The news and the truth are not the same thing.

On or about Tuesday, 1 March 2016, CIA Director John Brennan flew to Moscow. He went to the offices of the Russian equivalent to the CIA, the Federal Security Service (FSB)—successor to the KGB—and he went “somewhere else” (yes, that’s exactly what Russia’s foreign ministry said about it). He did not to go to the foreign ministry.

The day before, on Monday, 29 February 2016—it being a leap year—a man named Paul Manafort had submitted to Donald Trump a four-page proposal to volunteer as an “advisor” to the campaign. Manafort had longstanding ties to Russia, particularly to a Moscow billionaire named Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska, who has been characterized as being a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But now, knowing that, we have to turn the clock back just a little bit further—eight days further, to Sunday, 21 February 2016—and there we find a covert “retired” MI6 operative named Christopher Steele engaged in a curious email exchange with an employee of our own Department of Justice, Bruce Ohr. As it just so happens, Steele and Ohr were discussing a Russian billionaire of interest to both of them. You may have already guessed that the Russian billionaire they were discussing was named Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska, who Steele referred to with initials “OD” or “OVD.” Somehow—somehow, you see—Christopher Steele, in London, had learned that during the upcoming week there was going to be “an inter-agency meeting” in the United States on Deripaska, which Steele presumed in his email that Ohr would be attending. Steele told Ohr that he had some reports on Deripaska that he would send to someone—someone, you see—(whose name is redacted in the available copies of the email), because that someone “has asked, for legal reasons I understand, for all such reporting be filtered through him (to you at DoJ and others).”

“Inter-agency meeting”? Given the subject of the meeting, that could not possibly omit the CIA. How did Steele know about any U.S. government “inter-agency meeting” that was going to be held on the subject of a Russian oligarch who was closely connected with Vladimir Putin? That will have to left in the ghostly realm of spook backchannels, but it proves conclusively that Steele was plugged in somehow to the US “Intelligence Community.” And it certainly does tell us that during the week between Sunday, 21 February 2016 and Monday, 29 February 2016, there was an “inter-agency meeting” in the United States concerning Oleg Deripaska, who had a long history with Paul Manafort. Then after that meeting, on Monday, 29 February 2016, Manafort submitted a compelling proposal to the Trump campaign to take him on.

And that brings us around again face-to-face with CIA Director John Brennan as he boarded a plane for Moscow on or about Tuesday, 1 March 2016.

There’s no point in trotting out and mulling over here the lies told about what Brennan went to Moscow for—chaff about Syria—because a) they are absurd on their face, and b) anything the CIA ever claims to have been doing, if it isn’t independently verifiable, is a lie. Always. Invariably. What he very well may have been doing was laying the groundwork with his counterpart criminals in Russia for Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak, a Russian diplomat (read “covert intelligence agent”), to collude with Brennan and the CIA in destroying Donald Trump—but that is speculation (however well grounded; stay tuned). (Some commentators have put Brennan’s trip to Russia later in March, such as at 14 March 2016, but that is based on chasing the White Rabbit of Brennan’s claimed “reason” for the trip. The only attested statement is that it was in “early March,” not mid-March or later. It either was before 3 March, when Brennan verifiably was in New York, or it was between 3 March and 7 March, when he verifiably was back in DC.)

At almost the exact same time, in “late February or early March,” a world-class nobody living in London named George Papadopoulos somehow got his resumé pumped full of hot fluff by somehow becoming listed as a member of the London Centre of International Law Practice (LCILP). Another man listed with LCILP was a Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud—a professor with major Russian insider contacts, who soon would loom large in the Papadopoulos legend. (Hat Tip to Jeff Carlson at The Markets Work.) Mifsud, who the UK paper The Independent has characterized as “a ghost,” undoubtedly had Russian ties, but investigative deep digging by Elizabeth Vos has turned up sound evidence that the mystery Maltese professor also had inarguable ties to British intelligence.

It’s a curiosity—only—to note that the London Centre of International Law Practice is about 3.3 miles from the offices of Orbis Business Intelligence Limited, the cover company for an MI6 agent named Christopher Steele.

