Sean Davis is confirming, through "sources," that, yes, Gina Haspel at CIA is almost certainly the roadblock to declass that Mark Meadows had in mind:
Intel Sources: CIA Director Gina Haspel Banking On Trump Loss To Keep Russiagate Documents Hidden
Haspel is hoping Trump loses his re-election bid so she can run out the clock on Russiagate document declassifications, multiple intelligence community officials told The Federalist.
I get so tired of knuckleheads--and you know who you are--who blame AG Barr for these problems. Was Bill Barr responsible for Haspel being placed at the top of CIA? Chris Wray at the FBI? Dan Coats at DNI?
Davis' account makes it clear the lengths the Deep State continues to go to thwart revelation of the whole truth about the Russia Hoax coup. Note, too, that the president himself as well as "the White House" is portrayed as having been involved in all this declass business. That's as I suggested in the prior post (Trump Back, Pushing For Declass), that Barr has had to repeatedly ask for Trump to get involved because Barr alone does not possess the full authority that the president has:
“Haspel and [FBI Director Christopher] Wray both want Trump to lose, because it’s the only chance they have of keeping their jobs,” one senior intelligence official told The Federalist. “They’re banking on Biden winning and keeping them where they are.”
...
“Haspel has repeatedly lied to the president about the status of documents to be declassified,” one intelligence community source said. “She will claim they don’t know where they are, or which agency technically owns them, and then we’ll find out she had them the entire time and just didn’t want them to see the light of day.”
“The frustration with Haspel is reaching nuclear levels,” one official said, noting that White House and top U.S. intelligence community officials have been taken aback by the ferocity of Haspel’s refusal to release documents.
I don't think the CIA had anything to do with the meeting between Mifsud and Papadopoulos. Rather, I think that was an FBI Counterintelligence operation.
ReplyDeleteI also don't think that the CIA had anything to do with the Downer memo. I think that that too was an FBI Counterintelligence operation.
The entire Papadopoulos affair was FBI Counterintelligence shenanigans.
I think the same about Page and Flynn.

I think the CIA based too much of its assessment on Oleg Smolenkov, who apparently reported to the CIA that Putin was directing an operation to "meddle" in the election. I think Smolenkov was a fabricator and that the CIA itself belatedly has realized the same. The CIA does not want that possibility to be revealed.
I wonder whether the CIA was involved somehow with Danchenko.
I think it's likely that many CIA analysts disagreed with Brennan's assessment that the Russian Government was meddling in the election.
Last but not least, Haspel was the CIA Chief of Station in London when the Skripals supposedly were poisoned by Russian Intelligence agents. The truth about that incident might be the biggest bombshell in this history.
"taken aback by the ferocity of Haspel’s refusal", at the behest of Rubio? Burr? Mitch? Collins?
ReplyDeleteGut feeling...
ReplyDeleteI don’t think Trump would take a hit if he fired Haspel now.
Be nice if he could appoint Grennel as acting CIA chief...
I agree. Would it affect the confirmation of the justice though... To me that's priority one right now.
DeleteMaybe worried the public will learn about CIA planting lies in foreign media to inject to domestic media?
ReplyDeleteCould be pretty much anything--from what we've seen so far it's difficult to rule anything out.

Had already read Part 1, both rather lengthy reads. Four years ago I would have called the core premise a wild-eyed conspiracy theory. Today I don't know. Reality makes rationality less obvious on a daily basis.
What could possibly be so important to hide that it is worth risking literally everything with little or no effort to conceal the obstruction.

@Tom S. Yeah, I saw that article by Dyer and read it. Quite fascinating stuff. She seems to be pretty good at her knowledge and research. Truly amazing if anything really comes about from all of this.
Delete“They’re *banking* on Biden winning and keeping them where they are.”
ReplyDeleteIf so, this is quite ominous, since they'd likely not bank on such a thing, unless they knew that The Fix is likely In.
With all their years of experience in the DS, they're likely *very* hip, to how The Fix gets put In.
Biden wins, we are done as a country.
ReplyDeleteOh, we will flounder on, but it will not be anything like any of has experienced. The Republican party and any conservative will be hunted down, physically and by the.
It’s already happening before our eyes.
Who cares, right? I mean, if you look at humanity in toto, humanity screams, demands to be oppressed and lorded over.
The Grand Experiment is dead if Biden wins. It is still of life support if Trump wins, but has a fighting chance.
Ya think I am being extreme?
Look around. Stop keeping your head in the sand.

Jeez, sorry for the typos.
DeleteI truly think we are at a precipice.
- TexasDude
@Texas Dude... What you're suggesting is our way of life, our values, our morals etc... will be forever changed. Like an institution... the Republic will slowly shift culturally, emotionally, and spiritually.
DeleteYeah, kind of depressing to think of. Hope and faith in the American spirit is what we have to continue to teach our children. Freedom, respect, and traditions will stand the test of time.
The Republic will slowly shift culturally, until the Dems get in the mood to deploy the DS, to smash all effective non-Dem activity.
DeleteSooner, rather than later.
If it goes down that road, I would prefer sooner than later. I'm only getting older. Honestly I expect to be marching on DC in November. And I'm not alone.
DeleteI don't know, whether marching on DC in November is wiser than other possible options.
DeleteI'll guess that, rather than "marching", patriots should show up in autos, daring DC cops to try drag
folks out of the autos.
If you have your door locked, will the cops break the windows to get to you?
Think Guerrilla Theater.
In California Ballot Harvesting was made legal for the midterms, and a lot of GOP Reps lost. And Ca as a one party state has been getting crazier and crazier.
ReplyDeleteAnd the motor dmv registration act Clinton put in has a lot of issues (that Ryan’s gop majority did nothing on). Voter fraud seems to be one of these third rails neither party wants to touch. Gop due to fears of being labeled racist.
And the voter fraud I’m seeing in other states worries me. Vote by mail miraculously seems to result In Democratic majorities.
And the power of the Internet giants, and their leftist bias, terrify me.
I hope Trump gets re-elected, along with a gop house and senate.
ReplyDeleteNumber one reason Haspel and Wray want Trump to lose is to avoid being prosecuted.
Alas, they not merely want, but seem to be *banking*, on Biden winning, so they can avoid being prosecuted.
ReplyDeleteIf so, this is quite ominous, since they'd likely not bank on such a thing, unless they knew that The Fix is likely In.
With all their years of experience in the DS, they're likely *very* hip, to how The Fix gets put In.

Yes I did, thanks. It's basically old news, although always relevant.
DeleteI abhor the the rhetoric that this election is the most dire one. It’s a staple of most elections since I have been alive.
ReplyDeleteProblem I have is the theory we have operating under a post-constitutional government for a long time. Some like to point to Lincoln, but I think that is utterly wrong. It appears to have just after Lincoln with the US allowing the entire Democrat South to ignore it, gained some legs in the early 20th Century, gained some more legs with the depression, and, to shorten this, got real with W and the Patriot Act.
I feel that this is an inflection point.
- TexasDude
Yeah, it "got real with W and the Patriot Act", so that it was just a matter of time, before a PotUS used the DS tools of that Act, to really tee off on the Out party.
DeleteWhat wasn't inevitable was, that the PotUS who did this would have such an SJW mov't at his back, which would be so good at intimidating its foes, that DoJ Line Attys shy away from working with Barr, to prosecute an historic orgy of DS criminality.
Arguably, the Western world hasn't seen a large mov't of such fanaticism, since Germany, c. 1930:

The White House Counsel's office needs to send a few lawyers over to see Haspel with a letter signed by Trump to turn over the documents immediately, meaning while they are there.
ReplyDeleteIf she hesitates, they need to talk to her subordinates to turn them over if any of them want to keep their jobs.
