The ‘Woods File’ is the mandatory FBI evidence file that contains the documentary proof to verify all statements against U.S. persons that are contained in any FISA application. Remember, this is a secret court, the FISA applications result in secret Title-1 surveillance and wiretaps against U.S. persons, outside fourth amendment protections.
The absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence. However, in the case of the “missing” or “reconstructed” Woods file used to gain a Title-1 FISA surveillance warrant against U.S. person Carter Page, the overwhelming evidence shows there never was one. The Special Counsel manufactured the appearance of one ex post facto in 2018.
Here’s how we can tell:
♦ FIRST – Common Sense: Recent reports of the DOJ, FBI or NSD “losing” the Woods file are abjectly silly on their face. Given the specific importance of this specific case there’s no reasonable person who would believe such a critical file of underlying evidence would just go missing and have to be recreated by the Weissmann special counsel.
♦ SECOND – Precedent: In the March 30, 2020, memorandum written by the Office of Inspector General after review of 29 DOJ-NSD FISA applications, the IG noted the absence of Woods Files is not an uncommon occurrence. Factually within the 29 FISA applications reviewed, four were completely missing the Woods File. Meaning there was zero supportive evidence for any of the FBI claims against U.S. persons underpinning the FISA applications. [ie. The FBI just made stuff up]
♦ THIRD – How Would They Get Away With That?: To answer that question it is important to remember the DOJ-National Security Division, the entity responsible for the legal assembly of FISA applications, did not have any oversight. In 2015 the OIG requested oversight and it was Deputy AG Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58 page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
The DOJ-NSD could get away with the lack of legal requirements because there was no entity providing oversight to ensure the completeness of the legal requirements they were supposed to follow. Not coincidentally this is the exact division within the DOJ that weaponized FARA investigations as the justification for political surveillance. [That becomes important later when we get to Carter Page specifics]
♦ FOURTH – Trish Anderson Admission: The Deputy General Counsel for the FBI National Security & Cyber Law Branch (NSCLB), Trisha Beth Anderson, admitted during her testimony to congress that she never verified the existence of the Woods File, nor its content. Anderson stated she never even reviewed the FISA application for appropriate assembly because it came to her from an unusual top-down process.
In front of a joint session of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees on Aug. 31, 2018, former FBI Deputy General Counsel Trisha Anderson said she was normally responsible for signing off on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications before they reached the desk of her superiors for approval. Anderson said the “linear path” those applications typically take was upended in October 2016, with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates signing off on the application before she did. Because of that unusual high-level involvement, she didn’t see the need to “second guess” the FISA application. (link)
Why did she do this? Trish Anderson disclosed why in her previously hidden testimony to congress (August 2018). [LINK]
Anderson said all FISAs need to be signed off on in the FBI’s National Security Law Branch, where she was assigned at the time. Anderson said she was the Senior Executive Service approver for the “initiation” of the Page FISA, including determining whether there is legal sufficiency.
But Anderson stressed “in this particular case, I’m drawing a distinction because my boss and my boss’ boss had already reviewed and approved this application.” She emphasized “this one was handled a little bit differently in that sense, in that it received very high-level review and approvals — informal, oral approvals — before it ever came to me for signature.”
Anderson said that FISA approvals are typically “tracked in a linear fashion” and that someone in the Senior Executive Service “is the final approver on hard copy before a FISA goes to the director or deputy director for signature.” She said the Page FISA was approved outside regular procedures. (more)
Anderson had signed-off on earlier Page FISA applications because they came to her already signed: ex. by James Comey (FBI) and Sally Yates (DOJ).
“Because there were very high-level discussions that occurred about the FISA,” Anderson said she believed that meant “the FISA essentially had already been well-vetted all the way up through at least the Deputy Director [McCabe] level on our side and through the DAG [Yates] on the DOJ side.” Yates had already signed the application by the time it made it to Anderson’s desk.
When Trish Anderson signed-off on the last Carter Page FISA renewal (June 29, 2017) the Special Counsel was now running the DOJ. Andrew Weissmann, formerly of the DOJ-NSD, was running the special counsel operation. Meanwhile FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was in position and running the FBI.
This was the third renewal where Office of General Counsel (OGC) lawyer Kevin Clinesmith fabricated evidence to hide that Carter Page was working with, and was a source for, the CIA.
Again, Deputy General Counsel Trish Anderson rubber-stamped the application because it came with pre-approval from above. Anderson never saw, nor questioned, any underlying documentation; or the absence thereof. The lack of supportive documentation, a Woods File, passed her review because the application had pre-approval by her supervisors.
♦ FIFTH – IG Horowitz Provides Cover for Institutional Issues: Within his December 2019, IG report on the four FISA applications, Inspector General Horowitz covers for the issue of missing supportive evidence by saying the customary procedure for the Woods File verification is not needed when the evidence involves a confidential human source (CHS):
This description is entirely consistent with the DOJ and FBI using the Chris Steele dossier as a replacement for the Woods File procedures. Under this sketchy justification Steele would be an FBI confidential human source (CHS). Ergo, the dossier served as the underpinning and the only requirement would be for the application to “accurately reflect what [Steele] told the FBI”. That’s how they pulled this off.
♦ SIXTH –Everyone knew it was BS – AGAIN FARA (Remember, FARA via DOJ-NSD had no oversight) this is part of the corrupt process: Senator Johnson’s FISA timeline, citing page 62 of the IG report, states categorically that FBI HQ ordered the New York Field Office to open a Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) investigation of Carter Page on April 1, 2016, and that the NYFO did so on April 6, 2016.
Since Carter Page’s alleged Russian agent status (“an agent of a foreign government”) is the critical predicate for the original and three renewal FISA applications [core of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation], how can Crossfire Hurricane team maintain they did not open investigation until July 31, 2016?
Carter Page joined the Trump campaign March 21, 2016, eleven days before the order, and ten days after the Buryakov press release identified him to the Russians as the (undercover employee) UCE responsible for burning three of their SVR agents.
Not only is is incredibly unlikely that Page — who was still on the witness list for Buryakov’s prosecution until his sentencing on May 25, 2016 — was thought an appropriate subject for recruitment by the Russians, even after associating with the Trump campaign… but even if he was, the opening of the April 6, 2016, FARA investigation by the NYFO almost four months before Crossfire Hurricane “officially” opened meant the FBI’s investigation into a Trump campaign associate began long before they say it did.
Add to that reality the fact the FARA order likely came from FBI HQ via Bill Priestap, and there is no way the FBI could credibly believe a UCE they knew responsible for burning three SVR agents had been recruited by the same SVR due to his recent association with the Trump campaign. It was all smoke and mirrors.
♦ CONCLUSION: Taking all the above into proper context, when the office of inspector general announced on March 28, 2018, that he was going to review all four of the Carter Page FISA applications; no doubt the office of the special counsel, Andrew Weissmann; who was previously the DOJ-NSD FARA targeting coordinator; moved swiftly to create the appearance of a Woods File where none previously existed. That led to the Woods Procedure justification as stated by the IG.
