stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-07--Seth Rich: The Murder Washington Doesn’t Want Solved

( Jack Cashill ) On the face of things , the July 2016 murder of Seth Rich had intrigue enough for a full season of House of Cards .
Related Latest Document Dump by Dni Ratcliffe Shows Hillary Camp Likely Hatched Plot on Russia Two Weeks after Seth Rich Murder and 4 Days after Wikileaks Release Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington , D.C. , street and take nothing .
Two weeks later , international man of mystery Julian Assange strongly suggests on Dutch TV that Rich was his source for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic Party and offers a $ 20,000 reward to find the killer .
Three days before the November election , Assange reportedly tells liberal media analyst Ellen Ratner that Rich was indeed his source .
Days after Trump ’ s inauguration , legendary investigative journalist Sy Hersh cites an FBI report confirming Assange ’ s claim .
Later that year , DNC honcho Donna Brazile dedicates her book Hacks to Rich and wonders out loud whether the Russians had “ played some part in his unsolved murder.
” Despite the stakes — the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s outcome — there was to be no TV series about Rich ’ s life and death , no movie , no serious books , not even a single episode of Unsolved Mysteries or 48 Hours .
Incredibly , no major publication or network save for Fox News has even attempted to resolve the still unsolved murder , and Fox execs rather wish they hadn ’ t .
To understand how a story this potentially explosive could be suppressed for so long , it is necessary to understand one basic fact of Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent of the District ’ s vote in the 2016 election .
Trump ’ s election disrupted short-term strategies and long-term expectations in every one of the capital ’ s major institutions , local and federal , public and private , the legal community among them .
According to Hersh , Trump was a “ circuit breaker , ” one who made a whole lot of enemies .
Those enemies , as we have seen , would go to great lengths to discredit Trump and anyone associated with him .
The pressure they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who want to tell the truth remains formidable .
Instead of a serious investigation by either police or reporters , the Seth Rich case generated a dumpster-full of frivolous lawsuits .
These suits have had the result , likely intended , of silencing those who would dare to investigate Rich ’ s demise .
All too predictably , the media have heaped abuse on the investigators and cheered on the litigators .
Prominent among the private citizens who asked questions is Ed Butowsky , a Republican wealth manager from Texas .
“ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ I had no idea how big the other side is , and they are completely after me.
” Once he started inquiring into Rich ’ s death , said Butowsky , “ everything just turned to crap.
” Butowsky stumbled into his role as sleuth .
Through his occasional TV appearances , Butowsky met Ellen Ratner , a friend of Assange .
Her late brother Michael Ratner had been one of the American lawyers for the fugitive WikiLeaks founder .
On the day after the election , Ratner lobbed a grenade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Florida ’ s Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University .
“ I spent three hours with Julian Assange on Saturday at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London , ” Ratner volunteered midway through the event .
“ One thing he did say was the leaks were not from , they were not from the Russians .
They were an internal source from the Hillary campaign or from somebody that knew Hillary , an enemy.
” If the grenade had detonated , Ratner would have blown a hole in a collusion plot that centered on the presumed Russian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the plotters , Ratner ’ s self-involved fellow panelists skipped over her comments , and the video of the event passed into the ether all but unseen .
According to a complex , multi-party defamation suit Butowsky filed in 2019 , Butowsky learned of the Assange revelation from Ratner herself .
She contacted him after the meeting and added the critical detail that Seth Rich was Assange ’ s source .
