Yesterday, we noted the curiously random set of coincidences taking place amid an internecine DC judicial system {GO DEEP}. The network of DC relationships, specifically judges, connected to prior Main Justice DOJ, FBI and FISA Court activity could not be as random as the process defenders would claim.
The latest revelation came from the “random” civil case assignment of Carter Page -v- James Comey. The case was reassigned to Judge James Boasberg, who held a major conflict of interest in the specifics of the Carter Page lawsuit against James Comey {Again, Go Deep}.
Today, perhaps partly in response to the sunlight provided by the extensive background; or perhaps related to the reality that Boasberg could not possibly sit as the judge in the lawsuit; the Carter Page case was again reassigned. However, this time it is not the reassignment that draws attention, it is the reassigner, the Chairman of the Case Calendar and Case Management Committee, Rudolph Contreras:
As we can see, the civil case has been reassigned from Judge James Boasberg to Judge Timothy J Kelly, that’s good.
There was no way for Boasberg to sit as the judge in this case given his connections and rulings on prior cases like the (1) James Comey memos, the (2) case against Kevin Clinesmith; and (3), the fact that Boasberg was a FISA court judge, and he personally approved the June 29, 2017, FISA warrant against Carter Page – which was constructed by fraudulent manipulation of the underlying affidavits. There are massive conflicts for Boasberg in all aspects of the Carter Page civil suit against James Comey.
However, it is also interesting to see the name Rudolph Contreras appear again. The DC judicial system is getting very interesting with all of the sunlight upon it. Specifically, in this instance, the role of the FISA court in the controversial Fourth Branch of Government {Go Deep} is starting to make a lot more sense.
You may remember, on November 30th, 2017, Mike Flynn signed a guilty plea; ostensibly admitting lying to special counsel investigators. Flynn took this plea because his son was being threatened for prosecution by the Weissmann-Mueller team. The 2017 plea was accepted by Judge Rudolph Contreras; who was/is also a FISA court judge.
The public finds out about the Flynn plea the following day, December 1st, 2017. Immediately after that guilty plea, literally 24 hours later, we first learn of Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and Bruce Ohr. All three people connected to the background of the Trump-Russia investigation were removed from their official duties and suspended inside the FBI and Main Justice.
Lisa Page was the legal liaison assigned to FBI Director Andrew McCabe by the DOJ National Security Division. Peter Strzok was the lead FBI Counterintelligence Division agent assigned to the Trump-Russia investigation (aka Crossfire Hurricane); and Bruce Ohr was the #4 person in Main Justice inside the DOJ National Security Division.
A few days later, on December 3rd and 4th, the first batch of text messages between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok were released to the public showing an extensive background discussion about the targeting of Donald Trump and the inner-workings within the FBI and DOJ that related to their corrupt investigation.
Two days after the text messages were released, on December 7, 2017, Judge Contreras “was recused” from the Michael Flynn case without explanation:
The Contreras recusal always seemed sketchy. The key question was: If the conflict existed on December 7th, wouldn’t that same conflict have existed on November 30th, 2017 when the plea was accepted?
What we did not know in December of 2017 was that inside the text messages of Lisa Page, and lead FBI Counterintelligence investigator, Peter Strzok, were outlines of a personal relationship between Peter Strzok and FISA Court Judge Rudolph “Rudy” Contreras. We do not find out about the Contreras relationship until March 16, 2018, when more texts were released and a lot of texts were unredacted.
[IMPORTANT SIDEBAR – Keep in mind the Mueller-Weissmann special counsel was in control of these text messages, the redactions within them, and when they would be released. THIS IS KEY. The Mueller special counsel kept a lid on the damning texts until *after* they got the Flynn guilty plea, then they released them with redactions… and then later -as they accomplished more objectives- the special counsel then removed the redactions and re-released them. The Weissmann-Mueller crew was in charge of Main Justice for anything that related to the Trump-Russia investigation, and everything involved the Trump-Russia investigation.]
