Timing – Chairman Goodlatte and Chairman Gowdy Schedule Testimony From Bill Priestap…

Posted on May 24, 2018
by sundance

There is a particular coordination of events that has been visible since December 2017 when the first evidence of the FBI and DOJ operations against the Trump campaign surfaced. In the past six months a great deal of granular timing relates to this coordination. In January 2017 the DOJ IG began investigating FBI and DOJ conduct during the Clinton investigation in 2015 and 2016.

Toward the end of 2017 a joint House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee venture was established to look into the FBI/DOJ handling of the Clinton investigation, and the Trump counterintelligence investigation. Judiciary Chairman Goodlatte and Oversight Chairman Gowdy established the joint-oversight venture and then little happened as they awaited the completion of the OIG internal review.

Between the Fall of 2017 and May 2018 the final stages of the DOJ-OIG investigative inquires took place. In this period DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz was joined with federal prosecutor John Huber. Horowitz focused on the ongoing internal investigation, while Huber received evidence carved out that holds value for criminal prosecutions.

During the period of January through May 2018 all congressional witness testimony from the FBI and DOJ participants to oversight committees was filtered through the need for U.S. Attorney John Huber to retain the integrity of criminal evidence. Toward that end, testimony from multiple witnesses, sought by congress upon members of the DOJ and FBI, was cancelled. Some of that testimony was cancelled at the last minute as the DOJ negotiated with congress and likely explained the reasoning therein. Example:

You will note that despite the initial agreements (Jan 4th), none of these interviews actually took place. In the weeks and months that followed, while the FBI Inspection Division (INSD), Inspector General (OIG), and U.S. Attorney Huber interviews were ongoing, several of those formerly scheduled congressional witnesses left their positions.

However, the 17-month-long Inspector General investigation into the FBI and DOJ handling of the Clinton classified email investigation is now complete. The IG draft report was sent to the principals on May 16th and is currently under review.

Allowing approximately two weeks +/- for draft report feedback, the much anticipated IG final report is likely to be made public in the week after Memorial day, within the first week of June.

So now what happens?…. Against the timing of the IG report being released, today we see Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy scheduling interviews with key FBI officials immediately thereafter:

WASHINGTON – House Republicans are preparing to conduct the first interviews in more than four months in their investigation into the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe.

A joint investigation run by the Judiciary and the Oversight and Government Reform committees has set three witness interviews for June, including testimony from Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division, and Michael Steinbach, the former head of the FBI’s national security division.

Multiple congressional sources confirmed Priestap’s interview. Steinbach confirmed to The Hill that he would be appearing. (more)

Neither the timing, nor the participants or sequencing, are accidental.

The first witness testimony after the IG report is released will be Bill Priestap. According to The Hill: “Priestap will appear in the first week of June, Giacalone in the second and Steinbach in the final week of the month, according to the congressional source.”

FBI Asst. Director of Counterintelligence, Bill Priestap, is central to all of the activity that was happening in both the Clinton investigation and the Trump investigation. Bill Priestap was FBI Agent Peter Strzok’s immediate boss. However, as noted in the text messages Strzok often worked around Priestap at the behest of the person giving him political instructions – FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Bill Priestap was the FBI official who was involved in changes to the wording used by James Comey during his July 2016 speech to remove the word “President” and replace it with “another senior government official”:

Despite being demoted and reassigned, Peter Strzok is still employed within the FBI in some capacity. Unlike Strzok, the position of Bill Priestap was never impacted by the investigation and he continued to keep his position, responsibilities, and ongoing role throughout. Bill Priestap remains the FBI Director of Counterintelligence today.

Bill Priestap will have specific knowledge of the events contained within the upcoming IG report on how the FBI and DOJ handled the Hillary Clinton investigation; and Priestap will have similar knowledge surrounding the still ongoing IG investigation on FISA abuse and the activities of those who participated in “SpyGate” against the Trump campaign.

Oh Lordy – Senator Johnson Outlines Scope of FBI Officials Sculpting Clinton Exoneration Statement for Comey…


Posted on December 14, 2017
by sundance

Senator Ron Johnson sends a letter to current FBI Director Christopher Wray questioning the surrounding investigative details about how the James Comey (July 5th, 2016) exoneration manuscript was changed and sculpted. (Full pdf below)

Within the letter Senator Johnson shares the changes that were made to the manuscript, and asks Wray if FBI officials are aware of who made the changes and why. Prior revelations from within an ongoing IG report showed FBI Counterintelligence Agent Peter Strzok participating in both the investigation of Hillary Clinton, and changing some of the manuscript to shape the narrative away from criminal conduct and toward Clinton’s favor.

Earlier information showed, via text messages with FBI lawyer Lisa Page, the scope of FBI Agent Strzok’s partisan efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election due to his personal political bias. Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe appeared to be coordinating together on the Clinton investigation toward a united outcome. Director James Comey delivered that outcome to the American electorate.

Essentially today Senator Johnson is asking current FBI Director Wray if he is aware of any further FBI officials that would have also participated in this coordinated effort; and what measures Director Wray is taking to look into the ‘matter’:

WASHINGTON – Newly released documents obtained by Fox News reveal that then-FBI Director James Comey’s draft statement on the Hillary Clinton email probe was edited numerous times before his public announcement, in ways that seemed to water down the bureau’s findings considerably.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to the FBI on Thursday that shows the multiple edits to Comey’s highly scrutinized statement.

In an early draft, Comey said it was “reasonably likely” that “hostile actors” gained access to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email account. That was changed later to say the scenario was merely “possible.”

Another edit showed language was changed to describe the actions of Clinton and her colleagues as “extremely careless” as opposed to “grossly negligent.” This is a key legal distinction.

Johnson, writing about his concerns in a letter Thursday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, said the original “could be read as a finding of criminality in Secretary Clinton’s handling of classified material.” (read more)

The Democrats are now alluding to the the concept that having an Informant placed in an opposing party’s campaign is different than having a Spy, as illegal as that may be. But what about an “Informant” who is paid a fortune and who “sets up” way earlier than the Russian Hoax?

5:04 AM - 25 May 2018

Can anyone even imagine having Spies placed in a competing campaign, by the people and party in absolute power, for the sole purpose of political advantage and gain? And to think that the party in question, even with the expenditure of far more money, LOST!

Democrats are so obviously rooting against us in our negotiations with North Korea. Just like they are coming to the defense of MS 13 thugs, saying that they are individuals & must be nurtured, or asking to end your big Tax Cuts & raise your taxes instead. Dems have lost touch!

5:04 AM - 25 May 2018

Very good news to receive the warm and productive statement from North Korea. We will soon see where it will lead, hopefully to long and enduring prosperity and peace. Only time (and talent) will tell!

Think the current Admin is missing a great opportunity. They should be getting on top of two subjects, fix the broken immigration policies including the border wall, and continue work on a new health care program. Both of these items will be brought up by the opposing party so hopefully President Trump will get ahead of them and tell The Congress no August recess/break but to keep working as America expects you to. There is no excuse for President Trump to take the hit for Congress's lack of work for America. I don't want to hear excuses come mid term elections when Congress works an average of 2.3 days a week and are not doing the jobs they were elected for. Come mid-term the Dems want to raise taxes, impeach the President and become even more the opposition and make Trumps admin seem feckless by their inaction.

The North Korea summit is back on, the trap was set and the deep state went for it.

I don't get it ... how did this on again, off again, on again dance "trap the deep state" ?

Hope this helps, Paul...

This explanation is also contained within the X22Report video (below), also found in KiwiElf's Post #4604. I transcribed the Qanon part of the video in my Post #4126 on the Transition into Trump thread. Will repost it below...

My sense is that the meeting between Kim Jong-un has really already taken place. And the letter that supposedly Trump had written to Kim on May 24th, 2018, Q had informed us beforehand that this letter was actually written on May 16, 2018 , because this was the date of Q's drop with the picture of the pen with the letter. This 'letter' was meant mostly for the corporate MSM to eat up. And perhaps, Kim may not have even received this letter at all.

