We suspected that Kevin Clinesmith was going to get the James Wolfe leniency treatment, not only because the DOJ (Main Justice) wanted to avoid highlighting the severity of his criminal conduct, but rather -more specifically- because that criminal conduct took place under the direction of the Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissman special counsel (June 29, 2017)…. And that is what has happened. It is all corrupt as hell…. all of it.
The judge over the case against former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was is James Boasberg. Not coincidentally Boasberg is also now the presiding judge over the secret FISA court. Judge Boasberg also carried an insitutional preservation motive to downplay the consequences of Kevin Clinesmith altering evidence at the behest of the Robert Mueller special counsel team.
Main Justice is protecting Rod Rosenstein, Sally Yates, Andrew McCabe, James Baker and Dana Boente, all of them knew the Mueller special counsel was corrupt from the outset. Judge James Boasberg is protecting the secret FISA court. It’s all FUBAR !
WASHINGTON – Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was sentenced to 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service Friday after pleading guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
Clinesmith in August pleaded guilty to “one count of making a false statement within both the jurisdiction of the executive branch and judicial branch of the U.S. government, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000.”
U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia James Boasberg on Friday during Clinesmith’s sentencing hearing said Clinesmith had suffered by losing his job and standing in the eye of a media hurricane.
Boasberg gave him 12 months probation, 400 hours of community service, and no fine.
[…] “[He] lost his job, and his government service is what has given his life much of its meaning,” Boasberg said Friday. “He was also earning $150,000 a year and who knows where the earnings go now. He may be disbarred or suspended from the practice of law, you may never be able to work in the national security field again. These are substantial penalties.”
Boasberg added: “What is more, he went from being an obscure career government lawyer to standing in the eye of a media hurricane. He has been threatened, vilified and abused on a nationwide scale.”
[…] “Altering the email has forever changed the course of my life,” Clinesmith said. “I have lost the means to provide for my growing family…lost the ability to give back to my nation… the shame and remorse will stay with me forever.”
[…] Carter Page was also present at the sentencing hearing and told the court his life had been, “severely affected,” by Clinesmith’s actions, saying at certain points during the ordeal he felt like a, “man without a family,” constantly under media scrutiny.
However, notably, Page asked Boasberg to show Mr. Clinesmith leniency. (read more)
1. Remember, the Special Counsel was appointed in May 2017, and from then until April 2019 any matter which had anything to do with Spygate or Trump/Russia, was managed exclusively by the Special Counsel team. [Rosenstein testified to this June 2, 2020]
2. The Carter Page FISA warrant of June 29, 2017, was renewed during the tenure of the Special Counsel. They alone ran the FISA process for the third renewal. Clinesmith did not lie until the Special Counsel stepped-in… The timing speaks volumes.
3. Kevin Clinesmith’s boss at the FBI during the period for FISA assembly was a supervisory special agent and Trisha Beth Anderson was the lawyer responsible to sign-off on the final assembly. [LINK]
4. The Clinesmith criminal indictment (actually an “information”) informs that, while the Special Counsel was running the DOJ, and Andy McCabe was running the FBI, Clinesmith made this request to another government agency “OGA”:
We need some clarification on [Carter Page]. There is an indication that he may be a “[digraph] source.”
5. Why is this “digraph” redacted from the Clinesmith information?
6. Clinesmith continued:
“This [the status of Carter Page] is a fact we would need to disclose in our next FISA renewal…”
7. Why is the sentence following that critical question redacted from the Clinesmith indictment with “….”?
8. Clinesmith continued:
“To that end, can we get two items from you? 1) Source Check/ Is [Carter Page] a source in any capacity? 2 ) If he is, what is a [digraph] source ( or what ever type of source he is) ?”
[LINK]
9. Why again is the critical “digraph” source code redacted out of the Clinesmith indictment?
10. The entire issue is that a supervisory special agent is asking Clinesmith to ask the CIA whether Carter Page is any kind of CIA informant. Why redact out that specific material from the Clinesmith indictment, unless the intent is to conceal that material?
11. Why is the specific 2-digit number “digraph” supposedly secret, and why is the “type of source” omitted form the criminal information? The FISA affiant, SSA, is asking, “what is this kind of ‘source’ is Carter Page? He’s claiming to be a source, so check with the CIA to verify ‘if he is any kind of source.’”
12. Again, despite the redaction of what appears to be critical exchange, the Clinesmith indictment still includes asking for official CIA confirmation about Carter Page, “whatever kind of source he is.”
13. We know from the Clinesmith indictment that (at a minimum) he reported back that Carter Page “was a subsource” for the CIA.
14. So when the DOJ (now run by the Special Counsel) signed the Carter Page FISA renewal [June 29, 2017], we know without question that the FBI Supervisory Special Agent who reported directly to the FBI’s Deputy Director (McCabe) knew that Carter Page was at least a CIA subsource.
15. And we know without question that Clinesmith had been informed by the CIA that the CIA has already informed the DOJ and the FBI about Carter Page’s status, a year earlier, on August 17, 2016.
16. The CIA gave Clinesmith an email with all of that information. [LINK]
17. Without any push-back from the DOJ or FBI, in 2020, in connection with Clinesmith’s guilty plea, he stated that he (Clinesmith) never bothered to read the Carter Page file that the CIA gave to him. [LINK]
18. His boss had asked him specifically to check with the CIA as to the status of Carter Page. The CIA confirmed that Carter Page was some kind of source, and provided the file explaining it all.
19. Clinesmith first reports to his boss that the CIA has confirmed that Carter Page is some kind of a source – a “sub-source,” but we don’t know exactly because the “digraph” code describing what kind of source he was had been concealed out of the indictment.
20. What possible reason is there for the DOJ to redact out that code?
21. When Clinesmith reports to his boss that Carter Page is definitely some kind of CIA source, without question the SSA now knows:
“This [the CIA source status of Carter Page] is a fact we would need to disclose in our next FISA renewal…”
22. Yet a few days later, Clinesmith sends an email to his boss evidencing that Carter Page “was never a source.” Yet the DOJ’s indictment redacts the “digraph” code about this.
And…
23. Isn’t it a logical conclusion that the combination of the following highlight a DOJ whitewash: (i) the redactions of the digraph code from the indictment, “(ii) the DOJ allowing Clinesmith, unchallenged, to assert that he “did not recall ever reviewing the documents referenced in the [CIA’s] email” disclosing Carter Page’s informant status with the CIA.
24. And how could a veteran FBI attorney (Clinesmith), in the space of a few days, twist “A” into “B”?
25. Here is “A” the process the FBI started with:
Getting “clarification on [Carter Page]. There is an indication that he may be a “ [digraph] source… we would need to disclose in our next FISA renewal… To that end….[contact the CIA and find out]: (1) Is [Carter Page] a source in any capacity? and (2) If he is, what is a [digraph] source (or what ever type of source he is)?”
26. What was “B”?
After first telling his boss that Carter Page was a sub-source, Clinesmith changed the official story by then stating that Carter Page “was not a source”, as if there is some distinction between being a CIA-approved “source” versus a CIA-approved “sub-source.”
27. Clinesmith’s boss knew this change of story was a smoking gun of a fix. How do we know that? Two issues:
28. First, the Clinesmith indictment concedes it, although it is buried. SSA asked Clinesmith whether the FBI “had it in writing” from the CIA that Carter Page “was not a source.” That’s not a question in this scenario, that’s an instruction.
29. Clinesmith knew any written claim that Carter Page was not a source would be untrue, because the CIA had informed them specifically that Carter Page was working with the CIA as a [digraph], and that his role was described in the CIA briefing memo to the Crossfire Hurricane team dated August 17, 2016. [LINK]
30. The Crossfire Hurricane team consisted of many senior members of the DOJ and FBI who eventually overlapped into the Special Counsel [They had to know what was going on with this June 29, 2017 renewal]
31. Clinesmith also knew Carter Page was a source for the CIA. He deliberately falsified the CIA email to try and create a CYA position for the use of the FISA application. For this event he has now plead guilty to a felony.
32. What happened during the four days: June 15, 2017 to June 19, 2017, that caused FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith to commit a felony by doctoring an email from the CIA?
33. What happened during the four days June 15 to June 19, 2017, that caused the FBI to pivot from asking about Carter Page’s status with the CIA “in any capacity, and whatever type of source he is” – to later stating something from the CIA they knew was untrue?
34. Trisha Beth Anderson signed-off on the Carter Page FISA application, a title-1 surveillance warrant, under penalty of perjury…. even though we know the application contained materially false information and omissions.
35. Trisha Beth Anderson claims she signed the FISA affidavit(s) because it/they were presented to her in a rather unusual manner. [LINK]
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.
36. Why did she do this? She 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)
37. 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.
38. When she signed-off on the last Carter Page FISA renewal (June 29, 2017) the Special Counsel was now running the DOJ. Andrew McCabe was in position and running the FBI
39. Trish Anderson signed-off the prior Carter Page FISA’s because they were presented to her pre-approved and pre-signed by the FBI and and DOJ leadership.
“The General Counsel [Jim Baker] … personally reviewed and made edits to the FISA, for example,” Anderson said. “The Deputy Director was involved in reviewing the FISA line by line. The Deputy Attorney General over on the DOJ side of the street was similarly involved, as I understood, reviewing the FISA application line by line.”
[…] Anderson stressed that McCabe, Yates, and Baker all played key roles in reviewing the Page FISA. “My approval at that point was really purely administrative in nature. In other words, the substantive issues — the FISA had already substantively been approved by people much higher than me in the chain of command,” Anderson said.
Anderson said it “typically would not have been the case” that people such as McCabe and Yates would sign off on a FISA application before she did.
“That part of it was unusual, and so I didn’t consider my review at that point in the process to be substantive in nature,” Anderson said. “In other words, there were smart lawyers, high-level people on both sides of the street who had reviewed and signed off on the application, the details of the application. And so I was simply signaling, yes, this package is ready to go forward.”
