The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/13/2024): 3:00pm- Drone Crash in Hillsborough, New Jersey? Mike Deak of USA Today reports: “At about 8:34 p.m. Thursday, township police said in a press release, officers went to the parking lot of Lowe's where someone reported they had seen drones in the air and one had struck the nearby high-tension lines and crashed into a field…At about 7:30 a.m. Friday, the Millstone Valley Fire Department deployed its drones over the area and the Somerset County Hazardous Material Unit searched the area, again with negative results.” Ultimately, “no drone was recovered after emergency personnel searched the area.” You can read the full article here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/local/somerset-county/2024/12/13/drone-crash-nj-hillsborough-reports-unconfirmed/76962421007/ 3:15pm- On Thursday, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told the press: “our investigation was unable to corroborate any of the reports about the mysterious drone sightings.” In response, New Jersey Assemblyman called Kirby “an idiot.” U.S. Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) went on a nighttime patrol and on Friday morning released a statement explaining: “It's hard for people to feel secure when there are unexplained drones flying overhead and they're not getting answers they need from the federal investigation.” Why isn't the federal government doing more to solve this mystery—or are they just lying about what they know? 3:35pm- Listeners call into the show and react to the mystery drones flying over New Jersey.

We examine the lies in a Manhattan Courtroom, the lies of omission and the lies of substance in single variable analysis, and the lies revealed by a new Justice Inspector General report released that CONTINUE to vindicate the Suspendables claims for the last 2 years. _______________________________________________________________ Visit https://www.youtube.com/@CatholicVote for more content Check out BETWEEN THE LINES on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJRcly498cM BOOK: https://store.catholicvote.org/products/for-god-country-sanity Use PROMO CODE "KYLE" at these sites: http://PatriotCoolers.com/ (Tumblers & Coolers) http://The-Suspendables.com (Show Merch) http://MyPillow.com/Kyle (Pillows/Towels/Bedding) https://matthatjerky.com/kyle (premium Beef Jerky)

We could not avoid President Biden's trip to Europe this week. He made news (but only a little progress) on cybersecurity at every stop. Nick Weaver and I dig into the President's consultations with Vladimir Putin, which featured veiled threats and a modest agreement on some sort of continuing consultations on protecting critical infrastructure. Jordan Schneider sums up the G7 and NATO statements aligning with U.S. criticisms of China. And our newest contributor, Michael Ellis, critiques the EU-U.S. consultations on technology, which featured a complete lack of U.S. resolve on getting an outcome on transatlantic data flows that would preserve US intelligence capabilities. Michael also recaps the latest fallout from the Colonial Pipeline ransomware shutdown—new regulatory initiatives from TSA and a lot of bipartisan regulatory proposals in Congress. I note the very unusual (or, maybe, all too usual) meaning given to “bipartisanship” on Capitol Hill. Nick is not exactly mourning the multiple hits now being suffered by ransomware insurers, from unexpected losses to the ultimate in concentrated loss – gangs that hack the insurer first and then systematically extort all its ransomware insurance customers. Jordan sums up China's new data security law. He suggests that, despite the popular reporting on the law, which emphasizes the government control narrative, the motive for the law may be closer to the motive for data protection laws in the West—consumer suspicion over how private data is being used. I'm less convinced, but we have a nice discussion of how bureaucratic imperatives and competition work in the Peoples Republic of China. Michael and Nick dig into the White Paper on FISA applications published by the outgoing chairman of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. Notably, in my mind, the White Paper does not cast doubt on the Justice Department's rebuttal to a Justice Inspector General's report suggesting that the FISA process is riddled with error. The paper also calls urgently for renewal of the expired FISA section 215 authority and suggests several constructive changes to the FISA paperwork flow. In quick hits, Michael brings us up to date on the FCC's contribution to technology decoupling from China: a unanimous vote to exclude Chinese companies from the U.S. telecom infrastructure and a Fifth Circuit decision upholding its decision to exclude Chinese companies from subsidized purchases by U.S. telecom carriers. And Jordan reminds us just how much progress China has made in exploring space. And more!

