Georgia DA going after Trump: subpoenaed in another case she may not have anticipated

Fani Willis, Georgia's Fulton County District Attorney, has now been subpoenaed in the divorce case of her paramour, Nathan Wade, the man with whom she is not only sharing a bed, but has selected him to be the special prosecutor against former President Donald J. Trump. So she is not merely sharing a bed with Wade, but is also sharing some of the financial benefits he has received as payment in the case.

Willis is the top cheese in a RICO case against Trump and several of his top associates for alleged election interference. However, it isn't looking too kosher for Willis now that her relationship with Wade has come out from under the rock that they've been hiding it. 

Had Willis not benefitted from hiring Wade in the Trump case it would not have looked so sleazy, aside from the affair. The loving couple allegedly took extravagant vacations together with the money Wade's firm was paid working on the RICO case. Records show that Wade received about $654,000 in legal fees, which either Willis or Wade had to authorize.

The Wall Street Journal reported that on Monday, Willis' office received a subpoena requesting she testify in the Wade divorce case between him and his wife, Joycelyn. Divorce was initially file in November 2021.

The subpoena was reportedly delivered by a process server a mere few hours before former Trump campaign official Michael Roman, a co-defendant in the RICO case, filed a motion alleging misconduct by Willis and Wade, in part for their “improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case.”

Roman’s lawyer Ashleigh Merchant suggested Willis’ hiring of Wade was never approved by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, as required. Merchant said she reviewed the minutes of every meeting the board held from the time Willis took office, but found no record of Wade’s contract being discussed, the Journal report noted.

Roman’s motion cites sources close to both the special prosecutor and the district attorney who say the pair are in an ongoing romantic relationship and calls for the disqualification of Willis, her office, and Wade from the Trump case.

Former DeKalb County District Attorney Bob Wilson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that DAs in high-profile cases like this one must be extremely careful with their actions, though he refused to comment directly on the allegations facing Willis to avoid being canceled.

“Everything you do must be done according to the law,” he told the paper. “Everyone who works on a case like this must conduct themselves at the highest professional level. Otherwise, you can become the issue and that can derail your case.”

Appointing Wade to handle the RICO case was a stupid move when Willis has several attorneys in her office who could have easily handled the case but with whom she was not sharing a bed. And Wade, the father of two, is not even qualified to handle this case as he never actually prosecuted a felony RICO case before.

Boys and girls, can you say "Peter Strzok and Lisa Page?"

Former DNI Ratcliffe informed Durham intel supports 'multiple' indictments in probe

Here's a story you will net see on CNN, MSNBC, 60 Minutes nor the rest of the legacy media: former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe met with Special Counsel John Durham on several occasions to discuss the existence of intelligence evidence that support indicting "multiple people" in Durham's investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. [H/T Fox News]

Regarding Durham's latest filing, alleging that lawyers from Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign paid to "infiltrate" servers belonging to Trump Tower and later the White House after Trump took office, in order to establish an "inference" and "narrative" to bring to federal government agencies linking President Trump to Russia.

In October 2020, Fox News reported that Ratcliffe provided about 1,000 pages of material to the Department of Justice to support Durham's investigation.

Ratcliffe said he believed there was "enough evidence" in the material he provided to indict "multiple people."

One key piece, now declassified, revealed that intelligence officials in the CIA forwarded an investigative referral on Hillary Clinton approving "a plan concerning U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections" in order to distract the public from her email scandal to the FBI. Holy crap!

Sources told Fox News that the CIA memo, aka: Counterintelligence Operational Lead (CIOL), was properly forwarded to the FBI, and to the attention of then-FBI Director James "Lordy" Comey and to then-Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok. 

[Strzok was eventually fired after the messages that he and his paramour, Lisa Page exchanged about their hatred for Trump, came to light and the insinuation that Strzok would do something about Trump's presidency.]

Strzok testifying and looking bizarre, like an evil Alfred E. Newman

"The following information is provided for the exclusive use of your bureau for background investigative action or lead purposes as appropriate," the 2016 CIA memo to Comey and Strzok stated.

"This memorandum contains sensitive information that could be source revealing. It should be handled with particular attention to compartmentation and need-to-know. To avoid the possible compromise of the source, any investigative action taken in response to the information below should be coordinated in advance with Chief Counterintelligence Mission Center, Legal," the memo read. "It may not be used in any legal proceeding — including FISA applications — without prior approval …"

"Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date," the memo continued. ""An exchange [REDACTED] discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server."

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News that Ratcliffe, privately, has raised concerns that the CIOL was directed to Comey and Strzok, probably due to their hatred for Trump. As it turned out, there is no evidence that the FBI began an investigation into Clinton's plan as per the CIA referral.

But wait, because there's more.

Ratcliffe had also declassified documents that revealed former CIA Director John Brennan briefed then-President Barack Obama on Hillary’s purported "plan" to tie then-candidate Trump to Russia as "a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server" ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Brennan is a contributor to MSNBC and NBC and is a leftist hack.

"We’re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED]," Brennan’s declassified notes, which were first obtained by Fox News in October 2020, read. "CITE [summarizing] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service."

At this point, Durham has indicted three people as part of his investigation: Igor Danchenko on Nov. 4, 2021, Kevin Clinesmith in August 2020, and Michael Sussmann in September 2021.

Danchenko was charged with making a false statement and is accused of lying to the FBI about the source of information that he provided to Christopher Steele for the anti-Trump dossier. Kevin Clinesmith was also charged with making a false statement. Clinesmith had been referred for potential prosecution by the Justice Department's inspector general's office, which conducted its own review of the Russia investigation.

