Hate break it to you but you’re now supporting a Russian agent.

Hey, at least he didn't get played like a fiddle by Russian operatives, tbh...

Plus, if we're being frank, while Mueller certainly didn't find collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign (which obviously leaves Trump off the hook), he did find evidence of Russia interfering in the election, and that in and of itself is concerning to our democratic process.

I'll also add that it's not just Russia that concerns me, but countries like Saudi Arabia too.

trump team was approached and they welcomed it...

”russia if you are listening...”

jr trump : “if its what you say it is- I love it - lets meet!”

then later when questioned - they denied, lied, obfuscated, and continued their collusion


manafort and gates delivered polling data and hrc stolen files to a russian intel agent and gates testified under oath


why are you still posting russian propaganda when the facts cannot be changed?

What do y'all think of Flynn advising Trump on NATSEC while being in the pay of Turkey, undisclosed?

What do you think was the rationale for Barr and Trump pushing for lenience for Halkbank?


Barr personally spearheaded an effort last year to negotiate a settlement with the bank that would have allowed it to sidestep an indictment after Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, pressed Trump in a bid to avoid charges. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/15/politics/william-barr-roger-stone-prosecutors-outrage/index.html



Did it strike either of you as unusual that Trump let Erdogan screen anti-Kurd propaganda in the West Wing?

Trump's submissiveness to Turkey raises eyebrows, one wonders whether it might have anything to do with Turkey already having compromised Mike Flynn, or Trump's business interests in Turkey.

The investigation started before the dossier, darrin. It started because of papadopolous. They were investigating whether there was a conspiracy. Very different than what is happening with Sanders.

Trumps campaign was separately briefed in the summer about the potential of Russians spying or infiltrating his campaign and he was instructed to report any suspicious overtures to their campaign. Trump tower meeting may have been a good thing to disclose, for starters

The Russian Trolls’ Next Favorite Candidate

Americans don’t need Russia’s polarizing influence operations. They are plenty good enough at dividing themselves.

https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/sfiVXlLrMJlrWxUFsF9ssmhciiw=/720x405/media/img/mt/2020/02/0220_Gilsinan_Martin_Russia2020Election/original.jpg

In 2016, the Kremlin invested heavily in creating memes and Facebook ads designed to stoke Americans’ distrust of the electoral system and one another.

Now, after nearly four years under a president whose divisive rhetoric and policies have inflamed voter anger on issues such as race, inequality, and his own conduct,

the Russian government is still interfering, but it doesn’t need to do much creative work anymore.

The taco-truck video wasn’t fabricated in some St. Petersburg workshop. It was a real video of a real incident, made in America—and

all Russia had to do was help it spread with its Twitter trolls.

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, are both polarizing figures—and they’re both candidates Russian trolls sought to promote in 2016, as Special Counsel Robert Mueller found (https://www.justice.gov/file/1035477/download).

professor who has studied Russian information operations, told me,

“Systems like this don’t tend to stop simply because their reason for being no longer exists.

They find new reasons for being.”

In this case, building on their 2016 successes and worsening divisions in the United States.

Responding to news of Russian interference,

Trump sends chilling message to U.S. intelligence community

Intelligence officers pride themselves as

apolitical fact-finders who follow the rule of “speak truth to power.”

But President Trump has tacked on a new coda: “Do so at your peril.”

Trump has reminded members of the intelligence community that he views the information they bring him through a deeply personal lens.

Trump responded not by rejecting Russia’s interference or pressing his officials to work harder to deter it,

but by telling Maguire and another senior career intelligence official present that they were being “played,”

Maguire was told to vacate his office at the DNI’s headquarters in Virginia by 10 a.m. the next morning,

"In this administration, good men and women don’t last long,”

“Joe was dismissed for doing his job: overseeing the dissemination of intelligence to elected officials who needed that information to do their jobs,”

“Since the day Trump took office,

we’ve had a president who has made clear to everyone around him that

if you do things he doesn’t like, there are going to be swift and public consequences,”

Trump’s violent reactions could encourage his advisers to withhold unsettling information.

