It took a lot longer than it should have; and it created buckets more intentional controversy than it should have; but the FBI and NASCAR have finally admitted the “noose” claimed by Bubba Wallace was nothing more than a simple garage door rope tied in a loop and had been there since October 2019. EXACTLYas we outlined:
FBI STATEMENT: (Insufferably the FBI keep calling it a “noose”, it’s wasn’t.) The FBI wasted “fifteen FBI special agents” on this investigation. Good grief.
Not surprisingly, there has been no statement from NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace.
The manual garage door rope on stall #4 was tied into a hand loop by the team of Ryan Blaney sometime after the October 2019 Talladega qualifier and before the start of the main race. There are numerous ropes on several garage bay doors that are tied to make similar loops at the bottom. It just makes it easier to pull the door down.
This entire controversy was over absolutely nothing.
Apparently NASCAR wants their heavily promoted story to quietly disappear now.
There are a lot of racially motivated politicians who are using the NASCAR ‘fake noose‘ story to proclaim their woke credentials. However, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is particularly interesting because in many ways she has staked her political future around her expressed racial sensitivities. This bet, she believes, will advance her to the White House. [Background]
While governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley led a movement to remove all historic references and memorials to the southern confederacy. It was a political calculation she viewed would help her career later on. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to see this:
The problem is… as more and more politicians and well known pundits and media stake their reputation on this Bubba Wallace hoax it becomes more difficult for NASCAR and investigators to admit the truth. An easily solved mystery that should have been explained to the public in a matter of hours has now dragged on for days. [SEE HERE]
Picture of Bubba Wallace garage stall (#4) on Monday while FBI were investigating:
Picture of Talladega Speedway garage stall (#4) in 2019:
Side-by-side that shows the Bubba Wallace claimed “noose” was actually just a manual garage pull down rope, tied to make a loop.
Video of Talladega Speedway garage pull-down ropes (aka nooses) in several garages throughout the years:
.
At this point everyone refusing to admit what is brutally obvious just looks silly.
Throughout the late evening and overnight hours we have been able to assemble definitive proof the NASCAR story of a noose hanging in the garage of drive Bubba Wallace is a hoax. [Background Here]
When the race team of Bubba Wallace arrived at Talladega Speedway in Alabama, he was assigned to garage stall #4. After reviewing prior 2019 video of that specific garage bay, at that specific speedway; and after reviewing a picture released yesterday showing the FBI investigators on the scene; it is clear the “rope noose” in question was nothing more than a manual garage door pull-down with a hand loop tied into it.
As you can see, the portion of the rope that shows the hand loop (aka “noose”) in 2019 was cut off in 2020. The #4 garage door pull-down rope did not break, it was cut -the hand loop removed- and that’s why it is shorter. The question then becomes was this a mistaken interpretation or an intentional effort to create the appearance of targeted hate?
The answer to that question becomes clear when you look at the same rope on the adjacent stall, #5. A full picture (shown below) shows the pull-down rope on the stall next to Bubba Wallace also contained a hand loop tied into it. However, it is clear from the kinks in the rope the hand loop was untied. Likely by the same person who cut-off the “noose” on stall #4 being used by Bubba Wallace’s crew.
It appears the hand loop (“noose”) in garage stall #5 was untied in order to facilitate the perpetuation of the claim for the hand loop (“noose”) cut-off in Wallace’s stall #4.
A review of the exact garage bay/stall video in November 2019 (race Oct ’19), six months prior to the arrival of Mr. Bubba Wallace’s team, shows the hand loop as it most likely existed when the team arrived:
That is the “hand loop” that was cut from the manual garage door rope and presented by the team of Bubba Wallace and NASCAR as evidence of a “noose”. This simple garage pull-down is what all of the racial stories have surrounded.
Again, here’s the side-by side comparison. In the 2019 picture the pull-down hand loop is present, and in the 2020 picture taken Monday (with FBI officials) it is not.
It is important to note that many manual garage doors at Talladega speedway have these ropes and hand-loops tied into them for use as pull-downs. These same pull-down ropes appear to have been purposefully mistaken for “nooses.” (see more here)
However, it’s not just Bubba Wallace and NASCAR officials driving this hoax.