On December 17 , Butowsky contacted Rich ’ s parents , Joel and Mary Rich .
He felt sorry for the Riches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the D.C. Police or the FBI .
In addition , as Ratner reportedly told him , Assange had requested that the parents be made aware of Seth ’ s role , a material fact in the search for their son ’ s killers .
According to Butowsky , Joel Rich told him he knew that Seth and his older brother Aaron were involved with the DNC email leak .
Joel chose not to go public lest people think his sons were “ responsible for getting Trump elected.
” Although the Riches would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claims , no one disputes his offer to hire a private investigator for the Riches or their acceptance of that offer .
In the ensuing days , Ratner ’ s public silence frustrated Butowsky .
On December 29 , 2016 , he sent an email to Ratner saying , “ If the person you met with truly said what he did , is their [ sic ] a reason you we aren ’ t reporting it ?
” That same day , Ratner responded , “ because— it was a family meeting—- I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his new lawyer , my sister-in-law.
” Butowsky had one other lively source of information .
In January 2017 , he recorded a phone conversation with the profane and refreshingly candid Pulitzer Prize–winner Sy Hersh .
As Hersh related , the D.C. Police called in the FBI when its cyber unit failed to open Rich ’ s computer .
The FBI ’ s “ hot s— ” cyber team succeeded and filed a report .
According to that report , Rich “ submitted a series of juicy emails from the DNC ” to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for money in exchange for more emails Eager for confirmation , Butowsky asked Hersh if he had seen the FBI report himself .
Hersh admitted he had not .
He explained that he had someone on the inside who had seen it , and that person , over the years , had proved “ unbelievably accurate ” in providing Hersh information .
Although not an ardent Trump fan — he donated to Obama in 2007 and initially supported Carly Fiorina in 2016 — Butowsky thought the media were screwing the new president over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s not wrong to think they all lied about him , ” he said .
“ I have a narrative of how that whole f—— [ Russia collusion ] thing began .
It ’ s a [ CIA director John ] Brennan operation .
American disinformation.
” For the next several months , Butowsky worked behind the scenes helping Fox News try to shed light on Rich ’ s death .
On May 16 , 2017 , a report by Malia Zimmerman was published on the Fox News website headlined “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , investigator says.
” A book could be written about the unraveling of the Fox story , but , in brief , Butowsky went wrong by hiring the investigator in question , former D.C. homicide detective Rod Wheeler .
Wheeler ’ s quickly proven deceptions forced Fox to retract the story .
New York attorney Douglas Wigdor was the one person to sense Wheeler ’ s real potential .
“ Wigdor is the central point of all this , ” Butowsky told me .
Although his name seems to have been lifted from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all business .
On August 1 , 2017 , his law firm filed a suit on behalf of Wheeler against Butowsky , Fox News , and Zimmerman .
In the suit Wheeler claimed that Zimmerman had misquoted him to “ establish that Seth Rich provided WikiLeaks with the DNC emails to shift blame away from Russia.
” The news of the lawsuit cheered the hearts of reporters everywhere except Fox .
Most in the media failed to notice that a week after suing on behalf of Wheeler , Wigdor sent a letter to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wheeler suit as a reason to block the purchase of Britain ’ s Sky Television by Fox News ’ s parent company , 21st Century Fox .
If no one else in the media noticed , the smear artists at Media Matters certainly did .
Its president , Angela Carusone , sent a lengthy letter to Ofcom confirming that Fox “ exhibited tacit support for politically motivated misinformation.
” Butowsky argues that the Wheeler suit was a setup for Wigdor “ to extort money from Fox.
” As I document in my book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tell the True Story of a Failed Presidency , the media routinely defamed citizens — from Joe the Plumber to James O ’ Keefe — who attempted to thwart their narrative .
