The guy who spews Russian propaganda on his TV show bashes the NSA, thus invoking the traitor who crippled our intelligence capabilities & then defected to Russia, and we wake to the latter's name trending because bots working on Moscow Standard Time have tweeted it all morning.
Sheremetyevo Airport has been fully owned by Semion Mogilevich, godfather of godfathers of the Russian mob, for decades. Blowden couldn't wipe his ass at that airport without SM knowing, much less spend FORTY FCKING DAYS there.
I don't recall a single member of the IC, or anyone on the Intelligence Committees, pushing back on the government's position. Schiff & Nunes AGREED. So did Obama. This is simple. It isn't a Deep State conspiracy. THE GUY IS A TRAITOR.
The NSA only monitors Americans when they are communicating with foreign nationals—usually, agents of foreign intelligence services. So Pucker is either 1) full of shit, or 2) regularly communicating with our enemies. Both are equally plausible.
To wit:

1/ In his voting rights address on Friday, Merrick Garland noted: “Between 1890 and 1908, every southern state enacted a new constitution or amended its constitution to exclude Black voters or significantly impede their participation. The courts did not stand in the way."
2/ This is borne out in the precipitous drop-off of Black registered voters in the South from 1890-1910.

For example, here are the number of registered Black voters in Louisiana, by year:

•1890: 130,334
•1900: 5,320
•1910: 730
3/ As you can see, the numbers are eye-popping. The goal was to prevent African-Americans from voting. By and large, that goal was achieved.

What was significant about Sean Spicer’s first day as White House Press Secretary was that Trump was NEVER going to tell the truth—even about trivial things we knew, from our own two eyes, were bullshit.

[THREAD]
1/ Over Trump’s four years in office, the lies became more consequential, the gaslighting more refined. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was better at it than Spicer, and Kayleigh McEnany turned it into an art form.
2/ The disinformation continued, bolstered by Fox News and Newsmax, OANN and Alex Jones, Facebook and Twitter, and Trump’s Republican enablers.

And the lies never stopped. Trump never came clean.

Now that we know for certain that Paul Manafort, the chair of Trump's campaign, gave polling data to his buddy, Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence officer, who in turn passed it to the Kremlin...let's review statements made at the time by some seditious liars.

[THREAD]
1/ Throughout the campaign, during the transition period, and after inauguration, Donald Trump and his surrogates vehemently denied meeting with Russians of any stripe, for any purpose.
2/ Every time they were asked about a connection between the campaign and the Kremlin, they shot it down. And they were INDIGNANT about it. The response was always something along the lines of, “Russia? Us? How dare you accuse us of such a thing!”

Here are some examples:

"'This is what collusion looks like!' That should have been the headline in every newspaper across the country. Of course it was not, because, I charge, reading a Moby-Dick-sized document is too much work for our indolent Beltway press."

The only good thing about various Beltway journos making mountains of the molehill of Biden's lack of press conference availability is that it makes it really easy to spot the bad actors. Like, for example, this guy:
1/ Does anyone outside of the incestuous WH press corps feel a lack of communication from the Biden Administration? Jen Psaki is like a real-life CJ Cregg. We're in good hands.
2/ And it's not like said WH press corps exactly distinguished itself these last four years. Why would Biden want to waste his time answering what will largely be stupid questions?

Just watched House Managers presser:

>>Raskin says they only needed Beutler's statement about the McCarthy/Trump call, as that was new. They got it into the record. They got what they wanted.
>> Raskin says if there were witnesses, Trump's lawyers would have called hundreds, turning it into a circus. He says they didn't want that.

"This was my call," he says, of the no witnesses. "If you don't like it, blame me."
>> Cicilline points out that the presentation included witness testimony, via video and statements. It's not like there were NO witnesses. All they needed was Beutler call because it was new.
