This little Trio of Rosenstein, McCabe and Weissman along with the same Judge is no coincidence, that is structured on purpose. Just stinks to high heaven


I'd like to know how many judges there were total to choose from to show how egregious the "coincidence" was.
That's tricky, there is a LOT of them, just in DC, then they can also go across the Potomac to VA or Go to Maryland and that's what they did to get this judge Theodore Chuang.

Just like Mueller did on Grand Jury he cherry picked one in Virginia. It's a messy business.

My understanding is that Mueller removed the Flynn matter from consideration of the Virginia grand jury and convened his own in DC to get an overwhelmingly Black grand jury pool. The grand jury in Virginia was much more racially balanced and he didn't trust them to indict Flynn. Hence the bait and switch. Had the Virginia grand jury returned with a no bill of indictment, Mueller would have been screwed. He couldn't let that happen.

(And yes, that was legal, technically. Ethically? No.)

So what are Strzok, the Ohr's, Lisa Page, and I imagine others doing these days? They have been demoted, taken off cases, probably isolated ... Strzok was kicked off Muellers team back in the summer.

Do they even go in to work anymore? Spend their time lawyer-ing up? Go into hiding? Fear for their lives? They have got to know they are in deep ****, don't you think? And everyone else has got to know they are in deep ***** And some of those who know have got to know that they may be in deep **** themselves.

Not that I care at all about them but it is pretty darn quiet in their corner.

How about keeping the "Q" stuff on its own thread?

As for the body near the runway, it appears to have been a stowaway. Not the first time someone has hidden in the wheel well of an aircraft only to have their body fall out when the gear is lowered.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Q has its own thread, please keep Q on his own thread. Except for the occasional diversion, this thread has maintained a narrow focus on Dossier/FBI/DOJ corruption. So, to yank this thread back on track, TCTH has put out the following article (I'm surprised it wasn't already posted)

Just read that. Great overview. Tough to really quote it, but here is a decent summary:
Quote:

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes is focused on the FISA abuse; and overall abuse from the larger intelligence community (FBI, CIA, ODNI and NSA). The FISA-702 angle is his leverage to reveal it.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is focused on the Dossier fraud; and the overall DOJ and FBI corruption. The Steele Dossier is his leverage to reveal it.

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte is focused on the FBI and DOJ corruption; and his leverage is the Office of Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, and the year-long IG investigation that just turned over 1.2 million pages of investigative documents.

Nunes, Grassley and Goodlatte are working in concert, each with a specific attack strategy that targets the larger swamp defense. Next week they begin the three-pronged attack we call "THE BIG UGLY".

Yes, tough to quote and I did not even try, it covers a lot of ground. They name the players...


Quote:

The Players, "Insiders":

DOJ side:
  • Asst. Attorney General Sally Yates,
  • Asst. AG Head of National Security Division John P Carlin;
  • Deputy Attorney Bruce Ohr; and
  • legal liaison between Main Justice and FBI, Attorney Lisa Page.

FBI side:
  • FBI Director Jim Comey;
  • Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe;
  • Director of Counterintelligence W.H. "Bill Priestap";
  • FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker; and
  • lead FBI Counterintelligence Agent Peter Strzok.

Outsiders (The Dossier Crew):
  • Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson;
  • the wife of Simpson, Mary B. Jacoby;
  • a hired private contractor, familiar with CIA operations, Nellie Ohr (also wife of DOJ team insider Bruce Ohr);
  • contracted former British MI6 Agent and head of Russia House, Christopher Steele (also attributed authorship of 'Dossier').

DOJ Rod Rosenstein & Andrew Weissman need to be listed, they are key I believe

Has to be FBI since DOJ folk aren't referred to as agents I don't believe. Technically FBI folk are "special agents" but whatevs.

Discount Hillary on it....I think she was told Barry would orchestrate it.

And he promptly turned it over to VJ (Queen), who was moving the other chess pieces on the board:
  • Lynch
  • Comey
  • Priestap
  • Simpson
  • Steele
  • etc.

But I think she was also manipulating Huma and DWS as well.

If this were an Alien movie, she'd be a shape-shifter. She's nastier than Ashley Judd.

Well I know a song bird but he's not an agent. I'm guessing Strzok but hoping for Priestap.

Isn't Priestap the one person close to this whole thing that might be clean? Did I miss something?

He was Strzok's boss. You don't get the kind of assignments that Strzok got without Priestap being involved.

The mass media radio silence about these items is bizarre and troubling.
If bank records prove the allegations that Fusion GPS was paying media outlets to run select stories, it means the media isn't merely biased but they're actually culpable. The media needs to keep people from learning the truth or else they lose all credibility.

I have suspected more than just three involved in the vague meeting in Andy's office, except only three names were mentioned. So for the disclosed actions to have happened, there is no way Bill Priestap could not have been NOT in the loop. If he is not directly involved, at least a tacit understanding is suspect. Has anyone also noticed Bill Priestap's absence from all the questioning so far with the different committees. It jumps right out at you. I suspect that he is cooperating with the IG and/or Mueller.

One thing I don't get:

If FBI was working with Fusion GPS and Crowdstrike(?) back in April 2016 to surveil Trump (and other candidates?) and collect data that eventually went into the Steele dossier which was used to get a FISA warrant, why get a FISA warrant?

A FISA warrant just lets them do what they were already doing. Why go thru the motion to get one?
