Generally speaking, CTH is against the Dept of Justice filing warrants and subpoenas against journalists. However, in this case the actions are warranted. If this was the Obama or Biden DOJ taking action against journalists, yes, CTH would support the govt side – on this specific point.
The issue surrounds four journalists for The New York Times who filed a public report that President Trump’s new Airforce One airplane did not have anti-missile defense systems at the time it was used in the trip to the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.
Beyond the issue of the reported leak to the media, the FBI requested the NYT not to publish their article as it would compromise the presidential security detail in a designated hostile environment. The NYT refused to withhold their reporting and did so specifically with the intent on compromising the security of a United States President. There is no circumstance where that type of journalistic motive is okay; regardless of who is President.
From the Times perspective, their report reflected an opportunity to cast snark at President Trump’s decision to convert a gifted Airforce One from Qatar. Additionally, the New York Times knew their report would put the lives of those aboard the airplane at risk. The journalists went forward specifically knowing the report could lead to a severe security compromise.
NEW YORK TIMES – The Trump administration issued subpoenas on Friday to several journalists for The New York Times, after the news outlet reported this week on security concerns involving President Trump’s new Qatari-donated Air Force One.
The subpoenas — which seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations.
In some cases, the subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at reporters’ homes.
[…] “Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public’s right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used,” Mr. McCraw wrote. “This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.”
The subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan. Mr. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by Mr. Trump to serve as director of national intelligence.
[…] The Times reported that the new Air Force One, a Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8, lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft, including antimissile capabilities. Both articles cited sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security issues.
Before the Wednesday article was published, a senior official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted The Times to ask that the article be held, calling it an issue of national security, according to a person familiar with the conversation. The F.B.I. official spoke with a reporter and a senior editor in The Times’s Washington bureau; the official declined to explain the security issue when asked. (A spokesman for The Times, Charlie Stadtlander, confirmed the account.) (read more)
There is a point at which severe opposition to the President needs to be moderated in the interests of national security and common sense (decency). There was/is no value in publishing the article at the time it was made public, except to compromise the security of President Trump.
The escalating resistance to President Trump from American media is increasingly, intentionally crossing a line.
The Trump administration is right to take all appropriate measures against such reporting.
NEW YORK TIMES ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE PRESIDENT MURDERED
Sedition, clear and simple.
On the next trip let those journalists ride on a C130. Plenty of room on the bench. If it’s good enough for military then it’s good enough for them.
pelican door seat during FINAL. untethered, without the anti gravity fabric backpacks.
work for me
God
“Man stares out into the abyss……..”
Lost in the deafening roar.
Screw that noise! They deserve to be prosecuted with extreme prejudice and then given the choice of blindfold, or no blindfold when their sentence is carried out.
Easy to say but.
Prosecuted by a Military Tribunal, for Seditious Conspiracy against the Presidency of the United States, in Guantanamo, and the sentence carried out immediately at the same location.
I’ve never understood why ANY journalists should be on board AirForce One or Two.
Security, logistics, the constant yammering. What’s the benefit to POTUS, the VP, or the American taxpayer?
If your work requires travel, get there yourself. Just like the rest of us.
Make them book and pay for their own flights.
Put ‘em on a slow boat to nowhere!
I was a C130 loadmaster for 10 years and the worst cargo I ever had to transport were journalists. I would not wish that on my fellow military members.
So —— when will the anti missile be included in the Air Force one! That aircraft should not be trusted – a gift that will destroy that could destroy our highest office – God help us!!! The “journalist” are hamas
Maybe that was a strategic leak trap and the new AF1 is in really properly fitted
I have considered this and hope that’s the case. There is no evidence for it and I don’t think there would be at this point.
But ask yourself what you think Trump would do if he was warned about this? Do you think he would go anyway? I kinda do.
Someone else commented about the use of C130 aircraft. That would be a Trump move as well. I hope he does that.
Boeing was supposed to deliver the original aircraft years ago. The craft flying now are old. Probably trust the gifted upgraded one more than the “if it’s Boeing I ain’t going” job.
That is your make believe world.
What about Butler, a secret service, homeland security, state police plot – was that Hamas too?
Did you know Israel funded Hamas?
