1. Another massive explosion in Crimea. Reports that it was at or near the airbase at #Dzankoi in the northern end of occupied Crimea. Quick look at Google Earth shows helicopters and possible ordinance storage though it doesn't look very safe.
2. Here is the overhead view showing #Dzankoi's location.
3. This shows the air base and also a large railyard that could also have been a target. Still waiting for more reports.
4. This shows that the base was used for Russian helicopters.
5. And again we see where ordinance was likely meant to be stored but without any hardened revetments that would prevent easy detonation.
6. Still learning how to use FIRMS but I think this shows the satellite is about to pass over Dzhankoi so hopefully we will see exactly what was hit.

1. My late brother had a STU-III crypto phone at home and would get after-hours calls from folks like the NSA General Counsel. Janet Reno had made him the person who they called when a National Security statute or Regulation required notification be made to the Attorney General.
2. When he was going through his background check he had to visit the office where the clearances were handled. There was some screwup with the FBI check that confused him with another John M. Hogan who had all kinds of issues in his background. When he went to the clearance
3. office the guy he spoke with turned out to be someone who lived three houses from us when we were little kids in Western Mass. He was too young for my brother to have likely remembered him but remembered his family. I knew him. He was a memory savant.

1. I see all the reports saying today is the 6th anniversary of the liberation of Manbij. I looked at my timeline and can't confirm that is so. I closely covered the battle and it ended when Daesh took hostages and travelled north into Jarabulus.
2. The SDF did not attack lest the hostages be harmed. Here is the Aug. 19, 2016 @BBC report on the #Daesh convoy:

1. Giuliani Is Told He Is a Target of Trump Election Investigation in Georgia nytimes.com/2022/08/15/us/…
2. ATLANTA — Lawyers for Rudolph W. Giuliani have been told that he is a target of a criminal investigation in Georgia into election interference by Donald J. Trump and his advisers, one of Mr. Giuliani’s lawyers said on Monday.
3. Mr. Giuliani, who spearheaded efforts to keep Mr. Trump in power as his personal lawyer, emerged in recent weeks as a central figure in the inquiry being conducted by Fani T. Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, Ga., which encompasses most of Atlanta.

1. The IC is capable of employing a lot of recourses to deal with a massive theft of TS/SCI material. I think it would likely include more surveillance than just the closed circuit feeds. I once witnessed a high level secret document being handled in the AG's office area
2. that required my family and I leave the room while two of the staff members put the document in a safe. I believe the people who do that work knew the documents were missing from the start and knew that #45 didn't return them. From that moment on, with #45's known
3. assistance from Russian intelligence services in the 2016 election, the IC would stand up a sufficient team to address the threat as soon as it was clear. That's why I feel confident that Garland has intercepts that Joe Biden can declassify so the world can listen to #45

1. The Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) controls how classified material is handled in court. The probable cause affidavit likely contains references to the CIPA material possibly including sources and methods. IMO that will never be disclosed publicly.
2. #45 will need to retain one of a very small subset of lawyers who have a clearance to deal with this material. Because he's so toxic, I seriously question one of these specially qualified lawyers will be willing to wade into the Mar-a-Lago cesspool with him.
3. Also, when certain people demand seeing the affidavit, ask yourself if they are simply trying to do damage control for the people who have received the material that #45 and his kids have likely been selling

FBI searched Trump’s home to look for nuclear documents and other items, sources say.

2. In 2017, I posted a long thread that made the case for Flynn and #45 being involved in providing Arab states with the ability to make nuclear weapons from Russian spent fuel to be used to run reactors they were all involved in selling. You can't even talk about doing that
3. without a license and because it can make bombs it is covered by FISA so you get lit up the minute you start chatting about it. SCI material doesn't have a lot of lose copies in other places beyond the intended storage
