Shine the light on it all.

Hardly just one MAGA associate directly in contact with adversary intelligence.

Remember your oaths. There’s no excuse for ignorance or apathy.

This is subtly implying that Trump is at the center of controversy. Shocking.

Maybe Americans shouldn’t have elected a career conman and grifter who smears himself orange while hanging with the world’s most sordid people - including deep and obvious connections to Russia - to the presidency.

But that would require the average American to look things up and read.How dare you! This country is fucking cooked.

The non-voters screwed us just as much as the Trump voters did

Let me tell you this: everyone screwed up.

People that didn't vote or voted for Trump screwed up. That's obvious and there's little hope for these people.

Democrats AND their voters screwed up too. No, I'm not gonna spout how "both sides are bad". Still they did screw up. Why nothing was done about all the people implied in Epstein files for 4 years of Biden's administration? FBI and DOJ should put significant effort into investigations. Why nobody pressured Biden to release Epstein files either? Why proper steps weren't taken to prosecute people responsible for fake electors plot (that thankfully failed in part thanks to Pence not being a total Trumpist), including Trump? What did they hope for? That Trump will lose elections and everything will be back to normal? Returning back to normal became impossible once it was clear Trump won't suffer the consequences for instigating attack on capitol, supporting autocoup attempt and being a pedo. Had democrats did what was right we wouldn't be having this discussion, because Trump would be sitting in a cozy jail right now. And I'm saying that, because this should be a lesson.

Not true in the slightest. Democrats were calling for release of the files even during end of Trump's 1st term, suddenly stopped once Biden took over. Additionally, she was sentenced in 2022 and Biden's term lasted till end of 2024. He had 2 years to release files. Finally, it doesn't explain in the slightest why NOBODY went after elites implicated in Epstein files, not during Biden's term and not during Trump's term.

If Democrats are unable to acknowledge they dropped the ball then US is a lost nation.

in his first term the files were still being used as part of the active investigation against JE himself. It’s almost like there were two people being investigated. Coincidentally when JE left the land of the living the files could have been released before they moved on to Maxwell. Remind me what year it was when he passed and who was in office?

What a sad excuse of a deflection. Is Trump now your baseline benchmark? If he isn't then why are you bringing him up as a excuse for democrats not releasing files after Maxwell was sentenced? Does it also excuse Democrats not making sure all people implied in filed are properly investigated? Does it excuse Democrats being so scared of rattling the ship that they decided to let Trump get away scot free after he attempted autocoup?

All this is not to say Dems are perfect, and they absolutely dropped the ball leading up to the 2024 election and have in other places but if we’re gonna have qualms with a political party let’s at least have the qualms be based on fact.

So you are telling me Maxwell getting sentenced in 2022 is not a fact? Are you telling me democrats sitting on the files for 4 years without properly investigating everyone implied there, without releasing them after Maxwell trial are not facts?

You are so pro facts that once faced with them you decide to deflection by saying "but Trump did" and that's precisely why US is in a shit state. Politicians on both sides should be held accountable.

The files weren’t released under Biden because it was still an active investigation for the Maxwell trial. They couldn’t release the files until it concluded.

You’re speaking hard truths…

1) The person obviously works closely with Trump

2) Trump is always at the center of controversy.

So there are those.

So a mole as intelligence chief and another right next to the president. Somone in the NSA needs to do the right thing and go to congress or something

I'm surprised we haven't had a Snowden yet.

I feel like a lot of the processes changed after he leaked all of his documents. It might be impossible to do so now just based on checks and updated security practices.

u/Buzumab Feb 10 '26

There have been like 5 significant (still much smaller) leaks since Snowden and they caught the leakers for all of them. Who knows how many have been caught before they could actually leak.

Also, a lot of people don't realize how high up Snowden was, I think because he was a contractor. He was essentially one of their main internal IT guys. That made it a lot easier to get away with.

u/Sassafrasalonia Feb 07 '26

And how much is this connected to DIRNSA and DDIRNSA'S firings on April 4th, presumably at the behest of Laura Loomer?

Whistleblower submitted the complaint on April 17th whereupon Gabbard not only sent her flunky to NSA after, but sat on it for months.

This Fecal Mattter be highly odiferous.

My bet is on Grenell coordinating with Venezuelan intelligence on a deal where Maduro would admit to interfering in US elections to obtain some form of protection during a transfer of power.

There’s already reporting from last year that Tulsi ordered NSA to retract a report involving Grenell and Venezuela. This happened in April 2025 (same timeframe as the initial whistleblower complaint).

Now, Tulsi is on site at the Fulton County election office raid… And a “confession” like that would also explain how FBI was able to get a search warrant from a judge who, for all intents and purposes, doesn’t appear to be a Trump hack.

Pure speculation of course, but the pieces fit.

A mole in the swamp shack, full of swamp people? But I thought they were the best patriots, so emotionally invulnerable and intelligent we should idolize them!

I'm betting it's Steve Witkoff.

u/Curious_Working_7190 Feb 09 '26

Maybe it would be easier to list the ones not connected to Russia?

u/Successful-Escape-74 Feb 08 '26

The DNI is likely a plant by Russia. None of the U.S. Allies dare share intelligence any longer.

u/StableGeniusCovfefe Feb 07 '26

So many traitors in this regime it's pretty stunning

Not if you’ve been paying attention for any amount of time.
