Putin-Trump Summit Interpreted

So, I'll trade you my 12 Russians for your one Mr Browder and his $400 Million he owes us

It seems the News Media was so interested in attacking Mr Trump that they missed this rather shocking portion of the conversation between Mr Putin and Mr Trump.


Here is the extract quoted from Mr Putin speaking after he offered to let the US have access to the 12 indicted Russians; in return, he asked for this:

''Then we would expect that the Americans would reciprocate and that they would question officials including the officers of law enforcement and intelligence services of the United States, whom we believe have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of Russia. 

"And we have to request the presence of our law enforcement. 

"For instance, we can bring up Mr. Browder in this particular case. 

Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over one and a half billion dollars in Russia. They never paid any taxes, neither in Russia nor in the United States and yet the money escaped the country, they were transferred to the United States. 

They sent a huge amount of money - $400 million - as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. Well, that's their personal case, it might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal. 

So we have a solid reason to believe that some intelligence officers accompanied and guided these transactions. So we have an interest of questioning them. 

That could be a first step and we can also extend it. Options abound. And they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework."

Editorial Notes:

Regarding the accusations of Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential Election, Trump provided the carefully worded, non-committal response to entice the Media to once again make fools of themselves:

"I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place. Could be other people also. A lot of people out there”    ..  
[In another context, a Professor "ACCEPTS" his students' term papers; but, he must grade them; in this case professional Intelligence officers beyond the reach of Mr Brennan and Mr Clapper regard the IC conclusion as so much politicized nonsense, and encourage Mr Trump to give the IC conclusion (term paper) an "F", and discard it.]

["... Other people" could possibly include Bangladesh or Luxembourg].

Trump added, 
“There was no collusion at all” 
 [thus dismissing the accusation that his campaign coordinated with Moscow in 2016] 

Trump advised that he meant to say he didn’t have any reason to doubt Russia interfered in the election:

“The sentence should have been, 
‘I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia.’ 
 “So you can put that in, and I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself.” 

 In essence, Trump has said: 
 "I accepted the IC's paperwork [but not their conclusion] on their 'claim' that Russia meddled, but, there was no collusion. But, it could have been Russia [or, Bangladesh, or China]" 

 Well, what Trump said was clear as mud, but it covered the ground, and it fully had as much depth and substance as his reference a while back to "cofefe".

[Browder later (17 July 2018) tweeted: 
"Russian general prosecutor’s office wants to interview US special agents Hyman, Schwarzman and Angert, who were investigating Natalia Veselnitskaya’s Russian client for money laundering"]

[The Magnitsky Act:

Browder lobbied Congress to pass the Magnitsky Act over the Russian arrest of his accountant accused of fraud and money laundering.  Browder's lobbying persuaded Congress to create this legislation to punish Russian human rights violators and it was signed into law in 2012 by President Obama. The following year, Browder was tried in absentia in Russia for tax fraud and was convicted and sentenced to nine years in prison]

Interestingly, the linkage in this case seems to tie into the Clinton Foundation, which seems to be a common receptacle for a great deal of foreign "donations" while she was Secretary of State.

USSA - Almost!

The following is an interview by G. Edward Griffin, an ultra-Conservative

 and researcher of issues which have undermined the US.  His credibility 

has been questioned on a number of topics he has covered, and, 

oddly enough, in retrospect over recent decades and revelations 

by a number of very credible sources, Mr Griffin has been 

spot-on in his analyses in virtually every topic he's covered.

In this interview in 1984, he asks Yuri Bezmenov, a former 

KGB propagandist, to explain the Soviet methodology for 

subverting the US population and conversion to Communism.  

At the time of this interview, the Soviet Union was 

still strong and had not shown any indiction that it would 

collapse six years later, following President Reagan's 

encouragement of Soviet Premier Gorbachev to 

shut down the USSR war machine, and 

essentially defect to the West.

Little did he know then that The Establishment

would inflict a series of Presidents from

GHW Bush, to Clinton, to W, to Obama

on the US to complete the transformation

of the US to a Socialist/Communist society.

ED GRIFFIN: 

Well, you spoke before about "ideological subversion" and that's a phrase that I'm afraid some Americans don't understand. 

