1. Quick thread to explain some things that people are conflating. It’s super confusing and I hope this helps. If I am wrong anywhere, feel free to correct me.
2. There are SEVERAL investigations going on concurrently right now. Jeff Sessions is the AG. RR is the Deputy AG. Sessions recused himself (a debate for another day) from the Trump/Russia “collusion” issues, placing the next in line (RR) in charge.
3. RR appointed Mueller as the SC, so ANYTHING having to do with what Mueller is investigating (Russia interferes with our election and related matters) coming out of the SC falls under RR.
4. This is why as Mueller was investigating Cohen (yesterday’s thread) he went to RR with the referral of the information, and why RR passed it to the FBI. Sessions wasn’t involved here AT ALL, as he can’t touch anything Mueller related.
5. While the SC is going on, SESSIONS, as acting AG, asked the IG for the Justice Department (Inspector General) to look into all of the issues below. That’s lots of stuff. This has been ongoing since JANUARY 2017.
6. In THIS investigation, there is a US Attorney assigned (Huber) with a GRAND JURY empaneled, outside of DC. The US Attorney has the same powers as a SC. A SC is appointed when the justice department feels the attorney can not be unbiased in their investigation.
7. Sessions doesn’t feel that is necessary right now, as the appointed US attorney doesn’t have any conflicts. While THIS is happening, there are also several other investigations ongoing, some of which with a GJ. I will list these below. These are confirmed investigations.
8. Awan Brothers (GJ), Clinton Foundation (rumors of a GJ- the informant in U1 also spoke to investigators in the Cf investigation), Uranium1 (GJ), Planned Parenthood, Government leaks, Handling of Clinton Email
9. These are running IN TANDEM with the OIG investigation (Horowitz). The OIG investigation was recently expanded to include FISC abuse (the FISA warrants to spy on Carter Page, and possibly others).
10. In addition, both the House AND Senate intelligence committees are running their OWN oversight and investigations into several similar things. This is how we got the infamous #ReleaseTheMemo
11. I speculate that the stalling from the Justice Department on docs involved in these concurrent “matters” is because they are also looped in to a current criminal investigation being run by the OIG.
12. We have proof of this, because Grassley has mentioned the need to cull any documents being used by a Grand Jury out of what is being provided to congress.
13. The Page/Strzok texts that we get to see are coming OUT OF the OIG investigation. We can deduce from this that Congress has been receiving this report in stages for a while now.
14. This means Congress and intelligence committees have been viewing the OIG report as it’s been cleared for release, meaning after the GJ is done with the information and it’s safe to release and won’t harm the investigation.
15. The issue now, is determining what parts (if any) of the alleged 1.2 m page report should be redacted for the public consumption. They cannot release this report until they’ve indicted the folks that are going on the chopping block.
16. McCabe was fired because of information found in the OIG investigation. For comparison, Fast and Furious DID NOT have a GJ or a US attorney
17. In conclusion, RR and Mueller have literally NOTHING to do with Jeff Sessions, who is overseeing the OIG and US Attorney - who are looking into the points (and more) in the doc pictured above. Hope this helps.

Immediately the Lake team uses the proper interpretation of AZ law; that the results of the election are UNCERTAIN. They will get into how the judge erred in his interpretation very shortly.
They state what was proven at trial; failures on Election Day were deliberate. They state what Maricopa has done; Marginalize the deliberate acts with claims of “hiccups” and diminish their impact. This, even as the closing argument blamed voters (Liddy: “You reap what you sow”)
Hot take: When big accounts ask you a question in a tweet, it’s a way for them to get engagement. I’d much rather just give you information and you’ll comment if you want — unless I truly am asking a question.
Ex: There is a hotly contested speakers race. Who do you feel should be speaker?
Or: “Retweet if you agree that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza. Let’s show the world we hate pineapple pizza!!”
THREAD: I am having a hard time understanding the sudden call to “not politicize” things that have already been politicized or are political in nature. I didn’t want movies or comedy to be politicized. I didn’t want sports to be politicized. I didn’t want MUSIC to be politicized.
Alas, here we are. Almost 2023 and LEGITIMATELY everything is politicized. WE DID NOT DO THIS. Woke mobs did. I was perfectly happy shopping without knowing what ideology the corporation held BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T TELL US. It used to be that you did not WANT to alienate half..
…of your customer base. Now people do it as thought it’s REQUIRED.
War is OVERTLY political. War is bad, yes. BUT it is a political action, taken for political reasons. How the hell are you supposed to NOT politicize war?
Inside: “First and foremost, and missed by many, Rosenstein appeared under oath before a Senate Committee without an attorney. With an ongoing investigation into this entire mess being led by a large and growing team of US Attorney’s under the direction of John Durham, (cont)

Both of these things can be true: RR buried the FBI today in his testimony. He also clearly passed all responsibility for any and all of his actions to others. That doesn’t make him noble. He lied to the senate today under oath. That doesn’t make him noble.
He threw the entire FBI under the bus today and we learned a whole lot more about what went down over those months. But he also made a number of just completely unbelievable statements. It’s also clear as @LeeSmithDC said, that @LindseyGrahamSC wouldn’t let him fully answer(cont)
when he was going to expose more. Bottom line- I maintain position here - the hearing was damning in so many ways that I will break down soon. However, the only thing these people have is leverage over one another. That’s why McCabe made a statement today. There is no (cont)
There is no way on Gods green earth RR didn’t know that the Steele Dossier WAS PAID FOR by the DNC IN JUNE. He’s a liar and I’m sure there’s an email proving that somewhere.
Not only that - but RR actually ASKED MUELLER to investigate General Flynn for the Logan Act!
He’s literally saying his case load was too large. Wow.