To give some perspective it’s worth looking at how Auto Weekly framed a completely false racial component. Note: Matt Weaver is the Associate Motorsports Editor for Auto Week USA and Auto Week Racing:
When Mr. Weaver was confronted with the evidence that Bubba Wallace’s claim was based on a clearly fabricated or misinterpreted story, Matt Weaver immediately responded jaw-agape by saying he had asked NASCAR about the possibility of the “noose” being a simple garage door pull down rope and NASCAR confirmed to him it was not:
This presented a rather unusual scenario because it is demonstrably true the “noose” was actually a simple garage door pull down rope.
With a multi-billion NASCAR corporate identity and credibility on the line we provided even more specific evidence to Matt Weaver showing the comparison of 2019 to 2020.
When provided with the incontrovertible evidence, immediately, this happened:
Now things are really interesting; because not only is a multi-billion NASCAR credibility on the line, but so too is the credibility of a major publication, Auto Week Racing, that relies on their relationship to the auto-racing industry and NASCAR.
Either NASCAR was lying to Auto Week, or Mr. Matt Weaver from Auto Week was falsely attributing a position and denial claim to NASCAR.
After CTH presented those two scenarios to a very interested public. Mr. Weaver was forced to, well, let’s be kind, clarify his claim:
Sharing the exact quote because I misunderstood in real time what Steve Phelps said.
Funny how the truth cuts through the agenda of related interests.
So NASCAR President Mr. Steve Phelps doesn’t deny the “noose” was a simple garage door pull-down rope. Apparently, the previous attribution to NASCAR by Mr. Weaver was “misunderstood”…. uh huh… when the reality is Phelps “has no information on that.”
I share that dialogue exchange because it’s important to understand the scale of the multi-billion vested interests that surround this now international scandal based on accusations of fake hate; a racially driven hoax. There are lots of credibility and money at stake.
So with all of that context the big questions now surround motive. What would be the motives for the NASCAR team of Bubba Wallace to create a racially divisive hoax? What are the benefits and what would they accomplish?
Additionally, what would the motives be for NASCAR to promote a racial hoax with the intensity we have witnessed over the past two days? What would be the motive of NASCAR President Steve Phelps?
Perhaps a discussion between NASCAR President Mr. Phelps and Auto Week Racing editor Mr. Weaver will provide an answer:
[…] It’s no secret that NASCAR could begin to take on a new look come 2021. The league is anticipating schedule diversification, a revamped entitlement sponsor program and the continued evolution of television-digital rights.
And for the first time since the decline of NASCAR’s mainstream popularity began, the sanctioning body is publicly admitting what Phelps is calling a headwind — the challenges major league stock car racing will face as it looks to discover its place in modern American pop culture.
[…] “The relationships we have with NBC is incredible, so we entered into a joint advertising with them that allows us to be in more places with the same voice. There are a lot of incredibly positive things happening on the quote business side of NASCAR.”
[…] “We do know that the race-day experience or the race-day weekend is really important, so we’re working with our tracks to have them understand that, and we need to reinvent what I would call the event promotion and what that looks like. And that gets back to a collaboration effort which we are going to see to between our racetracks, NASCAR, our broadcast partners and our teams and drivers in order to promote this sport in a way we haven’t in the past.” (read more)
With a NASCAR goal to “discover its place in modern American pop culture” what better way to “promote this sport in a way we haven’t in the past”, than to go in search of a new audience. Perhaps the social justice community.
What would be the fastest way to engage a new “pop culture” audience? Perhaps, just perhaps…
Here’s another alarming part. Not a single driver or race crew could point out that all of this nonsense was created over a garage door pull-down rope tied into a loop? Those “nooses” are clearly visible in a bunch of NASCAR garage bays.
Is that level of willful blindness the result of a herd mentality where everyone knows the problem, but the false narrative has been pushed so hard that no-one wants to be ‘that guy’ who points out the obvious.
Is the racial sensitivity and peer pressure that strong in NASCAR?
Keep in mind the FBI responded to this hate hoax almost immediately; and yet what should have been, at best, outlined as a misunderstanding & solved in minutes has been allowed to drag out through the media for days…. while a toxic racial narrative is driven.
MEDIA – […] The racing organization said there is no place for racism in NASCAR and that the incident “only strengthens our resolve to make the sport open and welcoming to all.”
In addition, the US Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Alabama, FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division are reviewing the incident, US Attorney Jay E. Town said in statement.
“Regardless of whether federal charges can be brought, this type of action has no place in our society,” Town said.
A source with Richard Petty Motorsports told CNN that Wallace never saw the noose. A member of his team discovered it and immediately brought it to NASCAR’s attention, the source said. (more)
Pathetic. “The more he spoke of his honor, the faster we counted the spoons.”
