The new Trump administration is off to a roaring start. Before many of his cabinet picks have been confirmed, the new administration is uncovering significant abuses, including at USAID.
It’s a strong signal that much more is to come. The new administration has clearly done their homework. We will try to peel the layers back a bit further in the fast moving news cycle, but tonight our good friend Jeff Carlson flagged that $40 billion dollars intended to buy weapons for Ukraine ended up at USAID. USAID has been making numerous grants to left wing organizations for unclear purposes. It’s an entire slush fund of taxpayer cash.
On Russiagate, there are rumors of significant disclosures coming.
We will be getting some documents from the FBI this week, I’m unsure how redacted they will be. The Dagon-Antonakakis attribution report will likely be released before my litigation fight for it concludes, which is bittersweet.
Our lawsuit against Antonakakis is still waiting for a remand to the trial court, 6 months after the Supreme Court decision.
We will cover the Russiagate documents as they are released, and try to snag some other topics of interest as abuses are found.
Thank you for your continuing excellent work. Most of USAID's efforts go to rightwing regime changes like in Ukraine, Syria, Georgia, Libya, etc. Please do not use 'leftwing' arbitrarily. Identity politics and gender politics are liberal, not leftwing. If USAID is aiding socialists, then yes, leftwing. I have yet to see them do that. Thanks very much.
