Correction: Make that a liberal "Udopia" of socialism.........

In your wildest dreams did you ever think that our government was filled with such corrupt and dishonest people? Every day is a new revelation and every revelation exposes yet another skunk who couldn’t care less about the people or our country!

Actually it is speculated that Downing (Australian diplomat tied to the Clintons who was based in London at the time) is the source, and communicated hearsay to British MI6 who communicated hearsay to CIA Director John Brennan who communicated hearsay to FBI Director James Comey. Peter Strzok took that quasruple hearsay and without vetting or corrobarting any of it used to as a justification to launch a counter intelligence operation against an opposition party’s candidate in a presidential election.

Let me repeat, QUADRUPLE HEARSAY was used as evidence (which is not admissible in any court of law) to launch a spy operation against Trump.

With redactions that included the name of a foreign agent and a foreign country from whence the intelligence came.

[Aria]

Where did this speculation come from?

[phoneman08]

Yeah, it could be Downing being referenced. Does tie in with the Papadopoulos angle. Interesting that we know about Downing due to leaks, but he must be redacted so that the chairman of house intel can’t see it. What a mess.

[hardspunned]

Its not “our” DOJ, its Sessions’ DOJ!

[hal ogen]

Yes...I thought so for some time, having lived in WDC for 30+ years.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Because when when the issue of the FISA warrant came up being based on the Steele dossier (FISA was not granted until Oct ‘16, FBI launched CI operation against Trump in July), the defenders of the Deep State claimed that is the the Pappadopoulis encounter in London with Australian diplomat Downer which launched the investigation.

And by the way, Pappadopoulis did not encounter Downer by chance. He was set up. And then we find out that DOwner is a long time associate of the Clintons...

How the Russia Inquiry Began: A Campaign Aide, Drinks and Talk of Political Dirt

The New York Times leak was specifically structured around the CIA “electronic communication”. However, the story within the origination document is abject nonsense. ♦If Papadopoulos having a conversation in a London bar in May 2016 was the origination of the FBI counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign. Then why did the FBI wait until January 15th 2017 to talk to Papadopoulos for the first time? ♦Further, if a Papadopolous conversation in May 2016 was the origin, the source material, of the FBI counterintelligence operation, then why was the FBI denied a FISA application in June/July 2016? The far more realistic review says George Papadopoulos talking in May 2016, is likely about this open and public information from April 2016 about Guccifer hacking Hillary Clinton email [LINK]. The intelligence community “EC” was an excuse to start an FBI counterintelligence operation against the candidacy of Donald Trump. The true intent of the counterintel-op was to provide a cover-story for the DOJand FBI “small group” political opposition research and surveillance that was already ongoing. We’ve previously debunked this Origination Story HERE https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/04/11/access-granted-doj-gives-devin-nunes-trey-gowdy-and-hpsci-leadership-access-to-intelligence-origination-documents/

Best post of the day.

[NTHockey]

the federal probe was launched as a result of a tip that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had claimed to an Australian diplomat that he had dirt on Hillary Clinton.”

Anybody with half a brain knew all about the dirt on her. It was so blatantly obvious that she committed multiple crimes. Of course, the mindless idiots in government couldn’t find any dirt. They couldn’t find their butt with both hands.

All I can do is shake my head in disbelief that people are only just now coming to that realization. If people had noticed 30 years ago, there might have been a chance of fixing it.

Congress should move to impeach Rosenstein anyway. Dicey excuse for a warrant. Months of obstruction. Countless documents still missing or redacted to be useless. This guy richly deserves a jail cell.

[Aria]

Thanks! I was looking at CTH briefly today and did notice that they had looked into this theory and discarded the whole Papa. story as a valid excuse but didn’t know the details.

I just hope we get this sorted out ASAP so we have a chance to survive the midterms.

[The Deplorable Miss Lemon]

I have to admit that I was wildly naïve about our government and paid little attention to anything much more than a headline. Even then though, if someone had said, “our politicians are corrupt and the our system abused,” I doubt that I would have believed it.

Those were the day when I wasn’t a cynic. The US government was created by geniuses and now run by evil, greedy and self-serving people who are relatively stupid, cunning and devious, but mostly stupid.

Yep the day Kennedy gave in to Unions.
