Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell: “Have you ever given tips or advice to somebody who was looking to take a polygraph test?” Christine Blasey Ford: “Never.”
Chuck Grassley writes in a new letter that Dr. Ford’s ex-boyfriend says that he personally witnessed Ford coaching someone on how to take a polygraph test. She testified under oath that she has “Never” given tips to someone on how to take a polygraph.
Rachel Mitchell must have known about the letter or the info from Ford’s former boyfriend.
In a written declaration released Tuesday and obtained by Fox News, an ex-boyfriend of Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, directly contradicts her testimony under oath last week that she had never helped anyone prepare for a polygraph examination.
The former boyfriend, whose name was redacted in the declaration, also said Ford neither mentioned Kavanaugh nor mentioned she was a victim of sexual misconduct during the time they were dating from about 1992 to 1998. He said he saw Ford going to great lengths to help a woman he believed was her “life-long best friend” prepare for a potential polygraph test. He added that the woman had been interviewing for jobs with the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s office.
He further claimed that Ford never voiced any fear of flying (even while aboard a propeller plane) and seemingly had no problem living in a “very small,” 500 sq. ft. apartment with one door — apparently contradicting her claims that she could not testify promptly in D.C. because she felt uncomfortable traveling on planes, as well as her suggestion that her memories of Kavanuagh’s alleged assault prompted her to feel unsafe living in a closed space or one without a second front door.
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issues the “FISA MEMO: CHARGE AND RESPONSE” document to answer the major Mainstream Media and Democrat attacks on it.
The response to all charges against the memo, further cementing its validity and destroying all of the Left’s arguments.
A clear and powerful rebuttal to the attacks!
This needs to be shared far and wide.
CHARGE: The Majority failed to comply with House and Committee Rules. RESPONSE: All House and Committee rules were complied with and followed, as prescribed, from the requirement to notice a business meeting, to make available classified executive session material to the House, and to publically disclose the material. i
CHARGE: The memo is intended to undermine the Special Counsel’s ongoing Russia investigation. RESPONSE: The memo has nothing to do with the Special Counsel’s investigation, and is intended to expose past abuses of the FISA process, namely Senior DOJ and FBI officials’ use of unverified opposition research. That research was financed by a presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, and resulted in a surveillance warrant on an American citizen. Further, consistent with its bipartisan commitment not to impede any ongoing investigation, the Committee has not sought documents or information post-dating the appointment of the Special Counsel in May 2017.
CHARGE: The memo is intended to undermine DOJ and FBI. RESPONSE: The memo is intended to hold some senior DOJ and FBI officials accountable for abuses of the FISA process, consistent with the Committee’s constitutional responsibilities. The Committee has not only the right, but the responsibility, to conduct rigorous oversight of potential abuses—including by making information publicly available— on behalf of the American people.
CHARGE: The memo is intended to undermine the men and women of DOJ and FBI. RESPONSE: The memo is focused on abuses by a small number of senior leaders. The Committee’s fulfillment of its constitutional duty supports the hard working men and women of law enforcement and the intelligence community by enabling effective, efficient and constitutional oversight of their agencies.
CHARGE: The memo unfairly targets government officials like Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. RESPONSE: This is patently false. The memo simply states that Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and former FBI Deputy Director McCabe were among the senior DOJ and FBI officials who signed off on a FISA application that included, as a substantial and essential part, the DNC and Clinton campaign-funded Steele dossier.
CHARGE: The memo undermines recently-reauthorized FISA Section 702. RESPONSE: The memo has nothing to do with Section 702, which targets foreigners located overseas. As specified in the memo, the FISA order authorizing surveillance on Carter Page was not obtained under Title VII.
CHARGE: DOJ and FBI did nothing wrong by using the Steele dossier in a FISA application. RESPONSE: DOJ and FBI senior leaders had four separate opportunities, but failed each time, to adequately investigate or disclose to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) the role of the DNC and Clinton campaign as the funders and beneficiaries of the Steele dossier—even though its political origins were known to numerous senior DOJ and FBI officials. Additionally, FBI’s reliance on Steele’s past credibility was misplaced, since he concealed from the FBI unauthorized media contacts with numerous outlets and his anti-Trump bias, which was known by a senior DOJ official.
CHARGE: The memo, and DOJ and FBI’s use of the Steele dossier in a FISA application, are no big deal. RESPONSE: It is important for the American people to judge the facts presented in the memo, which Members of the Committee and House assessed to be of substantial public interest. But it is simply astonishing that Democrats would argue the memo is insignificant given the extreme lengths they went to prevent its release.
CHARGE: The memo is nothing more than a collection of partisan talking points. RESPONSE: The memo is the result of a nearly year long investigative effort by the Committee, including document review and witness interviews. As the public can see, it sets forth a series of facts uncovered by Committee investigators in the face of attempts efforts by senior DOJ and FBI officials to stonewall the Committee’s, and contains no partisan rhetoric or personal attacks.
CHARGE: The memo represents an irresponsible release of highly-sensitive classified information. RESPONSE: The complaints from the left about Congress doing its job, and Democrats’ sudden opposition to transparency, represent a hypocritical and partisan attempt to prevent the public from learning about the memo’s contents. Contrary to unauthorized leaks of classified information so prevalent in Washington today, the memo’s release occurred pursuant to the Committee’s oversight function and a process laid out in House Rules that balances the public and national interests. Some have falsely claimed that the memo contains “an immense amount of classified information.” However, it was specifically crafted to exclude information that might damage national security and has now been declassified following an executive branch review. This authorized, limited release of formerly classified information serves the public interest, and the only “source or method” specifically mentioned is Christopher Steele—who was terminated as an FBI source for unauthorized disclosures to the press.
CHARGE: It is irresponsible to release the memo over DOJ and FBI’s objections. RESPONSE: It is disappointing that senior officials at DOJ and FBI would continue to attempt to obstruct the Committee’s efforts to share with the American people information related to surveillance abuses at these agencies. The Committee notes that both DOJ and FBI—along with other stakeholders—had an opportunity to provide input into the executive branch review process, which resulted in the President’s decision to declassify the document in full.
CHARGE: DOJ and FBI had good reason to suspect Carter Page of being a Russian agent. RESPONSE: While many unverified claims have been made by both Christopher Steele and Committee Democrats, the focus of the memo is not Carter Page. The focus of the memo is the Steele dossier—funded by the DNC and Clinton campaign, and described as “salacious and unverified” by former FBI Director Comey—that formed a substantial and essential part of a secret court application for a warrant on an American citizen.
CHARGE: According to FBI, there are “material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.” RESPONSE: No one, including the FBI officials who reviewed the memo, has identified any factual errors, and the Committee encourages DOJ and FBI to make publicly available, to the greatest extent possible, documents in those agencies’ possession that would shed additional light on the abuses uncovered by the Committee. Also, the memo does not purport to be exhaustive: it is focused on DOJ and FBI’s use of the DNC- and Clinton campaign-funded Steele dossier to obtain a warrant on an American citizen.
CHARGE: Most members have not reviewed the documents underlying the memo. RESPONSE: As part of stonewalling the Committee’s investigation, senior officials at DOJ and FBI initially placed burdensome and unreasonable restrictions on the Committee’s access to documents responsive to its subpoenas. Chairman Nunes designated Chairman Gowdy, an experienced prosecutor and investigator, to lead the Committee’s review. All Republican members participated in weekly briefings on the results of the Committee’s investigative efforts, and the Committee does not believe there are—or should be—current restrictions on the Committee’s access to this important information.
CHARGE: The memo’s release violated an agreement with DOJ. RESPONSE: DOJ and FBI placed no limits on disseminating the information made available to the Committee which—contrary to false claims—is not highly classified or limited to the so-called “Gang of 8.”
CHARGE: The Committee drafted the memo in coordination with the White House. RESPONSE: This is patently false. No one outside the Committee played any role in drafting or compiling the memo. The Committee had no communications with the White House about the contents of the memo until after the Committee voted to make it publicly available, and it was transmitted to the President’s representatives in accordance with House rules.
CHARGE: The memo was materially altered after the Committee’s vote to make it public. RESPONSE: The Committee’s vote to release the memo was procedurally sound, and in accordance with House and Committee Rules. The version transmitted to the White House included minor edits, made before the Committee voted to make the memo public, to the version previously made available to all members of the House. The minor edits included technical and grammatical changes, along with the deletion of one piece of information in response to FBI’s last-minute suggestion—which was in accordance with national security protocols, but had no bearing on the memo’s substance. The memo also includes a more precise characterization of the FISA application’s use of a Yahoo News article, in response to feedback from Committee Democrats. Complaints about these edits from Committee Democrats—none of whom voted to release any version of the memo—represent the latest example of the minority’s consistent efforts to obstruct the Committee’s efforts to collect and share information about FISA abuses. The minority opposed all efforts to obtain the underlying documents, including issuing subpoenas for them in August 2017.
CHARGE: The Committee blocked release of the Democrats’ memo. RESPONSE: The Committee elected to follow the same process and timing for the Majority and Minority memos by first making each available for all members of the House to review. The Majority voted unanimously to make the Minority’s memo available to all House members, even though all Democrats voted against making the Majority’s memo similarly available. The Committee is planning a business meeting next week to address the Minority’s memo, and is soliciting feedback from Members of both parties who have reviewed it.
Comey’s “That’s it” response is extremely telling. He was expecting the House Intelligence Committee Report to contain something even more explosive.
That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.
What he doesn’t know is the strategy that is in play right now. Devin Nunes, Chuck Grassley, Bob Goodlatte, and Inspector General Michael Horowitz have coordinated efforts to get all of this information into the public.
Remember when Comey called Trump “Crazy” for suggesting he was being spied on? And now we learn the House Intelligence Committee Report shows that Comey signed off on the FISA application.
And we also know he leaked classified memos through his Columbia Law Professor “friend” Dan Richman to prompt a Special Counsel by his own words. WEASEL… Never Forget!
The real question: Was this really the first time the FBI and DOJ were weaponized to influence a US election?
We know the IRS was targeting the Tea Party during the previous election. There were studies conducted that show that the Tea Party would have swung the 2012 election to Mitt Romney had they not been targeted.
Let’s look at a few clues that may suggest there is some truth to this. Remember when Trump interviewed Mueller to be his FBI director? It was impossible for Mueller to be his FBI director again because Mueller had served 12 years prior as one. He was over the term limit for an FBI Director. The Mainstream Media actually mocked Trump for this, they said Trump didn’t even know the about term limits how stupid. How stupid indeed.
Well maybe Mueller wasn’t there to interview as FBI director.
I’ll even give you another clue. Paul Manafort worked for Trump for a while. When Trump was chosen as the RNC candidate he gained access to privileged information only available to potential Presidents, i.e. he was 1 of 2; Crooked Hillary was the other one. Trump received his first classified intelligence briefing on Wednesday, August 17, 2016. On Friday, August 19, 2016 Mr. Trump said in a statement, “This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign. I am very appreciative…” 2 days after this security briefing, Manafort resigned. The FBI told Trump that Manafort was being investigated. Manafort being investigated was what gave the Swamp access to a FISA warrant for Trump.
Think to yourself very carefully. Everyone says Mueller is investigating Russian collusion, but does anyone actually have any evidence of that? Except purportedly the Mainstream Media, who’s been lying and accepting any leaker they can who wandered in off the street?
What did Trump say all during the election about strategy? YOU DON’T BROADCAST TO YOUR ENEMIES EXACTLY WHAT YOUR PLAN IS.
Maybe even Trump’s angry tweets about Sessions were a ruse. The tweet about “DO SOMETHING!” could have been a ruse. The whole thing may be a ruse so Mueller can investigate the Swamp.
…are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!
Without getting too deep into the specifics, Meinertzhagen’s Haversack is actually a reference to the Haversack Ruse, employed by British Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen during World War I. In 1917, the British were having a difficult time defeating Turkey and taking Gaza. They’d unsuccessfully mounted two attacks without success. However, before the third attempt, Colonel Meinertzhagen doctored a bunch of fake war plans, put them in his bag, tricked a few Turkish soldiers to chase him on horseback, and during the course of the chase, Meinertzhagen dropped the bag. He’d also gotten horse blood on the bag, to make it seem as though he were injured being chased, and he left a big wad of money inside, to make it seem as though it was a bag he really didn’t want to lose.
The Turkish soldiers found the bag — or haversack — and were so convinced that the documents inside were authentic that they sent them up the chain to Turkish intelligence. Turkish military planners then game planned their war strategy accordingly. They were expecting to be attacked from one side, when in fact they were attacked from another. The ploy worked, and the British took Gaza.
A very interesting thread by FBI Anon (A supposed FBI insider) at 4chan. It offers more clues:
1. We’ve known that Holder was covering up Russian bribes for Uranium One for a long time now. Hell, even Clinton Cash tells everyone about the bribes that were taking place. The reason Mueller left the FBI was because he was fed up with the corruption of Holder/Clinton/Obama. Holder kept telling Mueller to kill investigations and bury evidence. I don’t know what you think about Mueller, but I can tell you, he’s an honorable man. The corruption of Holder/Obama/Clinton was eating him up alive. He resigned in 2013 when he just couldn’t keep doing this. Then they got Comey who was coerced in to continuing the cover up.
2. Manafort, Comey, Rosenstein, Podesta, Clintons, Holders, and Lynch are all on one team. We affectionately call them “The Clinton Cabal”. To take this cabal down, we needed someone who was close to career FBI agents because they were holding all the evidence. When the DNC and Clinton campaign spun the Trump/Russian collusion conspiracy back in Dec., we couldn’t believe it. They gave us the perfect way to expose them. We would use the Russian investigation to expose the bribery/extortion racket that took place back in 2009 and continued through 2015.
3. We got Mueller to sign on to investigate the connection. We needed him because he had been at the FBI for almost as long as Hoover and knew all the agents that were sitting on the Russian/Clinton connection. More importantly, he hates Holder/Obama/Clinton. The plan was, to get the special investigative council headed by Mueller and have the FBI agents handover all the evidence. Unfortunately, we didn’t count on Comey being such an obstacle. In the short time he was the Director of the FBI, he had made many allies who were proving to be loyal to him. He had to go. We knew it would be messy, but we had Pres Trump fire him. It caused a lot of headache for us, but in the end, it was worth it. Mueller’s been gathering evidence from his former agents for months now. Along with the raid to Manafort and Podesta, we now have enough evidence to connect all the dots. Mueller also convinced the FBI informant to speak up. Getting the gag order removed was trivial.
4. We gave The Hill a heads up. We knew the switch in the narrative from Trump/Russia to Clinton/Russia would take a little time. We had them drop the Uranium One article exactly one week before we would make the first arrests. Couple of days later, we dropped the dossier info. We needed to hammer the train. The first arrests will be Manafort and Tony Podesta. These guys are not the real target, they are just soldiers. The real targets are Hillary, Holder, Rosenstein, and John Podesta. We would love to expose Obama as well but Pres Trump is adamant about protecting former Presidents. Even if they are corrupt pieces of shit, he believes in the dignity of the office. He feels that ruining the legacy of a President will do nothing but hurt our country. This is why both Bush’s., Bill Clinton, Obama, and even LBJ will be spared. The rest of the JFK files released will not include the essential information implicating LBJ and Bush Sr.
5. This is it. The final moves will take place over the next 4 weeks. They could have let this go. Honestly, Pres Trump wanted to get on with Making America Great Again. Period. But Hillary and the DNC just couldn’t let it go. They asked for this. They kept making up shit and now they’re going to pay. If they kept their heads low and faded in to obscurity, we would not have gone this route. They have no one to blame but themselves.
Sun Tzu says:
“Having doomed spies, doing certain things openly for the purposes of deception, and allowing our own spies to know of them and report them to the enemy.”
“The enemy’s spies who have come to spy on us must be sought out, tempted with bribes, led away and comfortably housed. Thus they will become converted spies and available for our service.”
“It is through the information brought by the converted spy that we are able to acquire and employ local and inward spies.”
