THREAD: 1/ The Biden administration didn't go further than SSCI. SSCI "found that Konstantin Kilimnik is a Russian intelligence officer", thus Manafort would've been sharing polling data directly with Russian intelligence. The FBI/Mueller only saw "ties" between Kilimnik and RIS.
2/ SSCI also assessed that Deripaska deputy Viktor Boyarkin was a GRU officer who Kilimnik told Manafort he had been "sending everything to" for Deripaska. Rick Gates thought Kilimnik would share the polling data with Deripaska (via Boyarkin), but SSCI had no evidence of this.
3/ Mueller referred to Boyarkin just as "Deripaska's deputy" and had no insight into what happened with the polling data after it was sent to Kilimnik. Gates explained that Manafort was sharing the polling data with Deripaska to thwart a lawsuit.
4/ Given the @USTreasury provided no new evidence of Kilimnik passing polling data to RIS, assume that Biden is adopting Mueller's view that Kilimnik is tied to RIS and taking Gates's word that he was passing the data to SSCI's GRU officer Viktor Boyarkin. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
5/ We still haven't seen any evidence that Kilimnik or Boyarkin are Russian intelligence officers, however we do know that Kilimnik was a State Department source for Alan Purcell, Alexander Kasanoff, and Eric Schultz. I'd take salt with this entire story. thehill.com/opinion/white-…

Big Tech - the invisible h& behind societal destruction Guest article by @LibsOwner
1/11 The internet & social media have become the main & almost only communication medium in our society. Even those who still get their information from TV inadvertently rely on the internet, since TV journalists use the internet & social media to garner their information. The internet, however, has fallen under the control of 7 companies: Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, & Twitter (until EM). These seven companies are heavily tied to the Democrat party collude among themselves, distorting communication & even manipulating our perception of reality.
2/11 The Obama administration hand-picked the companies that have now become #BigTech,(1) , in part by creating thousands of government accounts on $FB, YouTube, LinkedIn, & Twitter, thus endorsing them.
3/11 It also signed agreements with those companies on almost the same terms as ordinary users. (2) It did not do that with Murdoch-owned MySpace or politically balanced tech companies.
@CMstudmuffin and I hit some trees, which is very understandable at Watson. This tree hit was brought to you by my Team G Platinum HD Devilhawk. Greg counted up for a count down 🤔