So, you do not trust a Qatar gift? Lots of Trump allies, neocons and RINOs are allies of Qatar, including registered Qatar agents Wiles and Bondi.
All the focus should not be on the journalists either. Someone had to give out this news.
I am sure that they are looking for the leaker(s) earnestly.
Don’t spend too much time focusing on who leaked the information because any savvy person would know that this new 747 does not have the defensive capabilities of the old AF1’s. The real problem is the mendacity and treason of the NYT publishers – they are the ones who need their lives to be forfeit for their acts. Besides, it is Israel and America, sadly, who wantonly destroy precious lives with treachery and murder, not Iran.
You’re not sane to think Iran has not been involved in terrorist attacks against the US for decades. I don’t think the US as a whole government has acted in our interests but what we learned in Trump’s first term is that the IC actually without the authority of the president.
How can you be, the administration has an awful record of identifying and acting against leakers?
See the people involved before PDJT took his trip to Turkey?
The thorough questioning must be to each reporter involved who got the information first and from who first person and othes about when, where – specifics. Who was the WH staff who said that because of constraints of travelling schedules, there isn’t time to install the equipment.
Officials and experts, including former Air Force secretaries and aviation consultants, have raised concerns that the 10-month retrofit timeline was insufficient to install full missile defense and other critical systems, but these comments came from outside the White House or were attributed to anonymous officials.
On top of this, Secret Service advised against using the new plane amid heightened tensions with Iran, citing security concerns over potentially incomplete defensive upgrades.
Remember who the NYT’s speaks for…
Aha, the unnamed sources, the people close to and the friend of a friend’s neighbour.
Yes, who are these insiders talking “on condition of anonymity?
They get tto go to Guantonamo as well.
AMEN! Plug the, “Leak” and eliminate that entire threat chain, (of command?). I’m going with the intel leak coming from one of the US Military’s, Flag Officer’s, tied to his sweeping force structure changes, reducing AT LEAST 20% of the four-star general positions, to improve efficiency, overdue, imo.
Aiding and abetting the enemy. Attempted murder. The NYT and reporters cannot say it was due to emotional distress, provocation, or heat of passion. It was not reporting. They were disclosing, to the world, that President was vulnerable and what that vulnerability is. I would like to know who exactly the “sources”
were that gave the reporters the information. They are guilty as well.
Hopefully, the reporters and NYT’S are about to find out!
Sonsofbitches need to start swinging from lamp posts!
The New York Times gives a bad name to “disgusting rags,” its people are so far removed from responsible journalism.
I’m with Sundance. I’m usually hesitant to see the powers-that-be lean on purveyors of honest, public information, but then when has that last had anything to do with with the Times? Its people are radical activists, as far gone in their Leftist lunacy as the frothing mobs who besiege ICE offices. If they’re going to take a hostile, combatant attitude toward this administration, which they view as a hostile regime, endangering lives in the process, then they need to be dealt with accordingly.
The First Amendment was never meant to be a license for anti-American, reckless muckraking..

In this case, the possibility of the first leak before it got to reporters covers a wide field; Secret Service as well – advised against using the new plane amid heightened tensions with Iran, citing security concerns over potentially incomplete defensive upgrades.
Officials and experts, including former Air Force secretaries and aviation consultants, have raised concerns that the 10-month retrofit timeline was insufficient to install full missile defense and other critical systems, but these comments came from outside the White House or were attributed to anonymous officials.
The only WH staff on record – Steven Cheung, White House communications director, when asked; defended the jet, claiming it has “high-level security protocols,” but did not cite scheduling constraints as a reason for its use or limitations. What was quoted were others, who as usual, were anonymous sources.
How did reporters know to ask that question of Cheung? From who did they get the information from outside or anonymous WH personnel?
A lot of people have to be asked questions. Are the reporters involved gonna tell the American people who, when, what the info was divulged? Their phones, tablets and such will also have to combed for anything related to this.
If any time, this would be the time (when the money offered is the once in a lifetime chance) to whatever and whichever whoever who spill the beans and the persons/persons who would bring demise to the person of PDJT.
So says AI.
A reporter could be charged with treason or under the Espionage Act. Treason carries potential penalties including the death penalty. Espionage Act violations can lead to lengthy prison sentences.LII | Legal Information Institute +2
Treason
The Espionage Act of 1917
77M voters voted for definitive action against crimes against the President, which would be crimes against or Commander-In-Chief during war. They are crimes against the country, the citizens.
