FRAUD upon the COURT :mad:

Confirmation: DOJ and FBI Used “Steele Dossier” for Application To FISA Court for Search Authority on Trump Campaign…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/10/confirmation-doj-and-fbi-used-steele-dossier-for-application-to-fisa-court-for-search-authority-on-trump-campaign/#more-144424

Don't miss it: This is a very concise and thorough article on HOW
the entire system was 'played' (not JUST FISA) and what Nunes has discovered.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6gfo5EQkxs

Sara Carter and Fox News are both confirming the DOJ and FBI used the Steele Dossier to get FISA-702 Data Surveillance Authority
allowing them to spy on Trump campaign officials.

In the latest developments, as reported by Sara Carter and Fox News,
the DOJ and FBI used the sketchy ‘Steele Dossier’ as the foundation for their FISA application.

(and they KNEW it was all bullshiit when they did it.. not just ONCE (it was denied by court) but TWICE.. dropping it in Obama's lap to PUSH it through FISA court. What's (so far) LOST in media/congressional reporting is not JUST the FBI's role... but the CIA's collusion as well. They (CIA) were the GENESIS.)

-------

What you need to know:

A warrant implies advanced judicial approval to begin surveillance and collecting emails and phone calls etc.
Like a traditional Title III DOJ / law enforcement search warrant. But that’s not how FISA-702 works.

The FISA database, run by the NSA hub, already holds all the information, all the emails, texts, phone calls etc.
The information already exists in a database. There are two steps to access the database of information:

♦Step One is to “Query” the database for your subject.
That search needs a factual legal reason to take place; like an ongoing investigation. (this is where the ABUSE happens. :mad:)

That search then returns an outcome, a set of information based on the “query” parameters.
If the user gets a positive response to the “query” then Yes, the database holds information related to what they are looking for. Remember, there has to be a preexisting investigation to do the query.

♦Step Two is to “Open” the data set.
That’s the step that needs a “search warrant” to be legal.
That second step, the ‘looking at the information’ is where an approval from the FISA court is needed.
The investigator must fill out a FISA application and go to the FISA Court for approval.
In order to get a FISA Court approval the investigator must show a valid reason for the search.

Example (not real):

•Step One: The DOJ/FBI official puts “Jared Kushner” into the search query. This generates a number of responses. Perhaps his emails, phone call logs, actual intercepted recordings of his calls, or text messages, etc. (everything the NSA hub captures “about” Jared Kushner). There has to be a valid investigative reason in this step. An investigation of Jared Kushner must be underway.

•Step Two: The DOJ/FBI official then quarantines the returned information and applies to the FISA Court for permission to review it. The FBI/DOJ official has to tell the court why they want to look, ie. the FISA application. The FISA court grants the application and gives the FBI/DOJ official the approval. The application must have a legal basis as presented to the court – similar to that needed for a search warrant.

In 2016 NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers noted there were numerous FISA-702(17) unauthorized “About Queries” being conducted by the intelligence community. These are queries that did not have an underlying investigation to support their taking place.

Understand this:
They want us to believe that 'money' launched the dossier.
Wrong.
The background was ALREADY created. Done.
THEN given to Steele/Fusion GPS to 'market'.

It wasn't 'commissioned'... it was simply SOLD (DNC was a 'duped' CUSTOMER)
Who better to 'blame' if the whole thing went South?

It's the criminal network operating at the helms of power in Government agencies protecting ITSELF...
THROWING false 'bread crumbs' out... like 'DNC,DNC,DNC'/'RUSSIA,RUSSIA,RUSSIA'/'HEZBOLLAH,HEZBOLLAH,HEZBOLLAH'
and STONEWALLING (meta data 'redactions') via the (current) Justice Department...
trying to keep the House Intel Committee and Senate Justice investigations
from drilling down to the core.

I believe Trump thinks it can all be taken care of 'internally' to keep the sheep 'calm'.
Over my dead body. :mad:

Uranium Ratline: first domino


George was way ahead of the curve on this one..

October 21st, 2017 to be exact
@ 6:25 he FIRST mentions 'Lambert'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmvX7HkoRtY


He literally 'dug' the name up by his own research... then did the background...
tracked him down to a distillery he owns in Maryland,
then visited and spoke w/ the guy and his wife a month ago and taped it...

George predicted the guy might get thrown under the bus.
Well...
He was. Today.

This is what McCabe and Mueller & 'friends' always do and have ALWAYS done..
they throw an expendable, compromised underling under the bus to take the hit.
(or use em/suicide em.. or 'lean' on them for 'donations' or 'votes' or 'favors' or name it.)

He's (of course) 'guilty'... but he HAS a 'story' to tell.
Will he be 'gag ordered' like Manafort by the court?
Will he 'plea' down the charges in exchange for SILENCE?

It's just another brick on a very full load and more bricks are coming.
There's simply too much to 'quash'. Fun times ahead.





Now.. because of all the incredible work done by the crowdsourced documentation.. (kudos to 911bodysnatchers.. she did all the transcriptions)
It becomes SIMPLE to 'catch up' (for you, for journalists, for lawyers, for Congressmen, anyone... to unravel the pieces)

If you want to explore this uranium ratline further via George...

TRUE GENISIS


George continues to trace the CIA initiated 'footsteps' that ended up being 'packaged' and 'sold' as the 'the dossier'...

Smoking Gun (if this doc is authenticated)
With a newly disclosed GCHQ document corroborating the contact meetings between
US CIA Director John Brennan and UK/GCHQ DirectorRobert Hannigan

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DTgFPTvX0AcSuy1.jpg:large

George fits together the timeline sequences of what then transpired consequent to that meeting.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTLRWB3FjM8

Pay attention to Susan Rice footage. This is her/CIA covering their ass... and Nunes KNOWS it.
This is them USING the 'Foreign Intelligence loophole' by employing the UK GS4 operatives on US soil...
to 'legalize' the domestic surveillance on Trump et al LONG before the FISA actions.

Rep Matt Gaetz on FISA Corruption Memo: “Very Foundations of Our Democracy” At Risk…

Reviewing 'eyes only' summary report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, (Nunes)
including a memo held in the Congressional Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)
that contained previously-undisclosed information involving the Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsYygeervbM



more delay & slofooting of crucial FISA corruption information KEPT hidden from US AND Congress
until AFTER the 702 vote.


[…] There will be no copies of the report handed out to House members.
Instead, a copy will be made available for them to read in a secure room in the Capitol.
They won’t be able to take the report out of the room.
But they will know the answers to the questions.

The House itself can declassify documents under certain conditions.
If enough members support declassifying the House Intel report,
then the House as a body could move to declassify the information in it.
And then the public would know.



and note that they suppressed it anyway...

This is all going to plan. It will play out in the coming months as we approach the midterms...

[Gaddafi Duck]

Why hasn't it been?

Because Trump is incredibly shrewd. I know people like to think they're smarter than him, but he's an incredibly sharp individual. If I were in his shoes, I would have declassified and dumped all of this months ago--however, he's playing it much better. He's having a "hands-off" approach to this. That way his critics cannot have anything to point to him ceasing the investigation into him. He knows he cannot directly fire Mueller without that starting impeachment proceedings. So, he's having Congress do the work for him. Methodically, the truth is coming out and is grinding away at the Democrats' narrative. Memos are coming out gradually that are neutering the Mueller investigation.

Many people ridicule Jeff Sessions for his impotence. I differ. I think he's behind the scenes disarming the Deep State. He made the mistake by hastily recusing himself, but perhaps in the long-run it was for the best.

I've always thought Trump was either incredibly smart or incredibly lucky because many things seem to break his way. Remember, this guy not only beat Hillary Clinton with Obama spying on his campaign, but he bested 16 or 17 other of the top Republicans in the primaries with the RNC rigging it. I think he's very shrewd---I think it's waaaay too coincidental that Rosenstein appointed Mueller, and based on the talk around this FISA memo, Rosenstein will be fired (and may go to jail), and based on the IG report about Uranium One, Mueller will be implicated. This story is way too perfect to be coincidental---I have to think Trump is having a hand in all of this behind the scenes with Jeff Sessions.

The brilliance of Trump is that he keeps his opponents from getting their footing and keeps them guessing. To everyone else, he seems volatile and changes his mind every 2 minutes when in reality he doesn't. He just makes you THINK he does. So you spend more time thinking about his position than yours. Time after time his opponents fall into this trap. And people refuse to give him credit because to them it's insulting to think he is that smart...and yet, he's the President of the United States. That's not easy to do given he was accused of everything under the sun and STILL won.

Yep, I think DACA was punted to 2018 to put pressure on RINOs and make the primaries about immigration. It then makes Democrats look ridiculous they want amnesty for illegals to appease their Leftist base. There won't be a DACA deal, which will encourage even further Leftist Democrats to run, which won't win in a 2018 general vs. a Republican.

Also, I think drawing out the misery in the scandals Congress/IG is looking into is going to be a cold shower on Democrats. They're very arrogant at the moment, and I think 2018 may go completely the other direction from what people are anticipating.

Also, the most corrupt politicians from both sides have lost their funding from the Saudis. The fake resistance parties like Antifa have also lost significant funding (bye bye Soros). The Rothschilds are on the run. The puppet strings are being cut and that is why a record amount are not seeking re election or being forced out because of “sexual misconduct” (read: we have the goods on you, go out with sexual misconduct or we will expose your more serious sins (treason) to the world).

That of course is a great question... we can only guess.
Most of us will guess the same thing. :cool:

What may still be interesting to watch:
Trump STILL has to sign the extension into law... and
I think he will... but
the timing of the memo release (if very soon)
will cause the eyes and minds of the Nation (and select anti 702 voices)
to turn directly to and challenge Truimp to NOT sign it.
That would be fun.

I am anticipating a GOP landslide in November. The democrats are leaderless, have lost any meaningful focus as a party, have pitted themselves against the blue collared workers and whites in general, and will be crippled by the scandals which will be revealed in full in the course of this year.

This is why they lost. For years their bread and butter was the blue collar working class. In this last election the working man became the uneducated redneck in their eyes. I know a few die-hard union workers who never voted republican in the past (NEVER), who voted for Trump. If anything the democrats didn't learn their lesson, in fact their rhetoric has increased.

I don't quite share your optimism, but regardless, there are interesting times ahead.

Leave it to Trump to continue the police state total surveillance, enabling more future abuses.

He says the total surveillance/FISA/police state was abused. FISA is an abuse itself. NSA total surveillance is an abuse itself.

[KingNothing]

Because Trump is incredibly shrewd. I know people like to think they're smarter than him, but he's an incredibly sharp individual. If I were in his shoes, I would have declassified and dumped all of this months ago--however, he's playing it much better. He's having a "hands-off" approach to this. That way his critics cannot have anything to point to him ceasing the investigation into him. He knows he cannot directly fire Mueller without that starting impeachment proceedings. So, he's having Congress do the work for him. Methodically, the truth is coming out and is grinding away at the Democrats' narrative. Memos are coming out gradually that are neutering the Mueller investigation.

Many people ridicule Jeff Sessions for his impotence. I differ. I think he's behind the scenes disarming the Deep State. He made the mistake by hastily recusing himself, but perhaps in the long-run it was for the best.

I've always thought Trump was either incredibly smart or incredibly lucky because many things seem to break his way. Remember, this guy not only beat Hillary Clinton with Obama spying on his campaign, but he bested 16 or 17 other of the top Republicans in the primaries with the RNC rigging it. I think he's very shrewd---I think it's waaaay too coincidental that Rosenstein appointed Mueller, and based on the talk around this FISA memo, Rosenstein will be fired (and may go to jail), and based on the IG report about Uranium One, Mueller will be implicated. This story is way too perfect to be coincidental---I have to think Trump is having a hand in all of this behind the scenes with Jeff Sessions.

The brilliance of Trump is that he keeps his opponents from getting their footing and keeps them guessing. To everyone else, he seems volatile and changes his mind every 2 minutes when in reality he doesn't. He just makes you THINK he does. So you spend more time thinking about his position than yours. Time after time his opponents fall into this trap. And people refuse to give him credit because to them it's insulting to think he is that smart...and yet, he's the President of the United States. That's not easy to do given he was accused of everything under the sun and STILL won.


I agree with all of this, and I'd add that the beauty of things from Trump's perspective is that he really doesn't have to be a genius to do anything that he's done so far in politics. He simply needs to be clean and aware of how those around him are not. If he just holds his cards close to his vest and never overplays his hand, sooner or later his opponents are forced to reveal theirs -- and because they've got literally decades of corruption and incompetence behind them, they can NEVER actually win.

New York court breaks rules, refuses investigation into James Comey

The New York courts have refused to pursue an investigation against former FBI Director James Comey and several other major figures involved in the Clinton email scandal, seemingly breaking their own rules in the process.

Ty Clevenger, a lawyer, had filed grievances against Mr. Comey and three others saying they violated fundamental rules of lawyers’ ethics by the way they handled the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails.

The New York grievance commission, in a letter dated earlier this month, rejected all of the complaints without comment.

Under the commission’s own rules it is supposed to provide “a brief description of the basis for the determination,” so the move to dismiss the grievances without any reason was striking.

“The independent review has now taken place and I have been formally advised that the committee decided not to proceed further with your complaints,” Jorge Dopico, the chief attorney for the disciplinary committee’s first judicial department, said in the Jan. 9 letter.

“Accordingly, we cannot be of further assistance in these matters,” he concluded.

Fitton: One Step Closer to Facts About James Comey Memos
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/18/one-step-closer-facts-comey-memos/


U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg has given us an important victory in our quest for the truth about former FBI Director James Comey and his infamous memos.

Boasberg ruled that the FBI must turn over to the court for in camera, non-public review of Comey’s memos allegedly detailing conversations he had with President Donald Trump.

The court, in seeking to review the documents, shows it does not trust the FBI or Justice Department’s representations about the memos. We hope now that Americans are one step closer to knowing the facts about these memos, which were written and leaked for pernicious purposes to target a sitting president with a criminal investigation. It’s high time they begin to see the light of day. We’re glad the court followed up on our specific suggestion that it review the documents directly.

The court order tells the government to turn over the Comey memos for review by January 18. In doing so, the court rejects arguments by the Sessions Justice Department to dismiss the lawsuits seeking the Comey information.

FBI Mysteriously “Loses” Five Months of Text Messages Between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page…

a disclosure by top FBI officials that text messages between Strzok and Page have gone missing.

According to information relayed to Senator Ron Johnson, the period of time the FBI has “lost”
is from December 14th, 2016 to May 17th, 2017, the exact day that Special Counsel Robert Mueller was assigned to lead the Russia collusion probe.

Stephen Boyd, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs at the Justice Department attributed the failure to:

“misconfiguration issues related to rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades that conflicted with the FBI’s collection capabilities.”

“The result was that data that should have been automatically collected and retained for long-term storage and retrieval was not collected,”

Except they aren't releasing the memo. WikiLeaks is offering $1 million for a copy (what, their hackers aren't good enough to get one?)

https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/954185054430924801

It is real- they just don't want people to see what it actually says- might be different from what they claim it does. (though Republicans also wrote the memo- including Nunes).


Even the most plugged-in news consumer could be forgiven for thinking the classified memo is an executive branch document that exposes wrongdoing within the Justice Department and the FBI. It isn’t.

The document, which alleges abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act during the FBI’s quiet counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in the final months of the 2016 election, was actually compiled by Republican staffers on the House Intelligence Committee. That committee voted along partisan lines this week to allow any member of Congress to take a peek at the document themselves. Republican members soon flocked to a secure room to read the memo written by their allies — and then ran to tell the press about it.


Is there actually a new bombshell in the report? It’s possible. But the motives and track records of the Republican lawmakers behind the media blitz surrounding the memo suggest there may be less to it than they claim.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), who chairs the committee that cooked up the document, had been the public face of the GOP push to undermine the Mueller probe, although he’d taken a backseat as of late. Last year, Nunes was involved in an embarrassing episode in which he briefed President Trump on information he received from a source he wouldn’t name. It later turned out he’d met that person on White House grounds.

Some conservatives have urged caution, worrying that Republicans are overhyping a secret document. Republicans “should not oversell” the report, conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt wrote. Over at the conservative blog Hot Air, Ed Morrissey wondered if it was a “set-up for a let-down.” He argued the memo should be released, but warned conservatives to “not go all-in on it until we have a chance to see it for ourselves. In the meantime, remember that most things that seem too good to be true usually are.”

What you (really) need to understand...
is that the continuing 'obstruction' within agency circles, intelligence circles and DOJ...
is not about 'partisanship' or 'trump revenge' syndrome.

Sure. They were all pro-Hillary/anti-Trump... but WHY???
Because of some progressive ethic or liberal ethos?
Don't make me laugh. They didn't & don't give a rat's ass.

We know EXACTLY why... and we know (more) of 'what' they are (still) trying to 'protect'.
It sure as HELL isn't the 'democratic ideals' of the Obama admin, Chuck Schumer or Adam Schiff.

It's a crime enterprise.
It's theft at it's very root.
and (I'm convinced/starting to understand) the TAP root is Uranium.
The theft and piracy in that single element FAR transcends 'Uranium One' by decades.

It's the perfect commodity... radioactive gold.
A quarter pound of simple 'LOW enriched' is $8M.
'Highly' enriched is much, much more.

Best of all....
You have to have 'color of law' to even go NEAR it... never mind 'lead suits' hahaha.
It's perfect.

What if someone were to tell you..
that the '20% to Russia' Uranium One 'deal' was being done to try and BACKFILL
Uranium LONG since stolen.....
to 'quietly' try and REPLACE missing stock piles of uranium...

Ha! It gives an entirely new meaning to the word 'depleted' uranium.

But wait! There's More! :)

Put a small chunk 'on top' and transport it. To/From US ports.
What could you (also) put 'underneath' it?
ans: ANYTHING that would fit.
See where we're going with this????

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s low-enriched uranium bank, opened Tuesday in Kazakhstan.

The Washington-based non-profit provided the initial funding for the bank
courtesy of a $50 million investment from American billionaire investor Warren Buffett.

The agency, which will run the “bank” independently of any country, (oh.. thank goodness! :) )
will purchase and store.....
(U235)low-enriched uranium, fuel for civilian reactors
but not an ingredient for nuclear weapons. (ya just gotta spin it up to U238 :cool: )



Think 'gold' instead of Uranium.

[goldenequity]

Did you KNOW: You can 'reverse' HIGHLY back to LOW?

It's called 'down blending'.

Why would you do that?

Same reason you would 'cut' PURE Heroin with lactose or powdered sugar....
it creates MORE of it to sell.

Is this same material that is supposedly in the explosive memo that is not being released to public?

If so, as noted elsewhere this could be potentially very good news for Trump and respected WH advisor Jared Kushner as this could negate the very basis of witchhunt "Russia gate" scandal.


Quote:
If the claims being made about this memo are factual, that could undermine the very basis for Mueller investigation ?

IF that turned out to be the case, then all the secondary gates/scandals linked to/stemmed from original "Russia gate" (such as Israel-Flynn gate (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?517312-Breaking-Flynn-says-Trump-directed-him-to-make-contact-with-Russians&), Bannon claimed Kushner money laundering gate (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?518162-The-Kushner-s***-is-greasy-Bannon-predicts-Mueller-will-roll-up-president-s-son-in-law&), latest Peggy Peterson-Michael Cohen (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?518567-Never-Trumpers-doing-excessive-Stormy-Daniels-porn-searches&p=6576479&viewfull=1#post6576479) gate etc) would also become moot?

Congressional investigators learned from a new batch of text messages between anti-Trump FBI investigators that a "secret society of folks" within the Department of Justice and the FBI may have come together in the "immediate aftermath" of the 2016 election to undermine President Trump, according to Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) who has reviewed the texts.

The new texts were included in a 384-page DOJ document release to Congressional investigators last Friday - during which Congress was notified in the cover letter that that five months of text messages from December 14, 2016 to May 17, 2017 have gone missing (If only the NSA had copies).

Ratcliffe was joined by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) to discuss the latest developments with Fox News host Martha McCallum, when Ratcliffe said:

What we learned today in the thousands of text messages that weve reviewed that perhaps they may not have done that (checked their bias at the door). There's certainly a factual basis to question whether or not they acted on that bias. We know about this insurance policy that was referenced in trying to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.

We learned today from information that in the immediate aftermath of his election that there may have been a secret society of folks within the Department of Justice and the FBI to include Page and Strzok to be working against him.

Q always seems a step ahead...

FBI Official: FBI Agents Threatened Physical Harm to President Trump In Missing FBI Texts & Other “Frightening” Communications
https://truepundit.com/fbi-official-fbi-agents-threatened-physical-harm-president-trump-missing-fbi-texts-frightening-communications/

“This is much larger than just texts between two FBI agents.”


A high-ranking FBI official confirms a number of the missing 50,000 FBI text messages — as well as other text and email messages among FBI brass — reportedly discussed initiating physical harm to President Donald Trump.

The FBI official urged the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — which oversees the U.S. Secret Service — to launch an investigation of the Justice Department, the FBI and all text messages missing and otherwise that threatened the President.

“This is dangerous territory and all FBI text messages and personal phones should be examined,” the official said. “It would reveal some frightening conversations.”

Did FBI brass discuss the assassination of President Donald Trump? If not, what was the nature of the threats against the president from inside the alleged premiere law enforcement agency in the United States?

“(Director) Wray wants a lid on this,” the FBI official said. “Many know there was talk of harming Trump politically but there is a group here (in D.C. HQ) that understands it goes deeper. We need a special counsel or Homeland Security. Somebody has to clean this up outside of DOJ. It is unacceptable.

“This is much larger than just texts between two FBI agents.”

The FBI official called on President Trump to do what is necessary to weed out corruption in the FBI.

“Text messages just don’t disappear,” the FBI official said. “Not here. Someone outside DOJ has to look at all emails and texts. These (FBI bosses) are bad people. You’ve only scratched the surface.”

The high-ranking FBI official called on lawmakers and the Inspector General to focus on the text and email messages of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The official referred to McCabe’s official and personal correspondences “an anti-Trump treasure trove.”

As reported in March 2017 by True Pundit, McCabe openly threatened President Trump and then-National Security Adviser Gen. Mike Flynn, saying first we “Fuck Flynn and then we Fuck Trump” to several high-ranking FBI bosses who cheered his comment.

From that True Pundit Exclusive:

McCabe, the second highest ranking FBI official, emphatically declared at the invite-only gathering with raised voice: “Fuck Flynn and then we Fuck Trump,” according to direct sources. Many of his top lieutenants applauded and cheered such rhetoric. A scattered few did not.

This was one of several such meetings held in seclusion among key FBI leaders since Trump was elected president, FBI sources confirm. At the congregation where McCabe went off the political rails and vowed to destroy Flynn and Trump, there were as many as 16 top FBI officials, inside intelligence sources said. No lower-level agents or support personnel were present.

If you are among the millions of Americans who have pondered in recent months whether the Obama-era “Deep State” intelligence apparatus and FBI are working for or against Trump, this is the first definitive proof that the country’s once-premiere law enforcement agency has gone rogue.

The non-elected hierarchy that steer the FBI have declared war on President Trump and his White House inner circle. Make no mistake.

Flynn has since been indicted and plead guilty to a charge of lying to the FBI from an investigation supervised by McCabe after a FBI interview conducted by Peter Strzok, one of the agents busted sending anti-Trump texts. And Trump remains under investigation by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a figure linked to several conflicts of interest in the case including prior deals with McCabe.

As reported yesterday in True Pundit, members of the FBI and Justice Department’s top brass at their Washington D.C.headquarters and other field offices are now using burner phones to stay under the radar of federal investigators and lawmakers, according to FBI insiders.

The shocking revelations come on the heels of news that the FBI deleted thousands of text messages between anti-Trump FBI agents before investigators could review their content.

While that is disturbing on one level, FBI and DOJ hierarchy employing the telecom habits of drug cartel bosses reaches a new low for the once-heralded federal law enforcement agency and the DOJ. And breaks federal laws as well.

The FBI “failed to preserve” five months worth of text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the two FBI employees who made pro-Clinton and anti-Trump comments while working on the Clinton email and the Russia collusion investigations.

And now more text messages are missing from more FBI agents, according to the Justice Department.

That means 50,000 text messages.

Fifty.

Thousand.

Per The Hill yesterday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday announced the Justice Department will investigate missing text messages sent between two FBI agents critical of President Trump, joining the chorus of Republican lawmakers who are eager to recover the exchange.

GOP officials have seized on the messages as evidence of FBI bias against Trump in the probes into Russian election meddling and Hillary Clinton‘s use of a private email server as secretary of State.

“We will leave no stone unturned to confirm with certainty why these text messages are not now available to be produced and will use every technology available to determine whether the missing messages are recoverable from another source,” Sessions said in a statement.

Is this same material that is supposedly in the explosive memo that is not being released to public?

If so, as noted elsewhere this could be potentially very good news for Trump and respected WH advisor Jared Kushner as this could negate the very basis of witchhunt "Russia gate" scandal.


Quote:
If the claims being made about this memo are factual, that could undermine the very basis for Mueller investigation ?

IF that turned out to be the case, then all the secondary gates/scandals linked to/stemmed from original "Russia gate" (such as Israel-Flynn gate (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?517312-Breaking-Flynn-says-Trump-directed-him-to-make-contact-with-Russians&), Bannon claimed Kushner money laundering gate (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?518162-The-Kushner-s***-is-greasy-Bannon-predicts-Mueller-will-roll-up-president-s-son-in-law&), latest Peggy Peterson-Michael Cohen (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?518567-Never-Trumpers-doing-excessive-Stormy-Daniels-porn-searches&p=6576479&viewfull=1#post6576479) gate etc) would also become moot?

This would be huge news if confirmed.


With additional memogate reports that have come out, is it time for Mr.Mueller to move on to other things and drop the "Russia gate" pursuit?

Clinton, Podesta And Others In Senate Crosshairs Over Dossier; Given Two Weeks To Respond


GOP Congressional investigators have written six letters to individuals or entities involved or thought to be involved in the funding, creation or distribution of the salacious and unverified "Trump-Russia dossier" believed to have been inappropriately used by the FBI, DOJ and Obama Administration in an effort to undermine Donald Trump as both a candidate and President of the United States.
Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SCS) wrote six Judiciary Committee letters requesting information from: John Podesta, Donna Brazille, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Robbie Mook, the DNC, and Hillary For America Chief Strategist Joel Benenson.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/wrapgang_1.jpg

(https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/wrapgang_1.jpg)The Senate Judiciary Committee letters read in part:
In October 2017, the Washington Post reported that Hillary for America and the Democratic National Committee had funded, via Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele's creation of a series of memos relying largely on Russian government sources to make allegations against Donald Trump and his associates. A letter from the law firm Perkins Coie acknowledged that, " [t]o assist in its representation of the DNC and Hillary for America, Perkins Coie engaged Fusion GPS in April of2016" and that "the engagement concluded prior to the November 2016 Presidential election
the Committee has been investigating the FBI' s relationship with Christopher Steele during this time his work was funded by Hillary for America and the DNC. The scope of our review includes the extent to which the FBI may have relied on information relayed by Mr. Steele in seeking judicial authorization for surveillance of individuals associated with Mr. Trump. It also includes whether any applications that may have been made for permission for such surveillance fully and accurately disclosed:
(1) the source of Fusion GPS's and Mr. Steele's funding;
(2) the degree to which his claims were or were not verified;
(3) the motivations of Mr. Steele, his clients, and his sources; and
( 4) representations about their contacts with the press.

The letter then goes on to list twelve questions - the last being a request for all communications between a list of 40 individuals or entities - including Christopher Steele, Bruce Ohr, Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, Glenn Simpson and former CIA Director John Brennan.
The six recipients of letters have two weeks to comply with the following requests (note; "Hillary for America" is replaced by "the DNC" depending on who the letter is addressed to):

As part of their ongoing oversight efforts to ensure that the FBI’s law enforcement activities are free of improper political influence, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) yesterday sent six letters seeking information and documents regarding Christopher Steele’s work on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary for America.

All the 'obedient' thugs, mindless drones, useful 'idiots', judges, politicians below the TOP conspirators
(if they're even US citizens at ALL and not 'imported' and held hostage by 'greased' Visa programs)

but are themselves compromised by either greed or 'entrapment' ops to gain their 'compliance'...
and the rest.... 'think' they're working for 'National Security'.
Decades long in 'construction'.

Understanding What (not who) Carter Page Was

https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/carter-page-3.jpg?w=213&h=283

According to a Wall Street Journal report, Carter Page was on the radar of the FBI since 2013
“when Russian spies made an attempt to recruit him.” (Uh-huh.)
However, for some undetermined reason the FBI waited until October 21st, 2016,
to apply for Title I surveillance authority through the FISA court.

