Two weeks ago, after a lengthy back-and-forth process between the HPSCI and DNI offices, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) reported they released the transcript of former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). No further information has surfaced following that announcement.
“The transcripts will be posted on the Committee website once they undergo the standard classification review with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.” (source)
It has been two-weeks. The transcript is not public. In my estimation, this transcript could potentially be exceptionally revealing. The background ‘delay’ is likely due to the significant revelations within it. Also, this is a rather extensive stakeholder equity.
The declassification process involves having every equity stakeholder named in the deposition ¹agree to allowing the information, their information, to be released.
Ex. if Atkinson discussed the Senate Intel Committee, they (Cotton/Warner) would need to allow and/or demand redaction. If the CIA was discussed, again another stakeholder who needs to review and approve. If HPSCI, same/same. If any of the internal agencies were discussed by Atkinson, National Security Council (NSC, White House, Rubio), National Intelligence Council (NIC, in CIA at the time), the same process has to flow through each agency. Also, this testimony is in 2019, making it possible contact with FBI or DOJ-NSD coconspirators (Mueller Inc.) may have taken place; the same would apply.
Each stakeholder gets to review the transcript content that applies to their mention and determine if they ¹approve the declassification process.
This is how the silo defense mechanisms work. You can see how convoluted these systems have become.
According to the originating HPSCI public release, remember, they are the originating stakeholder of the classified information; well, the transcript is then returned to the House Intelligence Committee for publication.
[¹If they don’t agree, a battle begins. Remember the battle over the Nunes memo?]
What would all these equity stakeholders be hoping to conceal? That’s where things get interesting.
CONTEXT: In December of 2016, President Obama turned to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan with a request to change the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) and blame the Russians for election interference in the prior presidential election. Brennan gave the task of assembling the fraudulent intel to a CIA analyst named Julia Gurganus.
Subsequently, inside the CIA the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and the Directorate of Analysis began working on a pretext that would create the impression for the misleading Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) as demanded by Obama, Clapper and Brennan; ultimately it was constructed by Julia Gurganus.
Inside the National Intelligence Council, one of the key figures who helped create the ICA fabrication was a CIA analyst named Eric Ciaramella.
You might remember the name Eric Ciaramella from the 2019 impeachment effort against President Trump. However, in 2016 Eric Ciaramella was a CIA deputy national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia on the CIA’s National Intelligence Council at the time the fraudulent Intelligence Community Assessment was created.
♦ The key point to remember here is that Eric Ciaramella was one of the fabricators of the fraudulent ICA; constructed late December 2016 and presented in January 2017 as part of the foundation for the Trump-Russia narrative.
Earlier in 2025, DNI Tulsi Gabbard began to drill down onto the issue of the fraudulent ICA and how it was constructed. Current CIA analysts within the former National Intelligence Council (NIC) and CIA Directorate of Analysis began to notice Tulsi was going to declassify background documents, including the two-year House Intelligence Committee report revealing the fraud. Tulsi Gabbard became a target.
Julia Gurganus was an active government employee at the time Tulsi Gabbard began making inquiries. The CIA (NIC) changed the status of Julia Gurganus in June 2025 to that of a “covert” operative, in an effort to protect Gurganus.
The CIA changed the status of Julia Gurganus in June 2025, reclassifying her as ‘covert’, specifically because of the ODNI’s intent to reveal the fraud within the 2016 Russia election investigation. This, the CIA thought, would forcibly stop DNI Gabbard from exposing Ms. Gurganus and taking action. The 2025 CIA effort did not work.
In late July of this 2025, DNI Gabbard released the CIA intelligence information that was used in constructing the fraudulent ICA. On July 23rd, Tulsi Gabbard held a press conference alongside Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and outlined the issues.
In August 2025, DNI Gabbard then declassified and released the CIA work product, and then later removed Julia Gurganus security clearance.
The CIA embeds at the NIC and directorate of analysis were furious, and subsequently leaked a false story to the Wall Street Journal saying DNI Gabbard had compromised a covert CIA operative working in government – a familiar ploy that had worked for them in the past. However, this time it did not work, because her work history clearly showed Julia Gurganus was a known CIA employee.
