U.S. Magistrate Bruce Reinhart accepted the proposal from the U.S. Dept of Justice (DOJ) to release, in heavily redacted form, the underlying affidavit used to justify the search warrant issued by Reinhart to raid President Trump’s home in Florida. The DOJ tailored the redactions and Reinhart accepted the modifications without issue. The affidavit has now been released to the public. [SEE HERE for Pdf Form] – Mar-a-Lago Raid Affidavit
The all too familiar David Laufman says it out loud, but few will pay attention. “That’s what this is. It- just because [the DOJ-NSD justification for the raid on Trump] implicates classified information to me, doesn’t seem to give a platform for the House Intelligence Committee to intrude at this time,” Laufman says.
In the aftermath of 9-11 the U.S. government created the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct surveillance of “domestic threats,” the American people. When Barack Obama and Eric Holder stepped in a few years later, they created the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). This division specializes in weaponizing surveillance against their political enemies. The DOJ-NSD had no inspector general oversight and operates within Main Justice, but above the law. Essentially, they use the justification of ‘national security‘ to defend the Fourth Branch of Government, the permanent surveillance state. {Go Deep}
David Laufman was the former head of the DOJ-NSD and he specialized in the targeting process. Laufman was a primary player in the defense of Hillary Clinton against accusations of ‘national security violations’ as a result of her classified personal email use. Laufman sat in on, guided and shaped the FBI interview Hillary Clinton. Additionally, David Laufman is one of Christine Blasey-Ford’s Rehoboth “beach friends,” as outlined in the Judge Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.
When Blasey-Ford said she wrote the letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein accusing Brett Kavanaugh of college rape, she was with a bunch of “beach friends” including former FBI public information officer Monica McLean who actually wrote the letter. When investigators began digging into the background of the letter construct, McLean came under legal scrutiny. McLean hired beach friend David Laufman to shield her from legal trouble and represent her legal interests. David Laufman then worked together with another former DOJ lawyer, Michael Bromwich, who represented Christine Blasey-Ford. That’s the network.
Fast forward to 2022. All network indications reflect that David Laufman, similar in effort to former DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord (Schiff congressional impeachment team), is one of the primary Lawfare agents currently guiding, mapping and counseling the use of the DOJ-NSD to continue the targeting of Donald Trump. Laufman provides the legal strategies for the people within the current DOJ-NSD to follow. In addition to being a familiar face on MSNBC, we should consider David Laufman the outside agent providing guidance to Main Justice intent.
Giddy up… In the next series of posts CTH is going to outline the 2022 midterm election roadmap for both wings of the DC political club. Unfortunately, once you see the strings on the UniParty club marionettes, you can never return to that moment in time when you did not see them.
Long before President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago was raided, both political clubs in DC appear to have developed a map to stop the voters from interfering in the DC business model. Always remember, the color of the flag atop the dome matters not, the provided indulgences underneath the dome do not change. Destroying the populist movement known currently as the MAGA base, formerly the Tea Party, is as much a goal for the red club as it is the blue club.
Shortly before August 8, 2022, club agreements were made, prior strategies within the DNC and RNC wings were triggered, and events began unfolding according to the script. In the aftermath of the raid the club’s narrative engineers now begin to finish setting the stage. “Democracy is at risk” because of this populist uprising. WATCH:
… But it’s not the polling per se’ that people should be paying attention to. Instead, it’s the overarching national midterm election narrative being created. There’s a vulgarian hoard out there creating all of this angst and trepidation you are feeling. Voters are going to have to decide if they want instability (an election outcome against the interests of Washington DC), or stability (an election outcome congruent with the interest of Washington DC).
This is how the abuser system works. If you leave, you have no idea what might happen next; however, if you stay, you have the benefit of familiarity. Even though the abuse is painful (‘we’re on the wrong track), at least it is consistent and predictable. Skilled abusers leverage psychological resignation.
You might scoff at the metaphor, but on a larger national dynamic that’s our reality. The club knows how to leverage this anxiety, and the club narrative engineers in media know exactly how to support it. In the red wing of the club, CTH calls it ‘battered conservative syndrome.’ In the blue wing of the club, it’s ‘group think‘ by peer pressure. The intents of both approaches are the same, keep the abused voter from exiting the cycle.
Mike Turner replaced congressman Devin Nunes as the ranking member on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). During this interview with CBS and Ed O’Keefe, Turner discusses his perspective on the DOJ/FBI raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago and the issue of publicly releasing the DOJ affidavit used to gain a search warrant. [Transcript Here]
Ed O’Keefe carries the baton of narrative engineering on behalf of the regime, using leading questions in an effort to indict President Trump in the court of public opinion, while Mike Turner plays the customary role of a high-minded republican who is aghast, shocked and horrified by the unprofessional conduct of the former president and the institutions targeting him based on political motive.
