~Yesterday Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas took time out of his hectic schedule of cruising upscale menswear boutiques to visit hurricane-devastated western North Carolina and make sure all the roads and bridges leading to polling stations are still washed out.
It was predictable stuff - except for one exchange re an Afghan arrested in Oklahoma City on Monday for plotting a big Election Day terror attack. Mayorkas was smooth in his obstinacy, but it still came over as ...off:
https://x.com/greg_price11/status/1844436491583488115So what's going on?
Well, it has now emerged that the alleged Election Day terrorist, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, was a former CIA security guard. Per NBC News:
Afghan accused of plotting terror attack worked as CIA guard, officials say
Hmm. So we now have at least one would-be Trump assassin plus an Election Day terrorist with ties to the Deep State. The connections of the other would-be Trump assassin are a bit more circumstantial. Still, under the old Fleet Street rules, three's a trend - or to reprise Ian Fleming's famous line from Goldfinger:
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action.
So again: what's going on? Are all the lone wolves working for Langley? Mr Tawhedi's case came up at the White House press conference, but it didn't really go anywhere:
🚨BREAKING NEWS: It has been confirmed that the Afghan refugee that was charged with plotting massive massacre on US election day worked for CIA.
Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27 entered the U.S. in September 2021 under the Biden / Harris administration, following their deadly and chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.
Tawhedi, who was nabbed in Oklahoma on Monday over the alleged terror plot, was employed as a security guard for the agency but was not a CIA informant, NBC News reported, citing multiple sources.
KJP ignored several questions relating to the CIA reveal.
