The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

Trump on what he told Vivek Ramaswamy about his vile ad: "I told him, Leave it up! And look upstairs and say, Thank you God very much, I appreciate it!"

Ed Emmett, former Republican House member and Harris County Judge, is angry with what has happened to the Party in Texas. He encourages Republican voters not to vote a straight ticket, especially at the top. He says “After spending my adult life helping to build the Republican Party in Texas and Harris County, working alongside candidates, officeholders and armies of volunteers, I am disgusted by the self-inflicted damage being done to my party. This damage is not only hurting our candidates during this election cycle, but is undermining our next generation of voters. 

This damage is being done by candidates for major offices who refuse to address the issues of importance to voters and don't even have the courage to engage in debate with opponents. This sort of candidate is an embarrassment.”

Trump’s oil deal with Venezuela was negotiated in secret. Now we know why. The contract just leaked, and it doesn’t say what Trump says it says. 

What it does say is that we bought 35 percent of a company for a penny a share. The company is run by Alejandro Betancourt, a Venezuelan businessman who’s been investigated for money laundering in Switzerland, Spain, and the United States. DOJ officials reportedly asked foreign governments to close those investigations and let him travel.

The parent company is registered through a Barbados shell, so nobody can see who the other owners are. Any dispute goes to a court in Texas. One person involved said it was built to insulate the deal from future administrations.

The company pumps about 200,000 barrels a day. America burns through that in 15 minutes. If this were a good deal, they wouldn’t have had to hide it. I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband.

Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

[Leslie Marshall @LeslieMarshall]

Because she was a 12 year old child when she was raped!!?

INTERCEPTORS FAIL: Terrifying footage from July shows U.S. troops racing for cover at Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates as an Iranian missile evades air defenses and strikes dangerously close to American personnel.

Surprise surprise.

Enough Promises Ohio, the new super PAC promoting a third-party, sociliast candidate in Ohio's Senate race, is entirely funded by Conservative Americans PAC, per new filing.

That's the main GOP group that has been proudly doing "meddling" to hurt Democrats.

The Department of Justice’s new fraud whistleblower scheme has instantly backfired, with Americans bombarding it with demands to investigate Trump.

The humanitarian Putin bombed more civilians today. Maybe Witkoff should spend a couple weeks in Kyiv to see first hand how much of a humanitarian his friend in Moscow is.

Ken Paxton voted to fund government contracts with the company WatchGuard.

He then made $2.2 million off his investment in the company.

Russia has hit Kyiv, Ukraine, with at least 6 ballistic missiles within the last 30 minutes, targeting 3 million civilians and infrastructure, after meeting with Trump's lapdog Witkoff, who praised Putin as a humanitarian and saluted him on behalf of the rogue United States.
