as a National Security risk for selling America's secrets to our enemies.

With the way things go with that son-of-biscuit-eater always getting away with shit - I'm prepared for this to be some bullshit about Hunter Biden. Or some truth about Michael Flynn or Roger Stone.

I'm hoping it's about Trump though.

in the United States."

Just saw this, turned on the TV expecting speculation about this, and found both CNN and MSNBC covering other, usual stuff.

Reuters: In July, the Justice Department filed charges over a multi-year political operation aimed a spreading Russian propaganda or influencing U.S. elections. In November 2021, the United States imposed Iran-related sanctions over attempts to influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election.


NBC: Garland will speak at 1:30 p.m. ET, and will be joined by Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew G. Olsen and other Justice Department officials.

But I hope it is….

EDIT — I bet it’s about election security and cyberhacking.
