Wow. Ciaramella used the old form, the one that did not allow hearsay. That means the entire impeachment was void ab initio, meaning it was legally dead on arrival. The fact that Atkinson then secretly changed the form and backdated it makes it all exponentially worse.

Back in 2019, we knew that Atkinson had changed the form, but we didn't KNOW whether Ciaramella had used the new form or the old form. It turns out that he had used the old form - the form which required first hand knowledge. The copy of Ciaramella form made public excluded the first two instruction pages in which the firsthand requirement was stated. While Atkinson subsequently changed the form, it was the earlier form that was submitted (sans the two instruction pages.) Atkinson's position was that Ciaramella had first hand knowledge of some things. However, the things that he had first hand knowledge of do not appear to have been especially relevant. Atkinson cited Grassley as authority that secondhand information should be permitted for a whistleblower report. But Atkinson glossed over difference between a non-urgent concern and an urgent concern. This doesn't seem to have been focussed on in discussion. The requirement for firsthand knowledge was reasonable enough for an "urgent" concern. Another point that hasn't been discussed much. In the Solomon articles in March-April 2019 which led into these discussions, there was discussion of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election. Trump's contiguous discussion of the CrowdStrike server supports the possibility that Trump was seeking investigation of 2016 election interference - an entirely proper request - as opposed to anticipatory interference in the 2020 election. One of the major misunderstandings of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 is that the interference was initiated by Biden cadres (especially at the Jan 2016 meeting with Ukrainiain prosecutors and Biden cadres while Biden was a leading candidate for nomination) and resulted in the Black Ledger operation that decapitated Paul Manafort as campaign chair in August 2016. The role of Biden cadres in this interference has been clouded by incorrect pointing at Clinton campaign. There was obviously no way that any of Ciaramella, Wilde or Atkinson could have reasonably been sure that the issues raised by Trump weren't related to past 2016 events, as opposed to still distant 2020 events where Biden's nomination was far from guaranteed. The issue of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election surfaced from time to time in the 2019 impeachment hearings, but was ridiculed and shouted down by State Department officials. None of the Republicans or their staff appear to have been well enough informed to focus on the valid issues.

🚨 JUST IN: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is being praised nationwide for dropping this TRUTH on leftism and "progressivism" "Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence, and hence our form of government. It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government." "It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights." You NAILED IT, Justice Thomas! 🇺🇸 This guy is the true GOAT.

I am a recent @grey4626 convert. Honestly, my response to the first few posts I read was “these are overwrought, over-the-top purple prose,” but I soon changed my mind. They say precisely what needs to be said. I have been equally impressed by your PAINTINGS of the past two days - perfectly moody and dark.

Iran doesn’t get it. Not yet. They’re still circling the wreckage of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan like vultures picking at their own corpse, convinced the game is still theirs to play. They’re wrong. Dead fucking wrong… They’re staring down the barrel of the single most lethal strategic mind to occupy the Oval Office in a century. Donald J. Trump doesn’t do reactive. He doesn’t do “measured responses.” He architects collapse…methodically, relentlessly, ten moves ahead while the mullahs are still arguing over which ayatollah gets the last virgin goat in paradise. This naval blockade isn’t a threat. It’s a garrote. Every tanker denied insurance, every supertanker turned away, every barrel of Iranian crude left rotting in the holds…that’s not pressure. That’s economic exsanguination. Iran’s entire regime floats on oil revenue the way a junkie floats on the next fix. Cut the jugular and watch the body politic convulse. Trump knows it. He’s counted every drop, every dollar, every desperate wire transfer to Hezbollah and the Houthis that just got severed. Precision asphyxiation, executed with the cold elegance of a grandmaster tightening the noose. Psychologically? Masterclass. He’s weaponized their own paranoia against them. The regime’s survival is built on the myth of inevitability…the divine right of the Supreme Leader, the eternal resistance axis. Trump just shattered the myth with twelve days of fire and steel, then walked away smiling, daring them to test the next layer. Now he floods the theater with tankers, refuelers, and carrier strike groups…not because he wants the fight, but because he wants them to know he’s already won it. The psychology of the predator: make the prey feel the shadow before the teeth close. Geopolitically, the board is his. Russia’s bleeding out in the east, China’s staring at its own demographic cliff and a Taiwan clock that’s ticking louder every quarter. Neither patron has the bandwidth or the balls to bleed for Tehran when the American Navy owns the Strait of Hormuz and the skies above it. The Europeans? They’ll whimper about “de-escalation” while quietly cheering every percentage point drop in Brent crude that doesn’t come from their own stranded assets. Trump reads the map the way a wolf reads the herd: he isolates, he starves, he waits for the weak to break. And the philosophy beneath it all? Simple, ancient, merciless. Power is not negotiated. Power is demonstrated. The weak pray for mercy; the strong dictate the terms of surrender. Iran still believes it can haggle with history. Trump already rewrote the chapter. He’s not offering talks…he’s offering a choice between dignified capitulation and the slow, televised strangulation of their entire revolutionary project. So let the mullahs keep tweeting their hollow defiance. Let them posture for the cameras while their economy flatlines and their proxies starve for ammunition. The master strategist already sees the endgame: a nuclear program in ruins, buried stockpiles surrendered or vaporized, and a regime forced to choose between survival and suicide. Iran, you’re not dealing with another cautious Western leader who fears the headlines. You’re dealing with the man who turns headlines into body bags. He’s ten steps ahead. 
You’re still trying to find the board… Checkmate is coming. 
And it’s going to taste like oil and ashes. 💀⚔️⚖️

