Hi, David Schoen.

First off, your client's aide (a known liar working for a known liar) denying a story for which I had multiple sources does not refute, & your client/his aide's LONG record of denying stories that were later confirmed as true (see Daniels, Stormy), actually...
...even more credibility to the reporting.

Second, the date is February 12, 2021.

I worked for Sputnik for a six-month period in 2017. That's not "recent."

What's more, I was fired from that job because of my *refusal* to promote the a conspiracy theory your client's media...
...allies were pushing about the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich. In fact, your client's favorite cable network recently settled a lawsuit with the Rich family by paying a large sum of money because your friends boosted the Russian propaganda I was fired for refusing to promote.
When I was asked to tell US authorities about my experience, I did so voluntarily and told the truth (unlike your former client Roger Stone) and helped them determine that Sputnik was acting as an unregistered foreign agent (like your client's first national security adviser).
Since then, I've worked hard to build up a reputation as a dedicated, trustworthy journalist, and I believe any number of people out there will tell you I've done exactly that. So perhaps you might not want to question my credibility. I stand by my reporting.

NEW: Current and former House staffers say @HouseDemocrats push to kick @RepMTG off committees gave @GOPLeader exactly what he wanted — precedent and grievance.

independent.co.uk/voices/marjori…
One GOP staffer said Democrats’ response to Greene was “entirely predictable” and described McCarthy’s reaction in blunt terms: “Kevin is just about as happy as a pig in s**t right now.” independent.co.uk/voices/marjori…
Ex-@GOPoversight spox @kurtbardella said @GOPLeader “allowed the Democrats to do his dirty work for him rather than address it directly.” independent.co.uk/voices/marjori…

Luke does a good job of making a case for why substack is good for many writers and subscribers here, but I would just like to point out that starting one's own newsletter product is not a viable option for the vast majority of folks writing about DC politics/policy because.. 1/
...of some major institutional roadblocks. Reporting from Capitol Hill, for instance, requires press credentials that are issued based on employment with a credentialed outlet. Getting a new publication approved is a multi-month process that is opaque, byzantine & not... 2/
...traditionally hospitable to freelancers running their own subscription-based product w/o some sort of financial backing.

Even if one wanted to do some sort of very niche agency coverage substack, press access at many depts/agencies require Hill creds as a prerequisite... 3/

NEW: Voting rights legislation is a priority for @HouseDemocrats, @SenateDems, and the Biden @WhiteHouse, but Republicans have already started trying to roll back the voting methods Democrats to take control of Washington last year. independent.co.uk/voices/mitch-m…
Ex-@GOP Chair @MichaelSteele says efforts to restrict the ballot are par for the course for the party he once led: "“It is consistent with what we've seen from some members of my party in various states over the last 10 years or so, if not more." independent.co.uk/voices/mitch-m…
“This is an extension of the fear that Republicans have that they can't win without tipping the scales in their favor, whether it’s draconian measures on voter ID...the locations of polling places, or absentee balloting," @MichaelSteele said. independent.co.uk/voices/mitch-m…

NOW: @WhiteHouse Covid adviser @ASlavitt says "it will be months before everyone who wants a vaccine will be able to get one."

No stockpile exists, White House is maintaining supply on a 2-3 day rolling basis, sending as received from manufacturers.
.@ASlavitt says White House will give states more visibility into supply, but Congress needs to pass Biden's rescue package to ensure supply increases.
More supplies of low dead space syringes is key to increasing vaccinations, @ASlavitt says.

SPLIT SCREEN:

On @MSNBC, ⁦@chrislhayes⁩ talks to ⁦@RepJeffries⁩ about the threats made against his family, while at the exact same time Tulsi Gabbard keeps trying out for a Fox gig by calling Democrats who are concerned about violent extremists “domestic enemies.”
Gabbard says the country will no longer exist unless Democrats denounce @JohnBrennan, who is not currently a government official and has no authority over anyone whatsoever.
Gabbard is immediately followed by the MyPillow guy, who is complaining that retailers don't want to sell HisPillow anymore.

So @seanspicer is again complaining about the @WHCA taking too long to approve his application, as if he's a victim of some form of "cancel culture."

I have no idea what the WHCA will decide, but it very much looks like he's ineligible.

Here's why. (thread 1/)
You see, Newsmax isn't Sean's only gig.

Sean has two other ventures going. RigWil and Point 1.

RigWil, according to his website and this @PRWeekUS piece, is "a strategic consulting firm that provides insights to C-suite corporate and association executives."

One of his employees even said he's "advising clients who are "looking to have meetings on the Hill." 3/
