Spygate and The Steele Dossier Were The Cover Story – The Real Issue is Years of Obama-era Surveilla
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 4/22/2019 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 04/22/2019 11:14:58 PM PDT by bitt

If you read the Weissmann/Mueller report carefully one aspect stands out strongly; the Mueller investigation was fully committed to The Steele Dossier. An inordinate amount of the report is focused on justifying their investigative validity and purpose in looking at the claims within the Steele Dossier.

Repeatedly, the investigative unit references their mandate based around the Steele Dossier, and the mid-summer 2016 origin of the FBI counterintelligence operation.

Why? Why was/is Crossfire Hurricane (July ’16) and the Steele Dossier (Oct. ’16) so important to the principle intelligence apparatus, and the Mueller team (’17, ’18, ’19)?

I believe former NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers has told us the answer. In early 2016 Rogers caught on to a massive and pre-existing weaponization of government surveillance and the use of collected NSA metadata for political spy operations. Everything, that comes AFTER March 2016 is one big blanket cover-up operation….. ALL OF IT.

The Russian election interference narrative; the use of Joseph Mifsud, Stefan Halper, the London and Australian embassy personnel; Erika Thompson, Alexander Downer, U.S. DIA officials; everything around Crossfire Hurricane; and everything after to include the construct of the Steele Dossier; all of it was needed for the creation of an ‘after-the-fact‘ plausible justification to cover-up what Mike Rogers discovered in early 2016, AND the downstream unmasked records that existed in the Obama White House SCIF.

Fusion GPS was not hired in April 2016 to research Donald Trump. The intelligence community was already doing surveillance and spy operations. They already knew everything about the Trump campaign. The Obama intelligence community needed Fusion GPS to give them a justification for pre-existing surveillance and spy operations.

It seems Our President has Generals that understand the
battle sphere and the multiple domains it contains.

Including all of us here.

The Battle Sphere has many domains.
All of US are in one.
The Human Social Communications Domain.

In here, you can hear from 4 Star Active Duty US Army
General Robert Brown, with a message for all of US about
that, and about just how YOU as your OWN Army of ONE
could be fighting for and defending Our Country and the World.
(From right where you’re sitting.)

The Future of War and how it affects YOU
Multi-Domain Operations

Here’s a link to just before General Brown starts talking:

Be sure to note Destin’s comments about our best weapons at the end.
(Surely the general had nothing to do with those, right? :)
https://youtu.be/qOTYgcdNrXE?t=1598

“Political Grace:”
“The art of disagreeing well.”

“Intentional unity:”
“The ultimate countermeasure to those who would divide!”

Here’s another General. Same topic.

Michael Flynn, talking about a
civilian army of digital soldiers...
Citizen journalists

So, boys and girls, chose your weapons well.

The battle front is easy to spot. You are the target.

Perhaps there is someplace online where our military
intelligence has recruited some “Civilian Army” to work
with in the Human Social Communications Domain.

You think?

Did you see Laura Ingraham’s show tonight? John Radcliffe was on with Jason Chaffetz and said that Sally Yates, et al signed off to the FISC on the dossier as VERIFIED!

He and Trey Gowdy were the only 2 to see the FISA document.

I think this might have been in the group of documents that Trump declassified last Sept, and have not been released yet. Trump stated that he didn’t want to interfere with the Mueller investigation.

I hope someone else saw this, and can help clarify it.

Do you think the declassified documents are being rolled out slowly?

This article details a lot of stuff we sort of surmised and what Hannity has been alluding to.

Mueller wasn’t there to investigate Trump/Russia. He was there to obfuscate and be the public face of the lies and cover-up. If he actually found something, that would be a plus and would legitimize his operation.

She signed the initial application on Oct 21, 2016 and the first renewal on Jan 12, 2017.

I believe protecting the Clinton Foundation was the heart of the Obama’s Watergate style spy operation. Instead of simple wire taps on phone lines it was the high tech capabilities of the NSA Big Brother apparatus.

The Clinton Foundation was designed to be a money laundering instrament to fund political campaigns and political operatives, much like Soros’ Tides Foundation. It had built into it a way for the Clintons and the Obamas to get rich quick and hide their gains in the financial maneuvers of the Foundation.

