RussiaGate and SpyGate Update

BACKGROUND:
While waiting for 
the Justice Department
Inspector General's report,
hopefully out next week:


I don't really need that report
to know the obvious:
  The Hillary Clinton
eMail "investigation"
was a fake investigation,
with the conclusion
of no punishment
determined in advance
-- she committed every crime 
that Republicans claimed,
but received not even a slap
on the wrist as punishment.

The Hillary Clinton first draft
"exoneration letter"
was written by James Comey 
in late April 2016, 
more than two months
before 17 FBI interviews ...
including the Hillary Clinton interview,
where her 'failing memory' 
was not recorded, or transcribed
 ... nor did James Comey attend ! 

Hillary Clinton was not punished
even though she admitted to destroying
almost half of her eMails, AFTER receiving
a subpoena from Congress to preserve them,
for a Freedom of Information Act Request,
and the Congressional Benghazi investigation.

If Hillary Clinton admitted to destroying
30,000 eMails, then the true number is 
probably higher!

Whatever the true number of eMails,
that's obvious obstruction of justice.

Hillary was also guilty of violating
the Records Retention Act and the
Freedom of Information Act --
but as I have explained in this blog,
thanks to stupid-heads in Congress,
both laws only allow punishment
for current government officials
... and Hillary left government service
long before anyone knew about
her private computer server. 



WikiLeaks claimed 
they received stolen
Democrat National Committee 
and John Podesta eMails
from a DNC insider,
angry that Bernie Sanders
was kept from winning 
by special DNC rules, 
designed to favor Hillary.

Julian Assange of WikiLeaks
offerred a $10,000 reward
suggesting DNC's Seth Rich,
murdered in Washington, DC,
with none of his valuables taken,
was the DNC insider ... but perhaps
Assange was just trying to divert 
attention from the real DNC insider,
who was still alive ... or just 
playing games -- I assume 
we'll never know the truth.



The eMails embarrassed Hillary,
who quickly invented a cover story 
that "Russians" hacked the DNC,
and then she began claiming 
'The Russians' were supporting Trump.

I claim Hillary "invented" 
the Russia hacking story
for four reasons:
(1) 
I trust WikiLeaks' Julian Assange 
more than Hillary Clinton, who hired
a computer company, run by ex-Russians
who hated Putin, and they blamed "Russians"
after just one day of analysis!,

(2) 
In reality, it's nearly impossible
to determine where hackers are from,
when they were not caught in the act.

If the software used for the hack
was originally developed in Russia,
for example, that doesn't mean 
hackers using it are Russian -- 
they could be from any other nation!

The best hackers, such as the CIA,
leave false evidence that makes
it appear that hackers from 
another country were involved!

(3) 
Hillary and the DNC refused to 
let Obama's FBI investigate the
DNC computers and servers
to confirm the"Russian hackers" 
claim, and 

(4) 
An independent study
done by outside computer experts, 
determined that the download time 
was far too fast for a hack done 
over the internet by hackers 
in a foreign nation -- the very fast 
download could be possible to
a flash drive used by a DNC insider.


The Russia collusion "investigation"
has always lacked a crime to investigate.

It's also laughable to think Donald Trump 
would collude with anyone -- he is clearly 
a 'one man show'.

Very few writers
in the mainstream media 
seem to be aware that 
collusion would be bad politics, 
but is not a crime!


It appears the Obama Administration
decided to "investigate" Donald Trump,
and everyone involved in his campaign,
(very few people) as early as Spring 2016,
in spite of no evidence of any crime.

I believe Obama was kept informed,
as implied in several Strzok eMails
(assuming Obama did not lead the effort).



Recent "RussiaGate 
& "SpyGate" News:


Andrew McCabe
The former Deputy FBI Director 
is said to be in negotiations
with Senate Judiciary Committee 
Chairman Chuck Grassley 
for immunity, 
ahead of his testimony 
on the upcoming DOJ 
Inspector General report,
(on the FBI's conduct 
during the Clinton eMail probe).

