uspol, epiphany, musing about news of the day
Y’know, it never occurred to me that these folks would just... try to rely on a system of bribes and hush money payments to keep their empire duct-taped together.
I get the control over the narrative. But the numbers seem weird: they value silence at an annuity of $15k/mo (source: some of the earlier court filings, plus Corsi court filings). And that... doesn’t seem scalable, when insights into DC corruption are generally on the order of millions+.

@Goldkin Oh wow, I missed both of those. And that does seem low, tbh.

@zetasyanthis Yeah. I don’t understand the implications, but I’m guessing this is why so many media folks in his inner orbit are suddenly finding better deals with a D House. Which seems like a blunder unless more fixes are in?

@zetasyanthis Caveat: Corsi’s filing document is absolutely bonkers, but the $15k figure corroborates earlier sourcing.