There is talk of “trying to hide” stuff

“Some people believe

the president can’t be trusted with this politically sensitive information anymore. :lol anymore? :lol

There’s a sense that he’s installing his guy [Grenell] and

they’re going to come in and try to look for stuff, and

they’re not trustworthy.”

Trump intends to exert more political control over the intelligence community.

Trump “has installed a new acting DNI to protect himself and

interfere politically in the crucial work of the intelligence community,

leaving our elections more vulnerable to foreign interference than ever.” :lol Pootin LMFAO

Trump loyalist, Kash Patel, into a senior advisory position at the intelligence director’s office further cemented that impression.

Patel, a former aide to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) :lol ... has infuriated CIA and FBI personnel over

his efforts to prove a conspiracy in the intelligence community to bring down the president by investigating his campaign’s possible ties to Russia in 2016.

acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney not to discuss the subject with the president because

it would make him angry, :lol

“The entire executive branch is spooked right now because election interference in his mind is about him,” :lol mind? :lol

“So you can’t do anything that isn’t essentially under the radar, or you might end up blowing up the effort.”

on North Korea or Russia, he will not accept their facts if they are contrary to his intentions.

Trump is purging the ranks of advisers he believes won’t strongly defend him.

Johnny McEntee ... has asked agencies to tell him about appointees (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/were-cleaning-it-out-trump-embarks-on-expansive-search-for-disloyalty-as-administration-wide-purge-escalates/2020/02/21/870e6c56-54c1-11ea-b119-4faabac6674f_story.html?tid=lk_inline_manual_61&itid=lk_inline_manual_61) who are opposed to the president,

“We want bad people out of our government!” :lol Then Trash, you should resign

Trump accused of hiding Russia documents until they can be destroyed

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/trumprussians.jpg


coming under increasing fire from historians and activists for keeping documents about his meetings with foreign leaders — including Russian officials — and immigration-related documents out of the public eye until they can be destroyed.

, “Historians and activists charge that the White House has

failed to keep notes of the president’s meetings with foreign leaders,

including with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that other papers,

including records of alleged abuses of undocumented immigrants, could be destroyed,” before adding,

“Immigration activists fear that records relating to the treatment of undocumented immigrants —

including detainee deaths, complaints about medical conditions and alleged sexual assault and abuse of detainees —
could be destroyed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”

“Historians are fighting on another front with the Trump administration:

over the preservation or, in some cases, the creation of presidential records.

President Trump is reportedly averse to having note-takers present at his meetings with foreign leaders and

is said to have torn up some notes (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/10/trump-papers-filing-system-635164), in violation of the Presidential Records Act (https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html).”

Declassified FBI memos undercut Mueller team claims that Papadopoulos hindered Russia probe

According to Zelinksy, Rhee, and Goldstein’s August 17, 2018 sentencing memo filed with U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss, “the defendant’s false statements were intended to harm the investigation, and did so.” Papadopoulos’ “lies negatively affected the FBI’s Russia investigation," they argued, "and prevented the FBI from effectively identifying and confronting witnesses in a timely fashion.”

The FBI interview memos, however, paint a far different picture. They show, for example, that Papadopoulos expressed his willingness to participate actively in helping the bureau locate Mifsud personally even before Feb. 10, 2017.

In a Feb. 1, 2017 interview, for instance, Papadopoulos is quoted as telling agents he “could potentially meet with Mifsud” during a planned trip to London. This offer was never mentioned in the two court documents filed by Zelinsky, Rhee, and Goldstein.

In the same interview, Papadopoulos told the FBI that Mifsud “had recently reached out to him,” and “indicated that he may be traveling to Washington, DC in February 2017.”

Similarly, in his Feb. 10, 2017, interview with the FBI, Papadopoulos “provided that Mifsud recently reached out to him via email, and advised that he was in Washington, DC at the time of this interview.” This too was omitted from the plea agreement and the sentencing memo.

Russian Election Trolling Becoming Subtler, Tougher To Detect

A cache of Instagram posts captured by researchers showed that the Russians were "better at impersonating candidates" and that influence-mongers "have moved away from creating their own fake advocacy groups to mimicking and appropriating the names of actual American groups,"

identified 32 Instagram accounts they said appeared to be linked to Russia's now-infamous Internet Research Agency, of which 31 later were confirmed to be IRA-linked by an analysis commissioned by Facebook, which owns Instagram.

interference activity endures at a steady state.

the efforts targeting the 2020 vote continue many of the trends exhibited earlier.

