread ASAP and read through. This is the most important civil liberties case in our lifetimes.

@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This case was filed last May by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, along with private plaintiffs, against numerous agencies in the federal government. Plaintiffs alleged that the government (including the FBI, White House, Surgeon General, CISA, among many others) were forcing social media companies to censor speech by threat.

Plaintiffs alleged that the government (including the FBI, White House, Surgeon General, CISA, among many others) were forcing social media companies to censor speech by threat.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The Plaintiffs wanted a temporary injunction to STOP this activity as their case moved to trial. Judge Terry Doughty granted them expedited limited discovery and deposition to get the information they needed to prove a temporary injunction was warranted.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Of course, the government fought this the entire way, but ultimately were widely unsuccessful. The information plaintiffs received was absolutely mind blowing. For certain the government was coercing social media companies to censorship— the discovery proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It came time for a hearing on the injunction, and I traveled to Louisiana for that hearing. It was 8 hours long, and absolutely damning for the government. If you see the post I placed in the first post in this thread, you can scroll down and read all about it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Since that hearing, I have been honored to do several spaces with @ThaWoodChipper, who also understands the importance of this monumental civil rights case. It is the most important civil rights case in the modern era, hands down. We waited patiently for the ruling… And on July 4th, we got it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
On July 4th, the district court under an absolutely AMAZING judge in Terry Doughty, ruled in FAVOR of the Plaintiffs. Here is where you need to pay attention. Everything this judge wrote in his ruling is a PROVEN FACT in a court of law. In a 155 page ruling, the judge METICULOUSLY dissected the record and rendered a judgement.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I threaded this ruling when it happened, and you can find it on my “highlights” page - but I want to make something clear; the fact set the judge is relying on here came from EXTREMELY limited discovery and deposition from ONLY the government Defendants.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
So, the ruling was for a temporary injunction to STOP the government from the following while carving out some exceptions for them, AS THE REST OF THE CASE PROGRESSED THROUGH DISCOVERY AND TO TRIAL. Read this very carefully.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This list is going to be very important as we move forward through this thread, so please bookmark this for reference moving forward. So, the government obviously appealed this to the 5th circuit. The court heard the appeal in an expedited fashion (for them) and yesterday, THEIR opinion was filed.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It is hard to completely rehash all of the reporting I have done over the past year and some months in a short update, but basically the government argued that they weren’t threatening anyone ever and everything we got in discovery was nonsense and misinterpreted, and the 3 judge panel of the court of appeals had to listen to that, while reviewing the DETAILED fact set the judge had ruled on in the order for the injunction.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
So, quickly, what we are about to go through is the 5th circuits decision on whether or not to UPHOLD the ruling that Judge Doughty made barring the government agencies listed from the actions listed above in the 4 set screenshot, or to REVERSE that ruling. It isn’t about the entire case— ONLY the temporary injunction.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I am probably 70/30 on how this panned out, but the details are important. The government asked that if the court should rule against them, they put a stay (pause) on the order for 10 days so that they could appeal it to the SCOTUS. The 5th did that, so the ruling they just laid down is PAUSED for 10 more days while the government attempts to write to the SCOTUS convincing them that they SHOULD be able to force social media companies to censor you. Chew on that for a minute.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Also, in the interim while we waited for this decision, I had the honor of interviewing both @AGAndrewBailey from Missouri, and @AGJeffLandry from Louisiana. Both are WONDERFUL examples of what you want in a state Attorney General.

@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
@AGAndrewBailey @AGJeffLandry We are about to travel through 74 pages together.. Grab coffee, whatever, and off we go.

@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
So, the court agrees the government is guilty of what is alleged, but not for ALL of the officials that Judge Doughty did. Remember, everything is based on the limited discovery they were able to receive, but I wholeheartedly disagree with this, and we will go through the reasons why. Still, the fact this was affirmed AT ALL is a massive, massive win.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
@AGAndrewBailey @AGJeffLandry They summarized much more concisely than I ever could… https://t.co/mOVcbQlst9
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
1. The White House and Surgeon General - taken together Here the appeals court affirms that the WH and SG requested social media companies remove posts and pressured them to do so. It also affirms that they also monitored the platforms moderation activities, demanded information from them about their policies, “Always, the officials asked for more data and stronger interventions” said the 5th.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
From the beginning the platforms cooperated - even creating special tools, but as officials began to demand more from them, the platforms worked to “appease” government officials, “eager” to stay in their good graces. https://t.co/JRstpgWUIH
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Remember, everything in this decision REAFFIRMS a fact pattern. Here the 5th affirms that the WH and SG attempted to interfere with the platforms own POLICY creation. This is so important. The government can not do this. https://t.co/Xs82GI5HzO
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here the court affirms that platforms changed their moderation policy after instruction from the government… Tsk Tsk “…they also changed their moderation policies expressly in accordance with the officials’ wishes…” https://t.co/k1bN5Pxz11
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As an aside, I don’t want to hear ONE PERSON come at any of us who have been saying this for years and say it is “misinformation” any longer. This is now affirmed both in congress and in two courts - a district court and the court of appeals of the United States. @krassenstein and @EdKrassen argued with me in a space once that this is all totally untrue. I hope they will revise their positions. I wont hold my breath.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The discovery proved that the changes many of the platforms enacted coincided closely with meeting between the WH and SG and the platforms. And even when they didn’t adopt the changes, they censored content that DID NOT BREAK their terms of service after that content was flagged by the government.. Again, marinate on it…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
