  1. #Trump has pressured admin ofcls to aggressively hunt for those leaking information. But he has gone further than trying to stop the flow of unauthorized information; he has labeled “treasonous” #media coverage that is critical of the #US handling of the #war in #Iran & the shortages of munitions.

    The leaks have intensified an atmosphere of deep distrust & paranoia inside the #Pentagon, one that current & fmr ofcls say has been fostered by #Defense Sec #Hegseth.

  2. “I’ve never seen polygraphs employed this broadly or at this seniority level,” said Rear Adm. Donald J. Guter, a retired top judge advocate general for the Navy. “In my experience, it’s unprecedented.”

    The move comes as multiple news organizations have revealed details about how the #war with #Iran has drained munition stockpiles & reported on concerns inside the admin about the strategic direction of the conflict.

    …The scope of the investigation is without parallel. Mass #polygraph tests have never been administered to the top ranks of the #US #military in modern history.

  12. The investigators asked #military officers & civilian employees on the #JointStaff if they disclosed classified information to members of the #press, & about whether they provided information about diminished US munitions stocks.

    The #polygraph tests were conducted in August after a flurry of news reports detailed diminished stocks of crucial munitions, including of long-range missiles & Patriot interceptors.

  22. Citing an “unprecedented lowering of standards,” the career #ICE ofcl said that “systemic breakdowns” had allowed applicants to receive job offers before they had passed basic fingerprint‼️, identity or credit checks in a preliminary vetting process. Political appointees had unjustly skirted background investigations & received #NationalSecurity eligibility.

  27. …Despite the seriousness of the accusations against #EricSwalwell, many aspects of the FBI’s request to the Federal #AirMarshal Service were unusual, current & former officials said. For one thing, the #FBI does not usually investigate #SexualAssault. For another, asking air marshals to obtain a subject’s electronic passcodes is considered out of the ordinary even for traditional subjects of #surveillance.…

  28. But #EricSwalwell is an enemy of sorts to the #Trump admin. For years, the #Democrat has been one of Trump’s most visible political antagonists, having served as a manager in the president’s second #impeachment trial. Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller has called Swalwell a “scumbag” on national TV. And #FBI Dir #KashPatel …described him as one of the “corrupt actors of the first order” in his 2023 book, Government Gangsters.

  29. The #FBI had asked the Federal #AirMarshal Service to covertly monitor #EricSwalwell on board & to watch him use his electronic devices, to see whether officers could visually ascertain his passcodes‼️, acc/to records obtained not previously reported. Air marshals are trained to blend in with other passengers & quietly keep tabs on their subjects, who are usually suspected terrorists or potential hijackers, NOT politicians.

    The #AirMarshals Keeping Watch On #EricSwalwell

    The #FBI made a highly irregular request for #surveillance of one #Trump’s most visible critics.

    On august 8, former Rep Eric Swalwell boarded a United Airlines flight from Frankfurt, Germany, to Washington, DC. He didn’t know it, but federal agents were watching him throughout the 9-hr trip.

  31. That summary was sent to Air Force One, even as #Trump told Fox News that same day that he was “not going to get involved” in the case.

    #SecretService agents tailed #JamesComey’s car from North Carolina to Virginia. The “# 3 guy at DOJ ‘wanted to ping’” Comey’s phone without a traditional #warrant, according to the filing, a request that’s typically used only when an emergency — a dangerous, fleeing suspect, for instance — requires immediate action.

  32. Internal government documents turned over in the case provide one of the most glaring examples to date of the degree to which #Trump now directs federal law enforcement actions & uses agencies to target his perceived enemies.

    The #SecretService questioned #JamesComey about the 2025 photograph of seashells he posted, & an agent received a “direct request” from Trump to forward him details from that interview, acc/to the documents.

  33. In contrast, the admin left untouched hundreds of additional #energy #grants in #states that were represented by #Republicans & had backed #Trump in the last election, EVEN THOUGH the Energy Dept had recommended canceling them, the federal government confirmed in the July #court filing.
