During the period of Nov 2015 to April 2016, the Obama administration, through the FBI under James Comey and Andrew McCabe, was conducting a political spying operation against all Republican presidential primary candidates using the power of their offices.
The intent was two-fold. (1) Tracking the candidates to identify activity; and (2) conducting opposition research to be fed to the campaign of Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton.
This surveillance activity was happening in concert with Comey, McCabe and a small group inside the FBI, running a defensive operation for the issues surrounding Hillary Clinton’s prior use of private email servers -which included classified information transmission- during her tenure as Secretary of State. SOURCE: DNI
Documentary evidence of the Obama spying operation surfaced as an outcome of the NSA compliance officer discovering the FBI activity.
The compliance officer reported the activity to National Security Agency Director, Admiral Mike Rogers.
The spying operation is not an issue of FISA-702, or any FISA system or process. However, the availability of FBI access to the NSA database is what triggered the discovery of the spy operation.
That FBI access is created under the auspices of FISA, but FISA-702, or any aspect therein, was not the issue. The issue was the spying operation.
FISA, and using the NSA database to conduct the electronic surveillance, was simply the tool to exploit the electronic communication (metadata) of the targets.
The Obama administration was spying on their political opposition and telling the Clinton team the results of their surveillance.
Put another way, the United States government was spying on political candidates for office, in order to control the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
After Director Mike Rogers was made aware of the operation, and the exploitation of the NSA database, the NSA Director blocked the FBI from access and began an investigation.
That investigation culminated in Director Mike Rogers informing the regulatory body in charge of protecting the database from exploitation.
FISC SIDEBAR: With the NSA now collecting the private electronic communication of Americans, the FISA Court was assigned the responsibility of oversight; it was intended to protect the growing metadata library and ensure the 4th Amendment provisions to the constitution were maintained.
The FISC oversight was intended to stop the government from reviewing the private records of Americans, the NSA database, without a warrant.
Because the NSA database was used by the Obama administration, the FBI, to conduct political spying operations, the only normal compliance venue Director Mike Rogers had to reveal the spying, was to inform the FISA court (FISC).
NSA Director Mike Rogers was a cabinet member working for President Obama at the time the Obama administration was exploiting the NSA database.
Director Mike Rogers does not appear to have informed congressional oversight. That would have violated the chain-of-command, and the President held absolute power.
Director Rogers could have chosen to inform the congressional Gang-of-Eight of the issue. He did not.
[This is an issue Director Rogers would later address by moving custodial control of the NSA database to Cyber Command (a DoD agency)].
NSA Director Mike Rogers informed the FISA Court of the issue, by detailing who the people were who were searched within the database, and what the results were over the timeframe of Nov ’15 to April ’16.
The compliance officer provided the audit-trail, audit logs showing who was being spied on, who was being searched (queried), how often and how many times. The audit-trail also showed who was logging in to conduct the spy operations, and what FBI authorized workstations they were using.
Director Rogers informed the court he had blocked FBI access and removed part of the functionality for how the system could be exploited.
The internal investigation by the NSA compliance officer and Rogers was completed and sent to the FISA Court in October 2016, with additional information sent in March 2017.
The FISA Court then responded in April 2017, where Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer outlined the events in a heavily redacted 99-page opinion. Citation HERE.
President Obama conducting political spying operations, through a politically weaponized FBI, against the Republican opposition elements is colloquially called “Spygate.”
Hillary Clinton manufacturing a political dirty trick against Donald Trump, accusing him of a Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy, is called “Russiagate.”
President Obama and every member of his cabinet, that was involved in the spying operations, used Clinton’s “Russiagate” to cover up Obama’s “Spygate.”
The two controversies are distinct and separate.
Within the evidence trail, that documents the Obama spying operation exists: (1) the NSA audit-trail, and, more importantly, (2) the specific document where the NSA notified the FISA Court. Those have never been seen.
