Join in for a peaceful day of silencing the madness.
Spread the good word.

The one-day #TrumpBlackout will do us all a world of good.

There are a couple of things gnawing at me about my Fri nt thread on the NYT’s FBI counterintelligence investigation.

In my breathless stream o’ consciousness, I closed with a few tweets about Obama signing an Executive Order that “supercharged” the FBI’s investigation.

1/
The thread has gone a bit viral and has been blowing up my notifications.

Among the feedback, there was some strong criticism/outright rejection of the Obama EO parts by people who are expert in nat. security, the NSA, etc.

I take that criticism very seriously.

2/
The main thrust of the criticisms were:

1) The revised guidelines Obama signed had been in discussion for years

2) The executive order was not hastily written

3) It was not written or signed because of Trump or to specifically empower an investigation into him.

The thing about counterintel investigations is that they sweep up conversations between minor players talking among themselves.

The folks on the edges talk to each other.

They send txts and emails and make phone calls thinking they’re outside the sphere of scrutiny.

1/
An active counterintel investigation means the Trump Administration’s crimes were only as secure as the weakest link in their weakest moment.

We got hints of this early. Our intelligence folks picked up “signals intelligence” or SigInt from Russians talking to Russians.

2/
Those “signals” aren’t the kind of evidence that finds its way into a courtroom. In fact, it’s important that it doesn’t. It would burn sources and methods.

It lays out the crimes and the players though... and then prosecutors find ways to make triable cases other ways.

Holy cow. This NY Times story is just littered with seismic earth-shakers sure to rattle the windows at the White House.

Yowza. My very quick first-blush take on the meaty nuggets...

First, here’s the link:

Let’s dive in!

1/
In the days after Comey’s firing, the FBI opened a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE investigation of Trump himself.

WOW!

Unlike the initial Trump-Russia investigation (which was looking primarily at events in 2016), the counterintel investigation was basically surveillance in 2017+.

2/
Naturally, deciding to basically turn your national security and intelligence magnifying glasses on the President of the United States is a BIG DEAL.

The FBI didn’t enter into it lightly.

I've been looking into AllToKnow . com and found that it links to Seabeco... This article about the “voucher privatization” of Gazprom (sold off for $230 million, despite possessing 1/3 of known global gas reserves) makes fascinating reading the-american-interest.com/2016/12/19/the… @karaswisher

In 1994–96, under the infamous “loans-for-shares” program, Russia privatized 150 state-owned companies for just $12 billion, most of which was loaned to a handful of well-connected buyers by the state—and indirectly by the World Bank and the IMF

🇺🇸New #QAnon Thread🇺🇸

Patriots Fight

New #QAnon 1318.

Think LOGICALLY.
Mass exodus in DC?
Mass exodus- corporate CEOs?
Why?
Who has the POWER?
Who has the CONTROL?
If POTUS was NOT IN CONTROL would they be retreating?

#Q #MAGA #GreatAwakening #Trump #POTUS #WeThePeople #WWG1WGA #MondayMotivation @realDonaldTrump
When #Q asks, "Mass exodus in DC?" he is referring to the unprecedented number of representatives who will not be seeking reelection. As of 4/27/18 that number is up to 53, based on this report.

1) Time for another #QAnon thread.

This thread covers Q posts on #8chan #GreatAwakening from Thursday and Friday, January 18 and 19, 2018.
Link: 8ch.net/greatawakening…
2) Q begins with a self-explanatory post.
Thursday was a big news day with the disclosure of a 4-page memo written by the House Intel Committee summarizing unthinkable weaponization of the NSA intelligence by high-ranking members of the FBI & DOJ.
3) “It's troubling. It's shocking,” Rep. Mark Meadows said. “Part of me wishes I didn't read it. I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things are happening in this country that I love so much.”

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
