Several people have inquired about a Paul Sperry article [SEE HERE] and if CTH had any insight. While I generally refrain from discussion based on speculation, perhaps enough time has passed where my preferred lack of attention on the matter provides room for a quick outline.
Within the Sperry article, this fragment surfaces:
…”These well-placed sources also say that diGenova has cultivated several new witnesses, including whistleblowers from the intelligence community and the FBI, and that his team has also uncovered significant new evidence, including a massive FBI document spanning several hundred pages that reportedly exposes new malfeasance in the bureau’s probe of Trump’s alleged ties to Russia, codenamed Crossfire Hurricane, which was begun before the 2016 election.”…
“New malfeasance” is not exactly how I would characterize the likely described material.
What Sperry’s sources seem to be outlining based on description, likely pertains to the FBI contractor issue from 2015 and 2016 where access to the NSA database was defensively investigated after the NSA compliance officer raised flags about unauthorized use.
You may remember that somewhere between 1,000 and 9,999 illegal searches were conducted repeatedly using the same identifiers, between November 2015 and April 2016. The source of those searches was attributed to “FBI contractors.”
The period in question (’15 – ’16) when combined with the description given by FISA Court Presiding Justice Rosemary Collyer [first graphic above], indicated the queries were political in nature – conducted on GOP Presidential candidates; essentially, political surveillance.
The discovery of the process triggered the NSA Director to question the FBI Director about the nature and purpose of the FBI contractor queries. That questioning triggered a defensive response from the FBI to justify what had taken place.
Later, as part of Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz review of unauthorized violations of the FISA (702) process, the OIG reviewed the FBI use of contractors to include the issue originally outlined in early 2017. [second graphic above]
The document(s) described to Paul Sperry would appear to be the result of the FBI internal review and justification, as well as explanations given to the OIG. That “several hundred-page FBI reports” is apparently now under diGenova review.
When will someone be held accountable?
Question of the decade.
Century.
Does Kevin Clinesmith count?
No
Neither does John Bolton.
No
I have some bad news for you.
If their home or work address is known, they can be held accountable any time.
Case in point– read Unintended Conquences by John Ross. An historical timeline extended forward in to a fictional, but plausible, extrapolation of proceeding forward. You could say it becomes ‘redress of grievences’ with extreme prejudice.
Never
Been asking that question since I observed the Clintons in office in the 1990s. The answer is: never. No one is held accountable, no one goes to jail.
That’s where it all began, i.e., when the Clintons were in office.
You forget the first really deep state handling of an investigation. See, The Web of Conspiracy by Theodore Roscoe on Lincoln’s assassination.
https://a.co/d/0av1MlKJ
Tis a wee bit older than that, think of Cain and Able, the Prodigal Son and a myriad of other biblical and historical traitors who went Scot free (apologies to my adopted country men)
The Marxists are relying on history repeating itself.
Way before that but glaringly when Bush 1 undermined Reagan as his VP.
So true: https://x.com/allanfavish/articles
as soon as enough people stop waiting on government to deliver juatice and decide to take things into their own hands.
That’s worthy of an ‘Amen’ and an ‘attaboy.
THIS👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
Go watch ‘Citizen Vigilante’.
It’s basically ghosted.
Never. And the game starts all over again.
Reminds me of an old joke about a man on a long trail constantly yelling
at his complaining mule (sorry I forget the joke’s body)
but in the end the mule gets in the last word — “patience jackass, patience”
The really good news is it NOW appears that someone IS going to be held accountable. Having worked in a large law firm I came to understand how and why the law moves slowly. At least it looks like someone(s) may finally be held accountable. My biggest concern is crooked judges.
Never, elected politicos and their minions ‘aka’ Deep State rely on the reliably slow-working Justice system and demographics(voter turnover)to stay in office and run their grifts.
Patiently awaiting serious indictments of high value targets.
I am also awaiting, but not patiently, nor with much hope, TBH!
Guard against the Stockholm Syndrome. There are paid demoralizers running fast and loose across the blogs. They count on people like you “giving up hope”. And sweeping one more seditious mess under the table. Fie!
I have written this dozens of time.
If you are in the boat, ROW. Otherwise get out, and let someone bobbling in the water take your place.
