A @MotherJones interview w/my client @GuySnodgrass about his book, officially published tomorrow, recounting his time as speechwriter & Director of Communications for Secretary of Defense #JamesMattis.

We had to sue @DeptofDefense to ensure publication

motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
@MotherJones @GuySnodgrass @DeptofDefense Disappointingly, Secretary #Mattis uses same tactics as President Trump to belittle my client as some "coffee boy", which is simply absurd, as well as hypocritical given he just published a book and gives public speeches about his own experiences.

@MotherJones @GuySnodgrass @DeptofDefense Lawsuit against DoD was needed bc of unlawful attempt by Govt to censor @GuySnodgrass' #FirstAmendment rights. We were completely victorious but rest assured I will be suing @DeptofDefense again to extinguish their restrictive policies.

NEWS ALERT: Our latest formal statement regarding the continuing effort to unnecessarily & dangerously expose the identity of our #whistleblower client.
READS:
In correspondence dated October 22, 2019, the Counsel of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency made it clear that “Whistleblowers play an essential public service in coming forward” by reporting their reasonable belief of waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct,
and that whistleblowers “should never suffer reprisal or even the threat of reprisal for doing so.” Significantly, the letter quotes Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), Chairman and co-founder of the U.S. Senate’s Whistleblower Caucus, who noted recently regarding this matter,

Based on known facts, there is no way to interpret this as anything other than partisan effort to senselessly expose our client & intimidate future #whistleblowers. Sen @RandPaul, I suspect your father must be sadly disappointed in you.

usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
Our client's identity is meaningless at this stage. Superseded by indivs w/far more knowledge. And substantive allegations have already been substantiated, incl by Trump appointed officials.

"Whistle-blowers are the truth-seekers, and we must demand the truth. Who does not want to know the truth? Sadly, in an empire of lies, the truth has become treason."

Says @RandPaul's father.

In light of #revengeporn, a term some victims don't actually like, that impacted Congresswoman #KatieHill and led to her resignation, my former client @BekahWells13's @nytopinion is worth the read.

Our effort was successful.

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”

@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

@wdunlap “Attorneys for #Epstein say he obtained a foreign #passport under an alias in 1980s to defend himself from potential kidnappers while traveling in the Middle East.

worried about perils he faced traveling there as ‘an affluent member of the Jewish faith’”

Thread: On the Role of Presidents and Top Advisers in Guiding and Sanctioning CIA Activities from Cuba to Africa, 1961-1974, Part II

1. The National Security Archive at GWU has been filing FOIAs for access to declassified US intel community documents for over 30 years.
2. Some – if not all – of the declassified releases are fascinating. This is Part II of a recent release summarizing how US presidents were involved in sanctioning CIA activities around the world in the ‘60s and early ‘70s.
3. Part I can be found here:

@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly Anthropologist here - I have written about changing ideas about #time and about the regulation of infants quite a bit. These are #culturalideologies that came about in late 19th-early 20th century in response to social changes 1/n
@sophiejrigney @elizabethmoya @makesmilk @babyfriendly the rise of industrial #capitalism changed labor practices and emphasized efficiency and predictability. The #clock was particularly important in this regard.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
