The coup attempt against President Trump

[Termn8or]

Amazing that liberals cannot see what Barr has said and understand the ramifications.

AG Barr just signaled that things are about to get ugly for the Russia collusion team
BY KEVIN R. BROCK
“Travesty” is not a nice word. It usually is applied to gross perversions of justice, and that apparently is the context Attorney General William Barr desired when he dropped it into an interview answer the other day in the breezy courtyard of the Department of Justice (DOJ).

His composed, understated delivery almost disguised the weighty magnitude of that disturbing word and the loaded adjective that preceded it. “I think what happened to him,” he said, referring to the president and the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into his campaign, “was one of the greatest travesties in American history.”

Okay, it’s important to pause for a moment and absorb what the AG said. He just called an FBI investigation not just a travesty but one of the “greatest” travesties in the nation’s history. It was an unprecedented statement by an attorney general about his own department’s premier agency.


The FBI has made plenty of mistakes, but never in its 112-year history has an FBI investigation been characterized as a travesty, let alone one that equates to other hall-of-fame travesties in American history....

The AG is logically being briefed on the progress and findings of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation, which he commissioned to examine how the empty Russia collusion case got started in the first place and if it involved any wrongdoing on the part of the government. It is a safe bet that Mr. Durham is collecting evidence beyond the self-serving statements of the FBI principals involved. ...

“Sabotage” is another powerful word, technically a wartime crime, but a useful metaphor in its ramifications, since it implicates a range of supporting crimes such as conspiracy, fraud, perjury and false statements.

The AG then ominously stated that he is not interested in simply receiving a “report” from Durham. He expects him to focus on possible criminal violations: “And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted.”

These are incredibly hopeful words to many Americans who have come to believe ....after the numerous Clinton family schemes and scandals, and after the wasteful Mueller “investigation” — that the powerful are never held accountable.....

In light of that, it’s hard to imagine his confidence isn’t buttressed with mounting evidence of abusive government actions.

This is what the Durham investigation could well conclude: A group of people aligned with or sympathetic to one political party conspired to illicitly use the authorities of the FBI to besmirch the opposing party’s presidential candidate — and that every effort should be made to indict those who can be charged as a result.

If true, such a thing has never happened before. It would represent a direct, unprecedented attack on our democracy, to fraudulently influence the voting public with lies ostensibly emanating as facts from a noble, traditionally trusted FBI. And that, indeed, would be a travesty of historical significance. One never to be repeated, we can hope, against any future president of either party.

Kevin R. Brock, former assistant director of intelligence for the FBI, was an FBI special agent for 24 years and principal deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).

The last place of Solomon’s employment reviewed his articles and found he was not credible.

Not they didn't. That's a lie.



I'll bet that's a lie, too.

And of course no answer to this.

What are your sources?

I have linked the 163 page report stated who wrote it. I have linked The Hill article stating Solomon is not credible.

Both are true.

When Solomon is on Hannity or Dobbs you should look at his title. He is not allowed to be called a reporter let alone a investigative reporter. He is a contributor and even when he wrote for The Hill there were alway OPINION pieces and The Hill still did thei due diligence and stated Solomon’s sources were not up to standard.

Head in the sand

Bull****. The review by The Hill found minor issues.

They didn't claim Solomon is "not credible."

Which is why you cited a link, not a direct quote.

He's a long time, award winning journalist of high integrity.

But his reporting is so devastating to your corrupt party that the Liberal Smear Machine is doing its best to slime him.

When Solomon is on Hannity or Dobbs you should look at his title. He is not allowed to be called a reporter let alone a investigative reporter.

No one with any common sense cares what he's called.

He is far and away the best investigative reporter in the entire country, held in high esteem by every conservative source I know of.

Here is an example of Solomon’s reporting:
In certain columns, Solomon failed to identify important details about key Ukrainian sources, including the fact that they had been indicted or were under investigation. In other cases, the sources were his own attorneys.

Make sure you call the Justice Dept and tell them to ignore the 100's of pages of evidence they got about widespread Democrat corruption there.:lol:

Blah, blah, blah.

