Who is Boris Epshteyn?

@washingtonpost quotes his asinine legal opinion about Pence having “constitutional power” to refuse to certify the election. They provided minimal bona fides for the Russian-born ultra-conservative with financial ties to Russia. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Epshteyn was managing director of *business & legal* affairs at West America Securities Corp until the firm was expelled from the Financial Industry Regulatory Agency in 2013 for holding $24B in unverified Brazilian & Japanese bonds implicated in *fraud*.
Here’s @mmfa on Boris Epshteyn in 2016
mediamatters.org/boris-epshteyn…
For three months, Boris Epshteyn was White House Assistant Director of Communications for Surrogate Operations (only person to have this title). He wrote Trump’s controversial Holocaust memorial statement in Jan 2017.
He then went to work as a political news commentator for conservative media company Sinclair Broadcasting (then 173 TV stations).

Because the NW probably isn't as familiar to most folks as the Gulf coast, I've annotated this satellite image. That dot in the pink county is approximately where we live (Snohomish County, Lynnwood WA). Seattle is south of us in King County.
This is the strongest storm system to ever hit the Pacific NW (942.5 MB). The third most powerful was Thursday. We have rain and wind gusts; the coast has lots more of both; mountains will be getting snow. Heaviest rain/snow in CA.
NWS on probability. And we've had two of these inside 72 hours. Just saying.

Reported wife of Robert Westbury (MN), who is charged with storming the Capitol, falsely claims: “A million people attended January 6th for one purpose…to pray.”

Republican state senator Mark Koran has encouraged $ donations for legal fees.

theguardian.com/us-news/2021/o…
Only eight Minnesotans have been charged for alleged involvement in the insurrection, including Robert Westbury, 62, and his sons Jonah, 26, and Isaac, 19. Aaron James is part of Rosemary Westbury’s fundraiser.

After media attention, Koran either removed his Facebook support of the family or changed the post privacy settings. We have pull quotes, however.

If MN has an open records act, such a change in FB status by a politician should be prohibited by law.

In today’s issue of #whoOwnsWhat … the role of @ATT and its TV services (DirecTV) in formation and financing of One America Network @OANN

Special @Reuters report

reuters.com/investigates/s…
“They told us they wanted a conservative network,” @OANN founder and chief executive Robert Herring Sr said during a 2019 deposition seen by Reuters.

OAN revenue: 90% is from AT&T TV platforms like @DIRECTV
Business writers!
Stop spewing 💩 like this:
@ATT “spun off [@DIRECTV], retaining a 70% share in the new, independently managed company.”

When you control 70%, any “spin off” is NOT Independent.

Powerful history. Should be required viewing for all of us, not just voters in #NC09.

NC state legislator @CharlesGrahamNC is running to be the first American Indian serving as a NC US Representative.

District #NC09 is 7.7% Native American. Nationally, 2.9% of us are Native American or Alaska Native (alone or combo with another ethnicity). The district was redrawn because of GOP gerrymandering. The GOP has held the district for almost 60 years.

The first #jan6th insurrectionists “to break through the police line” passed up **15 reinforced** windows. Video shows they went straight to a “recessed area on the Senate side of the building [with] two unreinforced windows and two doors with unreinforced glass.”
“They were not the first windows, nor the easiest to reach for [#Jan6th insurrectionists] ... Attackers ran more than 100 feet across a courtyard to reach the covered outdoor entryway” #insidejob
Who knew which windows were reinforced? The three-member Capitol Police Board: the architect of the Capitol, the House sergeant at arms, and the Senate sergeant at arms. @latimes
