Today, FBI Director Christopher Wray will face questions about the FBI role in the attempted assassination of President Trump and their investigation in the aftermath.

To date, despite the significance of the event, no official press conference with the heads of Secret Service, Dept of Homeland Security or the FBI have taken place.  There have been ZERO official press conference where USSS, DHS or FBI would answer questions.  In the absence of this protocol, which is intentionally missing, congress has stepped into the role of the media and trying to get answers.  It’s all sketchy; all of it.

Director Wray appears before the House Judiciary Committee today at 10:00am. Unfortunately, given the long history of the FBI claiming they cannot speak due to never-ending ongoing investigations, I do not anticipate much substantive progress. We are all very frustrated. Livestream Links Below.

At today’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) questioned the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, Christopher Paris, about a video he took of the Butler Township location of the assassination attempt against former President Trump.

Toward the end of his questioning, Representative Crane says he has received information that Thomas Crook’s house was scrubbed, cleaned and even silverware removed, prior to the investigative units arriving. Seems odd. WATCH:

A short background detail.  Almost no one knows this, but Chuck Grassley has the best research and legislative staff in all of Washington, DC.  Grassley’s guys are quick into the silos and understand how to stealth navigate through the system of compartmentalization that exists. [Every republican in the intel sphere will admit this] This video footage being retrieved and released specifically by Grassley’s team does not surprise me.  Great job Team Grassley.

In this footage, release by Senator Grassley via his X-Account, you will see conversation with snipers, state police, local LEO and Secret Service.  Senator Grassley communicates the following message to accompany the release:

“SENSITIVE CONTENT: July 13 Bodycam footage provides more info than Secret Service will share w America We NEED detailed answers ASAP on security failures TRANSPARENCY BRINGS ACCOUNTABILITY. Vid obtained from Beaver Co Emergency Services Unit in compliance w congressional requests.”

Shortly after Grassley’s team released the video, it was removed from Twitter – but not before it was captured for sharing by other users.

The right-wing of the DC UniPParty played their role very well.  With mission accomplished, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned her position, following the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.

(Via NBC) –  In her resignation letter, obtained from a senior official who received it, Cheatle wrote that the “scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases.” She added she takes “full responsibility for the security lapse.”

“In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director,” wrote Cheatle, who had led the agency since September 2022.  It’s unclear when her last day will be. (more)

Dept of Homeland Security, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, appoints Ronald Rowe as his replacement.  Rowe was one of Obama’s foot soldiers who helped create the domestic surveillance and targeting mechanisms for the weaponized Intelligence Community.  Go figure.

During a lengthy interview being widely discussed, Tucker Carlson and Jack Posobiec discuss the Trump assassination effort and the Joe Biden removal operation.

I would caution that multiple political and strategic planning components of the Trump assassination aspect are incorrect. Neither Posobiec or Carlson begin from the factual starting point that removing both Donald Trump and Joe Biden was the original 2024 intent. Once you accept that cornerstone, the house of thought you build changes.

Representative Mike Waltz (R-FL) questions Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle in a House Oversight hearing Monday on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Representative Waltz points out “the dog that didn’t bark.”  WATCH: (just hit play)

♦ Where are the official 10:00am press briefing updates every day on the investigation?

♦ Where are the official press conferences from the Secret Service, FBI and law enforcement answering questions and providing information from the prior days investigative results?

♦ Where are the organized and official updates to let the American people know what has been found out about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump?

There were a lot of political and campaign soundbites generated by the testimony, non-testimony, of Secret Service Direct Kimberly Cheatle today; however, one exchange between Cheatle and Representative Raja Krishnamoorhi is worth reviewing.

Congressman Krishnamoorthi plays a video in front of Cheatle showing people in the crowd pointing to the shooter and shouting at law enforcement.  Krishnamoorthi then take the opportunity to ask follow-up questions. WATCH (prompted):

Today, the House Oversight Committee [aka ‘Chaff and Countermeasures Committee] is questioning Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, on the “Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump.”

Director Cheatle is under fire for the catastropic, almost deadly, failures to provide security to President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Republicans are using the opportunity of Cheatle’s appearance to find answers about the events.  Cheatle is not expected to remain in office as the transition from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris happens in the White House.

The hearing starts at 10:00am ET with Livestream Links Below:

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo and reveals some stunning information.

At 4:27 of the video, Johnson outlines how a mystery man in a suit instructed law enforcement to send pictures of deceased Thomas Matthew Crooks to a phone number presumably connected to the ATF.  There’s a lot of odd stuff in this interview. Including Crooks being photographed at 5:10pm a full hour prior to President Trump’s arrival. {Direct Rumble Link Here} WATCH:

Not surprisingly, a few people viewed my research presentation of JD Vance through a prism of negativity. [SEE HERE] We have many new readers who are not as in-tune with the details of how the bad parts of the DC surveillance state work.  So, let me take you behind the scenes a little and expand for context.

Nothing written about the data set, the facts within the JD Vance storyline, is incorrect.  Everything is cited, accurate and factually true. However, when you get into the intent and consequence part, that’s when people start to become emotional.  Some clarity is needed.

Commenter Freedom Ring provides a good example.  FR says, “JD has an association with Theil [sp?] & Musk; this could be worded to be a positive or negative, but the article paints it as a negative.”

This is correct. The research article positions the relationship between JD Vance and Peter Thiel as a serious challenge, here’s why.

Since his original endorsement of Donald Trump in 2016, a good thing, billionaire tech executive Peter Thiel has expanded his company, Palantir Technology, to be the leading edge of a data-processing system.  The Palantir tech is designed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to crawl through massive sets of surveillance data, phone data, facial recognition data, metadata (writ large) etc.

In essence Palantir Tech is receiving government contracts (Defense and Intel) to use the Palantir AI tools to analyze/filter a massive amount of electronic data, and take action based on results from the data, or what might be called SIGNIT (Signals Intelligence).  There are billions at stake in this relationship.

In short, Thiel has a vested financial interest in providing AI surveillance filtration tools to the U.S. government.

Ok fine. That’s just a simple acceptance of what Thiel’s company does now. And Thiel recruited JD Vance back in 2012/2013 while at Yale law school, and personally financed JD’s entry into the world of politics in 2020/2021.  I won’t repeat all the citations but suffice to say, without Thiel there is no Senator/VP Vance.  Thiel leveraged his relationship with Donald Trump to get JD Vance the Ohio primary endorsement in 2022, and the rest is history.  Fair enough. Nothing disputed.

Here’s where things get sticky….

Thiel’s company Palantir Tech provides the AI metadata analytic tools used by the U.S. government in their national security efforts.  The government access to that metadata comes, in part, as an outcome of the legislative FISA authorization.  As a consequence, eliminating, say… FISA(702) surveillance processes, is against the financial interests of Peter Thiel.  If the U.S. government cannot access the dataset, the U.S. govt doesn’t need Palantir’s AI filtration tech.  That’s just the nature of the relationship.
