Hey @CNN: everything about this piece must be changed immediately. You give the impression DOJ has reopened a probe into *Clinton*—when Barr's lackeys confirmed the FBI was *right* to close that case. *This* is a probe into how the *FBI* handled that case. cnn.com/2020/09/24/pol…
PS/ Given that the fraudulent reopening of the Clinton case in October 2016—compelled by illegal extortionate threats by Trump's agents—swung the 2016 election, how dare CNN leave the impression, via image and text, *weeks before the 2020 vote*, that Clinton is under probe again?
PS2/ Here's the first paragraph of Chapter 6 of PROOF OF CORRUPTION. Anyone can readily confirm that John Huber found *nothing* amiss at the Clinton Foundation. If Barr wants to investigate how the FBI handled that case, OK. It has *nothing* to do with Clinton. Shame on you, CNN. Image
PS3/ Look at the headline: "Prosecutor tapped by Barr to investigate Russia probe is now looking into Clinton Foundation." CNN and the NYT just ran a political commercial for Trump that'll amp up his voters, as now they *wrongly* think the Clinton Foundation is under probe again.
PS4/ Instead of just reporting the news—"Barr Asks Durham to Compare Clinton and Trump Probes for Signs of Bias, Despite Prior Finding By DOJ IG Horowitz That No Such Bias Existed"—@CNN and @nytimes have falsely implied there are new facts to probe in the Clinton Foundation case.
PS5/ If you doubt what a solid CNN/the NYT just did for Trump *when they should be reporting on the Trump coup plot*, imagine the political impact it would've had if Barr had announced "We're investigating Clinton!" But he wouldn't have dared. CNN/the NYT just gave that to Trump.
PS6/ I'm so angry right now. John Huber—*under Barr*—*cleared* the Clinton Foundation. Want to know the first time Huber's name appears in the @nytimes article on Barr having Durham probe *FBI* actions in that case? *The second-to-last paragraph*. This is *terrible* journalism.
PS7/ Now "Clinton Foundation" is trending, everyone *wrongly* thinks Clinton is under investigation again, it's weeks before the 2020 election, these same errors cost Democrats the 2016 election, #TrumpCoupPlot should be everywhere and isn't, and all because the *NYT screwed up*.
PS8/ Meanwhile, anyone who read Proof of Corruption is—once again—ahead of the news, as readers of the Proof series *know* John Huber looked at the Clinton Foundation for years and found *nothing*. Want to know who wants this topic back in the news? You guessed it: the Kremlin.
PS9/ The Kremlin spent years spreading conspiracy theories about the Clinton Foundation, but after Sessions and Barr lackey Huber found *nothing*, the Kremlin thought that gambit was over. But NYT, CNN, and others just did Putin a solid by falsely reporting the issue an open one.
PS10/ All this on a day when the *only* news focused on should have been that Trump is plotting a coup of our government if he loses the election. Instead, we get "trending" what is effectively a Trump-Kremlin infomercial for Trump's re-election. Again: I am *so* angry right now.

(📢) NEW at PROOF: This is my most important report on Elon Musk as a Musk biographer.

Read this and you’ll understand the man.

“Two Essays From Longtime Musk Friends Have Just Revealed Musk’s Supervillain Origin Story” (🔗):

Warning: dark stuff inside. sethabramson.substack.com/p/two-viral-es…Image
(Elon is throttling this feed. If you want anyone to see this new report, please RETWEET the post above.)
1/ One of the things that most surprised me about these revelations is how a number of them relate to the current nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the support Elon Musk has for it. As well as the support he had for Kennedy becoming President of the United States.

Here it is: the new PROOF report on Musk. Massive, fully sourced, horrifying. The silver lining is that what Musk is up to and what he wants is becoming clearer.

🔗:

Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with caring about children—he doesn’t and never has. sethabramson.substack.com/p/elon-musk-ma…Image
1/ What I want to underscore about my work as an Elon Musk biographer is that it’s never my intention to suggest Mr. Musk is playing 4D chess.

To be a Musk biographer not writing hagiographies is to be singularly unimpressed with his apparent average intelligence. But that said:
2/ When you’re the richest and most powerful man on Earth, the field that you’re playing on—not as a matter of how you play it—is just different.

Elon Musk has resources that no one else can imagine, and therefore he is able to have ambitions that few others could or would dare.

This motherf***** couldn't tell you what DEI is if his f****** life depended on it

Stop paying attention to people who have no f****** expertise in the s*** they are talking about

Just because someone says something that makes you feel good does not mean it has f****** value
America is in the shitter because we have people who have never read the Constitution talking about the Constitution, people who do not know what the Second Amendment says talking about the Second Amendment, and people pretending to know what Marxism and socialism are who do not.
Maybe one in 100 people on this f****** hellsite talking about CRT know what it is.

Maybe one in 100 people on this f****** hellsite talking about the Green New Deal know what it is.

MAGA is weakness. It is foisting your stupidity on the world because you simply cannot face it.

Bezos is paying the Trumps $40 million to make a documentary on Melania that no one asked for or wants and is certain to obscure any interesting fact—like her initial immigration status, whether her marriage is a sham, Trump’s affairs—a viewer might want.

Seems like... Bribery?
To put this in perspective—I’ll use myself as an example only because I know my situation best—I wrote the largest number of bestsellers about Trump of any author (tied with Woodward). Do you think Bezos—who follows me on Twitter—would pay $40 million for the rights? Or even $40?
My point isn’t about me. I make no effort to shop the Proof Series rights.

My point is Bezos knows me: and I know, he knows, everyone knows he could get rights to a 3,500-page bestselling epic on the Trumps for 400K—1% of what he’s paying for Melania’s lies—and it won’t happen.

I have no quarrel with Tosca, but she's not objective in this.

Many people are worried about Musk, and my opinion—just as a person, rather than a historian, attorney, journalist, retired professor, editor, author, and biographer of her brother—is that he needs his family's help. Image
I'm not a doctor, psychologist or psychiatrist; my PhD is nonmedical. But I was also a public defender for years and years, so I have worked for and with and around individuals suffering from mental illness more than most readers will know. Musk is acting in a very troubling way.
His employees came close to calling in a police-conducted wellness check, per a recent book. He has admitted to both being mentally ill and being under medical supervision for it via experimental drug therapy. He has admitted to crippling stress. And he is acting in a manic way.

I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad. I'm a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he's admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell.
His private struggles would not be of general concern except they have dramatic public consequences.

His holdings across many civilization-essential industries and the fact that he's the incoming POTUS mean that his madness and increasing incitement of violence endanger us all.
For 14 days more the administration is in a position to take urgent action to protect America from Elon Musk. That could include ending all U.S. contracts with him, filing lawsuits to block his unconstitutional DOGE initiative, and launching new federal and natsec investigations.
