<p>With former President Obama holding an online town-hall meeting with the nation Wednesday in the wake of riots sparked by the police-related death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, talk-radio star Rush Limbaugh says the ex-president is likely trying to divert attention from "Obamagate," what he says is the Obama-led "silent coup" to oust President Trump.</p>
<p>"I think, if I had to make a wild guess, one of the reasons Obama is coming out now is to deflect what we have learned about what happened in his Oval Office regarding the investigation of Trump," Limbaugh <a href="https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2020/06/03/obama-to-address-the-nation-as-i-predicted/" target="_blank">said</a> Wednesday in advance of <a href="https://www.obama.org/anguish-and-action/" target="_blank">Obama's late afternoon event on YouTube</a>.</p>
<p>"We now know that Obama's Oval Office led this coup. We know that the people who were implementing the coup – from [James] Clapper, to [James] Comey, to [John] Brennan, to you name it – all were given instructions in the Obama Oval Office in the fateful meeting on January 5, 2017.</p>
<p>"I think the purpose of the Mueller investigation, in fact – as I have stated – was to cover this up. I think the investigation was twofold. It was, 'You know, try to find a crime or we can invent a crime that Trump's guilty of; get rid of him.'</p>

<p>After the election they made up their minds that they were going to sabotage the Trump presidency” said KT McFarland referring to members of the Obama administration. McFarland served as Deputy National Security Advisor under Michael Flynn for the first four months of Trump’s presidency and was in meetings with Flynn and outgoing national security adviser Susan Rice during the transition period between the Obama and Trump administrations.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/kt-mcfarland-scoop-susan-rice-is-lying-i-was-in-the-meetings-with-her-and-flynn/" target="_blank">McFarland went on Fox Business</a> to set the record straight about the recently released email Susan Rice wrote to herself on Friday January 20, 2017, the very day of President Trump’s inauguration. Rice’s letter was written at the alleged request of White House counsel to provide details of a meeting that took place on January 5, 2017. In attendance at the January 5 meeting was <a href="https://thegreggjarrett.com/democratic-hopefuls-radical-president-obama/">President Obama</a>, Vice President Biden, FBI Director Jim Comey, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and Rice.</p>
<p>Rice’s email repeatedly stressed ad nauseam that President Obama stressed “his continued commitment to ensuring” that everything was handled “by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book.” McFarland says otherwise, determining that Rice’s email was written because “she knew they had done something very, very wrong.”</p>

<p class="subheading">Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, published a <a class="x5l" href="https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/" target="_blank">blog post</a> this month declaring that the online encyclopedia’s “neutral point of view” policy is “dead” due to the rampant left-wing bias of the site. Noting the article on President Donald Trump, Sanger contrasted its extensive coverage of presidential scandals with the largely scandal-free article on former President Barack Obama.</p>
<p>Sanger also criticized Wikipedia’s coverage of religion and other controversial topics. After Fox News <a class="x5l" href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/wikipedia-co-founder-larry-sanger-says-online-dictionary-scrapped-neutrality-favors-lefty-politics" target="_blank">reported</a> on his blog post, many Wikipedians ignored the bias Sanger identified and instead responded by attacking the conservative outlet as well as Sanger.</p>
<p>On May 14, Sanger <a class="x5l" href="https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/" target="_blank">published</a> a blog piece titled “Wikipedia Is Badly Biased” and started by declaring Wikipedia’s “Neutral Point of View” policy dead. Having founded the online encyclopedia with Jimmy Wales and having been involved in the <a class="x5l" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view&oldid=270459" target="_blank">original drafting</a> of the policy, Sanger offered particular insight into its development and its practice in recent years. On the current policy’s rejection of providing “equal validity” to different views, Sanger stated this went directly against the original policy’s intent and that “as journalists turn to opinion and activism, Wikipedia now touts controversial points of view on politics, religion, and science.”</p>
<p>Providing examples, Sanger noted former President Obama’s <a class="x5l" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama" target="_blank">article</a> excludes most notable scandals during his Administration, such as the bungled ATF Fast and Furious operation that <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/border/2017/06/24/atf-whistleblower-obamas-doj-obstructed-justice-fast-furious-investigation/">armed Mexican cartels</a> who killed a U.S. border agent or the <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2017/10/26/doj-settles-with-tea-party-groups-on-lois-lerner-irs-scandal/">targeting of Tea Party groups</a> by the IRS. By contrast, Sanger pointed to Trump’s <a class="x5l" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump" target="_blank">article</a> containing overwhelmingly negative sections on the President regarding his “public profile” as well as investigations and impeachment. The sections critical of Trump and his presidency are nearly as long as those dealing with his presidency overall. He further criticized Wikipedia repeatedly saying Trump makes false statements rather than attributing such characterizations to sources.</p>

<p>Taking to Twitter, the president shared a short video clip that played off a specific quote from Obama’s endorsement, interjecting clips highlighting the corruption and gaffes associated with the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that Obama did a little trolling of his own in February, posting a tweet on President’s Day that essentially took credit for the booming Trump economy — at least until the coronavirus pandemic. So it’s not entirely out of the question that Trump was simply reciprocating. In all likelihood, the president is likely looking to keep Obama’s name in the news cycle as the country awaits the results of an effort to investigate the investigators.</p>

<p>President Trump wasn’t all fun and games Sunday night, as he responded harshly to an ad that the Biden campaign put out over the weekend criticizing him for playing a round of golf. An activity that also doubles as “exercise,” the president informed the campaign. He also took at shot at Biden’s actions as vice president and reminded Democrats of Obama’s love for the game, which included playing immediately after speaking about ISIS beheading American journalist James Foley.</p>

