They crumble when faced with repeated facts. Great going! 🤘🤓🖖

Tara, as usual, you know precisely how to balance thoughtfulness and restraint versus assertive truth-seeking. And as usual, one of Trump's unqualified (being kind) flunkies defaults to non-substantive engagement.

You’re exactly right that the event held on French soil should have held no place for Blanche’s security. None.

You are a treasure, JKB. And Blanche is a whore (no offense to whores). He is undermining our democracy.

Hi Tara. Great piece. There’s a typo in the first paragraph where you quote your question to Blanche. You say “Blanche was appointed by Clayton to chairman of Apollo when he was pushed out.”

okay thank you for catching that

I’ve posted something similar elsewhere, that is:

Todd Blanche has a wife, a son, a daughter, a granddaughter, and maybe more. He is now commandeering the cover-up of extensively documented international child trafficking and money laundering operations.

Tara, with all due respect, may I suggest the look on Mrs. Blanche’s face revealed more than an acknowledgment of a ruined evening? I hope she has the depth to understand.

Thank you as always Tara for your calm bravery in the face of these lying, power drunk bullies.

The Chatham House Rules sound like a relic left over from old boys dinner clubs- tacitly agreed upon etiquette so all the (white) men could keep their private back room dealings and peccadillos obscured from view while they sold the American people falsehoods and the appearance of a 2 party system.

I appreciate that you have the moral fortitude and discernment to bring us the truth. Refusing to comply with this corrupt system, even at professional and personal cost, is inspiring.

Thank you Tara.

Dr. Oz was never a surgeon he is a quack. He’s another nut job like Bobby Kennedy and a fake doctor. How would you like him to prescribe you medicine