We discover in March 2018 that Lisa Page and Peter Strzok discussed the FBI agent needing to talk with “Rudy” about the Crossfire Hurricane case and the use of the FISA court to gain their Title-1 search warrants. Agent Peter Strzok noting he would likely have a casual conversation in a “social setting” at a “cocktail party” with Judge Contreras about the overall Trump-Russia investigation. In hindsight, it became obvious the December 2016 recusal of Judge Contreras from the Flynn case was due to the unstoppable public release of these text messages.
Judge Contreras was appointed to the FISA Court court in May 2016. The FISA court eventually approved a Title-1 Surveillance Warrant against Trump campaign aide Carter Page on October 26th, 2016, essentially placing the entire Trump campaign under FBI surveillance.
The authorities within the Crossfire Hurricane surveillance was used against incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The FBI agent questioning Michael Flynn in January 2017 was Peter Strzok. The judge presiding over the sketchy Flynn plea, an outcome of that interview, was Strzok’s friend Judge Rudolph “Rudy” Contreras. Therein lies the conflict.
From the text messages, we discover conversations in July of 2016 between Lisa Page and FBI Agent Peter Strzok where they talk about using the FISA court (FISC), and the relationship between Strzok and Rudy Contreras might be an issue for their use of the court for Title-1 search warrants. Ironically they were predicting the kind of recusal that eventually materialized in 2017.
The recusal of Judge Contreras in the Flynn case resulted in Judge Emmett Sullivan being assigned. We all know the FUBAR that fiasco turned into when it became obvious the Weissmann special counsel was manipulating evidence, hiding Brady material favorable to the defense, and attempting to proceed with a fraudulently based prosecution of Flynn, based on fabricated evidence. The entire Flynn prosecution boiled down to the definition of “sanctions”, I digress.
The bottom line was – once the Page/Strzok texts were released by the special counsel (which they withheld until they achieved the Flynn guilty plea), Judge Rudolph Contreras recused ‘was recused’ from the Flynn case.
[NOTE: Because the “Rudy” relationship to Strzok was not publicly visible in the texts until March 2018; yet Contreras recused himself less than a week after the plea in December of 2017; it can reasonably be assumed that someone from the special counsel team told Judge Contreras about his mentions in the text messages after Judge Contreras took the guilty plea.]
Now, we go back to today and Judge Contreras as Chair of the Washington DC Calendar and Case Management Committee. By “random assignment” Contreras notes the civil lawsuit Carter Page -v- James Comey has been reassigned away from James Boasberg who was the previous presiding judge on the FISA Court.
Who is the current Presiding Judge on the FISA Court?
…wait for it:
You just can’t make this stuff up folks.
On the positive side, I now realize something -with a bit more clarity- that I did not emphasize enough before….
The Fourth Branch of Government has their own judiciary. It’s called the FISA Court.
I’ll hold firm, THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES.
BUT…there is a lot of corruption.
ETA: and A LOT OF EVIL.
That is illuminating Sundance. The FISA court IS for the 4th branch. I bet Lisa (horse face) and Pete (little Satan boy) are happy to see old “Rudy”!
Mr Ed has nothing on that lying skank
Kind? Of what?
[shudder……..]
Unfortunately this all appears to be just a show at the Kabuki Theater in the Potemkin Village.
Sundance RULES. He speaks and the 4th Branch listens.
God bless Sundance and the Tree House.
In politics, nothing should be attributed to chance which can be explained by malice.
The level of corruption throughout Deep State is so total they have backups for their backups.
Hanbun, Whether or not you are the original author of the chance/malice observation, it is insightful, brilliant and–most importantly–true. Thank you.
And thank YOU Sundance. What a treasure you are and how lucky we are to have you on our side. God bless and keep you.
Yeah, but they’re also so f^cking stupid up there.
The FISA court in the most unconstitutional abomination to ever crawl out of the DC swamp.
It only makes sense that a group this corrupt would have their own judges. We sure saw it on display with Michael Flynn
Not true – I can think of a couple far, far worse.
Yes, the Fourth Branch has it’s very own “Star Chamber” in the form of the FISA Court.
How nice.
I think I just threw up a little….
Many have forgotten, or never learned the history of the Star Chamber had direct influence on the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
But the Bill of Rights is just so 18th century. And like…White guys wrote it.