NPR ’ s lengthy hit piece on Butowsky is a classic in the genre .
In the report produced on August 17 , 2017 , NPR ’ s David Folkenflik does not so much as mention Wigdor , let alone his maneuvering against Fox News .
Instead , he does a dumpster dive into Butowsky ’ s past .
His not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pseudo-journalism is that a man who would fudge his academic credentials , however trivially , could not be trusted to tell the truth about Seth Rich .
Folkenflik adds not a whit of new information about the death of Seth Rich .
He assures his audience a year after the murder that the D.C. Police “ believed [ Rich ’ s ] shooting was the result of a botched armed robbery.
” Believed ?
That ’ s it ?
Folkenflik also fails to mention Ellen Ratner .
At the expense of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to reveal her role .
Ratner repaid him .
In March 2018 , two weeks after Joel and Mary Rich sued Butowsky , et al .
for “ emotional distress , ” Ratner wrote an article for WorldNetDaily titled “ I love my conservative friends !
” She specifically cites Butowsky , “ the man involved in the Seth Rich controversy.
” Ratner adds coyly , “ Some say he had the secrets of the Democratic National Committee , and some think he was just murdered.
” On August 2 , 2018 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the suits brought both by the Riches and by Wheeler .
Judge George Daniels was particularly cool to Wheeler , ruling that he failed to prove he had been misquoted and “ had also given his tacit consent to the article ’ s publication.
” Aaron Rich has sued Butowsky as well .
Fed up with the harassment , Butowsky fired back with his own suit in March 2019 .
In July 2019 , Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News released a six-part podcast called “ Conspiracyland , ” in which the former claimed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the story that Rich was the source of the leaked emails .
This laughably lopsided podcast deserves a deconstruction of its own .
Isikoff , it should be remembered , was the reporter first designated to spread the Christopher Steele nonsense .
Yet three years after that embarrassment , Isikoff was still treating Intelligence Community reports about Russian mischief as though they were gospel .
The critical revelation in the Isikoff story is that Ratner denies telling Butowsky about Seth Rich .
In what sounds like a staged phone call , Ms. Ratner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had never heard of this character , ” she tells Isikoff about Rich .
This was an extraordinary claim for any journalist to have made , let alone a friend of Assange .
Ratner spoke to Butowsky four months after Rich ’ s well publicized murder .
Once he learned of Ratner ’ s denial , Butowsky amended his suit to include her involvement in the affair .
He also shared publicly the post–Election Day video of Ratner ’ s panel discussion as well as audio evidence confirming Ratner as his source .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this .
A Google search of “ Ratner Butowsky ” leads to no publication higher on the media food chain than Rolling Stone .
Andy Kroll ’ s August 2020 article , “ Killing the Truth , ” takes up where Isikoff left off .
In this exhaustive waste of time and energy , Kroll cherry-picks his way through the available evidence and essentially accuses Butowsky of concocting everything he ever said about Ratner or Joel Rich , an accusation that shocked anew the long since jaded Texan .
As to Seth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tell his readers is that his murder was “ just an attempted robbery gone wrong , ” the lone fatality among “ the rash of armed muggings ” in his neighborhood that summer .
A botched robbery it may have been , but four years after Rich ’ s death , the skeptic has to ask : couldn ’ t Kroll or Isikoff or any major media reporter interview at least one of the other mugging victims ?
Couldn ’ t they at least look for fresh forensic evidence ?
Couldn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moment and at least fake an interest in finding the killers of the unfortunate Seth Rich ?
Or , better still , couldn ’ t someone in the Intelligence Community — anyone — ask Julian Assange what he really knows ?

Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington, D.C., street and take nothing. Two weeks later, international man of mystery Julian Assange strongly suggests on Dutch TV that Rich was his source for the purloined DNC emails then roiling the Democratic Party and offers a $20,000 reward to find the killer.
Three days before the November election, Assange reportedly tells liberal media analyst Ellen Ratner that Rich was indeed his source.

Incredibly, no major publication or network save for Fox News has even attempted to resolve the still unsolved murder, and Fox execs rather wish they hadn’t.
To understand how a story this potentially explosive could be suppressed for so long, it is necessary to understand one basic fact of Washington life: Donald Trump received just 4.1 percent of the District’s vote in the 2016 election. Trump’s election disrupted short-term strategies and long-term expectations in every one of the capital’s major institutions, local and federal, public and private, the legal community among them.
According to Hersh, Trump was a “circuit breaker,” one who made a whole lot of enemies. Those enemies, as we have seen, would go to great lengths to discredit Trump and anyone associated with him. The pressure they can bring to bear on even those who want to tell the truth remains formidable.
Instead of a serious investigation by either police or reporters, the Seth Rich case generated a dumpster-full of frivolous lawsuits. These suits have had the result, likely intended, of silencing those who would dare to investigate Rich’s demise. All too predictably, the media have heaped abuse on the investigators and cheered on the litigators.
Prominent among the private citizens who asked questions is Ed Butowsky, a Republican wealth manager from Texas. “It is horrible,” he told me. “I had no idea how big the other side is, and they are completely after me.” Once he started inquiring into Rich’s death, said Butowsky, “everything just turned to crap.”
Butowsky stumbled into his role as sleuth. Through his occasional TV appearances, Butowsky met Ellen Ratner, a friend of Assange. Her late brother Michael Ratner had been one of the American lawyers for the fugitive WikiLeaks founder. On the day after the election, Ratner lobbed a grenade into an otherwise banal panel discussion at Florida’s Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
“I spent three hours with Julian Assange on Saturday at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London,” Ratner volunteered midway through the event. “One thing he did say was the leaks were not from, they were not from the Russians. They were an internal source from the Hillary campaign or from somebody that knew Hillary, an enemy.”
If the grenade had detonated, Ratner would have blown a hole in a collusion plot that centered on the presumed Russian hack of the DNC. Fortunately for the plotters, Ratner’s self-involved fellow panelists skipped over her comments, and the video of the event passed into the ether all but unseen.

Eager for confirmation, Butowsky asked Hersh if he had seen the FBI report himself. Hersh admitted he had not. He explained that he had someone on the inside who had seen it, and that person, over the years, had proved “unbelievably accurate” in providing Hersh information.

New York attorney Douglas Wigdor was the one person to sense Wheeler’s real potential. “Wigdor is the central point of all this,” Butowsky told me. Although his name seems to have been lifted from a Harry Potter novel, Wigdor was all business.

On August 2, 2018, a federal judge in Manhattan dismissed the suits brought both by the Riches and by Wheeler. Judge George Daniels was particularly cool to Wheeler, ruling that he failed to prove he had been misquoted and “had also given his tacit consent to the article’s publication.” Aaron Rich has sued Butowsky as well.

Couldn’t they at least look for fresh forensic evidence? Couldn’t they put aside their Fox-phobia for a moment and at least fake an interest in finding the killers of the unfortunate Seth Rich?
Or, better still, couldn’t someone in the Intelligence Community — anyone — ask Julian Assange what he really knows?

(Joe Hoft) President Trump contracted the China coronavirus last week, was hospitalized and today he is coming home. The idea of President Trump on steroids is scaring the hell out of the Democrats. Not only did President Trump beat it but additional data shows that the China coronavirus is beginning to die out.

News came out this afternoon that President Trump is leaving the hospital and is returning to the White House after contracting the China coronavirus and beating it:
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 5, 2020
The President’s ability to overcome the China coronavirus is one thing, but there is more information that supports the belief that the virus is dissipating.
Despite over 70,000 cases of COVID-19 identified at 50 major universities this fall, only 3 individuals have been hospitalized and there are no deaths:
1/ Campus C19 update, 10/5/20: Despite ~70K C19+ tests at 50 major universities, barely any reported hospitalizations (i.e., 3), & no deaths. (Tabulated below, with explanation, & more refs following tweet thread) pic.twitter.com/aXrycwtFtk — Andrew Bostom (@andrewbostom) October 5, 2020
In addition, the China related website, Worldometers shows today that the US (with a population of around 350 million) has not incurred more than 1,000 deaths a day related to the China coronavirus since September 23, 2020 or in almost two weeks: It appears the China coronavirus is slowing down from its peak earlier this year in April. Now it’s time to move on from this madness and get on with our lives.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-07--PROOF that Tech Giants Facebook, Twitter and Google Are Using Chinese-Marxist Style Social Media Cen

PROOF that Tech Giants Facebook, Twitter and Google Are Using Chinese-Marxist Style Social Media Censorship on US Conservatives

