THREAD: ⬇️The people to blame for making our country less safe are the people who abused the FISA court & exploited DARPA data for political reasons or remained quiet once they realized what others were doing, not those who expose abuse & exploitation. 1/
2/ And it is precisely because I believe FISA & enhanced attribution are necessary to protect our national security that I am outraged at the abuse, exploitation, and excusing of the former. Americans are (or have) lost trust in our government & will demand reforms/limits
3/ that will put us more at risk because of the abuse or exploitation. I keep siddling closer to the libertarian camp every day b/c of what I'm discovering. And burying that truth isn't going to make our country safer.
4/ Our country will be made safer when those holding the great power to defend our country stop excusing those who pushed Alfa Hoax to FBI & CIA, or the cell phone hoax, or the Russia collusion hoax, or the Steele dossier, and admit you don't do what Sussmann & Joffe were alleged
5/ to have done. You admit that the Clinton Campaign paying for these faux scandals is the biggest scandal of the century. And you stop blaming Durham & those who reveal the truth.
6/6 I want the FISA court to succeed. I want DARPA to succeed--but I'm not the one threatening their success.
Post-Twit: If you want to know what data DARPA is having Ga Tech look at, here you go. With great power, comes great responsibility.

Conflict of Interest hearing live now in Sussmann case:
2/ Conflict waived. Now on Motion to Strike. Judge couple questions: Being defense has no objection to engaging Sussmann w/ colloque why not just consent motion. Reason for motion-prosecutor wanted to be extra careful to have factual basis and make record.
3/ Prosecutor: Wanted to make crystal clear on record.
Defendant: Wants to guard against this happening again.
THREAD: I am absolutely THRILLED the @WSJ is now digging into the details of the Alfa Bank data sharing here. h/t @McAdooGordon. Authors @ByronTau@dnvolz hit several key points that I reported on earlier but also missed several leads. 1/ wsj.com/articles/durha…
2/ They report on emails from GA Tech Right to Know (which I believe I was first reporter to obtain), but miss some of details elaborated on here in piece w/ assist by @Techno_Fogthefederalist.com/2021/11/17/ema…
3/ For those interested in the actual emails showing timing of the contract with DARPA.
THREAD re Joffe's Deposition h/t @FOOL_NELSON@RyanM58699717 1/ While Joffe's claims at time of deposition he expects investigation will be over in a few weeks, apparently they said the same thing several months ago.
2/ Joffe refused to be interviewed and has not testified before the grand jury.
3/ And asked to interview him about a year ago. (the dep is from 2/11.
10/ And what is most striking to me is how the "guardians of the internet" wanted to sell their story when they owned it in Slate & The New Yorker. WHY was that so different than how Durham put it in indictment?
11/11 I emailed one of big-wigs at Ops-Trust and got no response. And lawyers for Joffe, Tea Leaves, & Georgia Tech researchers ignored my requests for comment. So I guess we will have to wait to parse @charlie_savage spin & clean-up.
