Pentagon confidential info leaker Jack Teixeira gets plea deal: admits releasing military docs

Pretty boy Jack Teixeira, a traitor who leaked classified military information on the Russia-Ukrainian war, copped a plea deal after admitting what he did, and will be sentenced to 192 months in prison. This had been one of the most damning security breaches in years and he is lucky to receive such a light sentence.

Teixeira, 22, was a Massachusetts Air National guardsman and looked spiffy in his orange prison jumpsuit
and shackles as he shuffled into court. He waved to his family before proceedings proceeded,  according to a Washington Post reporter on X.

The scumbag pleaded guilty to all six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information against him — charges that could have slapped him with 720 months in prison.

 

He was arrested in April 2023 for [at the time] allegedly abusing his security clearance to post top-secret Pentagon documents on the gaming app Discord, according to court documents reviewed by The New York Post.

Some of the documents this weasel released to the general public was  detailed intelligence assessments of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, showing "how the equipment would be transferred, and how the equipment would be used upon receipt," a federal indictment shows.

As part of Teixeira’s plea deal, the former guardsman agreed to accept a prison sentence of between 11 and 16 years and eight months. A federal judge will ultimately decide how much time he gets, according to ABC News, but with this current "hate on America" atmosphere, it's more likely to be closer to 11 years than 16.

Teixiera’s deal with prosecutors also means he will be charged a $50,000 fine and face three years of supervised release once he gets out of federal prison.

He was also ordered to have a debrief with members of the Department of Defense and the Justice Department and to return any national security documents that may still be in his possession, according to the court documents.

Additionally, he agreed “that he has a continuing legal obligation to refrain from the unauthorized oral or written disclosure of classified information, or information relating to the national defense,” the plea deal reads, so WikiLeaks can forget about contacting him in the future.

In exchange, federal prosecutors said they would not charge Teixera with additional crimes under the Espionage Act, so he's getting off easy.

Teixeira  enlisted in the US Air National Guard in 2019 — and despite being a low-level airman, for some crazy reason he was granted top-secret security clearance in 2021, according to the DOJ.

During that time, Teixeira worked as a cyber transport systems journeyman for the 102nd Intelligence Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, at Otis Air National Guard Base in Cape Cod, where he performed his treasonous behavior.

By December, 15 members of the 102nd Intelligence Wing, including his former unit commander, were also disciplined for failing to supervise him and neglecting to inform authorities about his espionage-like behavior.

Teixeira's AF Unit Temporarily Loses its Intel Mission

US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall along with AF Chief of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown, answered questions posed by the Senate Appropriations Committee of the Air Force about Airman First Class Jack Teixeira regarding his charge of leaking sensitive, classified information to Discord. 

Usually the questions focus by the committee deals with budgetary issues, but not this time.

Chairman Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) asked Kendall and Brown, “How could this guardsman take this information and distribute it electronically for weeks, if not months, and nobody knew about it?” This was the same question being asked since the leak was discovered. 

This low-level, 21-year-old Airman was somehow privy to sensitive documents and the question is 'why' and who was responsible for what he sees.

From the Associated Press:

For top secret information across the military, there’s supposed to be accountable control officers who are responsible for recording active top secret documents and ensuring they have been either properly secured or disposed of, such as through a shredder or by burning them.

And, the intelligence unit to which Teixeira was assigned “is not currently performing its assigned intelligence mission,” according to a statement from the Air Force.

Pending further review, “The 102nd Intelligence Wing is not currently performing its assigned intelligence mission. The mission has been temporarily reassigned to other organizations within the Air Force,” the service said in a statement to The Associated Press.

In addition, the Air Force is conducting a service-wide review of how each command handles classified information, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown told members of subcommittee.

Brown seemed to downplay the notion that there was a systemwide problem or even a unit-wide problem, saying:

“He had access to some aspects based on his job as a cyber administrator. He took advantage of that access.

However, Kendall told Congress that he has directed the Air Force Inspector General to look at “anything associated with this leak that could have gone wrong” at the 102nd Intelligence Wing. That’s in addition to a military-wide review ordered by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and an investigation by the House Armed Services Committee into the matter.

So this is not over.

MA Air National Guardsman, the kid with top secret clearance because why?

Boston -- The Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, Jack Teixeira is in federal custody and will face a judge Friday. The 21-year-old enlisted young man is being charged under the Espionage Act for allegedly sharing classified military documents on an online gaming forum. 

Homeland security so called expert questions Teixeira's access to classified documents

"We talk a lot about what we classify. Once it's classified, we now need to start talking about who has access to it," former Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Juliette Kayyem said, as she questioned the military's oversight and Teixeira's access to sensitive information.

Teixeira is an Airman 1st Class in the Guard's 102nd Intelligence Wing with an E-3 ranking, meaning he is very low in the military hierarchy and had very little time in the military. 

"Someone had confidence in him, that possibly they did a background check," Kayyem said. "Why are they not capturing this really weird behavior online?"

WBZ asked that question directly to Army intelligence officer Lt. Col. Paul Lushenko, the Deputy Director of Cornell's Tech Policy Institute.

"There's any number of ways this E-3 in the Air Force at 21-years-old could have gathered this information. Potentially deceiving his authorities to gain access to information in classified spaces," Lushenko said, which implies his authorities are idiots.

Attorney General Merrick Garland described the alleged traitor's behavior as bravado not ideology, despite sharing information about the Ukraine war and other top national security issues. This is because Attorney General Merrick Garland is quick to excuse behavior that smacks of anti-Americanism and award behavior that supports the left's agenda.

"We know that there is a whistleblower mentality with people like Edward Snowden. Regardless of that this is a violation of national law," Lushenko said, in what may seem like a minimization of traitorous behavior.

Teixeira being arrested

Sources say Teixeira will remain in FBI custody Thursday night and will make an appearance in federal court in Boston Friday.