Supporters of President Trump were elated Saturday as the first presidential political rally since the virus shutdown took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday, November 20.
However, it was one of the most disrupted, if not THE most disrupted campaign rallies in American history (with Coronavirus factors limiting it as well!) and the media goes wholesale into pushing that there was lack of interest in the rally. It was actually the most successful virtual political event since the Pandemic broke out.
Quite the state of things in this country where fascist tactics and methodologies are the primary means by which one party “conducts” an election campaign, including plans for violence and elaborate usage of major media to spread disinformation about the opposing candidate.
No wonder the Democrats (or should I say the anti-Trump united front) think they can convince the American people that a man with advancing dementia, whose family is willing to sacrifice him for the cause, can be elected to the highest office in the land.
Drunk in the quest for power, the Democrats continue to decimate the Constitution
Drunk with power, or more accurately, drunk in the quest for power they think they deserve, the Democrats continue to decimate the Constitution: making the House of Representatives into a Stalinist investigative and judging apparatus that disregards due process while turning elections into an easily manipulative process.
They find it acceptable to randomly limit the First Amendment rights of citizens while allowing massive destruction of our cities by looters and arsonists who use legitimate, legal, Constitutional protest as a cover for their crimes.
What began as a nationally unifying effort to see justice for a man who died at the hands of a rogue policeman has turned into a racially divisive attack on all law enforcement. A time of reviewing improper policing procedure turns into an attack on all white people, using racial stereotyping to accuse them of being inherently racist.
Black people live in increasing fear, intimidated by a false portrayal of police as being on a vendetta to harass and wantonly kill all of them because of what Democrats, Leftists, and their complying media call systemic racism.
The system is broken, they say, and police need to be defunded or dismantled. But the pattern of undermining our society by them becomes clearer, as they advocate removal of law enforcement of bloodthirsty Mexican criminal cartels on our southern border, and limiting law enforcement in our cities as crime escalates.
The ideologically bankrupt are posing as the intellectual elite and by inactivity we’ve rendered that as acceptable. In addition to the social and cultural decay resulting because of that, we’ve allowed insurrection sympathizers into the military leadership.
Reforming our policing system does not mean throwing out the Constitution. Yet forces seeking insurrection continue to build their funding and organizational networks for the purpose of doing just that.
The ideologically bankrupt are posing as the intellectual elite
One of the major organizations dedicated to revolutionary change hides its real intent with a phrase we can all agree to: Black Lives Matter (BLM). But the organization does not really dedicate itself to the pursuit of that ideal. Instead, it’s an organization headed by revolutionary Marxists that demands the fealty of those with white skin while seeking to take their wealth to fund their efforts to overthrow capitalism.
Yet the facts reveal they care little about their local organizations’ efforts to ensure that we have a society where all black lives really do matter.
“BLM Global Network spent $899,000 on travel, $1.6 million on consulting and $2.1 million on personnel costs during its 2017, 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, the financial statements show, together comprising 83.3% of its total spending during the three year period. BLM Global Network granted $328,000 to outside organizations, which include local BLM chapters, during that same time frame, a figure that represents about 6% of its total spending.”
“BLM did not create or build this new grassroots movement against police brutality and racism; they capitalized off a nameless groundswell of resistance sweeping the nation, branded it as their own, and profited from the deaths of Black men and women around the country without seriously engaging, as a national formation, in getting justice for fighting families.
“All the while raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars from high-end speaking engagements and donations from foundations that support the Black struggle.”
Since the Democrat Party is proclaiming themselves as the umbrella organization for all these disparate destructive forces, it’s more important than ever that Election Day 2020 on November 3 be one of defeating Democrats not only running for the US House and Senate and the White House, but those in state and local elections as well.
Walid Phares was the fifth [redacted] target of Robert Mueller’s expanded investigation as authorized by former Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein on August 2nd, 2017.
As Mr. Phares notes, the Mueller investigation was used by Obama-era politicians and officials as a mechanism to block President Trump from executing a divergent foreign policy. The primary policy to protect was the Iran deal.
There is increased speculation, based on a pattern in other international activities and U.S. participants, the Iranian deal included return payments to U.S. officials for the release of billions in funds and the loosening of sanctions. It is possible the return payments to the Obama team held a timing mechanism and the payments were stopped after President Trump withdrew from the deal and re-instituted sanctions. Thus the severity of opposition from western politicians who were scheduled to remain wealthy via Iran.
.
