Budaatum. Accountability is coming one way or another. Trump has promised to investigate Michael Byrd who shot Ashli Bobbitt on Jan 6. He was promoted after that. Cops have been jailed for shooting an attacker, using neck restraints, driver extending his hands to unhook a seat belt,etc. Byrd shot someone in the neck without warning , who had several Capitol policemen behind her.

As terrible as Tinubu is, I will be dammed to see him defending such a mess like this.

Budaatum. Set a reminder on this.I have reported allegations of Pfizer delaying announcement of covax until after elections.They announced promising trials 9 days after elections 2020.Had they announced before it woulda made Trump look good

Soon after President Trump won the presidential election in November, British drugmaker GSK brought an unusual claim to federal prosecutors in Manhattan, according to people familiar with the matter.

A senior GSK scientist, who formerly worked at rival Pfizer, had told GSK colleagues that Pfizer delayed announcing the success of its Covid vaccine in 2020 until after that year’s election.

The scientist disputes that account of what he told colleagues. But prosecutors are taking a closer look at what GSK shared with them, which is potentially politically explosive. Trump for years has claimed that Pfizer sat on the positive results of clinical trials, which could have reflected well on his management of the pandemic. There has never been evidence to support the accusation, and the development of the Covid vaccines is widely viewed as a medical miracle, coming faster than any other vaccine in history.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has interviewed at least two people in connection with the allegation, including a GSK executive who took notes of a conversation with the former Pfizer scientist, according to one of the people familiar with the matter.


We also know that 51 former Intelligence Community top shots lied openly that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Weeks to election.
To prove you have no brains, you believed them just as you believe the enemedia today.

These young press staffers, they were sort of dog trained to make the questions conditional for interviews.

It was really unethical to be doing that, but these kids are really taught to make that a part of their pre screening for interviews."

MAGA has really done a number on you. There’s nothing you say that is not a regurgitation of unverified maga talking points. Since you yourself are ineligible to vote (that’s if you’re even in the USA) have you tried to go to voting booth and tried for yourself to see how easy it is to vote as a non-citizen?

I know I couldn’t legally register to vote until I got my citizenship. You guys just swallow whatever lies and run with it. They create propaganda around non or rare issues and tell you it’s happening at such a scale as have never been seen before. And because you love lies, you don’t even pause to verify.

Why would anyone risk jail or possible deportation/ban from ever entering the country again just to vote? If that makes sense to you then I don’t know what to tell you.
The guy that’s getting y’all riled up says he knows intuitively but can’t prove it. Ain’t that convenient.🙄

The issue of illegals voting I agree doesn't seem widespread, very very few indictments. Three things though.
One.
Some states want or have allowed non citizens to vote in municipal elections. Implication. This is in democrat run states I believe , it also guarantees democrats a win because illegals and non citizens rights are more amplified by democrats They are more likely to vote for anything with a D before the name.
Two.
In the census everyone is counted. Democrats really push for this. When redistricting happens , congressional seats are increased in locales where the population has significantly increased. Implication. In democrat strongholds with an increased population of both citizens and non citizens, they get more seats in Congress.
Three.
With mailin voting ballots being sent to everyone on the voter rolls , those who have moved out but are still existing in previous states where they resided get ballots. Democrats have a well oiled machinery to collect these ballots. There were cases of voters being marked active ,got mailed a ballot ,then switched back to inactive after elections
*** FBI never investigated this.

Hence.
Voter ID is a hindrance to democrat long goals of turning the USA permanently blue.

Laura Ingraham:
Is someone in your intel team trying to cause trouble here? Because that’s the scuttlebutt out there.

Mike Waltz:
We have people… No. Look, this is a great group. The President has a great team. This is not first-term.

Laura Ingraham:
No, your team. I’m not talking about the other principals?

Mike Waltz:
No, no, no. These were principals and a couple of staff that were coordinating, as you saw, having a policy discussion as we went forward. Then, just in the days before, what was an incredible strike. But not only did we take out people that the Biden team never could, we took out headquarters, missile caches, and actually one of the leaders of the Houthi organization. We’ve since taken out several since. That’s what they don’t want to talk about.

…It’s embarrassing, yes. We’re going to get to the bottom of it. I just talked to Elon on the way here. We’ve got the best technical minds looking at how this happened. But I can tell you for 100%, I don’t know this guy.
Mike Waltz:
Well, look, a staffer wasn’t responsible. Look, I take full responsibility. I built the group. My job is to make sure everything’s coordinated. But how does that—I don’t mean to be pedantic here, but how did the number get into the chat? Have you ever had somebody’s contact that shows their name, and then you have somebody else’s number there?

