Rudy Giuliani: Andrew McCabe, Christopher Steele & Bruce Ohr Should Be in Prison

First of all, I know you agree with me. The people it indicts are the corrupted politicians at the top of the FBI and DOJ. No field office of the FBI is implicated in this, no agent who sacrificing his life to protect us. It’s a bunch of these phony politicians at the top who corrupt themselves because they want to suck up to whoever’s in power. I would describe Comey that way, a whole bunch of other people like that. McCabe, his wife running for office, getting millions of dollars from Hillary. These are suck-up politicians. They’re not FBI agents like you know who are police officers–

PIRRO: Right, not the guys you and I worked for–

GIULIANI: The guys who go out and arrest people, put their lives on the live. My god, their hands would shake if they had to do that.

PIRRO: Yes.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) just dropped an absolute bombshell on Hugh Hewitt's nationally syndicated radio program.

Cotton it should be noted always saw through the media, and the Democrats, smear job on Trump.

But these new revelations, if true, change everything. Because Cotton adds the malicious intent and calls it was it was: sabotage.

Cotton told Hugh Hewitt "so many Obama officials and senior officials in the FBI came to believe that an American presidential campaign was colluding with a foreign intelligence service."

Hugh asked Tom Cotton if his "premise" was that Obama administration officials tried to "sabotage" Trump and saddle him with an albatross across his neck to damage his presidency.

"I don't think based on what we've seen over the last three years you can have any other working premise," Cotton said.

And Cotton is not the only one who wants to go after Obama and his team. From The Hill:

"Republicans believe that the FBI and [Department of Justice] the top people took the law in their own hands because they wanted [Hillary] Clinton to win and Trump to lose," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said during an interview with Fox News's Neil Cavuto as part of a media blitz discussing his plans for an investigation.

He said that he will be looking at "abuse" of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application process and the counterintelligence operation into Trump's campaign, adding that "there will be a lot of inquiry as to how this all happened."

GOP senators are already naming former officials who would be at the top of their lists to question, including former FBI Director James Comey and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy predicted Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community might stop providing information to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff because he leaks "like a screen door on a submarine."

Gowdy was asked to weigh in on Republicans' decision Thursday to call on Schiff to step down as chairman of the House panel. (RELATED: House Intel Republicans Call On Adam Schiff To Step Down As Chairman)

"Never seen that before," said Gowdy, who served on the intelligence panel before leaving Congress in January. "We never voted to remove or ask a chairperson to step down."

"Adam is a deeply partisan person. He did everything he could to make sure Hillary Clinton became president. And he's done everything he could to keep a cloud over the Trump presidency," Gowdy said of Schiff.

Gowdy suggested House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could potentially remove Schiff as chairman of the committee. He also said the CIA and other intelligence community agencies could withhold intelligence from Schiff.

"The next thing that's going to happen is the different intelligence entities are going to say, 'You know what, Chairman Schiff, if you don't believe the information we provide to you if you have the president of the United States, not just indicted but in jail and you continue to leak like a screen door on a submarine, we're going to quit giving you information,'" said Gowdy.

"That's when Pelosi will replace Adam Schiff with someone like [Connecticut Rep.] Jim Himes, who is someone who is a smarter and a lot more reasonable."

Schiff was a leading voice among Democrats accusing President Donald Trump and his associates of colluding with Russians to influence the 2016 election. In May 2017, he said he had seen "more than circumstantial evidence" of collusion.

Special counsel Robert Mueller appears to have seen different evidence. In a report delivered to the Justice Department on March 22, Mueller said prosecutors "did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

Schiff has long been accused of leaking information to the media regarding the Russia probe.

Donald Trump Jr. has accused the Democrat of leaking an inaccurate story about him in December 2017. During Trump Jr.'s private testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, CNN broke a story that Trump Jr. had received an email Sept. 4, 2016, that included a link to WikiLeaks materials.

