This has been one of the odd aspects to the special counsel investigation deployed under the nameplate of Robert Mueller. However, with the trial of Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann bringing more curious minds to the backstories, here’s one that few people understand.
You will remember the massive media debate in early 2018 about the FISA application deployed against former short-time Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The DOJ, at the time under the control of the Mueller special counsel for all things Trump-Russia related, wouldn’t let congress see the FISA application. Devin Nunes complained to House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Eventually a deal was struck and two members from the House Intelligence committee (democrats and republicans) and two members from the House Judiciary Committee, were allowed to go to Main Justice and read the FISA application, but not copy it. Four congressmen were allowed to go read and take notes. Trey Gowdy and John Ratcliffe represented the two republicans, and their notes formed the basis for what later was called “The Nunes Memo.”
The Democrats were not happy with the claims in the Nunes memo, and subsequently HPSCI ranking member Adam Schiff wrote the democrat version.
Both of those sets of memos then needed to be declassified, more delays, before they could be made public. For weeks and weeks, the Nunes -vs- Schiff memos were debated by both sides, with each saying their version was the truth and the other party’s version was spin and/or false. All of this was happening in January, February and March 2018.
Then, later in the summer, something really weird happened. Main Justice completely reversed position on keeping the FISA application secret, and for the first time in U.S. history a top secret classified Title-1 FISA application was released to the public (with redactions).
People were so filled with curiosity about the Carter Page FISA application that few, heck, almost no one, stopped to ask why it was released? Why the sudden secrecy reversal by the DOJ?
The FISA application was made public under the auspices of a Freedom of Information Act request from the media. However, if you were intellectually honest and curious that justification never made any sense. If there was ever a document easy to keep hidden from the public, a Title-1 top secret, classified, FISA application was that document. No FOIA lawsuit was ever going to penetrate that firewall, it was simply too easy for the government to keep hidden.
The FISA application was released over the weekend on July 21st and 22nd, 2018, a Saturday and Sunday.
Everyone quickly rushed to read the national security search warrant. Heck, no one in the public had ever seen one before. The FISA application confirmed the details of a Trump campaign official under a year of extensive surveillance and search authority; but again, few stood back and asked why it was being released. Here’s the background.
Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosensten gave testimony to the Senate in June of 2020 {LINK}. Within Rosenstein’s election year and little covered testimony, he revealed that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his main deputy Andrew Weissmann were completely in charge of Main Justice at the DOJ during the time the special counsel investigation was happening. Attorney General Jeff Sessions was recused, and DAG Rosenstein was in charge of how much power and authority Mueller and Weissmann’s team held in the DOJ.
Rosenstein testified the special counsel had full control over everything and anything related to Trump-Russia, including the Carter Page FISA application the special counsel had re-submitted for the third renewal on June 29, 2017.
Anything that remotely touched the Trump-Russia investigation was completely and unilaterally controlled by Mueller and Weissmann, including any ancillary investigation that would come as an outcome from anything to do with Trump-Russia (the SSCI leak by James Wolfe is one example).
Rosenstein also testified he deferred everything to Mueller/Weissmann and never challenged any of their requests for expanded investigative scope or authority. Rosenstein felt the special counsel was in charge, and anything they wanted – they got. As Deputy AG Rosenstein said all the special counsel operations were part of their investigative authority, and he felt he had no place in questioning, challenging or refusing anything related to their investigative authority.
Mueller/Weissmann had full control.
That June 2020 testimony was the final piece of the puzzle as to who authorized the release of the Carter Page FISA application to the public. It was Andrew Weissmann; but why?
In the background of June and July 2018, unbeknownst to the public at the time, Inspector General Michael Horowitz had just discovered that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith fabricated an email, which was used as part of the FISA application. The CIA told Clinesmith that Carter Page was working for them. Clinesmith doctored the email and told the FBI and DOJ that Carter Page was NOT working for the CIA. The exact opposite of the CIA statement to him. If the truth was known about Page working for the CIA, the DOJ would never have been able to get the second renewal of the FISA application in April 2017.
The INSD office of the Inspector General discovered the Clinesmith material lie, but at the time in June 2018 no one else knew. However, internally the Weissmann special counsel knew exactly what IG Horowitz discovered. Now they had a problem. The special counsel had renewed the application using the Clinesmith lie in June 2017.
If the search warrant application was based on fraud, the search warrant could be invalidated by the same court that authorized it. That would be a problem because the legal cases against Paul Manafort, and Michael Flynn, along with the investigations of Michael Flynn Jr., George Papadopoulos and Walid Phares were all based on evidence obtained by the fraudulently constructed search warrant.
The Weissmann special counsel had a fruit of the poisonous tree problem on their hands. When the FISA court (FISC) finds out about the results of the IG report, which will include the fabrication by Kevin Clinesmith, the FISC could revoke and invalidate the authority of the Title-1 search warrant. If the FISC did that, all of the evidence against Manafort and Flynn would disappear, and they would have to drop any investigative path that came from the exploitation of an unlawful warrant.
The search warrant was already getting massive scrutiny from congress and the public. People quickly discovered the FBI had used the Steele Dossier as the ‘Woods file’ underpinning the application. People were finding out the Steele Dossier was based on fictitious and debunked information the FBI knew about in January and February of 2017, even before the second and third renewals.
On July 12th, 2018, the Weissmann special counsel jumped into action and drafted a letter to the FISC saying despite recent information from congressional investigations, the predicate for probable cause still existed (see below). This letter was written to the FISC, filed quietly, and never shared with DAG Rosenstein or congress. It was a very big lie from the Weissmann special counsel. [NOTE, only the FISA court knew this letter existed until 2020.]
