John Solomon: The Same Media Who Proclaimed That China's Theft of 40 Million Voter Records from the UK Was a Major Breach Now Says That China's Hacking of 220 Million American Voter Files is NBD

And it's not just that. A few days ago I linked an email in which an American intel officer complained about the inconsistent -- and corrupt -- treatment of the two cases. In the case of the UK voter files hacking, the American (liberal) intelligence Regime declared it to be what it was -- election interference.

But they refused to apply that same term to the theft of five and a half times as many US voter files. In fact, they "scrubbed" the language to remove any references to Chinese election interference in the US.

I didn't report what that whistleblower was complaining about when I mentioned it last time, only that he complained of inconsistent treatment of the same facts. This
report from John Solomon clarifies that the intelligence officer (and presumably whistleblower) was complaining that his higher-ups were protecting China (and the Democrat Party) by refusing to call a spade a spade.

When the Biden Justice Department announced that Chinese hackers had gotten their hands on Great Britain's publicly available voter files in 2024, American news media clamored with stories claiming it was a "dangerous" breach. The same, too, when U.S. officials announced Russia and Iran had hacked small numbers of U.S. voter files in 2020 and 2021.
The reason was simple: U.S. intelligence agencies believe the targeting and acquisition of voter registration files is an act of election interference. "Election interference is a subset of election influence targeted at the technical aspects of the election, including voter registration, casting and counting of ballots and reporting of results," an October 2020 National intelligence Council report on election interference explains.
In other words, the compromising of election voter registration data, is, by the definition of intelligence agencies, an act of election interference.
Nothing to see here, move along, legacy media now says
When President Donald Trump presented confirmed evidence last Thursday night that China had compromised and obtained 220 million American voter registration files, the news media swung 180 degrees in the opposite direction. They argued it was old news (it was not) and not a big deal because you can buy limited data in America related to voter registration commercially. According to security experts, that limited data accessibility is not the same thing.
The intelligence agencies in the very documents that Trump declassified and made public for his announcement show the voting integrity and security concerns.
In 2022, the National Security Agency became especially concerned that China had escalated its exploitation of voter data by assigning a "CNE." That's a person or unit who are hackers and cyberthieves. Legacy news media have ignored this fact, while center-right-leaning publications were not as quick to dismiss the accuracy or impact of the data breach.
The Washington Times reported that "Trump said during his primetime address on Thursday that the People's Republic of China acquired 220 million U.S. voter files containing names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive information. Shortly after the speech, the White House released to the public dozens of declassified documents containing partially redacted findings, including data showing nearly 278,000 noncitizens who are registered to vote in federal elections and details over a "slow-walked" 2020 FBI investigation in Michigan."
Great Britain's voter files are commercially available in limited form like America's. But China got versions of the British that caused the Biden administration to indict China for hacking 40 million British voter files. According to the BBC, the British government called it "malicious" interference in their election.
In 2021, the Biden Justice Department indicted two Iranian hackers for accessing just 100,000 voter files from a single state where it is also commercially available. They were charged with criminally interfering in the 2020 election even though voter files are commercially available in limited form.
If China's acquisition of 40 million files in Great Britain and Iran's acquisition of 100,000 files in America were both charged as criminal election interference, it would seem the acquisition of 220 million voter files almost certainly would be considered by the intelligence community to be an act of interference.
At this point, what difference does it make?
Whether the data breach would have or could have flipped the election is beside the point. Experts interviewed by Just the News agreed. Former CIA operations officer Rick de la Torre called the news media's dismissal of Trump's claims "absurd."
"Of course, this is election interference," he added. "With that information, with that data, you know the Chinese government can exploit it. They can target specific individuals. They can do all kinds of things. They could request ballots. They could change people's identifications. They know now how they vote. They know what their political parties are. They know how often they vote."
"Imagine if China hacked into the Pentagon and stole every military service member's personnel file," he told Just the News. "You know, you wouldn't say, 'Oh well, that's not really a big deal. That's not a threat from a national security standpoint.' You know, that's absurd.
...
The suppression by intelligence officials for years of the voter file breaches and other Chinese malign actions is captured in documents showing FBI officials boasting they created a "shadow government" and NSA officials "massaged" the president's intelligence briefing to hide the evidence.
By 2021, after Trump left office, intelligence community officials marveled at the complete 180-degree pivot the Biden spy agencies did by suddenly suggesting China might be interfering in elections.
Nothing had changed. The voter data was known by frontline analysts to have been compromised the year before and was continuing. But all of a sudden, the language changed, a dynamic captured in this gem of an email from a top intelligence expert on election cyberactivities.
"Take a minute a read through this report," an intelligence officer wrote on Dec. 23, 2021. "It cites some of the same intel and logic used in 2020 to say that these same units were not engaged in election influence but were instead only issue focused, to now argue that China IS influencing the [redacted election."]
The intelligence community knew in 2020 that China had illicitly obtained voter files. They knew such an act met the definition of "election interference." They just suppressed it.

In case you missed it: an email admits the IC is "massaging" reports -- falsifying them, in so many words -- to avoid letting Trump know China is influencing US elections (in the Democrats' favor).

