@McFaul Since you are referencing, once again, RUSSIA, here is another thread about Russia you should read to discover who built their military-industrial complex:
@McFaul Finally, you are reminded about the withdrawal of US from the IRAN DEAL, which Putin helped Obama achieve since Iran is a MAJOR ALLY OF RUSSIA.
@McAdooGordon They don't do their homework and cannot read statutes properly. Three of the four counts in Smith's indictment on the J6 case are not applicable to what Smith wrote in the main body of the indictment. Judges should have checked the elements of the statutes, 18 USC 241,,,
@McAdooGordon ...and 18 USC 1512 have no elements that apply to any of that case.
Trump did not perform any acts of physical violence on anyone, and certainly did not do such things while wearing a disguise. Lawyers keep reading the Title of the Statute, "Conspiracy Against Rights," and....
@McAdooGordon ...just charge someone with 18 USC 241, the anti-KKK statute from the 1870s. The title means nothing. The elements of the statute are what determine if someone is chargeable. Smith was actually accusing Trump of violating 18 USC 1346, "Scheme or Artifice to Defraud,"...
With the passage of amendments to the Electoral Count Act, the Vice President, as President of the Senate, can no longer make unilateral decisions of this kind, but is only there for ceremonial duties. These measures were passed in 2022 to make sure such decisions cannot be...
...made by the President of the Senate.
I don't they could after the Hayes-Tilden contested election that included "Alternate Electors'" certificates of votes along with the "Certificates of Ascertainment" submitted by the governors of some former Confederate States in 1877.
@pitch4kdemocrat@marklevinshow@MarcSeeks Ask yourself why there are only 30+ counts in the indictment when 337 total documents were involved in the investigation. Let's take a look back to see what happened to the rest of them.
@pitch4kdemocrat@marklevinshow@MarcSeeks The First 197 documents with classification markings were inside 14 of the 15 boxes that were sent by Trump to NARA. It was THOSE documents with classification markings that were sent to the National Security Division (NSD) of the DOJ for Jay Bratt, the chief of NSD for...
@EdKrassen According to the US v Miller (1939) the maintenance of a "Well Regulated Militia" means that those firearms most like those used by the military are the protected arms under 2d Amendment.
@EdKrassen "In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia,
@EdKrassen "we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment,
@Chris_D_Steele So, we can be confident that Putin had compromising information about BOTH of the candidates of the two major parties since you reported as much in the dossier, starting in the first memorandum.
@Chris_D_Steele "Asked about the Kremlin’s reported intelligence feed to TRUMP over recent years and rumours about a Russian dossier of ‘kornpromat’ on Hillary CLINTON (being circulated), Source B confirmed the file’s existence. S/he confided in a trusted compatriot that it had been collated by
@Chris_D_Steele "Department K of the FSB for many years, dating back to her husband Bill’s presidency, and comprised mainly eavesdropped conversations of various sorts rather than details/evidence of unorthodox or embarrassing behavior. Some of the conversations were from bugged comments..
@emeriticus Not a thing odd about semi-covert CIA connections in situations like this. Here's some more:
In their book, THE ESPIONAGE ESTABLISHMENT, David Wise and Thomas Ross discuss the findings of the Church Committee about how CIA used charitable foundations as money laundries.
@emeriticus One man running the MD Anderson Foundation of Houston, Texas as a "conduit" for CIA money was LEON JAWORSKI, the Special Counsel investigating Watergate.
@emeriticus On Twitter today, we find another example:
