President Trump was asked about his Thursday 9:00pm ET presidential address to the nation on “election integrity” and other matters.  President Trump responded today by saying the announcement is “really big news, it’s really, really big news, and our country has to shape up.”  WATCH:

The general chatter amid the various DC interests and specific subject matter experts who seemingly have information and knowledge of the matter suggests the content of the election integrity aspect will be to highlight how Chinese interests have worked within our body politic to influence U.S. elections.

There will likely be specific citations, particularly to election investigations in Michigan, but generally the international aspect revolves mostly around China with some ancillary information about Venezuela.  CCP organizations also have compromising information on members of congress which will likely be highlighted and raise eyebrows.

President Trump will be joined in the event by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, FBI Director Kash Patel, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and others.  However, caution should be noted as newly appointed Special Government Employee John Solomon is responsible for the content.

While the expert investigators responsible for ongoing election interference investigations are alarmingly clueless about the overall Thursday intent, CTH has information on background from the pre-announcement coordination meeting.

Having a general understanding of the people around the Oval Office who are involved in the matter, I sense the Thursday announcement is more about positional optics than structural substance.

Trying to afford the most generous motive of intent, perhaps the anticipated 11-million-page (yes, you read that correctly), document dump is intended to give internet researchers the material to launch independent reviews.

That is a nice way of saying a lot of information is going to be released, but specific accountability outcomes will not be involved.

If honesty was applied to the endeavor, the White House could openly say, ‘here’s the information – what can crowdsource researchers discover’?  However, in an era when those interests around the White House are more concerned with getting credit than actually delivering actionable accountability, moderate your expectations accordingly.

This is a John Solomon operation.

Only one person’s credibility should be on the line.

Unfortunately, Solomon is likely to attempt distance from the negative backlash created by hype that leads to not much; the media will put the egg squarely on the face of President Trump.

China is the main focus; Venezuela is secondary.  The Venezuela research indicates that domestically the Maduro regime controlled the election machine voting in 2020 within Venezuela; however, there is no direct evidence the Venezuela voting system or processes were used to manipulate the 2020 U.S. election.

Much to the disappointment of Emerald Robinson and Patrick Byrne, there will be no claim that Venezuela interfered in the 2020 U.S. election.  The Intelligence Community did not discover any direct, high-confidence evidence in that regard.

Regarding China, the Intelligence Community -this is where Pulte comes in- has assessed the CCP attempted to interfere in the U.S. election using a variety of direct and indirect methods.  You are probably familiar with many of those prior reports already (Konnech etc.), what we should see on Thursday is some direct documentary evidence.

The Beijing evidence includes CCP-affiliated U.S. enterprises transmitted electronic voter files to agents of China with the intent that those files would be exploited to interfere in the election.  Additional evidence of CCP compromise over U.S. elected representatives will likely be included in this aspect.

The CCP stakeholders involved in the targeting operation are generally in state government and state election offices.  This is where jurisdictional accountability becomes murky at a federal level.  It will be interesting to review the actual data that is released; however, again we should not anticipate a lot of specifics.

This is a John Solomon operation.  Do not lose sight of that as the Thursday night buildup continues.

Don’t ask me why President Trump is willing to be influenced by John Solomon, I have no idea.  That said, this access might change dramatically by Friday morning.

CTH anticipates directionally plausible enough claims will be made to give the patina of possibility that something important exists.

A Dot.Gov website generated, files of importance professed. Somewhere around 11,000,000 documents dropped for review.  However, at the end of the rainbow…. Not much, unless crowdsourcing internet researchers can connect dots the Intelligence Community could not.  [NOTE: that outcome would not be a surprise.]

There is a concern that disposable AG Pam Bondi was to the Epstein files as disposable ADNI Bill Pulte is now positioned to the 2020 Election files.

It’s not that anyone is a bad actor in this scenario; the problem is that most people seem more concerned about their position of influence and importance in the hierarchy of the White House.

Each person is more concerned about their proximity to the office of the President, and his opinion therein.

Psychologically, this credibility problem, that has now become our credibility problem, is created by a shallow sense of self that needs to be enhanced with the illusion of institutional importance gained by the proximity to power.

This unfortunate situation, combined with the deeply ingrained resistance within the executive branch that is rarely acknowledged and allowed to fester, has consistently been the core accountability issue in President Trump’s circle.
