Hacking indictment suspiciously tells only one half of Moscow meddling story

Putin hacking the Republican Campaign doesn't fit the narrative. So Mueller and Rosenstein censored that evidence in their latest Russian indictment, and in the recent Nunes report on Russian interference in the election

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

BREAKING: In June 2016, US intelligence--including NSA, FBI & CIA--knew that the computer networks of BOTH presidential candidates--Hillary Clinton AND Donald Trump (as well as GOP PACs)-were targeted by Russian spies. Yet now that information is being COVERED UP by DOJ & Mueller

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

BREAKING: The CrowdStrike analyst who ran the forensics on DNC servers worked for Mueller at FBI and in fact was personally promoted by Mueller

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

First the FBI & DOJ relied on a Clinton contractor (CrowdStrike) to provide research to blame Russia for hacking Clinton, then they relied on another Clinton contractor (Fusion GPS) to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign to frame it for colluding w Russia. Notice a pattern?

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

The FBI & DOJ agreed to not issue warrants to the DNC or Clinton campaign to search computer devices in the Russia hacking probe, just like they agreed to not issue warrants to Clinton and her aides to search their devices in the email espionage probe.

Notice a pattern?

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

It's now clear from the DNC hiring a Democrat contractor with an anti-Russia agenda to do the forensics, while stiff-arming objective FBI computer analysts, that political factors crowded out a scientific examination of the evidence. Ergo, Mueller's evidence is not court worthy

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

BREAKING: The FBI (and Mueller's team) obtained only the "forensic" images of the allegedly hacked DNC systems from CrowdStrike, which is not the same as workable mirror images of the hard drives. (And again, no actual machines were examined at the FBI forensics lab at Quantico.)

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

DOJ, which is working with Mueller probe, compelled congressional committees investigating Russian election interference to redact info about Russian intrusions @ RNC & other GOP targets from their reports, claiming it is classified at the highest levels. https://t.co/WElV39RUb7

Q: When did the DNC provide access for the FBI for your technical folks to review what happened?

COMEY: Well we never got direct access to the machines themselves. The DNC hired a firm [CrowdStrike] that ultimately shared with us their forensics from their review of the system.

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

Q: You have still never been given access to any of the machines hacked by the Russians?

COMEY: That's correct, altho we got forensics from the pros they hired which--best practice is always to get access to the machines themselves--my folks tell me was an appropriate substitute

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

Dems now claiming Mueller/FBI didn't need direct access to DNC/DCCC servers & computers b/c he had "images" from CrowdStrike. Really?See IG report, which makes clear how critical it was for FBI to physically acquire devices & servers in Hillary email case.But not in Russia case?!

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

Recall in Oct 2016, Comey's FBI also leaked to Apuzzo @ NYT that Manafort under "FBI investigation." Wasn't just Carter Page they were leaking on, was also Manafort. And it was NYT story on Ukraine dealings that forced Manafort's exit in Aug. One of NYT's sources? Glenn Simpson

Mueller indictment fails to support Brennan's ICA in 2 key ways:

1) ICA claims both GRU & FSB behind cyberattacks, whereas Mueller only names GRU

2) ICA claims motive for Russian attack was to "help Trump win," whereas Mueller says objective was simply to interfere in election.

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

Without the DNC and DCCC servers -- or "the 10 DCCC computers and 33 DNC computers" the GRU allegedly gained access to--Mueller is not able to present physical evidence in court to prove a crime even occurred. Where is the underlying evidence? His indictment is a political farce

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 18, 2018

Never forget, John Brennan is the puppet master of #SpyGate. Christopher Steele, Stef Halper, Nellie Ohr, Peter Strzok, as well as Mueller's Russian hacking & trolling indictments, all tie back to him. He's also the one who fed "collusion" dirt to Dem minority on intel committees

... the problems we are confronting reflect deeper dangers than the professional corruption of some functionaries of corrupt executive agencies armed with the coercive power of the state. The true moral of the story is the dangers to freedom of centralized and concentrated power––the very dangers consensual governments, including our own, were created to minimize.

The issue of political bias, which the IG report scanted, has to be understood in the larger nature of the large-scale bureaucratic public institutions that comprise the Deep State. In other words, the structure and functioning of the institution itself creates a bias that selects progressive employees. The bias insidiously becomes a second nature of which they often are no more conscious than a fish is that it’s wet....

MASSIVE: John McCain ordered Obama IRS to "Financially Ruin" the Tea Party https://t.co/RnB9jcH5I0

— Jack Posobiec🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) June 22, 2018

Judicial Watch today released newly obtained internal IRS documents, including material revealing that Sen. John McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner, to "audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous." Kerner was appointed by President Trump as Special Counsel for the United States Office of Special Counsel.
The explosive exchange was contained in notes taken by IRS employees at an April 30, 2013, meeting between Kerner, Lerner, and other high-ranking IRS officials. Just ten days following the meeting, former IRS director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS had a policy of improperly and deliberately delaying applications for tax-exempt status from conservative non-profit groups.

Lerner and other IRS officials met with select top staffers from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a "marathon" meeting to discuss concerns raised by both Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that the IRS was not reining in political advocacy groups in response to the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. Senator McCain had been the chief sponsor of the McCain-Feingold Act and called the Citizens United decision, which overturned portions of the Act, one of the "worst decisions I have ever seen."

