"Although the law requires the executive branch to report even the most sensitive covert military and intelligence operations to at least some members of Congress, there is no such disclosure requirement for PEADs, and no evidence that the documents have ever been shared with relevant congressional committees."

--issued a general warrant permitting search and seizure of persons and property;
--established military areas such as those created during World War II;
--suspended production of the Federal Register;
--declared a State of War; and
authorized censorship of news reports."
@jedi757 Fascinating...
Amazing!!! What is it you suspect was done in this case?!?!
@jedi757 who does the president give the PEAD to? Whoever he wants?
This would be an explanation why the Left is shitting themselves
@jedi757
Great post Jedi.
Excellent post.
Another action that carries more legal weight than a PEAD is a Presidential Memorandum. It also doesn't need to be published in the Federal Register.
"Because presidential memoranda may be but are not required to be tracked and published by government offices, they are difficult to trace."
@Munk @jedi757
This Congressional Research Service report is a good document that examines the different instruments the President used to execute law and protect the Nation in National Security crisis. Of note are the NSC Policy Papers of which there are several types and most do not have to be publicly disclosed.
Thanks for the link.
@jedi757
Thank you. Fabulous thread. 🇺🇸
"We know that PEADs in past years—
--authorized detention of “alien enemies” and other “dangerous persons” within the United States;
--suspended the writ of habeas corpus by presidential order;
--provided for various forms of martial law;
