A Curious Case of Counterintelligence – Bill Priestap…

In the past few weeks, thanks to some revealing information amid the various investigators of the DC swamp, we have been introduced to some previously unknown people.

Names like FBI Agent Peter Strzok; his mistress FBI Attorney Lisa Page; their ideological comrade Asst FBI Director Andrew McCabe; along with DOJ Deputy Bruce Ohr; and his wife, Fusion-GPS contract employee Nellie Ohr.  These are a few of the recent names that have hit the headlines as a result of ongoing investigations into the politicization of the FBI and DOJ.

But there’s one name conspicuously absent, FBI Director of Counterintelligence, Bill Priestap.

When you understand how central Bill Priestap is to the entire 2016/2017 ‘Russian Conspiracy Operation‘, the absence of his name, amid all others, creates a curiosity.  I wrote a twitter thread about him recently because it seems rather unfathomable his name has not been a part of any of the recent story-lines.

Bill Priestap is the head of the FBI Counterintelligence operation.  He was FBI Agent Peter Strozk’s direct boss.  If anyone in congress really wanted to know if the FBI paid for the Christopher Steele Dossier, Bill Priestap is the guy who would know.

Helpful IG Releases:

♦Release #1 was the Agent Strzok and Attorney Lisa Page story; and the repercussions from discovering their politically motivated bias in the 2015/2016 Clinton email investigation and 2016/2017 Russian Election investigation.

♦Release #2 outlined the depth of FBI Agent Strzok and FBI Attorney Page’s specific history in the 2016 investigation into Hillary Clinton to include the changing of the wording [“grossly negligent” to “extremely careless”] of the probe outcome delivered by FBI Director James Comey.

♦Release #3 was the information about DOJ Deputy Bruce Ohr being in contact with Fusion GPS at the same time as the FISA application was submitted and granted by the FISA court; which authorized surveillance and wiretapping of candidate Donald Trump;  that release also attached Bruce Ohr and Agent Strzok directly to the Steele Dossier.

♦Release #4 was information that Deputy Bruce Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr, was an actual contract employee of Fusion GPS, and was hired by F-GPS specifically to work on opposition research against candidate Donald Trump.  Both Bruce Ohr and Nellie Ohr are attached to the origin of the Christopher Steele Russian Dossier.

♦Release #5 was the specific communication between FBI Agent Strzok and FBI Attorney Page.  The 10,000 text messages that included evidence of them both meeting with Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe to discuss the “insurance policy” against candidate Donald Trump in August of 2016.

In April 2016 Hillary Clinton paid Glenn Simpson with Fusion-GPS to dig up dirt on Donald Trump.

In May 2016 Fusion GPS hired Nellie Ohr, wife of DOJ Deputy Bruce Ohr, to lead the opposition research effort.  That same month, Fusion GPS contracted with retired British MI6 Agent Christopher Steele to write the ‘Trump Russia Dossier’.

In late June 2016 the first draft of the Steele Dossier was shared back with Fusion GPS and presumably Nellie Ohr was one of the recipients.   According to Robby Mook, the partial dossier information was also given to the DNC and Clinton Campaign.

In July 2016 candidate Donald Trump won the GOP nomination.  That same month the FBI Counterintelligence Division began an investigation they later described as a counterintelligence operation looking at Russian interference in the U.S. election.  However, from 10 months of researched documentation, much of it in the MSM, we now know it was an FBI counterintelligence operation against candidate Donald Trump.

Also in July 2016, immediately following candidate Donald Trump’s successful bid to win the GOP nomination, a FISA application was denied.  The timing here is far too coincidental (the later narrower version clearly evidences), the FISA application was to wiretap, monitor and conduct surveillance on candidate Trump and his campaign.

In August 2016, the lead FBI Agent in charge of that counterintelligence operation, Peter Strzok told his FBI Attorney and mistress:  “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office that there’s no way he gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”

The “insurance policy” appears to be the ongoing counterintelligence operation that later utilized the Steele Dossier to get the FISA warrant and actually begin the wiretaps and surveillance.  The conversation referenced between Strzok and Page took place in FBI Assistant Director Andrew “Andy” McCabe’s office.

All of this information is really just a recap.  Everyone now sees this construct clearly.  The Timelines are brutally obvious.  Congress and DC investigators, including the years-long OIG investigation, are currently in the phase of nailing down the players and putting the final touches on the evidence.  The outline is clear as day.

