#MattyDickPics confesses he's getting a partisan selection of files.

So embarrassing to be so easily manipulated by Elmo like this. Image
For those asking how #MattyDickPics got his name -- it has been a long time since his first embarrassing failures in his Twitter propaganda.

BREAKING: The next piece of the puzzle was that #MattyDickPics wailed that Twitter took down nonconsensual dick pics posted by Guo Wengui. Image
And the next piece of the puzzle is we caught you lying about efforts to protect the vote.

emptywheel.net/2023/01/11/mat…
The next piece of the puzzle is @JamesComer revealed you were lying about censorship.

@JamesComer Holy shit this is exceptional.

#MattyDickPics has decided to hire "people to chase down" the details he didn't check before he went on a Twitter rant. Because that's how he does "journalism."

Fucking hilarious. Just fucking hilarious. Image
@JamesComer #MattyDickPics, who hasn't retracted any of about 7 egregious errors in his little Twitter rants, lectures others about revisiting their actual journalism. Image
Watch #mattydickpics engage in the kind of propaganda tactics he claims to be critiquing.

Just RIDICULOUS that he thinks he's fooling anyone but Elmo stans. Image
One more thing about #mattydickpics' wails that other journalists won't pick up on his rat turds? This "Hamilton 68" thing he wants others to use as "leads"? Was reported in real time 5 years ago.

Elon would like to remind you that Trump has installed HIS OWN BUREAUCRATS to access your $$, and thus far, his high school grads have fucked up at least 5 times.
Things @elonmusk's hand-selected bureaucrats have fucked up in 2 weeks on the job:

Forced out FAA head days b4 fatal accident
Screwed up Medicaid portal
Set up a way to spam entire agencies
Did shoddy research that led @karolineleavitt to lie abt Gaza
Offered unfunded buyouts
@elonmusk @karolineleavitt Why is Trump letting the richest man in the world fuck up YOUR OWN access to services the government owes you?

Barry Loudermilk, page 18: Liz Cheney had too much authority.

@RepLoudermilk, page 12: @Liz_Cheney didn't have enough authority. Image
Image
Loudermilk relied on Trump's Truth Social posts, rather than sworn testimony. I guess @RepLoudermilk is so stupid he believes everything Trump says on Truth Social? Image
A big part of @RepLoudermilk's attack on Cheney amounts to insinuation that @realJodyHunt acted unethically, which seems like something he might want to avoid. Image

Note that, contrary to common myths about the investigation into Trump, this subpoena PRECEDED Cassidy Hutchison's public testimony (and even Greg Jacob's, by a day).

The precedents were all set before Jack Smith was appointed.
Here's an interesting, almost entirely argument that bears on the immunity case. Trump was invoking Executive Privilege but (as Howell laid out) he was having such convos w/people outside of Exec, like Rudy.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Howell ordered second batch of witnesses to testify on November 19. Trump asked for a stay on December 7. In the interim, witnesses testified. That almost certainly means they are 2 Pats & likely Eric Herschmann (which is consistent w/public timeline).

Liz Cheney, Maria Shriver, and Kamala Harris sitting on a stage talking about bipartisanship. Image
One dynamic of this I've been tracking is this: Harris SHOULD NOT be talking nitty gritty abt Jan6 bc of the prosecution. Well, Cheney is the expert. And she speaks it well.

As she did, guy in back was nodding over and over. Image
Cheney: In this election, we need to elect the responsible adult.

It's definitely true that none of the files Jack Smith released are new.

But seeing all Trump's tweets in one place are useful as we attempt to prevent him from trying it again.

Here's what the legal return of a "fired-by-tweet" tweet looks like. @C_C_Krebs

We're three weeks away from the election, and we have literally no idea what the business relationship with Trump Org and the Saudis/Emiratis is.

No one has asked if either of the failsons (or Lara) will get a job in the White House to cash out for $2B in 4 years.
Back during the Joe Biden Old month, I was begging journalists to focus on just 3 Qs:

1) Is Trump an agent of the Saudis?
2) What deals has Trump made w/Orbán/Putin?
3) Where are the missing classified docs?

emptywheel.net/2024/07/17/boi…
We learned last week (from the NYT, among others!) that Trump is bypassing transition laws, meaning he--and his sons, the Saudi business partners and transition team members--could just get payments from the Saudis all the way until inauguration.
