CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

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.

Trump and Epsteinβ€” now Trump boldly says this is a Democrat problem because all of Epstein’s friends were Democrats. Except the emails and photos show: Trump was a friend. And Steve Bannon was a friend. Etc.

β€œI Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua β€œterrorists” had taken over the building.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

β€œWeaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an β€œongoing investigation”

Kristi Noem sits on a horse wearing a cowboy hat. In the background is Mount Rushmore.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

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

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

Nixon had a gap in the tape recordings because of an alleged Rosemary Woods error; what is Halligan s excuse for a gap in the Comey grand jury recording? Very suspicious.

There is definitely a gap but we don’t know the extent because the private grand jury deliberations (without govt present) is NOT ever transcribed. But the prosecutors presentation is supposed to be and appears NOT to have been.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

Since this administration loves to charge people with making false statements (see, e.g., Comey, James), I assume they will be charging Maxwell for lying to Blanche and the FBI agents who interviewed her, right?

12.11.2025 19:42 β€” πŸ‘ 3319    πŸ” 961    πŸ’¬ 63    πŸ“Œ 13

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

EPSTEIN: even today, after the release of the key Epstein-Maxwell emails in which Epstein says Trump knew about the "girls" but hasn't "barked" (presumably, talked), the NYT reports that the WH is intensely pressuring the House NOT to vote to release more? How much worse is what we have not seen?

12.11.2025 20:38 β€” πŸ‘ 2224    πŸ” 558    πŸ’¬ 138    πŸ“Œ 19

EPSTEIN BREAKING NEWS: importantly, emails written in 2011, before Trump was president, and between close confidants, with no known reason to lie to each other about Trump.

It explains why Trump has done everything NOT to release the material. If it were not damning, you would want its release.

another really important point from @annabower.bsky.social . the truth is the recitation of evidence has basically nothing to do w/ the motion to dismiss for selective prosecution. it just serves to make Comey look bad. here to make him look like he's not truthful when he is (b/c Richman not w/ FBI)