However, within this brutally obvious outline there’s a name missing.  That name is the FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap:

FBI Asst. Director in charge of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap was the immediate supervisor of FBI Counterintelligence Deputy Peter Strzok.

Bill Priestap is #1. Before getting demoted Peter Strzok was #2.

The investigation into candidate Donald Trump was a counterintelligence operation. That operation began in July 2016. Bill Priestap would have been in charge of that, along with all other, FBI counterintelligence operations.

FBI Deputy Peter Strzok was specifically in charge of the Trump counterintel op. However, Strzok would be reporting to Bill Priestap on every detail and couldn’t (according to structure anyway) make a move without Priestap approval.

On March 20th 2017 congressional testimony, James Comey was asked why the FBI Director did not inform congressional oversight about the counterintelligence operation that began in July 2016.

FBI Director Comey said he did not tell congressional oversight he was investigating presidential candidate Donald Trump because the Director of Counterintelligence suggested he not do so. *Very important detail.*

I cannot emphasize this enough. *VERY* important detail. Again, notice how Comey doesn’t use Priestap’s actual name, but refers to his position and title. Again, watch [Prompted]

FBI Director James Comey was caught entirely off guard by that first three minutes of that questioning. He simply didn’t anticipate it.

Oversight protocol requires the FBI Director to tell the congressional intelligence “Gang of Eight” of any counterintelligence operations. The Go8 has oversight into these ops at the highest level of classification.  In July 2016 the time the operation began, oversight was the responsibility of this group, the Gang of Eight:

Obviously, based on what we have learned since March 2017, and what has surfaced recently, we can all see why the FBI would want to keep it hidden that they were running a counterintelligence operation against a presidential candidate.   After all, as FBI Agent Peter Strzok said it in his text messages, it was an “insurance policy”.

REMINDER – FBI Agent Strzok to FBI Attorney Page:

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office that there’s no way he gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”

So there we have FBI Director James Comey telling congress on March 20th that the reason he didn’t inform the statutory oversight “Gang of Eight” was because Bill Priestap (Director of Counterintelligence) recommended he didn’t do it.

Apparently, according to Comey, Bill Priestap carries a great deal of influence if he could get his boss to NOT perform a statutory obligation simply by recommending he doesn’t do it.

Than again, Comey’s blame-casting there is really called creating a “fall guy”.  FBI Director James Comey is ducking responsibility in March 2017 by blaming FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap for not informing congress of the operation that began in July 2016. (9 months prior).

At that moment, that very specific moment during that March 20th hearing, anyone who watches these hearings closely could see Comey was creating his own exit from getting ensnared in the consequences from the wiretapping and surveillance operation of President Donald Trump.  In essence, Bill Priestap is James Comey’s shield from liability.

But more curiously for current discussion, there has been NO MENTION of Bill Priestap in any of the recent revelations, despite his centrality to all of it.

Bill Priestap would have needed to authorize Peter Strzok to engage with Christopher Steele over the “Russian Dosssier”.

Bill Priestap would have needed to approve of the underlying documents that were used for both FISA applications (June/July and Sept/Oct).

Bill Priestap would be the person to approve of paying, or reimbursing, Christopher Steele for the Russian Dossier used in their counterintelligence operation and subsequent FISA application.

Without Bill Priestap involved, approvals, etc. the entire Russian/Trump Counterintelligence operation just doesn’t happen. Heck, James Comey’s March testimony in that regard is also evidence of Priestap’s importance.

In addition, when Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified (with James Clapper), she too spoke of the importance of Bill Priestap as her liaison and contact within the FBI on the counterintelligence operation. [Yates never mentioned Peter Strzok – not once.] Even though it was FBI agent Peter Strzok who interviewed Michael Flynn on January 24th, [link] Sally Yates never mentioned him. EVER.

However Deputy AG Sally Yates did talk about Bill Priestap during her testimony.

Yates testified she and Bill Priestap traveled together, Jan 26th, to the White House to inform Don McGhan (WH Counsel) of Michael Flynn “misleading statements” (based on Pence media reports and Flynn prior ambush interview Jan 24th).

According to Sally Yates testimony, she and Bill Priestap reportedly presented all the information to White House General Counsel Don McGahn “so the White House could take action that they deemed appropriate.”

