Wait, USAID Was Involved in Donald Trump's Impeachment?

USAID will effectively shut down on Friday. Most of the staff will be furloughed as it's absorbed into the State Department. Under the president's direction, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency unearthed a web of corruption, waste, and fraud that wasn’t necessarily shocking but jarring, nonetheless. Democrats are livid that this agency is being gutted, and we may know why. They seem to have subsidized and played a significant role in the 2019 impeachment of Donald Trump.

The agency appears to have been pulling the strings of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), which was cited multiple times by the CIA whistleblower that sparked the quid pro quo circus surrounding Trump, Ukraine, and military aid.

Just ONE department. Literally the tip of the iceberg.

Just ONE department. Literally the tip of the iceberg.

Was Joni Ernst the only Republican looking into this criminal enterprise? Where were the others?

[EBH]

I agree.

Shutting down an agency is no small task, shutting it down for corruption is YUGE. Trump hasn’t won until the public witnesses people in handcuffs and charges being brought.

Pam Bondi...I believe the ball is Tee’d up for you.

[EBH]

We don’t have them quite yet. I have not heard RICO charges being brought.

Lt. Col. Alexander Semyon Vindman and Eric Ciaramella positively REEK of the intel community. Who missed that?

Big Picture Context for USAID Revelations – Are We Being Managed?

February 5, 2025 | Sundance 

The fact that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was a sub-silo for the CIA is not a new revelation.  In fact, this website and several others have been deep in the research of the networking for years.

From the Arab Spring to Libya, to the color revolution in Ukraine, to the attempted overthrow of Viktor Orban in Hungary, to overturning the outcome of the Romanian election (remember it was a global intelligence determination), to the efforts to support Emmanuel Macron, to influence and IC control over Moldova, and onto the efforts of USAID and Samantha Power in Tbilisi, Georgia, the footprint of USAID in connection to the CIA was always transparent.

The fact that USAID was similarly involved in domestic influence operations, is now coming forth with receipts showing how USAID paid domestic political groups for activism, paid for media influence operations and generally did the same thing inside the United States that the CIA/USAID were doing outside the USA.

The DC apoplexy is related to these USAID/CIA revelations, the financial benefits many were receiving, and the publicity therein.

Factually, the passage of the Patriot Act in October of 2001 created the legal authority for CIA operations to engage in domestic politics under the auspices of national security.  That’s the entire role of the ODNI to act as the pivot point permitting the CIA to collaborate with the newly formed Dept of Homeland Security (DHS).

From this now legally justified origin the tentacles of CIA and DHS then enmeshed with the FBI culminating in the example of former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok discussing the CIA as their “sister agency” and receiving a CIA coin as a token of appreciation for the collaborative efforts.  In sum, the CIA and FBI work in partnership with the DNI and DHS.

It’s all one big Intelligence Community network, and USAID was just a system of influence used both in foreign and domestic affairs.  That’s the generally big picture behind all of these USAID revelations.  None of this is really arguable any longer, and with each new detail the information only affirms the nature of the IC system we have been discussing for several years.

Domestically, the involvement of the CIA in the impeachment effort of President Donald Trump was always visible.  Intel Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson changed the CIA whistleblower rules permitting a legal path for the CIA (Eric Ciaramella) to leak information about President Trump’s call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  Former USDAG Mary McCord was the former boss of Atkinson and receiver of the information from NSC Vindman and CIA Ciaramella, within her new position as lead staff for Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on the impeachment committee.

None of this is in question. We have always discussed it openly as we researched the network and outlined the data providing the receipts.  The newer aspects are how the USAID silo was used to influence the media on the CIA’s impeachment operation.  The bottom line doesn’t change; the impeachment of President Trump was a CIA operation. However, we here -and other intellectually honest research groups- always knew this.

So, the USAID revelations are highlighting the relationship with the CIA; and the USAID revelations also reveal how the CIA was effectively working on domestic political influence operations. But the USAID revelations are not really revelations per se’, what they really represent are undeniable receipts for what we already knew.  It’s good to have these affirmations, but the background of it all remains the same as it was before the receipts were generated.

Amid this frenzy of information coming forth about USAID, I recently said this in the public square (Twitter):

I would advise everyone to pause for a moment as the fevered pitch of a new awakening takes shape specifically around the USAID information.

Ask ourselves: are we being managed?

Pause. Think about the Twitter files as a reference for how DHS was controlling online speech and communication.

Did the Twitter files reveal the DHS control mechanisms, or was the DHS control system coming to light and the revelations needed to be managed?

Was the Twitter File release a control mechanism, to get out in front of something the American people were discovering on their own?

That’s the reference here.

Were we managed by a controlled system releasing the Twitter file information?

If you understand that reference, then ask yourself….

…Is this USAID information; which at its core outlines how the intelligence community was in control of multiple DHS silos to influence American society; yet another operation to control information that was coming to light?

Don’t be emotional about it. Think logically.

Are we discovering the USAID information because elements in the IC understood the USAID information was starting to surface in the national conversation organically?

If you can see the similar approach to both the DHS control of the social media coming to light (Twitter files) and the same DHS control of the USAID tentacles, then is it accidental that Elon Musk is involved in both information releases?

