Marjorie Taylor Greene Outlines the FBI Document She Reviewed Highlighting Bribes to Joe Biden and Family – Video and Transcript


Posted originally on the CTH on June 9, 2023 | Sundance 

Amid all the furor of the corrupt and political indictment against President Trump, Congress was permitted to read the witness statement from a Confidential Human Source who outlined allegations of bribery in testimony to FBI agents.

The FD-1023 report was written by FBI investigators in July of 2020.  It became an issue after the FBI seemingly took no action, and then recently claimed to be “investigating” the claims of the “highly credible” FBI source.  Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reviewed the report and then gave her impression to the media.  Video and Transcript below. WATCH:

Transcript: Reading this form (FBI’s FD-1023) today shows the pure distinction.

This information this source that came forward. It’s a paid informant by the FBI. This has nothing to do with Giuliani. This has nothing to do with the information that he brought forward in 2020. It’s totally separate and it’s extremely incredible because he’s a paid informant.

I made some notes after I left the skiff based on the information and I’ll share that with you guys right now.

Basically, what was happening there is back in 2015 2016 Burisma was looking to buy a US based oil and gas company, and this came from being advised by Hunter Biden and his partners.

(Joe) Biden said Shokan was corrupt. That was around the time of this meeting was when Joe Biden was Vice President had said that the prosecutor Shogun was correct.
They hired Hunter on the board to make the problems go away. That’s what they specifically said.

Hunter advised that they can raise more money if they bought a US company.

So the informant was trying to do the right thing and trying to advise Burisma that they shouldn’t go this route but they should hire an attorney to work out their problems that they were being investigated for because they were having other legal problems. And that’s why they were being investigated by this prosecutor Shokin that it was advising them don’t go this route.

Why would you buy another US company while you’re under investigation? That’s not a good idea. So he’s trying to tell him to do the right thing.

The owner of Burisma said that Hunter was stupid and that his other business partner was smart.

He also said that he paid $5 million to one Biden and he paid $5 million to another Biden and it was all a bribery to get Shokin fired and end the investigation into Burisma.

He also told the informant This is common practice in Russia in Ukraine, common practice, it’s part of business there are other cultural works, that they will pay bribery money in order to get business deals done. And then many businesses, they take that into account they put in their budget, basically, when they’re preparing to buy another company or start another company, that that’s just normal.

And so over in Ukraine, for them to consider hiring Hunter Biden on the board in order to make their problems go away, which was the prosecutor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma for corruption and legal problems.

This was definitely illegal for a vice president of the United States and their family members.

The informant had asked the owner of Burisma if he was happy that Trump won and he said no he was not happy. Remember, he had invested a lot of money into the Biden’s to make these problems go away. But he did say that it would take 10 years for all of us to find out about the payments that were made to the Bidens. Because of how many bank accounts there were.

He said at the time, there were no direct payments made to big guy but at the meeting later, after he had become more upset as things are unfolding, he told that informant that he has two pieces of evidence showing proof of payment to Hunter and specifically Joe Biden.

You see, I think what everyone needs to understand is their business. Whether they perform their business in a legal manner or correct manner, they always keep records of their business payments, accounts and receivables that’s how it’s done and this owner and Burisma pepper record, especially at the bribes and if you’re in an industry where you have to pay bribes to get your business deals done.

You always want to keep a record and keep proof of your brides because that’s how you make sure you get people to follow through on whether it was done.
What I read today is again shocking just as what I read in the treasury department with all the SARS is shocking. But we are going to continue following this investigation.

We’re going to continue to look into every single thing that we can uncover.

We need the FBI to keep cooperating with us that’s extremely important. And I have very high expectations of Christopher Wray that will do the right thing and continue showing us the information that we’re asking for.

What I’m upset about though the FBI doesn’t think the American people are worthy of this unclassified information. I certainly do. I think the American people deserve to know every single bit of it and that’s why when I left the skiff, I’ve made this paper here so that I could explain everything to the American people.

Mark Levin Reacts to Trump Indictment – Frivolous Documents Charges

I am deep in the weeds and assembling notes for outlines to be delivered in the next several articles.  However, that said, perhaps the only time Mark Levin’s shouting was tolerable was last night as he responded to the indictment of President Trump.  WATCH:

President Trump Has Nothing to Fear from The Fraud Represented by Special Counsel Jack Smith


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on April 23, 2023 | Sundance 

Sunlight is the best disinfectant; this core and essential truism will never be defeated.

