FLASHBACK: Obama’s Ex-Spy Chief Mike Morell Was One of the First to Claim Candidate Trump Was “An Unwitting Agent of the [Russia] Federation” – Was He Incompetent or In On It?

Obama ’ s ex CIA Chief , Mike Morell , was connected to the Trump – Russia collusion lie as early as August 2016 .
In late 2017 , Morell still claimed the Trump-Russia fantasy was real .
In August 2016 , Obama ’ s former CIA Chief Mike Morell was on the Charlie Rose show .
During his interview Morell challenged candidate Trump to stand up to Russian President Putin .
At the time this was ridiculous because there was no evidence for Morell ’ s remarks .
Then Morell stated : TRENDING : Dr. Fauci Condemns Protests - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Economy -- - But Not the Lockdowns ?
So Does Fauci Suddenly Care About the Economy ?
Morell penned an Op-ed at the far left New York Times where he announced his support for Hillary Clinton .
The far left Daily Beast described Morell ’ s Hillary endorsement as such : Yet another former George W. Bush administration official has announced they will vote for Hillary Clinton this November .
In a scathing New York Times op-ed , Michael J. Morell , a former intelligence briefer for President Bush and an acting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GOP nominee Donald Trump “ a threat to our national security.
” The real-estate mogul , Morell wrote , has repeatedly “ undermined ” security by calling for a ban on Muslim immigration to the U.S. , and by taking “ policy positions consistent with Russian , not American , interests.
” The latter of which led to Morell ’ s most damaging conclusion : “ In the intelligence business , we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.
” What Morell didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he was working for a Clinton related entity at the time : Morell comes across as apolitical , evenhanded and well-credentialed on matters of national security .
What the piece does not say is that he is a senior counselor at Beacon Global Strategies , a Washington consulting firm with connections to Hillary Clinton .
Two of the firm ’ s founders were top aides to Clinton , including Philippe Reines .
Leon Panetta , who led the Defense Department and , later , the C.I.A .
under President Obama , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t mention the firm , or its ties to Clinton , in his piece .
He simply said that he knew Clinton from working with her while she was secretary of state and he was a top official at the C.I.A .
The Times identified him only by saying Morell was the acting director and deputy director of the C.I.A .
from 2010 to 2013 .
It said nothing about the firm he joined after that .
By late 2017 , Morell was back at it , suggesting that the US Intel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s actions in the 2016 campaign similar to their work before 9-11 : The Russian 2016 hacking , Morell told me , was in fact a U.S. “ intelligence failure ” in multiple ways .

This guy is as dumb as he is crooked.
Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) released another report on Tuesday with his buddy Mark Warner (D-VA) saying they stand with their junk reports that Vladimir Putin interfered in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump.
Richard Burr was recently accused of insider trading for dumping his hotel stocks before the coronavirus panic hit the US.
Burr is the same senator who harassed the Trump family and subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr. to testify in the junk Russia collusion hoax.
This horrible Republican senator also extended his bogus investigation of Russia collusion well into 2019 in order to abuse the Trump family, the Trump campaign and the Trump administration.
Earlier this month the DOJ released info that Comey’s FBI knew the Hillary Clinton-funded dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele was bogus Russian disinformation — but they used it anyway to spy on Trump’s campaign.
The entire Russia hoax was based on Russia misinformation fed to Chris Steele for his Trump-Russia dossier.
Despite this Burr announced with Warner today that they stand by the crap Russia report.
Burr is a disgrace.

thegatewaypundit--2020-04-21--New Documentary Reveals Bill Clinton Kept CIA From Killing Bin Laden

When the U.S. military had a chance to take out Osama bin Laden back in the 1990s — after tracking his location with the help of Afghan tribal informants — they couldn ’ t do so because of an order signed by then-President Bill Clinton , a new documentary reveals .
The order in effect at the time allowed the Central Intelligence Agency to engage in “ lethal activity ” against the Al Qaeda leader , who would leader orchestrate the 9-11 attacks on the U.S. , but the purpose of the strike could not be to kill him .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ this threat to the United States essentially with one hand tied behind our backs , ” said now-former CIA station chief Bob Grenier in Showtime ’ s “ The Longest War , ” in a clip posted by The Daily Beast .
At the time , Grenier was based in Islamabad , Pakistan .
The terrorist would be killed May 2 , 2011 , in his compound in Abbottabad , Pakistan , not far from Islamabad .
“ Our tribal contacts came to us and said , ‘ Look , he ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaves , he ’ s going to have to go through this particular crossroads.
’ And so what they proposed was to bury a huge cache of explosives underneath those crossroads so that when his convoy came through they could simply blow it up .

Adam Schiff on April 7 sent Richard Grenell a letter demanding answers on the agency’s personnel changes, including the firing of ICIG Michael Atkinson.
“President Trump did not nominate you for confirmation as permanent DNI, and it would be inappropriate for you to pursue any additional leadership, organizational, or staffing changes to ODNI during your temporary tenure,” Schiff wrote in an April 7 letter acting like he has authority over the executive branch.
And Grenell responded with fire.
“I must disagree with your proposals to divest the DNI of managerial competence and personnel decision-making authority, and to replace your committee’s mandate for Intelligence Community oversight with a mandate for IC administration,” Grenell said.
