British intelligence, apparently seeking to protect Robert Hannigan, the former Director of GCHQ; and Australian intelligence intelligence seeking to protect Alexander Downer, Foreign Affairs Minister and Ambassador to the U.K; have asked President Trump Trump NOT to release un-redacted FISA documents.
Chairman Devin Nunes discusses the involvement of the U.K and Australia, along with the conflict between DAG Rod Rosenstein and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe ‘s attempt at a Coup d’état to impeach President Trump.
.
The latest *claim* (defensive positioning) from the camp of Rod Rosentein, is that the Deputy AG enlisted Robert Mueller because Rosenstein viewed McCabe as intent on abusing his office to take down the president. This inherent risk is the reason team McCabe leaked the damaging information on Rosenstein to the New York Times.
PAPA not shutting up!
Impressed by his fighting spirit. His wife surely taught him a lot.
I doubt he would’ve been entrapped that easily with her on his side back then.
“After hearing the Australian media, during their interview of my wife @simonamangiante, tell her that “the professor”, Joseph Mifsud, the man who told me about “emails” was connected to the British MI6…i am floored. But not shocked at this point of how complicit the Brits are.”

Because the media is COMPLICIT, they won’t even aknowledge the soft coup, after the documents are released, unredacted, showing clearly there was a soft coup. They will be Bagdad Bob, right up to the end.
The American people at large are going to have to see the conspirators, eliciting (confessing) ON CAMERA, what they did and how they did it, in order to truly ‘ get it’.
THIS is the ONLY way the ‘average, low info voter’ and the many who don’t even bother to vote, and the victims of TDS are going to be edumacated.
And the only forum for this, is the Congressional hearings, ala Watergate.
Therefore, criminal cases against the conspirators need to be so airtite, and compelling, that there are no trials, only guilty pleas. And, testimony to Congress is coordinated with the Prosecution. The coupists are given LIMITED immunity, for Congressional testimony, so they can’t claim 5th, but the coordination is so their Congressional testimony (and immunity) doesn’t interfere with their prosecution.
THIS is what we get with a red tsunami.

When the DeepState Cabal commenced their attack on the (R) Party candidate, even before they knew it would be trump, they had their best strategists fashion a plan of attack that they thought would derail any (R).
Their error was that they were over confident. They were CERTAIN that HRC would win.
When Trump became the Candidate, they switched all of their sedition assets on bringing him down. Again, heir error was that they were over confident. HRC had it won already.
When PDJT won and was inaugurated, all they had was resist and launch a Special Counsel. THEY HAD NO Contingency plan should Trump win.
Again, their arrogance was their downfall. They were sure that their champion Mueller would be able to bring down PDJT.
That’s not happening. PDJT ORDERING the declassification of the documents will expose all of the cockroaches and rats, and many will be guilty of crimes that require prison. If we were at war, then some would get death.

The IG has now been directly handed the responsibility he was always supposed to have.

This went to the top, Obama, via Clapper, Brennan, and likely Rice and Powers, all of whom authored hundreds of referrals for illegal NSA take.
Although the FBI claims that Papadopoulos’ emails were recovered via a lawfully obtained search warrant, there is no doubt that the information was already in the hands of the U.K. and the U.S. intelligence community. The documents leaked by Edward Snowden in 2013 show definitively that such conversations were intercepted and retained by both the GCHQ and the NSA. Obtaining material for prosecution from intelligence sources that will be allowed into a court proceeding is known as parallel construction.
“What Ray McGovern and I were thinking is that the whole conspiracy about the Russian narrative was concocted by Brennan and then most likely approved by Obama. This is what I told Pompeo when I was in with him. It requires the NSA, CIA, FBI, DNI, DNC and the DOJ to be coordinating — especially for things like the Steele dossier. The only one place they all come together and can be ordered to coordinate and cooperate is the president — which was Obama. The DOJ doesn’t fall under the DNI or anybody else — only the president,” Binney told The Gateway Pundit. ”

In this case, if Rosenstein thinks that the FBI under McCabe et al. will do a corrupt investigation of Trump, “protecting the institution” requires getting the investigation out of the FBI so they are not given the opportunity to do a corrupt investigation.
So RR appoints Mueller.
Imagine Rosenstein watching the staffing of the Mueller investigation and seeing Lisa Page dropped in there by the FBI – when there was no obvious reason for her to be there (as she admitted in her texts).
No wonder Mueller and his team was suspicious of her from the start and excluded her (as she admitted in her texts).

No matter what RR said or didn’t say, he is/was compromised both then and now because he signed the FISA app, he was involved in Uranium One, and his wife has been a Clinton defense attorney throughout decades of their scandals. He has more conflicts of interest than Sessions ever did and yet Sessions was pressured to recuse himself from all things Clinton while RR continues to run the show.
I think Sessions/Wray/Rosenstein/DOJ have convinced POTUS that they ARE cleaning up the mess through IG Harowitz and that declassification would damage public support their beloved institutions and may even cause chaos/riots in the streets, in the prisons, in the courts. It could erode the public’s trust in the rule of law to potentially dangerous levels, etc.,etc. These DC elites believe that they are guardians and protectors of the stupid little people. They are telling PDJT that exposing the truth may not be in the best interest of the people—even if it validates or exonerates him. I think RR is acting out of pure self preservation but Sessions may actually fear that the truth is too much for “the people” to handle, that the potential consequences of declassification aren’t worth it. I’m just speculating but I know our president has our best interests at heart and he would consider this kind of advice, no matter what motivates the advisors. At least temporarily. My gut feeling is that those documents —especially McCabe’s yet to be seen memos and texts-are damning beyond what we already suspect. There will likely be talk of the 25th amendment, assassination, entrapment ideas, etc. I think these small group members brainstormed out loud at their meetings. McCabe not only led the discussion, he wrote down every word of what everybody said or suggested. It is Andy McCabe who threatened to take “the whole place down” with him if he was fired or indicted. I hope he makes good on his threat. He hasn’t been indicted yet because Rosey knows he has the goods on him and everyone else.
RR should be fired. He’s the gatekeeper, the protecter of all of them. He will try to control, alter, spin, and redact the next IG report just like he did with the first one. He needs to go.

