John Brennan and James Clapper, two of the most powerful men in America had deep seated reservations regarding the election of Donald J Trump as President of the United States of America. Or, to be more precise, their vision for the United States of America. Reservations that were shared by FBI Director James Comey Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstien and several dozen other senior administrative level employees of the CIA, NSA, FBI and DOJ.
These reservations were not predicated upon Donald Trump being an agent of some foreign country, but upon his not being in step with the policy agenda of America’s liberal far left. Trump had not sworn fidelity to the Deep States political agenda. That was Donald J Trump’s fatal transgression.
I can think of no more appropriate description of what these senior Obama Administration level individuals did, than this quote by Christian Conservative apologist C.S Lewis:
““Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” ”
It’s Time To Admit The Russia Investigation Was Illegitimate From The Start
I Was Once In Group Three, Too
For two years, I teetered between that third contingent and utter disinterest. But then we learned that the DOJ intentionally failed to inform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court that the Democratic National Committee had paid for the Christopher Steele dossier. That unverified and mainly false dossier formed a significant part of the government’s application for a wiretap for former Trump aide Page.
This admission changed everything for me: I had spent nearly 25 years reviewing challenges to warrants based on claims of withheld (or false) evidence. However, unlike the typical criminal case in which a defendant later has access to the warrant application, in the case of a FISA court order, the target cannot view the information the government used to obtain a wiretap, making FISA court proceedings ripe for abuse.
My rule of law alarms went off. Trump’s criticism of the Russia collusion investigation no longer sounded staged, and he no longer seemed paranoid. Then the revelations kept coming, as did leaks intended to harm Trump, change the narrative, or soften soon-to-be released news of other misconduct.
Meanwhile, what was not forthcoming was the information Congress requested, and when it belatedly arrived it was heavily redacted to protect “national security.” Then later releases revealed the national security excuse didn’t hold. So while claims that the FBI properly inquired of connections between the Trump campaign and Russia were valid to a point, that point has long since passed.
Was there good faith in the beginning? Did political appointees and career agents rightfully pursue leads to see if something was there? Or was the investigation always an insurance policy?
I don’t know. What I do know, though, is that there is a convincing mosaic of evidence that the FBI, CIA, National Security Agency, and DOJ acted with improper motives—some related to the Obama administration’s general modus operandi, and some specific to Crossfire Hurricane.
Day by day, hour by hour the evidence continues to pile up. Senior Obama administration officials within the CIA, NSA, FBI and DOJ conspired to engage in a 18 US Code Sections 2384 & 2385 Coup d’état against a lawfully elected President of the United States of America. These individuals believe themselves to be patriots, they ardently believe that Donald Trump presents a clear and present danger to the United States of America because unlike their chosen Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Trump is not a known quantity or a “Policy Wonk”.
They believe that President Trump is a brash, undisciplined bully who will endanger America through his lack of government and foreign policy experience. It is for this reason, and not anything else that they elected to intervene and attempt to alter the outcome of the 2016 Presidential election in favor of Hillary Clinton, and when that failed, to find just cause to prosecute and have removed from office President Donald J Trump.
BREAKING: E-mails Show FBI Brass Discussed Dossier Briefing Details With CNN
Newly revealed e-mails show that former Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI) deputy director Andrew McCabe was keenly aware of CNN’s internal understanding of a secret briefing about the infamous Steele dossier, days before CNN published any stories on the matter. The e-mails, which were obtained by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), also reveal that top officials used coded language to refer to the salacious and unverified allegations made by Steele.
Former FBI director James Comey briefed then-President-Elect Donald Trump on January 6, 2017, on at least one unproven allegation contained in Steele’s dossier, which was jointly funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. CNN broke the story about the dossier briefing on January 10, 2017, touching off a firestorm of hysteria that culminated in not just the firing of Comey by Trump, but the eventual appointment of Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Robert Mueller.
Comey claimed that he was compelled to brief Trump on the dossier because “CNN had [it]” and was “looking for a news hook.”
Hours before Comey briefed Trump, FBI chief of staff James Rybicki e-mailed staff that Comey “is coming into HQ briefly now for an update from the sensitive matter team.” Just as the same officials dubbed the Clinton e-mail investigation the “mid-year exam” and the anti-Trump counterintelligence investigation “Crossfire Hurricane,” they also used various phrases using “sensitive” to refer obliquely to the dossier.
Two days after the briefing, on January 8, 2017, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, who earlier this year was fired and then referred for criminal prosecution by the DOJ inspector general for repeatedly lying about media leaks, wrote an e-mail to top FBI officials with the subject, “Flood is coming.”
The FBI’s former director J Edgar Hoover has been lambasted for his unprecedented abuse of federal authority for decades, yet, what is coming to light with regard to the 2016 presidential election is a series of mendacious malfeasance that makes J Edgar Hoover past transgressions seem almost patriotic and noble. Nixon’s Watergate scandal, by comparison was the work of kindergarten children getting caught stealing graham crackers while the teacher was out of the room.
