China's Trade Deceit and the Russia Hoax Set-up of President Trump : Will Justice Ever Be Served?

THE CHINA TRADE DEAL ISSUES AND DEEP STATE REVELATIONS ROLL ON. And, a lot of it is spelled "corruption." • • • THE CHINA TRADE DEAL HOBBLES ON. American Thinker's Chriss Street reported on Monday that : "President Trump threatened to kill the trade deal and slap new tariffs on $325 billion on Chinese imports after the US Department of Defense warned of rapid expansion of China’s nuclear triad. With most analysts expecting the Trump administration and Chinese leaders would soon sign a ceremonial end to an 10-month trade war, the Pentagon published its 2019 ‘Annual Report on Military and Security Developments by the People’s Republic of China.’ The MSD details aggressive efforts by the Chinese navy to establish full-time presence in the Indian Ocean basin and Arctic Ocean, pursue hypersonic anti-ship missiles, efforts to achieve 5G world communications dominance, and the possible military dimensions of the Belt and Road Initiative, according to Geopolitical Futures. The MSD warns that after benefiting from a two decade 'period of strategic opportunity' to facilitate domestic development and expand 'comprehensive national power,' China now intends to leverage its 'Made in China 2025' domestic economic agenda with its international 'One Belt, One Road' initiative to gain 'regional preeminence.' " • Street states : "The MSD highlights that the Peoples’ Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) now fields Asia’s largest navy with more than 300 surface combatants and poses a credible sea-based nuclear deterrent with four nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, six nuclear-powered attack submarines, and 50 diesel attack submarines. The 2019 MSD illuminates China’s deployment of hypersonic maritime weapons capable of traveling more than five times the speed of sound to penetrate anti-missile defenses to potentially strike US ships and aircraft carriers. PLAN is now focused on producing hypersonic two-stage nuclear capable 'glidecraft' missiles that can rise to space, travel at up to 20 times the speed of sound, and then dive down to hit targets. China is making 'asymmetric' progress in space, counterspace, electronic warfare, and cyberspace weapons. China also relies on 'grey zone' military activities that include utilizing armed fishing vessels with 'little blue men' that serve as a marine militia to provide area denial and harass foreign shipping in the South and East China seas." • Street also says that : "Recognizing that these programs have sparked concerns about its intentions, Geopolitical Futures remarked that China’s leaders have softened the rhetoric promoting these programs without altering the programs’ strategic 'global force' goals. • Secretary of State Mike Pompeo initially said the test would not derail diplomacy. But, Street saw as problematic President Trump's Sunday tweet storm threatening to raise the current 10% tariffs on $200 billion Chinese goods to a 25% level on Friday and impose 25% tariffs on another $325 billion of Chinese imports 'shortly' as a response to the MSD as Chinese Vice-Premier Liu headed to Washington to meet with US trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer for the 11th and “final round” trade talks. Beijing authorities stated that US tactics to “generate pressure” should not be taken “seriously.” • CNBC reported later on Monday that Chinese Vice Premier Liu He is still set to lead a Chinese delegation in trade talks in Washington this week, according to US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. Fears had grown about trade talks getting derailed following President Donald Trump’s threat to levy new tariffs on Chinese goods, but CNBC says "Liu’s presence could be telling -- "market watchers considered it more likely that the US would hike tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods to 25% from 10% if he did not attend the talks" and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said "the US would reconsider the duties if talks get back on track." But, CNBC added : "US officials on Monday accused China of reneging on commitments made as part of the negotiations....Lighthizer described an 'erosion of commitments' on the part of the Chinese....US officials said they saw a shift in tone in the talks over the weekend. Mnuchin said China wanted to go back on clear commitments that had the potential to change the deal significantly. Lighthizer and Mnuchin did not comment on the separate tariffs on $325 billion in Chinese products that Trump threatened in a tweet Sunday." • • • MORE OBAMA FBI/DOJ CABAL SCHEMING FALLS OUT OF NELLIE OHR EMAILS. TheHill's John Solomon, in a largely media-ignored report last Wednesday, wrote : "First came the text messages between FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, which gave us a painful glimpse at potential political bias inside America’s most famous crime-fighting bureau. Now, a series of 'Hi Honey' emails from Nellie Ohr to her high-ranking federal prosecutor