The other secrets inside Grenell’s satchel are the key to the biggest political scandal in US history
American Thinker ^ | 14 May, 2020 | Thomas Lifson

That satchel that Acting DNI Ric Grenell personally delivered to the Department of Justice on May 7, 2020 was far too big for a just a list of the 39 Obama administration officials, including his chief of staff and ambassador to Italy. Those higher ups have been exposed as requesting the unmasking of General Flynn. But there must have been a lot more inside, and that material, voluminous to require a briefcase-sized container, and that is the key to exposing the real extent of the spy operation that President Obama carried out on his political enemies, and the unmasking of General Michael Fynn is just the tip of the iceberg.

That is the basic message of this long and fascinating post by retired naval officer J.E. Dyer at Liberty Unyielding. I urge those who take a keen interest in the subject to read the whole thing, for it is full of technical points and complexities, but I will offer my own perspective on the thesis advanced by Ms. Dyer who tweets under the name OptimisticCon. The post was sent to me by a counterintelligence professional who noted that it reinforced the point I made yesterday:

SNIP

The key message is that for years, the Obama administration was mining the incomparable database of the National Security Agency (NSA), which captured virtually all electronic communications – emails, text messages, everything – launched into the ether. The potential for abuse is breathtaking. Everything that political enemies said to each other, except in private in-person conversations or in snail mail letters, could have been spied upon. And now it looks like staggering numbers of intercepts were spied upon. Dyer makes that case:

Thanks. I don’t catch everything, but this is a very interesting piece(s) on this whole thing. The revolting idea this occurred seems to fit the real scandal.

Others are suggesting that Flynn knew something big when he was tapped to be the DNI so he had to be taken out. That makes sense too as if he did not know he would in short order.

What a mess this is. Graham is up to his eyeballs in this as are/were many other republicrats. It might explain why he looks so nervous lately on his appearances.

I found the information about John Brennan's association with The Analysis Corporation to be most interesting.

As for Graham...if he made his bed with fleas he can lie in it. /intended double entrende

Concur on both counts....

Comey worked on the private side with the surveillance state. Brennan worked on the private side with the surveillance state.

I wonder how much they made?

I also want to know if Fusion GPS, Crowdstrike, and other DNC contractors for opposition research had contracts and access to the NSA data. Wouldn’t that be interesting?

Also you have to get enough & do it right (Cut no corners!) to make sure you get convictions. Screw it up and some walk you’ve made “instant leftwing heroes”. Look what happened when the government tried to cut corners and screwed up the investigation of William Ayers 30 years ago. You know “ Guilty as Hell Free as a Bird!” or so his words went. He’s still taunting us and he helped give Zero! Perhaps his revenge on the US.

Yeah. Everyone knew that Obama’s conveniently “leaked” phone call was the call to arms reaching out to his flying monkeys. Who did he think he was fooling, anyhow?

Can’t make any conclusion based on the size Grinell’s satchel. It’s probably the one he uses everyday. He may or may not have lots of other stuff in it.

Sidney Powell does not think FusionGPS was one of the contractors.

At the five minute mark of a lengthy interview she gave last year:
