1. Sad That It Took Brazil To Do This

“Miller announced the trip last week, proudly declaring that he would be joining Donald Trump Jr. for CPAC Brazil.

Jason Miller, a long-time aide to Donald Trump, announced last week he would be traveling to Brazil to participate in a CPAC event there. Now, there are reports he has been detained by the government for what’s being referred to as anti-democratic activity.

Lots and lots of stuff I didn't know.

8. Its stunning but not surprising. We've always heard of certain names involved

But to read the long timeline Cohen presents is a read of how they came full circle today.

Key Facts

Miller told Forbes in a statement he and others he was traveling with for the Conservative Political Action Conference in Brazil were “questioned for three hours” at an airport in the capital city of Brasilia.

Miller claimed he was “not accused of any wrongdoing” and that police told him they only “‘wanted to talk,’” adding that he told the officers he had “nothing to say” and was later released to fly back to the U.S.

Miller was detained by Brazilian federal police as part of an investigation into “anti-democratic acts” after meeting with Bolsonaro, according to Brazilian news outlet Metrópoles, which first reported the development.

According to the outlet, the order to question Miller came from Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre De Moraes, who in August opened an investigation into unproven claims by Bolsonaro that Brazil’s federal elections in 2022 will be rife with fraud...

9. Imagine the dirty underground game that's barely reaching the surface of news

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy was well noted & the same players back in the 90's are still here leading the coup we see today.

10. Why would Brazil have an insurrection? He's already the President

Bolsonaro isn't up for re-election for at least 2 years, am I right?

If Junior is down there stirring up trouble with his CPAC, it wouldn't surprise me. If Jason Miller is helping out, that wouldn't surprise me either. But insurrection in Brazil makes no sense. Bolsonaro is already in power.

14. His approval rating is way down

Looks like he might lose next year's election. He has been saying the election machines can be rigged and wants changes. Not sure he will wait for the election.

13. Let's make a deal with Brazil

If they keep Jason Miller, they can have Stephen Miller too.
