A couple of thoughts since Ratcliffe HRC's name twice today.
He reminded everyone that the entire conspiracy began as a distraction from her email scandal and she worked WITH Russians to do it.
He also said her testimony to Durham 'didn't line up with the intel'
IOW she lied.
1/
Next.
One of the 1st items in the latest declass was the OIG MYE annex that Grassley had wanted for years.
It showed the FBI did NOT investigate her server fully.
We learned they ignored tranches of emails on those USBs bc of where they originated.
Obama, SOS and Congress.
2/
It begs the question.
Did the FBI ever look at the full data on the server?
We know about the quick scan of Wiener's laptop- now that makes sense.
3/
It also begs the question of Obama's role in clearing HRC in the MYE exam through Loretta Lynch and the Renteria Memo.
That was never fully investigated either.
4/
Now Grassley and Rep Turner, chair of HPSCI, sent a joint letter to Kash DEMANDING an investigation into all of those matters.
Who knows how bad an intelligence failure that server was?
We know there was SAP material on that server.
We know that Comey gave her a pass.
5/
We don't know why Comey gave her a pass. We do know Sen Cotton wants Kash to do a review on every investigation Comey ever touched.
We know Comey and Obama knew the Dossier was a Clinton op from the beginning.
We know Comey used the dossier in the FISAs.
And used Halper
6/
According to Kash's book he used Halper as part of a
The insurance policy, and there is another part of the insurance policy that is still classified according to Kash.
7/
We now know about the 1st PDB that was tossed.
Nunes and company didn't even know about that.
Nunes said they were briefed and told basically what was in the PDB, but then it changed.
8/
The question is why did it change?
Did Obama make the call alone or did someone tell him to do it?
But why would they rip our country apart like this?
Yes, they hated him.
Yes, they are sore losers.
But it never made sense.
That's why I go back to her server.
9/
Whatever was on there, they were desperate to keep quiet.
They hammered devices, bleach bit computers.
And yet, someone made a copy and put it on thumb drives.
Which were never looked at.
Until now.
10/
Is the core of the case HRC server?
A tell. Solomon said the conspiracy case was opened and covers events from the server to MAL.
What was on that server?
Is that what freaked Dan out?
Who knows?
Time will tell.

This morning, @glennbeck did a fascinating breakdown on @POTUS Old School power moves.
He began with what he did with Powell yesterday and compared it to what he did with Little Rocket Man.
The visuals are similar.
Then, he moved onto what he has done to the Oval Office
1/
Glenn visited recently and Trump took him on a tour.
Glenn was uncomfortable with all the gold because we don't have palaces in America.
Trump is using 24k gold leaf, which he is paying for, to make the Oval more opulent.
And then Trump told him why he is doing it.
2/
He said the world leaders he brings to the Oval all have palaces of some sort.
He wants them to understand that America is the strongest, most powerful nation on Earth.
He is projecting power to them in every language they can understand.
Visual, verbal and actions.
3/
When I read @MZHemingway piece yesterday about the CIA analysts being overruled by Brennan, it reminded me of something.
In Oct 2019, just after we learned that Durham's inv had turned criminal.
Marg Brennan interviewed Brennan, McCabe, McGloughlin and Morell to discuss it.
The entire panel discussion was them spinning what they did during the investigation. Lie after lie after lie.
Morell was asked what he thought about Durham questioning CIA analysts. He was pretty upset about it.
He has no business talking to those analysts and questioning them
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Durham folded without doing anything significant.
Fun fact for the day.
Did you know that GenZ was predicted to be the most Conservative Generation since the Greatest Generation in 2017?
Their early voting trends are proving that out.
And did you know that more babies were born in 2007 than at the height of the Baby Boom?
There was a mini boom that happened from 2005-2008 b4 the financial collapse.
And guess what?
The kids born in 2007 haven't been able to vote yet.
Let's talk about the Midterms.
They are 474 days away.
There will be 100s of news cycles that bubble up between now and then that could have an effect on the Midterms.
We are dealing with Trump who has a long history of changing the news cycle.
Lets break it down. 🧵
To break it down, I went through a brainstorm process of
Known Knowns
Known Unknowns
And
Possible Unknown Unknowns.
Grab your favorite beverage, check out my list, and let me know what I may have missed.
Known/Known #1
Trump has a war chest that sits at $1.5 Billion and we are almost a year and a half out from the election to help keep the Majority in the House.
Known/Known #2
House GOP is raising significantly more $ than the Dems. Last Q, Johnson raised the most.
As I listen to the Dem arguments against the bill which are mostly lies, like Sen Whitehouse saying the debt limit in the bill is to cover the upcoming 'debt' in the bill, I wonder a few things.
1. Do people remember the Dems lied about the TCJA in 2017 and 2018?
They said then that only wealthy people would receive a tax cut.
They continued to say that even after the tax rebate checks went out to regular people.
2. Do people remember when the Dems passed the IRA and said the economy was great for 3 years, even though people had to deal with crushing inflation?
They kept showing us charts from 'experts' that showed how great the economy was and ignored reality.
Looking at everything this morning.
I had a thought.
With everything that we have experienced in the past Trump years with the IC
Was it a coincidence that Goldberg was added to that chat?
Bear with me.
1/
The strike on the Houthis was 10 days before the heads of the IC went to Congress to testify to threats to the Homeland.
I went back and checked what was going on in Trump world right before the strikes.
2/
The strikes were on March 15th.
On March 14th, Trump went to DOJ and made his speech.
AND
Tulsi announced a plan to target IC leakers
I can't imagine either of those moves made the Deep State happy.