( Jim Hoft ) In 2018 Google helped the Chinese Communists develop a social credit scoring system .
The scoring system , first announced in 2014 , rates China ’ s one billion citizens based on their behavior and associations .
Already , nine million people with low scores have been blocked from buying tickets for domestic flights and trains .
As horrible as this sounds the Silicon Valley tech giants are using a similar system here in the United States .
It is clear these tech giants are colluding to target certain prominent conservatives .
And Facebook is using @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system .
In 2019 Breitbart ’ s Allum Bokhari revealed that Facebook is using a similar social credit scoring system on Americans .
This is no surprise to those who have noticed the growing intolerance by big tech to conservative thought leaders and publishers .
Facebook monitors the offline behavior of its users to determine if they should be categorized as a “ Hate Agent , ” according to a document provided exclusively to Breitbart News by a source within the social media giant .
The document , titled “ Hate Agent Policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signals ” that Facebook uses to determine if someone ought to be categorized as a “ hate agent ” and banned from the platform .
Those signals include a wide range of on- and off-platform behavior .
If you praise the wrong individual , interview them , or appear at events alongside them , Facebook may categorize you as a “ hate agent.
” Facebook may also categorize you as a hate agent if you self-identify with or advocate for a “ Designated Hateful Ideology , ” if you associate with a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the examples cited by Facebook as a “ hate entity ” includes Islam critic Tommy Robinson ) , or if you have “ tattoos of hate symbols or hate slogans.
” ( The document cites no examples of these , but the media and “ anti-racism ” advocacy groups increasingly label innocuous items as “ hate symbols , ” including a cartoon frog and the “ OK ” hand sign . )
Facebook will also categorize you as a hate agent for possession of “ hate paraphernalia , ” although the document provides @ @ @ @ @ @ @ category .
The document also says Facebook will categorize you as a hate agent for “ statements made in private but later made public.
” Of course , Facebook holds vast amounts of information on what you say in public and in private — and as we saw with the Daily Beast doxing story , the platform will publicize private information on their users to assist the media in hitjobs on regular American citizens .
Breitbart News has already covered some of the individuals that Facebook placed on its list of potential “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was categorized as “ hateful ” and banned from the platform , in part , according to the document , because he praised Tommy Robinson and interviewed him on his YouTube channel .
Star conservative pundit Candace Owens and conservative author and terrorism expert Brigitte Gabriel were also on the list , as were British politicians Carl Benjamin and Anne Marie Waters .
On Tuesday Facebook removed President Trump ’ s post ( screenshot below ) where he claimed Covid-19 is less deadly than the flu after CNN lobbied to have his post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s post and Facebook immediately sprung into action and removed it for violating their guidelines on Covid .
Of course , Facebook took down the information despite its accuracy .
The coronavirus is less lethal for people under 50 than the flu .
We have reported on this fact for months .
But the truth does not matter to the tech giants .
You must believe in leftist doctrine in order to have a voice online .
And there is this… Twitter is now not just censoring our Gateway Pundit account but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ account .
We received several of these emails over the past 2 days .
A reader was suspended on Twitter for tweeting out this story .
The report was on a California man who found ballots from 2018 in a trash dump .
The county posted a tweet explaining they were from 2018 .
We updated our report to reflect this .
But you are not allowed to report on dumped ballots today .
The tech giants will not allow it .

Despite Insistence by Democrat Politicians and Medical Elites, Empirical Evidence DOES NOT Conclusively Show that Masks Reduce the Spread of COVID

( Joe Hoft ) Americans and people around the world argue the use of masks prevents the spread of the China coronavirus .
But does the empirical evidence support this argument ?

Redfield went so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work better than a vaccine : But Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf ( D ) and Democrat PA Rep. Wendy Ullman were caught on a hot mic calling face masks “ political theater.

The truth is that there hasn ’ t been an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the spread of the China coronavirus : …the research literature on mask usage doesn ’ t provide definitive answers .
There are no large-scale clinical trials proving that personal use of masks can prevent pandemic spread ; and the ones that look at masks and influenza have produced equivocal results .

This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in numerous situations that things actually got worse after a mask wearing policy was put in place .

SPYGATE: Ratcliffe Declassifies Docs Revealing Brennan Briefed Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton’s Plan to ‘Stir Up’ a Scandal Between Trump, Russia

( Cristina Laila ) DNI John Ratcliffe declassified documents on Tuesday revealing former CIA Director John Brennan briefed Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton ’ s plot to ‘ stir up ’ a scandal to tie Trump to Russia in order to distract from her email scandal ahead of the 2016 election .
This declassification comes after Ratcliffe released a Russian intel assessment in which he asserted that Hillary Clinton hatched the Russia hoax in order to pin the DNC ‘ hacking ’ on President Trump .
“ In late July 2016 , US intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against US Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians ’ hacking of the DNC .
The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation of the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggerations or fabrication , ” Ratcliffe wrote to Lindsey Graham .
The Obama-Biden White House was briefed on it by then-CIA Director John Brennan .
“ We ’ re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [ REDACTED ] , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ summarizing ] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service , ” Brennan ’ s notes read .
The notes state “ on 28 of July.
” In the margin , Brennan writes “ POTUS , ” but the entire section of the note is redacted .
“ Any evidence of collaboration between Trump campaign + Russia , ” Brennan ’ s notes read .
The notes are heavily redacted , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ JC , ” “ Denis , ” and “ Susan.
” EXCLUSIVE : Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified documents that revealed former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton ’ s purported “ plan ” to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as “ a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server ” ahead of the 2016 presidential election , Fox News has learned .
Ratcliffe declassified Brennan ’ s handwritten notes – which were taken after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CIA received – and a CIA memo , which revealed that officials referred the matter to the FBI for potential investigative action .
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence transmitted the declassified documents to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on Tuesday afternoon .
“ Today , at the direction of President Trump , I declassified additional documents relevant to ongoing Congressional oversight and investigative activities , ” Ratcliffe said in a statement to Fox News Tuesday .
A source familiar with the documents explained that Brennan ’ s handwritten notes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter .
Ratcliffe also declassified a CIA memo Brennan wrote to Peter Strzok and James Comey which revealed officials actually referred the matter to the FBI for a potential probe .
“ The following information is provided for the exclusive use of your bureau for background investigative action or lead purposes as appropriate , ” the CIA memo to Comey and Strzok stated .
“ This memorandum contains sensitive information that could be source revealing .
It should be handled with particular attention to compartmentation and need-to-know .
To avoid the possible compromise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taken in response to the information below should be coordinated in advance with Chief Counterintelligence Mission Center , Legal , ” the memo , which was sent to Comey and Strzok , read .
“ It may not be used in any legal proceeding—including FISA applications—without prior approval… ” “ Per FBI verbal request , CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date , ” the memo continued .

This declassification comes after Ratcliffe released a Russian intel assessment in which he asserted that Hillary Clinton hatched the Russia hoax in order to pin the DNC ‘hacking’ on President Trump.
“In late July 2016, US intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against US Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the DNC. The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation of the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggerations or fabrication,” Ratcliffe wrote to Lindsey Graham.
The Obama-Biden White House was briefed on it by then-CIA Director John Brennan.
Brennan’s handwritten notes were exclusively obtained by Fox News:
“We’re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED],” Brennan notes read. “CITE [summarizing] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service,” Brennan’s notes read.
The notes state “on 28 of July.” In the margin, Brennan writes “POTUS,” but the entire section of the note is redacted.

Fox News reported:
EXCLUSIVE: Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified documents that revealed former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s purported “plan” to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server” ahead of the 2016 presidential election, Fox News has learned. Ratcliffe declassified Brennan’s handwritten notes – which were taken after he briefed Obama on the intelligence the CIA received – and a CIA memo, which revealed that officials referred the matter to the FBI for potential investigative action. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence transmitted the declassified documents to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on Tuesday afternoon. “Today, at the direction of President Trump, I declassified additional documents relevant to ongoing Congressional oversight and investigative activities,” Ratcliffe said in a statement to Fox News Tuesday. A source familiar with the documents explained that Brennan’s handwritten notes were taken after briefing Obama on the matter.
Ratcliffe also declassified a CIA memo Brennan wrote to Peter Strzok and James Comey which revealed officials actually referred the matter to the FBI for a potential probe.
“The following information is provided for the exclusive use of your bureau for background investigative action or lead purposes as appropriate,” the CIA memo to Comey and Strzok stated.
“This memorandum contains sensitive information that could be source revealing. It should be handled with particular attention to compartmentation and need-to-know. To avoid the possible compromise of the source, any investigative action taken in response to the information below should be coordinated in advance with Chief Counterintelligence Mission Center, Legal,” the memo, which was sent to Comey and Strzok, read. “It may not be used in any legal proceeding—including FISA applications—without prior approval…”
“Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date,” the memo continued. ““An exchange [REDACTED] discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”

