The Washington Post has a lengthy hit-piece against Kash Patel where they infer unsourced claims the DOJ is investigating the former Nunes aide and Trump administration official for releasing classified information.
Keep in mind that President Trump granted full declassification authority to AG Bill Barr on May 23, 2019. I would draw your attention to these two paragraphs buried deep in the reporting (emphasis mine):
(WaPo) […] The battle against the deep state continued, meanwhile. Patel kept pushing, along with DNI Ratcliffe, for declassification of memos challenging the origins of the Russia investigation. Nakasone [NSA Director] strongly dissented, and Esper [Sec of Defense] backed him up in an October letter to Ratcliffe “urging that the information not be released due to the harm it would do to national security, including specific harm to the military,” a senior defense official said. Haspel [CIA Director], too, strongly opposed release of the information. Their argument for protecting sensitive information was finally supported by Attorney General William P. Barr, and Trump backed away, a source close to the events said.
“I think there were people within the IC [Intelligence Community], at the heads of certain intelligence agencies, who did not want their tradecraft called out, even though it was during a former administration, because it doesn’t look good on the agency itself,” Patel said in the RealClearInvestigations interview.

It is tradition the NSA and CIA run to the Washington Post when they need a media PR firm to push their position. So this article makes sense considering the NSA and CIA both had something to hide within the criminal activity behind Spygate. [Maybe the timing has to do with recent information about the Durham probe.]
Regardless of what has initiated the need for the intelligence apparatus to turn attention toward Kash Patel I think we all understand exactly what is described inside the paragraphs; the stuff the IC couldn’t deal with…. the institutional damage they feared….. and ultimately the reason Bondo Barr went along with their need to keep it all hidden.
The NSA database was illegally being exploited by FBI “contractors” (likely Crowdstrike), and political opposition against Trump was being extracted and shared with the ideologically aligned Clinton group. After NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers shut down their access, the FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane to overcome the legal hurdle, and surveillance operations began again.
What the intelligence community fears is the American public knowing there is a process of using bulk metadata gathering of electronic communication for operations against politicians, political interest groups, and any entity deemed adverse to the interests of the leftist administration.
Such an admission would lead to an unrecoverable collapse in institutional integrity. That is why the entire IC apparatus aligned against the declassification.
Robert Mueller had two goals as special counsel. Goal #1 was to continue the fraudulent DOJ/FBI “Stop Trump” operation initiated by James Comey, Andrew McCabe and their crew technically named Crossfire Hurricane. Goal #2 was to bury the illegal action; to create the cover-up needed for everything that took place in the “Stop Trump” operation.
It is the second goal that most people never reconciled; however, it is also that second goal that’s the most important. Everyone in DC knew Mueller’s objective. Every person in every branch of government and every federal agency knew Mueller’s real purpose.
When you accept what Mueller’s objective was, I mean really accept it, then and only then can you move to the second part of that awakening. Everyone else knew exactly what that purpose was, including AG Bill Barr and OIG Michael Horowitz. They all knew.
Everything was essentially a process of systemic contingencies; ‘if this, then that’. If this happens then we react with that. If this is likely to come out, then we proactively respond with this – that allows control. That is the nature of a cover-up operation.
From that baseline it becomes an exercise in intellectual honesty to see the bigger picture.
The entire system was united against the ‘outsider’ that Trump represented. Every action taken by Rosenstein, Barr, Wray, Bowditch, Boente, Horowitz and the special counsel team itself was done purposefully, because they knew the Mueller/Weissmann objective was to cover-up all of the unlawful schemes previously used against Trump.
Generally people accept that Mueller Inc was in place to target Trump. However, the lesser admitted reality is that Mueller was in place to cover for the branches, agencies and institutions that were part of the originating targeting.
All leaks to the media, by any entity – including the special counsel, were purposeful with this goal in mind. All information released was done purposefully with this goal in mind. All action taken by those in support of the Mueller unit were taken with full knowledge of what that second goal and intent was.
No-one was ever unaware of the purpose of Robert Mueller.
Everyone knew.
That list of everyone includes: Bill Barr, Rod Rosenstein, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Lindsey Graham, Ron Johnson, Chuck Grassley, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Susan Rice, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch, Mitch McConnell, every member of the Senate intel committee; every member of the House intel committee… and yes, including John Durham and every member of every DOJ office everywhere.
The legislative branch knew. The judicial branch knew. The executive branch knew. The FISA court knew… All of the insiders knew the Mueller probe was one big vacuum to suck up all of the evidence that would have exposed a corrupt system to We The People.
They did all of this because the scale of the originating scandal was so severe it would be almost impossible for our nation to cope with the consequences. That fearful knowledge is also what’s behind the reality we are currently seeing with thousands of National Guard troops guarding Washington DC…. just in case. Another systemic contingency.
On TV some voices railed against goal #1, the investigation itself; however, no-one ever publicly talked about goal #2, the cover-up. Yet they all knew it.
Bill Barr knew the cover-up operation when he repeatedly praised Robert Mueller. So too did Lindsey Graham and all of the other voices in/around the DC system.
This is why all of those characters acted with disregard for any information that surfaced. They were all participants; and they knew the system would protect itself from sunlight.
Once you begin to accept this uncomfortable truth, then you start to realize just how far some voices went to keep the pantomime going. Everything was orchestrated to keep everyone focused on the “injustice” within the details.
Think about the last four years, systemic contingencies everywhere. No-one ever publicly talked about what Mueller was really in charge of doing in the goal of protecting the institutions and systems within them. The people inside that system all knew that Mueller was their protector. Mueller was protecting very corrupt people.
Everything now visible, the blatant disregard and the ‘in-your-face’ approach with the JoeBama administration, is downstream from that origination point. That’s why they all walk around as if they do not care…. because they have nothing to worry about.
Start from the position that everyone knew the purpose and intents of Robert Mueller, including people very close to President Trump, and then you start to realize just how brutally corrupt this DC system is. President Trump was satiated by people who knew Robert Mueller was protecting all of those who tried, and failed, to keep him out of office and then hamstring him once he entered the system.
Everyone knew.
No one did not know.
The only difference is… some were active participants, and some -out of fear- just sat silent to the cover-up operation. That reality is why the FISA court did not react to Kevin Clinesmith aggressively.
Everyone knew… And they could not let Trump win reelection. [Tweets, May 23, 2019]
Substitute “Democrat Party Security” whenever it says “National Security” and you’ll get a clearer picture.
The GOP was just as much involved in all the crimes against Trump and We the People and then the cover up to ensure those crimes were not exposed. It wasn’t just the Democrats. The entire system is corrupt. Don’t expect the Republicans to save the Republic.
