This isn't what we're focused on tonight, but I want to make sure everyone knows SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—was found in French patients on November 16 & 18, per NBC. This bolsters the timeline in PROOF OF CORRUPTION: Trump knew in November. nbcnews.com/news/world/new…
1/ PROOF OF CORRUPTION marshals evidence from ABC News, NBC News, CNN, the Times of Israel, Business Insider, the South China Morning Post, medical journals, and other major media to *confirm* that the Trump White House was warned about an emerging killer virus in November 2019.
2/ WeChat searches, NCMI reports, U.S. WHO observers in Geneva, nonpublic medical surveillance data from Beijing, French cases studies—*everything* establishes Trump was aware of the virus threat by the second week of November 2019. He did nothing—actually, *worse* than nothing.
3/ When China inserted what we might call a "pandemic clause" in trade negotiations with Trump in December 2019, despite it being, per major media, highly unusual—even *suspicious*—the Trump White House raised no objections. By then, the White House knew why the clause was there.
4/ The *very same trade team* negotiating that deal had received dirt on Joe Biden from the Chinese government less than 30 days earlier—dirt that Donald Trump specifically requested, requested publicly, and commingled in demanding with the "leverage" he had over China on trade.
5/ In mid-2019, Trump commingled Biden and trade talks in a call with Xi Jinping—and media reports confirm this was one of the only call transcripts secreted improperly in the NSC NICE archive. The other calls were with Putin, MBS, and Zelensky (the call that got him impeached).
6/ I regret that supposedly "comprehensive" timelines written by @maggieNYT and others missed every major-media report, medical signal, and confluence of events detailed in scores of pages in Proof of Corruption. The result: a bogus COVID-19 timeline that bolsters Trump's deceit.
7/ Right now America believes the timeline of Trump's "ineptitude" on COVID-19 begins in mid- to late January.
That is untrue.
The timeline of Trump being *bribed* by China to ignore early intelligence on a killer virus begins in November 2019. Major-media reports *confirm* it.

8/ What I ask people to do is not fall for the trap of thinking of the COVID-19 situation as a "crisis" rather than a "scandal"—in fact, it's both. And I ask people not to think of it as a "2020" event but an event with as many key sub-events in 2019 as 2020. Because it's a fact.
9/ What does this have to do with tonight? What does it have to do with Trump greenlighting war crimes in Syria in 2019? Calling TBIs suffered by U.S. soldiers in Iraq in January 2020—due to lies he told—non-injuries? Simple: he knowingly causes pain and death and *doesn't care*.
10/ I'm going to repeat that, because I chose my words carefully: Trump KNOWINGLY causes PAIN and DEATH and DOES NOT CARE.
It's not incompetence. It's not negligence. It's not recklessness. It's a KNOWING act. In China. In Syria. In Iraq. And now here.
He is an actual monster.

CONCLUSION/ This administration will be measured in *deliberate* casualties. Dead Kurdish children. US soldiers wounded in rocket attacks Trump precipitated. 100,000 Americans dead from COVID-19—with many more coming. Black men like George Floyd killed by police incited by Trump.
CONCLUSION2/ We've never before had a president who *invited*, *incited*, and *instigated* crimes at the level we've seen under Trump—some crimes that killed people, some crimes that perverted elections, some crimes that put children in cages. But they are *crimes*, not mistakes.
