Update: Crime and Corruption in DC

Posted by Tina

Be informed…must see FOX video of Allan Dershowitz making the case for an alternative report by the Trump legal team to lend balance to the “one-sided” report by Mueller. Key point: “The Mueller probe has only heard one side of the story. Remember, grand juries don’t invite exculpatory witnesses to come, and they only hear one side of the story, and in an adversarial system, both sides of the story have to be heard.”

The Conservative Treehouse, “Disturbing – FISA Court States No Hearings Conducted Before Issuing Title-1 Warrant Allowing Surveillance Over Trump Campaign…” Disturbing indeed: “FISA Court Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer, outlined structural issues and admissions by the DOJ and FBI about violations of search queries within the NSA and FBI database. – The term “contractors” is opaque in the ruling, and there are hundreds of redactions protecting the names of the individuals and groups who participated in the unauthorized searches. – The “unauthorized access” was primarily driven by contractors who had access to the information database and were using it in 2015 and 2016. According to the report over 85% of searches conducted were “unauthorized” abuses of the system. DOJ-NSD head John Carlin resigned in 2016 immediately after informing the court. – Not a single congressional hearing has ever questioned the FISA-702(16)(17) search issues. Not a single question to a single witness, specifically Comey or Yates, was ever asked them about the DOJ-NSD and FBI abuse of the FISA database.”

PJ Media, “Bruce Ohr Kept Mueller’s ‘Pit Bull’ Andrew Weissmann ‘in the Loop’ on Dirty Dossier in 2016.” Point of interest: “Ohr also collaborated with former FBI agent Peter Strzok, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, former deputy director Andrew McCabe, at least one other DOJ official, and a current FBI agent who worked with Strzok on the Russia case. – Ironically, one of the sources said Weissmann was kept “in the loop” on the fraudulent dossier while he was head of the criminal fraud division. Mueller went on to assign him to his special counsel team of “13 angry Democrats” (as President Trump calls them).

And finally, from the Daily Wire, “IRONY: Obama To Receive Award For Ethics In Government – Will reputedly rip ‘the rising strain of authoritarian politics and policies.'”

A Pulitzer for peace before he’s done anything and now acolades for “ethics” after running one of the most, if not the most, corrupt governments in our nation’s history!

The phony left is all symbolism and lies. Dershowitz is right; the American people will only discover the truth if both sides are heard…if all of the information is disclosed.

    Related: The Hill, “Russian oligarch, Justice Department and a clear case of collusion:

    In a 20-month search for evidence of collusion between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia, none that is compelling has emerged.

    Former FBI Director James Comey told Congress he found none. The U.S. intelligence community has given a similar assessment, though it did prove convincingly that Moscow meddled in the 2016 election through cyber warfare. And, so far, special counsel Robert Mueller has not offered any collusion evidence, though his work continues.

    But, for the first time, I can say there is evidence of collusion between Russians and Americans — specifically, the sort that is at the heart of counterintelligence work. …

    … it is irrefutable that after he began helping the FBI, Deripaska regained entry to the United States. And he visited numerous times between 2009 and 2017, visa entry records show.

    We now know that, on multiple occasions during those visits, the DOJ and FBI secretly collaborated with Deripaska in the hope of getting help, first regarding Levinson, then on Ohr’s matters, and finally on the Manafort case. U.S. officials told me they assumed Deripaska let Putin’s team know he was helping the U.S. government and that his motive for helping was to keep visiting America.

    Today, Deripaska is banned anew from the United States, one of several Russians sanctioned in April by the Trump administration as a way to punish Putin for 2016 election meddling. But he wants to be clear about a few things, according to a statement provided by his team. First, he did collude with Americans in the form of voluntarily assisting and meeting with the FBI, the DOJ and people such as Ohr between 2009 and 2016.

    He also wants Americans to know he did not cooperate or assist with Steele’s dossier, and he tried to dispel the FBI notion that Russia and the Trump campaign colluded during the 2016 election.

    “The latest reckless media chatter proposes that I had some unspecified involvement in the so-called dossier. Like most of the absurd fantasies and smears that ricochet across the internet, it is utterly false. I had absolutely nothing to do with this project, and I never had any knowledge of it until it was reported in the media and I certainly wasn’t involved in any activity related to it,” Deripaska said in the statement his team provided me.

    So…no crime cited and no emergency, either.

    About par for the whatever it takes left elite. They do think of themselves as our rulers.

    Sara Carter and John Solomon are doing a terrific job of putting this all together with they many inside sources from the FBI both current and former.

    I’m reading “The Russian Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump” by Gregg Jarrett. He did an excellent job of laying it all out in an easy to understand order that makes such a complex chain of events and those involved. About halfway through and even though I’ve followed the hoax from the beginning he’s included information I had missed. Highly recommend.

    You do know that hearings prior to a FISA warrant aren’t a thing, right?

    • Tina says:

      You do know that before a FISA warrant is issued a thing called a hearing can take place before a judge, don’t you?

      In particular, the FBI asking a judge to grant permission to spy on an American citizen, I would think, would be extremely thorough…especially since the later requests involved spying on a member of a campaign party not currently in power during an election and after.

      The American Thinker:

      Judicial Watch announced that documents from the Justice Department obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show that there were no formal court hearings to approve FISA warrants on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

      Formal hearings are not necessary. But don’t you think that if the Department of Justice were going to spy on an aide to a presidential campaign, it would take extraordinary measures to get a FISA warrant approved?

      The Justice Department being run by the opposing political party should have been held to the highest standards of proof before surveilling a campaign aide from the opposition party, and thus spying on Trump campaign officials who come in contact with him.

      This activity is much more dangerous than the inept break-in at the Watergate…the power of government was used to influence the election!

      Wake up, Chris!

      • Chris says:

        Again, hearings prior to FISA warrants simply do not happen.

        “The Justice Department being run by the opposing political party should have been held to the highest standards of proof before surveilling a campaign aide from the opposition party, and thus spying on Trump campaign officials who come in contact with him.”

        This is pure nonsense. “Proof” is not the standard for a warrant to spy on someone–if there were “proof” that the target was doing what they were accused of, the spying wouldn’t be necessary! The American Thinker, as usually, is peddling horse manure.

        There remains zero evidence that proper protocol wasn’t followed in getting the warrant on Page, and tons of evidence that Page was a shady character who needed to be investigated. The attempts to delegitimize this investigation–started and run by Republicans–is just about changing the narrative from the undeniable fact that Trump surrounded himself with crooks in his campaign.

    Must read for those interested in the FBI, DOJ scandals: The American Thinker, “Mueller, Comey, and the Deep State Rescue of Sandy Berger”

    Chills to the bone.
