1. Governor of West Virginia @JimJusticeWV when not advocating the destruction of the planet with coal poison, advocates overthrow of a state government. IMO that's arguably a violation of 18 USC § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government. @FBIWFO
2. "Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government

Should at least be enough to get a wire and look at all his emails and phone records. @DOJCrimDiv
1. Watching the attack unfold on Jan 6, my first thought was that every foreign intelligence officer in one of the most surveilled cities on earth would be going out of their minds scooping up comms of members of Congress and the Executive branch who had joined the conspiracy.
2. Though unwarranted intercepts are illegal and can't be used in court when first obtained illegally by government actors, I know of few ways for keeping them out when we grab them from our adversaries who scooped them up in the first instance.
3. Knowing who our adversaries can blackmail was an urgent matter that had to be completed prior to directing law enforcement at the bad actors. My belief at the time why TFG tried to position one of his conspirators as NSA General Counsel was because that position is the
1. My research concludes Bush41 was 1st class of @CIA agents in 1948-9. DDO Plans or Operations. He was the George Bush Warren Commission referenced as a CIA employee interviewed after the shooting. He ran Zapata. Not just Zapata Offshore Oil but Operation Zapata aka Bay of Pigs.
2. The operation had two decommissioned Naval vessels sitting offshore that JFK did not allow to be used. Their code names were Barbara and Houston. His old friend from
3. from naval intelligence boot camp at Chapel Hill, Gerald Ford, got him to pull out of the guilty depression he was in after his team shot JFK and got him to run for Senate. Bush lost, but then ran again for the House and won. When the Watergate was broken into by a
1. I saw a report by the @TheHill that tries to portray @JoeBiden's remarks about defending #Taiwan as a misstatement. When asked if it was a policy shift, @PressSec pointed to the Taiwan Relations Act. From its reaction, it's apparent staff at The Hill haven't read it.
2. The Act provides our relationship with #PRC is based on its commitment to address Taiwan peacefully. Moreover, the principal finding of policy is to maintain peace in the Western Pacific. We are close to war with China over its South Sea aggression. It's not just Taiwan.
3. And the Act states the policy was,
"to make clear that the United States decision to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means;
1. Why can we see the Turkish Drones over Idlib and not over Kobane on @flightradar24? He's why I think that is and why the civilians in #AANES may want to check this out. When a drone or any other aircraft flies, it can transmit a radio signal via ADS-B receivers can pick up.
2. Typically, military aircraft don't all this to give away their position. But some still leak enough radio data to be seen. I live near a big US Air Force base and I can say from experience our folks know how to deal with this. If they want to not be seen, they won't be.
3. For whatever reason, the Turk drones over Idlib remain visible. I surmise it is because the anti Assad
1. I think @JoeBiden's #NordStream2 waiver decision was ill-advised. Putin has not moderated and is acting more aggressively. The additional pipeline will allow an economy smaller than California to make the EU a Russian client state. That's not in the US strategic interest.
2. Russia has plied the EU elite with Russian corruption, making them happy to look the other way when the project violates their own laws and regulations. There is no present need for Nordstream2. And I believe the 2022NDAA prevents the
3. Biden administration from granting Putin another national sanctions waiver. As always, my analysis is from a domestic political perspective. If Biden is tarred with what coming from NordStream2, it can cost him the midterms, regardless of how he does on the domestic economy.
2. In a quick survey, I find nothing in major US print press on Biden's comment on defending Taiwan. CCP English propaganda pit-bull Global Times reports about an imaginary strong domestic US opposition to the policy of standing up to Communist aggression, but takes a very soft
3. approach now that the Central Military Commission's aggressive, arguably Imperialist policies have brought China to the brink of US sanctions and possible major naval war on its coast. Claiming that the US would never dare to face the 1.4 billion Chinese, the CCP ruling