They’re called Eeyors.
The Noticing™️continues.
I’m impatiently waiting for arrests and persecutions. Yes, I spelled that correctly.
What is the power of either, if they do not lead to successful prosecutions?
Persecutions can be and often are extra-judicial. Consider the Colonial practice of tar and feathers, for one example. History can be a guide for the future or a lesson lost.
Only We the People can fix this!!! 🇺🇲
No, we the people cannot, this is Gods plan. His ways are higher than ours. We do not understand, not will we ever understand His ways.
God uses people to implement his plans.
Let’s take the story of David & Goliath.
David was compelled to take action against Goliath when nobody else wanted to. I would imagine David was a bit hesitant when he looked at Goliath. That’s one big dude. But somebody had to do something. And that task was given to David. And he accepted.
Now David could have just sat there and did nothing. But he took action. And you know the rest of the story.
So yes we can pray all we want, and we should, but sometimes you are given a task whether you like it or not.
And I hope and pray for the future. Daily. First thing in the morning when getting out of bed. And I pray every night while in bed. The Lords Prayer as Sundance posts daily:
“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE”
And sometimes, just sometimes, his will is worked by using his people to enforce it.
Hope you have a tremendous amount of patience.
Your going to need it.
“You are going to need it” = You’re going to need it.
Enlightening!
This is why the lamp posts in front of the US Supreme Court building, sit on the backs of turtles.

Biden stole a lot more than one election. He stole the federal judiciary.
One needs to include every GOP senator who voted to confirm the commie bastards!
Democrats Stealing the Judiciary began long before Biden!
Actually, he borrowed the judiciary bequeathed to him by our first(?) half-white, Muslim, Communist POTUS and his hired wingman.
May they be our last.
Would be nice Mrs Sunshine.
We must “be still and know that I am god” We must be patient and wait…..
I await the return of my Lord, as most should here. All of this, all of it, is in the lords hands.
I’ve been waiting since the Clinton era. My patience has run out.
Looking at the Declaration of Independence I am struck by the part which reads:
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
How did these federal data breaches correlate with Paul Pelosi’s amazing stock picks during that same period? Asking for a friend.
Yes yes we know it takes time to develop the cases! Plural. However, some arrest please as the Bolton guilty plea has dried. Make some arrest before November anyway.
Norm Eisen and crew would be neck deep into pleas, long prison terms and working AGAIN to put President Trump in the slammer! Good grief Spit!

Swat raid them both at 5 a.m. and throw them in prison. Conspiracy. Treason.
Link is blank now. 🤔
Noem Eisen, friend to SCOTUS John Roberts? Be still my heart!
And Norm Eisen works closely with Mary McCord (or Marty if you prefer), who is married to Sheldon Snook, who was CJ John Roberts chief of staff (or similar title).
They all work to stop President Trump at all costs. (And will again if the “r’s” don’t hold the line.
Incestuous little bunch, ain’t they?
Yup. Check the link!
How many data base searches were authorized under Samantha Powers name?
And what were the search terms that were used?
Excellent question. What they were searching for, is as important as who was doing the searching. Thank you.
and why can’t the FBI/NSA identify all the perps, what they searched, for whom, who requested received the search results, what was done with or as a result of the search results, and where/who destroyed or kept the search results.
Why were access systems put in law firms and other “contractors”, were the illegal searches requested by the FBI, or done secretly? Who at the FBI knew about any of the illegal searches? by ‘illegal’, is meant to include ‘FBI authorized’ but improper political spying.
the real, original Beau Geste
Donald Trump shirtless, et al.
600
600!! My gawd, the lady must have gotten writer’s cramp during the 11th hours of the Obama administration, considering she had no need to know any of this at this late date in the first place.
Indeed, what were the connecting elements within those 600 data breach requests.
No, no, no.
“600” is the number typed into the query field.
Same as “702” is query code for all citizens meta data.
No, no, no and the user isn’t typing the query type into a field.
Get Trump, what else?
Overthrow the US gvt!
Well over 400 and she publicly stated on CNN that she never made the FISA searches so either she’s lying or someone used her password authorization which is also a crime that can be traced.
The gift (CIA/FBI) that never stops giving but the result is ayways the same.. What can we do other than drive by? I am not even sure Suleimani wasn’t a CIA setup.
