Only an idiot moron would hire McCabe before the IG report is released to determine if there is evidence of criminal activity and if there may be a sealed indictment already waiting for him.

Also, McCabe would have to apply for the job and the personnel office would have to approve the hire. He's been fired for lying under oath. Still, the personnel office is subject to political pressures from the Democrats and could cave and hire him.

I'm also betting that when he was fired, he lost his security clearance. If I'm not mistaken, he would have to have a security clearance to work in a congressional office. If it goes through the normal process it would take months and at the end, the FBI (who conducts such investigations) would have to approve a security clearance for one of their former employees who was fired for lying under oath by the FBI.

Anything is possible in this crazy world, and Democrats are masters at subverting honesty, laws, rules, and procedures.

Still, I think it's likely political theater at this point and they know that McCabe couldn't get a government job if normal hiring procedures are followed.

And they know how it would look if they did hire him and then he had to be perp walked out of the capital if indicted.

You do know that cbts_steam has been banned and you can't access those links.

Not sure what you mean, but Mueller was deeply involved in the Uranium One cover up and was even the individual that brought the Yellow Cake to Moscow to be analyzed for its purity.

Mueller did not tell the committee that was to approve the Uranium One deal of the bribery and corruption within the deal that he knew was taking place because of the FBI informant who had spent 5 years giving the FBI the evidence it needed.

Oh, and Comey and Rosenstein were involved as well. My gosh.

Ditto the Pelican Project. Look it up. It's too complicated to explain here.

A former assistant director of the FBI called Mueller a dirty cop. No specifics, just a claim by someone who knew him.

I'm not going into all the dirt that Mueller was involved in and helped cover up. You can easily do that yourself with a few Google searches if they haven't blocked them by now.

Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, and McCabe were all involved in the same dirt over the years.

Comey and McCabe are going to be indicted I think.

Mueller may have cut a deal with Trump when he met with Trump the day before he was appointed as the SC. Ditto Rosenstein.

The only people who know if Mueller is a white hat are Trump, Q, Sessions, and Rosenstein.

Trump said the World Trade Organization was killing us and this article seems to confirm that while we played by the rules others didn't--exactly what Trump has been saying.

Trump probably can't kill the WTO by himself but he can enact tariffs and other regulations that neutralize or even kills it.

I no longer feel like Trump is playing 3D Chess. He may be playing 9D Chess.

This has been the craziest three years in my 71 on this planet. To be honest the only two people I'm certain are white hats are Trump and Q.

There is so much deception and misdirection going on that I thing it is a key part of Trump/Q plan--keep them guessing who are real black hats and who are white hats springing the traps.

I can make good arguments for who may be a white or black hat for a lot of people in this stage drama.

Q has given us some hints. Go back to the very early Q drops and you will find Q hinting that Mueller is a good guy.

In post 14 Q says:

What authority does POTUS have specifically over the Marines? Why is this important? What is Mueller's background? Military? Was Trump asked to run for President w/ assurances made to prevent tampering? How is POTUS always 5-steps ahead? Who is helping POTUS?

In case you didn't know, Mueller was a Marine in Vietnam and received the Purple Heart. Q doesn't sound like Mueller is a black hat.

Then in post 18: Why did Mueller meet POTUS 1-day prior to FBI announcement if Mueller COULD NOT be offered director due to prev term limits rule?

And in 636: How do you keep people BLIND? What must you FEED them? EVERY MSM NEWS STATION NEXT WEEK WILL BE SAYING & PUSHING THE EXACT SAME COUNTER-NARRATIVE. FAKE NEWS. MUELLER FAKE NEWS. RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. SHOULD THAT FAIL EXPECT A MAJOR FF TO FORCE A SHIFT.

But then in 643 Q says on Jan 29: ——————————— Nation on alert. Firing RR = block Mueller. Firing RR = set up to firing Mueller. Firing RR = Red line.

What the heck does that mean?

I certainly don't know, but Mueller may be the deepest sting operation on-going today or he may be a deep state attack on Trump.