These are the officials of the Islamic Republic who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and took 52 American diplomats and staff hostage for 444 days. I grew up in their system. From the age of seven, we were forced to chant “Death to America.” We were made to burn the American flag. As schoolgirls, we were coached, controlled, and traumatized. I never forgot that fear, that is why in 2020, I started my investigative report to expose the luxury lives of the children of the same hostage takers in America. Now look at the truth: 1) Habibollah Bitaraf, climbed the US embassy walls. His daughter Hamideh lives in America in Broomfield, Colorado. 2) Mohsen Mirdamadi, helped plan the takeover. His son lives in America‌. Washington. They taught us to hate America. They sent their children to live the American dream. 3) Masoumeh Ebtekar was one of the faces of the U.S. Embassy takeover, a global symbol of “Death to America.” And spoke passionately about cutting ties with the “Great Satan.” She even said she could pull the trigger on hostages herself. Fast forward a few decades: Her son, Isa Hashemi, ends up in the United States, studying, doing business, living the life they told us to hate. So let’s be honest: we, the woman of Iran go to prison, receive lashes, face acid attack, get blinded, killed and even in America we will face assassins in our front door simply for demanding Freedom and criticize the Islamic regime. Iranian protesters get executed for the crime of demanding the same freedom that the children of the Islamic regime officials take it for granted in America. If America is truly the “enemy,” for iran’s regime, why has it consistently been a a place of privilege and opportunity for their children? I invite American media, again and again, to hear our voices and to investigate this reality more deeply. What I’ve shared is only a fraction, the full list is far longer. #DigitalBlackoutInIran #StopExecutionInIran

Because of the Islamic Republic of Iran, we Iranians lost the opportunity to have this beautiful embassy in Washington DC But the officials of the Islamic Republic like @ebtekarm have the hypocrisy to send their children to the US while ordinary Iranians can hardly obtain visas.

Ahhh!!! The DDL's The Designated Liars!!!! Swalwell is one of many!!! You go @MarcelaMarjean The @ScottAdamsSays School is back in session tomorrow morning!!! Bring a vessel of any kind.
jay plemons@jayplemons

Marcela drops a fresh theory on The Scott Adams School: How Swalwell and the other "Designated Liars" get picked to tell the Democrats’ biggest lies. @MarcelaMarjean "They were being blackmailed. The only reason that this all came out now is because they didn't need him anymore. So the truth comes out." @OwenGregorian "I see it in a Mafia frame: the boss wants to stay isolated and protected, so they don't fire the gun or take the guy out back themselves. They need somebody to do it, so they find someone expendable, someone they have dirt on, or someone not in their good graces. They say, 'That's your job now. You have no choice. Do it or face bad consequences.'"

