On July 31st, 2016 the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation against the Trump campaign. They did not inform congress until March 2017. At the beginning of August (1st-3rd) 2016 FBI Agent Peter Strzok traveled to London, England for interviews with UK intelligence officials. On August 15th, 2016 Peter Strzok sends a text message to DOJ Lawyer Lisa Page describing the insurance policy, needed in case Hillary Clinton were to lose the election.
Recently there has been a great deal of interest in the origination OF the 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation, and how the FISA court was later used to gain Title-1 surveillance warrant against U.S. person Carter Page; part of that operation.
The current line of inquiry surrounds the originating EC or electronic communication that was generated by CIA Director John Brennan and passed on to FBI Director James Comey. The EC initiated the FBI Counterintelligence Operation.
Specifically, House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes has asked about a redacted name within the EC, which has led to the DOJ and FBI claiming to release the name would compromise the individual.
All of these inquires, and refusals, center around the origination authority for the FBI Counterintelligence operation. The origination led to the FISA warrant. Remember that.
Chairman Nunes sent Main Justice a classified letter asking questions. DOJ responded saying they would not comply with providing information (letter) The Washington Post claimed Nunes was looking for information on an FBI/DOJ source: a U.S. citizen who has provided intelligence to the CIA and FBI. Additionally, this source was later also described by WaPo as a witness for Robert Muellers ongoing investigation.

I think it was here before papa Bush became POTUS.
Great link at #10.
Thanx for linking us up grampa!
Very heavy details of intrigue
Swamp is deep , wide , & been around for a long time
“Goober Magoo IS the insurance policy”
The problem with this theory is that is assumes the intelligence of the intelligence operatives. Actually, it assumes that Deep State could control the placement of Sessions as Attorney General. That seems far fetched. Deep State was unable to determine the outcome of the election. How could they strategize so far into the future and control President Trump’s decision of who to pick as attorney general?
It WAS a different Cohen.
That’s the meat of all the hyperbole in the Michael Cohen scandal right now.
If you take any single person and look hard enough, you WILL find dirt and, even by extension of a business associate, client or otherwise, that which might be activity that could be prosecutable.
It just so happens that this was a marriage of convenience...
Thanks for the correction.
Halper has been involved with every president since Nixon!
(The U.S. Senate - where American freedom goes to die.)
But not these people. They just grit their teeth and growl, “Make something up. I don’t care if he’s innocent, we need to destroy this guy. Find a way.”
Just awful.
Its worse. The Obama/Clinton/FBI likely planned to destroy Trump even if he lost as a warning for any political outsiders who might contemplate running against the Uniparty in the future.
Yes of course, the real Michael Cohen never went to Prague. Also, the pee party never happened and Carter Page never agreed on Trump’s behalf to drop sanctions in return for a financial payoff.
The dossier was bogus.
That didn’t stop the FBI from using it to open counterintelligence investigations. In fact, I’m sure they never did a real investigation into the dossier because they didn’t want to disprove it; they wanted to use it as a pretext for surveillance on team Trump.
I would guess that the FBI opened counterintelligence investigations on a number of Trump people, who knows how many, but they included: George Papadopoulos; Carter Page; Michael Cohen; Michael Flynn; and Paul Manafort. Maybe even Donald J. Trump himself.
A witness for Robert Muellers ongoing investigation.
Total BS.
The day Donald Trump passes away and he is laid to rest in his grave, the commie press will still be trying to link him with the Russian (Soviet Union) allies to cheat in the election. They will never quit, ever!!! Hillary has had more contact with the Russians and Bill has spent more time over there running his mouth for money than any other American. I doubt American CIA spies have spent as much time over than Bill has. Our side is up against the entire US press community, half of the American public, and a majority of foreign nations. Few nations are on our side. Mainly, only Israel is on our side, because it is the Christian conservatives that support Israel and they get along with us. Few others are on our side. As old conservatives, such as me, pass on, we will continue to fall further behind in conservative voters. The majority of our kids are being brain washed in public schools so probably 75-80% of them will go lefty because of the brain washing. I am glad that I am old and will not be around to see America go down the drain in about 20-25 years.
The piece missing from the conversation is that all of this spying/surveillance information was being funnelled/leaked (choose your word) directly/indirectly to the Clinton campaign. It would not surprise me that these messages were on the DNC server. (Being held as insurance??)
You would be a fool to believe that all this intel on the Trump campaign ended up gathering dust in the FBI/CIA/NSA.
My head is spinning !
“And most times it turns out he is not correct.”
What are you talking about? Most of the time The Conservative Treehouse is correct and since 2016, he’s been ahead of most everyone ALL the time.
Can I have what you’re smoking? :)
Uh, you need to actually either:1. Keep track of the CTH predictions ( like the Big Ugly going to happen next week a prediction made months ago and nothing, OR 2. Listen to all the other FR readers who have piped in on CTH inaccuracy. CTH has been pretty thoroughly discounted as a source worth taking too seriously. Bradman has some ability to connect dots and organize information, but where he goes off the rails is interpretation, analysis and prediction. Moreover, since bradman makes money with every click onto his site he really has no incentive to be correct. You might also consider seeing how critics have described bradman.
For further example he stated as fact that there are grand jurys lookin at the clinton obama scandals involving FISA and other issues. He came to that conclusion based on a one sentence response to a congress member from DOJ. Even Sessions statements do not make the same claim.
Bottom line, critical thinking, it works.
>>So is anything going to be done about this?<<
This is the great unanswered question, and thus far I do not see ANY of the principal deep state conspirators in imminent danger of being indicted. I think it’s Sessions job to see that none of them will be.
True. And you've given much to think about.
If I was to wager a guess, the obama admin, plus a few of his predecessors had "insurance policies" all over the place.
There were endless turds in the punchbowl, probably going back to Truman.
Certainly Eisenhower.
And we all know about JFK.
Nixon, probably the smartest guy to ever become POTUS was no match for these people.
If you listen to his tapes, why on earth would he be fearful of "Opening up the whole Bay of Pigs thing"?
And why would Nixon "protect" LBJ and previous POTUS' in the Pentagon Papers?
Tom Hanks made Nixon some kind of demon in "The Post", but Nixon had some reason to want them quashed.
I have no idea why he would have some "loyalty" to LBJ and JFK.
The Pentagon Papers made them both look like crap.
...Remember that Trump was the one who outed Obama with the birth certificate conflict forcing Obama to post that bogus document. Thats where the war began against Trump. Pay-back.......
**************************************
I wonder if some FBI expertise was used to build the phony birth certificate? Nothing would surprise me any more...the corruption of the deep state is proving to be bottomless.
The swamp attempted to prevent the drainage.
Carter Page.
