John Solomon at Just The News has obtained the FBI memos and 302 reports from their interviews and interactions with their enlisted spygate operative Stefan Halper.
[Direct pdf link – and Embed below]
The FBI documents outline how Stefan Halper was enlisted by the FBI for their operation to target the campaign of Donald Trump in 2016. Halper agreed to become a confidential human source (CHS) or spy for the FBI, and record contacts with several members of the Trump campaign in order to frame the Russian collusion narrative.
Despite secret recordings showing Carter Page clearly had no idea about any Russian connections to the campaign, or people within it; and despite Page clearly rebuking any effort to draw those inferences; the FBI still went forward with a Title-1 FISA surveillance warrant against Page and never informed the court of the exculpatory recordings.
SOLOMON – […] The memos show that the FBI instructed Halper in August 2016 not to focus on Papadopoulos first, but rather on Page, whom the FBI described as an “opportune target.” Papadopoulos was given the code name Crossfire Typhoon (CT), while Page was given the codename Crossfire Dragon (CD) in the memos.
“The main goal of the operation is to have CD admit that he has direct knowledge of and is either helping coordinate or assisting the RF [Russian Federation] conduct an active measure campaign with the ‘Trump Team,'” stated an Aug. 24, 2016 report detailing the FBI’s interactions with Halper that week.
If the Page operation failed, the FBI “team would then change its posture and move forward with an operation against CROSSFIRE TYPHOON,” the memos stated. (read more)
Here’s the embed of the memos and reports:
- Crossfire Hurricane [“CH”] = Overall operation against Trump
- Crossfire Dragon [“CD”] = Carter Page
- Crossfire Fury [CF”] = Paul Manafort
- Crossfire Typhoon [“CT”] = George Papadopoulos
- Crossfire Razor [“CR”] = Michael Flynn
- Crossfire Wind [“CW”] = Walid Phares
Rather ironically, five days before the 2016 election FBI intelligence agent provocateur Stefan Halper gave an interview to Sputnik News where he outlined his agenda; in hindsight the aggregate agenda of the Obama administration:
“I believe [Hillary] Clinton would be best for US-UK relations and for relations with the European Union. Clinton is well-known, deeply experienced and predictable. US-UK relations will remain steady regardless of the winner although Clinton will be less disruptive over time.” ~ Stefan Halper
2016 was not CIA/FBI Agent Halper’s first endeavor into manipulating the outcomes of U.S. political elections. Indeed manipulating elections it is a specific skill-set within his curriculum vitae. As noted in a New York Times article 35-years ago:
1983 – […] An operation to collect inside information on Carter Administration foreign policy was run in Ronald Reagan’s campaign headquarters in the 1980 Presidential campaign. […] it involved a number of retired Central Intelligence Agency officials and was highly secretive.
The sources identified Stefan A. Halper, a campaign aide involved in providing 24-hour news updates and policy ideas to the traveling Reagan party, as the person in charge.
[…] Speaking of Mr. Halper, David Prosperi, a Reagan campaign aide, now with the Superior Oil Company, said, ”He provided us with wire stories and Carter speeches, but people talked about his having a network that was keeping track of things inside the Government, mostly in relation to the October surprise.” (read more)
Some terrific background research on Stefan Halper was done long before mainstream media picked up on his role as FBI Agent Provocateur. A 2018 Twitter Thread by TheWarEconomy outlined the scale of Agent Halper’s work weaving intelligence operations and U.S. politics into a deep state career. Including:
♦ Agent Halper worked as an assistant to three Chiefs of Staff – Alexander Haig (until September 21, 1974), then Donald Rumsfeld (from September 21, 1974 to November 20, 1975), and then Dick Cheney (from November 20, 1975 to January 20, 1977). (link)
♦Agent Halper worked as a legislative assistant to Senator William Roth of Delaware holding this position from 1977 to 1979. Because Halper was working with Senator Roth, he also became a Special Counsel to the United States Congress’ Joint Economic Committee. (link)
♦In 1979, agent Halper left both positions to become the National Director for Policy Development for George H. W. Bush’s Presidential campaign. (link) Halper then became the National Director of Policy Coordination on the Reagan / Bush Presidential campaign. (link)
♦ On November 4, 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected to become the President of the United States. From 1981 to 1984, agent Halper worked as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. (link) As such, Halper served under three different Secretaries of State – Alexander Haig (from January 22, 1981 to July 5, 1982), Walter J. Stoessel, Jr. (from July 5, 1982 to July 16, 1982) and George P. Shultz (from July 16, 1982 to 1984).
