This is a great example of how the Intelligence Branch of the U.S. government now operates. Not only did the NSA conduct surveillance of Tucker Carlson’s electronic communication, but the NSA also leaked Carlson’s emails to allied intelligence media (Axios, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post) who operate as PR firms on behalf of the Intelligence Branch.
Watch this Tucker Carlson interview with Maria Bartiromo this morning:
I’ll keep repeating this for as many years as needed until people on our side finally catch-on. The most well documented, evidenced and provable example of a severely compromised Intelligence Community operation to manipulate politics and shape U.S. media is found in the story of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Security Director, James Wolfe, and his years of leaking classified information to the media.
The SSCI is supposed to be the primary oversight mechanism looking over U.S. intelligence operations and the people within them. However, the SSCI has partnered with the Intelligence Community (writ large) in a collaborative effort to (1) gain more power; then (2) retain that power. The SSCI functions as the mechanism that permits the existence of the most powerful branch of government. The fourth branch, the ‘Intelligence Branch‘.
SSCI Security Director James Wolfe was told to leak the Top-Secret Title-1 FISA warrant used against Carter Page. James Wolfe was told to leak the document to media. Wolfe chose Ali Watkins (Buzzfeed) and others. Wolfe was told to leak the FISA on March 17, 2017, by Senators in the committee, that’s why Wolfe was never prosecuted for leaking it by the DOJ.
Wolfe’s defense lawyers threatened to subpoena the senators on the committee {LINK}, and immediately the SSCI, with the help of the Mueller/Weissmann team, came to Wolfe’s rescue. They simply could not let the background story ever surface. Think deeply about the profound ramifications of that real world example.
♦ EVENT ONE – On February 9th, 2018, the media reported on text messages from 2017 between Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner and Chris Steele’s lawyer, a lobbyist named Adam Waldman. In 2017 and 2018 Mr. Waldman represented the interests of dossier author Chris Steele and Russian Billionaire Oleg Deripaska.
There was some initial media discussion of the text messages, and some eyebrows raised over why the Vice-Chairman of the SSCI would make statements saying “he would rather not have a paper trail” around the Steele communication, but generally speaking the DC media dropped the story quickly. It just didn’t fit the anti-Trump narrative in early 2018.
Unfortunately, because of the lack of media curiosity some rather elementary questions were never asked (let alone answered). Questions including: •Why were the 2017 text messages between Mark Warner and Adam Waldman captured? •Who captured them?.. and, perhaps more importantly: •why were they released?
The February 2018 story soon disappeared, and no-one ever paid enough attention to go back and see the answers to the questions….
We did.
♦ EVENT TWO – Four months after the Mark Warner texts were made public, on June 8th, 2018, another headline story surfaced. An indictment for Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Security Director James Wolfe was unsealed on June 7th, 2018.
Mr. Wolfe was indicted for leaking information from within the SSCI to four journalists; and lying to FBI investigators.
Within the indictment we discover the FBI were conducting an ongoing leak investigation throughout 2017. Within that investigation a top-secret document was transferred to the custody of SSCI Security Director James Wolfe on March 17, 2017. The details inside that document were leaked to the media.
The indictment describes FBI investigators informing Mr. Wolfe in October of 2017 about their investigation of national security leaks. In December of 2017 Mr. Wolfe was confronted with evidence of his leaking to journalists including a woman now working for the New York Times named Ali Watkins, with whom he was having a sexual relationship – implied as a possible quid-pro-quo.
Wolfe left the SSCI quietly in mid-December and resigned shortly thereafter. No-one, outside of the principle characters involved, knows about the investigation until six months later, June 2018, when the indictment is made public. [Keep this in mind]
The June 2018 media coverage of the Wolfe indictment primarily focused on the affair with Ms. Watkins and Wolfe’s lying to investigators. Headlines quickly disappeared as the case moved into the formality of legal proceedings between the DOJ and Wolfe’s defense.
No-one drew a connection between the February ’18 publicity of SSCI Vice-Chairman Warner’s text messages and the June ’18 release of the FBI investigation of Wolfe from inside the SSCI the prior year (2017).
♦EVENT THREE – Slightly less than two months after release of the Wolfe indictment, another headline story. On July 21st, 2018, the DOJ/FBI declassified and publicly released the FISA application(s) used against former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
The release was connected to a FOIA case filed by the New York Times the year prior [NOTE THIS]. There has never been a good explanation why the application was declassified and released. Despite the pre-existing NYT FOIA case, it never made sense why the DOJ/FBI did not attempt to deny the FOIA request.
The request was a FOIA for FISA information, the highest security classification possible. It would have been very easy to deny the FOIA simply because the NYT was seeking classified documents. A no brainer for shielding any release. FISA is classified “Top-Secret”. So, given the nature of the FISA application itself; and considering the DOJ had denied a similar request from congress; why did the DOJ/FBI suddenly decide it was okay to release the FISA application to the public?
