ICYMI: "Of course they spied on Trump

Of course they spied on Trump

OF COURSE THEY SPIED ON TRUMP. One of the most contentious claims Donald Trump ever made was his insistence that he had been the target of spying. He made the charge in several different ways. For example, in March 2017, Trump, just two months in office, tweeted, "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" Two years later, in April 2019, he was less specific but equally adamant when he said, "There was absolutely spying into my campaign." In August 2020, during his Republican National Committee acceptance speech, he said, "Remember this: They spied on my campaign."
Each time, all the usual anti-Trump voices rushed to accuse the president of lying. But over the years, a series of facts emerged that, while they did not support some of Trump's most specific charges — Obama did not wiretap Trump in Trump Tower — did support the larger idea that Trump was indeed the target of spying.
We learned that in the final days of the 2016 presidential race, when the Clinton campaign came up with the Steele dossier, a collection of sensational and unsupported allegations about Trump and Russia, the FBI used the dossier to win approval to wiretap Carter Page, a low-level former Trump campaign adviser. Then we learned that also in 2016, the FBI used a confidential informant, a professor named Stefan Halper, to spy on Page and George Papadopoulos, another low-level Trump adviser. Then we learned that in 2016, the FBI sent an undercover agent — a woman who used the alias Azra Turk — to secretly record conversations with Papadopoulos.
So, there is ample evidence to say that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign. Now we are learning about another type of spying — the Clinton campaign spying on the Trump campaign. The revelations are coming from the investigation of John Durham, the special counsel appointed by the Trump administration, and retained by the Biden administration, to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
In a court filing Friday, Durham reported that in July 2016, a tech executive named Rodney Joffe (he is unnamed in the court papers, but the name has been widely reported) worked with the Clinton campaign's law firm to "mine Internet data," some of it "non-public and/or proprietary" — that means secret — to search for information that could be used to claim a Trump-Russia connection. Among the secret data that was "exploited," according to Durham, was internet traffic from Trump Tower, from Donald Trump's Central Park West apartment building, and — after Trump was elected president — the Executive Office of the President of the United States. Joffe's company, Durham says, "had come to access and maintain dedicated servers for the EOP as part of a sensitive arrangement" — a government contract — to provide tech services. They then "exploited this arrangement by mining the EOP's [Internet] traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump."
After that, the Clinton team went to the CIA to try to get the nation's spy agency interested in the anti-Trump effort. That mirrored earlier Clinton approaches to the FBI, when Clinton operatives tried to interest agents on what is known as the "Alfa Bank" story, which was a phony allegation that there were all sorts of suspicious connections between a Russian bank and the Trump campaign.
The bigger goal of all of it, Durham says, was "to establish 'an inference' and 'narrative' tying then-candidate Trump to Russia." So there was a two-track operation going on: While the FBI was doing spying of its own, the Clinton team was spying, too, and trying to get the FBI and CIA involved. It was all part of a larger plan to push the "narrative" of Trump-Russia collusion.
How did it end? You'll remember that a special counsel, Robert Mueller, using all the resources and powers of federal law enforcement, searched for collusion for years and could never establish that it happened, much less that any Trump campaign figures might have been involved.
Going to the FBI and CIA had tactical advantages for the Clinton campaign, in this way: If a Clinton operative approached a member of the press, claiming to have hot information about a Trump-Russia connection, the reporter, even if normally biased toward Democrats, might view it skeptically. After all, consider the source — a campaign flak trying to plant a story. But if the Clinton operative approached the press with information that the FBI was investigating a possible Trump-Russia connection — that's news! If the nation's intelligence and law enforcement agencies are investigating Trump, that's a big story, in and of itself. And indeed, that is how the dossier ultimately got into public circulation, when sources told CNN that the country's top intel chiefs had briefed Trump on it.
The new revelation is confirmation for some of the Republicans who uncovered the early clues of the spying operation. "Democrat-paid operatives illegally hacked their political opponents' communications during a presidential campaign and then did it again to a sitting president and the White House staff," said Devin Nunes, who as House Intelligence Committee chairman investigated the spying allegations. "These actions are characteristic of third-world dictatorships, not democracies. It is undoubtedly the biggest political scandal of our lifetime." (Nunes, who just left Congress, is now CEO of the new Trump social media venture.)
For former President Donald Trump, the message was much simpler. On Sunday, he sent out an email statement that read, simply: "THEY SPIED ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"
Yes, they did.

