What stood out to me was Cypress. Seems a lot of people were in Cypress. Like George Papadopoulos who was given $10,000 cash IN CYPRESS and realised it was strange so he gave it to an attorney in Greece to hold and document the serial numbers from the bills and report to the FBI that someone was trying to bribe him. What he found out was when he landed in the US he was immediately grabbed at the airport and questioned about the money. Good thing he did not have it on him or he would have gone to jail a very long time.

Of course how did the FBI know to ask him about the money?

Good reminder about another victim of this.

They were trying to flip him with the entrapment, not jail him. Remember the OCONUS lure was all about feeding false evidence into the Trump campaign's for the fraudulent FISA warrant to "discover." Only Papadopoulos wasn't taking the bait voluntarily. Flip him and they could write the emails to be feed into the campaign themselves.

TBH, I doubt mueller had any real involvement in “his” investigation, he was appointed to lend credence to it even with the skeletons in his closet! Or maybe forced to lend his name because of the skeletons! His testimony proved how little he knew about the investigations or even the report! The investigation was designed to cover up the FBI’s illegal activities for Obama and the democrats!

They also subpoenaed hundreds of thousands of items- texts, emails, phone messages. I am certain they believed they would find tonnes of evidence of shady dealing by Trump that could then be leaked to Dem state attorney generals for later prosecution, keeping Trump from running in 2020. I mean, if you took your average real estate and casino mogul and got access to all of their communications wouldn’t you believe you’d find some wrongdoing somewhere?

The purpose of the Mueller investigation was to continue to spy on Trump and gain access to all communications.

And out of all that, Trump comes across as a rare honest person or someone so clever he could obscure evidence. Somehow, I don't see Trump with an elaborate scheme like Manafort - interlocking thicket of shell corporations, etc.

My claim has been that Trump is/was the cleanest person in DC simply because he isn't a lifelong politician. Anyone from the swamp has slime on them that can be opportunistically used to coerce or manipulate their behavior because they operate in a culture of trading favors (quid pro quo) and logrolling (votes)--the idea behind bootlegger and Baptist coalitions.

Trump's business world operates primarily with arms-length agreements, not arm twisting.

We are in agreement. As perhaps an honest broker turned into politics he was a very real threat to politicians on either party; he had to be destroyed as a message to others of his kind - not wanted here.

The purpose of Mueller was to cover up all the previous wrong doing by Obama's admin and Comey's FBI and to obstruct any investigation into it.

Nunes, Grassley, Johnson asks for some info and they're told no comment, ongoing investigation

Also to cover up deep state corruption at DOJ National Security Division. John Carlin, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Dana Boente, David Laufman all extremely slimey operators at the very heart of the Deep State cabal.

Isn't it convenient that DOJ NSD is exempt from Inspector General scrutiny. Gee, I wonder why?

The NSD was a creation of Obamboozler and Holder to weaponize the DOJ/FBI against political opponents.

Exactly. King Baracki and his "wingman" weaponized George Bushes' Deep State for partisan political purposes. So far it has been a spectacular success for DemocRATS.

If Mueller had no real involvement, it was by design. He’s as corrupt as the rest of the deep state. Just like Christopher Wray. I’m not buying and frankly tired of excuses made for the likes of Mueller and Wray. They knew and know exactly what’s going on and are lying. They know how to stay at arms length so as not to be legally implicated.

After seeing Mueller's testimony to Congress, I'm willing to believe he had no idea what was going on at all. He reminded me of Biden, only further in the grasp of dementia. It was painful to watch.

hope this is followable.

The Special Counsel law requires the the SC undergo an appropriate background investigation and a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest issues.

I filed an FOIA on 8/7/2017 asking for the results of background investigation and "detailed" review of ethics and conflicts of interest.

DOJ shuffled my request to different agencies.

I had to refile to the correct agencies.

They finally acknowledged, on 06/17/2019, that they got the request on 08/31/2018. An appologized for the "mismanagement".(Cripes)

They finally honored part of the FOIA request on 5/7/2021 via an email letter to me from Morton Posner, Deputy General Counsel, stating: The "Justice Management Division (JMD)" portion of the FOIA is complete.

His proof:

He sent a copy of a letter dated 05/17/2017 from the ethics people(Cyntia Shaw, director) (parts redacted) to Scott Schools, Associate Deputy AG saying (citing a law different than the SC law) even if there is conflics of interest, the needs of the government to have Mr . Mueller as SC outweigh the conflicts. Ms. Shaw proceeded to cite Mr. Mueller's resume rather than show any review of ethics or conflicts of interest investigation.. (Ethics and background check took less than a day ?)

