re: Kent under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified info

Well, the flip side of that is, we trust the intel agencies now? I can't keep track when we should and shouldn't. How do you know this isn't a smear like with Gaetz?

Of course it is

Lol of course. Kash will get to the bottom of this

Well that would explain his “principled” departure. He knew he was an investigative target so decided to change the narrative to get out in front and then claim he is a victim.

Don’t know but didn’t I see a post the other day where Tucker said he was under investigation?

He claimed the CIA was reading his messages

More likely the FBI, at this point. Mole hunt

I believe Kent worked for the CIA after serving

Not making any claims but the resignation stinks to high heavens

I can’t keep track of what MAGA is supposed to represent these days. If Kent is a left wing hack then the definition must’ve changed somewhere between the election of 2024 and whatever is passing for MAGA today.

Joe Kent held all the positions that once were considered core MAGA orthodoxy by the majority of posters on this very forum. Kent…

…opposed perpetual war;

…thought the leadership in both parties served the reigning elite in the Potomac Swamp;

…supported border security and wanted to severely curtail work-VISA schemes;

…believed COVID was a manufactured pandemic and that Fauci should be investigated;

…believed the 2020 election was stolen and that Biden was a fraudulent President;

…and likewise believed that January 6th was a Federal entrapment operation.

Maybe Kent was a Deep State mole all along and this all was political posturing to advance his political career. Yet does this same reasoning apply to Trump?



In Southwest WA, a far-right clash tests power of Trump’s endorsement in race for Congress…

LONGVIEW — At a recent evening campaign town hall, Republican candidate Joe Kent rattled off his Day 1 priorities if he’s elected to Congress.

Impeach Joe Biden. Impeach Kamala Harris. Maybe install Donald Trump — or one of his children — as Speaker of the House.

The fantastical scenario played well with the couple of dozen Republicans at the event in a nondescript real estate office meeting room.

Kent admitted the odds of his plan succeeding are slim. But obstruction and revenge are the point. “In a lot of ways the process is the punishment,” he said. “That’s what they did with Trump. We’ll do it to them.”

An ex-Green Beret combat veteran and Gold Star husband, Kent is the Trump-endorsed challenger looking to oust U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler in the 2022 midterm election, in retribution for her impeachment vote last year.

Kent is waging an “America First” campaign marked by fealty to Trump and resentment of Democratic and Republican elites. In addition to calling for probes of the 2020 election, he says Congress should investigate Anthony Fauci over COVID-19’s origins.

He supports a near-total shutdown of immigration to the U.S. — including barring refugees fleeing Ukraine. Earlier this month, he called Vladimir Putin’s demands that Ukraine cede territory to Russia “very reasonable.”

Kent is dismissive, even contemptuous, of the value of congressional seniority. He calls Herrera Beutler “a corporatist swamp creature,” supports term limits, and says he wouldn’t seek earmarks for local projects because he opposes the big spending bills which contain them.

Kent, 42, enlisted in the Army at age 18 and went on to serve 11 combat tours. His belligerence toward the U.S. political establishment is grounded in part on personal tragedy. In 2019, his wife, Navy cryptologist Shannon Kent, was killed by a suicide bomber in Syria while fighting the Islamic State terrorist group. Kent blames U.S. leaders for promoting endless foreign interventions with little domestic benefit.

That’s how he views the rush to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion. Kent said he opposes military aid for Ukraine and says the U.S. also should refuse to accept any refugees.

“This isn’t our fight. We have enough problems right here,” he said in an interview. He supports shutting the door to virtually all immigration, including banning H-1B visas used by tech firms such as Microsoft to hire highly skilled workers.

At another recent town hall in La Center, Clark County, held outside on the small town’s main drag after a local Mexican restaurant refused to host it, Kent mocked Washington state Republican leaders for urging Gov. Jay Inslee to accept refugees from Afghanistan.

“Honestly, I think we have to stop giving money to the Republican Party,” he said to a crowd of about 40 people. “The Republican Party is broken.”

So many posters here look so fricking stupid after their takes on this guy the other day if he turns out to be doing this stuff
