Hold onto your hats. At last, we are on the verge of getting to the bottom of the weaponization of the nation’s top law enforcement and spy agencies to spy on political opponents, and it is far bigger than obtaining bogus FISA Court warrants to spy on Carter Page. Barack Obama’s minions have been spying on his political opponents since before his 2012 re-election, and the entire Russiagate hoax was an effort to cover-up that ongoing spying. (snip) In addition to his revelations about the true nature of the Russiagate hoax, there is another quiet bombshell he dropped

Last para is tantalizing, assuming that there is a John Huber:
“Joe DiGenova dropped one other bombshell that remains to be explored: that he believes that the NSA database contains the 30,000 emails that Hillary Clinton deleted from her server, and that the two US attorneys tasked with investigating the scandals will access those emails in the course of their investigations. Recall that US Attorney for Utah John Huber is investigating the handling of the dropped prosecution of her violations of national security law with her home brew server and possible crimes related to the Clinton Foundation, including presumably, the Uranium One acquisition of US uranium reserves by Russian interests and the massive donations to the Clinton Foundation.”
How long do we have to hold onto our hats?

Yes yes and hell yes. Remember, Obama was the guy who won his Illinois senate seat by unsealing the divorce proceedings of his opposition. Yea, the new kind of candidate above it all, a uniter...my backside. He's as dirty as they come and the quintessential insider of the Chicago school, disciple of Saul Alinsky fellow traveler with Bill Ayers.
Admiral Rogers is a genuine American hero. I can't wait for the contractors who were illegally harvesting the NSA database get named. Anybody want to take odds on Fusion GPS?
Remember how mystifying it was when Mittens just rolled over? Hmmm.

Ever wonder how when a Republican would start
anything that may be a problem for the Dems would suddenly have political problems? Every time?
This is the answer. They had any dirt on anyone.

January 2018 announcement;
"Robert Hannigan, a former director of GCHQ, has been named as one of six new members appointed to the Board of Trustees at Bletchley Park. The museum, which was home to the UK’s codebreaking operation during the Second World War, was a forerunner to the Government Communication Headquarters.
Sir John Scarlett, Chair of the Bletchley Park Trust, said: “We are delighted to welcome our latest group of new Trustees. Their appointment will further strengthen the Board and comes at an exciting time, as the museum prepares to open a significant new exhibition in a restored building this Easter. Our Trustees bring a wealth of experience in contemporary intelligence, cyber security and more, which will help enhance our understanding of how the work of Bletchley Park during the Second World War remains highly relevant to society in 2018.”

"and shared it with an unknown number of entities."
Now we're getting somewhere. The false FISA warrant was a legal risk but being caught in the spying process without the warrant is a greater crime. This is why some of the guilty parties were able to share some of their classified data with the NYT. This snake has many heads and it all leads back to the sleazy dicktater known as barack obama. This boy is as dirty as we have suspected from January of 2009. If not for Edward Snowden we would not have known just how down, dirty and leaky the NSA is. They DO have Hillary's e-mails and hopefully AG Barr can reach them before they are destroyed. We had a third world government and many of it's remnants are still in power.

That the Obama Administration started the Illegal NSA searches by non-governmental contractors in 2012 is spelled out clearly in the Judge Collyer judgement. FTA: ‘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.’ Their dirty linen is about to be aired.

Joe DiGenova also explained that the 4 FISA Warrants Sheila Jackson Lee said existed were illegal 702 searches on Manafort, Papadopoulos, Flynn and Carter Page. The confusion was caused by the limited power of Shiela’s brain.

This is the key pull quote and most DAMNING evidence that should be of GREAT CONCERN to every citizen:
"Private contractors with access to “raw FISA information that went well beyond what was necessary to respond to FBI’s requests”
Just WHO were these 'private contractors' and who did they work for? Did they have security clearances?
The top three persons involved with this were all guilty of trying to bring down the President's in concert with Hitlery Clinton, and NOW WE KNOW WHY-- something like the weaponization of those agencies against American citizens COULD NEVER BE EXPOSED so they were ALL IN for Madam Broomstick to keep all of this HIDDEN AWAY for fear it would completely ruin them and their corrupt game!!!
They are STILL playing deadly games to bring down the President to cover their butts!
Benjamin Franklin's quote comes immediately to mind: "I've lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing Proofs I see of this Truth — That God governs in the Affairs of Men".
The election of Donald Trump appears more and more as a stroke of Divine Providence that unless we see the investigation of the corruption uncovered thus far TO ITS END, we will by our lack of conviction ALLOW our Republic to fall due to the abdication of our responsibility as a nation to protect it for future generations.

This goes back to 2012 and has been referenced many times by conservative sources and nothing came from it. The media is refusing to see any of this now. In addition to that when it all hits the fan Republicans will feel it is too hot to handle and will run from it. I’ve seen this rodeo too many times to bite again on this hot mess. Some little guy will take a fall and the big fish will continue to spawn and live for another crime.

Re #13, FISA court judge Contreras was a longtime close personal friend of Peter Strzok. Contreras was also the judge who took Michael Flynn’s guilty plea; then recused himself (or was recused - this was never made clear) before Flynn’s sentencing hearing. He’d be worth a look.