CNN POLL: 51 Percent of Democrats Do NOT Want Joe Biden as the 2024 Nominee
A new CNN poll reveals 51% of Democrats don’t want 81 million vote recipient Joe Biden as the 2024 nominee.
The fake news media still hasn’t explained how the most popular president in US history lost his popularity in one year.
The reality is Joe Biden was in fifth place during the Democrat primaries in 2020.
Democrat voters weren’t excited about a geriatric Dementia patient.
But the DNC rigged the primaries (again) and installed Joe Biden with ballot harvesting and Zuckerberg ballot boxes.
The Biden presidency is going just about as bad as we expected: Record inflation, soaring gas prices, record unemployment, Russia, Iran and North Korea saber-rattling, supply chain crisis, Covid tyranny and more.
51 percent of Democrats do not want Joe Biden as the 2024 nominee, according to a CNN poll released on Sunday.
WATCH:
A CNN poll released Thursday continues a brutal string of polling for Joe Biden with this poll giving Biden a new low of 41 percent approval and a new high of 58 percent disapproval.
57 percent rate Biden’s first year in office a failure.
Strikingly, among those who disapprove of Biden’s performance, 56 percent say Biden has done nothing they approve of.
But he totally got 81 million votes.
ICYMI: Lesley Stahl Slammed for Unearthed Trump Interview After Durham Repor
Lesley Stahl Slammed for Unearthed Trump Interview After Durham Report
Lesley Stahl, a correspondent for CBS' "60 Minutes," is receiving backlash over an unearthed interview with Donald Trump in which she dismissed claims that the former president was spied on during his 2016 campaign.
The backlash comes after new allegations by special counsel John Durham in the inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation gjzg support the former president's suspicions.
In the October 2020 interview, Trump declared that "the biggest scandal was when they spied on my campaign."
"There is no real evidence of that," Stahl responded.
"Of course there is. It's all over the place," Trump said as Stahl quickly shot back with a defiant "No."
The back and forth continued until Stahl reiterated once more that she disapproved of Trump's comments and "didn't know" if what he said was true.
"Then they went much further than that, and they got caught. And you will see that, Lesley, and you know that, but you just don't want-," Trump said before Stahl interjected.
"No," she said. "As a matter of fact, I don't know that."
"Lesley Stahl should apologize to Donald Trump," Trump's son Eric Trump said Sunday on Twitter.
"Her first response is 'there's no real evidence of that.' Incredible. I say all the time: Trump's greatest accomplishment is not any particular policy, but revealing the corruption at the heart of our institutions," said J.D. Vance, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio.
"Ask yourself what else we're told today there's 'no evidence' for," a follow-up tweet read.
"Lesley Stahl tends to be surprised when her liberal contempt ruins her curiosity. She confessed in her memoir that she assumed [Ronald] Reagan was an uninvolved actor in his presidency. Then she saw all his paperwork," NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham tweeted on Sunday.

ICYMI: "Fast growing number of Democrats want Hillary Clinton investigated for her role in Russiagate"