There never was a Woods File. The FBI and DOJ relied upon the Chris Steele Dossier as the evidence to support the FISA application. Chris Steele was identified as a Confidential Human Source, and his dossier was qualified as a replacement for the Woods File.
That’s exactly what happened. I guarantee it.
The rule of law is dead. Now we are left with naked tyranny. The evidence of such surrounds us. It’s time to accept this reality and proceed.
YOUR LAWS MEAN NOTHING!
In the book STORY by Robert McKee about screenwriting, this is called the negation of the negation, the 3rd turning point of conflict for the hero, which leads to the beat “all hope is lost”….of course, in STORY, this leads to a marshalling of the last bit of will, where the hero goes to battle against the absolute corrupt forces arrayed against him, usually leading to an ultimate triumph after the hero has made a moral choice at the end (think Charlie’s decision to give back the everlasting gobbstopper rather than profit from it…or Luke’s decision to risk destruction from the Emporer and save his father)
My point is, we will soon be reaching a point where we will have to marshall all of our resources and make a decision on whether we want to continue our daily lives and keep our heads down while tyranny roams among us OR whether we will risk it all and make the moral choice to secure freedom and liberty for ourselves and posterity
It has been dead.
Gov has their own rules. They give themselves immunity. THEY MAKE THE RULES FOR US AND FOR THEM. They give themselves immunity from wrongdoing.
They make their own rules, in such way that they have unstoppable power.
On Teevee, they have to convince us, they do have checks and balances and it’s not a free for all. But when you pay attention to everything they get away with there aren’t checks and balances.
They do whatever they want.
Look back as far as you want to… same crowd, rotating between the agencies, same politician ruling for decades. Same club in charge.
They can successfully hide the 2 tier justice system because it is supposed to be national security sensitive matters so we the public don’t have the right know their sources and methods.
Yeah litte people… we can’t tell you how things work because it’s top secret. Only insiders can have those kind of information. So to investigate us, we only allow insiders who know the inside rules and they are classified. You will never know.
“Factually within the 29 FISA applications reviewed, four were completely missing the Woods File.”
Why would an FBI agent file a FISA app. knowing there was no documentary evidence to back up the applications claims. They aren’t stupid, just corrupt. It seems to me they would only do it repeatedly if they knew the judge wouldn’t even try to read the non-existent Woods files. What kind of judge, especially one dealing with sensitive civil rights and national security issues, wouldn’t demand to see the Woods Files? If no one is going to jail it’s because the FISC judges want it that way.
“ To answer that question it is important to remember the DOJ-National Security Division, the entity responsible for the legal assembly of FISA applications, did not have any oversight.”
But aren’t the FISC judges supposed to be the ultimate oversight? Why is vicarious liability not applicable in the legal profession/judiciary?
Feature, not bug, of growing a stealth unaccountable autocracy?
In theory, maybe. But in practice, evidence and statistics proved FISC judges “rubber stamped” the vast majority of what came across their desks.
FISC Presiding Judge Mary Collyer’s 99 page report (in December 2019) that rebuked the FBI’s continuous violation of procedures for many years, also served to prove that there was essentially no FISC verification of the FBI’s FISA warrant applications for the same long time period at the very minimum.
The entire process was an “honor” system being abused by a federal LEA that had and still has no honor.
I sure want to see Collyers’ & Boasberg’s decisions fully unredacted, as well as the Page FISA Warrant & the 3 Renewals.
I really can’t believe these bozos are going to go w/o being tried for sedition or RICO violations & go on with their schemes to prevent Pres. Trump from getting re-elected & from taking office.
Republicans have been called “Enemies of the State” by the SOTH. Pray hard & talk hard to all who will listen. It’s all about losing our rights & liberties if the Democrat Communist Fascists win.
They shopped for the right Judge, that evidence is in Stzork text messages to lisa
“the overwhelming evidence shows there never was one. ”
Spooky,
To cut to the chase, we already knew the FBI was rotten to the top and those below knew the top was rotten. This is a rotten department. Fish and departments rot from the head down. Wray is rotten too.
The nuclear bomb is that the Judicial branch is rotten from the top Chief Supreme Court Justice Roberts to the Secret FISA court he is directly responsible for.
Your point is that the FISA court is corrupt, rotten, and the evidence is that given FISA already knows DOJ & FBI have been snooping illegally, there massive reason to question every warrant with a magnifying glass. It did not. Roberts has done nothing to fix glaring problems in a secret court.
We are in big trouble beyond just judicial overreach. The DC Circuit court Flynn case should have red flags flapping and horns blowing, yet Roberts lets the judicial circus play on.
We have a Republic disaster, it is on the rocks. Worse, the vote rigging threat is extreme.
One step at a time, first reelect Trump and win as many House and Senate seats as possible, God willing that will give the platform to fix the Judicial, FBI, DOJ. The intel agencies are a huge question.
Mayor and States too need massive purging of Communists, as does the education institutions.
Then there is the $BigGlobalCoprMedia & Corrupt-Tech.
LOL, no problem. A task for Hercules, Trump is up to it too.
It is why, truly, In God We Trust.
“Roberts lets the judicial circus play on”.
Can he do anything until someone asks him to? ie… just knowing there is a problem, can he step in at this level?
Probably not. He probably thinks that the intelligence community has 7 ways from Sunday to punish him.
Remember what Cardinal Comey said under Oath in front of Congress; that it was extremely difficult to get approval for a FISA warrant. [the approval rating in 98%!!!]
Not wishing to be hyperbolic, but I think you’re understating the problem. The system is rotten to the core. Four years after Trump got elected and we have two prosecutions, Clinesmith and Wolfe? Both were given slaps on the wrist and wouldn’t even have received those if facts hadn’t leaked. The statutes of limitation are running on the others.
And, what are the other miscreants doing? They’re busy making millions with book deals, CNN/MSNBC contracts and GoFundMe pages. Crime does pay. Their might be some petty prosecutions from here on out, but the truly guilty will get away with it.
Which begs the real question: Can it be fixed? Anything’s possible, but that’s not the way the smart money bets. The smart money has already rigged the system. Unrigging it is a tall order and, as mentioned, I doubt it’s possible. Even if it were possible with the right election outcome, they’re already making moves to ensure that doesn’t occur. They were fooled four years ago; they won’t make the same mistake twice.
This is reminiscent of the other “Woods file’–Rosemary Woods.
I think it’s fairly apparent that a judge(s) were in on the coup from the outset.
you have to think like a criminal..
when you never produce a woods file… probable cause then becomes a non.legal issue.
think about it carefully… they knew that producing a woods file would draw or at least potentially draw eyes to inspect how probable cause was developed… and that would require falsifying and fabricating YET ANOTHER material legal record.
agent x:. we want to spy
uppers:. do you have probable cause?
agent x: yes ..we “believe so”
uppers: sounds good..where do I sign?
see it works because no one is actually challenging or inspecting for probable cause… it’s simply trust…or more succinctly… it’s a known ruse..
the lack of a Wood’s file was ontentional. it was not carelessness… or even crummy work… it was a conspiracy with dead stops to firewall accountability.
when wray and barr talk about changes to procedures… don’t fall for it.
