5. Tweets from the CEO of 19th News @eramshaw re Lincoln Project tweeting out private DMs.
6. I've asked Twitter if the Lincoln Project tweeting out the private DMs of an outside party is a violation of their terms. Neither party in the screenshots appears to have given consent.
There are other questions now about if there was a violation of federal law involved.

7. A little bit about the news outlet that @AmandaBecker reports for.... @19thnews.
It's funded, in-part, by @craignewmark and @KathrynAMurdoch.
What a bizarre situation here.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/new-media-outlet-covering-the-intersection-of-women-and-politics-launches-as-2020-election-kicks-off/2020/01/25/34c2a2ac-3ee9-11ea-baca-eb7ace0a3455_story.html

8. @NHJennifer, whose DMs are in the screenshots above, says she did not give anyone consent to access her account.
More and more this appears to be a violation of federal law.

9. Important....
Iâm told that @NHJennifer did not have a laptop or phone issued by the Lincoln Project.
It is unclear how they accessed her direct messages in order to tweet them.
It wouldnât have been through a company issued phone or laptop and she did not give them consent

10. People are misinterpreting this tweet which I take responsibility for.
The bizarre situation is referring to Lincoln Project going after @19thnews.
The 19th does excellent work and has diverse and well-qualified board