While a redacted 99-page response from the court has been reviewed in granular detail, the missing piece of the puzzle; -the evidence that proves the operation beyond any reasonable doubt – is the NSA investigative outcome, the notification to the FISC given by NSA Director Mike Rogers to the FISA Court.
The NSA report to the FISA Court is a specific, actionable, discoverable document. I have been on the hunt for that notification report for 8 years.
Now you know why this position is so important.
God Bless Tulsi Gabbard.
I always saw something in her when she was a Democrat….
I couldn’t put my finger on it, but there was light in her…
The Democrat party tried to stifle it, thankfully to no avail…
She has demonstrated, more then once, that she is a fearless patriot…
It takes a strong woman to show weak men how to be strong again…
She has done that and more….
I saw something in Tulsi that I really liked during the D Party debates.
She hit her fellow D’s hard with truth bombs.
You could tell she was not part of their club.
Her on – stage (figurative) disembowelment of Mrs. Emhoff during the 2020 Democrat Presidential debate is legendary.
I hope the weak men are watching how it is done and taking notes so they don’t forget./sarc
And keep her safe!
And God bless Sundance! He does this research and puts it out for us.
Amen. She is doing a great job uncovering the nasty tricks used by the Deep State. I use the term “Deep State” broadly to refer to all parties, Democrat, Republican and Independents who are not doing the work of We The People.
This Shit Must Stop!
Our representatives were elected to represent our will in the Congress, not their own. So let us, here and now, vow to return to Our Constitution as written, and not the constitution as it has devolved.
We should begin with a repeal of Amendment XVII.
And keep her safe from harm.
WOW!
If only 1/2 of this is true, why haven’t heads rolled?
The stench around this is heavy
heads ought to roll….Talk is cheap until the lawyers talk.
We can save the planet and the land fills, (lawyers create/generate tons of paper waste) by getting back to the basics of “The Bill of Rights” taken as it was written.
Who in congress has a side gig owning a paper recycling company?
“heads ought to roll….Talk is cheap until the lawyers talk.”
… and then talk gets really expensive!
why haven’t heads rolled?
The preservation of institutions to maintain continuity of government for national security excuse.
Spot on. Is Sundance literally the only person in the universe that is aware of this document’s existence and wants it disclosed? One would think that various Congressional Committees would have been all over this, but:
1) Silos;
2) It exposes the failure of the FISA system;
3) Accountability requires effort. And our Gov’t is many things, with Lazy being one of its hallmarks.
I wouldn’t call government “lazy” BucknutGuy. They certainly aren’t lazy when stiffleing the Rights of Citizens over aliens, or regulating businesses!
A felony has probably already occurred, the destruction of this document w/zero copies made. Unless original and copies are “found” stuffed in hidden bags labeled for burning, EVERYONE involved with the developing, producing, reading, hiding this information is subject to felony federal laws, even more so since it was specific in it’s conclusions to go ahead with fake information resulting in false charges against PDJT and all the others persecuted for over 5 years and some charges are still before courts awaiting appeal dismissals. Obama creating it, dispersed it to others, charged them with the follow thru, he should be arrested IMMEDIATELY!!!!! and held in jail, no bail, no deals, in GITMO and held for tresoan/sedition with proper sentence carried out as the precursor to everyone else involved.
Washington DC is horrified that we will force the Administration of Government change from Politics to Instant Democracy! We have the technology to do that and the Will is developing rapidly!
Constitutional Republic!
is this part of what was in the burn bags?
And because Obama is black. Period. Full stop.
The civil unrest would be off the charts.
He will never see prison, but he needs to be publicly shamed, humiliated, and made an outcast.
He is half Black, and was born in Kenya by his own published book. If the Blacks of America cannot see truth before their eyes, they have permission to return to their slave great grandparents’ natal country. JMHO, not a law.
There is a Kenyan birth certificate which has a baby’s footprint on it in The Usurper’s name. Too bad nobody ever asked to see if The Usurper’s footprint matched that of the Kenyan certificate.
