The Sham Impeachment Inquiry & Whistleblower Saga: A Race to Get Ahead of the OIG

[ExiledInIllinois]

This is what happens when gov't is run like a business.  Corruption.

 

In business it isn't necessarily illegal to get dirt on your competition.  It is in gov't against your political rivals the way Trump was attempting.

 

There simply are two different people in our country.  The ones that want to turn the clock back to rampant corruption, abuse of power and boot licking a central authority figure, ie: "CEO." AND then there are the ones who think it's not okay to run the country like a crooked business.

 

We really are at an ethical crossroads in this country.  Almost split right down the middle with the populace. Then sub divided by city and country.

Yeah, until Trump, corruption never existed. 

 

And again why is it okay to make up dirt on Trump in an effort to try and remove him from office but not okay to investigate a guy running for President who had some shady dealing while he was VP?

I thought you were gonna do some reading to find out what was going on?  Here's the Ukraine thread, it is short and packed with information.  Hint: it is all about the graft (grrrrr  every time I write that I start singing All About that Bass), and how Trump's election put a stop to it.

Let me put it in nice simple terms:

 

The President sets and conducts foreign policy, not State, not the NSC, not the DOD, not any other alphabet agency.

 

He does not have to go through State or NSC to conduct said policy; he does not have to consult with Kent or Taylor or anybody else on Ukraine or any other aspect of foreign policy.

Again, that's incorrect. 

 

The fingerprints left behind in the forensic investigation, done by CrowdStrike, is the only evidence suggesting a hack. What I've said is that evidence was likely fabricated using Ukrainian cyber weapons. The emails were leaked, and the planting of digital fingerprints was done to cover up that fact. 

 

Because if the world knew (or learns) that there was never a Russian hack to begin with, the entire narrative crumbles to dust... and there's a few dead bodies to account for.

 

You're in a rush to dismiss things without first understanding the points and issues being made. You can do better. And I hope you do.

Right because the Russian co-founder(that's right there is another guy from the good old U.S. of A. not to mention a ton of employees.) of CrowdStrike that moved to Canada when he was 14 and graduated from College in the U.S. is secretly a Ukrainian agent. And while being the security company hired by the DNC preceded to fake hack them in a way that left evidence that they weren't hacked even though since they were the ones looking for hackers they could of just done it. 

 

Though that's going along with your theory that it couldn't be hacked because these guys say so:

That's a much more common tale among spooks than you understand. And it's not a secret within the USIC -- they're allies.

Proving your own ignorance on the technical facts of the case is all you're doing now. The evidence left behind was a digital fingerprint which, too neatly, leads back to GRU tools. That would be compelling if not for Vault 7. If you don't know what Vault 7 is, and you clearly do not, you should look into it. The metadata analyzed by VIPs did not come from CrowdStrike or its reports. It came from the examination of the data attached to the WikiLeak documents themselves. 

 

Per the rest: CrowdStrike did not act on their own, they were given an assignment to complete and did it to protect their (biggest) client. Not the DNC or DCCC, but the DoD. Why do you think the FBI was never allowed access to the physical servers? Why do you think the FBI was forced to rely on a draft (not even final) forensic report written by a party who had a massive financial stake in the outcome of said report? 

 

Have you ever really stopped to ask those questions? If not, why not?

Why do you think I linked that video if not to explain better who Drake and Binney are and how their expertise matters in terms of VIPs analysis? 

 

Again, you're conflating two different things because you really do not understand the topic you're trying to belittle me for understanding better than you. I put in the time required to not only dig through this material (and it's a lot) but to understand as best I can the technical elements of this (which, for a non tech guy, was not easy). Context is crucial here, because the media has gone out of it's way to hide this information from you, and to muddy it up with the tag of being "conspiracy theory" which scares off the sheep. 

 

Don't be a sheep.

So the United States Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense, and Ukraine all worked together to create a fake narrative that Russia hacked the DNC....and you don't think that's a conspiracy theory. This is probably where there's really no point in us debating I don't believe this and what the hell could I possibly say to change your mind when you think agencies capable of faking anything are involved.

But Drake doesn't agree with your theory he wrote the dissenting opinion that they don't normally do but him and others in this group felt compelled to do so.

You've yet to show me a credible source for any of this. I hate to tell you this but you're not some special snow flake, you haven't escaped the matrix, or cracked the great secret to reveal the mystery, you've looked through the internet for an alternative theory to things and the internet being the internet provided you with one.

It's backed by fact. OS intelligence, testimony, emails, and FISC opinion memos. It's not a theory at all, it's just good ol' fashioned conspiracy.

Drake raises good points, and should be considered along with Binney -- whom disagrees. 

 

There's more evidence to back Binney's side up than Drake's. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware of Drake's opinion. Again, I'm for looking at all the material -- from all sides -- and then discerning for myself what is more plausible/accurate/real. I am only prodding you to do the same.

This is essentially the point I was making, anything I bring here to refute your conspiracy would be easily written off as faked/orchestrated by the USIC or they're a part of the conspiracy. Not to mention but this statement you just made basically contradicts the other arguments you're making. Also is Russian Intelligence just magically not on that list?

What's the over/under on when Yovanovitch brings out the waterworks for the cameras?

[dickleyjones]

@Deranged Rhino thanks for the synopsis. I hope the US can heal after all this. In Canada we are facing a similar kind of "division". A very small minority of people on each "side" are loud and get media attention and clicks making it seem like everyone's going nuts, the west is gonna secede, corruption is a new thing, mudslinging is more important than policy, any scandal is the nail in the coffin, etc.

 

My take is the media is enabling it all for dollars, and politicians buy into it because being silent is death (not that it should be). Teaching kids self control and critical thinking might help the next generation destroy this monster we have created.

At the point of her opening statement when she recounts the mysterious 1:00am phone call telling her she has to come back to the US. The one where they didn’t ask the caller to explain why she made that call and used those words. Because they only want one side of the story.

Ukraine "conspiracy"? Which part do you consider a "conspiracy"?

Ukraine Courts   You can find information on the black ledger documents (payments by the Party of Regions)  "led to interference in the electoral processes of the United States in 2016 and harmed the interests of Ukraine as a state."

Here's some light reading about the money laundering:   PrivatBank  (note: I "think" London papers may have more on this. It is a non-reported story in the US.)

The Ukraine thread, the Russian thread,  and the deep state thread are all good places to start.  

Once you have read those threads, followed the breadcrumb trails, and educated yourself you will be a happier fellow. ?
