LOL. Trump’s (preemptive) pardon of his 2020 coconspirators was by itself an enormous scandal, but look at the result of it

Kushner was with Witkoff when Dmitriev flew to Miami , a couple of days before the second leaked call between Ushakov and Dmitriev. Like the billions he’s seen flow his way from getting the Saudis to go along with the Gaza peace plan , I find it hard not to believe that there’s a similar incentive at work here , Dmitriev after all is the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and there has been plenty of reporting suggesting that the Russians know the best way to manipulate Trump is to make equally vague and lucrative promises of trade deals just like Bonesaw has.
A bit more analysis here on Witkoff’s double agent shenanigans from Le Monde ;

It’s horrible that these 2 soldiers have been shot. But I also fear the politcal consequences of it.

Witkoff is absolutely a Russian asset. No doubt about it!

This would all sink any other President, but not Trump.
He’s either going to go out in a box, feet first; or a whistle blower will be so disgusted at the scrubbed version of the Epstein files that comes out, that some incontrovertible evidence will be published that will sink him.

It’s pretty crazy. We get numbed, most of us (I certainly do), so what would make us epileptic 10 years ago, is now regisered with dismay but no shellshock.
Many of us also have this distanced skepticism that we didn’t have before.
Distrust of everything from the US. It’s up the them to prove empirically that what they say is true etc., on all matters. It’s a shame.

The election 9 years swing on emails sent from a private server, with the supposed national security implications ending up being no more than hypothetical.
Today we have people not formally part of government doing official government business and diplomacy using signal that result in them presenting official US plans after having cut out the Sec State and Director of National Intelligence in a move that seemingly advances Russian interests at personal gain for those Americans involved in the plot.

The Americans are giving them such an amazing position.

In 2016 foreign intelligence services went to the FBI to share information they had of Russian involvement in Trump’s efforts. Today they cut out the Feds and go to the press

Lizza’s latest entry in Nuzzigate
https://x.com/nothinglikeamad/status/1993785785037033957?s=20
Casually throwing out there that Nuzzi knows the Butler assassination attempt was a scam
Is Lizza that guy who used to write really awful political analysis pieces for CNN , or am I mistaking him for someone with a similar sounding name ?
He was at CNN for a period but I imagine you’re thinking of Chris Siliza.
The NYTPitchbot account has a running gag about Siliza articles being framed “every participant in the war crimes against venezualean fishing boats…as characters from Game of thrones”
That’s the one ! Quite possibly the most talentless person ever to secure meaningful employment as a journalist. He was truly terrible.

the press can do a lot of damage though

If Ukraine had accepted the 28 point American proposal and signed it,
Putin would have declared it legal?