♦After this, agent Halper became a Senior Advisor to the Department of Defense, and a Senior Advisor to the Department of Justice, positions lasting from 1984 to 2001. (link)
♦Agent Halper’s former father-in-law was Ray Cline, who was the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. (link) As Chairman of Palmer National Bank, Agent Halper made loans to customs who then used it to channel the money to a Swiss bank account controlled by Colonel Oliver North, who then used the same bank account to provide military assistance to the contras. (link)
♦Along with Agent Halper, several Central Intelligence Agency related people were on the H. W. Bush campaign, including Ray Cline, Sam Wilson, Howard Aaron, Henry Knoche, Robert Gambino, Bruce Rounds, Jon Thomas, Jack Coackley and Richard Stillwell. All working with agent Halper. (link)
♦Agent Halper was on the Board of Directors at the National Intelligence Study Center, alongside his father-in-law and CIA Director Ray Cline, in 1983. (link) Agent Halper and his team of Central Intelligence Agency people during the Reagan / Bush ticket actually collected inside information on the Carter Administration’s foreign policy – with Halper in charge. (link)
Reporters keep asking me about my interactions with Prof. Halper.
I found all our interactions to be cordial.
Like this email I received about a year after I first met him.
He never seemed suspicious.
Just a few scholars exchanging ideas.
He had interests in policy, and politics. pic.twitter.com/D5SKkvN2Bx— Carter Page, Ph.D. (@carterwpage) May 20, 2018
I am not a lawyer. I am certainly not a US Attorney. However, I fully believe that I could get an indictment and a conviction against the FBI participants in this for violation of :
18 U.S. Code § 2383 – Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
These people misused the power and authority of the Federal Government to attempt a coup against the President. This is 100 times worse than Watergate. These people are in clear violation of statutes, but have NO FEAR WHATSOEVER of spending a day in jail. This might be the thing that makes me the most furious of the past 5 years.
BTW, I still believe Carter Page was chosen by John Brennan and knew what was going on. He is not a victim, he was a participant.
Depends on the judge these days…
Carter page is and always has been a stooge for the C_A and he would always evade and never answer a very straight question.
Stooge?
Am guessing there is a bulked up bank account in his possession somewhere.
Does successfully acting the part of a B-grade character rate as an A-grade acting job? Probably pays like one.
nah. It’s only an insurrection if it’s led by a guy in a Viking helmet.
It’s true, Washington D.C. is really a Hollywood for ugly people. Inside and out.
What Government officials of any branch would even look at such an indictment, let alone convict someone?
“However, I fully believe that I could get an indictment and a conviction against the FBI participants”
It’s so unfortunate that you aren’t in charge of the DO’J’ now that this intentionally and hellaciously foot-dragged, “at this point what does it matter?” report has surfaced. I foresee community service and a $100 fine… maybe.
Agreed Bryan.
There is something about Carter Page that doesn’t add up, to me. I may be wrong, but I would play my cards close to the vest if I was around him much.
Can’t help but agree with your assessment of C. Page. I always come back to the idea that the upper echelon of US Intelligence went to a secret court saying that C. Page was most likely working with a foreign power to undermine the Government. That’s a heavy charge and there are still many on the left that believe it happened. So, the response of sternly worded interview responses on Fox just falls flat with me.
Bryan… you’re citing United States Code as though you believe we still have an operating legal system. We don’t.
There is no more working “within the system.” The rules no longer apply, because the rulebook has been burned. Only one side played by them anyway, and that was the idiots on our side like Jeff Sessions and … frankly.. even Donald Trump.
We leave. Or we fight. There is no fix for this at the ballot box or in any court of “law.”
As long as we keep focusing on the “so what’s” and “nothing is going to happen” we will inflict defeat on ourselves. We know the truth. We need to ask ourselves “What Am I going to do about it”? President Trump is one man and he is 74 years old. Sundance is one person. He has imparted a lot of information. Where are the young people? Who are we talking to? Which minds are we trying to change?
