Heavy news day.  Lots to cover and much more will come including an update on Durham and Aldenberg now investigating the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).

Starting the day, here is a message from President Trump updating on the status of the United States military.  President Trump doesn’t message without purpose, he has keen political instincts; perhaps the best ever…

The Washington Free Beacon has done a great job exposing the intentional and manipulative intents of NBC and Lester Holt during a recent town-hall event with presidential candidate Joe Biden.  At this point American media have become Pravda in their efforts to manipulate the outcome of the 2020 election. Video Recap Below:

.

Essentially what NBC did was present a pre-vetted pro-Biden audience to masquerade as independent or ‘swing voters’, and then roll-out a highly coordinated TV event as if it was occurring without a script.  The problem for NBC is their brazen hubris, because the people they used in the audience as voters previously appeared on sister network MSNBC.

President Donald Trump has transmitted an epic tweet-storm seemingly targeted toward all officials within the executive branch; and the intelligence apparatus writ large:

One important note of caution: there is a big difference between “authorized” and “ordered”.  On May 23rd, 2019, President Trump authorized AG Bill Barr to declassify all documents and despite much optimism nothing happened {Go DEEP}.  However, President Trump references that lack of inaction in the next series of tweets:

Presumably “people” who “acted very slowly” would pertain to AG Bill Barr, FBI Director Chris Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel, State Dept Secretary Mike Pompeo and former ODNI Dan Coats.   President Trump asks those agencies now to “Act!!!”

CTH is delayed in analysis of this story because we are a stickler for source document origination. For some unknown reason the originating document source is identified as ODNI, yet the documents themselves are not officially released.  That is not comforting, and points toward controlled messaging.

According to reports today, most citations returning to [Federalist and Fox News], the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, has released the background documents (pertaining to an earlier declassification of documents) showing handwritten notes by CIA Director John Brennan briefing the White House and the CIA referral to the FBI -of Clinton coordinating the Trump-Russia narrative- for operation Crossfire Hurricane.

The two releases today would be connected to the earlier release (red boxes) to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Without an official originating source for the handwritten notes I am cautious to expand discussion.  The Federalist and Fox News appear to have received the notes.

The notes would pertain to a July 26, 2016, discussion between CIA Director John Brennan and an advisor to Hillary Clinton.  That discussion subsequently led Brennan to brief President Obama, Denis McDonough, Susan Rice and possibly James Comey on July 28, 2016, as noted by Brennan himself in a recent op-ed.

Representative Jim Jordan and Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo discuss the latest information, releases and investigations within the overall “Spygate” dynamic.

.

Earlier today Maria Bartiromo sent out a tweet indicating significant declassification is about to be released.  Now, let me put the dots together….

We know to a demonstrable certainty that Mark Meadows was the majority source of information fed to John Solomon while Meadows was in congress.  Meadows was Solomon’s primary source for almost all of his reporting.  We also know that Meadows kicked-off a stink recently with his “off-record” commentary creating a narrative that President Trump was much more ill than admitted by White House.

Additionally, Mark Meadows recently said that President Trump was reviewing and declassifying information while he was in Walter Reed medical facility.   Put it all together and I will wager you a considerable sum that Mark Meadows is now Bartiromo’s source.
