Former Acting DNI Joseph Maguire did not brief the white house prior to taking Shelby Pierson, the person in charge of evaluating intelligence regarding election security, to lead the presentation to the house intel committee (HPSCI). Thats the key takeaway from a taped preview of National Security Advisor Robert OBrien on Face The Nation.
With NSA OBrien confirming what many suspected it begs the question why would Shelby Pierson and Joseph Maguire intentionally blindside the White House? The briefing was obviously spun by HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff and democrats on the committee; and there was no intelligence presented to support the claims made by Democrats and media.
Sending shockwaves through the intelligence community, now Acting DNI Grenell has asked the intelligence community, including Shelby Pierson to produce the underlying intelligence within her briefing. It is reported that Pierson and the alliance of intelligence around her are going bananas. Sounds like Ms. Pierson might not last long.

“why would Shelby Pierson and Joseph Maguire intentionally blindside the White House?”
Even stupid people know the answer to that question.

That didn’t take long!
“Acting DNI Grenell has asked the intelligence community, including Shelby Pierson to produce the underlying intelligence within her briefing...”
This should be interesting.
So, Schiff just made up another story. This time about Russian election interference.
Pres Trumps campaign was never given a defensive briefing by the FBI, despite Democrats' mounting concerns that Russians were allegedly trying to penetrate the campaign during the 2016 presidential election to help Trump win..
In testimony provided by Obama's AG Loretta Lynch, along with others, it is the key finding that wont bode well for the FBI and DOJ. It also raises significant questions regarding preferential treatment of Hillary Clintons campaign and whether she ever received defensive briefings in detail from the bureau. Lynchs testimony is still not public but has been reviewed by SaraACarter.com.
"I WAS CERTAINLY AWARE THAT IT WAS AN OPTION, BUT
I DONT KNOW WHAT, IF ANYTHING, EVER HAPPENED TO THAT OPTION," SAID OBAMA'S AG LYNCH.
The "defensive briefing" is a time-honored procedure that is often given to presidential candidates, elected officials and even U.S. businesses that have either been unwittingly approached by foreign actors attempting to gain trust and befriend those in position of influence.
The briefing allows the government to protect the candidates, specifically if there is substantial information or knowledge to suggest that someone has targeted an unwitting American for information, if the FBI or intel agencies suspect foreign adversaries may be trying to penetrate a presidential campaign.
There was no intelligence presented to support the claims made by Democrats and media.
Another grave dug for the democrat rats.

Obama's AG Lynch Reveals Bias and Intent For Failing To Give Trump Defensive Briefing
Said she didn't know why candidate Trump did not receive DOJ "defensive briefings"

Washington (CNN)---An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document
related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser, several people briefed on the matter told CNN.

DID COMEY SPY ON LORETTA LYNCH
It was the peak of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, and Comey (as hes said) was troubled by Lynchs attitude such as her September 2015 directive that the FBI not call its criminal investigation of Clinton an investigation (let alone criminal), but simply a matter, which was exactly what the Clinton campaign wanted. Lynch had made major career advances in the 1990s under President Bill Clinton and her boss, President Barack Obama, plainly supported Hillarys candidacy.
Plus, Obama was also implicated in the scandal, since hed exchanged multiple emails with Clinton at her non-government address a fact they were all keeping from the public. Stewart reports that Comeys highly placed informant indicated that Lynch wouldnt let the FBI investigation add to Clintons woes. An email reportedly from the head of the Democratic National Committee assured a civilian that Lynch wouldnt let the Clinton investigation get very far, suggesting that Lynch would protect Clinton, Stewart writes.
All this, plus Lynchs tarmac tête-à-tête with Bill Clinton as the investigation er, matter was coming to a close, led Comey (by his own account) to hold his remarkable press conference where he declared that Clinton shouldnt be prosecuted for her extremely careless behavior. Extremely careless being the term he settled on after his staff found that grossly negligent, the phrase in Comeys draft, would make Clintons conduct criminal under the relevant statutes.
That press conference, as Justices inspector general and others later noted, was a gross violation of Comeys ethical duties. More recent Washington history seems to suggest that, if he had concerns about his boss ethics, Comey should have filed a whistleblower report and leaked it to the opposition party in Congress.
==================================================
ITEM The FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials were intentionally not being direct and honest with President Trump and key members of his new administration. Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue, and in some cases had serious ramifications.
ITEM At 12:15pm on January 20th, 2017, Trumps inauguration day, outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote herself a memo.
ITEM Susan Rice was protecting herself and the Obama team from consequences if the scheme against President Trump was discovered.
ITEM Rice writes that on January 5, following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election, President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Corney and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Vice President Biden and I were also present.
ITEM Rice states that then-President Obama stressed his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities by the book. The outgoing President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.
From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.
[Redacted Classified Section of Unknown length]
The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Corney said he would.
Susan Rice ~ (pdf link)
ITEM Rice's is not a CYA memo----it is a justification memo, written by an outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice to document why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and all of his officials.
ITEM Gen Flynn was her replacement .and was not advised of many of her activities.
This is not a CYA memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.
The By The
Even the tim Book aspect refers to President Obama and Susan Rice being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation to determine if he was under the influence of the Russian government. ing of the memo, written 15 minutes prior to the end of the Obama administration, is ex-post-facto useful as evidence of the authors intent to provide Obama with a cover story.
Put aside the nonsense aspect to the origination of the investigation for a moment; that part doesnt apply here . Accept their position as if it is substantive.
We are talking about Brennan, Comey, Clapper and Yates telling President Obama and NSA Susan Rice that President-elect Trump is under a counterintelligence investigation where the suspicion is that Donald J Trump is an agent of a foreign power.
Under those auspices (fraudulent though it may be) the incoming President is a counterintelligence investigation target. A potentially compromised Russian asset. Under this auspices all of the officials would be permitted to lie and mislead their target, so long as they did so By The Book.
Thats the Obamatons justification for a lengthy series of lies and false statements.
<><> Thats why FBI Director James Comey can lie to President Trump and tell him hes not the target of the ongoing Russia investigation.
<><> Thats the justification for keeping the accusations inside the Steele Dossier (remember, the Dossier is evidence) from the President-elect.
<><> Thats the justification for all of the officials to lie to President Trump, and even mislead the media if needed.
Susan Rice's email is one big Justification Letter; setting the stage for all of the participants to have a plausible reason for lies to anyone and everyone ...and a particularly detailed confession to many, many crimes.
See how that works? Every lie, every omission, every false and/or misleading statement, must first be filtered through the By The Book prism of Trump being considered a Russian asset. This is the justification trap democrats are waiting to exploit for maximum damage and diminishment of counter attack.
The By the Book justification, where every action could have been taken because Trump might have been an actual Russian operative, is the weapon under the camouflage tarp as the radical left lures-in their political opposition. They shrug their shoulders and say in condescending voice: well, we didnt know; we had to be prudent, etc.
Getting outraged about the Obama administrations lies, misstatements and fabrications can backfire if you dont first think about it from their constructed frame-of-reference.
The By-the-Book framework is based on a false-premise; but the action, just about any action, taken to mislead (even undermine) the incoming administration is excusable under this carefully crafted justification memo. Thats exactly why Susan Rice wrote it; and each of the participating members knows they can use it, when needed.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
<><> Call out John Brennan for telling Harry Reid about the Steele Dossier during his gang-of-eight briefing,
<><> but not telling Go8 member Devin Nunes about it.
<><> Brennan escapes by saying Nunes was on the Trump transition team; and briefing a conflicted politician on the dossier would have compromised the FBI investigation.
<><> Call out James Comey for lying to President-elect Trump during the January 6th Trump Tower meeting.
<><> Comey escapes by saying Trump was a target of the FBI investigation for potential compromise as a Russian asset;
<><> In counter-intel operations informing the target of the evidence against him would have compromised the investigation. See how that works?

We would be a safer nation to live in, if the FBI/DOJ and CIA were closed down today.
Lynch not briefing candidate and president elect Trump is beyond neglect.
Thank you for your work.
QUOTING TOM FITTON, JUDICIAL WATCH PRESIDENT:
Obama's State Dept was all hands on deck in terms of targeting Trump.
<><> meetings with Glen Simpson, Steele, Clinton aides, Sid Blumenthal and Clinton associate, Cody Shearer.
<><> Shocker---there was more than one dossier going to the FBI and DOJ.....
<><> there was Christopher Steele's dossier,
<><> and a second dossier created by the State Dept itself, targeting Trump.
<><> shows Jonathan Winer and Glen Simpson were in contact Sept 2016
<><> Winer immediately contacted Victoria Nuland, a top aide at the Obama State Dept.
<><> Post-election, they worked hand in glove with top Dem Steny Hoyer's guy on Russian issues.

Obama's FBI Was Giving Different Intelligence Briefings to Candidate Trump than to Candidate Clinton
GATEWAY PUNDIT | 6/23/2019 | Jim Hoft / FR Posted by bitt
The Democrats and liberal media insist that Russia wanted Trump to win over Crooked Hillary. The entire premise is ridiculous. The Russians had enough dirt on Hillary to fill the White House. The TRUTH is that the entire DC establishment including the Obama White House, the liberal media and the Obama Deep State wanted Hillary Clinton to win and they worked tirelessly and illegitimately to make it happen. And still failed. On Sunday former prosecutory and Rep. Trey Gowdy joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. (video) (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
================================
AND THIS Dems Colluded with foreign countries to generate propaganda to affect a Presidential Election.
They forced a bogus investigation, and in typical Dem fashion, they accused Trump of doing what they did......
.......there are dozens of memos that make up an actual diary of moment-by-moment events, during the FBI
investigation of Donald Trump (as candidate and as president), documented by Obama's FBI Director Comey......
SOURCE: CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE | 4/9/2019 | SUNDANCE / FR Posted by bitt
A late day submission to DC Circuit Court in a FOIA case reveals the content of previously
unknown James Comey memos. Obama's entire anti-Trump operation is memorialized in writing:
<><> how Obamas FBI Director James Comey wrote down the sources and code-names assigned;
<><> how confidential sources engaged with FISA coverage initiated by Obama's FBI;
<><> naming foreign governments assisting Obama and Hillary with their vile efforts;
<><> and the rollout plans for Obama's phony investigation....."by the book."
======================================
During her ill-fated campaign Hillary bragged about foreign governments supporting her election.
Are these the same foreign governments Comey had assisting their efforts to frame Trump? (smirk)
That would mean Obama, Comey and Hillary were colluding with
foreign governments to meddle in our elections, wouldnt it?
Lynch not briefing candidate and president elect Trump is beyond neglect.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I’d call it intentional & malicious.
No question........
Thankfully, we now have Susan Rice’s memo who stupidly gave us the evidence....outlining the dirty deeds they all were up to.
Y/V/W
“Id call it intentional & malicious.”
Thanks for a good start!
So, Schiff just made up another story. This time about Russian election interference.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
that’s what it’s looking like.....again
