Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appears on Fox News to discuss the latest declassified reports from DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
As noted in the previous interview {GO DEEP}, Nunes draws a strong reference to the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago and asks the question, “what were they looking for?” The Occam’s Razor answer is the FBI was trying to recapture evidence of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that was in President Trump’s possession post administration. WATCH:
.
♦ Former CIA Director John Brennan admitted Peter Strzok helped write the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) which outlines the Russia narrative; and it was also Peter Strzok who authored the July 31st, 2016, “Electronic Communication” from the CIA to the FBI that originated FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane.” Strzok immediately used that EC to travel to London to debrief intelligence officials around Australian Ambassador to the U.K. Alexander Downer.
In short, Peter Strzok was a profoundly overzealous James Bond wannabe who acted as a bridge between the CIA and the FBI. The perfect type of FBI career agent for 2016’s CIA Director John Brennan to utilize.
Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson hired CIA Open-Source analyst Nellie Ohr toward the end of 2015, at appropriately the same time as “FBI Contractors” were identified exploiting the NSA database and extracting information on a specific set of U.S. persons. One, if not the primary extractors, has now been identified as Rodney Joffe at Neustar. “The campaign plot was outlined by Durham in a 27-page indictment charging former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann with making a false report to the FBI. The plot was also outlined in the finished Durham report. Eight individuals who allegedly conspired with Sussmann but does not identify them by name. The sources familiar with the probe confirmed that the leader of the team of contractors was Rodney L. Joffe.” {Go Deep}
It was also Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson who was domestically tasked with a Russian lobbyist named Natalia Veselnitskaya. A little reported Russian Deputy Attorney General named Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was working as a double agent for the CIA and Kremlin. Karapetyan was directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Glenn Simpson was organizing her inside the U.S as part of his Trump-Russia creation.
Glenn Simpson managed Veselnitskaya through the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. However, once the CIA/Fusion GPS operation using Veselnitskaya started to unravel with public reporting, back in Russia Deputy AG Karapetyan died in a helicopter crash.
Simultaneously timed in late 2015 through mid 2016, there was a domestic FBI operation using a young Russian named Maria Butina tasked to run up against Republican presidential candidates. According to Patrick Byrne, Butina’s handler, was FBI agent Peter Strzok who was giving Byrne the instructions on where to send her. {Go Deep}
All of this context outlines the extent to which the FBI/CIA was openly involved in constructing a political operation that settled upon anyone in candidate Donald Trump’s orbit. A large international operation directed by the FBI/CIA and domestic operations seemingly directed by Peter Strzok operating with a foot in both agencies. [Strzok gets CIA service coin] Durham eviscerated the predicate for all of this in his report, yet stayed away from the part that leads to Robert Mueller in 2017.
Recap: ♦Mifsud tasked against Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Halper tasked against Flynn (CIA), Page (CIA) and Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Azra Turk, pretending to be Halper asst, tasked against Papadopoulos (FBI). ♦Veselnitskaya tasked against Donald Trump Jr. (CIA, Fusion GPS). ♦Butina tasked against Trump and Donald Trump Jr (FBI).
Additionally, Christopher Steele was a British intelligence officer hired by Fusion GPS to assemble and launder fraudulent intelligence information within his dossier. And we cannot forget Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch, who was recruited by Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe to participate in running an operation against the Trump campaign and create the impression of Russian involvement. Deripaska refused to participate.
All of this engagement directly controlled by U.S. intelligence, and all of this intended to give a specific Russia impression. This predicate was what John Durham was reviewing in November of 2019 and then released in his final report.

Will DOj burn “sources and methods”? https://jeffreyprather.com/special-dojs-obama-strike-farce/
It would seem Oleg Deripaska has not, so far, “died in a helicopter crash” since he doesn’t really threaten Russian entities. I wonder how much interest there is now in deposing him? He’d probably like to get some personal sanctions cleared up.
Making the MAL raid by the FBI to retrieve CH documents a smash and grab robbery.
Or, in legal parlance “deprivation of rights under color of law”.
Why would Bongino make that post last week? Hopefully, he now realizes that isn’t just 1 or 2 or 3 FBI leaders who are corrupt. The original CH investigation, Mueller probe, the Durham coverup, the MAL raid, the Jack Smith documents hoax…these are a nearly decade-long rolling coup and coverup carried out by hundreds of FBI and DOJ officials.
It’s likely that every agent on the MAL raid was hand picked for their loyalty to that rolling coup.