The FIRST FISA to begin penetrating the Trump campaign was a Title I.
Title I is COMPLETELY different than Title VII (702 etc.)
Title I is application to the FISA court that identifies Carter Page (American Citizen) as a 'Foreign Agent'... a 'spy'.
Why is that significant?

cuz EVERYBODY and ANYONE he then 'touches' becomes a LEGAL TARGET for surveillance under a Title I warrant. (not so w/ Title 7-702 warrant often called the 'Foreign Intelligence 'loophole' allowing 'ancillary' surveillance on 1 NAMED citizen, them ONLY/ALONE.)

They THEN (after setting up Carter Page w/ this FIRST Title I FISA application)
could 'LEGALLY' go after everyone/anyone including the Trump campaign, that Carter had ANY 'contact' with.
Carter Page became a surveillance 'leper' and they set him up and used him for exactly that purpose. (insert McCabe here.)
He Carter (of course) had no idea.



================



THE 'N' WORD


I confess. I've been holding back... but (sigh)
I can't continue to post George's videos now without a comment.

You have to understand a precept: 'George Doesn't Care.'
Everything will come easier after that. :)

He's yer basic gumshoe detective. He's going to follow the 'dots'
no matter where it takes him.
Keep in mind also that to George.. he's 'thinking' out loud. All the time.
Everything is 'working theory', puzzle pieces that are either left in place or discarded or set aside. It's how he rolls.

If you want to continue to follow.... we're going to 'Krazee Town'. Buckle up.





So.. my attempt at an 'intro'...

We've all been watching the absolute evil that's befallen this Country.... for years.
Shocked... then numb. Shocked... then numb.
But..
It has now 'turned' some kind of 'corner' in a 'cosmic lens' sort of way.
Most of us have 'felt it'... some sort of 'line' has now been crossed...
One of the noticeable results has been that those of us long time 'woke folks'
all feel somewhat relieved/justified that 'we're NOT krazee'...
It's real... all the things we 'suspected' are becoming mainstream.

Well...

What if in fact we are following a 'template' of sorts? Something not really 'new'?
What if this 'thing' we are unraveling has historic 'ROOTS' and is not just evolving 'happenstance'?
What if there are not just ideological roots and 'similarities' from history..
but could also have actual physical roots?
Think of 'chain migration' from the pit of hell.
Think virus.

Thanks 4 posting this Timo.
It's clear Gowdy has sold out by defending the 'institution' (no matter what)
This interview is laughable (though I enjoyed the end)

In the first MINUTE it's an OBVIOUS lie.
He's establishing the narrative that out of 30,000 men and women
with their daily 'hands' on that much POWER
only 5 FIVE!.... no.. make that 2 TWO! are corrupted????
USA! USA! USA! :rolleyes:

He is coating the 'system' with so much 'butter'
... like we're all supposed to IGNORE that fact
that the BREAD really DOES have MOLD on it.
I consider him a very sincere but very CONFUSED individual.

I could go into a whole discourse on Judgement vs Mercy...
it's EXACTLY where and what is 'troubling' Trey Gowdy.

Sooner or Later we will get to what lies 'beneath' the dossier.
The operation was ALREADY in play LONG before Christopher Steele/Simpson/Fusion GPS.
It was (as we know) not the FBI (alone).

remember: It wasn't MONEY, the DNC nor McCain that 'launched' what became the 'dossier'.
They were 'customers'.... they BOUGHT it; they didn't COMMISSION it.
THAT lie continues to be regurgitated by ALL media (including FOX).
It's being used as 'cover' for what lies beneath.

It was Brennan, US/CIA and UK/GCHQ/G4S
who were ALREADY busy doing clandestine surveillance on American soil trying to get 'dirt'
and organize the entrapment/sting.
Papadapolous was THEIR man.

We KNOW they each REGULARLY hand off TERABYTES
of bulk, domestic Vault 7/Snowden type 'data collection'
to each other (to skirt each others 'domestic' spying laws)
to then be taken apart and analyzed 'offshore', condensed/assembled
and then 'onshored' as useable 'reports'.

Look Ma... NO FISA!

McCabe is Brennan's protege.. he's been an inside man for the CIA throughout his career.
He's corrupt as HELL covered in blood and dirt.
We lay Lavoy Finicum's body at your feet Andy. :mad:

I can't WAIT till we get past the 'political weaponization' angle...
The continual focus on 'HOW' and 'WHAT' they did...
and never touching on the 'WHY' (Uranium/Greed/ratlines/Clinton Foundation etc.)
We'll get there.

It is significant - if true - that the very first FISA warrant application was rejected
without some DNC/Clinton manufactured false affidavit to push it through as insurance for the election outcome,
done by an FBI director !

"dangerous precedent that's been established by the FBI.
James Comey and the FBI attempted to get a FISA warrant in the summer of 2016. They were not successful.
They then moved in October by adding to their request the Steele dossier. Then they get a FISA warrant.
Then it was renewed a day before the inauguration and then renewed subsequently again."

Here is something interesting to note about Gowdy leaving. He is THE ONLY PERSON that was allowed on the Republican side to see the FISA warrants in question that were written in the memo. He understands the implications.

He also said that this would not harm the Mueller investigation. Why would he say that? My guess is he does not want to be the one that gets blamed for lighting the fuse.

You might have to replay this several times in order to fathom exactly the magnitude of what he is describing here.

This is a program of 'political appointees' simply INSERTED at the TOP of gov't orgs in cities across the country.
(actually the world.. the 2nd logo above is the Foreign Service SES)

Exactly like the Executive branch/State Department's appointee pay-to-play 'ambassadors' system....
except
this is a DOMESTIC 'internal' chain of command of political appointees....
owing 'allegiance' to their 'benefactors'... but on government payroll w/ $200,000 salaries.
Hillary 'grew' the program from 1,000 to 10,000.

So think 'ambassadors'. Centralized. Immediately 'in charge' of 'local' operations. 10,000 'cells'.

The question then is: Ambassadors for WHOM/WHAT?

[Swordsmyth]

On Friday, Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order in United States v. Flynn that, while widely unnoticed, reveals something fascinating: A motion by Michael Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea based on government misconduct is likely in the works.
Just a week ago, and thus before Sullivan quietly directed Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team to provide Flynn’s attorneys “any exculpatory evidence,” Washington Examiner columnist Byron York detailed (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-comey-told-congress-fbi-agents-didnt-think-michael-flynn-lied/article/2648896) the oddities of Flynn’s case. The next day, former assistant U.S. attorney and National Review contributing editor Andrew McCarthy connected more (https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/02/michael-flynn-guilty-plea-questions-raised-about-fbi-robert-mueller-investigation/) of the questionable dots. York added even more details (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-an-unusual-turn-in-the-michael-flynn-case/article/2649272) a couple of days later. Together these articles provide the backdrop necessary to understand the significance of Sullivan’s order on Friday.


Why Bombshells Are Likely Ahead With a protective order in place, Flynn’s attorneys should start receiving the required disclosures from the special counsel’s office. There is reason to believe these will include some bombshells.
First, we know from the recently released GOP House Intelligence Committee memo and the Grassley-Graham criminal referral of Christopher Steele, the FBI and DOJ withheld significant (and material, in my view (http://thefederalist.com/2018/02/05/we-dont-need-democrats-memo-to-know-the-fbi-and-doj-need-house-cleaning/)) information in seeking a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to conduct surveillance on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page. There is cause (https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/02/michael-flynn-guilty-plea-questions-raised-about-fbi-robert-mueller-investigation/) to believe the FISA court was connected to the criminal charge filed against Flynn because Contreras, who recused less than a week after accepting Flynn’s guilty plea, “is one of just three FISA court judges who sits in the District of Columbia, where it is likely the Trump-Russia FISA warrants were sought.”
Was other evidence withheld, either from the FISA court or from Flynn’s attorneys in negotiating a plea? Again, there is reason to believe so, given the players involved and the facts already uncovered.
Remember, the special counsel charged Flynn with lying to FBI agents on January 24. While the charge did not identify the FBI agents involved, we know that Peter Strzok conducted the January interview that eventually led to the criminal case against Flynn. Strzok formed a part of Mueller’s team until he was removed following the discovery of hostile text messages concerning Trump, including a planned “insurance policy” should Trump win the White House.
Obama political holdover Sally Yates’ involvement in the case raises additional concerns. While Strzok and Mueller initially indicated they believed Flynn had been truthful, Yates, while serving as acting attorney general, had directed Strzok to interview Flynn and had pushed for charges against Flynn under the Logan Act. Another member of Mueller’s team, Andrew Weissmann, is likewise suspect given his praise (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/prosecutor-from-robert-muellers-team-praised-sally-yates-for-not-defending-trump-travel-ban/article/2642647) for Yates’ refusal to defend Trump’s travel ban. Weissmann remains a part of the special counsel’s team, notwithstanding calls (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/prosecutor-from-robert-muellers-team-praised-sally-yates-for-not-defending-trump-travel-ban/article/2642647) for his ouster.
Mueller must now provide Flynn all exculpatory evidence: Significantly, if the information is favorable to Flynn but the special counsel’s office believes it is immaterial, government attorneys must nonetheless provide the evidence to Sullivan to allow him to make the call. In other words, Mueller’s team cannot unilaterally decide what evidence matters, as the Department of Justice did in applying to the FISA court for a surveillance warrant on Page while withholding the key fact that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee paid for information crucial to the application.
This Whole Thing Could Bring further Abuse to Light No one knows yet what the evidence will show. However, there are enough shady characters involved to believe there will be something of significance. Then what?
Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor and author of “Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice,” writes (http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/16/general-flynn-should-withdraw-his-guilty-plea-his-new-judge-is-a-government-misconduct-expert/) that Flynn should withdraw his guilty plea and suggests that Sullivan, as “the country’s premier jurist experienced in the abuses of our Department of Justice, . . . is the best person to confront the egregious government misconduct that has led to and been perpetrated by the Mueller-Weissmann ‘investigation’ and to right the injustices that have arisen from it.”
Friday’s order suggests Sullivan is ready to do just that. That order consisted of an updated standing order detailing the government’s obligations under Brady. On the surface, Friday’s order seems inconsequential, but in comparing the December 12, 2017, version to the February 16, 2018, version, one substantive change stood out.
It was subtle, but significant given the posture of this case: The revised version added one sentence specifying that the government’s obligation to produce evidence material either to the defendant’s guilt or punishment “includes producing, during plea negotiations, any exculpatory evidence in the government’s possession.”

If the DoJ suddenly 'drops' the Flynn case... it is BECAUSE they want to hide the 'exculpatory' documents/disclosures.
This is very, very, very common...
indeed, another very common tactic is to purposefully 'taint' proceedings so a case is then declared a mistrial by the judge.
They do this to hide their own 'set-ups' and illegal 'stings' when things aren't going 'slam-dunk' in court. Think Bundy.
I will watch for it.

McCain associate invokes Fifth Amendment on Trump dossier sources: reporthttp://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/375205-mccain-associate-invokes-fifth-amendment-on-trump-dossier


Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) had wanted to speak with Kramer about his visit to London in November 2016, during which he met with the author of the dossier, former British spy Christopher Steele. According to court filings, he met with Steele at McCain's request, to view “the pre-election memoranda on a confidential basis."
Kramer then traveled back to the U.S. and gave copies of the memos to McCain, who then turned the documents over to the FBI.

The committee interviewed Kramer last month prior to issuing a subpoena for him.

The dossier was created by opposition research firm Fusion GPS and funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign.

So, the crime was meeting with a British spy? Stealing a copy of something funded by the Clinton campaign? Showing it to McCain?

What is the crime that allows him to hide behind the Fifth?

Treason?

[acptulsa]

Treason?

So, if meeting with the spy and looking at the report is treason, what is hiring the spy and commissioning the report?

No, I doubt that's it. It sounds good. I'd like to see Hilldawg trade her pantsuist for an orange jumpsuit. But it's probably more like industrial espionage.

Suspiciously, Barack Obama’s Intelligence Community Assessment matches the main allegations leveled by the Clinton-paid dossier on Trump, which wormed its way into intelligence channels (https://nypost.com/2017/04/18/fbi-used-trump-dossier-to-justify-monitoring-of-ex-aide-report/), in addition to the FBI, Justice Department and State Department, during the 2016 campaign.
In fact, the shady dossier makes exactly the same claim — that Putin personally “ordered” the cyberattacks on the Clinton campaign and leaked embarrassing e-mails to “bolster Trump,” as part of “an aggressive Trump support operation.” Like Obama’s ICA, Clinton’s dossier provides no concrete evidence to back up the claim.
After learning Obama Justice and FBI officials relied heavily on unsubstantiated rumors in the dossier to wiretap a Trump adviser during the election, congressional leaders now suspect the dossier also informed Obama intelligence officials who compiled the ICA.
The report was released Jan. 6, 2017 — the same day intelligence officials attached a written summary of the dossier to a highly classified Russia briefing they gave Obama about the dossier, and the day after Obama held a secret White House meeting to discuss the dossier with his national-security adviser and FBI director.
Staff investigators for GOP Rep. Devin Nunes’ intelligence committee, for one, are now going over “every word” of the ICA — including classified footnotes — to see if any of the analysis was pre-cooked based on the dossier. On Tuesday, Nunes sent letters to Obama intel officials responsible for the report. He demanded former top spook John Brennan and intel czar James Clapper provide answers about how they used the dossier in intel reports and when they learned the Clinton camp paid for it.

BBC China: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_China) In October 2003 the ship was diverted to Italy while carrying gas centrifuges for uranium enrichment to Libya.

Libyan Nuke Program Was CIA-MI6 Sting Op (https://gosint.wordpress.com/2017/11/16/libyan-nuke-program-was-cia-mi6-sting-op/)
“Then, in early October 2003, the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Italy interdicted the ‘BBC China,’ a German ship destined for Libya that the Americans had been tracking for nearly a year.

