CTH is delayed in analysis of this story because we are a stickler for source document origination. For some unknown reason the originating document source is identified as ODNI, yet the documents themselves are not officially released. That is not comforting, and points toward controlled messaging.
According to reports today, most citations returning to [Federalist and Fox News], the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, has released the background documents (pertaining to an earlier declassification of documents) showing handwritten notes by CIA Director John Brennan briefing the White House and the CIA referral to the FBI -of Clinton coordinating the Trump-Russia narrative- for operation Crossfire Hurricane.
The two releases today would be connected to the earlier release (red boxes) to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Without an official originating source for the handwritten notes I am cautious to expand discussion. The Federalist and Fox News appear to have received the notes.
The notes would pertain to a July 26, 2016, discussion between CIA Director John Brennan and an advisor to Hillary Clinton. That discussion subsequently led Brennan to brief President Obama, Denis McDonough, Susan Rice and possibly James Comey on July 28, 2016, as noted by Brennan himself in a recent op-ed.
[…] on the afternoon of July 28, 2016, I informed [President Obama] in a hurriedly scheduled meeting that Russian President Vladimir Putin had authorized his intelligence services to carry out activities to hurt Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and boost the election prospects of Donald Trump. (link)
Candidate Hillary Clinton proposing the strategic deployment of a Russian collusion narrative on July 26, 2016, is additionally important because only one day earlier, July 25, 2016, Clinton campaign Manager Robby Mook advocated for this exact narrative on the first day of the 2016 Democrat National Convention in Philadelphia.
- April 2016 – Fusion GPS hired to dig up dirt on Trump. Fusion hires Chris Steele to write his fabricated Trump-Russia Dossier.
- June 2016 – Clinton campaign coordinates with State Dept. allies to introduce Veselnitskaya to Donald Trump Jr.
- July 2016 – Clinton campaign pushes Russian conspiracy narrative to allies in intelligence community, John Brennan. Peter Strzok begins Trump-Russia investigation; FBI, DOJ and aggregate intelligence community weaponized to assist.
- August 2016 – Clinton campaign advisor, former Acting CIA Director Mike Morell, writes op-ed in New York Times postulating Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
- September 2016 – U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok regarding “U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private mail server.” (link)
Which brings us to the second release today. The release of the September 2016 referral.
This is the referral from Brennan to James Comey and Peter Strzok, perhaps a CYA of sorts, telling the FBI about the Clinton campaign involvement.
[fyi the font of the date on this document seems different]
Here’s the investigative referral as released:
[scribd id=478987772 key=key-ErWWSZsTY0WfYyNBpE66 mode=scroll]
.
Here’s where we need to go back to TWE’s exceptional review of Brennan’s working group:
[…] On June 27, 2016, Director James Clapper signed the “Coordination of Clandestine Human Source and Human-Enabled Foreign Intelligence Collection and Counterintelligence Activities in the United States”. The same day, Director Brennan and Chief Alex Younger spoke with each other.
Two days later, on June 29, 2016, Director Brennan gave remarks at the Council On Foreign Relations.
The next month, in July 2016, the Central Intelligence Agency’s Counterintelligence Mission Center served as a conduit to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by using contacts developed by the Central Intelligence Agency between Russian individuals and members of the Trump campaign.
“The unit helped trigger the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia by serving as a conduit to the FBI last year for information the CIA develooped on contacts between Russian individuals and Trump campaign associates, officials said.” — The Washington Post
“Last year, the center played an important part in detecting Russian efforts to cultivate associates of the Trump campaign. Former CIA director John Brennan testified in May that he became ‘worried by a number of contacts that the Russians had with U.S. persons’ and alerted the FBI.” — The Washington Post
On July 2, 2016, Special Agent Strzok, David Laufman, the boyfriend of Sally Moyer, [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] interviewed Hillary Clinton at the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters, with David Kendall, Katherine Turner, Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson and [REDACTED] attending the interview.
Strzok then listened to Hillary’s phone interview on CNN, where she denied sending classified information, as he and Page texted each other about Director Comey’s intention to announce that they were nearly complete with the Midyear Exam investigation. Director Comey also engaged in a discussion over the telephone with the Midyear Exam investigation team about Hillary’s interview.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: “You interview Hillary Clinton I guess it was July 2nd– 2016. But actually, you’re not there?”
JAMES COMEY: “No ’cause I’m the dir– at that point, the director of the F.B.I. Only on TV is the director jumping out of helicopters and conducting interviews. My job is to make the final decisions. The pros will do the interview, the agents who had actually been investigating her and crawling all around her life for a year. And that’s the way it should be.”
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: “And after the interview, what did you learn?”
JAMES COMEY: “Spent a lotta time on the phone with the team that afternoon and learned that we didn’t find anything, the team didn’t, that changed their view of the case. That this was a case that the Department of Justice would never prosecute. And, most importantly, they didn’t want to do additional investigation. There was nothing she said that they believed we could prove was false. And there was nothing else they needed to run down to see if she was testifying to us falsely. And so the view of the team was, ‘We’re done here. Our view of this case is firm. No prosecutor would prosecute this case.” — ABC News
On July 5, 2016, Director Comey announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation would be closing the Midyear Exam investigation, with zero recommendations for charges for Hillary Clinton. The next day, Attorney General Lynch released her statement that there would be no charges.
On June 13, 2016, Director Brennan — introduced by General John Allen and moderated by Bruce Riedel — hosted a discussion titled “CIA’s Strategy In the Face of Emerging Challenges” at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC.
A few days later, on July 19, 2016, Director Brennan attended a Leadership Dinner at the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, where he discussed the modernisation of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Open Source Enterprise.
Two days later, on July 21, 2016, a number of White House officials attended a high-level security meeting, which featured people from the National Security Council, the United States Department of Defense, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security. During the meeting, they discussed the reports that the Russian Government had hacked into the servers of the Democratic National Committee.
Hours later, on July 22, 2016, WikiLeaks started to publish the e-mails from the Democratic National Committee. At the same time, American intelligence started to collect conversations where Russian officials discussed contacts with Trump associates.
“The warning signs had been building throughout the summer, but were far from clear. As WikiLeaks was pushing out emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee through online publication, American intelligence began picking up conversations in which Russian officials were discussing contacts with Trump associates, and European allies were starting to pass along information about people close to Mr. Trump meeting with Russians in the Netherlands, Britain and other countries.” — The New York Times
The next day, on July 23, 2016, Alexander Downer informed Elizabeth Dibble at the United States Embassy in London of his conversation with Papadopoulos from May 10, 2016. The information was then transmitted from the United States Department of State to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Headquarters.
Four days later, on July 27, 2016, Trump hosted a press conference, where he said: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. I think you’ll be rewarded mightily by our press.” At the same time, the Aspen Security Forum started, which was attended by Director Brennan, Director Clapper, Director Comey, John P. Carlin and Representative Adam Schiff.
Towards the end of July 2016, American intelligence agencies proceeded to inform the White House that the Russian Government was behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee.
On July 29, 2016, Strzok and Page texted each other about a new case and whether Page had discussed it with Deputy Director McCabe. The next day, on July 30, Strzok texted Page and wondered if he would be able to bring her to London with him.
On July 31, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, as Strzok texted Page about the importance of his visit to London.
Crossfire Hurricane had four targets:
- George Papadopoulos — The May 2016 Downer meeting.
- Carter Page — The 2013 Russian intelligence incident.
- Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn — The Russia Today dinner.
- Paul Manafort — The Ukraine investigation.
The next month, in August 2016, Carter Page left the Trump campaign.
Now this is where we to have split it between two articles. This will focus on the Working Group. We will return the bigger half later.
At some point, Director Brennan received intelligence from an intelligence agency in the Baltic States — the Estonian Information Board — which featured a recording about money being moved from the Kremlin into an American presidential campaign.
“Last April, the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was — allegedly — a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US presidential campaign.
It was passed to the US by an intelligence agency of one of the Baltic States. The CIA cannot act domestically against American citizens so a joint counter-intelligence taskforce was created.” — Paul Wood, BBC News
“According to the BBC, the justice department’s request came after a tipoff from an intelligence agency in one of the Baltic states. This is believed to be Estonia.” — The Guardian
As previously discussed, it should be noted that the Estonian Information Board conducted intelligence gathering on a meeting in the Czech Republic maintained by the organisation Rossotrudnichestvo, a meeting described within the Steele dossier, which allegedly featured Michael Cohen. It should also be noted that the Federal Bureau of Investigation were aware of Sergei Millian through a 2011 investigation into Yury Zaytsev, the head of Washington’s Rossotrudnichestvo.
