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.
Reminder. Barr and BFF Mueller, et al, still investigating.
Forward to Barr…….Then can file it away in a cabinet.
Sadly, so true.
Is it an over simplification to say, “Thanks for nothing John Roberts,”?
No, he’s responsible for that FISC, and the illegitimate garbage that it whooped through to destroy Trump.
The first Page FISA application was rejected, remember? That one had to have been based on the FARA charge, and at least one FISC judge wasn’t buying it, probably because of Page’s role in burning three SVR agents. The system worked.
Until it didn’t, when this rejection incentivized the creation, through back channels, of a CHS and Steele’s ridiculous stories in order to bolster their first successful application for the warrant.
Has the “rejected” FISA application on Page been released, even in redacted form? I would be most interested to compare it to the “successful” ones. That is the road to proving conspiracy, since the plotters (writ large, including Hillary, Simpson, Steele, FBI) created new “evidence” to plug the holes that sunk round one.
I have wondered the same thing, Chewbarkah. I would like to know why the first FISA application was rejected — and why it didn’t reach the seemingly low bar for approval, compared with the other ones that got through. Hope it isn’t “lost” like so many other pertinent bits of evidence — I think the content would be most enlightening.
Also, Gateway Pundit has several links talking about the rejected FISA warrant — but one of Sundance’s CTH posts from April 2019 states that Jay Sekulow mentions THREE FISA applications that were denied in 2016. (I tried checking the link to the interview, but it gave me an error message.) Considering that so few are denied, that seems significant. Just wondering, if true, if all 3 FISAs were multiple attempts from the same source and targeting the same person, or whether they were for different people, and perhaps from different sources.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/13/jay-sekulow-three-fisa-applications-were-denied-in-2016-and-what-this-means/
Good question. I was wondering that a long time ago. Where is the first and rejected application? Maybe I just missed seeing it, but I would love to see it now and who wrote it and who approved sending it and which judge/judges said no way.
I have not seen any evidence that an initial Page FISA warrant application was rejected by THE COURT.
There was a good deal of testimony about how an initial FBI RECOMMENDATION for such a warrant was rejected by FBI OGC or DOJ/NSD. This recommendation never made it to court.
In light of what we know about the rubber-stamping FISA Judges, I think there is ZERO chance that any of them denied a DOJ/NSD application for a warrant on Page.
You are probably right.
Your rubber-stamp argument has some merit, but is just supposition. If you are correct, then let’s see the Page FISA warrant “recommendation” rejected by FBI OGC or DOJ/NSD. Who recommended it, who reviewed and rejected it, the rationale cited by each.
Sundance, that is the most consistent explanation yet.
Question. Did the lady who didn’t check this FISA application check the other 4 that did not have Woods files? It was her job! Did the 5 all come from above?
Question. Since one DOJ organization, NSD, is failing to do its job checking FISA applications, and the DOJ IG is working to cover that up, what good would it do to have the DOJ IG looking over the NSD work?
Sounds to me like the corruption is wider and deeper than even the plotters could imagine. Trying to protect their crimes by removing IG oversight and being rewarded by the IG with help covering up those very crimes.
The root of this is both absolute secrecy and absolute ownership. These are absolute powers. With resulting absolute corruption. The FISC is a puppet of the DOJ. The judges only know what the DOJ tells them. And they have a full time job doing their original work.
When I did my thesis, there was a lady who could catch formatting violations by literally fanning through the thesis. Thank goodness that modern tech makes it really easy to ensure accurate margins, etc. But it was up to the professors to actually read the thing, make you defend it, and judge your total work.
The FISC can do no more than the format checking lady. They can only judge that the DOJ have sworn that everything was done right. They have no time, no resources, no authority to do anything else. They only know what the DOJ tells them.
And total secrecy guarantees that nobody will ever know of the violations. Even when the violations are country destroying Constitutional shattering crimes, they are hidden and covered up. There is no white knight or white hat who can stand up to such total absolute power.
No amount of DOJ oversight will ever fix this DOJ corruption. Hoover may as well be still running rampant over civil liberty. FISA and the FISC are simply the whitewash covering up the rotting corruption in the DOJ.
Re: the lady that rubber stamped the highly unusual application that came approved from above…she sure spoke truth to power.
Re: the IG…he was at the January 2016 meetings with Ukraine that was chaired by impeachment “whistleblower” Eric CIAramella.
Re: “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.”…John Carlin was head of NSD, Preet Bharara was head of SDNY, and Lynch was USAG. All are credited in the DOJ press releases related to Buryakov. They all knew.
The system worked.
The crossfire team was caught lying to the FISC court.
We need to STOP getting detoured by psychological warfare and media campaigns.
Igor Danchenko informed the Crossfire Hurricane Team in January 2017 that EVERYTHING HE SAID WAS BS.
AG Barr it was a fraud on the FISC court – and a SIMPLE STRAIGHT FORWARD PROSECUTION. I expect you to do your job. You get no other option, but to do you JOB (or you will be prosecuted).
https://4thamendmentrestored.com/who-ran-the-doj-really%3F
Weismen created the WOODS after WOLFE CASE – because he found out Igor Danchenko was interviewed by WFO FBI (informed crossfire hurricane team in jan 2017 it was all BS)
Simple case – Barr POTUS WARNED YOU ! HE FREAKING WARNED YOU
Sigh….because Barr wants to, first and foremost, protect the institutions, he refuses to hold the corrupt individuals responsible.
That is why there will be no honest accountability.
And here we go again and again and again as my own blood pressure rises into the danger zone. For what? I am done with speculations, guesstimates, expectations for changes, etc. You all have a nice labor day.
The office of the presidency is an institution, too, and Barr doesn’t seem too worried about it being taken down. He stood by while the sham of an impeachment went on knowing all the while how the players had spied and had manipulated evidence and he did nothing. He is not putting the coup plotters in jail so that the office of the president is never in danger again. I suppose only certain institutions need protecting.
Maybe…they didn’t want to remove Trump.
Maybe…they just wanted to keep him from being effective.
Then…they didn’t have to change much at all.
They could just pretend they were changing.
Watching the interview on CBS last night, Peter Strzok hasn’t changed a bit. Maybe he feels like he stopped Trump…by keeping Trump less effective.
If the last four years were Trump’s effectiveness “not so much” please let me give me 4 more years of less effective Trump, Pete.
You shouldn’t even be listening to him, if he affects your thinking at all, into that of your first lines above.
Sounds to me like you bought the garbage Strozk is selling. Remember Strozk is both DOJ and C_A and a black hat to boot. Hence, his oozing arrogance. I am not thinking he “feels” much at all.
Patriot Pete, intrepid G-man and former soldier, is pleased with the results of his work? He knew first-hand thst nothing alkeged about Trump or his people was true, but he feels good about preventing the peaceful transfer of power and dividing the country over his farce?
Running a psyop on half the country, which not only resulted in interfering in the midterm elections, but also convinced that gullible half of the citizenry to prefer burning the country down over four more years under this president is how he measures success? Further evidence that he’s a psychopath.
So what? Nothing will be done about it.
That is the way I am starting to feel, nothing will happen. This is just one big show Barr is putting on. Our one and only goal right now is to make sure Trump wins again, then maybe we can get an AG who will do the right thing.
Hell….where’s the show? We don’t even have that.
Of course nothing will be done about it. At this point, bringing justice to the coup plotters is the least of my worries. I read an article by Michael Anton over at The American Mind yesterday and if anyone isn’t worried about the upcoming election, after reading Anton’s article you will be.
If anything is to be done to these treasonous coup plotters, we must first get Trump elected. But in reading over the past several days, even that might not be enough.
I read the article the other day it is disconcerting to say the least
I certainly wish turnabout was fairplay. I hope Trump is NOT counting on Barr. I see a storm on the horizon, the Dems are going to do all they can to fiddle with this election…lying, cheating, stealing. They can do nothing less as their candidate is a walking cadaver.
Remember – the Electoral College determines who is President, not the popular vote.
Turiya, Thank you for this wonderful, informative post.
I’d like to ask a dumb question:
Does it look to you thet President Trump
still has a chance at electoral victory,
due to geographical limits on the areas
where cheating will mostly occur ?
Can you run some electoral estimates?
Or columns that look like sure things and tossups due to mail fraud
issues ?
I’ll say this. They cheated A LOT in 2016.
And P45 won anyway.
But he didn’t win by a strategy of complacency.
Not of his voters, either,
I suspect P45 may have had popular vote narrow
victory in 2016. And I KNOW he has popular vote now in a fair count.
But FRAUD has been turned into a Science
by the DNC/CCP. Not A science, “THE Science.”
This post, yet again and as always (at any point one wants to scrutinize the anti-Trump coup), shows that at no point did they have any evidence against anybody, to start anything, they only had the determination to “destroy Trump” (TM): The ridiculous Steele dossier, the merely personally offended “whistleblowers” of the impeachment…this should all have been made perfectly clear (by Barr) when the Mueller report came out, and it was clear they NEVER HAD ANY GOOD EXCUSE, MUCH LESS HONEST REASON, to persecute the President (and Schiff’s claims to the contrary should have resulted in his expulsion from the Congress of the United States, just for one example); But no, no one has ever honestly confronted that always clear truth, that it was all personal animosity and a common will to break any and all laws and controls to have their way.
And now the absolute obscenity of another presidential election, with the politically correct understanding (absolutely denied by we who know better) that Trump is unfit to be President., and is indeed subhuman. Such stark, and universally promulgated, insanity requires a flame thrower, not a rolling, merely political debate. Insanity and lawlessness, on the part of all of our “trusted” institutions.
As the wits among us keep popping up with: “What could go wrong (that hasn’t gone wrong already)?”
For a man that is supposed to be unfit to be President, Trump has certainly outsmarted and outlasted every Dem effort to sabotage & take him down.
So, the Dems position is they are being out maneuvered by an imbecile (their words).
Says a lot about the Dems…..most of us common folk wouldn’t point out our deficiencies like that.
If even ONE branch of government had some integrity some headway could be made of this. But EVERY branch is corrupt.
From Root to Branch to Leaf.
We Know!
So it isn’t just that McCabe lied to the investigators, exposing himself to the exact same crimes they’re charging Flynn with, but McCabe actually committed an underlying crime that CAUSED him to have to lie to the investigators, unlike Flynn who committed NO crime and is merely being persecuted by the same corrupt Swamp creatures who are letting McCabe walk.
Barr is the prime Swamp creature here. Wolfe and McCain walking away unscathed are the prime indicators that our justice system has broken down completely.
Let’s get through this election and then Trump can handle these scumbags, especially McConnell, who chose and emplaced Barr. I’m interested in how McConnell acts during the next 55 days or so. He’s under the gun electorally, so this is a critical time for him. If Trump surreptitiously works to get him unelected, and he could, it would deliver a hammer blow to the Swamp and Deep State. Tread carefully, turtle.
The crossfire Hurricane team LIED to the FISC COURT.
they were informed by IGOR danchenko in January 2017 that his word to STEELE were all BS
https://4thamendmentrestored.com/who-ran-the-doj-really%3F
So is not having a Woods File originally a crime or just a procedural policy violation?
And if only a procedural violation, wouldn’t Barr or Durham share this that leadership skirted FIB policy?
So is Barr and Durham ignoring this major procedural misstep and is this just another wrist slap?
Why is telling the truth to the American people so hard?
The majority of the American people know little about this issue and won’t know much before the election.
Beyond time for everyone to pay attention to the very large, looming dark cloud on the near horizon called voting fraud and it’s being created to cause manufactured chaos for our upcoming election. That is what we should be laser focused on, imo.
Pres. Trump says he and his team are focused on it and we should be too. Do whatever we can to protect our election process, our votes and how they are counted. No other issue right now is as important as this one.
cjzak: I’m with you on that. None of this will matter a bit if Trump doesn’t win reelection. I’m interested in the post with new information about the fisa warrants, but reelection is the big game now. All our energy must be focused on this. Positive energy, not negative energy about these cretins.
I bet the ACLU will be all over this EXCELLENT posting by SD. s/
(I wonder if SD shared shared this with Aldenberg……)
Aldenberg won’t care. Aldenberg reports to higher ups who control him. Higher ups are controlled by those higher up the food chain all the way up to Barr. So essentially, Barr controls Aldenberg.
Don’t think for a minute Aldenberg or Durham work independently of Barr, or that Aldenberg works independently of Durham. They are all inextricably linked.

James Madison – Speech, Constitutional Convention (June 29, 1787)
It’s amazing how I would study the wisdom of the Founding Fathers as thinking which was was exercised at a practical level for them at the time but which I would appreciate on a theoretical level today – but now it is every bit as practical and in evidence as it was then.
hence the need for a fear of God to be cultivated within a culture.
Just might be the shopping around of info was in fact a search for the best book deal.
Thank you for further revelation of how lawless our unelected and elected rulers are and how ANY protective measures to guard against the abuse of power are useless because they are ignored with no consequences whatsoever… as if we needed more proof of that at this point.
Consider how many times this has probably happened in the past and how many more times it will happen in the future since the totally INCONSEQUENTIAL mistakes made this time are now known and will be avoided next time. They simply got sloppy because they thought that Felonia von Pantsuit was going to be elected for certain at which point we would never have heard about any of this as was the case in the likely past incidences of such abuses of power.
Two articles by two women dated mere days after each other (3/4/2017 & 3/6/17) on the subject of Securing a FISA warrant. Each article clearly written to debunk stories that Trump was spied on. However, they highlight the titles and agencies of the people who would be involved in a FISA approval. Would love to do an article for Sundance highlighting each because they highlight the misdeeds (illegality) of the FBI. NSA, and Justice Dept in their own proponent’s words”
Article One: 3/4/2017 – “How Hard is it to get an intelligence wiretap? pretty hard.
By: Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Ellen Nakashima with the Washington Post
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/us/article/How-hard-is-it-to-get-an-intelligence-wiretap-10977622.php
So many great pieces of information in this one. One particular nugget caught my eye.
‘ following the revelations of widespread NSA surveillance by former intelligence contractor, Edward Snowden, Congress in 2015 created an Amicus Curiae, or public advocate, whom the judge can ask to weigh in on significant interpretations of FISA’
HMMMMM…Did any of the FISA judges ask for an Amicus Curiae in order to interpret a FISA on an OPPOSING CAMPAIGN. Just asking,
Article Two: 3/6/2017 – It Ain’t Easy Getting a FISA Warrant: I was an FBI agent and should know” by Asha Rangappa, Ex FBI agent and current CNN personality
https://www.justsecurity.org/38422/aint-easy-fisa-warrant-fbi-agent/
Another great article filled with fascinating nuggets about the layers and layers of approvals those dastardly FISAs need.
