I would agree that that’s exactly what happened. I believe an audit would also expose the money flow. Also notice that the “bots” that reply to POTUS’s twitter within a miliseco d have also taken a back seat. Distributing false info and campaigns to do so are all part of Project mockingbird.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a military operation called “To kill a Mockingbird.” Or that’s too obvious, could be more like “Dinner out”.
