Cyber Strikes, Thomas Bossert, Atlantic Council
The Washington Post reported that President Trump approved offensive cyber strikes against Iranian computer systems used for missile launches. Former Homeland Security Advisor Thomas Bossert, now an ABC News analyst and Atlantic Council fellow, commented on the operation's role in defending shipping lanes. The hosts identify Bossert as a "spook" and a placeholder for the deep state, noting his departure from the administration coincided with John Bolton's arrival.
