Scoop (by @ErinBanco @swin24) adds significantly to #RussianBounty issue

1. State Dept issued "serious" warning to Russia on bounties

2. Shows Trump lie about protecting U.S. soldiers— intelligence IS AMPLE to take such action (no hoax)

thedailybeast.com/us-warns-russi…
2) Simply having State Department warn Russia while president of United States remained silent is, in significant respects, worse.

This gets at very question @SenatorShaheen just posed to Pompeo.

An insane state of affairs Pompeo can’t say he’s backed up by president.

Watch:
3) Two former senior US officials told me about damaging effect if State Department or intelligence agencies raised concerns on #RussianBounty with Russia, while POTUS was silent.

1/ Powerful interview

Former top official of the National Guard Major Gen. Randy E. Manner

Listen to this excerpt of it.

- Our Guard is not trained for this
- "Negatively impacts military readiness"
- Being as "political props"
2 "This is ... changing the entire context of the way that the average citizens in these cities are going to start viewing ... our military...
We should not have military on our streets, in our American cities. It is absolutely the way that dictatorships run, not democracies."
3

Q: "Joint Task Force ... said that all service members deployed will get an initial briefing on the mission and operational environment, and that prepares them. Is that enough?

General Manner: "No, absolutely not. ... This is a very potentially dangerous situation."

1/ Important:

"Epstein was actually still on the Mar-a-Lago membership logs up to 2007. ... That of course is a year after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in Florida."

So Trump didn't kick him out for many years after knowing Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from MAL in 2000.

🧵
2/ Here's the Miami Herald piece that @barryscoopking referenced:

"A footnote in the book says the authors were shown the club’s registry from more than a decade earlier and that Epstein in fact had been a member until October 2007."

@barryscoopking @KevinGHall 3/ Here's from the book by then-Miami Herald journalists @Blaskey_S, @NickNehamas and @jayhweaver and Wall Street Journal's @ceostroff.

1/New important public resource

“Heat Map” of USA showing hometown origins of #January6th defendants

Shows:

Power of a President to catalyze political violence nationwide

Local and nationwide effects of a Trump presidential pardon of Jan 6 defendants
justsecurity.org/104036/heat-ma…
2/ Along with the Heat Map is essential analysis by leading expert @thomasjoscelyn.

He explains how the Proud Boys orchestrated January 6th attack and risks of resurgence – especially in the event of pardons that former President Trump has suggested.

justsecurity.org/103956/proud-b…
3. Joscelyn’s work also builds on this prior analysis in Just Security, which @Liz_Cheney spotlighted in her post below.

1/@jacklgoldsmith wrote a NY Times piece attacking special counsel Jack Smith.

@AWeissmann_ and I are refuting the baseless attack.

Compare:

Goldsmith 2020: Bill Barr has "enormous discretion" to ignore 60 day rule
Goldsmith 2024: "Crucial" for Garland to comply with the rule Image
Image
2/ On left:

Goldsmith piece, “Jack Smith Owes Us an Explanation”

(He thinks DOJ defied a 60-Day rule in recently filing a brief showing details of alleged Trump crimes, and demands explanation)

On right:

Goldsmith shows no awareness DOJ gave the explanation TWICE.Image
Image
3/ The DOJ explanation is solid.

Simply put, DOJ’s 60-Day Rule against taking actions before an election DOES NOT APPLY and apparently never has to a case after an indictment has been filed. . At that point, it is an open matter and in the hands of the court.

Trump and Vance's racist smears of Haitians - who are legally present in Springfield, Ohio - has led to bomb threats closing City Hall, schools and a motor vehicles office.

Now two hospitals closed due to bomb threats.

fox8.com/news/springfie…
2/ The Trump effect in Springfield:

"Wittenberg University announced the cancelation of all events and activities Sunday ... after an email 'threatened a potential shooting,' campus police said in a statement. The threats reportedly targeted Haitians."
fox8.com/news/universit…
3/ Trump-Vance racists smears of Haitians continue to have reverberating effect on Springfield:

"Clark State College, based in Springfield, will close all of its campuses and move to remote classes Monday through Friday as a result of two email threats."

The racist smears of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio shows how easily these influencers' position against "illegal immigrants" slides into being against legal immigrants (of color)

"The city also says that the Haitian immigrants are in the country legally under a federal program" Image
2/ JD Vance expands racist smear to "communicable diseases like HIV and TB have skyrocketed in this small Ohio town."

Of a piece with Trump as President saying of Haitians "they all have AIDS" and didn't want to accept “people from shithole countries.”
3/
 Here's report on "they all have AIDS" (by @shearm @juliehdavis)


Here's report on "shithole countries" (by Davis, @SherylNYT @thomaskaplan)
