Just a quick post to draw attention to the latest Twitter File #14 drop by Matt Taibbi [REVIEW HERE]. Thankfully, Taibbi is using the Twitter files to provide historical context against events that were happening at the time the documents are now revealing in hindsight. Cheers to Taibbi.
[Twitter File #14 HERE]
Essentially, as Taibbi is pointing out, various DC politicians were working feverishly in early 2018 to maintain the fraudulent narrative around the Trump-Russia investigation.
Why is this timeline important, because retention of the fraudulent Trump-Russia narrative was critical to support the predicate of the Robert Mueller (Andrew Weissmann) Special Counsel. As Taibbi notes, “On January 18th, 2018, Republican Devin Nunes submitted a classified memo to the House Intel Committee detailing abuses by the FBI in obtaining FISA surveillance authority against Trump-connected figures, including the crucial role played by the infamous “Steele Dossier.” The entire DC apparatus was going bananas about the Nunes memo because it undermined the predicate assumptions of the Trump-Russia probe.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was the specific stakeholder institution intent on retaining the Trump-Russia fraud, because the SSCI was one of the institutions who helped construct it. Again Taibbi, “On January 23rd, 2018, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) published an open letter saying the hashtag [#ReleaseTheMemo] “gained the immediate attention and assistance of social media accounts linked to Russian influence operations.” The intelligence community politicians were furious that various Twitter accounts were tearing apart their precious, and false, story.
Into this mix comes the work of former Dianne Feinstein staffer Dan Jones who was funding various entities like “Hamilton 68” to push propaganda. “Feinstein, Schiff, Blumenthal, and media members all pointed to the same source: the Hamilton 68 dashboard created by former FBI counterintelligence official Clint Watts, under the auspices of the Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD)”. The goal was to pressure Twitter to remove content that could eventually take apart the Trump-Russia narrative. Teh justification they were using was that Russian groups were behind the Twitter pushback.
SIDEBAR from CTH ARCHIVES – A fantastic catch by Twitter user “15poundstogo” previously highlighted a key phrase within the Senate Select Intelligence Committee (SSCI) Russia Report Volume-5, showing how the SSCI allowed those who created the Trump-Russia narrative to avoid questioning:
This is a very important detail to underpin previous reporting we shared about former Dianne Feinstein top staffer Dan Jones attempting to avoid a subpoena from U.S. Attorney John Durham. [SEE BACKGROUND HERE] This key highlight from the SSCI is evidence of how the attempted coup against President Trump was coordinated by people outside government and inside government.
Dan Jones left the SSCI prior to the 2016 election and went to work pushing the Trump-Russia narrative through his media contacts. Jones took over funding Fusion-GPS and Chris Steele in 2017 at the same time Senator Mark Warner took over as SSCI vice-chairman. Dan Jones and Mark Warner coordinated the efforts outside and inside government on the same objective. The Senate Intel Committee was part of the effort.
As a result of their alignment and common purpose the SSCI didn’t investigate the origin of the Trump-Russia narrative; and instead positioned themselves as a shield to block any investigative inquiry into what took place.
The attempt to remove President Trump from office encompassed all three branches of the U.S. government.
- Executive Branch – FBI, DOJ-NSD, CIA, State Dept., and eventually the Special Counsel Office.
- Legislative Branch – SSCI in 2017 and 2018 with an assist from House Intelligence Committee and House Judiciary in 2019 and 2020.
- Judicial Branch – FISA Court 2015, 2016, 2017; Federal Judges (Sullivan, Walton, Howell, Berman-Jackson) in alignment with DC intents in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
How does the office of the United States president; and more importantly a constitutional republic itself; survive a coordinated coup effort that involves all three branches of government; while simultaneously those in charge of exposing the corruption fear the scale of the effort is too damaging for the U.S. government to reveal?
[EARLIER REPORT] – […] When President Trump won the November 2016 election all of those participants involved in the use of government offices and agencies for corrupt political intent had a real problem. Immediately, a lot of strategic planning took place by a lot of desperate people.
One of the key needs of the corrupt intelligence apparatus was to find a way to stop the incoming administration from exposing their effort; that’s where the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) comes in.
