One of Charles Johnson's FBI Informant Reports Pertaining to Ghislaine Maxwell

What happened here?

Before we take a closer look at this report, from which the only thing I’ve redacted is phone numbers, I want to confirm that former SA Johnathan Buma is not the one who leaked it. I have no special knowledge that would indicate he did, though he may be in the process of being set up to be blamed for it. This document strips all identifying information, though it could probably be pieced together. We know it’s Charles Johnson.

Charles has told me this report has been massaged. He claims never to have said anything about Ghislaine Maxwell and the Kleiner Perkins party. For the record, he says, “I believe that Johnathan Buma and other FBI agents faced pressure from headquarters to ‘get Ghislaine Maxwell’ and stop the next Epstein.”

We can tell the CHS is Charles for a few reasons besides just the fact that he told me it’s him and Buma was his handler. Charles was also an intern for Alan Dershowitz, and the claim that the Prince Andrew photo was doctored was also one I think he was the only person to publish in the U.S.

I’ve reached out to Alan Dershowitz on Signal about this, who joined Maxwell’s team in asking for a pardon for her. And I’ve reached out to Jared Birchall, Elon Musk’s Mormon sherpa as well.

So if there are things in here that aren’t true, that could imply a few things. Buma’s boss was the Albanian Susana Iljazi, who would be worth a call. Ketrin Adam, whose name is on this, received a director’s award in 2024, and she was more recently moved to work on InfraGard, the FBI’s private sector coordination program.

It would certainly hardly surprise me to find out that, in relation to a guy like Thor Halvorssen, who has always given me really creepy vibes, Ghislaine Maxwell looks fairly tame.

In terms of the politics of the FBI, the Musk details are also highly interesting. Musk engaged in a systematic compromise of federal law enforcement. He’s been doing this for a long time. His first father-in-law was the head of the National Crime Unit in the UK. Most troublingly, he hired Andy McCabe’s son, the former FBI deputy director, who no doubt became the liaison between the Bureau and the Musk network.

Charles has also told me the CHS program has a backdoor by which the Israelis have been able to manipulate these files. This is something they would no doubt consider necessary as a deconfliction mechanism. But you don’t really want to give people working for a foreign government that kind of power over federal law enforcement. It also poses risks to the CHSs themselves. The new FBI director needs to clean up the CHS program, do a better job of protecting its sources, and ensure the integrity of this data.

And as far as the fate of Ms. Maxwell goes, a pardon should certainly not be considered unless and until the Israeli government falls apart, hopefully tomorrow.
