NN ^ | 02-14-20 | Jay Greenberg

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating whether Obama administration officials may have hidden or manipulated information on Russian meddling in U.S. elections as part of a possible conspiracy against Donald Trump, according to reports.U.S. Attorney John Durham is reportedly probing the possibility that Obama admin officials actively manipulated evidence to fit in with their idea that Trump was working with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.

I suspect these “investigations” have long been completed. What they’re spending time on now is how to spin the news of no charges / no indictments, with McCabe being first.

Dems Colluded with foreign countries to generate propaganda to affect a Presidential Election.
They forced a bogus investigation, and in typical Dem fashion, they accused Trump of doing what they did......
.......there are dozens of memos that make up an actual diary of moment-by-moment events, during the FBI
investigation of Donald Trump (as candidate and as president), documented by Obama’s FBI Director Comey......

SOURCE: CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE | 4/9/2019 | SUNDANCE / FR Posted by bitt
A late day submission to DC Circuit Court in a FOIA case reveals the content of previously
unknown James Comey memos. Obama’s entire anti-Trump operation is memorialized in writing:
<><> how Obama’s FBI Director James Comey wrote down the sources and code-names assigned;
<><> how confidential sources engaged with FISA coverage initiated by Obama’s FBI;
<><> naming foreign governments assisting Obama and Hillary with their vile efforts;
<><> and the rollout plans for Obama’s phony investigation.....”by the book.”


During her ill-fated campaign Hillary bragged about “foreign governments” supporting her election.

Are these the same “foreign governments” Comey had assisting their efforts to frame Trump? (smirk)

That would mean Obama, Comey and Hillary were colluding with
foreign governments to meddle in our elections, wouldnt it?

This headline on this clickbait site is pure BS. NO OTHER PUBLICATIONS have described the durham inquiry in this manner because theY are not investigating whether there was a coup. Period. Take it to the bank.

On January 13th, a few days before Trump took Office, Obama issued an executive order saying ALL 17 security agencies could have total access to each other. In other words, they were free to engage in collusion...and that’s exactly what they did.

Pres Obama’s maneuver of January 3, 2017-——his signing of NSA Data-Sharing Order Section 2.3 out of AG Lynch’s office ——is the coupe d’etat to blow out The Deep State.

Obama’s original ex/order contains some unusual language particularly the convoluted language WRT “The Strategic Delay of Section 2.3 of Obama’s Executive Order 12333.”

NOTE WELL: Prior to the formal signing of Section 2.3, greater latitude ALREADY existed within the White House in regards to collection of information – especially in relation to the Trump Campaign. However, once signed, Section 2.3 granted broad latitude to inter-agency sharing of information.

But by the time Obama’s new executive order was signed on January 3, 2017, all that information was already in the possession of Obama White House.

Thus, Susan Rice’s January 20, 2017 email to herself takes on an even greater significance b/c no one was ever supposed to know about the REAL meaning of Obama’s retroactive actions.....until Rice stupidly laid it all out in an official email.

When Susan Rice stupidly wrote a memo to herself, she inadvertently confessed to a series of crimes that added the time line and inferences about what the outgoing Obama administration illegally concealed from incoming President Trump and his aides.

After-the-fact memos are rarely a good idea....they reveal things the author never intended——as did Susan Rice in her now-infamous email to herself on Trump’s inauguration day.

Suzan skipped down the Yellowbrick Road, along with the mental midgets of the Obama Administraton.

Obama’s FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials flipped a finger at protocol....and even worse ....they were intentionally dishonest with incoming President Trump and key members of his new administration.

Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue.......but flipping off established protocol had serious ramifications.

This was a “justification memo”......outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice needed to explain why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and all of his officials.

This is not a “CYA” memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.

Her intellectually facile “By-The-Book” reference -refers to both she and then-President Obama being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation to determine if he was under the influence of the Russian government.

But they NEVER told candidate Trump about it.

Even the timing of Rice’s Oz-ish memo, written 15 minutes prior to the end of the Obama administration, is ex-post-facto useful as evidence of the author’s intent.......as Suzan stupidly confesses to a host of crimes.

What people miss about Susan Rice and her need to write that last memo is her attempt to craft a record of a ‘COUNTER-INTEL’ operation that was ongoing and that Obama had instructed that everything be done ‘by the book’.

What is missing is that during a counter-intel investigation, it is permissible to lie, or in official terms ‘to disseminate disinformation’.

As long as the Obama spying was characterized as a counter-intel operation, it was legal to have words and actions left in place that might be discovered as untrue.

In other words, Rice’s final memo was an attempt to carve out a last minute get-out-of-jail pass for all those involved in the spying.

Rice likely foresaw that Congressional hearings might uncover false and perjured statements on the part of persons in the spy operation to which the response would be “So what? It was a Counter-Intel operation.”

This is why it was IMPERATIVE for Barr and Durham to investigate the ORIGINS because the origins reveal no predicate, no basis, no genuine probable cause.

The vast majority of the public has no idea how all this went down.

Freerepublic is a tiny, activist group of conservatives and libertarians.

The rest of the country has to be told of what is going on.

Doing it all at once, with massive, unexplained arrests, is a no-go.

This is a very positive outcome, because it is not aimed at the believing activists, but at the nation.

Even the New York Times is being forced to report on it.

Correct. And push the big issues so close to the election that Trump’s hands are tied. What is he supposed to do when Barr runs to Fake News and most likely threatens to resign? He can’t afford that beltway firestorm in campaign season.

We don’t have a “justice system”.
We have a very badly-broken “legal system”.

Gee, let’s spend $50 or $100-million and study the data.

Of course, Zero and Hillary were in this scam.

Who are the little fish they let go?? Plenty of little fish frying for their corruption every day and many of them for stuff they did years ago, that previous admins DOJ let slide!
From my perspective the only ones let off have all been big fish that have been investigated and not charged for little nothing crimes when they have done much worse...
Prosecuting McCabe for lying would have been like arresting a guy for jaywalking after he just murdered somebody. The whole deep state let out a collective sigh of relief (again) today and who knows, maybe he was let off because he shared some juicy information trying to save his ass...
It is Unfortunate that the wheels of justice grind so slowly... but highlighting that might be part of the plan too, pretty sure this all is timed for maximum effect for the upcoming election, but time will tell, that said, I am expecting a spectacular October surprise this year!
Look into how long the Watergate investigation took and then realize as Rush said, this coup attempt is going to make Watergate look like romper room! I mean think about it, we all thought the Republic was lost when Obama won a second term... you don’t get rid of corruption that deeply entrenched and fix that quickly.
What nobody seems to understand is this all has to happen in the right order, arrest a big fish and a corrupt deep state prosecutor gets assigned or the judge lets him off on a technicality and it’s over... they are free.
I do know there are going to be a whole lot of FReepers that will have to pick their jaws up off the floor when this all gets revealed for what it really was, there is more evidence coming out daily that proves it is really happening if you know what to look for!
