Time to Pay the Piper
By Monty Pelerin
FTA:
...
Attorney General William Barr is now tasked to investigate the origins of the phony investigation against President Trump. The assault is over. The king is still alive and sounds of the piper can be faintly heard.
Speculation abounds regarding what was done and by whom. Like him or loathe him, Donald Trump is now on the offensive and he holds all the cards. Watergate may end up looking like a jaywalking violation by the time this investigation is over.
For the sake of the country, the investigation should be thorough, fair, and reasonably quick. The punishment need be commensurate with the offenses and painful enough to dissuade future corruption of this type. Sunshine, the best disinfectant, is anathema to both Dracula and the Deep State, but dawn is here.

President Obama, was on a mission to “transform the country.” When you view the United States as a cruel and exploitative country responsible for much of the horrific abuses in the world, it is natural to disrespect its history, traditions, and laws. (Recall Michelle saying when Obama was sworn in that it was the first time she was proud of our country.) Also, recall Obama’s messianic approach to politics, including his “we are the ones we are waiting for.”
To correct for these injustices, you cannot be restrained by the same customs and laws that created them. Numerous Obama actions suggest a willingness to break or at least bend the norms and laws of this country:
* Gunrunning to Mexico in an effort to gain support for mitigating the Second Amendment.
* Cover-up and lies about Benghazi.
* Weaponizing the IRS against conservatives.
* Spying on journalists.

The Intelligence Community appears to have been unleashed against American citizens before Trump announced his intentions to run for office. Given what was deemed to be an infinitesimal chance of his winning, one wonders why any attention at all was paid to Trump, at least initially. Perhaps the ease with which the controls and checks and balances were vitiated in prior FISA abuses and unmaskings, made it seem almost “free” or “riskless” to engage in such behavior. If this thinking is correct, there is likely evidence to be uncovered regarding other Republican candidates, especially those considered as real opponents.

Panic Sets In
When Trump won the nomination, it was considered a blessing for the Democrats. It was “impossible” for him to win. Had Clinton won, none of this skullduggery would have surfaced. Many committing the crimes would have been carried forward in the Clinton Administration. It all would have been buried in some remote part of the Swamp. It seemed risk-free to continue the dirty tricks and illegalities.
Fortunately, Trump won. Had he not, the norms and integrity of government would have shifted downward to a lower level. The Swamp Creatures would have been emboldened to violate even more checks/balances and laws against opponents and citizens in the future.
Unfortunately (for the bad guys), Trump won. Panic ensued. To protect themselves, the bad guys had to develop a narrative that would stop Trump even after he had done the impossible and won the election. The election had to be overturned! Careers and lives depended on it.

Joe DiGenova blows the lid off the real scandal: the Russia hoax was a cover-up effort for Obama’s political spying since 2012
By Thomas Lifso
FTA:
Hold onto your hats. At last, we are on the verge of getting to the bottom of the weaponization of the nation’s top law enforcement and spy agencies to spy on political opponents, and it is far bigger than obtaining bogus FISA Court warrants to spy on Carter Page. Barack Obama’s minions have been spying on his political opponents since before his 2012 re-election, and the entire Russiagate hoax was an effort to cover-up that ongoing spying.
...
The basic story is that Admiral Mike Rogers, who was head of the NSA in the spring of 2016, discovered that the NSA’s comprehensive database collecting all electronic communications in the United States was being searched by unauthorized FBI “contractors” and moved to cut-off that access. He also visited Donald Trump, after which Trump moved his campaign HQ out of Trump Tower. Trump’s much-derided claim that his campaign was “wiretapped” likely also were the result of gaining this insight from Admiral Rogers
The subsequent launch of Crossfire Hurricane and the effort to obtain FISA warrants were not to initiate spying on the Trump campaign, but rather to provide legal grounding for the spying efforts on political opponents that had been underway for years.
Sundance at Conservative Treehouse picked up on the DiGenova interview and in his inimitable fashion lays out the background story from evidence already on the public record here, complete with many hyperlinks to sources. It is a long and complex post, but some of the key conclusions.
...
Joe DiGenova dropped one other bombshell that remains to be explored: that he believes that the NSA database contains the 30,000 emails that Hillary Clinton deleted from her server, and that the two US attorneys tasked with investigating the scandals will access those emails in the course of their investigations. Recall that US Attorney for Utah John Huber is investigating the handling of the dropped prosecution of her violations of national security law with her home brew server and possible crimes related to the Clinton Foundation, including presumably, the Uranium One acquisition of US uranium reserves by Russian interests and the massive donations to the Clinton Foundation.
Sarah Sanders vs. Chuck Todd: Does The President Expect James Comey To Be Arrested For Treason?
CHUCK TODD: I want to ask you about the decision to give the attorney general this unilateral authority to declassify intelligence. The order says the attorney general should consult with relevant agency heads but not that he has to. Why did the president not force the attorney general to consult with the, with the DNI and the head of the CIA? Here he’s giving him unilateral authority not to do it. Only saying he should do it but he doesn’t have to. Why?
SARAH SANDERS: The president has total confidence in the attorney general and his ability —
CHUCK TODD: But not the intelligence community?
SARAH SANDERS: — to make those decisions. We expect — certainly. That’s why we expect that the attorney general will consult with them on matters that he needs that guidance and advice from them. Certainly they work in lock step on a number of things. I don’t see this to be any different. The bottom line here is there was a lot of corruption at the FBI and the DOJ. We see constantly more and more things that have come out of that. And the president wants transparency and he’s given the attorney general the ability to put that transparency in place, make those decisions. And we’re not like at all concerned that the attorney general is not going to do everything that is necessary to make sure we’re protecting important intelligence that is vital to our national security.
CHUCK TODD: I’m trying to understand what outcome the president expects. He’s, he tweeted the following: “My campaign for president was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in American politics. A really bad situation. Treason means long jail sentences and this was treason.” Why did the president ask the attorney general to do an investigation if he’s already come to a conclusion, already decided what the penalty should be? And I think has already determined what the jail sentences should be? Isn’t this the president already playing judge and jury and putting his thumb on the scale here for whatever investigation he claims he wants Mr. Barr to do?
SARAH SANDERS: That’s pretty rich coming from the media who relentlessly covered and accused the president for over two years of being part of this massive election interference, something that never took place. The idea that anybody now says that the president doesn’t have the right and not only that Americans deserve the truth to push back and find out where all of this started is absurd. Literally for day after day after day the media and Democrats in Congress called the president a traitor to his own country and said that he cheated to become president. I mean the idea of that is absolutely outrageous that he had to endure that for two years. And now he wants to know where and why it started. And all of a sudden that’s a big deal? That is insane.
CHUCK TODD: Sarah, I didn’t ask about him —
SARAH SANDERS: I think the president is doing exactly what —
CHUCK TODD: No, no, no, no, Sarah I did not ask —
SARAH SANDERS: — he should be. And I think America is glad that he’s asking for that transparency.
CHUCK TODD: I didn’t ask whether he should ask those questions. He’s not asking questions anymore. He’s already made a judgment. That is much different. He’s already — will he accept a result of the attorney general saying, you know what, “Everything was done legally and on the up and up, Mr. President.” Will he accept that result from Bill Barr?
SARAH SANDERS: We already know that there was an outrageous amount of corruption that took place at the FBI. They leaked information. They lied. They were specifically working trying to take down the president, trying to hurt the president. We’ll leave the, the final call up to the attorney general and he’ll get to the bottom of it. But we think Americans deserve the truth.
CHUCK TODD: So he doesn’t —
SARAH SANDERS: The president’s asked for that. And we should expect nothing less.
CHUCK TODD: So the president is not going to accept exoneration if that’s what Bill Barr finds?
SARAH SANDERS: Look, I’m not going to get ahead of what the final conclusion is. But we already know that there was a high level of corruption that was taking place. We’ve seen that in the IG investigation that has already happened.
There’s a lot more there that we still need to know. And we’re going to let the attorney general do his job.
CHUCK TODD: Well it sounds like you’re not — that’s my point. It doesn’t sound like you want him to do his job. It sounds like you, the president has already determined the outcome.
SARAH SANDERS: Chuck, that’s the reason that he’s granted the attorney general the authority to declassify that information, to look at all the documents necessary is so that we can get to the very bottom of what happened. Once again, we already know about some wrongdoing. The president’s not wrong in that. But he wants to know everything that happened and how far and how wide it went. We know that there was corruption. Let’s see —
CHUCK TODD: Does he expect criminal charges? Does he expect — he’s accused James Comey of treason. Does he expect Jim Comey to be arrested?
SARAH SANDERS: Again, we’re going to let the attorney general make that determination as he gets to the conclusion of this investigation.
CHUCK TODD: So the president, he’s not going to accept —
SARAH SANDERS: But we certainly expect the people that were responsible and that were part of this unprecedented obstruction and corruption at the FBI, those people should certainly be held responsible and be held accountable and the president expects that to take place.
CHUCK TODD: So he expects an outcome that he wants, not an outcome that the facts lead to.
SARAH SANDERS: Chuck, I think you’re trying to muddy the waters too much here. We already know, once again that there was wrongdoing.
CHUCK TODD: I think what’s rich is who’s muddying waters.
SARAH SANDERS: Now we want to know how much there was. I don’t think it’s — well, I don’t think it’s crazy to want to know how far and how wide the corruption at the FBI was. And that’s what the president has asked the attorney general to find. And we’ll what happens.
