Here we go… It was only a matter of time before the DOJ-NSD architects of the Trump targeting operation came out from the shadows. This is the moment long-time readers of CTH should have been waiting for. For the past five years Mary McCord has been one of a small and select lawfare group organizing the targeting of President Trump.
Mary McCord led the support team who created the Carter Page FISA warrant using the Steele Dossier to replace the required ‘Wood’s file’. McCord was the DOJ-NSD official who traveled with DOJ Deputy AG Sally Yates to talk to former White House counsel Don McGhan which weaponized the Flynn-Kislyak call to remove Trump’s National Security Advisor.
Mary McCord was the person who organized Alexander Vindman and Eric Ciaramella to construct the first impeachment effort. Additionally, it was Mary McCord along with her former legal counsel, turned Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson, who changed the ICIG whistleblower rules allowing an anonymous complaint to underpin the false accusations from Ciaramella against Trump.
It was also Mary McCord who was appointed by FISA court Judge James Boasberg as an amici curia to the court, intercepting issues of false information in filings from the DOJ-NSD to the court as constructed by Kevin Clinesmith.
It was Mary McCord who then took up the lead congressional position within the impeachment construct created by Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, and it was Mary McCord who then joined the January 6 Committee in the committee fight to obtain President Trump’s white house records.
Mary McCord surfaces today with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos to outline what her team has currently constructed, including the specific targeting approaches her DOJ-NSD and Lawfare crew have put together.
As noted by McCord, the ‘obstruction of justice’ angle is a repeat of the threat used by the Deep State to keep the criminal conduct of the DOJ-NSD from being exposed. WATCH:
When the Carter Page FISA application was originally assembled by the FBI and DOJ, there was initial hesitancy from within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) about submitting the application, because it did not have enough citations in evidence (the infamous ‘Woods File’). That’s why the Steele Dossier ultimately became important. It was the Steele Dossier that provided the push, the legal cover needed for the DOJ-NSD to submit the application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against the campaign of Donald J. Trump.
When the Carter Page title-1 search warrant application was finally assembled for submission to the FISA court, the head of the DOJ-NSD was John Carlin. Carlin quit working for the DOJ-NSD in late September 2016 just before the final application was submitted (October 21,2016).
John Carlin was replaced by Deputy Asst. Attorney General, Mary McCord.
♦ When the FISA application was finally submitted (approved by Sally Yates and James Comey), it was Mary McCord who did the actual process of filing the application and gaining the Title-1 surveillance warrant.
A few months later, February 2017, with Donald Trump now in office as President, it was Mary McCord who went with Deputy AG Sally Yates to the White House to confront White House legal counsel Don McGahn over the Michael Flynn interview with FBI agents. The surveillance of Flynn’s calls was presumably done under the auspices and legal authority of the FISA application Mary McCord previously was in charge of submitting.
♦ At the time the Carter Page application was filed (October 21, 2016), Mary McCord’s chief legal counsel inside the office was a DOJ-NSD lawyer named Michael Atkinson. In his role as the legal counsel for the DOJ-NSD, it was Atkinson’s job to review and audit all FISA applications submitted from inside the DOJ. Essentially, Atkinson was the DOJ internal compliance officer in charge of making sure all FISA applications were correctly assembled and documented.
♦ When the anonymous CIA whistleblower complaint was filed against President Trump for the issues of the Ukraine call with President Zelensky, the Intelligence Community Inspector General had to change the rules for the complaint to allow an anonymous submission. Prior to this change, all intelligence whistleblowers had to put their name on the complaint. It was this 2019 IGIC who changed the rules. Who was the Intelligence Community Inspector General? Michael Atkinson.
When ICIG Michael Atkinson turned over the newly authorized anonymous whistleblower complaint to the joint House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee (Schiff and Nadler chairs), who did Michael Atkinson give the complaint to? Mary McCord.
Yes, after she left main justice, Mary McCord took the job of working for Chairman Jerry Nadler and Chairman Adam Schiff as the chief legal advisor inside the investigation that led to the construction of articles of impeachment. As a consequence, Mary McCord received the newly permitted anonymous whistleblower complaint from her old office colleague Michael Atkinson.
♦ During his investigation of the Carter Page application, Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered an intentional lie inside the Carter Page FISA application (directly related to the ‘Woods File’) which his team eventually tracked to FBI counterintelligence division lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith. Eventually Clinesmith was criminally charged with fabricating evidence (changed wording on an email) in order to intentionally falsify the underlying evidence in the FISA submission.
When John Durham took the Clinesmith indictment to court, the judge in the case was James Boasberg.