“It’s likely that every agent on the MAL raid was hand picked for their loyalty to that rolling coup.”
I would say that’s pretty much a guarantee.
And given a “special” back-pack for being loyal soldiers of the cause.
The fbi has been very busy these last few years. They have known about, been informed of, or participated in many domestic “situations” in which men, women and children have been killed. Ruby Ridge, Waco Texas, Las Vegas and Boston Marathon to name a few. Took a knee for BLM after the Summer of Love riots and let us not forget unknown actions during and after the DC “Stop the Steal protest”. Refusal and obfuscation from Chris Wray to investigate and/or control obvious illegal and brutal behavior from ??? many agents.
The Mueller Team used a convicted child sex offender (George Nader) to take a run at Erik Prince who was an advisor to Trump at the time.
I’m waiting and watching to see what transpires with the current effort to shed more light on this mess.
I’m not holding my breath.
It will make me quite happy to hear that Strozk has lawyered up. That dude is the definition of a fbi run amok.
If Trump had secret documents that expose Russiagate he would have released them. If Glenn Simpson had set up the Trump Tower meeting, he would have revealed it in 2016. Rather than send in Mifsud to tell George something that was already on Fox News, they could have just let George get drunk and tell Erika Thompson himself, it required no assistance. Halper and Turk were actually “sent in”, but after the investigation had been officially opened, which is allowed under FBI regulations.
The optics of the raid itself are an insurmountable hurdle to overcome.
I disagree. The optics of heavily armed FBLie raiding MAR and planting evidence while Trump was away, with documentation by conspiring press, was stupidly thought by the Former 51 to be able to influence a jury with the “seriousness” of the accusations. It was dangerous overacting that backfired and never would have gone down that way if Trump and his lawyers were on site. I believe it was specifically planned for when he was away so they could perform their misguided theatre.
Maybe they were looking to take away Trumps hand but I believe it was mostly for show. These failed optics were surmounted by the Trump derangement syndrome perpetrators themselves who thought incorrectly that the American public believes what they do.
If they were serious about getting some documents they would have kept it low key with minimal media so they could thoroughly look through the place. Instead they raided Melania’s panty drawer? Jury manipulation for sure!
I was responding to Ben’s comment, “ If Trump had secret documents that expose Russiagate he would have released them.”
My point was that coming up with straw man arguments about this detail or that detail is not going to obfuscate the overarching plot that is now clearly visible.
I agree that” These failed optics were surmounted by the Trump derangement syndrome perpetrators themselves who thought incorrectly…”
So I’m assuming everyone who knew the Trump Russia collusion was a hoax would be a co conspirator. Everyone in the IC, politicians and media propagandists. Our government is corrupt to the core. Our judicial system is corrupt to the core. Our legacy media is corrupt to the core. One thing for certain is the globalist controlled uniparty that reins supreme in this nation will not allow any prosecutions. They will create another massive diversion of monumental proportions that will make take all eyes off Obama Gate. Everyone should be well prepped.
Hannity always liked to talk about the 95% of the FBI agents. It is becoming increaslingly likely that 95% were corrupt and only about 5% were loyal to the American Constitution. Following orders is no defense. The only salvation possible for these corrupted agents is to quickly get to the DoJ and start singing arias to the FBI corruption. Same holds for CIA agents, National Security Agency employees, and DoJ officials who were in on CH. Waiting and watching will only mean that the “early birds” get lighter sentences in exchange for testimony leading to conviction and that the price for not jumping on board quickly may be Gitmo or Gulag!
Perhaps the entire FUBAR of corrupt Government Cronies stems from Obama’s inablity to handle Power.
Or perhaps the biggest FUBAR that Obama made was letting Holder take control of the Intelligence Community, not only to corrupt it but to destroy the country with it!
“I believe it’s likely the Russian Collusion Hoax was used to cover up previous Crime (Spying On Trump).”
Welcome to the Treehouse, Stephen.
Sundance concluded that and stated in multiple articles that exact position for at least 7 years. He has noted in particular since 2018/2019 that the entire purpose of the Mueller Investigation of the alleged Russia Collusion **was** the Spygate coverup operation..
Go up to the search block at the top of this page and enter “Mueller coverup” and you’ll have a field day with the myriad results.. 😎
For example:
In an article entitled “Litmus Tests:” dated June 9 of last year, Sundance wrote this:
Litmus Question #1: Please, can you tell me your opinion of Robert Mueller?