When the Soviets use the phrase "ideological subversion" what do they mean by it? 

YURI BEZMENOV: 

 Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate and open. You can see it with your own eyes.... It has nothing to do with espionage.

Yuri Bezmenov - KGB

I know that intelligence gathering looks more romantic.... That's probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. 

But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such.

The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. 

What it basically means is: 

to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country. 

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. 

The first one being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. 

In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism....

The result? 

The result you can see ... the people who graduated in the 1960's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get through to them. They are contaminated. 

They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [e.g., Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.

In other words, for these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To rid society of these people you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society.

ED: And yet these people who have been programmed and as you say are in place and who are favorable to an opening with the Soviet concept - these are the very people who would be marked for extermination in this country?

YURI: Most of them, yes. Simply because the psychological shock when they will see in the future what the beautiful society of EQUALITY and social justice means in practice, obviously they will revolt. 

They will be very unhappy and frustrated people, and the Marxist-Leninist regime does not tolerate these people. Obviously they will join the ranks of dissenters; dissidents. Unlike the present United States, there will be no place for dissent in future Marxist-Leninist America. 

Now, you can get popular like Daniel Ellsburg and filthy rich like Jane Fonda for being a dissident and for criticizing your Pentagon. In the future these people will simply be squashed like cockroaches for criticizing the government. Nobody is going to pay them nothing for their beautiful and noble ideas of EQUALITY. 

This they don't understand and it will be the greatest shock for them, of course.

The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. 

Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it.... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.

The next stage is destabilization.... It only takes two to five years to destabilize a nation. 

This time what matters is essentials; economy, foreign relations, [and] defense systems. And you can see it quite clearly that in some... sensitive areas such as defense and [the] economy, the influence of Marxist-Leninist ideas in the United States is absolutely fantastic. 

I could never believe it 14 years ago when I landed in this part of the world that the process will go that fast.

Most of the American politicians, media, and educational system train another generation of people who think they are living at the peacetime. False!  The United States is in a state of war; undeclared, total war against the basic principles and foundations of this system. And the initiator of this war is not Comrade Andropov of course - it's the system. 

However, ridiculous it may sound, it is the world Communist system, or the world Communist conspiracy. Whether I scare some people or not, I don't give a hoot. If you're not scared by now, nothing can scare you.

ED: Okay, so what do we do? What is your recommendation to the American people?

YURI: Well, the immediate thing that comes to mind is, of course, there must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of REAL patriotism, number one. 

Number two, to explain to them the real danger of a socialist, communist, welfare state, Big Brother government.... The moment at least part of the United States population is convinced that the danger is real, they have to FORCE their government... to stop aiding Communism.

EDITORIAL NOTE:

We have added links to such terms as KGB and Soviet, Big Brother as well as the names of world leaders such as Reagan, Andropov, and Gorbachev simply because the majority of young people who read this attended our depleted education system and have no recollection or awareness of the historical significance of these key, historical figures.  

This may surprise you, but ask the average 40-something [or younger] Liberal about any of these references, and you'll likely get a blank stare in response.

References to George Orwell and his predictive novel: 1984, will receive the refrain that it is about President Trump -- who has succeeded in derailing the Obama Administration goal of implementing 1984,

Conspiracy of Historical Proportions?

How deep did the Conspiracy Swamp Go?

Editorial Comment:

We have posted this House Resolution, with highlights and links to 

related stories, to educate those who are unable to follow this Byzantine

 plot line by Obama conspirators.  It is a highly convoluted scheme, 

acted out by some of the most corrupt persons in the history of they US 

-- who, coincidentally were attorneys who should face 

disbarment proceedings, and prison sentences.  

Most stunning was the fact that these attorneys [officers of the Court]

 held key positions in the Department of Justice 

or the Federal Bureau of Investigation 

-- previously the pinnacle of the 

US Justice system.

A series of Attorneys General committed the most egregious of crimes, 

beginning with Eric Holder's Fast&Furious debacle, 

and then Loretta Lynch's meeting with Bill Clinton on the tarmac, 

and later, [Acting AG] Sally Yates who, rather than expressing 

her concerns to President Trump regarding his Executive Order, 

publicly defied Trump and condemned his Executive Order 

-- which had been vetted by DOJ's Legal Counsel 

-- and so Trump fired her.  

