Thread by @kurteichenwald

The continuing ungodly lies about by @POTUS and @PressSec about pandemic playbooks - YES, there were multiple - left by both Obama *and* GW Bush is disgusting. We'll see all of them in this thread.

Ya know what, Trump? All of these are public. So show yours. It's not secret../1

...it's not "We don't want to tell the virus what is going to happen so it can't prepare." This is something Americans need to know as deaths and infections grow, so we can SEE what it is we are supposed to do, what you are planning to do, and what you have done. After all...

...every other plan (except for the one that the Obama Administration that was prepared for you, and is now public)

So, let's go back to Bush first. I've changed my mind about linking ALL, because there are a lot and a few will make the point.../3

...this is the 2d one put out by Bush Admin There was an earlier one in aftermath of the SARS outbreak (2002), but this one in 2006 - a massive one that lays out a step-by-step plan for dealing with pandemics, none of which Trump @PressSec - is the best...cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-r…

...this is one of - again, public - done by the Obama Admin in coordination with Canada & Mexico so there would be a coordinated plan for us & our border countries. Obama was also using Bush plan. Trump followed none of THIS second plan either @PressSec phe.gov/Preparedness/i…

...shall we keep going? Oh, let's.

Now, the key to all of this is @PressSec and @Potus claiming that "no one could have known." Never mind the world (including CDC) knew on 1/1/20. You COULD have known because Obama Admin prepared a predictive modeling program...

...that was ready to be implemented, & Trump AGAIN ignored it, @PressSec and @POTUS. Step by step, descriptions of what to do. The modeling was designed to protect us by assessing threats early on, and assessing what we needed to do to prepare. You know, the stuff you don't do...

...Now, where did this come from? The Pandemic Prediction & Forecasting Science & Technology Working Group. A group established by Obama for exactly this purpose, @POTUS and @PressSec, that you subsequently disbanded.

...finally, the Obama playbook on TOP of the one above on modeling from 12/16 provided to you. You say it wasn't as good as yours because "it was stapled" and not in a binder. First, BS. Second...yes, I'm sure a binder would have saved 86,000 people....

...you're incompetent @POTUS, not matter how many lies @PressSec tells. You ignored not only the Obama briefing, but also EVERY SINGLE PREPARATION PLAN going back to the Bush Admin. RELEASE YOURS. (It's fake, we know.)

Blood in on your hands @POTUS. And Kayleigh? Yours too.