@krassenstein At the same time as they were demoting normal Americans, the social media platforms capitulated to government demands to “amplify” (inorganically) the governments “approved” narrative, specifically in this case when it pertained to vaccines for COVID. https://t.co/asT2LPmGow
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I want everyone to think about the above for a moment. They were forcing inorganic amplification so people would be fooled into thinking the vaccine was “safe and effective” when one of them was REMOVED because it wasn’t. The sheer evil behind the obvious is unbelievable.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Even with all of that, the ministry of truth wasn’t happy, scolding platforms for not doing enough, and trying to coerce them to do more. All of this to get that needle in your arm, consequences be damned… https://t.co/u1Ws27lq1M
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And here the court details the infamous press conference, where Jen Psaki and Vivek Murthy *expressly threatened* the platforms from the bully pulpit, even singling out certain accounts.. This was the ultimate in authoritarianism, and the 5th circuit agrees. https://t.co/pfuKR2Dl6a
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
“The platforms responded with total compliance. Their answer was four-fold.” The social media companies responded with child like obedience to daddy government. You can’t make this up. https://t.co/7KdEbIZtoF
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
They changed their internal policies in response to the presser… https://t.co/6mUxhGE6FP
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
They removed speakers (like the so called “disinfo dozen” that they HAD NOT BEEN targeting BEFORE the press conference, and they continued to inorganically amplify the government’s content. https://t.co/CoBxeDgV0A
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Even this wasn’t enough for the ministry of truth. They continued their public threats, invoking Section 230 protection as a cudgel for MORE action, and using the office of the President as a backbone for that threat. https://t.co/lSVh0dUC71
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
“Next, we turn to the CDC” says the 5th panel. They behaved much like the White House and Surgeon General. They flagged posts with supposed “misinformation” and actively sought to promote its “official” position over others. They also provided direct guidance to the platforms on the application of their internal policy and moderation activities.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
They had BOLO (Be on the Lookout) meetings on “misinformation” hot topics. They asked for moderation changes, and they OUTRIGHT DIRECTED platforms to take certain actions. Direct violation of the constitution. Platforms began relying on the CDC to “Debunk” posts it wasn’t sure about.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And now, the good ol’ FBI. They regularly met with platforms, at least since the 2020 election. They shared “Strategic information” to alert them to “misinformation” trends in the lead up to the elections. https://t.co/yvtGq79TMf
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Per their operations, the FBI monitored platforms moderation policies and asked for “detailed assessments” during regular meetings. Some platforms changed their TOS to be able to comply with the FBI. While the government boasted that *only* 50% of the domestic (I repeat - DOMESTIC) content they wanted to remove was removed, the court didn’t find that so beneficial for them.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is going to be the part where my disappointment comes in…But, again, this isn’t the CASE decision, its the decision on the injunction only.. They talk about NIAID, CISA, and the State Department. NIAID and Fauci didn’t have regular contact with platforms or flag, they mainly appeared on Live Streams and podcasts and had those amplified. CISA and the SD directly engaged with the platforms and discussed the tools and techniques that foreign influence actors would use.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The State Department didn’t flag content, but CISA did, acting as an intermediary for third party groups and then “switch boarding” based off of the EIP and CIS. The officials actions “apparently led to content being removed or demoted by the recipient platforms” https://t.co/KuNQmkYwuW
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Relying on the fact set above, the district court concluded that the officials coerced platforms to remove content and change their moderation policies, and therefore were likely to succeed on the merits, granting the injunction. https://t.co/3vpLFQuWg7
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
LEGAL THEORY: On standing - Any ONE plaintiff that demonstrates ongoing harm or continued injury is enough to pass the standing argument, a fact that was argued eloquently by the Plaintiff attorney in court. https://t.co/1CGDLZqSRK
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The government is arguing that Plaintiffs dont have standing because they can’t prove a FUTURE injury. Here the court goes over their PAST injury. But the court doesn’t agree with the government. They believe there is ongoing injury and there will be future injury as well. https://t.co/Gfmm96ScvQ
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I want to stop for a second (again) and go over how monumental this actually is. This is the first time ever that a normal “user” or American has submitted evidence of social media censorship and had their concerns ADDRESSED at all by a COURT OF LAW.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Another HUGE precedent set here - the past chilling of their speech has caused individuals to SELF CENSOR. That is considered ongoing harm. This is a massive and very important section. https://t.co/vfa8NBIywk
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
“As the Supreme Court has recognized, this chilling of the Individual Plaintiffs exercise of their First Amendment Rights, is, itself, a constitutionally sufficient injury.” They rule that the fears motivating the self censorship aren’t hypothetical, and come from very real censorship injuries they have previously suffered… Legal Eagles, affirm for me the importance of JUST this paragraph.. Amazing.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The government had tried to argue that ongoing harms were not going to occur because, for example, Twitter had “stopped” enforcing its COVID misinformation policy. But the court disagrees, saying that they have been censored for views well beyond COVID. Continued next— very important.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here is something ANYONE who is considering any sort of lawsuit needs to consider. The court here aptly notes that plaintiffs aren’t suing the platforms over their TOS, they are suing to stop the GOVERNMENT from interfering with platforms. Also - the government admitted in oral argument that they are STILL in contact with these platforms today. TLDR; the court doesn’t trust that the government isn’t still forcing social media companies to censor..
