So many bombshells… no indictments???????
Apparently, all our bomb shells are duds.
We dropped the good ones on Iran & sent the rest to Ukraine 🙄
The grand jury is being formed. Too bad this will happen in DC.
Because of the Mar-a-Lago raid, it could very well be Florida – and perhaps already impaneled.
That’s true.
Wonder if they’ve found evidence that proves the Obama Administration knew the five-alarm fire about Trump and Russia was false, which would instantly remove their, exceptional circumstances require exceptional actions, defence.
If that does happen, I wonder who is going to be the first ‘suicide’ victim that the press will instantly transform into a martyr? My money’s on Comey, he’ll sing like a bird if he thinks he can escape serious consequences. Maybe his X account will have one last message, made from shells, quoting Hamlet’s soliloquy, or something equally pompous that the clean-up crew can think of.
James Wolfe, former head of security for SSCI, is the one the DS cut loose. He is the thread that could unravel the knot. Did Warner tell him to leak the Page document? Was it the first time Warner asked him to leak?
Comey is a Clintonista. Bill put him and Lorreta Lynch at SDNY. Comey handled the Sandy Berger case to make sure it didn’t reach Clinton’s inner circle. Then he handled Hilary’s email server investigation.
Omerta is strong with the Clintonistas. Comey won’t be talking.
Andrew McCabe or Bill Priestap may be a different story.
Bill Priestap was Peter Strzok’s immediate supervisor. From reading the Strzok/Page texts, I got the sense that Strzok would have been happy leaving Priestap in the dark as much as possible. In fact, Strzok wrote and approved the Russiagate EC on 7/31/2016. He was able to do so because his boss, Priestap, was in London and he (Strzok) was the man temporarily in charge.
Maybe Priestap is sufficiently annoyed.
As I recall, Priestap (Deputy Director FBI, Counterintelligence at the time) went to London{?) with Strzok as part of an initial investigation and thought the Russian collusion was bs. Strzok convinced him to keep the investigation going. And I think you are correct, I suspect the “Bill” that Strzok and Page routinely mock in their texts is Priestap.
Comey also tossed him under the bus when Rep. Steafik’s questioning was getting too close for comfort (the look on Rep. Goudy’s face in that video is also interesting).
So yes, Bill Priestap may be sufficiently annoyed. But what does he actually know?
Chances are that Priestap knows more now than he knew then.
Sherri Young: “Chances are that Priestap knows more now than he knew then.”
If Priestap has been reading CTH all these years, he knows a lot more than he knew then. Moreover, he knows more than just the raw informational content of the historical facts. He knows what it all means inside the larger conspiratorial context.
Nice to hear from the younger generation regarding what they thought/think now how it all came about. Tulsi is making it hard to refute but luckily many are shaking the scales from their eyes.
Taibbi and his interviewer thinks that the C1A in the Watergate era would find it unthinkable to spy a campaign. That’s pure naivety and taught ignorance. The CIA was a corrupt organization from it’s inception. Democrats created i5 to smuggle thousands of Nazis into America. That organization would do ANYTHING for Democrats. It’s a Democrat party tool.
Agree…JFK 11/20/1963
11/22/63– Sorry, I remember it well. And, I agree with who was involved…. tragic.
President Truman and President Eisenhower wanted to eradicate the CIA. Why that never happened is another unexplained bunch of BS.
Taibbi also stated that the CIA was so incorruptible at the time of Watergate, that Nixon had to use White House operatives to carry out the break-in and bugging of the DNC headquarters in the Watergate Hotel. But Nixon didn’t authorize or even know about the operation, did he? I always heard it was a rogue operation of the Committee to Reelect the President, led primarily by G. Gordon Liddy, Nixon’s crime was trying to cover it up, not for its execution.