So we all can see that Bill Priestap is a central figure. FBI Director James Comey defers to him; Acting Attorney General Sally Yates relied on him; FBI Special Agent in Counterintelligence Peter Strzok reports to him; Yet there’s absolutely no mention of Bill Priestap in any of the explosive investigative story-lines in the past two weeks.

Why?

Bill Priestap is the FBI Director of Counterintelligence. There’s no way he hasn’t been caught inside the investigative net.

Bill Priestap’s boss, Andrew McCabe has been caught. Bill Priestap’s subordinate, Peter Strzok, has most certainly been caught. And in March 20th 2017 FBI Director Comey pushed Priestap directly in front of the congressional oversight bus.

My hunch is either Bill Priestap is going to be the attempted fall-guy for the entire scheme. -OR- Bill Priestap saw the bus coming and is assisting the swamp-draining DC investigators:

On the home-front: FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap is married to Sabina Menshell a self-employed “consultant” with a history of donations to Democrat candidates, specifically to Hillary Clinton.

Bill’s wife Sabina comes from a Goldman Sach’s connected family, which must be why Bill and Sabina can afford to live in a $3.2 million home in Washington DC.

Would be a little difficult to afford a $3,000,000.00 mortgage on a G-Man’s payroll.

Just sayin’…

        Remembering that photo taken the day after the election of WH staff standing with Valerie Jarrett outside the Oval Office. All looked spiteful, arms crossed in defiance and belligerence. They looked like people with alot to hide and a determination to keep it hidden.

        All the names and faces emerging from this Swamp slime surely could not have concocted these schemes, colluded back and forth and whatever else without the knowledge and blessing of higher up’s. Why would a group of Obama employees–also Hillary voters–risk jobs, $3 million dollar homes and potential felony charges unless they had lots of reassurance from the top that they could pull it off and never be discovered?

        No doubt, Obama will soon be claiming he’s just reading abt all this in the papers like everyone else, but he, his wife and VJ have a shadow govt set up down the street from the WH. He and Eric Holder are working hard to gerrymander House districts across the country. He heads an organization that trains street thugs to protest, riot and disrupt every time he sees one of his pet policies face the chopping block. There’s no quiet retirement of his administration. Shadow govt., then and now?

        Supposedly, there’s some unspoken rule that an administration should not investigate the one prior. Given the level of crimes being revealed, that rule should be thrown out.

      He acknowledged his friendship and admiration for Little Marco today and (indirectly) indicated LM was just being crass.

      I do believe Rush loves America and despises leftists. Rush simply has huge dollars and influential friends (whom he genuinely likes) bearing on every word he utters.

    (CNSNews.com) – “Russia, for years, has conducted influence operations targeting our elections,” an FBI agent told Congress on Wednesday. But what made 2016 different was the degree of interference, facilitated by the Internet, said Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division.

    “The Internet is just — has allowed Russia to do so much more today than they’ve even been able to do in the past,” Priestap said.

    Well Sundance, you’ve put me over the top with this Priestap revelation. Is he good? Is he bad? Is he being set up? Is he singing like a canary? Can’t you just tell us how it IS going to end? I’m stressed. Pour me another double; I’m turning in early. Tomorrow!

    C-SPAN appearance of Bill Priestap before Senate Intel Committee on Russian Influence of 2016 Election:

    https://www.c-span.org/video/?430128-1/senate-intel-panel-told-21-states-targeted-russia-2016-election

    Sickening in the light of what Sundance has exposed. I watched just a small portion beginning at the 42:00 minute mark. I learned from Priestap’s testimony that those mean old Russians, thanks to the power of the internet, ran a big ‘influence operation’ to favor one candidate over another by “denigrating” Hillary Clinton.

    Oh my! What? He must not have seen the whole MSM/DNC/GOPe/Hollywood/Deep State and International Globalist Cartel denigrate one candidate, Trump. No, he couldn’t see because he was the one of the directors and producers of the show we are now watching, “THE INSURANCE POLICY”!!

      Why, that wasn’t the Russians, that was me!

      I spent the entire 2008 and 2016 election cycles and all in between campaigning against and criticizing Hillary Clinton.

