1. Quick Friday evening thread on some things that were released today from Grassleys office. Some good, some that make me angry. Off we go!
2. On January 25, 2018, Grassley sent a letter to Wray asking LOTS of questions about the text messages of our two favorite FBI staffers, Strzok and Page. In it, he questions the messages, and also asks for answers on whether the Justice Dept considered a special counsel (cont)
3. ..for the Clinton investigation. He also questions McCabe and the timing of his recusal, and transmitting government records on non-government systems. Please read this letter. It is compelling. judiciary.senate.gov/download/grass…
6. Letter, continued. He addresses many very significant and detailed points. Today, we received responses and counter responses. Read on.
7. The FBI refers Grassley to the forthcoming OIG report for the answers he seeks to the question of a SC for the Clinton email investigation. This lets us know (likely because they have been investigated thoroughly) that the OIG report will definitely contain this information.
8. Where it gets REALLY dicey for me, is the respnse about the text messages and whether or not they were comm on personal devices. The FBI basically says here, "Sorry. Anything on personal devices we wouldn't ask for and hasn't been provided BIG PROBLEM. "judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
9. Why wouldn't the FBI look at their personal devices and email, ESPECIALLY since we know from recently released text messages, that they were using those devices to perform work related duties?? (the gmail drafts, etc). This has been PUBLICLY acknowledged! FBI is making me
10. Thankfully, Grassley says the same thing in his next letter. He notes that they didn't answer anywhere near all of his questions, and he cites examples of how the texts we have received prove that these two didn't GAF about gov. information.
11. It seems to be a culture thing-- no one follows the rules, everyone skates around them, everyone lies, cheats, steals, COMMITS TREASON, ya know, just another day at the office. Here is the letter. judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
12. Essentially, Grassley is sort of incredulous here. So am I. I don't think this is OK. However, lets leave this aside until we get the NEXT response from the FBI at some point, and look at ANOTHER letter that was sent today. They are challenging McCabes defense-
13. McCabes lawyer states there were emails to Comey to prove Comey knew about the leaking. The OIG didn't provide those emails, nor are they mentioned. Grassley wants them (if they exist). READ:
14. I think the only thing that would STOP these from being produced (if they exist) is that McCabe is under criminal referral, and if they DO exist, it is likely his attorney is using them as part of his defense, or they are locked up in the investigation as a whole.
15. Thanks for reading! Will keep you apprised. So much happening! (PS: @Nick_Falco rocks) #JustSayin

THREAD: This thread will constitute my analysis of the Special Action in Lake v. Hobbs. Buckle up!
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?

COVID is OVERTLY political as well. (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.