I have no more patience for the lack of prosecution to the fullest extent of the law for crimes of this nature.
NO. MORE. PATIENCE.
PROSECUTE.
To hell with imprisonment.
DEATH!
That would definitely get the attention of their fellow complicit colleagues.
key word… “intent”. hard to prove intent.
Jackals.
Don’t insult the jackals in the wild!
The DOJ/FBI leak to the NYT. Right? SO, who inDOL/FBI had loose lips?
DOJ. Too late to edit.
The NYT deserves a total blackout from the White House from now on.
There was an X.com post that pointed out that NO CONSERVATIVES should speak with the NY Times journalists. Cut off their information flow, 100%. I concur. One never knows.
Previously I deprecated my own NYT subscription to the lowest tier: $4/ month. Today I ended that.
NYT is truly the enemy, let us be clear.
This of course should be obvious.
If the NYT or the White House Press Association wants to sue, I would tell the Federal court that in this case there would be no Judicial Courtesy by the Executive Office and their opoinions or rulings will be ignored.
Must be the reason President Trump was not a passenger on the new plane leaving Turkey.
Yes, the New York Times attempted to assassinate President Trump.
Arrest the motherf*ckers!!!
Revoke all NYT clearances
Shut the paper down until the reporters and the editors are fired!
For starters!
And get me another lemonade will you Sally
They should have left those reporters in Turkey
I grew up in Northern NJ and my Dad refused to acknowledge the NY Times because it didn’t have Comics section. He was a great Father and Man! Also super smart!
The courts packed with leftist judges won’t do anything about this. Freedom of the press you know.
If you think this ends when Trump leaves office — you’re wrong. The increasingly far left deranged Democrats and their leftist media allies are going to treat every Republican presidential candidate and every R president the same way they have treated Trump.
All anyone has to do is look back at the coverage received by George W. Bush and the names he was called daily by the same media outlets and you will see that this is not TDS, this is pure political bias in favor of the Democrat Party.
Always has been, nothing new here.
Whoever is the next Republican President will be treated no differently.
“Nothing New Here”…?
please.
I’m sure you don’t believe that.
So, wonder why you would post that?
Doubt that you are that stupid.
plot twist: af1 (Qatar) DOES have anti missile defenses (a fact withheld on purpose).
now NYT is looking at serious criminal national security charges. (or just the implications of the same).
whether this plot twist is real or not…I have always had a desire that President Trump TAKE AIM at the main stream maniacs…and make them more than just a little nervous.
God Bless America
At this hour my mind goes blank re the female journalist being fined $800 a day for not revealing her sources. If the NYT refuses to give their sources its only fair to give them the same treatment. Smoke them out.
Just like a groundhog, you put a flare in their burrow and cover it with rock.
You might be thinking of Catherine Herridge.
https://www.usnews.com/news/entertainment/articles/2026-07-02/supreme-court-declines-to-halt-800-a-day-fine-for-ex-fox-news-reporter-refusing-to-divulge-sources
we haven’t had objective, unbiased journalism in this country for over 2 decades, these are press whores paid by democrat & rino elites, globalists, kstreet, big money donors and foreign operatives to create fictional stories out of thin air. Shame on the FCC for not removing The View claiming to b a bonafide news program and all the other biased networks for airing “distorted news” daily.
As we get closer to midterms, we need to demand accountability for daily airing of false statements, fictional stories, defamation and the normalization of violence by the left and their commie bedfellows…
God bless the Republic
Much longer.
I am a child of the 1960’s and remember my parents’ disgust over the bias of Walter Cronkite.
When it was time to watch the news at our house it was always Huntley Brinkley. The other two channels were never watched for news.
all the Huntly Brink;y Report was ABC. They are one of the worst now.
None of the three mainstreme media outlets are in any way reliable.
ABC is actually Disney and you know who runs that Sh!tshow. Disney keeps making woke LGBTQ animated movies for children that blow-up and lose hundreds of millions of dollars each year but they keep making them. Disney stock is barely $100 a share and management couldn’t care less! They are true believers!
Huntley Brinkley was NBC.
Both NBC and ABC suck anyway.
