BREAKING: Wray and Rosen had elite special forces in the Capitol with shoot-to-kill authority on Jan. 6 tasked with continuity of government.

newsweek.com/exclusive-secr…
Their orders were authorized under standing presidential authority, but not sent through Trump at the time. They would have been tasked with protecting Pence and Pelosi, among others in line of succession.
The fact this specifically mentions "line of succession" is a big deal. It's possible that Jan6 failed because there were unexpected special forces in the Capitol under orders from the good guys.
For those with the propensity to be suspicious of Wray and Rosen ... their own force in the Capitol is some Scary Shit. I *think* this article is reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. @MuellerSheWrote
This story adds SPICE to two other events surrounding Jan6. Trump tried to force out Rosen - who ordered (and apparently commanded) the special forces - in the weeks leading up to the attack. reuters.com/world/us/trump…
And Clark, the Trump lackey who was in on trying to squeeze Rosen - has defied the J6C subpoena and been held in contempt. Rosen is cooperating. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Prior to this article, I was vaguely aware that the DOJ/FBI had special forces of a variety of kinds that could be deployed for NATSEC, but the fact that the AG (or Acting AG in this case) would have a separate force under largely independent command from the POTUS ....
The idea of a separate, largely independent force ... makes me think a lot about this: Bill Barr, with just days to go before the coup, sang Trump's praises and resigned. cnn.com/2020/12/14/pol…
Bottom Line: Rosen/Wray had hundreds of federal snipers and elite, deadly and unopposed forces in the Capitol. If the "line of succession" they chose to enforce was Trump's big lie, the coup would have been completed. Three cheers for Rosen/Wray.
On the flip side, any person that tried to use these forces to support the big lie clearly committed treason, and they should face the nation's harshest capitol punishment.
If you dig this kind of thing, I always appreciate a follow. I try to provide thoughtful context to news events without harnessing the demons of twitter rage-making.
This article provides some context to The Questions, but we are still in the dark on almost everything that matters.
It's worth looking at the comments on this tweet. I don't think that this changes the overarching theme very much.
I have asked several of the skeptics of this story whether they had reason to doubt that these forces were under independent control of the FBI/DOJ. I have not received an answer. I hope to.

Dear Dems. We can't wait to vote for you. Kamala is the bomb; Walz too. We know you'll do great on the economy and access to the ballot and funding infrastructure and schools, and we long for that and look forward to it.

BUT THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT NEED INVESTIGATED
Like, for example: 1) TFG's spawn appear to have been involved in killing Kashoggi; shaking down Qatar for a blockade; massive post-term bribe taking; profiteering on the pandemic; 2) TFG is inciting riots TODAY along with the zillion other things he did/has done, oh and the 10M
from Egypt; 3) Melon Husk is embedded in our National Security institutions and is engaged in anti-democratic, anti-american activities that align with Putin; 4) "General" Flynn is still getting my tax funded retirement and health care while running an open insurrection;

BREAKING: Everyone at SCOTUS knew in FEBRUARY that SCOTUS would grant Trump immunity. thedailybeast.com/john-roberts-s…
And all us powerless normies KNEW PERFECTLY WELL THAT EVERY DAY OF DELAY WAS HIT TO DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW
salon.com/2024/06/20/int…
The ruling was so thoroughly f'd up that the DOJ HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO A NEW GRAND JURY AND START OVER, ensuring that there could be no progress before the election. apnews.com/article/trump-…

Let me expand/extrapolate/speculate about this hugely important detail noted by Marcy @emptywheel. A thread.

And here's a gift link to the article. wapo.st/46Fok0Y
The critical details in the article are that: 1) The Trump campaign was hacked earlier in the summer, but did not report that to the FBI; 2) Microsoft announced that a US campaign was hacked, confirmed to be Trump; 3) hacker has Vance doc (done by Brand Woodward) and COURT DOCS
This brings us to Marcy's point: Brand Woodward represents Ralph Nauta, the Trump "valet" who was charged with moving the stolen national security documents for Trump to help evade the FBI. His attorney, Stan Woodward has clearance to see EVERYTHING.

The more I think about this, the more it seems like a key to whole evil puzzle. Just at face value, it's a big deal that crypto/gambling interests have an incentive to make the election INTO A HORSE RACE.

coindesk.com/business/2024/…
And we have all been asking, WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE THE MEDIA TREATS THESE EXISTENTIAL ISSUES LIKE A HORSE RACE? And we didn't have a ready answer, But here's a possible answer: crypto/gaming interests are buying political media figures.
Now the possibility that someone was paying journalists to undermine democracy had certainly occurred to me, but it was hard to believe that everyone could be taking Putin money. But they could be taking gambling/crypto money.

Dear US Press, I know you are busy normalizing the completely radical, dangerous people at the RNC convention, but We The People have some goddamn questions, and y'all should investigate: A thread:
First, instead of droning about the shooter's motive, ASK HOW WE CAME TO A PLACE WHERE A 20 YO CAN POSSESS AN AR-15?
Second, let's have a REAL TALK about the injury suffered by Trump. Were there any? Y'all have apparently asked every no name Dem on the planet about Biden. Where is the curiosity about Trump?

Since I am on the topic of the national security implications of the capture of Justice Thomas and the Crow family, I thought I would take a peek into that case and the Crow family.
So Harlan Crow is a kingmaker in Texas. Senators go to his house to get sworn in; he owns a SCOTUS justice; he has his fingers in TX politics. Presumably a lot of this is bribery. BUT HIS BROTHER HAS AN EPSTEIN STYLE KOMPROMAT OPERATION. Let's examine that. Image
First, we know about this kompromat operation because two brave women and their lawyers filed a RICO case against Trammell Crow, Jr. and others for running a sex trafficking ring. The case was filed in CA, but later transferred to TX, where it is now. Image
