If you remember, we had posts about Brennan running this operation with GCHQ Director Robert Hannigan circa 1.5 years or so ago.nortex97 said:

Short thread. Strzok's new book is being pushed by the MSM, except that it's full of lies and deception...as we would expect.

...It turns out that the heated discussion over the whistleblower, who was previously identified by Real Clear Investigations as the CIA's Eric Ciaramella, was a diversion from allowing the American people to understand who was the actual instigator of the failed effort to oust President Donald Trump from office.
Rather than being a witness who independently supported the claims of the whistleblower, the National Security Council's Lt. Col Alex Vindman was the driving force behind the entire operation, according to the book's interviews with key figures in the impeachment probe and other evidence. The whistleblower's information came directly from Vindman, investigators determined......
The name Benedict Arnold comes to mind.
Meadows with the tease.
Washington ExaminerQuote:
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said he has seen "additional" documents that are pertinent to U.S. Attorney John Durham's criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation.
Meadows, a former congressional investigator, told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday that he does not have an update on Durham's work but noted that these records he has viewed reflect poorly on top FBI officials who were involved in the origins of the operation looking into ties between President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.
"Additional documents that I've been able to review say that a number of the players, the Peter Strzoks, the Andy McCabes, the James Comeys, and even others in the administration previously are in real trouble because of their willingness to participate in an unlawful act and I use the word unlawful at best, it broke all kinds of protocols and at worst people should go to jail as I mentioned previously," Meadows said.
Should go and will go seem to be miles apart, at the moment. Staying optimistic, for now.

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok, ousted from his position after the discovery of text messages containing anti-Trump comments, admitted a dossier on collusion between the president's campaign and Russia during the 2016 election contained information that led officials on a "wild goose chase."
Strzok told The Atlantic magazine that the dossier, written by former British spy Christopher Steele one of the agency's key informants in the Russia probe "was very typical of information that the FBI often receives."
"It comes from several sources, including some suspect sources. Some of it is bull----, and some of it is rumor, and some of it is disinformation," Strzok said. "From our perspective, some of it was a distraction."
The dossier was later discredited, but not before it was used to obtain a surveillance warrant on former Trump aide Carter Page, in which FBI officials asserted that Page was an "agent" of Russia.
"It didn't talk about George Papadopoulos, or much about Paul Manafort or Michael Flynn, or all the things going on in the social media environment, and these were the things we were focused on," Strzok said. "There was a lot about Carter Page, who in the end made up, I think, seven pages of Mueller's whole report. Carter Page was a tiny little slice of this whole huge host of activity."

Strzok lamented that the shortcomings of the dossier were used "to try and cast aspersions against the entirety of the FBI's massive investigation."
"These efforts have been very disingenuous, very distorting and very successful," he said.
Strzok says he believes Trump is "compromised" and "unable to put the interests of our nation first, that he acts from hidden motives, because there is leverage over him, held specifically by the Russians but potentially others as well."
"For example, when he is on the campaign trail saying, 'I have no financial relationships with Russia,' while at the very same time, his lawyer Michael Cohen is in Moscow negotiating a deal for a Trump Tower, there are people who know that. Vladimir Putin knows that. As it happened, the FBI knew it. But nobody in the American public knew it. So the moment that he says it, everybody who knows about that lie has leverage over him," Strzok explained.
I hate this smarmy guy.
Yet he was the subject of the FISA warrant with 3 renewals.Quote:

And Strzok was the driving force behind the FISA warrants but Page was just "a tiny slice." That's an admission that Page was just the conduit for the spying. They knew all along he wasn't an agent for a foreign nation.VegasAg86 said:Yet he was the subject of the FISA warrant with 3 renewals.Quote:

By all means, keep opening that yap of yours Pete the Cheat. Keep incriminating yourself.
Well, it's "after Labor Day" so hopefully we'll have some action soon.
Yeah..sure...here is hoping.

WTF does it matter if Trump had Cohen in Moscow discussing a new project before the election? Unlike Clinton who lost and now serves no purpose to any human being on the planet & which was confirmed by The Clinton Foundation annual contributions dropping to a 15-year low after the election.
If Trump lost, he would go right back to running his business and having to find new opportunities. The type of massive projects Trump Org. usually would undertake would take years and years before they are approved.
The bigger story that everyone is glossing over is the Clinton Foundation plunge in revenue post election. That reeeeeeeeeeks of obvious political influence and corruption.

Isn't Hillary due in court today?