The Trap Was Set, The Trap Has
Been Sprung - Episode 1577b

TRANSCRIPT STARTS @ 6:25

Dave @ X22Report:
So we can see with North Korea, right now, Trump laid out this whole entire plan. And, its not just Trump, its the patriots behind this. And he sent this letter to Kim Jong-un. And said that he's canceling the Summit.

Now, Kim Jong-un said, "No. No. I don't want you to cancel the Summit. The Summit should still proceed." And now they're saying, "On June 12th, maybe the Summit will proceed."

Bloomberg news


So, it looks like this was the 'trap', because all along the corporate media was telling us that Kim Jong-un was figuring out a way to cancel this. And now, it doesn't make any sense, because he's saying he doesn't want this to be canceled. He wants this to continue & move forward.

And I do believe, that the real Summit, the real peace talks, have already taken place. This is just for show. This is for the rest of the world. This is why North Korea went along & released the hostages, with no problems... went ahead & denuclearized, with no problems. Because this was a part of their deal.

And I believe, right now, Trump was trapping the corporate media, trapping the intelligence agencies, that were trying to push their agenda - because they don't want peace in North Korea.

And right now, the White House - the team - they haven't canceled their travel plans to Singapore. They're still moving forward with this, as of today! Now maybe they will cancel it. But at this point, everything is still being prepared, right now. They have not received any cancelation orders, whatsoever.

Now what's very interesting... is anons have been researching this. And, we're going back to Q now. And what they're saying is that Trump put up two messages.

First up, Trump’s Jong/Jung letter:




And what someone pointed out was - where he put up his letter to Kim Jong-un - and, he spelled Jong J-u-n-g, and then, changed it to J-o-n-g. So, it was a spelling mistake.

Well, this was actually brilliant. Because, Trump actually let out some information. Because, in Korean, 'J-u-n-g' in Korean means 'a friend that you deeply care about'. The other spelling, 'J-o-n-g', means 'slave'. So, first Trump had the 'J-u-n-g', which means 'you are a friend', then changed it to his other spelling - the proper spelling of his name, 'J-o-n-g'. So, that was a message that said, "Yes, we are friends."

Now, if we go back to Q's post, 1383, and other posts, where he said, 'Follow the Pen,' and he gave different pictures of the pen.



One of the anons mapped all of this out, and took the pictures of the letter, and took the picture of where the pen was, the photos that Q releases, and put it all together. And, basically, shows how these are all connected. And, the letter, which is shown in the picture that Q dropped, this was already written in the past. (See the anon composite graphic below.)

So, this was planned from the beginning. This was a trap - to trap the corporate media, to trap the intelligence agencies, to trap the Deep State into continually pushing their agenda. And then, turn it around, to say, "Where did you get this story?" Where, he never said these things. "What are you printing? What are you putting out there? These are lies. These are fake news!"

And, I think we are going down this path, because you can see, right now, Kim Jong-un is saying, "No, we need to have this Summit." And, they're still preparing for June 12th. Which is very interesting.

And, if you go back to post 1381 (now 1379), this was on May 16, where Q said:



'Letters left visible to match.'

And if you look at this, you can see from the pictures from where the pen was, it says... you can read it... 'White'... and, then you see 'House'... and, it matches the letter that he had written to Kim Jong-un. And if you look at the other letters where the pen is, where you see the 't', the 'a' & all the other things - they match up.


Q was telling us that this was already done.

And if we go back to, 'Future proves past.' The future just proved the past. And, its 100% Q-proof!



So we can see, right now, that the trap was set, the trap was sprung. And, its backing the Deep State into a corner.

If it turns out that Obama was pulling the strings which most people believe is true what should happen to him? Would lady justice put a past President on trial?

I think Trump has already made a comment, or statement, in which he said that he would not allow someone, who had been POTUS, to be placed in a position whereby the Office of the President of the United States would be degraded to the degree by which it would have been clearly occupied by such a person.

