(IMPORTANT) The Mueller docs—still *way* over-redacted— @JasonLeopold was able to get by court order establish that ERIK PRINCE and DONALD TRUMP JR. met *multiple* times pre-election, not just at Trump Tower when (per NYT) Jr. approved of pre-election collusion with three nations.
PS/ What we don't know is a) how many times they met, b) whether they met before or after Prince pitched illegal Israeli, Saudi, and Emirati collusion to Trump Jr. and Trump Jr. responded "approvingly" (or both before *and* after), c) whether FBI CD is still investigating Prince.
PS2/ Presumably FBI CD long ago realized that pre-election Trump collusion with Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE is not only richly sourced but *also* is the best pathway to undercover still under-investigated Russia/Ukraine collusion. Overlapping efforts, crimes *and* criminals.
PS3/ I regularly wake up thinking of how Proof of Conspiracy was a NYT bestseller and confirmed not only the "quid" but the "quo" of Trump pre-election collusion with 3 nations—and a confession of the funding and execution of same to a man in federal custody—and nothing happens.
PS4/ Zamel was introduced to Trump's campaign by a Netanyahu aide; offered collusion alongside Nader; got Jr. to say "yes" at Trump's home; got Nader to fund it via MBS/MBZ; confirmed to Nader that he'd executed the plan—which dovetailed with Kremlin aid; then Nader was arrested.
PS5/ Now Nader, who's sitting in prison with a 10-year sentence but was previously under a federal deal (and could *again* be under a deal, to lessen his sentence) could *any freakin' day of the week* sit down with FBI CD to confirm Trump collusion pre-election and... {crickets}.
PS6/ Trump collusion with Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE is inarguable. The evidence is mountainous. And it involves *many* men connected to Trump collusion with Russia, like Nader and Prince and Trump Jr. and Kushner and Dmitriev and Dahlan and others. And yet.... {crickets}.
PS7/ I can only speculate—without saying I know—that (as I think frankly *anyone* would speculate) Trump's unprecedented *war* (and it was and is a *war*) on federal law enforcement caused people within the FBI CD to *cower*, worrying that *doing their job* could destroy the FBI.
PS8/ A long, long, long time ago I stopped caring what non-attorneys and non-investigators think of the evidence in the Proof series, Mueller's work product, and books like Harding's and Unger's. *Any attorney or investigator* would believe collusive crimes occurred here. *Any*.
PS9/ 15 years from now, the stream of G-men/women who'll come out of the woodwork saying *every single one of us knew this man had colluded pre-election with at least six countries* will be *endless*. Honestly, I hope America says to *each one*, "Where the hell were you in 2020?"
PS10/ There's every reason to fear MBZ's "Lord of the Flies" (who conducts cyberwarfare for the UAE), MBS (via RIG-connected entities using NSO-Group technology), the GRU and SVR, and every other autocrat Trump has pleased—from Xi Jinping to Kim Jong-Un—will attack this election.
PS11/ FBI CD has left us unprotected—as have insane Mueller redactions and media's failure to cover the Stone warrant apps confirming Trump-Israeli collusion (just read them)—such that unless you've read Proof of Conspiracy you don't know what happened once and will happen again.
PS12/ People ask on Twitter, "Doesn't it make you angry?" And the answer is yes—I'm *daily* angry that publicly available evidence from Mueller, Unger, Harding, me, and others has not been made public by FBI CD or DOJ or properly covered by U.S. media. We *do* know what happened.
CONCLUSION/ Never forget: Trump and his coterie get a level of generous treatment from federal law enforcement—up to the sweeping of crimes under the rug as politically "too risky" to pursue—that exceeds by 1000% anything any citizen would receive. Trump *is* functionally a king.
