It\u2019s easy to disregard foreign policy advisor Carter Page with his goofy fishing hat and trips to Moscow.\u00a0\u00a0But it\u2019s more difficult to comprehend the actions of Paul Manafort, the Chairman of the Trump Campaign.\u00a0\u00a0He was deeply indebted to a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, and passed strategic polling data to Russian Intelligence sources in the \u201cCigar Room\u201d of Grand Havana Hotel in New York City.\u00a0\u00a0Or former General Mike Flynn, Trump\u2019s top foreign policy advisor and future National Security Advisor, who took thousands of dollars from Russian TV, and sat at the \u201cright hand\u201d of Vladimir Putin in Moscow, among other contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mueller never came to a conclusion about Trump\/Russia contacts or collusion.&nbsp;&nbsp;In his report, he only noted that the \u201cstonewalling\u201d of Trump campaign officials, including Manafort, Stone, and the Trump children; kept critical information secret.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A \u201cSomething\u201d Burger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We now know that Attorney General Bill Barr completely misrepresented the Mueller Report to the American people.&nbsp;&nbsp;We also know that the Justice Department Inspector General confirmed that the FBI had a \u201cvalid predicate\u201d (reason) for beginning that investigation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yesterday, the&nbsp;<em>New York Times&nbsp;<\/em>reported that the \u201cinvestigation into the investigation\u201d, led by US Attorney John Durham, came up empty after three and a half years.&nbsp;&nbsp;This was Trump and Barr\u2019s great hope:&nbsp;&nbsp;their attempt to prove that the FBI was \u201cafter Trump\u201d at the behest of the Obama Administration, and, as Don Jr would say, Mueller was a big \u201cnothing burger\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But after spending over $6.5 million and losing two Federal Court trials, Durham wasn\u2019t able to shake the Mueller conclusions.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, it turns out the only serious \u201ccriminal charges\u201d Durham contemplated were financial irregularities by \u2013 Donald Trump in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comey\u2019s Letter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But the third \u201cleg\u201d of the conspiracy is even more \u201cfoil hat-ty\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The ultimate turning point in the 2016 election, was when, two weeks before the vote, FBI Director James Comey announced that he was reopening the e-mail investigation into Hillary Clinton.&nbsp;&nbsp;This announcement violated Department of Justice policy to NOT take actions that influence election outcomes.&nbsp;&nbsp;But Comey felt trapped.&nbsp;&nbsp;An unrelated investigation into former Congressman Anthony Weiner\u2019s computer in the New York FBI office created a huge issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;Weiner was accused (and later convicted) of sending inappropriate pictures to underage girls.&nbsp;&nbsp;But when the FBI examined his computer, they found some classified Clinton emails on his hard drive.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weiner\u2019s was&nbsp;&nbsp;then married to Huma Abedin, Clinton\u2019s personal chief of staff.&nbsp;&nbsp;Somehow Clinton email\u2019s to Abedin ended up on Weiner\u2019s hard drive, including some marked as classified.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the weeks leading up to Comey\u2019s announcement, it became clear that Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani knew about the Weiner hard drive.&nbsp;&nbsp;Somehow, the New York FBI office was leaking to the Trump campaign, and Comey thought it was \u201cbetter\u201d to get ahead of the leak before Giuliani broke the news.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Information&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Comey\u2019s public letter re-opening the investigation had a direct impact on the polling, and two weeks before the election, was the \u201cnail in the coffin\u201d of the Clinton campaign.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether Comey was right in breaking Department policy or not, his actions determined the next President of the United States.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the one of the questions left hanging for the past eight years was, who leaked the information to Giuliani?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We still don\u2019t know the direct answer to that.&nbsp;&nbsp;But just in the past week, another \u201cdata point\u201d was added to the 2016 imbroglio.&nbsp;&nbsp;The FBI Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York counter-intelligence division at the time, Charles McGonigal, just this week was indicted for taking money.&nbsp;&nbsp;That money originated from Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t know that McGonigal was \u201cspying\u201d for Russia in 2016.&nbsp;&nbsp;But we do know that he had access to the \u201cWeiner\u201d laptop information at the time.&nbsp;&nbsp;And we do know that he\u2019s in deep trouble now, perhaps the worst betrayal of the FBI since Robert Hanssen back in 2001.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So push your foil hat down, and draw your own conclusions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the
