Horowitz rapport vernietigend voor FBI en CIA bemoeienissen met opzetten 'Russiagate'

Ongelofelijk weer, het Horowitz rapport waar in te lezen is hoe men door zaken te verdraaien, Trump probeerde te laten vallen over contacten met de Russen..... (hoewel die psychopathische fascist wat mij betreft morgen in rook mag opgaan) De campagne adviseur van Trump, Carter Page, werd bij de FBI door de CIA meermaals aangewezen als een CIA informant die door de CIA werd opgedragen om Russen te onderzoeken. Ondanks dat had de FBI het gore lef te stellen dat Page had samengespannen (in feite tegen de VS) met de Russen......

De FBI ging zelfs zover om bij de Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) rechtbank meermaals te zeggen dat Page had samengespannen met de Russen........ Een FBI advocaat met lange ervaring veranderde zelfs een email waarin stond te lezen dat Page voor de CIA werkte, door het woord 'niet' toe te voegen, dus dat hij niet voor de CIA werkte.....

Lees het volgende artikel en zegt het voort, de reguliere media, die een paar jaar lang de bek vol hadden over 'Russiagate' besteden amper of geen aandacht aan het Horowitz rapport..... Ergens ook wel logisch, immers men zal daarmee voor de zoveelste keer alle kul, fake news en manipulaties moeten toegeven op de eigen internet platforms, in kranten, week- en maandbladen, en op radio en tv..... Tja dat doen deze media niet graag, die wijzen liever naar Rusland en de alternatieve (echte) media als brengers van fake news en de schuldigen die de westerse bevolkingen manipuleren met andere desinformatie......

Onder het artikel een link naar een bericht dat vandaag werd gepubliceerd op Information Clearing House (ICH), een bericht over hetzelfde onderwerp dat nog wat dieper op de zaak ingaat.

5 Bombshells in the Horowitz Report

Wed, 12/11/2019 - 16:23

The Dinosaur Media is still not reporting the bombshells contained in the Horowitz report:
(1) FBI officials were repeatedly informed by the CIA that Trump campaign adviser Carter Page had worked as a CIA asset. Specifically, Page was tasked by the CIA to investigate Russians.

Yet the FBI repeatedly told the FISA court that Page was conspiring with Russians ... i.e. the Russians the CIA had tasked Page to speak with.

And a senior FBI lawyer - who Horowitz notes was “the primary FBI attorney assigned to [the bogus Trump-Russia] investigation in early 2017” - changed an email which the CIA sent the FBI saying that Carter Page did work for the CIA to instead say that Page did not work for the CIA.

(2) The government started spying on Carter Page and George Papadopoulos before they joined the Trump campaign ... and after.

Why did they start spying on Papadopoulos before he joined the Trump campaign?
Well, before he joined team Trump he worked for Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson.
He also was an energy expert, and he pissed off a lot of people when he helped push through a pipeline that cut out people with their hands in other cookie jars.

So Obama's intelligence agencies may have been spying on a lot of different Republican campaigns (Trump, Carson, etc.)

Or they may have been spying on people threatening powers-that-be in the pipeline business.

The same folks were also spying on General Michael Flynn in 2015. Why? Well, we're sure it has nothing to do with the fact that General Flynn announced that he was going to look into all of the corruption in the U.S. intelligence agencies and clean them up ... or that Flynn had said that the U.S. basically created ISIS

(3) Both Page and Papadopoulos were recorded by FBI "assets" (cough ... spies   ... cough) adamantly denying they were colluding with Russia. But the FBI hid their exculpatory comments from the FISA court.

For example, Papadopoulos told the spies who tried to frame him (such as Australia's Alexander Downer and American Stefan Halper) that colluding with Russians would be treason ... and that neither he or anyone else with the Trump campaign would ever do such a thing.  But the FBI buried that statement.

(4) Contrary to what the talking heads have insisted for years, the FBI's spying applications (er, FISA warrant applications) did rest - almost entirely  - on the Steele Dossier.

