Exposing The Man Behind The Curtain
The pattern has been exposed. There are white hats in the entrenched government apparatus that have been making symmetrical ‘leaks’ of truth to counteract the ‘leaks’ of lies that have been fast and furious for many years, going well back into the Obama administration. Following the tsunami mid-term election losses in 2010, Lois Lerner and others in the federal government apparatus were weaponized. Cabinet officials had fake bogus identities and email accounts to coordinate the propaganda. They have also been caught spying on members of the press – James Rosen, Sheryl Attkinson and who knows how many others on the 0bama enemies list.
Back in the day, there was a so-called military/industrial complex to be fearful of. That was debatable. Today, there is an embedded liberal federal government/media complex that is to be feared and confronted. It is not debatable. The so-called ‘Fourth Estate’ has been exposed to be nothing more than the mouthpiece of the DNC. There is your real “collusion”. Leni Reifenstahl, meet Zoe Barnes. Sad.
Thanks to the white hat leaks, we have received incontrovertible evidence that top officials of the CIA, NSA, FBI, DNI, etc. have their own direct media contacts (and get hired by these same media outlets following departure from the cushy colluding government positions). That these regular brazen contacts and relationships include perks and payoffs. They have been caught red-handed at this by the Inspector General. Yet all we get are yawns. SRSLY?!
It is a plot straight out of House of Cards. The DNC invents the story and their media slaves dutifully print it out exactly as planted. They are manipulating the news in complete collusion. The same words, phrases, and talking points. This is not speculation. This is an obvious truth.
Here’s the latest. The Weissman report* landed with a thud. This Dud’s for you. Liberal media was apoplectic. A new story must be invented. So, they go to their ‘bible’ and consult the little Red book. Of course, go to rule 13. And the target is the new Attorney General. Here’s the story …
Horse hockey. Former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova pulls back the curtain …
An abusive, outrageous, vindictive, unethical, unprofessional letter by Weissman …
The truth will set us free. Heads need to roll. Justice needs to be served.

It is rather Orwellian/scary that if the MSM/(D) complex dig in on a narrative it is astonishing how they are able to maintain said narrative even in the face of facts clearly proving the narrative to be, not just inaccurate, but provide overwhelming evidence the entire narrative was a fabrication designed to frame United States citizens of crimes they did not commit.
From your post to G*ds ears.
I don’t know what to make of DiGenova & Teonsing. I love what they say and their fighting spirit, I just question how ‘plugged in’ they truly are. Seems like their predictions seldom come to pass.
I’d love to be wrong on this though. These people need to be taken down.
The Face of the Deep State …
@user_54742 and @columbo I think the only thing one has to remember is that this crew DOES NOT CARE about facts, circumstances or what others think about their actions. (Think back to Obama’s flagrant flinging of words at will – but to the same purpose.) They respond to changes in their battlefield by throwing more ammunition from their infinite store of poisonous stuff. The stuff changes, but the poison is consistent. Their goal (in this case) is to destroy Barr’s case. The principle goal is power. And they never ever surrender the field. We cannot be surprised any more. Barr’s behaviour serves as an excellent example of stipulating to reality – out loud and without reserve. It has to be done. I also submit that Barr has to be protected at all costs.
I noticed that about Joe too.
I love him and agree 100% with his take on all this, but I do not share his confidence that those responsible for this historical debacle will be held accountable.
Columbo,
So let’s review. First, a scenario that is absurd on its face that the Russians could have actually changed the results of 2016 given if their entire effort had been against Hillary (which it was not) given if their efforts could be considered highly effective (which they were not). The totality of the effort was an eyedropper in the ocean of the internet. Second, the premise of the origination of the investigation was a falsified dossier that resulted in an illegitimate FISA warrant. Even with this obscenity glaring Mueller in the face he went ahead and spent two years of the nations time on this garbage only to find no justification for any indictment, the only job that his investigation had.
For this entire period, the Democrats screamed that poor Mueller was untouchable no matter how many of his subordinates were found to be grossly biased or how false was the basis of the entire investigation. Now that the investigation has been completed and a new highly experienced/qualified AG is in place, a new whine comes from the Democrats based on nothing but a vague unprofessional bit of phrasing left in Mueller’s report.
The President doesn’t need to be impeached nor does the AG need to be impeached. Maxine Waters needs to be put in a straight jacket.
Regards,
Jim

