We know that Trump’s last Director of White House Personnel was his former caddy and body man. Qualified, no, but loyal to Trump, which is the only qualification needed for all of these jobs, yes. This newest guy, Sergio Gor, is somewhat of a mystery. Originally, he said he was from Malta. But the Maltese don’t know who he is. One reason is because while Gor, or whatever his real name is, is in charge of vetting job applicants, he hasn’t vetted himself.
“…three administration insiders told The Post that the vetter-in-chief has not turned in his Standard Form 86, or SF-86 — a more than 100-page set of questions required for officials who need security clearances.”
“Among the questions applicants must answer under threat of criminal penalties is where they were born and whether they have any foreign connections.”
“Gor claims to be from the island country of Malta, though an official there could not confirm his birthplace when provided his exact birthday, saying:
“No acts are registered with the provided details.”
Investigative cybercrime reporter Brian Krebs is a big deal in investigating cybercriminals, especially Russian cybercriminals. He found something very interesting by searching data breach records:
-
Gor once used the rather unique and long password: 961649507273 for his email address, [email protected],
-
Coincidentally, that same password was used with a few other email addresses, including:
In case you don’t know, .ru means domains were registered in Russia. And the odds that someone with a very similar name would use the exact same and rather odd password is vanishingly small.
And one more thing: [email protected] has multiple entries in Russian government databases for a Sergey Anatolyevich Goryachev, DOB, Nov. 20, 1980, phone +79689210000. This person appears to have lived in Saratov, RU and has a tax ID number.
This is not yet on krebsonsecurity.com, but you can read it on his Linkedin.
Which brings us to the final questions:
-
Why can’t Gor’s claimed country of birth, Malta, find any details of his birth?
-
Will TFG demand Gor’s long-form birth certificate?
-
If it turns out that Gor was indeed born in Russia and lied about it, will that trigger reviews of any vettings that he personally approved/expedited?
As I’ve said before, so much of this seems like an especially deranged black comedy. But this is real. DOGE stealing all our data is real; this mystery man in charge of hiring people at the White House is real, Trump putting up a couple of flag poles that are as crooked as he is, it’s all real.
As for me, I just keep repeating Nikita Khrushchev’s line to myself: “We will take you over without firing a shot. We will take you over from within.” Seems to be working out that way, doesn’t it?
💯 even Congress is compromised. Tulsi…
Retraction: Krebs later retracted his initial findings, citing a “critical error” in his analysis. Specifically, he stated that he mistook a dash for a dot in the Gmail address when conducting his research. He deleted the posts containing the erroneous analysis and apologized for leading anyone astray.….
Transcript of retraction
“I updated my thread about Gor just now, and wanted to make a note separately to call out that I screwed up this analysis in a critical way. It’s never my intention to cast aspersions or spread rumors. I only started looking because he has been so coy about his origins so far. But I do appreciate being able to share my research and get feedback from this awesome community.
I’m sorry if my posts caused any problems for anyone.”
Well, I saw Krebs’ apology but he didn’t exactly apologize for or even mention the main concern of his story: Has Gor filled out his REQUIRED security paperwork or not?
It wouldn’t matter in the slightest if he was a Russian agent or has an absolutely squeaky clean record if the man has not filled out the REQUIRED security paperwork, especially as the man is himself in charge of vetting job applicants.
For an administration that is so demanding of “proper paperwork” (remember, the Drumpf people are basically going to a status of “papers please” of ANYONE they “suspect” of not being a citizen), it’s beyond scandalous that the guy who’s in charge of vetting people for jobs has not submitted the REQUIRED paperwork for him to do HIS job.
Again. Whether Gor is a Russian agent or not is just a little bit of salacious gossip but the fact that he has NOT followed the law to do his job should NOT be overlooked or ignored because Krebs “mistook” a bit of punctuation.
His birth certificate must be in the same folder as Obama’s Kenyan certificate we heard about for years. Still waiting for that “explosive evidence”. Surprised? Nope. After all, orangebob shitpants stood in front of the world in Helsinki and told us CLEARLY he was putin’s puppet. Nothing has changed. Remember their religion…HYPOCRISY.
O/T, but relevant. From thegrayzone.com:
“Four senior executives at Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI have been formally appointed lieutenant colonels in the US Army following the creation of a “special” unit created for rich Big Tech mavens seeking military leadership roles.”
If these four men plan to offer their “expertise” to the Army, they can do it as civilian consultants. Whatever the reason is that they were given (i.e. unearned) high-ranking positions within the military, it can’t be good. And I would bet that they were able to bypass security clearances.
