This Citizen Investigator is watching them with both eyes open. Don’t quote me on any of this, but one would hope someone at the #CIA or #FBI can listen in on these calls between Putin Trump/Elon and let’s hope at some point justice prevails.

What follows is simply one citizen’s attempt to document observations that seem potentially concerning. All claims require thorough verification before any conclusions can be drawn.
