‼️A report on the origins of #COVID19 by US govt national lab @Livermore_Lab says the hypothesis that the #coronavirus leaked from a Chinese lab in Wuhan is “plausible and deserves further investigation,” per people familiar with the classified document.
⚠️Highly eminent virologists—including Dr. Baric who worked with the#Wuhan lab that conducted “gain-of-function” research on coronaviruses—recently stated that both zoonotic origin and lab leak are "viable.” science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

🔥The @BostonGlobe Editorial Board calls on @TheJusticeDept to prosecute Trump CRIMINALLY: Saving American democracy for the long run requires a clear condemnation of the Trump presidency. That means making clear that no one is above the law.
“After the precedent-busting, lawbreaking presidency of Donald Trump, Congress needs to pass new laws to constrain future officeholders...Presidents also need a clear message, one that will echo through history, that breaking the law in the Oval Office will actually be punished.”
“In the case of Trump, prosecutors would have plenty of potential crimes...what is most important are his actions during his time in office, especially those after the 2020 election, which culminated in fomenting a full-on, violent assault on American democracy.”
🔥The FBI took control of an encrypted communications app called '#Anom' and turned it into a honeypot for crooks, netting more than 20 million messages from over 11,800 devices used by suspected criminals.
The FBI, #Australian Federal Police & a confidential human source built #Anom so that a master key is silently attached to each message, enabling "law enforcement to decrypt & store the message as it’s transmitted.
Operation #TrojanShield captured >20 million messages since October 2019, including OVERT DISCUSSION of drug smuggling, #corruption, and other high-level organized criminal activities.
No one of the 25 richest avoided as much tax as Warren Buffett, who paid a 0.1% total tax rate.
Many paid ZERO income taxes several years:
George Soros 3 times
Jeff Bezos and Carl Icahn twice — Bezos one year even got a $4000 child tax credit
Elon Musk and Mike Bloomberg once
Megabillionaires pay their megabills—while opting for $1 salaries and hanging onto their stock—by borrowing LOTS of money to access billions without producing income, and thus, AVOIDING income tax.
🚨BREAKING: The FBI is investigating @USPS Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in connection with alleged ILLEGAL campaign fundraising activity involving his former business.
Prosecutors also issued a subpoena to DeJoy himself for information.😎
.@washingtonpost published how employees at DeJoy’s former company say they were pressured by DeJoy or his aides to attend political fundraisers or make contributions to @GOP candidates, and then were reimbursed via bonuses.
5 people who worked for Dejoy's firm New Breed Logistics said they were pressured by DeJoy or his aides to write checks & attend fundraisers at his mansion. 2 employees said DeJoy then instructed that bonus payments be boosted to help defray the cost of their contributions.🧐
🔥Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Matt Gaetz *obstructed justice* during a phone call he had with a witness in the child #SexTrafficking case being built against him.
The obstruction probe stems from a phone call the witness had w/Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend (fmr Capitol Hill intern), who patched Gaetz into the call—Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend & the witness are friends with the trafficked girl.
Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend, who was on the call in question, is seeking an #immunity deal from prosecutors and has expressed fears that she may have obstructed justice. She told friends that she feared the alleged trafficking victim may have recorded her in another phone call.🧐
🚨BREAKING: hackers linked to #Russian🇷🇺intel have breached @USAID’s @ConstantContact account in an ONGOING ATTACK to send spearphishing emails to >3,000 accounts at >150 organizations—many such groups have been critical of Putin’s human rights violations. nytimes.com/2021/05/28/us/…
Microsoft says #Nobelium is behind the attack—the same #Russian🇷🇺hackers behind the #SolarWinds hack that was the work of the SVR, a spinoff from the KGB.
The SVR was behind the hack of the @DNC in 2016, and attacks on the Pentagon, the WH email system and the State Department🤬
#Russia’s🇷🇺latest cyberattack began after @POTUS imposed new sanctions on #Russian individuals and assets for the #SolarWinds cyberattack—including restrictions on purchasing #Russia’s sovereign debt, making it more difficult for Russia to raise money & support its currency.
