The Washington Post reported that the sweep of the Harvard graduates house and the seizure of her devices followed the papers investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials. Natanson was reportedly told she was not the focus of the investigation.
The warrant said law enforcement was investigating Aurelio Perez-Lugones, a Maryland-based systems administrator with a top secret security clearance, who is accused of improperly accessing classified intelligence reports and removing them from secure facilities, with documents later found in his lunchbox and basement, according to an FBI affidavit.
Kash Patels tenure as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been marked by high-profile gaffes. Patel, whom the Daily Beast has nicknamed Keystone Kash for his bungling performance, was criticized for rushing to social media to tout his agencys work on tracking down a person of interest in the Charlie Kirk shooting prematurely.
After the shooting, Patel reportedly refused to get off a plane without an FBI raid jacket and ended up wearing one nabbed from a female officer. He reportedly decorated it with patches from other agents.

Expect Homeland Security and ICE to be breathing down the neck of citizens standing in line to vote - in only blue states of course.

(21,874 posts)Eventually, America will get sick of this. I have no idea what it's going to take. I have no idea how many of the 90,000,000 people who sat on their ass last November plan to do the same this November.
And of course, 74 million Kamala Harris voters is no small thing. I don't mean to imply that it is.
77 million Trump voters, on the other hand, IS a problem. And we will probably never know exactly why Trump "thanked" Musk for "being so good with election system computers."
If enough of the 90,000,000 have a change of heart and VOTE, the 77 million Trump voters aren't as significant.
If they don't turn out in record numbers, we do have a problem.
And I have no intention of buying into "What if Trump cancels the midterms?" He's trolled America about doing exactly that. I'm just not going to spend the next 9 months living in my head when it comes to that "possibility." I plan to vote.
