#SussmannTrial #SpecialCounselDurham
Upcoming today: former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker.
His testimony began late yesterday, describing his relationship with Sussmann
Sussmann used to work for the DOJ, and Baker considered him an expert in cyber security and someone he trusted
Baker said that he learned some time in 2016 that Sussmann was representing the DNC on cyber issues.
But Baker did not know Sussmann was representing DNC/Hillary on political issues.
Baker was shown the text message Sussmann sent him setting up the meeting.
This goes directly to the criminal charge of lying to the FBI.
As the prosecutor said at the outset, "this is the case about privilege".
Sussmann had privileged access to the top echelons of the FBI, and had their trust. That's why he was sent.
Sussmann even had security badge and could wander around the FBI building!

Chronology of the Clinton Plan.
July 6, 2016: FBI snitch, CIA ops and political dirty tricks guy Stefan Halper gives a speech at Cambridge, says the only way Hillary can win is to distract from her email server problems by getting the media to focus negatively on Trump. /1Image
July 11-12, 2016

Present are: Hillary proxy Madeline Albright, former MI6 head Richard Dearlove, Carter Page, Australian ambassador Alexander Downer. /2 Image
At the July 11, 2016 conference with Albright, Carter Page, Dearlove, Downer, Halper repeated what he said on July 7–that the only way Hillary can win is by distracting from her email server scandal by getting media to go negative on Trump. At the same conference, former head of MI6 Dearlove stated that Donald Trump was a risk to national security. /3Image

Hello, America!

Let me introduce (or re-introduce) myself.

My name is Svetlana. I was born in Soviet Union and emigrated to England aged 18. I am a British citizen. I am a historian, teacher and author.

I studied at the University of Cambridge, achieved BA (Hons), MA, MPhil and was a PhD candidate specialising in European History when my life was turned upside down.

I am an ordinary person who got dragged into extraordinary events.

In a quiet English university town, a bunch of old intelligence operatives were plotting how to stop Donald Trump, the disruptor/change candidate.

(To be continued.)
In 2014, I was a postgraduate student at Cambridge University. I was teaching Modern European History and doing my PhD research.
A distinguished visitor came to Cambridge: Head of Defense Intelligence Agency LTG Michael Flynn. I was invited, together with other students, to attend a talk given by @GenFlynn followed by a formal dinner. The dinner was hosted by former head of British intelligence, the Master of Pembroke college Richard Dearlove. My professor Christopher Andrew told me to attend. He wanted me to show my historical research to Gen Flynn.
(To be continued)
The Cambridge dinner was a formal affair, senior people talked, students sat there quietly until told to speak. Towards the end of the dinner my professor asked me to show Gen Flynn a historical document I discovered in the archives: a postcard that young Joseph Stalin, then a revolutionary on the run, sent to his comrade to say he arrived safely in Sweden after his escape from
Siberia. The document was intercepted by the Tsarist secret police, and later when Stalin rose to power, ended up in his archive. It was a so-called cognitive dissonance: someone we know of as very powerful previously being on the run from the secret police.

The Office of the DNI are working diligently to source evidence across the Intelligence Community—the CIA, the NSA, etc.
The goal is to hold those responsible to account for the Russia Hoax. /1
“The more we dig, the more we find”- DNI Gabbard, referring to the Russia Hoax documents.
Despite encountering resistance, her team are finding more and more documents and passing them onto US Attorneys for use in potential prosecutions /2
“Show me the man, I will show you the crime” is how the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard describes the intelligence operations against President Trump and his close associates, such as Gen Flynn./3

Top Russia Collusion Hoaxers.
Let’s start with Andy McCabe.
Q: “Do you still believe the President could be a Russian asset?”
“I think it’s possible. That’s why we started our investigation, and I’m really anxious to see where Mueller concludes that” (February 19, 2019, CNN)Image

History repeating?

May 2018: "Far from the top-secret, covert intelligence asset the FBI has depicted him as, Stefan Halper is a longtime, well-known CIA operative, with ties to the Bush family and a shady past."

theintercept.com/2018/05/19/the…
"Despite what Halper actually is, the FBI and its dutiful mouthpieces have spent weeks using the most desperate language to try to hide Halper’s identity and the work he performed as part of the 2016 election. "
theintercept.com/2018/05/19/the…
"[Comey's friend, Brookings’ Benjamin] Wittes’ claim that all of this resulted in the “outing” of some sort of sensitive “intelligence source” is preposterous given how publicly known Halper’s role as a CIA operative has been for decades."

History of the 4th (final) FISA on team Trump that might be relevant to the current news.
The warrant application was made in June 2017, six months into Trump presidency, and lasted until Sept'17.
It was signed by Rosenstein/McCabe and approved by judge.
It lacked probable cause
2/ When the fourth FISA (that was found to lack probable cause) was released in 2018 it looked like this:
3/ Judicial Watch believe that then-president Trump declassified the final (illegal) FISA and are now suing for it.
