    Sounds an awful lot like they’re leaving the backdoor unlocked and unsupervised, knowing someone is going to try something, which they’ll then turn around and use as justification for fucking with the electoral process, or just calling them off entirely.

      They’ve been trying to lure “the left” into giving them a casus belli, and since the domestic strategy failed, they are now trying to radicalize foreign actors while leaving the door wide open for these newly minted enemies. It worked for Israel, so they’re trying it here. Venezuela, Cuba, Iran. They will keep going until a fish bites. They need to generate just enough outrage to justify a unilateral dictatorial coup before the midterms. An attack on US soil is the excuse they are fishing for.

    They were ousted for a simple reason: Each was involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

    And like the CI-12 unit, several senior officials were ousted or reassigned because of their involvement in Trump-related investigations, sources say. The removals have cost the Justice Department and FBI decades of combined experience in identifying the types of threats that sources say could appear in the wake of Operation Epic Fury.

      Totally normal, to fire all your good investigators because they were investigating the President’s many crimes, and find you’re left with no good investigators.

    Don’t need actual intelligence when the pedo regime just makes shit up based on protecting their pedo leader.

    He’s still mad about his “look” in the men’s hockey locker room thinking “Holy Jesus! Even I think I look like a desperate wannabe”.

    This is what accepting “unknown unknowns” as justification for war 20+ years ago would always inevitably lead to…

    Intentional ignorance of terrorist activities because any attack would be worth the justification to go to war.

    What if something happpens in American soil? This is really dangerous. Do they want a reason for martial law or 9/11 unity? But on what cost?

      I’m reasonably confident that’s precisely what their plan is, and they’ll use it as a justification to call off the elections or something similarly insane.

      The Horst Wessel strategy failed, so now they are trying Israel’s 10/7 strategy. Leave the door open, aid the enemy, look the other way, and hope they inflict enough damage and horror to justify any manner of atrocity in response.

        The difference is that 9/11 was a surprise, this wouldn’t be. This is the result of MAGA incompetence, and if we get attacked as a result, MAGA will take the blame.

      At the cost of a few thousand American peasants’ lives and one cancelled midterm election. It’s a sacrifice Trump’s prepared to make.

        Nobody is cancelling Midterms, unless some state wants to kiss Trump’s ass that much. Abbot needs to be Senator, or he’s out of a job, do you think he’s going to cancel Texas elections? Do you think California or NY or Illinois is going to cancel their elections just because Trump said so?

        The real problem is going to be forcing Trump, Johnson, and the rest of the MAGA government to accept the new Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. They’ll flat-out refuse to accept the results of races they don’t like.