[NOTE, only the FISC knew this letter existed until 2020. When the FISC saw the IG report and the details about Kevin Clinesmith the FISC demanded the DOJ send a copy of that July 2018 letter to congress for oversight and accountability – SEE HERE] Weissmann lied to the FISC to protect his criminal cases which were at a very important stage in mid 2018. By the time the FISC found out about the Clinesmith fabrications in late 2019 it was too late. The fraudulent search warrant had been made public, the cases that used the warrant authority were over and the special counsel had concluded. The FISC demanded that congress be notified, and Bill Barr did as the FISC requested… he told congress. Congress did nothing.
However, going back to that critical time in 2018, there was also another issue surrounding the FISA application that also surfaced mid-summer providing a second reason to make the FISA application public.
An indictment of Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Security Director James Wolfe was unsealed in the DC court {June 7, 2018, LINK}. James Wolfe was busted for leaking information to journalists from the Senate Intelligence Committee, one of those leaks was the Carter Page FISA application, which Wolfe leaked to Ali Watkins on March 17, 2017, a year earlier.
Wolfe was going to face a criminal trial for charges related to the leaking of that FISA application. Again, this was problematic for the special counsel because that leak was part of the reason why the special counsel was appointed.
On March 17, 2017, SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner wanted a special counsel appointed. There was a debate about whether President Trump was under an investigation of any sort. Senator Warner’s motive for the special counsel was exactly because he knew the DC machinery needed to throw a bag over all of the corrupt targeting of Donald Trump; a special counsel could do that, and be weaponized to continue the attacks.
Senator Mark Warner told SSCI Security Director James Wolfe to leak the FISA application on March 17, 2017. Three days later, March 20, 2017, FBI Director James Comey first admitted publicly, while testifying to congress, that President Trump was under investigation since July of the previous year (2016). The timing of the two events was not accidental. Warner and Comey both wanted a special counsel investigation put into place for the same reason. Both needed a cover-up operation.
Fast forward to the end of December 2017 and James Wolfe is busted for the FISA application leak. The investigative evidence against Wolfe had to flow through the special counsel, before it could be given to a grand jury, because the special counsel had control over anything that touched Trump-Russia and that included their FISA application.
Between January and late April 2018, the Special Counsel went to work diffusing the damage within the Wolfe evidence files. What they did with that evidence file is jaw-dropping, but that’s for another story. In late April the now weakened evidence file against Wolfe was given back to DC U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu and a grand jury was seated May 3, 2018. The Wolfe criminal indictment was unsealed June 7th.
♦ After lying to the FISA court about a justified predicate still existing on July 12,2018, Andrew Weissmann made the FISA application public on the weekend of July 22, 2018, for two reasons:
(1) To protect the predicate of his search warrant authority; and by extension preserve the cases he created using it; and by extension avoid the fruit of the poisonous tree issue by diluting the need or the FISC to invalidate the Title-1 search warrant.
(2) To render moot and remove the most explosive element of the criminal case against James Wolfe.
It was the special counsel, specifically Andrew Weissmann, who released the FISA application to the public.
Few people knew that.
Even fewer knew why.
Now you do.
The gateway to expose the corrupt DOJ and FBI officials does not lie at the end of the path where you find Hillary Clinton, Perkins Coie, Fusion-GPS or any of their cohorts and corrupt political/media allies. Following that trail leads to obfuscation, ‘mistakes were made’ justification and institutional preservation.
Instead, the gateway to expose the corrupt DOJ and FBI officials, lies at the end of the path walked by the Mueller-Weissmann special counsel.
Follow that Weissmann trail and you walk right in the front door of Main Justice and the Washington DC FBI office.
The path to main justice and fbi ultimately leads to the criminally corrupt occupant of White House through the origins of Trump Russia in 2016. Everything Mueller was to protect the corrupt crown
OldGuy,
If I may hijack your thread here, SD has added a “Support CTH Here” link at the bottom of this post which, for any newer readers, doesn’t happen very often. So, I would like to remind any non-contributing folks who rely on this communication stream as much as I do to please consider pitching a little in to support this wonderful and unique site. Be of good cheer!
Done. Did what I can afford right now.
Done – thanks for the reminder.
I think the corruption is much more deep than it appears.
What inspires an inquiry into any cause for concern begin? What triggers action at the base of any investigation?
Someone will become aware of something of concern they DID NOT KNOW ABOUT. Not knowing the validity and out of concern of the ramifications they begin to build a consensus and then call for an investigation . Plain and simple . If you want to kill an investigation you would do the opposite right.
I contend that every senior REPUBLICAN senator and representative and operative (RNC),except one, was fully aware what was happening in real time.
That is why whenever the efforts of the concerned public raised an issue the appropriately positioned color revolution soldiers ,RINOS’ would first claimed ignorance and then would say “we are going to get to the bottom of this”as they enabled the story to be buried using all the tactics we are all too aware of, Trey Gody as a prime example.
They all knew ,all played a part and all are corrupted. The threat they pose is much more sinister than the Democrats. The Democratic leaders are just useful idiots making fools of them selves every day. What do they care ? They are all way above their pay grade and would happily sell their mothers to live the charmed lives they do. Take a close look at them, Jerry Nadiler for example ,nothing but a bunch of slobs.
The only Republican who tried to fight back was blocked from every angle from his own party . Denin Nunez
is no longer there.
The fact that he is the CEO of Truth Social is very significant to me. That is where the solution battle will be won in my mine.
The first thing we need to do is come to grips with the fact that the Republican party machinery is our mortal enemy. Every day as the politics plays out more and more Rinos are being outed. Every time we are made aware of who they are it is after the fact that the battle of the particular issue has been lost. Their numbers have been growing exponentially and i suspect they will continue to do so.