A U.S. intelligence official informed the Libyans that the five 40-foot containers marked used machine parts that were offloaded from the ship contained thousands of centrifuge parts to enrich uranium, manufactured in Malaysia by the A.Q. Khan network,”

The FBI may have violated criminal statutes, as well as its own strict internal procedures, by using unverified information during the 2016 election to obtain a surveillance warrant on onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee charged Thursday in a letter obtained by Fox News.
House Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., wrote in his letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions that “in this instance, it’s clear that basic operating guidance was violated.”
Nunes cited the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG), which was created by the bureau and approved by the Justice Department, to say he believed the FBI violated procedures requiring verified and documented evidence in applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
An Oct. 2011 version of the operations guide states that the “accuracy of information contained within FISA applications is of utmost importance... Only documented and verified information may be used to support FBI applications to the court.”
The guidance also states that information in a FISA application must be “thoroughly vetted and confirmed.”
Nunes to Sessions: FBI may have violated criminal statutes in Carter Page FISA application (https://www.scribd.com/document/372746970/Nunes-to-Sessions-FBI-may-have-violated-criminal-statutes-in-Carter-Page-FISA-application#from_embed)

Nunes listed five criminal statutes that were possibly violated, including conspiracy, obstruction of justice, contempt of court. It also cites statutes that make it a crime to willfully deprive a person of a right protected by the Constitution and another preventing unauthorized electronic surveillance.
In the letter, Nunes asks Sessions whether these protocols requiring verified information have changed, and if not, what steps the DOJ or FBI taken to hold officials behind the Page application accountable.
The letter is carbon copied to FBI Director Christopher Wray and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

Scaramucci Says He Fears John Kelly Will Thwart SkyBridge Sale
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-01/scaramucci-tears-into-bad-dude-trump-chief-of-staff-kelly


Accuses Kelly of blocking him from meeting with Trump

Scaramucci says he now fears Kelly will thwart his bid to sell his stake in SkyBridge Capital to China’s HNA Group Co.
The sale has been stuck at CIFIUS Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., which reviews foreign acquisitions of domestic businesses for security risks.

Scaramucci claims Kelly has been blocking his access to the president.
He said he was prevented from attending a gathering Trump went to with business executives at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
He also said he was blocked after having been invited to a meeting at the White House with a top Trump aide.

In a Daily Caller op-ed calling the Russian meddling narrative a "false public manipulation (http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/08/the-ever-changing-russia-narrative-in-american-politics-is-cynically-false-public-manipulation/)," Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska claims that Daniel Jones - a former FBI investigator, Feinstein staffer and now a Fusion GPS operative (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-20/leaked-texts-suggest-former-feinstein-staffer-part-ongoing-scramble-verify-dossier) - told the Russian Oligarch's lawyer in March, 2017 that Fusion GPS was funded by "a group of Silicon Valley billionaires and George Soros."

Of note, Deripaska's lawyer, D.C. lobbyist Adam Waldman, recommended Jones to investigate and verify the claims from the Fusion GPS anti-Trump dossier assembled by former UK spy Christopher Steele. Waldman was also an intermediary between Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Steele in trying to arrange a meeting - which suggests that Waldman, Jones, Steele and Fusion GPS are all connected.
Deripaska describes the ongoing "Russia narrative" as nothing more than a scandal manufactured by the deep state. "Wagging the dog costs money," writes Deripaska. "So, who is the “funding mechanism” of this “shadowy government?”" Why, none other than billionaire financier George Soros, according to Daniel Jones - as relayed to Congressional investigators by Deripaska's attorney Adam Waldman:

[O]n March 16, 2017, Daniel Jones — himself a team member of Fusion GPS, self-described former FBI agent and, as we now know from the media, an ex-Feinstein staffer — met with my lawyer, Adam Waldman, and described Fusion as a “shadow media organization helping the government,” funded by a “group of Silicon Valley billionaires and George Soros.” My lawyer testified these facts to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Nov. 3. Mr. Soros is, not coincidentally, also the funder of two “ethics watchdog” NGOs (Democracy 21 and CREW) attacking Rep. Nunes’ committee memo. -Oleg Deripaska
Jones currently runs the Penn Quarter Group, a "research and investigative advisory" firm whose website was registered in April of 2016, days before Steele delivered his first in a series of Trump-Russia memos. Jones began tweeting out articles suggesting illicit ties between the Trump campaign and Russia as early as 2017.
As The Federalist's Sean Davis reported (http://thefederalist.com/2018/02/20/is-a-former-feinstein-staffer-running-fusion-gpss-post-election-russia-dossier-operation/) last month, Congressional documents and leaked texts between Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Deripaska's attorney Adam Waldman reveal that Jones is "intimately involved with ongoing efforts to retroactively validate" the Steele / Fusion GPS memos.

In a letter sent Thursday to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Graham and Grassley, along with Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), wrote that “a special counsel is needed to work with the inspector general to independently gather the facts and make prosecutorial decisions, if any are merited.”
Graham said that he believes the Clinton email probe was "shoddily done," with conflicts of interest and political bias that may have given Clinton a pass.
"The FBI and the Department of Justice were corrupt, in my view, when it came to handling the email investigation of Clinton," Graham said, adding that they also "abused" the FISA warrant application process.
The senators on Thursday also released a February letter from Grassley and Graham to the Justice Department’s inspector general asking that he work with a second special counsel to investigate the DOJ and FBI’s request for a FISA warrant against a Trump campaign adviser.

Christopher Steele, was ordered by an English court Friday to appear for a videotaped deposition in London to be used as trial testimony in ongoing civil litigation against Buzzfeed for publishing the unverified dossier. Evan Fray-Witzer, a Boston-based attorney representing Russian tech tycoon Aleksej Gubarev, told Fox News, “We’re thrilled that the English Court has ordered Mr. Steele to sit for his deposition. It was always amazing to us that he could talk as freely as he has to reporters around the world about the dossier, yet refuse to sit for a deposition about the same topics.”

You might have to replay this several times in order to fathom exactly the magnitude of what he is describing here.

This is a program of 'political appointees' simply INSERTED at the TOP of gov't orgs in cities across the country.
(actually the world.. the 2nd logo above is the Foreign Service SES)

Exactly like the Executive branch/State Department's appointee pay-to-play 'ambassadors' system....
except
this is a DOMESTIC 'internal' chain of command of political appointees....
owing 'allegiance' to their 'benefactors'... but on government payroll w/ $200,000 salaries.
Hillary 'grew' the program from 1,000 to 10,000.

So think 'ambassadors'. Centralized. Immediately 'in charge' of 'local' operations. 10,000 'cells'.

The question then is: Ambassadors for WHOM/WHAT?


Like Geo says: This was/is a very, very BAD idea. :cool:

Well... this is annoying... not even ONE shout out to George (who 'broke' this story.)
Typical.
I've seen it time and again. (sigh)

Never the less... A good dialog between 'a' Thomas Paine (True Pundit?) and Michael McKibben that describes SES.

What's Rand's role in all of this? https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GPO-PLUMBOOK-2016/html/GPO-PLUMBOOK-2016.htm


SES statement to Congress on Dec. 01, 2016, Appendix 2, last paragraph, PDF p. 228 218, “Appointments to SES Positions”:

“By law, the appointment or removal” of SES positions “shall not be subject, directly or indirectly to review or approval by an officer or entity within the Executive Office of the President.” (Is this not sedition?)

Note: This SES statement was endorsed by the following Senators. Did they know what they were endorsing? Somebody needs to give at least Sen. Rand Paul a heads up.

Senators who endorsed SES rule that SES cannot be fired by the President:

COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS:
RON JOHNSON, Wisconsin, Chairman
JOHN MCCAIN, Arizona
ROB PORTMAN, Ohio
RAND PAUL, Kentucky
JAMES LANKFORD, Oklahoma
MICHAEL B. ENZI, Wyoming
KELLY AYOTTE, New Hampshire
JONI ERNST, Iowa
BEN SASSE, Nebraska
THOMAS R. CARPER, Delaware
CLAIRE MCCASKILL, Missouri
JON TESTER, Montana
TAMMY BALDWIN, Wisconsin

GABRIELLE D’ADAMO SINGER, Chief Counsel
GABRIELLE A. BATKIN, Minority Staff Director
JOHN P. KILVINGTON, Minority Deputy Staff Director
MARY BETH SCHULTZ, Minority Chief Counsel
LAURA W. KILBRIDE, Chief Clerk

Let's get this straight. A Senate Committee that oversees the Department of Homeland Security—an agency of the Executive Branch, is telling the American People that the hiring and firing function of the SES—also an agency within the Executive Branch, is not subject to the Executive Branch in its hiring and firing of personnel? Are you kidding me? Is this not the very definiton of sedition. This is proof of a shadow government in the Congressional record.

None really. Just voted on something barely understood by most.

The SES 'program' started benignly in 1976 or so.
The criminal ring grew it into a monster. (surprise!)
The whole concept of simply 'inserting' appointees 'at the top' and bypassing the 'natural' vetting
that occurs during the 'climb' of experience/hiring/firing of personnel within departments is a TERRIBLE idea.

It should be completely abolished. It is literally made-to-fit for entrenching pay-to-play.

It should be completely investigated to sort the wheat from the criminal syndicate.
Start w/ the meta data.
Programs like Palantir can easily handle an analysis like this... piece of cake.
showing a 'weighted' chain of interconnections between members... emails, finances, bank transactions, appointments, assets etc. etc.

Easy to 'do'.... all the FBI needs is 'permission'/instruction.
see the problem?

Currently, there are 9936 SES positions allocated by OPM to agencies.

[goldenequity]

So how do you search for SES people? Appendix2 says

You have 2 options in the SES data base...
either Google Search feature
or
Download the PDFs by year and use 'Control F' to search out a name in each year/batch.

Google and I parted ways about 6 months ago & that includes Chrome & Adobe Flash so I don't/won't use ANY Google products.
I haven't decided yet to dwnload the PDFs but that is the way I would go.
If you look at the Plum Book you can get a feel for how intricate the payscales and massive the database is.

OPIR (Overhead Persistent Infrared Radar)

"Originally developed for missile detection and 'battle field awareness'...
the infrared 'system' evolved to provide near-real-time data products for a myriad of end users.
It now far exceeds the 'original intent' of its mission and highlights the extraordinary application of new geo-spatial systems."


Basically, if you're targeting Oil orUranium mining prospects...
You either 'wait' for 'seismic events' to occur naturally then analyze the location for 'telltale' uranium linked 'gasses' to emit
or
if your an 'insider' (think SES)
you can coordinate and 'create' a seismic event via a pre-planned 'weapons testing'.
You know the time. You know and 'target' the place.

Kompromat


kompromat, short for "compromising material", is damaging information about a politician or other public figure
used to create negative publicity, for blackmail, or for ensuring loyalty.
Kompromat may be acquired from various security services, or outrightly forged, and then publicized by use of a public relations official.

After he escaped from Al Qaeda in Syria, American photojournalist Matt Schrier investigated his own kidnapping and uncovered what he describes as a pattern of "betrayal" by FBI agents handling his case. Schrier is now asking hard questions of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who now leads the special counsel Russia probe, and former FBI Director James Comey who was fired by President Trump in May 2017.
"Not every FBI agent is bad. Some are very good people," Schrier told Fox News. "But the ones that are bad need to be weeded out. And the ones who let them be bad, and who turn their head, need to be exposed."
In an exclusive cable interview that first aired Monday on "The Story" with Martha MacCallum (http://www.foxnews.com/shows/the-story.html), Schrier went in depth, sharing emails, financial records and formal letters of complaint, which backed up allegations that after he was taken hostage in 2012, the FBI monitored his accounts as Al Qaeda terrorists used his money to buy at least a dozen computers and tablets.
While he was tortured and held by al Nusra, the brutal Al Qaeda franchise in Syria, Schrier claimed the FBI put intelligence gathering ahead of his personal security, hoping to track the computers and tablets to learn more about Al Qaeda recruits and future plots. After his harrowing escape, Schrier started demanding answers from the FBI, which at the time of his kidnapping was led by Mueller.


Since his return to the U.S. in mid-2013, Schrier shared documents with Fox News and expalined, "I faxed-- I emailed them, probably between my mother and my father and me, between 50 and 100 complaints."
Comey took over from Mueller in September 2013, and Schrier said the stonewalling continued. "I was emailing him questions. I was forwarding him all these emails. I was demanding answers from him," Schrier said. "And I never got anything back."
Schrier said he has been unable to obtain credit cards or open new bank accounts because Al Qaeda stole his identify and passwords. Unable to get a lease for an apartment, Schrier said his FBI case manager suggested he temporarily live in a New York City homeless shelter.
"I just got clean clothes without bed bugs. I don't want to go through a situation where I have to deal with lice and bed bugs again. Like, no thank you."

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced Wednesday he will review potential Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses by both the Justice Department and the FBI, following requests from Congress and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.


The Office of the Inspector General released a statement Wednesday outlining the start of the review.
“The OIG will initiate a review that will examine the Justice Department’s and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person,” the statement obtained by Fox News read. “As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source.”

Sexton: DOJ has been trying to hide information about FISA (http://video.foxnews.com/v/5752887502001/sexton-doj-has-been-trying-to-hide-information-about-fisa)

The OIG statement added that Horowitz also would “review the DOJ’s and FBI’s relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications.”
The statement continued, “If circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise during the course of the review.”

Newly uncovered text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page suggest a possible coordination between high-ranking officials at the Obama White House, CIA, FBI, Justice Department and former Senate Democratic leadership in the early stages of the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to GOP congressional investigators on Wednesday.
The investigators say the information provided to Fox News “strongly” suggests coordination between former President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, and CIA Director John Brennan — which they say would “contradict” the Obama administration’s public stance about its hand in the process.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (http://thehill.com/people/devin-nunes) (R-Calif.) is demanding the original FBI document that outlines the bureau's reasoning for opening a counterintelligence investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign's alleged connections to Russia.
His deadline for the DOJ and FBI to provide the unredacted document is April 11. In a letter sent Wednesday to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (http://thehill.com/people/rod-rosenstein) and FBI Director Christopher Wray, Nunes threatened to take legal action if the agencies do not comply, noting that the committee issued subpoenas in August (http://thehill.com/homenews/house/349337-house-intel-subpoenas-fbi-doj-over-trump-dossier) that "remain in force."
According to Nunes, the previous response to his request was a "heavily redacted version" of the document, which Nunes called "unsatisfactory."



Nunes also requested unrestricted access to four Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications the DOJ used to obtain a warrant to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Paige.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday agreed to allow additional access by the House Intelligence Committee to view four surveillance applications, calling it an "extraordinary accommodation."
The DOJ said in a letter to the committee that it will allow all members of both the House and Senate Intelligence committees private access to view the classified documents at the Justice Department, emphasizing "unique facts and circumstances."

