Lindsey Graham: *Asks a good question*
Sally Yates: *Starts to answer and bury herself*
Lindsey Graham: *IMMEDIATELY INTERRUPTS HER*— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
Sally Yates admits that she wouldn't have signed the Carter Page FISA warrant had she known what she knows now about the problems with it.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
Lindsey Graham sounds like he is here to protect Sally Yates instead of grill her on her role in the illegal spying on the Trump campaign.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
Sally Yates claims that the FBI interview of General Flynn was to find out about the conversations he had with Kisylak, not the Logan Act, but Lindsey Graham points out to her that the FBI had the conversations already. Sally Yates rambles in response.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
Lindsay doing a good job.
Sally Yates says that they hadn't made a decision yet but that it was unlikely that they would pursue the Logan Act against General Flynn. She is running as far away from that as she can.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
So far in the Sally Yates testimony we have the Democrats trying to distance themselves from the dossier and Sally Yates trying to distance herself from the Logan Act. A stunning reversal from where we were three years ago when those two things were a huge focus of the media.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
I agree, but for those who haven't voted, the debates will be a very clear contrast between a bumbling dementia candidate & a Stable Genius.
I keep saying it, but we need Trump Rallies. Start in the states with low China Virus cases & as it dissipates, move to other states. Even if they are in more remote states, people will watch online & there will be massive crowds. The campaign has tons of money, so he can afford to use some even on smaller, safer states like North or South Dakota that don't have many cases.
Trump needs to get his message out in longer form than a few minutes at a EO signing or a manufacturing plant.
"Who told the president of the United States about the intercept between Kislyak and @GenFlynn?" @SallyQYates doesn't know, says she's not surprised he knew, but admits she was surprised she didn't know. "You never asked @Comey?" @LindseyGrahamSC asks. She did not #Yates #hearing— Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) August 5, 2020
Dianne Feinstein is pushing the debunked "General Flynn lied" claim, says that he lied to the Vice President when Vice President Pence has said that after we have learned what actually happened, he doesn't believe General Flynn intentionally lied to him.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
Yates claims that General Flynn was "neutering" American sanctions with Russia but that's a lie. The sanctions were in place, but Russia didn't retaliate. She accidentally reveals the goal of the sanctions was to get in a back and forth escalation with Russia, not punish Russia.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
Yates says that General Flynn was going against the foreign policy of the Obama Administration as if it was somehow illegal or nefarious instead of being exactly what his job was. His job was to push the foreign policy of the incoming Trump administration, not continue Obama's.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
Flynn was in his job for 25 days. How could he have been “neutering” anything in 3 weeks?
I haven’t been following the primaries so when I saw Kobach defeated by Marshall in Kansas I initially thought it was a bad thing. However my most trusted pundit, Larry (FReeper LS) tweeted that Marshall would be a better candidate in the general and that would mean Republicans would ‘hold’ the Senate. This sentiment was echoed by other good pundits like Richard Baris, @shepmjs and @best_american.
We have to keep the Senate otherwise President Trump, ‘when’ officially re-elected, would be impeached AND removed this time. My sense/belief/prayer is POTUS will be re-elected, Senate is held, and I’m thinking the House comes back. I see a lot in the trending (one-way) registration numbers to Rep, high enthusiasm for POTUS in primary votes - all are real numbers. Apparently there’s a great deal of Trump signage all over the country and hardly anything for Biden. Even some polls are trending back (but I tend to discount all polls).
Biden is a major problem for the Dems right now. I’m not sure he’s going to stay the candidate. His mental accuity seems to be in sharp decline. The fake news media/Dems are hiding it but it gets out anyway through social media, which most potential voters have access to these days.
Since the Democrats keep saying that General Flynn lied to Vice President Pence, it's important to point out that Vice President Pence no longer believes that to be the case after the evidence revealed otherwise. https://t.co/xzdSjln5Sd— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
Sally Yates is twisting herself into a pretzel trying to explain how Russia not retaliating somehow undermines sanctions that were in place already. She is obsessed with the idea that Russia escalating was necessary when all that would do is hurt our country, not Russia.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
.@SallyQYates is lying. She keeps claiming @GenFlynn was trying to "neuter" the Russia sanctions. NO.
Here's the transcript. Flynn said nothing against sanctions. All Flynn did was ask there be no escalation from Russia because of the need to cooperate in the Middle East #Yates pic.twitter.com/pD15ecJzbU— Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) August 5, 2020
NYC to have COVID-19 checkpoints at major bridges, tunnels: de Blasio
ADAM WARNER AUGUST 05, 2020 - 10:37 AM
FTA
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday that New York City will have COVID-19 checkpoints at key entry points to New York City to help enforce the state’s mandatory 14-day quarantine for travelers.
De Blasio said the new traveler registration checkpoints will be at major bridge and tunnel crossings to remind travelers coming from 34 impacted states and Puerto Rico about the mandatory quarantine.
“Starting today, we’re going to do something new in New York City: We will have checkpoints at key entry points to the city,” the mayor said.
“Travelers from those states will be given information about the quarantine,” de Blasio said. “They’ll be reminded that it’s required, not optional. They’ll be reminded that failure to quarantine is a violation of state law. And it comes with serious penalties. In fact, under certain circumstances, the fines can be as high as $10,000. So this is serious stuff.”
The checkpoints will be operated by the New York City Sheriff’s Office in coordination with other law enforcement agencies.
NYC Sheriff Joseph Fucito said the objective of the checkpoints is to remind visitors and New York residents returning to the city to follow the mandatory quarantine.
“We need to ensure visitors and New Yorkers returning home are taking the necessary precautions to limit the spread of this disease,” Fucito said. “The entire team will strive to ensure the deployment balances the critical public health and welfare needs of the residents of the city with the legal protections entitled to all people.”
Fucito said that “we’re not looking to target out-of-state residents.”
“In fact, what we’re looking to do is educate people who have spent time at COVID-19 hotspots, regardless of their residence when they come into New York,” Fucito said. “The only way to have an effective checkpoint is having a random component to it.”
“To avoid discrimination, it is so many vehicles,” Fucito added. “Let’s say, it’s every sixth vehicle or every eighth vehicle. We determine something in the beginning of the day, and we stick to that pattern throughout the day. And that is how the checkpoint would be conducted at different locations.”
Fucito said sheriff deputies would use their license plate readers to help them count vehicles to stop at random.

