I understand why there is a statute of limitations, but if the investigators hid the evidence there have to be consequences

Predator drones do not respect statute of limitations.

But seriously, if SoL has run out, then take it to court. The People's Court.

Fun fact, the legal consultant for the original People's Court was none other than Harvey Levin of TMZ fame.

I see a problem but that's because I am me. I knew back in 2017 when the Comey Memos were published after his firing that he leaked them to his professor friend, Richman no secret there

Exclusive: I have obtained a June 2017 memorandum documenting a phone call with Columbia Professor Daniel Richman and @ChuckGrassley investigative staff.

Investigators wanted a status update on a bi-partisan request for Richman to provide copies of the so-called "Comey memos" that documented his conversations with President Trump.

According to the records, five days earlier, on June 8, 2017 @Comey testified that "he asked Professor Richman to disclose the content of at least one of those memoranda to the press…"

During the phone call, Richman seems dismissive of senate investigators.

"Professor Richman also stated something to the effect, of, 'You do things by your rules' and 'I do things by my rules.'"

"We are so far out of the realm of normality."

"Prof. Richman stated Comey provided him a 'packet' of documents as his lawyer, and stated, 'And yes, I'm being vague on purpose."

"There is a substantial extent to which I would raise attorney-client issues."

"Prof. Richman also stated that he wanted to remark, as a private citizen, and not as 'Jim's' lawyer' or a witness, that 'Your Committee. Man. If you guys want to be respected you need to do things differently."

Asked what he meant, "Prof. Richman stated, 'All this partisan back and forth."

Asked for examples so that they might be addressed, "Prof. Richman responded that he was doing his 'morning exercises' and he could not think of specifics at the moment."

Let's just say when asked under oath if Crowdstrike stood behind their report to the FBI, the CEO waffled. He wouldn't even say if they had completed their investigation.

Hey! Look at that! Another dementia riddled guy the Democrats use to be their useful idiot.

Weird how that keeps happening….. almost like it's part of a long tenured conspiracy to thwart the democratic process and allow unelected tyrants to run a shadow government via auto-pen and media cover.

Mueller is even more braindead than Biden, and that is saying a lot.

His appearance at a hearing would have only been slightly more productive than having Jimmy Carter appear.

No surprise there for me. Damn! Jeff Sessions was the worst possible AG pick by Trump. The moment Sessions recused himself, Trump should have fired him.

I really hope they get some good charges to stick on Eric Michael Schmidt, aka Mr. Nicole Wallace.
Quote:

In retrospect, nearly all of it was false. Inspector General reports, the Durham probe, and congressional investigations have since revealed that Trump never demanded a loyalty oath and never ordered Comey to drop the Flynn matter. What the record shows instead is an FBI hierarchy that had targeted Flynn, that misused FISA warrants, and that relied on Clinton campaign-funded opposition research. Schmidt, far from digging independently, functioned as Comey's conduit. He was the journalist equivalent of what Lenin once called a "useful idiot."

Wallace's bias against Trump hardened in this crucible. Night after night, Schmidt appeared on her show, repeating leaks that he himself had not fully vetted. He was amplifying Comey's narrative, and Wallace was amplifying Schmidt. It was the perfect disinformation loop: FBI officials leaked to Richman, Richman fed Schmidt, Schmidt fed Wallace, and Wallace's MSNBC megaphone delivered the "news" to millions of viewers. Each step laundered the origin of the information until what began as Comey's personal vendetta against Trump appeared as established fact. For Wallace, her deepening personal relationship with Schmidt reinforced her professional conviction: Trump was dangerous, because the man she would soon marry had built his Pulitzer on portraying him that way.

Schmidt's 2020 book, Donald Trump v. The United States, is the codification of this worldview. He depicts FBI and DOJ officials as reluctant guardians of democracy holding the line against a reckless president. Trump is cast as the villain, the institutions as heroes. But the later revelations of corruption inside those very institutions reveal the book as stenography for the FBI, not journalism. The man who would become Wallace's husband had memorialized, and thereby legitimized, the FBI's perspective. No wonder Wallace treats Trump with such personal vitriol. To admit error now would be to admit that her husband's Pulitzer was the product of manipulation.

This dynamic is not unique to Wallace and Schmidt. Washington is thick with examples of reporters married to political operatives, blurring the line between journalism and power. Christiane Amanpour, CNN's chief international correspondent, was married to James Rubin, who headed the State Department's Global Engagement Center and frequently appeared on her program. Ian Cameron, ABC News producer for This Week, was married to Susan Rice, national security advisor and UN ambassador, a frequent guest on his show. Virginia Moseley, a CNN executive editor, is married to Tom Nides, former Deputy Secretary of State and later vice chairman at Blackstone, also a regular on CNN. Bianna Golodryga, CNN anchor, is married to Peter Orszag, Obama's OMB director. Todd Purdum of Vanity Fair married Dee Dee Myers, Clinton's press secretary and later an advisor to Gavin Newsom. Chuck Todd of Meet the Press is married to Democrat strategist Kristian Denny Todd, who advised Bernie Sanders and DC mayor Muriel Bowser. Claire Shipman of ABC married Jay Carney, Obama's press secretary. Andrea Mitchell of NBC is married to Alan Greenspan, former Fed chair. Ronald Brownstein of CNN is married to Eileen McMenamin, John McCain's former communications director.