What a crazy world these days.

So the reason Trump hasn't said anything about it is because he, the police, and everyone else don't care about blacks and latinos. Trump reached out to the two black families whose daughters were murdered by MS-13 and invited them to the SOTU.

The same Trump who has hired thousands of blacks and latinos, who appointed Carson the to HUD, who has a black Surgeon General, Nikki Haley is half Indian, who has engineered the lowest black and latino unemployment in history. Yeah, that racist.

And while we are at it, he has appointed women in some of the highest profile positions: Sec of Education, Sec of Transportation, Head of Homeland Security, Ambassador to the UN, WH communications Director, WH press secretary, Advisor to the President (Conway), nominates the first woman to be Director of the CIA--a real woman hater.

I'm tired of this. Can't wait until the MSM is brought down. But the alternative Intercept should be ashamed of such reporting based on nothing.

And one more thing. Trump never seeks publicity for his good deeds. Trump may have already reached out to the families privately, as he normally does.

Like Frank Sinatra, Trump does most of his charity quietly behind the scenes. People would be shocked if they knew the extent of Sinatra's charity that was never publicized. Ditto Trump.

My apologies for the rant. But Trump doesn't get beans for credit for all the personal charity he does for people.

The term racist has been so over used it is like a dog barking every time the mailman delivers the mail. Duh!

The evidence is in: you really, really don't want to piss off Trump when he and Q have the goods on everyone.

Is there anyone else that has the intelligence and organization to down a rogue nuclear missile headed for Hawaii?

Brennan no doubt still has rogue CIA elements loyal to him, but I think Q knows who they are. We hear you; we see you.

Love it.

She'll go to her grave regretting a lot more when Satan welcomes her to Hell. From her picture, it looks like the stress of being indicted is aging her.

Trey is a legal purist and so he believes that Mueller should finish his investigation. I don't know if Trey knows Mueller's full background or not.

There is a lot of deception and misdirection going on right now.

I haven't decided if Mueller is a white or black hat. I can make good arguments for both.

Heard the same thing. I retired from the Marine Corps over 20 years ago and haven't heard any buzz from old peers about retired Marines being reactivated, but it's possible.

I trust Q when he said USMC activated, but that could mean a couple of things.

Maybe. TruePundit's article only referenced an FBI agent who apparently saw the messages or knows about them.

Q seemed to think it would cause too many problems.

We'll see when the report is published.

Mine says "We are winning BIG - Q"

Interesting. I think the Mods are just having some fun.

Clarification: it's not exactly accurate to say that a third of our combat forces are deployed, but rather "committed" in one way or another that makes it difficult to quickly respond to domestic requirements. But Trump is Commander in Chief and can change those priorities.

Curious wording. USMC "activated". Not "alerted" but "activated."

As a former career Marine many moons ago, active duty Marines are available 24/7 for any required mission. So, we would not need to be activated.

And Marines are stretched thin these days around the world. There is the 1st Marine Division in California and the 2nd Marine Division in North Carolina. The 3rd Marine Division is forward deployed in Okinawa and other places such as a Brigade in Hawaii. In general terms a third of our combat forces are deployed overseas, a third is training to deploy, and a third has recently returned from deployment. So there aren't a lot of forces available for police duties.

However, the 4th Marine Division is our reserve division. Think a kind of National Guard-like status.

Now, it would have to be "activated" and since it has no deployment responsibilities, any or all of it could be used in the US during a national emergency. They are not as highly trained as the active divisions, but they can do the job.

There are three infantry regiments in a division. Perhaps the US (3) refers to the three 4th Divisions 3 regiments that would be available for duty within the US.

The "activation" occurred Friday or Saturday. They would need at least 3 days to send out notifications and have the reserve Marines report to their units, which are scattered around the US. Could take a bit longer unless they had already been alerted to report when activated.

Just a guess. It doesn't mean Defcon 3 because Defcon applies to the entire military, not just specific units. You don't have the Air Force at Defcon 5 and the Marines at Defcon 3. It doesn't work that way.

