Good morning troops! Yesterday’s news was unrelenting. Today should be no different. There might be a debate tonight! For sure at 11am there will be a hearing in the case to drop charges against Michael Flynn. Quick refresher👇🏻
Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn lied to the FBI. He plead guilty to this offense twice.
Atty General Bill Barr committed an impeachable act (Obstruction of Justice) by ordering the DOJ to drop the charges against Flynn.
Judge Sullivan is perplexed.
Judge Sullivan phoned a friend and asked whether or not he has a say in whether the charges are dismissed. His friend said yes. Some on the court said no, then the whole district court ruled, yes. After a long process, we’re waiting for the 11am hearing.

But last night...
The attorney for FBI agent Peter Strzok (the agent Flynn lied to) released documents that are alleged to be manipulated by the department of justice to aid Michael Flynn. 👀. Judges tend to not like that sort of thing. The penalty for tampering with evidence is 20 years.
Why would the DOJ lawyers or others, risk their careers and a 20 year prison sentence to tamper with evidence to protect Michael Flynn? And why do it on the eve of the hearing where Judge Sullivan could theoretically grant your wish and dismiss the case?
Another very important point to remember is this: Flynn has yet to be charged with the underlying crimes that prompted him to lie in the first place.
The Tax stories are the why, #volume5 of the Senate’s counterintelligence report on Russian interference is a must read if we are looking for the answers as to the what. All the trains are coming in folks.

“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.

Project 2025 is a day 1 program.

If trump wins, the period between Biden and trump would see the installation of trump acolytes in every corner of our government ready to begin the dismantling of institutions on January 20, 2025.

Have you ever heard of a Blackie’s Warrant?
🧵👇🏻
Of course not because it has no impact on your life whatsoever. Or does it? Because it totally does. If you have ever eaten in a restaurant, or eaten food from a grocery store or stayed in a hotel, or had a loved one being cared for, you may want to keep reading.
On March 17, 1978, a warrant was served upon Blackie’s restaurant as Immigration and Naturalization Services removed 15 employees. 10 of those were proven to be subject to deportation. What was the probable cause to issue such a warrant?

You may have recently seen an article @mtredden wrote in the Huffington Post about Judges going to a fancy West Virginia resort with the Koch funded Judicial Education Institute picking up the tab.



I am not sure I can find the words…👇🏻🤦🏼‍♂️
🧵huffpost.com/entry/judges-l…
The article discusses how a newly appointed federal judge (who is married to an Affinity Partner of Jared Kushner, btw) did away with mask mandates on airplanes with the help of something called the Corpus of Historical American English.

tampabay.com/news/florida/2…
The COHAE is a database of words and their meaning throughout history. According to Corpus of Founding-Era American English and former Chapman University (👀) professor James Phillips, “Corpus linguistics is the tool that originalists have been waiting for.”
