Biden Executive Order bans US govt agencies from using commercial spyware that poses a risk to national security.
Such as Pegasus software that was used against US govt personnel & likely many others.
Software companies that sell to bad guys can't sell to US #ButNothingsHappening
So if softwar companies want to sell spyware to the US IC & law enforcement, they can't sell it to anyone who uses it against the US or for repression against other citizens.
So I'm guessing that all the spyware companies that spied on Trump, reporters, & the FBI in 2016 are going to be prohibited from US govt contracts! whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
Interesting time with the Netanyahu protests in Israel that these categories apply to Bibi's friends at Isreali spyware company NSO Group. It might hit Rodney Joffe's company Neustar too...
Using spyware to disclose US govt information, like that spying on the Obama & Trump WHs.
Sounds like Spygate...
Like when Joffe working for Hillary's lawyer Sussmann was illegally accessing White House & other government & IP data & databases to search for derogatory information on Trump then leak a twisted version of it to the press.
Wonder if this means Durham has found evidence that US government agencies (DARPA, NSA, DIA) requested Joffe & his team to spy upon Trump...
It will now be a violation of this executive order...
And it likely wasn't before because it was 'commercial' spyware.
Within 90 days & every 6 months going forward, all agencies will have to report any intelligence or information about all foreign spyware companies using software in violation of these policies.
Any agency deciding that a contractor is in compliance or not but be documented & provided to the DNI for their compliance report. No buying the software & not telling anyone about it to keep it secret.
They have to give notice of the decision & their due dilligence at least 7 days before beginning to use the software.
Agency heads may issue a 1 year waiver if thre is no feasible alternative to the commercial spyware that poses a national security risk.
But the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (National Security Advisor) & DNI must be notified within 72 hours.
Agencies have 6 months to report any operational use of commercial spyware products & what they have done to implement this policy.
Then annually the agencies have to certify that any commercial spyware that they are using odes not pose a national security threat.

Exclusive: The case of the Michael Cohen condo just got a whole lot more interesting!
I found an online report on the resident. It isn't an embassy or a diplomat.
It appears to be a couple who are financial reporters for CNBC & Bloomberg?
It was well publicized that Michael Cohen's condo at 111 Murray Street is 19West or 19W.
A condo that he rented on 11/27/18 prior to pleading guilty in SDNY on 11/29/18.
The website identifies as a resident of 19W Sara A Eisen, 39 formerly of Cincinatti, OH.
It appears to be Sara A. Eisen the co-host of CNBC's Squakbox. One of her associates listed on the website is her husband Matthew Levine. usphonebook.com/address/111-mu…
The majority of Daszak's funds came from DOD, but the previous investigations focused on Daszak taking money from NIH that prohibited him from conducting GoF work.
Work he did in Wuhan anyway & concealed it from NIH.
Daszak claimed he 'accidentally' conducted GoF work in Wuhan in 2018-2019. But he concealed this from NIH until 2021 even though his grants required immediate reporting of 'accidental' GoF results.
US sanctions Russian Dmitrii Aleksandrovich Beloglazov, the owner of the financial firm Titul for colluding with Putin's Oligarch Oleg Deripaska to sell his shares in an Austrian construction firm!
Shares frozen by sanctions...

How a Russian oligarch took over the Republic of Georgia for Putin by pretending he was 'anti-Russian'.
This 'Georgian' politician paid Russian agent Chuck Dolan & Hillary Clinton foreign policy advisor while he was feeding false information about Trump into the Steele Dossier.
Here's a thread on Ivanishvila & his DNC operative foreign agent in the United States.
Was the Georgian Dream Party paying Dolan to hide that it was Russia paying him to frame Trump & the FBI for Hillary Clinton?
Of course, we still don't know why Tucker Carlson helped Chuck Dolan shift the blame from Hillary Clinton & their Russian friends for framing Trump & instead blamed the FBI who refused to investigate Trump the entire time... docketalarm.com/cases/Florida_…
If you haven't figured out why the Cuellar indictment is a big deal. This case has opened up money laundering & corruption of US politicians for 2 major locations. The drug cartels of Mexico & the oil deals of the Former Soviet Republics.
They bought every Swamp creature in DC!
Multiple former speakers of the House, the Podest Group & other lobbyists.
Likely the Azeris will now be motivated to give up the #receipts on the people bought by the Armenians too!
The offers that Rep Cuellar accepted & was indicted for, those offers were extended all of Washington DC by the same people who bought Cuellar.
FBI & DOJ are conducting a criminal investigation of Swampy consulting firm McKinsey & Company for its consulting of opioid manufacturers that created the epidemic in the US!
Also looking at Obstruction of Justice charges!
#ButNothingsHappening businessinsider.com/mckinsey-under…
If you are not aware, McKinsey helped Purdue Pharma & other opioid manufacturers boost sales of their drugs. Causing the Opioid Epidemic that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives in the US.
One of their former clients included details of subpoenas they recieved for information on McKinsey in their SEC filings 3 years ago. SO this investigations has been running in stealth mode for more than 3 years.
They stopped doing this consulting in 2019 as it became a risk.
