(1 of 2) Paul Manafort—a longtime associate of Howard Liebengood Sr.—is an exec at Event Strategies, which planned the 1/6 rally that ended with a breach of security at the Capitol, where Howard Liebengood Jr. worked security (USCP). 2 days later Liebengood Jr. committed suicide.
(2 of 2) I believe this is a coincidence. That said, because I don't think Manafort aiding and abetting a rally that ended in insurrection is coincidence, I have to assume that—out of an abundance of caution—law enforcement will investigate any possible Manafort-Liebengood link.
(PS) It is vital that no one presume connections where there may be none. My point is that as a criminal investigative matter, Manafort will be investigated for any role he had in the Save America March, and Liebengood's suicide would naturally be investigated due to its context.
(PS2) I'm sure there'll be those who say that a Donald Trump event giving tons of money to a company that enriches Paul Manafort at a time when Trump continues to need Manafort to stay quiet and Manafort is having money problems is a mere coincidence.

*That* I do not agree with.
(PS3) By the same token, as a federal criminal investigative matter, when you are about to have numerous investigations into whether security at a government building had been pre-compromised and someone who worked security at that building commits suicide, it gets investigated.
(PS4) So it's only natural to say that if there's a potential association between two necessary investigations, it's something that might be briefly looked at. And all the more so due to the Manafort-January 6, Manafort-Stone, Stone-Proud Boy, and Proud Boy-January 6 connections.
(PS5) I think it's certainly a bridge too far to note that Manafort's former boss, Putin, is known for killing people and making it look like a suicide. But it's Trump and Manafort's fault that all Americans have this awareness of suspicious suicides that we didn't have pre-2015.
(PS6) Do I think there was a conspiracy behind January 6? Absolutely—that's what Ali Alexander has already said, and what many members of Congress have said publicly they believe. But I have no reason whatsoever to think Liebengood was involved. I won't say the same for Manafort.

(DOCUMENT4) For what it's worth—likely nothing, beyond being a curiosity—this is the most famous suspected assassination that Putin made look like a suicide.

It happened in Washington, D.C. while Trump was a presidential candidate. Image
(DOCUMENT5) Far more relevant is that Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners and Trump associates, and that Stone invented "Stop the Steal" even as Manafort's company produced the most significant event ever held under the "Stop the Steal" mantra—the January 6 "rally." Image
(NOTE) Those who've read the Proof trilogy—Proof of Collusion (2018), Proof of Conspiracy (2019), and Proof of Corruption (2020)—will already know this, but in 2005-2006 Paul Manafort signed a contract to advance Putin's interests in the US. It's unknown if the contract persists.

This is the serial child rapist the Dear Leader is about to pardon to save himself.

Any MAGA providing rhetorical cover for Donald Trump as he seeks to cover up years of pimping teens—teens he'd fed booze and drugs—at the Plaza Hotel in the 1990s is as good as a pedo themselves.
Trump had his own teen rape victim procurer. He even turned his sex trafficking ring at the Plaza into a business that thereafter was accused of human rights violations by its workers—who deemed themselves slaves. What Epstein did in FL Trump not only allowed but mirrored in NYC.
All this is based on existing reporting. I've compiled hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of reliable major-media sources on these matters into PROOF OF DEVILRY, which will be published shortly as the seventh book in the NYT-bestselling Proof Series.

Donald Trump is a pedophile.

CORRECTIONS:

(1) Trump and Epstein became friends in 1987, not 1990. The New York Times inexplicably cuts 3 years off their 17-plus-year friendship.

(2) Their friendship did *not* end because Epstein was a creep. It ended over a Florida real estate deal. nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/…
To the credit of the NYT, it does eventually clarify Point #2 in the report.

I do wish it spent more time on the fact that an anonymous person dimed out Epstein after Trump got angry at Epstein over the real estate deal in 2004—and that Trump has a history of diming people out.
That question alone could change everything.

If in fact Trump extended his long history of being a disgusting snitch only when it personally benefits him by reporting Epstein to the police in 2004—or having an agent do it—it would confirm he knew exactly what Epstein was up to.

Everyone in America needs to read this FREE—I’ve gifted it below—report from the conservative WALL STREET JOURNAL about Trump and Epstein.

Apparently the president has now threatened to sue the WSJ over this 100% accurate report due to how damaging it is.

Holy actual literal shit OMG Image
By the way, the answer to the riddle in the note (in effect, “What do you get for men [Trump and Epstein] who have everything?”) is “You get them something one isn’t *allowed* to have.”

Trump then writes that he and Epstein have the thing they want in common—and it “never ages.”

Can I make the blindingly obvious observation that now that we know Trump and his crew doctored the Epstein video we can't possibly trust that anything else they release will be all they actually have?

Wouldn't you just assume documents are being *burned and shredded* right now?
Like aren't we actually past the point of no return here? The second we learned that they cut out 3 minutes from the Epstein video and tried to pass it off as a legitimate piece of evidence, wasn't that pretty much the end of any Epstein credibility for the whole administration?
You don't have to be a former federal investigator to know that every moment between the release of that fake video and the inevitable future decision by Trump to release "everything" was a moment that Trump goons at DOJ/FBI spent destroying evidence that didn't center Democrats

What would Trump do if this song went viral today?
WARNING: This song goes hard and makes no apologies.
LYRICS:

Gather round and I'll tell you of two Florida men
Who for twenty or so years were the best of friends
One of them ended up mysteriously dead
While the other one sleeps in a White House bed

I have no difficulty saying that Trump and Musk caused some of the 50+ flood deaths in Texas.

And here's why: these two men with no expertise in disaster preparedness were told not to cut the positions they cut, and were told people would die if they did.

And then people died. Image
Moreover, Democrats are never going to start winning elections again until they're willing to call a thing just what it is.

Texas Democrats should be clear and persistent in saying that public service cuts overseen by non-experts desperate for billionaire tax cuts killed people.
And if Republicans respond by saying that Democrats are politicizing these deaths, the Democrats should respond: THAT'S BECAUSE THE DEATHS ARE POLITICAL. POLITICIANS CAUSED THEM.
