The power of the ((('donor'))) model and the necessity of its preservation is amazing. Even though the Mueller Report said exactly what Barr said it would - not really a shock, as Barr knew it would be released - the Democrats/Clintonistas are acting as if it confirmed all their wildest fantasies.
Assange's Vault 7 and the 'breadcrumbs' of Russian interference: "New VIPS Memo" (my emphasis in red):
"These days sober minds seem few and far between and a great deal is
at stake. On the intelligence/forensics side, we have proved that the
evidence adduced to “prove” that the Russians hacked into the DNC and
Podesta emails and gave them to WikiLeaks is spurious. For example, we
have examined metadata from one key document attributed to Russian
hacking and shown that it was synthetically tainted with “Russian
fingerprints.”
Who Left the Bread Crumbs?
So, if it wasn’t the Russians, who left the “Russian” bread-crumb
“fingerprints?” We do not know for sure; on this question we cannot draw
a conclusion based on the principles of science — at least not yet. We
suspect, however, that cyber warriors closer to home were responsible
for inserting the “tell-tale signs” necessary to attribute “hacks” to
Russia. We tacked on our more speculative views regarding this
intriguing issue onto the end of our July 24, 2017 Memorandum to you entitled “Intelligence Veterans Challenge Russia Hack Evidence”
We recall that you were apprised of that Memorandum’s key findings
because you ordered then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo to talk to William
Binney, one of our two former NSA Technical Directors and one of the
principal authors of that Memorandum. On October 24, 2017, Pompeo began
an hour-long meeting with Binney by explaining the genesis of the odd
invitation to CIA Headquarters: “You are here because the president told
me that if I really wanted to know about Russian hacking I needed to
talk to you.”
On the chance Pompeo has given you no report on his meeting with
Binney, we can tell you that Binney, a plain-spoken, widely respected
scientist, began by telling Pompeo that his (CIA) people were lying to
him about Russian hacking and that he (Binney) could prove it. Pompeo
reacted with disbelief, but then talked of following up with the FBI and
NSA. We have no sign, though, that he followed through. And there is
good reason to believe that Pompeo himself may have been reluctant to
follow up with his subordinates in the Directorate of Digital Innovation
created by CIA Director John Brennan in 2015. CIA malware and hacking
tools are built by the Engineering Development Group, part of that
relatively new Directorate.
‘Obfuscation’ A leak from within the CIA, published on March 31, 2017 by WikiLeaks
as part of the so-called “Vault 7” disclosures, exposed a cyber tool
called “Marble,” which was used during 2016 for“obfuscation” (CIA’s
word). This tool can be used to conduct a forensic attribution double
game (aka a false-flag operation); it included test samples in Arabic,
Chinese, Farsi, Korean, and Russian. Washington Post reporter Ellen
Nakashima, to her credit, immediately penned an informative article on
the Marble cyber-tool, under the catching (and accurate) headline
“WikiLeaks’ latest release of CIA cyber-tools could blow the cover on
agency hacking operations.” That was apparently before Nakashima “got
the memo.” Mainstream media have otherwise avoided like the plague any
mention of Marble.
Mr. President, we do not know if CIA’s
Marble, or tools like it, played some kind of role in the campaign to
blame Russia for hacking the DNC. Nor do we know how candid the denizens
of CIA’s Directorate of Digital Innovation have been with the White
House — or with former Director Pompeo — on this touchy issue. Since it
is still quite relevant, we will repeat below a paragraph included in
our July 2017 Memorandum to you under the sub-heading “Putin and the
Technology:”
We also do not know if you have
discussed cyber issues in any detail with President Putin. In his
interview with NBC’s Megyn Kelly, he seemed quite willing – perhaps even
eager – to address issues related to the kind of cyber tools revealed
in the Vault 7 disclosures, if only to indicate he has been briefed on
them. Putin pointed out that today’s technology enables hacking to be
“masked and camouflaged to an extent that no one can understand
the origin” [of the hack] … And, vice versa, it is possible to set up
any entity or any individual that everyone will think that they are
the exact source of that attack. Hackers may be anywhere,” he said.
“There may be hackers, by the way, in the United States who very
craftily and professionally passed the buck to Russia. Can’t you imagine
such a scenario? … I can.”
As we told Attorney General Barr five weeks ago, we consider Mueller’s findings fundamentally flawed on the forensics side and ipso factoincomplete.
We also criticized Mueller for failing to interview willing witnesses
with direct knowledge, like WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange.
Political Enemies & Mainstream Media (Forgive the Redundancy)
You may be unaware that in March 2017
lawyers for Assange and the Justice Department (acting on behalf of the
CIA) reportedly were very close to an agreement under which Assange
would agree to discuss “technical evidence ruling out certain parties”
in the leak of the DNC emails” and agree to redact some classified CIA
information, in exchange for limited immunity. According to the
investigative reporter John Solomon of The Hill, Sen. Mark
Warner, D,VA, Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, learned
of the incipient deal and told then-FBI Director Comey, who ordered an
abrupt “stand down”and an end to the discussions with Assange.