The story was a bombshell at the time because it suggested Trump Jr. received WikiLeaks documents before they were released to the public. But CNN's sources turned out to be wrong. The email was actually dated Sept. 14, 2016, a day after the information was published.

On Monday former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper went on with CNN's Anderson Cooper to discuss the Mueller Report after its release on Sunday.

After two years of investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team of angry Democrats did not find any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mueller also did not find any evidence of conspiracy after President Trump fired crooked leaker FBI Director James Comey.

Clapper defended the Obama administration's spying on their political opposition during the election.
And then Clapper appeared to put blame on Barack Obama for spying on his opponent during the 2016 presidential election.



ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: The 2017 assessment that the President says he now agrees with, that was done while you and then NCI Director John Brennan were still in office. So, how can we reconcile the President attacking you, but apparently after a very long time finally, allegedly saying or saying he allegedly agrees with the product of the intelligence community that you, yourself oversaw?

JAMES CLAPPER: Yes, well, this is yes, as we've come to know the President, he is not a stalwart for a consistency or coherence. So it's very hard to explain that. One point I'd like to make, Anderson, that I don't think has come up very much before, and I'm alluding now to the President's criticism of President Obama for all that he did or didn't do before he left office with respect to the Russian meddling. If it weren't for President Obama, we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set off a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today, notably, special counsel Mueller's investigation.

President Obama is responsible for that, and it was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. I think it's an important point when it comes to critiquing President Obama

The Tables Turn in Russian Collusion Hunt



LINK

quote:

The irony of the entire Russian collusion hoax is that accusers who cried the loudest about
leaking, collusion, lying, and obstruction are themselves soon very likely to be accused of just
those crimes.

Now that Robert Mueller's 674-day, $30 million investigation is over and has failed to find the
original goal of its mandate evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government to sway the 2016 election and now that thousands of once-sealed government documents will likely be released in unredacted form, those who
eagerly assumed the role of the hunters may become the hunted, due to their own zealous
violation of the nation's trust and its laws.

Take Lying
Former FBI Director James Comey's testimonies cannot be reconciled with those of his own
deputy director Andrew McCabe. He falsely testified that the Steele dossier was not the main
basis for obtaining FISA court warrants. On at least 245 occasions, Comey swore under oath
that he either did not know, or could not remember, when asked direct questions about his
conduct at the FBI. He likely lied when he testified that he did not conclude his assessment of
the Clinton illegal email use before he had even interviewed Clinton, an assertion contradicted by his own written report. I guess his credo and modus operandi are reflected in the subtitle of his recent autobiography A Higher Loyalty: "Truth, Lies, and Leadership."


Andrew McCabe currently is under criminal referral for lying to federal investigators about
leaking to the media. He and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein each have accused each other of not telling the whole truth about their shared caper of trying to force President Trump out of office by invoking the 25th Amendment.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has admitted to lying under oath to
Congress and since lied about his earlier admission of that lying. His recent sworn
congressional testimony of not having leaked information about the Steele dossier to the media is again likely to be untrue, given that Clapper had admitted to speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper
about the dossier's contents. CNN, remember, would in turn go on to hire the mendacious
Clapper as an analyst. And once on air, Clapper would insist that Trump was both a Russian
asset and thus guilty of collusion crimes greater than those of Watergate. Lies. All lies.

Former CIA Director John Brennan has admitted to lying under oath to Congress on two
occasions. He may well face further legal exposure. When he lost his security clearance, he
repeatedly lied that Trump was guilty of collusion, however that non-crime is defined. And as
the Mueller probe wound down, Brennan with pseudo-authority and trumped-up hints of phony access to secret intelligence sources deceitfully assured the nation that Trump within days
would face indictment perhaps along with his family members.

Brennan in 2016 also reached out to foreign intelligence services, primary British and Australian, to surveille and entrap Trump aides, as a way of circumventing rules preventing CIA monitoring of American citizens. And he may well have also reverse-targeted Americans, under the guise of monitoring foreign nationals, in order to build a case of so-called Trump collusion.

