#TwitterFiles: Prominent Democrats knowingly pushed a false #RussiaGate-related narrative about “Russian bots” promoting a key memo that detailed efforts to spy on the Trump campaign—despite lawmakers being told by @Twitter executives that it wasn’t true. theepochtimes.com/claims-that-ru…
Democrats alleged that “Russian bots” were spreading an explosive report from then-Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Rep. @DevinNunes.

“Twitter officials were aghast, finding no evidence of Russian influence,” @MTaibbi said.
“At a crucial moment in a years-long furor,” @MTaibbi explained in one of the posts, “Democrats denounced a report about flaws in the Trump-Russia investigation, saying it was boosted by Russian ‘bots’ and ‘trolls.’”
Multiple legacy outlets also did the same, claiming Russian bots and trolls were behind the effort. All had cited the same source—the Hamilton 68 dashboard.

Executives inside #Twitter complained that “Hamilton 68 seemed to be everyone’s only source.”
@MTaibbi shared an email from Twitter's Emily Horne, which said “it is extraordinarily difficult for outside researchers…to say with any degree of certainty that they believe an account is behaving suspiciously is 1) automated and 2) Russian.”
“Schiff and the Democrats falsely claimed Russians were behind the Release the Memo hashtag, all my investigative work,” @DevinNunes said, adding “…they instigated one of the greatest outbreaks of mass delusion in US history.” theepochtimes.com/claims-that-ru…

EXCLUSIVE: A top US Capitol Police commander failed to respond to repeated urgent calls to evacuate Congress on #Jan6, causing the loss of precious time that might have prevented the shooting death of protester #AshliBabbitt, a former USCP commander said. theepochtimes.com/exclusive-form…
The delay caused by the radio silence from the Capitol Police Command Center was so urgent that the veteran lieutenant forged ahead with the evacuation anyway, saying he feared lawmakers would be injured or killed if he didn’t lead them to safety.
In a series of exclusive interviews with @EpochTimes, former Lt. Tarik K. Johnson detailed allegations that Assistant Chief Yogananda Pittman failed to respond to multiple urgent calls for help.

“I begged for help all day on Jan. 6, 2021, and I feel I was largely ignored.”

Tough negotiations in Congress that ended with Kevin McCarthy becoming House Speaker have led to a series of compromises, including 7 conservative bills that are guaranteed to be put to a vote.👇theepochtimes.com/here-are-the-7…
@SpeakerMcCarthy had to make numerous concessions to win over a holdout group of populist Republicans, including one that gives him a fragile grip on power by allowing just one member to move to vacate the speaker’s chair. theepochtimes.com/mccarthys-conc…
The rocky road to the gavel led to a compromise on a rules package, which includes 7 bills that the 20 holdout Republicans pushed for.

“This is what we’ve been fighting for,” @RepMattGaetz said.

Newly elected @SpeakerMcCarthy had to make numerous concessions to win over a holdout group of populist Republicans.

Here are the key concessions McCarthy had to make. theepochtimes.com/mccarthys-conc…
“[McCarthy] will be the weakest speaker we’ve seen in a generation,” Rachel Semmel.

McCarthy was elected by a narrow vote of 216–212.

It normally takes 218 votes to become speaker, but that threshold can be reduced if members are absent or vote present. theepochtimes.com/kevin-mccarthy…
The House now plans to vote on a hefty rules package, which includes a series of concessions.

Republican strategists say the key concession—allowing just 1 member to move to vacate the speaker’s chair—gives McCarthy just a fragile grip on power. rules.house.gov/bill/118/h-res

#COVID19 has left lasting imprints on everyone.

People are now looking back on the pandemic as a poorly managed public health crisis with lasting consequences. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/health/10-ways…
1. Declining Trust in Vaccinations

Vaccines have begun to lose favor with the general public since the #COVID19 pandemic response.

A December @Rasmussen_Poll found that 57% of Americans were concerned about “major side effects.” theepochtimes.com/health/flu-vax…
“It’s hard to tell a parent who’s son was an 18-years-old athlete who died 4 days after a shot, that [the death] is not from the shot.”

For many, @US_FDA's authorizing mRNA vaccines for children—despite data showing questionable clinical efficacy—was the final straw.

Dr. #AnthonyFauci’s deposition, taken as part of a lawsuit alleging #Collusion between the US government and #BigTech, was released Dec. 5.

Here are some takeaways: theepochtimes.com/faucis-deposit…
Dr. #AnthonyFauci relied on others to dismiss #WuhanLabLeak theory.

Just weeks before a paper dismissing the lab leak theory was published, Fauci held a secret phone call with the authors of a paper. theepochtimes.com/new-emails-rev…
Despite having communicated repeatedly with the authors, Fauci said he couldn’t recall their names during a White House press conference in April 2020. trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-stat…