“ The FISA application then travels to the Justice Department where attorneys from the National Security Division comb through the application to verify all the assertions made in it. Known as “Woods procedures” after Michael J. Woods, the FBI Special Agent attorney who developed this layer of approval, DOJ verifies the accuracy of every fact stated in the application. If anything looks unsubstantiated, the application is sent back to the FBI to provide additional evidentiary support – this game of bureaucratic chutes and ladders continues until DOJ is satisfied that the facts in the FISA application can both be corroborated and meet the legal standards for the court. After getting sign-off from a senior DOJ official (finally!), a lawyer from DOJ takes the FISA application before the FISC, comprised of eleven federal district judges who sit on the court on a rotating basis. The FISC reviews the application in secret, and decides whether to approve the warrant.”
Wow, it sure sounds like all the t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted. The final question is always the same….what is the punishment for not following the procedures AND is anyone willing to prosecute? Lack of prosecution proves that the ‘rules’ are bogus and our CIVIL RIGHTS as AMERICANS are ignored by our own GOVT. We the Pwople are going to have do something about the ignoring.
“…what is the punishment for not following the procedures AND is anyone willing to prosecute?”
The last part of your sentence is the nucleus of this whole issue. No one, it seems, is willing to prosecute any who did not and on purpose did not, follow the legal procedures.
Until there is, this issue is treading water, no matter how much legitimate evidence is uncovered by our intrepid investigator Sundance. If Pres. Trump wins another term as I pray and expect he will, this is an issue on the back burner that he can seriously go after when he has no political restrictions anymore. imo.
help4newmoms: There can’t be a prosecution because there is no crime. It is wrong, it should be a crime but it’s not. These are rules and procedures that were broken and not followed in the fbi. Only congress can pass laws making it a crime. You should ask your senators and representatives why they don’t.
It is a crime to perpetrate fraud on a court…The signers of the FISA signed it under penalty of perjury – a crime!
helpfornewmoms: I know that it’s a crime, but since this is a fisc with everything secret we don’t know if they operate under the same rules. I guess we will find out if anyone is ever charged.
p.s.: Thanks, Sundance.
Harry. do not stop.
The primary sub source told the Washingtone Field Office in May 2017 (3rd interview) that he informed the Crossfire Team in Jan 2017 that is was all BULLSHIT.

When by the book refers to an Archie’s comic book from 1962.
It’s all about securing the blessings of liberty through limited government accountable to it citizens.
The individual, the family, the congregation, the neighborhood deal with local issues. Towns and cities with regional. States with whatever the people thru their representatives decide to enact. The federal government is granted limited powers over-arching the states. There are international issues: laws of the sea, air transportation, trade agreements, etc., and the solution is for nations to represent their own citizens and their own rights, looking out for their own interests. Reaching agreements where possible, or not, securing the blessings of liberty for their own citizens in their own lands.
The impulse to control other people to whom the “official” is not accountable, is evil.
If the corrupt Mueller team claims they didn’t need a Woods file because they relied on Steele, then why did they feel the need to concoct one from whole cloth long after the fact?
Probably because by that time it had come out that Steele was bogus, thereby vitiating the original predicate and necessitating at least the appearance of a WF.

20) Framing of Gen. Flynn and PapaD – No Crimes, No Indictments
21) Phil Haney Murder – No Crimes, No Indictments
22) Altering document & Lying about Carter Page status as a CIA Asset – Wrist Slap
23) Unmasking of hundreds of Americans – No Crimes, No Indictments
24) Not submitting the mandatory original Woods File that contains the required documentary proof to verify all statements against U.S. persons that are contained in any FISA application. No Crimes, No Indictments.
So again, ask yourself after reviewing this list if there is one system of justice or two, one for us and one for DC?
Hypocrisy – a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.
Test
I think we need a new poll or two.
1) Who is the most corrupt person in DC?
2) What group or agency is the most detrimental to the existence of the Republic today?
1) John Roberts
2) C_ A
I am still holding out hope (fading) of indictments for conspiracy to defraud the United States and to deny Carter Page his civil rights. Bagpipes alluded to needing a full investigation to cover various conspiracy scenarios. See Mark Levin interview.
The narrative planting always precedes when the coupsters believe the hammer is about to drop.
I increasingly get the sense that while Barr wants to find out what went on, he does NOT have any interest in holding anyone legally accountable for any of their corrupt actions.
Sadly….rather than a host of indictments, I think that we WILL be getting some sort of “Report” at some point that describes the who, what, when, where, and even why of most of the corruption — but no legal actions will be undertaken.
For quite a while I’ve thought that the primary reason for the reluctance — even defiance — to pursue legal remedies was the urge to “protect the institutions”.
But especially after SDs excellent analysis of what went on inside of the Senate Intel Committee and the whitewash of Wolfe, I’ve become more and more convinced that the #1 reason Barr refuses to pull the pin on legal accountability is that it would expose massive participation by US Congress Critters from both parties.
Hopefully Trump wins reelection. If he does, at the very least he will be fully aware of what he’s fighting against.
L4, agree. To bring home the consequences of exposing all the corruption, realizing that Senate Majority Leader Schumer could result.
How do you prosecute the main players for self-contained crimes without toppling the entire government? Drawing the line could be the problem here. I’m sure Barr didn’t originally know how far and wide this would go. I would gladly put this on hold for him to direct DoJ resources to whatever is necessary to SECURE THE UPCOMING ELECTION!
