Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Russiagate originated in a conspiracy between the military/security complex, the Clinton-controlled Democratic National Committee, and the liberal/progressive/left. The goal of the military/security complex is to protect its out-sized budget and power by preventing President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia. Hillary and the DNC want to explain away their election loss by blaming a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the election. The liberal/progressive/left want Trump driven from office.

As the presstitutes are aligned with the military/security complex, Hillary and the DNC, and the liberal/progressive/left, the Russiagate orchestration is a powerful conspiracy against the president of the United States and the “deplorables” who elected him. Nevertheless, the Russiagate Conspiracy has fallen apart and has now been turned against its originators.
Despite the determination of the CIA and FBI to get Trump, these powerful and unaccountable police state agencies have been unable to present any evidence of the Trump/Putin conspiracy against Hillary. As William Binney, the former high level National Security Agency official who devised the spy program has stated, if there was any evidence of a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the US presidential election, the NSA would most certainly have it.
So where is the evidence? Why after one year and a half and a special prosecutor whose assignment is to get Trump has no evidence whatsoever been found of the Trump/Putin conspiracy? The obvious answer is that no such conspiracy ever existed. The only conspiracy is the one against Trump.
This has now become completely apparent. Russiagate originated in a fake “Trump dossier” invented by Christopher Steele, a former British MI6 intelligence officer. It is not yet clear whether it was the DNC, the CIA, or the FBI who paid Steele for the fake dossier. Perhaps he sold it to all three.
What we do know is that the FBI used what it knew to be a fake dossier to go to the FISA court for a warrant to spy on Trump.
As a consequence both Comey and the FBI, special prosecutor Mueller, and Christopher Steele are in hot water. The Chairman of the US Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Grassley, has instructed the US Attorney General to launch a criminal investigation of Steele for false statements to FBI counterintelligence officials. https://www.rt.com/usa/415105-senate-doj-steele-criminal/
You can see where this leads as former FBI director Comey is a participant in the Russiagate attack on President Trump. To protect himself Steele will have to rat on who put him up to it. If President Trump had any sense, he would put Steele under protective custody, as his life is clearly in danger. If the CIA and the FBI don’t get him, the Clintons surely will.
Trump’s easy election shook the Republican Establishment as well as it upset the Democrats and the military/security complex. The Republican Establishment hates losing control. Initially the Republican Establishment aligned with Trump’s enemies, but now understands that Trump’s demise means their demise.
Consequently, all of a sudden in Washington facts count. Not all facts, just those relating to the Steele dossier. Be sure you listen closely and carefully to these two videos of US Representative Jim Jordan’s destruction of US Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein for sitting on his ass while a totally corrupt FBI attempted to destroy the elected president of the United States. Keep in mind that Rosenstein is a member of the Trump administration. Why does the President of the United States employ people out to destroy him?
Here are the videos:

Here are 18 questions asked by US Rep. Jim Jordan:
1) Did the FBI pay Christopher Steele, author of the dossier?
2) Was the dossier the basis for securing FISA warrants to spy on Americans? And why won’t the FBI show Congress the FISA application?
3) When did the FBI get the complete dossier and who gave it to them? Dossier author Christopher Steele? Fusion GPS? Clinton campaign/DNC? Sen. McCain’s staffer?
4) Did the FBI validate and corroborate the dossier?
5) Did Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, or Bruce Orr work on the FISA application?
6) Why and how often did DOJ lawyer Bruce Orr meet with dossier author Christopher Steele during the 2016 campaign?
7) Why did DOJ lawyer Bruce Orr meet with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson after the election? To get their story straight after their candidate Clinton lost? Or to double down and plan how they were going to go after President-elect Trump?
8) When and how did the FBI learn that DOJ lawyer Bruce Orr’s wife, Nellie Orr, worked for Fusion GPS? And what exactly was Nellie Orr’s role in putting together the dossier?
9) Why did the FBI release text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page? Normally, ongoing investigation is reason not to make such information public.
10) And why did FBI release only 375/10,000+ texts? Were they the best? Worst? Or part of a broader strategy to focus attention away from something else? And when can Americans see the other 96% of texts
11) Why did Lisa Page leave Mueller probe two weeks before Peter Strzok? This was two weeks before FBI and Special Counsel even knew about the texts.
12) Why did the intelligence community wait two months after the election to brief President-elect Trump on the dossier (January 6, 2017)? Why was James Comey selected to do the briefing?
13) Was the briefing done to “legitimize” the dossier? And who leaked the fact that the briefing was about the dossier?
14) The New York Times reported last week that George Popadopoulos’ loose lips were a catalyst for launching the Russia investigation. Was President-elect Trump briefed on this?
15) Why did Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson meet with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya before and after her meeting with Donald Trump Jr.?
16) Why was FBI General Counsel Jim Baker reassigned two weeks ago? Was he the source for the first story on the dossier by David Corn on October 31, 2016? Or was it someone else at the FBI?
17) Why won’t the FBI give Congress the documents it’s requesting?
18) And why would Senator Schumer, leader of the Democrat party, publicly warn President-elect Trump on Jan. 3, 2017 that when you mess with the “intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you?”
Insouciant trusting gullible Americans who “believe in our government” have no comprehension how totally corrupt “their” government is. It is the most corrupt in the world. The corruption in Washington is really unbelievable. You have to experience it to know it, and those who experience it are part of it and will not tell.
The orchestration “Russiagate” proves that the CIA, the NSA, and the FBI are so corrupt and unaccountable that they comprise the greatest threat to the American people in the entire history of America. The only solution is to break these agencies into a thousand splinters, as President John F. Kennedy intended, and rebuild them from scratch with total transparency. No more protecting their vast crimes under the cloak of “national security.” No classification of any so-called intelligence unless it can pass a unanamous vote of Congress and the ACLU.
The orchestration of Russiagate is proof that the alleged “national security agencies” are an anti-American force detrimental to our survival as a free people. The criminals in the FBI, CIA, and DNC must be investigated, indicted, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned or freedom in America is forever dead.
If President Trump fails in this task, he will have failed America. Everyone of us will be the victims.
One question with which we are left is why has the mainstream media failed in its investigating and reporting responsibilities and instead served as a cheerleader for the orchestration known as Russiagate? The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, CNN, and the rest are serving as public relations agents for Russiagate, leaving it to Rep. Jim Jordan to ask the questions that the media should be asking. What explains the convergence of media and FBI/CIA interests? Are hidden subsidies involved? As the mainstream media is behaving as it would be if it were owned and controlled by the security agencies, this is a natural question. Why is the media not disturbed by its close relationship to the FBI and CIA? When did it become the function of the media to help the CIA and FBI control explanations?
I love being labelled insoucient. Why dont you do something there hotrod.
Mike Pompeo has assured us that there is no “Deep State” within the CIA.
That’s true in a sense. There’s nothing “deep” about it. The CIA’s been in the coup business for 60+ years. Doing their coups only in other countries gets boring after a while. Murder & lying. It’s what the CIA does. (cough) Seth Rich.
The frequently cited international joke is,
“why doesn’t America ever have color revolutions?
Because we don’t have an embassy here.”
That’s the entire kit and caboodle right there folks. Everything, including our kitchen sinks, hang on those two sentences. They are the fork in the road. The line in the sand. The scale by which Trump will be weighed.
Even if the wall is built, unless the swamp is drained, we will either drown or be devoured by the fearsome creatures therein. One way, or another, it’s only a matter of time.

