Four people at Mar-a-Lago with Trump last weekend have now tested positive for coronavirus: Bolsonaro's lawyer Karina Kufa, his aide Fabio Wajngarten, Miami mayor Francis Suarez, and an unnamed Republican donor. Probably more.
Wow. So Trump declassified some Russia documents on January 19, 2021, then took the binder home without waiting for FBI redactions. Grassley demanded to see them in October, not realizing Trump had them. Somehow Russia got them and people started disappearing. The binder is still…
Finally finished the
#MuellerReport
. Main takeaways:
1. Trump most likely would not be president without the help of Russia.
2. Trump definitely obstructed justice with "corrupt intent."
3. Russia hacked our voting technology, including administrators' computers.
Jim Acosta asked the key question: "What would have happened if we had started social distancing in January? Would there have been fewer deaths?"
No one will answer except Fauci, who says, "Probably yes."
I'm reading the 665-page Senate Intelligence report now and am left with the feeling that Putin ran Trump's campaign from Russia in 2016.
The Trump campaign supplied the GRU the data they needed for microtargeting the hack-and-leaks.
Facebook is allowing fake truck convoy pages to proliferate just like they did with the Russian "Trump" pages in 2016. Michael Flynn pointed people to one of these pages. THREAD
Michael Flynn said Ukraine is a "fascist state," Americans are "the enemy," and Russians "aren't losing." I, for one, am pretty sick of this retired Lt. General calling me "the enemy" and plotting war strategies against me. 😡😡
Mueller's last line (p. 180): "The protection of the criminal justice system from corrupt acts by any person—including the President—accords with the fundamental principle of our government that '[n]o [person] in this country is so high that he is above the law.'”
Enrique Tarrio said that, if he had cooperated, "I would assume they would have been able to charge the president with seditious conspiracy." Wow.
He said he was texting with someone who was passing messages along about J6--through 2 other people--to President Trump. 1/
Lin Wood released a pretty damning phone recording with Patrick Byrne. Byrne thinks Sidney Powell stole around $30 million from Americans donating to the audit. He also said Powell tried "to bed" him.
They all hate each other now.
Whoa. Minnesota governor says white supremacists and drug cartels are involved in destabilization. It's "a pretty sophisticated attempt to cause problems."
Dr. Fauci confirms that around 20% of
#coronavirus
patients require hospitalization. That's the crux of the problem. Our hospitals don't have this capacity.
I finally get it. General Flynn betrayed his country back in 2014. As head of the DIA, he was supposed to warn Obama that Russia was about to invade Ukraine. Instead, Flynn was fired right after the invasion.
Then he flew to Russia to meet Putin.
Robert Mueller believes it is the duty of Congress to impeach and/or prosecute Donald Trump for obstruction of justice with "corrupt intent." (159-182)
6. Trump will throw anyone under the bus. He demands criminal "loyalty" but distances himself from criminal acts so someone else will take the fall.
7. The
@Nytimes
,
@Wapo
etc. should be commended for their stellar reporting, confirmed by the Mueller interviews.
8. Trump's only legal defense is that the president cannot be held accountable for crimes. Mueller lays out why this position is without merit.
9. Bill Barr lied about the report's conclusions... and finally...
4. Trump's staff turned on him when called before Mueller.
5. Most of Trump's staff won't do what he asks. They ignore him or lie and say they'll do it.... then hope he forgets.
Mike Flynn says he's holding his "election fraud" rallies in big churches because civic centers "won't let him in." I think that violates IRS regulations.
I'm so glad I watched this. Four DC National Guardsmen, under oath, say that Charles Flynn and Gen. Piatt lied about what happened on January 6. Flynn's cover-up, of course, doesn't make Trump's do-nothing day any less criminal. 1/
@sandibachom
I'm disappointed (no, enraged) with law enforcement's inability to crack down on white supremacist domestic terrorism in this country.
It's like they don't believe it's real.