U.S. senators write foreign aid policy, rules and regulations thereby creating the financing mechanisms to transmit U.S. funds. Those same senators then received a portion of the laundered funds back through their various “institutes” and business connections to the foreign government offices. Example Ukraine [Burisma to Biden]
The U.S. State Dept. serves as a distribution network for the authorization of the money laundering by granting DC conflict waivers, approvals for financing (think Clinton Global Initiative), and permission slips for the payment of foreign money. The officials within the State Dept. take a cut of the overall payments through a system of “indulgence fees”, junkets, gifts and expense payments to those with political oversight.
If anyone gets too close to revealing the process, writ large, they become a target of the entire apparatus. President Trump was considered an existential threat to this entire process. In reality all of the U.S. Senators (both parties) on the Foreign Relations Committee [Members Here] are participating in a process for receiving taxpayer money and contributions from foreign governments.
A “Codel” is a congressional delegation that takes trips to work out the payments terms/conditions of any changes in graft financing. This is why Senators spend $20 million on a campaign to earn a job paying $350k/year. The “institutes” is where the real foreign money comes in; billions paid by governments like China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Ukraine, etc. etc. There are trillions at stake.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell holds the power over these members (and the members of the Senate Intel Committee), because McConnell decides who sits on what committee.
As soon as a Senator starts taking the bribes lobbying funds, McConnell then has full control over that Senator. This is how the system works.
The McCain Institute was/is one of the obvious examples of the financing network. And that is the primary reason why Cindy McCain is such an outspoken critic of President Trump. In essence President Trump is standing between her and her next diamond necklace; a dangerous place to be.
So when we watched the Senate Impeachment Trial; and we considered which senators were the focus of impeachment for President Trump, it was not just a matter of Democrats -vs- Republican. We saw a game of leverage, and the stand-off between those bribed Senators who would prefer President Trump did not interfere in their ongoing process.
McConnell has been advising President Trump. At the same time McConnell controls which senators get which indulgences. This is how he retains power.
Senator Lisa Murkowski rakes in millions from the Oil and Gas industry; and she ain’t about to allow horrible Trump to lessen her bank account any more than Cindy McCain will give up her frequent shopper discounts at Tiffanys.
Socialism destroyed NASCAR, now the corporation is marketing racism for a new audience. Here is how and why from a simple observer perspective.
Auto racing is exciting. Auto racing racing is also dangerous; and became very expensive. Years of NASCAR success put them into the spotlight of big business; then another thing happened… A decision was made to make the racing “more competitive” through a series of rules and regulations that essentially made every car different but equal. NASCAR followed the socialist corporate model.
NASCAR intentionally tried -and succeeded- to slow the cars down.
‘It’s too dangerous‘ the corporation said. So restrictor plates, and rules, and regulations, and more rules, and even more regulations, until every minute detail of the car was governed. If all cars are equal, the emphasis will be on driver skill the corporation said.
Race teams focused on an increasingly diminishing set of variables that could make a difference. Pit crews were one example of emphasis…. until after a few seasons all pit crews essentially became equal. And so it went, and so it went…
Throughout the process of extra safety, speed-limiting regulation and corporate-driven equality, guess what else happened… yup, NASCAR races became vanilla. All drivers were created equal by corporate decree; audience share started dropping along with speedway attendance. The racetracks saw more and more empty seats because corporate socialism was sucking the vibrancy out of an exciting and competitive sport.
It also didn’t help that during the era of corporate driven equality (1995 – 2020) all of the drivers became pansy-assed quislings more focused on their social media following than keeping connected to the smell of oil and dirty fingernails.
At the same time the NASCAR corporation went through their trying to ‘appeal to women audience‘ phase; and ‘trying to appeal to families’ phase; NASCAR drivers went through a period of historic emasculation and were encouraged to project their delicate sensibilities.
Corporate sponsors rewarded their political correctness.
Yes, eventually the average NASCAR driver was now holding her purse while picking out matching couch cushions. Dirty fingernails, callouses, appropriate cussin’, beer drinking and other natural attributes of high-testosterone endeavors – notsomuch.
The rise of the effeminate driver saw even more simultaneous drops in attendance and audience following. The corporate collapse of an exciting sport was achieved. NASCAR was socialized. All cars were made equal. The racing was promoted as a social event for politically correct corporate sponsorships and the mother-corporation was happy.
The corporate cultural mission was a success.
Except they had one problem.
NASCAR sucked now; they no longer had a defined audience.
Instead of being honest, accepting the failure that corporate socialism has delivered, the corporation doubles down. As with any governmental model, when socialism fails it’s never the command and control authority that delivered a bad outcome. In this parallel universe it’s not the corporate system that went wrong; it’s now the fault of the NASCAR fans who are no longer, well, fans.
Yup, it’s the fans fault.
NASCAR now considers their former customer base as non-intellectuals who don’t grasp the nuance and granular distinctions, nor appreciate their new socio-automotive artistic expressions.
How does a corporation make adjustments to their corporate socialism model without ever admitting their move to a socialist corporate model was the reason for their failure… They look for a new audience…. An audience that will appreciate their corporate justice model… An audience that will support socialism…. A social justice audience.
ALABAMA – […] The discovery of the noose Sunday afternoon in Wallace’s garage stall comes as the United States, and NASCAR in particular, more squarely address America’s systemic racism in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd.
Wallace, the only Black driver in NASCAR’s top circuit, has been an outspoken advocate of the Black Lives Matter movement and the corresponding protests against racism and police brutality. He wore an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt before one event, repainted his car with the “Black Lives Matter” phrase and pushed NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag.
NASCAR said it is investigating the noose, and federal investigators said they will review the incident as well.
“We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how seriously we take this heinous act,” NASCAR’s statement read. “We have launched an immediate investigation, and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport.”
The racing organization said there is no place for racism in NASCAR and that the incident “only strengthens our resolve to make the sport open and welcoming to all.”
In addition, the US Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Alabama, FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division are reviewing the incident, US Attorney Jay E. Town said in statement.
“Regardless of whether federal charges can be brought, this type of action has no place in our society,” Town said.
A source with Richard Petty Motorsports told CNN that Wallace never saw the noose. A member of his team discovered it and immediately brought it to NASCAR’s attention, the source said.
Wallace tweeted Sunday that the “despicable act” left him “incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and how persistent we must be in the fight against racism.”
“This will not break me, I will not give in nor will I back down. I will continue to proudly stand for what I believe in,” Wallace said. (read more)
Hey Bubba, put down your latte and hold her purse for the selfie please.
For those that still care, this has all the indications of a complete corporate con.
This ‘racist’ event has all the sniffs of a corporate marketing gimmick.
Just wait for it… you’ll see.
Coming soon Jussie Smollett and Bubba Wallace will join Colin Kaepernick to host the 2020 ESPN most fabulous athlete award. Meanwhile NFL stadiums and NASCAR racetracks will be nothing but sparsely attended empty venues.
And if you don’t acquiesce to the corporate media guilt campaign and purchase those tickets… you’re a bad person.
House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes appears on Lou Dobbs to discuss the latest developments in the ‘Spygate’ investigation, John Durham, AG Bill Barr and ultimately the SDNY moves involving Geoffrey Berman.
Lou Dobbs gets the big picture; if the political left is allowed to manipulate the 2020 election, and steal a presidential contest, the ramifications will be so serious the potential for the fabric of our nation to completely tear is quite possible. On a positive note, AG Bill Barr has made similar points in his conversation.
Shaun King is a well known Black Lives Matter con artist who has grifted on racial grievance for a decade even lying about his own family and race. Shaun King is white, provably white, and he found his professional & financial niche by conning black people, including Oprah Winfrey, into believing he is black. [Shaun King]
After spending several years drumming up racial division King attached himself to the very first well publicized BLM effort in Ferguson Missouri. There was a lot of money to be made selling the completely false Mike Brown story; so Shaun King hooked up with DeRay McKesson to create the new financial conduit known as Black Lives Matter. His scams and cons are very well known to long-term CTH readers.
Together McKesson and King sell a toxic stew of Marxism, racism, and hatred; and as a consequence their business model intersects with Islamic extremism. As we noted earlier there is a lot of similarity between 2010’s Islamist Spring and 2020’s BLM protests. Here’s the latest example courtesy of the lying, liar who lies for a living:
Under the ideology of Black Lives Matter Islam is the dominant and preferred religion; Christianity is viewed as against their interests. The reason is simple, the doctrines of Islam are political, the doctrines of the BLM movement are identically political.
Within the overall U.S. movement Antifa is essentially white ISIS and the Black Lives Matter crowd are racial grievance activists funded by coastal liberals and Marxists.
