    EXCLUSIVE: Flint's Adam Murphy was removed from a #FlintWaterCrisis town hall by state officials. Weeks later, Gov Snyder's top adviser was in his living room. You'll be my "lead poster child," Adam was told w/ the offer for MI-funded medical treatment. But there was a catch...pic.twitter.com/qULfnax4lI

        Richard Baird, who called himself Snyder's "best friend," offered Adam—who was sick w/ seizures & severe cognitive problems after drinking Flint's toxic water—chelation treatment. But Baird told Adam/then-wife they couldn't go to the media or reveal the state was paying for it...pic.twitter.com/a0KCvox1Tx

        Baird, known in MI government & in Flint as Gov. Snyder's right-hand man and "fixer," framed the state paying for Adam's treatment as a "pilot program." If the chelation was successful at removing lead from Adam's body, the state would make it available to more of Flint...pic.twitter.com/zrr4sfpfgx

        Snyder's right-hand man told Adam/then-wife Christina she'd get treatment when done breastfeeding their newborn (born w/ lead in his blood). This never happened. When Snyder left office, MI stopped paying for Adam's treatment. Adam says this was all part of Snyder's "hush fund"..pic.twitter.com/pdia7BGfVI

        Adam on whether Snyder and/or Baird should be prosecuted: "To the fullest...people are dying, people have died; if I poisoned you I should be prosecuted to the fullest...not brushed under the rug and said 'oh well you're the government.' Six years later nobody's in prison."pic.twitter.com/QLG23zuc8u

        Adam/Christina both allege to us that Baird, Snyder's right-hand-man, told them he was going to go talk to his "best friend" Snyder about this "pilot program" (Adam's treatment). We learned Baird told other residents HE WAS PAYING FOR ADAM'S TREATMENT out of his own pocket...

        But emails/text messages we reviewed show Gov Snyder's administration was paying for Adam's treatment beginning in 2017 through the end of 2018. The chelation treatment, which extracts heavy metals like lead from one's body, helped to dramatically lower Adam's blood lead levels..

        We also uncovered: 1) Snyder was warned about hazards of Flint River as a drinking water source a year before the 2014 water switch (& allowed it anyway) 2) Snyder became aware of the deadly Legionella outbreak in Flint in October 2014--16 months earlier than he told Congress.

        5) Snyder and his top officials "punished" Flint's Mayor constantly--according to @karenaboutflint, who spoke with us---by reneging on funding promises to Flint after she refused their REPEATED attempts to declare Flint's water safe to residents.

        7) Snyder and his administration were investigated like it had “committed conspiracies of ongoing crimes, like an organized crime unit,” a source with knowledge of the probe told us/@VICE.
