@satirehat @Loveon999 @rickyx2001 @clearing_fog 1/ I saw this (!) and (another) of go-to Twitter sources, @nycjim tweeted this morning😊: (more...)

@satirehat @Loveon999 @rickyx2001 @clearing_fog @nycjim 2/ But this is what blew my mind yesterday.
@LincolnsBible's RT'd a tweet from this⤵️ thread, written more than 2 months ago (and got a lot of engagement), so may be old news to most people: @trcfwtt @L_u_cy @TeresaCCarter2 @YDanasmithdutra @zipillinois

@satirehat @Loveon999 @rickyx2001 @clearing_fog @nycjim @LincolnsBible @trcfwtt @L_u_cy @TeresaCCarter2 @YDanasmithdutra @zipillinois 3/ I've wasted *a lot* of time on Michael Flynn (including articles dating back to before he was DIA director), but never saw 3.6.14 Reuters article⤴️ by Mark Hosenball (who also penned erroneous Aug 20 2021 article: "FBI finds scant evidence US Capitol attack was coordinated").

@satirehat @Loveon999 @rickyx2001 @clearing_fog @nycjim @LincolnsBible @trcfwtt @L_u_cy @TeresaCCarter2 @YDanasmithdutra @zipillinois 5/ For reference, here's 8.21*.2021 Reuters article. After it was published, felt like I had egg on my face bc I've defended certain Reuters writers like him and Aram Roston who have published great (IMHO) investigative articles.

@satirehat @Loveon999 @rickyx2001 @clearing_fog @nycjim @LincolnsBible @trcfwtt @L_u_cy @TeresaCCarter2 @YDanasmithdutra @zipillinois @PiperK 8/ It's well known that Michael Flynn believed the CIA was mortal enemies of DOD/DIA.
A journalist (who deleted his thread☹️) said that Pentagon released a less redacted version of Peter Strzok's Jan 24, 2017 interview with Flynn on Dec 17, 2018. (more...)

@satirehat @Loveon999 @rickyx2001 @clearing_fog @nycjim @LincolnsBible @trcfwtt @L_u_cy @TeresaCCarter2 @YDanasmithdutra @zipillinois @PiperK 9/ I haven't done a side-by-side comparison of Flynn's 302 w/FBI (see PDF in previous tweet), but Robert Mueller (not DOD, sorry for errors in this thread) said the only difference between 2 versions is that “DRAFT document deliberative material" was removed from FBI 302.

@satirehat @Loveon999 @rickyx2001 @clearing_fog @nycjim @LincolnsBible @trcfwtt @L_u_cy @TeresaCCarter2 @YDanasmithdutra @zipillinois @PiperK 12/ Total mystery as *why* DIA was blindsided by Russia🇷🇺 invasion of Crimea, right?
I'm a bit confused about the dates of Russia🇷🇺 invasion of Crimea, perhaps @j2dumfounded @tammy_sager can help. (more)

The soldiers who coerced Crimea parliament were not dressed as Russian military, so difficult to prove at the time that Russia invaded Crimea. /end
