Yesterday it was reported that the FBI failed to preserve five months of text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
While this may be true, the Inspector General should already have these texts.Continue Reading
Simple Questions
A fellow researcher, @ar68599812 – recently posed the following (paraphrased) question:
Why did the FBI use outside contractors in the first place when the FBI already had direct access to the raw FISA information. Why risk the use of outside contractors who would likely draw unwanted attention – especially when the Dossier wasn’t even being constructed at this point.
In reality, the Dossier may not even have been considered at this point.Continue Reading

A Classified Explosion in the House
A review by House Members of a classified document is bringing things to a head in real time.
After reviewing information from the House Intelligence Committee, including a classified memo that required the use of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), several House Members released what can only be described as troubling statements.Continue Reading
An Article Compilation
This post is the result of requests I’ve received from readers to compile articles by category along with a description of each article.
This should prove helpful to those wanting to look into the unfolding FBI/DOJ/Obama Administration scandal surrounding illegal surveillance and collusion.Continue Reading
The Uncovering – Section 702 “About” Queries, Independent Contractors & a New Narrative
As I’ve been traveling for a few days, today will serve as an overview of sorts.
Before we move forward, theconservativetreehouse provides us with a good overview of FISA-702 (16)(17):
- FISA – Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
- 702 – An American caught up in the process of Foreign Surveillance
- (16) – A search query based on “TO” and/or “FROM”
- (17) – A search query based on “ABOUT”
FISA searches can be conducted on any foreign person without issue. All non-U.S. citizens on the entire planet can be searched 24/7/365 no issues. FISA searches on foreign people have no restrictions at all.
However, when the FISA search returns data identifying a U.S. citizen, everything changes. Those changes are under the identifying term “702”. A “702” is an American person.Continue Reading
An American Hero & the Death of a FISA Narrative
Admiral Mike Rogers announced his retirement on January 5, 2018, thus bringing an end to a nearly four-year tenure as head of the NSA.
Which is somewhat remarkable given the Obama Administration tried to fire him well over a year ago.
In late 2016, the Washington Post reported what I thought an unusual story – though I lacked the information to grasp the full import at the time:Continue Reading
Some Updates & the Participants
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
A Strategic Tightening – The DOJ’s Rewarding Reply to Nunes & a Letter from Grassley
On December 28, 2017, House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes sent a blistering letter to Deputy AG Rosenstein with a deadline response of January 3, 2018.
In the evening of January 3, 2018, Nunes received a reply.
Nunes wants answers to the origin of the FBI investigation that ultimately led to the National Security Division of the DOJ assembling a FISA request to engage in surveillance of the Trump Campaign.
The FBI Counterintelligence Division began an official investigation into the Trump Campaign in mid-to-late July 2016.Continue Reading
18 Questions from Jim Jordan
Representative Jim Jordan has been one of the few in Congress willing to ask tough questions that many of us want answers to.
He has done so during Congressional Committee Sessions – requiring the questions and answers to become part of Congressional record.
Now he is asking those same questions in a more public forum.Continue Reading
