Great sleuthing Jonathan! Good timing for this, too

Absolutely great reporting here, but distressing nonetheless. There are just so many players in this cooked-up conspiracy. It's pure insanity. How did so many people become so untethered to reality?

This needs to appear in The NYT!!!

Great reporting here, Jonathan. Got to love the pre-debunking for tonight's speech - I may actually watch it! LOL

Excellent reporting!! Isn't Byrne the guy who just lost his lawsuit with Hunter Biden? You could turn this into a Clancy-esk novel were you so inclined. You don't have to punch up the story much. Just add a gorgeous wife, a golden retriever, and an ending.

I’m kinda scared of the ending, maybe wait on that.

I guess we'll find out tonight if he parades Maduro out on stage. although I did see somewhere else that he's going to blame China.

well it doesn't appear as though trumpf or his people have been reading your reporting, because tonight he seemed to be emphasizing the Chinese although he did mention, peripherally, Venezuela (albeit apparently as a victim of the Chinese, as opposed to a perpetrator, unless I wasn't paying close enough attention, which isn't unusual relative to Cheeto Christ Stoopit Czar's blatherings)& the "deep state" you reference. still, you're more spot on than not, so we'll see how things develop in days to come.
