Last night Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) made an explosive announcement as an outcome of a whistleblower providing information to him and Jim Jordan about the FBI having a collaborative relationship with the Clinton/DNC law firm Perkins Coie. {Go Deep} Specifically, the explosive element surrounds the FBI having a workspace within the DNC law firm that would have given Democrats an open portal into FBI databases for use in opposition research.
Secondarily, Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann being in charge of this working arrangement within Perkins Coie for the past year, since the departure of Marc Elias, becomes a far greater issue. The potential ramifications of this joint collaborative activity are vast.
The FBI can exploit the NSA database to conduct searches of all cell phone, computer, email, text message, social media, electronic communication and all private data/communication belonging to Americans; this would include geolocation. If the FBI was operating within Perkins Coie since 2012, then the democrats have held access to fully intrusive electronic surveillance of their political opposition, or anyone else – anywhere, for a decade.
Mainstream conservative defenders of the DOJ and FBI institutions, as a result of their prior tenure inside those same agencies, have long denied the Dept of Justice and FBI are corrupt political entities. The revelation of the FBI and Perkins Coie working collaboratively to exploit this data portal is something that people like Margot Cleveland, Andrew McCarthy, Johnathan Turley and many others need to deny in order to retain the premise of institutional credibility.
However, the FBI and DNC law firm working collaboratively on issues of joint importance goes far beyond the ‘image of impropriety or conflicted interest‘ and extends to the actual corruption within the foundational institutions of government. Transparently, if these reports are accurate all of the inexplicable dynamics within the “two tiers of justice” suddenly reconcile. The FBI and Perkins Coie having the ability to conduct electronic surveillance of any target is a thermonuclear level of sunlight, that reconciles years of visible issues.
There is a common misconception about why the FBI and intelligence apparatus began investigating the political campaign of Donald Trump.
In this refresher outline I hope to provide some deep source material that will provide context to the revelation of the FBI-Perkins Coie relationship against numerous historic reference points that reconcile with the new revelation.
During the timeframe of December 2015 through April 2016 the NSA database was being exploited by contractors within the intelligence community, specifically within the FBI, doing unauthorized searches.
On March 9, 2016, oversight personnel doing a review of FBI system access were alerted to thousands of unauthorized FBI search queries of specific U.S. persons within the NSA database.
NSA Director Mike Rogers was made aware.
Subsequently NSA Director Rogers initiated a full compliance review of the system to identify who was doing the searches; & what searches were being conducted.
On April 18, 2016, following the preliminary audit results, Director Rogers shut down all FBI contractor access to the database after he learned FISA-702 “about”(17) and “to/from”(16) search queries were being done without authorization.
Thus begins the first discovery of a much bigger background story.
When you compile the timeline with the people involved; and the specific wording of the resulting review, which was then delivered to the FISA court; and overlay the activity that was taking place in the 2016 political primary; what we discover is a process where the metadata collected by the NSA was being searched for political opposition research and surveillance.
Tens-of-thousands of unauthorized and unlawful searches were identified by the FISA court as likely extending much further than the compliance review period: “while the government reports it is unable to provide a reliable estimate of the non compliant queries since 2012, there is no apparent reason to believe the November 2015 [to] April 2016 period coincided with an unusually high error rate”.
In short, during the Obama administration access to the NSA database was continually used to conduct surveillance. This is the critical point that leads to understanding the origin of “Spygate”, as it unfolded in the Spring and Summer of 2016.
It was the discovery of the database exploitation and the removal of access as a surveillance tool that seemed to create the initial problem for the FBI political unit in Washington, DC. Here’s how we can tell.
In December 2015 there were 17 GOP candidates, all needing opposition research.
However, when Donald Trump won New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina the field was significantly whittled. Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and Carson remained.
On Super Tuesday, March 2, 2016, Donald Trump won seven states (VT, AR, VA, GA, AL, TN, MA) it was then clear that Trump was the GOP frontrunner with momentum to become the presumptive nominee.
On March 5th, 2016, DonaldTrump won Kentucky and Louisiana; and on March 8th Trump won Michigan, Mississippi and Hawaii.
The next day, March 9, 2016, is when NSA security alerts warned internal oversight personnel that something sketchy was going on. This timing is not coincidental.
As FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer later wrote in her report, “many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the same identifiers over different date ranges.” Put another way: attributes belonging to a specific individual(s) were being targeted and queried, unlawfully. Given what was later discovered, it seems obvious the primary search targets, over multiple date ranges, were political candidates, specifically Donald Trump.
There were tens-of-thousands of unauthorized search queries; and as Judge Collyer stated in her report, there is no reason to believe the 85% non compliant rate was any different from the abuse of the NSA database going back to 2012, the same year the FBI collocated a workspace within Perkins Coie.
As you will see below the NSA database was how political surveillance was being conducted during Obama’s second term in office. However, when the system was flagged, and when NSA Director Mike Rogers shut down “FBI contractor” access to the system, the system users needed to develop another way to get access.
Mike Rogers shuts down access on April 18, 2016. On April 19, 2016, Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson’s wife, Mary Jacoby visits the White House. Immediately thereafter, the DNC and Clinton campaign contract Fusion GPS… who then hire Christopher Steele.
Knowing it was federal “contractors”, outside government with FBI access to the system doing the unauthorized searches, the question becomes: who were the contractors?
The possibilities are quite vast. Essentially anyone the FBI or intelligence apparatus was using could have participated. Crowdstrike was a known FBI contractor; they were also contracted by the DNC. Shawn Henry was the former head of the FBI office in DC and later become part of Crowdstrike’s leadership team, a rather dubious contractor for the government and a politically connected data security and forensic company.
