There are, as best I can fathom, three possible options for what you are about to read from Texas Senator John Cornyn.
The outgoing senator sent this public statement via his X Account:
[SOURCE]
It is the official position of the United States government that Ukraine has never had access to the “Starshield” global satellite system used by the United States military for communication and global guidance targeting. Giving Ukraine access to Starshield would be akin to the United States operating missile and drone targeting of nuclear armed Russia.
For obvious reasons the U.S. government would not want to escalate to direct military conflict with a nuclear-armed power.
Senator John Cornyn is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Cornyn has been a long-time tenured member of the Republican Senatorial Leadership Team. There are three options behind this X message:
Option #1 – Senator John Cornyn genuinely doesn’t know that Ukraine has never had access to “Starshield.” The implications within this possibility are alarming, especially when you consider his senate office staff wouldn’t stop him from making a public fool of himself.
Option #2 – Assuming he’s not made a mistake. Senator John Cornyn has just publicly exposed a deep state, highly classified secret, outlining to Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin that the United States has indeed been operating the Ukraine targeting system against Russia all along. This has major implications.
Option #3 – Again, assuming he’s not made a mistake. Senator John Cornyn has just exposed that elements within the United States government are controlling military operations and operating without the knowledge of President Donald Trump and Secretary of state Marco Rubio.
You choose.
One thing is very clear, someone from Vladimir Putin’s office is very likely calling someone in the White House chain of command to gain clarity. Maybe that ‘friction’ and/or ‘deconfliction’ problem is the reason Cornyn wants to kick sand?

I have a fourth and more likely possibility.
John Cornyn is a major player in the traitorous cabal selling out this country.
Traitor.
Just like Mark Warner!
I’m telling you it’s this narrative here ; let me fill you in on what the leftist propaganda machine FOX news was promoting in the most atrocious anti Trump fashion. Some woman “expert” completely ignoring the discrepancy between Starlink & Starshield was droning on about how PJDT wanted Diesel to come down for the Elections so he slowed Starshield down which led to Ukraine taking massive damage – she said it was eerily similar to Trump’s first term where she linked the perfect phone call to a fake claim that PJDT slowed down arms shipments which caused harm to Ukraine and that’s what he got impeached for!
Do you see the repeat narrative FOX was setting up for the democrats. Thank God Zelenskyy didn’t have Starshield but had abused Starlink. And what about this so-called “expert” it’s pretty obvious what she was willing to do if it hadn’t blown up in her face. Another outrageously slanderous hoax perpetrated against The President of The United States!
We’re only going to get more of this until somebody pays! That’s the only way it’s going to stop!
Good Lord, we’ve got to get someone behind bars!
Mongoose ,
That is why I no longer have any use for the decepticon stable of losers a Fox.
I know there are some who are on Fox that don’t appear to be deceptive.
Don’t let them fool you.
When the time suits their boss everyone will eventually expose themselves of be fired.
How could the so called good ones stay working there knowing what goes on behind the scenes?
I am down to just Charles Payne on Fox Business after they fired Bartiromo.
Dropped Fox News several years ago….
SXM channel 143 is the Agricultural channel.
You just can’t beat the Ag report for what is going on with the backbone of America.
I, too, listen to Chas Payne but it’s also on SXM.
I am not going to watch FB since Bartiromo’s departure.
I completely lost interest in Payne when he almost cried with emotion when he was describing how excited he was over the first Juneteenth celebration.
He was absolutely weak and pathetic.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
You got a link for that?
Todd
I saw it ,I remember it well and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Sorry that’s the only link I care to have.
Why would I ever save such a disturbing thing?
For some reason, I suspect that Warner is angry all the time related to the juvenile acne he had to deal with as he was entering his teens and his classmates had to watch puss oozes his face as he sat in class. He likely had no friends during that time. At this point in his life, he still doesn’t have friends, but he’s become used to that. Now the puss just oozes from his brain and mouth.
I apologize from the picture I painted that you had to endure. And that was not a nice thing for me to say. But that’s my opinion of him.
Option #4; Cornyn is a rino piece of shit who’s head is so far up his azz he can’t breath
The narrative is going to use Starshield anyway even though Zelenskyy has Starlink (Starlink legally can not be used for war). That’s how brazen these weirdos are.
