The new Atlantic piece on Mitt Romney calls out 3 of America's smarmiest Senators, who fake their support for Trump and betray the US, but skips how they're connected: Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz & J.D. Vance owe their careers to Peter Thiel. They're owned. 1/

It's bizarre that the Atlantic links Hawley, Cruz, & Vance but won't say they share a patron. It matters who pulls their strings: Hawley and Cruz are the 2 Senators who upheld objections to the electoral vote on Jan 6. Without them, no Capitol attack. 2/

Ted Cruz, who worked on post-election maneuvers for Bush vs. Gore in 2000, was Thiel's first successful political project. Thiel funded Cruz's run for TX Attorney General in 2009, then for Senate in 2012. Cruz won with the help of Ali Alexander's set. 3/
Thiel has managed Hawley for decades. Hawley wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review. Thiel helped Hawley found Teneo in 2008, then funded his run for Senate. (James O'Keefe tipped the election to Hawley with dirty tricks; this gang is all linked.) 4/

Hawley's Teneo was in the news recently - ProPublica and Esquire wrote about how dangerous it is - but bizarrely left out that Josh Hawley was a founder. These links matter; it's irresponsible to leave them out. 5/

Sen. JD Vance of Ohio is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peter Thiel. Thiel met law student Vance in 2011, then became his patron: installed him at Mithril Capital in 2016; set him up with Narya Capital in 2019; gave him a slot at 2019 NatCon, spent $10M running him for Senate. 6/
The Atlantic nailed the insincerity of Senators Hawley, Cruz, and Vance, their "oily disingenuousness". (Mitt Romney: "I donβt know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance".) But they left out the WHY - the money, and the paymaster, Thiel. 7/

After the Jan 6 Capitol attack, Roger Stone sought "pre-emptive" pardons for Hawley and Cruz. They are in deep. The Jan 6 "Big Timeline" has 58 entries for Hawley, 41 for Cruz, and 12 for Vance. It's worth a read. 8/
