"I can’t get IG Report on Mike Ellis’ aborted hiring as NSA General Counsel out of my head"
probably good reason for that, @emptywheel

just like Joseph Cuffari, I suspect you'll be hearing Michael Ellis' name a lot in coming days
simultaneous to Yam Tits packing boxes to (criminally, it would seem) schlep down to MarALago, Michael Ellis was in a bit of a tiff with NSA
@emptywheel again emptywheel.net/2022/02/11/whi…
13 Jan 2021: "Ellis created or directed copying of NSA notebooks with compartmented, classified info without NSA knowledge, consent or control" 👀
@trcfwtt @TeresaCCarter2 @j2dumfounded @DavidManOnFire @WendyBugliari @kelly2277 @gal_suburban
separate incident: NSA docs Mike Ellis REFUSED TO RETURN were "out of positive control" for 6 days
for background Ellis was same traitorous mob-goblin who improperly hid tfg's call with Zelenskyy on that secret server
which we learned from patriot @AVindman
<pardon me while I stitch together threads>
Mike Ellis had soft-landing at Trunk Senchal, which could be just another Chinese-spying op disguised as "investment"
did any docs make their way to PRC?
I'm able to piece this sh*t together bc of @MingGao26 @arapaho415 @100FrogLegs & @j2dumfounded 🙏
here's @emptywheel in May who was correct yet again
"what" is way more important than why or how 👀
thanks to intrepid reporting via @DevlinBarrett & others we know signals intel (#SIGINT for short) was likely in boxes stolen by tfg's mob goons
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
China KSA Russia & others would be thrilled to acquire #SIGINT (and have unlimited mob funds to pay for it)
kinda textbook "aid and comfort" ain't it?
let's tie this section up—
⁉️ who took classified docs/made copies: Mike Ellis
⁉️ which agency demanded Ellis return them: NSA
⁉️ what highly sensitive stuff was found at MobALago: #SIGINT
⁉️ which agency focuses on #SIGINT? NSA
Mike Ellis ain't the only possible culprit; Devin Nunes flunky Kash Patel is also in-the-frame as
@IgnatiusPost wrote in April '21 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
tfg waged ALL OUT WAR on USIC and Kash Patel was his happy henchman
should we be assuming DOJ is in "pre-indictment stage" for tfg? check out @emptywheel's latest and know this: not just one person is responsible here
takes a village to subvert democracy.