We need to stop accepting defeat. Stop with the dominion, dominion, dominion and start making resolutions. We are way more intelligent. We are way more informed. We are way more resourceful. Truth is on our side. The war is ours to lose. The country did not get here in a day. It will not get out in a day either. We talk about God. Do we actually believe what we say?
You do not have any solutions. I do not have any solutions. WE do.
Thanks for this post, it really explaims how I feel right now. The problem is, there are too many directions to go in, and it doesn’t seem like there is any guidance on which way to go, which thing to focus on. We need organization.
In the long run, I truly see no way short of secession, so instead of fooling around for twenty more years of downward spiral into chaos, it may as well be worked toward now. At the least, states must nullify unconstitutional federal edicts.
As long as there remains no political or cultural opposition to the Progs as what has been going on for the past 80 years, nothing will change.
Start with your local politics in your community and school system. Find like-minded people and organize with the intent of restoring faith in our election systems: voter ID; no mail-in voting; tight control of absentee voting; paper ballots and no dominion style machines or software. Make it very clear to your local politicians that they will not get your vote or your support unless they get all this fixed before the next election. Remind them on a regular basis that the clock is ticking.
With regard to the school board– really inspect their curriculum and make damn sure they are teaching civics, especially the U.S. Constitution in the way that you we taught when you were in school. Organize civics classes for the folks in your community that have never had it as a course, or who need a refresher. Anyway, here is where you can start. More ideas will flow to you as to begin to be a participant instead of an observer or “victim”.
My state still requires 8th graders and high school seniors to be taught the US and State Constitutions and pass an exam to graduate. There’s no getting out of it. However, it seems to do no good here as my state is deep, dark blue and getting bluer. But then we are fighting our own form of RINOs called The Combine.
We need a LEADER and I hope this Sunday he will come back to the battlefield and resume command of his army.
“As long as we keep focusing on the “so what’s” and “nothing is going to happen” we will inflict defeat on ourselves.” Amen!
If you think about a few basic things from the recent election, you don’t have to be deep in the weeds of dominion or number switching or anything else to see how bad our situation is in this country.
Has any politician publicly explained why vote counting was stopped in several states? If counting was stopped, how did numbers get added to Biden over night?
Has any politician provided a public, coherent explanation on why 4 trunks of ballots were stored under a table only to be pulled out when observers were sent home?
Has any politician publicly explained why laws in several states are not being enforced allowing voting records, vote counting machine logs, etc. are not being provided for inspection?
Has any politician publicly explained why windows were blocked preventing vote counting observers from actually observing?
I will not vote for any politician that cannot answer the above. If they cannot answer, they obviously do not care enough about your vote to deserve it.
I won’t get into the Durham report and why that will never see the light of day because it will expose participation of both parties. I don’t see how that corruption can be cleaned up by politicians willing to ignore your vote being stolen.
We have a massive lack of leadership in this country right now. We are seeing that with the corruption in many institutions, and the blatant pillaging of the treasury.
Without leadership, all I can do is hope for someone to answer the above questions about the election, and if they cannot, I will not vote for them, nor support anyone that even prevents the question from being asked.
I don’t know what else to do at this point.
And who coordinated the counting to be stopped????Is it the same person who coordinated the 6 or more blue states to implement the severe china virus lockdown? The voter fraud states and CCP lockdown states all acted in unison.
We need a National Leader to point the way. An army cannot fight without a general. LtoL
I’m not saying President Trump is not our leader. He still is. I just want the collective “we” to start doing and stop embracing defeat. They want us discouraged. They want us to give up. We cannot.
Thanks for a great comment.
In another time long ago, people like Halper would have been tried and sentenced in a court of law.
But we now have a two-tiered justice system.
Notice how far back he goes! Reagan/Bush 41! Entrenched traitor.
This is common practice. Trump is not the only one. They have been acting this way for decades.
This is what our agencies are for. To eliminate those in their way. They have all power they need to eliminate the opposition. They spy on all of us. They have everything on all of us.
They can entrap, change documents and do whatever they want.
That’s how we got into bombing Iraq. Falsified “evidence” by Clapper. He confessed. It was made up, here we are, Christians are being wiped out of existence in Iraq. It wasn’t this way before. The all coexisted somewhat without many problems.
They created ISIS.
Our agencies are rotten. I wondering if our “enemies” are actually as bad as we are told.