♦ Key point: Julia Gurganus and Eric Ciaramella both worked on behalf of CIA Director John Brennan to fabricate the fraudulent ICA in 2016. Gurganus was still a CIA employee in August of 2025.
Back to Ciaramella…
In 2019 National Security Council (NSC) member Alexander Vindman also responsible for Ukraine, Russia Eurasia affairs, told CIA Analyst Eric Ciaramella a fictional narrative about President Trump pressuring Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to provide dirt on Joe Biden in advance of the 2020 election.
Eric Ciaramella then became an “anonymous whistleblower” within the CIA to reveal the story and set up the predicate for the first Trump impeachment effort in late 2019. You might remember the name, because during the impeachment effort anyone who mentioned Eric Ciaramella on social media had their information deleted, and they were blocked from their accounts.
Facebook, Google, META, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter all deleted any mention of Eric Ciaramella as the anonymous whistleblower, and banned any account that posted the name. However, something else was always sketchy about this.
As the story was told, Ciaramella blew the whistle to Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson. It was further said that Atkinson “changed the CIA whistleblower rules” to permit an “anonymous” allegation; thereby protecting Eric Ciaramella.
Knowing, in hindsight, that CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella was one of the main people who constructed the 2016 fraudulent ICA, suddenly the motive to make him “anonymous” a few years later in 2019 for another stop-Trump effort makes sense.
Until today, the commonly accepted narrative was that ICIG Atkinson changed the CIA rules arbitrarily. This is the main narrative as pushed by the media, allowed to permeate by the larger Intelligence Community, and supported by the willful blindness of a complicit Congress.
It never made sense how an IC Inspector General, especially one that involves review of CIA employees/operations, could make such a substantive change in rules for an agency that is opaque by design. There is just no way any IG can make that kind of decision about the CIA without the Director, the Deputy Director and CIA General Counsel being involved.
Either someone in DNI or CIA leadership had to sign off on allowing ICIG Atkinson to change the rules and permit a complaint by Eric Ciaramella being turned into an “anonymous complaint”, or some mechanism was triggered that permitted the ICIG to operate using a legislative oversight method.
♦ Now, things are going to start getting a little dark here, because the implications are serious, and the aspect of ICIG Atkinson’s testimony to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) being sealed is a little more than alarming when you consider what they were trying to do – impeach a sitting USA President on a fabricated issue.
Some context is needed.
Inspectors General do not operate in a vacuum. They are authorized to conduct investigative oversight, as an outcome of permissions from the cabinet agency heads themselves. The ICIG office, formerly headed by Michael Atkinson, falls under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence.
As the Inspector General of the Dept of Justice does not operate without the expressed permission of the U.S. Attorney General, so too is it required for the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community to have permission to operate in CIA functions with the expressed permission of the CIA Director.
To give you an example: You might remember when President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder created the Dept of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), they did not permit the DOJ Inspector General to have any oversight or review.
The 2009-2017 public reasoning was “national security interests,” as the DOJ-NSD was in charge of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISC) operations as well as Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) reviews and investigations. The factual, evidence-based reason was the DOJ-NSD running political surveillance operations using FISA and FARA as weaponized targeting mechanisms to keep track of their political opposition, ie Lawfare. [But that’s another story]
In fact, in 2015 the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the DOJ, Michael Horowitz, requested oversight and it was Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
You see, the Department of Justice’s own Inspector General (Michael Horowitz who opened a January 2017 investigation into the 2016 politicization of the FBI and DOJ) was not allowed to investigate anything that happened within the NSD agency of the Department of Justice. See the ‘useful arrangement‘? Yeah, Funny that.
It was not until 2018, when the OIG was tasked by then Attorney General Jeff Sessions and President Trump to look into the fraudulent FISA application used against Carter Page, when the OIG was finally given authority to review activity within the Dept of Justice National Security Division.
♦ The two key points here are: #1) ICIG Michael Atkinson does not make unilateral decisions to change the internal rules within the CIA, without the expressed permission of the CIA Director, CIA Deputy Director and CIA General Counsel. #2) The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) would also know of the changed rules and arrangement therein.
At the time of the impeachment allegation and investigation by the House (Aug to Dec 18, 2019), the CIA Director was Gina Haspel (May 21, 2018, to January 20, 2021). The CIA Deputy Director was Vaughn Bishop, and the CIA General Counsel was Courtney Simmons Elwood. In addition, the Acting DNI was Joseph Maguire.
