Last week, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe declassified information to the effect that U.S. intelligence agencies “obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee.” Ratcliffe also indicated at that time that CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama and others on the intelligence. Today Ratcliffe declassified documents relating to last week’s communication, including handwritten notes by John Brennan.

In a just world, Obama would be serving life in prison.

Here's our Govt in action: when evidence of criminal activity of those at the top finally is released, it is so fragmentary and minimal that it does nothing more than produce cover for the plotters. i.e., see! there was nothing wrong going on, nothing to worry about, your govt is good, your eyelids are growing very heavy, go back to sleep.

"One wonders, too: did anyone from the Obama administration ask Hillary Clinton about her alleged plan to smear Donald Trump? If so, it seems that no record survives; or, at least, no such record has become public."
Everything that goes to Hillary disappears. Democrats destroy everything!

We can talk about all this all we want. If the media puts it down the memory hole, nothing is gained unless arrests are made because the people who need to know it won't know it. Are arrests EVER going to be made?

This is like a mystery novel novel whose final page and paragraph is already known to every reader. The fact that affects our lives and future the most is that in spite of electing an alpha male President of our choice, NOTHING has happened in four years. And nothing is likely to happen. Consider what it means to the kind of country your children and grandchildren will be living in and then go to the polls.

"no record survives"
Of course not. Beyond constant bogus attacks on Trump, BO and Hillary allies have been busy scrubbing the worst records behind the scenes. The whole thing stinks. The gaps and missing records will be obvious but there will be insufficient evidence for a criminal case. The dems attitude is, if I'm not convicted and in jail I didn't do anything wrong. Morals and ethics have been abandoned by dems and they have no shame. While law is important to societal structure it is only part of the whole. It is impossible to completely place ethical and moral behavior in a legal framework. For example, if a politician blatantly lies, unless they are under oath, there is no legal accountability. Harry Reid flagrantly lied about Rummey's taxes and was proud of it. Dems keep electing similar politicians to office and it has made dealing with dems impossible because they are not honest brokers, in anything.
Of course BO knew. The dems don't care if he was in the muck up to his big ears. They hate Trump and anything was justified. Hillary's actions were dirty politics but it was BO's GOVERNMENT spying and supporting her actions that was illegal. There will be talk. It will be pretty obvious what they were doing. Critical records will be absent. They have had 4 years to get rid of them.

4, probably an arrest will be made. It will be Comey's office janitor who, at three a.m. on September, 12, 2016, used Comey's computer to check on the status of a used car loan. He's the only one who will go to prison while the actual criminals continue to be rewarded. Senate Republicans will bloviate their arrogance and brag about finally getting to the bottom of things and Hannity will sell a crap ton of pillows because of it. Rinse, repeat ad infinitum.

It appears that Obie is, in fact, in deep doodoo.
However, FTA we have - "One wonders, too: did anyone from the Obama administration ask Hillary Clinton about her alleged plan to smear Donald Trump? If so, it seems that no record survives; or, at least, no such record has become public."
I would expect that Obie asked her. Let's see which of Billary's records survived. In the legal profession, the term "email" stand for eternal email.
Regardless, if the msm chooses to continue to covering up Spygate, some optimism now that some of Obie's people and possibly Obie himself are about to go down. I wonder what is going on over at AG Barr's and Durham's offices the past few days? About to unseal those indictments, gents?

Laura had some dweeb on last night who was attempting to proclaim that the American people are tired of hearing about the events surrounding the 2016 election and the Russian hoax.
In truth, we are tired of watching Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Comey, Mueller, Strock, Struck and Page walking around and smiling like they were not criminals. Get those jumpsuits fitted and get on with it! The guilty need to be imprisoned or we will soon tell you where you can shove your laws.

Seems to me that the Republicans are working on a little October surprise, which could be well played. However, we all know the MSM will bury this and bring forward another several fake Trump scandals to distract from any of this. Once again, I hate to be Debbie Downer, but this will go nowhere. We need to be focused on Trump winning and nothing else.

HillBill and Obie One cooked up this plan to pin the DNC hack on PDJT. That is clear. But what is not clearly defined is whether Russia did the hack or if the DNC hacked themselves. What if this whole CRIME was a fraud from start to finish? Why was Marc Rich murdered for no apparant reason at all. Did he discover the truth about the hack? Maybe he was the hacker.

