Startling allegations have come forth involving former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and a clandestine intelligence operation that reportedly shifted from national defense to domestic surveillance and corruption.
The whistleblower clip, from a larger interview conducted January 9, 2021, details the evolution of “Operation Ghost Stories,” originally a successful FBI operation aimed at surveilling Russian assets within the United States.
According to the speaker, Jon McGreevy (who worked undercover as “Ryan Dark White”), although the Obama administration officially ordered the operation canceled during the “Russian Reset,” it actually continued under Rosenstein.
Quote: “It was Obama and Biden who did the Russian Reset, along with Secretary Clinton, and they didn’t want any problems with the Russians (inaudible) so they told them [United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland] to cancel it. Well, they didn’t. They kept their communication open with them, it just changed.”
McGreevy alleged that the operation’s nature changed from pure surveillance to a “pay-for-play” intelligence exchange. Subsequently, he claimed, instead of just providing information to the Russians, the group began providing them with altered information, “working them from the other side.”
The Russians offered money to Rosenstein, said McGreevy, but Rosenstein refused. He said Rosenstein was “hyper-pissed” when he discovered Bridges was taking money independently, leading to Bridges’ imprisonment—which McGreevy characterized as a way to keep him quiet about the secret operation
The whistleblower also linked the operation to Shaun Bridges, a former Secret Service agent. Bridges was officially prosecuted for stealing Bitcoin during the Silk Road investigation, “multi-agency group investigating illegal activity on the Silk Road, a covert online marketplace for illicit goods, including drugs” (U.S. Department of Justice press release, November 7, 2017, https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/former-secret-service-agent-sentenced-scheme-related-silk-road-investigation). However, McGreevy claimed Bridges was actually in trouble for laundering money he was paid from the Russian intelligence exchange, an action that could have bounced back onto Rosenstein, who was angling for higher political office.
Quote: “Well, Shaun Bridges was actually taking the money they were offering — he was laundering it through bitcoin around the world — and Rod was hyper-pissed when he found out. It’s one of the reasons he went after Shaun and put him in jail. He’s still there. [Note: Bridges was released after the recording of this video, in Oct. 2021 – DB]. And so the deal was ‘You get six years, keep your mouth shut or we’ll go after you for everything and get 40.”
These allegations might be less then credible except that McGreevy (1968-2023) did work for Rosenstein during the latter’s tenure as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland. “White’s” status as a Confidential Human Source (CHS) was verified by a 2015 Motion to Seal signed by Rosenstein himself, which stated White was “assisting law enforcement in an unrelated investigation.” (He was known on social media as JohnHereToHelp; he has an earlier X account called “RodIsGuilty.”)
McGreevy, under his persona as “White,” stated Rosenstein’s “Dirty Tricks Squad” targeted the journalist Sharyl Attkisson. She wrote:
“White had admitted to being part of one of the government surveillance operations against me. He provided us some details, some of which we were able to verify, and then disappeared….White said the rogue group he worked with under then-US Attorney Rod Rosenstein spied on ‘hundreds’ of US citizens. I just happened to have sources who helped me prove it, in part by unearthing unique government IP addresses in my computer used as part of the surveillance. White said the group included then-Secret Service agent, Shaun Bridges, who was later convicted and sent to prison in a separate government corruption case.” (Attkisson, Nov. 27, 2023, https://sharylattkisson.com/2023/11/the-untimely-death-of-a-witness-and-defendant-in-govt-spying-on-me)
Sharyl Attkisson is widely credited with breaking the Operation Fast and Furious scandal to a national audience through her investigative reporting for CBS News. Her coverage, which earned her an Emmy Award, was the first to feature ATF whistleblowers like John Dodson, who revealed that the agency had intentionally allowed firearms purchased in the United States to “walk” into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. The scandal gained national infamy after guns from the program were recovered following the December 2010 murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Attkisson has long maintained that her computers were compromised with “planted material” placed there by individuals using government IP addresses. The OIG’s forensic examination did find signs of unauthorized interaction on one of the laptops. However, the report stated this did not necessarily prove a “remote intrusion.” If her computer was intentionally compromised by Rosenstein, this would be evidence of the Obama administration carrying out political reprisal against her.
McGreevy under his alter persona wrote on X: “One of the DOJ computer experts I know personally, their specialty was hacking, altering, and planting evidence on computers. For example, someone with assets they wanted to seize suddenly c– p– is found on their drive. Assets seized, they plead guilty to less charge.” – March 1, 2018 https://x.com/RodisGuilty/status/969370287606325249?s=20
McGreevy’s death in 2023 is highly suspicious at best. His words remain with us and can be investigated.
This case serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities surrounding government overreach and the protection of whistleblowers.
