Mexican Fast and Furious Warrants Ignore Roles U.S. Government Played
The Flying Wienermobile
The NY Attorney General draws a focus on her operations. In the amended complaint, paragraphs 184 and on, those are detailed. Her sole duty was to arrange the jets for the LaPierres, and sometimes for the high-rolling head of Advancement. Until 2012, she was paid $15,000 a month. In 2015, that was upped to $19,000 a month. Then Woody Phillips told her to begin adding a 10% commission onto the tab for the planes and keep that. Later Ackerman McQueen began paying her $4,000 a month in addition. In 2018, this one person, working very much part-time, drew $2.6 million from NRA. Oh, and she wasn’t licensed as a travel agent. [More]
And once they reach their destination, they need to be ushered in style...

So He'll Be Under Oath?
Ray Epps, the former Arizona Oath Keeper at the center of pro-Trump conspiracy theories related to Jan. 6., intends to sit for a transcribed interview Friday with the select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol... [More]
Former Oath Keeper or former oath keeper...?
You ever get the feeling some conspiracy theories are started by those with an interest in discrediting everything refuting the narrative?
Then again, who knows if his testimony will be followed up on and investigated if the Republicans win big? A lot of them would just as soon see the swamp claim more ground.

We're the Only Ones Committing Armed Robbery Enough
Five times since last May, sheriff's deputies in Kansas and California have stopped armored cars operated by Empyreal Logistics, a Pennsylvania-based company that serves marijuana businesses and financial institutions that work with them. The cops made off with cash after three of those stops, seizing a total of $1.2 million, but did not issue any citations or file any criminal charges, which are not necessary to confiscate property through civil forfeiture. That process allows police to pad their budgets by seizing assets they allege are connected to criminal activity, even when the owner is never charged, let alone convicted. [More]
In a rational world, the armored car occupants would be able to lawfully defend themselves against all predatory thugs.

Now watch the opposition to this get transitioned from "xenophobe" to "white supremacist" to "greatest domestic threat."
