It’s the end of the beginning for the Russia investigation. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team has reportedly filed the first criminal charges as part of the sprawling inquiry into Moscow’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, CNN reported Friday night.

Citing “sources briefed on the matter,” the network said a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., approved the charges, which have been sealed by a federal judge. CNN did not indicate who had been charged, how many people had been charged, or what charges had been filed by Mueller’s team. An arrest could come by Monday.

So... who's going to jail?

I assume it's trump related, but maybe not?

Mueller has reportedly probed whether Flynn was involved in a private effort to get former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's emails from Russian hackers.

Maybe Flynn will get sacrificed to "sell" the Russian angle?

The timing is very suspect as Mueller is coming under pressure from the right
media and with the Clinton uranium deal hitting the headlines which he and others
are implicated. The left were getting excited last night as CNN,MSNBC,Young Turks
and other out lets are speculating on Gen Flynn , Paul Manafort , as favourites and
Trump jnr and Jarred Kushner as outsiders which is ridiculous.

The split between left and right reporting is crazy virtually nothing about Clinton
from the left so far this week. Looking at the news outlets its like watching tribal
propaganda at its worst at times.

I don't post much MSNBC reports as its if they are living in a parallel world.
In the reports below they are calling the Hillary claims as distractions and
all last week have not swayed from there view, that it is only the Trump camp
that is indicated in Russia gate and Clinton is a innocent victim. The guests on the
segments are still saying the Russians Hacked the emails, Julian Assange the
Kremlin interfered with the 2016 election. Its crazy how closed minded they are....

The msm is known for outright lying... It's my belief Mueller, and the investigation team is there to hide all the dirty details about the Uranium deal, and the fake document ... The Trump investigation is the smoke screen / misdirection ...

This is what I think is going on also; but it seems kind of obvious and clumsy and could potentially cause further damage on it's own.

Actually filing charges and not just the usual smear or disinfo campaign seems like a bit of a desperate move. (or maybe I just hope it is....)

I mean.. is this kind of stuff just going to be ignored?

All the whooplah is over a fake report done at the request of Hillary Clinton paid for by her, to sway voters away fom her opponent ...Claiming Trump was working with the Russians to defeat Hillary, when in fact it was the DNC and Hillary Clinton, Podesta, and others who wre actually doing business with Russia selling 20 percent of our Uranium to Russia ... Now the deleting of 33,000 emails, smashing phones, private servers, bleach bit, her husband's speaking fees, all makes sense ... the special council is going behind the scenes cleaning up the bread cumbs while appearing to look for connections between Trump and Russia ... This is the scandal of scandals ...

If alex jones is correct and they arrest manafort tomorrow because he would not implicate trump could he then, out of fear and to try and keep his butt out of jail, start making up lies and implicate trump? It's such a filthy mess.

then in the trump thread turiya posted something about a congressman sponsoring bill to try to eliminate cash. Are they trying to pull the same thing that they did in 1913? while people at the time were not paying attention because it was Christmas Eve they passed the Fed Reserve act. So now everyone is focused on fake Russia russia they will pass behind our backs a cashless act of some sort? is all this a ruse to distract us while NWO legislation will be passed behind our backs?

I keep thinking that this move has to be purposefully sloppy to be a distraction; I don't wan't to be a trump fanboy and think that he's not doing the same in some manor (the Uranium deal for instance isn't as cut and dry as it is being presented). IF both sides are distracting us with political theater "battle of duality!" then what exactly are we being distracted from?

We have some easy candidates, Vegas shooting comes to mind... but maybe it's N Korea? (we just sent another carrier group there, 3 in the pacific for the first time in a long time (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/27/north-korea-us-operating-three-carriers-in-the-pacific.html))

I'm too distracted with hurricane stuff to be super update on geopolitical machinations (plus I only have internet at work... which is about every day, so I guess I effectively do have internet). Any other major events building? (I hear we are trying to ressurect the phoenix program in Afghanistan? that's pretty major).

I too am working now overtime. It is also the main time I read Avalon is while I'm working which is a lot. I too feel overwhelmed. Trump said in a tweet this morning in talking about the protection of the clintons in the dossier scandal "...Do Something". But none of us are going to do anything. We will read information and hope someone does something. We feel overwhelmed with the mundane aspects of our lives.

You ask if elements of both parties are in on a major distraction what are we being distracted from? I feel the cashless world is a major necessity for the elites to enslave us. If whatever this congressman grassley is trying to sponsor regarding going cashless it is slavery for us, all the while we are fixated on the russia scandal... but, what do I know....

When Trump alluded to this being a modern day Watergate, he wasn't kidding, even if the enormity of what it implies was understated.

Hannity described it as "the biggest political scandal in American History". Also correct.

This is literally opening the lid on the can of worms which goes back to Benghazi & beyond. It goes right back to Eisenhower's warning of the rise of Military Industrial Complex. JFK warned us again.

"Do Something" was aimed at US, "we the people" - we can no longer be complacent and "hope someone does something," because really, it's up to us.

We're still not listening.

Well, I'm not overly surprised that people in washington are shady AF... but this isn't the "russian link" we were told we would get...

Three former Trump campaign officials charged by special counsel

Special prosecutor Robert S. Mueller III on Monday revealed charges against three former Trump campaign officials — including onetime campaign chairman Paul Manafort — marking the first criminal allegations to come from probes into possible Russian influence in U.S. political affairs.

One of the three men charged, former Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, pleaded guilty earlier this month to making a false statement to FBI investigators who asked about his contacts with a foreigner who claimed to have high-level Russian connections. The agreement was unsealed Monday.

Court documents described extensive efforts Papadopoulos made to try to broker connections with Russian officials and arrange a meeting between them and the Trump campaign, though some emails show his offers were rebuffed.

The third person charged was Manafort’s longtime business partner, Rick Gates.............

The special counsel alleged that for nearly a decade Manafort and Gates laundered money through scores of U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships and bank accounts, and gave false statements to the Justice Department and others when asked about their work on behalf of a foreign entity.

All told, more than $75 million flowed through offshore accounts, the special counsel alleged. Manafort, the special counsel said, laundered more than $18 million, using his wealth acquired overseas to “enjoy a lavish lifestyle” in the United States, purchasing multimillion dollar properties and paying for home renovation.

Re: "Exclusive! Mueller's fake indictment of Manafort is a cover for Dems on uranium one scandal!"

Seriously? You think this is a fake? Ask Paul Manafort how fake the indictments are. No, wait - no possible - the scumbag is under house arrest.

Manafort is 'going down' in a criminal investigation that will reach right to the top.

And Papadopulous wearing a wire for three months over the summer/fall is going to make it far easier for Mueller.

Can't wait. :popcorn:

Then less than a month later, Sessions recused himself (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/us/politics/jeff-sessions-russia-trump-investigation-democrats.html)from any investigation into whether the Trump Administration colluded with Russians to swing the US 2016 election.

Next on April 25th, 2017, Rod Rosenstein was confirmed to be deputy attorney general (http://edition.cnn.com/2017/04/25/politics/rod-rosenstein-confirmed-deputy-attorney-general/index.html)by a vote of 94-6 in the Senate and on April 26th (https://www.justice.gov/dag/staff-profile/meet-deputy-attorney-general)he was sworn in. Then less than a month later, on May 17th, Rosenstein appointed a special counsel (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/appointment-special-counsel) and appointed his old friend from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Robert Mueller with the following directive –
The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James S. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including:
(i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and
(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and
(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a). We now know from information reported last week, that the FBI had an investigation into the Clintons and moneys they received from Russia in return for giving Russia 20% of all US uranium.

As reported (https://test.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/10/deep-state-fbi-knew-russia-funneled-millions-clinton-foundation-uranium-deal-nothing/) last week, prior to the Obama administration approving the very controversial deal in 2010 giving Russia 20% of America’s Uranium, the FBI had evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering in order to benefit Vladimir Putin, says a report by The Hill.

From the report we found out that the investigation was supervised by then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, who is now President Trump’s Deputy Attorney General, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who is now the deputy FBI director under Trump. We also know that Robert Mueller was the Head of the FBI at this time and he even hand delivered uranium to Russia (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/10/crooked-former-fbi-head-mueller-hand-delivered-uranium-to-russians-on-an-airport-tarmac-hand-picked-by-hillary/)on an airport tarmac before the Uranium One deal went through.

Obviously, all of this is very corrupt – the phony special investigation of President Trump, the appointment of Mueller by Rosenstein, the FBI investigation in 2009 that was hidden from Congress, the press and all Americans which involved with real collusion with Russia by the Obama Administration and the Clintons.

Now we find something startling. It appears that the special investigation created by crooked Rosenstein and his appointed special counsel - crooked Robert Mueller - is not legal!

According to Cornell Law School’s presentation of the Legal Code – 28 U.S. Code § 592 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/592)– Preliminary investigation and application for appointment of an independent counsel states –
(1) Application for appointment of independent counsel.—The Attorney General shall apply to the division of the court (https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?width=840&height=800&iframe=true&def_id=28-USC-94851467-191212297&term_occur=452&term_src=title:28:part:II:chapter:40:section:592) for the appointment of an independent counsel if—
(A)
the Attorney General, upon completion of a preliminary investigation under this chapter, determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that further investigation is warranted; or

(B)
the 90-day period referred to in subsection (a)(1), and any extension granted under subsection (a)(3), have elapsed and the Attorney General has not filed a notification with the division of the court (https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?width=840&height=800&iframe=true&def_id=28-USC-94851467-191212297&term_occur=453&term_src=title:28:part:II:chapter:40:section:592) under subsection (b)(1).In determining under this chapter whether reasonable grounds exist to warrant further investigation, the Attorney General shall comply with the written or other established policies of the Department (https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/uscode.php?width=840&height=800&iframe=true&def_id=28-USC-848184146-2029586402&term_occur=325&term_src=title:28:part:II:chapter:40:section:592) of Justice with respect to the conduct of criminal investigations.

As noted above Rosenstein was in his job less than a month when he set the special counsel up and he did so with no preliminary investigation that was ever stated as part of the reasoning for setting up the investigation. If Rosenstein did set up the special counsel based on any work from the previous FBI Director Comey, then the investigation is tainted as we also know now that Comey committed crimes for leaking classified information to the press based on his own sworn testimony.

Rosenstein and Mueller’s special investigation is not legal. It is not based on the law. It is a fraud.

Update – Comments noted below suggest that a different statute to reference is 28 CFR Part 600 which does not carry the above wording related to preliminary investigations. However, it does state that that Attorney General or Acting Attorney General has other options than to set up a special prosecutor (such as perform a preliminary investigation). Also, the special prosecutor is to be “a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decision making”. Clearly, something Mueller is not. Also, another comment notes that Mueller has an unlimited budget (https://amgreatness.com/2017/06/21/muellers-empire-legions-lawyers-bottomless-budget-limitless-jurisdiction/), legions of lawyers and a limitless jurisdiction. All of these items add up to a corrupt investigation being performed by corrupt individuals.

Tony Podesta Resigns As Head Of Podesta Group Amid Mueller Probe (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-30/tony-podesta-resigns-lobbying-group-amid-mueller-probe)

Oct 30, 2017 4:02 PM

As the left and the media ramp up their Manafort-ian mania against Trump, it appears the trail of destruction from special counsel Mueller’s probe has spread to Democratic power-lobbyist Tony Podesta.

...emails obtained by the Associated Press showed that Gates personally directed two Washington lobbying firms, Mercury LLC and the Podesta Group, between 2012 and 2014 to set up meetings between a top Ukrainian official and senators and congressmen on influential committees involving Ukrainian interests. Gates noted in the emails that the official, Ukraine’s foreign minister, did not want to use his own embassy in the United States to help coordinate the visits.
…
And this is where the plot thickens, because while the bulk of the press has so far spun the entire Ukraine lobbying scandal, which led to Manafort’s resignation, as the latest “proof” that pro-Moscow powers were influencing not only Manafort but the Trump campaign in general (who some democrats have even painted of being a Putin agent), the reality is that a firm closely tied with the Democratic party, the Podesta Group, is just as implicated.

And now, just hours after Manafort and Gates handed themselves over to the feds, Politico reports, (https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/30/tony-podesta-stepping-down-from-lobbying-giant-amid-mueller-probe-244314?lo=ap_a1)the founder of the Podesta Group, is stepping down from the lobbying shop that bears his name after coming under investigation by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.

Podesta also told staff he “doesn’t intend to go quietly, or learn how to play golf.” He said he “needs to fight this as an individual, but doesn’t want the firm to fight it.”

Why did Intelligence Community brief President Obama with Clinton/DNC opposition research?
The Obama Administration has now been entangled in the Fusion GPS – Trump dossier scandal, with Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showing that former POTUS Barack Obama’s campaign organization, Obama For America (OFA), paid $972,000 to Perkins Coie, the law firm that hired Fusion GPS to put together a discredited Trump smear dossier.
The fact that Obama was also working with Perkins Coie raises many questions that need answers…mainly why was Obama paying nearly $1 million to a law firm that was handling the dirty Clinton campaign Trump smear dossier?

So despite the rumor there will not be any charges against Podesta? not even some crumbs for us, heh?

And why do some still feel all this is leading to impeachment? why when trump is now a hostage to warmongering neo-cons would they bother impeaching him? I understand why the leftist creeps want it - emotional gratification. They're too dumb to understand that is all they are ever getting, emotional gratification. But more importantly is there a reason that the neo-cons would want him impeached? He's apparently powerless against them and is not/or can't, lift his voice against them so why bother impeaching?

Do the elitists want a neo-con hierarchy sitting on top of a left wing cultural underbelly?

Amen to that. These two are so obvious in their servitude to the world oligarchy with their non-stop drumbeat for perpetual war. I have never seen a pair of politicians that constantly attack a President who is in their party.

Can they be any more obvious about practicing politics due to their own state of being compromised, coerced or co-conspiratorial? Both of these miserable little traitors should be hung from light poles for their treason.

Tony Podesta Resigns As Head Of Podesta Group Amid Mueller Probe (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-30/tony-podesta-resigns-lobbying-group-amid-mueller-probe)

Oct 30, 2017 4:02 PM

As the left and the media ramp up their Manafort-ian mania against Trump, it appears the trail of destruction from special counsel Mueller’s probe has spread to Democratic power-lobbyist Tony Podesta.

...emails obtained by the Associated Press showed that Gates personally directed two Washington lobbying firms, Mercury LLC and the Podesta Group, between 2012 and 2014 to set up meetings between a top Ukrainian official and senators and congressmen on influential committees involving Ukrainian interests. Gates noted in the emails that the official, Ukraine’s foreign minister, did not want to use his own embassy in the United States to help coordinate the visits.
…
And this is where the plot thickens, because while the bulk of the press has so far spun the entire Ukraine lobbying scandal, which led to Manafort’s resignation, as the latest “proof” that pro-Moscow powers were influencing not only Manafort but the Trump campaign in general (who some democrats have even painted of being a Putin agent), the reality is that a firm closely tied with the Democratic party, the Podesta Group, is just as implicated.

And now, just hours after Manafort and Gates handed themselves over to the feds, Politico reports, (https://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/30/tony-podesta-stepping-down-from-lobbying-giant-amid-mueller-probe-244314?lo=ap_a1)the founder of the Podesta Group, is stepping down from the lobbying shop that bears his name after coming under investigation by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.

Podesta also told staff he “doesn’t intend to go quietly, or learn how to play golf.” He said he “needs to fight this as an individual, but doesn’t want the firm to fight it.”

Podesta Group may close by the end of the year: report (11 Nov, 2017)

http://thehill.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumb_small_article/public/podestagroup_041317gn_lead.jpg?itok=7QDjYeV_

The lobbying firm founded by longtime Democratic operative Tony Podesta is reportedly on the verge of shuttering after being swept up in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.

Kimberley Fritts, the Podesta Group's chief executive, told employees on Thursday that the firm would not exist at the end of the year and that they would likely not be paid through the end of November, sources told CNN.