Anderson said the seal of approval from such high-ranking FBI and DOJ officials meant that her signature on the FISA application was mostly perfunctory. (more)
40. General Counsel Jim Baker and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was Anderson’s FBI boss when she signed-off on a false affidavit and assembly. Rod Rosenstein was Deputy Attorney General.
41. Additionally, on June 29, 2017, the special counsel was in control of the DOJ and DOJ-NSD. This third renewal was under their authority.
42. Who told/influenced Kevin Clinesmith to change events and paper the file with a false claim that Carter Page was somehow not a CIA asset?
42. AG Bill Barr knew from December 9, 2019, about Kevin Clinesmith’s felony forgery when OIG Inspector General Michael Horowitz made a criminal referral for the discovery. Why delay the indictment until August 20, 2020?
This thing reeked of another institutional preservation approach. What I suspected, now proven, was that Bill Barr did not want to touch any material that contacted the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel… however, what took place under the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel is actually more corrupt than any activity that preceded it.
What I also strongly suspected was that Bill Barr was using his oft stated “I will not allow the DOJ to be political” as a crutch in his preservation approach. If nothing from the world or sphere of politics is allowed to enter the world or sphere of the DOJ then what is supposed to happen with all those years of congressional evidence gathering? This is exactly what took place.
Keep in mind I made first hand contact with the Durham investigators to confirm their intense alignment with Barr’s directive. We knew from July 2020 that nothing from any embargoed political silo would ever be prosecuted regardless of how it percolated out.
If you read all the material you will see there was clearly no arrangement for Kevin Clinesmith to have provided any other evidence to the DOJ. This was a one-and-done move EXACTLY LIKE former SSCI Security Director James Wolfe. The parallels were very similar.

Evil has consumed the nation. May God have mercy on us.
Do you know anyone in the military or guard? to ask to come home to protect us?
Wish I did. No experience here, will be forced to figure it out.
just have conversations with others about it… the Seed will grow … and some may bring it up to their sons and daughters in the military.
Call your local sheriff, see if he will call for a militia.
I am sure Clinesmith is due a full pardon…
And an anal Covid test.

In old America, prosecutors gave light sentences to get the little fish to sing and turn on the Mob Bosses.
In the New World Orwell-America, prosecutors give light sentences to get the little fish to clam up and protect the Obama/Clinton Crime Syndicate Bosses.
Bill Barr is essentially a Mob Lawyer.
We will pay a price. I think it will be China thumping us in a military confrontation.
hahahaha. we will pay a price. right here. but it will be quick. imho.
I suspect that one of our carriers goes down soon. And what will Bumbles Biden do about it? Send plane loads of cash to Beijing to pay for the missiles that did the deed?
That’s like saying “somebody did something”, it’s not specific enough. The Insane Left Democrats under Obama consumed every avenue of law and order in the nation.
Reading through this Sundance post, riveting in its determination to nail down every last smidgen (!) of treason and lawlessness, and the universality of it in Obama’s Washington (and since), underscores my understanding of it as a criminal, organized Mob, not a political class at all. Sundance is writing, and we are all reading, about a Mob war against the rule of law, perpetrated by EVERYONE at the highest levels of government.
And that includes Carter Page: “However, notably, Page asked Boasberg to show Mr. Clinesmith leniency.”
That act alone indicts Page, in my book. He is a CIA shill, and an Intelligence idiot, like all of the Intelligence community today.
The goofy Carter Page never reacted the way a normal human would have, in response to their personal life being hacked. The guy is a spook, and a bad one at that.
With every Carter Page interview I ended feeling somehow both unsettled and less informed. I keep wondering…
We are artificially held together as one Nation just as Yugoslavia, and the USSR were. We are under pressure like a gyroscope navigation instrument on an aircraft. Under enough pressure we are going to fracture and fly apart. It is the law of Nature States.
I was watching enough tv one week a few months ago to say, “if someone who had never heard of the United States were to visit and view a few days of American tv, he’d conclude that black Americans were the most populous racial group and that they were the most affluent, friendly, successful, talented, happy people in the country.
And that at least 30 percent of the population was LGBT whatever. Which doesn’t even make sense to maintain birth rates.
All I can say is I hope Kevin and this wanker judge check their six when they are out and about in DC.
I seriously doubt that. As DC is nearly 100% Democrats, the more likely scenario is that they’ll never have to buy drinks again. Once KC finishes his community service, he’ll land an insider book deal so that we can “hear the real story” or something like that.
You don’t really believe he’s going to perform any community service, do you? It’s going to be like one of those no-show jobs football and basketball players get at D-1 schools. He will show up the first day so it can be documented and from then on, somebody will check off he was there. Instead, he’ll be off sailing, playing squash or some other preppy nonsense. The greatest thing that ever happened to Kevin Clinesmith is that he no longer has to show up for a $150,000 job, so he has plenty of time to show up for his new $500,000 job.
Hmmmm… Community service:
Shredding of documents
Creation & distribution of propaganda
Creation of non-existing social ills
Door-to-door “legitimaztion” of non-citizens
Screening all media to squelch any diversity of opinion
Deliveryboy for blackmail & bribery $
What else? Certainly not taking out political trash.
Also based on their representation on TV (especially commercials), they’re almost 50% of the population.
We have no shared religion, history, culture, ethnicity. We share nothing – we will stay together via a authoritarian central government only. We are heading to civil war – it would be nice if we could just peacefully break into smaller countries.
The Coming Revolt Of The Middle Class

Or The Wild West repeated. The taming of a lawless country…
Time to go after judges.
How can we do that?
The last thing a judge anywhere wants is to be in the news, be under the microscope.
Wish there were a way to highlight the corruption of judges in the public way the reddit traders have highlighted the thievery of market manipulators.
I like the way you think. We should start doxing them. Harassing the family will send a strong message.
I understand there’s actually a bi-partisan bill under consideration that will make it harder to do exactly that to federal judges.
Penner, if you’re attracted to that sort of stupidity, you’d better get a life!
Right back at ya, Donnie.
MAGA supporters do not ‘go after judges’ or harass other human beings. They believe in our system of government. If something is wrong currently with our governance, it’s the people that have hijacked it. Not the government itself.
BLM/ANTIFA are radicals who seek to destroy. We seek to preserve, and to improve our world through honest governance. Since when do people here make such asinine comments as threats against other people?
Um … They don’t play by the rules. But we do — and that’s why Donald Trump is in Florida despite having more votes than the guy currently occupying the White House.
Your strategy is for losers.
MAGA.
You abide by the Constitution. They have decided not to, but to hold us to it. And communists control all branches of gov’t and the military.
Look what Trump appointed Judges do! He made SCOTUS as Popes American Headquarters!
This country was established on protestant dialectical principles not didactics of catholicism or communism! Who is gonna do adjudication?
Yes the left do it all the time
You’re on to something, TL. A microscope in the form of a website that compiles these crooked judges’ records in a clear graphical format, such that the average American can begin to comprehend the damage the monsters are doing to our Nation. Perhaps a sideline for TCTH, no?
Very curious that carter page would ask for leniency.
Makes the allegations of page being a tool of the swamp more believable.
I always thought he was in on the whole scam!
Carter Page was the plan – he is a traitor. PERIOD
so is papadopulous…
Not doubting you, but I would like to hear the Sundance take on this.
as curious as the leader of the Proud Boys being a confidential informant for the Feds.
I swear it seems like they don’t want us to trust each other! It may be true but if so, why would they out him? If it’s not true, throwing it out there puts a dent in the proud boys and lessons trust, and instills fear in other members that would wonder who else might also be a plant, what might be twisted to use against them in light of political persecutions that are happening, etc. Just saying, they have a lot to gain by making this false accusation. And if it is true, they’ve lost their ‘insider’. Makes no sense for it to be true, am I missing something?
Divide and Rule
And he became an informant because he and other PBs were involved in some sketchy activity and they got caught. Very interesting that the FBI forbade him from attending the Jan 6 rally in DC.They didn’t want to loose their informant. IMHO the FBI knew what was planned through him and did nothing.
WOW! FBI Misled America – Pipe Bombs Placed at DNC and GOP Headquarters in DC Were Placed There on Jan. 5th — NOT Jan. 6th

It’s not odd at all. Both Carter Page and Proud Boys were the fictional versions of what the radical Left needed most to smear Donald Trump. In the case of the latter, his movement was too real, genuine, and sincere, made up of our finest citizens with no chips on their shoulders other than to hope and pray that America The Beautiful could endure and thrive, and not to debase her or incinerate her, nor to exact a price on our political adversaries through violent radical tactics.
A quick reading of Carter Page’s curriculum vitae at wikipedia showed an enormous amount of education and specialization, but (here’s the kicker!) no actual job, other than vague associations with particular international academic consortiums, or nebulous business interests that never amounted to anything. And another thing, his base of operations seemed to be London, where a hotbed of spies interact within academic circles to discuss topics that are of interest to most countries of the world. Unless Carter is independently wealthy, I think CIA paid his rent.
Concerning Proud Boys, we never needed them, never wanted them, and will never miss them.
They too were the fictionalized version of what MAGA never offered to radical left operatives, no matter how hard they looked: weirdo punks out and about looking to pick a fight. So the leftwing called it in . I’m sure CIA has an in-house Hollywood Production Company whose out of work actors, or laid off wrestlers or boxers will work for a fee. And abracadabra !
Yes, it is long past time everybody understood the ongoing coup d’etat has operated according to a CIA “In-Country Regime-Change Operation (TM)”.
For years they tried to get away with TREASON without being charged and they succeeded. Don’t it make you proud to be an American?
Certainly doesn’t have the honor it once did.
we contact our sons and daughters in the military and guard, and ask them to come home… and save us.
Start a NATIONAL CAMPAIGN to recall our military, and say we need our kids back, we are under attack.
Who they gonna shoot their kinfolk or the nest of vipers now in charge.
They just come on and STAND.
the vipers will tell them to SHOOT US – and it will the only thing to WAKE the entire country up.
Get the idea in their heads – start telling them you need them to COME HOME
Now people know why I coined the phrase, the Just-us system. It’s just us against a corrupted system that never fails to protect demorats/liberals regardless of the crime.