Senator Dianne Feinstein was vice-chair of the SSCI in 2016. Feinstein’s former chief of staff was Dan Jones.
The post-election plan to protect the intel community would involve using the SSCI institution to cover for prior Obama-era operations. Senator Feinstein was not a good fit for that role, so Feinstein abdicated her position in advance of the next congress in 2017.
In January 2017 Senator Mark Warner took over as SSCI vice-chair after Dan Jones left the SSCI to continue efforts as a freelance operative. Warner was put into place to carry out the strategic objectives needed to protect the DOJ, NSD, CIA, FBI and ODNI operations against Donald Trump who was now the incoming president-elect.
Keep in mind with control of the SSCI the group inside the legislative branch could control who ran what intelligence agency because they held the power of confirmation; and they could control who would rise to be inspector general within the intelligence community, a position needed if a whistle-blower was to surface. The SSCI would only allow Michael Atkinson to act as ICIG – That’s because Atkinson was part of the 2015/2016 crew.
Additionally, the SSCI would control intelligence information and assist the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel after appointment. The SSCI could work as a sword and a shield as needed. Which is exactly what happened. That background, the motive of the SSCI, explains every point of conflict and corruption we have seen from the SSCI.
Meanwhile Dan Jones went freelance and in 2017 was given $50 million to fund an investigative outfit called the “Penn Quarter Group” and create a new organization called the Democracy Integrity Project.
“Jones told federal investigators that he had raised $50 million from “7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California.” (link)
Jones used both groups to continue selling and pushing the Trump-Russia narrative. Also, it was important for those at risk to find an alternate route to keep financing their defense without using Clinton’s legal team within Perkins Coie.
Essentially, in 2017 Dan Jones, through his Penn Quarter Group, took over funding for Fusion-GPS and Glenn Simpson and kept paying Christopher Steele. The payments to these entities and Steele always looked more like a pay-off to keep their mouths shut. Jones was essentially the bagman for continued Trump-Russia operations outside government. Jones’s second job was to keep pushing the Trump-Russia narrative in the media (read more).
Back to Taibbi today:
“NBC, Politico, AP, Times, Business Insider, and other media outlets who played up the “Russian bots” story – even Rolling Stone – all declined to comment for this story. The staffs of Feinstein, Schiff, and Blumenthal also declined comment.
Who did comment? Devin Nunes. “Schiff and the Democrats falsely claimed Russians were behind the Release the Memo hashtag, all my investigative work… By spreading the Russia collusion hoax, they instigated one of the greatest outbreaks of mass delusion in U.S. history.”
This #ReleaseTheMemo episode is just one of many in the #TwitterFiles. The Russiagate scandal was built on the craven dishonesty of politicians and reporters, who for years ignored the absence of data to fictional scare headlines.” (more)
Of course, it goes without saying and everybody knows that if the tables were turned — and this corrupt nonsense was being perpetrated by Republicans instead — there would have been numerous anonymous Twitter employee leaks at the time exposing it.
Interesting… I have always felt that John McCain was probably up to his neck in the “Trump-Russia narrative”along with some of his minions, including but not limited to Jeff Flake and Lindsey Graham.
I would be surprised that McCain, or one or more of his minions did not make contact with twitter to keep up the false narrative.
Yet we are not seeing the requests to twitter from the so called republicans?
Seems I remember one of McCain’s employees had something to do with going to Ukraine and bringing back….not sure if it was the dossier or some other documents that painted Trump as a possible “Russian” stooge. Of course, McCain did his duty to pass it on…to DOJ??
Forgive my memory, course this has been going on for years.
I think Sundance wrote about it???
Yes, Team McCain were the bagmen for the dossier.
Lyndsay’s Boyfriend, that FILTHY LIBERAL SOB McCain was the one who helped legitimize the Steele Blackmail BS.
He helped ruin your country. I hate him almost as much as the Jug Eared Kenyan and his husband Big Mike.
Personal wouldn’t mind a bit if McStain was some how was still alive just so we could watch him die again.
He was. He gave info to the FBI. There is indeed nothing like a willing donkey.
