With NSA O’Brien 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.
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.
Pres Trump’s 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 won’t bode well for the FBI and DOJ. It also raises significant questions regarding preferential treatment of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and whether she ever received ‘defensive briefings’ in detail from the bureau. Lynch’s testimony is still not public but has been reviewed by SaraACarter.com.
"I WAS CERTAINLY AWARE THAT IT WAS AN OPTION, BUT
I DON’T 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.
==================================================
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, Trump’s 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.

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 author’s intent to provide Obama with a cover story.
Put aside the nonsense aspect to the origination of the investigation for a moment; that part doesn’t 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.”
That’s the Obamatons justification for a lengthy series of lies and false statements.
<><> That’s why FBI Director James Comey can lie to President Trump and tell him he’s not the target of the ongoing Russia investigation.
<><> That’s the justification for keeping the accusations inside the Steele Dossier (remember, the Dossier is evidence) from the President-elect.
<><> That’s 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 didn’t know; we had to be prudent‘, etc.
Getting outraged about the Obama administration’s lies, misstatements and fabrications can backfire if you don’t 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. That’s exactly why Susan Rice wrote it; and each of the participating members knows they can use it, when needed.

<><> 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?

Real connectivity and conspiracy did take place, by way of HRC’s financing of the DNC $12+ Million dollar payout, for Kremlin operative provided “Dossier” info, given to Christopher Steele.
Additionally, actual proof of VA (D) Sen. Mark Warner (and probably NC (R) Sen. Burr) has now emerged, showing Sen. Warner was working directly with one of the Putins closest Kremlin related Oligarchs, to take down President Trump. This was then covered up by Rod Rosenstein and Liu, who commuted attorney Wolfe’s sentence for his TS/SCI “spill” to his New York lover reporter, to shield Sen. Mark Warner (at least) —

Now straying a bit...
Leftist in general, already religiously and militantly live life in moral relativity, where the end will always justify the “means” or evil and crime. Leftists have also long been at war with liberty loving patriotic, God honoring Americans, who espouse moral boundaries, individual responsibility, and those who have morally strong non-government dependent families, (who without government help, actually know their gender’s :).
Leftists believe, feel, and act (if they can), to force individuals (starting with little children), and all levers of society, to capitulate to narcissistic leftist controlled subjugation.
This is the baseline from which leftists live and act from.
Now fill the IC, DoD, and nation’s highest policing agencies with those narcissistic leftists, who espouse societal subjugation to global socialist totalitarianism.
We are in a real ideological war. (WoW what a genius to figure that all out :).
Leftists in the ic have long been planning, fostering, and covering up left-wing IC goals and activity for decades, which were designed to, (what I believe Eisenhower was really warning of), shift our nation toward what would be an all powerful, centralized, top-down, militarized, authoritarian government.
However, even if avoidable, that Domino was kicked over long ago.
Sure, the blame game will continue to be played. However, the world really is so bad and dangerous, regardless of who manipilated the genesis of aggressiveness, an honest assessment of the aggressive weapons tech and military build-outs of 20th and now 21 Centuries, leaves no real choice, but to rely on superior strength, and your enemies belief in your willingness to use that strength, to avoid inhalation.
That being controversially said, and legitimate OCONUS threats and external socialist “infiltration influences” acknowledged, the greatest threat to our liberty and our Constitutional Republic today is absolutely from within.
After decades of humanistic derived moral relativity and socialist “infil”, and left-wing “progress” made within our IC/DOD/DOJ/SOS, (to subvert our Constitution), AND ESPECIALLY NOW, under fearful pressure of criminal exposure, (having just tried to frame and carry out a real Coup d’etat against an innocent sitting POTUS — *WILL these leftists, (with no moral boundaries), suddenly voluntarily produce the actual honest droves of proof, of the multi-agency crimes and CYBER CLONING, which was done to provide the false, but global mass media left-wing narrative necessary for the DNC and RINO’s to spearhead legislative removal of President Trump?
Only an undecerning fool could believe such a notion...
