4/ WHOA! Comey's fingerprints are all over the mess again!!
5/ And Obama is behind it all, ordering assessment before Trump's in office:
6/ After meeting with Obama, CIA leaks to Washington Post false claims--ones completely contradicting previously IC assessment.
7/ Leaks to Post included fake claims that formed false narrative Brennan later inserted into the ICA--that Russia interfered to help Trump.
8/ BUT recall, Obama never received briefing saying that didn't and couldn't happen.
8/ BOOM: Whistleblower reveals he was sidelined and objected to findings.
9/ ICA not only affirmatively false but suppressed.
10/ WHOA! Clapper privately viewed Steele Dossier as "untrustworthy" but went along with it being included!
11/ So Steele dossier was not believed credible except when IC and FBI pushed public info.
12/ This note is fascinating to me because it reveals that those moving on to do Obama ICA realized what was wanted was a change in findings!
13/ LOL: Yeah, keeping your lies straight is often a bit of a balancing act!
14/ This email refers back to Comey's "dissent" that came out of left-field!
15/ Yup, it was all Obama!
16/16 Final thought: Obama, Brennan, Comey, and Clapper did everything they could to cause Americans to have a lack of confidence in 2016 election! Rather than state IC concludes no hacking of election & lack of ability to do.

The press (legacy and new) and the investing public seem to have no idea what the Obama Administration launched in the Consolidated Audit Trail and what current SEC is currently doing--computer searches of OUR private data without any basis! @NCLAlegal 1/
2/ I'm frankly shocked that more civil libertarians aren't screaming about this! And now SEC is trying to delay Plaintiffs' day in court! Details here: nclalegal.org/feds-are-steal…
I'm working on a piece tomorrow to counter all the spin on the courts refusing to issue arrest warrant against Don Lemon in first instance as somehow vindicating him. BUT I think it merits stressing WHY DOJ sought arrest warrant that way first. 1/
2/2 DOJ feared there would be widespread copycat assaults in places of worship the following weekend unless it moved quickly to show public such behavior was illegal and would be prosecuted.
THREAD: Yesterday @EdWhelanEPPC defended Judge Schlitz for not recusing in ICE cases even though he is publicly listed as a donor to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. @HarmeetKDhillon called him out. 1/
2/ Ed quoted from a section of the Compendium § 4.2-3(g)), a federal appellate judge shared with him that stated: “A judge may contribute financially to legal service associations that provide counsel for the poor. A judge need not recuse merely because lawyers who accept appointments by such associations are also counsel of record in cases before that judge.”
3/ @HarmeetKDhillon correctly pointed out that language is out-of-context & cherry picked & ignores other canons. Before explaining, let me provide some background so you can judge the analysis. For at least 6 (possibly 8) years, my federal appellate judge tasked me as sole