[Short Answer (ah-ha moment): The DOJ/FBI knew the New York Times already had it.]
The media discussion of the FISA application release was very heavy. The story consumed a great deal of air time, print coverage and debate from the release on July 21st, 2018, all the way through to the Inspector General Horowitz report of December 2019, and that coverage continues through today. However, just like the Warner Texts; and just like the Wolfe indictment; no-one bothered to go back and connect the three component stories.
♦ Within the Wolfe indictment you’ll notice the “Top Secret” document picked-up by SSCI Director James Wolfe took place on March 17th, 2017:
♦ Within the Mark Warner text messages you’ll note the SSCI Vice-Chairman went into the SSCI Secured Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) on March 17th, 2017, shortly after 4:00pm:
♦ Within the declassified and released FISA application you’ll notice the copy date from the FISA clerk for the FISA application was March 17th, 2017:
The information within the three events (Warner Text release, Wolfe Indictment release, and Carter Page FISA release) shows the connection of the events. James Wolfe took custody of the Carter Page FISA, delivered it to the SCIF, it was reviewed by SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner, and then leaked by James Wolfe.
It was the Carter Page FISA application that James Wolfe leaked to Ali Watkins as outlined within the unsealed June 2018 indictment.
Sidebar, a fourth albeit buried public release in December 14th 2018 confirmed everything. The FBI filed a sentencing recommendation proving it was the Carter Page FISA that was leaked:
I only share the sidebar (out of chronological sequence) to emphasize there is no doubt it was the FISA application that James Wolfe leaked. (Don’t get hung up here).
This explains (slightly, but there’s a much bigger story) why the DOJ/FBI released the FISA application in July 2018, as the result of a New York Times FOIA request.
The investigators within the DOJ/FBI knew the New York Times already had the FISA application from the James Wolfe leak to journalist Ali Watkins.
It’s going to get complex and I’m likely to lose all except the most dedicated readers who can understand what comes next…..
Keep in mind when the FISA court released the application copy to Wolfe on March 17th, 2017, there was only the original application from October 21st, 2016, and one renewal from January that existed. [The release was March 17th, 2017 – the April and June 2017 renewals had not taken place.]
Additionally, within the July 2018 public release (of the March 17th 2017 copy), the FBI investigators redacted all dates relating to the copy they released to Wolfe. AND, in all subsequent releases of any information from the FBI -through the declassification process- (including the initial version of the IG report on FISA) those dates were always redacted.
There has purposefully never been a clean copy release of the original FISA application and the three renewals. Therefore there has never been a clean copy release without date redactions – which includes the FISC copy dated March 17th.
When the DOJ/FBI released their July 2018 FOIA compliant set of FISA application(s) they didn’t just print a new copy, instead they re-released the Wolfe version and then added the last two renewals.
RECAP Chronology: February 2018 release of Warner Texts. June 2018 unsealed Wolfe Indictment. July 2018 release FISA application. All three of these releases are connected to one much larger story.
Knowing that James Wolfe was caught by the FBI and DOJ leaking the FISA application, why wasn’t the SSCI Security Director ever charged with leaking classified information?
Here’s where the poop hits the fan.
Here’s the cover-up.
Here’s where another event comes in.
Keep in mind SSCI Vice-Chairman Senator Mark Warner was the impetus for the FISA Court releasing the March 17th copy; also keep in mind the purpose of the text messages between Senator Warner and Chris Steele’s lawyer Adam Waldman.
During his initial summer and fall negotiations with the DOJ, James Wolfe threatened to subpoena the SSCI in his defense. The implication was that Wolfe was directed to leak the FISA by members of the committee; and/or Wolfe was operating independently but under the assumption of alignment with SSCI members who were not adverse to Wolfe’s leak.
The investigation of Wolfe (October through December 2017) explains how and why the Warner text messages surfaced in Feb 2018. James Wolfe had contact with Dan Jones and/or Adam Waldman. FBI investigator Brian Dugan had enough evidence against Wolfe to get search warrants on his communication. From that communication Brian Dugan gained a legal warrant against Adam Waldman. The text messages that surfaced in February 2018 were from Waldman’s side of the conversations with Senator Mark Warner.
Those text messages were in Brian Dugan’s file when he turned it over to the Mueller/Weissmann probe because it touched on the Trump/Russia investigation. Weissmann and Mueller then tipped-off Mark Warner, and prompted Senator Warner to get out in front of the story about his secret and covert communication efforts to contact and meet with Christopher Steele. Thus in February 2018 the Warner texts hit the media.
The Walman/Warner texts go from February 2017 though May 2017 [SEE HERE] and encompass the exact period when Wolfe leaked the FISA application – March 2017 (with April discussion).
