Interesting new developments in the growing story of the FBI and DOJ conducting a surveillance operation against candidate Trump in 2016, to include the use of an FBI and CIA informant.
Contrary to previous reporting, representative Peter King (R-NY) reveals that yesterday Devin Nunes and Trey Gowdy were not allowed to see the originating documents during their visit with the DOJ and FBI officials. Representative Trey Gowdy (U-DC) reluctantly admitted moments ago, the statement by Peter King was true.
The DOJ refused to allow Nunes & Gowdy access to the “EC” (electronic communication) document that initiated the FBI counterintelligence operation. Instead, Nunes and Gowdy were given an opaque description of the EC process; and told to come back next week if they wanted to talk more.
Additionally, Peter King reveals the DOJ and FBI are manipulating President Trump, and tricking him to believe declassifying information would endanger sources. WATCH:
Attempted coverup.

On the so-called Congressional “oversight” of intel agencies:
In 2007, reporter Charles Davis asked then-Chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee – Jay Rockefeller – about clandestine U.S. operations against a foreign government.
Here’s the money shot in the exchange:
DAVIS: Reports quote administration officials as saying this is going on and it’s being done in a way to avoid oversight of the Intelligence Committee. Is there any way—
ROCKEFELLER: They’ll go to any lengths to do that, as we’ve seen in the last two days [during hearings on FISA].
DAVIS: Is there anything you could do in your position as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee to find answers about this, if it is in fact going on?
ROCKEFELLER: Don’t you understand the way Intelligence works? Do you think that because I’m Chairman of the Intelligence Committee that I just say I want it, and they give it to me? They control it.

It seems to me that Mueller and the Deep State think they’re in a game of Chicken with President Trump where he will eventually give them an opening for them to “Scooter Libby” him. I don’t see why the president has any incentive to do anything other than let the clock run out on Mueller’s investigation which it will surely do sooner than later with the OIG report and the judges on the Flynn and Manafort cases playing it straight.
I used to worry that the Big Ugly had to be shown prior to the Midterms but the Left is doing a fine job of damaging their brand even further than it was left after Hillary. Plus it’s not like the Mueller clown show is really stopping President Trump from accomplishing his objectives. Even LoFo’s must be noticing that the Ogre known as Trump really ain’t all that bad, meanwhile the Left is represented by a gallery of whack jobs like Maxine and Nancy.
President Trump staying at arms length from the clown show denies Mueller and the Deep State and their propaganda media anything with which to drag him into the clown show. Let the Left own the clown show all the way to the end. It’s hurting them and not hurting the president.

The 2014 hack has nothing to do with the DNC emails published at Wikileaks which only includes the emails from January 1, 2015 until May 25, 2016. There is no way in hell Misfud could have told Papadopoulos about emails that could not have been stolen until May 25,2016. There were so few emails from 2015 that any retention policy in effect had to have caused the majority to have been deleted. The big trove was from April 18 through June 10, 2016. The 2014 hack is OFF THE TABLE as none were used by Wikileaks. This is a Trump-Russia-Wikileaks conspiracy being investigated.
Also, both Comey and Crowdstrike claim the Russians did not enter the DNC network for the hack being a subject of this investigation until Summer of 2015.
The DNC “report” about the hack was NOT PUBLIC. DNC IT personnel detected unauthorized access on April 29 was “reported” only to CEO Amy Dacey by the IT personnel. Therefore, it would not be known by Misfud on April 26 as it is doubtful any of the emails were exfiltrated prior to May 25th, the last date of an email published by Wikileaks. THEY ARE OFF THE TABLE.
This leaves the Podesta emails, which are the potentially most damaging, but I can’t see the Kremlin having them published at all, let alone that late in the campaign. The Russians would use them for BLACKMAIL, which cannot be done once they are published. However the timing does not eliminate them provided the reason Wikileaks did not publish them until October was because they were not exfiltrated until later in 2016 in one large download. We don’t know.

If Rosey or Wray or anybody else doesn’t bring the information and turn it over, unconditionally, you have the U.S. Marshals arrest them right there, by the Authority of We the People.
If they resist at all, smack them around like they do to regular Americans, and book them into general population at whatever sewer passes for a jail in D.C. If they’re lucky, they can get a bail hearing on Monday. Maybe Tuesday.
Make sure to get it all on film for the news, you’re going to want it when you run for president and win in 2024.

You got it. Congress has the authority to imprison those found in contempt (look up inherent contempt). DOJ/FBI has been given ample opportunity to comply and has repeatedly refused. They have been given every forbearance and they continue to defy Congress. This is unacceptable.

I tend to agree in theory…It should not taker a flipping year ( and never more than a week ) to get a document that has been asked for or under subpoena mostly because I am not sure what the laws are on this. There does not seem to be much bite on this punishment wise. But you are right, Congress is the governing body the FBI or CIA are not. They can issue a contempt order then what ? This is what is wrong with congress all of these investigations and that never seem to produce anything. ? I have watched congressional hearings after congressional hearing ad naseum…when testimony and documentation show a clear abuse or flat out violation of the law
My solution- Have a Congressional Court with actual Judges to fast track this crap to the SC if necessary. I dunno– no wonder the courts are clogged.