FIFTH: IG Horowitz Provides Cover for Institutional Issues:
Gotta disagree with SD on both this characterization and missing the implication of this:
Horowitz didn’t PROVIDE COVER….
“OJC and NSD told us that, while the FBI’s “Wood Procedures” require that every factual assertion in a FISA application be “verified”, when information is attributed to a FBI CHS, the Woods Procedures require ONLY that the agent verify, with supporting documentation, that the application accurately reflects what the CHS told the FBI. The PROCEDURES DO NOT REQUIRE that the agent corroborate, through a second source, that what the CHS told the FBI is true”.
Horowitz LAID OUT the WOODS PROCEDURES as “interpreted” by the FBI in plain English for the bullshit that they are:
The Woods Procedures require supporting documentation for FISA application allegations….
EXCEPT
when the allegations come from a Confidential Human Source.
Then you just have to document that the information came from a human being.
What is the implication of this though?
The Special Counsel’s office has no legitimate “procedural” reason to go back and create a different Woods File ex-post-facto.
The Woods File doesn’t need to exist for the Carter Page FISA because the FBI’s OWN Wood Procedures SAY IT DOES NOT NEED TO EXIST since the info came from a CHS.
And THERE-IN lies the problem the Special Counsel needed to fix.
The CHS was Steele and his “intel” was debunked by Steele’s own source BEFORE THE SPECIAL COUNSEL was even appointed.
The creation of a Woods File in 2017 is clear evidence of “INTENT” as it is totally unnecessary for any other reason.
critical thinking.
You’re exactly right Krash because in his own backhanded way the IG points out the distinction in how the policies are applied to a FISA application and the exceptions to those rules. Barr can’t possibly prosecute any of these people for crimes let alone cite them for procedural violations because they followed FBI protocol. Even after Steels was terminated as a source his information was given the imprimatur of credibility through clever wordsmithing and outright lies.
The SCO faced a unique situation in that the data gathered during the FISA surveillance period would be compromised if anyone dug too deeply into the origination of the application and questioned it’s validity. Thus the need to go back and reverse engineer a Woods file just in case some smart lawyer started asking questions.
Krashman: It’s their game; their rules.
what was Carter Page’s assignment for the CIA during the start of this? Was he simply ‘there’ to provide the basis for the surveillance and spying or were there other things?
I am so old I remember when Sundance was speculating Bill Priestap was cooperating with the investigation. The good old days when we still had hope.
When Durham is done, I HOPE we are all surprised by both indictments and the identify of the people cooperating.
Okay….so let me be positive a bit. And honest, I haven’t been drinking today….yet.
When Durham is done, it will be like that speech Comey gave in July of 2016 about Hillary: 15 minutes of detailed reasons why Hillary committed crimes, and the crimes she committed…but no legal action because of “intent”.
I think that Durham was DONE before he even started!
Well, you and the grasshopper above have forced me to hit the jug early………
MAGA
Exactly! At this point we have to focus on the election. Durham was Huber 2.0 a nothing burger from the moment he appointed Nora Dennehy the former Democrat appointed Deputy Attorney General of Connecticut who sued the gun manufacturer in the Sandy Hook school shooting ignoring the Connecticut family court judge who cut the kid loose after the mom hired a lawyer then pleaded with the judge to commit him. The judge refused and mom was the first victim. Dennehy ignored that and blamed the gun manufacturer in true Lawfare tradition!
What they did to Trump they do it to everyone not in the club. They have been spying on all of us and that’s what they are protecting at all costs.
They will burn down the country before they are exposed.
They need their power back. It’s theirs, those agencies belong to them. They want to control everyone. They are addicted to it.
They spy on the club, too. That’s how they get their leverage.
The educated and informed analyses of the minutiae on this thread are quite interesting as always . . . but . . . they do not address the overarching question . . .
. . . why is President Trump tolerating the stalling and the coverups?
As President he is the entire Executive Branch. There is no Executive Branch outside of his person. All those departments and bureaucracies are merely extensions of his self. So he can declassify and publish anything and everything which falls within the scope of the Executive Branch any time he chooses to.
Why is President Trump not doing this? Why is he allowing the nonsense to continue endlessly?
Because the USA Pravda Media is
the de facto government, which
can intercept the truth and make
Truth telling an impeachable offense ?
And because the only difference between
US Pravda and Soviet Pravda
is that ” the Russian people knew they were being lied to ” ?
I’ve seen no evidence that President Trump is afraid of the leftist media . . . and that he is unable to directly communicate over their heads. There has to be another reason. Anyone?
There is much evidence that President Trump is
NOT afraid of “Pravda” US media- He is not afraid
to call them fake news and “enemy of the
people.”
President Trump was not “afraid” of Mueller/Wessman
Abstruction Team, either- But they severely inhibited
what he P45 DID.
If he had not been careful, as he is being now,
he would already have been impreached and convicted
of obstructing justice- P45 had a good read on the level
of McConnel- style saboteurs he had in the Senate,
giving the Dems a majority for conviction on obstruction,
and maybe 2/3- ? A death blow to his agenda. Similarly.
he is being careful now. Afrer re-election ( or God forbid in
a lame duck period con m ing right up) , all bets are off.
