FN 107, 108, 109 and 110 are all in the redacted paragraph top of page 25, pertaining to Carter Page. However, the footnotes are NOT redacted.

I have long said, the FISA Application that was released to the public (by Mueller/Weissman in 2018) is NOT the same as the FISA Application that sits at the DOJ-NSD/FISC.

I told John Durham in August 2020 I suspected the publicly released FISA was *NOT* the same as the one with the court.

[*Initial and first renewal had FISC stamps (March 17, 2017). The second and third renewals did not have FISC stamps at all when released.]

Former Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein said during Senate hearing (Ted Cruz question), he did not release the FISA; the special counsel team did. They held authority over DOJ/FBI on all things Russiagate.

When Mueller/Weissmann released the FISA application, July 2018 (it was part of a set of timed releases including the Warner texts) under the ridiculous auspices of releasing a Top Secret TSCI document to fulfill a FOIA request…. the first ever in history of the IC… few people stopped to ask why was this ok’d to release?

They had to release the FISA because it was already public (Warner/Wolfe illegal leak), and the underpinning of several outcomes of evidence for the Mueller indictments (fruit of the poisonous tree). But there were some aspects Mueller/Weissmann could not risk in the release.

There may be a valid explanation for what I am about to briefly note; something akin to Nellie Ohr being the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation, such that she is a target therein, but don’t get your hopes up.  The Occam’s Razor within this specific example is that DC interests (current FBI, CIA, DNI and DOJ) are controlling the protection of the coverup operation.

Keep in mind, according to DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe the current redactions to the declassified John Durham Annex, were determined by current Intelligence officials.  Here’s the example/issue.

On page #5 of the declassified report [DIRECT LINK HERE] Durham notes an issue with the transcription from Russian to English of the source information to the CIA giving the U.S. intelligence service a head’s up on what Hillary Clinton was doing.  However, notice the 3-line redaction at the bottom of the second paragraph.

You can tell from the visibility of footnote #14 and footnote #16 that inside the redacted sentence is footnote #15.

As customary in these releases, the IC reviewers make mistakes.  We look at the bottom of the page and find they forgot to redact the footnote that pertains to the redacted sentence.

The reality of the U.S-Canada economic relationship and the position of President Donald Trump is not that difficult to understand if you take all the disparate datapoints and quotes from Trump and put them into context.

During a White House meeting with Mark Carney, President Trump essentially told the Canadian Prime Minister why he was in no hurry to get to a deal with Canada.

The 35% tariffs on non-USMCA goods are going to trigger on August 1st, because the main priority of Trump -looking toward Canada- is to dissolve the USMCA.

During the May 6th oval office meeting with Carney, President Trump was discussing the USMCA and said:  “As you know it terminates fairly shortly. It gets renegotiated fairly shortly.” … “This was a transitional deal, and we’ll see what happens, we’re going to start renegotiating that” … “I don’t know if it serves a purpose anymore.”  …. “And the biggest purpose it served was, we got rid of NAFTA.”

To understand why President Trump wants to dissolve the USMCA {SEE HERE}.  To understand the technical value of dissolving the USMCA {SEE HERE}.  It’s not a complicated economic analysis; it’s common sense.

Currently, approximately 60% of the traded goods and services between the U.S. and Canada are covered by the USMCA; the remaining 40% will be hit by tariffs on August 1st at a 35% rate.

When the USMCA is renegotiated, predictably dissolved in favor of two bilateral trade agreements – one for Mexico and one for Canada, all of the U.S-Canada trade sectors will be part of the enlarged free trade negotiation.  As a result, there is absolutely no motive to engage in trade discussions now.

Earlier this morning President Donald Trump welcomed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Turnberry, Scotland where the two leaders will hold bilateral discussions on trade and foreign affairs.

The video is prompted to 16:20. The bagpipes stop eventually in the video at 19:30. President Trump and Prime Minister Starmer take questions from the assembled press pool. President Trump calls out the British government for rampant illegal immigration, as Starmer tries to say his govt is deporting illegal migrants back to their home country.

Questions centered heavily around the Israeli conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The plight of the Palestinians is a key focus point for the British people; an outcome of the mass Islamic migration that has taken place for the past two-decades in Great Britain. The population of Islamists in the U.K now drives the political priorities.

Toward the end of the video 28:00, President Trump notes the Russia/Ukraine conflict has led to a “disappointment in Vladimir Putin,” and a possibility that President Trump will reduce the 50-day deadline he gave to Russia. WATCH: 

The majority of politicians within Great Britain want to expand the conflict with Russia as much as possible and bring the full NATO contingent into the war against Russia.  President Trump has been reluctant to support expanded war as requested by the British, French and German group who formed a “coalition of the willing.”

In addition to London being the Jihad capital of the region, Great Britain is also the home of the Fabian Socialists.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the recent releases from his office and from the office of DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Within the interview Director Ratcliffe references the special counsel John Durham investigation, subsequent 306-page report, and then notes the 48-page classified appendix to the report.  According to Ratcliffe he is in the process of declassifying and releasing the 48-page annex.  Additionally, there are witness transcripts from Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper and possibly Andrew McCabe that could be released.

Remember, James Comey refused to be interviewed by John Durham; however, Andrew McCabe gave under oath testimony to the OIG about Comey and that transcript fingering James Comey is cited on footnote #1207 of page 199 of the Durham report.  WATCH:

Special Counsel John Durham clearly showed in his 306-page report with a 48-page classified appendix, that Russia did nothing to interfere in the 2016 election.  The entire Russian Interference operation was a Clinton fabrication, later enhanced by a Federal Bureau of Investigation who used the fabrication as a cover-up justification to hide their surveillance of the Trump campaign.