As we have been telling you, Emmanuel Macron is our pick for the biblical ‘man of sin’, and on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly, he didn’t disappoint.
Macron stood up before the Assembly, virtually of course, and delivered an absolute perfect speech. Perfect, that is, if you are a King James bible believer who loves end times prophecy.
As we said, Macron did not disappoint. The fact that the United Nations even exists is the fulfillment of bible prophecy, where it is specifically mentioned.
“Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” Zephaniah 3:8 (KJB)
The prophet Zephaniah tells of a time, far in the future from his day, where amazingly God would ‘gather all the nations’ of the world in an ‘assembly’, and that they would be gathered for the purpose of judgment being poured down on them.
This prophecy is so on the money that the official name of the UN is the United Nations General Assembly, exactly as Zephaniah had foretold.
The judgment of the UN will come in the second half of the time of Jacob’s trouble, during the great Tribulation, when under the leadership of Emmanuel Macon, umm, wait, I mean… Antichrist, all the nations of the world will come against Israel. It will be the last thing they ever do as a group.

As noted earlier today, DNI John Ratcliffe declassified documents revealing former CIA Director John Brennan briefed Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton’s plot to ‘stir up’ a scandal to tie Trump to Russia in order to distract from her email scandal ahead of the 2016 election.
This declassification comes after Ratcliffe released a Russian intel assessment in which he asserted that Hillary Clinton hatched the Russia hoax in order to pin the DNC ‘hacking’ on President Trump.
“In late July 2016, US intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against US Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the DNC. The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation of the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggerations or fabrication,” Ratcliffe wrote to Lindsey Graham.
The Obama-Biden White House was briefed on it by then-CIA Director John Brennan.
Brennan’s handwritten notes were exclusively obtained by Fox News:
“We’re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED],” Brennan notes read. “CITE [summarizing] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service,” Brennan’s notes read.
The notes state “on 28 of July.” In the margin, Brennan writes “POTUS,” but the entire section of the note is redacted.
“Any evidence of collaboration between Trump campaign + Russia,” Brennan’s notes read.
The notes are heavily redacted, except in the margins, which reads: “JC,” “Denis,” and “Susan.”

By July 31, the FBI had formally opened a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump’s campaigns ties to Russians, with sub-inquiries targeting four individuals: Paul Manafort, the campaign chairman; Michael Flynn, the former Defense Intelligence Agency chief who had led the crowd at the Republican convention in chants of “Lock her up!”; Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser who had just given a speech in Moscow; and Papadopoulos. Yahoo News released this report in March 2018 thinking that President Trump would soon be removed from office. What they also reported was that Obama started holding secret meetings in the basement of the White House at this time: While Brennan wrangled the intelligence agencies into a turf-crossing operation that could feed the White House information on the Russian maneuver, Obama convened a series of meetings to devise a plan for countering whatever the Russians were up to. The meetings followed the procedure known in the federal government as the “interagency process.” The protocol was for the deputy chiefs of the relevant government agencies to meet and hammer out options for the principals — that is, the heads of the agencies — and then the principals hold a separate (and sometimes parallel) chain of meetings to discuss and perhaps debate before presenting choices to the president. But for this topic, the protocol was not observed. Usually when the White House invited the deputies and principals to such meetings, they informed them of the subject at hand and provided “readahead” memos outlining what was on the agenda.
