Fox News reports Trump will sign an executive order tomorrow suspending the security clearances for the 51 ex-intel officials who signed onto the bullshit Hunter Biden laptop letter in an effort to help Biden win. A totally justified & long overdue move.
foxnews.com/politics/trump… Former Acting CIA Director Mike Morell told ex-intel officials they should sign the Hunter Biden laptop letter so they could give Joe Biden a “talking point” to use in the Oct. 2020 debate vs. Trump— & that’s exactly how Joe Biden used it a few days later.

I wrote the book on the Afghan debacle & spent years pursuing answers & accountability. Hegseth made clear today that holding DoD & generals accountable for their 2021 failures is top priority as SecDef. It’s exactly what the troops, vets, & public deserve. Here’s what he said.🧵 Hegseth to Jim Banks: “It’s shameful. They still tout it as the most successful airlift in American history, when what the rest of us saw what was true laid before our eyes. Utter failure. A destruction of a military legacy there. Abandonment of our allies. Death of American troops. Detriment to our reputation. And then no answers and no accountability on the other side. And then what was unleashed because of what happened in Afghanistan? The October 7th attacks, an invasion into Ukraine. The world recognized weakness for what it was. And who bore the brunt of it? The troops on the frontlines at Abbey Gate doing an impossible job whose external security was the Taliban because there was no actual plan for this under the Biden Administration. And yet the only person held accountable in those moments was a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel who had the courage to stand up and say someone should be held accountable for that. His name is Stu Scheller. No one else involved has ever taken accountability for it. When that microcosm becomes the reality of the perception of the American military or America’s commitment to victory and success and positive outcomes, the world responds to that. President Trump is going to restore real deterrence by bringing a real warrior culture back, rebuilding our military, and ending wars properly — and if we have to fight them, winning them decisively.” 2/x

New letter from Elizabeth Warren to Pete Hegseth shows she is very upset that, as SecDef, Hegseth might actually work to depoliticize the DoD by ending radical DEI & woke policies and that he might actually hold the military brass accountable for its share of the Afghan debacle. Image
Image
Image
Image When Warren et al obfuscate about the woke/DEI nonsense, remember Milley claiming it’s offensive to say anyone at DOD is woke (while he ranted about “white rage”). And remember— when Milley was defending DEI, DoD was weeks away from defeat in Afghanistan…

Jake Sullivan reportedly secretly revealed at the White House in 2023 that “Chinese hackers had gained the ability to shut down dozens of U.S. ports, power grids, and other infrastructure targets at will.”

CCP-linked hackers were *already* burrowing their way into U.S. telecoms. Image “The two massive hacking operations have upended the West’s understanding of what Beijing wants, while revealing the astonishing skill level & stealth of its keyboard warriors.

It’s been clear **for years** the CCP’s cyber skills were excellent & cyber ambitions were sweeping… Image

🚨New revelations by WSJ on how Biden-Harris Admin covered up COVID-19’s origins, including spy leaders excluding the FBI (at the time allegedly the only U.S. intel agency that had assessed Covid likely came from a Wuhan lab) from the 2021 briefing of Biden. But that’s not all… Image
Image
Image
Image Scientists at DIA’s National Center for Medical Intel concluded COVID-19 had lab origin — but that was allegedly at odds with DIA’s assessment, so the center’s assessment wasn’t incorporated in the report shown to Biden, & the scientists were told to stop sharing those findings… Image

DOJ just let McKinsey avoid criminal charges for colluding with Purdue Pharma to unleash the opioid epidemic. McKinsey will now try to sneak into the Trump Admin
— but should a company that turbocharged an epidemic, lied about its work in China, & more be let in? Let’s explore.🧵 Image After Biden DOJ let them off the hook for opioid scandal, should Trump DOJ consider charges vs. McKinsey for working with CCP while advising the DOD & IC? McKinsey’s pattern of bad behavior during opioid crisis appears to be repeating with U.S. national security implications. 2/x Image

🚨Grassley to Wray: “I must express my vote of no confidence in your continued leadership of the FBI. President Trump has already announced his intention to nominate a candidate to replace you, & the Senate will carefully consider that choice. For my part, I’ve also seen enough.” Grassley to Wray: “I reminded you that an FBI Director’s ten-year term is a ceiling not a floor… Rather than turn over a new leaf at the FBI, you’ve continued to read from the old playbook of weaponization, double standards, & a relentless game of hide-&-seek with the Congress.” Image

I’m reading Hegseth’s book “The War on Warriors” & this section on the debacle in Afghanistan and the failures by Pentagon leadership & by generals is the clearest & most passionate articulation by any high-profile figure about the need for accountability at DOD. Read every word. Image

