Julian Barnes & Adam Goldman (NYT) published fluff on CIA director Gina Haspel, claiming that Haspel convinced Trump to ratchet up tensions with Russia by showing images of young children "hospitalized by Novichok nerve agent that poisoned the Skripals" & nytimes.com/2019/04/16/us/…
2/ a "photograph of ducks that British officials said were inadvertently killed by the sloppy work" of Russians in Salisbury. I've followed Skripal story reasonably closely and this is the first that I've heard about (1) children being sickened by Novichok (supposedly lethal)
3/ or (2) ducks being poisoned by Novichok. Further, duck story (@CraigMurrayOrg , @theblogmire ) seems wildly inconsistent with Skripal being exposed by novichok on doorknob at Skripal house.
4/ Will be interesting to see what @theblogmire and @CraigMurrayOrg make of this latest legend from CIA. Sure smells like more BS to me.
5/ @moonofA already has must-read article moonofalabama.org/2019/04/cia-di…. He is also dubious of children and duck photos and suggests that CIA director Haspel manipulated Trump with false information.
6/ @theblogmire has similarly saveage article theblogmire.com/trump-in-dumps…

h/t @KoenSwinkels for both links

interesting small fact in Mueller Report re Papadop hiring at LCILP. Papadop initiated contact with LCILP on Feb 4/16 by email to Nagi Idris. Papadop wasn't lured to LCILP
@HansMahncke
2/ watch the pea on page 93. Mueller says that Papadop meeting with Downer (May 6) was after Podesta hack and after "the GRU hacked into the DCCC and DNC". Latter is sly: DNC emails were NOT hacked until later (May 23). Mueller should have stated this clearly.
3/ watch the pea re Carter Page on page 110. They cite Isikoff article, but do not discuss fabricated Steele allegation of supposed meeting between Sechin and Page, luridly asserted in Isikoff article.

Extraordinary and total legal victory for climate skeptic Peter Ridd who had been punished for academic views by climate thugs at James Cook University (Original complaint by or supported by Terrence Hughes). All university actions found "unlawful".

10 years ago (time flies) when I was churning out statistical critiques of flawed climate studies, I showed major defects in a then prominent study of coral calcification using data brought to my attention by "an occasional Australian reader". Peter Ridd. climateaudit.org/2009/06/03/unp…
@lara_j_logan in your Levin interview, you mentioned the virtual prohibition of any questioning of climate alarmism. You will be interested in Peter Ridd v James Cook University, where court just ruled against university intimidation. wattsupwiththat.com/wp-content/upl…

1/ charge against Assange is violation of 18 USC 1030a. Indictment was filed on March 6, 2018 for incident on March 7, 2010, barely meeting 8-year statute of limitations. Despite clemency, Manning appealed her 1030a conviction. Issues seem relevant to charge vs Assange.
2/ 1030a, under which Assange was charged, is an anti-hacking law that requires that access to computer be "without access or exceeding authorized access".
3/ Manning didn't HACK into DoD computers. M had high-level clearance and was entitled to access the files delivered to Wikileaks. M's 1030a conviction - and this is little known - was on questionable technicality: use of widely available Wget to access files available on portal

The Khashoggi incident will be blown wide open...again. This time, will @POTUS make his move?
2. @LindseyGrahamSC gave a STRONG statement after a secret briefing by the C_A about the #Khashoggi incident. Watch this whole video (7 minutes), not just the portions being given by others. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) has been put on notice.

3. Graham pulls no punches in addressing MBS and his abusive, chaotic, dangerous, criminal behavior. This is going to resonate widely throughout the Senate and I believe it will be addressed on the Senate floor in the coming days. Some think this issue is not an important one.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