Fritts announced her resignation from the top Washington lobbying group after Podesta left the company amid ties to indictments filed in the Russia investigation.

The Podesta Group was hired along with another firm to do work for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner Richard Gates, who are facing charges of covering up years of work for a pro-Russia Ukrainian political party and laundering their profits to avoid U.S. detection.

The indictments against Manafort and Gates say that the two did not properly register as foreign agents for their consulting work with the Ukrainian groups. Both men have pleaded not guilty.

Mueller is now investigating whether the Podesta Group properly identified to U.S. authorities its foreign work on behalf of a Ukrainian advocacy group in Europe, CNN reported.

Fritts is beginning work on launching a new firm. Her last day at the company Friday created new uncertainty for the Podesta Group after the departure of Podesta on Oct. 30.

Multiple employees who spoke to The Hill said the mood at the firm was mostly optimistic, though they said many of the firm's dozens of employees could be in limbo as Fritts sets up the new firm and brings Podesta Group talent and clients with her.

Staff said the transition to the new firm would take place in weeks, not months, while senior members of the firm have been trying to keep as many clients as possible.

Whistleblowers line up to accuse Mueller of lying to the Senate, surveilling Trump (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/whistleblowers-line-accuse-mueller-lying-senate-surveilling-trump/)

Patrick Howley Big League Politics (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/whistleblowers-line-accuse-mueller-lying-senate-surveilling-trump/)

https://www.sott.net/image/s21/438319/large/AP_Mueller_ABC_News.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s21/438319/full/AP_Mueller_ABC_News.jpg)

Special counsel Robert Mueller is facing new problems as multiple intelligence agency whistleblowers and former underlings accuse him of overseeing and covering up massive off-the-books surveillance activities during his tenure as director of the FBI.

A former FBI special agent accuses Mueller of lying to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence regarding the scope of his surveillance programs. Another NSA and CIA whistleblower accuses Mueller of overseeing a secretive program that surveilled President Donald Trump while Trump was a private citizen - an accusation that is already being heard in court. Another whistleblower claims that former FBI agents would testify with documentation that Mueller stifled their investigations into certain terrorist networks. These accusations could form the basis of a congressional investigation, or could be used by insiders close to the president as leverage in the Russia collusion case dominating Washington discourse.

Former Mueller employee Chuck Marler told Big League Politics in an exclusive statement that Mueller lied to the Senate, informing the Intelligence Committee that his surveillance programs were smaller and less wide-ranging than they really were. Mueller's lies blocked Senate oversight of his work and allowed him to expand surveillance programs that concerned officials in his own Bureau. FBI agents who complained were punished and threatened with arrest.

Here is Chuck Marler's statement to Big League Politics, presented in its entirety:
"I used to work for the Special Surveillance Group (SSG) at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Robert Mueller was my Director. I have been wrestling with his disregard for my safety and his dishonesty with my and other coworkers' concerns. That is why in 2008 I decided to quit the Bureau early and start my own business and get away from the corruption of certain members of the FBI management. I saw firsthand how dishonest some of them could be. Since Mueller has taken over as Special Counsel, I've been concerned about him continuing that behavior which leads me to the following.

Mueller and certain members of FBI Management deceived the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in 2005 and they intimidated and bullied the U.S. Office of Personnel Management from 2005 through 2008.

Mueller and individuals in FBI Management were continually notified by members of the SSG that their surveillance activities were growing way beyond the scope of their operational plan before Congress and that their safety was at stake. After 9/11, the program had expanded at a rapid pace. The members of the SSG were happy to take on the vastly growing surveillances throughout the country but they wanted better protection, better compensation and more clear duties defined through Congress. Mueller and FBI Management continually ignored their cries for help.

In the Summer of 2005, two FBI employees in the SSG Program wrote a letter and mailed it to every member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). The two FBI employees were notified by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison's office of receipt of the letter. Those same two FBI employees and two additional employees wrote another letter and mailed it to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). That opening letter to the OPM was very generic because their work is considered Secret due to their undercover status conducting Counter Terrorism and Counter Intelligence work. The OPM letter only listed their names, job title, office and generic nature of their complaint. The letter to the SSCI was more informative due to SSCI's level of classification regarding U.S. Intelligence.

The two employees involved in the SSCI letter were informed by staff at Senator Hutchison's Office of Mueller's response to the letter. The two employees knew the response was not truthful.

OPM opened a routine complaint/inquiry based on the letter that they received from the four FBI employees. The OPM officer that had the misfortune to be assigned the job, sent an initiation letter to FBI Headquarters to gain security clearance to begin her assessment. She was immediately threatened with arrest by FBI agents. Subsequently and because of the letter, the four FBI employees were threatened with arrest, imprisonment, raids of their residences and loss of their job. Although better security and more defined operational duties eventually were hammered out, it was no thanks to Mueller. The four employees and their squad supervisor were overtly and covertly punished, then and to this day.

The information I have relayed to you is important but in the current climate of intimidation of whistleblowers and continued dishonest activity of some in the FBI, I have been reluctant to relay in this much detail. The reason (beyond disgust with Mueller and Comey) that I inform you now is because I know you have contacts with Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch may benefit from a FOIA request regarding communications Mueller and FBI Management had with Senator Hutchinson's Office and the OPM from 2005 thru 2008. I know the OPM Officer, the FBI employees and their supervisor because obviously I was one of the four employees. I do not suspect the gathering of evidence to Mueller's dishonesty regarding this matter will be easy to obtain because of the cloud of secrecy it entails but I pray Mueller will answer for his actions." CIA and NSA whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, a computer specialist, claims that he worked on a massive nationwide phone-surveillance spying program during the Bush administration under the direction of John Brennan and James Clapper, who both became Obama administration officials. Montgomery says that Mueller, as director of the FBI under Bush, oversaw the phone-spying program.

