The FBI mess is about to go Chernobyl. The scandal reaches high up into the DOJ

Loading

 

The events that have transpired over the last year are not a series of coincidences. There is a plan behind all of it.

Robert Mueller is not searching for the truth. He assembled a team to bring down Trump. That much has become overwhelmingly clear. Mueller has put together a team of rabid Trump haters. Not a single one is a Republican donor and most are democrat donors. Mueller, who is close friends with Comey, is also seeking to avenge Comey.



Democrats knew what was going on the entire time.

Let’s look at what’s happened. (Thank you, Chuck Ross, for the timeline. I have added more substance to it)

March: Fusion GPS approached Perkins Coie, the law firm for the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee. Perkins Coie general counsel revealed this week that Fusion offered to continue Trump opposition research it had started while working for a Republican candidate.

April: Perkins Coie, using money from the Clinton campaign and DNC, hires Fusion GPS. Marc Elias, a Perkins Coie partner and general counsel for both the campaign and DNC, would serve as the bagman.

That month, Federal Election Commission records show that the Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie a total of $150,000 for legal services. The DNC paid the firm around $107,000. It is unclear how much of that went to Fusion GPS. Both the campaign and DNC would pay Perkins Coie hundreds of thousands more dollars throughout the campaign.

May: Free Beacon ends its contract with Fusion.

June: Fusion GPS hires former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and his London-based firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. Steele discloses this in court filings earlier this year as part of a lawsuit he faces over the dossier. Steele said he worked for Fusion GPS from June through November.

June 20: Steele writes first memo of the dossier. It alleges that Trump used prostitutes during a visit to Moscow in 2013 and that the Kremlin was blackmailing him with the evidence. The memo also alleges that the Trump campaign was engaged in a well-orchestrated collusion campaign with Russian operatives.

July 5: Steele provides his research to an FBI contact, The New York Times has reported. The documents made their way to FBI counterintelligence chief Peter Strzock two weeks later.

July: Chatter began appearing on social media referring to damning information about Trump’s ties to Russia. Republican strategist Rick Wilson told The New York Times back in January, after the dossier was published, that he was first asked about the document by a reporter in July.

July 26: A Wall Street Journal reporter contacts Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser, about allegations made about him in the dossier. Page disclosed that detail last month in a lawsuit he filed against the parent company of Yahoo! News, which republished claims from the dossier last September.

Late July: The FBI opens a counterintelligence investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.

(That would be the one signed by Peter Strzok)

Aug. 25: Then-CIA Director John Brennan briefs then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid about possible links between Trump associates and Russian operatives. According to The New York Times, officials in the meeting said that Brennan “indicated that unnamed advisers to Mr. Trump might be working with the Russians to interfere in the election.”

September: The FBI obtained a surveillance warrant from a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Carter Page. The application for the warrant reportedly cited the dossier as evidence.

(That would be the discredited dossier, paid for by Clinton campaign and the DNC, containing information from the Kremlin)

Late September: In court filings in London, where he is being sued, Steele says that he briefed reporters at several news outlets following instructions from Fusion GPS. Steele briefed The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The New Yorker and Yahoo! News.

Sept. 23: Yahoo News publishes an article that, it is now known, relied heavily on the dossier’s claims about Page. The article, from veteran journalist Michael Isikoff, contains allegations that Page met secretly with Russian government officials that July in Moscow. Page has denied the allegation and is suing Yahoo! over the article.

October: Steele met with FBI agents who offered to pay the former spy to continue his investigation of Trump.

Mid-October: Steele, again acting on directions from Fusion, met with reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Yahoo! News.

Somewhere in here associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr met with Christopher Steele.

Oct. 31: Earlier in October, Steele conducted an interview on Skype with Mother Jones reporter David Corn. Corn published a piece referring to Steele as a “Western intelligence official” who had compiled information on Trump’s ties to Russia.

November: The contract between the Democrats, Fusion and Steele ends along with the presidential campaign.

Sometime shortly after the election, Ohr meets with Glenn Simpson.

Nov. 18: Arizona Sen. John McCain and a former assistant, David Kramer, are told about the existence of the dossier by an associate of Steele’s, former British diplomat Sir Andrew Wood. Kramer travels to London later that month to meet with Steele and find out more about the dossier. Steele forwards a copy of the dossier to Fusion, Kramer and McCain.

Dec. 9: McCain provides a copy of the dossier to then-FBI Director James Comey during a meeting at the latter’s office.

Dec. 13: Steele writes the final memo of the dossier. It alleges that a Russian tech executive used his companies to hack into the DNC’s email systems. The executive, Aleksej Gubarev, denied the allegations after the dossier was published by BuzzFeed on Jan. 10, 2017. He is suing both BuzzFeed and Steele.

Jan. 6: Comey and other intelligence community officials brief then-President-elect Trump on some of the allegations made in the dossier.

Doubt builds about the dossier. Democrats need to block Trump from discovering the truth. They press Sessions to recuse, and he folds

March 3, 2017 Sessions recuses himself

This opens the door for Rosenstine to control the investigation as he sees fit.

March 15: Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrel, a supporter of Clinton’s, casts doubt on the dossier and Steele’s sourcing.

Morrel said that the revelation that Steele paid intermediaries to obtain information that wound up in the dossier “kind of worries me a little bit.”

“If you’re paying somebody, particularly former FSB officers, they are going to tell you truth and innuendo and rumor, and they’re going to call you up and say, ‘Hey, let’s have another meeting, I have more information for you,’ because they want to get paid some more,” said Morell.

Devin Nunes closes in on the scandal. democrats need to hamstring him and they file ethics complaint against Nunes.

April 6, 2017 Nunes steps aside from leading the House Intelligence Committee

May 9, 2017 Trump fires Comey

May 17, 2017 Rosenstine appoints Mueller as Special Prosecutor

July 13, 2017 Mueller brings on Strzok

Aug. 22: Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson meets with the Senate Judiciary Committee for 10 hours but refuses to disclose the identity of his clients.

August, 2017 Strzok removed from Mueller team, banished to HR. Mueller stonewalls Congress for months on the reason for dismissal. The reason turns out to be the text messages Strzok was sending to his mistress ridiculing Trump.

Sept. 18: Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he was unaware of who paid for the dossier. It would later be reported that Podesta was sitting next to the man who actually did pay for the document, his attorney, Marc Elias. Elias apparently did not speak up during the interview to take responsibility for the dossier.

***December 12, 2017 It is revealed that Bruce Ohr met with both Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson.

You can easily see what has been going on. The Clinton campaign and the DNC paid for a garbage dossier they planned to use against Donald Trump. When they realize it is a total fabrication, the cover up begins. Systematic obstruction. Democrats knew all about this from day one. First they took out Sessions in order to allow the more compliant Rosenstine, who then would appoint a special prosecutor with an ax to grind against Trump. They take out Nunes, who was getting too close to the truth. Mueller then assembles a partisan hit team of democrat donors and Clinton supporters- with not a single GOP donor or someone favorable to Trump. Worst of all the DOJ is directly involved. How deep is now the only question. obama not only weaponized the IRS, he also weaponized the Department of Justice.

It’s all about taking down Trump. The collusion things falls apart, now it’s on to create a case for obstruction. Who knows what follows that.

However, once is it is firmly established that the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump team was secured using the phony dossier- and democrats knew all along- there is going to be hell to pay. It’s no wonder obama is out there likening Trump to Hitler.

This is bigger then Watergate much more bigger but dont wait for any big headlines in the New York Pravda becuase this involved the Demac-Rats and Obama and will as Clinton the Main-Stream news rags are still too busy trying to find any connections between Trump and the Russians and especialy the New York Pravda

@DrJohn: I was wondering how AFTER the election Flynns “business thingee” Which may depend on Russians having uranium affected the election.
Perhaps Greg can mansplain that to me.
@Greg: They have transcripts they were spying on all of Trumps team and Trump so your unnamed whistle blower can and may be cross checked for truth. Still cite the NYT about Trump even after their obvious bias was made public, thats just pathetic.

This needs to be investigated and arrests made

@Spurwing Plover: Shhhh https://www.infowars.com/the-doj-has-been-investigating-the-fbi-for-11-months/
Once the ratfinks are “demoted” a real investigation on Hillary and her accomplices can begin. Seems there are still leaks to Mueller ie the texts being found out.
A storm is brewing, they never thought she could lose.

@Greg: Evidently you are unaware that the President of the United States gets to determine US foreign policy. You must be pretty dimwitted to believe that’s a crime.

@JoeThePimpernel, #7:

I’m very much aware that the power to determine foreign policy resides in the Office of the President. In that fact lies the significance of Flynn’s statements.

As National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn wasn’t in a position to make decisions regarding the Russian sanctions. Which means that he was either an idiot—which he is not—or speaking as an intermediary.

Efforts have been made to shut Flynn off in an isolated water-tight compartment from the moment Trump’s U-boat sprang a leak, but Flynn may not be willing to be the fall guy. He’s now cooperating with the Mueller investigation. And there are leaks in multiple compartments. Manafort, for instance. That would explain why Mueller is looking into his Deutsche Bank transactions. Once they have hard evidence against him, he could also decide it’s in his best interest to talk.

