It is not surprising that Michael Caputo said these crazy things. That's the kind of thing he says. It's surprising that HHS Secretary Alex Azar, instead of resigning with some dignity, allowed Caputo to get that job. nytimes.com/2020/09/14/us/…
Making Michael Caputo their HHS spokesman, while trying to muzzle Fauci, shows how seriously the Trump administration takes coronavirus. politico.com/news/2020/09/0…
“Mr. Caputo is a critical, integral part of the president’s coronavirus response, leading on public messaging as Americans need public health information to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic.” nytimes.com/2020/09/14/us/…

The US Trustee in the Ch. 11 case of jailed Chinese mogul Miles Guo is filing motions aimed at recovering $ the trustee says Guo paid out via shell companies he ran as part of a fraudulent scheme. This is revealing entities, which aren't accused of crime, that got $ from Guo. Ie.
Image
Image
This indicates a $250,000 payment by Guo to Steve Bannon, via a company Guo controlled some time before Feb. 2022, that was not previously known.

In 2019, the Washington Free Beacon fired conservative columnist Bill Gertz (who after he admitted in a deposition that he'd taken $100K from a close associate of Guo named William Je while regularly writing, quite favorably, about Guo. buzzfeednews.com/article/rosieg…

Example of how Musk has successfully tweaked Twitter to promote right wing bullshit: ABC News reported on Trump idiotically sharing US nuclear submarine secrets with an Australian Mar-a-Lago member. . Then the NYTimes did too. .abcnews.go.com/US/after-white…
nytimes.com/2023/10/05/us/…
A CBS News reporter who for years has reported very sympathetically on Trumpworld figures tweets that "sources" told her that there is no indication former President Trump shared sensitive records" with the Australian guy. 4,700 RTS.
Image
This is red-flag level vague attribution. What sources? why are they unnamed? A Trump spokesman on background? Might be. Or maybe someone who doesn't know what happened speculating.

Giuliani, perhaps sober, is set to to make “a major announcement that will have far reaching implications for justice and the rule of law,” per his spokesman. Will be outside Merrimack County Superior Court in Concord, NH, with two lawyers on hand.
Rudy's big announcement is that he is suing Joe Biden for calling him a Russian pawn in 2020. Comes shortly after Hunter Biden sued Rudy. lawandcrime.com/high-profile/t…
“He called me a Russian operative. That is a lie, that is false... That’s what’s called libel, defamation per se," said Giuliani, who knows something about defamation. npr.org/2023/08/30/119…

Navarro's real fast conviction is a new reminder that saying "executive privilege" is not, as Trump and co. assert, magic. motherjones.com/politics/2023/…
Navarro is supposedly the "International Ambassador" for the New Federal State of China, a kooky org launched in 2020 by Steve Bannon and Guo Wengui. They pretend it's sort of a sovereign body. The job does not get Navarro diplomatic immunity though. motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
Bannon has also helped Navarro with his incessant fundraising by appealing to Guo Wengui's network of supporters. These guys are united by claiming the various crimes they've been convicted or indicted for are part of a massive DOJ/DNC/CCP conspiracy.

Far right influencers including NY Young Republicans head Gavin Wax and Trump PAC spox Karoline Leavitt put their names on op-eds researched and at least partly written by supporters of exiled Chinese mogul/alleged fraudster Guo Wengui. motherjones.com/politics/2023/…
This was first reported in May by @WalkerBragman: . I confirmed/advanced it a bit.importantcontext.news/p/chinese-diss…
Did Guo pay these influencers to put their names on posts repeating his claims? Leavitt, a '22 GOP nominee for a NH House seat, said: “I’m not going to comment to you about my clients or business relationships." Wax: “I was happy to write a few articles on the CCP. ” So not "no."

Guo Wengui remains in jail facing facing fraud charges. But an org he launched with Bannon, the New Federal State of China, today celebrates its 3rd anniversary at a mansion in Mahwah, NJ. Scheduled speakers include Reps Paul Gosar, Andy Ogles and of course, George Santos. ImageImage
Santos has previously tried to link himself to Guo, claiming that his own fraud indictment is somehow the result of his call to "Free Miles Guo" days earlier, part of the same vast CCP conspiracy Guo and Bannon say caused other fraud charges against them. motherjones.com/politics/2023/…
Gosar and Ogles, a new far right Rep. from Tenn., along with former Rep. Pete Hoekstra, also a listed speaker, are as far as I know, newly aligning with Guo, an alleged Chinese agent charged with running a vast scam in which he used anti-CCP rhetoric to rip off his own backers.
