THREAD:

Yes, Donald. Please do take away their credentials. Then maybe they would stop going soft on you for fear of losing their access.

Under you Sputnik and @stranahan had White House press passes. Since forced to register under FARA as agents of the Russian government.
Lee @Stranahan, whom you gave a press pass, did a Periscope from White House property talking about his communications with Guccifer 2, that is, with Russian intelligence. You have debased the White House Press Corps.
Under you, more agents of Russian influence - required to register as such - @CassandraRules, with Russian fronts @JackPosobiec @LauraLoomer of Rebel Media and “Citizens for Trump” made the “White Power” sign from the press podium, Donald. Your weakness did that.
Let’s review - @JackPosobiec who pushed the fake #MacronLeaks to attack France’s election? Leaks he received at a Trump property? You had him at the press podium making a “White Power” sign.
Your then press Sec @SeanSpicer is a figure of fun thanks to @melissamccarthy’s genius but he is a first rate traitor who disgraced the uniform and tweeted his bitcoin wallet. Again, Woodward and Bernstein didn’t need press passes
I had the bizarre experience of watching my own reporting on FISA, which broke the FBI’s Russia investigation into your campaign, being read aloud from the White House podium by Spicer as you tried to insert the words “Obama” and “wiretap” into a story containing neither.
You sent my reporting round to the press corps but your @PressSec never contacted me. I never applied for a press pass, even after that. Why would I? I report news, not Sarah Huckabee Sanders fiction. #lies cc @michelleisawolf
So yes, since the press uses “untruth” when it means “lie” and has a phobia of the phrase “money laundering” - pull the passes - and then you can’t use fear of loss of access to bully them.

And we’ll still get you.

The pen is mightier than the fraud. google.com/amp/s/patribot…

I am genuinely shocked that @bensasse and other nominal conservatives will vote to put a partisan boor on the Supreme Court. I am bewildered, even. As a former Conservative MP, let me say that in Britain we would never approve such a man. Never.
Conservatives, and I bleed blue (in the UK that’s the conservative color) are supposed to respect and revere institutions. Culturally we see our party as a guardian of heritage and tradition. We would never approve a gambling, partisan, shouting, emotional hack to the Court.
We as legislators, were we in the GOP’s position, would say to the President “sir, try again. Not voting for this shouty clown Kavanaugh.” You go talk to the whips, pass it up channels. There is no rush for the GOP. Easy aye vote on Gorsuch. Just give us another nominee.

Right, so per "source close to Rod Rosenstein" he has NOT resigned nor has he offered to resign.

If @RealDonaldTrump wants to add another obstruction of justice charge by firing Rosenstein, he'll have to do so. Rosenstein isn't resigning and has not offered to do so.
This per @eorden of CNN.

Rod Rosenstein ("source close to" means this) is not resigning, and has not offered to resign.

Trump may obstruct justice by firing Rosenstein, he must really long for that jail cell, but Rosenstein is not resigning.
This is probably a good time to wise folks up to the idea that if Trump fired Mueller, he wouldn't have fired the Office of Special Counsel. If Mueller spontaneously combusts in the next 5 minutes, the Trump Russia investigation will continue.

It doesn't depend on individuals.

OK @IrreverentView, "trying to rape a girl when aged 17 = "stealing a cookie when aged 5" for MAGA.

Because you don't deny #Kavanaugh did it. You say 'he did it but so what'.

The 19th Amendment is your kryptonite. Hope you don't have any daughters.

PS: I don't support #MeToo, mere accusations, like those of Don Trump Jr and Roger Stone's pal Leanne Tweeden are never enough. I believe Prof. Ford as an individual because her accusation is *credible*. She has therapists' notes from past years. Predating this nomination.
It's important to say this now, to be morally consistent. I will never support a #MeToo deprivation of due process, and I accept the statute of limitations. But confirmation is not a criminal procedure. Let both give testimony. Prof. Ford has pre-existing doctors' notes.

Ok, for a second let’s talk about the National Russia Association’s hypocrite in chief, @Dloesch.

No, @Montel_Williams did not call her a “prostitute”. He used a common metaphor for selling out your principles. So common, in fact, that Dana Loesch uses it herself.

Often.
Here @Dloesch calls @Peggynoonannyc ‘not conservative’ and part of a group of “political prostitutes” [sic]
Here is Dana Loesch @Dloesch using that same ‘political sellout as prostitute metaphor’ for “paid Soros stooges” whom she will talk to because they are “smart enough to get paid to prostitute” [sic].

On the issue of Peter Strzok, whom I respect: you either trust the current leadership of @FBI or you don’t.

The disciplinary supervisor made a recommendation; it was not binding; a higher punishment was decided upon. That’s well within the discretion of the officials involved.
Special Agent Strzok had a higher level of responsibility placed upon him in an election year and by being assigned to an incredibly sensitive investigation with vital consequences for national security. He then violated protocols. At the highest level, more is demanded.
Leadership sucks sometimes. It includes having to take punitive measures against people you personally like and know to be good people, full of integrity, if they breach national security. I have no doubt the decision has nothing to do with politics.

There are some folks on Twitter who are trying to restate this as “Russia had nothing to do with what happened IN Charlottesville”, only the aftermath.

That’s wrong. That’s not what @CNN is reporting - that Russian meddling contributed to the violence.
The Hill reminds us:

“The Wall Street Journal in October reported that Facebook groups with ties to Russia posted racially divisive messages ahead of Charlottesville”

Ahead of it. Russia encouraged the violence that happened, as CNN correctly reports. thehill.com/homenews/house…
You need not only propaganda, you need proximity, for violence to occur. What @RepTomGarrett is reporting the FBI told lawmakers reminds of the Russian hashtag #NotMyPresident used, in the Mueller indictment, to schedule pro- and anti- Trump rallies in NYC on the *same day*.