The CIA fed “stories” to the MSM for decades. Don’t you think the CIA has a “dossier” on every “journalist” they’ve ever “worked” with? If a “journalist” ever thought about writing a story critical of the CIA, that “journalist’s” sex fetishes, addictions, deviant philosophies and past indiscretions would be the new front-page story the next day – pasted across all the OTHER MSM outlets that owe their fealty to the CIA.
Sorry for all the quotes, but words don’t mean what they used to anymore.
“stories” – planted, made-up propaganda to suit CIA purposes
“journalist” – paid stooge for CIA propaganda dispersal, of no real principles
and so on.
PCR suddenly becomes pro Trump?!?!
He is expert at joining the winning team at the last moment.
Fuck you, PCR.
Vodka vodka vodka
You are so funny
Vodka- At the last minute? Which planet have you been on since the Republican primary?! Oh, the drunk one.
Better late than never.
I’m insouciant about Trumpgate. I don’t like the fucker and I don’t care if he gets mired in legal bullshit.
Such a perfect little tard ! You
Are a special 1
But that’s just a reflection of your attitude about America as a nation, and anything not openly pro Muslim as well.
Is PCR capable of writing an article without using the word insouciant?
There are thesaurus on line, Paul.
carefree, nonchalant, untroubled, unworried, unconcerned, heedless, casual, easygoing, free and easy, happy-go-lucky, indifferent, frivolous, capricious
And every one of those words would have meaning to the reader. “Insouciant”, not so much.
“Never use a quarter word when a nickel one will do”. – Mark Twain
The synonyms of insouciant lack the gravity of the situation.
I love that about Dr. Roberts! It is his TM word. I think it’s great!
It is illustrious.
Not that he is Insouciant, but that it really bothers him! It really bothers me too!
Now that I see that trolls here are attacking Dr. Roberts, I know that I must be doing something correctly, since I have been frequently trolled and attacked here also.
Dr. Roberts, Pat Buchanan, and Dr. Ron Paul are kind of like the three musketeers for America.
It must be a bunch of government goones guilty as sin. Get out of the country. It will only get worse for you. I promise.
Everyone seems to have missed this little tidbit. I can NOT believe you, PCR, would actually cite the fucking ACLU as some kind of standard for approval of intelligence. Not only are they worthy of their own special microscopic look, but intelligence used in conjunction with the ACLU? Only if it includes ‘no evidence of’.
Unless, of course, you were being sarcastic, which I doubt.
And by the way; it’s ‘unanimous’.
“If President Trump had any sense, he would put Steele under protective custody….”
But, if Trump were devious, he would place Steele under extremely heavy surveillance – and wait.
Excellent summary Dr. Roberts! Rod Rosenstein is totally corrupt! He assisted Keneth Starr in the White Water investigation, in which there was a mountain of evidence to prosecute the Clintons on the real estate fraud! I suspect that the Republicans were more fearful of a President Gore, than a President Clinton in retrospect.
Rosenstein is in the bag for the Clintons. That is a proven fact!
The question remains, why isn’t Trump repealing the 4th amendment rights violations being used against him through executive order repeal? The majority of the 4th amendment rights violations were actually executive orders.
Why would I continue to defend Trump who has continued to sign away my rights, and who has the power to put an end to it, and chooses to increase fascist 1st , 4th , and 10th amendment ( Sessions going after states for marijuana legalization) rights abuses?
The Keith Decision had ruled against this unlawful surveillance after the Church Comittee in the seventies, was upheld by the Supreme Court, and obviously a total violation of the 4th amendment.
The current Supreme Court and of the last two presidents have completely thrown out the 4th amendment, the Keith Decision, and Stare Decisis.

Andrea:”The current Supreme Court and of the last two presidents have completely thrown out the 4th amendment, the Keith Decision, and Stare Decisis.”
There appears to be an element of willful forfeit amongst the citizenry, when one looks at user agreements and technology. Those fuckin ‘smart phones’ is where 80% of the 4th amendment has disappeared to.
