Everything about this interview is a case study in lies, manipulation and media attempts to cover for their corrupt ideological allies. If the background issue wasn’t so serious, it would all be a little funny. MSNBC propagandist Rachael Maddow interviews former FBI special agent Peter Strzok about the arrest of dossier source Igor Danchenko.
One funny aspect… notice the video begins with Peter Strzok testifying about the importance of the FBI investigating the campaign of Donald J. Trump. Then, notice the and of the interview Peter Strzok says any claims the FBI investigated the campaign of Donald J. Trump are false. Strzok and Maddow don’t even see themselves, kinda funny.
Throughout the interview, Strzok attempts to carefully distance the Steele Dossier from the FBI and FISA application. That is how Strzok attempts to push away the importance of Igor Danchenko, the source of the information in the FISA application used by Strzok to conduct surveillance on Trump. The interview is akin to watching two kids with blue hands, blue lips and blue cheeks attempting to say it wasn’t them who ate the blueberry pie.
.
Another hilarious point inside the argument of Rachael Maddow is one you can see if you stand away from the nonsense. The point by Maddow, in her weird effort to point a finger at Durham’s lengthy indictments of the participants so far, is essentially: Was the FBI STUPID or was the FBI CORRUPT?
Strzok and Maddow are claiming within their argument, while not saying it openly, the FBI were stupid and tricked by false and manufactured evidence. Strzok even says in the interview, despite the FBI inability to prove information in the Steele dossier, “we could not disprove it either.” Think about that.
Peter Strzok defends himself by saying…. We could not disprove the Danchenko allegations, so we put them in a FISA application and swore to the court they were true and verified. When ‘yer in a hole, stop diggin’ Pete.
What strzok meant was that the fib WOULD not prove it….
The allegations were false and FBI knew that….they also knew the source and the conduit for the disinfo…they were in on the attempted coup and and were integral part of it….as was Richard Maddow.
If there is a provable attempt at a coup, does that prove an attempt at sedition? Is there a stature of limitation on sedition?
Hes saying they operated on guilty till proven innocent the POS.
“Was the FBI STUPID or was the FBI CORRUPT?”
Both?
Hanlon’s Razor: “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”
Corollary: don’t rule out malice.
These people were crazy like a Fox, while we may believe they were “stupid” they knew the score from the outset. Definite Malice.
They knew that Clinton and Obama wanted them to do what they did.
The FBI is far from stupid.. They have every tech tool at their disposal… The FBI can use any tool they want to dig up anything on anyone they want.. The entire department is corrupt from the top down!
They knew it was all lies But they had to get Trump out at all cost according to Strzok’s mistress and they have that on tape.. they went nuts arresting all of Trump allies that helped him get elected.. The feds are out for blood when it comes to Trump and his supporters too..!!
Right. Andrew McCabe said: “First we F*** Flynn. Then, we F*** Trump!” They knew what they were doing.
I don’t think the 2 are mutually exclusive…
We are dealing with the head of “counter-intelligence”. He is supposed to be shrewd, devious, cunning and strategic. Don’t believe a word he says. He is basically a spy so everything that comes out of his mouth is de facto suspect and said to deceive and has a purpose that is not obvious.
Strzok is third generation CIA. Calling him “FBI” when the FBI as it was has no longer even existed for decades is almost deliberately misleading.
He was literally a hybrid FBI/CIA agent.
Although I take your point about the FBI. They only investigate bank robberies and mattress tag violations as cover for their real job as political police.
CIA embeds their people in every agency. Would love to know why Strzok texted he received a CIA challenge coin.
All I can say is: “Lisa Page must have been desperate” ’nuff said..
Page and strzok put out the affair story themselves. It was their attempt to explain the massive numbers of calls and txts between them. This was a safer story than” we were busy using the FBI and DOJ against Trump.”
In starting to believe you’re right.
D’accord – he is such a soy boy!! Lady Treepers what do you think?
Same thing Sally Moyer and Kevin Clinesmith did.
Sleeping her way to the top…
lower middle.
Just inquiring, but are you referring to camela or page??