FBI Director James Comey’s special friend Daniel Richman was an unpaid FBI “special employee” with security access to the database. Nellie Ohr began working for Fusion-GPS on the Trump project in November 2015 and she was a previous open-source CIA contractor; and now that we know the FBI and Perkins Coie were in a collaborative relationship, we can also presume they were FBI contractors with similar clearances and access.
Remember the Sharyl Attkisson computer intrusions? It’s all part of this same network; Attkisson even names Shawn Henry as a defendant in her ongoing lawsuit.
All of the aforementioned names, and so many more, held a political agenda in 2016.
It seems likely if the NSA flags were never triggered then the contracted FBI system users would have continued exploiting the NSA database for political opposition research; which would then be funneled to the Clinton team. However, once the unauthorized flags were triggered, the system users (including those inside the FBI and sister agency the CIA) would need to find another back-door to continue… Again, the timing becomes transparent.
Immediately after NSA flags were raised March 9, 2016, the same FBI and CIA intelligence agencies began using confidential human sources (CHS’s) to run into the Trump campaign. By activating intelligence assets like Joseph Mifsud and Stefan Halper the IC (CIA, FBI) and system users had now created an authorized way to continue the same political surveillance operations.
When Donald Trump hired Paul Manafort on March 28, 2016, it was a perfect scenario for those doing the surveillance. Manafort was a known entity to the FBI and was previously under investigation. Paul Manafort’s entry into the Trump orbit was perfect for Glenn Simpson to sell his prior research on Manafort as a Trump-Russia collusion script two weeks later.
The shift from “unauthorized exploitation of the NSA database” to legally authorized exploitation of the NSA database was now in place. This was how they continued the political surveillance. This is the confluence of events that originated “spygate”, or what officially blossomed into the FBI investigation known as “Crossfire Hurricane” on July 31.
If the NSA flags were never raised; and if Director Rogers had never initiated the compliance audit; and if the FBI political contractors were never blocked from access to the database; they would never have needed to create a legal back-door, a justification to retain the surveillance. The political operatives/contractors would have just continued the targeted metadata exploitation.
Once they created the FBI surveillance door, Fusion-GPS was then needed to get the FBI known commodity of Chris Steele activated as a pipeline. Into that pipeline all system users pushed opposition research. However, one mistake from the database extraction, likely during an “about” query, shows up as a New Yorker named Michael Cohen in Prague.
That misinterpreted data from a FISA-702 “about query” is then piped to Steele and turns up inside the dossier; it was the wrong Michael Cohen. It wasn’t Trump’s lawyer, it was an art dealer from New York City with the same name; the same “identifier”.
A DEEP DIVE – How Did It Work?
Start by reviewing the established record from the 99-page FISC opinion rendered by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer on April 26, 2017. Review the details within the FISC opinion.
I would strongly urge everyone to read the FISC report (full pdf below) because Judge Collyer outlines how the DOJ, which includes the FBI, had an “institutional lack of candor” in responses to the FISA court. In essence, the Obama administration was continually lying to the FISA court about their activity, and the rate of fourth amendment violations for illegal searches and seizures of U.S. persons’ private information for multiple years.
Unfortunately, due to intelligence terminology Judge Collyer’s brief and ruling is not an easy read for anyone unfamiliar with the FISA processes. That complexity also helps the media avoid discussing it; and as a result most Americans have no idea the scale and scope of the Obama-era surveillance issues. So we’ll try to break down the language.

.
For the sake of brevity and common understanding CTH will highlight the most pertinent segments showing just how systemic and troublesome the unlawful electronic surveillance was.
Early in 2016 NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was alerted of a significant uptick in FISA-702(17) “About” queries using the FBI/NSA database that holds all metadata records on every form of electronic communication.
The NSA compliance officer alerted Admiral Mike Rogers who then initiated a full compliance audit on/around March 9th, 2016, for the period of November 1st, 2015, through May 1st, 2016.
While the audit was ongoing, due to the severity of the results that were identified, Admiral Mike Rogers stopped anyone from using the 702(17) “about query” option, and went to the extraordinary step of blocking all FBI contractor access to the database on April 18, 2016 (keep these dates in mind).
Here are some significant segments:
The key takeaway from these first paragraphs is how the search query results were exported from the NSA database to users who were not authorized to see the material. The FBI contractors were conducting searches and then removing, or ‘exporting’, the results. Later on, the FBI said all of the exported material was deleted.
Searching the highly classified NSA database is essentially a function of filling out search boxes to identify the user-initiated search parameter and get a return on the search result.
♦ FISA-702(16) is a search of the system returning a U.S. person (“702”); and the “16” is a check box to initiate a search based on “To and From“. Example, if you put in a date and a phone number and check “option 16” as the search parameter the user will get the returns on everything “To and From” that identified phone number for the specific date. Calls, texts, contacts etc. Including results for the inbound and outbound contacts.
♦ FISA-702(17) is a search of the system returning a U.S. person (702); and the “17” is a check box to initiate a search based on everything “About” the search qualifier. Example, if you put a date and a phone number and check “option 17” as the search parameter the user will get the returns of everything about that phone. Calls, texts, contacts, geolocation (or gps results), account information, user, service provider etc. As a result, 702(17) can actually be used to locate where the phone (and user) was located on a specific date or sequentially over a specific period of time which is simply a matter of changing the date parameters.
And that’s just from a phone number.
Search an ip address “about” and read all data into that server; put in an email address and gain everything about that account. Or use the electronic address of a GPS enabled vehicle (about) and you can withdraw more electronic data and monitor in real time. Search a credit card number and get everything about the account including what was purchased, where, when, etc. Search a bank account number, get everything about transactions and electronic records etc. Just about anything and everything can be electronically searched; everything has an electronic ‘identifier’.