SCOOP: Joe Biden is no longer traveling to Milwaukee to accept the Democratic nomination. His plans to travel to the convention have been scrapped because of coronavirus concerns.— Tyler Pager (@tylerpager) August 5, 2020
I was just going to post that - Varney reported it.
Wow. How long can they hide him? This is really becoming very obvious - even to the LIV's
Varney reports Biden eliminate 1031 Exchanges for real estate.
I’d like to see the president tweet this one:

It's bizarre listening to Sally Yates and the Democrats on this committee try to explain that Russia retaliating against us is somehow necessary for us to punish Russia. Just a complete detachment from reality.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
This hearing is making me sick. The left just lies. That’s all they do— Tracy Beanz (@tracybeanz) August 5, 2020
Will someone please tell the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to ask Sally Yates if we had already punished Russia with sanctions why it was necessary for them to retaliate? This is basic stuff.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020
It helps to have people questioning these witnesses who actually understand the case. This is abhorrent. Shame on the GOP from what I’ve heard so far— Tracy Beanz (@tracybeanz) August 5, 2020
LG~~Makes me wonder what's the point?
The only thing that is clear from this Sally Yates hearing is that John Durham is our only hope to ever see justice.— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) August 5, 2020

But my instincts tell me this is a BIG DEAL COVER UP. per Hillary, “If revealed, they will all hang.” That’s why the elites want Trump out so badly. This is about money & theft on a GRAND GLOBAL SCALE.
Hillary has been known to be involved with insider trading back in the 1980’s with her cattle futures transactions. Since there was no accountability for that, what would have stopped her in 2012-2016?
McCain was involved in that Savings and Loan debacle back in the day. Charles Keating case. No accountability for him either.
Most people don’t really understand the machinations of trading on insider information, and how easily it can enrich your friends and family. Certain information that can be monetized – can buy favors and buy off corrupt politicians. I doubt that Judge Rosemary Collyer or Judge Boasberg understand the gravity of this.
Hope the DOJ is looking into this as it relates to the Rosemary Collyer report and the 85% illegal searches.