Just like the leftists to go straight to ad hominem rather then debate on ideas they know they cannot win against in an honest forum.
On an architectural history side note….. the original carved beam ceiling of the ‘Star Chamber’ at the palace of Westminster, which gave the name to the chamber due to it’s geometrical “star” like designs, was salvaged during the chamber’s 1806 demolition and in 1836 installed into a salon at Leasowe Castle which now is a hotel and popular wedding venue. It’s up on the Wirral Peninsula by Merseyside. It makes a pretty design with the carved thistles and roses.
It would funny to take one’s wedding vows in that room as the bride and groom would be nervous enough!
Kangaroo Courts are nothing new, just look at the Hague against the Orthodox Christian Serbs who were fighting NATO & their Muslim Merc war criminal terrorists
Yep, you can’t make this sh*t up! Kelly is tied into the Senate.
Timothy James Kelly (born 1969)is a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and former chief counsel for national security and senior crime counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I doubt they have enough sense to not overreach.
Such audacity and hubris is not new and neither are the consequences as history attests repeatedly.
What kind of a son would let his father take the fall for him? If President Trump didnt pardon him Flynn would have been hounded the rest of his days. All because he wanted to protect his adult kid. Could it have turned out any worse if he didnt sign that plea? Im in the minority I know but Flynn is no hero of mine- he got his ass in a crack by being sloppy. Sloppy is unforgivable in an officer retired or not.
Father framed and adamant in defense. So son framed too to pressure innocent father to capitulate to protect innocent son.
No guilty person letting innocent person take fall.
Only guilty people involved are FBI framers, evil prosecutors and corrupt judges.
I’d do whatever it takes to protect either of my sons from evil government tyrants or evil of any kind. Full stop.
His son is an innocent. He committed no real crime of any sort. Nothing they could say would ever change my mind! I’d never let my sons offer me comfort at the cost of their discomfort.
Mike’s question is backward; what real father wouldn’t, is the real question?
I believe the son had a new baby on the way at the time. Of course, that was one of the excuses Boasberg used to give Clinesmith, an expectant first time father, a BS wrist-slap sentence as he did not want the baby to not have a daddy in the big bad jail.
I have probably been around a lot longer than you and have seen a lot of good fathers sacrifice more than just their freedom for their children, some lost their lives. Flynn will always be remembered as a hero and the people who set him up as double crossing scum bags.
I wonder if those criticizing LG Flynn have put their lives in the breach in defense of their country as he has many, many times.
Flynn is a soldier and patriot and more than being a simply commendable example. However, there is a time to fight and that time is when it is being being given divinely and reciprocally being taken advantage of. How did our founding fathers react to government oppression?
Show me the man, and I will show you the crime. No one can withstand a star chamber.
Except President Donald J. Trump.
He got his ass in a crack because he took an interview with the head of counter-intelligence of the FBI. This was while he was the National Security Director. The description of both those jobs involves protecting this country from terrorist attacks, espionage attempts, and keeping major American cities from going up in a big mushroom cloud. He expected Strzok to take that job seriously. Instead, what happened was that Flynn was investigated under a 200 year old law that has been used twice in our nation’s history and never successfully.
He was arrested because Strzok was more interested in being a libtard that protecting this country. He was nearly successfully prosecuted because we hire folks that have no spine and can’t frame a narrative to save their life. Flynn’s firing was the defining moment of the Trump presidency. Once he did that, the deep state knew that they could kick him to their heart’s content.
I would not only take a prison term to protect my son i would die for him. MIKE IN TRUCK FU
All swamp rats are corrupt. This is interesting, and by your dubious tone you understand they’ll just pick another corruptocrat to protect the family fiefdoms aka the rats nest.
The Sodom & Gomorrah story fits rather well for our nations capital. “…spare them if 10 righteous people can be found”. That would be a challenge with the swamp.
Also brings to mind the story of Diogenes.
Doubtful a modern day Diogenes could find that many honest men or women in DC proper who weren’t just visiting.
There were on Jan 6, but they went home of were jailed.
There are precious few in that Satanic City of the Damned who don’t deserve to be turned into a pillar of salt.
I’m thinking….
I totally agree with this analogy. Thanks for posting it.
Rudy is going to need to recuse himself too. If not Page’s lawyers should be all over it. Not sure if there is a judge that wouldn’t have to recuse themselves for this case. Seems like they were all complicit. Swamp is gonna swamp.
Page is part of the scam and probably paid well for his involvement.
Judge Contreras doesn’t need to recuse himself this time. Judge Kelly is the newly assigned judge. Judge Contreras signed the reassignment notice. In sum, thanks to Sundance, Judge Contreras saved Judge Boasberg’skin.

Seem like there’s a little “Wink, Wink, Nod, Nod,” going on… no?
Yah. Particularly the “Randomly Reassigned” and reassigned and ….all at random.
Musical chairs.
Thank you! Very informative. And disheartening.
More sunlight please Sundance. Keep them coming and paint those targets.
FISA court judges compromised—-> Chief Justice Roberts who oversees FISA court also compromised.
I’m curious to know if military tribunals will come into play, at least when PDT comes back and ditches milley and austin. Hate to wait that long.
This…
Team Fed has an incredibly deep bench of hack judges.
Judge Boasberg was more than willing to pull-off the scam when he thought nobody was looking. It’s amazing how quickly he shuffled the case off to another judge as soon as someone noticed!
Because they noticed and acted to remove Boasberg, does it mean they read CTH?
I havent read such a brilliant expose anywhere else.
I bet they do
Wonder if Chief Justice Roberts reads it?
Interesting in light of what we now know about Comey, & the FBI/CIA/Democrat coup. Of course we now that CNN is a lying anti-american pos
First on CNN: Comey now believes Trump was trying to influence him, source says
https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/19/politics/james-comey-trump-influence/index.html
oh dear god
Comey
Lyin sack
Don’t flatter yourself, Comey…
That’s dated May, 2017
Paint me suspicious of Judge Timothy J Kelly, who was confirmed in June 2017, his nomination was by a vote of 94–2.
I’m old enough to remember when two votes against reminded people of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.
This reassignment is designed to provide judicial fairness, just like the earlier reassignment.
Wonder how long before Kelly starts prosecuting Page?
The communists are inside the walls and sabotaging everything.
The goal to remove Flynn was accomplished.
Why would the FISA Court concern itself with text messages or law for that matter. THEY do what they want when they want how they want.
At this time What difference does it make. Will judicial suddenly say, oops our bad, let’s make it right? Cold day in hell.
Seems Treepers are looking for an ah ha moment that makes right…that’s not gonna happen.
Might makes right and might of federal government is winning against us.
While I can see your point, I would vehemently disagree on might makes right.
History and the Bible itself contradict that.
Right makes might.
People only need to stand up and fight for what’s right and not surrender in the face of any odds to bear that out.
How exactly that will be resolved, I can only speculate.
Will it be righted? Unknown
Will the facts be told? Yes
“The Fourth Branch of Government has their own judiciary. It’s called the FISA Court.”
End the infamy. Abolish secret court proceedings.
Christian Warren: I second the motion. The FISA Court is an abomination. So is the Patriot Act.
Motion has been seconded – All in favor vote “Aye”
AYE!!!
“The Fourth Branch of Government has their own judiciary. It’s called the FISA Court.”
This should be tweeted out
I wish Poso would
I think we can go out on a limb here and posit that if you’re on that court and pretty much in any court in that tri state area you are as swampy as the potomac.
Ad rem: why is my 5:43 PM comment awaiting approval? Maybe the typo in my last name?
Those FISA judges that were not directly involved in the attempted coup against President Trump knew about it and by keeping that information from the public they were aiding and abetting that coup against the president. They all should’ve been rounded up and tried in a military court.
Brenrod: Can’t do that. Too many cocktail parties and country club memberships on the line. Plus, there are mortgages to pay on the lake houses.
Roberts!
Judicial puppet master jumping to someone else’s tune.
oh my god… the turtle emerges
Wow. The web.
Name names. Show pics. Hold accountable.
