I think the Cates worth reading, makes some interesting points.

Indirectly, this thread makes a point that will appear in my next column:
The swamp creatures have been furiously scrubbing all this stuff that **used to be out there** because hey, before now, they never really had any reason to hide it.
Dr.Quigley@CarrollQuigley1
This whole Ukraine whistleblower scam is an obvious hoax. The Nevertrumper Neocons peddling hearsay & rumors to smear Trump. They did this w/ Fusion GPS & McCain in 2016. Now another Soros funded campaign w/ more McCain clowns laundering disinfo.
It’s an alleyoop for the Dems.
There was no reason to hide it before, all the corruption networking that was going on, because, hey, who was in a position to do anything about it, right?
That’s why most of this crap was sitting out there in PLAIN SIGHT.
Well here’s a MAJOR REASON why in the last 5 months you’ve seen impeachment theater take off and remain white noise nonstop.
The Swamp ***knows somebody is digging into all this stuff*** so they’re suddenly trying to hide it.
These people have what in the intel world are known as ‘tripwires’. Signs someone’s following the money, tracing the deals that are being made, asking all the right questions [or the wrong questions, depending on your perspective].
For years, NONE OF THESE PEOPLE’S TRIPWIRES EVER WENT OFF.
Oh sure, they had some media stories come out, but nothing that couldn’t be managed with a trite denial & everybody quickly moving on.
Like the NYT’s expose of the Clinton U1 bribes back in 2015.
The Clintons, the Bidens, the Obamas, the Feinsteins, the Kerrys, the Peolosis, these are the people that are at the very TOP of this corruption network.
Beneath them are the rank & file that make it all work, mostly out of the public eye.
You don’t start rolling this up at the TOP. You start with the rank and file. And the rank & file folks at these various ‘non profit’ orgs & networking outfits, something SCARED THE BEJESUS out of them a few months back, right around the time Mueller ended his investigation.
All of a sudden you see people furiously trying to scrub their connections to one another.
Some tripwires went off.
All that graft & bribery & pay for play that was going on in plain sight, they’re NOW trying to hide it, pull it under a curtain.
I was saying 2 years ago: the scope of this thing is so massive it will boggle your mind when it all comes out.
It was the sheer scope of it that gave them the confidence nobody could ever stop it, much less expose it and prosecute it.
The Horowitz IG report only deals with ONE SPECIFIC PART of this stuff.
HOW federal officials knowingly took fake Trump/Russia info from Clinton’s paid political lackeys & used it to start investigations of the Trump campaign.
With Hillary’s victory being a foregone conclusion, WHY where so many powerful people in the Obama fed. gov’t determined to leave NOTHING to chance to ensure The Witch won that election?
Because they couldn’t even leave a 8% or 5% chance.
They had to be CERTAIN.
WHY did they have to be certain?
Why couldn’t they leave well enough alone?
Because the scope of the corruption their political masters were engaging was so MASSIVE they couldn’t take the chance of a ‘Trump Miracle’.
Session, Barr & Horowitz & US Attorneys leading the grand juries didn’t just stop with the nuts-and-bolts of HOW the FISC abuse happened to help launch the RussiaGate hoax.
They had to keep digging & find out WHY Comey & McCabe & others went to these illegal lengths.
And the massive scope of what they found when they started digging into the “WHY” is why it’s taken almost 3 years to get to this point.
Tracing the $$$ trails, mapping out the networks, building the cases against some the most powerful & influential people - not just in the US.
When Horowitz flips the light on & pulls the curtain back to SHOW the entire country how the fake Trump/Russia Hoax was started by corrupt officials take what they knew was fake propaganda coming from Hillary’s lackeys at Fusion GPS, that’s merely the START of this.
WHY in the world would these top LEO & Intel people engage in these crimes? people are going to ask.
And Durham & Huber & others who’s names we don’t know yet, these are the US Attorneys who will take it from there.
As I said in a thread yesterday, all the massive corruption by the Clintons, the Bidens, the Feinsteins, the Bushes, the McCains, the Pelosis, the Reids, the Romneys...it was sitting out there in the open.
All the ‘right’ people knew how to handle it when any of it became an issue. Especially the people in the DNC Media Complex.
Briefly cover it, talk about the ‘troubling questions’ that this corruption raises...then drop it and everybody moves on..
“We covered that.”
I call this “the wink and nod game”. Everybody pauses for a second when some really bad corruption gets spotlighted, then all the right people ‘wink and nod’ at each other and it gets ‘handled’ the ‘right way’.
Some brief stories are done, then it’s buried out of sight.
This is what they’re gonna say when the lid gets ripped of the Clinton Foundation’s massive hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes in the U1 & other pay for play deals.
“We covered that. We did a story on this back in 2015. This is not new, you wingnuts.”
Same thing with the Biden/Ukraine/China scandals.
“Oh hey here’s a story our outlet did about Hunter Biden and the **troubling questions** his sudden new job at Burisma raised! We did it back in 2015! Leave us alone!”
Oh sure you ‘covered’ it. You stood in front of the story for about 5 seconds and said “Wow this looks really bad.”
And then 10 seconds later you’d moved on, not doing any digging or investigating.
Meanwhile you remained parked on the Trump/Russia hoax for THREE YEARS.
So that was the MEDIA’S handling of this blatant, sitting-right-there-out-in-the-open corruption that skyrocketed during the Obama years.
What about the federal agencies that are supposed to stop/prosecute these kinds of crimes?
By the time Obama came into office, all of these agencies, the LEO agencies, the Intel agencies, the financial enforcement agencies, they’d ALL been firmly co-opted & the people running them **understood their role**.
You didn’t get a top job without pledging allegiance.
You pledged allegiance to your political masters & you fully understood that your role was **helping them get away with all the corruption they were engaging in when you got there**.
You had to agree to become a CRIMINAL YOURSELF.
And now I have to go do laundry.
Leaving this thread for now, will finish it later.
Interesting analysis on that thread.
I’m not convinced the scrubbing and panic started just five months ago though.
In the darkest reaches of Q research, scrubbing started as early as Nov/Dec 2017 - right after anons started digging. It might have started sooner than that, maybe during pizzagate.
First scrubbed, I’d say, were the really nasty low-level things like Epstein, Ray Chandler, Alefantis, and some others. Now that we’re getting higher in the cabal pyramid other more innocuous things disappear - financial records, company profiles, the money laundering tools of the ‘elite’.
I do agree that they never bothered to cover anything up because they knew they were all protected.
Might explain how a lot of the Podesta brothers’ garbage is still out there and available.
Meanwhile, when on digs, archive what you see and THEN post. That way it won’t get disappeared before it can be shared.
Thanks, Little J!
The Swamp ***knows somebody is digging into all this stuff*** so they’re suddenly trying to hide it.

That’s the movie. Enjoy!
