“It is really trustworthy that one or some-more of a successive apprehension attacks on a homeland could have been prevented if some-more theme matter experts in a Department of Homeland Security had been authorised to do a jobs behind in late 2009.

It’ll be called ‘National Security Meltdown. we have a exceedingly hyper-organized repository of all that’s happened given See Something, Say Nothing (SSSN) was published in May of 2016. The National Security Meltdown supplement will collect adult right where SSSN left off. My goal is to have it prepared by early-to-mid-Spring of 2020 (just before a domestic sound call hits), afterwards float that call all a approach to a Nov. Elections,” according to Haney’s Nov. 11 text.
