Protip: When situations are fast-moving and tactical in nature, take raw intel for what it is. Don't mistake for analyzed/finished work.

Also, when things are super important and moving quick, don't spend time lashing out at sources if they miss a detail. Assess. Move forward.

Moreover: intelligence is a team sport. Different skillsets come together in real time. No one source knows everything - nor one analyst.

Fake News (or propaganda) is the mass repetition of a single lie. This is different than "Hey, it looks like - Oh wait, stand down."

Momentary mistaken observations or the need to cross-check intel with a subject-matter-expert is not the same as being reckless/fraudulent

Compare the above tactical intelligence practices with journalism. Both deal with information, but goals are very different by nature.

With regards to the nascent culture of Impeachment Twitter, think of the updates here as raw intel and journalists as finished intel.

For contrast, see what real Deza/Fake News looks like, exposed by @RVAwonk
(Story about Seth Rich)

Deza/Fake News is a coordinated attempt to distract the public from truthful (not perfect) narratives. It is not about "mistakes."

Deza/Fake News is the pounding of a single bullshit story in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Debate never entertained.

To sum up: you may see updates on a fast-moving situation. Seek confirmation. Use skepticism. Challenge your assumptions! And stay sharp

I thought I'd share this guy's great take on situation we are in.

I am on the House Judiciary Committee. This is what I am going to read this evening.

This is the House Judiciary Committee. Fun fact: If there are impeachment proceedings, this is where it would start. Just sayin'.

So it’s notable that Lieu, who also has a Judicial Doctorate and practiced law while he was an Air Force JAG, has confirmed that he’s researching the impeachment process while stressing that he sits on the committee where impeachment begins.

I found this info on Impeachment:

Impeachment Primer

1. A motion for impeachment is made in the house with the charges described [ Indictment ]
2. Debate ensues
3. Vote
4. Majority vote means House has determined that probable cause does exist thus The accused is now Impeached
5. The charges move to the senate for the trial
6. The trial Judge is the Chief Justice ( Roberts )
7. Evidence presented
8. Testimony
9. Defense
10. It takes a 2/3 majority vote for conviction 67 senators
In the history of our country no President has ever been convicted

Disgusting that you used Seth Rich in your hack.

Sucks to be you!

As you where.

What the heck? Many posts below deleted after yesterday?

Let's use this time to get our feelings hurt because DEM reps don't have the numbers but are still working to make this happen.
Let's put Comey down even though he has the goods on Trump & Russia
Let's put investigators down because... reasons... even though they are putting themselves out there when the MSM is not.

YES I SAY this is perfect time to discredit all of the above.

Yes I say this is the perfect time to try to sabotage all of the above, the DEM party & us.

I wonder what is up with that?

Hahahah! am ready!

REMEMBER: We almost had it all:


I can't help feeling
We could have had it all

Funny all these attacks on her today. I and others consider her to be an ally.

If you don't buy her ideas, fine. That is your opinion, but others will continue to read her.

I have her back because she is putting herself out there and her safety on the line. She is researching things that no one including MSM is bothering with.

To me she is a soldier fighting for the USA. Brit she. Our country is worth fighting for.

She has shared that she has ADHD which is a curse and a blessing. It explains her research and methods. Hyperfocused and able to see connections from lots and lots of data... which is what the Trump/Russia is made of.

I for one am thankful for her time and energy.

Dear LM carry on! Brave woman and patriot.

I love this quote from Charlotte Little:
