I have made my opinion clear about these new Josh Hawley “whistleblower” reports. “If bad actors within the IC wanted to control information, perhaps an operative wearing the mask of a “whistleblower” would be a good vector to control the narrative” {GO DEEP}
That said, Senator Josh Hawley, the guy who appears to be selected to receive the majority of these whistleblower conversations – not Chuck Grassley who has a much better filtration staff (insert suspicious cat here), claims his whistleblower has more information about routine USSS standards and protocols for the Trump National golf course that seem to have been intentionally removed in advance of the second assassination attempt. WATCH:
EXCLUSIVE: New whistleblowers say @SecretService knew the vulnerabilities on the golf course where @realDonaldTrump was playing when he was almost killed. They usually have agents stationed there, but that day NO ONE was there. Whistleblowers tell @HawleyMO that protocol was not… pic.twitter.com/2wgokJej2Q

Again, I have no reason to doubt that a “whistleblower” communicated with Senator Josh Hawley; but given all of the stakes and players and considering that I cannot think of a single facet to any accountability that has ever come as a result of “whistleblowing,” sometimes I just wonder who vetts them.
I know the team behind Senator Chuck Grassley, those guys are really good about ferreting out ulterior motives. However, these “whistleblower” leaks to Josh Hawley, eh, something just doesn’t feel right. Trust your instincts.
We rightly understand that TDS is essentially ad hominem attacks on President Trump. Rejecting the message because of the messenger is short sighted. Trusting the message because of the messenger, unless God is speaking, is also short sighted. It is hard to restrict a debate to just ideas when people are involved. Why would a whistleblower go to Josh Hawley? Because he amplifies their complaint. So what is the whistleblower’s motive, and how truthful is his statement? And why is the fbi and usss exercising their right to remain silent? Criminal sources and methods should not be classified, and an independent chief executive can do more to solve the problem than congress.
Grassley doesn’t even have the unredacted Butler PD/County information. I have seen the unredacted files due to a citizen journalist who filed an information request and received the files. It provides a very interesting finding as to what person was where and did what.
So the information is out there. I have not trusted Grassley or Johnson since 2017 and the screwing of Andre Telechenko by them and Mnuchin and Pompeo by the time 2020 rolled in.
My view of Hawley and his whistle-blower stuff may or may not be believable, ulterior motive, what ever the information maybe called. I am in a wait and see holding pattern. I don’t consider any of these people accountable to we the people.
Interesting essay though and some very insightful comments by everyone here.
Josh Hawley
Jesuit private prep school
Stanford
Yale Law
Clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts
This assists me in beginning an assessment of credibility.
Thanks for the bio.
Hawley is not of value.
Eegads! Thanks for that info.
“Clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts”.
I didn’t know that. Hawley is one of the good guys in my opinion. This is our government we are posting about. A government full of scoundrels. Suspicion it shall be for Hawley.
Mr. Hawley has a Trey Goudy vibe about him.
Me no trusty.
Moi non, plus.
Could they have found anyone who looks more like Jimmy Stewart in Mr Smith goes to Washington?
Central casting, indeed!
The intent may be simply to telegraph that he is mostly unprotected, to encourage more attempts, or even a mass attack. They couldn’t care less what happens to the attackers.
I would think that there are numerous Patriots with the means to ‘be’ where PJDT appears for various events, to wander around keeping ‘eyes open’ to anything suspicious, and intervene in some manner. An “extra layer of protection” that actually works. The SS does not seem to be ‘working’.
Vets would be nice, but many persons are ‘prepared’; such as those who are good hunters, sportsmen, etc. who have training in ‘awareness’ of their surroundings.
I’m seeing a rooster tail forming on his head. That can’t be good.
It’s all rooster evidentiary!
No Secret Service Agent is going to throw away a $200,000 a year glamor job with travel and benefits to be a legitimate whistleblower!
SD is right! This is a deliberate distraction from the truth revealing only what the IC wants to reveal!
Interesting that the FBI seems to pay more attention to whistleblowers (ex. Steve Baker, Special Agent Garret O’Boyle), but miss would-be assassins with multiple red flags and having FBI radar designations.
I’m beginning to think it wouldn’t be the worst thing to send a couple “messages”, one to the deep state and one to the media about the unacceptability of the current rhetoric promoting violence against Trump. Most of the public don’t really know the names of those Lawfare masterminds, but the people who need to receive the message would understand what they need to if one of those masterminds ceased function. Same could be said for any one of dozens of those alphabet network second stringers trying to build or advance a career based mainly on loud Trump hate.
History has shown that making examples works. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
Sen Grassley isn’t going to be around much longer -is Hawley the chosen one to replace him??
Alas, we are left with what most (if not all) of us started with: A virtual inability to trust anyone in government or media. IMHO, we are in this pickle due to our shared history of failing to check corruption early, and allowing the corrupt to achieve the status of being untouchable. Our “Guardian of the Republic” Republican establishment is largely to blame, as they have let the left destroy our processes.
Since Reagan and bookending Trump, we have had a succession of bad Democrat and soft Republican Executives (And the Executive Branch departments that embody “The Deep State”), ever weaker legislators, and Chief Justice John Roberts who feels comfortable legislating.
It should not be a surprise that no solid channel for whistleblowers has ever been established, or that no comeuppance (harsh or otherwise) ever seems to result from Congressional Oversight.