FBI Scandal: Deep State Corruption Of FBI, Justice Was There From Very Start Of Hillary Email Probe
Deep State: Were the Justice Department and FBI corrupted by their efforts to protect Hillary Clinton and her future chances at the presidency? Recent revelations suggest the answer is an unqualified yes, and now those who cooperated may soon feel the law’s sting for doing so.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe may be the worst off. In addition to possible charges for lying under oath for denying that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal (in large part dfto answer swirling rumors in the journalistic community), it’s alleged that he ordered FBI agents working on the Clinton Foundation investigation to stand down.
Now, evidence suggests he told the FBI’s Washington field office to also “stand down” from its investigation of Clinton’s private-email server. That investigation followed a New York Times piece that appeared in 2015, detailing Hillary Clinton’s possible illegal use of an unsecured, home-brew email server for her official business as secretary of state. It appears to be a clear violation of the law.
“Multiple former FBI officials, along with a Congressional official, say that while there may have been internal squabbling over the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation at the time, there was allegedly another ‘stand-down’ order by McCabe regarding the opening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of her private email for official government business,” wrote independent journalist Sarah Carter.
That’s two stand-down orders, if you’re counting, that McCabe made. That he would intervene twice on behalf of Clinton suggests not an abundance of caution but that he had political qualms rather than merely procedural ones.
It’s a troubling question of political interference that that could deeply taint the FBI for years to come, and make doing its job all the much harder, particularly if it’s viewed as a politically-biased agency by a major part of the country.
But former FBI chief James Comey isn’t far behind McCabe.
Comey opposed the idea of a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton’s egregious misuse of her email system — which, intelligence experts say, likely exposed U.S. classified material to both the Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies — despite substantial evidence of a crime.
Why? Because, he wrote, the main reason for appointing a special counsel would have been because there were serious questions about then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s ability to be unbiased — especially after the unplanned, unrecorded and highly curious half-hour meeting she had with Bill Clinton while sitting in a jet plane at the Phoenix airport.
Comey, ever chivalrous, said naming a special counsel “would have been unfair to Hillary Clinton.”
But, as Aaron Klein of Breitbart news writes, “Comey, however hand no problem taking actions to ensure a special prosecutor in the case of Donald Trump and unsubstantiated claims of Russian collusion based in part on charges made inside a largely-discredited dossier financed by Clinton”s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.”
Having failed to get Hillary Clinton elected, these Deep State thugs began a program described in an email between Pete Strzok and Lisa Page, as their “Insurance Policy”. A program designed to first cripple and then to eventually remove President Donald Trump from office. Just how deep the rabbit hole goes is yet to be discovered, and given the corrupt investment by America’s Mainstream Media in protecting both Barack Obama and his administrations senior level officials and Hillary Clinton, it is difficult to say if we will ever learn exactly how deep that rabbit hole is.
Spying On Trump: Was Obama Behind CIA, FBI Plan To Elect Hillary?
Political Spying: As Robert Mueller’s chimerical Russia-Trump collusion probe grinds on, a real possible crime has been revealed: the collusion between the Justice Department, the FBI, the Clinton campaign and, possibly, the Obama administration, to plant a spy in the Trump campaign.
If so, as some say, it’s bigger than Watergate.
The spy’s name is Stefan Halper, a professor at Cambridge University who has high-level ties to both U.S. and British intelligence, as Daily Caller New Foundation investigative reporter Chuck Ross discovered.
The revelation made Trump livid, and rightly so, as his tweet on Sunday afternoon plainly showed: “I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the (FBI and Department of Justice) infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political purposes — and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!”
Both the New York Times and Washington Post knew the professor’s name, but coyly decided not to reveal it, citing intelligence officials’ warnings that to do so would might endanger him or other intelligence contacts.
The Daily Caller’s Ross, using Google and the copious information about the “informant” in the Times and Post pieces, was easily able to identify Halper.
The debate over semantics of how to refer to Halper is amusing, but serious. Trump-hating mainstream media, echoing the FBI’s and Justice Department’s preferred term, call Halper an “informant,” not a “spy.”
Why? Because, if it turns out that putting a spy into Trump’s presidential campaign was actually political rather than for national security, it would be plainly illegal. A lot of people could have careers ruined or go to prison.
The FBI, it was reported last week, even had a name for the larger program of spying on the Trump campaign: “Operation Crossfire Hurricane,” cribbed from the Rolling Stones hit “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” As part of this, now we know they had at least one spy in the Trump campaign.
As the New York Times reported, the project began in earnest in August 2016 “after the CIA director at the time, John O. Brennan, shared intelligence with Mr. (James) Comey showing that the Russian government was behind an attack on the 2016 presidential election. Intelligence agencies began collaborating to investigate that operation. The Crossfire Hurricane team was part of that group but largely operated independently, three officials said.”
