Rumor - Bongino to run Secret Service.

That sounds like fanfic. Why would Bongino leave being the heir apparent for Rush to take a government service role like that?

I could see him advising, but not leaving his budding media gig.

Listened to part of Bongino's podcast yesterday...He emphasized he had talked to no one in the Trump organization. And then he said something that surprised me... "If the man asks, you go."

The guy has the #3 podcast of late. It's been top ten for quite some time. His radio program is carried by 350+ stations. I still can't see him walking away from it.

I did learn how he gets some of his SS info...Sean Curran is a long-time friend of Bongino's. Curran heads Trump's detail.

Curran may be the pick.

Don't know a thing about her but she at least has the qualifications on paper.

Tom - is AG an elected position in FL? Or is she a DeSantis appointee?

Florida AG is elected. She won two elections, serving 2011-2019. She seems smart, worked against human trafficking in Qatar, and media savvy leveraging FoxNews... she is being rewarded for supporting Trump during his false election fraud claims and other trials. So she's better than Gaetz for sure, but still a bit of a sycophant.

[jon-nyc]

I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, she was representing him so of course she was supporting his claims.

Seems leagues more qualified that Beavis Butthead Gaetz.

[George K]

Bessent it is for SecTres.

Russ Vought for OMB.

[Horace]

Rucker interviewed Vought a few days ago. A man of apparent faith and principle.

[George K]

Surgeon General: Dr. Janette Nesheiwat

[George K]

Marty Makary for FDA.

[jon-nyc]

Don't know anything about him, but I like his CV.

He was a huge voice when COVID broke out. He questioned a lot of the policies (shutdowns, etc) and mandates of vaccinations for young people.

Re Hogseth:

[Horace]

Graham is right that he’s being tried by the Dem public by press interpretations of a police report. I heard Megyn Kelly go over the report today in detail and it reeks of a woman who had regrets the morning after. The police offered her an opportunity to have a recorded conversation with Hegseth to see if he admitted to anything, but she refused to try. She probably didn’t want such a conversation to be open to the interpretation of objective listeners, and she probably knew he wouldn’t admit anything.

[jon-nyc]

He was totally cleared in the investigation, he says.

So why not release her from the NDA?

Because the NDA is bought and paid for, and because the salacious story is only going to be given oxygen by such maneuvers? Her allegations are in the police report anyway, what else is there to say?

[jon-nyc]

Excellent reason to release her from the NDA and show the public he has nothing to hide.

Or… does he???

You can’t actually think an innocent guy would be well advised to lift the NDA. I guess you must be trolling. But if you actually believe that, please take us through the advantageous scenario for him that takes place after the NDA is lifted.

[jon-nyc]

Of course it’s trolling.

How often do you pay people off and get them to sign an NDA when you’ve done nothing wrong?

[jon-nyc]

Remember how Larry actually believed that Trump didn’t have sex with Stormy Daniels, he was just rolled over in an extortion scheme? I think he went as far as saying it was ‘proven’ that they didn’t have sex.

If you believe it, then answer my question. Describe the advantageous scenario that plays out after he lifts the NDA. Assume he is innocent.

You think there have never been settlements and NDAs offered by innocent accused people?

Sorry I don’t mean to add to the backlog of questions you won’t answer. I will stop there.
