McCabe is lying about the predicate for the Flynn ambush.

McCabe said this week that the interview of Flynn was necessary as a part of the FBI’s inquiry if the Trump campaign had conspired with Russia. The investigation as Robert Mueller had laid out in his report was to ascertain if members of the Trump campaign in conjunction with the Russians worked to steal the DNC’s emails. The FBI hid this premise from the public. During Mueller’s investigation, he too hid this premise.

However, the Steele dossier makes that accusation. The Steele dossier was leaked to the media by Christopher Steele in January of 2017. The FBI centered its whole investigation upon the Steele dossier disinformation as did Mueller. Don’t be fooled by the FBI’s lie that the investigation was launched by George Papadopoulos’ interaction with the Australian ambassador. My comments will be in bold within the brackets. From the Inspector General’s report on Crossfire-Hurricane page 50; It was in this context that the FBI received information on July 28, 2016, [The Department of State received this report from Australia in May.] about a conversation between Papadopoulos and an official of a Friendly Foreign Government (FFG) in May 2016 during which Papadopoulos “suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion” from Russia that it could assist this process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to candidate Clinton and President Obama. As described below, the FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation 3 days after receiving this information. 

Note; there was no mention of emails from the DNC or Hillary Clinton.

Here is proof that the FBI was surveilling the members of the Trump campaign before July 31, 2016.

Page 407; The FBI was not required to notify the Department of those investigative activities and we are unaware of any Department official having had advance knowledge of the FBl’s plan to consensually monitor conversations between CHSs and Page and Papadopoulos, both before and after they were affiliated with the Trump campaign, and a conversation with a high-level Trump campaign official [Flynn?]. The then Chief of NSD’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section David Laufman told the OIG that he believed such activity should require Department authorization. We agree. 

Papadopoulos was a member of Ben Carson’s campaign before he joined the Trump campaign. Hence, the surveillance goes back to 2015.

The FBI had been investigating the Trump campaign clandestinely off the books well before July. The FBI used the Steele dossier as justification to its agents for their off the book activities. When too much of a paper trail had accumulated, the 7th floor at the Hoover building instructed Strzok to retroactively open an investigation on the information that the Department of State had given the FBI in May that the FBI had disregarded earlier.

Page 59; On August 1, 2016, Strzok and a supervisory special agent (SSA 1) traveled to the European city to interview the FFG officials who met with Papadopoulos in May 2016.177 According to Strzok and SSA 1, during the interview they learned that Papadopoulos did not say that he had direct contact with the Russians; that while his statement did not include him, it did not exclude him either; and that Papadopoulos stated the Russians told “us.” Strzok and SSA 1 also said they learned that Papadopoulos did not specify any other individual who received the Russian suggestion. Strzok, the Intel Section Chief, the Supervisory Intelligence Analyst (Supervisory Intel Analyst), and Case Agent 2 told the OIG that, based on this information, the initial investigative objective of Crossfire Hurricane was to determine which individuals associated with the Trump campaign may have been in a position to have received the alleged offer of assistance from Russia. 

The story has changed, that’s the problem with hearsay from a bar.

Here is the proof that the investigation was centered upon Steele’s dossier, page 59; After conducting preliminary open source [open source=Steele dossier] and FBI database inquiries, intelligence analysts on the Crossfire Hurricane team identified three individuals Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and Michael Flynn-associated with the Trump campaign with either ties to Russia or a history of travel to Russia. 

Every person’s name in the dossier is all caps except for Michael Flynn’s. And Flynn’s name appears at the top of a blank page. Some have theorized that Steele was asked to add Flynn to the dossier and Steele forgot to type Michael Flynn in all caps.

We will center on Flynn, but I would be remiss if I didn’t remind you that Mueller did not find any evidence of a conspiracy or collusion between any American and Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. The green line above; the use of `ties’ is deception. As a general and the former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Flynn knew people in Russia and he had traveled to Russia as part of his duties for our government. Substitute Flynn’s name for that of James Clapper who knows people in Russia and has traveled to Russia, you will realize that this investigation of Flynn was a political hit job. I will also point out that Flynn had the highest security clearance possible and to be awarded that clearance, he had a rigorous background investigation by the FBI. By investigating Flynn, the FBI is admitting they failed to weed-out Flynn from accessing our country’s most closely guarded secrets. Flynn had to submit to polygraph examination[s] to get this clearance and to retain this clearance.

Here, I display McCabe’s felonies.

By the summer of 2016, the FBI knew the accusations in the Steele dossier were false. The National Security Agency [NSA] captures all internet traffic within the United States. The FBI knew from the NSA that no member of the Trump campaign had worked with Russia to steal the DNC’s emails. Page 176; “anti-Clinton hackers” had been paid by the “[Trump] team” and Kremlin. The FBI eventually concluded that these allegations against Cohen and the “Trump team” were not true. 

The proof of the FBI’s conspiracy against Flynn lies within Strzok’s text message. Page 177; On January 10, 2017, following the media release of the Steele election reports, Strzok texted Lisa Page; “Hey let me know when you can talk. We’re discussing whether, now that this is out, we use it as a pretext to go interview some people.” Flynn was interviewed by agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka 14 days later. We’re=Strzok and McCabe.

1. Green box; The FBI had Flynn under surveillance even when he was abroad in Russia. Crossfire Razor, Michael Flynn, had done nothing wrong. The FBI was going to close the case against Flynn. However, McCabe interceded from the 7th floor because Flynn was a threat to himself and Comey for their illegal covert operations in 2015 through 2017.

Jimmy Dore is no friend of Donald Trump, but he is an honest broker of the truth. You will hear how the investigation was based on a lie, hence, the interview of General Flynn had no legitimate predicate.

To summarize, McCabe is lying when he says the interviewing of Flynn was necessary as a component of the Russia-Trump investigation for two reasons. 1. The NSA would have had proof that the Trump campaign was conspiring with Russia. 2. The FBI in the summer of 2016 had concluded that no conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign existed.