Here’s a video from about five years ago when Shaun King was exposed as a white man making money from the “black movement”. Watch how CNN anchor Don King instantly evolves into a defender and apologist… These people are sick, mentally.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler appears with for an interview by furrowed brow to discuss his upcoming use of former DOJ lawyers John W. Elias and Aaron S.J. Zelinsky as designated “whistleblowers” to give testimony against AG Bill Barr this week.
Zelinsky and Elias are being brought in to testify about their recommendation(s) for a nine-year prison sentence for Roger Stone & AG Bill Barr reducing that recommendation. The purpose of the Zelinsky/Elias move was specifically to get the AG to intervene. It was all a set up from the start; purposeful Lawfare. A resistance strategy, executed.
Within the interview Nadler outlines his hope that recently dismissed USAO Geoffrey Berman would join the crew of DOJ resistance members who would align against the current AG. However, Nadler retreats from any position that would actually target Bill Barr for impeachment proceedings. The reason is transparently obvious, Nadler recognizes any impeachment effort would serve as a mechanism for Barr to point out the gross level of corrupt political agendas within the former employees. WATCH:
.
By using his committee to attack Bill Barr, chairman Nadler positions himself to impugn the Attorney General as a defensive strategy against any sunlight from the ongoing “outside” USAO investigations, which includes John Durham. However, Nadler doesn’t want to provide a platform where Barr can use those attacks to trigger his releases.
AG Barr brought in five+ outside U.S. attorney’s to review all of the Mueller cases as an outcome of the FISA court order to conduct a sequestration review of any/all evidence that might have been used as an outcome of the fraudulently obtained Carter Page FISA warrant.
As CTH noted at the time…. “If you consider that several DOJ offices may be involved with the material under review, including the Southern District of New York; The Eastern District of New York; The Eastern District of Virginia; The Washington DC District, and even Main Justice itself; it makes sense that outside DOJ personnel would be needed for this review.”
There’s no direct evidence the recent DOJ moves are connected to the sequestration review, but with USAO John Durham looking deeply into the background of DOJ and FBI activity surrounding the effort to target candidate Trump, and later President Trump, there could be a possibility that several lanes are merging.
Obviously, AG Barr feels very confident to make the moves and subsequent recommendations to President Trump for replacements.
All of the exit moves and incoming replacements are coming to a head at the same time; early July. The current SDNY move is effective July 3rd, which is the same time that FBI chief legal counsel Dana Boente is leaving his position. Both Boente (FBI) and Jeffrey Berman (DOJ-SDNY) appear to be resigning by Bill Barr’s request; essentially being told to leave.
Other activity last week that may hold deeper connection:
♦On Monday June 15th, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler announced that two former Special Counsel Robert Mueller attorneys, John W. Elias and Aaron S.J. Zelinsky would be designated as “whistleblowers” to give testimony against AG Bill Barr. (LINK)
♦On Tuesday June 16th, the last remaining DOJ advisor to Jeff Sessions, Jody Hunt, announced his intent to leave the justice dept effective “early July”. (LINK) Mr. Hunt was Jeff Session’s chief-of-staff, and one of the key advisors responsible for the decision to recuse from the Mueller probe. (LINK)
♦On Wednesday June 17th, the DOJ announced that Solicitor General Noel Francisco will be departing: “Solicitor General of the United States Noel Francisco announces his departure from the Department of Justice, effective as of July 3, 2020.” (LINK)
♦And on Friday June 19th, Geoffrey Berman is removed and replaced at the SDNY office; and his exit is also timed for July 3rd. (LINK)
In addition to an identical exit time, one thing all of these departures have in common, including FBI legal counsel Dana Boente’s exit, is their connection to former AG Jeff Sessions (appointments) and DAG Rod Rosenstein (oversight); and ultimately each of these individuals is connected to the larger Robert Mueller special counsel activity.
Their previous work in the DOJ and FBI during the soft-coup insurance phase; which specifically involved the use of the special counsel appointment; in conjunction with the ongoing –and expanded– internal investigation by John Durham; which now includes seven or eight outside U.S. attorneys offices; just seems too coincidental.
The media are framing the use of outside attorneys as Bill Barr working on behalf of President Trump to undermine current and former prosecutions. However, understanding the January FISC order requiring the sequestration effort, the use of outsiders is absolutely necessary. This is a big shield that AG Barr is likely keeping in his back pocket until after Nadler launches his attack.
The same U.S. Attorneys, prosecutors and FBI agents who used evidence gathered from the fraudulent FISA warrants cannot be the same attorneys, agents and prosecutors making decisions about what parts of the warrants were used to gather evidence and how each part of any case was assembled by the use therein. It is a simple matter of a conflict of interest carried by any prosecutor that used corrupt evidence.