In 2018, as Nunes pushed to release his FISA Memo (authored partly by Kash Patel who’s reportedly being considered for FBI Director) which exposed big flaws in the FBI’s Trump-Russia inquiry, Mike Rogers (also reportedly being considered for FBI) went on NPR to fight its release. Image

Happy eight-year anniversary of Jake Sullivan assisting Hillary Clinton in pushing the bullshit Alfa Bank Trump-Russia collusion claims as a last-ditch effort to generate an October Surprise. Sullivan went on to be the Biden-Harris Admin’s disastrous national security adviser. Worth the read:

Amazing. Loretta Lynch — the Obama AG whom Bill Clinton tried to secretly meet with in the middle of a DOJ investigation into Hillary — is now working for China’s largest drone company.

Everyone can see Lynch’s court filing on behalf of CCP’s DJI here:

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… x.com/james_t_quinn/… DJI and Chinese drone dominance in the United States is a serious problem — one that some policymakers & lawmakers have unsuccessfully tried to solve for years. And now you have a former Obama attorney general throwing her support behind China in its fight against the Pentagon…

In his new book, discredited dossier author Chris Steele is still trying to push the baseless & debunked claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian scheme. Nowhere does he admit the laptop was real & that Russia had nothing to do with it. The man is a total fraud. Image
Image
Image
Image Interesting that, among the eight folks Steele praises for “excellent investigative work” & who he says he draws upon in his book, two were directly involved in the bullshit Hunter Biden laptop letter— Sipher as a signer & Bertrand as author of the Politico article publishing it. Image

Puck News says that, after Dokoupil unforgivably asked Coates a few tough questions, dozens of CBS employees “took issue with Dokoupil’s treatment of Coates, as well as what they perceived as his history of editorializing on the Israel-Palestine conflict.”
puck.news/the-tony-ta-ne… “The Race & Culture unit… determined that while Dokoupil’s questions & intentions were acceptable, his tone was not… The Standards & Practices division… determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process where questions are run through Race & Culture.” Image

The interview was fine. Frankly, they did not challenge Ta-Nehisi Coates nearly enough over his glaring omissions & ridiculous framing. But Coates is deemed untouchable, so even the lightest pushback pointing out his obvious biases & questionable motivations causes a meltdown. I knew the new book by Ta-Nehisi Coates was deeply flawed & biased against Israel (CBS had a meltdown because one of its anchors had the temerity to ask Coates about it) but I didn’t realize the book *doesn’t even mention* Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, etc. LOL

“Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer dubbed ‘Merchant of Death,’ walked out of a U.S. jail in a trade w/ Moscow for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner. Now he is back in business, trying to broker the sale of small arms to Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis.”

Image Jake Sullivan defended the release of Bout in 2022 by downplaying the threat he posed, saying “we can manage those challenges” & quipping “there is no shortage of arms traffickers & mercenaries in Russia.” Bout is now selling weapons to the same Houthis attacking American ships. Image

Walz is claiming he lied & inflated how many times he went to China: “His campaign now acknowledges that Walz’s past claims he’d been to China around 30 times were overstated, & the actual number of trips he’s taken from the US to China is ‘closer to 15’.”
mprnews.org/story/2024/09/… Looks like Walz lied about being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen protests: “Walz once described being in Hong Kong in May 1989, during the student uprising that culminated in the Tiananmen Square massacre — an assertion belied by news accounts at the time.”

DOJ releases a letter in case vs. attempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh: “Dear World, This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best... It’s up to you now to finish the job; & I’ll offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.” Image The letter, which DOJ does not explicitly say (but def implies) was written by Ryan Routh & which DOJ says was allegedly found in a box belonging to the attempted Trump assassin, also states “he [Trump] ended relations with Iran like a child & now the Middle East has unraveled.” Image

By my count, this letter includes at least nine bullshit Hunter Biden laptop letter signatories — John Brennan, James Clapper, Mike Hayden, John McLaughlin, Leon Panetta, Jeremy Bash, Larry Pfeiffer, John Sipher, and Greg Treverton. This letter endorsing Kamala is also signed by a who’s who of hacks & failures, such as Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Alexander Vindman, Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice, Colin Kahl, & Brian McKeon (who presided over many State Dept failures in Afghanistan in 2021).

With the House GOP report out, I’ll note I was the sole writer of the first draft (turned in in early June). Today’s report hacked away at what I wrote & skewed/whitewashed key elements. More to come on that. But let me talk about one part of McCaul’s press conference today. 1/x Big questions re: DOD & Afghanistan remain. McCaul approach to Milley-McKenzie (changing hearing title for them, previewing Qs to them, telling them they weren’t responsible) shows why — letting DOD off the hook isn’t best way to get answers from them! 2/x
