Hopefully everyone can see the assembly of datapoints that are creating the 2024 redux of 2016. Previously we noted how Iran is the new cover story to justify investigative leaks and throw a legal bag over Trump surveillance. [SEE HERE]. Iran 2024 replaces Russia 2016.
Now we see another similar datapoint in advance of the IC’s next move. Devlin Barrett moves from the Wall Street Journal/Washington Post to New York Times.
As the Trump-Russia script is replayed, Devlin Barrett replaces Ali Watkins as the IC leak recipient who joins the New York Times in advance of the October surprise launch against President Trump.
The reference points most people are familiar with here, is Ali Watkins moving to the New York Times after she received the leaked [and non-redacted] full Carter Page FISA warrant, on March 17, 2017 from SSCI Security Director James Wolfe.
Wolfe leaked the Carter Page FISA application to journalist Ali Watkins. Despite Wolfe’s lawyer denials; and despite Ali Watkins denials; and despite Yahoo denials; and despite The Washington Post denials; and despite the New York Times denials; Wolfe DID leak the FISA application.
The reason the media needs to deny the leak is because these same media outlets were falsely reporting everything about the FISA application. The biggest names in U.S. media (WaPo and NYT) had the full and unredacted FISA application in March of 2017, and spent the next 15 months lying about the content to support the fraudulent Trump-Russia narrative. Heck, Ali Watkins was likely hired by the New York Times -from Buzzfeed- specifically because she had the FISA application.
The media had the full and unredacted FISA application in March 2017, two months before the Robert Mueller special counsel even started. The FISA application was made public by the special counsel on July 21, 2018, partly because the media already had the FISA in circulation. The media had the application for sixteen months before it was made public, by the special counsel, one month after James Wolfe was indicted. (more)
Moving to the New York Times brings in bigger institutional lawyers who can guide the exploitation of the classified documents. ie. how to write about them, shape the story to the best narrative against the adversary (in this example President Trump) and avoid legal jeopardy.
The NYT works in synergy with the DOJ-NSD, toward common political ends. After James Wolfe leaked the FISA application to Watkins, the NYT exploited the content, writing about it, shaping information to their journalistic allies, and seemingly pretending they do not have it (because it was illegal).
Devlin Barrett was the person used by Lisa Page, Peter Strock and Mike Kortan to leak DOJ/FBI information about the Steele Dossier investigation. Barrett works on the outside of the DOJ/FBI silos, sharing information that is shaped from inside the DOJ/FBI and in some cases DHS. He is a stenographer for their presentations to the public.
Barrett jumping from WSJ to NYT is proactive positioning in advance of Trump term-2. Nothing more. The IC likely has provided him direct information about ongoing operations, and the NYT will legally guide Barrett’s reporting on it.
If 2016 continues to be replayed, look for Devlin Barrett to be the vessel for the IC moves against President Donald Trump.
Iran 2024 replaces Russia 2016.
Barrett 2024 replaces Watkins 2016.
Next?
Keep watching….
What a country!
What can you say other than, “Commies will be commies.”
Creative thought and innovative ideas are what Americans are known for.
Communists use a hive mind that prevents creativity, so they just replicate same old ideas.
You literally just said they are Un-American.
#McCarthywasright
When they demonstrate what they are, believe them.
In journalism class at Yale with all the other pussies,
“and then Devlin in October what do you do?”
I, ahh, blaa, blaa, %@&#*
“oh, excellent Devlin, exactly, that’s just what it takes to be a journalist! I think you’re going to get an A!”
And that is the creation of generational boredom, nauseatingly boring.
SD: I’m confused here.
Russia was used to claim Trump received foreign help.
But Iran is now being used to claim Biden/Harris received the help this time.
What’s the angle to Iran, unless they are being used as a deflection to blind side with something else?
I’m having trouble seeing the play here.
Russia was used to cover the surveillance of Trump.
Iran is used to cover the surveillance of Trump.
No one is covering this the way you have and continue to do…no one. Thank you,
Ah, I get it now.
TY!
Iran the new bogeyman,the monster under the bed.
