NEW: former President Donald Trumps 2020 campaign disclosed paying people & firms behind the January 6 rally before rioters stored the US Capitol *OVER $2.7 MILLION*but secretive shell companies & "dark money" hide details of Trump ties to those protests
https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2021/01/trump-tied-to-dc-protests-dark-money-and-shell-companies/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=twitt_trump-ties-dcprot-012220
Multiple individuals listed on the permit granted by the National Park Service worked for Trumps presidential campaign, as first reported by the Associated Press over the weekend. That raises new questions about the Trump campaigns lack of spending transparency and the unknown extent of the events ties to Trump aides.
And this isnt even capturing all of it >
Trumps top 2020 campaign vendor was American Made Media Consultants LLC, a firm created by Trump campaign aides to act as a clearinghouse for its spending. The firm routed more than $759 million of the campaign and its joint fundraising committees spending, hiding information about the identities of some individuals being paid by the campaign, how much money changed hands and when those payments took place.

I do hope Biden gets round to abolishing UNICOR/Federal Prison Industries.
How can the west credibly complain about the Uighur situation in Xinjiang when worse stuff is going on in the US under color of LAW?

Under Trump, America lost the moral high ground.
China is hell bent upon becoming the planet's next super power and it is going to reach that goal.
While the US loses standing.

Follow the ties in the chart and collect the evidence of collusion in a conspiracy to overthrow the US government and establish a dictatorship under DJT. Find the records that give solid proof. Then revoke all citizenship rights for everyone involved after conviction.

Failure to hold them accountable will only encourage more of it. They will always push the limits.

This same Twitter user links Event Strategies, at least in its early days, to Stone and Howard Liebengood, the father of the Capitol Police officer of the same name, who committed suicide 3 days after the riot.

(2,771 posts)He advises against reading anything into Liebengoods suicide, but thinks the potential Manafort connection is worthy of further investigation. That seems even-handed.

$2.7 million out of almost a billion $. And where did that money come from? And at what point can it be frozen?

If I remember correctly the same stories came up about the mob of people who pulled down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. I would love to hear what Preti Patel has to say on that action seeing as how she is so adamant on keeping monuments up.

(47,119 posts)Trump must have thought, it worked for Bush. I'll try the same thing.
Pretend you won the election you actually lost.
Then have a little riot.
Get the SC on your side.
Everything lines up, he has a bingo.

(54 posts)how many days elapsed from the time Trump named that new Supreme Court Justice, and had her sworn in so she could clean up the urine and feces his temps left in the Capitol Building?
How many days?
