A miasma of consternation lay heavy across the Potomac swamp
late last week when former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe was let off
the hook for lying to his own bureau while, elsewhere across DC, the
distinguished Lt. General Flynn was still fighting for his life against
exactly the same charge after three years of dilatory maneuvers
by the DOJ to conceal their prosecutorial malfeasance in the case… and
then the sketchy Roger Stone matter entered a twilight zone of
jiggery-pokery that appeared to climax in a staged ruse by his four
prosecutors to lure the Attorney General, Mr. Barr, into a trap.
You are forgiven for failing to follow all the twists and turns in this latest installment of what might now be called CoupGate, a summation of the seditious campaign to overthrow the president, which already has gone through so many gates — SpyGate, RussiaGate, MuellerGate, UkraineGate, WhistleblowerGate
— that Mr. Trump looks like he’s spent three years training for the
giant slalom in the next winter Olympics. A localized Civil War is
underway in the Department of Justice now. Mr. Barr is in the middle,
getting it from both sides.
The AG has apparently partitioned the DOJ into two separate realms:
the now-identified corps of coupsters working desperately to keep their
asses covered in an unraveling conspiracy, and Mr. Barr’s group
attempting to account fairly for all that has happened, while salvaging
what’s left of the outfit’s institutional legitimacy. Too much
documented evidence of crime is out there in the public domain
to dismiss these activities as a “conspiracy theory.” The trouble is, so
many were involved from so many branches and agencies, that fully
prosecuting every angle of it could bring down the permanent bureaucracy
like the Jenga tower it has become.
The decision to let Mr. McCabe skate on the lying rap
infuriated those demanding accountability for government
lawyers-gone-wild, since even the DOJ Inspector General, Mr.
Horowitz, cited serial instances of his “lacking candor” in more than
one report, and “Andy” seems to have been a pivot-man for the FBI in the
early-and-middle phases of the coup — along with his DOJ counterpart,
former Deputy Attorney General Rod (“I’ll wear a wire”) Rosenstein.
I have a theory about the McCabe case: The Attorney General
has taken the rinky-dink “lying to the FBI” charge off the table. It has
become a liability, virtually the emblem for government misconduct,
and Mr. Barr is getting rid of it in these matters. It has already
caused too much mischief, insulted Americans’ sense of justice, and
damaged the DOJ’s standing. Note, Andrew McCabe has been let off only on this charge, stemming from only one
particular IG referral; he may well yet be liable for more serious
charges-to-come. From here on, there will be no more rinky-dink lying
charges against any of those implicated in the coup, only the most
serious charges, and only those that add up to a solid case.
For instance, there is the Intel Mob, including
former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intel
(DNI) James Clapper, current Intel IG Michael Atkinson, so-called
whistleblower (he that cannot be named, E*** C**********) and International Man of Mystery Joseph Mifsud.
There is gang from the State Department who helped engineer UkraineGate,
including former Ambassador Marie Yovanovich, former Sec’y of State
John Kerry, and others. There is that big herd of rogue lawyers in the
DOJ and its stepchild, the FBI, the names widely disseminated by now,
Comey, Strzok, Baker, Boente, Carlin, Clinesmith, et. al.
There’s Robert Mueller and his henchpersons, Andrew Weissmann, Jeannie Rhee, et. al.
There’s another a band of seditionists in Congress
that includes Mark Warner of the Senate Intel Committee, the now
notorious idiot Adam Schiff over in the House, and staffers who worked
for both.
There’s a bunch in the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment
that paid over a million dollars to Alternate International Man of
Mystery (actually, CIA asset) Stefan Halper to run entrapment schemes
against people working for Mr. Trump.
There’s a swarm from Barack Obama’s White House,
including Valarie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, Alexandra
Chalupa, former Vice-President Joe Biden and the former President
himself.
And finally, there is the 800-pound-gorilla over in the
Democratic Party thicket, namely Hillary Clinton, and those connected to
her and her charity fraud, the Clinton Foundation, which is
the real and actual predicate for the whole sordid affair — a list that
includes Viktor Vekselberg of Russia’s Skolkovo Project, $25-million
donor Russian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, Russian aluminum magnate Oleg
Deripaska, and Dmitri Alperovich of CrowdStrike, (Russian collusion,
anyone?) as well as rascally freelancers such as Christopher Steele,
Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, lawyer / Lobbyist Adam Waldman, and Hillary
errand boys Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer. The stories behind those names are all over the web, in case you want edify yourself.
Now, perhaps, you can see the scope of this big hot mess, and
deduce the degree of difficulty that William Barr faces in attempting
to set it all straight. He has to carefully select those who
will be charged and probably not bother with some of the bit players.
The charges are going to have to be serious, and the cases must be
strong. It is a gigantic job of work, and rather delicate business
considering the explosive potential to a government whose credibility is
already pretty shredded. Failure to attend to it may turn a mere
bureaucratic civil war into a genuine citizen rebellion featuring some
of the 300-million-odd firearms at large in the republic.
I believe Mr. Barr is aware of what’s at stake and will behave honorably.
The [DS]/D's
are struggling with the fake impeachment, they did not prove their case,
actually the opposite happened, they introduced evidence against, JB,
Crowdstrike, Ukraine and election interference and now the patriots can
use this against them. Graham was activated, its time, the signal that
the declas is coming just went out, it's all about to happen.

Whistleblower Aid, a small nonprofit helping the lawyers for the
so-called whistleblower at the center of the impeachment movement
targeting President Donald Trump, is heavily tied to far-left activist
organizations and Democratic politics.
One of the co-founders of Whistleblower Aid previously worked at
several liberal activist organizations financed by billionaire activist
and Democratic Party megadonor George Soros. The other co-founder
currently leads a separate organization that boasts on its four-person
advisory board John Podesta, who led Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential
campaign, served as Chief of Staff to Bill Clinton and founded the
Soros-funded Center for American Progress pushing a progressive agenda.
Working with the so-called DC whistleblower’s lawyers, Whistleblower Aid set up a GoFundMe page
seeking to raise funds for the purported whistleblower’s defense. The
page already brought in some $206,225 with a goal of raising $300,000.
John Tye, co-founder of Whistleblower Aid, told Fox News that he is working with the so-called whistleblower’s lawyers at the Compass Rose Legal Group.
“We are very proud to be supporting this whistleblower. It is a very stressful thing to be a whistleblower,” he said.
Tye did not immediately return a Breitbart News interview request.
Anti-Trump language scrubbed
Whistleblower Aid was founded in September 2017 in the wake of Trump’s presidency to encourage government whistleblowers to come forward.
When Whistleblower Aid was first formed, the main banner for the mission statement of its website contained clearly anti-Trump language.
“Today our Republic is under threat. Whistleblower Aid is committed
to protecting the rule of law in the United States and around the
world,” read the previous statement which can still be viewed via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
That part of the mission statement received attention in the conservative media.
The sentence “today our Republic is under threat,” has since been
scrubbed from the website. The mission statement now only reads,
“Whistleblower Aid is committed to protecting the rule of law in the
United States and around the world.”
Speaking to the Washington Post just after Whistleblower Aid’s founding, co-founder Tye claimed, “This is not a partisan effort,” and then went on to express seemingly partisan alarm about Trump.
Tye continued,“At the same time, yes, the rule of law starts with
the office of the president. Like many other people, we are definitely
concerned about things that are happening in the administration. The
decision to fire [FBI Director] James Comey. The lack of transparency. A
lot of people have questions about whether this administration respects
the rule of law.”
Upon its founding, Whistleblower Aid actively sought to attract the attention of Trump administration government employees by reportedly
blasting advertisements for its whistleblower services on Metro trains,
using mobile billboards that circled government offices for 10 hours a
day, and handing out whistles on street corners as a gimmick to gain
attention.
Far-left ties, Democrat links
Tye himself is a whistleblower. He is a former State Department
official who went public in 2014 about U.S. government electronic
surveillance practices.
Tye’s bio on Whistleblower Aid’s website brandishes his work for far-left groups.
