Earlier this morning Senator Chuck Grassley (Senate Finance Committee Chairman), appeared with Maria Bartiromo to discuss conflicts for documents between the legislative oversight committees, and ongoing stonewalling efforts by current FBI Director Christopher Wray and current CIA Director Gina Haspel.
Senator Grassley and Senator Johnson are seeking the communication from former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and officials within the DOJ and FBI surrounding the investigative targeting of candidate Trump and President Trump. [LINK] Additionally, both Grassley and Johnson are seeking internal documents connected to former CIA Director John Brennan and current CIA Director Gina Haspel.
During the interview Grassley states the non-compliance with oversight may be due to former and current officials participating in a conspiracy to target the office of the president:

The proverbial rabbit hole deepens…
President Trump is the only leader I can think of who has survived this long with this many traitors around him. It is truly remarkable. He put them all in place so he takes much of the responsibility. It would have been so much easier to have loyal people in those positions in the first place. Gina Haspel is especially irritating because the President had to know who she was prior to her being appointed CIA Director. She was London Station Chief in 2016.
This has been the pattern of the administration since day one. Hire/keep traitors and in some cases get rid of seemingly good people. This has always seemed strange to me. I have a hard time understanding it.
The left would claim that “Obama suffered much more…. so much racism and name calling”??
You reminded me … Weren’t we occasionally treated to lamestream stories about how the threats against the Sainted One, according to the Secret Service, were many times higher than any previous president? What strikes me now is that at the time, I felt like those stories were probably true, but now? No. I don’t believe them at all.
I have pondered this phenomenon for 4 years. PDJT is either spectacularly incompetent at hiring high level officials, gets really bad advice or has a strange desire to self destruct. I suspect it is some combination of the first two possibilities.
If one wanted to give Trump the benefit of the doubt it would seem that he gets really bad advice, especially from RINO party officials and swamp rats like China Mitch. To a large extent the Senate Majority Leader sits in the catbird seat when it comes to nominations and Trump won’t nominate someone that Mitch doesn’t like just to get smacked down in committee or lose a floor vote.
Haspel goes back to CIA and cover up of torture years ago during Bush I believe. Haspel was real tight with Brennan. Pompeo put her in as CIA head when he went to State. Interesting. Now CIA is stonewalling,,,,how about DOS stonewalling??? Pence, Pompeo, Kushner all hanging around WH staffers,,,,,,Some many traitors, so few loyalists out there.
Time to double prayer efforts. So much more corruption coming out soon.
Forgot about the Pompeo connection. That globalist swamp rat is ex CIA and absolutely not to be trusted yet Trump makes him Sec. of State. Sometimes I wonder if anyone in the Whitehouse can be trusted.
I don’t understand why Trump doesn’t just fire Haspel and Wray and be done with it.
He’s weeks away from the end of the election voting. Even if he wins it will be challenged and contested. I am convinced he cannot proceed to flush this swamp until all these obstacles of his re-election are cleared. If he starts chopping heads immediately after the election they will pounce with fury to deconstruct the results in a full blown insurrection.
Should our President somehow lose, he will have to act fast to demand release. If he loses (Dear God forbid) they will really stonewall with every weapon at their disposal.
Everything, EVERYTHING, depends on his clear victory and 4 more years. Holding the Senate is also critical. Winning the House back would be a bonus.
While I do think it will be closer than we’d like, I’m convinced the current polls showing a large Biden lead are pure suppression polls designed to discourage Trump turnout. In 2016 they did the same thing but it caused too many Dims to stay home. They “solved” that with cheat by mail for lazy dependent lugs.
I don’t believe that there will be discouraged Trump turn out, if anything the opposite, more people are determined, and more people are less afraid to show their support for him, at least where I live. Now how many of the Trump votes are thrown in garbage bags, rivers, and dumps we will never know.
Do you think it will benefit Trump in any post-election scenario to have Chris Wray at FBI running agents and investigations and Gina Haspel at CIA running agents to help Trump win any contested election scenarios?
Can you explain to me the benefits of having Wray & Haspel around during this period?
Personally, I’d suggest leaving them there is dangerous.
Do you really think supporters of President Trump are going to vote for Biden if he fires Chris Wray or Gina Haspel?
Explain to me why anyone voting for Trump would flip out and vote for Biden because Wray got fired in October for obstruction of justice?
Trump doesn’t know in advance they will be bad until they turn out to be so. He didn’t know her personally and took advice from ‘trusted’ advisors.Then you have to contend with Mitch McConnell.
Trump needs to make McConnel and offer he can’t refuse.
Haspel’s is bigger than Brennan’s in more ways than one. Remember how easy her confirmation was for Democrats and RINOS.
Don’t know how complete the information is, but Robert Barnes said on the viva frei stream, a week ago, that bob corker was doing a lot of the hiring for the PTrump administration. Can’t imagine PTrump would be that blind, but a lot of his picks have been head scratchers.
Did you ever stop to think that there could be a third possibility–that the talent pool from which he has to choose from is, unfortunately, not deep? Ric Grenell is only one man and until we can clone a dozen or two of him, Trump (and by extension, us) is kinda stuck with degrees of swamp creature syndrome infecting the person in a position.
The ultimate blame for the hiring of the likes of Wray and Haspel does land at President Trump’s desk. BUT who, inside the Trump Team, convinced the President that these 2 Deep Cesspoolers should be given the jobs.
You forget..Hes not a politician..but a Business man..He didnt know all those people..In the beginning after hiring and firing alot of people..he said…ITS HARD TO FIND ANYONE DECENT HERE …
George 1;
I had hoped that everyone SEEING the convoluted maneuver PDJT had to go thru, in order to get Ratcliffe appointed as OF I, would edumacate everyone on how Swamp works, when it comes to Presidential appointments, but alas some still don’t get it.
McConnell controls the Senate with an Iron Hand, and NOBODY in the Swamp crosses McConnell.
Witness how it only takes ONE Senator, to move to recess, which would allow PDJT to make recess appointments, but none will.
McConnells staff tells PDJT’s staff “Here’s who can get confirmed” implying that “gee, Majority leader McConnell would LIKE to help you out, but it’s the Senate, you see!”
Reality is, it’s McConnell. He DICTATES to PDJT WHO he will confirm, and who he won’t.
PDJT has been fighting this battle from day one. For awhile, he tried the strategy of just using “acting”, but that hobbled his administration.
He used the Grennel gambit, to FORCE McConnell to confirm Ratcliffe, by Grennel being such a pain in the *as, that McConnell decided it was easier for him to reverse his earlier decision NOT to confirm Ratcliffe, than to have Grennel stay in place.
Were you not paying attention, or you just didn’t understand?
McConnell has made this big deal about appointing Judges, but it covers for the reality that McConnell is continuing to tie up DJT’s appointees, as they are low on priority, due to the focus on Judges.
For instance, there is a nominee for FCC, sitting in committee, that McConnell is leaving there.
Awhile back, PDJT was having a press conference, and had Sec. Purdue there, was talking about efforts they were making to keep America’s food supply chains flowing, and emphasised how a KEY position for this, was waiting for Senate confirmation.
McConnell has been undermining PDJT’s agenda, from day one, by dictating to him who he has to take, as Sec. of various Dept’s, and PDJT either has to accept these traitors, or leave the positions unfilled.
Either way, he is undermined by McConnell.
Understand?
Hi Dutchman,
IMO We seem to be attracting a few white ants into the CTH woodwork!
I wish we had a way of determining their original join dates etc.
Wlbeattie: The answer in my case is a few.years. Shortly after Trump came down the escalator.
Well Dutchman, I have never said that I am that bright or possess a great attention span. I am aware of the problem with the Turtle. However I would rather have a temp take the jobs even for only a few months than hire traitors. There are literally millions of great people in this country who would answer the call and then leave to be replaced by others.
Not an ideal way to handle things but better than having people like Haspel in these positions. Oh and I am not a white ant either if I take your friend’s meaning correctly. But continue with the snide remarks if you want.
Spot on
I understand.
If McConnell is ever up for re-election you can bet Trump will make sure there is a HEAP OF DIRT released on McConnell & Elaine Chao.
Of course, it won’t be connected to Trump at all, but he will be “reluctantly forced” to fire Elaine Chao for this corruption.
Trump will also “reluctantly” be forced to endorse a Primary opponent against McConnell because his hands are tied etc.
Obviously a primary opponent endorsed by Trump will destroy McConnell in any Republican Primary.
At that point McConnell is finished.
By the way – do you know when McConnell is up for re-election?
It seems he never is!
I’m sure Trump has a plan like this gamed out to get rid of McConnell. He simply must as McConnell is obviously his biggest roadblock and now that Trump controls the Intel agencies he can definitely dig up all the dirt on McConnell & Elaine Chao to get rid of both of them.
So anyway, when is McConnell up for re-election?
When can Trump primary him out of the Senate??!?!?!
We all know Trump loves revenge and will enjoy doing McConnell slowly.
McConnel just won and election in 2020 and the President didnt say anything negative against Mitch..but maybe wanted to but has so much on his plate right now…you just have to choose your battles…WE THE PEOPLE can see whats going on with MITCH.
Excellent summation of McConnell’s intransigence and resistance to President Trump’s nominees. Of course, Trump knows this and one can only surmise he has a plan to counter this. My thought is that Trump could use the Grenell gambit again, or possibly use the ongoing declassification as a bargaining tool. There’s political dynamite in those documents. Perhaps could make McConnell an offer he can’t refuse.
It is almost as if McConnell is acting like a recruitment consultant and taking a % of pay or some kind of tithe or contribution into perhaps one of his entirely legal funds. Failing that, the giving of Uncle Mitch’s mandatory advice.
“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”
Please dump that dumb as dirt quote.
I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!
You sound butthurt. Sundance has some cream for that over by the door.
Wasnt she Kansas’ pick?
The question is who is advising the President to appoint these people. He has to stop listening to them.
Maybe he has stopped listening to them..Hes fired those who are against all of us who voted for Trump..and has hired some really good people who will not allow these rioters to destroy this nation…THESE RIOTS ARE AN ACT OF WAR…AGAINST THE NATION..AND AGAINST THE PEOPLE…they are MURDERING..and beating up people..and plot even more evil against us…saying they are going to take down our names and punish us for voting for Trump….
LOL..go ahead..all Trump families are locked and loaded…They will have a big surprise waiting for these childish acting barbarians..
OH..BY THE WAY…
ANTIFA is not a new Idea as LYIN BIDEN RIDING THE RED DRAGON said…
ANTIFA EXISTED IN THE BOLSHEVIK WAR IN RUSSIA…THE USSR..OVER 100 YEARS AGO..
Someone better get Mr Lying Biden up to date on his info…BUT THEN AGAIN..HE CALLED DONALD TRUMP GEORGE…lmao
Praying that PDJT is re-elected and we hold the Senate , PDJT will clean house from the CIA/ FBI / NSA, etc. Then, their corruption and sedition will be exposed and HOPEFULLY, convictions obtained. Wray and Haspel are human garbage .
He is already doing so I believe..He left Christopher Wray and Gina Haspel out of a big meeting that they would have normally attended…They were not invited…
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
The only way to protect the INSTITUTIONS is to clean out the corruption.
But that implies friends will get embarrassed, some sent to jail, our party invites would end, our kids wouldn’t get into Harvard or Yale, we’d lose some Board of Director appointments, I wouldn’t be invited to speak or write books, we wouldn’t be invited to the Pedo outings and our house won’t appear in the Christmas Walk-around. Therefore, let the Deplorables rot away!
She was in London the whole time. Of course she knew. Either that or she is the most incompetent CIA head ever to fill the seat.
They could not have run a CIA operation in London without her knowledge and approval. Any FBI operation would also have to be with her knowledge.
She has been laying low like spooks are known to do. Now we find she was participating in the coverup.
DeWalt-I have suspected Haspel of being a rat for some time AND there is no reason why she cannot be a rat AND incompetent at the same time.
Soooo weird. Haspel lives in Ashburn Virginia. I used to see her around town years ago.
She must be hiden with Biden now
For Grassley to even say that out loud indicates she’s on the way out.
We are the Republicans hear us…huff and puff and blow your house down. Perhaps you did not hear it clearly…gonna huff..gonna puff…gonna blow… Come on guys we’re serious. I’ll hufffffff…
amen
Yup, and then says “Gee, it’s not up to me, ask Graham.
Ultimately, of coarse it’s McConnell.
If subpoenas are ignored, Congress CAN sue in court, for production of documents or to compel witness testimony.
Traditionally, the Speaker authorises such lawsuits, on behalf of Congress.
However, the SENATE could initiate such a suit on its own, if the Speaker declines.
Ryan refused to authorise such suits, when he held the gavel, despite requests from Nunes.
And of coarse Nanzi is going to refuse.
But through it all, McConnell has been SILENT, and yet no Senator farts without McConnells permission, HE is the roadblock, and Graham and Grassley are simply playing kabuki theater, to delude the ignorant peons, by creating the ILLUSION that they are doing something, while doing NOTHING.
Because Republicans Congressional Leadership was IN on the coup, from day ONE, and continue to support the ongoing coup, and lack of accountability for the ever expanding “small group”.
Mike in a Truck-You make a very good point-depressing- but still a very good point.
Agree.
Why did Grassley hire Haspel to head the CIA in the first place?
But beyond that, why doesn’t Grassley FIRE HASPEL now?
Dang Republicants!! Why doesn’t Grassley DO these things?!? What is he waiting for? Does Grassley really think it will be an asset for him to have Haspel in position in the event of a contested election?
Any participation in a cover up should be an additional crime or a sentencing enhancement. Just add 5 years to their prison sentence.
Conspiracy to obstruct justice? I’m no legal expert, but it sure seems as if it should be criminal.
I’d suppose there are exemptions for an unwitting accomplice. If you’re sending texts and emails about covering this crap up, well, I think you should go to jail.
Well… “if you’re sending e-mails about covering this crap up you should certainly ….disappear… OK we’ll call it “going to jail”.
I accidently relied when I meant to forward this post! I’m SO sorry about that , please forgive me!

So Lyndsay Graham says no laws were broken regarding the Coup against President Trump.
So Sedition is not a crime….. according to the Traitor SOBs. Two Tier (No) Justice system firmly protected.
Wow, Grassley is finally coming to this conclusion?
Hello good Senator… Call a F$#ING recess so Trump can make some proper appointments… Your inability to do that shows that the biggest conspiracy of ALL is in the SENATE.
Sure you’d have to sacrifice your cushy seat because Mitch will refuse to fund your campaign, well, isn’t it well worth it? Come on SENATORS isn’t anyone willing to sacrifice for the common good?
Jeez Grassley, you are what, 110 years old? Retire by political Hara-Kiri already!
Senators are individually convinced that they are so important that without each of them remaining all hell breaks loose. Sorry boys, you’re NOT indispensable. Someone, please do the right thing.
Heard a joke the other day:
Q: What do you call a group of 100 people conspiring against the President of the United States?
A: The US Senate
——–
Potential workaround for Trump-
Gather the 10 best people you know and make temporary appointments from that bunch and play musical chairs every 210 (or whatever number) of days allowed by law.(Get Grenell back in there!)
Keep those 10 in the system long enough and they will have taken in quite a bit of multi-departmental knowledge, thereby breaching the departmental divides and being much more likely to gain understanding of all the tricky obfuscation that goes on by keeping those departments ignorant of each other’s works/shenanigans.
Does anyone know if a temp appt. can be re-appointed to the same dept. after a gap in service?
How long is the required gap? Hell, if it’s short enough, move the folks during D.C. downtime, and move them back asap.
Trump wins and Gina is stale toast at the last truck stop. That said, it is great news but a bit worrisome, The CIA has shown how weaponized they are, experts at bringing governments down. Not a problem with that until they point their weapons at US (not the U.S. Mind you). Which by the way they already did to us once (2016).
Gina is a consummate expert at doing that.
I question whether the CIA does more good or more bad for the country. They seem to be mighty corrupt.
Surely, Grenell and perhaps others, can recommend good people to support Pres Trump in essential positions which are supposed to protect the United States.

What is this about Benghazi and the cover-up of the six seals?
Is this legit?

Anna
Khait joins Gary Franchi to breakdown her bombshell tweet that is going viral across the web, “BREAKING: Allen Harrow Parrot (CIA whistleblower) tells Charles Woods (father of Tyrone Woods killed in Benghazi) that Obama and Biden sent Iran 152 Billion Dollars as a coverup for the deaths of Seal Team 6. Allen said that ALL of the proof will come out: documents and audio.” She’s heard the audio and it implicates top Obama officials.
New revelations about the Bin Laden “Trophy kill,” Seal Team 6 executions, and the Benghazi debacle are coming out. The main point is that Bin Laden was held in Iran under house arrest during the post 9/11 years, and part of Obama years with full knowledge of these administrations.
Here are some recent document and video links regarding this:
Phone recording between Allan Parrot, Congressman Curt Weldon,
and attorney Brian Ettinger. (Friend of Joe Biden) It is evidence that Bin Laden was held
in Iran for many years under house arrest

For those wondering about the Conservation letter head — CIA whistleblower Alan Parrot was a falcon trainer as a cover, so he could infiltrate the highest offices in the Middle East. He trained royals etc.
VEry interesting report. It would be great if this information could blow Obama, Biden, and Clinton to smithereens.
Grassley and Johnson late again to the party. And just read that there will be no charges associated with the unmaking investigation (Bash now gone). Needless to say I am totally over this S%%t!
Yes I was shocked..heard the Bash boy resigned 10/6….abruptly…This is Barrs worst Messaging ever if the Wapo report true..

Thank God for Gina Haspel refusing to give the criminal politicians the documents. She’s putting a firewall up so that these criminal politicians can’t head off their indictments/politicians with fake news leaked to the media. Same for Chris Wray refusing to turn over documents for the same reason. I want the swamp drained not given ammunition to slip through Lady Justice’s fingers..
NO NO NO worthless Senator Grassley – she IS part of the conspiracy, not MAY be.
IS!
London CIA Director. She was neck deep in the conspiracy and now she IS blocking classified documents for release and your action towards this is LETTERS requesting the release with no consequences. Worthless and weak!
How pathetic and insulting to us!
It would much easier to find out who wasn’t a part of it….DJT and his family and that’s about it. The rest were either in on it, knew it was going on or are on the take. We don’t have enough rope to hang them all. The Clancy book about plane into the Capital comes to mind….

Don’t be scared, Gina. Barr ain’t gonna anyone lay a glove on you. You’re clear.
Of course she was involved. She was the CIA’s London Station Chief on May 10, 2016, the date of the Downer/Papadopoulos “chance meeting” in London during which Downer claimed Papadopoulos told him the Russians had Hillary Clinton’s “missing” e-mails, setting off Crossfire Hurricane. “Coincidentally,” Bill Priestap, FBI chief for counter-intelligence, was also in London that day. I don’t suppose the two were overseeing the stage managed meeting or anything.
There is one way to test the loyalty of Gina: hand her a gun and instruct her to take out John Brennan her former boss. Gina where does your loyalty lie?, with this treasonous COMMUNIST BASTARD who was instrumental with the cabal to remove a duly elected President of the people or are you a patriot. Removing Brennan would save the tax payers a lot of money considering the inevitable or maybe send them both along with WRAY and Rosenstien to Gitmo to play cribbage(or what ever they do down there) in their final days before judgement.
Always possible she is malevolent and incompetent.
“May” … Oh that’s rich. Who would have every of thought John Brennan’s hand picked London station Chief would be in on it?
A barrel of laughs at the barrel of monkeys.