On this edition of Parallax Views, in late January 2021 it was reported by such legacy media outlets as Reuters, The New York Times, and The Washington Post that Enrique Tarrio, a leader of the far-right Proud Boys, had acted as an informant for both local and federal law enforcement from 2012-2014. Tarrio was arrested in Washington, D.C. on January 4th, just two days prior to the now infamous January 6th storming of the Capitol carried about by pro-Trump elements like QAnon and "Stop the Steal", on a destruction of property charge. This, however, was not the Cuban-American Proud Boy leader's first arrest and, indeed, Tarrio has prior arrest and convictions to his name dating back to 2004. Based on transcripts from a 2015 federal court hearing obtained by the new agency Reuters, journalist Aram Roston reported: "In the Miami hearing, a federal prosecutor, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and Tarrio’s own lawyer described his undercover work and said he had helped authorities prosecute more than a dozen people in various cases involving drugs, gambling and human smuggling." Tarrio has denied acting as an informant for law enforcement. But, given the evidence, it would appear that Tarrio's denials contradict the reality. Although his cooperation with federal law enforcement predates the January 6th Capitol siege, does Tarrio's work as an informant raise questions about how the FBI operates its confidential sources? Ret. FBI Special Agent Coleen Rowley, most known for her whistleblowing in relation to 9/11 intelligence failures culminating in her testifying before the Senate and 9/11 Commission and appearing on the cover of TIME magazine, joins us to discuss what she refers to as "problematic issues of operating confidential sources" in light of these revelations about Enrique Tarrio as outlined in her recent op-ed "Curiouser and Curiouser: The Proud Boys’ Leader as a ‘Prolific’ Law Enforcement Confidential Source". In this conversation we discuss a number of issues related to the broader problem of how confidential sources are used in the FBI including:- J. Edgard Hoover, COINTELPRO, and the FBI targeting of feminist and civil rights groups; the fall-out the FBI faced over the Church Committee investigation into these matters; Rowley's insight into these matters as someone who began working for the FBI around the time of the Church Committee fallout- The infamous case of Whitey Bulger, the Irish-American Boston organized crime boss who also acted as an informant for federal law enforcement- The motivations of confidential sources; the "Good Citizen" category; the problem of confidential sources that don't fit the "Good Citizen" category (which Coleen argues is most cases)- The story of Lindley DeVecchio, Coleen's former boss, who acted as the handler for mob informants; DeVecchio was responsible for Colombo crime family capo Gregory Scarpa- The Department of Justice Inspector General 2005 study and 2019 audit that reveal the problems of how informants are operated by federal law enforcement; the incentives for informants and problems that arise from that - Investigative journalist Trevor Aaronson's "The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Maufactured War on Terrorism" and how federal agencies benefit from these post-911/War on Terror operations involving confidential sources- Is there adequate control or oversight with regards to the use of these confidential sources and informants by the FBI?- The possibility for reform- And much, much more!
On March 15, 2020, certain authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) will expire absent renewal by Congress. The authorities set to expire fall into three categories: 1) the business records provision (often referred to as Section 215) that allows for collection of call detail records, among other things; 2) roving wiretaps; and 3) the lone wolf provision. On March 11, the House passed a compromise bill that the Senate will soon consider. However, several Republican Senators have already urged President Trump to veto the reauthorization bill, should it pass both chambers.This decision point comes at a time of heightened scrutiny, given the recent Department of Justice Inspector General report addressing the FBI's use of FISA while investigating the 2016 presidential election and a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review order expressing "serious concerns about the accuracy and completeness" of the FBI's FISA applications in that case. Please join us for a timely discussion of the mechanics and processes of FISA, recent controversies, and issues Congress will consider as it determines whether and how to renew these key provisions.Featuring:- Ashley Baker, Director of Public Policy, Committee for Justice- Nathan Leamer, Vice President of Public Affairs, Targeted VictoryVisit our website – RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.

