What happens to that argument if he wins
Pelosi is under the bizarre impression that Republicans will not rally behind a candidate who has obviously benefited from massive corruption but, you know, they did in 2016
As a bellwether for Republican tolerance of institutional misbehavior, consider that the Republican candidate won in #NC09, where a special election was held due to massive evidence of Republican electoral fraud
Also the assumption being made here is that Democrats will nominate an effective and inspiring alternative to Trump and the jury is still very much out on that as well

Republican or a Democrat, you need to read the Whistleblower Complaint. It’s a smoking gun laid next to the corpse of Rule of Law. The only questions are: Whose fingerprints—beyond @realDonaldTrump & @RudyGiuliani—will we find on it? And was the corpse also poisoned and stabbed?
These caught my eye too. What they say is White House officials abused security and classification systems to ensure evidence of other Trump crimes was locked down.

If that in any way impeded Mueller’s investigation: obstruction of justice.
Executive Order 13256 spells out procedure for classification. It details who can classify at Top Secret level—POTUS, VP or a minimal number of delegated agency heads or cabinet officers—and is written to ensure info isn’t misclassified. The clearly impeachable breaches are here.

The @nytimes is burying the lede in this tweet: It wasn’t generic “intelligence officials” who referred @POTUS to DOJ for criminal investigation—it was DAN COATS, *Trump’s handpicked Director of National Intel*—who was forced to resign days later. Coats must be called to testify.
The degree of smoke pouring out of the Trump Admin should have made it clear to the press that there was a raging inferno of corruption inside it long ago. But major media continues to softpedal blatantly obvious, if circumstantial, evidence of major crimes.
July 24 Mueller testifies before Congress
July 25 Trump has phone call with Ukraine’s Zelensky, pushing him to investigate Biden; DNI and Inspector General refer Trump to DOJ
July 28 Dan Coats forced to resign by Trump
July 31 Trump has unannounced call with Putin

Good. The principal and teachers who let the arrests happen also need to be disciplined. But something that I haven’t seen discussed yet is this: Turner was a school “resource officer.”

You know—the guys who are supposed to be the thin blue line of defense against mass shooters.
Resource officers are being used to discipline children via the law, as opposed to school rules—juvie lockup instead of school detention. The result is that they’re not being seen or seeing themselves as protecting kids, but policing them.

I suspect that doesn’t make kids safer.
As states staff and arm up resource officers instead of taking guns out of society, we’ll see accidental—and maybe not accidental—shootings of kids by officers. Incidents like these point to why it’s inevitable.

@matandamoyo @PoliceZimbabwe @edmnangagwa this thread is a brief summary of the findings from the Auditor General’s Report courtesy of the brilliant work done by @Wamagaisa in this week’s BSR. I will focus this thread on a few case examples where he indicated ZACC should focus on
Case 1: The Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare entered into a contract with a company called Digikad Zimbabwe Private Limited for the supply of biometric cards. The Ministry borrowed $500 000 from NSSA for this purpose and paid Digikad in advance. However by September 2018
Digikad had only supplied 50000 cards leaving a balance of 200000. In order to repay NSSA the Ministry diverted 500000 from the Public Assistance Programme meant to support vulnerable groups. Incredibly, Digikad is suing the Ministry for specific performance! The Ministry should

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

#Maricopa County recorded Adrian Fontes is a native of Nogales, Arizona, a border town where #ArizonaMafia #4, Marco Lopez, my former friend and business partner, grew up with Fontes...Fontes handled vote count in Kyrsten Sinema's election where a "last minute surge" was seen
Considering the way #ArizonaMafia members work, their influence on the U.S. #Democrat party and otherwise, they are a hard charging, aggressive group. They use scorched-earth tactics themselves and through others ... everything they do is brute force. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
"Fontes responded angrily to [a] Goodyear [Arizona] voter, Nathan Schneider, who complained that the election date was hard for him and his mother to find on the mail-in ballot..."

Fontes responded by asking if Schneider's mother ran his campaign and writing "go F- yourself."

>>About Frank Parlato of Frankreport.com: Some people have asked me if I am a friend of Frank Parlato, a newspaper owner and blogger who first first broke the story of women being forcibly branded as part of the #NXIVM cult. In response, I must clarify details about this.
In fact, I am not an established "friend" of Frank Parlato, who is the publisher of frankreport.com, and The Niagara Reporter weekly newspaper. Frank is someone who I spoke with by telephone, about three weeks ago, who I respect very much. I will explain why. #NXIVM
Frank Parlato, as far as I was able to ascertain, is a well known publicist and journalist who has worked on political campaigns. I read that Frank spent years fighting to expose Keith Raniere, who is accused of branding and enslaving female followers of his organization, #NXIVM.

1) The boards are being shilled pretty hard today w people questioning #QanonPosts. I'd like to interrupt your normally scheduled programming with the following:

The #swamp is being drained. See the list of accomplishments below, corruption at this scale takes time. #QAnon
2) There was a massive roundup of #Saudi elites, including Al-Waleed bin Talal, notable for his endless meddling in #US affairs and membership in the #cabal. All were neutered.

#QAnon #GreatAwakening #DrainTheSwamp #DrainTheDeepState
3) #ISIS is on it's last breath. Why? #Saudi purge? Who else funds ISIS? See how fast they disappeared once their funding was cut? Imagine the intricate planning needed to cut those strings.
