1- What decisions are the Democrats not sharing with us in calling John Dean? On the surface having him testify seems desperate, as if it’s the only person they could get for headlines but scratch below the surface and it’s much darker, it started in September 2018.
2- Last August/September, Lawfare’s Benjamin Wittes and a handful of other powerful ant-trumpers filed a petition for the #WatergateRoadmap which was previously under seal.

int.nyt.com/data/documenth…
3- They were desperate to get the roadmap in Mueller’s hands and argued that whatever was sealed in the secret proceedings would help set precedent (a powerful magic wand in law)
4- In October their dreams came true, they were thrilled and quickly began bragging about how this roadmap could help Mueller AND Congress
lawfareblog.com/watergate-road…
5- Some pretty powerful people started speaking directly to Mueller by way of Lawfare blog based on the roadmap including former FBI’s Jim Baker.

6- All the infamous Steele Dossier pushers then started to chime in, good old Chait of course baked up Baker. They were basically writing the case for Obstruction for Mueller (compare the text) 😂
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
7- “Obstruction is still right there” he cried, look even Baker agrees just look at the #WatergateRoadmap
8- By the beginning of this year Wittes literally started speaking directly to @RepJerryNadler telling him what to look at in the now released documents.

9- To them, the key is accessing grand jury material, which in watergate was done by Congress, by way of the judges handling Special prosecutions. Their are glaring differences between the two cases that even Wittes points out BUT they claim “precedent”
10- Lets back up a bit though because here’s where it gets really dirty. In February @RepJerryNadler announced the hiring of Barry Berke and Norman Eisen (on taxpayer dime) WHY no one argues conflict of interest in mind boggling.

11- Berke and Eisen are both contributors to Wittes Lawfare propaganda err blog. Eisen is the co-founder of CREW.
12- The besties are both fellows at Brookings with Wittes and Eisen is behind the infamous “emoluments lawsuit” these two are now being PAID by YOUR tax dollars.
13- For those living under a rock Wittes is a well known friend of Comey’s and Eisen was Obama’s “ethics watchdog” 😂
washingtonian.com/2017/12/10/dcs…
14- Berke and Eisen have been calling for Obstruction since October 2017 (via Lawfare of course) would be interesting to compare their arguments to those made in Mueller Report 💡The duo also regularly contributed to WAPO.
15- So, why John Dean today? Look for Nadler to start openly arguing Watergate roadmap they just needed to get Watergate on the record.

16- The hiccup? Many argued (pre Trump) that the tactics used in Watergate were in fact Justice denied, perhaps that’s why the infamous roadmap remained sealed. Time will tell. -Fin

1. The George A. Kelly case is worse than you think. Departments we depend on to protect us, went out of their way to prosecute George based on the hand crafted “testimony” from a twice convicted foreign gun runner… and it only gets worse from there.

George and Wanda, his wife, were eating lunch inside their ranch on the Arizona/Mexico border. They heard a shot, looked up and saw a group of armed migrants on their land. George quickly told Wanda to hide, called Border patrol for help and fired warning shots in the air.

Border patrol came to the property, searched the whole area and found nothing. Later that night George went to check on his old horse and to his horror, found a body. He immediately called law enforcement.

The body was that of Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, who had multiple arrests for illegal crossings. No bullet or weapon was ever found on or near the body.

The next day George was charged with first degree murder and an unprecedented bail of $1 million was set. From that point on the case has never been about facts, instead it’s turned into a political argument. Mr. Kelly is innocent, it’s time to give him his life back and stop making this a battle about the border.Image
2. Meet Sheriff David Hathaway ( @JamesDavidHath1) who blatantly lied about George A. Kelly before the trial. While playing show and tell on his Uncles ranch, he says Kelly is an outsider who came to “hunt me some Mexicans!”
3. Kelly did write a 57 page, self published book ten years ago but none of what the Sheriff said existed in it. Contents of the book were not allowed in court, even NYT’s had a more truthful take than Hathaway.

Just stopped by to support the mightiest little Cakeshop in town. The store has been transformed into a shipping center because orders are pouring in from around the Country to support Jack. The vindictive mob will not win🇺🇸

This should be national news!? A 41 year old Dem murdered an 18 year old kid because he was a Republican. The whole world heard about Heather Heyer but Cayler Ellingson gets run over by an extremist and you’ll never hear his name.
gofundme.com/f/caylor-ellin…
If an actual right wing extremist murdered a Democrat it would be national news @JoeBiden would tell the world it was a MAGArepublican and @CNN @MSNBC @FoxNews @abcnews @NBCNews @NPR would be screaming about it. This is disgusting.
Cayler called his mom begging for help just like George Floyd. Cayler was run over by a car just like Heather Heyer. Why won’t this story get coverage? Because he’s a white Republican.

Since raid I’ve had nagging feeling that this would be about declass docs that weren’t run past 3 letter agencies. Yes the President can declass whatever he wants but if the agencies don’t have their chance to redact, they can claim it’s a violation of our NatSec. We shall see.