We should expect the new Republicans to save the Republic.
and new democrats in the spirit of the actual journalists greenwald, johnstone, taibbi, mate, dore, etc. for that matter.
as the corruption is bipartisan (gw bush/obama) so too is the thirst for reform.
That extends down to the state level too. It shouldnt be difficult to preform an actual independent election audit when the state legislatures are majority red.
The few that are are doing a halfassed job of it. Note well that none of the criminals – be they Sctys of State, other election administrators, or judges – none of them are charged with any crime.
Six ways from Sunday applies to the State bureaucrats as well.
Well said! I hold the so called Republicans in higher contempt.
Second that, then again, we need to classify politicians into the 3 parties—Democrats, Republicans and the massive one, Deep Staters.
So do I!
EZ…case and point…Mike Pence
It is good to see 82 upvotes for EZgoer’s comment.
His remark is the brutal truth about the absolute total corruption of DC Swamp politics.
The GOP Liars now peppering our email inboxes with their sensationalized exhortations about the Biden Regime atrocities before their undisguised pleadings for $$$$ donations are failed politicians who should be completely ignored and replaced at the first genuine opportunity.
.
WRT to the excerpt copied in the article:
The black block in front of “contractors” — I read it as ‘DNC’ . . .
You’re not wrong.
You have a long way to go in piecing together what’s going on in our country… Good luck with it.
indeed.
9-11 is in many ways the origination event for this chain of corruption and violence and that was run under the “conservative republican” administration of gw bush and cheney (and the “conservative likud” administration of netanyahu for that matter).
trump said bombs not just planes destroyed the world trade center on the day it happened and he was right.
^this^ And as EZgoer down thread, we need to remember that the GOP is the Republican wing of the Democrat party. They’re all in this together as they sail under the Democrat party flag.
The one name Sundance didnt list that was also in on the cover-up was PDJT.
We don’t completely know Trump’s hand.
Yet.
Is there a ‘plan’ in which we are to still place our ‘trust’?
Still only God’s plan as far as I know.
That is EXACTLY right! Thank you…
How so? I agree that Trump should have done more to release the information instead of relying on Bondo Barr, but how was PDJT involved?
PDJT wasnt part of the coverup but he knew what was going on and he was not focused on bringing past wrongdoers to justice. He wanted the DOJ and IC to be clean up going forward.
Again, while this was the singular most important issue for SOME of the MAGA folks, like SOME would say election integrity is more important now, the MOST important issue for PDJT from 6/2015 (and decades before) through 11/16/2021 remains a MAGA economy. Everything else, EVERYTHING ELSE, is secondary.
I have one observation on your comment which is spot on, BTW. Trump was a highly successful BUSINESSMAN and all that it entails. He tried to run the government like a business and it wasn’t going to work. I am sure his business hires had to meet certain criteria to produce or be fired. His HR department must have done that job. His business was to build things, create jobs, make a profit and he knew how to do that well. Government could not be run like his business. You can’t just concentrate on the economy. He wasn’t able to choose the best candidates to help him with no structure in place to assure things ran smoothly. I also think it was a mistake to bring in Javanka. I remember serious morale problems when one of my principals brought in her daughter to spy on teachers. JMHO!
Unlike a business where the CEO has the ability to hire, fire and move the chess pieces, PDJT had a massive albatross around his neck in Micromanager Mitch, he controlled a majority of Deep State Republicans and he and Chucky Schumer shared the same bed much like Burr and Warner. No wonder there is so much support in Congress for transgenders and misgenders, these guys have slept with so many guys from the other party that they need a scorecard to know if they are the plug or the socket!!
EVERY TIME PDJT tried to expose the plots THEY THREATENED HIM WITH IMPEACHMENT AND OBSTRUCTION
EVERY TIME
Agreed. He kept his foot off the pedal. He could have hired his version of Herr Mueller. He could have pardoned Assage and Snowden. I’m sure he was warned if he did that he would be impeached and worse. Jan. 6 was a set up and warning to him.
What do we do? Do we contract with UAB and Russia to invade and free us from our captors? Might be a good plan.
spoogles…absolutely. Sadly they got away with it but because of PDJT’s and Sundance’s efforts we are very much more informed.
So? They impeached twice anyway. Better to expose when he could, damn the threats.
.
I strongly suspect that he couldn’t. One man versus literally thousands.
and with the examples of the murders of the kennedy brothers as a caution, not to say what happened to such as antonin scalia, seth rich, ron brown, vince foster, etc.
as it happened, for those that are not willfully blind, donald trump’s administration was an epiphany regarding the depth of corruption of the five eyes’ governments and media. changed consciousness must precede changed institutions.
Albertus…please explain. I don’t understand how PDJT is in on the cover-up. What have I missed?
What national security? There can be none, not when the people in charge are all COMMUNISTS.
.
Or when they (the IC) are purposefully providing false information (Russia bounties) . . .
Debra, they have been doing it since the inception of the agencies to shape policies. George W. & Cheney put the metal to the pedal with “The Patriot Act”.
Doesn’t matter now.
All WaPo had to do was to wait until after the election and feign surprise.
All Deepies involved are snug and warm and will remain that way.
‘The dogs are still barking but the caravan has moved on.’
snug and warm now, yes, but their remaining that way is still an open matter. the hyperbolic trajectory of the monetary measures and federal deficits are starting to feed into inflation measurable by grocery shoppers and even the deeply corrupted bureau of labor statistics.
the mandate of heaven may yet be withdrawn.
And the disinformation campaign continues to distract with bogus stories about Trump’s return … any day now, and on and on with stories of massive though hidden attacks on the deep state to keep the faithful distracted.
As long as We The People remain faithful, the institutions will try to justify destroying us.
https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/after-the-riot-capitol-attack/
“The mob tried to stop the certification of the election of Joe Biden because they believed the false claims of then-President Donald Trump that rampant fraud had stolen victory from him. Many who experienced that fury say they continue to process the trauma of the day. And all want the events to be remembered as a lesson for Americans, and the world.“
The mob & everything that happened that day was a WAS a setup by the deep state! Yes, some Trump supporters were lured into their trap but majority weren’t supporters & brought in by deep state & their minions!
Obviously you haven’t looked at the evidence, this election, as previous ones, were stolen! Americans have been lied to for a long time! PDJT opened our eyes to the truth of what’s been going on within the deep state!
As I see it, from your comments, you’re not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination!
Ann, bless your heart. Obviously you didn’t read the article I quoted which is a smear of all conservatives. NBC is featuring such disinfo on a daily basis.
really… do you care what they have to say?
