BREAKING: The top communications official at the Department of Health and Human Services accused career government scientists of plotting against President Trump and told Trump supporters to arm themselves ahead of the November presidential election. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/516319-top-hhs-official-accuses-scientists-of-plotting-against-trump-tells?amp&__twitter_impression=true">https://thehill.com/policy/he...

In a Facebook Live video, HHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo said, "When Donald Trump refuses to stand down at the inauguration, the shooting will begin. If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because it& #39;s going to be hard to get."

Caputo, whose twitter account was either disabled or suspended, also suggested without evidence that the killing of a Trump supporter in Portland was part of larger left-wing plot: “Remember the Trump supporter who was shot and killed? That was a drill." https://twitter.com/ddiamond/status/1305571640487665664?s=20">https://twitter.com/ddiamond/...

Caputo moved to Russia in 1994 after the fall of the Soviet Union and advised Boris Yeltsin while working for the US Agency for International Development. In 2000, he worked with the Russian conglomerate Gazprom Media to "improve Putin’s image in America." #click=https://t.co/OIHoUD3QDy">https://amp.democratandchronicle.com/amp/480080001 #click=https://t.co/OIHoUD3QDy">https://amp.democratandchronicle.com/amp/48008...

So why is Caputo fueling conspiracy theories and telling Trump supporters to buy guns and ammo prior to the November elections? Because the resulting chaos and gun sales benefit two of Trump& #39;s key benefactors: Russia and the @NRA. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/27/764879242/nra-was-foreign-asset-to-russia-ahead-of-2016-new-senate-report-reveals">https://www.npr.org/2019/09/2...
