This is where things becomes interesting one could argue that this is proof of concperscy. And that this is an reward for criminal activity. It should open Flynn and trump for being charged by the next doj unless trump pardons Flynn again.

🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵

The most ridiculous bit is that by laundering absolute nonsense from Benz to Taibbi to Jordan... many of the totally made up claims from Benz (easily disproven ones) are now taken as fact across the political spectrum and throughout the media.

The paperback of Invisible Rulers is out today! To celebrate I dropped audio of the Twitter Space where Mike Benz first groomed Matt Taibbi into believing there'd been "mass censorship" of "hundreds of millions of tweets"—something he'd then testify before Congress. open.substack.com/pub/agentsof...

🇷🇴🇲🇩🇺🇦 Romania, with the help of a Moldovan company, has started buying electricity from Ukraine to cover its deficit. Romania’s energy situation has been complicated by a severe drought and falling river levels, particularly the Danube. Its nuclear power plant was shut down as planned a week ago.

Left: The Russian e-commerce firm Ozon painted “This is not Wildberries, fly away” on the roof of its Nizhny Novgorod distribution center to deter drones. Right: Mariupol Drama Theater, where hundreds of Ukrainian civilians sheltered, word "CHILDREN" was painted outside. Russia still bombed it.

A self-respecting Congress would impeach him over this immediately. Doing an end-run around the Senate's Constitutional "advise and consent" authority to illegally take money from taxpayers, and give it to himself and criminals he likes. Alone, one of the most impeachable offenses in US history.

Its because of the simpel fact its an relatively self contained story. You do not have to remember all the marvel movies go understand who he is and what he is doing.

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.
