@rparloff.bsky.socialLawfare Live: Ex-FBI Analysts Charged Over Lying to Congress Hearing Dispatch - YouTube With @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org , @rparloff.bsky.social , and @annabower.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zvT...
Show PostFollowing the hearing in the criminal case of former FBI analysts charged with lying to Congress, @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org will sit down with @annabower.bsky.social and @rparloff.bsky.social to discuss the 3-day preliminary hearing. youtube.com/live/-zvTxp7...
Show PostBut that’s not even a huge deal compared to what Witt said on cross. It’s not just that Castor wasn’t present for Benavides’ testimony… Castor also apparently told Witt that HE DID NOT READ A TRANSCRIPT OF BENAVIDES’ TESTIMONY. Which makes this part of the superseding affidavit completely nuts!
Show PostIs it possible that Witts misunderstood, or that something got lost in translation? Sure. DOJ can deal w/ that on re-direct. But after the hearing I conferred with my colleagues in the media room to make sure I’d heard correctly. And I did: Witts testified that Castor didn’t read the transcript.
Show PostAlso I know my brain is broken and I need some sleep because I just realized I called him “Witts” in this thread. It’s Witt! Not Witts. Definitely not @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org bsky.app/profile/anna...