As if someone flipped a switch, at almost the exact same time as John Brennan’s mysterious Moscow trip, an “Open Letter on Donald Trump From GOP National Security Leaders” was published on Wednesday, 2 March 2016, excoriating Trump on his foreign policy—or lack thereof. Immediately, the same day, the CIA’s favorite Operation Mockingbird mouthpiece, The Washington Post, leapt on it with one of its checkout-line headlines: “Trump Is ‘Fundamentally Dishonest,’ Say GOP National Security Leaders In Open Letter.” The message started getting pounded home in press everywhere that Trump was only being “informally advised” on foreign policy.

In the very same article that day, Wednesday, 2 March 2016, CIA mouthpiece The Washington Post reported that Trump was “being ‘informally advised’ by retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.” As Chalet Reports has recently exposed in two explosive exclusives, Michael Flynn was a close associate with Stanley McChrystal, and both of them were closely tied to GREG VOGLE—who at the time was John Brennan’s Director of National Clandestine Service at the CIA, the spook agency’s dirtiest dirty tricks division. [Please read EXCLUSIVE: Michael Flynn Was a Keystone in the CIA/Five-Eyes Plot to Frame Donald Trump and EXCLUSIVE: Greg Vogle, “The Missing Man” in the CIA’s Attempt to Frame Donald Trump for further information. —Ed.]

Then, on Monday, 7 March 2016, Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS received $102,064.30 from another CIA/Deep-State-connected law firm, Baker Hostetler—a hothouse spook farm internationally rampant in the defense and national security sectors. Simpson was being paid (ostensibly) for research on behalf of Russian company Prevazon and its Russian owner, Denis Katsyv—who was being represented by a Russian lawyer named Natalia Veselnitskaya. You know, in Russia—where John Brennan just visited Russian intelligence.

On or about Friday, 11 March 2016, that world-class nobody named George Papadopoulos was somehow suddenly elevated from total obscurity into a position of “foreign policy adviser” to the Trump campaign, not long after Carter Page had been briefed in New York by FBI agents, likely Bill Priestap or Peter Strzok



If you think even one word of this is being made up, better check the source links provided in this article, strap in, and hold on tight to the restraining bar, because this carnival ride is only barely beginning to pick up speed: At almost the exact same time, in “early March” 2016, Glenn Simpson contacted the law firm Perkins Coie, which was representing Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC, about doing opposition research on Donald Trump. Perkins Coie is notoriously connected to the CIA through “former” government-agency lawyers at the firm with top-secret security clearances (stay tuned).

But two days later, on Wednesday, 9 March 2016—quelle horreur ! NSA Director Mike Rogers discovered rampant illegal abuse of FISA 702 inquiries on US citizens! Oversight personnel conducting a minimization review at the FBI had learned that the FBI had disclosed raw FISA information, including Section 702-acquired information, to certain “private contractors.” Private contractors like, oh, for instance, Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS—or maybe even private contractors who were part of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB), whose members can come from the political, academic, or private sectors and “may not be full-time Federal government employees.” (Oh, definitely stay tuned.) The contractors “had access to raw FISA information that went well beyond what was necessary to respond to the FBI’s requests.”

Now “coincidence” goes into screaming particle-collider overdrive, because the very next day:

Thursday, 10 March 2016

Quoted from the source: “It was just before noon in Moscow on March 10, 2016, when the first volley of malicious [phishing] messages hit the Hillary Clinton campaign.” [NOTE: Supposedly. There is absolutely no evidence of this being true.] SOURCE: Raphael Satter, 4 November 2017, “Inside story: How Russians hacked the Democrats’ emails,” Associated Press

And the very next day:

Friday, 11 March 2016

FBI agents meet in New York with Carter Page, who has worked undercover with Peter Strzok and other members of the FBI’s Counterespionage Section on the case of Russian spy Evgeny Buryakov, who pleads guilty on this date to espionage.

SOURCE: Paul Sperry, 7 June 2018, “Flashback: Real Carter Page vs. the One People Suspect,” Real Clear Investigations

Yes, on or about this date an “UnderCover Employee” (UCE) for the FBI named Carter Page, who also had served as a covert operative for the CIA, was in New York City, secretly meeting with one or more FBI agents. The “cover” for the meeting—just in case it ever became known, and it didn’t until over a year later—was ostensibly to “tie up loose ends” with the FBI and federal prosecutors in New York about the Russian spying case against Evgeny Buryakov, and the covert recordings of him that Carter Page had made. That “cover story” is limp, given that the recordings had been submitted unsealed in court, with Carter Page‘s identity being carefully hidden as an FBI undercover employee, “UCE-1.” The reason it was a “good” cover story, though, is because the FBI agents who had overseen that case included Bill Priestap, director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, and his immediate junior, Peter Strzok. It likely was one or both of them meeting with Carter Page that week, briefing him on his new covert op for them: inside the Trump campaign.

