THREAD: I think it's time to talk about how PISSED I am that @TheJusticeDept hasn't moved on the ELOQUENT and FANTABULOUS obstruction of justice charges outlined so succinctly in Volume 2 of the Mueller Report. 1/
We sacrificed a LOT to set up those obstruction of justice charges unfettered by future tainted juries and constitutional challenges. Mueller DIDN'T say donald obstructed justice b/c that could run afoul of the constitution. 2/
The constitution says a defendant has the right to face his accuser. Mueller knew that he couldn't indict donald because of the OLC memo, and since he couldn't indict him, he couldn't accuse him without risking an easy appeal. 3/
It would have been unconstitutional of Mueller to accuse donald of some shit he couldn't defend himself against in court because sitting presidents can't be indicted because of a stupid OLC memo that Mueller followed because he's Mueller. 4/
So NOT saying trump obstructed justice was a HUGE sacrifice because it allowed Barr to come in and park a truck of bullshit between us and the truth. Another huge sacrifice was everything Mueller didn't chase out of fear of being fired. 5/
Mueller didn't follow a lot of the money. We don't know where the counterintelligence investigation went. He didn't subpoena trump. He didn't even ask follow up written questions after donald lied to him in the first batch. 6/
All of that sacrificed to prevent himself from getting fired, which allowed him to COMPLETE the obstruction of justice investigation and present the BEAUTIFUL obstruction of justice charges. SO much was sacrificed to preserve them. 7/
ALL of that to wrap the obstruction charges up with a perfect bow, and they're just fucking sitting there. And Mueller is conservative af. Garland is a rogue anarchist compared to Bob Mueller. So I'm pissed. WHERE ARE THE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE CHARGES? END

THREAD: There were major clues that dropped this weekend indicating DoJ is prepping to pursue a Bannon indictment for criminal contempt of congress that the MSM isn't talking about. 1/
Let's start back on 10/23 when multiple sources were reporting that DoJ might be hesitant to indict Bannon until a legislative purpose could be established for seeking Bannon's testimony in the first place. 2/
You'll recall that one of the main reasons trump listed for blocking the release of National Archives documents is that the January 6th committee doesn't have a legislative purpose. Now, WE know they do, but a court hasn't determined that yet 3/

THREAD: a few people have expressed trepidation about my calls to appoint a special counsel to investigate trump’s plot to overthrow the government because “nothing happened” with Mueller’s probe. I’d like to point a few things out, if I may. 1/
First, Mueller didn’t do “nothing”. He had over 300 criminal charges against over 30 criminals with 9 convictions. Trump pardoned the big dogs. Biden will not. The reason you feel like Mueller did nothing is because Barr wanted you to think Mueller did nothing. 2/
As judge Walton concluded, Barr inappropriately redacted volume 1 to downplay the MASSIVE scope of Russian assistance to the trump campaign. Because of Barr’s “lack of candor”, most of those redactions have been removed, but MSM didn’t report it so you probably didn’t know 3/

BREAKING: Cy Vance has opened an investigation into Leon Black: the guy who gave $50M to Epstein for “investments”. He owns Apollo Mgmt which lent Kushner $184M. He also went to Russia with Donald and CALAMARI. I think Calamari is cooperating.

THREAD: why a special counsel to investigate the leaders of the coup is a good idea.

First, POWER: a special counsel has prosecutorial powers and can grant all their team members the full powers of a US Attorney. They can indict and their subpoenas are toothy. 1/
Second, SPEED: I know you feel like Mueller and Durham took forever, but it took only five months before Mueller started making it rain indictments on the likes of Manafort and Gates. It would be their ONLY focus, unlike the DoJ or FBI. 2/
Third, TRANSPARENCY: unlike the DoJ or congress, a special counsel is REQUIRED to disclose who & why they did or didn’t prosecute, & if the AG narrows the scope or blocks an indictment, they MUST tell congress they did so. DoJ doesn’t have to tell us shit. 3/

THREAD: I've now heard from multiple sources that the DoJ might be considering delaying a Bannon indictment for criminal contempt in order to secure a ruling from the courts affirming that Bannon's testimony has a legislative purpose. Now, let me be clear about a few things... 1/
First, there is nothing confirming that this is what will happen. I would strongly disagree with a months-long delay to secure a ruling on what we already know to be true: that the committee has a legislative purpose. BUT... 2/
It is a not totally stupid defense that the Bannon team would use: "If the congress does not have prosecutorial power, what possible legislative purpose exists to justify the compelled testimony of Steve Bannon?" 3/

THREAD: Reminds me of when @LeoDiCaprio had to forfeit a Picasso given to him by Jho Low who laundered money from 1MDB. Tom Barrack owned a hotel purchased by laundered 1MDB funds. Barrack was indicted in July & could be cooperating. I think this raid and Barrack are related. 1/
