Bombshell DNI Emails Expose Fraud That Sabotaged 2018 Trump-Putin Summit

By Hans Mahncke

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has released two emails that are significant not only for their content but for their timing, coming just two days before the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. The emails reveal that in late 2016, then-DNI James Clapper pushed the fraudulent narrative that Russia had hacked the Democratic National Committee (DNC), overriding pointed objections from then-National Security Agency chief Admiral Mike Rogers.

The timing matters because this very narrative — the claim that Russia had hacked the DNC to help President Trump — was used to sabotage the 2018 Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki. Just three days before that meeting, Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian nationals on charges of hacking the DNC. The indictment was designed to create political chaos. Mueller knew that the 12 Russians were located in Russia and would never stand trial, meaning he would never need to prove the case. The result of the indictments was exactly what Mueller, his team, and any yet-to-be-identified co-conspirators intended: to sabotage the summit and effectively criminalize diplomacy with Russia..............To Read More...

Lie another day: Clapper’s six-line marching orders that shaped Russiagate - The latest declassification from Gabbard shows lockstep unity was mandatory in the Obama Intelligence Directorate. ........Every sentence, every clause, every word, and every point of emphasis underscored the unmistakable message: This is our plan. This is the schedule. We will bend the rules. You will not see all the intel. And there will be no dissent. Deal with it.

At the time, the Obama White House had ordered an “Intelligence Community Assessment” on Russian election interference—yet inside the intelligence agencies, deep and abiding doubts about the conclusions, the sourcing, and the compressed timetable were tamped down and suppressed. Admiral Mike Rogers of the NSA had raised significant concerns about access and verification. Clapper’s response? A curt directive that left no doubt he expected complete alignment.  But don’t take my word for it—here is Clapper’s email, verbatim:.............

My Take - I've no doubt there must be a RICO investigation in the works over this.

Spies who lie: 51 ‘intelligence’ experts refuse to apologize for discrediting true Hunter Biden story

By Post Editorial Board March 18, 2022

They are the supposed nonpartisan group of top spies looking out for the best interest of the nation.

But the 51 former “intelligence” officials who cast doubt on The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president. And more than a year later, even after their Deep State sabotage has been shown again and again to be a lie, they refuse to own up to how they undermined an election.

The officials, including CNN pundit and professional fabricator James Clapper — a man who was nearly charged for perjury for lying to Congress — signed a letter saying that the laptop “has the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”...........To Read More.....

Ex-CIA analyst: Anti-Trump officials politicized intelligence, undermined U.S. security

By Bill Gertz The Washington Times Thursday, September 9, 2022

U.S. intelligence officials waged a politicized campaign to undermine President Trump and his administration, and the politicization undermined American security, according to a former U.S. intelligence analyst.  John A. Gentry, a former CIA analyst, stated in a journal article that former high-ranking intelligence officials were frequently used by sitting intelligence officials, to leak damaging information. Many “formers” directly or indirectly helped elect current President Biden and defeat Mr. Trump in the 2020 election.

“Current and former U.S. intelligence officers in unprecedentedly large numbers politicized intelligence in their opposition to candidate and then President Donald Trump,” Mr. Gentry stated in an article in the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence.

“The activists consistently refused, and still refuse, to accept responsibility for the politicization or the damage it caused to intelligence and broader national security.”

Mr. Gentry names many of those he says were politicized, including both high-ranking and mid-level former agency employees.

Former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden, among others, aggressively pursued political agendas in opposition to Mr. Trump from 2016 to 2021, Mr. Gentry said, and their efforts, ongoing despite Mr. Trump leaving the White House in January, damaged the credibility of once-objective spy agencies.................

What Did Obama Know — and When Did He Know It?

Editorial of The New York Sun | May 11, 2020
   
What did President Obama know and when did he know it? That famous formulation is emerging as the question in the wake of new disclosures in respect of a meeting that took place inside the Oval Office in the closing days of Mr. Obama’s presidency. The meeting included not only his national security adviser, Susan Rice, and the head of the FBI, James Comey, but also Vice President Biden, now the prospective Democratic nominee.

This is laid out in, among other places, a dispatch by Mollie Hemingway in the Federalist. Ms. Hemingway reckons the meeting is turning out to be, as her headline puts it, “key” to the “entire anti-Trump operation” launched two weeks before the end of the Obama administration. She’s not the only one laying this out; a veteran of the Sun, Eli Lake, now of Bloomberg, has been all over the story; the Wall Street Journal, as well.