We have a tough road to hoe my friends . I think that we could start by refusing to support incumbents and realize that we should stop giving money to the RNC. It cost very little money to say what needs to be said to gain our support . Donald J. Trump proved that to us in 2016. The problem now is that any potential statesman running an honest campaign is being undermined by a dishonest RNC apparatus using our campaign contributions to squash their honest efforts. Marjorie Taylor Green biung a perfect example.
NO MORE RINOS /INCUMBENTS and financially starve the RNC.. In doing so half of the battle will be won.
God Speed everyone.
Well said
Thanks Jobec3
Great read.
Thank you!
Is there no one connected to President Trump that can dig deeper?
Seeing as Nunes is now in a position of authority with Truth Social.
Cheers!
Would to God that we could class action sue these turds and recoup the monies they got during their crimes once they got jail time. There is a reason I refer to it as the Dept. of inJustice.
It is mind-boggling that there is zero accountability. Who says crime doesn’t pay? Particularly when there are lawyers and corrupt politicians in the mix. We, the taxpayers, funded this abomination.
Treason and hanging with all assets forfeited should be the minimum.
… “Treason and hanging with all assets forfeited should be the minimum.”
Without a doubt.
It’s nothing personal against you but I really wish people would quit using the “treason” statement.
18 U.S. Code § 2381 isn’t a hard read, it pretty plan verbage.
It’s not applicable to ANY of this.
This constant stream of saying it out of ignorance just looks quite frankly, dumb. The constant stream of people who know better and still use it do so for pure propaganda and SHOULD NOT be trusted.
The relevant statutes are 2384 & 2385. It’s not technically treason (unless there’s Chinese fingerprints on this — which wouldn’t surprise me.) What this is is seditious conspiracy. And every single perp should publicly hang for it.
No reason to get in a lather about the definition of treason. We’re in the same ballpark.
Neither of those apply either… What no one wants to accept is pretty much ALL of this was legalized under the US Patriot Act.
What wasn’t legal on US soil was taken offshore where it was.
My harping on this isn’t about arguing semantics… It’s that while everyone was willfully cheering Republicans, they put all of these mechanisms into place.
Espionage and running a full on Coup on a sitting president? Who are you trying to kid… LMAO.
I think you’re confusing the term espionage and counter intelligence. Or pretending that the legal definitions don’t mean what they actually mean.
Pretending not to know things…
Have you read and understand what Sundance has been trying to convey for the past 4 + years? Or are you another one of those “bama did it” people who know nothing about post WWII domestic intelligence?
The Republican party legalized this under the Patriot Act then IN THE MIDDLE of all of this in 2018 passed the section 208 renewals, which Trump signed into law again.
Who are you guys trying to kid?
sooooo You call using the FISC to SPY on a US citizen and then the POTUS “Offshoring”…talk about redefining language….why in the world are you using a Dimm/commie tactic?
What exactly do you think the Patriot Act did but legalizing spying on US citizens on US soil?
it did NOT do this by perpetrating FRAUD on the FISC……and technically the CIA and IC cannot spy on US citizens unless they are suspected of foreign activity…..it may be a nuance of the law but it IS there…they bypass most of this using “Five Eyes” alliance member to gather they data THEN pass it to them
their use of AMERICAN mechanisms to do so by fraud is ILLEGAL and wholly ignored the PATRIOTS Act (this is its FORMAL name btw as an acronym) ….your constantly raising this CANARD as if it granted some form of legality to their actions just does NOT make it so
btw I did a multi-page report on the PATRIOTS Act over a decade ago for a college class…..I was a supporter before this endeavor but not after…I am well aware of what it does and does not do….have you ACTUALLY read it?
Excuse me, but would you please be so kind as to point out to me, and everyone else here, where lying to a court has been legalized? I await your response with bated breath….
I didn’t, but you are apparently missing the Clinesmith case.
Bated breath is pretending that our government is somehow a benevolent entity.
You’re wrong. The Patriot Act didn’t legalize the piss papers, or altering emails or lying to a FISA court, or laundering campaign propaganda through the DOJ or perjury. This shit is all still illegal.
What you’re getting at is the Patriot Act formally created a shadow superstate where the law, de facto, does not apply because the criminals are the very government charged with upholding the law. The watchers are the ones who need watching.
But that’s not the same thing as saying the Patriot Act allowed, de jure, for seditious conspiracy. It did not. Were the executive / Nat sec branch not so completely shot through with corruption, all of these people could be charged, tried and convicted.
Then you are going to need to break down a legal analysis that explains where these things are in fact illegal… Start with dropping “I feel, so I believe” from any statement.
The Patriot Act didn’t created a shadow government, it legalized the one already in place.
You’ll note I’m not saying what was done was “right”. I’m saying it wasn’t illegal to do and there is a difference.
You’ll also note that Clinesmith was charged. Am I defending what transpired there? Nope, but that’s the federal system of self protection that’s been created.
Some of us have been paying attention to this ever since 2002… Some longer, the federal government is systemically broken but falsely claiming somethings illegal when it’s been made legal is completely in denial of what’s really wrong.
Dev…so be it.
Then qualify it as I do….”treachery”…
Oh, I don’t know, I think it’s quite apt, considering the government have declared war on us.
Didn’t we fight a revolution in 1776 over this kind of schiff?
It was all the same during the French Revolution, and the in-crowd all lost their heads.
Slight quibble about the French Revolution. A few of the in crowd lost their heads. The next in crowd in crowd 2 instituted the worst dictatorship even seen in France.
And 25 years later the old in crowd was back. And has been in power ever since.
Who polices the policemen, when the policemen are corrupt?
Well now, this was a good mini thread. I hope Sundance glances at it because something is or has been going on/or in place that allows the bad guys to keep seeing sunlight. Maybe it’s basic corruption or using some letter of law e.g. Patriot Act. If the law is bad we need to expose it (more than it may be) as most of what I see I blame the human scum corruption angle. Truth, good or bad is good imo.
Why would the public release of the Carter Page FISA Application “render moot and remove the most explosive element of the criminal case against James Wolfe”?
Public release of the application IN NO WAY EXONERATES James Wolfe of wrong doing when HE leaked to Watkins, because the material he leaked was STILL CLASSIFIED at the time of his leak.
The impact of the crime was reduced by the subsequent release of the document. And the same effect protected Wolfe’s bosses. So, the wrist slap sounded more palatable.
Yes, this is an explanation only valid in DC.
It makes the leak less significant because it makes it look like they were going to release it anyway. See, leak no big deal.
No one in that department should never again be trusted with anything again……especially not something that is classified. NEVER. Get rid of them. and take their license away for ever. They are not worthy of said license.
In the Wolfe indictment it is noted only on BACKGROUND that the unauthorized disclosure of TOP SECRET information can be reasonably expected to cause grave damage to national security. Wolfe was never charged under 18 U.S. Code § 798 – Disclosure of classified information, which carry’s imprisonment up to ten years.
He was charged with making a false statement to the FBI, exactly what Sussman is charged with. FBI Agent Dugan’s case under 18 U.S. Code § 798 was likely carved out by Jessie Liu, Main Justice.
Agent Dugan presented WOLFE with a typewritten questionnaire (“the lnvestigative Questionnaire”) which was signed by Wolfe. The indictment numbers questions 1,3,9,10,11, which certainly covers the lying part. However questions 2,4,5,6,7,8, do not appear at all in the indictment, which may refer to the leak or hint to who ordered it.
Mr. Weissmann is a very special kind of evil.
Weissman has been attacking selected companies for decades, crashing their stocks…. along with insiders at the SEC opening investigations to aid him…. while Nancy, Biden, Hillary, etc. Donors were cleaning up on the shorts to the tune of Billions of dollars in profit. They wanted to keep their scams going, why do you think Elon turned on the leftist? They were lining up to wipe him out, while shorting his stock.
This filth, not man, is pure evil. With his history of legal malpractice he should have been disbarred years ago for destroying reputations and lives. Yet he and other sick sons of Satan manage to thrive.
And Weismann was moved into 7th floor at the FBI, around the same time Mueller was heading the FBI; under the BUSH admin.
Bush layed the groundwork for Obama, in so many ways.
Amen. And, notice what name is suddenly being mentioned
again. A person who would rank right up there beside him
at the entrance to the gates of hell.
Jamie Gorelick.
It seems all involved either were criminals or became better criminals in DC. All of them are an embarrassment to their countrymen.
Weissmann is Satan in the flesh!
True, but he has a LOT of like-minded demons in DC. In fact, DC if full of them.
Just read his face, it confirms exactly that.
A system so corrupt and so lawless that it can use the law to break the law.
A system so corrupt that every member within it is able to openly collude with each other with no fear of exposure let alone punishment.
This whole thing would never work if Deep State had any non leftists. Not just in key positions but anywhere within the levels of communication, coordination, and execution that is involved in carrying out these crimes.
You can not have a monolithic political bias throughout the whole of government if there were opposing political parties. This can only happen if all political parties wanted it.
So true…both parties wanted it.
Due to his financial success and love of country PDJT was not able to be corrupted. He was the threat to the entire cabal on both sides of the aisle.
Throw the media in as co-conspirators.
I can see Hillary in a back room somewhere screaming at some IC official. ” WHY CAN’T YOU IDIOTS JUST PUT SOME CHILD PORN ON HIS COMPUTER LIKE YOU DO EVERYONE ELSE WE WANT TO DESTROY.”
🤣
Corporate media aren’t co-conspirators; that would imply they are independent agents. All corporate media and now social media after 2016 are de facto propaganda outlets for the powers-that-be.
An independent media would represent a real threat to a Federal government with increasing authoritarian tendencies. The intel agencies decided enough was enough and simply took all national media over.
On some level, both the Democrats and Republicans in DC are useful idiots for the ruling powers. Politicians are largely actors designed to take the flack and maintain the appearance of a functioning government. The FBI used to be feared by other forces in the Swamp; it’s clear now they have become little more than the Deep State’s hatchet men.
The Deep State is a web of entrenched interests which has built up like barnacles on a great ship. That once great ship is now rusted throughout and near the end of its lifespan.
Remember Obama’s words about forming an ‘army’ with numbers to rival us normies. Weaponizing and arming almost every Agency in the Executive was/is a big part of that.
Sorry. Strike this. Left a letter out of email addy
Remember Obama’s words about forming an ‘army’ with numbers to rival us normies. Weaponizing and arming almost every Agency in the Executive was/is a big part of that.
DC is a company town and all its inhabitants, employees, managers and senior executives are all about the company business–larger, more powerful, and more controlling government.
Therefore, it isn’t hard to understand that anything–or anyone–who seeks to diminish or impede the company town’s business must be destroyed.
Anyone!
Hanbun, your last 2 sentences are some of the truest truths i have ever read!!!!
Weissmann – the shadiest
characterliar in this whole miserable saga…Regarding SDs reference to the dueling memos (Nunes vs Schiff), I think Schiff’s version centered on Misfud being an active Russian agent when he was actually working for western intel.
My only point being that any designation of “shadiest liar” has to consider Schiff as they all knew the entire operation was cooked up on the inside.
DOJ just subpoenaed all the J6 committee depositions. I would assume this is meant as an excuse to keep these depositions away from public scrutiny similar to what they did in the Mueller investigation.
Or to use as evidence for an indictment of President Trump!
Bingo!
There is NO WAY Ruling Class will allow Trump to run in 2024–and the DOJ is their muscle.
Spot on Sundance.
An excellent read.
