Re-post, still no update - Three weeks after Trump declassified Russia memos, most aren't released |
2021-02-10 |
![]() Multiple officials tell Just the News that the documents yet to be released include: Just the News was able to obtain about 15% of the thousands of pages of declassified documents, from a hodgepodge network of White House officials who worked on the declassification, law enforcement and intelligence officials who got their own versions of the declassified documents, and members of Congress who were given copies of some memos in the final days of the Trump presidency. Just the News has posted all of those documents, which include explosive revelations like: The remaining documents, according to sources who have seen them, provide more details showing just how far the FBI went to deceive the FISA judges in an effort to keep surveilling Page and that the FBI's true target for surveillance was the larger Trump campaign. For instance, an August 2016 tasking document for Halper, one of the informants, made clear the FBI's real focus of the investigation was to determine whether "anyone in the Trump campaign is in a position to have received information either directly or indirectly from the Russian Federation regarding the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton," according to a source who took verbatim notes from one of the documents. Those documents also show Halper was asked to potentially contact or monitor Trump campaign figures far beyond Page and George Papadopoulos, the two figures publicly acknowledged in the past. Among the names that show up in the FBI's operational plan are former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn, former Trump campaign adviser Sam Clovis and eventual White House adviser Peter Navarro, according to sources interviewed by Just the News. The less redacted FISA warrants show, according to sources, that as the FBI failed to develop any evidence that Page was working for Russia — and in fact had worked as an asset for the CIA — it offered the FISA court unusual justifications for continuing to spy on him, including that he espoused foreign policy views deemed favorable to Russia and might be writing a book, two clearly First Amendment-protected activities. Also, the internal messages between senior FBI officials on the Russia probe, according to the sources, reveal that McCabe had direct contact with reporters from major news organizations like the New York Times and CNN even as his deputies, like Strzok, viewed the Russia reporting of those organizations as significantly flawed.

#3 Biden puts the kibosh on US energy production which will result in rising oil prices which will be a direct benefit to Putin. Then he extends the nuclear arms treaty with Russia, no questions asked. He may not be colluding with Russia but Putin could not ask for a bigger, dumber chump. |

#1 Doesn't matter and never did. None of this would ever be reported on and if it was it would be labeled misinformation. Russia collusion is an article of faith with the left and no amount proof to the contrary is going to change that. The Republic died on 20-Jan-2021 with the unconstitutional appointment of a potted plant and a whore these "secrets" are safe forever. |