FBI has seemingly unchallenged power to do whatever they want…to anyone.
the modern FBI is THE DEEP STATE.
THEY HUSTLE operations in lock step with a very broad agenda that even congress and the president himself cannot intervene.
secret police spy powers.
those that wield it have ultimate power…
we do live in a police state…
sad but true.
Ain’t nobody going to jail. Peter Strzok is campaigning against trump as I type. Nobody has gone to jail except REPUBLICANS. Gee guys, what’s it take? Suddenly all those thousand sealed indictments are going to be executed AFTER the election? May I please buy some of that you’re smoking.

Who are today’s active and greatest American historians?
I wonder if Sundance or us for that matter might want to connect with these people to ensure they know the truth about the following crimes that have been gone without punishment so the historians can document and memorialized these unpunished crimes for all current and future generations to see forever.
So, IMO when people ask, how did we get to where we are today, history coupled with the documented facts of these unpunished crimes can point to all of these major crimes as part of the reason that contributed to the destruction of the Republic as we know it today.
1) The attempted coup and spying on a Presidential candidate and then sitting President
2) The framing of a National Security Director
3) The lying to a FISA Court 4 times
4) The leaking of the Carter Page FISA to the media
5) The falsification, withholding and destruction of FIB evidence
6) The refusal to indict any of the 14 referrals from Congress
7) The unmasking of hundreds of Americans
8) The Illegal spying on thousands of Americans via NSA Contractors who extracted this information via FIB terminals and the Adm. Rodgers & Judge Collyer audit & 99 page report as hard evidence.
There’s no point. The universities are intellectual brothels without a shred of integrity left. Gary Allen had this right in “None Dare Call It Conspiracy” 58 years ago. Collier and Horowitz did it again later in the 80s with “Destructive Generation”. Higher ed gave Bomb-Throwing Bill Ayers a tenured slot, what else do you need to know? NONE of them will acknowledge Joe McCarthy was right about Soviet espionage (to be precise a non-tenured author, Timothy Weiner, wrote a pretty good history of the FBI “Enemies” where he gets it mostly right about the espionage but goes on to argue that it didn’t make any difference in the end. The gold standard about these matter remains Diana West although “In Denial” by Haynes and Klehr zeroes in on the hackademics who literally ran away from the evidence because it showed McCarthy was right.

I think the Woods Procedure is just that. A procedure. Not a law.
It’s an inside agency guidelines. Not a federal law, am I right?
It’s like you wearing jeans for a meeting at work. It’s not illegal, but it is against company rules and you can get called out and asked to change clothes or be punished, but not jailed.
If it is a law well it was treated as a company rule.
Anyone remembers who testified and said that?
It wasn’t Sally Moyer but it was a female.
The Wood’s procedures are not mere guidelines, but are mandatory rules promulgated by the FISC. They’re available here: https://fisc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/FISC%20Rules%20of%20Procedure.pdf
caldeplorable: Mandatory rules do not a law make. The fisc cannot make laws. They can make rules, but you can’t prosecute someone for breaking a rule. I
Name says it all: PROCEDURE
NOT law.
Not in the Federal Code.
Not in Code of Federal Regulations
Developed internally by an FBI attorney.
EEEEEEExatly!
Someone testified and said just that. I wish I remembered the name so I could read the transcript and find it that
But some woman said it was just a procedure and they never really follow… something like not in these words but close.
Kleen: You are correct.
Page 188 of the IG report. (sudance pointed this out)
Read this carefully.
DOJ page of 4thAmendmentRestored.com
AG Barr – you can go down as a Great AG , or
by purposefully ignoring what the PSS said and only verifying that STEELE said Truthful Lies (their perversion of the Woods) they committed a fraud on the court.
Page 188 is the CRIME.
Weismenn only did the WOODS to DETACH HIMSELF from the PSS and use the STEEL “truthful” do BEND Judge Sullivan OVER again and show him how much he respects him.
The timing looks like the FBI was advised the steele ‘CHS” allegations were BS while the FISC was considering the first extension request, before granting the FISA extension.
The allegations, and the lack of need for a ‘woods file’ evaporated at that moment. The FBI immediately had a required duty to advise the FISC, which the FBI violated. And even after the FISC issued the FISA extension, the DOJ/FBI had an absolute duty to advise the FISC that representations made to the court were repudiated by the CHS, and there was no woods file. The FISC must rely on the FBI/DOJ complying with its own rules – violation requires so advising the Court.
This is a fraud perpetrated for each subsequent FISA extension. Weissman/meuller faking a ‘woods file’ later, because their ‘excuse’ for not having one, evaporated when the “CHS” said “BS”. The conspiracy 18 USC 241, 242 fraud continued.
Barr claims that this fraud, conspiracy, and denial of civil rights under color of law is “political”, so the perps in his self-fabricated “political silo” can’t be prosecuted.
It is simple – By refusing to prosecute lying under oath, faking an unconstitutional spy warrant, leaking classified info, refusing to release evidence of criminality as authorized by PDJT, etc, Barr is aiding and abetting the conspiracy, obstructing justice, and failing to perform his sworn duty to protect the due process Constitution rights of citizens and faithfully execute the laws.
It is simple-By refusing to prosecute lying under oath, faking an unconstitutional spy warrant, leaking classified info, refusing to release evidence of criminality as authorized by PDJT, etc,
Breaking this down….
1) lying under oath
2) leaking classified info
Prosecuting these crimes (assuming they were successful) would not result in a co-conspirator flipping on the other conspirators involved in the CONSPIRACY (however you want to define that conspiracy “to obstruct justice”, “seditious conspiracy”, etc):
There’s no leverage here.
FBI officials (Comey, McCabe,Baker) if (BIG IF) convicted would serve little IF ANY time at all.
(PapaD got 14 days from a DC judge and he was an “enemy”…a Trump guy)
3) “faking an unconstitutional spy warrant”
The spy warrant wasn’t “FAKED” it was real and issued by a judge.
The application for the warrant was also REAL.
There was no Woods File because the Wood Procedures say the FBI DOESN’T NEED ONE if the info comes from a CHS.
That leaves the omissions and lies as the “faking”
So who do you charge for the “faking” and what do you charge them with?
ONE person didn’t “fake” it………SEVERAL were involved.
Several = CONSPIRACY
This IS the issue for Barr: PROVING A CONSPIRACY
This still remains to be seen (though I’m not holding my breath)
CP FISA 3/4 have been invalidated and sequestration of materials ordered.