On the same day:

Friday, 11 March 2016

George Papadopoulos, in London, receives confirmation from Sam Clovis, in New York, that Papadopoulos is accepted as an “unpaid advisor” to the Trump campaign. The two of them talk via Skype. Sam Clovis either does, or does not, tell Papadopoulos in that Skype talk that improving relations with Russia is a focus of the campaign. Papadopoulos claims he did; Clovis claims he didn’t.

SOURCES: Marta Subat, 22 October 2018, “Eric Trump on jobs coming back to America,” rush transcript from “Watters’ World” interview with George Papadopoulos of 20 October 2018; George Papadopoulos, Deep State Target, New York, Diversion Press, March 2019

On the very same day:

Friday, 11 March 2016

After George Papadopoulos tells the purported director of the LCILP, Nagi Khalid Idris (who isn’t actually a director there), that he has been accepted to work as an advisor to the Trump campaign, Nagi insists that Papdopoulos go the following day, Saturday, 12 March, to “a conference at Link Campus University in Rome.” Nagi also insists that Papadopoulos meet another “director with the LCILP,” Arvinder Sambei, who comes into the office to meet Papadopoulos. Sambei has been tasked (by somebody, purportedly Nagi) to contact a man named Joseph Mifsud, who will be at the conference, and to set up a meeting there between Papadopoulos and Mifsud. Sambei sets it up.

SOURCE: George Papadopoulos, Deep State Target, New York, Diversion Press, March 2019

Arvinder Sambei (a.k.a. Arvinda Sambir). She is the person who first set up the connection between Papadopoulos and Joseph Mifsud. So who is she? How and why is she mixed up in this?

First, at the time she was the “legal counsel for the FBI in the UK.” <Blink> What? She was the “legal counsel for the FBI in the UK.” You know: The FBI. The place that James Comey was running, where Bill Priestap and Peter Strzok were in charge of the Counterintelligence and Counterespionage divisions. That FBI.

Second, she had previously worked with FBI Director Robert Mueller as his primary liaison in the UK on trials there, in 2001, of some of the suspected 9/11 participants. <Blink> What? She had previously worked with FBI Director Robert Mueller as his primary liaison in the UK on trials there, in 2001, of some of the suspected 9/11 participants.

And third, just to get this out of the way, the legendary LCILP office where she and Papadopoulos supposedly “worked” as “directors” arguably has never been anything more than a phony Potemkin Village facade operating as a cutout for filthy criminal international spies (but I repeat myself).

Then, in a lightning-strike flash of coincidence (well, if you’re an idiot you’ll believe it’s coincidence), on Monday, 14 March 2016, (exactly one week after Glenn Simpson had received his over-$100k windfall), the professional nobody George Papadopoulos just happened to be in Rome, Italy, and just happened to meet there a certain Maltese professor named Joseph Mifsud—for the very first time! (Doncha’ know.)

PAPADOPOULOS: So I am officially part of the [Trump] campaign, I guess, around March 11 and then I tell this group [LCILP], “Look, I’m leaving London, I’m going to go back to the US because I’m joining Trump.” But for some reason, they wanted to bring me to Rome with them on some business trip to this university. I had no idea what it really was; it’s called Link Campus.

It is therefore a curiosity—only—to mention that a prominent FBI agent stationed in Rome, Italy, at the time, one Michael Gaeta, happened to be a good ol’ buddy of MI6 operative Christopher Steele, who happened to be a good ol’ buddy of Glenn Simpson. Yes, that’s the Glenn Simpson who just received a bucket of big bucks exactly one week before this amazing happenstance meeting of Papadopoulos and Mifsud. Michael Gaeta just happens to be the FBI agent who a few months later will travel to London—with the blessings of the U.S. State Department’s Victoria Nuland—to meet with MI6 operative Christopher Steele and receive a copy of the salacious “Trump Dossier” paid for by Simpson and Fusion GPS with money from the CIA-connected law firm Perkins Coie (and/or money from Baker Hostetler). But that’s getting ahead of the story. Do you need a scorecard yet?

