Mollie Hemingway: Three Deliberately-Hidden Bombshells in the IG Report on the DOJ's Illegal Surveillance of Congress

Good finds by Mollie. And based on her knowledge, this report whitewashes these bombshells -- the truth is most assuredly worse.

Bombshell 1: A Democrat staffer working for Congress came forward as a whistleblower and told the corrupt DOJ that two Congressmen who were leaking top secret documents to the press to damage Trump.

Those two Congressmen? Adam Schiff and Chinese intelligence asset Eric Swalwell.

One of the more surprising claims in the report was that a Democrat staffer on one of the congressional committees "voluntarily told the FBI" almost immediately after the investigation began in 2017 that he suspected two members of Congress and a number of Democrat staffers of being involved in the leaking of the classified information, leading to further investigation of those identified.
While the report doesn't identify the whistleblower, his committee, or name the members of Congress, a 2021 New York Times story already identified then-Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell, both of California, as the two congressmen on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) who were under investigation.
...

The whistleblower told the FBI he "suspected that Member 1 had previously leaked classified information and that Member 2 wanted to influence public opinion via the release of classified information." However, the FBI said the whistleblower didn't offer enough "direct evidence" of the suspected leaking.
The DOJ itself would go on to stonewall Nunes and Senate colleagues who were attempting to investigate DOJ's lead role in the Russia collusion scam. Many of the top leadership at the FBI, including former Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, were later unveiled as some of the worst leakers in government and leaders of the Russia collusion hoax. While they were removed from office, the Biden administration later paid some of them off.

The second bombshell is that the DOJ was tipped about a Democrat congressional staffer using his wife's phone to call the media to leak classified information.

The corrupt DOJ was on it.

The DOJ was so interested in rooting out leaks of classified information, however, that i>it waited three full years to interview their main suspect and only after Attorney General Bill Barr apparently caused the investigation to be re-opened in 2020. One almost gets the sense that the DOJ wasn't super-interested in stopping leaks that fed the Russia collusion hoax they ran.
The IG report doesn't name the senior staffer, but another 2021 New York Times story identifies the suspected leaker. "[T]he leak investigation appeared to have been primarily focused on Michael Bahar, then a staff member on the House Intelligence Committee," Russia collusion hoaxers Michael S. Schmidt and Charlie Savage wrote. "It remains unclear whether agents were pursuing a theory that Mr. Bahar had leaked on his own or whether they suspected him of talking to reporters with the approval of lawmakers. Either way, it appears they were unable to prove their suspicions that he was the source of any unauthorized disclosures; the case has been closed, and no charges were brought."
It's unclear if the DOJ was unable or, perhaps more likely, unwilling to go after participants in the Russia collusion hoax it helped run.

The DOJ contrived various reasons to drop this investigation. The whistleblower said that this man used his wife's phone to talk to reporters when he leaked information. The DOJ says there was no evidence of him using his wife's phone.

The IG report, on the other hand, says that the man and his wife were both publicly known to use each other's phones and email accounts.

The man also claimed that he couldn't have leaked classified information to these three reporters because he had a... years-long pre-existing relationship with these three reporters.

DOJ obtained his phone records and learned that they "showed that immediately before accessing the Read Room and continuing through shortly after publication of the articles containing the relevant classified information, the Senior Committee Staffer's phone number was in contact with telephone numbers used by all three of the reporters who authored the articles that disclosed the classified information."
Well, that seems like a big deal. But the senior staffer had the perfect alibi, at least in the view of our trusty FBI investigators. He explained to them that if they looked at more of his phone records, they'd see that he had been yakking it up with two of the three reporters long before they published the classified info he had access to.
They discovered that he had been talking to these reporters for a long time and therefore they ... decided to drop the investigation with no charges. I'm sure that this explanation would have passed muster with the FBI if it were offered by a Republican.

The third big scoop is that when the DOJ was forced to investigate the leaks, it spied on an equal number of Republicans as Democrats. The corrupt DOJ claimed it was equally likely that Republicans were leaking classified information against Trump, possibly as a False Flag operation to make the Democrats look bad or something.

So, of course, it was necessary to use more DOJ resources to spy on Republicans, who are sneaky and always engaging in False Flag operations to make the Democrats look guilty.

This is your DOJ, everyone. Everyone applaud your straight shooters in the DOJ.

The more I think about it the more I think Jeff Sessions was the real mole in Trump's first administration. He was supposed to have been very clever and able yet he presided over a DOJ that was total shambles.

76 Also pulling from the last thread the exciting news from the Bee, that there is a new musical star in town:
"Clarence Thomas Wows Audiences With Starring Role In 'Annie'"

I know the Ketanji musical debut is silly, fun news to riff on. But RBG actually beat her to it. She loved opera, and one of the dreams was fulfilled when she got a one-off, cameo role in the Washington National Opera's production of The Daughter of the Regiment, in 2016. She didn't do the whole run of the show because she said she didn't want a night job to interfere with her day job.

I like of loved that as polar opposite as she was politically from Scalia, they never let that get in the way of bonding over their shared love of opera. But it was a different time.

========

I still suspect that Chauvin was a dedicated leftist. He was trying to rise in the ranks of the Minneapolis police department, which seems to be very high in the woke-police scale of wokeness.

He was a cog in the machine that the machine decided to sacrifice for something bigger.

He was railroaded and his sentence is unjust, but it's also a symptom of the system that he (I believe) supported and tried to implement.

Something the left still understands and the right avoids is the simple fact that riots are a valid democratic process to manipulate public policy. They don't positively affect votes; the public hates them and votes against rioters.

But the people in power fear riots and want to avoid them at all costs. They railroaded Chauvin because they knew there would be riots in response. There's some evidence that fear of riots influence court decisions. It definitely affects votes in congress.

We on the right don't like riots because of several factors including we don't want to destroy our own businesses and homes, we think its wrong to riot. We know that while the left can get away with rioting, the establishment will NOT wink at or brush right wing riots under the rug like they do the left (see how they freaked out over January 6?). We have lives and families and businesses that will pay the price if we get arrested.

The left has no such fears.

I have said twice that its wrong -- immoral. I don't know if you choose to ignore that on purpose or just aren't reading carefully.

By "legitimate" I mean it is a long-used method of the powerless influencing those in power. It was the ONLY method people had for a thousand years or more. Even during absolute power of kings and nobility, riots were used by the people to influence policy and law.

Just out of curiosity, when people discuss bourbon and scotch for the rest of the thread, are they somehow awful people who "won't let it go"? LOL

Wind-raised waves just involve the surface layers of water. A tsunami wave involves the entire water column from the sea floor to the surface. The contained energy is vastly greater. When a tsunami that is one meter at sea approaches a shelving shore, it can rise to a hundred meters.