“…yet we’re not seeing…”
How much do you need to see?
They announce themselves.
“I gave [the Steele dossier] to no one except for the director of the FBI.”
– John McCain, Oct. 19, 2017
And multiple cries of “Worse than Watergate” from the usual suspects.
Funny how Taibbi phrased this: “…– even Rolling Stone – all declined to comment for this story.”
Taibbi used to write for Rolling Stone.
Goodness, Dianne Feinstein is the bearer of one ugly mug, and it ain’t the kind holding Folgers!
One person that I’ve always thought that kicked into the “Democracy Project”
50 million slush fund is Rob Reiner. The continued vitriol he constantly displays
about any and all things Trump makes much more sense when you think of it in
terms of Meathead getting his $$ worth.
Believe it was last week, but a Treeper posted about plentiful sightings of Mark
Warner in the “village”. (NYC) . Dan Jones seems like someone who’s made a few
visits to the vicinity. Don’t know if they’re an “item” but they seem to have similar
interests in things like framing and malfeasance.
The staffs of Feinstein, Schiff, and Blumenthal also declined comment.
Now you add Reiner.
Interesting.
Just a hunch. But I’ve had it nagging in the back of my head ever since
the “Democracy Project” story broke. Reiner has the inclination (politically).
Probably has the $$$ from the residuals from all his blockbuster movies from
the 90s,
I know, replying to myself. But hasn’t Reiner been one of the biggest
pushers of the Russia narrative since day 1? Those who pay attention to Twitter
can correct me.
He *totally* lived up to his reputation as the Lefty “Meathead” in real life.
Totally!
Just like the Mafia; silence forever. Actually, not much difference in any aspect.
Reiner does seem like he might have a vested interest.
Rob Reiner was instrumental in passing all kinds of laws in CA so that they could collect tons of money and spend it on ridiculous things like Universal Pre School, etc.
Once again, nothing but a huge “slush fund”.
Wasn’t there a movie made of the Dan Jones story?
Just looked it up after I typed the question.

AS IF…
DiFi was quite a looker 70 years ago.
If that’s what being completely CROOKED does to you….I think I’ll keep being HONEST (at 83)
What good does that do her, she has an ugly heart, probably even 70 years ago.
When she was 50?!
ALL Dems are fugly!
You win.
She’s not bad looking for someone who has been dead for 5 years.
Diane Feinstein’s husband brought home flowers one day..at the door she said “I guess I’m gonna have to spread my legs now”..and her husband said “what?..you don’t have a vase?”
The best part of waking up…are uniparty tears in your cup.
I remember an article with an interview of a Muckety muck from the 2016 campaign. Might have been in Rolling Stone. Might have been Jared K talking about how mad FaceBook was going to be, when they realized how the campaign had leveraged FB – legitimately; sending messages thru the app and having rallies in places (Wisconsin) where the campaign could see support, the people were ready. And we won. And the machine was pissed.
I guess he was right 🙂
Thank you, Sundance, for all you do.
Thank you treepers.
I now smile when I go out to face what nobody can stop from coming.
May the gods bless us all.
“what nobody can stop from coming”
Is that a pessimistic or optimistic statement for MAGA?
It’s optimistic. The truth is coming out despite the opposition to it and nothing can stop what is coming
That background, the motive of the SSCI, explains every point of conflict and corruption we have seen from the SSCI toward the White House in the past four years.
This sort of criminality has been going on for (at least) four years, and absolutely ZIP has been done about it.
This is the main reason why a lot of people have ZERO confidence that anything will be done about it.

tnm me
It is time.
Isn’t there anyone anywhere able to expose (as you, Sundance, just did) and DO SOMETHING to break up this den of iniquity?
Is that “Penn Quarter Group” by any chance associated with the same university that is in the news today that had top secret documents in its possession that VP Biden illegally removed from the White House?
GMTA! Wondering same.
Me three.
What shame that Pennsylvania has such a bad name.
First we had Penn State and it’s corrupt Sports guy molesting young girls.
Then we had Mikey Mann molesting science with his global warming Hockey Stick graph.