Cornyn would be a good place to start with jail time, everybody’s sick of this.
Power has made these people psychotic.
Sociopaths seek power over others, and most career politicians fall under this category.
But more to the point, Hell hath no fury as a sociopath spurned.
“………..even though Zelenskyy has Starlink (Starlink legally can not be used for war).”
The operative word here is “legally”
Illegally, Zelenskyy and his handlers can and will do whatever they think they can get away with.
Just like Harry Reid “ He didn’t get elected did he’’ ! He’s so butt hurt he’ll burn the place down on his way out the door
I’m curious why you self-censored one of the not 7 words you can’t say on TV, but spelled out the one you can’t say on tv.
Option #5 – Cornyn is putting war, any way, front and center because a lot of America-First voters are against war, after enduring endless wars under globalists like Cornyn.
And – a “republican” (actually Uniparty) senator promoting war this way, the same day early voting begins in Texas, is a way to suppress Conservative and MAGA voter turnout.
Cornyn is purple-rage angry at those deplorable voters in Texas that kicked him out. He is a petty, weasely, passive-agressive, back-stabbing, contolled little toady for Mitch McConnell. Cornyn wants revenge on Texas conservatives.
And the rest of the committee members put him up to it because they’re all in the same line of business.
0.o
We all know he has never sneezed without Mitch McConnel’s blessing, so this is almost certainly done with McConnellThune on board. They’re in cahoots with the broke-as-broke Europeans and using him to make a huge push for war with Russia on his way out the door.
Also, I won’t be surprised if we learn that deep staters in a certain 3 letter agency actually HAVE been using Starshield (I’m not confused about which one that is) to continue a proxy war against Russia.
That, in a nutshell, is Cornyn and the Bush clan of Texas; as a Texas voter, I voted earlier today for his replacement, i.e., Ken Paxton; Lord help us if Talerico/DSA win; this is not a drill.
Wonder who the “six” Senate colleagues are; you can bet they’re in the same repulsive class as Corny, Tillis, and Shaheen.
My wife and I just got back from voting. Couldn’t vote for Paxton fast enough.
We are going to tomorrow
A bit off topic, but did the poll workers give you any idea of how busy they have been at your voting location?
Same here we voted for Paxton with no qualms!
Amen
Someone doesn’t want a Summit with China, Russia and US…..could that be another reason?
Exactly… we like never to have gotten rid of him.. why would democrats never fund a candidate to run against him.. He is solely responsible for the failure of open primaries in this state.. He cannot be trusted to do what’s best for his constituents let alone the the country.. His remarks are the construct of an angry unemployed politician doing whatever it takes to piss on everyone’s rise to prosperity.. Good riddance
Atty friend here in Dallas tells me Cornyn is thrilled not t/b returning to DC…
I’ll believe it when he moves back to Houston…
Then why did the shitehead run for re-election?
He’s exhibiting a typical psychological defense mechanism.
“She didn’t dump me , I dumped her, and I didn’t want to be with her anyway….”
All that money (grift?) and power must be hard to give up. Look for these rinos to pop up elsewhere in the next couple of years if only to throw rocks and sand in the gears. Oh, and to get paid doing it.
By now Putin knows what the Ukrainian military capabilities are and from where they get them. This is interesting, what Cornyn said but not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of how the two adults in the room try are trying to end the globalist scheme.
Putin and PDJT are still on the same page.
He was probably planning this even if he won his primary. It looks like the whole thing is well planned to me.
Option 3 seems very possible.
I wouldn’t believe a single word out of Corny’s mouth. Most informed Texans are thrilled to see him gone.
That’s a fact
Cornyn and 8 other losers…
Spit!
Stood in line for an hour and twenty minutes today to cast my vote for Ken Paxton.
Well done! 🇺🇸
Wonderful the line was that long!
Yep. Deep red Montgomery County TX.
We go tomorrow.. taking a few friends too
most excellent!
Plan to vote later this week for taking names and kicking ass Paxton, if only he had been 45s AG instead of wimp Jeffery Sessions…
all this early voting makes me uneasy with the data it provides the cheaters in Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Curious to watch this play out and see if there are any big vote dumps on election night. As AG, Paxton must have big teams watching these democrat cheaters in TX.
