This is what all the rioting is really about. They want to keep eyes off this.

I'll share the transcript when I find it.

Pretty late in getting this one posted, but I want it here for posterity. So, if anyone out there hasn't seen Rod Rosenstein testify about Crossfire Hurricane, here ya go. 

Rod Rosenstein... a name derived from the Latin expression 'weak weasel'.

[guohua]

My husband thinks Rosenstein well ask to be placed in the WITSEC program as a deal to testify, which will give him a lesser sentence and place him and his family in the Federal Protection Program.
He'll get a new Identity when he is released.

My husband thinks it would be harder for Killary to reach him there.
That part of the Federal Prison System is ran and monitored my the US Marshall Service and the WITSEC Units are small and buried deep next to a well armed roving patrol of a Federal Prison, even the Marshalls are stopped and ID'd before entering that section.

Flynn was targeted at the beginning of the Spygate scandal because he knew too much; they had to get him out of the way.
Here is a post from Techno Fog on Twitter:

Peter Strzok notes from 1/4/17 released in Flynn case:
Discussion among Obama, Comey, Yates, Biden, and Susan Rice.
Biden: "Logan Act"
Obama: "Have the right people on" Flynn case.
Comey: The Flynn/Kislyak calls "appear legit."

Oopsi! Joe got caught lying again. 
He said on MSNBC that, "I was never a part or had any knowledge of any criminal investigation into Flynn while I was in office, period. Not one single time."

And what about Obama? 
President Trump just brought up in another recent news interview that these people were facing TREASON, with a possible sentence of 50 years behind bars.

Comey? No doubt this guy is guilty.

Could we possibly see these traitors go down for their crimes?  Time will tell.

I'm buying more popcorn!

As America reopens from coronavirus lockdowns and protests and riots engulf American cities, Attorney General William Barr is hard at work on Obamagate. According to award-winning journalist Adam Housley, “as many as 16-17” criminal referrals will be headed to the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the Obama administration’s spying on the Trump campaign in 2016.

“Criminal referrals have already been sent to the Justice Department and the overall number may reach as many as 16-17 by the end of next week. Investigators are working on additional ones as we speak and some are targeting the Mueller probe and how [retired Gen. Michael Flynn was] investigated,” Housley tweeted.

Housley explained that the criminal referrals are coming from Congress “and are much more detailed than any before.”

“This is coming from people with direct knowledge of the ongoing investigations. These same sources say this targets agency folks and McCabe may be one. What’s interesting is to see how this will differ, if at all, from what [U.S. Attorney John] Durham is doing,” Housley added.

On Saturday, The Washington Examiner reported that House Intelligence Committee Republicans were preparing to send Obamagate criminal referrals to the DOJ. Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) had sent eight referrals to Barr last spring, and he told Fox Business last week that House Republicans have enough evidence for “at least another five, possibly as many as 10” recommendations for prosecution as three U.S. attorneys review various aspects of the Russia investigation.

Nunes said he and his colleagues plan to send the referrals withing the next “week to 10 days or so.”
“We now are looking at the overall Gen. Flynn investigation and how that was conducted and the rest of the Mueller team,” the congressman said. “And then, of course, as new information has come to light from the information that was declassified by acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, that information has also shown that there are other people who have lied or misled Congress or have, I think in some cases maybe, lied by omission, documents that were kept from Congress.”

Echoing Trump, Nunes has claimed Obama administration officials abused the government’s intelligence powers in an attempted “coup” against Trump. He teased that Republicans would escalate the investigation if they win back control of the House in November.

“We’ve got about 40 people that are on that list,” he said, without naming anyone. “So, hopefully, if Republicans are put back in charge, we will be able to subpoena those people, but right now, we can’t.”

Grenell was replaced by former Rep. John Ratcliffe late last month after the Texas Republican was confirmed by the Senate. During his three-month tenure as head of the U.S. Intelligence Community, Grenell declassified long-sought-after documents related to the case against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and forced the hand of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to release dozens of witness transcripts from the panel’s own investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Schiff accused Grenell of “selective declassification for political purposes.”

According to Housley, Barr is aiming “to avoid a constitutional crisis” and so he has proceeded quietly.

General Flynn is a free man! All that's left is a bunch of BS with the judges that want to play this out as long as possible, because their masters told them to.

[Mystic Wanderer]

Adam Schiffty Shit is filling his pants now that Gen. Flynn is free.

"They" know what's coming, and they are all in panic mode!

Is Adam Schiff getting scared? Is he going to try to run? 
Won't do him any good. You won't escape Schiffty Shit!

Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence committee, said Monday that he might want to move to Canada, during a discussion about disinformation and election interference on social media platforms.

“We may all be moving to Canada soon,” he said during the discussion on "Social Media Disinformation and Election Interference," organized by George Washington University.

The California Democrat made the comment before the moderator moved the discussion to Dominic LeBlanc, a member of the Canadian Parliament.

Schiff, who was one of the House’s impeachment managers in the case against President Trump, said he remains most concerned about Russian interference on social media heading into the November election and big tech’s handling of the issue.

More justice coming to those involved with the Russia, Russia scandal.    

• A British judge ordered Christopher Steele to pay damages to Russian bankers that the former British spy accused in the infamous Trump dossier of having illicit ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
  
  
• The judge ruled that Steele’s allegations were inaccurate and that he failed to verify the information before putting it in the dossier.
  
  
• The ruling marks Steele’s first loss in a dossier-related lawsuit. Other aspects of Steele’s report have been debunked by reports from the special counsel’s office and the Justice Department’s inspector general.
  

He better get more than a slap on the wrist for his part in trying to take down a duly elected POTUS!   

A British judge on Wednesday ordered former British spy Christopher Steele to pay damages to two Russian bankers he accused in the infamous Trump dossier of having illicit ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The ruling, handed down by Sir Mark Warby, a justice on the High Court of England and Wales, marks Steele’s first loss in a dossier-related lawsuit.

Warby ordered Steele and his firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, to pay £18,000 to Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, two owners of Alfa Bank, for violating their rights under the Data Protection Act.

Fridman, Aven and a third Alfa Bank owner, German Khan, sued Steele in the British court in May 2018 alleging that he violated their rights under the Data Protection Act, a British law that grants individuals legal remedies to ensure information about them in the public domain is accurate.

The bankers sued Steele over a Sept. 14, 2016 memo that the ex-spy compiled as part of an investigation for the Clinton campaign of Donald Trump’s possible ties to the Russian government.
Steele, a former MI6 officer, alleged that the bankers made “illicit” cash payments to Putin in the 1990s, and continued to do “significant favours” for the Russian leader.

Warby determined that Steele’s allegation about illicit payments was false, and that he failed to conduct due diligence to verify the information once he received it from a source he used to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign and Russia.

Warby ruled that Steele’s allegations were “inaccurate or misleading as a matter of fact.”

“The steps taken to verify [this] proposition fell short of what would have been reasonable,” the justice also said, adding that “the allegation clearly called for closer attention, a more enquiring approach, and more energetic checking.”

“My findings are analogous to a finding of liability for libel,” Warby said.

Warby emphasized Steele’s admission during cross-examination in mid-March that the dossier contained inaccurate information regarding a Russian he claimed served as the bag man for an alleged scheme between the bankers and Vladimir Putin.

Steele alleged that Oleg Govorun made the secret payments on Alfa’s behalf to Putin when he served as deputy mayor of St. Petersburg.

But the bankers’ lawyer, Hugh Tomlinson, forced Steele to concede that the allegation was inaccurate because Govorun did not start working for Alfa Bank until after Putin was no longer deputy mayor of St. Petersburg. Steele testified that he conducted a single internet search regarding Govorun before adding the information to the dossier.
“It is unclear what efforts Mr Steele made to verify this allegation, other than the one relevant internet search to which he has referred,” Warby said in his ruling. “Mr Steele’s evidence as to the single relevant internet search he undertook was unimpressive.” 

Warby determined that other allegations that Steele made in his memo about Alfa Bank did not violate the Data Protection Act.

Fridman, one of the Alfa Bank owners, celebrated Warby’s decision, saying that it confirmed that Steele’s memo about the bankers was “inaccurate and misleading.”

“Ever since these odious allegations were first made public in January, 2017 my partners and I have been resolute and unwavering in our determination to prove that they are untrue, and through this case, we have finally succeeded in doing so,” Fridman said in a statement provided to The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Fridman and Aven plan to donate the damages they receive from Orbis to charity.

“This suit was never about money, it has always been about principle and truth,” said Geraldine Proudler, a lawyer for the bankers.

Oh good, there's more charges on the way.  

Steele goes to trial in another dossier-related lawsuit later this month. Aleksej Gubarev, a Russian tech executive, claims that Steele falsely accused him of using his companies to help Russian hackers steal information from Democrats in 2016.

Explosive documents were released yesterday detailing a June 2016 defensive briefing given to then-Republican candidate Donald Trump, former national security advisor Michael Flynn and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie — Sara Carter appeared on Hannity last night to discuss the news and how it reveals the extent to which the Trump campaign was spied on.

“These documents are explosive,” Carter reported. “It was 2016 and here’s Joe Pientka debriefing basically Trump, Governor Christie, and Michael Flynn. And then in January, he goes back to the White House with Peter Strzok— he’s the one that’s interviewing Michael Flynn.”

DNI Declassifies Trump, Flynn Defensive Briefing From 2016, Revealing Extent Of Spying On Trump Team

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe partially declassified numerous documents Thursday on the FBI’s defensive briefing given in August, 2016 to then Republican candidate Donald Trump, former national security advisor Michael Flynn and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Those documents are now public and have been reviewed by this reporter.

Ratcliffe sent the declassified briefing documents to Senators Charles Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Ron Johnson, with the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

“Pursuant to multiple prior requests regarding intelligence briefings provided during the 2016 Presidential campaign, including your letters dated 25 April 2019; 16 October 2019; and 16 April 2020, please see the enclosed declassified documents,” Ratcliffe stated in a letter to the Senators.

The now declassified defensive briefing documents from 2016, were signed and approved by former FBI Special Agent Kevin Clinesmith, who was outed by the DOJ’s Inspector General for falsifying and omitting information in the Foreign Intelligence Application warrant against Carter Page. The other signatory on the defensive documents was former Special Agent Peter Strzok.

Strzok was removed from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump Russia and was later fired by the bureau after thousands of anti-Trump texts were discovered between him and his then lover FBI lawyer Lisa Page. The now debunked Russia probe investigation and the investigations looking into the bureau’s malfeasance reveals that the FBI was collecting information directly on Trump for political purposes.

The case ID on the defensive briefing document titled ‘(Redacted) Document Brief to Republican Candidate for U.S. President’ is noted as 97-HQ-2026661 (Redacted) Crossfire Hurricane; Foreign Agents Registration Act – Russia. It was a summary written by FBI Special Agent Joe Pientka, who is still employed by the bureau. Pientka also conducted the briefing with Trump and the officials on the 25th floor of the FBI’s New York Field Office in a classified SCIF.
“(Redacted) Statistically speaking the FBI has approximately (redacted) cases of Known or Suspected Russian IOs posted to the US,” stated Pientka during the briefing.

“We also have approximately (redacted) cases on Known or Suspected Chinese IOs – almost (redacted) the Russian establishment presence,” he told the group that day. No one realized that while Pientka was debriefing them, he was also collecting information on them believing that Flynn, along with Trump, may have been in the pocket of Russia’s intelligence services.

Pientka recalled in the summary that Trump asked the following question, “Joe, are the Russians bad? Because they have more numbers, are they worse than the Chinese?”

Pientka said that he responded with “both countries are bad.”

Flynn appeared to be more concerned about the lack of resources the bureau had and that there wasn’t enough budget or manpower to deal with the growing threat of violent extremists. He asked Pientka, “How many Special Agents are in the FBI?”

Pientka responded that he thought over 10,000 bureau Special Agents. Flynn stated “you have 17,000” showing his knowledge of bureau resources.

“How many HVE (Home Grown Violent Extremists) cases does the FBI have,” asked Flynn, and Pientka responded but that number is redacted from the documents.

Pientka then stated in his summary that Flynn spoke to Trump saying, “See, they don’t have enough resources to work the HVE (Home Grown Violent Extremists) threat and the IOs (Intelligence Officers).”

Flynn then asked Pientka “Is it worse now than during the Cold War?”

Pientka stated in document that the “number of identified known and suspected IOs from hostile Foreign Intelligence Services posted in the U.S. are equal to or greater than during the Cold War.”

A former federal law enforcement official told this reporter, “It’s interesting that the defensive briefing for a potential president was listed as part of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”

“It reveals that the bureau went beyond Flynn in collecting information on then candidate Trump,” stated the source, with knowledge of the case. “It’s unbelievable actually and crossed a very dangerous line.”

The once highly classified defensive briefing summary dated August 30, 2016, states: “This communication documents writer’s counter(intelligence)…security briefing to the Republican candidate for U.S. President Donald J. Trump, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and General (retired) Michael Flynn.

It also notes the day the FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation as July, 31, 2016.

It states that the writer of the document, is Joe Pientka, III, who provided a “counterintelligence and security briefing to U.S. Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump” along with Flynn and Christie. Pientka is still with the bureau and has never been questioned by Congress. He was with Strzok in January, 2017 at the White House when they went to question then national security advisor Flynn.

“The briefing is standard practice for potential candidates for presidency and their senior advisors,” stated a former FBI Official. “However, spying on a presidential candidate during a briefing isn’t.”

The documents states that “(Redacted) Writer’s brief lasted approximately thirteen minutes, stating at 1555 and ending at 1608,” in military hours.

