The "bombshells" the Oversight Committee is pumping out before tomorrow's impeachment hearing range from "total non sequiter" to "actively undermines their case." Threaded below...

Merrick Garland’s DOJ indicted a Democratic senator. MAGA pundits responded with wild conspiracy theories. mediamatters.org/fox-news/merri…
Anyone who thought the charges against Robert Menendez would lead pundits on the right to reconsider their assertions of a “two tiered” system of justice was making a category error.
The right’s claim that President Joe Biden has “politicized” the Justice Department is not a reasoned, falsifiable claim based on evidence — it is a conspiracy theory in which all new information which seems to refute it is twisted by propagandists and marshaled in its support.

John Solomon inadvertently detonated the House impeachment case. Last month, he published a State Dept. briefing memo which irrefutably proves that it was U.S. policy to seek Viktor Shokin's removal at the time Biden was pushing for it as VP. mediamatters.org/fox-news/john-…
The memo states: There is wide agreement that anti-corruption must be at the top of this list, and that reforms must include an overhaul of the Prosecutor General’s Office including removal of Prosecutor General Shokin, who is widely regarded as an obstacle to fighting corruption, if not a source of the problem.
The right has claimed for years that when Biden told Ukraine’s leaders in December 2015 that the U.S. would not release $1 billion in loan guarantees unless they fired Shokin, the country’s prosecutor general, he was acting to benefit Hunter by halting his purported Burisma probe
Contemporaneous reports and testimony have long showed that this is wrong: Biden was carrying out U.S. policy, Shokin had been widely faulted by Western governments for failing to prosecute corruption, and his Burisma probe had stalled.

1. Here’s a thread about a grotesque and cynical bid by The Daily Caller, Breitbart, and The Daily Wire to farm traffic and engagement from anti-vaxxers by churning out posts about celebs and young athletes suffering heart attacks. mediamatters.org/daily-caller/r…
2. If you spend any time online, you know that anti-vaxxers inevitably but dubiously attribute heart attacks to the rare (and usually mild) COVID-19 vaccine side effect of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.
3. This is crap: Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes b/c strenuous exercise puts them at higher risk; there is no evidence of increase in such incidents post-vax; and rare tragedies happen often in a big country. “Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes,” according to the Mayo Clinic, which notes that “highly strenuous physical activities … can potentially put uncertain stress on the heart.” There is no evidence of a rise in athletes collapsing or dying from heart ailments since the rollout of the vaccines. Men’s basketball players and Black athletes are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death, according to a 2016 article on the condition in student athletes. This phenomenon long predates the development of the COVID vaccines — NBA player Reggie Lewis famously collap...

From Friday through Monday at noon, Fox spent almost 3 hours on an interview Brian Kilmeade conducted with Ukraine’s former prosecutor general Viktor Shokin.

They're rerunning what the network previously admitted was a disinformation campaign. mediamatters.org/trump-impeachm…
Shokin was fired in 2016 amid criticism from Western governments including the U.S. that he was not prosecuting corruption.

But on Fox, he maintained that he was actually so successful at it that Joe Biden forced him out to benefit Hunter's business interests.
If that sounds familiar it's because that was the basis for Trump's first impeachment. All the evidence that it is nonsense has been around since then. Biden had been following the official U.S. government position that Shokin must be removed because he was “an impediment to the reform of the prosecutorial system,” and the idea to push for his firing originated in the State Department, according to George Kent, who at the time was deputy chief of mission in Kyiv. Shokin’s office had been widely faulted by Western governments and Ukrainian anti-corruption activists for declining to prosecute corruption, and his deputy had alleged Shokin was obstructing such investigations and resigned in protest. In the months leading up to his firing, the...

In 2002, Coulter famously said that her “only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building”; she later expressed regret, saying she “should have added, ‘after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.’”
More recently, she wrote that the paper “must die,” explaining, “This is a newspaper that cannot be trusted on anything touching on race. They’re liars and ideologues, not reporters and editors.” mdjonline.com/opinion/ann-co…

Also she's a bigot but of course the Times knows that too. Image