How is AG Bill Barr ever going to bring the background DOJ material to the forefront?
How does the AG present material to the public when he knows the resistance agenda is going to be to frame him as being politically motivated?
AG Barr knows the motive of Nadler is to diffuse the damning material from the DOJ investigation by shouting that Bill Barr is doing the bidding of President Trump.
Traditional approaches will not work in this highly partisan era. Even the most stunning evidence of prior DOJ/FBI politicization and misconduct will be obfuscated by media around the Nadler narrative. Taking the initiative to hold a press conference, to release investigative findings, will not work.
AG Barr needs a mechanism to bring the material to the public square.
AG Barr needs the initiative to originate within the opposition; that’s where Chairman Nadler’s attacks become purposeful.
The Robert Mueller team of FBI investigators and special counsel prosecutors certainly used the fraudulently obtained FISA warrants as part of their investigative evidence collection. Common sense would tell us this had to be the case or the FBI and Mueller team would not have requested July 2017 renewal of the FISA warrant two months after the special counsel team was assembled.
If the FBI & Special Counsel were not using the FISA warrant(s) to capture information, they would not have needed them renewed. Despite media spin to the contrary, the simple truth of the renewals holding investigative value is evident in the renewal itself (ie. common sense).
Under this rather extensive effort to find exactly which investigations -over the course of three years- were touched directly, or indirectly, by the four FISA warrants; and/or which investigative paths may have been influenced downstream or enhanced -by varying degrees of importance- by evidence stemming from the FISA warrants; a reasonable person could see how AG Bill Barr would need to put a team together to retrace the investigative steps and make the sequestration determinations.
Overlay USAO John Durham doing a deeper and more lengthy investigation that touches the edges of the underlying warrant, and, well, that’s quite a lot of review ongoing.
Obviously, for reasons of biased intent, corporate left-wing media would like to ignore why outside prosecutors are needed under this framework. The media ignore in part because honest reporting would require an admission the FISA warrants were fraudulently obtained; and in part because the left-wing media have never informed the public of the DOJ/FBI sequestration effort in the first place. Likely well more than half the country has no idea the DOJ and FBI have been told to go find the material.
There have been numerous articles, thousands of words, and endless hours of pundit protestations about Bill Barr using outside DC lawyers to review all of the previous DOJ attorney activities; yet not a single time have they ever acknowledged the originating order from the FISA court requiring the DOJ/FBI to conduct the review.
Imagine that?
(Washington Post Link) […] Shortly after the McCabe announcement on Friday, officials said that Barr had assigned Jeff Jensen, the U.S. attorney in St. Louis, to review and “assist” prosecutors currently handling the case of Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who is still awaiting sentencing after having pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during its investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The Jensen appointment marks the latest iteration of an unusual trend inside the Justice Department of tasking outside U.S. attorneys with reviewing, managing, or reinvestigating work that would otherwise not be in their portfolio. Much of the effort seems aimed at re-examining the work of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, whose probe of possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign infuriated the president, or at targeting the president’s foes. (read more)
Like I said, the Washington Post (above) and the New York Times (LINK) have both written pearl-clutching articles about Barr using DOJ “outsiders”; yet never once have they noted the FISA Court order that preceded all of these outside USAO’s entering the picture and receiving instructions from Bill Barr. In order for media ideologues to continue advancing their political narrative they have to pretend not to know things…
The outline IS HERE, and in the interests of my own time I’m going to be selfish and not re-re-duplicate it all again. However, the bottom line is this: Maltese Professor Joseph Mifsud was activated by compartmented Israeli intelligence allies of President Obama.
Walid Phares recently exposed and admitted he was targeted by the Mueller probe as the fifth [redacted] name in the August 2, 2017, authorizing the scope memo provided by former DAG Rod Rosenstein.
Rod Rosenstein recently admitted he signed the scope memo as it was presented to him by the special counsel team without asking any questions about it. Whatever the Mueller team asked for, Rosenstein granted without any interference. That was his testimony.
If you go back to the original assembly of candidate Trump’s 2016 foreign policy advisors, the recent releases now show that all five key team members were targeted by President Obama through the use of the intelligence apparatus; due to an overarching need by the former administration to retain previous foreign policy outcomes; including the Iran deal.