Donald Trump might not be the person where all of the lines intersect. It might be someone close to him.

@Greg: Nice leap over logic, how does this prove election tampering? Isnt that what the investigation is suppose to be about? Or is it a witch hunt for impeachment as the left is trying desperately to pull off? Because we dont like him is not an impeachable charge.

Then-CIA Director John Brennan briefs then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid about possible links between Trump associates and Russian operatives.

Why?

@Greg:

Efforts have been made to shut Flynn off in an isolated water-tight compartment from the moment Trump’s U-boat sprang a leak, but Flynn may not be willing to be the fall guy.

What “efforts”?

Donald Trump might not be the person where all of the lines intersect.

OMG!!!! Am I reading that correctly?

@kitt, #9:

Nice leap over logic, how does this prove election tampering? Isnt that what the investigation is suppose to be about?

The purpose of the investigation is to determine if something is seriously rotten in Denmark. Mueller smells something, and has been empowered to follow his nose to the source.

@ Spurwing Plover Man This is 1000000x’s Bigger than Watergate.

@Greg:

The purpose of the investigation is to determine if something is seriously rotten in Denmark. Mueller smells something, and has been empowered to follow his nose to the source.

No, the purpose is to PROVE there collusion where there was none. Mueller’s nose leads him directly towards the Democrats and Clinton but he stays steady on his assigned mission: GET TRUMP.

So far, his game is falling apart.

@Bill… Deplorable Me: I thought there was supposed to be a crime first, not a investigation to look for one? What crime do we KNOW happened that is being investigated?

There is no crime of collusion. Show me the the federal statute.

This all just boils down to dirty politics.

@Mully, #14:

This all just boils down to dirty politics.

So far it has boiled down to indictments for actual crimes: there’s a guilty plea from Michael Flynn, who has acknowleged lying to the FBI; there are 12 count indictments against Manafort and Gates, on charges including conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, acting secretly as an agent of a foreign principal, filing false and misleading FARA statements, and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts. You don’t get indictments unless an impartial federal grand jury has been convinced that sufficient evidence exists to successfully prosecute. Manafort and Gates have bails set at $10 million and $5 million, respectively. These are serious charges with serious consequences, not politically motivated rumor, or some imaginary tale fabricated by the media.

Collusion itself may not be a crime, but many of the things that add up to it certainly would be.

@Mully:

I thought there was supposed to be a crime first, not a investigation to look for one?

Well, usually, but when a bunch of butt-hurt crybabies give up ever being able to win a legal election again, due to their penchant for presenting candidates no one wants to see or hear, it is apparently OK to utilize the powers of the Department of Justice to go seeking something that can be called a crime to try to unseat those the people HAVE chosen.

You don’t get indictments unless an impartial federal grand jury has been convinced that sufficient evidence exists to successfully prosecute.

Uh huh. We have had a real taste of the “impartiality” that pervades the Justice Department after Obama, Holder and Lynch got through with it.

These are serious charges with serious consequences, not politically motivated rumor, or some imaginary tale fabricated by the media.

They ARE politically motivated and that is the defense that is going to get them dropped because, as we have seen, the Podesta boys and Hillary’s campaign were all doing the same thing. So, the defense will argued that these are PURELY political charges, and that will be successful, since it is demonstrably true.

@Greg: #11 Denmark well thank heavens thought it was an investigation involving the United States… whew. Cause in the US you are innocent til proven guilty and not given over to a bunch of hyenas with the entire US legal code to search for a paper you forgot to file or used perfectly legal tax shelters to protect your companys earnings.
Hell I didn’t even know the IRS or Treasury dept was the entire US.

@Greg: Thank you for the admission about collusion. Glad that bit or reality seeped in to you.

Its pretty simple you put enough lawyers on something, give them no time limit and unlimited funds, they will come up with something. They have to or they will look foolish. Put that same scenario of lawyers on you and your family and they will come up with something as well.

We still don’t know what crime has been committed, which is what is supposed to be investigated first. Not the other way around. Only in politics do we allow things to work backwards with a willing press pushing the narrative. Link below shows how much they can’t wait to find something, anything.
https://theintercept.com/2017/12/09/the-u-s-media-yesterday-suffered-its-most-humiliating-debacle-in-ages-now-refuses-all-transparency-over-what-happened/

So we have indictments based on what we call process crimes, not election tampering or meddling. Which is what this is supposed to be about.

So either you believe Trump is stupid to have partnered with the Russians to help him in the election and he’s one step from being caught or he’s brilliant to pull it off and that a gaggle of left wing lawyers can’t find any direct link or evidence. So now they go to plan B, process crimes. Which have nothing to do with the election and collusion.

