Many thanks to Maryann Gebauer for this interview, which is all about Reiner Fuellmich and the Corona Investigative Committee.

* Fuellmich’s clandestine withdrawal of €30,000/month for 17 months for his firm to “deal with emails”;

* the lack of evidence that Fuellmich was actually a trial lawyer in the VW and Deutsche Bank cases;

* cognitive dissonance among Fuellmich supporters;

* Justus Hoffmann and Antonia Fischer’s attempt to sue Viviane Fischer for €4.5 million;

* the strange circumstances around the sale of Fuellmich’s house;
