As the Trump DOJ attempts to sift through exactly what the Obama administration was pulling during the 2016 US election, Attorney General William Barr and his team of investigators are pursuing the following information, according to RealClear Investigations‘ Paul Sperry.
- Agendas for former CIA chief John Brennan’s secret interagency task force meetings on alleged Trump-Russia collusion in the spring, summer and fall of 2016, which he sent in envelopes to FBI Director James Comey, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and National Security Adviser Susan Rice.
- A series of papers that task force, known as the “fusion cell,” drafted for the White House.
- A classified August 2016 document Brennan hand-delivered in a sealed envelope to Obama containing information from someone Brennan described as “a critical informant close to Putin.” The informant is believed to have beeen a Russian source recycled from a largely debunked dossier compiled by ex-British agent Christopher Steele for the Hillary Clinton campaign.
- An email exchange from December 2016 between Brennan and Comey in which Brennan is said to have argued for using the Steele dossier in early drafts of the task force’s January 2017 intelligence assessment, which spread the narrative that Vladimir Putin personally ordered a hacking operation to harm Hillary Clinton’s election chances against Donald Trump.
- All drafts of the Russia intelligence assessment, or ICA, along with classified footnotes revealing the sourcing behind it.
- Confidential source reports, known as FD-1023s, summarizing briefings between FBI agents and the informants and assets they jointly handled with the CIA, including Christopher Steele, Felix Sater, Azra Turk, and ex-Cambridge professor Stefan Halper, who apparently lured Trump campaign advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page overseas, where he secretly tape-recorded them.
- Transcripts of conversations Halper recorded prior to July 31, 2016, in which Papadopoulos allegedly “denies any illegal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia,” according to Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz.
- Copies of all FBI, CIA and State Department records related to Joseph Mifsud, the mysterious Maltese professor whose statements regarding Papadopoulos allegedly triggered the original Russia-collusion probe.
- Diplomatic cables between Australia and the U.S. that mention former Australian diplomat Alexander Downer’s tip to the FBI that Papadopoulos allegedly bragged about Mifsud telling him the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton.
- Queries former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice and U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power made to the NSA between January 2016 and January 2017 to unmask the identities of Trump figures caught up in upstream collections, or intercepts, of foreign nationals — including logs that remain under lock and key at an Obama Foundation storage site outside Chicago.
- An Obama “interagency memorandum of understanding” signed by the FBI and CIA enabling outside contractors — including possibly Clinton campaign contractor Fusion GPS — to gain “improper access” (per a court opinion) to raw FISA data from November 2015 to April 2016.
- Classified notes from late spring 2016 of Comey briefing White House officials on “the [Carter] Page information.”
- At least four previously undisclosed, sealed Comey memos memorializing his conversations with Trump that are said to document the investigative steps taken by the FBI, as well as the codename and true name of a “confidential human source” — and evidence obtained from this source, including the identification of at least one Trump target.
- Allegedly rejected FISA applications for warrants to spy on Page filed in June and July of 2016.
- FISA applications to monitor Papadopoulos, former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in 2016 — in addition to all versions of the Page applications that were approved from October 2016 to June 2017, along with supporting materials.
- All summaries of interviews the FBI conducted with Steele in 2016, known as FD-302s, as well as the unredacted 302 reports of the FBI’s dozen interviews with Justice official Bruce Ohr, who provided back-channel briefings from Steele after the FBI terminated him in November 2016.
- FBI 302 reports summarizing 2016 meetings with Russian oligarch (and FBI informant) Oleg Deripaska, who reportedly scoffed at the idea that Trump colluded with Moscow when agents visited him in New York.
- FBI 302s of agents’ Feb. 10, 2017, interview with Mifsud during which the Mueller Report says Mifsud lied to agents.

Is a silent coup just as treasonous as a military coup even if it didn’t succeed?
It was a flubbed coup, therefore TREASON, which is why all involved better see major prison time, Especially Obama and the Clinton cartel.
If not we no longer have any justice in America and the deep state gas won again!
We’ll have to see.
But I believe there is already enough proof, they’re stalling. I hope and pray Barr isnt going to cave and water things down. It already sounds like it with the coney stuff has come out.
TREASON IS TREASON!!!
It’s amazing American can have so many people who would destroy their own children’s legacy for profit. The liberals and socialist sincerely believe their leaders.
Live in a free society, but working in the background to destroy freedoms.
It’s concept I’ll never understand.
Freedom for me, but not for thee . . .
The demonrats that started the ‘witch hunt’ Russiagate crap should all be tried for sedition and even treason. Anyone who works against America’s principle tenants is seditious. Anyone who subverts the government is treasonous.
After all the people they put in prison, or destroyed in the process of trying to overthrow Trump, if they don’t go to prison themselves, we will have such civil unrest. We might even have another civil war.
All the bad actors need to be publicly shamed, tried, and imprisoned! Their names should go down in history as an example.
The swamp needs draining. I hope Trump gets to see the end of this mess.
You hit the nail right on the head, and if they are not tried for TREASON and SEDITION, we’ve lost our country to the deep state!