Toward the end of the interview, O’Keefe does the familiar partisan shift in asking what Turner would do as Chairman of the HPSCI if republicans take the House. Here Turner pledges to reverse the current committee use by Adam Schiff, vows not weaponize the committee for political purposes, and return the HPSCI back to the more important business of investigating Chinese espionage etc. WATCH:
[Transcript] – ED O’KEEFE: Welcome back to FACE THE NATION. I’m Ed O’Keefe in this morning for Margaret Brennan. We turn now to the FBI search at former President Trump’s Florida resort. Ohio Congressman Mike Turner is the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee and he joins us this morning from Dayton, Ohio. Congressman, great to have you with us.
Comprehensively compromised U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said Thursday he is leaning toward releasing some of the evidence presented by corrupt U.S. Justice Department officials to justify the general search warrant of President Donald Trump’s Florida home last week.
This is a case that pits We The People against the justice system, news organizations and corrupt federal prosecutors. Unfortunately, we have no representation in the matter.
The justice system, including the DOJ, FBI regime police and federal judiciary, needs to protect itself from public scrutiny lest the people discover the true motives of the star chamber narrative called ‘national security.’ As a consequence, we should expect no sunlight that is not heavily managed to protect all state stakeholders. In the background, China, Russia and Iran grin mightily as the illusion of democracy is exposed.
(Newsmax) – […] Judge Bruce Reinhart said he believes “there are portions of the affidavit that could be unsealed,” referring to the sworn statement laying out the evidence for why there was probable cause to search Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
He ordered the Justice Department to file a redacted version of the affidavit under seal by noon next Thursday, but said the Justice Department will be given the opportunity to appeal if prosecutors don’t agree with his proposed version.
Reinhart’s order seemed to mark a victory for news outlets, who appeared in federal court in West Palm Beach on Thursday to persuade the judge that the public interest in the affidavit outweighs the benefits of keeping it sealed. The Justice Department opposes the release of the evidence.
Tucker Carlson gives his take on the resounding defeat of Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney from the state of Wyoming.
Indeed, one of the brutally obvious points that Carlson hammers home, is that Cheney was crushed by the voters of Wyoming. Everyone outside Wyoming was a spectator on the sidelines watching to see how they felt about the insufferable war-mongering witch; but no one outside Wyoming had the ability to vote.
Ms. Cheney was rejected by her own tribe, by the system of Wyoming democracy in action, the same system she promoted during her self-absorbed time in congress. Perhaps if Ms. Cheney had actually represented the people of Wyoming, instead of her own ego-driven aspirations of political power, she may have avoided the biggest primary defeat by an incumbent officeholder in a century. WATCH:
Tonight, is one of those primary nights we have all been waiting for. The moment Wyoming voters have the opportunity to dispatch Representative Liz Cheney into the ash heap of republican politics. President Trump has endorsed Harriet Hageman to defeat and remove the horrible Cheney.
There’s also the ranked primary in Alaska, where we will watch to see if Senator Lisa Murkowski can be defeated, at least in position, by Trump-endorsed primary challenger Kelly Tshibaka. We also want to see if Sarah Palin can win the Alaska special election to fill the congressional seat previously held by Don Young.
Economic nationalism is the unifying theme of MAGA.
Economic nationalism is what creates the largest populist tent in the history of republican politics.
Blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, gay, straight, all genders, all colors, all creeds, all races, all united…. because the “working-class” is the unifying element.
MAGA is the voice of the working class.
The working class is what keeps all the shit working. We are the binding within the patchwork quilt of our constitutional republic.
The working class that had been beaten, put down, isolated, disconnected from policy, ridiculed for not having pedigree, all of it, became United in MAGA.
If the search warrant affidavit was revealed to the public, the DOJ Lawfare tribe targeting Trump – within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), could not keep the benefit of selective leaks to their media stenographers. It would be more difficult to frame the narrative. [DOJ Filing pdf HERE]
On Thursday August 11th, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the justice department was committed to transparency in order to retain their integrity with the American public. On Monday August 15th, Attorney General Garland asked the court to keep the records sealed. The six-year pattern continues….
WASHINGTON DC – “If disclosed, the affidavit would serve as a roadmap to the government’s ongoing investigation, providing specific details about its direction and likely course, in a manner that is highly likely to compromise future investigative steps,” U.S. Attorney Juan Gonzalez and Justice Department counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt said in a filing urging the continued secrecy of the affidavit.
“The fact that this investigation implicates highly classified materials further underscores the need to protect the integrity of the investigation and exacerbates the potential for harm if information is disclosed to the public prematurely or improperly,” the DOJ officials wrote.
Earlier this afternoon President Donald Trump revealed yet another shocking piece of information related to the FBI’s raid of his private residence in Mar-a-Lago. Sharing in a post written on Truth Social President Trump notes, “In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!”
The unprecedented DOJ and FBI assault against President Trump continues. President Trump gave an interview to Fox News to discuss:
(Via FOX) – […] In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Monday morning, his first since the raid, Trump said he had his representatives reach out to the Justice Department to offer to help amid outrage over the FBI’s unprecedented raid on his private residence last week, in which agents seized classified records, including some marked as top secret. Trump is disputing the classification of those records, saying the records have been declassified.
“The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger, like I’ve never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one — years of scams and witch hunts, and now this,” Trump said.
