January 5, 2017, a meeting was held in the Obama White House in the Oval
Office. Both President Obama and Vice President Biden attended. This
meeting, it turns out, was critical to the anti-Trump operation by the
Obama administration, reports Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist. “It was
at this meeting that Obama gave guidance to key officials who would be
tasked with protecting his administration’s utilization of secretly funded
Clinton campaign research, which alleged Trump was involved in a treasonous
plot to collude with Russia, from being discovered or stopped by the
incoming administration,” she wrote.
Also in attendance at this meeting was then-CIA Director John Brennan,
then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, then-national
security adviser Susan Rice, then-FBI Director James Comey, then-Deputy
Attorney General Sally Yates, and other members of the national security
council.
It was at this meeting that Barack Obama spoke with Yates and Comey about
wiretapped conversations of Trump’s incoming National Security Adviser Gen.
Michael Flynn with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the Trump
transition, indicating that President Obama was directly knowledgeable of
the efforts to surveil the Trump campaign and undermine the incoming
administration.
Susan Rice wrote herself a now-infamous email documenting the meeting,
writing “President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with
the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that
we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”
After this meeting took place, “high-level operatives began intensely
leaking selective information supporting a supposed Russia-Trump conspiracy
theory, the incoming National Security Advisor was ambushed, and the
incoming Attorney General [Jeff Sessions] was forced to recuse himself from
oversight of investigations of President Trump.”
Top Obama officials have since testified that they never had any empirical
evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
As Hemingway notes, “explosive media leaks were a key strategy in the
operation to take down Trump.” Per Obama’s direction, information on Russia
was “not fully shared with the incoming Trump team” and “the leaks and
ambushes made the transition chaotic, scared quality individuals away from
working in the administration, made effective governance almost impossible,
and materially damaged national security.”
President Trump has indicated that more damning evidence against Obama and
Biden will see the light of day.
“There’s more to come, from what I understand. and they’re gonna be far
greater than what you’ve seen so far—and what you’ve seen so far has been
incredible—especially as it relates to President Obama because if anyone
thinks that he and sleepy Joe Biden didn’t know what was going on, they
have another thing coming.”
“It is clear that understanding what happened in that January 5 Oval Office
meeting is essential to understanding the full scope and breadth of the
corrupt operation against the Trump administration,” explained
Hemingway.It’s time to get some answers, especially from Barack Obama and
Joe Biden._____

A Key Obama Meeting Was Held to Ensure FBI Russia Collusion Probe Wasn't
Discovered by the Trump Administration

