6. I do not know if @speechboy71 is influenced by the fact that his employer receives funding from Charles Koch. But before claiming a piece exposing the non-profit Koch uses to make grants is a "hatchet job" it should be disclosed. This is a pattern among critics of the piece — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@speechboy71 He says the only sanctions he supports are those targeting Russian leadership. Ask @AmbDanFried what that means. I reported out the implications of the position. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@AmbDanFried 5. But why is @speechboy71 so worked up about this and attacking me in an ad hominem way. I'm not sure. Be he is a fellow at @egfound @egfound has accepted money from the Charles Koch Institute to advocate for "restraint" in foreign policy https://t.co/Z3Oiro9Xpq https://t.co/YYvLj8kQ9J — PolitiTweet.org

4. @AmbDanFried, spent 40 yrs in the State Department, including Coordinator for Sanctions Policy after the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014 He told me the Koch position means they are "opposing almost all of the current economic sanctions" because most don't target leaders — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. In the email I obtained, Koch operative @dandcaldwell says the group only supports "targeted sanctions against Russian leaders." Most of the sanctions imposed on Russia do not directly target its leaders. It's a fact. But don't take my word for it! https://t.co/P10dqfCvYm — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. Michael Cohen (@speechboy71) calls my piece a "deplorable hatchet job." His first tweet doesn't specify WHY it's a hatchet job. In another tweet, he says the Koch group is not calling for virtually all sanctions to be dropped. Cohen's claim is false. https://t.co/XHVJDL2iMQ — PolitiTweet.org

1. This piece on Charles Koch and Russia is generating a lot of interest. A few folks though are harshly criticizing it (and me) I want to respond to these criticisms substantively, and also talk about who is funding the people behind them Follow this 🧵 if interested — PolitiTweet.org

@speechboy71 He explicitly said Stand Together only supports sanctions targeting Russian leadership — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@speechboy71 If you only maintain sanctions directly targeting Russian leadership, most would be dropped. It’s a fact. No financial sanctions on Russian banks, state enterprises, technology, etc — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@dandrezner @DamonLinker As an expert in sanctions do you believe that all sanctions except those directly targeting Russian leadership should be dropped? — PolitiTweet.org

RT @peterjukes: What a surprise? Hasn’t Charles Koch invested heavily in fossil fuels? Any Russian investments? — PolitiTweet.org

6. The @StandTogether email was sent the same day the @KochIndustries statement was issued It raises troubling questions about whether Koch's network of non-profit groups are being used to advance @KochIndustries' economic interests https://t.co/dJCMzFTihF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@AmbDanFried 5. @StandTogether, Koch's non-profit group, is supposedly completely separate from @KochIndustries. But the @StandTogether email links to @KochIndustries statement justifying its decision to continue business in Russia https://t.co/dJCMzFTihF https://t.co/NCud9MI6i3 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. @AmbDanFried, who spent 40 yrs in the State Department, including Coordinator for Sanctions Policy after the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, said the policy advocated by the Koch group "would essentially cede victory to Vladimir Putin in Ukraine" https://t.co/dJCMzFTihF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@StandTogether @dandcaldwell 3. The email argues that the United States should drop most sanctions and focus on facilitating a diplomatic resolution to the conflict that includes a "partial" victory for Russia. https://t.co/dJCMzFTihF https://t.co/v8KMMSMzUp — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. The email, sent 3/16 by @standtogether VP @dandcaldwell, says "overly-broad sanctions rarely work" and says sanctions should be limited to "targeted sanctions against Russian leader" This would mean unilaterally lifting most sanctions against Russia https://t.co/dJCMzFTihF — PolitiTweet.org

This is extremely gross. Political organizations like the DCCC have massive email lists that could be extremely impactful if they weren't focused on simply manipulating their audience for the most short-term cash. — PolitiTweet.org

9. In 2022, @ATT's PAC has supported 33 members of Congress that oppose the Dream Act and 18 members that support it. AT&T is attempting to use the anomaly of 2021 to paint an inaccurate picture of its political giving. https://t.co/GcDUHulgeR — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. FEC data shows that in 2020 a majority of @ATT's PAC recipients OPPOSED the Dream Act. In 2021, two-thirds supported the Dream Act but this was a reflection of AT&T's (now abandoned) pledge to suspend donations Jan 6 objectors https://t.co/GcDUHulgeR — PolitiTweet.org