Yes
Now they’re saying Manafort gave details about the Trump polling to Russia via Kliminchik
How would that remotely be considered a crime even if Manafort did it? Since when is it against the law for professional political operators/election campaign consultants to talk shop? What “polling data” has ever been the equivalent of classified information? Notice that anyone who brings up this incident usually puts the adjective “sensitive” before “polling data,” as if to plant the suggestion that polling data is CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, and giving it to an ALLEGED Russian government agent is illegal and an act of ESPIONAGE.
My bad. Konstantin Klimink is not RUSSIAN. He is UKRAINIAN. He was around for the Soviet Union and worked for a time with Soviet military intelligence, GRU. Now, he appears to be freelance since he traded information with—-wait for it—the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. So, who contacted whom? Kliminik contact Manafort, or the other way around, or did someone tell Kilminik to RUB UP AGAINST MANAFORT to dirty him up with a former GRU boy?
Now a ‘Russian Spy,’ Kilimnik Traded Info With Obama Officials | RealClearPolitics
Now a ‘Russian Spy,’ Kilimnik Traded Info With Obama Officials | RealClearPolitics
All of this points to the following:
Guy Jordan, I wouldn’t be surprised by this being true. I never quite understood what Manafort’s role was in the plot against The President.
My latest Twitter thread about Manafort. Manafort was the only one at the Veselnitskaya meeting at Trump Tower that had his cell phone turned on, supposedly taking notes.

Another rotten Trump pick. Did he hire even one single patriot?
Slim pickin’s.
Riding the bomb. Yee Hah!
Treepers, beware. We have some deep state plants on here trying to alienate us from supporting the greatest president this country has ever had.
Agree.
Yup, Chooseamerica, the jackals with their carrion breath, that you reference, are an ugly group living off of the pittance provided by the swamp rats.
Phew…. on this great site the outstanding disappointment is the often reflexive reaction to opinions not 100% in agreement with the general narrative.
Harry’s question is a good one.
That businessman PDJT had so many failures picking people is undeniable and very strange, his background predicted that people picking should have been a strength.
It pays not to arc up, maybe consider the truth of the matter that offends you first.
Consider this truth please: It would bot have mattered one iota whom President Trump picked. The fix was in, the outcome predetermined.
A “dream team” would not have altered the end result: A coup.
Debatable, that …… no Sessions pick meant no Mueller inquiry over 2 years of distraction, meant no Rosie etc etc…..
I’d say that and Chief of Staff picks mattered large iotas.
But that’s just my opinion, feel free to have another opinion.
write, Sessions was picked by the republicans in the senate.
No one here has any idea the pool of employees at his level President Trump had to draw from. I’m sick and tired of reading pundits who are into listing his failures when he accomplished in 4 years way more than any other president acomplished in 8 years, and the rest of them didn’t have the dragons of Hell focused on destroying them. There are too many on here who figure themselves the arbiters of what President Trump did wrong, without knowing what his REAL choices were. Monday Morning Quarterbackers, please go home! There is nothing useful you are advancing.
I’ve been away too long. The US as a place of 100% cheer squad or you’re the enemy is unfamiliar.
Grow up, PDJT is the best President in at least 150 years …. who nevertheless screwed up badly with his appointments, those screw ups caused him massive avoidable problems.
You can disagree all you want Mr. Monday Morning Quarterback but you’d better be citing facts to support your assertions if you want to be taken seriously here..
Please, show us your list of appointees for each position who you approve and who President Trump could have chosen AND GOTTEN APPROVED by McConnell’s Senate.
List them by each office/ position that you claim the President “screwed up”.
Please. We are all waiting.
Every day I read of more “accomplishments “ wiped away by the current rulers. Energy gains wiped out, wall not finished, gun control, supreme court packing and on and on.
Yes, and….? You thought the Democrats, once they successfully stole the White House and Senate, were going to let PDJT’s MAGA-oriented EO’s and policies stay in place?
In business matters people are also political. President Trump needed patriots to help him as President, and there are few left now, My father was a patriot who fought in WWII, and I think that generation for the most part, was filled with men who put service and country first.President Trump is such a man.
The senior Bush fought in the war, but became a CIA head and “new world order” guy even though he served under the great Ronald Reagan. I don’t quite get the whole picture, but the elites and globalists think they know better than the rabble and their plan for power, wealth and domination is working out, only we see them for what they are now, Traitors to our great country.
I think some peeps on this thread don’t understand the game of power in DC. We all know that many of Trump’s pick for his cabinet had to be approved by the Senate. RIGHT?
This means that RINO Turtleneck had a lot to say about who would be approved and who wouldn’t. RIGHT??
Way too many peeps don’t understand the game of “POWER” and how to use it. RINO Turtleneck’s Chinese wife had a position as Sec of Transportation. Maybe Trump should have used his power to fire her as leverage against RINO Turtleneck. HOWEVER, that would be a bad idea because RINO Turtleneck was doing a good job in getting “conservative” justices on the bench. Right?
“getting “conservative” justices on the bench.”
Are you sure about this?
That last statement about “conservative” justices made me laugh out loud. They turned on Trump and us so fast it has to make you wonder.
We know that some of Trump’s picks for the Supreme Court were “conservative.” However, how does one determine if one is a coward or not when vetting them? The justices on the Supreme Court are mostly cowards. They are afraid of seeing a mob in front of their house………..AND they know and we know that our intel agencies won’t arrest one single soul for harassing Supreme Court justices.
“Blind” justice in USA is a joke.
My apology for taking so long to respond as my comment was the first ever made on the CTH forum. I wasn’t expecting my comment to be accepted.
greenchili,
Welcome to this great place.
John Roberts is apparently the one who dictates to the other Justices.
I recall it was leaked that there was a great deal of shouting over taking on Pres. Trump’s Election interference/fraud case. Roberts demanding and dictating what the Court would do.
The fear of violence on the streets. But it’s ok for BLM., Antifa to cause mayhem, violence and destruction, just NOT Conservatives, to peacefully protest.
Roberts is not a coward, in my view, but a political, anti Trump hack.
Yes, sadly the others are pathetic, cowardly judges, in that limp Institute.
write…you fail to mention the success’ of DJT. Despite the “coup” he mastered many many accomplishments than any other President in our history…all for the good of our Nation. Omission of facts is not very honorable.
Try reading what I write, “PDJT is the best President in at least 150 years” negates your comment.
“That businessman PDJT had so many failures picking people is undeniable and very strange, his background predicted that people picking should have been a strength.”
You really think President Trump could hire anyone he wanted? You think he could fire anyone he wanted?
Donald Trump, a businessman, CEO of a private corporation, is used to having the power to hire and fire. Like you said, people picking should have been a strength.