I would have to say the “Just Us” system works for the RINO’s also. Look what McConnell, McCain and Romney have gotten away with. They all have shady deals that make them and their families wealthy at our expense.
“…lost the ability to give back to my nation…” What crap, he helped screw the Country “six ways from Sunday” as Chuck U Schumer would say. There’s only one way all this Swamp/DeepState corruption gets straightened out, otherwise it just becomes more and more entrenched.
I do not have the words to express my disgust at such a statement as this. Well if he “lost his ability to give back to my nation” he has no one to blame but himself. He made the decision to take the action he did – but seriously, these words ring so hollow – they are offensive – rubbing salt in a wound, disingenuous.
He is from the Comey School of Public Moral Posturing.
So they ALL got away with it and only one person got a slap on the hand. Just like always. They are never held accountable, so next time they’ll go further knowing they can get away with anything.
The only way I can see to save a part of the republic is secession. It doesn’t have to mean war this time. It could be more like an amicable divorce.
And then they stole the election in front of our eyes and snickered as they denied our cases standing. They are getting bold or desperate. What will they come after next? H.R.127 seems to have been written to guarantee noncompliance and even violent civil disobedience. That’s all the pretext needed to all but end the 2A.
Theycan’t end the 2nd amendment. The Bill of Rights spells out exactly what the government CANNOT do, does not have the authority to do, it is in addition to what is already in the Constitution. The pols voting away the 2nd amendment does not give them the right to disarm us. If they openly say that they are giving the country to the CCP, and the Constitution is gone, then we either give up arms, or we go down shooting.
Nope. Boot them all out, deport them, Give ’em a pair of water wings and sail them into the sunset.
Surely they do not deserve any part of this country.
Has he been removed from the Bar? Never to practice “law” again?
Probably for a year or two!
He can go to Singapore to hang out with his brother, Tom, also a lawyer. Tom used to run Denver Public Schools for 10 years now runs American school in Singapore since 2019.
I spent last weekend working on my family tree. So many in my Pa family fought in the Civil War and came home to create the Jersey Church and pioneer settlement in Somerset County. The photos, tombstones and stories were amazing, and made me realize how we are so far removed from those brave people who left their families and farms to take a stand for their beliefs. My grandson is an Airman, and to all those in the service to our country I am grateful, but most of the rest of us are slackers and will not happily get off the sofa. I hope that if we are ever called upon, I won’t think twice about answering that call.
What a farce this country’s “judicial system” has become. Nothing but a pathetic joke.
yep.
Do you know anyone in the military or guard? cna you ask them to come home? plant the idea – seed it for later.
I pretty much haven’t known anyone in the military since I was there during the time of the draft.
Me too. And if they will go along, mouths shut, with infesting Washington to protect mass treason, I don’t trust them.
Are we puttin the band back together?
BS. Celts and Danes were here long before. Stop propagating the narrative.
More like poster children for failed immigration policies 🙂
The bad guys have run the tables! They’ve beaten us at every turn. They are all back in power and the entire security apparatus of the United States, including the Military, is aimed directly at us. So what now?
When a government wishes to deprive its citizens of freedom, and reduce them to slavery, it generally makes use of a standing army.
– Luther Martin, Maryland delegate to the Constitutional Convention
A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen. Without standing armies liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe
-James Madison (“The Father of the United States Constitution”)
WRONG
this is EXACTLY what happened in EGYPT.
Do you know anyone currrently in the military or guard? if so ask them to come home and protect you. if they sound shocked IT DOESNT MATTER. get the SEED there for LATER
Maybe the Egyptian Army will save America. Or maybe the Mexican Army. The Mexican Army did have almost 30,000 troops protecting our southern border, while the American Army had about 2,000 at their peak.
And who is the American El SIsi, pray tell?
What now? We continue to stand and speak the truth with conviction and without fear. Yeah the house is crooked and they did in fact run the tables. We are now waking up to a reality that has been in place for many decades. To think that this struggle will be won in even 2 or 3 election cycles may be overly optimistic. Many will fall by the wayside but new people will join a righteous cause. This may take some time but the opposition ain’t that smart just brazen in their miscalculations. They have set their own trap..it’s just a matter of time. Truth will out.
and people wonder why Qanon became (somewhat ) popular.
When people cannot comprehend how corrupt a system actually is, they are comforted by the pablum that, actually, there is a grand plan that will ultimately usher in justice, punish the wicked etc
I hope you do not mind my correction, but I’ve heard he media say the same. “Q” (the he or she or it or they) is what posted the mysterious posts. “Q-anons” were/are people who got a lot of clicks for interpreting what Q himself, herself, itself, or themselves was/were posting.
Is there a Q still posting, btw?
Last drop (post) was 9 December.
LOL.
And so?
So, we know the Land of Mordor is corrupt beyond redemption: where do regular patriots go from here?
No more Hopium, we need definitive answers and a direction for our energies.

Stop buying the swamps favorite Chinese products all 75,000,000 them altogether who voted red! It will a revolution of modern times! Tell kids no Chinese toys for some times! Disclosure I am using ? not buying replacements! Reduce farming to point need for US consumption only!