Meanwhile, Teixeira's arrest begs the question as to how this low man on the totem pole could have such high-level access to highly classified material. For example, he leaked critical information about the war in Ukraine and Chinese relations which he posted on a chat app called Discord.

Garland said that Teixeira is being investigated for the "alleged unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information."

"It is treason," former Bush 43 chief speechwriter Marc Thiessen told "The Story" on Thursday, "The idea that a 21-year-old kid can expose sources and methods of how we spy, how we have penetrated the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, because apparently we've exposed the fact we know they have a new hypersonic missile that can reach the United States, that they exposed our penetration of the Russian Defense Ministry, that could affect the war in Ukraine. I mean, the incompetence is stunning.

"And it wasn't, unlike Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning, it wasn't ideological," Thiessen added. "It was some kid trying to show off to his friends in a gaming chat room and has literally affected global national security by doing so. How this happens is just beyond me."

Sen. Tim Scott, (R-SC), told "America Reports" the leak is a "massive, catastrophic occurrence that should never have happened."

"We're talking about imperiling likely American lives," Scott said. "We're talking about weakening our relationship with our allies, emboldening the strength of our adversaries and revealing plans about attacks and coordination for Ukraine and other allies."

The big question is who vets these people who have such sensitive access? Joe Biden?

First Gender Dysphoric Army Officer Revealed To Be A Russian Spy

Where's Bernie Sanders?

The US Army's first officer with gender dysphoria has been indicted for trying to pass medical information to Russia as a way of helping their lunatic dictator Vladimir Putin's attempted takeover of Ukraine.

A grand jury came to the conclusion that Jamie Lee Henry, who is a Major in the Army, a female with gender dysphoria, and her wife Anna Gabrielian committed conspiracy and illegally disclosed “individually identifiable health information.” The indictment was unsealed on Thursday after the two were arrested.

BREAKING: First openly trans Army officer charged in plot to give U.S. military medical info to Russians to help in war against Ukraine – https://t.co/apHT1vYazs pic.twitter.com/AmJ6jMmEfr

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) September 29, 2022

The loving mentally ill couple allegedly met with the UC, who they believed to be associated with the Russian government but was actually an undercover FBI agent. They met in the UC's hotel room where Henry explained to the UC that she [who believes she's a 'he'] was "committed" to assisting Russia. Gabrielian told the UC that, while Henry knew of her interaction with the Russian Embassy, she never mentioned Henry's name to the Russian Embassy. Gabrielian want to ensure that Henry would have plausible denial of her actions.

During the meeting Henry explained to the UC that she was committed to assisting Russia and tried to volunteer with the Russian Army after the Russians invaded Ukraine, but Russia wanted people with "combat experience" and she had none.

 Henry also said, “the way I am viewing what is going on in Ukraine now, is that the United States is using Ukrainians as a proxy for their own hatred toward Russia.” 

Then the two married women allegedly offered to provide the UC with private medical records from the US Army and Medical Institution to help the Russian government.

Anna Gabrielian: in the female role

During the same meeting with the undercover FBI agent, Gabrielian demanded that if she were put at significant risk of arrest, she wanted her and Henry’s children to, “have a nice flight to Turkey to go on vacation because I don’t want to end in jail here with my kids being hostages over my head.” 

Henry also indicated that she was concerned about passing a background check for her security clearance, telling the UC, “I don’t want to know your name . . . because I want plausible deniability too. In a security clearance situation they want to know names and people and all this stuff.”

Both women are doctors at Johns Hopkins University but the institution has since cleaned up its website and removed any mention of Gabrielian.

The indictment by a federal grand jury charging Gabrielian, 36, and her "husband" Jamie Lee Henry, 39, both of Rockville, MD, with conspiracy and for disclosure of individually identifiable health information, related to their attempts to assist Russia in connection with Ukraine was returned on Sept. 28, 2022.

It's clear that we live in a woke society today, but perhaps it would be wise if the military would stop affirming people's mental illnesses. That should be a no-brainer but it isn't. The idea that people can be so mentally disturbed that they actually believe they are the opposite sex and seek to cosmetically change the appearance of their genitals and otherwise mutilate their bodies, should be grounds for denying highly classified security clearances.

As it stands now, the loving couple could face a long stretch in the slammer and hopefully they will. But if it comes to that, you can almost put money on the idea that this administration will excuse their traitorous behavior.

Henry being the first gender dysphoric officer in the US Army probably won’t be something the transgender lobby takes credit for any more.

Russia refuses to take our woke general's calls

Our Anal Retentive look when Mommy was angry at us

They don't call, they don't write. What's with those Russians anyway; they refuse to take Gen. Mark Milley's calls and he's the freaking chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. On the other hand, the Russians aren't taking any of our calls by U.S. officials.

Perhaps Milley can use the Chinese as a go-between with Russia. They probably like him because he's the guy who told them not to worry if former President Trump "got crazy." He said that he would step in to protect them--that's the kind of person this traitorous piece of work is. So with Communist China confident that Milley is on their side, maybe they would do him the favor and drop a dime for him because the Russians don't seem to want to deal with this loser.

An account of Milley’s behavior was described in the book “Peril” by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. Just four days before the 2020 election,  Milley reportedly called Gen. Li Zuocheng, his Chinese counterpart, to assure him that “If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

In other words, if we're going to attack China [which was not going to happen under Trump] this a-hole was going to warn him in advance so that China could wipe destroy the attackers. It's amazing Milley wasn't shot for treason.

Former Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller called Milley’s behavior “disgraceful,” which is a generous take of the event. [H/T Fox News]

“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest-ranking military officer whose sole role is providing military-specific advice to the president, and by law is prohibited from exercising executive authority to command forces,” Miller had told Fox News.

“The chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense, not through the Chairman,” Miller said.

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby, another woke weasel told told Fox’s America’s Newsroom on Thursday that in these sensitive times, top Russian military officials keep rebuffing U.S. attempts to communicate with them, and that's not nice.

