USAID funded an organization that fabricated evidence which was used to impeach President Trump.
The Deep State frequently funds regime change efforts abroad, but when it uses taxpayer money to undermine our own government, isn’t that treason? pic.twitter.com/7ow55Z5sqY

Michael Shellenberger at a Congressional hearing on Thursday testified about a program funded and controlled by USAID that was used to propagate Russiagate.
REP. THOMAS MASSIE (R-KY): Mr. Shellenberger, can you explain how you traced USAID funding that served as the basis for whistleblower report in 2019 which led to the impeachment of President Trump?
MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER: Sure, well you may remember that the so-called whistleblowers in the White House was actually a CIA analyst and in that whistleblower’s complaint which led to the impeachment, one of the central pieces of evidence was created by a USAID-funded and controlled organization called the OCCRP. And we have another piece out today about how it participated in the Russiagate hoax as well, creating essentially very important information leading to that. So I mean you have in USAID a much larger fund of money and a much broader strategy for information control that included censorship but also as I mentioned taking control of investigative journalism really worldwide.
I amazing. So yeah, I mean that’s an agency when we saw that get shut down by Doge, I thought that was completely appropriate. If there’s something in there that it was doing that’s valuable, then you could refund it later.
But my view, same thing with CISA, death penalty for organizations that participated in violations of the First Amendment like CISA. Cybersecurity is an extremely important function. It shouldn’t be contaminated and undermined by censorship activities.
MASSIE: I think it’s always been known that our government has funded the change in administrations, if we can say it politely, of other governments. But isn’t it borderline treason when the taxpayer, when organizations entrusted with protecting our country are now undermining our own government?
SHELLENBERGER: Absolutely. I mean if you’re trying to do regime change, illegal, if you’re weaponizing DHS, FBI, CISA, that’s treasonous regime change activities redirected that you developed abroad, that we developed abroad for regime change directed against the American people and our representatives. I mean it’s shocking and we still haven’t dealt with it as a country.

How about the rest of the story which includes Trump lawfare coordinator Norm Eisen who went from trying to put Trump in prison to suing the Trump administration about everything to thwart the will of 77M+ Americans.
Republicans should ask Norm about J6. https://t.co/zuj12sUxG8

Michael Schellenberger and Dan Bongino are covering the USAID aspect of the Trump impeachment but they are overlooking the outcome of that operation which was Norm Eisen’s first Trump impeachment which was to pre-bunk Joe Biden’s corruption before the 2020 election. The USAID story was one piece of that.
Norm then went on to work with the national security state on the lawfare portion to take out Trump. Senator Grassley exposed the operation. It was called Arctic Frost.
The National security state has been working with Norm Eisen to take out Trump since 2016. It’s called a color revolution/coup. They are continuing this effort today via lawfare (FBI case, USAID funding, all of the Trump EOs, etc).
Everyone involved should be charged with sedition and/or treason.
