I love this “City in the Center” idea. Very interesting stuff as always, thanks. I think you put FBS instead of FSB in the CPAC section.

Thanks. Not sure what other cities will be quite as in the middle-ish, but this one made too much sense.

Greg, another great exposé connecting the dots. Just hoping all this is known and part of the investigation into Trump’s ‘house of ill repute’ and the reason why we haven’t heard much of anything from DOJ. 🤯

I sure hope so.

They're all open-criming now. The adrenalin rush of open defiance. The nihilist's end-of-road exhaustion. The endless nights waiting for the knock on the door.

We're almost at the "murdering people on Fifth Avenue" point with them. I hope it doesn't get that far.

And a bummer, because I'd love to visit Budapest.

You wrote so clearly about a complex web of intrigue and corruption. I don't know how you do it, but thanks! It reads like a spy novel. Terrifying to realize it's all true. Now, I think I better understand what is taking DOJ and the Select Committee so long. It's like they are dealing with balls of mucky, nasty yarn the threads of which have become entangled and need to be carefully unraveled, so as not to break a single piece of thread. Because all the threads lead to other threads.

Thank you. And yes, the threads do all muck themselves up. That's a perfect metaphor for what this is, I think.

Oh Greg. Apart from the masterful job you did with this piece to clearly define the intricate web of influence and shady dealings of these thugs, with every post I find myself shaking my head and smiling in admiration and/or laughing out loud at your deft turns of phrases and beautifully crafted take downs of the monsters who live among us. I’m grateful for you and for the wonderful community of like-minded people on this site. Knowing you all are around really takes the edge off. Thank you, good man, and thanks to the many good people who follow along and contribute their insights.

Thanks so much. I didn't put as many jokes in this one, alas. Next time!

Great connect, Mr O'Lear... Fantastic work examining

Cohen's denials...and the very probable meeting in Budapest, as outlined in Güllen's remarkable piece on a Bridge in Budapest.

Wow, I think Budapest would have a better reputation continuing to only be thought of as the gateway to Castle Dracula.

So glad that my parents, Holocaust victims aren't alive to witness how many Jews are so corrupt! Gotta take my pill, my blood pressure is boiling...

That was fascinating. I enjoy learning from your columns.

I'd love to see you, LB and Zev collaborate on producing documentaries, though I realize LB is already producing an audio documentary. You all are so good at research and have writing styles that are engaging and entertaining.

Excellent piece - every time I hear Prague used to discredit Steele Dossier I now have in detail just how plausible this Michael Cohen connect is when using the Budapest Bridge to connect Cohen (or at least his cell phone pings) to allegations in Dossier.
