    Default The left is pissed about ICIG Atkinson firing

    They claim Trump fired him in the middle of the night so no one would know. All kinds of dramatic reporting. Oh, and another was he "waited" for this to fire him.

    Have they not been reading, paying attention at all over the past 3 years or so? And all of the complaints out there from the right? And all of it slowly coming together over time? And all of the things that were hidden but then exposed? The Fisa warrants? So many things and much about Atkinson and others was discussed already. The left just kept on trucking and kept up with the shenanigans, hid things they didn't like in the investigation and ignored the right or anyone else having information about all of these characters. And they still will condemn Trump when he fires someone correctly and ultimately the truth comes out. They just don't learn.

    And of course here comes Schiff with accusations. And likely an investigation and more. And he will lose again.\

    He should be in jail, along with Atkinson.

    --

    MUST READ: Fired and Disgraced Former ICIG Atkinson Left Behind a Trail of Lies and Corruption

    This guy should be locked up. Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) Michael Atkinson left behind a trail of lies and corruption from his days at the DOJ and as ICIG. Even his wife is connected to the Deep State.

    On Friday President Trump announced that he was firing ICIG Atkinson because he could no longer be trusted. The President had lost all confidence in Atkinson.

    Here is the President’s letter to the US Senate announcing the move:

    (I already posted massive letter of his firing)

    Atkinson was identified in the most recent FISA abuse report by the DOJ IG Horowitz as one of the individuals who was involved in FISA abuse which provides President Trump cover for firing Atkinson:

    …The recent IG report that outlines Atkinson’s gross incompetence in the FISA scandal, vis-a-vis the 42 DOJ-NSD Accuracy Reviews, is the atomic shield against the political narrative….
    But corrupt politicians like lying Adam Schiff, who pushed forward the unconstitutional and criminal impeachment of President Trump are up in arms about the President’s action:



    Schiff should be scared. His actions related to President Trump’s impeachment were corrupt and horrendous. Schiff ran with a story pushed by a whistleblower that was likely put together by Deep State attorney Mary McCord, fired ICIG Atkinson’s former boss:

    Prior to becoming IC Inspector General, Michael Atkinson was the Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General and Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Division, Mary McCord.

    It is very safe to say Mary McCord and Michael Atkinson have a working relationship from their time together in 2016 and 2017 at the DOJ-NSD. Atkinson was Mary McCord’s senior legal counsel; essentially her lawyer.

    McCord was the senior intelligence officer who accompanied Sally Yates to the White House in 2017 to confront then White House Counsel Don McGahn about the issues with National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and the drummed up controversy over the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak phone call.

    Additionally, Mary McCord, Sally Yates and Michael Atkinson worked together to promote the narrative around the incoming Trump administration “Logan Act” violations. This silly claim (undermining Obama policy during the transition) was the heavily promoted, albeit manufactured, reason why Yates and McCord were presumably concerned about Flynn’s contact with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. It was nonsense.
    McCord and Atkinson were involved also in the bogus FISA warrants recently investigated by the DOJ IG. We also know that two lovebirds who worked for Atkinson during his time were involved in doctoring the DOJ FISA warrant obtained to spy on candidate and President Trump.

    The individual (or individuals) were soon identified as Kevin Clinesmith who worked with his reported lover Sally Moyer.

    We reported previously that Atkinson took the ICIG position after working for McCord at the DOJ. McCord on the other hand found a position working for lying Adam Schiff.

    We then reported that Atkinson changed the IC whistleblower form in September of 2019 shortly after a CIA Agent, who was spying in the Trump White House, drafted a complaint on President Trump.

    Atkinson saw to it that the whistleblower form was updated to allow for second hand information, which the ‘whistleblower’ (believed to be Eric Ciaramella) provided in his complaint. Although, the form should not have been accepted based on second-hand information and because it was about the President of the United States (who is not a member of the IC), Atkinson accepted the complaint.

    Margot Cleveland at the Federalist notes the following about the timing of when Atkinson changed the form and requirements that complaints be based on first hand information:

    As Davis noted, the revised form “was uploaded on September 24, 2019, at 4:25 p.m., just days before the anti-Trump complaint was declassified and released to the public. The markings on the document state that it was revised in August 2019, but no specific date of revision is disclosed,” and the whistleblower’s complaint was dated August 12, 2019.

    It is unclear whether the whistleblower submitted a form with his nine-page dossier, and if so what form, as none was declassified. One suggestion that a form was submitted is the OIG’s summary of the complaint: “According to the ICIG, statements made by the President during the call could be viewed as soliciting a foreign campaign contribution in violation of the campaign-finance laws.”

    Yet nothing in the whistleblower’s complaint mentioned potential foreign campaign contributions. Was that the ICIG’s gloss of the complaint, or was that the summary the whistleblower used on the form?

    Frankly, it does not matter which, if any, form the whistleblower used: What matters is whether the ICIG changed its position on accepting complaints under the ICWPA. If, prior to this charge against Trump, the ICIG refused to accept complaints based on second-hand information, but altered its procedure to trigger the ICWPA for the president, that is a huge scandal and implicates many besides the so-called whistleblower.

