Anyone besides me wonder why Lee Fang chose not to screen cap this doc (especially given how #mattydickpics and Michael Smallberger have misrepresented Jim Baker screen caps)?
In fact, the very next tweet, which Fang DOES screen cap, shows a Jim Baker interlocutor raising concerns about bullshit from DOD. Only ... that's not how Fang portrays it.
Thus far EVERY purportedly scandalous twitter account that Elmo's pets have focused on were ... not what the pets claimed they were.

Here, Fang asks us to trust him that he's not as shoddy a journalist as his fellow Elmo-pets have been.

Why should we?

Show your work.
Anyway here's the Jim Baker email (which Fang links but does not screencap in his own piece).

s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2346…
There seem to be two takeaways from this. It is ABSOLUTELY the case that Twitter treated DOD differently than Russia or Iran.

It is also the case that Elmo's Twitter is not sharing the very same secrets that Baker was speculating about and Elmo's twitter have left some up.

Nice to start cataloging the people, like @MaryMargOlohan, who are stupid enough to take @SecRubio's false claims about what the EU fine is for seriously.

Thanks for making that clear! Image
Big Dick Toilet Salesman says he is stupid or a liar. Image
Unsurprising that Medicare fraudster @SenRickScott thinks fines for fraudulent consumer claims are censorship. Image

To add the confusion of the many ways Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer bolloxed her attempt to indict Jim Comey, there are actually THREE different documents.

First, what she purports is an indictment (but which was not presented to GJ in this form). Sig page looks like this. Image
The sig page for the doc originally docketed as the no-bill indictment looks like this (identical to what I just posted). Basically, Lindsey put the sig page from the purported indictment on the no-billed one. Image
Sometime later that day, someone FIXED that (the no-billed indictment) with a correct last page. Image

Let me try to explain how John Durham made you MAGAts all look like dumbasses.

By context, this email of 2 Russian spies talking about starting a Deep State conspiracy is July 26. Image
But this Russian spy report--the one you're all drooling over? Durham has, AFAIK, ALWAYS hidden the date of that. Always. 🤔 @ChuckGrassley is probably colluding with him to do so now.

But BY CONTENT, it can only have been written July 26 or later. Image
@ChuckGrassley Now, Durham concluded that the Bernardo emails were "compilations," which is a dodge word for "fabrication." But even if you believe the Bernardo emails are REAL, the one via which the Russian spies would have "learned" that Hillary "approved" a smear campaign was date July 27. Image

Unsurprisingly, fabulist Alex Thompson makes some errors in his cherry pick of Biden recordings.

The thing to know is Hur treated the MEMO (as distinct from docs from garage) as a personal doc, akin to Reagan's (and Biden's diaries).

Biden couldn't have requisite intent. Image
There are other likely errors or unfaithful cherry picks. Those will have to wait for a version that is not obviously cherry picked.
Here's one of my more comprehensive posts on the report itself.

FWIW, it was "National Security Adviser" @MikeWaltz47 who added @JeffreyGoldberg to the Signal thread.

So if it was caused by a drunken bender, it wasn't Whiskey @PeteHegseth's bender.

In a declaration filed this week, Trump's top DOGE at Treasury cited a GAO report from last year. Lots of people On Here are taking that $2.7T out of context. (And ignoring that poor Tom miscited some quotes in this paragraph, but we expect shoddy work from DOGE.)

But let's look at the GAO Report he relies on, shall we?

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Here's the report.



FIRST humiliating thing DOGE Tom didn't tell anyone is that MANY of these improper payments--the reason there was a recent spike--pertain to Trump's own COVID programs.

DOGE Tom says we need to fix Treasury bc Trump encouraged fraud. gao.gov/assets/gao-24-…Image
Here's EVEN MORE humiliating thing DOGE Tom told us. To get fraud #s he lays out, he relies on this Congressional testimony.

Humiliation 1: It's abt fraud in Trump's own COVID programs again.

Humiliation 2: Mike Ware is one of IG's Trump fired on Day 4.
