FBI Director Chris Wray Declassifies Large Portions of Grassley Memo…
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 2/6/2018 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 02/06/2018 6:49:48 PM PST by bitt

A few moments ago Senator Chuck Grassley released an updated version of his memo which substantiates his prior Criminal Referral, against Christopher Steele, to the Department of Justice.

Last Friday Chairman Grassley asked FBI Director Chris Wray to remove the prior redactions and declassify the underlying supportive documents; known as the “Grassley Memo”. FBI Director Wray did not remove all redactions; but did remove most. Here is the newest version (pdf link here):

Why does Hannity even bother to invite guests when he either talks over them or doesn’t let them talk?

Sessions has to be waiting on the IG report to make a move and it looks like Mueller is as well. The report is really hanging over Muellers head and he can’t put out anything that contradicts the IG report without real evidence.

You can tell the Trump guys have their hands on ALL the levers of power in all the intelligence agencies as well as State now. It took a full year to do that.

The drip drip drip is getting louder.

Does Dan Bongino have a YouTube channel?

Here you go:

https://www.youtube.com/user/DanBongino

On a recent podcast, he said that this is his correct youtube channel, and that others who are rebroadcasting his stuff are pirates.

I switched to using his SoundCloud channel because his podcasts seem to show up there several hours before he puts them on youtube.

So, Hillary conspired with the Russians to take down her political opponent...she just used a proxy to try and blur her involvement.

"... Rosenstein appoints Mueller and Mueller intentionally hires leftist lawyers, so now the press and the Dems figure, hey, Sessions is out of the way plus he’s at odds with Trump, and Rosenstein looks like a good guy and Mueller definitely looks like he’s after Trump, etc."

I'm not sure about Mueller, but I've been saying for some time that our cagey (art of the deal) President and Sessions are playing "rope a dope".

Agreed. Most of the time, in fact.

Stop giving these fools the truth, it will destroy their carefully constructed world-view wherein no one is honest. When questions are posed about Sessions character and integrity you know the questioner is an ignoramus or worse.

No indictments should be handed down before late Spring early
Summer. Timing is the Art of Champions and all this should be designed to hamper the Democrats in the Mid-terms.

Bullshiff, there couldn’t be a man standing if Sessions knuckled under to these traitors. How can people be so clueless and visit FR?

Would imagine that Sid Blumenthal will be blacked out. This sucker needs a long term in prison.

Jud/Wtch has tracked this unpleasant man – “Sid Vicious” — over the years: (A) How Hillary Clinton relied on him in defiance of President Obama; (B) how he and Hillary kept in touch during her tenure; (C) how she originally wanted him to be a high-ranking adviser.

AND THERE'S MORE---MUCH MORE---ABOUT THIS INDIVIDUAL'S MARAUDING ACTIVITIES

ITEM--From link: http://observer.com/2016/03/hillary-has-an-nsa-problem/

........one of the most controversial of Ms. Clinton’s emails released by the State Department under judicial order was one sent on June 8, 2011, to the Secretary of State by Sidney Blumenthal, Ms. Clinton’s unsavory friend and confidant who was running a private intelligence service for Ms. Clinton.

This email contains an amazingly detailed assessment of events in Sudan, specifically a coup being plotted by top generals in that war-torn country. Mr. Blumenthal’s information came from a top-ranking source with direct access to Sudan’s top military and intelligence officials, and recounted a high-level meeting that had taken place only 24 hours before.

To anybody familiar with intelligence reporting, this unmistakably signals intelligence, termed SIGINT in the trade. In other words, Mr. Blumenthal, a private citizen who had enjoyed no access to U.S. intelligence for over a decade when he sent that email, somehow got hold of SIGINT about the Sudanese leadership and managed to send it, via open, unclassified email, to his friend Ms. Clinton only one day later.

NSA officials were appalled by the State Department’s release of this email, since it bore all the hallmarks of Agency reporting. Back in early January when I reported this, I was confident that Mr. Blumenthal’s information came from highly classified NSA sources, based on my years of reading and writing such reports myself, and one veteran agency official told me it was NSA information with “at least 90 percent confidence.”

We can confirm that the contents of Sid Blumenthal’s June 8, 2011, email to Hillary Clinton, sent to her personal, unclassified account, were indeed based on highly sensitive NSA information. The agency investigated this compromise and determined that Mr. Blumenthal’s highly detailed account of Sudanese goings-on, including the retelling of high-level conversations in that country, was indeed derived from NSA intelligence.

Specifically, this information was illegally lifted from four different NSA reports, all of them classified “Top Secret / Special Intelligence.” Worse, at least one of those reports was issued under the GAMMA compartment, which is an NSA handling caveat that is applied to extraordinarily sensitive information (for instance, decrypted conversations between top foreign leadership, as this was). GAMMA is properly viewed as a SIGINT Special Access Program, or SAP, several of which from the CIA Ms. Clinton compromised in another series of her “unclassified” emails.

Currently serving NSA officials have told me they have no doubt that Mr. Blumenthal’s information came from their reports. “It’s word-for-word, verbatim copying,” one of them explained. “In one case, an entire paragraph was lifted from an NSA report” that was classified Top Secret / Special Intelligence.

How Mr. Blumenthal got his hands on this information is the key question, and there’s no firm answer yet. The fact that he was able to take four separate highly classified NSA reports—none of which he was supposed to have any access to—and pass the details of them to Hillary Clinton via email only hours after NSA released them in Top Secret / Special Intelligence channels indicates something highly unusual, as well as illegal, was going on.

Suspicion naturally falls on Tyler Drumheller, the former CIA senior official who was Mr. Blumenthal’s intelligence fixer, his supplier of juicy spy gossip, who conveniently died last August before email-gate became front-page news. However, he, too, had left federal service years before and should not have had any access to current NSA reports. There are many questions here about what Hillary Clinton and her staff at Foggy Bottom were up to, including Sidney Blumenthal, an integral member of the Clinton organization, despite his lack of any government position.

How Mr. Blumenthal got hold of this Top Secret-plus reporting is only the first question. Why he chose to email it to Ms. Clinton in open channels is another question. So is: How did nobody on Secretary Clinton’s staff notice that this highly detailed reporting looked exactly like SIGINT from the NSA?
