It is not my intent to reveal anything beyond what I recently said on TV (and likely, even less). Given that much of that is now going through a media blender, I aim merely to organize and state clearly the things I said on television recently, so as to reduce room for misreporting.
A frequently played video in the news this past year has been a clip from the summer of 2015: a 26 year old Maria Butina standing up in a Las Vegas conference to ask Candidate Donald Trump a question. The conference was FreedomFest, an annual conference for liberals (a.k.a. “classical liberals”, “philosophical liberals,” “libertarians”) that occurs in Las Vegas each summer, when freedom-oriented people descend on Vegas for four days and hear lectures on everything from Alexis de Toqueville to Hayek, from the Magna Carta to Bitcoin to Emigrating to Panama.
A glance at the schedule of the 2015 FreedomFest will confirm that I was at that conference as well. Wednesday, the opening day, I gave the keynote (“Turtles All the Way Down: How the Crypto-Revolution Solves Intractable Problems on Wall Street”), and participated in a panel Thursday. I left Friday afternoon. Candidate Trump spoke arrived and spoke Saturday, so we never crossed paths.

Thanks. I saw him interviewed by some blonde gal on Fox, don’t know who she is. If I still have that window open I’ll try to grab the link and post it. Definitely will be later.
Here is a longer interview he did the same day with Chris Cuomo. He names Comey in this interview.

Interesting read. It changed my perception of this Byrne fellow. I had him figured for a kook but here he sounds smart, reasonable, and credible.
Thanks. I don’t think I can stand to watch Chris Cuomo though.
Besides, I’d have to chant ‘Fredo!’ about 50,000 times. :)
Yep and there is more to come out on this story.
Things are getting very interesting
Yes, that’s it! Thank you!
Bah.
fyi

I met and talked to her too some 10 years ago. She was a public person at the time. I think many would say the same. Not any pretty but overall adorable and articulate woman. It is pity to see what happened to her.
She will be free I think in six months. She will return to Russia to a high level position. PB says she wants to destroy our grid, and that Russia wants to send nuclear subs to San Diego and Hudson Bay.
In light of Putins recent posturing I am really looking forward to part 2.
I don’t think so. Russian subs are always in Hudson Bay and off San-Diego for the last 60 years, nobody is going to do a thing to a grid and Butina won’t be at any high position anymore.
She made herself a laughing stock for Russian Marxists.
Her sentence was 18 months. Last summer.
Imagine you are a vocal pro-American libertarian in a country with poor libertarian tradition and not particularly pro-American. You are intensively arguing with your opponents of the opposing views then go to America and gets imprisoned for no-crime.
If I were her I’d crawl under the rock back home not to be heard again.
But she’s not pro-American. She wants to see us destroyed.
Yep, right. In related news Trump is a Putin’s agent too.
Straighten the foil hats, gentlemen! :)
