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.

If you understand that the world Trump and Musk aim to create is one in which the Democratic Party doesn't exist—indeed democracy doesn't exist—but an American Empire (with vassal states) allied with a Russian Empire, Indian Empire, Chinese Empire and Saudi Caliphate, you get it. Image
Musk isn't just an enemy of America.

It no longer suffices to call him that.

He's an enemy of Western democracy, and indeed democracy everywhere.

Read up on his guru—Curtis Yarvin—and on far-right techno-optimist transhumanism, and you will understand the evil the world faces.
What America saw yesterday in DC was a Democratic Party that supports democracy and our democratic allies in Europe while opposing the would-be Russian Empire. Every time Trump and Musk attack Europe and weaken our democracy—and democracy abroad—they reveal exactly what they are.

(📢) NATSEC COMMUNITY NOTE: Musk is confessing to beginning to blame Ukraine for a war Putin started—thus working to aid Putin—at exactly the moment he began having clandestine business and geopolitical negotiations with Putin.

He should be arrested.

1/ I used to be a federal criminal investigator. I'm now a Musk biographer who recently published a book about Musk, PROOF OF DESTRUCTION. Not a single federal criminal investigator who has researched Musk as I have would doubt that he's coordinated aiding the Kremlin since 2022.
2/ The beginning of the Musk-Putin conspiracy came shortly after Musk made associates aware he wanted to expand Tesla factories to Russia, suggesting he'd received the same business-related entreaties from Kremlin agents Trump got in 2013, 2015, and 2016. cnn.com/2021/05/21/bus…

This is one of the most shameful days in US history.

A weak, corrupt, compromised Kremlinist US president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why?

This report explains *exactly* why.

I mean it: that was one of the most distressing videos I’ve ever watched as an American.

Zelenskyy is the George Washington of Ukraine and one of the most heroic men alive. He sat through a shouted (televised) lecture by two of the _worst_ men alive.

A real-life *horror film*.
What happened today was a character litmus test.

If you watched those two weak-willed Kremlinists (Trump and Vance) and thought they were great, you’re a person of low moral character.

If it wasn’t *clear* to you who the hero in that room was—and how he was abused—shame on you.

I only went to Harvard Law and have three terminal graduate degrees, including a PhD, so I apologize if this is a question a drooling moron would ask, @yhbryankimiq, but is there a reason you do not list his accomplishments?

Is it because none are his—but those of his employees?
I know this is a difficult concept for Elongelicals, so let me use their favorite form of argument: anecdote.

I have 5 higher-ed degrees; I earned them all personally and in the shortest possible period of time.

Elon flamed out at three colleges and was *not* admitted to a PhD.
I’ve founded 4 startups: a consulting company and three media outlets, one a multimillion-dollar operation. I had no seed money for my startups but the little in my bank account.

Musk had money from his dad’s emerald mines and $300 million via Zip2—the idea for which wasn’t his.

As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher.

And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo.

There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.
Stepped away from Twitter for a number of hours—on the basis of this not being a platform worth spending time on—and came back to find this tweet went viral because Nate Silver thinks Carlyle's 1800s theory of history, the Great Man Theory, is still relevant to historians in 2025
I understand the MAGAsphere runs on dudes who stayed at a Holiday Inn last night and are now expert astrophysicists, but another possibility is Musk's biographers know him better than fanboys do, and historians know more than pollsters about history.

I mean I'm just an American lawyer, so what do I know compared to a nepo baby whose money initially came from Zambian emerald mines, but under the United States Constitution and the thousands of Supreme Court decisions interpreting it for 250 years, free speech is *not* absolute
And I guess I would add to that, @ElonMusk, that if you don't know what I just said already, while you do not *have* to shut the f*** up under the First Amendment, you absolutely *should* shut the f*** up until you know what the f*** you're talking about, you *petulant man-child*
@elonmusk MAGAism is feelings over facts

All I ever hear Trump voters say is not what is true by law but what they think *should* be true, not actually how anything works but how they *wish* it would work

When you are poorly educated and know nothing, all you have is your Big Feelings