“Upon entering the room Trump, Christie and Flynn shook hands with all the briefers. Trump, Christie and Flynn sat with their backs to the clocks facing the windows while the briefers sat across from them. An ODNI briefer, Edward Gistaro, initiated the briefing by discussing the history job the briefings and establishing the ground rules regarding the brief, specifically that the briefers would not answer policy related questions and would not discuss any operations,” the document written by Pientka states.

“Gistaro then introduced writer, who approved the following brief (not verbatim, this is a summary):

Good afternoon gentlemen and welcome to the FBI’s New York Field Office. My name is Joe Pientka and I’m a Supervisory Special Agent of a Foreign Counterintelligence Squad at the FBI’s Washington Field Office,” stated Pientka, who went on to introduce himself to the group, stating that his brief would give Trump, along with the team, “a baseline on the methodology used by Foreign Intelligence Services to the detriment of U.S. National Security.”

“In addition, this brief will advise you that if you are not already a target of a Foreign Intelligence Service, due to the fact you are receiving this classified briefing, you will be,” stated Pientka, as disclosed in the document. “Foreign intelligence Services want information pertaining to political, economic, energy, technology and military policy/plans of the U.S. This information is extremely valuable to our trusted allies. Putting it plainly, Foreign Intelligence Services look to collect inside information to give their country a competitive advantage over the U.S.”

Here is the entire hearing with Sally Yates today regarding "Obama Gate"

[Mystic Wanderer]

The FBI briefing of the Senate Intelligence Committee was just declassified.
Below is a thread by Jonathan Turley on Twitter with what he discovered.

@JonathanTurley

It states that the sub-source for Steele confirmed that the information was not fabricated in the Report. By that point, the FBI knew the sub-source ridiculed the Report and the use of his information...

The document at best is misleading by omission. At worst, it is untrue by design. The question is who was the briefer and who signed off on the briefing. By 2017, the FBI had already heard from both the CIA and the sub source that the Steele Report was unreliable.

By the time of this briefing, Congress was already looking into allegations that the Steele dossier funding by the Clinton campaign was based on false information. That raises the question of whether Congress was given false information...

There is no mention that agents flagged the possible use of Steele by Russian intelligence to spread false information. It does not mention that in 2017 the information was discredited by both the sub-source and investigators. This reaffirms the need for the Durham investigation.

Notably, most of the media has yet to mention the report, let alone address the implications of this new information. It is precisely the willful blindness that I previously discussed.
https://jonathanturley.org/2020/07/27/willful-blindness-new-damaging-information-on-the-russian-investigation-is-promptly-unseen-by-the-media/

Here is the release of the Senate Committee. https://judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/rele

How long have the Anons known this?  I believe it was over two years ago. It's amazing to see how slow information flows out to the public.
I have to wonder if it weren't for independent journalists who paid attention to Q, if any of this would ever have come to light? These journalists force the information to the top so that MSM has to cover it, or else they will.

[Mystic Wanderer]

And CNN wonders why President Trump calls them "fake news".    

It's in black and white in the documents that were released already, you moron!  YES, THEY DID SPY ON TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN!

IDIOT!

Jim Acosta lies again.

Here's an article if anyone wants some sauce on the documents:  LINK

HUGE: Former and Fired FBI Director Comey Is In Big Trouble – He Knew Carter Page Worked for the CIA But Signed Bogus FISA Warrants Anyway

Former FBI Director James Comey knew Carter Page was a CIA asset when he signed multiple FISA warrants to spy on Carter Page and candidate and President Trump.  He knew this because Carter Page told him.

Republican Representative Devin Nunes was on FOX Business with attorney Gregg Jarrett.  In the interview Nunes noted a couple of important items related to the Durham investigation of the Deep State gang behind Obamagate, but at the 3:15 mark below, Jarrett said the following:

Comey already knew Carter Page was an asset of the CIA.  You know how I know this?  Carter Page before the first FISA warrant application, he sent Comey a direct letter that said I work for the CIA.  I’m not a Russian spy.  How do I know that?  Because he gave me a copy of the letter, it’s in both of my books.  It’s also part of his Congressional testimony you’ll recall.  So isn’t it true that James Comey concealed this information from the FISA Court and perpetrated a fraud when he signed the FISA warrants?

This is some shocking information that you would only know if you read Jarrett’s book.  Clearly Comey committed a crime when he signed the FISA warrants to spy on Carter Page and the Trump Administration.  He is in some real trouble.

I think they are getting the public ready to see an indictment for James Comey... FINALLY!
Who will be next?
Who would you like to see on the indictment list?
