“Diplomatic Security Services of the Department of State... also has jurisdiction over classified communications, such as secure email and other platforms.”

Well that little tidbit kind of gets your attention.

The article did not give us much info. The Potomac is a long river. Was he found over near the Chain Bridge? Key Bridge? the 14th Street Bridge? the Virginia bank downstream near Mount Vernon? or close to the mouth of the Anacostia River in DC?

When will the police release some real information?

“Diplomatic Security Services of the Department of State is charged with global responsibilities, including the safeguarding of American diplomatic personnel, property and classified information. DSS also has jurisdiction over classified communications, such as secure email and other platforms. “

Perhaps significant that he was doing that type of work...

Perhaps not.

We’ll see. (Or maybe we won’t, if they cover it up.)

Yes it does. Wonder if it connected to the Awan situation.

600 Water Street is where he was last seen. It is not where his body was found.
