U.S. Intel Gatekeeper Dragging Feet on Trump-Russia Files, Insiders Say
RealClearInvestigations ^ | August 28, 2019 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 08/28/2019 8:22:33 AM PDT by george76

More than three months after President Trump granted his attorney general unprecedented power to declassify intelligence files, key U.S. intelligence agencies are still withholding documents related to the Trump-Russia affair...

The source of the logjam: the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which Trump is in the process of shaking up after the resignations last month of its director, Dan Coats, and principal deputy, Sue Gordon. “Establishment” officials in that agency are still dragging their feet...

Sources who have seen the documents generally described their contents to RealClearInvestigations. They said the material still under wraps includes:

Evidence that President Obama’s CIA, FBI, and Justice Department illegally eavesdropped on the Trump campaign --- cases separate from the FBI’s disputed FISA court-approved surveillance of Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

An August 2016 briefing CIA Director John Brennan hand-delivered in a sealed envelope to Obama, containing information from what Brennan claimed was "a critical informant close to Putin." The informant is believed to have actually been a Russian source recycled from the largely debunked dossier compiled by ex-British agent Christopher Steele for the Hillary Clinton campaign.

An email exchange from December 2016 between Brennan and FBI Director James Comey, in which Brennan is said to have argued for using the dossier in early drafts of the task force’s much-hyped January 2017 intelligence assessment. That spread the narrative that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the alleged Clinton campaign hacking to steal the election for Trump.

Copies of all FBI, CIA and State Department records related to Joseph Mifsud, the mysterious Maltese professor whose statements regarding Papadopoulos allegedly triggered the original Russia-collusion probe.

...

Clapper leaked dossier information to CNN just before Trump was inaugurated. He is now a CNN contributor and constant Trump critic.

Seth Rich was the source of the DNC data.
Russia,Russia,Russia was to cover that up and his subsequent murder.

And these were only the last crimes of an illegitimate usurper.

What they are terrified of being revealed is that BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.

Obama was never eligible.

Trump should jump in his limo, reporters, Secret Service and US Marshals in tow, and drive to the ODNI, walk in and demand to be provided the documents listed above. Any resistance should be dealt with by the Secret Service and US Marshals with threats of immediate arrest for those who refuse to comply. Name names and show the faces of those refusing a direct order from the POTUS.

Like Hussein Obama :: Kamala is also not legally qualified to be a US President.. Harris’s parents were not U.S. Citizens when Kamala was born.

Kamala Harris is NOT a ‘natural born Citizen” of the United States to constitutional standards .

Neither are Haley, Jindal, Rubio, Cruz or George P. Bush.
They are the reason the GOP went along with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Both parties want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending it.

Christopher Wray is a Deep State hack.. Chris Christie recommended him… Part of the resistance... FBI Wray worked under Comey and with Mueller… should be fired.

-2- Henry Kerner = McCain flunky who urged the IRS’ Lois Lerner to target the tea party and any conservative groups until its “financially ruinous”.

Kerner (head of the Office of the Special Counsel ) hates conservatives.

The Office of Special Counsel issued a report in which Henry Kerner concluded that Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway violated the Hatch Act on two separate occasions. The White House, however, did not agree with his conclusions.

Should also be fired.

Pull their security clearances. I believe that clearance is a requirement for their job so they can be fired if they do not maintain it.

Can somebody deputize 50 people (Marines at Quantico, retired military, guys down at Joe’s Tavern, etc.) and go pick up the documents? Pick it all up and sort it later.