Clinesmith MAY be of help here (see shipwreckedcrew’s analysis of this)
HERE:https://uncoverdc.com/2020/09/01/andrew-weissmann-wants-kevin-clinesmith-to-stop-snitchen/
4) “refusing to release evidence of criminality as authorized by PDJT”
NOT A CRIME and also…
NOT TRUE
PDJT gave “declassification” authority NOT an order to release evidence of criminality
Horowitz has released 4 reports full of “criminality” and
Congress, ODNI and Barr’s DOJ has released troves of evidence.
Much of it presented and analyzed by Sundance on this very site.
In fact, he has USED some of it to prove his James Wolfe “fork in the road” moment.
A Treeper with a “Grand Jury” of Treepers on a blogsite….can indict a Ritz Cracker”
Proving a conspiracy in court is another matter altogether.
In other words….
It’s so simple to say “it is simple”
Address this…
Jan 2017 they were informed it WAS A LIE. so Weismenn said LETS TRY TO GET TRUMP.
they failed.
then weismann – fabricated the WOODs for only one reason.
one reason, one reason, one reason, one reason, one reason….
To make it about STEELE and not his SOURCE.
read the IMAGE!
I already addressed this.
Here again:
WHY did the SCO (Weismann) create a Wood’s File AT ALL??
According to the Woods Procedures of the FBI they didn’t need to.
Horowitz lays out the Woods Procedure vis-a-vis a CHS:
““when information is attributed to a CHS the Woods Procedures require ONLY that an agent verify, with supporting documentation, that the application accurately reflects what the CHS TOLD THE FBI .”
The case that needs to made is not treason, sedition, lying or leaking….
It’s CONSPIRACY. Damn hard to do when the conspirators are lawyers and lawmen
The Special Counsel’s Investigation seems to be the juiciest target to make that case if it’s to be made at all.
SEE:https://uncoverdc.com/2020/09/01/andrew-weissmann-wants-kevin-clinesmith-to-stop-snitchen/
While “intent” does not necessarily be made in a conspiracy, “Weismann” creating a Woods File ex-post-facto presents yet another problem for the SCO:
Using CHS Steele’s info in lieu of a Woods File to get the CP FISA approved in 2016
was/is perfectly acceptable according to the FBI’s own interpretation of the Woods Procedure.
It ONLY becomes a problem for the Special Counsel Office in 2017 because they needed to DISAVOW EVERYTHING STEELE DOSSIER related to keep their “investigation” going which had already “COLLAPSED in January 2017” (Bill Barr)
As Mueller testilied: He didn’t look use the dossier….it was out of his purview.
Their actions to create a “fake” Wood’s File IS evidence of intent.
More problems for the SCO:
Shipwreckedcrew’s article (above) describes the “Clinesmith information” and his possible utility to providing evidence of conspiracy.
Durham is on record DEC 9 2019 (when the Horowitz report came out)
“Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”
https://www.justice.gov/usao-ct/pr/statement-us-attorney-john-h-durham
Add the Danchenko material that PRE-DATES SCO:

SCO handling of Papadopoulos and Mifsud
SEE HANS MAHNKE interview:
(Hans knows more about PapaD/Mifsud than probably anybody.)
And let’s not forget the information SD recently presented to Durham’s chief investigator himself showing the SCO interfering in the Wolfe case.
Nailing down the pre-election conspiracy is very difficult…..the SCO conspiracy seems an easier “get”.
If someone want to get it.
I’m pointing out the GOD DAMN steele file is A THROW!!!!!
its Nellie Ohr’s “proto dossiers” that were used! NSA DATABASE
and they retroactively fed in IGOR DANCHENKO to verifiy it! except he TOLD the crossfire team it WAS BULLSHIT in jan 2017
its a GD CRIMe – stop FCKing pretending this is hard to prove!

Fine BARR can deal with the JURY pools disallowing or DISCOUNTING everything a FBI agent has penned into his notes for inclusion in the FBI’s FABRICATION & FRAUD FORMS! … If I were on a JURY I would never take a 302 as a factual account of the events of the interview, UNLESS the defendant states the words were not misquoted, or selectively edited and are a fair representation of what they conveyed in such interview.
Video AND/OR audio is everywhere and costs nothing, any excuse to the contrary is a back door for the corrupted agents at the FBI to fabricate something, THEY COULD EVEN LIE to the person they interviewed and say they have the interviewee lying to FBI agents – OH WAIT THAT’S WHAT THEY DID TO FLYNN!!!
To allow them the opportunity to DO THIS AGAIN is LUDICROUS and would amount to complicity… if we allow it once without pinching off the HEAD we get what we deserve.
‘krashman’, is that you comey?
The FISAs were “FAKE” ab initio. as in intentionally fraudulent. As in fabricated by hillary, lied for, and used for a false purpose – naming s fake “Target” (page) as a fake ‘russian agent’ (knowing this to be false and having worked with page as a CIA/FBI asset). The false purpose was to spy on the entire GOP campaign, the President, the Cabinet, Trump’s family without having to show Constitutional Probable Cause for any of them.
Evil Fraud. Lying to the FISC, signing under oath, lying to the FISC that the ‘human source’ lies were ‘verified’ when they knew they were repudiated. Failing to ‘verify’ the steele ‘source’ from the beginning. Continuing to lie to the FISC throughout the extension proceedings, after the CHS lies evaporaated. .
All lies, coordinated. Use of wire fraud to defraud. Deprivation of civil rights requirements of Due Process and Probable cause for spying 18 USC 241, 242. Destruction of evidence, destruction of government property, obstruction of justice. Perjury. lots more.
C’mon man… get a grip. These are easy cases.
Easy?
Prosecuted a lot of conspiracy cases have you?
You haven’t even a given a single name of whom to charge.
The best targets appear to be those that worked in the Mueller Special Counsel’s investigation though.
Barr expects people to accept that a coup plot can’t be prosecuted because what would be political. No one buys it Barr. No one.
Yes Beau…
the timing was OH SHIT – we didnt know SSA DUGAN CAUGHT us
Sundance – What date was Weisman informed of the Wolfe case? What date did the Wood’s file get fabricated? DING DING.
Purpose – to HIDE that the PSS TOLD crossfire hurricane it WAS FAKE FALSE.
They commited a Fraud on the court – intent is proven with making Steele the “truthful” and not the “PSS”
What ever happened to the OSS. Wild Bill Donovan would have never allowed the Cia to become what it is today. How the HELL John Brennan ever made it in is beyond me, letting a communist black hat infiltrate into the CIA. And then the list of spies including Mueller, Comey and other black hats infiltrate the FBI..give me a break. If you don’t think I know what I am talking about, I have been an acquaintance and friend of the Donovan family for years. Nikita had a good plan to infiltrate these organizations with communist stooges and it looks like he succeeded. They were compromised in their clandestine operations with money sex and power. They lost their sense of decency and patriotism to the dark side.
