ACTIVITY
UpdatedOperations received a 24-hour instruction to leave the landscape where it was.
Who told the Trees to GO??
Legal began locating someone authorized to explain the urgency.
I like a Golf Course that looks like a Golf Course, ROOM, a beautiful View! Now a National Discussion about every Tree, nobody can tell me who told the Crew..... very poor Telling!
The project calendar now includes notice to the judge as an actual task.
Call the Lawyer BEFORE the Chainsaw! Don't want to hear it from the Judge.
I know where I want the fairway.
The inquiry concerns representations to the court.
A Special Master, sounds like a very good golfer. Does he know bunkers? Because I have people explaining the plan, other people explaining why the plan wasn't a plan, nobody discussing the actual grass. I could have played eighteen by now.
A consistent documentary record is required.
Put my drawing next to their explanation.
The public statements will remain in chronological order.
Yes, chronology. I want it chronologically goodly, no moving Tuesday behind Friday because Friday has a nicer answer.
PUBLIC RECORD
On October 12, Judge Ana Reyes halted East Potomac tree cutting for 24 hours after criticizing the government’s conduct over the holiday weekend. AP reported that the pause could extend to 14 days while officials explain the operation’s urgency and limited notice. October 31 update: AP reported October 30 that Judge Ana Reyes said she intended to appoint a special master to investigate administration statements about East Potomac Golf Links. Officials had struggled to confirm plans described in Trump's posts; DOJ subsequently acknowledged plans. Trump proposed a November 15 start and 15-month closure. The inquiry is not a finding that officials lied, and the proposed schedule is not a completed redevelopment.