3. To protect the sorry rear end of a certain powerful senator.
.
If you lack the back story on Sam’s excellent comment, take a few minutes to find the video of Mark Levin interviewing Sydney Powell about this character.
Dot?
Dot who?
Sundance, those people in DC believe that losing their job is a crime against humanity. So because the majority of the Spy Gate plotters have lost their jobs enough justice has been done.
Nobody will ever spend a second in jail.
Those who could put federal employees, who planned a coup attempt into jail, believe they have been punished enough.
Will Carter Page succeed with his lawsuit? Not so far….
https://thefederalist.com/2022/01/26/5-takeaways-from-the-latest-filings-in-the-carter-page-spygate-lawsuit/
https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/page-russia.pdf
Why did Carter Page, CIA asset, let the brushfire burn destroying the Trump Administration for three years before he admitted on Maria Bartiromo he was a CIA asset?
Wasn’t Carter Page a plant in the Trump campaign. He is crying foul, but why was he there in the first place? There are no coincidences. Are there?
No coincidences…….and none of the insanity happens without Jeff Sessions decision to recuse himself from his AG role. Sessions was always Mitch McConnell’s secret weapon/insurance policy to sabotage/get rid of Donald Trump. Sessions, like McConnell and the rest of the uni-party frauds, was never on Trump’s team.
Sessions is the Judas Iscariot of Trump’s presidency and could not have done any more than he did to destroy the man’s term in office. He was always working for Mitch and the Deep State RINOs.
Pence is a minor traitor by comparison.
US Senator Jeff Sessions was about the only one from that body (US Senate) who supported Trump in the 2016 campaign. Sessions spoke forcefully at our TN county’s Repub Party Reagan Day Dinner strongly endorsing DJT, when very few others did. Not sure what happened.
Hillary was hated by Obama. The infighting in the DNC since Obama beat her in 08 made her absolutely radioactive. She is Grade A unlikable and would have destroyed anyone and everyone around her the moment the first thing didn’t go her way. Trump was a necessary evil and one term setback for the globalists. They knew the polling and they made plans very early to destroy Trump. They couldn’t destroy him so plan B was to contain him.
Short term setback traded for the long term gain.
Hillary is the grouchy assed old aunt everyone tolerates because she rode the coattails of the favorite uncle.
Dr. Dre:
“Not sure what happened” I keep reading similar favorable comments about Jeff Sessions from people from the South who felt they knew him. I can only surmise that he or his family had become compromised in some way that broke him. There are apparently professional ghouls out there who have long been using time-proven techniques to compromise mere mortals. Now we see it.
Carter Page has been working for the CIA this entire time from the very beginning. His “cover” is this lawsuit going nowhere.
Pretty much every single person who worked on the Trump campaign who wasn’t targeted for prosecution and harassment was likely an intel plant.
At this point about the only person we know who wasn’t working against Trump was Roger Stone and a few, few others. I wouldn’t even trust Trump’s own son-in-law, Kushner. Kushner’s family history puts in the path of several bad actors.
First things first…
IMHO
The Title 1 FISA Warrant on Carter Page was used – in no small way – as a vehicle to “make legal” any surveillance obtained “illegally” that came before the Title 1 warrant.
🧐
That said…
Carter Page WAS placed into the Donald Trump “Orbit”. Some accounts suggest Page did virtually nothing. He was just “Around”. Perhaps, “IN” might be more appropriate.
The FISA Title 1 warrant on Page allowed surveillance, not only of Page, but all those who he came in contact with. (Donald Trump’s ORBIT, as an example)
This surveillance (Title 1) allows several “hops” from the person of interest. (PAGE)
Example…
Individual “A” is the subject of a Tittle 1 FISA warrant.
Hop 1 – Everyone
(E V E R Y O N E)
in Individual “A’s Orbit” (if only sharing an elevator ride) can be surveilled. (Group 1)
Hop 2 – Everyone
(E V E R Y O N E)
in GROUP “1’s Orbit” (if only sharing an elevator ride) can also be surveilled. (Group 2)
Possible… Hop 3
Everyone (E V E R Y O N E) in Group “2’s Orbit” (if only sharing an elevator ride) can also be surveilled.
Imagine someone like Carter Page, with his connections to the Russia, Russia, Russia “Orbit”, and their connections (and those connections’ connections); the CIA “Orbit”, and those connections (and those connections’ connections); and Trumps “Orbit” and those connections (and those connections’ connections)….
And possibly more connections…
Imagine all the “folks” that would entail…
Imagine the “Pressure” that could be applied…
Imagine the “Leverage”
Imagine the intimate “Details” known…
E V E R Y T H I N G “Hoovered Up”
Imagine all the “Information” which had been obtained “Illegally”, now -(Title 1)-, being redefined as..
LEGALLY OBTAINED!!
THAT IMHO – (Covering past crimes; gaining an advantage; knowing the seemingly unknowable.. every move.. every inkling of one’s foe) – is a major reason why Carter Page was “Placed” into Donald Trump’s “Orbit”.
No one has covered this better than Sundance…No one…
Sundance should offer his expertise to the Trump civil suit against HRC et. al. Durham is fleshing out the conspiracy against she and her surrogates and in so doing is exposing institutional corruption that Trump can use to his advantage. That’s the only way many of these conspirators will be held accountable.
Nobody EVER will be held accountable. The whole batch are just too corrupt.
Gateway Pundit picked up his piece in today’s feed, but acting like they had the same question about the Weissman/Mueller investigation.
Correction: I read it today but think they posted it yesterday
What difference does it make who did what and why if nothing will ever be done about it? Wake me up when some of this leftist filth are actually tried and convicted of their crimes and have to serve the same sentence than any of us would serve for the same crime. Is that really too much to ask?