In an honest election, Paxton wins with his arm hanging out the window of his car (like Richard Petty used to do to piss off his competitors)……
So delighted to see my fellow Paxton supporters gettin’ it done!
The wifey and I will go vote for Paxton (and the rest of the R ticket, all the way down to dog-catcher) on Thursday.
I’m also keeping after friends & family to get their vote in for Paxton and the ticket. Everyone here on TCTH can be a force multiplier, get the good guys over the finish line.
I have less worry about the dem-controlled urban counties using the early vote numbers to plan their cheating, thanks to AG Ken Paxton building a staff of High-IQ Pit Bull prosecutors and investigators that for years now put a lot of pressure on those urban county election offices to walk the straight and narrow.
All of them seem plausible.
I am leaning towards #3 because it would be just like the pocket of traitors within our military to somehow allow Ukraine to have access to the USA’s Starshield technology.
Cornyn & Friends, I believe, are trying to destroy PDJT and this would be (in their pea brains) the way to do it.
They’re ganging up for sure. They’re all over X mouthing off. Cronin is not the only one Mike Pence is there too and lumen ball and I can’t remember who else but there’s a bunch of them.
Then your revelation helps us understand that the deep state does not understand the mindset of the American Citizens.
They cannot possibly believe that the “many now paying attendtion” would listen to them over the Administration and trustworthy persons like Rubio, Hegseth and Bessent.
Your revelation also confirms this is another deep state psyop.
Options 2 & 3 imply that Ukraine DID have access to Starshield, if I understand the “mistake” here.
Very possible the deep state IC has held vital information from the war and other intelligence to PDJT.
If so, need court martials and firing squads.
What about the statement “…and protect American personnel.” ???
Doesn’t that imply Americans on the ground in Ukraine?
Think i was writing the same thing but you hit post first!
Exactly.
You calling me the old Lurker or something?
Thanks for the compliment 😉
Option 4 – Since he can’t be a senator anymore, he wants WWIII and for the world to end in nuclear war.
Regardless, what he did is reckless at best or more likely, committed some serious crimes by his small man TDS immature outburst. Maybe treason if conditions that are top secret lead to that.
Option 5 – Setting the stage for Impeachment #3 somewhere around February 2027 if the mid-terms work out for “them” in the House, effectively cutting off another year of PDJT’s term.
recall the “joke” — CEO at a board meeting says, “in spite of the end of the world scenario, there are still many opportunities for profit”. JohnWayne Cornyn must have seen opportunities for profit.
Do not besmirch John Wayne’s name with that traitor cornyn! Please and thank you.
Additionally, how would this be putting American personnel at risk? He appears to also be alleging we have boots on the ground
Wonder if those boots have sea eye aye or deep state feet in them.
I will take door number three. There are rogue elements in our military and IC who have not been working for the President and American people for decades.
What about Zelenskyy and what he claims?
Hand in glove he had access.
Zee man complaining about slow download speeds makes me think he didn’t spring for the unlimited talk and data plan.
Maybe there are some white hats working on not giving him everything he wants. Or they’re still giving, just at much slower speeds.
what’s more likely is that nothing was “slowed down” at all and he’s lying out his ass as usual.
valid point.
If Tillis is involved, it is to cause mayhem for President Trump before he leaves the Senate. I’d start with following the money trail to their bank accounts. Can anyone here name one thing these three Senators have ever done to benefit our President?
Or the U.S.?
No money now. That will come afterward.
He’s milking up on X too.
I can only speak for my worthless Texas Senator. He has done nothing for Texas during his 21 year reign.
Regardless if the election outcome Tillis and Cornyn will not be missed.
I’d guess Putin already knows, whatever the answer is.
Sen Cornyn is hip deep in this Ukraine money laundering scheme as is Tillis. Both are on their way out.
Give Cornpone a rifle and a helmet and send him to fight the Russians. I’m fed up with that jackass.
I say two most probable:
He’s just an idiot
or
#3 the “deep state” found a way to get Ukraine access they weren’t allowed and it was cut off, thus triggering the outrage.
