If Senate Republicans don't confirm Matt Gaetz as attorney general & Kash Patel as FBI director, President Trump should sign an executive order to dissolve the FBI by rescinding the July 26, 1908 order that the FBI calls its founding document. Image The FBI cannot be reformed. We need better, more effective federal law enforcement and counterintelligence than the FBI provides - and one free of the taint of decades of abuses. Only Gaetz & Patel can do that. Here's how the process might look.

Rep. Higgins: “Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6?”

FBI Director Wray: “I have to be very careful about what I say.”

He did not say “no.”

Wray then re-worded the question and denied it. After Wray does not answer, @RepClayHiggins said, “It should be a ‘no.’ Can you not tell the American people, ‘No, we did not have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6?’”

One year has past since Higgins last put the simple “yes” or “no” question to FBI Director Wray.

“Still don’t have a definitive answer from you,” Higgins says. “We can’t get a straight answer.”

🧵In 2005, the bipartisan Commission on Election Reform, co-chaired by Jimmy Carter and James A. Baker III, expressed concerns about electronic voting systems.

Since then, the Carter Center & Baker Institute scrubbed their websites of the report. 👉
web.archive.org/web/2005092212… 2) Carter-Baker report, pp. 25-27: Voting machines lack transparency.

“Voting machines must … be transparent. They must allow for recounts and for audits, and thereby giver voters confidence in the accuracy of the vote tallies.”

“The accessibility and accuracy of DREs [direct recording electronic machines], however, are offset by a lack of transparency, which has raised concerns about security and verifiability. In most of the DREs used in 2004, voters could not check that their ballot was recorded correctly. Some DREs had no capacity for an independent recount.”Image

🧵 Former top @USAID official testifies to Congress:

"our foreign aid budgets have grown so large that our federal agencies can no longer fulfill their management and oversight duties to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds. A powerful and politicized aid industrial complex lobbies Congress to achieve two self-serving goals – secure ever larger foreign aid budgets and stymie aid transparency and accountability." @HeritageImage 🧵Former top USAID official on how radicals in foreign aid sector aid America's enemies:

"Worse, the [foreign aid] sector has been taken over by a fringe group of radicals unrepresentative of America, who undercut the effectiveness of our aid programs, and damage the American brand overseas to the benefit of Communist China, Putin’s Russia, Iran and its proxies, and other global actors that mean to do us harm."

🧵Devastating scoop by @mirandadevine about the 229-page report by current and former @FBI personnel. These professionals confirm that the rot in the FBI is deep and terminal. I'm reading the entire report now. Here's the link to the full PDF. scribd.com/document/75316… The report's 10 key findings, submitted to Congress, reveal an FBI that's out of control and unreformable.

1. Local law enforcement officers do not trust the FBI.
2. No more actionable, substantive information sharing with FBI.
3. FBI National Academy graduates are troubled by the bias.
4. Crisis of confidence in FBI-led task forces.
5. The FBI is isolated and unresponsive to local law enforcement.
6. Local law enforcement officers feel disrespected by FBI special agents.
7. Today's tone-deaf FBI disregards the value of retired FBI special agents.
8. The new generation of sub-standard FBI special agents.
9. FBI management is too transitory and obsessed with self-promotion.
10. The FBI's cult of narcissism begins at the FBI Academy.Image

Biden Doesn’t Need Congress To Get ‘Urgent’ Aid To Ukraine, So Why Is He Blaming Republicans? thefederalist.com/2024/03/20/bid… Let's dissect this important article on 🇺🇦 by my colleagues @AnIllarionov and @morganwirthlin.

"Biden already has the authority to send roughly the same amount of aid he is demanding from Congress in the ’emergency’ supplemental bill."

What’s in the bill? Few proponents have even bothered to read the it. My colleagues have.

"The supplemental bill provides funds through three main channels: the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), Foreign Military Financing (FMF), and the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA)."

Te $13.8 billion for USAI until September 30, 2025, or 1-1/2 fiscal years.

FMF provides only $1.6 billion for Ukraine AND OTHER COUNTRIES, for 1-1/2 fiscal years.

PDA is capped at $7.8 billion GLOBALLY through September 30, not only for 🇺🇦, but for 🇮🇱, 🇹🇼, and anywhere else POTUS designates. (continued)

Massachusetts is a sanctuary state with a "right to shelter" law.

“The sense is that wealthier communities are not bearing any of the burden,” said Taunton Mayor Shaunna O’Connell, whose city has a median household income of about $89,800. “When you suddenly have 300 or 400 new people coming to your city, it puts a strain on services. . . . Communities like Newton or Wellesley could bear some of the obligation that we are under.”Image