Same here. Krankheit = Sick head (German, my father was fluent).
Agreed. https://mwi.westpoint.edu/war-public-opinion-myth-cronkite-moment/
We can demand all we want, but it won’t do any good.
The Globalist Left are happy to blow billions of dollars to prop up fake news organizations, so even declining viewership is not a deterrent.
My own grandfather was part of that cabal. Sigh.
I think you forgot to include a zero in that figure.
Of course, I would first like to know from whom did the NYT get this information.
Literally everything about AF1 should be “classified.” If your publication carries any story containing or suspected to contain such material, your entire Board of Directors is subject to immediate arrest, along with all reporters, editors and others involved in preparing the story. They are to be imprisoned without bond awaiting trial. That would put the kibosh on “leaking” very quickly …
Again , Trial by Military Tribunal at Guantonamo, and execution immediatly thereafter.
Impose a daily fine on the Ochs-Sulzberger family who own a majority share 19%, the Vanguard Group 8.4% and BlackRock Inc 6.6%: https://brandsownedby.com/who-owns-the-new-york-times/
The funny part is they were happy to get all those reporters that travel on AF1 killed too. As long as they get Trump, they’d kill their own.
Max fines and max jail time.😡
They are complicit in a scheme to assassinate the POTUS and every soul aboard Air Force 1.
To hell with the warrants! I would have sent Seal Team 6 to collect them at 4AM at their homes and then deposited them in GITMO. I then would have scheduled a military tribunal for these traitors.
They have earned and should receive the death penalty!
And do you know what? Whomever the editor, or president of the NY Times is, who refused to hold the story until all were safely out of the danger area, should share the same fate as these piece of excrement traitor “journalists.”
“Mr. McCraw wrote. “This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.””
These are the same filthy swine who would run their stories by Obama or Biden administration officials and allow those officials to dictate what could or could not appear in print.
I don’t give a damn what happens with them.
That’s an insult to swine and all pigs!
Should have put those journalists on the plane for the flight out of Turkey so they could further “report the facts and advance the American public’s right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used”
The IC and the mocking bird media attempting to endanger the president should not be surprising to observant people.
Prosecute with a vengeance and set an example.
You can’t hate them enough. Also….why would the Presidents security team allow this plane to be used outside CONUS?
My solution, round up as many NY Slimes reporters and advertise AF1 flying around Iran. That would solve some of the problems
FTA:
Before the Wednesday article was published, a senior official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted The Times to ask that the article be held, calling it an issue of national security,…
I still don’t understand this. The FBI knew the NYTs had info they (FBI) didn’t want shared? So someone at FBI was running their mouth?
I believe it is customary for reporters to reach out to the subjects of a story to get their comment before publishing.
The New York Times has nasty journalist always has always will. I am just grateful and relieved that President Trump and those that traveled with him arrived home safely.
Why would the President (the Secret Service) take that plane into that neighborhood?
“Generally speaking, CTH is against the Dept of Justice filing warrants and subpoenas against journalists.”
DOJ still has not filed warrants against journalists, in this incident.
The NYT has no journalists in its employ.
The NYT has plenty of journalists; by definition, those who disseminate their view/opinion of events. What is lacking are REPORTERS trained in the who, what, where school of honest news. Please, for the love of God, don’t fall into the progressive trap of redefining language.
New York Times demonstrates willingness to put fellow media colleagues in danger. Everyone traveling on Air Force New was targeted by the NYTimes article. Who was in the press pool on that trip?
Get off my plane
Check out this video, “get off my plane youtube video” https://share.google/Dhoyphc7AQqeaTXWP
When was the announcement made that this NATO meeting would be held in Turkey? Sounds fishy to me. I get that alot.
This is very sick behavior.
Now the media are covering for communist politicians? Something has to give here. When do we start pulling licenses?
As usual I am with you 100% on this one Sundance. The media has limits when it comes to true national security.
They are, as are all Marxist scum, mine and many others like me, my mortal enemies.
Was this a delicious false flag entrapment?
Knowing exactly who upfront could be flushed out “leaking” this specific information.
Trump playing cat and mouse with the deep state and media cohorts – I am so in with that? Hang-’em high, if this is the case.
They are disgusting. they be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The F.B.I. official spoke with a reporter and a senior editor in The Times’s Washington bureau; the official declined to explain the security issue when asked.