Laura Ingraham:
I never make those mistakes.

Mike Waltz:
You’ve got somebody else’s number on someone else’s contact. Of course, I didn’t see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical means is something we’re trying to figure out.

Laura Ingraham:
A staffer did not put his contact information?

Mike Waltz:
Of course not. No.

Laura Ingraham:
But how did it end up in your phone?

Mike Waltz:
That’s what we’re trying to figure out.

Laura Ingraham:
But that’s a pretty big problem.

Mike Waltz:
That is why we’ve got the best technical minds, right? That’s disturbing. I’m sure everybody out
therehas had a contact where it said one person and then a different phone number.

Laura Ingraham:
But you’ve never talked to him before, so how’s the number on your phone? I’m not an expert in any of this, but it’s just curious. How’s the number on your phone? Someone sent you that contact?

Mike Waltz:
Well, if you have somebody else’s contact and then somehow it gets sucked in…

Laura Ingraham:
Was there someone else supposed to be on the chat that wasn’t on the chat—that you thought was on the chat? That you thought was on there??

Mike Waltz:
The person that I thought was on there was never on there. It was this guy.

Laura Ingraham:
Who was that person?

Mike Waltz:
Well, I’m not—look, Laura, I take responsibility. I built the group. But look, that’s the part we have to figure out. That’s the part that we were… Embarrassing, yes, but Pete and I are veterans. We know these operations. He has been an excellent Secretary of Defense, and this was an operation that—I mean, it amazes me. I guess the Democrats were fine to leave all the sea lanes shut down. We’re fine to have destroyers fired on dozens of times by this terrorist group and fine to have Iran keep supplying them with missiles. That was okay. The President takes decisive action. Now we’re seeing some real success in taking down their air defenses, opening the sea lanes, taking out their leadership. We don’t want to talk about that. We don’t want to talk about this.

Just because they are protesting Hamas does not mean they love Israel.

Yippee. Trump yesterday signed an Executive Order declassifying FBI Crossfire Hurricane 2016 investigation. He had already declassified them in 2021, .But Chris Wray refused to release them.Citing national security. What balderdash. National Security is not covering up fake documents used to obtain a FISA warrant on the Trump campaign team by Obama.
Notice how politico frames this EO as if there is no there there.


President Donald Trump revived an old grudge against the FBI on Tuesday, declassifying materials related to the bureau’s previous investigation of alleged collusion between his 2016 campaign and Russia and sanctioning a law firm tied to one of the key figures from that investigation.

During an afternoon meeting with U.S. ambassadors, Trump signed a memorandum declassifying all FBI files related to “Crossfire Hurricane,” .....
The memorandum directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to make those documents public immediately


"You probably won’t bother because you’re not going to like what you see," Trump told journalists, " But this was total weaponization. It’s a disgrace. It should have never happened in this country. But now you’ll be able to see for yourselves. All declassified."

The FBI on July 31, 2016, opened
“Frankly, the FBI should be ashamed of themselves and so should the Department of Justice and so should Biden,” Trump said. At the end of the nearly two year-long investigation, Mueller did not find evidence that Trump had criminally conspired with Russia, and declined to render a judgment on whether he had obstructed the investigation. Trump was never charged in relation to the investigation and has denied all wrongdoing


I've been hoping for an expose of the every rotten thing James Comey and his gang did in 2016,then taken up by Mueller in 2017.
Man, this was nothing short of treason. FBI sought to infiltrate his campaign, when he won the spared no effort to remove him.

Note. Judge Boasberg was likely one of the 4 judges who signed the FISA warrants, he was also the one who oversaw the review of the abuses of the spying FISA warrants. He appointed Mary McCord as amicus curiae in his review. He knew very well that Mary McCord was the one who presented the warrants to FISA courts while she was the Acting Assistant AG at DOJ National Security Division, basically the head of that division .

Popcorn time, I hoped I'll see the day when all those rotten deep state criminals are exposed.
Trump has removed Hillary Clinton and Perkins Coie security clearances. Hillary paid for the fake Cris Steele dossier through the lawfirm of Perkins Coie. He also removed Andrew Weissman clearance, he was the lead investigator of Robert Mueller's inquisition. Meant to cover up Spygate and find grounds to remove Trump from power.
The chicken are coming home to roost. Another name to watch. Marc Elias, former partner of Perkins Coie who left the firm in 2021 and is today the top Democrats unlawful lawsuits attorney.

Why or how is he aware his invite was an error when he didn't even know if the group he was invited to was legit or a spoof?

And why does he not have the right to read what he received when he thought it was a spoof and didn't come with a warning that it was classified, which he wouldn't even know if it was unless he read it?

