I just learned from Michael Shellenberger that USAID and the CIA allegedly played a role in orchestrating Donald Trump’s impeachment. He claims a CIA analyst from the Obama era wrote the memo that sparked it, which was based on information from a USAID-funded organization.

Michael Shellenberger drops a bombshell, claiming that USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Donald Trump’s impeachment.
He reveals that a CIA analyst from the Obama administration wrote the memo that led to the impeachment—a memo that relied on an organization funded by USAID.
“USAID was involved in regime change abroad—and here at home."

This is a wild story about the impeachment of President Trump. A CIA analyst, leftover from the Obama administration, wrote the memo that initiated the impeachment proceedings. This memo relied heavily on a report from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), an organization initially funded by USAID. USAID, often involved in regime change abroad, seemingly played a similar role domestically. This situation mirrors the blowback from censorship tools used abroad now being used at home. It's a serious issue, highlighting the potential for regime change efforts within the US. This is just one of many revelations to come. For more information, check out my Substack after the show.
Speaker 0: You have this new piece on Substack that the USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Trump's impeachment?
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, Jesse, it's a crazy story. I mean, you might forget that, you know, the House of Representatives impeached, president Trump in December of twenty nineteen. Many people may may not remember that it was a CIA analyst who was left over from the Obama White House who wrote the memo that led to the impeachment. It was all based on hearsay.
The person had not actually been in the room with Trump. Nonetheless, this memo that he wrote relied heavily on a report done by an organization funded by USAID. In fact, its initial founding funding, I mean, now it's tens of millions of dollars had gone into this group called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a name that's not very memorable, OCCRP, but it was basically created as an extension of the state department and then of USAID. And as you know, Jesse, this is very serious to be involved in an effort to do regime change at home as we've been discovering as the files have come out with the what Elon Musk has been doing, we know that USA USAID was really about regime change abroad. It was a kind of public facing part, you know, regime change operation like CIA, but not covert, more overt.
Well, now you see a similar blowback just like they did censorship abroad and brought censorship tools back home. They were doing this sort of thing abroad, creating a predicate essentially for Trump's impeachment. So I think it's, just one of many revelations that we'll see coming out in the next few weeks.
Speaker 0: So USAID was involved in regime change abroad and here at home. Very interesting. If you wanna read more about what Mike's talking about, go to his Substack after the show. Don't go right now. Go after the show.
Thanks, Mike.