Put industry red states!
Gandhi did the same!
Make your own stuff!
Both brought down the empire!
Works every time! This time need a bit more creativity I mean scientific!
Wonder what % people would we need to be effective?
One problem we should do something about whether we boycott or not is Gates & Bezos (& who else) buying up so much of our farmland. If we were to attempt largescale boycott, they could just starve us out like the North did the South.
Even without boycott, we need to do something about this. Gates believes in lab-made food (don’t know about others). If he/they can create a shortage, we could be dependent upon his frankenfood.
They’re pricing potential small/real farmers out of the market.
And if this land is no longer farmed, there goes our ability to produce enough to export. Down goes GNP.
Already, as I understand it, 2 of our biggest meat suppliers are offshore.
And we thought being energy dependent was costly. Food dependence is deadly.
But “buy American” always best idea.
I am reminded of the letters to DJT by Archbishop Vigano warning him that these times are biblical, and that the forces of darkness were making their play against him. I feel he is correct, and the justice that is coming will not directly come from within the corrupted existing system.
Unbelievable. Unreal. 2 sets of rules. This is the VERY Judge that was defrauded – knowingly – in an Ex Parte proceeding – wherein the integrity of the affiants, and candor is paramount to the functioning of the secret court. Nunes needs to try to all the plug on on the whole mess – if the FISA judges are not going to police their court – it’s not functioning a designed.
If the election system is not going to result in the actual winners taking office — it’s not functioning as designed.
If the media are not going to report ALL of the news, and report it in an unbiased fashion — it’s not functioning as designed.
If Section 230 protections for Google, Twitter, YouTube and Fakebook are being extended to them even though they are acting as publishers, rather than Internet platforms — it’s not functioning as designed.
If the Constitution allows abject corruption to reign unimpeded over the three branches of government — it’s not functioning as designed.
GWB said it, it’s a “G-D piece of paper”.
?
I’ve never heard that!
Cannot be blaming the Constitution, the people have taken to letting the government run itself. Any mechanism needs negative feedback to keep it running properly.
Boasberg is also the activist federal judge who is trying to shut down The Dakota Access Pipeline as unsafe in the ever continuing environmental lawsuit brought by Lawfare and a local Indian Tribe that allowed protesters to leave a thousand tons of garbage, abandoned cars, dogs and cats and one dead protester along the river that environmentalists claim they are trying to save???
Why rent a lawyer when you can buy a judge?
Meanwhile someone who posted a meme on twitter 5 years ago is arrested by the feds.
Bill Barr sure did a good job of making sure the institutions were protected. Along with the two-tiered system of justice we have that is so blatant Ray Charles can see it.
As our elected representatives who like to harrumph in oversight hearings are strangely silent.
No wonder Comey always had a slight smirk on his face whenever someone might question his actions.
The final nail is in the coffin on the whole coup to take down a sitting President. Any other action than this and Clinesmith may have named names, which may have resulted in an embarrassing look at many things, including the FISA court and the Wolfe treatment.
The same court many RINO’s were in a rush to renew authorization for earlier this summer.
Thanks Mitch!
That thanks can go all the way back to when Obama first weaseled his way into the Oval office.
Republican refusal to do their duty started with being embarrassed by the media to do anything about Clinton. It picked up speed with Obama turning them into mushrooms.
I have commented a couple of times before on this blog.As someone who split the last 20 years between living in the US and now back home home in India, I find all this corruption more than familiar and mind numbing. My last comment on this site was along the lines that there was a lot riding on the reelection of Donald Trump and wishing good luck to American patriots.
I am at a loss of words right now. I am afraid that you are now seeing open corruption being openly whitewashed.This will not end well.
Also it is remarkable how wretched the legal profession is all over the world.. I was reminded of it yesterday when i went to the cops to register a complaint against a recalcitrant tenant who is illegally occupying my property well beyond the last date of the rental agreement after having been given a notice to vacate 7 months ago.I was told that this was not a crime but a civil matter because the Supreme Court of India had ruled that law enforcement could not do anything to enforce the rights of the property owner as long the tenant pays the rent ! Huh ? I said i dont need any damn rent and the house didnt have a tenant for 9 months because i was looking for a decent law abiding person not a scumbag like the tenant that i have right now..of course when you see a family man with two young children working for an internationally well known bank, you dont think he would be such a knave.. but i should have checked his rental history once and i now have to spend time litigating in courts against a tenant who has violated the terms of the agreement repeatedly and has proved to be a general nuisance.
If any one knows how slow the legal system in India is, you would comfort yourself saying that the legal system in the US isnt half that bad..
But when you watch such open lawlessness over such a prolonged period of time against the chief executive of the most powerful country ,all condoned by the Justice Department of the aforementioned country you are left with a distinct sense of AYFKM and a lot more unprintable language.
My contempt for the very idea of “law” as it is being “practiced” right now grows by the day.
Good luck to all those who still follow the law.You need lots and lots of it.
Your work, Sundance, is truly outstanding.
But what is the answer – your work and that of others has helped expose the massive scale – it’s not just the USA, and as bad as it was and is, it’s getting worse. What’s the answer?
