"#VladimirPutin didn’t need the green light that #JoeBiden gave Russian forces during his marathon press conference last Thursday for a “minor incursion” into Ukraine.

The Russian president already knew the U.S. commander in chief couldn’t stop him even if he wanted to.
Sure, Putin has seen the polling and knows foreign entanglements won’t help a Democrat hemorrhaging support from his own party.

The newly released #IGReport noted the material failures of the @FBI—“not only the operational team, but also of the managers and supervisors, including senior officials, in the chain of command”—with regard to the #FISA warrant application on Trump campaign aide @CarterWPage.
#IGHorowitz’s findings were so significant that he recommended the @FBI’s “entire chain of command” outlined in his report to the #DOJ for “consideration of how to assess and address their performance failures.” justice.gov/storage/120919…

Although many media organizations are trying to focus on the IG’s finding that the @FBI was within its rights in opening the initial counterintelligence investigation, it should be noted that this was not the focus of the IG’s investigation.
However, Horowitz did note that he had material concerns about the @FBI’s legal ability to open an investigation into the campaign of a presidential candidate:

The #IGReport highlighted several different areas of misconduct and identified a number of errors.

#RobertMueller will be testifying before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees on July 17.

Here are some crucial questions that should be asked when he testifies (Thread 👇). | Article by Jeff Carlson @themarketswork theepochtimes.com/33-key-questio…
1) Did #AttorneyGeneral Barr in any way misrepresent your 448-page report?

#Mueller failed to identify the grand jury info in the #MuellerReport. Barr noted that “it immediately meant that you know it was going to be a period of weeks before we could get the report out.”
2) Who actually wrote Volume I and Volume II of the #MuellerReport?

At this point, it isn’t known with certainty if #Mueller had any hand in writing the report directly, or if he simply served in an oversight capacity.

So @Comey saw none of these internal @FBI documents on Christopher Steele? Not even the human source validation report that stated medium confidence in him and minimal corroboration? Oh and the fact that he had exposed his relationship with the agency. @TGowdySC
Here’s what make thats hard to believe. The report was based on information the agency had from 2013 on Christopher Steele so the head of FBI never came across him? Seems like he should know about sources?
According to the report the agency had “medium confidence” in his intel which means its credibly sourced BUT not sufficient quality or corroboration. Does the FISA court always grant warrants based on this level @carterwpage?

1) Here is a story of why we think #WeHaveTheMemo

See Q post below.

#DOJ, one is the investigation of the DNC breach and the #SteeleDossier. The #DNC was breached by #SethRich who sent the data to #Wikileaks. Highest levels made aware. Think big.

@POTUS #ReleaseTheMemo
2) #Google funded Crowdstrike w $100m. Brennan/Clapper used Crowdstrike thru Google to find leaker. #DNC finds out it's #SethRich. Q wrote: (SR 187)(MS 13 (2) 187). Example made of Seth, murdered by 2 #MS13 members, which were themselves killed a few blocks away. #WeHaveTheMemo
3) #DebbieWassermanSchultz shuts down #SethRich investigation. "Failed robbery attempt". Q says: F-I/D-J ASSIST - the #FBI and #DOJ assist in cleaning it up. Q then says "INSURANCE" - referring to Strzok texts.

The #FusionGPSTranscripts highlight a critical #Dossier concern: #ChristopherSteele & his sources being fed disinformation by Moscow. #Russia’s intel services were almost certainly on to Steele’s inquiries. Dossier may just be #Putin spreading lies w/ bits of truth. #DirtyTricks Image
There’s a reason why DNI Clapper, CIA‘s Brennan, etc didn’t give #Dossier any credence: vetting #Russian intel for disinformation / counter-intel is wickedly hard. Yet the vetting that was done showed no evidence of collusion. That seems lost on most. nbcnews.com/meet-the-press…
Still, for those who’ve served in the intel community, we do not understand why #Trump refuses to hammer #Russia for the threat it is, or acknowledge that it meddled in our election. Cooperate with #Moscow? Sure. But be clear about the threat they pose. reuters.com/article/us-usa…

👁‍🗨(1) “When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions” -Shakespeare
You’ve heard the name a lot lately it’s “MI6” and one of its former spies compiled the #TrumpDossier but perhaps we’ve forgotten our history with them? Hint: WMD’s
(2) In 2003 an American whistleblower from the U.N named Scott Ritter came forward and claimed that MI6 had a campaign to exaggerate the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. it was called #OperationMassAppeal and it’s intent was to “shake up public opinion”
(3) #OperationMassAppeal depended on using non-actionable intelligence and spoon feeding it to the media. It was a disinformation campaign run by MI6 against Iraq. In 1998 it was leaked to press in Washington and then suddenly vanished.

trumpcampaignpromises.blogspot.com lists the news of Trump's reversal on investigating @HillaryClinton as another"win" since Trump had decided a year ago to forget #LockHerUp as a goal.

Those who've insisted HRC disappear have(inadvertently?) contributed to DT's authoritarian proscription.
This week Trump disbanded, without explanation, #VoterFraudCommission.

It's essential that no one forget WHY he initiated that directive: To "prove" Trump's claim that "5M illegals voted for Hillary" and that's why she won the popular vote.Trump's base believes "illegal" story.
On the one-year anniversary of the 2016 election, @Newsweek reported that Trump had tweeted 1,000 times since the election & 268 times about @HillaryClinton. "On average, every three or four days."

Trump's obsession with HRC is also paralleled in MSM & among Sanders supporters.
