• The Facts:The DOJ Inspector General’s report on James Comey indicated that Comey violated FBI rules and policies many times, and these actions were serious enough for the IG to make a criminal referral. Yet Comey still denies any wrongdoing.


• Reflect On:Can the great schism between points of view brought forth by opposing sides in the current battle over the validity of the Russia Investigation serve as an awakening to what is really going on at a deeper level?

The notion that we are not quite living in the ‘real’ world has gained momentum since the phrase ‘Fake News’ entered the public lexicon. The schism between ‘normal’ mainstream-media-fueled perception and the naked truth about the events that are actually going on is getting so severe that awakening from the illusion will soon be the only way to avoid the intense suffering brought on by cognitive dissonance between our familiar perception and the facts.

Take the ongoing investigation into James Comey, for example. We have the Inspector General’s report that came out and revealed the following:

The office said he “violated applicable policies and his FBI Employment Agreement by providing one of the unclassified memos that contained official FBI information, including sensitive investigative information, to his friend with instructions for the friend to share the contents of the memo with a reporter.”

Further, the IG determined that Comey kept copies of four memos (out of the total seven he drafted) in a personal safe at home after his removal as director — and in doing so also “violated FBI policies and his FBI Employment Agreement by failing to notify the FBI that he had retained them, or to seek authorization to retain them.” And the IG said Comey again violated the rules “by providing copies … of the four memos he had kept in his home to his three private attorneys without FBI authorization.” (source)

Comey Speaks Out

One would expect, if not complete silence from James Comey, then at least some contrition or a fumbling apology trying to explain away his indiscretions. Instead, we get to witness his unapologetic Twitter response coming from that alternative universe of the slowly eroding mainstream perception:

DOJ IG “found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media.” I don’t need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a “sorry we lied about you” would be nice.

And to all those who’ve spent two years talking about me “going to jail” or being a “liar and a leaker”—ask yourselves why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long, including the president.

On the face of it, the offenses detailed in the Inspector General’s report may not ‘feel’ as though they were highly egregious. He was a little clumsy with sensitive information. So what, the casual onlooker might opine. It is true that Comey was careful not to release ‘classified’ information intended for the press, as the line he cherry-picked from the IG report states. And the decision on the part of Attorney General Bill Barr not to prosecute Comey for these crimes, against the Inspector General’s recommendation, seems to add credence to the idea that these actions are excusable.

But the story will certainly not end here.

Meeting With Trump

When one puts together the pieces to try to determine the intent and motivation behind these actions, it is difficult not to come to the conclusion that Comey was highly involved in an operation designed to entrap a duly elected president on fabricated charges and prevent him from taking or staying in office. An important piece of this puzzle begins with a meeting in January 2017 between then president-elect Donald Trump and FBI Director James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, and Director of the National Security Agency Mike Rodgers. It continues, more importantly, with Comey staying behind when the others left to speak with Trump one-on-one.

In an interview with Lou Dobbs in the video below, the Washington Examiner’s Byron York discusses this meeting with all the intelligence heavyweights, and elaborates on what was said to have transpired afterwards, as illuminated in the IG report:

This meeting took place on January 6th, 2017, you remember there’d been all this controversy about Russia and the intelligence community had created a report on Russian efforts to interfere with the 2016 election. So on the 6th of January they go up to Trump Tower, to, as a group, present the report to president-elect Trump, and by previous agreement after they do that, they all leave the room except for Comey, and Comey and Trump meet one on one, and Comey tells the president-elect there is this allegation in that in 2013 you were in a Moscow hotel room with prostitutes, and Russian intelligence taped it all, recorded it all, and, you know, the president is stunned by this.

In the past, Comey has said that the only reason he did this was that they wanted to tell the president-elect that this was out there, and that it might get reported in the press and there’s this crazy story about you that’s out there. What we see in this new report is they meticulously planned this moment in which they would hit Trump with this information. Comey had met with his top officials and what they called the ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ team beforehand; they had made a plan where Comey would immediately write down everything he could remember from this; he went down to an FBI vehicle and there was a secure laptop waiting for him and he says that he started writing as the vehicle began moving; went over to the FBI headquarters in New York and there was a secure video teleconference set up for him to then talk with ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ supervisors plus top FBI officials about what Trump had answered to these dossier allegations.

Crossfire Hurricane

It’s important to understand what exactly the ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ operation really was in order to piece this all together. Although I am hesitant to use definitions from Wikileaks in terms of their political bias noted in one of my previous articles, the one below will suffice to give us a broad context.

Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for a covert counterintelligence investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) into links between Trump associates and Russian officials and suspected coordination between the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government’s interference in the 2016 United States elections.

The investigation was officially opened on July 31, 2016, initially due to information on Trump campaign member George Papadopoulos‘s early knowledge of Russians having damaging material on Donald Trump‘s rival candidate Hillary Clinton.

From late July to November 2016, the joint effort between the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the National Security Agency (NSA) examined evidence of Russian meddling in the 2016 United States presidential election. The FBI’s team enjoyed a large degree of autonomy within the broader interagency probe.

The FBI’s work was taken over on May 17, 2017, by the Special Counsel investigation of 2017–2019, which eventually resulted in the Mueller Report. Mueller concluded that Russian interference occurred in a “sweeping and systematic fashion” and that there were substantial links with the Trump campaign, but that the evidence available to investigators did not establish that the Trump campaign had “conspired or coordinated” with the Russian government.

So we understand now that this investigation began ‘officially’ in July of 2016, although we are seeing evidence that the planning of ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ likely started not long after Trump became the presumptive Republican party nominee on May 3rd, after his victory in Indiana and the withdrawal of the last competitors, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, from the race. More evidence is coming out every day that ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ was not an investigation as much as it was a blatant attempt by higher-ups across the U. S. intelligence spectrum who are revealing themselves as key players in the Deep State.