POTUS, however, is like a CEO who does not have the power to pick his senior executives: cabinet level, IC heads, etc – anyone requiring Senate approval. POTUS only has the the power to put forth his picks to another group – the US Senate. The Senate decides who gets hired via confirmation.
Into that, Donald Trump becomes POTUS Trump.
POTUS Trump’s choices were severely limited. Any Trump pick was winnowed down to whomever was “confirmable by the Senate.” Add in Russiagate, Mueller, Ukraingate; impeachment, et al, and Trump’s ability to hire and fire became even more limited (by design). Mueller/Russia was used to block Trump from firing Sessions, for example.
If this were a private business, it would be like Donald Trump gets hired to run the USA Corp as the outsider CEO in a big corporate turnaround, but at USA Corp, CEO Trump has to go to the all-powerful head of HR, Mitch McConnell, who actually approves Trump’s new hires. McConnell and HR hates the outsider CEO, as do many other entrenched, corrupt execs. Further, the head of HR is fully aware of others inside the company who are working on ousting the CEO, by any means necessary, including corporate espionage against its own CEO. He’s accused of the worst sorts of corporate malfeasance. Internal investigations are launched. HR for its part, will block the CEO from hiring anyone they deem a threat, and also block him from firing people who are working to get him fired.
I would never fault Trump for “failures picking people.” Never.
Your cognitive dissonance will end up being a serious handicap….it always is.
I don’t have the patience to fisk your comment line by line, enough to say PDJT had the ability to appoint an ‘Acting’ anything and challenge the Senate to keep rejecting his nominations for as many years as it took. No excuses, The Don knows he screwed up.
They are on EVERY conservative site. Always have been. Playing the ROLCON Concern Troll roll. (fake conservatives) They exploded right after President Trump had his election stolen. MAGA!
They’ve been popping up lately like mushrooms after a big rain.
Trump didn’t pick Barr.
Barr was recommended to Trump (GW Bush?) with the usual caveat that McConnell could get him confirmed.
Barr may have brought an end to the Meuller probe and cover up, but then proceeded to stonewall – which probably included Durham’s investigation.
Yep, effing G.W. Bush.
His economic team – which were people Trump actually picked himself, and Dr. Carson.
The DOJ, State Dept and National security picks all went through the Swamp filter. McConnell, Pence, Christie, Priebus, and other RNC swamp critters made sure those positions were filled with fellow travelers.
Do you actually think McConnell or other GOPe like Graham would confirm Kris Kobach as AG?
Yes, General Michael Flynn….
Another rotten Mitch McConnell pick.
McConnell had defacto control over every Trump hire that required Senate confirmation. This is why McConnell kept the Senate in full session for 4 years, with no recess, to block Trump from making recess appointments.
Any Trump pick that McConnell would not confirm was DOA.
Maybe the real list we need is the list of people who told us we needed to vote for McConnell.
Is anyone surprised?
barr’s grandson can ask him why he did this.
Somehow Barr thinks his grandchildren will be exempt from the rising wrath of Black and Brown people as well as the benefactors who will put White Christians last in the queue for college admissions, law and medical school admissions, hiring and promotions, etc. Not to mention the physical and emotional price they will pay raising their own families in minority crime ridden suburban towns. Barr must be an idiot to think the Bolshevicks are going to remember that William Barr made all of their dreams come true!
Bolshevick Barr, it has a certain ring to it. Did you see the naughty Cheshire grin as he left.
yes and so disgusting.
Should the Republic Fall, Barr and his DC pals will subsequently be liquidated in a “Hundred Flowers Campaign”.
Barr’s grandchildren will be labeled as family members of a counter-revolutionary, and will reside in a studio apartment with a dozen other people.
A Harvard law degree will be meaningless, because the State will be the law. In fact, we are already well down this road.
Useful idiots, all of them will lose. Just like our cowardly Supreme Court.
A Harvard Law School degree is already worthless when they hand out “A” grades to minority law school students like candy at Halloween!
Arrogance beyond a certain point becomes indistinguishable from stupidity. The fools don’t think that bad outcomes can really happen to them.
Our ruling elites are dyscivilizational. Worse, they are neither elite nor ours any longer, but a hodgepodge of corrupt and incompetent internationalists with a thin veneer of corrupt WASPs like Barr and Mueller to provide the face men and hatchet men necessary to keep the charade going a little longer. The sooner Washington DC goes back to being a literal swamp, the better.
The United States went through — and recovered from — a civil war. Among other things.
I remain perplexed as to why the country wouldn’t be able to recover. Or why we care if “institutions” such as the CIA etc. “collapse”.
Totally agree. Since when does integrity matter to those that never possessed it. I re read paragraph three where it states Trump backed off. If he knew what they were up to then he was aware he wouldn’t win reelection. What was there to lose? Big mistake letting them scamper back to their ratholes.
What was there to lose? Start with Trump, Inc. You saw what they did to Gen. Flynn. Just think what DOJ and IRS could fabricate against Eric, Don Jr., and Ivanka.
I think they know how popular Trump is and they thought they could destroy him. I am only surprised they did not kill him when all else failed. The fact that the election was stolen is obvious to every world government. The deep state cannot hide their scheming anymore from anyone or from themselves.
Stolen power is not real power or strngth and they know it. The peole are not behind this government. Let’s see it stand.
Right on. Our lives have collapsed, our once booming economy, the security at the border. Our fake president collapsed 3x going up the stairs to Air Force One.
tuskyou, we haven’t seen any more airport departures, have we?
The malfeasance of persons such as Barr and Roberts is pushing the country toward disaster.
Obstruction of justice is a crime, not malfeasance.
Those who have built the institutions seem to care, but they have no honor to fix the corruption when it becomes obvious. Comey, Rosenstein, the Orr’s….on and on. These characters are pathetic and disgusting to behold in their arrogance. Mike Rodgers remains quite a stand out for letting President Trump see what was going on.
I am grateful that we at this website have been shown the truth and hope that the corruption and failure of Biden shows the country what is happening as well.
Really, the corporations in charge of the media never let the story come out. What can we do?
Demographics would prevent the USA from being the USA we currently know it. There is no way the newly imported peoples of the world are going to pick up with business as usual after some kind of conflict. The USA will splinter forever.
outhouse counsel, these institutions must remain to protect the corrupt government.
Americans used to have spines. And they weren’t glued to their propaganda machines 24/7. Yes, they had “news” papers that promoted propaganda but there remained an interest in surviving (earning a living). The thought of universal income and the nanny state wasn’t even an idea that could be envisioned.
The world was an entirely different place in the 1860s, with few if any nations able to successfully attack and overpower the U.S. during the Civil War.
