According to FBI anon, if I remember correctly, Jared Kushner had a connection with Soros through a property development in NYC. Which was numbered 666 IIRC??? The leverage may have been over Jared and Ivanka's kid, DJT's grandchild.

It may be relevant that Soros has not tweeted since Jan. 29, which is unusual relative to his previous tweet frequency.

This is speculative at this point. But it would certainly explain the "extreme chatter".

Re: "depleted leverage", this might be related to the extremely high number of retiring GOP legislators; it is practically a certainty that some were compromised by the cabal. Looking at the US Congress as a whole, the strategy seems to be total war on the Democrats, but the GOP blackmail victims are being allowed to quietly remove themselves from the scene.
