(IMPORTANT) Everyone needs to pay attention to this, as this disinformation campaign *is* coming—and soon.

Remember: the *whole West* demanded Shokin be fired by Poroshenko for *not* (repeat *not*) prosecuting entities like Burisma. The *whole West* was on the same page on this.
1/ What Trump and his mouthpieces—Giuliani, Solomon, and others—are doing is taking *what we already know* and packaging it (with *heavy* editing) as something new. *No*. The *whole West* told Ukraine that continued support was dependent on Poroshenko firing a corrupt prosecutor.
2/ Moreover—again, I say all this fresh off writing a *book* on this with thousands of citations enumerated in-text—Shokin was *not* investigating Burisma when he was fired *and* the time-period Burisma was *ever* under investigation for *wasn't* one during Hunter Biden's tenure.
3/ Put more simply, we are *multiple* universes away from the sad disinformation Trump's team is about to put out meaning anything about anything. It's information we already had—which was innocuous then and now—that is now going to be framed via empty rhetoric as something else.
4/ Trump's digital psy-ops dovetail nicely with his particular form of long con. Trump 1) commits his crimes in public, then 2) takes private audiotape of his enemies *not doing anything wrong* and assumes his fans are so stupid they'll believe anything *framed* this way is bad.
5/ PROOF OF CORRUPTION establishes that John Solomon is *not a journalist*. He is a Trump operative who has been permitted to *pose* as a journalist by writing for a publication owned by a Trump friend. It's that simple. So this disinformation campaign is just a Trump 2020 joint.
6/ One of the reasons I wrote PROOF OF CORRUPTION is because I—like many others—knew this was coming: a sustained attempt to recast a Trump bribery scandal as a Biden bribery scandal. This is propaganda 101, both at Trump Tower and the Kremlin—accuse your enemy of what *you* did.
7/ PROOF OF CORRUPTION is coming this summer and can be preordered now. When you read it you get a *comprehensive* explanation of what *actually* happened in Ukraine—and what Trump and the Kremlin have worked hand-in-glove to try to get you to *believe* happened. Don't be fooled.