That’s not true today at all. Should this nation become embroiled in an internal civil war requiring military intervention or where the corrupt government is under (rightful) siege by patriots, there are any number of hostile armed nations (China being number one) who are prepared and are itching for the opportunity to attack and damage our outlying territories and our weaker allies, much less our trade and our financial stability (shaky as that is). The CCP and Russia, not to mention Iran and some other dark players, are likely already very able to take out our satellites and means of communications to coordinate our defenses.
I’m not certain but I have serious doubts about the current DOD/military leadership as to whether they would support actions that overturned the corrupt leadership of multiple LEA’s and Intel organizations as well as SCOTUS justices and Congressional members who have broken serious laws. Any civil war must have that as a primary objective – not just drain but clean out the swamp.
The saddest part…
Where are whistleblowers to expose these crimes and corrupt behaviors?
Are there no good men in DC with honor and courage to right these wrongs?
Is there not even one?
No.
They saw what happened to Seth Rich, and others.
Fire and brimstone is what DC deserves.
Who says there aren’t any? They bury every other detail of criminality. Why not a whistleblower’s complaint?
A whistleblower’s complaint can be classified and they can be threatened if they talk about it. Democrat congressional oversite will be congressional overlook when it suits them.
Just sayin
There are no whistleblowers anymore because whistleblowers get their lives destroyed. Look at what happened to Julian Assange. It was Trump’s DOJ that went after him and it was Trump who refused to pardon Julian Assange on the way out (after pardoning scores of slimy crooks including Jared’s dad)
Truly, I think it’s a miracle that Donald Trump managed to survive these monsters without getting JFK’d.
How do we get our country back without another American Revolution?
What Trump unwittingly exposed is that the USA is just as much a totalitarian government as China and Russia. It is ruled by a politburo of a corrupt elitist class that is mostly concerned with retaining their own power and maximizing their own wealth (and no matter how enormous that wealth, it’s never enough). The Constitution and the check and balances to divide power was ingenious and the Founders were both brilliant and good. But the system has been subverted in the last 30 years and EVERY area of government is totally corrupt and self-serving. President Trump was one person against the entire system — he had virtually no allies to help him. When push came to shove, they even rigged an election to ensure the result they wanted. Our belief that we are the “good guys” has been burst. It’s the most discouraging thing I could ever imagine.
Precisely,
The world is truly watching this farcical administration implode.
The “ Big Dogs” of the world must be pissing their collective pants at the thought Harris at the Helm.
Goodness me..the system of governance in the U.S.A. had better get an enema soon or it’s game over as a Superpower.
A country of the Stature of the U.S.A. cannot withstand 4 years of this rot.
God bless PDJT
The American people are also watching this farcical administration implode. Time is not on the side of the traitors. Things such as the border crisis, inflation, Covid fake remedies are starting to wear people down with constant angst.
Meanwhile the utterly corrupt DOJ and judicial system in the US continues on, business as usual.
It is the biggest threat against anyone wanting to administer that enema.
We are worse off than either China or Russia. They at least both have ruling classes which are not tripping over themselves in their haste to replace their own people. Plato and Aristotle observed this exact behavior in Greek tyrants more than 2000 years ago: oligarchs and their tyrants import diversity as the divide for ‘divide and rule’. A squabbling band foreigners to each other will not unite in opposition to tyranny and oligarchy. A people united by bonds of blood, religion, and culture will.
None of what is happening is new to human history. It is just new to Americans because we have been blessed with a quarter millennium of relative peace and freedom which has made us naive about what is normal in most of the rest of the world.
“Our belief that we are the “good guys” has been burst.”
What??
We (Deplorables) ARE the Good Guys.
That’s an irrefutable fact. Period.
This is why the Treehouse is such a treasure. When asking, seeking for the truth, one only needs to read here and your posts are often months, if not years, ahead of what eventually even the main stream media acknowledges was true all along. Thank you for your perseverance in presenting these truths throughout the years. It sure makes life a lot easier having a handle on the stories the media would rather not tell us.
Amen!
If it wasn’t for Sundance, the truth would die in darkness.
There is no one else out there who has his ability to get the information, analyze it and then write about so that people can read and understand what’s going on.
I don’t know what we would do without Sundance and the Fellowship of the Tree House.
Amen!
Cold Anger here late at night, 2022, 2024 will be our stand for what is right!
Yep! Heard that line before too! Like in 2016, 2018, 2020. The cycle continues with such talking points, but the reality is the American public is too apathetic and too busy with consumerism to even bother with any coalition for advocacy. Every nation starts and falls based on this cycle. Athens was a teaching moment in history.
That bible thumping bastard Barr didn’t declassify, didn’t look into the funding of Antifa as he said he would and OKed a sweetheart deal with a corrupt low level DOJ attorney who – if properly squeezed – could have testified against most of the other actors in the Russian collusion fiasco. In the unlikely event anything further of substance comes from Durham it will be too little and waaaay too late.
Had Barr honored his oath and done his job (as opposed to feigning a conviction to do so based on his “faith”), it would have sent a strong message to the forces of evil who now run this country and they might have thought twice before stealing this election as the entire world watched.
But no, Barr abdicated his responsibility, gave them the green light to do whatever they pleased – and they did – and he (Barr) will be remembered as a criminal co-conspirator along side the scum he enabled.
Exactly!
Barr-gain and his fellow Pontius Pilate stand-in Mike Pence. If anyone in DC truly follows Christ they’ll be run out of town. I will never trust another bigmouth political Bible quoter again.
The Bible thumpers are worse than the big mouth socialists.
Barr was a Bushie and that says it all.
Barr spent most of his 20’s working for the mother effing CIA with Poppy Bush as CIA Director. Then he spent the 1980’s as VP Bush’s bag man running the drug smuggling operation into Mena, AR alongside Bill Clinton. As a reward he was made President Bush’s AG at age 42. As AG he set up the DOJ targeting of the militia movement which led to Ruby Ridge. A simple 10 minute internet search can yield all of this information. So the question remains, WHY THE HELL DID DJT select him for AG??? Why Comey? Why Sessions? Why Wray? Why Haspel? McMasters? Mattis? I could go on, but you get the point.
Oh, I forgot…Barr’s father, a self described radical Marxist was the head of the elitist Dalton School in NYC and hired Jeffrey Epstein for his very first job as a teacher, despite the fact that Epstein had no college degree.
No coincidence Epstein met an expected fate while AG Barr was at the helm. I wonder what happened with that investigation? Spit!
I didn’t know about that connection. It casts a new light on Epstein’s death.
How could Trump possibly have known these things?
TEN MINUTE INTERNET SEARCH. He was the damn president, sorry if I expect him to take appointments like AG seriously.
