Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Tired of all this #Winning yet? Part I – The Pantsuit Princess responded to rumors that she has been wearing some sort of large back brace which protrudes above her shoulders by wearing an $1,100 Hermes scarf. So, why do we classify this as #Winning? Because any normal, honest person would simply explain the reason for the back brace that she is obviously wearing. Anytime any of the dishonest hacks who lead the Democrat Party get caught in another act of dishonesty is #Winning. Period.
Tired of all this #Winning yet? Part II – Just in case you thought that CNN poll showing the Democrats’ edge in the generic congressional ballot question had all but disappeared was a fluke, Reuters issued its own poll on Thursday, and it gets even better. Where the CNN poll showed a 3 point edge for the Democrats – within the poll’s margin of error – the Reuters poll pegs the D advantage at just…wait for it…1 percent. The Democrat margin in the Reuters poll released just three weeks ago had the Democrats holding an 11 point lead. That’s #Winning. Bigly.
My name is Devin Nunes, and I am here to drop another bomb. Boom. – House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy met with Justice Department officials on Thursday for a “briefing” related to documents both Republicans have demanded the DOJ provide their committees.
The document in question is an official communication sent in late July, 2016 from then-CIA Director John Brennan to then-FBI Director and current teenage drama queen James Comey. This electronic communication – or “EC” – formed the official justification for Comey’s decision on July 31, 2016 to initiate a counter-intelligence operation targeting the Donald Trump Campaign. That EC from Brennan also led to the DOJ’s obtaining of a FISA warrant to wiretap Trump Tower and otherwise spy on the Trump Campaign and Transition Team.
This is a very important document, because it is basically the germinating event that ultimately led to the appointment of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel, and all the of the anti-Trump conspiracy that has brought up to today. No congressional committee or other investigating body can possibly get to the bottom of everything that has taken place without having access to that Brennan communication, the EC.
Nunes has for months demanded to see an unredacted version of this document, because he is especially interested to know the name of a specific person who is named within it, and who Brennan claimed had provided him with “intelligence” on the Trump Campaign that supposedly made him concerned enough to want to begin this counter-intelligence operation. The Washington Post reports that DOJ and the intelligence community don’t want to reveal the person’s name for the familiar “might reveal sources and methods” excuse that these agencies always use to justify their coverups. The Post also notes that this person has already been identified to the Mueller investigation and has been cooperating with it for months.
So, Mueller gets full information but congressional committees with oversight responsibility do not. See how this works?
And a coverup it is, make no mistake about that. As Kimberly Strassel notes in a great Wall Street Journal piece, what all this means is that it is very likely that the FBI, well before it received Brennan’s EC justifying the counter-intelligence operation against the Trump Campaign, had either planted an operative within the Trump Campaign or who was interacting with Trump officials in an effort to dirty them up.
As Strassel puts it:
“When government agencies refer to sources, they mean people who appear to be average citizens but use their profession or contacts to spy for the agency. Ergo, we might take this to mean that the FBI secretly had a person on the payroll who used his or her non-FBI credentials to interact in some capacity with the Trump campaign.
This would amount to spying, and it is hugely disconcerting. It would also be a major escalation from the electronic surveillance we already knew about, which was bad enough. Obama political appointees rampantly “unmasked” Trump campaign officials to monitor their conversations, while the FBI played dirty with its surveillance warrant against Carter Page, failing to tell the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that its supporting information came from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now we find it may have also been rolling out human intelligence, John Le Carré style, to infiltrate the Trump campaign.”
On August 15, 2016, FBI Super Duper Agent Peter Strzok – himself a part of the FBI’s counter-intelligence division – exchanged texts with his passionate lover, DOJ Attorney Lisa Page about an “insurance policy” the DOJ/FBI anti-Trump cabal had in place. Thanks to the efforts of Devin Nunes, we most likely discovered the nature of that “insurance policy” yesterday.
Ms. Strassel closes her piece by saying she believes she knows the identity of this FBI plant. It’s pretty obvious that Nunes and Gowdy do as well, but are seeking absolute confirmation before deciding what to do about it.
We keep seeing people in the media toss out the fact that President Trump could end all the speculation by simply declassifying this document, and that is true. So, why doesn’t he do that, since doing so would likely be to his ultimate advantage vis a vis the Mueller investigation.
The simplest and most probable explanation for that is that this “source” is, in addition to cooperating with the Mueller investigation, also cooperating with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz and Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber in their own investigations into all the wrongdoing that has taken place within the DOJ and FBI since mid-2016.
Boom.
Just another day in Donald Trump just keeps on Winning America.
That is all.

Shouldn’t Brennan be arrested first?

Yes, this has been a Brennan operation from the word go.

If true, Brennan violated the CIA basic original founding rules to never spy/monitor/order surveillance on American citizens.
Proof of this would make him and his FBI thugs like Comey guilty of sedition and harmful tampering/meddling with and in the presidential election of 2016.

If I may summarize, the REAL culprit in attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election is the US GOVERNMENT.
...the US government under the fraud and traitor, nobama.
Nunes at work 24/7.
Never trust a Muslim convert.
“”It looks like Brennan may have set up the mole inside the Trump campaign to monitor the workings of the campaign””
And he’s managed to stay off the hot seat all this time.
I still don’t know what authority he had as the CIA Director to even get involved in this...They do not operate on U. S. soil so what’s the answer to that? Why isn’t a big deal being made of that?
I saw Hannity last night and he almost fall out of his chair when the WSJ article was brought up. I think it was Sara Carter who brought it up and I forget who the other guest was. Maybe Gorka? Sean said that she had been proven right in her other reports so he wasn’t going to reject her analysis on this.
“”If true, Brennan violated the CIA basic original founding rules to never spy/monitor/order surveillance on American citizens.””
Thanks - as usual I didn’t read all the posts before I posted but I fail to understand it also. I do not understand WHY this isn’t being screamed over all cable TV - well, except for the usual culprits...

The answer is simple.
Our mediots are controlled from the top down, and the DOJ/FBI by the Deep State Thugs along with the DNC.
“”If this is what happened, this is the most frightening scandal in American history. All those involved should be executed by a firing squad.””
I believe that is exactly what Hannity expressed last night on his show....biggest scandal in our history!! Who can disagree with that?
Felonia von Pantsuit just collected $5.5 million from the New Zealand government for the “Clinton Health Initiative.”
WHAAAAATTTT???
This is why I have lost faith in Jeff Sessions.....
Thanks for the heads-up on Whatfinger.com. On looking at it I find rather than “all the latest events in real time,” it lags hours behind FreeRepublic. And since an aggregator is only as good as the sources you choose to link to, my preference is Feedly.com.