"This is very, very, very powerful technology, and it was created under Robert Mueller's watch. The last person I would think that should be investigating Donald Trump is Robert Mueller, who was collecting information on Donald Trump ten years ago ... Mueller has a huge conflict of interest, a huge conflict of interest," Montgomery said in an interview. (https://www.commdiginews.com/politics-2/cia-whistleblower-muellers-fbi-computers-spied-on-trump-and-scotus-91264/)
"I provided to the FBI seventeen businesses of Donald Trump, including the Trump Tower, the Trump leasing programs, all of these different programs, and including Trump himself and the various family members that had been wiretapped under these programs," said Montgomery (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/cia-whistleblower-speaks-wiretap-trump-years/).

"There has been a wiretap on Trump for years."

"I started by going to Maricopa County and showing that Sheriff Arpaio himself was wiretapped under the Obama administration," said Montgomery.

"I was a CIA contractor both under John Brennan and under James Clapper and these individuals were running domestic surveillance programs in the United States collecting information on Americans. This isn't political. They were collecting information on Republicans and Democrats. But they collected everything they could find. Bank accounts, phone numbers, chats, emails, and they collected a massive amount of it under the Obama administration," Montgomery added.
Montgomery, the whistleblower, has sued (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/whistleblower-sues-james-comey-covering-surveillance-trump/) James Comey for allegedly covering up information on the program, which Montgomery said was being operated on FBI computers.

As Big League Politics reported (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/claim-john-brennan-contractor-spied-donald-trumps-phone-calls-audio/): real estate mogul Timothy Blixseth claims that he saw records from Montgomery proving that Obama CIA director John Brennan oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens.

Former FBI contractor Sibel Edmonds, another whistleblower, told Infowars (https://www.infowars.com/sibel-edmonds-robert-mueller-covered-up-islamic-terror-networks/) that Mueller put the muzzle on FBI agents' investigations into certain terrorist networks.
"Imagine my shock when I saw that Robert Mueller was appointed as the special counsel in this case, the same Robert Mueller, who in my case, put gag orders together with attorney general Ashcroft," Edmonds told Alex Jones.

"There were FBI agents, not only in the Washington field office, but also in the Chicago and Patterson field offices, who were blowing the whistle on Mueller internally, saying he's squashing our investigations [into terror networks]," Edmonds said.

"I know of several veteran, highly decorated FBI agents, if subpoenaed, would testify that how Robert Mueller, due to what he was doing as the director of the FBI, can not preside as the special counsel in this case," Edmonds said. "It's a slam dunk case, it's documented."
Edmonds made a video on the subject for her website Newsbud.

This is a very good write up on the Mueller investigation, DOJ/FBI coup attempt and the general ****ery that has been going on.. gonna need lots of popcorn soon :popcorn:

Mueller's probe is entering it's 'critical phase' according to the media. They still haven't figured out what's going on. Dan Coats, Mike Pompeo, Mike Rogers....these guys aren't being interviewed by Mueller in regards to nailing Trump.

Trump actually IS looking forward to being interviewed by Mueller.

What do you think Coats, Pompeo, Rogers &Trump told/will tell Mueller in these interviews?

When they became aware of the 'secret society' making it's moves to spy on/entrap Trump & his people.
It's all coming together. The plotters spent the time from the election to early Jan. setting up a plan to use Flynn's phone calls about Russian sanctions as a pretext to launch an investigation they could turn into an impeachment.
While they coordinated with media allies thru #FusionGPS, the #secretsocietysedition group in the DOJ first had to make sure their communications 'went dark', which they did.
They then coordinated with media allies at Buzzfeed and The Washington Post and the New York Times and other outlets to launch two narratives in early January.
These people had been leaking to the media all during the 2016 presidential election campaign, so this coordination wasn't hard to set up.

They also had a well established relationship with #FusionGPS, as the evidence has shown & will continue to show.
The plan the #SecretSocietySedition group came up with during those offsite meetings was this: they were going to create a media demand for Flynn to be investigated for Russia collusion.
As I'm going to show you, these plotters inside the DOJ/FBI are well versed in this tactic. Use media allies to drive a false narrative that calls for an investigation, then start the investigation & take it where they want it to go.
The first step in launching the plot to frame Lt. General Michael Flynn as a traitor who was violating the Logan Act was to use media allies at Buzzfeed to finally put the entire #SteeleDossier out into the open by publishing all of it.

This happened on Jan. 11, 2017.
Ah. The actual Buzzfeed article says Jan. 10. Here it is:

These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia

A dossier, compiled by a person who has claimed to be a former British intelligence official, alleges Russia has compromising information on Trump. The allegations are unverified, and the report contains errors.
https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-deep-ties-to-russia?utm_term=.fiGjN8Br8#.hp0dQ2xR2

Now go back in your memory to early January, 2017.

The media is still in shock that Queen Hillary's Long Awaited Coronation did NOT happen.
The Dem base is ANGRY. They want to know how this could possibly have happened, especially after the MEDIA repeatedly told them Hillary had this in the bag.