There is a shadowy agency n the Pentagon called Office of Net Assessment (IIRC) that had Halper on the payroll. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were paid to him, if memory serves.

Hegseth is dismantling it.

There are several secret or opaque departments within departments.

Is this the same one that ran the separate WH network? The one where Biden had aliases?

The state was not only deep but purposely hidden within the shadows.

My post from back in February. I ran across pci.gov after the M-A-L raid. Very little information out there about the Presidential Center for Information because the Biden email aliases resolved to @pci.gov.

Bizarre, maybe coincidental. Just seems like under Obama many duplicative functions were created. Why...?

Some may remember the old email aliases Joe Biden used to comm with Hunter and friends before Trump 1.0.

I suspect many have forgotten about this but the email aliases used a @pci.gov email which I believe stood for Presidential Center for Information along with pitc.gov which is Executive Committee for Presidential Information Technology.

https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/03/19/presidential-memorandum-establishing-director-white-house-information-te

I looked at this back in the thick of the Mar-a-Lago raid and subsequent f-nannery about classified docs. Essentially a little known, not discussed White House server for emails and information sharing that I believe went as far as using completely separate networks than standard WH comms - meaning control away form FOIA and other prying eyes.

Trump may be using some of this as about a week or so after election the "whois" information for pci.gov seems to have been changed to "redacted for privacy reasons".

Correct. $411k in 2016-2017.

ONA reports directly to the SecDef. From 2007-2017, ONA awarded $11 million in sole-source (i.e. not competed) contracts to Long Term Strategy Group which is a knowledge based services consultancy. That covers the time from when Bob Gates, Leon Panetta, Chuck Hegel, and Ash Carter held the job.

That's really strange because everything that ONA is co concerned with is classified but LTSG did not have a DD 254 Contract Security Classification Specification i.e. the ability to access classified material and to manage employees with security clearances. It's even stranger because LTSG was founded by Chelsea Clinton's best friend, Jacqueline Newmyer Deal, in 2006 when she was 25 years old, shortly after receiving her Master from Oxford that followed a Summa Cum Laude bachelor's degree from Harvard.

Adam Lovinger was a whistleblower at the Office of Net Assessment during first Trump administration and exposed the inappropriate use of Stefan Halper's Cambridge Security Initiative. He was hand pickes by Michael Flynn to join the NSC and help expose and dismantle the deep state that was advancing the agenda of America's enemies. Of course when Flynn was forced to resign, Lovinger was assailed from all sides in the press.

Lovinger worked at ONA for 12 years and witnessed the subversion of ONA to serve the political elites. He wrote a book about ONA last year titled The Insider Threat.

https://www.youtube.com/live/HwPPtkucbm4?si=HZNrgDJhgnJqpQ3q

11:49. Lovinger describes how at the end of the Obama administration, the director of the Office of Net Assessment Andrew Marshall (who was the director since its founding in 1973) was removed and replaced with James H. Baker in 2015

13:28 James Baker ad Director ONA "adopts America's enemies' policies as America's policies," e.g. "Losing Taiwan to China is not an insult to US national interest."

16:27. When the American public rejected Obama's public policy of American diminishing on the world stage (in the name of "equity," Obama turned inward to have the Deep State national security infrastructure implement diminishing Anerican power to cut America down to size.

17:04 James Baker at ONA minimized the threats to American national security to allow expansion is power to seize control e.g. in 2017 Baker wrote that "China's role in the worldis entirely regional," "Iran may safely possess a nuclear weapon." >>This is during Trump 45 when no serious effort was made to remove and replace deep state bad actors like Baker

18:52 The ONA is taking talking points from America's enemies e.g. worked directly with the head of Russian foreign intelligence and Stefan Halper to source the material that was fed to Christopher Steele for inclusion in the dossier.

20:12 Stefan Halper founded the Cambridge Security Initiative that was closed down amidst allegations by MI6 that it was operating as a spy ring for the Russia FSB. The Cambridge Security Initiative was a "school" to which FBI and CIA agents were sent to be educated to view the world and particularly foreign intelligence operations through the lens of a diminished US role on the world stage and equity rather than US dominance and peimacy i.e. our IC did not exist to "win" at espionage but to be a peer.

20:52 Stefan Halper and Bill Clinton were roommates at Oxford when both were Rhodes Scholars (though neither actually graduated from the peogram) and Halper functioned as a tool of the Clinton political machine for decades.

