This corruption probe has a pretty long tail. There's probably more to come.

But the upside is that Ukraine still has a functioning anti-corruption squad, they're being allowed to do this work, and the corruption seems to be exactly the kind of war profiteering that every country at war faces.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

"you shouldn’t underestimate the importance of simple corruption. Tether is closely connected with the financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald, formerly run by Howard Lutnick, Trump’s secretary of commerce. On joining the government, Lutnick left his role at Cantor Fitzgerald— & handed it over to his sons"

Rando emails me asking for my work product from a few years ago, giving a vague reason. I ask for clarification, and he gives some flimflam like I'm born yesterday. I replied it seems to me he can easily achieve his stated purpose without it. Caught in a lie, he makes like I'm the dick. 😄

I think Trump went fishing for political violence from his gay/black/trans/democrat/latinx bogeymen with his NG deployment. He seems to have been rewarded with a different but equally palatable bogeyman that is, if anything, likely to distract him from targeting blue cities, and sack Hegseth.