Think about where the info about who is good or bad comes from. MSM, our Intel agencies.
Maybe the people abroad who hate America are not just being anti-America because we value freedom, the constitution or our way of life. Maybe they are sick and tired of being victims of our agencies the same way we are. maybe they have seen what we now see. Our gov is rotten and evil. When our Gov accused them of crimes and bomb the hell out them maybe they know a bad situation was used by our gov to eliminate people they don’t like. Kinda like the Chines virus was used to destroy small business and hurt Trump.
What we see now, the world has been seeing. We should apologize to Iraq. It was all based on fabricated Intel by Clapper and his crooks. Who lost? Iraqi people our patriots in the military. It’s a win win for the swamp. Our boys/girls killed or permanently injured.
I live near an Air Force Base and occasionally will pull over to the side of the road and watch the jets conduct their maneuvers. Recently, as I watched these magnificent machines perform their acrobatics, I wondered; just WHO is our enemy–who are we defending against?
We are told Russia is still a dangerous threat, yet the facts don’t support that. Russia is Mexico with nukes. Yes, they could be dangerous if we overplayed our hand and threatened them. But absent that, Russia is at best a nuisance–at worst North Korea on a bad hair day.
China? Yes, China is a very dangerous strategic threat, and their generals like to bang the war drum, but I don’t think the ChiComs want a straight-up, mano-e-mano slugfest. It’s not their style. The inscrutable Chinese think long term–strategically. Why engage in a messy, potentially regime-ending fist-a-cuff when they can simply buy American dependence and submission?
No, our most dangerous enemies are NOT foreign–they are domestic. And the worst part is that they are either enablers of our tyrannical government, apparatchiks in the bureaucratic state, or worse, the political leaders of this country–both parties.
NAILED IT!
Most people just want to be left alone.
Maximus, an excellent post, really sums up the diplomatic situation and I believe you are correct about the real enemy.
The sentiments of my prior page post. I honestly believe a 7.5 earthquake in DC on a weekend is the best option. Nothing worth saving but some statues and memorials.
Our Gov is a terrorist organization.
The FBI is a full service criminal organization. They cover it all: lying, spying, framing, blackmail, extortion, Gestapo tactics, leaking, still more lying, coverups ….. … …. …..
One stop shopping for the fascist democrats.
These people have been destroying lives and foreign countries for decades. Color Revolution was used to bring down Govs around the world. These are the people behind it.
They are very organized, very powerful. I now understand the hate for America abroad. I hate our gov as well.
At some point it is going to require Military involvement. Individual Americans have a lot of guns, but it is not an organized Army. There is military within the military. Not all soldiers and Generals are Communist Democrats.
Cannot disagree with Kleen. How did we remain naive for so long?
“As ye sow, so shall ye deep.”
…so shall ye Reep.
Reap!
Because fat cats don’t hunt.
Compare the Americans during the Depression to the Americans today and it may as well be aliens of different planet. Libtards are a by-product of Capitalism. The issue becomes one of not being able to afford the luxury of the Libtard by-product.
At some point slack has to be taken out of the straps. IMO, we are going to experience the slack tightening under our present corrupt Communist-style government.
They have brought down governments around the world. Now the have brought down and stolen our own government.
In the twenty-first century of the Christian era, the democrat party, and its apparatchiks, all of the lineage of Hitler and Stalin, combining the powers of transcendent propaganda with the preternatural stubbornness of psychopaths and the fraudulent spirit of impostors, proclaimed themselves as Masters of the World, and spread delusion of the mind and desolation of liberty over an extensive portion of the now formally best nation on earth fully intending to grind it all to dust.
Give them credit, who would have thought the Communists and the Fascists would work together and create their hybrid Globalism together!? But as they say, bird of a feather flock together.
Just a cultural norm
Interesting but pointless. The corrupt cops at the FBI/CIA(most of them) will suffer no consequences for their actions which just emboldens them more. Thanks Sessions and Barr, great job. And now these proven corrupt agencies are turning their efforts almost totally against Americans. We need a day of reckoning–
Question: In the last photo, who are the photo boxes color-coded? White? Red? Yellow? Meaning of it?
Look at those people above. That’s what terrorists look like. Once behind the scenes, destroying countries and lives from the comfort of faceless confidential sources, now exposed. Take a good look at those evil faces. Trump was not their first victim. He was just another one.
