WASHINGTON — Former FBI director James Comey seized and buried volumes of information that demonstrated a wide-ranging government surveillance operation targeting Donald Trump before he became president.
Big League Politics has learned that Larry Klayman, attorney for former NSA and CIA contractor and whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, delivered to the FBI 47 hard drives and data amounting to more than 600 million pages of documentation on the surveillance scheme. Then-FBI director James Comey’s general counsel James Baker took the data into his possession, according to multiple sources. But despite possessing Montgomery’s bombshell whistleblower revelations, Comey never acted on or publicized the information.
Additionally, Comey’s former firm Lockheed Martin granted entry to Montgomery to one of its facilities to help him work on the alleged mass surveillance program, which was allegedly overseen by Obama administration officials John Brennan and James Clapper and specifically targeted Trump.
As Big League Politics recently reported: real estate mogul Timothy Blixseth claims that he saw records from Montgomery proving that Obama CIA director John Brennan oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape of an interview Blixseth gave –released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow as part of a civil case — is presented below.
In the audiotaped interview — conducted before Trump ever ran for president — Blixseth spoke to former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and detective Mike Zullo. The audio was released in connection with a civil contempt case that the Department of Justice filed against Arpaio. The audio of this conversation appears to only be preserved in one location on the Internet, on a whistleblower Soundcloud page.
“This guy showed me 900 million phone calls. And I see myself in there. I see people I know. I see Donald Trump in there a zillion times, and Bloomberg is in there,” Blixseth said on the tape, referring to information that Montgomery allegedly showed him.

“He’s a very genius computer guy,” Blixseth said of Montgomery. “What they did is, they were actually working for the CIA. And they mask it as — I’m sure you’ll remember this — the contracts with the CIA, of which I had many copies, said that they were decoding Al-Jazeera television, said that there was broadcast embedded, remember that? Owned by Gore? Al Gore’s got part of it now. But it was all bullshit. That was bullshit. That was a front by the CIA. And this guy [Montgomery] worked for Brennan and Clapper. Those were the two guys running it,” Timothy Blixseth told Arpaio and Zullo on the tape.
“He started out in 2004 with another partner in Reno, Nevada, called eTreppid. They collected about $40 million from the CIA. Top security clearance. All kinds of letters…In 2006 they started a new company that [my ex-wife] owns, and they started doing the same business for the government. What it really turns out they were doing is they were hacking into all of America.”
Big League Politics called the listed number for eTreppid Technologies, but we were told that Montgomery no longer works there. “That company closed down years ago, sir,” a representative said of eTreppid Technologies. When asked what the company is called now, the representative said, “I’m sorry, I can’t discuss any more with you.”
Blixseth claimed in his conversation with Zullo and Arpaio that Brennan and Clapper were running the operation.
“Everything they said they didn’t do, that Brennan said recently, mainly Clapper. It’s all bullshit. And I’ve got it right here,” Blixseth said.
Now the story gets better.
Dennis Montgomery told Zullo in a separate interview — also preserved and released on audiotape — that he gained entry to a Lockheed Martin facility in Los Angeles to work on the surveillance program on a super computer contained at the facility. James Comey served as an executive at Lockheed Martin from 2005 until 2010. An insider close to the story estimates that Montgomery gained access to the facility in 2009, at the beginning of the Obama administration, but that date is only a close estimate. Lockheed Martin did not immediately return a request for comment for this report.
Montgomery told Zullo on the tape that he accepted nearly eight thousand dollars from someone, with no receipt, and went to Los Angeles to use the facility.
“Lockheed,” Montgomery said, referring to the company that operated the facility he used.
Why did he have to use that Lockheed facility? Because it had a super-computer that made it easier for him to open a disk related to the surveillance program.
“Well, the thing is, I could get on something that was a thousand times faster,” Montgomery said of the facility’s computer.

Klayman has called on House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes to hear testimony from Montgomery.
The FBI did not immediately return a request for comment for this report.
As I reported last year, “When President Obama nominated Comey to become FBI director in 2013, Comey promised the United States Senate that he would recuse himself on all cases involving former employers. But Comey earned $6 million in one year alone from Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin became a Clinton Foundation donor that very year.”
Below is a screenshot of an email that Zullo sent to Montgomery, who uses the pseudonym “David Webb,” informing him that his “immunity deal is done.”
I missed nothing, having initially understood you perfectly well.
They were "associated with" having been vacuumed up by some federal agency snooping on everyone.
I thought the claim was there were X-number (900 million) records of phone calls on the 47 hard drives.
Still trying to put words to that effect (that somebody read them all) into whoever's mouth? It was not asserted by anyone that they had read all the emails, or simply the logs of who called who, (or had counted them by hand, etc).
There are database management/search tools sold over-the-counter that could find the names of politicians among the 900 million haystack.
Although there could be reasons to suspect this whistle-blower story, the ones you have raised are made of nothingburger (with cheese?).
This guy showed me 900 million phone calls. And I see myself in there. I see people I know. I see Donald Trump in there a zillion times, and Bloomberg is in there,” Blixseth said on the tape, referring to information that Montgomery allegedly showed him.
So, as you can see, he claims he was shown 900 million phone calls, and that he reviewed those 900 million phone calls enough to see his own name, see other people he knew, see Trump a zillion times. And the article then calls this "information that Montgomery allegedly showed him".
It is possible that what he meant was he was given access to a database, and he could search for his name, and saw entries with his name, and he searched for Trump, and saw entries with Trumps name.
But that is a different thing than saying you were "shown 900 million phone calls".
And clearly the guy was exaggerating. Unless you are also trying to insist that he actually saw Trump's name "a zillion times", which isn't even really a number.
You are seeing things that are not there based upoj your own assumptions of what he was talking about, and intending to mean. For all we know, he could have been shown 47 hard drives, and told there were 900 million calls registered on those drives, and then shown partial listings derived from those hard drives that had been sorted by name.
He still did not claim that he had reviewed all the phone calls. I provided hints as to how data could possibly be searched. It's not known if something along those lies was used, or not.
Attack the man's credibility using something other than your own assumptions that go; if they said "this" then it means "this other". You've been arguing from basis of your own if this/then that assumptions. But keep talking, if you must. I'll just ignore it from here on.

You are welcome to read something else into the clear quotes from the tape. As I said, maybe he did not mean “This guy showed me 900 million phone calls”. Maybe he didn’t mean “I see”, maybe he was just being funny when he said “I see Donald Trump in there a zillion times”
But for now, I’m going to take him more literally then you are, and assume that this story really needs some credible evidence to be believable.
I think the reason behind the Russian investigation is to protect the clinton’s involvement whenever they were in office. During the clinton administration China received missile technology information. While Sec of State, hillary sold American uranium to Russia. Nothing has been done to either, yet the FBI, CIA and media are investigating the heck out of Russian’s involvement in the 2016 campaign, involving President Trump.
Please remove me from the MAGA list.
Any good guys/gals...
Therein lies the rub: There do not seem to be any patriots with courage left in the IC.

“Therein lies the rub: There do not seem to be any patriots with courage left in the IC.”
I posted my reply on 5/12, 3 months ago, and no good guys or gals in the FBI have shown up, that we know about.
This is a sad note on the lack integrity in the FBI
Things may be different now with a new FBI director ...
Lets hope so.
When organizations are rotten from the very top, that rot often goes down to every level.
When that happens, often those organizations can not be saved.
