In late 2016, federal agents showed up at the Fort Myers, Florida, homes of brothers Brian and Edward Krassenstein, seizing computers and financial records, and hauling off with at least 20 to 30 bundles of stuff.
At the time, the story was just a notable blip on local medias crime blotter. But in the two years since, the Krassensteins have become more than a pair of local businessmen. Theyre now prominent members of the online anti-Trump resistance.
According to the feds, they also, until recently, ran websites that propped up fraudulent online financial scams. Law-enforcement officials last year seized nearly half a million dollars from the brothers, money that prosecutors say was derived from wire fraud. The Krassensteins, who have not been charged with any crimes, maintain that they did nothing wrong or illegal.
The brothers remain extremely popular in corners of the anti-Trump left, having parlayed their vehement, often conspiratorial opposition to the president into social-media fame, with well over a million followers between them. They also run the standalone news websites Independent Reporter and Hill Reporter where, like Twitter, their brand of #Resistancea label that they eschew, but which aptly fits their frequent calls for the impeachment and prosecution of the presidenthas galvanized Trump critics.

So there stuff was seized under Obama’s admin. Interesting.
If you look at any of Trump’s tweets, these idiots show up with multiple vile tweets almost immediately after Trump’s initial tweet.
Many are bots.
all the time and instantaneously...
Probably, but these two a-holes' names appear on their tweets. Rex & Wictor have written a few threads about them.
I believe this is the appropriate response.

To destroy it and to hide it like the evidence of fraud and sedition from other Trump Haters from DC and to the outer fringes of our country in 2106.
Thanks. Will check it out.
Pound resistance.
I notice that too, well here comes the Trump Curse ooops I mean Karma =)
Personally, I’d like to compliment these brave businessmen for sopping up dollars from folks who support Trump resistance.
Better it go to lavish self-indulgences and income than to actually resist, eh?
This reminds me of something I heard on the radio the other day. At what point do you think the folks that started the “women’s movement” #MeToo realize they actually named their movement “Pound Me Too”?
