Despite the obvious instructions to the FBI, Attorney General Merrick Garland previously gave testimony before congress denying that parents who attended school board meetings were being targeted by an FBI Counterterrorism task force. However, today the House Judiciary Committee has received a ‘whistleblower complaint’ showing the FBI is indeed using the Counterterrorism Division as the tool to target parents. [Document Source]
The day before AG Merrick Garland testified to congress, the FBI instructed all national heads of the Counterterrorism Division to begin using internal tags to create a notification list containing the names of parents they considered to be domestic extremists.
The Scottsdale Unified School District in Arizona was scrambling after a group of moms discovered that Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg was keeping secret surveillance files, a dossier of sorts, on parents and students the school board head viewed as a risk to the interests of the district.
In essence what the parents discovered was evidence their own school system was keeping creepy opposition files on the parents of students in the school district.
Parents gathered today to demand the removal of the Governing Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg, and the destruction of the Google Drive files filled with personal information, documents, and photos of about 47 people, including children.
Creepy Mr. Greenburg was removed, but not fired.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Jann-Michael Greenburg has been ousted as the Scottsdale Unified School Board president following controversy over a dossier of information he is accused of keeping on parents who were openly critical of the district.
The board voted 4-1 Monday evening to elect board member Patty Beckman to replace Greenburg as the president for the remainder of his term. Board members Zach Lindsay and Libby Hart-Wells called for Greenburg’s resignation, but Greenburg did not resign. Greenburg is still a member of the board, although stripped of the title of president. (read more)
Former President Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon appeared in court today on ridiculous misdemeanor criminal charges arising from his defiance of a political inquiry from the congressional Jan 6 committee. Following his court appearance Steve Bannon spoke to the media.
Steve Bannon promises to go on offense and challenge the administrative state over this case. WATCH (prompted 03:08):
We begin any outline of the Durham investigation with the following disclaimer: How is John Durham going to reveal everything that is possible about the deep state Trump targeting operation, and simultaneously handle the involvement of Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann and the Special Counsel team who were specifically appointed to cover it up.
Kash Patel, former Pentagon Chief of Staff, and former Senior Staff Advisor to the House Intelligence Committee, discusses the recent public developments within the John Durham investigation, and gives his opinion on possible targets who were operating inside government.
Patel holds the opinion that Joe Biden’s current National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is a likely target. Patel also says he could see three former FBI officials as targets of the Durham probe: (1) former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe; (2) former FBI Special Agent in the Counterintelligence Division, Peter Strzok; and (3) former DOJ legal counsel to Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page.
Patel frames his opinion that Andrew McCabe would be targeted from the perspective that McCabe likely told FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith to change the wording of an email in order to support the Carter Page FISA application renewal. Clinesmith plead guilty and was sentenced to six months probation; however, in the court filings and affidavits, Clinesmith said under oath he acted alone – so I’m not sure why Patel is confident about Andrew McCabe being at risk from Clinesmith.

Everyone is rightly frustrated by the lack of legal accountability upon the primary government officials and politicians who participated in the political use of their agencies to target Donald Trump. However, it is important to keep in mind the biggest network who participated in Spygate from inside government was the Robert Mueller Special Counsel team.
It is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to have an optimistic outlook toward accountability until someone -anyone- can reconcile how John Durham can target former government officials and yet avoid the scale of the Special Counsel efforts that were deployed to cover it up. The 2016 DOJ/FBI Crossfire Hurricane operation to the 2017 DOJ/FBI Special Counsel is one long continuum of the same exact corrupt investigation; done for the exact same corrupt intents; and carried out by the same people.
There is no way John Durham is going to touch the Special Counsel investigation of Robert Mueller; and until someone can provide a reasonable discussion of how Durham can deal with the Robert Mueller investigation and yet target former government officials -who were protected by Mueller- everything regarding future indictments of bigger fish is essentially hope porn.
One thing CTH does is to look at proposed leftist advancements through the prism of previously blocked moves. The Joe Biden nomination of avowed communist Saule Omarova to the Treasury Department Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) should be considered in a similar perspective.
There’s a couple of different issues surfacing in the Omarova nomination. Obviously, she is aligned with the view that controlling money is another way to control the behavior of businesses and people; Omarova’s previous statements {Go Deep} about intentionally bankrupting oil and gas companies is indicative of the former – and the most recent statements are aligned with the latter. WATCH:
.
Obviously, Saule Omarova is interested in the concept of an all controlling central bank that would eliminate the need for private banking interests. As she states, “There will be no more private bank deposit accounts, and all of the deposit accounts will be held directly at the fed.” The basic premise is that all employers would funnel their payrolls into a centralized federal depository, where they would be then be taxed and re-distributed, electronically, to the workers.
One central bank, owned and operated by the federal government, would replace all the purposes within the private banking system. Given her upbringing in the former Soviet Union, and considering her education at the University of Moscow, perhaps this outlook shouldn’t be surprising. However, her nomination alone should be viewed as astonishing.
