One of the least understood dynamics about how the DC silos operate, pertains to review and investigative work done by government officials into government misconduct.  In essence, special counsels, special investigators and appointed special prosecutors do not look at government activity if that activity can be framed as political.  The silos protect themselves from external review.

As a consequence, the only administrative review of government misconduct happens when the silos look internally at their own agency.  In this short video below Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard outlines that 11 internal investigations are ongoing to target Intelligence Community officials, staff and employees who are leaking classified information to the media.

After the internal review, the DNI then sends (criminal) referrals to Main Justice and the FBI if warranted.  Currently three criminal referrals have been sent to the FBI/DOJ as eleven investigations continue.  WATCH:

TRANSCRIPT … […] “as I said, the politicization of our intelligence community needs to end—to even begin to start to earn the trust of the American people. The actions that we’ve taken—unfortunately—there continue to be significant leaks coming out of the intelligence community. Not only my organization, but the CIA and others—again, by those who are very directly trying to undermine the agenda and actions of President Trump. Once again, the President who was elected by the American people with an overwhelming mandate.

It looks like Matt Gaetz is done with DC politics. [Video Below]

During an interview today, Mr Gaetz has big praise for Pam Bondi and says he will remain outside government trying to assist President Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda.

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said Friday that he doesn’t plan to rejoin Congress after he withdrew his name from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations.

“I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz said in an interview with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

“There are a number of fantastic Floridians who stepped up to run for my seat, people who have inspired with their heroism, with their public service. And I’m actually excited to see Northwest Florida go to new heights and have great representation,” he added.

Gaetz, who was first elected to Florida’s state House when he was 28 years old, noted he has been in elected office for 14 years,

“I’m 42 now, and I’ve got other goals in life that I’m eager to pursue — my wife and my family — and so I’m going to be fighting for President Trump,” he said. “I’m going to be doing whatever he asks of me, as I always have. But I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress.”

Facing brutal opposition from John Thune, Mitch McConnell and the DeceptiCON coalition in the U.S. Senate, former Congressman Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for the U.S. Attorney General position.

Appearing on C-SPAN, Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman outlines the reason she supports the nomination of Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General.

Additionally, Rep Hageman gives a strong outline of the activity within the DOJ, FBI and DHS over the past few years, as the background of her support for President Trump to return to Washington DC and target the corrupt institutional activity.  The first 8 minutes are quite impressive.  WATCH:

Following the first 8 minutes, Harriet Hageman responds to the protestations by Michael Bromwich, the former seriously corrupt DOJ-NSD official who represented Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey-Ford.

Oh, it’s those infamous “hackers” again, only this time they are not Iranian or Chinese, this time it is a mysterious “hacker” under the presumably fictitious name Altam Beezly, who has intruded into the files of a civil lawsuit filed by lawyers representing a Florida businessman tangentially tied to accusations against Attorney General nominee, Matt Gaetz.

As the story is told, “according to a person with knowledge of the activity,” there is transcript testimony from a woman who claims to have had sex with Matt Gaetz when she was 17-years-old.  The DOJ previously looked into the accusations and never went further.

New York Times – […] The file of 24 exhibits is said to include sworn testimony by a woman who said that she had sex with Mr. Gaetz in 2017 when she was 17, as well as corroborating testimony by a second woman who said that she witnessed the encounter.

The information was downloaded by a person using the name Altam Beezley at 1:23 p.m. on Monday, according to the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly. A lawyer connected to the case sent an email to the address associated with Altam Beezley, only to be informed in an automated reply that the recipient does not exist.

The material does not appear to have been made public by the hacker. (read more)

Which begs the question, if the material has not been made public then how does the New York Times have any awareness of it?

The “Big Ugly” was always a description of the battle that few understood.  You cannot be betrayed by your enemies; that happens when your allies reveal themselves against your interests.  Majority Leader John Thune will play his cards carefully in order to extract maximum damage.