Ms. Hemingway presents a terrific timeline. It starts on January 4, 2017, at a time when the FBI was scrambling, as the Federalist’s scribe puts it, to reopen a case against General Flynn. The January 5 meeting started as a briefing for the President and also included Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, the CIA director, John Brennan, and the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper..............

“What did the president know and when did he know it?” is the phrase that history offers up. It was first uttered during Senator Sam Ervin’s Watergate hearings by Senator Howard Baker, Republican of Tennessee. It starts to look ever more apt as investigators, put on the case by Attorney General Barr, finally start to focus on who it was who laid the long train of powder against the incoming Trump administration............

Brennan Hears Barr's 'Chilling' Footsteps

October 5, 2019 By Daniel John Sobieski

James Clapper, the man who lied to Congress about spying on the American people was shocked back in April to hear William Barr testify before Congress that, yes, he thought that the Trump campaign had been spied upon by his political opponents. As Breitbart reported:
Well, I thought it was most stunning and scary. I was amazed at that and rather disappointed that the attorney general would say such a thing. The term “spying” has all kinds of negative connotations, and I have to believe he chose that term deliberately. 
And I think it’s incredible that if he has concerns, he would have easily on his first day on the job, after his confirmation, asked his own IG, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, for a briefing on his preliminary, in the course of his investigation, that is, the IG’s investigation, whether there was any wrongdoing by the FBI.
Barr has more than that, it would seem and has sent chills up Clapper’s spine that the walls may be closing in, not on President Trump, but on Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan for their seditious roles in the attempted coup against the President. According to a Wall Street Journal report:
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says… that Attorney General William Barr appears to be investigating a high-confidence finding of the US intelligence community assessment of the 2016 election sends a "chilling message to the intelligence community."
Brennan may be hearing those footsteps get louder as well with his increasingly hysterical commentaries at MSNBC, which, along with CNN, is where liars and leakers go to die, warning President Trump to keep off the grass..........

As I wrote here recently, Brennan may have colluded with foreign spies to help Hillary Clinton. And the mind harkens back to the day when an op/ed in the Washington Post, that right-wing rag, called for Brennan to be fired for conducting illegal surveillance of the Senate Intelligence Committee and then lying about it:..........To Read More....

My Take - "Let's Make a Deal!" is coming to your local tv station soon.  Let's face it.  That Obama cabal of crooks, criminals, traitors and liars are in all in big trouble, and it won't be long before they will make deals to get of as much as they can. 

The mob guys are supposed to be tough, but they turned on some of the most violent and ruthless criminals in the world to save themselves from prison.  Jimmy Hoffa was a tough guy who spent his life beating up tough guys and hanging around tough guys, and he would have agreed to anything to get out of prison. . 

Do you think this crowd is tougher?  "Let's Make a Deal" is coming soon!!!!!!! Stay tuned to your favorite station.

He Did It, Not Me!

By | May 19th, 2019

There is something Kafkaesque about the current round of investigating possible FBI, CIA, National Security Agency, Justice Department, and National Security Council wrongdoing during the 2016 election, Trump transition, and early presidency.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller had been permitted to range well beyond his mandate of “Russian collusion.” He outsourced much of the selection of his “dream team” and “all-star” staff of attorneys to his deputy, Andrew Weissman. In turn, Weissman—who commiserated with Hillary Clinton at her ill-fated “victory” party on the evening of her defeat—stocked the team with Trump-haters, liberals and progressives, Clinton donors, a few who had previously served as attorneys for the Clinton Foundation, and Clinton or Obama aides. Most of these were themselves briefed during the early dissemination of the fraudulent Steele dossier.

Yet after all the bias, prosecutorial leveraging, the process crimes, the perjury traps, and after 22 months, $34 million, and a 440-plus page report, Mueller’s “hunter-killer” team did not establish that President Trump colluded with the Russians to warp the 2016 election.

In fact, Mueller could not find prosecutable “obstruction” of justice by Trump to impair the investigation of what Mueller concluded was not a crime........To Read More....

Russian ‘Collusion’s’ Greatest Hits

By |  April 21st, 2019

From late 2015 until April 2019, the media, the Left, and the Obama administrative state hierarchy warned us nonstop that candidate, president-elect, and inaugurated President Trump “colluded” with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton, to assemble a suspect cabinet, and to rule in treasonous fashion in the interests of Vladimir Putin.