If the (Republican) respondent replies with any positive about the character, action, purpose and intent of Robert Mueller in the role of special counsel, you can immediately qualify the respondent as a participant in the fraud. There is only one honest response about anything Mueller. Everyone in DC knows Mueller was the coverup operation. No one, not one single person, in Washington DC does not know Mueller’s intent.”

They need to snuff out all the holdovers who are taking direction from a John Brennon.
Hope Devin Nunes (and us) isn’t disappointed once again. Hard to trust after so long a time and so much experience.
I thought the last sentence of this quote from Nunes was very intriguing!
He calls Jack Smith a “fake special council”
What would the implications of that be?
“But that’s a guess,” Nunes continued. ” I don’t know. But all related, all the same people. They raid Mar-a-Lago, unprecedented on the home of a former President at the time. They raid Mar-a-Lago, same people, same hoaxes, same everything, but with the power of the Justice Department, with a fake special counsel, this guy Jack Smith.”

A VERY VERY important element of the rolling coup that Team Trump is not saying:
The purpose of the Russia hoax was not to “muddy up” or “hamper” Trump. The purpose was to trigger a series of events leading to Trump’s impeachment and removal. THAT is why it was an attempted coup d’etat.
The Russia hoax started as an attempt by Clinton/Obama to tie Trump to Russia and help Clinton win. They desperately needed a way to call ANY criticism of Hillary’s illegal emails “Russian propaganda”. They also needed cover for the Wikileaks disclosures. Remember, at the time, Podesta, Clinton, media toadies, etc were calling the Wikileaks deep fakes by Russia.
When Clinton lost, they needed a way to overturn the election. To do that, the only model they had was Nixon. Create a controversy, get Trump to resign, or, failing that, impeach and remove.
I wish I had a link to it, but iirc, Bill Kristol said “impeachment” was the best play when it looked like Trump might win, and all the other October surprises had failed. So as day follows night, Obama and team set out a plan to entrap Trump and set the preconditions for impeachment.
Every single solitary phase of the rolling coup has been either a direct attempt to remove Trump, an attempt to disqualify Trump, leading ultimately to an attempt to kill Trump.
To do that, they needed Sessions out of the way. They needed Flynn out of the way. They needed to flood Team Trump with lots of “Russians” so they could infer he was under Russian influence. They needed Trump to NOT fire Comey.
Firing Comey initiated the cover up. The Mueller / Weissman team tried to carry out the impeachment gambit, but they had no evidence, and Trump easily avoided perjury and obstruction traps by simply telling his people to testify and tell the truth. I’m sure a Special Counsel and impeachment was on Obama’s mind as a possible path to impeachment, but it wasn’t the primary plan. It was a cleanup crew to black bag the operation.
Once Mueller collapsed, part of the coup continued to cover up, and the other part set up shop on the Ukraine Impeachment hoax.
For almost 10 years I’ve said that as each attempt failed, they would inevitably decide to try and kill him.
That’s the gap in Nunes’ story that he needs to get better at filling.
When he started talking about the same 2-dozen coconspirators, he got into the right track. Because their goal has NEVER been to muddy up or hamper Trump.
Their goal has been removal of Trump, by violence if necessary, for a decade now.
Hokkoda, you wrote above one of the easiest to understand explanations (in 8 short paragraphs) that I have ever read.
Well said.
SCHWEITZER BOMBSHELL EXPLODES: CIA London Station Chief EXPOSED as Russiagate’s MASTERMINDS
Barbara Boyd and Peter Schweitzer uncover the shocking involvement of CIA Director Gina Haspel and British Intelligence in the Russiagate coup against Donald Trump. They highlight how the real crime scene was London, with the British Empire at the core of the attack on American sovereignty. Boyd delves into the historical context starting from the collapse of the Soviet Union, illustrating the interconnected actions leading up to 2016. Join us as we expose the media’s misinformation and present the untold story of the global coup and its implications for the future.
Wasn’t Haspel also involved in the overseas vote manipulation?
There was and is an enormous list of reasons. It’s not just the covering up of criminal conduct. Trump was and is overturning pillars of the DC establishment grift be it
– illegals
– endless wars
– economic hollowing out
– wokeism
– etc
Trillions upon trillions of dollars and virtually unlimited power is at risk.
Sure, they needed to cover some stuff up. But the insane number of attempts to overthrow, disqualify, or remove Trump…?
I think we have yet to hear from B. Hussein Obama himself. The closest is his spokespersons comment, in which I do not hear a denial: do you?
