REVEALED: Former Hillary Clinton staffer turned FBI ‘spy hunter’ and DOD senior advisor claims to be plotting with retired Generals to ‘protect’ America from Trump: OMG

He believes that Trump will attempt to remain in office past the end of his term in the White House. "I predict Trump will probably entertain publicly the idea of staying in office, changing the laws to stay in office, which he's not allowed to do by Constitution, but he'll probably suggest it and there'll probably be an effort to try." This, Mannina believes, is in service to Trump's desire to not go to jail."

Mannina is a consultant senior advisor with the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Department of Defense, a former special agent with the FBI and a former special assistant to Hillary Clinton. When she lost the presidential election, he went to work with the FBI and became a spy hunter. He met Clinton when he was in college and worked for her at the State Department before going to the FBI where he specialized in catching Russian and Chinese spies. He was inspired to do this because he believed that they had compromised the 2016 US presidential election. Mannina believed that the 2016 election had not been fair or uncompromised by foreign agents.

When asked by his undercover date what he thought of President Donald Trump, he said "He's a sociopathic narcissist who is only interested in advancing his name, his wealth, and his fame. He's had a lifetime of cheating. He's habitually addicted to lying about himself."

The OMG reporter asked him if there was anything he "could do to protect the American people from stuff that he might try to do?"

"I'm in conversation with a couple of retired generals," Mannina said, "to try to explore what we can do."

She asked who the retired generals were, and Mannina said "they're like one, two, and three star generals and admirals." He said that there was a "Rear Admiral, another is a Major General in the Army." He said he talks to "quite a few" of them. Mannina was sure that had Kamala Harris won the presidential election he would have received a big job with National Security Leaders for America. That group, he said, was focused on "explaining the national security consequences of another Trump presidency."

"This organization tried to defeat Donald Trump. Tried to engage the American public, conducted hundreds of interviews," he said. Mannina said that he published over 100 opinion columns in newspapers across the country in furtherance of the mission to defeat Trump. Mannina wrote for the Huffington Post and The Hill in 2017, penning such articles as "Trump's actions are an assault on the Constitution." During the recent election cycle, Mannina did not write in his name but ghost-wrote for generals. When Trump won, Mannina was upset not only because of the "mission failure" but because he was hoping to further his career.

During a follow-up dinner date, Mannina told her "So I also have a big day tomorrow. Probably the biggest day of all." He detailed that he would be in "a huge, huge meeting with military leaders in a very secure room called the tank. So we have a tank meeting with like all the top, top leaders in the United States military tomorrow on my topic that I prepared."

He told her about the meeting after the fact, saying that the meeting "about artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, like quantum, cyber security," went well. As for the definition of "quantum," he said it was a type of super-fast computing that does not yet exist. This is the kind of work that Mannina performs at the Pentagon. This was a meeting three years in the making, Mannina said, and involved commanders of all the key regions of the world.

His message in that meeting, as revealed to the undercover journalist, was that the US needs "to take it seriously. We need to overcome a lot of bureaucratic obstacles. We need to work better with partners, international partners. We need to think creatively to avoid over-classification, which really prohibits the ability to share information across very quickly."

Some things, he said, in the intelligence world are "over-classified." He went on to say that "once you label it top secret, no one's going to see it. And we have to share this with another country because we need to fight together. You can't fight together with this inability to share war-fighting information.

Mannina had no kind words for Trump's Department of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth, saying that "He's cheated on all his wives, all his girlfriends. He's had some sexual assault allegations. He's an alcoholic. There's a lot of observations of him drinking."

At one point, Mannina asked the undercover reporter if she was a spy "trying to collect information." She assured him that she was not. Mannina revealed that he was "a little worried" about how he'd fit in under the new administration. "You've got me opening up," he said, "telling things I wouldn't normally tell."

When OMG sought to verify Mannina's claims, they reached out for comment to the Joint Staff of Public Affairs, who said that Mannina "is not an advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the Joint Chiefs, nor has be interacted with the Chairman or the Joint Chiefs." They did confirm that Mannina was a Booz Allen Hamilton contracted employee but firmly said that his comments do not reflect those of the Chairman or the Joint Staff.