#3 is akin to a coach passenger sitting in first class for a good portion of the flight and then being told to return to the back of the plane who then screams and yells about unfairly losing his seat
“… the “deep state” found a way to get Ukraine access they weren’t allowed
and it was cut off, thus triggering the outrage.”
this sounds most plausible to me.
the “outrage” has ratcheted up considerably since the first mention of
the targeting system(s).
wonder if the “American personnel” being mentioned are
the operators of either or both Starlink/Starshield ?
If this is true….then the good guys found out about it and stopped it?
This could also mean that Treasury has been using FinCen to trace money flows re: Ukraine as well as Iran…..
Elon: We try hard to keep these separate. WTF does that mean?
He probably means it’s hard to keep the deep state out.
Suggests to me that for a time they were not separate and he found out and separated it, leading to Zelensky and Cornyn crying about the loss of a system they weren’t supposed to have in the first place. A system that could literally make us participants in this war.
It means.. Starlink and Starshield are not the systems or satellite programs ..
There might be instances where data is passed through ANY of SpaceX’s satellites in order to assure timely or top performance.
For instance: the U.S. Military needs targeting info. A Starlink is in the area or better position at that moment and is used temporarily to pass data. Once weather or logistics are more favorable the service switches back to Starshield equipment.
Musk would know.
You think he doesn’t monitor everything from his underground lair?
It’s rumored he has his IT people let him know when people are having sex in a Tesla.
Please.
This situation may be why I heard on WarRoom that Putin has just asked for a meeting re: Ukraine.
I doubt this was a problem with Cornyn’s staff, because why would they bother to sabotage a man already on his way out the door – and who knows if THEY even know the difference.
I fully expect Cornyn heard about this and wanted to be the first to try to say, aha, look at another fault with President Trump and his administration.
Sounds to me like Cornyn is just trying to stir up some shit for Trump as he goes out the door.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass Cornyn!
Don’t let the door hit ya
Where the Good Lord split ya!
~ ~ Thinking of you, dear Dutchman ~ ~
It’s very obvious even to the most blind that the United States has been helping Ukraine target Russia.
There’s no doubt in my mind at least that it’s option number two.
What Cornhole is doing is the equivalent of throwing a molatav cocktail on his way out the door.
maybe combination of #2 and #3; The U.S. was “helping”…but the Deep State took it way beyond permissible boundaries, without informing POTUS or Sec Def.
Option #3 would not surprise me.
I would be curious why he would mention, “…..protect American personnel”.
There aren’t any American personnel over there or are there some over there? Hmmmmm.
Private contractors?
0.o
American mercenaries, for sure. Covert U.S. gov IC advisors? Yes, likely.
Not so covert, actually.
Russians report casualties among Nato advisors who are airlifted out, mostly to Germany.
Some Americans perish in car accidents while “vacationing” it at Uke spas.
………And so forth………
CONgressional BAGMEN.
American personnel = USAID deep state plants and provocateurs?
Straight out military. Sometimes described as “retired”.
If there are, Cornyn just outed them. For their “protection”, of course. I have a very bad feeling about this.
Cornyn is a known s**t-stirrer. He’s on his way out, so he’s got nothing to lose. If he can disrupt the peace process or disrupt improving relations with Russia, then he’ll do it. The alarming implications of his blabbering are exactly why he’s blabbering in the first place.
Sometimes bitter old losers are willing to “burn the place down” on the way out.
I’ll bet on that option.
He’s like an upset innocent French nerdy school kid who needs more supplies……….of bricks and Molatov Cocktails.
Having been inside classified space systems, I have a really hard time imagining options 2 and 3. They are not being operated by the CIA or FBI -but by the National Reconaissance Office, Space Development Agency and The Space Force. In other words, the DoW. I doubt that Cornyn even has clearances to access the information about who is given access to the network. It is going to be SI/TK or likely even SAP programs which are highly restricted in terms of the numbers of people briefed into it. I worked programs where not a single person from the White House or Congress was briefed into out of fear they would compromise its existence. They knew about the general mission area but not the specific program.
Option 1 is my guess.
That would make me feel much better. Thanks for the perspective.
Well sure, these systems’ access is airtight.
And there are no burn rooms that no one knows about.
And election machines cannot be accessed by the internet.
And government people cannot get themselves excluded from Flock Watch.
And no one can remove documents from secure government facilities.
