Within recently released transcripts of documents by Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham there is a deposition by FBI Supervisory Special Agent 1, Joseph Pientka.
SSA Pientka has always been a little bit of an enigma because his name, exclusively, has been redacted from every official government document within the full investigation of DOJ and FBI misconduct. Even in tangential court documents (Flynn), related to Joseph Pientka and Peter Strzok’s investigative collaboration, Pientka is ALWAYS redacted from everything. The system in DC essentially ‘ghosted’ him in all things. Now, the nature of that motive is surfacing.
If the recent Senate transcripts are an indication of SSA Pientka’s side of the stories, it would appear the testimony and truthfulness of Pientka’s statements would be adverse to the interests of EVERYONE who framed the Trump-Russia narrative.
Within his testimony; and if we accept it is likely consistent with internal investigative statements to the IG and others; it appears Pientka realized the activity of the FBI was intentionally taken to hide the truth of how intelligence was weaponized against the Trump administration.
Joseph Pientka wanted to investigate Chris Steele in November of 2016 because he knew something was sketchy. Following the use of Chris Steele to get the FISA warrant on Carter Page -and by extension the Trump administration- Pientka wanted to explore the motives of Steele and the contacts he was using to push his narrative. That’s where FBI Director of Counterintelligence, Bill Priestap, steps in and stops Pientka.
“I recognized the significance of his reporting, the use in a FISA application. I had questions about our intel validation was ongoing in the Counterintelligence Division, and all of that contributed to my professional disagreement.”
[…] “My request was to the FBI director of intelligence for them to do what is considered an enhanced validation review, something outside and independent of the Counterintelligence Division.”
Pientka said that he was told that the enhanced review was “turned off” at Priestap’s direction, which led him to request a transfer off of the Crossfire Hurricane team.
“I had a professional disagreement with stopping the enhanced validation review,” Pientka said.
“This was a concern that you were so passionate about that it made you terminate your association with the case, the team, and go back to the Washington Field Office?” a Senate staffer asked Pientka.
“It was,” he replied. [Daily Caller, Chuck Ross]
Pientka wanted to explore the motives of Steele and the contacts he was using to push his narrative. FBI Director of Counterintelligence, Bill Priestap, steps-in and stops Pientka.
Bill Priestap did not want SSA Pientka to do a deep dive on Steele’s objectives, and as a result Pientka asked to leave the Trump-Russia investigation. Quite simply Pientka didn’t want anything to do with it… or what the FBI “Crossfire Hurricane” team was doing.
.
Supervisory Special Agent Joseph Pientka III was first identified by Senator Chuck Grassley in May of 2018 as the second FBI agent involved in the 2017 interview of Lt. General Michael Flynn.
Frustrated by the FBI stonewalling his Senate inquiry, Chairman Grassley dropped the revelation publicly on May 11th, 2018, in a letter to the FBI.
[…] the Committee’s oversight interest in the underlying documents requested more than a year ago now outweighs any legitimate executive branch interest in withholding it. So too does the Committee’s interest in learning the FBI agents’ actual assessments of their interview of Lt. Gen. Flynn, particularly given the apparent contradiction between what then Directory Comey told us in March 2017 and what he now claims.
[…] In addition, please make Special Agent Joe Pientka available for a transcribed interview with Committee staff no later than one week following the production of the requested documents… (link)
The FBI never produced Supervisory Special Agent (SSA-1) Joe Pientka for Chairman Grassley’s committee, and the conflict between the Senate Judiciary Committee and the FBI was never reconciled. (The DOJ/FBI made it to the safety of the mid-term election.)
Additionally, every single document containing information about the investigative activity of FBI agent Pientka has kept his name redacted. Not a single DOJ/FBI document has ever included his name.
However, around two months after Grassley outed his identity; we discover from the Inspector General that the DOJ-NSD (National Security Division) admitted to the FISA court that Agent Pientka was significantly less than forthcoming with “factual omissions” in the Title-1 surveillance application he assembled against Carter Page.
While the IG report doesn’t name SSA-1 as Joseph Pientka, all documentary evidence supported that Pientka was indeed SSA-1. [This was also confirmed by Fox News reporter Gregg Jarrett writing an article about SSA-1 Pientka, and by Jarrett being contacted by the FBI as soon as he outed the agent.]
In addition to the Flynn interview, the Inspector General Report notes the importance of SSA-1 as he pertains to the FISA application.
FBI Supervisory Agent Pientka’s lies and omissions to the FISC were material – and made under penalty of perjury. He knew the dossier was fraudulent. He knew about witness denials. In short, Pientka was willfully blind to the court about the FISA application’s accuracy.
After the FISA Court was notified in about the issues (July 2018), and before the IG report outlining the conduct of SSA1 was complete (Dec. 9, 2019)… sometime in mid 2019 Joseph Pientka was promoted by FBI Director Christopher Wray and transferred to the San Francisco FBI Field Office
Pientka bailed out and went to work in the San Francisco Field Office. The DC insiders then worked to keep Pientka far away, and put into place a network operation to keep him hidden. Even his arrival at the San Francisco Field Office was scrubbed after CTH noted there was a brief mention of his new position: BEFORE:
AFTER:
If the current statements made by Pientka had been made public, there is a strong likelihood the entire Trump-Russia narrative would have collapsed.
Throughout 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, SSA1 Pientka was in position to bring a lot of sunlight to the corrupt intents of the DOJ, FBI and the Robert Mueller team.
It now appears that after Joseph Pientka realized the FISA application was fraudulent; and after he notified the FBI and Mueller Team he was not willing to go along with the fraud and corrupt intent; he was ostracized and shipped to San Francisco.
From the testimony he gave on Tuesday August 27, 2020. He was still there…
Just like FBI Special Agent in Charge, Brian Dugan (ie. the James Wolfe investigation), there are FBI agents who could destroy the network of corruption that was taking place within the DOJ and FBI from 2015 (Strzok et al) though 2019 (Mueller et al). This is not up for debate.
Keep in mind, as a personal commitment to the truth; and out of an abundance of granting the benefit of the doubt to the Department of Justice; I have personally walked through lead John Durham investigator, William Aldenberg, on the location of each of these potential whistle-blowers and the evidence they possess.
Both FBI SSA Joseph Pientka and FBI SSIC Brian Dugan hold information that is ultimately connected to the larger operations… which also touches deeply into the Senate Intelligence Committee motive and the Mueller probe motive. The information is silo’d and segmented, but CTH pulled each part out of the individual compartments and handed it to William Aldenberg (John Durham’s lead investigator).
To date, nothing has been done…
Sundance, your work and tireless efforts have been amazing. You are a true American hero even though it is doubtful you’ll ever be publicly realized as such. Within two years, the American Republic will be dead and none of this will ever come to light. There may be an outside chance before the next election to “prove the steal” but it doesn’t appear likely. I always thought Trump would be the last Republican president–I just hoped he’d get 8 years before they perfected the steal.
I wish Trump had gone full wolverine and brought in the military on this. Now, if we can’t prove the fraud and get the election process verifiable by the next election, put a fork in us as we’re done. No political solution remains. The only remaining options are slavery, secession, or civil war.
Secession better happen ASAP as Biden is going to legalize 20 million…straight to Texas and Florida.
Elections fairness. Learn the language of the newcomers. Do not let the Dems develop ghettos for them like the Somali apartment tower where Ilhan Omar scares people into voting for her en masse thought they DO NOT want to. Our new immigrants can be our voters if we learn their language and campaign there and assure they can vote freely.
Learn their language? Are you sure you aren’t still a Dem?
By the way, exactly which language might that be? We have immigrants coming from all over the world. Do you expect Americans to learn all those languages? Wouldn’t it just be better if we kept ONE common language, and encouraged those who move here to love the USA enough to assimilate?
Actually Formerdem, I think it’s a great idea. While we stand around saying to ourselves learn “our” English language we’ve missed great opportunities to connect. We as conservatives need to communicate to immigrants, because like it or not they are here. South of the border people are conservative but once here, have been taught to vote Democrat, by the Spanish speaking Democrats. We can change that. Conservatives who connect through language can show how radical and so far from the norm it would shock these good, family strong people.
Are you aware the age of consent in Mexico, by law, is age twelve?
Now, what were you saying about “South of the border people are conservative” and “family strong people.” ?? Have you been smoking something with Jeb?
I think Michelle Malkin even showed the 2nd generation Mexican immigrants are more liberal than their parents in regard to voting for Dems/Marxists and the “free” handouts from taxpayers. If they were sooper catholic activists on par the American catholics, the Dems would not dare have them flood our country for the sake of all-important abortion lobby.
Started with the ‘hyphenated’ american.
Alexander the great chose one language, why? It cut ties with cultures.
Again, ‘Alexander the Great’.
Yeah PJ, but look how that’s turned out for us
PJ is right about the question, “which language would that be?”
This crop of Central Americans doesn’t necessarily speak Spanish.
They include a variety of Central American Indian Tribes who speak their tribal languages. Very obscure languages.
Good luck for your small town school district to find translators to assure the illegal alien children get a free education as rouge judges have ordered. On your taxes.
I agree wholeheartedly. Southerners will be the hope to save the Republic. They come from crime riddled countries and do not want swap out their pasts for the same old same. They do not want to effeminate their men and bastardize their language/culture for a population that is led than .0000001% and forced to be woke for faux grievances. They can easily be R voters if the Rs had half a brain
This is war and not a debate. Post’s like yours are either politically naive or purposefully deceptive.
Which is it?
40 million by my reconning. We literally have less than a year before the communists take 100% permanent control of the US. We must stop them no matter the cost.
I think if I was going to try to cross the border, I wouldn’t think Texas or Florida. California is where I’d head for
Yeah, but we saw how Homeland Security put them on buses and sent them all over the US
Don’t think for a minute that the Dems can’t place them where they want them
We don’t want them in Texas.
It is not 20 million. It is 40 million or more. Multiply by 3 family members of each that can immigrate, and you end up with 120 million. The commies will never have to steal another election with 120 million new votes. No party other than the commie party will ever occupy the WH or hold a majority in the house or senate.
And it all it took for the commies to take over the country was to steal one election. They knew they had to act now or 4 more years of Trump would have destroyed them.
Give the bastards credit, they pulled it off.
And if anyone should pay, it should be the effing media.
We need to let the American average person understand just how many people we are talking about. 23,000,000 is HALF of the current population of California (of course there are about 7,000,000 minimum illegals here as the Dem-run Government makes us the virtue-signalling-gravy-train-bleeding-heart-diversity-loving-multicultist capital of the world).
Most of the new caravans are going to cross the border either at Otay-Mesa Crossing or Tijuana Crossing at the border with San Diego County as California is a soft touch…..even though Texas is closer by road. We saw that with the last caravans. Fortunately, they got held up in TJ and some San Diegans fought back at the border by the fence as as it fades into the surf zone on the Ocean (just north of the TJ bullring).
California has about 30% of it’s population living below the poverty line. The cost of living here is waaaaay too high. We are bursting at the gills in regard to residential space and high-density housing (and of course our bad traffic).
Liberals have never met the last batch of “poor poor immigrants wanting a better life” they advocated letting in free of cost. They have noooooo idea where these people are or what they are doing. Yet they want more to come. It’s like they are spoiled kids who neglected their last pet to death but demand from their wimpy parents to have them buy yet another pet!!
If you were to place a LA , SD, SF liberal in front of an unmarked map of their town, they would not be able to point out where the barrio was or the last time they SHOPPED at a store or ate at a restaurant in the barrio. We have enough hispanic citizens to produce their own kids to give liberals mexican cuisine and other cultural offerings. It’s like this group’s “hispanicness” is “less authentic” and must be replaced by the “freshest” hispanics just as your car loses value as soon as you drive it off the car lot. Liberals have never made the lives of hispanics “better”, only their own self-worth to other liberals. I am technically hispanic.
Likewise, Senators Snowblower Murkowski and Shaky Collins and Bernie Whiteboy Sander and Crazy Mazie Hirono have NO qualms about open borders as their states are the furthest geographically from Mexico (Hawaii is the MOST ISOLATED land mass on earth, of course). NH, VT, ME are 97% homogenous in ethnicity. Their citizens do not have to deal with endemic child rape, DUIs, Mexican-Mafia/Cartel criminals, or poorly-performing ESL classes on the scale that Californians, Zonies, New Mexicans and Texans have to on an hourly basis.
we do not have to prove the fraud. we only have to clean up the elections.
no touch screens because their operations are a black box. clarify how exactly the state legislature would object another time, if Governor does not call them. Change out the Secretary of State. Tidy up the absentee ballot thing, and clear out the voter rolls. volunteer as a poll watcher. be polite when called racists which we will be. It all has to be done.
There are I guess seventeen main counties serving as “ports” into the body politic for the injection of cheating ballots. Those ports just have to be closed up. Those near to them just have to find the way to do it.
And dump any official who abandons Trump or repeats lies about him. those people are weak and unjust and we cannot be led by them.
The only way to do this is to get the crooks from 2020 at the senior level prosecuted. How does that happen?
Normally that would be the FBI’s job but obviously won’t happen. Only other way I can think of is for patriotsto raise enough funding to keep Sidney Powell and team on the effort, if she would even still be interested. There will be no investigation happening within the government. Outside investigators and attorneys and private funding is the only way any progress will happen on the legal front.
I wonder if there five honest people in the whole city of DC. My instinct tells me that DJT may be the ONLY one worthy of our trust. The level of corruption in our government staggering.
I have learned much in these four yrs…..but it remains—the corruption is in every nook and cranny and ONE man cannot reveal it.
I’ll still give Trump an ‘attaboy’ for revealing as much as he has.
Just like Sodom and Gomorrah!
Sodom and Gomorrah needed 10 to be spared. Ninevah repented and was spared, for a while.
Sadly there is not 10 decent people in DC.
Most of them are decent people. I was born there and lived most of my life near or in. You can’t persuade people you hate, so why amp up the hate at these people? Most are decent, kind, good, and trying to do their job.
95% are Dems.
Just doing their jobs.
Where have I heard that before?
McCain.
Nuremberg??
Orders, Jobs whatever???
Too many of them listen to NPR and watch CNN. They live in an information bubble.
