Credit where credit is due. UndeadFOIA wrote this article, not Taibbi. And it may prove to be a very big deal. The October 7, 2016 DNI/DHS joint release was approved by Obama and, said Jeh Johnson before Congress, “he wanted us to make it.” Whatever documents pertain to it—especially texts & emails about revising the September products—may hold the smoking gun, or at least a lot of smoke, proving Obama was not only aware of, but directing the Trump takedown. Megyn Kelly rolled footage of Jeh Johnson’s testimony about the 10/7/16 joint statement during her first of two recent interviews w Aaron Mate. https://youtu.be/Pg_MXVolA1s
Attny Jeff Childers of Coffee n Covid (Substack) thinks one of the big players has turned States Evidence. That they in fact hid the burn bag and directed Patel to it. Also that all this is being dribbled out in planned released. Go read the whole thing. It's in the Friday edition. Last story of the scroll. GREAT read and deduction. @Matt - you have single handedly restored my faith in a fair press and reporting. Thank you for all of this and Racket too.
I’d like to add that FOIA is bullshit. We the people own every shred of information that the govt produces. Unless it’s classified “top secret” it should all be public and accessible at any time. The govt also has a big problem classifying information. That’s to keep basic correspondence out if the hands of us the citizens. We have allowed our country to be taken over by morons. I’m also not thrilled with our supposed intelligence arm either as they all seem to be corrupt bumbling idiots.
We had spies during the revolution war. I’m sure it was much different during those times as there was a cause. I really don’t see a need for it anymore. They didn’t prevent 911. They were wrong on WMD’s in Iraq. I’d say almost every major situation and/or problem we have had for the last 100 years can be attributed to terrible or made up intelligence.
That picture - Senator Cotton shadowing Tulsi and he put out a statement about helping Kash. He is part of the cabal and will do whatever he can to keep tabs on them. He always pretends to be just another MAGA guy but that he has never been. He is a globalist. His is not there to help.
The Crowdstrike angle seems to be gaining in importance. It should.
Why was the FBI et. al. showing it such deference? This was a matter of national security, what with the involvement of the State Dept, Soros orgs, and many others’ emails being hacked. The DNC shouldn’t even have a say. This whole thing stinks.
My take on this at the time was that since Hillary and the DNC were point blank refusing the FBI access, and Obama did not have the balls for a fight with Hillary (or “didn’t want the optics on his legacy” if you prefer), using Crowdstrike as a proxy was a face saver to avoid a damaging Dem on Dem confrontation.
It should have been obvious to all concerned (and probably was) that Crowdstrike would produce whatever report HRC and the DNC wanted.
Bill Binney on Russiagate, seven days ago. He’s the man who obliterated Crowdstrike’s claim that Russia hacked the DNC. Thank you, Michael88888, for posting. Binney is solid.
Listening now. V good stuff in here. Binney and crew are dying to speak w Tulsi. They don’t think she has the full technical picture. Binney is firm in his position Brennan was behind the Guccifer 2 avatar and was responsible for causing the DNC hack. Binney also said he personally told Trump that Obama was involved. To my ear, Binney intimated he could prove some additional pieces of the puzzle for Tulsi, were he given access. As an aside, the group lamented Matt Taibbi’s “refusal to call Binney” at the time—but Matt has more than redeemed himself in their eyes.
They are particularly concerned that Gabbard completely misapprehends the entire DNC hack aspect. Binney tells the group that the NSA would know definitively who did the DNC download (it was NOT a hack, they insist); and the entire group is practically begging to speak w Tulsi. Bottom line: great discussion well worth your time.
If the Russians out Chinese have the capability to mess with our elections, it stands to reason they would. Given Trump’s love for dictators, it stands to reason they would act to favor his election as well as undermine public trust in the system, a process Trump had already put in motion by claiming that only fraud would prevent him from being elected.
Can you cite one instance where “Trump’s love for dictators” caused him to make an obvious decision in the favor of a dictator to the detriment of the US? Go ahead we’re all waiting!
Great work! What we have here seems to show again that the greater IC, the people who actually collect and analyze intelligence, had seen nothing to indicate anything out the ordinary. Seems that they were completely unaware of the surveillance Brennen, Comey, and Strzok had been running all year to build their own dirt file. Theirs was a private high-level operation to get what they knew they would need to throw the Republican congress off of Hillary's scent trail. Of course, they were doing it for the good of the country.
Maybe it had to do with this person having massive misses in the information provided like the revised downward 8xx,xxx jobs early in 2024 or the overstatement of jobs created close to the presidential election which were promptly revised downward after the election.
The only thing causing a market drop is the Fed under the less than stellar direction of Powell. The stubborn little mule won't budge off his hyping about tariffs raising prices, which hasn't happened yet.
Anyone who took, and understood, their very first course in microeconomics knows that the share of a tax borne by the sellers (in other countries) and buyers (here) is completely ambiguous without knowing which side is most sensitive to price changes. That's microeconomics 101. Never in my life have I heard so much confident bullshit about the effects of a tax (tariffs are a tax). Makes me want to barf.
Moreover, your comment isn't very coherent with today's events. The fired official was someone responsible for labor market reports based on data collected in the past. The tariff news yesterday and today had no effect on that data on the July labor market. So, what's your point?
If you actually believed this, you should have bought a bucket of VIX calls several days ago in anticipation of the tantrum. It's what I did, and I made a tidy sum today. Sometimes you win. But post-dicting market movements isn't knowledge.
To be fair the two reports are consistent. The potential exploits mentioned in the classified reports would be highly detectable. The unclassified reports says no adversary has the ability to execute “widespread and undetectable” attacks.
Matt - you are my hero. God knows where you get the hours in the day to analyse and write so much on this subject. Just a thought - it would be interesting to see what AI makes of all the documents you possess on the subject.
Matt Taibbi is without question the goat. Keep up the incredible work, Matt.
Agree!!