“We think communications with the Russians is important,” Kirby said, as if this was ground-breaking news. “Particularly now – in fact, now more than ever – to be able to communicate with our Russian counterparts and make sure we can convey our continued concerns about the manner in which they’re prosecuting this unprovoked war.

“We have tried on numerous occasions to connect Secretary [of Defense Lloyd] Austin with his counterpart [defense minister Sergei Shoigu]; Chairman Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has also tried to connect with his counterpart [Valery Garasimov]. We’ve made multiple attempts here, but they have not answered up, they’ve declined to take these calls.

“Now I will say, it’s not like we don’t have any communication with the Russians – We could do that through our embassy, we have a defense attaché in Moscow, we have a deconfliction line, of course, that we’re using – it’s not so much for normal comms – but in order to deconflict, especially in that airspace as you get closer to NATO’s eastern flank.

“So there are vehicles – we still have military-to-military communications with the Russians — but at the senior levels, where we think it’s really important, particularly right now, that’s not happening. And it’s not happening because the Russians don’t seem to be interested.”

It isn't that they are not interested; it's that they are flipping our top officials off.

Now with Biden and his motor-mouth that says things which constantly need to be fixed by his staff, there are worries about the use of nuclear weapons. Regardless of what Kirby spouts, the fact that our links with Russia are cut off between top military personnel is very worrisome. 

Finally, if Milley is somehow able to communicate with Russia, hopefully he won't try to dictate policy to them--we already have an incompetent to do that.

Navy engineer pleads guilty to selling submarine secret intel

A nuclear engineer in the US Navy has pleaded guilty Monday whereby he tried to pass information on American nuclear-powered submarines to an undercover FBI agent he thought was a representative of a foreign government. Oops.

Jonathan Toebbe, 43, appeared in federal court in Martinsburg, WV and pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to communicate restricted data. Rather than being shot by a firing squad, Toebbe will only be sentenced from 12 to 17 years in prison.

The scumbag and his lovely wife, Diana, were arrested last October after prosecutors said he abused his access to top secret government information which he sold details on repeated occasions regarding the design elements and performance characteristics of the stealth Virginia-class submarines, aka: SSN-774 class, or boomer. 

This sub is nuclear powered cruise missile fast attack and the latest model not only uses stealth, but also incorporates intelligence gathering, and the latest in weapons systems technology. It is also designed to kick enemy submarines' asses.

Toebbe acknowledged during the plea hearing to conspiring to pass classified information to a foreign government in exchange for money with the intent to “injure the United States,” and neither he nor his wife still will be shot for treason.

“Yes, your honor,” Toebbe said when asked if he considered himself guilty. 

According to the FBI, his scheme started in April 2020, when Toebbe sent a package of Navy documents to a foreign government writing that he was interested in selling the secret operations manuals, performance reports and other sensitive information to that country. The FBI got their hands on that package last December through its legal attaché office in the unnamed country. 

A months-long undercover operation insued. An agent posing as a representative of the foreign country made contact with the Toebbe and agreed to pay thousands in cryptocurrency for the information Toebbe was selling.

His wife was accused as being a lookout at prearranged "dead-drop" locations where he deposited memory cards containing the top secret information that would clearly compromise our military ability that would cause Americans to die in war. Toebbe concealed the memory cards in objects like chewing gum wrappers and a peanut butter sandwich. 

Diana Toebbe pleaded not guilty and her case is pending.

The country to which Jonathan Toebbe was looking to sell the information has not been identified in court documents and was not disclosed in court during the plea hearing Monday, but it probably wasn't Canada, eh.

Toebbe, who as part of his job had a top-secret security clearance, agreed as part of the plea deal to help federal officials with locating all classified information in his possession, as well as the roughly $100,000 in cryptocurrency that was paid to him by the FBI.

FBI agents who searched the couple’s Annapolis, Maryland, home found a trash bag of shredded documents, thousands of dollars in cash, valid children’s passports and a “go-bag” containing a USB flash drive and latex gloves.

NSA leaker Reality Winner released from the slammer

Her arms are buffed--she spent a lot of time in the gym

Reality Winner who had been jailed in 2018 for leaking classified NSA documents to the legacy media has been released from prison due to good behavior. By good behavior they mean she has not shivved anyone in the shower room nor leaked any additional secrets that would put American people in danger.

“I am thrilled to announce that Reality Winner has been released from prison,” said civil rights lawyer Alison Grinter, in a statement circulated on social media. “She is still in custody in the residential reentry process, but we are relieved and hopeful.”

Perhaps now she can land her own show on CNN or MSNBC.

According to Grinter, Winner was scheduled for release at the end of November but her early release was based on her good behavior in which no one died of whom the public is aware.

A U.S. Air Force veteran [aka "Zoomie"] and former NSA contractor, Winner was arrested in 2017 for sharing classified information about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. She mailed a classified report to The Intercept that appeared to show Russian attempts to hack dozens of local election offices throughout the country and The Intercept subsequently published the material. 

At the time, the integrity of the 2016 election was a highly politicized issue — with jawing back and forth between President Trump and the U.S. intelligence community over the severity of Russian interference efforts.

In 2018, Winner pleaded guilty to one felony count of unauthorized transmission of national defense information and was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison — a record sentence for that type of crime. She served her time at a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas.

Grinter said Monday that there was an ongoing effort to get a presidential pardon for Winner, which based upon President Biden's mental deterioration, should be a "piece of cake as he doesn't know if he's coming or going and has the mental acuity of a can of white paint."

“We’re still absolutely pressing for commutation,” said the attorney. “She should have never spent any of this time in prison. Her suffering was basically to appease one man’s feelings about the legitimacy of his election,” she said, in reference to Trump, whose will still be in the news after the Earth warms up by 20 degrees Fahrenheit and the Green New Deal is fully paid off.

Grinter said that all of the paperwork for a commutation of Winner’s sentence had been filed in January 2020. “You apply and very often never hear anything,” she said while adding that her office would continue to advocate for the pardon.