The Senate is factually the core of republican opposition to MAGA and President Trump.  The visible battle against Obama, Biden, Harris and the professional political left, always consumes the most attention.  However, it is the less-visible battle against the entrenched ideological republicans that proves to be the hardest.

The Republicans in the upper chamber will not relinquish power easily.  They have a multitude of weapons to use against the insurgency of President Trump supporters.  We are seeing this play out now in the alignment of Republican Senators who stand in opposition to President Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz as U.S. Attorney General, and this recent report aligns with exactly the type of move we would expect.

The basic outline is that senate leadership will reluctantly support Matt Gaetz for Main Justice, where ‘support’ means they will not directly oppose; in exchange for the nomination of FBI Director Mike Rogers to defend their interests at FBI.

This is the typical type of deal the DeceptiCons are well known for.

Thune and McConnell (in background) have yet to reveal who they have planned to place in the chair positions of multiple committees. We are very interested to see who chairs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence because that mutually dependent relationship is the core of the IC influence in the legislative branch.  The same may be said for the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and ultimately the Gaetz nomination.

This recent report aligns with information we have received from the senate staff offices who are discussing the Gaetz nomination.  Thune would not make such a proposal openly, for obvious reasons, but intermediaries would relay the message between the upper chamber and the transition team.

There is a lot going on in the background of the Gaetz nomination that I will get too shortly, much of the information from dozens of phone calls yesterday.  In the interim, here is an outcome of YOUR pressure in combination with the Truth Social message from President Donald Trump.

Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin has reversed his position.  He will now support Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General. WATCH:

🚨BREAKING: Sen. Markwayne Mullin will vote to confirm Gaetz as AG:

Senator Mullin was part of the strong opposition group to Gaetz. The public pressure is working. Keep sending them messages that we demand support. Great Job!

According to NBC, DOJ Lawfare operatives and FBI agents within the corrupt and weaponized silos, are calling their friends for legal assistance and protection against investigations of their past activity.

It is easy to see how DOJ-NSD officials would be worried, particularly given the nature of how Deputy AG Lisa Monaco organized them over the past four years to continue Lawfare efforts against President Trump.  Perhaps one name, Mary McCord, should be concerned a little more than most.

Additionally, the FBI agents who participated in the witch hunts against President Trump and his allies are also concerned.  Both groups now reaching out to lawyers proactively evaluating their risk against the backdrop of demonstrably corrupt and illegal activity.

In short, the article outlines how they were nervous before, but they are extremely worried now that Matt Gaetz has been nominated as Attorney General.  Many of them planning to exit quickly and take a low-profile position.

.

WASHINGTON DC – Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.

There’s no doubt Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is supporting President Trump’s nominees, Schmitt says “yes, I will,” full stop.  Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is a little less optimistic, but still in favor of supporting President Trump’s nominees.

Tuberville says the issues within the GOP Senate need to be worked out between their opening session on January 5th and the inauguration of President Trump on January 20th.  The GOP needs to hammer out their positions during that timeline, then shut up and support the President.

The conversation then moves to the specific support for Matt Gaetz, both MAGA senators Schmitt and Tuberville say they will support Gaetz for the reasons of confronting the weaponization of Main Justice.  Former AG from Missouri, Senator Schmitt shows why he would be an excellent nominee to confront the Deep State in any role, he rightly notes his previous lawsuits against the Biden administration.  WATCH:

In what can only reasonably be described as a MOAB targeted directly to Main Justice, President Trump has nominated Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz to be United States Attorney General.

[Source]

Making the nomination strategy that much more interesting, Matt Gaetz resigned his position within congress, “effective immediately.”

In combination with the nomination of Senator Marco Rubio to the State Dept., this sets the stage for a Senate situation where the upper chamber may attempt to derail the Gaetz nomination, yet Florida Governor Ron DeSantis could then appoint him to be the replacement U.S. Senator from Florida; thus, returning an angry MOAB back into the silo that derailed him.

You couldn’t write this script if you tried.
