FBI Director Kash Patel, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are among the witnesses who testify today before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).
The SSCI is the center of the organization silo in Washington DC that permits the Intelligence Community to operate as a fourth branch of government. The hearing today on global and domestic threats was previously scheduled and ‘coincidentally’ now falls on the heels of revelations surrounding a group text chat about Trump administration operations in Yemen.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:00am ET, with livestream links below. The professional political left will be questioning the three cabinet members and will now focus on the national security threat created by Nat Sec Advisor Mike Waltz. WATCH BELOW:

Warner is being his usual snitty self. Spit.
He has thick makeup on his bourbon soaked nose🤮
Wow, you’re absolutely right! Good catch. Wonder why he’s trying to cover it up now, all of a sudden?
And that lip licking, he must be thirsty too….
That doesn’t fix the fact his dentures slip so bad that it’s hard to listen to the gasbag speak 🤣
PJ, Emil and Jeanine–
There is something so satisfying about reading the denigration chorus against a slithering snake! 🐍
Bless your hearts!💕
Now I need only smile and nod! 😁
God gave us ears to hear, and eyes to see. And that man is equally awful to look at, as he is to listen to! 😉
Reruns, remakes, and reboots.
“It would be at best irresponsible, and at worst potentially illegal, for members of Congress to use their positions to learn the identity of an FBI source for the purpose of undermining the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in our election.”
–Mark Warner, May 18, 2018
Crossfire Hurricane 4: In Crowdstrike We Trust
Within 48 hours Deep State will allow this attack vector to go away: You Senators want an investigation into classified information discussed on Signal app? You can’t handle an investigation into who/what discussions are on government Signal App by prior Administrations!!
“scheduled and ‘coincidentally’ now falls on the heels of revelations”
I have come to learn, are no coincidences in politics.
If he calls HRC “crooked Hillary,” he should call Hussein “Bent Barack.”
Is animated, indicating lying. He probably invited Goldberg into the chat.
I don’t think Warner was in it, was he?
Not that he isn’t a demon. I muted his nonsense automatically.
This bs crisis is as bad as noticing a valve stem cap is missing on a car tire.
Mission Accomplished. Pence II . et tu brute
Nah.
I started watching but couldn’t stomach the BS around the Signal leak…I honestly don’t care that DJT came out in support of Waltz…whatever happened it is an unforced error and now the D’s have a SOLID talking point…they are clearly pushing that TONS of classified information was leaked (Warner just said weaponry, an undercover CIA agent, etc)…I think we all know it didn’t happen but the Administration now looks like a clown show…really bad and distracting..
By design, it seems.
Yes and the administrations response is lackluster to say the least…here we go again, DJT 1.0…different players, same game…I honestly wish they had learned more from the first administration…the response is more important than the leak….
Side note…it was reported that Patel was cutting ATF positions…at around the same time it was reported that there were ‘incendiary devices’ at a Tesla dealer in Austin, TX. Patel has come out denying those cuts. I read it at either BB or TGP, cannot recall…
Too much of a similar coincidink.
I read that he was cutting and moving those people to the FBI. I can’t remember where I saw it
Maybe Gateway Pundit? Edit: I found that CNN was the one reporting that and Patel denied it. Who knows what is real anymore.
Just cut, Kash.
This administration does not look like a clown show. Unforced error, yes but clown show no.
NO SALE.
Next.
It was a planned hit at least it is looking like that. Who put the reporter on the email list?
The press will beat this into the ground with lies, unfounded and false facts. Somebody needs to take the consequences for this error and letting the enemy into a spot where they could make it a gigantic mess for the Trump administration.
If Waltz was the guy who allowed this or it was one of his people, he needs to resign immediately. No excuses and consequences are called for big time. This is a political hit job executed from within and it was successful. Get it taken care of. Convenient timing too as SD noted.
Another scenario:
Unknown Waltz Staffer scheduled the chat; intended participant was someone with the JG initials, but it auto-populated Jonah Goldberg, which would indicate either Unknown Waltz Staffer or Waltz himself, regularly communicates with “JG”, of The Atlantic. If true, it would seem both need to resign, or fired.
I believe you mean Jeffrey Goldberg.
Heh, the outcome would be the same since Jonah Goldberg is a never-Trumper anyway…
They want Pete gone, just like in the first Administration when they targeted certain
admin member they wanted out they ran wiht some scandal. Hopefully POTUS
doesn’t fall for that this time.. but I must sasy this was a really dumb move so dumb
in fact that it is hard to beleive it was accidental.. I could almost give Pete a pass because
he is new to this whole thing but Walz and JD should have known better as both were
in congress and should have understood this whole situation.. But lets hope POTUS doesn;t fall for getting rid of Pete over this..