It's possible that Biden may have forgotten to look on his desk.

As to what Winner will be doing in the near future, Grinter couldn’t say. “Her family really wants privacy right now,” she said, but did not rule out a Comedy News Network gig for the future.

The NY Times "buried" story about John Kerry informing Iran more than 200 times about Israel's covert operations

This is what stupid looks like trying to look
intelligent

The Democratic National Convention's media outlet known as the New York Times, "buried" a bombshell story about John Kerry informing Iran about no less than 200 covert operations by Israel in Syria and is taking criticism for their failure as a journalistic outlet.

The Times piece focuses on leaked audio of Irans Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in which he speaks openly about Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and a U.S.-designated terrorist group. It was 21 paragraphs into the 26 paragraph story that the Times exposed a major revelation.

Specifically that, "Former Secretary of State John Kerry informed him that Israel had attacked Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times, to his astonishment, Mr. Zarif said," Times reporter Farnaz Fassihi wrote.

Uh oh, John. Sounds incriminating, but don't worry, the "big guy" will make sure you're as safe as his own son.

Kerry, a man known for his incompetent dealings with the Iranians over the nuclear deal in which he gave Iran everything they needed to build a nuclear weapon in the future, and Iran gave the United States bupkis, is now Co-President Biden's special climate envoy and atmospheric polluter provider. Previous to this, Kerry served as former President Barack Obama's incompetent Secretary of State from 2013 to 2017, and Teresa Heinz's boy toy.

The US-Iranian nuclear deal was heavily opposed by Israel because they understood how screwed they were going to be in the future under the terms of the deal. But that only made Kerry more determined to get it signed because he harbors no love for Israel as a nation, and no love for the Jews who live there because he is a disgusting, useless bag of wind who proved his dislike of America after he returned from the Vietnam war and protested our nation and this is a run-on sentence because I'm pissed at the guy.

But back to the former newspaper. 

The Times was challenged by conservatives who wanted to know why the Kerry factoid was given less attention than a fly on an elephant. After all, Iran hates the United States as much as it hates Israel, our close ally.

HotAir's Ed Morrissey wrote:

"While no one would be surprised to hear that Israel carries out covert operations against Iran, why in the world would an American Secretary of State pass that information to a regime that leads 'Death to America' protests in its streets? Isn’t this the real news in the US, especially with Kerry now joining another administration as its 'climate change envoy'? 

"At best, this shows that Kerry is enormously and irresponsibly indiscreet; at worst, he’s exposing American intelligence to an enemy in order to attack an ally. And frankly, it looks a lot more like the latter than the former, and a lot more like an actual crime by a high-ranking US government official."

National Review's Jim Geraghty noted the Kerry revelation was "buried fairly deep" in the story. Actually, one could say almost at the very end, where many readers never go.

When Trump withdrew the United States from that crappy deal in 2018, it enraged Kerry along with other Obama leftists. Kerry revealed at the time he had engaged in behind-the-scenes diplomacy with Zarif to try to salvage the agreement.

"Diplomacy?" Maybe he meant treason--giving aid and comfort to our enemies. 

Of course Kerry denies the allegations that he divulged Israel’s covert operations. That shouldn't surprise anyone.

Ex-DIA employee pleads guilty over top-secret leaking to reporters

Henry Kyle Frese, 31, a former employee for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) wasn't very intelligent. He pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to leaking highly classified information to two reporters.

Frese, of Alexandria, Virginia worked as a counterterrorism analyst for the agency from February 2018 to October of last year. He held a top-secret security clearance.

A reporter published eight articles revealing classified material about the capabilities of certain foreign countries' weapons systems, as court papers cited in a press release from the DOJ. The articles contained information from five classified intelligence reports made available only to those DIA staff who were appropriately cleared in the first half of 2018.

The topic covered in all of the reports was outside the scope of Frese’s job duties as an analyst covering counterterrorism, according to the DOJ.

The reporter’s articles contained information derived from the classified intelligence reports, which meant that it had been illegally disclosed and risked damaging national security.

According to court documents, Frese and the reporter lived together from January 2018 to November 2018.

Around April 2018, the reporter introduced Frese to another reporter, whom he began in contact with by telephone and texting, according to the DOJ.

Between mid-2018 and late September 2019, Frese orally transmitted classified information to the first reporter on at least 16 separate occasions, the Justice Department said.

There was no doubt that the scumbag Frese knew the information he was providing was classified at top-secret levels because the documents were visibly labeled as such regarding the level of classification.

The documents Frese accessed were also stored on secure, classified government information systems, according to the DOJ, unlike the documents in which Hillary Clinton used BleachBit and is still on the loose.

On at least 30 separate occasions in 2018, Frese conducted searches on classified government systems for information regarding the classified topics he had discussed with both reporters. On multiple occasions in 2018 and 2019, Frese conducted searches on classified government systems because of specific requests for information.

“Frese violated the trust placed in him by the American people when he disclosed sensitive national security information for personal gain,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers. “He alerted our country’s adversaries to sensitive national defense information, putting the nation’s security at risk."

Frese pleaded guilty to the willful transmission of top-secret national defense information. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison when sentenced in June, which he will hopefully receive and share a cell with an ex-NFL linebacker named Bubba.

Former Paki president Pervez Musharraf sentenced to death

Pervez Musharraf and his fist in beautiful
Islamabad, Pakistan [2013 photo: AP]

Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has been sentenced to death for treason. He was charged in 2013 and found guilty.

Musharraf has been living outside the country and was sentenced in absentia on Tuesday on charges of high treason after his decision to get rid of the nation's constitution and detain judges in 2007.

According to Salman Nadeem, a law officer, he told Reuters that Musharraf was found guilty of Article 6 “for violation of the constitution of Pakistan.” The three-person court ruled in favor of the sentence 2-1.