Finally, Brennan testified to Congress in May 2017 that he had not been earlier aware of the
dossier or its contents before the election, although in August 2016 it is almost certain that he
had briefed Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on it in a spirited effort to have Reid pressure the FBI to keep or expand its counterintelligence investigation of Trump during the critical final weeks of
the election.

Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin likely also lied to FBI investigators when they
claimed they had no knowledge while working at the State Department that their boss,
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was using an illegal private email server. In fact, they had read her communications on it and actually inquired about its efficacy.

Samantha Power, the former U.N. ambassador, in her last year in office requested on more than 260 occasions to unmask names of Americans monitored by the government. Yet Power later
claimed that most of these requests were not made by her. And yet she either does not know or does not cite who exactly used her name to make such requests during the election cycle. In any case, no one has come forward to admit to the improper use of Power's name to request the
hundreds of unmaskings.


Susan Rice, the former Obama national security advisor, could have made a number of
unmasking requests in Power's name, although she initially denied making any requests in her own namea lie she immediately amended. Rice, remember, repeatedly lied on national
television about the cause and origins of the Benghazi attack, denied there were cash payments for hostages in the Iran deal, misled about the conduct of Beau Bergdahl, and prevaricated over the existence and destruction of weapons of mass destruction in Syria.

Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr did not tell the truth on a federal written disclosure
required by law when he omitted the key fact that his wife Nellie worked on Christopher Steele's Fusion GPS dossier. Ohr's testimony that he completely briefed key FBI officials on the dossier in July or August 2016 is not compatible to what former FBI attorney Lisa Page has testified to
concerning the dates of her own knowledge of the Steele material.

Take Foreign Collusion
Christopher Steele is a foreign national. So are many of the Russian sources that he claims he
had contacted to solicit dirt on Donald Trump and his campaign aides. In fact, John Brennan's
CIA, soon in consultation with the FBI, was used in circuitous fashion to facilitate surveillance of Donald Trump's campaign through the use of foreign nationals during the 2016 campaign.

Foreigners such as Maltese professor Josef Mifsud, and former Australian minister for foreign
affairs Alexander Downer and an array of intelligence contractors from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) mysteriously met with minor Trump aide George Papadopoulos
and others. It is likely that to disguise American intelligence agencies' efforts to besmirch,
surveille, and leak to the press damaging unfounded rumors about the Trump campaign that
John Brennan enlisted an entire cadre of foreign nationals. And it is likely to be the most
egregious example of using non-U.S. citizens to affect the outcome of an election in our history.

If there is a crime of foreign collusion a conspiracy of U.S. officials to use foreigners to interfere with an American election then Brennan's efforts are the textbook example.

Take Leaking
Many of the names unmasked by requests from Samantha Power and Susan Rice were leaked
illegally to the media. James Comey himself leaked confidential memos of presidential
conversations to the press; in at least one case, the memo was likely classified.

Former FBI general counsel James Baker is currently under criminal referral for improperly
leaking classified documents. He seems to have been in contact with the media before the
election and he may have been one of many FBI officials and contacts, along with Christopher
Steele, that reporters such as David Corn, Michael Isikoff, and Julia Ioffe anonymously
referenced in their pre-election published hit pieces on Russian collusion all the result of the
successful strategies of Fusion GPS, along with some in the FBI, to seed unverified anti-Trump
gossip to warp the election. Andrew McCabe also is under criminal referral both for leaking
classified information and then lying about it.

In a fashion emblematic of this entire sordid mess, the always ethically compromised James

Clapper in January 2017 had leaked the dossier to Jake Tapper of CNN and likely other
journalists and then shortly afterwards publicly deplored just this sort of government leaking
that had led to sensational stories about the dossier.

