Judicial Watch: Records Reveal Tech Operatives Allegedly Used by Hillary Clinton Campaign to Spy on Trump WH Had Contract with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
JUDICIAL WATCH ^ | 2/16/2022 | Judicial Watch

Posted on 02/16/2022 6:28:11 PM PST by bitt

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 127 pages of records from the Georgia Institute of Technology of communications among four individuals. These records reveal that the individuals, who are mentioned in the Durham probe indictment of Michael Sussmann, worked with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) from 2016-2021. The documents also suggest the group was interested in targeting then-Trump campaign adviser Steve Bannon.

Judicial Watch obtained the records through an October 13, 2021, Georgia Open Records Act request for records of communication among Rodney Joffe, April Lorenzen, David Dagon, and Manos Antonakakis.

According to The New York Times:

Mr. Durham used a 27-page indictment to lay out a far more expansive tale, one in which four computer scientists who were not charged in the case ‘exploited’ their access to internet data to develop an explosive theory about cyberconnections in 2016 between Donald J. Trump’s company and a Kremlin-linked bank — a theory, he insinuated, they did not really believe.

***

The indictment’s “Originator-1” is April Lorenzen, chief data scientist at the information services firm Zetalytics. Her lawyer, Michael J. Connolly, said she has “dedicated her life to the critical work of thwarting dangerous cyberattacks on our country,” adding: “Any suggestion that she engaged in wrongdoing is unequivocally false.”

The indictment’s “Researcher-1” is another computer scientist at Georgia Tech, Manos Antonakakis. “Researcher-2” is Mr. Dagon. And “Tech Executive-1” is Mr. Joffe, who in 2013 received the F.B.I. Director’s Award for helping crack a cybercrime case, and retired this month from Neustar, another information services company.

In a court filing last week, Durham alleged this operation directly spied on Trump tower, Trump’s home, and the Trump White House by exploiting “access to non-public and/or proprietary Internet data.”

The anti-Trump operation used the “assistance of researchers at a U.S.-based university who were receiving and analyzing large amounts of Internet data in connection with a pending federal government cybersecurity research contract.”

As we all knew, everything was always right “there” if anyone bothered to look.

Now perhaps some see. But will it be once again swept under the rug? Or will this all snowball?

Just wow! The swamp gets so deep it floods Georgia as well. Explains a lot I guess.

Looks like The Hammer is still around. Why didn’t anyone smash it or take it while DJT was still in office?

Dang, I liked DARPA.
I hate to see them corrupted.
I think the robot competitions they hold are brilliant.

"As we all knew, everything was always right “there” if anyone bothered to look."

The criminals that worked on the Mueller investigation probably knew all of this, but conveniently ignored it, figuring that it would never be uncovered. The Mueller Report was supposed to be the final word on it all... so they thought. Mueller's report was turned over to Barr on March 22, 2019. Barr appointed Durham on May 13, 2019.

Officially, the CIA and National Security Agency (NSA) have a foreign surveillance mission and domestic spying is prohibited by the CIA's 1947 charter.

Obama and his thugs did not want/need any FISA warrants to spy on/monitor/surveil Candidate Trump or President Elect Trump.

Napolitano: Obama Admin Used British GCHQ To Spy On Trump During Campaign

Posted By Tim Hains On Date March 14, 2017

On Monday, Fox News Channel judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano alleged that three intelligence sources had confirmed to him that the Obama administration used GCHQ (Britain's NSA) to spy on President Trump during the 2016 election so that there would be no paper trail.

"Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the 'chain of command' to conduct the surveillance on Trump," he said. "Obama didn’t use the NSA, he didn’t use the CIA, he didn’t use the FBI, and he didn’t use the Department of Justice."

"What happened to the guy who ordered this? Resigned three days after Trump took office," he added.*

GCHQ nor Obama did nor required any paperwork to monitor and spy on candidate Trump.

All Obama had to do was have his AG Lynch make a phone call to Robert Hannigan @DCHQ and tell him to monitor candidate Trump and his people. No FISA stuff or judges nor paper trails.

Well, well, well.

This is certainly involving interesting agencies. Quite fascinating.

Methinks an artery of the Derp State has just been laid bare.

Yep. Halper was DOD, too. I don’t believe that was ever followed up on substantively. Good thing, though, that the GOP Senate grilled Don Jr. for 30 hours and spent 1,000 of man hours on the red herring Russia hoax.

These criminals were being paid to spy on President Trump. The hubris here should be breathtaking but at this point its just no surprise at all.

All kinds of crap was done to get Trump.

The FBi moved agents from NY to DC, and it seems that among the Conspirators their Spouses did very well.

Strzok was promoted immediately after securing a FISA warrant (first application was denied) when another phase of their Op was launched. They were celebrating.

This was what they were born to do, in their eyes.

They moved a Spy from London to US to interview for positions inside the Trump WH.

They hatched traps for Papadopolous. They had Crossfire Hurricane Agents replace others to give Trump briefings, so they could not only report his reactions, but gain his trust.

Strzok wrote about speaking to members of Trump’s Secret Service detail to use them in the Op, and he also had a contact in Pence’s office, via a spouse. They talked about exploiting those assets and approaching a FISA Judge at a cocktail party since Strzok was very close to him.

Somma relocated to DC and first day there was the day they first interviewed Sussmann.

Somma made 17 errors on a FISA, after the first application was denied, and all 17 coincidentally hurt Trump and furthered the Coup.

Sally Yates lied to Congress and told them Trump nor his people were ever under surveillance or monitored, and she signed several of the FISA warrants!

They had an asset give money to Papadopolous overseas and Strzok and his boys where waiting at the Airport when he came home to arrest him, and he didn’t have the money! They were shocked and called headquarters. Money has to be declared and a luggage case full of money was going to be on the Front page of the New York Times, but Papadopolous ditched the money and his tail missed it.

Funny you mention Georgia because as soon as Sally Yates refused orders from Trump, she was lauded in the press as a possible governor of Georgia.

Cloward-Piven floods so much sewage into the system you don’t know where the stench is strongest from.

...where Stephan Halper had a high priced contract all the way from Britain! Of course the Deep State is as incestuous as a Kaintuckee hollow!