The search parameter is only limited by the originating field filled out. Names, places, numbers, addresses, etc. By using the “About” parameter there may be thousands or millions of returns. Imagine if you put “@realdonaldtrump” into the search parameter? You could extract all following accounts who interacted on Twitter, or Facebook etc. The search result is only limited by the operators’ imagination and the scale of the electronic connectivity.
As you can see below, on March 9th, 2016, internal auditors noted the FBI was sharing “raw FISA information, including but not limited to Section 702-acquired information”. Who were they sharing it with? Perkins Coie?
In plain English the raw search returns were being shared with unknown entities without any attempt to “minimize” or redact the results. The person(s) attached to the search results were named and obvious. There was no effort to hide their identity or protect their 4th amendment rights of privacy; and database access was from the FBI network:
But what’s the scale here? This is where the story really lies.
Read this next excerpt carefully.
The operators were searching “U.S Persons”. The review of November 1, 2015, to May 1, 2016, showed “eighty-five percent of those queries” were unlawful or “non compliant”.
85% !! “representing [redacted number]”.
We can tell from the space of the redaction the number of searches were between 10,000 and 99,999 [six digits]. If we take the middle number of 50,000 – a non compliant rate of 85 percent means 42,500 unlawful searches out of 50,000.
The [six digit] amount (more than 10,000, less than 99,999), and 85% error rate, was captured in a six month period, November 2015 to April 2016. The timeframe of highest interest in the republican presidential primary.
Also notice this very important quote: “many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the same identifiers over different date ranges.” This tells us the system users were searching the same phone number, email address, electronic identifier, repeatedly over different dates. Put another way, specific person(s) were being tracked/monitored.
Additionally, notice the last quote: “while the government reports it is unable to provide a reliable estimate of” these non lawful searches “since 2012, there is no apparent reason to believe the November 2015 [to] April 2016 coincided with an unusually high error rate”.
That means the 85% unlawful FISA-702(16)(17) database abuse has likely been happening since 2012.
2012 is an important date in this database abuse because a network of specific interests is assembled that also shows up in 2016/2017:
- Who was 2012 FBI Director? Robert Mueller, who was selected by the FBI group to become special prosecutor in 2017.
- Who was Mueller’ chief-of-staff? Aaron Zebley, who became one of the lead lawyers on the Mueller special counsel.
- Who was 2012 CIA Director? John Brennan (remember the ouster of Gen Petraeus)
- Who was ODNI? James Clapper.
- Remember, the NSA is inside the Pentagon (Defense Dept) command structure. Who was Defense Secretary? Ash Carter
Who wanted NSA Director Mike Rogers fired in 2016? Brennan, Clapper and Carter.
And finally, who wrote and signed-off-on the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment and then lied about the use of the Steele Dossier? The same John Brennan, and James Clapper along with James Comey.
Tens of thousands of searches over four years (since 2012), and 85% of them are illegal. The results were extracted for?…. (I believe this is all political opposition use; and I’ll explain why momentarily.)
OK, that’s the stunning scale; but who was involved?
Private contractors with access to “raw FISA information that went well beyond what was necessary to respond to FBI’s requests“.
So, someone using the justification of FBI “requests”, was exploiting their access to the FBI portal; and they were searching for material “well beyond” the justification of “FBI requests” the used. Doesn’t this exactly sound like someone in Perkins Coie using their FBI portal access?
And as noted, the contractor access was finally halted on April 18th, 2016.
[Coincidentally (or likely not), the wife of Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson, Mary Jacoby, goes to the White House the very next day on April 19th, 2016.]
None of this is conspiracy theory.
All of this is laid out inside this 99-page opinion from FISC Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer who also noted that none of this FISA abuse was accidental in a footnote on page 87: “deliberate decisionmaking“:
This specific footnote, if declassified, could be a key. Note the phrase: “([redacted] access to FBI systems was the subject of an interagency memorandum of understanding entered into [redacted])”, this sentence has the potential to expose an internal decision; withheld from congress and the FISA court by the Obama administration; that outlines a process for access and distribution of surveillance data.
Note: “no notice of this practice was given to the FISC until 2016“, that is important.
Summary: The FISA court identified and quantified tens-of-thousands of search queries of the NSA/FBI database using the FISA-702(16)(17) system. The database was repeatedly used by persons with FBI contractor access who unlawfully searched and extracted the raw results without redacting the information and shared it with an unknown number of entities.
The outlined process certainly points toward a political spying and surveillance operation; and we are not the only one to think that’s what this system is being used for.
Back in 2017 when House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes was working to reauthorize the FISA legislation, Nunes wrote a letter to ODNI Dan Coats about this specific issue:
SIDEBAR: To solve the issue, well, actually attempt to ensure it never happened again, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers eventually took away the “About” query option permanently in 2017. NSA Director Rogers said the abuse was so inherent there was no way to stop it except to remove the process completely. [SEE HERE] Additionally, the NSA database operates as a function of the Pentagon, so the Trump administration went one step further. On his last day as NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers -together with ODNI Dan Coats- put U.S. cyber-command, the database steward, fully into the U.S. military as a full combatant command. [SEE HERE] Unfortunately it didn’t work as shown by the 2018 FISC opinion rendered by FISC Judge James Boasberg [SEE HERE]
There is little doubt the NSA database system was used by Obama-era FBI officials and political allies, from 2012 through April 2016, as a way to spy on their political opposition.
Quite simply, there is no other intellectually honest explanation for the scale and volume of database abuse that was taking place; and keep in mind these searches were all ruled to be unlawful. Searches for repeated persons over a period time that were not authorized.