NEW: Despite what we now know was hard evidence of China's meddling in the 2020 election, Biden failed to sanction China but instead slapped sanctions on Russia in response to a biased ICA on 2020 interference, while clucking how Putin "will pay a price" for "probably" directing a campaign to launder "disinformation" about his corrupt family ties in Ukraine thru "right wing media."
We now know the NY Post's story was neither disinformation nor generated by Russia, and Hunter's laptop was authentic and the incriminating emails contained on it were real. It was Biden and anti-Trump spooks who were running a disinformation campaign and interfering in the election.

22 The media ignoring blatant election corruption, to the tune of China hacking 220M American voting records, is why they're losing the long con. You have to pretend to do journalism once in a while!

What's old is new again...Nixon's legacy is experiencing a comeback, with Gen z conservatives helping "Nixonmaxxing" vids go viral. The modern media looked the other way on Hillary/Obama spying on Trump. Nixon's coverup of his staff's crimes pales in comparison.

"In a speech at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Vice President JD Vance, a longtime, outspoken admirer of Nixon, made headlines when he joked that Watergate would have been a “12-hour news story” in today’s media environment.
He compared what he called “deep state” efforts against Nixon to attempts to undermine Trump and noted Nixon’s legacy was experiencing a renaissance."

In 2017 me and a friend were theorizing that Trump was a shoo-in for 2020.

So I asked him when would be the best time to black swan the election (similar to 2008 but different because it was an incumbent) - leaving Trump too little time to materially do anything about it, and enough time where they could make an electoral difference.

We both agreed on Spring 2020. So yes. Of course it was intentional. Otherwise the commies are just the luckiest people ever.

74 When you see documentation of how invested China is in orchestrating our country, it makes me wonder about the most recent USSC decision on birth citizenship. That decision, obviously, benefits China more than any other foreign entity. And, it's difficult not to think that there are Supreme Court justices who are compromised by Chinese intervention (be it extortion, bribery et al.)

Most of the birthing centers in Southern California are Chinese run, and the vast majority of birthright citizenship results from Chinese birth tourism. Then, they return to Mainland China and train up the new citizens in various accademic fields and return to the US when they come of age and immediately gravitate towards those industries China wishes to exploit (via corporate espionage), not to mention Govt. Agencies and Entities like the Dept. of Energy.

88 I am enjoying watching the DEI NJ governor squirm. She selectively released there were 6,600 illegal aliens registered to vote. She says this was a software glitch and limited to that issue. lol. No information was released on the number of voters by party. But they carefully released they were across all parties. lol. She was very careful for the primary reason they are being sued by the DoJ to release their list which she says violates NJ privacy law. But the real reason she’s trying to keep a lid on this is it gives the DoJ cause to review the voters records under the CRA and probably other laws. There are some legal decisions opining you can’t “fish” for issues, but the statute clearly says if there is an issue the DoJ has an interest. That’s why she’s trying to say it’s isolated. It defeats one of their reasons for refusing the DoJ request. If it gets to an honest court they are going to allow the DOJ’s request to go forward. But it’s NJ so they will stall as long as possible.

They didn’t have to. The Democrats gave it to them, or sold it cheap anyhow.

Congress hauled some clueless bint from OPM in to yell at her for a few minutes and “We shall never speak of this again” was the predictable result. They do this over and over and over and over.

Government types are never punished for “mistakes”, it didn’t take too long for them to figure out they won’t be punished for even purposeful malice and malfeasance or misfeasance. We’ve been watching them get away with this shit for 50 years.

151 The vast majority of American democrats would be happy to be invaded and slaughtered by the chicoms so long as they can blame PDJT and cause republicans to lose an election.

This means our side (the non GOPe portion) just need to get the arrests cooking, and shift the scales of power from the deep state to MAGA in government with no care to the complaints on the left.

160 One of the more interesting pundits pointed out that Trump did not accuse Xi of stealing the voter rolls, or using them, or in name meddling, just "China"

IIRC, there really is no "China", since they are worse than the USGov - there are interlocking interests, and have surprising independence in what they can do if they can swing it. The influence people like Neville Roy Singham carries probably has more to do with how much such people can fund or do for a section of the Chinese state, than any ideological stance they have. Millionaires can fund special intelligence operations if the central government won't kick funds free.

In a way, that was the structure of the British intelligence service up and through WWI. Sidney Riley was self funding for the Brits, mostly.

196 The dirty little secret about registered illegals doesn't stop with a single vote per registration. The process is more intricate than that which may explain why 5,600 of the 6,000 registered didn't vote. It's more centered towards the domicile and the address. And, it is more beneficial if they DON'T vote, or even know they are registered to do so.

Various community organizers and activists use that registered illegal's address as a depot. They then register legal citizens (homeless) and use that address after adding on "Apartment # _____". That way 20 or 30 people can vote from the same address. It's best if the illegal is in the dark, and the fact that they are keeps them from voting. There is less risk of being caught.

This is so much more an easier to convince the public on how large scale cheating can be done rather than "the voting machines are hacked!" supposed conspiracy theories (they bankrupted America's Mayor Giuliani over these claims).
