House Republicans are again battling with the Justice Department over information related to the Russia investigation, this time over documents the intelligence community said involves a top-secret source who has provided information to the CIA and FBI.

The mysterious source has also gathered information that was given to Special Counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to The Washington Post.

WaPo reported Justice Department and intelligence community officials issued a stark warning to the White House on May 2 against a request from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. Nunes had submitted a subpoena to the Justice Department on April 24 for records related to the Russia probe.

Justice Department and intelligence community officials argued to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly that complying with the subpoena would reveal the identity of a top-secret source and would undermine protocol regarding intelligence sources, according to WaPo.

Tell me another one. That lie has bells on.

Amy Carter...Amy is the “secret source”.

[xzins]

Add the word “some”

LOL!

[xzins]

I understand that Schiff is getting a separate briefing from the same people.

So, the excuse that they weren’t cleared for such high level info is, as we though, bogus.

And with Schiff getting the info, we can be assured that if Mueller has branched off into something that we can be certain the NYT or WaPo will be helping him along in a few days.

President Trump isn’t dumb. I think there is much transporting behind the scene.

[Segovia]

well, obviously, the source is Valarie Plame/ sarc.

[Kalamata]

Who’s got the highest authority? They will decide.

FWIW, this is circulating. It seems Mueller may be taking aim at his detractors. Maybe trump should do the same.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Might be gossip. If it is true we should hear a lot more about it.

Or maybe Mueller wants to retaoliate for this

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, plans to request a financial audit of the special counsel investigating Russia's influence campaign over the 2016 presidential election. Meadows said in an interview set to air Sunday that he will ask for a review by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the nonpartisan government watchdog that handles investigations for Congress. Meadows wants a full audit of expenses incurred by Robert Mueller and his team, Meadows told C-SPAN as first reported by the Washington Examiner.

“NOTE: DC says that according to WaPo Kelly discussed the issue with Trump, who sided with the intelligence officials”.

wow, thanks for taking the Swamp’s side, Donald.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Don't know if the WaPo article is totally true. What they are claiming is inconsistent with what Trump tweeted about a week ago.

See post #91

Also another post said Sarah Carter said Trump did not agree with the DOJ about this point.

[Tucker39]

He’s my suspect. He’s so obviously not pursuing the known miscreants, and foolishly praising Rosenweasel, Mueller, et al as paragons of virtue. Makes me very suspicious.

The Insurance Policy, The “EC”, The 2016 FBI Counterintel Operation, and The Mysterious Informant Who Originated Brennan’s EC…

There are about two dozen check-references to identify who the ‘source’ was in providing the underlying intelligence to CIA Director John Brennan; who then wrote the “EC” for the FBI; which started the 2016 Counterintelligence Operation.

Stefan Halper checks off every single box: √Currently overseas. √Current/Former CIA operative. √Current/Former source for FBI. √Anti-Trump motive. √Formerly put together this exact type of operation. √Connections to UK spies/intel community/politicians. √Connection to Australian spies/intel community. √Connection to Alexander Downer. √Political operative. √Wanted Clinton to win 2016 election. √Connects to Carter Page. √Connects to George Papadopoulos. √Connects to John Brennan. ETC.

Two months ago Chuck Ross of The Daily Caller took a deep dive on how Stefan Halper interacted with George Papadopoulos and Carter Page. Halper was way too sketchy, and he was trying to initiate contacts with low-level Trump campaign aides

Good post Kabar.

Page and Halper both could have been deep state agents inside the Trump organization. Just because the redacted docs refer to one person doesn't mean there wasn't at least one more. That makes sense from deep state's point of view. They want to run out the clock and hope the dems take over the House. If forced to do so, they could give up Page's name, knowing he was not the actual source.