Specifically, the inspector general accused Clinesmith, without naming him, of altering an email about Page to say that he was "not a source" for another government agency while Page said that he was a CIA source. The DOJ relied on that assertion as it submitted a third and final renewal application in 2017 to eavesdrop on Trump campaign aide Carter Page under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

Durham also charged Michael Sussmann, a former Clinton campaign lawyer, with making a false statement to a federal agent. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty, but all the evidence indicates otherwise. The indictment against him says he told then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016, not even 2 months prior to the 2016 presidential election, that he was not doing work "for any client" when he requested and held a meeting in which he presented "purported data and 'white papers' that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel" between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which has ties to the Kremlin. 

But his billing of the Clinton campaign proved him a liar.

Aren't they all liars?

Fake news isn't just about lying in the copy; it's also about omitting or refusing to report on something factual that hurts your political agenda.

DOJ files response to Strzok's lawsuit: shows texts about wife finding his cell phone

Photo: AP/Manuel Balce Ceneta

Former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok was fired from the agency and sued for unlawful termination. The photo [above] shows him testifying before a House Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, on July 12, 2018. The hearing concerned "oversight on FBI and Department of Justice actions regarding the 2016 presidential election.

In response to Strzok's frivolous lawsuit the DOJ filed a response which can be seen here. The motion contains a letter dated August 8, 2018 signed by Candace Will, the Assistant Director of the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility.

Strzok was removed from Robert Mueller’s profligate Special Counsel investigation team after his covert extramarital affair with FBI lawyer Lisa Page and their anti-Trump text messages were discovered in the summer of 2017. The weird agent was then fired from the FBI in August 2018 and has since filed a lawsuit claiming that his “due process rights were infringed upon,” much like President Trump's due process rights are being infringed upon in the impeachment hearings.

In addition, his lawsuit claimed that the DOJ aimed to “humiliate him and smear his reputation when it disclosed nearly 400 text messages he had sent or received.” In truth, however, Strzok has done a fine job humiliating himself.

President Trump, never being one to shy away from a heartfelt Twitter attack, targeted Strzok at the time.

Strzok's lawyer claimed, “While many in law enforcement have faced attacks by this president, Pete Strzok has been a constant target for two years. It’s indisputable that his termination was a result of President Trump’s unrelenting retaliatory campaign of false information, attacks and direct appeals to top officials.”

See, it's okay to attack a duly elected president of the United States and try to throw him out of office, but once you go after a poor soul on Twitter, you've gone too far.

The DOJ’s motion argues that Strzok’s “allegation that his due process rights were infringed upon would be soundly rejected due to his position on FBI’s Senior Executive Service at the time of his firing” and said he’d been “given ample notice and opportunity to be heard.” They also stated that he was terminated because it infringed on the FBI's ability to be a trusted, nonpartisan institution and had nothing to do with Trump's tweets.

The 27-page document goes on to say that Strzok made numerous violations in text messages which were inappropriate political comments on his FBI-issued cell phone. He also used his personal email account [in Hillary Clinton style] to conduct FBI business and failed to diligently pursue a significant investigative lead in Hillary's email investigation.

In other words, Strzok's failure to act when informed in September 2016 that Hillary Clinton's emails were discovered on Anthony Weiner's laptop, was more than enough to get rid of Strzok.

The present DOJ filing contains new text exchanges between Strzok and Lisa Page involving his wife discovering their sordid affair after she gained access to the philanderer's phone. The wife also called Lisa Page from Strzok's cell phone and left several voicemails.

Strzok: “My wife has my phone.”

Page: “Your wife left me a VM. Am I supposed to respond? She thinks we’re having an affair. Should I call and correct her understanding? Leave this to you to address?” [It is clear that Strzok's wife's understanding needed no correcting. These two shameless cheaters were caught.]

Strzok: “I don’t know. I said we were close friends and nothing more. She knows I sent you flowers. I said you were having a tough week.”

As the saying goes: good riddance to bad rubbish.

'Final batch' of damning Clinton emails tied to ;delete or destroy' uncovered

Almost four years have passed since Judicial Watch (JW) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit seeking all emails sent and received by Hillary Clinton and her staff via her unsecured private email server [located in a bathroom] during her tenure as Secretary of State. JW has finally received what appears to be the "final batch" of those emails Hillary "tried to delete or destroy" that the FBI managed to recover.

Among this newly uncovered crapload of emails, which amount to 756 pages of documents, JW uncovered what appear to be five more email exchanges containing classified information. 

It only takes one classified document to indict someone under the Espionage Act, and this latest batch only added to the number of classified material on her illegal server. And this find apparently contradicted Clinton's oath-sworn insistence that she turned over all of her sensitive work-related emails to the State Department, and it also included a load of classified communications on issues from foreign policy to State Department personnel matters.

"Hillary Clinton repeatedly stated that the 55,000 pages of documents she turned over to the State Department in December 2014 included all of her work-related emails," Judicial Watch explained in its announcement of the release of the final batch of emails. "In response to a court order in another Judicial Watch case, she declared under penalty of perjury in 2015 that she had 'directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done.' In 2017, the FBI uncovered 72,000 pages of documents Clinton attempted to delete or did not otherwise disclose."

JW noted that this should be "the final batch" of emails because the production of documents in this case has now "concluded." In total, the FBI was only able to recover or find less than a fifth, about 5,000 of the 33,000 government emails Clinton "took and tried to destroy."

The files came from a trove of 72,000 documents the FBI recovered and turned over to the State Department in 2017.

The documents, representing a small proportion of the tens of thousands of emails still unaccounted for from Clinton's 'Bleach Bit' server, also underscored the significant political threat that the Obama administration felt it faced at the hands of Israel.