husband and his colleagues raise the prospect that Hillary Clinton-funded opposition research was being funneled into the Justice Department during the 2016 election through a back-door marital channel. It's a tale that raises questions of both conflict of interest and possible false testimony. Ohr has admitted to Congress that, during the 2016 presidential election, she worked for Fusion GPS -- the firm hired by Democratic nominee Clinton and the Democratic National Committee to perform political opposition research -- on a project specifically trying to connect Donald Trump and his campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to Russian organized crime. Now, 339 pages of emails from her private account to Department of Justice (DOJ) email accounts, have been released under a Freedom of Information Act request by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch. And they are raising concerns among Republicans in Congress, who filed a criminal referral with the Justice Department on Wednesday night. They clearly show that Ohr sent reams of open-source intelligence to her husband, Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, and on some occasions to at least three DOJ prosecutors : Lisa Holtyn, Ivana Nizich and Joseph Wheatley. The contents tracked corruption developments in Russia and Ukraine, including intelligence affecting Russian figures she told Congress she had tried to connect to Trump or Manafort." • Here is an email quote Solomon cited : “ 'Hi Honey, if you ever get a moment you might find the penultimate article interesting -- especially the summary in the final paragraph,' Nellie Ohr emailed her husband on July 6, 2016, in one typical communication. The article and paragraph she flagged suggested that Trump was a Putin stooge : 'If Putin wanted to concoct the ideal candidate to service his purposes, his laboratory creation would look like Donald Trump.' Nellie Ohr bolded that key sentence for apparent emphasis." • Solomon says : " Such overt political content flowing into the email accounts of a DOJ charged with the nonpartisan mission of prosecuting crimes is jarring enough. It raises additional questions about potential conflicts of interest when it is being injected by a spouse working as a Democratic contractor trying to defeat Trump, and she is forwarding her own research to her husband's department and co-workers. • Solomon says that House GOP investigators who reviewed Nellie Ohr’s emails "believe that their timing may be essential to understanding how the false Russian narrative -- special counsel Robert Mueller's report did not establish there was Trump-Putin collusion -- may have gotten such credence inside DOJ and intelligence circles despite its overtly political origins. For instance, just 24 days after the anti-Trump screed was emailed, both Ohrs met in Washington with British intelligence operative Christopher Steele. Nellie Ohr testified that she had known Steele from past encounters and learned at that July 31, 2016, meeting at the Mayflower Hotel that Steele, like herself, was working for Fusion GPS on Trump-Russia research. She said she learned that Steele had concerns that he hoped the DOJ or FBI would investigate, with help from her husband. The next day, Bruce Ohr used his official DOJ position to go to then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe with Steele’s allegations (later to become known as the Steele Dossier), and the bureau opened its first investigation into Russia collusion. When asked by House lawyers during her deposition last year, Nellie Ohr testified that she did not discuss her Fusion GPS research before fall 2016 with anyone except possibly her husband (which she refused to answer, citing marital privilege) and Steele at the hotel meeting. Bruce Ohr testified that his wife gave him a thumb drive of research to provide to the FBI during the 2016 election. 'At any point prior to fall of 2016, did you discuss your research on organized crime and Donald Trump with individuals outside of Fusion GPS, outside of this Mayflower breakfast meeting?' Nellie Ohr was asked during her congressional testimony last fall. 'No,' she testified. BUT, the DOJ emails show that Nellie Ohr frequently forwarded open-source research on Russian organized crime figures, Trump, Manafort and developments in Ukraine with implications for the Trump campaign. For instance, she directly alerted her husband and two DOJ prosecutors specializing in international crime on May 30, 2016, to the discovery of 'black ledger' documents in Ukraine. 'Reported Trove of documents on Ukrainian Party of Regions’ Black Cashbox,' Nellie Ohr wrote her husband, Holtyn and Wheatley, attaching a news article on the announcement of the Ukrainian release of the documents. Those documents eventually led Manafort to resign from the Trump campaign and face criminal prosecution by Mueller’s team for improper foreign lobbying. • Solomon tells us that : "Two months earlier, in March, 2016, Holtyn asked Bruce Ohr for permission for Wheatley and another DOJ prosecutor to speak to Nellie Ohr. 