The Justice Department failed to meet an initial deadline to give the House Judiciary Committee 1.2 million documents related to the charging decisions in the Hillary Clinton email investigation, possible abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility's recommendation to fire former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
A Republican Judiciary Committee aide told Fox News late Thursday that the Justice Department had "not yet" complied with the March 22 subpoena issued by committee chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. The aide added that the committee was "working with officials at DOJ to take immediate steps to comply with the subpoena and produce documents to the Committee."
A Justice Department official confirmed to Fox News that the department was "in ongoing communication with Chairman Goodlatte."

As criticism mounts for its delay in turning over documents detailing FBI investigations surrounding the 2016 presidential election to separate House and Senate Committees, the Department of Justice has invited committee members to review the files at its headquarters.
Assistant Attorney General Stephen E. Boyd sent a letter late Friday to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes inviting congressman and senators to privately view the documents.
“The Department considers this an extraordinary accommodation based on unique facts and circumstances,” Mr. Boyd wrote. “We are also extending this review opportunity o members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Department will be in contact to arrange appropriate review sessions in the near future.”

Chairman Nunes said in a statement via House Intel website (https://intelligence.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=878):

“After numerous unfulfilled requests for an Electronic Communication (EC) related to the opening of the FBI’s Russia counterintelligence probe, Chairman Trey Gowdy and I met this afternoon with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. During the meeting, we were finally given access to a version of the EC that contained the information necessary to advance the Committee’s ongoing investigation of the Department of Justice and FBI. Although the subpoenas issued by this Committee in August 2017 remain in effect, I’d like to thank Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein for his cooperation today.”


The 2-page document known as the “Electronic Communication” is what launched the investigation into the Trump-Russia collusion probe.
Nunes told Sara Carter (https://saraacarter.com/deadline-for-docs-nunes-threatens-to-impeach-rosenstein-and-wray/) the “Electronic Communication” is a central piece of information necessary to their ongoing investigation into the FBI and related matters.

In a letter sent to three Republican House committee chairmen Thursday evening, Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd wrote that the department is sending a classified version of the memos and an unclassified version.

House lawmakers are zeroing in on a meeting that German chancellor Angela Merkel held with President Obama at a key moment as one of the FISA warrants against Trump was set to expire. Lawmakers are aware of the role of foreign governments in collaborating with U.S. intelligence agencies in the Trump investigation as recently as 2017. Germany provided information beginning in 2015 to aide British spies and the Obama administration in compiling the Christopher Steele “dossier.”
Obama had been called out by the Drudge Report for visiting foreign leaders in Europe in the spring of 2017 right before President Trump visited those leaders in Europe. It turns out that one of those Obama meetings is now under scrutiny on Capitol Hill.
Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein gave a redacted document to Rep. Devin Nunes, showing two major redactions about the creation of the Trump “Dossier” and the launch of FISA warrants and Robert Mueller’s investigation during the 2016 campaign. The redactions were: “the name of a country and the name of a foreign agent who supplied information.”


Now we know: the country is Germany and the foreign agent was either Angela Merkel or someone who worked for Angela Merkel in foreign intelligence.
The redacted sections will be referencing one of the European countries and agents that share SIGINT (signal intelligence) to US Intelligence,” says Chuck Marler, a longtime agent of the FBI Special Surveillance Group under Robert Mueller, who is an official whistleblower in this case. (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/exclusive-fbi-whistleblower-mueller-lied-senate-intelligence-committee/)
SIGINT countries were involved in sharing information that helped the Christopher Steele dossier to come together. The Guardian reported in an amazingly under-covered article: (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/apr/13/british-spies-first-to-spot-trump-team-links-russia) “Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said. The European countries that passed on electronic intelligence – known as sigint – included Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia, a member of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance that also includes the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, also relayed material, one source said.”
So Germany helped build the dossier. When does Merkel re-emerge in this picture?
“Fast forward to April/May 2017, roughly the same time the fourth and final FISA warrant was running out (because the Carter Page story was determined false). Rosenstein and McCabe were in desperate need of renewed help from intelligence to keep the Russian Collusion narrative alive,” Marler reports.
“Well they weren’t going to get help from the CIA because Pompeo was now CIA Director and wouldn’t help with a faux collusion narrative. In comes Obama to the rescue. He meets with Merkel in private (the US no longer monitored her communications because of the previous mishap) to beg for some more Sigint information to keep the collusion narrative alive. Conveniently he meets her hours prior to Trump’s meeting and his stay in her heavily monitored territory.”

In response to the Comey memos, Congressional Committee chairs Devin Nunes (R-CA), Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Trey Gowdy (R-SC) fired off a scathing rebuke (https://intelligence.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=879), in which they made it abundantly clear that the Mueller investigation is a farce based on yet another example of the FBI using a flimsy document to launch a politically motivated investigation.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/nunes-goodlatte-gowdy-comey-009-01-800x416_0.jpg
"These memos are significant for both what is in them and what is not," begins the joint statement, which goes on to completely dress down the FBI and James Comey:


Former Director Comey's memos show the President made clear he wanted allegations of collusion, coordination, and conspiracy between his campaign and Russia fully investigated.



The memos also made clear the ‘cloud’ President Trump wanted lifted was not the Russian interference in the 2016 election cloud, rather it was the salacious, unsubstantiated allegations related to personal conduct leveled in the dossier.



The memos also show former Director Comey never wrote that he felt obstructed or threatened. "he never once mentioned the most relevant fact of all, which was whether he felt obstructed in his investigation."



The memos also make certain what has become increasingly clear of late: former Director Comey has at least two different standards in his interactions with others. He chose not to memorialize conversations with President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, Secretary Clinton, Andrew McCabe or others, but he immediately began to memorialize conversations with President Trump. It is significant former Director Comey made no effort to memorialize conversations with former Attorney General Lynch despite concerns apparently significant enough to warrant his unprecedented appropriation of the charging decision away from her and the Department of Justice in July of 2016.
These memos also lay bare the notion that former Director Comey is not motivated by animus. He was willing to work for someone he deemed morally unsuited for office, capable of lying, requiring of personal loyalty, worthy of impeachment, and sharing the traits of a mob boss. Former Director Comey was willing to overlook all of the aforementioned characteristics in order to keep his job. In his eyes, the real crime was his own firing.



The memos show Comey was blind to biases within the FBI and had terrible judgment with respect to his deputy Andrew McCabe. On multiple occasions he, in his own words, defended the character of McCabe after President Trump questioned McCabe.



Finally, former Director Comey leaked at least one of these memos for the stated purpose of spurring the appointment of Special Counsel, yet he took no steps to spur the appointment of Special Counsel when he had significant concerns about the objectivity of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Loretta Lynch.



"As we have consistently said, rather than making a criminal case for obstruction or interference with an ongoing investigation, these memos would be Defense Exhibit A should such a charge be made."

In response to the memo's release, President Trump exclaimed over Twitter:
"James Comey Memos just out and show clearly that there was NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION." adding "Also, he leaked classified information. WOW! Will the Witch Hunt continue?"

James Comey Memos just out and show clearly that there was NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION. Also, he leaked classified information. WOW! Will the Witch Hunt continue?

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2018 (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/987173366401585155?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Then again, given that the Special Counsel has gone from investigating whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - to raiding Trump's lawyer over documents related to paying off a porn star, perhaps Mueller's probe is getting a bit long in the tooth...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general is now conducting an investigation into classification issues concerning the "Comey memos" leaked to the New York Times by former FBI Director James Comey.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/comey%20richman.jpg
Sources tell the Wall St. Journal that at least two of the memos which Comey leaked to his "good friend," Columbia Law Professor Daniel Richman, contained information that officials now consider classified - prompting the review by the Office of the Inspector General, headed by Michael Horowitz.

Of those two memos, Mr. Comey himself redacted elements of one that he knew to be classified to protect secrets before he handed the documents over to his friend. He determined at the time that another memo contained no classified information, but after he left the Federal Bureau of Investigation, bureau officials upgraded it to “confidential,” the lowest level of classification. -WSJ (http://archive.is/ZeZQI)
Comey told Congressional investigators that he considered the memos to be personal rather than government documents. The memos - leaked through Richman, were a major catalyst in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's decision to appoint former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

Columbia Professor Comey Leaked Classified Memos To Claims He was Secret Undercover Squirrel for FBI
The Columbia law professor James Comey used as a go-between last year to leak the contents of sensitive memos to the media confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday that he previously worked as a “special government employee” (SGE) for Comey’s FBI on an unpaid basis.
The professor, Daniel Richman, confirmed the special status in response to an inquiry from Fox News, while referring other questions, including on the scope of his work, to the FBI.
“I did indeed have SGE status with the Bureau (for no pay),” Richman wrote in an email.
Richman emerged last year as the former FBI director’s contact for leaking memos documenting his private discussions with President Trump – memos that are now the subject of an inspector general review over the presence of classified material. Sources familiar with Richman’s status at the FBI told Fox News that he was assigned to “special projects” by Comey, and had a security clearance as well as badge access to the building. Richman’s status was the subject of a Memorandum of Understanding.
Lawmakers are only beginning to raise questions about Richman’s status. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,” said the information about Richman and his special FBI status first emerged during closed-door testimony by Comey’s former chief of staff James Rybicki before the House oversight and judiciary committees.
“[D]uring that deposition, it was brought out that Daniel Richman, the guy who information was leaked through to The New York Times, had this special status called special government employee status, where he could sort of come and go in the FBI,” Jordan said. He said he could not speak to the significance, but “it seems kind of interesting that the guy who Comey leaks to is a good friend, who had this sort of unfettered access into the FBI.”
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., also raised questions about the status.

These two stooges think this helps Comey? Nope. Now Comey's pal is on the hook too. He had better protection as a professor who didn't know the Memos were classified. Now he is co-conspirator. Morons. https://t.co/klCJfigOqC

The revelation that former CIA Director John Brennan made a secret trip to Moscow in March 2016, meeting with the Russian Federal Security Service (today’s version of the Soviet KGB), has heightened speculation that Brennan may have been a key figure behind the Trump-Russian collusion story.

The American Thinker, in a story on Brennan's’s secret trip to Russia, believes that it is a real possibility that “John Brennan himself colluded with the Russians to help Hillary win to guarantee his continued tenure as CIA director,” noting that the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele “was used by Brennan and others as a pretext for a Trump investigation bonanza.”

Buried within a newly declassified congressional report on Russian meddling (https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG00/20180322/108023/HRPT-115-1.pdf) in the 2016 U.S. elections is a shocking revelation: former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper not only leaked information about the infamous Steele dossier and high-level government briefings about it to CNN, he also may have lied to Congress about the matter.

In one of the findings within the 253-page report, the House intelligence committee wrote that Clapper leaked details of a dossier briefing given to then-President-elect Donald Trump to CNN’s Jake Tapper, lied to Congress about the leak, and was rewarded with a CNN contract a few months later.


“Clapper flatly denied ‘discussing[ing] the dossier [compiled by Steele] or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists,'” the committee found.
When asked directly whether he had ever discussed the dossier with any journalists, Clapper replied that he had not, according to a transcript of the proceedings:

MR. ROONEY: Did you discuss the dossier or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists?

MR. CLAPPER: No.
The former DNI later changed his story after he was confronted specifically about his communications with Jake Tapper of CNN.
“Clapper subsequently acknowledged discussing the ‘dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper,’ and admitted that he might have spoken with other journalists about the same topic,” the report continued. “Clapper’s discussion with Tapper took place in early January 2017, around the time IC leaders briefed President Obama and President-elect Trump, on ‘the Christopher Steele information,’ a two-page summary of which was ‘enclosed in’ the highly-classified version of the ICA,” or intelligence community assessment.
The briefing of Trump by U.S. intelligence chiefs was held on January 6. CNN published its story on the briefing (https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/donald-trump-intelligence-report-russia/index.html), based on anonymous leaks from “two national security officials,” on January 10. BuzzFeed published the full dossier (https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-deep-ties-to-russia?utm_term=.jtZkNK4nZd#.mnX6ya7Yj0), which was jointly funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (https://www.axios.com/clinton-campaign-dnc-backed-research-for-trump-russia-dossier-1513306427-8feadb36-a1be-41e8-8f29-1e654d1c7112.html), minutes after the CNN story was published.

The revelation that Clapper was responsible for leaking details of both the dossier and briefings to two presidents on the matter is significant, because former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey wrote in one of four memos that he leaked (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4442900-Ex-FBI-Director-James-Comey-s-memos.html) that the briefing of Trump on salacious and unverified allegations from the dossier was necessary because “CNN had them and were looking for a news hook.”
The congressional report on Russian interference noted that it was this very briefing of Trump that multiple media organizations used as an excuse to publish the unverified dossier.

Congressional investigators will be sifting through them and piecing them together with previously released text messages to see if there is further evidence of political bias from two people acting in roles which required the utmost impartiality.

Interestingly, one of the text messages refers to opening "a case we've been waiting on" and doing it "now while Andy is acting."

New texts between Strzok and Page show their dismay at the firing of Comey & in the immediate aftermath of his firing on May 9, 2017, Strzok texted: "We need to open the case we've been waiting on now while Andy is acting." What case was he referring to? https://t.co/2R7EU92LIv pic.twitter.com/1tHiYKrgSi (https://t.co/1tHiYKrgSi)

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has pushed back the estimated completion date of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents pertaining to its communications with the security firm that examined the Democratic National Committee’s hacked servers to October.
The Washington Free Beacon submitted the FOIA request in July 2017 with the FBI seeking all communication between the bureau and CrowdStrike, Inc., the California-based cyber security firm that examined the DNC’s servers following the infiltration that led to the release of John Podesta’s emails. The FBI said in December the documents should be available by March.
The FBI, which was never granted access to the DNC’s servers for inspection, instead relied on the third-party firm that was brought in by the DNC for information regarding the compromised network who concluded that Russia was behind the hack.

