🚨🚨MEGA THREAD: Missouri v. Biden

Many of you have heard me discuss this case in detail, as I have been reporting on it diligently for the past year. However, some of you are unsure of why it is important, or what it all means. This thread will serve as a summary to this point,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Missouri v. Biden was filed on May 5, 2022. Since it was initially filed, it has taken quite a trip through the court system. The complaint has been amended 3 times, with the most recent amendment being to transform the case into a class suit - this due to the overwhelming… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

How journalism works when the press is real:
One reporter does a story. It may not be the whole story, but it’s newsworthy. The next reporter finds the next piece of the puzzle. A third adds more. We compete, but all push the story forward.
The TF response exposes a fake press:
Instead of taking as leads stories like Hamilton 68 or CENTCOM’s fake social media accounts abroad or the FBI, DOS and DHS cranking out thousands of moderation requests, “reputable” journalists are spending all their time attacking me and throwing stupid partisan tantrums. Why?
Because they’re not real journalists. The lot of them are invested in protecting people in power and defending their own screwups (like their stories about #ReleaseTheMemo being driven by Russian bots), so they’re refusing to follow up on dozens of newsworthy stories.

In this clip Devin Nunes discusses the latest Twitter Files #14, in which Twitter determined there were no Russian bots behind the #ReleaseTheMemo movement, in which Twitter users argued for the release of the Nunes memo on the Russia hoax. rumble.com/v259sej-nunes-…
Prominent Dems pushed Twitter to shut it down anyway, using nonexistent Russian bots as a false pretext. The most interesting part of this clip begins at the 7:50 mark. It seems that the new special counsel, Hur, was in the DOJ at the time and was one of those “dirty cops”-
The Russiagate hoaxers who fought Nunes tooth and nail to prevent the memo exposing the hoax from becoming public. Hur played a critical role in drafting and editing an official letter stating that releasing the Nunes memo would harm national security.

A fun thing about how far down the rabbit hole the current iteration of Durham nonsense was -- "Alfa Bank" was mentioned on five (5) editions of Sean Hannity's program before this year. If it had been such a big part of the Trump-Russia mythos... wouldn't he have talked about it?

For years, I have led efforts in Congress to expose the corruption at the highest levels of the Department of Justice and our intelligence community.

It was clear early on that American officials attempted to prevent @realDonaldTrump from being elected to office.
@realDonaldTrump Thankfully, these corrupt officials failed.

But their failure did not prevent them from taking the next step of their coup against America's duly elected president.

Many of these officials tried to overthrow President Trump, culminating in the Mueller witch-hunt/Ukraine hoax.
@realDonaldTrump In April 2017, I issued a statement on the revelations that Susan Rice allegedly attempted to unmask @realDonaldTrump's name in U.S. intelligence reports: biggs.house.gov/media/press-re…

Drop attempt to extradite Firtash to get ginned up dirt on Biden

Firtash hates Biden

He is described as a: “Kremlin Influence agent.” “a political person representing RU interests in UKR.”

Firtash is linked to Mogilevich, one of the region’s biggest Mafia bosses
💰Firtash2💰

The FBI placed Mogilevitch on its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.

Firtash paid Parnas & underwrote the cost of Manafort’s services to Yanukovych.

Note the narrative symmetry of this scandal: Both Manafort and Parnas shared the same Russian-alligned paymaster.
💰Firtash3💰

In 2002, appointed by Putin, Firtash became Gazprom’s most important middleman: He was responsible for selling RU gas to UKR

Gazprom sold Firtash gas at 4x below the market price.

When Firtash resold the gas to the Ukrainian state, he pocketed a profit of $3B

The holiday season may have drawn to a close, but these trend-hijacking pornbots seem to have missed the memo. #ReleaseTheMemo #ThursdayThoughts

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote By searching for the repeated phrases used by the pornbots, we found 19 accounts. All supposedly tweet via the "Twitter Web Client" (the old version of the Twitter website), but due to repetition of content and frequently inhuman sleep schedules, we believe them to be automated.
@ZellaQuixote Here are the 40 trends that this botnet most frequently grafts onto its tweets. Holidays, sports, and recent political/news topics make up the bulk of the list. All appear to be U.S. trends (or have at least trended recently in the U.S.). These bots drop the "#" from hashtags.

