It just popped into my head after reading this, “… It also suggests that they are very fearful that Trump will prioritize a full airing of the Russia Hoax. One which would implicate large swathes of the Deep State/Ruling Class.”
I remember all of the material they were after by performing the “raid” on the underwear drawer. At the time it was brought up that the material might be sort of an insurance policy. All of the docs and info related to the “hoax.” The high trump card if you will. Now that he’s back, he has that material back and more. And he now has the declassification authority to go with it. Now of course the deep state will claim that the “interagency” actually is the controlling authority for declassification. Greasy slime ball shit going on.
When the FBI raided the underwear drawer, they found a top secret envelope. With bated breath, the agents opened it. Inside was a single piece of paper.
Nowadays there should be a digital record of virtually everything. Losing or destroying isn't so easy and is very obvious. Same goes for emails and texts, etc.
Trump is controlling the news cycle. The cyber truck in his motorcade is brilliant. Plus the boxing match appearance.
And he’s playing rope a dope with his opposition. He’s using his bully pulpit and going around the censorship of the press by using social media for announcements. No jim Acosta showboating this time.
The transgender bathroom house of reps fight smells of Trump. And the msm can’t stop covering it.
Some of the cabinet appointments are lightning rods, but Trump has judged them winnable fights. The apology of the view to Gaetz tells me Trump and is organization are fighting. Very not how the eGOP does business.
Bottom line the fbi director nominee will be somebody very anti establishment. Trump remembers Bill Barr, Rosenstein, Comey, Whey, Mueller, etc. All career government, sold as supposedly non partisan, and were in reality very anti Trump.
I've been wondering what Vance was up to. He and Rubio are admittedly in a difficult position as part of the transition, but it was an ill judged tweet. They need to find a way.
Re the backgrounds, for many years the FBI has routinely subcontracted background investigations to private firms that are heavily staffed by, yep, retired FBI agents--but also other federal retirees who had held clearances. However, the FBI retained control over high profile nominations. Partly that was to show the importance of the process at such levels but it was a process that could be abused. During busy periods, like transitions, everyone had to pitch in--background investigations weren't a prestige job. What Trump has done, cleverly, has been to go straight to the subcontractors. It seems this can be done without waiting for the FBI to decide whether to handle the investigation themselves or to subcontract it.
One minute Mika Brzezinski is tearing up on the View, telling of the threat represented by Donald Trump's re-election. Next, she's at Mir-a-Lago meeting with him for six hours to reset relations.
I admit it; she had me fooled. I thought that she was a true believer. Now I know the truth, she and Joe will say anything for the money, fame and influence.
Exactly the same applies to Europe and its relationship (bondage) to the US: “why can’t (Scholz, Macron, fill in the blank) grasp this opportunity to free themselves and their successors from being controlled by their blackmailers.” Especially this latest “F—k the EU,” ATACMs version. It puts the Euros - or wedges them - more firmly than ever into insignificance, a very dangerous place.

"Epstein didn't kill himself", was all it said.

Gut Feeling…

And either Vance and Rubio dropped the ball, or they are up to their eyeballs in transition stuff to get the Trump agenda going from day 1:

And Trump is using outside agencies to do background checks, going around the fbi:

Ray, good thoughts, as usual, from you.

Mr. Wauck, don't you know, or care, that Sue Gordon said on CBS News, that it's a mistake for Trump to bypass the FBI?
It's amazing how clueless these people in the fourth branch of government are. To say nothing of the fifth branch (the media).
Speaking of the msm which Ray mentions above, they can’t “stop covering themselves” with shame and ridicule! Pro- or Anti- Trump? Which is it Joe and Mika, Hitler, or someone we can do business $$$ with?!

It's performance art at its worst.
Artful yes, art no!

Cass, good thoughts.
My reply to your question. They'd invent them.
Speaking of Crossfire Hurricane, why that name? A sick joke? Innocent people will be caught in a hurricane of crossfire?
thanks for tip -- wouldn't ever see that in the normal course -- is likely only tip of iceberg of all corrupt stuff going on by DS
