Reggie Walton has read the unredacted Mueller report, and he says he has questions he needs to post to DOJ in person before he can "assess the merits of certain redactions."
The judge has 3 DAYS worth of questions. I wouldn't want this assignment. https://t.co/ZANMbB2oLp— Dirk Schwenk (Esq, gddmit) (@DirkSchwenk) June 9, 2020
Walton told DOJ to be available for three days of ex parte discussion about this, suggesting the list of questions may be rather long. pic.twitter.com/1z0NfNLGBG— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) June 8, 2020

It’s truly amazing what we’ve gotten used to in the last few years, but it cannot be overstated just how crazy it is that some of the world’s biggest brands are willing to associate with a network that regularly airs racism that that would get ANYONE booted from their companies.

NEW- Trump’s campaign has spent more than $400k on ads to air on D.C. cable because, sources tell @swin24 and @lachlan, they wanted to make sure Trump knew they were running an aggressive operation, including at The Lincoln Project

Fox News is where people who hate blacks, people who hate Jews, people who hate Gays, people who hate Latinos, and people who hate Muslims can all gather to pretend they are just people who hate Liberals.

Someone Is Psyoping Americans, And You Should Be Really Pissed Off About It In my new piece for @surfnd , I look at the "antifa is coming" messages, and why they are incredible dangerous, designed to escalate tensions between Americans. Read more: /1
Many of you saw me posting on this topic over the weekend👇— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
The column 👆 goes into more detail about how to understand psychological operations in the information domain, and what they aim to achieve

The piece goes into detail about the text messages and screenshots circulating last week warning towns that “agitators” were coming and to be prepared. FB, NextDoor, SMS — these campaigns were hyperlocal— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
Many of you plugged-in tweeps helped collect and flag these messages /4 pic.twitter.com/85nIhJTg5m
These rumors spread rapidly. They echoed larger campaigns of fear-mongering from POTUS, the AG, Fox News, and more.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
Local law enforcement was left on the front lines to respond to concerned citizens. These are good examples.👇 Many didn’t fair so well. /6 pic.twitter.com/S7kdb8CeOO
Using army doctrine, I previously wrote a code of conduct for the rules that should guide how influence operations are conducted domestically.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020

In a military context, PSYOP is a highly controlled process used against foreign targets.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
In the current sh*tshow of the American information environment, actors foreign and domestic are using these techniques with varying degrees of sophistication to target Americans. /10
So, what can you do about it?— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
As we discuss information threats specific to the current landscape, it’s important to return to the question guiding this series:
What does it mean to be a better information citizen? /12
This transmission “just to be sure” is fanning the flames of a campaign that aims to polarize us and spark conflict.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
1- Be a roadblock for these types of campaigns: transmission stops with you. /14
Don’t transmit rumors that are designed to exploit our psychology.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
3- Confront manipulative info when it is before you: speak out, tell the group the post is fake/get them to delete it, tell your family member there’s no proof, tell your friend to stop spreading this stuff /16
5- On social media, we can praise the efforts of local authorities and local newspapers and media organizations to combat these types of disinformation campaigns.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
For example, @IdahoStatesman had several pieces on this topic 👏 /18
6- Finally, share content carefully, when it makes sense to do so, to raise concerns or alarm about information you are seeing when you believe it is false.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) June 8, 2020
Get the whisper campaign out of the shadows.

I have resigned my position as Liberty University Online Admissions Counselor effective immediately. I cannot in good faith encourage people to attend a school with racially insensitive leadership and culture. It is a poor reflection of what Jesus Christ requires of us.