<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto text-article-dropcaps">
<p>Barack Obama warned his successor against hiring Michael Flynn. It was Nov. 10, 2016, just two days after Donald Trump upset Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States. Trump <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrats.judiciary.house.gov/files/documents/hju170550%20hicks%20interview.pdf">told aide Hope Hicks</a> that he was bewildered by the president’s warning. Of all the important things Obama could have discussed with him, the outgoing commander in chief wanted to talk about Michael Flynn.</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>The question of why Obama was so focused on Flynn is especially revealing now. The Department of Justice recently filed to withdraw charges against the retired three-star general for making false statements to the FBI in a Jan. 24, 2017, interview regarding a phone call with a Russian diplomat. The circumstances surrounding the call and subsequent FBI interview have given rise to a vast conspiracy theory that was weaponized to imprison a decorated war hero and a strategic thinker whose battlefield innovations saved countless American lives. There is no evidence that Flynn “colluded” with Russia, and the evidence that Flynn did not make false statements to the FBI has been buried by the bureau, including current Director Christopher Wray.</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>So if the Obama administration wasn’t alarmed by Flynn’s nonexistent ties to Russia, why was he Obama’s No. 1 target? Why were officials from the previous administration intercepting his phone calls with the Russian ambassador?</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>The answer is that Obama saw Flynn as a signal threat to his legacy, which was rooted in his July 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran—the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Flynn had said long before he signed on with the Trump campaign that it was a catastrophe to realign American interests with those of a terror state. And now that the candidate he’d advised was the new president-elect, Flynn was in a position to help undo the deal. To stop Flynn, the outgoing White House ran the same offense it used to sell the Iran deal—they smeared Flynn through the press as an agent of a foreign power, spied on him, and leaked classified intercepts of his conversations to reliable echo chamber allies.</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>In March 2017, after seeing evidence of the Obama administration’s surveillance of Trump associates, Congressman Devin Nunes said it had nothing to do with Russia or the FBI’s ongoing Russia investigation, or similar Russia probes conducted by congressional committees. Nunes’ contention was difficult to make sense of at the time. Wasn’t everything about Russia and whether or not there was, as Congressman Adam Schiff said, more than circumstantial evidence of collusion?</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>In fact, as Trump prepared to take office after his 2016 upset victory, the Obama White House was focused on the Middle East. “Russia collusion” was the narrative that Hillary Clinton operatives seeded in the media and fed to the FBI to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. After the election, the Obama team took it over and used it to hobble the incoming administration.</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>That Obama has publicly criticized the Justice Department’s decision to withdraw its case against the retired general shows how personal the anti-Flynn campaign still is for the former president. In leaking his <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/obama-irule-of-law-michael-flynn-case-014121045.html">supposedly off-hand comments</a> to Michael Isikoff, a journalist whose work was central in <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/u-s-intel-officials-probe-ties-between-trump-adviser-and-kremlin-175046002.html">pushing the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory</a>, Obama was effectively taking credit for pushing the larger anti-Trump operation that grew out of the anti-Flynn campaign. While the Russia collusion story was a handy instrument for many to advance all manner of personal and political interests, for Obama the purpose of Russiagate was simple and direct: to protect the Iran deal, and secure his legacy.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>Obama and his foreign policy team were hardly the only people in Washington who had their knives out for Michael Flynn. Nearly everyone did, especially the FBI. As former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s spy service, and a career intelligence officer, Flynn knew how and where to find the documentary evidence of the FBI’s illegal spying operation buried in the agency’s classified files—and the FBI had reason to be terrified of the new president’s anger.</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>The United States Intelligence Community (USIC) as a whole was against the former spy chief, who was promising to conduct a Beltway-wide audit that would force each of the agencies to justify their missions. Flynn told friends and colleagues he was going to make the entire senior intelligence service hand in their resignations and then detail why their work was vital to national security. Flynn knew the USIC well enough to know that thousands of higher-level bureaucrats wouldn’t make the cut.</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>Flynn had enemies at the very top of the intelligence bureaucracy. In 2014, he’d been fired as DIA head. Under oath in February of that year, he told the truth to a Senate committee—ISIS was not, as the president had said, a “JV team.” They were a serious threat to American citizens and interests and were getting stronger. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers then summoned Flynn to the Pentagon and told him he was done.</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>“Flynn’s warnings that extremists were regrouping and on the rise were inconvenient to an administration that didn’t want to hear any bad news,” says former DIA analyst Oubai Shahbandar. “Flynn’s prophetic warnings would play out exactly as he’d warned shortly after he was fired.”</p>
</div>
<div class="BlockContent col-12 lg:col-10 xl-wide:col-8 mxauto">
<p>Flynn’s firing appeared to be an end to one of the most remarkable careers in recent American intelligence history. He made his name during the Bush administration’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where soldiers in the field desperately needed intelligence, often collected by other combat units. But there was a clog in the pipeline—the Beltway’s intelligence bureaucracy, which had a stranglehold over the distribution of intelligence.</p>

<p class="subheading">The celebrity campaign #PasstheMic is enlisting Julia Roberts, Hugh Jackman, and other A-list Hollywood stars to hand over their social media accounts to the likes of Dr. Anthony Fauci and other experts to promote a “global response” to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>Who’s behind the push? The roster of donors and leaders reads like a who’s-who of left-wing globalists — U2 frontman Bono, George Soros, and Bill Gates. At the head of the organization is Gayle Smith, a former special assistant to President Barack Obama.</p>
<p>The guest line-up features another physician who has publicly denounced President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and handling of the coronavirus crisis, while praising the World Health Organization, which downplayed the gravity of the outbreak in its early weeks.</p>
<p>In a video interview with Julia Roberts on Thursday, Dr. Fauci urged people to pay more attention to how the coronavirus is impacting poorer countries. “We have, really, a moral responsibility for people throughout the world,” he said.</p>
<p>Fauci also warned Americans not to re-open the economy too quickly. “Now is not the time to tempt fate and pull back completely,” he said. “There is a golden mean there.”</p>

<p>In a Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” network host Al Sharpton accused President Donald Trump of attacking his predecessor former President Barack Obama amid the Department of Justice’s review of the 2016 Russia investigation under Obama’s leadership because “he is so upset that Barack is everything he would have wanted to be in life” while also being black and not having a “rich father.”</p>
<p>Sharpton argued Trump is polling poorly among black voters because he goes after Obama and because he does not address black Americans’ issues or concerns, pointing to black unemployment in recent years and the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>“It’s a strange thing about black voters — they are very similar to other voters,” Sharpton stated. “You do for those that do for you and address your issues. When you look at the fact that even under the best economic circumstances of the last three and a half years, blacks were still doubly unemployed, and the president never addressed that, never said here’s a plan for that. When you look in the pandemic, where it has gotten even worse, he has given some verbal statement, ‘Oh, I’m concerned,’ when it was raised at a press conference — only when he was questioned, ‘I’m concerned blacks are dying or being found positive with the virus at a higher rate than whites.’ That’s the last we heard from him.

National Intelligence Director Richard Grenell announced his office will “strip the FBI of its duties briefing the presidential 2020 candidates.” Grenell’s decision comes after an overwhelming amount of newly released documents show the questionable actions and political bias that took place in the 2016 election. Bartiromo mentions the “former FBI director Jim Comey infamously briefed President-elect Donald Trump on January 6th2017, just one day after he met with President Obama and other top officials in the oval office.”</p>
<p>Discussing the weeks leading up to his inauguration, Bartiromo asks about then-President Obama. “Do you believe <a href="https://thegreggjarrett.com/democratic-hopefuls-radical-president-obama/">President Obama</a> directed the U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on you?” Bartiromo pointedly asked President Trump.</p>
<p>“Yes, he probably directed them but if he didn’t direct them, he knew everything” replied Trump. The President then makes a very concise statement: “and you’ll see that, by the way…you’re gonna see that when the papers come out.”</p>
<p>Looks like Trump is preparing us for even more“ObamaGate” material. “Remember the Lisa Page text to her lover saying POTUS wants to see everything? POTUS. They’re not talking about me I wasn’t President. They’re talking about POTUS wants to see everything” Trump added.</p>

<p>“How brazen they are sitting in the Oval Office on January 5th and saying they might not share intelligence with the incoming administration. And you know what that means? That means they didn’t want to give it to General Flynn.” said Washington lawyer, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Joe diGenova, during a Monday interview on the radio show, “Mornings on the Mall.”</p>
<p>How brazen indeed. And how foolish for then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice to memorialize it in an email to herself shortly after President Trump’s inauguration two weeks later.</p>
<div id="piano_article_inline_container" class="thm-piano-mop piano-placeholder-element"> </div>
<p>Ever since this email was discovered in February 2018, the takeaway phrase “by the book” began to raise eyebrows. At the time, Sen. Lindsey Graham <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-flynn-susan-rice-email-during-transition">told Fox News</a>, “I think that’s odd and disturbing because we know the investigation regarding the Trump campaign was anything but by the book.”</p>
<p>And, following the inclusion of the Special Counsel’s interview with former acting Attorney General Sally Yates in the DOJ’s motion to dismiss the Flynn case, the January 5, 2016 Oval Office meeting has moved to center stage. Thus, Rice’s email has come under direct scrutiny.</p>
<p>Those present at this consequential meeting included President Obama, Vice President Biden, then-FBI Director James Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Yates and Rice.</p>
<p>Following the initial briefing, Obama asked Yates and Comey to “stay behind.” He told them he was aware of Flynn’s phone calls with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about sanctions. Obama “specified that he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently, given the information.”</p>
<p>Translated: They were discussing how to prevent the new administration from finding out they’d been spied on. Specifically, Obama did not want Flynn to find out what his administration had been up to.</p>
<p>The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/08/obama-biden-oval-office-meeting-on-january-5-was-key-to-entire-anti-trump-operation/">points out</a> that Obama also provided “guidance about how to perpetuate the Russia collusion theory investigations” during the January 5 meeting.</p>

<p>The release of the list of Obama Administration officials who requested unmaskings of Gen. Michael Flynn’s telephone calls during the 2016 transition has raised many questions. <em>The Epoch Times</em>‘ Petr Svab solved the mystery of why there were no unmasking requests following Flynn’s December 29, 2016 telephone call with the Russian Ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. The call was never masked.</p>
<p>In his testimony before Congress, former FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers the call “turned up…at the end of December, beginning of January.”</p>
<div id="piano_article_inline_container" class="thm-piano-mop piano-placeholder-element"> </div>
<p>Well, how exactly did information about this particular call just “turn up?”</p>
<p>As McCabe described the origin of the transcripts during his testimony, “They came up—we found them through an effort—without getting into too long of an explanation—in an effort to respond to a tasking from [redacted] and so the results of what we found were communicated to the Agency, who I think had the pen on that response.”</p>
<p>Dan asks, “Who tasked the FBI with finding that call?…Who has the power to order the FBI?”</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>Exception to Court Order Requirement</em>: The President may authorize electronic surveillance to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year without a FISC court order where the Attorney General certifies that there is “no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a U.S. person is a party,” provided the surveillance is directed solely at communications among or between foreign powers, or “the acquisition of technical intelligence…from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power.” <a title="This link opens a page from another Web site in a new window." href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode50/usc_sec_50_00001802----000-.html" target="_blank">50 U.S.C. § 1802</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Oh, the President can authorize electronic surveillance if it is certified by the Attorney General. Did Loretta Lynch certify a warrant to spy on Michael Flynn on behalf of Obama?</p>
<p>Dan rules out the alternative methods of surveillance. There’s no criminal warrant. We’ve learned that this call was not masked to begin with. How else might one conduct surveillance? He says, “What other explanation is there?…He was not unmasked…There were no FISA warrants that we know of on Flynn and the IG report doesn’t indicate there was one. We know there was an active investigation into Flynn…Did Barack Obama order this?”</p>
<p>“This is the most explosive revelation so far…If this is true,” Dan tells his viewers, “and that redacted name is Loretta Lynch on the authority of Barack Obama, Holy Krikes.<em> Abuse of surveillance power directed ordered by the President of the United States on the incoming administration to fabricate a fake narrative used to set up the new President of the United States in an obstruction of justice trap.”</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">A Walk Through this Scenario:</span></p>
<p>The government is surveilling Kislyak. They’re receiving transcripts of his phone calls. How do they know who he’s speaking with?</p>
<p>FBI officials know Flynn would be vacationing in the Dominican Republic at the end of December. It would be easy for Obama officials to identify a Kislyak call to the Dominican Republic.</p>
<p>How can Obama officials guarantee that Kislyak will call Flynn while he’s there? They might announce sanctions against Russians or they might expel 35 Russian diplomats and close two Russian compounds for interference in the 2016 presidential election.</p>

<h3><strong>OPEN MEMORANDUM</strong></h3>
<p><strong>To: Barack Hussein Obama</strong><br /> <strong>From: Sidney Powell</strong><br /> <strong><a href="http://sidneypowell.com">www.SidneyPowell.com</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Date: May 13, 2020</strong></p>
<p><strong style="text-decoration:underline;">Re: Your Failure to Find Precedent for Flynn Dismissal</strong></p>
<p>Regarding the decision of the Department of Justice to dismiss charges against General Flynn, in your recent call with your alumni, you expressed great concern: “there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk.”</p>
<p>Here is some help—if truth and precedent represent your true concern. Your statement is entirely false. However, it does explain the damage to the Rule of Law throughout your administration.</p>
<p><strong>First</strong>, General Flynn was not charged with <em>perjury</em>—which requires a material false statement made <em>under oath</em> with intent to deceive.<sup>1</sup> A perjury prosecution would have been appropriate and the Rule of Law applied if the Justice Department prosecuted your former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for his multiple lies under oath in an investigation of a leak only he knew he caused.</p>
<p>McCabe lied under oath in fully recorded and transcribed interviews with the Inspector General for the DOJ. He was informed of the purpose of the interview, and he had had the benefit of counsel. He knew he was the leaker. McCabe even lied about lying. He lied to his own agents—which sent them on a “wild-goose-chase”—thereby making his lies “material” and an obstruction of justice. Yet, remarkably, Attorney General Barr declined to prosecute McCabe for these offenses.</p>
<p>Applying the Rule of Law, after declining McCabe’s perjury prosecution, required the Justice Department to dismiss the prosecution of General Flynn who was not warned, not under oath, had no counsel, and whose statements were not only not recorded, but <em>were created as false by FBI agents</em> who falsified the 302.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong>, it would seem your “wingman” Eric Holder is missing a step these days at Covington & Burling LLP. Indelibly marked in his memory (and one might think, yours) should be his Motion to Dismiss the multi-count jury verdict of guilty and the entire case against former United States Senator Ted Stevens. Within weeks of Mr. Holder becoming Attorney General, he moved to dismiss the Stevens prosecution in the interest of justice for the same reasons the Justice Department did against General Flynn—egregious misconduct by prosecutors who hid exculpatory evidence and concocted purported crimes.</p>
<p>As horrifying as the facts of the <em>Stevens</em> case were, they pale in comparison to the targeted setup, framing, and prosecution of a newly elected President’s National Security Advisor and the shocking facts that surround it. This case was an assault on the heart of liberty— our cherished system of self-government, the right of citizens to choose their President, and the hallowed peaceful transition of power.</p>
<p><strong>Third</strong>, the inability of anyone in your alumni association to find “anybody who has been charged [with anything] just getting off scot-free” would be laughable were it not so pathetic.</p>
<p>Many of your alum feature prominently in the non-fiction legal thriller published in 2014: <a href="http://licensedtolie.com">Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice</a>. A national best- seller, it focusses on the egregious prosecutorial misconduct of your longest serving White House Counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler; your counter-terrorism advisor Lisa Monaco; Loretta Lynch’s DAG for the Criminal Division Leslie Caldwell; and Mueller protégé Andrew Weissmann. While they worked as federal prosecutors on the Enron Task Force—under the purported supervision of Christopher Wray—they destroyed Arthur Andersen LLP and its 85,000 jobs; sent four Merrill Lynch executives to prison on an indictment that criminalized an innocent business transaction while they hid the evidence that showed those defendants were innocent for six years. Both cases were reversed on appeal for their over-criminalization and misconduct. Indeed, <em>Andersen</em> was reversed by a unanimous Supreme Court.</p>

DeFordhttps://patriotcommandcenter.org/members/AdminMelonyBDeFord<div><p>Why is former President Obama calling forth all his defensive resources now? Why did former national security advisor Susan Rice write her cya letter? Why have republicans in congress not been willing to investigate the true origins of political surveillance? What is the reason for so much anger, desperation and opposition from a variety of interests?</p>
<p>With the release of <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/04/09/exculpatory-papadopoulos-transcript-fbi-surveillance-wire-declassified-and-released/" target="_blank">recent transcripts</a> and the <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/04/13/footnote-350-declassification-puzzles-and-doj-intentions/" target="_blank">declassification of material</a> from within the IG report, the Carter Page FISA and <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/05/07/the-doj-vs-fbi-blame-game-begins-doj-release-documents-to-support-dropping-flynn-case/" target="_blank">Flynn documents</a> showing FBI activity, there is a common misconception about <strong>why</strong> the intelligence apparatus began investigating the Trump campaign in the first place. Why was Donald Trump considered a threat?</p>
<p>In this outline we hope to provide some fully cited deep source material that will explain the origin; and specifically why those inside the Intelligence Community began targeting Trump and using Confidential Human Sources against campaign officials.</p>

<p>During the time-frame of December 2015 through April 2016 the NSA database was being <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-new-irs-documents-show-lerner-need-conservative-group-donor-lists-emails-mention-secret-research-project-top-irs-official/" target="_blank">exploited by contractors</a> within the intelligence community doing unauthorized searches.</p>
<p>On March 9, 2016, oversight personnel doing a review of FBI system access were alerted to thousands of unauthorized search queries of specific U.S. persons within the NSA database.</p>
<p>NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was made aware.</p>
<p>Subsequently NSA Director Rogers initiated a full compliance review of the system to identify who was doing the searches; & what searches were being conducted.</p>
<p>On April 18, 2016, following the preliminary audit results, Director Rogers shut down all FBI contractor access to the database after he learned FISA-702 “about”(17) and “to/from”(16) search queries were being done without authorization. Thus begins the first discovery of a much bigger background story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/deep-state-group-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-left" src="https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/deep-state-group-1.jpg?w=214&h=208&profile=RESIZE_400x" width="275" height="267" alt="deep-state-group-1.jpg?w=214&h=208&profile=RESIZE_400x" /></a>When you compile the timeline with the people involved; and the specific wording of the resulting review, which was then delivered to the FISA court; and overlay the activity that was taking place in the GOP primary; what we discover is a process where the metadata collected by the NSA was being searched for political opposition research and surveillance.</p>
<p>Additionally, tens-of-thousands of searches were identified by the FISA court as likely extending much further than the compliance review period: “<em>while the government reports it is unable to provide a reliable estimate of the non compliant queries since 2012, there is no apparent reason to believe the November 2015 [to] April 2016 period coincided with an unusually high error rate”</em>.</p>
<p>In short, during the Obama administration the NSA database was continually used to conduct surveillance. This is the critical point that leads to understanding the origin of “Spygate”, as it unfolded in the Spring and Summer of 2016.</p>
<p>It was the discovery of the database exploitation and the removal of access as a surveillance tool that created their initial problem. <strong>Here’s how we can tell</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/gop-candidates-2-mashup.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-right" src="https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/gop-candidates-2-mashup.jpg?w=313&h=176&profile=RESIZE_400x" width="391" height="220" alt="gop-candidates-2-mashup.jpg?w=313&h=176&profile=RESIZE_400x" /></a>Initially in December 2015 there were 17 GOP candidates and all needed to be researched.</p>
<p>However, when Donald Trump won New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina the field was significantly whittled. Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and Carson remained.</p>
<p>On Super Tuesday, <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/03/02/5-midnight-super-tuesday-gop-election-results-trump-wins-seven-vermont-arkansas-virginia-georgia-alabama-tennessee-massachusetts/" target="_blank">March 2, 2016</a>, Donald Trump won seven states (VT, AR, VA, GA, AL, TN, MA) it was then clear that Trump was the GOP frontrunner with momentum to become the presumptive nominee. On <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/03/05/4-saturday-election-results-cruz-wins-kansas-and-maine-trump-wins-kentucky-and-louisiana/" target="_blank">March 5th</a>, Trump won Kentucky and Louisiana; and on <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/03/08/4-mini-tuesday-election-results-michigan-mississippi-idaho-and-hawaii-discussion-thread/" target="_blank">March 8th</a> Trump won Michigan, Mississippi and Hawaii.</p>
<p>The next day,<strong> March 9th</strong>, NSA security alerts warned internal oversight personnel that something sketchy was going on.</p>
<p>This timing is not coincidental. As FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer later wrote in her report, “<em>many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the <strong>same identifiers</strong> over different date ranges</em>.” Put another way: attributes belonging to a specific individual(s) were being targeted and queried, unlawfully. Given what was later discovered, it seems obvious the primary search target, over <em>multiple date ranges</em>, was Donald Trump.</p>
<p>There were tens-of-thousands of unauthorized search queries; and as Judge Collyer stated in her report, there is no reason to believe the <em>85% non compliant rate</em> was any different from the abuse of the NSA database going back to 2012.</p>
<p id="inline-ad-1" class="inline-ad-slot" style="float:left;height:0px;margin:0 auto;overflow:hidden;width:640px;"> </p>
<p>As you will see below the NSA database was how political surveillance was being conducted during Obama’s second term in office. However, when the system was flagged, and when NSA Director Mike Rogers shut down “contractor” access to the system, the system users needed to develop another way to get access.</p>
<p>Mike Rogers shuts down access on April 18, 2016. On April 19, 2016, Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson’s wife, Mary Jacoby visits the White House. Immediately thereafter, the DNC and Clinton campaign contract Fusion GPS… who then hire Christopher Steele.</p>
<p>Knowing it was federal “contractors”, outside government with access to the system, doing the unauthorized searches, the question becomes: <strong>who were the contractors?</strong></p>
<p>The possibilities are quite vast. Essentially anyone the FBI or intelligence apparatus was using could have participated. Crowdstrike was a known <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/06/15/doj-admits-fbi-never-saw-crowdstrike-report-on-dnc-russian-hacking-claim/" target="_blank">FBI contractor</a>; they were also <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/06/15/doj-admits-fbi-never-saw-crowdstrike-report-on-dnc-russian-hacking-claim/" target="_blank">contracted by the DNC</a>. Shawn Henry was the former head of the FBI office in DC and is now the President of Crowdstrike Services; a <a href="https://sharylattkisson.com/2019/01/attkisson-v-doj-and-fbi-for-the-government-computer-intrusions-the-definitive-summary-2/" target="_blank">rather dubious contractor</a> for the government and a politically connected data security and forensic company. James Comey’s special friend Daniel Richman was an unpaid FBI “special employee” <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/04/25/curiouser-and-curiouser-james-comey-leak-recipient-daniel-richman-had-special-access-to-fbi-databases/" target="_blank">with security access</a> to the database. Nellie Ohr began working for Fusion-GPS on the Trump project <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/03/13/intriguing-implication-within-nellie-ohr-testimony-nellie-ohr-approached-glenn-simpson-for-a-job-in-sept-2015/" target="_blank">in November 2015</a> and she was a <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/02/confirmed-nellie-ohr-lied-about-ham-radio-to-congress/" target="_blank">CIA contractor</a>; and it’s entirely likely Glenn Simpson or people within his Fusion-GPS network were also contractors for the intelligence community.</p>
<p>Remember the Sharyl Attkisson computer intrusions? It’s all part of this same network; Attkisson even names Shawn Henry <a href="https://sharylattkisson.com/2019/01/attkisson-v-doj-and-fbi-for-the-government-computer-intrusions-the-definitive-summary-2/" target="_blank">as a defendant</a> in her ongoing lawsuit.</p>
<p>All of the aforementioned names, and so many more, held a political agenda in 2016.</p>
<p>It seems likely if the NSA flags were never triggered then the contracted system users would have continued exploiting the NSA database for political opposition research; which would then be funneled to the Clinton team. However, once the unauthorized flags were triggered, the system users (including those inside the official intelligence apparatus) needed to find another back-door to continue… Again, the timing becomes transparent.</p>
<p>Immediately after NSA flags were raised March 9th; the same intelligence agencies began using confidential human sources (CHS’s) to run into the Trump campaign. By activating intelligence assets like <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/10/01/confirmation-bill-barr-and-john-durham-listened-to-mifsud-audio-tape-deposition-in-italy/" target="_blank">Joseph Mifsud</a> and <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/05/20/stefan-halper-agent-provocateur-in-his-own-words/" target="_blank">Stefan Halper</a> the IC (CIA, FBI) and system users had now created an authorized way to continue the same political surveillance operations.</p>
<p id="inline-ad-2" class="inline-ad-slot" style="float:left;height:0px;margin:0 auto;overflow:hidden;width:640px;"> </p>
<p>When Donald Trump hired Paul Manafort on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/03/28/donald-trump-hires-paul-manafort-to-lead-delegate-effort/" target="_blank">March 28, 2016</a>, it was a perfect scenario for those doing the surveillance. Manafort was a <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/08/21/breaking-manafort-jury-delivers-guilty-verdict-on-8-out-of-18-counts-mistrial-on-10-counts/" target="_blank">known entity</a> to the FBI and was previously under investigation. Paul Manafort’s entry into the Trump orbit was perfect for Glenn Simpson to sell his prior research on Manafort as a Trump-Russia collusion script two weeks later.</p>
<p>The shift from “unauthorized exploitation of the NSA database” to legally authorized exploitation of the NSA database was now in place. This was how they continued the political surveillance. This is the confluence of events that originated “spygate”, or what officially blossomed into the FBI investigation known as “Crossfire Hurricane” on July 31.</p>
<p>If the NSA flags were never raised; and if Director Rogers had never initiated the compliance audit; and if the political contractors were never blocked from access to the database; they would never have needed to create a legal back-door, a justification to retain the surveillance. The political operatives/contractors would have just continued the targeted metadata exploitation.</p>
<p>Once they created the surveillance door, Fusion-GPS was then needed to get the FBI known commodity of Chris Steele activated as a pipeline. Into that pipeline all system users pushed opposition research. However, one mistake from the NSA database extraction during an “about” query shows up as a New Yorker named Michael Cohen in Prague.</p>
<p>That misinterpreted data from a FISA-702 “about query” is then piped to Steele and turns up inside the dossier; it was the wrong Michael Cohen. It wasn’t Trump’s lawyer, it was an art dealer from New York City with the same name; the same “identifier”.</p>
<p><strong>A DEEP DIVE – How Did It Work? </strong></p>
<p>Start by reviewing the established record from the <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-new-irs-documents-show-lerner-need-conservative-group-donor-lists-emails-mention-secret-research-project-top-irs-official/" target="_blank">99-page FISC opinion</a> rendered by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer on April 26, 2017. Review the details within the FISC opinion.</p>
<p>I would strongly urge everyone to read the <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/349542716/Top-Secret-FISA-Court-Order-President-Obama-Spying-on-Political-Enemies" target="_blank">FISC report</a> (full pdf below) because Judge Collyer outlines how the DOJ, which includes the FBI, had an “institutional lack of candor” in responses to the FISA court. In essence, the Obama administration was continually lying to the FISA court about their activity, and the rate of fourth amendment violations for illegal searches and seizures of U.S. persons’ private information for multiple years.</p>
<p id="inline-ad-3" class="inline-ad-slot" style="float:left;height:0px;margin:0 auto;overflow:hidden;width:640px;"> </p>
<p>Unfortunately, due to intelligence terminology Judge Collyer’s brief and ruling is not an easy read for anyone unfamiliar with the FISA processes. That complexity also helps the media avoid discussing it; and as a result most Americans have no idea the scale and scope of the Obama-era surveillance issues. So we’ll try to break down the language.</p>