We can reasonably be certain that CIA General Counsel Courtney Elwood and Acting DNI Joseph Maguire did not sign-off on changing the CIA rules permitting an anonymous whistleblower, because published media reports at the time outline both offices as NOT supporting the effort of ICIG Atkinson.
In fact, as the story is told (and investigatively affirmed) CIA Analyst Eric Ciaramella was frustrated because he talked to CIA General Counsel Elwood about the leak from Alexander Vindman, and Elwood did not respond to his claims.
Instead, of following chain-of-command, CIA Analyst Ciaramella went to the House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, and relayed the story as told to him by Vindman. The 2019 conversation between Ciaramella, the CIA analyst who previously fabricated the fraudulent Russia ICA in 2017, and Adam Schiff who fraudulently pushed the Trump-Russia narrative in 2017, took place prior to the CIA whistleblower complaint being filed.
Now we get to the crux of the story.
♦ On October 4, 2019, ICIG Michael Atkinson gave closed-door testimony to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) as part of their impeachment investigation. One of the key questions to Atkinson surrounded the authority of his office changing the CIA whistleblower rules that permitted Eric Ciaramella to remain anonymous.
That Atkinson testimony was then “classified” and sealed under the auspices of “national security” by HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff, the same guy who Ciaramella talked to before filing the complaint.
If congress, or more importantly the American public, had known CIA Analyst Eric Ciaramella was both the key author of the fraudulent 2016 ICA and the later 2019 CIA complaint, it’s doubtful any impeachment effort would have moved forward.
From within the CIA, Eric Ciaramella was the impeachment narrative creator and the Russian interference narrative creator. In short, a political fabricator of intelligence within the CIA.
Again, ICIG Atkinson could not change the ‘whistleblower’ regulations on his own. Someone had to sign-off on that, giving him the authority. Additionally, Atkinson a former legal counsel to the Deputy Asst Attorney General within the DOJ-NSD, is not going to go out on such a limb without a cya to protect himself.
The only person likely to give that authority within the structures and confines that operate inside our government was then CIA Director, Gina Haspel. The Deputy CIA Director is not going to make that kind of a decision, especially given the circumstances, and the CIA General Counsel was not touching it.
That outline of events means the 2016/2017 CIA ‘stop-Trump’ operation under CIA Director John Brennan, was effectively continued by CIA Director Gina Haspel in 2019/2020.
[SIDENOTE: Now, does the 2020 CIA operation known as the “51 Intelligence Experts’ who denied the Hunter Biden laptop story take on context? Now does the recent reaction, the angry outburst by former CIA Director John Brennan about the ICA construct take on some context?]
This is where doors slam and DC officials run out of the room.
This is where ‘pretending not to know‘ takes on another meaning entirely.
♦ IMPLICATIONS: CIA Director Gina Haspel had no way to know if the 2019 impeachment of President Trump was going to be successful. Just as the ICIG needed a CYA to protect himself, so too would Director Haspel want a legal defense mechanism in case the entire fiasco blew up. Enter the only oversight agency that can provide Haspel cover, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Underneath all of these machinations, there’s no other way for Director Haspel to protect herself other than to use the primary mechanism within the functions of IC oversight, inform the SSCI chair and vice-chair of her changed rule guidance to ICIG Atkinson.
That Occam’s Razor scenario puts SSCI chairman ¹Richard Burr and SSCI vice-chair Mark Warner in the silo-system loop. If things blew up, Haspel could always defend herself by pointing to her informing the mechanism for CIA oversight, the SSCI.
• DNI Dan Coats resigned from office when the Trump impeachment effort was announced, August 2019.
• Acting DNI Joseph Maguire was appointed by President Trump to replace Dan Coats.
• Following the impeachment trial, President Donald Trump was acquitted by the Senate on February 5th, 2020.
• On Feb 20, 2020, President Trump replaced acting DNI Joseph Maguire with acting DNI Ric Grenell.
• On February 28, 2020, President Trump nominated John Ratcliffe to be DNI.
• Ratcliffe was confirmed May 26, 2020, and took office.