All good info.
I have said repeatedly that the NSA has ALL of Hellary's e-mails, and that the first time
any properly 'warranted' legal request is made for them of the NSA, they will be produced.
If there is ever an actual, legitimate legal investigation into her misuse and abuse of the
e-mail server, and the prosecutor actually wants to get these emails, they are there
sitting on the NSA servers, like every other email ever sent.

We know it was a coup -- well-planned by our enemies, fed by anarchists on the long march through the institutions, and now endorsed by the media and unstable types who can be made to buy into "infanticide" as "a woman's right to choose." We know the leaders of the coup are traitors. Before they can be put away, our side must regain control of the language and the context for truth now. Otherwise you will have a hard time defining treason, coup, illegal, perversion, hate-speech, and other terms, for people who no longer think critically. Can you have treason without war? What does it mean to be un-American? Can you have treason if socialist-communists are running without objection for public office? Can you have treason with "no controlling legal authority" and "two separate realities?" Can you have treason when the Pope has condemned capitalism as evil, Trump as non-Christian, and these "traitors" fighting against that evil as heroes of the New World Order -- for which they stand? Define terms like treason in an American context now! Don't leave it to America-apostates and "Globalists" to define the legal rules of engagement .

People won't really pay attention until a few are indicted, or charged,
I would hope that someone could provide members of Congress with the CTH timeline and information so they're more up-to-date too.

Anyone else notice that the human motormouth who starts his sentences with I and ends each one with I, Ex-Dictator Obama has been as quiet as a mosque mouse about all of the spying and treasonous activities of all his communist henchmen and women during and after his dictatorship?
Quite out of character for this narcissistic creep. Speak up Obama, we can't hear you deny that you did not order all of this spying and directing of a coup to overthrow a duly elected President Trump. Speak up.

If the finger ever finally points at BO with clear evidence of his involvement and his guilt, he will lie, lie, lie and the dems and media will back him up. Further, he will lie convincingly, without obvious signs of falsehood. Beyond his constant vanity, the other thing that BO is consistent about is his ability to lie well. Unless something in hard copy comes out with clear statements or multiple people turn on him, BO will walk away, sullied, disgraced, and damaged but without significant consequence. The whole structure around a president is designed to keep his hands clean and his inner circle are his most dependable allies.

The so-called "State Department" is totally complicit i all these anti-American acts. It needs to be defunded and closed. State always sides with other nations instead of the US. Also, that is where it all started back in Bill Clinton's days and followed up by Hillary as SOS. Clean it out now and this crap will stop.

After reading a lot of info about this hoax, I thought that was I knew was pretty foul, but this story, if true, sinks it into the bottomless pit. The upper echelon deserves an orange jumpsuit apiece -- only because no one can go out and shoot them for treason. It is a horrible tragedy if any of these bottom feeding creatures gets away with it, like Hillary and Holder and Brennan have.

And where is the press? Even in the face of probably THE greatest abuse of federal power in US history, they shamelessly forgo big time Pulitzer Prize opportunities to defend their corrupt ideologies. True future history (if we ever have such a thing again) will not treat them well.

2012 eh? Brennan took over CIA in early 2013 from...wait for it...David Petraeus, who was involved in scandal. Also, Pope Benedict took an early retirement at this time and now we have a commie Pope. European (including Italian) intelligence was up to their eyeballs in this mess.

#6, I remember the campaign when Obama first ran. ALL you had to do was listen to him, as difficult as that was. You could hear the anti-American hatred of my beautiful country in his voice and words - even over the radio when you couldn't see him. He called the Constitution "flawed" and thought it should be re-written, probably by Himself I remember vividly telling everyone I could reach "PLEASE!. Do not vote for this creep! You don't have to take my word for it, just LISTEN!!! But, as usual, if you didn't like or trust him, it was only because he was black. (Such a tired argument). This creep had a race card in every pocket, and played them constantly. I pray every day that we we be spared of him from anymore damage. As for his precious legacy, I believe that his one and only legacy is going down in history as the absolute WORST President ever.

If Mueller and many (all?) of his team were on board with the spying pre-special counsel, why didn't they just lie in their report about the culpability of Mr. Trump and his campaign and subsequent administration? If they are liars to start with (and I believe they are), why didn't they just indict Mr. Trump (or provide evidence to do so)? What made them stop short of that? Rush was talking about this today. Never got to hear the end of the conversation.

#11, the contractors have been pervasive throughout the intel community for years. In one agency they made up one-third the manpower both here and overseas. And yes, they do have clearances. This is why I say go after the underlings. There will be some who will cut a deal and sing like canaries. That is, if they’re not already manning a weather igloo on the Arctic circle.

Did you ever wonder if Obama ever did get that coffee for Wm. Clinton and Edw. Kennedy, or if that was just their deeply held belief that he should? But for their ages, they well could been Grand Kleagels of their respective Chapters of the KKK. Robert Byrd would have completely understood. The Halfrican could have been the son of either of them.

Follow the money. The Uranium One deal was done in 2010. The spying began in 2012. What web was spun to keep any knowledge of who was involved in selling our secrets and Uranium to our enemies? Mueller was involved up to his neck in all of this and his attempt to put Trump in a perjury trap was the last grasping at straws to save all their necks. As Hillary said on the night of the election "If this guy gets elected we all hang." Let us hope she was right about something for a change.
