The @USAO_SDFL "is recruiting prosecutors and restructuring its chain of command in preparation for a grand jury investigation expected to target former Justice Department officials and others involved in cases against President Donald Trump." 1/n
"The exact scope of the grand jury effort—which one of the individuals described as “special counsel oversight”—remains unclear."
"An email to Strauss’ currently listed work account bounced back, suggesting he’s switched jobs."

Dear God, making moves based on posts from Poso is a recipe for disaster. I hope this part is a cover/false story.

"That chief of staff, Jim Poland, is an FBI agent on detail, who’s overseeing the office’s “non-litigation and administrative functions,”"

Seems like folks are having a difficult time keeping the info about these grand juries and the office restructuring confidential.

"MSNBC reported Thursday that Reding Quiñones’ office is also readying grand jury subpoenas for an investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan related to the 2017 intelligence assessment about Russian election interference."
"The Department of Justice is preparing to issue a series of grand jury subpoenas as part of a South Florida-based investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan and the probes by the CIA and FBI into Russian interference in the 2016 election, MSNBC has learned.
The investigation is being supervised by the U.S. attorney in South Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, in consultation with Justice Department senior staff in Washington"

"...based on a criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard."💥

The recent referral from Congress is... weak sauce.
The one from Gabbard and the one from Ratcliffe are autentica salsa san marzano. 🧑🍳
Yeah so… it turns out that firing @GenFlynn was the right move.
A lot of mental gymnastics and a peppering of fantasy is needed in order to to see it any other way.
Many of us, including myself, have done these mental gymnastics and had fantastic understandings of and theories about Flynn in the years since. It’s been necessary to have them in order to explain away his bizarre appearances on various shows, his concerning associations with low integrity individuals, his foreign contacts, his nonsensical postings, and his absence from Trump’s orbit or admin.
Trump told Comey, according to the memos, that he had to do it. That Flynn mislead VP Pence and he couldn’t have that. Makes sense.
McCabe also mislead VP Pence regarding the Flynn-Kislyak calls, but that’s another story.
Jollah traveled to Sierre Leone in 2025 and attempted to join ISIL. There he connected with an ISIL facilitator and other individuals who were joining the group, but he eventually decided he wasn't ready to join.
He gave the facilitator a few hundred dollars and returned to the U.S.
Just before returning to the U.S., he came into contact with Abu Saad Sudani, a member of ISIL who was planning an attack in the U.S.
Jollah sent money to Sudani to support ISIL.
In March 2016, Sudani, who was actively plotting an attack in the U.S., put Jollah in contact with an individual stateside. Sudani was hoping the two could carry out the attack.
🧵There have been a few interesting developments recently in the case of DOW Contractor Perez-Lugones, who stole classified intel, and WaPo's Hannah Natanson who published excerpts of that intel.
I'm going to detail them in this thread and in a new video.

For background, here is my previous thread on this case.
AG Pam Bondi has empowered the US Attorney for Eastern Missouri, Thomas Albus, as a Special Prosecutor for DOJ under 28 USC 515 and directed him to conduct voter fraud probes in all 94 US Districts.
His first overt move was to convince a magistrate judge in Fulton County to authorize a search warrant for their 2020 election records. The FBI executed that search warrant last week under the supervision of FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Why would the DNI be there? Well, according to the WSJ, she's been given a task: investigate foreign interference in recent elections—including 2020.
This means that components of both the DOJ and the ODNI are working on election fraud and foreign interference inquiries right now. Interesting!
🧵As we expected, or at least hoped for, Don Lemon and several others have been indicted for conspiring to and engaging in a disruption of a church service in St Paul, MN, back on January 18.
