Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
It was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it. – Texas Congressman and former state Appeals Court Justice Louie Gohmert published a devastating criticism of ex-FBI Director Robert Mueller on Tuesday. Those of you who still believe that the Witch Hunter in Chief is some sort of sterling individual with an unassailable background of defending truth, justice and the American Way should take half an hour out of your day today and read it. It will disabuse you forever of those silly notions.
I was already aware of most of the despicable corruption in Mueller’s background, but one item I had not been aware of until reading Gohmert’s piece was the “5 Years Up or Out Policy” he implemented while FBI Director. This policy required that, “after an FBI employee was in any type of supervisory position for five years, he or she had to either come to Washington to sit at a desk or get out of the FBI.”
This idiotic policy mirrors policies used in the private sector by giant corporations as a means of passively-aggressively keeping their workforce younger and less expensive by encouraging older, more expensive employees to resign or take demotions in place rather than being forced to change job locations. In practice, corporations see the money saved by forcing younger workers into mid-level management positions before they’re really qualified outweighing the loss of institutional knowledge.
But at the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, this massive loss of experience and institutional knowledge and – perhaps most importantly – historic case knowledge was devastating. For Mueller, Gohmert speculates that the most satisfying aspect of the policy was that it robbed the agency of more experienced agents who are naturally going to be more likely to question the judgement and authority of senior FBI management.
It also resulted in juvenile delinquents like Super-Duper Agent Peter Strzok and Attorney Lisa Page being thrust into positions that were well above their competence or maturity levels. This juvenilization of the FBI made it much easier for Barack Obama and Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch and James Comey to come in and utterly corrupt what had become an organization filled with yes-men-and-women.
Again, regardless of your opinion of Mueller, go read the piece. You’ll be smarter for having done so.
Cause, meet Effect. – Speaking of Super Duper Agent Peter Strzok, here’s a great practical example of how Mueller’s efforts to juvenilize the agency, having thrust this emotional midget (as clearly demonstrated by his 50,000 texts with his mistress) into a senior position in the FBI’s counterintelligence division, rendered the Agency more vulnerable to corruption.
We’ve long known that Strzok was one of the agents who interviewed General Mike Flynn in an effort to entrap him into lying to the FBI; we’ve long known that Strzok was smack-dab in the middle of the sham investigation into Princess Pantsuit’s illegal email server; we’ve long known that he played a role in misleading the FISA court into issuing a warrant to spy on the Trump Campaign; in fact, at pretty much every turn in the scheme to fix the 2016 election and then to force Donald Trump from office, Strzok’s name just keeps turning up. Yesterday, it got even worse.
In a terrific piece at RealClearInvestigations, Paul Sperry reveals that Super-Duper Agent Strzok was also involved in constructing the daily intelligence briefings for then-President Barack Obama. But it’s not just that he was involved, but that he was in fact hand-selected by then-CIA Director John Brennan to serve as the intermediary for information flow between Brennan and ex-FBI Director and current Teenage Drama Queen James Comey:
A source close to the House investigation said Brennan himself selected the CIA and FBI analysts who worked on the ICA, and that they included former FBI counterespionage chief Peter Strzok.
“Strzok was the intermediary between Brennan and [former FBI Director James] Comey, and he was one of the authors of the ICA,” according to the source. [emphasis added]
So, what’s the big deal? The big deal is that Brennan was obviously using the extremely compliant and malleable Strzok to control the information Comey received, and what ultimately got to the President of the United States of America. Comey’s been running around the country claiming “I don’t know” about all sorts of things that took place under his watch during this period of time, and in many instances those denials are no doubt true because Brennan, through Strzok, made sure he didn’t know.
Brennan’s use of Strzok in this role also potentially resolves this burning question: Why were Page and ex-FBI General Counsel James Baker jettisoned from their demoted positions a few weeks ago while Strzok has been kept in place? All three have obviously been serving as cooperating witnesses with the ongoing investigations by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz and Salt Lake City U.S. Attorney John Huber since last fall – so why were Page and Baker released from their in-house purgatory while Super-Duper Agent Strzok remains sheltered in place?
The answer now seems obvious: Only Strzok has direct knowledge of the entire information flow on all the DOJ/FBI shenanigans during and following the 2016 campaign, all the way up to the office of the presidency. So he’s not quite done yet.
The great irony in all of this is that Mueller, the guy whose idiotic policies literally created Super-Duper Agent Peter Strzok, is now running the sham investigation designed to deflect the media’s and public’s attention away from the monster that he himself created. If you were still wondering why Rod Rosenstein specifically chose Mueller to be his Special Counsel, well, now you know. Mueller not only knows where all the bodies are buried, he literally created them.
Just another day in all roads lead to Peter Strzok America.
That is all.

But the ‘buck stopped’ at the feet of Brenner and Soetoro. Brenner’s Anti-Trump boiler room need to be blown wide open.
Excerpted from John Brennan’s ‘Exceptionally Sensitive’ Issue (FR posted)....the Corn/Isikoff account inadvertently provides a picture of the hate-filled Brennan running an anti-Trump spying operation right out of Langley hdq. Even after the FBI probe formally began in July 2016, Brennan was bringing CIA agents, FBI officials, and NSA officials into the same room at CIA headquarters to pool their anti-Trump hunches. To give these outrageous meetings a patina of respectability, Brennan invoked the post-9/11 rationale of inter-agency cooperation. Corn and Isikoff, obviously supportive of Brennan’s operation, use absurdly sanitized language to describe these meetings, but the shocking political import of them is still unmistakable: ...
ANALYSIS—Brennan must be made to pay for these shocking tactics that one expects to see in the corrupt Third World executed by tinpot dictators, not in the USA.
Scared ****less, obsessive compulsive Obama did a fast CYA.
With mere days left before President-elect Donald Trump took office, Obama finalized rules to make it easier for the nation’s intelligence agencies to share unfiltered information about innocent people. ...in effect, retroactively sanctioning the outrages of Brennan’s inter-agency intel sharing.
Strikes me as strange after all these months of congressional and senatorial investigations that neither body subpoenaed the most central figure in the FBI investigation to testify. This Strozok guy pretty much has all the answers. Even if he was going to take the Fifth he should have been subpoenaed along with his girlfriend Page for all to see them take the fifth.At that point the Mueller investigation would start to crumble and there would be calls to reinvestigate Hillary
Yeah...Brennan is Dr. Evil, Strock is Number 2!
Very significant article.
3 ultra radical corrupt liberal kool aid drinkers who had the maturity of a 12 year old - pretty scary that they were controlling the agency.
Happiness is seeing John Brennan dancing at the end of a rope.
Looks like they are leaning towards making him the fall guy.
There are hundreds (if not thousands) of deep state operatives just like him.
They will gladly give up one, to take the heat off of others.
Has hilLIARy planned his suicide yet?
I’ll never forget last election when an official in charge of the finances at the clinton foundation went missing- and they said he had called them to tell them he was going to commit suicide (because people were being mean to the clintons)... he quickly showed up and said “no I’m not, and I love the Clintons, and I’ll never say anything bad ever again I promise” (essentially)
It is like the book “Primary Colors” where a close clinton worker presents them with damaging info on an opponent and their only thought is “who [in the media] do we give this to?” (to inflict the most damage) ...
So she tells them she is disappointed in them and goes off to ‘commit suicide’.
Who commits suicide because people are mean to OTHER people? Apparently a number of clinton friends.
I am beginning to think that some of those we view(ed) as main players in this theater were more dupes than masterminds with Brennan being the puppet master. It appears NSA was not much of a player in this, but the state department stepped in to fill the gaps. We already know the FBI did not verify or corroborate information from the dossier and therefore this is likely true for other information that they received.
If the FBI believed Brennan and Clapper without question it would have made this set-up pretty easy. The most interesting nugget in this article is the link between Obama changing the policy on sharing information and how that retroactively provided cover for Brennan on what he had already done. At this point the FBI will take the biggest hit in this mess, but every new thing we learn points to the fact that they acted on the information of others or at the behest of others (Brennan/Yates) - they did not develop their own information. Along the way they received corroboration from other sources that were also likely planted by Brennan such as our allied intelligence and our own state department. The map of the game was provided by what they did with the dossier - used the info, disseminated it to friendly intel sources who fed it back to FBI, and then verified with a planted news story from the same source giving the appearance of verified information.
The superstar group at FBI practiced absolute trust with no verification. I imagine a few of them are beginning to realize that they were used. It is probable given that Nunes seems to have the measure of this that the State Dept was also used to funnel contrived information into the FBI to reinforce the narrative and they willingly trusted that as well because they wanted to believe or “knew in their gut” that all of this was true.
One thing that I am certain will exist. - documentation about where all of this information came from. As we have already seen, the named sources were only passing on information fed to them.......... likely by Brennan and the CIA. Laura Ingraham was correct when she giddily claimed that this resembles the plot of a John LeCarre novel and the Nunes approach to the investigation illustrates he understands the game. They planted the information and made sure it was funneled to FBI creating the appearance of confirmation to those who trusted without question - like Comey who still appears convinced all of this was true!

Thanks MarvinStinson.
In the private sector this policy keeps costs down at the expense of institutional knowledge - in a 'law enforcement' setting it would concentrate power at the top... weakening the ability of middle management types to stand up to a corrupt power takeover... early baby step for coup...
The fact this management style was intentional (in a non-profit setting) tells me the planning was done at a level higher than we've seen so far... If Obama was this capable we would have seen signs of it in his other choices. High level Machiavellian is not Obama's style. So, what person or group was calling the shots? (Remember, Obama failed at 'organizing' laid off steel workers... )
