1. I don't think similar tone and tenor of Merrick Garland and @JoeBiden's speeches were a coincidence. The counter-intelligence investigation nobody saw but that was easy to predict has likely concluded. People swept up by it may have been caught by an initial FISA order
2. directed at Rudy Giuliani that would authorize electronic and other intercepts related to anyone he had contact with and, were they were shown to be working as an agent of a foreign power, like Giuliani, other orders could issue and expand the circle to encompass many of TFG's
3. seditionist army. I would expect that the grand jury can now hear the evidence from these intercepts, that would be admissible in court, of TFG's co-conspirators incriminating themselves. The one thing that the obsession with Carter Page and his FISA did is break the
4. seal on the workings of the FISC and how a foreign agent like Page becomes a target of the massive surveillance infrastructure generally reserved for protecting us from our foreign enemies. But as I surmised that part of the investigation is over. And two of the people who
5. likely know what the FISC has on these conspirators are no longer compelled to remain silent.

1. Thus far, I've seen no proof that the Russian forces reportedly being sent to Kazakhstan have arrived in Almaty that is the scene of violent clashes. Here is an example of the Russian air traffic that is reporting on the Radar sites. They planes don't appear to be going
2. very far into Kazakhstan and are focused on this NW region of the border near Russia. At first I thought it was a staging operation but I think it is also possible that they are being sent there to guard something that was likely left over from the Soviet Union's collapse:
3. All of Russia's SS-18 Satan ICBMs in area where the post-Soviet Russian border seems to have taken a bite out of Kazakhstan. About 40% of Russian ballistic missile nuclear warheads. And I think this is could be the real reason why Russia's Def. Min. Shoygu called the @SecDef.

1. Call me jaded but I won't be surprised if something happens to that juror.

ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court is in receipt of the parties' letters. Dkt. Nos. 568, 569, 570. The Court hereby sets the following briefing schedule for the Defense to move for
2. a new trial in light of the issues raised in the parties' letters: Defense motion: January 19, 2022; Government response: February 2, 2022; Defense reply: February 9, 2022. The parties' briefing should address whether an inquiry of some kind is permitted and/or required, and
3. if so, the nature of such an inquiry. Although the Court reserves decision on whether an inquiry of any kind is warranted, the Court grants the Government's request, Dkt. No. 568, to offer court-appointed counsel to the juror in issue. Subject to the juror's right to decline

1. If my analysis is correct he may make a vague reference to investigative techniques. I would run a full counterintelligence investigation of TFG administration before turning to

US Attorney General to Speak About Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Investigations  voanews.com/a/us-attorney-…
2. criminal cases. I guessed it would likely have started by February and the third reauthorization would have ended around November. Matt Olsen may want a fourth and final FISA order and if so we have about another month to complete the maximum of four 90 day orders.
3. These techniques are not your typical Omnibus Crime Bill Title III wire taps. They also are not for the principal purpose of investigating crimes committed by US persons. The standard is probable cause that the target is an agent of a foreign power engaged in certain conduct.

1. I predicted airline staffing crisis when Omicron's transmissibility was reported because the crews are in the same air as infected people it's difficult to protect them. But I would have thought hospitals would be more better protected. It appears that is not so and staffing
2. shortages in hospitals are starting to reach dangerous levels. So even though the #Omicron variant may not be as deadly, many people still require hospitalization and the hospital staff are getting infected at rates that may not be sustainable. We need better PPP for staff.
3. Unvaccinated are the problem because they are filling the hospitals. What guarantee do we have that another variant as transmissible as Omicron but as deadly or more deadly than Delta won't be next up? Will the ongoing mutations create a virus that is immune to the vaccines?

1. The thing about #Covid19 from the start was that we didn't have the way to totally prevent infections just the ability mitigate the harm they caused with vaccines. Had @FoxNews & @Facebook @Meta not attacked America with a propaganda war we might have been ok. But now all the
2. unvaccinated like many vaccinated folks are going to catch this highly transmissible variant. Vaccinated people without other issues will likely survive. The direct victims of @Facebook and @foxnews imune compromised and unvaccinated are going to get sick and many may die and
3. others may live the rest of their lives disabled as the direct result of @facebook and @foxnews intentional wrongs. IMO we all have claims against @Meta and @Foxnews for public nuisance and fraud. Our law will have to evolve to bring them to justice but courts have the

1. Russian people got stuck with the corrupt KGB founded criminal enterprise parading as a sovereign government. After Putin install TFG, he likely told his crime family that he would be able to destroy NATO. He succeeded at getting the Oligarch infiltrated UK to leave EU
2. but his attack on Ukraine, clumsy attempt to influence the 2020 election with Giuliani's Ukraine fiasco has led to a stronger and more unified Ukraine. Now Putin is burning up his armed forces on a constant war-time footing and reports say he will add Russia's nuclear forces
3. to his endless war threats. This is not how an authoritarian leader who thinks he is secure behaves. If he felt he had the backing of the people who might be able to remove him, he'd have acted by now. Defense Minister Shoygu is just another criminal who has risen to