The dismissal includes Preet Bharara, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who had been asked by Trump to stay on in November….

In this instance, I believe you are correct. I don’t know of anyone else in government that can handle this corruption at DOJ and FBI except current DOJ and they won’t do it because they themselves are corrupted and conflicted.
For example, Trump can ask someone to prosecute but no one will do anything. Sessions will run hide and RR is a part of this. None of them will act. It is frustrating to me and I am sure PT.
Perhaps after the election this fall PT can clean house. Perhaps not. I know he will do it when he is in a position to do it and right now he seems unable to act. We don’t know the facts so I just trust PT to do this when he can.

Sundance, it’s not the FISA that the UK and Australia are worried about. Devin Nunes said towards the end of his interview, that there is nothing in the FISA about them. Just a guess, but I’d say it has to do with the 302s with Bruce Ohr?
Again, as far as I can tell no one has seen the 302s and they are about his contacts with Christopher Steele. Do not recall when the 302s were first reported on …. before or after Ohr’s testimony?

Rosenstein has promised that IG Horowitz will release a report before the election revealing that there was never any basis for the Mueller investigation. That report will leave out British and Australian complicity in the anti-Trump conspiracy. If the Horowitz report doesn’t come out in time, Trump will release the unredacted documents. Here are Trump’s tweet describing this position on September 21:
In return, British Prime Minister May told the EU that she will exit Brexit without a trade deal unless she can negotiate a separate trade deal with Trump. Here is her statement about this the same day:

If the IG has ongoing investigations into all this soft coup operation, should he not be the individual to decide what can be unredacted in the documents at this time and what needs to be repressed temporarily?

And ultimately, if the President gets pissed at His timeliness, he retained the power to release at his pleasure.

I could be wrong about that but I do recall that Wray was, for a long time, considered a possible white hat and possibly operating with the IG or Huber. Then later, that thinking mostly collapsed when Wray gave that useless speech about needing to implement bias training after the release of the OIG report #2.

I see a need to clarify thinking hear as it relates to Australia. First MSM here is corrupt. They love and support our left Labor Party and love and support even more the Greens who are even further to the left. In 2012 PM Kevin Rudd (Labor) announced a carbon tax. Conservatives were outraged enough to demonstrate in large numbers (civilly). Leader of the conservative party (Liberals) Tony Abbott opposed this and was elected in a landslide in 2013. Once in office he ‘stopped the boats’ where individuals and families had been flying to Indonesia and Malaysia (clearly with paperwork) and they paying large sums to fishermen to take them to Australia in rickety boats. Many drowned. He also stated Australia would not sign the Paris agreement.
The media began to produce polls (you know about those) showing Abbott was becoming unpopular. Each subsequent poll had him lower. This provided an excuse for Malcolm Turnbull (or Turdbull as I think of him) to rally enough weak kneed losers in the ranks to back him in doing a Julius Caesar on Abbot in 2015 and Turdbull became PM. He initially applied to join the Labor party. They said sure, but you can never be our leader because you were never in a union!! So he went to the Libs and those idiots took him even though it should have been clear even to Blind Nelly that his goals were to become a PM and introduce left policies. He was big in supporting the NWO. He couldn’t sign on to Paris quickly enough. Downer, never likeable before, so obviously became Turdbull’s man and he was an open Clinton sycophant. It was he who sent millions of Australian taxpayer dollars to The Clinton Foundation. Realising how hated he and they had become, the Liberals finally did the same to Turdbull who is currently licking his wounds in New York with our media carrying reports of how badly he was treated and how we will all be sorry! Turdbull often sneered about President Trump and our MSM lapped it up.
Whilst Abbott was PM Downer would never have risked this kind of action. But Turdbull made his dislike of President Trump clear though his media allies. Many Australian conservatives like myself love President Trump and only wish he could be cloned. At least the new Liberal PM is of the Abbott mould. He does not have a lot of time to rebuild before the Federal election next year but has made a good start despite the expected rubbishing he is getting in the MSM whose bitterness over the loss of their hero is blatant.
So just wanting to point out to the Treehouse that it’s not ‘Australia’ but our former NWO PM and his Foreign Minister. Both are gone now. Praise the Lord.

Don’t see it being mentioned elsewhere so here goes. This request by Intelligence is because the Queen had to be told and she knows and has known from the time 45 knew. She has long known.
The Queen, remains the ultimate authority of the military, with officers and personnel swearing allegiance only to the monarch. This is to ensure that Government Officials (including the Prime Minister) can be arrested for committing indictable offences just as any normal citizen, and are therefore not ‘above the law’ unlike the Monarch.
PDJT has leverage. The Queen is fine with it most likely said …clean your house however you wish you have my full support. Her long reign would have taught her that you don’t plot a coup of a Democratic Nation and idly watch. Especially if she/ you are the Commander in Chief of her key ally. No matter what she thought of 45 as a man. This is was an unthinkable act by her nation and she has limits …but not entirely limited to bring these people before HER military.
