In FACT Clinesmith was working for US, the American Citizen and Taxpayer.

I was a skeptic for a long time. No more. There was a conspiracy from the Oval Office to the DOJ, FBI and media to obstruct the orderly transfer of power to a duly elected president.
The administration of our country and direction of foreign policy were irreversibly harmed.

People’s lives were destroyed (Flynn, Page).

Worse than anything McCarthy did. Worse (by far) than any “Russian interference” was interference by our own law enforcement and intelligence apparatus.

Yet, no one gives a damn.

Clinesmith was officially working for Mueller, not McCabe or Comey when he forged that document to spy on Carter Page

There was a CYA footnote in the Mueller report that FBI employees remained under the control of the FBI...

Senator McCarthy has been fully vindicated by the Venona cables and 50 year senate record. Anyone who claims to be a conservative ought to know that,

The late M Stanton Evans’ excellent book, *Blacklisted by History* is mandatory.

I just cringe when I hear anyone on our team besmirch the good name of Tail Gunner Joe.

It is the Crossfire Hurricane people that should be fearful now. “No Basis” For FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation according to Barr. Bill Priestap lied to the Senate intel committee in 2018. But he knew all along the investigation should never have been stopped or continued.

He is next in line to be indicted.

Worse than what Nixon did.

Barack Hussein Obama the Just-Us Department, Joe Biden, and the Communist led FBI and CIA (both Comey and Brennan have said on record that they are ‘former’ Communists)...

NEED TO KNOW
<><> What information was criminally gained by Obama and Rice?
<><> Details of the scope and dimension of US intel given to assist Hillary?
<><> Detail the multiple ways Hillary’s campaign used criminal information against Trump.

The FBI requested a type of surveillance generally reserved for tracking suspected terrorists, including
<><>wiretaps,
<><> electronic surveillance,
<><> the use of bugs and tracking devices,
<><> physical surveillance,
<><> electronic surveillance
<><> satellite geo-location surveillance
<><> and much more.......

FR POSTED-——AAG Matthew Whitaker Discusses Upcoming IG Report on FISA Abuse and Trump Campaign Surveillance…
Following leaked revelations that former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain a Title-1 surveillance warrant against U.S. person Carter Page to conduct political espionage against the Trump campaign, former AAG Matthew Whitaker discusses the IG investigation and upcoming IG report.
Whitaker notes the bigger issues are how the FISA process generally has been abused and potentially long-term ramifications.

It is also worth remembering it wasn’t just “wiretaps” that were gained, the FBI requested and received full Title-1 surveillance authority including:
<><>wiretaps,
<><> electronic surveillance,
<><> the use of bugs and tracking devices,
<><> physical surveillance,
<><> electronic surveillance
<><> satellite geo-location surveillance
<><> and much more.

The FBI requested a type of surveillance for spying on Trump generally reserved for tracking suspected terrorists.

When Mr. Clinesmith manipulated evidence to attain the warrant, he was working under the guidance of FBI supervisory agent Peter Strzok. -—snip——rest on FR

Crossfire Hurricane was nothing but a weaponized triangulation of the alphabet agencies to take down a candidate and failing that his administration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

(derived from COunter INTELligence PROgram) (1956–1971) was a series of covert and illegal[1][2] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations.

...The FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception; however, covert operations under the official COINTELPRO label took place between 1956 and 1971.[12] COINTELPRO tactics are still used to this day and have been alleged to include discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; and illegal violence, including assassination.[13][14][15][16] The FBI’s stated motivation was “protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order”.[17]

...Illegal surveillance
The final report of the Church Committee concluded:

Too many people have been spied upon by too many Government agencies and too much information has been illegally collected. The Government has often undertaken the secret surveillance of citizens on the basis of their political beliefs, even when those beliefs posed no threat of violence or illegal acts on behalf of a hostile foreign power. The Government, operating primarily through secret and biased informants, but also using other intrusive techniques such as wiretaps, microphone “bugs”, surreptitious mail opening, and break-ins, has swept in vast amounts of information about the personal lives, views, and associations of American citizens. Investigations of groups deemed potentially dangerous—and even of groups suspected of associating with potentially dangerous organizations—have continued for decades, despite the fact that those groups did not engage in unlawful activity.

Groups and individuals have been assaulted, repressed, harassed and disrupted because of their political views, social beliefs and their lifestyles. Investigations have been based upon vague standards whose breadth made excessive collection inevitable. Unsavory, harmful and vicious tactics have been employed—including anonymous attempts to break up marriages, disrupt meetings, ostracize persons from their professions, and provoke target groups into rivalries that might result in deaths. Intelligence agencies have served the political and personal objectives of presidents and other high officials. While the agencies often committed excesses in response to pressure from high officials in the Executive branch and Congress, they also occasionally initiated improper activities and then concealed them from officials whom they had a duty to inform.

Governmental officials—including those whose principal duty is to enforce the law—have violated or ignored the law over long periods of time and have advocated and defended their right to break the law.

The Constitutional system of checks and balances has not adequately controlled intelligence activities. Until recently the Executive branch has neither delineated the scope of permissible activities nor established procedures for supervising intelligence agencies. Congress has failed to exercise sufficient oversight, seldom questioning the use to which its appropriations were being put. Most domestic intelligence issues have not reached the courts, and in those cases when they have reached the courts, the judiciary has been reluctant to grapple with them.[92][93]

Please realize that Trump was not the only political rival being spied on illegally in this manner. Even Democrat politicians. Many many many.......

How can the author leave out Andrew Weissmann?

The same Weissmann that supposedly just started attending Team Get Trump meetings on his own, without Invitation or assignment.

Mueller’s team also saw, despite a standing order protecting them as evidence, to destroying Strzok and Page’s phones.

...COunter INTELligence PROgram) (1956–1971) was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted
by the FBI aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations......

Keep in mind-—--Trump tapped Flynn to replace Susan Rice. All of the Obama cabal’s dirty deeds were soon to be uncovered.

<><> They had to figure out a way to explain (A) why they spied on Trump and (B) spread false rumors to damage him and his associates.

<><> So they cunningly exploited the US “counter-intelligence” apparat which is intended for use to protect Americans from foreign influence.

The connivers knew it is considered an official govt practice to spread disinformation as long as it was designated a Counter/Intel operation.

So if a Grand Jury stared asking questions, they could say, "Oh that, that was a C/I operation."

==========================================

HERE'S HOW INTRINSICALLY EVIL THESE PEOPLE ARE:
at the time Rice emailed herself on Inauguration Day, the Obama admin
was exploiting the billion dollar intel apparat, meant to protect Americans, to actively spy on Trump
and the Trump team as part of its phony "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation to "get Trump."

RICE: “From a national security perspective, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team,
we go by the book, that we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”

HUGE RED FLAG: these are the justifications for (A) withholding info from Lynch .......
(B) "by the book" means something entirely different to these treasonous connivers.

================================

A new disturbing picture is emerging about an Obama kept hidden from the electorate.
When he did deign to appear in public, he put on an Academy-worthy act......a first class phony
who hardly resembles the self-serving, power-driven, America-hating greedster that is emerging.

He won’t do it, but what do you think would happen if he rolled on Mueller (as well as the rest of that crowd)?

FBI Notes About Joe Biden Contradict Susan Rice ‘By the Book’ Claim on Russia Hoax
Breitbart ^ | July 03 2020 | JOSHUA KLEIN
FR Posted on 7/4/2020, 4:03:58 AM by knighthawk

Obama’s former National Security Advisor Susan Rice’s depiction of an early 2017 Oval Office meeting of top political and law-enforcement officials as being conducted “by the book,” is being challenged by newly released notes written by former FBI agent Peter Strzok, which directly implicate Joe Biden — the current Democratic presidential nominee — in a scheme to undermine President Trump and his administration.

The newly released notes may have far-reaching consequences for the upcoming 2020 elections and Biden, as the current Democratic presidential nominee, specifically. The bombshell revelations will, no doubt, be a major focus in the ongoing investigation, led by US Attorney John Durham, into the origins of the Russia investigation.

On January 5, 2017, a meeting took place at the White House’s Oval Office with then-President Barack Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice all in attendance.