The Steele Dossier, in turn, was literally based on "bar room" ramblings by drunk Ruskies and by other assorted hodgepodge of shady characters. 

The FBI didn't really try to corroborate the Steele Dossier at first. But - when the FBI finally did interview the main Russian source for the Steele dossier - he said no, the info wasn't reliable, and he was shocked that Steele peddled it as confirmed:
The still-unidentified “primary sub-source” later repudiated the information, telling the FBI that Steele misstated or exaggerated” what the sub-source had told him.
For example, it turns out that Steele’s incendiary accusation of Trump’s alleged sexual activities in a Moscow hotel was nothing more than unconfirmed rumor and speculation.” The sub-source said they were comments made in jest.” Some joke.
***  
The sub-source insisted that he “never expected Steele to put the statements in his reports or present them as facts.” Indeed, he said he specifically warned Steele there was no proof whatsoever because it was just talk.”
The sub-source further explained that he was passing along word of mouth and hearsay” and “conversations that he had with friends over beers.” It was described as multiple layers of hearsay upon hearsay.”
After Trump was elected, both the FBI and Steele were desperate to verify anything in the dossier because the bureau had falsely sworn to the FISA Court in October 2016 that its application information was already verified.
The IG report details how Steele pleaded with his sub-source to “find corroboration.” The person tried, but “could find none … zero.”

Oh, and the FBI exaggerated prior Steele's track record and buried his supervisors' criticism about his reliability.
And the alleged "confirming, secondary sources" which the FBI and CIA claimed corroborated the info in the Steele Dossier were really just Steele himself gossiping to the media ... while being paid by the Democrats to talk to media (and Brennan, Clapper and McCabe themselves spreading myths to the media).

(5) Normally, a political campaign would be briefed on a counterintelligence campaign effecting them.  The FBI claimed  that they didn't tell the Trump team that they were engaging in a "counterintelligence" spying operation because that would have tipped off the Russians.  Specifically:
Former Counterintelligence Division Assistant Director ... Priestap, the FBI official who approved the launch of Crossfire Hurricane, told the IG that "he considered whether the FBI should conduct defensive briefings for the Trump campaign but ultimately decided that providing such briefings created the risk that 'if someone on the campaign was engaged with the Russians, he/she would very likely change his/her tactics and/or otherwise seek to cover-up his/her activities, thereby preventing us from finding the truth.'
There's just two wee problems with that claim ...
First, Attorney General Barr says that Obama and his CIA director Brennan directly told the Russians  about this:
And what I find particularly inexplicable is that they talked to the Russians, but not to the presidential campaign. On August 4th, Brennan braced the head of Russian intelligence. He calls the head of Russian intelligence and says, we know what you're up to, you better stop it. He did it again later in August. And then President Obama talked to President Putin in -- in September and said, we know what you're up to, you better cut it out.

So they -- they go and confront the Russians who clearly are the bad guys and they won't go and talk and to the campaigns and say, you know, what is this about?
And second, the FBI - while pretending to brief Trump - actually used it as an opportunity to spy on him:
[T]he only counterintelligence work done in this briefing was not on behalf of or in defense of the Trump campaign, but was actually gathering intelligence against the Trump campaign. 
Did they ever try to protect Donald Trump from foreign influence?” Graham asked.
They did not brief him,” Horowitz said.
As a matter of fact, whenever they went in and gave him a vanilla briefing–‘the Russians are out there, you better beware,’–didn’t they have an FBI agent do a 302 on the defensive briefing itself?” Graham asked.
They sent one of the supervisory agents from the Crossfire Hurricane team to the briefing and that agent prepared a report to the file of the briefing,” Horowitz said.
A 302 is an FBI form used to “report or summarize the interviews that they conduct” as part of an investigation. So the FBI “defensive briefing” the agency said they provided to the Trump campaign was not a defensive briefing at all, but rather an information gathering interview for the agents surveilling those associated Trump campaign.
Yup ... no bias there.  It's just coincidence that all of the "errors" were harmful to Trump.

