(THREAD) It's time to tell the biggest untold story of the 2016 election: how a cadre of pro-Trump FBI agents and intel officers—some active, some retired—conspired to swing the election to Trump. The story involves Flynn, Prince, Giuliani, and others. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ True Pundit is a pro-Trump fake news site that began publishing on June 9, 2016—the day that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort met with Kremlin agents in Trump Tower to discuss the Kremlin's provision to the Trump campaign of incriminating material on Clinton.

Here's a list of all the places Trump is building concentration camps to brutalize non-white men, women, and kids—including many in the US legally and some who are citizens.

Most will be sent to die in places they've never been to or to be tortured by Trump pals.

# = Prisoners. Image

As this data from the NYT shows, Donald Trump can already kidnap 31,000 adults and kids *at a time* and hold them in WWII-era concentration camp conditions before dumping them homeless and penniless in a foreign country where they do not speak the language and do not know anyone.
And those are the lucky prisoners. Many of the inmates—and remember, publicly released data shows that about 90% of these folks have *no violence in their history whatsoever*—will be sent to countries run by Trump's friends, where they will be caged and tortured purely for sport.

I understand MAGAs have no interest in how laws work until they affect them, but the rest of us do: we need to know if ICE engaged in a pursuit, and if so whether this man was wanted for a status offense or serious crime.

If the former, ICE caused this.
nytimes.com/2026/02/16/us/…
ICE has regs on vehicular pursuit for this very reason: because a nonviolent person with little criminal justice interaction is likely to be so terrified if chased they'll endanger the community by accident.

If ICE knew this was a status offense, there should have been no chase.
What MAGAs say—but only if it doesn't affect them—is we should put ourselves in the shoes of ICE officers.

No—not how a civil society works.

If you have a license to kill, you have to be trained and abide by your training.

ICE officers *aren't* situated the same as you and me.

BREAKING: We now have a good idea of why Trump rushed to contact PBPD—one of the first to do so—when he learned Epstein was under investigation in 2007.

It was a CYA. Per his friend Lutnick, it was believed Epstein had blackmail on men he'd hung out with. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Trump knew Epstein was angry over the 2003 money-laundering deal Trump did with a Putin agent—stealing the property from Epstein—and knew Trump then dimed him out anonymously in 2003.

Trump figured if he got to PBPD fast, they'd think any videos of him Epstein offered were fake.
This maneuver by Trump is so old and so obvious that it's literally the focal point of perhaps the most famous scene in the most famous movie ever made.

The best part?

Trump flubbed his lines, telling PBPD that "everyone" knew what Epstein was doing.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump Personal Lawyers Bondi, Blanche, and Patel Hid From American Voters a *Minimum* of *95%* of All References to Donald Trump in the Epstein Files (950,000 of 1M+), Establishing the Largest Political Coverup in American History axios.com/2026/02/10/tru…
As a Trump biographer/presidential hisrorian who has written a book on Trump and Epstein establishing that the two operated distinct but mutually beneficial—sometimes interconnected—trafficking operations, I took guff for estimating Trump would appear in the Files 50,000+ times.
Critics said there was no way that was possible. So I want to do here what I know those critics won't and apologize. I low-balled how entwined Trump was with Epstein to a degree that is almost numerically difficult to express. They were even more joined at the hip than I thought.

Imagine being a 42 year-old pleading with a known pedophilic sex criminal to fly you to his island so you can party with girls he assures you will be 25 or younger.

Then imagine lying about it to hundreds of millions. Even after your lies are caught.

You don't hate Elon enough.
Instead of saying—as honor demands—"I made horrible mistakes for which there's no excuse, I'll take time away from public life to reflect on them," he's kept lying, attacked media, tried to distract, and obscenely said he worked harder than Epstein's victims to get the Files out.
Now imagine that this happens during the same 12-month period this man gleefully—without having any idea what he was doing, or even *caring* if he had any idea—cut a massive foreign aid program whose erasure is projected to cause *more than 10 million deaths* in the years ahead.

This major report on the Greg Bovino-to-Tom Homan handover in Minneapolis at once reveals that the Trump regime hasn’t changed its plans for ICE *and* serves as a primer on the many aspects of the criminal justice system Homan lied about today.

🔗:

RT! sethabramson.substack.com/p/trump-border…Image
It can't be sufficiently emphasized that the Trump regime has at all points lied about every aspect of its immigration agenda, every aspect of how immigration enforcement works and every aspect of the justice system that touches upon immigration enforcement.

It's all a long con.
No one is saying that every American must understand the justice system.

That would be ideal, but it's impractical.

The problem is that our justice system lies at the center of our politics—which means ignorance about how it works is ripe for abuse by an authoritarian regime.