Gerry. I fully agree let us get to the bottom of all coruption including that ORANGE ORANGUTAN MONSTER AND MOSCOW MITCH THE SNITCH MCCONNELL carefull what you wish for because your party is in deep doo doo for any and all crimes your looking for, Dems not inocent by no means but the results of any investigation will hang many retadicans as well and don’t dare cry Fake News when even BOZO BARR is indited for crimes.
Hey spanky, you sound like a PUNK. That being said, you’re clearly an INBRED Operative of the Democrat-COMMUNIST-Islamic-NAZI Terrorist Organization.
The time will come when you all are put down like Rabid dogs that you are.
Havew a nice day.
Spanky you are clearly a fool of the deep state and fake news cartel!!
Why do you think all the delusional false garbage from the DEMONrat party has bern debunjed inckuding the phoney Mueller report he didnt even write.
Well As the word of God says
ITS THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND AND BOTH SHALL FALL INTO THE DITCH!!!!
A coup is a coup! Treason is treason! Clapper, Comey and the others conspired to frame a lawfully elected sitting U.S. President with fake evidence in a non-existent “Russian Collusion” crime. This is something ANY rational U.S. citizen should want prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
You all know that Bush Boy Barr won’t prosecute any of his pals in the Obama Clinton Cabal. He’s already let Comey and McCabe off the hook. Bush Boy Barr is waiting for the election, and then if Trump wins, Bush Boy Barr will be replaced with a Trump supporter. If Trump loses, Bush Boy Barr will be replaced by a kommiecrat, who certainly will pursue Trump with the zeal that no Republican had for the Obama Clinton Cabal.
Either way, Bush Boy Barr won’t have to prosecute any of his pals in Washington DC. He’s stalling.
Everyone here has really no idea why cheeto man brought BOZO BARR in as AG do you, i know you don’t want to believe but reagen/ bush sr brought him in for the same reason he instructed bush sr how to pardon reagen for TREASON that my friend is 100% a true fact that is the only reason BOZO BARR is there is to protect that ORANGE ORANGUTAN MONSTER from TREASON period you’ll see for yourself you’ll just deny it like you always do because you hate the truth only lies fed to you from fake news on the right from idiot liers like BIMBO RUSH BRING IT ON IDIOTS BRING IT ON I’M READY TO PROCLAIM MANY MORE TRUE FACTS THAT’LL MAKE GO HOME AND CRY TO MOMMY
Blah blah blah….aren’t you exhausted with your such an obstruct imagination?
Wow, better take your meds, you’re a nut.
No, just a run of the mill troll.
But just why wasn’t all of that information released to the public months ago.
FBI Director Wray seems to be sitting on his hands and obfuscation and covering up everything instead of demanding that his staff start to release all of that info.Some people need to be fired.
I worry that the major goal with the in your face two tear Justus system is two further the breakdown of our foundation of law, our constitution. anarchy, appetite for lawlessness seems to be a wanted and necessary remedy for the left to fundamentally change our republic. I hope and pray that we have enough fearless patriots left to use this obvious information against the enemy of our nation.
BS ……Gang of 12 meeting
In September of 2016 Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch was apparently one of the Republican leaders who was most responsible for putting the brakes on a stronger White House pushback against Moscow’s efforts at trying to affect the outcome of the U.S. election. The CIA had concluded that Russia was trying to help Donald Trump win the White House.
There was a secret meeting on Capitol Hill with a group of key lawmakers in September. It was at this meeting that McConnell reportedly expressed serious reservations about the intelligence and threatened to politicize the agency’s findings if they were made public.
The White House, President Obama, was so convinced by the evidence that Russia was trying to affect the outcome of the election that by mid-September, it decided that stronger action was needed. But White House officials were afraid that the effort would be seen as an attempt to affect the outcome of the election, so the administration wanted both parties to come together and criticize Russian interference as well as urge local governments to accept federal assistance in protecting the voting process.
The Democratic lawmakers all agreed that the threat of Russian interference needed to be taken seriously but at least two Republicans, including Moscow Mitch, pushed back.
McConnell raised doubts about the underlying intelligence and made clear to the administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics. McConnell even went so far as to threaten to rebuke the Obama administration if it publicly challenged Russia. Despite recommendations from his own country’s intelligence stating that Russia was interfering with the U.S. elections — well enough in advance to counter the cyberattacks — McConnell dismissed them and refused to take action.
Trump then selected McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, to be his secretary of transportation, a position that requires congressional approval. McConnell also has no moral qualms about using his authority to promote his personal agenda and did not recuse himself from voting on his wife’s appointment as secretary of transportation.
McConnell has refused to comment on the reports about the CIA conclusions on Russia’s meddling in the election and his failure to defend American sovereignty and democratic institutions.
VOTE BLUE and end the INSANITY!
Garry. You left out the part about MOSCOW MITCH THE SNITCH MCCONNELL how he was in the process of allowing russian oligarchs to build aluminium plant in kentucky subverting the law of sanctions against russia CAN YOU SAY TREASON
