DHS screws up again

[someoneyouknow]

Critical, classified information, regarding a simulated biological attack on the Super Bowl were left in the backseat pocket of a plane and recovered by CNN. Due to operational security, CNN withheld disclosing this massive breach of security and incompetence by the con artist administration until after the game was over.

A CNN employee discovered copies of them, along with other sensitive DHS material, in the seat-back pocket of a commercial plane. The reports were accompanied by the travel itinerary and boarding pass of the government scientist in charge of BioWatch, the DHS program that conducted the anthrax drills in preparation for Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis.

The reports were based on exercises designed to evaluate the ability of public health, law enforcement and emergency management officials to engage in a coordinated response were a biological attack to be carried out in Minneapolis on Super Bowl Sunday.

The exercises identified several areas for improvement, including the problem that "some local law enforcement and emergency management agencies possess only a cursory knowledge of the BioWatch program and its mission."​

I don't believe a word of it.

In addition to requesting that CNN not publish prior to the Super Bowl, DHS officials argued that disclosure of some material contained in the draft reports could threaten national security, regardless of when it was published.

Hopefully chairman Nunes doesn't get hold of the documents.

You going to bring that up in every thread? The more y'all overreact to that, the more I think that it is more damaging to Democrats and Progressive than it is to Trump.

From your article...

CNN was unable to verify who left the documents on the plane. The travel itinerary and boarding pass accompanying the documents was in the name of Michael V. Walter.

Walter, a microbiologist, has been the program manager of BioWatch since 2009, according to his LinkedIn profile.

2009? That means Mr. Walter became program director during the Obama presidency.

 

[Rightguide]

Lots of Obama holdovers in government to make Trump, and the next President after him look bad.

 

[Hypoxia]

2009? That means Mr. Walter became program director during the Obama presidency.

Unless Dubya appointed him before 20 January 2009. You might check on that if it worries you.

Mr. Walter became program director in September 2009.

That makes him an Obama hire.

Just another example of the incompetent Mr. O.

[EternalFantasies]

All it means OP is that what you call "incompetent con artist administration" is actually the opposite and doing it's job.

 

[Luk]

Lots of Obama holdovers in government to make Trump, and the next President after him look bad.

Name them. Each one of them.

You're kinda fucked because as soon as you do name them, you admit that 45 didn't drain the swamp, as promised, to you and the other gullible dipshits.

There are two operative questions when i see something like this
1. How in the hell information like what's describe end up in such a place?
2. How the hell CNN got a hold of it because they usually seem to lean anti Trump?

con artist - a person who deceives other people by making them believe something false

It was a catchy political pitch and a chance to calm nerves about his dramatic and complicated plan to bring historic change to America’s health insurance system.

"If you like your health care plan, you can keep it," President Barack Obama said -- many times -- of his landmark new law.

Boiling down the complicated health care law to a soundbite proved treacherous, even for its promoter-in-chief. Obama and his team made matters worse, suggesting they had been misunderstood all along. The stunning political uproar led to this: a rare presidential apology.

For all of these reasons, PolitiFact has named "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it," the Lie of the Year for 2013. Readers in a separate online poll overwhelmingly agreed with the choice. (PolitiFact first announced its selection on CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper.)

Obamacare...monthly insurance premiums equal to or greater than a mortgage payment & annual family deductibles equal to or greater than the cost of a used car.

This.

It was left in the seat pocket of a passenger plane?

And CNN was the party who dug into the seat pocket to "discover" the docs?

Yeah, riiiiiiight.

Flight crews go over the plane after each trip to remove left behind belongings and send them to lost & found. This includes checking all the overhead bins, under seats, and any seat "pockets" and the lap tables. So CNN either did it for them while deplaning thereby committing theft, or....?

 

[jaF0]

Perhaps it was acquired elsewhere and planted by a 'Rumper to cause disruption?

I've found things in the seat pockets all the time.

The seat pocket plant is a cover story. The agent wanted the story to leak. It's often the best way to spur action.

I don't believe a word of it.

I still don't believe a word of it.

 

[jaF0]

Problem is, we're at a point where it's hard to believe most anything from the media or the Gubmint. The truth has been obfuscated to the point nobody even knows what it is.

 

[Bray123]

Standard procedure is for each version of operational orders, briefings etc to all have a very slight variation. Maybe a typo or a paragraph break etc.

If its genuine the security folks will know straight away whose it is. Or they bloody well should.

 

[Sean]

I've found things in the seat pockets all the time.

How dare you question Tim's statement!

Like 4est_4est_Gump before you, you are an icon of epistemic closure.

Think in terms of conspiracies. From what evil does this furore distract us? Who benefits? Who aims the laser dot for the kittehs to chase? Which layer of the disinfo onion is peeled back? Where is the money to follow?
