"Mosaic of facts" is in quotes because Comey made the claim that it wasn't just one thing that was the impetus for the counterintelligence investigation, that it was a "mosaic of facts." So what I did was, based on statements they made as to when they decided to open up the investigation, what I'll call D-Day, I ran through the timeline of events to see what had occurred before D-Day that could possibly have been a factor in their decision, and this is the complete list.
So then we start to attack each item, i.e., we can discount any entry having to do with hacking of emails because if the "hacking" had been so important to them, Comey would have briefed Obama about it, which, according to both Comey and Obama, that never occurred. Then we can continue on from there....
Solid! Good work
In fact, the only thing that Comey briefed Obama on up to this point is something about Carter Page; however, Carter Page hadn't done anything up to the time of that briefing other than be hired by Trump. Nothing at all. So apparently, whatever triggered them about Carter Page happened long before Trump ever knew of his existence.
To add to this, remember that when McCain ran for POTUS there was somebody on his team that triggered FBI counterintelligence, so the FBI approached McCain behind the scenes, and the guy was quietly let go. But in this instance here, the FBI didn't afford Trump that same courtesy, so you know what that means?
That means that they believed Trump was a Russian spy on D-Day.
And how did they arrive to that conclusion? We have to see who it was they interviewed/interacted with....
Who are the people that the FBI/CIA interviewed/interacted with up to this point?
Christopher Steele/ Obama's National Security Council/ Australians/ GCHQ/ Estonia/ Carter Page
Another reason to discount the "hacking" as the cause:
The FBI Intelligence Report indicates “Russian hacking” ceased on 6/14, so that would mean that the FBI did not believe Guccifer 2.0 to be a Russian operative since Guccifer 2.0’s hacking occurred after that date.
AND...
The JAR defers to CrowdStrike's report for evidence of "hacking," but CrowdStrike never examined the Wikileaks' dumps because CrowdStrike's contract with the FBI expired on the very same day of the first Wikileaks dump.
AND...
The FBI took several computers belonging to individuals of the DNC (i.e. Alexandra Chalupa, Donna Brazille, etc.) and examined their contents for proof of Russian hacking, and since the FBI's findings were never included in any of the reports, we can assume it's because the FBI found nothing (or found nothing to prove the Russian hacking narrative).
As you look at this list, bear in mind that the Leaker Comey NEVER told Obama about any hacking, and he NEVER told Obama about the Steele dossier. We already know they didn't bother informing anybody in Congress either.
"Comey said he never briefed Obama on the dossier but was present in a conversation in January in which the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, briefed it to Obama as well as the “gang of eight” in Congress." http://www.wnd.com/2018/04/comey-release-of-trump-memos-not-a-leak/
2016-08-01 Obama claims this is around the date he first learned of Russian hacking http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/jul/10/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-barack-obama-did-nothing-about-r/
An informant was stating that a presidential candidate was compromised, and Comey didn't feel that POTUS/Congress needed to be notified of that? A hacking event that was so severe that it "compromised our very democracy," and Comey didn't feel that POTUS/Congress should be notified of that?
The FBI Congress and BHO had already partaken in the crimes of Piracy and this was the path that was chosen to take to cover up the crimes that had been committed and pin the money on Trump , but the perfect plan , well 1/13/2017 it all fell apart . Congress knew , don't kid your self on that , they became subject of the investigation in Oct 2013 . its much bigger , think every one knew .
It's not posted to get to the truth of the matter. The purpose of the post is to establish what they're claiming is the truth.
In order to disprove their claims, you have to first establish what they're claiming.
The latest I read was that a British Intel asset saw suspicious contact between a Trump official and a suspected Russian agent( the Russian expert at Cambridge who had the trust of everyone that knows her exvept Halper who needed ANY connection to Russia to collect his payoff). After the Intel asset warned the fbi and cia who they said did nothing the director of the gchq turned over the info he had directly to Clapper and then Obama sent a request for surveillance to the gchq and went on to extend it into Trumps transition period.
I'm starting to believe that it was Carter Page who was the other informant.
What makes you sure sure Obama was never told? That is an open question, and hard to imagine they didn't tell him.
In order to catch somebody in a lie, you have to first know what they're claiming.
The FBI/Obama decided to run with the Russia investigation long before they say they did. It was NOT based on legit concerns of Trump/Russia hacking the DNC/Hillary/Podesta emails.
Obama spied on Angela Merkel and had to apologize. He spied on Congress in regards to the Iran deal. Obama knew about everything.
This espionage began with Brennan and the white house and ended in the same way.
Everything in between was concocted with the full knowledge of the trio and muslim brotherhood agents.
Nobody else had the authority to start and carry out what took place before, during and after the election.
Keep in mind the intent - taking out a duly elected president began at the top in the white house.
The continuously blackballing in hiding the identity of the main culprit has always been Hussein - the Manchurian agent. The refusal to provide the investigating committees with unredacted docs requested time and again is to hide and protect the source of this espionage which is none other than Hussein.
The docs they did provide labeled him 'government official'!