In the full notes of an April 30 meeting, McCain’s high-ranking staffer Kerner recommends harassing non-profit groups until they are unable to continue operating. Kerner tells Lerner, Steve Miller, then chief of staff to IRS commissioner, Nikole Flax, and other IRS officials, "Maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous." In response, Lerner responded that "it is her job to oversee it all:"

...If the IG report on the Clinton email scandal is any guide to these upcoming investigations, expect widespread abuse of the English language to warp reality.

The media is using the antiseptic “informant” in place of the cruder but more accurate “spy” or “mole.”

The off-putting but accurate “wiretapping” has become the more professional “surveillance.”

The sanitized “improper” always sounds cleaner than the more accurate “illegal.”

In sum, 2016 could make a logical sequel to 1984.

Could Hillary Clinton still face charges over her emails? https://t.co/2SpnRv9GUC pic.twitter.com/ptDz9Wq7mh

— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) June 14, 2018

...prosecutors favor the more severe 18 U.S. Code § 793, which is part of the notoriously tough Espionage Act. The law restricts possession or retention of information “relating to the national defense" and carries a possible 10 years in prison, with a 10-year statute of limitations....

Because of the passage of time, it’s possible Clinton cannot be charged under the gentler statute. She left office in February 2013, and the law’s specific wording covers when someone "knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain" them — written in such a way that the clock may begin when removal happens.

“I think that under this statute, the proscription is on the removal and it would run from removal,” prominent defense attorney Barry Pollack told the Washington Examiner.

But under the harsher law, the 10-year countdown arguably started in late March 2015, when tech aide Paul Combetta had what he told the FBI was an “oh shit” moment and deleted stored emails using the software BleachBit, after forgetting to do so months earlier.

Under the tougher law, "I would think its statute [of limitations] would not start to run as long as the person has the documents,” Pollack said. “It has a ten-year limitations period, not five.”...

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to “subpoena” emails, phone records and other documents from lawmakers and staff on a Republican-led House committee during a tense meeting earlier this year, according to emails reviewed by Fox News documenting the encounter and reflecting what aides described as a "personal attack."

The emails memorialized a January 2018 closed-door meeting involving senior FBI and Justice Department officials as well as members of the House Intelligence Committee. The account claimed Rosenstein threatened to turn the tables on the committee's inquiries regarding the Russia probe.

“The DAG [Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein] criticized the Committee for sending our requests in writing and was further critical of the Committee’s request to have DOJ/FBI do the same when responding,” the committee's then-senior counsel for counterterrorism Kash Patel wrote to the House Office of General Counsel. “Going so far as to say that if the Committee likes being litigators, then ‘we [DOJ] too [are] litigators, and we will subpoena your records and your emails,’ referring to HPSCI [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence] and Congress overall.”...

They didn't want to just catch ONE leaker or TWO. They took their time, you see.

They went slow.

They watched these people.

They took very careful notes.

For almost a year.

They know who the leak brokers are, which reporters they use, which comms shops handed out $.

Just last November, Jeff Sessions said there were TWENTY SEVEN ACTIVE LEAK INVESTIGATIONS ongoing at the FBI.

Do you think Jeff Sessions just blows smoke? https://t.co/3WIJeLzEhw

— STEALTH JEFF (@drawandstrike) June 9, 2018

That's exactly what these leak brokers are: rogue political operatives with security clearances.

Well they better watch their backs.

There are serious, well trained counter intelligence agents looking for them. These are not people I would want looking for me.

Thanks to @themarketswork for tracking down the announcement of the creation of a new FBI counter intelligence unit specifically for hunting leakers of classified information: https://t.co/JR1BZjTDDR

Here's the video and transcript of Attorney General Jeff Sessions announcing the formation of this new FBI Leak Hunting unit: https://t.co/JcI82Wtlbphttps://t.co/RvOlKjat8V pic.twitter.com/C4EVU5dzmS

This is a FBI *counterintelligence* unit, people. They didn't pull the agents who comprise this new leak hunting unity out of the FBI mail room or the HR department.

These are the spy catchers. The best.

I was saying - and the record will reflect this - that when Brian Ross announced his big scoop of Trump ordering Gen. Flynn to speak secretly to the Russians BEFORE the election, that was a canary trap put out by leak hunters.

Those multiple sources - 3 sources, according to some reports - all SAW the same document.

But the document had the WRONG DATE on it. It said Dec 4, not Dec 14, which was when the real email was sent to Don Jr.

— STEALTH JEFF (@drawandstrike) June 10, 2018

DNC Media then just shrugged, said "Ah well, somehow our multiple sources looked at the date on the email and all three of them got it wrong. Sorry!"

Well no.

They didn't get the date wrong. They fake document they were shown DID INDEED SAY the email was sent on Dec. 4th.

What do you supposed the leak hunters were doing while they were holding James A. Wolfe in their thrall for the past six months, hmmmmm? 🤔

— STEALTH JEFF (@drawandstrike) June 10, 2018

THAT is why Wolfe is only charged with 3 counts of perjury. The actual leaking of the classified info that the did carries FAR stiffer penalties than lying to the FBI.

All over DC & DNC Media people have been shitting bricks for the past 48 hours.

If you think this week was fun, wait until you see what unfolds next week.

The North Korea summit in Singapore is starting on Tuesday, Horowitz's report on the Clinton Email fiasco drops on Thursday.

And there'll be more leak news by next Saturday. I'm sure of it.

Andrew McCabe should receive the same immunity that be gave to General Flynn. Rot in jail, my friend.