In other words, Trump said (paraphrasing, here) he would be saving the face of the Office of the Presidency. You could probably say that Obama will be protected, or at least be 'pre-pardoned', so-to-speak, prior to ever having the Justice system getting its hands on him for crimes that he has obviously committed.

In doing so, he will probably avoid a full-on civil war from taking place, as a consequence, if Obama were ever to go to trial. At the very least, saving this country from breaking out in a full-on race war, as we know how the Left would paint / spin this whole thing to instill ever more division in the U.S.

The Next Crisis Is Not What You Think, It Could
Send Shockwaves Around The World: Bill Holter
(May 26, 2018)


VIDEO

TRANSCRIPT BEGINS @ 25:00

Dave x22 Spotlight: So, moving forward here, you're saying you are giving it, what, 45 days?

Bill Holter: Yeah. Call it into July [2018]. What I'm saying is that I'm still hopeful that we're going to see perf walks, we're going to see arrests by August 1st, and especially by September 1st. It's too close to the election. It's too close to the November election. The democrats will start screaming, "Oh, they're just doing this to steal the election."

There's got to be enough time after that for the proof to come out to show just how dirty these people have been. And it goes all the way to the top to our past fake, fraudulent, illegal President Hussein Obama.

And, you know, I wrote about this... I didn't put it up publicly... I just think its laughable, that, here we are - 300 million people - we watched on 911 when, supposedly, a bunch of Arabs flew planes into buildings. And, laws were... actually, the Patriot Act had already been written up. It was just ready to be put into place.

So, for years after that, we gave up our rights, one after another. And, the biggest joke was for the population that willingly gave up their rights, would then elect a non natural born citizen who is a Muslim.

Do you see the irony there?
I mean, that's in your face - from the elites.

Dave @ x22 Spotlight: Do you think the proof that he is not a natural born.... I know Sheriff Arpaio, he has been investigating this. And there's many different documents that he has to show that the birth certificate was falsified. Do you think that truth would ever come out?

Bill Holter: One could only hope.

Dave @ x22 Spotlight: If it does come out that it was falsified. And, he wasn't a natural born citizen, what do they do at that point?

Bill Holter: That's a massive Consitutional crisis, because every time he signed his name, it is null & void. And you know, I don't think that its just that. There's so many things, so many illegal things that happened during the Obama Administration, that I think that will be... Assuming that there are perf walks / arrests... assuming that this thing goes forward, they're going to dig up all sorts of stuff that happened as far back 2009, 2010-11, throughout the entire administration.

So yeah, that would be an interesting piece of news, that they prove... I think there is already enough proof that he's not... I mean, I'm convinced in my mind, that he is not a natural born U.S. citizen. But that's not the core of what I hope comes out.

Dave @ x22 Spotlight: What are you looking for to come out?

Bill Holter: Just think of how dirty everything is... Go back to Scalia. I mean, Scalia supposedly died - a Supreme Court Justice, and they don't do an autopsy? I mean, that's absurd. I mean, the tarmack meeting between Bill Clinton & Lynch... I mean, there are just too much of a list to even name all these... But there's so much dirt in the FBI, in the CIA, in the DOJ, the White House... you name it.

I mean, just think about Obamacare. The guy who wrote Obamacare... what was it... a year, or two years after it was past, made the comment... "Yeah, well, it was meant to fail."

And the article I wrote for subscribers was titled "Nobody Could Be This Stupid." And, what I was getting at was that we were purposely run into a ditch. There's no way... a little kid that gets an allowance each week understands that they can't spend more than what their allowance is. But, we have adults that have run deficits every year since 1960.

This country has been purposely run into a ditch by the elites because they wanted to bring forth a New World Order. But, they couldn't do that with the American population standing in their way. So, how best to get rid of the United States as an obstacle?

Bankrupt it. And, that's what they've done. They've bankrupted this country financially, morally, socially, in every way possible.

Dave @ x22 Spotlight: Can the country be saved, now?

Bill Holter: I think its got to be torn down before you can build it back up, again. I don't think you can turn it around without tearing it down.

Dave @ x22 Spotlight: So, you mean imploding the economic system, imploding... resetting everything.

Bill Holter: Yep. That's the word, 'reset.' You've got to reset everything. You've got to wipe everything out, wipe everything clean. And then, go forward with a true, real, rule of law that pertains to everyone, not just the top 1% of the one-tenth of one percent.

Dave @ x22 Spotlight: Well said.

“SpyGate”, The Inspector General, and the Expanded FISA Investigation…

Posted on May 26, 2018
by sundance

With much of the media, and indeed the President himself, fueling the ongoing headline discussion over the ramifications of the Obama administration setting up “surveillance”, “informants”, counterintelligence operations and “agent provocateurs” against their political opposition, ie. “SpyGate”, it is perhaps time for some mental sorbet.

With Spies, or “Informants” as the Democrats like to call them because it sounds less sinister (but it’s not), all over my campaign, even from a very early date, why didn’t the crooked highest levels of the FBI or “Justice” contact me to tell me of the phony Russia problem?

12:28 PM - 26 May 2018

Relating to the overall issue, on March 28th, 2018, the DOJ Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz formerly announced an additional investigation of how the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation engaged with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in matters relating to the FISA Title-1 application filed against U.S. person Carter Page. However, one part of the OIG notification was generously overlooked by a defensive and IC compliant media:

As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source. Additionally, the OIG will review the DOJ’s and FBI’s relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications. (pdf link)

Two months later on Monday May 21st, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein added a significant DOJ mandate to the Inspector General review. Rosenstein expanded the original FISA review to include looking at whether officials within the intelligence community may have unlawfully used human intelligence assets to “spy” or “surveil” the Trump campaign:

“The Department has asked the Inspector General to expand the ongoing review of the FISA application process to include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation of persons suspected of involvement with the Russian agents who interfered in the 2016 presidential election.” (link)

The overall FBI and DOJ corruption and political weaponization discussion has now shifted to issues of politically motivated spies, surveillance and the use of intelligence agents to conduct domestic operations. There are obvious ramifications and seemingly and endless series of directions and outlines for evidence therein.

♦The first IG report, exposing the lies and media leaks from officials within the FBI, known as the IG Report on Andrew McCabe, was a derivative outcome from the original investigation into whether the FBI politicized their investigation of Hillary Clinton. That report was published Friday April 13th, 2018. {SEE HERE}

♦The second IG report, which is actually based on the original IG mandate, was completed on May 16th, 2018, and is being reviewed in draft report format prior to publication. It is widely anticipated that report will be made final and public in the first week of June.

♦The third IG report, again an outcropping from the original IG mandate, is the FISA review and use of the FISA Court (FISC) by the DOJ and FBI in their counterintelligence investigation of candidate Donald Trump. As noted, this third investigation has now been expanded to include inquiry into how the larger intelligence apparatus might have been weaponized for political purposes; spies, surveillance, international agents, and such.

Here’s where a mental sorbet is in order.

While we await the IG report on the politicization of the DOJ and FBI and how they handled the Clinton Classified-Email Investigation, it is worth noting that much of the FISA investigation overlaps with the FBI intent during this timeline.

There’s obviously a boatload of investigative angles and questions that can possibly swirl around the FISC and IC (intelligence community) investigation. Heck, when any investigation is launched into the intelligence community, this is where you enter the land of the proverbial rabbit hole(s).

Having traveled through this IC matrix before, and with a firm grip on the seemingly slippery pathways therein, CTH has no desire to chase ourselves through the hall of mirrors. We can, and perhaps at times will, go granular. However, for current purposes what we would draw attention to are the ‘larger aspects’ being seemingly overlooked.

Obviously the FISA/IC investigation is going to go into the locations of the CIA, ODNI, NSA and their intersection with the Department of Justice National Security Division, DOJ-NSD. The DOJ-NSD is the division within Main Justice that handles domestic intelligence operations from the position of legal intent and court engagement.