They are demanding AN EXPLANATION of how Donald Trump could POSSIBLY beat Hillary.
Well remember, back in November after her stunning defeat, Team Hillary *immediately* began loudly claiming one of the biggest reasons she lost is because the RUSSIANS interfered in our election, helping to throw it to Trump.
The media, eager to cover up for just how disastrously wrong all their polls & coverage had been, seized on this narrative and spent the remainder of November and all of December 2017 relentlessly 'explaining' this was how Trump won & Hillary lost. CHEATING. She wuz ROBBED.
Obama reacts to all this media driven hysteria about Russian interference. WITHOUT giving Trump's transition team a heads up, he suddenly announces harsh new Russian sanction & expels 35 Russian diplomats on Dec. 29th, 2016.

Obama expels 35 Russian diplomats in retaliation for US election hacking
https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/2e3fb08156a77513b6f329dd1c8a442f217dc34d/0_179_3179_1907/master/3179.jpg
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/29/barack-obama-sanctions-russia-election-hack

President-elect Trump asks his incoming National Security Advisor, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, to contact the Russians and ask them not to overreact to what Obama just did.

Flynn makes a series of phone calls to then-US Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak on Dec. 29th.
As the intelligence intercepts of these phone calls on unsecured lines later showed to investigators, absolutely nothing illegal was done during these phone calls. Flynn discussed a UN vote with Kislyak & then urged Russia not to retaliate or do anything harsh.
However, when the intel intercepts of these phone calls were put into intelligence reports, they were seen by members of the #SecretSocietySedition group.

And somebody went "Oh hey. we can use this."
"Now, there's nothing illegal in this phone call, looking at the transcripts. *But*...what if we PLANT A MEDIA NARRATIVE THAT THERE WAS? What if we used our media friends to get calls for Flynn to be investigated coming from everywhere?"
So: first step in getting this plan enacted: they get Buzzfeed to 'prove' real live intelligence sources 'found' 'real' 'evidence' proving that Trump 'colluded' with Russia & this is how he stole the election from Hillary.
The totally fake #SteeleDossier is seized upon by both an angry media and an angry Democrat base & political machine as PROOF that Hillary had just been CHEATED by Trump and the Russians.
So Buzzfeed publishes the #SteeleDossier on Jan. 10th, 2017.

HYSTERIA IMMEDIATELY ENSUES.

What happens two days LATER on January 12th, 2017?

THIS story appeared in the Washington Post:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUWA_UVVoAAWvcq.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUWBEnQU8AEX33-.jpg

Right into the middle of this newly launched media-driven hysteria over Russians helping Trump cheat to win the election, this column based on a criminal leak from a classified intelligence report appears with the sole purpose of PUTTING A TARGET ON FLYNN'S BACK.
You gotta remember what that atmosphere was like back in January 2017. People literally were TERRIFIED of Trump becoming President. He was going to blow up the world!

They were also INFURIATED Hillary had been robbed. By Russian collusion with Trump.
And then all of a sudden, just in the span of TWO DAYS, media narratives are launched like V-2 rockets heading for the stratosphere that

1) Trump DID steal the election with Russian help, read this dossier!

and

2) Trump continued colluding, read about Flynn's phone calls!
The USA needed SAVING from a mad puppet of the Kremlin, and so a brave patriot high up on our government risked breaking the law to expose that nefarious Flynn tryin' ta do some kinda SECRET DEAL to undermine Obama's new sanctions!
Only, as we all know *now*, that's not really what was happening.

This was a coup attempt launched by political partisans inside the DOJ that started with framing an innocent man for something that wasn't a crime.
But both narratives were successfully launched. Starting on January 10th with the publishing of the #SteeleDossier, intensifying dramatically 2 days later with the publishing of the Ignatius column, cries for investigations & prosecutions intensified and built.
By Jan. 20th, 2017 as Trump was inaugurated, the hysteria from these false narratives were still building.

At least SOMEBODY in the new administration took steps to push back. They announced on Jan. 23rd the FBI had investigated Flynn's phone calls, found nothing illegal.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUWFZJ5VMAAzKId.jpg

But remember: that #SecretSocietySedition group is out to save America from a madman. This 'insurance policy' is a Hail Mary pass, but they feel they just HAVE to take it.

And so on January 24th, FBI agents led by Peter Strzok show up to interrogate Flynn.
Under Strzok's questioning, it doesn't take Flynn, a 33 year intelligence operative and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, to smell a rat.
Remember, Strzok seems to be a charter member of this #SecretSocietySedition group. He may have played a role in leaking that intel report about Flynn to Ignatius himself just 12 days earlier.
What was the plan the #SecretSocietySedition group inside the DOJ hatched?

To take Flynn's perfectly legal phone calls with Kislyak and turn them into a serious crime.

Flynn instantly realizes Strzok is questioning him as if he's done something REALLY BAD.
Flynn has 33 years experience in the intelligence field. He is well aware of the fact any phone calls made to top Russian diplomats on unsecured phones are monitored by US intelligence agencies.

Flynn knows that *Strzok* would also know this.
So it's likely the entire line of questioning in this interrogation was absurd.

Strzok was pressing Flynn to admit he was trying to do a secret deal with the Russians to undermine the newly imposed Obama sanctions on Russia.
It's also very likely during the course of this interrogation, Strzok kept pressing Flynn to say it was then-President Elect Trump who told him to call up the Russians & try to do this 'secret deal'.
Now, Flynn is not an idiot. In fact, he's a very sharp guy.

