1/ This story omg nytimes.com/2021/01/22/us/…
3/ This kind of direct and illegal pressure on DOJ (and Georgia, and god knows who else) to overturn election results isn't in the articles of impeachment but maybe it should be.

If Republicans think two weeks is going to present a better set of facts, boy I don't know.
4/ Hard to even tell anymore, but this might be in top five most bonkers/illegal/scary stories of the entire Trump era.
5/ Tried to illegally influence election officials to overturn election
Tried to illegally influence DOJ to overturn election
Tried to illegally influence VP to overturn election
When that didn't work, he incited a mob to storm Capitol
6/ Increasingly clear that we had a closer call than even nail bitters like me knew at the time.
7/ Clark—a leading DOJ lawyer—being radicalize by some crap he read on the Internet is the low-key scariest bit of all this maybe.

They should review his browser history.
8/ What's fascist for chutzpah?
9/ This maybe helps explain why Rosen (and Wray?) kept such a low profile after 1/6.

Knowing that Trump and Clark would go this far...
10/ Do not miss that Jeffrey Clark is also the guy that Trump put on trying to keep @ejeancarroll from suing him for libel (and getting DNA discovery admitted re her rape allegation): twitter.com/ejeancarroll/s
11/ In addition to possibly explaining why Rosen and Wray were mum re 1/6, this story might be key to the resignation of US Attorney BJ Pak and maybe even Bill Barr. npr.org/2021/01/05/953…
12/ Post team confirms @ktbenner's massive scoop washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

1/ I've watched (part of) Navalny's "Putin's Palace" exposé, and I suggest you do same. (It is subtitled.) It's half psychological profile/biography and half @60Minutes style follow the money report, citing rafts of documents, using drone footage. Now...
2/ I cannot verify its claims. You'd need to be a Russian speaker commanding a team of forensic accountants, for starters. But the pattern of Putin using "wallets"—old friends and cronies to horcrux his vast stolen wealth—is well known. He may be richest person in world.
3/ "Putin's Palace" hones in on one...palace...estimated to cost $1.3 BILLION. But it's the pattern of how the money is hidden that's more nefarious, esp put against what Russia spends on its people in pensions and otherwise. Here's a @CNN summary cnn.com/2021/01/20/eur…

Is the Times really going to keep doing this shit?

OMG, he has a Peleton! Omg, he has a Rolex.

WHO THE FUCK JUST HELD OFFICE AND WHAT KIND OF GOLD PLATED TOILET DID HE HAVE
Aside from everything else, like false equivalencies, which is the Times' Achilles heel, always, these two stories are a serious mismanagement of reporting firepower.

real fucking briefings. such a relief c-span.org/video/?508191-…
Fauci looks reborn.
Fauci is such a great science communicator and Trump had him on a shelf for the past seven months.

I could listen to him saying "diminution" all day.

Watching @PressSec give a Before Times press conference—taking and answering questions openly and non-abusively—is something that not only members of the media should appreciate.
"Thank you everyone, let's do this again tomorrow."

Uh...are we sure this isn’t a black ops marketing campaign for a sequel to The Terminal?
I mean...three months ago, California had some of the best COVID stats in the country, also 😢
This guy is like scoring airport badges and getting people to feed him...but could also just head to Chicago itself, maybe?

oh my god i may stroke out from rage. Where was this thinking during GamerGate @alexisohanian?
washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/maga…
Reddit under Ohanian was one of—maybe the—biggest engines of hate and harassment around.
Ohanian doesn't get to greenwash his complicity in the rise of hate brigades just because he married Serena and has a daughter.
