THREAD. IG report on Midyear exam was not the end-it was beginning. Here's what's to come. @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2018/06/19/ig-…
Yesterday, @JohnWHuber highlighted how Horowitz's testimony confirms the real Huber has already been empaneled a grand jury (or possibly one in D.C./Virginia depending on venue).
But biggest take-away which I have not yet seen reported is this: The IG report CONFIRMS that before September, Page, Strzok & McCabe were running the show--they had sidestepped Priestap. That is KEY to understanding Spygate.
The decision to spy on Trump campaign BEFORE official launch of Crossfire Hurricane, decision to launch Crossfire Hurricane. ALL. OF. IT. Is on the threesome.

THREAD This question made me think. I immediately responded "Beat Hillary," but I think for those with TDS it is really "was elected President." And that is what I think separates the #NeverTrump folks who have TDS and those who don't! I don't hate Trump. And I don't resent
2/ him being elected President. I always said "I will be devastated if Hillary wins or Trump doesn't lose." In retrospect, I was wrong, if only because of the courts...but in reality he has many more conservative victories. BUT even if he didn't, TDS is based on a prideful
3/ anger prompted because Trump is president. And for those claiming to be Republicans or conservatives who suffer from TDS, it is far more untethered than any anger they had b/c Obama was elected President over McCain, proving pride, envy, and anger, truly kill the soul. END

THREAD: First important point to recognize is the question posed here--it is NOT whether a Special Counsel can be constitutionally appointed, but rather whether Mueller has in practice been given such unfettered authority that he is acting as "principal officer," which under 1/
2/ constitution requires Senate confirmation. Initially, then, the panel will need to set some standard to judge how much authority is too much. I'd guess judges would establish a test that focuses on authority US attorneys have, and supervision by DOJ they are subject to and
3/ ask if theoretically and in practice, Mueller has the same/similar authority and has been subjected to same/more/less supervision. BUT after establishing the test, I highly doubt the panel can apply it: The court will need to remand to the lower court for record to be

THREAD: Some thoughts on Mattis resignation: I'm a hawk and prefer Mattis' views to Trump; Trump ran on a contrary view & is CIC; I don't know what strategy is & whether achievable; I wish Mattis were still there; I'd wager that 50% criticizing Trump truly disagree w/ Mattis 1/
2/ and wish he were out, except Trump; Mattis did it right, unlike Yates who refused to resign & instead grandstanded to the applause of Mueller's pitbull Weissmann; thankfully French forces are coming in to take over; French coming in will help Trump b/c he'll claim we don't
3/ need to expend our blood & money & that others need to do their fair share; he's not wrong; we will never be able to repay sacrifices of our men and women in the services and their families; what is solution to Syria at this point? No idea, but the fake redline get us here.

Yesterday's indictment is a major signal that we're nearing the end of the #TrumpRussia prologue.

I interviewed @Mimirocah1 about the story which she said indicates that "prosecutors are putting the pieces together."

I agree.

Here's my $0.02.

Why is Natalia Veselnitskaya's link to the Kremlin so important?

1 - SDNY provides Mueller with apolitical evidence sent from the target that predates all investigations.
2 - Proves Don Jr. met a Kremlin Agent
3 - Burns the Russian prosecution against @Billbrowder

2/
Natalia Veselnitskaya had been working on the Prevezon case for years, but in 2014 she involved herself drafting of the official response to the DoJ's invocation of a treaty for legal assistance.

She sent the evidence that she worked with the Kremlin to SDNY prosecutors.

NIGERIA IS CHANGING...REALLY??! 🙄 | One of the reasons why I visit developed countries is that I'm fascinated by good. I am captivated by people who value beauty, knowledge and order for their own intrinsic worth. #Thread
Like Aristotle once argued, knowledge can be an end in itself and can provide joy in itself. Developed nations get that. Libraries are not wasted spaces. They exist to both delight and train minds. Museums, galleries and parks are not optional. People fight to preserve them.
When things break down in those countries, the default response is to repair them. Things work because they should work, not because there is always a financial reward. The people have embraced a value system that makes it so.

This news of $600m walking away is FALSE, Matthew, and a wild and baseless allegation like this undermines your bona fides as a Nigeria expert. And I’m going to show you why it’s fake news — the ECA Balance is not a secret, the balance is published every month.
#Thread
ECA Balance:

13 Dec 2017: $2.317 billion (this was when NEC approved the release of $1bn for security: premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines…)

14 Feb 2018: $2.317 billion

23 April 2018: $1.829 billion — this is when the money for the Super Tucanos was taken out: $2.317bn–$1.829bn= $488m
ECA Balance (Cont’d)

26 June 2018: $1.916bn

16 July 2018: $1.918bn

14 Aug 2018: $2.250bn

16 Oct 2018: $2.090bn

25 Nov 2018: $2.319bn

And then the latest news: the withdrawal of Paris Club Refund Balance from the ECA.

So:

19 Dec 2018: $631m [channelstv.com/2018/12/20/nig…]

#Thread on #Georgia's runoff for the Public Service Commission — one of those offices you don't think much about. salon.com/2018/12/04/geo…
The Public Service Commission controls Georgia Power — a racketeering enterprise masquerading as an electric company. They are building the first nuclear power station in America in 40 years, which is years late and billions over budget. #Georgia #GeorgiaRunoffElection
#StacyAbrams had the guts to say Georgians shouldn’t pay for this radioactive boondoggle. Dem Lindy Miller sided with Abrams against this meltdown in the making. She’s running against the GOP incumbent who’s campaign is funded by #Georgia power and its parent Southern Company.

How To Create (or Find) A Hot Product or Service and Make Millions Selling It

#Thread.
You want to make money with your proposed business?

Before you even think of an idea, there are things you must be mindful of.

1. Choose an industry or sector that you will enjoy, genuinely want to help in or wouldn't mind working in.
In order words, choose an industry that wouldn't make you want to put a gun in your mouth and blow your brains out.

An industry is just a collection of different pockets (markets) of people.
I was privileged to know the late Mr. Isaac Durojaiye, founder of DMT Mobile Toilets.

1. Want to thank folks for reading my recent story about Esieh Lake, a strange lake in the Arctic that’s bubbling up lots of methane, and the scientists led by Katey Walter Anthony of @UAFairbanks, who are trying to plumb its secrets. washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/… … #thread
2.Here, I’m hoping to share a little more about the story, and some photos and charts.
3. We were intrigued by this study by Walter Anthony and her colleagues on Arctic thermokarst lakes, formed as permafrost thaws, and the major punch they could deliver to the climate system, since they thaw to considerable depths and unleash methane. nature.com/articles/s4146…