Did FBI agent Michael Gaeta—the FBI agent who later will receive the “Dossier” from Christopher Steele—help to arrange the first meeting between George Papadopoulos and Joseph Mifsud in Italy?



You might soon, because on the exact same day that Papadopoulos and Mifsud were having their “imagine-that!” encounter in Italy—Monday, 14 March 2016—an unknown somebody used Bitcoins to purchase an anonymizing Virtual Private Network (VPN) account, which later will be used to log in to a Twitter account for somebody calling himself Guccifer 2.0, who will then publish emails and documents from the Democratic National Committee (DNC). [Robert Mueller will subsequently claim this was all done by a bunch of Russian hackers.]

Just three days later, on Thursday, 17 March 2016, MI6 agent Christopher Steele sent a note through email to Bruce Ohr, Associate Deputy Attorney General to then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the Justice Department. Steele wanted to know if Ohr had any “update” on plans to be Europe any time soon where the two of them “could meet up.” Ohr didn’t, but asked if Steele wanted to have a call.

(It is a curiosity—only—to note that around the same time, “The FBI had obtained highly classified information in March 2016 that included allegations of partisan bias or attempts to impede the Midyear investigation [into Hillary Clinton’s emails]” by AG Loretta Lynch.)

The very next day after the Steele note to Bruce Ohr, on Friday, 18 March 2016, Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS received another $165,859.15 from Deep-State law firm Baker Hostetler, all tied in with the Russian bunch consisting of Prevezon Holdings, its owner, Denis Katsyv, and attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya.

And then the very next day after Glenn Simpson got his new stash of cash, on Saturday, 19 March 2016, an anonymous somebody [who Robert Mueller later will claim was a Russian hacker] allegedly sent a phishing email to Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta. Podesta allegedly clicked on it obligingly, giving the alleged hacker access to his emails. And Podesta, of course, was being represented by Perkins Coie. [N.B. The “evidence” that has been supplied to support this phishing claim and its alleged success is fraught with contradictions and “no-see-ums.” Too complicated to include here, it is the subject of an upcoming Chalet Reports article. —Ed. ]

At almost the same time in March 2016—though nobody on Earth has ever given an exact date—yet another professional nobody named Carter Page (perhaps you’ll recall his name, from a few days earlier in this timeline) oozed up out of the Washington slime and, just like the professional nobody George Papadopoulos, was suddenly, somehow, a new member of Donald Trump’s “foreign policy” advisor team. There were some differences with this particular nobody-to-somebody, though. He was a covert informer and operative for both the CIA and the FBI—although no one in Trump’s camp seemed to have been aware of it at the time (stay tuned). It’s inarguable, though, according to Carter Page’s own statements:

CARTER PAGE: “I’ve helped both the FBI and CIA on other things in the past. We’ve had tens of hours of discussions, and I spent a lot of time in Langley previously, so, it’s been an ongoing dialogue.”

It’s also a matter of incontrovertible record that Carter Page—identified as “UCE-1,” for “UnderCover Employee 1″—helped the FBI in a sting operation against several Russian agents in the US, Page “posing as an analyst from a New York-based energy company.”

There is no known hint or shadow of an indication that anybody in the Trump campaign knew in March 2016 that Carter Page was a covert operative of the FBI or CIA—or both—when he was gratuitously proposed by somebody, just as George Papadopoulos had been, as a “foreign policy adviser.”

So who—who—was bringing Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Carter Page, and George Papadopoulos into the Trump campaign:

MEET SAM “THE HAM” CLOVIS

Somehow, Sam Clovis had wormed his way into a trusted position as co-chair of Donald Trump’s campaign. Once there he brought in four—four—men, each one of whom, within only eight months or less, would somehow manage to taint and smear Donald Trump with phony, manufactured “Russian collusion” charges. Four for four. That is one amazing hiring track record right there.