I mean, we shouldn’t be too shocked about this I guess, given the scale of
the anti-Trump operation executed by the Obama administration.
Then-President Obama had to have known. If not, then he wasn’t in control
of the executive. Katie touched upon this earlier this week, noting that
new documents from the Department of Justice in their motion to dismiss
their case against ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was the
victim of an FBI plot to entrap him on perjury charges. Flynn has been
vindicated, and more light is being shed on the scope of this whole
operation.
The deep state does exist. They’re malicious. They’re ruthless. Just look
at the mindset of Andrew McCabe and James Comey, who were determined to
ensnare Flynn, department policy, and constitutional rights be damned. It’s
chilling. And now we’re seeing how Obama was the starting quarterback for
how to ensure the incoming Trump administration would be saddled with the
Trump-Russia collusion allegations. It was coordinated chaos. Here’s what
Katie wrote about what the new DOJ revealed regarding this angle:
Newly released documents from the Department of Justice show President
Obama informed former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates of a phone call
between former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and Russian
Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December 2016. He did so in the Oval Office.
"Yates first learned of the December 2016 calls between [LTG Michael] Flynn
and [Russian Ambassador to the United States, Sergey] Kislyak on January 5,
2017, while in the Oval Office. Yates, along with then FBI-Director James
Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, and then-Director of National
Intelligence James Clapper, were at the White House to brief members of the
Obama Administration on the classified Intelligence Community Assessment on
Russian Activities in Recent U.S Elections. President Obama was joined by
his National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, and others from the National
Security Council," the document states.
"After the briefing, Obama dismissed the group but asked Yates and Comey to
stay behind. Obama started by saying he had 'learned of the information
about Flynn' and his conversation with Kislyak about sanctions. Obama
specified he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was
seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any
differently, given the information. At that point, Yates had no idea what
the President was talking about, but figured it out based on the
conversation. Yates recalled Comey mentioning the Logan Act, but can't
recall if he specified there was an 'investigation,'" it continues.
That January 5 meeting appears to be critical, as Obama also gave his
marching orders. Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist has a lengthy post
detailing the meeting, the ensuing timelines, and how all the stars aligned
to what Barry wanted. He wanted to make sure the incoming Trump
administration didn’t find out about the FBI’s counterintelligence probe
into Russian collusion. With that mindset, Obama officials soon weaponized
the Russia collusion nonsense to inflict damage on the new Trump White
House. Remember, Obama and most of the Democratic establishment thought
Hillary was going to win. Obama administration officials thought so as
well, as did the intelligence apparatus probably. They thought this could
be swept under the rug once Hillary was sworn-in, washed away as if it
never happened. Well, that plan got punched in the mouth. It was scrambling
time (via The Federalist) [emphasis mine]:
A clearer picture is emerging of the drastic steps that were taken to
accomplish Obama’s goal in the following weeks and months. Shortly
thereafter, high-level operatives began intensely leaking selective
information supporting a supposed Russia-Trump conspiracy theory, the
incoming National Security Advisor was ambushed, and the incoming Attorney
General was forced to recuse himself from oversight of investigations of
President Trump. At each major point in the operation, explosive media
leaks were a key strategy in the operation to take down Trump.
Not only was information on Russia not fully shared with the incoming Trump
team, as Obama directs, the leaks and ambushes made the transition chaotic,
scared quality individuals away from working in the administration, made
effective governance almost impossible, and materially damaged national
security. When Comey was finally fired on May 9, in part for his
duplicitousness regarding his handling of the Russia collusion theory, he
orchestrated the launch of a Special Counsel probe that continued his
efforts for another two years. That probe ended with Mueller finding no
evidence of any American colluding with Russia to steal the 2016 election,
much less Trump or anyone connected to him.
An analysis of the timeline from early 2017 shows a clear pattern of
behavior from the federal officials running the collusion operation against
the Trump campaign. It also shows how essential media leaks were to their
strategy to sideline key law enforcement and intelligence officials and
cripple the ability of the incoming Trump administration to run the country.
[…]
January 5: Yates, Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and Director of
National Intelligence James Clapper briefed Obama on Russia-related matters
in the Oval Office. Biden and Rice also attended. After the Obama briefing,
the intelligence chiefs who would be leaving at the end of the term were
dismissed and Yates and Comey, who would continue in the Trump
administration, were asked to stay. Not only did Obama give his guidance
about how to perpetuate the Russia collusion theory investigations, he also
talked about Flynn’s conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak,
according to both Comey and Yates. Interestingly, Clapper, Comey, and Yates
all said that they did not brief Obama about these phone calls. Clapper
testified he did not brief Obama on the calls, Yates learned about the
calls from Obama himself during that meeting, and Comey also testified he
didn’t brief Obama about the calls, even though the intelligence was an FBI
product. Rice, who publicly lied but later admitted under oath to her
widespread use of unmasked intelligence at the end of the Obama
administration, likely briefed Obama on the calls and would have had access
to the intelligence. Comey mentions the Logan Act at this meeting.
It was this meeting that Rice memorialized in a bizarre inauguration-day
email to herself that claimed Obama told the gathered to do everything “by
the book.” But Rice also noted in her email that the key point of
discussion in that meeting was whether and how to withhold national
security information, likely including details of the investigation into
Trump himself, from the incoming Trump national security team.
And all of this was done for obvious reasons. The FBI’s actions here were
deplorable. First, they used an unverified piece of opposition research,
the Trump Dossier, to secure a FISA spy warrant on Carter Page, a former
Trump campaign official. The FBI altered or omitted exculpatory evidence in
the process to obtain the warrant, which DOJ Inspector General Michael
Horowitz said was a systemic issue. Someone should be fired over this, but
that won’t happen. The Horowitz report also drove a stake through the heart
of the dossier, which was compiled by former British intelligence agent
Christopher Steele which was funded by the Democrats and Hillary Clinton.
The dossier was probably never vetted by the FBI since former FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe refused to say otherwise. By the glaring errors in
it, it wasn’t.
Also, let’s not forget about the spying operation into the Trump campaign.
Sorry, it’s not spying, just informants gleaning information from Trump
campaign officials under false pretenses and then relaying said information
to a third party. The FBI sent a woman, Azra Turk, to run the operation
which included Stefan Halper, another informant. Trump campaign official
George Papadopoulos, a target of this surveillance operation called
‘Crossfire Hurricane,’ felt Turk was CIA, not an FBI agent, but that’s a
tale for another time.