As to admitting whether he did read it, I think we know the answer to that. In fact, not only did he read it, he has provided extracts for you to read too. So by your reckoning, you and I and the entire world risk imprisonment, lol. Unless you are one of those lucky or savvy ones who covered your eyes to what he published so you couldn't read it.

It's how the Espionage Act works actually. And it comes down to security clearance. In the world of Intelligence, never mind the MAGAbots, procedure applies when clearing an individual to handle confidential information. . All these folks who work around government and media understand the basics of this.

Therefore, regardless of being invited to the chat, in the world of the NSA, that doesn't equate to security clearance. The reporter is very well aware that said invitation is erroneous, and consequently must treat everything handled as classified.

He will have to answer the question, did you or did you not know that your invitation was an error? And that's where everything falls apart.

No, he does not have every right to read it. He may, but he can never admit that he did. If he does, he risks imprisonment.


Spot on 1000% correct. He knew he was in hallowed grounds and used the mistake or whatever to inflict damage. Traitor that's what he is.

Let's not forget the premise of my assessment. The conversation was not carried out in a SCIF. And considering this is a high-profile meeting of the 6 most-senior national security officials in the country and more, a file of two were shared about the war plans.

The premise of my conclusions is based entirely on this. If any files were shared on the app, they would have been clearly marked minium, TOP- SECRET. If such files were in there and reporter goes on to read them, he can never admit that he did. If he does, he has no security clearance to do so, and it would become a crime. That's how it works.



Look at the publication from Jeffery Golberg himself. The title alone gives away the fact that he became aware at some point that he was added erroneously. And also, very crucially, he removed himself from the group. This is consciousness of the situation.


His story is beautifully written. He feigned not knowing it was real until he saw reports of the bombings on X. It's good legal cover. But as a senior reporter, he knew that if he continued to stay on the group, he would be in breach of the Espionage Act. And so he removed himself, despite being accidentally added.


He declined to publish the name of an active CIA operative on the group. He also declined quoting from certain texts messages from Pete Hegseth, because of the classification of the information, and potential endangerment of American Military Operations. He did so because, again, he became aware, and if he did publish, that would be a crime.

To be honest, you and I are on the same side of this argument. We are being side tracked by this nuance of right and wrong. It's not necessary.

Let's fall back to the MAGAbots responsible for/defending this atrocious security breach.

The moment he realized he was added , he should have immediately alerted the whole group. He didn't. Someone swapped basilico contact number in that group ,no wonder I didn't get any info. Who swapped my number with Jerry Goldberg? I also want to know.
If it's Mike Waltz,too bad he should be fired.It could even be his wife,who is more qualified in matters security having served Trump 1.0 as homeland security advisor..
As to the CIA agent he refused to disclose, it's been clarified that was Mike Waltz staff. Goldberg's hands have been caught in the cookie jar.
Him and the disgruntled staffer who removed my number Again if he is really a CIA agent they have to protect his identity. He could be an infiltrator within the ranks of the Houthi ,exposing him would be risking counterintelligence efforts.

I'm using my handle figuratively to make it simple for you to understand.
Whether he removed himself from the group is irrelevant.He was persona non grata in that group and he knew it within minutes of being added.

The group text is irrelevant. Who added Goldberg is irrelevant. What matters is that they are willfully and deliberately using an unclassified system for classified info.

It is not incompetence, they know exactly what they are doing. If any of us did that, we would be fired on the spot, investigated, and possibly charged with a big beautiful crime. That I can tell you!

CIA Ratcliffe confirmed at the Senate hearing that they use Signal. I had also posted this yesterday.
There was no wrong doing in using the group, the presence of Goldberg is the problem. It matters who swapped his number , when it was done and how long his number has been on the contact list.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe outlines how the Signal App is a CIA approved “permissible” tool for encrypted communication, and the app was pre-loaded onto his devices by CIA personnel.

Mystery solved.

It was the correct name being added to the group but the number belonging to Jerry Goldberg.
Obviously a mistake , intentional or just bad luck.
If it was intentional I would go for those who don't like Ukraine policy, there are obviously many in the intelligence community . I would think the CIA or FBI manage Signal and other messaging security.

Jerry Goldberg should be indicted. If you found yourself solo in a secure area , having been invited or not without security clearance, you ought to get the hell out of there asap. He kept quiet ,waited until the Senate intelligence hearing to release the details ,in addition he also embellished the details. Added his own analysis of what if Houthis had a heads up. My take. It was sabotage and immediately they went for Hegseth.
Probably he has been lurking in there for a while till the day he hit paydirt. Goldberg knew he was in a secure area that's out of bounds. He stayed gobbling up secrets ,bidding his time,waiting for the opportune moment to inflict maximum damage to the government. That I think can be treasonous. It stinks,he most likely wasn't acting alone.

