Was Sir
Andrew Wood
using the
Halifax
Security
Conference
as a means
to
collaborate
efforts or
distribute
information
on the
Dossier? So
why was
Senator
McCain
handling
backdoor
operations
for the
Dossier at
the Halifax
Security
Conference?
Why was he
(John
McCain) in
Halifax
(Canada) in
the first
place to
accept the
dossier and
give a
speech?
Why wasn't
the dossier
given
directly to
the FBI by
Sir Andrew
Wood (or
others) or
the British
Government
(because it
is a problem
of
meddling/interfering
in the
Presidential
campaign)?
What
business was
it of John
McCain, in
the first
place, to
handle
information
going into
the secret FISA
court? What
is the
British
Government
doing with
the Dossier
in the first
place? What
other
officials in
the European
Union had
copies of
the dossier
(and
exploited
it)? What
other
foreign
government
investigative
agencies
contributed
to the
dossier (and
exploited
it)? Who
had financed
the dossier
research
(big donor,
a nation's
big purse
[treasury],
etc) -- Who
at the
Halifax 2017
International
Security
Forum had
worked with
Christopher
Steele (to
collect,
collaborate
and
disseminate
dossier
information)?
So much for
secret
dossier
information
being secret
for the FISA
court as
when
everyone and
their mother
was handling
it and
feeding the
media.
So where we
stand today
with
President
Trump’s
transformational
(Make
America
Great Again)
domestic and
foreign
policy has a
tremendous
push-back
from
long-held
(30 years
plus same ol’/same
ol’)
stagnant
international
political
traditions,
beliefs,
policies and
programs,
bureaucractic
entrapped/entropic
systems,
geopolitical
entrenched
forces,
counter-growth
economic
stove-pipe
programs,
trade
ineffectiveness
(trade
imbalances)
and
financial/market
institutions
(socialism
vs. fair
trade).
The large
continuous
push-back is
naturally
coming from
all those
stakeholders
along with
their
associated
institutions
(referred
above) who
have held
power and
influence
for
generations
(who do not
want to give
it up) in
their
respective
countries
and at the
United
Nations,
European
Union, UNSC,
WHO, WTO, et
al.
BOTTOM LINE:
Was the
continuous
and
relentless
formative
foreign and
domestic
push-back
along with
the Dossier
collection
process
[part of the
insidious
sophistry
clandestine
legal push-back]a
collaborative
effort:
MI-6/ KGB
agents, and
other
intelligence
agents and
foreign
elected/appointed
officials
and special
interests
who had been
highly
connected
and
intertwined
to the
previous
Clinton/Bush/Obama
Administrations
(24 years)

willing
(plausible

sustain (not

Uranium One,
Iran, NATO
(pay fair

Tarriffs. In
simple

-
Presidential

Trump) went
bigtime
against the
establishments’
$$$ / Deep
State's grain
[gravy

In
conclusion,
President
Trump
changed the

FISA
WARRANTS
This
information
appearing
below was
first
presented in
March 2018
by Chuck
Floyd and
Bruce J.
Moran
showing that
there had
been clear
signs that
the FISA
court
procedures
need to be
revamped and
National
Security
(counter-terrorism/espionage)
proceedings
had been
usurped by
negligent
parties. The
entire FISA
warrant
process must
come under
heavy
scrutiny by
Congress,
the Supreme
Court and
the
Department
of Justice
as the
apparent
failures
have
occurred by
grossly
negligent
parties who
did not
properly
handle,
submit,
review and
verify
critical
information
which lays
the
groundwork
for the FISA
warrant
(justification
process –
FISA Judge
approval).
Checks,
counter-checks
and
cross-checks
for proper
verification
in obtaining
a FISA
warrant need
to be
properly and
fittingly
addressed
(verified).
National
Security is
put in
jeopardy
when the
court
systems are
used in
fashions
which do not
fit the
criteria for
counter-terrorism
and
espionage
safeguards –
fail safe
mechanism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act
The Foreign

