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.

Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels...
The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…
If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
The term Narco-terrorism has been in use for decades.
Trump's new EO is based on western hemisphere drug cartels converging with hostile governments & other terrorists. Including efforts to control Swamps in countries vital to us.

Trump also includes TdA & MS-13 within the scope of this order. If you're not aware, El Chapo reportedly hired MS-13 to assassinate Donald Trump before he ran for President the 1st time.
Likely in retaliation for Trump helping FBI identify El Chapo's money laundering networks.
Trump has not designated these cartels terrorist organizations, but is ordering the Secretary of State in consultation with Treasury, AG, DHS, & DNI to draw up the list with all cartels that meet the definition within 14 days.
So either he was batshit crazy or the person who fake this email wanted to make him look batshit crazy.
It is possible that they want to use this incident to trick people into thinking their batshit crazy ideas were shared by Livelsberger.
This press conference is discussing a completely different email. But it has been used to convince people, including myself that it was referring to the email in these threads.
