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,
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.
