Some Updates & the Participants

by

I’ve been working on another more lengthy post, but decided it worthy to pause for a quick update as much is transpiring.

The Daily Caller is reporting that Devin Nunes has received all Department of Justice and FBI documents it possesses on the Trump Dossier. I’ve not yet seen secondary confirmation.

The committee was able to review Friday all FBI and DOJ documents on the Trump dossier, former MI-6 British agent Christopher Steele who authored the dossier, and Fusion GPS, the political opposition firm that hired Steele. DOJ also provided any Obama administration applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court based on the dossier, which could approve the surveillance of the Trump transition team or Trump associates, according to a source with direct knowledge of the case.Continue Reading

The Strategic Delay of Section 2.3 of Executive Order 12333

by

On January 3, 2017, Section 2.3 of Executive Order 12333 – Procedures for the Availability or Dissemination of Raw Signals Intelligence Information by the NSA – was signed into effect.

Agencies and individuals can now ask the NSA for access to specific surveillance simply by claiming the intercepts contain relevant information that is useful to a particular mission. No privacy protection of the raw data occurs.

Under the new rules, sharing of information has been made significantly easier – and the information shared is raw and unfiltered.

Like many, I wondered at the timing of the order. What I found particularly curious was that it was so overdue.Continue Reading

Surreal Revelations from the Mueller Investigation

by

The revelations keep on coming.

On December 4, 2017, in The Inspector General’s Quiet Investigation, I discussed how the uncovering of demoted FBI Agent Peter Strzok’s activities was tied to a little noticed – but crucial – investigation by Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General.

The details surrounding Strzok were not only alarming – they verged on the unbelievable. That one man could be involved in so many utterly crucial aspects of events over the past 18 months seemed difficult to accept.

Almost as if there was a concerted effort to blame everything surrounding Clinton, Team Obama and the Russian Investigation onto one man…Continue Reading

An Interesting Interview with Rod Rosenstein – Revisited

by

Note: In light of Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein’s upcoming House Judiciary testimony on December 13, 2017, I thought it worthwhile to re-visit a post from August 2017 regarding an interview Rosenstein gave to Chris Wallace.

I hope you find his interview as interesting as I did.

The FBI recently created a new counter-intelligence unit to specifically target leakers. As noted by Attorney General Jeff Sessions on August 4, 2017:

I directed my Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray to oversee all classified leak investigations and actively monitor the progress of each and every case.Continue Reading
