The incredible people of Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, who want desperately to get rid of Thomas Massie, the Worst “Republican” Congressman we have had in many years, gave us a mandate to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The person that will help us do the job, and do it right, is Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, Fifth Generation Kentucky Farmer, and American Hero, Captain Ed Gallrein, a true Patriot. Today, Ed, who also happens to be central casting, officially filed to run for Congress. I have heard that there are other Candidates exploring a run for this seat, but I am asking all MAGA Warriors to rally behind Captain Ed Gallrein, the Candidate who is, far and away, best positioned to DEFEAT Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the beautiful Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won BIG, ALL THREE TIMES.
A Brave Combat Veteran, Ed knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. He is a big fan of our recent attack on Nicolas Maduro, the Dictator of Venezuela. Additionally, as a very successful Businessman, Ed knows how to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Support our Amazing Farmers and American Agriculture, Unleash American Energy Dominance, and Champion our Nation’s Golden Age. In Congress, he will fight tirelessly to Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.
Captain Ed Gallrein has my Complete and Total Endorsement against “Congressman” Thomas Massie — He only votes AGAINST the Republican Party, making life very easy for the Radical Left. Unlike “lightweight” Congressman Massie, a true hater of Israel, and a totally ineffective LOSER who has failed us so badly, CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET KENTUCKY DOWN!

Trump targeted by four FBI code-named counterintel probes that ensnared hundreds of Americans
Abuse of Power? Director Kash Patel is building a criminal case in one operation, and planning the declassification of two others so Congress can be informed of abuses by previous administrations targeting Trump and hundreds of supporters with lawfare.
resident Donald Trump and his supporters were targeted by four consecutive FBI code-named counterintelligence investigations over the last decade that secretly subjected hundreds of innocent Americans to privacy-invading tactics and essentially treated the man twice elected president as a national security threat for most of the first nine years of his political career, according to interviews and documents reviewed by Just the News.
FBI Director Kash Patel has personally led the effort to review the operations code-named Crossfire Hurricane, Round River, Plasmic Echo and Arctic Frost that stretched from summer 2016 to January 2025, uncovering evidence of a far-reaching dragnet that in some cases may have been predicated on false, misleading or uncorroborated justifications, officials said.
Many of the investigative files were hidden from view, even from most FBI agents, because they were marked "prohibited access" and controlled carefully by FBI leadership.
Patel's search has been aided by whistleblowers inside his agency, a handful of senior bureau executives close to the director and some members of Congress, particularly Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
FBI's work hijacked by politics, invading citizens' privacy
Those who have seen the records told Just the News they chronicle how the FBI's expanded counterterrorism and counterintelligence missions after the Sept, 11, 2001, terrorist attacks eventually became hijacked by politics and led agents to deploy tools meant for terrorists and spies against everyday Americans in a bid to find a way to bring criminal cases against Trump.
One whistleblower this month told the FBI that surveillance and monitoring of Trump figures continued right up to the president’s January 2025 inauguration, according to multiple interviews.
Few inside Trump’s orbit were spared from targeting by their stature: a dozen members of Congress and their staffers, his future chief of staff Susie Wiles, journalists, campaign advisers, defense lawyers, and even Patel himself had their privacy pierced by warrants, wiretaps, FISA surveillance, phone record analysis, FBI assessments, or grand juries.
Many targets and subjects fell under the bureau’s definition of special circumstances targets because they have recognized constitutionally protected privileges – like lawyers, members of Congress, journalists, and political figures.
Even a political consultant turned documentary filmmaker who investigated Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings before joining Trump’s 2024 campaign was recently notified he was targeted in a criminal investigation that only recently was shut down, according to letters between Congress and the FBI reviewed by Just the News.
Michael Caputo had his emails and communications seized in 2023 by a “classified subpoena” issued about two weeks after he joined the Trump campaign and the email account the bureau penetrated “contained correspondence on The Trump Campaign’s private strategies and deliberations,” the correspondence stated.
Patel’s FBI has informed Congress that probe has been shut down. But the question of how so many Americans were targeted remains open.