That’s almost certainly fake news spread throughout corporate mockingbird media as the “official” excuse why Page and Strzok were collaborating so heavily. There’s probably only a small grain of truth from their actual relationship made public.
Doesn’t that go both ways?? Does DESPERATION seek DESPERATION?
I continue to maintain that McCabe pimped her out to Strzok to control the entire investigation covertly
To be fair, he must have a thing for big gums: called her his “Gummy Bear”!
What’s also interesting to consider is how this miscreant treated his _actual_ job of counter-intelligence (CI).
He spent countless days, weeks and months texting his side-piece and plotting to overcome Obama’s political opponents.
In the mean time, the CCP, Russia, Iran and North Korea were busily infiltrating every aspect of DC. How much damage this clown caused is yet to be determined, but hinted at by the supersonic orbital missile that was likely created with stolen U.S. tech.
Take a bow, Pete, you schmuck.
Sorry your comments get held up in moderation Doug. However, I think I solved the problem. 🙂
Yay! I can post again! Thank you @adrem whatever you did.
Like most mindless ideologues, Strzok likely believes in what he’s doing like many bureaucratic underlings. The CIA grooms these people because they are useful, easily controlled assets with amoral tendencies.
Here’s the thing I’ve noticed about the whole anti-Trump “movement,” once it got started. There were Democrats who just hated him irrationally, some Repubs who were scared by him and his strong appeal to folks who hadn’t voted in years, and a whole bunch of Eastern Euros who hate the Russians, even though they were the ones who destroyed the Wehrmacht in WWII before bringing down the Iron Curtain. So, the Ukrainians and their Democrat/DC lobbyists, the Poles/Catholics (like Strzok)who’ve hated Russians/Orthodox for centuries are just a few who were happy to take advantage of this DEPLORABLE situation.
Interesting analysis especially about Polish Americans and other Eastern Europeans. What’s Interesting is that the hatred was misguided because President Trump was no ally of Russia and that demonstrates the power of news media propaganda!
2 low life pieces of shit collaborating in a continuing effort to cover up their filthy behavior.
Scum like these account for the overwhelming majority of our gov and media. I have no confidence in any assertions of the establishment. It’s not just the deep state, it’s corrupted all of our major institutions.
Just a reminder:
The FBI appears to be well aware of the problem caused by admitting they were duped. It’s really just a matter of whether or not Durham puts a firewall around the FBI/DOJ.
Optics of admitting they were duped. They know there will be no charges, and the MSM will cover for them no matter what.
While you were sleeping, the definition of sedition has been changed.
It now exclusively relates to TRUMP supporters, and ralleys. Or anything MAGA!
Excellent summary
They had years, and unfettered access to information, to uncover any “dupe”.
Using that as a defense brands them as completely inept clowns.
Not that they aren’t, but they’re a whole lotta corrupt as well…
All of the top FBI and DOJ Officials knew who Sussman was working for! To claim otherwise is crazy.
An epic pair of douche nozzles, together for the first time!!! in one television studio. And to think, I missed the broadcast.
So Mr. Smirk is relevant again with his evil eyes. He is just having a ball.
Has anybody else noticed that people named “Pete” have been lying quite a bit lately?
Not Pete Hegseth!
Wasn’t Peter Strzok a cooperating witness to Durham?
What he might be doing here is rehabilitating MSNBC. That really isn’t possible.
The FBI and their journalists have no excuse for spreading the lies they spread.
“There was never an FBI investigation of the Trump campaign” unless you listen to far right extreme commentators. Strozk tells lies of that magnitude with ease and a straight face and Madcow the “journalist” backs up the narrative. Just once I’d like to see one of these MSM people charged with false reporting. She can’t be that stupid, I suspect there is a trail somewhere that says she knows the truth. Does anyone believe Durham gets some of the higher hanging fruit, or just the serfs?
Pinocchio said:
“There was never an FBI investigation of the Trump campaign”
Pinocchio once said:
“‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’ was running through my mind, and one of the lyrics, Mick Jagger kind of swaggering and saying, ‘I was born in a crossfire hurricane.’ And I thought, ‘That’s a pretty good name.'”
This is another demonic traveler. Think about it, who names their kid Peter Strokez? Hate to bring that up, but it is in your face. This is how the demonic works. It mocks and laffs at you and tries to make you feel inferior. This government is completely taken over by the forces of ha satan. The enemy.
Father of lies at work here.
It gives one vertigo to see people such as this to have reached the positions they reached in the fib.
Despite my love of the treehouse I cannot bring myself to click on anything featuring that witch.
Could not agree more!
There is not an FBI agent who is not corrupt. The entire agency is dirty top to bottom and has been since it was created. There is no Constitutional authority for the Federal Government to have any general police powers.
It is time for the FBI to go. The Republicans could jump on the “defund the police” bandwagon and trick the democrats into going along with it.
In the bad old days(tm), news editors would have chewed off their other left arm before putting on intel agents to dizinform the public as to the Government’s Latest Official Lies(tm). Now they hire them to spout Agit-Prop between laxative commercials.
Similarly, I remember the hippie Left who hated Big Pharma. Now they suckle warm, sweet mRNA breast milk from Big Bio-Medical’s beagle-tested bosom.
The left from back in the day are all statists, now.
Ask one “what happened”, and they’ll have no clue what you’re talking about.
Peter Strzok defends himself by saying…. We could not disprove the Danchenko allegations, so we put them in a FISA application and swore to the court they were true and verified. When ‘yer in a hole, stop diggin’ Pete.
And of course we know he’s lying as they did know many things in the dossier were flat out wrong.
Kathleen Kavalec told the fbi and strozk specifically that much of what steele had told her was demonstrably false intelligence. And after they questioned Danchenko in January of 2017 they knew much more, but they went and got 3 more fisa warrants to continue spying on the Trump presidency anyway. Durham better not be covering for the fbi/doj. They weren’t duped, they were part of it, anyone with half a brain can see it. The clinesmith plea deal and the strzok and page text messages should be enough, but there’s more. There’s the fake mueller report and all the altered evidence and deleted cell phones. The edited fbi 302 reports that strzok and page actually texted about. This goes all the way up to obama and biden and maybe beyond. How many entered guilty pleas for leaking suspicious activity reports? The entire operation was planned by hillary and approved and implemented by obama and biden.
Patriotism the last refuge of the scoundrel. This was always the Comey end of the line – in an over abundance of caution we had to get the FISA warrants – even if only 1% was true – or some other Muh institutional responsibility BS. Sundance is nailing Mary McCord, what a bad actor.
For the deepest of deep state operations, you always go to the deepest of the deep staters!
What’s intriguing to me is that to unseat Richard Nixon, whose landslide victory in 1972 was one of US history’s most impressive, Deep State also went to a deepest of deep staters by the same name, i.e James. W. McCord.
This is the second article I’ve read today with the same message:
Clinton and the DNC “tricked” the FBI into investigating Trump and the FBI isn’t responsible.
It will be interesting to see how the finger-pointing exercise plays out and whether there will be no casualties, one casualty, or two.
And Pelosi tricked them into an insurrection hoax and killing a woman and on and on.
I want to live in a country where the only people that Madcow and Swivel Head Strzok are telling their stories to are their prison guards and cellmates.
Agreed. It would be funny, if it were not so despicable and disgusting.
Mueller charged unrelated process crimes to smear his targets — the Trump campaign. Ridiculous to say they were never targeted.
That was the point of Kevin Clinesmith’s crime, lying about whether he was a confidential human source in order to spy on the campaign with a fraudulent FISA warrant after their NSA access was shut down.
Durham didn’t need 30 pages to prove Michael Sussman lied about working for Trump’s opponents. He’s building a case for conspiracy. And you don’t present raw intel to the media in order to influence the government in creating a false narrative.
The FBI told everyone the Steele Dossier was likely true. Steele and his media collaborators stand by that to this day. It was used in the ICA, and to this day there’s no evidence to support its veracity.
They lied about sources, motives and just about everything you can think of on multiple occasions and from people who knew better.
The FBI presented to the fisa court lies and they knew they where lies.. They did not care if they knew they where paid for lies, They must get Donald J. Trump out of office at all cost.. According to Strzok’s own Mistress another FBI agent..! The FBI is Corrupt , they’ve went Rogue a long, long time ago before Trump was even a thought!!.. The FBI MUST be Abolished because MOST are Criminals and conduct the department like mobster’s would and they have a licenses to do what ever it takes to get their target! Abolish the Rogue and criminal DOJ..!!
Don’t buy the “duped” narrative ever. These Democommunists are constantly telling us they are the most woke, intelligent, and educated people ever.
Strzok to Page, 6/20/17: … Lisa, I’m PULLED to the mission and the (Mueller) team, for the right reasons. You saw it! You know what it is in me and that it’s pure and I’m good and you admire it! …
I wonder if Petey asked Rachael to be his wingman at the TGI Friday’s bar after the interview.
There are a ton of articles out there proving that these people knew from day 1 Trump was completely innocent . Page herself said they had NOTHING on Trump and appointed Mueller anyway .
Mueller knew from day 1 that Trump did nothing wrong , he’s one of the worst .
There was no irrational fear from Democrats. Those who knew what the real implications of his victory were, were terrified of the consequences. Those that didn’t know, were both motivated by the former and a instinctive feeling he was going to drag them out of their safe spaces and face reality. Fear yes, but very rational as it was driven by guilt and or the fight or flight reaction.
Trump destroyed their project they only delayed his. If they feared him then they must be Bidening themselves now!
His travel is restricted to the D.C. area.
If there was real justice there wouldn’t be enough firing squads to deal with these corrupt liars like Strzok. Of course we don’t do that in the USA. We aren’t that totalitarian. But you can be sure the fascist Democrats will soon enough arrive at that solution to silence their opposition.
Rachel Maddow’s Shocking New LowWith last night’s loony response to the indictment of Igor Danchenko, the MSNBC anchor takes a bold leap off the credibility cliff
https://taibbi.substack.com/p/rachel-maddows-shocking-new-low
Can we the Stzrok legal standard against the FBI and DOJ officials who tried to frame President Trump for a crime that never even happened? Stzrok and his co-conspirators are guilty if Durham isn’t able to prove their innocence?
Next Durham indictment…..my guess…….is next week!!!
This is who we are MSNBC brags, as they distort and lie, making the CIA, their programmers PROUD!
FAKE NEWS!
I have yet to hear or read of any news person, website associate, friend, enemy, etc. admit they were wrong to push Russia Russia Russia.
Just say it.
“I was wrong, and I’m sorry.”
It won’t undo the damage, but it would do a lot for their credibility moving forward.
Not gonna watch. Done watching, done reading, done talking. Just gonna pray to God for mercy and justice.
The vaunted fbi has a face and it is the face of this traitor and treasonous individual.
The most important thing Strozk said in this interview is that the dossier facts were never validated, but they were never disproven either.
That’s not how our justice system works. The seeking of evidence in search of a crime to charge one with is a new thing in our government and 3 letter agencies. It defies the constitution. And totally obliviates the rule that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
Strozk is on here for a reason, he doesn’t want people to believe there was any wrongdoing on the part of the FBI.
His claim is basically that they were misled. What does that say about the effectiveness of our FBI?
He won’t be a free man too much longer
He must be a stellar “counter-intelligence” agent to be taken in by this obvious fraud. Please. I knew this was a total fraud the moment I heard it. The whole thing was so preposterous only a traitor with a purposeful desire to cause harm to our Nation would perpetuate such drivel. Please, pee tapes. Everything about this “dossier” strained credulity and I am not an agent, but I have a working brain.
They are such liars. He is fighting for his life because he knows the axe is about to fall on the jig is up!
Remember back in January when the retired 4star general (? Stupid covid fog, I can’t remember his name. His video was all over, talking in hotel lobby at Christmas) said, “we were in there. I know we were in there, our good guys took computers. I saw photos of them.”
He intimated that they would help President Trump stay in WH. He was telling the truth about being in there at least….