Taibbi glosses over some very important points about the CIA and Watergate:
In many ways Watergate was all a Deep State setup to bring down Nixon. Nixon had no knowledge of the burglary beforehand, he only got enmeshed afterward when he tried to protect his staffers who got caught doing the burglary. The scandal was blown up into the huge event it was by the ongoing Drip Drip Drip of carefully curated information leaked out to Woodward and Bernstein by the #2 at FBI Jeff Felt (aka Deep Throat) and stage managed by JFK’s buddy Bill Bradley the editor of WaPo.
WaPo Editor was Ben Bradlee, Boston snooty, early CIA connections, not really a buddy of JFK. His sister-in-law, Mary Pinchot Meyer, had an affair with JFK. She was murdered on the Chesapeake-Ohio Canal towpath after the Warren Commission report came out in ’64 and she disagreed with it. Bill Bradley, from Missouri, played basketball as an undergrad at Princeton, Class of ’65, then a Rhodes Scholar, back in NY playing ‘ball with the Knicks, then elected US Senator (D) from NJ. Reelected a couple of times. Not sure if he’s alive or dead at this point.
These are the American “elites”. This group will never be held to account because of their “royal” status, especially in dc. Get with reality folks, nothing is going to happen to the high “echelon” individuals like the clintons, brennans, comeys, etc.
Too bad the custom of providing elites the “gentleman’s option” is not still followed …. when an elite was in prison and on their way to much worse … a pistol was placed in their cell as an offer to avoid the “much worse” and resulting scandals.
For the gentleman option to be viable, they typically have to be capable of feeling shame for their misdeeds. Alas, our elites are incapable of shame. And why would they? They’ve lived their entire depraved lives with zero consequences.
Sociopaths or psychopaths feel no guilt, let alone feel shame!!
Matt Taibbi said, “I wrote a story in late December of 2016 right away saying the headline was something about this Russian story stinks. Did not make a lot of friends in the for saying that and my calculation about this was this is either the biggest intelligence coup of all time where the Russians got a Manchurian candidate into the White House or it’s the biggest intelligence fraud of all time on our side, but I just I could not imagine that the CIA, the FBI, the White House and and everybody in the media could be in on a deception that big….”
There is a really long list of crimes by the feds. They created the Russiagate/spygate hoax, spied on a presidential candidate and then the sitting President. When they didn’t find anything, they made it up and they framed and impeached on trumped-up charges a sitting President of the United States. Then they manipulated the 2020 election, following which there was the January 6 Fedsurrection. Rep. Clay Higgins said that there were more than 200 federal assets and ghost walkers involved in the J6 crowd–that tore down the barricades, restricted area signs, and more. And nobody talks about the 13 antifa-style agitator groups in the J6 crowd including Antifa and neo-Nazi groups like Atomwaffen Division and Stormfront. And if that wasn’t enough there was the J6 fed pipe bomber who used a key card hundreds of times to park in DOJ/FBI garages. All of that was done so that Congress could declare an emergency session on J6 to preclude the efforts of the states who planned to challenge Biden’s fraudulent electors. Next citizen Donald Trump was impeached a second time for allegedly inciting J6. Then 3 days after Donald Trump announced his candidacy for 2024, unconstitutional special counsel Jack Smith was appointed and tried to imprison President Trump with a 37 count indictment, staging a gestapo raid on Mar-a-Lago along the way. Senile Joe Biden tried to secure his bid for the 2024 presidency by assisting Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Fanni Willis to either imprison Trump for 500+ years or bankrupt him, or both. And what was the feds involvement in the assassination attempts against Donald Trump? It would seem that some of these feds violated their oaths of office and probably some federal laws like like Title 18 USC § 1001 (falsifying information), 18 USC § 241 (conspiracy against rights), 18 USC §242 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law), and possibly some RICO laws.
President Trump took a victory lap at the DOJ in March and said that he would demand full accountability because these really, really bad people, these rogue and corrupt forces broke the law on a colossal scale and need to go to jail for the rigged election and their egregious crimes. Will President Trump and the other patriots ever get the justice that they deserve?
What will Kash Patel do at the FBI? Sundance said “Unfortunately, the FBI cannot be reformed. The FBI needs to be closed, disassembled and a new smaller federal investigative agency opened in its place. Devin Nunes said that these dirty cops have to go to jail.
What will AG Bondi do? Will she provide full and complete accountability for the wrongs and abuses that have occurred, expel the rogue actors and corrupt forces from our government, and send them to prison for their egregious crimes and severe misconduct as President Trump called for? Or will she follow in the footsteps of Bondo Barr? So far most of what I have heard her say is “…for the most part, for the most part, the great men and women of the justice department, the FBI, DEA., ATF, US Marshals, all the agencies that fall under the Justice Department, they’re out there working hard every day for the most part. You know, those people — FBI for instance, they didn’t go to raid Mar-a-Lago, and that’s over, too. The weaponization has ended. They want to be out there fighting violent crime…” Sounds like Bondo Bondi. No better than Bondo Barr.
Yes sir Blondo Bondo Barr Earl Schieb $99.00 Dolla any Colla.
Why so hard to file one indictment from a massively bloated Federal Code with scores of bad Democrat actors spanning literally a dozen or more years?
Answer: Because they don’t want to.
– Comey’s daughter worked for the Feds.
– Durham’s son.
– Barr’s daughter.
Etc.
It’s an incestuous group feeding at the trough.
Circular protection.
Because the whole Jenga tower will come tumbling down if you take out the wrong piece.
What happened to the Twitter Files expose that suddenly stopped?
Better check the virtual burn bags.
Elon pulled the plug, but only after big revelations about suppression of free speech and the FBI’s role.
Twtter, Ruusiagate, Epstein, Ukraine, The Fed, and the Old Folks Home that is our Legislature (sort of, in theory) goes on vacation becuse they can?
The Bureaucracy has ADD and the Legislature has Narcolepsy,
Narcolepsy may be too easy on CONgress. How about drunks on an extended bender on the taxpayer dime?
They will drag out these interviews in front of Congress all of September through November, nothing will happen prior to spring, and even then it probably will fizzle out
Just recall what Congress did (or rather, didn’t do) after all the Adm Mike Rogers et. al. testimony on the 702 spying from overseas bad actors (contractors of the 3-letter agencies) that Mike discovered early in his tenure.
“Mistakes were made” was the conclusion, and it was all swept under the rug. Meanwhile, much of that was part and parcel to setting up the mechanics for Russiagate. And absolutely no protections were put into place to stop it from happening on an ongoing basis.
Congress is where investigations go to die.
Yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn,…….!
On a more positive note, Kristie Noem said that all age restrictions for applying for an ICE job to clean out all illegal aliens are removed. I signed up, I’m 74.
Sounds like fun for all ages.
I don’t think they’ll take me. If the Government has to round up and deport 20 million illegals, they will need massive numbers of ICE personnel. On their website nurses and other medical staff are needed, but you have to relocate. Pay rates are very good BTW.
It’s been fun to watch in real time a reporter who takes their task seriously to have their illusions dissolve and then decide to go for it, dig into things, find truth and not be afraid to report what they find.
My first indication that Matt Taibbi was of that caliber is when Elon Musk kicked Taibbi off of the Twitter files discoveries, due to the reporter actually reporting what he was finding.
Reporters like Matt Taibbi, Sharyl Attkisson, and now Amanda Devine working their way to Make Journalism Great Again! Having the swamp turn on them most likely helped them to make their decisions to step up and take this task on, free, unafraid independent journalism being the hidden aspect of why the 3-branch government system works.
Bill Evanina was the director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center at the ODNI during Russiagate. He has since retired and started his own firm.
What could Evanina tell us?
Near the end Kennedy and Taibbi are discussing how this will be called a “-Gate” scandal when it is so much greater than Watergate.