A good synopsis in a nutshell of the essence of the monumental problem we now face as a nation, which as you allude to that appears to have two parts:
Andrew McCarthy: Mueller’s letter to Barr – A neat trick … by the Wapo before Senate hearing …
This reeks of a bad plot from House of Cards … Frank planting a story with Zoe.
My husband and I talked about this the other night: I said that as a result of my academic work (long ago and I don’t practice without a license…) I knew and believe that the 1930’s and ’40’s German population – and later descendants – certainly knew what the National Socialists were doing, both on a civil level and criminally against the Jewish and other “disreputable” populations, and went on with their days. That was academic knowledge. I never ever ever thought it possible that I would live in a political and social environment where such civic and social corruption would be systemic in my country. I do – and, as you say @unsk2, there are whole swaths of the population with hands over their ears and eyes – hearing and seeing no evil. I think it’s beyond difficult for the average individual to acknowledge such things, much less respond when someone speaking with authority – repeatedly, over time and from innumerable sources – posits things that are repugnant, obvious falsehoods or otherwise socially malevolent. Most people don’t want to take the risk that someone won’t like them or a family argue with them and they won’t know what to say or something, much less that they will have livelihoods or worse threatened. They hunker down and go about their days. So – I’ll work a little harder on our (small) town’s Republican committee for 2020. I’m not registered that way, but Seacoast NH lost some R seats in the State House in 2018 and the implications are getting uglier by the day: for example, a new D Rep argued in a Legislature speech that the proposed tax on wages isn’t a tax on income for purposes of the State Constitution. (It’s not really about the tax, it’s about the right to ignore the Constitution.) So I’ll go about my day differently for the next 18 months.
Don’t look now, but this story is getting more traction. And not only in the so-called “ultra-conservative” inner webs … from The Hill … Nellie Ohr’s ‘Hi Honey’ emails to DOJ about Russian collusion should alarm us all …
A real life DC ‘Power Couple’ thinking themselves as mimicking Frank and Claire …
@columbo. I’m beginning to think I should have watched this series (I don’t even recognize the names) but there are no new stories. Or feuds. Or intrigues and connivances. Just ask VDHanson.
I’ve said this before but I will bet – a lot- that there were similar “projects” on the other main GOP contenders. There were low caliber shots across the bows early on for Cruz and Rubio and I KNOW that Mr Nice Guy Works with the Other Guys Romney would not have been spared. The Clintons take the long view and had plenty of money to spread around. Especially since so much of it was taxpayer money. They were just ready to go when Trump ran the table.
I never watched it in real time. I heard about it from multiple sources who discussed its real portrayals of actual people behind the scenes. Like it was a very accurate depiction of the people, the lying viciousness and intrigue. Somewhat recently, I binge-watched Season 1. I made myself finish it to see the ‘ending’ (which wasn’t an end of course, just Season 1) and I vowed never to watch any of the rest of it. I felt pulled and drug into their muck and corruption. ‘Be careful little eyes, what you see ….’ and all.
Think back to the first Romney vs. 0bama debate. Romney cleaned his clock.
Debate #2 was a total 180. Who knows what clandestine tools were used to spy on Romney’s debate prep.
And we all know that Candy colluded with her heartthrob ….
D.C. whispers ……………
Candy seems to have disappeared … she seemed to do just fine in her CNN role as a typical Lefty journo/commentator, but a bit miscast given she had a face truly meant for radio(or podcast?).
The big, big mistake in the entire investigation was making it about one political party rather than about Russian involvement in all political parties and social media.
Are you kidding? There would not be any investigation unless Trump was elected President. And no Mueller investigation if the Republicans didn’t have political power in Congress. The MSM only cover topics that make Republicans look bad.
Or rather, making it about one political party was the purpose of their actions—pursuant to their string of setups before and after the election.
A week, or so, after having recommended to Trump the termination of Comey, the same person opened the can of worms for Mueller to feed to the media all the way through the midterm elections.
Agents of the same domestic agency that spun a web of foreign contacts to concoct a pretext for intelligence surveillance on Americans prior to the election are quick to trick Flynn with their “off the record” entrapment a week, or so, after Trump takes office (as Comey admitted : they took advantage of the confusion inherent in any POTUS transition).
Then, the innuendo contained in the report sets up what the Ds are using now to deflect attention from their swamp enforcement acolytes’ culpability in political domestic spying.

Watch the linked video above. This was at the Republican National Convention on July 18, 2016. Tell me that Hillary Clinton (with Barack’s full support) did not order the DOJ/FBI/CIA/DNI…. to take down General Michael Flynn after this performance. And voila … let’s hope that this General has his own Montezuma’s revenge in the near future ….
