US arrests suspect in 2012 Benghazi consulate attack, Bondi says The U.S. has arrested a person suspected of playing a central role in the 2012 attack on its consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday.

I proudly rep'd CIA heroes portrayed in book/film #13Hours which recounted what happened during 2012 Benghazi attack when 4 Americans, incl Ambassador, were murdered.

I actually worked closely w/Cong Devin Nunes who was strong ally & friend.

Props to FBI/JusticeDept.

According to DNI Gabbard, she didn't see our Whistleblower complaint until two weeks ago yet ICIG - whom she praises - told our @wbaidlaw.bsky.social client last June 2025 that DNI was provided complete submission.

So which is the truth?

This is why our client needs to speak w/Congress.

Law Firms Suing Trump Will Make Appeals Arguments on Same Day All four Big Law firms fighting President Donald Trump’s executive orders will make their arguments against the directives on the same day, an appeals court ruled Friday.

They join with Zaid v. Executive Office of the President!!!

We sent a letter tonight to @odnigov.bsky.social informing the director that if she fails to provide security guidance to our client we will approach the committees to provide them an unclassified briefing on the facts and the underlying intelligence concerns
whistlebloweraid.org/whistleblowe...

We need the Gang of Eight to confirm they received access to the disclosure, and whether it was actually the full document. Our client deserves to be heard by Intel leaders (with protections in place) & they need to see the underlying intelligence.

We have lost trust in the @odnigov.bsky.social

Correct. @wbaidlaw.bsky.social counsel will brief Congress next week if @odnigov.bsky.social fails to provide security guidance for our whistleblower client to go to the Intel committees.

Director Gabbard must follow the law. This isn't political football -- our national security is on the line.

Whistleblower complaint centers on sharing of classified intelligence and reporting of a potential crime, watchdog says | CNN Politics A complaint filed last year by a US intelligence community whistleblower that is now being scrutinized by lawmakers includes claims that the distribution of a highly classified intelligence report had been “restricted for political purposes” and that an intelligence agency lawyer had failed to report a potential crime to the Justice Department, a government watchdog told lawmakers earlier this week.

Sen. Tom Cotton’s defense of Office of the DNI stonewalling -- for eight months -- a whistleblower complaint with grave national security implications sounds an awful lot like scripted talking points aimed at covering up a damning complaint and preventing Congress from exercising critical oversight.

Whistleblower Aid and its anonymous client have a simple ask of Office of the DNI that we repeat here: Release the highly confidential whistleblower complaint to Congress and let Members do the job they are elected and legally mandated to do.
What is the Administration trying so hard to hide?

I know, I know!!

Our whistleblower client is willing to speak, w/appropriate protections, w/Gang of Eight & cleared staffs to provide addt'l details about complaint & address credibility & concerns of politicization, as well as answer questions @odnigov.bsky.social is refusing to address.

We all want the truth.

A fair & reasonable way to address @odnigov.bsky.social's one sided criticisms is to have @wbaidlaw.bsky.social's client meet w/ Congress & provide greater details abt serious concerns.

There is nothing partisan or politicized abt lawful whistleblower process so long as truth is ultimate objective

Gang of Eight to Review Whistleblower Complaint Against Tulsi Gabbard The Wall Street Journal first reported that lawmakers had been blocked from viewing the complaint, whose contents are unknown, for months.

“It took six months of bipartisan pressure to get them to bring it forward,” Warner added.

That's what DNI said yesterday.

So, I ask: are DNI political officials lying or are GOP & DEM Members of Congress?

Yet another example of the great work it does.