I have a copy of that Birth Certificate. I believe Malik (Barry’s brother) Obama supplied it!
I think that process is well underway.
🙏🏻
And take away his government pension.
Government pension? How about the mansions?
Civil war is what they want, make the lines visible for all those that push this and get started. It may be terrible, bloody, but it won’t be long as there are millions waiting on both sides, with 1 side having the majority of weapons, ammo, and military/police force active/retirees available to get involved.
I hope everyone is paying attention to who the shooters have been. Jesse Waters had a guest on that said she received weapons training by someone who was former US military.
I do not doubt our resolve nor eventual victory should it come to that.
I caution everyone to not underestimate the shock troops the left has and is creating.
Obama and Biden worked hard to purge America loving, faith based military members.
Our troops were subjected to DEI, white rage training and patriotism was toxic as was masculinity. That doesn’t go away instantly.
I made the same comment to my wife last evening…let’s roll…
Can we deport him to a Muslim country?
Lock him inside that ridiculous library he’s STILL building.
It can be his prison and his coffin.
It looks like a medieval keep to me.
Obama is 1/2 white!
Maybe biologically, but not in any other way.
He’s a criminal who committed treason , he should be doing life in prison at a minimum . Justice is not determined by how fans of the person might respond .
There would be even more people celebrating his imprisonment than protesters.
Just keep publishing pictures on the Internet of the eyesore he is building to honor himself in Chicago. It isn’t finished and I doubt it will ever be finished as ugly as it is. The good news is, the building has a basketball court.
The crimes are TOO BIG TO PROSECUTE.
And, by the way, if you have that info (I think Trump has it), why make it public instead of using as leverage (I think Trump is using it)?
Because you are not free, and ‘America” is just an idea, pure theater, you fell for it.
God willing, we can make it real now.
.
Because Statutes of Limitations. Five years for federal criminal, and usually less for civil state actions by the harmed individual for invasion of privacy, Fourth Amend violations.
If a conspiratorial coverup is ongoing (e.g. Russiagate), that involves a different crime or set of crimes.
.
ongoing grand conspiracy
no SOL
if it rises to treason
no SOL
up to Todd Banchette
who is being doubted in todays War Room show
Because Washington, a.k.a. the unit party, protect themselves first and foremost. Unfortunately, I have a little confidence we will ever see this document.
And there are plenty of citizens convinced we remain a secure representative republic.
Cute.
🥲
Position – YES! Person in that position YES, YES!
I have admired your work for years now. Please keep it up. If some of the really bad guys wind up in jail, I think America will owe you a Thank You.
Even notice how much attention, how much easier, it is to resolve domestic issues? Not so much with wars…ukraine, etc….Ever wonder why? Take a walk over to langley and ask them if they know why….
If I understand it Mike Rogers was a good guy and did what was right. He doesn’t get much credit.
If you follow the Collyer and the followup Boasberg reports, the FISC was always complaining of problems that were never fixed.
Indeed, it would clutter up the story, but Sundance also talks about how the DOJ-NSD got ahead of Rogers to admit problems, have one guy fall on his sword, and keep the FISC willing to approve the warrant on Trump.
I am still not sure how much of a ‘good guy’ Rogers is. We also falsely gave him credit for warning Trump about Obama spying.
But even if he tried to do what is right. Rogers was thwarted in doing so. Wrong and evil won out. It kept fighting Trump after Obama left. It doubled down under AutoPen and its Sippy Cup. And is still trying to hang on and undo Trump now.
Why credit failure?
I don’t think Rodgers is as much of a hero as some people think.
I do give him credit for at least doing his job and upholding his oath of office at least a little bit.
Straight up butt covering by the admiral.
Could it be because we reward failure, and criticize success?
agree he could have done more
I do have a question about Rogers….why did he wait until after Trump won the election when he informed the Trump people about all the spying. I believe Trump moved his campaign ops to another facility that wasn’t compromised right afterwards. What could’ve been the reason(s) for the delay?