Fast growing number of Democrats want Hillary Clinton investigated for her role in Russiagate
Revelations from the Durham report indicate Americans have reason to believe former first lady was heavily involved in establishing Russiagate narrative
An increasing number of Democrats believe Hillary Clinton should be investigated by special counsel John Durham in connection with her alleged involvement in manufacturing ties between 2016 presidential rival Donald Trump and the Russia, according to a recent survey.
The survey, by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics, found 75% of respondents who follow the story think Clinton and her campaign advisers should be investigated for her role in so-called Russiagate, according to several news reports.
Among them, 66% are Democrats – a 20-point rise from last October when the same question was asked.
About the same percentage of independent voters agreed that Clinton should be probed, and 91% of Republicans said the same.
The data was collected prior to last week's bombshell report from Durham that the Clinton campaign hired a tech firm to "infiltrate" servers at Trump Tower to try to tie the future president to Russia.
The aim of the mission, according to Durham, was to try to tarnish Trump's reputation by connecting him to the Russians.
Clinton's campaign repeatedly alleged that Trump and his campaign were in secret, close communication with Russian players to try to influence the outcome of the presidential race, though none of those claims were ever proven.
William Barr, a Trump administration attorney general, appointed Durham in December 2020 to act as a Justice Department special counsel investigating whether intelligence and law enforcement violated the law in probing the 2016 Trump campaign.
The Clinton campaign spying development is the latest revelation out of the special counsel investigation as it continues to probe the activities of former Perkins and Coie attorney Michael Sussman, who while at the Washington, D.C., firm was also law partners with Clinton campaign general counsel Mark Elias.
Sussman was indicted almost six months ago for allegedly lying to the FBI prior to the 2016 election about whether he was working for a client when he brought allegations to the bureau about Trump's links to the major private Russian financial institution Alfa-Bank.
Sussman denied he was working for anyone, including the campaign. He was indicted by a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in September 2021 for allegedly making a false statement to the FBI on Sept. 19, 2016, regarding alleged communications between the Trump Organization and Russian Bank.
Sussman pleaded not guilty, but further investigation appear to have led Durham to more possible evidence that the Clinton campaign spied on the Trump campaign in its efforts to establish the Russia-hoax.
The poll also indicated that Americans are looking to crack down on corruption within political families.
A little less than 70% of respondents said they believe President Biden's son, Hunter Biden and the president's brother, Jimmy Biden, be barred from participating in any business involving the Biden's administration.
Those parameters include discussing policy proposal with the president or his aides and taking government jobs or contracts.
Hunter Biden is under federal investigation for potential tax fraud.
The U.S. Attorney for Delaware recently subpoenaed bank records pertaining to him, his uncle and some of their business associates. The younger Biden insists he has handled his affairs "legally and appropriately."

Peter Sloly resigns as Ottawa's police chief as critics denounce his handling of convoy protest
>Sloly was accused of doing a poor job of handling allegations of misogyny and was known in policing circles as someone quick to resort to heavy-handed measures.
>About a month after he took the position, a report found that Ottawa police were stopping a disproportionate number of people of colour in traffic stops.
When you view people as the enemy, all you will ever find is fault.
Your mentality and group culture is the issue.
Police look for misery, cause misery and dwell in misery.
And you wonder why, you are a blight on society?
Time to clean and tidy your ship.

US asks Honduras to extradite former president Juan Orlando Hernández
The US has formally requested the extradition of former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández on drug trafficking charges, according to senior Honduran officials. The decision could launch potentially one of the highest-profile criminal cases against a former head of state in years. Hernández was once considered a US ally, and was president of the Central American country from 2014 until January 2022, when his party was unseated by Xiomara Castro, a leader of the opposition.

Ukraine: Russia says it is withdrawing some troops from the Ukraine border
Russia's defense ministry confirmed on Tuesday that some of the troops stationed on the country's border with Ukraine are returning to their bases after completing drills, Interfax news agency reports. The news agency added large-scale drills will continue across the country. It comes as President Joe Biden’s deputy principal press secretary said Russia has not moved to deescalate its presence on Ukraine’s border, where some 100,000 troops are massed. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz arrived in Moscow on Tuesday for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump Really Was Spied On
Durham says techies linked to the Clinton campaign had access to White House and Trump Tower internet data.
Special Counsel John Durham continues to unravel the Trump-Russia “collusion” story, and his latest court disclosure contains startling information. According to a Friday court filing, the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign effort to compile dirt on Donald Trump reached into protected White House communications.
The filing relates to Mr. Durham’s September indictment of Michael Sussmann, a lawyer who represented the Clinton campaign while he worked for the Perkins Coie law firm. Mr. Sussmann is accused of lying to the FBI at a September 2016 meeting when he presented documents claiming to show secret internet communications between the Trump Organization and Russia-based Alfa Bank. The indictment says Mr. Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was presenting this information solely as a good citizen—failing to disclose his ties to the Clinton campaign. (He has pleaded not guilty.)