At least 1,200 people that fall into the categories of special circumstances targets or subject were investigated under assessments by the FBI between 2018 and 2024 during Wray’s tenure, an explosive recent audit report to Congress revealed.

Dhillon: "Criminal charges are indeed possible"
“There is growing evidence that may support a case that the FBI engaged between 2016 and 2025 in a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of Trump and his supporters under the color of government power,” a senior official with direct knowledge of the FBI’s current reviews told Just the News.
cont…
cont…
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon recently told Just the News that criminal charges are indeed possible if federal officials intentionally violated civil liberties in politically weaponized investigations.
"The Department of Justice is at the heart of considering these issues right now, so I can't really talk about the specifics, but in general terms, yes, the Civil Rights Division and the DOJ generally does have the tool of a criminal conspiracy statute for conspiracy against rights," she said. "And this dates back to the start of the Ku Klux Klan."
"I would say all of those things are on the table for lawyers and DOJ officials and others who conspired with them at the state level, state prosecutors, state police and so forth, who conspired to violate civil rights, and it could also include executive branch officials from the first administration who knowingly conspired and orchestrated a violation of federal civil rights," she added
Just the News has confirmed that federal prosecutors lin Miami, led by U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones, are investigating the weaponization of intelligence and law enforcement against Trump and his allies as they build a potential grand conspiracy case spanning 2016, 2020, and 2024.
Evidence in the first and last of the counterintelligence operations is well known and mostly released: Crossfire Hurricane, which probed now-disproven Russia collusion allegations, and Arctic Frost, which looked at Trump’s effort to offer the Senate alternate electors ahead of the 2020 election certification on Jan. 6, 2021.
Documents declassified last year show, among other things, that the Obama administration and its intelligence officials misled Congress and others when claiming that the discredited anti-Trump Steele Dossier was not used in the 2017 U.S. intelligence community assessment on Russian meddling.
The Arctic Frost probe alone targeted nearly 400 conservative groups and individuals associated with Trump, according to evidence recently released by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
But officials said the two middle operations – which are just beginning to be declassified so Congress can be fully read in – may produce some of the most troubling abuses uncovered by Patel and his team and are the focus of ongoing criminal investigations into former FBI and DOJ personnel.
For instance, the Plasmic Echo investigation that explored whether Trump illegally took classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago home after his first term has already turned up evidence that FBI agents believed did not meet the legal standard for a search warrant. But agents raided the president’s home anyway in August 2022 after being overruled by DOJ, according to a bombshell revelation recently from Patel.
“[We] continue to pass versions back and forth after our pause and concern about [probable cause] for any of the locations outlined…” an agent wrote to the team. “What is the guidance for continuing to work on this document without any new information?”
cont…
cont…
Biden directly linked to lawfare against Trump
The Biden White House was also directly linked to the classified documents investigation into Trump, despite its denials, records show. Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland said he “personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant” for the FBI’s unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago.
Patel and a small team of inner circle agents also have found proof that the bureau, under former Director Chris Wray, obtained Patel’s own phone records, as well as those of Wiles, after Trump announced he was running in the 2024 presidential election and reportedly recorded a call between the future White House chief of staff on the pretense that her defense lawyer consented. Wiles’ lawyer has issued a statement adamantly denying he ever consented to such monitoring, raising the possibility false representations were made to a court for phone monitoring and the now infamous raid on Mar-a-Lago.
"If I ever pulled a stunt like that, I wouldn’t – and shouldn’t – have a license to practice law," the unidentified lawyer told Axios. "I’m as shocked as Susie."
Sources told Just the News that the FBI has an intensive criminal probe ongoing and the first decisions on whether indictments are warranted could be made in a few weeks.
Punishment for asking about Biden family's Ukraine exploits
Meanwhile, the Round River investigation may prove the most troubling of all the counterintelligence probes targeting the Trump universe, though at present it remains mostly classified.