💣 SmokingHowitzer💣

Trump could shoot someone and escape prosecution, his lawyer argues

Words such as “devastating” & “bombshell” hardly do justice to the congressional testimony of Amb Taylor.

This wasn’t a smoking gun.

It was a smoking howitzer.
💣 Howitzer2💣

Taylor’s testimony devastated all of the excuses and evasions made by Trump’s die-hard defenders.

Matt Gaetz and his Coalition of the Stupid (COTS) stormed impeachment proceedings to 'demand transparency' — except that's not what it's really about
💣 Howitzer3💣

Dozens of the COTS brought in cell phones,”

“They not only brought in their unauthorized bodies, they may have brought in the Russians & the Chinese w/ electronics into a secure space, which will require that the space at some point in time be desensitized.”

We decided to take a look at accounts that use the Honkler/Clown Pepe meme as a userpic (example shown here). First problem: how do we gather a set of Twitter accounts with similar pictures?

cc: @ZellaQuixote
We could train an image recognition model to find the Honkler images, but we'd need to already have a large set of examples. Instead, we took advantage of the fact that the meme has a very specific color scheme, and looked for images that shared it.
To test the color scheme, we transformed the image into a distribution of the colors used, normalized for brightness. Eight specific color tones (the Pepe green, red for the nose, and six colors of the rainbow) comprise the signature of the Honkler meme.

Twitter released several additional datasets this morning of accounts that were suspended on suspicion of being state-backed disinformation operations. Let's take a look at the additional 418 Russia-aligned accounts first.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
There are 927536 total tweets in this dataset, with some activity as far back as 2010 but the majority of the tweets happening between early 2015 and November 6th, 2018 (US midterm election).
What did these accounts tweet about? The "Trump", "Islam", and "Hillary Clinton" categories are the most prevalent. The #QAnon category has far more activity than in the previously-released IRA dataset (22179 tweets vs 2721).

The president of the United States watches cable news for hours each day and is privately advised by Fox News hosts. Here's what they're telling him to do: mediamatters.org/blog/2018/09/1…
1) Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity spent a lot of time last week calling on Trump to release DOJ docs that supposedly prove the Mueller probe is a witch hunt.

Basically #ReleaseTheMemo all over again.

He's reportedly taking this advice as soon as this week.
2) More attacks on social media platforms. It's the "conservative media bias" argument for a new generation. Diamond and Silk are the big players here; they've been getting lots of Fox screen time to falsely claim that conservatives are being censored, and Trump is watching.

House Freedom Caucus members filed Articles of Impeachment against
Deputy AG Rod #Rosenstein ("Mueller's boss") claiming he hasn't been responsive to their demands for documents regarding the #Mueller investigation.

What does it mean & what do we do? 1/5
thehill.com/policy/nationa…
The Articles of Impeachment against Rosenstein have been filed in a parliamentary "end run" around leadership and do not have the support of @SpeakerRyan or @TGowdySC.

No vote is expected anytime soon and it is highly unlikely the House would approve them anyways. 2/5
Since the Articles of Impeachment are almost certain to fail, it is likely they are being filed to give Trump a PRETEXT to fire Rosenstein.

Firing Rosenstein would let Trump replace him with a loyalist who could sharply curtail Mueller's investigation or even fire Mueller. 3/5

1) The boards are being shilled pretty hard today w people questioning #QanonPosts. I'd like to interrupt your normally scheduled programming with the following:

The #swamp is being drained. See the list of accomplishments below, corruption at this scale takes time. #QAnon
2) There was a massive roundup of #Saudi elites, including Al-Waleed bin Talal, notable for his endless meddling in #US affairs and membership in the #cabal. All were neutered.

3) #ISIS is on it's last breath. Why? #Saudi purge? Who else funds ISIS? See how fast they disappeared once their funding was cut? Imagine the intricate planning needed to cut those strings.