After what they did to Flynn, I can’t say I blame him for waiting. There were others fired for going against the grain.
That would have been futile and he likely would have ended up dead. This way he remained alive, had the goods and was in a position to tell Trump IF and when Trump won.
Adm. Rogers did the minimum to stop the spying while preserving the tools and maintaining the institutions. Then he had President-elect Trump move to his place in Bedford NJ to set up operations there instead of Trump Tower.
He didn’t drop the hammer.
If Adm. Rogers had gone full transparency and did what Daniel Ellsberg did with the Pentagon Papers, much would be different right now.
dd_sc: “If Adm. Rogers had gone full transparency and did what Daniel Ellsberg did with the Pentagon Papers, much would be different right now.”
Or not. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, the mainstream media in general, the New York Times specifically, and the Washington Post would have had every reason to bury the story and never report a word of it.
And if the audit report document had surfaced unredacted, former Obama Administration officials and the MSM would have actively discounted it, finding whatever excuse they needed to do so.
We must also remember that Trump 45’s team was infested with anti-MAGA people of every political stripe and that these people would have suppressed any and all action being taken against the perps in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Trump National Golf Course – Bedminster.
Obama is the man of lawlessness, and there is no truth in him. None.
When he claimed there wasn’t a smidgen of corruption in his administration, he was correct. It was a sh*tload of corruption.
Now we are getting the true pulse of America! Dig deeper.
there is Zero Truth in The Zero
Well, now. Tulsi is in place to be a real heroine! I believe she’ll find it and that the president will declassify.
Praying that DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard helps you end your 8 year quest.
Sundance now that you told DNI Gabbard exactly what to go get, it should take what about 10 seconds for her to get it … We should expect to have an unredacted copy before lunch … 8 years hmmm …
ah but how should it be delivered..
a political spying operation against all republican presidential primary candidates
I would not be surprised of Bernie Sanders was also being spied upon.
Circles back to the murder of Seth Rich.
I think Hillary feared Bernie as a dark horse more than she feared Donald Trump as the Republican nominee…but the first one was easily bought off, while the second one is still not for sale!
Sanders has a populist streak to him. Democrats can’t have that; one of the reasons they were quick to get Howard Schutz out if the race in 2020.
Keep in mind that then Rep. Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Sanders while she was Vice Chair of the DNC. She was forced out by Chairwoman Wasserman-Schultz after pointing out the system was rigged for Clinton. That’s when the long knives of the Democrat party came out against Gabbard. Been trying to ruin her ever since.
Bernie speaks the language that the socialist leaning Left loves – while at the same time, he quietly accepts all the grift that “the system” offers him to stay quiet when they want him to!
He is a classic “social Democrat” in that he rails against the “makers”, those who actually work and build, as having too much, while at the same time believing that he, and his fellow “takers” should be entitled to the fruits of other peoples’ labors.
The supreme irony is that he, and everyone I know who thinks the same way, suddenly become VERY protective of their own stash if they should happen to come into any kind of money or power!
I know a man who lived at a commune in Mexico for decades, eating tacos and doing odd jobs, while calling himself a “missionary” and then when he came back to the states, in his 60s, he was bitter that he had no retirement and was very resentful of those who did. Huge Bernie supporter with a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. However, last year, his older sister, who had been a nurse for many years, died, and left him at least $300K (he was VERY vague about how much money he actually got). But now, that’s HIS money and he doesn’t seem to want to share ANY of it with anyone…funny how that works!
Socialism always works… for the socialists.
HILLARY REALLY THOUGHT SHE HAD STATES LIKE PA in the bag. They did not initiate their voter fraud capabilities in states they thought were strong Blue wall states. Bill was the one that saw the cracks as Trump stormed those states with rally after rally. I agree, Hillary was paying more attention to the Bernie threat.
They did not initiate their voter fraud capabilities in states they thought were strong Blue wall states.
Actually, they most likely did. It was Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein that called for a recount in WI. When the normal cheat started to be exposed, the Democrat party machine shit it down.