In away, they have. When they took the COVID-19 non-vaccine. These idiots killed themselves, in some cases with cancer and others with AIDS.
Most people are doing fine though. I got the first two shots and have had no problems whatsoever from it. I won’t be getting any boosters because I don’t need them.
It goes after your immune system. Glad to hear you are feeling good, for now.

This long article will explain how Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was created as a result of intentional laboratory work. It will also show that the blueprint for Sars-Cov-2 was described in the “Project DEFUSE” proposal by Peter Daszak, which was preceded by years of relevant lab work and virus manipulation.
I intend this to be a comprehensive “popular science” style article, that has references and abundant links but is generally understandable for regular science-minded people, like journalism or computer science majors.
This article does not introduce any new ideas and is instead meant to be a summary of accumulated knowledge about “lab origin”.
I do not set out here to investigate or debunk the coverup efforts to hide the lab origin of Sars-Cov-2. These coverup efforts involve scrubbing data, as well as promoting a so-called “zoonosis theory”, which is pushed by the NIH, EcoHealth Alliance, and its funders and acolytes. I will simply lay out laboratory-designed features of Sars-Cov-2 and will highlight past research where such features were first discussed prior to 2020. This article is non-judgmental and sticks to facts.
My hope is that reading this article will make you want to send it to your smart friend, who will be able to understand it and will become convinced that “lab origin” is not “baseless misinformation”.

I read the letters from Eha and Harvard medical and all the rest. All they state is that bat borne sars Covid is likely to spill over in to humans in the near future. Although informative, it only highlights the numerous efforts made to mitigate a sars Covid outbreak, not facilitate one.
Since they are mostly still doing fine, they feel the need to keep paying for “public information spokespeople” to keep pushing the poke. Nobody can convince me that all those so called doctors are all for the poke to continue with all we have heard this past couple years. Why would ANYONE want their own DNA messed with anyhow. We are what we are, leave my DNA alone; good, bad or indifferent. Leave it alone. Can you guarantee it will be better rather than worse? When I heard that it “might” change our DNA, that is the word that changed my opinion of the whole poke.
Glad you are doing fine, but SFB is right. The jabs permanently altered your immune system. Your natural, non-specific antibodies have now become specific antibodies, which will be useless against any future coronavirus or future mutation of Covid. Those who did not get vaxxed still have robust immune systems and will be far better protected. Sorry to point this out, and Godspeed.
INTERVIEW WITH GEERT VANDEN BOSSCHE (DEL BIGTREE) – EXPLOSIVE – VACCINE RISK TO HUMANITY (bitchute.com)
I would bet these criminals have not even taken the “vaccine.”
They know it’s dangerous and they’ve got ivermectin by the truckload if they did happen to get covid.
Notice, NOBODY in this treasonous cabal has died, been ventilated, or even been hospitalized.
Good point. Did you happen to see how Pelosi acted when she was told, she had COVID?
Because truth still matters.
At the same time the Sussman treachery is being revealed at his trial, General Flynn is in the process of filing a massive lawsuit against Obama, Biden, FBI, Justice Dept. et al.
Here is an incredible article from Undercover DC that nicely complements Sundances extravaganza:
Attached to the OMB complaint was a summary of the allegations of the political targeting and the weaponization of the power of the United States federal government by the FBI, DOJ, Obama administration officials (some held over into the Trump administration), up to and including President Barack Obama, and then-Vice President Joe Biden themselves—to “get Flynn” at all costs.
A detail that seemed to escape the notice of many was the revelations that the FBI had obtained surveillance warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court or “FISC”) in order to spy on Gen. Flynn’s electronic communications as part of the now-discredited Trump-Russia Collusion Investigation.

Where have you gone, Joe Pientka?
Joe Pientka has been a mysterious figure in the Flynn and Spygate sagas since the beginning. Very few photographs of him are publicly available outside of a couple of him seen alongside other Crossfire Hurricane figures inside the Capitol for congressional hearings.

Weissman is one nasty SoB. Of all the bad players, he’s near the top, along with McCabe and Strozk. Comey isn’t far behind, either.
I became aware of Weissman when, in the Enron scandal, he decided to indict Arthur Anderson, one of the big accounting firms with 10,000s of employees for a felony in connection with their audits. Not the auditors involved, the company itself. Because no self-respecting company could have an indicted felon as auditor, the firm dissolved, disrupting tens of thousands of partners, employees and clients in their jobs and accounting processes. It was an act of astounding arrogance and bullying.
His theories for why the company itself – as opposed to the responsible individuals – was guilty were later tossed out by the Supreme Court, leaving the case as a monument to prosecutorial abuse. He suffered no consequences for this manifestly evil action.
If I understand Sundance’s latest reporting above, it shows Weissman, no doubt with cooperations from the press, making an unprecedented disclosure in order to defuse the bad news, get the press to spin it so as not to appear bad for the DOJ/FBI.
I believe Flynn is suing for how he was mistreated, and I hope he wins big.
The fox put in charge of hen house security claimed to have no knowledge of what happened to the missing chickens.
Now that the chickens have come home to roost we have a different story.
no knowledge of what happened to the missing chickens….but the foxes have sure gotten fatter.
It seems our Law is made to allow certain people/groups to get away with things.
Our Law in the USA has become a cage. Some are bound by it, others are not.
Lawlessness is being confused with the Law. Pretty elegant con. Just big enough and in our face enough that you cant blame most for not seeing it.
