@zachsdorfman My partner was a Google employee, and so they used that to manipulate me into walking away basically. But it’s also kind of unsolved, what happened.

@zachsdorfman Heya. Just starting the SilVal Harper podcast.

The long probably Russia-Giuliani story, my little part of it, included some odd things. Back in 2010 or so there were several “accidental” deaths of Google employees. In one case, the guy hadn’t even started yet, was set to start some days later. My suspicion is this all—those that were odd, the one on a boat for example—were likely somehow Russia related. Of course we didn’t know that then. 1/2

Rudy's Seized Devices Were More Useful for Investigating January 6 than Marie Yovanovitch's Firing - emptywheel

When the FBI searched Rudy's home in April 2021, the phones he used when getting Marie Yovanovitch fired were not found. But they did find three devices that Rudy used to plan January 6.

Also recommend Catherine Belton’s Putin’s People. Explains how old KGB squirreled away billions in order to launch foreign ops to get “revenge” on the West for their belief US toppled USSR.

It’s like Legion of Doom, ILA, HYDRA, SPECTRE teamed up to destroy democracy.
Main idea is to empower oligarchs, give them excuse, power & access to wealth & to oppress & trick people into supporting it. This, Duginism, Dominionism, Libertarianism, etc all towards same general goal.

@PeteStrzok @emptywheel Saw that PVB is back on the bird app with new acct. He said he did a Shadow Bird test in his account and found that the last thing is happening to him, Reply Deboosting, where it throws it down below the More line . I tested mine and several others, incl yours. Marcy all good, but there’s just one Pete tweet suppressed. It’s the sarcastic “Trust the plan, Tom.” Found that amusing, but didn’t want Elmo to turn it off, so informing you here.