For this special edition of the Cyberlaw Podcast, we've convened a panel of experts on intelligence and surveillance legal matters. We take a look at the Department of Justice Inspector General's report on the FBI's use of FISA applications – and the many errors in those applications. We also touch on FBI Director Wray's response, as well as a public order issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. We wrap up with thoughts on how to resolve some of the issues identified by the IG's report and suggestions for improving the FISA process. Joining me on the panel: Bob Litt, former general counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. David Kris, who wrote the book on FISA and previously headed the DOJ's National Security Division, which is responsible for FISA warrants. Bobby Chesney of the University of Texas School of Law, as well as a founder of Lawfare and co-host of the National Security Law Podcast. The Cyberlaw Podcast is going on hiatus for the holidays.

As the impeachment inquiry continues with committee counsels testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, former Republican counsel for the House Oversight Committee during the impeachment of President Clinton, Barbara Comstock, joins "The Investigation." Comstock, a former Congresswoman from Virginia and now an ABC News contributor, reveals what she called "an odd thing for Republicans to be saying" when it comes to the impeachment process and shares her theory as to why she believes the American public is not engaged: "We know how the movie ends, and we know the final chapter won't be until next November." Then, co-hosts Chris Vlasto and John Santucci discuss ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas' exclusive interview with FBI Director Wray, as all eyes turn to the FBI with the release of the Department of Justice Inspector General's report into the origins of the Russia investigation.

This week, more conspiracy theories were debunked, as a draft of the Department of Justice Inspector General report found the FBI did not try to place spies in Trump's 2016 campaign, nor did Obama wiretap him. Trump allies continued to push the conspiracy that Ukraine, not Russia, may have interfered in 2016, despite it being thoroughly and widely disproved. Trump sought to portray strength — firing the Navy Secretary and tweeting an image of his face super-imposed on the body of Sylvester Stallone in “Rocky.” He told supporters in Florida how hard he was working for them — as opposed to Democrats' focus on impeachment — then clandestinely flew to Afghanistan on Thanksgiving to visit U.S. troops under false pretenses. The House Judiciary Committee announced the start of impeachment hearings next week, as Trump and his team weighed whether to participate. The committee did not rule out an article related to the Mueller probe. Reporting revealed the September 9 call between Trump and Gordon Sondland — central in Trump's defense of his actions towards Ukraine — may not have happened, and Rudy Giuliani faces a broad probe of possible criminal activity.

This was a remarkable week in impeachment hearings as nine witnesses testified. By week's end, it was clear that there was a coordinated effort that included multiple senior Trump officials “in the loop” seeking investigations from Ukraine in exchange for aid and a White House visit — an effort that went against U.S. national security interests. Trump and his allies' defense, claiming Ukrainian corruption and 2016 interference, was also debunked, leaving by week end their only defense to be lack of a firsthand witness to Trump directing the activities. The impeachment hearings were stunning as, with each passing day, it became all the more clear how irreverently and irresponsibly Trump has acted, yet how unwilling the Republican Party was to stand up to him and hold him accountable. Another conspiracy theory was also debunked as a draft of the Department of Justice Inspector General found there was no political bias by senior FBI officials against Trump in getting the wiretap of Carter Page. Trump took an unusual trip to Walter Reed Medical Center early in the week that led to speculation of a health issue, and spent the rest of the week ranting and bullying about impeachment, mostly on Twitter and Fox News, and largely avoiding the press. Trump and his allies continued to attack and discredit impeachment witnesses publicly, and blocked testimony from senior officials and subpoenaed documents from the State Department. Trump continued his battle with the U.S. military, flexing his commander in chief might to overturn their rules. As the week came to end, and Congress left for Thanksgiving break, it was unclear where the impeachment investigation would head next. The House Intelligence Committee started writing its report, but did not rule out further hearings, and the Judiciary Committee also considered follow up on information gleaned from the Roger Stone trial related to Trump's written testimony in the Mueller probe.