Russiagate: VS en buitenlandse geheime diensten hebben de VS presidentsverkiezingen in 2016 gemanipuleerd

Geheime diensten van de VS en Groot-Brittannië hebben de presidentsverkiezingen in 2016 zonder succes gemanipuleerd..... Larry C. Johnson, de schrijver van het hieronder opgenomen artikel stelt dat er overtuigend bewijs is dat de Obama administratie de coördinatie deed voor de afschildering van Trump als een stroman van de Russen..... Die administratie werkte daarvoor samen met andere westerse regeringen en geheime diensten uit binnen- en buitenland (met medeweten van de belangrijkste van die regeringen in het buitenland, t.w. die van GB....)........

Het rapport van Mueller n.a.v. het onderzoek naar een verbintenis van Trump en de Russen, heeft duidelijk gemaakt dat deze beschuldiging is gefabriceerd door geheime diensten, politiediensten (zoals de FBI), de Obama administratie en als voornaamste buitenlandse regering zoals gezegd die van GB, dit nog plus organisaties die gelieerd waren aan het Clinton campagne team en dat team zelf.....

Johnson noemt in zijn artikel 8 punten waarop het Mueller onderzoek was gericht en ontleedt deze punten stuk voor stuk, waarna de conclusie van Johnson, zoals hiervoor deels verwoord, een terechte beschuldiging is aan het adres van geheime diensten (waaronder de CIA), de Britse regering, de FBI, de Obama administratie en het campagne team van Clinton, plus de organisaties die gelieerd waren aan dat campagneteam.

Lees het volgende artikel en geeft het door, immers de reguliere westerse (massa-) media doen net of de neus bloedt, hetzelfde geldt voor het grootste deel van de westerse politici...... Ondanks dat men weet meer dan 2 jaar lang leugens en nepnieuws (fake news) te hebben gebracht, blijft men doen alsof het Russiagate sprookje nog steeds overeind staat, laat staan dat men daar rectificaties voor plaatst en wat betreft de politici het maken van excuses naar de bevolking....

Het kan nog sterker mensen, alle maatregelen gebaseerd op de Russiagate leugens, zoals censuur door accounts van mensen te blokkeren of zelfs op te heffen, blijven gehandhaafd en men is al druk bezig om de volgende ronde van 'Russische inmenging', de EU verkiezingen, te beveiligen tegen Russische bemoeienis...... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Intussen stuurt de VS de EU meer en meer en het is zeker dat de VS al bezig is met de manipulatie van de EU verkiezingen later deze maand.....*

In Nederland hebben we hare D66 leeghoofdigheid Ollongren, die als minister maatregelen heeft genomen tegen Russische bemoeienis met de Provinciale verkiezingen en de EU verkiezingen..... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Alle maatregelen die men neemt tegen bemoeienissen met verkiezingen door Rusland, zouden met een naamsverandering alsnog kunnen worden gebruikt, althans als men de naam Rusland wil inwisselen voor de Verenigde Staten, immers voor het feit dat de VS zich bemoeit met verkiezingen elders zijn hele bergen bewijs, niet alleen dat: als de VS niet blij is met een verkiezingsuitslag elders, is de kans groot dat dezelfde VS dat land zal destabiliseren, een opstand organiseert en als dat niet leidt tot de afzetting van de gekozen regering, heeft de VS nog altijd militair ingrijpen tot haar beschikking, ook daarvoor bewijzen te over....

De VS bespioneert en hackt zelfs de regenringen van haar bevriende landen, ook dat is bewezen......