Director Brennan would also meet with Director Robert Hannigan of GCHQ and receive intelligence at “director level”, despite the two not being counterparts.
This Working Group was either formed in April or in August.
“The informal, inter-agency working group began to explore possible Russian interference last spring, long before the FBI received information from a former British spy hired to develop politically damaging and unverified research about Trump, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the inquiry.” — McClatchy
The McClatchy article, if taken at face value, would suggest that the Working Group was active months before mid-September 2016, which is the moment that the Crossfire Hurricane team received the Steele memos.
Alternatively, The Washington Post suggests that the Working Group was formed in August 2016, which contained several dozen analysts. For the purposes of these articles, we will be using the August 2016 start time.
After the beginning of August 2016, Director Brennan convened a secret task force — the “Working Group” — which was composed of agents from multiple agencies:
- Central Intelligence Agency — Foreign
- Federal Bureau of Investigation — Domestic
- National Security Agency — Foreign
- Office of the Director of National Intelligence — Foreign
- United States Department of Justice — Domestic
- United States Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network — Domestic
The Working Group operated out of the Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters, where it worked in secrecy away from the other members of the various intelligence agencies. Agents that participated in the Working Group had to sign non-disclosure agreements to access the shared intelligence of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. It has also been described as “informal”.
The Working Group would also report to two different sets of people:
- President Barack Obama and less than fourteen (14) senior United States Government officials.
- Operations specialists at the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency
The Working Group had a number of tasks to accomplish in their investigations of Donald Trump, his campaign and Russian interests.
- The transfer of money from the Kremlin to assist the Trump campaign through the use of a system which paid thousands of Russian-American pensioners by funnelling the monies to e-mail hackers in the United States, or to funnel that money to intermediaries.
- Locate the main financier behind the e-mail hacks of both the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta.
Attorneys at the United States Department of Justice’s National Security Department then attempted to file a FISA application with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court to intercept electronic records for two Russian banks — SVB Bank and Alfa Bank.
The Crossfire Hurricane investigation team, in conjunction with a number of agents at the Eastern District of Virginia under United States Attorney Dana Boente, reported to the Working Group, including the Central Intelligence Agency. During this time, they investigated the four main targets of Crossfire Hurricane, and they also investigated Roger Stone as part of their expanded WikiLeaks investigation.
“The F.B.I.’s thinking crystallized by mid-August, after the C.I.A. director at the time, John O. Brennan, shared intelligence with Mr. Comey showing that the Russian government was behind an attack on the 2016 presidential election. Intelligence agencies began collaborating to investigate that operation. The Crossfire Hurricane team was part of that group but largely operated independently, three officials said.” — The New York Times
As part of the secrecy surrounding the Working Group and Crossfire Hurricane, the Crossfire Hurricane team was provided their own source of funding, and they worked in a secure area, titled the “war room”, within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Headquarters, which required special clearance to enter.
Meanwhile, the United States Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network warned officials and United States Congress that both American citizens’ and residents’ banking and financial data had been illegally searched and stored. Those breaches extended to other intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency.
This was accomplished as the Office of Intelligence and Analysis opened a back door to give access to the intelligence agencies. Another aspect was that the United States Department of the Treasury attempted to transfer the work of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, which was fought back by employees at the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
At the time, the Office of Intelligence and Analysis was ran by the Assistant Secretary For Intelligence and Analysis, S. Leslie Ireland, whom also simultaneously worked as the National Intelligence Manager For Threat Finance at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. She started both positions in July 2010, and left both positions in November 2016.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, in the summer of 2016, also inquired about reviewing the Office of Intelligence and Analysis’ guidelines under Executive Order 12333, but they were ultimately removed from the e-mail chain surrounding the issue.
The National Security Agency successfully collected the records of 151 million American phone calls through the use of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court orders to collect information from 42 individuals. This involved the distribution of 3,914 reports which contained information about Americans gathered in warrantless surveillance programs. The National Security Agency also collected metadata through pen register orders for 41 targets.
For a visual aide, you can use this interactive image from The Guardian to showcase how the two hop system works.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and the United States Department of the Treasury all collectively worked on the investigation into Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as they scrutinised his communications to determine the extent of his communications with Russian Government contacts.
In August 2016, Paul Wood of BBC News contacted a retired spy, where the spy mentioned that they had heard of the existence of Russian blackmail on Trump from “the head of an East European intelligence agency”. The same month, Director Brennan shared intelligence with Director Comey, which contained information showing that the Russian Government was behind the interference of the 2016 United States presidential election. Directors Brennan and Comey would engage in further conversations as summer rolled on.
On August 2, 2016, Strzok and another agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation met with Downer in London, where they discussed Papadopoulos. This led to concern from Deputy Director McCabe about information control, while the United Kingdom requested Strzok not to disclose any identities outside of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The next day, on August 3, 2016, the Russian Foreign Ministry transferred $30,000.00 to the Russian Embassy’s Citibank account in Washington, DC, where they left a memo line: “to finance election campaign of 2016”.
On August 19, 2016, Paul Manafort resigned from the Trump campaign, as a ramification of the actions of Ukraine.
In September 2016, Paul Ahern argued with numerous employees at the United States Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network about the Office of Intelligence and Analysis’ powers over searching American citizens’ bank accounts and financial details as there were draft guidelines which authorised it, although the guidelines were never finalised.
On September 14, 2016, Special Agent Strzok attended a briefing hosted by the National Security Agency.
On September 26, 2016, John Carlin filed a notification with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court. These efforts to acquire a FISA on Carter Page were discussed at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as Lisa Page learned of the plans around this time.
“According to Page’s testimony, she first learned of plans to obtain a FISA warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page approximately a month before the FISA was granted on Oct. 21, 2016.” — Jeff Carlson, The Epoch Times
By the end of September 2016, agents at both the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency, people at Capitol Hill, and other people at other intelligence agencies were leaking information surrounding the investigation of Trump and Russia to The New York Times, which was investigated in an effort led by Eric Lichtblau and Steven Lee Myers.
On October 21, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Department of Justice — signed off by Director Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates — formally filed their Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court to monitor the communications of Carter Page, in a document containing over 50 pages.
The secret surveillance order was then approved by Judge Rosemary Collyer at the Foreign Intelligence Surveilance Act Court, which granted permission to conduct electronic surveillance on Carter.
The FISA order was ultimately used by Director Brennan’s Working Group, as the information gathered gave them multiple investigative leads into the Trump campaign. This was most likely used in conjunction with Paul Manafort’s own active FISA, which was also being used for surveillance.
“The FBI and other US agencies have been combing through information obtained through that FISA as part of its ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign’s links to Russia.” — CNN
“A secret order authorized by the court that handles the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) began after Manafort became the subject of an FBI investigation that began in 2014. It centered on work done by a group of Washington consulting firms for Ukraine’s former ruling party, the sources told CNN.
The surveillance was discontinued at some point last year for lack of evidence, according to one of the sources.
The FBI then restarted surveillance after obtaining a new FISA warrant that extended at least into early this year.” — CNN
As a reminder:
“Here is one hypothetical scenario. The NSA requests approval from the FISA court to collect the communications of the Arab-American Civil Rights League on the grounds that it suspects some dubious characters have been using its facilities. Over a period of months (if there a restriction on the duration of electronic surveillance under FISA rules), they register 1,000 communications. Using ‘first hop’ privileges they identify 250 persons whose own communications they wish to tap. Using “second hop” privileges they next identify a total of 1,500 more people whose communications they wish to tap. That makes a total of 2,700 persons whose telephone calls they are monitoring and storing. Each year, the NSC requests warrants from the FISA courts about 500 times. Hence, we can project more than 1 million telephone numbers now under surveillance for an indefinite period of time. For we should further note that once an official investigation is begun the records acquire the status of legal documents in a judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding.” — Michael Brenner, The Huffington Post
Between November 1–6, 2016, Paul Wood met with Glenn Simpson at BBC News’s Washington station to have lunch, where Simpson provided Wood with a redacted copy of the Steele memos. Shortly after this, Wood then contacted the Central Intelligence Agency in an attempt to corroborate the information, where he received an unofficial intermediary whom said they the Steele memos were credible and they had numerous outside sources to it.
“Mr Wood said he had asked the CIA about the allegations made in the dossier, which is said to have circulated for months among major media outlets, who were not able to corroborate its contents, before it was published by BuzzFeed.
‘I sent a message to the CIA at the beginning of November to ask them about these allegations,’ said Mr Wood.
‘It was illegal for any official to talk to me about them, but I got a message back through an intermediary that said the allegations were regarded as credible. And more than that, there was more than a single source for them, not just this MI6 man.’” — The Independent
On December 9, 2016, President Obama ordered a review to be carried out by American intelligence agencies to research Russian interference in United States elections going back to 2008. The same day, Adam Entous, Ellen Nakashima and Greg Miller — with assistance from Julie Tate — published the article “Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House” in The Washington Post, while David E. Sanger and Scott Shane published “Russian Hackers Acted to Aid Trump in Election, U.S. Says” in The New York Times.
As part of the development of the Intelligence Community Assessment, Director Brennan hand-picked a number of agents from both the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, one of whom was Special Agent Peter Strzok, whom worked as an intermediary between Director Comey and Director Brennan.
The next day, on December 10, 2016, Nakashima and Entous — again with Tate’s assistance — published the article “FBI and CIA give differing accounts to lawmakers on Russia’s motives in 2016 hacks” in The Washington Post. A reporter, meanwhile, sent an inquiry to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where they asked whether they agreed with the conclusion that Russia assisted President-elect Trump with his election victorr, which was responded to by Special Agent Strzok.
Three days later, on December 13, 2016, Eric Lipton, Sanger and Shane, with contributions from Kitty Bennett, published the article “The Perfect Weapon: How Russian Cyberpower Invaded the U.S.” in The New York Times. On the same day, Mark Hosenball and Jonathan Lindsay published the article “Exclusive: Top U.S. spy agency has not embraced CIA assessment on Russia hacking — sources” in Reuters, which was about the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
This resulted in Director Clapper, Director Brennan, Director Comey and Director Vincent Stewart all collectively declining to brief the House Intelligence Committee on the issues surrounding their conflicting assessments on the Russian cyber attacks. At the same time, Strzok and Page’s texts allegedly stopped being stored internally, as the initial batch of texts messages end on December 13.
Two days later, on December 15, Strzok and Page texted each other about a sister organisation leaking to the mainstream media. The next day, December 16, Strzok texted Page again, this time to discuss an article in The Washington Post: “FBI in agreement with CIA that Russia aimed to help Trump win White House”, where Strzok argued that the Central Intelligence Agency is more capable of manipulating the press and that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had the initial position, not the Central Intelligence Agency.
Two days later again, on December 18, 2016, Strzok and Page discussed his intelligence submissions to the Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian interference. Strzok expressed concern that the White House would scapegoat the Federal Bureau of Investigation using the classified portion of the report. One day later, on December 19, Page texted Strzok about the number of mainstream media stories where they actively played a personal role in, as Strzok questioned whether he should have done anything differently to prevent the rise of Donald Trump.
On January 5, 2017, Director Comey, Director Brennan, Director Michael Rogers and Director Clapper briefed President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on the Intelligence Community Assessment and a 2-page synopsis of the Steele dossier. But we’ll talk more about this later.
On January 18, 2017, Peter Stone and Greg Gordon published the article “FBI, 5 other agencies probe possible covert Kremlin aid to Trump” in McClatchy.
On January 21, 2017, Zeeshan Aleem published the article “6 different agencies have come together to investigate Trump’s possible Russia ties” in Vox.
On January 22, 2017, Carol E. Lee, Devlin Barrett and Shane Harris published the article “U.S. Eyes Michael Flynn’s Links to Russia” in The Wall Street Journal.
On June 9, 2017, Special Agent Strzok received an agency coin with the signature of Director Brennan. Agency coins are handed out to “exceptional employees” recognised by the Agency.
On September 20, 2017, John Brennan created his Twitter account.
And he’s been tweeting threats towards President Trump ever since, to the point that his national security clearance was revoked.
Talk about sensory/ information overload! Thanks, Sundance!
I need a beverage after all that. Awesome work, Sundance.
Sundance didn’t write that. The War Economy did. There’s a link to it up above
Seneca the Elder:
I hope, by now, that people are beginning to see the big picture, and to accept that our home-grown- communist intel agencies were involved in a highly intricate plot that included, as co-conspirators, the Russian government, and Wikileaks itself.
I’m really quite tired of the almost snow-flake-like naivety of those that think Wikileaks was some humanitarian benefactor, or that Edward Snowden, with the gobs of highly sensitive information that he trafficked in, was as well.
Many think they understand the machinations of the Obama/Putin axis, but it’s clear they don’t (Operation ‘Get Trump was to keep everybody far off the scent!). Assange and Snowden were obviously facilitated by communist. deep state, Obama-approved agents to release highly, highly sensitive information to our enemies, just as Hillary Clinton did at a frenetic pace.
The point of it all was to nail Trump, of course, but they had to weave an elaborate yarn, full of apparent legitimacy, which, per Sundance’s reporting, was indeed elaborate, and looked as legitimate as hell!
So what about Seth Rich? Didn’t he take DNC files and send them off to Wikileaks? I don’t believe so. I believe he lost his life, not because he sent DNC files to Wikileaks ( Wikileaks does its own hacking, thank you very much!) but because, to hide the Obama/Wikileaks/Snowden fingerprints, Rich was murdered to perpetuate the myth that he was murdered because he had stolen the files. It clearly worked, as many on the net have followed leads right into the rabbit hole these conspirators hoped they would, and, have even, quite incredibly, fantasized about freeing or pardoning Obama’s criminal hackers that played so devious a role in Obama’s underworld of unforgivable treachery!
“If in fact what the Russians were alleging, that Hillary was trying to highlight the reported connections between Trump and the Russians — and that’s a big ‘if’ — there is nothing at all illegal about that.”–John Brennan on CNN
And this is how fast Hillary’s “PLAN” and “PROPOSAL” to vilify Trump
becomes
Hillary ASSISTING the Intelligence Agencies in protecting democracy.
donald- thanks for a brilliant post! I hope this gets seen by a lot of readers.

Yep. I just read that on RedState Watcher.
Came here right after.
Finally Trump played one of his trump cards.
Timing is everything.
Right ?
Let’s hope.
Timing is vital.
Apropos to the topic, Dreamboat. Now, off topic: I was either a little too young or was in the wrong geography for AM radio to play James Brown. It was only when I bought In Yo Face: The History of Funk Vols 1-5 that I got to know Mr. Brown better. This song wasn’t on it, but man, oh man, there was some genius in this song. Thanks for the post. Grinnin’ ear to ear (and praying for PDJT to be protected and deal some payback tomorrow.)
Like pretty much everyone here, I too was disappointed when PDJT chose not to do a big declass before the 2018 election, though, as always, I trusted his decision based on what he knew at the time.
Afterwards it slowly became clear how big of a deep state hit that was – and there was no way he could have known.
There were also pretty much endless calls for declass at every point during the last two years by understandably frustrated supporters.
In November of 2018 it seemed a very long time to wait until October of 2020.
But this man plans far in advance. I think we are now seeing it.
At last.

It gets more interesting from here on into the election
It’s just a matter of time till we know the complete and accurate truth.
Being that Hillaryskank had allegations of dealing with Russia herself which we all knew, this was the typical Clinton MO reversing the blame for their own corruption.
Looking forward to seeing them all in cuffs and shackles.
Interesting that Barr couldn’t stop Trump from this data dump this time around…Like last time when “it could / might interfere with ongoing investigations…” &…”wouldn’t look good…” (paraphrasing there…)
One has to conclude that nothing released impacts or conflicts Durham’s “on going investigations”? Right? Or the “ongoing investigations” are concluded & nothing released countermands those findings? Right?
Maybe Barr has finally lost control of Trump….OR maybe Trump has finally seen the futility of placing so much trust in Barr & always coming out lesser for his efforts? I go with the latter personally & am happy to see POTUS taking positive action on these issues finally.