Waltz’s wife? Clearly a planned hit on Trump.
Funny this hearing is very public, meaning INSTRUCTIVE, think about that and listen to the gaslighting rhetoric from the cotton-mouth Senator from Virginia, and appreciate the irony, the more you think about it, the funnier it gets
Almost as good as Schumer’s recent bragging about his pet orc-army-domestic-terror-subverts wreaking havoc and undermining the MAGA agenda
Nothing beats responding with data in real time.
Thanks for everything that you do.
Why can’t Ratcliff throw that in his face in this open hearing.
There are so many truths that can be said, so much light that can be shined, that it makes one wonder if everything is just one set of bad guys (actors) making accusations to another set of bad guys (also actors).
It appears to me that we will be living under tyranny for a long, long time.
spooked . . . ha ha . . . no pun intended
for sure
This all sounds like a setup. Who believes that our “Deep State” can’t access and corrupt a “Secure” app…
Let’s not forget Warner is ‘Deep State’. Remember Trump surveillances.
Warner bloviating right now. Everything he says is a carefully scripted lie.
Battered conservatives, Toughen up. NO MORE TWO STEP.
Move forward.
“Secure” apps are only as secure as those using them.
I hope someone replies to Joel on X that the app was approved by the Biden Regime.
Two China funded Code Pink protesters get kicked out of the hearing.
Both Tulsi and Ratcliff have answered Mark Warner that no classified info was revealed on the chat.
And here we are an Hour and a Half later and they’re still asking the same damn questions.
Deleted
Sen. Wyden, I agree that the destruction of federal records should be investigated immediately, starting with the former House J6 Committee.
Agree 100% with the questions raised!
WHO specifically invited Goldberg to the chat (he says the invite came from “Mike Waltz”)? Were the others on the chat made aware that a reporter had been invited to be part of their conversation? Was his name/photo/info correctly listed or was he using a pseudonym?
I don’t see anything remotely close to “war plans” in the texts.
In fact, the discussion is no different than what you would hear in a Sunday morning Face the Nation interview of Rubio, Walz or Steve Witkoff!
Why anyone would invite Goldberg into any internal discussion involving top administration officials is another issue altogether? Was it on purpose.
No, there isn’t anything that looks remotely close to “classified” but it was still a faux pas to invite a known Left leaning reporter into what most of the participants assumed would have been a private chat among people all on the same page. So, again, was this a “set-up” to find a leaker, an intentional move by a mole, or just a boneheaded move by a staffer?
The leak was likely intentional to intimate to the UK and the EU that they are considered ungrateful free-loaders of US Military protection of their commercial shipping lanes.
It is part of the reciprocity negotiations and showcases the real incentive to pull out of NATO unless these degenerate royals and their European vassal states pay their share for US Military protection.
USA will not pay tribute to a Monarchy.
In fact, We will take down a Monarchy if necessary to our National Security.
Watch the Crown Dominion of Canada.
Additional question now about King:
He said he learned from “open-source reporting” that there was some sort of battle plan document.
What in the world is “open-source reporting” when it’s at home?
Did he open his bathroom door and sniff the air or something?
Important questions in that X post.
5) How was Goldberg’s information stored in that device?
6) Did Goldberg’s number have a different name associated with it in that device, and if so, what was that name, and in which apps was that name used?
7) Did that name belong to anyone else in the chat, or anyone working for someone in the chat?
8) How did Goldberg’s name appear in the chat (initials, different name, accurate name, etc.)?
9) When did Waltz and/or the person who added Goldberg to the chat (if it wasn’t Waltz) last communicate with Goldberg and on what topics?
This is the type of crap that is going to have to be ignored in this second admin. Go on with your work. It’s an obvious setup to stir up a media sensation like the Vindman/Ciaramella nonsense.
They want Pete gone.. They did this in his first administration they targeted certain
ones wiht scandal to get rid of them..That what this is they want Pete gone..Now I can
almost give Pete a pass as he is new to all this. but Waltz and JD should have known better
and the was such a dumb mistake it is hard to beleive it was just a dumb MISTAKE..
General Flynn comes to mind.
I imagine the timing of the “leak” was coordinated with this very hearing. It was not accidental.
As Sundance always reminds us: Once you see the strings, you can’t unsee them.
Anyone remember Gen Flynn?
Same playbook. Attempt to destroy PDJT’s choice of nat security advisor.
Boy are these cretins repetitious!
Someone I know well who was in military intelligence for years tells me that the information that got out was quite generic or common sense and not worthy of all this commotion. That said, although this administration is trying hard to be transparent and open, having your obvious enemy on speed dial may not be terribly smart.
Perhaps it was his sister-in-law who added the number.
The Surgeon General position has been on my radar for weeks as a terrible lefty one.
