My Discussion with John Durhams Lead Investigator William Aldenberg
Conservatve Treehouse ^ | 8/22/2020 | Sundance

Posted on 08/22/2020 6:37:55 PM PDT by CaptainK

On Tuesday August 18th, I had the opportunity to talk to, be interviewed by and brief, the person described as the “main guy”, the “central investigator”, “the guy who coordinates all investigative aspects” behind the John Durham investigation.

His name is William Aldenberg, and before getting to the substance of the conversation some background context is needed.

On June 7, 2018, an indictment against Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director James Wolfe was unsealed.

Approximately six weeks later, July 21, 2018, the DOJ mysteriously declassified and publicly released the Carter Page FISA application. That’s when I noticed the first two documents were related. The FISA application was the “top secret classified document” described in the Wolfe indictment.

Immediately I recognized it wasn’t just any copy of the FISA application that was released by the DOJ; but rather a very specific copy of the FISA application. What the DOJ released was the exact copy used in the leak investigation of James Wolfe. The ramifications of this specific copy being publicly released were immediately noted, although almost everyone seemed to gloss over the issue in favor of discussing the content.

Over the course of the next several months the ramifications became more clear. Despite overwhelming evidence James Wolfe was never charged with leaking the FISA application on March 17, 2017. Quite the contrary, even to this day the official position of the FBI, DOJ and U.S. government is that Wolfe *did not* leak the FISA application. There’s a very big reason for that; as both myself and special agent William Aldenberg discussed.

A Summary

1)An FBI agent provided evidence that Carter Pages' FISA application was leaked to the NY Times by Intelligence Committee Security Director James Wolfe. Wolfe may have had an intimate relationship with the Time's reporter he gave the application too

2) Circumstantial evidence points to Sen Mark Warner as either helping or being aware of the leak and the leaker.

3)James Wolfe is brought up on charges, but he is only tried for one count of lying to Federal investigators. He should have been brought up on the far more serious charge of leaking classified information but his file is scrubbed by the DOJ and the SC in order to protect and give cover to swampy Senatorial creatures who helped him or knew about the leak.

Sundance flat out states that the “silo” in which the Senate intel interrogations took place will NEVER be used in DOJ investigations, so basically everything that the House (Nunes) or the Senate (Burr) intel committees found out WILL not be used in the Durham investigation.

Not only is this idiotic on the surface, but it means practically that no one of any significance even “can” be charged, let alone will be charged.

WHO is running this DISSONANCE CRAPSHOW?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still campaigning against the Trump administration? You only 5 weeks to go - working hard to get Biden elected by using 3rd hand info to portray Trump as party to the Dem’s abuse of our country and Trump/his family?

Still using the litmus tests of facial hair and musical talent to determine who is deep state etc.?

Say, have you given your schedule and the charges to be made against your favorite pics to Barr and co? Cause I think they are actually following time consuming legal procedure, rule of law and all that, and know more about what’s going than, well, Conservative Treehouse or individual prosecutors.

Like, well, those other charges are hanging over Wolfe’s head still, just ‘cause they aren’t charged today doesn’t mean they won’t charge tomorrow. I know because I watch the justice.gov website and they do this - one charge and then a few weeks later, “superceding charges”. Or if Wolf cooperates, and testifies against higher ups, maybe no other superceding charges. But, they’d have to negotiate because the people Wolf could expose would easily kill him.

Guess I’ll see you around, lobbying against the sitting president and for Biden. Patriots still out number you on FR, I think. Just sayin’.

Do we know for sure that a legislative branch employee leaking classified information is actually against the law? Something tells me that there’s a separation of powers issue in charging someone in one branch of government with a crime that is wholly the purview of another branch of government, and something else tells me that the people who write the laws wouldn’t be eager to expose themselves to criminal liability if they could help it.

It’s not idiotic. It’s intentional sabotage, duplicative and a run out the clock tactic by the coup enabling “Trump” DOJ. Contrast this to how often Congressional Democrats use the DOJ PRODUCED Mueller Report to continue their assaults on POTUS and his supporters.

Ok, next question: since the only people officially cleared and authorized to posess classified information are Executive Branch personnel (the legislative and judicial branches are given access as part of their constitutional oversight authorities in a sort of ritualized gentleman's agreement with murky enforcement if they leak), has any person not currently or previously employed by the Executive Branch ever been charged with or successfully prosecuted for this crime? Pat Leahy says no, but maybe he's wrong.

It's all part of the deep state Kabuki of political intrigue. There are two types of leaks: sanctioned ones by people who are authorized to leak, and unsanctioned ones. The people who know, they eventually learn who the leakers are. But by revealing their names, they themselves could be leaking classified information or at a minimum become targets for retribution. The leakers don't go on the record because they wouldn't get reelected, or they would hurt the election chances of their party (or the party they actually support in the case of turncoat republicans) if they were brazenly leaking classified information for political purposes in an attributable manner.

Sen. Mark Warner Traded Secret Texts with Russian Oligarch’s Lobbyist Linked to Hillary
2/9/2018, 7:47:45 AM · by markomalley · 14 replies
PJ Media ^ | 2/8/18 | Debra Heine
The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee communicated through phone calls and text messages last spring with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch in order to gain access to Christopher Steele, the former British spy who wrote the salacious and unverified anti-Trump dossier. Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.) texted back and forth with lobbyist Adam Waldman, who runs the Endeavor Group — which has ties to (surprise!) Hillary Clinton — while leading the Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation into President Trump’s alleged ties to Russia with his Republican colleague North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr.In one text to the lobbyist, the senator expressed a desire...

Was Christopher Steele Paid by Russian Oligarch and Putin Ally Oleg Deripaska?
2/13/2018, 1:53:04 PM · by mojito · 11 replies
Tablet ^ | 2/13/2018 | Lee Smith
A release last week of texts showed that Christopher Steele, the former British spy whose memos regarding the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia are referred to as the Steele dossier, reached out to Sen. Mark Warner, the ranking Democratic member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, through a Russian-linked Washington, D.C., lobbyist named Adam Waldman. Among Waldman’s clients is Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magnate with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a text dated March 16, 2017, Waldman texted Warner, “Chris Steele asked me to call you.” In 2009, Waldman filed papers with the Department of Justice...

FEBRUARY 9, 2018 : (TRUMP TWEET ABOUT DEMOCRAT SENATOR MARK WARNER’S CONTACT WITH A LOBBYIST FOR A RUSSIAN OLIGARCH —— See CHRISTOPHER STEELE, STEELE DOSSIER, HILLARY CLINTON)
Donald J. Trump
Verified account @realDonaldTrump 13h13 hours ago
Wow! -Senator Mark Warner got caught having extensive contact with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch. Warner did not want a “paper trail” on a “private” meeting (in London) he requested with Steele of fraudulent Dossier fame. All tied into Crooked Hillary.

*****************
This guy that Warner was connecting with, the American middleman to Deripaska...was Adam Waldman.
What the Washington Times says....Waldman was being paid $40,000 a month, to represent the Russian.
The curious thing is that Waldman was considered an insider to the Clinton Foundation.

Seems the ‘connection’ was primarily with the firm - from story and link below:
BREAKING: Senate Intel Committee Democrat Busted Texting Russian Oligarch!
http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=116751
“We have so much to discuss u need to be careful but we can help our country,” Warner texted the lobbyist, Adam Waldman, on March 22, 2017.
“I’m in,” Waldman, whose firm has ties to Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner.”