“For the first time in the history of Pakistan... a military dictator has been punished by a court of law," Hamid Ali Khan, a senior Supreme Court lawyer, said following the verdict. 

The Democrats are hoping to do the same to President Trump but it isn't going so well for them at this time.

Akhtar Shah, one of Musharraf's attorneys, said they will appeal the decision.

“Musharraf today sent me a message, saying he is ready to come to Pakistan but his doctors are not allowing him to travel," Shah told The Associated Press following the ruling. He added that Musharraf offered to give a statement to the court through a video link but the request was denied.

Musharraf has been living in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and is said to be very ill and unlikely to travel home to face the sentence. That would apparently be suicide in more ways than one.

Pakistan and the UAE have no extradition treaty and Emirati authorities are unlikely to arrest the former wannabe dictator. If he were to return, however, Musharraf would have the right to challenge his conviction and sentence in court.

The weasel came to power in 1999 from a coup, much like the Democrats are trying to exercise in the United States. He was forced to relinquish his golden throne in 2008 and was charged  in 2013. But due to his medical condition he was allowed to leave Pakistan on bail in 2016 and seek medical treatment abroad.

In his notorious purge in 2007, Musharraf imposed a state of emergency and placed several key judges under house arrest in the capital, Islamabad, and elsewhere in Pakistan.

However, his move to suspend the constitution backfired, leading to widespread protests by the country's powerful legal community. Musharraf read the writing on the wall and fled the country.

Musharraf was hospitalized again last week in Dubai but the state of his health or a specific reason for this hospitalization has not been made public.

Two weeks ago he released a video message saying he was ready to record his statement about the charge of treason for the court, but said he was unable to travel to Pakistan.

During the video Musharraf looked like crap. He claimed the treason charges were baseless and that he served Pakistan for ten years.

“I have fought for my country,” he says in the video. “This is a case in which I have not been heard and I have been victimized." 

Like the judges he detained.

Mehrene Malik Adam, the secretary-general of Musharraf’s small opposition party All Pakistan Muslim League, also denounced the trial that led to the death sentence, just in case the shoe was ever on the other foot.

“Legal requirements were not met and our lawyers were not given the opportunity to present their case," she said.

Perhaps they were detained.

Chelsea Manning didn't off himself

Lipstick and eyeliner doth not a woman make

Chelsea Manning, the Army traitor who sent WikiLeaks tens of thousands of classified documents, posted two tweets Sunday night hinting that he was contemplating suicide, an unfortunate part of the mental illness suffered by transgender individuals.

Since then, his tweets have been deleted.

Shortly after the tweets, Manning's Twitter handle reported that he is safe and was on the phone with friends.

"Thanks everyone for your concern and please give her some space," the tweet read. (Italics mine.)

Manning lives in Bethesda Maryland and announced his run for U.S. Senate earlier this year. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison for violating the Espionage Act and leaking to WikiLeaks, much like Hillary Clinton and the Weiners violated the Espionage Act and got away with it.

But former President Obama commuted his sentence in his last days in office, because the espionage Manning committed was not against a country Obama really liked anyway.

Manning posted a picture that appeared to depict a person looking down to a street below from atop a building.

"I'm sorry - I tried - I'm sorry I let you all down," he wrote in a now-deleted tweet, reported by The Daily News. "I'm not really cut out for this world - I tried adapting to this world out here but I failed you - I couldn't do this anymore - I can take people I don't know hating me but not my own friends," the mentally ill transgender traitor added. "I tried and I'm sorry about my failure."

That should help him secure more votes on the left for his senate run. They love the intersectionality of a guy like Manning: a transgender traitor to the United States who got his "Get Out of Jail Card" from the first black leftist president.

Manning as he breaks Barack Obama's heart

In Manning's case, he became despondent after a debate on social media with Dawn Ennis, a former ABC News assignment editor, who criticized Manning's remark that "voting won't change anything."

Ennis, who is also a biological man came out as a transgender in 2013, and he posted on Twitter: "I am looking forward to an update on Chelsea's well being in the morning. I truly wish her well. And I expect a new wave of online anger and hate to greet me, too. Be kind to all those who struggle. I myself will work harder to bear that in mind."

Fact: a full 40 percent of transgender individuals will at one point in their life commit suicide or attempt to commit suicide. And it has nothing to do with whether they have begun or completed the transition or if they have been under overt stress from the community. 

Sadly, because society bends over backwards to go along with their delusion, transgender men and women don't receive the psychological intervention they need.

And they call conservatives the 'science deniers'.

Chelsea (nee Bradley) Manning apparently wants to have sex with cops

On the day the country recognizes cops, known as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day Tuesday, convicted spy and Obama hero, Chelsea Manning, went on Twitter to take his love for the police one step further. He wants to have hot transgender sex with all of law enforcement.

"F--k the police," the Manning the man tweeted with the hashtag "DisarmThePolice #WeGotThis."

By "disarm," Mr. Manning probably meant the idea of saying something sweet to sweep cops off their feet. 

When he tweeted the hashtag "#WeGotThis" he probably meant that he has jock itch and so do others he hangs out with.

Then the guy tweeted out a series of unsourced stats having to do with law enforcement. 

Manning released over 700,000 classified government documents on WikiLeaks, the website that is not true friends with President Trump, in spite of his cheering it on when it helped him politically.

Manning, along with his XY chromosomes, was arrested in 2010, convicted in 2013 of 20 counts including Espionage Act violations, theft and computer fraud (like Hillary Clinton) and was cleared by the left of his most serious charge of aiding the enemy. 

Even though he did.

In his final days in office, President Obama granted Manning clemency and he was released from prison last May after only serving 7 years of his 35-year sentence. 

It is not known whether or not the former failed president and Mr. Manning have been seeing each other since his release.

