hey if anyone was wondering what scandal trump was trying to distract from with his twitter tantrump earlier today, well, now we know - and it’s a big one!

the washington post published an article a few hours ago claiming that the founder of blackwater (eric price) held a secret meeting on january 11th (the day after buzzfeed dropped the steel dossier) at seychelles to establish a back channel between trump and putin

and hey, guess who eric prince’s sister is?

betsy fucking devos

so if you needed anymore proof that she didn’t exactly get the job as education secretary based on her “qualifications”, here you go.

however, the game of “connect the dots” doesn’t stop here. remember when the FBI said they were still investigation an ‘odd’ computer link between a russian bank and the trump organization?

well, the russian bank (alfa bank) only accounted for 80% of the lookups. the remaining 20% belonged to a company called spectrum health, a medical facility chain

and who’s the leader of spectrum health?

none other than dick devos, the husband of betsy devos

Y'ALL THIS IS HUGE OMFG

What really shocks me is the extent to which all of these people seem to be related to one another. It is a testament to the extent that wealth has become both concentrated and hereditary in a country that used to pride itself on its entrepreneurial spirit.
