What could possibly go wrong? nytimes.com/2018/09/01/us/…
Ah, "Republicans pounce," Bruce Ohr addition nytimes.com/2018/09/01/us/…
I'm pretty sure the investigation into "Trump-Russia collusion" by our betters in Congress and the FBI/DOJ has done the discrediting all by itself nytimes.com/2018/09/01/us/…
Republicans seize! nytimes.com/2018/09/01/us/…
Here's your politicization of America's intelligence apparatus in a nutshell nytimes.com/2018/09/01/us/…

Why has media/establishment made the presumed murder of an Islamist Saudi dissident in Turkey THE defining issue in US FoPo? He's being used cynically to advance its agenda -- contra Trump-Gulf-Israel partnership, pro Turkey-Qatar-Iran-Muslim Bhood.
thefederalist.com/2018/10/19/kha… THREAD
To acknowledge Khashoggi was an advocate for political Islam till the end, served as a mouthpiece for alleged al-Qaeda-tied Saudi intel chief Turki bin Faisal and had curiously close access to and mourned death of bin Laden isn't to condone alleged murder
thefederalist.com/2018/10/19/kha…
It's to recognize that narrative the media/establishment is portraying here of presumed murder of a freedom-fighting journalist to upend our entire couterjihadist, Iran containment policy in the region -- before we have any evidence -- deserves skepticism

.@aircanada quick recap of my day trying to ✈️ you MTL(YUL)->NYC:
-Get to airport 6A for 825A flight - cancelled
-Put on 350P flight (killing work day) — cancelled hrs early
-Told no other options to NY today - closest = Hartford, CT...landing hours later at 850P
-In interim...
-...friends on one of your supposedly overbooked NY flights (when I inquired as to options), btwn 825A & 350P, send pics of open seats on their flight, which gets home fine — along w/ at least one other flight in the window
-Given how late landing in Hartford w/ customs, etc...
-...only transportation option is a car — @Uber will run ~$150 on top of lost day/aggravation
-When my CC co calls to see if you’ll cover it, after hrs on phone and talking to multiple AC reps, CC rep relays AC instructions are to submit a claim that may not b answered for 5 wks

You're not alone @ByronYork. To dare to disrupt the Trump-Russia collusion narrative (regardless of intent - to investigate critical stories irrespective of how they are parsed for political purposes) is becoming a thought crime. See this re Feinstein spy
What’s going on right now is the equivalent of Left — and really the pol establishment broadly — saying “Nice little write-up of our activities there (re anything that might divert from Trump-Russia narrative/expose their abuses). Shame if you got thrown off Twitter bc of it.”
Whether on Feinstein’s 40-year China ties — the broader context for spy in her office story — and her links to Fusion GPS, or @ByronYork’s reporting on Clinton-Fusion-Obama Russia collusion to try and prove Trump Russia collusion, you have to ask what the would-be censors fear?

THREAD! 1-A number of experts are saying the recent @nytimes @ScottShaneNYT @MarkMazzettiNYT BIG #Trump-#Russia piece is one of the best pieces of journalism in recent years, and IT SURE IS. I had three levels of reaction to this as someone who has closely analyzed this topic.
2-1st, I was OVERJOYED that 1 of the best newspapers FINALLY gave 2 of their best journalists go-ahead & space to cover the #Trump-#Russia the only way it can be properly understood: a deep-dive detailed look at big, overall picture over time. Our society is better off for it!
3-2nd, I was SUPER frustrated generally cuz, 2+ years after topic should've obvi been covered this way only @NYTimes among biggest outlets has done this. W/ smaller respected outlets. Even 1 year into it only @aminterest/@submergingmkt, @newrepublic/@craigunger had. Circa 0 since

1-I should really have done this a few days ago, but better late than never, right?

Keep this in mind when people tell you how evil you are for being a #Trump Supporter, how #SarahSanders shouldn't be allowed to dine with her family due to her political views.
2-Let's talk about Nathan Larson and his political views. Mr. Larson runs for public office in the US State of Virginia, and apparently has been doing so since 2008 (with little results) under #Libertarian Party & currently #Independent Party
3-Mr. Larson just happened to have served a 14 month jail term due to an act of ‘civil disobedience’, which in this particular case, means threatening to kill the president (#Bush, at the time), but seems #Obama would have done as well