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is GRAND. The government argued that because the users had been REINSTATED, all is well. The court rightly says no. The fact that they WERE REINSTATED is what causes the threat of ongoing harm. If they didn’t have an account, they wouldn’t have to worry about censorship— they wouldn’t be able to post. Masterful.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The first standing hurdle, crossed and landed for Plaintiffs. This means any chance of appeal on standing to SCOTUS is likely a failure. The government had argued this standing issue over, and over, and over and have been shot down every single time. Now that is reinforced yet again. This case isn’t going ANYWHERE.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The Plaintiffs had to show that their injuries were traceable to conduct of the government. Government argued that since the content moderation policies were in place in the Trump administration, and also because moderation decisions were made independently by the social media companies. They had no standing. However, the plaintiffs aren’t challenging the policies themselves, but whether they can be traced back to government actors. The appeals court agrees with the district court that yes, they can be.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Even though there were instances where social media companies declined to censor, the Plaintiffs only have to show the likelihood they would comply, not certainty. The logical conclusion is that they would, based on the preliminary discovery they received.. https://t.co/iBBr8Z4vGw
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And I want to again stress, this was LIMITED discovery. The judge in the district court had made it a point in an order to let the government know that this was a mere scintilla of what would be required for production moving forward. So position this for yourselves - all of this is coming from an EXTREMELY limited production of evidence, which will now broaden to include more officials, more agency heads, more PRIVATE companies, like Facebook, Google, and X, that will be subpoenaed and deposed for evidence at trial.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Next on standing, the Plaintiffs had to prove that their injuries could be redressed by a favorable decision on the injunction. https://t.co/yr5tIK2Usd
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Again, key here is that the Plaintiffs aren’t challenging the social media companies policies themselves, rather they asked for the government from being restrained from unlawfully interfering with their independent application of those policies. https://t.co/kut8vbUl2L
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And IMPORTANTLY, the government had argued that the state plaintiffs didn’t have standing. That goes right down the trash shoot here, and it is a BIG deal. States were censored by platforms. This court determines they have standing as well. https://t.co/CSJYbS0iVE
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And an interesting little tidbit here. Other state officials have experienced censorship as well, so this isn’t limited to just Missouri and Louisiana. https://t.co/lLRibdfomG
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And next, a very important part of the 1st Amendment that often goes undiscussed. THE RIGHT TO LISTEN. Constituent plaintiffs were harmed by the censorship of their elected representatives, and the elected representatives and states are harmed WHEN THEY CAN NOT HEAR their constituents. This was discussed at length in my interview with @AGJeffLandry
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The appeals court rules that Plaintiffs have standing - finally putting that issue to bed (hopefully) and also the court makes sure to include that even the CDC admitted the need to “hear” citizens. It may be for a different reason for them, but if you think about it - if the government couldn’t “hear” what we are all saying, they wouldn’t know what narrative they needed to craft to counter the truth… Goes both ways. NEXT!
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
There is a high bar to hit to even be granted an injunction. You must meet four criteria, as detailed below. 1. You are likely to succeed on the merits of your case. 2. There is a “substantial threat that you will suffer “irreparable injury” without it. 3. The injury you could sustain outweighs whatever “harm” the injunction could cause the other side 4. An injunction doesn’t disserve the public interest.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
FRAME THIS. “The Plaintiffs allege that federal officials ran afoul of the First Amendment by coercing and significantly encouraging social media platforms to censor disfavored speech, including by threats of adverse government action like antitrust enforcement and legal reforms. WE AGREE”
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The government CAN NOT abridge free speech. Private parties are not normally constrained by the first amendment. Again, the importance of this can not be understated. We are here because they government acted through threats to social media companies to censor “disfavored” viewpoints. Every case against a social media company for their TOS or their censorship moves has failed because Plaintiffs have targeted the social media company rather than the government. One exception I know of off the top of my head is the Berenson case, and he settled.

@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The Missouri v. Biden case is the most important civil liberties case we have seen in years, and may be the most important ever. The case is brought by Missouri and Louisiana, along with other individual plaintiffs. It asks the court to bar the government from colluding…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
..with social media companies to limit free speech. Recently, the judge entered a ruling on motions before him. The Biden Administration had appealed to a 3 judge panel at the 5th circuit to either bar the lower court from forcing the depositions of high level officials he had..
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
..granted, or make them depose less senior officials. The 5th circuit declined to bar the judge from doing anything, instead asking him to revisit the potential of less obstructive means of obtaining the information needed.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The transcripts of Elvis Chan (FBI Agent who visited Meta about the laptop) and Anthony Fauci were produced from depositions in this case. You can read those here in case you haven’t.

@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The judge in LA asked the Plaintiffs to brief him again on whether there were other people who could answer the Plaintiffs questions to prove their case for a temporary injunction, and asked the Defendants to respond. The Plaintiff response is what I was threading last night.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It is linked above. The defendants told the judge that he should pause all of this while their motion to dismiss the case was on the table. The defendants want all of this discovery and deposition to stop and don’t want to have to answer to anyone. The judge isn’t having it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
What follows now is a breakdown of his order, filed recently. As an aside, I broke out the Jen Psaki piece of this, even going so far as to read the transcript from HER judge shopping expedition in Virginia court. They really don’t want her deposed.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As usual, in any filing or order, you get a brief summary of “what is this about and why are we here?” It makes it easy to understand what the parties are arguing at that particular time, and why.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The judge discusses the criteria he is using to make his decision. The higher court has asked for the lower court to analyze whether the Plaintiffs can get the information from “less intrusive, alternative means” and evaluate again whether all should be paused as they wait..