Then we have a Penn squatter in the white house molesting little girls.
To quote a great Canadian scientist ‘they belong in the State Pen…
Doubt lt. Just the name Jones chose
“How does the office of the United States President, and more importantly a constitutional republic itself survive a coordinated coup effort that involves all three branches of government, while simultaneously those in charge of exposing the corruption fear the scale of the effort is too damaging for the U.S. government to reveal?”
Sundance – that is the perfect question and may explain so many of Donald Trumps actions while in the office of President and more importantly his actions afterward. He’s trying to find the right balancing act and timing so whatever does come won’t irreparably tear the nation apart isn’t he?
I think so. He’s trying to preserve the republic while it has stage IV cancer. I believe it can be done. But the tumor must die.
There is no balancing act. What President Trump failed to do was the obvious. Disassemble the Eric Holder Department of Justice. Completely. This could all be fixed pretty quickly when you start prosecuting criminals, especially ones employed by the federal government. This is no different than street crime in Chicago. The answer is to prosecute criminals. And until that department of justice is disassembled, no federal employee criminals are going to get prosecuted.
This guy would be a perfect example. When you let an a****** like this smirk and dissemble his way through a congressional hearing, and then he goes back to his Federal job and paycheck, you don’t have a system. You have an organized criminal gang that has captured an institution. https://youtube.com/shorts/58ik4CUklik?feature=share
How do you successfully prosecute the criminals when the judicial branch is part of the criminality?
Why does it have to be too damaging to reveal if the majority of Americans know the truth? Conversely, it might be healing and uniting.
Your answer is in your question. Being a volatile situation, too much of one thing irreparably destroys, enough of the other thing allows for correction and healing. Delicate balance given the irrationally emotionally triggered among our fellow citizens.
Hard to beat that unholy trinity for deceit, incompetence and anti-Americanism. But if not them, then some other equally repulsive trio that slithers through the halls of Congress.
Maybe it’s that beast slouching toward Bethlehem, knowing its hour to be born has arrived?
(Yeats’ “Second Coming” scarier by far than anything Poe ever wrote. “Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world”? No, the opposite, even scarier.)
“The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”
Only instead of the tightening circle, the gyre, with its “center (that) cannot hold,” I get a picture of a snowball rolling downhill, gaining momentum as it goes along, faster and faster each day…
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Wish we didn’t have to find out, but obviously, nothing is stopping it.

all central states fail…some are overrun and replace by better ideas…others collapse under the weight of corruption with little force from war and conflict.
this central state will fail for committing treason against the very reasons from which it formed.
the globalist want this to occur. They believe the answer to a failed state is unification into a too too too big to fail society. It attempts to answer the questions and limits of sovereignty by transferring power to the elite/intellectual group. Rome attempted to do this…and yet failed as it grew so massive it could not longer grow. Same with the colonial enterprise of the British Empire. East India, etc. Hitler and Nazi Germany attempted it and the world responded in the nick of time.
the central corrupt state of the US is working now in lock step with globalist agendas…to transfer power FROM THE PEOPLE, suffocate the very principle reasons for a Constitutionally limited Government and undermine the principle that power is at the consent of the people. The globalist see this as inefficient. So they created the pandemic bioweapon to put in place emergency state powers and to remove the people from the equation. The globalists financed this with no downside. The transfer of power and wealth and political control and power concentrated more in 1.5 years than it ever has in recorded human history. When we look at history, we get some clues about what happens next, but this shift is novel, like the virus. They will use manipulations and distortions the likes of which have never happened before.
the revolution///the reckoning..it iS coming.
ready OR not.
Stay Frosty.
God Bless America
Hillary’s comment after losing the 2016 election about them all hanging may yet come to pass.
That would be the day.

“If that f******g bastard wins, we will all be swinging from nooses!” — Felonia von Pantsuit
Pierced their hubris the system was pervasive and nothing like Musk would ever happen. Their belief is delusion making them dangerous once exposed. Their only options are retreat or fight now.
they will fight…retreat is not an option any of these globalist are concerned about.
and why would they.
it’s been unchallenged and protected by globalist commies within the highest posts of power and there is no indication that plan will ever change.
challenge accepted. I will not go gently. As long as I have a breath and a voice, I will never support this corrupt central state. Restoring it will require a revolution..political solutions to this threat are not realistic.
jmho
God Bless America
Yes, I believe they will fight. They will do as much under-handed evil stuff as they can to the American people along the way.
