Every time a new piece of the puzzle is revealed, my hope rises. Thanks, Zev, for being the agent of this information. I just "hope" these revelations are not another "and nothing was done".

These are bad times indeed. But people are rising to the occasion, young people running for all kinds of office, and I put my faith in that for nowl Jesse Jackson used his lifespan to brilliant account, and may he rest in power.

We need a real revolution. I don’t see any other way out of it anymore. And I think it’s coming when the midterms happen (or don’t happen). Either way shit is going to hit the fan, and it absolutely has to.

If they are fair, we will have a new tool to defend democracy. If they are tampered with or not held at all, the lay down Revolution starts the next day. Either way. I agree, we have to get m7ch mire aggressive in the push back!! Fure Schumer and Jeffries.

If they are fair (wishful thinking), MAGA is going to cause a shitstorm.

Sandra Tuttle's avatar

We better be ready to have our shitstorm then too. One congressman has already said the entire country needs to strike the next day. I think we better raise some hell from niw until November. I dont like keaving things until the last minute.

A MAGA shitstorm? So be it. We all have to work in our communities to get as many people as possible to the voting booth so that it isn't a small margin of victory. And that may include donating whatever we can to enable everyone whose name now doesn't match their birth certificate buy a Passport ID card (which is a bit of a hassle and takes weeks to process + at least $40). That's in case Senate Republicans decide at the 11th hour to pass the "SAVE" Act.

Forewarned is forearmed. We have to defend our democracy, our country.

I'm afraid you're right. I think so also. There is no other way when we have an out of control MADMAN running the country (trying to run the world!). Who in the hell does he think he is? Americans won't stand for it!

I have an uncomfortable feeling that our White House is brimming with Russia-adjacent criminals. The entire MAGA agenda hinges on Russian/German politics, with its commander-in-chief, Krasnov, enforcing fascistic policies throughout the administration. Daily.

German? Are you alleging Merz is aligned with Putin?

PJ Schuster's avatar

No, I think he means the new far far right party there, the ADF or AFD

This explains why, no matter what, Lutnick has the self satisfied look of the kid who ate the last cookie

That’s what I thought! He was so smug last week at that Oversight Committee.

Trump has intentionally loaded his cabinet with folks knee-deep in either the Epstein files or who have profited from backroom deals that would be disbarring ethics violations. And this is his blackmail he has against them. The Lutnick example is egregious and also a keystone in the larger $ laundering strategy. But keep searching the files because…there’s more!

Catherine Beck's avatar

Agreed. There is much more.

If you would please post a link to the FBI whistleblower statement on Lutnick’s fraud and money laundering, I think many of us would like to share it with our Congress members to push for impeachment hearings for Lutnick. It feels like a good place to begin to help unravel the web for the American people.

Four files are linked to the last two articles that Zev posted. Two are here: Whistleblower, FBI Complaint: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01249210.pdf (Fergie is mentioned here also)

Whistleblower, FBI 302: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01249207.pdf

I believe you are correct. He’s married to a Russian agent.

Epstein whore first….. brought her in on a ‘talent’ visa!!

Catherine Beck's avatar

Zev, you PROVE your journalistic professionalism with clear and damning posts like this. Thank you once again. Stay safe.

Wendy Shelley's avatar

Another Narativ that puts some other ‘reports’ to shame! Combining all the financials with research/posts from Ellie, Dean, Lev (& others) should lead to charges, and they should start not-soon-enough!! Just excellent reporting, Zev, and thank you! 🥰

I’m glad Anderson said goodbye to 60 minutes, although it’s sad that yet another excellent journalist has left such a legacy show. Anderson always struck me as a man with principles and as such he had no choice but to walk.

Principles is something Lutnick knows nothing about. Of course he should be gone from the cabinet and prosecuted for money laundering but I don’t see that happening. Our own little American oligarchy is a club. They circle the wagons for their members. It’s the very reason Trump told Taylor Greene people could be hurt if the Epstein files ever came out. It’s the only time he ever told truth. People sure would and they’re all his oligarchy club friends.

Reading these serial updates daily to The Greates Heist is tantalizing Zev. I believe you may be onto a new way of reporting news.

I am highly interested in the investigation of Zorro Ranch. I think this may be the missing link. Sometime betweem 1991 and 1995, I think, then govenor of NM sold the property to Jeffery Epstein.

Then Bill Richardson during his governorship spent time at the Ranch it is alledged. Now, a Maga acolyte owns the ranch, whose son incidentally works at the WH currently.

Seems to me that property may have been owned by secret keepers from roughly 31 to 31 years. There has been no investigation of the property heretofore.

Catherine Beck's avatar

Just ONE of the missing links, really. There are so many.

Another informative piece, TY Zev

Unbelievable how much corruption is in the White House. How in the world did this happen to our country. Why? Why would anybody want to destroy such a beautiful country? Only a madman would think of such a thing. God help us!

Jesse Jackson's death is hitting me hard for some reason. Maybe it's because we're the same age (almost...he was 84, I just turned 83). Very sobering!

Thank you Zev for your excellent reporting.