Russian influence operations are aimed at sowing chaos and amplifying division as much as bringing about a specific political result

the intent to divide them or convince them not to vote,

"The IRA is well-versed enough in the history and culture of our politics to exploit sharp political divisions already existing in our society," Kim wrote.

"American nationalism/patriotism, immigration, gun control and LGBT issues were the top five issues frequently discussed in the IRA's campaigns."

Veterans, working-class whites in rural areas and nonwhites, "especially African Americans," also were especially targeted,

Lack of candor does not equal misleading. Misleading implies unequivocally stating a false position. Lack of candor implies the opposite, an omission that could be considered dishonest.

I'll save you the followup question: "how are they any different?"

The difference is that omissions can be voluntary or involuntary, so it's much more difficult to prove there was dishonest intent. That's why the IG, while it concluded that the procedure itself was questionable because there were omissions and requires adjustments to deal with such such situations, didn't actually conclude that there was provable dishonesty from the actual involved parties.

On the other hand, if you're accused of misleading, it means you affirmatively lied to the court. Hope the distinction is clear enough.

bottom line is this:

the russians understand the American legal system.
They see this case as a chance to uncover the mueller teams methods/sources and investigative techniques- through discovery and the unveiling of classified info

which - if you are an american on trial - is perfectly legal to do. You have a right to all of the evidence to properly defend yourself.

If you are russia - you know you wont allow any american court to actually prosecute your indicted criminals-

but it is a great opportunity to game the system and get all the classified info legally

the DOJ - for once in the Barr era - is actually protecting muellers classified info/evidence by one-upping the russians if they just drop the case

ending the russian ploy.

AG William Barr says Russia probe was started ‘without basis’

Attorney General William Barr believes the Russia investigation that shadowed President Donald Trump for the first two years of his administration was started without any basis and amounted to an effort to “sabotage the presidency,” he said in an interview with Fox News Channel that aired Thursday.

Barr offered no support for his assertion that the FBI lacked a basis for opening the investigation and made no mention of the fact that the bureau began its probe after a Trump campaign adviser purported to have early knowledge that Russia had dirt on Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

Barr, who has appointed a U.S. Attorney to lead an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, said the Justice Department has evidence there was “something far more troubling” than just mistakes during the investigation that eventually morphed into special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

“I think the president has every right to be frustrated because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history,” Barr said in the interview with Fox News Channel’s Laura Ingraham.

The attorney general said the FBI launched its counterintelligence investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia “without any basis.”

“Even more concerning, actually, is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events while he was president,” Barr said. “To sabotage the presidency, and I think that — or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency.”

=======================

The inspector general’s report identified significant problems with applications to receive and renew warrants to monitor the communications of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page in 2016 and 2017. Investigators were concerned about Page’s ties to Russia but never charged him with any wrongdoing. Inspector General Michael Horowitz told senators the FBI failed to follow its own standards for accuracy and completeness when it sought warrants from the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to monitor Page’s communications.

The report detailed 17 errors and omissions during those wiretap applications, including failing to tell the court when questions were raised about the reliability of some of the information it had presented to receive the warrants. Those mistakes prompted internal changes within the FBI and spurred a congressional debate over whether the bureau’s surveillance tools should be reined in.

But Barr believes they were more than just mistakes, offering a personal view of the probe, a highly unusual move for a prosecutor in an ongoing investigation.

“My own view is that the evidence shows that we’re not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness,” he said. “There is something far more troubling here, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it.

Barr, who has appointed a U.S. Attorney to lead an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, said the Justice Department has evidence there was “something far more troubling” than just mistakes during the investigation that eventually morphed into special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

“I think the president has every right to be frustrated because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history,” Barr said in the interview with Fox News Channel’s Laura Ingraham.

The attorney general said the FBI launched its counterintelligence investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia “without any basis.”

“Even more concerning, actually, is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events while he was president,” Barr said. “To sabotage the presidency, and I think that — or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency.”

