THREAD: How wrong is this article? Let me count the ways. 1/ rawstory.com/jan-6-insurrec…

Let’s start with the headline. “DoJ doesn’t seem willing to penalize Trump rioters with serious crimes.” First, at least 275 defendants have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding. Same sentence as seditious conspiracy : max 20 years. 2/

And at least 40 have been charged with conspiracy - either: (a) conspiracy to obstruct a congressional proceeding, (b) conspiracy to obstruct law enforcement during a civil disorder, (c) conspiracy to injure an officer, or (d) some combination of the three. 3/

And More than 225 defendants have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees, including over 75 individuals who have been charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer. 4/

Next let’s talk about this comparison. According to current US code, seditious conspiracy comes with a max 20 year sentence. Not decades. That’s the same as Obstructing an official proceeding. Sure, “seditious conspiracy” sounds cooler, but it’s harder to prove. 5/

Alright, now this BS right here. Sherwin wasn’t “drummed out of DoJ”. He RESIGNED and has now been replaced with Biden’s nominee. Besides, does the author even know who Mike Sherwin is or how he got the job? Let’s review…6/

Barr installed Sherwin in 2018 bypassing career prosecutors to intervene in cases to protect trump allies. He’s a Barr protégé. He resigned after being placed under investigation for violating DoJ policy for his public statements 7/ washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…

No one should hold Sherwin up as an example of what the DoJ should be doing. Sherwin also indicated trump was being investigated by DoJ, so why would anyone believe the seditious conspiracy thing but not the DoJ is investigating trump part? 8/ washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…

BREAKING: the judge in the Greenberg case has granted a request to DELAY (again) the sentencing of Joel Greenberg as he CONTINUES to cooperate. The judge said that he wants to sentence him in August latest. Another hint Gaetz isn’t out of the woods. clickorlando.com/news/local/202…

A status update is due July 13 and will likely be filed under seal just like this request for another continuance was. “Big Joe”ELLICOTT (DJ and Adderall dealer) is scheduled to be sentenced June 28th and has been cooperating in the sex trafficking case against Matt Gaetz.

If the DoJ doesn’t indict Gaetz before Greenberg’s sentencing, that could push any indictment out past the election given the 60-day “no indicting a candidate” policy.

CONTENT WARNING (sexual assault): ABORTION: When I was 21, I was drugged and raped violently in the military. When I tried to report it, I was told I’d be dishonorably discharged for filing a false report and court martialed for adultery because my rapist was married 1/

@PPFA

Despite trying to take multiple birth control pills as a makeshift Plan B (which wasn’t available then), I found out I was pregnant. I was able to get access to abortion care at @PPFA along with a counseling referral since I couldn’t talk to anyone in the military 2/

Access to that care saved my life. Rape in the military is prevalent and TO THIS DAY they still haven’t taken the decision to prosecute assault out of the chain of command, leading to situations like mine where it’s unsafe to report the rape. 3/

Here’s my guess on the followers phenomenon. You know how republicans buy copies of their own books to boost their ranks on the best seller lists? I assume they do the same with fake followers on Twitter. 1/

When all the fascists left after donald got booted, those fake followers got redistributed. Now that the right wingers are coming back, I bet those fake followers are being redirected back to their accounts and away from ours. 2/

I’d bet money conservatives get fake likes and fake downloads on their podcasts and have fake followers. They lie about crowd size. They have to keep up the facade that they’re popular. But when the rubber meets the road, they can’t draw 2000 people to a rally 3/

THREAD: JUSTICE: Meet Thomas Windom. He was brought in SEVERAL MONTHS AGO to investigate the top of the coup at the DoJ. Did you hear about it before today? Nope. #justice #January6th 1/

Why are we only hearing about it now? Because squeaky targets like Alex Jones and Ali Alexander are leaking. The DoJ has been doing this for months without any of us knowing. As it should be. 2/

@USAO_DC

Thomas Windom comes to the @USAO_DC from Maryland and has been working with the NATIONAL SECURITY and CRIMINAL DIVISIONS at Main Justice to investigate criminal activity OTHER THAN what took place at the Capitol January 6th, such as the more complicated conspiracy cases. 3/

NEW: THREAD: Everyone is talking about the exhibits (the ones containing all the text messages including one about Ronny Jackson) filed in Oath Keeper Ed Vallejo’s motion to get out of pre-trial detention, but no one is talking about the actual motion. So allow me. 1/

In addition to the 300+ pages of texts, there’s a separate 33-page motion for release, and I wanted to read THAT because it didn’t stand to reason that Vallejo would post all of these text messages and podcast transcripts as a reason to let him out of jail pending trial. 2/

He even included the DoJ’s motion to KEEP him in jail as part of the exhibits. How does that help his case? So I wanted to read the motion explaining WHY he did that. Turns out, there’s no good reason and his lawyer is irretrievably stupid. 3/

NEW INDICTMENTS: Today, the SDNY has unsealed an indictment against three Russians with ties to Putin. It appears these three sanctioned guys had a US citizen friend with ties to pro-Russian US congresspeople and used that person to try to set up meetings with them. 1/

The defendants have apparently been in contact with this US citizen since 2011, and used that person to try to get pro-Russian sympathy in the US after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. The Russians were sanctioned after that and were denied visas to travel here. 2/

In 2017, one of the defendants drafted a plan outlining how to "recruit well-known persons to launch propaganda campaigns in favor of Russia" using their longtime US Citizen friend. When they applied for visas, they listed the US citizen as a reference. 3/