As the Wolfe defense team discussions with the DOJ played out throughout the fall of 2018, there was little movement; they were waiting. Then came another needed event, the November 2018 mid-term election where Democrats took control over the House.
Meanwhile, in the lame-duck congressional period Senators on the SSCI asked the DOJ to go easy on Wolfe:
Immediately after the 2018 mid-terms DC Attorney Jessie Liu dropped most of the charges against Wolfe, and he was allowed -under a plea agreement- to plead guilty to only one count of lying to investigators.
December 11th, DOJ sentencing memo [HERE], and then a very pissed-off FBI follow-up within the DOJ response to the Defense sentencing memo [HERE] dated December 14th.
In essence, after the November election, SSCI Director Wolfe was allowed to avoid prosecution for leaking top-secret classified documents; and the bigger issue was covered-up.
DAG Rod Rosenstein was in charge; the Mueller investigation was ongoing and held all operational control over the Russia investigation; and DC U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu signed-off on the plea deal.
Ms. Jessie Liu : ♦ Did the DOJ or FBI have evidence that SSCI Security Director James Wolfe leaked the Carter Page FISA application to the media?
We know the honest answer is yes.
The next follow up: ♦ Why was James Wolfe not prosecuted for that leak of classified information?
And then things would get really interesting… Consider the ramifications.
An honest answer would prove the media lied for 18 months about the content of the FISA application. They’ve had it since March 2017. That’s how the New York Times knew to FOIA it. That’s why the New York Times filed the FOIA, to use it more openly. That’s why Mueller/Weissmann released it.
An honest answer would prove the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was a participating entity in the coup effort.
An honest answer would explain why the SSCI would only approve of nominees who would not expose their activity. Remember, the CIA, FBI, DOJ, ODNI, DNI, etc. all require confirmation from the SSCI (including Chair and Vice-Chair); and the answer would highlight SSCI members were engaged in a seditious conspiracy against the office of the presidency.
An honest answer would explain how then Vice-Chairman Mark Warner’s text messages surfaced. Mark Warner entered the dragnet of the FBI investigation of James Wolfe…. and he later found out his communication was captured. THAT is why Warner got out in front of them.
An honest answer would also explain why former DOJ-NSD lawyer Michael Atkinson was recommended to become Intelligence Community Inspector General…. And why the SSCI approved. An honest answer would explain why ICIG Atkinson participated in the second soft-coup effort via the “whistle-blower.”
An honest answer would explain the unique nature of all the interests in/around Adam Schiff, Mark Warner, the House intel committee, the SSCI, the DOJ-NSD… Almost everything reconciles within the sunlight of an honest answer.
An honest answer would highlight several members of the 2016 U.S intel community oversight known as the “gang of eight” were participating in a covert effort against candidate Trump; and how most of the current Go8 members have legal exposure.
The ramifications are far reaching:
- Who and what was Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and DC Attorney Jessie Liu protecting?
- What institutional interests did Rod Rosenstein and Jessie Liu consider too stunning, too damaging, too overwhelming, to confront in their decision to allow such a weak plea contrast against such severe criminal conduct?
- Was that role the intent of putting Rosenstein into the DOJ in the first place?
- Is that why Rosenstein selected Mueller to be a special prosecutor?
- Is it even possible for the United States Dept. of Justice to conduct a trial where members of the Gang of Eight were implicated in the activity?
- How could the institutions of the United States government survive the publicity of members within the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence conspiring with U.S. intelligence as well as foreign and domestic actors to eliminate the President of the United States?
- How could the highest and most widely recognized U.S. media institutions (NYT, WaPo, CNN and more) survive exposure within that same trial. The media caught participating in a government effort (receiving leaked classified information) intended to eliminate the presidency of Donald John Trump?
The downstream consequences are quite dramatic.
That’s why the Wolfe case remains the best possible way to expose the Intelligence Branch.
The bigger question is how is any of this fixed?
It can’t be, tragically.
The UniParty serves the interests of the CoC who are in general agreement with rule by a technocrat bureaucracy headed by Intelligence.
Academia and Media are the other legs. They aren’t communist, that’s a common mistake here, if you want to prove that advocate govt ownership of all companies and land….that’s communism and the CoC will run from it and the circle breaks down.
Rather, it’s post modernist social control which is how Academia and Media agree in general terms with Intelligence.
The left believe everyone else is immoral and need their direction to live moral lives.
Simple as that.
Interesting that no other foreign country refused to recognize the illegitimate US government that is now in place. The old US government, before the coup, refused to recognize many governments due to election fraud. In many foreign governments when elections went south, rightly or wrongly, junior military officers would lead a coup.
We are going to see hundreds of thousands of new multi millionaires, all of them Socialists, and tens of millions of additional working poor. Whatever it takes, population control will be the most important issue to the World Government.
the part you are missing in your very solid analysis:
racism is in fact a form of social Marxism.
ultimately it is antithetical a US American representative democracy.
when the power concentrates in central government based on financial and other influences by private companies, foreign and domestic, and not from the citizens, it’s fascism…barely distinguishable from socialism and Marxism.
history proves both lead to the worst kinds of Marxism. behind Marxism, is not just one dictator or king, no. it’s a vast pool of private unelected Rich people who have paid their way into designing how a nation is permitted to operate, and what they will refuse to allow.
fact is, the so called intellectuals from the radical left, support the current progressive policies, because they can make quite a bit of money right now, giving a green light of approval to the agenda. this is short sighted… within a generation most so called left radical liberal intellectuals will have helped to usher in a central regime that will have no use for them.
each generation has a challenge. ours is to prevent the radicals from burning a nation to ashes for a short term profit.
these see an opportunity to live lavishly in high regard in this lifetime.
OUR generation must realize what kind of future we build for our children.
the radicals have no long term obligations.
it’s a big difference.
legacy..it matters
Indeed regit, post modernism is evolved marxism, it can really only take hold in Western societies after the Long March through the education institutions has been achieved, you have to own the kids.
The experience of a matey living and working in Laos is instructive for me, a rigid Communist country but where you can do what you like, make whatever contracts you like, tax is optional, run down and kill a pedestrian the police don’t charge you they take you to the relative’s house where for US$500 you settle the matter, end of story.
There is only one condition, don’t mess with the ruling class, their politics and their underlings. My matey believes that because day to day life there involves no badges or official interactions at all, it’s freer on the street than the USA. A surprising assessment
This is why Trump doesn’t use email.
Bill Clinton didn’t use email either.
Obama did.
Where’s his emails/texts?
you may want to talk with Julian massage before his shoots himself in the head, throws himself in in front of a train and make toilet hemlock in a level 4 security prison in the UK.
I’m sure he has some material that he held back as he suggested many times as he prepared to take on the corrupt dark state of us central government.
He’s not worried; he’s the domestic “top dog” of this cabal.
Oh, don’t ya know. Why those are housed at the almost famous Obama Presidential Library and can’t be viewed for whatever number of years.
This is the nut of it – “How could the institutions of the United States government survive the publicity of members within the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence conspiring with U.S. intelligence as well as foreign and domestic actors to eliminate the President of the United States?”
Fact check: True.
Our own government conspired to eliminate Donald J. Trump.
Our own government conspired against the tens of millions of votes of We the People (TWICE).
Our government is wholly illegitimate.
Biden is not the duly elected President.
My prayer has been a request to bring destruction down on the evil doers in our country.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:20
When you see these things look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 21:28
Our Govt’ on the left conspired with British agents to overthrow our Duly Elected President. The same British who tried to enslave our ancestors.
Overturning Election Fraud is the ONLY Agenda NowJune 29th, 2021

It was just announced on OAN that the perpetrators who assassinated the Haitian President got in by telling the staff that they were U.S. DEA.
Why does this not surprise me?
I figured he was fixing to spill some beans on the Clintons or something else & that just wasn’t acceptable. Fake outrage from our installed administration ?
I was just thinking the other day how super quiet the Clintons have been lately. As soon as I heard about the assassination I immediately thought, “This has the Clintons written all over it”. Something to do with them robbing from and destroying Haiti…https://www.africanexponent.com/post/7108-how-the-clintons-robbed-and-destroyed-haiti
Clinton Foundation and Haiti. Connection?
I’m surprised the CNN cameras weren’t there.
his spouse wife, seriously wounded was flown to Miami in record time.
I’ve reached out to “folks” asking if they have plans to meet with her and get a debrief.
this was definitely a professional hit …
it’s likely he pissed off local gangs whom he had been working with to antagonize and terrorize certain political adversaries, not to mention judges and journalists.
the dude was a real piece of work…not shedding a tear he was taken out
.but it would be interesting to find out what connection the assassins may have with the European cocaine market!
Haiti is a major hub for cocaine trafficking…and fentanyl…but mostly the nose candy.
btw…what ever happened to those Florida mercenaries that went to Venezuela ?
that story ended quick didn’t it?
America is no longer a free Republic. It is now a marxist dictatorship where the government considers lawful dissent to be evidence of a criminal act, when in fact the real criminals are in the government who are promoting this criminal behavior. If the People do not rise up and remove the traitors from all elected and appointed positions, it will only get worse for without resistance to their criminal behavior, that behavior will worsen until people are dragged from their homes in the dark of night for nothing more than wanting to restore Liberty.