Before slithering into the Trump tent, Sam Clovis did a year of service at Booz Allen Hamilton, and for those who haven’t crawled through those particular gutters looking for snakes, let me simply quote here from the book Spies for Hire, by Tim Sherrock (bold emphasis added):

It is in intelligence that Booz Allen has made its mark. In 2002, Information Week reported that Booz Allen had “more than one thousand former intelligence officers on its staff.” … A Booz Allen IT contract with the Defense Intelligence Agency, which carries out intelligence for the joint Chiefs of Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense … stated that the Booz Allen team “employs more than 10,000 TS/SCI cleared personnel.” TS/SCI stands for Top Secret/ Sensitive Compartmented Information, the highest possible security rating in the IC [Intelligence Community]. This would make Booz Allen one of the largest employers of cleared personnel in the United States. Booz Allen has “the biggest chunk of recent former CIA people of any of the corporations” involved in contracting, says john Gannon, the former director of the CIA‘s National Intelligence Council … ” If the CIA is America’s best-known Intelligence agency, the Pentagon should be considered its most powerful. Its signiﬁcance is due to one simple fact: more than 80 percent of the Intelligence Cornmun1ty’s budget falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense … . Like the rest of the IC, these agencies outsource at least 50 percent of their operations to private companies.

One of the selections made for the Trump campaign by Sam Clovis was Michael Flynn, the “former” head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, whose name would be the first to become splattered all over the Operation Mockingbird press to infamously smear President-Elect Donald Trump with alleged “Russia collusion” before Trump even could be inaugurated. Note the DIA’s cozy relationship with Booz Allen Hamilton.

Another selection by Sam Clovis was Carter Page, who now is known to have been an undercover operative and informant for both the FBI and the CIA, and who was the decoy used by the CIA and FBI to get a FISA warrant under false pretenses to spy on Trump and friends.

Sam Clovis also brought in George Papadopoulos-the-Pure. Clovis also—according to Papadopoulos—told Papadopoulos that Russia was an important foreign policy focus for Donald Trump and his campaign. Of course, as in all things generated by the CIA and its lackeys, Clovis denies ever having said that. And of course there is not a single scrap of actual evidence either way. Thats because fiction doesn’t leave a paper trail.

Whoever made the recommendations was doing the bidding, wittingly or unwittingly, of John Brennan and the CIA, who later would knowingly and maliciously use all four of these “advisors” to frame Donald Trump for “colluding” with Russia.

On Monday, 21 March 2016, both Carter Page and George Papadopoulos were publicly announced for the first time as being recently acquired members of Donald Trump’s team of “foreign policy advisers.” The parasites had burrowed in.

And in an absolutely astounding coincidence—you believe in coincidence, don’t you?—on the very same day, Monday, 21 March 2016, a person or persons unknown allegedly stole over 50,000 emails from John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager. [That link goes to Robert Mueller telling you that it was some amazingly clever Russian hackers.]

Speaking of Robert Mueller and hackers, the very next day, Tuesday, 22 March 2016, Mueller engineered a strange phone call through someone named Anette Ellis, who styles herself as an “Executive Assistant Manager, US Government.” The call was to arrange for Mueller and a man named Aaron Zebley to come to the White House to meet with one Stefanie Osburn, the Executive Director of Obama’s President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB). Yeah, that President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.

Who is Aaron Zebley? A question well worth asking, and here’s a comprehensive answer from the law firm WilmerHale—the law firm where Mueller was working at the time (bold emphasis added):

Zebley, who has been both an FBI Special Agent and an Assistant United States Attorney, served as Chief of Staff to Robert S. Mueller III, the former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Zebley has most recently been Senior Counselor in the National Security Division at the Department of Justice. Prior to his role as Chief of Staff to former FBI Director Mueller, Zebley was a Special Agent of the FBI in the Counterterrorism Division for seven years. In between his two tours at the FBI, Zebley served as an Assistant US Attorney (AUSA) in the National Security and Terrorism Unit in Alexandria, Virginia. During his tenure as an AUSA, he investigated and prosecuted crimes related to national security, terrorism, and violent crime.

It goes on to laud Zebley’s “cybersecurity capabilities.” And if you’re not Zelbey’ed out yet, the World Tribune (among other sources) should put you over the edge:

Aaron Zebley was an attorney for Justin Cooper, the IT aide who set up the private email server [for Hillary Clinton] and who destroyed Clinton’s old Blackberry phones with a hammer, Fox News’s Tucker Carlson reported.

As for Stefanie Osburn, she’s every bit as “ghostly” as the mysterious Maltese Mifsud—even though she was the Executive Director of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board for about 15 years, beginning in 2005. It may even be that she casts no reflection in a mirror and doesn’t stop or reflect light, because not one single image of her turns up in any Internet search. Yet Mueller and Zebley wanted to meet with her at the White House. The meeting was arranged in the 22 March 2016 call to take place a few weeks later, in April.