Seven sentences. Five audiences. Every word is a weapon aimed at a different target. This is the most compressed piece of strategic signaling in the history of social media diplomacy. On April 15, Trump posted: “China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it for them, also - And the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran. President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks. We are working together smartly, and very well! Doesn’t that beat fighting??? BUT REMEMBER, we are very good at fighting, if we have to - far better than anyone else!!!” Decode every sentence. “I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz.” The blockade is not a blockade. It is a service. Trump reframes the entire operation from aggression to provision. The navy enforcing interdiction is now the navy “opening” the strait. And “permanently” signals to oil markets, Asian importers, and Iran that the US intends to remain the guarantor of Hormuz transit indefinitely. Not as leverage. As architecture. “I am doing it for them, also - And the World.” China imports over 50 percent of its energy through Hormuz. Trump positions the blockade as a gift to Beijing. The country whose Iranian oil he just cut off is now the beneficiary. Bessent said hours earlier: “They can get oil. Not Iranian oil.” Trump completes the sentence: and I am the one making sure they can. “This situation will never happen again.” A doctrine in five words. The Hormuz crisis, Iran’s closure, the tolls, the mines, the 46 days of disruption will not recur because the United States is establishing permanent enforcement. No treaty. No negotiation. A unilateral declaration of perpetual chokepoint control posted on Truth Social. “They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran.” Unverified. China’s MFA called the arms reports “entirely fabricated” hours earlier. But the sentence forces Beijing into a trap. If China confirms, it concedes publicly. If China denies, it implies the weapons were under consideration. Silence reads as confirmation. Every response validates the claim. The rhetorical structure is designed to be unfalsifiable in real time. “President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks.” The May 14 to 15 summit confirmed in the most disarming language possible. “Big, fat, hug” humanizes the relationship for domestic audiences while signaling to Beijing that Trump views the summit as a victory lap. The framing shapes expectations before a single agenda item is discussed. “Doesn’t that beat fighting???” The carrot. Three audiences: To China, cooperation beats confrontation. To Americans, this president ended a war with a deal. To Iran, fighting is the alternative and you are losing. “BUT REMEMBER, we are very good at fighting, if we have to - far better than anyone else!!!” The stick. The hug is conditional. The cooperation is optional. The carrier strike group is not. The same paragraph offers peace and threatens war, and both are credible because the blockade proves both simultaneously. One post. Seven sentences. Five audiences: China, Iran, domestic voters, oil markets, and the May summit negotiating table. Every word measured. Every ambiguity deliberate. Every claim unfalsifiable in the window that matters. Trump did not write a tweet. He wrote a treaty draft disguised as a social media post.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sec. Scott Bessent just said that because Iran BOMBED Gulf neighbors, those countries are suddenly opening up Iranian regime BANK accounts to Treasury So he can FREEZE their assets! Checkmate playing out. 🔥 "What may prove to be FATAL mistakes the Iranians made was bombing their [Gulf] NEIGHBORS." "Who are now willing to be much more transparent in terms of the funds, or do a deeper dive in investigating the funds that are held within their banking systems." "So, we have pushed out to them the request that we want to freeze more funds of the leadership of the IRGC and any members of Iranian leadership." "The other thing that we have done is we have told companies, we have told countries that if you are buying Iranian oil, that if Iranian money is sitting in your banks, we are now willing to apply secondary sanctions, which is a very stern measure." "The Iranians should know that this is going to be the FINANCIAL equivalent of what we saw in the KINETIC activities." Bessent is an economic ASSASSIN. 🇺🇸

🚨 WOW! Even SPEAKER JOHNSON is responding to Pope Leo on the Iran war — and he nailed it "If you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response." "It is a VERY well-settled matter of Christian theology. There's something called the Just War Doctrine." "The fact that you had the nation that was the largest sponsor of terrorism now having had that ability taken away from them. That means potentially millions of innocent people will be able to keep their lives and not be killed by terrorists." "That's a good thing. That's what's come out of this." "So I don't want to engage in a theological debate with the Pope." "I certainly respect the Pope. I would just say that these are matters that people of good faith and good sense can debate and think through, and I think that's what that reflects."

#1) Michael Atkinson moved from DOJ-NSD, into the position as Intelligence Community Inspector General. Find out who told Trump to make Atkinson ICIG in May 2018, and you will have identified the SPECIFIC PERSON, inside the Trump administration working to remove Trump. #2) As the Mueller narrative collapsed, and after DOJ Rod Rosenstein had exhausted his ability to assist, someone told President Trump to nominate Bill Barr as Attorney General. Find out who told Trump to make Barr the AG and you will have identified the SPECIFIC PERSON, potentially inside the Trump administration - at least giving the illusion therein- working to remove Trump. The date of the #2 recommendation is pictured below. I wasn't present, so I can't ID the exact moment, but this 👇 is when Barr was recommended.

Stephen Miller could HARDLY keep it together when Jesse Watters asked if President Trump had been following the Swalwell saga. MILLER: “Why, has he had a bad week Jesse? I haven’t been watching.” [Bursts out into laughter] Then Miller dropped what he said is the single most important part of the entire story — and it leaves the Democrat Party completely exposed. MILLER: “The most important part about this story, and look, Swalwell is a scumbag, he is a terrible person, the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low, the most dishonest of the most dishonest…” “But the real story here is how the Democrat party controls its members through blackmail.” “It’s got a blackmail file on all of its politicians and it uses them to leverage and control them until it’s time to release it.” “That is how sick and twisted the Democrat party is.” “That’s the next thread we have to pull out here.”

🚨 SEC. MARCO RUBIO JUST MADE HISTORY! He got Israel and Lebanon to sit down at the table to discuss peace, directly, for the first time in multiple DECADES This guy does his job well. 🇺🇸 RUBIO, center of room: "This is about bringing a permanent end to 20 or 30 years of Hezbollah's influence in this part of the world, and not just the damage it's inflicted on Israel, the damage it's inflicted on the Lebanese people!" "We have to remember the Lebanese people are victims of Hezbollah. The Lebanese people are victims of Iranian aggression. And this needs to stop." "And so our hope here, and I know this will be a process, all of the complexities of this matter are not going to be resolved in the next 6 hours, but we can begin to move forward and create the framework where something can happen, something very positive, something very permanent, so that the people of Lebanon can have the kind of future they deserve." "This will take time. But we believe it is worth this endeavor. It is a historic gathering that we hope to build on." "And the hope today is that we can outline the framework upon which a permanent and lasting peace can be developed, so that, as I said, the people of Israel can live in peace, and the people of Lebanon can live not just in peace, but the prosperity and security that they deserve."
