I’ve now read the new Indictment twice. It is criminalizing speech, thought, legal (right or wrong) positions, and disinformation. It also is shockingly manipulative of statutes and theories which require enormous legal wrangling. Further, it ignores advice of counsel defenses and mens rea requirements. But the most glaring thing is what’s not in the indictment—the charges of treason, sedition, or any other serious, fact based, count outlining genuinely criminal behavior.

I’ve gone through the redacted affidavit a couple of times now. Including Attachments. I’m not impressed. There are so many concerning issues it is hard to know where to start. I’ll try.

SEE IT: DOJ's Redacted Affidavit for FBI's Trump Raid - Todd Starnes toddstarnes.com/politics/see-i… 1–it does not appear to include any exculpatory evidence or mitigating facts.

They are including the hundreds of “misdemeanor trespassers” charged from Jan 6 in their definition of “increased domestic terrorism.” They are not counting the (relatively few) BLM/Antifa riot prosecutions.

This is the declassified Rice “Top Secret” email from her official email to presumably her personal email. This is not just a CYA but a CEA “cover everyone’s a**” attempt. This shows Obama and Biden were calling shots against Flynn and Comey was providing the ammunition. Comey states they have no indication that Flynn has passed classified docs to Kislyak. So no basis to even go after him. He reveals that the only thing unusual is the number of times Flynn and Kislyak spoke. This is DAYS before Trump is in WH and Flynn is acting NSA.

Ok. So a few thoughts on what Romney’s vote was all about in a small thread:

Impeachment is entirely a factual and legal issue. Requiring intense marshaling of inculpatory and exculpatory evidence and then a careful and thoughtful analysis of the law through those facts. 1/x The junior Senator from Utah, Senator Romney has done neither. He does not articulate the evidence—the witnesses, the emails, the transcripts or other documents which prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the President committed a crime as contemplated by the Constitution. 2/x