How US and Foreign Intel Agencies Interfered in a US Election

May 7, 2019

The evidence is plain—there was a broad, coordinated effort by the Obama Administration, with the help of foreign governments, to target Donald Trump and paint him as a Russian stooge, writes Larry Johnson


The preponderance of evidence makes this very simple–there was a broad, coordinated effort by the Obama Administration, with the help of foreign governments, to target Donald Trump and paint him as a stooge of Russia.

The Mueller Report provides irrefutable evidence that the so-called Russian collusion case against Donald Trump was a deliberate fabrication by intelligence and law enforcement organizations in the United States and the United Kingdom and organizations aligned with the Clinton Campaign.

The New York Times reported that a man with a long history of working with the CIA, and a female FBI informant, traveled to London in September of 2016 and tried unsuccessfully to entrap George Papadopolous. The biggest curiosity is that U.S. intelligence or law enforcement officials fully briefed British intelligence on what they were up to. Quite understandable given what we now know about British spying on the Trump Campaign.

The Mueller investigation of Trump “collusion” with Russia prior to the 2016 Presidential election focused on eight cases:
  • Proposed Trump Tower Project in Moscow
  • George Papadopolous
  • Carter Page
  • Dimitri Simes
  • Veselnetskya Meeting at Trump Tower (June 16, 2016)
  • Events at Republican Convention
  • Post-Convention Contacts with Russian Ambassador Kislyak
  • Paul Manafort
One simple fact emerges–of the eight cases or incidents of alleged Trump Campaign interaction with the Russians investigated by the Mueller team, the proposals to interact with the Russian Government or with Putin originated with FBI informants, MI-6 assets or people paid by Fusion GPS, and not Trump or his people.

There is not a single instance where Donald Trump or any member of his campaign team initiated contact with the Russians for the purpose of gaining derogatory information on Hillary or obtaining support to boost the Trump campaign. Not one.

Simply put, Trump and his campaign were the target of an elaborate, wide ranging covert action designed to entrap him and members of his team as an agent of Russia.

Let’s look in detail at each of the cases.

THE PROPOSED TRUMP TOWER PROJECT IN MOSCOW, according to Mueller’s report, originated with an FBI Informant–Felix Sater. Here’s what the Mueller Report states:

In the late summer of 2015, the Trump Organization received a new inquiry about pursuing a Trump Tower project in Moscow. In approximately September 2015, Felix Sater . . . contacted Cohen (i.e., Michael Cohen) on behalf of I.C. Expert Investment Company (I.C. Expert), a Russian real-estate development corporation controlled by Andrei Vladimirovich Rozov. Sater had known Rozov since approximately 2007 and, in 2014, had served as an agent on behalf of Rozov during Rozov’s purchase of a building in New York City. Sater later contacted Rozov and proposed that I.C. Expert pursue a Trump Tower Moscow project in which I.C. Expert would license the name and brand from the Trump Organization but construct the building on its own. Sater worked on the deal with Rozov and another employee of I.C. Expert.” (see page 69 of the Mueller Report).

 
Sater, FBI Informant

Mueller, as noted previously, is downright dishonest in failing to identify Sater as an FBI informant. Sater was not just a private entrepreneur looking to make some coin. He was a fully signed up FBI informant. Sater’s status as an FBI snitch was first exposed in 2012. Sater also was a boyhood chum of Michael Cohen, the target being baited in this operation. Another inconvenient fact excluded from the Mueller report is that one of Mueller’s Chief Prosecutors, Andrew Weissman, signed the deal with Felix Sater in December 1998 that put Sater into the FBI Informant business.


All suggestions for meeting with the Russian Government, including Putin, originated with Felix Sater. The use of Sater on this particular project started in September 2015.




GEORGE PAPADOPOLOUS

Papadopolous was targeted by British and U.S. intelligence starting in late December 2015, when he is offered out of the blue a job with the London Centre of International Law and Practice Limited (LCILP)?. The LCILP has all of the hallmarks of an intelligence front company. LCILP began as an offshoot from another company?—?EN Education Group Limited?—?which describes itself as “a global education consultancy, facilitating links between students, education providers and organisations with an interest in education worldwide”.