When we reconcile what was taking place and who was involved, then the actions of the exact same principle participants take on a jaw-dropping amount of clarity.
All of the action taken by CIA Director Brennan, FBI Director Comey, ODNI Clapper and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter make sense. Including their effort to get NSA Director Mike Rogers fired.
Everything that comes after March 9, 2016, had a dual purpose: (1) done to cover up the weaponization of the FISA database. [Explained Here] Spygate, Russia-Gate, the Steele Dossier, and even the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (drawn from the dossier and signed by the above) were needed to create a cover-story and protect themselves from discovery of this four year weaponization, political surveillance and unlawful spying. Even the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel makes sense; he was FBI Director when this began. And (2) they needed to keep the surveillance going.
The beginning decision to use FISA(702) as a domestic surveillance and political spy mechanism appears to have started in/around 2012. Perhaps sometime shortly before the 2012 presidential election and before John Brennan left the White House and moved to CIA. However, there was an earlier version of data assembly that preceded this effort.
Political spying 1.0 was actually the weaponization of the IRS. This is where the term “Secret Research Project” originated as a description from the Obama team. It involved the U.S. Department of Justice under Eric Holder and the FBI under Robert Mueller. It never made sense why Eric Holder requested over 1 million tax records via CD ROM, until overlaying the timeline of the FISA abuse:
The IRS sent the FBI “21 disks constituting a 1.1 million page database of information from 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” The transaction occurred in October 2010 (link)
Why disks? Why send a stack of DISKS to the DOJ and FBI when there’s a pre-existing financial crimes unit within the IRS. All of the evidence within this sketchy operation came directly to the surface in early spring 2012.
The IRS scandal was never really about the IRS, it was always about the DOJ asking the IRS for the database of information. That is why it was transparently a conflict when the same DOJ was tasked with investigating the DOJ/IRS scandal. Additionally, Obama sent his chief-of-staff Jack Lew to become Treasury Secretary; effectively placing an ally to oversee/cover-up any issues. As Treasury Secretary Lew did just that.
Lesson Learned – It would appear the Obama administration learned a lesson from attempting to gather a large opposition research database operation inside a functioning organization large enough to have some good people that might blow the whistle.
The timeline reflects a few months after realizing the “Secret Research Project” was now worthless (June 2012), they focused more deliberately on a smaller network within the intelligence apparatus and began weaponizing the FBI/NSA database. If our hunch is correct, that is what will be visible in footnote #69:
How this all comes together.
Fusion GPS was not hired in April 2016 to research Donald Trump. As shown in the evidence provided by the FISC, the FBI contractors were already doing surveillance and spy operations. The Clinton campaign already knew everything about the Trump campaign, as they were monitoring everything by exploiting their FBI relationship and the Perkins Coie location for portal access to the database.
However, after the NSA alerts in/around March 9th, 2016, and particularly after the April 18th shutdown of contractor access, the Clinton Team and FBI needed Fusion GPS to create a legal albeit ex post facto justification for the pre-existing surveillance and spy operations. Fusion GPS gave them that justification in the Steele Dossier.
That’s why the FBI small group, which later transitioned into the Mueller team, were so strongly committed to and defending the formation of the Steele Dossier and its dubious content. The Steele Dossier was used in lieu of the ‘Woods File’, underpinning the justification for the Carter Page Title-1 surveillance warrant.
The Steele Dossier, an outcome of the Fusion contract, contains two purposes: (1) the cover-story and justification for the pre-existing FBI surveillance operation (protect Obama and Clinton); and (2) facilitate the FBI counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign (assist Clinton and Perkins Coie).
An insurance policy would be needed.
The Steele Dossier becomes the investigative virus the FBI wanted inside the system. To get the virus into official status, they used the FISA application as the delivery method and injected it into a Title-1 search warrant against Carter Page. The FBI already knew Carter Page (he worked for the CIA); essentially Carter Page was irrelevant, what they needed was the FISA warrant and the Dossier in the system {Go Deep}.
The Obama FBI needed Fusion GPS to give them a plausible justification for already existing political surveillance and spy operations. Fusion-GPS gave them that justification and evidence for a FISA warrant with the Steele Dossier.
Ultimately that’s why the Steele Dossier was so important; without it, the FBI would not have the tool that Mueller needed to continue the investigation of President Trump. In essence by renewing the FISA application in 2017, despite them knowing the underlying dossier was junk, the FBI was keeping the surveillance gateway open for Team Mueller to exploit later on.
Additionally, without the Steele Dossier the DOJ and FBI are naked with their surveillance (FISA-702) abuse as outlined by John Ratcliffe.

In this video NSA Director Mike Rogers explains how he was notified of what was happening and what he did after the notification. WATCH:

Knowing there is a very strong probability Perkins Coie and the FBI were working together on this, makes everything else make sense.
Likely they are back to doing all those 702 searches again.
Is this when FBI Director Chris Wray finally gets fired? Asking for a friend!
Maybe next year if we have a fair election this November.
Not while Joebama’s around
Yeah, right! /s
It doesn’t get more in your face than this…How this is happening is beyond the pale…How much more corrupt can it get before the Republicans in the house and Senate begin to demand this blatant corruption cease…It’s not enough that the trial was a charade with the fix already in before it even started with the Obama appointed judge allowing Clinton campaign donors as well as a relative to Sussmann, I believe…This is just sickening whats being allowed to happen.
How much before? Until the GOP’s current crew is driven from the party —- it will never happen. We are a uni-party nation that plays Kabuki Theatre so the masses can play Emperor’s New Clothes.
Why hasn’t the 2020 “Election” sunken in yet…???