'Do you think she would be comfortable with talking to them, and would it present any conflict of interest issues for her or for you?' Holtyn wrote. Bruce Ohr forwarded the request to his wife : 'Hi honey! I trust you are okay with this? Love, B.' She wrote back two consecutive emails with the words 'Sure!' and 'Cool.' There is no indication in the emails about what the three discussed. But Holtyn and Wheatley were among those who received some of Nellie Ohr’s Russia/Ukraine research. Holtyn sent a second email suggesting Nellie Ohr had 'impressive knowledge' on a topic that was redacted from the released email chain and could be 'of assistance' to the DOJ. Officials told me they believe the topic was Russian oligarchs, a subject her husband was working on in his official role. 'Thanks so much Nellie. I’m back in country and will touch base soon on the email you sent us yesterday,' Wheatley wrote on May 4, 2016, after Nellie Ohr forwarded information on a Spanish arrest warrant against Russian crime figures. On more than one occasion, Nellie Ohr forwarded articles about Oleg Deripaska, the Russian aluminum magnate and former Manafort business partner. She testified that Deripaska was one of the focal points of her research. As it turns out, the Russian also was being targeted by her husband and Steele. Emails, text messages and handwritten notes show that, during the 2016 campaign, they repeatedly discussed approaching Deripaska about delivering dirt on Manafort. The FBI eventually did so in fall 2016." • Representative Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), one of those who questioned Nellie Ohr last fall, said he is reviewing the accuracy of her testimony given the recent emergence of the emails. “If Ms. Ohr used her time at the opposition research firm to place information directly in the hands of investigators, it would be a severe conflict of interest,” Meadows told Solomon. “Contrary to Ms. Ohr’s congressional testimony, it appears that she funneled research gathered during her time at Fusion GPS directly to the DOJ. A draft of a criminal referral for giving false testimony to Congress is currently being reviewed.” • Tom Fitton, head of Judicial Watch, said the memos raise serious questions of a conflict of interest hidden behind a marriage : “The documents show that Nellie Ohr had extraordinary access to the Justice Department. Nellie Ohr may as well as have had a desk at DOJ." • John Solomon states : "Whatever transpires, it is clear Nellie Ohr was no ordinary spouse during the 2016 election. She was a robust source of Russia information for her husband and his colleagues inside the DOJ, at the same time her employer was trying to smear Trump. And that should concern us all." • Is it any wonder that President Trump is refusing to cooperate with the Deep State and Swamp Democrats who supported the Deep State cabal to impeach him??? • • • THE UNITED KINGDOM IS ACCUSED OF SPYING ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. Patriotic Viral News reported on April 29 that former CIA analyst Larry Johnson says the US spied on the Trump campaign and passed information on to the Obama administration. Patriotic Viral News states : "For the past two years, Democratic politicians have done everything in their power to prove that Trump colluded with Russia in order to win the 2016 election. According to one former CIA analyst, though, it wasn’t the GOP and Russia that were guilty of collusion but rather the Democratic Party and the United Kingdom. During the 2016 election, the UK reportedly spied on the Trump campaign and passed the info onto the Obama administration, where it was then undoubtedly used by Trump-hating officials. While colluding with the UK may not seem as serious as colluding with Russia given that the U.K. is allied with the United States, the crime is still the same. Working with any foreign powers to influence a US election is a treasonous crime that cannot be overlooked. To make matters worse, this isn’t the only accusation of collusion that the Democratic Party is now facing. According to a New York Times article, Hillary Clinton and her campaign also colluded with Russian officials in order to put together the Steele Dossier -- a faulty piece of opposition research that was unlawfully used to launch the Mueller investigation. Now that the truth is finally starting to trickle out, it seems as if Democrats may end up being guilty of every crime they’ve been accusing Trump of committing.

