For a good example of what I mean, the absolute scandal that is The Maine Community Foundation, a 732M dollar organization who awarded mass shooting donations to unrelated immigrant and prisoner nonprofits, has a number of reporters who want to cover the story more, but none of their bosses do.
This includes local papers in Maine, the Washington Post and a few others.
Always follow the money no matter who is in charge. MAGA, the actual people ideologically driving the discussion, are learning how to follow the money in ways not possible until recently.
The actual actions of the Trump administration indicates to me that they are listening quite closely, even as they navigate the swamp on a daily basis.
The MCF lied in their fundraising for the worst tragedy to ever happen in Maine’s history, and the powers that be want the story to disappear.
“Irrefutable evidence that President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn’t.”
“The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims.”
“They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards and withheld the truth from the American people. In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election in November of 2016.”
“They worked with their partners in the media to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump and launching what would be a years-long COUP against him and his administration.”
We already knew hillary did this as secdef under obama… is this really groundbreaking?
Maybe im just jaded as ive had “unprecedented, once in a lifetime” events happening every 3-5 years for my entire life, but this isnt special IMO.
Its just russiagate rebranded…
We endured what, 3 years of investigation and the only names that came up with provable collusion with russia were… Hillary and Obama.
Is there anything else yet than Gabbard’s statement/report? I reckon they need data and other sources to prove this.
Until then it’s like Epstein case. Might be, and wouldn’t be surprising if it is, but we cannot be sure yet how serious this is.
Ps. One should probably read the report to say anything more about it. Since sadly this kind of statements mean nothing these days: The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out.
100 pages of supporting documentation has been released. Plus we all experienced the whole ridiculous story as it played out. During the entire “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax, no supporting documentation was ever released to the public.
Yeah. I think the report would be an interesting read. 100 pages can be very compelling, or it can be 100 pages of bullshit. Seen both cases many times.
It wasn’t made exactly by an objective actor. Hahah.
If Gabbard is right, using a fake report and colluding with top officials to attempt an election overthrow is, without room for much debate, going to mean he was the most scandalous president we’ve ever had.
Obama was scandal free because he had a compliant mainstream media while he was busy ushering in Democratic Socialist ideas like DEI, creating and funding the mass migration machine, and laying the ideological groundwork for all of the absolute craziness that has taken over Maine.
Ps. US politics being corrupt surprises no one, but this would be bad, surely. Not as bad as the Epstein stuff if it’s as bad as it can be, but pretty disastrous nonetheless.
I’m going to give it a few days, check in with guys like Taibbi, and let them explain it. Then contrast with mainstream media coverage, and probably eventually dive into it myself.
My hunch is that this is well supported with facts, but I could be wrong. Trump is a very smart guy surrounded by other smart people. Obama and Biden were staffed by ideological fanatics, hamstrung by their bizarre worldview.
It was true when I wrote it. I’d heard Trump ranting about him last night, but he rants about people all the time, so I paid no attention, e.g. who was it who manufactured the Epstein mess? Oh yes, Obama.
It’s pretty hard to pick anything from Trumps speeches, since they’re very incoherent. You’re never sure if he’s going to praise or mock someone this time, or what he will say about Russia, EU, Canada, (you name it). It might be completely intentional, since you’re never fully sure what’s his stand on certain things or what he is trying ro achieve (with the tariffs for example).