And somehow unhackable data was removed from Hitlerys server.
And there are no black ops.
And the CIA was not running drugs into LA.
My default belief is all government systems are sieves.
Cornyn may be getting his information from Zelenskyy and no one else
Ex-Senator Cornpone just can’t keep his fat yap shut. You lost, get over it.
Option 1 Being a retard or one of his aides is. -> actually for the US this is the best option. (
You would not believe how many retards work in governments who have absolutely no clue about what they are doing or should be doing.
Give the Senator a twenty something assistant who heard this issue mentioned within his circle of friends and had a sudden “AHA” & “GOTCHA” moment. Rushed to the senator explained everything he just heard, without actually fact-checking it.
They posted it. Someone links Elon Musks reply about the difference of Starshield and Starlink and they realize oopsie.
This is actually the best case scenario, when they talk about things they don’t bother to check or understand. Like any “good politician or administrator” does.
Ring, ring… calling Pete Hegseth
… Pete??
… Pete??!!!
I love the Putin’s aggression BS. Like the deep state did not have a hand in any of this to antagonize Russia and Putin just decided one day to invade Ukraine.
Cornyn can’t go away soon enough.
option 4
setting the narrative for another russia, russia, russia impeachment of president Trump
Possibly, he is trying to assist Dems, should they get control of legislature, by providing yet another predicate for impeachment.
Option 4: Cornyn fully aware and is trying to conflate the Starlink vs Starshield issue to create angst going into the mid terms. I think this whole thing is a DS psy-op to disrupt our elections.
That’s right up his alley too..
I wonder too, along these lines.
Could be that Cornyn knows it’s not true that StarShield is being used for Ukraine.
Could he be intentionally posting a lie to stir up trouble, make things complicated between Putin and President Trump to muddy the waters in the hopes of preventing a possible October Surprise: President Trump wrapping up the war in Ukraine?
As you say, anything to disrupt the election or throw a wrench in the gears.
Another possibility is that Ukraine had access to Starlink and Zelensky hackers figured out a way to access Starshield. Ukraine has a huge hacker network
…and if Starshield was hacked, then maybe an intentional slowdown was part of a diagnostic/investigative process…?
Time for his treason arrest and hanging
“Friction” is an AI word.
What does he mean by saying “Starshield is needed to protect American Personnel?” What US Personnel do we have on the ground in Ukraine???
American mercenaries, for sure. Covert U.S. gov IC advisors? Yes, likely.
Corollary: it’s a good thing John Cornyn is leaving the Senate and it cannot happen soon enough.
Even if we go along with the fiction that what is happening in Ukraine is due to “Putin’s aggression”, I still have never seen anyone even attempt to explain how the national interest of the United States is in play here. Speaking as a citizen of these United States, I certainly do not feel that I have any interest whatsoever in this fight.
Of course the reason our ‘national interest” is in play is because Ukraine is a US proxy state where we overthrew the prior government and installed an anti-Russian one, and then trained and equipped the Ukrainian military for the war with Russia which we knew we were provoking.
But the crooks like Cornyn and Tillis can hardly say that part out loud.
Ditto. Ukraine is not a NATO member, they are not a military ally, they are not an economic ally – unless your name is Biden – and there is not any reason why we should have been pulled into the whole mess. Yet somehow the left views us as being entirely responsible for financing and arming Ukraine.
WHY?
StarLink has been manipulated/hacked to operate as StarShield.
Cornyn just showed his stupid hand and X’d out a blunder.
Go after the hacker(s) within the DS.
They are probably listed on the Nasdaq or NYSE.
To add:
This war started under O’Biden.
Maybe StarShield was used during 46.
Wouldn’t it be something if 45/47 just managed to get the previous Admin to hang themselves.
Zelenskyy said StarLink was slowed.
Cornyn said “StarShield was used.
Get the popcorn ’cause CornPop & crew may be going down for the count.
I can only hope O’bumr & BushtheDecider goes with ’em.
Has Senator John Cornyn made any effort over the past 4 years to find a peace resolution?
I find warmongering politicians from both parties despicable people
because as an old man I have seen the effects of World War 2 on the lives of men who volunteered.
Had Republicans told the President on day one of his presidency, no more arms, money and intel
only efforts to bring peace it would have forced Zelensky to make a deal.
