1. Why I think this @WSJ article is propaganda. First, the tip off: It's free. No paywall. @rupertmurdoch wants all the US mice to eat some free cheese. 😎

2. I started raising the alarm on testing in January, days before the events in the WSJ report started. None of it made sense then and makes no sense in retrospect.

3. I remain near-certain, Trump had some plan to cashin on from testing. But the real fraud in the WSJ story is that it doesn't even attempt to explain why CDC blew off PCR testing that was working in Wuhan and blew off the test that the Germans gave to WHO. Why?

4. Because Trump was going to leverage testing for his own gain. The first tell is, why didn't they just deploy PCR reagents with an emergency authority to every lab with a PCR unit to do point of care tests?

5. From the article: Who were the FDA officials who wanted to move to commercial sources not standard practice? Who at FDA was talking to commercial suppliers? That's where you will find Trump and if it's bad enough for Rupert to give away free stuff, it must be really bad.

6. Maybe Trump gave @seanhannity a taste of the action? But what Rupert Murdoch is concealing that we must not lose sight of, is that it should have been PCRtests or WHOtests. Who made the decision to make it #TrumpTests? @NewYorkFBI @SpeakerPelosi @FBIWFO @GOPChairwoman
