something. Or does he actually think we should believe this, that this is on the table, there's a possibility of this? But then I was informed that he worked for NBC. NBC, the entity most closely associated with allegedly the CIA. Is the CIA wanting us to believe that Trump is selling nuclear secrets to a foreign country? I think so. I don't know. But it would be consistent with what we've seen f…

ction people, maybe Twitter should hire them to find out how they do it. Because Twitter, you know you probably thought Twitter is like a big multi-billion dollar company and you're thinking well they hire the best security people but obviously they're not operating at the level of each of these state election systems. So the state election systems that have operated flawlessly without any insider problems whatsoever seem to be able to do this and not only do they do it, they do it every election, time after time. So they're doing it for congressional, local elections, state elections. They're doing it for national elections. The internal digital security for all 51 of these elections is tied, as my dad used to say, tighter than a nat's ass.

And isn't the obvious thing is that Twitter should just hire some of these people to teach them how not to have any insiders working for your company who could take a bribe or something like that? So it's pretty amazing. So a lot of you are looking at the negative side of this and you should really look at the positive. The positive is that our election systems have figured out how to do something that Twitter can't do for data security.

You know what's interesting is that not only can Twitter not do it but none of the large companies can. So Google can't. Google hasn't figured out how to never have an insider do something bad. But all 51 election systems have nailed that. And standing ovation for our election systems. Please give it up everybody. Give it up. 51 election systems with no security problems, no problems with insiders doing things that we don't know about. That's the kind of accomplishment that does not get heralded as much as it should. Not as much as it should. So let's all take a moment to thank the excellent men and women who are working on our election systems. The digital parts. The digital parts. Because those are flawless.

All right. So the DOJ says it's not going to release the affidavit, the part that tells us anything interesting about the Mar-a-Lago situation. But maybe we'll get to see it because Judicial Watch and I think Tom Fitton, who by the way is not an attorney, I don't know if I've ever mentioned that before. Has anybody ever brought up that point to me? Yeah actually Tom Fitton told me himself he was not an attorney because I mentioned he was once. I just figured he should be because he actually seems like he should be. I don't know. I just assume everybody's an attorney. He does have too many muscles to be an attorney. I don't know. Are you allowed to have that many muscles if you have a law degree? And I don't think I've seen anybody with arms that big who also has a law degree. So I think there's some kind of prohibition against that.

Anyway, so the Trump legal team instead of saying yes release the affidavit, they're saying we're just gonna wait and we're gonna wait and see how this lawsuit turns out. Which is an interesting weak way to say it, isn't it? And I think Trump came out a little bit stronger in favor of it but not until he found out it wouldn't be released. I think Trump is confident that it won't be released because remember he doesn't know what's in there. Trump would just be guessing that if it got released it would be somehow positive for him but he doesn't know what's in there. Do you? I do. I know what's in there. Do you know how I know what's in there? Because the hoax pattern is always the same.

So Jack Posobiec has some reporting. He has some kind of sources. And if you don't follow Jack Posobiec on Twitter you need to. He's one of the must-follows because he just hears stuff before other people do. He's going to give it to you in a way that you haven't seen in other places, right? So that's a must-follow. So his take is that the affidavit is probably full of stuff such as a Maggie Haberman report in a newspaper followed by some innuendo and maybe some rumors. It's a little bit of hearsay wrapped up in the little media smear thing where somebody reports on it and then somebody talks about the report and then you can talk about everybody talking about it and pretty soon there's lots of innuendo but really it's all just manufactured.

So the most likely contents of the affidavit are, you know that, right? Most likely the affidavit is complete because we've seen it. It's their play. Yeah it's the wrap-up smear. You know the Schiff thing, the anonymous sources, the what-iffing. What if it's worse? What if it's worse than

Watergate? Until in your mind it's true but it's not true at all. It's the same play. If it turned out that this was the one time that the affidavit was actually valid and legitimate that would be a break with pattern. You get that, right? I can't tell you what's in the affidavit. I don't know. But if it turns out that the affidavit had actual solid evidence of some kind of a criminality, let's sa…