James Comey and Andrew McCabe 
gave conflicting reports 
over events leading up 
to McCabe's firing, 
with Comey calling 
his former deputy "a liar" 
in an April 2018 appearance 
on The View. 

Justice Department Inspector General 
Michael Horowitz issued a criminal referral 
for McCabe, following his probe. 

McCabe was fired March 16, 2018 
after Horowitz found he "had made 
an unauthorized disclosure 
to the news media 
and lacked candor 
- including under oath - 
on multiple occasions."

McCabe was fired
for claiming the FBI 
had not stopped 
a separate investigation 
into the Clinton Foundation, 
at a time when he
was under fire 
for his wife taking 
a huge $467,500 campaign contribution 
from Clinton pal, Terry McAuliffe. 

McCabe leaked information 
to the Wall Street Journal
to fight rumors that the Clintons 
had indirectly bribed him 
through his wife's camapaign,
to back off the Clinton Foundation
investigation, and then 
he lied about it four times 
to the DOJ and FBI, 
including twice under oath. 



Peter Strzok
Strzok went on a secret trip to London 
in summer of 2016 to meet with 
Australian ambassador, 
Alexander Downer, who wanted to
describe his meeting with 
Trump campaign advisor, 
George Papadopoulos. 

The investigation into 
candidate Donald Trump 
was a counterintelligence operation
that began sometime during 
Spring or Summer 2016.

Bill Priestap was in charge 
of all FBI counterintelligence operations,
so I assume he was in charge of this one.

FBI Deputy Peter Strzok led the
Trump counterintelligence operation,
reporting to Bill Priestap on every detail.




James Clapper
When Clapper was asked if the FBI 
was spying on the Trump campaign, 
he replied:
     "They were spying on 
- a term I don't particularly like, 
but on what the Russians were doing." 
(By sending an "informant"
     to perform espionage 
      on several members 
    of the Trump campaign?)

President Obama’s 
Director of National Intelligence
went on to say,
  “So, if there was someone 
that was observing (Trump people) 
that sort of thing, that’s a good thing.” 




Stefan "the spy" Halper
FBI informant Stefan Halper
infiltrated the Trump campaign 
for the FBI, during the 2016 election, 

Halper said in December 2016
that Russians had infiltrated 
the University of Cambridge 
where he works - allegations 
which those involved said
were "false" and "absurd." 

The 73-year-old Oxford University 
professor, was also a former 
U.S. government "consultant":
  For which he received $1,058,161
from the Department of Defense,
between 2012 and 2018, 



Robert Mueller
CNBC reported recently 
that in April 2018,
Mueller's team 
asked witnesses 
in the Russia probe 
to turn over phones 
for agents to examine 
private conversations 
on WhatsApp, Confide, 
Signal and Dust.

The witnesses, apparently 
fearing a subpoena, 
handed over their phones.



George Papadopoulos 
Papadopoulos was lured to London 
in 2016 by an FBI informant as part of 
a counterintelligence operation.

There, George had an encounter with 
Belarusian-American businessman, 
and former Russian government translator, 
Sergei Millian, a central figure in 
the infamous Trump "Steele" Dossier, 
known as "Source D" and "Source E", 
whose current whereabouts are unknown.

The New York Times reported
that Millian approached Papadopoulos 
during the summer of 2016 
to propose that they 
"form an energy-related business 
that would be financed by 
influential Russian billionaires," 
and Millian offered George
$30,000 per month 
"while he worked inside 
the Trump administration." 

Papadopoulos DECLINED the offer.

Papadopoulos and Millian first met 
around the same time that the FBI 
officially opened its counterintelligence 
operation against the Trump campaign, 
code-named "Crossfire Hurricane".

Trump attorney Michael Cohen
has called Millian a “phony”,
who has falsely claimed 
to have links to Trump’s 
real estate business.

George Papadopoulos and his wife 
Simona say they've come to realize 
that several contacts George had 
prior to the 2016 US election 
were "highly suspicious," 
and may have been attempts 
to entrap the Trump campaign aide.