BRENNAN’S “FUSION CENTER” FABLE IS COVERUP FOR “THE HAMMER” SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM BRENNAN AND CLAPPER USED TO SPY ON TRUMP; COUP WENT INTO OVERDRIVE MARCH 17, 2017 – https://go.shr.lc/3vRrg7l via @Shareaholic
James Wolfe, Ali Watkins, Michael Horowitz, Carter Page, Judge…
FISA JUDGE ROSEMARY COLLYER’S ORDER: DESTROY SURVEILLANCE DATA COLLECTED ON AND BEFORE MARCH 17, 2017, DATE “THE HAMMER” CIA/FBI WIRETAP ON TRUMP WAS EXPOSED AND SAME DAY SCHIFF HELD MEETING ON TRUMP WIRETAP CLAIM – The American Report
https://theamericanreport.org/2019/12/24/fisa-judge-rosemary-collyers-order-destroy-surveillance-data-collected-on-and-before-march-17-2017-date-the-hammer-cia-fbi-wiretap-on-trump-was-exposed/
The best, CTH, simply the best. Well done, keep fighting.
Fisa judges not concerned about given incorrect info? We are supposed to believe Kliensmith is the only person responsible for false assertion? A decent size law firm has checks and balances, proofreaders etc. Hundreds of gov lawyers and this kid is the only one responsible? They are trying to disbar Sydney Powell for telling the truth but not Kliensmith and all connected?
weissmann is a PRIME example of exactly what happens when people are allowed to escape any level of accountability.
This EVIL being should have been disbarred, terminated and prosecuted DECADES ago .
Do Ted Stevens and Enron ring any bells ???
He has damaged this nation, people and businesses, for decades and WE HAVE BEEN PAYING him to destroy us !
I guess another point to underscore here is that the FISA Warrant allowed surveillance not just of Page, but of his contacts out to two hops. As a Trump Campaign official, he very likely received emails addressed to everyone working for the campaign, this would make all of the them subject to the FISA surveillance. Then everyone who was in contact with anyone in the Trump campaign would also have been subject to surveillance.
So, in simple terms, the Page Warrant permitted the DOJ/FBI to “legally” surveil everyone involved in the Trump campaign and, later, his administration. Because, Russia! What is now known to have been a narrative made up by the Clinton Campaign to distract from her corruption in letting Russia acquire Uranium One, her corruption in maintaining a private server for her email, and the substance of the Wikileaks disclosures concerning Podesta’s and the DNC’s very incriminating emails.
So the only thing that ties it all together is that there was a criminal conspiracy to violate all manner of laws in order to acquire power, and, failing that, to hamper and overthrow the duly elected President, and that the conspiracy reached all the way to the CIA Director, FBI Director, to government contractors with top secret access to NSA databases, to the Obama WH, and out into the media and to some judges.
The charge for Durham, as I recall, was to investigate whether the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation was well-founded. Everything coming out suggests that it was entirely founded on naked political smear efforts.
Nancy Pelosi is continuing the Democrats’ tradition of sham investigations with the Office of Ethics launching investigations into prominent pro-Trump Republicans. Just how much in bed is the FBI with the Democrats? My guess is they fold the sheets for Pelsoi when they’re done.
Actually , they put fresh sheets on the bed when they are done.
For us regulars this is old news. But Sundance I have a question, how does this fit into Gen. Flynn’s 50 million dollar claim against the Government? Seems to me, an understanding as you presented it makes his case/claim much stronger.
Personally i think the court was compliciate. They had / have the ability to press charges the moment Congress did nothing. They let the cover up continue to this day.
Where did the spook carter disappear too ?
The useful tool he has been since day one with his dodgy answers to every question and his background and many trips to Russia have always been very suspicious 🤨
A nation full of corrupt lawyers.
As always THANK YOU Sundance i wish you good health and a long life be well stay strong
R.D.
Amen
Little by little the “Bad Guys” are going down and the People are winning. The big deal for me is correcting the 2020 fraudulent election. Do so and the present Totalitarian government is replaced by the former Constitutional government.
I care less who is a snake, evil, crooked, criminal. All I care about is whoever it is, they are put in jail.
IT was all to protect Obama-Hillary, DNC, FBI, CIA
All part of “the Insurance policy”, as described in ‘the lovers text’.
And Stoxz described/explained it, the same way it had been explained to him;
“On the unlikely event DJT should win”; its like a Life Insurance policy, for a 40 y.o. man. Odds of dieing are slight, but ‘just in case’ he pays the premiums.”
Hillary campaign was NOT thinking in these terms, being confident of winning until days before the election.
And, the premiums were “paid” back in 2015, with the setting up of Carter Page, Papadopolis and Flynn.
The ‘pre-positioned’ some smoke, connecting to Russia, SHOULD THEY NEED IT, as an excuse to appoint a Special Prosecutor, whoch was the main thrust of “the Insurance plan”; to take PDJT out, by “Watergating him”, forcing him to resogn in order to avoid Impeachment.
And Comey and Warner did NOT hatch this plot, in 2017. That is to say, it was PLANNED in 2015, the ‘premiums were paid’ in 2015, and when “the unlikely occurres” the plan was carried out.
And, back in the planning stage, the plan depended on the House to switch, in the midterms, and while the active participants, being the leadership in the FBI/DOJ could block any CRIMINAL invrstigations of this attempted coup, they could NOT block any CONGRESSIONAL investigations, which could expose the plot.
The actives would need guarantees, on these two key points, before going forward,….and only Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, could guarantee, in 2015 that the House would flip to Dem in 3 years, and that any investigations in Congress would be stonewalled.
Point being, once you get to the leadership of FBI and DOJ, that path leads directly (as all evil paths in the swamp do) to Congressional leadership.
No way Comey, Mueller, Weismann, Rosenstien, Warner etc. would have attempted to “Watergate” PDJT, without active support from McConnell and Ryan.
a plausible theory
1) Paul Ryan aided surveillance of PDJT by forcing Manafort on his campaign at the Convention delegate fight.
2) Brennen Briefed every Gang of 8 Member
Hey CTH –
Who told Agent Dugan to do the leak investigation and trap them with 3/17/17?