Is it too early to ID the supporting actors, e.g., Carter Page and George Papadopalous(sic?) It’s open as to who the Iranians will be, but who in Trump’s orbit will be accused?
Kennedy?
Possibly, this Olivia Nuzzi episode may be an attempt to spear him; Jr. may be too politically savvy to target though, he’s got loads of inside experience as to how they operate, and, if he’s got a revenge motive, he’d be a dangerous target for them.
Surveilling Trump while ignoring Iranian hit teams.
Yep. Sounds just like Biden admin flunkies.
Iran is a closed country where no information comes out. They can make up anything they want.
And so can the good ole USA
I also think it’s the connection they will use when it becomes apparent that the IC writ large are behind the assassination attempts- which they are not done with- the embedded call to action in the “shared” letter the other day says as much.
Iran had actors, people were compromised….blah blah blah….we had to surveil.
The Iranian document will have made up lies about what they learned in spying on Trump. It will fall apart just like Russia dossier but it will leave considerable damage just like the Russia lie did. The Irian lie will also give the IC probable cause (in their minds) to keep Trump under their surveillance (like they did Gabbard but even more so).
BK: Thank you for asking the question.
Corruption replaces corruption. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Let’s do something different this time.
OK. We’ll put the brass and woodwinds over here where the strings were, and the strings on the other side.
New piece of music?
No we’ll use the same music but with the changes in seating it’ll look different.
It’s a shame, but the Sowell quote is true.
Actually most of the current leftists are way too dumb to ever admit they’re wrong about anything. They’ll watch America crash and burn while still blaming PDT & conservatives
My take is that leftist are traitors, and know that they are traitors.
It is not an accident that they are working to destroy America. Their grandchildren may or may not eventually figure it out and regret the consequences, but not todays leftists.
PS slightly off topic: I have heard that Gore Vidal is a descendent of Arron Burr
Let’s all congratulate Devlin, by phone and email, and tell him we will be following his corruption with much interest.
Ask him if he hears much from the Love Birds these days.
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
Great idea!
Flood him and NYT with snarky emails and tweets.
Love it.
Let’s do it. How much IC flack will I get if I post this on his X account?
DB, so they’re positioning you already just in case a retreaded Russia 2.0 is needed? Wow, how time flies! For future reference let’s call it the “Persian Prevarication” i.e. the Iranian stuff.

Should I?
Do it!!!
I did. Posted a link to SD’s article to his Twitter account.
Currently looking for a goodmeme that shows undercover person captioned with “you’ve been made” or “your cover’s blown”
Bravo!
It would be more effective if it was repeated by others. I’d like him to know there is an awareness of their activity by regular citizens.
I think it would be fun for Trump to name names like this. Why not? “Declines Barrett to NYT. Can’t wait to see what bs the Intel Community leaks to the NYT which will then engage in false reporting. Should be prison time for Devin Barrett. When I win in November, we’re going to get to the bottom of spying on my campaign and jail the “leakers”!”
Something like that.
I’m all in favor. People will ask questions and hopefully do research. Stick to the facts that have been established. When the msm sycophants cry “conspiracy theory” read off the list of conspiracy theories that were proven true.
Election interference. EOs address it.
Agreed
Burn down the silos and the conveyer belts sending in the seeds.
We’ve seen this movie before.
But we still haven’t seen the ending.
They already filmed the ending they want.
But the test audience passed on it…and they know it wouldn’t fly…
Can’t Trump (if elected) just jump past them and declassify to expose whatever is being covered up?
Gatekeepers and custodians of the original classified materials pretty much have a stranglehold on it.
The President may have plenary authority by virtue of it being granted to him as the Chief Executive by the Constitution, but little can happen without the compliance of the ones who maintain the physical possession of all of it.
Fire them?
They certainly do seem to be planning for Trump Presidency. However, the replay “can” be avoided by not hiring another Jeff “I recuse myself” Sessions, and firing Wray. And there is ample reasoning for the latter.
James Wolfe is one of my favorite (spit) characters in all these charades. Leaking information for years and ultimately caught. Then threatening TPTB with disclosure.