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
..for a ruling on the motion to dismiss in the case. The last brief by the Plaintiffs offered up some alternatives for the people they initially sought. Keep in mind, Psaki is no longer the head of anything.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is the judge saying: “I already ruled on this, but we have to do this again because the higher court said so”
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Rob Flaherty: One of the criteria you need to meet to be able to depose high-level government officials is “exceptional circumstances.” Flaherty was recently added to the case after expedited discovery revealed his involvement.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
In their brief, the Plaintiffs argued that the replacement being offered up instead of Flaherty (Slavitt) wouldn’t be sufficient because he didn’t attend all of the meetings Flaherty did. In their brief, the defendants argued “exceptional circumstances” didn’t exist. Bad move.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The judge orders that no suitable replacement is available for Flaherty, but that they will start with written interrogatory and discovery in the form of document requests. The judge lays out a timeline for this. Understand, this is a very big deal.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The judge also addresses what will happen if the defendants pull some nonsense in written response, something the Plaintiffs also addressed. This judge ain’t having it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is the warning. “If you don’t respond correctly, Flaherty will be sitting down for a verbal deposition, under oath”
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Jen Easterly: The judge asserts there is no reason to depose Easterly ,and he has gone through why, but also decides that Scully is a suitable replacement. I actually agree, FWIW. They will go to Easterly for anything they can’t get from him, and he was involved EVERYWHERE.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Also, please note that the judge reaffirms “Cognitive Infrastructure.” We learned earlier in the suit that CISA has designated YOUR THOUGHTS as part of it’s critical infrastructure, and therefore they can regulate that the same way they would regulate other things.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Vivek Murthy: Murthy was one the Plaintiffs really harped on, but the judge went with his underling. Again, if they don’t get anything from the underling, Waldo, they will go back for Murthy. Waldo is the biggest fish in his office with involvement here.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Murthy had responded in written form, and defendants argue no deposition is needed from anyone there because his responses were good enough. The judge doesn’t agree with that either, but I am considering this one a loss for now. They really needed Murthy.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I also need to add here, this judge is basically under the watchful eye of the 5th circuit right now- a higher court. It would’ve been easy for him to just side with the Defendant arguments, not granting any further discovery because of the alleged “harm” it caused the government
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Even with a gazillion other courts breathing down his back, he is doing the right thing. In analyzing the judges decision, I suppose he is thinking that by allowing the depo of a lower official, with options for more later, he is circumventing the 5th circuit stepping in (cont)
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And ruling over him on the pending mandamus (it originates on these deposition appeals.) He is throwing the higher court a bone while also allowing the Plaintiffs all the leverage and leeway they need to make the depositions they want.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Jen Psaki: This is something. Psaki was originally a dependent, but left the government. Then, the WH said they knew nothing about anything Psaki said and couldn’t return any responsive documents during expedited discovery. The judge ordered her deposed.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Psaki didn’t like that, so she started fighting it, with the government helping her. However, the government maintained that there is no replacement for Psaki. They are saying no one knows what she was saying and why. That’s their argument.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Jen Psaki will be deposed. And it is the Biden Administrations fault. READ: https://www.uncoverdc.com/2022/11/28/judge-in-va-takes-rhee-to-task-on-psaki-deposition-in-censorship-case/
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
One of the biggest worries for people on the side of actual justice, is that the courts seem to grant motions to dismiss on cases that really need to be adjudicated, especially when it comes to big-tech and censorship. I think this judge is going to see this case through.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
He basically tells the defendants here that their motion to dismiss is bunk, while scolding them about the time they took to file it and the fact that they asked a higher court to force him to halt discover for a motion to dismiss that HADN’T EVEN BEEN FILED YET:
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
He also reminds everyone that this discovery is ONLY so he can rile on the temporary injunction and that since the plaintiffs do have standing, (a central argument of the motion to dismiss,) they may move to trial where MORE deposition and discovery will be necessary.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I have followed this case since it has filed. It has been unprecedented in what it has uncovered. The @elonmusk Twitter Files, covered by @mtaibbi @bariweiss and @ShellenbergerMD have been icing on a cake for it; most of this will also probably come out in discovery.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The argument folks always put forth (and the government does as well) is, “Well sure, as the government we were making SUGGESTIONS about censorship, but we weren’t FORCING them to do it” Hogwash. Psaki made statements from the podium threatening anti-trust and also 230 (cont)
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
..penalty should social media companies not ban who the government identified. More, in released discovery we learned the “Disinformation Governance Board” was a way for CISA to organize their ALREADY IN MOTION censorship “help desk” <more>
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The highlighting of the Hobbs email was part of this, and came from discovery here. People would send in “tickets” and CISA, in partnership with NGO’s and other Non Profits, used YOUR TAX dollars to run a censorship “help desk.” However, they needed more organization and funding
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The disinformation governance board was a way for them to centralize what they were already doing, and continue to do.

