This is getting as complicated as Clinton’s Whitewater scandal.
You can’t tell the players without a scorecard anymore. When all is said and done, we are going to need a 500 page book detailing everyone involved, what they did, and how they did it. It may take more pages than that. This conspiracy is as massive as it is convoluted.
Unfortunately, confusing things don’t play well with most voters.
Right. Stunned right up to the time bongino was tying boente back to eastrrn dist VA........and then video cut off
I think l got enough to get close to the tie in to assange indictment
The KEY to much of this, as I see it and from reading this article, is WHO ordered the FBI NOT to physically examine the DNC’s “hacked” computer/network and why they DID NOT get a search warrant/subpoena for any of the “Crossfire” “test” results about the reported hack.
No hack, no Russian interference, NO COLLUSION.
Find out who quashed the Crossfire/DNC server investigation and you’ve got one or more DOJ/FBI rats from the DEEP STATE SEWER!!
That would revolve around James Comey, Peter Stzok, FBI general counsel James Baker, and this CrowdStrike con man, who was colluding with DNC laywer and Perkins Coie partner Michael Sussmann: Dmitri Alperovitch.
CrowdStrike has figured prominently in the Democratic National Committee cyber attacks and the attribution of those attacks to Russian intelligence services. On March 20, 2017 during testimony before congress, James Comey stated "CrowdStrike, Mandiant, and ThreatConnect review[ed] the evidence of the hack and conclude[d] with high certainty that it was the work of APT 28 and APT 29 who are known to be Russian intelligence services."[20] However, the FBI did not independently verify these findings because the DNC refused to give the FBI access to the server.[21] On July 13, 2018, the U.S. Justice Department indicted 12 Russian officials who were allegedly responsible for the DNC attack.[22] In December 2016, CrowdStrike released a report[23] stating that Russian government-affiliated group Fancy Bear had hacked a Ukrainian artillery app. They concluded that Russia had used the hack to cause large losses to Ukrainian artillery units. The app (called ArtOS) is installed on tablet PCs and used for fire-control.[24] The earliest version of the app (supported until 2015) was called POPR-D30 and installed on Android phones and tablets. CrowdStrike found a hacked variation of POPR-D30 being distributed on Ukrainian military forums that utilized an X-Agent implant.[25] The International Institute for Strategic Studies rejected CrowdStrike's assessment of hacking causing losses to Ukrainian artillery units, saying that their data on Ukrainian D30 howitzer losses was misused by CrowdStrike in their report. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense also rejected the CrowdStrike report, stating that actual artillery losses were "several times smaller than the number reported by [CrowdStrike] and are not associated with [Russian hacking]".[26] Cybersecurity firm Secureworks discovered a list of email addresses targeted by Fancy Bear in phishing attacks.[27] The list included the email address of Yaroslav Sherstyuk, the developer of ArtOS.[28] While Secureworks did not publish complete lists of individuals it believed were hacked, it concluded that "the majority of the activity appears to focus on Russia's military involvement in eastern Ukraine".[27] Additional Associated Press research supports CrowdStrike's conclusions about Fancy Bear.[29] Radio Free Europe [=CIA front--Fedora] notes that the AP report "lends some credence to the original CrowdStrike report, showing that the app had, in fact, been targeted."[30]: CrowdStrike
Immediately following the April 28, 2016, detection, DNC CEO Amy Dacey called Michael Sussmann, a DNC lawyer and partner with Perkins Coie. After speaking with Dacey, Sussmann contacted Shawn Henry, CSO and president of CrowdStrike. It strikes as mildly odd that the DNC’s first call would be to outside legal counsel. Dacey would later resign as CEO of the DNC on Aug. 2, 2016. Despite DNC characterizations that the FBI failed to provide proper notification, it appears the FBI was persistent in attempts to warn the DNC regarding their ongoing vulnerability. But DNC resistance to FBI overtures didn’t end with the FBI’s final set of warnings in March. FBI attempts to investigate the April 2016 DNC server breach were surprisingly rebuffed. Former FBI Director James Comey stated during testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee that the FBI made “multiple requests at different levels,” but wasn’t granted access to the DNC servers. Instead, the FBI was forced to rely on data provided by CrowdStrike. . .Which brings us back to a question that’s never been adequately explained. Why did the DNC refuse the FBI physical access to their servers. . .On March 9, 2016, one day before the first phishing attempts were reportedly made on the Clinton Campaign, then-NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers became aware of potential problems when he discovered the FBI was using independent contractors who were allowed improper access to surveillance data. A declassified Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) document released in April 2017 showed that the FBI had provided private contractors access to raw Section 702 surveillance data. This access wasn’t controlled or monitored. These private contractors have never been disclosed by the government. “Their access was not limited to raw information for which the FBI sought assistance and access continued even after they had completed work in response to an FBI request,” wrote the FISC in its report. On the same day as Rogers’s discovery, FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was the lead agent on both the Clinton email investigation and the counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign, sent a text referencing a “HUGE f-up.” FBI agents would visit the Clinton campaign later that same month. On April 18, 2016, Rogers shut down the FBI’s outside contractor access to the FISA search system. On that same day, the DNC was officially hacked by Russia, according to their lawsuit.: Many Unanswered Questions Remain About the DNC Server Hacking
Congressional investigators have confirmed that a top FBI official met with Democratic Party lawyers to talk about allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion weeks before the 2016 election, and before the bureau secured a search warrant targeting Trump’s campaign. Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the Democratic National Committee’s private law firm. . .Baker was interviewed by lawmakers behind closed doors on Wednesday. Sources declined to divulge much about his testimony, other than to say it confirmed other evidence about the contact between the Perkins Coie law firm and the FBI. The sources said Baker identified lawyer Michael Sussman, a former DOJ lawyer, as the Perkins Coie attorney who reached out to him and said the firm gave him documents and a thumb drive related to Russian interference in the election, hacking and possible Trump connections. . .: Collusion bombshell: DNC lawyers met with FBI on Russia allegations before surveillance warrant
Sussman had his internship with the DNC, meeting Jimmy Carter. Yet Carter’s early presidential campaign was not the most historic event he was being exposed to — his uncle, Barry Sussman, was then an editor at the Washington Post, Michael Sussman recounts, and it was in Barry’s home that the now famous Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein began their investigation. “So I was able to see the origins of the Watergate case as it was developed in their basement in Barry’s house in Potomac, Maryland, and then during the days I worked with Jimmy Carter,” Sussman said about his 1973 experience.: A Lifelong Democrat and Famed Civil Rights Attorney, Michael Sussman Runs for Attorney General as a Green (Recall Bernstein was involved in the original CNN story on the Russia dossier.)
The “get Trump” narrative is not all that complicated, even though the play has 100 players. Much of the complication at this point is developing the narrative from scattered bits and pieces of evidence; plus the players are blowing smoke
The Obama administration and other forces aligned against Trump (McCain, to name one) used multiple dirty tricks to change the outcome of the election, and when that failed, to cause the presidency to be terminated via any means.
illegal and unconstitutional surveillance using FBI and NSA resources
legal but unethical misleading of FISA court to obtain defense against those criminal acts
legal but unethical use of foreign agencies to advance the “official investigation”
legal but unethical leaking of false accusation to the press
legal but unethical lying by the press - persistent and pervasive
legal but unethical assignment of DNC hacking to Russians, and them connected to Trump
legal but unethical surveillance using informants
legal but unethical attempts to frame the Trump campaign with
- Papadopoulus
- Page
- Caputo
- Russian lawyer / Trump Tower meeting
- Others, unknown
legal but unethical reporting to Congress that Trump was under counterintelligence investigation
legal but unethical misleading of Trump by tainted holdover advisors
legal but unethical tainting of Trump by Congressional investigation based on false accusation
The US government, not the Russians, hacked the US election process. The US government lied to the public about all of this. Nothing it reported is true.
Then there is the “exonerate Hillary” narrative, which had the same purpose, to hack the US election using the federal “justice” system.
We have a failed and degenerate government. We have a failed and degenerate press.

