Hedge Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Deranged Rhino said: I think it was a group effort between the Obama machine, the Clinton machine, and where they overlap (Brennan/the USIC). There were two distinct phases of the operation, each one had a (slightly) different goal and were run by different people. Spring of 2016 through the Election: The audit of the 702 abuses inside the DOJ by NSA Chief Rogers was the starting gun. There was no Russia story in the media or in either campaign until after Rogers ordered this audit. The Russia story started immediately after the audit was announced (internally announced) and after a clandestine Oval Office meeting with 44 and Mary Jacoby -- the wife of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. Within hours of that meeting, Fusion GPS is hired by the Clinton campaign to do oppo research on Trump, and Brennan begins to deploy undercover USIC assets into the Trump team's orbit (men like Halper, Mifsud -- a CLINTON FOUNDATION MEMBER -- and more) while forming a "Fusion team" between select FBI and CIA personnel (headed by Strzok and McCabe out of the FBI-CID) designed to investigate these "informants" and leak reports of their investigation to friendly media outlets. The goal in this stage was two fold: 1) explain away the 702 abuses by building a fake case against Trump which would justify the use of FISA warrants on the man himself and his team (and thus allow the fusion teams access to the 702 spigot Rogers had denied them in April of 2016), and 2) to perform what Pelosi called "the wrap up smear": get the IC to float an unsourced rumor to the press who writes an article on that information, then the same IC who was the source uses that article as "confirmation" to put into FISA and other warrant applications. Meanwhile, the media is kept in a cyclical loop, reporting on the same source's unconfirmed information -- yet solidifying it as "fact" with each and every additional story written on that topic. In the end, the target (Trump's campaign) is smeared by unproven implications which, over the course of multiple news cycles, moved from "unconfirmed" to "fact" without a single piece of evidence or new information -- just other news stories written about the leaked information. The Clinton machine and Obama machine weren't interested in making a case against Trump at this stage, that was irrelevant (because they knew there was no case to make since they were inventing the "facts" the media and investigators were digging into). They "never thought she'd lose" -- so this was purely political, with smears designed to give probable cause to the illegal 702 searches run under Obama's DOJ/FBI. This way, after the election, they could sweep it all under the rug with a compliant President Clinton in office to help them get away with it. Some have speculated (including me) that Clinton herself was going to use this as an excuse to bring charges against Trump had she won -- I think that's likely based on her nature. I don't think this was 44's motive, or Brennan's at that time. But then the unthinkable happened. Trump won, and suddenly every illegal move made during the spring by the fusion team, let alone the political actors inside the administration and Clinton campaign itself, were vulnerable to legal consequences. They had cut corner after corner in their investigation because they were more concerned with creating the illusion of legitimacy than being legit. After all, Clinton was "never going to lose", so no one would ever shine a light on the corner cutting they did. A new plan was needed now. That brings us to the second phase -- and this is where ownership really shifts from HRC to BHO: Post election through the Mueller investigation: Immediately after the election, the "leadership" of the operation shifted from Podesta and the Clinton machine (with Obama and his IC running shotgun) to 44 himself and Brennan. This was no longer about helping Hillary score political points. This was now about Obama protecting his legacy (and keeping his Lts out of the clink). This was a much larger operation than the one run during the election. The goal was not to win a race -- but to overthrow a duly elected president. And it was run fully with Obama's knowledge, approval, and oversight -- even if Brennan and Clapper were the point men. This phase kicked off with several moves designed to entrap Trump during the transition: * Comey's briefing on the dossier, Brennan/Clapper leaking the dossier to Jake Tapper of CNN (with an assist from No Name) * Brennan starts flooding Capital Hill with the Dossier in secret meetings with everyone from No Name to Reid to Paul Ryan * Buzzfeed publishes the dossier in full All leading to the January 5th meeting in the Oval Office with Obama and his team: best summarized here: https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/08/obama-biden-oval-office-meeting-on-january-5-was-key-to-entire-anti-trump-operation/ . Obama moved to set trap after trap for the incoming administration. He expelled Russian diplomats for something he knew they were innocent of -- just because it would force Flynn to address that move head on with his Russian counterparts. Obama warned Trump specifically about Flynn, not because he thought Flynn was guilty of anything (he knew at that time, as did the FBI, that Flynn was not guilty) but because he was trying to get Trump to hitch his wagon to Flynn knowing what was about to happen to the three star general. This was spun into Comey's memos being leaked, which lead to his firing, which lead to the justification to appoint Mueller as SCO. The SCO's intent was never to prove Russian collusion, the FBI (and Mueller's own team who was picked from the Crossfire Hurricane team and the CIA's fusion team) already knew that there was no Russian collusion because they had been on the front lines trying to create the illusion of just that for several months at this point. No, the point of Mueller's probe was to lay perjury traps for Team Trump (and Trump himself) and get them mired in an obstruction case. Obstruction of a crime that didn't happen, and was in fact created by the very people investigating him. ...And, the SCO was used to meddle in the 2018 midterms. Dragging its findings out well past the election, assuring that the DNC and Never Trump right could campaign on the "RUSSIA!" story without push back from Mueller. It was ALL THE WAY dirty. And 44 was right there calling the shots. This was the biggest scandal in US history. Seditious conspiracy, election interference, illegal surveillance of Americans and political opposition, and -- you could argue -- treason. People throughout history involved in such things have found themselves lined up and shot or hanged more often than not. That's how bad this was.

Now that almost all of them are public, and at least the ones I've read aren't heavily redacted, he should be able to show everyone that disagrees with him exactly where it is, right? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to read the “review”! thank you for putting that here and thank you DR for the summary. I’m looking forward to reading the review on Monday. question: if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound. In other words, can the media run enough cover to make sure this never gets any airtime and spin it to make the lemmings think this is just “fascism” from a Russian asset dictator? I honestly don’t have a lot of hope that people will be able to see past their efforts. I hope I’m wrong. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 There's a lot of truth here: The alien card has been held by TPTB for the longest time as the ultimate distraction card. But when they tried to use it in 2019/2020 -- it didn't even make a dent in the news cycle. That's good (for numerous reasons, the biggest is the fact this "disclosure push" is stemming from Podesta and some of the worst bad actors in our power structure). Keep the eye on the ball -- the biggest scandal in US history, plus the (likely) intentional over-hyping of a pandemic to keep people sheltered in place, push vote by mail (so elections can be stolen in the House, Senate and Oval). Those are what matter right now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I remember way back when Joe DiGenova called all these people "Dirty Cops". I thought he was out of his mind at first. But he is 1000% correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under staff and leadership review for over a year, these reforms will save government resources, enhance support to ODNI's Department of Defense partners and customers, strengthen the Intelligence Community's (IC) cyber posture, and improve mission management and outreach. Highlights of these changes include: A Sunset of ODNI's Directorate of National Security Partnerships • To reduce bureaucracy and more efficiently use taxpayer dollars while improving effectiveness, ODNI's Directorate of National Security Partnerships (NSP) will sunset and its national intelligence management and partnership functions will transfer to existing DNI organizations. • This change, which reunites all of ODNI's mission management functions in a single organization and folds ODNI's partnership organization into the strategic communications and information sharing groups, will move ODNI from four directorates to three, reducing manpower and management overhead. Establishing a DNI Advisor for Military Affairs • These reforms will transition the existing NSP flag officer position into a new role, the Director's Advisor for Military Affairs (DAMA). The DAMA will serve as the DNI's principal advisor on military affairs and as a liaison to the Department of Defense. • This position will unify ODNI efforts on behalf of the Department of Defense and better enable ODNI to meet the needs of its warfighting partners. Combining existing organizations into a single IC Cyber Executive • These reforms will combine four previously separate ODNI organizations focused on cyber into a single organization, the IC Cyber Executive. • This position will provide a single ODNI focal point for the cyber mission, which will strengthen the IC's cyber posture to better defend U.S. national security interests. ### Published in Press Releases 2020 Tagged under odni 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Would it be so bad if we ignored the low hanging fruit and instead of calling this Obamagate we had a little fun and called it ChoomGate?
