Continuing to recap the truth around the criminal activity that occurred during PDJT’s first campaign for the presidency. Sundance over at CTH indicates there is one person who, so far, has managed to escape scrutiny for her role in all of this. Her name is Mary McCord. Just what was McCord’s role in all of this activity?
According to Sundance, McCord is at the center of the manufactured cases against PDJT during his campaign and his first term in office. And BTW McCord’s husband is Sheldon Snook. Snook was the right hand to the legal counsel of Chief Justice John Roberts.
Let’s be reminded that the FBI needed “evidence” to be presented to the FISA Court in order to get the needed Title-1 surveillance warrant. They were attempting to manufacture a case. There was no there there. Let’s also be reminded that the target, Carter Page, had worked for the government as an informant on a case where certain “diplomats” had been ejected from the country as a direct result of his work.
When the Carter Page FISA application was originally assembled by the FBI and DOJ, there was initial hesitancy from within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) (John Carlin) about submitting the application. The reason? It did not have enough citations in evidence (the infamous ‘Woods File’). A June 2016 attempt to get such a surveillance warrant had been rejected for the lack of sufficient evidence.
That had to be a shock to the perpetrators of this sham. Almost no requests for such warrants are turned down.
That’s why the Steele Dossier ultimately became important. It was the Steele Dossier that provided the push, the legal cover needed for the DOJ-NSD to submit the application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against Carter Page and thereby against the campaign of Donald J. Trump. Of course, the application conveniently never mentioned that Carter Page had worked for the government as an informant.
Who finished the process and actually submitted the application to the court? Mary McCord. McCord had replaced Carlin a few weeks before. Previously McCord had been Deputy Asst Attorney General. This is item #1.
In February, 2017, who went with Deputy AG Sally Yates to inform the White House over the bogus case against Michael Flynn? Mary McCord. The surveillance of Flynn’s calls was presumably done under the auspices and legal authority of the FISA application Mary McCord previously was in charge of submitting. This is item #2.
At the time the Carter Page application was filed (October 21, 2016), Mary McCord’s chief legal counsel inside the office was a DOJ-NSD lawyer named Michael Atkinson. In his role, Atkinson was the DOJ internal compliance officer in charge of making sure all FISA applications were correctly assembled and documented. The bogus Steele dossier had to have been reviewed by Atkinson. This dossier was known by the FBI to be full of “nonsense” but was used anyway. This is item #3.
Fast forward to the Ukraine phone call impeachment. This occurred because the Intelligence Community Inspector General changed the rules for the complaint to allow an anonymous submission. Prior to this change, all intelligence whistleblowers had to put their name on the complaint.
Why was this change made? The rules were changed to hide the fact that the whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella, wasn’t even part of the infamous phone call. Hence, in the traditional sense, he couldn’t be a whistle blower. Who was on that call? Alexander Vindman, who knew the complaint was bs.
Who was the Intelligence Community Inspector General? Michael Atkinson.
Who did Atkinson turn the complaint over to in the joint House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee (Schiff and Nadler chairs)? If you guessed Mary McCord, you are catching on the incestuous nature of what was transpiring here.
After McCord left the DOJ, she took the job of working for Chairman Jerry Nadler and Chairman Adam Schiff as the chief legal advisor inside the investigation that led to the construction of the first articles of impeachment. This is item #4.
During his investigation of the Carter Page application, Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered an intentional lie inside the Carter Page FISA application. Eventually Kevin Clinesmith, an FBI lawyer, was criminally charged with fabricating evidence.
When John Durham took the Clinesmith indictment to court, the judge in the case was James Boasberg. Yes, this is the same judge who has been outted as being anti-Trump.
In addition to being a DC criminal judge, James Boasberg is also a FISA court judge. Boasberg signed-off on one of the renewals for the FISA application that was submitted using fraudulent evidence fabricated by Kevin Clinesmith. In essence, Boasberg was the FISC judge who was tricked by Clinesmith, and was now the criminal court judge in charge of determining Clinesmith’s legal outcome. Why didn’t Boasberg recuse himself? Judge Boasberg eventually sentenced Clinesmith to 6 months probation.
As a result of continued FISA application fraud and wrongdoing by the FBI, in their exploitation of illegal searches of the NSA database, presiding FISC Judge James Boasberg appointed an amici curiae advisor to the court who would monitor the DOJ-NSD submissions and ongoing FBI activities.
Who did James Boasberg select as a FISA court amicus? Mary McCord. This is just ludicrous. Boasberg appointed the person who initially submitted the fraudulent filing, to advise on any ramifications from the fraudulent filing. This is item #5.
Here is Sundance’s summary of all of this.
♦ SUMMARY: Mary McCord submitted the original false FISA application to the court using the demonstrably false Dossier. Mary McCord participated in the framing of Michael Flynn. Mary McCord worked with ICIG Michael Atkinson to create a fraudulent whistleblower complaint against President Trump; and Mary McCord used that manipulated complaint to assemble articles of impeachment on behalf of the joint House Intel and Judiciary Committee. Mary McCord then took up a defensive position inside the FISA court to protect the DOJ and FBI from sunlight upon all the aforementioned corrupt activity.
With a truly free press, this kind of information would be front page news and the news cycle for this would be never ending. Instead, the information seeps onto the Internet where it gets passed from one place to another just a books and pamphlets on freedom and liberty in the old Soviet Union.
