🚨Trump’s Acting AG Jeffrey Rosen told DOJ & Senate Judiciary that Jeffrey Clark—acting DOJ civil division head—tried to help Trump throw the 2020 election by pushing DOJ to falsely claim that “election fraud” cast doubt on the Electoral College results.
nytimes.com/2021/08/07/us/…
Clark had unauthorized conversations w/Trump about ways DOJ could cast doubt on Biden’s victory. Clark drafted a letter & asked Rosen to send it to Georgia legislators, wrongly claiming they should void Biden’s victory because the DOJ was investigating “voter fraud” in the state.
‼️@SenBlumenthal said Rosen discussed his interactions with Clark with the Senate Judiciary Committee. He called Rosen’s account “dramatic evidence of how intent Trump was in overthrowing the election.”
🚨🚨Blumenthal said he "was struck by how close the country came to total catastrophe" after listening to Rosen’s closed-door testimony.

Now add in the attack of Capitol by Trump’s supporters….🤬

Trump lawyer Douglas Collins said Trump wouldn’t bar former DOJ officials from speaking w/investigators but might take legal action if Congress sought “privileged information.”

Rosen quickly scheduled interviews to get his story on the record before anyone could block him.😎

‼️#Seditionist Fi Duong allegedly showed 2 @FBI agents a former prison in Lorton #VA, where he said he was planning to test a batch of Molotov cocktails.

“Technically, you’re engaging in war or conflict. But again, what is the price we ultimately pay for peace?”

NOT tourists.🤬
At Duong’s home, an undercover agent saw multiple firearms & ammunition. Militiamen discussed weapons & training in physical fitness, hand-to-hand combat & driving. They planned to obtain a private internet server so members could “subvert potential law enforcement surveillance.”
Duong told the undercover agent on an encrypted messaging app about his own surveillance of the Capitol, mentioning that one of his “guys” was putting together a report on the size, activity, location, uniforms, time and equipment of law-enforcement personnel.

NOT tourists.🤬

‼️Erik Prince recruited a former British spy to train conservatives in espionage who were sent to gather dirt & sabotage the reputations of people/organizations considered threats to Trump’s far-right agenda.

Bankrolled by @GORETEXna heiress Susan Gore.🤬

The shady operatives concocted fake cover stories and made large campaign donations to gain entrée to Democratic events, such as the Las Vegas presidential debate and a DC fund-raiser attended by Democratic lawmakers.

I’ve been in politics a long time—this is over the top stuff.
One operative got a job working for a consortium of wealthy liberal donors in the Wyoming Investor Network (WIN) that had decided to back some moderate @GOP, giving her access to inside info.

“It’s the entire strategy. Where the money is going. What we’re doing long term.”🤬

‼️As the Federal Reserve Chair & Steven Mnuchin scrambled to bail out markets at the start of the pandemic, top Trump officials were in near-constant contact with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink—the world’s largest asset manager whose firm stood to benefit.🤬

nytimes.com/2021/06/24/bus…
In the weekend before Fed unveiled their bailout package on March 23—including its 1st-ever program to buy corporate bonds—Mnuchin spoke to Fink 5 times *more than anyone other than the Fed chair, whom he spoke with 9 times.

TOTAL #corruption.🤬
Fink joined Mnuchin, Powell and WH Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow for a brief call at 7:25pm the evening before the Fed’s big announcement, based on Mnuchin’s calendars.

How many billions did Fink make from insider information?🤬

Sicknick’s partner: “To know that some members of Congress—along w/Trump who Brian & I once supported but who can only now be viewed as the mastermind of that horrible attack—are not acknowledging Brian's heroism that day is unforgivable & un-American.”
cnn.com/2021/06/23/opi…
“Only a handful of @SenateGOP showed that they possessed the moral compass to do the right thing by voting yes (on the #January6thCommission), putting America first, and showing warmth and compassion for the officers (as well as their families) who protect them daily.”
“By denying or downplaying the viciousness and trauma that occurred on January 6, (@GOP) members of Congress & the people who continue echoing their false narrative are engaging in a specific kind of psychological harm…known as ‘secondary wounding.’"

‼️William Braddock—a @GOP candidate running the seat being vacated by Rep. @CharlieCrist’s—was secretly recorded **threatening to send “a #Russian and Ukrainian hit squad”** to his Republican primary opponent, Anna Paulina Luna, to make her “disappear.”

politico.com/news/2021/06/1…
Braddock: “I really don't want to have to end anybody's life for the good of the people of the USA…But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a f---ing speed bump in the road. She's a dead squirrel you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood.”😳
Braddock: “I have access to a hit squad, too, Ukrainians and Russians…don't get caught out in public supporting Luna…Luna’s gonna go down and I hope it's by herself.”

He also made claims about getting $$ from fellow Freemasons or by importing millions from Malta & Gibraltar.🧐