What will the very current Rep Luna hearings in the House reveal – uncovering bad actors and bad actions within the CIA.
I keep reading about all these violations of our laws and Constitutional rights by various government individuals in various agencies and nothing ever comes of it? So what’s different this time? 🥱
What is your own theory, since you diligently track these matters, Why do you think “nothing happens”. How would you break up this ice jam.
My theory is the deep state takes care of its own. The corrupt DC District Court is stacked with obama/biden corrupt activist leftist Judges to protect Democrat criminality! The DC District Court is stacked with deep state jurors! Charges would have to be brought in some other jurisdiction to stand a chance of indictment and conviction. But if the crime only occurred in the DC District Court it would be difficult to change venue. JMO But I’m not lawyer so what do I know?
Do you think something happen, there will charges brought by acting AG Todd Blanche? If so when/
All points, well taken. The law just codifies human behavior. So your gut remains a good guide to ethical conduct, that we need to protect by law.
Now that you’ve chimed in with this tired shtick, it’s pretty much unchanged.
Agree!!! It is a “tired shtick”!!!
Yeah! EXCELLENT question!
I just keep on praying that PDJT, who always likes to win, has something REALLY GOOD up his sleeves.
Pray, hope, and don’t worry! St Padre Pio
Who was Joseph Mifsud?
There’s actually really good news here. It strongly indicates diGenova is building the foundation of an ongoing conspiracy. There is no statute of limitations on conspiracies.
I am hopeful that they left access to the system open and highly monitored while 702 is currently not reauthorized, and they are tracking for prosecution every single violation. Then they look back.
Seem to remember Durham? Found one of those big law firms had a NSA terminal in there office in a non-governmental SCIF?
All something about GTech
this is not me, the original beau geste. I know how to spell ‘their’, but would use “its” rather than a plural pronoun for a single entity, to engage in “woke’ language destruction
🤔 interesting, add rem please take note…🖖🏻
One of u will have to change their moniker to Sybil.
Yes. It was the law firm used by Hillary’s campaign. I can’t remember the name.
Perkins Coie
Perkins Coie was the law firm’s name. Marc Elias works there. He was supposed to curate the Steele Dossier’s use for Hillary to have a pretext for filing a legal action to challenge the results of the election if she lost in 2016. After reading the Dossier I challenged Elias about his work as curator of the Opposition Research he secured for his hapless client:
Elias started bitching about how lousy Twitter was to communicate in and said he was probably going to leave.
Perkins Cuoe(?) Sp
It was a SCIF, but the FBI like to call it a “Secure Work Environment, something like that. All anyone needs to remember is:
If you can read or discuss Sensitive Compartmented Information in a SWE, Then an SWE is a SCIF.
For some reason the FBI was sensitive about authorizing a SCIF for MICHAEL SUSSMAN at the offices of Perkins Coie, a DNC-linked DC lawfirm. Sussman was once the head of Cybercrime/Cybersecurity cases at the DOJ. If the FBI wanted to maintain communications about sensitive cyber breaches in government or in a classified government contractor’s offices, there is a plausible reason for letting Sussman have a SCIF for his immediate use in an emergency. Like how Hillary used her SCIFs that she had in her mansions, it is how those people use the SCIFs is what is important.
Perkins Coie.
Please don’t tell me how many tens of thousands of times the US Law has been broken.
Only tell me when a single one of the criminals will ever receive justice.
Otherwise: “You’re absolutely right, and they got away with it scot-free.”
And they, like everyone else like them in America today, will continue to do so.
Prove Me Wrong.™
I can prove you wrong, very wrong. Listen up.
The alleged Nixon Watergate co-conspirators ended up in the slammer for years. The alleged king pins – Haldeman, Erlichmean and Dean spent their days at the Lompoc Federal Penitentiary. Haldeman, to his last days denied any wrong doing and claimed the whole Watergate thing was kangaroo court calculated to take Nixon down.
Which would be another way of saying it was a CIA set up. Anti-Castro Cubans here, anti-Castro Cubans there. CIA and the MIC chose sides and acted things out, during this Cold War frenzy in our own back yard under the shadow of Cold War surrogate Vietnam.
