Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee alleged that Vladimir Putin possesses a comprehensive kompromat file on Donald J. Trump. He didn’t suggest it. He stated it. The file, he said, is extensive, meticulously documented, and designed not to destroy Trump — but to control him.
According to Mussayev, the kompromat includes financial records showing illicit transactions connected to accounts either owned by Trump or clearly affiliated with his name. It also contains statements from operatives who were directly involved in kompromat operations — individuals who could, if necessary, provide witness testimony confirming the authenticity and intent behind the material. Most damning of all, he claims, are the recordings: audio and video documentation of sexual crimes against minors and acts of violence against women.

We’ve paid down more than $12 billion in debt, eliminated the old bill backlog, and grown our Rainy Day Fund from near zero to more than $2.5 billion. We have given Illinois a stronger financial cushion to protect taxpayers, invest, and grow even during hard times.

Illinois is ranked second in the nation for corporate expansions and relocations for four consecutive years.   Chicago is the nation’s number one metro for corporate projects.   And we’re just getting started.

A while back when SCOTUS ordered Trump to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, Roberts said “courts must show due regard and deference” to him on national security matters. Since then, he’s used it to justify everything from the ballroom to the arch, mass deportation, boat strikes, and now this.