American Thinker's John Leonard wrote on April 13 : "For most of my lifetime, 'Watergate' has been used as the measuring stick for political corruption. What exactly was the Watergate scandal? On June 17, 1972, five men were arrested for burglarizing the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D C. It was never alleged that President Richard M. Nixon knew about the burglary prior to the attempt, but that he tried to use the power of the presidency to obstruct justice in order to protect members of his administration and his reelection committee from facing criminal charges. Ultimately, Nixon was forced to resign in order to avoid congressional impeachment and a trial in the Senate....The break-in was stupid and unnecessary. And most importantly, it was illegal. Sure, the people initially apprehended were only a couple of Cuban refugees and a pair of former CIA spooks, but James W. McCord was with them -- a security coordinator for the Republican National Committee and Committee for the Re-election of the President. Investigators were eventually able to connect those five to G. Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt, and those seven men were indicted by a grand jury on September 15, 1972. Over the course of the Watergate scandal, 69 people were eventually indicted, and 48 were found guilty. Nixon was pardoned by President Gerald Ford on September 8, 1974, officially putting an end to the whole sordid matter." • Leonard says : "Since that fateful turn of events, political scandals are typically compared to Watergate and inevitably judged to have fallen short....In a delicious irony, this week Attorney General William Barr implied that a new bar might have been set (pun intended) during the 2016 election cycle when he announced that he believes President Trump’s political campaign was spied upon by the federal government. Just let that sink in for a moment and noodle around in your brain. In 1972, Republicans were caught using former CIA operatives to spy on their political rivals. In 2016, Democrats have now been caught using active FBI and senior Department of Justice employees to spy on President Trump. It is no longer debatable whether or not it happened, because AG Barr just told us it happened. The only question that remains is whether or not they had any sort of justifiable reason for doing so, except that question seems to have already been resolved by special counsel Robert Mueller, because his report found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. In fact, the opposite appears to be true -- it looks as if federal agencies conspired with foreign governments to entrap peripheral members of the Trump campaign." • "Heads need to roll," says Leonard : "This appears to the crime of sedition, the act of conspiring to incite rebellion against the authority of our government. If it could be proved that a foreign government had been involved in the conspiracy, the crimes involved might even rise to the level of treason. Sedition is bad enough. At the heart of the Watergate scandal was a bungled burglary. No one got hurt. If Nixon hadn’t tried to obstruct justice, his presidency might have survived the scandal. Watergate is about to become ancient history because it pales in comparison to what the Obama administration just did. Innocent American citizens have had their lives destroyed in a criminal attempt to topple the Trump administration." • Leonard explains the 2016 campaign : "To the surprise of pretty much everyone except Donald Trump, he rose to the top of the field and became the Republican nominee. Despite Bernie Sanders appearing to win most of the primaries and having the enthusiasm of most liberals behind him, Hillary Clinton became the Democratic nominee because the fix was in before the votes were cast. While working for the Democratic National Committee and campaign of Hillary Clinton, Marc Elias (from the law firm Perkins-Coie) hired Fusion GPS to create opposition research now commonly known as the 'Steele Dossier,' a collection of memos full of salacious unsubstantiated rumors and ridiculous claims that only a gullible maverick like Senator John McCain would believe. Fortunately for the conspirators, McCain passed the dossier over to James Comey at the FBI, giving the Obama administration an excuse to open a counter-intelligence investigation into Trump even though they knew the 'information' originated from the Clinton campaign and was unverified. How did they know? Bruce Ohr told them. And how did Bruce know? His wife, Nellie, works for Fusion GPS. Meanwhile, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and others working within the FBI and Obama’s Department of Justice conspired to exonerate Hillary Clinton of serious crimes while charging her opponent with egregiously false, manufactured accusations of colluding with Russia. How can this not be a plot to overthrow our government? To make matters worse, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, James Clapper, and Sally Yates were all guilty of improperly 'unmasking' innocent American citizens for nefarious political reasons, which led to General Michael Flynn’s unfair prosecution by Mueller after FBI officials had concluded he wasn’t lying to them during their unfair interview." • Leonard asks: "How can this happen? Where does the buck stop? Although President Obama frequently claimed he never knew about anything until after he’d seen it in the news, he might not be able get away with pleading ignorance this time. According to texts sent between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, President Obama wanted to know everything they were doing. In