They didn’t count on Donald Trump beating the spread.
2016 taught the Democrats that they had to have a Plan B for 2020 if their standard election fraud tools and techniques weren’t enough to overcome a Trump lead. Hence in 2020, their election fraud Plan B went into action after 11 PM on election day when it became clear Trump was well ahead.
Election fraud coordinators in the big counting centers in the swing states shut down the counting, ejected the Republican monitors, and then proceeded to bring in loads of fraudulent ballots, to double count Biden ballots, and to directly alter tabulation counts in the machines.
Michigan. When the Detroit area’s votes started to get scrutiny, the DNC put the kibosh to it.
The Biggest Ugly of all? The one that can ensnare The Lightbringer himself. The heretofore untouchable Barack Hussein Obama.
I’m hoping DNI Gabbard has an ear out for trumpet sounds from the distance.
It appears that Mike didn’t want to muddy Barry…. I am wondering why that bridge was not crossed? I must search further…
Preservation of institutions and continuity of government.
One of John Solomon’s favorite phrases – “We need these tools ….”
Rain Hell down on these treasonous bastagees….
Just a thought.
In that same time frame there were Democrat Candidates who Hillary had to overcome.
Indeed, she even rigged that contest.
So why wouldn’t Obama be spying on Bernie or other Dems as well as on the Republicans?
Afraid that spying on Dems would be leaked?
Assured that it was unnecessary since Hillary was rigging it?
Part of a larger long term effort in turning government against Republicans?
There may be other reasons not to weaponize government against fellow dems, but I won’t be surprised to find Dems being spied on too. This is Obama spying afterall.
One problem with being verbose is it takes too long.
dd_sc said it 6 minutes before me.
“The NSA report to the FISA Court is a specific, actionable, discoverable document. I have been on the hunt for that notification report for 8 years.
Now you know why this position is so important.”
Amen!!
It really is that simple.
I think what disgusts me most about people like Schiff, et al. Is there ability to pretend to not know things and give faux outrage to stir up the little people. I think the race-baiters like Sharpton fall into the same category. It’s all about them, instead of making everyone better.
Trying to outlive the truth.
Bravo.
This leads me to wonder?
What was the operation that installed Obama, first in the Senate and later the Presidency? How by whom? My gut tells me its there.
Ask J.D. he might be aware.
Valerie Jarrett, who had been running Chicago for the Daley’s, seen Barack, a fellow CPUSA member and son of Frank Marshal Davis, in trouble with Tony Resko. So she bailed him out, cleaned him up, found him a family, placed him into Illinois politics, where he always voted Present, never Yes or No. To launch him into national politics, Valerie had to find a bunch of money and that came from George Soros; pure magic to a Democrats ear! The rest is history.
Behold the Obama Library!

The DS loves to conflate scandals to use one to cover for another. They let “Russiagate” evidence leak out to some extent in order to hide “Spygate” or to confuse the political apparatus and the public to the bigger issue. They would happily taint the Clintons and the FBI as an institution to cover for the Lightbringer.
She’s a hero. But what will be done? I’m tiring of reading what was done. I want some action Jackson!
Timely piece Sundance. And I recall the hearing from C-SPAN with Comey next to Rogers. Comey looked to me like the guy that is having to work a bit too hard to keep his demeanor in check, as Mike Rogers laid it out for the committee with a pretty good amount of candor.
Sicc ‘em Dir.Gabbard!!
Arrest the Jive Motherlover!
Looking at that photo of Comey and Rogers…
And the very first thing I notice is not their traitorous faces, but their names.
“Hon J Comey” and “Hon M Rogers”…
Short for ” Honorable”…
The Babylon Bee couldn’t improve on that.
I don’t know whether to laugh out loud or to be violently ill.
I recall Collyer whitewashing the NSA failure to disclose as an’ institutional lack of candor’.
Thank you for reminding us of the separation between Spygate and Russiagate. Good luck with your search.