On these domestic counterintelligence issues, DOJ-NSD gives the instructions and authorization from Main Justice to the FBI counterintelligence officials; who then do the actual investigatory police work. In the 2016 “small group” operation against the Trump campaign the DOJ-NSD officials worked in unity with FBI officials. In rooting out corruption therein, both the FBI side and the Main Justice side have issues.

On the FBI side: Director Comey, Asst. Director McCabe, as well as a host of downstream officials were caught in the investigative net. Some were fired (Comey, McCabe); some demoted (Baker, Strzok); some quit (Rybicki, Kortan, Baker); and one -Peter Strzok- remains; likely cooperating with Phase III of the IG FISA/IC investigation. The head of the FBI Counterintelligence Operation, Bill Priestap, has never been touched.

In essence, the corrupt officials within the FBI side have been purged.

On the Main Justice side: things are slightly more complex because there’s much bigger stakes at play and legal risks that extend far beyond the DOJ-NSD. While a host of DOJ-NSD officials have been removed or quit (John Carlin, Mary McCord, David Laufman) many more remain.
Trish Beth “Trish” Anderson, Tashina “Tash” Gauhar, George Toscas to name a few. Then there’s Bruce Ohr, demoted twice and remaining likely for cooperation. In addition, the entire apparatus of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) appears to have been involved in creating plausible legal justification.

In essence, many of the corrupt officials within Main Justice HAVE NOT been purged.

Almost every current media leak is from inside the remaining Main Justice and DOJ-NSD officials who remain in place protecting the interests of the former corrupt officials. All are lawyers, and all have alignment with their external allies in the Lawfare Blog Group.

The Obama Main Justice officials remaining inside the permanent political state are the types Shakespeare was referring to in Henry-VI. Says Dick the Butcher: “the first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers“. Despite his socialist tendencies and moral failings we can all relate to Dick the Butcher. So that’s challenge number one.

Challenge number two is how to bring national security intelligence information into investigative review while simultaneously avoiding the exhaustive defense systems of the Deep State.

The terms “classified” and “top secret” have been so abused by the administrative state as a deployment mechanism to hide their $5000 latte machines and $70,000 conference tables, when the IG actually begins digging into FBI, CIA, NSA, FISC, and DOJ-NSD network communication we can only imagine the non-disclosure schemes.

Then again, perhaps, just perhaps, such specific subject-matter-expertise is the entire reason why AG Sessions selected John Huber from Utah (NSA HQ), and more recently brought in Ezra Cohen-Watnick as National Security Advisor to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. (NOTICE THE TIMING)

Agree about introducing Light into Dark, but this deprogrammed former Baptist has little resonance with those interpreting the Divine in Reality as The Lord, a Throned God.

I couldn't find anything on this particular Mark Taylor that says he has either been deprogrammed, or that he is a former Baptist. Perhaps, you can provide a link that can show this specific particular information. Otherwise, you just may be mixing this guy up with with another Mark Taylor (its a common name).

Here, in this video, he says that Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) will be overturned on the federal level - leaving it up to the States to decide on the abortion issue. Also, California will be going 'red' on the political spectrum.

I would consider that if this indeed comes about, then there must be something authentic with his being gifted, to a certain degree, in receiving prophetic-type visions.

Putting this in the "Wait & See" folder, with all the other stuff I've gotten filed away there.

Sorry for poorly worded post - I was speaking about myself as a deprogrammed former Baptist, in explaining the issues I have with Bible-thumping religious points of view.

I consider much of the Baptist Christian teachings and views of the old testament throned God / aka The Lord as abusive belief systems forced on many in the US South, and not really that helpful in self-realizing the Divine spark within.

Oh, thanks mountain_jim for clarifying. I am with you on the various established so-called "religions". I'm not much of a believer myself. I do find it somewhat interesting, though... how it seems that some devout Christians do have some surprising visions that they are seemingly gifted with.

To me, it just one's own 'Higher Self' that is able to break-through the 'veiled' onion layers on occasion when one least expects it. Devout Christians most likely would deem it as speaking with God.

^ good points - The Divine will use whatever symbol systems available to communicate from higher to lower.