“Jones told federal investigators that he had raised $50 million from “7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California.”
Surely, someone must have the names of these people by now.
I’d would start with Zuckerbucks.
Said it above. Would almost bet one is Rob Reiner.
“Surely, someone must have the names of these people by now.”
You can find the source of the big bucks backing the PC-Progressive destruction of Normal America. The same list is used to source funding for all PC-Prog purposes–from the 2016-2020 coup, to electing more LGBTQWERTYUIOPs or Hakeem Jeffries. It’s the same well they dip into for unlimited funding for any anti-Normal operation.
See the PC-Prog website, BlueTent, to peek behind the curtain.

I’ve always wondered how Trump could stand this. He could have played golf and relaxed for the rest of his life. Not to mention what his family endured.
Me too…however the man ( President Trump) is growing more powerful by the week.
Hence his enthusiasm last week at the election of McCarthy.
I was perturbed at the goings on with the McCarthy endorsement etc.
However I am glad that my doubting nature appears to have been wrong.
Cheers!
me too. ….so “Far” it appears that the House may actually have some power …whether this is successful, there is no doubt this is a step in the right direction. I would like to be more optimistic, but experience with the maddening depths of corruption/graft and self enrichment is a regular temptation that few have ever resisted.
I will have optimism when a real prosecutor and a real case of criminal violations happens and real people are sent to prison to serve long terms.
I will have optimism when people are fired and money and benefits are removed.
I will have optimism when we don’t have to watch 15 attempts to just do the right thing, that almost got won out by status quo and the establishment continuing “business as usual”
I will have optimism when Congress repeals and permanently sunsets the most abusive patriot act laws.
I will have optimism when congress stops funding new green deal, reset bullcorn that has never produced a single benefit to the economic security of this country.
I have reasonable expectations. Until congress can begin to get back to the business of making the best environment that Americans can operate to thrive and grow, my optimism will remain neutral.
But these changes to the House are definitely a step in the right direction.
there is MUCH WORK TO BE DONE. Rules changes aren’t going to make that work happen.
It will take really talented honorable people in congress to get to work.
Do we have any?
God Bless America
Imagine the life lessons and wisdom Barron has been taught by his Dad and Mom.
I’m waiting to see how he evolves as an adult; if I live that long.
…and he’s multilingual. He’ll be a powerhouse…if that’s the road he chooses.
Don Jr and Eric Trump seem to be solid citizens.
He loves the country and he loves the challenge and the game of winning.
Can anyone really see President Trump retired?
I cant.
“As a result of their alignment and common purpose the SSCI didn’t investigate the origin of the Trump-Russia narrative; and instead positioned themselves as a shield to block any investigative inquiry into what took place.”
The most obvious answer is likely correct. All institutions want to survive and grow more powerful.
What a waste of taxpayer $$ for “debela guzica” Barr and Durham flying to Europe, Italy dining on wine and cheese, probably laughing, at the spying, which Barr said did occur. I detest that man as much as Trudope here. Disgusting evil, corrupt govno!!
I recall reading that the SSCI had to close (time?) their investigation into TRUMP RUSSIAN COLUSION————–
The chairman (RICHARD BURR) stated that “their was evidence to support it——–but they could not secure
enough evidence to prove their was NONE !”
Wish CTH could clarify this period. I still remember Mr Burr as a “STELTH SENATOR” ??
Also, Never forget the fact Sundance has previously stated that Senator Marco Rubio was also a member of the SSCI and must have known no later than March of 2017 the Trump-Russia narrative was false, yet never said a work. Fellow Floridians, never forget this fact, especially in Sen. Rubio’s 2024 re-election campaign. He must be exposed.
‘Little Hands’ Marco?
Wasn’t Rubio just re-elected?
very good. It is very important that we not just notice the crimes, but the people who were directly involved in them, and those that were directly supporting an agenda to protect those criminal actions.
This is how this central state became a shithole central for institutional corruption. It one crime and one coverup..over and over and over..until there is nothing but corruption.
God Bless America
Exposed and replaced would be a good thing for both Florida and the country.
2028.
At what point are the 1A violations too stark to ignore? Politicians coercing social media to suppress information debunking the collusion narrative and a special counsel based on that which already knew the accusation was baseless. My God this is an affront to every American. Does no one in congress or Law enforcement have the courage to pursue this?
And we get to pay for this treason against America.
“Executive Branch – FBI, DOJ-NSD, CIA, State Dept., and eventually the Special Counsel Office.”
And the DOD wasn’t exactly AWOL from the undermine and get Trump.
The generals.
Is ANY of this being covered anywhere in the MSM? Sundance knew all of this YEARS ago but now it has been independently confirmed, by a formerly Left-wing journalist, no less…but still deafening silence from NYT and WaPo, both of whom I believe won journalist awards for their coverage of the story back when everyone KNEW that Russians, working in cahoots with Donald Trump, stole the 2016 election!
I commented a few days ago… Taibbi has a particular interest in Russia, Russia, Russia(!)…
Today he writes:
“The Russiagate scandal was built on the craven dishonesty of politicians and reporters, who for years ignored the absence of data to fictional scare headlines.”
… but if you want his full break down from March 2019, primarily focused on the Mainstream Media’s role in perpetuating the fraud… here’s some light bedtime reading for you (it’s lengthy)…
“It’s official: Russiagate is this generation’s WMD

Disclaimer: Taibbi is no Trump supporter, per se, but he knows Bull Crap when he smells it.
So this #TwitterFiles episode today presents an interesting bookend to his early and consistent skepticism and criticism.
In his Twitter Files breakdown today he references a follow up Substack piece posted earlier today…

Why is he still a democrat? What about the communist democrat agenda does he support? IMO, all democrats are evil.
“R” has been the biggest problem, not the solution.
….” Essentially, as Taibbi is pointing out, various DC politicians were working feverishly in early 2018 to maintain the fraudulent narrative around the Trump-Russia investigation.”…..
haha. Understatement of the Century!
BS piled upon BS piled upon BS to keep that narrative going and suck it DRY.
PITY the poor idiots in the Dem base who actually believed that junk after all that time and howling.
And the Dem Politicians and their cohorts in the Media who kept the narrative alive are the ones who belong in jail.
What a shameful period in American history.
Publish all their names for all the world to see.
Thank. God. twitter got ripped out of the hands of crooks.
And how many republicans knew and kept quiet?
Everyone knew. Everyone.
Except some of the truly stupid Dem voters.
Everyone else knew.
A bunch! They either went along with it because they hated Trump (Speaker Paul Ryan) and/or hated Trump and were already corrupt (McCain, McConnell) or were just corrupt and went along with it to protect their fiefdoms and money (Richard Burr, newly retired from the Senate and SSCI biggie during Trump) or were wolves in sheep’s clothing pretending to be Trump’s friend (Lyndsay Graham)…and more, many, many more.
“Thank. God. twitter got ripped out of the hands of crooks.”. Amen, Sunnydaze. Amen
Elon……….C’mon man…release the Fauci Files!

Would love to see the files on Trumps impeachment about the Ukrainian phone call….that would be gold
The point about Senate confirmation as a means of thwarting House Intelligence oversight was laid bare when President Trump outflanked Senate Majority Leader McConnell and SSCI Chair Senator Burr by appointing Ambassador Grenell as Acting Director of National Intelligence in February 2020. Recall that Senator Coats of Indiana had been confirmed by the Senate as the Trump Administration DNI in March 2017 after serving on the SSCI throughout the entirety of the 2016 presidential campaign. And although he was responsible for declassifying Chief Judge Collyer’s FISA opinion concerning FBI contractor abuse of the NSA database during the campaign, he was also responsible for withholding the identities of the contractors who committed the abuse. He also never explained why the FISA court had been kept in the dark about the 2o12 Obama Administration Memorandum of Understanding that facilitated the abuse, through the entirety of President Obama’s second term, all of which saw him a member of the SSCI, until Admiral Rogers had informed the FISA court of the abuse in October 2016.