Captain Timothy Nick testified that Gen. Charles Flynn told SecArmy McCarthy to "deny the command" to allow the D.C. National Guard to come to the aid of the Capitol Police. 🔥 Boom. 🔥 3/
"Donald Trump, who is not the president, is using a minority of Republicans to block aid to Ukraine, to undermine the actual president’s foreign policy, and to weaken American power and credibility."
Trump took a binder full of intelligence on Russian election interference, which then "disappeared." After that, Russians providing intelligence to the U.S. also started to disappear. via

Every member of Congress needs to read this article to understand how the world will change if Putin wins in Ukraine. Fiona Hill is brilliant.

I found Michael Flynn on Jan 6th.
He's not where Patrick Byrne said he was in his book. Byrne claimed Flynn came and left with him, early, after complaining about how terrible the rally. Byrne says they went straight to their hotel. THREAD
Why is Rep. Barry Loudermilk releasing hundreds of hours of nearly blank tape showing only doors, entrances, exits, and security procedures inside the Capitol?
So, Putin gets Crimea, Flynn gets a paycheck from Putin and then heads home from Moscow to work for Trump. Or as Clapper said, "He would latch on to any Republican candidate, and then met Trump."
Now I really want to know who is funding the election audits. Foreign donations?
I don't know how long Simona Mangiante has been working with Russian intelligence, but she's also a regular at Mar-a-Lago with all those classified documents.
Some of this isn't new, but now we have four officers saying the same thing: Charles Flynn lied under oath about the events of J6. I appreciate these officers' insistence in trying to correct the record. 7/
I don't think Americans realize the crisis the whole world will be in if Russia takes over Ukraine. Every world leader is trying to talk sense into Putin, but he's not having it.
President Biden is working nonstop. It's scary.
The three men Rudy Giuliani worked with in Ukraine have been charged with treason: "current MP Oleksandr Dubinsky, former lawmaker Andriy Derkach and ex-prosecutor Kostyantyn Kulyk." They were being paid by the Russian GRU.
But because there is all this fake activity on Facebook, including in the comments, it gives the illusion that everyone is super excited about the trucker convoys and hundreds of thousands are ready to go. It's called "manufacturing consent," and it works. END
It appears that Hunter's laptop materials were sent to Steve Bannon (SB) and Rudy Giuliani (RG) BEFORE they even appeared at the laptop repair shop.
Here's an exchange between Hunter Biden's attorney and Garrett Ziegeler, who worked for Trump. (Biden atty in grey.) 👇 1/
Tarrio said he didn't want to hurt Trump's chances to win the election by cooperating. I'm sure Tarrio thinks he'll be pardoned if Trump wins.
Tarrio says his point on contact was NOT Roger Stone, but someone he met on the street on July 4 who is not a public figure. 2/
Erik Prince must be the most bungling mercenary ever, but he's turning airplanes and helicopters into weapons delivery systems all over the world.... and selling them to anyone. He should be stopped. END.
People forget that 14 people were arrested for the Whitmer kidnapping plot. Two pleaded guilty. Two were found innocent. A mistrial for another two means they can be tried again. Eight to go.
When Michael Flynn says "the Ukraine," I doubt he's making a mistake. That's what it was called when it was a Soviet Republic, which Putin wants it to be again. 🇺🇦
Kyle Serphin said, "We are looking at low-intensity conflicts, scattered around this country in less than eighteen months." Um, the
@FBI
might want to ask him what he knows about that.
Interesting conversation. END. 8/
This raises so many questions:
1. Why did Flynn and Piatt lie about J6?
2. Why did the DoD IG publish their cover-up?
3. There's a serious conflict-of-interest with Flynn. Did that impact his decision? Can we see comms with his brother, who was planning for martial law that…
At this meeting, new DeSantis-appointed trustee Christopher Rufo called students "druggies" and asked if faculty agreed there were "significant problems" at New College. One faculty member shouted, "You are the problem."
Everyone in the room cheered.
