Remind me—which FBI office was leaking like a sieve to Giuliani etc about the HRC investigation during the 2016 election?

Deep cuts
Since Trump’s not allowed to make threats, he had to dig deep for his Saturday night rally:
Trump: When you go into these new homes with showers, the water drips down slowly. You have suds.. beautiful nice wonderful suds. A lot of money. Proctor and Gamble. All that crap that they sell. It takes you 10 minutes to wash your hair pic.twitter.com/2ex0FZsDxr

Ha ha
Judge Chutkan is not taking any shit from Big Mango:
That Truth Social post is real. A day after being in court, Trump is issuing threats. Don't treat this as normal or just his usual performance art. pic.twitter.com/vwXTsC5btP

The special counsel just alerted the court to Trump's threat-tweet in a motion asking the court for a protective order so it can begin providing discovery. There would be serious consequences for Trump if he violates the order. If he keeps it up, he's got to end up in jail. pic.twitter.com/2e9FlrZEog

No crime-ing!
Judge tells Trump, "To Trump at 4:26 pm, you have heard your conditions of release. It is important you comply. You may be held pending trial in this case if you violate conditions of release. pic.twitter.com/imC0rJLq0K

The judge has just warned Trump that he may be held pending trial in this case if he violates the conditions of release, which includes not speaking to any direct witnesses except through counsel.
This could get dicey. #TrumpArraignment

“Unless someone tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status. We’ll have mug shots ready for you.”

In Georgia even the Governor cannot pardon. And it looks like Giuliani, Eastman, Kraken Lady & Sen Lindsey Graham will all have their FIRST criminal convictions in Georgia – imagine Georgia STATE PRISON
Trump am not sure, Manhattan or Jack Smith might be faster than Fani Willis

About those documents

Probably the latter
Trump indictment describes but does not charge 6 co-conspirators. Cooperators? Or is Jack Smith laser-focused on getting the case against Trump tried quickly? https://t.co/jA6ebTbdSS

And so on
This is important. The indictment explicitly says Trump and his co-conspirators continued trying to corruptly subvert the election outcome *while the mob attacked the Capitol,* in an effort to exploit the violence: pic.twitter.com/lvDk1jStwY

Six unnamed co-conspirators
UPDATE: No. 6 seems to be Boris Epshteyn.
Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark, Kenneth Chesebro. Other sources name the political consultant as Jason Miller. Haha, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!

Four charges in Trump indictment
Jack Smith told a simple story in the 1/6 indictment:
1. Trump knew he lost but employed various schemes to cling to power
2. Then, he pressured Pence to obstruct Congress on 1/6
3. When all else failed, he exploited the violence of 1/6

Very proud to live in a country where an ex-president can be held to account for his (alleged) crimes. Very dismayed to live in a country where that same ex-president will almost certainly be the nominee of his party again and could return to office. https://t.co/BviyPfoEOS
