Just reading the US Attorneys' letter request to keep Barrack in custody in EDNY. It's pretty nice. A THREAD.
Dear MAGA, the Barrack that got arrested today for being a foreign agent of a Muslim nation was Trump's dude Thomas Barrack. Not the other one. Sorry about that.
4 count indictment: unregistered foreign agent; conspiracy; obstruction of justice; and false statements to investigators. For those keeping score, twitter was enraged about not charging rich white dudes with obstruction of justice yesterday.
Speaking of rich white dudes: here is RWD as a flight risk because he has planes and contacts in foreign nations without extradition treaties.
If he wants to see the light of day again, he has to give up his passports and his planes; disclose all of his foreign assets (under penalty of perjury); pledge his assets and submit to monitoring. Sucks to suck corrupt trumper.
Dumbass apparently used one of those specially encrypted FBI phones to take orders from his foreign employers ... sucks to suck Trumper ...
HOLY SHITBALLS. Part of Barrack's job was to stop a Camp David meeting with Qatar (our ally) over the blockade. THE BLOCKADE WAS ORCHESTRATED BY KUSHNER.
Kushner orchestrated the blockade of Qatar, and then took a bribe to lift it. Barrack ran interference against Qatar in their efforts to lift the blockade. THE SHARKS ARE CIRCLING, JARED. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
The UAE blockades an ally - Qatar - where we have a major military base. Barrack serves as a secret agent for the UAE, and promises to serve the UAE against the US and its ally Qatar. Hmmm ... that kinda sounds like treason.
They interviewed him about it 2 years later, and he lied like the lying sack of shit he is. Sucks to suck, Trumper.
I have no quarrel with the people of Lebannon, but I have a problem with the fact that top Republican is actually a citizen of Lebannon.
The flight risk is not theoretical - one of Barrack's conspirators fled, leaving him holding the bag.
If you dig this kind of thing. Please follow. I try to go to original source documents and give a little truth.
Since the punditry has moved on to predicting how and whether the new administration will go about enacting it's policies and promises, I'm going to do the same. Thread below. In a word PROVOCATION.
He will want to identify and defeat any organized resistance by triggering "undesirables" so they can be jailed, deported or otherwise neutralized. His first acts will be designed to provoke protest, preferably unlawful protest (occupies, road blocks, etc.)
I would expect his first targets to be highly visible, unlawful and potentially violent acts against trans and pro palestine people. This, he hopes, will get libs into the streets where they can be targeted.
Dear Members of the US Armed Forces: If you do not want to be members of the New SS and used as storm troopers against US citizens, please read and share this thread. AND PLEASE VOTE. @USArmy @usairforce @USNavy @USMC @SpaceForceDoD
General John Kelly, US Marines, retired, was Trump's longest serving Chief of Staff. In that role he was the gatekeeper to the oval office, and present for many critical events. He said THIS WEEK that Trump is a fascist who admires Hitler.
Gen. Kelly flat out says that Trump will give unlawful military orders and will invoke the Insurrection Act. Trump confirms it.
DEAR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES. SCOTUS says you can all be fired tomorrow and no act of Congress can save you. Don't believe me? Think I'm stupid? READ THIS THREAD.
For about 150 years, Congress has protected executive branch employees from political pressures, by protecting them from firing, except for merit. protectdemocracy.org/work/the-civil…
This is a critical body of law which separates political appointees from career professionals. Those professionals hold massive expertise in critical sciences and the application of federal law. Their protection has been a constant for everyone living. mspb.gov/studies/studie…
In light of the new reporting that Tr u mp is a Hxtler supporter and outright fascist, I want to revisit Justice Roberts decision in Trump v. United States. A THREAD.
We all grew up in a country where it was flatly illegal for a POTUS to turn the military against the citizenry. There was never any question about that. It was a sure thing. That country is gone.
It has been repeatedly confirmed that Trump asked "his" generals to shoot protesters. And that they refused. THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. Trump wants generals that are loyal, and if we put him in power, that is what he (and we) will get.
I've been pretty skeptical about the DC case in light of Trump v. US, the immunity decision from SCOTUS, so this is our first chance to see what Jack Smith thinks. The first page hints at one line of attack - if Trump conspired with non-Presidents, is that immune?
JS lays out the plan: declare himself the winner after the day of votes are counted, but before the Biden heavy mail ins can be counted. In October 2020. Coincidentally, it is October now.
Dear Dems. We can't wait to vote for you. Kamala is the bomb; Walz too. We know you'll do great on the economy and access to the ballot and funding infrastructure and schools, and we long for that and look forward to it.
BUT THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT NEED INVESTIGATED
Like, for example: 1) TFG's spawn appear to have been involved in killing Kashoggi; shaking down Qatar for a blockade; massive post-term bribe taking; profiteering on the pandemic; 2) TFG is inciting riots TODAY along with the zillion other things he did/has done, oh and the 10M
from Egypt; 3) Melon Husk is embedded in our National Security institutions and is engaged in anti-democratic, anti-american activities that align with Putin; 4) "General" Flynn is still getting my tax funded retirement and health care while running an open insurrection;