Great work,
@RonDeSantisFL
Interesting that Twitter Spaces is the go-to place for J6ers to strategize.
Byrne showed up and offered Tarrio $100,000, calling the insurrectionists "heroes."
Marjorie showed up. 3/
I'm really surprised that all these people are allowed to hang out and strategize about their legal defenses, even from prison. Byrne pushed Tarrio to say the election was rigged in court. 6/
Look at Michael Flynn's statement about the invasion of Crimea. He says, Putin "will not allow the Russian federation to fritter away while he's in charge"... and he makes a weird joke about Georgia.
Here's a picture of the "lab" in Montana where Cyber Ninjas sent Arizona's voter data. I'm not kidding. It's Ben Cotton's cabin, hidden behind the trees.
OMG. George Papadopoulos's wife is now working for Russian intelligence (Andrei Derkach). 9:00
@FBIWFO
. She's bringing back "documents." 🤦♀️
She was also part of making an anti-Ukrainian documentary with some Russian director.
They never stop. Interview with Tara Reade. 1/ 👇…
It's painful to hear that the DC National Guard could have been there 3 hours earlier. It must have been even more painful for the Guard to feel like their hands were tied that day. General Walker almost went without permission, but his second in command advised him not to. And…
Trump sat with this group for his Christmas dinner. He often reads what looks like polling data at dinner. Note: the photo was taken by a Russian model. 1/
It was Charles Flynn and Walter Piatt's recommendation that, according to Capt. Nick, kept the SecArmy and SecDef Miller from doing anything that day. McCarthy just disappeared. 4/
Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk are trying to overthrow the government of Brazil. Take note because it could happen here, too. The Bolsonaros simply will not accept that they lost the election.
Judge Cannon is unsealing witness names, which could subject them to harassment and intimidation from Trump's followers. It's a surprising move for a judge.
Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed arguments from Jack Smith and granted the requests of Trump's legal team to unseal certain portions of the documents they are given in discovery.
Cannon has been accused of issuing decisions favorable to Trump, who appointed her. In today's filing,…
I'm not suggesting anything nefarious, but I would look for people in the Capitol insurrection crowd who are similarly dressed. It seems like an odd way to dress for a Trump rally... but maybe he was cold.
Bingo. GiveSendGo inadvertently revealed the passport photos and other info of all its donors. A security researcher found it, so analysts can now figure out what countries donations came for the trucker convoys.
I found Flynn because of Parler videos. Mike Flynn Jr. took this footage from the "March to Save America" rally. It gives you a sense of his position.

Richard Grenell (of the trump administration) met with the president of Guatemala yesterday.
Today, Inauguration Day for the president-elect, the congress of Guatemala is refusing to allow the transfer of power.
Grenell is not acting alone.
Asked why he didn't ask Putin hard questions, like about Navalny or Putin's assassinations, Carlson replied, "Every leader kills people. Sorry."
What an ass.
Dems seem to view this hearing as an attack on the J6 Committee, but I think they should lean into this. Trump, after all, was the Commander-in-Chief, and ultimately responsible for everything that happened that day. 6/
Byrne said he would give Harrison Floyd $25,000 AFTER Floyd said "we're going to make it really, really bad for people down in Georgia" and "fight the devil."
Floyd is testifying in Georgia and asked Tarrio for advice. Tarrio called Fani Willis "evil" and "disgusting." 5/
This judge is creeping me out. He says "most women" have "one or more" babies because this is "essential to perpetuating human life."
It sounds so "Handmaid's Tale."
The main point of each officer's testimony is that the DoD Inspector General's report about J6 is bunk. I have long said this. It needs a disclaimer on it. 2/
The anti-abortion movement has never been about the babies. It's all about keeping women home because some men think we're taking "their" jobs.
They think the 1950s were better.
Reporter: "What if governors don't obey you?"
Trump: "They'll listen. They need the federal government... They'll need maybe equipment that we have. We have a tremendous stockpile."
So Trump admits to purloining medical equipment and making states "obey" him to get it. Again.
