That list of subscribers, BTW, includes 19 people with [fbi.gov](http://fbi.gov) email addresses, and one with an [lgraham.senate.gov](http://lgraham.senate.gov) address. I think the public has an interest in knowing which senators and members of law enforcement are fascists. ---

When you adopt a principle like the one you are espousing, don’t forget that the same principle can be used against you, in circumstances which you may not find pleasant. I like to link to this clip every so often, in discussions like this. The discussion is about the law, but the principle is the same. This is from The Man for All Seasons: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBiLT3LASk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBiLT3LASk) ---

BF Borgers CPA was described as a “sham audit mill” and even their audit of TMTG said something about “concerns as an ongoing viable business” or similar to that effect. ---

Get involved with Trump, lose your business and pay $14,000,000. Sounds about right. ---

The fact that TMTG was one of them gets lots of headlines the case wouldn’t get otherwise, but it’s really not that significant. Yeah, I thought of that. But just like becoming President puts you under a magnifying glass. Anyone associated with him got looked at too. That some of Trumps crimes where financial… well. Get involved with Trump, and we are going to take a look at you. I’ve said in other places - I don’t think Trump really wanted to win. Since the Apprentice was dropped, he wanted to start his own TV network so he would still get facetime. It would be the Anti-Hillary Network. Then he got the job that gave him power to bully, and facetime. I doubt he really like it though. He had to follow at least SOME rules, and had some folks telling him what he can and can’t do. A totally alien concept to him. Now he wants to be elected again hoping the power will keep him out of legal trouble. He’s probably right, at least for four years. ---

I don’t remember which member of the armed forces Congress was grilling not so long about about being woke, but he testified that he read all sorts of stuff he didn’t agree with. He’d read Marx for example. Subscribing to someone’s newsletter doesn’t automatically mean they agree with its contents. Someone from the FBI might have a legitimate reason to read this garbage just to keep track of what these people think. ---

It was Mark Milley. He talks about what’s he’s read in the article and Karl Marx is on the list. > **[Top General Defends Studying Critical Race Theory In The Military](https://www.npr.org/2021/06/23/1009592838/top-general-defends-studying-critical-race-theory-in-the-military)** > > Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley also said he wanted to understand "white rage" in a tense exchange that Florida Rep.
