Malcolm Nance Interview: "Trump Is Reading Literally Fake News and Acting on It as President of the United States"

Malcolm Nance was a career counterterrorism and intelligence officer for the US government’s Special Operations, Homeland Security and intelligence agencies, and has over 33 years of experience in combatting radial extremism. He’s a retired Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer in naval cryptology and was involved in numerous counterterrorism, intelligence and combat operations.

On the morning of 9/11, driving to Arlington, Nance witnessed the crash of American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon and acted as first responder at the helipad crash site. He has authored several books including The Terrorist Recognition Handbook, Defeating ISIS and The Plot to Hack America: How Putin’s Cyberspies and WikiLeaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election. Nance has appeared as a guest policy analyst on CNN, ABC News, Fox News, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, the BBC’s Hardtalk, Australian Broadcasting’s Dateline and other political talk shows.

“This is not something we can allow to stand. This isn’t politics at all. This is dangerous.”

Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Malcolm, let’s get right to recent news. In a series of tweets, Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower before the election. Since he offered no proof to back up his claim, some say he was perhaps creating distractions or that the accusations were meant to deflect from the Russia probe. What do you think?

Malcolm Nance: I really don’t think he’s creating distractions. Based on what people were saying, the Washington Post wrote about Trump being in a complete and total panic about AG Sessions recusing himself and then being completely angry that whole weekend. It turns out, according to certain reports, that Steve Bannon handed him a copy of this Breitbart article claiming Obama had wiretapped him, then he got furious and went on his 3:00 AM tweetstorm.

That’s not creating distractions. That’s really sort of a psychopathy there. That’s destabilizing behavior from someone who’s supposed to be an adult, and it’s dangerous because he controls 4,000 atomic weapons. All the warnings that people were saying about him being unfit to be president, being quick to temper … this is absolutely ridiculous. It’s absolutely dangerous. I’m actually very worried about it.

Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Can a president just unilaterally order the wiretapping of a United States citizen, and if not, what’s the process?

Malcolm Nance: No. A president can’t do that. They stopped this back in the 1970s because of Nixon and Watergate. The president has nothing to do with collections. All of this falls under a bill called Omnibus Crime & Security, also known as the Wiretap Act of 1968. The Justice Department is ultimately responsible for any collection like that.

The President can’t ask for it. The president can’t order it. The Attorney General can order it if it falls under certain crimes like the Racketeer Influences and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), financial crimes, things that there’s an actual case on. They just can’t do it for fun.

If there’s a crime, like you’ve got a guy plotting with the KGB, the FSB (Russian intelligence), and US intelligence has accidentally stumbled across the information, then they would go back to the Justice Department. An attorney at one of the agencies would freeze that information. Nobody would keep it. Nobody would transcribe it. They would just block off where it is, and they would go to the Justice Department. They would bring it up as evidence.

That information would go to a place called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). The FISC, once they look at that evidence to allow them to proceed to turn it over to the Justice Department, would issue a FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant. That is a secret court order that allows them to proceed with collecting this information on the basis whether there’s been a crime committed. That’s the only circumstances this would happen.

Trump is reading literally fake news. Trump is reading literally fake news and acting on it as president of the United States. He’s accusing a president of illegally wiretapping. That’s not him just thinking things up. That’s destabilizing. That’s mental incapacity going on right there, and he’s going to suffer for it. This is not something we can allow to stand. This isn’t politics at all. This is dangerous.

Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): If an investigation is opened at the request of the White House, and Trump’s accusations of Obama wiretapping Trump Tower before the election prove to be baseless, what kind of damage will have been done to the presidency?

Malcolm Nance: The damage has already been done to the presidency. We have a White House that the first lady won’t live in. We have a president of the United States who won’t use secure communications, who just thinks off the top of his head. He has insulted every one of our allies, but embraces the dictatorial leader of a totalitarian state. It’s just utterly amazing. It’s just absolutely ridiculous.

He has damaged the presidency. In fact, hopefully, if Congress is ever restored back to normal, we can enact new laws so that the president has to undergo a psychological evaluation or do other things that aren’t in place right now that we need to re-establish the norm. Right now, Trump is doing things that are clearly financial crimes. He doubled the buy-in value of getting a membership at Mar-a-Lago, which almost guarantees you to meet him, his friends and other people in the administration.

His spending on security is off the charts! He has spent in one month more on security at Mar-a-Lago and New York than Obama did in an entire year. But, now, suddenly, all of this is acceptable. These are norms that every president has tried not to abuse with their position. The funny thing is these people have double standards. It’s okay for him. It’s not okay for anybody else, especially for the Democrats. But, it’s not okay at all.

Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Your book, The Plot to Hack America, tells the story of how Vladimir Putin personally orchestrated the election hacking and that it was done specifically to elect Donald Trump president. Last year, 17 intelligence agencies were confident that these espionage attacks came from the highest levels of the Kremlin. In a nutshell, how did Russian spies steal the 2016 presidential election, and was Donald Trump an unwitting pawn?

Malcolm Nance: First off, you have to understand that Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, was a spy. He was a career intelligence officer when the Soviet Union fell. He used to run spies from West Germany into East Germany and steal computer technology. So, when the Soviet Union fell, Putin went on to become an enforcer in St. Petersburg and helped liquidate hundreds of billions of dollars of Soviet assets. Much of that was put into the New York real estate market.

