I think Smith realizes this is like maps on google - they show lots of routes but it all ends up at the same destination so why not take the fastest route? Trump was going to bring it to SCOTUS eventually so Smith figures - why not now?
Can’t argue w/ that TBH

I remember reading about a talk by one of the masterminds of disinfo in USSR/Russia. He said once they get a successful destabilization effort going in a country it only takes on average about six years until the govt in that country collapses
Six years puts us back to 2016
@AnaCabrera
@MuellerSheWrote
This actually suggests Trump was directly involved in the planning - something a lot of us suspected but not a lot of physical evidence to prove… If Eastman is claiming client privilege - he is saying he was working directly with and for Trump
@djrothkopf
@MuellerSheWrote
Farther down thread the talk I saw was linked to… some thoughts:
1. it was 1984 and a lot of what he predicted didn’t happen THEN because USSR collapsed first
2. the process he describes was taught to KGB officers. Putin came up in this - it’s what he is doing to us, to west

I think it’s directed more at intelligence community and military
Putin keeps top military and IC brass relatively weak - maintains his own security and military apparatus to be a check over them
Oligarchs have (had) money but no real military or secret police ‘assets’

That’s not the measure they will go with / it will be admissible evidence sufficient (1) to get a conviction (2) that won’t be overturned upon appeal even if it goes to SCOTUS (it will)

You aren’t reading message right / he is NOT roasting the entire GOP, he’s very selectively roasting SOME of them (like Kemp) who he believes ‘wronged him’
The unspoken message to the rest is then ‘if you don’t back my efforts you will be next’… it’s completely Mob boss like
@OPCGhost
This is exactly right. If he pulled a nylon over his head and walked into a liquor store - robbed a few hundred bucks - he’d get 10 yrs easy. Rob a few hundred thou via tax dodge and ‘what’s the big deal’?
@MuellerSheWrote
I would go one further - I would put HUGE pressure on ppl like Lisa Murkowski to flip. Deal is simple - she go inde and agree to caucus w/ Dems. D’s agree to not run competition against her and give her great committee assignments and a monorail in every town in Alaska
It should be illegal to keep hidden knowledge of a felony in order to sell books.
Actually, isn’t it already illegal to keep hidden the knowledge of a felony?

The key will be a balance between ‘orderly retreat while killing as many RUS as possible’ and not letting RUS surround & destroy major groups of your own. In short exhaust more of their force strength than your own getting exhausted. If you have to give up ground do it…

It is such a classy interview - both Maddow’s questions and Warren’s answers.
I will say right now - she can have a bigger effect on future as Maj Ldr than she can as president. I sound nutz but look at McConnell vs Trump - who is doing the most long term damage? McConnell.

I think that while it suggests the rise of the Chechen in Putin’s ‘party’ it also suggests of Putin’s weakness that he needs Chechen to speak for him … he’s got no one else?

TBH - I think it’s obvious he was ‘misinformed’. Who is going to tell him after all the many billions spent to ‘modernize’?

2 What were they told?
3 What does he know now?

The thing ppl need to grok - this isn’t an ‘insurrection protest’ - it’s to sell ‘their movement’ as ‘mainstream’ … like the Nazis did (still do) … DON’T LET THEM!!!

Don’t normalize
Don’t counter protest - they might stage ‘antifa’ rallies - done fall for it
@MiamiHerald
From article... “The victims’ attorneys — Edwards, Scarola and Paul Cassell — have asked the Justice Department to throw out Epstein’s plea agreement and reopen the criminal investigation.”
Reopening the case and unsealing the agreement is the only just way forward. IMO.

And worse yet because now they ‘know’ they have to mark those assets valuations to ‘market’ - near zero. Be a significant ‘balance sheet’ event. These are huge banks and Trump’s loans relatively small in comparison but still hundreds of millions off balance sheet isn’t nothing

It is why these governors (TX FL GA) and WH were so stupid in trying to cover up and fudge numbers because at the end of the day THIS statistic was always going to be the one they couldn’t hide from - horror stories happening at local hospitals ppl all see.

It isn’t going to matter. If Fox thinks it’s going to ‘politically’ hurt the DA - in NYC - they don’t know NYC. Fox ‘attacking’ the DA probably increases his popularity w/ ppl there. If they want to hurt him wrt citizenry in Big Apple - say something nice about him. 😂

Doubt DeSantis in THIS case - his connection hasn’t been suggested in any credible reporting - but maybe Roger Stone (got pics of the three amigos) and from Roger who knows?

It also collapses their propagation pyramid. Their spread. I have been advocating this forever. I get the NAFO model of meme ridicule - that works for official accounts like Russian MFA but for garden variety trolls - don’t engage, BLOCK!
@PalmerReport
And frankly he should worry wrt GA tampering. You can make case Trump can ‘ask’ officials about results of an election he has on ballot (w/in reason - no coercion or bribery allowed) but Graham wasn’t on the ballot in GA - ANY pressure he puts on officials IS tampering IMO

There are also rumors they plan to cross border up by Sumy too. 10K maybe 20K up there, some armor.
That’s not much more than they had at Vuhledar, troops as green or greener and terrain tougher… harder to invade / easier to defend

@djrothkopf
I remember this - discussed above. The salient points to take away:
1. The things speaker predicted in 1984 never happened THEN because USSR collapsed first - that is not to say their methods don’t work
2. This is the how Putin was trained in KGB (same time) it’s how he thinks
@PalmerReport
It’s extremely fishy but it could also be true Bragg actually IS worried about bringing a case based on ‘valuations’ - too hard to pin directly on Trump (beyond reasonable doubt) and easy to claim sloppiness (to create said doubt)
Civil case has none of that
@Angry_Staffer
I will take the other side of that bet - not because he isn’t broke (he is) but lenders most likely know the assets are WAY underwater and if called would result in a negative balance sheet event for the lenders… they will fight that as hard as Trump will fight selling them IMO

@PalmerReport
That’s why the judge is ‘forcing’ DOJ to release ‘the memo’ … the actual smoking gun needs to be visible and real or media/public will ignore. My guess is AG Garland would love to be ‘forced’ to release it - then maybe hold a press conference - it’s ‘less political’ that way.
@TrentTelenko
So here is a dumb question - what stops Ukrainian forces from sneaking a significant commando presence - on foot if necessary - with reserve back ups for assistance to hit and run guerrilla style. Night googles at night run away - no chance those Russians follow them far off road

It’s not just because Pence won’t have power it’s that he’s seen Trump up close knows how he thinks and what he would try to do if he could do it w/o constraints

Pence has skin in the game too
@cm_harper

I will agree w/ you Pence decided to help put Trump away but my guess is motivation might be different… He would LOVE to run for POTUS but if that is out of reach (probably is) he ABSOLUTELY doesn’t want to see that vindictive bastard in power again…
