Agreed. Facts should matter more than political loyalty. So here are facts, every one from Trump’s own government. Fact: Trump’s National Intelligence Council wrote in August 2020 that Putin was personally overseeing an operation to spread claims my father committed crimes tied to Burisma. Trump declassified that document himself two days ago. Fact: Trump’s Treasury sanctioned Andriy Derkach on September 10, 2020 as “an active Russian agent for over a decade.” Giuliani met him in Kyiv, on camera, and kept the tapes. Fact: Trump's FBI warned Senator Johnson that his source, Andrii Telizhenko, was a conduit for Russian disinformation. Johnson kept going and so did Grassley. Trump's Treasury then sanctioned that source too, on January 11, 2021. Fact: The bribery allegation at the center of the impeachment inquiry came from Alexander Smirnov, who pleaded guilty in federal court to fabricating it and went to prison. Fact: Six years of investigation by prosecutors of both parties produced zero charges from the laptop’s contents. Not one. You asked whether politicians and media knowingly amplified information they believed was false. The FBI warning and the Treasury sanctions were public before the amplification stopped. It never stopped. So yes. That is the bigger story. It’s the one I’ve been telling. And there are an endless supply of facts i am writing and discussing on Substack.
