Loomer speculated that Wong was responsible for adding #TheAtlantic’s #JeffreyGoldberg, to the group chat “on purpose as part of a foreign opp to embarrass the #Trump administration on behalf of China.”

[insane person]

…Loomer was seated directly across the desk from Trump. Seated next to her was Rep #ScottPerry, a PA congressman who was one of Trump’s biggest allies in his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Perry had a separate list of staff concerns he wanted to discuss…

The think tank’s employees or fellows include #JeffreyClark, the fmr snr #DOJ *lawyer* who aided Trump’s attempts to overturn the #2020election result; #KenCuccinelli, a fmr acting deputy secretary in the #DHS under #Trump; & #MarkPaoletta, a fmr snr budget ofcl in the Trump admin. Other Trump allies such as fmr WH adviser #SteveBannon & US #House Reps #ChipRoy & #ScottPerry either spoke at the conferences or appeared on promotional materials for the events.

#Democrats #bullish about #TV #anchor #JanelleStelson's #chances against #GOP #Rep. #ScottPerry of #Pennsylvania.

Republicans dismiss any thought that Perry, a six-term #Republican and #ArmyWarCollege #graduate, is truly #vulnerable in November.

— He should be

The #GOP quest to hold #Garland in #contempt of #Congress for refusing to respond to a #subpoena was not dampened by any sense of irony, even though the #Judiciary Cmte is chaired by Rep #GymJordan. Jordan famously refused to comply w/requests from the House cmte investigating the #Jan6 #insurrection, alongside Reps #ScottPerry, #KevinMcCarthy, #AndyBiggs, & #MoBrooks.

"Like Trump, who has attacked the FBI since then-director James Comey refused to drop the investigation into the connections between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian operatives, Perry has complained bitterly about the FBI’s investigation of him."

Now, Perry will be on the committee that oversees the FBI.

"Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, told the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol that Perry played an important role in the plan to keep Trump in office after he lost the 2020 presidential election."

"House speaker Mike Johnson elevated Ronny Jackson (R-TX) and Scott Perry (R-PA) to the House Intelligence Committee, giving them oversight of the entire U.S. intelligence community and access to the nation’s most sensitive foreign intelligence."

#ScottPerry, who coordinated w/ #Trump allies surrounding the #Jan6th attack on the US Capitol, was involved in his own scandal. “Federal judge orders texts, emails on Rep Scott Perry’s phone be turned over to prosecutors in 2020 election probe,” read a CBS headline from 2023. Perry & Jackson’s past scandals led commentators & journalists to react w/both surprise & scorn at #MikeJohnson’s decision to place them on the #Intelligence Cmte.

Both #ScottPerry & #RonnyJackson have grabbed headlines in recent yrs for all the wrong reasons. Jackson’s on-the-job behavior while working in the WH as #Trump’s physician led to headlines like this: “Rep Ronny Jackson made sexual comments, drank alcohol & took Ambien while working as White House physician, Pentagon watchdog finds.” Jackson was later demoted from retired admiral to retired captain by the #Navy due to the #Pentagon’s investigation into his behavior.