Take Obstruction of Justice
A number of FBI and Department of Justice high ranking employees such as James Comey,
Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, and Sally Yates all signed off on FISA warrants to surveille
Carter Page without apprising the courts that they knew that their chief evidence, the Steele
Dossier, was unverified, was paid for by Hillary Clinton, and was used in circular fashion as the basis for news accounts presented to the court. Nor did the Justice Department and FBI officials apprise the FISA justices that Christopher Steele had been terminated as a FBI source.

No one believes that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch just happened to meet Bill Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac and confined their conservations to a variety of topics having
nothing to do with Hillary Clinton at a time when Lynch's Justice Department was investigating her.

Note the meeting was only disclosed because a reporter got a tip and arrived on the scene of the two adjoining Lynch and Clinton private jets which suggests that the only thing Lynch
and Clinton regretted was being found out. Few believe that Lynch had recused herself as she
promised, given her strict oversight of the sort of language Comey's FBI was allowed to use in its investigation of Clinton.

Take Conflict of Interest
Andrew McCabe never should have been in charge of the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton,
given that just months earlier his wife had been the recipient of $675,000 in campaign cash
donated by Clinton and Democratic Party-affiliated political action committees. And the apology of a "time line" that suggests conflicts of interest like McCabe's expired after an arbitrary date is specious.

McCabe knew his spouse had been a recent recipient of Clinton-related money, knew that he had substantial influence on the fate of her email investigation, and hoped and
assumed that she was likely to be the next president of the United States quite soon.

Rod Rosenstein never should have been appointed acting attorney general in charge of
oversight of the Mueller investigation. He knew Mueller well. In circular fashion, he had drafted
the rationale to fire Comey that had prompted the Mueller's appointment. He had signed off on a FISA warrant request without apprising the court of the true nature of the Steele dossier's
origins and nature. He had met shortly before the Mueller appointment with acting FBI director Andrew McCabe to investigate the chance of removing Trump under a distortion of the 25th
Amendment. So, in essence, Rosenstein had been one of the catalysts for McCabe to investigate removing Trump for his own part in the removal of Comey and then in Orwellian fashion joined McCabe's efforts.

Comey deliberately leaked a classified memo of a presidential conversation, in which he had
misled the president about his actual status under FBI investigations, in order to cause enough media outrage over his firing to prompt the hiring of a special counsel. That gambit succeeded

in the appointment of his own longtime associate Robert Mueller, who would be charged to
investigate "collusion," in which Comey played an important role in monitoring the Trump
campaign with the assistance of British national Christopher Steele.

Robert Mueller did not need to appoint a legal team inordinately Democratic, which included
attorneys who had been either donors to the Clinton campaign, or had been attorneys for
Clinton aides, or had defended the Clinton Foundation. And he certainly should not have
included on his investigative team that was charged with adjudicating Russian collusion in the
2016 election both Zainab Ahmad and Andrew Weissman, Obama Justice Department officials, who had been briefed by Bruce Ohr before the election on the nature of the Steele dossier and
its use of foreign sources.

It will be difficult to unravel all of the above lying, distortion, and unethical and illegal conduct.
The motives of these bad actors are diverse, but they share a common denominator. As
Washington politicos and administrative state careerists, all of them believed that Donald Trump was so abhorrent that he should be prevented from winning the 2016 election. After his
stunning and shocking victory, they assumed further that either he should not be inaugurated or he should be removed from office as soon as they could arrange it.

They further reasoned that as high and esteemed unelected officials their efforts were above
and beyond the law, and rightly so, given their assumed superior wisdom and morality.

Finally, if their initial efforts were predicated on winning not just exemption from the law, but
even promotions and kudos from a grateful President Hillary Clinton, their subsequent energies at removing Trump and investing in the collusion hoax were preemptive and defensive. Seeding the collusion hoax was a way either of removing Trump who had the presidential power to call
them all to account for their illegality, or at least causing so much media chaos and political
havoc that their own crimes and misdemeanors would be forgotten by becoming submerged
amid years of scandal, conspiracies, and media sensationalism.

