🧵 Not shocked at all. Trump is a RU asset [witting or unwitting doesn't matter] since 1987. He does Putin's bidding.
Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

He's 100% mental. And getting worse.

Trump just ended Elise Stefanik. I’m dying!!! I so wish I could see her face right now! (First time I’ve ever said that).

Is Trump or his top advisers actually giving illegal orders to the military or intelligence services? Yes, of course. Many people have said. Because Trump et al are criminals.

We are NEVER going to see the 'Epstein Files' from the DOJ. They have been sanitized and the release will be delayed ad nauseam. Perhaps some information from the Epstein Estate may be forthcoming from the estate lawyers. Don't hold your breath.

Doesn't matter. The Senate will not vote to release, and even if they did Trump will veto. We all know the files were doctored by Trump stooges.
Kash ordered a team of FBI agents to go through the Epstein files many months ago to redact Trump’s name based on FOIA exemptions 6 and 7. It is highly unlikely they are going to be unredacted before they are released. ONLY victim info should be redacted, but much more will be.
