Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dear Readers:
Clarice’s latest, it’s very interesting, and as we say these days, “explosive”.
Given this and what has got to be obvious to anyone even casually following all this ‘Russia collusion’/Mueller fiasco/Destruction of the Trump presidency, this whole thing is enormous in its scope, with truly frightening implications for the nation and every one of its citizens.
What amazes and depresses me is, where are the ‘Trump voters’, the ‘patriotic’ veterans of America’s national intelligence and law enforcement apparatus, the media beyond the conservative enclaves…you know the ones. They proclaim themselves to be the ‘guardians’ of the Republic. Why is the business community silent. Though they believed they had to express their love for Obama because they recognized him as a natural enemy of free enterprise but knew he’d destroy them if they got out of line. Have they all been so corrupted by the far left/media/liberal establishment? Looks like it, if you can make a buck off ethanol or windmills, or cheap labor.
The astonishing scope of the corruption goes way beyond anything imagined by a John LeCarre or a Graham Greene, or Ian Fleming (James Bond), or Richard Condon (“The Manchurian Candidate).
Clarice lays out a sketch of what has been pretty obviously an Obama-inspired (and possibly , -run) truly diabolical and treasonous action.
Do we any longer have an FBI, or a Dept. of Justice that really does serve America’s national interest?
Unless what is laid out here and other widely exposed evidence is not properly pursued…it appears not! DLH

Exposed: the Deep State’s Authorship and Publication of the Dossier (excerpt)
The Internet is full of information, some of it not well researched or considered, but every now and then a star appears on the horizon. To my mind the new star is Yaacov Apelbaum, who, using his considerable technical skills, has produced a masterpiece of well-documented analysis underscoring the nonsensical and partisan nature of the Mueller operation. He compares this effort by the anti-Trumpers to the plot line of the Dreyfus affair, where falsified evidence and suppressed evidence led to Captain Alfred Dreyfus’s conviction for treason.
It’s lengthy and detailed and on a lovely Sunday in summer you may not want to study it completely, but if this subject is of interest to you, I strongly suggest you bookmark the article and study it at your leisure. I cannot do it justice in any summary, but I’ll try to hit the main points.
He concludes, after a long, substantive, technologically adept investigation:
The real dossier story is not the scandalous insinuations that it makes, but rather it’s the funding sources, the teams that worked on it, and its compilation and distribution channels. At peak capacity, the dossier team must have consisted of at least 25 individuals who worked on it for over 6-12 months. Assuming a modest $200 per hour rate per person, some first/business class travel and accommodations, media, consulting, IT, and legal services, this project most have cost an upwards of 5-10 million dollars. According to Simpson’s testimony and documents, Fusion GPS was only paid about a million dollars by the DNC and Clinton campaign, which begs the questions of what was Hakluyt’s [Ed: another private UK intelligence operation closely connected to Hillary Clinton] cut and where did the rest of the money go?
For today’s purposes, I will simply note the highlights, but the article really deserves the attention of readers, investigators, and reporters. Using open source intelligence materials, he’s pinpointed the source(s) of the deeply flawed Steele Dossier, which formed the basis for the FISA warrants used by the FBI and Department of Justice to gather intelligence on the President and his associates.
He details the organization and staffing of GPS Fusion and reports:
The political makeup of the team was exclusively democratic with many of the employees and interns having a strong political connection to the Clinton or Obama administrations. Jason Raymond, the Research Director, came from John Kerry’s press office and was affiliated with USAID; Laura Seago, a senior analyst, came from the Brennan Center for Justice and was also affiliated with USAID …the senior management had a documented history of misconduct and ethical-related issues. Glenn Simpson has a Profane Cursing and Public Intoxication conviction; Jason Felch, a former reporter and the managing partner of the LA office, was fired from the LA Times for deceitful reporting. He was also cheating on his wife on multiple occasions with his Occidental College investigative source.
As for the main author of the dossier, Christopher Steele, Apelbaum details his MI6 background and his connection along with fellow MI6-retiree Chris Burrows and Nicholas Butcher to other outfits after his cover was blown as a British spy. Also contributing to the Dossier was Nellie Hauke Ohr, wife of Bruce Ohr, and a British-French national, Edward Emil Baumgartner, who also has his own private intelligence consulting business in the UK,
Using a variety of methods and tools which he describes, Apelbaum has shown the interconnections between media figures and the dossier authors.
His research indicates:
The [Dossier] network graph analysis indicates that the fellowship of the dossier is a close-knit group; everyone knew each other long before embarking on the quest to find the alleged Russian collusion. All of the project key players are related through marriage, family relations, or work affiliations. [Snip] this team collaborated in various member configurations on many other ‘dossier projects’ and utilized the same collection methods, materials, resources, political network, and publication channels. . . .
