   AS XITTER’S LAWYER STALLED DOJ, ELON MUSK MET WITH JIM JORDAN (TWICE!) AND KEVIN MCCARTHY

   August 17, 2023/51 Comments/in 2020 Presidential Election, Hunter Biden, January 6 Insurrection /by emptywheel

   Elon Musk has been eerily quiet about being held in contempt by Beryl Howell since the DC Circuit opinion was first released on August 9.

   It’s not like him to pass up the opportunity to make an obnoxious comment.

   Which is why I’m interested in what Musk was doing during the period when Xitter’s counsel was stalling on the DOJ request — including a visit to Kevin McCarthy on January 26.

   Beryl Howell approved the warrant on January 17. After several failed attempts, the government served it to the official portal on January 19. But then Xitter’s senior-most legal person stalled for 12 days, until she told DOJ that Xitter was going to make a First Amendment challenge so Trump could invoke executive privilege.
