Spygate: The Inside Story Behind The Alleged Plot To Take Down Trump
[ZERO] Efforts by high-ranking officials in the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice (DOJ), and State Department to portray President Donald Trump as having colluded with Russia were the culmination of years of bias and politicization under the Obama administration.

The weaponization of the intelligence community and other government agencies created an environment that allowed for obstruction in the investigation into Hillary Clinton and the relentless pursuit of a manufactured collusion narrative against Trump.

A willing and complicit media spread unsubstantiated leaks as facts in an effort to promote the Russia-collusion narrative.

The Spygate scandal also raises a bigger question: Was the 2016 election a one-time aberration, or was it symptomatic of decades of institutional political corruption?

This article builds on dozens of congressional testimonies, court documents, and other research to provide an inside look at the actions of Obama administration officials in the scandal that’s become known as Spygate.

To understand this abuse of power, it helps to go back to July 2011, when DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz was appointed.

#1 A most comprehensive assessment. Numerous pieces of the puzzle coming together rather quickly. I suspect people are accepting gov't immunity and talking.

Unless I missed it, I didn't see anything on Gina Haspel. She was Brennan's pick for rare back-to-back tours as London's Chief of Station. Later, Brennan recommended her for Director. Anything having to do with "former MI6 employee" Steele would have likely crossed her desk.

More digging please.

#3 Perjury has a 5 year statute of limitations (under Federal law).

Sedition has no statute of limitation (under Federal law) but, I think requires that there be an overall plan and some degree of force or implication of force.

Insurrection implies a revolt against govt authority and I think a degree of force also.

Conspiracy requires that it done toward some other crime. I'm not sure it it can be paired with Sedition.

Any constitutional lawyers want to help out on this?

#4 "Alleged"

If you have the money, take that out, let them sue, and let discovery begin.

#7 Obama and Brennan, unmarked airplanes in the middle of the night. What did they purchase ?

AP (6 Sept 2016)- US payment of $1.7 billion to Iran made entirely in cash

The Obama administration acknowledged late Tuesday that its transfer of $1.7 billion to Iran earlier this year was made entirely in cash, using non-U.S. currency, as Republican critics of the transaction continued to denounce the payments.

Treasury Department spokeswoman Dawn Selak said in a statement the cash payments were necessary because of the “effectiveness of U.S. and international sanctions,” which isolated Iran from the international finance system.

The $1.7 billion was the settlement of a decades-old arbitration claim between the U.S. and Iran. An initial $400 million of euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currency was delivered on pallets Jan. 17, the same day Tehran agreed to release four American prisoners.
