“One of the participants in the operation against Mr. McMaster, Barbara Ledeen, said she was brought on by someone ‘with access to McMaster’s calendar.’”
Does she still work for @ChuckGrassley/Senate Judiciary comm GOP?
“When confronted with details about her involvement in the McMaster operation, Ledeen insisted that she was merely a messenger...she passed the message to a man she believed to be a Project Veritas operative.” The plan was to try to honeytrap the then US national security advisor
piece further down reports that Ledeen retired from the Senate this year.
Would the FBI ever investigate something like this? a bunch of US operatives trying to entrap the US national security advisor with a woman they were paying for that purpose?
“One woman living at the house, Anna Khait, was part of several operations against various targets, including a State Dept employee.” nytimes.com/2021/05/13/us/…

Re NYT Barbara Ledeen/Project Veritas orchestrating op v McMaster, this shows Barbara Ledeen writing Flynn’s then attorney Robert Kelner in Dec. 2018 passing message from Derek Harvey. Flynn’s attorney reported the message to DOJ & said not responding

from Khait’s Twitter. looks like Patrick Byrne in her group on sunday
The reported Ledeen-involved operation to entrap & remove the US national security advisor McMaster occurred just a few months before Giuliani involved operation to remove the US ambassador to Ukraine, reportedly under current investigation, & which led to Trump’s 1st impeachment
And which is reportedly being investigated to see if it was secretly conducted on behalf of unidentified paid foreign interests
Looks like Khait deleted the tweet of her and Patrick Byrne among a group together on Sunday. Here are screenshots of the tweet and the photo. Remembered this morning that Byrne reportedly also had a relationship with Russian agent Butina and reportedly reported on it to FBI.

👀🧵 “Rubio was scheduled to attend peace talks with Ukrainian officials in Switzerland, but Witkoff had set off early in what some officials saw as a bid to beat him to the punch…, Witkoff did not communicate his travel plans to Rubio & other State Dep. officials, the 3 sources said, in what they perceived as a move to allow Witkoff to negotiate with Ukraine in a way he saw fit.

nbcnews.com/politics/white…
“It was not the first time U.S. officials had seen Witkoff’s actions as an attempt to make an end-run around Rubio. …latest example of a long-running rift between the two senior figures…with sharply different views about how to end the war in Ukraine and how much the U.S. should trust Russia’s promises.”
“Late last month, days after the Geneva talks, Witkoff arranged a meeting with Ukrainian officials in Florida. Rubio became aware of the planned session only when the Ukrainians asked his team about it, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the incident.”

🧵Iran Dep FM Ravanchi to NBC: “As long as there is no act of aggression being perpetrated by the United States against us, we will not respond again,” Takht-Ravanchi said when asked if more was to come.
“We are for diplomacy” & “we are for dialogue,” Ravanchi. But the US gov’t needs “to convince us that they are not going to use military force while we are negotiating. That is an essential element for our leadership to be in a position to decide about the future round of talks.”
“Our policy has not changed on enrichment,” Ravanchi said. “Iran has every right to do enrichment within its territory. The only thing that we have to observe is not to go for militarization.”

🧵Reporter: Mr. President, what's your reaction to the intelligence reports saying that the Iranian nuclear sites were only partially devastated, not entirely?

Trump: Well, …the report said it could have been very, they don't know.
Trump: I mean, if they did a report, I could have Pete [Hegseth] talk to it, because his department did the report. They really don't know.

I think Israel is going to be telling us very soon, because Bibi is going to have people involved in that whole situation.
Trump: We hear it was obliteration. It was a virtual obliteration.

When you take a look at the ground above, don't forget, the flame is all underground.