John Dean is still a scumbucket rat.
Like all those Illegals stealing us blind and getting away millions and running back to their homeland with it, meanwhile us hard working tax paying dregs miss ten cents on our tax returns get knocks on our doors by the Feds. Isn’t it wonderful to be a tax payer in the good ole USA.
And now our ILLUSTRIOUS Supreme Court has just said anybody in the entire world can come here and plop out a baby and it is automatically a citizen. Ain’t that grand.
Lesson: It is okay to steal from the government; but it is very not okay to not give to the government.
Perfect response
Then we should make a law that any of these babies can be a Supreme Court Justice and fire the nuts there now!
Only We the People can fix this!!! 🇺🇲
“unauthorized violations”
Makes me wonder if there were “authorized violations”?
Before they got caught. Then they instantly changed to unauthorized. Not me, boss.
Whoever can be prosecuted so be it absolutely clean house after that ! Everyone associated with the crimes needs to be fired don’t worry Rubio can fill in in his spare time
Might be interesting in the months to come.
Breaking down each action into siloed cases may work.
The article linked above mentions prosecution using 2 statutes, 242 Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law and 371 Conspiracy to Defraud the United States.
1 decision can take away a right.
2-3 people can be involved in a conspiracy.
The Dossier, to the ICA, to cross fire hurricane, classified documents case, on, and on.
Each action, in my view, may violate the laws listed above.
AI can detect patterns and links, when fed the raw data. That can then be verified by humans.
Well lets hope diGenova & Toensing are our modern day Lewis and Clarke….🍿🍿🍿🤔🍻….. Lots to discover yet…
and maybe with just a touch of Vlad the Impaler….just a touch ……
Sorry to disappoint you but diGenova & toensing wer major cheerleaders for Bill Barr i have no faith in ether of them
Who wasn’t disappointed that Bill Barr turned out to be a shitbag?
We’ve all been screwed over by these people, look at what they’ve done to the President.
And who knew it was all this bad? we wouldn’t be where we are had we known- and the President himself has admitted it’s all been far worse than he knew.
Hahahaha….disappointed?…..At my age I’ve learned the Hard WAY that a pessimist is just an optimist with experience….
But NH has it right….Trump somehow made it across a MINEFIELD on his 1st rodeo tour by his sheer industrial strength NY chutzpah…..
The feckless detestable disguised Judases were legion.
Vlad was actually a good guy!!!
Enough to be satisfied with Sunlight and scurrying Cockroaches and Rats and other Vermin.
I have found Sperry to be a good and enterprising reporter. Enterprising meaning a diligent worker compared to a MSM sycophant standing around waiting for D headquarters to assign his next talking point or false narrative.
However, he can be months or years behind CTH reporting.

They must be getting too close… Brennan filed a lawsuit in DC:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-cia-director-john-brennan-sues-justice-dept-trump-officials/
FTA:
“Brennan is asking a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to order Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Justice Department, as well as the White House, ODNI and CIA, to “preserve materials and communications potentially relevant to Director Brennan’s legal and constitutional challenges to any future criminal charges.”
Brennan’s case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden nominee.
The complaint also singles out the U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, and Joseph DiGenova, a counselor to the acting attorney general who was tapped to lead one ongoing DOJ criminal investigation into Brennan after the career prosecutor overseeing the probe was removed from the case.”
“Brennan filed this lawsuit in DC” because he is well informed what RCI’s Paul Sperry told the interested general public on 6/25/26!

Another Merry-Go-Round.
Forever Being Ignored. The fbi.
Back during the first Trump term, Joe diGenova had a weekly segment on Boston radio Howie Carr’s show and there is a trove of information in those interviews that isn’t anywhere else.
Howie Carr started off his career as the assistant editor to Boston Herald back in 1979, and a whole lot has gone on in Boston over his career. He’s an expert on the Kennedys, the Mafia, Whitey Bulger and Bob Mueller, it goes on and on.
He has done and seen a lot-and he’s got a memory like a steel trap.
Likewise, Joe has also had a long career, these two go way back.
So when two men like this get together, it makes for some very interesting conversations. They weren’t ‘interviews’, they were two friends talking about what is going on with a deep knowledge of the background as to how we got here.
