NEW: The @HouseGOP has math and history on their side heading into the 2022 midterm elections, but @TheDemocrats think they have an ace in the hole in Donald Trump.

independent.co.uk/voices/midterm…
“As long as he is out there, he is doing the Democrats’ job for them in terms of keeping them engaged, keeping them…outraged and determined to defeat Trumpism,” @dccc adviser @KurtBardella said. independent.co.uk/voices/midterm…
Ex-@NRCC comms director @SteveSchmidtSES, who led the @HouseGOP messaging when they bucked history to pick up seats in 2002, said Democrats need to take a page from the post-9/11 GOP playbook to keep the majority. independent.co.uk/voices/midterm…
“What the race has to do is to turn in a way that makes it an outlier election, which typically means nationalizing the race around a threat, and of course, the threat is the extremist movement that Trump leads,” @SteveSchmidtSES said. independent.co.uk/voices/midterm…

NEW: As Donald Trump tries to shield his former aides from the insurrection probe, experts are warning that a timid response will allow the former president to do yet more damage to American democracy. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
According to ex-@HouseJudiciary impeachment counsel @NormEisen, court rulings on Trump's prior attempts to invoke executive privilege make it less likely that he'll be able to use similar claims to run out the clock on the @January6thCmte. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
“The underlying legal questions that we face – about testimony in the McGahn litigation and about documents in the Mazers litigation – have now been addressed at length...so the soil has been tilled, that allows things to move faster,” @NormEisen said.independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

At today's @SenateCommerce hearing with @FrancesHaugen, @MarshaBlackburn all but calls @Facebook officials liars: "Having seen the data that you've presented ... I feel pretty confident that it's Facebook, who has done the misrepresenting to this committee."
Whistleblower @FrancesHaugen: "I believe Facebook's products harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy."
.@FrancesHaugen: "Facebook consistently resolve these conflicts in favor of its own profits. The result has been more division, more harm, more lies more threats and more combat. In some cases, this does this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence".

NEW: Republicans wanted @SecBlinken’s appearances before the House and Senate foreign relations committees to be fodder for a Benghazi-like scandal. Instead, they ended up shouting about op-eds and asking nonsense questions about White House livestreams. independent.co.uk/voices/blinken…
.@SenateForeign Ranking Member @SenatorRisch used his time to ask Blinken who is responsible for ending broadcasts of @WhiteHouse events. White House spox @MGwin46 called it “cheapening [the] hearing by peddling baseless and bizarre conspiracy theories.” independent.co.uk/voices/blinken…
Former Deputy SecState for Legislative Affairs @JoelMartinRubin said the GOP’s performance shows how Republicans “have recycled talking-points that they tell each other and are caught in their own inner feedback loop on their own disinformation platforms.” independent.co.uk/voices/blinken…

This @perrybaconjr column on the sins of Politico is spot on at some points, but I would respectfully suggest that he has overlooked a significant problem that no one with any juice at any outlet seems to want to change. 1/

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Here’s the problem: Being right often gets you nowhere, being wrong gets you promoted.

As one of the reporters he writes about as having been “without such access” to lying Trump administration officials over the course of 2020, I would argue that the publications that… 2/
…ignored the signs that led to 1/6 haven’t made any effort to make any changes in how they hire and promote that take into account the extent to which most major publications failed to recognize the danger we were in.

All they’ve done is continue to enable the giant game… 3/

NEW: Current and former officials say attempts to warn the Biden Administration of the Afghan military's lack of capabilities were hampered by a National Security Council staff that is heavy on think-tankers and light on field experience. independent.co.uk/voices/biden-a…
“There were some reports that were just passed right over, and others that got a couple of glimpses of highlights, critical information and stuff like that [at top levels]. It just didn’t seem to hit them, said one military intelligence officer. independent.co.uk/voices/biden-a…
The officer, a veteran of multiple tours of duty in Afghanistan, said they felt reports that Afghan defense forces were not up to snuff would “get pushed off to the side” by senior NSC officials who did not want to “create a panic”. independent.co.uk/voices/biden-a…

NEW: @JoeBiden and Merrick Garland have tried to leave Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the election to the Congressional committees and @TheJusticeDept's internal watchdog. New evidence may make that impossible. independent.co.uk/voices/biden-m…
“He [@JoeBiden] would very much prefer not to be the first American president to see his predecessor in the dock, but there’s a growing realization that the more that becomes known, the more likely that possibility becomes," said one insider. independent.co.uk/voices/biden-m…
.@January6thCmte member @RepRaskin said evidence of Trump & former AAG Jeffrey Clark's push for the DOJ to question swing state results is “highly suggestive of criminal activity” and "indicative of a corrupt design to interfere with a federal election". independent.co.uk/voices/biden-m…