He READ that report in the Washington Post 12 days earlier. He knows about the narrative that was launched based on a criminal leak from a very highly placed US gov't official.
SOMEBODY is trying to make it look like his legal phone calls to Kislyak were a very serious crime. They launched a media narrative, and now here's an FBI agent who should *KNOW* that narrative is absurd pretending it's real.
Here's something Flynn also knew on Jan. 24th, as he's watching this FBI agent press him to admit it was Trump who told him to make that 'secret deal' with the Russians:

Obama gov't people had been spying on Trump's team for months.
NSA Director, Admiral Mike Rogers had already alerted Trump's transition team to the fact they were being illegally spied on back in Nov. 2016.
This was why after Roger's visit to Trump Tower on Nov. 17th, 2016, later that night Trump suddenly announced he was moving his transition to Bedminster, NJ the VERY NEXT DAY.

Even before THAT, I'm sure Trump & his team members knew there were people in the Obama administration & holdovers that were playing dirty pool & planning to come after them.
So here's Flynn, looking at Strzok angrily trying to get him to say Trump ordered him to do some kind of illegal, secret deal with Kislyak to undermine the new sanctions.

Flynn INSTANTLY realizes what's happening.
"I'm the target of a plot to pull the incoming President into a criminal investigation by a faction of politically motivated partisans inside the DOJ."

So he didn't give the plotter sitting in front of him the answers he was looking for.
And here's the key point: Flynn didn't give Strzok the answers he was looking for EVEN WHEN the answers he gave directly contradicted his own prior statements about the phone calls or things he said on the transcripts of the calls themselves.
So....yes, it's highly likely Lt. Gen. Flynn gave deliberate false answers to questions during his interview with Strzok.

But as I've laid out here, I think he had very good reasons for doing that.
Even if he is on the phone call transcripts at some point, saying "Sergey, Trump wanted me to call you...."

when Strzok asked him "Did Trump tell you to make these phone calls?"

Flynn lied to him. "No, this was all my own idea."
Now, true: this opens Flynn up to the charge of PERJURY. He is in fact lying to a federal investigator.

But here's the point: That's all that's going to happen.

If Flynn WON'T ADMIT Trump asked him to make the calls, where can the plot go?
CAN they actually charge Flynn with treason, violating the Logan Act, trying to do a secret deal with the Russians?

Well OF COURSE THEY CAN'T. They always knew this.

The *transcripts* of the calls shows nothing illegal happened.
Remember: these plotters are desperate and their ideology blinds them.

This plot needed to unfold FAST. Trump had be taken out EARLY. This was all supposed to have run it's course by March or April at the latest.
These people actually were confident they could quickly manufacture a completely bogus case of collusion using Flynn, pull Trump into it, and get Trump out of office in just 2-3 months.
But they hit their first snag on Jan. 24th when Flynn falls on his sword and won't LET them pull Trump into the investigation.

"No, I made these calls on my own initiative." Flynn likely told them, a completely innocent look on his face.
OK, the plotters regroup. What can they do now?

All they've got to investigate here is a perjury charge generated during an interview about phone calls they already know were legal.

They can't REALLY press on with the 'secret deal to undermine the sanctions' BS.
They publicize the fact Flynn got caught lying to FBI investigators.
And that he likely took steps to freeze out all other Trump administration officials from this by not telling them things about his being investigated by the FBI.

So Flynn ends up being fired.
This is when James Comey decides to get creative. They can STILL use their Flynn investigation to get Trump, he's sure of it.
All you have to do is use media allies to sell a narrative that Trump ORDERED Comey to back off or end the Flynn investigation. That'd be obstruction of justice, right?
Trump fired Comey in early May, likely after seeing enough evidence of all the shenanigans that'd gone on at the DOJ as the plotters spied on his campaign on Comey's watch, and then framed Flynn for a non-crime.
Watch what happens: Comey turns to media allies to launch a narrative. Through a friend, he has 1 of 7 memos he illegally took with him after his firing leaked anonymously to the NYT's, claiming Trump obstructed the FBI investigation of Flynn.
Still doing this all anonymously, Comey calls through his media allies for a special counsel to be appointed to investigate this President & all the Russian collusion that supposedly occurred during the 2016 election.
Having created the demand through his anonymous leaking campaign, Comey then dramatically comes out from behind the curtain & appears before Congress to testify & demand the appointment of a special counsel.
What the country needs right now, Comey tells the Congressional committee, is a special prosecutor & a very special team looking into President Trump's obstruction of the Flynn investigation & Russian collusion.
Comey gets exactly what he demands. Robert Mueller is appointed to investigate both the Flynn obstruction charge and the Russian interference into the election.
Now since May, when Mueller & this team began investigating, various theories have been floated, some by me, as to whether Mueller is a white hat helping Trump or a black hat, one of the members of the 'secret society'.
What people need to remember is this: while theories are nice to play around with, and I myself enjoy them highly, it actually DOESN'T MATTER if Mueller is a white hat, black hat, gray hat.

Why is that?

Because there's nothing REAL for him to find.
There was no 'Russian Collusion'.

And let's be honest here: since the DOJ IG investigation surfaced dramatically last December like a sub breaking the ocean surface, there is NO WAY Mueller & his team would try to fake a case against Trump at this point.
HOW would Mueller & his team successfully manage to manufacture a fake case of Russian collusion against Trump & his team with THIS guy standing behind them, looking over their shoulders ESPECIALLY since they now know he's there?

