I want to honor @simplybayliving for catching many of the fantastic threads and news articles that have ended up on this feed over the last few months. I owe a *great* debt to @simplybayliving and other readers who catch the things I've missed. This feed is indeed a team effort.
@simplybayliving PS/ Hey, folks, there was *no error* in this tweet. Every day, dozens of people send me major-media news stories to consider. Some who do so have big accounts, some small. Some are good at finding key major-media news, some aren't. @simplybayliving—a small account—is. That's all.
@simplybayliving PS2/ Anyone who follows this feed knows I post almost exclusively major-media investigative reports. So no, I don't care whether it's a large or small account recommending a given major-media report, as I'm going to *decide for myself* whether that report is valuable news or not.

This is correct on the law, but incorrect as a matter of trial strategy, and the Senate trial is still a trial. You do *not* want to call a witness at trial whose testimony you can in no way predict in advance. Bolton or Mulvaney could blow up the Democrats—they wouldn't risk it.
1/ While common sense tells us that Bolton and Mulvaney would have rushed to testify if they had any information beneficial to Trump, the fact remains that they could say whatever they wanted at an impeachment trial because there is no prior testimony with which to confront them.
2/ Rather, it's the *defense* team that has nothing to lose by throwing as much irrelevant spaghetti against the wall of public opinion as possible, *particularly* by calling Alexandra Chalupa to testify about acting as a conduit between the Ukrainian embassy and the DNC in 2016.

I wrote two books, PROOF OF COLLUSION and PROOF OF CONSPIRACY, that establish diGenova, Toensing and Harvey as dirty crooks, and thank god because that's exactly what they are, and the first two are Trump legal advisers who we just learned tonight plotted with Parnas and Giuliani
1/ The chance is zero, repeat zero, that diGenova and Toensing, who are ride-or-die crooks, weren't keeping Trump informed about their meetings with Parnas, Giuliani, and Nunes's rep Harvey at Trump International. Trump has been part of this plot to shake down Ukraine since 2017.
2/ And given all these secret meetings at the Trump International Hotel in 2018 and 2019, this is *really* starting to look like a conspiracy to commit bribery with the following federal co-defendants on offer:

Trump
Giuliani
diGenova
Toensing
Fruman
Parnas
Firtash
Harvey
Nunes

Hi Asha: I've done much research on these topics. The complicated truth: certain individuals on the Democratic and Poroshenko sides *did* act stupidly/improperly (if not illegally) in 2016, but none of it involves Crowdstrike or Burisma or Trump's pretexts for soliciting a bribe.
1/ I know it'd be easy for us to conflate the Chalupa-Chaly-Shulyar-Telizhenko story with the Crowdstrike insanity—then we could say both are deza—but it'd backfire. Better for Democrats to admit there was some 2016 stupidity on the left that has *nothing* to do with impeachment.
2/ Fiona Hill and Devin Nunes were talking past each other—and it was instructive. Hill was saying "Don't pretend Ukraine hacked Clinton when it was Russia" (Crowdstrike); Nunes was saying "Chalupa was secretly passing info from the Ukrainian embassy to the DNC"—a separate item.

Over the last few months I keep seeing messages from both bluechk journos & Antifa acnts of @MrAndyNgo's coverage/editing has been unfair & biased all the while not recognizing or wanting to be called out for their incredibly biased coverage of Antifa. One local reporter, now w/
@MrAndyNgo the Washington Post comes to mind. Katie Shepherd, fmrly of Willamette Week, was on the Antifa beat in PDX. I went to search her tweets & found she scrubbed her acct of everything before August 12th. She regularly wrote favorable articles about Antifa and moved among them w/ease
@MrAndyNgo I would see her when I was covering PDX and wondered how she never faced Antifa aggression walking amongst them freely while recording/taking photos/interviewing. Then I came across this picture of her filming an attack by Antifa on an unidentified man leaving a rally.

Over the last few months, I’ve been asked by a few overseas colleagues why UK surgeons are addressed as Mr once they become Members or Fellows of the @RCSnews @RCSEd or @rcpsglasgow

And discovered many surgeons didn’t know either!

Here’s a short explanation (thread) 1/x
If you have read the Hippocratic oath, you’ll remember the bit where it says
‘I will not use the knife...’
2/x
This was apparently taken very seriously until the last 300 years or so... and physicians, who were trained academically, treated patients, took the Hippocratic oath, and promised to teach others, were given the honorific ‘Dr’ (Doctor from the Latin Docere- to teach)

Many Canadians have only recently become familiar with the Admiral Norman affair, so here is a recap of the case and political interference from the Trudeau government that I describe as Direction, Deception & Delay. 1/6
Direction - the breach of trust charge stemmed from a cabinet leak related to attempts to halt a $700M contract. 73 people were aware of the leak but for over a year only Admiral Norman lost his job & had his name given to the RCMP for investigation. 2/6 ottawacitizen.com/news/national/…
Deception - the pre-trial work of Norman’s defence team suggested that Code Words were used by the Trudeau government possibly to avoid disclosure of documents related to Admiral Norman. 3/6 theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

Over the last few months I've posted extensively about the UK MI6/MI5/FCO ran Integrity Initiative.

This video confirms my research.

Please watch and retweet because the MSM is suppressing it.

H/t @ksouth21

#PropagandaWars
Please look into this information and the many updates linked at the end of the thread.

Welcome to the machine.
Same team involved in the Integrity Initiative were behind the UK efforts in the dossier & #SpyGate.

Dearlove & Halper also right in the middle.

FYI Bill Browder helps run the Anti Russia cluster in the UK.

As a former journalist and a researcher of the relationship between #news and #socialmedia, I think I understand both sides of the argument over whether tonight's presidential address should be carried live. A few thoughts. #Thread
It's important to look at the decision in itself. Even if you think it violates precedent, and therefore is hypocritical, it may be that the previous decisions were the wrong ones and shouldn't be repeated.
For example, if I used to throw my trash out the car window, arguing that it kept prisoners busy doing litter pickup, that's clearly stupid. If I now know it's dumb and stop doing it, that is a greater good than my being consistent by still doing it.