<p><span class="av_dropcap1">A</span>s it became clear Mitt Romney would be the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, the Obama campaign fired up its Chicago-style machine to attack the incumbent president’s election foe. Team Obama identified several Romney donors to smear publicly; one was a wealthy businessman from Idaho.</p>
<p>A former Democratic Senate staffer, according to a 2012 editorial in the <em>Wall Street Journal</em>, contacted an Idaho courthouse seeking the divorce records of Frank VanderSloot, who had donated $1 million to Romney’s campaign. The operative was traced to a professional opposition research shop based in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>The name of the outfit? Fusion GPS. “Fusion GPS is run by a former <em>Wall Street Journal</em> reporter, Glenn Simpson, who wouldn’t say who is paying him for this high-minded slumming but said in an email that Mr. VanderSloot was a ‘legitimate’ target because of ‘his record on gay issues,’” the <em>Journal</em> <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304203604577397031654422966">wrote</a>.</p>
<p>As we now know, that would not be the last time Obama loyalists would hire Fusion GPS to oversee its dirt-digging operation. Nor was it the first time Obama sought to unseal divorce records to ruin a political opponent.</p>
<p>Obama’s pathway to winning the Illinois U.S. Senate seat in 2004 was cleared after divorce records of his Democratic primary opponent, who had been in the lead, were made public just weeks before the election. After Obama won the primary, the <em>Chicago Tribune</em> sued to get the divorce settlement of Jack Ryan, Obama’s Republican opponent, unsealed. (Many suspect at the behest of Obama advisor and longtime <em>Tribune</em> columnist David Axelrod.) Embarrassing details sank Ryan’s candidacy and he dropped out of the race. Obama won the seat with 70 percent of the vote.</p>
<p>No one wins the presidency without using hardball tactics to get there. Barack Obama is a special case, however, because the media not only covered for him but aided his scorched-earth tactics while he alternated between feigning either innocence or ignorance. This lasted during his two presidential campaigns and eight years in the White House.</p>
<p>The same pattern has been playing out the last four years. In May 2016, the Democrats hired Fusion GPS again to destroy Barack Obama’s rival, Donald Trump. But this time, the artillery would involve the world’s most powerful law enforcement agency, a secret court, and the full complicity of the national news media.</p>
<p>And as the biggest scandal in American political history has unfolded, Obama’s media accomplices have denied, excused, and/or justified his involvement while desperately creating other scandals to serve as diversions. To date, the former president has not faced <em>one question</em> about what he knew and when he knew it. His vice president, safely bunkered in his home studio away from uninvited media scrutiny, is enjoying the same protection despite Joe Biden’s known <a href="https://amgreatness.com/2019/12/09/obama-and-biden-three-scandals-one-day/">participation</a> in the Trump-Russia collusion ruse.</p>

