Correct. They informed all of the unhinged people in the US who'd never heard of Scott Bessent but now they know he's the enemy and where he lives. And that's exactly why they publicized his address; they hope it will reach some crazies.

Your house was very easy to find too, wasn't it?

You asshats around here actually believe the WSJ is a leftist publication? Jesus.


I’m pretty sure that Robot Santa was being facetious, but yes, a fair amount of posters on this board (probably a majority) do believe that.

doubt it would have been difficult to locate his house without this publishing.

Could probably look it up in the phone book or public records.

That makes it ok.

Very. And yeah they do because anything the regime is upset by is obviously a sinister Dumocrat plot. Or is it Dumbocrat? I can never remember if there is a b in there. Dumb or Dum? Many people have no idea and I am but 1.

The political leanings of the WSJ are immaterial. They put his address out there for a reason; what do you think it was?

I don’t think that they published his address. I think they just published an aerial photo of it. I don’t know the reason why. I haven’t read the story.

Many of you don't know how hard it is to hide your address from the public.

It's in publicly available deeds and stuff.


It's not always that easy.

Let's say someone wanted to target him. If they didn't have someone inside the system enough to pull it from some file (HR files, medical files, knows someone who knows him well enough to get the address, etc) then they have to go through an exhaustive property search of at least the right region or suburb of DC.

More than likely it's within an LLC, so they would then have to search out who owned each LLC they came across which was listed as the owner of a home.

That takes time. It's not nearly as simple as when a global media organization publishes a photo and general area of your new home on the very day it's purchased.

Again, someone with a driving urge, time and resources could find this out, but some average lunatic who wants to take a shot at him because they can't get a good sightline on Trump? This just hands them an Easy Button.



It's the difference between the information existing and advertising the information.

A private investigator could do it with probably 3 hours worth of work.

Yep , it’s easy to find someone. Usually public record. Property tax rolls, etc

I agree that 5 years ago it was much more of a project than is being portrayed but how much has AI changed the equation?

Or any halfway decent landman.

Sure, it’s easier to find if WSJ identifies it for you, but in reality, it’s not difficult to do yourself.

Ok, you can't hazard a guess as to WHY they published an aerial photo of his house? That's either really common and they do it all the time for public figures or it was deliberate. I can only think of one reason to deliberately publicize where he lives; it's a nudge for the crazies. Do you have another possibility?

Ridiculous. Any country with any spy agents in the USA has pinpointed where top American leaders live. WSJ didn't inform Iran of anything, they already knew it all.


I think you're correct when you say any nation who is looking to snuff any individuals has the capability to locate their primary residence but what about the typical mentally derange DSA Loyalist with pink hair and a nose ring, should the media make it easier for those type of people to lay in wait for a person like Scott Bessent?
