O’Keefe Busts National Security Stooge Undermining Trump Presidency

by Steve MacDonald

You may, by now, know the name Jamie Mannina. Long story short, he worked for the FBI and Hillary for President, after which his focus was Russian and Chinese election interference. Based on the reporting, he’s still clinging to the debunked Russia Collusion narrative from 2016.

I wonder if this counter-intelligence expert also believes Hunter’s laptop is Russian Dizinfromatzia (even though his FBI has admitted it’s genuine) – no, his name is not one of the infamous 51 experts who lied to interfere in an election.

He brags about being an expert at trying to undermine the Trump presidency.

Mannina also spoke about his involvement in efforts to defeat Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections. He claimed to have published over 100 opinion articles, including pieces in The Huffington Post and The Hill, arguing that Trump’s actions were detrimental to the U.S. Constitution. During the recent election cycle, Mannina transitioned from writing under his own name to ghostwriting for retired generals, a move he believed was necessary to challenge Trump’s influence.

An undercover journalist for the O’Keefe Media Group got Jamie chatting up a storm, during which he had some interesting things to share. The newly unemployed Mannina (fired after the OMG story went wide) claimed to be a “Pentagon advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” which the Pentagon denies (and we can trust them, right?),

{Mannina] acknowledged collaborating with retired military leaders, including generals and admirals, to devise methods to counteract Trump’s administration. “I’ve been in conversation with a couple of retired generals to explore what we can do,” he admitted during the undercover conversation. These discussions reportedly occurred in high-security environments, including “The Tank,” a secure room within the Pentagon reserved for critical defense deliberations.

Wait, there’s more.

Throughout the conversations, Mannina discussed his ongoing efforts to challenge Trump’s presidency. He revealed that he had been in talks with several retired military generals, including admirals and major generals, to explore what could be done to prevent Trump from pushing boundaries in his second term.

None of this surprises, and the denials are funny, if not laugh-out-loud. It’s not as funny as the housecleaning that starts in less than a week and, hopefully, any number of congressional or military trials for treason.

I know, some folks think we ought to call it even as long as Trump and Co. get to clean house, but much like a too large number of laws in New Hampshire when there are no teeth or Consequences, lawbreakers are empowered to keep breaking the law.

Those “rocks” in “Leavenworth” aren’t gonna break themselves if you take my meaning.