I knew when Joe’s name came up here for this job, a whole lot was going to happen, this man knows what’s been going on and where to find what he needs. I’m not one bit surprised by what I’m reading.
And then there is Joe’s wife Victoria- we got a twofer. She’s brilliant as well.
I can tell ya this: Joe diGenova is another one with deep anger that has been waiting all his life to do all this and something IS going to come of all this because I am sure Joe won’t stop until he’s putting people in jail. He’s that kinda man- he’s cut from that same cloth as Tom Homan is.. very smart and tough men. (Tom was also a regular on Howie’s show).
Amen….I 2nd 🍻
Good to know!
10 years on and no significant prosecutions. The effort seems useless now. Why bother at all?
It’s past time for the military to step in and right the ship.
Todd Blanche is prosecuting ICE Agents in Minneapolis who were attacked by illegal immigrants and ANTIFA. Does that count?
I Key paragraphs (bolding is mine) of Russiagate Prosecutor Calls Audible On ‘Grand Conspiracy’ | RealClearInvestigations
“Insider sources […] said two separate grand juries in South Florida are now collecting and hearing evidence in what could become a series of conspiracy cases brought against people who served in the highest reaches of government, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former FBI Director James Comey.
Since much of the government’s alleged corrupt anti-Trump activity took place in 2016, prosecuting the cases as conspiracies is the only way to get around the five-year federal statute of limitations.
“The Justice Department official told RCI that his Florida team will not move forward with indictments without confidence that they can prevail in a court of law.
“We’re not going to bring indictments just to make ourselves feel good only to lose and give the bad guys a victory,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. “So it’s a lot of work. But that’s what we’re doing.”
Currently, no indictments are under seal, the official said.
However, the clock is ticking. DiGenova will have to secure convictions or guilty pleas before January 2029, when a Democratic administration could take over the DOJ and quash any indictments and prosecutions.”
II. Statute of Limitations [1}
is five years. The clock starts running from the date of the last overt act committed by any member of the conspiracy group, The burden to proove the withdrawal from the conspirancy lies by the defendant.

And this matters how if the Trump Justice Department has not one person with the will to prosecute the individuals involved in this crime?
It’s like convicting Al Capone for tax fraud. Taxes weren’t remotely his core crime, but it was the one sure thing that put him behind bars. Comprehensive exposure of his true evil came after he was safely tucked away in a cement cell forever … by any means necessary.
Same logic here. Cold anger dictates you get these crooks by any possible legal means.
Somehow I suspect Comey having 8 high powered attorneys defending his little seashell stunt is about something more than his wandering on a beach.
Sorry I was distracted by the knobbly knees and forgot to read the article!
Let’s call “raw FISA information” by its real name, illegally collected electronic communications of US persons.”
Color me very skeptical of Joseph diGenova. He was a guest on WMAL every Monday morning for months on end telling the listeners to trust Bill Barr, AG. Barr would get to the bottom of the Russiagate scandal and hold people accountable. Is he currently doing penance for those unsubstantiated assertions? What IS he doing?
The comment that we are not going to indict a conspirator till we know we can win is very bothersome. Lawfare is not about winning a verdict. Just ask Eisen and Elias etc etc. There is a LOT of low hanging fruit that should be immediately indicted, e.g. Vindeman.
Lawfare by Eisen and Elias, etc,. is different because, as we have learned here, lawfare isn’t so much about winning a case as it is getting narratives into the court of public opinion.
In the left’s case they have their MSM sycophants to do that.
The right isn’t so well coordinated on messaging and reach.
Some women should not wear short skirts.
At least it’s not McCord.
I smell a lot of burnt rubber.
I think people are scared. Brennan filed a brief in DC for preservation of records, and a vindictive prosecution angle to dismiss.
Suing every agency involved and individuals within the agencies.
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.294102/gov.uscourts.dcd.294102.1.0.pdf
So maybe an indictment is on the horizon, John is worried the government will destroy records.
“The injury is the very real prospect that
the government will fail to preserve the records he would need to challenge an indictment and
protect his Due Process and Equal Protection rights not to be vindictively or selectively
prosecuted.”
So rich with irony, closeted burn bags at FBI headquarters and John is worried about the preservation of evidence.
