Kohl from the DoJ: Gleeson suggests we're just giving opaque reasons, but we are giving very specific reasons that any prosecutor would find troubling and be unwilling to proceed. if three different IG's have found your only witnesses were lying under oath, misleading
or misleading the court, how can you go forward. Then when Comey was asked if flynn was lying, he said "it's close, you can make an argument". That's not definitive. Finally, with these sorts of facts where the agents themselves aren't convinced he's guilty...
career prosecutors wouldn't bring charges, and it's interesting because when the agents were done interviewing him, it came over to DoJ and there were discussions whether or not to do another interview. The DAG asked the agents if his recollection was accurate
but they never went back for a second interview. Moving to dismiss is not political and we ask you to dismiss today.

THREAD: BREAKING: JD Vance says he would consider privatizing Veterans health care. This is something I know a little bit about. 1/
I worked for the Veterans Health Administration for over a decade, and that entire time, republicans have been trying to privatize our healthcare. Spurred by private health providers, big donors, and lobbyist's money - the want to move Veteran care to the private sector. 2/
There are several reasons that is a terrible idea, and why for so long Veterans and Veteran Service Organizations and Unions continually push back on the idea. First and foremost, it increases the wait time to get an appointment. 3/

Tim Pool is claiming that $100K per podcast episode is the normal market value of a show that gets 100K-200K views. I own a podcast network with shows that outperform his, and that’s absolutely not true. 1/
Market average is about $9 CPM (per thousand spins) per brand. Even with a 100% fill rate (unheard of) with 6 brands (also unheard of), that’s about $7,200 per episode for 100K views. $14,400 for 200K. Reality is closer to half. And that’s gross (before the network, ad agency, and talent agents take their cut). $100K per episode is market value for a show that gets MILLIONS of downloads. 2/
Also, Tim would be wise to stop talking publicly about this. Not just because I’m personally tired of his lies, but because he’s part of a criminal investigation now. Just my two cents. END/

THREAD: GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN: The republicans are threatening to shut down the government by attaching the SAVE Act to the government funding CR.

The SAVE Act penalizes CITIZENS by forcing them to prove their citizenship in order to vote - when it's already illegal for non-citizens to vote. 1/
This is a voter suppression tactic designed to stop CITIZENS from voting - particularly marginalized communities. The goal is to wear people down with paperwork to get them to give up on voting, because republicans never pass bills that make it EASIER for citizens to vote. 2/
The other equally insidious goal of the bill is to give them pretext to shut down the government so they can blame Biden when working Americans are furloughed and Military Members don't get their paychecks. In fact, no government employees do. 3/

THREAD: SPACE BEANS: This is what I bet happened with the trump sham ceremony at Arlington. This is speculation based on past behavior (with some actual events peppered in.)

1. Trump got some internal polling numbers (I still don't get why the public gets different polling than the candidates, but I digress) - so the Trump campaign got some unfavorable polling numbers that show Harris is the candidate of freedom and patriotism (speculation) 1/
2. So the Trump campaign decides they need to hurt Harris with Veterans and the Military. They cook up an idea to create a wreath-laying ceremony on the anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal. So they call up Arlington, who abruptly tells them they are forbidden by law to create campaign ads at Arlington. (It's been confirmed that Arlington told Trump ahead of time that he couldn't film there.) 2/
3. After whining and crying about that for a while, they call up Mike Johnson and tell him to force Arlington to let them in with their private photographers and videographers. Johnson calls up a friend and pulls some strings and tells Trump he can come in, but he still can't use his own photos and video. (It's been confirmed Johnson pulled strings, but we don't have any details on how.) 3/

Okay, I'm going to do my best to ignore the Superman shirt thing for a second and answer the @AlanDersh question about how DoJ is going to prove trump knew he lost the election. 2/
From pp 6 of the superseding indictment: "The Defendant was on notice that his claims were untrue. He was told so by those most invested in his re-election, including his own running mate and his campaign staff." So testimony from these folks will prove it. 3/

THREAD: I’ve had MSNBC on for ten minutes and here’s what I’ve heard.

Gabe Gutierrez commenting on the Harris Walz rallies says something to the effect of “well she is being criticized for not doing press conferences or interviews.”

He said this with a straight face, never mentioning Trump failing to do any interviews or press conferences and just one rally.

And no, the one hour “press conference” with hand-picked journalists asking spoon-fed questions off mic from Mar a Lago does not a “press conference” make. Gabe failed to mention Trump lied 162 times in that hour, and left out all the times this week that Harris and Walz DID take questions from reporters. 1/
Next, they criticize Kamala for not having any policy out yet. LOL WHAT?

Then they immediately play a clip OF SOME POLICY shared by Harris at a rally THIS WEEK saying we need comprehensive immigration reform including increasing security and a path to citizenship.

Then MSNBC comes back and asks “IS IT ENOUGH OR DOES SHE NEED TO DEFINE IT MORE”

Omg fuck OFF. We can’t get trump to answer how he plans to deport 11M people while putting babies in tender age facilities and you’re gonna sit here and WONDER what Harris’s policy is? SHE’S BEEN VP FOR OVER THREE YEARS. START THERE.

or maybe wait another two weeks for trump’s health care plan. 2/
Then they pivot to “Oh well trump is on truth social questioning Harris’ crowd size.”

First of all, no he’s not. He’s accusing her of using AI to make her crowds look larger. And don’t get me started on how trump told the Park Service to lie about his crowd size.

But the reporter actually said Trump’s claims about AI “don’t really have merit.”

Don’t really have merit? How about “ridiculous lie”? 3/