Sundance, have you made any decisions about going into the the belly of the beast?
I don’t want and I don’t think it’s prudent for SD to make any statement on his involvement.
I pray that he’s helping out.
He has the timeline and dot connections that DNI and the Republic so desperately needs.
Without the timeline and dot connections you are just looking at random and scattered offenses here and there that won’t amount to much in court and don’t give the real picture of the extent of the coup and criminal activity.
Rhymes with Perkins Coie
Lock them all up in that eye sore of a Presidential library Obama is building and surround it with razor wire.
The free, available rope/drop elevator shafts for the self imposed suicides would be a daily event should many of those involved be sent there, including the light bringer and his entire Administration.
I always thought that the other primary candidates were also spied on.
I don’t remember anything really scandalous being revealed about the other candidates.
Which leads me to believe they have ALL been compromised and leveraged into a controlled submission with the dirt the government collected.
They are like political sleeper cells waiting for the opportunity to screw MAGA again like Jan 6th.
Tulsi Gabbard is a courageous woman working for ordinary Americans. Godspeed Director Gabbard.
Not being corrupt is harder than it sounds?

Time for a full declassification of the systemic violations of constitutional rights, and due recompense for all the victims. We need the names of the perpetrators, down to the lowliest soldier in the operation.
The names of the victims should be released after notification to the victims and a signed release that they wish to have their names made public.
I agree.
These people must forfeit their ill-gotten gains to victims. They also must compensate the American taxpayers for any government funds they received. That includes monies made from those funds.
We need to make this so painful the thought of anyone attempting it again is deterred.
When President Trump starts handing out those Freedom medals he needs to include Tulsi and Edward Snowden.
Issue pardons for Snowden and Assange.
I am of the humble opinion that many things will break open in the last 2 years of 47’s tenure.
We need it faster.
The last two years doesn’t give us enough time to prosecute and establish deterrence.
O… because of his race… was groomed through his entire life starting with Ayres throughout his Senate hi jinks in Illinois and ultimately the Presidency. Frankly I don’t think he’s that smart… he’s a puppet for forces on the left. They feel that due to his race, he is immune from any attacks if any materialize a charge of racism will occur.
This same tactic is used by the left to go after our Lion…Letitia James and Fani Willis…large black women used by the left knowing that criticism of them will prompt a charge of racism by the media.
Times have changed over the last few years…leftist media have lost control of the narrative through losing their audiences seeking alternative viewpoints.
O might have thought he was invincible, but there is a new Sheriff…that Sheriff needs to grow a pair and get to the bottom of this corruption.
Racism with a minor in misogyny.
“Born in Kenya” Obama, Hillary, FJB, Kamala, Comey, Brennan, the fake news media, et al called Donald Trump a threat to democracy on multiple occasions. But in fact, Donald Trump was never the threat to democracy. It was always the corrupt Democrats–the ones that President Trump said broke the law “on a colossal scale” and “they should go to jail.” And he called on his DOJ and FBI to take legendary action to do that. But is it happening? So far it seems that Comey got a ticket for parking in a no parking zone in front of the Capitol. Is there more in the works?
Wow and to think they Booted Nixon for his spying.. this stuff Obama and Hillary did makes Nixon’s look like child play.. and Nixon got taken out…
What ticks me off most no’s that the chief instigators (I.e. Obama and Hillary) will never get prosecuted for any of this
There are those that believe the Watergate break in was part of a larger coup against Nixon perpetrated by the same IC agencies targeting President Trump. Nixon was no friend of the CIA or MIC, and E. Howard Hunt and James McCord, had ties to the CIA.

What has been consisentently protected has been the role of British Intelligence in initiating and guiding the setup of Trump right from the get go. Here is very powerful open source information that has, to my knowledge, never been pursued. Exposing the duplicitous role of the Britsh intelligence is crucial to stop future sabotage of American soverign interests.