Conservative House allies of President Donald Trump (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics-government/donald-trump-PEBSL000163-topic.html) have drafted articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the ongoing special counsel probe, setting up a possible GOP (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics-government/republican-party-ORGOV0000004-topic.html) showdown over the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The document, which was obtained by The Washington Post, underscores the growing chasm between congressional Republican leaders, who have maintained for months that Special Counsel Robert Mueller (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/crime-law-justice/robert-s.-mueller-iii-PEPLT0008908-topic.html) should be allowed to proceed, and rank-and-file GOP lawmakers who have repeatedly battled the Justice Department (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/crime-law-justice/u.s.-department-of-justice-ORGOV0000160-topic.html) during the past year.
The draft articles, which one of its authors called a "last resort," would be unlikely to garner significant support in Congress (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics-government/government/u.s.-congress-ORGOV0000131-topic.html). But it could serve as a provocative political weapon for conservatives in their standoff with Mueller and the Justice Department.
Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics-government/freedom-caucus-ORGPOL00005-topic.html) - led by Rep. Mark Meadow, R-N.C., a Trump confidant - finalized the draft in recent days. It came after weeks of disputes with Rosenstein over the Justice Department's response to congressional requests for documents about the decisions and behavior of federal law-enforcement officials working on the Russia investigation and other federal probes, including the investigation into 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics-government/government/hillary-clinton-PEPLT007433-topic.html)'s email server.
Meadows acknowledged the draft in an interview Monday, calling the one-page document "a last resort option, if the Department of Justice fails to respond" for his requests for more information.
"My frustrations about their inability to respond to simple requests could warrant further action," Meadows said, adding that many of his colleagues are nearing a breaking point with Rosenstein.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein pushed back against his House Republican critics on Tuesday, warning that the Justice Department is "not going to be extorted" amid threats that he could be impeached."There have been people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time, and I think they should understand by now the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted," Rosenstein said at an event at the Newseum in Washington.

The special counsel's office wants two more months before it looks toward sentencing former national security adviser Michael Flynn (http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/31/politics/robert-mueller-michael-flynn/index.html), who has pleaded guilty to lying to investigators and is cooperating in the Russia probe."Due to the status of the special counsel's investigation, the parties do not believe that this matter is ready to be scheduled for a sentencing hearing at this time," Robert Mueller's prosecutors and Flynn's lawyers told the DC federal court on Tuesday.
Flynn pleaded guilty five months ago. Prosecutors have previously delayed scheduling his sentencing.

A judge sharply questioned whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller overstepped his authority by charging Paul Manafort with crimes unrelated to Russian election interference while also suggesting that the onetime Trump campaign chairman was indicted to coerce his cooperation against the president.
U.S. District Judge T. S. Ellis III expressed deep skepticism Friday about whether Mueller went too far in signing a bank- and tax-fraud indictment against Manafort. Ellis questioned how Mueller could prosecute financial crimes dating back a decade without charging Manafort for his election activities.
“I don’t see how this indictment has anything to do with anything the special prosecutor is authorized to investigate,” Ellis said at a hearing on a motion by Manafort to dismiss the case. The hearing ended without a ruling, and Ellis didn’t say when he would decide the matter in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.
The judge’s unusually provocative remarks and questions don’t necessarily indicate how he will rule, but they put Mueller’s team on the defensive. The special counsel’s office was given two weeks to deliver an unredacted version of a Justice Department memo authorizing Mueller’s work.
A dismissal would be a blow to Mueller as he faces political attacks by President Donald Trump, congressional Republicans and conservative media. Still, Manafort faces an indictment in Washington on charges that he laundered millions of dollars and failed to register as a foreign agent of Ukraine.


Ellis said it appeared that prosecutors were using the indictment of Manafort to pressure him to cooperate against Trump. Manafort, 69, has pleaded not guilty and disputes Mueller’s assertion that he violated U.S. laws when he worked for a decade as a political consultant for pro-Russian groups in Ukraine.
“You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud,” Ellis told four prosecutors working for Mueller. “You really care about what information he might give you about Mr. Trump and what might lead to his impeachment or prosecution.”
Manafort attorney Kevin Downing argued that Mueller overstepped his May 2017 appointment order, which directed him to pursue links between Russia and the Trump campaign, as well as “any matter that arose or may arise directly” from the investigation. He said that Mueller improperly took over existing Justice Department investigations into Manafort without adequately explaining what connection it had to the Russia probe.

At the hearing, Justice Department attorney Michael Dreeben argued that Mueller acted properly and always consulted with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is overseeing the investigation, about the steps he was taking. He pointed to an Aug. 2 memo that said Manafort may have “committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials” to interfere in the election, and that he illegally handled payments he got from the pro-Russian Ukrainian government.


Most of the three-page memo is blacked out, and Dreeben said it wasn’t necessary to share the rest of it because it didn’t relate to Manafort. But Ellis ordered that prosecutors give him the full memo within two weeks, saying he’ll determine whether the explanation of why Manafort was under investigation is adequate.
Mueller’s office took over an investigation of Manafort that had been conducted by prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia, where Ellis sits. The judge appeared impatient with Dreeben, who has argued more than 100 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Ellis repeatedly interrupted Dreeben as he pressed for an explanation of Mueller’s authority.
“It covers bank fraud in 2005 and 2007?” Ellis said. “Tell me how. How does that have to do with links or coordination with Russia and Trump?”
Dreeben said the investigations were “folded together with our overall examination of Mr. Manafort’s conduct,” and he was indicted based on information developed by Mueller as they followed the trail of money that left Ukraine.
“This indictment didn’t arise from your investigation,” Ellis said. “It arose from the pre-existing investigation.”

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is blasting the FBI and Department of Justice for “excessive and sloppy redactions” amid efforts to unseal a redacted section having to do with the FBI’s interview of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
“The excessive and sloppy redactions applied to the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia report deny the American people the opportunity to know and understand the report’s full findings and conclusions,” Nunes told Fox News.
A key section of the report concludes FBI agents “did not detect any deception during Flynn’s interview” despite his eventual guilty plea in the special counsel’s Russia probe for making false statements.
A source familiar with the House Intelligence report told Fox News that heavily redacted sections on pages 53 and 54 back up the report’s conclusion about Flynn, and the source challenged former FBI Director James Comey’s public statements on the issue.
In his interview last week on Fox News’ “Special Report,” Comey denied that he ever told lawmakers his FBI agents didn’t believe Flynn intentionally lied.
“No, I saw that in the media,” Comey said. “Someone misunderstood something I said. I didn’t believe that and didn’t say that.”
The House Intelligence Committee report, which was disputed by Democrats and released over their objections, provides virtually no public information to back up its conclusion about Flynn’s interactions with the agents – as most of the section explaining that finding is redacted.


“The deliberate withholding of this vital information from the public is inexplicable and intolerable,” Nunes said. “Protecting executive branch officials and agencies from embarrassment is not a valid reason to hide information and will not be accepted by Congress.”
Speaking to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson after the report’s release, Nunes said it was impossible for Comey to know what investigators found because so many sections were blacked out.
“Mr. Comey probably never read our report, likely because the Department of Justice and FBI redacted so much of it, that if you go online and try to read our report, you’ll see that much of it you can’t even read,” Nunes said. “So he doesn’t know what we have.”

Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s widely anticipated testimony next week before the House Oversight Committee has been postponed, as the Justice Department IG has pursued new leads in his review of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, according to a congressional letter and sources familiar with the matter.
“It is of the utmost importance that your review be as fulsome, complete and unimpeded as possible,” Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the chairman of the committee, wrote in a recent letter to Horowitz obtained by Fox News.
Horowitz was scheduled to appear before the committee on May 8. But Gowdy told Horowitz he wants to reschedule his testimony “as close to the day the report is finalized as is practicable.”
Gowdy said the decision to postpone is based on “the representations” in an April 23 letter from Horowitz.


The developments suggest Horowitz is still working to complete his review of the FBI and DOJ's handling of the Clinton case. Sources familiar with the review have told Fox News that Horowitz has continued to pursue new leads and witnesses in recent weeks.
During a speech Friday, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said he expects Horowitz’s review will be finalized soon.
“Within the next few weeks, I anticipate that our inspector general will complete a comprehensive, fair and nonpartisan report that answers many questions about how the Department of Justice handled a high-profile investigation during the last presidential campaign,” Rosenstein said. “We will learn from it, and our Department will do better in the future.”

Two FBI officials who have faced scrutiny in recent months resigned from the bureau on Friday, sources familiar with their departures have confirmed to CNN.Lisa Page, who served as an FBI lawyer and close adviser to former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, voluntarily resigned Friday, a source close to Page told CNN.
Page came under increasing attack after her text messages with FBI special agent Peter Strzok (https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/26/politics/missing-strzok-page-text-messages/index.html) criticizing President Donald Trump came to light last winter. She briefly served on special counsel Robert Mueller's team last summer before returning to her duties at the FBI.
The text messages between Strzok and her became fodder for the President and Republican lawmakers who leveled accusations (https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/21/politics/second-strzok-text-production/index.html) that some members of the FBI working on the Russia probe are biased against Trump.
James A. Baker, the former general counsel for the FBI and one of former FBI Director James Comey's closest advisers, also resigned Friday, according to a source familiar with Baker's departure. A second source familiar with Baker's thinking said his departure was unrelated to Page's resignation and that hers came as a surprise to him.

Lawyers for the company accused of funding Russia’s election interference trolls are demanding that special counsel Robert Mueller turn over reams of information, including the identities of informants, details of any electronic surveillance, and a list of “each and every instance” since 1945 in which the U.S. “engaged in operations to interfere with elections and political processes in any foreign country.”

Special counsel Robert Mueller's office appears to be in an early stalemate in its efforts to bring a criminal case against Russians allegedly involved in Moscow's efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election. Although one Russian company indicted by Mueller in February, Concord Management and Consulting, has US attorneys and a court hearing scheduled, the special counsel's team hasn't been able to reach the company or its co-defendants.
The Russian government's top legal office wouldn't accept paperwork from US law enforcement in the case, and the company has already hit back at Mueller by demanding more evidence and information.
The tit-for-tat was revealed in a court filing Friday when Mueller's prosecutors asked to reschedule a hearing about the criminal case against 13 Russians and associated companies, who allegedly influenced the election using social media. The hearing was set for May 9.
The situation shows how difficult it will be for Mueller to bring Russians to justice for allegedly interfering in the 2016 election.
The prosecutors said in Friday's filing that they don't know whether one of the companies indicted alongside the Russians was served with a summons in the case.
Mueller's team has tried to reach the Russians, first with the summons delivered to the office of the prosecutor general of Russia on March 20. They have also tried to reach the Russians through the power of international treaties. The Russian law enforcement office declined to accept the summonses, US prosecutors said.
"To the government's knowledge, no further steps have been taken within Russia to effectuate service," prosecutors told the judge in DC federal court on Friday.

The FBI is refusing to pursue work-related text messages and emails sent on the personal devices of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page - the FBI "lovebirds" discovered to harbor extreme political bias for Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump while actively involved in cases against each candidate during the 2016 US election. Clinton was of course exonerated by the FBI despite overwhelming evidence of criminal conduct, while Trump's entire presidency has been tainted by the spectre of unproven Russian collusion.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/grassleymad_0.jpg
Over 50,000 text messages between Strzok and Page were discovered by the Department of Justice's internal watchdog, the Office of Inspector General (OIG), leading to their removal from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation - which has since devolved into trying to embarrass the President over allegedly paying a porn star not to discuss consensual sex. Of note, Page tendered her resignation (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-05/fbi-chaos-comey-caught-lie-over-flynn-investigation-anti-trump-lovebird-lisa-page) on Friday.
In a Wednesday letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that the FBI was not "obligated" to collect all communications between employees, and would not be pursuing communications Strzok and Page sent to each other on their personal devices.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/strzok_0.jpg
In response, Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) went nuclear - reminding Wray in a Friday letter (https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-05-04%20CEG%20to%20FBI%20(Strzok%20Page%20Records).pd f) cc'd to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that "Although, as your letter notes, the FBI is not "obligated" to collect all communications between employees, it is obligated to collect and preserve federal records."
Grassley goes on to note that previously released text messages between Strzok and Page "show substantial reason to believe government work was performed on non-government systems during the course of a high-profile investigation," and that those communications could prove vital to the Committee's investigation.

The work-related communications on nongovernment systems could shed more light on how the FBI handled the Clinton investigation and would constitute federal records that the FBI would be obligated to retrieve and preserve under the Federal Records Act. -Sen. Grassley to FBI Director Wray
The letter then provides several examples in which Strzok and Page explicitly referred to exchanging work-related information over their personal devices.
"For example, in two text messages Strzok said to Page:"

Gmailed you two drafts of what I’m thinking of sending Bill, would appreciate your thoughts. Second (more recent) is updated so you can skip the first.
...
Yep. Sent something to your gmail, work-related. Think I’m going to pull here and send to Kortan….
"In another text message, Strzok and Page appear to use the encrypted iMessage application on their personal Apple devices to discuss work-related material:"

Strzok: Want to imsg it to me, or want to do it in person?
Page: It’s not that sensitive.
Strzok: Ok. You can imsg just for convenience of typing, too, if you want
...
Strzok: And I have no good, awful, sh*tty terrible (work) news. I can’t say it here, and you can’t share with Andy (yet). I’m upset.
Page: Can you share it on imsg?
Strzok: Yes just sent[.]8
Grassley then excoriates the FBI - comparing Strzok and Page's use of personal devices for work purposes to Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information on her personal server - which Strzok and Page were investigating.
"Under 18 U.S.C. § 2071, it is illegal to willfully and unlawfully conceal, remove, or destroy a federal record. Secretary Clinton alienated thousands of federal records when she used a nongovernment server and email for official work, many of which were deleted rather than returned to the State Department when the Department requested them. Ironically, as FBI employees tasked with investigating Clinton’s similar conduct, Strzok and Page appear to have used nongovernment systems for official work as well. This Committee has yet to receive a satisfactory explanation as to why the FBI apparently let Secretary Clinton off the hook for multiple § 2071 violations. It is disturbing that even at this late date, and with all the litigation surrounding Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server for official business, the FBI seems similarly uninterested in even attempting to retrieve federal records of its own employees that appear to have been alienated as well."
Grassley then asks three questions of Wray, noting that he expects the response to be unclassified:


Why has the FBI not requested from Ms. Page or Mr. Strzok any official work-related material from their personal devices and email accounts?
Why has the FBI not conducted searches of non-FBI-issued communications devices or non-FBI email accounts associated with Mr. Strzok or Ms. Page for official work-related material?
The FBI’s May 3, 2018, response letter also failed to answer questions 1-5, 8, and 11. Please provide answers and the requested documentation by the deadline.