<p class="subheading">Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates hid from Congress during a November 2017 interview that she first learned about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s calls with a Russian ambassador from then-President Obama, but had confirmed it to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team three months earlier, according to recently released transcripts.</p>
<p>Her different answers suggest that she lied or tried to obscure to members of Congress that Obama was involved and briefed on intimate details of his administration’s efforts to investigate and target Flynn.</p>
<p>During her interview with the House Intelligence Committee on November 3, 2017, she was asked by Rep. Denny Heck (D-WA) how she “first learned” about Flynn’s calls with then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak.</p>
<p>Yates responded that she learned it from the FBI and the National Security Division (NSD) at the Justice Department.</p>
<p>However, three months earlier, on August 15, 2017, she had told Special Counsel investigators that Obama was the one who first told her about Flynn’s calls with Kislyak during a White House meeting in early January.</p>
<p>To compare, this is her exchange with Heck on November 3, 2017, according a <a class="x5l" href="https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/sy57.pdf" target="_blank">recently-released transcript</a> (emphasis added):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>MR. HECK: So then more recently, however, than the summer, as I recall — correct me if I’m wrong — <strong>I would ask you the same question about when and how you first became aware that General Flynn had been in contact with the Russian Ambassador?</strong></p>
<p>MS. YATES: <strong>I learned that in early January of this year from both the FBI and the National Security Division.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is what she told Mueller’s team three months earlier, on August 15, 2017, according to a <a class="x5l" href="https://www.scribd.com/document/460387217/Doc-198-Govt-Motion-to-Dismiss-Criminal-Information-With-Exhibits-05-07-20" target="_blank">recently-released FBI summary</a> of her interview (emphasis added):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Yates first learned of the December 2016 calls between (LTG Michael Flynn and [Russian Ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak on January 5, 2017, while in the Oval Office. Yates, along with then-FBI Director James Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, and then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, were at the White House to brief members of the Obama Administration on the classified Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian Activities in Recent U.S. Elections. President Obama was joined by his National Security Advisor Susan Rice, and others from the National Security Council. <strong>After the briefing, Obama dismissed the group but asked Yates and Comey to stay behind. Obama started by saying he had “learned of the information about Flynn” and his conversation with Kislyak about sanctions.</strong> Obama specified that he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently, given the information. <strong>At that point, Yates had no idea what the President was talking about, but figured it out based on the conversation.</strong></p>
<p>…</p>
<p><strong>It was not clear to Yates from where the President first received the information. Yates did not recall Comey’s response to the President’s question about how to treat Flynn. She was so surprised by the information she was hearing that she was having a hard time processing it and listening to the conversation at the same time.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>In her interview with Congress, Yates also tried to avoid answering whether Flynn’s calls with Kislyak were discussed in the presence of Obama. She turned to her lawyer David O’Neil to intervene at first, and when pressed, said she was getting “a little uncomfortable.”</p>
<p>Here is her exchange with Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) after her exchange with Heck on November 3, 2017:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>MR. TURNER: <strong>ls it correct that at that meeting that’s when you learned of the Flynn/Kislyak conversation?</strong></p>
<p>MS. YATES: Do you want to —</p>
<p>MR. O’NEIL: Yeah. The —</p>
<p>MR. TURNER: Others have answered this question. This is — so I’m merely asking her if she agrees or disagrees with the characterization about this.</p>
<p>MS. YATES: <strong>That’s correct.</strong> But I also thought —</p>
<p>MR. TURNER: Okay. So —</p>
<p>MS. YATES: — and I could be wrong about this, that John Brennan was at that meeting as well.</p>
<p>MR. TURNER: Excellent. Thank you. Wonderful. Appreciate that. And at that meeting, you had indicated that you were not involved in advising the Obama administration on the Flynn matter. At that meeting it was discussed that Mr. Clapper had informed the Obama administration concerning Flynn/Kislyak —</p>
<p>MS. YATES: I didn’t say that Mr. Clapper did that. I said I didn’t do it, and I don’t know who did.</p>
<p>MR. TURNER: Okay. And that meeting, it was — my understanding is that it was discussed, and that at that meeting it was discussed that Mr. Clapper had informed the President and the administration of the issue of the Flynn/Kislyak conversation. You don’t recall?</p>
<p>MS. YATES: <strong>This is where I get a little uncomfortable</strong> because the President was there and the instructions that we got from this White House.</p>
<p>MR. TURNER: Obviously, I’m asking you things that others have testified about. It’s not an issue of executive privilege; it’s asking your recollection.</p>
<p>MR. O’NEIL: Well, to the extent that there are conversations with any President here, those would be subject to the presidential communications privilege, which we —</p>
<p>MR. TURNER: Unless it’s already been subject matter of testimony before us, which, obviously, is why I’m asking you the question. So do you recall at that meeting Mr. Clapper — the discussion of Mr. Clapper informing the administration of the concerns of the Flynn/Kislyak conversation?</p>
<p>MR. O’NEIL: So I’m not sure that just because others have testified about it that we’re not bound by the instruction that this — it’s the current administration has provided, which is that conversations with either the former President or the current President are not ones that should be discussed.</p>

<p>May 10, 2020. "OBAMAGATE!"</p>
<p>That's when President Donald J. Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1259561821289226248">tweeted</a> the one word, all-caps, one exclamation mark, that changes everything. A day earlier, the president had also tweeted <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1259328864859422723?s=20">Jesse Watters' video</a>, titled ‘Obamagate’ – the scandal at the epicenter of American politics that has had many names: “Russiagate”, the “Russia Hoax”, “Spygate”, but it’s only fitting that it should end with its true name.</p>
<p>This was never about the Russians and the spies were cogs in a machine who were following orders.</p>
<p>One man, not some nebulous organization or unaccountable bureaucracy, pushed the lever and decided to use the machinery of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to suppress the political opposition.</p>
<p>Another Democrat in a White House long ago once put up a sign on his desk that said, "the buck stops here." Or, as Lisa Page, formerly of the FBI, texted much more recently, “potus wants to know everything we’re doing." The POTUS in question wasn’t Truman anymore: it was Barack Obama. And the gang that couldn’t frame straight was prepping FBI ex-boss Comey to brief Obama on the plot.</p>
<p>In an address to the real deep state, the 3,000 members of the Obama Alumni Association, the titular head of the government in exile that has been working its manicured fingernails off to subvert, undermine, and betray the actual President of the United States lectured on the rule of law.</p>
<p>"There is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk," Barry scolded.</p>
<p>General Flynn wasn’t charged with perjury. Maybe Page and Strzok should have spent more time helping Comey brief the C student in the Oval Office and less time carrying on. But it’s Obama who might want to spend time reviewing the penalties for perjury or making false statements to the FBI.</p>

