Senate Armed Services Committee Positioning to Leak FBI Report on Def Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth


Posted originally on the CTH on December 19, 2024 | Sundance

The Senate Armed Services Committee follows a tradition of the Chair and Vice-Chair reviewing the FBI report on Defense Secretary nominations, and then bringing the nomination to a full committee hearing and vote.

However, in an unprecedented move being discussed the Chairman Jack Reed, of Rhode Island, and the ranking member from Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, are debating releasing the FBI report on Pete Hegseth to the full committee, thereby positioning the FBI report to be leaked to media.

Keep in mind, this is an “FBI investigative report,” and we already know the history of how the FBI uses their investigative authorities to influence, change and manipulate political outcomes.  If we drop the pretending, the FBI is a weaponized agency of DC government with the expressed intent to protect the interests of DC.

The only reason to widely distribute the FBI background investigation of Hegseth is so that someone can leak it to media.

WASHINGTON DC – At least a dozen senators are pushing to see the FBI’s background check on Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s embattled pick for Pentagon chief — a rare move for the committee that oversees his confirmation and a sign the former Fox News host still faces hurdles in the Senate.

Unlike some other committees, the Senate Armed Services usually limits access to these types of background checks to its two lead senators. But pressure is building from both Democrats and Republicans to provide more lawmakers with the ongoing report, whose contents could determine whether Hegseth makes it to the Pentagon.

“It would be helpful, given the allegations that have been lodged against Mr. Hegseth, to be able to see the FBI background check,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a potential swing vote on Hegseth, said in an interview.

The push follows allegations of sexual assault against Hegseth, as well as alcohol abuse and mismanagement during his tenure at two veterans groups. He denies the allegations, and Trump’s allies have continued to drum up support for the TV personality. No Republicans have come out against him.

[…] The FBI’s background investigation is expected to thoroughly examine Hegseth’s personal and professional history, including interviews with associates, reviews of financial records, and queries into past legal issues. (read more)

The FBI does the investigation of Pete Hegseth.

The FBI!

Thom Tillis Threatens Trump Supporters to “Stand Down” on Pressure Because He Only Needs 4 Votes in Senate to Destroy Any Nomination


Posted originally on the CTH on December 16, 2024 | Sundance 

Senator Thom Tillis appears to have been granted a larger slice of the lobbyist money from Thune and McConnell because he certainly is taking up a position next to Joni Ernst in strategic opposition to President Donald Trump.

The level of passive aggressive threat-speak within Tillis’ very carefully selected wording is quite concerning.  “President Trump enjoyed a great deal of Republican support in his first term,” Tillis notes.  “But if people want to play the outside [pressure] game, they run a lot of risk,” he continues. “Four votes is all it’s going to take to kill a nomination here, so they should take pause,” Tillis reminds everyone.

Senator Tillis from North Carolina represents the aloof mindset of the Senate at large, and the detached mindset of the Republicans in the senate specifically.

The republicans in North Carolina in 2024 are highlighting just how similar they are to the republicans in Georgia, circa 2020.

Mitt Romney Reflects on a Career of Lightly Held Stances


Posted originally on the CTH on December 16, 2024 | Sundance

So many people have seemingly forgotten that Mitt Romney was the 20212 Republican presidential nominee.  He was crushed by Barack Obama despite record turnout by republican voters who held their nose, yet again, one last time and voted for the last of the GOP ‘next in line’ crew.

As he exits a career in politics, Mitt Romney reflects upon his professional legacy of ‘lightly held stances’ and expert level graciousness in losing; he’s had lots of practice.  As Mitt Romney concedes the Republican party to the MAGA movement, this is somewhat of a reflective moment.  WATCH:

Devin Nunes appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo today to discuss Kash Patel as the possible FBI Director and the new role for himself just outlined by President Trump. {Direct Rumble Link}

Devin Nunes will be chairman of the President’s Advisory Board on Intelligence, and he describes his role as recognizing, researching and filtering out the political intelligence products.  Exactly as we suspected. WATCH: 

I’ll work with President Trump to depoliticize America’s intelligence agencies

Nunes noted some declassification of prior evidence will be considered and reviewed.

♦ Intel Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, former counsel to DOJ-NSD Head Mary McCord during the construct of the Carter Page FISA application, testified to a closed session of the House impeachment committee about the CIA whistleblower, the connection to Alexander Vindman and the construct of why Atkinson changed the rules of the CIA to permit anonymous whistleblowers.

That transcript of Atkinson’s testimony was sealed and classified by Adam Schiff. At the time of his testimony, Mary McCord was working for the House impeachment committee.

Start by locating and releasing that transcript. START THERE! It’s a great first document to release.

Inspect General Outlines Extensive Use of FBI Confidential Human Sources on January 6, 2021


Posted originally on the CTH on December 12, 2024 | Sundance 

The Office of the Inspector General for the DOJ (DOJ-OIG) has outlined an 88-page report on events around the January 6th, 2021, DC protest. The report is AVAILABLE HERE.

FBI Director Chris Wray announced his decision to resign from office one day before the Inspector General report was released. The report shows that 26 FBI Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) were used officially and unofficially during the J6 events. Four entered the Capitol building, another 13 entered the restricted area around the building.

[OIG REPORT HERE]

The report found that no official FBI employees participated in the events, but 26 confidential human sources were used.  The media are jumping on the part about no FBI employees being present in order to call those who view the FBI as facilitating and coordinating the events of J6 as “conspiracy theorists.”  However, the FBI’s use of CHSs is downplayed and dismissed.

A major topline takeaway from the report in general is how much effort the FBI put into investigating the assembly pre J6.   When you read the IG explanation of the CHSs [Page 50 and beyond] you get a really good feel for how the FBI was focused and positioned before the day unfolded.

The FBI was communicating with various field offices about many of the attendees prior to January 6th, yet the IG report outlines a point of failure that the FBI did not debrief more sources before the events of the day.  There’s a weird disconnect between those two conflicting points.

We have previously outlined the true mission of the FBI and how it is structurally different from the public perception of their mission.  The FBI look out for the interests of the people in the business of DC politics.  The FBI are like congressional and administrative agency security officers for the government.  If a threat is not a threat to the DC system per se’, it is not considered a threat.

The identified threat to DC in the days post 2020 election was not a protest.  The perceived threat they worried about stemmed from a manipulated and stolen election.  The FBI resources were already deployed extensively in the period from November to January in an effort to mitigate the risks and exposures.  The media narrative around the 2020 election was as manipulative as the fence Pelosi put up to support it after J6.