@sundance great analysis, as usual
Just once I’d love to read your post and the ending sentence say something along the lines of “…and that your Honor is why the defendant is guilty as hell!“
All the DC Judges were involved in some part of this, or are connected to people who were. Move this case into flyover country.
Not a lawyer here…..I have more respect for Shakespeare than any ESQ.
So is a change of venue not allowed in civil cases? Provided that’s the case, why not file in federal court as a civil rights violation, get a change of venue & sue for damages?
Lesko Brandon FJB

Does anyone know the nature of the “Calendar Committee”?
Timothy James Kelly was nominated by President Trump to United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, He replaced Judge Rosemary M. Collyer. Of note he was the former chief counsel for national security and senior crime counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Interesting connection to the Senate judiciary Committee. I’m curious if he had any role during the prosecution’s “sweet heart deal” with James Wolfe in order to protect certain Senators?
Congratulations, Sundance. You give new meaning to the word ‘persevere’.
Any second now, ex-Chief Laufman will make another appearance, depend on it.
It is sad that what few prosecutors, lawyers, politicians and journalist we have in this corner of reality can’t pony up a few bucks to hire a few dedicated staff to make use of the massive amount of crowdsource and individual intelligence, like this that is already out there.
It’s almost criminal. Kind of like everyone knows that the leadership of the Republican party along with at least 13 in the House and quite a few more in the Senate are CONTROLLED by the deep state and yet not a single word is said about the mechanism that controls them. And everyone knows it’s not just donors, lobbyist and the press.
Sure they’ll raise tons of money and run on the America First agenda but as soon as they get elected they submit.
None of this is fixable until the blackmail is exposed.
Every One Is Blackmailing Everyone.
I kinda forgot to mention that the bulk of the blackmail probably comes from the weaponized IC, FBI, DOJ etc.
But you all knew that already. Then there’s the Treasury the banks and the anti social media to name a few .
What we need is the paper trail. for it all.
Sundance, you are just so bright. Thank you for all your brilliant, clear explanations. Extraordinary!
Blow it all up…Burn it all down…All in the DC Intelligence Community are complicit or duplicitous in the corruption & criminality. FBI, DOJ, CIA, FISA Court…it matters not if they participated knowingly in the coup, or if they stood on the sidelines and kept quiet. Fire them; revoke their pensions; and extend the most punitive & harshest punishments available in the Law for American Justice. This can never be allowed to happen in America again…ever.
GOOD vs. Evil. LIGHT vs. Darkness. TRUTH vs. Lies. LIBERTY vs. Tyranny. GOD vs. Satan. WeKnow!!!
We may have lost rule of law to blackmail, violent threats to family members and personal intimidation, forever.
There is a reason South American and Central America never changes or gets better.
The only shot a nation/peoples/populous has to regain rule of law is to cultivate huge militarized forces made up of young men with no spouses or children yet who are willing, on their own without any incentive other than appreciation for the concept of rule of law, to put it all on the line over many decades, and use non stop, unrelenting, lethal force against all corrupt and criminal foot soldiers and organizational leaders. And the society has to allow such a force to operate with impunity with that mandate.
And that almost never , ever, happens; thus why once a country becomes a shit hole it always stays a shit hole.
My mind is slow today. So why would Herr Mueller/Weissmann release the Strzok/Page texts at all ?
Because the removal of Page, Strzok, Ohr etc. was going to come out. The DOJ knew the background of the Crossfire Hurricane team would surface, so instead of crisis management they controlled all the outcomes.
No one could see it at the time, but the Weissmann crew was operating to mitigate any negative information, while simutaneously continuing the fraudulent investigation. It was all about preserving their investigative authority.
Hold back bad information. Achieve the goal, then release it.
Mitigation is what they were doing all along.
Thanks. Makes perfect sense. I would like to add it created a bit of a shiny object deflection circus too.
Right, Sundance. There was this pesky IG Horowitz – they knew he was going to release the material.
Yes, exactly….. An IG who was instructed to open the initial review of DOJ/FBI conduct on January 17th, 2017, during the Obama administration.
The Weissmann-Mueller team always knew there was an IG investigation on their periphery.
