@ByronTau @etuckerAP There's far more to debunk in your article than in Tulsi's claims.
The notion that George Papadopoulos drunkenly repeating what he'd heard on Fox News about a different server months before the DNC hack was the REAL reason to investigate is laughable.
@ByronTau @etuckerAP Equally laughable is the notion that Strzok was unaware of what Fusion GPS was up to . They'd just need with FBI agent Gaeta weeks before and that entire weekend Mook was telling CNN "experts are telling us this is a Trump Russia.Conspiracy"
Don't you think Strzok wondered who
@ByronTau @etuckerAP These "experts" were? Of course he already knew. Steele had also just been in DC having lunch with DOJ high up Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie. In fact, Crossfire Hurricane itself is a cheeky reference to Steele, via a 1986 comedy about a British Spy on the run from the KGB
@ByronTau @etuckerAP So yes, The investigation was based on the Dossier, the ICA was based on Oleg Smolenkov, and the DNC was likely hacked by kids out for the lulz, like the ones who hacked John Brennan and Colin Powell a year earlier (and gave the emails to WikiLeaks).

@lawfare @TylerMcBrien @AnnaBower Are we sure Trump is guilty of FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE SECOND DEGREE § 175.05?
It's a prerequisite for § 175.10.
A reasonable interpretation could be its purely monetary, i.e. claiming money moved in or out that did not. "False" is not the same as "mischarecterized"
@lawfare @TylerMcBrien @AnnaBower The "Second crime" of § 175.10 would then make more sense. Claiming money moved in or out that never did is bad, but if it's in commission of a larger financial fraud, the elevation of it to a Felony makes more sense.
@lawfare @TylerMcBrien @AnnaBower "mischarecterizing" the purpose of money that really did move in or out in the amounts claimed, seems to be rather trivial. And it's hard to think of why the NY Legislature would care why it was done. "Party favors" for the office party were really hookers and cocaine. Who cares?
The most serious charge facing most of the January 6th defendants, including Trump, is being stretched by the Gov't in charging, because it's meant to criminalize completely different behavior.
Your first giveaway is the title of the law: law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…
The first two sections A and B deal with witness tampering. Section C deals with document tampering. C (1) says it plainly. (2) covers their bases by including language that would apply to, say, deleting a file, or destroying a device, rather than shredding a paper document.
Taken out of context, section c (2) sounds like a fit for J6, but the "government proceeding" referred to is mean to be a catchall for trials, investigations, audits, etc..
4 tell-tale signs that Liberalism is an intentional scam, not just a misguided philosophy 🧵
Conservative philosophy at its base has no system other than to enshrine freedom from those who would attempt to usurp it. It’s self defensive in nature.
Liberalism on the other hand is a complex system meant to be impressed upon society as its found in its natural state to “correct injustices”.
The reported prosecution Alvin Bragg is preparing to bring against Trump is problematic in every way, legally. 🧵
The theory is in NY it's a crime to falsify business records IF it's for the purpose of commiting another crime. So this would be something typically added on to the underlying crime. But here, the underlying crime is campaign finance crime that are outside his jurisdiction,
thus the theory that he can prosecute the falsifying records but not an underlying crime. However, it would seem the statute would require proving the underlying crime to satisfy the requirements of the falsifying records crime. So that's his first problem.
Our news media landscape is just a potemkin village of fake outlets. Rick Scott claimed Republicans didn't show up to vote. So I googled "turnout" and got fifteen stories in a row about how Gen Z turned out big (except they didn't really) and that was the difference.
Had to dig to find actual turnout numbers. When I finally found them as I suspected they were in line or better than 2018.
Who gets paid to strategize these head fake narratives and then send out the memo to these fake news outlets? Talk about a cool job.
All these games news outlets hemorrhage money, btw, and they all have interconnected ownership.
Google needs a toggle switch to go to conservative news search results only I guess, them you'd just have a plain search engine for the information you typed in.