They, the EU, UK and NATO have blood on their hands for pouring gasoline on the flames of this war.
I don’t like the language in Rubio and Elon’s statements here. All reference Starshield not being available at this moment. That infers to me that they know it had been previously.
This leads to two possibilities.
Maybe Cornyn approved its use under Biden and PDJT/Musk/Rubio/Hegseth removed it and gave StarLink which was what was originally supposed to be.
Zelenskyy said ‘StarLink’ was slowed.
…or it was hacked…
Senator John Cornyn is committing treason against the United States as defined in the U.S. Constitution: “adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”
The specific enemy is Senator John Cornyn. He is giving aid and comfort to himself.
Sounds like a purposeful leak of top secret information.
I’m going with Option #2.
Very bad man. A poster child for Uniparty Club representation. Wishing him into the cornynfield
We are getting closer and closer to an outright civil war.
They will do anything to stop President Trump.
What we don’t know yet is what President Trump is planning to do.
That’s what they want; they may get it.
Just reading about the DataRepublican drops about their very complete plans to force President Trump into using the Insurrection Act after the midterms, and then the Democrat Governors taking control. It’s deeply concerning and needs to be fully aired and resolved before we reach that point.
The sparks are igniting one after another.
On the bright side, President Trump can deal with enormous pressure without losing his grip.
Read that PDT and the Insurrection Act fantasy. There would not be any Dimwaste governor who would be able to control their state’s population if they tried that route. There’s about 150 million plus conservative gun owners in the US who would call BS on that deal.
Issue another executive order to be instantly nullified by a Biden judge.
Ye of little faith.
Can you even begin to fathom how far he’s gotten us? Pick a category, the border, for example, and think about where we were two years ago.
For a great recap on how the President and Sec. Bessent are making and enforcing significant change where it matters, see the video below. I copied some if the summary but there is so much behind done it doesn’t do it justice.
Instead of lamenting what he’s not doing, we need to do what we can to support him. We the people are the source if his strength. Get prepared and hang tough!
https://www.prometheanaction.com/the-monday-brief-not-above-the-law-bessents-1-2-billion-strike-on-the-empires-banks-october-19-2026/
“Susan Kokinda opens with the more than $1.2 billion in penalties Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s Treasury imposed on Bank of America on October 13 for violating anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, among the largest in Treasury history, after FinCEN found the bank failed to report priority national security risks, including Chinese money laundering networks and illicit finance along the southwest border. The episode traces the bank’s record from Countrywide, Merrill Lynch and its $45 billion TARP bailout back to the petrodollar loans of the 1970s, the 1980s debt crisis and IMF austerity in Latin America, and Tom Clausen’s moves from Bank of America to the World Bank and back. It then turns to Bank of America’s chairman and CEO Brian Moynihan, chair of the Sustainable Markets Initiative founded by King Charles and of the World Economic Forum’s International Business Council, and the Net-Zero Banking Alliance launched in April 2021. It closes with Secretary Bessent’s statement to the IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok on growth, exchange rates and energy, including an initial U.S. contribution to the Nuclear Energy Assistance Trust Fund, and the gap in nuclear power between the OECD and the developing world.”
I personally believe the majority of the Senate (R) are sneaky, lying snakes that operate underhandedly. I believe they have been ignoring their “constituents”, serve themselves and their “big donors”, and willingly lie to us and to President Trump. I believe they hate us all, and Cornyn along with Thune, McConnell and the rest of the scum in DC have been helping to fuel the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Protect Americans in Ukraine?
Who and what are they doing there?
Boots on the ground? I hope not.
It is abundantly obvious that whatever Congress represents, it is most emphatically not “the nation”. For the most part Congress seems to act as the mouthpiece of the very government agencies it is supposedly in charge of.
As a reminder, back in 2014 it was discovered that the CIA were spying on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. That is, they were spying on the very people whose job it is to ensure that the CIA has not gone rogue.
What punishment for the CIA resulted from this? None. None at all. They promised not to do it again, or at any rate to not get caught doing it. Because Congress works for the CIA, not the other way around.
If it’s #1, he should be arrested.
If it’s #2, he should be arrested.
If it’s #3, he should be arrested.