Tough choice for you.

@Mully, #18:

Its pretty simple you put enough lawyers on something, give them no time limit and unlimited funds, they will come up with something

Like having accepting millions of dollars from pro-Putin Ukrainian oligarchs for services rendered on behalf of the cause? This is no small something—particularly when that same guy then winds up as campaign chairman for a U.S. presidential candidate the Russians have assisted by mounting an extensive hacking and disinformation operation against his opponent. Manafort’s resume already included assinting in the installation of Putin puppet Viktor Yanukovych as President of Ukraine.

Manafort had been the subject of an FBI criminal investigation since 2014. Putting him in charge of the Trump campaign was a very questionable move. Where his loyalties lie is open to debate.

@Greg: Trump fired Manafort when this was brought to his attention. Meanwhile, Hillary’s partner Podesta was doing THE SAME THING and Hillary was partnered with the Russians to get the phony dossier manufactured (not to mention the Uranium One deal).

Russians have assisted by mounting an extensive hacking and disinformation operation against his opponent.

They hacked the easy targets; those who make “password” their password. Also, DNC traitors may have provided the emails. Either way, there is no demonstrated help the Russians lent anyone. Mostly, Hillary was just a despicable candidate.

Putting him in charge of the Trump campaign was a very questionable move.

How is Trump supposed to know what Manafort was doing? As you say, he has been investigated since 2014 and they just now collected enough information to draw up some thin, easily defended charges.

What was Hillary’s excuse for partnering with the Podesta’s and Blumenthal? And Fusion GPS? And the Russians?

Trump fired Manafort when this was brought to his attention.

A better question than why he was fired might be why he was hired to begin with. This guy was known to be a gun-for-hire that had been employed as a political operative and strategist by Russian interests. That he suddenly turned up and was willing to work for free surely raised some questions.

@Greg:

A better question than why he was fired might be why he was hired to begin with.

No, the question would be why NOT? After all, unlike Hillary, Trump didn’t have the benefit of working hand in hand with the FBI, trading dossiers, lies and accusations. How would you expect Trump to know anything the FBI has taken a year to find out, even with Obama’s illegal surveillance?

And even BETTER question is, since you think Manafort is such a nasty player, why do you so loyally support Hillary when she had the Podesta’s and Blumenthal doing the same thing, if not worse?

@Bill… Deplorable Me, #22:

How would you expect Trump to know anything the FBI has taken a year to find out, even with Obama’s illegal surveillance?

Manafort’s dicey past history and connections weren’t exactly a state secret. Any casual inquiry into his background should have turned up worrisome details. This article appeared May 6, 2016:

Making Foreign Lobbyists Great Again – Donald Trump’s fixer Paul Manafort has a long history of working with governments unfriendly to the U.S.

@Greg: He was previously an adviser to the U.S. presidential campaigns of Republicans Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bob Dole. After winning the Primaries he needed experienced campaign people he was up against the Clinton machine, it worked he is in the oval office despite all odds. Once Manafort became a liability he was dumped which only fed a Trumps campaign in turmoil MSM frenzy.
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-campaign-manager-kellyanne-conway-227097

@Greg:

Manafort’s dicey past history and connections weren’t exactly a state secret.

Really. So why wasn’t he already under arrest if he was doing such despicable things? Because he wasn’t doing anything any other power player in Washington was doing or because he wasn’t doing anything wrong and Mueller is trumping up charges to try and look like a hound dog on Trump’s trail?

Was Manafort involved in the sale of US uranium to Russia? Unlike the Hillary/Obama/Mueller team, he wasn’t involved in that scandal, was he?

Once again, a question of mine to you goes unanswered. Keeping company with the cowardly AJ is no way to enhance your weakened credibility, Greg.

@Greg: And yet despite all your protestations Manafort was not charged with anything to do with Russian election interference. Just a process crime that many are guilty of but rarely ever charged.
There is no crime of collusion.

The Russians also tried to hack into the RNC but failed.

@Mully:

The Russians also tried to hack into the RNC but failed

They didnt try the password “nevertrump1”

@Mully, #25:

Would he have to be under arrest before you’d realize he shouldn’t be your campaign chairman? Manafort had previously been hired to get Viktor Yanukovych elected; Yanukovych was a known Putin tool. Manafort was a paid lobbyist for dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, who consolidated and maintained power by publicly executing his opponents.

If the fish smells funny, it isn’t a wise decision to go ahead and put it on your plate and eat it to find out if it really has gone bad.

Who paid Orbis for the December memo?

1. FBI?

2. John McCain?

3. John McCain’s foundation?

4. CrowdStrike?