Papadopolous

EN Education and LCILP are owned and run by Nagi Khalid Idris, a 48-year-old British citizen of Sudanese origin. For no apparent reason Idris offers Papadopolous a job as the Director of the LCILP’s International Energy and Natural Resources Division. Then in March of 2016, Idris and Arvinder Sambei (who acted as an attorney for the FBI on a 9-11 extradition case in the UK), insist on introducing Joseph Mifsud to Papadopolous.

It is Joseph Mifsud who introduces the idea of meeting Putin following a lunch in London (from Papadopolous’s book “Deep State Target: How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump”):

The lunch is booked for March 24 at the Grange Holborn Hotel,. . . . “When I get there, Mifsud is waiting for me in the lobby with an attractive, fashionably dressed young woman with dirty blonde hair at his side. He introduces her as Olga Vinogradova.” (p. 76)

Mifsud sells her hard. “Olga is going to be your inside woman to Moscow. She knows everyone.” He tells me she was a former official at the Russian Ministry of Trade. Then he waxes on about introducing me to the Russian ambassador in London.” (p. 77)

On April 12, “Olga” writes: “I have already alerted my personal links to our conversation and your request. The embassy in London is very much aware of this. As mentioned, we are all very excited by the possibility of a good relationship with Mr. Trump. The Russian Federation would love to welcome him once his candidature would be officially announced.”

And it is Mifsud who raises the possibility of getting dirt on Hillary:

Then Mifsud returns from the Valdai conference. On April 26 we meet for breakfast at the Andaz Hotel, near Liverpool Street Station, one of the busiest train stations in London. He’s in an excellent mood and claims he met with high-level Russian government officials. But once again, he’s very short on specifics. This is becoming a real pattern with Mifsud. He hasn’t offered any names besides Timofeev. Then, he leans across the table in a conspiratorial manner. The Russians have “dirt” on Hillary Clinton, he tells me. “Emails of Clinton,” he says. “They have thousands of emails.”

Here again we encounter the lying and obfuscation of the Mueller team. They falsely characterize Mifsud as an agent of Russia. In fact, he has close and longstanding ties to both British and U.S. intelligence (Disobedient Media lays out the Mifsud mystery in detail).

Mifsud was not alone. The FBI and the CIA also were in the game of trying to entrap Papadopolous. In September of 2016, Papadopolous was being wined and dined by Halper (who has longstandingties to the U.S. intelligence community) and Azra Turk, an FBI Informant/researcher (see New York Times).

The FBI disingenuously claims they ran Azra Turk at Papadopolous because they were alarmed ostensibly by Russia’s attempts to disrupt the 2016 election. But Papadopolous was not seeking out Russian contacts. He was being baited. It was Mifsud and others tied to British and U.S. intelligence who were bringing up the “opportunity” to work with the Russians. 

CARTER PAGE

The section of the Mueller report that deals with Carter Page is a total travesty. Mueller and his team, for example, initially misrepresent Page’s status with the Trump campaign—he is described as “working” for the campaign, which implies a paid position, when he was in fact only a volunteer foreign policy advisor. Mueller also paints Page’s prior experience and work in Russia as evidence that Page was being used by Russian intelligence, but says nothing about the fact that Page was being regularly debriefed by the CIA and the FBI during the same period. In other words, Page was cooperating with U.S. intelligence and law enforcement. But this fact is omitted in the Mueller report.

Mueller eventually accurately describes Page’s role in the Trump campaign as follows:

In January 2016, Page began volunteering on an informal, unpaid basis for the Trump Campaign after Ed Cox, a state Republican Party official, introduced Page to Trump Campaign officials. Page told the Office that his goal in working on the Campaign was to help candidate Trump improve relations with Russia. To that end, Page emailed Campaign officials offering his thoughts on U.S.-Russia relations, prepared talking points and briefing memos on Russia, and proposed that candidate Trump meet with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

 
 Page: Cooperated with US intel.
In communications with Campaign officials, Page also repeatedly touted his high-level contacts in Russia and his ability to forge connections between candidate Trump and senior Russian governmental officials. For example, on January 30, 2016, Page sent an email to senior Campaign officials stating that he had “spent the past week in Europe and had been in discussions with some individuals with close ties to the Kremlin” who recognized that Trump could have a “game-changing effect . .. in bringing the end of the new Cold War. The email stated that ” [t]hrough [his] discussions with these high level contacts,” Page believed that “a direct meeting in Moscow between Mr. Trump and Putin could be arranged.”  

The Mueller presentation portrays Carter Page in a nefarious, negative light. His contacts with Russia are characterized as inappropriate and unjustified. Longstanding business experience in a particular country is not proof of wrong doing. No consideration is given at all to Page’s legitimate concerns raising about the dismal state of U.S./Russia relations following the U.S. backed coup in the Ukraine and the subsequent annexation of Crimea by Russia.

Page’s association with the Trump campaign was quite brief—he lasted seven months, being removed as a foreign policy advisor on Sept. 24. Page was not identified publicly as a Trump foreign policy advisor until March of 2016, but the evidence presented in the Mueller report clearly indicates that Page was already a target of intelligence agencies, in the U.S. and abroad, long before the FISA warrant of Oct. 2016.

While serving on the foreign policy team Page continued his business and social contacts in Russia, but was never tasked by the Trump team to pursue or promote contacts with Putin and his team. In fact, Page’s proposals, suggestions and recommendations were either ignored or directly rebuffed.

The timeline reported in the Mueller report regarding Page’s trip to Russia in early July raises questions about the intel collected on that trip and the so-called “intel” revealed in the Steele Dossier with respect to Page. Carter admits to meeting with individuals, such as Dmitry Peskov and Igor Sechin, who appear in the Steele Dossier. Page’s meetings in Moscow turned out to be innocuous and uneventful. Nothing he did resembled clandestine activity. Yet, the Steele report on that visit suggested just the opposite and used the tactic of guilt by association to imply that Page was up to something dirty. 

The bottomline for Mueller is that Page did not do anything wrong and no one in the Trump Campaign embraced his proposals for closer ties with Russia.

DMITRI SIMES

The targeting and investigation of Dmitri Simes is disgusting and an abuse of law enforcement authority. Full disclosure. I know Dmitri. For awhile, in the 2002-2003 time period, I was a regular participant at Nixon Center events. For example, I was at a round table in December 2002 on the imminent invasion of Iraq. Colonel Pat Lang sat on one side of me and Ambassador Joe Wilson on the other. Directly across the table was Charles Krauthammer. Dmitri ran an honest seminar.

Dmitri Simes

The entire section on Dmitri Simes, under other circumstances, could be viewed as something bizarre and amusing. But the mere idea that Simes was somehow an agent of Putin and a vehicle for helping Trump work with the Russians to steal the 2016 election is crazy and idiotic. Those in the FBI who were so stupid as to buy into this nonsense should have their badges and guns taken away. They are too dumb to work in law enforcement.

Dmitri’s only sin was to speak calmly, intelligently and rationally about foreign policy dealings with Russia. We now know that in this new hysteria of the 21st Century Russian scare that qualities such as reason and rationality are proof of one’s willingness to act as a puppet of Vladimir Putin.

