Walls Close In Around DOJ and FBI “Small Group” Participants
Conservative Tree House ^ | 1/5/17 | Sundance

Posted on 01/05/2018 2:25:39 AM PST by Be Careful

Several stories broke yesterday:

♦Senator Ron Johnson gains copies of the manipulated/edited FBI small group “talking points” that exonerated Hillary Clinton despite overwhelming evidence. Johnson is a Senate Judiciary Committee member and remains focused on those specifics.

♦Senator Chuck Grassley has identified that former FBI Director James Comey leaked classified FBI information to the media to gain political leverage. Additional questions are now raised by the Senate Judiciary Chairman.

♦The FBI has begun a new review of the Clinton Foundation pay-to-play network during Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Dept. Investigators are questioning the people within the Clinton foundation about actions taken as a result of donations to the foundation.

♦A federal judge has ruled that Fusion GPS must turn over it’s bank records to the House Intelligence Committee. Including records of financial payments to journalists and media outlets to push the Christopher Steele “Dossier” story.

♦House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes will be receiving all remaining DOJ documents, without redaction, that pertain to the 2016 DOJ/FBI FISA court application. In addition eight key members of the FBI “small group” will be questioned by the committee.

♦The Dept. of Justice it reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email use; and how both Clinton and her aide Huma Abedin used, shared and stored classified documents on their personal servers and devices.

♦Paul Manafort sues Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his probe due to a claim of overreach and operating outside the scope of his legal authority from congress.

Additionally, the DOJ Office of Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, is anticipated to deliver 1.2 million documents, from a year-long investigation into the FBI/DOJ, to House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte on January 15th.

It is easy to get stuck in the weeds on any individual storyline within the larger network of ongoing investigations.

Interesting that one of the FBI interview docs is so sensitive that Nunes and his team are being shown the document(s) today by Wray personally at FBI HQ. I was thinking that must be a very sensitive doc but the Nunes letter does not say that Schiff and his investigators will be attending - is that an oversight or omission in the letter? or is it, possibly, that doc pertains to Schiff’s leaking?


It is because someone is being implicated in the specific and is about to arrested with the release of the DOJ OIG report. In order to protect the the investigation until release of the report Wray does not want Schiff to be able to tip anyone off. Just speculation on my part, by it’s already a fact that Schiff has been identified by the DOJ as a leaker.

"I am still frustrated with the GOP in Washington. Why did it take them a year to call out the people who were so obviously lying and pushing the anti-Trump garbage?"

Something many have wondered.

Two probable reasons:

1. They were waiting to see if Trump would survive the coup attempt
and
2."Now our new president has of course not been in this line of work before. And I think had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process" McConnell said.

We shall see if the exceedingly slow moving wheels of justice in fact grind true in the end.

1. the white hats probably had most of this info in near real time

2. trump had the election in the bag. the next hurdle was obtaining political “street cred” which trump finally got with the tax cut bill.

3. with his new political “street cred,” trump can now face his worst political enemies with the political ammo that he has been sitting on for a year

imho (speculative) the wall and obamacare repeal should have passed, but did not because the deep state wanted to keep trump deprived of political “street cred” while the hillary et al kept chewing away at his base using the MSM, Congress, Mueller, etc. at some point the deep state hoped to get lucky... trump lost his losers but boxed the deep state in with the tax cut bill, which both his base and wall street favored.

I wonder how it is that Sundance is so cogent on this material!

I wonder how it is that Sundance is so cogent on this material and everything else.

I remember during the 2016 election Sundance drove our Never Trumpsters nuts and up a wall. They demanded to know who he was.

Many of us reminded on each of his/their posts, that Sundances posts were accurate.

The DOJ National Security Division set Admiral Mike Rogers up to take the fall for their unlawful conduct. They preempted Rogers by filing a notification with the FISA Court on 26th September 2016 (look at the pdf). DOJ-NSD head John P Carlin was setting up Rogers as the scapegoat while knowing the NSA FISA compliance officer was still reviewing their conduct. Carlin wouldn’t notify the court unless he was trying to cover something. Carlin then announced his resignation. The NSA compliance officer did not brief Admiral Rogers until 20th Oct 2016. Admiral Rogers notified the FISC on 26th Oct 2016. October 2016 is a very important month: ♦DOJ Deputy Attorney Bruce Ohr was “demoted” in the summer of 2017 after the Inspector General discovered unreported 2016 contacts between Ohr and Russian Dossier author Christopher Steele, as well as contact with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, in October 2016. ♦Also in October 2016 the DOJ lawyers formatted the FBI information (Steele Dossier etc.) for the Trump FISA application; the head of the NSD, Asst. Attorney General John P Carlin, left his job. It would have specifically been John Carlin’s responsibility to ensure a valid legal basis for the FISA application submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). ♦In October 2016 the NSA compliance officer completes a review and briefs Rogers of FISA(17) violations, email collection and phone surveillance. Rogers informs FISC – [FISA Court Ruling Link] Now Look At This – October 2016: On Friday November 18th, 2016, The Washington Post reported on a recommendation in “October” that Mike Rogers be removed from his NSA position: The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed. The recommendation, delivered to the White House last month, was made by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to several U.S. officials familiar with the matter. […] In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower. That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters. (link) Important reminder. Remember, in 2015 Sally Yates blocked any inspector general oversight of the DOJ National Security Division (SEE Pdf HERE). The OIG, Michael Horowitz, requested oversight and it was Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD. There’s a pretty clear picture here. Obama’s political operatives within the DOJ-NSD were using FISA 702(17) surveillance “about inquiries” that would deliver email and phone communication for U.S. people (Trump campaign). The unit would work in coordination with the FBI Counterintelligence Unit (Peter Strzok etc.) To stop the activity NSA Director Mike Rogers initiated a full 702 compliance review. Before the review was complete the DOJ-NSD had enough information for their unlawful FISA warrant which worked retroactively to make the prior FBI surveillance (began in July ’16 per James Comey) lawful. Rogers stopped the process on October 26th 2016. As a result of his not going along, Rogers became a risk; Clapper demanded he be fired. Ten days after the election, November 17th 2016, Admiral Rogers travels to Trump Tower without telling ODNI James Clapper. Rogers likely informs President-elect Trump of the prior activity by the FBI and DOJ, including the probability that all of Trump Tower’s email and phone communication was being collected. The transition team was set up in Trump Tower. The very next day, November 18th 2016, Trump moves the entire transition team to Bedminister New Jersey. Does this make more sense now?

Undeniably.

The insight on the events is incredible. Someone involved is extremely experienced and connected.

Am expecting a series of arkancides, or possibly a terrorist attack on FBI’s facilities holding all that incriminating information between now and Jan 15th.

When they dig through “the insurance plan” they will finally get through to the other ways of surveiling and threatening people, such as “the Hammer”, which is Clapper and Brennan’s baby. When it is seen who they surveiled, why, and what they did with the surveillance, America will see how truly diabolical the whole system is: from top dog (Obama) to big dogs (Clapper, Brennan, Jarrett), to dog-catcher (Holder, Yates, Lerner, etc).

The whole stinking mess will be exposed once they start looking at “the Hammer”. But this stuff with Trump shows the M.O., and the documentation of what happened and how is easier to get - even though it takes lawsuits and lots and lots of time to finally get that documentation.

But Clapper and Brennan are the two that I would most like to see in Gitmo. I’d like to have my cat pee on them both, on behalf of my family, for whom this is all very personal.
