Substantive Elements of The Big Story Behind The Mueller Special Counsel Purpose…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 19 Aug, 2020 | sundance

Posted on 08/19/2020 6:26:17 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Foolishness and betrayal of our country have served to reveal dangers within our present condition. Misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, is neither safe nor wise. The intelligence apparatus was weaponized against a candidate by those who controlled the levers of government. This is what AG Bill Barr needs to explain to the nation.

The purpose behind briefing Durham’s lead investigator William Aldenberg was essentially to provide an understanding of what we the people already know. The purpose behind releasing the investigator name is to cut through the chaff and countermeasures and give face to the unit holding the precarious responsibility of sunlight.

The position of Bill Barr, and indeed our nation today, is a direct result of decisions made by Main Justice -as run by the special counsel- in the Fall of 2017 & Summer of 2018.

The events surrounding the leaking of the FISA warrant used against U.S. person Carter Page; the purposeful cover-up by Andrew Weissmann; and the downstream 2018 DOJ decision not to prosecute SSCI Security Director James Wolfe for those leaks, was the fork in the road moment for the Department of Justice – and the institutions of government as a whole.

This was a coup attempt. It should be handled as one. Those trying to cover it up are accomplices after the fact and should be prosecuted too. Muller has to be made an example to all government employees.

Pro-Trump Russiagate Doc in the Works From Daughter of Hollywood Legend (Exclusive)
Hollywood Reporter
There’s a hush-hush Russiagate documentary on the horizon from a director who hails from Hollywood royalty. But this one makes the case for President Trump. Amanda Milius, daughter of legendary screenwriter-director ...

FORTUNATELY, FOUND THE REST OF THE ARTICLE & TRAILER BELOW:

19 Aug: Michael Smith News Australia: ABC 4 Corners take note - ‘The Plot Against The President’, the true story behind your Russia collusion invention
VIDEO TRAILER: 3m28s
From Hollywood Reporter:
Amanda Milius, daughter of legendary screenwriter-director John Milius and a State Department alum, has directed The Plot Against the President, based on Lee Smith’s 2019 best-seller of the same name.

Milius, who optioned the book in manuscript form last summer and stepped down in early March from her post as the deputy assistant secretary for content in the State Department’s Bureau of Global Public Affairs, began working on the doc in secrecy shortly thereafter. Over the past three months, she interviewed Russiagate critics including Rep. Devin Nunes, Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Mike Cernovich and Roger Stone as well as Gen. Michael Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell.

Milius’ father, the screenwriter of such classics as Apocalypse Now and Dirty Harry, is such a larger-than-life figure in Hollywood that he has inspired characters in at least two films: The Big Lebowski (played by John Goodman) and Zeroville (Seth Rogen). His politics have long deviated from the industry’s centrist Democratic leanings (he and Charlton Heston served on the board of the NRA at the same time). Amanda, who attended USC’s School of Cinematic Arts and worked in the film industry for a decade, shares his pro-Trump sentiments.
“Weirdly, I’ve had random people in and out of L.A. claim my father somehow got me my job in politics when I began working for the administration, which is really odd,” she tells THR. “I never got accused of nepotism in Hollywood, which is where it lives, you’d think. But that’s definitely not what happened. I walked into a campaign office and volunteered. My dad is not buddies with the president. He loves him. But they don’t know each other. Though they would absolutely get along. Actually, my dad would make a great defense secretary. Full Dr. Strangelove energy.”

The elder Milius wasn’t involved in Plot Against the President, but his daughter says he’s excited to see it and is “very obsessed with the story as it unfolds in the news.”
The film was financed by a handful of private investors that the Washington-based director declines to name. She produced alongside Jonathan Eisenman. The production companies are Wollman Prods. and 1AMDC Prods. The producers are currently in talks with a few distributors and are planning an Oct. 1 release in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. Milius says the film will offer several additional bombshells that weren’t included in the book, whose thesis is that a coup was engineered by the American establishment elite, including the media, and targeted the president as well as the democratic process. (The author is a Middle East correspondent for The Weekly Standard.)

The director, who also is the daughter of actress Celia Kaye, shot more than 70 hours of footage and is currently editing the film. She says Plot Against the President should appeal beyond conservatives and is significant to both Republicans and Democrats. In fact, a small but notable group of progressive commentators and academics including Glenn Greenwald and Stephen F. Cohen have expressed skepticism and outrage over Russiagate and the way the intelligence community conducted surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016.
“I definitely think this ought to be of extreme interest to all Americans because surveillance and law enforcement abuses are not a partisan issue,” says Milius, who also courted high-profile left-wing voices for the film. “This isn’t about the campaign. It’s not even really about the president exactly. It’s about people with power behaving badly and the destruction of democracy and American institutions.”

" A prosecution of Wolfe would have exposed a complicit conspiracy between corrupt U.S. intelligence actors and the United States senate. Two branches of government, the executive and the legislative, essentially working on one objective; the removal of a sitting president. The special counsel and DOJ decision protected multiple U.S. agencies and congress."

While I have a good idea of whom the senate rat quisling are, names of gop traitors need exposure to sunlight as well.

Yeah, The Conservative Treehouse is always solid. Like "Just the News", "The Federalist", "Judicial Watch", Bongino's daily podcast, Limbaugh.
Am missing many, but Free Republic is the first-stop shop every morning for this old duffer. FR is ALWAYS great!

Blather describes him perfectly.

I might add narcissistic blather. After all he is the smartest person in the universe. Or so he says.

This is a fantastic summary by Sundance. What has me screaming is the fact that corrupt Senator Burr (NC) allowed the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) get handed off to Mark Warner (idiot D Senator from Virginia) for leadership throughout this evil scheme and cover-up. Nothing happened to Wolfe; all the other deep-state players; Mueller was able to run his investigation through to the end, lying all the way. And if, God forbid, Trump doesn’t wen in November, all of this will be flushed down the Memory Hole.