=======================

The inspector general’s report identified significant problems with applications to receive and renew warrants to monitor the communications of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page in 2016 and 2017. Investigators were concerned about Page’s ties to Russia but never charged him with any wrongdoing. Inspector General Michael Horowitz told senators the FBI failed to follow its own standards for accuracy and completeness when it sought warrants from the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to monitor Page’s communications.

The report detailed 17 errors and omissions during those wiretap applications, including failing to tell the court when questions were raised about the reliability of some of the information it had presented to receive the warrants. Those mistakes prompted internal changes within the FBI and spurred a congressional debate over whether the bureau’s surveillance tools should be reined in.

But Barr believes they were more than just mistakes, offering a personal view of the probe, a highly unusual move for a prosecutor in an ongoing investigation.

“My own view is that the evidence shows that we’re not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness,” he said. “There is something far more troubling here, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it.

Barr trying to cover his criminal ass -

IG took the whistleblower report to the DOJ -

DOJ buried it immediately and hoped it would go away like all of their other cover ups -

Nope -

the IG happened to have integrity and reported it to Congress -

now

Criminal Barr is trying to spin it - no different than his criminal boss and no different than his complicit cult - like TSA -

simple to see the cover ups - but they sure work hard spinning the simplest trump/barr crimes into something

nefarious from the DEEEEEP STATE!!!!!

Under federal law, a member of the intelligence community may file a complaint with the inspector general if it relates to a matter of “urgent concern.” The law defines a matter of urgent concern as a problem relating to “an intelligence activity within the responsibility of the Director of National Intelligence.”

The complaint Atkinson sent to Congress was about a diplomatic phone call, not an “intelligence activity.” It did not fall under the jurisdiction of the director of national intelligence. The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel issued a memorandum explaining that point.

Thus, it did not qualify as a valid whistleblower complaint. Atkinson either failed to understand the law or decided to ignore it.

Strike one for Atkinson.

Another law states that the inspector general should refer the complaint—even if it was not a valid whistleblower complaint—to the Justice Department for investigation. Atkinson did not do that.

Strike two.

The law also requires the inspector general to determine whether the complaint is credible. At the time Atkinson received the complaint, long-standing department policy required, for good reason, that a complaint be based on firsthand information—not hearsay—to be considered credible.

That was not the case with the complaint Atkinson greenlighted. The supposed “whistleblower” was not involved in the phone call between Trump and Zelenskyy, didn’t work in the White House at the time the call was made, and clearly had a political ax to grind against Trump.

Despite all of his knowledge being thirdhand, Atkinson deemed his complaint to be credible anyway.

Strike three.

Usually with three strikes, you’re out. But Atkinson kept swinging—and missing.

When asked about how he made his credibility determination, Atkinson admitted that he never reviewed the White House memorandum describing the content of the call between Trump and Zelenskyy.

Strike four.

When the press asked Atkinson why he violated the policy, he acknowledged that the policy prohibited him from deeming the report credible, but said he changed the policy after receiving the complaint.

Strike five.

Perhaps realizing that he had backed himself into a corner, Atkinson tried to spin his way out.

He said that, regardless of what was written down, the true policy actually always had been the opposite; that is, complaints were totally fine, even if they were not based on firsthand information. And anyway, Atkinson continued, the complainant checked a box on a form that said he had firsthand information, even though the body of the complaint made it obvious he didn’t.

There are several ways to slice this, and none make Atkinson look good.

He either allowed a defunct policy to sit on the books for years, disregarded an established policy for political ends, or didn’t do his job with the care required from the inspector general of the intelligence establishment, one of the most important functions of the executive branch when it comes to the nation’s security.

Strike six.

[TSA]

AG Barr just signaled that things are about to get ugly for the Russia collusion team

“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.

Is the AG’s assessment fair? The answer is entwined in his next statement: “Without any basis [the FBI] started this investigation into [Donald Trump’s] campaign ... .”

Oops, stop again right there. Mr. Barr is making a definitive statement about that which many of us have speculated all along, namely that the weirdly unprecedented investigative team put together by former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe did not have adequate legal reasons to open a case into the Trump campaign in the first place. The attorney general just confirmed that.

