Frustrated we haven’t been provided with a mugshot from the inner circle yet? Angry about seemingly no consequences for the last 4 years? There are signs things are in fact moving. That justice is coming. This is one of those little threads of hope to outline what’s up.🧵👇🏻
Firstly, Mitch McConnell ran as much time off the clock prior to confirming Merrick Garland as Attorney General. But now AG Garland is in his seat, and time has run out.
Let’s start in the Senate...
@amyklobuchar Chair of the Rules committee has co-chaired two hearings into the Capitol Assault on January 6th. The second meeting produced this👇🏻
Did you notice in the hearing, @SenWhitehouse is very concerned about the SCOTUS? Well, he is. Check out this letter he just sent to our aforementioned Attorney General. whitehouse.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
Now on to the House. @RepZoeLofgren has produced an interactive document showing House Members social media posts before, during and after the Insurrection. She is looking to hold them accountable via the 14th Amendment.
These three Members of Congress, @amyklobuchar@SenWhitehouse@RepZoeLofgren are leading the investigation. But they are not the only ones. It is people like you reading this who have contributed to these investigations. You voted. None of this is exposed without voting.

There is so much to unpack in this ODNI intelligence community report into 2020 election interference and specifically an effort to smear Biden regarding Ukraine. Let’s take a look... 🧵👇🏻
Firstly, the findings of the IC are specific about the fact that no actor was able to change any votes from a technical perspective.
Simply put, the kraken is dead, Rudy better look under the pillows for $1.3b and a really, really good lawyer.
Secondly, Putin was behind this using proxy’s to spread disinformation about Biden in an effort to help his trump get re-elected. Unlike last time (you know, the hoax 😉) Russia didn’t try to access the election systems. They just used people. Which people?(📌1)
Ok Catholic Church...let’s talk about sinning and choices.

I’ve never shared this story with anyone but my wife...
tldr: I’m lucky. 🧵👇🏻
When I was young, in an effort to create a relationship with his grandson, my grandfather decided I would go to church on Sundays. My parents agreed. I did not. I was maybe 6 or 7 years old.
Every Sunday, I had to get up early, wear uncomfortable clothes, get picked up by a man I did not really know and spend an hour being quiet.
I reviewed the @RepZoeLofgren document that outlines the 14th Amendment and shows 121 Members of Congress who shared social media posts about the election in the lead up to the Insurrection. The below is a deeper look by the numbers.
I have been following our government since trump descended the escalator and mentioned ‘rapists’ in his presidential candidacy launch speech. After watching hearings and reading transcripts for years, one begins to recognize certain issues and message pushing narratives.
One may get to a point where their unconscious bias may take over and I didn’t want to reach that point when I reviewed this @RepZoeLofgren 14th Amendment Document. I was sure I could name those who were on it and those I think need to be expelled, but I wanted to remove my bias.
Folks, there are certain Members of Congress doing things that are of true public service. @RepZoeLofgren is such a member. This is something that has flown under the radar, but is extremely important for our democracy. It has to do with the #14thAmendment. 🧵👇🏻
The 14th amendment is the one that basically says, if you engaged in insurrection, you can’t hold public office.
Please read it or just follow along in the thread below. (But read it, to form your own conclusions)
The document outlines 121 Members of Congress social media posts. It shows their name, district, state, committees they sit on (ie armed services, intelligence 👀) and social media posts they sent before, during, and after the Insurrection. I place them into one of 4 categories:
On January 6th, 2021 the United States endured a deadly insurrection upon its Capitol, unleashed by its president. Insurrectionists are being arrested and charged, but what about those responsible for planning and producing the days activities? 🧵👇🏻
Settle in folks, this is going to be a morning coffee kind of thread. Here we go...
Prior to Insurrectionists entering the Senate chamber, there was a ‘rally’ at the Ellipse 📌1(put a pin in that). The rally had logos displaying My Pillow and Women For America First PAC.
This is a logical place to start if you’re wondering who paid for or who put this production together. We now know that the My Pillow guy is being sued for $1.3b for spreading lies about the election software used to count votes. Here is that lawsuit. beta.documentcloud.org/documents/2048…
Let’s take a wee look at trump’s inauguration fund shall we? You may have recently heard Jr and Ivanka have been deposed. But this could go way further than the kids. 🧵👇🏻
This started in December of 2018. Two things that stick out to me in the above article is the information came from Michael Cohen just prior to his imprisonment, and Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. You remember her...she was friends with Melania.
