I must admit when I read @juliandibbell's story A Rape In Cyberspace I mistakenly took it to be fictionalized- but truth is stranger than fiction. @sparklebliss set me straight. Read the story here: juliandibbell.com/articles/a-rap…

@MailerLite I hope to get your urgent attention to my account- justin [at] techpolicy [dot] press.
@MailerLite I just sent a weekly email that included this story and came with a warning about rape and sexual assault- and it flagged your system. Can you take a look? techpolicy.press/the-sunday-sho…
@MailerLite @ignasR any way you can help? I love your product (and if you do succeed in moving to NYC I look forward to hopefully meeting)

NYT: Jan 6 committee is borrowing techniques from federal prosecutions with tactics typically used against mobsters and terrorists as it seeks to break through stonewalling from Trump and his allies and develop evidence that could prompt a criminal case. nytimes.com/2022/02/05/us/…
I feel this is rather low risk. In fact the investigation has already produced compelling new information?
Kind of threatening remarks from Brand, who no matter his own party affiliation represents a former Trump White House official. Is he aware of other threats of retaliation being made against the committee?

Imagine Donald Trump pardoning the people that bludgeoned the police, the men that had an armory of weapons in Arlington, the men and women that sought to kill his own Vice President.
It's important to note that leaders of the Oathkeepers and other extremists were deeply angry that Trump failed to pardon everyone involved in January 6. I think these statements gave to be read as directed at them- mending the relationship.
