I mean I guess you'll get some snazzy uniforms for dragging people to the camps

I just saw Idiocracy for the first time last night.

Also I guess someone made a bomb threat at BWI airport or something? Doesn't seem like anything happened.

Fyre Festival creator dude isn't just going to get sued for every last dollar, he might go to the pokey too.

quote:

Joon H. Kim, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and William F. Sweeney Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), announced today the unsealing of a criminal Complaint charging WILLIAM McFARLAND with wire fraud, in connection with a scheme to defraud investors in a company controlled by McFARLAND, Fyre Media LLC (“Fyre Media”), as well as a related entity responsible for organizing a music festival set to take place in the Bahamas (the “Fyre Festival”). McFARLAND was arrested today in New York, New York, and is expected to be presented before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kevin N. Fox tomorrow.

Acting Manhattan U.S. Attorney Joon Kim said: “As alleged, William McFarland promised a 'life changing' music festival but in actuality delivered a disaster. McFarland allegedly presented fake documents to induce investors to put over a million dollars into his company and the fiasco called the Fyre Festival. Thanks to the investigative efforts of the FBI, McFarland will now have to answer for his crimes.”

Maximum sentence of 20 years in jail.

"The Time I Got Recruited to Collude with the Russians"

https://lawfareblog.com/time-i-got-recruited-collude-russians

Worth your time. That weird 81-year old dude named Smith that was the main focus of yesterday's WSJ story (died 10 days before the WSJ story posted, non-suspiciously) was fishing around for people to help find and/or verify HERRRR EMAAAAAAILS that he got from Russians. This Smith dude randomly contacted people he saw online to join his team and found an ex-British Intel guy named Matt Tait who was basically just posting about election poo poo for fun on his own time in a Infosec capacity, being an ex-Intel guy for the Brits. This story is written by Matt Tait and shock of shocks, this Smith guy was suspicious as all hell.

quote:

Then, a few weeks into my interactions with Smith, he sent me a document, ostensibly a cover page for a dossier of opposition research to be compiled by Smith’s group, and which purported to clear up who was involved. The document was entitled “A Demonstrative Pedagogical Summary to be Developed and Released Prior to November 8, 2016,” and dated September 7. It detailed a company Smith and his colleagues had set up as a vehicle to conduct the research: “KLS Research”, set up as a Delaware LLC “to avoid campaign reporting,” and listing four groups who were involved in one way or another.

The first group, entitled “Trump Campaign (in coordination to the extent permitted as an independent expenditure)” listed a number of senior campaign officials: Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Sam Clovis, Lt. Gen. Flynn and Lisa Nelson.

The largest group named a number of “independent groups / organizations / individuals / resources to be deployed.” My name appears on this list. At the time, I didn’t recognize most of the others; however, several made headlines in the weeks immediately prior to the election.

-----

Although it wasn’t initially clear to me how independent Smith’s operation was from Flynn or the Trump campaign, it was immediately apparent that Smith was both well connected within the top echelons of the campaign and he seemed to know both Lt. Gen. Flynn and his son well. Smith routinely talked about the goings on at the top of the Trump team, offering deep insights into the bizarre world at the top of the Trump campaign. Smith told of Flynn’s deep dislike of DNI Clapper, whom Flynn blamed for his dismissal by President Obama. Smith told of Flynn’s moves to position himself to become CIA Director under Trump, but also that Flynn had been persuaded that the Senate confirmation process would be prohibitively difficult. He would instead therefore become National Security Advisor should Trump win the election, Smith said. He also told of a deep sense of angst even among Trump loyalists in the campaign, saying “Trump often just repeats whatever he’s heard from the last person who spoke to him,” and expressing the view that this was especially dangerous when Trump was away.

Smith very well could be bullshitting. He's dead, so it's not like Mueller can talk to him. This all makes the clearest chain though, Guccifer 2.0 (Russians) --> Smith --> Trump Campaign Officials.

Wild poo poo.

They wouldn't. I went to an amazing talk on litvenyenko and they basically only picked up the alpha radiation because someone at porton down was bored and couldn't think of what else to test for.