Agents only recently discovered the opening memo and files for the probe, which was started in the bureau’s Pittsburgh field office by targeting Trump lawyer and former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani for his efforts to investigate Hunter Biden’s and Joe Biden’s exploits in Ukraine, but it then expanded to look at numerous public figures who spoke out about Biden family corruption concerns.
Early whistleblower evidence from that case has raised grave concerns inside Congress about potential civil liberty violations, specifically that people in that investigation may have been targeted solely by virtue of their speech. Lawmakers fear the standards for who was targeted were simply talking points deemed by FBI counterintelligence to be "Russian disinformation."
In other words, reporters, lawmakers, moviemakers and lawyers who made certain allegations or raised questions about the Bidens’ dealings in Ukraine may have been assessed to be national security threats aligned with Russia worthy of investigation and treated as purveyors of disinformation interfering in elections, sources said.
Sen. Grassley's staff has played a critical role in helping the FBI search for records, passing along information from agency whistleblowers who sought protection from Congress during the Biden years long before Patel took over. One of Grassley's letters in 2022 appears to refer to the Round River operation, without naming it, and raised serious concerns about its constitutionality.
Grassley: "FBI’s false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation"
"The information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI’s receipt and use of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI’s false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation," the senator wrote. "The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their credibility and necessitate this letter.
He added: "Based on allegations, verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation."
cont…
cont…
The files also show the bureau may have targeted the Pittsburgh office as the launching point to impede an effort by then-Attorney General Bill Barr to ask his federal prosecution team in the same city to investigate why an FBI informant report alleging Biden family corruption was not fully investigated when it first came in.
Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., previously told Patel that, in August 2020, “we were provided an unnecessary briefing by the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force that was designed to undermine our investigation into the Biden family.”
Most of the files on Round River, Plasmic Echo, and Arctic Frost were buried from Patel’s view when he arrived in what were known as prohibited access files, a tactic used during the Wray-era of the FBI to shield from view politically sensitive cases inside the bureau’s case management system known as Sentinel.
That left only certain officials aware of their existence, often in hidden files in secure storage areas known as sensitive compartmented information facilities, or SCIFs.
Patel has assigned a small team of agents to hunt for the files and uncover abuses, and he has been assisted greatly by a handful of senior executives who can navigate and find well hidden evidence in the bureau's storage system.
Another complicating factor is that the bureau just lost the man who produced much of the most explosive evidence to Congress over the last 14 months, Congressional Affairs Office Chief Marshall Yates, who was widely popular on Capitol Hill for achieving a level of transparency after years of stonewalled congressional requests, announced he was stepping down.
Deputy Director Andrew Bailey has been taking the lead in organizing the approach going forward, but he ruffled feathers internally and in Congress with comments some took to suggest he was going to slow the amount of damaging information being sent to Congress to thwart demands to fire agents who were involved in abusive investigations.
Bailey allayed those concerns with a memo Friday stating that production of evidence to Congress and to DOJ investigations was “imperative,” according to officials who received or saw the memo.

Prime Day FOMO: Taking Advantage of September’s Spike in Government Spending
Mike Weiland
November 15, 2022
With the U.S. government’s fiscal year ending in September, there is an annual spike in contracts and spending. This increased funding interval represents a unique opportunity for organizations looking for new contracts.
“Prime Day”
Amazon thinks it’s got Prime Day on lock, but those who work on government contracts know that they don’t hold a candle to the kind of “Prime Day” that happens every year on September 30th. Obviously, this is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there is no doubt that August and September demonstrate the biggest spike in government spending by a significant margin. Large portions of this funding are executed on the final day of the government’s fiscal contract year—September 30th.
A few weeks ago, I posted on LinkedIn that we are in the midst of the peak number of RFQs released for the GFY22 buying season, with just under 1,000 new SEWP V opportunities posted that week alone:
I wanted to follow this up with a longer blog post that goes into more detail about why this is happening and how companies can take advantage of it. This glut in funding availability represents a unique opportunity for companies working with government contracts to broker new contracts or increase contract budgets. We’ll get into that more later, though. First, let’s set the table.
