i might be marginally biased here but if you like great reporting, @ENBrown, and long reads on Josh Hawley, something should be dropping later this morning that u may enjoy.
@ENBrown well well well
@ENBrown "At the start of June, I mentioned this case on Twitter—prompting Hawley to accuse me of "praising human traffickers" and offering a misleading story about his supposed victory against an Asian trafficking ring.” reason.com/2020/07/14/sen…
@ENBrown "All Hawley had to do to prove he's not making stuff up was point to public court records or any official documentation showing charges filed… & an effort to prosecute those cases. Instead, Hawley tweeted about the emotional impact the raid had on him…” reason.com/2020/07/14/sen…
@ENBrown "Luckily, we don't have to rely on Hawley for information. "No felony charges were filed in Greene County Missouri" as part of this case, Greene County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Patterson told me in a June 9 email.” reason.com/2020/07/14/sen…
@ENBrown "A Boost for Political Careers, but Not Victims” reason.com/2020/07/14/sen…
@ENBrown "both his current crusade against Big Tech & the massage parlor investigation suggest in Hawley a serious disregard for civil liberties & a willingness to tell self-aggrandizing stories even when they don't match up w/ official records & documented facts” reason.com/2020/07/14/sen…
@ENBrown "Prosecutors & politicians like Hawley get away w/ misrepresenting sex trafficking busts & their role… b/c they know most people don't have the time or inclination to follow up beyond initial headlines. But in this case, I did. & Hawley is no hero here” reason.com/2020/07/14/sen…
@ENBrown Funny thing about this new deep-dive from @ENBrown is that she likely would not have been spurred to find *yet more* concrete evidence of @HawleyMO’s lies if the senator had just…had the restraint to not get into a Twitter fight w/ her… reason.com/2020/07/14/sen…