Let us get one thing straight here. The majority Democrat voters are Socialists/Marxists, and believe they are voting for Socialists/Marxists. The truth actually points to their leaders teaching them one thing, and they being another. Democrat leaders are FASCISTS.
One thing I will criticize Tucker for saying is America is NOT a democracy! Like many in government and media, he routinely spews that lie which serves to support the traitors who push it. He knows better but does it anyway which is NOT acceptable from anyone, most importantly from someone who purports to be pro Liberty.
America is a representative republic, not a democracy.
America is a CONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL REPUBLIC.
NOT a Democracy.
Tucker is right – why wasn’t ANY of this cleaned up during Trump’s first term?
Before he even took the oath of office PDT knew full well that the intelligence agencies were committing crimes against him. One could quote Q and posit that Trump’s “no accountability for the Swamp” inactions were/are part of a much larger plan to ensnare them – and I am forced to conclude that that theory makes more sense than the “reality” of what we’re seeing now, but once again it feels like MAGA voters are being kept out of the loop about so very much… and passive patience is not going to remove the Junta.
I don’t think he realized the extent of it. Even if he did, how could he do it alone? And he was alone. Our government is so far gone, there is no fixing it. This is the primary reason my family and I will immediately relocate to Texas or any other state that has the courage to secede. We’re just waiting. I hope we’re not waiting in vain.
He asked Barr how many times to release information? And Barr wouldn’t do it. With no explanation.
The IC apparatus managed very cleverly to work around Trump because all other branches are being controlled by the “4th branch” the intelligence community.
Possibly why he wouldn’t take their daily talking points memo. And the press was pissed off about that one.
The first thing that happened to President Trump was Pence lied about Gen Flynn. If Flynn had stayed, things would have been different. Trump is a business man not politician; he didn’t/doesn’t have the instincts of a snake oil politician.
Exactly correct. That’s why we love him, and that’s why he was able to accomplish all the things that he DID accomplish in such a short time – because as a business man, he measures by results –
Politicians measure their ‘successes’ by how many committees are set up to talk about a problem forever and ever, with no attempt ever made to actually FIX anything.
Was Trump so helpless and weak to the point of being completely controlled by the enemies of the republic for 4 years?
Or is he a tough NY business tycoon fighter?
Hear me now and believe me later, its all a scripted movie. Listen to the “snake” story Trump has been telling regularly at his rallies since he announced in 2016.. listen to it Carefully..
I’m sure they threatened the family – that would be his weakness.
It looks more and more like our government is hopelessly and irreparably corrupted. Once we accept that the question of how to correct it must be answered. Do we rip it out and try to find a suitable replacement? Do we fire them all? Is it time to take up arms? I don’t know the answer but, I do oppose violence unless there is no alternative or in self-defense. I can suggest we take a few fundamental steps to reverse the course.
These are required:
1 – term limits on the House, if two terms is good enough for the president, same should go for the house
2 – Supreme Court appointments limited to term of 15 years
3 – repeal the amendment that subjected the selection of the Senators to direct election by the people so they are appointed by the state legislatures again with a 2 term limit
4 – fully repeal the Patriot Act
5 – Constitutional Amendment requiring a balanced budget, 0 dollar based meaning they don’t just add 5% to last years appropriations
6 – repeal the income tax
This would be helpful:
1 – single issue bills only, this will stop pork and slow the whole process down
2 – no pensions for Congress
3 – Congress covered by Medicare or they can pay for their own health care if they want something else
4 – law requiring the immediate deportation of persons in the country illegally, no excuses
5 – all judicial decisions must cite a Constitutional basis, no more activist decisions. any existing rulings without a clear basis in the Constitution must be discarded.
term limits are fine but NOT the answer…this country has an entrenched, unelected bureaucracy at the federal level that needs to gutted! WE THE PEOPLE do not need to continue to PAY for the destruction of this country which these ideologues are facilitating –these people were “the resistance” during PDJT admin and these same people are now “running the country” through their unelected positions…..
The private western central banks (Rothschilds, Rockefellers, et al) are driving the NWO, turning America into a socialist country. They tell the likes of Obama what to do and he tells JoeBama what to do. They had no influence over PDT so they had to get rid of him.
I agree it’s the embedded scum buerocrats that give the heads of these agencies the backing to do whatever they want.
None of those numbered items will ever be adopted. Save your fingers of typing them.
Time to realize America is captured and has succumbed to socialism/corporatism.
All empires come to an end and have a lifespan of approximately 250 years.
USA is no exception.
Read “The Fate of Empires” by Sir John Gubb.
No.
Problem with that is that the congresscritters have to vote for their own term limits. If they actually cared about the country, they would do that, but at this stage, I don’t think very many of them give a dam about this country or its citizens, just how much power they can hold onto, and how much of our hard-earned money they can steal for themselves and their extended families and friends.
I like your ideas but they all require federal laws be passed and signed by a POTUS. Would any Kongress consider such actions upon themselves? I doubt they would. The solution seems to lie with the power of the States, since it was the States that created the Federal government. Short of that, it will require massive bloodshed and destruction.
The NSA goals here were to leak Tucker communications so that others would not go to him as whistleblowers.
We know NSA and/or other Agencies are exceeding their authorities and yet there are no whistleblowers?
NSA mission here was successful as Tucker himself is warning folks not to communicate with him.
We need whistleblowers and they need protection. Obama et al went after them and tampered with journalists technology and communications.
We have fallen into complete corruption at this point. If it may occur, G od willing, a non-RINO be elected as president in the next term then every one in a leadership position needs to be fired on day one. Then rehire those who are warranted. Remove many of the Federal departments out of DC and into the fly over states in the first 100 days. Conduct investigations into the corruption with public trials and severe sentencing to prevent this from ever happening again.
Most of you don’t have any idea of the difficulty of replacing career government employees!
The US Government isn’t a corporation with at-will employees.
These simplistic solutions are not possible.
Get real and see the situation for what it is.
Control Congress and change the laws that make it that difficult. Remember when Ronald Reagan fired most of the air traffic controllers?
I’m with Pepper – No!!
Exactly as I’ve previously posted here, the intel and fed LE portions of the administrative state are the ones actually in charge. Most everyone in CONgress fears them because most everyone in CONgress realizes that there are so many felonies on the books these days that most anyone can be prosecuted for violating them if they are targeted for “special analysis.” They can also be smeared as was apparently planned for Tucker Carlson. Wonderfully, you have admitted former Communists like Brennan and Comey in charge of these agencies.
The full interview with Greenwald last night:
There Is No Oversight: The NSA Withheld Documents From Intelligence Committee Heads
Mar 28th 2014
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140327/08140826708/there-is-no-oversight-nsa-withheld-documents-intelligence-committee-heads.shtml
There has never been effective oversight of the NSA’s bulk collections programs, or indeed, intelligence agencies in general. There’s been a lot of noise made about this vaunted oversight in defense of programs revealed by leaked documents, but this is nothing more than a talking point.
At The Big Picture, a clip of Sen. John D. Rockefeller (then Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) discussing how oversight actually works has been posted. It’s from an interview given in 2007, about the time the FISA Amendments Act was being put together to replace the expiring Protect America Act. The amendments act, among other things, extended the length of warrantless surveillance and gave telecoms retroactive immunity for their participation in the NSA’s bulk collections.
Here’s Rockefeller explaining why, even back in 2007, intelligence oversight was a joke.
DAVIS: Reports quote administration officials as saying this is going on and it’s being done in a way to avoid oversight of the Intelligence Committee. Is there any way—
ROCKEFELLER: They’ll go to any lengths to do that, as we’ve seen in the last two days [during hearings on FISA].
DAVIS: Is there anything you could do in your position as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee to find answers about this, if it is in fact going on?
ROCKEFELLER: Don’t you understand the way Intelligence works? Do you think that because I’m Chairman of the Intelligence Committee that I just say I want it, and they give it to me? They control it. All of it. ALL of it. ALL THE TIME. I only get – and my committee only gets – what they WANT to give me.

The only “oversight” is the intel agencies oversight of the overseers (and us):
Book: Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent
In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets. The dangers spelled out in Three Felonies a Day do not apply solely to “white collar criminals,” state and local politicians, and professionals. No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.
@ 5:20. I bet Tucker is speaking about Devin Nunes.
“so many felonies on the books these days”
That they themselves voted for and passed.
“Dr. Frankenstein, I presume.”
It would be ironically amusing if it weren’t so tragic.
Poor, poor Tucker…he still thinks that America is a Constitutional Republic.
Sorry Tucker, but we are a lawless banana republic.
Cole,
Banana Republics of the present at least seem to know that there are only two sexes, that maintaining some type of law and order is good, and that churches should be allowed to help the poor.
You insult the whole of Banana Republics by comparing them to Hidin’ Biden.
Name one Banana Republic that ran on defunding the police and now tries to blame defunding the police on the opposition party. Name one Banana Republic that bailed BLM out of jail for 9 months as they murdered over 29 civilians and 4 police, but now calls a protest (where one protester was killed) an insurrection.
Hopefully, more lies of the insurrection will come out (https://markone1blog.wordpress.com/2021/07/08/lies-of-insurrection/).
They make Snowden look like a Patriotic Hero!
How this goes from here is up to us. Giving up and giving in is what the scum want us to do. There are far more of us than them. The number in our camp grows with each passing day and will continue to swing our direction as truth is delivered.
