Cheri, when I put together my blog and organized my threads, I was surprised (and amused) to see that one of my largest categories was "GOP-Russia Love"

See link in the next tweet.
Here are the threads in that category: terikanefield-blog.com/category/polit…
That can't be all.

They don't act like they're being forced. They act like they want the alliance.

Secretly working with the Russians (Nunes, Rohrabacher, etc.) would provide blackmail material—so the desire for alliance is first.

*may be first.

I was trying to scrunch too much into a tweet.

(Thread) Roger Stone, Russian Hackers, and the Rule of Law

So Roger Stone had a bit of a tantrum yesterday. He’s angry because he was assigned to a judge he doesn’t want.

What’s really happening is that Rule of Law colliding with Cult of Leadership.
time.com/5532193/roger-…
1/ The court rules require the prosecutor, when filing an indictment, to notify the clerk if there’s a “related” case pending before the court.

Related cases are then assigned to the same judge for “case management and efficiency.”
2/ One way two cases can be related is if the evidence comes from the same wiretaps or search warrant.

When Special Counsel filed Stone’s indictment, he designated Stone’s case as related to the pending U.S. v. Netyksho—the Russian hacking case.

(Thread) Weekly / Sunday roundup

I wrote 4 threads this week, and updated an older one. (I keep thinking I'll do 3 each week . . . then stuff happens).

#1: About the Mueller report. Remember Mueller is speaking through the court documents & transcripts.
#2: Governing by crisis, spectacle—and sadopopulism (@timothysnyder’s phrases)

#3: Senator Burr and the undermining of democracy: The lies are the real problem👇

(Thread) Why we don’t need Mueller’s report

@daveh8300 wonders if the rumors are true that the Mueller report will “never see the light of day” (Dave quoted: goo.gl/aqmPVx)

This is a non-worry.

Spoiler: All the information is in the court documents and transcripts.
1/ Prosecutors have a duty to foster “public understanding of the problems of controlling crimes. . . ” law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/28/50… Courts have said prosecutors have a duty to inform the public about investigations.

So Mueller is putting what we need to know into the court docs.
2/ These documents are in the possession of the courts. At any time, the court can unredact and unseal them.

Indictments refer to unnamed persons (“Person A” and “senior campaign official," etc.)

Courts know who these people are. And the evidence is spread over several courts.

#Thread There may have been sabotage last week, but a look at the power utilities report to Nersa paints Eskom on the brink of collapse. Eskom's own report describes a litany of severe faults with the new power stations' most important components...
So problem one is the technology Medupi was built with which is very modern technology... Way mismatched to the low grade coal quality in the ground at Lephalale. The Eskom report details poor coal is damaging every part of Kusile and Medupi.
Then Eskom admits that design and technical requirements are not met. The Mills to pulverise coals don't meet technical specs. The boilers' design means they overheat. Coal damages them. The filter plant to filter fumes is damaged by coal & excess ash builld up & trips often.

Here’s a #thread about #judges and #judges’ opinions. I don’t want to name names. I’m hoping Twitterland will get the word out. It’s important, to that small audience at least. It’s about a lack of awareness and humility 1/
So there’s this emerging cadre of judges who write opinions that seem clever and erudite and get some adoring attention. But here’s the thing. At a conference of pretty bright academics of various persuasions and we have two things we seem to all think about those opinions 2/
The first is a little catty; the second is deadly serious. They both matter. (And I’m not naming names of judges or academics but you know who you are.) 3/

#Russia's really going for it at UNSC today: Amb. Nebenzia going all-out tinfoil hat, contradicting himself in rapid time.

- In the space of seconds, he says (1) the #Douma incident was a false-flag chemical attack by rebels & then says (2) there was no chemical attack at all.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

- I could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers, in their diapers, all lying together, dead, ashen blue, open eyes & lifeless, white foam bubbling from their mouths & noses… the very definition of innocent, hiding in basements.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

"Who does this? Only a monster does this… the monsters behind this have no conscience… the Russian regime is covered in the blood of innocent children.

#Russia & #Iran are to blame… [but] what’s the point in trying to shame these people?
