Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk about a threat to our democracy named Chris LaCivita, who is one of Trump’s two senior campaign people. The other, Susie Wiles, also deserves more scrutiny. This is their space in the MAGA Meltdown Maltego Graph.

The usual rules apply - don’t send documents, don’t send links, just give me text Google searches that will lead to the content.