I sure hope he's right. And whoever it is, the person doesn't end up rolled up in a rug.
Matt is fantastic, but credit where it’s due: @UndeadFOIA wrote this article.
Yes, Matt always amplifies his findings.
Just read the Childers work, thank you for the link.

Pretty accurate statement, that! Why do countries always seem to talk themselves into having secret police?
We had spies during the revolution war. I’m sure it was much different during those times as there was a cause. I really don’t see a need for it anymore. They didn’t prevent 911. They were wrong on WMD’s in Iraq. I’d say almost every major situation and/or problem we have had for the last 100 years can be attributed to terrible or made up intelligence.
It’s partly because they branched off into other things besides intelligence. That’s the trouble with the secrecy; there’s no one who can guide them.
That picture - Senator Cotton shadowing Tulsi and he put out a statement about helping Kash. He is part of the cabal and will do whatever he can to keep tabs on them. He always pretends to be just another MAGA guy but that he has never been. He is a globalist. His is not there to help.
UndeadFOIA on Racket News is the team-up we needed!

What are the odds the DNC would leave examination of the servers to an honest firm?
Can we go under 0%?
Didn't the DNC refuse to grant FBI access to them?
My take on this at the time was that since Hillary and the DNC were point blank refusing the FBI access, and Obama did not have the balls for a fight with Hillary (or “didn’t want the optics on his legacy” if you prefer), using Crowdstrike as a proxy was a face saver to avoid a damaging Dem on Dem confrontation.

Russia did not hack the DNC. That is cover for the real story. Seth Rich provided the material to WikiLeaks which then resulted in him being murdered.

The Electoral College elects the President and Vice President.
Ignorance just can't shut itself up. Also, Trump's love for dictators is NOT a given.

Good recap of the whole of Brennan and Clapper’s “thinking”, “argument” and “evidence”.
Matt, your adept reporting on Russiagate shows Americans how totally corrupt our Federal Government is!! We can’t even hold a fair election anymore.
Great work! What we have here seems to show again that the greater IC, the people who actually collect and analyze intelligence, had seen nothing to indicate anything out the ordinary.

Trump fires lead official on economic data as tariffs cause market drop

True they absolutely have not.
Markets drop, markets rise. Funny watching it be attributed to this or that.
Moreover, your comment isn't very coherent with today's events. The fired official was someone responsible for labor market reports based on data collected in the past. The tariff news yesterday and today had no effect on that data on the July labor market. So, what's your point?

What is a “conclusion of exclusion”? Never heard that term before.
To be fair the two reports are consistent. The potential exploits mentioned in the classified reports would be highly detectable. The unclassified reports says no adversary has the ability to execute “widespread and undetectable” attacks.
The criminal case is building against all obamanistas and clintonistas!
