Hopefully optimistic, but brutally naive @adamscrabble . AOC started her "leadership PAC": "Courage to Change", the process to accept lobbying bribes, less than three weeks after winning her seat. influencewatch.org/political-part…
With her Leadership PAC now established, AOC can now, and will now, legally accept payments from lobbyists within the banking and finance sector. Her PAC is how AOC's office will now pay for her DC expenses. It's all legal bribery and done by every representative.
The seat on the Banking and Finance committee is especially lucrative because the banking sector of K-Street lobbyists pays some of the highest bribes for rules changes.

Lobbyists write 100% of the legislation passed by congress. The lobbyists then pay each congressperson or senator for their vote. It really is that simple.

Payments are made to legal *leadership* PAC's set up by the representative to accept the bribes.
This is how a person (rep) making $200k per year, accumulates approximately $1 million in wealth per year. The construct is really quite simple in design. This is also why candidates spend $10+ million to run for offices earning $200k/yr.

OK so here's what really happened to @JulianAssange today: #Ecuador court gave him a crap Internet link & even worse translator, but the judge pretended it was all because Australians can't understand English. #FreeASSANGE elcomercio.com/actualidad/aud…
(ht @LaFleurDelSur for link).
#ASSANGE even "tested out the translator to see how his remarks would be translated. He made several statements in English and then declared that the level of translation was insufficient. The judge then decided to suspend the hearing."
#ASSANGE lawyer Carlos Poveda said: "One of his concerns was that if he made a statement, it could be interpreted as a transgression of his special conditions. What a contradiction!"

(1) "SPYFALL"
(2) There is an origin story for everything. And so, to understand the origins of SpyGate, we must first go back a few years.
(3) In mid-2000, the energy company Enron in Houston, TX had a stock price of $90.75, only for it to plummet by the end of November 2001 to less than $1, and end up in bankruptcy on December 2, 2001.

#FBI MADE BEST BUY'S GEEK SQUAD PAID INFORMANTS |..who routinely searched customers computers for "illegal" material ocweekly.com/news/fbi-used-…
⤴️Best Buy & FBI
— in May 2017 Judge Carney ruled the warrant to search Dr. Rettenmaier's home was based on "false & misleading statements". The judge's ruling left many of the case's troubling issues unresolved, but seemed to validate the use of Geek Squad by FBI.

⤴️Judge throws out tainted fruit
— this case revealed a vast conspiracy (call it what it is) between the FBI & Best Buy to scan ppl's hard drives for illicit digital substances. Including bounties & targeted citizen lists. The judge threw out warrant because FBI lied.
