Every single person who lamented the seizure of #backpage #backpageseized needs to read this. Especially page 31, the beginning of Section E.

Don't cry for these people that were arrested.

Fun fact: a lot of the women and minors being exploited in the illegal sex trafficking trade -get this! - don't get to keep any of the money they 'earn' by being bought and sold.
Let's dispense with the fantasy that BackPage didn't know that many of the girls being trafficked for sex on their site were underage.
The heartbreaking facts of the case of Victim 6.
Since a minor can't legally give consent, yes, 'rape' is the appropriate word to use here.

And I hope that uncle gets life in prson.
I want long prison sentences for these BackPage employees. When you are helpfully editing ads to hide the fact minors are being raped, you know exactly what you are doing.
Oh my God....
We used to hang rapists. I'm not convinced we're a better civilization now that we don't.
BackPage is a WONDERFUL idea, they said.
It'll be a safe haven for sex workers, they said.
At least all the millions of bucks these creeps got from facilitating all this illegal activity is going to be seized by the feds. A lot of the $ should be put in a fund established for the victims of the sex trafficking industry.
This is a big reason why the asset forfeiture stuff was done early in Jeff Session's tenure. He's gonna make SURE people quit doing this stuff.

We'll not only send you to PRISON, we're gonna seize all your stuff.

You know how a jet fighter launches chaff to throw the enemy off the target?

I'm halfway convinced it was the **TRUMP TEAM ITSELF** in the White House sending out people to be anonymous sources spreading these "OMG Kushner is an IDIOT!" stories in the Fake News Media.
Trump is a master of information warfare.

If anybody started putting 2 and 2 together and snooping around what Kushner was up to, I can totally see the White House sending people out to anonymously seed the media with stories like...this:

spectator.us/jared-kushner-…
All the anonymous sources were in agreement: this Kushner guy is just benefiting from having married Trump's daughter, he's in way WAY over his head, has got no clue what he's doing.

Hi @seanmdav.

For a guy who calls out the Fake News Media an awful lot, you sure seem to trust what they tell you when it suits you.

Somebody who **actually** listened to Wray's testimony **instead of** getting their "Cliff Notes" from the Fake News Media:

My friend @Shem_Infinite:

There is no excuse for this. You're getting your "hot take" on what Wray actually testified from a Huffpost Reporter?

Do better.

We already saw this movie.

Didn't we already see this movie?

I think we all already saw this movie.

The only thing **different** about how Comey won't answer the questions put to him by these Congressional commitees [other than the standard "I don't recall"] is he won't be saying:

"I can't comment on that because it's currently part of an ongoing federal investigation."
Instead Comey will be saying THIS:

"On the advice of my legal counsel, I invoke my Fifth amendment rights."

or

"My counsel has advised me not to discuss this, and so I won't."

To people endlessly asking me if President Trump is aware of and taking steps to combat this whole "Color Revolution" playbook:

Yes, he is aware of it.

Yes, he is taking steps to deal with it.

No, he's not going to tell you what they are.
The biggest assumption people make is because Trump hasn't **publicly rolled out** his strategy for dealing with this threat that is all over the media & we're all talking about it is because....he's blind to it.

Utter nonsense.

Trump does not reveal things until HE'S READY TO DO THAT.

And he will only do that when there's nothing the enemy can do to sabotage his efforts.

Look at what just happened YESTERDAY.

Remember YESTERDAY?

Yeah. Durham's wrapped.

That's why they are issuing the subpoenas now.

foxnews.com/politics/senat…
I've had to endlessly explain this for going on 2 years now:

While the investigation is ongoing, you wouldn't learn anything from subpoenaing these goons because they'd do what COMEY & STRZOK & Mueller & everybody else did when they testified before Congress.

Right?
How many times did you want to hear over and over

"I'm sorry I cannot answer that question because the matter is currently under investigation by the Dept. of Justice" or the dozen of variations to that?

Because THAT'S what you would have heard before now.

You know I'm right.

A whole lot of people get SpyGate stuff wrong because they don't know the timeline of the actual events.

So here's a handy reference you can use:

theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/infogr…
Given to what's coming, I want to draw your attention to THESE two events that occurred in early March, 2016. Image
THIS got memory-holed. But pay attention. There will be a quiz later. Image
