1. I think this story is just touching on the what the intelligence committee can and may do to successfully end Trump's presidency. First, this article addresses the Judiciary Committee working with the House Intelligence Committee to deal with classified materials related to
2. the Mueller grand jury. The first thing to note is that the Mueller Report lacks any notation that indicates it contains classified redacted information. Moreover a grand jury made up of ordinary citizens has a very difficult time dealing with classified information.
3. The IC is concerned with protecting the sources and methods and the contents of intercepted communications may not be as critical to keep secret but the adversary who is under surveillance may get an idea that the are being intercepted when the intercept is released.
4. So the DOJ uses agents to give summary testimony before the grand jury regarding what is on the intercept. I'm almost 100% that if Trump's national security adviser a former three-star intelligence general and head of the DIA was clueless that Trump was clueless too.
5. I reported starting in May 2016 that FISA authorities will get Trump. I can foresee a summary that is released publicly for the trial with the members of the Senate played the intercepts in a SCIF. Because Congress has less restriction than other government employees you can
6. almost bet it will leak. And Trump conspiring with the Russians will be exposed. But why didn't Mueller report on this? You might remember that his report details how the FBI Counter Intelligence investigators were embedded in the Mueller team but did not report to him.
7. They took notes and reported to their team. Now that Coats is gone and the conduct of the ODNI is in doubt I expect all that evidence is already secured. Waiting for the grand jury material that will contain the less secret summaries.
8. There's one thing that needs to be done before all this kicks off. #MoscowMitch must be completely exposed and neutralized.
How's the Deripaska deal coming Mitch?😎

1. I have supported a two-state solution to the conflict in #Palestine for my entire life. I agree that #Netanyahu's conduct of the war in #Gaza violated the the law of armed conduct and could support charges of #genocide. I don't believe that #Arab and
2. other #Muslim Americans' lives will be somehow improved if #Trump is elected.
Political power comes from coalitions. Working on campaigns, being reliable partners when the call comes is how my #Irish ancestors gained political power.
3. Using threats to not vote as leverage against the only party that protects you only serves to isolate your vital growing part of the electorate from becoming a powerful voice in American politics. We support you. It's now time for you to support the cause.
1. It’s been eight years since Comey dropped his October surprise. When I witnessed what he did, I knew Hillary was going to lose. Her historic negatives, closeness to election day and a massive Kremlin-run sock-puppet army combined with the fact that it dropped
2. too close to the election for Hillary to have time to recover. I began working on life under the fascist creature before the election day in 2016 and I’m still working. It's 100 hours to D-Day and this time, in sharp contrast to 2016, I have zero anxiety.
3. I’ve looked at the fundamentals, the closing arguments and the nature of the electorate engagement and I don't see any signs Trump is actually going to win. When a candidate threatens to arrest and shoot their detractors it generally makes polls unreliable.
1. What's Trump's long game where he appears to have given up trying to win? Moving further to extreme right is insanity in this close race. Why would he do that? I think the facts we currently have strongly suggest he's being bribed most likely by Putin with Musk as an agent.
2. His mission is to destroy America. He showed us today what it will look like. He's preparing his brown shirts to once again take to violence. Damaged people like Mike Johnson who looks like an a Kompromat victim is going to help. But this isn't 2021.
3. Trump no longer controls any levers of the executive branch that gave him the means to attempt a coup. Trump is on felony post-conviction release in NY and under terms of release in DC. Criminal conduct after the election exposes him to loss of liberty. So what's his plan?
What Trump and his big money supporters don't get is, if there's a plan to commit crimes to overturn this election & funders & others know of the illegal purpose & agree to it, all it takes is one overt act by one conspirator to trigger criminal conspiracy liability for all.
Their criminal exposure doesn't await the outcome of the election and the execution of the plan. Their crimes were already committed when they agreed. It's obvious what Trump is planning. Imagine he's a bank robber who is awaiting trial for robbing a certain bank.
While on pretrial release he makes clear he's going to rob the same bank again. What do you think the police are going to do? Now add that the biggest funder is building rockets that Putin and the Russian military fear. Luring him into a crime that destroys him and his rocket
1. I tried to check something on the WayBack @internetarchive and Murphy's Law dictated it would be down. I wanted to see where @jontester was polling six years ago. Trump tried really hard to unseat him in 2018. He failed.
2. I have always joined lost causes. I have one religious item that I treasure. It's my St. Jude medal. The patron Saint of lost causes. I bought the day the RedSox played game 4 of the ALCS against the Yankees in 2004. I think there are MT voters out there who can be reached.
3. I posted this after trying to steer @KamalaHarris away from going after @JoeBiden in 2019. Since the day I first learned of her I knew she could be the one. In the 2020 run I also knew that only Joe Biden could gather the support to defeat the Kremlin-backed fascist.
2. directed by the Kremlin because Russia does not export goods and needs to destroy the Western economies to level its strategic playing field. If we are concealing Trump's communications with Putin, in my view, we are engaged in dangerous meddling in the
3. US election. Simply stated, the US voters have a right to know if Trump is working with our adversaries. If no intercepts exist fine. But if we have proof that this insane tariff proposal was put in Trump's demented brain by the Kremlin, @JoeBiden should declassify