@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
🚨TREAD: I am in a very unique position, in that I’ve know Larry Sinclair since 2011. Usually, I don’t personally KNOW the subject of interviews like this. To watch people I call my friends say terrible things about him because they DON’T know him like I do, hurts in a different way.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It is actually a great lesson for me, because I know that I have been one of them in the past. I’m never usually hurtful towards people, which I am seeing a LOT OF. But, I do form opinions and have disdain for others based on certain things.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
To see the hurtful things being said about my friend, as some sort of “engagement” or “got ya” has REALLY been eye opening.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Larry is a wonderful person. Yes, the subject matter is hard. Yes, it’s taboo. But this actually happened to him. The aftermath actually happened to him. And he had the guts to come forward about it when Obama lied. In 2008!!!
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
But I know him. He isn’t doing this to be “famous.” Goodness if you only knew how little he cares about being famous. He isn’t doing this to “distract” anyone. He’s a real human being, with real feelings.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Did you know that Larry helped the poor/disadvantaged build homes in Florida for several years? So they had a place to live? Probably not. There’s a host of other amazing things he’s done too. And he’d give you the shirt off his back.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Moral of the story? Stop being ugly, or at least try to. Stop judging, or at least take a moment to understand the person you are slinging insults around about is an actual PERSON. Who had an experience. That they talked about. I love Larry. Nothing will ever change that.

For these reasons (among others we will get to in a moment) Lake is asking for relief from judgement (basically a do-over) under Rule 60(b).

Expert witness Clay Parikh is back with more, after doing a ton of due diligence and requesting public records etc after the case was decided. Maricopa was forced to respond to those requests AND data from the report (BOD Report) investigating the ballot on demand printers was used.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The new evidence shows that Maricopa violated the law and did not do L&A testing on *any* vote center tabulators on Election Day. Further, after they certified they passed L&A on 10/11/22, they went on to secretly test all 446of the vote-center tabulators on 10/14, 10/17 and 10/18 and KNEW 260 of them would fail on Election Day.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
MORE: Jarrett LIED on the stand when he talked about the 19” ballot on 20” paper. I have been pounding this since day 1, but now we have more. Jarrett’s testimony that this occurred at only 3 vote centers and was caused by temporary technicians changing printer settings in an attempt to fix printer issues on Election Day IS FALSE.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The judge had originally ruled against Lake for several reasons, one of them being that she had not shown *intentional* misconduct on the part of Maricopa officials. Additionally, they have evidence that shows that those “drawer 3” ballots were NOT counted at MCTEC- another thing I have been pounding the table about.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is going to be a long and detailed thread, but here is the tweet to start at if you are like some “journalists” out there and you can not understand the actual FACTS in this case. This is going to give you really good background into this VERY IMPORTANT issue. This hasn’t only occurred in 2022, but also several election cycles PRIOR.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
If you remember, there was VERY limited discovery given to Lake before her trial. The day before the trial their expert Clay Parikh was able to inspect a sampling of ballots from 6 vote centers. He testified that he found 19” ballot images on 20” paper in ALL SIX of those vote centers, and it had effected 48 of 113 of the combined spoiled and duplicated ballots.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here is a key point. One of the arguments CONSTANTLY brought up over and over again here is that those spoiled ballots were duplicated, so they were counted. What I have always pointed out is that the fact pattern belies that point. Maricopa DID NOT KEEP THE DUPE with the original - so there was no way to tell how the dupe was voted. Jarrett was working with Parikh and told him he was unable to produce ANY OF the “duplicated” ballots.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here is the language the judge used in rendering his decision. It was unbelievable to me at the time given what we just went over- but much like the failure to properly adjudicate the signature matching issue, the judge failed here too. Both of these points were incorrect.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here is where the judge is looking for *intentional misconduct* and this becomes important as we go on and also for the legal argument portion of this. I will break that down in English for all of you when we get there.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
When I was watching and live streaming this trial and giving commentary, the moments we were about to detail came in SECOND to the audible “holy %#^) that came after the 19” image revelation itself. Jarret testified AT LEAST FOUR TIMES that he did not know of, NOR DID HE HEAR OF (emphasis mine) a 19” image printing on a 20” paper.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It was pretty clear what Jarrett said- and there was more. If I am not mistaken (and I am going from memory here) I believe he testified it would be *impossible* for this to happen.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The *NEXT* day, Defendants brought Jarrett back to testify. Despite what I just showed you with excerpts from the transcript of the trial, he testified that just after Election Day, Jarrett had discovered that 19” ballots were found at 3 vote centers. He alleged this was caused by onsite technicians changing printer settings to a “shrink to fit” setting (fit to print) and that Maricopa was in the middle of performing a ROOT CAUSE analysis. He stated the issue was caused by “temporary technicians”
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
When cross examined that day, Lake asked why he hadn’t disclosed this the day before, and Jarrett wiggled around the issue. He then told us that they had hid this from the public and it had happened not just in 2022 BUT ALSO The primary in August of 2020 The General in November of 2020 AND The primary in August of 2023. . .