The trail is now so convoluted that it is difficult to follow;

 we hope this post has made this coup plot a bit more clear.  

There is far more to this scheme than this definitive 

House Resolution, but, there is still more to come, 

and these revelations will hopefully lead to the 

arrest and prosecution of all the conspirators 

-- beginning with Hillary Clinton.

In commemoration of all those who have sacrificed their lives for 
the American way of freedom, and defiance of oppressive governments, 

we are posting House Resolution 907 which precisely documents the 

bulk of illegal and Treasonous actions committed by the Obama 

Administration during which he weaponized the US Intelligence 

Community against his political opponents, 

and against American Citizens.

We have highlighted key passages and added links 

to assist you in understanding the gravity of this resolution

House Resolution 907 appears in its entirety below:

115TH CONGRESS 2D SESSION H. RES. 907 

Expressing the sense of Congress that the Attorney General of the United States should appoint a Special Counsel to investigate misconduct at the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation, including an investigation of abuse of the FISA warrant process, how and why the Hillary Clinton probe ended, and how and why the Donald TrumpRussia probe began.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 

MAY 22, 2018 

Mr. ZELDIN (for himself, Mr. GOSAR, Mr. GAETZ, Mr. PERRY, Mr. DESANTIS, Mr. MOONEY of West Virginia, 
Mr. DESJARLAIS, Ms. TENNEY, Mr. MEADOWS, Mr. JODY B. HICE of Georgia, Mr. GOHMERT, Mr. ROTHFUS, 
Mr. JORDAN, Mr. BUDD, Mr. ROUZER, Mr. YOHO, Mr. BRAT, Mr. ROKITA, Mr. BIGGS, Mr. POE of Texas, 
Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. DUNCAN of South Carolina, Mr. GIBBS, Mrs. BLACK, and Mr. ISSA) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

 RESOLUTION 

Expressing the sense of Congress that the 
Attorney General of the United States 

should appoint a Special Counsel to investigate misconduct at 
the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
including an investigation of abuse of the FISA Warrant process 
how and why the Hillary Clinton email probe ended, 
and how and why the Donald Trump-Russia probe began; 


Whereas 

There is an urgent need for the

appointment of a second Special Counsel 

in light of evidence that raises critical concerns about
decisions, activities, and inherent bias displayed at the highest levels of the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

 regarding FISA abuse,
how and why the HillaryClinton email probe ended, 

and 

how and why the Donald Trump-Russia probe began; 

Whereas 

the concerns of the American people are serious and the issues requiring an 

immediate, unbiased, independent, and thorough investigation are broad; 

Whereas 

misconduct during the 2016 presidential election by high-ranking individuals within the FBI and DOJ may have led to the premature conclusion of the FBI’s 2016 probe into then-presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton;

Mess with me and I'll Clinticide you!

                        Whereas

during her tenure as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton violated Federal law, and Department of State rules, regulations, and protocol, by using a private email server in her Chappaqua, New York, home;

Whereas 

official communications were transmitted on an unsecured server and included emails that contained classified information when they were sent, in addition to additional emails which were retroactively deemed classified by the Department of State;

Whereas 

FBI Director James Comey acknowledged that 65 of these illicit emails were classified as ‘‘Secret’’ and 22 were classified as ‘‘Top Secret’’;

Whereas 

there is significant evidence that the use of this private server by Secretary Clinton was meant to avoid compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and done to obstruct justice by not having to turn over incriminating emails in the case of a subpoena;

         
                Whereas

various sensitive emails subject to grand jury and congressional subpoenas 
were destroyed on Secretary Clinton’s private server through the use of ‘‘BleachBit’’ software and the destruction of hardware before they could be obtained by investigators in March 2015;

Whereas 

in a September 2015 meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and then-Director Comey, the Attorney General instructed Director Comey to refer to the Clinton email investigation as a ‘‘matter’’, thus watering down the severity of the investigation and aligning the FBI’s rhetoric with the messaging of the Clinton campaign;

Whereas 

Cheryl has Immunity? Time for a Clinticide?