Additionally, according to the email dump, Clinton spoke with former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair about foreign policy before she was sworn in, aided the application of at least one State Department applicant who was connected to her daughter, Chelsea, and apparently met with Putin-aligned Georgian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili before he became prime minister on a staunchly pro-Russian platform -- and with reported help from a Russian interference operation. 

In some of Clinton's conversations with Blair -- which included a classified 2011 conversation on foreign policy, and another classified 2011 conversation concerning a "speech" -- she apparently discussed job-related topics on January 16, 2009 -- while George W. Bush was still president but after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had approved her for the position of Secretary of State. In one email thread with the subject line "Re: Gaza," dated January 16, 2009, Blair said he wanted to have a matter "resolved before Tuesday," apparently referring to Obama's inauguration.

Clinton replied: “Tony – We are finally moving and I am looking forward to talking w you as soon as I’m confirmed, tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Your emails are very helpful so pls continue to use this address,” hr15@att.blackberry.net."

Blair responded: “It would be great if we could talk before any announcements are made.”

In closed-door testimony last year, former FBI special agent Peter Strzok acknowledged that the Justice Department "negotiated" an agreement with Clinton's legal team that ensured the FBI did not have access to emails on her private servers relating to the Clinton Foundation, even as they probed her handling of classified information.

And so far, nobody has been prosecuted for any of this crap.

Below is the JW summaries of and links to the "classified" communications:

On April 27, 2011, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair sent classified information discussing Palestinian issues to Clinton’s personal unsecured email account. 

On May 19, 2011, Blair again sent classified information to Clinton’s personal unsecured email account discussing a “speech.” 

A classified email exchange between Blair and Clinton took place from January 16, 2009 (while George W. Bush was still president) and January 24, 2009. The subject line is “Re: Gaza.” Blair on January 16, 2009, relayed information he learned from Middle East leaders and noted that he wanted to get something “resolved before Tuesday” (when Obama would be sworn in as president). Clinton responded to Blair on January 19, 2009, writing “Tony – We are finally moving and I am looking forward to talking w you as soon as I’m confirmed, tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Your emails are very helpful so pls continue to use this address,”[email protected]. Blair followed up by saying “It would be great if we could talk before any announcements are made.” 

Retired Army Gen. Jack Keane sent Clinton classified information, apparently during early 2009. The subject line of the email is redacted, but the text appears to show a discussion on information about Iraq.
In September 2, 2010, email exchange marked classified, longtime Clinton confidante Lanny Davis tells Secretary Clinton that he could serve as a private channel for her to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he had a “private and highly trusted communication line, unofficial and personal, to PM N[etanyahu].” Davis goes on to say “[N]o one on the planet (other than your wonderful husband) can get this done as well as you.…” Secretary Clinton responds with classified information, saying “I will reach out to you directly and hope you will continue to do the same w me. The most important issue now is [Redacted B1].”

Judicial Watch notes that, based on what the documents revealed, Clinton had already been assigned an official government email address which she could have used.

Instead, she arrogantly chose to use her unapproved, unsecured private server. One email contains a comment from her former chief of staff as a senator discussing getting "a secure computer set up soon."

She has thus far gotten away with her illegal behavior, but that's only because Lady Justice has a hole in her blindfold that Hillary gave her after she wiped her server with it.

Missing Flynn document in Mueller file could be a problem in sentencing

A key document from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's latest filing regarding the [former national security adviser] Michael Flynn case could be a problem at Tuesday's scheduled sentencing hearing.

Special counsel has been ordered to turn over all government documents and "memoranda" related to Flynn's questioning by the FBI after his attorneys claimed the agency had discouraged him form having a lawyer present when he was interviewed on January 24, 2017 at the White House. It appears that U.S. District Judge Emmett G. Sullivan is rather miffed over the missing document.

Mueller met Sullivan’s Friday afternoon deadline and provided documents, some of which were heavily redacted.

Mueller's team defended the way the FBI handled the interview with Flynn and claimed that nothing about how it was conducted "caused the defendant to make false statements to the FBI." How they could get into Flynn's mind and know that was the case had not been revealed, but evidently, the FBI has some scary stuff going and can read minds.

The filing in question, known as a "302", [to memorialize interviews] detailed the July 19, 2017 interview with Peter Strzok, the paramour of Lisa Page.

Strzok, who was in the throes of an extra-marital affair with a lawyer for the FBI, Lisa Page (whose affair with Strzok was also extra-marital) was one of two agents performing the interview. It was revealed that Strzok and his paramour were texting each other over their hatred for Trump and Strzok wanted to do something to stop him. Since Flynn worked for Trump, there was no love lost between Strzok and Flynn, in which case the former could direct all his love to Page. Anyway, Flynn described the meeting in the document filed Aug. 22, 2017.

If this sounds confusing, imagine having to go through life with a name that's spelled "Strzok" but pronounced "Schmuck."

But not included in the filing was an original 302 from the period of the January 2017 Flynn interview.

Anyway, we shall see tomorrow whether Flynn is handed down a sentence, walks away a free man, or has a sentencing delay.

Strzok-Page text messages gone

Text messages between fired FBI agent Peter "The Cheater" Strzok and former bureau lawyer Lisa Page that were sent from their time on the Mueller investigation, are gone because by the time their phones were recovered, they were reset for others' use, according to an inspector general.

The IG report also said the FBI still isn’t reliably collecting text messages of all their employees — despite the bad press the bureau has suffered from the paramours.

The report released by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz  details the efforts his team made attempting to recover the texts between the paramours who shared venomous anti-Trump messages during the course of the affair they were having.

