While U Wait for the Mueller Memo: Read @dburbach’s splendid review of Flynn’s (with Barbara Leeden) book “Field of Fight” for Naval War College Review, Vol 71 digital-commons.usnwc.edu/cgi/viewconten…
While U Wait: Let’s play how quickly can you find Flynn’s book on Alexander Nix’s bookshelf at ye olde SCL headquarters in London?
While U Wait: Let’s revisit Flynn’s election post-mortem for (Mercer-backed) YAF org on 11/14/2016.

While U Wait: Remembering that Russian grad student at Cambridge U spy seminar that captivated Misha Flynn, yeah the one in Luke Harding’s book
Here’s Flynn’s sentencing memo assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5425…
Summary: He sang. Leniency urged for early and productive cooperation in likely 3 separate investigations, including Trump-Russia collusion probe, and one uncharged (?). Singing led to other cooperating witnesses. Details redacted. Also FARA was made to catch Flynn’s secret work.

First President to engage in memetic warfare while holding a million federal employees and contractors hostage.
Trolling is Trump doctrine, leveraging Kremlin and DARPA methods.
The GoT wall meme is an intricately layered “in-group” cultural signifier. At the core it’s Trumpists vs everyone else, Us vs Them anti-immigration, those who get Game of Thrones reference vs those who don’t, those who spread meme to endorse it vs those who spread meme in dissent

USA needs a GDPR. Europe is decades ahead of us and the next Congress needs to catch up. The FTC has clearly failed to protect America’s personal data. Our approach to privacy was a mistake. Time to admit it. Time to get serious.
When we discovered that US voter data was processed by Cambridge Analytica in the UK we realized we could complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. There is no such equivalent in the US. What if Cambridge Analytica hadn’t exported our data to UK?
My personal highlight of 2018: Realizing the work of 2017 had paid off. The world’s first criminal prosecution of Cambridge Analytica is because a simple filing with the UK ICO. Turns out, my Independence Day. Essentially, why is a British company interfering with my elections?

In this 2015 paper for NATO StratCom journal edited by a PSYOPs and TAA veteran from SCL, Giesea advocates for meme warfare, opening his essay by valorizing mega-troll Chuck C Johnson who was eventually investigated by the Senate Intelligence Committee. stratcomcoe.org/jeff-giesea-it…
In this May 2017 tweet, Steve Tatham of SCL (Iota Global), veteran of British Military PSYOPs, banter about TAA as a strategy for meme warfare.
Alas, the British military connections between Brexit and Trump just didn’t get the same sensational traction as a Reid Hoffman-funded disinfo test in Alabama. buzzfeednews.com/article/thomas…

A few thoughts on DC Circuit decision re mystery subpoena. @S_R_Anders @qjurecic @YesMomsCan @kpolantz @dsamuelsohn @joshgerstein @lrozen @ZoeTillman @AndyMcCanse @joshtpm @bradheath @JoyceWhiteVance @chrisgeidner @normative @jedshug @kylegriffin1 lawfare.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staging/2018/3… 1/
The panel indicates that a more detailed opinion will follow; meanwhile, it drops hints about the arguments raised, including “historical sources suggest[ing] that foreign sovereigns might have been able to raise an immunity defense in a criminal case.” 2/
Historically, immunity defenses were raised on behalf of foreign officials (from both criminal and civil proceedings) and foreign ships (from in rem proceedings). repository.uchastings.edu/cgi/viewconten… The 3-page opinion doesn’t tell us what “historical sources” the defendant raised here. 3/

Since people keep raising the DF-21/ASBM bogey despite the fact that most navies are pretty dismissive of the weapon, I thought it would be a good idea to do a thread on why the threat is far overblown.
To see why, it is first important to understand the concept of a "kill chain". It is a system of sensors, command posts, and communications networks that allow a weapon to be directed at a target. The basic kill chain comprises of elements that, in succession, do the following:
- Detect a target. This could be an entire task force or a specific vessel within a task force.
- Identify the target.
- Generate a target track.
- Communicate targeting information to the launch platform.
- Launch the weapon.
- Guide the weapon to the target.

As a former federal prosecutor who has watched the "SCO" with more than casual knowledge of their "prosecutorial terrorist tactics," their case against @GenFlynn was bullshit and would never had been brought if he had not worked for @realDonaldTrump
#Flynn has served this country with the highest honor and distinction his entire life. Not a single tyranical prosecutor hiding behind #Mueller's title could hold a candle to Flynn on any field & would not dare challenge him were it a fair fight. Alas this is not. As prosecutors
thay have the power to destroy any and every life they want with the stroke of a pen on an indictment, on a false search warrant, on a phony FISA warrant, through made up news stories--we've seen it all now. No one can really fight back when the full

I have this "thing". It really bothers me when the people, who are supposed to be served by their representatives over donor money, have documents withheld for a SCOTUS appointment.

So - stay tuned for a big Kavanaugh document dump.

I took a train down to Alexandria last week to watch a couple days of the Manafort trial. Yahoo News asked me to write about it. And I did. Then they asked me to publish it under my real name. And I agreed to. yahoo.com/news/3-missing…
Figure a bit of an FAQ is in order and I’ll get to that in a moment. First, quite a few people—my family, friends, colleagues, sometimes rivals—knew and kept this secret far longer than I had any right to expect. I’m grateful to them all and honored by their faith and kindness.
Ok, FAQ: My first name really is quite similar to my last. The name has been passed from father to son in my family for 8 generations (I know). I practiced 9y in biglaw, but resigned end of 2017 to work on a project of my own which remains undisclosed for now. I am left handed.

1) Disturbing to me in #Mueller indictments was allegation of #Russia plant of #IaCaucus #Fraud stories. That broke the back of the party in #Iowa 4 2016 cycle. Caused mass party switches to independent in some parts of #IA. Remember #DemExit? #TrumpRussia #IaPolitics #IaDem
When #DemExit on #twitter & #FB was ongoing, I had a face2face discussion in #Fairfield of voter registration changes at the #JeffersonCounty court house. There were quite a few -- a direct consequence of #Bernie people being angry cuz they had seen SM fraud stories. #IaPolitics
3) I really saw damage from #TrumpRussia #IaCaucusFraud allegations in Oct 2016 going door-to-door in #Fairfield. The #DemVoter lists were "squishy." Lots of changed parties, lots of discussion of the #IaCaucus allegations of fraud and not voting #IaDem. #Mueller #iapolitics