The former head of the CIA and the director of national intelligence were birthed as permanent analysts at MSNBC and CNN to sermonize—with wink-and-nod assurances that their past billets and security clearances substantiated their authority—that the treasonous Trump would likely be impeached, indicted, or quit.

A mostly progressive team of lawyers, with an unlimited budget, no restrictions on time, and with enormous legal powers found all of that to be a lie.............The Mueller fiasco likely will end any talk of any special counsel investigation for a generation. Eventually, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and McCabe, along with others, will feel what it is like to have a federal prosecutor leveraging them, but this time about real, not made-up, crimes.

The liberal television media and their administrative state partisan “experts” likely will not gain back their former audiences, who were duped with two years of fabrications dressed up as “the walls are closing in” psychodramatic news. The hard Left, “Impeach Trump!” Democratic presidential field will no longer have an excuse to avoid explaining to the American people their weird agenda: a fundamental transformation of the country antithetical to the visions of the American Founders and likely on every issue opposed by a majority of Americans. And we the people will learn yet again that our best and brightest just may be among our worst and dumbest...........To Read More....

The Mueller report is walking around naked as a jaybird, and James Clapper insists he can see its new collusion clothes

April 20, 2019 By Monica Showalter

James Clapper is making a fool of himself — and now wants you to be his bigger fool.

Get a load of his hot take on the Mueller report, reported by the Daily Caller: ..............
"If there wasn't active collusion proven, then I think what we have here is a case of passive collusion where in some cases, unwittingly, to include candidate Trump himself, who retweeted messages that had been planted by the Russians in social media," the CNN national security analyst said in an interview with Anderson Cooper. "That's a small, but important, example of how members of the campaign were used and manipulated by the Russians."
He's resorting to this claptrap because there is no there there. If there's no real collusion to denounce, then seeing some 'unwitting' collusion will have to do. This rather nullifies the entire meaning of the word 'collusion,' the words here are 'useful idiot,' the sort of phrase that might upset the left. So virtual collusion it is, in the absence of any real collusion. It's come to this..........

He was part of the Deep State plot to spread it all around in the press that President Trump was in bed with the Russians.  The facts show that actually, it was Democrats in bed with the Russians.

Now the Mueller report is out, and that presents a problem.  He can see that the media is blindsided. He can see that there's no evidence of any collusion with Russians.  His solution, then, is to act the role of the charlatan, insisting that with all his fancy specialized knowledge, all his refinement, the Mueller report indeed shows collusion, but only for those with the refinement to see it.

Sorry, pal, the emperor's new collusion is nonsense.  And Clapper himself is the one walking around without any clothes.............To Read More

Things the Media Ignored in the Mueller Report

April 21, 2019 By Clarice Feldman

Despite the oceans of pixels, buckets of ink, and hours of TV and radio coverage respecting the Mueller report, there are two important things underplayed or ignored:
the ubiquitous nature of Russian interference from 2014 on, which Obama ignored, and the real target of the witch hunt -- General Michael Flynn (and why). To get there, let’s first quickly review the pre- and post- report major media coverage.
The Ridiculous Press Propagation of the Hoax and Response to the Report

There are countless examples of the media beclowning itself when the left’s dream of a slam-dunk against the president failed. It was like the election night follies all over again.

To quote the satirical Babylon Bee: “CNN: ‘God Allowed the Mueller Report to Test Our Unshakable Faith in Collusion’”

Here are some examples.......... To Read More...

My Take - I've said right from the beginning this report was going to backfire on the Democrats, Obama, Hillary and now we know the CIA was in effect committing what can only be called Treason.  Start the investigation on Clapper and Brennon and follow this to its proper conclusion and let the heads roll.

What will it take for journalists and other Democrats to tell the truth to the public?

April 16, 2019 By Jack Hellner

We have continually been told that Trump and others should not challenge the integrity of the FBI and Justice Department no matter what they did, as they were seeking to destroy so many lives based on the fictitious collusion story based on the false dossier supplied by the despicable and corrupt DNC and Hillary.

Now, these complicit journalists and other Democrats are ripping into Barr because he is not going along with their lies that have been exposed.   It has been clear for years that the Obama Administration has spied on people surrounding Trump, but when William Barr said he was going to investigate how the spying started these serial liars are squealing like stuck pigs.  Journalists are lying to the public by saying that there is no evidence that the Obama Administration lied...............

Clapper ‘Disappointed’ That AG William Barr Says Obama Administration Spied on Trump Campaign

By Melanie Arter | April 11, 2019

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who served under the Obama administration, told CNN Wednesday that it is “both stunning and scary” that Barr would tell Congress that the Trump campaign was spied on by the government.