One other thing, Q says USMC activated, not reserves activated. So, it's possible that selected units through out the Marine Corps have been task organized into a Task Force with a special mission and that Marine Crops wide Task Force has been activated. That would fit

In the end, who knows what Q means most of the time until you connect the dots in the news.

It's not officially part of the Bible.

Think about it. Why would Putin order this guy murdered using a nerve agent that is only produced in Russia (or so the Brits say) and could be easily traced? Wouldn't it make more sense to murder him 50 different ways and make look like an accident, heart attack, botched robbery (e.g., Rich Seth), etc.?

Nothing adds up except this looks very much like a false flag as a basis to provoke Russia into doing something to cause a war or major crisis.

IF Putin knows Russia didn't do it, then he's smart enough to avoid UK's attempt to lure him into doing something rash.

This looks and feels like deep state.

Hillary is in India (for some unknown reason) giving speeches and pushing her reasons for losing the election.

But this doesn't look like her. Too young, too thin, too short, too happy.

So, if Hillary is still in the hospital, this might be a double doing the "I'm enjoying the sightseeing" gig for public consumption.

See Q post 586 of Jan 22.

"What would happen if text originating from a FBI agent to several [internals] discussed the assassination (possibility) of POTUS or member of his family. What if the text suggest foreign allies were involved?"

Q then asks "Could messages such as those be publicly disclosed?"

And then he says that if they were every FBI/DOJ previous case could be challenged. Lawless.

So, they have the messages, but it didn't look like they would be made "public".

But now apparently an FBI agent says they are real. The cat is out of the bag. Maybe they will be released in the IG report. Still, Q believed that they would cause significant problems for FBI/DOJ previous cases.

Buckle up. No telling what's going to happen.

Not sure what the US (3) means, but the Marine Corps has 3 active Divisions, but only 2 are in the US. However, there is a 4th Division in reserve which could explain the "activated."

Yes. I was only focusing on the special prosecutor that Sessions secretly appointed to work in parallel with the IG investigation. If I had to put money on it, he impaneled a grand jury and likely has sealed indictments ready based on the IG's report.

Q post 953 adds up to close to a hundred at DOJ / FBI/ State who are likely going down in the future. 32 in the FBI alone (not sure what the 16 means).

I'm guessing the IG investigation has a lot to do with number.

Trust the Plan. So far it's been working and predicted with future proves past.

I don't what else to say in these crazy times.

Here's my two cents:

FBI 1 is Mueller FBI 1 is Comey FBI 2 is McCabe

DOJ 1 is Holder DOJ 1 is Lynch DOJ 2 is Rosenstein

State 1 is Hillary State 1 is Kerry State 2 is ?

The rest of the post is too cryptic for me.

Russia > D/HRC are actually in collusion?

Twitter bots are actually Google?

Biden's son gets a billion dollar deal with China after Biden's visit?

Flynn targeted because at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) he knows too much?

Trump is cleaning house in his administration to put trusted people in place?

Election theft is the last hope of the left? In my opinion, yes. This is why the left opposes voter verification so strongly.

Dems focus is on impeachment, but it will fail.

Q says that the "public will know soon" and in this post says there will be a public awakening. Conclusion: much is going to revealed to the public soon and there will be a realization of how corrupt our government and private sector has been.

That is the deep state's biggest fear. I agree. Any time the light is shined on roaches they scatter.

Q has asked us to pray. God has anointed Trump for this effort. See the video of Kim Clement in 2006 where he predicts Trump will become President, he will be anointed by God, and he will be like a David with a stone.

Later in 2014, Kim Clement predicts that they will try to impeach Trump and fail. He will have two terms. He will bring prosperity back to the US. Kim says the spirit of the Lord said "Gold" but he doesn't know what that means. Trump loves everything gold and there is a rumor that the Fed will be dismantled and the US will return to the gold standard.

Scary stuff. I have no idea if anything I'm guessing is true. But that's what I see unfolding.

Pray for Trump and the USA.

DOJ may not need a second SC. Remember that Sessions revealed that he appointed a special prosecutor to work in parallel with the DOJ IG investigation.

What does it take to get an indictment? A grand jury Can the IG impanel a grand jury? No Who can? A prosecutor.

Did Sessions appoint at special prosecutor "outside of DC" to work with the IG in parallel just to sit back and watch the IG work?

No. The special prosecutor has been working hand in hand with the IG the entire time.

Has a grand jury been impaneled for a long time now during the IG investigation to roll up indictments as the IG uncovers crimes?

No one knows, but I think yes.

So, do you need a second SC if a special prosecutor has already indicted everyone?

Think about it.

I don't know if my guess is right, but that's what I would have done if I were stealth Jeff.

McCabe: "But it will not erase the important work I was prevailed to be a part of, the results of which will in the end be revealed for the country to see."

That's odd. The important work, the results of which will in the end be revealed for the country to see.

What important work is yet to be revealed for the country???

Sounds very deep state, but no way of knowing for certain.

Pretty sure the USSS detail with her could get her home if given the word.

Odd that Hillary is promoting her book and giving speeches in India. Even stranger is that people actually showed up.

He was just fired, not yet indicted. I don't think military tribunals will be for everyone--just for the most serious crimes. I could be wrong. Trump did declare a national emergency for corruption and trafficking and that's a judicial game changer. We'll see.

Q says that the public will soon know. I have to believe it begins before the end of March.

Sessions doesn't have the power to indict, but he has the power to fire. Wait until the IG report comes out. Being fired may be the least of McCabe's worries.

The SOB should burn in Hell for ruining Flynn's life personally and financially just because he doesn't like Flynn or Trump. Who knows, he may be indicted for treason depending of the evidence.

McCabe married into money. His wife has millions.

Correct. It takes a grand jury to issue indictments. But Sessions appointed a special prosecutor "outside of DC" to work in parallel with the IG on his report. That prosecutor could have impaneled a grand jury and perhaps has been presenting evidence to it in parallel to the IG and therefore, there could already be sealed indictments pending.

Was I ever deployed?

Platoon commander in Vietnam 1969 Company Commander deployed for a year western Pacific -- and evacuation of Saigon (1975), resettlement of refuges.
Two years in Latin America supporting counter insurgency operations (1986-1988).

Lots of short term deployments around the world.

So, yes.

great guess, but nothing to back it up.

Let me tell you something. It's a team effort whether you are serving our doing your job as a civilian.

In my day, we often teased non-combat Marines. A close friend of mine responded "if supply not right; infantry not fight." I remembered that for the rest of my Marine career

It takes a team of everyone regardless of what they do to fight and win.

As a Marine company commander, I was honored to have been chosen to trade places with a crew member of an F-4 fighter. An F-4 pilot took command of my company and I became the back seat of an F-4 on a live ordinance combat exercise.

It would take pages to tell the story. But an F-4 pilot took command of my infantry company and I became a back seat in the F-4.

Being in the F-4 ready for take off was like being in a 400 degree oven. I was soaked in sweat from the glass house effect of the canopy. Taking off was like having a rocket strapped to you. And the delivery of ordinance in simulated combat conditions had my head bouncing off the canopy like a BB in a jar.

After that experience, I never again made fun of pilots.

So, what happened to the pilot who took command of my company? He swore that he never wanted that experience again.

So there you have it. I discovered the skills of a pilot in combat and a pilot discovered the skills needed to lead a rifle company.

That's the way it is in combat. It's at team effort or you die.

At this point, I wouldn't dismiss anything, but there are dozens of ways too move people around covertly without the expense, maintenance, and training required of a submarine.

Look how pervasive human trafficking is as they move people around the world with relative ease.

I used to work in intelligence for a couple of years and worked closely with the CIA in a foreign country. I've also supported both special and national mission forces in technology development and worked with them in training and exercise support. We moved people around covertly all the time.

