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.
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.

This was a potential outcome discussed at length in my pinned report.
The Court demands signs of effort but not a result—a win for the Trump administration, as it appears to confirm its theory that Bukele has control over anyone on his soil.
Do be careful in reading analysis of this case. Casual observers who aren't familiar with it will tell you this was a win for Garcia—and it certainly will be if Trump and his pal in El Salvador decide to save his life. But as a matter of the law going forward, this is a disaster.
The legal question was whether a human body comes under the control of a foreign dictator the moment that body is put on a plane to that country and the plane leaves the ground.
The implication of this decision is that the answer is yes. Which means the disappearances can start.
They didn't even care enough about the American economy to do any of the work themselves.
It almost feels... impeachable?
How could sloppily using AI to create domestic policy, then hiding it, be consistent with the Oath of Office? theverge.com/news/642620/tr…
This explains everything. The bad tariff math, placing tariffs on uninhabited islands, the odd errors that keep popping up in administration texts, the fact that Musk has said he wants to replace the humans in our government with AI, the fact that he *runs an AI company*.... JFC!
So much makes sense now. The website deletions that seem based on the most imbecilic reading of search results, the bizarrely high number of EOs, the obsession with the idea that people don't matter because AI can do everything in government... few if any humans are at the wheel!
Musk is now a bigger fount for toxic, self-aggrandizing bullshit than P.T. Barnum ever was.
He’s an utter 🤡—and that’s both a historical and provable fact. There’s nothing non-journalistic about observing when a man has become infamous for his rank nonsense and foolish gambits.
But that’s only the start of the story.
PROOF has outlined—with full sourcing—how Musk for years avoided politics on the advice of his father, and for years avoided revealing his far-right ideologies for fear they would destroy his business empire.
He was right. It’s happening.
In other words, he *knew* his far-right ideologies would be grotesque to consumers.
He *knew* that if he entered politics in America, those ideologies would cause him to become an instant target for hate from a majority of patriotic Americans—who unlike him believe in democracy.
Musk has been told—repeatedly—that this is a lie. The global population is rising and will continue to rise until 2100, then it’ll decline slightly. Many countries, JUST NOT MAJORITY WHITE ONES, have over-replacement birth rates. Musk focuses on a small number of white nations.
So no, there are NO experts in this field who agree humanity is dying. There are NO experts who have a longterm underpopulation concern. There are NO experts who agree with Musk. The ONLY people concerned are white supremacists who worry white nations may become SLIGHTLY smaller.
But his lie is worse than this. He KNOWS and has been TOLD that rich, developed, often—but certainly not exclusively—majority-white nations see a birth rate decline BECAUSE of their wealth. That’s normal. It does not mean those nations will collapse, just reduce slightly in size.
1. Elon Musk has many biographers; none are “official.” 2. I’m a Musk biographer; I don’t use Musk as a source because he’s a known pathological liar. 3. My second Musk biography (first is below) arrives in 2026.
4. Grok is aware I’m a Musk biographer, as is the world (see my bio excerpt below, from my website). But Grok, by Musk’s design, sometimes struggles to access Substack—which confuses it about my status. 5. I’m a multiple-time NYT-bestselling biographer of public figures.

6. Elongelicals have a favorite Musk biographer—Isaacson—as Walt tells them what they want to hear. He just repeats what Elon says and is himself a fanboy. My methodology is different: I’m a curatorial journalist. 7. You want fan-fiction? Go with Walt. For the truth, me.
