% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


American Thought Leaders – The Epoch Times

Premiered May 8, 2019

With the Mueller report concluding there was no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, Attorney General William Barr says he will now personally look into the origins of the collusion investigation. So, what are the key details that need to be investigated? And, given the sensitive and irregular nature of the spying that took place on the Trump campaign, what high-level officials should have known about it? This is American Thought Leaders, and I’m Jan Jekielek Today sit down again with Tony Shaffer, who was a senior intelligence officer in the Department of Defense, and is now acting president of the London Center for Policy Research. He’s also an advising producer for National Geographic, and a member of the Trump 2020 advisory board.

I was waiting for the interviewer to ask about the involvement of foreign allied intelligence agencies including the British and the Australians. It looks like they were illegally used by our intelligence people as a proxy to get around the legal limits that our intel agencies have with regard to spying on U.S. citizens.

Very informative. This explains the destruction and invasion on a citizen without reason. Exploitation, and including the Harvest Program, by destroying the family unit, and abuse of power. Ask what the Harvest Program is. It means that you have something that others of power want, and kill to get it. Lies, and false information to isolate, and denying a citizen of education, work, and legal help. Our country has become a sewer.

I recently read a NY Post article and said that he is working in the shadows to sabotage Trump’s presidency and save his useless no good legacy from a bunker beneath his home, just 2mi down the street from the WH and has been instructing 30k+ of his supporters and former staff as the “resistance” 😮😠

This is both informative and chilling. Pay close attention to 37:50 where Tony Shaffer talks about that there were other candidates who may have been spied upon by FBI. He states that the Russian Investigation was really mean to punish Trump when Clinton won! Think about how easy it would have been to destroy him with a Clinton DOJ? This was to insure that an outsider would NEVER attempt to try to run for president again. This makes perfect sense. Key Democrats know this and this is why they are going crazy. Obama let the cat out of the bag when he said he wanted to fundamentally change the country. This is Stasi or KGB stuff.

Hope that Bob Barr gets the job done and brings them to justice, starting with the three stooges (Comey, Clapper, Brennany) then the wicked Witch, and all the Munchkins that helped.

The last word here is that while the conservative news uses the term “Obama Administration” as the originators of spygate. HOWEVER WE MUST REMEMBER THAT CONGRESS BOTH THE HOUSE & THE SENATE WERE LED BY A GOP MAJORITY. So any action taken during this time would have been at the hands of the GOP not the Obama W.H. By the way the Dossier was originated and funded by the GOP to derail Trump “the primary candidate” not by the Clinton Administration.
