@GovInslee

Hearing reports and off-the-record discussions that Lamay, the WA trooper who refused to get vaxxed and told @GovInslee to “kiss his ass” and then contracted COVID, has taken a turn for the worse. Have reached out for official comment from several sources.

@wastatepatrol

A @wastatepatrol spokesperson tells me they have no further information beyond saying “at this point, the only thing we can and should say is that we hold him and his family in our thoughts and prayers during such a sad and difficult time.”

@Sessler

Reached out to @Sessler, who is running for Congress and was recently endorsed by Mike Flynn, for comment. Lamay campaigned with Sessler after leaving the troopers.

@MollyMcKew

In 2017 @MollyMcKew testified in a Senate hearing on Russian disinfo. Her bio claim she worked for the Moldovan govt. I asked Moldova to confirm McKew’s claim, and they could find no record she’d worked or advised the Moldovan PM or govt.

She testified that she would share her “experiences countering Russian information warfare”, yet she never does. Instead giving opinion without, explaining why her opinion is a qualified one and just rehashing publicly reported things.

there is another problem, McKew has never held a clearance, meaning she’s never had access or worked on classified info - making her claim of exp w Russian disinfo dubious. Another red flag is her lack of academic experience in the discipline - even as she continue to teach.

In 2008, at Wayne NJ Hooters, my GRU case officer gave me this hand written diagram of, what Russia believed, were US classification codes. My current access is noted, and the Russians were keen for me to have higher access as I became an intel officer. Quick thread #Ukraine

The Russians were interested in MILITARY intelligence/information. There is only ONE main reason you collect MILITARY intelligence, it’s to understand an adversaries capabilities to gain an advantage in CONFLICT. The RUSSIANS were looking to be prepared for CONFLICT with the US.

This isn’t some conjecture or speculation, rather, I was there. I saw it I lived it. The GRU promised me a retirement account and I became a made man. They did this bc somebody who had access to military secrets was a HUGE asset to them.

I hesitate writing this, bc it really goes nowhere. There is racism in national security. Tucker is an easy one to identify. But, folks, I am the only one out there who actually successfully worked against the Russian military. You’d think my phone would be blowing up. It’s not.

I’ve been warning about Russia since the day I got on tv. That isn’t based from academic work or studying them, it’s based on sitting face-to-face with them. You’d think that would add some gravitas to my opinion.

This isn’t some “feel sorry for me” tweet. But there is a real problem in the natsec circles here. I’ve watched people lie about credentials and get pushed forward. If you take people from the same circles, you’ll never learn anything new.

For 3 years I worked undercover face-to-face against the second most senior GRU intelligence officer in the US. Here is what I learned about Russia and the GRU. A thread.

First for Russia the Cold War never ended. The minute any Russia intelligence officer (IO) got off that plane in JFK, they acted as if they were in enemy territory.

My time with the Russians actually started in the late 1980’s when the KGB began doing business with my dad. Since the first meeting my family fed everything to the FBI. The KGB was replaced by the GRU. So what’s the difference between the KGB and the GRU? Not much.

Sadly, I’m realizing that after 1/6 and a President who tried everything to undermind our democracy, most Americans can’t fathom that Russia, an external threat, is just as dangerous (if not more) to our way of life. You don’t defeat Russia in court or with sanctions.

We treat Putin as if we can shame or reason him into negotiation. It’s an absurd idea. Putin has every reason to seize an opportunity of a week and fragmented west. The US is fighting domestically, and NATO and our allies are unwilling to confront Putin.

I’ve dealt with the Soviet KGB and then the Russian GRU, they have waited a long time to make a move like this. You’re not going to role back their intent to knock us out of Eastern Europe w a bilateral talk. They also won’t stop w just Ukraine. They want NATO & the us out.