This is the critical question. I have two answers.
1) They had leverage on the Trump family.
2) President Trump was a horrible judge of character.
If DeSantis runs, I’ve got to vote DeSantis.
I always explained away the Epstein / Trump connection, but when I stumbled across a NYT article from the 1980’s I got a bad feeling that I could shake. It was a profile of Trump, the author was flying with Trump on his jet. There was a friend of Trump’s hitching a ride on the jet. That friend was Ghislane Maxwell. Acosta as Labor Secretary, Dershowitz the liberal lion defending him at every opportunity…I’m not saying that there’s anything there, I’m just saying it sets off some spidey senses. But yes, I’ve come to the same conclusion that those are the only two options.
I think George W recommended Barr to President Trump for AG when the Bush family were in DC for George H funeral and Pence was all for it
I read that somewhere.
Correct.
But Joe deGenova said how happy he was of the Barr hire and it was the greatest, single most act that Trump had made. Talk about hiding the salami. Thanks Joe.
Joe was also singing Comey’s praises in Spring 2015. “A boy scout” “Always gets his man” etc etc
Johnny…deGenova and his “groovy” wife are probably two of the most devious creeps I’ve even seen interviewed on tv. So obvious.
Alli, it doesn’t mean it’s true. If Bush did, it was at the behest of the republican leaders, to stop the avalanche of information being exposed.
Somebody had to be appointed with the gravitas to get rid of the conspirators in the doj. Mueller’s coverup of the crimes was finished, and a great deal of damage had been done to the Trump Presidency, mission accomplished, so time to put an end to the investigation. Barr was acceptable to Mitch and was installed to cover up the cover-up.
The criminals involved in the attempted coup knew there was nothing to fear from Barr, I guess you could call it The Art of The Deal. President Trump did the very best he could surrounded by these vile creatures and NO SUPPORT from the republicans.
President Trump didn’t have a great deal of control over whom he was allowed to appoint. How difficult is that to understand?
That is the biggest cop out I’ve ever heard. So the man has NO agency? He had NO control over anything? Why did he run then? You are saying he was a puppet just like every other deep state candidate of the last two generations? Not a great excuse. Lock downs and masks were also Trump initiatives, I guess he is blameless there too? I’ve heard the arguments…they would have impeached him again if he didn’t etc etc etc. So the man was a coward looking after his own skin instead of following a moral code? We need to be honest about these things and stop treating people like “messiah” figures come to save us. WE are the only solution to these problems, but instead of taking action we are too wrapped up in hero worship or waiting for a mythical plan to unfold. Respectfully, Gads.
And that’s one of the stupidest RolCon attempts I’ve ever seen.
Remember the rally when Trump said about Bill Barr “I’ll only say this once……”.
Charm. It works to a powerful degree. It’s why Bush claimed he looked into Putin’s eyes and saw his soul. (Gag.)
Trump has it, uses it. No doubt Barr used it on Trump. Not impossible. Why else would Trump maintain a positive backing of a guy who ostensibly undermined him the whole time?
Barr talked a good game about exposing the corrupt forces arrayed against the administration and most of it was the truth, but that’s all he did right up to the November election.
Too big to fail? It has already failed. Barr, fat ugly sob, is just one fake bible reading ba$Tard.
“They did all of this because the scale of the originating scandal was so severe it would be almost impossible for our nation to cope with the consequences.”
I’ve seen this several times. I wonder if the nation would really not have been able to cope.
But I guess it’s hypothetical at this point.
All they’ve done is make the scandal much more severe.
The nation would rejoice in freedom. The deep state would collapse.
But there were trillions at stake.
Q
the IC as a general mandate cannot be allowed to be exposed as inept. this is the minimum mandate. That the work was ineffective and feckless. This has happened many times and it has shaped the culture within the ic. learning how poorly and fraudulently it rented a Iraq terror state and chemical and bio narrative to give the former president and congress the support and a “credible” narrative to act in a state of war against another nation. When this fraud was FINALLY exposed, congress and the former president did little to protect the bad work of the IC. This shifted the blame to the IC. It was a political DC 2 step of the highest order. Not only was the IC betrayed by the government, but was humiliated and condemned openly. The press was pretty relentless in assigning blame for bad assessments that proved flimsy at best, and contrived and conjured at worst.
fast forward, and you have an IC that acts “smarter now”…it has the ear of the media and the DOJ to work in lockstep with congress with special negotiated terms that allow it to be insulated from any future assignment or inquiries of blame.
the moment the IC in the united states brokered partnerships with the most powerful technocrats, it became a financial factor. play for pay. outsource IC needs to private contractors…and not necessarily for national security threats..but aimed at fiancnail plays. Within these classified “reports” are clues to congress that amount to insider trading leads. These closed door sessions have become a means to gain private power. The state now acts as a whole body, not separated by constitutional separations. NO longer held to an agreement about objective separation of interests.
The private companies are now THE MOST POWERFUL lobby and staffer committees that function to illicit special private deals. Using the surveillance state powers to find and create those oppportunities.
now congress has an incentive to partner and not question the IC.
why create waves when the IC is dealing you in?
Yet another great post. Thank you!
Against this backdrop, does America think any future election will not be manipulated?
Trump cracked the door to the corruption but three branches of government, MSM, and intelligence community fought back and won.
That door is closed forever and no amount of sunlight will shine through. Keep inn mind there’s five ways around a door. ?
Idk why, but Barr agreed to come in to shut down Mueller…nothing more, nothing less. Still not sure why he/they were willing to stand by and let all the rest happen.
He needed to shut down Mueller to fully engage the cover up. The goods were coming out so had to classify everything to keep it under wraps and buy some time. Imo, it is as simple as that.
NJF, it was his mission to end the investigation and run out the clock on the Trump presidency. He was successful and is a Swamp Hero.
I spent my stimulus handout on guns and ammo. When just considering $4 Trillion as the stimulus (if that was everything), when divided by 350 million Americans, equals $11,429 on the credit card for every man, woman and child. All of that for the much smaller checks given to just the taxpayers. A family of 4 has their share of the debt as $45,716 just for the stimulus. WTF happened to all of the rest? How will that be paid back? We are done as a Nation.
Evil people took a perfectly good country and flushed it down the toilet. I hope the$$$$$$’s were worth it.
Now consider that every year the US government spends $4T, so every year you get $0 but are loaded with the corresponding debt. At some point, Atlas must shrug.
The one person, in the very beginning, that could have been the hero?
The Keebler elf, Jeff Sessions.
Reminder that Mike Pompeo personally recommend Gina Haspel to succeed him as CIA Director and that he never once criticized her on how she spent 4 years, stonewalling the release of information about CIA activities against the 2016 Trump campaign to Congress.