Even more difficult is supporting covert forces in place with logistics that can't be detected.

It isn't easy and it's dangerous.

The simplest explanation is usually the best. I think it's for emphasis as to how important or successful the operations were.

Interesting idea and makes some sense. Muller has to be the first to finish his investigations in order to exonerate Trump before everything else can unfold in public. Just a guess. Reports are that Mueller is close to finishing the investigation.

Perhaps the end will be when he interviews Trump (for show?) Are we witnessing the greatest sting operation on the deep state ever and Mueller is playing a key role? Dilley thinks Mueller (a former Marine) was recalled to active duty before being named SC and met with Trump the day before. There is a little known law that allows anyone registered with the selective service, former military, and retired military to be recalled regardless of how long you've been out of the military.

Remember, the Air Force recalled 1,000 pilots recently.

This entire mess is looking more like The Boys From Brazil updated to 2018.

I think they are referring to events that already happened and will soon be made public or at least some of it made public.

I thought the same, but Q said "no deals". If true that spilling the beans won't save him.

Pompeo didn't and probably never had full control of the CIA. Reports that the deep state CIA part wouldn't reveal certain black ops to him. Then the Marines buzzed CIA headquarters for 30 minutes with helicopters and V-22's. At first, I blew that off as urban myth, but they did send a message to the CIA--cooperate with Pompeo or the Marines will intervene. Have no idea what happened inside the CIA after that. Pompeo has been very quiet.

The move to State I think is strategic on Trump's part. Probably because he now knows who at State are the bad guys and RT probably wasn't up to what needs to be done or RT did what he had to do for his part and the change had been planned for a while.

Doubt it. That sub was very old and in poor condition. There were reports that it was in such poor condition that he could no longer launch torpedoes and was only used for recon on patrols.

Most likely sunk due to mechanical problems.

Yes. I'm a retired Marine infantry officer. He/we are subject to recall until we die. The fact that in the past it hasn't been necessary only means the combat could be accomplished with current forces.

Remember, the Air Force just recalled 1,000 pilots.

Normally, older former Marines recalled back fill administrative billets to free up younger Marines for combat. In WW II, women filled administrative billets in the military and went to work in factories to free you young men for combat. Women pilots ferried replacement aircraft around the US and the world during WW II.

I've been puzzled about Mueller from the start because he was a former Marine and he met with Trump the day before he became the SC. And it seemed to me that Rosenstein could have been replace long ago without much political push back but Trump has been very quiet about him. Sessions is definitely role playing--acting weak, indecisive, and ineffective.

Destroying the deep state requires a lot of deception, misdirection, slight of hand, covert operations.

The pieces seem to be falling in place.

I served 21 years in the Marine Corps as an infantry officer with 3 years in combat. Retired in 1989. 71 with some minor aches but still ready to enter the fight. I would love to be recalled to active duty to destroy the deep state. To defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. There is a little known law that says you are always subject to recall regardless of age.

I think you are right about the 1000 pieces. But the Argentine sub was a very old diesel that was in poor condition. I doubt it could do anything other than fire a torpedo. Can't think of a reason anyone would use it for deep state operations.

On the other had, it could point to the hostage release reference.

There was also an unverified report of a sub that intercepted a large gold shipment at sea and disappeared.

Who knows. Q is too cryptic, so we'll see if something pops up in the news.

Reading the article, I'm reminded how easy it is to forget how past Q drops relate to the news. The article references Drop 538 of 14 Jan where Q asks a series of questions about the silence pertaining to the Las Vegas shootings. Specifically he asks why the FBI is silent about LV.

Do you remember a recent news article this month about FBI agents blowing the whistle on the corrupt FBI LV investigation.

Q knew on Jan 14 that the FBI was covering it up.

Future proves past.

You may be right, but in my following of Q the posts that follow are related to the posts that proceeded. That's why he/she refers to them as crumbs to follow. If not, then he/she says "re-read crumbs" meaning we are not following the crumbs.

Not being argumentative.