contrast, Nixon didn’t find out about the Watergate break-in until after it had already happened. Barack Obama has a big problem. He’s apparently involved in this effort to overturn the results of a presidential election up to those oversized ears of his. Somebody will probably start singing to get a reduced sentence pretty soon, and if they can corroborate their testimony with evidence, Obama can stop worrying about his legacy and start worrying about his imminent future. The penalty for sedition calls for up to twenty years in prison, and it is unlikely that President Trump would consider a pardon of Obama under the circumstances, because he was the target of this conspiracy. Dan Bongino calls it 'Spygate,' but some people confuse that with a different scandal involving the New England Patriots and New York Jets. Perhaps we should call this ugly blemish on American history 'Obamagate?'....Will there be a patriot in the Democratic Party with the courage to paraphrase the same question Howard Baker posed about Watergate in 1972 : 'What did the President know, and when did he know it?' " • • • WILL THE "OTHER SHOE" OF THE RUSSIAN COLLUSION HOAX FALL ON THE DEMOCRATS? BizPac Review reported on Tuesday that Representative Tom McClintock told Fox News Channel’s Neil Cavuto that the possibility of Robert Mueller testifying in front of Congress could backfire on Democrats by unearthing the details about what sparked the special counsel investigation into alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 election. BizPac Review says : "The California Republican admitted he had 'a lot of questions,'...telling Cavuto that he hopes Mueller does agree to appear before Congress to testify about the investigation and his subsequent report. 'I’d like to know why he showed so little interest in how the greatest lie in the history of American presidential politics entered the public discussion,' McClintock said, adding that he would also ask Mueller why he 'stacked his investigators with Democratic partisans.' Democrats on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees want to hear from Mueller and are hoping to get him before Congress....Cavuto asked McClintock : "Do you think that's what a lot of people are waiting to hear, what got this investigation going? And then maybe Democrats, your colleagues, are very concerned about what they will reveal, hence this sort of brushfire, preoccupation with everything Barr said, with what everything Mueller pointed out in the report, to deflect? What do you think of that?" McClintock responded : “Well, that’s the other shoe that’s about to drop. We now know that this was a lie. That’s all laid out very clearly. Despite 22 months of investigations, millions of dollars spent, they were not able to find any evidence of collusion,” he continued. So we now know that was just a great hoax....I think it’s important that we find out how this hoax developed and how it was used by senior officials in the FBI, in the intelligence agencies, in the Department of Justice and perhaps at the White House itself to influence our elections process, and, having failed to do that, having it -- using it to undermine the President of the United States.” • • • EVEN FOOTNOTES IN THE MUELLER REPORT ARE TROUBLING. BlabberBuzz published an article by Aaron Klein on Monday with the title "Mueller Report: FBI Obtained Page FISA Warrant with 'Different (and Lower) Standard' of Evidence Featured." Klein wrote : "A largely unreported footnote in special counsel Robert S. Mueller’s final report raises immediate questions about the Obama-era FISA warrant obtained to monitor the communications of Carter Page, a tangential advisor to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Mueller’s report explained that his team did not find evidence that can be used to charge anyone from the Trump campaign as acting as an agent of a foreign government. It says the FISA warrant to spy on Page was obtained using a 'different (and lower) standard' of evidence [the 'probable cause' standard] claiming Russian involvement. Mueller’s team utilized the standards outlined in the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which 'requires persons acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi-political capacity to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal.' The report stated : 'The investigation did not, however, yield evidence sufficient to sustain any charge that any individual affiliated with the Trump Campaign acted as an agent of a foreign principal within the meaning of FARA or, in terms of Section 951, subject to the direction or control of the government of Russia, or any official thereof. In particular, the Office did not find evidence likely to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Campaign officials such as Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, and Carter Page acted as agents of the Russian Government -- or at its direction control, or request-during the relevant time period.' " • "That paragraph," says Klein, "contained a footnote about the FISA warrant to conduct surveillance on Page, which was obtained based on warrant applications that cited as evidence against Page information from the infamous, largely-discredited, Clinton-funded anti-Trump Dossier. The footnote says the Page FISA warrant was obtained from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) court utilizing a 'different (and lower) standard than the one governing' Mueller’s office." Here is the footnote, as quoted by Klein : "On four occasions, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) issued warrants based on a finding of probable cause to believe that Page was an agent of a foreign power. 