Sorry to say this but Mike Pompeo is a pretty fishy person, himself.
The old Potomac two-step is good for them but bad for “We, the people of the United States” and our nation.
Nowtheyre going after Pompeo too-for “misusing” his aides
Allegedly his wife asked an aide to make a hairdresser appointment for her
WTH does Biden do, Pelosi, Jill Biden?
All of them do the same
Just saw a blurb tonite claiming Pompeo is considering a run of 2024, regardless of Trump’s plans
Mueller is just like biden. An addle minded empty shell to be filled with the puppet masters desires. Did he even know what was in the report he signed? DC is fully corrupt, and is the epicenter of the spiritual warfare that is being waged all around us. It is an evil that only Jesus can defeat.
We dont have any representation in congress, but we do have Jesus, and NOTHING will stand against him.
“The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.”
Ecclesiastes 9:17-18 ESV
Gina Haspel tricked Trump on several occasions. For example, she colluded with the NYT to trick Trump into expelling Russian diplomats. The Russiagate trail goes to Biden, Obama, Rice, Brennan.
When did president Trump expel Russian diplomats?
After Gina Haspel tricked him.
Trump wisely wanted better U.S. relations with Russia: diplomacy and peace. Russia is a natural ally against China. Instead, Russia has been pushed into a closer alliance with China.
“Today the New York Times portraits Gina Haspel’s relation with Trump. The writers seem sympathetic to her and the CIA’s position. They include an anecdote of the Skripal expulsion decision that is supposed to let her shine in a good light. But it only proves that the CIA manipulated the president for its own purpose:
The Skripal case was widely covered and we followed it diligently (scroll down). There were no reports of any children affected by ‘Novichok’ nor were their any reports of dead ducks. In the official storyline the Skripals, before visiting a restaurant, fed bread to ducks at a pond in the Queen Elizabeth Gardens in Salisbury. They also gave duck-bread to three children to do the same. The children were examined and their blood was tested. No poison was found and none of them fell ill. No duck died. (The duck feeding episode also disproves the claim that the Skripals were poisoned by touching a door handle.)
If the NYT piece is correct, the CIA director, in cooperation with the British government, lied to Trump about the incident. Their aim was to sabotage Trump’s announced policy of better relations with Russia. The ruse worked.
The NYT piece does not mention that the pictures Gina Haspel showed Trump were fake. It pretends that her lies were “new information” and that she was not out to manipulate him:
The job of the CIA director is to serve the president, not to protect the agencies own policies. Hopefully Trump will hear about the anecdote, recognize how he was had, and fire Haspel. He should not stop there but also get rid of her protector who likely had a role in the game:
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2019/04/cia-director-used-fake-skripal-incident-photos-to-manipulate-trump.html
Ties back to the Flynn frame up. DJT expelled some diplomats and the FIB lied saying that Flynn was discussing sanctions when he wasn’t. Just one of many lies by the FIB in the illegal framing of General Flynn.
I do believe I heard President Trump say the other day that now that he has been in and around Washington he has learned how the game is played and didn’t go any further so maybe if he does come back in 24 he will play their game and fire all of them and put his own people in place or the majority leader of the senate will be looking for a new job.
I pray for him and his family and I am sorry that people feel he didn’t do as much as he could have
I believe he did everything he could, When you see that the way the Gov works is when one traitor is fired there is one more in line and they have to take their place and McConnell and Paul Ryan made sure the first two years that many of his cabnet people were not confirmed but made sure that more back stabbers was placed in his admins he tried to work with them but found them all to be nothing but stupid idiots who couldnt butter their own bread..
How many people leaked to the press and how many of them left only to write stupid books talking about how bad he was and then the truth is found out but its too late to make things right and nothing he does or says ever is good enough so anyway I am sorry, I think that to many people want to blame him for things he couldn’t do anything about ,,
Think about the amount of money that Pence and a few other people were paid to do what they did with the election and please would anyone here do me a favor and Tell Ted Cruz if you don’t have something decent to say Don’t say anything about the President That guy is nothing but a big mouthed stupid jerk and still gets his kicks by telling people how much they hate President Trump
Rustybritche, very well-stated my friend: “…he did everything he could.” Yes, also agree with regard to Cruz keeping his mouth shut if he is incapable of a decent comment(s). I feel the same about evil, cringe-worthy Liz Cheney and I pray she is taken down and never to be heard from ever again!
Barr simply reminded President Trump who really was running things and the matter was dropped.
national security is FERAL CRIMINAL SYNDICATE security
The utter corruption of our system of government through the creation and abuse of unaccountable bureaucracies to deny the people their absolute right to consent to their own governance has been the most revealing aspect of the Trump phenomena. All you need to recall to know that the entire system is corrupt is that, despite having full authority to declassify, Bagpipes Bob never declassified the identification of the FBI contractors expressly found by the FISA court to have conducted illegal electronic surveillance through their access to the NSA database to the tune of 85 percent of their documented searches. We don’t know who the contractors were. We don’t know who the subject of their illegal searches were, including whether their targets included then candidate Trump, members of his family or members of his campaign. And despite an express finding of illegality by the federal court responsible for oversight to prevent such corruption, none of the contractors have been the subject of a prosecution.
We do know that if the audit conducted by Admiral Rogers had NOT revealed illegal electronic surveillance of candidate Trump, his family or his campaign, or of other Republican presidential candidates and their campaigns, the Washington Post would have leaked that information to impeach the credibility of the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation. Or Barr would have relieved our fears of domestic surveillance by confirming the illegality did not implicate our electoral system.
We simply cannot survive as a constitutional republic with this level of abuse and corruption. God help us.
And speaking of Admiral Rogers…. whatever happened to him?
Retired.
I think this article is absolutely correct. They all knew, and now we know.
We have always known, this is not really new news just confirmation of what we knew deep down to be true.
“Everyone knew… And they could not let Trump win reelection.”
Which means they will also fight hard to prevent any serious election fraud from being uncovered.
This crew didn’t step in a little dog poo on the grass. They jumped into the sewer, and they are going to swim for a while.
If Barr thinks he’s preserved institutional reputations he’s an idiot. This has destroyed the credibility of multiple institutions. And serious harm to the United States.
Exactly! The FBI and DOJ cannot be reformed, they must be shut down.
Perhaps I don’t get it and perhaps this is playing devil’s advocate, but Sundance –
If EVERYONE knew, that must include President Trump. We The People knew almost from the get go (indeed, our understanding of DC corruption is what made MAGA viable), and reports that PDT was informed about ObamaGate (at least, that Deep State thugs were spying on him) emerged, if I recall, before he was even inaugurated. From our vantage point here in the bleachers it seems inconceivable that everyone knew except the Lion in the Oval Office.
