THREAD: @nytimes broke news this morning re notes of post-election meeting between Trump & top DOJ officials. nytimes.com/2021/07/30/us/… 1/
2/ This section here is absolutely damning:
3/ It reads as if the President told his DOJ to tell American public the election was corrupt even after the DOJ told him there was no evidence to back it up.
4/ But then I remember this is @nytimes. And read on....
5/ This section comes later in the article:
6/ That quote seems very close to the earlier paraphrase, leading me to wonder, did the notes really said in this order:
7/ Such notes have an entirely different meaning than both the intro
8/ And the original presentation:
9/ So which was it @nytimes: Did Trump tell DOJ to say election was corrupt in relation to no evidence off fraud or in response to DOJ saying they could discover quickly if PA had more votes than voters but that they couldn't reverse the election?
10/10 Those are 2 VERY different things. And sadly I don't trust you to report the truth, so how about posting the notes for America to judge?
Notes posted (if accurate) expose @nytimes as fake news again:
By not commuting all of those sentenced to death, Biden is saying two things: a) death penalty is not intrinsically evil; b) the distinctions between facts of those commuted & 3 that were not mattered. So what are those distinctions? 1/
2/ Were the 3 whose sentences were not commuted convicted of murdering someone while in prison? Were they convicted of killing a cop? Those two factors could reasonably cause someone to treat the death sentence differently based on premise that you only institute death penalty
3/ if you cannot keep society safe by locking person up for rest of life. But we know Biden a) didn't make decision; b) if he did/whoever did didn't care about prudential judgment but cared only about politics.
THREAD: This headline & lede is fascinating to me because it is both spot on and 100% wrong. I agree @SpeakerJohnson has a "taste of the hell that awaits him," but The Sun is completely wrong on the why, as are Dems & rest of media. 1/
2/ It isn't Musk & his posts or the slim majority: It is that "X is the media" now & the old way of Washington doing business are over. Again, the proof of this is in the killing in February of immigration bill on @LeaderMcConnell's watch.
@LeaderMcConnell 3/ It wasn't that Musk tweeted about it but that Musk's purchase of X allowed for ordinary Americans to saturate the country with details of what that legislation would do and would not do & Americans wanted it killed because it was horrid.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING-ish on whistleblower @EithanHaim who outed child mutilation at Texas hospital whistle. Federal judge basically says "that's a nice First Amendment right to free speech you've got there, be a pity if anything happened to it." 1/
2/ Here's the background on the hearing from earlier this week on the Biden Administration's effort to gag @EithanHaim. @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2024/11/27/bid…
@EithanHaim @FDRLST 3/ So was buried in dep prep and day-long dep assist. yesterday so didn't have time to dig into it but hearing held on Tuesday on government's motion to gag.
BREAKING: Holy crap, lots of breaking news in @EithanHaim case, with court unsealing documents. Buckle in...I'm buying and having loaded to courtlistener for the X is the media folks. 1/
2/ So WTH was government filing this underseal for? Because they look like a bunch of incompetent boobs who made up statutory language in an indictment?storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ And this? This was filed "unseal?" Now maybe if the government explained why Tina the attorney was being taken of the case, I could see them frivolously filing this underseal to avoid embarassment... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
BREAKING: X files response in @EithanHaim criminal case after outrageous government DOJ lawyers attempt to seal relevant information. 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
2/ @EithanHaim is whistleblower re transgender mutilation underway and DOJ went after him criminally. As X notes in its motion to intervene and oppose motion to seal, gov't wants to halt public criticism.
@EithanHaim 3/ As @elonmusk legal team for X highlights, X is providing the public power to comment and in fact make news. Something key in Haim's case as legacy media is silent over outrageous attempt to prosecute Haim.
