"DIVIDE and CONQUER"
https://youtu.be/HlXXZQgh72Y
Rep. Elise M. Stefanik, R-Willsboro, asks questions during a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence hearing with FBI Director James Comey about an investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election and whether associates of President Donald Trump were in contact with Moscow.
♦ Notice how FBI Director James Comey just matter-of-factly explains no one outside the DOJ was informed about the FBI operation. Why?
Because that’s just the way things are done. His justification for unilateral operations was “because of the sensitivity of the matter“, totally ignoring any constitutional or regulatory framework for oversight; because, well, quite simply, there isn’t any.
The intelligence apparatus inside the DOJ/FBI can, and does, operate based on their own independent determinations of authority.
♦ Notice also how FBI Director Comey shares his perspective that informing the National Security Council (NSC) is the equivalent of notifying the White House.
The FBI leadership expressly believes they bear no responsibility to brief the Chief Executive. As long as they tell some unknown, unelected, bureaucratic entity inside the NSC, their unwritten responsibility to inform the top of their institutional silo is complete.
If the IC wants to carve out the Oval Office, they simply plant information inside the NSC and, from their perspective, their civic responsibility to follow checks and balances is complete.
This is an intentional construct.
♦ Notice how Comey obfuscates notification to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), by avoiding the fact James Clapper was the DNI from outset of the counterintelligence operation throughout the remainder of Obama’s term. When I get deeper into the process, we will understand how the Intelligence Branch has intentionally used the creation of the DNI position (established post 9/11/01) as a method to avoid oversight, not enhance it.
Keeping an oblivious doofus like James Clapper in the position held strategic value.
That video of James Comey being questioned by Elise Stefanik was the first example given to me by someone who knew the background of everything that was taking place preceding that March 20, 2017, hearing.
That FBI reference point is a key to understanding how the Intelligence Branch operates with unilateral authority above Congress (legislative branch), above the White House (executive branch), and even above the court system (judicial branch).
Also, watch this short video of James Clapper, because it is likely many readers have forgotten, and likely even more readers have never seen it. Watch closely how then-White House national security adviser John Brennan is responding in that video.
This is before Brennan became CIA Director, and this is when Brennan was helping Barack Obama put the pillars into place. WATCH: https://youtu.be/3Dd7dR-esLE