Judge Patricia A. Millett, who serves on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

In recent remarks, Millett claimed that Nazis received “better treatment” under the Alien Enemies Act than the violent gangsters deported by the Trump administration.

“There were planeloads of people,” Millett said during a hearing about the legality of the deportation flights.

“There were no procedures in place to notify people.”

Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act than has happened here.


This is a judge that Obama nominated to the DC Court of Appeals. Noone should ever praise the the US justice system. It's totally bleeped up beyond repair. Should DOJ charge democrats for treason ,these judges will simply throw out or stonewall the cases.
Judge Boasberg has said that everyone should get his own deportation hearing, lawyers will make bank. That's okay because they came in illegally after getting a court hearing.

Dec 18,2024. Trump was president elect.

Today, CISA urged senior government and political officials to switch to end-to-end encrypted messaging apps like Signal following a wave of telecom breaches across dozens of countries, including eight carriers in the United States.

CISA and the FBI confirmed these breaches in late October after reports that the Salt Typhoon, a Chinese-backed threat group, had hacked multiple U.S. telcos, including T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies. Although the timing of the breaches is unclear, the attackers reportedly had access for "months or longer."

And y’all can say what you want about Goldberg, he waited until after the action to speak up. He was more responsible than any of the heads of security that we depend on for our safety. If he went for clout the moment he got the messages and the mission got compromised, the American troops lives that could’ve been risked/lost would squarely be on Hegseth’s hands.

Hegseth should be thanking him with a bottle of gin & a sack of kola nuts. Instead of blowing hot like a teenage hothead. I’m glad Goldberg brought it to the public. If he went to them privately, they would cover it up to avoid losing face. Who knows what would’ve quietly happened to him to make the story disappear. And none of us would be the wiser.

Gaslighting taken to the moon. He kept quiet hoping there would be a big fuq up. Hegseth is whom they are after, not Waltz.
You don't know what you are saying. When you see something wrong , point it out asap. Hey Waltz am I supposed to be in this Group? He didn't. For almost 2 weeks he was lurking silently hoping he is not discovered.
He confirmed by the time the first bomb exploded.
It's his word now , they can't reveal what they were conversing , If anyone lies and Goldberg publishes it, that official is gone.

You've written about 20 posts on this trying to gaslight.

1.) The guy Bemeruca (too dumb to think of that himself) got that conspiracy theory from, already debunked his own conspiracy theory about a purposeful effort to get a message to Europe.

2.) Because it is illegal on it's face to speak about classified info in an unclassified space. In any other White House the DOJ would have opened up an investigation already to figure out what sources and methods may have been compromised. One of the members was texting from Russia where he was having a meeting. Russia tries to hack everything and the assumption there is your device is compromised.

3.) Despite what Hegseth said, the White House has already confirmed this happened. It's not a he said she said story. It happened. Who you may think Goldberg is has no bearing on what he reported as it has been confirmed.

4.) Again, it doesn't matter who set up the chat or who accidentally added Hegseth, everybody in that chat knew what they were doing was wrong, most likely illegal and very reckless.
The people who were supposed to safeguard American secrets all were overly reckless with it.
In any other administration they would resign. They should resign,be investigated and be prosecuted.

Signal was setup and approved by Joe Biden. It was already installed on the devices .The participants acknowldged thay they needed to discuss some matters on secure systems, they knew very well it was an insecure medium.

What if horses could fly. Irrelevant.

Jerry Goldberg is a hack.
He wrote the piece about Trump refusing to nisit the graves of war heroes in Germany. Trump didn't attend because of the weather, they didn't want a traffic snafl up at short notice . Goldberg accused Trump of calling the soldiers losers or something like that. Totally fake story which in China would have sent him to the gallows.

In 2024 Goldberg said Trump got curious about paying $60k for a soldiers funeral
Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f***ing Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!”

Later Jerry Goldberg said " President Donald Trump never said that. This is an outrageous lie from The Atlantic two weeks before the election."

Wow.
I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.

You are believing a crazy

It’s very rich for a Trump supporter to hold people accountable to any moral standards. grin

A journalist does that and you should be grateful he is exposing incompetent politicians. That’s his job.

What if they were discussing how Obama spied on Trump. Or how Joe Biden was rudderless and clueless
You think he would have reported?

They should have ALL known better what to post and what not to post. No excuses, please.

True, so what happens. An investigation by democrats or Hegseth resigns.
Never mind that they are not bothered by the attacks , the reasons ..