Don’t get me wrong there are good people in these organizations who are Patriots and love this country and not worrying about who the are going to sleep with or moving up the ladder of success and how much money their going to make. The current director Wrey is no exception. He is as crooked as they come who has seduced Rosenstein and Barr.
I truly hope some of these culprits end up breaking rocks for a living in Gitmo
And remember, Bill Priestap was the supervising agent for all FARA investigations performed by the New York Field Office in 2013, when Page was the UCE placing electronic surveillance within the SVR Residentura in New York City. In other words, he was supervising the agents who were running Page against Sporyshev and Podobnyy, the two SVR agents who were running Buryakov as an unregistered foreign agent. Even though he left that position sometime in 2014 or 2015, and eventually head to FBI HQ to oversee FARA investigations, he was responsible for Page operationally throughout his contact with Sporyshev and Podobnyy, and would have known everything operationally about the Buryakov investigation and prosecution when the US Attorney for SDNY announced Buryakov’s guilty plea on March 11, 2016. He would have known all of this information — Page’s UCE status, his operational importance to burning three SVR agents — when the order to open a FARA investigation into Page came down through his office on April 1, 2016.
Page was a key chain of custody witness against Buryakov. Without his testimony, SDNY could not prove up the predicate for the recorded conversations between Sporyshev and Podobnyy to be admitted into evidence to link Buryakov to the SVR.
And who do you think was Director of the FBI when Page was engaged operationally against Sporyshev and Podobnyy? Mueller. Think the Director might want to know about and sign off on the conducting of electronic surveillance inside the (and if not the equivalent of) the Russian consulate?
Friendly reminder: this is what Christopher Wray has been trying to hide from the American people for three years. FBI Director, ladies and gentlemen. Just lookin’ out for the good ol’ U. S. of A.
in the proud heritage of J.Edgar Hoover who had spy files on all congresscritters, and used to like to go to mafia parties in drag.
J. Edgar Hoover used his files to PREVENT political corruption . . . not to initiate it.
Hoover was a true American patriot and hero. There was never a hint of scandal during his decades as head of the FBI. He used his power and influence for the good of the American people . . . not to commit crimes against them.
pure BS.
Hoover snd his buddy clyde had blackmail material used to control congress and others.
The “dressing in drag” charge against Hoover was an outright lie. The single source for that slander was a convicted mafioso who was never at any social occasion which Hoover attended. You should be ashamed of yourself for believing and repeating that slander against a great man.
You should be ashamed of yourself for defending a person (under whom the mafia grew) who was so feared politically (for blackmail use of spy files) that congress could not get rid of him. As soon as he was gone, FBI Director terms were limited, although that didn’t stop people like mueller and comey from politicizing the FBI (eg, protecting the clintons, attacking clinton competitors)
This is why Judge Sullivan refused to Grant Sidney Powell 24 Motions for Brandy Exculpatory Evidence and after DOJ Jensen Investigations found it along with Flynn’s prior Covington Defense Lawyers Miscommunication (Wink-Wink) 18 Hard Drives, DOJ Prosecutors Resigned and Reassigned, and DOJ said there were Prosecutors Misconduct but not Intentional Bad Faith, but is still the DC Circuit Reasons is allowing and delaying Sullivan’s Decision until after the Election?
Former DOJ Prosecutor and Flynn’s Defense Lawyer Sidney Powell has said many times there is no way the FBI Sentinel 302s File System Lost any Files? This explains why Muller & Weissmann had to reconstruct these Files. Unfortunately, it all explains why the DC Judicial Circuit Court, DC Federal Judges, DOJ, FBI, NSA, Bipartisan Senate Intelligence and Gang of Eight are Protecting the these American Justice, Judicial, Intelligence Institutions. This Portends President Trump won’t be around after 3 November 2020.
Then he better perform some whoop-a** from now until then, huh?! Don’t you think he knows all this?
It’s amazing how many people think they and/or Sundance knows all about it but President Trump sees nothing, hears nothing, knows nothing.
President Trump needs to just Release all SSCI Information Unreacted since he has the SOLE Presidential POWER to do it anytime. The White House should not wait and demand all the Documents Unredacted and have them only in their Possession with Copies including all Collected by USAG Barr, Durham, DOJ, DBI, IG, CIA, NSA, Intelligence Committees, Prior President Obama Administrations and now at the Presidential Library Archives as well as all Judicial Proceeding already decided in Judicial Branch in Manafort, Cohen, Stone, Craig, and DOJIG Comey, McCabe and Strzok Reports. Distribute all of it in a Media Press Conference.
President Trump can create his own Special Counsel Public Committee of Dershowitz, Tunley, Giuliani, Lin Wood, Sidney Powell, Former State AGs, Biondi and let them meet and release all information Naming Names every day. There is No Longer any Downside in doing it. A Grand Jury also must be convened for brining Reporters that received Illegal Leaks, Staffers of these Senate Congressional Committees, Intuitions and Agencies with Contempt of Grand Jury if they take the fifth. At Least a Record of their Denials or Testimony is established that way? It is time to Take Off Gloves and the Information will force the Reorganization of every Executive Legislative, Judicial Branches, Military, and Agencies as well. Since the United Kingdom, Russia and Communists China are Proven to be Involved in Undermining the Elections Right Now this is now a National Security Emergency Clear and Present Danger and must be Exposed Right Now!

Did Joe Biden’s Former IT Guy Masquerade as Guccifer 2.0? by Larry C Johnson

Warren Flood?
Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive!
The United States of America has a Clear and Present Danger that Foreign Governments of Russia and Communists China are using American Institutions in Washington, Silicon Valley, New York in undermining this Election. Therefore, President Trump mus for a Special Counsel National Security Commission Immediately that Oversee the Releases of All Documents Unreacted under Executive Order 13526 as this Executive Order prescribes a Uniform System for Classifying, Safeguarding, and Declassifying National Security Information, including information relating to Defense against Transnational Terrorism. Our American Democratic Principles require that the American people be informed of the Activities of their Government.
Information “Above Top Secret” is either Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or special access program (SAP) which are phrases used by media. It is not truly “Above” Top Secret, since there is no clearance higher than Top Secret. Only President of the United States have the Power release wither at any time during a National Emergency Clear and Present Danger!
WHY? To Disprove Right Now….Executive Order 13526 as this Executive Order prescribes a uniform system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information, including information relating to defense against transnational terrorism. Our American Democratic Principles require that the American people be informed of the Activities of their Government.
Information “above Top Secret” is either Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or special access program (SAP) which are phrases used by media. It is not truly “above” Top Secret, since there is no clearance higher than Top Secret.
Disgraced Terminated Former FBI agent Peter Strzok, a leader in the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the President’s 2016 campaign, is claiming …”Without Exaggeration, President Trump’s Vulnerabilities Are Exponentially Greater Than Any President In Modern History,” Peter Strzok thinks Trump is a “National Security Threat’, with Russia has Hidden Leverage Over Him…”I think when you look at President Trump and the efforts he is taking, he is fighting tooth and nail to prevent the release of his tax records,” said Strzok. “There is something there he doesn’t want out.” “I Think When You Look At President Trump And The Efforts He Is Taking, He Is Fighting Tooth And Nail To Prevent The Release Of His Tax Records,” Said Strzok. “There Is Something There He Doesn’t Want Out.”
