🚨On March 30, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Moscow couple deeply tied to the Kremlin. The husband was a former Soviet military and 'FSB' translator whose boss was FSB special forces and installed by Vladimir Putin’s childhood best friend. The wife had a stint working for the Russian Presidential Administration.

The daughter was a key figure in Epstein's inner circle for over a decade.

On this 15th anniversary of the Syrian revolution I am remembering @Anas_kharboutli. Anas was a friend of @SiegeWatch project and the last journalist killed by the Assad regime 💔

Here's the original complaint. According to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, at least 110 complaints from 40 units in 30 different locations describe receiving similar briefings from officers who say that Trump is God's anointed working to bring about Armageddon.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Several high-ranking federal election officials attended a summit last week at which prominent activists who worked to overturn Trump’s loss in the 2020 election pressed for the president to declare a national emergency to take over the midterms.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Six suspected insiders made $1.2M betting on a US strike on Iran

Most of these wallets:

• were funded in the last 24h
• specifically bet for February 28
• bought "yes" hours before the strike

Breaking WaPo:

Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

The Epstein files published by DOJ briefly mention a woman’s unverified accusation that President Trump assaulted her in the 1980s, when she was a minor. But several key FBI memos related to the woman's account have not been released.

NEW: The conspiracies are true — a small group of elites set the agenda for the country.

They're billionaires, politicians, judges and more. And they meet at private camp Bohemian Grove.

The membership is secret, but @DRBoguslaw came to us with a full list of everyone involved.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Why?

There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

We created an “alarm index” by using AI to score 1.4m emails on how disturbing their content would be to a typical reader. We also researched the backgrounds of the 500 people who appear most often. This is what we found https://t.co/dU9dA1lZKh

[Financial Times @FT]

FT Exclusive: An IT blunder has revealed an apparent smuggling ring that has moved at least $90bn of Russian oil and is playing a central role in funding the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine. https://t.co/RcgOD3wlX2

[Roger Sollenberger @SollenbergerRC]

NEW: I caught the DOJ deleting a record showing Ghislaine Maxwell has potential blackmail on Trump. The document reveals that DOJ gave Maxwell's lawyers three FBI interviews with an underage Trump accuser that have not been released to the public.

We’ve lost over 10,000 STEM PhDs from the federal workforce in a single year.

10,000.

Never thought the U.S. would ever allow this type of brain drain to occur - but here we are.

[ClearingTheFog @clearing_fog]

The email that DOJ appears to have deleted from its website is the one where Brad Edwards - the attorney representing Epstein’s victims - said that Epstein and Maxwell took a 15 year old home from Mar a Lago.

[Marlow Stern @MarlowNYC]

worth noting that bondi was florida AG from 2011-2019 and didn’t bring any charges against epstein — he was charged with sex trafficking in florida (and new york) in july 2019, six months after she left office

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Epstein survivors raise their hands to signal they've been ignored by Trump's DOJ as AG Pam Bondi refuses to look at them