These people destroyed entire countries. See Clapper/ Bush’s Iraq war based on fabricated intel on WMD.
James Clapper (JC)
Ray McGovern (RM)
RM: My name is Ray McGovern. Thanks for this book; it’s very interesting [Ray holds up his copy of Clapper’s memoir]. I’m part of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. I’d like to refer to the Russia problem, but first there’s an analogy that I see here. You were in charge of imagery analysis before Iraq.
JC: Yes.
RM: You confess [in the book] to having been shocked that no weapons of mass destruction were found sildenafil. And then, to your credit, you admit, as you say here [quotes from the book], “the blame is due to intelligence officers, including me, who were so eager to help [the administration make war on Iraq] that we found what wasn’t really there.”
Now fast forward to two years ago. Your superiors were hell bent on finding ways to blame Trump’s victory on the Russians ED treatment. Do you think that your efforts were guilty of the same sin here? Do you think that you found a lot of things that weren’t really there? Because that’s what our conclusion is, especially from the technical end. There was no hacking of the DNC; it was leaked, and you know that because you talked to NSA.
The world is corrupt or the international court would have gone after these war criminals a long time ago.
I’ve said it before.
Carter Page is a CIA plant.
Where is his lawsuit against the FBI for deprivation of civil rights??
Yes, he probably was working for one of the 3 letter agencies at one time, perhaps still is. Whether he got screwed, got snookered or he was a willingly participant in the scheme we may never know..
Once you agree to work with the government you accept the risk of being thrown under the bus.
Or maybe he’s waiting for a time when the courts will allow his case to be heard… you know, when he’s granted “standing”. Well, good luck with that Carter…
He is on record as a civilian appoved for payment by the FBI. He was even a key witness in an FBI case against real Russian operatives in early 2016.
The FBI knowingly withheld this critical exculpatory evidence from the court when seeking a title 1 FISA warrant in his name.
President Trump Gave Up On Forcing The Release Of Russiagate Files – sez Kash Patel
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/02/25/in_final_days_trump_gave_up_on_forcing_release_of_key_russiagate_files_nunes_prober_says_127267.html
“The report sits in a safe at CIA headquarters in Langley. “The CIA has possession of it, and POTUS chose not to put it out,” Patel says. He does not know why.”
I have to lean towards what others here have said: he and his families lives were threatened by those same people….and who would do the investigation into the deaths? People here had also said that something was off during PDJTs last month in office. DC is a den of pure evil.
If there is a sword hanging over the real Presidents neck, how effective and reliable will he be from here on out?
Its a question that must be asked.
Trump has well got this in hand. Look what has been happening. Politicians, Judges and Bureaucrats are being exposed for who and what they are.
More American people as never before are being made aware as to the state of the our Country; Senators, Congressman, “Deep State” Bureaucrats and even the Supreme Court. Trump is causing all this so the Freedom loving people of this Nation have a free Nation to live in.
The only thing remaining is the American people get a “feeling” for what it would be if in fact all is lost. Trump has never said, “I quit” or has Trump conceded the Presidency. Actually, it makes more sense Trump doesn’t concede something he has legally won.
OhMy, thanks, good article.
Do you think this use of Halper began when former President G.H.W. Bush was in the audience and then candidate-Trump was speaking at a debate when Yeb! was still a candidate and he (Bush) made that hand across his throat motion (such as cut off his head)?
Could that have been the moment when Muh, Russia was born? And not by Clinton but later using Clinton as a scapegoat/misdirection by the GOPe so the birth parent of that spying wouldn’t be discovered?
Also, can Donald J. Trump, the individual, have a cause for a lawsuit against the federal government, the FBI/DOJ in particular, for violating his civil rights?
After seeing that they didn’t lift a finger for Hillary, the Deep State must have been just as afraid of her in 2016 as Trump in 2020. I mean she was cruising to 2008 nom before the Kenyan Muslim arose to wow the world. And then got done in 2016 as well. Knowing that most of Trump’s supposed allies like Flynn, Sessions, Guiliani et all were all Judas Goats and fake MAGA they were happy to let Trump win because McConnell wouldn’t give him anything beyond fake Conservative Justices like Kav and ACB and National Debt increasing Tax cuts. Trump was suitably nobbled from the day before he took office via Russia and then Obama gets his 3rd term, sitting in his basement talking to Joe through a microphone “Salute Marines”.