FormerDem,
Most may be decent, but what good is being decent if you do not stand up to corruption just because one want to keep doing their job?
Sodom and Gomorrah = House and the Senate.
Needs a good does of fire and brimstone to restore it.
Pientka should’ve resigned rather than being transferred. No honor in DC either except for the Trump family.
there is a radius around DC, about 12 kilometers, give or take…inside ..NOT EVEN LIGHT ESCAPES. At the edges is the event horizon….you get TOO CLOSE and everything is annihilated..transformed to PURE POWER. JUST ENERGY.
DC Insider only “think” they operate intelligently and morally within that radius. But it’s the greatest type of confusion about the nature of concentrated power. No one escapes alive. You are STRIPPED of everything that is important and honest. Driven and beaten to the most base of all elementary particle.
what you end up with is just a tearing away at the human soul..in search for some kind of reward….where everyone competes.
these are people who are attracted and motivated to walk directly into the fire.
think about that.
deeply.
imagine for a moment if you have been living in a typical american rural area. peaceful, law abiding, hopeful, honest, hard working people. And you for reasons that don’t need to get explained, happen to move to the center of the most concentrated power in planet earth.
How long do you think it would take before two things happen:
you either SPRINT as fast as you can and as far away as possible….
or
you acquiesce to the darker side of the soul.
this was me. 1976….I literally walked out of virgina at an age that was shocking to my parents. It was hurtful…I knew that. I understand the pain my family would feel seeing their middle kid just take off.
But I heard the LORD calling me. In the most clear voice of my entire lifetime:
leave!
so I did.
I can imagine this place is far worse now than at any other time.
Which is sad but also predictably too.
If you study history (I did for a long time and still do), with clear objective eyes, you find there is a consequence of concentrating human power and competition. It gets ugly very fast.
will always be a country boy…The city life is for fool’s and thieves.
Around here, and many parts of this country that I love…you can look someone in the eyes and shake their hand, and honor happens. Every single time.
You try that in the city, and you are a “mark”.
It’s not a trivial difference.
People over time adopt evil…it does become systemic at all levels.
SATAN works best in a crowded room…(pawpaw..1980 something)
You can start to understand God’s position on Sodom & Gomorrah.
Given that teh DOJ/FBI are corrupt and lied to the FISA Court, it was the responsibility of the FISC to discipline the liars, and withdraw the fraudulently-obtained and maintained spy warrants.
Any honest Federal Court judge would do this. (there may be some left). But not a Star Chamber Court, which even it admits has a heightened responsibility to protect civil rights and the propriety of its proceedings because the defendants are not represented or refviewable by appeal. But the FISC is completely content to allow lying, fraud, failure of ethical responsibility to advise the Court of past misstatements. The FICS effectively said it is OK to commit fraud, did not hold disciplinary hearings, did not recommend criminal prosecution, and never withdrew the fraudulent Warrants, instead leaving them in place to protect what was illegal criminal spying.
Pretzel boy Roberts runs that show and now we know which side of the fence he has been on since Obamacare…he sleeps with liars!
Bill Priestap’s spouse tied to Deep State takeover of university curricula globally – Patriots for Truth (patriots4truth.org)
Comey has always been a boot licker, a slime of the worst order. And to think he now has a teaching post at Columbia…that should tell the average citizen how our universities have turned into brainwashing camps.
Time to load up and bug out…I’m thinking of buying a sailboat on the West coast and heading out for clear waters…too old to fight again, maybe become a smuggler for our side of the fight!
Sundance,I have no idea whether this is true,but I live in hope “https://richardsonpost.com/howellwoltz/20190/will-biden-have-inauguration-arraignment-or-both/ “
God bless and always remember you Sundance!
Thank you Sundance, how refreshing. It has been awhile that I smiled and that brought back some good memories.