Cheryl Mills, who served as Counselor and Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton during her entire tenure as United States Secretary of State, was offered immunityfrom prosecution by the FBI during this investigation in exchange for access to her laptop that contained many of the questionable emails;

                                                                             Whereas 

I don't need no stinking witnesses!

according to transcripts obtained by the Senate Judiciary Committee, former Director Comey was prepared to exonerate Hillary Clinton as early as April or May of 2016 when he began to draft a statement announcing the end of his investigation, before up to 17 key witnesses, including former Secretary Clinton and several of her closest aides, were interviewed; 

Whereas

former Director Comey contradicted these transcripts when he stated during sworn testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on September 28, 2016, that he made the decision not to recommend criminal charges for Secretary Clinton ‘‘after’’ she was interviewed by the FBI on July 2, 2016;

                                                                         Whereas 

Director Comey, in the final draft of his statement, allowed FBI Agent Peter Strzok to replace ‘‘grossly negligent’’, which is legally punishable under Federal law, with ‘‘extremely careless’’, which is not legally punishable under Federal law; 

Whereas 

Federal law states gross negligence in handling the Nation’s intelligence can be punished criminally with prison time or fines (18 USC § 793 and 798);

            Whereas 

on June 27, 2016, Attorney General Lynch had a covert meeting with former President Bill Clinton aboard her plane on the tarmac in Phoenix, Arizona;

Whereas

on July 5, 2016,
FBI Director Comey violated 
DOJ rules and unilaterally exonerated then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a public statement to the media;

Whereas

one day later, on July 6, 2016, an announcement followed from Attorney General Lynch that the DOJ investigation into then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would be formally closed with no criminal charges;

Anthony and Huma

                           Whereas

in September 2016, the FBI, during an examination of the personal laptop of former 
Congressman Anthony Weiner 
as part of an unrelated investigation into him 
sending sexually explicit messages to a teenage girl,
discovered previously unexamined 
Department of State classified emails 
belonging to his spouse,
top Clinton aide Huma Abedin;

Whereas 

McAuliff and the McCabes

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s wife, Dr. Jill McCabe, 
was running for Virginia State Senate 
at the time and, as of October 26th, 
had received $675,000 in donations from the Virginia Democratic Party and 
Common Good VA, 
the Leadership PAC controlled by Democratic Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, 
a longtime Clinton associate; 

Whereas 

an investigation conducted by the Office of the DOJ Inspector General noted that on October 27, 2016, Director Comey required that Deputy Director McCabe remove himself from a conference call regarding the Clinton emails discovered on Anthony Weiner’s laptop to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest after media reports surfaced noting these questionable political donations; 

Whereas

it took until October 28, 2016, for Director Comey to announce via a letter to the chairs of the relevant congressional committees that he was reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton, an additional, egregious delay after the FBI failed to even examine the illicit emails after the FBI discovered them on Anthony Weiner’s computer;

Whereas 

further investigation into whether then-FBI Deputy Director McCabe and other FBI officials sought to purposely delay the release of these illicit emails for politically motivated purposes is warranted;

Whereas 

throughout the Obama Administration, the DOJ failed to fully investigate serious concerns surrounding former President Clinton, then-Secretary of State Clinton and the Clinton Foundation’s connection to Russiancompany Uranium One, which received Department of State approval to purchase U.S. uranium mines in 2010;

Whereas 

Another Mass Clinticide, compliments of Putin?

throughout Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, a family foundation controlled by the Chairman of Uranium One made $2,350,000 in contributions to the Clinton Foundation which were not publicly disclosed in violation of an agreement Secretary Clinton had with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors;

[NOTE: Witnesses who could testify against Hillary died in a mysterious plane crash]

Whereas 

in 2010, while Russian State interests were working to both acquire a majority stake in Uranium One and to purchase American mines, Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow by a Kremlin-linked Russian investment bank that was underwriting Uranium One stock;

Whereas

a confidential informant who worked with the FBI to uncover bribery and other corruption related to the Uranium One matter was threatened with reprisal by the Justice Department under Attorney General Lynch when he tried to come forward in 2016;