The on;y way to Defend the Elections now is for President relase All SCI Information Unredacted and Protect the Institutions Hiding Information from the People.
On 29 December 2009, the President Obama issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13526, prescribing a uniform system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information, including information relating to Defense against transnational terrorism. Only the President of the United States has the Power to Distribute all Information “Above Top Secret” is either Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or special access program (SAP) which are phrases used by media. It is not truly “Above” Top Secret, since there is no clearance higher than Top Secret.
Today, Congressman Schiff said that USAG Barr is ‘Flat-Out Lying’ With China Election Claims. Schiff added that there have been other administrations who were “Trying To Mislead The Public By Saying That China Is The Bigger Threat To The Country, Speaking In Global Terms Because Of The Rising Power Of China.” However, those people are “At Least Careful In Misleading The Public” by not saying China is a greater threat to the election, but what Barr did was “Flat-Out Mislead The American People With A Blatantly False Statement.”
Therefore, President can now use Spacial Counsel Powers and Executive Order 13526 to Convene Immediately Presidential Special Counsel Led by Former ODNI Richard Allen Grenell Committee and can begin Dissemination within Days to Stop this Immediate Existential Threat to American National Security. Since all Information will be made Public for all American Citizens can Read and see the Documents, by Order of the President.
brilliant, and i agree.
and i bet he has.. .hence him lagging behind Barr’s move as a “chance provider”
Repeating my previous post . . . MJJ, I enjoy your posts, but I find them difficult to read with all of those initial caps. I suggest that you confine your initial caps to proper names. That will allow your posts to be more easily and widely read.
Learn to use Descriptive Language if you can’t handle it or Ignoer My Posts if you are Unable to Comprehend. Ben Franklin used it as well. So did Shakespeare. America has No Official Language. You were trained by Prescriptive Language and that you Brain Pain not mine. King George at the Request of the Upper Classes Investing in Slavery, Slave Shipping Insurance Investments of London to protect themselves from the More Wealthy Rising Middle Class became concerned that people below them were getting educated and gaining Superior Access to sources of Financial Power. So to protect their own Elitists Status and Authority people started to prescribe rules for grammar in their Languages. And if you couldn’t follow those rules then you didn’t have access to power and authority like the rich people of the day. Ben Franklin refused to be part of that kind of Discrimination and Today Internet Descriptive Language brings in all global Language as Shakespeare often used and invented.
Ben Franklin said It Best in his Descriptive Language as well, Notice this is Exactly Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, June 10, 1731: “That it is as unreasonable in any one Man or Set of Men to expect to be pleas’d with every thing that is printed, as to think that nobody ought to be pleas’d but themselves. Printers are educated in the Belief, that when Men differ in Opinion, both Sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Publick; and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter: Hence they chearfully serve all contending Writers that pay them well, without regarding on which side they are of the Question in Dispute.”
You are Free to Ignore Ben Franklin as well if you have such a Brain Pain in place of your Complaining on Content due to your Disabilities of Comprehensions. Thank you but it is your problem, Descriptive Words are Far Better Words!
Wow, you are so very smart

So much for that 99% of all rank and file FBI agents are honest. There should have been whistleblowers galore and there wasn’t a peep. This was a shut-your-mouth mission if you like your job.
If Durham doesn’t start incoroporating the word sedition in prosecution announcements soon and bringing charges against these lowlifes, then Durham is the one who should be indicted.
IIRC, there were ~30 FBI agents who wanted to rat out the perps at the FBI to congress. They wanted to be subpoenaed, to preserve their pensions. The crooked congresscritters refused. (apparently because they were in on it…)
30 agents (mol) sought to be subpoenaed by Congress to testify.
Well it’s less than ONE percent, but still it can be said, a “percentage of FBI is not corrupt”.
Who were the key Pubs in the Senate that blocked this?
We need a list.
Or at the least “conspiracy”…………….
But Sean Hannity tells us unendingly and monotonously that 99% of the FBI agents are honest. Whom should I believe . . Sean or my own eyes?
Boy is Sean gonna be mad when he learns his teleprompter workers have been flip-flopping the 1%-99% the wrong way on the FBI agents.
So you think they sent memos to all 35,000+ FBI agents to keep them informed? I think not. It was a tightly held, secretive, under the radar operation. There wasn’t a peep because the only ones in the loop were the only ones involved.
You don’t think the agents write in their own 302s ?
Then when they turn on the television at night and they see on the news that what they observed is nothing like like what they wrote, you think they are still in the dark ?
Look at the agents that went to Deripaska’s hotel room in New York to convince him to turn against Manafort and Deripaska told them even though I hate Manafort, you’re crazy for thinking he was colluding with Russians.
They left irritated and told him KEEP AN OPEN MIND. If that doesn’t show you agents were well aware of frame jobs, I don’t know what does. I will never forget when Laura Ingraham reported that on television that night. She was stunned.
Then magically shortly thereafter the “Black Ledger” shows up laying at a reporter’s residence door.
All 35,000+ FBI agents were notified of a couple agents visiting Deripaska? Not. The only ones who knew anything are those who were complicit. Every community has a few criminals in it. That doesn’t make everyone in the whole community criminal. It’s ridiculous, in my opinion, to condemn the entire FBI/DOJ community as criminal. That’s right up there with ‘abolish ICE, abolish DHS, defund the police… We don’t need law enforcement…right?
Strzok sure is trying to distance himself from the conspiracy, lol. As if he was some kind of expert observer and not knee deep in the plot.
Are you sure “plot” is what Strzok is knee-deep in?
There you have it!
There’s no reason this info should be classified, except to protect the swamp from coming clean that they do this all the time to everyone.
Why Won’t Deep State Release Which Outside Contractors Received Personal Data from Obama’s FBI and Why Were These Names Redacted in the First Place?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/09/wont-deep-state-release-outside-contractors-received-personal-data-obamas-fbi-names-redacted-first-place/
The swamp is busted, they know it.
What they did is legal in the agencies by their own secret rules. But illegal for the rest of us.
The one thing they need to work on right now is how to navigate knowing that they will not go to jail and did what they allow themselves to do but at the same time not say that publicly.
How do they make us think they broke the law, but can’t be punished for it?
Something like… yeah… Clinesmith made a honest mistake. Slap on the wrist is appropriate. He admitted making a mistake.
Hillary didn’t intend to break the law….
There’s no way we can convince a GJ to indict McCabe, so just let go…
See how it works? The trick is to justify no punishment in front of the public.
Inside, they all know nothing will happen and are not worried.
But publicly they have to make up reasons as to why they won’t go to jail.
