They are members of the Proud Boys that flipped in exchange for not getting a long prison term. Individuals in other federal cases, who were embedded in drug busts and who were federal assets, were referred to as "Person-1" in a federal indictment. Why are you so sure? The Justice Department will not say (at least to to me). Have you an "inside" source on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Cole Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Former Philadelphia Police Officer Convicted in Cover-Up U.S. Attorney’s OfficeJanuary 24, 2014 Eastern District of Pennsylvania(215) 861-8200 PHILADELPHIA—Robertito Fontan, 42, a former narcotics officer with the Philadelphia Police Department, was found guilty today of two counts of making false statements to federal investigators concerning his romantic relationship with one of the police department’s confidential informants. In 2003, Fontan recruited Person #1 to become a confidential informant and recommended her as a confidential informant to other law enforcement officers. Several months later, Fontan became intimately involved with Person #1. During their relationship, Fontan gave gifts and money to Person #1. In 2007, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) began investigating Person #1’s former paramour, a suspected drug dealer, and Fontan was assisting with the investigation. In 2008, the FBI began investigating a suspected leak of information in the DEA investigation. As part of the leak investigation, the FBI interviewed Fontan about his intimate relationship with Person #1. The jury found that Fontan lied to agents about his relationship with Person #1 and about giving gifts and money to Person #1. Fontan faces a maximum possible sentence of 10 years in prison. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 28, 2014. The case was investigated by the FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Neuman Leverett. So...in this case a federal confidential informant was identified as Person # 1, although obviously the government knows the ID of the person. On the other hand, right-winger and Jerome Corsi was also identified as Person #1 in a case too convoluted to understand, involving Roger Stone and the Man of La Mancha, Robert Mueller. Corsi, most likely, was not a federal plant, and if so that has never been revealed. However, charges against Corsi mysteriously evaporated, even though prosecutors decided Corsi lied consistently. According to Wikipedia, "In May, 2020, Corsi was caught accidentally emailing a Mueller prosecutor, Aaron Zelinsky, about another case, showing Corsi personally had his contact information in his email, and suggesting he had been working with him directly. Corsi had been attempting to e-mail Vladimir Zelenko, who made exaggerated claims about hydroxychloroquine-antibiotic-zinc cocktails and their alleged efficacy in treating COVID-19 that were not supported by peer-reviewed evidence.[39]" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Cole Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 From the South China Morning Post newspaper, regarding Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan: Alpine Macro: “In the case of any direct armed conflict between China and the US, risk assets could be hammered, with Taiwan and Chinese assets getting hurt particularly badly,” said Chen Zhao, chief global strategist at the Montreal-based research firm. “We believe that the current political backdrop makes a military response from China very likely.” Having issued stern warnings, President Xi Jinping has effectively forced himself into a corner. If Pelosi indeed visits Taiwan, “Xi must take hardcore military actions of significant size or he will risk losing his credibility with the Chinese public, the military and within the [Communist] Party,” he wrote in a report on August 1." ---30--- Well, if we have a nuke war, I extend my good-byes to all. It was fun while it lasted. I imagine communications will be snapped. Pelosi seems a little cavalier about consequences, but then we all have our foibles.

Steve Thomas Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Trump Endorses ‘Eric’ In U.S. Senate Race In Missouri. But There Are 2 Erics. Both Republicans have claimed the former president's endorsement. By Nick Visser Aug 1, 2022 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-endorses-eric-missouri-senate_n_62e85c6ce4b07f8376723cb6 “I trust the Great People of Missouri, on this one, to make up their own minds, much as they did when they gave me landslides victories in the 2016 and 2020 Elections, and I am therefore proud to announce that ERIC has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” The endorsement was so unclear that both Erics claimed Trump’s support moments after the email went out. Now, nobody knows who to vote for. Way to go Donny! Good job! Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thomas Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 House panels: DHS officials interfered in effort to get lost Secret Service texts https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/02/secret-service-texts-jan-6-dhs-interfered-house-committees “Top officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general’s office interfered with efforts to recover erased Secret Service texts from the time of the US Capitol attack and attempted to cover up their actions, two House committees said in a letter on Monday. Taken together, the new revelations appear to show that the chief watchdog for the Secret Service and the DHS took deliberate steps to stop the retrieval of texts it knew were missing, and then sought to hide the fact that it had decided not to pursue that evidence. The inspector general’s office had initially sought to retrieve the lost texts from across the DHS – spanning both the Secret Service as well as the former DHS secretary Chad Wolf and his deputy, Ken Cuccinelli – as part of its internal review into January 6. But six weeks after the inspector general’s office first requested Secret Service communications from the time of the Capitol attack, that effort was shut down by Thomas Kait, the deputy inspector general for inspections and evaluations, the House committees said.” “The House committees also disclosed they had learned that Kait and other senior officials manipulated a memo, authored on 4 February 2022, that originally criticized the DHS for refusing to cooperate with its investigation and emphasized the need to review certain texts. By the time that Kait and other senior officials had finished with the memo, the House committee said, mentions about the erased texts from the Secret Service or the DHS secretary had been removed and instead praised the agency for its response to the internal review. The memo went from being a stinging rebuke that said “most DHS components have not provided the requested information” to saying “we received a timely and consolidated response from each component”, the House committees said.” The cover-up always turns out to be worse than the crime.
