Remember that he took Pompeo out of CIA last time and put a career person in. CIA has had to “take charge” of things like Ukraine because it gets much intel wrong and has little else to offer…may be more about it not being in a position to do much of anything…aside from leak things to the papers…

the GOP is an adjunct to Netanhayu, Likud and whatever parties spawned loathsome creeps like Ben Gvir and Smotrich. the GOP serves Israel. that is the only reason is exists. Trump has good instincts maybe but once again, Israel uber alles, with endless pandering and promotion of Israel’s satanic evil as “defending freedom.”

I almost don’t even care. Politics in the USA is nothing more than who can scarf down the most Israeli dick. F*ck the USA, a gangster nation since lincoln which has risen to noisome glory as a bagman for the zionist scum, who once they have the USA fully stocked with Indians will eliminate the Christians. there are not sufficient words in English to convey my loathing and disgust for Israel, the USA, and the GOP scum who worship Israel.

Yes, the money laundering within Congress and NGOs is astronomical. We could wipe out poverty in the US if we focused on Americans instead of letting these parasites misuse our money. Pet peeve for me....

I remember that, a few years ago, someone wrote about Trump team members with government authority NOT insisting/demanding/suing the government to release documentary evidence of every scandal falsely prosecuted throughout Trump's first term. The reason given for people like Devin Nunes, Kash Patel, John Ratcliffe, et cetera, not forcing the facts into the sunlight of the public square is because the Deep State surveillance holds threatening power to retaliate against individuals who would release the full truth in each particular scandal. Take away all level security clearances from someone, or sic a grand jury indictment on someone would destroy their livelihood as "insiders" with "conections". So, insiders talk and talk, but do not step over the red lines which are pre-established by the System---i.e. systemic corruption.

Honestly, if Trump believes he can pull the wool over the voting public's eyes with policy actions not in accord with his election campaign's promised implications of fair treatment of other nations, and cleaning out the neocon war machine, he will be called out and brought to shame by his own followers who really do believe in MAGA fairness, MAGA goodness, and The Truth at all cost.

Trey Gowdy is Ratcliffe's BFF? God help us. This is torture. Gowdy is a loser at every level.

Do you think Gowdy's suppression is the reason that Clinton's got away with the assistance of the 3 Amigos, Mueller, Comey & Rosenstein ?

Yes, but I think they threatened him and his family so he botched it.

I met him at a Mick Mulvaney event in Rock Hill several years ago, he's got that Southern charm that Mick lacks🤣

I'm convinced that he was threatened and it's unfortunate that he wasted millions of dollars in an investigation that we all knew would be derailed. Hillary has as many bodybags as Barack Obama & George Bush.

I haven’t heard Trump on the election trail saying he was going to relive for all the Russian hoax files. Maybe i missed that. I don’t think Trump has much interest in that now.

As for Radcliffe… in his prior intel role I’m sure his best friend and others counseled him to stay far away. As for 2.0 Trump i believe with the popular vote numbers as the wind for his sail picks such as Radcliffe et al will be holding the door for Trump.

I’m more interested in the Elon/Vivek announcement on govt efficiency. That’ll be the most watched piece now until July 4 2026.

Sundance:

Mike Waltz comes from inside the IC machinery and there is a lot more to be concerned about than there is to be optimistic about.

Waltz has publicly said, engaged with, and acted upon, National Security Information (NSI) products, intelligence information, that is demonstrably false and fraudulent.

Overzealous Waltz could bring problems.

I think AG in particular, because DoJ can force FBI to do the actual investigating. FBI can do that, still, if required to do so by a strong leadership at DoJ. DNI can help.