Investigators have already disclosed many of the messages, including one in which Mr. Strzok promised they would “stop” Trump from winning the White House.

But there was a gap in the text messages,  which the inspector general labeled a “collection tool failure,” and the new report detailed investigators’ efforts to recover those messages directly from the Samsung Galaxy phones issued to Strzok and Page.

Although messages were recovered from some FBI phones, the inspector general said that wasn’t the case for Strzok's and Page's phones that were assigned to them during their time on the Mueller probe.

Ms. Page left the probe on July 15, 2017 and Strzok was kicked off the probe in late July, with his final day on August 11, 2017.

The loving couple returned the phones issued to them, and both phones were reset to factory settings and had no content from their use. This is standard procedure for the agency.

The FBI employee who was issued Strzok's phone said she didn't remember it having any substantive messages on it. Page's phone was not found for several months, and finally found this September. It had also been reset with no messages.

The plot sickens for McCabe and Strzok: both under grand jury investigation

As they came to that point in time to ride out into the sunset, Andrew McCabe and Peter "Consonants" Strzok allegedly did what any sneaky scumwafer would do while they still had access ro FBI files and computers--they tried to destroy evidence and documents, according to well-placed FBI and DOJ sources.

But low and behold, they were caught in the process by a sting operation.

Two guys who were supposedly the sharpest knives in the proverbial drawer serving the FBI, and headed the nation's Intel apparatus, both independently set out to allegedly destroy incriminating evidence before being dumped by the Bureau. And neither genius had a clue they were being watched--which usually can be attributed to a high level of narcissism.

FBI Director Chris Wray thought they might try covering their tracks and, working with people from the Inspector General's office, they set up a sting operation to prevent evidence from being destroyed, both documents and digital evidence, two FBI sources confirm.

McCabe and Strzok were under round-the-clock surveillance at different times, both at the FBI office and outside of HQ in Washington, D.C. All documents, databases and files that were manipulated or deleted by both Strzok and McCabe were being recorded and documented by federal agents. Original records were restored after the two muffs left the FBI.

"They had no clue they were being watched," an FBI source said.

Another inside source said "there were similar patterns" in what each dirtbag accessed at the FBI before being canned.

As to whether federal agents and the IG were running wiretaps on McCabe's and Strzok's phones while they were with the Bureau, one FBI source said, "It's a wise deduction."

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe and Strzok was forced to resign after a public hearing on Capitol Hill in which he made faces that could only have been inspired by Satan himself. Both butt-munchers stayed with the Bureau long after they should have, but there was no rush to push them out while the sting operation was going on. And both Frick and Frack kept obliviously playing along.

Federal sources say a grand jury has been convened regarding the two mental giants, along with other former FBI personnel, and the evidence that had been gathered will be the focus of the grand jury, as well as other violations during their tenures to be considered.

Utah US attorney John Huber was quietly selected by Sessions in 2017 to work with the DOJ to examine FBI misconduct as the GOP claimed along with the FBI's failure to indict Hillary Clinton's ties to a Russian nuclear agency.

The entire procedure is "hush" according to high-profile FBI-linked people involved and added, "There is so much to tackle but from what I know, the grand jury is now moving into the witness phase."

Now we just need to wait and see what the outcome will bring.

Trump to declassify key FISA documents, text messages in FBI Russia probe

BREAKING: President Trump ordered the declassification of some key documents regarding the FBI probe of Russia's part in the 2016 presidential election, including an application for a renewed surveillance warrant against Carter Page, a Trump campaign aide, along with text messages from disgraced FBI officials and adulterers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said POTUS ordered the documents released "[a]t the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency."

Specifically, the documents to be declassified also include 12 FBI reports on interviews with DOJ official Bruce Ohr and all FBI reports on interviews prepared on connection with all other applications to surveil Carter Page.

Trump also ordered the DOJ to release text messages from key players in the Russia investigation "without redaction" --including fired FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Ohr, Strzok and Lisa Page.

The date and method of release has not yet been released.

About two weeks ago, 12 Republican members of Congress asked Trump to declassify the June 2017 application for a warrant against Carter Page and for FBI reports of interviews with Ohr.

This may turn out to be groundbreaking information that may cause a few, if not many, heads to roll.

More to come as information becomes available.

Amazing report claims Comey's FBI read less than 1% of Weiner's emails

In an amazing new report, RealClear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry uncovered an incredible find. Apparently, less than one percent of the hundreds of thousands of emails contained on former Congressman Anthony Weiner's laptop were actually read by then-FBI Director James Comey.

Sure, it's understandable why they would be loathe to handle Weiner's device, but it's their job.

Sperry found, among other things, that there were about 700,000 emails on the laptop, not the 300,000 the FBI claimed there to be, which belonged to then-husband of Huma Abedin, a close, long-time Hillary Clinton aide and confidante.

Many of the emails were between Clinton and Abedin, but only about 3,000 were looked at by the FBI because Comey may have thought that ignorance is bliss.

"James Comey told Congress that they had received all of the Clinton emails, hundreds of thousands, that were found on the Weiner laptop. But that was not true. They barely looked at any of them. Just 3,000 of 700,000," Sperry said on Fox News' "Ingraham Angle" hosted by Jason Chaffetz filling in for Ms. Ingraham.

Chaffetz was stunned, "Wait, wait, wait. They looked at how many?" he asked.

"Three thousand out of potentially relevant 700,000 emails were actually individually examined for classified information and incriminating evidence," he answered. "Peter Strzok, the disgraced agent who was in charge of this midyear investigation into the Clinton emails, he actually personally handpicked the 3,000 sample. And with two other investigators, they went through them all supposedly, pulled an all-nighter, ordered pizza, and said nothing new here. Case closed once again."