Who doesn’t like Jimmy Buffet? You do a lot of great work, Sundance, but you’re like a voice in the wilderness. When you came back from your D.C. swamp trip and told us to, “Go out and live your best life,” or something like that, I knew we were screwed. When I watched DJT’s last few rallies before the rigged election I saw exhaustion or the look of a man alone against a hurricane. If the Chicom vegetable is installed in the WH words won’t be enough to change anything. Xiden will pound the last nail in America’s coffin with his ruinous “America last” policies and mass illegal immigration. I can’t say I didn’t see this day coming. My uncle once told me, I think it was back in about 1974, that big money will always get their way and that they don’t care what we think. One of my dad’s friends retired from the see eye a and he told me a lot of unbelievable things. I once asked him who he was voting for and he just laughed. He told me voting was a waste of time. That was also in the 70’s. Now they (this so-called gov by the people) don’t even try to hide their corruption. The deep state mockingbird media tells us to believe them and not our own eyes when they commit industrial scale voting fraud in broad daylight. They don’t care what we think. We are just cattle to them. It’s almost like our phone numbers are our prisoner numbers, address cell block numbers, and zip code the number of our penitentiary. We can at least thank DJT for exposing how corrupt the entire system is from top to bottom. If there are no good guys left, you know, the ones who supposedly took an oath to protect and defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic (meaningless words it seems), is this republic worth saving in its present state? I say economic boycott, non consent velvet revolution like Estonia’s should be our model. Look how Gandhi’s movement put an end to colonial rule. Yes, these sick power hungry, greedy scumbags only rule by the consent of the governed. As a side note, how much is enough? These multi billionaires who want to destroy America made their wealth from American capitalism but have nothing better to do than to destroy and enslave the country that gave them so much. They are so greedy they want to make sure no one has the same opportunities for success. All they think about night and day is how they can make the rest of us poor and themselves richer. How many billions is enough? Their greed and power hunger is like a sickness. Enslaving us won’t be enough for these sick demented creatures from Hell. They have said China is their model. Absolute tyranny, organ harvesting, etc. Look what they’ve done to this country so far. Tent cities with easily available hardcore drugs and drug needles scattered on the ground, mounds of trash and rats, and human waste on the streets! Sickening! These so-called leaders have no shame! Yet the Dem’s can’t see their failings and double and triple down on this Hell they have created on Earth. If Satan came up from from his kingdom in Hell to one of our Dem cities he would look around and say, “Is this my Hell in Hell or the new Hell my minions created? I can’t tell the difference!”
Can I come…? 🙂
Good idea.
I have a laundry list of things we’ll need. You might need a bigger boat.
And, unfortunately, nothing will be done. All the dirty cops, except the sacrificial goat with a light sentence, will walk. Everybody in DC from Barr down knows all this and chose to do nothing. And now we have the return of all the dirty cops(if they even left) with the corrupt Biden cartel. The sooner we realize that conservatives will never get true justice, the better–
Even today, I remain perplexed as to why the president has not blown the airwaves up with information we the people have the right to see and know. The hoax perpetrated against him remains cloaked. The computers of the Awans, Seth Rich and Anthony Weiner sit on the shelf at the FBI. I will never understand why so much which could have been revealed, wasn’t.
That’s not a hard concept.
You threaten PDJT with spending the rest of his life defending Democrat State based AGs doing endless prosecutions of him, looking eventually for a Democrat jury. You threaten him with an FBI section doing nothing else but getting PDJT.
In return for no serious effort to persecute him after office he drops disclosure.
I would in a heartbeat. He deserves to enjoy his life now.
There will be a cache that guarantees the Democrats contractual performance.
They are going to do that anyway.
Not if Trump has an off shore kill switch to documents
If you were President Trump would you believe or trust a Democrat or RINO?
History, I have always understood that.
I have said for the last 3 years, when the FBI, CIA, DOJ corruption news began to seep out, that it would be extremely hard, if not impossible, to bring to justice a Deep State bureaucracy that has metastasized into all branches of government. Even to the lowest levels. The Intelligence Community birthed by Allen Dulles and his cabal after WW2 have manipulated world politics and economics and have become a malignancy that will kill its host before giving up its power. I beg someone to show me I’m wrong.
He has always been more about getting positive things done, than about war.
True, President Trump kept us out of the stupid neocon wars. He brought home troops. Extracted us from entanglements. Trump saved untold lives by being peaceful.
They have threatened the innocent lives of those he loves. Period. End of story.
Because he blew it, period, end of story! My entire family of reasonable people voted for him and we were fooled.
Try Priestap with Mueller and Comey for sedition, and hang them when convicted.
President Trump should make a priority to clear his name and declassify/make public all docs about this hoax. For his family and business’ sake.
Give the docs to Bannon he will get it out there.
He tweeted a few times about declassifying all of it, we don’t know what he did or didn’t, but I wonder if they are declassified and they are now in the hands of some media people that will drop them when it’s most damaging time for the swamp.
John Solomon is a honest guy, he mentioned names and specifics docs that were declassified that we haven’t seen yet.
The only way Trump can clear his name is to get the evidence of BOTH the coup against him AND the stolen election into a court of law where evidence is examined, discovery is allowed, and perjurers are prosecuted.
However, given our court system is a cesspool of corruption, cowardice and illegality, I don’t have much hope that Trump will ever get justice.
You are beyond excellence Sundance! Even without the newly released transcript of FBI SA Joseph Pientka, you figured it out and gave all information to Durham’s investigator, Aldenberg.
My only further comment would be that under this soon to be White House, I have zero faith in any possible cleanup of the FBI, DOJ or Alphabet Intel agencies. It will continue to be the “pretend not to know”, intentional hiding of Brady-type material.
What was done to President Trump, Gen Michael Flynn and all the others is despicable.
LaVerne: As we all do, these people will face death someday, and they will fear it more than most.
