A very strategic plan for Main Justice transition delivered today by President Trump.  President Trump has announced Deputy AG Todd Blanche to be #2 in charge behind Matt Gaetz, and Emil Bove to serve as interim Acting DAG in case the Senate drag their feet on confirmations.  This makes a very quick transition period in Main Justice with President Trump officials immediately taking charge.

President Trump announces via Truth Social, his intent to nominate former ODNI official John Ratcliffe to the position of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

[Source]

Former DNI Ratcliffe passed through the Senate Intel Committee nomination process in 2019 after being blocked by Mitch McConnell in 2018.  With a prior SSCI confirmation being successful, the path to confirming John Ratcliffe as CIA Director is essentially a foregone conclusion.

As CIA Director, John Ratcliffe will control the world’s second-most powerful intelligence agency. Ratcliffe has almost no attack vectors for the internal IC apparatus to use against him, that’s why I previously thought a role in the Trump-2 intel system would be good.

Ratcliffe was/is the lead transition team member on all things related to Intelligence.  Prior rumor put him in the NatSec Advisor role, but CIA Director is a good fit.  John Ratcliffe is very stable, vanilla, no drama and can be expected to deliver on the priorities of the Trump administration.  He will work very well with the White House.

The concern would be Ratcliffe’s ability to remove the corrupt players within the darkest part of the darkest IC system.

Recess appointments have been a general source of contention for those of us in the deep weeds who did not like Republican Leader Mitch McConnell keeping the upper chamber for four straight years 2018 through 2020, when the Republicans eventually lost their majority.

Now that the Senate has flipped back into Republican control, President Trump is proactively looking to confront the “recess appointment” issue withing the current Republican leadership contest. [Truth Social]

A recess appointment is an appointment, by the President of the United States, of a senior federal official to fill a vacant position while the United States Senate is in recess.

Recess appointments are authorized by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which states: “The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.”

President Trump has announced on Truth Social there will be no position for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley or Former CIA Director and Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, in the next administration.

♦ Nikki Haley directly blamed President Trump for the violent events during January 6, 2021, and said, “I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

Haley cares about one thing, her own position and power – that’s it.  She really is the worst type of politician you can fathom.   [SEE RESEARCH HERE] Nikki Haley was supported and funded by infamous CIA Acting Director Mike Morell.  Haley was a tool of the “six ways from Sunday” group.

♦ Mike Pompeo used his position of influence to install Senator Dan Coats as Director of National Intelligence during the first administration, with the mission objective to hamstring President Trump and ensure the “six ways from Sunday” group could lead the internal attacks.

Responding to reporters’ questions, today President of the European Union commission Ursula von der Leyen congratulated Donald Trump then immediately began the framework to explain EU background discussions in economic terms. “We still get a lot of [liquified natural gas] from Russia, and why not replace it by American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices,” said Ursula von der Leyen.

The EU realizes the seismic shift that is upon them as a result of the U.S. election.  Everything from the Ukraine-Russia war; the economics of energy which President Trump will use in negotiations for peace; to the factual lowered prices within the EU created by Joe Biden energy policy to punish Americans; to funding for NATO in combination with the potential for the end of the Marshal Plan one-way tariffs are looming.  President von der Leyen is in a very precarious position.

.

Ursula was speaking from ¹Budapest, Hungary.

While many are interpreting her remarks about purchasing LNG to be snuggling up to President Trump, factually it is a much bigger problem than western media will openly discuss.

On January 17, 2017, just three days before President-Trump was sworn into office, outgoing President Obama had a secret conference call with progressive media allies.

A long battled FOIA request by Jason Leopold was finally able to receive documents and within the documents the transcript of the phone call is revealed. [Documents Here]

Again, this is three days before Trump took office, when the Obama White House and Intelligence Community were intentionally pushing the Trump-Russia conspiracy story into the media in an effort to disrupt President Trump’s transition to power.  President Obama is essentially asking his progressive allies to help defend his administration. Part of the 20-page transcript is below: 

Barack Obama – […] “I think the Russia thing is a problem. And it’s of a piece with this broader lack of transparency. It is hard to know what conversations the President-elect may be having offline with business leaders in other countries who are also connected to leaders of other countries. And I’m not saying there’s anything I know for a fact or can prove, but it does mean that — here’s the one thing you guys have been able to know unequivocally during the last eight years, and that is that whether you disagree with me on policy or not, there was never a time in which my relationship with a foreign entity might shade how I viewed an issue. And that’s — I don’t know a precedent for that exactly.