And yet, Team Obama (aka Deep State corruption) was never removed, no one fired. Yes, Comey was fired, but why were the rest allowed to remain to spread their cancer? Had Obama inherited a Team Trump Deep State we can be certain they would’ve been shown the door long before Jan. 20. Many in media have led us to believe the President’s apparent decision to keep the Deep State bad actors in place was part of a grand 4D chess strategy – which we now know cannot be true. So the question remains: why was the overthrow of the United States of America – the diabolical Nov.3 election theft and installation of an enemy junta – allowed to happen? If WE knew Barr was stalling in 2019 then of course the President knew. So: why?
We realise there is extremely much that still Makes No Sense Whatsoever yet, but it’s also obvious We The People are not being told the whole truth about many critical issues and events. Many of our questions now centre around the extent the Deep State is, or isn’t, using mafia techniques to silence, threaten – or even kill – opposition to the Junta. How did this possibility influence President Trump’s decisions both before and after the election steal? Our suspicions are getting worse by the day.
The whole American Political system is rotten to the CORE from top to bottom as are all the Alphabet organs of state
Four comments:
KaweahKid, Trump did not have a team of loyalists who had been with him for years and familiar with running government agencies to nominate or hire. He had to rely on the party faithful to staff his new administration.
He only had a couple of months to do this. His mistake was rationally thinking that since he had defeated the shoo-in Hillary, the party would help him. He has admitted he didn’t know how deep the corruption went. The Bushes had run the republican party, state and federal since Bush I. They didn’t want any of their shenanigans exposed. No elected official in D.C., the lobbyist and the intel agencies wanted to be shown for what they were.
They hadn’t managed to throw the election, but they were going to keep him from exposing them. They almost did, and only Trump’s sheer will and determination kept him fighting. A little help from Dev Nunes and the few that joined him kept him in office.
Very true!
It all serves as the sine qua non of “the game is rigged”…
DOJ Is Reportedly Investigating Ex-Trump Official Kash Patel Who Debunked The Russia Collusion Narrative
https://dailycaller.com/2021/04/16/kash-patel-fisa-russia-investigation/
I remember how Joe Digenova and Victoria Tensing were on Lou Dobbs’ television show lauding Bill Barr, that he would get to the bottom of everything and clean it all up.
I wonder now why they thought so highly of him.
Every nano-second of this travesty, every person involved, every lie, deceit, criminality, cover-up and seditious act, was done for one reason…to cover for and keep intact the “legacy” of the person at the top who ordered it. Because if President Historic First™ was brought down, they all knew that he would have brought the entire Swamp down with him.
Have people not figured this out yet? Barr was a “PLANT” they got Barr to write a pro-Trump hit piece against the left, then assumed Trump would pick Barr as Sessions replacement. Then Brr used stall tactics with great BS lines for the next two years.
Excellent, Sundance!
Thanks to your meticulous and exhaustive work so many more know the truth. The facts of corruption are undeniable. The failure of the justice system is undeniable. Understanding this, how will we the people act? How do intelligent, committed, fair people act publicly and privately to promote those basic values and ideas of liberty and justice for all? The vast intelligence gathering used against we, the people, presents a challenge. The deeply corrupt legal system, law enforcement and judicial, enables and assures the continued corruption. The “ethical commissions” enshrined with the power to prosecute the evil in the legal system are obviously compromised, also. And, since these commissions work in secret, the public knows little of the extent of the corruption except, of course, for their very own pitiful and expensive (financially and emotionally) contacts with “the system”. Will there be an underground system of leverage meting out crude justice? Or does that already exist?
Remember Lois Lerner from the IRS pleading the fifth. Again no one was held accountable. The federal government is out of control. They have mandates tied to all federal tax money flowing back to States. Defund the police, sanctuary cities and states. The republic is already lost. The people within are compliant.
It’s real simple.
If the mafia had bought off more politicians, the doj, the intelligence community, and had the msm touting the kingpins as legitimate businessmen, they would exist extensively in every state.
The answer to everything else is, just as SD has repeatedly stated, everyone knew, they still know, and, those that are in line to replace them know.
Those that know, but refuse to keep quiet, have the brunt of the lawfare group with their endless resources (our tax dollars) out to destroy them.
I’ve always wondered how Obama, who served only once as a Senator, so quickly become such a deep Deep Stater with so much power. He blew Hillary and all her connections completely out of the water—lock,stock and wine bottles. Why was he so totally accepted? Did the radical left view him as a totally controllable useful idiot as they now view Biden? Did the radical left apply the same BLM type standards to him that they use today (throw money his way with the promise of millions more once he left office in order to prostitute himself to satisfy their goals)?
was Trump so hated because he couldn’t be bought, because he had a moral compass ( though like any successful businessman, it occasionally had to be put back in its case to buy a corrupt city official who was illegally withholding approval) or was it because he was far smarter than all of them combined (mind you, I’m saying smarter, not more sinister and more devious)?
All of this corruption to stop 1 man DJT. Think about it.
They were all worried about their reputation and complicate with all the evil
No one is above the Law . It is time, we as MAGA supporters have been threw enough
DC needs to be exposed and punished.
As Trump often said, it was not about him. It was and is and has always been about stopping We the People who believe in the American experiment of liberty and justice for all and represent what could be the most formidable enemy of their power/wealth-grabbing ~ if we could get organized, coordinated and prepared with strategic tactics.
How was Grenell able to get so much released?
He was a temporary appointment loyal to Trump. He didn’t require confirmation by Mitch since he had recently been confirmed Ambassador to Germany.
Don’t forget AG Sessions……he is on the list of people who conspired against the DC Outsider – P. Trump.
Such an admission would lead to an unrecoverable collapse in institutional integrity. That is why the entire IC apparatus aligned against the declassification.
Institutional integrity disappeared long before Trump. I think it became noticeable during the first Clinton administration (Hillary’s FBI files). All pretenses were dropped and they went full rogue during Obama’s administration.
The institutions need to be exposed for what they are and burnt to the ground.
They will never work as long as those controlling them are political appointees. A criminal elected or installed in the presidency is going to appoint criminals, or at least people who will look the other way to administration criminality.
They can’t be fixed with bondo as SD pointed out years ago. They need to be rebuilt from the ground up with new control mechanisms in place. We don’t need the FBI in its current form. It should only be used to aid state law enforcement with technical help.
Fire is the best disinfectant.
I believe The Patriot Act and the total power it confirmed on the intel agencies was what led to many of the abuses. They were bad enough before they were given this mandate.
