Anyone still tethered to facts and logic would see this—criminal probe of a senior Democratic US Senator by the Biden-appointed black US Attorney in Manhattan—and think it badly undermines the GOP’s claims that Democrats have “weaponized” @TheJusticeDept. https://t.co/4TBugwF0c7

Derek Guy, the popular men's tailoring guy, is on the part of the story that concerns him:

if you hide money and gold bars in a tailored jacket, you should get your jackets made with a poacher's pocket, which is a large internal pocket on the lower half of the garment, enforced by a strap that connects to the armhole. hunters used these to hide game from gamekeepers pic.twitter.com/f6HjSxSmRs

Another way to hide gold is to hollow out your heels. According to company lore, John Lobb of St. James in London used to make shoes like this for gold miners who wished to hide bounty. I imagine a bespoke shoemaker can still make something like this for you today. pic.twitter.com/BTWjLAKJA9

Why is this better/different than any other internal pocket

it's much larger. the original intent was to hide something like a small bird or a rabbit. but as you can see in the photo, you can also use it to hold magazines and sandwiches. functions like a tote bag.

Like east-end tailors in london would make a suit jacket with a cosh pocket, so as to hide the bulge...

Andrew Yang:

Imagine having been investigated for corruption and then still taking the gold bars a few years later.