The bio reads:
Mr. Tye has worked at the Southern Poverty Law Center,
Avaaz, and also Southeast Louisiana Legal Services as a Skadden Fellow.
He was on the board of directors of the American Civil Liberties Union
of Louisiana.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is known for its anti-conservative stance and controversially publishes a “hate map” listing
groups that warn about radical Islam such as Jihad Watch, the Clarion
Project, the Center for Security Policy. On that same “hate map” are
racist extremist organizations like Global Crusaders: Order of the Ku
Klux Klan and United Klans of America.
Tye’s other former employer, the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU), is financed heavily by Soros and is known for its hyper-partisan
liberal activism.
Avaaz, a radical group where Tye served as campaign and legal director, describes itself as a “global web movement to bring people-powered politics to decision-making everywhere.” The group has repeatedly engaged in anti-Israel activism.
Channeling the mantra of radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, Avaaz says it aims to “organize citizens of all nations to close the gap
between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want.”
Avaaz was founded in 1997 by the Soros-funded, partisan MoveOn.org organization and by the Soros-funded Res Publica activist group.
Tax forms from Soros’s Open Society document donations to Res Publica specifically earmarked for support to Avaaz. Res Publica oversees Avaaz activism.
The same year that Whistleblower Aid was founded, Avaaz’s former general counsel and campaign director, Ian Bassin, in 2017 formed
United to Protect Democracy. The latter is a grouping of former top
lawyers for the Obama administration working to utilize legal advocacy
methods to oppose Trump’s policies.
Bassin’s United to Protect Democracy works in partnership with the
Brennan Center for Justice, located at NYU School of Law. The Brennan
Center is heavily financed by Soros’s Open Society Foundations and is the recipient of numerous Open Society grants.
Whistleblower Aid, meanwhile, was co-founded by attorney Mark S. Zaid.
Zaid doubles as Executive Director and founder of the James Madison
Project, which says it seeks to promote government accountability. John
Podesta is a member of the Project’s four-person advisory board.
Common funding themes
Whistleblower Aid’s ties to Soros funding and far-left groups
furthers a theme of such organizations being closely linked to numerous
aspects of the so-called whistleblower’s complaint.
Some of those common threads run through an organization repeatedly
relied upon in the so-called whistleblower’s complaint and are tied to
CrowdStrike, the outside firm utilized to conclude that Russia hacked
the Democratic National Committee’s servers since the DNC would not
allow the U.S. government to inspect the servers.
CrowdStrike founder Dmitri Alperovitch is a nonresident senior fellow of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council.
The Atlantic Council is funded
by and works in partnership with Burisma, the natural gas company at
the center of allegations regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Breitbart News reported
that a staffer for Rep. Adam Schiff’s House Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence took a trip to Ukraine last month sponsored and
organized by the Atlantic Council think tank. Schiff’s office denied any
impropriety.
The Schiff staff member, Thomas Eager, is also currently a fellow at
the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Congressional Fellowship. Burisma in
January 2017 signed a “cooperative agreement” with the Council to sponsor the organization’s Eurasia Center.
Besides Burisma funding, the Council is also financed by Google as
well as Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund,
Inc. and the U.S. State Department.
Google Capital also led a $100 million funding drive that financed Crowdstrike directly.
Google, Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Rockefeller Fund and an
agency of the State Department each also finance a self-described
investigative journalism organization repeatedly referenced as a source
of information in the so-called whistleblower’s complaint alleging Trump
was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a
foreign country” in the 2020 presidential race.
The charges in the July 22 report referenced in the so-called
whistleblower’s document and released by the Google and Soros-funded
organization, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project
(OCCRP), seem to be the public precursors for a lot of the so-called
whistleblower’s own claims, as Breitbart News documented.
One key section of the so-called whistleblower’s document claims that
“multiple U.S. officials told me that Mr. Giuliani had reportedly
privately reached out to a variety of other Zelensky advisers, including
Chief of Staff Andriy Bohdan and Acting Chairman of the Security
Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov.”
This was allegedly to follow up on Trump’s call with Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky in order to discuss the “cases” mentioned
in that call, according to the so-called whistleblower’s narrative. The
complainer was clearly referencing Trump’s request for Ukraine to
investigate the Biden corruption allegations.
Even though the statement was written in first person – “multiple
U.S. officials told me” – it contains a footnote referencing a report by
the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
That footnote reads:
In a report published by the Organized Crime and
Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) on 22 July, two associates of Mr.
Giuliani reportedly traveled to Kyiv in May 2019 and met with Mr.
Bakanov and another close Zelensky adviser, Mr. Serhiy Shefir.
The so-called whistleblower’s account goes on to rely upon that same OCCRP report on three more occasions. It does so to:
Write that Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko “also stated
that he wished to communicate directly with Attorney General Barr on
these matters.”
Document that Trump adviser Rudi Giuliani “had spoken in late 2018
to former Prosecutor General Shokin, in a Skype call arranged by two
associates of Mr. Giuliani.”
Bolster the charge that, “I also learned from a U.S. official that
‘associates’ of Mr. Giuliani were trying to make contact with the
incoming Zelenskyy team.” The so-called whistleblower then relates in
another footnote, “I do not know whether these associates of Mr.
Giuliani were the same individuals named in the 22 July report by OCCRP,
referenced above.”
The OCCRP report
repeatedly referenced is actually a “joint investigation by the
Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and BuzzFeed
News, based on interviews and court and business records in the United
States and Ukraine.”
BuzzFeed infamously also first published
the full anti-Trump dossier alleging unsubstantiated collusion between
Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia. The dossier was paid for by
Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee and was
produced by the Fusion GPS opposition dirt outfit.
The OCCRP and BuzzFeed “joint investigation” resulted in both OCCRP
and BuzzFeed publishing similar lengthy pieces on July 22 claiming that
Giuliani was attempting to use connections to have Ukraine investigate
Trump’s political rivals.
The so-called whistleblower’s document, however, only mentions the
largely unknown OCCRP and does not reference BuzzFeed, which has faced
scrutiny over its reporting on the Russia collusion claims.
Another listed OCCRP funder is the Omidyar Network, which is the nonprofit for liberal billionaire eBay founder Pierre Omidyar.
Together with Soros’s Open Society, Omidyar also funds
the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, which hosts the International
Fact-Checking Network that partnered with Facebook to help determine
whether news stories are “disputed.”
Like OCCRP, the Poynter Institute’s so-called news fact-checking project is openly funded by not only Soros’ Open Society Foundations but also Google and the National Endowment for Democracy.
CrowdStrike and DNC servers
CrowdStrike, meanwhile, was brought up by Trump in his phone call with Zelensky.
According to the transcript, Trump told Zelensky, “I would like you
to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they
say CrowdStrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people…The
server, they say Ukraine has it.”
In his extensive report,
Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller notes that his investigative team did
not “obtain or examine” the servers of the DNC in determining whether
those servers were hacked by Russia.
The DNC famously refused to allow the FBI to access its servers to
verify the allegation that Russia carried out a hack during the 2016
presidential campaign. Instead, the DNC reached an arrangement with the
FBI in which CrowdStrike conducted forensics on the server and shared
details with the FBI.
In testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee in January 2017, then-FBI Director James Comey confirmed
that the FBI registered “multiple requests at different levels,” to
review the DNC’s hacked servers. Ultimately, the DNC and FBI came to an
agreement in which a “highly respected private company”—a reference to
CrowdStrike—would carry out forensics on the servers and share any
information that it discovered with the FBI, Comey testified.
A senior law enforcement official stressed the importance of the FBI
gaining direct access to the servers, a request that was denied by the
DNC.
“The FBI repeatedly stressed to DNC officials the necessity of
obtaining direct access to servers and data, only to be rebuffed until
well after the initial compromise had been mitigated,” the official was
quoted by the news media as saying.
“This left the FBI no choice but to rely upon a third party for
information. These actions caused significant delays and inhibited the
FBI from addressing the intrusion earlier,” the official continued. Aaron Klein is Breitbart’s Jerusalem bureau chief and