Paul Manafort = Ukraine/Russia
Carter Page = Russia/Ukraine
Michael Flynn = Turkey/Iran
Walid Phares = Egypt/Iran
George Papadopolous = Israel/Iran
Take that broad overview and apply it to all the current information about what took place and everything reconciles. This Big Picture approach does not conflict with reporting by Lee Smith, John Solomon and other solid researchers of the Obama foreign policy motive; instead it frames their individual assemblies as absolutely correct.
When the Obama-era U.S. intelligence apparatus proactively activated; and that includes pre-emptive action by CIA Director John Brennan; the potential for Trump foreign policy conflict triggered the deployment of intelligence units that were both foreign & domestic.
Fusion GPS and Chris Steele enhanced the fraudulent CIA and FBI investigations of Manafort, Flynn and Page. Notice George Papadopoulos is not mentioned in the Steele Dossier. Why? Because that was outside his lane of responsibility.
All of the Trump foreign policy people were sub-divided research targets. Each target was assessed and investigated based on their footprint of interest. Allied intelligence interests were activated to assist the Obama-era intelligence actors.
However, because Russia is technically not a U.S. allied intelligence interest, the Russians couldn’t play a similar role as other nations; hence, Fusion/Steele were needed. But for George Papadopoulos, the Obama apparatus had an intelligence community they could lean on to assist. That’s where Israel comes into the picture.
Compartmented Israeli intelligence units; those Israeli elements that were/are anti-Benjamin Netanyahu; activated an operation on behalf of President Obama’s U.S. intelligence needs. It was that Israeli operation that targeted Papadopoulos.
Once you accept that cornerstone, then everything in the background story of George Papadopoulos makes sense. Everything factually reconciles.
If my analysis is accurate then the redacted portion on Walid Phares would state:
•Allegations that Walid Phares
º Committed a crime or crimes by acting as an unregistered agent for the government of Egypt;
ETC.
This compartmented targeting explains why Israeli asset Charles Tawil was activated to give the $10,000 cash to George Papadopolous in July 2017 shortly before the Mueller team asked for the expanded scope memo (as above) on August 2nd.
#1) Papadopoulos was lured to Israel and paid in Israel to give the outline of a FARA premise (ie. Papadopoulos is an agent of Israel). #2) Bringing $10,000 (or more) in cash into the U.S., without reporting, is a violation of U.S. treasury laws. Add into that aspect the FARA violation and the money can be compounded into #3) laundering charges.
[A “laundering” charge applies if the money is illegally obtained. The FARA violation would be the *illegal* aspect making the treasury charges heavier. Note: the use of the airport baggage-check avoids the need for a search warrant (the agents didn’t have one).]
Andrew Weissmann and Brandon Van Grack (special counsel 951/FARA expert) were conducting an entrapment scheme that would have ended up with three violations of law: (1) Treasury violation; (2) FARA violation; (3) Money laundering…. All they needed was Papadopoulos to carry the undeclared cash into the U.S.
The key aspect is the FARA violation. As we have seen in the EDVA case against Flynn’s partner Bijan Rafiekian, the DOJ-NSD bizarre interpretation of FARA laws create a violation from any unregistered purposeful business contact with a foreign entity.
What Weissmann wanted for Papadopoulos was to create the same FARA scenario that previously trapped Manafort, Flynn and Rafiekian. They intercepted Papadopoulos in Washington DC because it was the customs port of entry. Papadopoulos was ticketed to Chicago with a transfer flight at Dulles.
However, because Papadopoulos suspected something, and left the money in Greece with his lawyers, upon arrival at the DC airport the sting operation collapsed in reverse.
No money means no treasury violation, no laundering and no evidence of the consultancy agreement; which would have been repurposed in the DOJ filing to mean lobbying for Israel via Mr. Tawil (FARA 951 violation) and Tawil would have become a confidential informant and witness (though Tawil would likely never be used to testi-lie because the special counsel would force a plea).
That operational collapse is why the FBI agents were “scrambling” at the airport and why they had no pre-existing criminal complaint. The DOJ couldn’t get a warrant because they couldn’t tell a judge their suspect was traveling with $10k from Israel because the judge would ask how they knew that.
The entrapment’s success was contingent upon the cash as a pre-existing condition; and arriving at a Federal airport means they didn’t need a search warrant.
Note how even if Papadopoulos didn’t have the full $10k, the DOJ-NSD would only have lost the treasury violation…. they could still have used any substantial amount of money to charge the FARA part of the business arrangement by questioning Papadopoulos about where he gained the cash from.
