JUST IN - Trump to appoint Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison and Jensen Huang to the Science and Technology Advisory Board — WSJ

THREAD: (1/13) A foreign-linked influence network has been running coordinated operations against the Trump administration for 22 months. I know it's real because they ran one against me. I was targeted in something I knew was far from organic. This level of media is isolating, unwanted, and unwarranted. There was nobody to help, nobody to jump in and say, this is a false OP and help me. Well, I don’t believe in problems without solutions, so I’ve spent the last few months learning to build programs to utilize publicly available information to prove that this is way bigger than me. This is about creating chaos in the Republican Party. It's about the organized effort to lose Republicans the midterms and subvert President Trump's agenda, and I have the data for you to see 🧵

SOME OF THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM MY INTERVIEW WITH JOE KENT. I decided to provide this summary because the media have either ignored the interview or focused on more trivial bits of the interview without reporting on some of Kent's astonishing statements and misdirection. You can decide for yourself. 1. I pressed Joe Kent on widespread allegations from multiple sources and in multiple news outlets about his leaking of classified information and an investigation that started well before he resigned. He denied leaking classified or confidential information to anyone at any time and said he was unaware of an investigation. 2. Kent denied leaking Charlie Kirk's group texts to Candice Owens, which were given to him in confidence by Andrew Kolvet, despite Kolvet implying otherwise. Kolvet issued his own video stating Kent suggested Kovet release the texts to the public, which he refused to do. Soon thereafter, Owens released them and has obsessively used the texts to suggest Israel assassinated Charlie. 3. Kent accused Israel of starting the 12-day war against Iran and our subsequent bombing of the Iranian nuclear sites. I know for a fact that Israel did not launch that operation without the go-ahead by President Trump. Furthermore, Israel did not force the President to bomb the nuclear sites. President Trump knew exactly what he was doing and made the decision after consulting with his civilian and military advisers. 4. Kent insisted that Israel was going to attack Iran several weeks ago and, again, forced President Trump to launch our current military campaign (in coordination with Israel) against Iran. The President, Marco Rubio, John Radcliffe, and others, all deny it. 5. He insisted that Khamenei wanted a peace deal and had issued a fatwa years ago declaring that Iran would never develop a nuclear weapon. I knew this was as absurd argument and pressed Kent. The President's envoys also contradicted this by the facts, as have others, as there are obvious and plentiful facts of Iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon, manufacture and accumulation of nuclear material, its violation of nuclear agreements, and its clandestine activities surrounding the entire decades' long project. 6. I mentioned Iran had lied about the reach of its ballistic missiles, to include most of Europe, to which Kent said nothing. 7. Kent's obsession with Israel as the aggressor against Iran was apparent throughout the interview. He repeatedly portrayed Iran as the victim, ignoring Iran's myriad acts of terrorism and its establishing, funding, training, and arming of Hezbollah and Hamas, among other things. 8. Kent repeatedly accused Israel of controlling President Trump's decisions respecting Iran, ignoring my repeated mentioned of the myriad examples of Iran's 47-years of acts of terrorism and war against our country, embassies, military installations, military personnel, and assassination attempts against the President and other top administration officials. 9. Kent ignored the repeated declarations by the President that he would not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and repeatedly insisted that Iran was not close to making a nuclear weapon, in direct contradiction of Iran's own representations to Special Envoys Witkoff and Kushner in the final rounds of negotiations before the President ordered the current military actions, as well as CIA Director Radcliffe's sworn testimony and the statements of others in the know. 10. When I asked Kent to name the 18-intelligence agencies that he claims unanimously concluded Iran was not close to having a nuclear weapon, he did not. Of course, the President makes the final decision based on all the information provided to him, including not only intelligence information but information from other sources as well, and other circumstances. Nonetheless, Kent's assertion cannot be verified. 11. One of the most preposterous and pernicious of Kent's views was his insinuation that Israel may have been behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which he declared during his interview with Tucker Carlson. I pressed him hard on this. He tried to adjust his insinuation to suggest there could have been a foreign actor but that was clearly an equivocation. He also claimed he could not provide specifics as he could not reveal them, or the information was classified or whatever. But he insisted it needed to be pursued. Obviously, he has no information to support any of it. It was a blatant antisemitic trope, to go along with his other obsessions with Israel. 11. I asked Kent about the timing of his resignation and the provocative claims in his letter, as well as his allegations against Israel and supposed Israeli lobbyists and their claimed influence on the President (convincing him to go to war). He responded with generalities, talked about a media echo chamber, and repeated his charge that the President essentially was not making his own decisions. He also said he did not issue his letter at the outbreak of the war because he had hoped the President would quickly reverse course. Clearly, his resignation, letter, and the timing was intended for media consumption and to undermine the President and, he hoped, delegitimize the President's decisions, which Kent knew would be used by the media, the Democrats, the Woke Reich, and others against the President and his decisions. There was much more. You can listen for yourself here:
