It's time for @OversightDems to bite the bullet & make it clear:
if the investigation into Trump, Russia and the 2016 election is over, it's time to start investigating the massive breach of congressional committee data from SMARTech. washingtonpost.com/politics/mccon…
Under Hastert + Ney's leadership, House Judiciary, Financial Services, Ways & Means, even House Intel Committees - all the sensitive information handled by those committees were hosted by GovTech, a sibling of SmarTech, hosted in the same facility:
From @craigunger's Boss Rove:
And this, from the Mueller report:
pay attention to footnote #140 - SMARTech mentioned by name on page 42.
THIS is what the GOP wants to prevent coming to anyone's attention.
It's time to start making noise, people. Call your reps and senators, and demand a public inquiry now that the Trump/Russia investigation has been 'declared over.'
One other bit that is helping - reporting the percentage of Republican support for Trump, civic violence, etc, without mentioning the actual proportion of Americans, overnormalizes the opinions that will drive democracy into the grave.
The proportion of Americans identifying as Republican # has dropped 5-10% since 2005, to an avg ~26% in 2021 (same trend for Dems).
OMG 80% of Republicans believe…
Is really
20% of adult Americans.
Not reporting THAT alongside every partisan percentage is malpractice.
Reporting trends absent that context hyperinflates the power of that fraction of society, both normalizing and enhancing fear and stasis, fomenting distrust and increasing our isolation from our neighbors.
Truth is, 80% of Americans aren’t willing to die for Trump.