TRUMP TOWER MEETING (JUNE 9, 2016)

This is the clearest example of a plant designed to entrap the Trump team. Mueller, once again, presents a very disingenuous account:

On June 9, 2016, senior representatives of the Trump Campaign met in Trump Tower with a Russian attorney expecting to receive derogatory information about Hillary Clinton from the Russian government. The meeting was proposed to Donald Trump Jr. in an email from Robert Goldstone, at the request of his then-client Emin Agalarov, the son of Russian real-estate developer Aras Agalarov. Goldstone relayed to Trump Jr. that the “Crown prosecutor of Russia … offered to provide the Trump Campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia” as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.” Trump Jr. immediately responded that “if it’s what you say I love it,” and arranged the meeting through a series of emails and telephone calls.” …

The Russian attorney who spoke at the meeting, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had previously worked for the Russian government and maintained a relationship with that government throughout this period oftime. She claimed that funds derived from illegal activities in Russia were provided to Hillary Clinton and other Democrats. Trump Jr. requested evidence to support those claims, but Veselnitskaya did not provide such information.”
Natalia Veselnitskaya (Wikimedia)

Ignore for a moment that no information on Hillary was passed or provided (and doing such a thing is not illegal). The real problem is with what Mueller does not say and did not investigate. Mueller conveniently declines to mention the fact that Veselnitskaya was working closely with the firm Hillary Clinton hired to produce the Steele Dossier. NBC News reported on Veselnitskaya:

The information that a Russian lawyer brought with her when she met Donald Trump Jr. in June 2016 stemmed from research conducted by Fusion GPS, the same firm that compiled the infamous Trump dossier, according to the lawyer and a source familiar with the matter.

In an interview with NBC News, Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya says she first received the supposedly incriminating information she brought to Trump Tower — describing alleged tax evasion and donations to Democrats — from Glenn Simpson, the Fusion GPS owner, who had been hired to conduct research in a New York federal court case.”

Even a mediocre investigator would recognize the problem of the relationship between the lawyer claiming to have dirty, damning info on Hillary with the firm Hillary hired to dig up dirt on Donald Trump. This was another botched set up and the Trump folks did not take the bait.

EVENTS AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION

This portion of the Mueller report is a complete farce. Foreign ambassdors, including the Russian (and the Chinese) attend Republican and Democrat Conventions. Presidential candidates and their advisors speak to those ambassadors. So, where is the beef? Answer. There isn’t any. That this “event” was considered something worthy of a counter intelligence investigation is just one more piece of evidence that law enforcement and intelligence were weaponized against the Trump campaign. 

POST-CONVENTION CONTACTS WITH RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR KISLYAK

Ditto. As noted in the previous paragraph, trying to criminalize normal diplomatic contacts, especially with a country where we share important, vital national security interests, is but further evidence of the crazy anti-Russian hysteria that has infected the anti-Trumpers. Pathetic.

MANAFORT

If Paul Manafort had rebuffed Trump’s offer to run his campaign, he would be walking free today and still buying expensive suits and evading taxes along with his Clinton buddy, Greg Craig. Instead, he became another target for DOJ, the intel community and the DNC, which were desperate to portray Trump as a tool of the Kremlin. Thanks to John Solomon of The Hill, we now know the impetus to target Manafort came from the DNC:

The boomerang from the Democratic Party’s failed attempt to connect Donald Trump to Russia’s 2016 election meddling is picking up speed, and its flight path crosses right through Moscow’s pesky neighbor, Ukraine. That is where there is growing evidence a foreign power was asked, and in some cases tried, to help Hillary Clinton.

In its most detailed account yet, Ukraine’s embassy in Washington says a Democratic National Committee insider during the 2016 election solicited dirt on Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and even tried to enlist the country’s president to help.

In written answers to questions, Ambassador Valeriy Chaly’s office says DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa sought information from the Ukrainian government on Paul Manafort’s dealings inside the country, in hopes of forcing the issue before Congress.

Manafort was not colluding, but the Clinton campaign and the Obama Administration most certainly were.

Take these eight events as a whole a very clear picture emerges—U.S. and foreign intelligence (especially the UK) and U.S. law enforcement collaborated in a broad effort to bait the Trump team with ostensible Russian entreaties in order to paint Trump as a tool of the Kremlin. That effort is now being exposed and those culpable will hopefully face justice. This should sicken and alarm every American regardless of political party. Will justice be served?