This month we also did a short section on the Russian investigation. Something that has been less and less in the news compared to it having dominated the media for over two years. Do you think that the Russia investigations are hurting the country or helping the country? 64% hurting, an uptick. 36%, helping. What should happen to President Trump for his actions? Impeach, 36%. Censured, 21%. No action, 42%. Again, we're seeing impeachment trend down from 40 to 36%. Do you think evidence of collusion was found? That has now dropped to 37%, it was as high as 41. Do you think that there's evidence of obstruction? That's at 42%. So, nothing that approaches the magic 50% mark, let alone the two thirds required to convict in the Senate.Meanwhile, do you think bias against Trump and the FBI played a role in launching the investigations? That has jumped up to 55%, and although it was trending down for a number of months, those who favor a special counsel to investigate the FBI are back up to 66%. And 81% favor releasing of all information. And, if the Department of Justice Inspector General finds that there was wrongdoing in the start of this investigation, 54% believe that those responsible should face justice, including possibly going to jail. Right, and 15% say the findings of the Trump, Russia probe should be thrown out, given that the start was tainted. Both, 22%. So you're looking here at substantial majorities, if the Inspector General report says that there were improprieties in the creation of this investigation, who believe that there should be real accountability, including people possibly going to jail.Given the Mueller report, do you think we should turn the page on investigations of President Trump? Yes, 55% say turn the page. If Democrats launched scores of new investigations, would you be more likely to vote for them? 26. Less likely, 35. No effect, 39. And this is kind of an important question, do you think Democrats in Congress are doing too much, too little, or about right to investigate Donald Trump? Too much, 41. Too little, 32. 27, about right. So, you could read that question any which way you want, you could say about right, and too little is 59, or you can say too much and about right is 68. But I think you are seeing here tremendous investigation fatigue, as you see these numbers ... as these numbers trending, and most importantly, I think that question turn the page got 55% now. So, we'll see, we're all waiting for the final report by the Inspector General, and that will either close the book on everything most likely, or it'll open up a whole series of new investigations and possible prosecutions. And at the same time, the Democrats are continuing down the road of impeachment, but they're not picking up any steam for it. Even Tom Steyer, the Democratic candidate, looks like he won't be making it to the next round despite having ... in the presidential debates, despite having spent substantial amounts of his own money on TV advertising.

In today's episode, Cliff and I focus most of our discussion on the Dept. of Justice Inspector General report about James Comey having broken FBI rules, but not the law, when he informed the country that Donald Trump was a traitorous felon. We also talk about General Mattis pulling a Mueller and not just coming out clean with his criticism of Donald Trump -- everything from these guys has to be in Yoda-like code, rather than calling Trump and the Republicans out directly. And finally, we discuss an ongoing staff purge in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office, and why we think it shows she knows what she's doing. This is a short excerpt of the hour and 12 minute long episode.

Sean Davis is our guest for the 86th episode. He’s a co-founder of The Federalist and a former aide to U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK). In this conversation, we preview the forthcoming U.S. Department of Justice Inspector General report, which is independently examining how DOJ and the FBI conducted the Clinton email investigation.

Remember a couple of months ago when Hillary was calling herself a progressive? Now she’s trying to get conservative support at the “grassroots.” Time makes fools of us all--but especially the liberal hacks, who were fully on the Clinton Progressive Train, and are now silent about her rightward tack. And a new Department of Justice Inspector General report finds that private prisons are less safe and less secure than their government-run counterparts. We speak with activist and author James Kilgore on the problems with for-profit incarceration and the broader social ill of mass incarceration.Finally, the Two Sams discuss the latest report on intelligence doctoring to paint the war against the Islamic State in a more positive light. This time, the investigation came from Congress. And, it’s Friday, so we throw someone in the Garbage Can.