50 U.S.C. §§ 1801 (b), 1805(a)(2)(A). The FISC’s probable-cause finding was based on a different (and lower) standard than the one governing the Office’s decision whether to bring charges against Page, which is whether admissible evidence would likely be sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Page acted as an agent of the Russian Federation during the period at issue. Cf United States v. Cardoza, 713 F.3d 656, 660 (D.C. Cir. 2013) (explaining that probable cause requires only 'a fair probability,' and not 'certainty, or proof beyond a reasonable doubt, or proof by a preponderance of the evidence')." • Klein reminds us that : "In late October 2016, then-FBI director James Comey signed the first of three successful FISA applications to obtain warrants to spy on Page. The second and third were renewal applications since a FISA warrant must be renewed every 90 days. All three applications reportedly cited as key evidence against Page the Dossier produced by the controversial Fusion GPS firm which was paid for its anti-Trump work by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and the Democratic National Committee via the Perkins Coie law firm. According to Republican House characterizations, the FISA applications signed by Comey withheld key information raising questions about the Dossier, including that it was financed by Clinton and the DNC and had known credibility issues." • But, Klein's digging into this footnote likely explains why Mueller did not charge Carter Page with any criminal act. • • • DEAR READERS, to wrap up yesterday's blog, let's look at a Monday Blabber Buzz article that uses a Fox News report : "In a Sunday Fox News interview, House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes blasted 'cherry-picked' findings in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report about Joseph Mifsud -- the mysterious professor from Malta who helped ignite the Russia probe in 2016. The California Republican previously said he wanted to know exactly who was employing Mifsud when he spoke with George Papadopoulos, a former adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump. 'If the FBI does in fact have transcripts of Papadopoulos talking to anyone...I think Congress, and the American people, have a right to know this because in fact we paid for it, and we had to deal with this for two and a half years. We had to suffer through this,' he told Maria Bartiromo....Nunes told Bartiromo he was concerned about how the Mueller report seemed to 'cherry-pick' information regarding Mifsud....Nunes told Bartiromo : 'They cherry pick it and they don't use that Mifsud was described as a Western intelligence asset.' He added that anyone simply could use the Internet to get a fuller picture of Mifsud : 'You'll find pictures of him with many foreign dignitaries, foreign leaders.' Nunes told Bartiromo it's the job of Republicans to get to the bottom of Mifsud’s identity : 'How is it that we spent $30-plus million on (the Mueller report) as taxpayers. Yeah. And they can't even tell us who Joseph Mifsud is...we're getting to the bottom of this.' ” • BlabberBuzz stated : "On Friday, Nunes joined Sean Hannity to discuss his letter to the State Department, FBI and CIA. Nunes caught dirty cop Robert Mueller in a complete lie. Mueller and his gang of angry Democrats reported in their report that Joseph Mifsud was a Russian operative. It has been widely reported that Mifsud was a Deep State operative who trains CIA and FBI agents in Italy. And Devin Nunes knows this. Robert Mueller could be in serious trouble for withholding this information from the American Public." • Fox News also reported about Misfud "not being a Russian operative" : "It has long been suggested that Mifsud was connected to Russian intelligence. But Nunes, in a Friday letter obtained by Fox News, questions that assumption, saying Mueller’s report 'omits any mention of a wide range of contacts Mifsud had with Western political institutions and individuals.' Mifsud is a crucial figure in the report: Mueller’s report states that Mifsud was the one who told Papadopoulos in April 2016 that the Russians had 'dirt' in the form of emails that could damage Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. As the story goes, Papadopoulos then told Australian diplomat Alexander Downer about his conversations with Mifsud. Downer then informed US officials, leading the FBI to open its investigation