2/ So @CNN thought biggest take-away was that Russia is still meddling "as we sit here." That CNN thought that was the biggest take-away tells me that they haven't been listening to a word from the right. AG Barr testified that months ago, see my @FDRLSTedition.cnn.com/2019/07/24/pol…
3/3 No, the biggest take-away was that Mueller didn't know who Fusion GPS was and that that aspect was beyond his "purview." Sequestering myself now to work on more complete thoughts. END
This piece by @MZHemingway is fascinating in so many ways and such a necessary "living history" reminder of what Tapper & other Russia collusion hoaxers did. What I found most fascinating, though is how Tapper-Sciutto exchange provided her confirmation.1/ thefederalist.com/2024/10/29/jak…
2/ I say this because I so "get" it. Early on during SpyGate, I continued to take it all "serious." And Mollie regularly would call B.S. weeks before stories were proven B.S. The Nunes released his memo & my background as ~25 federal appellate clerk provided me a similar moment.
3/ What the Tapper-Sciutto exchange confirmed to Mollie, the Nunes memo confirmed for me. Note: As Mollie said she was skeptical because she knew Trump voters. I (sadly & remorsefully) had been Never Trump & mocked the Trump voters I knew. (Don't @ me, see "sadly & remorsefully")
🚨🚨🚨THREAD: After waiting on @JocelynBenson press office for comment/clarification/sourcing, which was not forthcoming, here is result of my investigation. Let's be clear: @elonmusk was right here and @JocelynBenson is spreading dangerous disinformation. 1/
2/ First let me start by saying I emailed personal email addresses for press people, which I had from earlier media inquiry, so they got my message. Second, I'll add I started this hunt after seeing @TomFitton fact check of Benson here.
@TomFitton 3/ I could tell, though, where Tom got his figures from or Benson for that matter so wanted to research myself. First point: Community Notes is wrong: There are not 7.9 million is voting age citizens in Michigan. @elonmusk
was correct. That 7.9 is voting age "residents" of MI.
🚨🚨🚨GREAT catch by @julie_kelly2. Here's another story that confirms Iglesias was first federal prisoner to receive surgery (castration). Several points of note: Trump's BOP DENIED request. 1/ abc7chicago.com/transgender-in…x.com/julie_kelly2/s…
2/ But Biden-Harris Administration granted request--not because court ordered it but through voluntary settlement with ACLU. Here's settlement agreement. aclu-il.org/sites/default/…
3/ NOTE: This settlement agreement was signed by Biden-Harris's DOJ. And not only does agreement required BOP to provide surgery, it requires U.S. to cover costs if Iglesias is released from prison before all the surgical procedures are completed.
THREADETTE: Here's full JD Vance interview with Raddatz. Several thoughts, beginning w/ how interview closed re "Did Trump lose in 2020." For first time @JDVance nailed the issue & I hope next interview he pushed back with "What do you mean by lost?" 1/ abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/video…
2/ Vance has been always responded w/ there were problems in 2020 election & highlights gov't complicity in censoring of Hunter Biden story as example of something that altered outcome of election. This time though he added "rigged" "stolen" whatever word you want to use.
3/ This is key point: If you want an answer to whether Trump lost, you need to say what that means? Biden is in the White House so if that is standard, yup Trump lost. If standard is that counting all legally cast votes & no illegally cast votes gave Biden electoral victory?
THREADETTE: Remember when Walz told his supporters to talk to folks at the grocery store about the importance of voting for Harris? Well, here's a sampling of how that might play out on the ground in Michigan based on DH's conversation with roofer today. 1/
2/ Roofer on his own said to DH (who for newbies is "dear husband" who is old fashion and thus conservative but is apolitical--he thinks all politicians are crooks): "Well, price of everything is so high given the current administration's policies."
3/ That apparently opened conversation to politics with roofer (small business owner) to say "I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. I'm conservative and a constitutionalist." DH said the guy didn't say who he was voting for but got impression he was grudgingly voting Trump.
😡😡😡My lunch break is nearly over so I can't respond in full to this bullshit Washington Post hit piece on @elonmusk 1/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
2/ But two points: This slur against @CletaMitchell is outrageous.
@CletaMitchell 3/ And Washington Post's hit piece seems to ignore Democrats previously agreed were election integrity issues and by Democrats I mean Democrats not that fascists now pulling strings of Biden-Harris. thefederalist.com/2022/05/12/if-…
