And, according to two intelligence sources, he ran journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s brutal killing at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by giving orders over Skype.

Independent Committee Supporting Ellison Is Half Funded by Alexander Soros
Publishing their polls online follows trend of some federal Democratic PACs
Alexander Soros, the son of billionaire political activist George Soros, donated $100,000 to an independent expenditure committee intended to support Rep. Keith Ellison's bid to become attorney general of Minnesota, an amount that represents slightly less than half of all funds raised by the committee. Although he does not give on the same scale as his father, Alexander Soros is still a significant donor to Democrat and progressive causes. The Washington Free Beacon reported in September that Alex had contributed almost $3 million to Democratic committees this election cycle. Alex works as the deputy chair of the Open Society Foundations, a grant-making group that describes itself as working "to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens." The Open Society Foundations, meanwhile, receives the bulk of its funding from George Soros.
The independent expenditure committee, calling itself the People's Lawyer PAC, has spent the bulk its funds on polling, some of which it has published on its website. While the intent of the committee can not be known, publishing its own polling online appears to mirror tactics detailed in a report from Politico this June describing how independent expenditure committees and PACs can manage to legally coordinate with their candidate by publishing various media in the public domain, even though explicit coordination is supposed to be prohibited by law.
"Coordination between campaigns and outside groups is illegal, though both parties' election lawyers regularly give candidates a green light to evade that ban by sharing information in the public domain—for example, posting long YouTube clips clearly meant for use by friendly super PACs," the report said. The report also quoted an attorney with a campaign finance watchdog saying the practice of coordinating by openly sharing information in the public domain was a "further deterioration" of rules meant to keep a firewall between candidates and the committees that can often receive unlimited donations.
According to campaign finance disclosures, the Soros donation was dated to late June of this year, meaning it would have happened before controversy erupted when a former girlfriend of Ellison's alleged he had been abusive in the couple's years-long relationship. The nonprofit online news outlet MinnPost.com also noted that of all but one of the donations to the People's Lawyer PAC have come from outside the state.Alex Soros, the People’s Lawyer PAC, and the Ellison campaign did not respond to requests for comment.Alex Soros, the People’s Lawyer PAC, and the Ellison campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Claire McCaskill Steals Hillary Clinton’s ‘Fighting for You’ Slogan
Democratic senator Claire McCaskill kicked off a "Fighting for You" tour across Missouri on Monday. Her Republican opponent Josh Hawley says the slogan was lifted from Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 presidential campaign. The Clinton campaign failed to truly embrace a slogan, but "Fighting for You" was one of the first it ever trotted out, using it in its first national campaign ad in 2015. Hawley made fun of McCaskill for recycling the slogan used by Clinton, who lost in Missouri by nearly 20 percentage points.
McCaskill became the first senator to endorse Clinton back in 2013, a historically early presidential endorsement. Her campaign has worked to distance McCaskill from Clinton during the current campaign given Clinton's unpopularity in Missouri. McCaskill is considered to be one of the most vulnerable senators running for reelection.

Agreed, wondering if this and what his son is upto with the Ellison campaign have anything to do with tonight's events at the Soro's compound.
Biden Thinks He’s in Miami During Tampa Campaign Rally
Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared confused on Monday as to what Florida city he was in during a campaign rally for Sen. Bill Nelson (D., Fla.) and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum. Biden was speaking at the University of South Florida in Tampa when he misspoke about being in Miami, according to a video flagged by by the NTK Network. Miami is 280 miles away from Tampa. "It’s great to be with you all. You know Bill, we have a rule back in Delaware that you all don’t have here in Miami, in Florida, that is," the 75-year-old Biden said. "If you keep an audience standing more than 15 minutes, you lose them."
Biden traveled to Florida in an effort to boost voter turnout for Florida Democrats, including Gillum and Nelson. "I think there's something different about this election," Biden told the crowd. "I really mean this. Let me get to the point. This election is bigger than politics. For real. This goes well beyond. You will never have voted in an election that's more important." Biden has been floated as a potential 2020 presidential candidate; his tour through Florida doubles as an opportunity to boost voter turnout during the 2018 midterms and to test the waters for a potential presidential campaign run. "American values are being shredded. We have a president who has put his own selfish interest ahead of the country," Biden said. Nelson faces a fierce challenge for his Senate seat from Florida's current governor, Rick Scott. In the race for governor, Gillum is in the midst of another close race with Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis.

Paid Protest Firm "Crowds On Demand" Sued In $23 Million Extortion Plot
"Paid protesters are real," writes the Los Angeles Times, after a lawsuit filed by a Czech investor against a business rival spotlighted the seedy, and very real business of people hired to express fake outrage, support, and everything in between. According to a lawsuit filed by investor Zdenek Bakala, Prague-based investment manager Pavol Krupa hired Beverly hills company Crowds on Demand (COD) to stage a protest near Bakala's home in Hilton Head, SC. Crowds on Demand provides pop-up "protests, rallies, flash mobs, paparazzi events and other inventive PR stunts," according to its website.
The dispute between Bakala and Krupa goes back for several years, and has been the subject of inquiries by the European Commission and the Czech government, involving a formerly state-owned coal mining business, OKD, which Bakala assumed control of in 2004. Bakala has been accused of bribing officials to buy the government's equity in the mining company at a below-market price, which broke a promise to sell company-owned apartments to employees before the company ultimately filed for bankruptcy in 2016. According to Bakala, the COD smear campaign didn't stop there, claiming that the company also called and sent emails to the Aspen Institute and Dartmouth College, where Bakala sits on advisory boards, urging them to cut ties with him. Bakala claims that Krupa threatened to ramp up the COD campaign unless the Czech investor coughs up $23 million. Bakala, who holds U.S. and Czech citizenship, says in his lawsuit that all of those allegations are false and are part of Krupa’s extortion campaign. He alleges that Krupa offered to cease his campaign if Bakala paid $23 million for OKD shares owned by Krupa’s investment fund. Crowds on Demand founder Adam Swart and Krupa neither confirmed nor denied that they are working together. They declined to answer specific questions about Bakala’s allegations, though Swart, in an emailed statement, called the claims meritless. “Not only will I vigorously defend myself against the allegations in the complaint but I am also evaluating whether to bring my own claims against Mr. Bakala,” Swart said. -LA Times
"Defendants are pursuing a campaign of harassment, defamation, and interference in the business affairs of Zdenek Bakala, which they have expressly vowed to expand unless he pays them millions of dollars," reads Bakala's lawsuit. That said, it's not clear that Krupa's alleged campaign had the desired effect. Elliot Gerson, an executive vice president at the Aspen Institute, said in an emailed statement that the institute has received calls and emails from “individuals associated with Crowds on Demand” and that the nonprofit’s general counsel has spoken with Swart “about this campaign of harassment.” “From the beginning, we assumed that these manufactured communications were linked to political issues in the Czech Republic and Mr. Bakala’s high profile in that country,” Gerson said. “Nothing we received has altered our views about Mr. Bakala.” -LA Times So paid protesters are a thing…

Indeed they are, I can't wait for this to be fully expose for the world to see what pawns they have made these protestors into for their own self serving purposes.
