Hey @SamAntar, got two items for you that are right up your alley.
This 1st one is by law prof @DrJohnEastman, explaining the 2002 post-Enron changes to the RICO statute 18 USC §1512(c):
"Post-Enron Statute Could Be Used to Round Up Lawfare Conspirators"

OK @SamAntar, now that you've digested the importance of document retention against 20 years in the pen, Anthony Fauci's senior advisor David Morens was just indicted under those statutes: Wait until you see the documentation!💥

@JeffClarkUS @Phase2Deport: Here are several good articles on President Eisenhower's "Operation Wetback" plus the original 1951 NYTimes series that gave Ike the original idea.
1/🧵
@JeffClarkUS @Phase2Deport, from August 25, 1993:
Clinton Promise to Curb Illegal Immigration Recalls Eisenhower's Border Crackdowns
Operation Wetback's methods were effective, but might not pass court challenge today

@JeffClarkUS @Phase2Deport @JeffClarkUS @Phase2Deport, from July 6, 2006:
How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico
George W. Bush isn't the first Republican president to face a full-blown immigration crisis on the US-Mexican border
@Hebro_Steele, I looked at the video full screen 5-6 times, and to be honest in the first few seconds Iryna did not look to be badly injured (let alone fatally wounded).
Perhaps —and I emphasize Perhaps —that is why nobody intervened?
@Hebro_Steele, I ride the @MARTAtransit subway almost every day, and this is not like someone whipping out their sidearm in an argument (which I’ve seen):
It looks like the bystanders were somewhat stunned, not realizing how badly Iryna was injured.
@DataRepublican, this corruption of officials over illegal immigration has been going on since WWII, earlier. Short🧵with history:

@DataRepublican, this is the original 1951 NYT article Eisenhower read that was the spark for Operation Wetback:
SOUTHWEST WINKS AT 'WETBACK' JOBS; Ethics Cast Aside as Growers Accept Peonage Idea and Bridle at Interference (1951)
@data_republican, our relationship with Israel today is transactional: Our war-losing DoD is wasteful and misdirected; while Israel has given us many Tens of Billions of $$$ worth of R&D on their F-35I Adir variant of the disastrous $1.7T F-35 Lightning II program. (1/🧵)
@data_republican @frederikdeboer @DataRepublican @data_republican, we provide about $3B in aid to Israel: They buy our weapons systems (F-35A Lightning II, Patriot, etc…), refine and battle-test them (like Iron Dome), and give us back the R&D. (2/🧵)

@data_republican @frederikdeboer @DataRepublican @davidpgoldman @DataRepublican, as I was explaining to your Mom above, our relationship with Israel has also been transactional for decades.
Let @DavidPGoldman, @SteveBryen, Ed @ELuttwak & @Grok explain how 1982 Beqaa Valley Turkey Shoot benefited us for decades:
