Masks are required on commercial flights. This was a chartered flight. I am probably safe in assuming that everyone on that flight was vaccinated.

Still bad optics.

Possibly. If they were wearing masks, people would just come up with something else to nitpick. The worse optics remain Texas gutting voting rights.

The Presidentās Executive Order required masks on private aircraft as well. And at FBO facilities.
Youāre right on this.

Easy cross-post to the facepalm thread.
Even if they are holding water in one hand to sorta get around the mask mandate, it send all kinds of wrong messages.

It being a chartered flight to begin with is bad optics, a chartered flight with no masks looks like you would never been seen with a poor.

The father, referred to in French media reports as Olivier B., was vice-president of the Dijon judicial court where he ran the family affairs division.

Quelle surprise. Thatās got to be a pretty sloppy vetting procedure (but, mediocre creepy white men, amirite?). We got a guest lecturer from the child abuse team in the local police once, who said that even expressing an interest in the job got your whole life put under the microscope. Clearly not the same for this guy.

Holy shit!! And itās not even a USian judge! (Honestly, I am equal parts shocked and relieved at that. And not certain which reaction speaks more ill of us.)

Given his conviction that Ted Kaczynski was right about technology and the fact that he somehow has avoided arrest by the US - it seems very likely that heās working undercover for a US Intelligence Agency.
His co-conspirators should act accordingly to protect themselves.

And even if heās not, itās still lobbing the apple of discord into a deserving bunch: āFor the fascist!ā

Just look at it. Heās at the center of several criminal and off book intelligence financial transactions.
Yet heās free. That shows protection from on high. His usefulness will eventually come to an end, of course. Then those networks will be rolled up and theyāll exfiltrate him somewhere in witness protection.
The Russians will need to cover their tracks too. I wouldnāt order tea out if I were one his partners then.
