~ FBI HQ (left) – Main Justice buildings (right) ~

When you are this close to the institutions, conversations come much easier.   According to those with direct knowledge, when Jeff Sessions recused (fire-walled) from anything to do with the special counsel in ’17, ’18, ’19, Rod Rosenstein “should have” held oversight.  However, in his Senate Judiciary testimony of June 3, 2020, Rosenstein admitted that he conducted no oversight over the Mueller probe.

Rosenstein’s justification was he did not feel it was his position to question their “investigative processes“, later saying “everything was an investigative process“, ergo anything the special counsel was doing was considered valid; nothing was questioned, and Rosenstein felt it was his position to “facilitate” the Mueller team.

This is a key point:  The special counsel took over Main Justice.

Which begs the question….. If Rosenstein was providing everything; who was managing the daily events inside Main Justice while the SC events were ongoing?  Who was the internal coordinator for the legal and investigative crew?  Who was the bridge?  Answer:

Below is an assembly of older posts that will be explained in a moment.  When you are this close to the FBI and DOJ buildings funny things happen…. you bump into people.  I’ll get to that in a moment…. but for now this is a reminder.  [Nailed it!!]

BACKGROUND: 2019 Judicial Watch FOIA Lawsuit resulted in the release of a May 16, 2017, memo written by then Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. [Link Here] At the time of the FOIA release most people focused on Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein willingness to wear a wire to record the President; however, the memo content actually revealed much more.

There are three aspects to the McCabe memo that warrant attention: (1) Rosenstein’s willingness to wear a wire. (2) Evidence that Rosenstein took Mueller to the White House on May 16, 2017, as a set-up to interview Mueller’s pending target; and (3) the CURRENT redactions to the memo indicate CURRENT efforts by the CURRENT AG Bill Barr to protect the corrupt intent of Rod Rosenstein. While all three points are alarming; given recent events the last aspect is most concerning.

In order to show the significance of this FOIA release CTH is going to present the McCabe memo in two different ways. First, by highlighting the raw memo release; and then secondly, to highlight the important context by inserting the memo into the timeline.

First, here’s the McCabe memo:

Thanks again for all the support.  Do not take my brutally honest writing on DC to be anything other than a way for ordinary people to see the corrupt nature of this toxic place from an outsiders perspective.  I am not fearful, I am more determined than ever.

The truth is my weapon here. I fear nothing in that regard.  It is just sad to think this is our nation’s capital and yet it seems occupied by doom and despair.   Saying hello, or good morning to one of the masked zombies gets you the glare of the pod people.

On to the mission at hand.   –  Almost all of it GOOD news; even in the bad news aspects of recent feedback.  Bottom line: no-one in a position of any oversight ever put this together before; and yet once you see it with all the accompanying certified evidence, everything makes sense.  Once visible it cannot be unseen.

Unfortunately, this reality also means congress did not figure this issue out; even with years of investigations.  However, on the plus side it also means they are not hiding it. Quite simply: they didn’t know about it, they never pieced it together.

A double dose of DOJ Spokesperson Kerri Kupec today.  Pay attention to the nuance of certainty and emphatic assurance in regard to the Durham probe and Flynn case vis-a-vis Judge Sullivan’s position.   There is no doubt in the emphasis of Ms. Kupec as she updates on the status of both. Noteworthy:  the ongoing effort of USAO Jeff Jensen.

It’s not what Kupec says that’s important, it’s the lack of ambiguity in how she is saying it. Her unique position, and her emphatic attributes, make Kerri Kupec an important element in understanding the arc of these investigations.    Be of good cheer. Can confirm.

FYI Tomorrow is a critical day of advanced prep for next phase, Thr/Fri. My writing will be minimal – 72 hours from now things may be remarkably different than today.

Lift your spirits.  I cannot tell you how much of a difference it makes right now; not only to this internet community but to our nation as a whole.   Choose to be optimistic. Live your best life, RIGHT NOW, there are people working furiously and with great purpose. Remember, this is the only life we have – so seize this day, and then the next, and then keep going.

We live in the greatest nation on the face of the earth. We are the people of that nation, with boundless opportunities most of the world can only dream of.  Our opposition has nothing but false witness, fear and lies.  Push on them, they are weak and shallow.

We are Americans…. Those who are working against our interests thrive in an atmosphere of despair and disenfranchisement – do not give it to them.  Carry an optimistic spirit, regardless of how challenging. I cannot explain it, but that makes success more certain.

More this.  Something has shifted in the universe of Congressman Doug Collins turning him into a happy warrior for the truth.  Imagine that. Smiling Doug tells Lou Dobbs “he believes” there will be justice; “he believes” there will be indictments.

A funny thing happens when you remove the options; the path narrows…

Be of good cheer and live your best life. You deserve it.

¹I have not watched, too busy.

[Transcript] – CHRIS WALLACE, FOX ANCHOR: And hello again from Fox News in Washington. Today from the White House, we’re on the president’s patio just outside the Oval Office.

President Trump, you’ve agreed to answer all manner of questions, no subject off-limits. Thank you and welcome back to “FOX NEWS SUNDAY.”

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Thank you very much.

WALLACE: Let’s start with the surge of the coronavirus across the country in recent months.

As you can see, we hit a peak here in April, 36,000 cases…

TRUMP: Cases.
