#SeditionHunters know the Capitol attack was organized. The J6 Committee knows too. Rep. Zoe Lofgren: "There was a planning. There was a purpose. And we are going to uncover all of that." Consider - if the attack had succeeded, how world events might be unfolding now... 1/
There are too many links between the Capitol attack & Ukraine. From Russia this week: Maria Butina, convicted foreign agent, honeypot with ties to J6 figures, now a Duma Rep, shows how to draw the fascist "Z" on your jacket to support invading Ukraine..2/
Maria Butina famously seduced Patrick Byrne, faithful henchman for former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Here's Byrne at Flynn's side at the 'dry run' rally in DC on Dec 12. Six days later, both men were in the Oval Office pushing Trump to green-light Jan 6. 3/
Butina & Byrne's back-stories are in our "VIP Timeline" that tracks the influencers who gathered the crowds in DC for Jan 6. Butina was deported late 2019, quickly took a job at Russian media outlet RT, a main source of pro-invasion propaganda now. 4/
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Russian outlets RT, Sputnik News are all over the timeline, often providing the first 'journalism' jobs for the J6 influencers. UW Prof. Kate Starbird has shown the same outlets were central to propaganda on Syria, along with Russia Insider & Mint Press, also connected to J6. 5/
Russian media actively promoted white supremacist movements in the US. Sputnik News hired far-right influencer Cassandra Fairbanks; Russia Insider supported the neo-Nazi Identity Evropa group - whose leader was at the Capitol on J6, as was RI's editor. 6/
lancasteronline.com/news/politics/…
Mint Press shows up as a timeline source: 3 weeks after Jan 6, Dan Cohen (formerly RT), published an article pushing the Oath Keepers as responsible - & drawing attention away from the Proud Boys who led the attack. Cohen is now posting about Ukraine... 7/
mintpressnews.com/us-backed-coup…
Here's Dan Cohen of Russia-associated Mint Press mocking Ukraine's President Zelenskyy & his army. Cohen's pinned Tweet is a thread lauding an anti-vaxx rally and the "global medical freedom movement": another big theme in the divisive disinfo being pushed onto the US. 8/
In case Cohen's intent wasn't clear, here he is on Mar 6 calling Ukrainians "Nazi[s] and jihadist[s]", and linking them to Colombian death squads. The US is a proud bastion of free speech - but we must now decide how to combat the paid disinfo tearing us apart. 9/

To all marveling at photos of NYT columnist David Brooks dining with Jeffrey Epstein, 2 years after Epstein finished his sentence for procuring a child for prostitution, here's what it was: the 2011 "Edge Billionaire's Dinner". Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were there too. 1/ Image
Image
The Edge founder John Brockman was lauded for his "discerning taste in the choice of participants." Funny how the photos he posted - the same as in the Epstein files - highlight so many luminaries but leave out convicted felon & registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 2/ Image
The NYT imperiously dismissed the issue, declaring Brooks must of course dine with "noted and important business leaders". But details aren't hard to find. The Silicon Valley pantheon was there: Musk, Bezos, Brin, Mayer, Wojcicki, Mundie, Myhrvold... 3/

Chaos: two rival factions - one tied the president and one to the VP - are trying to set US policy on Ukraine, cutting out the State Dept. Each pushes Ukraine to surrender, then leaks to press to claim they are official. FT now reports Vance's faction is holding its own talks. 1/ Image
In Oct. the Trump faction - son-in-law Jared Kushner & business pal Steve Witkoff - met secretly with a Russian rep in Miami. Now the Vance faction - his Yale friend Dan Driscoll - is meeting in Abu Dhabi with Russians and a Ukrainian. Rival efforts. 2/
ft.com/content/55a9f8…
FT's source is clearly part of the Vance camp and tries to portray SecArmy Dan Driscoll, a 39-year-old former 1st lieutenant whose only qualification his friendship with Vance, as a new important conduit to Russia. FT had to ask if Ukrainians were involved at all. 3/ Image

Tony Perkins frets about "political disaster" from Trump's involvement with Epstein. Back in 2016, when Ted Cruz floundered at the polls, Perkins pushed religious-right leaders to switch to Trump, calling it a "calculated risk". How does that calculation look now, Tony? 1/ Image
Tony Perkins was the mentor of a young Mike Johnson, an unmarried law student who had oddly taken in a young boy. Perkins knew what Johnson was, but pushed him into politics anyway. @tperkins: all this will be in the history books, as your legacy. 2/
@tperkins Before Mike Johnson ran for office, he was Dean of a new law school named for notorious pedophile Judge Paul Pressler, who preyed on young boys. Tony Perkins sat on its board. And also on the board was a relatively unknown Ted Cruz - who'd known Pressler since he was a teen. 3/ Image

Each Epstein email has so many layers of slime people miss some. This is Ken Starr, fired for covering up sexual assault, offering to help former client Jeffrey Epstein's friend's sexual harassment case by introducing him to Jed Rubenfeld, put on leave for sexual misconduct. 1/ Image
Epstein's elite world was VERY elite: Yale Law prof Jed Rubenfeld's wife Amy Chua, also a Yale Law prof, was the mentor of Yale Law student JD Vance. Ken Starr was the mentor of Yale Law grad Brett Kavanaugh, also accused of sexual assault but now seated on the Supreme Court. 2/ Image
Ken Starr, despite his long trail of sexual grossness, cosplayed as a warrior for an also-gross sexual prudishness. He and Brett Kavanaugh went after Bill Clinton (a visitor to Epstein's island) for oral sex with an intern. Kavanaugh came up with the graphic sexual questions. 3/ Image

One fascinating thing in the Epstein email drop is an exchange around Trump's election in 2016. It suggests a tense, ongoing relationship, and Epstein's power.

Part 1, Sept 23: Linda Stone jokes that Epstein will get a cabinet position if Trump wins. Like Trump owes him. 1/ Image
Backing up: the exchange is with Linda Stone, a tech exec who'd known Epstein since the 1990s: she brokered his entrance into academia, linked him with scientists. In 2016 they were close enough to be chatty, far enough to go months between emails. 2/
politico.com/news/magazine/…
Part 2, Sept. 26: three days after Stone asked Epstein if Trump could win, he answers: "too soon to tell, we will know more come oct 15". He doesn't explain: what would he learn then? Meanwhile Stone isn't even sure if Epstein supports Trump: "Which team you pulling for?" 3/ Image

This week in Trump-Epstein: first @JSweetLI IDs the 14-year-old girl Epstein brought to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump in 1994. Then the House Dems release an email where Epstein says Trump hung out at his house with underaged girls: "[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him" 1/ Image
Image
in short: Trump spent so much time with Epstein and underaged girls that even Epstein couldn't figure out how it wasn't news!

And a recurring theme: the underaged "Jane" was then entered in Trump's beauty pageant - like Erika Kirk and Lindsay Halligan. 2/
jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/what-happene…Image
"Jane", who testified she'd been abused by Epstein, was entered in Trump's pageants in the 1990s, long before Kirk and Halligan in 2009. Still, it's odd how so many women in Trump's circle had walked the stage in front of him as barely-clad teenagers. 3/