You CANNOT GET the 2020 Election Theft if both parties were not working hand in glove for The Great Resetters…
That is why it’s called the UniParty. Hopefully, more people are becoming increasingly aware of this hoax upon the populace.
Want to scream bull shit! The Kenyan was up to his criminally corrupt neck in every bit of this criminality. Been saying for years, Mueller’s farce wasn’t about PDT, it was to run cover for the crimes of the Kenyan
Biden and his son Hunter shared a checking account. This is a known fact.
If Biden had access to all the money along with Hunter, why did they need 10% for The Big Guy?
Ever wonder?
The Big Guy was/is Obama.
Actually this is far more likely than it being Sloppy Joe. 💯
Good point. Remember, Hunter was complaining to his sister (if I recall correctly) in his emails that he won’t take 50% from her like Joe does to him.
So the 10% must be going to “The Big Guy”, [Big Mike] Obama.
BINGO!
#Buraqgate
Then maybe he’s using the wrong ammo, and targeting the wrong people…
Chicago Democratic Values at play here. See how the Democrats have controlled Chicago for over 90 years!
Why do you think O moved all the way to Georgetown when his term was over? Happily, he’s now well into his Third Term.
BINGO!
So the donks via the FBI must have “the goods” on every GOP, so they bend the knee. This is like Hillary asking for FBI files but x100
Include the GOPe in that.
Sorry, Dems also.
Most Repubs will just go along to get along, comrade. I posted the Repubs will drop their illusion of opposition to the democRat Party. Rinos control and are the sElected Majority of the repub Party, so it’s just a “merger” away. No big deal really, happens all the time.
1775 is coming, because it is what the democRats Want, they are convinced that they Win overwhelmingly. So far the democRats have swept aside their opposition.
Try antagonists.
How does America recover from this? The Courts are corrupted beyond belief they openly stole the election what else are they not above doing. #MAGA
The timing of the “whistleblower” info coming out (right after Sussman found not guilty) is interesting.
Were Gaetz and Jordan holding the info so they weren’t accused of interfering with the trial?
Was the “whistleblower” pissed off that Sussman was acquitted?
Was the “whistleblower” a Perkins Coie witness at the trial who gave the “office sharing” info to Durham and was frustrated Durham left it out at trial?
Was Someone in Durham’s office frustrated this was discovered but not used at trial? Can Durham ignore it now that Jordan (Ranking House Judiciary) is all over it?
Is the guy with long hair and sunglasses Glen Simpson? Did another Durham target (Simpson comes to mind) trade this evidence to avoid prosecution? Did Durham strategically leak it to the only politicians in DC with the spine to publish it so that other targets know someone is singing and they might want to start cooperating? Or for his own political protection “I wasn’t going to prosecute anyone for it, but now that it’s public info …”
Before Sussman ran this FBI portal, Elias ran it. It’s almost certain Elias would’ve been the originator of this arrangement with the FBI. Did Sussman flip on Elias to avoid prosecution for something more serious? “I didn’t start this thing. I just inherited it from Elias. I didn’t know it was the NSA database info the FBI was feeding us, blah, blah …”
So much maneuvering that must be going on behind the scenes right now. Pray for all who are trying to bring justice for this corruption.
Ah, remember the comments from Maxine Waters.
Dimbulb that she is, she was also aware of this arrangement.
Hillary Clinton, amazingly untouchable. Now, why would that be?
She smirks. She struts. She also knows.
The dupes are the American public — those useless eaters — all of us!
“Obamas gots de Hammuh” – Mad Max
Not dupes, LF, just not in the club.
They dont care because they know at this point there are no consequences. Whether that remains is yet to be seen.
What I don’t understand is if they aren’t worried about the consequences, why sneek around?
Plausible deniability.
Consequences = ROPE + TREE/LAMP POST
Blindfolds and cigarettes.
I hope and pray there will be appropriate consequences for all concerned.
The first phase was stealing the election and installing Biden. The next phase is disarmament. Then communism will be installed.
Global Fascism, way worse. These are Nazis we are dealing with, way beyond communism.
A war is extremely likely.
Bidens handlers determined to provoke Russia.
I and our sons are with Russia..FJB and Trudeau.
IMO That seems to be the plan.
I hear you got legal Fentanyl and a ban on guns. Now NYC wants legal Fentanyl.
TSUP with that? Fidel would be proud.
?? TSUP?? (Temporary Street Use Permit) doesn’t appear to make sense in the context.
According to Alexander Dugin it is both — a conflation of communism and fascism.
The next step is War +/or Economic Collapse + waves of Pestilence + Famine to cull the Useless Eaters….
Exactly,they proved that they can get a vegetable ‘elected’ they can do whatever the hell they want. Look at whats happened in Canada. I look for the uniparty to play the patriot act card and scream muh Russia.
Hillary ran on going to war with Russia. It was amazing to watch. It was like she’d been teleported from the 1980s but now we know why —– war was the plan all along for decades…

Another Great ‘recap’ with more evidence to prove (long term)! As you always have.
You have more! Possibly all, definitely most.
DROP IT! Quit holding it back.
OVERDUE!
It’s coming anyway.
Did you see Gregg’s public comments recently.
BTW, are you working with him and Catherine (and others mentioned)? If not, you should be.
Same with Sydney, Mike, Mike, and others.
If you do correspond with any of them, or what Gregg ‘hints’ to, DROP IT!
Let the chips fall where they may.
Remember the capturing of all electronic communications, Probably also snail mail.

We are not going to vote our way out of this level of corruption.
Bill Barr doesn’t regret his failure as AG but his grandchildren certainly will!
Barr debela pokvarena guzica. Fat corrupted ass. I had the gut feeling the first time I heard him speak, watch his facial expression. Cool hand Luke. Only Barr a Bandito. Crkni. Croak.

I used plenty of data bases, investigators, whatever could be used to learn about a plaintiff.
The headline to this article is enough to blow me away.
Can’t begin to imagine what I’d have done with even 2% of Perkins access.
Probably 98% of FBI Special Agents don’t have the access to the FBI databases that PerkinsCoie has!
Interesting ATM. Maybe some people who lost their cases to a PC client might want to know how damaging info made it to out to the public and possibly influenced decisions in court. ??
Barr said today (paraphrase) – ‘Dont be a dumbass, DC isnt going to prosecute DC’
thats it folks – DC is an outpost for a private party, and consenting to it is going to get you ____.
We know this.
Hillary, the DOJ, FBI, and all the people involved know this.
PDJT knows this. Gaetz, MTG, Nunes, Lady Graham, etc……
Everybody knows this.
This is what has been driving this website, and SD, for 4 years.
Yet, nothing happened except the big ruse working.
I can’t even explain this shit to anybody anymore.
Its so convoluted, and has taken so long.
I almost wish I DIDNT know all the crap that SD has so zealously exposed.
Life would be simpler.
But I don’t wish that. I’m glad I know.
Its just rough.
CTH outlines it perfectly.
Start at the starting point for speaking to people that have been absolutely clueless to CTH existing.

Absolutely. But one only needs as much info as is necessary to draw a conclusion. Many people here drew their conclusions years ago. We know who the bad guys are. Some like to know every.single.detail. of how the bad guys did their bad guy stuff. I’ve had enough. I’m ready for public hangings and I know who I want to see hung. Don’t really need to know much more.
Justice delayed really is justice denied.
Best go back a bit farther than the past four years, Ackman. Start with Trevon Martin, and work your way up to Benghazi.
Yup. All Sundance, and more.
Bill Barr knew and did nothing.
he said its about the story getting out, cause DC isnt gonna prosecute himself.
the one thing that makes him a liar – is that he knows the Uniparty facillitated this also (Mueller appointment and voting to not allow PDJT to fire him).
Wm Barr’s father wrote several books on Marxism. He was the headmaster at the prep school where Jeffrey Epstein came to teach (without a degree) just as Donald Barr left. His mother taught a Columbia.
Isn’t there a law that requires the DOD to monitor presidential elections and step in to take over the federal government, if the election is stolen, until the rightful winner or a new election, run by the military can re-establish civilian control?
So how does what the Awan Brothers were up to fit in this scheme? Feel like they were trying to set up a spying network as well
It appears FISA Judge Collyer documented the BS, but did not follow-up on rectifying the situation – unless she referred it to the DOJ that always “declines to prosecute” when not in the Deep State’s best interests.
I am in no way disparaging SD’s excellent research and analysis, however, I believe Hillary said something similar to “at this point, what difference does it make?”
Will anyone be held accountable?
There are constitutional constraints against secret trials and holding people in jail secretly.
That means that these scum can’t be prosecuted without making it all public.
The Deep State does not care about the Constitution.
But it exempts those languishing in jails for being in DC on January 06.
Compare them to the shooter of Ashley Babbit, the welcoming cops removing barriers & urging people into Capital, & bussed in fakes who created havoc. All are free!
No investigations, only praise from this treasonous government & its support staff in MSM.
Smarmy lot!
Yet the J6 people sit in prison for over a year being raped by the prison guards with no day in court though Antifa boy was not even held in jail.
Didn’t Collyer resign after her report, for ‘health’ reasons, or ‘to spend more time with her family’, etc. Or maybe to avoid arkancide?
IMHO, Collier was likely punished – by ‘resigning’ for replacement with boasberg by chief justice roberts (he of the strange, strained and inconsistent ‘political reasoning’). The FISA court should have severely sanctioned/fined/even imprisoned the DOJ lawyers who lied to them.
Yes, Collyer resigned. Fortuitously, for her.
Accountability in government is just like common sense – – both are lost commodities.
I’ve always said the Kenyan should be the target because he did more damage in his 8 years in office, than Shillary could ever do.
Anyone who thinks the Obama Admin. was scandal free needs to read The Worst President in History, the legacy of Barack Obama. It’s a good read even if you already know about most of the 200 scandals he was involved in.
Of course Joe Biden probably beats out Obama for that title, however, he’s not really the President. Let’s Go Brandon!
This was such a devious, circuitous, treasonous crime against the American people as well as against the president we elected and a most destructive cover-up that is on-going. We know that they will not stop because of what they did on January 6 to frame Trump supporters, in the subsequent persecution of those January 6 defendants, to Project Veritas, and to use and deploy Antifa and BLM. They have flouted and destroyed the Constitutional protections of citizens from government abuse and destroyed the equal protection of the law it promised. If this isn’t tyranny, far worse than the Intolerable Acts, I don’t know what tyranny would be.
When I have tried to explain all that went on to someone who doesn’t know much about it, they look at me like I am batty. It really is something so beyond ordinary experience and expectation.
Looking forward to Bill Shipley’s reaction…
Now, that’s funny!
Little by little we are getting there. It is tedious, nerve raking and excruciating but nevertheless by inches a win every day. Durham gives up a pawn to get a bishop and so it goes little by little.
“Durham gives up a pawn to get a bishop”
When are you going to wake up? Durham is part of the coverup. Sundance is right about that.
I haven’t given up on Durham. …. Yet.
He’s no different than Starr was. He’s the paint brush.
So, everyone still think that November election is gonna fix this?
There’s the issue… Everyone needs to move past that lie so we can have an honest conversation about fixing this.
If it isn’t fixed before the November election there will be nothing remaining worth fixing.
What is an FBI workspace? An agent at a desk with a computer linked to the FBI network?
No it’s Sussmann at a desk with an FBI Computer accessing top-secret FBI databases about you!
Well I wouldn’t be surprised if the workspace is in the moveable “SCIF”.
Though technically there shouldn’t be any outside connection. Who knows what liberties were taken with those pesky regulations, Just Saying.
What happens when a biologist or nuclear scientist becomes upset with their behavior?
They are quickly becoming too hot, to even be around.
In an even more alarming development, it will soon be revealed that Satan has a work space in Joe Biden’s brain. There is certainly plenty of dead space there.
for rent, at 10%
even satan has to pay. ha!
What is the definition of “all enemies foreign and domestic?” Enemies of a “seated” US government or enemies of the US citizens that “voted” to elect their legal and lawful constitutional representatives as the best “constitutional” government opportunity?
I recognize that our “God-oriented” revolution was successful because we followed Christ’s teachings and didn’t execute politicians or political opponents in mass, as seen during the French revolution of the same era. God’s rules not man’s rules.
The leftist political factions have done whatever they can to invalidate Christianity from the public mores, while admonishing, let the political left “eat cake” to paraphrase Marie Antoinette. White supremicists are evil, while most murders and drive-by shootings are done by people of “non-white” color.
If you never read Matt Bracken’s short story from 2012, we’re witnessing his story in real time. Prophetic? You tell me.
https://www.americanpartisan.org/2020/09/bracken-what-i-saw-at-the-coup/
WOW!
Sean Hannity hardest hit.
sean hannity, that has marshall arts training? like jon kerry served in viet nam.
Awesome reporting Sundance. This casual off site “scif” they made for mere convenience may be the crowbar that derails the reset express.
Copies will go out tomorrow.
Thank you for your work and your endurance.
Godspeed.
there are 5 former seals and numerous other pissed off people that will take office in 2022. i think things are going to get interesting for these scum.
2023.
So Barr, Rosenstein, and presumably, that old shoe from Selma, knew that the FBI was tied tightly with Perkins Coie? They did nothing. Great, The country is a worse zombie than I supposed.
The outright FBI and DOJ corruption keeps amazing me more and more!
Sure hope those that haven’t been around since at least 2015 take the time to read this entire expose. It is necessary.
And don’t miss the link sandwiched between the last two pics – it is easy to overlook.
It looks like this – “Support CTH HERE”
Trevon Martin, Benghazi, and now Russiagate. Each time you outdo yourself.
THANK YOU
One could assume this workspace portal had a specific IP address.
If they were serious about investigating this, they would be able to determine exactly what was accessed and by who over the past 10 years.
And contact every individual targeted to let them know how they have been targeted.
It’s the least they would demand of a private business if their customer database was breached.
Ever heard of VPNs? How ’bout TOR? Definition of both will negate your assumptions.
The only method that would be effective is to defund all the departments involved. “Congratulations, your budget for the coming fiscal year is $147.22. Please use it wisely.” Will there be enough GOP House members with sufficient courage to do this? Don’t bet on it.
That’s where the 40 Billion plus Ukraine aid was for. Just Saying.
Sundance, you must know the right people that have the right connections to get this material published. This simply MUST come out in a wider, bigger forum than just the Tree House. Even if it is OAN or NEWSMAX. Please! My children and precious
grandchildren’s futures are at stake, as is yours and times 320 million others. If this explosive info is not acted upon, WE ARE DONE FOR. May G_D be with you always!
We are the distribution network. Spread this through what ever means you have.
The FBI having a workspace in Perkins Coie, though shows the cozy Swamp relationship between the Democrat’s lawyers and the corrupt DOJ, is also to be compared to the Palestinians, ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, or other terrorist organizations when they hide in hospitals, orphanages, or elementary schools to conduct their terrorist schemes.
Devil’s advocate question’s that must be asked. Might even be worthy of its own post perhaps despite the fact it involves a single provider of hardware and software. Bare with me as I attempt to seek more understanding only. Not casting any stones or anything like that….
Amateur cj’s understanding of background to question: In 2015 following the San Bernardino attack was the first recollection of mine that made national news regarding litigation between the FBI and Apple where “the government” meaning the FBI was using the national media to put pressure on CEO Tim Cook and his execs to share an encryption key in the name of fighting terrorism. I’m not pretending to know everything between that day and Jan 14 2020 when Barr was being quoted as demanding (aka publicly pleading with) Apple to share info for the exact same thing once again. As long as that lead in might be, here’s my first question.
What proof is there that the FBI had anything besides temporary access at best to bypass the encryption key for the raw data transmission that’s clearly being captured and replicated through the data provider’s main regional transmission hubs by manipulating the powers granted by the Patriot Act?
Point being, any permission granted by Apple to comply could just as easily have been revoked by the very next firmware update which appears to have happened. For what it’s worth I conduct all online activity as if it’s monitored so I’ve got no dog in this fight beyond truth and common sense in case that matters.
To put this another way, in 2015 and again in 2020 the company referenced earlier was again being pressured by the FBI instead of the NSA (who’s likely had the most current encryption keys the whole time and probably still does). That’s the only logical explanation as to why a guy like Cook would’ve had reason enough to fight back against the FBI even if it was through passive aggressive tactics, is it not? As if I’m Cook I’m going why do they need it from us when we’ve already given it to the agency with jurisdiction over this? Just an opinion based on a troubleshooter’s most likely conclusion.
One last question. If the FBI truly had unfettered access to all data transmitted by all non burner cell phones then why would they have gotten the wrong Cohen?
Obviously I love the thorough analysis and hope my questions don’t come off as being too critical but there’s elements that just didn’t add up to me and I sought to understand first as the CTH preaches to do as one’s first motive in commenting. I am under no mistake that everything I do on this device is being tracked and can be read. I just don’t believe that’s able to be done except in very small portions outside of the NSA. Maybe we’re giving the FBI too much credit? Maybe I’m just naïve. Open to an explanation though.
Is there any doubt finding compromising information on Judge Roberts was done through said workspace? No wonder he is owned by the left. The SC leak was through him.
I’ve learned to trust the irony in things.
I think Durham may have won big in losing. Many things are now formally on the record in the public commons.
Even the jury nullification is now on the record. The Uniparty is now nakedly in the public eye. The cabal of SES insiders and their enablers in Congress, the machine politics, the DC court that is difficult to see as anything but corrupted and parasitized by a culture of self-dealing, a culture of intrinsically perverse nepotism and the equivalent of institutional incest with the myriad inter-locking executive and trustee capture by fiat of marriage and the revolving door that interweaves contractors, legal representation, consultancies, paid board and trustee positions, and foundations, NGO, investment banking and SES Federal Employment and “the afterlife” of paradise among the anointed beltway and monied elite.
The sepsis is complete. The government leadership culture is rapidly approaching full entropy.
Sussman et al is victorious.
It’s hollow; a pyrrhic victory. I think Durham’s evidentiary submissions established a sustainable coal mine fire within the inner chambers of upper government and SES.
This is just getting started.
Bravo,
I believe we have found our next 2000 mules movie, narrated by Sundance with the title being……….
The Crimes & Corruption of DC – (2012-2021)
Comrades, Let’s understand how The Party worked within the Soviet Union and in China. The Party Apparachiks were Senior to their non-party government bureacrats or military. As the Communist take over progressed all government positions of any worth required The Party’s membership.
The only question Here in the USSA is whether The Party controls or does the Deep State Intel control? A question without meaning, imo. It’s All intertwined; The Deep State Intel is almost enterely of and for The Party, the NWO Corporatists are all of, by, and for The Party.
I suspect the illusion of a “Republican Party” will disappear as the democRat Bolshevik Party brings it within their big tent as the illusion is no longer needed.
How do we print, bind and send a copy of this to every American?
Tucker is a fool if he isn’t reading CTH.
As this story is by far the single biggest story ever in American politics and not to mention the litany of crimes committed.
Why would this not also used for blackmail eg. judges?
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/
Logically, the Perkins Coie “workspace ” was not/is not the only one.
The main builders of the panopticon were the Bush family. House of Bush: Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Bill Barr, Carlyle Group, and on and on. They had to get first dibs.
Ergo, in a rational universe of DC swamp, House of Bush must have their own direct access to the NSA database via FBI cutout.
Same with the Obama/Holder/Jarrett/Rice crowd. Logically, this places another access point at Covington and Burling (as white shoe old DC, right on Pennsylvania Avenue as it gets), if they use the same model. Or, possibly, at Sidley &Austin (Chicago firm with a DC office).
Someone in the middle or over the whole must also control the keys to the kingdom and negotiate the terms of access. There must also be an agreement about divvying up the spoils, and non-aggression pacts between the three houses, or the whole thing doesn’t work.
So, does this mean that Gen. Flynn, when he hired Covington and Burling, had reason to do so beyond hiring “top notch lawyers?.” Eric Holder at one point literally physically stopped in on his case.
Hmmm. Gen. Flynn with a valid reason to be physically present at C&B?
Counterintelligence Sting?
Maybe wishful thinking, but we live in a universe with predictable human predatory behaviors, and the model that best describes the current state of affairs appears to be the mob families, except transposed into a political playing field. All selling out our country.
I had similar thoughts along these same lines. They think media and political institutions are the window into the American Mind. They think controlling media and political voice across the major foundations, public corporations, Big Law, Big Uni, social media and the Uniparty and derivative fiefdom at the state, county and municipal level controls the American Mind.
That Credence is gone for a generation or two. Absolutely gone.
The American Mind presides in a gestalt that spans a panoply of individuals who readily intuit what is going on by sight and smell. With each new insult and overreach, they see the creeping ennui of officialdom’s depravity and myopia; they smell the fetid stench of people who shit where they eat. The hubris has become unmistakably pervasive and pathological.
Just like this jury that nullified the Sussmann verdict, the officious who would rule no longer know The American Mind other than as something alien and unwelcome. We get the message loud and clear. They have become what they say they hate.
The American Mind knows them better and sees their depravity more transparently with each passing day.
They are not the cure. They are the disease.
Where is former NSA Mike Rogers currently? Sure would like to hear his take on the federal bureaucracy’s betrayal of the American people.
And the Jan 6 protesters are rotting in jail…
All of this is why I quit the Republican party in 2002 when they legalized this garbage under the lie of national security!!!
Another great “I told you so” moment.
You can’t out elect this, you must destroy it like a cancer.
Great resource, Sundance.
If Republicans ever win the White House again (implying a fair election), Sundance or Durham needs to be our Attorney General and then let’s make the Inquisition look like a garden party.
implies that the repubs are not part of this travesty — they are!
A lot of people have a skeleton somewhere in their closet. This was a good way for the corrupt Dems to get the dirt on everyone they wanted to blackmail. ie: Supreme court, Senators, Congress , MEDIA etc, etc. Probably best to kick all of their A$$es out and start all over. Also TERM LIMITS and AGE LIMITS .
This story is so cute but yet so painful. All in the name of power and leverage. And what is the end game? More power? More leverage? What’s that old saying? Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Time for the Lord to unleash one of his deadly plagues. I think the locusts would be apt for this bunch.
“Taste like chicken.”
As of yet no one has been arrested, the trial for Sussman was a formality from the start and the jury was a joke.
