Coming in late to @jamesComer's Hunter Biden dick pic hearing. Witness Anna Navaroli describes predicting on Jan5 that someone is going to get shot.

@JamesComer James Comer says didn't Biden have contact with Twitter?

He did!!

About DICK PICS DICK PICS DICK PICS DICK PICS!!!
@JamesComer Now Comer lies.

Really disgraceful behavior from a senior Republican.

Also claims that "so much of this family" is in that hard drive. Shameful stuff.
@JamesComer James Comer just effectively said that the government has no role in protecting the right to vote, basically taking a pro Ku Klux Klan view.
@JamesComer Yoel Roth: Matt Taibbi is helping to get people in Manila threatened.

Roth says that #mattydickpics and Elmo cause him to have to sell his house.
@JamesComer Nancy Mace, supposedly once of the smart ones, says that any doctor educated at Harvard or Stanford must be able to speak on Twitter, which is nutty, bc Michael Caputo was actually censoring such people at HHS.
@JamesComer Jim Jordan now complaining that the FBI has a means to share legal requests secretly with Twitter.
@JamesComer One thing that's useful background, bc you SURE as hell won't get it from #mattydickpics:

The teleporter that Elvis Chan used the night before the Hunter Biden laptop was used with legal service. I get that Jim Jordan doesn't understand that.
@JamesComer BREAKING: @RepDonaldsPress raises Dick Pics.

Why does Byron Donalds want to see pictures of Hunter Biden's dick?
@JamesComer @RepDonaldsPress Donalds: "What does handled these" mean?

Roth: My understanding is that these tweets contained non-consensual nude tweets of Hunter Biden.
@JamesComer @RepDonaldsPress Byron Donalds doesn't understand that he's making an argument that Steve Bannon was demanding an in-kind contribution from Twitter for disseminating propaganda.
@JamesComer @RepDonaldsPress AOC now noting that election operatives are complaining that they couldn't get away with injecting disinformation onto Twitter.

"A whole hearing about a 24-hour hiccup in a right wing political operation."
@JamesComer @RepDonaldsPress Now talking about Trump's attempt to inject right wing political disinformation onto Twitter.
@JamesComer @RepDonaldsPress AOC noting that Twitter had a specific rule about "go back to where you came from" on abuse of immigrations. They REMOVED their own Twitter policy to accommodate Trump's racism.
AOC tying Libs of TikTok to the bomb threat against Boston Children's Hospital.
AOC: This is the party that cannot pick on anyone their own side.
Russell Fry, following IMMEDIATELY after the disclosure that Twitter was rewriting its policy to allow Trump to attack immigrants, is too stupid to adjust his script and so claims that Trump was silenced.

Now making the pro-RU disinformation case.
I wonder if @RussellFrySC knows that his complaints about FBI reporting seemingly American twitter accounts included some cases of Iranian spies hijacking the Proud Boy identities?

Why does he want to help Iranian spies?
Shontel Brown gets Roth to explain that SSCI recommended better information sharing in the wake of 2016.
Roth described the information sharing from the govt among the most important ways to protect elections.
Marge just got the date when her Twitter account was banned wrong, saying it was in 2002.
Now Marge is talking Ivermectin.

Basically making shit up, but she has yet to ask for someone to be killed.
Marge thanks "ElonMuskBot twitter" for firing these people.
Jimmy Gomez gets Roth to establish that Marge's personal account was removed bc of her COVID conspiracy theories after multiple warnings.

She loses her shit.
Gomez cedes to Goldman, who lays out that the NYPost story was inaccurate, and Comer bites, asking Goldman to prove it.
Goldman: Right off the top, the very first ¶ of this story is completely false.

Now, what is the connection?

I would ask, do you meet with foreign businessmen?
Goldman: I hope you are not wasting taxpayer dollars into the civilian child for political purposes.

Comer, will the gentleman yield? Did Biden get him fired?

Goldman: Pressured Ukraine who was not prosecuting corrupt companies.

Comer: His son's corrupt company?

Goldman: Yes.
I hope journalists are using this break to ask @ByronDonalds why he's mad he can't see Hunter Biden's dick -- and why he's spending tax payer $$ harassing former Twitter people because he can't. Cause that's weird.
@ByronDonalds New VT Rep @RepBeccaB laying out how the dick pics Twitter did not have a role in the Hunter Biden story.
@ByronDonalds @RepBeccaB But she doesn't tee up Roth to explain that @dfriedman33 and others have confirmed that those links were dick pics, at least one, posted by Steve Bannon associate Guo Wengui.
@ByronDonalds @RepBeccaB @dfriedman33 BREAKING: Alabama Congressman Gary Palmer says Twitter should take down terrorist tweets.

On December 15, 2020, the Proud Boys had a discussion about only coming back to DC if Trump asked them.

documentcloud.org/documents/2360… Image
Then DOJ introduced this as evidence.

It has been evidence in a slew of Jan6 cases. None, that I know of, where co-conspirators discussed coming armed to DC if Trump asked them to come. Image
Also, fuck you to the TV lawyers who've insisted over and over that DOJ had no plans to tie Trump to the Proud Boys.

Mike Pence said things in his WSJ column that breach any EP claim -- and that Jack Smith needs to get on the record as potentially exculpatory.
I wrote about this here:

emptywheel.net/2022/11/10/aft…
As I noted, Jack Smith could not take action without getting this direct fact witness on the record about what he meant by this comment.

Also, he need to get Pence under oath bc this sounds like an attempt to provide Trump excuses. Image

One day after OGR proved that #mattydickpics is a liar who "censored" information about Trump's efforts to suppress speech, Elise and Turley are treating #mattydickpics as a factual mouthpiece.
BREAKING: Elise says that tech companies should no longer be reimbursed for legal process.
Remember that there are lawyers involved with Twitter Files whose role has not been disclosed. Are we sure Turley is not involved personally?

Less than 5 minutes into Jim Jordan's Deep State Committee, Jordan has complained that militia members who attacked the Capitol are investigated as domestic terrorists.

He calls a guy who REFUSED to arrest militia members a "whistleblower."
WHY IS JIM JORDAN OPPOSED TO ARRESTING THOSE WHO ATTACKED THE CAPITOL?

Things @FarnoushAmiri and @BarbaraOrtutay decided not to mention in their report on the Twitter hearing: That the only evidence of govt interference at the hearing came from Trump.

apnews.com/article/techno…
@FarnoushAmiri @BarbaraOrtutay They quote @danielsgoldman calling the hearing a fishing expedition. They don't quote any of his long explanation of why the claims about the "laptop" were false (including, in one place, relying on the NYPost story). Image
@FarnoushAmiri @BarbaraOrtutay @danielsgoldman They choose not to mention that @ByronDonalds complained that he couldn't see Hunter Biden's dick pics on Twitter -- it seems relevant, no?

Gonna reup this post from last month bc people REALLY ought to be tuning into the Proud Boys case.

If the Former President Gets Top Billing in a Sedition Trial But You Didn't Bother to Notice ...

emptywheel.net/2023/01/14/if-…
Here's my list of the journalists covering the trial (if you're covering it and I missed you, please let me know).

Yesterday, prosecutors submitted that Trump video -- stand back and stand by -- along with some Telegram chats showing how the PBs responded, including cleaning up their act a bit and planning mobs at state capitols.
