Here's the PDF of the #WhistleblowerComplaint. This story is just beginning.

Here's what jumps out at me:

1) After the call, White House lawyers allegedly discussed its legal implications

2) There is a word-for-word transcript of the call

3) Senior White House officials allegedly moved to lock down all records of the call
4) The White House allegedly moved records of the call to highly classified system, although the call did not addressed such matters

5) After the call, the US envoy for Ukraine and EU ambo allegedly advised Ukraine leaders on how to "navigate" Trump demands
6) Giuliani allegedly met with senior advisers to Ukraine's president after the call to address next moves

I'd link to thank @AbuJamajem (Sam Heller) for engaging my arguments thoughtfully in his critique of Syria sanctions in @WarOnTheRocks.

My compliments to @EvansRyan202, @shaneamason, and the WOTR team for creating a forum for this kind of debate. 1/

The screen cap here shows how @AbuJamajem frames the issue. Notice the difference between Sam's argument that sanctions can't "stop the atrocities" and my contention that they can stop SOME atrocities: 2/ Image
To his credit, @AbuJamajem quotes one of my key points, namely that if Assad has fewer resources, he will not be able to commit as many battlefield atrocities: 3/ Image

I spent all of two minutes on Google to (re)locate clear evidence that Alice Walker is an anti-Semite. But you say you didn’t have time for that, so you went ahead and attacked @bariweiss for calling Walker an anti-Semite. 1/
Just Google “Alice Walker anti-semitism”. Or click here: 2/

PS I just clicked thru one of the links in @robertwrighter’s article about @bariweiss, which goes to a story he wrote about how the @nytimes coverage of Iran depends too much on input from right-wing think-tanks.

That’s a very unusual misreading of the Times, but... 1/

#TawanaBrawley? #UnpaidTaxes? Let's look at some evidence:

NYT: "Evidence Points to Deceit by Brawley"

"Records reviewed by The New York Times show more than $4.5 million in current state and federal tax liens against him and his for-profit businesses."

"With the tax liability outstanding, Sharpton traveled first class and collected a sizable salary, the kind of practice by nonprofit groups that the United States Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration recently characterized as “abusive,” or “potentially criminal”.

As co-author of FDD's new report on Iran's land bridge to the Mediterranean, I would like to acknowledge an important oversight regarding the map on Page 8, which was adapted from the work of Franc Milburn, but for which he did not receive proper credit. fdd.org/wp-content/upl…
As noted on Page 12, Mr. Milburn's article from 2017 in Strategic Assessment "specified in detail three potential routes for the land bridge." His article, including the relevant map on Page 39, is available here: inss.org.il/wp-content/upl…
Mr. Milburn deserves ample credit for what FDD's report described as "the first systematic evaluation of multiple routes for the land bridge." (Page 19) Our map should have been as explicit as our text in giving him credit.

Thanks for the response. The Central America situation was quite complicated, so let me see if I can do it some justice within the constraints of Twitter. 1/
Carter’s initial policy of non-intervention gave key opportunities to both the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and hard right officers in El Salvador.

Nicaraguan revolution, followed by Iranian revolution, made Carter hesitant to cut off El Salvador (ES for short). 2/
Carter tried various pressure tactics, but death squad rampage continued.

Reagan basically inherited Carter policy, but rhetoric was much more about anti-Communism, less clear concern for human rights.

Under pressure on that front, Reagan began to emphasize 1982 elections. 3/
