  2. What’s the saying, “got me once, shame on you, and got me twice, shame on me”?

    What does it say about MAGA supporters?

  4. i believe it was Jacqueline Sweet of the Guardian that broke this story.

    she deserves a Pulitzer nomination

  5. > Economic Transformation Technologies (ETT), the company, paid Alexander Smirnov, the once-FBI informant, $600,000 in September 2020, a February court filing states, reported The Guardian.
    >
    > This hefty payment was made “in exchange for a stake in an Israel-based crypto trading platform” that Mr Smirnov was trying to launch, the Wall Street Journal reported in February.

    It’s like a Russian nesting doll of scams, sheesh. But it also points out a very suspicious, yet unsurprising, shift in Smirnov around the time:

    >The document also notes that months prior, in June, Mr Smirnov first began telling “fabrications” to the agency. Mr Smirnov has since been charged for these lies.

  6. Note that this is an additional connection to Trump separate from the Russian Intelligence connection. The Venn diagram is just a circle.

  7. Clearly Trump and his cohorts are up to a lot of shady shit these days. It even seems individuals like Judge Cannon are coordinating with him. It seems like they are still up to their old criminal says. Is there no one watching any of this? 

  8. This should be a mega thread but everyone is numb to all this. 

  9. Republicans who support Trump should all be treated as traitors to the nation. Fucking deplorable!

  10. From the article, “A judge ruled that Smirnov, who was arrested in February twice for having “provided false derogatory information” to agents about President Biden and Hunter Biden, must remain behind bars until his trial. He has pleaded not guilty.”

    Hopefully he will live to tell the tale.

  12. Only Trump could get caught paying a Russian to lie to the FBI through a money-laundering crypto *start-up*. The same informant GOP congressional liars are falling over themselves to say is innocent of lying to investigators after he was charged.

  16. As a non American I still cannot believe that your constitution allows a person who is so utterly corrupt & compromised to hold or even run for the office of President.
    I honestly cannot get my head around it.

  23. I thought we already knew the FBI guy was tied to Russia…

  24. Let’s hope he rats out “45” and whichever family members or staff are involved.

  25. Poor Donald. It is a witch hunt against someone so incorruptible as Trump. /s