We need our own yellow vest movement.
Now, don’t laugh: perhaps rainbow vests would be appropriate, all Americans, regardless of party affiliation, need to unite against CORRUPTION.
In light of this sentence, does anyone have any confidence in Durham to hold anyone accountable?
Durham , who’s he ? , the ghost of a corruption past .
There are media reports about Durham being a “devout Catholic” just like they report Biden and Pelosi. That narrative is used to drive both virtue signaling and complacency.
And any devout Catholic who hears the WORDS and observes the ACTIONS of both Pelosi and Biden would know their “devoutness” is a complete and utter lie. But if all you do is pay attention to what the MARXIST MEDIA tells you about those two, you will apparently believe it.
Durham has always been false hope, another “Bondo” Barr.
Question: Do you and I need to stop obeying the law? Are we aiding and abetting the destruction of our country by allowing courts and judges to decide our fates?
We need to start practicing jury nullification. If the people in government are above the law then everyone who is not a serial killer or some such should be above the law too.
That’s a given. From this point forward, I will be any defendant’s best friend in the jury box.
Same here! Wuhan flu stopped me last year from being on a federal jury.
I have ESP because I knew that whomever the defendant was, the defendant is Not Guilty!
I hope I get called for jury duty again soon

Give the lightest, to no sentence. Then the Democrat won’t implicate the rest of the Democrats
I always thought that Bill and Lindsey were like the evil twins. Give interviews and make big talk. Then do nothing. Or worse, do something but make it subversive and harmful to PDJT and the nation. Called that correctly. Sadly.
I wonder if Mr. Clinesmith is expecting a visit from Karma.
Bill Barr is the official most responsible for the destruction of the United States. I don’t know how he could have been so corrupt and allowed this to happen. His grandchildren are Lilly White Methodists and they have no future no matter how much money he leaves them . He’s an idiot if he doesn’t know that!
Per Wiki Bill father Donald was jewish converted & joined catholic church! So did Bill
My take is very simple since the questionable election of Irish Catholic Kennedy’s election and mayhem that followed in changes of Immigration and other lopsided laws in US, Trump hired too many anti Protestant operators to his own peril! He made America as Pope’s fiddle with Joe in charge! He is talking Liberation Theology language in EOs!
Hope this POS has eyes in the back of his head!

This is a very big issue, it’s clear we have NO stake in our legal system, the media, Finance or academia… We have no leverage in ANY of these areas… Before we worry about 2022 we need to figure out a way to change these issues… Forget CPAC, forget donating money, etc… We need a large organizational meeting, no press and an honest appraisal of where we stand, based on how powerless we really are within the scope of those three areas… What to do, how to regain a footing and how to realistically fight back against an enemy that is ruthless, arrogant and gives no quarter… Also, a recognition of how far behind we are and how difficult it will be to regain footing within these areas… Most important is understanding that they control the hiring apparatus in these areas and use this to maintain COMPLETE control… Winter is here and unless we finally admit where we are and how we’ve gotten here, then we can’t move forward… Clinesmith is nothing, we knew this would happen based on Flynn’s travails. They have NO fear of consequences for anything, so they will do whatever they want…
Disgusting.
“boasberg” and “weismann” – every. single. time.
Carter Page joins for a week w/ the Campaign.
Papadopoulous marrys the assistant to Professor Misfud..
how stupid are we?
everytime we started to blame them as traitors – they would come public and give us hope comey was busted and the arrest are coming.
I. HOPE. HE. IS. PERMANENTLY. DISBARRED.
And why did Carter Page ask for leniency?
Is it because
1. he is afraid of the Biden DOJ and CIA coming down on him like a ton of bricks again?
2.It will help his courtcase?
3.he wants to work with the CIA again
because he facilitated the take down of an elected president.
each country’s intel agencies partnered and are ovethrowing every country.
4.They threatened him-to reveal what otehr dirty work he did, or just plain death threats
I can’t even read this stuff anymore. All it does is depress and anger without resolution.
One of your better headlines, Sundance.
We are 80-100 million strong. They know it.
They are scared shitless…… and should be. We will NOT let our forefather’s blood be shed in vain….
Its no coincidence that not one FISA Court Judge has ever taken action against the FBI operatives that openly LIED to them. Because of course they were COMPLICIT in the SCAM
This is how all Evil Empires eventually collapse the death of a thousand cuts.

DEVELOPING: Repubs raising questions how dirty anti-Trump FBI lawyer Clinesmith affording top white-collar law firm MoloLamken when unemployed & qualifies for public defender. Firm’s assigned no fewer 4 lawyers to Clinesmith defense. Is “Dem angel” paying his $250k+ legal bills?
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: Just days after Carter Page’s lawyer in April 2017 personally called anti-Trump FBI lawyer Clinesmith to complain Page was getting death threats from FBI leaks to media smearing Page as Russian agent, the FBI leaked to WaPo that Page under FISAs
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2021/01/25/timeline_how_the_fbi_repeatedly_disregarded_evidence_carter_page_was_no_traitor_to_spy_on_him_126877.html
What “community service” is Clinesmith going to perform? Who is going to be monitoring him to see that he does it? The answers are “none” and “no one” respectively. So he didn’t even get a slap on the wrist; he got away with it completely. Is that judge for real? Kee-ryst, the judge make him out to be a victim rather than the perp. So he lost a $150,000 a year job. Some leftist who is thrilled at what Clinesmith did to harass Trump and Page will hire him for triple that.
