The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Exposing the Epstein Network is not going to be politically convenient. If your interest in unravelling a child rape network is to only take down Trump, you aren't interested in justice. Sure it can take him down, but you must adult up; accept it'll take down some of your favourite politicians too.

The Neo-Nazi Groyper War to capture the Republican Party is a good example of "network war." A group existing mostly online ("in the cloud) takes power in the real world. When it becomes powerful enough to also take land, the victor of a network war can become a network state. That's the 101 theory.
In 2022, Peter Thiel protégé Balaji Srinivasan—formerly of Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase—envisioned a Second American Civil War.
He predicted it would be triggered by Bitcoin.
