Former House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes appeared for an interview with Grant Stinchfield and walks through the timeline of the Russiagate hoax.
Within the interview, Devin Nunes makes a solid argument that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was due to their belief President Trump had the only copy of the HPSCI report, outside IC control; the outcome of a two-year investigation into how John Brennan and the CIA manipulated the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
It is important to remember that even though Representative Nunes knew the HPSCI investigators were looking at the construct of the ICA, no one -not even Devin Nunes- had ever seen the finished report as assembled in 2020. Despite efforts by Donald Trump to declassify the HPSCI report before leaving office, the CIA never released it. No one except the internal Intelligence Community (CIA/DNI) had seen the HPSCI report until Tulsi Gabbard released it on July 22nd. This is a key point, because the HPSCI report touches on all of the other declassified evidence recently released.
The authors of the HPSCI report had reviewed all of the same information John Durham reviewed. The HPSCI report walks through the entire construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment ordered by President Obama on December 6, 2016.
Arguably, because of the underlying evidence reviewed to produce it, the HPSCI report is the most critical of the declassified release in the last few months. The HPSCI report walks through the timeline as the ICA was created between early to late December 2016.
It was this manipulated ICA that underpinned the January 5, 2017 briefing with President Obama documented in the Susan Rice “by the book” memo. This manipulated ICA was then used to brief President-elect Trump the next day, January 6, 2017. The two-year HPSCI investigation and final report destroys the construct of the ICA as a propaganda tool of a weaponized intelligence product.
Knowing only the CIA, DNI and likely bad elements of the FBI had seen the HPSCI report, it makes sense this was what the FBI was seeking during the raid on Mar-a-Lago. The Intelligence Community during the Biden administration wanted to maintain the ICA ruse, and that required keeping the HPSCI report hidden.
The FBI knew Trump had declassified it, but they didn’t know if he held a physical copy of it when he left office in 2021
...
This predicate could also explain reports of the DOJ considering Florida as the venue for a grand jury. There is a possibility Main Justice is evaluating whether the Mar-a-Lago raid, in context with this declassified report and the FBI retrieval for it, may extend the venue options for criminal charge exploration into Florida as the place with the last act within a conspiracy.
It’s a little bit of a Lawfare-stretch to turn away from the 95% activity, that took place in DC, and use the 5% that took place in Florida to create a legal venue outside the DC defense walls. But, with the right legal arguments, it could be possible.
If you read the 46-page report, you understand why the FBI and CIA wanted to keep it hidden.
There are so many Democrat women and men who need their balls burnt in the electric chair.
And, yes, Democrat women have physical balls.
When the Mar-a Lago complex was raided, Trump was NOT in power, so any attempt at prosecution would have been scuttled immediately. In an apparently one-sided “gentlemen’s agreement”, the information was not used against the Obama-led cabal at the time Trump, through Devin Nunes, became aware of the implications.
These things have to be handled delicately while still in the nascent stage, but now this has burst full-blown on the national consciousness, and the genie is not going back in the bottle.
When you play for keeps, better be sure of the cards you actually hold. Never bet on what you THINK is in the other guy’s hand.
Require it as part of the career ladder for FBI agents. "I see you don't have The Tyranny Raid checked off on your job experience. I'd get on the team's schedule because you're not going to get promoted without it.
We need finger prints and DNA on that bag and the documents in them.
Used it before, when?
Trump never controlled the DOJ in his first term.
yup.
I can’t remember the date but Glenn Beck speculated about that a while ago. Maybe 1.5 weeks or so?
Trump never controlled the DOJ in his first term.
True. Can’t argue with that.
Reports were that the docs they were looking for pertained to Iran.
He didn’t have the power then that he has now.
“Investigators reportedly met back in June [2022] w Trump & his lawyers in Mar-a-Lago storage rm to survey docs & things seemed copasetic but then FBI raids weeks later. Speculation on Hill FBI had PERSONAL stake & searching for classified docs related to its #Spygate scandal.” – Paul Sperry said on X.----https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/sperry-1.jpg
Kash Patel, a top deputy for former House Intel Chairman Devin Nunes and Russiagate investigator, confirmed Paul Sperry’s reporting a week later:
A week later, Kash Patel, the former chief of staff to the Acting United States Secretary of Defense during President Trump’s first term (and now FBI Director nominee for Trump 2.0), joined Tucker Carlson to discuss the recent raid on Mar-a-Lago and the release of the highly redacted affidavit to raid the former president’s home.
During the discussion, Kash Patel told Tucker’s audience the real reason why the raid took place. It was to prevent the disclosure of unclassified Russiagate documents that implicated the FBI and DOJ in the garbage investigation of candidate and then President Trump.

People involved with the conspiracy to raid Maralago:
George Toscas
Paul Abbate,
Matthew Olsen,
Jay Bratt,
Steven D’Antuono
Olsen’s known for this :
But for Matthew Olsen, President Obama’s pick to lead the agency, the nomination is in jeopardy amid accusations that he misled a member of Congress when he was in charge of the administration’s Guantanamo task force to close the military detention camp in 2009.
Earlier this month, Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va.,who represents the district where the center is located, wrote to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, objecting to the nomination. Wolf said he believes Olsen, general counsel for the National Security Agency, under White House pressure downgraded the threat level of some potentially dangerous detainees to allow for their expeditious release to unstable countries like Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan as part of the administration’s failed effort to shut the facility.
Wolf also wrote that Olsen misled him about the status of detainee transfers to the U.S. during an April 2009 meeting. At that meeting, Olsen chose only to discuss the process and not the decisions that he had already made, Wolf contended.
Thanks, George76. I sure wish they had put HPSCI in parentheses in the first sentence.
The fact that they did this, and the Biden Administration authorized the use of deadly force in the raid, shows just how worried they were about the existence of this document, and about what kind of resistance they (fantasized) might meet.
This is treason. The people who ordered this need to be charged, tried, convicted, and punished according to the law.
The word “treason” needs to be used in talking about it. We shouldn’t be shy about that.
People involved with the conspiracy to raid Maralago:
Barak Obama
Hillary Clinton
James Comey
Christopher Wray
These are the folks with the most to lose.
Bratt’s known for this (and Judge Boasberg’s involved in this too) :
...Bratt indicated that Woodward’s application to be a D.C. Superior Court judge could be impacted if he could not get Nauta to testify against Trump....
***
In other words, if Woodward didnt get Maura to flip, Bratt’s pretty much saying “It’d be a shame to lose that shot at the Superior Court, wouldn’t it, Mr. Woodward?”
Bratt and three FBI agents came to Mar-a-Lago.
“Whatever you need, just let us know,” Trump told the agents prior to the search, the motion said.
After Trump handed over some documents Bratt had requested, the DOJ official asked for and was given permission to search a storage room.
It was then that one of the FBI agents made an odd statement, Conservative Brief reports.
“Thank you. You did not need to show us the storage room, but we appreciate it. Now it all makes sense,” the agent said.
Bratt later asked Trump to secure the storage room, which the former president did by adding additional locks and security measure
Two months later, on Aug. 8, FBI agents arrived at Mar-a-Lago to conduct their unannounced raid and proceeded to “search” for items they had already observed stored in the home.
Questions arise as to the strange comment and even stranger actions.

An FBI agent told the House Judiciary Committee that Deputy Director Paul Abbate suggested that at least 25 FBI confidential human sources, or informants, involved in reporting to the bureau from the Jan. 6, 2021, protest should not be publicly acknowledged.
.
Many FBI whistleblowers have come forward with their concerns about the bureau as Director Christopher B. Wray is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
