Everything is counterintelligence.

<sighs>

say it with me now we’re all counterintelligence officers now
Now I wonder how trivial it is to reverse engineer a bank of standard security question answers for a target person using an LLM and their publicly posted information...
This is not INTENTIONALLY a social engineering question, but given how many security questions involve "make and model of your first car," uh... probably don't talk about this!

Everything is counterintelligence and also the Democratic Party needs a SWAT team dedicated to explicitly this apparently.

"I can't pull off a leather jacket" is, you guessed it, counterintelligence.

Donovan moves on to the Foreign Influence Task Force (Floris's counterintelligence unit at the FBI).

Witt points her to paragraph 14 of his affidavit.

fun fact Indiana Jones lore says that he was a bird colonel in the OSS during WW2 (everything is counterintelligence)

Tester’s framing that an Air Force counterintelligence expert just “doesn’t understand how important this race is” is pretty laughable.

Agreed the entire GOP at this point is the most successful Russian counterintelligence operation in Russia’s history

This is a form of intelligence gathering and kinda proves that ICE is kinda bad at counterintelligence.
ICE agents apparently searched for themselves in the leaked database, thereby revealing their identities

Five FBI insiders say the counterintelligence squads are running at 50 to 60 percent.
The Kremlin’s answer was a murder plot.

Donovan asks about Witt's experience with intelligence and counterintelligence investigations. Witt says his background is criminal, unclassified. Not intelligence/counter-intel.
October 27, 2026 at 8:23 PM
Dohrmann now discussing this alleged false statement. She argues that in counterintel work, being "involved" in investigation has specific meaning...different from being generally aware of HB investigation. The way counterintelligence thinks about investigations isn't that its about a person per se

Not just in counterintelligence! In regular life, knowing vaguely of a thing’s existence does not mean you’re involved with said thing.

In response to each question, Floris says no. Witt says they have a calendar invite from one of the US attorneys.

Donovan: let me get to the point. These are US attorneys? And they're doing criminal investigations? But Nikki wasn't? She's counterintelligence?

Donovan then displays except that shows larger context of next three questions immediately after this testimony excerpted in complaint.

The next three questions from the committee ask if she has discussed the "Hunter Biden investigation" with three different US attorneys (Weiss, Graves, Estrada).

As Marcy has been repeating, this case is about the government even being able to conduct counterintelligence against (Russian) disinformation.

It's clownish yet so important.
Overnight, DOJ rolled out a new (draft) complaint against Nikki Floris and Brad Benavides, the FBI agents Jeanine Pirro claims lied to cover up their knowledge of Hunter Biden investigation.

It reveals the FBI had misrepresented a key witness' knowledge of the Hunter Biden investigation.

Jeff Bezos making up a pretend problem that him paying taxes would magically not solve is counterintelligence behavior.
