Right-wing provocateur-activists at Project Veritas, aided by former British spy, plotted to discredit then-NSA McMaster & other perceived “deep state” enemies of Trump
via @nytimes nytimes.com/2021/05/13/us/…
"The scheme against Mr. McMaster…was one of the most brazen operations of the campaign. It involved a plan to hire a woman armed with a hidden camera to capture Mr. McMaster making inappropriate remarks [to] use as leverage to get him ousted as national security adviser." Image
Barbara Ledeen, ally of ousted NSA Mike Flynn, aided a Project Veritas operation to entrap Flynn successor McMaster. The plot was to recruit a woman w/ a hidden camera to strike up a conversation & "over drinks" get him to make comments to be leveraged against him, get him fired. Image
Barbara Ledeen has quite the right-wing operative pedigree. Longtime GOP Senate staffer, she appears in Mueller's Russia probe report plotting for Peter Smith to get Hillary's emails, and prepping Mike Flynn's Kislyak calls. And she's married to Iran-Contra figure Michael Ledeen. Image

Whataboutism, platitudes and lies. That's all you get from Republicans. In every hearing on Trump, from the Russia investigation to today's Jan.6 oversight hearing. The GOP is irredeemable.
@OversightDems @GOPoversight #January6 #CapitolInsurrection #MAGATerrorists
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. GOP Rep. Paul Gosar should be in jail for inciting the January 6th insurrection. Instead, he's participating in the House Oversight Hearing, where he's pushing propaganda downplaying the attack from the very Capitol attacked by his terrorists.
Oh here we go again. We're living in GOP Groundhog Day hell. Rep. Jody Hice denies Trump incited the riot b/c he said the word "peaceful." Hice has the gall to say "truth matters" as he literally lies—accusing the media & Democrats of pushing "a false narrative" about January 6🤯

@NPR During Dec.21 legislative session, #GOP Rep. Mike Nearman opened the doors to the #Oregon State Capitol building for #FarRight protesters. Shortly after that breach, demonstrators scuffled with state troopers & Salem police. One man is accused of spraying officers with bear mace.
@NPR ICYMI A Republican lawmaker literally opened the Oregon state Capitol to a #FarRight mob who scuffled w/ police, shattered glass doors & assaulted journalists.

At least 3 people in the Salem protest went on to participate in the US Capitol attack in Washington, DC, on January 6.

Be careful what you wish for in #Russia? Russian commission says @navalny requested painkiller injections in prison, after an open letter from Russian doctors asked for medical assistance for his severe back & leg pain. But Navalny's lawyers don't seem to know of the request.
@navalny Maybe I'm too cynical. But I worry about Navalny getting injections in a Russian prison. What a convenient way to harm him. Putin is a killer after all. And Navalny wouldn't be in prison if he wasn't a serious threat to Putin. Navalny should have his doctor administer injections.
@navalny I mean, Putin already had a death squad smear a chemical weapon on Navalny's underpants while the guy was traveling. Now he's a sitting duck. Why wouldn't killer Putin use Navalny's back pain as an opportunity to kill him in prison? Want more than ibuprofen? Sure thing, Alexey.😨 Image

💥Dominion Voting Systems Files Defamation Suit v. FOXNEWS, accused of pushing disinformation & lies for profit

"Fox took a small flame and turned it into a forest fire… sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes" cnn.com/2021/03/26/med…
“As the dominant media company among those viewers dissatisfied with the election results, Fox gave these fictions a prominence they otherwise would never have achieved.”

Voting-Machine Company Dominion Sues Fox News Over Election Claims wsj.com/articles/votin…
When does Dominion sue Trump? He tweeted lies about its voting machines 34 times. The 1st: 186K retweets. Altogether ~1.4 MILLION RTs. Trump lies were integral to FoxNews lies, together creating a firehose of disinformation so toxic, radicalized terrorists attacked US Capitol.

US Army reservist arrested in Jan.6 Capitol attack was a known white supremacist. Coworkers said Timothy Hale-Cusanelli of Colts Neck NJ was a Nazi sympathizer and even grew a “Hitler mustache” while working as a Navy contractor with security clearance. washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/03…
US Army reservist was so openly racist about killing Jewish, Black & disabled people, coworkers were afraid to report him. Arguably worse: His supervisor said he knew Hale-Cusanelli was a Nazi sympathizer & Holocaust denier but didn’t mention it b/c he wasn’t personally offended. Image
😳Neo-Nazi Capitol rioter & Army reservist Hale-Cusanelli told ppl
◾️Hitler should’ve finished the job
◾️Babies born w/ disabilities should be shot
◾️He’d’ve killed all the Jews & eat them for breakfast lunch & dinner—w/o seasoning b/c the salt from their tears would be flavorful Image

🚨Kremlin crackdown Saturday: Police in Moscow Raid Pro-Democracy Forum, arrest over 180 people from across #Russia, including elected officials, activists & journalists. Among them @vkaramurza, victim of 2 assassination attempts per @bellingcat voanews.com/europe/police-…
@vkaramurza @bellingcat #Russia: “I've never seen a whole conference arrested… Kafka would probably envy what’s happening in our country. He couldn’t possibly have had enough imagination,” opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza said of today's raid on a pro-democracy educational forum in Moscow.
@vkaramurza @bellingcat #Russia|n authorities can't get their pretexts straight. First they said they raided the pro-#democracy Independent Deputies Forum b/c "undesirable" NGO Open Russia sponsored it.

TASS however reported police accused participants of violating COVID restrictions, apparently false.
