Did they detect Peter Thiel meeting Russian officials repeatedly on Epstein island? Because that’s in the files. Many close to Trump are probably compromised foreign assets.

There's so much Russian involvement and influence in the Trump administration, there's a dedicated Wikipedia page.[0] We already know Tulsi was part of a cult and believes lots of tinfoil conspiracy theories without any evidence and carries water for the Kremlin.[1] And, we already know Trump's first wife was likely a honeytrap.[2] It's still unclear whether Epstein gathered kompromat just to keep himself safe and investible, or if Mossad and/or the KGB utilized Epstein to compromise rich/famous/political figures too or they/either thought that aid would/did eventually lead to leverage they/either could/did wield.[3]
The point above are symptoms of the oligarchical capture of a supermajority of the American political system (e.g., legislative, judicial, and executive) and mass media constitute the greatest threat to humanity (within and beyond CONUS borders), future engines of economic prosperity for the 99%, world tranquility, and the standard of life of average people. It's not even a partisan issue except to those who wish to be divided-and-conquered and bark at powerless people they believe are valid scapegoats. I wish this current crisis would end and we could return to arguing about direct memory access or ALE XT-compatible ISA cards.

So now we know what that was all about. Nothing. Obviously POTUS orders people in his circle to contact foreign leaders and foreign intel all the time. Whether Mossad or SVR there are people in the Trump orbit that talk to them and Trump approves of this in his unusual diplomacy style. Maybe they even think they have leverage and it's going on behind Trumps back. Now thanks to this Whistleblower they know that their contacts happened with knowledge of the WH. Seems like a legitimate discretionary decision by DNI Gabbard to disclose this only to the WH CoS and not along the usual lines. Particularly since the press apparently get briefed immediately by members of the congressional oversight committee.