“I thought it was both stunning and scary,” said Clapper. “I was amazed at that and rather disappointed that the attorney general would say such a thing. The term ‘spying’ has all kinds of negative connotations and I have to believe he chose that he chose that term deliberately.”

As CNSNews.com previously reported, Barr told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee at a hearing on the DOJ’s 2020 budget proposal on Wednesday that “spying did occur.”.........To Read More...

My Take - He'd better be scared, because they've given Trump their best shots and he's still standing.  Now it's his turn! 

One more thing.  What's the word predicated mean? 

Is that like Clinton attempting to justify lying by saying during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If 'is' means 'is and never has been' that's one thing - if it means 'there is none', that was a completely true statement."

Could be.  He needs to go to jail also.

Pulling Their Clearances Is Only the Start – It’s Time to Stamp out Elite Privilege

Kurt Schlichter Aug 20, 2018

Help, I’m being oppressed! My freedom of speech was been utterly stripped from me because when I retired from the Army those fascist monsters took away my TOP SECRET security clearance. See, a security clearance is a special privilege I should be entitled to exploit for as long as I want to because… well, shut up peasant, that’s why. I learned this in my Con Law class, right after we studied the Constitution’s text enumerating the rights to abortion, wedding cake baking servitude, and to be called by the bizarre pronoun of your – I mean “xir” – choice.

Oh wait, all of that – except the giving up my clearance part – is utter nonsense.

But John Brennan, that hack, and his elite pals are supposed to get the special privilege of keeping it. Why? As a professional courtesy. See, security clearances are things you pass out as favors or rewards, I guess, at least among the elite. Courtesy among them, nothing for you, though. You aren’t special. You’re just some guy serving his country and not turning it into a profit center on the outside. Like a sucker.........Now, we’re also told that these special somebodies need to keep their clearances in case someone actually in the government who is actually doing a government job (instead of raking in bucks as a “consultant” or pundit) wants to ask their sage advice. How would that go with John Brennan?

If we had a real media and not the world’s most pompous Democrat transcription service, the CIA’s blown Chinese spy ring disaster would be front page news but hey, Omarosa! In any case, the only consulting anyone should do with the members of this class of unmitigated failures whose incompetence brought us 9/11, Iraq, Libya, ISIS, and a future where we would all be wise to learn Mandarin, is to ask their opinion and then do the opposite – Costanza style..............To Read More.....

The Three Stooges of Spygate

Brennan, Comey, and Clapper have been caught in a big fat wringer.

George Neumayr May 29, 2018

Bret Baier, in his April interview with Jim Comey on Fox News, asked him if he had seen John Brennan and Jim Clapper together since his firing. “No, no,” Comey replied at first, then said, “Actually, I had dinner with the two of them together with our spouses.” Baier asked him if they discussed “Trump cases” on the triple date. “No, we did not,” he answered.

Add that to Comey’s voluminous record of whoppers. The idea that the three stooges of Spygate, whose red-hot antipathy for Trump is nothing if not all-consuming, went out to dinner without discussing the investigation of him strains all credulity. No doubt one of their anxieties at the dinner was: When will the American public find out about the spy we sent to infiltrate the Trump campaign’s ranks? ............

So what did Obama know and when did he know it? Brennan could give the precise date; he was personally briefing Obama on “Russian interference,” Brennan’s euphemism for his paranoid hunch that Putin’s agents had recruited Trump campaign officials. All the hush-hush dynamics around Brennan’s “taskforce” make no sense if he and White House officials were just sitting around discussing Facebook ads. No, what made it an “exceptionally, exceptionally sensitive issue,” in Brennan’s words, was that they were spying on an opposing party’s presidential campaign.............

Heads Will Roll

Gil Gutknecht May 27, 2018

It may take a few more months to clear away all of the remaining roadblocks and stonewalling. But, the incriminating documents will inevitably be procured. Too many people were part of the plot. Some will cop a plea. Professionals inside the FBI are now coming forward, asking to be subpoenaed so that they can testify before Congress. Motivated to clean up this mess, they want to share what they know. President Trump is now fully engaged and demanding complete transparency. Even his worst detractors would attest to his tenacity. .............

