STRZOK to tell lawmakers under oath that bias played no role in his actions. Excerpts from his statement:
Strzok will also emphasize that he was one of very few people who knew the details of the Russia investigation, which had the potential to destroy Trump’s candidacy — but leaking it “never crossed my mind.”
The STRZOK line that will *infuriate* House Republicans:

“I truly believe that today’s hearing is just another victory notch in Putin’s belt and another milestone in our enemies’ campaign to tear America apart.”
NEW: Strzok will be part regretful, part defiant in his first public appearance since his role in the Russia investigation became an obsession of @realDonaldTrump.

And he’ll say under oath that his personal views never affected his work.

Almost every aspect of this is untrue.
There’s no evidence Mueller’s team did anything except follow DOJ policy when it reissued Strzok and Page’s phones to new agents. There texts were reviewed and deemed immaterial, per IG report. oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/i…

Gowdy and Goodlatte acknowledge they essentially didn’t get to finish their investigation of the FBI and DOJ, ask successors and GOP senators to continue investigating.
They launched it in Oct 2017. Dems say they don’t intend to continue it, calling it a partisan effort to undermine Mueller.
Note the cc list includes Graham, the next Senate Judiciary Committee chairman. Excludes Schiff despite including Nunes and Dems.

BREAKING: The FBI *deputy director* is directly rebuffing a GOP request to vet/redact witness transcripts by Christmas Eve -- a deadline he says is not possible without risking classified info.

He, not too subtly, notes the "legal requirement" they have not to disclose such info
GOP lawmakers, who will be giving up power in the House next month, sent 3,400 pages of witness interviews for FBI on Wednesday, according to FBI.

"Your committee has not afforded the FBI the time necessary" to review by Christmas Eve -- which he notes in italics.
"Moreover, given the nature of the topics covered with the witnesses ... the transcripts ... may contain classified information."

Calls for full review by FBI, DOJ and Special Counsel Mueller's team, "as appropriate."

People who refused to help push this hashtag #StopTheBias or petition are now taking credit for Potus using it & bringing awareness to it. They claim that it was blue checkmark " influencers" that made it happen, not the #MAGA Coalition. Facts below!

The #MAGA Coalition did this , not a few blue checkmarks who now want to take credit. #StopTheBias

Thank you Irma for being on the front lines ! #StopTheBias

Love the #MAGA Coalition

People used to believe that trust between people was a thing of the past and that machines would mediate it (Klout). This is not true of course. We paid Rodolfo for a ColdCard (with Bitcoin), because he can be trusted. We know this because his reputation is second to none.
Bitcoin is not going to fix anything other than the money, and that is more than enough to change everything, if it does only that. You will still have to trust people, get a feel for them, go one their past performance and all the other social cues that will never go away.
Solving one problem at a time, especially if its a narrow problem, is a good way to build a sound foundation. Do one thing, do it very well, change everything. Lets Encrypt is a good example of that, and so is @BtcpayServer Both of these are significant.

On This Day. 1973: A Watergate bombshell: Testifying before Senate investigators, a former Nixon administration official, Alexander Butterfield, confirmed the existence of an extensive White House taping system /1
Butterfield—who for a time was President Nixon’s deputy chief of staff—was one of the few people who knew of the taping system, because he told the Secret Service to install it. Had it not been for Butterfield, the Nixon tapes - his undoing - might never have been known
On This Day. 1985: Ronald Reagan transferred presidential power to Vice President George H.W. Bush for eight hours - while Reagan underwent surgery to remove a cancerous polyp /1

1. #QAnon: Senate Intel w Brennan, Clapper, & Rogers now on Intel Comm Assessmnt (ICA) of Russians in election . Comey a no-show. ADM Rogers'd refused 2endorse ICA. Strzok (PS) wrote it. Cleaning out FBI/DOJ 1st then CIA/State. Nunes/Gowdy future roles? #Q theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/05/15/inv…
2. #QAnon suggests we "follow the pen." @POTUS's already written orders to release all. Today Rep Jordan tweeted the request to auth release of DOJ docs. Visible letters in #Q's May 10 pic of pen with filename "DOJNUNESRELEASE" will match WH release order.
3. #QAnon affirms that 90 days before 2016 election, #Strzok's visit to London on #Comey's orders for "#CrossfireHurricane" was for Strzok to collude with UK's Secret Intel Svc (SIS, ie, MI6) to subvert US election via collusion with foreign nations.

So, let's talk about Devin Nunes for a minute...

<thread>
So to summarize why Devin Nunes is in the news (again): He is leading a group of Republicans who are conducting a secret investigation of the DOJ/FBI. One of the things they are focused on is the "Steele Dossier."

1/
Devin Nunes & his little gang of sleuths are trying to discredit the entire investigation, in part by claiming that the Steele dossier:
1) Was Dem. oppo research
2) Prompted the FBI to start looking into Trump's ties to Russia

...and thus the whole thing is biased.

Very few people acknowledge that our entire culture was built on sexual violence and rape, especially of black and indigenous women. #MeToo
But people don't want to talk about intersectionality, so they ignore the foundational role of sexual violence toward black/indigenous women
Of course, widespread sexual violence toward women across the globe predates chattel slavery and settler colonialism..