The procedure is to find a person in contempt, they are then arrested under a warrant issued by the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate as the case may be, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Pingback: Peter King: DOJ and FBI “Put One Over” On President Trump – Nunes and Gowdy Never Saw Documents – IOTW Report
Isn’t it possible Nunes and Gowdy were told that they want to delay giving them that info because it is part if a larger investigation and to hold a couple weeks or so?
Nunes and Gowdy didn’t come out of that meeting angry, nor did they accuse DOJ of stonewalling again.
They were told something, and something is up.

I strongly suspect you are correct. All indications are that when Huber is ready, an indictment storm is coming.
This can’t be rug swept, these bastards pay for sedition and the rules of the republic are restored, or patriots will have to get to work. The DOJ, FBI, and other E branch agencies are subjected to justice, one way or another.
The fuse is lit. Trump is watching and if it doesn’t happen, he can declassify everything. At that point, justice will be done.
We know far too much. We will know more soon. This week we learned of the planted spy.

I’ve noticed that some videos on this site (for me) are increasingly not working on Google Chrome but they play perfectly on Firefox.

It only fails on CTH.I checked out some MSM videos using Google Chrome (on mute to retain sanity) and there were no problems.

Interesting interview with Peter King. However, I think he is wrong in one respect i.e. that they are pulling one over on Trump. They may think they are, but they are not. President Trump knows exactly what is going on, and I believe he knows what is in those documents. The emergency EO that he signed in Dec 21 2017 gave him sweeping powers, and his intelligence (aided by the military) is second to none. I think he is letting this play out so that the public can see the step by step stonewalling/obstruction in details. It is hugely important that the public see and appreciate all of this. There are games being played here and roles adopted. All is not as it seems, but one thing I am convinced of is that President Trump is absolutely in control.

We think you’re absolutely right– no-one “puts one over” on DJT. As a true executive, smarter and tougher than all these puny li’l crumbums put altogether, to him this inside-baseball stuff is just a sideshow.
In letting Brennan-Clapper-Comey’s game play out, DJT is marking the “small group” for destruction as by (Space Command’s) extraordinary “Rod of the God”, the inert, kinetic, hyper-velocity shaft fired from low earth-orbit that destroyed wee Kim’s nuclear-test mountain last October, striking with a force one-third that of the Hiroshima bomb.
As usual, the prospective timing here is perfect. Once Stefan Halper’s mole-like subversions come to light (credit: Sundance/CTH), after much caterwauling Sturm-und-Drang not only will Mueller’s seditious libel be unwound but the “Intelligence Community’s” (IC) Deep State bosky dell [cf: “Midsummer Night’s Dream”, the Bard’s delightful term for Faerie Land, where spirits dwell] will dissipate, “and like the insubstantial fabric of this vision, leave not a wrack behind”.

Shines a new light on the other day story of Stefan Halper being the smoking gun. He may have been all the things Sundance stated about in his role to initiating the ‘EC’ but he was no Mole on the Campaign.
Could this be, “Who is being hidden from Congressional Oversight?”
“Would identity reveal the CIA placed a spy asset on the campaign that operated on US soil, breaking a major No,No?”
“Does identity reveal that it is someone still in adminstration?”
“Could identity explode a new ‘false’ narrative for the MSM that undermines the President at a time when Oversight and Howoritz should be moving in lock step?”

I don’t understand why POTUS hasn’t done what Congressman King stated, to just order Sessions and Rosenstein to allow Nunes and Gowdy the opportunity to review the documents in private.
I don’t see Rosenstein or even Sessions staying at the DOJ past this year. Sessions is in way over his head. He has too many friends in high places in D.C. from his years in the U.S. Senate. He is obviously struggling to work through this mess while trying not to step on too many toes. I also think that he has some skeletons in his closet that he’s trying to keep from coming out.
The DOJ needs an AG who is from the outside, someone who has integrity, is honest, who is held in high regard in the law enforcement community, and, who isn’t afraid to go after all of the bad players.
As for Rosenstein, he’s nothing more than a lying weasel, who I hope will be prosecuted for lying to Congress and also taking part in the FISA abuse scandal.
POTUS, it’s time to END THIS. Mueller has gone too far and is overreaching in his attempt to bring you down.

“Carter Page was an FBI Under-Cover Employee in 2013, and remained the primary FBI witness through May of 2016 throughout the case.
If Carter Page was working as a UCE (FBI undercover employee), responsible for the bust of a high level Russian agent in 2013 -and remained a UCE- throughout the court case UP TO May of 2016, how is it possible that on October 21st 2016 Carter Page is put under a FISA Title 1 surveillance warrant as an alleged Russian agent?
Conclusion: He wasn’t. The DOJ National Security Division and the FBI Counterintelligence Division, knew he wasn’t. The DOJ-NSD and FBI flat-out LIED.
Now, go back to the March 2016 DOJ Press Release of the guilty pleading for Evgeny Buryakov, announced from the New York office:
…”Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and John P. Carlin, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, announced”…
Because “FISA Title I” surveillance authority against a U.S. citizen is so serious (the U.S. government is essentially calling the target a spy), only a few people are authorized to even apply for such surveillance warrants. One of the four people authorized to make such a filing is the Asst. Attorney General who is head of the National Security Division of the DOJ. That person is John P Carlin.”