Whereas

the Senate Judiciary Committee launched a probe in October 2017 to investigate the Uranium One matter, including whether Federal departments and agencies such as the Department of State knew the FBI was looking into possible corruption before the deal was approved;

                                           

   Whereas 

an investigation conducted by the Office of the DOJ Inspector General noted that a multi-State investigation into the questionable dealings of the Clinton Foundation with corrupt donors was shut down in August 2016, when pressure was asserted on the FBI by senior officials within the Obama Justice Department;

Whereas

the same Inspector General’s report also noted that shutting down this investigation into Clinton Foundation impropriety and influence peddling was connected to high ranking officials in the DOJ and FBI, including Attorney General Lynch, Director Comey, and Deputy Director McCabe;

Whereas 

the same Inspector General’s report also found that Deputy Director McCabe, after consenting to the political pressure to shut down the Clinton Foundation multiState investigation, attempted to later use unauthorized leaks to the press to create a false narrative that he was opposed to the closure of the investigation and that he did this in an attempt
to salvage his reputation following revelations of questionable Clinton-connected money being donated to his wife’s Virginia State Senate campaign; 

Whereas 

in October 2016, the FBI and DOJ used politically biased, unverified sources to obtain warrants issued by the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (FISA Court) that aided in the surveillance of U.S. citizens, including Carter Page;

[NOTE: Chief Justice Roberts, on 03MAY2018, amended the FISA procedural rules]

Whereas

these warrants grant U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies sweeping power to collect bulk information and conduct ‘‘about collection’’, which results in surveillance of a broad array of private communications from the past, present, and future, including those of U.S. citizens not specifically targeted in the FISA authorized warrant;

Whereas 

Steele - MI-6 Case Officer

to obtain these warrants, FBI and DOJ officials submitted an unverified dossier prepared by ChristopherSteele
to the FISA Court,
failing to disclose that 

Christopher Steele was hired by the firm Fusion GPS,
which was hired by the 

Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton
campaign to prepare this dossier and that the source was unreliable and was soon thereafter going to be terminated as a source;

Whereas 

the FISA Court was not informed
that Christopher Steele was actively opposed to the election of Donald Trump,
that he was the unnamed source cited in the media reports that the FBI used to corroborate his dossier, and
that Fusion GPS had been hired to perform previous anti-Trump research efforts in 2015;

Whereas 

the Woods Procedures, which are the FBI’s mandatory vetting process required for all FISA warrant applications instituted to ensure that all the facts contained in an application are accurate and verified to clearly support probable cause for a warrant, were not followed;

Whereas 

former Director Comey admitted in sworn testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 8, 2017, that material contained in the Steele dossier was known to be both ‘‘salacious’’ and ‘‘unverified’’;

Whereas 

since FISA warrant applications
- are rarely turned down,
- are almost never subject to appeal, and
- are presented in closed court with no public record where the Government is not challenged by
  any defense,
it is imperative that the Government take extra care to validate the information being utilized to build their case before they take the extraordinary step of waiving rights of a U.S. citizen without his or her knowledge or the opportunity to present a defense;

Whereas 

at the FISA Court, the Government has a responsibility not only to provide its best evidence in support of its case, but also to provide the best evidence against its case; 

Whereas 

these deeply flawed and questionable FISA warrant applications utilizing illicit sources and politically biased intelligence were approved by DOJ and FBI officials at the highest levels before being submitted to the FISA Court;

Bruce Ohr and his wife

Whereas

it was further not disclosed to the FISA court that 
the wife of fourth-ranking DOJ official Bruce Ohr 
worked for Fusion GPS and that
Christopher Steele directly transmitted the dossier and other information through Bruce Ohr for submission to the FISA court;

Whereas 

to this day there is no evidence 

that President Trump colluded 

with the Russians 

to win the 2016 election; 

Whereas 

the initial FBI probe into the Trump Campaign and alleged collusion with Russia was launched in July 2016, based on questionable and insufficient intelligence and biased motivations;

Whereas 

former Director Comey prepared a series of seven memoranda containing classified information, including notes on his conversations with President Trump;

