Informative short article, worth the read👉 For the Koch Brothers, Buying Elections Ain’t What It Used to Be nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The magazine’s story opens at a February meeting of the Koch network’s top political operatives. Trump had just won the New Hampshire primary, and Freedom Partners president Marc Short had prepared a plan to halt the Donald’s rise.
But when Short arrived at the summit he was confronted by an unwelcome surprise: The Koch’s “corporate wing” had been invited.

Another equally disquieting thought is that the Koch tracks in this 40-year attempt at a government takeover have been successfully erased. In October 2016, Ken Vogel, then with Politico and now with the New York Times, wrote that the Koch network was concerned that if Democrats
retook the Senate, it “could find itself facing congressional investigations.” Vogel further reports that “about 200 staffers from the Koch brothers’ conservative advocacy network” were summoned to an auditorium and told
“about the importance of destroying old physical and electronic files.”

Behind the retreat of the Koch brothers' operation👉Ironically, though, some Koch insiders and critics alike agree that the conditions that are now challenging the Kochs are in some ways of their own creation. politico.com/story/2016/10/…
By helping to empower the anti-establishment tea party protests in 2009 and 2010, these people say, the Koch network inadvertently laid the groundwork for a movement that turned towards a strain of anti-immigrant protectionism that is anathema to the Koch’s ideology,
and that proved fertile ground for Trump’s nationalist brand of populism. “We are partly responsible,” said one former network staffer.

@ggreenwald @andohehir GGs bloviating blowhard bravado, bluster & blarney misses 🗝️points:

- DELAYED REACTION, PRE-EXONERATED COVER UP
- Rosenstein wrote Mueller's Directive
- Word *GOVERNMENT* restricted meaning, WHY???
- Kremlin used Assange to DATA launder
- Gov't excludes cutouts Sater, Kilimnik?
@ggreenwald @andohehir 2/ Some of the Mueller Report outcomes were of a binary nature:
- Indicted or not?
- For "Collusion" and/or Obstruction (or not)?
- So Glenn effectively guessed right on flips of a coin. Bully for him. I wouldn't pound your chest so hard you break your sternum & cough up blood.
@ggreenwald @andohehir 3/ Collusion not a crime, so odd, to say the least, for Trumpov to shriek 24/7, then when predictably not charged with non-crime that isn't a thing, pretend its exculpatory?
- Coordination so narrowly defined, would anything less than Trump/Putin📞count?

This is an excellent article about the time Secretary Chao spent in private meetings from 02/17-03/18, but I’m going to dig a little more deeply into the individuals she met with or called, according to her FOIA’ed schedule. (1)

It may be useful to keep this in mind. (2)
cdn.muckrock.com/foia_files/201…
Here’s the link to the schedule. Threads are painful enough without screenshots, so I’ll simply reference dates. I may come back to expound on an entry, and please feel free to do the same.

I’ve only made it through 8/17 so far, but it’s a start. (3)

nymag.com/intelligencer/… What I can’t get past with Boghossian and his jackass crew is this: They have an obsessive hatred of academic fields that a) don’t involve them b) never did anything to hurt them and c) they could simply ignore if they wanted to. And yet….
Boghossian is so filled with spite and hate for departments that have nothing to do with him that he and his buddies concocted a spiteful hoax meant only to humiliate people that, I cannot reiterate enough, did nothing to him. Despite all this….
Boghossian has the nerve to accuse anyone else of “grievance studies”. Let’s be clear: Someone in this situation has a ridiculous grievance they shouldn’t have that they are wasting their life away on. It’s Boghossian.

nymag.com/intelligencer/… I don’t know why there’s still so much unwillingness to even accept the possibility that Trump is simply working for Putin.

On the contrary, I’d say it’s the only explanation that really makes sense.
Again, as @maddow pointed out last night, Trump has a long habit of parroting downright obscure talking points that come straight from Putin, often referencing countries he probably didn’t even know existed.
And, as Chait himself notes, this comes right as Russia is about to declare they were always right to invade Afghanistan.

And Trump has already been caught trying to backchannel with Putin:

The very last line:
Reading about Jeffrey Epstein for longer than 45min may lead one to conclude that 4chan posts about “Pizzagate” paint a more accurate picture of the American ruling class than, say, all those uplifting speeches at John McCain’s funeral.
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
It happening 😳
This story coming out of the Herald seems to be doing more to push the Pizzagate/Epstein/Cabal disclosures forward rather than hinder Trump/Q/Alliance. Mainstream outlets seem to be doing damage control over it
