The Trump-Ukraine scandal we were told not to focus on beyond a single call—and which I wrote a bestseller on—had as its aim the theft of the election. Guess who PROOF OF CORRUPTION said was at the plot’s heart?

Perry.

Maybe media should read the book? cnn.com/2021/12/17/pol…

Most Americans will have no idea of the significance of this Rick Perry text, because major media did nothing to inform them of the sprawling Trump-Ukraine scandal aimed at the heart of the 2020 election. Media deemed the story too complex to report—now we’ll all suffer for that.

Perry’s job was to help Trump bribe foreign officials into publishing info about Biden they knew was false—thereby helping Trump steal the election. Here, Perry is aiding a foreign national-supported coup by embracing disinformation and implying Trump is above the law.

Get it?

Perry lied about his role in the Trump-Ukraine scandal. And here he is lying about his role in the coup that that scandal was intended to aid. In both cases, he was in regular contact with the White House as he arguably committed crimes. Maybe major media should’ve cared earlier?

As I’ve written repeatedly, there’s a small group of men Trump trusts to commit crimes on his behalf. The same men reappear in each Trump scandal and are never held accountable, which propels them into the next scandal. They’ll keep doing so as long as US “rule of law” is a joke.

Meanwhile, most U.S. news consumers/voters will have no idea of what’s going on because major media doesn’t draw lines between any of the stories it reports. So everything appears random and disconnected to Americans—when we’re actually at the mercy of a small group of criminals.

Almost every major figure in my book on the Trump-Ukraine scandal and the early days of the pandemic resurfaced just before or just after the election as part of the coup plot.

Anyone who actually followed the Trump-Ukraine scandal knew all of the men and what they aimed to do.

Want more proof? We know of at least six coup memos widely circulated within the Republican Party as it pretended it had *no idea* of what was coming on January 6. One of those memos was written by Joseph Schmitz. If you read PROOF OF COLLUSION (2018), you know exactly who he is.

So what was Schmitz doing in 2015 and 2016? The same thing Perry was in 2019 and 2020: seeking to work with foreign nationals to spread disinformation about the Democratic candidate that would lead to the theft of a national election. And there he was in 2020, writing coup memos.

You may recall me yelling on Twitter in 2017-18 about how the national security investigation looking into Schmitz had to become a *criminal* investigation—lest Schmitz and his coconspirators face no punishment. We lost that fight, so Schmitz continued doing what he’d been doing.

The men now destroying our nation have been working for a long time on the project, and it has been made clear to them by federal prosecutors' inaction that they’ve a green light to continue their activities.

And so they will—in predictable ways—until our democracy is destroyed.
