THREAD 4 pages 301-400 of the 966 page Senate Intelligence Committee’s #Volume5 counterintelligence report into Russian interference. The June 9th trump tower meeting is in these 100 pages. I hope you will read them for yourself and arrive at your own conclusions.
👇🏻
Pg 302 read the footnotes. Agalarov hired trump’s translator for a trip he took to Moscow when he put on the Miss Universe pageant. The same Agalarov that would show up with ‘translators’ to the trump tower meeting with jr, Kushner and Manafort June 9th to deliver dirt on HRC. Image
Pg 319 remember that time trump said he had no dealings with Russia? That he was unaware of plans for a trump tower Moscow? Also, remember how his signature looks like a seismograph reading an earthquake? Maybe he lied about that. This is from 2013. Image
Pg 325 Foot notes folks! This shows there was at least one Russian who knew trump was going to be running for president before the American voters did. Image
Pg 327 Setting the Dwight Schrute-ish declaratory ‘It’s your birthday’ greeting aside, trump manages to reference himself 6 times in a note that only has 6 lines. Image
Pg 327-328 Goldstone is responsible for setting up the trump tower meeting in June related to jr, Kushner and Manafort awaiting what they hoped would be an update on the Wikileaks hack operation. Goldstone apologized to jr, it wasn’t dirt. Tell me again this isn’t coordination? Image
Pg 329 Why isn’t it a good idea to ‘connect the dots’ and use a Russian Facebook like platform for a presidential candidate? Answer below: Image
Pg 336 oh nothing, just the president who did not collude with any Russians sending a note to one of his Russian handlers in response to their request to send them taped conversations he had with reporters. Ya know, ‘in case he should ever need them.’ Image
Pg 343 You’ve seen me mention Magnitsky, in this thread and others. Always read footnotes. This is context for the trump tower meeting. In prior pgs, there are mentions of Rohrabacher (House Min Leader McCarthy said he thinks he works for the Russians) and there are [REDACTIONS] Image
Pg 345 Enter Louis Freeh. The fact that a former FBI Director’s name being associated with Russian organized crime in this report is not redacted seems like foreshadowing to me. Image
Pg 346 FARA much? Foreign Agent Registration Act required Americans to register as working on behalf of another government. Like Mike Flynn was supposed to but didn’t. Surely a former FBI Director would know about this violation. Image
Pg 354 Rinat Akmetshin, present in the June 9th trump tower meeting attended by jr., Kushner and Manafort. The Republican led Senate Intel Cmte assessed him to be connected to Russian intel. Releasing this report under cover of the DNC is the biggest news dump of all time. Image
Pg 361. Know collusion part III. #TheyKnew senate Republicans on the Intel Committee were aware of what is contained in these pages during the Impeachment hearing. They voted against witnesses. They gave the president cover. This must be viewed in full context. Image
Pg 381 Remember when jr. was disappointed by a bait and switch? How is it possible they were not expecting Wikileaks update on dirt on Hillary? But then at the last minute, the Russian intelligence service wants the meeting to be about making Magnitsky Act a campaign issue. Image
Pg 384 I am trying to be as honest and use as little hyperbole about this as possible. To try to get the facts out. These little details are important. 9 tweets ago, I meant it when I said Goldstone apologized. Image
Pg 385 But what did he apologize for? jr not receiving the dirt he wanted, that’s what. Image
Well troops, this was a rather fascinating 100 pages of Vol 5 of the Senate Intel Committee’s counterintel investigation into trump and Russia during the last election. Imagine what they might be up to right now in this election. Wash your hands, wear a mask VOTE. #TheyKnew

We are in the Both Sides Era. For what seems the past decade, we have been subjected to both sides of the news, normalizing the weird, accepting the inappropriate, and moving on from the unforgivable.
Both sides are not the same.

A wee Sunday morning coffee🧵👇🏻
We have been so conditioned to Both Sides everything that we immediately fall into one side or the other. We are sorting ourselves based on memes and shallow thinking. Reporters complaining about hotel experiences due to the DNC running late, isn’t news. That’s a yelp review.
Have you noticed trump is on both sides of every issue? Probably not, because the “press hasn’t yet learned how to report on trump.” Why is covering trump any different from what they learned in journalism school?

Why not ask him about his incongruities? Or a follow up question?

Did you ever hear the phrase: “they have so much money they don’t know what to do with it.”? Not a problem, I’ve ever run into myself, but Project 2025 is just that. Billionaires want to be bankers. They want to sell off our governmental oversight to private companies they own.
Here is Project 2025. There isn’t one part of our lives this won’t touch. Think it doesn’t mean you? There is no provision to exclude from its effects those who vote for fascism so choose your candidate wisely.

Here is the part where they will abolish the federal reserve. It will be replaced by currency they can “create” and then lend out at their own interest rates. Image

“There is no place for political violence” has been a pretty common refrain throughout the weekend. It really got me thinking. ”Political violence” must be one of those “you know it when you see it” types of things.

Let’s see…
🧵👇🏻
Political violence strikes me as a visual medium but there are so many things that occur before we see the blood that I think might be political violence. Are we just numb to it? How do we define what is political violence and what is just violence? Why is it different?
Are Texas Gov Greg Abbott’s razor balls floating in the river, considered “political violence”? Kind of. I mean, the idea is people from south of the US shouldn’t be allowed to come here and take our jobs.
Political.

To deter from this, razor balls in the river.
Violence.

There’s been a lot said about Joe Biden since the debate. I, along with so many of you, watched it play out in real time as respected news transmitters read out ‘inside texts’ from knee jerk reactionaries.
After much thought, I won’t be voting for Joe Biden because he’s old.
🧵👇🏻
I’ll be voting for Joe Biden because he’s team democracy. I’m voting for ideas he represents. I’m voting for the team of people he can put together. I’m voting for my own interests and for your ability to vote for your own interests. I didn’t vote for him last time either, btw.
In 2020, I voted for a November 5th, 2024 election. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were the only options on the ballot that allowed this. I colored in Joe and Kamala’s bubble to keep the lights on long enough for us to have this election. Like many of you, I voted team democracy.

I am loathe to do predictions. However, there are some things you just can’t help but see coming. Project 2025 is a blinking red alarm and we all need to be aware of the stakes of this election. Please familiarize yourself with EO11246, be discriminating voters.

A wee thread🧵👇🏻
On September 24th, 1965 President Lyndon Johnson signed Executive Order 11246. EO11246 established Equal Opportunity Employment. It includes Non-Discrimination in Government. It includes Non-Discrimination Employment by Government Contractors and Subcontractors.
Focus on Non-Discrimination Employment by Government Contractors and Subcontractors. In Sub Part B under Contractor’s Agreements, contractors agree to not discriminate against employees based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Trust me…
🧵👇🏻
The above is the oath the President takes at 12 noon on January 20. Typically, it is administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court but there is no law that makes that a requirement. You could have your gran do it. So why is it *usually* the Chief Justice?
For this thread let’s assume the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is there as a symbol of the law. Chief Justice Roberts in a way represents the Judicial Branch of our government on the day it grants power to the person who will symbolize the Executive Branch.
