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.

I don't know. The whole thing seems a little bit cockamamie, but it's out on the 'net if you want to read. OTOH, it might be some kind of hit job by Levin. He's quoted as saying that Sundance is a grocery store clerk.

As I've mentioned, anyone who has worked in any capacity preparing reports, detailed studies, etc can immediately recognize the quality of work is not something typically associated with a clerk.

Rather, it's pretty damn obvious this is a purposeful, internal 'leak' from the Trump team to provide a heads up to his supporters in the advance guard. Not sure if it's even one person preparing the analyses. Besides, it seems like it would be a rather dangerous job if one didn't have appropriate security.

This “Sundance” guy/gal is well informed, it would seem.

The myth of Woodward & Bernstein is that Deep throat was providing clues, but they did most of the research & investigative reporting.

The truth is pretty much 180 degrees back-asswards: Felt - playing the McCabe role - was driving the story-line, and using W&B as his publishing conduit via the Wapo.

So, if you're a bright guy like Trump, and you want to reprise the style, and dramatic, slow reveal of Watergate, how would you go about it? Why, copy the original of course.

So, rather than Sundance being some kind of pioneering investigative journalist, in actuality we probably have someone on the Trump team playing the Felt role (with Trump's knowledge and approval as part of an overall public 'softening up' campaign), and using CTH as their Wapo.

The alternative is some random, brilliant guy is just out their crunching the numbers, doing the detailed research, and then pulling it all together in a real-time, highly organized and methodical manner. You know, sort of like W&B were "brave" investigative journos. LOL

There were said to be 450 agents drafted by the IG for the investigation.

Those same agents can be used back at the FBI/DOJ to use the info to build perhaps hundreds of cases.

They were waiting to see if Trump would survive the coup attempt! (posted by rxsid on 1/05/2018)

Thanks, rxsid, for posting the above.

That has been on the back of the minds of a few of us.

More than likely, a some key Republicans were were warned that our Intel had some bad stuff on candidate, president elect and President Trump! So any support from them for
Trump was weak if at all.

That may be changing as the Trump/Russia bs is dying down.

It might reference a meeting to discuss the “dossier insurance plan” operation, perhaps with somebody very high in attendance, like Obama or HRC. That might warrant “eyes only.”

Could you explain further? Mark Levin? Who is his step kid and who is the step kid working for? Soon to be?

Sorry for all the questions, but if you can answer them, I’d be interested to know.

1. Re: Clinton booming economy. One reason that the libs like to hush up is that Clinton emptied our oil reserves. He flooded the market with cheap oil. Cheap energy = booming economy. It was left to Bush to rebuild the reserves. (At least I think he did.)

2. Is anyone else getting weird behavior from FR tonight? I click on Post Reply or View Replies and I get page 1 of the post instead. This is repeatedly happening and it takes me at least 2 or 3 tries to get to my intended page.

I bought my copy a couple of weeks after it was released. It is indeed an excellent book.

Loaned it to a friend, never got it back. A number of “informed” people read my copy and all were amazed. I got substantiation of many elements of it from very good sources.

There are things left out, but is a great read.

I will comment, there are things said and implied on the dust cover that are simply not true. Not in the actual book.

“The Hammer” is a massive computer system that was built by Dennis Montgomery under contract with the NSA and CIA, using FBI hardware. He says he was contracted to spy on massive numbers of people without warrants. He was also contracted to create software that would allow John Brennan and James Clapper to breach databases by undetectably downloading the whole database and undetectably uploading an altered database. An audit would show no changes made to the database because a whole new database was exchanged.

He says - and has the data showing - that his software was used to breach the Vital Records database of the Hawaii Dept of Health, as well as the DOH archives and HI governor’s office.

He also says his software was used to breach the FL voter database before the 2012 election.

Montgomery gave I think 6 terabytes? of data to the FBI in return for immunity, and one of Comey’s now-demoted henchmen sat on the information so that no investigation would be done.

It is said that the surveillance was done on key players in a lot of stuff the Obama regime cared about. Like SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia (IIRC), Joe Arpaio, Larry Klayman, other judges, etc.

As is typical of the Deep State, they gagged Montgomery and then had a reporter smear him while he was unable to defend himself. To really understand the Deep State you have to realize that they always use people who either are already compromised/bribeable, can be lied about while they are gagged, or can have fake “evidence” planted (like somebody in the fedgov planted classified records on Sharyl Attkisson’s computer...) These are their “insurance plans” to make sure nobody blows the whistle.

And that’s where you get the Congress-critter (can’t remember his name) saying if you go against the “intelligence community” (misnomer if ever there was one), they have ways of getting back at you 6 days from Sunday. He admitted straight-out that they use their so-called “national security” powers to retaliate against those who stand in their way.

I think Maxine Waters also referred to a huge database that was kept that would give the dems unbelievable powers. I don’t think anybody has gotten her to say exactly what she was talking about. But those comments by dems make it abundantly clear that they all knew about the crap that was going on (just like all Hollywood knew about Harvey Weinstein), even as they would call the “little people” like you or me “crazy conspiracists” if we mentioned such things.

Well, anyway, that’s more than you asked about. But “The Hammer” is a huge supercomputer that is capable of doing terrible, terrible things to the American public and to the opposition - and was used by John Brennan and James Clapper for precisely those things. Including sanitizing the records at the Hawaii Dept of Health, just as Brennan’s company three times breached Obama’s passport file to sanitize it.

During the primary when Mark Levin fought like crazy for Ted Cruz, at one point Sundance over at conservative treehouse revealed that the womanMark was about to marry had a son that was working on Cruz’s campaign. The inference was that that was why Levin was so pro Cruz and anti Trump. Levin flipped his lid over this being revealed and did a segment about how he keeps his private life private...most didn’t even know he had gotten divorced!

Obama's surveillance methods make J Edgar Hoover's police state blackmail look like child's play. The stuff that was done to Americans for the last decade is way beyond what anybody would believe, it couldn't have been in a fiction novel because it is NOT believable. Therefore the DEMONRAT press will ignore all of this until the "journalists" who were paid by FUSION GPS (for example) are arrested.

It is still too early to arrest the key players as there is more significant information that needs to be released. The arrests will start when they have the information that ties Hussein Obama and Hillary directly to the Obama treason.

The "journalists" reason they are way too smart to have had the DEMONRAT party use them like they are idiots. Ask CNN's Jim Costa how smart he is, he'll be glad to tell you it could never happen with people like him reporting the "news!"

“Useful idiots” is the KINDEST thing a person could say about the media.

But we have very strong evidence that ABC (at least) was part of the Fuddy hoax, and pulled in Trump’s image on their clip meant to libel people who saw through the phony Obama birth certificate. Somebody there added a layer to the audio to try to cover up the sound of the engine running smoothly. They knew what they needed to cover because they knew it was not an engine failure but a deliberate water landing. And they went along with deceiving the public by altering the evidence - just as NBC did with the George Zimmerman 911 call.

When you actually alter evidence because you know the real evidence would defeat your story, what you’re doing is called “lying”. But I think you’re right, that they think they are very smart as they p!ss on us and report that it is raining.

I hope there are sealed indictments and ankle monitors while the rest of the swamp is rounded up, and then the arrests become public.

Unfortunately, I don’t think this started with Obama, although his administration’s misuse of intelligence appears to have been far more egregious.

And that is exactly why Trump is such a threat. It’s a bi-partisan matter.
