We are in for months & years of uncovering the crimes of Trump and his associates, the political intrigue and ethical breaches, past associations etc. Incidents of the past 5+ years will take on new legal and political meaning as new info comes to light and dots are connected 1/4
We rely on media to get it right & to utilize experts and people with a history, working knowledge and real experience in this arena. It's imperative that editors and TV bookers & producers do their homework and take this seriously when booking guests and signing contributors 2/4
We all paid a price when Zucker did Trump's bidding, banned key critics in an effort to keep Trump in the race for ratings, & hired Trump sycophants despite being proven liars or others who are unqualified. We suffer when pals, girlfriends, relatives are passed off as experts 3/4
FOX is anti-truth so it's critical that MSNBC and, if CNN can dump Zucker, be reliable sources for journalism & professional, trustworthy political analysis. Dial back on the frat party, mindless musings of the uninformed & inexperienced, and cover this new era responsibly 4/4

Sure, George was just so gosh darn naive about Trump even when his wife was trashing Trump when the Conways backed Cruz and then so innocently and naively switched to backing Trump. Golly Gee Wiz!
When George ran out of opportunities in Trump world, he made himself useful infiltrating NeverTrump to get support for Kavanaugh etc, playing the long game to pack the federal judiciary for long after Trump was gone. It worked. It's why Trump didn't lay a glove on him.
George stepped into the spotlight as NeverTrump and joined the DC meetings just weeks before Kennedy announced his retirement and George's pal Kavanaugh was nominated. George helped get NeverTrump support for Kav so Collins etc could feel safe voting to confirm.
I'd like to share some of the many tweets Michael Caputo tweeted as I had two family members lying in hospitals a continent apart. I responded and he had the fake Jack Posobiec bot & troll army swarm their right wing pal at USA Today (2nd run at me after first effort failed) 1/8
"A New York-based Republican political consultant who was approached for a job with the Trump campaign told The Post that Lewandowski openly discussed the role a super PAC would play to support Trump’s candidacy in two meetings in the spring." 1/4
“The super PAC definitely came up in these conversations,” said Cheri Jacobus, who said she met with Lewandowski in mid-May and early June at the Trump Tower in Manhattan to discuss a possible job as a communications director. 2/4
“He mentioned it as part of, ‘This is what’s going on, this is when he plans to announce, the super PAC is in play,’ ” said Jacobus, who has managed several congressional races and previously worked for the Republican National Committee. 3/4
I'm sick and tired of MAGAs acting like abusers and the rest of us have to tiptoe around them and pretend they're not lying, pretend they are informed, pretend they aren't racist, immoral, evil assholes. 1/9
They loudly proclaim their devotion to a lying, cheating, pig of an authoritarian responsible for the ruin of our nation and the death of 220k Americans. They like to intimidate non-Trump cultists into silence, daring us to challenge them & trigger their violent insanity. 2/9
That is their goal -- to drive non-MAGAts into hiding and to silence us. They choose to limit their knowledge and information, because at some level they know. They. Know. 3/9
Barr, Caputo, Grenell, DeJoy -- all installed for nefarious reasons. When unqualified, out-of-the-box names pop up for key posts with Trump, they're to destroy us. These are criminals, thugs & traitors. Dems need to address Trump as a criminal, not just a political opponent 1/6
Grenell was "acting" DNI to consolidate election security intel under DNI so Trump/Putin could cut off intel to Congress to clear the way for Putin to cheat. With no Q & A by Congress, briefers can't give the truth. Lying to Cong would earn them prison. So, no briefings. 2/6
DeJoy was installed at USPS to remove mail boxes and destroy mail sorting machines in order to cheat for Trump by burying Biden votes. By the time we caught on, it was too late. 3/6
Just b4 judge announced decision on my defamation lawsuit against Trump, he (Trump) tried to use/verify/launder info from my hacked email to find out where I was spending most of my time so he cld force a venue change, claiming I wasn't in NY. When his thugs failed, this happened
The FBI (SDNY) was already investigating the hacking of my email that occurred just as POLITICO was calling Team Trump for comment for a big investigative piece they were about to publish on the "catfishing" of me that clearly pointed at Trump thugs.
Catfishing began the day I publicly confirmed a Wash Post report that Trump had a super PAC and was lying when he claimed he was self-funding. I wasn't the source for the piece. But he had Ailes immediately ban me at FOX after approx 1500 appearances over the course of 15 years.