I agree it was always a cover up. An they are still doing it today. 1/6/20 insurrection.
So the 4th branch has its tentacles inside the other branches (like controlling the Senate intel committee for ex.)
Or maybe the Executive branch and the 4th branch are one in the same, although the roles have reversed and the executive has been captured.
Who controls the 4th branch? It can’t be the nominal heads of our various secret police. They’re just taking orders.
Maybe it’s time to focus on the main characters,identify them, freeze them, relentlessly.
(This would not be the first time that “spy masters” have effectively seized control of a nation.)
https://general-history.com/famous-spy-masters-through-the-ages/
“Who controls the 4th branch?”
Why, the same entity from Matthew Chapter 4 and Luke Chapter 4.
Christ told us over 2000 years ago.
He said:
“Get thee hence, Satan.”
Remind. What is FISA for….now?
Nazi Germany had a marvelously efficient and corrupt judiciary. So did the Soviet Union. Cuba and China have one today.
I think that’s what it’s for–to prop up the regime and preserve its leaders. It’s surprisingly not a new phenomenon.
We’ll have to win back control of it along with the rest of the institutions. There’s the long march, or the short one. Which route will we try?
I wonder when he will recuse himself too?
On a side note, anyone remember the mass resignations/not standing for reelection of Republicans? Democrats are now doing the same thing. Its like musical chairs to con the people into thinking they have choice, and they have power.
How about restitution for Gen. Flynn and certainly Carter Page, too. My guess is we’ll have to wait for the millennium. The 4th branch might want to recheck their liabilities.
So where does John Roberts fit into this corrupt and disgusting pile of garbage? FISA judges are chosen by the Chief Justice.
Might be time to make all 11 of them famous; research who they are and what their backgrounds are.

It’s quite possible that Peter Strozk purposely talked to Judge Rudy Contreras and left a text message trail to purposely get the judge to recuse himself from the case and then have the case reassigned to the bought and paid for hack Judge Emmit Sullivan.
It was through the same kind of corrupt and underhanded tactics they got the elf Jeff Sessions to recuse.
Who could forget that face? This is the same Judge Contreras presiding over Gen Flynn case – then recused himself when PDJT pardoned Flynn. But he also was the guy Strzok and Lisa discussed in FOIA text messages… Remember: “Rudy is on the FISC! Did you know that?” Page texted Strzok on July 25, 2016. “Just appointed two months ago.” “I did,” Strzok replied. “We talked about it before and after. I need to get together with him.”
In politics, there are no coincidences… only consequences…
Interested in seeing how the swamp monster reacts to this beam of light…
I keep thinking that FISA court and judges are somehow directly responsible to SCOTUS.
Perhaps I’m wrong. But, isn’t the whole federal court system – district judges, appellate courts, and odd outfits like FISA all somehow subservient to SCOTUS?
If so, I would hope that SCOTUS is not be limited to to only reviewing appellate case decisions, but can take, or initiate, some kind of action for obvious judicial abuses by lower federal courts.
The SCOTUS has allowed a unconstitutional secret court to stand with little more than a pinky swear that it would not violate the Fourth Amendment. It is inconceivable that the SCOTUS does not know that this court system has been weaponized by the Fourth Branch with the DoJ, FBI and IC planting evidence, falsifying reports, and lying under oath.
US citizens who dare to oppose the Fourth Branch are framed, arrested and convicted under full oversight by the SCOTUS.
Pretty clear who is wagging the dog.
who is Judge Timothy J. Kelly
In 2003, Judge Kelly joined the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia as an Assistant United States Attorney, where he prosecuted a variety of offenses, including serious violent crimes, drug trafficking, and white-collar offenses. In 2007, he joined the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section. For his work prosecuting public corruption cases there, Judge Kelly received the Assistant Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Washington Field Office Service Award.
From 2013 to 2017, Judge Kelly served as Chief Counsel for National Security and Senior Crime Counsel to U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley, as well as Staff Director on the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control.
Judge Kelly is a former Treasurer of the District of Columbia Bar’s Criminal Law and Individual Rights Section Steering Committee.
