This is a BIG YUGE DEAL
Name names. We damn well deserve to KNOW.
FANTASTIC, CONGRATULATIONS TEAM!!
Look, my divorce took 18 months to complete. I sure as hell don't trust easily. But we got white hats out there working, and they don't want to screw this up. They've got massive computer programs which do nothing but run sims of every conceivable outcome of a million scenarios. I trust them. My ex, not so much.

Why is this internal IC war important? Everything else is tied to it. These people have NOWHERE to go to whistleblow on malfeasance. MAGA needs to include making a level playing field for them. I don't see they can operate without it. Obviously, things are as screwed up as they are because they've been working without a net for years. Thanks, old man Bush.
Who's Dan Meyer? "One of the best whistleblower outlets in the Intelligence Community is being kicked out of the inner circle, if not out of the government entirely. Replacing him won't be a priority for the IC, which has harbored several enemies of whistleblowers for several years. As this administration continues to root out leakers, the situation is only going to get worse."