That’s why declassifying everything is key. Send them scrambling to justify no jail.
Trump just explained all of this at his news conference…he said he remained uninvolved so no one could say he was pressuring prosecutions and admitted some disagreed with this and that maybe he should have, and that he might get involved in the future…but he will wait for Durham Report…then went onto hammer Obama and Biden for treason and call out the double standard
SD is very clever: The trick is for Barr to navigate through what we already know.
Bingo!
Crimes were committed except they do it all the time, they all do it so it’s not a crime but we the sheep are supposed to think these agencies have integrity and checks and balances with our privacy.
They don’t, they do whatever they want and they all do it. It’s normal, they have been abusing our privacy and spying on all of us and sharing our private info with their friends to destroy people they don’t like.
Barr has to pretend that is not normal at the same time not punish anyone for doing that because it is normal.
There is only one problem with that TRICK…
These people don’t give a flying hoot what, “We the People, Think!”
That much is abundantly clear!!!
Second, there is absolutely no way for, “We, the People to verify anything collectively ascerted as to, “What, We the People, Think?
The same tricksters can substitute any outcome they DESIRE!!!
“abusing our privacy and spying on all of us and sharing our private info”
They aren’t interested in we ??? people. And if we were really concerned about it we wouldn’t be blabbing our mouths on social media.
They can get our medical records. They can get our financial information, they can read our emails to our doctors and everything else.
Social media is public and we know it
They already have our medical information if they want it. Those billing codes tell exactly what health issues we have when submitted to our insurance. We give them our financial information every year when we file taxes. They even know if we pay our bills. It’s on file with the credit bureaus. Pay for your purchases with a bank or credit card, there’s a traceable record of it. Dog food? Oh, so you have a dog. You’re buying baby furniture? Uh-oh. There are cameras everywhere we go. Just about everything we do is recorded somewhere.
Why in the world would they be spying on 330 million people as individuals? The answer is ‘they aren’t’.
Bulk data collection is a powerful tool. They use it to collect information on 300 million individuals because they CAN.
Psyops is real and if our enemies can do it, we can and should do it too. Or, at least that is the logic.
Bulk data collection is NOT going away unless and until the full scope of the personal privacy intrusion is made known. The 2-hop rule is an arbitrary limitation on legal spying. There is no limit on illegal spying.
And, there does not appear to be any interest in prosecuting (or advertising) the rampant unauthorized (illegal) data collection.
Doe anyone believes bulk data collection is not a powerful tool? Of course it is and most certainly should not be used to interfere with our election process. It’s great though for locating and bringing criminals to justice. I’m just not sure why ordinary, every day citizens going about their daily business are so paranoid about it. The government doesn’t care if we stop at the grocery for a gallon of milk and eggs. Or whether we cook at home or go out for dinner. Or maybe call to have a pizza delivered. They don’t care if we call our mom, sister, or a friend to complain or share gossip and news about people we know. Our bank will notify them if there are large, unusual deposits into our accounts. No need to spy on us there. So unless we are implicated in a federal crime the government has absolutely no interest in us. This isn’t China.
Does anyone believe…
What would be structurally worst…
A.) Not having the orginal Woods file(lost/deleted) and at a later date having to create one to support all the down stream DISHONEST and MANUFACTURED evidence to fit SC meeds.
B.) Having an orginal Woods file that was modified to support all the down stream DISHONEST and MANUFACTURED evidence and the datestamps of the modifications are then passed off the excuse the file was lost.
Woods file is to make you look at STEEELE and not at the PSSS that said it was BULLSHIT
Page 188 of IG report.
https://www.justice.gov/storage/120919-examination.pdf
One of my favorite “not included” in the Woods File items……another counterintelligence investigation
Steele had one key Sub-source – Igor Danchenko
Page ix, #3 – OMITTED information relevant to the reliability of Person 1, a key Steele sub-source…(2) the FBI had opened a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION on Person 1 a few days before the FISA application was filed.
Person 1 is said to be Sergei Millian>
his twitter his blocked.
It is possible that the individual referred to as Person 1 in this specific instance is Milian…but Steele himself told the Crossfire team that person 1 a was a “boaster” and an “egoist” and “may engage in some embellishments” and IMO that description appears more fitting to Danchenko than Millian.
And who else knew every bit of this? Heather Schmidt.
Schmidt is identified by both the Sealed Complaint and the SDNY press release announcing its unsealing on January 25, 2015 (PR No. 15-023), as the Senior Trial Attorney for the DOJ-NSD responsible for the indictment of Sporyshev, Podobnyy and Buryakov and the prosecution of Buryakov (since Sporyshev and Podobnyy had left the country under diplomatic immunity). She is similarly identified by the March 11,2016 (PR No. 16-053) and May 25, 2016 (PR No. 16-137) SDNY press releases announcing Buryakov’s guilty plea and sentencing, respectively.
Page was her star witness from indictment to sentencing. Do you think she might have kept track of her star witness in a successful prosecution burning three SVR agents? Do you think she would not have been informed that the New York Field Office had been ordered to open a FARA investigation on her star witness almost two months before she secured Buryakov’s sentencing on May 25, 2016? And even if not, that she would not know immediately upon the leaking of the FISA application and Page’s name splashing every headline that something was rotten in Denmark in the DOJ-NSD.
Schmidt is identified by a DOJ press release as late as May 7, 2018 (PR No. 18-588) as the Senior Trial Attorney responsible for a FARA prosecution against a Pakistani national. And as late as November 2019 for two other counterintelligence prosecutions for DOJ-NSD (PR No. 19-1183 (November 1, 2019) & PR No. 19-1287 (November 21, 2019)), the latter as Co-counsel with Heather Alpino, a member of Mueller’s Special Counsel team.
Yet, she either failed to call BS with her superiors, including John Carlin, or with the Special Counsel or with the IG at any time after it became clear the Page original and renewal FISA applications were the central component of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and that same had blatantly misrepresented to the FISC that Sporyshev and Podobnyy had successfully recruited Page for the SVR.
January 23, 2015…Heather Schmidt, Trial Attorney, Counterespionage Section, NSD, Department of Justice was the attorney who signed off on the January 23, 2015 deposition of FBI Agent Gregory Monaghan who outlines MALE-1’s role in the Buryakov, Sporyshev and Podobnyy investigation…..
It is this January 23, 2015 deposition that Ali Watkins uses in her April 3, 2017 article to act as the red herring for her information…….She had the FISA warrant on Carter Page but couldn’t admit to having it…In order to get the Carter Page story before the public, Watkins was handed the deposition of Gregory Monahan…Watkins uses this deposition to justify her ‘knowledge’ gleaned from the warrant….
Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Counterterrorism and Counterespionage at the time and up through 2019 was……
-FISA Atty – TASHINA GAUHAR, DAAG for both the following sections.
Counterterrorism Section
Counterespionage Section
Tashina Gauhar was Heather Schmidt’s Superior…..