Some conservatives are skeptical that there will be indictments issued by Barr.

I'm not one of them. Barr is deeply outraged, however temperate is words.

And it's very, very likely that political spying didn't start against Trump.

Widespread FISA abuse has been happening since 2012. Gosh, what happened that year? Oh, that's right an election.

I so look forward to Obama testifying under oath.:2razz:

And look at all the same cast of names involved in this criminal conspiracy. Maybe Mueller is indicted, too. Durham is investigating him and his prosecutors.

85% unlawful FISA-702(16)(17) database abuse has likely been happening since 2012.

2012 is an important date in this database abuse because a network of specific interests is assembled that also shows up in 2016/2017:

Who was 2012 FBI Director? Robert Mueller, who was selected by the FBI group to become special prosecutor in 2017.

Who was Mueller’ chief-of-staff? Aaron Zebley, who became one of the lead lawyers on the Mueller special counsel.

Who was 2012 CIA Director? John Brennan (remember the ouster of Gen Petraeus)

Who was ODNI? James Clapper.

Remember, the NSA is inside the Pentagon (Defense Dept) command structure. Who was Defense Secretary? Ash Carter

Who wanted NSA Director Mike Rogers fired in 2016? Brennan, Clapper and Carter.

And finally, who wrote and signed-off-on the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment and then lied about the use of the Steele Dossier? The same John Brennan, and James Clapper along with James Comey.

Tens of thousands of searches over four years (since 2012), and 85% of them are illegal. The results were extracted for?…. (I believe this is all political opposition use; and I’ll explain why momentarily.).....

There is little doubt the FISA-702(16)(17) database system was used by Obama-era officials, from 2012 through April 2016, as a way to spy on their political opposition.

Quite simply there is no other intellectually honest explanation for the scale and volume of database abuse that was taking place; and keep in mind these searches were all ruled to be unlawful. Searches for repeated persons over a period time that were not authorized.

When we reconcile what was taking place and who was involved, then the actions of the exact same principle participants take on a jaw-dropping amount of clarity.

Gee, I guess you finally understand why a non-reporter Fox News contributor John Solomon was outed.

Comey was fired because he openly talked about the OPEN Hillary Investigation. I guess those rules don’t apply toBarr and Durham?

The FISA issues def appear to be systemic, kinda makes it a big leap it was only done to the Trump campaign argumentThen you want to make the Obama 2012 assumption?

You are going to be severely disappointed with Barr and Durham, they do not care about justice, they only care about placating the President and his base.

McCabe and Hillary Clinton couldn’t even be charged by the Trump DOJ and Trump State Department.

Obama oversaw the attempt soft coup against a duly elected president; the Russian Collusion Hoax and the extensive and illegal spying on the Trump campaign and the Trump presidency.

Literally the biggest abuse of power in US history.

And where are the liberal MSM on this massive scandal? Ridiculing it as a "conspiracy theory" and actively covering it up.

FBI repeatedly warned Steele dossier fed by Russian misinformation, Clinton supporter
Newly declassified notes provide the most sweeping evidence to date that the Comey FBI ignored and kept from the courts red flags about problems with the Steele dossier.....

The suspect sources included a person described as a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton's campaign and a Russian intelligence figure under separate counterintelligence investigation by the FBI, the memos show. And the red flags included a warning that Russian intelligence appeared to be aware as early as July 2016 that Steele was working on a U.S. election-related investigation, making him susceptible to misinformation.

....Some of those red flags were raised prior to the bureau’s decision to rely on Steele’s dossier as key evidence in seeking the FISA warrant targeting the Trump campaign in the final days of the 2016 election, and nearly all were raised before Special Counsel Robert Mueller opened his probe in spring 2017.

For instance, FBI officials urged in 2015 that Steele undergo a re-evaluation as an informant (a “validation review,” in spy parlance) after the bureau’s transnational organized crime office learned that he had received contact from five Russian oligarchs, all of whom wanted to have contact with the bureau....