Durham will one day get around to indicting Weissmann. Hahahahahah.
The people working this corruption for the Deep State know they will never face any consequences for their treasonous actions. They probably laugh about it over cigars and a glass of wine in Georgetown.
May God help us all…
A glass of 18 year old Scotch. The “unclean peasants” drink wine.
A couple of things to add.. you’ll note that in all of this the Patriot Acts FISA position was renewed… And signed into law by Trump.
That makes less sense…
For those that keep thinking *elections* will fix this, don’t forget Republicans were the ones that created this and last renewed it.
No amount of voting will ever change the path our government is on… Only fools fall for those lofty ideas.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
wake me up for the first hanging… or indictment, arrest, etc…
For political junkies like me, articles like this are catnip, or ambrosia. Really, really good stuff!!!
Mueller’s core squad, where are they now?:
Elizabeth Prelogar – US Solicitor General, fourth highest at the DOJ.
Andrew Weissmann – professor NYU Law and aspiring author
James L. Quarles III – Retired from Wilmer-Hale law firm.
Aaron Zebley – Partner at Willmer-Hale. “Mr. Zebley’s practice focuses on investigations, national security matters, and defending clients facing government enforcement actions or congressional inquiries.” How convenient.
Jeannie Rhee – In private practice, partner at Paul-Weiss.
Brandon L. Van Grack – In private practice at Morrison-Foerster where he offers “…unmatched insider enforcement perspective across the entire national security landscape, including sanctions, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), export control, cybersecurity matters, and FARA.” Seems like a fellow who Hunty Biden could use.
Aaron Zelinsky – Assistant US Attorney, Maryland
Zainab Ahmad – Partner in the New York office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
Greg D. Andres – Partner at Davis-Polk. Co-head of White Collar Defense & Investigations.
Lawrence Rush Atkinson – Associate Deputy Attorney General (U.S. Department of Justice)
Michael Dreeben – Partner at O’Melveny. Serves as the firm-wide Co-Chair of the White Collar Defense and Corporate Investigations Practice.
Andrew D. Goldstein – Partner at Cooley. Head of Cooley’s white collar defense & investigations group.
Adam C. Jed – Attorney, Appellate Staff Civil Division, U.S. Department of Justice vaccine litigation team.
Scott A.C. Meisler – Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice
What? No one landed at Dewey, Cheatum & Howe?
Mark Warner’s collegiality with Richard Burr the GOP Chair of the SSCI says everything about Richard Burr; Warner was the defacto head of the Committee.
Mark Warner is a criminal. He should be fitted for orange and put in Ft. Leavenworth, the military one.
The long and short of this farce, “If this trial is about lies.”
Then the truthful outcome is such that the government should be found guilty of, “Lying to itself!!!!!!!!!!!”
To what ends???
All I can muster is, “Their is nothing more egregious than lying to your fellow man.”
However there is a special type of lie that needs to be indentified as more egregious.
That is of, “Knowning lying to cover a known insider lie of those charged to out such lies!!!!
Shame is not, “The word required to express this failure.
The correct word of thought, most accurately applied to this breed of lie is,
“CONCLUSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Sundance do you read me!!!!!
I love CTH and I DO support this site Treepers. Not bragging. Just saying. Its like a tithe for me to do so. The picture tells of Wiessmann has always been worth a thousand words.
My Dad would say he has “Zebouliye” (sp) or Onion Eyes. Its a common trait with those of Jewish or Slavic origin. That be me. It’s all got something to do with the thyroid. Under, or overactive can be crazy making. A demon possessed with to much, or too little of something. This picture looks just like he had electro-shock treatment.
Poor Wiessmann. (Total SNARK THERE). People from Enron and Author Anderson know and have felt the pain of what he did. And he was proven the most corrupt by Sidney Powell. At this point in his life, I think he is just a piece of ROADKILL that I would bless as I usually do.
Is that piece of ROADKILL still alive? Or maybe the parts of his dried up molecules being rubbed on doorknobs to spread the “blame it on the chimp virus?” I don’t know and I don’t care.
Love the Rolling Stone ” Monkey Man” song. Lost my link to it.
Pray your Wednesday is grand.
Rolling Stones Monkey Man, a great song by a great band. See my handle. G_d bless you Retired IG
Oh! What tangled webs they weave!
A pox upon each of their houses, and may they strangle within.
More confusing than all this is wht Trump would publicly call the Clintons “good people” after promising to lock her up for months.
His victory over Hillary was enough. (She is still agonizing.) He did not want to appear ‘vindictive’ after his upset win. Little did he know what was about to be thrown at him.
The only path to Justice and regaining any trust is the gallows. #MAGA
K. Clinesmith Confessed, comrades.

This is a timely reminder. Incredibly well-written, taking a newcomer through the paces in short order.
Expose the “bondo.”
BIDEN IS WHO 80 MILLION PLUS VOTED FOR IN 2020………………..really…………….
THE REST OF AMERICA WHO DIDNT VOTE FOR HIM NEEDS TO BE READY TO FIGHT !!
BECAUSE THE DEMONRATS AND THE REST OF THE DC ELITE HAVE SOLD THE USA OUT TO THE WEF !!!
I wonder if the recent shooting events have been triggered by algorithms sent by our own FBI to change the news away from the worst inflation wheat and formula shortages the handing over the sovereignty of our health system to the WHO
the money laundering of hunter and joe the insider trading of our DC elite the destruction of our education system and the history of our nation…let alone the invasion of illegals into our nation…..
trump russia all lies mueller $40 million in payoffs to liars …….
2 impeachments lies all had our DOJ, FBI deomonrats and republicans trying to destroy a sitting president…………….. I wonder……………………….
Just saying, I’m glad I have followed you from the beginning.