Like the butt wipes didn’t KNOW the reason they were asked. Just an attempt to pretend it wasn’t maliciously done…
From unknown….possible 4 sure
THE DEEP STATE JUST TRIED TO TAKE DOWN AIR FORCE ONE. THEY FAILED. TRUMP KNEW.
On July 9th, Donald J. Trump was scheduled to fly out of Turkey on the new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8.
At the last possible second, he switched to the old Air Force One. The media called it a “security precaution.”
It wasn’t a precaution. It was a counter-operation.
**THE DOUBLE STRIKE AWAKENING:**
**STRIKE 1: THE SABOTAGE EXPOSED**
Military Intelligence intercepted a highly encrypted communication originating from a server farm in Langley, Virginia. The target: The avionics control system of the new Boeing 747-8.
The Deep State didn’t just want an assassination. They wanted an “unfortunate aviation tragedy” to plunge the Republic into chaos. They compromised the Qatari supply chain. They planted the exploit. They waited for takeoff.
But Trump was already three steps ahead. The switch to the old Air Force One wasn’t random. It was the exact moment the trap snapped shut on the traitors.
**STRIKE 2: THE MEDIA BLACKOUT BEGINS**
Why did the Trump administration just issue emergency subpoenas to several New York Times journalists?
Because the media wasn’t just covering up the story. *They were part of the operation.*
The NYT reporters received the subpoenas because Military Intelligence has the digital footprints proving they were briefed on the “aviation tragedy” *before* Trump was even scheduled to board the plane. They had the pre-written articles ready to publish.
They were the cleanup crew. Now, they are co-conspirators in treason.
**THE CLASSIFIED INTEL:**
▪️ **OPERATION-SKY-SHIELD** – The protocol that secured the President
▪️ **Subpoena-Alpha-7** – The active warrants for the media handlers
▪️ **Langley-Override** – The captured server data proving domestic coordination
The Deep State thought they could eliminate the Commander-in-Chief at 30,000 feet. Instead, they just handed Military Intelligence the exact coordinates of their entire domestic assassination network.
CODE: SKY-SHIELD-ACTIVE / TREASON-LOGGED / CHECKMATE
The hunter has officially become the hunted. The cleanup has begun.
President Trump is speaking many times these last few days that Iran is trying to assassinate him. He’s not saying it out loud but he knows the SEE I A is visa vie the NY Swine’s is trying to kill him as well.
Don’t think the Slime’s is going to get off as easy as the rest of the FAKE NEWS who “only” have to PAY when Pres. Trump sues them when they make shit up just to see if sticks to the wall.
Read an AP article today where they are still in denial about what happened in the 2020. Of course they are entitled to their opinion. That’s what freedom of the press is.
Freedom of the press does not include participating in a plot to kill the President.
I thought I hated them enough. I was wrong. I’m sorry.
Also who in the administration leaked this?
This is some next level crap.
So, now we know why the old Air Force one was used to bring the president out of Turkey.
The FBI requested the NYT not report this and they did it anyway. They must think that freedom of the press means blanket immunity on anything they print. Our criminal justice system has sunk so low I’m inclined to believe they will get away with it. In the meantime I will pretend we are not living in a third world country and live my best life.
There is not state secret the NYT wouldn’t expose in an effort to hurt Trump even if it aids America’s enemies. If America is the Fascist State under Trump that they say it is, they will be shut down. Trump has not created a Fascist State and the NYT will continue to be free to publish more state secrets as they get them. Once the FBI informed the Times of the threat release of this information would be, they should have waited. Yes, the government keeps far too many secrets but not every citizen needs to know every secret of the government. IMO, this is treason by the NYT to publish this story after the FBI explained why they shoudn’t.
Agreed! Thank you, Sundance!
Unclear why the entire editorial board, it’s shitty reporters, and Times ownership have not been arrested for sedition and other innumerable offenses and sued civilly into oblivion.
So why exactly does the public need to know? Warning everyone not to set off any missiles while the president is in the air? Yeah cause citizens do a lot of that in America.
Twa flight 800, 1996
Thanks for sharing. Actually when Q was really popular, there was a post, not sure who posted it, that someone had shot a missile at President Trump out west so I guess its not as crazy as I thought.