      They just mistook my Southern accent and colloquialisms for Russian.

    ok sooooo ….it seems like the Director of the FBI’s counterintelligence Bill Priestap, is literally just etch-a-sketched out of the whole equation……a little shake and poof ! What does not make sense to me, is that IF he is ” cooperating” with this investigation…. what does that look like?

    if he DID withhold information from the GO8 because they were running an illegal investigation on Trump using phony intelligence- how does he square this ? Does he admit to the scam and get immunity of some kind– but if he were writing the checks for this charade -what cover does he have ?

    How could anyone investigating him trust him with giving or receiving any information ? If he is working with the IG to get intelligence on other very very very bad “players” – How do we know that he isn’t tipping people off ?

    In the immortal of words of Julianna Potter: ” You’re pond scum. You are like the fungus that feeds on pond scum. No.. you are lower than that… You are the pus that infects the mucous… that cruds up the fungus… that feeds on the pond scum.”

    This thing is so evil in it depth and breadth…I feel like I need a shower….maybe two.

    Evil people…evil deeds.

    I believe the OIG investigation is mainly focused on the Clinton email investigation so while the investigation will likely expose some of the dirt, much of the dirt on the Russia-Trump farce won’t be exposed. This will be up to Congress (Nunes, etc.), Sessions/Rosenstein/Wray (good luck!), and the American people. That’s why I think we need a second special prosecutor to look into ties between the Hillary campaign-Fusion GPS-Steele and the corrupt DOJ/FBI. Also, it helps for the public to keep pressure on Congress and the DOJ/FBI to expose/deal with this farce.

    Think these bureaucrats, Mueller and his leftist team are arrogant and still will try to make bogus charges on Trump and others (obstruction of justice, attempts to collude, money laundering, etc.). They have set up a kangaroo court in D.C. where 97% of the jury pool are dems and the judge I believe is an Obama appointee.

    SD did a great job early on disclosing that the DJT, jr. meeting with the Russian lawyer was likely a set up. I also think that Papadopoulos was likely a plant and tried to entrap Trump and his associates. I think Mueller and his team might try to push this angle so it would be good to expose Papadopoulos as a plant if we can.

    Some of us were getting a little impatient it seems. However, the house of cards is starting to collapse and it should be interesting to watch. It seems Trump was aware of some of this – he is steady as a rock and wily to boot.

Apparently a supposed Bannon/Mercer data gathering outfit. Again, I don’t know a thing. Just wanting something I can reply back with. It seems the Cambridge Analytica thing is their hoped for “Ace” card. Brexit is even brought up. Can someone assist me? Perhaps Sundance and admin? I’m not trying to be a wet blanket, just need some help here. Thanks.

  44. Why in all this talking about cyber anything is it ONLY the Russians?
    Am I being lead to believe that the only ones that are doing this and have stepped up their game in the past few years are the Russians?

    Why not China? Why not the Iranians using outside sources?
    There is no direct, point to point, evidence that it was Russia and Absolutely not someone one else. No one has said that with 100% certainty that I know of.

    But why if the Chinese were blamed for the 2012 hacking of the WH and SoS systems is it now only Russia that has stepped up.
    The only logical answer to that is that Trump has some ties to Russia because of the Beauty Pageants and not with China.

    But according to all the testimony for over a year, NO OTHER COUNTRY has ever hacked or was attempting to hack the USA.
    That is simply hard to accept.

    Linked is Bill Priestap’s Statement before the SIC on 6/21/2017 “to discuss the FBI’s contributions to the early 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, or “ICA,” entitled “Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent Elections.” Boring.

    Poor Bill. He hasn’t even been in his current position 2 years. Actually started 1/2016. Yah. Comey handpicked the fall guy. Campaigning was up and running full swing when Bill was named for the position. Candidate Trump was picking off the opposition one by one. Dropping like flies.

    When the position became available and Comey chose Bill in 12/2015, wonder why super agent Peter wasn’t promote into that slot?

    We’re definately going to need another clue to see which side of the fence Bill lands on.

    “12/2015 – FBI Director James B. Comey named E.W. “Bill” Priestap as the assistant director of the Counterintelligence Division at FBI Headquarters (FBIHQ) in Washington, D.C. Mr. Priestap most recently served as the deputy assistant director of the Intelligence Operations Branch in the Directorate of Intelligence at FBIHQ.”

    Apparently, according to Comey, Bill Priestap carries a great deal of influence if he could get his boss to NOT perform a statutory obligation simply by recommending he doesn’t do it. (sd)

    Likewise for Loretta saying she would take Comey’s recommendation re: Crooked’s email.
