It was back here that I rambled on incessantly about the highly questionable (and exceedingly lucrative) Ezra Levant-arranged fundraiser for right-wing hack Millie Weaver, whose arrest was not, as she suggested, part of the nefarious "Deep State," but simply for more mundane charges of her and a couple others assaulting her mother and stealing her mother's cell phone.
Unsurprisingly, you won't read any of the more mundane stuff at the fundraiser itself, which carefully omits any mention of the basis for the arrest. Even more amusingly, the updates at that fundraiser end on August 17, coincidentally the very day the indictment was unsealed and everyone and their ferret finally figured out they'd been suckered and were just a little pissed:
However, there is a teeny tiny detail that's worth pointing out, and that's that Weaver, in the process of being arrested, was quite clearly told what she was being arrested for. If you peruse the YouTube self-video of Weaver's arrest here, as Weaver is being led out of the house by authorities, you can hear clearly around the 1:58 mark someone off-camera saying, "You're being charged with burglary," whereupon a clearly shocked Weaver repeats more loudly, "Burglary!?!?"
That is what the kids these days call "Busted!", as Weaver, during her arrest, is clearly told at least part of the charges against her, which means the next three days of the fundraiser insisting it had no idea what the arrest was for was obviously misleading -- there is no question about that.
I'm just trying to be helpful.
BONUS TRACK: Even as the fundraiser organizers insisted for the first three days that they had no idea what the charges were, the very day after Weaver's arrest, one web site managed to suss out most of the details:
