Two top Democratic senators are asking the Pentagon and the Justice Department to investigate billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk's reported contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other top Russian officials in recent years.

Sen. Jack Reed, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a top member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, wrote a letter to Defense Department Inspector General Robert Storch and Attorney General Merrick Garland Friday, urging them to determine whether Musk's reported contacts with the Russians should force a review of the federal government's contracts with his company, SpaceX. Reuters was first to report the request.

The Wall Street Journal reported in October that Musk has been in regular contact with Putin since late 2022, and that Putin asked Musk to activate his Starlink satellite internet program over Taiwan for Chinese President Xi Jinping. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Shaheen and Reed expressed concern that giving a security clearance to someone with a reported history of Russian communications could pose a national security risk. "These relationships between a well-known U.S. adversary and Mr. Musk, a beneficiary of billions of dollars in U.S. government funding, pose serious questions regarding Mr. Musk's reliability as a government contractor and a clearance holder," the senators wrote.

I am nutz no doubt but I think that that Musk and Putin flipped the results of the election from Harris to Trump.

********************

Speaking with Russian state media on Monday, Russian presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev noted that while the U.S. election may be over, Trump is still beholden to “certain forces.”

“To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations,” Patrushev told the business daily Kommersant in response to a question about whether the outcome of the presidential election would bode well for Russia. “As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them.”

That statement was elevated by Tass, the Russian news agency.

In a curious follow-up about Trump’s susceptibility to being pressured and influenced, Patrushev made another eyebrow-raising comment: Rather than answer the question directly, the Putin aide made a point to bring up assassination attempts against the president-elect.

*****************

Remember Trump is on record as saying on Sept. 4th that voting won’t matter and then ran a bizarre campaign that should have ended his chances and Musk handled some of the critical voter data from the election via Starlink.

Expect this post to be alerted on very soon.

2. It needs to be investigated at the very least.

It's no secret that starlink has the capability, that musky-smell has the capability and had a nice chat with putin. At the very least, investigated.

3. Trump is on record as saying on September 4th

That he doesn't need any more votes and something like and after this election people
will not need to vote anymore.
.
Was the fix in?

6. Yes. We just don't know the 'how' of it yet.

[Botany]

8. My GUESS is that the voting data (the returns) were altered when they were in Musk's Starlink system.

For me for Harris to lose the Native American vote is a big red flag. Nobody in my
lifetime or in America’s history has done more to try to help our native peoples then
Joe Biden. From a million acres close to the Grand Canyon, protection and restoration
of our salmon streams, Chaco Canyon New Mexico, and having a Native American as
head of the Department of Interior the Biden/Harris administration has been very good
to the Native Peoples. And to have them vote for somebody who was so hostile to
them just doesn’t pass my smell test.

5. Why do they have to be asked to do this??

Shouldn't they be doing this automatically?

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Because we are not yet at the 1984 Gestapo/Big Brother Era yet

and DOJ, which represents most of the OTHER government agencies as "the legal arm of those agencies who do not have enforcement authority", generally operates via "referrals" and/or "tips".

If people want "Agent Mike" to be monitoring every aspect of everything that everyone does in "real time", then that is on them for the consequences.

10. If Trump had lost he would be out telling everyone his version

Where are our Democratic leaders? Where is Harris? Where is Walz? We are the other half of the US that didn't vote for a pedophile to be president.

We are a very large group. Why aren't our leaders coming out and telling us what's happening. Why are we being ghosted?

They need to explain how Trump won when he could barely get a couple thousand people to his rallies. They need to explain how every single battground state magical voted for the other guy.

Why is Joe playing all nicey nice with demented Don?

Our Democratic leaders should be out front and talking to us.

9. Garland needs a couple of months to study the letter

and then he should act.

[Zambero]

14. Meritless Garland requires four years minimum

And would still come up short.

[KPN]

11. Why the F do they have to even ask for this?!

Rome is burning while Garland fiddles. No make that Rome has burnt ...

Systems are failing the average American and have been for quite some time. No question in my mind that the two party system has gone off the rails big time ... meanwhile, there is nothing to replace it but MAGAvile.

12. Please do this asap because our military will be decimated and experienced military personnel will be fired or retire

And yes muskrat is a pal of Putin.

On January 20th Putin will take over our country in a bloodless coup. And the convicted felon will hand him the keys to our nuclear weaponry and technology and receive billions.

13. Doesn't MG have to get on a Zoom call with his buddies over at the Federalist Society for discussion?
