Confusing Dossier Chaff with Wheat
American Thinker ^ | 1/14/18 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 01/14/2018 6:21:47 AM PST by Avalon Memories

A hallmark of the Democrats – and the Clintons in particular – is that, with the aid of a complaisant press, they hide their wrongdoings with countless obfuscations and distractions so that the truth of consequential matters is buried in chaff and hard to see. This week, we can look forward to an effort to clear away the chaff and reveal the wheat.

Tomorrow, we expect the Department of Justice's inspector general to release the first part of his report to congressional investigators. The report is expected to cover the alleged bias and malfeasance by the FBI,

The most significant portions of the report, to my mind, will be who illegally accessed the NSA...and FISA...databases (billions of emails, texts, phone calls) and who unmasked and publicized the information there, plus the relationship of the FBI with Fusion GPS and other outside contractors – and on what basis did the foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issue a warrant to surveil the Trump campaign?

The short explanation of this is Sharyl Attkisson's (unedited):

First, intel agencies weren't supposed to surveil US citizens. But they did. Then they weren't supposed to "store" it. But they did. Then they weren't supposed to search it. But they did. Then they weren't supposed to "unmask" it. But they did. Then they weren't supposed to leak it...

We will see. I'm among those who are highly cynical and skeptical that we will ever see the lid blow completely off this profoundly horrific scandal.

There is little or no wheat in the chaff, only weed seed and bugs among the chaff.

Maybe so, but since Sessions had nothing to do with these issues/investigations, and the DOJ OIG is an Obama appointee, his decision to refer these matters to several Grand Juries or special counsels will be above reproach.

The media/rats will howl, but that is what they do.

Unless political planets and gravity have shifted, this is much ado about nothing - just your DOJ wasting more time and tax dollars issuing reports that have no consequence.

Let us see what happens, this appears separate but parallel to the Clapper-Comey-Mueller FBI fiasco/coverup/conspiracy.

But, the more open investigations and the fewer closed door hearings, the better.

I want Trump to unseal Obama’s school/passport records.

I am convinced that he is still an Indonesian citizen since that country doesn’t allow dual citizenship. Momma Stanley gave up both of their American citizenships for them to live in Indonesia, and when Obama came back, where is the record of his Grandma re-applying for American citizenship for him???

I think that stuff is coming.

If a Republican president just unveiled stuff “for no reason” it would look petty and political and punitive. The media could do a good job of convincing a lot of people that “sure, maybe Obama is a foreigner, but the real point is that Trump is a meanie.”

However, as the information about widespread corruption and treason rolls out, and as more and more high profile people are indicted, if the president at that time says, “It occurred to me that looking at Obama’s school/passport records might be justified and — Holy Cow! Hey everybody! Have a look at this!”

I think the media would have a tough time saying, “Old news/ no one cares/ but what about your crude language?”

I'm not sure he can. School records are not federal government property. I don't know about privacy and ownership laws, if any, regarding passports. And Obama has craftily decided not to build a presidential library that would become the property of the federal government. He is building some kind of "center" to be owned by the Obama Foundation and hosted by the University of Chicago. So stuff he wants hidden will remain hidden there.

Executive Order number 13818 might give him the authority to do it.

Remember when Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie suggested in an interview published today that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health. (01/18/2011) WND
