(Long Ass Thread)The past few days have been a rollercoaster. The @DevinNunes memo, McCabe forced out of the @FBI and @SpeakerRyan calling for a “cleanse” of the FBI. This is the beginning of a new Night of the Long Knives, although instead of executions it is political
assassination. Make no mistake(and I truly hope I am wrong about all this) this is the latest in a long string of actions by @realDonaldTrump and the @GOP to hold onto power, if they can control all three branches they have almost absolute power which is what they want.
.@realDonaldTrump from the beginning of and even since before his presidency has demonstrated a willingness to do anything to gain the adoration of people and gain power, he even called on an adversarial foreign power to help him get dirt on his political opponent and had his son
attend a meeting with a representative of said foreign power with the express intent to do just that, help install him as POTUS. And the evidence of this collaboration is quite evident, RU bots retweeting him over 500k times, same bots helping to push right wing conspiracies that
help him further secure power(Nunes memo and the corrupt @FBI narrative are two off the top of my head). He hired Tillerson, the man who helped broker a $500 billion oil deal with Russia, Putin himself attended the closing ceremony of that deal and awarded Tillerson the Order Of
Friendship: money.cnn.com/2016/12/11/inv…
He hired @jeffsessions, a man who has lied and forgotten about meetings with Russians repeatedly: cnn.com/2017/11/14/pol…
He hired Christopher Wray who, yet again, had Russian connections. He once represented a Russian company as their lawyer, which in and of itself is not particularly suspicious, but he deleted the entry out of his bio which tells me he’s got something to hide. He is now heading
the “corrupt” FBI as it’s director: newsweek.com/trump-fbi-wray…
He’s heaped praise on Putin, who has had multiple journalists and dissidents killed and is orchestrating much of the RU interference against the US(he’s also praised other authoritarian leaders but that’s another topic)
Since he got elected @realDonaldTrump has been attacking the FBI and intelligence agencies because they support the fact that RU interfered in our election at best. This is unprecedented. He’s accused the US agencies of lying and pushing a false narrative on the fact based RU
Interference yet he has done absolutely nothing to punish the actors responsible for said interference, the administration has declined any new sanctions despite having a list for the sanctions claiming the threat of sanctions is sufficient: reuters.com/article/us-usa…
It’s just one thing after another with @realDonaldTrump and it all adds up to a bad picture, at best he gives absolutely no fucks that Russia interferes with our elections, at worst he worked with them to win and in the far out there realm, is a Russian plant.
The .@GOP has been instrumental in Trumps plan. They have followed him to the ends of sanity and have supported him in discrediting the FBI, the @DevinNunes memo is just the latest evidence of that. They(along with RU bots) have been pushing #ReleaseThe Memo yet when they get
Their wish to release said cherry picked memo they block the @TheDemocrats rebuttal memo, they know facts will dismantle the entire memo. This memo is now being used to attack the FBI with @SpeakerRyan even calling for a “cleansing” of the @FBI: businessinsider.com/paul-ryan-want…
The lack of shame of the @GOP is completely astounding, see my thread about how the entire Nunes memo is fabricated in order for them to hold onto power and possibly escalates to the level of treason:
And another thread on why their outrage at the FBI is absolute bullshit:
This is all coming together into a scary picture, @realDonaldTrump and the @GOP are knowing working together to systematically destroy the credibility of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies and all the norms of our political system in order to hold onto their power and
The @GOP knows full well that there is quite a lot of evidence to support the fact that @realDonaldTrump worked with an adversarial foreign power to become president, and they are supporting his attacks and throwing their own in, this is a concerted effort on both, a treasonous
Effort to hold onto power. I only hope that this free fall can be stopped before further purges are started, this Nunes Memo will spawn more and soon the @GOP will be going after every agency they possibly can to remove any opposition, this is heading toward a bad bad place and
No one seems to be able to stop it or even willing. Checks and balances are all well and good but when one party holds every branch and purges all opposition they don’t mean a thing. How do you think Adolf Hitler rose to power? We are at a very dangerous point right now.