Trump represented a threat to the Clinton Foundation. An investigation into its workings caused Hillary to destroy the hard drive of the server running her illegal email operation. The investigation ended with Comey’s illegal exoneration. Once the illegal server was scrubbed, a coordinated effort was launched to scrub Trump from the political landscape. The phony dossier was their bleach bit to wipe out Trump. The dossier was also the key to unlock the NSA spy apparatus on the Trump campaign for more dirt and to track Trump’s strategy. This whole effort was to eliminate Trump from any ability to expose their plans for the Clinton Foundation. This effort has not stopped

...... former NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers in early 2016 caught on to an Obama-era massive and pre-existing weaponization of government surveillance and the use of collected NSA metadata for political spy operations. Everything, that comes AFTER March 2016 is one big blanket cover-up operation….. ALL OF IT......

"Many astute Freepers have conjectured that Trump won DESPITE Obama tapping his Trump Tower phones, ordering an array US intel agencies to stop Trump. Trump had to know ...... b/c knowing allowed Trump to successfully sidetrack the cabal." Remember that blurb about Mike Rogers meeting with Trump in November 2016 right after the election?

roughlyexplained.com

To some of President Donald Trump’s defenders, Admiral Mike Rogers, the recently retired NSA Director, is poised to blow the whistle on a purported deep state conspiracy against Mr. Trump. Mr. Rogers’ elevation as a folk hero among the pro-Trump conspiracy community has its roots in a visit he made to Trump Tower in November 2016, as then President-elect Trump was preparing to take office.

According to a Washington Post report, the incident rankled his superiors in the Obama Administration, several of whom were already seeking his removal as NSA Director. “In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower,” the Post reported.”That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.”

Just a month earlier, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., had recommended to President Barack Obama that Mr. Rogers be relieved of his post. Mr. Carter, according to the report was frustrated with Admiral Rogers’ performance leading the agency, while Mr. Clapper sought to restructure the NSA under civilian leadership. Ultimately, Mr. Obama elected to keep Mr. Rogers in his post. Still, his rocky relationship with Mr. Carter and especially Mr. Clapper are a mark of credibility with those who believe Mr. Trump is the victim of a “deep state” plot.

At the time, Mr. Rogers was being considered by President-elect Trump to replace Mr. Clapper as director of national intelligence, which seems a plausible-enough reason to call on Mr. Trump without telling his bosses in the outgoing administration.

But, some of Mr. Trump’s defenders see a more exotic explanation. They believe that Mr. Rogers was there to warn Mr. Trump that Mr. Obama and his lieutenants were spying on him — a claim that every U.S. intelligence official, including Mr. Rogers, has refuted.--snip---

We know Obama spied on Journalists, Congress, and Trump. This article makes a good case that the ‘Insurance’ mentioned in a text was the cover up plan for all this spying. Since Obama was this ruthless to do such spying, it's not much of a stretch to assume he was spying on Judges as well. Blackmail obtained from this spying plausibly explains Judge Roberts bizarre decisions.

ridiculous how the anti-Trump narrative has continued following the release of the Mueller report. there is so much that should be dominating the news regarding Spygate/Coupgate. with notable exceptions, GOP are as bad as the Dems & FakeNewsMSM:

When the president declassifies the FISAs that were on both myself and Flynn, all the pundits who fell for the July 31st investigation “launch” date, and keep repeating it, should be fired. This target was on both Flynn and me by at the latest 2015. More to come.

Tweet: George Papadopolous
We have now pinned Peter Strzok’s boss, Bill Priestap, in London the week of May 6th, 2016 and on the 9th. The day before Alexander Downer was sent to spy on me and record our meeting. Congress must release the transcripts and embarrass the deep state.

I did see the Radcliffe interview and you are correct in your assessment about what Gowdy and he saw. Yates was one he mentioned and that caught my attention because heretofore she is generally out of the lime light. IMO, she is in it up to her eye balls so I want her to answer for her crimes too.

It started decades before obammy.

The NSA built a huge complex in San Antonio, TX in 2005 but the NSA was growing before that.

Here is the text from Aug 15, 2016:

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office – that there’s no way he gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take the risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” Strzok texted Page."

I interpret the text message as wanting to do something before the election. They still had ~3 months to go before the election. On Sep 2, 2016, Page texts Strzok "POTUS wants to know everything".

Note the Sep 2 date from the Daily Caller:

"Halper, a veteran of the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations, unsolicitedly contacted Papadopoulos on Sept. 2 with an offer to fly the Trump associate to London for several nights to discuss a policy paper about energy issues in Turkey, Cyprus and Israel. Papadopoulos, who has worked on energy issues at various think tanks, accepted the offer and flew to London."

Some of dossier was in house at the FBI by the time the Aug 15th insurance text was made. Did they really have enough of it to say it was the insurance policy? It took them 2 more months to submit the CP FISA request. CTH bounces ideas off their readers all the time. I doubt this is their final conclusion.