Whereas 

Comey's "friend" - now Legal Counsel

former Director Comey admitted in sworn testimony to the Senate Committee on Intelligence on June 8, 2017, that he had leaked this content to a personal friend and encouraged that friend to share the material with the press in order to trigger a Special Counsel investigation; 

Whereas 

an investigation conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee

later revealed that the personal friend of Director Comey was

Professor Daniel Richman of Columbia Law School and that Director Comey provided him with four of the seven memoranda; 

Whereas 

Director Comey’s actions are a clear violation of non-disclosure agreements he signed as a condition of his appointment and a clear violation of FBI protocols regarding the dissemination of sensitive information outside of the Bureau which are based on provisions of the PrivacyAct of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a);

FBI Agent Strzok and FBI Counsel Page 

Whereas

text messages exchanged between FBI Agent Strzok and FBI Counsel Lisa Page, during the period of August 16, 2015, to May 17, 2017, contain serious evidence of political bias and the improper handling of investigations within the agency;

Whereas 

the texts contain egregious evidence of bias against President Trump, including Lisa Page stating ‘‘Trump should go f himself’’ and Peter Strzok stating ‘‘F TRUMP’’; 

Whereas 

those text messages were not stored within the FBI archive system, an egregious oversight blamed on a technical glitch, and even after these messages were partially recovered by the Bureau’s Inspector General in January 2018, many unanswered questions remain regarding impropriety and bias;

Possible Political Bias?

                         

Whereas

in March 2018, former FBI Deputy Director McCabe was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions who noted that Deputy Director McCabe
  ‘‘lacked candor—including under oath—on multiple occasions’’ and
    had partaken in ‘‘unauthorized disclosure to the news media’’,
among other violations noted in a report issued by the Office of the DOJ Inspector General after a wide-reaching investigation into Deputy Director McCabe’s conduct;

Whereas 

a myriad of DOJ and FBI personnel have been fired or demoted, or have resigned, including
FBI Director Comey, 
Deputy Director McCabe, 
Chief of Staff to the Director James Rybicki, 
FBI General Counsel James Baker, 
FBI Agent Strzok, FBI Counsel Page, 
FBI Special Agent Josh Campbell, 
DOJ Senior Official Ohr, 
FBI Assistant Director Michael Kortan, and 
Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik;

Whereas 

evidence has come to light that raises serious concerns about egregious misconduct within the DOJ and FBI rooted in political bias;

Whereas 

the DOJ, FBI, or both appear to have planted at least one person into Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign to infiltrate and surveil the campaign;

Whereas 

the DOJ has failed to timely comply with several related document requests by Congress;

FBI's Redacted Document
[an indication of FBI Arrogance] 

Whereas

providing Members of Congress with 
heavily redacted versions of some but not all of the documents demanded and offering Members limited in-person viewing of these documents is an inadequate response to repeated requests after months of delay by the DOJ;

Whereas 

the mission of the Office of the DOJ Inspector General is limited to detecting and deterring waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct in DOJ programs and personnel and promoting economy and efficiency in those programs, and a fully independent Special Counsel has greater autonomy than an Inspector General or Federal prosecutors to run a non-biased investigation and if necessary bring forth criminal charges; and

Whereas

the DOJ and FBI cannot be expected to fully investigate themselves regarding this matter:

Now, therefore, be it 

Resolved

That it is the sense of Congress that—
        (1) DOJ, FBI, and all Federal law enforcement agencies have a sacred duty to uphold     
              our Constitution and to protect our country without any partisan or ideological 
              inclination affecting their important work; 
        (2) Congress acknowledges with gratitude that the vast majority of the men and women
              who serve within these critical agencies do so with the utmost integrity, independence,
              patriotism, and commitment to the rule of law;
        (3) Misconduct regarding FISA abuse, how and why the Hillary Clinton probe ended, and 
              how and why the Trump-Russia probe began should immediately be investigated by a
              Special Counsel who can act independently; and
        (4) The Attorney General of the United States should immediately appoint a Special 
              Counsel to conduct a thorough and independent investigation of these grave concerns.