22:11. Lovinger dispels the misconception that the Russia Hoax was hatched and run mostly by the FBI. In fact, it was the institutional infrastructure within the DoD under James Baker at the ONA the created the fabricated evidence that was used by Steele to feed the Clinton campaign's Fusion GPS operation and the FBI treated all of the fabricated evidence with credulity because it was endorsed by DoD sources (ONA contractor, Stefan Halper).

22:49 Stefan Halper had six contracts from ONA from 2010-2016 which sounds like it was just a budget line that was inserted while Panetta was SecDef and renewed annually every year till Trump took office. Stefan Halper was including as a source for his analyses for the ONA the "former" head of Russian FSB(!!!). This allowed Russian intelligence to insert disinformation into ONA.

23:50 DoJ IG report on Russiagate deyermined that the claims and witnesses cited in the Steele Dossier were ultimately traced to Stefan Halper and his Russian FSB contacts.

24:37. It was important for Hillary Clinton that the claims of the Steele Dossier be traceable to DoD because it normalized the use of Russian intelligence sources in DoD estimates and lended credibility to the Steele Dossier.

25:11 It was Deputy SecDef Bob Work, a friend of Hillary Clinton, who allowed ONA to let Stefan Halper create fictitious analyses based on Russian FSB sources.

25:30 Interesting historical footnote that the information warfare technique of Deflection, accusing your adversary of doing what you are actually doing, is often attributed to the Soviets but was first pioneered by Ed Bernays while working for the Woodrow Wilson administration. Bernays is regarded as the "father of public relations" and also propaganda techniques. He is Austrian and was coincidentally (or not) the nephew of Sigmund Freud. Josef Goebbels cited Ed Bernays as his inspiration.

29:00 ONA has only one statutory responsibility which is to produce annually a net assessment of US power relative to its adversaries. During the 8 years of the Obama administration, ONA did not produce any net assessments because it would have clearly and specifically revealed, to Congress, the intentional incremental diminishment of US power relative to its adversaries. **There were no net assessments conducted to support any of the Obama administration's decisions WRT the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq that would have predicted ISIS filling the power vacuum or any assessments that would have supported GEN McChrystal's force requests to defeat the Taliban.** Rather that produce Net assessments of national power, ONA produced propaganda narratives to support deep state policy objectives.

30:40 The politicization to support the Obama administration's policy of "managed decline" that was happening under SecDef Ash Carter in the DoD at ONA was also happening in parallel Under SecState Hillary Clinton and John Kerr6 at the State Department and under Sec Homeland Security Jeh Johnson i.e. the replacement of honest threat assessments with propaganda narratives.

32:10 In 2024 three House Committee's investigated the Biden family businesses and concluded that they had received millions of dollars from CCP.

34:50 Talks about "Qatar campuses" as a tool for insinuating America's enemies into academia and the national security establishment. Georgetown Masters' programs for Pentagon officers is a springboard to promotions and inducting these officers into the globalist mindset.

37:30 David Ignatius of the Washington Post is given as an example of foreign enemies (the deep staye) planting someone in media that is used to bring false narratives to public focus e.g. leaking the classified Flynn-Lavrov phone call and circular sourcing to create an echo chamber in the press.

40:00 A friend of Lovinger with some status and credibility told a reporter who had printed a smear article against Lovinger after he blew the whistle on ONA that he didn't believe the leaked information from unnamed sources at the Pentagon making allegations against Lovinger was accurate. The reporter responded that he could not afford to print the truth because he depended upon the access to those sources at the Pentagon.

Charles Grassley wrote to Pete Hegseth earlier this year requesting all of the documents relating to ONA contracts and assessments. Grassley had been stonewalled by SecDef Austin because he wanted reports from ONA that showed it was using taxpayer funding to contract for analyses based on Critical Race Theory.

One of those reports was a 2009 report written by Long Term Strategy Group (Chelsea Clinton's BFF Jacqueline Newmyer's company) titled, On the Nature of Americans as a Warlike People.

Quote:

For example, in my June 18, 2020, letter, I noted a paper entitled, "On the Nature of Americans as a Warlike People: Workshop Report," which was authored by the Long Term Strategy Group (LTSG).[9] The workshop paper highlighted the "level of American belligerency . . . [which is] the result of the persistence of Scotch-Irish culture in America, with its emphasis on violent responses to challenge[.]"[10] It further stated that "[t]he role of Scotch-Irish culture must also be understood as having been reinforced by slaveholding, and American Protestant religious beliefs," and that the Scotch-Irish culture was "shaped by endemic warfare that placed high value on violent and immediate personal responses to challenges and high loyalty to clan and kin."[11] The paper continued by stating that the Scotch-Irish culture placed value "on violent immediate responses to challenges [which] shaped [their] views, and thus of the United States as a whole, toward war."[12]


SecDef Hegseth shut down ONA shortly after he was confirmed.
