He's not commented on this one yet that I've seen, but certainly seems to have some thoughts about Russiagate:

Did Trump force them to release the full Durham report this weekend? I thought it came out a couple years ago but maybe this is just the full text vs conclusions?

Charles Dolan appears to be the originator of the 'Trump peed on prostitutes in Moscow' lie.

**** is about to get real.

LFG. As he says, this is an old story now, but no one was prosecuted, and the truth, while we know about most of it, led to zero consequences for the traitors...to date.

You should NOT be able, as a member of Congress, lie to the American people about an ongoing, secret investigation and use the "speech & debate" clause as a defense.

Me thinks they will attempt to prosecute Schiff and ultimately SCOTUS provides some clarification.

Schiff should swing from a gallows for what he attempted during his Schiff SCIF trial behind closed doors.

It's not just time for him to go to jail, it's time for him to be held accountable, ultimately accountable (through the judicial process - to be clear I am not condoning vigilante violence… I mean I am not a Democrat God forbid).

Part of what happened is, Schiff hired staffers (Misko and Grace) from the NSC, essentially to get dirt and classified data about Trump/Russia.

Now, he was pardoned by poops-his-pants (Hunter's proud father) for the J6 lies, but I don't think that will protect him from Russiagate, and working with literal foreign agents to undermine the US government. APL of course submitted legislation to fine him for half the cost of the fake Russiagate investigation ($32 million).

He, and his office, have long been known as the source of leaks of classified data about Russia to hurt political rivals, from Trump to Bernie. There is a wide range of treasonous/seditious acts Schiff could be investigated, indicted, and prosecuted for, imho.

I will have to check on that wording again but I think you are correct that Schiff's pardon was in connection with being on the Jan 6th Committee.

OTOH, the Russia gate stuff Schiff was actively involved in have statute of limitations issues, in my view.

Mishandling classified information is 5 years, but treason/sedition don't have a statute of limitations. 'Willful misconduct' under the espionage act is what could really trip him up, imho.

I suspect he is so egotistical/vain he has retained many classified records/documents, as well, and his crimes could be tolled under 793(e) of the act by these actions. This is what requires the guilty party to have 'willfully and unlawfully retained classified information in unauthorized places (and transmitted it to unauthorized people).' That's basically his bread and butter.

Old a mock trial in front of the American people. Prime time hearings and let him present whatever defense he wants.

Better than the rigamarole of an actual trial anyways with appeals and sidebars and objections.

Hell, do the same for the Biden crime family.

Public shaming and discreditation and permanent reputation destruction would be satisfactory to me.

Fair point. I wouldn't hold my breath on treason or sedition charges. Perhaps espionage but not a charge carrying a potential death penalty.

I REALLY don't see the majority of people having an appetite for sedition/treason charges. I would need to see more to really know if I do or not. Seems to be really hard to try and get a conviction. Not to mention it would be in DC, and we all know how that would go.


Quote:

Treason charges are rare in the United States. Since the founding of the country, only 13 of the 40 treason cases resulted in a conviction. Only three people have been executed for treason.

Yes, and Schiff has prosecuted and obtained a conviction against an FBI agent for espionage, which many I think are unaware of. For Russia. He's been neck deep in Russia/Chinese spies his entire career, predating his time in congress. In some ways this is akin to a coach who adopts a given offense/defensive system in football and then sticks with it for their career. For Schiff, it's been haranguing on about his political foes and Russia.

He's one of those types in DC who is not confident he is the smartest guy in the room, but is certain of it. If Bongino/Patel really do dig into Russiagate, I don't think Treason/Sedition charges are off the table at all. Frankly, I think such charges are warranted at least as much as with the Oppenheimers etc, but it will require some public documentation, yes. It's also not the case that it would necessarily have to be tried in DC. Tack on a conspiracy and acts in California etc. and it could be charged almost anywhere. These folks were based in DC but went all over.

To be fair the last US citizen indicted for treason in the US was drone-struck by Obama in Pakistan.

Do Schiff have any foreign trips scheduled?

If Obama can drone-strike American citizens and Biden can threaten to use F-15s on American citizens, then I think Schiff is fair game.

There was a thread from last week asking for whistleblowers. Whats great here is that Bongino has openly talked about having great sources. Now he's empowered to follow the bread crumbs.

We knew they ran agents at the campaign instead of following protocol and doing a defensive briefing. Did we know they were honey pots?

Edit: NVM. The honeypots were sent in 2015. Comey should be in prison.

The appropriate punishment for Comey is the death penalty. He clearly committed treason.

Personally, I will not be satisfied until he is hanged.

Quote:

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

The investigation did not appear to target a specific crime but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find anything incriminating that could be used against Mr. Trump.

The whistleblower said the undercover operation was obscured from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, who investigated misconduct in the bureau's probe of the Trump campaign.

"The case had no predicated foundation, so Comey personally directed the investigation without creating an official case file in Sentinel or any other FBI system," according to the whistleblower's disclosure.
And at least two of these people never even left the intelligence community:
Quote:

Oh, my, that sounds like it opens up a whole lot of questions.
According to the Times, one media outlet had a picture of one of the women, but then the FBI told them it was an FBI informant who would be killed if they published the picture. That's pretty vile and manipulative, if true. The operation was shut down after this.

Now, according to the report, one of the people is at the CIA (yikes) and the other got a promotion is now a "high-level FBI executive in a major field office."

The whistleblower also revealed that FBI employees were warned against talking about this operation with anyone, which the whistleblower took as a threat.

It sounds like finally, we're going to start seeing some accountability. It can't be too hard to find the two people, given the information that they have on their present positions. They likely have a lot of information to offer on the matter. If it is true that there was no predicate for launching the operation, that's potentially problematic, particularly when it involves a presidential campaign.
The other names I'd like to see testify/document Joe Pientka who was the male lovebird's partner at the outset and involved, and whose 302 (though he was the one doing the note taking supposedly) was never (fully) disclosed. He was sent to San Francisco and then disappeared.
Quote:

PS. It isn't just Pientka:
Quote:

FBI Director Christopher Wray has named David W. Archey as special agent in charge of the Richmond Field Office. Mr. Archey most recently served as a deputy assistant director in the Counterintelligence Division at FBI Headquarters and was assigned as the FBI senior lead at the Special Counsel's Office. (link)

There are people still at the FBI/CIA who can be forced to disclose this sordid history finally, with folks like Kash/Bongino asking the right questions at last.

And what prosecutor at DoJ was leading the leak investigation for 3.5 years into 70+ congress critters using a grand jury since mid-2017, appointed by Rosenstein? Never identified. It wasn't directed by Trump, and the targets weren't just democrats, of course. My suspicion remains that this goes back to 'The Hammer:"
Quote:

NSA/CIA contractor-turned whistleblower Dennis Montgomery: President Obama's (DNI) James Clapper and (CIA) director John Brennan oversaw a secret supercomputer system known as "THE HAMMER."

The tapes reveal that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court (FISA), Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, 156 other judges, members of Congress, and Donald J. Trump were all targeted by the HAMMER.
Who really ran it, how/why, and in what ways was it used to develop cases/compromising material on what people.

Finally, I am suspicious to this day that "Azra Turk" was one of the honeypots. She also disappeared. Did she serve this 'honeypot' role in any other related traps for Trump officials/associates?