Surveillance
Act of 1978
("FISA" Pub.L.
95–511,

is a United

federal law which
establishes
procedures
for the
physical and
electronic surveillance and
collection
of "foreign

information"
between
"foreign

suspected of espionage or terrorism…
Depending on
the type of

may be
active for
90 days, 120

FBI AGENT
PETER STROZK
PROBLEM
(CONFLICT OF
INTEREST)
CONSPIRATORIAL
NATURE THAT
SURROUNDS
TWO CRITICAL
FBI CASES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL
NOTE:
The FBI
headquarters
Deputy
Assistant
Peter Strotz
handled two
(2) major
concurrent
cases
directed at
Presidential
candidates:
1) The
Hillary
Clinton
Email case
and 2) The
Russian
Interference
Trump
Collusion
Case. He
also later
joined in
June 2017
Robert
Mueller’s
Special
Counsel
Investigation.
IT MUST BE
DULY NOTED:
FBI Headquarters
(HQ) is
there to
support the
investigations,
and each
Unit at the
FBI
Headquarters
is part of a
Section, so
there are
(in order of
ascension)
HQ
supervisors,
Unit Chiefs,
Section
Chiefs,
Assistant
Directors,
and the FBI
Director
James Comey.
The FBI HQ
supervisor
stays in
contact with
the field
supervisors
within his
assigned
region and
area of
crime
(espionage)
and reports
to the Unit
Chief. FBI
Headquarters
personnel DO
NOT conduct
or direct
investigations.
Those duties
are in the
realm of the
FBI field
offices.
Most
importantly,
traditionally
in field
offices, each
case is
assigned to
one single
case agent
who is a
field agent,
or in some
circumstances
the case
agent and a
co-case
agent. The
field office
squad
supervisor
then can
order other
members of
the squad to
support that
investigation,
but each
agent does
have his or
her own
assigned
cases.
BOTTOM LINE:
Why was
Peter Strozk,
a high
ranking
Bureau
manager,
assigned
duties to
direct any
investigation?
Further,
for Peter
Strotz to be
assigned to
both key
cases is a
clear
conflict of
interest.
So there are
two big
inherent
problems
(issues):
Why is an
FBI
headquarters
manager
directing
ANY
investigation;
and how is
it that none
of the TOP
FBI
management
did not see
FBI Agent
Strotz
directing
both cases
as a clear Conflict
of Interest?

SPECIAL
NOTE---------------------------------

Agents:
Peter Strozk
& FBI Lawyer
Lisa Page
Lisa Page in

“And most
conspicuously,
Schiff’s
response is
silent on
one of the
most damning
allegations
from the
Nunes memo:
That acting
FBI Deputy
Director
Andrew
McCabe told
the House
Intelligence
Committee in
December
that “no
surveillance
warrant
would have
been sought
from the
FISC
(Foreign
Intelligence
Surveillance
Court)
without the
Steele
dossier
information.”
https://www.wsj.com/articles/who-is-christopher-steele-1518135346
“The FBI
also had
reason to
view his
research
with
skepticism—on
grounds of
its
tabloid-like
allegations,
and also on
the
near-fantastical
claim of
skill that
underlay it.
To wit, that
a man who
had been out
of official
spy rings
for seven
years was
nonetheless
able, in a
matter of
weeks and
with just a
few calls
from London,
where he
lives, to
unravel an
international
conspiracy
that had
eluded the
CIA, FBI,
MI6 and
every other
Western
intelligence
agency, all
of which
have access
to the
globe’s most
sophisticated
surveillance
tools.”
“But rather
than proceed
with
caution, the
FBI
swallowed
the whole
package.
According to
Sen. Chuck
Grassley’s
declassified
criminal
referral,
former
Director
James Comey
testified
that the
bureau
couldn’t
meaningfully
corroborate
the dossier,
but used it
in Foreign
Intelligence
Surveillance
Court
proceedings
anyway
because Mr.
Steele had
previously
provided
“reliable”
information.”
Questions:
What working
relationship
did FBI
Director
Comey have
with British
Agent
Steele? Did
previous
associations
require
obtaining
FISA
warrants?