♦ In addition to being a DC criminal judge, James Boasberg is also a FISA court judge who signed-off on one of the renewals for the FISA application that was submitted using fraudulent evidence fabricated by Kevin Clinesmith. In essence, now the presiding judge over the FISA court, Boasberg was the FISC judge who was tricked by Clinesmith and now the criminal court judge in charge of determining Clinesmith’s legal outcome. Judge Boasberg eventually sentenced Clinesmith to 6 months probation.
As an outcome of continued FISA application fraud and wrongdoing by the FBI in their exploitation of searches of the NSA database, Presiding FISC Judge James Boasberg appointed an amici curiae advisor to the court who would monitor the DOJ-NSD submissions and ongoing FBI activities.
Who did James Boasberg select as a FISA court amicus? Mary McCord.
♦ SUMMARY: Mary McCord submitted the original false FISA application to the court using the demonstrably false Dossier. Mary McCord participated in the framing of Michael Flynn. Mary McCord worked with ICIG Michael Atkinson to create a fraudulent whistleblower complaint against President Trump; and Mary McCord used that manipulated complaint to assemble articles of impeachment on behalf of the joint House Intel and Judiciary Committee. Mary McCord then took up a defensive position inside the FISA court to protect the DOJ and FBI from sunlight upon all the aforementioned corrupt activity.
You can clearly see how Mary McCord would be a person of interest if anyone was going to start digging into corruption internally within the FBI, DOJ or DOJ-NSD. Then, as if on cue to keep the entire corrupt system protected, this happened:
November 4, 2021 – In Washington DC – “Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and the House Jan. 6 Select Committee has tapped Mary McCord, who once ran the Justice Department’s National Security Division, for representation in its fight to obtain former President Donald Trump’s White House records. (read more)
Mary McCord is the epitome of a person using a position to abuse the power within it.
Former Obama White House Counsel Lisa Monaco is now the Deputy Attorney General. John Carlin is back inside the DOJ-NSD as the Biden administration continued the Obama administration targeting of President Trump. Mary McCord returns back inside the House J-6 investigative committee put together to purposefully target Donald J Trump…
Now does the timing of Mary McCord surfacing publicly, immediately after the underlying search warrant used in the raid against Donald Trump, make sense?
McCord is the architect, the actual person putting lawfare strategy into lawfare ink and action, for the Trump targeting operations.
Mary McCord is one of the enemies. Mark it down, Queen of Spades. She is the one working in the shadows with no name to facilitate the illegal persecution of the Former President.
Why do we keep seeing the same faces and names? Isn’t there any other Lefty lune that could be chosen? We need to see the groundwork of the Left BEFORE Trump makes office. The swamp just might take decades to dispose of! Trump is doing one helluva job exposing the Left of their dirty deeds!
I think when the left gets the war they think they want the swamp will be gone in a month and left to rot in the sun at the Vinyard and vacation homes .
Maybe not appropriate for CTH, but looking at the bone structure of her face, I have to ask what her birth gender is?
Bingo…..Mary could be Marty…
Those are ‘Marty’ shoulders too.
Yup, I to thought Mary looked more like a Martin.
In order to not offend the Left, I will cover for all of us and say that Mary can be whatever s/he wants to be and we at CTH celebrate his/her choice! I thank Mary for showing me that wo/men do not need to go on TV and put one smidgeon of make up on. Way to stick it to the patriarchy, Mary! Let’s Go Girls!/////
This photo looks like a baby picture of a just born Mike Pompeo after his head got squeezed too tight in the birth canal.
donald suderland, much????
I kinda thought s/he looks like Anderson Cooper
ha!
Too manly
The entire malevolent Marxist cabal must be executed for high treason. This isn’t just an attack on the presidency and the election system, this is an attack on the foundation of the Republic.
These smug traitors must all hang! Let’s see if they’re so smug hanging at the end of a rope.
The GOPe would never allow it.
The McRINOs need to face a firing squad too.
They get the same treatment , the only way it gets fixed is to never leave anyone of them breathing .
Dang!!! That’s a human being?
Only if you can still be considered human after you have sold your soul to Satan and are now inhabited by demons.
Then yeah, it’s a human being.
Sundance: Thank you for all of your analysis. Please see the linked 30-odd page memorandum discussing the Mar-a-Lago raid. The memorandum is written by an attorney, and focuses both on fairly setting forth the background of the raid, and in evaluating whether probable cause existed for the warrant to issue.

“Mary” McCord is a man. She has the face, the shoulders, and the neck of a man. Just another deep state tranny .
Mary looks more like a Martin. Not that it makes any difference when judging treasounous acts.
Hi Mary!
