I’m not going to spend a great deal of time on this because the story is just affirmation and takes away from research and value-added discussion.
Tonight Fox News is reporting on the efforts of Senator Mark Warner to make secret and off-the-record contact with Christopher Steele in March of 2017. Warner, a rabidly partisan Democrat, is the minority Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The Majority Chairman is Richard Burr (R-NC) and also corrupt as hell. Not surprisingly, Burr is covering for Warner. –You can read the STORY HERE–
Throughout the entire story-line behind the ongoing conspiracy to destabilize the presidency of Donald Trump we have pointed out that Mark Warner and Richard Burr were compromised. The corruption within the Senate Intelligence Committee is specifically why House Intel Chairman Devin Nunes, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, and Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, do not share information with the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The corrupt Senate Intel Committee, and all their corrupt staff members, are cut-off from contact with those who are fighting the corruption. Everyone on the committee has been compromised by the Chairman and Vice-Chairman participating with, and being in ideological agreement with, the Uniparty conspiracy effort to take-down President Trump. Yes, that includes Marco Rubio, James Lankford and Tom Cotton. None of them can be trusted. [If Lankford and/or Cotton quit the committee in the next 72 hours we can re-evaluate them, but only them.]
Never-Trust-Any-Of-These..
..EVER!
Six months after Warner was conspiring with Christopher Steele… (in September of 2017), the Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz, questioned Senator Warner’s staff and requested the messaging information.
Warner discovered he was busted.
Mark Warner waited until he was caught, then told the committee about his contacts with a Russian actor and his attempts to contact the British spy. He was messaging in March of 2017. Richard Burr and Marco Rubio are providing cover by claiming Warner was honest with them in September, 2017.
Senator Rubio is saying the entire committee was informed in Sept. ’17 that the vice-chairman (Warner) was attempting to collaborate with a British spy (Steele) through a registered Russian agent in March 2017 (7 months prior).
Yet not a single member of the Senate Intelligence Committee (R or D) demanded Vice-Chairman Mark Warner make an immediate, full and public disclosure of the VERY SERIOUS conflict he engaged in?
Think about this carefully. The Vice-Chair of the committee not only compromised his leadership position, but he also compromised every member of that committee by conspiring, covertly, with a “Registered Russian Agent” within an investigation that was entirely about collaboration with Russian agents?
Whereas not a single member of that committee held enough integrity; enough of an understanding of ethical behavior; to call Mark Warner to task and demand full, immediate and public disclosure?
By their silence in the face of a stunning display of ethical malfeasance every member of the committee compromised their integrity, their representative duty, and their position on the committee. They became complicit. Period.
CTH caught on to the corruption immediately after the inauguration in January 2017 when Diane Feinstein quit the committee and was replaced by Mark Warner. This is why we have been saying for over a year to ignore the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The scary thing is that Warner and Burr are members of the Gang-of-Eight intelligence oversight. That is Alarming !! That should scare the crap out of anyone who understands what national intelligence information these senate conspirators are briefed about.
I shall not spend any more time on them. Seriously, I don’t even look in the direction of anything that they touch… it is all manipulation, misinformation and disinformation. There is absolutely no value in anything from the Senate Intelligence Committee because it has been entirely corrupted.
100% corrupted. Entirely useless.
That’s why Devin Nunes, Chuck Grassley, Bob Goodlatte and Michael Horowitz don’t share any information with Richard Burr… The good guys act like Burr doesn’t exist, and I follow that recommendation happily.
This is the team to follow:
When it comes to the issues that really matter; the issues of serious importance; ignore all voices that are not part of the above. The good guys have a plan; the bad guys (including Warner and Burr) don’t know the plans of the good guys.
Yes the committee owns and is complicit in Warner’s attempted method to speak with Steele. The committee then covered for Warner’s method with the following statement in early October 2017:

In a statement to NBC News, Burr and Warner said they were still open to meeting with Steele as part of the Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Russia’s meddling.
“The Committee has made multiple requests to meet with Mr. Steele over the last nine months, including outreach to his attorneys,” they said. “We remain open to any credible offer to meet with Mr. Steele, whether in Washington or in London.”

Sundance has postulated that it’s a foregone conclusion DJT will walk away from NAFTA.
Over one-Trillion in trade is involved and Multi-national Corporations have billions if not more to lose from this gambit. They also don’t have a direct seat at the table to influence Trump’s decision because of the Lighthizer “honey-badgers” involved. So, if you were one of these globalists, what could you do?
Well, it’s pretty much a certainty that a rapid pullout from NAFTA would have a noteworthy negative effect on the Stock Market, at least in the short term. Not a problem, with the DOW sitting at record highs over 26,000. But what if the DOW were pushed down – way down – in a violent fashion that instilled fear in the hearts of many retail investors? Would DJT be so bold as to make a move against NAFTA then? Despite the pundits trying to explain why the market has shifted with nothing but good economic news coming in, have you really been convinced investors are now breathlessly chasing < 3% interest?
What if a market move such as this could be fairly easily pulled off (if you had tangible influence) using algorithmic traders (Market Makers) like VIRTU placing bids and making offers on huge volume, and executing orders on massive ETFs even after hours. What if these Market Makers could promise a client anonymity as well? Well they do,… and they just did.
The question now is, WHO is it doing the bidding? And, why does it feel like they are behind us?

Somehow they seem to tie Page and Sechin together and serendipitously asks if any “US law enforcement authorities have interviewed Page about meeting with Sechin, or any other ppl on a US sanctions list.”
🤔, now how did these Congressmen come to the conclusion that Page met with Sechin solely based on the WaPo article they cite for the claim?

I sincerely want to thank you Sundance for closing another loop for me. One of the principles by which I live is to do signal to noise analysis in my personal relationships, business dealings and political understanding. The notion comes from engineering where the goal in seemingly disparate disciplines — from sound processing to anti-ballistic missile radar — is to maximize the signal to noise ratio. It works well as a personal philosophy because 99% of what we see and hear is noise. Once the signal is separated out, all the noise can be ignored. You know the answer; move on.
The reason why I mention this is that I’ve been trying to figure Comey out since early 2016. Comey would not make a good poker player. For example, when he reopened the email investigation, his demeanor indicated that something was unstated, but to whom was he signaling? More recently, I have been trying to figure out his self-righteousness. Comey’s self-sanctimoniousness seems so far over the top that I have wondered whether he had a hole card on President Trump. Those were the two possibilities that I reckoned for his behavior: massively deluded self righteousness or a hole card.
Now that Sundance has unearthed these posts by his friend, I see the signal. Comey truly sees himself as a “profile in courage.” He doesn’t have a hole card. He is as deluded as he sounds. I can move on from Comey, and applying the same signal to noise ratio analysis, I can now begin to spot other dangerous swamp dwellers who are as deluded as Comey.
Find the signal and move on from the noise. Thank you, Sundance.

Warner was unwilling to do so.
As the entire committee is compromised, clearly Warner’s efforts were not apart from nor unknown to the committee. Thus, the committee as a whole wished to ensure they had a handle on Steele before they risked their enterprise on his testimony. Thus, Warner wasn’t trying to end run Burr, in secret, they were all trying to end run US. In secret. To scam US, without a record of their conivance.