Today I learn from sundance – once again – it’s always the wives!
And the wives always have a different last name so that 99% of the people won’t make the connection.
Trump not planning to fire Waltz after national security text chain leak
Excerpt:
Waltz is also telling colleagues that he has never met or talked to the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, Fox News has learned…..
…..A senior White House official earlier revealed to Fox News how Goldberg may have been added to the Signal text chain with Cabinet members.
The official said that he had never met and had never spoken to Goldberg. Somehow, Goldberg’s number was added to one of the members of the list, the senior official said, noting that Signal is allowed in multiple agencies.
It appears that Goldberg’s number was added to a contact card by one of the Trump administration staffers, Fox News has learned. The chat had Cabinet officials plus some of those officials’ staffers.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/how-reporter-may-have-been-added-signal-text-chain-national-security-leak-according-wh-official
Polygraphs and rubber truncheons all around. Only half kidding….you pick.
Wouldn’t and shouldn’t Susie Wiles, the Chief of Staff, be the person to know how and by what Trump administration staffer that Goldberg’s number was added to a contact card?
It appears that Goldberg’s number was added to a contact card by one of the Trump administration staffers, Fox News has learned. The chat had Cabinet officials plus some of those officials’ staffers.
💯❗Exactly what I say. Understand she’s the “ice queen” and all, surely as COS she’s feared by all not to get on her bad side, but as gatekeeping is her job, clearly she should at least be rebuked for this kind of mistake.
Same playbook.
So much for their precious “sources and methods” 😂
Goldberg is claiming to be very self righteous about not revealing some of the info he got but after his “suckers and losers” lies about Trump, why would he protect a military op? The democrats are challenging team trump to release all the texts but Goldberg just has to say it is true without providing any evidence.
Telling.
Just like they went after Kennedy when he stood up to the CIA and didn’t want Israel to have nuclear weapons nor to be funding Americans politics.
Who is the CIA special ops group?
The rest of the text for those that cannot see it.
*****
3) The SSCI uses the hearing to attack the Trump officials at the top of the critical silos.
Why?
The CIA black ops group doesn’t like the Trump Ukraine and Trump Russia policy.
Watch. You’ll see.

This reminds me of the Stormy Daniel’s hype story with all the democrats playing the Jeffery Toobin handball while the hearings are going on.
So, maybe the Goldberg thing is coming into better focus now:
1.) This hearing would have been scheduled some time ago;
2.) Goldberg sat on the info for a period of time;
3.) Giving the Vice Chair and his fellow Dems ample time to prepare themselves for the attacks we now see unfolding, specifically the call that Tulsi and Hegseth resign;
4.) And allow for the Code Pink freaks to travel and show up for the hearing – which, btw, has a fully packed audience;
5.) Fox banner running with the wording “Leak Fallout”.
Fox is pitching but we are not catching.
The two people they didn;t want voted int they want gone.
obvious… Lets hope POTUS doesn;t fall for this nonsense
like he did in his first Adminstration where certain people
were targets and resigne or were fired..
There will be plenty of good sound bites coming out this, that will be replayed over and over again on the fake news networks.
I guess it depends on the meaning of “good.”
Who cares. I honestly don’t know anyone who watches the propaganda channels anymore.
Until the next big ‘crisis’.
Which no one but their fellow travelers will watch. Meanwhile, all gas and no brake aboard the Trump train.
and there goes Gabbard on the 702 … they are continuing to spy on the American people
And did you hear Kash Patel also speak about 702?
The man most familiar with it’s abuses supports it.
Hmm.
“The professional political left will be questioning the three cabinet members and will now focus on the national security threat created by Nat Sec Advisor Mike Waltz.”
I am sure the gang of eight are going to enjoy themselves.
I did not know this was scheduled for today. Perhaps that was a deliberate “mistake” to set up these “duplicity masters” to expose themselves – just like the activist partisan judiciary.
Romans 8:28 KJV
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

🚨 WHOA!!! Turns out BIDEN authorized Signal to be used for government communication, Senator Tom Cotton says https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1904516818938589611/video/1
“The Biden Administration authorized Signal as a means of communication that was consistent with presidential recordkeeping requirements for its administration — and that continued into the Trump Administration.”
Video linked…
Cotton oozes reprobate
Holy Otto Pen Batman!
what a bunch of arse holes they are ……..King is despiscable
This angle is actually worse to MAGA…now I see more clearly why this maga-come-lately would take EZ cash💲money to simp for anti-MAHA corporations.
From my perch, I’m loving this high-profile SES freak-out, ezpecially the “Injunction-USA” LawFare tutorial that is rapidly becoming THE “Rosetta Stone” intructive of the Deep State playbook…Trump apparently has an ENDLESS supply of rope, ya’ll
Senator Warner, have a sip of water, the cotton-mouth is distracting
Bring it!
