Summary
FBI Director Kash Patel, appointed by Donald Trump despite lacking law enforcement experience, has frustrated current and former FBI and DOJ officials with what they see as a lack of seriousness and professionalism.
Patel skipped or scaled back key briefings and ended routine field office meetings, citing leaks.
Critics cite a leadership void, public relations stunts, and excessive travel including multiple trips unrelated to work.
Patel also briefly led the ATF but was quietly replaced after being absent.
All the evidence I’ve seen to date is shaky at best. The strongest evidence is how brazenly they have acted since taking office, indicating the type of confidence you’d expect after already successfully subverting democracy, but they’ve been already successfully subverted democracy for decades with the endless stream of disinformation and propaganda… I still haven’t recovered from the migrant caravans or Obamas tan suit.
Read the first and last link. The Russian Tail is obvious. There’s your smoking guns.
I would but I’ve never heard of either of those sources. Do you have any reputable sources? I would love to have some ammo to use against some MAGA relatives.
The first one is a newspaper in San Diego I believe the author linked the academic sources in the article, and the last link is a non profit foundation that was set up by a cybersecurity veteran, a data analyst, and a third academic. I don’t know how to give you better sources than that.
MSM isn’t going to breathe a word of this. They’ll get taken off the air.
Russia hacked in multiple times, mapped things out and coordinated attacks in swing states. Defcon started doing a whole village for voting machines after the first time and very few municipalities fixed anything. There still hasn’t been a legitimate recount anywhere there should have been.
Oh I’m well aware. I’ve read dozens of articles over 2 decades about the horrors of American e-voting. Every election since their intro could have already been used for fraud at some level, all the way to federal.
The problem is that there isn’t some smoking gun to prove it, and there probably never will be. It’s better to focus on the anti-democratic flaws in the entire system, especially oligarch/corporate control over politics through bribery — sorry, “donations” — and all other forms of corruption. Those are already proven.
I think what we really need, short of direct action, is journalism. Journalists could find a smoking gun. There should be several. There should be physical ballots, records of destruction or missing ballots.