The question on most people’s minds is what happens if after all this information is declassified along with what we already know and then absolutely no one is held accountable. What then? Just a big ol’ never mind? That is not going to work for law abiding citizens who have been paying attention. When the government refuses to do its duty what is the recourse from we the people? With a judiciary that can’t be counted on to be impartial, we don’t have many options. From where I sit, it looks like, once again, the elites skate. They have become insanely wealthy at our expense and have control of a government that is powerless to stop its own corruption. So we just swallow hard and carry on as if nothing happened? We, the tax payer, get to watch these criminals play their games, collect their spoil, while they never have to worry about the law. That is the kind of situation that foments rebellion. When the government is openly corrupt, Americans have a duty to demand better.

Sad that the general population of America know little or nothing about any of this since the predominant media isn't reporting it. Media bias is the ruin of our freedoms.

I doubt anything of significance will be done to the various "players" in the Obama administration for their actions against a presidential candidate, the President-elect, and then sitting President. Does that disappoint me? Of course it does. But I don't trust government.

There's a lot of people waking up, but if you've been following politics like we have for 3 decades, it's hard to relay all the criminal and treacherous activity that's been going on, without sounding like a spy thriller author! The left has no morals and most people can't fathom the how much evil exists.

If this wasn't so sad and angering it would be a funny farce! This "released and declassified" document is over 4 years old and most of it is still covered in black bars! Trump supposedly has now "declassified" everything ... so re-release this document without the black bars!
Who is being protected ... and why?
If this evil covenant of warlocks & witches were plotting to undo a POTUS we need to know that. Now!

All this is so far out of kilter that if you have a knowing brain it should be evident to you that Hillary Clinton, her campaign, with a wink and a nod from Barack Obama, Joseph Biden, and their politically appointed supporters at the heads of the CIA, and the FBI, and some Democrats in the Congress, who consider themselves to be all self important DC insiders, were out to sabotage the Trump campaign from the get-go, to keep the DC outsider Donald Trump, who they could not control, from being elected President, in accordance with their bogus Russian “collusion” scenario.
Then after Trump was elected and inaugurated to have him removed from office by hook or by crook, using essentially the same fraudulent politically based game plan, by way of the so-called Robert Mueller, Jerald Nadler, and Adam Schiff led inquisitions, that in one form or another continue to this day, slandering Trump, costing the US Government a huge amount of money and wasted time. If DC were not completely politically corrupt, especially within the Democrat party of “big government” and their bureaucratic flunkies, that Banana Republic coup try should have been made public and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law years ago. One thing about the high level bureaucrats, they would not have dared to do what they did outside the law, regulations, and established policies if they had not been granted an OK in the form of a wink and a nod from the highest level of the Obama-Biden Administration, that is just common sense.

Thank the Good Lord for John Ratcliffe, and now last evening President Trump “declassified” ALL documents surrounding this fraud and tyranny against We the People...
#15, think you mean Seth Rich. And if all y’all want to read more Truth of all this and the international connections, get citizen journalist’s, George Webb’s new book from Amazon for 1.99, “Corona 911.”

It was a Hellary paid for coup attempt, aided and abetted, even led by Obama's FBI, CIA, DoJ and all with Obama and Biden's full approval.
It's just that simple. It went all the way to the top -- and the Enemedia will NOT report these facts.

If that's the entire bombshell text with all that redaction a defense attorney can wave that off with slight hand movement. That's not damning or compelling evidence. This is the reason when or if the AG goes after the cabal of thieves and liars he has to have his evidence rock solid not some heavily redacted document as seen here.

Amen, #13: even Fox News. Yesterday on the Five, all they talked about was COVID-19 and masks, with Juan ranting about how reckless the President was/is regarding masks and social distancing. Jessie Waters casually mentioned the Brennan notes and subsequent memo to Comey, but if you weren't paying attention, it passed like a summer breeze.
Only Satan and his evil spawn could have dreamed up a strategic diversion like COVID 19 and the BLM/Antifa riots. As a result, the MSM and the American public are focused elsewhere while the biggest political and treasonous scandal in our history plays out.

Obama will skate. He could commit murder on live TV and the networks would applaud. But don't think for a Kenyan minute he won't through Hillary so far under the bus that she'll roll forever.

I always wondered why Obama rented a house in DC after his term was over....he was convinced the Steele dossier would eliminate President Trump and hillary could take over....now... stay with me.... if the swamp headed by hillary could unseat President Trump by default... then she thought she could win...and Obama was close by to help.... just a thought...

Tell me about the arrests for sedition. I want to hear about the indictments for treason.
THAT is the only thing that interests me now. I know enough to know that about 2 to 3 dozen high ranking Obama FBI, CIA and DoJ officials used the powers of their office to try to stop Trump from being elected, and when that failed, mounted a coup attempt by criminal means of abusing their government powers. These people should be in prison. In an older USA they would have been hung.

He knew about it before he left office, as did Biden. Both should be serving time keeping Hitlery company in federal prison, and not the country club prison.