Also recall that when Coats stepped down as DNI in August 2019, President Trump nominated Congressman Ratliffe to replace him, but Senator Burr refused to consider his nomination in committee due to “concerns” voiced by the Intelligence Community that he might politicize intelligence, prompting his withdrawal and appointment of Grenell as Acting DNI. Only when it became clear that President Trump would not sign off on a renewal of the Patriot Act did McConnell and Burr accede to the SSCI’s consideration and consent to Ratliffe as DNI. In other words, President Trump held the IC’s precious ability to conduct electronic surveillance hostage to make sure a rubber stamp like Coats was not the next DNI.
Bottom line, the SSCI has been in on it the whole time. And any attempt to get to the bottom of how the IC community, including the SSCI, DOJ-NSD and FBI Counterintelligence, have been using every tool of the surveillance state to thwart the will of the people will be met by stubborn SSCI resistance. Arranging to lose the Senate during the 2022 midterms to permit Senate Republicans to continue to act like they want the truth while Senate Democrats block any and every effort to obtain it is probably why McConnell spent his PAC money the way he did. Do not underestimate the Machiavellian machinations here.
y that time, it was abundantly clear that AG Barr was not going to declassify anything about the Russia Hoax/Mueller investigation and the SSCI had already rejected Congressman Ratcliffe as a possible replacement for
Just wait till porker takes her place.. Just business as usual. nothing changes until we disconnect en masse..
Michael Atkinson testimony to House intel committee about Hearsay Whistleblowers was never released because of Adam Schiff. Now that Republicans have control will we finally see it.
This is the point where having Nunes in the senate would really count……
Speaker would have been nice
Devin Nunes’ committee turned over 14 requests for charges during the Russia Hoax committee investigation. Barr acted on exactly NONE of them.

CAREFUL WITH THOSE DOCUMENTS, JOE!!!😂😂😂
So the “MOUNTAINS of evidence of a Trump/ruskie collusion” by schiffty was something many already knew: A LIE.
No committee assignments for that one either.
Some of the same names always seem to pop up

Ah, Bill Kristol — surrounded by his peeps!
What did Biden know and when did he forget that he knew it ?
How on God’s little green earth did these Marxists think they could keep getting away with the hypocrisy?
It seems to me that they’re continuing to “get away with” it just fine even now.
And the answer to your question is until we decide to put a stop to it!
Brutal. Kash Patel spitting fire over Robert Hur, the special counsel appointed to investigate Biden.
GOP House needs to go full court press
and beat back the Democrats’ progressive socialist agenda
ON ALL FRONTS.

What were the names of the 7 to 10 wealthy donors?
“By spreading the Russia collusion hoax, they instigated one of the greatest outbreaks of mass delusion in U.S. history.”
They were just getting warmed up for the greatest outbreak of mass delusion in WORLD history, the Covid Scamdemic.
Trump-Russia is such a splendid example of post-modernism: the leftist obsession that anything can be made true if the collective believes it.
Man or woman? Purely your choice.
Global warming? Only the anti-science would ask to see some science.
Facemasks against Co-Vid? They work! Or try two..
Your leftist friends and co-workers have only become more entrenched in their faith in Russia-Trump collusion as the farce has played out.
I worked with a guy who wanted to see the NYC prosecutor charged with, something, for giving up on Russia-Trump collusion and resigning. Like Bigfoot and UFOs, we simply haven’t looked hard enough.
Donald Trump and I knew way before today that the Russian Bot cr ap and Russian interference in the 2016 election was horse manure. Did not need Twitter or Elon Musk to tell me that..
Like I said before The DC Cartel is scared shitless. When all the cards are laid out on the table and the irrefutable truth is known by all that care to see it the criminals/traitors are in big trouble. I doubt that the combined effort of all the stooges at The Mockingbird Mainstream Media Entertainment Complex will be able to cover it up.