But wait a minute, doesn’t that directly contradict DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s assertion that the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation was justified?

Two things to keep in mind regarding that inconsistency.


First, remember that IG Horowitz reached two primary and controversial conclusions: 1) that there was adequate justification for starting the investigation, and 2) that there was no “evidence” of political bias as a motivating factor for the investigation. He based his conclusions, according to his report, solely on his interviews of the FBI individuals who started and ran the case — from Mr. Comey on down. That’s our story, they all said, and we’re stickin’ to it.

This would be like an FBI agent interviewing four subjects suspected of robbing a bank and, after hearing their denials, concluding there was no evidence they committed the crime.

In fairness, the IG is not a criminal investigator and certainly not steeped in counterintelligence matters. The attorney general, on the other hand, owns the Attorney General Guidelines that dictate what it takes to initiate an FBI investigation, particularly of an American citizen. He is the ultimate arbiter.

Which leads to the second point: 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. It also is now a safe bet that his findings will respectfully disagree with Mr. Horowitz’s.

Attorney General Barr communicates in a clear, understandable, calm-as-a-summer-evening manner uncommon in Washington. He undoubtedly did not get to his current position without being a skilled litigator, whose first rule is never make a statement to the court that you can’t back up. His newsworthy claim that there was zero basis for the FBI’s investigation stands, in all probability, on a mound of — in his words — “troubling” evidence now in his possession.


Many in the media immediately sputtered that the FBI was certainly justified because Trump campaign third-stringer George Papadopoulos told an Australian official, in a bar, that the Russians had email dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The media may wish that Papadopoulos’s comment is sufficient justification to investigate a candidate for president, but it is not. An experienced Russia counterintelligence FBI agent would have recognized immediately that the Australian’s assertion, while moderately interesting for existing investigations of Russians, was not nearly enough to open an invasive investigation of American citizens.

The biased, overeager Comey and McCabe, however, opened an unprecedented full-blown investigation into a presidential campaign. Worse, Durham possibly will show that the Comey team started involving itself in questionable intelligence community activities that improperly ran confidential sources against Papadopoulos well before they officially opened a case — a potentially big no-no that, if proven, will not go well for all involved.

That is especially true in light of what the AG went on to say during his interview. He likened the Comey team’s inappropriate investigation and subsequent fallout to sabotage, or the effects of sabotage. “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 2008 Wall Street-driven financial collapse, after the numerous Clinton family schemes and scandals, and after the wasteful Mueller “investigation” — that the powerful are never held accountable.

This is an attorney general projecting an air of confidence, not afraid to speak truth to slippery politicians even though the pushback will be fierce and personal. 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). He is a founder and principal of NewStreet Global Solutions, which consults with private companies and public-safety agencies on strategic mission technologies.

TSA has been beating the drumbeats of doom for the DEEP STATE for four years...it all started with a rumor about Comet Ping-Pong in Washington DC.

Why stop beating the drum when we just recently learned the FBI lied to the FISC and illegally obtained FISA warrants to use the most intrusive form of surveillance on a Trump campaign aid?

Why stop beating the drum when the Attorney General says this:

“Well, I think a report maybe – and probably will be a byproduct of his activity, but his primary focus isn’t to prepare a report. He is looking to bring to justice people who are engaged in abuses if he can show that they were criminal violations, and that’s what the focus is on. And as you know, being a lawyer you yourself, building these cases – especially the kinds of sprawling case we have between us that went on for two or three years here, it takes some time – it takes some time to build the case. So he’s diligently pursuing it. My own view is that the evidence shows that we’re not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness. There is something far more troubling here, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it. And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted.

I think the president has every right to be frustrated, because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history. Without any basis they started this investigation of his campaign, and even more concerning, actually is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events while he was president. So I -- to sabotage the presidency, and I think that – or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency.”

ill agree with that- and

ill add another:

ZERO investigations on this “investigating the investigators” topic will be credible until Barr and this administration is out of office.


a non partisan 9-11 type commission will eventually be the only credible investigators

and

the complete unredacted mueller report and ALL his (non classified) investigative materials, grand jury testimony etc
will have to be examined by this commission before any conclusions will be valid
