Russiagate in a nutshell
@drawandstrike is Brian Cates. Brian Cates is a writer for The Epoch Times.
RussiaGate Was 100% Fake SpyGate Is 100% Real
@drawandstrike
Because Democrats and DNC Media won't tell you the truth about it, here's what actually happened the last 4 years.
1) The SpyGate plotters started spying on Donald Trump and his team back in 2015. They claim they started in late July 2016 is 100% a lie.
2) To launch their counterintelligence investigations of FOUR SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS close to Trump, the FBI fakes its probable cause to the FISA Court, alleging it has good, solid verified evidence that Carter Page, Gen Flynn, Papa D and Manafort are Russian agents.
3) To get a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign, then after Trump won the election, his transition team, and then after Trump entered the White House, his Presidency itself, the FBI used a fake Trump/Russia dossier that came from a Clinton political operative, Steele.
4) The FBI then renews the Page warrant 3 times, so they were doing 'legal' electronic spying on Trump & his close associates for 11 months, from Oct '16 to Sept '17.
All during this time, the FBI keeps STUMBLING OVER EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE it hides from the FISA Court.
5) Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer in charge of handling the FISA warrant renewals, gets caught by DOJ IG investigators having tampered with a CIA email.
The FBI had asked the CIA if Page's claims of being a CIA contact in communication with then was true.
CIA said YES.
9) The source tells the FBI Steele was LYING to them, that the source never told Steele this, at best SOME of what Steele used was gross exaggerations & source was horrified to see Steele turning this into 'covert intelligence' from a highly placed source in the Russian gov't.
10) But again, this is NOT what the SpyGate plotters want to hear, so they hide from the FISA Court the source disavowing the allegations from Steele that were used in the Page warrant.
So they're hiding what the CIA said about Page, & their hiding what Steele's source said.
11) In May 2017, Comey gets fired, leaks one of his memos to the NYT's, gets called in to testify to Congress, and DEMANDS the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election - with a special focus on the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.
12) Robert Mueller is tapped to be the Special Counsel, assembles his team and begins his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election with special scrutiny devoted to trying to find evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign & the gov't of Russia.
13) So before the last two renewals of the Carter Page FISA warrant ran out in September of 2017, you had BOTH the Crossfire Hurricane team AND the Mueller Special Counsel on a quest for their Holy Grail: any evidence whatsoever of Trump crimes & Russian collusion.
4 months.
14) Then in late September 2017, the last FISA renewal runs out and the Mueller Special Counsel is left on the hunt for this Holy Grail.
Despite 11 months of intensive, super wide surveillance of Trump & his associates, the Crossfire Hurricane team has NOTHING to hand off.
15) 11 months of furious spying on the entire Trump campaign, then the transition team, then the Trump Presidency yielded no evidence of any Trump/Russia election collusion or any other Trump crime at all.
The Crossfire Hurricane team has nothing to show for 11 months work.
16) Now all hopes turn to the Mueller Special Counsel, which Rod Rosenstein gifted with a new super-duper wide scope for it's intensive and exhaustive investigation shortly after the Crossfire Hurricane team ended in abject failure.
17) And Mueller & his pack of crack bloodhounds search far and wide, high and low, behind every rock, bush and tree for 2 1/2 years and find NOTHING. They even end up using that super duper wide scope to go digging through the long-deceased Fred Trump's estate taxes.
Nothing.
18) All during this 2 1/2 year period that Mueller and his team of 13 angry Democrats are doing all this furious and futile searching, the Fake News Media is being fed a TON of fake leaks, all regaling the public with ribald tales of all the evidence Mueller is finding!
19) Trump is reportedly in a depression inside the White House, stumbling around in a stupor in his bathrobe, chugging down Diet Coke and morosely watching The Gorilla Channel in an attempt to cheer himself up as the walls start closing in on him.
20) One bug eyed crazy member of Congress, a Democrat, naturally, gets himself plenty of TV-face time by making all kinds of extravagant claims about all the good solid, 'more than circumstantial evidence' he's supposedly seen proving Trump/Russia Election Collusion.
21) This crazy bug-eyed Democrat making all these claims about the Trump/Russia Collusion evidence he's send is also in a locked battle with Republican Rep. Devin Nunes.
Both men produce dueling memos in Feb. 2018 about claims of FBI abuse of the FISA system.
22) Nunes memo is released first, detailing serious abuses and problems with the Carter Page FISA warrant, alleging the FBI was hiding key information from the Court.
Schiff's response memo was a complete repudiation of the Nunes memo, claiming Nunes was completely wrong.