♦ Big Picture – The COVID Passport concept, now currently deployed in Europe and Australia, then becomes the vector for entry into a digital identification process. At the end of that digital ID process is a centralized database, which, not coincidentally, directly aligns with the capability of the U.S. federal government to trigger what Omarova is advocating in that video – a centralized system to control all financial deposits and transactions through the digital ID previously created.
It doesn’t take a deep thinker to see how the federal government would eventually respond to having that much power over the financial accounts of Americans. Cue the visual reference:
More people are awakening to the uncomfortable reality that the FBI is a domestic enforcement mechanism for the Fourth Branch of Government. The most recent awakening is being driven by the brazen FBI raid on Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe with the intent to leak the information to their allies at the New York Times.
Make no mistake, this is one long continuum of FBI activity that is only growing increasingly more obvious as they consider themselves unaccountable to anyone except their own ideological interests. Who is the check in the U.S. justice system to provide oversight over the FBI? The uncomfortable answer is no one.
Remember, the oft reported relationships surrounding the divisions within the Fourth Branch: ♦The CIA uses The Washington Post. ♦The State Dept uses CNN, and ♦the FBI uses The New York Times.
James O’Keefe is currently in a lawsuit against The New York Times. The FBI raids the home of O’Keefe and then passes along the confidential communication between Project Veritas and their legal team to the New York Times. With a large audience, Tim Poole is realizing what CTH readers have been discussing for a decade:

Absolute power ends with absolute corruption. The day after Christopher Steele appeared on ABC news to construct the defensive position against the information later released in an indictment by John Durham of ‘Trump-Russia’ conspiracy promoter Igor Danchenko. The very next day, the FBI raids the home of Oleg Deripaska.
Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska was the former employer of Christopher Steele {Go Deep}. The timing of the raid was transparently political. George Stephanopoulos interviewed Steele, because the Clinton operation in 2016 was at risk. Stephanopoulos’s interview was risk mitigation. Deripaska’s raid the next day was cover.
The FBI raid on O’Keefe was done for the same ideological purpose as the raid on Deripaska. This is all one long continuum. All of this is coordinated by political operatives using the DOJ and FBI as their enforcement mechanism.
The three judge panel upheld its previous decision to put a stay on the order by Joe Biden against companies with 100 workers or more. The Biden administration had instructed the Department of Labor to require COVID-19 vaccines. The Biden administration’s effort to use an Emergency Temporary Standard OHSA rule was rejected by the court citing numerous flaws in their review and ruling:
John Durham is providing evidence {Go Deep} showing how the “Trump-Russia” collusion story was created by Hillary Clinton and Democrat operatives like Dan Jones, Charles Dolan, Glenn Simpson and contracted operatives within Fusion-GPS; who then laundered their fake stories to Christopher Steele and his source Igor Danchenko for distribution to the FBI; and who then leaked the information to awaiting allies in the media. Those same media recipients are now scrubbing their participation:
It’s an issue within the Trump operation that we have highlighted for years {Go Deep}. The media reports on media reports of media reports. Now, the collective system of the Washington Post writing about a New York Times article that is based on CNN reporting (using anonymous planted leaks from the DOJ/FBI) starts to collapse in reverse. CNN does a stealth deletion, causing the New York Times to stealth edit, creating a need for the Washington Post to rewrite their participation.
We asked years ago: “Think about a New York Times, CNN or Washington Post journalist now having to accept that every column inch they have written in the past [four years] was built upon a foundation of lies. Do we really think such a catastrophic level of flawed ideology could ever reconstitute into genuine reporting of fact-based information?” Of course not.
These guys are so corrupt, and they participated so completely in the willful distribution of false information, they are beyond redemption. They don’t even attempt to apologize, admit their errors or accept responsibility. Instead, they just start deleting the trail of their involvement. Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along.
Over a year ago, CBS News journalist Catherine Herridge obtained a 94-page spread sheet (pdf here) showing dates of media reports, dates of Steele reports on the same material, and the FBI effort to verify or validate the circular process in their investigation.
The Cheney family, writ large, are a big part of the disturbing underbelly of U.S. politics who maintain a very corrupt system. Congressional Representative Liz Cheney (Wyoming) has learned the dark arts of DeceptiCon politics through her family connection and influence.
In the latest deployment of her black-art politics, Liz Cheney has used her position as a J6 committee member to subpoena Bill Stepien, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager {link}. Bill Stepien is also the current political advisor/campaign manager of Wyoming congressional candidate Harriet Hageman {website here} President Trump has endorsed Harriet Hageman in the quest to unseat and remove Liz Cheney in the GOP Primary {link}.
In essence, Liz Cheney is using her Pelosi-aligned position on the J6 Committee to target her opponent in the GOP primary. Retaining power at all costs is just the way the swamp works. From the perspective of Cheney Inc., the MAGA base is just a bunch of rubes that need to be ruled and occasionally culled.
In essence what the parents discovered was evidence their own school system was keeping creepy