The two dozen newly declassified footnotes from the Horowitz report on Russia probe failures were provided to Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, on Wednesday, about two months after the senators first pressed for their declassifications. The two lawmakers expressed grave concerns about the FBI's conduct.

"As we can see from these now-declassified footnotes in the IG’s report, Russian intelligence was aware of the dossier before the FBI even began its investigation and the FBI had reports in hand that their central piece of evidence was most likely tainted with Russian disinformation,” Grassley and Johnson said Wednesday.

The memos provide the clearest picture to date that the FBI had numerous warnings it ignored, and kept from the FISA court, about Steele, including the likelihood that his dossier was used as a conduit for a Russian disinformation campaign....

“According to a document circulated among Crossfire Hurricane team members and supervisors in early October 2016, Person 1 had historical contact with persons and entities suspected of being linked to RIS,” the acronym for Russian Intelligence Services, one footnote stated. “The document described reporting [redacted] that Person 1 was rumored to be a former KBG/SVR officer.”

.....By Jan. 12, 2017, eight days before Trump had even taken office as president, the FBI had received clear warnings in a report that some of Steele’s dossier information about Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was “part of a Russian disinformation campaign to denigrate U.S. foreign relations.”....

The subsource “who provided the information about the Carter Page-Sechin meeting had a connection to Russian Intelligence Services,” a footnote stated.

A month later, the intelligence community provided further warnings to the FBI about Steele’s salacious claim about Trump having a sexual encounter with a prostitute in Moscow, suggesting it too was misinformation from Russian intelligence.

An intelligence community report dated Feb. 27, 2017 relayed that a source had “claimed that public reporting about the details of Trump’s sexual activities in Moscow during a trip in 2013 were false and that they were the product of RIS ‘infiltrating a source into the network' " that Steele had used to create his dossier.

By June 2017 as Mueller was starting his work as special counsel, the FBI got an intelligence community report warning again — this time that “two persons affiliated with RIS were aware of Steele’s election investigation in early July 2016” — raising the possibility he had been targeted for misinformation from the start, the records show.

During investigations when you receive new information you take it and investigate while still doing the overall investigation. Was Page charged? NO.

When you look at the individuals who were charged and either plead or were found guilty, many of the cooperated.

That is how investigators operate. If they didn’t want Trump all they had to do was leak the entire time and try to sway the election, but we all know that did not happen.

No, you cannot investigate a presidential campaign and a presidency on "information."

That is completely and utterly illegal; a scandal of historic proportion.

Further, most of the "information" they had they knew was outright bulls***, Russian disinformation or non-believable. At that point their legal obligation was to stop.

You have no clue what you're talking about.

Was Page charged? NO.

Once again completely and utterly missing the point. They illegally surveilled not only him but everyone he was in contact with and everyone one step beyond that, two years or so into the Trump presidency.

They were surveilling a legitimately elected president and everyone around him.

They didn't care about Page. They knew he was innocent. They were desperate to dig dirt on Trump, and when they couldn't find any, they tried to frame him.

Never, EVER in US history has that been done.

Now go ahead and write your usual nonsense.

Obama told the stunning lie that there were "no major scandals" during his administration, and the fawning toadies in the corrupt liberal MSM ate it up.

Aside from the hugely important IRS scandal that bullied, intimidated and harassed ordinary American citizens, preventing them from participating in the election and costing Trump four million votes, there was this;

The attempt soft coup against a duly elected president; the Russian Collusion Hoax and the extensive and illegal spying on the Trump campaign and the Trump presidency.

Literally the biggest abuse of power in US history.

Involving not only high officials at the most powerful agencies of government, but President Obama, who oversaw the entire thing and almost certainly initiated it.

But thankfully we have an Attorney General of great courage and integrity who is going to get to the bottom of it via his hard ass prosecutor John Durham.

This entire OP is the kind of alternate reality idiocy that one sees (daily) on far-right wing/alt-right conspiracy theory sites.

Not one word of it is objectively provable. In fact, almost every word of it is objectively false.