BIG PICTURE: Is the IC managing the revelations?

All roads lead to Langley.

Is the journey being managed?

Think about it.

The DHS [ultimately IC] control over social media was coming to light as an outcome of the COVID fiasco. Lawsuits in defense of speech were revealing how DHS was influencing and controlling information.  Then came a controlled release within the Twitter Files.

The DHS [ultimately IC] control over elections was coming to light as an outcome of the 2020 vs 2024 vote scale that could no longer reasonably be concealed. Thanks to Trump.

Both system engagements, think of them as essentially datasets, were coming to light as the American people used every questioning mechanism that was available, including courts.

Essentially, We The People were in an unwitting (to most) fight with the IC [CIA], and the IC started losing control of the battlefield.

Opening the door to their USAID/CIA library of prior conduct and then standing back and letting the information flow out of the dark room, can be looked at as yet another controlled release operation for information that was already being discussed and only gaining traction amid the greater awakening.

Is it just a coincidence that both controlled information releases originate from the same source, Elon Musk?

This doesn’t mean that President Trump is some collaborative actor in the enterprise; in fact, I would argue the exact opposite.

• Donald Trump is organic.
• Organic systems need to be managed and controlled. 
• The assassination effort failed.

Immediately thereafter, Musk appeared with support…

Both USAID And The CIA Were Behind The Impeachment Of Trump in 2019

A US government-controlled group did the research that linked Rudy Giuliani to former Ukrainian prosecutors

The House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump on December 18, 2019, after a White House whistleblower went public with evidence that Trump abused his powers by withholding military aid to Ukraine in order to dig up dirt on his rival, Joe Biden. In the complaint, the whistleblower claimed to have heard from White House staff that Trump had, on a phone call, directed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, to investigate Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. The whistleblower who triggered the impeachment was a CIA analyst who was first brought into the White House by the Obama administration.

Reporting by Drop Site News last year revealed that the CIA analyst relied on reporting by a supposedly independent investigative news organization called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), which appears to have effectively operated as an arm of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which President Trump has just shut down. The CIA whistleblower complaint cited a long report by OCCRP four times.

The OCCRP report alleged that two Soviet-born Florida businessmen were “key hidden actors behind a plan” by Trump to investigate the Bidens. According to the story, those two businessmen connected Giuliani to two former Ukrainian prosecutors. The OCCRP story was crucial to the House Democrats’ impeachment claim, which is that Trump dispatched Giuliani as part of a coordinated effort to pressure a foreign country to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, which is why the whistleblower cited it four times.

In a 2024 documentary that German television broadcaster NDR made about OCCRP’s dependence on the US government, a USAID official confirmed that USAID approves OCCRP’s “annual work plan” and approves new hires of “key personnel.” NDR initiated and carried out the investigation with French investigative news organization Mediapart, Italian new group Il Fatto Quotidiano, Reporters United in Greece, and Drop Site News in the United States.

However, according to a Mediapart story published the same day as the Drop Site News article, NDR censored the broadcast “after US journalist Drew Sullivan, the co-founder and head of the OCCRP, placed pressure on the NDR management and made false accusations against the broadcaster’s journalists involved in the project.”

On December 16, Drop Site’s Ryan Grim posted a link on X to the 26-minute-long documentary. “NDR, Germany’s public broadcaster, is facing a censorship scandal and has defended itself by saying it never killed a news report about OCCRP and its State Department funding — b/c no report was ever produced to kill,” said Grim. “That was absurd — and dozens, maybe hundreds, of journalists knew it to be false, and now of course, someone has leaked it.”

The journalistic collaboration revealed that OCCRP’s original funding came from the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the State Department, and quotes a USAID official who says, “Drew’s just nervous about being linked with law enforcement,” referring to Sullivan. “If people who are going to give you information think you’re just a cop, maybe it’s a problem.”

OCCRP does not operate like a normal investigative journalism organization in that its goals appear to include interfering in foreign political matters, including elections, aimed at regime change. Sullivan told NDR that his organization had “probably been responsible for five or six countries changing over from one government to another government… and getting prime ministers indicted or thrown out.”

As such, it appears that CIA, USAID, and OCCRP were all involved in the impeachment of President Trump in ways similar to the regime change operations that all three organizations engage in abroad. The difference is that it is highly illegal and even treasonous for CIA, USAID, and its contractors and intermediaries, known as “cut-outs,” to interfere in US politics this way.

There are special databases called graph databases that can quickly and effectively map any kinds of relationships between any data type with edges and nodes. Coupled with trained AI all sorts of relationships pop out that mere human investigators cannot see. Once the guilty players are connected via work and reporting relationships, emails, bank transactions, geo locations, etc. DOGE and law enforcement just has to go gather the physical evidence and further data to dig deeper until they have what they need. This is why the Democrats Party is freaking out about DOGE’s access to the big sets of government data.

“There are special databases called graph databases that can quickly and effectively map any kinds of relationships between any data type with edges and nodes.”

We use this in my company to build relationship diagrams using the OSI model as input. It’s part of maturity assessments and compliance best practices. We can take a single piece of data and map it to every relationship.

Cool stuff and you are right. The Democrats are freaking out over this. If I can do this for a small company, imagine what someone with Musk’s brain power and resources can do.