Sperry's report noted a total of 3,077 emails were "directly reviewed." He showed through detail after detail how Comey "skirted the truth" by claiming that "the FBI left no stone unturned" in the probe [except for the stone Comey hides behind].

"I've got to tell you, as the former member of the committee, as a former member of Congress, I mean, how can that be anything other than the director of the FBI lying to Congress and misleading us?" Chaffetz asked Sperry on air.

"Well he also swore under oath, that, he had this story that there was this miraculous breakthrough in technology that allowed the FBI to process the Weiner laptop for evidence rapidly," Sperry said. "Turns out that doesn't pass the smell test. That didn't check out either. Turns out there was a technical glitch that thwarted that effort."

The report ended with the question as tot he whereabouts of the Weiner laptop. It noted that it could still be with the FBI or perhaps returned to Abedin and Weiner for his tweeting pleasure.

"Wherever its location, somewhere out there is a treasure trove of evidence involving potentially serious federal crimes--including espionage, foreign influence-peddling and obstruction of justice--that has never been properly or fully examined by law enforcement authorities," Sperry concluded.

I believe that this is the truest definition of the deep state. And sadly, I don't believe anything will happen to those guilty of any offenses involved here.

POTUS pulls Brennan's security clearance

President Trump has revoked former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance on Wednesday. What took so long?

This is the first decision from a review of access for several top Obama administration intelligence and law enforcement officials.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a statement on behalf of President Trump at the start of the press briefing. She read that Brennan "has a history that calls his credibility into question."

The statement said that Brennan was "leveraging" his clearance to make "wild outbursts" and claims against the present administration.

"The president has a constitutional responsibility to protect classified information and who has access to it, and that's what he's doing is fulfilling that responsibility in this action," Sanders said.

The White House is also looking into the security clearances of other former officials and Trump critics, including former FBI director James "Lordy" Comey; former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe; former director of national intelligence James "Not Wittingly" Clapper; and former CIA director Michael Hayden.

The statement also mentioned Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, former FBI agent Peter Strzok, and former FBI special counsel Lisa Page [the married woman Strzok was having an extra-marital affair with].

Sanders said, "This is specific to Mr. Brennan and the others are currently under review."

And if they're allowed to keep their clearances, Trump will be making a yooge mistake.

BREAKING: FBI fires Peter Strzok

The FBI has fired Peter Strzok, the attorney, Aitan Goelman confirmed. He said that his client, an anti-Trump agent who, with his colleague and paramour, Lisa Page, exchanged messages indicating their hatred of Trump and insinuations that Strzok would do something about his presidency.

Strzok played a lead role in the Russian meddling investigation and the Hillary Clinton email probe that eventually got her a "Get Out of Jail" card.

After it was discovered that he was texting Page, he became a pariah to the agency and his wife wasn't too happy about his scumbaggery as well.

Goelman said in a statement Monday that Strzok, a 21-year FBI veteran, was fired Friday afternoon. He said the firing was a departure from the bureau's standard practice and that the FBI's deputy director "overruled" the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility.

"This decision should be deeply troubling to all Americans," Goelman said.

I'm an American and I like it just fine, Aitan.

Over the weekend POTUS tweeted that Strzok and others have "badly damaged" the FBI's reputation, calling them "clowns and losers!"

Strzok was removed from the special counsel probe headed by Robert Mueller after it was found that he exchanged anti-Trump and other politically charged messages with his covert bed partner.

FBI's Strzok 'smug,' 'defiant' and a toad in House interview

FBI adulterer Peter Strzok "laughed off" questions in a closed-door congressional interview this week. He was also described as "smug," but admitted he regrets sending anti-Trump texts, [meaning he regrets getting caught sending anti-Trump texts to his average-looking paramour], congressional sources told Fox News.

Strzok spoke behind closed doors [reminiscent of how he first would meet up with Lisa Page at a hotel]. He was interviewed before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday in his first congressional appearance regarding revelations of a boat-load of anti-Trump texts he exchanged with Lisa Page, a married woman and FBI colleague with whom he was having an illicit affair.

One congressional source said that "Strzok was smug, defiant, and laughed off a lot of questions." This may be due to a pending or future book deal.

The source also said that Strzok refused to answer some questions on the advice of counsel, in spite of him bragging that he would not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights.

Another source told Fox News that Strzok regretted sending the texts, but that makes sense because it got him kicked off the Russia probe.

A recent inspector general report chastised him and others for the anti-Trump texts and Strzok was escorted from his FBI office and lost his security clearance.

Strzok is fighting back after President Trump tweeted that Strzok "refused to answer many questions." His lawyer, Aitan Goelman countered Trump's claim explaining that Strzok "abided by his legal responsibility to follow the instructions of the FBI counsel, who sought to avoid the disclosure of information related to the Russia investigation."

Trump should stay out of this, I believe.

"It should come as no surprise that President Trump, who appears desperate to undermine the Special Counsel's investigation, is again viciously attacking Pete [Strzok] for playing by the rules," Goelman said in a statement. He noted that his client "wants full transparency around the examination of his work."

Perhaps they should question his work by asking where did Strzok and Page find the time on the job to text some 50,000 times?

What an arrogant creep . . . I'm sure his wife agrees.

FBI's Peter Strzok escorted out of the building

Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Strzok has left the building.

Strzok, the FBI agent who has been under fire over his vehement anti-Trump, pro-Clinton text messages to his mistress, Lisa Page, has been "escorted" from the FBI building, his lawyer, Aitan Goelman, told Fox News on Tuesday.

Goelman asserted that in spite of his client having "played by the rules," he has been targeted by "unfounded personal attacks, political games and inappropriate information leaks."

Page and her husband

"All of this seriously calls into question the impartiality of the disciplinary process," Goelman laughingly said in a statement, "which now appears tainted by political influence."

Do you see the irony here?

He added that scumcrumpet Strzok, a married man who cheated on his wife with a married woman, "has complied with every FBI procedure, including being escorted from the building as part of the ongoing internal proceedings."

What a guy. I wonder what would have happened if he refused to be escorted from the building.

"Instead of publicly calling for a long-serving FBI agent to be summarily fired, politicians should allow the disciplinary process to play out free from political pressure," Goelman said. "Our leaders and the public should be very concerned with how readily such influence has been allowed to undermine due process and the legal protections owed to someone who has served his country for so long. Peter Strzok and the American people deserve better."

The American people deserve an FBI agency whose leaders are beyond reproach. Peter Strzok deserves to be hauled out of the building by his ear along with his mistress.

The IG report said Page texted Strzok in August 2016, just prior to the election: ""[Trump's] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!" she wrote.

"No. No he won't. We'll stop it," Strzok responded.

The paramours sent about 50,000 text messages over the course of the 2016 presidential campaign and Trump's first year in office. Where did they find the time?

Some texts included comments that focused on Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and other texts attacked Trump and at least one attacked his followers, calling them POS [pieces of s**t]. And other texts showed an allegiance to former FBI Director James Comey after his firing in May 2017.

Hopefully, with Strzok's removal from the FBI, if that indeed is the case, the credibility of the agency will be restored.

Strzok-Page texts show they freaked out after Comey firing: 'DYING down here'

There are new text messages obtained from DOJ by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok both of whom are still employed by the FBI for some strange reason. 

The newly recovered messages exchanged between the Trump-hating lovers Strzok and Page reveal their shock and frustration after James Comey was fired by President Trump in May 2017. They apparently ran around like headless chickens reacting to the news.

The messages were transmitted to congressional committees on Thursday by the DOJ after the inspector general announced his office was able to recover missing communications sent during the critical period between December 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017, the time of Comey's canning and Mueller's appointment as Special Counsel.

On the day former FBI Director Comey was fired, the lovebirds exchanged a barrage of text messages.

"Ack dammit I'm DYING down here," Strzok wrote. He invited his sweetie pie to talk and suggested they do lunch with another person whose name was redacted. "Now more than ever this is an important, critical time."

Just moments before, Strzok wrote, "And we need to open the case we've been waiting on now while Andy is acting."

The "case" referred to is not known, but the message suggests Strzok wanted to act while Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was still in charge after Comey was sent packing.

Page replied, "We need to lock in [redacted]. In a formal chargeable way. Soon."

Several days afterward, their texts show Page and Strzok rallying behind Comey.

"Are you watching this s*t?!?? Call me when you're off..." Strzok texted. "... [Sarah Huckabee Sanders] said D [Comey] had 'lost confidence of rank and file of fbi.'"

The paramours exchanged texts days later about feeling a "sense of loss," over Comey's departure, evidently. "Having a tough time processing tonight, Lis. Feeling a profound sense of loss," Strzok wrote through tears of profound sadness.

Page replied: "I feel that same loss. I want to see what the FBI could become under him! His vision of greatness for our strong but flawed organization. I'm angry. Angry and mourning. We will endure, we just won't be as good."

Gag me with a spoon.

"Yeah I keep telling myself the organization is much bigger and stronger than any one person, that we'll endure. But that didn't seem to help," Strzok replied.

How very fair and balanced.

Documents suggest coordination between FBI, CIA, Obama WH and Dems in Trump-Russia probe

Text messages between FBI lovers/officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok were recently uncovered suggesting a possible covert coordination between high-ranking officials at the Obama White House, Justice Department, CIA, FBI and former Senate Democratic leadership in the early days of the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

According to investigators, the information provided to Fox News "strongly" suggests collusion between Obama's Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (aka "Hairy Weed") and former CIA Director and possible closet Muslim John Brennan. This would clearly "contradict" the Obama administration's public claim about its hand in the process.

A text by Lisa Page to Strzok on Aug. 2, 2016 read: 

"Make sure you can lawfully protect what you sign. Just thinking about congress, foia, etc. You probably know better than me."

The next day Strzok texted Page describing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew (Andy) McCable as being concerned with "information control" related to the initial investigation into Trump's campaign. Brennan was sent to Capitol Hill around the same time to brief members of Congress about possible election interference, according to the New York Times.

Five days later, Strzok texted Page:

"Internal joint cyber cd intel piece for D, scenesetter for McDonough brief, Trainor [head of FBI cyber division] directed all cyber info be pulled. I'd let Bill and Jim hammer it out first, though it would be best for D to have it before the Wed WH session."

"D" refers to since fired FBI Director James Comey and "McDonough" refers to Obama's Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, the GOP investigators said.

"We are not making conclusions. What we are saying is that the timeline is concerning enough to warrant the appointment of an independent investigator to look at whether or not the Obama White House was involved [in the Trump-Russia investigation]," a GOP congressional source told Fox News."

Of course, the CIA and FBI are independent agencies and are supposed to be non-partisan. Any coordination with the White House would be inappropriate.

But does anyone doubt the existence of partisanship with Comey, Strzok, Page, Brennan and McCabe?

It seems as if they collectively believed they were being patriotic by thwarting Trump from remaining in office, that somehow it was their patriotic duty to get him impeached.

