Hillsborough County Sherrif Chad Chronister, a COVID-19 mandate enforcer, has withdrawn his name from nomination as head of the Drug Enforcement Agency.  Chronister announces via Twitter:

Many people are wondering who recommended him to President-elect Donald Trump (possible hint below).  No one is certain, but the withdrawal is a positive sign.  This guy was one of the worst sheriffs in Florida for COVID-19 enforcement, and leans left under the mask of leaning right.

For President Trump this withdrawal is a slight hiccup, and he will likely not be happy with the person who recommended the nomination.

“Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration. There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling. I sincerely appreciate the nomination, outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough County.”

Macron is such a transparent weasel.  He knows he cannot openly travel to Mar-a-Lago to talk about Ukraine, so he invites Mar-a-Lago for a pre-inauguration state visit to come to him under the auspices of a reopening celebration of Notre Dame Cathedral.  lol

President Trump announces via Truth Social that he has accepted the invitation to the celebration this weekend.

Keep in mind that duplicitous Macron, a small man on the political ropes in his own country – desperate to enlarge his diminutive stature as the EU continues to grow in strength to reject Macron’s style of leftism, has pledged to Bussels that he would lead the Trump-proof efforts of NATO.

Macron earnestly believes he can woo President Trump, yet if you watch their encounters closely you will notice that Trump consistently lets the weasel do his weasel stuff while simultaneously putting sunlight on Macron’s conniving nature.

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is demanding the immediate release of Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza, saying that if they are not freed before he is sworn into office for a second term there will be “HELL TO PAY.”

Laying the groundwork for uncomfortable discussions is never easy. However, sometimes the best approach is to cite examples and then expand. Here’s two factual examples.

♦ EXAMPLE FACT #1 – In December 2017, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes asked the White House, specifically President Trump, to declassify the “Nunes Memo.” President Trump did not declassify the memo because President Trump was told by the concentric lawyers within the office that he should not. So, he didn’t.

[We eventually did see the memo, albeit with negotiated redactions, because Nunes (and Kash Patel) played by the Silo rules and entered a period of negotiations with the Intelligence Community. Nunes leveraged reauthorization of FISA-702 authority, predicated on declassifying his memo. We The People subsequently saw the memo, but we were screwed by the FISA reauthorization.]

♦ EXAMPLE FACT #2 – In January 2020, as he exited the White House, President Trump, using his office, played by the Silo rules and asked for the Russiagate documents to be made public. They never were.

This is such a great example of “Truth Management.”

Y’all are probably familiar with this declassification letter written by Mark Meadows. But what you didn’t see before is how it was designed to fail.

This approach is following the DC rules of the Intelligence Community (IC) Silos.

Senator Ron Johnson appears with a very excited Maria Bartiromo to discuss the possibility of Kash Patel taking the lead role in the FBI.

As Senator Johnson notes in the interview, bringing the truth forward to the American public is the greatest challenge. “The truth is a powerful weapon,” Johnson said. However, Johnson also notes “I’m not an optimist in this Maria, quite honestly, I wish I could say I was.”

Well said, Senator Johnson, well said. WATCH:

The operators inside the FBI silo are stunned about the announcement that Kash Patel “will serve as” the next FBI Director.  Conspicuously, their primary conduits for narrative pushback, The New York Times and Politico, are rather docile with only one article in each online publication.

Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was asked earlier today for a White House reaction to the announcement.  Here’s the short segment about that issue.  WATCH: 

.

“What makes the F.B.I. director different from most other nominees is they’re not just appointed for one term of a president,” Mr. Sullivan said. “They’re appointed for enough time to last past two terms of a president, because they’re supposed to be insulated from politics.” ~ Jake Sullivan

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence member Mike Rounds doesn’t sound too enthusiastic about Kash Patel in the role of FBI director.  In an interview this morning on ABC, the Republican senator from South Dakota said President Trump has the right to nominate Mr Patel, and the Senate will consider the “consent” from there.  WATCH:

Several people are wondering if current FBI Director Chris Wray will resign.  It’s a very unusual dynamic and the internal pressure will likely be on Director Wray to force President Trump to fire him, especially if the House and Senate are in session and there’s no possibility at the time for President Trump to appoint an “acting” replacement.

A lot can happen with President Trump announcing Kash Patel “will serve as” FBI Director, while a current FBI Director is still in place.  Without the ability to appoint an “acting” replacement, the Deputy FBI director would take Wray’s place even if Wray was fired.  Mike Rounds expresses full confidence in Chris Wray during this interview.
