MSNBC finally covering Durham went about as well as you might have expected
Jeremy Bash: "On the face of the pleading — I read it too — it makes no sense. Hillary Clinton’s campaign was over when Donald Trump was inaugurated president, so how could she have had her campaign spying on him while he’s president? It makes no sense.”
More from this segment: @jheil @Tom_Winter say Durham hasn’t exposed anyone monitoring Trump communications: “If you are doing DNS lookup, it is not possible to dig into the heart of those communications.”

“This is data traffic that travels on the Internet, that’s non-private"

Hey friends, just back from another suspension. As I've been documenting for some time now, @Twitter is targeting me because I'm an effective conservative journalist who frequently undermines political causes their far-left staff is endeavoring to advance. 1/
Despite having never broken any rules, @Twitter has now suspended me four separate times. Allow me to quickly recap: /2
1) In 2021, I attacked @AndrewCuomo for withholding vaccines for NYC seniors as part of his catfight w/ De Blasio. Twitter suspended me for "abuse and harassment," as apparently it's against the rules to critique their favorite predators, err politicians!

MSNBC’s @NicolleDWallace, yesterday: "Tragically anti-mask insanity has now reached the highest court in the land.”

"Nina Totenberg .. really is a true insider, well-sourced on the Court"
@NicolleDWallace Morning Joe’s @morningmika: "Chief Justice John Roberts asked the other justices to mask up. They all did, except for Gorsuch."
@NicolleDWallace @morningmika CNN’s @donlemon: "Sources say Justice Sotomayor is concerned about Covid because she suffers from diabetes and underlying health conditions."

A mere 3 weeks later, I’ve finally managed to get @Twitter to respond to my media company, @GrabienMedia, being suspended for engaging in journalism.

Twitter’s response? “Our position still stands on your Covid Misinformation [sic] tweet.”
I’ve replied:

So your “position” is that journalists reporting the news violates your “Covid misinformation policy”? 

Can you please explain why our account remains suspended while, for example, this kind of account remains up?

As you can see, it would make no sense to prevent the media from reporting on claims politicians make about Covid — whether true or false. Under your standard, CNN, for example, would have been suspended for reporting on Trump saying bleach might be a possible Covid antidote.

I’ve just read the full indictment of the Oath Keepers’ founder on “seditious conspiracy” and there’s no way they’re going to convict. At no point do they ever explain the “seditious conspiracy.” The indictment merely shows they planned to go to D.C. to protest & cause trouble.
The lack of evidence likely explains why it’s taken more than a year before filing charges. You’ll also see the FBI leans heavily on editorializing throughout the indictment, and offers random, unrelated commentary — like this line about the “thousands of dollars” of damage.
Having apparently taken defendants' phones, the indictment reads like a synopsis of everything they texted each other in the weeks between the election and Biden’s inauguration … such as this random joke about staying at a Holiday Inn
