This doesn't surprise me in the least.

I remember how shocked I was that a tiny part of the DOD was involved in the massive Russiagate fiasco. I've forgotten a lot of it, but by that time, I'd come to the conclusion that the DOD had joined forces with the State Department, DOJ/FBI, HSA, and the CIA as completely corrupt agencies, now joined by the USSS.

I know this has been asked, at least once, in the last 8 years, but since the POTUS can see, or read, any classified information, how can any agency withhold information from him/her if he request/demands to see it?

That applies to any president, but especially Trump!

You've likely listened to this, but have always had a passion for Watergate. If you haven't listened (and I know this is a sidebar for this thread), you'll thoroughly enjoy Shepherd's stories.

Geoff Shepherd's interview by Tucker was excellent insight into Watergate. It was, as Len Colodny titled his book, a Silent Coup. I also recommend the nine part podcast series on Richard Nixon from Red Pilled America, The Fighter.

The only serious difference in opinion between Shepherd and the RPA version is on Liddy's role in the second break-in. Shepherd is adamant that Liddy insisted on going back to fix the bug that wasn't working because of his ego. Colodny (and later Liddy) insisted that it was not about spying on the DNC chairman but John Dean's need to get the folder containing the names of the CIA prostitutes and their clients.

Hawg, you should find this interesting. I'd set it up to reveal the whole article, but it may not when clicked on. It's pretty easy to reveal, but y'all just needed to know.

Naturally, it involves the bent and crooked Raffensberger in GA. Enjoy.

No, this is not from 2018, but rather, just yesterday:
Quote:

Andrew McCabe, the former FBI Deputy Director who Donald Trump fired in 2018, said on a podcast that the former president was a "de Facto Russian asset."

When Sir Richard Dearlove, a former head of MI6, the British intelligence service, and co-host of the "One Decision" podcast, asked him if he thought Trump was a Russian asset, McCabe responded, I do, I do."

Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe in 2018 on the recommendation of the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for making "an unauthorized disclosure to the news media" and testimony that "lacked candor" in the FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation.

McCabe continued, "I don't know that I would characterize it as [an] active, recruited, knowing asset in the way that people in the intelligence community think of that term. But I do think that Donald Trump has given us many reasons to question his approach to the Russia problem in the United States, and I think his approach to interacting with Vladimir Putin, be it phone calls, face-to-face meetings, the things that he has said in public about Putin, all raise significant questions."

In other words, Trump was not a "Russian asset," but we can call him that because he "gave us many reasons" to question his policy toward Russia. We disagree with him on policy, so we can smear him as a traitor.

Trump is a public figure and under any reasonable NYT v. Sullivan standard I doubt it, as he tried to couch it as his opinion/de facto/not in a 'traditional' IC definition etc.

The thing is, McCabe's not worth swatting down at from Trump's position, in any case. He's just trying to eke out some income as a left wing bomb thrower from the cheap seats now. It was much more dangerous when he was directing crossfire hurricane etc.

I find myself wondering how they're going to do it this time. Then I remember they suffered few, to no, legal issues in '20, so they may just do what they did last time.

I know the Republicans have been able to close the gap on both sides, meaning we've been able to address some of the cheating they did in the important states, but also address the harvesting the Dems are so good at.

I'm just hoping it's enough. The whole actions with impunity thing is still scary.

Is there any dispute now that the executive branch orchestrated with Trump's political opponents to have him removed from office?

Twice.

Is there any disputing that fact?

Also, is there a specific term for when an elected president is sabotaged from within?

Couldn't find a thread on this, so I'll drop it here.

Michael Cohen evidently sued Trump, case made it to SCOTUS and they won't take it up.


Quote:

The court's decision to turn away Cohen's appeal leaves intact a lower court ruling that tossed out the lawsuit based on a 2022 Supreme Court decision that limited citizens' ability to seek monetary damages from federal officials over constitutional violations.

Comey/FBI used honeypots on Trump campaign as part of Russiagate lies/entrapment/treason:


Quote:

The House Judiciary Committee is examining a new whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.
An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.

The whistleblower disclosure said that two female FBI undercover agents successfully infiltrated Mr. Trump's 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as "honey pots" while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.

According to the disclosure, which The Washington Times reviewed, the investigation differed from the later Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence operation targeting Russian collusion. It said the early off-the-books probe was a criminal investigation targeting Mr. Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign staff.

The agent "personally knew" that Mr. Comey ordered an FBI investigation against Mr. Trump and that Mr. Comey "personally directed it," according to the disclosure.