I myself find Mueller's hours-long interview with Trump - supposedly for the FBI director's job - the day before he was appointed to the special counsel position quite intriguing.
Mueller then went out & assembled a rather large team made of what is now known to be a rather rabid group of politically partisan Democrats.

This has caused a lot of Trump supporters anxiety since May, a period now stretching to 9 months.

Well don't worry.
As it so happens,while the #SecretSocietySedition group in the DOJ was doing it's desperate coup plotting, somebody was watching them.

Carefully.
Quietly.
Patiently.

Even before assuming office.

J. SESSIONS!

This person very likely had a *very* good idea what was going on inside the department he was about to assume control of.

And he had an ally ready to step in and help him expose, then prosecute all the illegal activity that had been going on. And was continuing to go on.
For months all you heard about Jeff Sessions was that he was 'recused' and since he wasn't publicly talking much about what he was doing, it was assumed he wasn't doing much at all.

And DOJ IG Michael Horowitz? A nonentity. Nobody knew him or remembered he was there.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUWVw9NUMAAairH.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUWVy7gU0AAO4yV.jpg

So from May, all the way to about December 12th of last year, a period of some 8 months, people assumed Mueller's team had Trump & his people on the ropes, and Mueller could KO Trump at any moment.
The reality?

Mueller's team was digging and digging and digging and...finding NOTHING.

All they've managed was 4 process violation type indictments.

Manafort/Page for FARA lobbying, Flynn & Papadopoulos for perjury.

That's it. So far.
How bad has it gotten? In the last 4 months we've repeatedly seen the media think it's finally found that smoking gun & rush it out to the launch pad and......

watched it blow up on the launch pad.
They have NOTHING.

They're going to find NOTHING.

Because there is NOTHING to find.

This #SecretSocietySedition group was SPYING on Trump & his team as early as APRIL OF 2016. If they'd found ANYTHING they could use, you've have seen it LONG AGO.
The Brian Ross fiasco. "Candidate Trump told Flynn to call the Russians and....oh wait....ha ha sorry folks...uh....actually....that was President-elect Trump, sorry!" :(
The Don Jr. Wikileaks email fiasco. "3 independent sources tell us on the 4th Don Jr. was sent this email about this before it was public and....wait, WHAT?! The 14th? It was actually the 14th?! Well....never mind!"
The DeutscheBank fiasco. "We have a source that tells us DeutscheBank REPORTED Jared Kushner to authorities for suspicious financial transactions! A subpoena was issued and...what? DeutscheBank denies it? THEY'RE GONNA SUE US?!"

Deutsche Bank says it didn't flag Kushner accounts as 'suspicious' (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/370188-deutsche-bank-denies-report-that-it-flagged-kushner-accounts-as)

This is why they keep burning themselves over and over again. They desperate for real evidence of collusion to surface, so they don't look at it or examine it too closely when a source offers it to them, they rush it out the door.

and then BOOM!

It blows up in their faces.
The #SecretSocietySedition group has nothing REAL to feed them.

All of their narratives they've fed their media allies have been FAKE.

Flynn's 'illegal' phone calls? FAKE

Trump 'obstructing' the Flynn investigation? FAKE
Now you're supposed to be REALLY concerned and fearful as Mueller brings in Trump and Rogers and Coats and others to grill them 'Russian interference'.

Of course, the MEDIA & DEMOCRATS & their base will sell it like this spells DOOM FOR TRUMP, etc. etc.
Real or not, Mueller's investigation had no real crimes to uncover. The only things it's found are either process violations of perjury or FARA lobbying violations that occurred years before the 2016 election.

But there's been ANOTHER investigation going on.
And this OTHER investigation, that started last January 12th, 2017? THAT one HAS uncovered very real and very serious crimes.

And the people committing these crimes are NOT Trump & his people.

It's highly placed officials inside the DOJ.
As more and more of the evidence DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found is shown to members of Congress and then to the public, the full scope & seriousness of the crimes involved will be staggering.
Everything you are seeing now started on Dec. 12th, when Horowitz released his first batch of evidence to the Congress, and then SOME of that evidence was shown to the media.

Including the first Strzok/Page text messages.
Since then, Horowtiz has handed over 1.2 million documents worth of evidence that he compiled during an investigation that thus far has stretched to well over 13 months.
The beginning of the transfer of these 1.2 million documents of evidence of political fixing & abuse inside the DOJ was on January 12th. That was 12 days ago. So it's likely done by now.

Congress is now looking through that evidence.
Horowitz could release that evidence to the Congress now because his investigation is almost over.

Congress had been clamoring to see many of these documents for some time now.

They now have them.
It's not a coincidence that you are seeing the #FisaAbuseMemo now within days of Horowitz releasing that evidence to the Congress.

Nunes likely had some missing pieces of the puzzle fall into place with new documents found within the 1.2 million Congress just got.
I believe that #FisaAbuseMemo, and those 5 months of missing text messages, when they are recovered - and they will be - will show the #SecretSocietySedition group forming their plan to frame @GenFlynn & how they used their media allies to launch that plot.
The entire Mueller probe was launched under false pretenses, on the basis of false narratives fed to willing media allies to first place Flynn under suspicion & then to claim Trump obstructed the resulting Flynn investigation.
These traitors left enough of a paper trail that they exposed. Someone followed that paper trail. And now Congress has seen it.

While they were doing their illegal spying/plotting someone was coming up behind them.

They had no clue he was there until it was too late.
It's literally too late for them to change what's about to happen. It's all going to be exposed. It can't be stopped.
