45 Said Again Russia Hoax Today
We recently saw the alphabetic character from DNI John Ratcliffe to Lindsey Graham in which Ratcliffe described handwritten notes of John Brennan. Those notes memorialized Brennan meeting personally with Obama, Susan Rice, James Clapper, and Denis McDonough and informing them that it appeared that "the Russians" were enlightened that Hillary Clinton was ginning up a Russian federation Hoax performance confronting Donald Trump to distract attention from her email scandal. Today the original notes were released, along with a CIA memo to disgraced former FBI Manager James Comey--with attention to Peter Strzok. The CIA memo documents the CIA'south referral of the matter described in Brennan's notes to the FBI--something that Comey denied all knowledge of in his contempo testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Here are Brennan'southward notes, which are partially redacted. Note that one of the redactions appears to provide the identities of persons--presumably Russians?--involved in a discussion of Hillary'south plans to smear Trump:
Here's a transcript of the notes, provided by Sean Davis at The Federalist (DNI Declassifies Handwritten Notes From John Brennan, 2016 CIA Referral On Clinton Entrada's Bunco Operation):
"We're getting additional insight into Russian activites from [REDACTED]. Cite declared approving past Hillary Clinton–on 26 July–of a proposal from ane of her foreign policy advisers to villify [sic] Donald Trump past stirring upward a scandal claiming interference past the Russian security services."
Ii things:
First, Brennan refers to "stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services." The tone of that passage clearly suggests that the redacted persons--and Brennan--understood that the "stirred upward scandal" is a hoax. Note, likewise, that the purpose of "stirring up a scandal" isn't to make the truth known to the American people but rather to "vilify Donald Trump." Again, the clear implication is that this is a hoax--a political dirty fob.
2d, Paul Sperry says this about the unnamed "foreign policy adviser" to Hillary:
DEVELOPING: The "strange policy adviser" who allegedly proposed "vilify[ing] Donald Trump by stirring upward a scandal challenge interference by Russian security services" was Jake Sullivan, now a pinnacle Biden adjutant. Hillary OK'd his proposal on July 26, 2016--days before FBI opened probe
Now here's the CIA referral memo to the FBI:
Formal CIA Referral To FBI ... by The Federalist
The memo purports to present positive results of the "Fusion Cell" studying Russian interference in the ballot--the "Fusion Cell" being an interagency chore force, basically the FBI and CIA. Strzok, of course, would have been part of that "Fusion Jail cell." While the memo to Comey is in more bureaucratic language than Brennan's notes, it in one case once more presents Hillary's scheme every bit designed, not to inform the American people, but to distract the American people from her own criminal activity (operating her private electronic mail server for official government business concern). Tantalizingly, the entire sub-paragraph (b) is redacted.
The release of these documents is a nuclear strike on the entire Russian federation Hoax--the Deep Land directors of the Intel Community agencies (FBI, CIA, DNI), the Congressional and Senatorial enablers, and perhaps in a higher place all, the MSM.
And ane presumes in that location will be more revelations coming.
UPDATE 1: Brooke Singman at Fox has a very thorough business relationship. She believes that the JC in the notes is not James Clapper but James Comey. I prefer Clapper. If it were Comey you'd look the memo to contain some reference to a previous give-and-take at which Comey was present.
Singman likewise quotes a source who makes the very pertinent observation that the information that Brennan was briefing Obama on was clearly NOT "Russian disinformation":
"This is non Russian disinformation. Even Brennan knew, or he wouldn't be briefing the president of the United States on it," the source said. "At that place is a high threshold to orally brief the president of the United states of america and he clearly felt this met that threshold."
It'south refreshing to get beyond the Russian disinformation narrative. We're talking Prog disinformation.
Also, Brennan's merits to be gaining insight into "Russian activities" is rather ironic:
"We're getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED],"
Might the source of the supposed insight--[REDACTED]--by the United kingdom's GCHQ, whose head, Robert Hannigan, who visited Brennan personally in Washington:
Instead both US and U.k. intelligence sources acknowledge that GCHQ played an early on, prominent role in kickstarting the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation, which began in late July 2016.
...
According to i account, GCHQ's then head, Robert Hannigan, passed material in summertime 2016 to the CIA main, John Brennan. The matter was deemed so sensitive it was handled at "director level". Afterwards an initially dull start, Brennan used GCHQ information and intelligence from other partners to launch a major inter-agency investigation.
The reference here appears to be to the startup of the "Fusion Cell", but it would make sense to suppose that Hannigan connected to feed fabric to Brennan.
The irony, however, is that the insight seems not to be into Russian activity at all. Rather, the insight is into HILLARY'south activeness.
Next fence could be very interesting.
UPDATE 2: I just noticed this at SCRIBD. The CIA memo was uploaded to SCRIBD by The Federalist. The full clarification reads:
On September seven, 2016, the CIA formerly requested that the FBI investigate ongoing Russian knowledge of the Clinton campaign'south programme to charge Trump of Russian collusion to distract from Clinton's individual e-mail scandal.
Now, you will scan that document--Formal CIA Referral To FBI To Investigate Clinton Campaign--in vain looking for a date on the CIA memo. That's because it'southward been redacted. Someone slipped up here. The clue to the fact that this memo was written after the Crossfire Hurricane opening (July 31, 2016) is that "Crossfire Hurricane" is in the "Discipline" line. So I take it that this memo was written well-nigh a calendar month later the Oval Function briefing.
Doubly odd is that the CIA is requesting that the FBI investigate how the Russians found out most Hillary'due south shenanigans. I guess that's fine, just shouldn't the FBI have been directed past Obama to brief Hillary personally that he was on to what she was doing and that she had improve knock it off because she was screwing around with sensitive national security matters? Am I the only i who finds it outrageous that Obama went along with Hillary'due south hoax? Regardless of the possible harm to relations with a significant nuclear ability?
Nosotros really are deep into banana republic territory here. And the fourth estate--the MSM--could intendance less about our constitutional order or the danger that the Deep State represents to that social club and to our freedoms as Americans.
Am I sounding a fleck corny? But this is where nosotros are. And the guy who planned this for Hillary is now a honcho adviser to Biden--whether Biden knows it or not.