All we can do now is look back on the missed opportunities to prosecute a whole raft of people that put the wellbeing of our country beneath raw political ambition. We will, however, hold a special place of contempt for those rino senators that were privy to it all and did nothing.
Up To There, they deserve nothing but contempt, certainly not our vote.
Another very fine analysis. Thank you. Stunning realization of just how long we have been living in this Banana Republic (no offense to bananas!) .On his way out the door, former head of Clowns in Action turned Attorney General limited Durham’s investigation. Utterly disgusting failure.
Just imagine the USA and the world without the FBI and every person that works for the FBI.
No one really works there but they lie like the do work there.
This is a serious pain point for me personally. What possible good is even talking about the “Cricklewood Brief” at this point? I personally invested way too much time forming a local group and prepared them to receive it. Then all of a sudden, poof, “we need to focus all of our energy on the election”. I ended up being a complete embarrassment to everyone I recruited. BS. Give up the goods or move on.
Cold Anger……
I used to know an FBI counterintelligence agent socially. About 4 years ago he zip-tied his wife to their stair rail and proceeded to commit suicide in their shower, using his service weapon. This is an absolutely true story.I think about this story whenever I see the term “FBI counterintelligence.” Let’s just say I have a very, very low opinion of these people.
If you saw Rick Grenell on Maria Bartiromo’s show yesterday (link shared by Sundance) and heard his comments about San Francisco/Northern California, you can guess why the elusive Mr. Pientka was shipped to the Bay Area. Presumably he can be relied upon to do the right thing when the district’s politicians compromise themselves via the the usual CCP traps (the pretty students, the assistants, the drivers, etc.) and keep his mouth shut.
If the FBI can pursue a false investigation, and spy on the President sans one penalty can you imagine what they can do to the peasants without a peep of outrage from the media or politicians?
This. And this is why it’s dangerous.
Interesting to see what happens at Clinesmith sentencing on Jan 20th?? Reading LastRefuge twitter,
got me thinking.
Correction – date is Jan 29th!!
he gets 3- 6months Maggie.
its all bullshit – he can be the fall guy for 3 months.
All for naught. 5 years, methodical assembly of evidence and rejected by three branches of government. They know we know, yet while sipping bourbon in a DC lounge, they laugh at our attempts of justice while daring us to do something about it. A special place in hell reserved for all of them, and it will be our job to send them there.
They are, indeed, toying with us.
I’m sure they are storing Sundance’s information in a nice safe place, probably right next to Hunter Biden’s laptop. These items will never see the light of day.
I firmly believe that Aldenberg only wanted to see what you had, Sundance. I bet the evidence file was scrubbed soon after your meeting.
If Aldenberg is a “decent” guy he circular filed Sundance’s info. If he is not, then he notified his superiors.
To date, nothing has been done…
Aldenberg is Jeff Zucker disguised as an FBI agent, that’s why nothing has been done.
When election fraud is staring the FBI in the face, they become Sgt. Schultz, When the FBI does not like you, they create crimes to smear you.
Nothing has been done to clean up the FBI and restore public perception. Not Trump’s fault. The senate would never approve somebody to go in and clean up the mess. They only install people who hate Trump.
US marshalls should arrest the FBI – interview all of them – send them home to wait for final determination if they will serve time.
I understand Gitmo has rebuilt all anew and larger just in time for an influx of criminals for Military Trials. It is a nice quiet setting with little chance of escape.
bertdilbert, “not Trump’s fault,” absolutely true. The republicans in the senate are totally responsible for that, every last one of them.
It had to be over 2 years ago that Bongino discussed Priestep.
Said something to the effect:
A) Priestep has flipped and bunches of people are going down
Or
B) Priestep is going to go down hard.
Didnt offer a C) The current DOJ was in on it too.
This
Versus This
—————
Peintka a Good Boy? Or a Bad Boy?
Good Boy = DOJ frame Pientka as the FALL guy after the shuttled him away?
Bad Boy ? the why quit the investigation for not enough evidence vetting of Steele?
Our virtuous IG is applying leverage against Joe Pientka, “Joe we better hear nothing about this again”.
that is the logical theory given the trend.
Joe was on the hunt for truth…made some noise.
then gets a clear message:
stop.
and gets “rewarded” for complying.
where have we seen this before.
where will be see this play out again under the malarkey regime?
sad but true
I wonder if William Aldenberg is Jeff Zuckers twin brother? There is a strong physical resemblance and both are anti-American criminals. Maybe one or both were adopted?
That shot of Aldenberg creeps me out. He looks like that CNN stooge Stetler.
And nothing will ever be done
I wonder if Carter Page will succeed in his court case even?
Page woud need someone infinitely better to replace Grifter Wood.
The FBI will make a seamless transition to an American version of the Stasi/KGB/ZOMO, etc. Remember, not a single whistleblower came out of that cowardly and corrupt organization. Not one, for all the thousands of paper pushers. Your knowledge of Sundance’s research and proof of all the criminality that preceded, is power in your back pockets now. You’d be foolish to wait around until the inevitable happens. Read the Gulag Archipelago, but especially Kolyma Tales by Varlam Shalamov. That’ll give you plenty of motivation not to take this election theft sitting down. Might as well drive the Left crazy while you’re at it and wear your T shirt which reads Trump Won. Because he did. Truth drives the Left kaboncky. Thank the Good Lord you Americans are allowed by your constitution to bear arms. The Germans, Poles, Russians, weren’t as fortunate. The Fibbers need to know that the bunch of you aren’t a collection of Roger Stones whose houses they can raid with CNN backlighting. Yours won’t be easy arrests! And don’t kid yourselves – just listen to the rabid hatred of the MSM. And btw, it’s only the most ambitious and adventurous who make the choice to leave their country. Make those immigrants yours; they have initiative and want a better life for their families. They don’t belong to the Dems.
Your lives suddenly got very interesting on 3 November. No more dull moments thinking what will President Trump do. It’s your turn now. Here in Canada where the Left covers every institution like a wet blanket, we’ll soon be suffering from the cancelation of Keystone X and the unbearable indebtedness that out-of-control spending brings.
Remember this about the catastrophe which has befallen America. This is a cultural collapse. A party, which includes nearly one-half of the electorate, is prepared to kill an unborn child at eight and one-half months. As a culture you do not protect your young from the sexual sewer which flows unimpeded over the internet. None of that suddenly happened. And a party whose platform includes killing certainly has no problem with stealing and cheating. C’mon, man.
I’m all for fixing the elections. But if that fails, it’s secession or civil war. Why would you be frightened of that? With four years of lying behind you, why ever would you think you won’t be lied to now? Calmly prepare. You don’t have to be meat for their grinder. Part of that preparation is spiritual renewal. Cultural renewal. Turn off your phone and visit with your wife and kids. Don’t bother reading a good book. There’s no time for that. Read only great books now.
Your country needs you and many more like you and our country needs you and many more like you.
In fact, the world needs you and those like you.
God Bless you and yours.

There seems to be guidance to redact names of non-SES employees. I’ve read it in a couple of places but cannot find in an official-looking document without turning my search into an all-night project.
In the Strzok-Page texts while Strzok was in a supervisory role at the Washington Field Office, Lisa Page expressed surprise that Strzok was not classified as SES. Apparently Pientka is still not SES.
Here is Sally Moyer on Page 8 of her deposition:

My unit chief was acting section chief. That is, he’s a non-SES employee, so I’ve been instructed by the FBI not to name those individuals.

Mr. Meadows. Yeah. We’ve got the email chains. So who was the other lawyer?
Ms. Page. I’m —
Mr. Meadows. That’s a closed case. You should be able to tell us.
Ms. Page. I have been told by the FBI that people, other than myself, who are GS-15s, we’re not, sort of, providing that.
Good job bro.
So, as we always suspected, every part of DC. knew that the Russian hoax was just that a hoax. NO ONE thought otherwise.
DeepState and those patriot forces that fought around the edges but never just came out and told the American people about the fraud being perpetrated on us by DC and the media are both guilty.
Every senator heard that testimony. Why didnt ANY of them blow the whistle publicly. Go on Dobbs or Maria AND GIVE NAMES? Because they didnt want to blow the whistle. Some just wanted to sow the thoughts that they were on OUR side but it was a lie.
And where is the decliassification, John Solomon? Where is it? I guess even you are just trying to build an audience for your project, Just the News.
All liars. EVERY ONE OF THEM.
.
”… it appears Pientka realized the activity of the FBI was intentionally taken to hide the truth of how intelligence was weaponized against the Trump administration … “
… therefore that is why we were never allowed to hear any testimony from him.
Period
Full stop
nimrodman, thank you for diluting all the blather so succinctly. Nothing else needs to be said on the subject.
Remember when all the pundits were saying that Priestap was a key player, someone to watch, and they indicated he would be nothing short of a total hoax-breaker; seems they had the wrong player in mind.
Either that, or those same pundits decided to put that falsehood forward to stoke our interest and keep us watching building their own brands while simutaneously helping DeepState coverup and obfuscate the truth. Which would explain why so many of those same pundits were seen to thrive and survive at FOX News as much as anywhere else.
I started reading the transcripts last night. Obviously not done yet. BUT, I keep coming back to the thought that it seems that Carter Page was a “willing participant”..IE he took one for the team to start the whole Russia deal… Just MHO.