Before the impeachment effort began, Congressman John Ratcliffe was President Trump’s first choice to replace outgoing DNI Dan Coats in 2019. However, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence said they would not confirm John Ratcliffe. President Trump was forced to appoint “acting DNIs.”
Somehow, within an unexplained reversal, after the impeachment effort ended, the SSCI had a change of position and agreed to confirm John Ratcliffe.
As the fully confirmed DNI, in 2020 John Ratcliffe would have full control of the ICIG, including an understanding of what took place within the CIA that led to the change in protocol creating the “anonymous whistleblower” complaint: the impeachment origination.
As Chair of the SSCI in 2019, it is highly likely that CIA Director Gina Haspel informed Richard Burr of the change in protocol creating the “anonymous whistleblower” complaint: the impeachment origination. ¹Richard Burr was replaced by Marco Rubio in May 2020.
John Ratcliffe is now CIA Director. Marco Rubio is now National Security Advisor.
Adam Schiff was not stupid.
He knew what he was doing and how to use the separation of powers for his purposes. He also knew that each stakeholder could be counted on to keep secrets.
The executive branch would not easily be able to reach into the legislative branch and extract information.
That’s why then HPSCI Chairman, Impeachment Chairman and now Senator Adam Schiff buried the Atkinson transcript in the vault of the House Intelligence Committee.
The process.
♦ First, you need a republican President in the White House √. Second, you need an aligned Intelligence Community DNI √, and third you need a Republican controlled HPSCI √:
[¹] • To extract the transcript the Executive would first need to understand its value. • Then the Executive would need to know where it was. • Then the Executive would need a qualified stakeholder, with appropriate clearances, to request to review the transcript in the HPSCI secure compartmented intelligence facility (scif). • If the HPSCI approved, the Executive would be given an appointment date to read it (no notes, no copying, just reading). • Then, after reading, the Executive stakeholder would then need to request the HPSCI Chair and Ranking Member for a classified copy. • The Chair and Ranking Member would need to agree to the value of the sunlight on the Legislative Branch controlled information. • To get a copy the entire House Intelligence Committee would need to vote on the release to the Executive. • The vote would need to be scheduled on the committee calendar. • A HPSCI vote would then take place:

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence held a business meeting to consider multiple Committee actions. During the business meeting, the Committee voted in favor of releasing two transcripts from 2019 hearings with the former Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson. The hearings were held to examine Atkinson’s role in an alleged whistleblower complaint, which ultimately led to Democrats’ first impeachment efforts against President Trump in December 2019. One transcript would be released to the ODNI for classification review, and then subsequently released to the public by the Committee with the second unclassified transcript.
“The great deal of widespread speculation about the Atkinson classified hearing transcript is indicative of the American people’s complete and warranted mistrust of the Intelligence Community,” said Chairman Crawford. “In far too many instances, the IC hides behind the veil of overclassification. Sometimes sunlight is the best disinfectant. As part of the Committee’s continued effort to balance the transparency the American people deserve and the need to protect sensitive national security information, we hope that the release of these transcripts allows the American people to make their own determinations. As Chairman, I remain committed to ensuring this Committee, where possible, is transparent as the IC works to rebuild trust with the American people.”
The transcripts will be posted on the Committee website once they undergo the standard classification review with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. (source)
The HPSCI has given the transcript to Tulsi Gabbard, but I guarantee you the public release is against the interests of the entire intelligence apparatus.
Folks, this is a fight… and it’s ugly because the stakes are big.
If it sounds like hitting an anvil with a pickaxe, that’s because fighting the IC is like hitting an anvil with a pickaxe.
The truth has no agenda.
We have one ally.
I’m doing all I can…
~ SUPPORT CTH RESEARCH HERE ~
The Public is a stakeholder.
The mere fact we have “classified information” makes us inherently a two-class (at least) system.
And if I read the corporate blather language “stakeholder” one more damned time…
That reflex comes from too many hours, days, and years battling the mass psychosis that is a corporate mind; they are like the un-dead zombies.
The potential for reform of the IC is there, but it is hanging on for dear life.
I have the same reaction to the word “stakeholder.” It’s BS.
In a constitutional republic, the people are “sovereign.” Popular Sovereignty-essentially meaning that the politicians work for us-would be the appropriate, non-BS term to use.
