Graphic Bombshell - Follow The Dark $$$ Behind 1/6/21

NEW: former President Donald Trump’s 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 Trump’s presidential campaign, as first reported by the Associated Press over the weekend. That raises new questions about the Trump campaign’s lack of spending transparency and the unknown extent of the event’s ties to Trump aides.


And this isn’t even capturing all of it >

Trump’s 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 committee’s 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.

Another industry sector that could stand some serious scrutiny involves the private companies that run prisons.

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?

up political corruption and human rights issues. No democracy should have pokitically connected, for profit prisons. It is totally undemocratic and unAmerican.

How do we criticize China for lax public health measures which gave rise to Covid?

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.

impeachment trial as well as sedition charges for all the people involved. 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.

would be an excellent way to unite the country. Americans unite against terrorism.

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

I’ve been unable to locate non-social media sourcing, but there is a Twitter poster who has posted images of documents with his name under the letterhead.





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.

He advises against reading anything into Liebengood’s suicide, but thinks the potential Manafort connection is worthy of further investigation. That seems even-handed.

This $$ is funding terrorists.

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

about their "low life" looks. He wanted a repeat of the Brooks Brothers Riot.
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.

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.

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?