What is a “Prime”?
In reality, no one actually refers to September 30th as Prime Day, but the terminology is still relevant. In government contracts, a “prime contractor” works directly with the government and manages subcontractors. They are responsible for overseeing the subcontractor’s work as defined in the contract. Prime contractors hold key positions in their relationship with the government and are the ones held accountable for the delivery of goods and/or services, regardless if they provide them alone or use subcontractors.
There are a lot of hoops to jump through to become a prime contractor, which makes it prohibitive for many companies, especially small-and-mid-sized businesses. The working relationship between a prime company and subcontractors is symbiotic. The prime contractor gets to have control and leverage over the contracts. The subcontractors don’t have to go through the rigorous process of becoming a prime contractor while still having access to government contracts.
The best kept secret in Washington
So, that covers prime contractors. Next, let’s take a look at why there’s such a significant spike in government contracts starting in August and really heating up in September. Something a lot of people probably don’t know is that the U.S. government has a fiscal year that runs from October 1st of one calendar year through September 30th of the next.
cont…
cont…
Like the government, many large business entities run their fiscal year off the standard calendar year January 1st to December 31st because they can plan out budgets in a way that allows them to choose the start and end dates that better align with their revenue and expenses. This means a fiscal year can help present a more accurate picture of a company's financial performance. So, the federal government's fiscal year runs from October 1 of one calendar year through September 30 of the next.
Now, that doesn’t specifically explain why spending suddenly increases so dramatically in the last two months of the government’s fiscal year. For that, we’ll need to take a deeper dive into the parameters around government spending. Any government agency that doesn’t spend all its funds over the course of the fiscal year ends the year with a surplus. From an economics perspective, that should be perceived as a good thing, right? Any company that spends less that it “makes” or is allocated will be seen as efficient, effective, and valuable in the market. However, this is different with the government.
If a government agency doesn't spend its allocated budget funds over the course of the fiscal year, they no longer have access to those funds in the next year. They cannot spend that money past September 30th because it gets reabsorbed back into the national purse. This causes the “use-it-or-lose-it” mentality that drives such an increase in spending in the final two months of the fiscal year. Additionally, agencies are under pressure to spend their full budget because they run the risk of having their budgets cut by Congress the following year. At some level, this is a logical outcome. If an agency was granted a budget of $10, but only spent $8, then it stands to reason that they only needed $8 and will only need $8 moving forward into the next fiscal year.
The loss of their surplus funds, combined with the threat of a decline in future funding, is a recipe for serious fear amongst government agencies. Hence why they hit the panic button in August and September to spend.
While the iron is hot
As I mentioned in my LinkedIn post, there were just under 1,000 new SEWP V opportunities posted that week alone. The peak of opportunity posting happens sometime between the end of August and the middle of September, though there are still thousands of opportunities that get posted all the way to the last few days of the fiscal year that will still be reviewed and awarded before the ‘clock strikes 12’ on September 30th. (This obviously doesn’t include opportunities that are posted with due dates after 9/30 that anticipate using the following year's budgets). At Govly, we’ve worked with our customers to help them land and finalize major contracts right up until 11:59pm on the very last day. There are many companies whose entire yearly revenue goals are hit and exceeded just in September.
To give you a peek behind the curtain into the process of how Govly helps our customers, I’ve invited Kevin Sieve, VP of Sales Operations at ThunderCat Technology, to speak to the “Prime Day” phenomenon from his perspective.
cont…

“September is the busiest time of the year for our sales team. The number of opportunities posted each hour of each day is truly astonishing. This influx of opportunities represents a substantial business opportunity for contractors whose internal systems are set up to handle the volume and are capable of ensuring opportunities aren’t missed. A key component of our sales process is Govly. Govly automates our deal identification process while simultaneously making it easier for the sales team to collaborate internally and with partners.
There’s no doubt in my mind that ThunderCat is poised to take advantage of the government buying season now and into the future. Govly is a big part of how we plan to stay ahead of the competition.”
Talk to us. We can help.
