Exclusive: A veteran FBI agent told Congress that investigations into Giuliani and other Trump allies were 'suppressed'

@JenWojcik Nice shot. Those are hard to photograph well because the camera doesn't "see" the colors as vividly as we do.
Looks like a sundog but I need to know where the sun is to be sure.
@freemo Oh, no. I'm sorry.
Best social network money can't buy.
We always win when we actually show up. You’d think we’d have showed up a bit more reliably before things got this bad. Now we have to show up like this. A lot. Because this ain’t over. It’s barely begun.

@RickiTarr I don't. I asked my mother to stop celebrating it when I was ten years old and feel the same way 60 years later. I think it's absurd to celebrate and be the center of attention when I've done nothing to deserve it except be born on a random day of an arbitrary calendar, the same as millions of others.
Grey Goose vodka and Bacardi rum owner is hiring more staff and shipping tens of millions of dollars in products to the Russian market. It currently employs 350 people across 7 cities in Russia. Profits were up 8.5% in 2022! So much for the company’s “pause” after the invasion! https://www.wsj.com/articles/bacardis-russia-business-grows-as-other-booze-makers-leave-country-6060993f?mod=hp_lead_pos10
@TruthSandwich @thomasfuchs By starting a company that does it, 40 years ago. We have all the technologies to do it. It's not unheard of to get into a business supplying a product needed in foreign countries.
@TruthSandwich @thomasfuchs The U.S. could have become a player in this market without using the technology here.
@thomasfuchs Indeed. I asked the same question decades ago when the electric / high-speed rail market was shaking out in the world.
Electric high speed rail is found all over the world and is spreading, except in the U.S.A. It's a technology that requires a lot of specialized knowledge and expertise. It's big business and involves a lot of money. The market has shaken out to seven makers, none of them in the Americas.
The U.S.A. missed the opportunity to become a major player in this market.
"The reaction against Judge Cannon’s order was swift and brutal. Professor Tribe said,
'Judge Cannon continues her dopey and constitutionally dubious usurpation of the executive branch’s investigative and prosecutorial prerogatives.'
Joyce Vance tweeted,
'Looks like it is a good week [for the prosecution] to ask the 11th Circuit to replace the judge.'”
As Robert Hubbell notes, in seeking to put her thumb on the scales on behalf of Defendant Trump and to undermine federal cases against him, incompetent Florida judge Aileen Cannon disclosed the existence of a secret grand jury investigation that is ongoing in a different jurisdiction.
Which she absolutely ought not to have done….
She is, Hubbell concludes, the most incompetent judge in the federal judiciary.