People have asked for a summary of the current status of Special Counsel Jack Smith and the background of what is happening within the investigation as it takes place in the shadows of the DC schemes.  So here’s an analysis and review of: (a) the corrupt endeavor that Jack Smith represents; and (b) the problem he will never overcome in his quest to use lawfare tactics against President Donald Trump.

Two points, at the outset of this outline.  First, if you know anyone better acquainted with the granular issues at the core of this investigation than me; or if you know someone who has a documented day-by-day research library of the events discussed as they unfolded; let me know who they are, and I will talk to them.  Second, if you think John Durham is on some quest to provide justice where the landscape is filled with injustice, you need to reevaluate your position, it’s wrong.

To the second point, stop kidding yourself with false doses of hopium.  Special Counsel John Durham exists for the exact same reason the Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann special counsel existed.  The goal of the silo defenses is to protect Washington DC from the disinfecting sunlight you are about to read.  However, in the bigger picture there is nothing these Machiavellian conscripts can do to change the substantive truth.

In the most recent development the New York Times is reporting, “Boris Epshteyn, a top adviser to former President Donald J. Trump, is scheduled to be interviewed on Thursday by prosecutors in the office of the special counsel Jack Smith.” {link} Let me write the remainder of this summary from the perspective that Jack Smith has a big problem; his problem is the truth of events that protects Donald Trump.

In 2016 and 2017 the combined corrupt weight of multiple DC institutions, that includes the intelligence community, DOJ, FBI, Obama White House, legislative leadership, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and the political apparatchiks around the Democrat machinery, all colluded to illegally and unconstitutionally spy on the presidential campaign of Donald J Trump.  Their activity culminated in the fraudulent Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy and fake 2016 election Russian interference claims.

Everything created as an outcome of this spying, surveillance and ultimately the Trump-Russia narrative, was built on fraud.  Even the casual observers now admit it was political weaponization of government institutions to illegally target political opposition.  In May of 2017 Robert Mueller was installed to cover up this operation.  The lawfare team put into place by the system operators who were at greatest risk from discovery, was headed by Andrew Weissmann.  Mueller represented the face, but Weissmann was the lead operative constructing the coverup operation.

♦ Declassification #1 – In 2018, as the details of the fraud began to surface, President Trump -directly, and through his White House counsel- told then Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to declassify all of the information and the paper trail of mounting investigative documents so the American people could see what happened.  Rosenstein informed President Trump the Weissmann/Mueller team would consider declassifying information “obstruction of their investigation.”

The position of the Mueller probe was again the coverup operation, which would be threatened by any declassification of evidence.  The threat of obstruction was leveraged to keep the sunlight away, while the second phase of the Trump removal operation was ongoing.   Facing this threat, President Trump was told to wait until Mueller was complete.

♦ Declassification #2 – Bill Barr is appointed Attorney General in 2019 and was told again -directly by Trump, and through his White House counsel- that all documents related to the illegal spying and targeting operation were to be declassified and released to the public.   The Mueller/Weissmann investigation concluded, Bill Barr was instructed to release the declassified evidence.

Attorney General Bill Barr informed President Trump directly and through counsel, that Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz was conducting an internal investigation, and the prior Mueller/Weissmann probe had blocked the OIG from access to certain sensitive documents.

Additionally, to provide further “assurances,” which were really delays protecting the DC institutions, AG Barr appointed an independent U.S. Attorney from Connecticut named John Durham to investigate the claims in the background of the Trump-Russia fraud.

Similar to the prior position of DAG Rosenstein concerning the Mueller probe, AG Barr now told President Trump that any declassification of documents could be considered an impediment to the Durham investigation, and concurrently IG Horowitz would be conducting additional internal review, which was likely to provide the sunlight that President Trump was demanding.  After all, Horowitz didn’t get to see the stuff Weissmann was hiding, and presumably now he could.

Frustrated, yet still retaining his position on the declassification of documents, President Trump accepted the issue as presented.  In May of 2019, President Trump in combination with White House counsel, issued an executive memorandum giving AG Bill Barr the executive and legal authority to declassify the evidence in order to provide it to both IG Michael Horowitz and USAO John Durham.

Important NOTE:  Notice that twice President Trump has ordered the declassification of documents, and also deferred the timing so that he did not interfere with ongoing investigations.  The declassification of documents exists, AND, the deference to avoid legal exposure within an “obstruction” threat exists.  Both of these lawfare attack angles are the issues at the core of what Special Counsel Jack Smith is currently attempting to construct.

It is important at this juncture to apply hindsight to what was taking place, and to accept the reality of how corrupt the system truly is.

AG Bill Barr appointed John Durham specifically to continue representing a legal block that would stop President Trump from unilaterally declassifying information.  Let me be very specific, Attorney General Bill Barr appointed John Durham to maintain the “obstruction” threat.

Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller, Michael Horowitz, Bill Barr, John Durham and now, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco and Jack Smith, were/are all attempting to defend the institutional interests of a comprehensively corrupt Washington DC political apparatus.  All of these participants were/are involved in one long continuum of an effort to hide the corruption and protect the institutions.  The weaponized institutions of government, and the evidence of that corrupt activity, are what they are protecting.

♦ Declassification #3 – Following the 2020 election, and again with the advice of White House counsel as the guide, President Trump declassified for the third time the documents that show the illegal weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, ODNI, SSCI and larger Intelligence Community (IC).  Again, with the threat of “obstruction” as the overlay, on the final day in office President Donald J Trump left these instructions for the U.S. Attorney General:

To date, none of these documents have been released.

Copies of these declassified documents are what the FBI was trying to track down in the raid of Mar-a-Lago.

The position of the DOJ, through Special Counsel Jack Smith, is that President Trump did not declassify the documents; and that President Trump is obstructing the U.S. government from the process of controlling and securing documents they intend to keep hidden from the public.

The position of President Trump is that everything was declassified, and all of the participants within the process of declassification can attest to the intent of the declassification process itself.  Additionally, it is clear by the actions of President Trump within the deferral process he followed, that President Trump was never trying to obstruct any investigation, and though the use of “obstruction” was simply a weaponized threat (ie. Lawfare) to protect corrupt institutions, Trump never stepped into that trap.

At the essential core of the issue, TRUTH is a problem for Special Counsel Jack Smith.   All of the participants within the process will attest to the basic outline as presented above.

Yes, President Trump declassified documents showing how the apparatus of the United States government was illegally weaponized against him.  And yes, simultaneously President Trump deferred public release of those documents to avoid the DOJ obstruction threat.   This is the problem that Jack Smith keeps running into.

Sunday Talks, Intel Commitee Member Rep. Brad Wenstrup Discusses Recent Classified Information Leaks


Posted originally on the CTH on April 9, 2023 | Sundance 

The classification statement of NOFORN (meaning “no foreign nationals “) is applied to any information that may not be released to any non-U.S. citizen.

The classified documents, as released in the recent NYT/White House/Pentagon storyline, carried the NOFORN designation.  That means the source documents describing U.S. geopolitical and intelligence strategies were contained inside U.S. compartmented intelligence silos, prior to their surfacing in the social media platforms as discussed. Keep this in mind.  WATCH:

First, the story surfaces from the New York Times.  What does that tell us?  It tells us the stakeholders in a background narrative surrounding the issue as constructed are domestic intelligence interests.  If there was a State Dept stakeholder interest, the story would have been presented by CNN.  If there was a U.S. foreign intelligence operation stakeholder interest, the story would have surfaced in the Washington Post.

The story surfaces in the New York Times indicating a U.S. domestic intelligence interest, and the story is sourced directly to the White House via “senior Biden administration officials.”  What does that mean?  It means the narrative that flows from the story has a direction to shape opinion from the perspective of U.S. government domestic public relations.  It means the narrative is intended to sway a domestic audience with a motive toward something else.

Secondly, and in full alignment with the first point, the centerpiece of the story is focused on a leak that surfaces in “social media.”  This fits perfectly with the domestic intelligence stakeholders (DHS, National Security Council, etc).   We know domestic intelligence operates in the backbone of social media platforms.  An example is DHS and domestic Intelligence Community (IC) work as outlined in the Twitter files.