This is my guess as to the primary reason P45 is
not platying his whole hand now. He hopes to have others do it for him.
Because without indictments and the DOJ releasing the docs
ide[pendently, the Coup-co-conspirators of
Media will simply misreprt what has been released,
The separate documants are not enough, and the media will lie
about the story they tell. They will say the release is an insult
to US security and justice system, and impeachable offense.
And half the population will believe them.
THis is not to say there are not other reaons, as you suspect,
Defenderof TroyDonahue. What you say makes sense,
and there probably ARE other reasons out of our sight.
Your suggestion that we think about this is VERY well
taken, I think.
But I think the primary reason is likely the
very real, very false evil power of the
” Media/UniParty/Deepstate Complex” ?
( for want of a better term).
P45 may yet release all docs, at once or in series.
But it will be a last resort at a strategic time, if when he does.
I would be willing to bet he’s thought about it, wouldn’t you say ?
Many times !
I think P45 has often outflanked the Media. And he hopes
to defeat and reform them by shaming them, if he can.
I hope he continues to play his cards at just the right time,
and to say things that come true. Like when he said, We caught em all.
Most Americans now know and believe the American media is lying to them, imo. What this means in the end we don’t know. Hopefully, we see backlash on the media to get them to change or some of them to disappear, but when or if that happens, who knows.
Good point, cjzak. The tide is turning for Trump.
P45 hopes for a critical mass after which he is
trusted, justifiably, and medai is completely
discredited ( justifiably, of course).
I think P45 is winning on the awarenes of the miseducation
system, too. P45 has a winning issue on school
vouchersw, ans in my mind
the public schools almost count as part of
or an Annex of the Media.
The scale of the cultural battles President Trump
is fighting, and the strategies wehreby
he actually may be WINNING, just amazing to me.
“Politics is downstream from Culture.” P45
seems very AWARE of this principle ( ?).
And when he makes moves, I usually
don’t fully understand how deft they are.
How firringly unconventional his moves are,
creating new awarenesses miraculously.
I meant “fittingly” PLease forgive my typos, cjzak and Defende oftroyD.
I hope you can deduce what I meant ! The letter labels have worn off much
of my keyboard- and I can’t see well even with readers ! Also,
forgive me for maybe sounding hyperopinionated. Actually,
I know I don’t know. I learn things here daily.
You know what I can’t figure out, based on PrayingMedic’s wonderful
post on this comment strand above ?
DOESN’T P45 have a shot at 270 clear electoral votes w/in
one week of elecrion day, due to limitations
on scale of cheating outside 7 states which were mainly
D column anyway ?
I sure hope so !
Sorry, Reaganite, I can forgive genocide, murder, rape, pillaging, arson, brutality, and jaywalking . . . but I can’t forgive typos. Maybe if you took some bagpipe lessons your fingers would become more nimble!
As to election cheating . . . once again the demonrats are displaying their immense stupidity. Nearly all of their cheating will be taking place in states that they would win without cheating. That means President Trump’s keen-eyed election watchers can concentrate their efforts in just a handful of states . . . and President Trump will win those states by such big margins that the cheaters can’t overcome it.
Have no fear, my good friend, President Trump will win an electoral landslide . . . maybe 345 electoral votes to 193 for that Chinese candidate.
cjzak, THANK YOU for taking time to address the electoral
truth versus cheat issue, after giving me a laugh as bonus !
Silly laugh followed by relief laugh !
Re your electoral cheat factor assassment:
THat’s how it’s looking to me too ! I had wrong peron
I attributed chart to ( it was “Turia,”: I had also seen good post
from “praying medic” &
confused the 2, misremembered )…wrote them also.
I think you are right but I am srill worried for this reason:
in some of the swing states, I am afraid DNC will “find” just enough
fraud ballots IN THEIR DNC “blue” enclaves where they
control count process,
w/in one week to overcome the margin, unless
margin outystrips 2016 margin.
But on other hand, the suburbs and minority vote
will be moving SECISIVELY toward sanity.
I’d like to believe freedonUSA is not a suicide pact.
And the DNC/CCP has made it so clear they
are threatening us “it won’t stop” unless we vote suicide.
I’d like to belief they have lost the base they would need to
build their cheat-scheme ON.
But I know an alarming number of people who
have TDS so bad it is their OXYGEN.
THe US co-conspirator media has HYPNOTIZED
lotsa people,,, so I worry. But the zombies are the same ones
who were outvoted in 2016. It is Trump who has
built support by results.
Just thinking out loud like a worry wart.
I hope my financial commitment to WINRED ,
combined with millions of regular like minded people
can help Team Trump
shoulder the legal muscle to wrest this election
from the LAWFARE crowd’s incredibly blatant and evil machinations.
I know this: Sundance and CTH are HELPING.
Salvation is earned through WORKS of the spirit.
And savation starts now. We as a culture have to pass
a spiritual IQ test this year. And then stay committed
to the MAGA concept long term, reforming our media
and educarion systems by step by step conscious moral choices.
I appreciate your words more than I can express, cjzak.
OK, I meant “assessment.”