<p class="subheading">President Donald Trump hinted that Barack Obama and Joe Biden could soon be implicated for their alleged roles in the controversial Russia collusion investigation.</p>
<p>“There’s more to come from what I understand, and they’re going to be far greater than what you’ve seen so far, and what you’ve seen so far is incredible, especially as it relates to President Obama,” Trump <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/05/08/donald-trump-barack-obama-joe-biden-implicated-russia-hoax/">said</a> during an appearance Friday on <em>Fox & Friends</em> when discussing Obama’s role in the Russia probe.</p>
<p>“I believe he and Biden…Sleepy Joe was involved in this also, very much, and other people around President Obama were totally involved,” Trump said.</p>
<p><strong>1 – Biden was present at a Russia collusion briefing documented in an “odd” Susan Rice email.</strong></p>
<p>Biden was <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/08/joe-bidens-spygate-linked-top-aide-hoped-for-resistance-within-trumps-cabinet-purging-nationalists/">documented</a> as being present in the Oval Office for a conversation about the controversial Russia probe between President Obama, disgraced ex-FBI chief James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and other senior officials including Obama’s national security advisor Susan Rice.</p>
<p>In an action characterized as “odd” in 2018 by then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Rice memorialized the confab in an email to herself describing Obama as starting “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.’”</p>
<p><strong>2 – Biden was reportedly involved in the controversial early stages of the Russia collusion probe.</strong></p>
<p>Biden was reportedly one of the few Obama administration officials who participated in secretive meetings during the early stages of the Obama-era intelligence community’s initial operations regarding suspected Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.</p>
<p>That tidbit was contained deep inside a 7,700-plus word <em>Washington Post </em><a class="x5l" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/national-security/obama-putin-election-hacking/?utm_term=.c66844d95e33" target="_blank">article </a>published June 23, 2017 in which the newspaper also detailed the highly compartmentalized nature of the original Russia interference investigation and the manner in which other U.S. intelligence agencies were deliberately kept in the dark. Part of the efforts eventually involved unsubstantiated and ultimately discredited charges made by the Christopher Steele dossier that Trump campaign officials were colluding with Russia.</p>
<p><strong>3 – Biden’s national security adviser participated in secretive early Russia probe meetings.</strong></p>
<p>Colin Kahl, who served as then-Vice President Biden’s national security adviser, reportedly participated in the secretive and highly compartmentalized early principals’ meetings described above in #2.</p>
<p>The detail was contained in the March 2018 <a class="x5l" href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/03/why-the-hell-are-we-standing-down/" target="_blank">book</a> <em>Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump</em> by Michael Isikoff, chief investigative correspondent for Yahoo News, and David Corn, Washington bureau chief of <em>Mother Jones.</em></p>

Michael Flynn</a> prior to President Donald Trump taking office.</p>
<p>Mark Levin says those documents are "Obama's blue dress...without the DNA on it," in an apparent reference to evidence used during the impeachment trial of former President Bill Clinton.</p>
<h3>What are the details?</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/obama-knew-details-of-wiretapped-flynn-phone-calls-surprising-top-doj-official-new-docs-show" target="_blank">Fox News</a> reported Thursday that:</p>
<blockquote>President Obama was aware of the details of then-incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn's intercepted December 2016 phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, apparently surprising then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, according to documents released Thursday as exhibits to the government's motion to dismiss the Flynn case.<br /><br />Obama's unexpectedly intimate knowledge of the details of Flynn's calls, which the FBI said at the time were not criminal in nature, raised eyebrows because of his own history with Flynn — and because top FBI officials secretly discussed whether their goal was to 'get [Flynn] fired' when they interviewed him in the White House on January 24, 2017.</blockquote>
<p>In reaction to the news, Mark Levin joined Fox News's Sean Hannity to discuss the revelations, holding up the documents and telling the host, "Sean, you know what this is? This is Barack Obama's blue dress. That's what that is, without the DNA on it."</p>
<p>Levin went on to explain, "We're supposed to believe that during the Obama administration, the FBI went rogue, The Department of Justice went rogue, the CIA went rogue, the DNI went rogue, the NSC went rogue, with all these leaks in the newspapers—The New York Times and The Washington Post that anybody can read and see—and Barack Obama didn't know anything. Poor Barack Obama, poor Joe Biden. The fact of the matter is, they've never been asked."</p>

<p class="subheading">Former first lady Michelle Obama said in her newly-released Netflix documentary <em>Becoming</em> that having children was a “concession” that cost her “aspirations and dreams.”</p>
<p>Obama made the remarks while talking about her desire to become “equal” to her husband, President Barack Obama.</p>
<p>'My relationship with Barack was all about our equal partnership,” Obama recalled. “If I was going to have a unique voice with this very opinionated man, I had to get myself up and set myself off to a place where I was going to be his equal.”</p>
<p>However, the birth of their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, “changed” the course of the couple’s relationship.</p>

<p>If Joe Biden exits the presidential race, Democrats might be able to nominate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton along with former President Barack Obama as her running mate, Douglas MacKinnon wrote in an opinion <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/495580-a-hillary-clinton-barack-obama-ticket-to-replace-joe-biden">piece</a> published Saturday by The Hill.</p>
<p>MacKinnon, who served as a writer during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, said that some Democrats are concerned about Biden's candidacy as the former vice president faces an allegation of sexual assault as well as concerns regarding his age, mental acuity and his son Hunter Biden's business activities.</p>
<p>Biden is the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee, but McKinnon said the Clinton-Obama ticket may be an option if Biden drops out. While Obama has already served two terms in office, MacKinnon wrote that the former president might be able to serve as vice president.</p>
<p>He pointed to the <a href="https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/amendment/amendment-xii">12th Amendment</a> which states "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." But he also noted that the 22nd Amendment says an individual cannot be elected president more than two times. </p>

<p>It reads like a Cold War thriller. It even has almost the same characters, U.S. Intelligence versus the Intelligence apparatus of a large communist nation. But it’s the Chinese this time, not the Soviets, and their counterintel boys have been up late at night.</p>
<p>With thousands of Chinese college students studying in America the opportunities for U.S. Intelligence to recruit some of these students is great. But when they get back to China their chances for exposure and brutal punishment have been great as well.</p>
<p>It is just coming to light that during the Obama administration, what a surprise, up to a dozen carefully nurtured U.S. Intelligence assets were arrested by Chinese counterintelligence agents. Some were publicly murdered.</p>
<p>The disgraced 44th president hated U.S. Intelligence, as he saw U.S. power in any field as a threat to his authoritarian socialist and radical Islamist friends. He thus misused American Intelligence services. The Chinese took advantage of that presidential loathing of his own nation to destroy U.S. Intel assets working in their country.</p>
<p><em>Fox News </em>reports, “It was devastating. The setback probably delayed the U.S. national security community from fully comprehending Beijing’s move toward a more oppressive and assertive policy,” said Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute.</p>

