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).

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.

Kathy Berden, a very close associate of Ronna McDaniel, was represented by Harmeet Dhillon's law firm in her deposition before Jan6 Committee. Kind of nutty given Harmeet's challenge to Ronna.

Berden didn't understand what a lawyer would mean by "hard copy." Image
Berden, the subpoena of whom triggered the censure of Liz Cheney, didn't want to talk about whether she was a GOP elector. Image

On a scale of 1-10, how much is this killing the void that in any other human would be Donald Trump's soul? Image

Jenna Ellis had an @DonaldTrump account she could no longer access to comply with the J6C subpoena.

@DonaldTrump Some of Jenna Ellis' responsive SIgnal texts had been auto-deleted.

Reminder that J6C specifically asked DJT for Signal texts. Image
@DonaldTrump Jenna doesn't want to explain whether the "Ali" in her privilege log is Ali Alexander.

I mean, can you blame her? Image

Many many many of these are people invoking the Fifth over and over.

Such as Garrett Ziegler invoking the Fifth over why Peter Navarro hired him right out of school to work as a policy analyst while also (illegally) working on Trump's reelect.
Ziegler is repped by Jeffrey McKellop attorney John Kionaga, which is interesting bc McKellop may be charged next month for violating the protective order.

Looking at Zelenskyy's face I wonder what USG had to brief him in person. Something ... ugly.
I wonder whether USG told him:
Multiple people credibly suggesting it has to do w/Belarus getting in.

I'm doing a longer post about how typically dishonest this boy is. But when Michael says FBI was "spying" on Rudy, he means, "Rudy was under criminal investigation for EXACTLY the kind of influence-peddling that led everyone to be concerned."
Also, to clarify: what I think Michael the Elmo-pet is calling "spying" is a set of warrants served on Rudy's cloud accounts in November 2019 SPECIFICALLY to investigate what he was doing to get Ukrainian and Russian dirt on ... Hunter Biden.
This little boy ALSO wrote his tale so as to obscure all the ACTUAL hacking and influence peddling. The reason everyone believed this could be a RU info op -- the reason we can't rule it out still!!! -- is bc 3 different investigative strands had CONFIRMED it was happening.