No intentionally crude stuff here !
I have reached the point where
I am worn down to interchangeable vowel sounds.
You post is the sound of REASONED optimism,cjzak.
Just what the doctor ordered
Defenderof Troy Donahue,
I referred to youas cjzak, sorry !
And THANK YOU for your electoral math encouraging
reply to me, which you can tell I needed to hear
very much ! Thanks to you and cjzak too.
I think you are right but I worry about it
and wish there was more I could do.
And thank you for your excellent
jocularity
which is just what the Doctor
ordered- For me and for all of us.
So is Strzok’s “agents were overworked claim” a ploy to get out in front of this info? Set the narrative?
Well, we may find out a little more about spygate just because they have to pretend to be investigating it.
But what we will never see is that… what they did to Trump they did to anyone they wanted and this is not new. They use the power of surveillance against whoever they want, when they want.
This has been going on for decades.
That’s why they are burning the country down. They want their power back. They must keep control of the powerful agencies. It’s how they get everything they want.
Thanks again for your hard work, SD, its greatly appreciated!
We become outraged by this corruption and abuse, and fear what it portends for the future of liberty. But the ‘state’ including their paid for media completely accepts this behavior and laugh at people who think it is abhorrent. They know at least for now all we can do is moan about it in small recesses of the internet. While they still exist.
As I have said for months, there never was an original Flynn 302 either.
My experience is with medical records, and if there is not a record of something being done, then the legal assumption is that it was not done.
To alter a medical record after the fact would indicate wrongdoing, or attempting to protect one’s self through a coverup.
The same legal considerations should hold for law enforcement, and law enforcement should be held to a higher legal standard.
If nothing else, the omissions should be grounds for a civil suit, similar to medical malpractice, and if actual violations of the law, then should be prosecuted forthrightly
Lawyers violating basic legal standards should have their legal standings reviewed by the appropriate state licensing boards.
While extreme carelessness with regard to legal procedures may be permissible in some types of government work, state licensing boards ordinarily hold licensees to a higher standard and will require remedial measures such as reviewing educational requirements or in the most extreme cases, may actually disbar a licensee.
Sundance we await your instructions to Let’s Roll!
The most powerful lawyers in the world have been in charge of the agencies(same people) for decades.
*They made the rules they live by.*
They made them so they never go to jail.
They were created to give them absolute power.
The one trick is to lie to us and tell us they have checks and balances in place. They needs us to believe they have a system in place that prevents abuse. They would never abuse our almighty surveillance power… (wink wink. )
That is not true, they made the rules so they can abuse our surveillance power and that is what they are hiding.
Sundance, this is the best, most concise, lucid explanation thus far with respect to the etiology of the entire fraudulent “investigation” into President Trump. I am going to broadcast it to my contacts as a standalone, definitive work. Thank you so very much for your work!
Woods file actually produced by political opponent, Hillary Clinton and DNC with their law firm paying ChristopherSteele for salacious content of Steele dossier.
I would think there’s at least a Hatch act violation, government employees engaging in political activity.
This does not surprise me one bit. In fact, you can say the Steele Dossier IS the Woods File. If you read the FISA application this is obvious. The affiant just recounts what Steele tells the FBI in his dossier entries. Hannity and crew were always making a big deal that the FISA application was supposedly “VERIFIED” and how that was supposedly a lie. It’s not. Steele may be lying or the Russian stooge at the Brookings Institute may be lying, but everyone signing the FISA application was telling the dead solid perfect TRUTH.* They were, in fact, told by a CHS what they recounted in the FISA application. They told the truth and the contents of the FISA application were verified to the extent that the stories they say were told were actually told.
The questions to ask now are: Why did the FBI/DOJ big wigs think this was sufficient? and why did the FISA judge signed off on an application just based on the outlandish musings of one CHS?
*Clinesmith’s bungling excluded. His falsification of evidence is so inexplicable that I am beginning to believe he is more than just a scapegoat and rather a sacrificial lamb.
Ahhhh, I LIKE what I see today. All roads lead back to the same cast of characters. For so many years it all seemed so complex and confusing to understand but now it seems so simple and…… clumsy.
As in most crime stories, once you know the ending, what stands out most is the boldness of the criminals; the idea that they thought they could actually get away it. They thought it because they got away with it for sooo long. They became bolder and bolder thinking the music would never stop. Well, the music HAS stopped and we can clearly see who doesn’t have chairs. They are 100% screwed. It is all the same people Sundance displayed in his graphics from the get-go. Haha.
It seems to me what we have been watching from a front row seat (thank you Sundance) WAS the process playing out. All the Vindmans and Trish Andersons cut their deals and gave their testimony. The accusations all seemed so outrageous and hard to believe in 2017. Now their treachery will be met with a collective yawn…because everyone already knows THOSE guys were corrupt. The are kryptonite now.
The big question now is …. movie or miniseries and who will play their parts?
I also appreciate the clarification as to what happened where the “Woods File” was concerned. Several heads should have rolled over this, but nobody has been indicted for anything, except for Kevin Clinesmith, who was basically given a pass for lying to Congress if he would plead guilty in advance of any trial.
Somehow, I believe it is time to put aside trying to pressure Barr and Durham into doing anything. We have more pressing battles to fight in the Fall of 2020. Barr can be dealt with if Trump wins and decides to deal with him. Maybe Barr and Durham will deal with some of these criminals after all the bullshit surrounding the election finally subsides, if it ever does. They are just waiting to see who is in power in 2021 and they will support the winning mob at that time.
Trump2020!
I’m starting to get pretty pissed off.
You all all smarter then this. This has been covered by Sundance thoroughly! So, I’ll post this image just to refresh everyone because I KNOW WE ALL REMEMBER!
How DOES THE FBI or any GD body, explain away the Steele Primary Subsource, informing the Crossfire Hurricane Team, in Jan 201,7 that NOTHING HE SAID WAS LEGIT OR REAL???????
(Look at the last timeline point) ITS CRIMINAL FRAUD ON THE COURT- ITS TREASON – ITS a 4thAmendment violatin on EVERY 2 HOP American Citizen and EVERYONE the Muller COUP touched.
PERIOD!

FISC court is not your regular court. It was created for the swamp by the swamp.
They created their own system, they made the rules.
The rules we think they follow you hear on TV are just so we don’t revolt. But inside the secret world that we are not allowed in, they do whatever they want and they all know it.
Regular rules and laws are irrelevant. That’s why all legal experts have been wrong in saying they broke many laws. No charges for McCabe… he clearly broke regular laws. But inside the agencies he has immunity. That’s why the smile on their faces. But they need to keep that a secret, so they just dance around it.
Just like in Congress they are allowed to lie and have immunity for everything, even more so inside the agencies.
They gave themselves endless immunities.
Forget regular laws. These people follow their own rules.
Notice how the House can hold hearings and if the witness lies to Congress he goes to jail, yet, House members can make up documents and read that on floor during a hearing and they have immunity. They can lie all they want during a hearing and they can humiliate the witness, they can insult them and refuse them a chance to talk to defend themselves. They can impeach anyone for any reason.
Special rules for them.
Notice how Schiff acquired Nunes phone records and released it, and used it, to damage people. Nothing Nunes can do about it.
That is illegal, but the swamp make the rules so they are immune.
Same thing in the agencies.
I completely disagree!
it was a way to show respect to the 4th amendment!
they DIDNT they violated it
see page 188 of IG report
I am wondering if ANYONE CARES??????????
I do agree that people are getting away with crimes.
I just want to disagree that Barr has to let them.
keep commenting kleen. ty.
Kleen: I do believe, you’ve unlocked the code.
So if the FBI deemed Steele a CHS to use his dossier as a substitute for a Woods file, did they also deem his primary subsource, Danchenko, a CHS too? If so, why weren’t his multiple assertions that the info he gave Steele was unreliable included in the renewal applications? If Steele’s dossier was sufficient to get the FISA warrant initially, why did they even bother to interview Danchenko?
Probably not first time either. They have been doing this kinda of stuff forever and it’s not against their own inside rules. It’s just how it’s done in there.
they purposefull ignore the PSSS!~~ because it BLEW IT ALL UP AND MADE THIS A CRIME!!!
FRAUD – AG Barr you know what to do
absolutely correct, and add in sedition.
It is dereliction of duty, obstruction og justice, abs aiding/abetting for barr and durhsam to refuse to prosecute because “politics”.
fraud, lying under oath, conspiracy, violation of civil rights under color of law are not “politics”

“ITS CRIMINAL FRAUD ON THE COURT- ITS TREASON – ITS a 4thAmendment violatin on EVERY 2 HOP American Citizen and EVERYONE the Muller COUP touched.“
Yes it is. And now it is clear for all but the willfully blind to see. 4 years ago even the most cynical would not have believed the depth of the rot and corruption. Now “We All Know”.
Don’t you see? There were two things going on. Trump let them think It was going to be business as usual. They thought they WERE doing it as it was done in the past: Lindsey would huff; the investigators admit to the small crimes and call for ethics training; the media would puff and they would successfully kick the can down the road. But I believe that was theater to cover for the actual teams working in the background.
In hindsight, they were fools to fall for it as it was too easy, too obvious.
It’s over, it’s done, the noose is securely around their necks and I believe the floor is just about to be kicked out fro underneath them.
The Trump Presidency has been an era of transparency, not of justice. Many evils have been exposed – persons, government agencies and departments, corporate entities, the press, NGO’s, Committee’s in the Congress/Senate, etc… We have learned about “the swamp” – also called “the deep state”, traitors hidden inside our federal government, and we have seen these creatures create events to fight back when they’ve been noticed. This is all very good.
We need to keep pushing for good. Fight as much as you can to re-elect President Trump and re-take the House and Senate. Fight in any way you can for good – be a prayer warrior, be a local organizer, poll watcher, phone call maker, donate monthly to Republican candidates fighting for House seats….whatever you can. Don’t get caught up in anger and hate – that is the Democrats lane and the path to evil. Everything you do, do it out of love for country, for your neighbors, your town, your family, for all the people you know are fighting for justice and goodness to be the norm again in America.
