You may remember the year 2017, the first year of President Trump’s first term in office when the entire Main Justice, FBI and Intelligence Community apparatus was leaking manufactured, sometimes classified information, to the media.
Against President Trump’s furious demands, the Dept of Justice, Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein and Dana Boente announced a widespread ‘whole of govt’ effort to find the leakers in an effort to stop the outflow.
The leakers were later identified, albeit never prosecuted, as top DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community (DNI, CIA) officials. However, the insufferable hunt for them was also shown to be mostly nonsense, because the apparatus of DC just didn’t care.
With orange Hitler in the White House, the Washington DC Uniparty didn’t care how he was taken out – they just wanted him gone. We all remember it well.
In the latest release of information, from FBI Director Kash Patel to John Solomon, part of the leak hunting files has been made public. [SEE HERE]. I would note, the FBI file constructs are intentionally obtuse, because: (a) they come from multiple silos by design; and (b) they don’t outline a useful timeline to tell the story. This is done on purpose.
Now, before the Q-adherents and alt-media clickbait crowd start to generate false-hope soundbites and column inches from the data, let me be crystal clear:
Absolutely nothing will come of this release, AND that cannot be emphasized enough; because in the final analysis, evidence released to John Solomon – is, by its nature – never going to be used in court proceedings.
If the DOJ and FBI planned to use the evidence in court, they would not be giving it to their clickbait friends in media.
That said, here’s some first review perspectives on the release anyway.
The file release surrounds the investigation known as “Tropic Vortex,” another stupid name given by the stupid FBI to one of their information control operations, under the auspices of an “investigation.”
Tropic Vortex was triggered in January 2019 and made official in February 2019. It was the outcome of the U.S Attorney in Washington DC, Jessie Liu, sending an investigative leak file to the FBI for review and action.
Within the release, we find that Connecticut Attorney John Durham was used in March 2017. That’s new.
That’s a full two years before his name surfaced publicly via Bill Barr. Thus, the origin of the Durham spray paint operation surfaces sooner than previously understood. Interesting.
Durham was assigned by Acting Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente on 3/22/17, based on a criminal referral from [XXXXX] redacted? [That redaction is likely 28/29 characters] “House Intelligence Committee”? Possible fit.
[SOURCE]
March 22, 2017, was two days after James Comey’s first testimony to the HPSCI on March 20, where he admitted publicly for the first time President Donald Trump was the target of an FBI counterintelligence investigation.
[Comey’s 3/20/17 testimony was three days after SSCI Vice Chair Mark Warner and SSCI Security Director James Wolfe leaked the FISA to media. The intent was momentum for a special counsel. After the 3/17/17 FISA leak, it made no sense for Comey to keep denying Trump was a target. Hence the admission on 3/20/17.]
• Sessions recused March 2nd
• Nunes Presser March 16th
• Wolfe/Warner leak March 17th
• Comey Testimony March 20th
Nine months later, USAO John Durham completes his investigation, December 2017, and determines no criminal charge into the leaks is warranted.
However, things get interesting. We know from the Wolfe indictment, at almost the exact same time as Durham says there’s no ‘there’ there – move along, move along, the FBI is getting a December 2017 admission from SSCI Security Director James Wolfe that he leaked classified information to the media.
Following the December admission, the Mark Warner/James Wolfe leaking issues (evidence), indictment and plea deal take place throughout 2018. U.S. Attorney for DC Jessie Liu is in charge of the prosecution and plea agreement.
Then suddenly, in January 2019 [check the second paragraph above], Liu sends a memo highlighting what appears to be the Wolfe investigative file that “may contain information relevant to other FBI investigations of public disclosures.”
FBI Investigation “Tropic Vortex” is an outcome. The “unauthorized public disclosures of U.S. govt classified information.”
Jan/Feb 2019 “Tropic Vortex” is now a combination of several prior leak and classified document releases. Official notification of full investigation 02/04/2019.
As you can see, the CURRENT DOJ/FBI doesn’t want us to know the details of why USAO Jessie Liu was sending information to the FBI following the sentencing of James Wolfe. My message to the current AG/FBI Director is above.
[In the background, Jeff Sessions was fired November 2018. President Trump nominated Bill Barr December 07, 2018. Bill Barr was confirmed Feb 14, 2019. The Mueller probe is winding down.]
Tropic Vortex starts shortly before Bill Barr is confirmed as Attorney General, and originates as an outcome of USAO Jessie Liu sending something to the FBI which caused them to re-open the 2017 Durham investigation and generate an overlapping larger investigation with a new name.