He wasn't a spy.... he was hired by the FBI to secretly engage in
conversations under false pretenses and then report back whatever he
learned in those conversations.

But he wasn't a spy.

Orwell was not writing fiction.

For over a year @realDonaldTrump told us he was spied on.

The “Elite” laughed at him.

Now we know is was all true and even have the codename of the Operation:
#CrossfireHurricane.

But the @nytimes and its coconspirators still lie to America:

George Papadopoulos
✔@GeorgePapa19
I agree with everything in this superb article except “Azra Turk” clearly
was not FBI. She was CIA and affiliated with Turkish intel. She could
hardly speak English and was tasked to meet me about my work in the energy
sector offshore Israel/Cyprus which Turkey was competing with.

----
And now we know this entire operation, the entire collusion narrative was a
hoax. It was partially grounded in Russian misinformation which was surely
fed to Steele when he was developing sources in Russia, some of which were
intelligence officials still active in the Kremlin. Knowing Trump, Obama
knew how the incoming president would react and moved to ensure a plan was
set in place that would lead to the works getting gummed up. Hemingway’s
excellent timeline analysis shows the leaks and other deep state antics
that went along prior to and after Trump’s inauguration. CNN and The
Washington Post appeared to be popular sites for these leaks to pop up.
They tried but failed. The whole circus act has been revealed—and the
hunters are slowly becoming the hunted. It’s about damn time.

Mark Levin Perfectly Sums Up What New Documents Say About Obama's Role in
Targeting Flynn
By Katie Pavlich |Townhall.com

Yesterday the Department of Justice released a number of documents backing
up the decision to drop the criminal case against General Michael Flynn. In
them, it was revealed President Barack Obama was in on the Flynn takedown,
knew about the FBI wiretapping his phone in 2016 and asked whether his case
should be "treated differently" moving forward. He even took the time to
brief then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, in the Oval Office, on what
he knew.



-----
During an appearance on Hannity Thursday night, conservative radio host
Mark Levin referred to the documents as "Barack Obama's blue dress."

"This is Barack Obama's blue dress," Levin said holding up the
documents. "Let me explain what I mean. We're supposed to believe that
during the Obama administration the FBI went rogue. The Department of
Justice went rogue. The CIA went rogue. The DNI went rogue. The NSA went
rogue. We have all these leaks in the newspapers, The New York Times and
the Washington Post that anybody can read and see and Barack Obama didn't
know anything? Poor Barack Obama, poor Joe Biden. The fact of the matter
is, they've never been asked. They've never been asked about any role
they've had."
"This is a massive coverup of the greatest scandal in American history. We
expect and we don't like it when the Russians interfere with our elections,
or the Chinese or the Iranians or the North Koreans, they're the enemy and
they ought to pay for it. But we don't expect the Obama administration and
the Democrats to interfere with elections, to send spies into the
opposition party's campaign. To lie to a federal court, to fix
evidence...that's why all along I've been calling this a silent coup," he
continued. "This tells us that Obama knew...the fact of the matter is
Barack Obama knew all about this."
