1.) On October 09, 2018, @HillaryClinton was interviewed in Oxford England by @camanpour & said something that caught my attention. 'Swift Boating'

2.) If you don't know the definition of 'Swift Boating' in the political world, let me lay that out for you very clearly.
The term swiftboating is a pejorative American neologism used to describe an UNFAIR or UNTRUE Political Attack.

3.)Interesting to note that President Bill Clinton’s Senior Advisor for Policy & Communications Joel Johnson at @gloverparkgroup was emailing @jmpalmieri & @johnpodesta about the @realDonaldTrump 'Swift Boat' project in Feb of 2016

When I found the exposed 154 million US voter database in June 2016, I was able to trace the data to a company named L2 Political.
L2 then traced the leak to a client of theirs. The client claimed hackers had taken down their firewall which then publicly exposed the database.
L2 then traced the leak to a client of theirs. The client claimed hackers had taken down their firewall which then publicly exposed the database.
L2's client did not suggest that *I* was the hacker(s) who had removed their firewall and exposed the database.
If true, this means there is confirmation, from the holder of the data, that a nationwide US voter registry _was_indeed_hacked_ months prior to the 2016 election.

I can't believe I didn't recall this sooner. Foreign hacking of the US election system was not much of a topic when I originally reported this 154 million voter record leak and the detail of actual confirmation of a US nationwide vote hack became lost in the ether.
1) Columbus Day 2018 is half time at the 2018 Mid-Term Bowl. The score is GOP 17 and Democrats 16. Let’s recap the first half.

2) Going into the game the Democrats were riding their #BlueWave of enthusiasm. They were so confident America was tired of all the lies and sordid behavior of Coach Trump that the Democrats could win the game easily.
3) They laughed at their good fortune every time a GOP player would pledge to work closely with their coach; such easy pickings.

Kudos to @TeaPainUSA, who helped spot the connection btwn the Alfa🇷🇺Bank & Trump servers. “The Trump domain vanished from the Web on 9/23, 2 days after @nytimes presented its data to BGR, Alfa Bank’s lobbyists in DC, but before it called Trump or Cendyn.”

In June 2018, @TeaPainUSA published this follow-up analysis of the AlfaBank🇷🇺Trump servers. The timing of their communication is consistent w/“database replication,” such as sharing a VERY LARGE voter file used for microtargeting.🤨

My thoughts on this whole Kavanaugh debacle.
Brett Kavanaugh does not belong on the Supreme Court. He’s a partisan hack in a way no SC Justice has ever been. Not only did he involve himself in the Vince Foster conspiracy bs during the Clinton years but he literally represented

🔥@GOP operative Peter Smith raised >$100,000 to pay #Russian🇷🇺hackers to find Clinton’s emails. 10 days after telling his story to the @WSJ, he committed suicide, yet a friend spoke w/him about a new project hours before his death & says he was “excited.”

That anyone ever fell for that ridiculous lie is beyond disgraceful.
Even if Clinton were guilty of the types of corruption they claimed she was she would still not be comparable in this way to Donald Trump.
Not even close.
But she's clearly not.

@mbyrnes37 @emptywheel Brian Benczkowski was appointed Head of the DoJ Criminal division by R' votes only. He would replace Rosenstine if Trump fired him.
Benczkowski could fire Mueller and end all the work Mueller's people were doing. A Constitutional Crisis yes.
States AGs are not under the DoJ.

2. WaPo: "Prosecutors have sought to determine what Trump or those close to him knew about Flynn’s calls with the Russian ambassador, but McFarland does not appear to be a CRITICAL witness in that regard."
That may be because the FBI already knows the answer.

Rosenstein made his remarks about the #25thAmendment & secretly recording Trump in meetings & conversations w/other DOJ & FBI officials. Several people (briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by FBI officials, including McCabe) described the episodes.🤨
Rosenstein reportedly told McCabe that he might be able to persuade Jeff Sessions & John Kelly to mount an effort to invoke the #25thAmendment.
All of these incidents allegedly occurred around the time that @Comey was fired. Rosenstein was very distressed & felt he was used.🤔

Both parties agreed NOT to file *any* documents relating to sentencing until Nov 14 at the earliest. This suggests that Mueller is waiting until AFTER the midterms before unloading on Team🇷🇺Traitor, although don't be surprised another plea deal (Cohen?) is announced before.🤔
Flynn's impending sentence means Mueller is ready to release MORE details about the nature of Flynn's cooperation, which combined with Manafort's, is utterly DAMNING for Team🇷🇺Traitor. 3/

1) First the obvious. Dr. Christine Ford has 3rd party documentation dating from 2012. It doesn’t name Kavanaugh, but it names the circumstances. She’s got the receipts, baby!
2) Second, she has already taken a polygraph test. Has #Kavanaugh taken a polygraph test? No. And considering the number of times he has already been found to lie under oath, he probably should have!

Manafort's plea deal requires him to cooperate "in any and ALL matters" deemed relevant by the Government. Of course, Mueller certainly would deem election-related crimes by @realDonaldTrump, his spawn, and Kush "relevant."🔥

Interesting discrepancies: According to the Russian media, Rick Perry, U.S. Energy Secretary, has ALREADY ARRIVED to Moscow today, on 9/11, and is visiting till Sept 13 when he meets his counterpart, Alexander Novak. Dugin's pub Tsargrad announced these dates ahead of time. ⬇️
2. American media claims only the part of the visit starting on Thursday, Sept 13. The visit, as the Russian media describes it, is covered "frugally." Indeed. Where is Mr. Perry now? It is a long flight, of course. reuters.com/article/us-rus…
3. They are going to talk about sanctions, note the Russian sources. Let's refresh some recent history--still not covered by the press (just like Mr. Perry's visit.)