The information from Liu, almost certainly about leaks to media, “may contain information relevant to other FBI investigations of public disclosures.” So, the FBI triggers a larger investigation to throw a bigger bag over all of it.
So, what was “Tropic Vortex” about?
Well, it’s a combination of several leak investigations, and would have been what was ultimately briefed to incoming AG Bill Barr and helped formulate his initial perspectives.
This part of the case AG Bill Barr was eventually handed back to John Durham for review in 2019. A considerable irony given that we now know Durham already looked into these matters beginning in March 2017 and stopped in December 2017.
Tropic Vortex existed as an FBI investigation from February 2019, until January 30, 2020. That’s when USAO Jessie Liu ended the investigation by deciding she was not going to prosecute any of the leakers.
USAO Jessie Liu resigned the following day, January 31, 2020.
Think about it against the fulsome context of what we know.
♦ James Comey leaked to media, admitted it and was not prosecuted (Durham ’17). ♦ Andrew McCabe leaked to media, lied about it three times, and yet he too was not prosecuted (Durham ’17). ♦ James Wolfe leaked to media, lied about it, then admitted he lied, and was given a plea deal that didn’t involve any prosecution for leaking.
How could USAO-DC Jessie Liu prosecute anyone for leaking anything given the context of these examples?
Hey, at least Kash is giving Solomon stuff to show how corrupt it is.
Just like John Durham, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are not going to do anything about it; but hey, we know the details now – so there’s that!
Why are Solomon and Hannity getting these news releases? There are many REAL journalists who are much more credible.
Sort of answered your own question.
yep…
Who, exactly?
Look, like it or not, Team Trump selected their go to’s for off the records a long, long, long time ago.
Beattie. Solomon. Carter. Herridge. For the heads ups.
To a more limited degree, Hannity. For the roll it outs to the public.
Team Trump has/had access to national security 2 hops on every journalist in town.
They decided on these four or five.
It is what it is, and the continued moaning about whether that selection was incorrect is just wasted breath.
Don’t forget Trump put Solomon on his presidential docs selection.
Totally agree. I feel as though someone here believes they haven’t gotten the credit they deserve, and I completely agree with that, but that was by choice. If you wanted the credit for the deep dives exposing the DS all these years, you should have yelled it from the roof tops on War Room. So stop your bitching, it’s getting old. You really must hate Solomon for receiving the credit you actually deserve, but opted to keep to this site. In the end, you may turn out to be right, but I’m not seeing it now.
I imagine our host is very non pretending which doesn’t fit well even in a decidedly friendly administration. Solomon et al make that their bread and butter. They like the parties.
country making money, millionaires/billionaires making money Vets still denied like always – everyone’s the same –
You Q-people are a weird bunch.
If you have evidence that would potentially be of value in a criminal indictment, you don’t give it to the media. You do understand that concept, correct?
The distribution negates its value in court.
Therefore, any information intentionally given to the media, is not evidence that can be used in a criminal investigation. Ergo, it’s for public consumption.
What is a “Q-people” ??
Is it the “Q” in LGBTQ ?
I take it, it’s not good.
I thought “Sundance” revealed that “Q” was actually 2 men and a woman? My own take on “Q”, aside from disgracing James Bond’s armourer, was that of a step above a “Carny” and maybe a step below Jerry Springer. I never put stock in anything “Q” proclaimed.
Sorry if I offended, that wasn’t my intention. And you’ve been my go to guy for years now, for real incite and background on all things Deep State. I appreciate it. That’s why I was taken aback when you started turning on Solomon. I’m just an old, retired, Christian guy up in Victor Co. who tries to give people the benefit of the doubt until I see otherwise. And so far, John has shown me to be a decent guy who wants to see justice meted out and is just the conduit. I could be wrong, but I’m not feeling that from John, yet.
And I’m not quite sure what to think about Q. A lot of people think Q is a DS psyop, but if so, I can’t see how it has benefited them. In fact, the few Q posts that I’ve seen and read have been fairly on point. Some think it could be Scavino, some Flynn, and some think it’s Trump himself, I lean more toward Scavino. It’s very interesting, but I don’t spend any time reading Q. The only Q I hear about is from Dave at X22. I like Dave and so far he’s been pretty spot on. Another interesting guy and always has a positive spin on events.
Bottom line, I trust God, and believe he chose Trump for this time, therefore, I trust Trump and believe God has given him the wisdom, courage, and the abilities to eventually win. I’m as frustrated as the next guy that we haven’t seen any arrests etc. , but I’m not going to spend the rest of my days getting all pissed off and saying justice will never be served, I refuse to have that mind set. By the same token, I’m not naive or gullible , I’m a common sense realist.
I understand your point on evidence, but again, I trust Trump and the the people handling this right now, although I still feel a little uneasy about Pam, but so far so good, that they have a plan in place, and that they wouldn’t be so dumb that they would intentionally sabotage a case by releasing evidence they want to use. I believe they have their plan of attack and that they are just trying to keep us impatient folks appeased to a degree with information through Solomon and others If you need cheering up, go listen to Dave at X22, it works every time.
It’s taken me a while to type this, I use two fingers only, and I’m starting to get a cramp, so I’ll stop here, much to the delight of all, I’m sure.
simplest way to go about it is exactly what was written to you.
if its evidence, it isnt handed to the media to make it null and void in court.
therefore Solomon has no use beyond informing us of cases that won’t be prosecuted.
Sometimes this stuff is just too hard to believe. Why in the world would Trump put Solomon anywhere? This is what makes me crazy. Any one of us, if asked, could find somebody better than Solomon or volunteer to do it ourselves for heaven’s sake.
Like maybe Sundance, but he doesn’t have anywhere near the audience.
Lol, you have no idea of the magnitude of Sundance’s audience.
It was always about threats to national security. It sounded so noble. The redacted mickey mouse is great!
It all stinks as to high hell.

Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Doesn’t this political nonsense just continue feeding the college professors who are indoctrinating your children that capitalism is so bad and socialism is so good? And they are being paid so well by you, to indoctrinate your kids! Our government isn’t bad, but the political choices being made on our behalf are killing us! Do we really need political administration of our government?
John Solomon says on Hannity that statute of limitations has not expired on “Tropic Vortex” ..

18 U.S. Code § 1924 – Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material
18 U.S.C. § 1924 is a federal statute criminalizing the knowing removal and retention of U.S. classified documents or materials at an unauthorized location by government officers, employees, contractors, or consultants.
Do I understand you to say that there will be no indictments?
No, I haven’t commented on indictments yet.
This is getting confusing as the question from Robert R Guzzardi seemed to be directed to Sundance..
Correct. Not on this information.
Sunlight can be a good thing, and would be even better if MSM picked up on these stories so that people who were totally unaware of these issues could be apprised of them. Of course, this will never happen. I will say that one of the things I ‘learned’ regarding all these FBI files, where they investigate themselves (7 of them, I believe) is how the names they choose for these ‘investigations’ are utterly tepid and infantile
Bringing things to light for examination is only useful if something is done to correct the issue. When you suspect there may be some rotten fruit in a barrel of apples the barrel is dragged out into the light for examination. But the process does not and can not stop there. The choice must be made to throw out the entire or attempt to salvage what may still be good.
If the later option is chosen then the apples are all dumped out of the barrel so that each individual piece of fruit can be closely and carefully examined for any sign of corruption. Those that appear to be without rot are set aside, isolated, and examined again after time has been allowed for any hidden rot to become apparent. The fruit that has been found to be obviously corrupt is cast aside for the trash heap or possibly even to been burned. That corrupted fruit can never be allowed anywhere near good fruit or the corruption will spread.
Once all the corrupted fruit has been removed the remaining apples can be thoroughly washed, rinsed, allowed to dry, and await final reexamination. The original corrupted barrel is usually destroyed or even burned and a new barrel obtained. That new barrel is carefully washed, sanitized and dried before the salvaged fruit can get a final examination as they are carefully placed in the new barrel.

Please explain.
Fortunately for Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, they serve, per the Constitution of our Republic, at the pleasure of the President and not someone else.
IMESHO, I would like to see a comprehensive investigation into Rodney Rosenstain and his failure to stop the attempted sedition against PRESIDENT TRUMP. Did his wife Lisa Barsoomian influence his efforts? Was his marriage to Lisa a conflict of interest???
Rod is at the law firm of King & Spalding. That’s where Chris Wray used to practice and Sally Yates now does. Rosenstein was a US Attorney in Maryland. He has switched sides a lot. He was confirmed as DAG by the Senate 94-6.
The corruption is bottomless. To believe anything coming out of DC is stupidity.
Makes one wonder whether they got any leaking evidence against Warner. Recall that Wolfe via his attorney (which I guess makes it legal) was practically blackmailing the SSI or the plea deal, with the potential ‘I was just following orders’ testimony from Wolfe. And boy howdy was Sessions so in over his head.