Excerpts from Grok search on British role in steering the Russiagate Hoax-
Overview of Robert Hannigan’s Role in Sharing Intelligence on Russiagate
Robert Hannigan served as Director of the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) from November 2014 to January 2017. During this period, GCHQ identified suspicious interactions between individuals connected to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and known or suspected Russian agents, beginning as early as late 2015. This intelligence was shared with U.S. counterparts as part of routine Five Eyes alliances. In summer 2016—specifically around June—Hannigan personally briefed then-CIA Director John Brennan … on intercepted communications suggesting illicit links between Trump’s associates and Moscow. This briefing helped catalyze U.S. inter-agency investigations into potential Russian election interference, which later became central to the Russiagate narrative.
The shared information included signals intelligence (SIGINT) on communications, but details remain classified. Hannigan’s resignation in January 2017, shortly after Trump’s inauguration, fueled speculation about pressures related to the shared intel… No evidence emerged of wrongdoing by Hannigan, and the intelligence was corroborated by multiple Western agencies (e.g., from Baltic states and France).
Date RangeEventDetailsLate 2015Initial GCHQ DetectionGCHQ intercepts “suspicious interactions” between Trump-connected figures and Russian agents; shared routinely with U.S. intelligence.Early 2016Escalation and Further SharingAdditional contacts noted; intelligence exchanged with U.S. agencies amid growing concerns over Russian election meddling.Summer 2016 (ca. June)Hannigan’s Personal Briefing to BrennanHannigan flies to Washington for a “director-level” face-to-face meeting, passing material on intercepted Trump-Russia communications; Brennan forms a CIA task force with FBI and NSA involvement.July 2016FBI Probe LaunchBrennan’s briefing contributes to FBI opening Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump-Russia ties.2017Post-Election FalloutHannigan resigns January 23, 2017; Trump administration later accuses GCHQ of improper surveillance, denied by UK officials.
Substantiation and Broader Context
This episode is widely documented in journalistic and official accounts, often highlighting GCHQ’s role as the “principal whistleblower” in alerting the U.S. to potential threats. Brennan later testified to Congress in May 2017 about these concerns, confirming allied intelligence (without naming GCHQ) on Russian efforts to suborn Trump associates. Subsequent U.S. investigations, including the Mueller Report and Senate Intelligence Committee findings, validated Russian interference but found no criminal conspiracy with the Trump campaign….
For deeper reading, primary sources include congressional testimonies and declassified ICA footnotes from 2017.
Author’s comments-
Obviously, the CIGINT communication between British Intelligence cited above must be immediately declassified. This will shed more light on the initiating role of the British and their supposed sources.
Since Hannigan’s June 2016 personal meeting with CIA director Brennan lead directly to the launching of a joint task force of the CIA, FBI and NSA and then resulted in the July 2016 FBI official launching of Operation Hurricane to investigate Trump, the official records of the Brennan/Hannigan meeting should also be declassified. These will confirm or deny whether the two conspired to set up Trump.
Hannigan resigned immediately after the swearing in of Pres. Trump even though Hannigan still had 3 more years of his term to serve. Was that to take him and the role of CGHQ out of the spotlight?
Amazing that document can’t be found. Perhaps Adm Mike Roger knows where it is?
We American citizens should ALL be mortal enemies of “continuity of government.” We should fight for “continuity of The Bill of Rights.” Governments are to be loathed and distrusted, as our founders warned. Our U.S. Constitution is the North Star of our liberty.
Governments are formed by power-grabbing, sinful humans who will imprison, enslave and destroy their constituents to seize and hold power. Governments are evil. It has been thus since the beginning of time.
For years the narrative around here has been that Rogers is a hero because he tipped off Trump about the spying. That has never passed the smell test. Isn’t it more likely that the Trump tower meeting was an effort to keep his job. That was the result. It seems like Admiral Rogers was not only a participant in spygate, but a one of the heads. He wound it down when it was discovered by a compliance officer. There was no fallout. Tulsi should examine what he was doing during the first two years of the Trump administration.
Then why did Obama want Rogers fired?
