The Trump administration will be over on January 20, but officials like Attorney General William Barr — who has been involved in some of this administration’s most corrupt policies — must not be allowed to escape accountability.

Here’s what we’re still investigating:1/

 President Trump has sought to transform DOJ into a political weapon meant to serve his allies & punish his perceived enemies.

We've uncovered details on the extent to which Barr has aided those efforts, including the Durham investigation, Roger Stone’s sentencing & more. 2/
Our FOIA litigation revealed that Barr met frequently with federal prosecutor John Durham, who was tasked with looking into the origins of the Russia investigation — 18 times in the 7 months after the Mueller investigation ended. 3/
https://t.co/kBLMaY8Po1
On March 25, 2019 — just a day after Barr submitted his letter summarizing the Mueller report to Congress — Durham met with Barr, Barr’s then-Chief of Staff Brian Rabbitt and two career officials from the department’s Justice Management Division. 4/
https://t.co/iQAR0VHSJx
Despite Barr’s frequent public statements about the ongoing Durham investigation, DOJ has selectively chosen to invoke the “ongoing investigation” privilege to withhold documents the public needs in order to understand Durham’s work. 5/
https://t.co/hu1i5PG2Ur
In response to our FOIA requests, DOJ has acknowledged that it has 24 pages of directives and guidance regarding the Durham probe, as well as records regarding its related expenses. DOJ refuses to turn over the Durham-related records. 6/
“The whole point of tapping an outside prosecutor in a case like this is to avoid political interference from the attorney general and other top officials, but here we see just the opposite: Bill Barr had repeated meetings and calls with John Durham at critical moments....” 7/
”...linked to the Russia investigation, and that raises serious questions about the independence and credibility of whatever Durham produces,” our executive director Austin Evers said when we uncovered the documents. 8/
https://t.co/Ra1MY2UI15
In February 2020, the abrupt change in sentencing recommendations for Roger Stone was a shocking example of the lengths Barr’s Justice Department was willing to go to in order to intervene in the cases of associates of President Trump. 9/
In September, we obtained records that shed new light on the circumstances surrounding this controversial move. The records showed how quickly DOJ leadership’s intervention caused chaos. 10/
https://t.co/dLn8AfzRO9
On Feb. 10, DOJ prosecutors recommended Stone serve 7-9 years in prison for lying under oath and witness tampering. Trump tweeted his displeasure at Stone’s perceived ill-treatment. On Feb. 11, an amended sentencing memo was filed. 11/
The records we obtained show that on the night of Feb. 10, DOJ official J.P. Cooney signed off on filing the original sentencing memo. 12/
https://t.co/Lm0ir9Z1Gx
On the morning of Feb. 11, Fox News reported that DOJ’s sentencing position in Stone’s case was expected to change. Around noon that day, Cooney responded to a press inquiry asking whether the reports were accurate. “False,” Cooney said. 13/
https://t.co/wctEXHZWMA
We also obtained records that show Barr personally met with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani & former U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy in the summer and fall of 2019 — apparently regarding a Venezuelan client — just a month before the impeachment inquiry was announced. 14/
https://t.co/mR63Akk7WA
And visitor logs from 2019 and 2020 obtained by American Oversight indicate Barr also met with Tom Fitton, Fox News host Laura Ingraham, conservative judicial adviser Leonard Leo, and White House official Kash Patel, among others. 15/
https://t.co/hf0Uv38OM0
We're still investigating:

Did Barr aid efforts to discredit voting by mail? Barr cited false data to assert that elections relying on VBM have had substantial fraud, which DOJ claimed was due to an incorrect briefing memo. We requested that memo. 16/
What role did Barr play in the federal government’s authoritarian and aggressive response to nationwide racial justice protests this summer? In early June, Barr reportedly ordered the removal of peaceful protesters near the White House. 17/
We’ve filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department for any of Barr’s directives on this issue as well as information on all federal police forces deployed to cities across the country. 18/
https://t.co/xNbfXG1P7a
What do internal whistleblowers say about the attorney general’s conduct? Barr has inappropriately intervened in criminal cases against associates of the president, and has made public statements about the progress of ongoing politically sensitive investigations. 19/
We’re suing for any complaints lodged with the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General or its Office of Professional Responsibility regarding Barr’s conduct as attorney general. 20/
https://t.co/xKyl2PwfHW
Barr is just one of the administration officials we’re still investigating. Stay tuned for more info about our ongoing work—and check out our detailed blog about how we’re using records requests & litigation to ensure Barr and others are held accountable.