But alas, semi-useless Attorney General Jeff Sessions has now determined there will be no second special counsel and nobody will be held accountable in any of the aforementioned agencies.

And Hillary Clinton will never pay for her use of an illegal server. 

And Susan Rice will still be on the Netflix board of directors in spite of her lies and deception to the American public about Benghazi being inspired by a stupid video. 

And Obama will continue to make asinine, self-aggrandizing speeches about how there may one day be "a million Obamas." 

And Facebook will continue to farm our data to the Democrats.

And the sun will rise, and the sun will set, and nothing changes.

New questions arise over Obama's role in Clinton email investigations

After Fox News reviewed thousands of yet unseen text messages between FBI lovers Peter Strzok (pronounced 'Pee-tuhr') and Lisa Page, there are new questions over their Strzok's role in the Clinton email investigation.

Previous texts depicted Strzok's and Page's clear disdain for half the nation (aka Republicans), and especially the then-presidential nominee and now President, Donald Trump. In their professional opinion, the President of the United States is a "f***ing idiot," among other professional insults.

Another new text shows Strzok calling Virginia's voters who did not vote for FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's wife for a state senate seat, "ignorant hillbillys." (sic)

I believe, however, that Virginia hillbillies would actually know how to spell the word, whereas Strzok, (whose surname is properly spelled "Smith") is so intelligent that he put his partisan opinion in a text and thus, out in the ether for all the world to eventually view.

Brilliant.

The text regarding Jill McCabe's hotly contested loss came on November 4, 2015, in which Strzok called the election result:

"Disappointing, but look at the district map. Loudon is being gentrified, but it's still largely ignorant hillbillys (sic). Good for her for running, but curious if she's energized or never again."

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) and the majority staff from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, is going to release all the texts along with a reported title, "The Clinton Email Scandal and the FBI's Investigation of it."

Strzok's paramour, Lisa Page, wrote to her lover on Sept. 2, 2016 about preparing talking points for former FBI Director, the inimitable James "Lordy" Comey, because "potus wants to know everything we're doing."

Another genius move by the undercover lovers.

Senate investigators told Fox News that this text raises questions about Obama's personal involvement in the Clinton email investigation. You know, the one whereby Hillary Clinton, as then-secretary of state, used an illegal private server [not to mention Anthony Weiner's laptop containing emails from Clinton] which was found to contain highly classified information that would have put an ordinary citizen, especially a Virginia hillbilly, in prison.

Strzok wrote to Page on Sept. 28, 2016, "Got called up to Andy's [McCabe] earlier...hundreds of thousands of emails turned over by Weiner's atty to sdny [Southern District of New York], including a ton of material from spouse [Huma Abedin]. Sending team up tomorrow to review...this will never end."

Not only does this raise questions as to when FBI officials learned about the emails on Weiner's computer but it also shows us that Strzok apparently alerts Page even when he has a bowel movement. What a lovely symbiotic couple of paramours.

It was only on October 28, 2016, when Comey told Congress that, "Due to recent developments," the Clinton case was being reopened by the FBI.

"Im connection with an unrelated case [Weiner's perverted sexting case], the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigation team briefed me on this yesterday . . ." Comey claimed.

So if the emails on Weiner's slimy laptop were discovered Sept. 28 at the latest, why was Comey only informed by his team on October 27th? It makes no sense.

On Election Day, 2016, potty-mouth Page wrote: "OMG THIS IS F***ING TERRIFYING." To which Strzok answered, "Omg, I am so depressed."

On Nov. 14, 2016 Page wrote, "God, being here makes me angry. Lots of high fallutin' national security talk. Meanwhile we have OUR task ahead of us."

Senate investigators believe the so-called task Page was referring to, and based on Strzok's August 15 text about an "insurance policy" regarding the presidential election should Trump get elected, further investigation is needed.

McCabe may have withheld Clinton evidence from Comey for 'weeks'

The Wall Street Journal reports that former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe may have learned about new Hillary Clinton emails on pervert Anthony Weiner's laptop almost a month prior to alerting Congress and may have waited weeks to tell then-FBI director James "Lordy" Comey of their existence. 

The WSJ said that a number of text messages shared between paramour FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page show McCabe "knew of thousands of new emails pertaining to Clinton's private email server used at the State Department on or before September 28, 2016."

Strzok and Page are under investigation for undermining the Clinton investigation as well as Mueller's inquiry into Trump campaign collusion with the Russians to influence the 2016 election.

The email between the lovebirds came exactly a month before Comey informed Congress that more evidence against Clinton's handling of classified information was found on the laptop of Weiner shared with his wife, Huma Abedin, a Clinton aide. 

This may show that McCabe wanted to wait before telling Comey.

Strzok texted Page on September 28th: "Got called up to Andy's [McCabe's] earlier. [H]undreds of thousands of emails turned over by Weiner's atty or sdny, includes a ton of material from spouse. Sending team up tomorrow to review . . . this will never end . . ."

Judicial Watch has put in a FOIA request asking for further evidence of McCabe's possible inaction on Clinton's emails. So far, the FBI is sitting on their hands like the Democrats did at the SOTU when Trump mentioned standing for the flag and the lowered black unemployment.

According to WSJ, the emails and text messages are now the subject of an internal FBI investigation about whether McCabe deliberately sat on the evidence of Clinton's illegal emails until the election was over in the hope that she won, or rekindle the investigation if somehow she lost to a TV reality star.

I mean, c'mon, what are the chances?