Time (& perhaps some indictments) will tell. Ball is most definitely in Barr’s court. Regardless of his heft, he should be able to move it a bit more than a couple of dribbles. I wait with baited breath……
Bagpipes and associates are permanent members of the tic tic club.
Patience and Courtesy went out the window with last weeks blatant attempt to kill the President, The First Lady, their family, their inner circle and Republican members of Congress.
Long past the time to round the traitors all up and ship to Gitmo for trial.
Wow, patriot you REALLY believe that was an assasination attempt? How did they do it?
I want to believe it too.
Cui Bono.
Ockham’s Razor.
October.
All those reasons.
However, proving it would be another story. I hope this particular detective story takes shape after the election madness subsides and PDJT’s second term begins.
Every day I feel more convinced as more and more Trump closest are labeled as positive for Covid.
Barr is the Fixer ……….. Trump finally realizes it.
Barr will be gone the day after the election.
Maybe Durhams efforts are in line with those of Huber! Authority to investigate has been constantly moving around with no investigative actions being taken. Leaving the American public right where we started and the coup plotters the ability to continue to craft their story .
We been her before and they were not released. I hope they do get released this time. Watch the house move to impeach again sources and methods.
I wish he had waited until all in hand or being released before telling what he intends to do. Things get dangerous here. I guess he knows what’s on the line.
What – their sources of lies and methods of fabricating false narratives?
That’s precisely and only what the Coup collusionists are desperate to conceal.
Barr not doing his job
Maybe his “Yob” is doing nothing….
Obstructing.
Isn’t Barr fighting wuflu???
I thought he was the only one in the President’s circle who didn’t get it during this latest suspicious outbreak.
(But admit I have not kept up…)
I just finished reading PDJTs tweets.
Wowza!!
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are going to be electric.
My goodness…
God bless PDJT
Dekester ,
Absolutely ! President Trump is Going THERE !
YIPPEE ! ?
Thank you Jesus. Praying for the President his family and his administration. Treepers please join me and many around the world that believe in prayer and continually are praying.God Bless PDJT.
Deep State plays stupid games wins stupid prizes.
The level I’m waiting for is when the timeline gets back to the Phoenix Airport meeting with Bill and Loretta Lynch.. . . 6/26/16 I think…
I think the timing for that will definitely be next year, not this month.
And our dear President Trump has tweeted to release it *all* with no redactions! Finally!!
Few mainstream media sources will cover any of it, sadly, but the interest in Hunter Biden after the Senator Johnson’s report gives me hope that some information will make it to enough voters.
We desperately need Donald Trump as our next president. We need to make it happen to save our republic.

YES!
Take that Barr Wray Haspel and the rest. Your coverup is DONE.
Oh, no. The coverup isn’t done. But. The Stakes for covering up just became exponentially higher. Grab some popcorn. The next few days will be captivating.
“The next few days will be captivating”
It is interesting to me that since Wednesday of last week we have seen
Hope Hicks & Chris Christie disappear off the radar.
We’ve seen Melania quarantined and suddenly off the radar
We saw the President’s Press Office declare that they were quarantining and shutting down the Press office for 10 days.
Today we see that the Department of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff have tested positive and are all quarantined and unavailable to the press
Today we see President Trump disconnect from Congress and he orders staff to stop negotiations due to ‘bad faith’ by the Democrats.
Today the White House has gone dark. It is not available to the media, it is not available to the Military and it is not available to Congress. Less than 30 days before a Presidential election and the White House has gone dark but I predict that the next few days are gonna be “lit”. :0)
Stephen Miller and Kaylee are China virus positive
So sad Kayleigh has an 8 month old daughter to take care of, but so far she says she is feeling fine. Stephen Miller’s wife had Covid a few months ago. Now he has it. They are newlyweds, maybe last summer?
Yes. Their marriage has been tested from the beginning.
True ‘dat! I have a niece whose mother and sister both died of breast CA and still this niece won’t even get the test to see if she has the gene, let alone get a double mastectomy. That takes true grit!
[cue “Les Preludes” by Franz Lizst]
Lit AF. Hold onto something firm. @ss is gonna get flayed. I hope.
LOL…IKR, I’m ready so ready for ignition…
Bastards all of them. As my mom in heaven would say, nek se mole Bogu sada, meaning let them pray to God now, too late. You reap what you sow. God Bless PDJT.
Can you throw in the Weiner Laptop, and Awan scandal as well?????
Without MSM covering it, how will voters know the tree fell in the forest?
How about through our strong and growing alternative right media, which is flourishing while theirs tanks dur to their unrelenting propaganda and lies.
We are part of it right here and our job is to spread the word as well. And work for the election. And donate. And persuade.
You’re right, of course.
I think we all know the answer to that one….NO!
On top of all that Trump just tweeted he is releasing all Russia and Clinton email scandal unredacted. All of it. HOLY MOLY never thought we would see it.
I’d also like to see ALL JFK info and his “assassination” notes. Evil will exist as long as all info is NOT released — Release the Kranken — it’s time
Yes, time to take off blinders when it comes to the CIA.
The CIA destroyed that decades ago.
The Warren Commission sealed parts of their investigation in 1964. That ran out in 2014. There was nothing left in there that needed to be sealed. The CIA lies to you. You cannot ever trust them. In Gary Powell’s book on flying U2s, he told how they were actually flying for the CIA and they were told there was a 30-second delay on the self destruct button. None of the pilots believed there was a timer so none of them ever used it.
Gary Powers?
Gary Powers was the U2 pilot who was shot down over Russia in 1960. This stands out as the first time a US President looked me in the eye through a TV screen and lied to me. President Eisenhower told the nation that no US plane had been shot down.
It’s finally going to be a HAPPY HALLOWEEN after all !!!! [cue creepy, but mostly happy, ghostly organ refrain….]
This just in:

Can someone tweet him back……
So what happens when the CIA, DOJ and FBI refuse to turn over these documents?
And do you think the public will see them before Jan 20, 2021?
People will start getting FIRED until someone delivers them and/or the US Marshals will get them.
Fired… like out of cannons
A few home built Trebuchets would do the trick. (if cannons are not available)
“fetchez la vache”
LafnH20,
A person that thinks outside the box. Trebuchets maybe very old school, but there is a certain elegance with them. Only problem would be That the knowledge and craftsmanship is very rare today.
Hillary lurks here 🙂
Even if they are ordered to turn them over they very likely would not. Simply “authorized” guarantees no turn over.
Wray, Barr and Haspel file an ’emergency motion’ with “judge” sullivan. to protect ‘sources, methods and lies”
Sullivan immediately finds PDJT and Pence guilty without trial, appoints pelosi president-for-life, blocks the November election, and sentences PDJT, Pence and Flynn to 100 years in solitary while wearing china virus masks….
Wow that’s quite a fever nightmare! ???
Straight out of Pelousy’s head…
Supposedly Gina Haspel is the holder of all the treasure and she is committed to running out the clock be3cause she doesn’t want to lose her job until after the election. She believes she and Barr will not survive the fall-out. I hope someone was assigned to watch that she doesn’t make the goods disappear before tomorrow.
Trump:
You gave me covid.
I give you your ass.
But Sundance had responded thusly:
Authorized means documents “may” be released.
Ordered means documents “shall” be released.
The Interim period reveals who requires permission and who requires Orders, and who needs to be relieved of all duties pending promotion to other responsibilities pending immediate retirement. Fishing, with REAL bait. 🙂
Order it. Any hesitation then off with their heads.
Not yet. Wait to see who acts, who lies, who flinches, who covers up, who runs.
Then. Off with their heads.
https://twitter.com/SidneyPowell1/status/1313684150218633216
He will Order it. Friday.
Got to give the worms a little time to show their colors and shit their pants.
Judgement is coming, and that, right soon.
Nothing like a nice piece of Hickory.
“There’s a significant difference between “authorized” and “ordered”. “
No more so than the difference between sink and swim.
Even if he ordered it, the deep state bureaucracy likely would not do it and authorized is just a suggestion (to be ignored) to them.
I read that as Ratcliff, who actually has the documents, but has to get them redacted by their own agencies, no longer needs to do that. We should start getting unredacted documents as early as tomorrow and I hope Ratcliff has a good bodyguard.
I hope he doesn’t forget about all of those “library documents” in storage that are waiting for the Obama Library to be built – what is the holdup on that?
Sounds like a shovel ready job to me 🙂
Someone tell that to President Trump.
Linda K.: I have a gut feeling POTUS knows the difference between “authorize” and “order”.
I think every day he will have Ratcliffe keep putting out a thousand cuts. Barr is authorized to expose everything unredacted, but it is clear he is not going to do anything. Having Ratcliffe keep pumping out these documents 1) exposes the corruption of the FBI/DOJ/Hillary, etc. and will make for some interesting debate topics over the next three weeks; and 2) exposes Barr/Durham for the Sessions/Huberesque fakes that they are (or they aren’t if they get off the pot and do something). His “authorized” tweet is calling out Barr/Durham to do their jobs, or else he will.
I didn’t catch that.
Even the Republican-controlled Senate Select Committee on Intelligence says the FBI was right and the Trump campaign was sending data to an active Russian intel operative.
The above was a tweet responding to Trump’s tweet. I swear the Russia Russia narrative is never going to disappear.
safvetblog,
Is it just me or does anyone else wonder why twitter uses Zulu[Military] time? It’s 10:52pm EST on 06OCT and the tweet you posted is dated 07OCT. Asking for a friend.
You’re old arent you. I’m 50 and nobody but myself refers to it as zulu time and that I got from my dad serving during Korea. He was part of the Honor Guard at Arlington.
Anyways, Zulu, GMT, UTC, greenwich all refer to the same thing. The Prime Meridian.
Since so much of tech is scattered around the globe, my team consists of people from Mass, to Tx to Ut, to Japan, to Ireland to Cairo. Trying to keep time zones straight is crazy. So you post the UTC time and every figures out their own time instead. For Datacenters across the globe, unifying on UTC for time stamps just makes it easier.
I’m at the doorway to 60. I think you may have missed my point. I’m familiar with time, was born on AFB. I’ll leave it at that.
no, I tried to explain. In the Tech industry, its pretty common to date stamp in UTC(zulu).
I figured you had to be, because even my sis and husband didnt know zulu time when I used it visiting them and she didnt know what I was referring to. (She’s 30 year career army). Her husband did, but then, he has a PHD in US military history..sooooo..
All good. No worries.
Let the games begin. No holds barred.
No matter how much is revealed, nothing ever happens.
Recognizing this is called the First Rule of Pattern Recognition.
Your presumption is not warranted at this juncture.
The history of humanity is chalked full of dead and mutilated traitors. How does this fit into your pattern?
President Trump just sealed his re-election victory.
This doesn’t seem like POTUS to me at all. It almost appears desperate like he realizes Barr was just stringing him along and/or his internal polling is not good. I pray neither is the case.
Win or lose he wants it all out now. Wray has been covering it all up. If he refuses, he’s fired. Barr has been stringing him along. Doesn’t seem like POTUS? Could be the steroids he’s on for COVID kicking him up a bit…as if he needed it. Internal polls are strong from what I have heard .
Did VSG/ESG PDJT…..said he feel better than 20yrs ago ?? kick them where it hurt Mr.President !!!!
I disagree with Barr stringing him along. I think that Barr/Durham has finished their need for these documents and thus they can be released to the public. Thus the case is wrapping up. Barr can now relinquish the responsibility to release the documents to the public as he does not want to have any taint to his cases.
Now Radcliffe can start the drip, drip, drip release of information ala Breitbart and Project Veritas. Release a little and have a reaction. Then release another more damning document thus slowly raising the temperature like a frog (media) in a pot. Each release more damaging than the prior until there is a conclusion where it is shown that Biden was directly in the loop of the progress of the collusion plot. Not that he would remember.
On a second track the Hillary emails showing the manifest corruption that is the Obama administration. Remember TRILLIONS are at stake.
Finally if possible, show the collusion of the SSCI involvement with Warner in the middle of it. That could have an impact on Warner’s re-election bid. Trump wants a congress that can pass his agenda in the second term. Hence he needs to win back the house and add to the Senate. Rubio can be ditched and replaced with a stronger person,
Revenge is best served cold. Trump is playing three dimensional chess while the Democrats and Media are playing tiddily winks. We must now work to make that happen.
So set your face to stone, gird your loins and work with cold anger.
I’d commented earlier regardless of polls I thought PDJT had the lead and would in fact win his re-election.
If we could take back the house while keeping the Senate; and w/ President Trump not worrying about coming back { they don’t make three term presidents } … my goodness, take no prisoners!
“We?” As in, We the people? Or you and the Republican Party, that flat out resigned and handed the House to the Democrats who then impeached our President?
Barr / Durham are impotent apparatchiks. Current documents released resemble a black painted theater wall. A constitutional republic does not permit the CIA, FBI, and DoJ to refuse the the POTUS and we the people to review their work.
Time has arrived to send armed executive LEOs to demand the documents in question at the buildings where the documents can be accessed.
2022 . VSG finally proposes to the American citizenry that they, the people, should replace most of the Republican congress in the primaries and vote against every Democrat candidate in the general election.
By then, people will be ready.
To many of us are very impatient and jumping the gun when it comes to the President and Bagpipes. This President would not sit in silence for all this time without knowing exactly what bagpipes is doing and when the pin will be pulled.
Sounds like a true reset button to me….let’s hope this one works and was not made in CHINA!
Or he realizes his and the first ladies encounter with COVID-19 was no accident.
If not now, when? No guarantee he will win re election and Biden sure as he** isn’t going to out this stuff.
Not really. In communists states the propagandists can just remain silent or say this scandal doesn’t exist. Just like Moocholini saying there is no violence associated with BLM.
And while the extreme left is apparently running things over there we are not yet a communist state.
We have enough center and center right to get the word out. It will be harder and requires a lot more energy but we can get it done.
On 11 PM Shanon Breme, the left just said that nobody is interested on old 2016 election news because they are already voting against Trump admin because of his failed COVID and economy. As for all the middle to right, we wanted all this exposed over 2 years ago.
So what does that mean and who is “we”?
Because PDJT saved all of this for perfect timing just before the 2020 election instead of doing it 2 years ago, you’re what – not going to vote for him?
??????
We = the middle to right supporters of President Trump.
What is this?
The empire strikes back?
CNN “pool outlet” ? Nice.
so here is the thing…..
Pool outlets as I understand it, have to take unedited raw footage and release it to everyone else free of charge. This rotated between media outlets, so they dont have a room full of cameras.
So this could be a set up for CNN to have to record the whole thing while they lay out the whole case and, this is just me being wishful….implicating CNN directly in the process and CNN having to record it and then release it to everyone else.
Yes you are being wishful.
But I like your thinking.
The left thinks there has been a bounty put on our soldiers heads. The press keeps asking about it, Trump keeps saying it is unverified, intel, but the Left believes they know it all and they have no end of disdain for Trumps lack of expertise in foreign Policy,
Hopefully it’s not about Trump releasing the documents
Great time to round them all up for Gitmo
Staying at GITMO during a hurricane at least would scare the crap out of the AQ folks down there. (Of course, the AQ mastermind jihadis still have not had their trials start thanks to woke defense counsels backed by Holder et al. 19 years after 9/11…. no justice)
If real is this the meeting of the mutiny folks?
And aren’t all the military leaders out sick?
Very interesting timing and of course no Barr in this meeting.
My bet is they are going to sound off on the dangers of PT exposing sources and methods via this release and order.
Of course we know the sources and methods is just their excuse to keep the public away from seeing the truth.
Looks like a power struggle could be underway.
The power struggle you allude to does everything to reveal who is swamp and who is doing their jobs. Authorization is a means to draw out the nasties. If Trump needs to Order release of documents, He Will. Those pushing back just lost their jobs. Wait for it. Lots of resignations coming.
Lost their jobs and I hope earned a very hot, dark and dank cell some where.
Sources and methods… of those who attempted a coup? – you’re damn right it gets exposed.
They will probably say something like this could jeopardize their active investigations into white supremacists or something ?
Why would anyone wish to hide (redact) the sources and methods used to facilitate a COUP on a Sitting U.S. President.
?
Demers ?
Could not find anything on justice.gov site.
Joint Chiefs in quarantine?