Only two days after Mueller’s call, on Thursday, 24 March 2016, George Papadopoulos had somehow gotten himself to London (don’t bother asking where he is getting all the jet-setting money, or your head will explode—but it was not from the Trump campaign). And, Lo! And Behold! Who just happens to be in London? Why it’s the elusive and mystifying Maltese professor, Joseph Mifsud, and they amazingly meet up “in a London cafe.” This time, though, the mysterious maven from Malta had with him an equally mysterious Russian woman, introduced as Olga Polonskaya—though her real name may be Olga Vinogradova. Even if her name were Betty Boop, she was introduced as being the niece of Vladimir Putin—which was a bald-faced lie that anyone could have checked in 30 seconds using an internet connection, and even that allowing time for a covfefe break. Why such an idiotic lie? Because that’s how the CIA and its amoral minions work. The entire point was to plant that lie in an email sent to the Trump campaign, and to further plant in the email a statement that the purpose of the Papadopoulos-Mifsud-Mystery Woman get-together had been “to arrange a meeting between us and the Russian leadership to discuss U.S.-Russia ties under President Trump”—which, of course, Papadopoulos dutifully did plant into an email that very day.

THE UNSEEN HAND

If by this time you don’t see in this operation the always present and bloody Unseen Hand of the CIA and its twisted sisters at MI6 and the Five Eyes, you might well be advised to turn to some comic books or light romantic fiction, because the horror-show carnival ride exposing the real filth that plagues this world we live in may soon have you losing your lunch—or your mind. Nobody wants that. And I don’t wish to shatter the last vestige of hold you might have on either, but I must responsibly point out that we aren’t even through March 2016 yet.

And on Monday, 28 March 2016, Paul Manafort was officially named to organize the Trump campaign’s part in the upcoming Republican National Convention. Years earlier, in 2008, Glenn Simpson—you remember Glenn, of Fusion GPS—and his wife, Mary Jacoby, had reported in the Wall Street Journal on Paul Manafort and his earning “big fees by representing controversial clients from the former Soviet Union.”

If you don’t see the Unseen Hand yet, can you feel its shadow on the back of your neck? You should. Because just a few days later, on Thursday, 31 March 2016, George Papadopoulos was piping up in a “national security meeting” in Washington, DC, with the Trump campaign, crowing that he “had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then-candidate Trump and President Putin.”

On the very same day, Aaron Zebley joined the law firm where Robert Mueller was then working, WilmerHale. (He later will quit at the same time as Mueller, going onto Mueller’s Special Counsel “team”—along with the FBI’s Lisa Page.)

And within mere days, on or about Monday, 1 April 2016, the Deep-State law firm Perkins Coie “engaged Fusion GPS in April of 2016, to perform a variety of research services.”

If you doubt that the Perkins Coie outfit is “Deep State,” don’t take my word for it. Read it on their own website (even though they don’t know how to write a decent English sentence), emphasis added:

“Many of our lawyers previously worked for federal and state government agencies, courts and large, sophisticated contractors. Several attorneys in our practice hold top-secret clearances.”

Only four days later—and mark this very well indeed—on Tuesday, 5 April 2016, “former” DOJ official Michael Sussman of Perkins Coie publicly “interviewed” the FBI’s General Counsel, James “Jim” Baker at the International Association of Privacy Professionals’ 2016 Global Privacy Summit in Washington, DC. I have to leave the irony of the name of the event strictly alone, or it will choke us all to death before we get further, but this is a pivotal public “encounter,” and yet one more bloody handprint of the CIA. Whenever possible, they always give the participants in their covert criminal operations a “reason” to be together, and this “reason” is as thin and threadbare as cheesecloth. See “The CIA Psyops of Watergate and Beyond.”

Recent revelations indicate that Michael Sussman not only was a money launderer for the entire operation to frame and destroy Donald Trump—shuttling money from Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the DNC to Glenn Simpson—he also was an information launderer between Simpson and the FBI via James “Jim” Baker, coordinating everything that was about to go down.

