More on former DIA employee, Trump hater and spy Henry Kyle Frese
2019-10-13
[PJ] Federal employee Henry Kyle Frese was arrested today for allegedly leaking national security secrets to reporters at CNBC and NBC. One of the reporters was his girlfriend. Read the indictment here.

Frese was a federal employee at the Defense Intelligence Agency. It comes as no surprise that Frese ‐ like so many other federal employees in Washington, D.C. ‐ is full of hatred toward Donald Trump and willing to use his personal power and government job to attack the president and conservatives. Let's peruse his Twitter feed before it disappears.

Frese went to college and graduate school in Canada. His posts routinely cover national security and foreign affairs issues. They are also vehemently hostile to Donald Trump and his foreign policy. A post just this week regarding Turkey and Syria says, "Once again we remind our current, and any potential future allies, that at some point we will [expletive] them over." I could find no postings on his Twitter feed regarding the Obama administration meddling in Israel's elections or striking up a nuclear deal with Iran.

Frese didn't just hate Trump, he hated those around Trump, including Sebastian Gorka. Upon reading that Gorka would be traveling with Trump, Frese attacked Gorka by posting an imaginary quote from a White House official: "You know what would be good optics right now? SecState travelling with someone who was disgraced from the White House and has clear ties to European white nationalist groups." Gorka does not have ties to European white nationalist groups.

Frese traveled quite a bit. Every month or two, he could be found hiking Kilimanjaro or sipping beer in an Eastern European capital, visiting London or the low countries, Morocco, Berlin, Australia, all in the space of a year or two. It was quite a travel experience for a lowly federal employee. Perhaps it was work-related, all those different destinations. Excessive foreign travel can be a marker for a national security risk.

#6  My only surprise is that this guy didn't show up as a phony Whistleblower on Adam Schiff's House committee to impeach Trump. I guess he stepped on his own pecker first before he could do this. Timing is everything.

#5  Like CNN, NYT and WaPo, NBC and CNBC are auxiliary units of Deep State. Think of them as "DS-2" to CIA/DOJ/NSA's "DS-1."

The feedback loop is:

1) DS-1 - Frese in this case - feeds "news" to DS-2 - his f-buddy at NBC.

2) DS-2 gives the "story" legs, at which point it becomes Establishment "truth"

3) DS-1 uses this story as the basis for FISA court warrant applications and begins wiretapping targets of the Deep State, which yields

4) New rumors, lies and innuendoes which DS-1 then feeds to DS-2 - see Step 1. Rinse & repeat.

#1  Frese traveled quite a bit. Every month or two.... Perhaps it was work-related, all those different destinations. Excessive foreign travel can be a marker for a national security risk.

You don't say? "Work-related"... mountain climbing? And the DIA Special Security Officer (SSO), might he have anything to say? Or is he simply wishing he'd said something ?
