FISA Abuse, Four Coincidences & Questions About the DNC Server

July 17, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

I won’t say it started here.

That’s far too simplistic and much had already been done.

But this July 20, 2015 Memorandum on behalf of Sally Yates set the stage for much of what was to come.Continue Reading

John Brennan’s Role

July 16, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Ultimately, I believe there are two fundamental stories that unveil the entirety of what’s transpired in Washington:

  1. John Brennan’s dual role – using unofficial intelligence to establish the FBI’s Trump-Russia Counterintelligence Investigation & using the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) to push the Trump-Russia Narrative.
  2. FISA Abuse committed by the DOJ’s National Security Division and the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division.

Media Tweets, the “Kavanaugh Pick” & Layering

July 10, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

The Left have worked themselves into a lather over President’ Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh as the next Supreme Court Justice.

In fairness, it wasn’t really about Kavanaugh:Continue Reading

The Full Significance of Rosenstein’s Statement

July 1, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

In response to my Rosenstein article, I received a simple question from someone I respect:

Why did you focus on “media reports” regarding the FISA application?

This was in reference to the questioning of Rosenstein by Matt Gaetz:Continue Reading

Devin Nunes – A Look of Shock

May 24, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

As the first of two historic meetings begin today, I thought it worthwhile to revisit the most public revealing of this sordid affair.

On March 22, 2017, after learning of Trump Transition surveillance, Devin Nunes gave an impromptu press conference followed by a more formal press conference  (transcripts here).

Like many, I will not soon forget the look of pure shock on Nunes’ face.Continue Reading

Victor Pinchuk, the Clintons & Endless Connections

March 11, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

I wrote on the role of Alexandra Chalupa – a Ukrainian-American DNC operative – who appears at the center of the DNC’s construction of information used in the Steele Dossier.

The role of former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland in disseminating the Dossier – along with her involvement in shaping Ukraine – was also discussed.

The name Victor Pinchuk was mentioned.Continue Reading

Hard Truths – Gun Control, Leftists & Some Facts

February 22, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

As a result of the shooting deaths at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the debate over gun control has been reignited.

In near-hysterical fashion.

But first, some facts.Continue Reading

Where is Adam Schiff & the Democrat Memo

February 16, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Anyone recall the Democrat’s House Intelligence Committee Memo – the one that was going to destroy the validity of the Nunes Memo.

House Democrats, led by Adam Schiff, were in such a hurry they wanted to bypass House protocol – applied to the Nunes Memo – and simply release their Memo at the same time.Continue Reading

Newt Gingrich Explains the “Schumer Shutdown” & the Factional Democrats

January 24, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Newt Gingrich explains the magnitude of the Democrats’ loss from the “Schumer Shutdown” in his weekly newsletter.

More importantly, Newt explains the tightrope Schumer will be forced to walk in the Senate, natural opposition he will likely face from House Dems and the increasingly factional nature of the Democratic Party:Continue Reading

An Article Compilation

January 17, 2018 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

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
