The Internet is full of information, some of it not well researched or considered, but every now and then a star appears on the horizon. To my mind the new star is Yaacov Apelbaum, who, using his considerable technical skills, has produced a masterpiece of well-documented analysis underscoring the nonsensical and partisan nature of the Mueller operation. He compares this effort by the anti-Trumpers to the plot line of the Dreyfus affair, where falsified evidence and suppressed evidence led to Captain Alfred Dreyfus’s conviction for treason.

That goes on all the time. What's amazing is how this sort of effort is used to control the public's political activity, somewhat through press reports, but also through official reports, e.g., from the FBI or ODNI, that are KNOWN FALSE.
The government knowingingly and willingly lies to and deceives the public, so that certain people within the control structure are protected and retain control. The system is, at it's foundation, based on deception.
The Steele Dossier and it's fallout, all the way up to Mueller's witch hunt, is not odd man out, this is business as usual.
The only reason the subject has surfaced the way it has is that Trump was supposed to lose. He is a real threat to the continuation of public deception.
Other than the names of the players “in charge,” nothing is going to change until the people rise up and make a credible threat of revolution.
PROOF POSITIVE THAT OBAMA KNEW
Obama’s CYA maneuver of January 3, 2017-——the signing of NSA Data-Sharing Order Section 2.3 by AG Lynch —— is the coupe d’etat to blow out The Deep State. Obama’s after-the-fact ex/order contains some unusual language particularly the convoluted language WRT “The Strategic Delay of Section 2.3 of Obama’s Executive Order 12333”:
NOTE WELL: Prior to the formal signing of Section 2.3, greater latitude ALREADY existed within the White House in regards to collection of information – especially in relation to the Trump Campaign. However, once signed, Section 2.3 granted broad latitude to inter-agency sharing of information.
But by the time Obama’s new executive order was signed on January 3, 2017, all that information was already in the possession of Obama White House.
Thus, Susan Rice’s January 20, 2017 email to herself takes on an even greater significance b/c no one was ever supposed to know about the REAL meaning of Obama’s retroactive CYA.....until Rice stupidly laid it all out in an official email.
CYA memos are rarely a good idea. Most often, they reveal things the author never intended——ala Susan Rice’s now-infamous email to herself.

WHY SUSAN RICE WROTE AN EMAIL TO HERSELF........the extraordinary email Obama’s National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote to herself at 12:15 on January 20, 2017........within minutes of President Trump’s inauguration must have been her last act, more or less, before she vacated the White House. So obviously the email was important to her. But why would it be important to send an email to herself (the only person copied was one of her aides)?
If you read the email, along with Senator Grassley’s letter to Rice, it is obvious that it is a CYA memo. But the question is, whose A is being C’d?
Most attention, so far, has focused on the first two paragraphs of the email, which describe a meeting that occurred around two weeks earlier. The participants included
<><>Barack Obama,
<><>Joe Biden,
<><>James Comey,
<><> Sally Yates–who turns up like a bad penny whenever skulduggery is afoot–
<><>and Rice:
Rice made sure to underscore that Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities “by the book”. Rice writes Obama stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.
This is pure boilerplate. It represents, obviously, the company line. But Rice did not write her email to cover Barack Obama’s rear end. If she or anyone else had wanted to document the claim that Obama said to proceed “by the book,” the appropriate course would have been an official memo that copied others who were present and would have gone into the file. (My guess is that such a memo was written, but we haven’t seen it.)
The important part of the email is not the paragraph that purports to exonerate Obama, but the paragraphs that follow: “From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”
The next paragraph of the email remains classified and has been redacted. The email concludes:
The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.
CONCLUSION Why did Susan Rice send herself an email purporting to document this part of the meeting? Because she was C’ing her own A. Rice was nervous about the fact that, at the president’s direction, she had failed to “share information fully as it relates to Russia” with President Trump’s incoming national security team.
Her actions violated longstanding American tradition. Outgoing administrations have always cooperated in the transition to a new administration, whether of the same or the opposing party, especially on matters relating to national security.
Susan Rice is far from the brightest bulb on the tree, but she was well aware that by concealing facts ostensibly relating to national security from her counterpart in the new administration–General Michael Flynn–she was, at a minimum, violating longstanding civic norms.
If she actually lied to Flynn, she could have been accused of much worse. So Rice wanted to be able to retrieve her email, if she found herself in a sticky situation, and tell the world that she hid relevant facts about Russia from the new administration on Barack Obama’s orders.
What were the secrets that Obama wanted to keep from the new administration? We can easily surmise that the fact that the Steele memo was paid for by the Democratic Party; that the FBI had to some degree collaborated with Steele; that the Clinton campaign had fed some of the fake news in the dossier to Steele; and that Comey’s FBI had used Steele’s fabrications as the basis for FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign were among the facts that Obama and his minions didn’t want Michael Flynn and Donald Trump to know. Susan Rice, we can infer, was told to keep these secrets, and if anyone ever asked why she had failed to disclose them to Michael Flynn and others on Trump’s team, or even lied to those people, she would have the defense that President Obama ordered her to do it.
There may be more to it than this. The redacted paragraph likely contains more information about what it was that Rice wasn’t supposed to tell the Trump team. One of these days, we will learn what was blacked out.
The fact that Michael Flynn was Susan Rice’s counterpart in the incoming administration may also be significant. We know that the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn–even Peter Strzok!–reported that they didn’t think he had lied about anything. And yet, Obama’s DOJ and Bob Mueller’s “investigation”–basically a continuation of Obama’s corrupt Department of Justice under another, less accountable name–persecuted Flynn to the point where he finally pled guilty to a single count of lying to the FBI in order, as he says, to end the madness and the financial drain.
Why were the Democrats so determined to discredit General Flynn? Perhaps because they wanted to pre-empt any outrage that may otherwise have followed on revelations that the Obama administration’s National Security Advisor hid important facts from her successor during the transition, and may have lied to him about those facts, in violation of all American tradition.
If this one person can obtain such detailed forensic data about the true authors of the dossier,
one might wonder why the 1,000s of people in the MSM can’t put together this analysis.
Actually, we know why they can’t. They’re willing participants in this coup.
The supporting document by Apelbaum is very interesting.

