If the FBI considers conspiracies like PizzaGate to be domestic terrorist threats, which is spot on, then what does that make Michael Flynn and his son who were on the frontlines promoting the fringe conspiracy?

buzzfeednews.com/article/briann…
“In December 2016, a North Carolina man fired gunshots in the pizzeria allegedly in response to the false "pizzagate" story. At the time, Flynn wrote on Twitter: "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story." - NBC News reported in 2017

“Michael Flynn, 33, left the US president-elect's transition team on Tuesday following his tweets about the so-called Pizzagate fake news story.” - BBC reported in Dec. 2016

bbc.com/news/world-us-…
“While he awaits sentencing for lying to the FBI, former national security advisor Michael Flynn will take his awards where he can get them—even if that means appearing alongside Pizzagate pushers and racist YouTubers.”

There are many other dangerous conspiracy theories the former Trump national security advisor promoted.

Others involved fueling a conspiracy the FBI considers a domestic terrorist threat:

“Mike Cernovich, the Internet figure most responsible for pushing Pizzagate into the discourse, and two of his close Internet allies, Jeff Giesea and Jack Posobiec.”

FCC Chair Ajit Pai also helped fuel the PizzaGate conspiracy, which the FBI said is considered a domestic terrorist threat.

Alex Jones used his large platform to promote dangerous conspiracy theories considered by the FBI as domestic terrorists threats. Several resulted in American families being harassed, like the Sandy Hook victims’ families. What does that make Alex Jones?

The day the NYT broke that Manafort joined the Trump campaign, Lewandowski turned himself in to police for assaulting a Breitbart reporter a few weeks earlier. It dominated the news cycle for three days (Trump helped fuel the story), giving Manafort cover. Charges later dropped.
Lewandowski participated in a finance event with Nigel Farage in NYC last week, to help raise money for a new Brexit lobbying group that Bannon serves as an “informal advisor,” on. Bannon’s former company Cambridge Analytica played a big role in Brexit.

Who was one of Trump’s most vocal mouth pieces to advocate for Brexit in June 2016 after the vote that continues to cause chaos in the UK and is celebrated by Putin? Corey Lewandowski.

#MoscowMitch’s $26+ million net worth is not a mystery, as some imply. He got rich because of his corrupt wife Elaine Chaos’s family shipping dynasty. She’s also a national security threat as this article & others illustrate. Both should be investigated.

bostonglobe.com/ideas/2019/06/…
“McConnell & Chao received approximately $26 million from Chao’s family via direct gifts or campaign contributions. Chao’s sister runs the family’s shipping company. Chao has myriad connections w/ Chinese officials overseas, which may be helping her family secure business deals.”
“When it comes to companies like Foremost Group (Chao’s company), the term “American” is meaningless.

Yes, Foremost has an office in NY, but its ships — designed to carry dry bulk, including the coal and ore driving China’s insatiable development — are registered in Liberia.”

When the GOP talks about the “opportunity zones” program, remember that its one way Jared Kushner is funneling foreign money through his company Cadre, which he failed to disclose on his security clearance forms. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
“Cadre recently announced plans to raise multimillion-dollar funds to invest in real estate developments in parts of the US covered by the Trump administration’s “opportunity zones” program, which offers valuable tax breaks to developers and investors.”

theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
“The names of the foreigners investing in Cadre via Goldman Sachs are not disclosed by the companies...Two sources familiar with the firm said much of the money came to the Cayman Islands vehicle from a second offshore tax haven, while some came from Saudi Arabia.”

FBI designates Qanon and Pizzagate domestic terrorist threats

news.yahoo.com/fbi-documents-…
Now listen to this, this is the most hilarious part:
>The FBI said another factor driving the intensity of this threat is “the uncovering of real conspiracies or cover-ups involving illegal or unconstitutional activities by govt officials or leading political figures.”
The FBI does not specify which political leaders or which cover-ups it was referring to.

These people are stupid

1/ Thread: In light of today’s @nytimes report that the #FBI in mid-May ‘17 began to investigate whether President Trump is a #Russian agent, look again at Special Counsel #Mueller’s Dec. 4 pre-sentencing Memorandum in the Michael #Flynn case.
2/ Mueller was appointed Special Counsel about a week after the FBI opened this investigation of Trump. Mueller was appointed to supervise it & other matters, both counter-intelligence & criminal, all related to Russia.
3/ One of the criminal matters was whether Flynn, in Jan. ’17 when he was National Security Adviser, lied to the FBI about recent conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S.

In 1940, President Roosevelt gave #FBI undercover agents authorization to gather intelligence about Nazi threats in western hemisphere. Over 7 years, 340 personnel made up the Special Intelligence Service. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/brief-…
In 1941, the current #FBI seal came into limited use. The prior seal was the DOJ seal w/ extra band for FBI & the motto, “Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.” Special Agent Leo Gauthier created a new design, which has been the symbol ever since. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/seal-m…
Each symbol & color in the #FBI seal has special significance. The blue represents justice. The circle of 13 stars denotes unity of purpose as exemplified by the original 13 states. The laurel leaf symbolizes academic honors, distinction & fame. #FBI110

1/ Time for a 🍕 party!

Nine months ago, @starecheski and reporter Amanda Robb went on a quest to find out who started #PizzaGate. revealnews.org/episodes/pizza…
2/ To catch you up: #PizzaGate is a conspiracy theory alleging that @HillaryClinton and other high-profile Democrats ran a child sex trafficking ring out of a Washington DC pizzeria.

It’s false. #FakeNews.
3/ Amanda and @starecheski’s journey started with this Facebook post. It's one of the earliest references they found to the conspiracy theory:
