In my thread discussing the bugging of the White House, I discussed the timing of the remodeling efforts with the Department of Justice efforts to identify leakers in the FBI. I also found something very curious about the remodeling that was aimed at 'bugs'
Like everyone else, CNN covered the surprise emptying & remodeling of the White House. Then they covered the renovations after the White House was reopened. cnn.com/2017/08/24/pol…
3) CNN noted that this remodeling is usually done around the Inauguration but that President Trump delayed the project until August. CNN even included the cost figures for the renovations. How helpful! #Spygate #MuellerInvestigation
CNN was also kind enough to let us know who the GSA White House Service Director identified as the contractors that performed the work on the @WhiteHouse. The carpet company jumped out at me, because it seemed like the name of a computer company not a carpet company.
5) Now why would you hire a computer & software company to install your carpets? Could this be another clue left by the WH to identify what work was really being done? I mean if they were so concerned about flies & other bugs they might need an exterminator. But a computer vendor
6) Why would you get your carpets installed by a company that is a federal contractor focused on a variety of computer & software products. I tried going to their website but it doesn't exist, but it is registered. So were they providing other services? usaopps.com/government_con…
7) Fortunately I found an address, a different non-functioning website, the company President's name & a phone number I redacted. Great, now to see what more I can find on this mysterious computer company that does WH carpets.
8) So I went to Map the site and found this wonderful street view with a different name on the building. Software Center, but when I followed the streetview pics around the building, there was no entrance for Software Center, which is listed occupying the same Suite. That's odd!
9) I got a bigger surprise when I moved for a wider view, the building disappeared! Yep the street views were from 2014, but the building is a construction site in the overhead views dated Sept 2017. So the contractor that was working in August, from a building that didn't exist.
10) But they were active in government contracting work just weeks ago. This site again lists them as a computer company & federal contractor. govtribe.com/vendor/microba…
11) This site lists their contract awards & suprisingly, this company got massive federal dollars starting in 3rd Quarter of 2016, which would have been April-June 2016. Then their contracting disappeared after June 2017. Why all of the contracting & then it disappears?
12) Curiously, there is not contracting in Q4 2017 when the White House remodeling project was completed. How could they have done the White House carpets if they received no contracts or payments? Very odd indeed.
13) But then when you click on their individual contract awards, there are lots of contracts for carpet & painting. Usually within sensitive portions of the government, judges chambers & even one for the US offices at the UN. govtribe.com/award/federal-…
14) I think this is most unusual, a computer company, that doesn;t really exist at it's location, installing carpets. Is this a cover for covert operations? Are they installing 'computer equipment & peripherals' behind those walls & under the carpets? I don't know, but searching
Another odd thing, they did this carpet work early in the Trump Admin. But I thought it was all delayed until August?
Then we find this little gem of a contract with GSA. Installation & repair of carpets for the EW & WW (East Wing & West Wing of the WH?) Contract awarded 8/6/16 completed 8/22/16. With an earlier contract to purchase materials. No where close to the million dollar contract in 17
17) The one thing I can't find, is the contract to replace the carpets in the White House during the period when it looks like the bugs were being cleaned. Were the even involved in the project? Or was there name given to CNN for another reason? Telling us where to look for bugs!
18) I've been able to find both URL addresses affiliated with Microbase Corp on the Internet Archive. Curiously the most recent website was active 1/10/16 but the site was dead on 3/12/16, right in the middle of the NSA detecting contractors with illegal FISA access from FBI.
19) Now there is just a holding page up for their website, but they didn't remove the subpages. They are still live, listing 3 employees. None of which seems to exist on search engines other then links to Microbase Corp & SoftwareCenter the name that used to be on the building.
20) This shows a lot of indicators of a front company, a building that isn't there, executives that are ghosts on the web, disappearing websites, & tons of Federal contracts that are outside their expertise. I think this is another case of the Trump Admin giving reporters clues.
21) Clues that if looked at critically, would have allowed the reporters to find something very curious. Something unexplainable. So who is Microbase Corp & what do they do for those federal contracting dollars? I suspect time will tell.
22) But who are these executives? Do they really exist? Are those really their names? And how do ghosts get so many contracts from the Federal government?
23) This is pre-January 2016 but it is a list of their customers they posted on tehir website. The one I found interesting is CACI also known as CACI International. They are a defense contractor & intelligence contractor. caci.com
24) This is of interest because of a newsworthy event regarding one of their employees. He plead guilty to lying to federal agents regarding stealing classified information. Since it was announced in May, not a single news report identified what company he worked for CACI Intl.
25) In May this guilty plea was announced, but the story is much more interesting. The suspect's home was actually raided on 11/3/16 prior to the election. The FBI found 60 notebooks full of classified information that he acquired from 2006-16. justice.gov/opa/pr/former-…
26) I haven't found anything connecting him to this carpeting contractor, but it is curious. That CIA contractor was conducting searches on US Persons in CIA & other databases & writing info in his notebooks. He smuggled them home, what did he do with this info? DOJ hasn't said
27) In my thread on the investigation of NSA data passed to Sid Blumenthal, it looks like that case may be connected. The timing is certainly suspicious as he was raided only a week after Admiral Rogers of NSA briefed the FIS Court on FBI allowing contractor access to NSA data.
28) You can find that thread here if you would like to learn more about those investigations.
29) I'm sorry about the delay in adding more to this thread. I ran into a problem when I found another couple of dozen rabbit holes at the bottom of this rabbit hole. So now I'm looking at dozens of other possibly fake companies none that really seem to have a public profile.

Breaking!
Neustar's access to government networks was worse than we thought!
And I thought they had everything!

It appears Neustar was subcontracted for EOP by Verisign, Inc. who had the federal contract to provide DNS services for ALL .gov websites!
#ButNothingsHappening
Verisign Inc. was providing DNS services for the entire .gov system under a contract with GSA.
The earliest contract that makes clear that they are managing the .gov domain for the federal government is in 2010 or 2011, but there are contracts earlier.
usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD…
Here is the contract from 2016 that was recently extended until June of 2022.
In 2014 when Neustar got access to do DNS services at the Executive Office of the President, Verisign was the contractor for all .gov domains. If Neustar was a subcontractor, it was for Verisign.

Durham's response to Sussmann's motion to strike Durham's notification of conflicts of interest hearing request by Durham.

courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
Durham says they shared a very limited amount of factual detail to make the judge aware of the conflict.
How much more do they have?

Last week they said the law firm says Bosworth wasn't involved but they want the judge to ask him in person.
Durham then takes a shot at the fake news people on both the left & the right who have "overstated, understated, or misinterpreted facts" from his motion!

Hi Marcy!

The worlds Swampiest commodities firm Glencore warns investors it is setting aside $1.5 Billion to pay fines in the US, UK & Brazil over corruption!
Glencore was run for 40+ years by Marc Rich of Clinton Pardon infamy.
They're connected to Russiagate too
#ButNothingsHappening
Glencore connects to almost every Swamp on the planet, which is why Clinton had to pardon Marc Rich to sabotage decades of cases prior to 2001.
But they kept doing the same deals, including involvement in Chad.
These prosecutions stem from cases as far back as 2009, with various executives being flipped along the way.

As expected, Sussmann's attorney's filed their motion for dismissal today.
Focusing on the materiality of his lies to the FBI, it's not going to work but this is meant for public consumption not the judge.
Let's see if he forces Durham to reveal more!
courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
But Sussmann did provide a false tip, the Alfa Bank information was false. At a minimum Sussmann knew the results were misleading & he was attempting to get the FBI to investigate Trump so he could leak that to the media & influence the 2016 election.
Judges almost always leave these decision to the trial & don't dismiss cases before the evidence is presented.

Another example of the #CollegeAdmission scandal revealing parents that may be linked to other crime.
Gamal Abdelaziz was convicted of bribery for admissions.
But he's a Wynn Casino exec who used to run their Macau casino. Macau is a Chinese money laundering hub.
I found a lot of examples where these parents were linked to other criminal activity, including a $1B heathcare fraud case in Florida.

Wow, Charlie Savage saying @nytimes readers aren't smart enough to understand the issues so they aren't covering it up. They just aren't covering it because their readers can't handle the truth because it is too complex.
So just tell them a fairy tale that it is misinformation.
@nytimes Where it gets interesting is that it is NYT's who started the story that Sussmann gave the CIA information from spying upon the White House.
Were they throwing Sussmann under the bus to distract from a bigger story?
This could all be false information trying to spin the NYTimes. But the researchers are claiming they were spying on the Obama White House, not the Trump White House, so why take that to CIA in Feb. 2017?