We The People are sovereign, therefore, we are owed that transcript immediately. We DEMAND that transcript.
Unfortunately, we have been demoted to a position below the “stakeholders,” so our demands are ignored.
I have not done my deep research on it, but what about 1871? Are we, supposedly still a Constitutional Republic, or are we a corporation? Who would know?
Sundance?
Absolutely BG , It’s high time a new “Tea Party” is started & we start sending their sorry butts into the deep blue.
90% of our congress is as corrupt as they can be and all we can do is sit & watch them destroy all of our GREAT Country.
FILTHY LIBERALS
“REFORM” – …….and WHO reforms the IC?
You Dismantle this EVIL Cabal. ALL OF IT.
Punish those who engaged or was involved in CIA work on US soil against INNOCENT Americans, especially the PRESIDENT
We could call them, team members participants accomplices of just call them playas. My favorite Mob Bosses.
Read the post and insert whatever word you want, (“He also knew that each sorry sob could be counted on to keep secrets”).
“We could call them, team members participants accomplices of just call them playas.”
More efficient if we would just call them “guilty as charged.”
THIS is the “stakeholder” we need. Professor Van Helsing pounding in the wooden stake through the IC-Dracula’s heart.
Sundance clarified who the stakeholders are a long time ago and it’s not BS
The word as used and parsletongue phrase is absolutely bullsh*t corporate speak.
Exactly how on Sundance’s part?
Why would anything that was clearly a fabricated, false, and fraudulent hit job targeting the President of the United States be classified?
None of it was true so how can deliberate lies be classified top secret when it’s all a work of fiction?
Wouldn’t something classified as top secret need to be true! 🤔
In that case there would be no classified info in the CIA because all they do is lie. Print lies, pass around lies, put them in inboxes and outboxes and thousands of people think they are working.
I see you are familiar with the old continuity of Gov’t ploy…….in a word…FUBAR
I believe the other cherished acronym is also at play:
SNAFU
Yes!
Classification has little to do with anything being true per say.
Classification is as much a tool for securing exceptionally sensitive information as it is a tool of spycraft and burying evidence of crimes.
The fabricators and liars want to remain anonymous at all costs even though Treepers know exactly who they are.
“Why would anything that was clearly a fabricated, false, and fraudulent hit job targeting the President of the United States be classified?”
“Classified” is just another way of saying “cover up the crimes committed.” Exposure means prison for the perpetrators of the cover up.
If the word “classified” were a physical thing it would take the form of the murky waters that is the basis of the D.C. swamp.
You answered your own question. The documents get classified in order to hide the fraudulent activity.
Then the guilty hide behind the process:
The declassification process involves having every equity stakeholder named in the deposition ¹agree to allowing the information, their information, to be released.
Get some judges confirmed at key choke points and the firewall is in place.
Someone should just release the document. Leak & publish. Read it on the House floor. Leave a copy in the restroom. I do not care how it is released. We The People are the ultimate owners of the document.
Release the Atkinson transcript without redactions…and let the sunlight shine.
You’re talking like a Demonrat now…….and that’s exactly what they would do if it fit their agenda but we live in the world of unreality where some people think the R’s actually work for us.
When people realize the depth of corruption and deceit of our “beloved” government they either totally deny it or just hide and pretend it’s not real. Sad but true.
No; it is public information. You sound like a Democrat.
What I meant was if the Dems did something like that all the other Dems would back them up just like all the impeachment BS. But if an R released stuff most of the other R’s (RINO’s) would hide or side with the Dems and the stupid public would go along with them after reading or watching their favorite NEWS paper or TV NEWS show.
I’m about as Democrat as Tulsi is a Russian spy……..Puhleeze!
It’s called fighting fire with fire. We’ve tried the pussy foot game long enough. It’s why we are at the end of our rope.
Its No Holds Bar. This next 2.5 years is for all the marbles.
Didn’t we say that in 2024?
The question is: What Republican has the balls to do this? The scumbag D’s would do it is a heartbeat.
Exactly, Frankiezee!
Keep up the fight. We have to get the truth to the Sunlight. Go Sundance Go.
“We’re gonna need a bigger pickaxe..”
Some brave soul needs to “leak it” to the public.
where’s snowden?
Oh the irony…
Displaced to Russia for releasing “classified” information that was classified to hide the gubmint’s illegal spying.