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here is some legal argument for you. There are three (3) criteria that need to be met for this motion to succeed. 1. The newly discovered evidence could not have been discovered before the granting of judgment despite the exercise of due diligence. 2. The evidence would probably change the result of the litigation. 3. The newly discovered evidence was in existence at the time of the judgment.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This fits all three categories easily. Lake didn’t have the evidence until after Maricopa fulfilled its public record requests, the log files she DID have weren’t able to be analyzed properly in the short time she was given, and the Maricopa BOD report wasn’t made available until 4/10/23. Also, relief would let Lake produce more evidence of additional votes lost which would add to the votes at issue in the signature match case- contributing to materiality on the L&A testing.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
There was party misconduct— even if there is an omission that was an accident (not the case here) it is cause for relief. Maricopa withheld the L&A testing it did and more (it’s all coming- dont worry) The court is required to rely on presumptions favoring elections officials. The court has to ASSUME that election officials could never do anything intentionally and they are always telling the truth. (Ridiculous- I know) But when legal evidence is provided that counters that presumption guess what happens? That standard is no longer used by the court.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Also, under another rule (too much detail, you can read if you wish) some of the evidence didn’t exist at the time of trial.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
It looks like depending where you grab this from the thread is broken. Click here to pick up on the next tweet. https://t.co/YacRMCBQvM
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Maricopa didn’t test the vote center tabulators for logic and accuracy as REQUIRED by law. The system log files demonstrated that.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
THREAD: @KariLake has filed a brief in the AZ Supreme Court opposing the sanctions proposed against her for raising the argument that 35,563 ballots were unaccounted for and added to the total ballots at Runbeck. Hobbs et al had argued this was a brand new claim (false) and asked for sanctions for that reason. This was filed last week, but I was away so I am threading it now.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Lake attorney’s are asking the court to not only deny sanctions against them, but also to consider the brief they just filed as a motion for reconsideration. To read more about the weaponization of sanctions by those who wish to punish honest legal pursuits in AZ, you can read this: https://uncoverdc.com/2023/01/03/maricopa-county-corruption-now-its-your-problem-too/
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Maricopa didn’t ask for sanctions, but the other parties did. In order to request sanctions due to the provisions those parties cite, the court must find (and the lawyers must successfully argue) that they brought claim for an improper motive, or that they pressed issues that aren’t supportable by any legal theory, and for which there is no “colarable legal argument.” Both of those claims are patently false here, and a request for sanctions under these conditions is really meant as some sort of attempted “punishment.”
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Back when I was threading and detailing responses, I talked about how government actors are granted presumptions that assume they are acting in good faith. Not so for Runbeck. Respondents don’t even attempt to show any evidence rebutting the claim, and no one can argue that Lake doesn’t honestly believe that illegal votes and misconduct determined the results of the 2022 election.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This entire argument stems back to CoC issues. If proper Chain of Custody were followed, Maricopa would have known if even one ballot were inserted. They didn’t follow process or law, and Maricopa was unaware of the actual ballot totals.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This is a little confusing, but I will explain. The entire reason that Lake raised this issue in the appeal process was to answer and argument that Hobbs herself raised. It was a counter, so it obviously couldn’t have been a “brand new” claim, as Hobbs asserts. Hobbs cites two unique forms used in CoC in Maricopa, asserting that because of that process, the county would be aware of anything “injected” or “inserted.” Unfortunately for them, it was proven they weren’t. They needed Runbeck to tell them what was there, when they should have already known.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The defense (Hobbs) presented exhibits at trial. Exhibit 33 was a compilation of forms entitled “MC Incoming Scan Receipts” which is a recording from Runbeck of the number of early ballot packages it scanned for signature verification and counted on its scanners between 11/8 and 11/9. The forms recorded a total of 298,942 early ballot packages.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The next was a compilation of forms called “MC Inbound- Receipt of Delivery.” These are records created at Runbeck documenting ALL early ballots delivered to Runbeck prior to Runbeck scanning the ballots. Four witnesses, in addition to a county employee, signed these forms for Election Day deliveries after 7 AM on 11/8- verifying the estimated number of ballots delivered to Runbeck. Stay with me here.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Hobbs used these exhibits to “prove” that CoC laws were followed and that Maricopa would immediately know if a ballot were added or removed. Lake stated that she calculated the number of ballots recorded on *their* forms - dated 11/8-11/9 and noted as “Election Day” and “Election Night” And….
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
…the number of ballots recorded on the Receipt of Delivery forms… And used THEIR NUMBERS to prove the discrepancy of 35,563 ballots more scanned than received. There is no possible argument here for sanctions, or that there weren’t 33,563 MORE ballots scanned than received, and Hobbs own defense exhibit was used to prove it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
For Hobbs to be correct that Maricopa would pick up any of this immediately, they would need to know the exact number of ballots at EVERY stage in the process- which is what the law requires- however, Maricopa ADMITTED that they disregarded that requirement on Election Day because of VOLUME. They said there were too many ballots for them to follow the process.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Even if we accept their excuse that they were just “too busy” to follow the procedure, the result should be at least *close*. This is a decision usurping difference in vote totals, again, based off of their own (supposedly perfect and infallible) numbers.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
In her reply on appeal, @KariLake pointed out that the 35,563 early ballots were scanned by Runbeck, but remain unaccounted for in the receipt forms from Runbeck. This is simple math done in rebuttal to Hobbs statement that they followed CoC procedures. They used Hobbs own exhibits to come to the number…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
TO THIS DAY- no one has challenged this— they have had ample opportunity to do so. They could have done it at briefing and chose not to. Hobbs claim that this is the “first time” Lake has ever brought this claim for review is just false. It’s a lie.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As already discussed, Hobbs uses the exhibits she presented at trial as an example of how Maricopa would know every single ballot added or removed- but her own exhibits (which are the only forms available) discount her claim. She is just lying, or ignorant. You pick.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As discussed, Maricopa ADMITS they didn’t follow their own procedure, as required, instead of counting everything they just sorted, placed ballots into mail trays and sent them off. They ADMITTEDLY didn’t know how many ballots they sent off to Runbeck to be scanned. Lake was GENEROUS in her number, giving them the benefit of the doubt on the number of ballots delivered to Runbeck on Election Day.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
So we have Maricopa County admitting they have no true count of the ballots they sent off to Runbeck for signature verification, no clear chain of custody, and a discrepancy of an outcome altering number of ballots mysteriously showing up in the count, coupled with a witness who alleges she SAW PEOPLE adding votes after the fact… And these people want SANCTIONS based on nonsense that this is the “first” time this issue has been raised. It has been raised the entire time, and more specifically raised DIRECTLY IN RESPONSE to Hobbs own argument she was using to counter the chain of custody issues in the first place!