Bongino-Curious Case of Assange (Explains How Dana Boente Holds The Keys)

(the first 30 minutes are great ..........)
No, you can’t - it is faulty reasoning. You can’t assign blame for something that didn’t happen.
Jeff is THE WORST pick by any leader in politics. He is second worst when you go outside politics, such as Military, and Benedict Arnold.

You’re so right. For reasons I can’t understand, some people believe that Sessions is part of an elaborate plan whereby his ineptitude is a ruse for a larger sting. These people are children in adult bodies.
You claim that Donald Trump’s presidency is crippled and devastated - those are YOUR words.
You must watch a lot of fake news - that’s the narrative they push 24/7 - but you couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Donald Trump’s presidency is highly functional, and he is one of the most successful, productive Presidents in modern history.
If you don’t believe Mueller, thanks to being empowered by the Magoo recusal, has damaged the Trump administration, I can’t help you. There are other threads where he is defended, but I don’t participate on them. Furthermore, people such as yourself, who believe there would be a fundamental problem with an administration going after convictions against Democrats - even when they deserve it - (your words) - are damaging this nation by advocating for a dual justice system and I prefer not to interact with them.
For three years we’ve heard doom and gloom predictions from the fake news and from pearl clutchers such as yourself.
President Trump is winning - he’s not “damaged”, or “devastated” or “crippled”, as you say.
This fake RussiaGate coup attempt was a shameful, expensive and criminal episode, and I would be thrilled to see the perpetrators locked up, and justice served.
However, as a political consequence, it’s not Trump that is hurt by this - it only makes him look good. The record shows that he was the innocent victim of a shameful political witch hunt, and that not only was he innocent, but his cooperation and transparency was unprecedented. The American people will reward him for that by re-electing him in a landslide.
It is his political enemies that need to worry. The Leftist media, the DNC, the neverTrumpers, the Obama legacy and the whining pearl clutchers and RINOs who are suffering a total loss of credibility here. They were proven wrong yet again.
They’ve predicted Trump’s demise a hundred times and each time they were proven wrong.
This fear of yours that Trump is “crippled”, or “damaged” or “devastated” will also prove to be unfounded.
Stay tuned for the best re-election ever!
No you wouldn't.
Here is a comment you made on 4/15/19
Go shower someone else with your nonsense. Your past comments aren't your friend.
I stand by my past comments. I would LOVE to see Obama and Clinton go to jail.
However, not pursuing that is the smartest thing Trump ever did.
Wow. Irony.
Is that too complicated for you?
So Barr isn't perusing perusing criminality? Pray tell, what is it he's doing? As far as your bilge about how smart it is not to lock up politicians, what about Flynn? Stone? Why is it that people like you ask for Trump to play nice when socialists have taken Rs as political prisoners? A two-tiered system of justice is a better for you? If yes, please don't reply back. We have absolutely nothing in common.
I’m not asking Trump to play nice. I’m just glad he’s played smart and not taken your advice.