I agree with Bogeyfree. Something strange about this.
It appears Wray is attempting a coup against Barr. Good luck with that. (not really)
Covering up FBI crimes is national security to Wray.
What is the sob Wray going to say? That defeating Donald Trump is a matter of national security?
“Damage” control?
Here’s another version:

https://twitter.com/SVNewsAlerts/status/1313650479268851712?s=20
Interesting
Very telling that CNN is the pool outlet. We now know who their masters are.
I would immediately fire them all and replace with acting replacements
Hmmmm.
https://twitter.com/larryschweikart/status/1313660985794678784?s=21
Our govt doesn’t move that fast.
They are simply going to ramble on about “foreign” interference in the election. There will be no mention of voter fraud here at home.
Quite possibly. Since none of them have been prosecuted – BARR – they are free to concoct yet another bogus allegation in furtherance of their coup. I would not be surprised if it’s Russia Part 2 and we must delay the election or some other nonsense they gin up.
A vital press conference on National Security is legally under the control of the NATIONAL COMMAND AUTHORITY who controls national security, which is POTUS, then the chain of command per the Constitution. Not the FBI. Not the CIA. POTUS controls the NCA. If this “vital” national security brief has not been briefed to the White House prior to the conference tomorrow, then, “Katy, Bar the Door!”
Went to justice.gov and could not find anything yet.
justice.gov/live. currently says DOJ is currently off air
This was posted a little over an hour before POTUS’ tweet. How could they have known he was about to authorize declass?
Nothing about it scheduled on the DOJ Website
There have been quite a few times many here thought a public event just after a MOAB like the President’s tweetstorm was going to be about the MOAB.
But I agree with those who point out that the deep state does not invite sunlight like that. Time after time, the second such event has always proved to be a nothingburger or distraction or both.
Deep state hates sunlight. They have nothing left but CYA now and it’s not C’ing their expansive A’s very well any more!
Trump must be feeling better.
Sorry for the moderation. You changed your username, and WP didn’t recognize you. 🙁
Looking at the dramatis personae, I’m guessing that it’s the start of a major a$$ covering op…
Trump just flicked on the light switch. Everyone running from the light will be looking for a job, and that, right soon. Watch for resignations, lawyering up, and other fun things.
I think PT just flicked the ZIPPO!
WSB…remember when WSG/ESG said he feel better than 20yrs ago…so real hard kicking can start !!!!
Indeed!
A YUUUGE ZIPPO ?
!!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s your answer about Barr/ Durham
I read this and when I saw “Act!!!” I immediately thought this was directed at AG Barr.
I too believe it is directed at Bagpipes Barr.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313642403044167680?s=20
Perfidious Albion no doubt
Yeah.
Not to put a point on it. /s
Have you figured it out Barr?
So, if PT is releasing it all does it confirm that finally PT realizes no indictments are ior ever were going to come from Barr and Durham?
That’s my take
I will be forever sad if this s true but at this stage the only people I trust are PDJT, Sundance and posters like Bogeyfree. God speed to all honesty brokers at this stage! Praying harder than ever ever – and I lost a daughter to cancer. Never thought I’d pray harder but tonight I am!!!
God bless you, sorry for such a profound loss.
lotbusyexec.Boze Sveti olaksaj mu srce. My sincere condolences on the loss of your daughter. I said a prayer for you in serbian. May our Lord comfort you, your heart. God Bless you and your family. I join you in prayer, along with many loving Treepers for PDJT.
It means the lights are on and everyone involved just got a wake up call.
This isn’t the end. It is the beginning of the end. A whole lot of sphincters just tightened up enough to make diamonds from raw coal.
Obama was undoubtedly involved but I seriously doubt if he has a functioning sphincter.
No argument with that. Perhaps he fears infinite stretching exercises? Whole lot of people in SuperMax.
Prolly couldn’t keep a bowling ball in…..
?
Prolly
I see what you did there 🙂
When Ozero passes gas it sounds like a (sigh). LOL
Sorry but there is no one to prosecute and no judge not corrupt to hold a trial. It’s corrupt top to bottom.
Details, details.
It ain’t over till its over. Yogi Berra.
POTUS always gives people the opportunity to do the right thing or make a deal even if they have been his enemy, even Nancy Pelosi. The same courtesy was extended to Barr and Durham.
I think something big is happening. I think PDJT was “told” by AG Barr he is going to “decline to prosecute” and the big meeting tomorrow is to “justify” not releasing unredacted documents due to National Security. AG Barr will resign with the week.
I hope I am wrong but I’ve got a gut feeling steer feces is about to hit some spinning blades and it is aimed at PDJT.
It is an oscillating fan. Get close to your friends.
Re: “declass/unredacted” Trump Tweet…
INCOMING:
(? Maybe those steroids finally made him hangry enough to do it! ?)
It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “He’s like Trump on steroids!”
Mark Steyn was in for Rush today, and he said, “Trump IS a STEROID!”
LOL!
Hahaha perfect.
He sure came back from Walter Reed armed and dangerous! It’s shaping up to be yet another E-ticket week.
Trump knows it was a “hit job”
Except President Trump isn’t going to blow himself up on this one.
Please forgive me for being ignorant, but I have been hearing about the steroids most of the day, even a short cut of cnn a bozo said the president was acting manic due to the steroids. I have had epidural steroid injection 3 times in my lower lumbar, it did help a bit with the inflammation, the pain, however in the end I had to endure another back surgery. I don’t get their idiotic explanation due to steroids. I may be totally off. I have never had any trust or respect for Barr from the start. I recall your president saying, he (Barr) could be known for being the greatest AG, or just another AG. That was a telling for me as well. Barr complaining that the tweeting makes his job harder, what a veliko govno. God Bless PDJT.
A great majority of the public has taken steroids in some form or other for some ailment during their lives, and knows perfectly well they personally never experienced mania. Only long term steroid abuse may cause mania. It’s common (and common sense) knowledge.
It’s yet another moment for the public to look cross-eyed at the teevee and wonder “why are they lying to us again? Everybody knows better than that.” The three people that are still watching CNN, that is…
President Trump Retweet
State secrets like our institutions are totally corrupt ?
“State Secrets” like the whole thing was a HOAX
State secrets like the Brits, italians and australians were in on it?
That’s more of a State open secret.
Uh oh.

Some Treeper opined that all the classified docs were being hidden by Haspel. That Treeper was correct:
https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/05/intel-sources-cia-director-gina-haspel-banking-on-trump-loss-to-keep-russiagate-documents-hidden/
As I recall, Pompeo vouched for Haspel. I’ve never trusted Pompeo. He was a dyed in the wool neocon prior to President Trump’s election.
Pompeo’s been pretty clean in terms of never publicly disputing the Presidents goals or directives, but the fact that Haspel has been allowed to obstruct the investigation without any pressure from him is disquieting.
Your Spidey Sense is correct!
Wow…President Trump has just pushed the throttle to max. This is a massive nuke launch, if it doesn’t get derailed somehow. Concerned about the “National Security” press briefing announced for tomorrow by the tribal elders of FIB. They wouldn’t dare step out and formally demo insubordination would they?
I think our President knows the Covid deal was a weaponized attack. Between that and hearing Haspel was holding up stuff, he’s had enough. Love our Lion!
The Swamp DemonRat Media is blaming everything on the steroids including what happened on the stock market.
That narrative will go exactly nowhere. People know better from their own experience.
what did obama and brennan and the rest do? just adopt hillary’s plan? they just jumped on board a good idea? this almost looks like a brennan CYA. but obama is toast.
I’d like to see Biden directly implicated, but there’s a good chance that Obama, Brennan and Comey considered him too stupid to be let in on it. Maybe they wrote that down somewhere.
PDJT already outed Slo Joe as in the loop and knowing, but who knows what that mind of mush is aware of today. At the debate, he told Hiden Biden that he was the source of the suggestion to use the Logan Act against patriot LtGen Flynn.
gary, my take is that Hillary’s people and Brennan co-wrote the entire farce. And, I will not be at all surprised to find out that Sid Blumenthal was also at or near the epicenter of things. It’s so twisted. Hillary’s quote per Donna Brazille was: “if this gets out, we will ALL hang”
needs to be a one-two punch: unredacted declassifications would be given “teeth” by preceding arrests of several key coup plotters in the wee hours of tomorrow morning. convince your opponents “game on” and, that you have the upper hand. sure way to increase u.s. bureaucratic/agency compliance with the president’s wishes.
