Seems like too many stories, via too many angles to Mockingbird well. Ukraine, GCHG, Comey, Declas, now a FBI CI etc. Too many fires...

Amazing that Obama would pick "Renegade" as his Secret Service Code Name, when he campaigned on being a Unifier and Peace-maker.
The (noun) definition of Renegade is the same definition used for Traitor.
SS chose it for him.
It is interesting that one of the most vocal, articulate and high energy MAGA/DJT folks is Dan Bongino - Secret Service.

I was just going to ask who chooses the SS name for Potus. Looking back on that may provide something.
There seems to be a bit of mystery surrounding how Secret Service code names are chosen. Historian Michael Beschloss explained the process during an interview for NPR. He shared that people who are under Secret Service protection actually get a say in what they’re called. “Usually, a president or anyone else who’s protected gets a list of possible code names, and they get to choose. And if it’s something too awful they can choose something else,” said Beschloss. The list of names are provided by the White House Communications Agency, reports the Chicago Tribune.
The US Central Intelligence Agency created an Instagram account on Thursday and picked an image that depicts the agency's clandestine nature for its first post.
In the picture, various items are scattered across what appears to be an office cubicle.
But as the picture's cryptic caption suggests, many of them have a hidden meaning.
Michael S. Rogers.

This may have been covered. US Navy patent for UFO/USO. Looks like Aurora.

Space Force. Normally patents are issued for things that work. DOD approves this being seen for public consumption.
Ready to fly it my friend?
President-Elect Barack Obama – 'Renegade' – had a say in choosing the code name that his guards use when they are whispering into their microphones.
And in keeping with the tradition of having all family members' code names start with the same letter, future first lady Michelle Obama is 'Renaissance', and daughters Sasha and Malia are known as 'Rosebud' and 'Radiance'......
Ronald Reagan, who cultivated a swaggering cowboy image on the big screen in his early career, was code-named 'Rawhide'. Jimmy Carter, a Sunday School teacher, was named 'Deacon'. Vice-president Dick Cheney, who likes to fish, became 'Angler'.
John McCain, the four-term senator from Arizona who was Mr Obama's Republican presidential rival, was 'Phoenix'. His fashion-conscious wife, Cindy, was 'Parasol'.
When the Queen visits the United States, she is code named 'Kittyhawk', Prince Charles is called 'Unicorn', and Pope John Paul II was known as 'Halo'.
Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
Of the wanted man The wanted man
