Almost eighteen months after,
Obama’s Justice Department,
and Obama's FBI,
launched the RussiaGate investigation,
and seven months after,
Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
took over the investigation,
they have found nothing illegal,
with the Trump campaign,
or any collusion, with anybody:
(1)
Indictment of Paul Manafort
and Rick Gates,
which concerned,
long ago financial dealings,
(2)
Indictment for lying to the FBI
of George Papadopoulos,
a junior volunteer staffer,
of the Trump campaign,
that does not touch on collusion, and
(3)
Indictment for lying to the FBI
of Michael Flynn,
based on legal contacts.
with the Russian ambassador,
after the 2016 Presidential election,
which is not collusion,
and happened after,
an act of entrapment.
There is no criminal offense
of “collusion” known to US law!
There is the crime of conspiracy,
to perform a criminal act.
If members of the Trump campaign,
arranged with the Russians,
for them to hack the DNC computers,
and to steal the emails from those computers,
so the emails could be published by WikiLeaks,
a criminal conspiracy would be established.
This the crime Mueller
was supposed to be investigating.
There is no evidence,
of criminal acts,
or secret contacts,
between the Trump campaign,
and Russian intelligence.
The legal meeting,
between Donald Trump Jr.,
and the Russian lawyer,
Natalia Veselnitskaya,
is not such evidence.
So why is the investigation continuing?
Because Special Counsel Robert Mueller,
and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,
are engaging in "fishing expeditions".
The recent indictment of Michael Flynn.
may have been to shield Mueller,
from dismissal, and keep his
RussiaGate investigation alive.
Indictments against Paul Manafort,
Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos,
were issued directly after,
the Wall Street Journal,
published an editorial,
saying that Mueller should resign.
It is now increasingly clear,
Mueller's "Team of Democrats",
can't be trusted to lead,
an unbiased investigation.
In 2016, the FBI does not seem,
to have even considered,
investigating Hillary Clinton,
for obstruction of justice,
after it also became known,
that she had actually destroyed,
the electronic files of every eMail,
that passed through her private server.
FBI’s then Director James Comey,
was Robert Mueller’s personal friend,
who broke Justice Department protocols,
by the way he announced,
that Hillary Clinton had been cleared.
Failing to bring charges against Hillary Clinton,
meant the FBI ensured that she would win,
the Democrat Party’s nomination.
Opinion polls suggest,
that if the election was Sanders vs. Trump,
Bernie Sanders would have won.
The FBI simply accepted the opinion,
of – CrowdStrike – paid for by the DNC,
that Russians hacked the DNC
which it is now known was partly funded,
and entirely controlled,
by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
It is now known that the FBI,
also met with Christopher Steele,
the compiler of the Trump Dossier,
who is now known to have been paid,
by the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The first Steele meeting,
apparently took place in early July 2016,
shortly before the RussiaGate investigation began.
It is now known that Chris Steele,
was in contact with the FBI,
throughout the election and after,
and the FBI gave credence to his work.
Steele was also directly in touch with,
Obama’s Justice Department,
a fact disclosed recently.
The Justice Department’s Bruce Ohr,
served as associate deputy attorney general,
at the time of the campaign.
That placed him just below,
the deputy attorney general,
Sally Yates, who ran,
the day-to-day operations,
of the department.
Yates was later fired,
for defying President Trump’s,
initial travel ban executive order.
Bruce Ohr had repeated contacts with Steele
when he was working on the dossier.
Ohr also met after the election,
with Glenn Simpson,
head of Fusion GPS,
the opposition research company,
that was paid by the Clinton campaign,
to compile the dossier.
When this was leaked,
Ohr was demoted, taking away
his associate deputy attorney general title,
and moving him full time.
to another position,
running the department’s,
organized crime drug enforcement task forces.
The FBI, using the Trump Dossier,
obtained at least one warrant,
from the FISA court,
which made it possible,
to undertake surveillance,
of Trump campaign officials,
before and after the election.
However the FBI,
and the Justice Department,
have so far failed to provide,
in response to Congressional subpoenas,
information about the precise role,
of the Trump Dossier,
in triggering the RussiaGate investigation.
FBI Director Christopher Wray,
has refused to say officially,
whether or not the Trump Dossier,
played any role in the FBI
obtaining the FISA warrants.
Officials of the FBI,
including former FBI Director
James Comey,
in earlier Congressional testimony,
said it did.
FBI Director Christopher Wray,
and of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,
should be held in contempt of Congress,
because of the failure of the Justice Department,
and the FBI, to comply with,
Congressman Nunes’s subpoenas.
Peter Strzok is the senior FBI official,
now known to have had a leading role,
in both the FBI’s investigation,
of Hillary Clinton’s misuse of her private server,
and in the RussiaGate investigation.
Strzok is now also known,
to have been the person,
who changed the wording,
in Comey’s statement clearing Hillary Clinton,
for her misuse of her private email server,
to say that Hillary Clinton,
had been “extremely careless",
as opposed to “grossly negligent”.
Strzok, as FBI’s deputy director,
for counter-intelligence.
signed the document,
which launched,
the RussiaGate investigation,
in July 2016.
Strzok was also the person,
who supervised the FBI’s questioning,
of Michael Flynn.
Flynn’s interview with the FBI,
on 24th January 2017,
was a set-up intended to entrap him,
by tricking him into lying to the FBI,
about phone conversations,
the NSA had recorded
(they record all conversations
with the Russian Ambassador).
Special Counsel Mueller.
removed Strzok,
from the RussiaGate investigation,
supposedly after it was discovered,
that Strzok had been sending,
anti-Trump and pro-Hillary Clinton messages,
to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer,
with whom he was having an affair.
These messages were sent
during the election,
but apparently only came to light
in July of this year.
Since then Strzok has been working,
in the FBI’s human resources department,
in spite of the fact he had been,
the FBI’s former deputy director,
for counter-intelligence,
and considered an expert on Russia.
Former FBI officials are incredulous,
that Strzok could have been demoted,
for such a trivial reason.
Congressman Jim Jordan,
recently said on TV,
that if you get kicked off the Mueller team,
for being anti-Trump,
there wouldn’t be anybody left,
on the Mueller team.
Adding to the mystery,
about Strzok’s demotion,
is why the FBI took five months,
to confirm that in July 2017,
Strzok was removed,
from his previous post,
of deputy director for counter-espionage,
and transferred to human resources.
The June 2017 article
in the Washington Post,
confirms the Trump Dossier,
provided the information,
which the CIA sent to President Obama,
in August 2016,
which supposedly ‘proved’,
that the Russians were interfering,
in the election.
It is highly likely the Trump Dossier,
provided the information,
which the FBI used,
to obtain all the surveillance warrants,
the FBI obtained from the FISA court,
during the 2016 election, and afterwards.
Strzok’s position,
as the FBI’s deputy director,
for counter-intelligence,
makes it highly likely,
that he was the key official,
within the FBI,
who decided that the Trump Dossier,
should be given credence.
On the strength of a fake Dossier
paid for by the DNC,
and the Hillary Clinton campaign,
the Justice Department, the FBI
and the US intelligence community,
carried out surveillance,
during the election,
of US citizens,
who were members,
of the campaign team,
of Hillary Clinton’s opponent.
It is Robert Mueller’s investigation
which seems to be the real cover-up.
The "surveillance of the Trump Tower"
is the real wrongdoing.
Congressman Jordan has called
for a second Special Counsel
to be appointed.
Surveillance of US citizens
by our national security bureaucracy
during the election
would be the primary focus
of a second Special Counsel.