Many thanks for the posting of this material!
Because they miscalculated and did not understand that by 2016 "every" aware person not in on the Deep State operation had figured out that they were losing badly ("stagnant" wages for decades, a justice system that wasn't providing justice, out of control immigration).
It's as simple as a predator prey problem where the predators had eaten too much prey. Only in this case the predators also aren't as smart as they think they are and the prey is a whole lot more competent at life-skills than the predators who just got their hands on levers of power they didn't understand or really know the consequences of using (Alinskyites like the Clintons and baby Bush who graduated from Yale because he got into the place because his father was famous and connected).
I live here in the swamp and I gotta tell you - they are utterly and totally incompetent. You should see our neighborhood blog - they can't fix a light switch or replace a leaking valve stem. And of course being the swamp the crafts and trades that are here are either illegal or they are rip-off artists and half to be because honest people earning honest wages cannot afford to live here anymore. The overwhelming growth of the DC metro area has been drive by the WAR ON TERROR. Bush/Cheney turned it into the taxpayer funded scam Bonanza of all time.
I agree. This appears to be the go-to method of monetizing one's tenure as a back-bench gov't employee. If you have a 'name' it's K St.; no name, dirty-tricks shop.
The truth didn't fit the CIA/Obama narrative and he was fired. The Washington DC DS has despised the man ever since.
We despise any competent, honest and patriotic man here. "America First" means an end to the bonanza of skimming the world's wealth, which is the business that much of DC is in.
This is more than enough for President Trump to end the Mueller investigation by Executive Order. I don’t know why an end date of August recess didn’t happen.
The PTB are running an invasion by calling it "immigration policy," and the "war on terror" is fueld in part by importing terrorists, becauase "that's [big hearted and land of opportunity] who we are."
I'm not so sure the prey are as aware as they need to be. Most think the wolves [the government] are their protectors. No. You are your own protector. The governmentr only cares about itself, and will always tell you it [the government] is looking out for you, and is doing a bang up job of it.
That is, this crowd of intriguers acted as an organic unit regardless of how they were, at any given time, distributed amongst various employing entities. If that ain't "conspiracy" I don't know what is.

I wonder if this list of names matches up with any of the names on the sealed indictments already prepared?
All of these players are democrats, and their sphere of expertise is investigative research, and manipulating public opinion. Now the democrat party has its own domestic and international spy agency to dig up dirt (true or false) on whoever it believes is its enemy. Then coordinate with the Democrat Coalition to gin up public outrage via the media? A huge conspiracy is what’s going on here. Conspiracy against the American public. They just didn’t expect Trump would win.
Clarice Bump!
A nest of vipers, the lot of them.
Does this story end with the discovery democrats were in bed with Russians all along?
Trump IS the revolution.
BINGO!
Beyond being willing participants, they actively aid in the cover-up.
There was a lot of consideration, at the time Ohr’s FCC ham radio license was discovered, that she was using to contact Steele, etc.. It now seems this was one way the swamp was communicating around the beltway. The license she had was sufficient to communicate between Fusion GPS HQ, the ‘company’, state dept., etc.