He then became the director of what was the KGB at that time, now called the FSB, but it’s the same organization. Nothing has changed between the two agencies. So, as the spymaster-in-chief of Russia, Putin knew how to manipulate people. He was trained and had spent over a decade manipulating people to steal things from the West, to steal technology. So, with that, he became the president of Russia, and Russia became a sort of mafia state with an atomic bomb.

Then, Putin and his allies, in 2005-2006, started moving Russia back toward an authoritarian nation, essentially a dictatorship of the uber-rich, the oligarchs, Putin being at the top of them. But, Putin was no fool. He had always harbored this resentment against the West for the Soviet era and the post-Soviet era. He was an enemy of Hillary Clinton. He didn’t like Barack Obama. He felt that he was at the rise of sort of a new Russian empire, and he started making allies in the American conservative movement, including making contact with Donald Trump during the Miss Universe pageant.

Trump was desperate to become friends with Putin because of free money. He wanted access to all of the money from all those Russian oligarchs, but in Russia, most of the money is held in the hands of 15% of the people. Most of that nation is very poor. Putin must have seen Trump as a very colorful character who he could use as an ally in the future. I don’t think he saw him as a person running for president at that time. But, when he ran for president, Donald Trump espoused the Russian party line about foreign policy and everything else. It’s utterly amazing. It was like hearing a Kremlin press release.

So, it appears that Vladimir Putin put in this operation, almost ten months long, to hack the DNC (Democratic National Committee), gained every bit of information about the Democratic Party, and then released it via WikiLeaks, their Laundromat, in time to damage the Democratic Party. The first part was to split the Bernie Sanders voters away from the Hillary Clinton voters, and that actually was very successful. Then, they wanted to just keep the word “email” in the minds of the American public.

All of this was done to ensure that Donald Trump would be elected president. The DNC wasn’t hacked so much as the mindset of the American public was hacked. Putin technically hacked the way the media covered Donald Trump. He understood that the media would do anything to get a better story and he stole the information. It was literally Watergate 2.0 because, unlike the first Watergate where they broke into the DNC, this guy actually stole everything, used it and destroyed a presidential candidacy and voted in the man that he wanted.

How do you wake up Sleeping Beauty?

Fascinated by the wheel, she touches the spindle, pricking her finger. As had been foretold by the curse, Aurora is put under a sleeping spell. The good fairies place Aurora on her bed with a red rose in her hand and cause a deep sleep to fall over the entire kingdom until they can find a way to break the curse.

Why was Hollywoodland created?

With limited finances, Walt had to find affordable land. It was also important that his park be located near a major highway. In August of 1953, Hollywood and his partners selected a 160-acre orange grove in Anaheim, California to be the site of Hollywoodland. The construction of Hollywoodland began during the summer of 1954.

Logan Paul has managed to keep himself out of headlines for the past several weeks, but now a plus-size model named Eliza Johnson is speaking out about about how horrible she felt after being used a human bicycle in his November 2017 “No Handlebars” music video. Yes, you heard that right — Logan literally rode on Eliza’s back like she was the base of a bike and put the video on YouTube.

The music video is a parody of a song called “Handlebars,” which was released in 2008. Eliza had no idea what project she was working on when she was cast and discovered who Logan was just hours before they started filming.

Eliza opened up about her experience with Psychology Today saying QUOTE “We got on set and he came up and said, ‘Have you heard of a human bicycle?’ We didn’t know the song, we didn’t know anything. […] I’m the base of the bike. He was riding on top of my back the whole video. We’re on a little trolley that they rigged up to a truck pulling us, and we did that five or six times, and we went about 200 meters each time. I was standing there trying to keep my balance with Logan on my back jumping all over and holding only another model as we’re being pulled by this car.”

The model says they filmed her scene “so many times [her] legs almost gave out” but while she was uncomfortable from the beginning, she didn’t realize how degrading the whole thing was until she saw the final version when Logan posted it to YouTube.

She said QUOTE “I felt kind of abused. Of course, I felt ashamed and when something like this happens and we kind of become victimized, we don’t really realize it, we want to just block it out, or say maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s not happening. It’s a very confusing type of thing to experience. There was a making-of video prior to the actual video coming out. They’re filming us and he’s [saying], ‘Okay, this is how you do it,’ and I was just laughing because I just couldn’t even believe what was going on. I thought, I just really hope this ends up being a really funny satire. Because he kept saying it was going to epic, it was going to be great. I was not aware of what he stood for.”

Eliza also points out that she was the only plus-size model among a roster of eight or nine women and thinks the fact that she was the one used as the base of the bike was to QUOTE “make a mockery of everything.” And to make matters even worse, she eventually found out she was being paid hundreds of dollars less than the other women featured in the videos. Luckily she was eventually able to address the issue with producers and get equal pay.

Do you ever just want to grab Logan Paul scream ‘WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!’ Because I’m feeling that way more and more lately. There are so many issues with Eliza’s experience and while it’s great that she’s speaking out to hopefully prevent other people from going through something similar, it’s still so sad that she had to deal with it at all. Do you think Logan will respond to Eliza’s interview? Should she expect an apology?