NAILED IT. Their plan of attack is the USE of the Signal app.
Well then, they failed bigtime.
Signal will undoubtedly be gone by EO in no time.
At least we learned this early!
Oversight?
Just tell them “NOPE, NOT ALLOWED!”
It worked for the former acting deputy attorney general under Obama.
It is unknown if the CIA operatives could compromise Signal. BUT we absolutely KNOW the CIA can compromise a phone in EVERY way including grabbing screenshots of a signal app being used.
Giving it to a news media operative and telling them to write it up as “I was invited” creates a full denial of rogue CIA involvement.
The commies will try to make this a huge deal for impeachment purposes. Of course they want Waltz’s scalp. The American people are wise these days.
The hostility displayed by the leftist-elected in this public charade
is precedent setting.
The same standards for responsibility and accountability must be applied to Congress;
-each and every member.
Trump admin needs to nail this situation HARD.
Warner is a pompous useless deep state windbag.
Warner is insufferable. That is all
Strange how stuff just comes out of thin air.
Just like these democrats are really serious and smart at these hearings according to the media.
Mark Warner is acting like at least two nuclear missals in heading towards the United States because of this ordeal
Slimy Warner is on Fox, Newsmax, and C-span. Turned it off. Life is too short.
So if Russia gets to keep the Donbass and of course Crimea, according to the Deep State, the EU, NATO, Europe and all mainstream media, they will not have gotten all they want since they weren’t given all of Ukraine (as the West’s claim goes) nor all of Europe (as has been claimed). Remember that when Democrats, Rino’s, et al, claim that Trump gave everything to Russia.
President Trump should pull Warner’s security clearance.
At this point, President Trump and Melania are the only ones who need security clearance. I’m sick of Congress. All
of them.
“Strong argument”
-What does “argument” mean?
Seems that nothing specific was discussed
No doubt
Request for signal connection came on March 11 according to Goldberg…
Yet he sat on his ‘story’ for 2 weeks until March 24, the day before scheduled committee meeting.
So, Jonah Goldberg is a cia asset who is part of the political hit, which is created by the cia, in order to take down the Trump appointees and wreck the peace deal between the us and Russia in the proxy war in Ukraine.
They sure work hard for the British royalty and Bush clan, among other slimy pedo’s.
I wish these groups would work this hard for this country and We the People to realize the Founders’ vision of a Christian nation bestowing peace, prosperity, benevolence, brotherhood among all men, rather than for the Satan worshipping, spirit cooking, drug addicted, morally insane pedophiles.
Jonah Goldberg?!
I completely condemn Jewish hatred rhetoric.
I attribute Jewish hatred to the deep state deflecting blame, that is, shifting the origination, for societal policy driven disasters and/or bureaucratic machinations, like this episode with Waltz, from the deep state itself and towards innocent Jews in order escape justified hatred, distrust and scrutiny.
These words reek of the protocols of the elders of Zion, a French intelligence product, or the stab in the back theory of defeat of Germany in ww1, as espoused by Hitler, a verified German military intelligence agent in the Weimar period.
Yes, Jonah Goldberg is Jewish. Mike Pence is Protestant. Joe Biden, the biggest f—king disaster ever installed into the White House, is, to my eternal shame, is catholic.
Jewish hatred is an old, go to trick of the deep state intelligence apparatus in practically all modern nations to deflect blame away from their bumbling elite and towards their innocent victims irrespective to the cost in innocent blood.
I will never tolerate this disgusting Jew hating slander.
They tried the same trick recently by going after Boomers, blaming them for all the ills of the world, it didn’t gain any traction.
The largest campaign is to rid the world of toxic masculinity mainly Caucasian conservative males.
All CIA driven echoed by idiots.
The Jewish people have long been the scapegoat of the Crown.
You mean Jeffrey Goldberg. Who is the topic of this discussion not Jonah.
Bin them and start again
Thanks for that SD — awesome analysis as usual.
And may I ask why Rubio’s voice was silent through this chat? Hmmmm.
…excellent question…
BFF with Warner.
From the very beginning, it has made no sense that Waltz would add Goldberg either accidentally OR intentionally. I cannot even fathom that Waltz (or anyone on his staff) would have Goldberg’s user info to add him.
Someone needs to start asking the right questions, but – as usual – it’s not going to be the SSCI members (nor the corrupt media). Perhaps someone in the NEW media, with a good understanding of the CIA, will do a worthwhile interview.
If the CIA has authorization to use Signal, that 100% means they have completely compromised the app.
And pre loaded from the Biden administration? I find that disturbing too…if I’m understanding that correctly.
Maybe Ratcliffe should be looking at the CIA people that organized the Signal chat to begin with.