It is appropriate that Halper is in the center of the picture. Did you point out that we have known for a long time that the taxpayers were paying for the spying via the Pentagon Office of Net Assessments?
But I guess we should not worry, Lindsey said he was going to get to the bottom of it a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately this information is more disheartening. We know what the FIB, FISA court, the DOJ and Obama Administration, did was illegal. We know also that there is no law except when the tyrants come for you.
Music videos belong on the OPEN….
Ad rem, my mistake. Although I did read the old and the new CTH 2.0 rules I must have missed or forgot the rules about music videos…
How did a crackhead rise to some of the highest positions in the US Intelligence system on such a consistent basis???
I can certainly see now how important it is that all “white supremacists” and their leaders who participated in the “riot” at the Capitol Building on January 6, be tracked down and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Such was one of the worst attacks on our democracy in history.
The sensibilities and sensitivities of the. Democrats were roiled, they are still suffering from PTSD. AOC, feared she might never have a child and see him/her grow up, Swallwell feared he might never get to have another treasonous affair, and the Biden family feared they might never make another self-profiting deal with unnamed foreign countries.
These folks have been going through some hard times, and now some outlier like John Solomon wants to bring up those pesky false allegations again – against the sterling character of Obama, Clinton, and Biden! Let it go, bro, fake news, we all know what’s going down – those MAGA hillbillies are just trying to stir up more trouble – their opinions are worthless and they will not be tolerated under the new benevolent and permanent regime.
ALL those targeted in this way MUST sue in a MASSIVE CLASS ACTION SUIT against the DEMOCRATS and FBI and CIA
This must go all the way to the Supreme Court
LOL
Supreme Court? May as well go before Bugs Bunny for all the good the Supreme Court is today. A Court of Kangaroos has more substance than 2/3rds the Judges of the US Supreme Court.
…Supreme Cowards!
Thank you again for your tireless work, SD.
This new info is not surprising since it meshes with the work you have done over the last several years to keep us in the know.
People need to wake up fast to the animal farm, 1984, banana republic that is emerging in front of them. Lean on the Lord for guidance, comfort, and protection!
There doesn’t appear to be a fix for this….short of an American Reset.
The only recourse is targeted vigilante justice. Otherwise it will be Civil War 2.0
Seems like the only relevant question to ask of any nominee requiring Senate confirmations is- Are you now or have you ever received compensation from a US intelligence agency?
Scott, they would just lie, after all, there are no penalties for lying to congress. Lying is in the mission statement of these intel agencies.
Our Gov is filled with bad people. Now I know why the world hates America. I hate our Gov as well.
They are not fair, not just. They are evil.
American people are good, but our Gov is a terrorist organization. Just like Iran.
Same story, bad leaders, good people.
These people are satanic.
It should stick. Swamp is satanic.
Question everything.
Why is our Dollar the reserve currency, who are “we” threatening?
Our Gov is rotten.

In Final Days, Trump Gave Up on Forcing Release of Russiagate Files, Nunes Prober Says
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/02/25/in_final_days_trump_gave_up_on_forcing_release_of_key_russiagate_files_nunes_prober_says_127267.html
Secession! Let’s start over instead of trying to fix a Satanic CCP infiltrated Congress, Senate,DOJ, FBI,etc. etc.
Bastagees!!!
He gave an interview to something called “Sputnik News”? That sure sounds Russian to me. Was Comey and company colluding with the Russians?
As an America loving Australian, I could never understand why so many foreign entities hated Aerica with a passion. I thought it was just their propaganda.
Now I understand and realise how wrong I was. Those people obviously knew things that we are just finding out (last few years). See the photo of evil McCain with ISIS personnel.
Unless we get back to the constitution, I can’t see a good ending for America or the rest of us.
In Final Days, Trump Gave Up on Forcing Release of Russiagate Files, Nunes Prober Says
Kash Patel, whose work on the House Intelligence Committee helped unearth U.S. intelligence malpractice during the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe, said he does not know why Trump did not force the release of documents that would expose further wrongdoing. But he said senior intelligence officials “continuously impeded” their release – usually by slow-walking their reviews of the material. Patel said Trump’s CIA Director, Gina Haspel, was instrumental in blocking one of the most critical documents, he said.
