This will be interesting to watch develop. There is a sloppy, hubris to Trump and his cronies. Using Whatsapp, and Signal for top security conversations. Thanks for the article Jack.

Kristine...right? If you think about it, the amount of SLOP that has been present in the bungled operations of Trump world the last DECADE...it's rather INSANE.

Yet...he walks....STILL.

That...more than anything else...may be the craziest part!

And his father in law will simply pardon him. Is treason pardonable? Sedition evidently was.

I watched Malcolm Nance today and the predominance of his show was about this. He said all of the people around Kushner are being listened in on too.The way he described how they can get to you is easy. So the Danes got into GRU and then they got all the stuff about Kushner and the way the money was moved around.The Danes are very good at their craft. This will get more interesting now...And just before elections...It occurred to me that the Dutch may not trust the US at this point in time which may be why they were not sharing this info. Especially since drumpf has been siding with Putin.

Teri...absolutely. It would be unthinkable at this point to think otherwise almost negligent.

When the Dutch found the evidence of that compromise, they piggybacked into the phone themselves. That discovery let the MIVD gain DIRECT access to the phone in early 2018...and from there...they could view the screen whenever Kushner used it.

The author, Matthew Cole, who I have talked to on a couple of occasions as we have some mutual contacts...was intentionally vague on the specific technical mechanism...and for good reason, though...presumably the Dutch leveraged whatever foothold the RUSSIAN IMPLANT had already established....which could have been the smartest play for several reasons.

Trust that this will get MORE interesting as it unfolds...and not less. We can all rest assured of that.

Malcolm described how that process of piggy backing's done and was certain that is what the Danes did. Yes this will be interesting as things go on. Malcolm has 2 other former spy's on his podcast every day, one is from Denmark so we get a lot about the Greenland issue and the other was recently fired by this administration after years working the diplomacy side from an intelligence and was the director . Jacob Kaarbro is the Denmark representative and Dexter Ingram...both have their own substacks. Jacob also covers a lot with Ukraine and Dexter goes into the things former says from years ago as he has a huge collection.

Jack,

Very interesting, but anyone who didn’t think Kushner was as corrupt, as his father-in-law hasn’t been paying attention! As my mother used to say “water meets its own level!” This entire regime is rife with corruption, grifting and every last one of this group is “feathering their nests” while they fleece the country and her citizens! Fingers crossed that Democrats are the majority party in both Houses of Congress and then let the subpoenas fly!!

Christie...your mother had it right!

The Dutch story is the MECHANISM...not the surprise; the surprise would have been finding a CLEAN account.

The really cool thing...that makes this one matter in a rather exciting way (at least for me) is that it’s FINALLY on paper from a source OUTSIDE the family’s control...and that’s the kind of thread a subpoena pulls on. Wait. Scratch that. It's the kind a subpoena...YANKS THE HELL OUT OF.

I'll cross my fingers with you! Appreciate you, as always, Christie.

Intriguing story given the characters involved.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Pamela H...for sure.

I can honestly say some of the best FICTION books ever written...don't hold a candle to what reality has placed before us in the last decade with THIS tribe of maniacs.

Release of a document or photo nerds to be carefully screened for national security implications. That is the only reason I can see that would prevent any evidence from being released.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Steven...I'd say you're probably right on target with that. It will be interesting to see how his lawyers play this going FORWARD.

JHFC….. on a bicycle no less (as a substacker said not long ago)…

Kushner couldn’t get the security clearance until t strong armed in the first term…. have always felt that was very sus…. I’ve always seen JK as about as trustworthy as a cobra that’s about to strike. This bunch would say and do just about anything to make $$. What the actual hell are they all up to? It’s beginning to look like the US is being stripped for parts and our rusted hulk will be all that’s left for resurrection. This hurts….

Thanks, Jack. I hope this story breaks big in the next few days…. Ppl need to have the info before they vote….

You have explained this so well. I have a better understanding. I have been questioning for ages why Jared Kushner has anything to do with the US, our government, or dealings with foreign leaders!!! He is a citizen like the rest of us and yet is just flown around the world making deals and decisions about us for his and Trump's own pockets, certainly not for us. Why is he anywhere involved in peace talks?? It is outrageous and irresponsible. I have suspected illegal, unethical, and corrupt deals being made. Congress does nothing! Hopefully something will come from this and all can be held accountable. I am convinced there is much to be uncovered!!

Hmmn...the return of Pegasus; only this time it's not Macron...