Politico's Gerstein notes that by defending against the charges, “Concord could force prosecutors to turn over discovery about how the case was assembled as well as evidence that might undermine the prosecution’s theories.”
In a mad scramble to put the brakes on the case, Mueller's team tried to say that Concord never formally accepted the court summons related to the case, wrapping themselves in a "cloud of confusion" as Powerline puts it. “Until the Court has an opportunity to determine if Concord was properly served, it would be inadvisable to conduct an initial appearance and arraignment at which important rights will be communicated and a plea entertained.”
The Russians hit back against Mueller's attempt to delay - filing a response (http://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_152565547918812&key=abd7fb656f4225b209f52eeeaddc9f25&libId=jgvjq6t90101xr40000DA1ccofad5ya41d&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.powerlineblog.com%2Farchives% 2F2018%2F05%2Fmueller-would-prefer-not-to.php%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dsw%26 utm_campaign%3Dsw&v=1&out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.politico.com%2Ff%2F%3Fid%3D0 0000163-3131-d4e8-a5ff-b7732a9e0000&title=Mueller%20would%20prefer%20not%20to%20%5BWit h%20Comment%20by%20John%5D%20%7C%20Power%20Line&txt=here) on Friday to let the court know that “[Concord] voluntarily appeared through counsel as provided for in [the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure], and further intends to enter a plea of not guilty. [Concord] has not sought a limited appearance nor has it moved to quash the summons. As such, the briefing sought by the Special Counsel’s motion is pettifoggery.”
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/petifogger_0.JPG
And the Judge agreed...

A federal judge has rejected special counsel Robert Mueller’s request to delay the first court hearing in a criminal case charging three Russian companies and 13 Russian citizens with using social media and other means to foment strife among Americans in advance of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
In a brief order Saturday evening, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich offered no explanation for her decision to deny a request prosecutors made Friday to put off the scheduled Wednesday arraignment for Concord Management and Consulting, one of the three firms charged in the case. -Politico (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/04/mueller-russia-interference-election-case-delay-570627)
In other words, Mueller was just denied the opportunity to kick the can down the road, and will likely be forced to produce the requested evidence or withdraw the indictment, potentially jeopardizing the PR aspect of the entire "Trump collusion" probe.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes said Sunday he will be pushing to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions in contempt this week for not complying with a subpoena.

.@DevinNunes (https://twitter.com/DevinNunes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw): We have to move quickly to hold AG Jeff Sessions in contempt, and that’s what I’m going to press for this week pic.twitter.com/QsPdcrVSwq (https://t.co/QsPdcrVSwq)
— FOX & friends (@foxandfriends) May 6, 2018 (https://twitter.com/foxandfriends/status/993132022838083585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
The California Republican said his committee sent a letter requesting classified information regarding its probe into FISA abuses and counterintelligence investigations, including the targeting of Americans like former Trump campaign official Carter Page, but it was ignored.
After attempting to subpoena the classified information last week, Mr. Nunes discovered the Justice Department will not comply.
“We have to move quickly to hold the Attorney General of the United States in contempt and that’s what I want to press for this week,” Mr. Nunes told Fox News on Sunday.

FBI and national intelligence officials warned the White House last week that information requested by House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes could put a top-secret intelligence source at risk, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/risk-to-intelligence-source-who-aided-russia-investigation-at-center-of-latest-showdown-between-nunes-and-justice-dept/2018/05/08/d6fb66f8-5223-11e8-abd8-265bd07a9859_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c3ed0f2d9847)The Post, citing multiple individuals familiar with the interaction and the role of the intelligence source, reported that top White House officials, with President Donald Trump's approval, opted to support a decision to withhold the information and were persuaded that handing over Department of Justice documents "could risk lives by potentially exposing the source." The newspaper reported that the person is a US citizen who has been a source of intelligence to both the CIA and the FBI.
According to the report, "information developed by the intelligence source" has been turned over to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, though it is not known whether Trump was aware of that fact.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and fellow GOP committee member Trey Gowdy have been invited to the Justice Department for a classified briefing Thursday about the latest document request related to the Russia investigation, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.Talks between the Justice Department and Nunes have been intensifying over the last day as the two sides try to cut a deal and avoid a standoff that could lead to House Republicans ultimately pursuing contempt charges against Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The White House, which has thus far sided with the Justice Department over Nunes, has also been involved in the talks, multiple sources say. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and another top Justice Department official were seen leaving the White House on Tuesday evening.
Nunes and Rosenstein also discussed the matter over the phone Tuesday evening, according to sources briefed on the matter.

A government watchdog group released new emails (http://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/JW-v-DOJ-Comey-testimony-records-00220-8.pdf) on Thursday that revealed former FBI Director James Comey seemingly coordinated his testimony last year before the Senate Intelligence Committee with special counsel Robert Mueller.
Top-level FBI officials advised Comey to "consult" with Mueller before testifying in front of any congressional committees regarding the Trump administration firing him as FBI Director and alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Journalist Sara Carter (https://saraacarter.com/former-fbi-director-comey-consulted-with-mueller-on-russia-testimony/) notes:

It is the first time evidence reveals there was coordination between the Special Counsel and Comey in the long drawn out controversial Mueller investigation.

Shortly after Comey was fired, his then Chief of Staff James Rybicki sent an email to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI Deputy Director David L. Bowdich, former FBI General Counsel James A. Baker, and others that said:

Please see a DRAFT response to Director Comey (below). I will hold pending further direction….
Director:
In response to your emails below we have consulted with executive management here, including the General Counsel, and recommend the following:


That your counsel convey any acceptance or declinations to invitations to testify directly to the Committees.
That your counsel consult with Special Counsel Mueller to determine the timing of any such testimony and,
The Office of General Counsel stands ready to discuss with you in consultation with the Department of Justice and the Special Counsel, institutional privileges or prerogatives that may be presented by any such testimony.

Judicial Watch reported that sources have indicated that Comey's "opening statement and subsequent testimony were coordinated with Mueller."
Comey revealed at the hearing that he intentionally leaked his memos that allegedly documented his interactions with Trump, which contained classified information so that a special counsel would be appointed.

"I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter," Comey said (https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/19/politics/comey-russia-investigation-trump/index.html) during his testimony. "Didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons. I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. I asked a close friend to do it."
Weighing in on the newly released emails, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton slammed Comey for his actions.
"These documents show that James Comey, who was fired by the president, nevertheless had easy, friendly access to the FBI as he prepped his infamous anti-Trump testimony to the Senate," Fitton said. "This collusion led to Comey’s attacking President Trump and misusing FBI records as part of a vendetta against the president."

On Tuesday, the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/risk-to-intelligence-source-who-aided-russia-investigation-at-center-of-latest-showdown-between-nunes-and-justice-dept/2018/05/08/d6fb66f8-5223-11e8-abd8-265bd07a9859_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.5335aeb2a7a9) reported that Nunes was denied access to the information on the grounds that it "could risk lives by potentially exposing the source, a U.S. citizen who has provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI."
After the White House caved to Rosenstein and Nunes was barred from seeing the documents, it also emerged that this same intelligence had already been shared with Special Counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 US election.
On Wednesday afternoon, however, news emerged that Nunes and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) would receive a classified Thursday briefing (http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/386998-nunes-gowdy-to-get-classified-briefing-on-mueller-documents) at the DOJ on the documents. This is, to put it lightly, incredibly significant.
Why? Because it appears that the FBI may have had a mole embedded in the Trump campaign.
In a bombshell op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Kimberly Strassel shares a few key insights about recent developments. Perhaps we should start with the ending and let you take it from there. Needless to say Strassel's claims, if true, would have wide ranging implications for the CIA, FBI, DOJ and former Obama administration officials.
Strassel concludes:

"I believe I know the name of the informant, but my intelligence sources did not provide it to me and refuse to confirm it. It would therefore be irresponsible to publish it."

About That FBI ‘Source’
Did the bureau engage in outright spying against the 2016 Trump campaign?
The Department of Justice lost its latest battle with Congress Thursday when it allowed House Intelligence Committee members to view classified documents about a top-secret intelligence source that was part of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign. Even without official confirmation of that source’s name, the news so far holds some stunning implications.
Among them is that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation outright hid critical information from a congressional investigation. In a Thursday press conference, Speaker Paul Ryan bluntly noted that Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes’s request for details on this secret source was “wholly appropriate,” “completely within the scope” of the committee’s long-running FBI investigation, and “something that probably should have been answered a while ago.” Translation: The department knew full well it should have turned this material over to congressional investigators last year, but instead deliberately concealed it.
House investigators nonetheless sniffed out a name, and Mr. Nunes in recent weeks issued a letter and a subpoena demanding more details. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s response was to double down—accusing the House of “extortion” and delivering a speech in which he claimed that “declining to open the FBI’s files to review” is a constitutional “duty.” Justice asked the White House to back its stonewall. And it even began spinning that daddy of all superspook arguments—that revealing any detail about this particular asset could result in “loss of human lives.”
This is desperation, and it strongly suggests that whatever is in these files is going to prove very uncomfortable to the FBI.
The bureau already has some explaining to do. Thanks to the Washington Post’s unnamed law-enforcement leakers, we know Mr. Nunes’s request deals with a “top secret intelligence source” of the FBI and CIA, who is a U.S. citizen and who was involved in the Russia collusion probe. When government agencies refer to sources, they mean people who appear to be average citizens but use their profession or contacts to spy for the agency. Ergo, we might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.
This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about, which was bad enough. Obama political appointees rampantly “unmasked” Trump campaign officials to monitor their conversations, while the FBI played dirty with its surveillance warrant against Carter Page, failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that its supporting information came from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now we find it may have also been rolling out human intelligence, John Le Carré style, to infiltrate the Trump campaign.
Which would lead to another big question for the FBI: When? The bureau has been doggedly sticking with its story that a tip in July 2016 about the drunken ramblings of George Papadopoulos launched its counterintelligence probe. Still, the players in this affair—the FBI, former Director Jim Comey, the Steele dossier authors—have been suspiciously vague on the key moments leading up to that launch date. When precisely was the Steele dossier delivered to the FBI? When precisely did the Papadopoulos information come in?
And to the point, when precisely was this human source operating? Because if it was prior to that infamous Papadopoulos tip, then the FBI isn’t being straight. It would mean the bureau was spying on the Trump campaign prior to that moment. And that in turn would mean that the FBI had been spurred to act on the basis of something other than a junior campaign aide’s loose lips.
We also know that among the Justice Department’s stated reasons for not complying with the Nunes subpoena was its worry that to do so might damage international relationships. This suggests the “source” may be overseas, have ties to foreign intelligence, or both. That’s notable, given the highly suspicious role foreigners have played in this escapade. It was an Australian diplomat who reported the Papadopoulos conversation. Dossier author Christopher Steele is British, used to work for MI6, and retains ties to that spy agency as well as to a network of former spooks. It was a former British diplomat who tipped off Sen. John McCain to the dossier. How this “top secret” source fits into this puzzle could matter deeply.
I believe I know the name of the informant, but my intelligence sources did not provide it to me and refuse to confirm it. It would therefore be irresponsible to publish it. But what is clear is that we’ve barely scratched the surface of the FBI’s 2016 behavior, and the country will never get the straight story until President Trump moves to declassify everything possible. It’s time to rip off the Band-Aid.

Paul Sperry made another titillating tweet Friday morning, in which he writes:
"DEVELOPING: A major new front is opening in the political espionage scandal. In summer 2016, Brennan with his FBI liaison Strzok, along with help from Kerry @ State, were trying to set Russian espionage traps for minor players in the Trump campaign through cultivated intel assets"

DEVELOPING: A major new front is opening in the political espionage scandal. In summer 2016, Brennan with his FBI liaison Strzok, along with help from Kerry @ State, were trying to set Russian espionage traps for minor players in the Trump campaign through cultivated intel assets
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) May 11, 2018 (https://twitter.com/paulsperry_/status/994981427044372480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) As we reported in March (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-07/john-kerry-state-dept-crosshairs-house-intel-committee-enters-phase-two), Nunes and the House Intelligence Committee was investigating the Obama State Department under John Kerry for its involvement in the dissemination of the unverified "Steele Dossier," along with a second anti-Trump dossier written by Clinton confidant Cody Shearer. Nunes referred to this as "Phase 2" of his committee's probe into Russian influence in the 2016 US election.
Nunes is also investigating whether former CIA director John Brennan perjured himself during Congressional testimony about the Steele Dossier. As Paul Sperry wrote in February:

In his May 2017 testimony before the intelligence panel, Brennan emphatically denied the dossier factored into the intelligence community’s publicly released conclusion last year that Russia meddled in the 2016 election “to help Trump’s chances of victory.”
Brennan also swore that he did not know who commissioned the anti-Trump research document (excerpt here), even though senior national security and counterintelligence officials at the Justice Department and FBI knew the previous year that the dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign. -RealClear Investigations (https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2018/02/11/former_cia_director_john_brennan_investigated_for_ perjury.html)
So, if Sperry's tweet is correct, the Obama State department, CIA, and FBI conspired to set "Russian espionage traps" for minor players in the Trump campaign, and the FBI had a mole within the Trump campaign, that giant sucking sound you might hear is nothing short of the US Intelligence community starting to implode.

The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote Friday to the FBI and Department of Justice, pushing the agencies for answers about the interview of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, citing an “apparently contradiction” between what former FBI Director James Comey said to the committee, and what he has said since.

Grassley’s letter requests transcripts of intercepted calls, any FBI summaries, the FBI agents notes of their interview with Flynn by May 25. It also requests an interview with one of the agents who conducted the interview with Flynn.
Grassley says that due to the guilty plea, “the Committee’s oversight interest in the underlying documents requested more than a year ago now outweighs any legitimate executive branch interest in withholding it.”

“So too does the Committee’s interest in learning the FBI agents’ actual assessments of their interview of Lt. Gen. Flynn, particularly given the apparent contradiction between what then-Directory Comey told us in March 2017 and what he now claims,” he says.

