BREAKING : THREAD: from @murraywaas: a federal grand jury investigating trump’s former attorney Sidney Powell has uncovered evidence that Powell filed false incorporation documents with the state of Texas. 1/
She listed two men as members of the board who were never given permission: Lin Wood and Brannon Castleberry. She’s also been known to list attorneys on Kraken lawsuits without notifying them. The grand jury is investigating whether she did this to attract donors 2/
As an aside from me personally, that feels like the old “wire fraud, computer fraud, conspiracy to defraud the US” chunk of charges Manafort faced. According to The Guardian, the federal grand jury has reviewed extensive documentation in this case. 3/
The grand jury is also trying to determine if she spent funds raised by the non-profit on personal stuff - a running theme for trump allies. They are ALSO investigating whether she defrauded donors by claiming their money was spent on Kraken lawsuits. 4/
Apparently, investigators only found ONE INSTANCE where she spent their money on the batshit crazy lawsuits. Investigators are also looking into whether she spent the money to defend herself in lawsuits like the one filed by Dominion voting machines. 5/ theguardian.com/us-news/2021/d…
So, #MerrickGarland Garland impaneled a grand jury months ago that’s investigating Powell for filing false business documents, defrauding donors, potential conspiracy to defraud the US, federal tax crimes, and misappropriation of funds, and you had no idea. For months. END

RE: “We don’t have that kind of time” in reference to how long DoJ takes to successfully prosecute crimes:

Yes we do. We always have time for the rule of law, due process, and defendants’ rights. Can someone explain to me why we “don’t have time” to wait for the rule of law? 1/
The midterms don’t have anything to do with DoJ except they don’t indict political stuff within 60 days of an election. The 1/6 committee, on the other hand, could be in jeopardy. But if (god forbid) Dems lose the house, they will make criminal referrals to DoJ before 2022. 2/
DoJ is in place until at least January 2025. And if by “you don’t have enough time because of 2024” you are saying DoJ would stop investigating, that’s irrelevant because if a republican wins, they will simply pardon any charges anyhow and democracy will be in peril regardless 3/

ANATOMY OF A DISINFO OP:

Step 1: give everyone unrealistic expectations: like calling for treason charges TOMORROW. Exploit the fact that justice is slow and DoJ can’t talk about investigations to sow displeasure with how long things take and why we haven’t heard anything.
Step 2: start bashing the DoJ with common, repeated phrases: Justice delayed is justice denied, where is Garland, Garland isn’t the right man for the moment, replace him with Sally Yates. I’m sure you’ve seen all those repeated over and over. Introduce a 3rd party candidate.
Step 3: when justice does eventually happen, it probably won’t be the big treason charge we wanted, so the trolls put out tweets that we should be ANGRY with the outcome and how LONG it took and how it wasn’t enough. It’s NEVER enough

THREAD: this is a great question. Let me answer based on what I know from years studying the complex investigations, and what I’ve learned talking to former federal prosecutors, US Attorneys, District Attorneys, public defenders, FBI directors, and DoJ folks 1/
In the Fulton County GA case, it does not bother me that trump or his kids haven’t been questioned because of the nature of complex investigations which start with the small players and move up the ladder to the leaders. 2/
Per public reporting on the DA case in GA, I believe they’re looking at state RICO charges, which take a long time (Willis’s last one took over 2 years), and she 1) is underfunded 2) has a backlog, and 3) is in the early stages having not yet even interviewed Raffensberger 3/

BREAKING: THREAD: to those who keep pushing for public testimony for the 1/6 committee & public release of documents and information pertaining to ongoing investigations: tonight’s filing by the new DC US Attorney Matthew Graves in the Bannon case explains the perils of that. 1/
As I have said multiple times: public testimony and public release of documents can jeopardize criminal investigations. In the Bannon case, the human cold sore has called for the documents in his case to be released to the public by opposing a protective order for discovery 2/
And DC US Attorney Matthew Graves agrees. “Specific harms will result if circulation of these materials is not limited to the individuals identified in the proposed protective order.” 3/

BREAKING: THREAD: The new US Attorney for the SDNY has indicted two Iranian hackers pretending to be Proud Boys to interfere in the 2020 election on behalf of trump. This has potential implications for a lot of what we've been waiting for. 1/ justice.gov/usao-sdny/pres…
This indictment is signed by Damian Williams, the new US Attorney who took over at SDNY October 10th. The indictment was filed October 20th, and unsealed today by the DoJ. Why are those dates important? 2/
We've been waiting to see if the DoJ is going to indict donald in the Stormy Daniels hush money scheme in the SDNY, or if they would indict donald for the Mueller Obstruction charges in the DC USAO since Garland took over in March of this year 3/

THREAD: I am convinced there's an op against our justice department designed to divide us and exhaust voters in the interest of advancing authoritarianism. Sit back, pour a glass of wine, and allow me to explain. As always, I have receipts. 1/
There are strong forces at work, and millions in dark money being spent to steal your vote. The GOP and foreign bad actors do this in two ways: the first is by physically blocking or intimidating voters. There was a LOT of this in 2020. 2/ nytimes.com/2020/09/19/us/…
The second and more sinister way is to convince you to throw your vote away. They accomplish this in multiple ways. 1. Telling you that both major party candidates are equally bad. Here's an example from Russian State Media: 3/
