@semaforben @nandoodles @semafor To me it makes sense to ask him tough questions but why credential him as in the “news” business prior to the interview? He recently produced a special arguing January 6 is a false flag. Would you invite Alex Jones to an event about the “future of news”? — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
IMO, @tuckercarlson would be an great addition to a discussion on propaganda, white nationalism, or Republican Party politics But I’m not sure why he would be included in a discussion on “the future of news” and why the @knightfdn would expend resources branding Carson as “news” https://t.co/rlbl5jp5yH — PolitiTweet.org

11. Popular Information contacted @WellsFargo and asked why it did not include the January 6 vote to overturn the election as part of its PAC contribution criteria. Wells Fargo did not respond. https://t.co/IQuKgRfsaX — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
10. These factors are not listed on the donation matrix, and @WellsFargo donated $20,000 to @gregabbott_tx who advanced Trump's lies about election fraud and ordered the parents of trans youth to be investigated for child abuse https://t.co/IQuKgRfsaX — PolitiTweet.org

9. Elsewhere in the document, @WellsFargo says it "aim[s] to support candidates who align with our company expectations, are willing to work in a bipartisan manner, act with integrity, and support diversity, equity, and inclusion." This appears to be optional, however. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@WellsFargo @NRCC @NRSC 8. The rest of the document lists the Wells Fargo PAC's contributions in 2021 and the first three months of 2022 to state and federal candidates, along with the factors that qualified each candidate. Again, nothing about the 1/6 vote. https://t.co/IQuKgRfsaX https://t.co/69vclUc0ox — PolitiTweet.org

@WellsFargo @NRCC @NRSC 7. https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS obtained an internal "Transparency Report" which details @WellsFargo's new criteria for PAC donations. THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE JANUARY6 VOTE TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION All four factors related to @WellsFargo's bottom line https://t.co/qFnjyP3TZg — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. As of today, @WellsFargo has donated a total of $94,500 to 14 Republican objectors and another $90,000 total to the @NRCC and @NRSC -- money that will also be used to support Republican objectors. How did @WellsFargo become one of the biggest donors to GOP objectors? — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. Less than 90 days later Wells Fargo PAC donated 15K to the @NRCC, which supports Republican objectors In August 2021, the Wells Fargo PAC began donating to individual members of Congress that voted to overturn the election, including @kevinomccarthy https://t.co/IQuKgRfsaX — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. Smith said @WellsFargo factoring in the vote to overturn the election was important because "it reflects who we are as a company, that we conduct ourselves with the highest standards of integrity, that we respect our nation's laws" https://t.co/IQuKgRfsaX — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. When @WellsFargo PAC resumed its donations, Smith said, it would "take into consideration the actions of elected officials who objected to the Electoral College vote during this critical period in our democracy" https://t.co/IQuKgRfsaX — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@WellsFargo 2. On January 12, 2021, Brian Smith, head of gov't relations for @WellsFargo, sent a message to Wells Fargo employees announcing its PAC would "will pause our political donations for the foreseeable future" https://t.co/IQuKgRfsaX https://t.co/nXkOQTFc7h — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS has obtained internal documents from @WellsFargo that show how its corporate PAC really works. And its not a pretty picture. Follow along if interested. 🧵 https://t.co/IQuKgRfsaX — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook’s pivot to the metaverse makes more sense when you understand its business is not social networking but mining attention. The metaverse is a very efficient way to mine attention. You put on the headset and are literally cut off from the physical world. No distractions. — PolitiTweet.org

6. The fact is that Hutchinson was a credible witness who testified under oath. Her testimony was a major problem for Trump and significantly increased the chances he could be charged criminally. https://t.co/fCy0VDKCq7 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. There are also plenty of exceptions to the hearsay rule. What you have on Twitter is a bunch of people with no legal knowledge who thinks "hearsay" is anything someone hears someone say and none of that can be introduced as evidence in a criminal trial. It's nonsense. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. So the idea that EVERYTHING Hutchinson said was hearsay is simply false. Her most important testimony was not hearsay. Other parts of Hutchinson's testimony were hearsay but prosecutors could subpoena direct witnesses. https://t.co/fCy0VDKCq7 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. If Trump was criminally charged by the DOJ, he would be an "opposing party." Under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, an opposing party's statement is not hearsay. https://t.co/fCy0VDKCq7 https://t.co/rvIfApWVU1 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. The most important part of Hutchinson's testimony was that SHE HEARD TRUMP SAY the following before his speech on January 6: "I don’t F-ing care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the F-ing mags away. Let my people in." https://t.co/fCy0VDKCq7 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Many of Trump's allies -- from Jim Jordan to Sean Hannity -- responded to Casey Hutchinson's testimony with a unified message: it is all hearsay that would be inadmissible in a criminal trial. That isn't true. https://t.co/fCy0VDKCq7 https://t.co/qyQGC2J2tO — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
In this case, the single anonymous source is seeking to bolster claims made by TRUMP that Casey Hutchinson is not credible. Maybe some skepticism is warranted? Maybe see if there is another source willing to corroborate the claim? — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
None of the reporters pushing the information from this anonymous source have provided any reason why the source needed or requested anonymity, which is a standard practice of ethical journalism — PolitiTweet.org

Under what theory of journalism is it acceptable to counter public testimony delivered under oath with a single anonymous source? — PolitiTweet.org
