The Real Origins Of Spygate, Part 1

sunbeam May 30, 2019 Comments Off

To get into the big picture about the origins of Spygate, there is a lot that one needs to ignore. Allowing oneself to get caught up in emotion, whether it be righteous anger or unbridled outrage, will lead to being distracted from the real origins of the attacks against this country and this administration.

Not that there is nothing here to be outraged or upset over. There is much here that makes the blood boil. It is difficult to know where to start.

Democrats Scramble

Now that declassification has been announced, what can be expected from the Democrats? Keep in mind that the potential legal exposure of members of the Obama administration is considerable. Already there is a scramble to deflect blame by some of the chief participants in the Russia narrative hoax.

Declassification Specs

On Thursday night PDJT issued a memo which gave AG Barr specific powers and marching orders relating to declassifying matters relevant to the Russia investigation and its origins. What exactly is the authority that PDJT has delegated to AG Barr?

To understand this one first has to understand what the President’s authority is on classification and declassification. The President has the power to classify and declassify anything. This makes sense since he is the commander-in-chief. Independent experts as well as experts on both sides of the aisle agree concerning this legal power of the president. Whether such actions are wise or not is another story.

Normal classification and declassification duties are usually performed by people lower in the food chain so to speak. This is because they have been delegated to do so, usually by an appointee chosen by the President. These kinds of activities take place in many different departments within the federal government.

Cold Anger

Bill Whittle summarizes the corruption of the Obama administration and what followed. He lays it out item by item. Bill Whittle doesn’t say “Cold Anger” but what he expresses, the anger, the frustration and the resolve, is exactly that.

This has not been just an attempted coup to bring down PDJT. The coup attempt is trying to hide the corruption of many elite pols. PDJT was and is a threat to them and their cash cows!

EXPLOSIVE DAY!!!

Thursday was an interesting day. Over in Italy it is reported that Prime Minister Giuseppe Conté has requested the resignations of six top Italian intelligence officials. The resignation requests are being interpreted as a reaction to the possible exposing of collusion with U.S. intelligence officials during the 2016 U.S. election in the operation now known as “Spygate.”

Keep in mind that Conté is the head of a new government, one that was not in place in 2016. Also keep in mind that Joseph Mifsud, who had largely disappeared from public view, had been found in Rome. Mifsud is closely linked to George Papadopoulos and the “Spygate” schemes that were hatched overseas.

FBI Fantasies

Eric Felten over at Real Clear Investigations has written a piece that provides a clear insight into the mindsets and attitudes of those who were running theFBI and DOJ departments during the Obama administration.

AG Barr has started to investigate spying. However, as Felten points out, spying is just one of possible multiple violations of investigative rules and ethics committed by agents, lawyers, managers, and officials at the FBI and the DOJ.

For three years (2016-2018), Bill Priestap was assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, which meant he oversaw the FBI’s global counterintelligence efforts.

Felten takes a deep dive into the testimony that Priestap provided to Congress in a closed-door interview in the summer of 2018. Priestap’s testimony provides a “rare insight into the attitudes and thoughts of officials who launched the Russia probe and the probe of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.”

Spying On A President Is Normal

sunbeam May 13, 2019 1 Comment

Are the Democrats trying to convince the public that spying on a presidential campaign is routine? Are they doing this because they know that damning information is going to be released in the near future about the spying that the Obama administration did on opposition candidates? That such spying may go all the way back to 2012?

Are the Democrats so deranged that they are trying to make it seem like it is normal to do this, that it is no big deal? And that the public should just go about their business because there is nothing to be seen here?

Enough Is Enough

Two years of innuendo, leaks, “bombshell” announcements, etc. The Deep State led by Democratic operatives has tried to make it clear that they are in charge in this country. They have tried to send a message that anyone who stands in their way is a target. They will smear them, bankrupt them, run them out of restaurants, shoot them on a ball field, etc.

During the Mueller investigation PDJT gave the investigation unprecedented access to White House advisers and staff. Transparency was the norm not an exception. This was a far cry from the Obama administration that blocked investigations at every turn.

In the end the Special Counsel (SC) declined to pursue charges against any American for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 election. However, he failed in his duty to decide on the question of “obstruction.” Although the investigation was not impeded in any way, although no criminal conduct was uncovered, Mueller could not make the binary decision of “Yes PDJT obstructed” or “No PDJT Did Not.” (See Emmett Flood letter). The report is legally defective. So the AG and Deputy AG Rosenstein reviewed the SC info and made that determination. No obstruction.

Barr Cited For Refusing To Break Law

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) outlines the political motives of Jerry Nadler (Chair-House Judiciary Committee) and his fellow Democrats in moving to cite AG Barr for contempt of Congress. As Jordan states forcefully, Barr was being cited because he refused to break the law.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent

In America a person is presumed innocent until the prosecution can convince a judge or jury that that person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors do not “prove people innocent.” They do not exonerate them. Prosecutors either present evidence to a grand jury for indictments or they decline to do so. They either charge a person or they don’t. It is a binary decision that they must make. If they decline to charge, the individual is innocent as a matter of law.

SC Mueller did not make the binary decision he was charged with making. He did not do what the SC regulations required him to do.

Emmett Flood, White House Counsel, has taken the time to point out the defects in the Special Counsel’s Report in a letter to the DOJ.

Flood stated,
