Where the hell is Malcolm Nance?

Last edited Thu Nov 14, 2019, 06:58 PM - Edit history (1)

The networks are trotting out every talking head seen and unseen in 20 years but I don’t hear the voice of the one person I really want to hear from.

He had a book come out last month,
The Plot to Betray America.

Motherless Brooklyn opened recently and I’ve listened to no less than 5 full interviews with Edward Norton. ( I’m a fan.)

Where he hell is Malcolm Nance the week we start impeachment?

Thanks to a DUer whe posted that he was on Morning Joe earlier this week I went lioooking for the segment on the MSNBC ap and in YouTube without any luck.

Malcolm where are you man?

he's on a book tour so he will be popping up in places you aren't used to seeing him on.

I'm responding to a since-deleted post that remarked on Nance's wife having died recently. Not sure why it was deleted, but so that my reply makes some sense....

he would know. Nance ran several counter Inel operations against the KGB as well as the FSB. And,he wrote the book on how they operate as well as who was a player and who was getting played.

31. Trump married Ivana in 1977-
Thu Nov 14, 2019, 06:05 PM
Nov 2019

Her "defection" from the USSR and her 'immigration' to the US were both rather suspicious... both were accomplished very easily.
I had a classmate whose family defected from Czechoslovakia (as she did) almost exactly the same time, and it was quite clandestine-- snuck over the border in the middle of the night, picked up by some dissident group and smuggled into Austria. It cost them a great deal of money and seemed quite hazardous.

Ivana on the other hand married (supposedly) an Austrian man, and was allowed to leave and come back as she wished. Ended up in Montreal, and seemed to come and go into the US without difficulty.

There has long been supposition that she was one of many "honeytrap" women trained to entrap Western businessmen. (Conspiracy theory alert... When he dumped the first one, there was already one prepared to take over, this one from Slovenia... but the dates don't work-- USSR was already history by then. Putin, however, was KGB/FSB all the way through that time.)

Also, the "Jack Webb" character? I have not seen him in a while?

Bear in mind he's recently widowed, so he probably took some time off, and I doubt he's back to his old self.

He's been working all along, but maybe he needed a bit of rest. Trump is stressful enough without having to deal with grief.

Replying to @Texas_Rose52 and @MalcolmNance
This is not complicated; Dems need to be clear & tight in messaging:

1. Trump solicited a bribe in exchange for an official act.
2. Trump needs re-election to avoid prison.
3. The bribe he sought would’ve helped him get re-elected, avoid prison, & make more money off presidency.

have not seen the show lately. Usually he is a call-in interview. You could check her podcast and see if he was on this week. I watch it on Free Speech tv, but it's out there other places.

I enjoyed it; I like Brian Willams' show the best. It's more measured (and I like his wryness).

...in my opinion.

He is always interesting to watch.

It was with great sorrow that he recently lost his wife. Our thoughts are with him.