Did he? Obama didn’t put people in those positions that were at odds with him. Otherwise they get the Flynn treatment.
Rogers was probably the only good one.
What’s remarkable here is that the Republican Party as a political entity seems to be perfectly comfortable with the FBI/Democrats illegally spying on them. Other than Trump, none of the other spied on candidates has raised any objections to what happened.
And the GOP has been weirdly submissive to the criminal Left for a long time now. Just look at what happened to Senator Ted Stevens and Governor Bob McDonnell, and the complete absence of any Republican response to their colleagues being framed. Many of the people who tried to take down Trump were involved in both of those cases.
This example explains it well. Sundance has many in this vein.

Can we acknowledge the courage it took for the Compliance Officer to bring this to the attention of Mike Rogers. They could have kept their mouth shut and the Democrats would have continued. They took a huge risk that could have been career ending. If that Compliance Officer reads here, please know that many Americans are grateful for what you did. I believe you were an important factor in the continuing quest to save the Republic. Thank you.
I wonder what happened to that compliance officer? What are the odds they got reassigned to a remote outpost in Alaska?
I watched Ms. Gabbard’s press conference yesterday, alongside Ms. Leavitt.
Clear, concise, irrefutable evidence that directly implicates Obama, IMO.
Everyone of the co-conspiritors need to be in prison (Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Sztroke, et al)
Gabbard & Leavitt take absolutely zero shit from the alleged “journalists” in the press room.
I admire them to the utmost.
You wouldn’t have a link would you?
Hey Barron,
Here is another gold thread that your Dad needs to read. Isn’t it time you set up a lunch meeting with Sundance and your Dad?
This is Sundance’s key takeaway………..
“Put another way, the United States government was spying on political candidates for office in order to control the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”
So how about asking your Dad to get Tulsi involved and declassify the NSA documents during the period of Nov 2015 to April 2016.
And by the way, tell Kash it was his agency that appears to have conducted most of the illegal spying.
Kind Regards,
Americans for Justice
I’d bet before Sundance published this article Tulsi was given the directions she needed. It’s already in motion.
That was my first thought as well. 🙂
^^^THIS!!!^^^
This was a criminal RICO operation run by the PRESIDENT of the US – bathhouse Barry. It was pure COMMUNISM. We must INVOKE the COMMUNIST CONTROL ACT of 1954 and rid America of these traitors.
The Guerilla in the room is will they ever be held accountable. Democrats, with compliant Republicans have allowed our judicial System to be corrupted with political hacks seated on the bench. This must be resolved for America to get back to Constitutional Governance. Tulsi has done a great job but she must be backed up.
To be honest, this article is most likely the best way to inform ODNI Gabbard of what to look for and release.
Obama is a terrible person.
The people that control him are worse.
y’mean … Satan?!
Bill Ayers, Rahm Emanuel, Valarie Jarrett, David Axelrod. Four public facing communists backed by communists who are backed by communists who are backed by communists, etc.
Who’re backed by Satan.
They will be, and are, known by the fruit of their labor. The fruit of the poison tree is destruction.
lol.. that’s an understatement
0bama could have been stopped at the beginning but no-bo-dy in the upper echelons was willing to challenge His constitutional eligibilty. NOT qualifications … get it right, His constitutional eligibilty. Only 3 are listed, each are as important as the other two.
And, the one affecting the 0 is the very reason John Jay wrote a note to George Washington – national security! This stain, failing the Constitution in the most significant way, will be remembered as part of American history for all time to come.
Money talks in the Halls of Kongress. He had a rich master manipulator behind him.
Who?
I don’t think so, first those 3 men were murdered, MSM had his back all the way, opposition was on a blog y9u had to know the name of to get info…..they began t block then later disappear the 30 or 40 journalists trying to get the information. there was no one person or government agency with any capability of taking action all under Clinton Bush and Brenna control
BINGO!!!!!
Soros
You posted the understatement of the century.
I concur.
He’s purely Satanic.
