The FBI botched its investigation of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting — downplaying the gunman’s anti-GOP motives*** The House Judiciary Committee, *** released the scathing, unclassified report on its findings Tuesday after combing through roughly 3,000 case file documents it was given last month on the attack that wounded six, including current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), and led to the death of gunman James T. Hodgkinson. “This is the same FBI that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bomb [on Jan. 6, 2021], who can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs opinion and who can tell us...

George Papadopoulos ‏ @GeorgePapa19 7h7 hours ago The astonishing info coming out of Italy is that FBI attaché in Rome, Michael Gaeta, was in direct communications with Joseph Mifsud in Rome. No surprise that Mifsud is openly living a block from the US embassy there! Why aren’t American journalists on the next flight to Rome?

Susan Miller says US intelligence chief’s allegations were based on misrepresentations of discoveries made by her team about Russian actionsA former CIA officer who helped lead the intelligence assessments over alleged Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election has said Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is ignorant of the practices of espionage after she accused Barack Obama and his national security team of “treasonous conspiracy” against Donald Trump.Susan Miller, the agency’s head of counter-intelligence at the time of the election, told the Guardian that Gabbard’s allegations were based on false statements and basic misrepresentations of discoveries made by...

Who is Susan Miller, and why did she lie about authoring the Obama-ordered 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that got the Russian collusion circus going?... who put Miller up to this suicide mission...Miller made headlines when she was quoted in NBC News and elsewhere in the legacy media biosphere that Tulsi Gabbard was lying

Adam Schiff has always had that smug “I know something you don’t know” smirk. Turns out what he allegedly knew was how to weaponize classified information for political gain—and then act shocked anyone would call it illegal. This week, a Democratic whistleblower—someone who worked in Schiff’s own House orbit for more than a decade—told the FBI that Schiff personally approved leaking classified material in order to smear Donald Trump. Not a rumor. Not a guess. Not an “I heard it from a guy.” The whistleblower alleges Schiff gave the order in a general staff meeting. Translation: he wanted an audience...

Charles McGonigal may be the most corrupt FBI official in modern history—and yet somehow, his name has barely made a blip on the radar. This wasn’t some mid-level pencil-pusher. McGonigal was one of the top counterintelligence agents at the FBI’s New York field office. He was directly involved in the bureau’s most sensitive operations, including the infamous “Crossfire Hurricane” probe into (phony) Trump–Russia “collusion.” And after that whole fraudulent mess, it turns out that he was secretly taking money from a Kremlin-linked oligarch and helping shake down Albanian oligarchs on the side. You can’t make this up, right? Now here...

Charles McGonigal, the former head of counterintelligence at the FBI field office in New York City who was involved in the investigation into the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia during the 2016 election, has fallen under the scrutiny of a grand jury convened by U.S. attorneys late last year for his own ties with Russia and other foreign governments, reports Insider. The grand jury is reportedly investigating McGonigal’s business dealings with a top aide to Oleg Deripaska, the billionaire Russian oligarch who was at the center of allegations that Russia colluded with the Trump campaign, according to a recently obtained...

From January to May 2017, James Comey moved from covert scheming to open warfare against the incoming president — misleading Congress, trapping Michael Flynn, renewing surveillance on Trump, and leaking to spark the Mueller probe. Thus far, James Comey’s activities have been largely confined to his duties, however corrupt, within the FBI, or inward-looking. From January 2017 onward, his activities become dramatically darker, arguably illegal, and more forward-looking. On January 5, 2017, a bit more than two weeks before Inauguration, Obama met with Biden, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice, and Assistant Attorney General Sally Yates in the...

Strzok travelled to London 2 days after Crossfire Hurricane was open and 1 day before Obama met with Brennan and Comey to agree how to proceed on the Hillary Plan. Durham report shows that Strzok, Pientka, British intelligence officials and FBI's UK liaison knew straight away that Downer "tip" which was the pretext to open the investigation of the Trump campaign was rubbish. Peintka (SSA1) and Strzok knew it was rubbish, and admitted so in internal communications. Yet the FBI proceeded with it in furtherance of the Hillary plan with the full on investigation, on orders of Obama/Comey.

That’s how the two-headed snake finally gets its comeuppance

For those of you whose eyes may have started glazing over regarding the latest declassifications from Tulsi Gabbard, I highly recommend listening to to the first segment of today's Jeff Kuhner show. He goes over some of the details from the latest releases that may have gotten lost in all the headlines but which truly are smoking guns. The new information simplifies the messaging of the scandal and turns the evidence from circumstantial to irrefutable. And it makes the scandal easy to understand and explain. No wonder the MSM is doing everything it can to keep the public from learning...

@GuntherEagleman 🚨 BREAKING: CIA Director John Ratcliffe just confirmed that John Brennan, James Comey, and Hillary Clinton are likely to be INDICTED over their involvement in Russiagate!

President Trump should have purged every single Obama appointee down to the city dog catcher. It is nothing short of astonishing that not one FBI agent came forward and spoke out against this treasonous plot. These agencies are irretrievably broken. …this entire operation was a deliberate and direct attack on the foundation of American governance. As for Barack Hussein Obama, he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and hounded like our great President has been hounded for the past four years. Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation...

January 6 has become a date of hallowed pagan sacredness to the ruling class – a supposed talisman marking chaos, a shorthand for “threats to democracy.” But the media, predictably, has focused on the wrong January. And the wrong threat. Because the real January 6 – the one that changed everything – wasn’t in 2021. It happened four years earlier, in 2017. Not at the Capitol, but rather in a glass-walled conference room on the 26th floor of Trump Tower. That morning, President-elect Donald J. Trump received a classified briefing from top intelligence officials – a routine, transitional step for...

Over several days, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has declassified and published government documents that she says "verify that the alleged Russia-Trump collusion during the 2016 election was a hoax concocted by Democrats to undermine both the Trump campaign and the Trump Administration. Assessments by the intelligence community and forwarded to President Obama found no evidence of collusion between the Russians and Trump. Yet, President Obama dismissed this finding and insisted that a collusion meme be pursued. This was used to justify unwarranted surveillance of American citizens and a media campaign to cast suspicion on Trump." Former President...

The director of national intelligence gave the Justice Department little warning before she demanded an investigation. President Trump made clear this week that Tulsi Gabbard was back in his good graces. A few weeks ago, Mr. Trump excoriated Ms. Gabbard, one of his top intelligence officials, over a video she filmed during a trip to Asia that he saw as self-promotional, and she was left out of some meetings in the lead-up to the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to two people with knowledge of what happened. But on Tuesday...

Bombshell declassified docs show how Comey FBI mishandled its investigation into Hillary Clinton's illicit private email server and buried key evidence. A newly-declassified appendix to a years-old Justice Department watchdog report shows that then-FBI Director James Comey was swayed to preemptively announce the end of the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton based on mysterious classified intelligence reports – and that the FBI failed to investigate thumbdrives containing potentially key information about use of an illicit private email server.The details are part of a classified appendix to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s 2018 report criticizing the politicized conduct of the FBI’s...

DOJ has declassified key new documents detailing how the Comey FBI and Peter Strzok ignored a major national security breach by Hillary Clinton they should have thoroughly investigated as part of a counterintelligence case, but they went after Donald Trump instead ... When are you going to get off this ignoring stuff? Steele was paid by FBI simultaneously as he was being paid by Clinton. You can do the math. They set Steele up inside Clinton campaign. He was using Danchenko as a cutout. Clinton put him there through Strobe Talbott, another name you are omitting from this that should...

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard appeared on "Hannity" Friday night where she asserted that former President Barack Obama's goal with the Russia collusion narrative was to "subvert the American people's will" in the 2016 presidential election. Gabbard declassified the report on the Obama administration's Russia hoax on Friday, revealing "overwhelming evidence" that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump–Russia collusion probe. ... this is an issue that is "important to every single one of...

A badly burned body found on the floor of a River North parking garage early Tuesday has been identified as a 60-year-old real estate attorney, officials said. Louis S. Cohen, 60, was of the 200 block of Ivy Lane in Highland Park, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy Wednesday was pending and did not determine a cause and manner for Cohen’s death, the office said. Just before 6 a.m. Tuesday, police and fire crews responded to a fire in the 11th floor of a parking garage in the 300 block of North LaSalle Drive and found...