Face of evil. Pure and simple.
WHY are they ALWAYS so unpleasant to look at??
I want to know when he had his sex change operation.
It’s the demon inside them.
Another leftist traitor.
As a biological rule, any ugly man or woman is suffering. They will not go to have a “pair”. They will not see, nor feel, any healthy one living with them. A void life, full of loneliness until its end.
They are a good ground for planting, rising, hate. And envy.
There are the rare exceptions to affirm this truth.
A Purge…BAMN…Is called for….
the face of EVIL
And the continued coup by the leftists, by the Communist Fascist Totalitarians…. globalists. and nothing is done to stop them… to hold them accountable… and far too many Republicans are aligned with them and stand idle to allow them to destroy the nation.
Traitor. Pure and simple, and should be treated as such.
I wonder if Mary McCord was one of the “beach friends” of Christine Blasey Ford during the Kavanaugh debacle, I always hated that ulta vague answer.
MITCHELL: And you texted — been advised to contact senators or New York Times, haven’t heard back from Washington Post. Who…
FORD: Yes.
MITCHELL: … advised you to contact senators or The New York Times?
FORD: Beach friends…
MITCHELL: OK.
Also
I don’t know who paid for my hotel and polygraph test( the afternoon of my grandmothers funeral, or maybe it was the next day, who knows). And guess what? I flew there. Oh and that polygraph, it was only two questions, neither of which were about Kavanaugh. But hey, I passed so that’s all that matters. And my PhD in psychology definitely, in no way, helped me with it or my testimony today.
My friends on the beach encouraged me to continue contacting the media with my story (because we were running out of time). I can’t name them, so we’ll just call them beach friends. Yet while giving such great advice, none were willing to be character witnesses. Meanwhile, Judge Kavanaugh had hundreds of character witnesses step up in a matter of days.
Thwarting their evil, corrupt attacks is called “obstructing justice”? She’s Justice like Fauci is Science.
It has to be more than transgenderism. This must also be demonic possession. These people are always the same.
Mary McCord needs to be hung for Treason.
One of your best, most informative articles.
On a positive note, it was not s/he who turned the 2020 election. As such all the moves accomplished veey little. S/he is a failure.
I suspect Dan Abrams is a democrat, but I have always found him fair. The same can not be said of that little Stephanopoulos midget and that homely Mary McCord
Liars? Lawfare my big ole butt, more like warfare of Rich Connected-vs-Poor Working Class or, Political Class/Corporations/Paid Enforcers-vs-Meek Working Class raising families doing what God created US & The Natural Resources too continue for millennia. Global warming is weather, been changing since beginning of time. Resources everywhere including ones we haven’t figured out yet. Everything else is Elite’s wanting power & control over everyone else’s life. Corporations of Chad’s & Karen’s that need to have there butts handed too them. Let the elite’s eat cake!!!
Lawful is Natural God Given Rights. These lawyers work for the crown. Maritime, Shipping, Commerce Law. It’s why your God Given Rights have been stripped at every step. They look at us as cattle. Bought & Sold, tricking is legal if you are dumb enough to consent. Think taxes & enforcement by barrel of gun. How Red Coat of them!! I never seen that in the American instruction manual for our country, our Founding Fathers gave US???
Big difference in Legal vs Lawful. Read up on God’s/Natural Laws/Constitution vs Maritime/Shipping Laws. See why they hate American’s, see where our F you attitude’s came from. Knowing History is similar to knowing the future!!!
Then see where you think you stand? What does your country or, state see you as? Are you a Living Breathing Free Man of the Land or, commodity, to be bought, sold, shipped or, dead creature of the sea in the Birth Canal? You can’t serve mammon & God! Do not consent ever!!! Never ever consent!!!!
This paragraph from NewsTimes dot com says a lot about Mary. He/she’s the Exec. Director of what?
“…At the moment, he is working as a visiting professor of law at Georgetown Law and as the executive director of the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection. He does not use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, thus Mary does not have a profile on such platforms.”
Mary McCord for firing squad.
Mary McCord is, and has been for years including Muh Russia, a close friend of Laura Ingraham at Fox Nooze who follows Sean “rank-n-file” Hannity now busy pushing his Turkish Pasha Mehmet Oz… when not hosting another NeoCon fraud named Lindsay Graham.
There are NO coincidences in the intelligence world. Same names, same faces as Russian collusion hoax, impeachment hoaxes, Communists media propaganda etc.. this is just another hoax by anti-American leftists.
And there’s that DC-Beltway high-school clique, smug smirk in almost every picture.
Doom On Them
Mary McCord puts the witch in witch-hunt.
