Could Viktor Orban's visit to CPAC a few days ago fit somehow into this

whole disgraceful, sad, treasonous saga? I don’t know much about all of this world political nonsense but if he appeared at CPAC I don’t think he is a friend of the US.

But there's also the golf tournament.

My, my, so many shady people in touch in recent times.

Someone probably heard something pretty interesting/frightening.

Just my guess. Too many little coincidences and I get suspicious.

Orban and Hungary would not have the funds. The Saudis and Russian oligarchs would.

Orban has led Hungary into autocracy, using many of the slogans and memes that Trumpistas find so alluring. No immigration. No race-mixing: “Hungarians are not a mixed-race people,” he said recently. One religion — Christianity. The old “blood and soil” trope that led Europe into so much blood and slaughter in the past.

He has spoken at CPAC more than once I believe. They love his strong-man posturing.

with their shitty position on many issues and being bigots .

I think Russia, The Middle East , North Korea, China and maybe some non state individuals or groups would be involved with selling secrets.
