    It's just so bizarre to me that there's allegedly rogue layers of the military that are shielding their operations from people with the highest level security clearance. Like for that to happen, they'd have to be working under their own auspices irrespective of the chain of command. Seems kinda unreal.

     

    Compartmentalized, secret programs are not unheard of.  Vice President Truman didn't even learn of the Manhattan Project until AFTER he was sworn in as the President after Roosevelt died. 

     

     

  2. This story has been simmering for awhile now.  The Investigator General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) had a closed door meeting in a SCIF with a bipartisan group of lawmakers this morning.  While we don't know what was revealed or said, several of the lawmakers are claiming that the ICIG confirmed that David Grusch, the whistleblower from last year, was legit.  

     

    While that doesn't mean that "aliens exist", it does indicate that what Grusch told Congress last year was truthful, and that people within the government did try to retaliate against Grusch.  


    Rep Burchett after the meeting with the ICIG: "I think they're covering this thing up and these guys pretty much verified that."

  3. World's best client makes impassioned plea during civil trial:

    NEW: Chris Kise asks for permission to have Trump speak. Engoron, “Do you promise to just comment on the facts and the law?” Trump starts talking immediately without agreeing.

    “This was a political witch hunt; we should receive damages for what they have taken our company through. They have no documents—they have nothing!” The only thing they have, Trump concedes, is the triplex, which was a mistake.

    “I am not sure the dollar amount would have been that far off, if you want to know!” But Trump continues, “I am an innocent man. I have been politically persecuted. . . . This statute is vicious.”

    “What has happened here is a fraud on ME. . . . The amount of taxes I have paid over this period is close to $300 million. They don’t want me here anymore. I have a problem; they want to make sure I don’t run again.”

    Trump goes on — without any interruption from Engoron or her team — and attacks James, accusing her of election interference. “You have your own agenda,” Trump angrily says to Engoron. “You can’t listen for more than one minute!”

    Engoron pleads with Kise, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” Trump nonetheless accuses James of going after him for her political gain, including an allegedly “failed” run for Governor, at which point Engoron shuts it down.

    But it’s too late. Everything Trump wanted to say was said. And now, having said it, he has left the courtroom after insisting James should pay him for the havoc she’s wreaked on his company.

  4. Trump will get his day in court:  SCOTUS agrees to hear whether he can be barred from running for office because he's an insurrectionist.

    The US Supreme Court said Friday it will review the Colorado Supreme Court’s unprecedented decision removing former President Donald Trump from that state’s ballot.