The off-the-books investigation did not appear to target a specific crime but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find something incriminating about Mr. Trump.
The Times reached out to the FBI and James Comey for comment.
Unbelievable how corrupt the FBI is/was. J Edgar Hoover had nothing on Jim Comey.

Not really a criticism of the last refuge but they have a limited audience, and getting this word out there now (even if so does the Washington Times) more broadly into the public conscience heading into Election Day is great.

Mollie is not having it.

A great new article from Hemingway because of Jake Tapper's attempts at rewriting history(recent interview with JD vance where he "fact checks" JD Vance with the lie).

She argues here that the Tapper lie gives her permission to lift her practice of not putting any off air conversations/actions by the media on the record.

Her anger at Tapper gives us a nice new rehashing of the entire Russian Hoax starting with her new piece of information what off air action that Tapper did that tipped her off that it was a hoax and Tapper was in on it.

Jake Tapper Is Lying About CNN's Key Role In The Russia Collusion Hoax
nortex97
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Clapper and CNN are enemies of the state and should be treated as such:

Quote:

You will never guess the news hook CNN used to publish their story about the dossier. OK, you did guess and yes, it was that Comey had briefed Trump about the dossier!
The leak of the briefing of Trump was used to legitimize a ridiculous dossier full of allegations the FBI knew to be false and that multiple news organizations had previously refused to report on for lack of substantiation, and it created a cloud of suspicion over Trump's incoming administration by insinuating he was being blackmailed by Russia. BuzzFeed, using the CNN story as justification, published the full dossier hours later. It was all very convenient.
Incidentally, Jake Tapper was livid with Ben Smith, the editor of BuzzFeed, for publishing the actual dossier after Jake's story ran. He said "collegiality wise it was you stepping on my dk."
"I think your move makes the story less serious and credible," he said, adding, "I think you damaged its impact."
He was right. Tapper had carefully written the story with his colleagues to make it seem like the Clinton-funded dossier was non-partisan and extremely serious. When Smith published what it actually was, everyone outside of DC and New York could see it was hilariously juvenile. It was so stupid that you had to be an idiot to believe it.
On that note, Vance said CNN viewers believed the Russia collusion hoax, which Tapper denied. In fact, a 2018 poll showed that a shocking 67 percent of Democrats believed that Russia had tampered with vote totals in the 2016 election. Even in 2020, years after it was debunked by real reporters, a majority of Americans believed Tapper's daily drumbeat of disinformation about Russia colluding with Trump. (Tapper once mocked the majority of Republicans who believed, accurately, that the Obama administration had spied on the Trump campaign.)
Quote:

In February 2017, CNN reported another blockbuster, that was also false, "US investigators corroborate some aspects of the Russia dossier." Jake Tapper kept saying that the dossier had been corroborated for years, until the story became an embarrassment.
Also in February 2017, my husband, then a Senior Writer at The Weekly Standard, wrote a media criticism column for that magazine on the problems surrounding the credulous use of anonymous sources to report on the alleged Trump-Russia scandal. "It's now widely believed that CNN jumped the gun and failed to confirm key details [of the dossier] because they were too trusting of the high-ranking Obama intelligence officials who vouched for the story," he wrote. "Naturally, those officials remain anonymous." This observation caused Tapper to fly off the handle and send a angry email to the editors of the Weekly Standard, which was CC'd to the other three authors of CNN's dubious report on the dossier.
In June 2017, they were forced to pull one of their Russia-Trump conspiracy stories based on a single anonymous source the stories were always sourced to anonymous intelligence officials who connected Anthony Scaramucci to a Russian investment fund managed by a Kremlin-controlled bank. At least in that case three CNN journalists were fired for their shoddy work.
Also in June 2017, Jake Tapper co-authored a story claiming James Comey would dispute Donald Trump's claim that Comey had told him three times he was not under investigation. Here's how Tapper's story began:
In his much-anticipated congressional testimony on Thursday, fired FBI Director James Comey will dispute President Donald Trump's blanket claim that he was told he was not under investigation multiple times, according to sources familiar with Comey's thinking.
Rather, one source said that Comey is expected to tell senators that he never assured Trump he was not under investigation, because such assurances would have been improper. Another source hinted that the President may have misunderstood the exact meaning of Comey's words, especially regarding the FBI's ongoing counterintelligence investigation.
The story got major play on CNN, with Comey's alleged disputation being treated as credible and Trump's claim treated as non-credible.
