1. The US government utterly failed on all levels to protect our country and democracy.

3. Well , not sure if they failed or succeeded.

I'm thinking it was more a PLAN. They pulled this off big time.

5. Most excellent and astute observation.

There were too many parts of the system which failed to do their jobs.

Just adamantly refused to do the jobs they were paid to do.
Or just slow walked it into oblivion.

And failed to honor their oaths to the country.

It is not just about Trump at all.

It was plan with a lot of moving parts, all of the people onboard.
To pull off the crime of the century.

8. Look no further than Milquetoast Merrick. His deliberate slow-walking achieved its purpose.

2. Everyone is protecting themselves.

First rule, charity begins at home.

4. New Agents are named....

6. Leon has a top security clearance

And the FBI or anyone else has even spoken to Musk about his conversations with Putin.
Maybe DOJ is investigating Leon and we will never know it.

7. They'll be sorry, drump will back stab them before long, it is the way...

9. So Blue Sky has lots of bullshit... just like Twitter.

https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/how-will-elon-musk-pay-twitter-2022-10-07/

The blue sky person is pathetically trying to tie 8VC, a venture capital firm to the Russians.

8VC was founded by a co-founder of Palantir, Joe Lonsdale... a friend and business partner of Musk and Thiel who were the "PayPal mafia"... 8VC also is an investor in the Boring Co, another Musk start up.

8VC has TWO employees on their staff who are CHILDREN of sanctioned Russian oligarchs. Not a Russian kopeck in the deal.

That's it. That's the connection.

Out of the $46.5B financing package to buy Twitter... Musk put up approximately HALF IN CASH, got loans from BofA and Morgan Stanley for $13B

The last $7B is from equity investors including dozens of smaller firms and individuals including Larry Ellison, Saudi Crown Prince, Ackman and dozens of smaller interests.

8VC is one of those small interests and there is no indication that there is any connection WHATSOEVER to Russia.



Go tell the person on Blue Sky they're a propagandist hack.

11. Blue Sky, Blue's guy,

whatever.

A riff on the same tune. "What?! Us!? Lose!? Impossible!" (Cue "Princess Bride" and the quip about the word not meaning what the speaker thinks it means.)

10. Doesn't matter now

US Intel all report to Trump in 2 months.