Scott Schools wrote and hand delivered a letter to Mr. Mueller on 05/19/2017, saying Mueller was good to go after also citing Mueller's resume.

I don't expect to see the other part of my FOIA request.

A POX on all their houses.

Great legal analysis between you, cleveland and shipwreck if the public doesn’t realize that this was a well organized conspiracy to interfere in the 2016 election and after the election to destroy Trump presidency using the manufactured Steele dossier. The legal question I have is was the Steele dossier the basis for Rosenstien scope memo appointing Mueller if so than under the fruits of the forbidden tree all of Mueller cases should be voided. It’s sad Durham didn’t do a conspiracy investigation as all of the information on Dolan and Mueller and the cabal within the FBI leadership confirm the the documentary evidence of Brennan notes and CIA referral memo of the Hillary DNC plan to taint Trump with colluding with the Russians. The fact they continued the agreement using Steele dossier to destroy Trump. There a few more shoes that need to drop that being Mifsud and British intel involvement along with entrapment ops against team trump.

Expand full comment

Im under the impression that Mifsud acted on his, and his friends' own behalf.

What most don't realize is that Mifsud is SO closely tied to the Clintons (through Prince Turki and Gianni Pittella) that he, Arvendir Sambei etc etc would have automatically worked to sabotage anyone who worked for an opponent of Hillary without even a nod or a wink.

Turki is Longtime friend of Bill. Mifsud and Turki are close. Mifsud's dear old friend Pittella stumped for Hillary at her campaign rally in July of 2016.

Durham gained possession of Mifsud's cell phones.

If there was direct incriminating evidence of CIA to Mifsud on the phones, Durham would know.

But, like I said, Mifsud would have tried to sabotage George Papadopoulos without anyone official asking.

Only problem I have with the Mifsud angle is (it appears) he never really followed up/pestered Papa D to try and work a deal with the Russians for Hillary emails.

This has bothered me from the start

Expand full comment

I believe Mifsud was sent in to trap Papa D...He didn't follow up bc Papa D was arrested at Dulles.

Expand full comment

Operatives like this are so well connected, so 'in the know', so clandestine that he would not have had to have been 'sent in'. Vincenzo Scotti put him up to it. But he and his whole huge circle of multinational Western intelligence people, in my opinion, just "Knew what to do".

I say this because they were setting up Mike Flynn in 2014.

They lay the groundwork for entrapment long before there is a direct need.

Its a sinister way of life.

Expand full comment

True, I only said that bc of the $10k bait money given to Papa D to be found when he re-entered the US.

Expand full comment

Papa D was arrested in 2017. His interactions with Mifsud occurred in the Spring of 2016.

I still puzzle over Mifsud's motives because he made no real effort to further entrap Papa D by pursuing the alleged offer of Russian assistance to the Trump campaign.

As a side note, the convo bt Mifsud and Papa D was never an adequate predicate for CH. I would have told him Russia had Hillary's missing emails if we had sat down for a beer back then )or today). It's a given her server was hacked by 1/2 a doz or more foreign countries

Expand full comment

Yes, it was a conspiracy by many foreign & domestic to take down Trump and Flynn and started in 2015.

Expand full comment

Mifsud's motives were simply that he & his friends were diametrically opposed in every ideological, philosophical way to Trump, or the conservatives in the US and 100% for the Democrats being in power. They are European leftists.

The instant Arvendir Sambei & friends got wind that PapaD was working for trump, they spring into action.

They tried to honeypot George P with the fake "putins niece" almost immediately, before the DNC hack (or insider breach) was anywhere close to being discovered, perhaps even before it happened.

no. mifsud wasnt a CHS. He was on a much higher level than that in Western Intelligence.

Mifsud trained our FBI in counterterrorism for years. He and his friends are European Socialists. They were mortified at Trumps Brexit support and alarmed at his rhetoric. They know what radicalizes islamic youth, and Trump's terminology was viewed as dangerous.

All of the sources and sub sources just drive home the point that the affidavits before the FISA court to obtain warrants were all based on hearsay and double hearsay--and should never have been granted.

Shame on the judges who authorized these warrants based upon all this hearsay. It does not absolve the judges to say the FBI lied to them. The affidavits contained no direct evidence as they were entirely based upon the hearsay and double hearsay of sources and sub sources. Any competent, honest judge would have not granted the warrants based upon the fact that the evidence was entirely hearsay and double hearsay.