Patel, who has seen the Russia probe’s underlying intelligence and co-wrote critical reports that have yet to be declassified, said new disclosures would expose additional misconduct and evidentiary holes in the CIA and FBI’s work.
“I think there were people within the IC [Intelligence Community], at the heads of certain intelligence agencies, who did not want their tradecraft called out, even though it was during a former administration, because it doesn’t look good on the agency itself,” Patel told RealClearInvestigations in his first in-depth interview since leaving government at the end of Trump’s term last month, having served in several intelligence and defense roles (full interview here).
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/final-days-trump-gave-forcing-release-russiagate-files-nunes-prober-says/
Although a Department of Justice inspector general’s report in December 2019 exposed significant intelligence failings and malpractice, Patel said more damning information is still being kept under wraps. And despite an ongoing investigation by Special Counsel John Durham into the conduct of the officials who carried out the Trump-Russia inquiry, it is unclear if key documents will ever see the light of day.
Patel did not suggest that a game-changing smoking gun is being kept from the public. Core intelligence failures have been exposed – especially regarding the FBI’s reliance on Christopher Steele’s now debunked dossier to secure FISA warrants used to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
But he said the withheld material would reveal more misconduct as well as major problems with the CIA’s assessment that Russia, on Vladimir Putin’s orders, ordered a sweeping and systematic interference 2016 campaign to elect Trump. Patel was cautious about going into detail on any sensitive information that has not yet been declassified.
.
yeah, we needed all that information in 2017, unfortunately
And/Or in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, but now it dribbles out, ever so slowly and incompletely, as Jobama plays Mario Brothers, the Supremes sing the “No Standing Moot Shuffle”, and the FIBs go on a seek and destroy mission for white supremacist domestic terrorists.
spoogels, I think Patel answered his own question. The bureaucracy slow-walked and impeded the release. They ran out the clock, just as other agencies did to stall the Trump agenda.
The problem our government has is millions of people cannot unsee what they have seen. There are consequences and there will be no winners. Hang on. The ride will not be an easy one.
“The problem our government has is millions of people cannot unsee what they have seen.”
And they don’t give a damn based upon the fact they are no longer being subtle or trying to hide the reality described in the 2014 Princeton study that used statistical analysis to prove what voters want doesn’t mean squat unless it matches what the true centers of power want.
“The Government ™” isn’t who you vote for, it is the vast unelected administrative state which is present at all levels of government and the lobbyists who own the relatively few politicians pretending to be in control at all levels of government.
When an unexpected fluke who bypassed the bought-candidate vetting process of the RINO faction of the Uniparty, who no one thought had any chance of winning (if they had, they’d have been as prepared to commit the same amount of fraud as in 2020), actually wins, the actual government does everything it can to obstruct him and, using the near infinite number of obscure felonies on the books, microscopically analyses everything he’s done “six ways from Sunday” to destroy him and anyone who was his ally. That is the same blackmail mechanism used to keep more compliant politicians in line.
Instead of voting demotheives out, Sue them out
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
Those two overstuffed heads would look great on pikes.
Remember Adam Lovinger that worked for the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA). He first outed Halper in October 2016 asking his boss James Baker why was he paid 1.06 million dollars. He was immediately punished and his security clearance downgraded.

There more to it, but I don’t know where this piece fits?
It fits because the Pentagon budget is being used to facilitate the Uniparty goals. Halper’s contracts and others are buried in dark budgets and never subject to review. When Trump ordered Mattis to execute an audit of the Pentagon, Mattis returned and told him it was IMPOSSIBLE to audit the Pentagon. Mattis is a Swamp creature and did his utmost to protect it from review by We the People, in other words. The Pentagon, DoJ, none of these departments obeyed Trump’s direction and we are the worse for it. We’ve got a long road ahead to clean up this mess. I still wonder whether it’s going to take a budget and economic disaster to get us off this current course.
Has Mifsud ever popped uo again? Alive or otherwise ?
Very clear Halpern was not targeted by investigation BECAUSE he was hired by top FBI to do this!
And we have another FBI informant who stated clearly he was involved in a Hillary payoff, which FBI did not prosecute.
It appears as Trump noted, Comey et al were looking for something to hold against these candidates.
Makes Hoover look juvenile.
