Giuliani says WH wants briefing on classified meeting, thinks it could end Mueller probe (Updated)
The Hill ^ | May 25, 2018 | John Bowden

Posted on 05/25/2018 4:23:31 PM PDT by jazusamo

Rudy Giuliani said Friday that the White House wants a classified briefing with the details shared with lawmakers this week on the origin of the FBI's Russia investigation, and hopes to use that information to justify ending Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation.

In an interview with The Associated Press, the former New York City mayor said that the White House wants a readout of the information presented to lawmakers, particularly on the FBI's use of Stefan Halper, an informant who contacted several members of the Trump campaign.

“If the spying was inappropriate, that means we may have an entirely illegitimate investigation,” Giuliani said of Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

This breaking news story will be updated.

Schiff’s Schiff-for-brains head is going to explode spraying Schiff all over the place, and if there is a fan nearby, well, you get the picture.

Nunes and Gowdy haven’t commented on what they saw.....I mean not even in a general sense

I suspect that may mean there is some beef there as to why they opened up the investigation after all

Rudy has been all over the map saying things for the last few weeks. We’ll see how things look next week.
If such a show-down meeting occurs, I hope there are at least two other legal minds studying the available data along with Rudy. This group can work on any public statements, should anything be said about it.

Why would Guiliani publicly explain their strategy? That will be the spin from the media and Dems all weekend.

Game, Set, Match.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED, FOLKS. THIS IS IT.

Start of Rex' comments as follows:

1. I think I may have discovered what the DOJ & FBI are desperately trying to hide.

It was POTUS Obama himself who authorized the use of surveillance on Team Trump.

2. The surveillance may have been conducted by UK intelligence - and then fed back to Obama’s IC thugs, for unmasking in the US.

Let me explain.

3. Here's the thing.

An American POTUS can LEGALLY authorize electronic surveillance 'without a court order...to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year’.

Yes, it's true. Obama had legal authorization to by-pass the normal court vetting process.

4. Such power lies in 50 U.S. Code § 1802 -

Electronic surveillance authorization without court order; https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1802 …

5. ‘Foreign intelligence information’ in relation to a ‘US person’ (eg Team Trump) is information that’s necessary for the US to protect against attack, hostile acts, sabotage, terrorism, as well as ‘clandestine intel activities’ /...

6. /...by a foreign power, or agent of a foreign power (Russia), OR information relevant to the national defense/ security of the US, or the conduct of the foreign affairs of the US.

7. Now, this authorization by POTUS (eg Obama) requires certification by the AG (eg Lynch - DOJ) that MUST be lodged with ‘the court’ (eg FISC):

'The (AG)+ shall immediately transmit under seal to the court ...(FISC).. a copy of his certification.'

8. So if my analysis is correct, a copy of that certification is currently under seal AT LEAST with the FISC & DOJ.

THAT'S what they're trying to desperately hide.

9. But that's just the start.

The Act says that the AG has to keep the Select Committee on Intelligence AND the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence informed of these authorizations AND unmaskings under them.

See 1802 (a) (1) (C), above.

10. If this is what's happened, my bet is that Lynch didn’t bother reporting, or selectively reported to the Committees in a way that excluded non-friendlies.

NOW can you see why Schiff, Feinstein, Warner & Co are frightened?

11. Connect dots :

#1 - Obama authorized electronic surveillance on Team Trump, by-passing normal judicial oversight.

12. #2- to create 'foreign intelligence', Brennan and others organized for UK intelligence, to conduct surveillance on Team Trump (either from UK, or from a UK govt asset within the US).

Thats why the Brits were brought in.

13. #3 - Obama's authorization was certified by AG Lynch and is now held under seal by the DOJ (and FISC).

The DOJ are terrified of making this known.

14. #4 - From Obama’s authorization, ALL the unmasking followed, as well as the FBI fraudulent counter-intel investigation AND perhaps the FISA warrant, too.

That reels in all the Obama THUGS.

15. Now, why is this a CRIME?

Obama's authorization was based on MANUFACTURED EVIDENCE (the Fusion GPS Dossier, secretly funded by the Clinton, DNC & Obama).

16. You can be certain - Obama KNEW it was FAKE, when he made the authorization. As did Lynch, when she certified it. Obama’s entire ‘inner circle’, the ‘Secret Society’, ALL KNEW.

That’s what will come out.

17. They were trying to frame an innocent citizen and destroy a political rival using 'trumped up' evidence (lol). These were genuine police state tactics. This is the sort of thing that happens in Putin’s Russia. Or Mugabe's Zimbabwe.

18. If true, it takes the US into totally uncharted territory.

It also has grave ramifications for any UK politician or official, who was involved in any way.

19. A POTUS himself, hatching a plan to destroy an American using fake evidence?

I really hope it ISN'T true.

But I suspect it may well be.

And that what's coming is far, FAR worse than any of us may have thought.

The end.

20. ADDENDUM : in this interview, @SaraCarterDC points out that the applications to the FISC for the original & subsequent warrants may reveal 'the smoking gun'.

21. Importantly, @SaraCarterDC notes that each new application must include the earlier supporting intel. IOW, an 'evidence' trail of compounded 'intel'.

Now the law says that Obama's authorization & Lynch's certification - if made - had to be issued to the FISC under seal.

22. However, given that the crooks had failed to get a FISA the first time, earlier in 2016, it's reasonable to conclude that Obama's authorization/Lynch's certification (again, if made) was included as part of the October FISA application.

We're getting close, folks.

The end.

23. ADDENDUM #2: OK it seems that this theory is getting a lot of interest.

I'm going to add this, which would be consistent with the UK government discovering illegal use of UK intelligence power as part of the illegal framing of Trump.

24. Note the date of Hannigan's 'resignation' - 23 January, 2017. Just after the inauguration.

You know what that means, if it's related?

Trump has known EVERYTHING since then.

Will keep you updated.

If the GOP didn't have loose cannons, they would have no cannons at all. :)

You think the congressional Republicans are "friendlies"?

What they're hiding is that McConnell and Ryan have known all about this since the beginning.

Brilliant Summary. (Ping to post #7.)

Soon roll out of RICO special prosecutor? ( Racketeering Influence,Corrupt Organization).

Sessions has lost control of this altogether.That’s a good thing.

KA-BOOM, there’s the endgame. The entire Russia Collusion Hoax was based on a lie.

All the earlier noise from Rudy Guiliani was a deception to reach this point and the time has almost arrived. Likely, it will follow not precede the release of the DOJ IG Report.

Clearly, Rudy as a counselor to President Trump well knows the contents of the read-out from the briefing. His objective is to drag it out into the sunlight, humiliate the DNC Media and Mueller with it and have him pull the plug and exit stage left with his tail between his legs.

Oh, we loved him so in NYC,. He refused to tolerate BS.

“Why would Guiliani publicly explain their strategy? That will be the spin from the media and Dems all weekend.”

He’s foreshadowing what the briefing laid out on the table. He’s putting it out there because there is no defense for what’s in those documents.

The time has come to reveal the true underlying nature of the entire Russia Collusion Hoax.

Masterful. Mate in 3.

Rudy had them following his laser pointer in circles while he was doing something entirely different with the other hand.

You are conflating the warrantless 1802 (Obama's authorization & Lynch's certification) with what ended up being the Carter Page warrant.
