The level of blatant corruption here is unprecedented in American history.

It’s so extreme we’re not even able to process it.

But every American needs to understand what happened here. Congress must conduct hearings. Media must remain focused on it.

And someday it better get prosecuted.
In the days before the presidential inauguration, an Emirati sheikh paid $187 million to entities controlled by Donald Trump’s family to take a major stake in one of the president’s crypto companies, World Liberty Financial.

In spite of the arrest of Don Lemon, I have a question for @AGPamBondi.

Why no release of the EPSTEIN files? Are you concerned you may be surrounded by real criminals?

Some people are questioning whether this is AI. One way to be certain is to geolocate the video, as AI still struggles to accurately recreate really world locations with enough fidelity to be successfully geolocated. The first question is what's the best information about where this was filmed?
News Movement posted this video of Alex Pretti on Jan 13, showing him spitting at ICE agents and kicking their taillight.

Now conservatives are suggesting this changes things.

That would mean they are suggesting he deserved to be target of an extrajudicial execution.

The video changes nothing.

That’s a blatant lie
Leavitt lies: "Let's be clear about the circumstances which led to that moment on Saturday. This tragedy occurred as a result of a deliberate and hostile resistance by Democrat leaders in Minnesota."

NYT video review confirms this. Pretti had a 2nd Am right to carry a firearm. But even if he didn’t he wasn’t pointing it at anyone or threatening agents. There is no legal justification for the execution-style shooting & no basis for DHS’s claim he was there to massacre them. He was a helper.
Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled

He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming

Everything you need to know about ICE is here: "I asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know." Instead they were standing around counting bullet wounds. This is from a medical eyewitness:

The autopsy done by the Good family strongly suggests that the second or third shot that ICE agent Ross fired killed her; those two shots are the LEAST defensible as self-defense as Good was driving away from Ross, and deadly force would be least justified. And yet Trump/Vance protect him....
I've been waiting for this.

Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.

It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.