I wonder how many people really understand what Snowden did and why he had to hide for his life?
That was my first eye opener into the corruption of the IC.
Can the President direct that a document which was classified by the Congress, and which has been released by the Congress to the Executive Branch for agency declassification review, be declassified forthwith even if there hasn’t been concurrence from one or more agency stakeholders?
In short….we will never see it!!
we don’t need to. we know what was done. it just needs to be destroyed.
I believe the term that attorneys use is: “Hiding the ball”
Killed by the new acting DOJ maybe?
Remember the scorecard of now 5 AG’s under PT since 2016
ZERO DS CROOKS Indicted or Arrested. It sure seems like come hell or high water they will NEVER go after the DS
Trump has been snookered for 10 years now……….
I wouldn’t say snookered, implying tricked or manipulated, I would say President Trump has been effectively obstructed from nominating and confirming his choices to fill positions and to pursue appropriate actions with fearless integrity.
Yes. So he’s snookered.
By definition President Trump has not, and cannot, be tricked (snookered) by swamp creatures that surround him. He’s nobody’s fool.
This man we have as President, by the grace of God, keeps chipping away at the barriers to accountability for the dastardly acts perpetrated against himself and all of us.
PDJT can’t do it alone so he has to accept what help he can get while fighting with one hand tied behind his back.
Yes he can be tricked and has been several times to the deficit of the American citizen.
He is awesome on many fronts and I fully support his agenda, but he has a large opening in his defensive line.
No,, so you’re an idiot.
Tell me again How many of PDJT’s A G’s have been confirmed?. Last I heard it was 14…..out of 94? Burn it down…
If you are referring to USA’s (US Attorneys) nominations, only 31 out of 93 positions have been confirmed in 14 months.
2 on 8/2/2025
16 (en bloc) on 10/7/25
13 (en bloc) on 12/13/25
0 in 2026
Currently there are 6 still pending in committee and 12 pending in Thune’s Executive Calendar waiting for a Senate floor vote.
And remember that those 93 USA’s direct, guide, and have control over 6,300+/- AUSA’s(Assistant US Attorneys.)
Guess how many of PT’s US Marshal nominees have been confirmed since the beginning of his second term–0!
And those 94 US Marshals guide and direct 3,800+/- Deputy US Marshals plus the 5,000+/- LE Officers under contract with the US Marshal Service for courthouse security.
Add up all those positions and you get a total of around 15,287 prosecutor and LE positions with a majority of Obama and Biden leftovers still in place.
Maybe the confirmation process needs an overhaul.
And I would say that as Chief Executive, Donald Trump is the Executive Branch. He can instruct whoever is AG or is FBI Director to do whatever he wants to be done, and how he wants it to be done, as long as he stays within his Article II powers and within the bounds of constitutional legislation.
Trump should have entered the Oval Office with a detailed plan of action for the DOJ and the FBI, one which could be managed from the White House by a team of legal specialists whose job it was to keep a close eye on the clean up of both organizations, and to quickly deal with any problems and issues that arose.
That this wasn’t done from the very beginning of the Trump 47 administration constitutes a major failure of Donald Trump to full his promises to his America First voter constituency.
I disagree with your appraisal of the President’s actions. He’s been preparing for exactly this moment most of his adult life.
He reminds me of Sampson pulling down the pillars of a pagan temple analogous to DC.
Our prayer should be that the President succeed and not himself be crushed beneath the ruins. He is willing to sacrifice his life for the United States as he’s demonstrated.
Trump 45.
I fixed it for you.
Despite his intensely positive actions elsewhere, his picks for supporting staff and management are suspect.
Semantics.
Trump has skills and talent. Personnel is not one of them.
We are suffering from the continuation of UniParty Swamp Growth and Trump has done little to nothing to stop it.
I’m not blaming him directly, but the people he chose to protect his mission have failed.
Schiff had help, legal help to make this data unobtainable and I’ll bet we know the names of those legal assistants from their other work in thwarting exposure of the Obama regime.
better just kill ’em all to make sure we don’t miss any.
So it comes down to if Tulsi’s balls are bigger than the other silo guards?