We have to play the long, local game. Not saying we do not employ law enforcement and the judiciary whenever possible – we should do that even if it is only to identify MAGA or not within those ranks. However, the current leaders at nearly every level are corrupted beyond redemption. The fish head is rotting. There needs to be funerals (not advocating intentional actions against them), illnesses and retirements. A natural human progression of the pendulum swinging back in the right direction. That takes time and dedication to eliminate the Judas Goats and outright traitors within. Continuing to use the best disinfectant (sunlight) while getting in their faces at every opportunity seems to work well. When they start with their BS – counter point them into eternity and give them no quarter or opportunity to even breathe. It needs to be a very uncomfortable thing to be a corrupter, seditionist and traitor. Their families and friends need to receive the same treatment as they are also infected. They can choose to support their corrupted family member or friend, or, act as guide to change their ways. Ostracize them all, give them no opportunity to lead or influence anything at all. Totally ignore any order or direction they give that is not scripturally supported. Do what is right first in God’s sight, then the government. If the order is not right in God’s sight, ignore it or work against it as needed. You have scripture from which to test every word and action.
Shake the government authority dust from your feet as the Lord says to do when people will not listen and ignore His commands and principles. Do this en masse and things will begin to change for the better over time. They lost their God given scriptural authority when they cheated, stole, lied, murdered, etc. to gain it. Nothing they say or do from that point is valid or of value. Resist.
EVERYONE needs to read this article.. at least TWICE.
Love you, Sundance!! Thank you for the TRUTH!
Sundance, has the Left come after you yet? If not, I’m surprised. They don’t react well to truth-telling, especially if it exposes their corruption.
The CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR of America’s intelligence communities is beyond the law and any legal comprehension. These people must be FIRED and replaced with people that have morals and virtue, but that would mean that the demorat party is disqualified from any governmental institution for sedition and traitorous activities against American citizens and our Constitution. The Washington District of CORRUPTION has become America’s greatest issue, EXACTLY what the founders FEARED!
Uncontested Corruption has consequences. The stench from this illegitimate “administration, is like an open grave. Pure Evil and the total destruction of everything decent, moral & good. The suffering & death they continue to cause will not go unpunished. They have destroyed justice here, but there is a Real Judge we will all stand before one day.
While many focus on which deep state insider has been willing to break the law and unmask Tucker, my prayers center on the good person at the NSA who tipped Tucker off that he was under surveillance.
Nonetheless, when we get the House and Senate back, we need to put the unmasker up on charges (along with those behind unmasking Carter Page).
I thought it was a fellow journalist that told him he was being spied on.
If a candidate openly talks of cleaning this up, the IC will quickly take action to prevent it. If a candidate secretly has a plan to reform this mess, it will be found out in short order and again action will be taken by the IC.
Is it possible for a presidential candidate to not say anything about their plans and still win? Oh wait that’s already happened. I wouldn’t put it past the IC to have been involved.
What we have now is a true constitutional crisis where any candidate who wants to reform government cannot openly speak of it, cannot write of it, cannot communicate or plan for it electronically, and possibly can’t trust those closest to them to even speak privately. Elections have now become a simple personality contest where republicans vote republican, democrats vote democrat, independents vote for whoever is most pleasant, and the swamp only needs a bit of fraud to pick whoever they choose.
OK then, republicans must choose a candidate acceptable to the swamp and once in office President Hyde must enlist Dr Jekyll to get things done. Who will be able to get Mr Hyde to swallow the MAGAtol pill?
Sundance, thank you for showing how one honest answer would have had a domino effect to expose these crooks.
I did as one Treeper suggested and read your report twice.
The second time it really highlighted the smug wickedness of these so-called public servants.
Where does Devin Nunes stand on all this truth?
I know he has appeared to have Trumps back and I know he was the one to let Trump know that he was being surveilled by the IC but I don’t remember what he had to say about this Wolfe situation and Mark Warner. He is himself a member of the SSCI and has to work with Warner on a regular basis.
How do you work with these people if you know the truth but do nothing about it and don’t put it out into the public daily.
Rep. Nunes is a member of the HPSCI( house permanent select committee on intelligence).
Poor guy has to work with the great grandson of Jacob Schiff.
I still hold the belief he is a good guy surrounded by bad actors. I have no way of knowing if this is true.
The Intelligence Community, the State Department, the military leadership, and the Deep State bureaucrats are united in their efforts to keep America’s attention focused East on Russia while China sneaks out the back door with the family silver and jewels.
Their Third Way pipedream, in which the United States ships its Middle Class wealth to China to help China develop and in return China moderates and becomes more Western, is a demonstrable failure. Communist China has not moderated into Western Socialist China. Instead, Communist China has morphed into Fascist China. Hard to let go of a failed pipe dream.
And the USA is morphing into a colony of China.