I thought Trump played 3 D chess! When you play chess first order is do the castling of the ?!
Ok With Russia hoax that didn’t happen!
Then in election year CCP Emperor virus that was the time to destroy the enemy castle w/ total shut down of Chinese imports & open a ledger for American people losses due to Chinese malfeasance! That would have taught illiterate American the dependency on China & uncovered Chinese agents in the Beltway! The resistance in battle ground states was never neutralized for their nefarious plans, anyone old enough remembers what did Mayor Daley do for first catholic Kennedy election? Vote stuffing! He held too many rallies IMHO but not enough behind the scenes work!
He didn’t do that bc he thought his economy was a his baby & will get him re-elected!
The U.S. depends heavily on China for providing the low-cost goods that enable income-constrained American consumers to make ends meet. When American
don’t realize how did we get in this predicament it is a very disheartening situation! This is actually a symbiotic relationship that is not going to last in current state! I know how it got there the unions forced the companies ultimately the POTUSs to go looking for diligent slave labor sites & Kissinger’s secret visit w: Mao found that & finally Obushintons made it happen building of Chinese dragon!
As a matter fact the Chinese are using bill of rights more effectively than the Americans them selves!
The Americans in our sanctuary state are homeless and sleeping on the side walks of any big cities one can drive around & look!
Honestly it was a beautiful place when I came to California 52 years ago never thought place will become a shithole! As a matter fact the whole country becomes this fat dumb & happy & just a gawker on the destruction of cities last summer game America is looking for curtains! Alas there is no other place to go!
The American Chinese Company is epitome of East India Company! Only way out is Trump votes pledge not buying any Chinese product likes of Boston Tea Party! Period.
But that’s $64K question How every thing is made in China a labor pool 10x the US! The borrowed money in US is ending in CCP hands & some of it in Biden’s pockets!
America shouldn’t produce grains more than she needs to feed US it is plain stupid to wait for commies purchase orders to makeup the trade imbalances!
Apologise have gone too long in my observations!
Excuse my English which is second language for me!
You did okay.
Pleas in mitigation for Kevin Clinesmith–I kid you not!
DEVELOPING: Repubs raising questions how dirty anti-Trump FBI lawyer Clinesmith affording top white-collar law firm MoloLamken when unemployed & qualifies for public defender. Firm’s assigned no fewer 4 lawyers to Clinesmith defense. Is “Dem angel” paying his $250k+ legal bills?
BREAKING: Defense lawyers for dirty anti-Trump FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith r pulling out all stops to keep him out of prison, inclg arguing that even tho he’s already had COVID & fully recovered, “it is possible to be re-infected w/ COVID,” so prison could “present risk to Kevin”
DEVELOPING: Case observers note dirty anti-Trump FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith suddenly got hitched after IG referred him for criminal charges & conveniently got wife pregnant while entering into proffer w/ SC Durham. He & wife now using her pregnancy as excuse to avoid jail time.
BREAKING: Pregnant wife of dirty anti-Trump FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who copped to falsifying evidence to frame Trump aide Carter Page, pleading with judge to go easy on him tomorrow @ sentencing b/c she is “stressed” about not being able to plan “the decor for the baby room”
1/2 In character letters, friends & relatives of dirty anti-Trump FBI lawyer Clinesmith argue he doesnt deserve jail time b/c: –“Kevin spent countless hours organizing an online Taylor Swift song bracket” during COVID isolation –He’s offered to “dog-sit” for neighbors
2/2 In character statements to the judge, friends and relatives of dirty anti-Trump FBI lawyer Clinesmith argue he doesnt deserve jail time b/c he: — helped someone who got injured in his DC “kickball” league — offered to share his umbrella w/ an FBI co-worker during downpour
They all wallow in the delusion that they are morally correct, even superior to the “Deplorables” who refuse to admire their sins and characteristic criminality. You see it every day, in every way. “We are the American Society”, they project fraudulently.
A criminal conviction now makes it much easier for Carter Page and maybe others to sue Clinesmith and maybe Anderson, et al. in civil court.
Of course, that would only work if the case were tried far outside Washington D.C.
Cold Anger. May we NOT forget or forgive these corrupt officials. May they all suffer with their guilt now and forever.
Yeah, but the Durham report is just around the corner and heads will roll!!!
LOL, that’s sarcasm coming from a long time poster here who, with much previously documented cause, predicted these nothingburger non-results and was labelled a “troll” as a result. Awakened to reality yet?
But take heart, the majority of voters don’t know and will never know about the headline topic here or the significance of it and about 50% would prefer that outcome if they knew of it. That’s more reality for you.
Clinesmith has and will lose nothing. The Swamp will gather the lad into its welcoming bosom to care for him the rest of his life. He took one for the team and will be well compensated for it.