Newly released text messages of FBI lovebirds

Nearly 400 pages of additional text messages between two FBI love birds were released regarding the Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

The newly released texts show that Peter Strzok and his mistress, the beautiful pretty little Ms. Lisa Page, knew that charges against Democratic presidential candidate and former failed secretary of state Hillary Clinton, would not be filed in spite of her illegal activities. And they knew this even before Clinton was interviewed by the FBI. They even knew it before over a dozen others involved in the case were interviewed.

So like our politicians who are exempt from the government shutdown, Obamacare and insider trading law, Clinton was exempt from the Espionage Act and people in the FBI were never going to prosecute her.

Strzok and Page were removed from the probe last summer [but not from each other's arms, much to the chagrin of their spouses] after it was discovered that their private messages between them included anti-Trump rhetoric and allusions to plans of undermining him in office if, God forbid, he got elected. 

Which he did; sorry snowflakes.

One political love letter between the Strzok and Page, date July 1, 2016, discussed then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch's decision to accept the FBI's conclusion in the Clinton investigation. Her announcement came just days after it was revealed that Lynch covertly met with former President Bill "I Did Not Have Sex With That Woman" Clinton aboard her plane in Phoenix.

"Timing looks like hell," Strzok texted to Page.

"Yeah, that is awful timing," Page responded. She later added: "It'a a real profile in couragw [sic], since she knows no charges will be brought," alluding to the fact that they knew Hillary would be exonerated and the title of the book "Profiles in Courage" by John F. Kennedy, another philanderer.

Four days later, then-FBI Director James "Lordy-Lordy" Comey announced that no charges will be brought against Clinton.

Last month, the DOJ released hundreds of text messages that the FBI lovebirds traded before they joined the Mueller investigation. Many messages spoke to their observations of the 2016 election and also discussed the Clinton investigation. Based on the texts, GOP lawmakers contended the texts reveal the FBI and Mueller group to be politically biased and tainted against Trump.

Now the FBI should be made to prove that these missing texts between Strzok and Page are not an "obstruction" of congressional oversight or "destruction of evidence."

And with all of this mess, I suspect that nobody will be made to pay under the law.

San Francisco: Pier 39 Islamic terror attack avoided

A loser with nothing to live for

San Francisco, California -- Officials say they've stopped an Islamic convert and former Marine from carrying out a possible suicide Christmas terror attack on San Francisco's Pier 39.

The FBI arrested Everitt Aaron Jameson from Modesto and say he wanted to target the famous pier.

According to FBI documents, Jameson chose that location because he "had been there before and knew it was a heavily crowded area." He wanted to "funnel" people into an area in which he could inflict maximum casualties.

The psychopathic and religious inspiration for Jameson was inspired by the New York terror attack on October 31, when a crazed Muslim jihadi drove into a crowd of people in lower Manhattan.

Jameson was also posting and sending a lot of "Likes" on Facebook to pro-ISIS and pro-terrorism content.

Officials say Jameson spoke with an undercover FBI agent who was definitely not Peter Strzok. They said that he was arrested earlier this week and a search warrant was executed at his Modesto home. Several firearms and fireworks were found in his home.

Thankfully this was stopped in its tracks.

Top DoJ official no longer tops in officialdom

A senior Justice Department official was quietly demoted this week amid an ongoing investigation into his contacts with an opposition research team responsible for the anti-Trump "dossier." This information was given and confirmed by Fox News.

Bruce G. Ohr held two positions at the Justice Department: associate deputy attorney general and director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), "the centerpiece of the attorney general's drug strategy," according to the department's description.

Those positions were stripped from him on Wednesday morning.

While he will keep his OCDETF title, his higher post was taken from him--he was ousted from his fourth floor office of "Main Justice."

At first, senior department officials couldn't give the reason for his demotion, but it was later learned that evidence collected by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), shows that Ohr met during the 2016 campaign with Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the "dossier."

The DOJ later told Fox News, "It is unusual for anyone to wear two hats as he has done recently. This person is going to go back to a single focus--director of our organized crime and drug enforcement unit. As you know, combatting transnational criminal organizations and drug trafficking is a top priority for the Attorney General."

It was also discovered that Ohr met shortly after the election with the founder of Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson. This is the opposition research firm that hired Steele to compile the anti-Trump dossier with funds supplied by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, a known crime organization specializing in fraud and sexual misconduct.

By this point, the dossier had been in the possession of the FBI for five months, and the surveillance on Page had begun more than two months prior. The FBI, of course, exists under the auspices of the DOJ.

Former FBI Director James Comey, testified before the House in March and described the dossier as a compendium of "salacious and unverified" allegations against then-candidate Donald Trump and his associates.

Committee Chairman Devin Nunes' panel has been investigating whether DOJ, under then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, used the dossier to justify a foreign surveillance warrant against Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser. If so, this puts the dossier and FBI in a bad light.

Contacts between Ohr and Steele, and Ohr and Simpson, have not been publicly disclosed nor shared with HPSCI staff to avoid embarrassment. 

The panel has issued many subpoenas for documents and witnesses related to the dossier but say the DOJ and FBI have "stonewalled," and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R.-Wis.) agreed to that assessment publicly in October.

The agencies claim that they've cooperated extensively with Nunes and his team, but it was only last weekend they agreed to make available to the committee for questioning Peter Strzok (pronounced "Strzhzhokztlmfk") the high-ranking FBI official who seemed to be the guy involved in all the interviews involving political scandals and texted his mistress with anti-Trump messages and how he promises to one day leave his wife for her etc.

Strzok was removed from the staff of Special Counsel Robert Mueller who is probing allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Strzok was demoted to the FBI's position of Urinal Cake Installer.

Ohr's demotion marks the second one with a few months where the DOJ and FBI disciplined staff for misconduct.

At least it wasn't sexual misconduct . . . that we know of.
