Former Acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard “Ric” Grenell, gives his perspective on the FBI and DOJ conduct in their effort to frame a media case against President Donald J Trump. {Direct Rumble Link}
Ambassador Grenell walks through the distinct and important difference between the DOJ media narrative, and the actual non-issues that are being manufactured to promote the narrative. WATCH:
.
Meanwhile the useful NeverTrump Republicans are swallowing this crap wholesale. Rick Grenell did a bang up job with his explanation. The only person who has done it better is Mike Davis in his Fox News appearance and his many War Room gigs. The DOJ cannot make obstruction stick as the Presidential Records Act is not a criminal statute!!!
I don’t think they are swallowing anything. They are not only complicit, but are actively assisting the DC criminal cartel, and covering up their coup d’etat.
The republicans are not swallowing anything. They are purposefully advancing the narrative in order to eliminate the risk to their power structure that is represented by Donald Trump…. and by consequence, us!
The republicans are every bit a part of this Main Justice operation.
And what we are witnessing on Trump’s part is a hostile takeover. Be part of it.
Second that.
That’s the saddest and truest statement of all.
Unfortunately, the networks don’t have Grenell, Patel, and Davis on their shows, do they?
Hmm…
Sperry’s comment should be posted on every website, placed in every magazine and newspaper, and nailed to every telephone pole in the country.
I’m sure the networks will be exited to air this.
…And it will exposed the pallet of cash and corruption on the Iran deal..
“Hmm…” is right.
Ric was ripping the “journalists” all morning on twitter, telling them to do their jobs, not just parrot the DOJ party line.
The ‘journalists’, of course, are in on it.
always were…hard to advance the narrative without active propagandists
Nails it as usual
Yes, Ric was spot on!
I also hope the court grants Trump his request for a Special Master Review. It’s so frustrating that the Courts frequently work AGAINST Trump.
As that case falls under Clarence Thomas, who better to be Special Master, unless that means he would have to recuse any subsequent SCOTUS appeal.
After the DS involved his wife concerning J6, he may have to recuse anyway.
Grenell is wrong about the rank and file. They are CORRUPT. For every honest agent there at 99 corrupt actors. The FBI, DOJ, and Government in general selects for corruption.
That being said, Grenell made a fantastic point about that staged photo: THE FBI HAS JUST FABRICATED EVIDENCE. Plus, the manner in which they staged the photo (staged means rehearsed and inauthentic) indicates that they may well have planted data at MAL to stage the photo.
That photograph is all the proof Trump’s lawyers need to not just get a Special Master appointed, but actually to get the judge to quash the warrant entirely and order DOJ to return every box and every scrap of paper of face contempt of court proceedings against the agents and lawyers involved.
They have already disappeared the documents that show their guilt.
And they will plant evidence, probably already have, and will use that to try and convict. Even if it means another raid.
This is the reason why they didn’t want witnesses to their search and the reason why they didn’t itemize what they took during the search.
Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016 is the key – hope you find this useful.
I found the information below from Brian Auten to be especially important because it reveals more about the relationship between Peter Strzok and Director James Comey at the time they worked on Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016.
Actual notes from FBI officials, that were never turned over per Patel, referenced below. It makes it clear that Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok knew — before Crossfire Hurricane was opened in July 2016— that the Trump-Russia story was full of lies paid for by the DNC and Hillary’s campaign, therefore the only conclusion possible is that Director James Comey knew.
We already know, from other documents, that Peter Strzok was a double agent running the Crossfire Hurricane operation for both the FBI and CIA concurrently. And thanks to the following from Brian Auten we know that Director James Comey was briefed on Crossfire Hurricane. We now know that the CIA Director John Brennan briefed then-President Obama on Crossfire Hurricane. So it would seem Peter Strzok was reporting to Director John Brennan too.
“A 15-year FBI veteran, Brian Auten assisted the case agents in providing information on the reliability of FBI informant Steele and his sources and reviewing for accuracy their information cited in the body of the applications, as well as the footnotes. He also sifted through the emails, text messages and phone calls the FBI collected from the wiretaps on Page. He met with top Crossfire officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, briefed McCabe and then-FBI Director James Comey, and even ran meetings with case agents and analysts regarding the election-year investigation, which he testified “was done as a ‘headquarters special.”

———————————
The best way to convict “is with their own documentation,” Patel observed. As in, follow the money. That’s how Durham connected the Clinton campaign with the Perkins Coie attorneys and Fusion GPS. Last week we learned that Durham will be using as evidence the actual notes from FBI officials, which, Patel reminds us, were subpoenaed by the Intel Committee long ago but never turned over. These make it clear that Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok knew — before Crossfire Hurricane was opened — that the Trump-Russia story was full of lies paid for by the DNC and Hillary’s campaign.

Mueller knew on Day 2 of his Special Counsel stint if not before and Weismann knew far before that and yet $30M+ and almost 2 years later they act as if there was still a cause of action
Well stated Richard
before I even listen, I am pleased to see Grennel walk forward and make his experiences known. I have been waiting and I hope this is not the last time we hear from Richard on this matter.
