Wen, 42, tried to buy properties in London, including a £23.5m seven-bedroom Hampstead mansion with a swimming pool and a £12.5m home with a cinema and gym.

"The investigation led to the UK's biggest-ever cryptocurrency seizure when more than 61,000 Bitcoin were discovered in digital wallets."

Political agents invent a scandal from thin air, alleging “facts” that didn’t exist until they said so. The record-keepers fall into line, revising the historical record to accommodate the new “truth.” Meanwhile, you’re made to feel crazy, because you remember the before times.

Wikipedia edits on the Pine Tree Flag page are fascinating.

On Wednesday, it was just a normal flag.

On Friday, it's a now a symbol of Christian nationalism and right-wing extremism.

And the Popular Culture section on the HBO miniseries has been completely removed.

Could be that she was ALWAYS on Trump Team and just sucked all that beeeeyoutiful NeverTrump cash just to emasculate them for the Convention AND the General.

Not that I wouldn't have a political diplomat, trained in the art of lying to donors faces, do that if I had the chance to screw with my enemies. BecauseREVENGE.

Say, didn't he dedicate a chapter of his book to just that subject?

Walton Foundation, if I were to guess. Monster tax break, and very politically active (which is very anti-tax code, BTW).

She already burned a shitton of his opponents cash for them. Pity, that. Just like DeSantis.

>>20910675

I still believe both could've been playing stalking horses. DeSantis with the Ryan/Rove packet, and Nikki pulling in the Omidyar donor pool. Now they've maxxed out their donations for the cycle, hard money wise, while getting their fingers singed for the soft cash wasted.

'Judge Merchan had Steve Bannon's case, had Allen Weisselberg's case. Somehow, he randomly also gets assigned Donald Trump's case. That's not the way the system is supposed to work.'

No. They iced her out.

>>20910706

She played the role asked of her. And blew all their money.

>>20910719

Did she not blow all their dough? Then asking why or how seems like the next question, which leads to many possible answers.
