EXCLUSIVE: MAJOR HASAN CIVILIAN LAWYER REACTS John Galligan, who among others has been the civilian attorney for Major Nidal Hasan since 2009, addressed his concerns about the notification process: - Galligan said he was "surprised the Army would proceed with such dispatch to execute Hasan" given the failed execution of Christa Pike - Galligan said he believes the notification to Hasan of the President’s decision to authorize execution apparently violated Army regulations - Galligan says Hasan had no civilian, criminal or Trial Defense Service (TDS) lawyer present, as required by the Army regulations, for the notification process AR 190-55 U.S. ARMY CORRECTIONS SYSTEM: PROCEDURES FOR MILITARY EXECUTIONS Subsection 2-1 g. When the CMDT, USDB initially notifies the prisoner of the presidential decision to execute the prisoner’s death sentence, the CMDT will be accompanied by a chaplain, a Trial Defense Service (TDS) attorney or the prisoner’s civilian counsel (if reasonably available). - Galligan says Hasan was notified at approximately 7pm the execution had been approved - Galligan says he personally informed Hasan of the December execution date and location (Fort Hood) as well as the manner of execution by firing squad - Galligan questions why the Army would transport Hasan, who is in a wheelchair and paralyzed from waist down, from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Hood for the execution - Hasan has been on death row at Fort Leavenworth for more than a decade - Galligan described “the transfer for execution as political theatre” and a “rush to execute Hasan” who he says has severe medical issues. - Galligan also questions why President Biden gave countless pardons, including a preemptive pardon for Dr. Fauci, but apparently did not consider military personnel on death row including his client - Galligan speculated that the alleged violation of Army regulations was unlikely to delay the execution, but said the process was “off to a very bad start” - Galligan added that they are attempting to get Army legal assistance to finalize legal issues, including a will and disposition of remains, prior to execution - I have asked DoW for a response to the claims and will keep you updated

NEW: @MarshaBlackburn Vs. Jack Smith Lawsuit Allegations - Defendant Smith violated @MarshaBlackburn's privileges under the Speech or Debate clause of the constitution - Secret subpoena for her Verizon call records - Defendant Smith violated Blackburn’s constitutional rights by denying her the opportunity to assert privilege over her phone records - Defendant Smith's appointment as "Special Counsel" violated the appointments clause NOTE: At least 20 members of Congress, all GOP, also impacted. Plus, roughly 400 Republican individuals and organizations. In addition to Speech or Debate clause, Fourth Amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government FALSE NARRATIVE: The conventional narrative is that the collection of toll records or so-called metadata is not intrusive. This is false. Toll records include the specific number of the person making the call, the number of the person receiving it as well as date, time and duration. Former FBI agents have told me this data can be more revealing than the content of the calls themselves. Toll records map a target’s network of contacts and the strength of those relationships. TIMING: - Complaint filed one day after Smith's testimony @SenJudiciaryGOP about the collection of lawmakers phone records and texts More after the jump New Civil Liberties Alliance @NCLAlegal

.@SenEricSchmitt tells Jack Smith that he may think he is the hero of this story, but "You will go down as a total dirt bag" - Smith seemed off balance, taken a back, when Schmitt said he was bringing receipts, tells hearing he has memo/transcripts and texts August 2024 – Schmitt asks Smith if he was advised NOT to file superseding indictment against President Trump by the DOJ Public Integrity Section - Schmitt said Public Integrity warned it would be a violation of the 60 day rule which bars such actions that close to an election - Reminds Smith he is under oath Schmitt says he has text message from Smith's team that Jack Smith was in Atlanta FEB 2024 one day after DA Fani Willis admitted relationship with Nathan Wade "Take a second to process, not to perjure yourself"
