Russiagate Turns On Its Originators
By Paul Craig Roberts
January 08, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - Russiagate originated in a conspiracy between the military/security complex, the Clinton-controlled Democratic National Committee, and the liberal/progressive/left. The goal of the military/security complex is to protect its out-sized budget and power by preventing President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia. Hillary and the DNC want to explain away their election loss by blaming a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the election. The liberal/progressive/left want Trump driven from office.
As the presstitutes are aligned with the military/security complex, Hillary and the DNC, and the liberal/progressive/left, the Russiagate orchestration is a powerful conspiracy against the president of the United States and the “deplorables” who elected him. Nevertheless, the Russiagate Conspiracy has fallen apart and has now been turned against its originators.
Despite the determination of the CIA and FBI to get Trump, these powerful and unaccountable police state agencies have been unable to present any evidence of the Trump/Putin conspiracy against Hillary. As William Binney, the former high level National Security Agency official who devised the spy program has stated, if there was any evidence of a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the US presidential election, the NSA would most certainly have it.
So where is the evidence? Why after one year and a half and a special prosecutor whose assignment is to get Trump has no evidence whatsoever been found of the Trump/Putin conspiracy? The obvious answer is that no such conspiracy ever existed. The only conspiracy is the one against Trump.
This has now become completely apparent.
Russiagate originated in a fake “Trump
dossier” invented by Christopher Steele, a
former British MI6 intelligence officer. It
is not yet clear whether it was the DNC, the
CIA, or the FBI who paid Steele for the fake
dossier. Perhaps he sold it to all three.
What we do know is that the FBI used what it
knew to be a fake dossier to go to the FISA
court for a warrant to spy on Trump.
As a consequence both Comey and the FBI, special prosecutor Mueller, and Christopher Steele are in hot water. The Chairman of the US Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Grassley, has instructed the US Attorney General to launch a criminal investigation of Steele for false statements to FBI counterintelligence officials. https://www.rt.com/usa/415105-senate-doj-steele-criminal/
You can see where this leads as former FBI director Comey is a participant in the Russiagate attack on President Trump. To protect himself Steele will have to rat on who put him up to it. If President Trump had any sense, he would put Steele under protective custody, as his life is clearly in danger. If the CIA and the FBI don’t get him, the Clintons surely will.
Trump’s easy election shook the Republican Establishment as well as it upset the Democrats and the military/security complex. The Republican Establishment hates losing control. Initially the Republican Establishment aligned with Trump’s enemies, but now understands that Trump’s demise means their demise.
Consequently, all of a sudden in Washington facts count. Not all facts, just those relating to the Steele dossier. Be sure you listen closely and carefully to these two videos of US Representative Jim Jordan’s destruction of US Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein for sitting on his ass while a totally corrupt FBI attempted to destroy the elected president of the United States. Keep in mind that Rosenstein is a member of the Trump administration. Why does the President of the United States employ people out to destroy him?
Here are the videos:
Here are 18 questions asked by US Rep. Jim Jordan:
1)
Did the FBI pay Christopher Steele, author
of the dossier?
2) Was the dossier the basis for securing
FISA warrants to spy on Americans? And why
won’t the FBI show Congress the FISA
application?
3) When did the FBI get the complete dossier
and who gave it to them? Dossier author
Christopher Steele? Fusion GPS? Clinton
campaign/DNC? Sen. McCain’s staffer?
4) Did the FBI validate and corroborate the
dossier?
5) Did Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, or Bruce Orr
work on the FISA application?
6) Why and how often did DOJ lawyer Bruce
Orr meet with dossier author Christopher
Steele during the 2016 campaign?
7) Why did DOJ lawyer Bruce Orr meet with
Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson after the
election? To get their story straight after
their candidate Clinton lost? Or to double
down and plan how they were going to go
after President-elect Trump?
8) When and how did the FBI learn that DOJ
lawyer Bruce Orr’s wife, Nellie Orr, worked
for Fusion GPS? And what exactly was Nellie
Orr’s role in putting together the dossier?
9) Why did the FBI release text messages
between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page?
Normally, ongoing investigation is reason
not to make such information public.
10) And why did FBI release only 375/10,000+
texts? Were they the best? Worst? Or part of
a broader strategy to focus attention away
from something else? And when can Americans
see the other 96% of texts
11) Why did Lisa Page leave Mueller probe
two weeks before Peter Strzok? This was two
weeks before FBI and Special Counsel even
knew about the texts.
12) Why did the intelligence community wait
two months after the election to brief
President-elect Trump on the dossier
(January 6, 2017)? Why was James Comey
selected to do the briefing?
13) Was the briefing done to “legitimize”
the dossier? And who leaked the fact that
the briefing was about the dossier?
14) The New York Times reported last week
that George Popadopoulos’ loose lips were a
catalyst for launching the Russia
investigation. Was President-elect Trump
briefed on this?
15) Why did Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson
meet with Russian lawyer Natalia
Veselnitskaya before and after her meeting
with Donald Trump Jr.?
16) Why was FBI General Counsel Jim Baker
reassigned two weeks ago? Was he the source
for the first story on the dossier by David
Corn on October 31, 2016? Or was it someone
else at the FBI?
17) Why won’t the FBI give Congress the
documents it’s requesting?
18) And why would Senator Schumer, leader of
the Democrat party, publicly warn
President-elect Trump on Jan. 3, 2017 that
when you mess with the “intelligence
community, they have six ways from Sunday at
getting back at you?”

Insouciant trusting gullible Americans who “believe in our government” have no comprehension how totally corrupt “their” government is. It is the most corrupt in the world. The corruption in Washington is really unbelievable. You have to experience it to know it, and those who experience it are part of it and will not tell.
The orchestration “Russiagate” proves that the CIA, the NSA, and the FBI are so corrupt and unaccountable that they comprise the greatest threat to the American people in the entire history of America. The only solution is to break these agencies into a thousand splinters, as President John F. Kennedy intended, and rebuild them from scratch with total transparency. No more protecting their vast crimes under the cloak of “national security.” No classification of any so-called intelligence unless it can pass a unanamous vote of Congress and the ACLU.
The orchestration of Russiagate is proof that the alleged “national security agencies” are an anti-American force detrimental to our survival as a free people. The criminals in the FBI, CIA, and DNC must be investigated, indicted, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned or freedom in America is forever dead.
If President Trump fails in this task, he will have failed America. Everyone of us will be the victims.
One question with which we are left is why has the mainstream media failed in its investigating and reporting responsibilities and instead served as a cheerleader for the orchestration known as Russiagate? The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, CNN, and the rest are serving as public relations agents for Russiagate, leaving it to Rep. Jim Jordan to ask the questions that the media should be asking. What explains the convergence of media and FBI/CIA interests? Are hidden subsidies involved? As the mainstream media is behaving as it would be if it were owned and controlled by the security agencies, this is a natural question. Why is the media not disturbed by its close relationship to the FBI and CIA? When did it become the function of the media to help the CIA and FBI control explanations?
