This is remarkable stuff. Al Jazeera's investigative unit created a front pro-gun group in Australia and, over the course of three years, used it to build close relationships with the NRA and the far-right One Nation party.
Part 1 of "How to Sell a Massacre" here:
And some fascinating background reading on the investigation here: aje.io/7y6lr and here: aje.io/eynp3.
Update: The One Nation party appears to have reported Al Jazeera to the police...

Horrible horrible news. Yaser Murtaja, CLEARLY identified as a journalist and yet shot in the stomach by Israeli forces, is now reported to have died. Let’s see if we journalists make as much noise for a Palestinian journalist as we do for Western ones.
This is Yaser.
This is Yaser.

Rudy’s friend Pavel Fuchs 'made threat' after Trump inauguration aljazeera.com/news/2019/01/o…
Pavel Fuchs, a Ukrainian oligarch who negotiated with Trump and reportedly works with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, stands accused of making a threat of violence against a US-based businessman involved in selling him “bad” inauguration seats
Fuchs was furious that two tickets he purchased for $200,000 left him and a Ukrainian member of parliament with bad seats, according to two well-placed sources speaking to Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit, a Ukrainian newspaper editor and other journalists.

Um not legal?

Time for Mueller to bring out the big guns.

The whole GOP seems to be going to jail. 🤷‍♀️ (Actually a whole bunch on all sides of the aisle)

The entire Trump era has been a festering pit of barely disguised ongoing corruption. But the whole sordid era has not had a 24-hour period quite like the orgy of criminality which we have just experienced.

Over the course of 2 years, US violated #JCPOA, several times, while the Europeans remained silent. These 3 European countries should prove that they won’t be as dishonest & untrustworthy as they were during nuclear talks in 2004-2005. Europe needs to compensate for it:
The US has violated Resolution 2231. Europe must issue a resolution against US’s violation [of it].
Europe must guarantee it will not raise the issue of the Islamic Republic's missiles and regional affairs.

A longtime #NRA attorney reportedly expressed “concerns” about the NRA’s ties w/#Russia🇷🇺and possible involvement in ILLEGALLY funneling Russian money into the 2016 election to help Donald Trump‼️🤬1/

Former NRA board member Cleta Mitchell (also did legal work for them) is one of MANY people whom House Intel Democrats want to interview. Democratic Senate Intel investigators also are interested in what she may know about relationships btwn the NRA and wealthy Russians.🧐 2/
Get this. In addition to being a gun lover (of course🙄), Mitchell is an *election law specialist* and veteran conservative operative.🤨

Meaning: she should know that it’s ILLEGAL for #Russians🇷🇺to donate ANY money that is spent on political campaigns‼️ 3/