We will see, with Trump out of office, how ardently he pursues his lawsuit, if at all.
must consider his spook background and the nature of spy community.
this is going to be nauseating to many to contemplate:
page WILL continue his lawsuit.
and the agency and department (aka, the gov’t) will settle.
they will do this to make sure that no other court case involving HIS testimony will ever allow the material and truth to see the light of day.
the only reason for the delays are many:
a. waiting costs nothing…waiting allow more information and judge shopping who will have more reasons to accommodate a kangaroo court proceeding.
b. the timing will be important as there are still some ongoing cases and investigations that need to be capstoned by this settlement.
c. page steals attention away from other important issues. waiting allows the headfake to continue..talking points for the media meatheads and corruptors.
the govt and agencies will settle. It seals the material and ends it on a schedule they control.
there is a reason why page launched early attempts to suits but then withdrew them all.
he got counsel from the govt and agencies on how to do it “correctly” for maximum impact.
they also did not want to embarass the “intel” committees where potentially some jackwagon might go off script and talk about page.
mind you..the recent release of the intel committee about this very subject matter (page) left the door open for future do over of that same set of questions.
when did the FBI KNOW page was a cia asset developed to spy on trump
and what was page’s actual financial dealings with ‘russians”.
THAT is what the govt and the agencies want to bury…
so he will eventually go to court and they will settle and the case will be closed.
remember, congress has no standing of harm..right?
they can do subpoenas and oversight till the cows come home, but the reality is that congress does not do law enforcement. given Page was a primary spy on leach and loan from the CIA to the FBI to gain a fisa hop warrant….anyone that thinks that the department or the agency is going to run down a serious investigation and do prosecutions is barking at the moon.
never going to happen
what will happen is that page will get his “case” settle to satisfy a legal conclusion that is permanent .
and that’s a wrap.
page did not kill himself.
“To date, nothing has been done…” = Truth is Swimming with the Fishes
a moment of contemplation.
lets assume the election WAS NOT FRAUDULENT. Just imagine that for a moment.
Does THAT actually change anything about the corrupt state?
there is a lesson here….it’s cancer….you can try to distinguish between stages…but it IS cancer.
you can either treat the symptoms….or you can cure the root cause of it.
the corrupt powers are slipping mickies into your drink…a little here..a. little there.
of course it would ultimately wind up as an in you face election fraud. of course it would….
that’s the nature of cancer.
arrow of time and all that jazz.
the point here is what happens to a nation when otherwise good and decent people just sit idle and watch as cancer is happening and do nothing?
were we actually waiting until fraud of our votes happened to react?
was that what it actually takes?
there is a lesson here…a weighty one.
what is your test….where is your line in the sand. how much is too much.
dc graft…pedo officials….corrupt judges…making law in the high courts…taxation without representation…zero respect for redress of grievance and legitimate provable evidence of crimes at the highest level. starting entire wars on fraud….war of religion…millions (65 Million and counting) of real tiny human beings who cannot defend themselves…murdered!…
was it election fraud that broke the camels back for you?
we are now stage 4…
now what should have been done is not a mandate to save the body….now, we will have to literally cut limbs off the body in order to survive.
the cost of doing nothing while the world burns, is enormous.
we DID THIS. All of us. THIS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
now you can take this and run away from it….and that’s clearly the trend.
or you can realize that it really is
now
or
never.
we are right on the brink….the tipping point is behind us already.
it’s about how we can survive the fall.
the question is…how far do you expect the corruptors to send you to your fall?
trust me when I say this: that fall will be merciless and never ending…generational.
we are a proud nation with a rich history of patriots who paid the highest price of human life that you can have the opportunity to freedom and liberty.
what they fought for was not just honorable, but righteous. it was GOOD they did these things.
freedom is NOT free.
there is a cost for freedom. It MUST BE WON.
so while we are standing around scowling at the horrors of stage 4…
trust this…if you do nothing…you ain’t seen pain yet.
not even close.
I pray that American Patriots will stand up and begin.
we NEED TO BEGIN.
NOW!
When the Soviet Union collapsed the truth was finally revealed even though most already knew the true story. The same will happen here. I just wish President Trump would have had a few patriots step up to help. Sundance is the people’s hero.
He was, “Ostracized and shipped to San Francisco.” San Francisco is a OP (office of preference within the FBI). So it was more of a reward for staying silent. There’s a lot of $$$ in the Bay Area that will be looking for security when he retires. Being sent to an Indian Reservation like Gallup, New Mexico would considered ,”Ostracized.”
Did Pientka have a duty to come forward and go public?
Instead, he’s placed in a far away office which does not acknowledge his existence?
Soooo tired of the less than honorable folks involved in this mess.
Don’t forget SA WILLIAM BARNETT, who echoed these concerns re: Flynn case
https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592/gov.uscourts.dcd.191592.249.0.pdf
I pray the troops and walls in DC are there to prepare for what President Trump plans to unveil in the coming hours.
…and now…..nothing will ever be done.
Nice song while reading: Sundance
im afraid nothing will be done on anything unless they find it selectively interesting
It is over, unless the 74 million, do the following:
