FBI Director James Comey unmasked as a Deep State Black Hat Operative.
Representative Elise M. Stefanik is a young, freshman republican congresswoman from the Albany New York area. And using a probative questioning timeline, she single-handily pulled the mask from FBI Director James Comey, yet no-one seemed to notice.
Obviously Ms. Stefanik has not been in the swamp long enough to lose her common sense.
In the segment of the questioning below Rep. Stefanik begins by asking director Comey what are the typical protocols, broad standards and procedures for notifying the Director of National Intelligence, the White House and senior congressional leadership (aka the intelligence Gang of Eight), when the FBI has opened a counter-intelligence investigation.
The parseltongue response from Comey is a generalized reply (with uncomfortable body language) that notification of counter-intel investigations are discussed with the White House, and other pertinent officials, on a calendar basis, ie. “quarterly”.
With the statement that such counter-intel notifications happen “generally quarterly”, and against the backdrop that Comey stated in July of 2016 a counter-intel investigation began, Stefanik asks:
…”when did you notify the White House, the DNI and congressional leadership”?
BOOM! Watch an extremely uncomfortable Director James Comey outright LIE… by claiming there was no active DNI -which is entirely false- James Clapper was Obama’s DNI.
.
Watch it again.
Watch that first 3:00 minutes again. Ending with:
…”Because of the sensitivity of the matter” ~ James Comey
Director Comey intentionally obfuscates knowledge of the question from Rep Stefanik; using parseltongue verbiage to get himself away from the sunlit timeline.
The counter-intel investigation, by his own admission, began in July 2016. Congress was not notified until March 2017. That’s an eight month period – Obviously obfuscating the quarterly claim moments earlier.
The uncomfortable aspect to this line of inquiry is Comey’s transparent knowledge of the politicized Office of the DNI James Clapper by President Obama. Clapper was used rather extensively by the Obama Administration as an intelligence shield, a firewall or useful idiot, on several occasions.
Anyone who followed the Obama White House intel policy outcomes will have a lengthy frame of reference for DNI Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan as the two primary political operatives. Brennan admitted investigating, and spying on, the Senate Intelligence Committee as they held oversight responsibility for the CIA itself.
The first and second questions from Stefanik were clear. Comey’s understanding of the questions was clear. However, Comey directly evaded truthful response to the second question. When you watch the video, you can see Comey quickly connecting the dots on where this inquiry was going.
There is only one reasonable explanation for FBI Director James Comey to be launching a counter-intel investigation in July 2016, notifying the White House and Clapper, and keeping it under wraps from congress. Comey was a participant in the intelligence gathering for political purposes – wittingly, or unwittingly.
As a direct consequence of this mid-thought-stream Comey obfuscation, it is now clear -at least to me- that Director Comey was using his office as a facilitating conduit for the political purposes of the Obama White House.
Unfortunately, a slightly nervous Stefanik, never forced Comey to go back to the non-answered question and respond by saying:
No, Mr. Comey, there WAS a DNI in place in 2016, please answer the question of when did you notify him (Clapper) and the White House?
….. then it would get a little ugly:
Why did you notify Clapper and the White House but delay congressional notification?
With all the banter about these hearings, and against this slight moment of clarity of purpose, it bears repeating:
There is only ONE KNOWN Factual and CRIMINAL activity currently identified: the unmasking and leaking of Mike Flynn’s name to the media.
FBI Director Comey states his organization is “investigating”. Fair enough, however – not a single congresscritter asked HIM if he is the source of the unmasking or leaks.
♦ How can a congressional committee conduct an investigation if they don’t know if the primary witness, the lead investigator, is the source of the leaks?
♦ Wouldn’t the very first step, the actual basis of the foundation for the investigation itself, be to ensure the person conducting the investigation did not participate in the illegality of the conduct being investigated?
Think.
Avoid the shiny things.
Why wouldn’t congress ask this simple question?
Admiral Mike Rogers answers that approximately 10-20 people within his NSA organization had the potential to unmask and/or leak to the media. Fair enough.
♦ Wouldn’t the first question as follow-up be to ask Admiral Mike Rogers if he is one of those numbered possibilities?
♦ Wouldn’t the second follow-up question, in an authentic inquiry, be to ask Mike Rogers: if he is one of the possibilities with access to that information, then was he actually the person who unmasked or leaked?
If Mike Rogers and James Comey admit they are in charge of two of the possible source organizations for leak activity (expressly known illegal behavior)… then what affirmative confidence has either person expressed to congress to ensure the inquiring body that they personally were not the originating source?
And why didn’t congress ask them?
Think.
There is NO PEA in this shell game of distraction.
Why didn’t congress ask them?
Occam’s Razor – Because the question(s), the brutally obvious question(s), then lead to the follow-up: If the only criminal activity is the sourcing of the leak, and the two people giving testimony are potential suspects in that criminal activity, then: A) How can we trust their testimony, and B) Why are we even having this hearing”? (with two people who are suspects in an ongoing investigation)…
The answers reveal the current intention of the intelligence committee is not to actually investigate, but rather to give the outward illusion of investigation.
If they were not merely giving an illusion…. Congress would be pointing out that FBI Director James Comey has a direct and specific conflict of interest that is so glaringly obvious it’s unfathomable no-one see it.
Director Comey, and to a lesser extent Rogers, would have been in direct contact with the prior administration individuals, and entities acting on their behalf, who were politicizing the information being gathered and lying about (ie. leaking to the media) the content therein.
“Because of the sensitivity of the matter” ~ James Comey
Didn’t Comey further claim in this hearing that lying about the content of (or even the existence of) a counter-intelligence investigation was not itself a criminal act? Hello?
That said, James Comey has an expressed interest in claiming an ongoing investigation exists (even if it doesn’t) just to ensure the prior administration contact and behavior was shielded behind the wall of “an ongoing investigation”. Comey says: “Because of the sensitivity of the matter”.. Where “the matter” is the politicized and entirely false information from the White House.
FBI Director James Comey has singularity of knowledge and has cleverly placed himself in a position where there is no “oversight” of his claims.
…”Because of the sensitivity of the matter” ~ James Comey
See how that works?
At one point in his political life Comey may have been a White Hat, but there’s no doubt his behavior is exactly what a black hat operative would be doing to shield his connection to the black hat activity of the prior administration.
Summary: Hillary Clinton political operatives manufactured the illusion of a computer connection between Russian entities (financial banks) and the Trump campaign/organization. Those manufactured points of evidence were then passed along to White House entities who used the political intel community (Clapper to Comey) to open an investigation of nothingness – to nowhere. The mere existence of that investigation was then used as the originating point for a series of media intel leaks (the narrative) intended to cloud and damage the Trump campaign/organization. FBI Director James Comey, as head of one of the investigative agencies, became part of that political apparatus. Now, usefulness exhausted and with the media engaged, it’s CYA time all around for the originating entities.
“Because of the sensitivity of the matter” ~ James Comey

What say you, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe?
To the Inquiring Members of Congress seeking the truth, perhaps consider a subpoena for FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Reportedly, McCabe held a meeting of FBI brass by invitation only to discuss Gen. Flynn in a negative manner. McCabe used some expletives to describe Gen. Flynn and President Trump, according to some agents in the meeting that didn’t agree with McCabe. Very shortly thereafter, Gen. Flynn was released of his duties.
The McCabe meeting may well be entirely Fake News or it may have been dishonestly portrayed but because the innuendo exists and due to the seriousness of the rhetoric McCabe reportedly used toward Gen. Flynn and President Trump, why not question him under oath? Because Congressmen such as Chavetz, Issa and Gowdy claim total commitment to getting the whole truth, perhaps McCabe, the #2 person in the FBI, may be able to answer some questions with more clarity than his boss did yesterday.
As some will remember, McCabe’s wife received several hundred thousand dollars to run for state office which failed but there was suggestion that Hillary campaign insiders contributed to Mrs. McCabe’s run and those donations appeared rather coincidentally with the FBI’s pondering of Hillary’s email scandal.

Here’s a question, maybe some here will know the answer…
Could it be that Comey was very up front about stating there is ongoing investigation into whether or not there was collusion between Team Trump and Russia because if he closes the case, then the contents are discoverable by certain entities? in other words, as long as the case stays open, it’s considered ongoing and no comments or testimony can be made about a case in that status? If that happens to be true, he can leave the case open indefinitely and never have to come clean on who he’s talked to, what was said or any payers involved. Is that theory way off base?
Sure looks like Comey knows exactly who unmasked Gen. Flynn which is why he won’t assure us the FBI will pursue the felon(s) who did it. He knows, and whomever it is, the person (s) are too close to home. Same deal with Hillary’s emails. He acknowledged she made major errors but he didn’t believe her wrongdoing was intentional so she walked free and clear. In the case of the felony committed against Gen. Flynn, Comey admits it was illegal to unmask a private citizen but he doesn’t seem to have the necessary interest to pursue it. He is very selective in which laws he believes should be followed and which don’t matter. His philosophy lines up well with Obama’s Admin.

FBI Director Comey repeated several times that these ‘investigations’ could take a long time and gave many ‘no comment’ type answers. Therefore, you are on to something and the ‘engineered narrative’ can and will continue.
If the Republicans and Trump Admin can hammer down and apply pressure and start the ‘elimination’ process of who had access to the masked documents. They will eventually have to give someone up. IMO – they could very well be looking to scapegoat some low-level employee and are in the process of disparaging this person. So that it does not touch the higher-ups of the Obama Admin or congress-critters.

This could be a good time to recall Comey’s limits, as illustrated in the Clinton server “investigation.” He can’t indict. That’s within the purview of DOJ–AG Sessions’ DOJ. Recall all the frustration surrounding the failure of AG Lynch to empanel a grand jury in the Cinton case, without which g.j. personal subpoenas could not issue and the FBI could only request, not compel, witness testimony. The critical point: whatever cooperation Comey may have had (and expected to continue to have) from a sympathetic DOJ at the investigation’s reported July, 2016, launch changed substantially in January, 2017. The question of how substantially will hinge on decisions made at AG Sessions’ DOJ–the agency with the prosecutorial power over criminal Russian conspirators and felonious classified information leakers alike. And by whom, given Sessions’ recusal decision.

I was totally beaten, but I was too young to know stupid and blurted out “But if a contract is illegal, does it stand? ” Total silence. He reluctantly said ‘no’ and he would call me back. I hadn’t known the contract was illegal. That wasn’t my complaint. But I stepped in it. At this point they didn’t know if I was smart or stupid. So they treated me like smart, worked out a solution to legally crush me like a chicken before I crushed them

Agree as well. Comey should be replaced with Sheriff David Clarke. He would get to the bottom of all of this crap in a heart beat, and Congress would be told. Of course some of Congress might get arrested too. However, FBI Directors are appointed for 10 years and Trump kept him on when he should have said “I’d like for you to stay on as director for a few months until my new director is confirmed.” Now the only way to get rid of Comey is if Pompeo or Kelly investigates him and proves Comey is breaking his Oath of Office or is engaged in illegal activities. I don’t trust Flynn’s replacement. The scumbags in Congress we can remove through elections, but the political appointees are more difficult. Perhaps a petition to the White House would help, but we would need at least 100000 signatures for them to even consider it.

I was actually shocked and proud of you during your line of questioning of FBI Director, James Comey yesterday.

The fact he said he would discuss it quarterly means on 2 occasions he has discussed the investigation with the WH and other IC folks (Clapper and Brennan). He LIED to you about there being no head of DNI until Mr. Coates appointment last week. James Clapper, Head of DNI, was in that role from July 2016 through January 19, 2017.
Please make sure to question Clapper next week about what he was told by Director Comey. You caught him in a lie and maybe Mr. Clapper will oblige by sharing he was privy to the quarterly briefings.
I also would like to share a link to The Conservative Treehouse where many members of the site are so proud of what you did. Keep up the great work!

Yes, a sham, etc. which I’ve posted several times. Agree about Gowdy, etc. Someone mentioned (might have been SD) how difficult it is/will be to overcome all these people who are blackmailed to do the Globalists bidding. Yes. As some exIntel people have said and many of us already knew, the Uniparty is mostly made up of complicit, blackmailed/bribed controlled people. If not complicit, if you had a choice of losing your job (re-election), your life/family, prison time or just voting the way your donors/puppetmasters told you (to harm Pres. Trump), I’m sure you’d choose the voting route.
To me, that’s the most serious threat in that it would prevent him from attaining his agenda (other than physical threat).
I don’t know how you’d go about getting around that. Having said that, I still believe God is behind him and knows — somehow this will all get worked through and I hope that the exposure and indictment of the guilty ones will come out in the near future and help.

You get around it by finding out who is dirty, then making an example of one or two of them, preferably someone from your own party so as not to make it appear to be a political witch hunt. Then you quietly let the others know you are on to them and have evidence of their corruption. They can play ball, or go to federal prison.
I don’t like selective enforcement of the law any more than you guys, but well over half of Congress is likely criminally corrupt, and going after all of them would cause a serious problem for several years, completely derailing the MAGA agenda. Trump can get them to work with him this way, and push for term limits and other legislation to gradually take care of the corruption problem over the next decade or so.

Here is a little background on Mr Comey, seems he has always helped the Clinton’s.
Remember Whitewater?
20 years ago James Comey as an attorney on the Senate Whitewater Investigation was looking into the conduct of President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton. The investigation was to determine whether Bill Clinton used his political position as governor of Arkansas (in the 1980s) to push through an illegal loan to benefit Bill and Hillary’s business partner in Whitewater. Several people involved in Whitewater went to jail, but no criminal prosecution was in the cards for Bill and Hillary.
Remember James Comey was the Deputy Special Counsel for the Whitewater investigation….
In Christopher Anderson’s book, American Evita: Hillary Clinton’s Rise to Power, Anderson gives details of the New Square offenders pardon by Bill Clinton (who had been convicted of bilking the government of $30 million dollars). Christopher Anderson relates that at Hillary’s urging Bill gave clemency to 16 Puerto Rican terrorists who took the lives of 16 Americans and wounded many others. Anderson tells us that Hillary admired the Marxist Carl Oglesby and Saul Alinsky. It is from her admiration for Saul Alinsky that she formed her belief that “the only way to make a real difference is to acquire power.”
The pardon of billionaire Marc Rich (who traded illegally with America’s enemies including Iran) by President Bill Clinton was something that everyone knew reeked of impropriety after learning that Rich’s wife donated $450,000 to the Clinton Library.
Again James Comey oversaw investigations of the pardon matters as well. Unbelievably James Comey did not recommend charging the Clinton in any of these matters. Wouldn’t it be fair and balanced to give news coverage to these facts?
Isn’t this strange that the media has not exposed this?

Questions on wiretapping should lead to the FISA Court and the protections that were accorded to the CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery who worked for Brennan and Clapper building them a secret super computer called “The Hammer.” This is the core of the wiretapping charges.
General Thomas McInerney…In a fascinating interview tells of how the secret super computer of Brennan and Clapper THE HAMMER “targeted and wiretapped Donald Trump “A ZILLION TIMES.”
This information was caught on audio tapes that were taken into possession by FBI Director Comey– Comey took from Montgomery 600 million documents that Montgomery had in his possession – proving Brennan and Clapper were hacking innocent Americans and developing files on them. Montgomery was then accorded protections for “possession” and “testimony” by Judge Lamberth who was the head of the FISA Court.
Listen to the short interview of General Thomas McInerney telling of “THE HAMMER.”

I think he is subtly calling out all kinds of stuff, just like he whispered during the email hearings that the way Lynch set things up it was not a prosecutable case – all that immunity gave them no leverage and Hillary is a master at leaving no trail.
Look at all the trouble the went to to PRINT 55,000 pages of email rather than send over a digital file with all the metadata intact? There is no email authentication on any one of those ‘emails’. She did the same thing during Whitewater and was quite found, lawyer and all, of using the word ‘evidence’. That case, coupled with rules of evidence and immunity agreement was gutted by Loretta Lynch.
Which Comey told us between the lines, after he had that press conference and told the entire country she did it.
I think both of these guys are funny as hell and are 4 layers deep in what they are saying as they address far more than Trump and Russia.
Here, he cryptically adds, after saying they go quarterly and brief,
“Thats by practice, not by written rule or policy…”
He’s setting it up to say they didn’t brief on this, I think to any of the three entities.
“When did you notify the DNI, the Whitehouse, or Senior Congressional leadership?”
“Obviously the Department of Justice has been aware of it all along”
How’s that for not-an-answer?
Why obviously? Because Lynch got the FISAs and is the tapper or what other reason, because it isn’t just about Trump, it’s about Hillary, and maybe Huma?
“I don’t know what the DNI’s knowledge of it because we didn’t have a DNI”
We all know he knows there was a DNI from July through January 20th. This can only mean he started notifying during the gap period in between Trump’s inauguration and Coat’s swearing in, for that is the only time we didn’t have a DNI.
“ until Mr. Coats took office and I briefed him (he leans in and adds energy ) his first morning”
But he did not brief Clapper any morning between July and January 20th?
He doesn’t mention briefing the Whitehouse at all, either way.
“Why was there no notification prior – to the recent, to the LAST MONTH?”
“I think it was a matter of such sensitivity that we wouldn’t include it in the quarterly briefings”
The quarterly briefing(s)?
I don’t see him state that he told Clapper or the Whitehouse during the quarterly briefings and not the Whitehouse. This plays that the FBI held the vest close to their own chest and it begs some questions.
If Clapper and Brennan were obviously investigating the Russian hacking and knee deep in Russia, it wold seem incumbent upon Director Comey to include them in this. If Obama was standing up at the pulpit talking about the Russian hacking of the elections, it would seem incumbent to tell him.
I don’t think he is obfuscating the quarterly briefings, I think he is calling this particular situation out as unusual enough that the FBI did not act as they usually do and give any quarterly briefings due to the sensitivity of the situation. “Thats by practice, not by written rule or policy…” he says earlier and then I think it was a matter of such sensitivity that we wouldn’t include it in the quarterly briefings
If you were to tweak all these questions and substitute the Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, that has meat already on the bone.
While everybody talks about the Russian’s “interfering” in the election, nobody will address the mechanism, how exactly they did it – what affect the CONTENT they supposedly added to the mix had on the election that supposedly altered the results.
These people are actually grieving losing the election and quarterbacking how it happened by projecting everything we know Hillary did onto Trump, because they can’t come right out and say what was in the DNC emails (the DNC manipulated the elections ) or the Podesta emails (Podesta, minimally was colluding with the Russians and ‘recruited’ in the ways Comey talks about earlier. I imagine Bill was surveilled when he was in Russia just like Trump would have been, we know $500,000 changed hands with a banker connected to Putin, my-goodness 20% of US Uranium passed to Russia through the actions of Bill. Did Bill Clinton ever register as a foreign lobbyist? Did Hillary report all the business the Clinton Foundation was doing with foreign governments as the MOU dictated? How many other governments did we discover they were lobbying on behalf of after millions changed hands?
It is THE elephant in the room and not one of them can address it, as they would be addressing not only why their candidate lost, what the American public discovered that caused them to switch parties and vote for somebody they were sure had no appeal, they would also have to address that an aging ex-president was acting as an agent of foreign governments, taking funds for speeches and who knows what else, didn’t register as a lobbyist, and was operating out of a non-profit foundation that was registered and tax-exempt for the purposes of building the Clinton Foundation library.
If the Democrats bleat loud enough about Russia and Trump, maybe it can help them never have to take an honest look at why she lost and what was happening right under their noses all that time.
The subtext of this entire hearing is the Clinton’s and I don’t think we know for sure what is being investigated.
Makes no sense for Comey to give that press conference and out her to the entire country during the email fiasco, or for him to say the subtle things he did during the hearings, or to make a move so bold and so striking that the whole country stopped dead in our tracks.
WHEN MR. TRUMP BECAME THE NOMINEE, THERE WAS SOME SENSE THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF HE COULD WIN, BE GREAT IF WE COULD HELP HIM, BUT WE NEED TO HURT HER NO MATTER WHAT. THEN IT SHIFTED TO HE HAS NO CHANCE, LET’S FOCUS ON UNDERMINING HER. THAT WAS THE JUDGMENT OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.
Is he talking about the FBI or the Russians, because in that email report they wrote about the disdain in the Secret Service and State Department Security for Hillary Clinton.
Change a few words here and you are talking about Paul Ryan,
“THEY HATED HER, SECRETARY CLINTON. WANTED TO HARM HER AND THOUGHT MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO HELP MR. TRUMP. AND THEN LATER CONCLUDED THAT MR. TRUMP — IT WAS HOPELESS AND THEY WOULD FOCUS THEN ON JUST TRYING TO UNDERMINE SECRETARY CLINTON, ESPECIALLY WITH THE EUROPEAN ALLIES”
And if manipulating the electorate is a problem, when is the hearing on the DNC throwing Bernie under the bus and the fairness in those elections.
The pathos of this thing is deep. They all know what she did, there is enough evidence to choke a country. They are playing out the hearings she would have had had she been elected, doing everything they can from the country stopping long enough to realize what came out in those days.
And it sure sounds to me like Rogers would have the packet data of all of it traveling across the lines to Russia, out of the US, but that didn’t happen. It was a USB drive stuck in a computer and shipped to Wikileaks, or it was somebody inside the NSA.

A different interpretation, not necessarily mutually inconsistent
Comey and Rogers, lied to Congress yesterday about something else. Imho, in a fascinating way, which, imho, may give away a lot. They both said Britain spying on Trump would violate 5 Eyes agreements. No, no! 5 Eyes agree they won’t spy on each others’ leaders/officials but at each others’ request, will spy on each others’ citizens. (The written agreements may well have prohibitions, but any prohibitions have long since been suspended by contrary oral agreements.) Trump was a citizen, not a leader. Who is claiming Britain took it on itself to surveil? It would have been at request of U.S. Intel. And that’s exactly what 5 Eyes members do for each other. Of course I don’t expect an admission of that. But a vaguely evasive, slightly ambiguous statement was the order of the day, not a direct lie.
And I have a guess as to the reasons for the spying -aside from any dirty tactics by Obama, I.e., why the Intel agencies would so willingly get involved and what else, besides trying to dump Trump, they are covering up. 1) Trump’s campaign national security adviser, Flynn, was a maverick with ties he wasn’t publicly disclosing, and 2) the biggie, some in Trump’s circle and especially his for-a-while campaign manager, Paul Manafort, had disclosed ties to Ukraine, a country we and the EU are meddling heavily in to drive it away from Russia and into the bosom of NATO and the EU. I think our (and the EU’s) activities in Ukraine are wide-spread, possibly might be shocking if known. I think it possible Ukraine was what the surveillance was really about. The UK under Cameron (and May) was very much aboard the EU’s and our meddling efforts, so I think British Intel would have been willing to do the surveillance if asked so there was no track here and our Intel officials could plausibly deny. Ukraine/Crimea/expanding NATO seems to be McCain’s obsession too.

Here is why I say this, if a FBI launched an investigation into whether Trump or members of his team are Russian AGENTS, (a counter-intelligence operations was started July 2016), then can Obama call a STATE of Emergency, and get Trump for TREASON along with others in his administration.

I would refer answers to these questions to the VAULT 7 release by WikiLeaks which is basically the counterstrike by white hats to push back the agenda and actions of the black hats.
It detailed how intelligence used information hacked by Russia as a means to disguise and make all these fabrications as though they originated with Russia. Nothing about Russia, Trump, Flynt or anyone else had any involvement in said charges made against them. It was pure fabrication created by the deep state.
If intelligence can access your car software and assassinate you via remote access leaving no fingerprints while making it look like an accident (which is most likely how Michael Hastings the reporter died and as witnesses to his death that night suspected)how easily would it be to fabricate Russian accusations about non-existing crimes against an opponent?
While there are a couple of FBI agents and white hats post on the dark net to remain undetected and anonymous a name kept being mentioned. A Russian native and hacker named Dmitri Alperovich directly worked with Obama hacking and producing the false charges against Trump et al. He hacked numerous Russian outfits to gain their malmare among other tools which he then used to produce all these false accusation in tandem with the rest of the deep state.
Dmitri Alperovich has a Wikipedia page and one can easily see how much he aided the DNCe, Hillary and Obama in hope to elect Hillary since he is also a democrative supporter and activist who was first in fabricating the claim of Russian hacking the 2016 election. When you study his business career one can come to the conclusion that he obviously also is part of a deeper intelligence related assistance to the democratic party only.

Very handy the investigation was started during the election. If Comey was crooked, he himself could obstruct. In any case, the perpetual investigation puts someone with a long history on the Dark Side in charge of criminal investigations for Trump and Comey can’t advise Trump because, hey, the case involves Trump
Trump probably knew the setup going into the election last year. Trump is worthy

Long game versus Short game? I doubt it. Look at Brazil, where an incorruptible and intrepid judge has charged major corporate figures-several convicted and serving long sentence-indicted TWO PAST PRESIDENTS, DILMA ROUSEFF AND IGNACIO DE SILVA. The Speaker of the House was forced to resign and is charged with crimes. Over a hundred charged and/or indicted of politicians, lobbyists, corporate executives. And still going strong.

Rogers’ last response, beginning at the 5:29 mark, as well as his body language, is quite interesting. His gaze is downward nearly the whole time he’s speaking and he’s wiggling. Maybe he always wiggles a lot and people will sometimes look away, if they’re thinking or searching their memory when talking. Combined, it makes Rogers look very uncomfortable about what he’s saying.
Putting aside the purpose of the hearing and Sundance’s excellent insights for a moment, IMO, what Rogers said is telling too. He’s seeding an additional narrative and seems uncomfortable with it. He begins about how agencies share info, then talks about the continuing discussions about the “roll of voting infrastructure in the United States, in terms of critical infrastructure, and if we need to bring it into the Critical Infrastructure…” Note the pauses, voice modulation and trailing as he says this.
Killing two birds with one stone? Narrative shaping is up again: Gee whiz, gosh darnit, after all these “hacks” and the interference by “foreign” governments, it’s clear we absolutely must have Internet security, so it’s imperative that States relinquish their sovereign authority over voting infrastructure and the authority they hold over the “political” portion of “citizenship” to the federal government’s “Critical Infrastructure”, then make it all uniform, because it’ll be safe there…in one place…instead of fifty different impossible to collectively “hack” State infrastructures. It’ll be so much easier to oversee and “control.” And let’s not forget how many “new Americans” there are that aren’t actually naturalized citizens. We can’t have States discriminating against them by requiring ID’s or proof of citizenship. It’s for our own protection and for the protection of our “sacred” democratic electoral process, ya know. Uh huh.

I would agree that you rightly recognize one of the other “main targets.” Remember that the “voting infrastructure” was teed up during the election cycle and there was “evidence” of “hacking” in Georgia. The Feds said, they would be happy to “come along side” states that requested assistance. Except that ooops… turns out it was Homeland Security who attempted to hack the voter registration data base. As you point out, so important to listen carefully to the “messaging” that is put forth.

I remember that, valuetruth. Obama fired the first shot about nationalizing elections…after publicly saying it was impossible to hack elections because of the State differences, but that was in response to Trump being “ridiculous” that it was possible. Then Russia, Russia, Russia took over the narrative. I guess Obama “evolved” on his position…again.
I remember the “hacking” by DHS into Georgia, too. I think several other States complained about the same attempts, as well. I just remember Georgia, for certain. Either way, yeah, the feds are a surefire solution to voter and election fraud…if we want to make it easier for them and their owners to put in their guy…or gal.

You seem to be as cynically skeptical as myself …
I to caught Rogers body language – even at the very beginning when Rep Stefanik started with her questioning to Comey. Rogers wiggles in his chair to gather himself and intently stares into the abyss and is listening intensively. Total focus on what the questions are and Comey’s responses. Thus, formulating clean-up answers and a subjective narrative to take the session into a different direction. Stefanik hit on the “Why didn’t the intelligence community notify congressional leaders of the ‘investigation.'”
Rogers moved quickly away from this line and went after the “Russian Yahoo attack”, this is where I think Rogers is walking a fine line and gives the ambiguous posture that makes everyone unable to conclusively describe whether he is a ‘white, gray or black hat’. Is Rogers giving a ‘heads-up’ to the Deep State wanting to control all election infrastructure? Or does he really believe the election process should be controlled by the federal government?
Also, could this line of answering by Rogers be a ‘heads up’ to congress-critters that AG Sessions is quietly aligning his US Attorney’s to start investigating voter fraud? And the Trump Admin is formulating a plan to expose voter fraud and implementing a memorandum to have states clean-up the voter rolls and institute a Voter ID law …

I wondered that too, Mickey. I wondered if he had been “urged” to insert (seed) the nationalization of elections somewhere in his responses, if he believes it’s a good idea or if he’s alarmed by the behind-the-scenes push for it and the power shift it would create, so he put it out, rather awkwardly, to alert Americans of the plan. Whatever his reason for bringing it up, his delivery didn’t seem like natural spontaneous speech to me.
I hope he’s horrified by the idea, because, like the lightning bolt that awakened Frankenstein’s monster, it would be the jolt that would raise up an absolute monster of tyranny…called America.

Trump is challenging the whole CIA-media nexus
Nothing like it since JFK
” CIA has believed, for a long, long time that it is the president, it runs the country, it decides the important issues, it fronts for mega-corporate incursions into foreign nations, it decides foreign policy, it calculates when a regime should be overthrown, it decides how to foment wars that will end up funneling huge chunks of cash to the military-industrial complex…
Digging out, exposing, and getting rid of the rot and corruption inside the CIA is on the order of turning around an oil tanker in a small lake.
That rot and crime wasn’t built to its present level overnight. It has been built since 1948.
The people who constructed it (with Allen Dulles right up there at the head of the line) assumed they could stage a coup. A national coup. They could essentially take over the country. And to a large extent, they did. JFK’s assassination removed a potential obstruction early in the game.
Then, nothing. Until Trump.
CIA and major media in this country are in lock-step. They feed each other. They produce a picture of reality that is entirely shallow and false. They want compliance, obedience, and silence. They want to make black white and white black. They want to fulfill Orwell’s 1984 prediction.
The best of these little “journalists” are leeches and adoring cowards. They cling to the higher-ups who run the show. The worst of them are psychologically and spiritually mongrelized sociopaths, for whom sadism is the only way of life. Like their CIA brothers, they believe (or did believe until recently) that no one could remove their entitlements.
Steve Bannon knows—and I’m sure he’s told Trump—that a war against the media is the best way to go right now.
In other words, if the head of the snake is too hard to cut off at the moment, go for other parts of the body.

In any totalitarian regime the secret police keeps the masses in check. This was done in Russia under Stalin, Germany under Hitler, South America , Italy under Mussolini in Africa and other places.
We always hear why did people allow this. These tyrants are slick just as Obama and Clinton were slick they lull a Nation into a false narrative and false security. Those of us who know the signs who have lived through or right after a tyranny know what it looks like.
Only after it is to late people wake up and see the truth and often there is no turning back until a bloodbath. We are in danger and our President is in danger and all those who are discovering the truth and who are uncovering the deceptions. My prayers are with all the brave and with POTUS and this Nation.

We need to call/contact other House Intelligence agency members and Senate intelligence members to tell them to pursue this illegal spying and this Russian ruse. They need to be put on notice that Americans will not tolerate them just sweeping this under the rug and to railroad Trump/his associates. Other info they should look into that might be true is the existence of a “Hammer” database that collected info on Trump (see link below), and Project Dragnet. The Senate Intelligence really have RINOs so we need to put the pressure on them to investigate this. Another concern I have is that the investigation will apparently look into any links/use of “alt-right” sites with/by the Russians. So, it’s a way that liberals/globalists can discredit and eventually censure conservative sites (Drudge, Breitbart, Infowars, etc.). Our freedom is at stake.
