1.6 BILLION

A TSUNAMI of DARK MONEY is flooding our justice system — and it's only getting worse

A new conservative nonprofit group scored a $1.6 billion windfall last year via a little-known donor…The source of the money was #BarreSeid

#MOG

The beneficiary of that unprecedented sum is a newly-created political group controlled by #LeonardLeo, a right-wing activist with deep connections to Republican donors and politicians, as well as conservative forces within the Roman Catholic Church… he STACKED the SUPREME COURT
To say that Seid's donation will allow Leo to double down on that effort may be an understatement. (Can one "quadruple down"?) The Times noted, moreover, that the source of these funds is "difficult to trace through public records."

This Could Be Huge

The #FCC Is Investigating American Media And Other Companies For RUSSIAN OWNERSHIP TIES

Pro-Russia #FoxNews has raised suspicion. Any companies that are found to have ownership ties to Russia could be deemed a security threat

It also covers a vast array of telecommunications and infrastructure companies, including wireless providers, submarine cable operators, and foreign telecom services that connect US-international phone calls, the person said.

Any companies that have ownership ties to Russia could be deemed a security threat to the #US and could be subject to BEING SHUT DOWN and kicked out of the #US

There are likely some conservative media companies that should be very nervous about what the #FCC review could find.

United States v. Donald Trump
By #BarbaraMcQuade

McQuade said that based on public reporting and Jan. 6 documents, "I think there's a strong case both as to what Trump did, and what his intent was."

Trump should be charged with two federal crimes

#MOG justsecurity.org/80308/united-s…
Prosecution memos are prepared by attorneys in criminal cases at the #DOJ to summarize the evidence and their legal theories for prosecution.
They enable supervisors in the chain of command to review the evidence, anticipate defenses, and assess the strengths and weaknesses...

MORE FLYNN TREASON?

GOP candidate claims #Flynn hoped to blackmail US officials into pro-Trump 'audits'

His #PatriotCaucus approached #EverettStern, offering to hire his firm to gather "dirt" on officials and recruit others to assist in the plot.

#MOG
alternet.org/2021/11/michae…
"They wanted to gather intelligence on senators, judges, congressmen, state reps, to move them towards the audit," Stern said. "The word 'move' was emphasized… they wanted was to extort and to literally move people towards the audit with dirt."

#MOG
#LockFlynnUp
#PatriotCaucus apparently wanted Stern to focus on two Republican state officials in particular: Sen. Toomey and Rep. Fitzpatrick

"He said to me, 'PA GOP better move towards the audit, or we will crush them’”

#ClaremontInstitute planned using cops to overturn Trump’s election loss

They published a report in mid-October 2020 that gamed out a scenario where Trump would remain in office through an alliance between law enforcement and militant extremists

#MOG
rawstory.com/claremont-inst…
The report prepared by #Eastman, who authored a memo laying out another strategy for keeping Trump in office, and former advisor #McFarland, #KevinRoberts, then-executive director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, #JeffGiesea and right-wing blogger #CharlesHaywood
The report is an instruction manual for how Trump partisans at all levels of government — aided by citizen 'posses' of #ProudBoys and #OathKeepers — could, quite literally, round up opposition activists, KILL THEIR LEADERS, and install Trump for a second term in office

Are Trump and his associates guilty of mass murder?

+700,000 people have died an agonizing, terrifying, drowning-in-their-own-fluids death, their relatives helpless, saying goodbye using Zoom or FaceTime

#MOG
rawstory.com/are-trump-and-…
Families broken and shattered; husbands, wives, children and grandchildren left bereft; doctors, nurses, and physicians assistants dying along with them or holding their hands as they draw their final, tortured breath. Many of those deaths were absolutely unnecessary.

#MOG
If you or I made any decision, grounded in the desire to gain a political or other type of benefit, that caused even one single person to die we'd be on our way to prison.

Look at people who simply decide to text while driving…and then kill a pedestrian. Prison.

How Big Pharma DELIVERED CAMPAIGN CASH to key lawmakers with surgical precision

The pharmaceutical industry there is one agenda: Heading off Medicare drug price negotiation, which it considers an existential threat to its business model.

#MOG khn.org/news/article/p…
Campaign donations to members of Congress — which must be reported to the Federal Election Commission — are the tip of the iceberg, signaling far greater activity in influence peddling that includes spending millions on lobbying activities and advertising campaigns.

#MOG
Pharmaceutical companies and their lobbying groups gave roughly $1.6 million to lawmakers during the first six months of 2021, with Republicans accepting $785,000 and Democrats $776,200, the Pharma Cash to Congress database shows.