And they were almost but so far not quite correct in all their assumptions.

Sean Hannity says sources tell him 'extraordinarily damning' information coming out about DOJ, FBI

quote:

Fox News host Sean Hannity said Monday his sources are telling him information that could soon be released regarding alleged corruption at the Justice Department and FBI will be "extraordinarily damning."

He made the bold prediction about the so-called "five buckets of information" during an interview with Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, bringing up the upcoming criminal referral focusing on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.

"There are going to be criminal referrals issued this week by Chairman Nunes," Hannity said. "There are going to be the president, I interviewed last week there will be the FISA applications released. There will be [FBI] 302s released, [and] there will be Gang of Eight material. We've identified five buckets of information that will be extraordinarily damning. I know that to be the case, based on all of my sources."

Both Hannity and House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., have talked for months about fighting for the release of several "buckets" of information related to potential misconduct of federal officials.

Nunes says he is prepared to submit a criminal referral this week after President Trump said Wednesday he plans to release the unredacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants made during the early stages of the Russia investigation.

Meadows, who last month said an incoming release of documents will "show" U.S. ambassadors conspired with the FBI and the Justice Department to harm Trump, said there needs to be accountability for anyone who violates Americans' civil liberties.

"They're not going to like that, Sean. But I think you have the professor on tonight," he said. It's all about civil liberties and making sure those civil liberties are protected. If we cannot count on our government to protect those precious rights to privacy without warrants and warrantless searches, then we've got a real problem. Some of those criminal referrals are justified. Certainly some of the declassification that gets to the bottom of this is justified. At the same time, we have to protect our national security interests. "

Nunes has not named anyone who could appear in a referral, but he has railed against what he says is collusion between the Democrats and the Russians, pointing to use of the unverified Trump dossier by the FBI to obtain FISA warrants to spy on onetime Trump campaign official Carter Page as proof of an unraveling operation to undermine the president. That dossier, compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, was funded in part by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., appeared to raise exceptions for the number of people who could be the subject of a criminal referral he plans to submit to the Justice Department in the coming days that focuses on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.

The ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee has been teasing a referral for months and previously predicted its delivery by the end of next week.

During a Fox News interview Wednesday evening, Nunes walked back his prior certainty the referral would be ready by Friday due to the burgeoning challenge of ensnaring as many individuals as possible

The American people need to have confidence in the FBI and the Department of Justice. We are working on the referrals," Nunes said. "There's going to be many of them. There are going to probably at least be a dozen if not two dozen individuals, and as we continue to get more information and build these and build them out, we want to make sure that everything is finished before we turn them in."

Affirming commentary by host Sean Hannity about preventing future underhanded tactics to undermine President Trump, Nunes said, "There are people who definitely lied and misled Congress, OK? If they don't go to prison, we are going to have a two-tier Justice Department, justice system in this country and it is not going to be good for the American people."

I think the good guys are going to use timing and strategy when using up the ammo they have.

Lets think about the bullets each side can fire and will fire and how this will play in the big league media news cycle.

The big deal we have upcoming that will take control of the narrative is when the redacted version of the Mueller Report is released in the coming days.

Any news that is going on before this event will fall off the radar. So, its best not to use the criminal referral bullet until after this event.

The good guys have a lot of bullets to fire (criminal referrals, FISA release, FBI 502's released, Gang of Eight info released and whatever comes out in the wash with this...) and each one is something that they want played out in the media as much as possible.

The Deep State guys will do what they can to counter these releases by making a bigger news splash to drown out the really bad stuff that Trump and his team will drop. (Finding something on Trump from the Mueller report, endless investigations, some kind of mass shooting, a big time figure passing away like RBG...anything to change the news narrative)

It going to be a chess match to control the narrative that will probably play out until the 2020 election and beyond...

Sit back and get your popcorn...
