morsal he throws you out there in dumpster land.....

A new name in the greatest criminal conspiracy in the history of American politics, namely the conspiracy by liberal Democrats to frame and destroy President Trump with the 35-page lie we now know as the Trump dossier, is now being mentioned, but investigators want to keep his name as hush-hush as possible, obviously for his own protection and to maintain as much secrecy as possible in the investigation of the Obamagate scandal.
Bill Preistap is the Director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division and Peter Strzok’s boss. Multiple sources are now corroborating that Preistap has flipped and is fully cooperating with investigators in the Obamagate scandal.
Preistap was certainly a central figure in the acquisition of the Trump dossier, using it to obtain a FISA warrant to wiretap the Trump campaign even though the document and its source (Sidney Blumenthal) had no credibility whatsoever. Clearly, Preistap knows every detail of the conspiracy to frame President Trump.
Comey threw Preistap under the bus in his testimony before Congress. When asked why he didn’t notify Congress of the surveillance of candidate Trump as required by law, Comey said that he kept the Trump investigation secret because Priestap advised him to.
No wonder Preistap flipped!
1. Get to know this name: Bill Priestap
2. Bill Priestap is the FBI Director of Counterintelligence.
3. Bill Priestap was the immediate supervisor of FBI Counterintelligence Deputy Peter Strzok . Priestap is #1, Strzok was #2.
4. The investigation into candidate Donald Trump was a counterintelligence operation. That operation began in July 2016. Bill Priestap would have been in charge of that, along with all other, FBI counterintelligence operations.
5. FBI Deputy Peter Strzok was specifically in charge of the Trump counterintel op. However, Strzok would be reporting to Bill Priestap on every detail and couldn’t (according to structure anyway) make a move without Priestap approval.
6. On March 20th 2017 congressional testimony, James Comey was asked why the FBI Director did not inform congressional oversight about the counterintelligence operation that began July 2016.
7. Director Comey said he did not tell congressional oversight he was investigating presidential candidate Donald Trump because the Director of Counterintelligence suggested he not do so. *Very important detail.*
8. I cannot emphasize this enough. *VERY* important detail. Again, notice how Comey doesn’t use Priestap’s actual name, but refers to his position and title. Again, watch [Prompted]
9. FBI Director James Comey was caught entirely off guard by that first three minutes of questioning. He simply didn’t anticipate it.
10. Oversight protocol requires the FBI Director to tell the congressional intelligence “Gang of Eight” of any counterintelligence operations. The Go8 has oversight into these ops at the highest level of classification. At the time this was the group:
11. Based on what we know, and what has surfaced recently, we can all see why the FBI would want to keep it hidden that they were running a counterintelligence operation against a presidential candidate. As FBI Agent Peter Strzok said it was an “insurance policy”.
12: FBI Agent Strzok to FBI Attorney Page: “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office that there’s no way he gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”
12 (b). “Insurance Policy” text link
13. So James Comey is telling congress that the reason he didn’t inform the statutory oversight “Gang of Eight” was because Bill Priestap (Director of Counterintelligence) recommended he didn’t do it.
14. That’s called creating a “fall guy”. FBI Director James Comey is ducking responsibility in March 2017 by blaming FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap for not informing congress of the operation that began in July 2016. (9 months prior).
15. At that moment, that very specific moment during that hearing, anyone who knows how these things roll could see Comey was creating his own exit from getting ensnared in the consequences from the wiretapping and surveillance operation of President Donald Trump.
16. Bill Priestap is James Comey’s shield from liability.
17. There has been NO MENTION of Bill Priestap in any of the recent revelations, despite his centrality to all of it.
18. Bill Priestap would have needed to authorize Peter Strzok to engage with Christopher Steele over the “Russian Dosssier”.
19. Bill Priestap would have needed to approve of the underlying documents that were used for both FISA applications (June/July and Sept/Oct).
20. Bill Priestap would be the person to approve of paying, or reimbursing, Christopher Steele for the Russian Dossier used in their counterintelligence operation and subsequent FISA application.
21. Without Bill Priestap involved, approvals, etc. the entire Russian/Trump Counterintelligence operation doesn’t happen. Comey’s testimony is also evidence of Priestap’s importance.
22. In addition, when Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified (w/ James Clapper), she too spoke of the important of Priestap as her liaison and contact within the FBI on the counterintelligence operation. [Yates never mentioned Peter Strzok – not once.]
23. Even though it was FBI agent Peter Strzok who interviewed Michael Flynn on January 24th, [link below] Sally Yates never mentioned him. EVER. saraacarter.com/2017/12/04/fbi…
24. However Deputy AG Sally Yates did talk about Bill Priestap during her testimony.
25. Yates said she and Bill Priestap traveled together, Jan 26th, to the White House to inform Don McGhan (WH Counsel) of Michael Flynn “misleading statements” (based on Pence media reports and Flynn prior ambush interview Jan 24th).
26. According to Sally Yates testimony, she and Bill Priestap reportedly presented all the information to McGahn so the White House could take action that they deemed appropriate.
27. So you can see that Bill Priestap is a central figure. Comey defers to him; Yates relied on him; Strzok reports to him; etc.
28. Yet there’s no mention of Bill Priestap in any of the explosive investigative story-lines in the past two weeks. Why?
29. Bill Priestap is FBI Director of Counterintelligence. There’s no way he hasn’t been caught inside the investigative net.
30. Priestap’s boss, Andrew McCabe has been caught. His subordinate, Peter Strzok, has most certainly been caught. And previously FBI Director Comey pushed him in front of the bus.
31. Either Priestap is going to be the attempted fall-guy for the entire scheme.
-OR-
Bill Priestap saw the bus coming and is assisting the scheme investigators:
With all due respect.
Did you notice who was sitting right beside Rep. Stefanik when she ambushed Comey? I’ll betcha a dollar to a donut that Gowdy coached her along. They threw Comey a question he didn’t anticipate, choked and threw Priestap under the bus. If he hadn’t cooperated before Priestap probably speed dialed his lawyer to work out a deal before he got grilled under oath from Republicans smelling blood in the water.
Hahaha. Love it!
That's my take.
Thank you, Comey.
p.s. Why Comey thought it would work is a puzzlement to me. Since when does the boss take orders from a subordinate. Comey is toast either way.
“Word on the street is....”
It would be loads of fun if we could get blow-by-blow reports on swamp draining, but I suspect any real developments will not be known until many months later.
Having said that, it is fun to speculate.
But a lot of FReepers seem to expect more than fun speculation - they really believe that there are inside sources (like Q for example) who are giving them a blow-by-blow account.
Some FReepers actually believe that when something happens they will hear about it that week from the MSM. Then when nothing is reported, they are dissapointed and frustrated and call for various people to be fired.
I think this is a gross misconception.
Yes, we will eventually hear about things, but not until the end.
There are hundreds of reasons why investigations are kept under wraps and almost no reason to go public.
The only value in public announcements during an open investigation is to flush someone out. And in that case the “information” is planted for purposes of misdirection.
Like I said, it’s fun to speculate, and I live for the day that all these lefties get sent to jail.
I just hate to see people get their expectations up, then when there is nothing in the news, they are frustrated and assume people aren’t doing their jobs.
Maybe Trump is busy draining the swamp or maybe the swamp is too much for him. I hope it’s the former, but we in the public wouldn’t know one way or the other. Not yet.
Have you heard Col. Fletcher Prouty? Worked with President Eisenhower and the CIA. Prouty says that Eisenhower wanted to end tensions with the Soviet Union while Allen Dulles wanted to keep the cold war going. The CIA arranged to have the damaged US spy plane fly over Russia where it would crash giving the United States a black eye and creating an international incident that continued the tensions between the two nations. The CIA does not want peace. It wants war and all the money that comes from war.
We have been at war for a century beginning with World War I, then World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, the Iraq/Afghanistan War and now they are banging the war drums against Syria and Russia. Military Industrial Complex.
.
....”Old news”....
Yes, but it did fly under the wire for awhile I wondered why I didn’t see it on FR earlier....maybe too many freepers stuck in the Q trap rather than get the actual happenings they use to search for.
This was news awhile back....”BP is Deep-Throat x infinity…and cooperating...he is singing and has been for some time”....and you wouldn’t have found this in q.
This RICO enterprise and all their treason and corruption is so obvious, it shouldn’t need anyone to talk.
If Preistap is cooperating, and there is an honest prosecutor available to try the case, convictions and plea deals will be coming forth shortly.
A prosecutor could probably seize all the assets of all the major players and probably ever dollar the Clintons have once they are indicted.
.....”a lot of FReepers.... really believe that there are inside sources (like Q for example) who are giving them a blow-by-blow account”.......
Speculation is one thing....spinning ones wheels in the Q trench is another. That’s just spinning round and round while q laughs all the way to the bank.
“The OP here omitted the crucial reference and link. “
That’s grounds for a public admonishment.
Yes, Stewart only said we will be hearing Priestap’s name more, and that he didn’t want to make “headlines” about it right now. That is encouraging, but it’s not corroboration of anything in particular.
It was also pointed out by Sundance that Preslip is independently wealthy and probably doesn’t want to spend a couple of decades in jail. If he fully sings, given what he knows, he’s likely to see maybe 2 years - since he was still knee deep in this crap.
Let’s hope that’s the case and Sessions ‘surprises’ us.
“Why would he want to go to jail to protect Hussein Obama? And Hillary?”
For most people, the answer would be to stay alive, especially when Hillary’s involved. But Preslip has money and can probably take of his security. So flipping makes sense...when the alternative is spending decades in jail.
