1/7 Now onto Covid. While one extreme denies and the other panics...there is a middle for most of us and some states have found that. California continues to be a complete mess handling this...as I mentioned a few weeks ago, I had a few health...
2/7 professionals on the front lines who suggested the shutdown would actually make things much worse. Unlike mid-March to mid-May...it’s colder now outside, darker much earlier and “Covid fatigue” has people not being as diligent.
3/7 They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear for their jobs. They worried that multi-family households and poorer households would suffer most..and that is what we are seeing. NOW I get this from a prominent Covid location..doing great work in a very rough time
4/7 “Adam in our micro communities the positivity rate in the last two weeks is out of control four times that of suburban. What they have in common...they’re packed inside of small apartments and condos.
What does that mean to you and I
5/7 There’s no fresh air. Adam there’s a reason why we see thousands of people every week outdoors who’re not testing positive. Just open up restaurants/businesses outdoors fresh air state wide. But don’t put a big ol wedding tent thats asking for trouble you need fresh air.
6/7 When you close the restaurants to “ take out only “ people gather in tiny apartments. Last week we were feeding 40 families under quarantine in apartments, just to entice them to stay under quarantine.
7/7 they all had Covid inside their apartments. But they were under fear that if they went to work and said they needed 10 days off they will get fired. Because the competition for jobs is so stiff under the governors orders. So they’ve been going to work.”

1/5 As a kid I found a book in 4th grade in the little library at Yountville School. It was about Satchel Paige. I was enamored. I couldn't understand why there was a different league because of color, especially since my school had kids of all colors who played everything..
2/5 (cont) together. I would read the book multiple times and remember dreaming about going back in time and making them all play together. Years later while sitting in a dugout in Cedar Rapids Iowa for pregame a man stood next to me. His name...Bob Feller. I got the chance to
3/5 talk about the "old days"...including a few quick memories about playing against the Negro Leaguers. It wasn't as long a conversation that I wanted due to the ceremonies which included him...nor as in depth...but it was memorable for me to hear his thoughts on it all.

1/6 ok here we go: you guys know my affinity for FBI field agents and the work they do every min of every day. You also know the frustration that exists with many of those agents and many of you with FBI headquarters...now this.
2/6 This is no October surprise...this actually falls flatly on the back of the FBI that failed to address this beginning more than one year ago and came out now also due to a series of keystone cop decisions by Republican staffers to flat ignore this family for months.
3/6 I am a reporter and I now have direct knowledge of the timeline and other info. Throughout this entire process JP and his family...dad is a Vietnam Vet...have done everything by the book. They were first rebuffed in September 2019 by the FBI...that’s no October surprise.

1/6 Spoke and exchanged emails with a prominent attorney and a judge today about the ramifications of the alleged conspirators withholding evidence in Flynn case. While neither would directly/specifically address the merits of the case, they did indicate that if it is found
2/6 that they knowingly, purposefully, withheld exculpatory evidence,that would put them in significant “world of hurt. The Brady Rule (derived fromBrady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83) requires prosecution to disclose any “materially exculpatory evidence in its possession” to defense
3/6 Previous cases where the prosecution purposefully withheld evidence has resulted in a range of (for lack of better terms), penalties. These range from (during trial) a judge providing instructions to the jury, to outright dismissal of a case, to sanctions against prosecutors

1/4 The mother of former soldier detained in Venezuela Luke Denman says this to me and please retweet: Kat Denman, Mother of Luke: “My son Luke is a decorated soldier who served his country for many years. He left the military in 2015 for married life and the last we heard he
2/4 had been employed at a tree farm and had recently been doing commercial diving. This was his his first assignment for a private security firm headed by a colleague of his he trusted from their time together serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
3/4 I can only believe he didn’t know what he was getting into. All I know is I want my son home but while he is in Venezuela I want I want him to be treated humanely. I am reaching out to the Red Cross, human rights watch an amnesty international and asking them to check in

1/4 From one science source on front lines against Covid: "Two stages to investigations: a)quick search for low-hanging fruit & clear/obvious trends b)the slow,detailed, messy slog through seemingly muddled and contradictory results in total (not just selective data, anecdotes)
2/4 There is actually quite a bit of low hanging fruit here: young seem ok (different than the 1917 flu), old and co-morbidities r bad, rarer but harsh effects on middle aged folks, Many folks w no symptoms, etc. 'But I think we r entering the second stage: slow slog. Messy,
3/4 few people, even “experts”, have the patience, diligence, objectivity etc. to sort the wheat from the chaff. Hydrozychloroquine is just one example: as all drugs have side effects, is the tremendous resistance objective or political?

1/8 Read this next thread...I first learned of Omar Montoya about this time 3 years ago. Followed the case, then when I left news I lost track..only to recently re connect with it.
2/8 Omar Montoya was an FBI electronics technician..who helped install Director Comey’s cameras in his Connecticut home when he was made director in 2013.
Omar was also the equal employee opportunity office representative for the New Haven office where he worked.
3/8 This same FBI office pressured Omar to take their side over a dustup with an agent…whistleblower…drumroll please…agent Kurt Siuzdak. The same one the FBI would eventually settle with. Omar said he wouldn’t take their side because he had to be neutral…just doing his job
