(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.

Trump is withholding tens of millions in disaster relief because he had Noem institute a reg at DHS that says she must approve major expenditures. And right now all she's approving is massive weapons purchases and a fuck plane for her and Corey. Where do YOU think this is headed?
When I say we're witnessing evil, I'm comfortable writing that as a journalist. Trump and his minions are letting U.S. citizens die so they can stockpile weapons in preparation for martial law while buying themselves toys to facilitate their adulteries.

What would YOU call that?
So let me say something else I know every journalist believes. If a Democratic president were doing even 33% of what Donald Trump is doing, this nation would be in the midst of a civil war. Not a cold civil war—a hot one.

Gunfire in the streets.

But Democrats are not like that.

This isn't a teaser—it's just an acknowledgment that the next PROOF report is taking a while and there's a good reason. The Epstein Scandal isn't primarily a sex scandal. You don't understand how powerful and well-connected this man was.

This is a global scandal and it is scary.
I was in the Epstein-killed-himself camp. I am no longer. Moreover, I feel like—as a former federal criminal investigator—I have a good sense of who had him killed. They are still in power. People must prepare themselves for a sea change in how we think about the Epstein Scandal.
To be clear, I do think the evidence Trump has raped kids increasing by the day. So when I say his primary reason for wanting/needing to hide the truth of the Epstein Files—of which we're now confirmed to have seen only 2%— is geopolitical, that should tell you how scary this is.

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.

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.