[Swordsmyth]

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa is getting to the bottom of things, and some think he's laying out a path to exonerate former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn - who pleaded guilty of lying to the FBI over his contacts with former Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak.
It has been suggested that the FBI set Flynn up, and his admission of guilt could have been to avoid sure financial ruin trying to fight the Special Counsel. Others say Flynn was protecting his son, Michael Flynn Jr., who served as his father's aide for his consulting company, Flynn Intel Group.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/chuck-grassley-feature.jpg
In a very direct Friday letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray, Grassley gets straight to the point - going after former FBI Director Comey's blatant contradiction between what he told two Congressional committees - which was that the FBI agents who interviewed Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn "saw nothing that led them to believe [he] was lying." - and what Comey told Fox News host Bret Baier - the complete opposite of his Congressional testimony.
Grassley's letter reads:

Director Comey specifically told us during that briefing that the FBI agents who interviewed Lt. General Michael Flynn, “saw nothing that led them to believe [he was] lying.” Our own Committee staff’s notes indicate that Mr. Comey said the “agents saw no change in his demeanor or tone that would say he was being untruthful.” Contrary to his public statements during his current book tour denying any memory of those comments, then-Director Comey led us to believe during that briefing that the agents who interviewed Flynn did not believe he intentionally lied about his conversation with the Ambassador and that the Justice Department was unlikely to prosecute him for false statements made in that interview.
Now compare to what Comey said on Fox while promoting his book, A Higher Loyalty:

Baier: Did you tell lawmakers that FBI agents didn't believe former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was lying intentionally to investigators?
Comey: No. And I saw that in the media. I don't know what - maybe someone misunderstood something I said. I didn't believe that, and didn't say that.
Grassley's Friday letter also notes that "The Department has withheld the Flynn-related documents since our initial bipartisan request last year," referring to the FBI's materials from the Flynn interview.
Then comes the bottom line:

"the Committee’s oversight interest in the underlying documents requested more than a year ago now outweighs any legitimate executive branch interest in withholding it. So too does the Committee’s interest in learning the FBI agents’ actual assessments of their interview of Lt. Gen. Flynn, particularly given the apparent contradiction between what then-Directory [sic] Comey told us in March 2017 and what he now claims."
In other words, the DOJ is out of excuses - and in light of the Comey contradictions - including the fact that he gave Congress the impression Flynn wasn't going to be prosecuted, it's clear that the DOJ has been hiding key facts that would significantly weaken the Flynn case.
Grassley then demands the following no later than May 25, 2018:

1. "The information requested in our February 15, 2017 letter, including the transcripts of the reportedly intercepted calls and any FBI reports summarizing them; and"
2. The FBI agents’ 302s memorializing their interview of Flynn and 1A supporting docs, including the agents’ notes.
Then it gets really interesting
Grassley demands a transcribed interview with Special Agent Joe Pientka - who he reveals to be the second FBI agent that interviewed Flynn. Prior to Friday, it was only known that (Trump-hating) Special Agent Peter Strzok was in the Flynn interview, while Pientka's name was kept nonpublic.
Pientka can now testify to whether or not McCabe had him alter his 302 form, which would send things nuclear. Given the DOJ's stonewalling to this point, it will be interesting to see how they respond to Grassley's new demands. Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein has likened Congressional efforts to pry information from the agency "extortion."
Clues to piece things together
Speaking to the suggestion that the 302 forms were altered is an analysis by Sundance of Conservative Tree House (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/05/11/senator-chuck-grassley-drops-atomic-sledgehammer-on-fbi-requests-fbi-reports-and-testimony-from-special-agent-joe-pientk/), who says "it's likely Chairman Grassley outed the name [Pientka's] for a reason." (h/t American Thinker (https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/05/senator_grassley_appears_to_be_preparing_to_bust_t he_frameup_of_general_flynn.html))

Regarding the "widely held belief" (https://twitter.com/Nick_Falco/status/989951075317788674) that Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe told the FBI agents (Strzok and Pientka) to shape their FBI reports of the interview (FD-302's) to assist a "Flynn lied" narrative…. evidence of that is within the most recent text messages (https://www.scribd.com/document/377540616/PS-LP-Text-Messages-Dec-2016-May-2017#from_embed) between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok:
♦January 23, 2017, the day before the Flynn interview, Lisa Page says: "I can feel my heart beating harder, I'm so stressed about all the ways THIS has the potential to go fully off the rails." Weird!
♦Strzok replies: "I know. I just talked with John, we're getting together as soon as I get in to finish that write up for Andy (MCCABE) this morning." Strzok agrees with Page about being stressed that "THIS" could go off the rails…(Strzok's meeting w Flynn the next day)
♦Why would Page & Strzok be stressed about "THIS" potentially going off the rails if everything was by the book?
BECAUSE IT WASN'T!
It was a conspiracy to entrap Gen Mike Flynn. All Strzok needed was an excuse to speak w Flynn. Everything in the 302 was likely fabricated.
♦February 14th, 2017, there is another note about the FBI reports filed from the interview.
Peter Strzok asks Lisa Page if FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is OK with his report: "Also, is Andy good with F-302?"
Lisa Page replies: "Launch on F 302".
And he reminds us that previously, on September 10, 2016, Strzok texted about withholding 302s that he called "VERY inflammatory"
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2018-05-13.jpg
"is Andy good with F-302?" Strzok asks page, weeks after they're stressing out about something going "off the rails." While not conclusive evidence that the 302's were altered, at least points to some sort of crisis management within the agency in relation to recent events.

[Swordsmyth]

But there’s one episode even Mueller’s former law enforcement comrades — and independent ethicists — acknowledge raises legitimate legal issues and a possible conflict of interest in his overseeing the Russia election probe.

In 2009, when Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska (https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/14/world/middleeast/a-disappearing-american-spy-and-the-cia.html) to spend millions of his own dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007.
Yes, that’s the same Deripaska who has surfaced in Mueller’s current investigation and who was recently sanctioned by the Trump administration.

The Levinson mission is confirmed by more than a dozen participants inside and outside the FBI, including Deripaska, his lawyer, the Levinson family and a retired agent who supervised the case. Mueller was kept apprised of the operation, officials told me.
Some aspects of Deripaska’s help were chronicled in a 2016 book by reporter Barry Maier (https://www.amazon.com/Missing-Man-American-Vanished-Iran-ebook/dp/B016IBBP3A), but sources provide extensive new information about his role.

They said FBI agents courted Deripaska in 2009 in a series of secret hotel meetings in Paris, Vienna, Budapest and Washington. Agents persuaded the aluminum industry magnate to underwrite the mission. The Russian billionaire insisted the operation neither involve nor harm his homeland.

“We knew he was paying for his team helping us, and that probably ran into the millions,” a U.S. official involved in the operation confirmed.

One agent who helped court Deripaska was Andrew McCabe (http://thehill.com/people/andrew-mccabe), the recently fired FBI deputy director (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/16/us/politics/andrew-mccabe-fbi-fired.html) who played a seminal role starting the Trump-Russia case, multiple sources confirm.

Deripaska’s lawyer says the Russian ultimately spent $25 million assembling a private search and rescue team that worked with Iranian contacts under the FBI’s watchful eye. Photos and videos indicating Levinson was alive were uncovered.

Then in fall 2010, the operation secured an offer to free Levinson. The deal was scuttled, however, when the State Department become uncomfortable with Iran’s terms, according to Deripaska’s lawyer and the Levinson family.

FBI officials confirmed State hampered their efforts.

“We tried to turn over every stone we could to rescue Bob, but every time we started to get close, the State Department seemed to always get in the way,” said Robyn Gritz, the retired agent who supervised the Levinson case in 2009, when Deripaska first cooperated, but who left for another position in 2010 before the Iranian offer arrived. “I kept Director Mueller and Deputy Director Pistole informed of the various efforts and operations, and they offered to intervene with State, if necessary.”

FBI officials ended the operation in 2011, concerned that Deripaska’s Iranian contacts couldn’t deliver with all the U.S. infighting. Levinson was never found; his whereabouts remain a mystery, 11 years after he disappeared.

“Deripaska’s efforts came very close to success,” said David McGee, a former federal prosecutor who represents Levinson’s family. “We were told at one point that the terms of Levinson’s release had been agreed to by Iran and the U.S. and included a statement by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (http://thehill.com/people/hillary-clinton) pointing a finger away from Iran. At the last minute Secretary Clinton decided not to make the agreed-on statement.”

The State Department declined comment, and a spokesman for Clinton did not offer comment. Mueller’s spokesman, Peter Carr, declined to answer questions. As did McCabe.

The FBI had three reasons for choosing Deripaska for a mission worthy of a spy novel. First, his aluminum empire had business in Iran. Second, the FBI wanted a foreigner to fund the operation because spending money in Iran might violate U.S. sanctions and other laws. Third, agents knew Deripaska had been banished since 2006 from the United States by State over reports he had ties to organized crime and other nefarious activities. He denies the allegations, and nothing was ever proven in court.

The FBI rewarded Deripaska for his help. In Fall 2009, according to U.S. entry records, Deripaska visited Washington on a rare law enforcement parole visa. And since 2011 he has been granted entry at least eight times on a diplomatic passport, even though he doesn’t work for the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Former FBI officials confirm they arranged the access.

Deripaska said in a statement through Adam Waldman, his American lawyer, that FBI agents told him State’s reasons for blocking his U.S. visa were “merely a pretext.”

“The FBI said they had undertaken a careful background check, and if there was any validity to the State Department smears, they would not have reached out to me for assistance,” the Russian said.

Then, over the past two years, evidence emerged tying him to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort (http://thehill.com/people/paul-manafort), the first defendant charged by Mueller’s Russia probe with money laundering and illegal lobbying.

Deripaska once hired Manafort as a political adviser and invested money with him in a business venture that went bad. Deripaska sued Manafort, alleging he stole money.

Mueller’s indictment of Manafort makes no mention of Deripaska, even though prosecutors have evidence that Manafort contemplated inviting his old Russian client (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-manafort/trump-campaign-manager-manafort-offered-to-brief-russian-billionaire-during-2016-race-washington-post-idUSKCN1BV33D?il=0) for a 2016 Trump campaign briefing. Deripaska said he never got the invite and investigators have found no evidence it occurred. There’s no public evidence Deripaska had anything to do with election meddling.

The U.S. government in April imposed sanctions on Deripaska (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-sanctions-deripaska/sanctions-on-russian-tycoon-deripaska-will-create-global-ripples-idUSKCN1HD2Q3), one of several prominent Russians targeted to punish Vladimir Putin — using the same sort of allegations that State used from 2006 to 2009. Yet, between those two episodes, Deripaska seemed good enough for the FBI to ask him to fund that multimillion-dollar rescue mission and to allow him into the country eight times.

I was alerted to Deripaska’s past FBI relationship by U.S. officials who wondered whether the Russian’s conspicuous absence from Mueller’s indictments might be related to his FBI work.

They aren’t the only ones.

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told me he believes Mueller has a conflict of interest because his FBI previously accepted financial help from a Russian that is, at the very least, a witness in the current probe.

“The real question becomes whether it was proper to leave him (Deripaska) out of the Manafort indictment, and whether that omission was to avoid the kind of transparency that is really required by the law,” Dershowitz said.

Melanie Sloan, a former Clinton Justice Department lawyer and longtime ethics watchdog, told me a “far more significant issue” is whether the earlier FBI operation was even legal: “It’s possible the bureau’s arrangement with Mr. Deripaska violated the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits the government from accepting voluntary services.”

George Washington University constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley agreed: “If the operation with Deripaska contravened federal law, this figure could be viewed as a potential embarrassment for Mueller. The question is whether he could implicate Mueller in an impropriety.”

This week, one of the Russian companies accused by Special Counsel Robert Mueller of funding a conspiracy to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election was revealed in court to not have existed during the time period alleged by Mueller's team of prosecutors, according to a lawyer representing the defendant.

U.S. Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey asked Eric Dubelier, one of two lawyers representing the accused Russian company, Concord Management and Consulting LLC, if he was representing a third company listed in Mueller's indictment (https://www.justice.gov/file/1035477/download).

"What about Concord Catering?" Harvey asked (https://www.docdroid.net/ytSx83s/usa-v-concord-5-9-18-18-032.pdf#page=4) Dubelier.
"The government makes an allegation that there's some association. I don't mean for you to – do you represent them, or not, today? And are we arraigning them as well?"
"We're not," Dubelier responded.
"And the reason for that, Your Honor, is I think we're dealing with a situation of the government having indicted the proverbial ham sandwich."
"That company didn't exist as a legal entity during the time period alleged by the government," Dubelier continued.
"If at some later time they show me that it did exist, we would probably represent them. But for purposes of today, no, we do not."
The term "indict a ham sandwich" is believed to have originated from a 1985 report in the New York Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/chief-judge-wanted-abolish-grand-juries-article-1.2025208) when New York Chief Judge Sol Wachtler told the news publication that government prosecutors have so much influence over grand juries that they could get them to "indict a ham sandwich."

At least we know the system works - a ham sandwich can be indicted. Actual perpetrators - not so much.

Judge T.S. Ellis has expressed skepticism about the scope of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. “What we don’t want in this country is... anyone with unfettered power,” Judge Ellis, who is to preside over the trial of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, told prosecutor Deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben May 4. “So it’s unlikely you’re going to persuade me that the special prosecutor has unlimited powers.”
Judge Ellis is right to be skeptical. Mr. Mueller’s investigation has crossed a constitutional line, for reasons the U.S. Supreme Court made clear in the 1988 case Morrison v. Olson. That case is best known for Justice Antonin Scalia’s powerful lone dissent arguing that the post-Watergate independent counsel statute was unconstitutional. But Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s opinion for the court, while upholding the statute, set forth limits that the Mueller investigation has exceeded.
At issue is the Constitution’s Appointments Clause, which provides that “principal officers” must be appointed by the president with the Senate’s consent. Rehnquist wrote that independent counsel Alexia Morrison qualified as an “inferior officer,” not subject to the appointment process, because her office was “limited in jurisdiction” to “certain federal officials suspected of certain serious federal crimes.”
Mr. Mueller, in contrast, is investigating a large number of people and has already charged defendants with many different kinds of crimes, including - as in Mr. Manafort’s case - ones unrelated to any collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russia. That’s too much power for an inferior officer to have. Only a principal officer, such as a U.S. attorney, can behave the way Mr. Mueller is behaving. Mr. Mueller is much more powerful today than any of the 96 U.S. attorneys. He is behaving like a principal officer.
Rehnquist’s majority opinion has never been overturned. In Edmund v. U.S. and in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Oversight Board, the justices said that an officer cannot be inferior unless he has a boss - as Mr. Mueller does in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed him. But that’s not a sufficient condition. As a principal officer, Mr. Rosenstein could legally have brought all the indictments Mr. Mueller has. But he may not delegate that authority to Mr. Mueller, any more than President Trump could delegate his veto power to Mr. Rosenstein.

The Framers struggled long and hard over the Appointments Clause. For better or worse, they arrived at the process of presidential nomination with senatorial consent. The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel should confirm the analysis set forth above in a legal opinion to guide Mr. Rosenstein in the exercise of his duties. Judge Ellis should dismiss the indictment against Mr. Manafort on Appointments Clause grounds. All other defendants Mr. Mueller charges, and witnesses he subpoenas, should challenge the constitutionality of his actions on Appointments Clause grounds.