into whether Trump associates were coordinating with Russia during the 2016 election. Nunes also is seeking information about the FBI’s contacts with Mifsud -- asking how the bureau knew to question Papadopoulos specifically about Clinton’s emails if it hadn’t already spoken to Mifsud. The congressman said, 'it’s still a mystery how the FBI knew to ask Papadopoulos specifically about Hillary Clinton’s emails...' " • BlabberBuzz notes that it reported earlier that : "Deep State spy Joseph Mifsud was used to tie George Papadopoulos to Russia by the Deep State, the Mueller gang and their mainstream media. Now we know that Mifsud was close to Hillary and even dined with her in 2016! As we noted in February 2019, candidate Trump’s unpaid volunteer George Papadopoulos was spied on by the Deep State through an individual named Joseph Mifsud. Mifsud’s purpose was to plant information with Papadopoulos (namely that the Russians had Hillary’s emails) so that the same information could be retrieved from Papadopoulos and the Deep State could say that the Trump campaign knew Russia had Hillary’s emails." • That's right -- the FBI seemingly used Mifsud to plant emails with Papadopoulos that the FBI could then "find" and use to show that Donald Trump's campaign "knew" that Russia had Hillary emails. Papadopoulos explained this in an interview with former Secret Agent and author Dan Bongino...."Bongino : 'I want to get right to it. I have a list of questions for you..I guess the easiest question to ask is why did you meet with Mifsud?' Papadopoulos : 'Professor Mifsud is a Maltese professor. Just so everybody understands -- he’s not a Russian. I was working at this organization in London -- the London Center for International Law Practice (LCILP) -- that unbeknownst to me at the time was apparently some sort of front group for ex-western diplomats and ex-western intelligence types of personalities. As well, the legal counsel for the FBI in the UK, Arvinder Sambei, just happens to also be a director at this organization I used to work for. I tell this organization ‘Look, I’m joining the Trump Campaign, I’m leaving. I’m going back to the US I’m leaving London. But they all of a sudden tell me, ‘before you leave, you really need to come to Rome with us. We want to introduce you to some people there.’ So, I say, ‘that’s fine. I’ll go to Rome....They introduce me to Josef Mifsud at this university in Rome called Link Campus. This isn’t any normal university in Rome. At the time I had no idea what this place was. But apparently, it’s a training ground for western intelligence operatives in Rome. The CIA has held symposiums there. David Ignatius from the Washington Post has actually written extensively about this place. They have connections to the FBI and other groups. I also saw many Italian diplomats there. The ex-foreign minister of Italy was the director of this university, so things started to pop in my mind that this isn’t just a random event -- a random meeting. They tell me it’s very important for you to meet Josef Mifsud. I had no idea who this person was. He came up to me, presented himself as this mid- fifties, former diplomat, who knew the world.' " • As BlabberBuzz point out : "The mainstream media and the FBI, DOJ and Mueller team all wanted to connect President Trump to Russia so they set up Papadopoulos and then claimed that he met with Russians. The only problem is that the Russian was not a Russian -- he’s a Maltese professor, Joseph Mifsud The entire connections in London were a set up." • AND, in what BlabberBuzz calls "a shocking new development," we now know that "the Deep State’s Mifsud dined with Hillary Clinton and Italian socialists in 2016. Papadopoulos was in an interview with Fleccas Talks. In the interview Papadopoulos says -- 'So what I learned by my wife at a time that I was in discussion with the Mueller team, she was like 'Why are you pleading guilty?' 'I’m like what do you mean? She says do you know that Joseph Mifsud was attending a dinner with Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign along with senior level Italian diplomats who was head of the socialist group there?' 'I’m like what are you talking about, I thought he was a Russian spy. She says no, no he wasn’t a Russian spy and I didn’t know what to do.' " • To finish this tale of the Obama Deep State FBI putting "land mines" all around Papadopoulos so they would "explode" in the Trump campaign's face -- George Papadopoulos will get the last word in an April 18, 2019, tweet : "George Papadopoulos @GeorgePapa19 Joseph Mifsud, the 'Russian spy,' who according to Mueller started 'the whole investigation,' has been outed by our Italian Friends today. He is living next to the US embassy in Rome ??. Can’t wait for him to reveal who his FBI handlers were. 22:35 - 18 Apr 2019." • The "Russian Hoax," as GOP Tom McClintock calls it, was all one big Obama FBI set up to save Hillary's botched 2016 campaign. The Deep State, foreign intelligence agencies, the Obama administration and Hillary were all part of it. • Will justice ever be served?
