A report from IG Bolton id'd sev gaps in training and comms that hampered CP response. Only 22 of 29 members of 1 unit had compl the cert for the weapons they carry — and those who had not suffered “no repercussions.” IG desc the findings as “devastating”

Concerns were also raised about Bolton’s recent discovery that the Capitol Police had contracted a training organization that displayed slogans and iconography on its website favored by white supremacist groups: Northern Red

Gretta Goodwin, the GAO dir in charge of justice and law enforcement programs, who in 2017 conducted an audit of the Capitol Police Board. She said that GAO has “been attempting to contact the Board since 2017, and we have not gotten any substantive response”
GOP lawmakers — who have urged Congress to overhaul the board as a matter of first concern before implementing other changes to the Capitol Police force — seized on that lack of response, which Goodwin testified was dramatically worse than the response rate from other agencies

These docs show that Trump tried to corrupt the DOJ in a brazen attempt to overturn an election that he lost.

@RepMaloney is there no evidence of Congress people being involved?

The widening schism between Israeli factions — left and right, religious and secular, Arabs and Jews — is one of the most obvious marks that Netanyahu leaves on the country.

washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
In 2009, he became the first leader from his right-wing Likud party to say he supported a two-state solution, which entails a Palestinian state next to Israel. Six years later, however, he pledged that no Palestinian state would happen “on my watch.”

That's a huge switch
Netanyahu traveled to Brasilia for the inauguration of Jair Bolsonaro, hosted Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and sold weapons to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

“All of a sudden he was buddies with all of these thuggish guys. It seemed to be about showing he was Trump’s wingman.”

🚨Apple told McGahn the WH counsel to Trump, last month that the Justice Department had subpoenaed information about an account that belonged to him in February 2018, and that the government barred the company from telling him at the tim

Apple told McGahn that it complied with the subpoena but declined to tell him what it provided. Under DOJ policy, gag orders for subpoenas may be renewed for up to a year at a time, sugg that prosecutors went to court several times to prevent Apple from notifying the McGahns
Apple told the McGahns that it received the subpoena on Feb. 23, 2018, according to a person briefed on the matter. The other person familiar with the matter said the subpoena had been issued by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Months after the Federal Election Commission notified several GOP state parties of major gaps in their 2020 fundraising and spending reports, the committees are correcting their numbers—but they still can’t explain why the discrepancies occurred.

thedailybeast.com/state-gops-can…
The issue raised new ? about possible abuse of a campaign finance loophole that allows wealthy megadonors to cut massive checks. Last year a number of GOP state parties failed to disclose transfers in the hundreds of thousand, sometimes millions of $ which violates reporting reqs
It appears systemic. The @FEC has so far sent notices to 10 of those 46 state parties that failed to report high-dollar same-day transfers from joint fundraising committees and to the RNC. So far, all but one have responded.

In PA the state senators quietly targeted at least 3 small counties, all of which Trump had won handily. Their proposal was to have a private co scrutinize the county’s ballots, for free a move outside the official processes used for election challenges
1/
 washingtonpost.com/politics/penns…
Only one county is known to have agreed to the senators’ request: rural Fulton County, on the Maryland border, where Trump performed better than anywhere else in the state, winning nearly 86 percent of the roughly 8,000 votes cast.
On Dec. 31, in the quiet of the winter holiday, county officials allowed a West Chester, Pa., company called #WakeTSI to spend an afternoon recounting about 1,000 mail-in ballots and taking data from county voting machines.

I guess this is legal in the UK?

Multiple reports suggest that Johnson's financial situation has led to him attempting, and in some cases succeeding, to use donations from the Conservparty and other donors to pay for:

businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-…
The refurbishment of his Downing Street residence
A Caribbean holiday with his fiancee Carrie Symonds
His child's nanny
His own personal trainer
£27,000 worth of takeaway meals

Some commentators close to Johnson have suggested that these alleged money problems are due to the
reduction in his income since entering Downing Street, combined with payments for his indeterminate number of children, and his divorce from his second wife Marina Wheeler.
