It doesn’t quite apex the previous selection of Nikki Haley in 2016 to deliver the State of the Union rebuttal targeting then candidate Donald Trump, however it does come close.

The seven ways from Sunday group have this year selected Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin to deliver the State of the Union rebuttal to President Donald Trump.   Slotkin is a CIA operative shifted into congress.

You might remember Slotkin was one of the Senators who attended the Munich security conference to praise Volodymyr Zelenskyy as part of the CODEL.

In the CIA’s need to oppose President Trump, they are getting a little sloppy with the transparency of their agenda.

In semi-related news…. Dan Bongino will soon discover for himself, the FBI runs two basic operations as part of their modern mission. Proactive, and Reactive operations.

Operation #1 is best defined as the “proactive mission.” Essentially the autonomic operational objective of the silo as it is administered. This is the resting compass heading of the organization; it’s functional position in statis.

The ‘proactive mission’ is to defend the interests of the DC system of government. The FBI monitors threats to government interests and takes action based on threats to the framework of DC governance.

Operation #2 is best considered the “reactive mission,” where the FBI is forced into investigative footing as an outcome of something that happens.

The ‘reactive mission’ runs first and foremost through the prism of the ‘proactive’ responsibility. The reactive investigative footing is the full deployment of resources to identify if the event presents the possibility of risk to the DC system.

Example of #2, a terror event is a “reactive” focus. The FBI is reacting to something, investigating some event that has already occurred. Often the reactive investigation runs across the proactive activity, and we discover a “known wolfe” who was not a proactive priority, because the threat was not to DC or Govt., specifically. Another example the NASCAR noose nonsense.

Example of #1, the Hunter Biden laptop, Ashley Biden diary, Awan Brothers, Clinton email server etc., these are all considered ‘threats’ to the DC/Govt system, and therefore they gain the full attention of the “Proactive Mission.”

Understanding the FBI is a matter of understanding the priority of the organization is defending the interests of DC/Govt as the primary objective, the Proactive Operation, the standard setting.

The Reactive Operation is considerably less important and encompasses the after-action Homeland Security mission.

The FBI is a sub-silo of the much more significant Parent silo, the CIA.

It is the CIA who controls the operational mission focus of the FBI.