Grassley probes Clinton's 'conflicts of interest' over uranium deal with Russia

Chuck Grassley, a top Republican senator, is probing potential "conflicts of interest" by Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration over the 2010 approval of a uranium deal with a Russian company that provides them with a significant amount of the world's supply of uranium. Now there are new details about donations from "interested parties" and the FBI corruption probe involving employees of the same Russian company that bought up Hillary's 'product.'

"This committee has an obligation to get to the bottom of this issue," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Wednesday using his best 'Susan Collins' impression. This came at the start of a hearing with Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

According to The Hill, the FBI had evidence in 2009 that Russian operatives used kickbacks, bribes and other leftist-ish tactics to expand Moscow's atomic energy footprint in the U.S.--but Obama approved the uranium deal benefitting Moscow in spite of it. 

Grassley released a bunch of letters that he'd fired off last week to ten federal agencies that raised the question of whether the committee that approved the uranium transaction was aware of the FBI probe. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) included Hillary Clinton, who was our incompetent secretary of state at the time.

When asked about the concerns of the hearing, Sessions told Grassley that the Justice Department will take "appropriate" actions, which means they will act concerned and upset then do nothing because our government is corrupt.

"I hear your concerns and they will be reviewed," Sessions said. He did not directly respond to a question from Grassley as to whether the Justice Department also probed whether the Russians compromised the Obama administration to "smooth the way" for the treasonous deal.

"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment on any ongoing investigation," Sessions said, alluding to the notion that an investigation is in full swing.

The deal, previously reported, involved the 2010 approval of a partial sale of Canadian mining company Uranium One to Russia's Rosatom nuclear company. The U.S. government was involved because the sale gave Russia control of a significant portion of the uranium supply in the U.S. and at last look, it turns out that Russia has also received yellow cake uranium which is used in making nuclear bombs.

Grassley noted in his letters that he isn't "convinced" by previous "assurances" that there were no unresolved national security concerns, (such as the Russians making even more nuclear weapons).

Previous reports indicate that figures tied to the transaction gave donations to Bill Clinton and his family foundation. Grassley wrote that he learned additional details about a $500,000 fee Bill Clinton got from a Russian investment bank for a June 2010 speech. The speech was probably worth around $500.00 or less.

I seriously doubt that Hillary or Bill will be prosecuted for this treasonous deal nor will Barack Obama lose a night's sleep over it.

Grassley made it clear he is concerned about the FBI probe into "corruption and extortion" involving employees of a Rosatom subsidiary dating back to 2009, before the 2010 approval.

Something stinks in the woods.

Viet vets still ain't Fonda Jane

Vietnam vets who 'ain't fonda Jane' had to laugh or spit when Jane Fonda commented on the sexually inappropriate and possibly criminal behavior of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Sexual misconduct has been a Hollywood "epidemic" for years, said Fonda to CNBC.

But it's also rampant among powerful men in many industries who are in a position to make or break a career of any woman.

Now that a few brave women came out from the shadows, other more famous women are crawling out from under the rocks by their Hollywood saunas and swimming pools.

Even the brave men of Hollywood have spoken out against Weinstein now that their careers are on solid ground.

So it's Fonda's turn. 

She believes the women who came forward should be applauded for their courage, and people like Weinstein should be held accountable for their behavior--unlike her, when she went to North Vietnam, had photos taken of her by an artillery piece that was used to kill our soldiers.

Fonda's cute face as shell
 is fired at US soldiers

Where were her consequences? 

"I think they should all go to jail, and you know, let's put Bill Cosby in there . . . but the question is not just Hollywood, you know, this is epidemic," Fonda told Tania Bryer of CNBC.

How dare these Hollywood elites lecture us about crime and punishment. How dare they tell us about morality, of right and wrong. How dare they pretend to have moral superiority over those who vote differently than they vote, or believe in God and don't think it's a joke to do so.

Jane Fonda disgusts me. There is nothing she can say that will ever have me feeling anything positive about her existence. I don't believe I'm alone in this disgust for her.

She should have been tried for treason, plain and simple.

Manning leaves prison, gets movie and genital deal

Only in America can a guy commit treason at an historic level, demand to have his male genitalia removed and the area shaped like female genitalia, and get his sentence commuted by the president from 35 years down to less than 7 years, all because he wants to be a she and to deny him that delusion would simply be wrong. 

That's not who we are, said former President Obama, who knows better than anyone else who we are.

So Manning, born Bradley, now goes by the name Chelsea, in honor of Chelsea Clinton and her Howdy Doody dandy face. 

And now that he's out of military prison in Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, the gender confused Manning is getting a movie deal and possibly a dishonorable discharge at week's end, among the many discharges he expects to get in the future, possibly requiring an ointment.

To help things go smoothly for the traitor, a program named "Hugs for Chelsea" raised over $100,000 USD to help him find housing and private health insurance. 

American-hating artists have contributed to a project named Hugs for Chelsea because they weren't creative enough to come up with another name. They are helping raise funds for the traitor's living expenses as a way of saying: "Honey, we don't care if you compromised the lives of Americans and others in the field; we just care that you hate this country and we pray one day you will marry Michael Moore and carry his baby and name it 'Alinsky.'"

Which goes to show how much liberals know about biology.

On Wednesday, Purse Films (the 'r' is silent) announced at the Cannes Film Festival, that they're starting a documentary following Chelsea as he adapts to the world after almost 7 years in the slammer for crimes the American government claims--and many fellow military and former military concur--put American soldiers in harms way. 

And for crimes he admitted to perpetrating, which leftists see as heroic.

The documentary is called XY Chelsea and was on site at Ft. Leavenworth when the POS was set free. "When I first wrote to Chelsea at the military prison in Kansas, she could not be filmed, nor could I communicate with her in any way other than through letters," the film's director and co-delusion-sharer told Rolling Stone as the cameras rolled.

"Regardless, I believed it was imperative to find a creative way to engage with her life and story. Now, with Chelsea emerging from confinement, the journey of this film has reached its most historic and exciting moments."

They didn't say whether the traitor would receive any money for their documentary.