I wish more than anything we could get a “where is he now” expose. My bet is living on a 50+ foot yacht in the Bahamas with funding from his millions in off shore cash earned from the three letter agencies.
Who is Barrett being screwed by to get his info, as Ali did?
👉He’s the screwer👈
If there was ever a strong reason to eliminate the special protections the Communist press is covered by it’s now.
Their downfall is an idea that has never entered their heads.
Comey was the leaker to the NY Times.
These folks might be the Deep State’s Target to get Trump. Or, they’re plant(s). Iranians for Trump was launched by Sarah Raviani, spokesperson for the group, and Nasim Behrouz, the Persian-language spokesperson. The group says it wants to improve global stability
On Day 1 Trump needs to fire everyone in the DOJ and FBI and start over rehiring only the good guys/gals.
The second part can be accomplished on a 10-minute bathroom break.
Disgusting, I truly loathe leftist globalists.
I said in an earlier comment to Treehouse last week that it was obvious to me that the IC’s latest Trump/Iran conspiracy is just a rehash of the IC’s Trump/Russia conspiracy from 2017. And of course the purpose(s) of both conspiracies was/is to derail the Trump 45 and Trump 47 Presidencies.
The point of saying that isn’t braggadocio, but simply to note that if the latest media/IC mechanations are obvious to an amateur political observer like me, how many tens of millions of other Americans who didn’t see it in 2017 are seeing it now?
All of this reminds me of Aesop’s fable, ‘The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf,” because the lying little boy, just like the lying media/IC perps, don’t seem to understand the fact that once you’ve been caught telling a whopper, nobody will believe you when you do it again.
As Honest Abe once said, “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time…but nobody cares about the latter because they’re morons!”
I’m paraphrasing here.
what was Wolfe’s motivation to leak the FISA? money? sunlight? altruism? gop vs dem?
Girl parts.
naturally, poontang
“Complicated Business” caption for that last photo of PDJT comes to mind.
45 comments here. Why? I just accidentally found this page. Is Google et al playing games?
These bastards deserve to be afflicted with a terminal disease for what they are doing to President Trump.
Do these proactive jockeying moves on their part indicate they feel Trump is going to win. I don’t think they would feel the need if they were being told the cheat will be enough.
I mean these moves do give me some comfort in that it seems they are resigned to the fact he will win.
Laser accurate analysis by the incredible Sundance.
FILTHY LIBERALS need to pay for this Country tearing lie.
Canadians have little Potato Rat Communist Trudeau who uses a similar Country tearing lie about Indians being mass murdered in Canada.
FILTHY LIBERALS have no shame.
Thanks SD. Here we go again. This time with the Devlin Barrett iteration of Iran, Iran, Iran.
Even more illogical as POTUS Trump exited the Iran deal during term 1. But logic is not the Marxist mentor.
A vessel with a strategically placed hole or two in it quickly becomes an empty vessel.
Speaking of Lisa Page, she is now working at Amazon liaising with foreign law enforcement on Amazon’s version of Starlink. More shenanigans afoot.
To HELL with them ALL
VOTE TRUMP 2024
ASAP
He’s not leaving his job. He’s being transferred from one office to another.
The deep state’s propagandists and mouthpieces haven’t been a trusted source of news and info since baby Bush was in office. (Weapons of Mass Distraction ’01).
They make Tass and Pravda under the Soviets blush.
Pres Trump calls them correctly, Fake news and enemy of the people!
Iran would be prone to work in alignment with Deep State on these assassination attempts, yes. Both have form here. And motivation. Thus, Deep State needs to control all data re Iran. Presto, an investigation pops. Much like Russia Russia Russia. Coverup needed. Our host nailed it.
Plus IRAN IRAN IRAN might help Deep State vs President Trump, later. Encumbers his negotiations for sure.
AIPAC and the Uniparty and Deep State need to hogtie President Trump, and force him to adopt their position against Iran, much like they do with Ukraine/Russia. This is likely part of that.
Zelensky and Netanyahu literally stood in front of Congress and issued their orders to the Uniparty, which are to be obeyed.
Blessings and prayers for protection and complete and total victory for President Trump.
Always MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️👊👊
