@DNIGabbard and @FBIDirectorKash released more declassified info on Russiagate and the Intelligence Community's efforts to strangle the Clinton Foundation probe in its crib.
Here are 3 major docs you should know about.
🧵1/10
First, then-National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers sent a Dec. 2016 email to then-DNI James Clapper on the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russia.
Rogers suggested his team had neither "sufficient access" nor "sufficient time" to prepare the document.
🧵2/10
Crucially, Rogers added, “I know that you agree that this is something we need to be 100% comfortable with before we present it to the President—we have one chance to get this right, and it is critical that we do so.”👀
🧵3/10
Instead, Clapper rushed it "in the highest tradition of 'that's OUR story, and we're stickin' to it.'"
He said "more time is not negotiable," likely b/c the conclusion that Russia favored Trump was already out😲
"We may have to compromise on our 'normal' modalities."
🧵4/10
Speaking of leaks, @JustTheNews published a memo stating then-House Intel Committee Chair Adam Schiff said his team "would leak classified information ... to indict President TRUMP."
When someone said this would be illegal, he was assured they would not be caught.😲
🧵5/10
Schiff, now a U.S. senator, attacked @Kash_Patel for releasing the memo, calling it a "smear."
He said the "baseless smears" trace back to a disgruntled former staffer who was fired for cause.
If that's true, I'd like to hear more. Forgive me if I don't trust Schiff...
🧵6/10
The final doc is a timeline.
When @peterschweizer published his important book "Clinton Cash," intel agents wanted to probe whether Hillary Clinton's foundation engaged in pay-to-play schemes.
A March meeting where it became known that Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates directed the U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Arkansas to “shut it down.”😲
🧵8/10
We clearly don't know everything, and I welcome clarifications & denials from Yates, Schiff, & others.
But seriously, let's get to the bottom of this. Russiagate represented an egregious political weaponization of intelligence and the American public deserves answers.
🧵9/10
“The leading figures in the Russia Hoax have spent years deceiving the American public by presenting their manufactured and politicized assessments as credible intelligence,” @TulsiGabbard said.
The Family Research Council @FRCdc keeps a tally, and the 415 churches that got attacked last year didn't even represent the worst year for churches in America😲
Here's more from the report.
🧵1/10
As @CatholicVote has recorded, attacks on churches and pro-life pregnancy centers skyrocketed after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
The record high, according to FRC's data, was 2023 with 485 attacks on churches.
🧵2/10
The report counted acts of vandalism, arson attempts, gun-related threats, and bomb threats.
In August, four churches in southern Ohio caught fire, and authorities suspected one person may have set all four fires.🔥
After the Biden administration refused to release the data on how much taxpayers foot the bill for unions, the OPM under President Trump has finally released its report on "taxpayer-funded union time," and it's a doozy.
🧵1/10
OPM gave me the report, and the numbers are staggering:
1⃣Federal employees spent 3.2 million hours working for a union.
2⃣They billed the taxpayer $207 million for this work.
3⃣This represented about 11% of their work hours.
🧵2/10
What is "taxpayer-funded union time?"
Bureaucrats get paid by the taxpayer for the work they do for the union, as opposed to the work they are hired by the American people to do.
AFGE, the largest federal employee union, has filed at least 9 lawsuits against Trump.
President Trump has fundamentally revamped immigration enforcement after four years of the open-borders Biden regime. But at least one Biden political appointee remains in a position of authority at DHS😲
🧵1/11
Meet Jeff Rezmovic, deputy ass't commissioner at CBP's Board of Trade.
Sources say he was close to Mayorkas, Biden's DHS secretary whom the House impeached.
Biden named Rezmovic to be Chief Financial Officer for all of DHS.
"Jeff Rezmovic's history is extraordinarily political for a career employee in DHS," @KenCuccinelli told me. "He would not have been moved to and through the ... positions of the last four years if he wasn't doing the political work of Biden/Mayorkas."
Like USAID, NED once advanced US interests abroad, but has become a weapon to enforce woke ideology. In recent years, NED board members compared Trump to Hitler and NED funded the Global Disinformation Index, which targeted conservative news outlets.
🧵2/7
“Have we learned nothing from the exposure of USAID over the past six months?” Crane asked me. “The National Endowment for Democracy is a government-backed NGO that has supported censorship programs, regime change politics, and fueled anti-American agendas abroad.”
Holder was notorious for weaponizing DOJ under Obama: pushing CRT, dropping the Black Panthers election intimidation case, withholding docs from Congress.
Holder more or less mainstreamed the idea that voter ID laws are discriminatory, by suing Texas over a voter ID law. The DOJ ultimately settled the case, admitting no "discriminatory effect or intent."
🧵2/8
Holder claimed that policies with "the appearance of being race-neutral" nonetheless "disproportionately disenfranchise African-Americans, Hispanics, other communities of color and vulnerable populations such as the elderly.”