The real lie here? There was never a true Woods Procedure file to start with. That's my take. Carter Page's original FISA application was completely out of the normal chain of command and process. It was handled by a very small cadre of fellow travelers, cutting other people out of the process. People like Trisha Anderson received her portion with the signatures already done. In her normal capacity, she would review and then raise it to the higher levels for their signatures. If they were already signed and approved, there was little for her to do.
(FTR: Not defending Trisha here. She should have vocally raised the issue and sounded the alarm instead of acquiescing to her bosses silently.)
Yes you did say not long ago that there wasn't a original Woods file.
What do your spidey senses tell you concerning the original 302 in regards to General Flynn?
That whatever Strzok and Pientka used to brief Sally Yates the evening of the Flynn interview never made it into the Sentinel system.Quote:

But Team Mueller's interview of Strzok shortly before he left did. I'd wager Weissmann was in that one too. Falsifying evidence again just like with Clinesmith and right about in the same time frame.

From the article:
- "participate in an unlawful act"
- "It's not backed up by the facts. It's not backed up by documents that I've seen. And ultimately, his house of cards will come falling down."

Interesting insight provided by Gaeta ...
RCI Link: Supposedly Reliable Steele Acted 'Crazy,' His FBI Handler Says: 'People's Ears Were Bleeding.'
RCI Link: Supposedly Reliable Steele Acted 'Crazy,' His FBI Handler Says: 'People's Ears Were Bleeding.'
Quote:
Here's how Gaeta recounted that conversation to the Senate: "Listen, is it about the money?" Gaeta asked Steele. "Because we have the money now. Is it about the money?" The FBI had promised, but had yet to deliver to Steele, $15,000 for one meeting with Crossfire Hurricane agents. The bureau had further promised Steele he would be paid "significantly" for his Trump-Russia research.
Gaeta assumed at first a delay in payment had made Steele go rogue.
"Yes, I'm owed the money, but that's secondary," Steele told Gaeta. "I'm very upset about - we're very upset - about the actions of your agency." By the "we" in "we're very upset" one can reasonably infer that Steele was speaking about himself and his client, Fusion GPS head Glenn Simpson (whose client, not counting cutouts, was Hillary Clinton's campaign).
The handling agent was shocked: "I had no idea what he was talking about." Before Gaeta could inquire further, Steele started railing about ''your Director" and his "reopening of the investigation." This was an apparent reference to former FBI Director James Comey's decision to reopen the probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server after 340,000 copies of State Department emails between Clinton and her close personal aide, Huma Abedin, were discovered on a laptop used by Abedin and her husband, Anthony Weiner. He was a disgraced congressman under investigation by the bureau's New York office for sending sexually explicit messages and photos to an underage girl.
At which point it all became clear to the handling agent: "I'm now understanding that he did this because he was upset that the Director's reopening of the investigation was going to negatively affect the election for Hillary Clinton."
The handling agent described his reaction to Steele's behavior as "surprise and disbelief." Gaeta told the Senate that Steele's actions and attitude weren't just "crazy source-related stuff," but "one of the craziest" the veteran agent had seen in two decades of handling sources. The words are significant: Steele's behavior with the FBI has been characterized as a sort of professional disagreement, uncomfortable perhaps but not unreasonable. Gaeta's blunt assessment casts things in a much harsher light and undercuts subsequent efforts by the FBI's top officials to rehabilitate Steele in order to justify using his "reporting."
NSA has it all.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. But even if they did, getting that info for a criminal investigation is problematical.redsquirrelAG said:

That is unless you have someone like Clinesmith telling Durham what he remembers about how all of those phones came to be wiped and why. He'd also have to have some memories of of the content of some of those texts, emails, etc.
"Wiped it? You mean like with a cloth?"
America, you have 2 options here:
1) These ass holes are lying about the phones (and everything else)
or
2) These ass holes are too incompetent to remember a password, and are therefore too incompetent to run an investigation into political collusion
1) These ass holes are lying about the phones (and everything else)

All of this is 'breaking' now because it's too late for any of it to reach the American voter (or MSM headlines in peak election season). It will be ignored, and forgotten, then even if Durham does indict/prosecute anyone the intent is to pardon those mid-level folks. To the extent anything at all comes of it; those players will be far removed from the game by December ('what difference, at this point, does it make?').Secolobo said:
Trump seeking to avoid panicking the public in Feb-April is a more tantalizing/prevalent narrative at this point.
They crucified Bush for not oh noooeesssing!!!! in front of a room of children.
The fact is - the MSM has shown that it doesn't matter what Trump does or does not do, says or does not say, they are going to take the opposite stance.
