🚨The reported upcoming arrest of President Trump by hyper partisan Soros prosecutor Alvin Bragg is some Third World Banana Republic lunacy and a very, very dangerous road to go down. 🧵
Leftists in the United States are increasingly weaponizing investigations to persecute and prosecute political opponents. It must end.
The left’s conduct is similar to the conduct you find in a banana republic where the authoritarian state punishes its political enemies with criminal prosecutions in search of crimes.
It’s antithetical to America’s founding which rejected the idea and practice of those in power punishing political opponents for vague and ambiguous “crimes against the state.”  Instead, the Founders chose to create a country of laws, not of men.
Justice is supposed to be blind – there is a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold instead of a political jersey.  Prosecutors have a special responsibility to adhere to the rule of law.
Trump Derangement Syndrome does not provide legal cover.  The public rightfully expects prosecutors to carry out our responsibilities without political prejudice.  Indictments, investigations and incarceration to settle political scores shows a deep contempt for the rule of law.
If this same behavior occurred in an authoritarian state, our own U.S. State Department would condemn it.  In liberal New York, evidently it’s politics as usual.
We must have the courage to call out this insanity before it becomes normalized. We must fight to save this Republic and the rule of law.  If we don’t, or if we choose to remain silent, we will become just another junk banana republic. —End Thread

🚨THREAD - NEW: @OIGatHHS today released an audit of NIH’s funding of gain-of-function research, specifically grants to EcoHealth Alliance, run by Peter Daszak. The lack of oversight is stunning and I intend to demand more answers. Here are the highlights: oig.hhs.gov/oas/reports/re…
One thing is clear from this audit: Fauci’s organization had multiple opportunities to stop the research that may have led to the pandemic.
Fauci’s organization (NIAID) determined multiple times that the EcoHealth grant did not involve prohibited gain-of-function research.

Thanks to @elonmusk’s Twitter Files, we now know that James Baker had an outsized role in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story at Twitter. Last week, we sent a letter to Twitter, asking the platform to look into whether any key documents were deleted. ImageImage
Further, we asked Twitter to reveal who from the federal government communicated with Twitter to censor speech. Based on our recent depositions, we believe the previous list we received pursuant to a third party subpoena was incomplete.
Lastly, we asked Twitter to provide responsive documents pursuant to our original third party subpoena.

🚨BREAKING: In our deposition of FBI agent Elvis Chan on Tuesday, we found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech - from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns.
Chan, the FBI's FITF, and senior CISA officials had meetings with social media companies in the lead-up to the 2020 election, in which Chan personally told the social media companies that there could potentially be a Russian “hack and leak” operation shortly before the election.
Those meetings were initially quarterly, then monthly, then weekly heading into the 2020 election.