Has Lindsay G been on any talking head shows today? Hmmmm
Ms Lindsey…
?
Is hiding under his BED
President has a tweet storm underway. Wow!
I’m guessing Barr just told PT that indictments, if any, would come in spring of 2021 at the earliest.
Sure sounds like the people in that DOJ National Security meeting tomorrow are possibly going to scream to the American public and the press about graymail or the threat of PT revealing state secrets with this massive declass.
Of course we here at CTH this is there normal fear mongering to scare Americans into thinking PT has lost it vs the obvious that the release will show who the actual coup participants have been all along.
I hope PT has called in the US Marshals and maybe even a few thousand patriots because this appears it could get wild.
Pelosi just might be getting her mutiny.
“Sure sounds like the people in that DOJ National Security meeting tomorrow are possibly going to scream to the American public and the press about graymail or the threat of PT revealing state secrets with this massive declass.”
100 to 1, it will be some form of another attempted coup on Trump and the Republic.
The DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE is part of the executive branch, yes? Who they think they are anyway? Maybe Barr is resigning.
Trump says: Hold my Diet Coke
FWIW, recently released Russian film of the Czar bomb.
Tsar is Russian spelling. Czar is English spelling. Same thing. Tsar, also spelled czar, or tzar or csar, is a title used to designate East and South Slavic monarchs or supreme rulers of Eastern Europe, originally the Bulgarian monarchs from 10th century onward, much later a title for two rulers of the Serbian State, and from 1547 the supreme ruler of the Tsardom of Russia and the Russian Empire.
Tsar or Czar is the Russin equivalent of Ceasar. Russia translates to “land of Rus” and the Rus were the Vikings. They used to raid down the Danube and Volga reaching as far as the Middle East on their longboats.
Where blonde Turks had their origins 🙂
It was TWICE it’s estimated yield when detonated. They detonated it 100 miles away from any real housing and it scared the sh** out of them so bad they pared down any future tests and it led to the Global Atmospheric Test Ban on nuclear weapons. It had such blast damage it shattered windows more than 200 miles away from ground zero.
Somebody in their Nuclear Physics department was off by a factor of 2. Guess he spent time in Siberia after that.
CNN’s General ?
Whoa!
Never trust the ahold generals. They are more corrupt and political than anyone. You don’t get the stars if you are not a political suckup.
Someone above opined that PDJT’s actions of the last 24 hours show desperation.
I laughed. As usual. So many RolCons, so little time.
In rebuttal, I submit this (probably Obama) general.
Now THIS is desperation.
Trump is trying to shame Barr into doing something, but Barr has no shame.
Folks IMO this is looking like a straight up mutiny could be underway and the players are now going to publicly pick sides.
I need a double bourbon………………hold the ice.
Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough.
– Mark Twain
Burrrp. Excuse me.
I like Buffalo Trace, Makers and Bullet. And You?
Actually anything that is alcoholic, wet and cold and makes me pee……..
Say, while you’re up …
Could I get about three fingers vodka pls?
Any brand is fine and I’ll watch your chair.
Thx.
I’m fading fast.
Go ahead and charge this round.
I’ll give you my ex’s credit card number.
Ohhh Bullet, my favorite. Everybody asks old folks what they want for Christmas or birthday, I always say Bullett , but it’s too expensive for every day.It’s a holiday treat I will buy myself when Biden is safely defeated!
MelH, When we all meet, one day soon at the First CTH “Family” Reunion, I promise to have a bottle of Bullet just for you! On a side note, I would love to meet all of you 😉
I don’t drink anymore, and didn’t drink bourbon or whiskey when I did, but some of my younger bluegrass and swing dance friends did. Here’s a great swing tune on the theme from my favorite young bluegrass group: Della Mae doing “Bourbon Hound.”
Blessings lotbusyexec! Thank you for your thoughts.
But this is the Dept. of Justice. Where is Barr?
Self quarantine I think as he is not at the virtual meeting tomorrow.
I guess I was right, one system of justice was always just BS.
Ahhh, doesn’t have a laptop for a ZOOM? Could do it right from his home throne.
Self quarantined…
Don’t ya know
Time for mass firings. Should have happened long ago.
PTrump now knows they tried to assinate him. And were gleeful about it.
100 percent….where’s that this is the calm before the storm clip.
Long time reader that never comments … I have grown so much in my understanding of the term “deep state.” I have been blessed to be raised by two true American patriots that embody all America lives for, strives for and represents. It took a long time to believe the writing on the wall regarding the corruption of my beloved country. To be sure, this is not a one sided endeavor. I believe that Paul Ryan is the missing link in how this could have advanced to the level it has. Obviously, every person so meticulously outlined in Sundance’s analysis is as dirty as detailed, I am just so saddened to have been awakened to this reality. At the same time, so thankful that I have in time to attempt to correct it,
MAGA, KAGA, God Blass The U.S.A.
Glad you posted and post more – everyone’s voice is vital and with a name like Yankeedixie2020 you are already a ?
Sundance,
A wonderful piece of work that is truly helpful in understanding the entire picture.
Yet, I am left scratching my head as to who will bring these individuals to justice. Will former CIA employee, Attorney General William P. Barr be the MAN to take down this ring and place pressure on our friends (special relationship) in SIS to end this horrible mess? Will he ensure prison time is coming on both sides of the pond? Can AG Barr simply take on former Director John J. Brennan? Does he have the stones?
The game appears very rigged again, and no matter how many facts that one can offer, the end result feels very similar to the past. We could use Iran-Contra as an example of the end result regarding an outcome, even if the parameters are very different. Although I do not think there will be Presidential pardons, I also think there may not be prosecutions. Stare Decisis might indicate that some intelligence personnel will remain unharmed, no matter what the evidence is against them.
Certainly, there is a good deal of information here to digest, and all of the data is very useful; however, without a meaningful moment of justice, I (respectfully) am not sure that these events will amount to any change in our world.
Sorry to be so negative, but I am not seeing a positive outcome.
Thank you for all of your hard work; I am appreciative,
Best,
Simple Citizen
Someone will be put in position to DO THE JOB and uphold the LAW! Any humble public servant will do… Rick Grenell …?
Simple citizen, it may not be the outcome we would prefer, but remember President Trump is mortally hurt and will not just declassify all the documents and let it go. His FAMILY would not allow that. Watch! Meantime I’m gonna pray you and I get a bolus of positivity pretty soon, ’cause we’re fed up!
I see both your points, and you have my thanks. More patience is in order on my part, along with a little more optimism.
Best…
Even now, many on the left are hanging on to Russia, Russia narrative, and i think if there were going to be indictments, the “evidence” wouldn’t be released unredacted. To me, Civil War seems inevitable. So optimism is VERY scant but not absent, Cheers to you, Simple Citizen
So here’s the problem I read and read and read this article. Until at some point I began hearing Charlie Brown’s teacher. I then srolled down to read the comments.
This has to be boiled down to understand. It has so many moving parts. I get lost.
Then read it again…and again…again…until you understand it…like everyone else has to do
True dat. Of course, we could read a paragraph, then read the linked material indicated by red type, to source and explain the conclusions. Then read another paragraph…
I remember the gist of much of the material, and I trust Sundance for what I may have missed. One thing – Sundance is a great explainer. If you read what he writes, you can gain understanding of how the parts work inside the machine.
Powell on fox mentioned new bombshell to come on flynn case. Hearing tomorrow…
Also, Bash last day at doj Friday, any chance he will turn on Barr?
The Obama/Biden administration with Comey, Brennan and Clapper had quite a CONSPIRACY to OBSTRUCT JUSTICE in order to protect Hillary Clinton’s email crimes. Why would someone contribute $145 million to the Clinton Foundation?
Time to use RICO.
Unfortunately the DOJ under Barr appears to not have any interest in indicting anyone thus the PT meme tonight where the guy says for the love of God arrest somebody.
I think PT now knows he just may have been snookered all along.
If this causes some Swamp Rats to go unprosecuted, so be it. They are already going unprosecuted.
Better that the People fully know how THEIR government was hijacked by these lowlife political gangsters for their Police State Coup Attempt.
