1. What did @foxnews @TuckerCarlson @seanhannity & @rupertmurdoch know and when did they know it?

2. Can we show Rudy's Kremlin intel propaganda was pushed out knowingly by right wing amplifiers like @FoxNews? Develop evidence that they knew it was coming from a Russian intelligence sources. That might put @foxandfriends et al in the barrel with Rudy.
3. My guess is that there are Fox News interviews where Rudy tells them about his Russian intel sources. If there are, I think that could establish willfulness on the part of Fox News and expose them to charges for not complying with FARA and marking it as propaganda.
4. NB FARA was amended during Clinton by a sketchy later-imprisoned House member who changed the term from "propaganda" to "information material." I wonder if the Kremlin put him up to it? Who else would care? @FBIWFO

1. Appears that John Solomon started pushing anti-Biden disinformation Spring of 2019 and was running his work by Lev Parnas and Tensing/DeGenova.
Wiki:
"Prior to the publication of a story where Solomon alleged that the Obama administration had pressured the Ukrainian government
2. to stop investigating a group funded by George Soros, Solomon sent the full text of his report to Ukrainian-American businessman Lev Parnas and the two pro-Trump lawyers and conspiracy theorists Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing.[34] Solomon said he did so for fact-
3. checking, but Parnas, DiGenova and Toensing were not mentioned in the text, nor did Solomon send individual items of the draft for vetting (but rather the whole draft)."

Here are links to his two 2019 pieces published by The Hill.

Minutes before Trump left office, millions of the Pentagon’s dormant IP addresses sprang to life washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
2. On all these IPs suddenly going live, it looks to me like our folks are just showing our adversaries a supply of rocks out just in case there's a rock fight.

From the article: "The change is the handiwork of an elite Pentagon unit known as the Defense Digital Service, which

1. A few notes on the #Schaeffer plea. He apparently was not charged initially with a felony so he had no grand jury indictment or waiver. Some minor housekeeping filings and then an information filed yesterday that charged 18 USC 1512(c)(2) obstructing Congress.
2. The new 1512(c)(2) charge appears to be the felony hammer they are using to hit a lot of people and a few weeks ago they started indicting people on conspiracy for it. IMO that is where TFG and his crew including complicit members of Congress are likely to be charged.
3. I personally would have no hesitation charging the seven @SenateGOP and the over 100 @HouseGOP with it along with TFG and about 100 of his crew including possibly Charles Koch and Ginni Thomas based on their funding of the insurrection if there is any evidence that they knew

1. When I was about 7, my dad taught me how to act if I got arrested. He was a person without ambiguity. He was also a police commissioner and knew that arrests are dangerous moments. Everyone plays a role in everyone going home. I looked at the video. Young black officer
2. was being civil but tipped the arrest without backup near him. The suspect was struggling just slightly and the arresting officer appeared to be communicating with him, I think he asked him to cooperate. Then he bolted. What followed was apparently an accidental shooting.
3. The officer who fired knew it was wrong. Why a young person would flee in that circumstance is unclear to me. I can imagine reasons but will wait to see what the investigation shows.

1. Why do we allow police to be in unions? First, they cannot legally strike. Comp & work rules are by arbitration. Second, they are not workers in the classic sense. They carry the right to kill citizens based on their authority. They swear an oath to uphold the people's rights.
2. Would we tolerate the military forming a union? They are sworn to uphold the same rights but they are not paid overtime and don't have a union. IMO we need to pay police top salaries and end all overtime. Hire them as management and subject to review for advancement.
3. They should have rights to prevent arbitrary discipline and termination and have their discipline determined judicially like the military. But anyone carrying a firearm for "the state" needs to act like military members with no right to avoid daily responsibility for failings.
