A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Kristi Noem waived bidding requirements to give $220 million to a firm tied to her top aide, chief spokesperson, and herself—all for a vanity ad shot at Mount Rushmore.

Noem spent over $200 million in taxpayer dollars to film videos over 2xs last year’s budget.
The money was funneled using a “no bid” contract to an unknown LLC created days earlier and is tied to the husband of her deputy at DHS.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

The fact that the estate released files that implicate Donald Trump, files that the DOJ/FBI have, proves that Pamela Jo Bondi and Kash Patel are actively involved in a criminal cover-up.
The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.
