1) Sean Hannity is the darling of conservatives. He's a Trump-supporter who's helped expose the agenda of the leftist anti-Trump media.

He's a good guy but we need to ask a question:

Will he & his buds ever get around to looking at what @TheLastRefuge2 calls "The Big Ugly?"

2) "The Big Ugly" is the revelation that the FBI allowed private contractors to illegally access the #FISA702 database to build the #SteeleDossier which was used against President #Trump.

3) Sundance has caused us to look deeper into the inner workings of Fox News and the motives behind the stories they publish.

Today, @seanhannity demanded that Andrew Weissman, one of Robert Mueller's top investigator's be fired and investigated.

4) Let me ask you a question:

If you're a Trump supporter, how does this tweet make you feel?
What emotions does it evoke?

Does it make you feel good to know someone like Hannity has Trump's back?

5) Next question:

How likely do you think it is that Weissman will ACTUALLY be fired from Mueller's team?

6) You probably know that the chances of Weissman being canned are like the odds of being hit by a Kim Jong-Un 🚀

7) While Hannity's barking about Weissman might comfort you, at the end of the day, it has no impact at all on real-world events.

Hannity gets people's emotions stirred up, but there little hope that his prescribed course of action will happen.

8) Sean has been demanding all year that the Mueller investigation be shut down.
Mueller's team is compromised.
They're biased.
Bark! bark! bark!

9) Again, let's ask the question:

How do you feel when you read a tweet like this?

And what are the odds that Mueller's investigation will actually be shut down?

10) While Mueller's team has without question been shown to be biased, there is no way Trump would do something as foolish as firing a special counsel. The media would burn him in effigy.

Trump knows that. (I think Sean knows it, too.) It's why Trump doesn't fear Mueller.

11) So why does Hannity rant and rave about things that you and I know perfectly well are never going to happen?

Because, as he often reminds us, he's a commentator and not an investigative journalist.

(@Carpedonktum thinks he's a little more)

12) That's why he features investigative reporters like @SaraCarterDC and @jsolomonReports.

Hannity's job is more that of a cheerleader. He's there to keep the morale of the troops high.

Carter & Solomon are the ones responsible for the delivery of actual news.

13) So the batton is passed.

If "The Big Ugly" is going to be reported by anyone from a network, it will be done by people like @SaraCarterDC and @jsolomonReports

They broke the story of the #UraniumOneScandal after all.
circa.com/story/2017/10/…

14) But there's a problem.

My friends and I knew for several months prior to the #UraniumOne story going public that a big news story was going to break and it was only a matter of time. When the story broke, those who hinted to us confirmed this was what we'd been waiting for.

15) Now, think about that.

This means that the release of the #UraniumOne story was not a sudden event that just happened.

It was controlled.

The timing of the release and the network it appeared on was out of the hands of the reporters.

The media handlers called the shots

16) There are people in high places at the networks (even Fox) who have the final say about what stories will be reported and when they'll air.

And there are stories they will not allow to be reported. Even major stories that could potentially help the President.

17) "The Big Ugly" is one such story.

You can't say @SaraCarterDC and Fox are unaware of the story. @dbongino told the whole world on the @JesseBWatters show that the FBI allowed private contractors to access the #FISA702 database illegally.

18) What's concerning is how Carter reacted to the news.

She saw breadcrumbs leading toward corruption & criminal activity in the DOJ & FBI and a scheme to interfere in a Presidential election but claims the Russians hoodwinked the Clinton campaign & they're the real culprits.

19) Carter knows. And if she knows, Hannity knows.

Fox is all too aware of the crimes perpetrated by the highest people in the FBI & DOJ, but the media handlers at the top aren't going to let the story air.

It would be too inconvenient and too damaging to certain people.

20) That's why Sundance calls it "The Big Ugly."

More info on the "Trump Operation" and the "Big Ugly" can be found on Sundance's website.

Here's a link to the most recent article:

21 ) For those were hoping that Hannity would report on the weaponization of the #FISA702 by the DOJ & FBI, today he played his hand.

Following Sara Carter's lead, he moved the "dossier discussion" toward Russian meddling and away from the FBI & DOJ.

22) Fox News has decided it's too dangerous to look into FISA 702 weaponization.

The media handlers have set their boundaries.

23) Our friend @dbongino may not be invited back on Fox after dropping the FISA 702 deuce in their punchbowl. (If he is invited back, I wouldn't expect him to be allowed to report on it.)

24) Look to the future:

When Devin Nunes reports to the House later this month what he learned about FISA 702 abuse, will Fox report on it then?

It probably depends on how much of the conversation is leaked.
foxnews.com/politics/2018/…

25) Perhaps someone like @ByronYork will pick up the trail and report the real story.

But it seems unlikely.
At least for now.
Media handlers at every news agency guard the same people.

26) The House and Senate Judiciary Committees are moving toward the appointment of a second Special Counsel. One who will investigate the weaponization of the FBI & DOJ.

Reporters could get a jump start on the story.
Get people prepared.
But that isn't going to happen.

27) By April, we'll have IG Horowitz's final report from his investigation into the weaponization of the DOJ & FBI.

If a Special Counsel hasn't been appointed by then, we can expect the DOJ to do it at that time

Another reason to get people prepared.
Another opportunity wasted

28) Conservative news outlets are pretending this isn't going to be exposed.
Like they can hide it by ignoring it.

But it is going to be exposed.
And when it is, it'll demonstrate they're not much better than CNN and the others who will be honored at tonight's #FakeNewsAwards

29) I'm grateful for Sundance who follows the leads and reports on what he finds without agenda and without concern for what it might cost him, personally

Conservative Treehouse (The Last Refuge) is a shining example of what the #NewMedia looks like

Hey, @threadreaderapp could you unroll this for me?