The safety and security of SD and family have been at risk for years. Tucker surely isn’t the only one with connections within the deep state willing to reveal the tragedy unfolding within. It makes one wonder when a blog writer must put up levels of anonymity in an attempt to stay safe from harm. (Now revealed to be futile.)
When we write here about the solution, we know what an uphill battle this has become. Ric Grennell posits the only true solution when he states that DC must be decentralized. Most of the beltway government agencies need to be relocated to Democratically controlled urban centers…true cesspools of crime, homelessness and filth. Move the FBI to south side Chicago. Move State Department to East Los Angeles. Get the players of the self licking ice cream cone known as Washington DC out and cast to places a Government entity might improve the landscape. We can keep Congress, the Executive and SCOTUS in DC, just move every single supporting agency somewhere else far from Virginia and the District of Columbia. Can you imagine how utterly boring a trip to the downtown DC nightlife will be without bureaucrats tripping over each other to get to their favorite “journalist” buying drinks for the crew?
The similarities with the fall of the Roman Empire are startling. Maybe it is true that a Democratic Republic cannot survive without revolution.
Be safe and be careful Treepers.
We still don’t know who killed Seth Rich.
We don’t have details of the Las Vegas shooting which killed 5o-60 people a few years ago.
How did Justice Scalia die?
and other things that make one go hmmmm?
Why did the DEA/CIA kill the Haitian President?
It should be no surprise that any American seeking to set up a meeting with Vladimir Putin would have their communications reviewed by the NSA. What may be criminal here is that it appears someone within the NSA leaked this top-secret information to news reporters, with an apparent motive to both smear Tucker Carlson (Russia, Russia, Russia), and to intimidate him (after all, look what happened to Michael Flynn for what he allegedly said to the FBI concerning his own innocent conversations with Russian diplomats).
Tucker’s making the most of it, but so far there’s no evidence that all of his communications were/are being monitored. Everybody’s communications are collected by the NSA, where they’re not supposed to be generally monitored except upon a FISA warrant. Their credibility and the FBI’s in following these rules has been thoroughly destroyed, but there’s been zero accountability, so far.
No one within the government appears to care about the 4th Amendment, except as a nasty procedural hoop to document around to protect prosecutions from being dismissed for violations. Still, it is heartening that someone in the loop notified Tucker, and that he has gotten out in front of it, made it into their crime, not his.
Why doesn’t TC file a lawsuit against the media organizations that received the leaked emails?
Even if the NSA can establish a legal justification for monitoring his communications, the leak of that information was illegal.
Sue the recipients and demand that they reveal their sources.
Can’t see that working unless the media outlet makes the leaked emails public. There have been suits before this against media outlets demanding that they reveal sources, and they don’t end well.
I see a couple of differences here.
I believe Chief Justice Roberts indicated last year that media possession of illegally leaked material is not constitutionally protected.
In this case, TC is not a government official like PDJT, but rather a member of the media and the material was released to what are essentially his competitors.
If, for example, the leaked material involved a story TC was working on, releasing it to his competitors would give them a business edge.
It’s like the government stealing trade secrets from Company A and giving them to Company B, a competitor.
I believe that material was leaked to the media, but that material has not been made public, the media outlet in question has not acknowledged that they have the material, and the only reason we know about it is because Tucker told us. He is protecting his source, who doesn’t want to speak publicly about it.
Tucker Carlson is figuring out that he’s not really in the club. He’s just been doing what the club wanted him to do so they have been good to him up to this point.
Tucker Carlson is figuring out that we don’t have media who are largely political and attached to the Democrats. We have media who are Traitors to this country and are attached to the communists.
Tucker Carlson is about to figure out that most of those people he thought were friends were just hanging around because they thought he might be their ticket to get inside the club.
Tucker Carlson has been a dunce.
Tucker Carlson has been willfully ignorant, enjoying his fame and money in exchange.
Tucker Carlson has been an useful idiot.
What do you say Tucker? Now that the blinders have been yanked off, what are you gonna be now?
I continue to be amazed at those who are surprised at this. Did you not see what was done with Page and two or three hops?
If Tucker wasn’t target but they leaked anyway, who else got monitored n the hops
I contact my senator from time to time, only to tell him that I will never vote for him again. He’s a classic TEA Party turncoat. Today I will email him with a link to this article. Check your inbox, Marco.
By the way, logically the US Congress will do nothing about this. Why? Because the intelligence agencies have dirt on just about every single one of them. And that’s how they maintain their control.
Just How Long Are Free Americans Going To Take It?By Ron Ewart|July 7th, 2021

Tuckers first advance into the political arena.
By outing NSA, Tucker has succumbed to the NSA primary goal, to let anyone who was thinking about whistleblowing to know they are being watched.
Biggest problem here is no whistleblowers.
Now why is that??
Solve that and you have a very good story.
