The other secrets inside Grenell’s satchel are the key to the biggest political scandal in US history
American Thinker ^ | 14 May, 2020 | Thomas Lifson

That satchel that Acting DNI Ric Grenell personally delivered to the Department of Justice on May 7, 2020 was far too big for a just a list of the 39 Obama administration officials, including his chief of staff and ambassador to Italy. Those higher ups have been exposed as requesting the unmasking of General Flynn. But there must have been a lot more inside, and that material, voluminous to require a briefcase-sized container, and that is the key to exposing the real extent of the spy operation that President Obama carried out on his political enemies, and the unmasking of General Michael Fynn is just the tip of the iceberg.

That is the basic message of this long and fascinating post by retired naval officer J.E. Dyer at Liberty Unyielding. I urge those who take a keen interest in the subject to read the whole thing, for it is full of technical points and complexities, but I will offer my own perspective on the thesis advanced by Ms. Dyer who tweets under the name OptimisticCon. The post was sent to me by a counterintelligence professional who noted that it reinforced the point I made yesterday:

SNIP

The key message is that for years, the Obama administration was mining the incomparable database of the National Security Agency (NSA), which captured virtually all electronic communications – emails, text messages, everything – launched into the ether. The potential for abuse is breathtaking. Everything that political enemies said to each other, except in private in-person conversations or in snail mail letters, could have been spied upon. And now it looks like staggering numbers of intercepts were spied upon. Dyer makes that case:

When you consider the vastness and enormity of the operation to bring down Trump, and the means his adversaries went to to do it - the fact that he stands undamaged is practically unbelievable. Were I one of the people that tried to bring him down…yeah, I’d be pretty panicked. Makes me worry about last options - cornered animals are dangerous and unpredictable.

It's just routine, says Clapper.

Only if a majority of Republicans didn't turn a blind eye.

Maxine spilled the beans back in 2013.

The Kenyan from Indonesia was using every asset of the US government for political purposes.

ALL of it, NSA, CIA, FBI, IRS, you name it.

Roberts - I don’t think he could be bought. Instead, I believe that he was presented with very real and believable (and ongoing) threats to loved ones.

Sullivan - Easily bought for cheap, because he is a true believer. Now must keep going because his purchasers have ordered him to, or they will expose him.

Yep - waiting for the ‘Big Reveal’ - we must be close, the hornets are starting to come out of the nest. Even the ‘queen bee’ is disturbed.

Obama was spying on many people. He was intercepting Congressional communications to determine who was opposed to the Iran Deal so that they could be pressured (blackmailed?).

“Sullivan got the call.”

A Muslim sleeper cell IMO

maybe I'm the only good two shoes left...

That is the usurper’s ace in the hole.

It is because they turned a blind eye on Usurpation Day that they have been forced to cover up his crimes and undermine a President of their own party.

Roberts should confess what has been done to him, let the cards fall where they may, and save the republic.

It would be incredibly powerful if Roberts were to do that. I'm sure it would be "inappropriate" for the President and the Chief Justice to "make a deal" but it would save the republic. Roberts spills the beans, Trump pardons him, the world see how the Deep State imposes leverage on people.

No for nothing...we know Flynn was on one end of all these unmaskings...but who was on the other end of all these calls. What made many ALL seek unmasking at the same time.

I hope Grenell and Flynn have good security.

I used to think the same thing, but then again I would never want to be in their world in the first place.

Besides, it doesn’t matter. You can be squeeky clean and get Kavanaughed. No skeletons in the closet? Liars will come out of the woodwork like cockroaches with a little enticement.

Yawn. All we hear is this stupid hype. Month after month. Year after year. Yet not a single Democrat traitor has been indicted. NOT ONE. 6am armed raids on Roger Stone, but Andy McCabe is not even detained. Mike Flynn's life destroyed, but unregistered foreign agent (also for Turkey but also THREE other nations) Tony Podesta is not charged.

I don't believe Barr or Durham will do a damn thing. Change my mind.
