In the court battle today, the report said, “The White House singled out six stories published by POLITICO, including a June 2026 article that cited a ‘senior administration official’ who put the odds of the U.S. striking a deal with Iran to end the war at between 80 and 85 percent.” This was characterized as some sort of leak that endangered national security.
However, according to Status, that “senior administration official” was Vance, who was “speaking on a background call with reporters authorized by the White House,” and had been granted anonymity by the press pool.



If you’re waiting for any of this to make sense you’re waiting in vain.
You can tell a pattern.
Not a false flag. They’re just lying. Nothing about that statement endangered National Security at all. They’re just straight up lying. They don’t have to do a false flag
They’re too stupid to understand that, which is actually a good thing. Think of the level of incompetence; to plant details for a story you’re going to then use to bar them and the details you planted don’t even endanger National Security.
It’s not the idiotic puppet show out front we need to be watching, it’s the people in the shadows pulling the strings.
No need to play 5D Chess when you can just play Tic-Tac-Toe.
Especially given that, as the situation in Iran shows, they don’t even have the intellectual capability to play 2D Chess.
As we’ve seen today with the Politico drama, they don’t give a shit about being forced by the courts either
They won’t comply with the courts, but others do. It all depends on how far away the sub org is from Trump and gang. Anything that was formerly independent usually complies, like the recent USPS thing.
US is a troll country at this point. Just fucking shit up and then exploiting the chaos. Historically, death of an empire looks like this btw.
