Trump gives AG Barr authority to declassify documents related to 2016 campaign surveillance President Trump on Thursday night issued a memo giving Attorney General William Barr the authority to declassify any documents related to surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016. Trump also ordered the intelligence community to cooperate with Barr. The memo read: "The heads of elements of the intelligence community... and the heads of each department or agency that includes an element of the intelligence community shall promptly provide such assistance and information as the Attorney General may request in connection with that review." "Today, at the request and recommendation of the Attorney General of the United States, President Donald J. Trump directed the intelligence community to quickly and fully cooperate with the Attorney General’s investigation into surveillance activities during the 2016 Presidential election," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. "The Attorney General has also been delegated full and complete authority to declassify information pertaining to this investigation, in accordance with the long-established standards for handling classified information. Today’s action will help ensure that all Americans learn the truth about the events that occurred, and the actions that were taken, during the last Presidential election and will restore confidence in our public institutions." BARR HAMMERED FOR STATING 'SPYING DID OCCUR,' DESPITE CONFIRMATION OF TRUMP TEAM SURVEILLANCE Trump claims his campaign was the victim of "spying," though the intelligence community has insisted it acted lawfully in following leads in the Russia investigation. Last month, Barr ran into a buzz saw of criticism from Democratic lawmakers and media figures for testifying that “spying did occur” against the Trump campaign in 2016. But despite the backlash, Barr appeared to be referring to intelligence collection that already has been widely reported and confirmed. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page are currently the subject of a Justice Department inspector general investigation looking at potential misconduct in the issuance of those warrants. That review also reportedly is scrutinizing the role of an FBI informant who had contacts with Trump advisers in the early stages of the Russia investigation. The use of the term "spying" as it applies to the FBI's surveillance in 2016 has been fiercely disputed. The New York Times, even as it reported last year on how the FBI sent an informant to speak to campaign advisers amid concerns about suspicious Russia contacts, stated that this was to "investigate" Russia ties and "not to spy." DEMS RAGE AGAINST BARR FOR BACKING CLAIMS OF TRUMP CAMPAIGN 'SPYING' BY FBI “I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was adequately predicated,” Barr testified last month, adding that he believed it is his “obligation” to review whether there was misconduct in the original investigation. “Congress is usually very concerned with intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies staying in their proper lane.” He added that “spying on a political campaign is a big deal.” President Trump backed the attorney general's testimony, saying the same day Barr testified last month that he thinks what Barr said "was absolutely true," adding, "There was absolutely spying into my campaign.” Democrats, though, charged that the testimony indicated Barr was a compromised witness. |

Teresa May just resigned. This is related to that if you haven't been following along. One of the biggest delays in declass was the fact that Australia, New Zealand, and mostly the UK were up to their eyeballs in this whole conspiracy. They used the FVEYES as a back door to get around domestic spying. They've been doing it long before the election. Oh, and only the Carter Page FISA has been even partially released. There are three others on Trump people (Manafort, Popadopolous, and Flynn) and there is at least one on the TED CRUZ campaign. Why is that important? Because it shows that these phony FISA's were just political motivated. With Trump they tried to dress it up as Muh Russia, but that was just the ex-post-facto pretext they came up with to justify the massive illegal spying they had been doing through FVEYES and the NSA About Queries used something like 4000 times without justification, going back at least to Nov. 2015. Admiral Rogers was the patriot the shut that down and made it public. It was because of this getting shut down in April of 2016 that the DNC/FBI/CIA panicked and decided to use Christopher Steele which resulted in the dirty dossier (all bullshit) which resulted in the four Trump FISA requests. Two initial FISA requests were turned down in the summer of 2016, and it was only when they started including the stuff in the Steele dossier that they finally got them.
It's a big mess but one that fortunately a whole lot is already known. It's just that when you told people about it they'd say you were a crazy conspiracy nut. For instance, I happen to be quite sure that there was no hack of the DNC server in May of 2016. And that server was never looked at by the FBI but they just took CrowdStrike's word for it that it was "hacked by Russia". Bullshit. Bill Binney, ex-head of the NSA's cyber division, did a quick analysis and found that the data transfer speeds of the DNC data only made sense if the "hack" was actually a download onto a USB thumb drive. Mueller never once looked into this, instead spending pages justifying why Seth Rich wasn't the source of the leak by a bunch of waiving hand stuff. Nah bro, Seth was the leaker and he was killed for his troubles. And the Podesta emails were the result of a simple phishing operation that millions of grandparents fall for every year. So anyway, get that popcorn poppin'! |

Consider these "coincidences" that have happened all in the last week or so:
Australia elects a nationalist Trump-supporting PM who promises to clean house. Ukraine has started firing people in their government, specifically to those involved with sending money to Hunter Biden and other Obama/Clinton related people. Italy has fired numerous members of its intelligence services, including those who hid the fact that Joseph Milsud was hiding out literally next door to the American Embassy. Teresa May resigns. Trump orders declass. |

As usual, will be interesting to see if anything at all comes from this.
I certainly hope so. Scott
