Out sick today
I'm okay
I'll return tomorrow
On top of all the other Trump spygate news
We now know the extent to which Meadows pressured DOJ
And Chris Wray's testimony today?
Only 1 thing to say:
Holy. Shit.

2/"during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday probing the security failures that led to the insurrection, it was revealed that on more than 50 occasions, Parler had attempted to warn the FBI of the growing potential for violence.

3/"Parler had uncovered “specific threats of violence being planned at the Capitol” on its platform and was apparently ready to sing like a canary in the weeks leading up to January 6, outing its own members and providing transcripts of the concerning communication to the feds.

4/"When asked outright by Swalwell during testimony whether or not his agency had received any intelligence from social media companies Christopher Wray was evasive & seemed to downplay the existence of direct evidence that would have pointed to a mounting insurrectionist threat"

5/"“We’ve had so much information, I’m reluctant to answer any questions about the word ‘any,’” Wray said. “Certainly we were aware of online chatter about the potential for violence,

6/"but I’m not aware that we had any intelligence indicating that hundreds of individuals were going to storm the Capitol itself, to my knowledge.”

7/"When pressed on whether or not the FBI had received intelligence from Parler specifically prior to the Jan. 6 attack, Wray conceded that it had, but declined to give specifics on what kind of intelligence had been relayed.

8/"“My understanding is that they sent emails to a particular Field Office and that some of those contained possible threat information and some of them were referred to domestic terrorism squads,” he said.

9/"One post Parler said it forwarded to the FBI called for an armed mob of 150k to march on D.C. on order to “react to the congressional events of [1/6]” Another sought recruits for “lighting up Antifa in [DC]on the 6th” because the user wanted to “start eliminating people"
