A lot nobody wants to believe:

-Nobody wanted to believe Speaker #DennisHastert raped high school boys.

-Nobody wanted to believe longtime federal judge #JackCamp used heavy drugs and aided and abetted a felon and illegally gave a stripper his government-issued laptop.
2/4
 -Nobody wanted to believe US Rep #EricMassa was groping young male staffers.

-Nobody wanted to believe US Rep #AnthonyWeiner was sexting a 15 yr old girl.
3/4
 -Nobody wanted to believe Senator #AlFranken would forcibly kiss someone and then subsequently take a photo pretending to grope that same woman while she slept.

-Nobody wanted to believe US Rep #JohnConyers was sexually groping and harassing his staffers.
4/4
 -Nobody wanted to believe tax dollars were being used to settle sexual civil suits against Members of #Congress.

-Nobody wanted to believe so many Members were cheating.

-Nobody ever wants to believe all the affairs and odd sexual behavior swirling around The Hill.

1/9 The administration has earned “anti-corruption points” without acknowledging our corruption and that is amazing. They even use key phrases like “national security threat” (which #corruption is), but do it while completely ignoring what makes it a national security threat.
2/9 #Corruption that occurs in Argentina by Argentinian officials is what creates the significant national security threat to Argentina. Corruption that occurs in the United States by US officials is what creates the significant national security threat to the US.
3/9 Facilitators and fixers operating within the US to the benefit of foreign corrupt officials is a problem that rightly needs to be addressed. Doing so strengthens our economic security and is a great way to complicate the lives of foreign corrupt officials. #corruption

1/4 short thread
The fact that DOJ does not have a history of aggressively prosecuting people who ignore congressional subpoenas, regardless of which party is in the White House is very telling.

2/4
 Offended legal “experts” and former federal prosecutors (you know who you are) clamoring for charges and acting like it all undermines rule of law if they aren’t charged are playing you.

Cont.
3/4
 The distinction between something entirely political and not wholly political is dubious on The Hill. DOJ knows this and wants to stay out of it as much possible. So that’s what they do…they often leave it alone. And the Left and Right both want it that way. Because…

1/9 Impeachment fun fact: sitting Congressman #AlceeHastings, participating in current #impeachment, was himself impeached. He was fed judge convicted on 8 articles related to bribery/lying under oath. 4-years later, he was in #Congress. Following is from Senate.gov:
2/9 “In 1981, a fed grand jury indicted Judge Hastings along with his friend William Borders, a D.C. lawyer. Hastings was charged with conspiracy/obstruction of justice for soliciting a $150,000 bribe in return for reducing the sentences of two mob-connected felons.” #corruption
3/9 “A year after Borders was convicted, the result of an FBI sting, Hastings's case came before the criminal court. Despite Borders’ conviction, and the fact that Hastings had indeed reduced the sentences of the two felons, he was acquitted...and returned to his judicial post.”

1/25 Thread: “Jeffrey #Epstein and the Temple of Doom” - this is outside the norm for me as it’s more of a cultural observation than #FBI #LEanalysis, but it crossed into two areas in which I have interest (film and law enforcement), so I thought I’d share. @Tiff_FitzHenry
2/#StevenSpielberg and #GeorgeLucas had the likes of Epstein in mind when they forged one of the most iconic characters in cinema history, #IndianaJones.The full-time prof and part-time adventurer was handsome, charismatic, well-traveled and had abused at least one underage girl.
3/In the first installment of the Indiana Jones series, #RAIDERSOFTHELOSTARK, Indy travels to Nepal in search for an artifact essential to finding the lost Ark of the Covenant. It’s in a Nepalese bar where Indy encounters, Marion Ravenwood.