Now, the good news there, I will say, is just that there’s a lot of career folks here who care about that stuff, and not just in the intelligence agencies. I think in our military, in our State Department. And I think that to the extent that things start getting weird, I think you will see surfacing objections, some through whistleblowers and some through others. And so I think there is some policing mechanism there, but that’s unprecedented.

And then the final thing that I’m most worried about is just preserving the democratic process so that in two years, four years, six years, if people are dissatisfied, that dissatisfaction expresses itself. So Jeff Sessions and the Justice Department and what’s happening with the voting rights division and the civil rights division, and — those basic process issues that allow for the democratic process to work. I’d include in that, by the way, press. I think you guys are all on top of how disconcerting — you guys complain about us — (laughter) — but let me just tell you, I think — we actually respected you guys and cared about trying to explain ourselves to you in a way that I think is just going to be different.

On balance, that leads to me to say I think that four years is okay. Take on some water, but we can kind of bail fast enough to be okay. Eight years would be a problem. I would be concerned about a sustained period in which some of these norms have broken down and started to corrode.

Q Could you talk a bit more about the Russia thing? Because it sounds like you, who knows more than we do from what you’ve seen, and is genuinely —

One of the issues highlighting internal political corruption of the FBI was always the absence of “whistleblowers” amid the rank-and-vile.  Indeed, there were a total of more than 40 FBI agents assigned to the Trump-Russia investigation; they all knew there was never any basis for the investigation itself.  They said nothing.

Well, apparently today, the Washington Times is reporting that an FBI whistleblower has recently come to congress to inform them that back in 2015 and 2016 then FBI Director James Comey triggered an off-the-books assignment for the FBI to infiltrate the Trump campaign.

As the story is told, in 2015 Director Comey told the FBI to send two female undercover informants into the Trump campaign to conduct surveillance and dig up information for use against him.

You can read the story here.

Let me cut to the chase.  We already knew all of this, even without FBI whistleblower confirmation.  Six years ago, we wrote about it exhaustively.

The Washington Times doesn’t give details, but we can.  The two women were FBI Agent Azra Turk, and FBI Counterintelligence operative Maria Butina.

FBI Agent Azra Turk (fake name) was given the FBI cover story of being a research assistant to Stefan Halper.  Ms Turk, described now as a “honey pot” was tasked against George Papadopoulos [target name Crossfire Typoon].  I tracked her down; I know her real name; she’s not that good looking.

I’m going to skip most of the nonsense about the “Raskin Letter” [SEE HERE] to focus on the part that few will notice or report.

The process that Jamie Raskin is angry about, is a transition process that was created by Barack Obama and his GSA administrative state allies, to control all aspects of an incoming administration in opposition to the system that Obama created.  This was the reinforcement cement in the “fundamental change” pillar.

The “transition process” that Raskin talks about was created in 2010.  The only presidential transitions that have taken place since then were Trump in ’16 and Biden in ’20.  That’s it.  This is not a historically used process.  In fact, Barack Obama never used it in 2009 when he came into office, because it never existed.

President Trump’s planned 2025 transition team are simply refusing to repeat the mistakes of the 2017 transition process that ended up with the GSA willfully impeding the peaceful transition of power, by targeting the incoming administration.  Lastly, notice the pesky IC term in the 3rd paragraph, “continuity” – as in the continuity of leftist government.

[SOURCE pdf]

(Via NBC) – The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, is sounding the alarm over former President Donald Trump’s failure to enter into key agreements with the Biden administration for the presidential transition process, warning that it could endanger the peaceful transfer of power and threaten U.S. national security.
