White House worried Iran is plotting assassination attempts against Trump administration officials.
Washington Examiner. ^ | Jan 9, 2022 | Joel Gehrke

Iran’s imposition of “sanctions” on dozens of Americans amounts to an assassination threat against members of former President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a senior U.S. official who threatened “severe consequences” for any harm done to them.

“Make no mistake: the United States of America will protect and defend its citizens,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday. “This includes those serving the United States now and those who formerly served.”

Iranian officials have made explicit their interest in killing one of the people involved in the U.S. strike that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The regime observed the second anniversary of his death last week, which occasioned a flurry of truculent rhetoric and the unveiling of economic sanctions by Iran that U.S. observers take as a proxy for a threat of violence.

That’s the Washington Examiner headline.

The Washington Post headline would read “White House overjoyed Iran is plotting assassination attempts against Trump administration officials.”

It seems the White House is getting out in front of something they themselves are probably HELPING IRAN TO PLAN.

You know what followed after that event.....
Put in context of the narrative around Jan. 6, it should give one pause.

President Trump has had top notch security for at least 2 decades.

Yeah, I’ll bet the RATs are worried, worried that the Iranians will fail even with their help.

A good plan—Use an Iranian Patsy to shoot Trump==a Twofer A) get rid of Trump who will dissolve the FBI if he wins, and B) start the war with Iran and keep the nation thinking of the invasion and the two year war.

Big quotation marks around the word “WORRIED”.

Desperate people do desperate things.

Have you seen Biden’s poll numbers lately?

Good point. Wouldn’t be surprised if DJT already had Arabic and Farsi speakers as part of his security.

If it’s any comfort the Zapruders have their film man following him. The fed’s security team has been based at some grassy knoll near Mar-a-Lago. So, he’s got that going for him.

I would expect this current administration to support them.

Something is up if they are “worried” about it.

“White House worried Iran is plotting assassination attempts against Trump administration officials.”

More likely they’re helping them plan. It’s not much of a leap to frame people for crimes than it is to help others assassinate those same people.

Just like they did in Afghanistan, right?

Word on the street after the election was that the Secret Service told Melania that if the Trumps didn’t leave DC after the fake election that Donald would be hit! I believed it then and I still do! Only question is who gets to play the part of Lee Harvey?