There’s no question Tulsi has more balls then 99% of the absolute human scum saturated in and around DC. Once and if she’s successful in exposing the treason committed by a high number of people trying to unlawfully remove a sitting US President, she’ll still need to contend with a leftist media who’s every bit as much to blame for the damage the DC scum did to America
We need a new CIA…”Citizens In Action”!
If our “citizens of the USA” had the guts of those in Leningrad who fought off the Nazis in WWII we would be in a much better place.
It’s illegal for plebeians to lie. The patricians can lie at will. The coverup of their criminal activities continues. Those that have committed crimes are the same ones who can deny the release of incriminating evidence against them. The judiciary nods in consent.
Treepers know the efforts and sacrifices from you in pursuit of Truth.
Wolverines faithfully patrol the perimeter.
Absolutely, Alleycats! Our FOB is wherever Sundance advances. Especially when he flies into enemy territory….aka DC, the District of Corruption.
Or, the District of Criminals! Both!
Makes me so mad I’d say a name but it would just be redacted.
if you apply the battle strategy of the trump team in iran ,focus on doing the most damage,to the delay of tulsi and company to release stuff,maybe its a strategy of doing the most damage to the perps of the impeachments. trump is exuding confidence and control over a lot of people. putting all the evidence together. as you can see from sundance’s volume of evidence,it needs arranged right before the shooter hits the marbles.
What would be worse, never getting it out to public or having it 95% redacted?
Same thing. A redacted document is an organization pretending to release information while keeping the public in the dark. To me, it’s just them giving me the middle finger. Taunting me. Mocking me. Laughing at me.
Curse them all!
Above my pay grade but would it be possible to bring him back in (subpoena) for a public hearing and ask the exact same questions?
If we have the transcript, we have the original questions and then we bypass the all the stakeholder nonsense.
Great idea, but too simple and straight forward, which is the exact opposite of want makes DC, DC (Deep Corruption).
Thank you for all you can!
The truth has no agenda. The liars have lots of agendas.
lots of “stakeholders” but none of us poor schlubs paying the bill.
let us burn it all down, please. have you not yet had enough enough of all this shit? what will it take……..or do ya just like bitching and moaning?
Start charging the culpable individuals with serious crimes. Like perhaps treason? Anyone who won’t sign on to release the document. Someone somewhere must have the power to charge them with something. Then let the process drown them for years. Deals would happen at some point? Every single one of them in that document.
You are awesome Sundance! Many thanks.
If it has been declassified, why are we going through a “declassification” process?
The declassification process is just a term that tries to disguise the fact that it is just a delaying tactic to give as many people as possible a chance to stop the document release.
No one is to blame for the fact that there is no release (it’s just “the process” don’tcha know), and in a few weeks time most will have forgotten about it. When enough people have forgotten, the whole thing is dropped, and we will never see it. They have done this dance more times than I can count.
The Potomoc two-step.
I think it’s time for Trump to call b.s. on this. They all work for him. It’s his call. Just release the shit already. Blow some people up, not just your midterms.
Sundance, you my friend are like a man splittin’ wood with way too many knots….you keep swinging and swinging and then finally POP! There goes a piece….now on to the next one.
I swear (under my breath) that if I hadn’t found the Treehouse many years ago I’d be a zombie by now.
Luckily, being a scientist I kept searching for the truth and here I am surrounded by so many folks with knowledge to share from all walks of life.
And we all know the government needs an enema….STAT!
CIA Analyst Ciaramella didn’t initial the plan…who was he working for/with? Maybe we should be looking for a “birth certificate”?
Have you ever driven past your local Dive Bar and read the marquee. . . Free Beer Tomorrow!
Great marketing.
Like John Fogerty sang so many moons ago, someday (Tomorrow) never comes.
Guess we now know why there were the Loomer-led stories about the President considering firing Tulsi. Something’s rattling their cage, and anything that causes discomfort, however slight, to these traitors is good news, remember, the process is the punishment is a two-way street.
LEAK IT BABY !
Their side leaks Everything in their interest……. Paybacks a Bitch !
Our president should just fully and completely release it!!!
Sundance says he can’t. That’s the whole point of this article.
It’s not in the jurisdiction of the executive.
It’s all BS; that information belongs to the people.
Awesome, law breaking people get to decide whether or not their law-breaking is exposed.
Must be nice.
Even though I don’t comment as much as I used to I appreciate the time and effort Sundance and his moderator team put into making this the ultimate truth telling website to be found anywhere on the web .
I just donated and I hope others do as well .
Who is the head shotcaller here for the IC?
People in the corrupt system know. We don’t.
Am I misunderstanding…if a person is mentioned in a IG report committing some sort of crime “that” very person can stop/hold up the release of the report?
Also can’t POTUS declassify anything?
I truly don’t understand why or how anyone mentioned in such a thing could have veto power over the release.
So much bullsiht.
Exactly. Is it any wonder this country is a zillion dollars in debt with this worthless gubmint that does nothing except cover their asses for all the corruption.
“We have one ally.
I’m doing all I can…“
We have a loving God, a Fearless Leader, 2 equally fearless Allies & a battalion of Wolverines.
I like our chances!
Gave up The Treehouse for Lent! Boy, THAT was a real penance!
I hope and pray; we all should, that Tulsi Gabbard has the BEST protection! Pray for her genuine protection!!!
We need a team. AG and Dept. AG in Unity. CEO & COO.
Blanche sandbagged Bondi. And now he’s #1.
A team, not including Todd and Caitlin.
Little donation SD. Agreed you are swinging the pick axe like Clint Eastwood did on that darn rock in Pale Rider. Remember they finally broke the rock in the movie. Hope the memory serves right. God bless Brother.
The question that should be asked is, what would Lincoln do?
Sundance
Thanks for continuously keeping this in the public eye. There are many that would like this to just disappear into the shadows. Keep the grubs sweating.
So what the Republic really needs is a person willing to risk it all for the whole truth to be placed before We the People.
Saving our Republic from these treasonous person is going to require such sacrifice.
Sundance, you are doing exactly what our Father God has called you to do…..I thank Him for your faithfulness.
May He provide the person(s) to break the barriers erected by evil.
Actually we have three allies, the other is God Almighty! I truly believe that in this battle against the evil deep state! Tulsi, Sundance and God we got this!!! JMO
Thank YOU, Professor Sundance.
We must remember our part., “Pray without ceasing ”
Then we remember:
“Not by might nor by power but by MY SPIRIT!” says The LORD.
Our Nation was founded by HIS GRACE & SPIRIT!
We keep the FAITH!
BLESSINGS
Simple,
Hand the document from the ODNI to the President who is the ultimate classification authority for any info in government and say sir it’s your call……release the Big Ugly.
It was not an executive branch document. The legislative branch originated the interview and the transcript therein. The executive branch can request to see it, but the legislative branch us under no obligation to share it.
The decision to release it or not belongs to the owner, the legislative branch. We have a divided govt., with separation of powers for issues of govt and oversight.
The executive cannot reach into the legislative without reason and purpose. The legislative cannot reach into the executive without reason and purpose. When there are arguments about reason and purpose, the Judicial branch determines.
This is our constitutional govt system, and yes, the bad guys within it have developed -over decades- systems and processes they can exploit, in adversary, to use the divided system of government to keep friction afoot to serve their interests.
The solution to the friction is functional govt. Corruption is why so much time is spent keeping govt in a status of friction.
Sundance, thanks. Not doubting what you say for a moment.
This aspect of separation of powers seems strange. It feels like it was designed expressly to keep the bad guy’s secrets hidden from view.
May Director Gabbard continue her
Critical Mission
with
Integrity
Honesty
and
Courage.
We have one ally.
I’m doing all I can…
Tulsi is familiar with the heat of battle and is not afraid to get down in the trenches with the enemy. Her stature is rising every day.
Lord we humbly ask that you to protect Tulsi and Sundance with your almighty power, shelter them under thy wing and give them the courage, strength and wisdom necessary for the trials ahead. Amen
Amen!
Perhaps President Trump will inaugurate a sea-change in U.S. culture by appointing an Attorney General under strict executive orders to arrest, arraign, try, convict and sentence men like John Brennan and women like Hillary Clinton. There are many such characters drawing fat government pensions even as they carry on with their treasonous hatred of the United States and its people. There ain’t gonna be no golden age unless such criminals are brought to swift and certain justice. Without equal justice for all peace and prosperity are impossible. Pretending otherwise is foolish.