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And another thing- they are conflating ballots received *before* Election Day with the ballots being discussed here. The issue at hand is just the ballots received on Election Day and the the day after. Maricopa attempted to conflate ballots received earlier in the count— But the forms for THOSE DAYS do not lie, right Maricopa? You are 100% sure that those forms are always correct, right Maricopa, Hobbs, et al?
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Sorry for the brief delay! More, now. Maricopa is arguing that Lake misrepresented the record by comparing an *excerpt* of the exhibit to produce their 35k discrepancy. This isn’t the case.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Here, Maricopa attempts to conflate USPS votes, votes at vote centers etc and state that Delivery Forms are not for votes received at vote centers on Election Day. Unfortunately for them, the forms themselves dispute this assertion.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The rest of this argument goes on to explain how overly generous Lake was with her totals, giving the benefit of the doubt. In actuality, there were likely FAR MORE votes inserted than the final number.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
They conclude the filing with a brief argument about the motion for reconsideration, as well as the reasons why this case will move to the US Supreme Court should they not consider the law properly. Kari Lake fights on. Next, an update on where the signature claims are.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As many of you know, the AZ SC remanded the signature verification claims- namely that Maricopa DID NOT FOLLOW PROCEDURE when verifying signatures - back down to the lower court. But, there is no procedure in place for how this hearing actually happens. So, we are now waiting on guidance from the AZSC on how to proceed with that portion of things. That is separate from this, which was briefing on sanctions that the court asked the parties to file before they make a decision.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Lake’s attorneys took the opportunity to motion for reconsideration on the very claims Hobbs said she wanted sanctioned for. Gutsy (and interesting) move.

This story is one of (if not the) most important stories of our time. There are so many people out there who are unaware of the depravity that occurred with this case. There are more still who are COMPLETELY uninformed. People think that @GenFlynn went to jail. He didn't.

People think that because he initially pled guilty, he was guilty. People use things a corrupt judge said (and later corrected) to call Flynn a traitor. These people don't know anything about what actually happened. This case was a TRAVESTY of justice.

And it wasn't without debate- According to documents, Yates and other DOJ officials wanted the transcripts shared. So did DAG, DNI, and CIA.... But Comey went it alone.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Their sole goal was to ambush Flynn and try to get him to "lie" about SOMETHING. It could be ANYTHING, but they needed SOMETHING. They should've followed procedures, tell him the purpose, inform him why he was being interviewed, instead they kept it from him and McCabe…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
They went there intending to get General Flynn to lie - and they left writing down that he didn't lie about anything. Not included in the suit is how Pientka used a briefing to get a "baseline" for Flynn...
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Yates called Comey the DAY OF this interview to demand that they let the Trump admin know the contents of the calls, but it was too late, as Strzok and Pientka were already there. Yates knew this was a losing move. She knew what would happen and it wasn't worth the risk to her.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And no one can ever forget the way James Comey gloated about what he did..
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
McCabe called Flynn and downplayed any need for attorneys or formality, stating instead that it was merely to "put to bed" the Kislyak rumors in the press-- rumors his FBI had leaked in the first place. No one advised him he was the subject of an investigation. They didn't give…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This was their entire goal. After the meeting was finished, even they were forced to admit that General Flynn had not lied during the interview. He told the truth. THEY wrote it down.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
One of the key components of a 1001 charge is something called "materiality." Whatever "lie" or omission must impact an investigation for them to use this. Even if General Flynn "lied" at this meeting (he didn't), the FBI had the transcripts of the call; therefore, whatever he…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This was a large part of the DOJ having to dismiss this case against General Flynn-- and if you thought it was bad so far, I have more coming for the "BUT HE PLED GUILTY" crew. This case is a TRAVESTY.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Following the interview, it took Strzok and Pientka THREE WEEKS to submit their notes or 302's. FBI regulations require those to be submitted after 5 days. Despite the delay and controversy about them being edited and changed by Lisa Page, someone who wasn't authorized to do so,…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
And then, in comes the Special Counsel.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
On 11/30/2017, the SCO filed a criminal information against Flynn, alleging that he had intentionally omitted and denied speaking with Kislyak during the interview with Strzok and Pientka. That was a lie. It didn't happen.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
When they filed, Van Grack (US Attorney for SCO) knew it was a lie. They had notes taken at the WH meeting that his conversations with Kislyak were "legitimate." They knew there could be no materiality. They filed anyway.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Strzok and Pientka continued prosecuting and investigating Flynn even though they had certified themselves that they didn't think he lied. Intentionality would have had to be a part of it if he did lie. None of that existed.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The SCO WILLFULLY failed to disclose exculpatory information to General Flynn. They didn't provide the notes from Stzrok and Pientka showing that the FBI believed he didn't lie, they did;t share the notes from the oval, and much more. The government didn't follow its Brady…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The SCO threatened his son, Michael Flynn Jr. with prosecution unless he pled guilty. They withheld the exculpatory information, and I will say it although the filing doesn't: He retained lawyers straight out of the damn swamp who were experts in FARA - another piece of this…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
The DOJ ultimately determined that continuing the prosecution of General Flynn would not serve the interests of justice because he didn't commit any crime, and the DOJ/FBI knew it the entire time. This isn't an assumption; there are REAMS of documents proving it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
There is another story to be told here that isn't told in this filing about the FARA "violations" that really never were Two people are still being targeted by this prosecution- they have committed no crimes. I will review that at a later time.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
After 3 long years in court- after withdrawing his guilty plea and retaining new counsel, the DOJ dismissed the prosecution of General Flynn... And everyone lived happily ever after... WRONG.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
In one of the most stunning things to happen in a criminal court that I have personally ever reported on, Judge Emmett Sullivan REFUSED to approve the dismissal of prosecution!!!