Despite repeated denials, the CIA and FBI were using Russian meddling in the election as an excuse to have Halper spy on the Trump campaign. A long-time CIA asset who worked for the Nixon administration, Halper was the son-in-law of former CIA Deputy Director Ray Cline, and still directs the Cambridge Security Initiative, a “non-profit” intelligence consultancy that Ross noted “lists ‘UK and US government agencies’ among its clients.”
Over the last few years, the phrase “Fake News” has found its way into the public lexicon, much to the annoyance of the Mainstream Media. While the Media likes to pretend that it is a Trumpism that has no basis in reality, the fact is that it has been in the mind of 3/4th of the American population since Dan Rather’s infamous “Fake but Accurate” scandal which cost him his career. It was reinforced just a few years later when Brain Williams was awarded the title “Lyin Brian” for the exact same offense.
For decades the Mainstream Media has attempted to convince mainstream America that there is no liberal bias in the media. This despite numerous well documented scholarly articles, studies and reports which uncategorically prove the exact opposite. Moreover, polling by Gallup has clearly proven that this undisguised bias has had as a consequence a unprecedented decrease in trust of the Mainstream Media by mainstream America. The Mainstream Media’s response rather than being that of working to eliminate the bias that has destroyed their reputations and the profitability of their businesses, has been to double down not only on the denials of liberal bias, but on the viciousness of their attacks on those on the right side of the political aisle.
Defending spies in the Trump campaign is the height of liberal hypocrisy
It has been said that if you live long enough, you will see everything. I’m experiencing that feeling as I watch the New York Times and Washington Post abandon their ultra-liberal leanings to defend government spying on innocent American citizens.
The case shows Trump Derangement Syndrome in action as it turns two of the nation’s prominent newspapers into the type of organizations they spent 50 years attacking.
By switching sides, they become the bell cows of a Deep State Media that, in another era, would have shielded Sen. Joseph McCarthy. And so the famous question Army lawyer Joseph Welch asked the scurrilous McCarthy should now be directed at them: “At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”
This latest version of media madness involves the confirmation that the FBI and perhaps the CIA sent a spy — or maybe two spies — to see whether Donald Trump’s associates were in cahoots with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
The spying is an event of enormous consequences, with no known precedent in American history, because it catches the incumbent party targeting the candidate of the opposition party. Even Richard Nixon didn’t weaponize law enforcement and intelligence agencies to this extent.
Additionally, the timing of the spying effort matters because it began before the FBI says it started its counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign. So was that official July start date another James Comey lie?
Then there’s John Brennan, Barack Obama’s last CIA chief, who is calling attention to himself with Twitter threats against Trump and any others who pursue the matter. His panic is not pretty, but it is instructive.
On its face alone, the spying destroys any possibility that the Obama administration played it straight during the 2016 election. The only questions now are how wide and how high did the cancer spread.
Yet instead of denouncing the malignant invasions of privacy, as they did when President George W. Bush spied on foreign terrorists, the Deep State papers are rushing to defend domestic snooping. They split semantic hairs, calling the spy an “informant” or a “source” in a silly bid to give him a sheen of respectability.
Media insist: FBI’s source on Trump was an ‘informant,’ not a ‘spy’
News reports have revealed the identity of a Cambridge University professor who fed information about the Trump campaign to the FBI but the national media have consistently declined to characterize the activity as spying, and are actively rejecting President Trump’s push to call it spying.
“A lot of people are saying they had spies in my campaign,” President Trump told reporters Tuesday at the White House. “If they had spies in my campaign that would be a disgrace to this country.” He added that it “would be one of the biggest insults anyone has ever seen” if it were confirmed that spies working under the Obama administration had infiltrated his campaign, which he described as “very illegal.”
The Washington Post’s report on those comments said Trump was making a reference to a “confidential source” who the FBI used to “aid its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.” But the story disputed Trump’s suggestion that the FBI may have secretly spied on his campaign, and said there’s “no evidence to suggest that the source was inserted into the Trump campaign…”
The story instead chose to describe the informant as someone who “did engage in a pattern of seeking out and meeting Trump campaign advisers.”
The Liberal Mainstream Media, just as their liberal brother’s in Arms the Liberal Deep State both hold the same contemptuous view of the average American. It is that contemptuous view that lead so many senior Obama administration officials to decide to intervene in the 2016 presidential election. It is the belief that the American people are to willfully ignorant, uneducated, and generally lacking in intelligence to make the correct decisions regarding local, state and federal policy matters and especially regarding foreign policy decisions.
In short, Americans cannot be trusted to do what is in the nations best interests. It is here, that we are forced to confront once again those prophetic words of C.S Lewis.
““Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” ”
This is where we are today in America. Living under the yoke of omnipotent moral busybodies, tormented for our own good, without end, and with the approval of their conscience’s because they have reduced us to this state, To be “cured” against our will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease, to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
This is why the Obama administration officials within the Deep State acted as they did. To protect America from itself, because it is their collective opinion that we, the citizens of the United States of America, WE The People have not yet reached the age of reason or never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