Manning must face the cost of the complete penis and testicle surgery required to make him feel like a female. The process had begun while he was in prison and I can't wait to learn who he hooks up with in the future. 

Hopefully it will be Michael Moore--they deserve each other.

Surgery does not a gender change make. Chromosomes are the determining factor of our gender and we, as a society, are foolishly going along with the transgender delusion that removing the unwanted genitalia and replacing it with what resembles the other one, changes one's gender.

And they call conservatives 'science deniers.'

Delusional man who believes he's a woman tries suicide again

Kansas City, Mo. -- Chelsea Manning, a man whose given name was Bradley which he changed to Chelsea because he has gender identity confusion, tried to off himself for the second unsuccessful time.

Manning is in prison for leaking classified information to WikiLeaks, a website that reveals classified information and compromises countries and people's lives. 

The disgraced transgender soldier had tried to kill himself back in July and was put into solitary confinement as punishment. This made him sad.

His attorneys, Vincent Ward and Chase Strangio gave the news of this suicide attempt to the press but declined to discuss the details of last month's attempt. However, it is safe to say that there is no change in Manning's mental status as he continues to believe he's a woman and would like his penis removed and inverted to provide himself with visual evidence.

Although his lawyers will not discuss the suicide, they did talk about his prison conditions, including a solitary confinement that exacerbated his fragile mental state. 

In an email to the AP, Strangio called 'her' treatment since 'her' 2010 arrest and subsequent time serving a mere 35-year sentence instead of a capital sentence, "demoralizing and destabilizing assaults on [her] health and humanity."

Perhaps if political correctness was avoided and real mental health interventions were tried, he wouldn't try to kill himself. 

But referring to transgender men by the opposite pronoun is an abuse of logic. Biologically, Manning is a man--it is only "on paper" that he's a 'her', and biology is a fact, not delusions.

If Manning thought that he was a rhesus monkey in human flesh, would we treat him like a monkey just to be PC?

Personally, I don't like traitors and I don't give a damn that Manning feels demoralized. Manning was arrested in 2010 and convicted in 2013 for leaking over 700,000 highly classified documents of the military and the State Department to WikiLeaks. 

What he did was seditious and in times of war, the death penalty would have been the punishment.

But insofar as assaulting his health, both physical and mental, I believe there are better interventions than simply going along with a delusion--and that goes for all people who believe they are not the gender that biology has assigned to them. 

Psychotherapy is the best way to go, but even the field of psychology and psychiatry have become politicized and what was once called "gender identification disorder" is now called "gender dysphoria" because the authors of the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th Revision) were pressured into 'normalizing' the delusion of gender indentification confusion.

And politicizing diagnoses is a load of bull.

In spite of that, the ACLU sued the U.S. Department of Defense over its refusal to "treat" Manning's gender dysphoria. They wanted the DoD to pay for the surgically removal of Manning's penis and make it look like a vagina as a way to treat his mental problem.

Did Hillary's private server kill Amiri?

Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri was executed by Iran for treason, specifically, for spying on behalf of the United States. The question is, was Hillary Clinton's email server the source of information that provided Iran with the information?

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark) said on Sunday's "Face the Nation,"  "I'm not going to comment on what he may or may not have done for the United States government, but in the emails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server, there were conversations among her senior advisors about this gentleman." He was referring to Amiri, who gave us information about Iran's nuclear program.

Cotton made the point that this lapse in secrecy proves Clinton is incapable of keeping the country safe, stating: "That goes to show just how reckless and careless her decision was to put that kind of highly classified information on a private server. And I think her judgment is not suited to keep this country safe."

Some think that the email lapses in judgment could hurt Clinton's political presidential chances but they forget that she has the media in her corner and Donald Trump going after her "corner men" rather than her. 

Also, Hillary is a master at obfuscation and bull throwing. Her statements such as how she "short-circuited" in the Chris Wallace interview are being considered as a test for schizophrenia by those who make sense of them.

Iran confirmed Sunday that Amiri had been hanged for treason and was convicted on spying charges in a death sentence case, the Associated Press said.

"This person who had access to the country's secret and classified information had been linked to our hostile and Number One enemy, America, the Great Satan," a spokesman for the Iranian judiciary said, which the Obama administration replied: "They're only kidding."

Amiri's body was returned to his mother. He had rope burns around his neck, to which Ms. Clinton said, "His neck, his shoulders . . . what difference, at this time, does it make?"

It's quite likely that public knowledge about a private server, one that was quite possibly hacked, would reduce the number of people willing to spy for the United States.

In 2009 Amiri went off the radar while on religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia (where women can't drive, according to Sean Hannity). In 2010 he resurfaced in the U.S. where he visited the Pakistani embassy's Iranian interest section and demanded to be sent home to Iran.

Amiri told the media that he was being held against his will by the Saudis and the U.S., but U.S. officials said he was receiving millions of dollars for information regarding Iran's nuclear program. 

Amiri's name came up in Hillary Clinton's emails back in 2010, nine days before he returned to Iran. 

Richard Morningstar, a former State Department special envoy for Eurasian energy, wrote: "We have a diplomatic 'psychological' issue, not a legal one. Our friend has to be given a way out. Our person won't be able to do anything anyway. If he has to leave so be it."

Whether Clinton's private server was hacked or not, the fact that she had one is illegal. And if her defense was that she never sent or received classified emails and that was the only server she had, what was her plan if she needed to send or receive a classified email in the years she worked as Secretary of State?

Bergdahl had mental disorder but like him, it went away

According to investigators, Bowe Bergdahl had a psychiatric disorder when he deserted his Afghanistan post in 2009, Fox News reports.

The disorder, known as Islamophilia, occurs when a person spends inordinate amounts of time reading the Koran and praying five times a day with head to hell and ass to heaven . Strong negative feelings about anyone who does not feel and believe the same way is quite common to the disorder along with a concomitant hatred of Jews and Israel.