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.

Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.


I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.

But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.

Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.

I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

So let's see a show of hands: how many of you even knew Huber was digging into the Clinton Foundation? While he was assisting Horowitz in his digging into the FISC/Steele Dossier/Fusion GPS/Perkins Coie/DNC/Hillary campaign stuff?


I'm sure Huber is coming to DC *only* to discuss Clinton Foundation things with Meadows and his committee.

He for certain, like, won't be huddling with Horowitz or that new guy, Whitaker while he's in town. That would NEVER HAPPEN. [wink wink wink!] 😉

I just spent a year and a half telling you they will SHOW YOU what they are REALLY DOING when they are READY.

Not before.

No matter how much whining is done about it.

I'm exhausted but it's worth it.

Now you know why they're f**king TERRIFIED of Whitaker, the closer tapped by Trump to come in late for the hysterical fireworks that will ensue soon.

Look who's suddenly fund raising for his legal defen- er, I mean, ha ha - his reelection campaign!

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.

HUF / H!ndu Undivided Family - A thread

HUF or H!ndu undivided family is a special provision under the income tax act which allows H!ndu families to enjoy lesser payable income tax as compared to any other individual.

1/n


It also encompasses Buddhist, Ja!n & Sikh families.

HUF Essentially allows a Joint or any family 4 that matter 2 be treated as an individual & the family’s income 4m inherited property, wills and gifts 2 be taxed separately rather than being clubbed with individual’s income.
+

Essentially they can divide their income in two parts.

What does that mean? In essence, It means that it allows the individuals to reduce the payable income tax, as they do not have to consider income from HUF when calculating “their own” taxable income.

3/n

The income from inherited property,wills, gifts is accounted under HUF (with a separate PAN card) and since it is not summed with individual’s income, it warrants a lower payable tax.

4/n

What’s interesting is that, HUF is based on H!ndu law, which does not govern other families allowed to avail benefits of HUF, i.e Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains.

DODDA GANAPATHI, BENGALURU
#karnatakatemples

Dodda in Kannada means big. Sri Ganesha here is 18 ft tall in height and 16 ft wide. Dodda Ganesha is also known as Shakthi Ganapathi and Satya Ganapathi.

It is said that Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bengaluru, saw a rock here.


The rock had engravings of Ganesha. His sculptors cut the Ganesha murti from that single rock. Later, a shrine was built around the Ganesh murti.

It is believed that Dodda Ganapathi is the protector of Bengaluru. All auspicious events start by praying to Him.


Benne Alankara is the most famous festival here when about 100 kg of butter is coated over Ganapathi every four years and the rich prasad is offered to the worshippers.

Ganesha is also covered in cream colour and is decorated with golden laces and buttons
@GampaSD


The Dodda Ganapathi murti is believed to be still growing in size, especially towards right.

The weavers from old Bengaluru tie a coconut to their looms before starting work. When the work is completed, they break 100 coconuts here along with the one tied on the loom.

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession with the island.


The Sentinelese are often described as “uncontacted,” but this not strictly true. They had a very significant contact in 1880 with Commander Portman.

Portman, the black sheep third son of some minor noble, was assigned by the English Royal Navy to administer and pacify the Andaman Islands, a job he pursued from 1880-1900 with the full measure of his own perversity.


Portman was erotically obsessed with the Andamanese, and he indulged his passion for photography by kidnapping members of various tribes and posing them in mock-Greek homoerotic compositions.


During his 20 years in a sexualized heart of darkness, Portman measured and cataloged every inch of his prisoner’s bodies, with an obsessive focus on genitals.