Within less than a week, on Sunday, 10 April 2016, President Barack Obama went on national TV to exonerate Hillary Clinton in the ongoing FBI investigation of her emails, while insisting he wasn’t exonerating her:

CHRIS WALLACE: Last October, you said that Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server did not jeopardize national secrets.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

OBAMA: I can tell that you this is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CHRIS WALLACE: Since then, we’ve learned that over 2,000 of her e-mails contained classified material, 22 of the e-mails had top-secret information. Can you still say flatly that she did not jeopardize America’s secrets?

OBAMA: …Here’s what I know: Hillary Clinton was an outstanding Secretary of State. She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy. …I continue to believe that she has not jeopardized America’s national security. Now what I’ve also said is that—and she has acknowledged—that there’s a carelessness, in terms of managing e-mails, that she has owned, and she recognizes. …

CHRIS WALLACE: … Can you guarantee to the American people, can you direct the Justice Department to say, “Hillary Clinton will be treated—as the evidence goes, she will not be in any way protected.”

OBAMA: I can guarantee that. … I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department, or the FBI, not just in this case, but in any case. Full stop. Period. Guaranteed. Full stop. Nobody gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department, because nobody is above the law.

Just three days later, on Wednesday, 13 April 2016, Robert Mueller III (two of them would have been at least one too many) and Aaron Zebley have their meeting at the White House with the elusive Stefanie Osburn—who unquestionably had at least top secret clearance, tight connections to John Brennan and the CIA, and, perhaps most importantly of all, this, as part of the policy of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board:

Board members are granted Top Secret/SCI clearances from FBI and given access to all information needed to perform their duties.

Meanwhile, five days after the Mueller meeting at the White House, on the following Monday, 18 April 2016, the inscrutable professor Joseph Mifsud was in Moscow, “for a Valdai meeting, plus other meetings at the Duma.” Via email, he introduced George Papadopoulos to the “Russian MFA Connection”—Ivan Timofeev, who supposedly had “connections” to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). Well, of course he did. And it’s a very safe bet that he also had “connections” to the people that John Brennan had visited in Moscow “in early March.” Naturally, according to plan and instruction from his Deep State handlers, Papadopoulos immediately spread this thick in his emails to the Trump campaign—where he was largely ignored.

Oh, but again: quelle horreur ! On the very same day, Monday, 18 April 2016, NSA Director Mike Rogers again threw a spanner in the works, and this time he really brought the big spanner: he absolutely shut down all outside FBI/DOJ contractor access to the FISA data. Screeching, smoking, “full stop”—to borrow a phrase.

Well, John Brennan already had seen this coming. That’s exactly why he went to Russia in the first place in early March, and started lining up Russian actors and Russia-connected actors who would cooperate in framing Donald Trump.

It’s also exactly why John Brennan arranged, through cutouts and blinds, to get George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, and Paul Manafort into high-profile positions inside the Trump campaign. Manafort was already a marked target before the first day he walked in there, and Brennan knew it.

Not one single charge has been brought against Carter Page, because at all relevant times he was a witting covert operative for the CIA, sent there specifically to flaunt his Russia connections, then have a FISA warrant issued on him, solely so the CIA and its lapdog FBI could get to Trump.

That’s exactly why Brennan worked like a roach inside the walls, including through Perkins Coie, to set up the Christopher Steele-to-Glenn Simpson-to-Bruce Ohr-to-Nellie Ohr fiction laundering machine for “Russian intel” on Trump—before Mike Rogers shut down the contractor access!

As for Papadopoulos, they are using him exactly the way they used the “Cuban contingent” in Watergate: to “confess” to lesser and nonexistent “crimes” in order to plant a false, fictitious record. Bet the farm that he either will not see a minute in jail, or will get sent to some Country Club jail to read, watch TV, and write his “memoirs.”

I wrote in Watergate: The Hoax: “The CIA always plays both sides of a game. Always.” That’s how the CIA overthrew a sitting President of the United States then for their own nefarious purposes, and they have attempted to use the exact same modus operandi against Trump. It’s the same bloody handprint, and once you know it, it is utterly unmistakeable.

Of course, their counterparts in Russia and other nations also always play both sides of a game, and it just may be that Brennan got his treasonous espionage ass handed to him by both Putin and Trump.

But more about that in Part B [now available—click here]. We’ll pick it up when Mary Jacoby, wife of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, visits the White House, and only days later Barack Obama’s Organizing for Action (OFA) campaign fund pays nearly $100,000 to Perkins Coie.

It’s a guaranteed white-knuckler. Pack a lunch.
