There are also potential federal charges regardless of current outcome.

Burning bush biblical?

I’m sorry for your loss

My Minneapolis ward had 91.4% turnout of registered voters.

“national hero”? I wouldn’t lower the bar that low. His actions include lying to sworn federal agents, which is a 1001 violation, regarding his relationship with Russian SIOs, and misleading the VP about this. Not exactly a Boy Scout in this matter.

Did GA use electronic voting/software in 2020? I recall the SECSTATE commenting on several occasions that this was their first election in 20 years to utilize all paper ballots. Maybe previous issues with electronic solutions led them down that route?

You’re referring to the actions of the current Administration, correct? They appear pissed that D/CIA and D/FBI aren’t throwing political enemies into dank jail cells. This led to the selection of the least qualified and inept DNI to date. ODNI is an overseer, and not a doer, so little damage can be done by one individual. In the past, as you recall, the GOP were unapologetic supporters of the very same entities they now hate. Disturbing how the pendulum shifted so quickly, for both sides I suppose. You mean the last four years of the Trump Administration and it’s very own hand picked Director, under the leadership of his DOJ and Barr? Sorry, I don’t buy into the deep state paranoia.

That USG institutions are enemies of the state.

This event makes no sense. US military forces do not conduct raids, for criminal matters, in friendly foreign countries. I can’t think of an example of this ever happening. Then, how does a private citizen claim possession of this data? There are so many problems with this—especially chain of custody of whatever evidence they say there have. If it hasn’t been in the hands of LE from point of collection, then its tainted. And... the “CIA are not the good guys”? WTF!?

Strongly disagree. BTW... Hoover died in 1973.

Elite, strike-force team

A friend on mine was a staffer on the Transportation committee... he occasionally referred to him as Senator Strauss.

Biden appears to have compiled a strong and experienced national security team and advisors.

2020... crazy. My lead investment appears wise.

Sure... and what about that grassy knoll?

Gotta disagree... had a moment with him and staff in Balad back in 2008. Since then, he’s a POS to me. I guess I have issues getting over shite.

Agree. There is no evidence suggesting measurable nation-state interference during the 2020 election process. Thanks to the efforts of many. That said... we own this mess.

Maybe the MyPillow dude can step in and fix this sloppy mess... or at least provide the party snacks.

NSA and US Cyber Command reportedly took action against Iranian hackers to preempt any interference in the 2020 election https://www.businessinsider.com/us-iran-2020-election-interference-hack-report-2020-11 I believe and trust the General Nakasome.

I can’t find the exact article, but I read somewhere that the Director for NSA/Cyber Command mentioned strategic and tactical offensive operations targeting nation-state actors.

interesting analysis regarding the political/economic divide and Biden’s win in counties equaling 70 percent of the country’s economy. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2020/11/09/biden-voting-counties-equal-70-of-americas-economy-what-does-this-mean-for-the-nations-political-economic-divide/

That’s some funny !@#$ right there. Let me clue you in, no one in the business refers to their profession as ‘spying’. Curious, though, what branch/AFSC qualified you as a ‘spy’ in the USAF? What unit(s) were you assigned to that performed ‘spying’ activities? What INT were you associated with? Please explain how you gather evidence on a threat without conducting actual collection. What do you think the FBI and other LE orgs do on a daily basis? Do you know anything about the intelligence cycle, or what it even is? I’m not sure which is sadder, your comment or the 5 followers who approved. Effing crazy.

Spying? You mean utilizing authorized investigative techniques in the course of a pending preliminary of full investigation? That spying?

Murals seem to keep the taggers away... one of my wife’s commercial buildings used to get tagged a couple of times a year until we painted our own mural— a take off of the Black Flag album, Slip it In. That was 14 or so years ago and no taggers since.
