1/ Some of us suspected that Trump would use 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗻𝘀 to enable those 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗺 so that they can be free to 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘄 and 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 at Trump's request.

2/ We suspected Trump may threaten those who are not loyal, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀. If we allow these pardons to stand, it will send a message that the President, and those loyal to him, are 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄. We cannot allow that precedent to be set.
3/ We must not allow pardons to stop us from investigating, prosecuting, and holding accountable those involved. This includes 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.
4/ In the words of Ex-Trump official @MilesTaylorUSA:
https://t.co/SdZbakhJ1D

“He'd been told, on repeated occasions, that the way he wanted to do it was 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹. His response was to say: ‘Do it. If you get in trouble 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂’…”
5/ “The President 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗻 U.S. government officials for 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 to implement his immigration policy.”

6/ @MilesTaylorUSA speaks of 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 against 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. Many know the zero-tolerance child separation policy, still happening today, its cruel intentions & consequences. Many don't know of substantially larger number of family separations, >8800+ in 2020 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦…
7/ …as a result of 159,000+ expulsions/deportations this year, including U.S. residents via ICE raids, +more in other 3 years of the Trump admin, the lengthy & squalid incarceration, torture, prolonged exposure to noxious gasses, forced sterilizations, children held in secret…
8/ …facilities, & prison conditions & expulsions leading to deliberate & unnecessary deaths, all with 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘆, all new to the Trump admin. Documented US immigrant residents, esp. POC, continue to be removed from their homes & families to be deported…
9/ …to dangerous countries they have never known, sometimes to their death. Asylum seekers receive only show trials (trials with predetermined outcomes), and several other impediments make it nearly impossible for a legal path for immigrants to obtain U.S. citizenship.
10/ These are all forms of 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲. These are crimes against humanity. They must be investigated, so that all those responsible are held accountable, and so that no future administration is allowed to repeat these crimes with no accountability.
11/ As some forecasted, we have 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 against former FBI director Chris Wray and former cybersecurity director Chris Krebs, as well as many others who have not remained loyal to Trump.
12/ @MilesTaylorUSA:
8:42 “I've received vicious, graphic 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀. …People are 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 to 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 bc they have families, live in homes…Trump fans the flames of this divisiveness & makes ppl 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿 for their 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.”

13/ Having worked with Trump, @MilesTaylorUSA made other forecasts that have since come to fruition:
14/
https://t.co/tk7CKEC8aa
@MilesTaylorUSA:
5:15 “The agencies in the fed gov't have done extraordinary work to prep for this election. Cybersecurity leader Chris Krebs, FBI director Chris Wray… put in place an extraordinary system to fight back against foreign interference.”…
15/ …“The one thing they can't prepare for is that the President himself might fall victim to those 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.”

https://t.co/tk7CKEC8aa
16/ @MilesTaylorUSA:
6:26 “Donald Trump will 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 and vigorously to make sure that he doesn't lose this election… even after November 3.”

https://t.co/Z1W8wr5hFx
17/ @MilesTaylorUSA:
7:40 “I fear the Pres. is preparing to 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 in every state where he has the opportunity.… I could see the Pres. wanting to 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 to contest as many states as possible…”

https://t.co/oBeceRQuMe
18/ Even if Trump leaves office in January, we cannot let it stand that Presidents can create loyal admins that are above the law. If we allow this, it 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
19/ It opens the door to a 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 should Trump return to office after 2024, and may 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 over the next 4 years.
20/ Should Trump consider running again, we need to investigate, so that 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 before we decide on how to vote and whether to reelect him.

More from Trump

Having a Twitter account is not a right.

If you incite violence on Twitter, the company can - and should - stop you. Good call.


Plans for “future armed protests” are spreading on Twitter and elsewhere, the company warned, “including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021”.

Yes, people who boosted their careers off of Trump - his sycophants, his kids & people like Haley, who helped him attack and undermine human rights around the world - are boo-hooing right now.

Always beware of powerful people pretending to be victims.

But no one should react with glee. The president of the United States has been inciting violence, and Republican Party leaders, along with a willing, violent mob, have been aiding his attempts to overthrow the democratic process.

That's the real story here.

The dangers are real, and we've all seen them. That Twitter even had to contemplate banning any politician for inciting violence is awful. That they had to ban the sitting president for it is even worse.

हिमालय पर्वत की एक बड़ी पवित्र गुफा थी।उस गुफा के निकट ही गंगा जी बहती थी।एक बार देवर्षि नारद विचरण करते हुए वहां आ पहुंचे।वह परम पवित्र गुफा नारद जी को अत्यंत सुहावनी लगी।वहां का मनोरम प्राकृतिक दृश्य,पर्वत,नदी और वन देख उनके हृदय में श्रीहरि विष्णु की भक्ति अत्यंत बलवती हो उठी।


और देवर्षि नारद वहीं बैठकर तपस्या में लीन हो गए।इन्द्र नारद की तपस्या से घबरा गए।उन्हें हमेशा की तरह अपना सिंहासन व स्वर्ग खोने का डर सताने लगा।इसलिए इन्द्र ने नारद की तपस्या भंग करने के लिए कामदेव को उनके पास भेज दिया।वहां पहुंच कामदेव ने अपनी माया से वसंतऋतु को उत्पन्न कर दिया।


पेड़ और पौधों पर रंग बिरंगे फूल खिल गए और कोयलें कूकने लगी,पक्षी चहकने लगे।शीतल,मंद,सुगंधित और सुहावनी हवा चलने लगी।रंभा आदि अप्सराएं नाचने लगीं ।किन्तु कामदेव की किसी भी माया का नारद पे कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ा।तब कामदेव को डर सताने लगा कि कहीं नारद क्रोध में आकर मुझे श्राप न देदें।

जैसे ही नारद ने अपनी आंखें खोली, उसी क्षण कामदेव ने उनसे क्षमा मांगी।नारद मुनि को तनिक भी क्रोध नहीं आया और उन्होने शीघ्र ही कामदेव को क्षमा कर दिया।कामदेव प्रसन्न होकर वहां से चले गए।कामदेव के चले जाने पर देवर्षि के मन में अहंकार आ गया कि मैने कामदेव को हरा दिया।

नारद फिर कैलाश जा पहुंचे और शिवजी को अपनी विजयगाथा सुनाई।शिव समझ गए कि नारद अहंकारी हो गए हैं और अगर ये बात विष्णु जी जान गए तो नारद के लिए अच्छा नहीं होगा।ये सोचकर शिवजी ने नारद को भगवन विष्णु को ये बात बताने के लीए मना किया। परंतु नारद जी को ये बात उचित नहीं लगी।
The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