Just as more and more Americans now see the whole Mueller effort as little more than a stinky partisan smokescreen designed to cover the actions of his high ranking friends at DOJ and the FBI. The fog will continue to lift, it always does.......All of the delays, redactions and obfuscations by Rod Rosenstein make sense only if we assume that he is somehow complicit in the conspiracy. His claims of protecting the integrity of the DOJ and FBI ring absolutely hollow. He must be covering his own tracks..............Spygate scandal is real! And it represents a dangerous threat to our Republic. There has to be accountability ...............To Read More.....

Name That Tune: The Singers Are on Their Way!

They didn't just want Hillary to win:  They needed Hillary to win!

By Rich Kozlovich

On May 23rd, 2918 Andrew West posted an article "Espionage Expert James Clapper Has BAD NEWS For Barack Obama!, saying:
"There has been quite a bit of talk about former President Barack Obama this week, which is never something that we suggest you endure. At least in this case, we’ve been conjuring the democratic deity in order to expose his vicious political chicanery."
He went on to state what should have been obvious to the most casual observer, unless you're a Democrat, a Hillaryophile or a delusional leftist:
"As we have often discovered with the deceptive and devious democrats, Barack Obama’s legacy took very little time to find tarnish after he finally slithered out of office."
 There's one thing that's become obvious as the author notes:
"The 44th President was well entrenched within the Clinton Crime Family’s inner circle, and some of the behavior that is now coming to light bears a striking resemblance to the sorts of things we’ve discovered about the democratic diva herself in the Trump Era.
And now the final curtain is going to be drawn:
The semantic gymnastics are now officially over.  There was a spy in the Trump campaign, placed there by the Obama administration.  Where on earth do we go from here?" To jail, that’s where.
It was clear to me from the beginning that Mueller's investigation - no matter how he may have corrupted it - was going to backfire on the Democrats - all in order to support a corrupt, egocentric, delusional lunatic.  To which Democrat am I referring?  Take your pick, any in the leadership of the Party of Treason would do, but in this case it's Hillary.

I've also said the time would come when the "little" people involved in all of this would find themselves facing serious jail time for their activities at the behest of those in upper ranks of the Obama administration.  When that happens, and it's starting, all of a sudden they will find harmony with people like Joe Valachi, Jimmy "the weasel" Fratianno, and Sammy "the Bull" Gravano, who tuned on the Teflon Don, John Gotti.  All turned on their Mafia bosses in spite of their Oath of Omerta - the Mafia's Code of Silence, and it turned out there was no Teflon strong enough that could protect Gotti or any of the rest of them.

When jail looms ahead for underlings - guess what?  The bosses go down because the penalties are so severe it become "every man for himself" situation, and the first to talk gets off lightly and can even escape prison entirely. 

Make no mistake about this - prison is tough on mobsters, ask Jimmy Hoffa.  He spent his life among tough guys, he spent his life beating up tough guys and he would have done anything to get out of prison.  What happens when agents for the IRS, the FBI, or the CIA go to prison?  What happens when these white collar lower echelon types go to prison?  It's not just tough on them - it's a nightmare - and they know it!  They'll sing!

The mobsters who turned on their bosses had been benefiting economically for decades with their mob connections and yet they chose to sing to save themselves.  But how have these government lackeys benefited?  Not much as far as I can see.  Certainly not as much as Hillary, Obama and their circle of cutthroats, and now the singers will be on their way.  It's just a matter of picking the time and the tune! Or maybe a different Attorney General.  And I keep wondering why this isn't worthy of a RICO indictment.  RICO is what killed the mob bosses, and it's clear that at the very least the Clintons benefited enormously through their foundation and government connections, which could only be considered an organized criminal activity by any reasonable standard. 

The nation can thank Hillary for all of this.  If she and her happy band of lunatics hadn't demanded an investigation claiming the only reason Trump was elected  was the result of Russian interference none of this may have ever come to light.  Now as Mueller stumbles down his path of collusion with the Democrats in his investigation it's all becoming a nightmare for them, not Trump.  It will be interesting to see if Mueller ends up in jail. It will be interesting to see if Comey turns on all of them to avoid prison.  It will really be interesting to see how Mueller, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Lois Lerner and a plethora of underlings we know nothing about will spin their parts in all of this.  It will be interesting to see who they're willing to sacrifice to save themselves.   It will be interesting to see if a former past President of the United States is convicted for his support of what must be considered criminal activities. 

But no matter what, they all have to know the singers are on their way!

Trump Vindicated on Wiretaps, Hillary Ukraine Collusion

Obama's DOJ and James Comey were both liars in denying the wiretapping for which Trump was widely mocked.