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
READ EVERY WORD. The judge's "friend of the court" ended up being a wildly partisan hack who had not even weeks before penned an op-ed about the special counsel which bled his contempt for anyone or anything in Trump world. This was the most back asswards thing that I have ever…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
As the months ticked on towards the 2020 election, President Trump stepped in with something extraordinary- a "pardon of innocence." In my opinion, the judge was stalling dismissing the case because he was waiting for a Biden administration to step in-- thereby allowing them to…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
President Trump pardoned an innocent man - who the facts have shown was completely innocent and targeted by a government he pledged his life to serve - to ensure that he wasn't a target of a rogue administration should he not win the Presidency.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
General Flynn is suing the government for a minimum of $50m dollars. He deserves quadruple that amount. Any time you see someone accusing General Flynn f being a "traitor" send them to this thread. The documents are all there. They can read for themselves.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
General Flynn was not a Russian Agent. General Flynn never lied. General Flynn pled guilty because they threatened his family and withheld information that proved his innocence in contravention of the law.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
General Flynn is STILL dedicated to saving this country. He is a hero. The attorneys who are arguing this case are some of the best we have. @jbinnall is an AMAZING attorney, as is @JGreaves1787 - they are a stellar team and there are few better for this case.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
What happened to General Flynn is an absolute travesty of justice that can never happen again, but unfortunately happens all too often. Our "justice" system is irreparably broken. To help with legal fees for this case: https://www.generalflynn.com/donate/

THREAD: I am traveling right now for business, and to do this proper justice I need to be on a device other than a tablet. However, I will state a few things off the bat and provide you the full decision. You can read it here: https://www.scribd.com/document/626394886/Kari-Lake-Appellate-Decision
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
This decision is why many of us are quickly losing trust in the system. It’s lazy. And, my opinion is that it’s lazy ON PURPOSE.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Never mind the BLATANT chain of custody issues, Maricopa said it was OK to veer from procedure because of the number of voters, and their word means more than any other witness. It’s “weighted” more.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Also, never mind the fact that Maricopa couldn’t produce duplicated ballots for inspection after the 19” ballot on a 20” paper- ballots that would’ve proven the supposed “we duplicated all of the drawer 3 ballot claims” Lake wasn’t able to prove that voters didn’t have their…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Also, never mind the fact that Maricopa county didn’t perform the proper Logic and Accuracy testing— that doesn’t matter either. Court just ignored it.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Also, never mind the complete disregard shown by Maricopa county by not maintaining chain of custody documentation for 275k something ballots - they promise you the forms exist, they just can’t provide them to anyone. But, again, they have more “weight,” so THEY don’t have to…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Absolutely never mind the perjury by Richer on the stand, and the fact that Maricopa and Hobbs were attempting to hide from AZ voters that they had 19” ballots printing on 20” paper, ONLY in the places that they already knew were heavy https://www.uncoverdc.com/2023/02/08/maricopa-heat-maps-the-story-keeps-getting-worse/
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
There were 7k ballots rejected by the machines every 30 minutes from 6-8PM on Election Day, but never mind that, because as per the appellate court, Lake’s math isn’t good enough.
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
Never mind the evidence presented to the AZ senate about the absolutely ABYSMAL signature matching issues. THe court pretended Lake was arguing process for verification when she wasn’t- she was arguing they DID NOT FOLLOW process. The court lazily conflated the two and glossed…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I have every intention of doing a side by side of the actual facts, vs the absolutely LAZY opinion of this court, who frankly rejected this appeal because they are scared and dont want to deal with the fall out. It will escalate, and escalate again, and thank goodness we have a…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I am known for calling BS when I see it. I have absolutely decimated wildly popular suits in the past because they wouldn’t hold up in court. I haven’t been wrong yet on that. But this suit has evidence, it has merit, and the courts seem to want challengers to dance around some…
@tracybeanz - Tracy Beanz
I hope @KariLake runs for President. That is how I am ending this short thread. They have stolen our vote, and she stands as the last viable person with a chance to fix it.