Don’t think I see many PT allies in this meeting.
Get ready for them screaming Graymail on PT and his recklessness by declassifying and exposing sources/methods and state secrets.
I truly see this as a public coup/mutiny.
I hope PT is ready and well protected.
And none of this is good for his re-election.
“I truly see this as a public coup/mutiny.”
Odds are high you are right. It is really hard to believe this is even America anymore.
Now might be a real good time to fully pardon Assange – but only if stealthy plans can be made to whisk him away from British Intelligence before they can Epstein him or turn him over to Haspel’s assassins.
they shouldn’t have given so much notice. 🙂
CNN was trying to fully discredit PT today. They are going to say he is metal and is losing his mind with the treatment he was given. CNN is evil personified. jmo
I meant “mental” not “metal”
look at the names. these c suckers are going after trump and ratcliffe.
I hope DOJ would not throw PTrump under bus or Barr has resigned already. Tomorrow is VP debate.
My guess is they caught some spies, or terrorists, or perhaps taking down the antifa central organizers and money launderers prior to their planned 10/12 event. Or perhaps all of the above.
And just like that……the White House virus news disappears!!

Here’s hoping General Flynn is the key to the flood gate!
OMG…The Deep State POS are in full force now!!!! Boiling hot anger…#WAR!!!!!!
“Watch his moving testimonial.”
I did.
The feces was coming out of the wrong oriface.
This man will be in a Gitmo soon – it WILL happen.
He even went Rachel Madcow’s show to “debut” his ad!! I despise these evil bastards.
Used to work for Hayden at the NSA. Thought he did a good job.
Now, however…he’s just another tool that has terminal TDS.
Sad.
He was spying on us, and he lied about it before Congress. He’s always been on the dark side.
Bought and paid for. They got to his wallet and stuffed it. He wanted to live better than his pension would allow.
“He doesn’t trust his experts…” Sounds like another Vindman neocon who’s mad that the president doesn’t let him and his friends call the shots on foreign policy and get us into wars that fatten their bank accounts…
Embarrassingly pathetic and he calls Rick Grenell an asshole in above tweets . Typical, so movingly dramatic Ad , but a thin skinned prick in private , like so many others
What a disgusting asswipe. Maybe his stroke killed off a lot of his brain.
He forgets to mention Biden/Harris/DNC/Antifa/BLM will implement communism, the ideology that killed 100,000 million people.
As only about 107,000 million humans have ever lived in the last 50,000 years, that would be quite a record. I usually estimate communism’s toll at upwards of 150 million, which is horrific enough, and ranks it second only to mohammedanism as a direct cause of human death.
Who knows the real total? CCP has a tally upwards of 100M alone, Stalin’s total alone for Russia is 20M, and Pol Pot had over 3M in Cambodia. The last estimate I saw for Burma (Myanmar) was over 6M.
Isn’t General Hayden part of the military industrial complex ? He’s obviously worried. These people are everywhere and are truly awful people. I pray that they all get exposed and removed
Makes nice addition to VP Pence’s armory for his debate.
As Sundance so saliently observed a bit earlier…there is a big difference between authorize and order.
That said…previously he had authorized Barr to decide what to declassify. Now….HE has just done it.
Would like to see the document officially doing this, however.
I knew Barr was on the clock when he went on Hannity right before the Clinesmith news. This is right on time for the October surprise. Well played Mr. President. Time to smoke the rats out of their holes!
I think we are going see an effort to finish the coup. They will claim that the President is a National Security threat and that he has to be removed.
Stand ready. Nancy’s visit to DOD is going to be part of this coup.
Mr. President, I hope you have your patriots at the ready.
I think Trump is throwing the “Hail Mary”.
No.
“Hail Mary” is a desperate, high risk gamble when there’s no more downside left.
President Trump doesn’t work that way. He has very likely already “gamed this out.”
Now all we need is a massive, overwhelming President Trump reelection in November. Then we’ll get an AG who will finally go after the treasonous bastards.
Retired Magistrate here: I think that President Trump has been very patient waiting for Barr and others to do their job about letting the public know how corrupt the prior administration was. However, nothing was happening. Then President Trump and First Lady got covid along with members of the White House Staff, Republican congress members and others who attended the Rose Garden ceremony for Amy Barrett.
As others have mentioned, it appears more and more likely that this was a hit job to take out the President and others. President Trump has had enough. The steroids he is taking have nothing to do with it. He has waited almost three years for something to be done. He has suffered through fraudulent hit jobs, lies, impeachment, etc. waiting for something to be done; nothing. I think the President’s internal polls are good; however, he knows that the Democrats will do anything they can to steal this election. So, it is now time to authorize the release; if that doesn’t work then he will order it.
Will people other than the President’s supporters pay attention; I don’t know, especially if the MSM ignore it. Whatever happens, now is the time for the release or the documents may never be released.
> a hit job to take out the President and others
More than assassination, decapitation
The whole spygate, ongoing coup, Clinton email scandal must be exposed before the election so if, God forbid, he loses, at least many details can be revealed before Jan 20, 2021.
It would not surprise me to read that Barr has resigned and if not tonight in the morning before this virtual meeting.
Is the report of many of our military leaders home self quarantine for COVID precautions possibly the ole blue flu ploy?
Too many coincidence happening at once in my book.
Barr was interviewed by who I can’t remember now just a couple weeks ago and they asked him if PT wins will he stay in the cabinet—-he just laughed and never did answer. I took it he is out of there right before or after the election. jmo
The “INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT” (ICA) is now officially NULL & VOID.
At least 4 RUSSIAN ASSETS worked with the CLINTON CAMPAIGN. “DENKO”, NATALIA, OLEG DERIPASKA and KONSTANTIN KILLIMNIK. “RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA”.
Add STEELE, THE MALTESE PROFESSOR, and THE WALRUS as a possibility of being on BOTH the CLINTON and RUSSIAN payrolls…(DOUBLE AGENTS PERHAPS?), and that makes 7 OPERATORS WITH RUSSIAN INTERESTS AND TIES assisting COMRADE CROOKED CANKLESNOV.
But wait…..allow me to throw in a couple of “WILD CARDS”. Two people who worked for “THE PARTY OF REGIONS” in Ukraine, the PRO-PUTIN, PRO-RUSSIA PARTY in 2014. “THE BLACK LEDGER” came from Ukraine. Remember these guys?
Paul “THE MANATEE” Manafort, and his business partner for over a decade, Tony “SEND LAWYERS GUNS AND MONEY” Podesta. Brother of John Podesta. THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN MANAGER. Now, I ask you….rhetorically, when MANATEE gave “KOSTYA” the internal Trump polling data…WHO WOULD BENEFIT THE MOST FROM THAT INFORMATION?
“THE HAG QUEEN”. And that makes 9. Even using “FUZZY MATH”.
DEPLORABLE JEDI. 🙂
I have a lump in my throat. The rats are in the corner and they are striking out. They have no where to go. They must stop the President. This looks like a coup.
I thought Wray worked for Barr where is Barr ?
Me too Margaret. Too much has happened this week… I’m getting a very weird feeling with the whole National Security matter.
The National Security matter should be the attempted assassination attempt of the President of the United States and Republican Senators.
Now I’m flipped out.
So what does PT if the FIB, DOJ and CIA refuse to turn the documents over?
POTUS then fires them and goes to the next in line to take over.
Everyone here seems to be under the impression that POTUS’s hands are essentially tied and he “can’t” do his real job as POTUS without the permission of HIS APPOINTEES!
He is the President of the United States for God’s Sake!
Get a Grip!!
ARMED HMS patrol are dispatched to the buildings where the documents are located. ARMED HMS stay at this location until the documents are produced.
Call me paranoid (and I hope that’s it), but I’m smelling a full throated coup coming tomorrow. Hopefully my nose is out of order.
It’s not whether you’re paranoid. It’s whether you’re paranoid enough.
OCN,
I am confident that PDJT and his team of Patriot’s have long since fully “gamed out” the possible counter-moves that the Deep State conspirator’s would try to execute to save their pathetic and sorry hides with the release of such incriminating information, which they HAD to know was going to happen sooner or later, and as such PDJT is already prepared to meet and soundly defeat them on the next battlefield!
Have faith my friend!!