In an attempt to sound politically correct, the July 2015 document shows that an Army Sanity Board Evaluation states that Bergdahl suffered from schizotypal personality disorder when he left the post. People exhibiting symptoms from this personality disorder have great difficulty interpreting social cues and can develop a paranoid distrust of others.

As anyone with a background in psychology can tell you, personality disorders (aka Axis II disorders) don't get "cured." They are part of the individual's makeup and do not "go away." Thus, if Bergdahl had it, he still has it.  Axis II disorders do not go away--he needs to have his head examined again.

Bergdahl's lawyers made the documents public to show his desertion was just part of his personality. Well, not really--they want to make us believe that he had a mental disorder.

But when you think about it, orthodox Islam actually is a mental disorder.

You may recall how Bergdahl's hippy dippy daddy spoke in Arabic to his deserter son with Obama standing beside him. Bergdahl's mommy, who might as well been wearing flowers in her hair and Birkenstocks stood by. It was a proud moment in Islamic history.

Obama to Iran: "No problem; keep your secrets. We trust you."

Obama has agreed to allow Iran to not have to answer questions about its history of military nuclear involvement. Now that's what I call a "wheeler-dealer" of a POTUS if you're suicidal and need help to get the job done.

According to an AP report in the Washington Free Beacon, Western officials said that the United States has given up a major concession to Iran on the military front and agree to allow the terrorist theocracy to bypass questions about its past nuclear military work.

"Later, dudes. I'm going for a bike ride."

In spite of the fact that John Kerry, our so-called Secretary of State, has insisted Iran will be required to submit to wide-ranging inspections and disclosures about its military work, we have now learned that his demand was akin to a fresh prison inmate being bitch-slapped by a guy named Mohammed in the exercise yard.

The AP report states:

After a November 2013 interim accord, the Obama administration said a comprehensive solution "would include resolution of questions concerning the possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program."

But those questions won't be answered by the June 30 deadline for a final deal, officials said, echoing an assessment by the U.N. nuclear agency's top official earlier this week. Nevertheless, the officials said an accord remains possible. One senior Western official on Thursday described diplomats as "more likely to get a deal than not," over the next three weeks.

In other words, we need to get a deal before we know what the deal is.

If Obama is simply a fool when it comes to dealing, shame on us for electing him. If he is not a fool when it comes to dealing, then shame on us for not impeaching him for his treasonous plan.

Obama on ISIS: "Baaaaa!" Should he stay or should he go?

"An army of sheep led by a lion is more to be feared than an army of lions led by a sheep" --Alexander the Great

President Obama, as some call him, has been waiting for a military muse to inspire him with a plan to defeat the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. 

The Islamic State has not been waiting for a strategy to defeat the non-Islamic world, they're going at it like an infidel on fire because they have a plan.

So what really gives here? 

Is Obama scared to commit to action? Is he afraid to show American strength against the terror threat? Or does he think America has no right to be the world's bully?

D. All of the above.

As Bill O'Reilly said on the matter, if Obama was merely the CEO of a company, he'd be fired in a heartbeat.

Many people (the ones who have the intelligence not to be liberals) on Twitter and other social media, believe that Obama should to be impeached. In order to know if this can be accomplished, before we all end up praying toward Mecca, we need to understand what it actually takes to impeach a sitting president (or one who doesn't sit but plays golf when he should be leading the country).

The Constitutional Rights Foundation discusses what must be considered to impeach a president, delineating the specific grounds for impeachment and how they are defined. 

In other words, the Constitution states that "treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors" can be sufficient grounds to remove a president from office. However, the House and Senate must find that the president has committed one of these acts.

Treason is defined in Article 3 Section 3 Clause 1: 

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

Simply put, we would need to actually catch Obama giving Aid and Comfort to the enemies of the United States. Thus, we need to ask ourselves, "Does allowing Iran to continue its nuclear program whereby they will likely develop a nuclear bomb qualify as giving aid to the enemy, since it is clear that Iran sees us as their enemy?" I believe it does, but there's more to make the case for impeachment.

The impeachment process starts in the House of Representatives and then goes to the Senate. First, the House Judiciary Committee holds hearings and prepares articles of impeachment if their findings merit that step.

If a majority votes to approve the articles of impeachment, the House votes on them after a vigorous debate, and if they vote to impeach Obama (in this case) he would have to stand trial in the Senate.

To get him out of office, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to convict him whereby he would immediately be removed from the presidency and may also be forbidden to hold government office again.

This process is a political process, not criminal, because Congress does not have the power to impose criminal penalties on Obama. However, criminal courts can take over if Obama is found to be guilty of having committed crimes.

Does the fact that Obama released the Taliban Five constitute treason? Did the release of these known terrorist leaders give aid and comfort to the Taliban? Is the Taliban considered to be the enemy of the United States? If yes to the enemy question, more than two witnesses have seen this take place--in fact, the entire nation is aware of the release.

Another set of questions: 

Was there a connection between the Muslim Brotherhood and the 911 attacks in 2001? 

Did President Obama meet with Muslim Brotherhood members in the White House? 

Did President Obama say: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."? 

Does that quote directly oppose the First Amendment of the US Constitution which gives Americans freedom of speech and expression?

Is it the duty of the president to uphold the Constitution and to support our allies, particularly Israel at this time in history? Is that happening or is Obama supporting those leaders who would see the total destruction of Israel?

Anti-Zionists embrace

I think any fair-minded American would conclude that President Obama has not adequately performed the duties of the presidency as required and has even gone to the extent of being seditious, or treasonous. 

If nothing is done to stop ISIS (and sending 450 "trainers" is not really doing anything that will stop them), we will find ourselves confronting them on our own soil. They will not stop with the Middle East because they follow the Koran and believe that the world must submit to Islam. 

It feels like Obama would rather there be an attack on America than admit being wrong. 

That means Obama rules with his ego, not with America's security and interests in mind.
