FBI/DOJ in May 2017

MCCABE: We need to investigate the President

ROSENSTEIN: What do you want me to do Andy, wear a wire?

STRZOK: My concern is there's "no big there there"*

*(That last one is a May 19 text, just put in context with @nytimes and @washingtonpost reporting)
If STRZOK, the FBI's lead counterintelligence investigator says there is "no big there there" to Trump/Russia Collusion - EVEN AFTER COMEY WAS FIRED...

...what is the Deputy/Acting FBI Director doing talking about investigating the President with the Deputy Attorney General? 🤔
Interesting - so in May 2017 Andrew McCabe is talking about investigating the President with Rod Rosenstein

One month later - June 2017 - McCabe signs a FISA renewal on @carterwpage and brings it to Rosenstein

Rosenstein also signs it, apparently without reading it 🤔
RR as Deputy Attorney General supervises the FBI component of the DOJ

He thought a FISA signed by McCabe was legit when he knew McCabe was desperate to investigate the President?

CC: @SarahFloresDOJ - any explanation for that?

Announcement expected Friday —> Trump Bars Immigrants Who Cross Border Illegally From Seeking Asylum nyti.ms/2yZaV5e?smid=n…
Here is the DOJ/DHS interim rule

Reading this it suggests the President will issue a Proclamation barring asylum from any aliens that do not present themselves at a port of entry — bye bye Caravan

justice.gov/opa/pr/doj-and…
"The AG and DHS Secretary have determined [that] authority should be exercised to render ineligible for a grant of asylum any alien who is subject to a proclamation suspending or restricting entry along the southern border with Mexico but who nonetheless enters the US..."

So far Whitaker as Acting AG is opposed by all the right people. Shumer, Nadler, Schiff

Good pick @realDonaldTrump
Eric Swalwell and Ted Lieu too. The dream team of opposition
Add Feinstein to the list 💯

"[Rosenstein] was hired by Jeff Sessions. I was not involved in that process because, you know, they go out and they get their own deputies, and the people that work in that department and Jeff Sessions hired him."

2. I post this interview because so many people keep claiming some ridiculous 3-d chess strategy around Trump hiring Rosenstein etc.
3. President Trump brought the CEO perspective to the White House. Part of that perspective is to let Department Executive Officers (ie. cabinet members) select their own deputies.

Is @NYtimes playing into the latest Mueller Russia probe assault by attacking Rosenstein? Story claims he suggested wearing a wire to record Trump for 25th Amendment purposes. Someone else said it was sarcasm. He denies it, adding there’s no need for Am25. nyti.ms/2xxNdwl?smid=n…
CNN @EvanPerez just now: Rosenstein has a good relationship w/ Trump, after early chaotic weeks. People around Trump don’t want him to make matters worse by firing Rosenstein before Mueller is done. They’re likely telling him now, ‘don’t listen to McCabe. He has an axe to grind.’
“Well, what do you want me to do, Andy, wear a wire?”—Rosenstein joked about secretly recording Trump during an argument w/ Acting FBI Dir Andrew McCabe, one week after shocking firing of Comey (followed by bizarre Oval Office welcome to Russian officials)nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

(1) #DOS #FBI #DOJ #USMIL know exactly what weapons were used on the #Diplomats in #Cuba and #China.

Indeed, one can buy them here in the USA on the internet, and the #DirectedEnergyWeapons platform(s) governments have at their disposal are even more sophisticated.
(2) These weapons can be deployed from satellites, aircraft, and vehicles.

They can be mounted on towers and structures, and and also come in hand-held models.

Unfortunately folks, as the #FBI #DHS #NSA #DIA #GIA #USMIL already know, #5G "communications" systems ....
(3) can be weaponized to do the same damage that the more portable units can do. These systems go by a variety of names and operate via a variety of electromagnetic and radiological mechanisms.

They also have devastating physical, psychological and physiological effects ....

1/ Whenever I ask for evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, I get this circular-reasoning response:
How do you know that there was no collusion?
My answer: I'm NOT claiming there was no collusion, but I see #ZEROEvidence that Trump colluded. SHOW me your EVIDENCE!
2/ If I were to claim that you murdered someone, I would need to provide evidence of this. My claim does not make it have some sort of merit. If you insist you did not do this and want me to stop pushing such as accusation in public b/c it really did not happen, that makes sense.
3/ Would an innocent person remain silent in the face of a massive campaign by those who don't like that person making unsubstantiated claims? Would they not want to put an end to it? If I were #Trump, I would want this thing shut down too as it looks to be a witch hunt.

#WhyWeResist (THREAD) Renowned spiritual leader John Neuhas once said:
"Genuine #tolerance does not mean ignoring differences as if differences made no difference. Genuine tolerance means engaging differences w/in a bond of #civility & #respect." #CampaignforCivility 1/
Neuhas was not completely right. #Fascists, #WhiteSupremacists, Nazis, bigots, etc. lambast progressives for not tolerating their views. But hateful extremists use #tolerance merely as a tool to gain acceptance & obtain power. #CampaignforCivility #WhyWeResist 2/
Once fascists & bigots are in power, they vilify all who are different, all who dare to disagree. They only care about one thing: consolidating their power. #CampaignforCivility #WhyWeResist 3/
