“We talk about freedom and choice, except for when it’s dealing with ovaries and uteruses.”

— WV Delegate @officialdaniwv (D) introduces H.B. 4382 to combat the rise of anti-choice legislation in the state.

Eastern Ukraine’s largest city almost fell to Russian proxies in 2014. Now, the mood has shifted dramatically because residents have seen what happened in the nearby Donbas region — where Moscow-backed forces succeeded. My @WSJ report from Kharkiv. https://t.co/GwEMvyuP0D

Remember: This is the largest criminal investigation in the history of the Department of Justice since its creation after the Civil War.

It was decades in the planning. Years in the execution. Days in the crucible of crisis after Biden's election.

And now...

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

"Overturning" the election would admit that it happened, but it was canceled by force, which would have made American Democracy totally illegitimate.

Trump's plan was much worse. It would be creating "the real election" and claiming that he won "the real one" fair and square.

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

Think Trump's "admission" that he was going to "overturn" the election is legal trickery and word games.

*It's much worse.* They were going to create a forged election using fake documents and hand-picked crisis-actor "electors" - and call it the *real* election.

[Debra Rothman @FanaticalModera]

@ericgarland @DFire45 Don't forget, though-- the soonest he could pardon anyone (God forbid) would be January 2025. Also, a pardon does not negate guilt.

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

Trump needs to "offer pardons" because the next round of prosecution targets for January 6 will go to the granular local levels of the GOP.

And *associated domestic terrorists.*

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

That's why Trump is "offering pardons," although that's like me telling people if they suck up to me, I might get them to be Tom Brady's replacement.

I mean. Theoretically, there's maybe *some* way I might have that power, but it's bizarrely, highly unlikely. 🤪

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

Those knuckle-dragging Neo-Nazis have to sign affidavits and be available to otherwise testify...setting off a chain reaction through other prosecutions...that will tear through the *local* networks of GOP fundraisers, donors, and the backers of this treasonous mess.

Get it? 😈

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

Then you have the people ratting everyone out possible with the hopes of getting time off through Rule 35.

Think of how many people got on Parler, Signal, WhatsApp and yammered about stealing the voting machines.

Whoever proffers first has a chance at tennis prison.

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

Once those cretins are cooperating with the Feds under §5K1.1 - SUBSTANTIAL ASSISTANCE TO AUTHORITIES to lower their sentences, then they'll be giving up every co-conspirator they can think of.

They *have to* in order to qualify for time off. https://t.co/v3s2OzRs61§5K1.1

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

ADDENDUM: There's a reason that Trump's propaganda about "offering pardons" happens just as plea deals are advancing *just as they get to the bogus electors and forged documents.*

Their proffers will speed the prosecutions of the whole *national* criminal enterprise. 😈⚖️

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

Again - this is much bigger. And, apparently, it's not done.

Seditious conspiracies must be prosecuted. https://t.co/78vgJamW2q

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

...now we see the rollout of a public corruption/money laundering/criminal conspiracy/treason/ tax evasion/sedition prosecution that is without historical precedent.

It's a helluva thing. So...don't get wrapped around Trump and Pence. It's bigger.

Done with Bill Maher. He's turning into an old, whiny, privileged asshole, Republican-lite, who no longer fact checks before he spews his nonsense. He's 66 and could get Covid AGAIN & end up on a vent tomorrow. He's so out of touch with his viewers.

[LorettaFaucher🇺🇲🌊🌊🇺🇦🌻 @lorettafaucher]

Bill Maher is so far off base abt covid. he doesn't seem to get we have been trying to protect vulnerable ppl. there are a portion that won't accept it so we are not the selfish ones it's those that won't protect themselves to protect society that are the selfish mfer's