Why did Comey and Warner put the kibosh
on receiving “technical evidence ruling out certain parties [read
Russia]? We won’t insult you with the obvious answer. Assange is now in
prison, to the delight of so many — including Mrs. Clinton who has said
Assange must now “answer for what he has done.”"
Given the existence of Marble, it is now literally impossible for any cyber-forensic determination that any particular actor did something. Any alleged actions could be CIA spoofed. Obviously, the American IC did not want to hear that from Assange.
Remind me again - why are the Assholians going against Julian (it appears the 'Harm to Ongoing Matter' redactions would be even more damaging if they popped up in a British extradition court)?: tweet (Charlie Savage):
"Embedded in Barr remarks is an important qualifier: Trump campaign collusion with WikiLeaks could not be an illegal conspiracy because WL publication of the emails was not a crime since WL didn't help hack them."
"The FBI Tried and Failed to Entrap Trump by Larry C Johnson". Using their CI, Sater. Worth remembering the Chabad connection, which is also President Jared's nest of vipers (but note the artful use of the word 'Soviet' to lead you to think these 'happy-go-lucky' guys are all Russians, a truly filthy trick also employed by Marshall!): "The Happy-Go-Lucky Jewish Group That Connects Trump and Putin" (Schreckinger).
And, speaking of foreign interference, Mueller did find one instance: "Mueller Report says ‘multiple members’ of Trump transition approached foreign officials to stop UN resolution against Israeli settlements".
"The “Deal of the Century”: The US Wants To Enable Netanyahu to “Officially” Occupy the West Bank" (Magnier).
You may have noticed there is a theme today: "Bernie Sanders’ Foreign Policy Vision is Incoherent and Dangerous" (Rubenstein).
Trump went full MIGA just when the final drafts of the Mueller Report were being prepared. Lo and behold, he's completely absolved, and as free as any President can be of any restraints, least of all by the embarrassed Democrats (who now face their own issues for covering up for Killary Korruption). Just in time for President Jared's eliminationist plan for the Palestinian! What luck!
I'll just put this here: "Ivanka Trump: I declined father's suggestion of World Bank job" ("because she's very good with numbers").
"New Jeffrey Epstein Accuser Steps Forward In Defamation Case Against Alan Dershowitz" (Durden):
"Another woman has come forward to accuse 'billionaire pedophile' Jeffrey Epstein and his companion, Ghislaine Maxwell,
of molesting her and her then-15-year-old sister in 1996 at the Ohio
mansion of billionaire "Limited Brands" CEO Les Wexner, according to
court documents cited by the Miami Herald.
The woman, Maria Farmer, says she was employed by Epstein in his Upper East Side New York mansion, where she frequently saw "school-age girls" wearing uniforms enter the residence and go upstairs. According to her affidavit, she was told the girls were auditioning for modeling work.
And who else did Farmer see going upstairs according to her affidavit? Epstein pal and attorney Alan Dershowitz, who has been accused of sexually assaulting Virginia Roberts Giuffre - an Epstein victim who is suing Dershowitz for defamation after she came forward with her claims.
Dershowitz claims he was never in Epstein's mansion at the same time as underage girls, but Farmer said that's not true, according to her affidavit in support of Giuffre's case.
Dershowitz has said that he has never seen any underage girls when he
visited Epstein at the financier’s various homes in Palm Beach, New
Mexico and New York. But Farmer, who now lives in Kentucky,
claims that one of her duties working for Epstein was to staff the front
door to his New York estate and to keep track of visitors.
“On a number of occasions I witnessed Dershowitz at the NY
mansion going upstairs at the same time there were young girls under the
age of 18 who were present upstairs in the house,’’ she said, asserting that Dershowitz was so comfortable he would walk into the mansion and go directly upstairs.
...
Giuffre claims in the lawsuit that Dershowitz, 80, knew about and participated in Epstein and Maxwell’s sex trafficking operation, and that she was forced to have sex with Dershowitz and other prominent, wealthy men, when she was underage.
Dershowitz has railed against the allegations for years, maintaining
that he has never met Giuffre. He also says he has documents and other
evidence that prove she is lying. -Miami Herald
Of note, Farmer does not say she ever saw Dershowitz with any young girls - however
at least one witness, former house manager Alfredo Rodriguez, says he
saw young girls in Dershowitz's presence at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion.
Rodriguez was prosecuted by the FBI after he tried to sell Epstein's
"black book" of friends, business associates, celebrity guests and
female masseuses for $50,000. Rodriguez was fired by Epstein in 2005 and
died in prison after his prosecution.
Another Epstein accuser, Sarah Ransome, claims that she was "lent
out" by Epstein when she was 22-years-old and living in New York, and had a threesome with Dershowitz and Nadia Marcinkova who also worked for Epstein."
