MORE FBI LIES: Bureau Redacted Strzok-Page Texts to Omit 2015 Overseas Spying on US Citizens
The Gateway Pundit ^ | June 6, 2018 | Jim Hoft

Once again, it appears the FBI redacted documents to Congress in order to hide illicit behavior.

The FBI hid that they were using sources to “lure” US citizens (Trump officials?) in the UK.

According to Kevin Brock, the Former Assistant Director of Counter-Intelligence at the FBI, opening a source to spy on a US citizen before opening an official investigation is prohibited by the FBI.

The FBI hid this from Congress.

Recused Jeff Sessions' "independent" FBI at work.

Bet they were bugging/surveilling Trump even before he declared.

“We had to redact because of National Security concerns.”

BULLSHIT. Open up every file, we need to see the actual truth about what has been going on within the FBI, CIA and others.

They were planning this op from the Fall of 2015.

October 2015: The DOD started paying Halper hundreds of thou under his contract. CIA agent Halper is probably a middleman, he in turns pays Mifsud and whoever else they are using in the sting, so Halper gets a lot of cash.

December 2015: Britain’s GCHQ receiving intel supposedly from Estonia, Poland, Germany and other countries that Trump people are colluding with Russia. This is all fabricated beforehand and placed with intel sources.

December 2015: Strzok wants approval for OCONUS lures. This is probably referring to luring US citizens to locations outside the US where CIA agents can legally interact with them. Like paying Carter Page to fly to Cambridge for a seminar. Or paying Papadop to fly to London to present a paper he is paid for.

Likely that Brennan masterminded the frame-up this in September-October 2015.

Yes, even though Trump was not a shoe-in at this point. They were going to frame him even if he didn’t get the nomination, as payback for questioning Zero’s birth certificate.

I really hope Trump is preparing an October surprise release of classified documents

Recused Jeff Sessions

I'm going to come out and declare the following:

Jeff Sessions endorsed Donald Trump and appeared at his Alabama rally on February 28, 2016.

Any action by the FBI that occurred in 2015 would be from BEFORE he joined the Trump campaign, and so should be exempt from Sessions' recusal.

Attorney General Sessions should not hold back from personally involving himself in actions that occurred before he became involved in the Trump campaign.

Congressman Matt Gaetz was in a meeting with Sessions in which Sessions spoke about the extent of his recusal.

“He said that anything that had to do with 2016 election, or Russia, or the candidates in the 2016 election, fell under the scope of his recusal, and he left the room,” Gaetz said.

Also, Hugh Hewitt asked Sessions if he was recused from the inquiry into the Hillary homebrew server matter and he said “yes.”

Open up every file

I agree.

Names and addresses of our spies in Iran? Okay -- that stuff can be redacted.
Sensitive details of advanced weapon systems like the F-35? Okay -- that stuff can be redacted.

Virtually everything else? Print it on the front page. The government has too many secrets and it's playing a dirty game and I think it's time we knew everything.

This needs to be investigated as part of the general law breaking of the Obama Administration.

Illegal methods, but methods, nonetheless. /S

Oh, yeah, Ryan, you moron, the way the FBI acted was right.

Read a little further, idiot. People are asking for immunity with promises to tell all the bad stuff and this genius says “Duh, I think they did the right thing.”

Unbelieveable.

I understand that, but at the time nobody knew the extent of the FBI abuses in 2015.

Like I said, Sessions didn't even join the campaign until February of 2016, so how can he be tainted when looking at what went on in 2015?

At the time of these alleged abuses, there were still 16 Republican primary candidates, only four Republican debates had taken place, and no voting had occurred yet. Even the John Podesta/DNC email "hack" didn't occur until March 2016, which was the start of the de facto Russia collusion excuse.

It would be safe to assume that the FBI abuses extended to more than just the Trump campaign at that time, so it would be unfair to single out Sessions since practically the entire GOP establishment would have to recuse themselves by being involved in the campaigns of one of the other 15 candidates at the time.

If the rest of the Republicans don't have to recuse themselves for their campaign involvement in 2015, why should Sessions?

It's interesting to note how the CIA/MI6 pay their assets.

They pay Halper hundreds of thousands for writing a 'paper' on China.

Halper paid Papadop $3,000 for a paper on Israeli gas fields as part of luring him to the UK.

These spies use cover of all these academic conferences and seminars to pay each other, because you can't put an objective value on speeches and papers.

It's the same game Bill Clinton uses. It seems obviously corrupt for some foreign country to bring him in and pay him $500,000 for thirty minutes of remarks. But their defense is, hey you can't second guess the value we put on a speech!

Here's how Papadop's wife Simona described working at Mifsud's operation in London:

The office in a smart Georgian terrace overlooking Lincoln’s Inn Fields in London was distinctly cramped. There was a single table, around which Mangiante and her colleagues perched. They brought their own laptops. The place was “very messy”, Mangiante said. “It felt like something was weird.”

Mifsud’s diplomatic activity, Mangiante now believes, was a facade. “I never met any Russians there … But the centre certainly wasn’t what it pretended to be.”

She described Mifsud as “quite intelligent”. He spoke to her in fluent Italian, had a good sense of humour and boasted of his political connections around the world.

She added, however: “He is sneaky, someone you can’t read. He was vague about everything. He wouldn’t answer questions directly. I could never understand what was behind it.”

...Meanwhile, Mangiante was not happy with her work in London. The entire institution seemed “fake”, “artificial”, with Mifsud interested solely in organising political meetings. “I didn’t smell a culture of academia,” she said.

The boss, the boyfriend and the FBI: the Italian woman in the eye of the Trump-Russia inquiry

Why make such an argument? Sessions is a big zero. Recused or not.

When the chief law enforcement agency in the country is the number one law breaker in the country we have a serious problem.
