In this clip, Kash Patel says the grand jury heard evidence that Comey deleted the '8647' post and apologized. Neither fact appears in the indictment. Hmm. Did the FBI director just disclose evidence presented before a grand jury?

Hi All, Just sent out. On Saturday we saw Trump blink in his confrontation with Iran, though too often the reporting was that he called off talks. There is no evidence to support that, and actually what we see is the US being placed in a strategic box. Here is why. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

It harms "everyone’s right to speak and access information online, and structurally excludes the very people who rely on the internet most. In short, although these laws are often passed with the intention to protect children from harm, the reality is that these laws harm both adults and children."
18% of Black adults don't have a driver's license at all.
Black and Hispanic Americans are disproportionately less likely to have current licenses.
Undocumented immigrants often cannot obtain state IDs or driver's licenses.
People with disabilities are less likely to have current identification.
Lower-income Americans face greater barriers to maintaining valid IDs.

A bad setback for US national interests, Trump doesn't mind. The national humiliation of losing a war to a weaker power even though the US started it, he can tolerate. But setting up a racket for someone else and not getting a taste? Now that might be too far.