Put them together; a domestic IC product surfaced (being called leaked) into social media platforms containing portals controlled by domestic IC.

The domestic IC then report on the leaks to the outlet used by the domestic IC.   See how these fit?

If you follow the bouncing ball, what you immediately suspect is the domestic IC planted the ‘classified information’ in the platforms they can access, then turn around and report on the leak of the classified information to media they use for domestic narrative engineering.

♦ Motive – But why would the IC plant classified information, then turn around and report on the classified information they planted?  This is where we remind ourselves how the motives work, against a bigger picture.

The leak (planted information) and then the telling of the leak (NYT story) creates an opportunity for the domestic IC to frame a Russian dis/mis/mal-information narrative.

But why would the IC want to immediately stir up a misinformation or disinformation narrative against Russia?

♦ Answer: Just before the leak/story construct.  Two Russian gremlins, perhaps state sponsored, or perhaps just state aligned, tricked former French President Francois Hollande into admitting the U.S. government and western alliance were behind all of the events in Ukraine after 2014, with the expressed intention to construct a proxy war against Russia using Ukraine.

Russian Pranksters Vovan and Lexus, posing as former Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko, got French ex-President Francois Hollande to admit the Minsk Accords were a NATO ruse to militarize Ukraine, and Western nations overthrew Ukraine’s democratically-elected government in 2014. (Full YouTube Conversation)

As noted by Gonzalo Lira, “François Hollande, former President of France, confirms that the 2014 coup d’etat in Ukraine was part of a long-term plan to have Ukraine fight a proxy war against Russia. The Americans have been preparing this war since the Obama administration—it is now confirmed beyond doubt.”

The admission by Hollande aligns with every element of the U.S. effort to use Russia as a bad guy, including the use of Russia against Donald J. Trump.  A proxy war against Russia was in the works going all the way back to the Euromaidan efforts, the color revolution in Ukraine, as constructed by the U.S. State Department, and facilitated by U.S. allies in Europe.

This is the most explosive dose of geopolitical sunlight in years, and obviously these statements by Hollande were a serious issue for the White House and U.S. Intelligence Community.   Hollande was tricked by two Russian pranksters into spilling the real story about Ukraine and U.S. involvement therein.

Now do you see the need?  The Hollande admission is an urgent problem.

Less than one news cycle later, the IC dropped the Ukraine counteroffensive strategy in the platforms the IC has access to (a purposeful leak).  Then the IC tells the story of the classified strategy leak to the New York Times and begins framing a Russian mis/disinformation campaign.   All issues, including the Hollande story, now fall under the same claims of Russian mis/disinformation.

As the narrative is pushed by the compliant media, all of the geopolitical stories are now filtered through the prism of Russian mis/disinformation.  Ergo, all of the potentially damaging information, even if accurate and true, is attributed to Russian misinformation operations and subsequently disregarded.

The leak of classified intelligence, and the attribution to Russian misinformation, is like a brushback pitch toward the heads of the media on the explosive Francois Hollande story.  It works.

That’s how the control agents operate.  Deflection and adverse information removal is what IC operations are intended to control.  This ‘leak’ looks like a successful IC operation.

Once you see the strings on the DC marionettes, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them.

Inditement Backlash


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Apr 3, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Trump said from the beginning that his arrest would blow up in Biden’s face. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would not honor any request to extradite the former president and called the situation “un-American.” “The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head,” DeSantis tweeted. News outlets, even those on the left, are bashing the inditement. The Washington Post released an article calling it “a poor test case for prosecuting a former president.” American voters seem to agree.

You know you screwed up when even George Soros wants no part of the scandal. The leftist billionaire came out to declare that he is not associated with Alvin Bragg in any way, despite being a donor to the Color of Change PAC that supported Bragg’s election. Both DeSantis and Trump accused Soros of supporting Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. “As for Alvin Bragg, as a matter of fact I did not contribute to his campaign and I don’t know him,” Soros told the media.

Trump stated: “I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party – united and strong – will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Even the Democrats are now admitting that this is a witch hunt. Rasmussen Reports found that the public was split 49-47 in favor of charging the former president. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called the charges “an outrageous abuse of power.” He also called Braggs a “radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump.” Rasmussen also found that 46% of Democrats agree that what is happening is “an outrageous abuse of power,” and 55% of Independent voters also agreed. A poll by Breitbart News found that 59% of poll respondents see the charges as “politically motivated,” and 53% said it was “stretching a weak case.”

Could these charges actually cause the public to feel sympathy for Donald Trump? Republicans are standing strong behind him. Those in the middle are leaning to the right on this situation. The left wanted Trump gone, but not in such an overtly corrupt manner. Beating the charges would be a win for Trump and a nod to his promise to fight the establishment. This has become additional free publicity for Trump as it is hard to deny that the US government is already attempting to interfere in the 2024 presidential election.

A Familiar Brand of BS from Former DOJ Lawyer, Turned New York Rep, Dan Goldman


Posted originally on the CTH on March 9, 2023 | Sundance 

I did not get to watch the House Judiciary Subcommittee testimony in real time because, well, life interrupts.  However, I am catching up this evening.  I find myself needing to draw attention to a particular brand of familiar bullsh*t from former DOJ Lawyer and current New York Freshman Representative Daniel Goldman.

In the exchange below, prompted to 10:55, notice how weasel Goldman posits the Mueller/Weissmann Special Counsel Russian indictments as some form of evidence that Russia (a) interfered in the election, and that Russia (b) hacked and dumped the DNC emails in 2016; neither of which is factually accurate….. but he blathers on.

Unfortunately, Taibbi and Shellenberger were not deep enough in the weeds back in 2018 to appropriately skewer Dan Goldman with the verbal takedown he deserved.  What Goldman is saying is ridiculous, and he counts on people not knowing the details of the Mueller/Weissmann schemes.

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein held two big press conferences announcing indictments of Russian actors in 2018.  One in February and one in July, both at critical moments for the fraudulent cover operation being done by Mueller. [Citation Here – And HERE – And Here]

These are the “indictments” Goldman cites. However, the indictments were sealed within the DOJ-National Security Division, specifically so that no one could deconstruct them.  Goldman is asking Taibbi to read indictments that are not even possible to see. They never were.  The only thing the public saw were Weissmann and team’s descriptions of the claims within the indictments we were never permitted to review…. because, well, national security.  WATCH:

Insert the familiar and hilarious case of the Russian Concord Catering Company that was indicted.  Yes, Mueller/Weissmann actually indicted a place that makes ham sandwiches.   The correct “Concord” company eventually took the DOJ case to court and made fun of the stupid Amerikans so much the DOJ ended up dropping the case while claiming they would have to put national security at risk (sources and methods) if they took the case to trial.

In February 2018, they needed a big presser to get away from the Senator Warner texts with Adam Waldman (Oleg Deripaska, Dan Jones, Chris Steele et al), while simultaneously trying to run an operation to deflect attention from the FBI discovery of SSCI Security Director James Wolfe and his leaking of the FISA application.  The February Russian indictments were intended to: (a) suck oxygen, (b) deflect from a collapsing Trump-Russia narrative (Nunes Memo), and (c) prop up the Mueller probe.

The July 2018 indictments of Russian Intelligence Officials, was even worse.  This set [READ HERE] evaporated immediately following the press conference.  The media ran with the narrative, yet there was nothing public that would ever support the indictments… because, national security.   Seeing a pattern?

This is in the same July 2018 when the Mueller team publicly released the Carter Page FISA application, again another distraction and first ever release of a Top Secret Compartmented FISA warrant {eyeroll here}… that was already in the media hands from the soon to be made public James Wolfe indictment.   This is the exact same time when the Mueller team told the FISA court that the predicate for the FISA warrant was structurally sound.  It wasn’t.

Both the February and July 2018 Russian indictments were indictments (accusations) in name only.  None of it was pursued except by the Russian Concord group who wanted to go to court to embarrass the Mueller probe… which was the real motive for the DOJ dropping it.  Daniel Goldman knows all of this.

The great pretending continues….

I hate them all.

Last point.  See what I mean about congress and their staffs being clueless about the details of events.  Any of those Congress people could have mopped the floor with Goldman and made an epic moment for television sunlight… except they don’t know the background.  They are genuinely clueless.   Principals and Staff, totally clueless.  Even on this House subcommittee.