<p class="subheading">During almost all of Barack Obama’s presidency, the United States space industry was outsourced to Russia. But President Donald Trump has made space exploration a priority of his administration, and for the first time in almost a decade, a space flight will depart from Florida on May 27.</p>
<p>The date for the upcoming trip from U.S. soil to the International Space Station could change, but it will happen, NASA officials said, marking the first Florida launch since the final space shuttle flight in 2011.</p>
<p>The <em>Washington Post</em><a class="x5l" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/04/17/spacex-nasa-crewed-flight-date/?utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere&utm_medium=email&utm_source=alert&wpisrc=al_news__alert-hse--alert-national&wpmk=1" target="_blank"> reported</a> on the development, including a public, private partnership that will make it happen:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This time, though, the launch will be markedly different from any other in the history of the space agency. Unlike Mercury, Gemini, <a class="x5l" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/apollo11/?tid=lk_inline_manual_6&itid=lk_inline_manual_6" target="_blank">Apollo</a> or the space shuttle era, the rocket will be owned and operated not by NASA, but by a private company — SpaceX, the hard-charging commercial space company founded by Elon Musk.</p>
<p>For all the company’s triumphs, and its experience flying cargo to the International Space Station for NASA, it has never <a class="x5l" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/03/01/nasa-needs-spacex-prove-it-can-fly-astronauts-safely-saturdays-test-flight-is-called-crucial-step/?tid=lk_inline_manual_9&itid=lk_inline_manual_9" target="_blank">flown</a> a single human being into space, a significant and dangerous challenge. NASA has spent years working with the California-based company to ensure its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft can safely deliver astronauts to orbit. And the flight would be the culmination of years of work, which has at times seen setbacks and delays.</p>
<p>With a successful launch, SpaceX would accomplish an upset over its rival, Boeing, which also is under contract to fly NASA crews to the space station as part of the agency’s “commercial crew program.” Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft suffered a series of significant setbacks during a test flight without astronauts in December that prevented it from docking with the station and prompted an investigation by NASA.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The <em>Post</em> reported the investigation uncovered problems and now Boeing recently agreed to <a class="x5l" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/04/06/boeing-starliner-test-repeat/?tid=lk_inline_manual_12&itid=lk_inline_manual_12" target="_blank">refly</a> the mission without astronauts on board before it will launch with astronauts.</p>

<p class="subheading">Former President Barack Obama was one of the central figures behind Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) exit from the presidential race, according to a report from the <em>New York Times</em>.</p>
<p>While Obama failed to publicly support his former running mate throughout the primary race, he quietly worked behind the scenes to encourage the Vermont senator to exit the primary race, <a class="x5l" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/14/us/politics/obama-biden-democratic-primary.html" target="_blank">having</a> several phone conversations with him over the last few weeks, according to the <em>Times</em>.</p>
<p>The former president reportedly made the first call to Sanders at the end of March, as the coronavirus pandemic worsened and Sanders’ campaign continued to falter, reportedly citing the need to “accelerate the endgame.”</p>
<p>According to the <em>Times</em>, Obama informed Sanders that he had, largely, accomplished his political goal in moving the party further to the left:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="css-exrw3m evys1bk0">In late March, Mr. Obama reached out to Mr. Sanders. The two men would talk at least three more times, with the former president reassuring Mr. Sanders that he had already accomplished much of what he had set out to do, moving the party — and Mr. Biden — substantially to the left, according to two people with knowledge of their interactions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That much is certainly true for Biden, who over the course of his campaign has embraced positions once deemed too radical by the party. By the end of the race, Biden had openly <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/08/bernie-sanders-successfully-pushed-joe-biden-further-left/">called</a> for raising taxes, embracing some form of a Green New Deal, and providing government-run health care for illegal immigrants.</p>
<p>According to the <em>Times</em>‘ sources, Obama “mostly listened to Mr. Sanders, who was in a reflective mood, speaking candidly about his post-campaign plans and feelings about the race, the kind of conversation the two men had never had before.”</p>

<p>While the nation is preoccupied with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, American “former” Maoists are trying to choose Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s running mate for him.</p>
<p>San Francisco lawyer Steve Phillips and his long-time collaborator Aimee Allison are pushing for a “woman of color” to round out Biden’s presidential ticket. More than that, Phillips and Allison are promoting a shortlist that consists entirely of radicals with direct ties to their own socialist clique.</p>
<p>At Stanford University for most of the 1980s, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/steve-phillips-meet-the-mega-wealthy-marxist-leninist-behind-four-potential-governors-in-november-2_2639953.html" target="_blank">Phillips</a> was a proud Marxist-Leninist and supporter of the pro-CCP League of Revolutionary Struggle. After finally leaving school, Phillips married into the mega-wealthy Sandler family of San Francisco and their $2.6 billion fortune. Phillips has used that wealth and influence to back far-left “candidates of color” for positions of high office through his organization’s PowerPAC and Democracy in Color. He is also a leader of the Democracy Alliance, a semi-secret cabal of the leftist mega-rich, which includes financier George Soros and former presidential candidate <a href="https://keywiki.org/Tom_Steyer" target="_blank">Tom Steyer</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://keywiki.org/Aimee_Allison" target="_blank">Allison</a> was a friend of Phillips at Stanford and was active in the same Maoist circles. She has worked closely with Phillips in PowerPAC and Democracy in Color, and now in the closely affiliated “She the People”—specifically established to elect hard-left “women of color” to high public office.</p>
<p>In 2008, Phillips raised an <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2008/08/pro-obama-group-has-10m-for-election-012431" target="_blank">early $10 million</a> to help Barack Obama get ahead of Hillary Clinton in that year’s presidential primaries.</p>
<p>In 2013, Phillips raised several million to elect his old Stanford classmate Cory Booker to the U.S. Senate from New Jersey. He also helped elect another close friend, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-kamala-harris" target="_blank">Kamala Harris</a>, first as California attorney general in 2010 and then to the U.S. Senate in 2016.</p>
<p>In 2018, Phillips heavily backed two long-time proteges and former PowerPAC+ <a href="https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/pacplus/pages/244/attachments/original/1396464136/2013_plans_booklet.pdf?1396464136" target="_blank">board members</a> <a href="https://keywiki.org/Stacey_Abrams" target="_blank">Stacey Abrams</a> and Andrew Gillum for the governorships of Georgia and Florida, respectively. Both lost by a whisker. Abrams and Gillum both <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/andrew-gillums-maoist-support-network_2667217.html" target="_blank">worked closely with Democratic Socialists of America</a> (DSA) and pro-China front groups such as Liberation Road and the New Florida Majority during their campaigns.</p>
<p>Phillips backed Booker in the latest presidential primary, but he failed to fire. His other hope, Kamala Harris (who <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-rainbow-coalition-re-visited-why-kamala-harris-will-be-the-democratic-presidential-nominee_3027856.html" target="_blank">I believed</a> would be the Democratic candidate), also failed to perform.</p>
<p>So now Phillips and Allison are trying for a second bite at the cherry. They’re promoting the line that Biden must choose a “woman of color” for his running mate. Moreover, that candidate has to be either Abrams or Harris.</p>
<p>Phillips’ <a href="http://democracyincolor.com/wocpetition" target="_blank">Democracy in Color</a> website features an “Open Letter to Democratic Presidential Candidates: A Call for Committing to Choosing a Woman of Color as Candidate for <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-vice-president" target="_blank">Vice President</a>.”</p>
<p><em>“Dear Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders.</em></p>
<p><em>“Here is a fact: the Democratic Party needs the leadership, vision, and expertise of women and people of color now more than ever. While you cannot change who you are, you can show us who you value by committing to choose a woman of color as your running mate for Vice President.</em></p>
<p><em>“The majority of Democratic voters are women, and nearly half of all Democratic voters are people of color. At the intersection of those communities—which make up 77% of all Democratic voters in the last two presidential elections—women of color have a unique and critical role to play in galvanizing the entire progressive coalition. …</em></p>
<p><em>“We strongly urge you to show the leadership this moment demands by publicly committing today to pick a woman of color to serve as your Vice President.”</em></p>
<p>The letter was co-signed by Phillips-affiliated groups She the People, PowerPAC+, Southern Elections Fund, and The Collective PAC, and the Abrams-linked New Georgia Project Action Fund.</p>
