Government Corruption
Former Hillary Clinton staffer claims to be plotting with retired Generals to 'protect' America from Trump
2025-01-15
Update: they fired the gullible idiot. See here.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A new investigative report from O'Keefe Media Group reveals "spy hunter" Jamie Mannina denigrating President-elect Donald Trump as well as incoming Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Over the course of several fake dates with an OMG undercover journalist, he reveals the nature of his work in the Pentagon and his background in government going back to his work for Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State.

He believes that Trump will attempt to remain in office past the end of his term in the White House. "I predict Trump will probably entertain publicly the idea of staying in office, changing the laws to stay in office, which he's not allowed to do by Constitution, but he'll probably suggest it and there'll probably be an effort to try." This, Mannina believes, is in service to Trump's desire to not go to jail."

Mannina is a consultant senior advisor with the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Department of Defense, a former special agent with the FBI and a former special assistant to Hillary Clinton. When she lost the presidential election, he went to work with the FBI and became a spy hunter. He met Clinton when he was in college and worked for her at the State Department before going to the FBI where he specialized in catching Russian and Chinese spies. He was inspired to do this because he believed that they had compromised the 2016 US presidential election. Mannina believed that the 2016 election had not been fair or uncompromised by foreign agents.

When asked by his undercover date what he thought of President Donald Trump, he said "He's a sociopathic narcissist who is only interested in advancing his name, his wealth, and his fame. He's had a lifetime of cheating. He's habitually addicted to lying about himself."

The OMG reporter asked him if there was anything he "could do to protect the American people from stuff that he might try to do?"

"I'm in conversation with a couple of retired generals," Mannina said, "to try to explore what we can do."

She asked who the retired generals were, and Mannina said "they're like one, two, and three star generals and admirals." He said that there was a "Rear Admiral, another is a Major General in the Army." He said he talks to "quite a few" of them. Mannina was sure that had Kamala Harris won the presidential election he would have received a big job with National Security Leaders for America. That group, he said, was focused on "explaining the national security consequences of another Trump presidency."

"This organization tried to defeat Donald Trump. Tried to engage the American public, conducted hundreds of interviews," he said. Mannina said that he published over 100 opinion columns in newspapers across the country in furtherance of the mission to defeat Trump. Mannina wrote for the Huffington Post and The Hill in 2017, penning such articles as "Trump's actions are an assault on the Constitution." During the recent election cycle, Mannina did not write in his name but ghost-wrote for generals. When Trump won, Mannina was upset not only because of the "mission failure" but because he was hoping to further his career.

During a follow-up dinner date, Mannina told her "So I also have a big day tomorrow. Probably the biggest day of all." He detailed that he would be in "a huge, huge meeting with military leaders in a very secure room called the tank. So we have a tank meeting with like all the top, top leaders in the United States military tomorrow on my topic that I prepared."

#15  For something coming onto him, a dog is fetching.

"I'm a little bit of a spy hunter myself."

#14  This guy has dedicated his adult life to supporting Hillary Clinton because Donald Trump is a psychopathic narcissist. I don’t think reprogramming is worthwhile for him; there is just too much latent stupidity. Trying to convince him that his theories are BS is as advisable as customizing a roached 2005 Ford Focus, a bad investment all around.

#13  Has anybody seen a picture of this young lady. Given this moron's eagerness to impress her, she must be quite fetching.

#12  Or if his backers routinely shovel his flavor of affairs of state to influence the affairs of state, and is a dippity doo.

#10  I love the way she acted like an impressionable, ignorant, young bimbo. Well done, young lady. She should get an Oscar.

And he was so eager to impress her. Gotta wonder how many legitimate dates he gets. I'm thinking not many.

Holy Crap! The stinger was a female.

The part about 'being a spy hunter' while on the date had me laughing.

#8  Congratulations...
To the Former Hillary Clinton staffer plotting with retired Generals against Trump. This qualifies as an admission of 18 U.S.C. § 2381 Subversion and Treasonous acts.

May the rope swing take a while.

But we've had that for the last four years, how is Trump going to be different?

Sounds like Dale.

#4  It doesn't even have to be the date.

It is a public place with strangers nearby.

It could be the nice family or the elderly couple sitting at the next table, equipped with sensitive microphones and sophisticated software that will filter out the chatter.

This wouldn't be a danger for any ordinary Joe Sixpack but he is a publicly known affiliate of the DoD, and surveillance of this kind would be a cheap fishing expedition for any adversarial player.

Even Maxwell Smart was smart enough to always insist on the Cone of Silence...

#3  Yes, but Elmerert, she’s a girl. The rules are always different when there’s a girl involved.

Oy. What you said — all of it. And even when management sends the word down to be careful about O’Keefe and Project Veritas, the idiots spill their guts to the pretty, sympathetic girl or boy anyway. It’s enough to make one believe in magic wands

#2  This guy has a date in a public place with a person not known well to him, a person who hasn't undergone any official professional background checks.

On this date in a public place, the other patrons and the restaurant staff being unknown to him and also not having undergone background checks, the public place not having been sweeped for listening devices he carelessly spills secrets involving "tank rooms" secured by technology that James Bond's Q would envy.

Informational security/secrecy is as strong as its weakest link, and this guy isn't a weak link, he's no link.

I am certain that the Chinese/Russians/Others know every bit of classified data he's ever had access to.

The Western ruling elites are evil but not geniuses, they are, in general, evil morons.

#1  He believes that Trump will attempt to remain in office past the end of his term in the White House.

Didn't they say the same thing during his first term?
