Russia had 4 years of their asset in the White House allowed this attack. They mapped our known networks, evaded security & knew Trump would do nothing. Knowing he could/would lose they attacked, placing backdoors, seized software controls & laid boobytraps.
Defector @Snowden’s treason gave Putin an extensive road map of our most classified DOD/CIA/NSA networks as well as how to manipulate switches in unclas systems. Russia used the DNC/DCCC attack to practice. Trump let them run wild. /3

We need a Trump Cyber Crimes Commission to investigate & hold accountable all USG & White House “employees” who let Russia attack us TWICE & run roughshod over our country. /4
Now in Trump World the nuts are claiming that this is all a cover for “Dem manipulation” of Dominion voting machines that “stole” the election from Trump. In their fevered brains Delta Force attacked & killed CIA officers at a server farm in Germany to get evidence. #ISYN

LIVE TWEETING #MuellerHearings Today will determine if #RobertMueller is loyal to the Constitution above all or to his love of institutional procedure. America’s Constitutional Republic could die today or fight back.
@HouseJudiciary ASK HIM: Are you still loyal to the values of the Marine Corps? #SemperFi? Then answer in that spirit. Do you Defend America first or William Barr?
Nadler positively frames Mueller with his own summaries & praises his credentials. Mueller cannot contradict that.
1. THREAD: 30 years ago I helped demolish the Iranian navy. Before that there were years of attacks on Iraq/GCC in Tanker war. Not til they covertly/indiscrim mined & damaged USS SB Roberts in 1988 did we attack. It wasn’t a light decision. We could prove acts beyond any doubt
2. IRGC are an asymmetric terror militia. They may/may not have hit tankers. I’ve seen DOD vids. It’s all postattack but nothing preattack or placing charges. Only IR reax to 2 burning ships 20nm away. This isn’t Boghammers shooting rkts all day & kidnapping crews like in 80s.
3. Also a missile fm Yemen to Abha Airport & a single rkt in Baghdad do not equate to regionwide conflict agnst USA. They have own local reasons. Also ISIS/Talib IED in Afg is NOT part of IRGC PG threat. @SecPompeo lumping these is wrong & gins up bad Turner Joy/WMD comparisons.
THREAD: My thoughts on Paul Whelan’s Captivity. Many know I was a SERE instructor but I also taught a course on what to do when detained as a bargaining chip by Hostile Governments like Russia. Having studied material in press I don’t believe is Whelan is an Intel asset.
This form of captivity is officially called Hostile Government Detention. No matter your status it’s designed to get a geopolitical bargaining chip, usually by false accusations of “spy” of American citz. Actual spies are handled differently and exchanged for opposition spies.
HG Detainees are held to get a concession. In this case the release of Russia’s subcontractor Spy Maria Butina. Whelan was a good choice. Disgraced military history (bad conduct discharge for theft) but somehow gained position of trust in US Corp security. Russophile, proTrump.
