DUers BumRushDaShow, yellowcanine, MontanaMama posted JD VANCE mystery trip to Montana MURDOCH ranch back when

Way before the Wall Street Journal's stories about KRASNOV in the EPSTEIN list? and KRASNOV's subsequent trademarked frivolous lawfare, intrepid DUers BumRushDaShow, yellowcanine, and MontanaMama were sniffing out the probable shennanigans, while the media only started whispers afterward about JD VANCE seeming to be up to something - like (my unsubstantiated speculation) , could it be, his hoping to replace KRASNOV?!

Maybe the NYT held back from spilling more Trump dirt which is contained in its investigative files.

I believe that the powers be want to take Krasnoyarsk down and replace him with the heir apparent….and he was meeting with them to discuss…..disguised perhaps as helping his boss….

They want their boy installed in the WH before Agent Orange brings the economic rafters completely down. Then we'll enter the Dark Enlightenment phase of the coup.

Thanks for clarifying the timeline. JD was here long before the WSJ article. It is my belief that publishing the article has been in the works for many weeks and is part of an effort to get FOTUS out of office before year end. If Maxwell is pardoned or is released from prison in exchange for her silence and or lies, the tech bros, Russell Vogt and JD will have to find another path to get him out. His health could take care of that problem. We are in for a bumpy ride regardless.