They say comparing this to Nixon that Watergate took place inside the Nixon Whitehouse because the “honorable rank and file” of the IC would never have done stuff like this dirty work for Nixon.
They Miss the point that the IC has been lining up to slime Republicans for decades.
Witness the “There are WMDs” farce the IC put out on GWB.
I think we have discussed how in a high stakes card game, two of the player will team up to bankrupt the third, so they can finish the game just between themselves.
If you are in a three hand game, and you know this takes place, you will know it IS taking place in your game.
If you don’t know who the Sucker is, you really DO know.
YOU are the Sucker.
The IC Deep state only works for one side in this game and Republicans, not even RINOs, are in it.
Republicans in Washington are ALWAYS the Sucker.
FYI, Matt lived in Russia for a while, working as a journalist, and speaks fluent Russian, making him all the more credible in my eyes.
Agree
We all know who the bad guys are. It has been exposed. Declassified, so what. But of course this is all Kabuki theater for the MAGA crowd. No indictments will be forthcoming. The statute of limitations has conveniently run out on these bums. Legally there are going to be no convictions, no prison terms. They will walk. The system is set up to protect them. They knew they could get away with it because they control all the levers of power in the Deep State. Remember our government and our elected representatives are all lawyers. They also get to appoint the corrupt judges. That is all you need to know about this corrupt government. Until the people get smart and throw these representatives out nothing will change.
“I’ve tiptoed for years around what I believed to be true about this case, worrying some mitigating fact might emerge.
Now, there’s no doubt.
Hillary Clinton got in a jam, and the FBI, CIA, and the Obama White House got her out of it by setting Trump up. That’s it. It was a cover-up, plain and simple…
…
These people just can’t stop lying. The whole thing is one endless lie, the reason for which is now clear.”

Is Taibbi gay or is that Glenn Greenwald? A gay family member wants to know.
Not gay. Married with children.
No, it wasn’t Papadopoulos that was used as the predicate to open the Crossfire Hurricane case against the Trump Campaign. It was Carter Page’s trip to Russia that was originally leaked to the New York Times as the predicate for Crossfire Hurricane. That was published by the New York Times in April 2017. The story was changed in December 2017 because it became public knowledge that the Steele Dossier was financed by the Hilary for Amaerica campaign operation, laundering the money through the Pekins Coie lawfirm which called the expenditures “Legal Fees.” Comey’s FBI frequently leaked to the New York Times because Comey had a close friend working at the Times. They leaked the first predicate, Carter Page’s trip to Moscow to the Times and a group of attorneys shared the byline. When the article claiming Papadopoulos was the predicate in December 2917, after it was public knowledge that the Clinton campaign paid for the Dossier, the New York Times didn’t bother to have different reporters named as the writers. The same reporters who wrote the April article about Carter Page were on the byline for the Papadopoulos story.

That young guy (PapaD) was treated so unfairly.
He did have his own Crossfire designation, but it wasn’t Hurricane.
I listened to Matt Taibbi right after Tulsi came out with the first disclosure…..and what he said I thought was wrong…..and I checked it out and…I was right!
Matt disagreed with the FACT that what Obama, Hillary and their comrades have done…and continued on with was treasonous. He said he did not think it rose to that level and also incorrectly stated for there to be treason…a war had to be going on. WHAT?
Well….this was most definitely wrong….and looking at the two things that must occur for there to be treason, it would appear that both were committed by Obama and his team!
So I appreciate what Matt did with the Twitter files…..helping us with free speech….but he does not seem to be up to speed with the treasonous activities of the Obama regime. I’ve been watching, researching and paying attention to this since the beginning….and have been with Trump all 3 times he ran….and to me…there is no doubt…thi is was treason and needs to be met with severe accountability.
Personally…..traitors should be hung! And we should have military tribunals since the judiciary is corrupt and has been infiltrated! And those hangings should be nationally televised so all Americans can see and know what happens when you are a traitor to America!
Maybe the world should cover the justice that we all hope is coming!!!
