GMail, like Apple, has specific enhanced security programs available for Politically Exposed Persons: https://landing.google.com/intl/en_in/advancedprotection/ The fact the Director of the FBI did not avail himself of this just reiterates how incompetent he is, in addition to being corrupt as heck.

Was that landing page written by Google India team !

Not sure what difference the nationality of the copywriters makes…

obligatory - that first famous private server was done because someone wanted a blackberry like Obama had, and was told no by NSA. Man that BB keyboard was good.

I’ve been using a Clicks case since the early days and have personally loved every second of it but it’s definitely an acquired taste. Let us know how you find it.

I'm sorry but nothing can ever be more embarrassing for that man who wrote this book to get that job https://www.amazon.com/Plot-Against-King-Kash-Patel/dp/19555... What an absolute clown But far more seriously, imagine the danger he has put this country into by firing so many critical people, some specifically and uniquely for Iran and Middle-East defense Let's hope we don't get another 9/11 in the next 1000 days be…

> Let's hope we don't get another 9/11 in the next 1000 days because they are completely unprepared and won't ever see it coming, maybe even on purpose Why would anyone bother to attack us now? This entire administration has done more to make The US weak and vulnerable than any outside attacker could have hoped to accomplish. They can just sit back and watch rome burn

Gone are the days of the strong silent type running the roles of high power in the government. He is a real embarrassment and I feel sorry for his mother.

> I feel sorry for his mother. In all likelihood his upbringing is what made him this way.

You think so? Peers, in my experience, have an even greater impact, especially between the ages of 10 and 25.

Iran... if you're listening... We'd love to see all of those Epstein files.

Is this a reference to https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-asked-russia-to-... > "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press," Trump said in a July 27, 2016 news conference.

Haha - yes exactly.

I don't know if this is an irony thing I'm not getting, but we know they had untracked access to data they shouldn't have (violating data access rules and orders from a judge), and there is a whistleblower accusation that the data was retained and some DOGE staffers were at least talking with other groups who could use the data. Meanwhile how would Hunter Biden, not a government employee nor having access to governme…

“Probably” sources please. We know for a fact that unvetted jerks(“big balls” and so on) had access thanks to Donald Trump.