I am ALSO interested in hearing from John Ratcliffe.
Both of these two people were directly responsible for making declassification happen relating to cross fire hurricane classified material.
This is why the raid and ransacking of MAL happened. They want to place that material back into the black hole of classification. A re-re-classification. This is the goal of the DOJ…it is supported by the current administration, clinton, obama, and nearly the entire congressional membership and especially the gang of 8 former and present. And of course, the FBI. All of these PEOPLE are working WITH the DOJ to ensure this material does not go into the public viewing. They will argue successfully in court that “due to classification”, “national security”, this material is not to be viewed under any circumstances by the PUBLIC NOR ANY COURT PROCEEDING.
They will black out ever single element showing evidence and intent and motive of the conspiracy and coup to steal the election and to criminally falsely allege criminal activity by President Trump. They will refuse to allow the national security conversations that went out and back and forth between key players of this coup that will establish the blatant motivation and intent for these criminal actions.
Grennel and Ratcliffe both are key people who understand and have knowledge of this material. It will be in their own best interests, as well with kash patel, to begin opening up and discussing this material, with specific. This will also mean they will risk indictment for obstruction. (very likely)…and the standard 3 o dark hundred swat raid at their homes.
but if they think they are safe by staying quiet ..this is a mistake.
So it pleases me to see grennel move out and get in front of a camera and microphone.
Let’s hope he and ratcliffe will understand this is the moment where they can make a difference and show the material at least in general terms. I understand the value of avoiding actual dissemination via a leak by either of these three. But they need to think along with President Trump how a leak might be able to happen and still avoid direct indictment.
I say, leave the laptop in a repair shop and don’t bother to collect it. I know some shops that would be happy to make sure any contents are leaked out to various press orgs.
be creative. And be intelligent in strategy. One pull, two birds.
God Bless America
Yes!
I would suggest that distributing 1000+ or more, copies worldwide from remote servers. Releasing them concurrently would get the job done.
The dark web could accomplish the same thing.
The servers should expect to battle to stay up and running.
It occurs to yet another instance of the asshats stepping on their d*cks, is this raid, IN COMBINATION WITH their boneheaded move of volontarily inserting themselves as Defendants in PDJT’s RICO case against Hillary et. al.
In both civil and criminal trials, sometimes on legal team will be “busted” caught red handed violating the ruled of fair play of the legal system.
When the Judge “catches” them in such an act, rather than declare a mistrial, they can “sanction” the offending side, the equivalent of a yardage penalty in football.
They have wide latitude, from ruling against their motions, refusing to include their arguments in the Judges statement to jurors at the outset of deliberations, to in the extreme ruling in the other parties favor.
Dismissing the charges without prejudice, because of blatant 4th amendment violation by the prosecution due to “fruit of the forbidden tree” is an example of how extreme such remediation can go.
IF this RICO case gets an honest Judge, the fact that a DEFENDANT (the DOJ) raided the home of the plaintiff and siezed documents including attorney/client material covered by priviledge, COULD Compel the Judge to SANCTION the defendants, severely tieing on hand behind their back, in order to try to “even things up” which is the idea OF Sanctions, much like a yardage penalty in football.
IF they had not VOLONTARILY had themselves included as a defendant, this would not be the case.
You’re assuming a judge “Sullivan” won’t be assigned this case by doj.
Any time they want to stop following unconstitutional orders is fine by me. Blaming your bosses doesn’t save your job from my perspective.. The whole agency needs to go.. Period.
Have always been impressed with Mr. Grenell.
Thanks for posting this video clip. Ric has a very calm and insightful way of explaining situations so most can understand. I hope he gets more air time on shows…just like Mike Davis has. Maybe we will see him on Tucker tonight.
Also you are missing out if you wont watch War Room with Steve Bannon. Just saying.
Agree on War Room. Between multiple daily doses of CTH and War Room I’M FREAKING DROWNING IN INFORMATION, ANALYSIS, AND INSIGHT. Raging case of Information Fire Hose over here…
Mr. Grenell states the relative issues as they are from a position of law, integrity, strength and dignity.
Thanks, Ric 🙂
The obstruction of justice is from the FBI and DOJ
You need an honest judge with courage to rule against the corrupt DOJ/FBI to expose the truth about their crimes. I just don’t know if such a person exists. These are powerful interests and they will do anything to keep the truth hidden. And these judges have families too they don’t want to endanger.
This is an interesting explanation of how the FJB regime created the pathway for the Mar-A-Lago raid (JD Sharp, 59 seconds)
Almost glossed over is Grenell’s mention of digital copies.
Possible explanation of the rifling of Melanie’s personals and breaking into pres Trump’s personal office safe separate from his scif. If it was declassified then that means both digital and hard copies were declassified.
Possible that “thumb” drives” are out there anywhere.
Please leak one.
Loyal ABC (Disney’s Pravda) “News” viewers have never heard that Special Agent Thiebault is no longer employed by the FBI.