There were no Russian diplomats involved; there was no Russian election interference; there was no Russian hacking of the DNC; it was all a fraud created by the intelligence community (IC), FBI and Main Justice to support Hillary Clinton’s lies and then cover their own targeting tracks.

I have wanted to read that 2019 transcript of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s testimony about James Comey for six years.   All indications from John Durham were that McCabe spilled details about Comey’s involvement.

 ~Understanding Silos 101~

Senator Lindsey Graham (Judiciary Committee) and Senator John Cornyn (SSCI) are requesting Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a special counsel to look into the Obama administration’s weaponization of the U.S. Intelligence Community to target Donald Trump with fabricated smears and false evidence using a fraudulent Russia connection.

This should be an immediate hard no for a few reasons.  Number one, the special counsel process is where investigations go to die intentionally as a design of the legislative branch defense process.  Second, the special counsel would not have cross-silo access to exfiltrate information unless it was accompanied by very specific Presidential authority.  It just will not work.

[SOURCE]

The intelligence community information that exposes the plot will be found in very distinct ‘silos’, essentially the intelligence agencies that house the information.  Additionally, inside each of the silos there is a formal and informal process to designate that information based on its internally defined national security value.

An example of silo retention can be found in the issue of the FBI housing information in “prohibited access” files.  These files are not even discoverable by most internal search efforts.

Within the Sentinel system there are “Restricted Access” files that are used to control who can view the file information (sources and methods etc.).  The FBI or investigative official (think authorized special counsel) can see the file but cannot access the information within it without a higher clearance level.  In these files the Special Counsel can request access and then review.  However, recently people discovered there are “Prohibited Access” files that makes the file invisible to both outside and inside searches or queries and are exclusively controlled by the FBI Director and FBI Deputy Director.

The Federal Reserve is spending $2.5 billion to renovate existing buildings for the agency.  The cost overruns so far exceed $700 million in taxpayer money.  Both President Trump and OMB Director Russ Vought are furious at the costs.

The $2.5bn refurbishment of the FED headquarters is at the center of focus by the White House, looking specifically at Jay Powell the central bank’s chair. Russell Vought has compared the ridiculous renovation cost to the building of the Palace of Versailles and described cost overruns as “outrageous”.

President Trump, a builder who knows the price of all things in the construction sector, takes matters into his own hands and grabs a hard hat to tour the facility that is not expected to be finished for another two years. Here are his initial remarks (prompted):

President Trump heads to the Federal Reserve today to tour a new FED building and renovation process that is experiencing massive cost overruns.  There are some impromptu remarks that were previously made moments ago that I will break out in another post; however, President Trump is expected to deliver remarks shortly.

Today, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard declassified and released the 2020 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence report (HPSCI), that outlines their investigation into the Intelligence Community Joint Analysis Report (JAR) of 2016 and the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that followed.

~ SEE DECLASSIFIED REPORT PDF HERE ~

I know that’s a lot of acronyms, however, the key element of Director Tulsi Gabbard’s release today is to underscore just how fraudulent the JAR/ICA created in 2016 and 2017 was. The JAR/ICA report was fabricated by the CIA and Intelligence Community to give the appearance of Russia interfering in the election. The declassified HPSCI report takes that fraudulent intelligence analysis apart, step by step.

The JAR/ICA was also used to justify President Obama expelling Russian diplomats, confiscating Russian property, targeting Russian officials for sanctions, and imposing a series of sanctions against various Russian entities, individuals, groups and organizations.  All of the Obama’s Russian targeting effort was part of an enhanced IC op to give additional patina of credibility to the fraudulent premise.

In many ways, Russia was collateral damage created by a domestic USA political intelligence operation run by Obama allies in order to attempt to destabilize the incoming administration of President Donald Trump.  ¹The framing of both Donald Trump and Russia is going to be a key facet to accept as time moves forward on this story.

Tulsi Gabbard gives a press conference.  WATCH:

.

I will have more on the Tulsi release of the HPSCI report shortly.  In the interim…

¹The timing does not appear to be accidental.  President Trump gives Russia 50 days to come to the negotiation table and end the conflict in Ukraine.  A few days later, DNI Tulsi Gabbard begins releasing information that shows both President Trump and President Putin being framed by the U.S. Intelligence Community.

It would appear that President Trump is setting a new baseline for a relationship with Russia.  However, first the tables need to be cleared of the historic manipulation and targeting that structurally, and fraudulently, set the course of conflict and antagonism in U.S-Russia relations.

I’ll repeat it as much as needed, until it sinks in.

The U.S-Canada trade deal status is simply a no-brainer. President Trump will answer questions about Canada and tariffs, he’ll put people into seats to discuss trade with the Canadian delegation, and he’ll give every outward appearance of being favorable to Prime Minister Mark Carney…. BUT…

In the background, Trump is simply waiting for the USMCA timeline to trigger a renegotiation. President Donald Trump is ambivalent to the trade partnership with Canada. This moot-status reality is why there’s no substantive engagement.

‘No deal’ -until USMCA redo- is a win for President Trump.

For some bizarre reason that I simply cannot fathom, almost every Canadian politician seems entirely oblivious to this reality. Instead, Canadian Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Mark Carney’s chief-of-staff, Marc-André Blanchard are once again coming to DC to ride their bicycles in slow circles at the bottom of the White House driveway while staring in the windows.

An article in Politico notes the Canadian premiers are now accepting the August 1st deadline will pass without any agreement, and the 35% reciprocal tariffs on non-USMCA products (meaning a lot of stuff) is going to trigger.

Literally, everything from Canada that has a non-USMCA component is going to be tariffed. Think about all the stuff from China, Asia (writ large) and Europe that Canada assembles for finished goods. All of that stuff will be subject to the tariffs.
