The other day, Andrew Bailey, who stepped down as MO AG in hopes of becoming FBI Director, stepped down. REMARKABLY, one report said he routinely told Kash he was violating the Constitution. Today, DOJ did something profoundly corrupt in hopes of politicizing 8th C, which covers MO, MN, and IA.

Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).

Back to smith hearing, the Rs are assessed with smith having subpoenaed their toll records (i.e. records of numbers dial not conversation). But that move was completely orthodox. If not mandatory to learn what Trump and meadows were up to that day. And the idea that it’s speech or debate is risible.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.
