Any DUers heard *this* one?! Dear gawd!

Under Trump, Witness Protection has been infiltrated by the Russian Mafia
https://thesternfacts.com/under-trump-witness-protection-has-been-infiltrated-by-the-russian-mafia-f6e4825f10a5

In October 2017, Curt Weldon joined the board of advisors for Monarch Air Group, which had just completed its first contract with the Justice Department’s Witness Security Division.

Monarch Air is a known Russian mob front. This is such an open secret that a Conspiracy Theory website made up a story about how Monarch Air worked with the FSB to transport 370 Spetznetz troops to the United States to protect the Trump inauguration.

It was actually somewhat believable given the presence of a South Florida biker gang literally named after the Spetznetz with ties to Trump properties.

Why would the Trump Administrations Department of Justice allow a company that operates as a front for the Russian mob anywhere near the sacred halls of Witness Protection, not once, but twice? What was going on in June 2017 and January 2018 that warranted these contracts?

We seem to want to make the Russians an all powerful boogeyman. It's good to be vigilant, but not paranoid.
