#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “Right off the bat here, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that I think I know the name of the person who arguably, is the biggest beneficiary of Donald Trump starting an inexplicable war in #Venezuela this weekend…There is a good case to be made…that the single biggest winner in this whole situation is a person named Karen Budd-Falen…Karen Budd-Falen is the number three official in the Interior Department under Donald Trump. She also served in the same department during Trump’s first term. Karen Budd-Falen’s family has a ranch in Nevada, and there’s a company that wanted to build a huge Lithium mine in that part of Nevada, and Lithium mines…take a ton of water. During Trump’s first term, while Karen was working at the Department of the Interior, Karen’s husband sold the water rights from their ranch in Nevada to the mining company that was going to build this big mine. They said we’re gonna pay you $3.5 million for the water from your ranch, the only catch, the only contingency, is that the full deal ONLY goes ahead if our mine gets approved by the Interior Department…During Trump’s first term, she meets with the mining company, she meets with them at the cafeteria at the Interior Department…and then hey wouldn’t you know it, turns out that mine got approved, and it got approved on a FAST TRACK so it could avoid the pesky environmental reviews…”🤦‍♀️
