I read up on him today. I’d think he was a plant but plants don’t blatantly show themselves like that. Amongst other things he taped (I’m guessing audio) of conversations with senior FBI leadership.

Gloss's security clearance had been revoked two weeks prior after the FBI found that he had entered a restricted area of the Capitol on January 6 and expressed support for the rioters, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.

Allen's clearance was suspended on January 19 last year and rescinded on May 3 this year, The Washington Post said, after the FBI had discovered what the letter reportedly described as a "sympathy for persons or organizations that advocate, threaten or use force or violence." He is currently suspended without pay

Friend's clearance was withdrawn on Tuesday after refusing to be part of a SWAT team seeking to arrest a January 6 suspect last summer, arguing to supervisors that he saw it as an excessive use of force, according to The New York Times.

are in cognition, judgement, temperament, character, fealty to our form of government, whatever, aside from these betrayals, how could they be fit to perform their regular duties? The wrong stuff.

Also today, 35 of 41 L.A. County Sheriff's Deputies under investigation are required to come in to be examined for Executioner and Bandito gang tattoos. Not that they once were affiliated. The Executioners are reported to operate out of the LASD's Compton Precinct (!) and the Banditos operate out of the LASD's East L.A. Precinct (!)

Boggles the mind.

"...don't know", "... can't recall", ".... can't remember if they did or didn't".
And how MUCH money? Sounds like Kash Patel needs to be subpoenaed.

I don’t think they have a half a brain cell between the two of them. And I’m probably being generous. Roadkill is more intelligent. Seriously.

So who gave him the money. I bet there's a financial crime there (or embarrassing revelation). Almost always is with these guys.