Center
Report On
FISA (2015):
What Went
Wrong With
The FISA
COURT
https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/analysis/What_Went_%20Wrong_With_The_FISA_Court.pdf
Excerpts
Brennan
Center
Report Pages
4-5:
Fundamental
changes are
needed to
fix these [FISA
COURT]
flaws.
Following
Snowden’s
disclosures,
several
bills were
introduced
to try to
ensure that
the court
would hear
the other
side of the
argument,
generally
from some
type of
public
advocate. Other
bills
addressed
the court’s
secrecy by
requiring
the
executive
branch to
declassify
significant
opinions or
release
summaries.
These
proposals
would make
important
improvements,
but they do
not address
the full
range of
constitutional
deficiencies
resulting
from the
changes in
law and
technology
detailed in
this report.
The problem
with the
FISA Court
is far
broader than
a particular
procedure or
rule. The
problem with
the FISA
Court is
FISA.
The Brennan
Center
report
proposes a
set of key
changes to
FISA
to help
restore the
court’s
legitimacy.
• Congress
should end
programmatic
surveillance
and require
the
government
to obtain
judicial
approval
whenever it
seeks to
obtain
communications
or
information
involving
Americans.
This would
resolve many
constitutional
concerns.
• Congress
should shore
up the
Article III
soundness of
the FISA
Court
by ensuring
that the
interests of
those
affected by
surveillance
are
represented
in court
proceedings,
increasing
transparency,
and
facilitating
the ability
of affected
individuals
to challenge
surveillance
programs in
regular
federal
courts.
The Brennan
Center
report
proposes a
set of key
changes to
FISA
to help
restore the
court’s
legitimacy.
• Congress
should end
programmatic
• Finally,
Congress
should
address
additional
Fourth
Amendment
concerns by
ensuring
that the
collection
of
information
under the
rubric of
“foreign
intelligence”
actually
relates to
our national
security and
does not
constitute
an end-run
around the
constitutional
standards
for criminal
investigations.
Under
today’s
foreign
intelligence
surveillance
system, the
government’s
ability to
collect
information
about
ordinary
Americans’
lives has
increased
exponentially
while
judicial
oversight
has been
reduced to
near-nothingness.
Nothing less
than a
fundamental
overhaul of
the type
proposed
here is
needed to
restore the
system to
its
constitutional
moorings.

Act 1917
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/factcheck/ap-fact-check-obama-was-harsh-against-leakers/ar-BBNctjx?li=BBnb7Kz
Excerpt:
The Obama
administration
used the
1917
Espionage
Act with
unprecedented
vigor,
prosecuting
more people
under that
law for
leaking
sensitive
information
to the
public than
all previous
administrations
combined. Obama's
Justice
Department
dug into
confidential
communications
between news
organizations
and their
sources as
part of that
effort.
In 2013 the
Obama
administration
obtained the
records of
20
Associated
Press office
phone lines
and
reporters'
home and
cell phones,
seizing them
without
notice, as
part of an
investigation
into the
disclosure
of
information
about a
foiled al-Qaida
terrorist
plot.
AP was not
the target
of the
investigation.
But it
called the
seizure a
"massive and
unprecedented
intrusion"
into its
news-gathering
activities,
betraying
information
about its
operations
"that the
government
has no
conceivable
right to
know."
Obama's
Justice
Department
also
secretly
dogged Fox
News
journalist
James Rosen,
getting his
phone
records,
tracking his
arrivals and
departures
at the State
Department
through his
security-badge
use,
obtaining a
search
warrant to
see his
personal
emails and
naming him
as a
possible
criminal
conspirator
in the
investigation
of a news
leak.
"The Obama
administration,"
The New York
Times editorial
boardwrote
at the time, "has
moved beyond
protecting
government
secrets to
threatening
fundamental
freedoms of
the press to
gather
news."
