"We're gonna find out who is telling the truth!"

"There's a lot of low-hanging fruit there." "What happened here: the Obama Administration took a vital national security tool, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and they misused it to surveille for political reasons." The Inspector General's report is going to say whether or not we were right when we raised those questions."

Anger at Ratcliffe nomination being pulled back

In the Conservative Treehouse, Sundance and his commenters are more than a little upset about the pulling back of the nomination of John Ratcliffe.

The epicenter of the deepest defensive mechanism of the Deep State is the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). The SSCI is the bunker, the intelligence manipulation operations headquarters. The SSCI is where the political nuclear weapons (black files and IC gathered political surveillance research) are housed. As a direct consequence the SSCI is the most corrupt and manipulative committee in all of congress.

President Trump has withdrawn the nomination of John Ratcliffe because both wings of the most corrupt deep state apparatus had formed a hardened defense in the SSCI:

...Donald Trump was an outside candidate; a disruption in the global way of things. He questioned NATO, he challenged “globalism”, he challenged the perpetual war machine. In essence he was a risk. Hence the SSCI aligned against candidate Trump and continued that opposition into the “insurance policy” phase to remove President Trump.

...That’s why all of the “small group” officials, those who participated in Spygate etc., always wanted to appear in front of the SSCI committee (Burr and Warner), and not in front of the House committee when it was chaired by Devin Nunes.

Earlier this morning former ‘small group’ coup participant Rod Rosenstein sent a message to the SSCI to hold firm on not accepting anyone except Deep State Sue Gordon to replace Dan Coats.

Ratcliffe to stay in Congress

Our great Republican Congressman John Ratcliffe is being treated very unfairly by the LameStream Media. Rather than going through months of slander and libel, I explained to John how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people....

....John has therefore decided to stay in Congress where he has done such an outstanding job representing the people of Texas, and our Country. I will be announcing my nomination for DNI shortly.

"I am embarrassed to be a member of Congress!"

"The Democrats are in a panic," says the highly respected member of the House Judiciary Committee, John Ratcliffe of Texas. "I believe there will be accountability on all fronts!" Within one month the Inspector General's report will be issued. Looking at leaking, looking at lying, and looking at FISA abuse, I think the Inspector General is going to say that Jim Comey did not perform as the law required." Brennan, Clapper, and Comey: none of them were telling the truth, and I think there will be accountability to an Attorney General who has promised to get to the bottom of this."
