I'll never forget one day in September 2018, when David Glawe, our top intelligence official at DHS, testified in a closed-door classified hearing on Capitol Hill about security threats. He told members of Congress that he supported the spy community's public assessment on Russia -- that Moscow had sought to sow discord in the United States in 2016 and had shown a preference for Trump.

Word got back to the President. He called the Homeland Security Secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, that evening and demanded she fire Glawe.

We were astounded. All the man had done was tell the truth. But seemingly consumed with fear about the "collusion" narrative and the Russia investigation, the President was dead set on burying the truth by attempting to purge those who embraced it. After a late-night scramble of phone calls -- and with the help of senior aides at the White House -- we kept the President from tweet-firing the head of DHS intelligence.

CENTCOM Commander on Iraq & Afghanistan drawdowns :
https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2020/ ... aq/168329/

The U.S. is preparing to reduce its troops in Iraq to 3,000, down from 5,200, by the end of this month, the top commander in the Middle East announced Wednesday.

The announcement makes public plans that have been in the works for months, as President Trump has sought to make good on campaign promises to withdraw troops from foreign entanglements before the 2020 election.

Gen. Kenneth “Frank” McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command, told a small group of reporters that the drawdown was possible because Iraqi security forces are increasingly capable of taking on the pockets of ISIS fighters still seeking to reconstitute territory within Iraq. But he cautioned that the Iraqi military isn’t yet sophisticated enough to carry on the fight without U.S. support and that he believed that the United States should maintain a presence in Iraq.

“We’re a little ways away from that from that now, but we’re certainly a lot closer than we were two or three years ago to realizing that goal,” he said, referring to Iraq’s ability to fight ISIS without U.S. help. Although the United States wants to “get smaller over time,” he said later, “I think there’s a place for us in Iraq.”

McKenzie said that the withdrawal won’t change the military’s ability to defend its troops, and that the United States will maintain its Patriot missile defense batteries and short-range defense capabilities at its remaining bases. He also said that even at the reduced troop levels, he has adequate resources to counter Iran. Militia groups loyal to Tehran have continued to launch low-level rocket attacks on U.S. interests in Iraq throughout the summer, but there have been no casualties.

“I continue to believe that Iran has an objective of ejecting the United States from the theater and from the region,” McKenzie said. “They see Iraq as a battleground for that, and frankly I think they have been thwarted in that goal. We have what we need to maintain a rough deterrence against Iran across the theater.”

In part, the withdrawal is possible because the kind of assistance that the Iraqis need now doesn’t require as many U.S. troops, McKenzie said. Iraqi forces “are actually fighting fairly effectively on the ground,” according to McKenzie, but still need help streamlining the logistics of warfighting.

“In order to be able to stand completely alone, you want to be able to produce units from your force generation capacity, you want to be able to feed them intelligence on the ground to direct them to the target you want to hit, you want to be able to supply them in combat, you want to be able to treat them medically — what I call the higher echelons of war,” McKenzie said.

“That’s still where we have more work to do. That’s why it actually takes fewer people to do it. It’ll take perhaps more specialized people as we go forward with that.”

Speaking by phone from the region, McKenzie also said that he has not been ordered to withdraw troops in Afghanistan below a current target of 4,500 troops “by late October.” That level will allow U.S. troops to continue to prevent Al Qaeda or ISIS from gaining a foothold in ungoverned spaces, McKenzie said.

“It’s still my assessment that if you want to keep going down, then we need to see concrete things from the Taliban,” McKenzie said — including a true commitment to an intra-Afghan dialogue, a sustained reduction in violence, and a break with al Qaeda. All of those expectations were laid out in the U.S.-Taliban peace deal inked in early 2020. But so far, McKenzie said, “The Taliban has still not shown conclusively that they’re going to break with Al Qaeda.”

In March, U.S. forces began pulling back from bases across Iraq, turning them over to Iraqi security partners. At the time, Pentagon officials insisted that the base hand-offs were part of a long-planned consolidation that reflected the success of the anti-ISIS fight — not concerns over the ongoing rocket attacks by Iran-linked proxy militias. But McKenzie in August said that the attacks contributed to the decision to consolidate U.S. bases.

“We have not pulled back because of the threat from Iran,” McKenzie said Wednesday. “What we have done is re-posture ourselves to be more effective.”

Hey — what do y’all think about that new secret nuke that Bone Spurs told Woodward about.

Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it?

Not if he didn't disclose any specifics. It's no secret that we always have advanced weapons under development.
There's also been a lot of public discussion about the need to update & modernize our nuc arsenal, particularly with Congress.
Expiring arms control treaties & new weapons from China & Russia also fed the discussion.

Of course dyslexic Petey gator troll boy never bothers to read past the bold face headlines.

The report is that apparently the phones in question would self-wipe if the user entered the wrong password too many times.

Those Deep Staters are sooooo freaking nefarious!!

Even though these guys are lawyers (not programmers/hackers) they somehow figured out a way to program their phones to install the self wipe/password feature.

So then, after being done texting back and forth about some seriously self-incriminating info about Comey, they would then wipe their phones by intentionally using bad passwords. Perfect cover story! These guys are evil geniuses!! And so tech savvy for a bunch of English and poli sci majors!!!

Weismann did it twice! And even Mueller self-wiped!! He probably claims he was just having a senior moments. Brilliant!!!

Presumably Petey ever forgotten his password. It is pretty memorable:

ImaG8trTr0llandam0r0n

P.S. I'm REALLY interested in the follow up story where they talk about how Mueller's merry band of lawyer/hackers managed to wipe all their communications off the government's back up servers from their handsets...

What are the actual probabilities of more than a dozen top Mueller officials all "accidentally" nuking their phones or accidentally putting them in airplane mode, locking them, and "forgetting" their passwords so the DOJ OIG couldn't access and examine them? Negative 100,000%?

What did Woodward say he told him ?
Who cares. You don’t know what he disclosed.
However...there are tapes...
Yes. Until then, Old Admiral doesn’t know what Trump did or didn’t say. Even the publications he cited used “likely”and “probable” as operative words. But Old Admiral is all in.
I read what is in the quotes from Woodward's book that are being reported.
What's in them that you think is specific enough to be classified ?
Where did mention anything about classification? I don’t care. You don’t know what Trump said.
Before you & your TDS wingman butted in, I was replying to this specific question to me from ggait :
So was Trump actually disclosing nuclear bomb secrets, Salty?
You don’t know what he did or did not disclose. All you know is what has been printed. Your references used “likely” and “probably” which are similar to “our best guess”

Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it?
I'm waiting for Popular Mechanics to confirm which one he's talking about.

So was Trump actually disclosing nuclear bomb secrets, Salty?

Or was he just lying and bull shirting about our nukes?
Not if he didn't disclose any specifics. It's no secret that we always have advanced weapons under development.
There's also been a lot of public discussion about the need to update & modernize our nuc arsenal, particularly with Congress.
Expiring arms control treaties & new weapons from China & Russia also fed the discussion.

This was the beginning of my response : Not if he didn't disclose any specifics.
