Four Issues Highlight How Lindsey Graham’s Senate Hearings Are a Deep State Cover Operation…
Conservative Treehouse ^ | June 3, 2020 | sundance

Posted on 06/03/2020 1:31:51 PM PDT by ransomnote

The testimony of former Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein is now complete and we are able to make an honest assessment into the motives and intents of the Senate Judiciary Committee; and specifically Chairman Lindsey Graham.

Without a doubt, it is now clear Senator Lindsey Graham is executing the familiar chaff and countermeasure approach to cover-up the former administration surveillance abuses.

Here are four specific reasons that clarity is assured.  Ranked in order of brutality:

♦ Number Four:

While there was some cursory inquiry into the reasoning of Rod Rosenstein to authorize the direct targeting of Trump campaign officials, not a single Senator inquired about the specifics behind how the August 2, 2017, scope memo was created:

Who specifically identified the targets; what justification was provided by the special counsel to target the officials; why were those specific persons were selected; and under what predicate was Rosenstein authorized to expand the Mueller investigation?

The Senators on the Judiciary Committee, with full knowledge and forethought; and with specific access to the document in question; and with malicious intent to deny justice on behalf of those targeted; totally failed to make appropriate inquiry.

♦ Number Three:

To make matters worse… The Senate Judicary Committee members specifically stated they were aware of the content of the Mueller Report.  As a witness, DAG Rosenstein brought a copy of the Mueller report with him to the hearing; and yet not a single member of the committee highlighted the hidden/secret October 20, 2017, scope memo.

There was ZERO inquiry from the Senate Judiciary Committee into a known issue that was/is relevant to the ongoing prosecution of General Michael Flynn; and the underlying evidence, first uncovered within the report; highlighting how Rod Rosenstein authorized a hidden memorandum to target Michael Flynn Jr. as leverage to force a guilty plea from the original target of Rosenstein authorized.   This was completely ignored:

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s lack of inquiry was either because they held no awareness of the hidden scope memo; or, more likely, because they needed to pretend they held no awareness of the hidden October 2nd scope memo to avoid exposing it.

♦ Number Two:

Despite the former Deputy AG stating twice that he was troubled by the leaking of the highly classified FISA application to the media, the committee intentionally and purposefully avoided asking the obvious question:

If DAG Rod Rosenstein was so concerned about the leak of the Carter Page FISA, then why did the DOJ under Rosenstein’s tenure purposefully refuse to indict SSCI Security Director James Wolfe for leaking the FISA application?

During his testimony Deputy AG Rosenstein testified this specific leak was alarming to him because it identified the innocent target of the investigation, Carter Page.  However, Rosenstein was alarmed enough to prosecute Wolfe for the leak.  Why Not?

The Senate Judiciary Committee never went near that highly explosive issue.

However, if the purpose and intent of Senator Graham were not crystal clear by those three prior issues that were left undiscussed, the number one proof of his intention is stunning in it’s brutality.

♦ Number One:

The Senate Judiciary Committee was recently made aware of a letter from the DOJ to the FISA Court written in July of 2018.  The letter was/is a specific example of fraud upon the court during the tenure of Rod Rosenstein.  It is inexcusable that Rod Rosenstein was not asked about the July 12, 2018, material lie to the court.

Please notice this DOJ cover letter (making the committee aware) was personally sent to Chairman Lindsey Graham by the DOJ as ORDERED by the FISA Court.

The content of the communication was a 2018 letter from the DOJ to the FISA Court. The letter below was sent by the DOJ National Security Division on July 12, 2018.

The purpose of the hearing today was specifically about the FISA abuses, yet the committee did not ask a single question about this letter.  Here it is:

This is an incredibly misleading letter to the FISA court because what the letter doesn’t say is that 18-months earlier the sub-source, also known in the IG report as the “primary sub-source”, informed the FBI that the material attributed to him in the dossier was essentially junk.

By July 2018 the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications, yet they withheld that information from the court and said the predicate was still valid. Why?

How is it even remotely possible for Senator Lindsey Graham to conduct an inquiry into Crossfire Hurricane and FISA abuses, and yet completely avoid asking Rod Rosenstein about the content of a letter that was specifically created during his tenure; and goes directly to the heart of his personal involvement.

The content itself is a complete fabrication of information and it was written by Rosenstein’s DOJ a full fifteen months after the DOJ was fully aware the predicate for the FISA application was fraudulent.

This 2018 justification letter was so alarming the FISA Court itself demanded the DOJ send a copy of it to the Senate Judiciary Committee to use in oversight.  However, Chairman Graham didn’t ask Rod Rosenstein a single question about it.

There is no way to look at the absence of inquiry without accepting the motive and intent of the committee is to bury information; thereby protecting DC entities.

The hearing was intentionally scheduled to give the appearance of Senator Graham taking action; he isn’t.  It’s the all-too-familiar…

.….Chaff and countermeasures!

Anyone expected anything less from a deep state acolyte himself, Lindsey Graham?

Within the federal government, CYA has long long been a meme.

Here’s the email I just sent Graham:

Dear Senator Graham:

Over the years, I had many enjoyable visits to the Charleston, James Island/Folly Island area of South Carolina. That’s where the 55th Massachusetts Infantry spent most of their service during the Civil War. I spent many years researching the 55th Massachusetts, and met many nice people along the way. Friends of mine were responsible for organizing The South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust to preserve Confederate fortifications on the islands, and the ground that the 54th and 55th Massachusetts fought and died on.

I’m specifically writing about the hearing you held today with Rod Rosenstein. Now I’m a 72 year old woman, and I might have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night. You have been promising hearings on just about everything in the Encyclopedia, for a very long time, and now that you’ve decided to start them, you throw soft balls at Rosenstein? Come on Senator!! Mr. Rosenweasel, er, excuse me Mr. Rosenstein previously testified that he didn’t read the FISA warrant he signed, and when he was asked back then why he hadn’t read it, his reply was: “I don’t read every document I sign.” Really? Well then gee Rod, can you sign this here mortgage loan application, er, I mean can you sign this court document that there’s a rush on? Thanks, I’ll wait.” Senator, what is the first thing a lawyer tells a client? “Don’t sign anything without reading it, or the fine print first.”

I’m sorry you didn’t think it important, that as the head of the committee, to question Rosenstein more forcefully. You sounded like a member of the media drooling over Obama. I may not be from your State, but for 25 years, I was an Officer, and Sergeant in the New York State Department of Correctional Services, who raised two sons alone, and got my Masters degree while working full time, and I know BS when I see it. I attended the House Managers Dinner with friends after Clinton’s impeachment, shook your hand, and took your picture, and the Lindsey Graham from that time, is not the Lindsey Graham of today. What has happened to you? If you’re only going to toss softballs to all the other individuals involved who tried to destroy this government, and who are still trying to destroy it, then you might as well pack your bags, and social-distance yourself again. Save us taxpayers some money Look, I’m stuck with Cuomo, Gillibrand, and Schumer, even though I live in a consistently RED county, and I’d like to think that at least some of the other Republican leaders in RED States will be serious about getting to the bottom of what was perpetrated to interfere in a National election, and take down a sitting President. Hopefully, John Durham will find the evidence he needs to prosecute all the perpetrators, not just a handful, but come on Senator, you don’t have to make it easy on those same perpetrators who helped bring this all about.

Thank you for your time.

"Time to bombard little Rubio CONGRESSIONAL LINES!!!"

I tried calling Graham's office today, and they're still closed because of the virus. Yeah right. But the same thing is going on with Cuomo, Schumer, and Gillibrand's offices. Nobody's answering, and not taking voice messages. I wrote a lengthy email to Graham a short while ago, and posted it earlier on this thread.

No need to give up hope. This is white washing for the benefit of the public. But Durham and others determine whether or not prosecutions occur, and all signs point to green. :)

So sorry you did not understand that Graham is the RINO POS that keeps on giving. That has been his mode of operation even before he hooked up with the deceased criminal McCain.

FoxNews must be in on the coverup as well. I watched the hearing on FoxNews until it came Sen. Josh Hawley’s turn to question Rosenstein and then Fox cut away for a commercial and then more of The Daily Briefing. Earlier in the hearing they also cut away when it was a Republican’s go at Rod, yet while I watched it they never did this to a Democrat.
