My dearest friends, I have not spent a decade focusing on FISA or the ‘702’ issues because defeating the pending surveillance state has been the priority; that is an ancillary matter against powerful financial interests.

No, the core of my focus has always been on what FISA (702) represents.

FISA (702) et al, is a tool, a key per se’. A key that unlocks a data library. We debate control of the key, but do not spend enough time focusing on the data library itself and what it represents.

I’m not even sure if President Donald Trump is fully aware of this or not, but I am generally confident that DC insiders understand the potential.

The NSA database is essentially a library of information about activity. It is a storage box of metadata and within that data there is a sub-set, a flow of information related to election activity.

Behind that part of the issue, with that thought in mind, you now have an expanded perspective of why the ODNI would be involved in election type investigative activity. The DNI is above the NSA Director. The ODNI is an access point to the data library. Tulsi Gabbard as DNI has a vested interest in all the data housed within that vault.

Congress stood jaw agape at the appearance of DNI Gabbard in Fulton County, Georgia, without actually recognizing what stakeholder interests are represented by the content in Fulton County election warehouses.

Essentially, the NSA data vault shows XXX activity, and the factual paperwork supporting XXX exists in physical warehouses. The data is within a digital library. The factual paperwork is on the ground.

Now, pause for a moment and understand the digital library is one aspect. Access to that digital library is an entirely different kettle o’ fish.

President Trump has announced current Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the position of Director of National Intelligence.  [Truth Social] This nomination would seem to officially moot ADNI Bill Pulte.

Jay Clayton is a fellow alumnus along with President Trump from the University of Pennsylvania (undergraduate ’88, and law school ’93).

Clayton also was the signatory for the Nicholas Maduro indictment in his USAO position in New York.  Clayton was prosecuting the case.

While Clayton holds national security clearances, his nomination position would seemingly ensure Deputy DNI Aaron Lukas remains in position – per statutory guidelines for military intelligence, or similar, requirement within the ODNI office.

[NOTE: Depending on Clayton’s current intelligence status]

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “I am pleased to announce the Nomination of very Highly Respected Jay Clayton, former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the former Head of Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the most prominent and successful Law Firms anywhere in the World, and the current United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the next Director of National Intelligence and, importantly, to serve in my Cabinet. Few people anywhere in the Legal Community are respected at the level of Jay. I encourage the United States Senate to confirm Jay as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche held a press conference earlier today to outline a series of arrests during ongoing investigations to find thousands of missing unaccompanied alien children. [DOJ Press Release Here]

So far DHS agencies have found approximately 150,000 missing children with around 300,000 still unaccounted for as search and investigative efforts continue.  The statistics within the press conference are alarming.  WATCH:

DOJ – Yesterday in Cleveland, Ohio, indictments were returned charging three illegal aliens from Guatemala for international smuggling of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) and defrauding the government, while another illegal alien was sentenced to prison for smuggling a UAC to the United States in 2023 and then fraudulently obtaining custody of the child who he then sexually abused. 

The indictments charge Maritza Azucena Cahuec Coc, 38, and her brother Carlos Agustin Cahuec Coc, 33, both illegal aliens from Guatemala, for their roles in an international alien smuggling conspiracy, spanning from approximately December 2020 to October 2023, that included submitting multiple fraudulent sponsorship applications to the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to gain custody of UACs. Gladys Marina Caal Chen, 20, an illegal alien from Guatemala, who, herself, was fraudulently sponsored as a UAC, is charged with making false statements to the government in connection with a UAC sponsorship application.

Keep in mind the FISA (702) extension already passed the House, and the bill is sitting in the Senate where the ever-predictable John Thune is not bringing it up for a vote.

This morning the House tried to pass a short-term FISA (702) extension for three weeks (ending July 2). The measure failed by a vote of 218 to 198.  In addition to Democrats, nineteen republicans also voted against it.

The Democrats are claiming their lack of support surrounds the appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting DNI effective June 19, and their concern that Pulte will weaponize the FISA (702) authority to conduct political surveillance.  Yes, it’s a rather hypocritical projection within their claim.

[SOURCE]

Now, you might ask yourself…. where in the world would the Democrats get the idea that FISA (702) would be used to get “dirt on President Trump’s political enemies.”   What would lead them to that suspicion?

As customary, the radical leftists are projecting based on their own conduct.  This is the same “702” authority that Barack Obama and Joe Biden previously used to do exactly that political surveillance.  We have outlined the entire operation in granular detail citing all of the FISA records that showed exactly what the Obama-Biden group were doing.

In the bigger picture, it is very likely that congress will reauthorize FISA (702) surveillance because not doing so is against their interests. That reality creates an unusual dynamic where President Trump can leverage the inevitable outcome for his own political benefit.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Just like they did on Border Funding, the Radical Left Dumocrats are trying to take our National Security hostage because of unrelated issues. They should stop playing politics with the safety of our Great Country.

I have named William Pulte to be Acting Director of National Intelligence, who will take over on June 19th, and have asked him to execute the immediate and needed downsizing of the office, reverting staff to their home agencies. At the same time, I am looking for a permanent ODNI Nominee with experience in National Security.

FISA 702 is very important to our Military, and keeping the American People safe, especially during the World Cup and America250 Celebrations. If nothing is done, this important Law will expire this week. I am asking Congress to send me a short-term extension of FISA to provide time for the selection and confirmation of a permanent Head of the Agency. I would like to thank Director Pulte for his time and commitment.” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Legislative Branch is opposing FISA (702) renewal by using opposition as a narrative to enhance their “orange man bad” credentials.   Their opposition is fake.  In non-pretending reality we understand the Legislative Branch both wants and controls the dynamics around FISA (702).

Earlier today, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act in the Oval Office. The bill provides $70 billion for immigration enforcement, including $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for the Border Patrol, and $5 billion to cover unforeseen costs.  WATCH:

.

The appearance of Senator Rand Paul and House Speaker Mike Johnson together is rather interesting, considering the current internal dynamics behind the FISA (702) issue that puts them on opposite sides – with President Trump in the curious middle.

The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing today on the topic of the Southern Poverty Law Center, operating a program to fund, organize and stimulate racist activity, just so the SPLC could fight against racism and fundraise over it.

Amid the panel of voices presented to discuss the issue is the familiar Lawfare operative, Mary McCord.  It makes sense for McCord to get invited by the HJC because McCord was lead staff for the HJC (Nadler/Schiff) during the impeachment effort.  The relationship between Mary McCord and the HJC is lengthy.

McCord noted that law enforcement agencies routinely pay for operatives to infiltrate organizations in order to target them, so congress should not be too concerned with the SPLC funding white racists for the same purpose.  What McCord carefully avoided, was noting how the SPLC is neither a law enforcement entity nor an investigative agency of the government.

I have not had time to watch the entire hearing, and I will provide more depth of review over the next few days once I have watched all of the discussion.  In the interim, these hearings are usually ‘chaff and countermeasures.’

According to leaked information, first to CNN then again to Reuters, former National Security Advisor John Bolton will plead guilty to one count of retaining classified documents in a deal with the U.S. Department of Justice.

The deal reportedly includes a $2.5 million fine, and a sentencing recommendation of zero to five years to a judge in the case.

WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) – John Bolton, a prominent critic of U.S. President Donald Trump who once served as ‌his national security adviser, plans to plead guilty to mishandling classified documents and will pay a $2.25 million fine as part of a deal with federal prosecutors, three sources said on Thursday.

Bolton will plead guilty to one count of retaining classified information based on diary entries detailing his work ​in Trump’s first term at a court hearing on June 26, said the sources, who spoke on condition of ​anonymity to describe an agreement that had not yet been made public. The deal recommends a ⁠sentencing range of no prison time up to five years behind bars, two sources said. A federal judge will determine the ​final sentence.
