Using the references of current events, attorney and former Constitutional Law Clerk for Justice Gorsuch, Mike Davis, once again astutely and succinctly summarizes and deconstructs the nonsense within the fabricated and political DOJ case against President Trump. {Direct Rumble Link}
Mr. Davis walks through the claims and deconstructs the political arguments with citations to the constitution, lawful and applicable precedent, along with a direct hit on the motive of the DOJ and FBI effort. In three minutes, Davis nails the top-line issues soup to nuts, WATCH:
Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden are in agreement on the main midterm election issue. Their synergy leads to the current state of our political dynamic in the United States, as expressed moments ago in the official position of the Biden administration from the White House. Also, please note Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre read the sentences she just stated for the public record. WATCH:
…”The way that he sees it, the MAGA republicans are the most energized part of the republican party. Uh, that extreme, this is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights. They just don’t respect the rule of law. You heard that from the President. They are pursuing an agenda that takes away people’s rights“…
The worst aspect of this is the inability of people who are voting republican, so see that statement from the White House as in total alignment with Mitch McConnell and the professional republican political system. It’s not just the opinion of Joe Biden, the mental trap people fall into is not recognizing this anti-MAGA perspective, is the opinion held within the RNC and Republican political apparatus.
Both wings of the UniParty view President Trump’s economic nationalism and America-First agenda, as a threat to their affluence, influence and power. Both wings of the Uniparty see Trump supporters as the “extreme threat.” One wing is openly stating it, the other wing is working diligently -and deceptively- on the same agenda.
Once you accept the republican apparatus is intent on removing that threat, then you begin to see who they are constructing in the background to remove it. However, it is in the accepting of that baseline where most voters get so uncomfortable, they will deny it at all costs in order to retain their stability. And I do mean, deny it at all costs.
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard “Ric” Grenell, gives his perspective on the FBI and DOJ conduct in their effort to frame a media case against President Donald J Trump. {Direct Rumble Link}
Ambassador Grenell walks through the distinct and important difference between the DOJ media narrative, and the actual non-issues that are being manufactured to promote the narrative. WATCH:
The DOJ has filed a response to the motion by President Trump for the court to appoint a special master to review the seized material from the DOJ/FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. [Court pdf Here] Additionally, the outside government Lawfare group has filed an amicus brief supporting the DOJ-NSD position [Amici court pdf Here]
Essentially the position of the DOJ boils down to… They have already reviewed the material. Yes, there was attorney-client privilege material seized; but they swear the internal team segregated the legally confidential material and the DOJ investigators & prosecutors didn’t see it – double pinkie swear, yer honor.
Additionally, in a nice lawfare maneuver, the DOJ claims President Trump never formally evoked ‘executive privilege‘ on any material at Mar-a-Lago; therefore, despite his position as a former President, he was/is legally considered an ordinary citizen for the purpose of raiding his home to seize material the government considers vital to national security.
To complement the created DOJ narrative for media consumption, and to assist the media effort for direct distribution of the DOJ position, Main Justice released a picture as an example of the documents seized. The DOJ literally staged and created this photo for media to use, then released it in the court filing. Slick lawfare:
The cover sheets are essentially non sequitur as they do not necessarily describe or affirm the nature of the documented material underneath. “HCS-P/SI/TK” looks all officially looming; however, it doesn’t necessarily mean any of the information is classified as HCS (HUMINT Control System, or human intelligence), SI (special intelligence), or TK (talent keyhole), or SCI (Sensitive Compartmented Information), aka the silos.
One word or paragraph could be considered ‘special intelligence’. Example “FISA” or “FISC”. You might remember our prior discussions that every document that contains the designation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, FISA or FISC, literally those words or abbreviations, is considered classified special intelligence.
Absent of anything else going on, this memo would seem innocuous. However, when you consider that at least 20 FBI whistleblowers from the FBI have approached both the house and senate in the past several weeks, this memo takes on a new meaning.
According to the memo sent internally by AG Merrick Garland, he is reminding everyone in the DOJ/FBI about the restrictions against talking to congress. [SOURCE]
The internal citations take you to Justice Manual, Section 1, Title 800: “Congressional and White House Relations” [LINK]
1-8.200 “Except as provided in this chapter, no Department employee may communicate with Senators, Representatives, congressional committees, or congressional staff without advance coordination, consultation, and approval by the Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA). All congressional inquiries and correspondence from Members, committees, and staff should be immediately directed to OLA upon receipt.” [LINK]
Make of the timing what you will; however, if you have followed the political corruption within Main Justice and the FBI, the intent of the memo seems pretty clear. A warning to those who might consider trying to escape the clutches of a comprehensively corrupt institution. Or as Senator Chuck Grassley recently stated:
During his opening monologue tonight, Tucker Carlson becomes the first mainstream pundit to point out the lies in the central bank argument.
The federal reserve and EU central banks claim they are raising interest rates to stop inflation by slowing demand. A demand side approach. However, it isn’t demand driving inflation; it’s the cost of energy driving inflation. That’s a supply side issue.
The central banks cannot admit what they are doing, or people would catch on. They are intentionally reducing economic activity in order to support having scarce energy production. WATCH:
Here we go… It was only a matter of time before the DOJ-NSD architects of the Trump targeting operation came out from the shadows. This is the moment long-time readers of CTH should have been waiting for. For the past five years Mary McCord has been one of a small and select lawfare group organizing the targeting of President Trump.
Mary McCord led the support team who created the Carter Page FISA warrant using the Steele Dossier to replace the required ‘Wood’s file’. McCord was the DOJ-NSD official who traveled with DOJ Deputy AG Sally Yates to talk to former White House counsel Don McGhan which weaponized the Flynn-Kislyak call to remove Trump’s National Security Advisor.
Mary McCord was the person who organized Alexander Vindman and Eric Ciaramella to construct the first impeachment effort. Additionally, it was Mary McCord along with her former legal counsel, turned Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson, who changed the ICIG whistleblower rules allowing an anonymous complaint to underpin the false accusations from Ciaramella against Trump.
It was also Mary McCord who was appointed by FISA court Judge James Boasberg as an amici curia to the court, intercepting issues of false information in filings from the DOJ-NSD to the court as constructed by Kevin Clinesmith.
It was Mary McCord who then took up the lead congressional position within the impeachment construct created by Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, and it was Mary McCord who then joined the January 6 Committee in the committee fight to obtain President Trump’s white house records.
Mary McCord surfaces today with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos to outline what her team has currently constructed, including the specific targeting approaches her DOJ-NSD and Lawfare crew have put together.
As noted by McCord, the ‘obstruction of justice’ angle is a repeat of the threat used by the Deep State to keep the criminal conduct of the DOJ-NSD from being exposed. WATCH:
When the Carter Page FISA application was originally assembled by the FBI and DOJ, there was initial hesitancy from within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) about submitting the application, because it did not have enough citations in evidence (the infamous ‘Woods File’). That’s why the Steele Dossier ultimately became important. It was the Steele Dossier that provided the push, the legal cover needed for the DOJ-NSD to submit the application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against the campaign of Donald J. Trump.
“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.” ~ Niccolò Machiavelli
ABC’s Director of narrative engineering, George Stephanopoulos, interviews Senator Roy Blunt (U-Mo) to elicit his rebuke of President Trump having custody of evidence showing how the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government conspired to him from impacting their corrupt DC interests.
Senator Blunt dutifully played the role of ‘lukewarm defender,’ aka controlled opposition. WATCH:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich knows a thing or ten about the DC Deep State, and he appeared on television with Mark Levin to deliver a stark opinion about the current course of action by a comprehensively corrupt and politicized DOJ and FBI. {Direct Rumble Link}
From the perspective of Mr. Gingrich the institutional system within Washington DC is “playing for keeps” with “no interest in the law,” in their effort to keep Donald Trump from challenging the corrupt system now controlling the U.S. government. Unfortunately, I agree with the prediction. WATCH:
.
As soon as the Washington DC FBI sent agents to Florida, everything changed. If you stand back and look at national political events from an objective perspective, the connections between the executive agencies and the national political apparatus start taking on a new clarity.
Additionally, when you overlay the tepid initial response from a newly managed Florida Governor, then look at his national rollout, you can see a specifically constructed series of events intended to give an alternative for the MAGA outrage vote.
U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon has issued a two-page order [SEE HERE] indicating her willingness to appoint a special master to review the documents seized by the DOJ in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Judge Cannon has asked the Justice Department to produce by Tuesday “a more detailed” list of items seized from Trump’s residence on Aug. 8 as well as the status of the government’s ongoing review of those materials, which includes the use of a “filter team” to screen for attorney-client privileged records.