WOW !! Hard to believe Heather never told Tashina that her star FBI/DOJ witness and FBI/CIA spy was carter page????? Not a credible lie if they tried to use “we never discussed my star witness”, as a defense against Tashina swearing an oath to a claim carter page is a russian agent…..
The public needs to know who else in the FBI/DOJ worked with or knew of carter page in the FBI/DOJ (and especially the counterintelligence personnel who were part of the ‘crossfire’ scams). Fraud on the FISC Court claiming carter page is a russian agent, and violation of civil rights of all those spied on under the FAKE FISAs and extensions, is of course criminal. And it is a criminal fraud to name a fake “Target” (page) just to spy on others via the 2-hop’ rule, to avoid the Constitutional requirement of “Probable CAuse” 18 USC 241, 242.
It is an almost certainty IMHO that the actual spying under the 4 FAKE FISAs was primarily on PDJT and his family, friends, and Republican campaign personnel, Republican Cabinet members and congress members, with no russian ‘conspiracy’ evidence justification whatsoever. The actual spy activity (who, how much, how little on page, etc) needs to be made public. It will reveal the scheme to fake a Target, to spy on hillary’s and obama’s political opponents.
Why the “FARA investigation by the NYFO almost four months before Crossfire Hurricane “officially” opened”?
It seems the FBI has the authority to monitor/spy on Carter Page without a FARA charge within the U.S.A., referenced the attached. The point is why get a FARA charge on Carter Page. When the FBI knew, Carter Page worked for the CIA and at times the FBI.

WTF Time – 60 days; Direction from Obama
April 19th visit to Obama with Wife of Fusion GPS (NSA contractor 702 up-steams SHUT DOWN)
Nellie Ohr – Fusion GPS # Dump data to internet prior to visit and shutdown.
Thank You.
How did you lean this?
There were likely FARA spy warrants and investigations opened in the leftist NY office on General Flynn, Papadopolous, manafort et al (and perhaps others) at the same time !! Spying may be easier in New York for the FBI/DOJ, as an international communications center with a large spy center there.
Just not reported yet, although Durham would know about other fake political ‘FARA’ cases if he is doing his job.
I like “fake political ‘FARA’ cases, very descriptive.
I have read about General Flynn and Papadopolous were investigated using FARA.
It possible that Durham, will do his job even with political pressure from his boss. It’s a wait and see for him.
They all were investigated under the guise of FARA and it has been reported.
It’s in the AUG 2 Scope memo and all the Case ID’s of all EC’s that have been released so far.
Crossfire Hurricane put them all as FARA-Russia
Aug 2 Scope adds:
Flynn-Turkey
Papadopoulos-Israel

One thing that’s become clear is FARA is the easy button for the FBI to open CI investigations and it also conveniently checks off one of the FISA warrant requirements.
The just released FISC report shows the FBI’s other “easy button” in the way they treat 702.
Appears there is no sign of them letting up.
Wray has got to go.

For the 2 hops
June NYFO FARA unofficial investigation started # – 4 months. Normal NSA contractor 702 access was shutdown previously. Obama was forced to go with FARA unofficial investigation. After approval of Carter Page FISA warrant in Oct. of 2016, everything was covered retroactively to include the FARA unofficial investigation.
With complaint from President Trump’s lawyer in December of 2016 to Carter Page two hop rule likely became effective (spying of president Trump). If not earlier from the FARA spying.
Publically name the 40 FBI agents assinged to the Mueller Task Force.
Have them Speak to the Public if they felt things were dont right, or wrong.
Integrity time.
Doesn’t appear there’s a “whistleblower” among them either.
Another day. A day without Barr/Durham/DOJ coup charges. A day closer to elections and the success of the Barr Permanent Bad But No Charge strategy.
And it’s worked.
Respectfully disagree – his inaction breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
Holder, Lynch and others will be known as AG’s who continued courses of disrepair, but Bagpipes will be known as the one who brought down whatever was left of the house.
More on the Carter Page “Woods File” from Lisa Page House testimony
Page testified that as soon as they received the Steele dossier in September, they “set about trying to prove or disprove every single factual statement in the dossier.” Page noted that “to the best of my knowledge, we were never able to disprove any statement in it.”
Unidentified Representative: “Ms. Page, are you talking about the Woods file?”
Page: “I’m not talking about the Woods file. I’m talking about a separate effort that was undertaken in order to try to verify for investigative purposes, not for purposes of the FISA, but a separate effort undertaken to try to validate the allegations contained within the Steele reporting.”
(the “spreadsheet” perhaps)
Why a “separate effort”?
Because the FBI Woods Procedures did not (do not?) require verification of information attributed to a CHS, just that they verify they indeed got the information from a CHS for a FISA application.
Also note they took the investigative posture of DISPROVING and not PROVING.
How do you disprove something that never happened?
Good luck with that.
I’m unclear in my memory. Did Susan Rice’s email to herself state she did everything “by the book” or “off the books”?
Whoever holds the entire file together for the FBI KNOWS there is no Woods file. They are complicit.
And they are unfortunately unconcerned because the DOJ and FBI remain corrupt; though under different management.
I do not understand the resistance to imagining Carter Page was an active CIA asset who willingly submitted to what otherwise might have been an intrusion into his life. What evidence have we that Page was not part of the conspiracy?
And what would stop the conspiracy from going one step further, after all they had risked? Why would adding an active CIA asset to the plan to surveil Trump be the bridge too far?
I believe Page was an active CIA asset.
Let me clue you all in on something; the ENTIRE FISA COURT WAS IN ON THE SCAM AS WELL….!!! Why else the lackadaisical reaction to being made fools of? Goudy just predicted no more indictments. I don’t like it but no one’s going to jail and any reforms or safeguards added to prevent this from happening again will only be ignored or undone in the next criminal democrat administration.
Anyone know why Mike Lee has appeared to back off the whole abuse of constitutional rights issues?
Conspiratorially seditious f’ing LIARS.
There needs to be PRISON.

Never forget the corrupt left/uniparty/democrats are emboldened to interfere in the 2020 election because the current AG is too corrupt to bring anyone to justice for the 2016 domestic election interference.
That’s not an institution you cannot upend, that’s an institution continually trying to surpass previous criminality.
Never forget the corrupt left/uniparty/democrats are emboldened to interfere in the 2020 election because the current SCOTUS/FISA is too corrupt to bring the likes of Emma Sullivan, Collyer, and Amy Jackson to justice.
That too is not an institution you cannot upend, that’s an institution continually trying to extend their criminal reach.
Am I the only one that wonders if the James Comey tweets with photographs of him in “the woods” and emphasizing “woods” was a hint or a “heads up” to the co-conspirators? Maybe I’m mis-remembering…but I wonder….
“Common Sense: Recent reports of the DOJ, FBI or NSD “losing” the Woods file are abjectly silly on their face.” That behavior will always be lodged in my brain as the “Lois Lerner, the dog ate my homework” defense.