What a model swamp rat. Who uses the word purview in a public hearing? Can’t he speak plainly? So another word for purview is “scope” - now is going to Cyprus to investigate sources for the Steele dossier considered within the “scope” of special counsel?

Great Recap Techno. @RepMattGaetz are u listening, do u care?

Isn’t it Ironic that all Muellers charges were trivial bullshit false statements (and in Flynn case not even) just to the FBI; yet he gets up there and lies to congress and the entire friggin country he is supposed to be serving. Now why would he do that? This is where those defending the FBI will throw some bullshit out like “technically, if you KNOW how the special counsel works and investigations works...”.

They were investigating Trump on the basis of Steele and Igor and Dolan, leaking to media on the basis of Steele and Igor and Dolan, and then they turn around and said Steele and Igor and Dolan was outside their scope! You can’t make this shit up.

And I don’t buy the Biden brain crap. He’s just a coward and a snake. He knew all along about Steele. Mueller - A perfect embodiment of the entire class of leadership that has rotted our institutions from the inside for the last 25 years.

You might want to go back 60 year if you consider the following. President John F Kennedy threatened to "smash the CIA into 1,000 pieces" and George Bush Sr was most likely CIA from his college days. Some have concluded Bush Sr (CIA) was involved in the murder of Kennedy. If you study the Walsh Report on Iran/Contra, you'll learn the CIA was running drugs into Mena, Arkansas. That gives you a Bush/Clinton (Governor of Arkansas) connection. So when, toward the end of Bush Sr's first term as President, Casper Weinberger (and other) were going to go on trial over their Iran/Contra crimes, it would have blown the lid off of the Iran/Contra operation and, if Bush Sr had won a 2nd term, it's almost certain he would have been implicated and impeached. So, out of nowhere (and with the help of Ross Perot), William Jefferson Clinton, Bush Sr's partner in crime, becomes President of the USA and the Bush/Clinton Crime Family dominates, and corrupts, our government, right up to the present with the help of Obama and Biden. President Trump, threatening to expose it all, became about as popular as a hair in a biscuit and what we're seeing today is just a partial exposure of a coup d'état to stop President Trump and keep the criminals in power running the USA into the ground as they steal everything they can steal.

NOTE: William Barr was Bush Sr's Attorney General when Bush Sr. pardoned Weinberger and ended the Iran/Contra exposure and, like they're trying to do again today, hide it all from sight.

Also curious is 4 months before JFK was rubbed out a young Bill Clinton shook Kennedy's hand. Could that have been the first Clinton Death-grip?

Warren Stephens Arkansas billionaire is helped fund Bill Clinton and was tied to the Mena drug running. Jon Jacoby long time associate of Stephens is Mary Jacobys dad. Mary is Glen Simpsons wife. Don’t know what if any involvement in the whole Russiagate but hard to believe they wouldn’t have known about the research Fusion GPS was conducting. And, Stephens spent millions and millions against Trump for the GOP nomination. The whole Stephens family is very corrupt IMO.

Nice!

I believe that we are finally reaping the harvest from the seeds planted way back with JFK’s Presidency and assassination.

Although I am not someone who delves into astrology I do take heart from knowing that we have entered the Age of Aquarius, an age of transparency and truth. All that was hidden will be revealed. The Bush/Clinton crime family reign may have brought us to the brink but they have not taken us down. We are in a paradigm shift the likes of which we have never seen before.

Did anybody ever find it peculiar that Mueller's team also never found it worth their time to interrogate Julian Assange regarding the origin (Seth Rich?) of Podesta's emails? Seemed kinda relevant to me.

Expand full comment

This is precisely why the govt will keep Assange in perpetual legal limbo for the rest of his life -- he knows the source of the emails and you can bet it wasn't Russia. A reasonable argument can be made that the Georgia Tech crew analyzed the leak and concluded that it was an inside job. A Georgia FOIA request has already revealed the existence of a White Paper created by GT/Manos researchers for DARPA, despite DARPA claiming that it never hired GT to evaluate the hack/leak. There's someone in the Russiagate corner of Twitter (@foiafan, I think) who figured out that Georgia's FOIA statute allows a request for records to be filed against private individuals under some circumstances, and he has filed a case seeking production of records from the GT Manos group. Given the FBI's failure to meet the court-imposed deadline (last Friday) to produce Seth Rich records to Ty Clevanger, and DARPA having now been caught red-handed in a lie about working with GT to evaluate the source of the DNC breach, if these records ever see the light of day they are going to lead to some very difficult questions re Seth Rich.