23) Mueller Special Counsel drags on into 2019 even after AG Jeff Sessions resigns in late 2018, and is temp replaced by Matthew Whitaker.
In February 2019, Whitaker suddenly announces Mueller is wrapping up his Special Counsel investigation.
Many people REFUSE to believe him.
24) Yet it turns out Whitaker was telling the truth. Mueller is ending his investigation, and the only unfinished business ends up being yet another useless process perjury charge against...Roger Stone.
Democrats & the Fake News Media scramble to adjust to the new reality.
25) After more than TWO YEARS of selling fake news about Mueller having real Trump/Russia Election Collusion evidence, a whole lot of charlatans and fakers get exposed when Mueller releases his final report.
26) The **best** Mueller could come up with was a single obstruction charge based on a truly exotic and gymnastic pretzel-like reading of an obstruction of justice statute.
With a charge so weak he was unwilling to make it himself, Mueller **punts it** upstairs to AG Barr.
27) Mueller and DAG Rod Rosenstein look at Mueller's final offering, have a good laugh, shitcan it, and go out for beer and pizza.
And that's that.
Mueller's 2 1/2 year long exhaustive investigation by 13 Angry Democrats killed the Trump/Russia Collusion Hoax stone cold dead.
28)So:
All that pre-July 2016 spying they found: no Trump crimes
All that post-July 2016 spying to the point they got the Page FISA warrant they found: no Trump crimes
All that FISA spying they did from Oct '16 to Sept '17 they found: no Trump crimes.
See a pattern here?
29) And now?
All that Mueller Special Counsel investigating from June 2017 all the way to February of 2019 they found: no Trump crimes.
Amazing, isn't it?
Fully ponder it for a minute.
30) From the moment he announced his presidential run in 2015, to the moment he actually won the 2016 election, Trump was THE most thoroughly vetted President in US History.
You know they tried. They really, really did.
Change my mind!
30) They looked intensively and exhaustively for ANYTHING THEY COULD FIND while he was running for President.
They looked intensively and exhaustively for ANYTHING THEY COULD USE AGAINST HIM after he won the election during the transition period.
31) They looked intensively and exhaustively for ANYTHING THEY COULD USE AGAINST HIM after he was inaugurated and entered the White House.
And by summer of 2019 it was starting to dawn on these idiots: we're never going to find ANYTHING REAL so we'll have to FAKE IT.
32) IF all that spying and intercepting and transcribing and circulating and investigating of Trump & his close associates for more than FOUR YEARS AT THIS POINT had produced ANYTHING REAL they could use against him, you'd have SEEN it by now.
33) That's why by late Spring/early Summer of this year, the Democrats & DNC Media realized if they are EVER going to get Trump impeached & successfully damage his reelection efforts, they were going to have to INVENT crimes to impeach him with.
34) They certainly knew they were going to have to fake it once they realized what DOJ IG Horowitz was going to reveal with that final report:
A **complete** vindication of Devin Nunes and a total exposure of Adam Schiff.
35) They spent 3 years hanging their hopes on the Trump/Putin Collusion Traitor Hoax, and years of fake leaks coaxed them along in this fantasy.
Not until Spring of this year were Democrats & Fake News Media's final hopes about this finally staked through the heart.
36) Put yourselves in the Democratic leadership and the DNC Media Complex's shoes back in April/May of this year.
You've come to the realization that after more than 3 years of relentlessly looking, you can't find any real crimes and the Trump/Putin Hoax just got exposed.
37) Concurrent with this awful realization, the WRONG GUY wins the election in Ukraine and you discover Trump & Rudy Giuliani are working with this wrong guy to look into massive corruption in that country involving billions in US taxpayers dollars that just up and disappeared.
38) So if you're the Democratic Party leadership and the head people running the DNC Media Complex, here's what your FORCED into doing beginning in April of 2019:
you're forced to INVENT a crime involving a phone call using a fake whistle blower who's really a criminal leaker.
39) This is how we got where we are at today. Because they couldn't find any real crimes to use against Trump, they were forced to quickly throw together this transparently stupid fake crime surrounding Trump's phone call with Zelensky.
40) Biden got caught on video openly boasting about forcing the former Ukrainian gov't into a quid quo pro by threatening to withhold a $1 billion loan guarantee that had already been agreed to.
41) Democrats ***can't have ANYBODY*** investigating what Biden & others were doing in Ukraine from 2012 to 2019. So they need to turn President Trump trying to ENFORCE THE LAW AND TREATIES to discover where all our taxpayer-funded foreign really went into a CRIME.
