If you remember our first article in this series, we outlined how Hillary Clinton, the Department of Justice, and Barack Obama colluded to create a narrative exonerating Clinton of any wrongdoing with her network servers and her handling of classified information.
What makes this even more damaging to Hillary and proves beyond any reasonable doubt that she colluded with Obama and the DOJ is the fact that before she ever even spoke to the FBI investigator (Howler), Comey had already written a draft of the statement he would use to exonerate her.
But of course, Comey is just one more in the long list of deep state operatives bound and determined to get Hillary Clinton elected. So what more could we expect? He was towing the party line. But why? Simple. Comey and multiple other individuals broke the law so it was an imperative to get Hillary elected. If she gets elected, she provides the protection. Little did they know what was in store for them come November 2016.
You see, if Comey had done his job and followed the letter of the law to its logical conclusion, the trail of evidence would have gone all the way to the White House and Obama himself.
Don’t think it’s possible? Consider this: Andrew C. McCarthy has demonstrated at National Review Online that Obama used a dummy email account to communicate with Clinton via her private server. That would have made Obama a co-conspirator, and placed him in direct conflict with federal law. So “collusion” was not only expected, but absolutely necessary in order to hide all the misdeeds.
In case you didn’t know, “Midyear Exam” was the code name used for the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. Here is how “Midyear Exam” played out and was just one more incontrovertible instance of collusion between Hillary Clinton and the deep state.
The first question we need to ask is who exactly was handling this investigation? What were the requirements to be “part of the team?” Well, being a Democrat was not a requirement, but it most assuredly helped.
At the top was Andrew McCabe, the now-disgraced deputy director of the FBI. The problem with McCabe was that he was a part of the “new breed” of leadership within the FBI. In short, he was never a field investigator. He made his career post 9/11 which was all about antiterrorism. And lest we forget, his wife Jill was a Democrat running for the Virginia State senate seat in 2015. Yes, the very same Jill that received almost $500,000 for her political campaign from Terry McAuliffe. Yes, the very same Terry McAuliffe who is one of Hillary Clinton’s closest friends.
So the media and Clinton want you to sit there and believe that the guy leading the investigation was in no way influenced by his wife who was getting close to half-a-million dollars for her political campaign from Hillary Clinton…the very person he was investigating?
But wait, there’s more.
Enter Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
Lisa Page was a member of the team investigating Clinton and Peter Strzok was the agent in charge. It was quite evident from their texts that being willing and able to treat Hillary Clinton with preferential treatment was a requirement to be on the investigative team. Case in point: Lisa Page texted Peter Strzok that Clinton “might be our next president.” Referring to Clinton’s upcoming FBI interview, Page wrote, “The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear.”
Strzok and Page were having an affair. Both were married. Page’s politics were typical of the “elitist” class that dominates the D.C. area and its politics: She detested Trump and anyone who supported him. This is abundantly supported by the treasure trove of texts that have been released to the public.
If that wasn’t enough, the texts also prove that Strzok and Page were colluding to release classified information to the press with the direct intent of influencing a political outcome. That sounds eerily enough to be the exact crimes the Russians are being accused of. So why were they not being investigated?
The texts prove that Page was on the phone with Devlin Barrett when the news about Hillary Clinton’s email was breaking on national TV. Devlin Barrett was the former national-security reporter for the Wall Street Journal. For Strzok and Page, influencing the nation’s political outcome was routine…and ridiculously easy. One quick call to “Devlin,” and Bam!, in the blink of an eye the political landscape alters.
Using secrets and leaking classified information for political effect was something Page and Strzok were becoming quite good at. This releasing of information had an ulterior motive. The purpose of the leaks was not so much to help Hillary, but to maximize the power and independence of the FBI. To reach this goal, McCabe, Page, and Strzok demonstrated the very essence of what was required to be “part of the team”: A clear willingness to flaunt, bend, or break the law to their own ends for political gain.
So “Midyear Exam” was nothing more than an exercise in collusion. You had Comey drafting the exoneration letter before any investigation had actually occurred. You had Hillary called in, ostensibly, for an “interview” with the FBI. Notice the clever use of the work “interview.” It was not an investigation, it was not recorded, and by all accounts she was never even Mirandized. The questions were allegedly given to her prior to the interview, and she was handled with “kid gloves” as per the information shared between Page and Strzok. If that doesn’t sound like “collusion” I don’t know what does.
But this was just the beginning folks. You see, “Midyear Exam” was just the pre-season warm-up game where they practiced their skills and perfected them. As they ended Midyear Exam a much larger problem was beginning to creep over the horizon. In short, towards the end of July, Comey and McCabe would officially open the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The bigger part of that was the allegation of possible “collusion” between Russia and the Trump campaign.
Oddly enough on the very day (July 5) that Comey was giving his press conference where he exonerated Clinton over her handling of classified information, former British spy Christopher Steele was on his way to Rome to meet an old FBI contact. Coincidence or collusion? You decide.
You see, Steele was a former British spy and allegedly an expert on Russia. But the real story is that he was contracted to Fusion GPS which we now know is a Washington-based public relations firm that was contracted to a D.C. law firm. This D.C. law firm was in fact on retainer and contract by none other than Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Remember, though, that Hillary Clinton bought and paid for the DNC.
According to an outstanding article in Politico, by none other than Donna Brazile, the former interim chairperson for the DNC, Hillary Clinton executed a secret takeover of the DNC.
“So I followed the money. My predecessor, Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had not been the most active chair in fundraising at a time when President Barack Obama’s neglect had left the party in significant debt. As Hillary’s campaign gained momentum, she resolved the party’s debt and put it on a starvation diet. It had become dependent on her campaign for survival, for which she expected to wield control of its operations [emphasis added].”
If you follow the money, Christopher Steele was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton. His job was to collect opposition research on Trump from his network of Russian sources. What you need to remember is that at the time of his arrival, the infamous “dossier” did not exist. At the time, Steele had only been working for the Clinton “account” for a very short period of time: just a couple of weeks. During that time he had written only one single report. But what was in that report was so tantalizing, so “juicy,” that Hillary Clinton and her campaign could not wait for more. So Steele was “hired” and flown to Russia.
And that is where things really get even more interesting. Stay tuned for part 3.