    While the whistleblower’s plot to manipulate the ICWPA is obvious from the complaint, and so is his inaccurate partial quote of the statutory definition of “urgent concern,” the change in the form suggests complicity in the ICIG’s office. The director of national intelligence, who oversees the ICIG, should immediately investigate the investigator and determine whether there was a change in policy, when it occurred, why it occurred, and who initiated the change.
    President Trump spoke about Atkinson over the weekend and he said that the White House offered to provide a copy of the discussion the President had with the newly elected President of the Ukraine, which was the object of the ‘whistleblower’s’ complaint, but instead Atkinson went to Congress with the application:

    The whistleblower attempted to edit the form he originally provided. The original form stated that the whistleblower did not talk to Congress before filing the form but after it was discovered that he had met with Adam Schiff’s team in Congress, the whistleblower attempted to edit his form.

    President Trump, in his comments over the weekend, questions what about the leaker who was on the call and who provided the whistleblower with the bogus story about President Trump. President Trump also asks, what happened to the second whistleblower which was discussed right before the President released the transcript of the call with the Ukraine. Why did Atkinson not bring this individual forward? The President indicates that the second whistleblower could be the corrupt and dishonest Adam Schiff!

    What can be said that hasn't already been said about these corrupt, filthy, lying shyster democrats?

    The shit they pull is simply mind numbing, and it just keeps on... it's beyond words at this point. They should all be arrested for treason far as I'm concerned.

    And that Adam ScHITt, that bug eyed, pixie lipped, pencil necked shit stain truly ought to get a beat down. I swear that's all these sons a bitches would understand.

    Atkinson did his job and followed the law, but got in Trump's way. Trump admitted he fired Atkinson over the Ukraine scandal. Trump has the right and authority, but it stinks of corruption.

    I guess you haven't bothered to read all of Atkinson's actions over time? Or do you believe that all of the various people reporting, that they are all lying about his actions?

    But I do agree, it stinks to hell of corruption, from the folks who seriously abused the FISA system, and oddly changed things about how whistleblowers work at an odd time, a whistleblower just disappearing...

    But @pete311 - let me ask you one serious question:

    Adam Schiff. Reported to the nation that he had EVIDENCE of Trump colluding with Russia in his very possession. He stated this time and time again. But refused to release it. Then comes along impeachment, still nothing from him. Then his invented words that Trump stated. And here we are years later and he still has not used this to his advantage and refused to ever release the evidence he had in his possession.

    Do you think he ever had evidence as he stated? Do you think it was wrong to report such, and via congress to the entire nation? Claims of corruption of our president with a foreign country, and he possessed it. And surely no one on the left hearing this believed him, right? Of course millions did.

    And here we are, you calling Trump corrupt. Ok. What about Schiff? Were his actions appropriate? Should he be held accountable for telling congress and everyone else this whopper? And if not, why not? Why should he get away as a congressman, lying directly to Americans, of claims that are easily impeachable?

    I'll avoid deflection and anxiously await your answers and/or excuses.

    If Trump didn't trust him, for whatever reason, he needed to go. Regardless of how much everyone else liked him.

    Well, boys, when you participate in a failed coup, be prepared to reap the whirlwind.

    History is rife with the actual removed heads of knuckleheads trying to oust a leader. He should thank his lucky stars that he lives in this country and time.

    The left ignores that these folks serve at the pleasure of the president, and if they act out, or are suspected of wrongdoing, he can simply toss them ASAP and get someone in there that he trust. But of course the left all have to scream bloody murder and every single person ever fired has been a scandal and Trump fired them to hide this or that and all kinds of bullshit. And as you can see, whether it be here, the left politicians or the MSM - they just continue on and outright ignore any and all wrongdoing they don't like.

    Look at the mountains and mountains of shenanigans that Schiff alone has pulled and lied about. And here is is today continuing along the same path. And the left eats it up and couldn't care less about any other facts coming out that prove otherwise, such as investigations showing wrongdoing, such as here with Atkinson. It really is stunning to watch. The hypocrisy and amount of lies have went ten fold in the past 3 years.

    I, too, will be interested to see your reply to post #6, if or when you offer one.

    I've a 'blanket' question to ask:

    Should your Left wing figures all have their acts of corruption, all their misdemeanours, everything they do that insults the Office(s) they work for, every evidence of of basis for trust discredited ... ALL of this, overlooked .... for no other good reason that they're Lefties ? In other words -- does trying to combat President Trump, in your view, equate to a blanket pardon of any / all corruptions your Left wing pals have perpetrated ?

    I ask that you do not dodge this issue.
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    Just prepare yourself. Pete ain't known for answering the questions, especially those in which you already know the answer, and really everyone does. Then he will simply post articles in reply and avoid the questions and/or articles proving wrongdoing by the left.

    AND take note - the stuff about Atkinson and whathe was involved in, was investigated by many officials. The "trumpist source" he doesn't like - simply posts the investigations and results from them and then comments. You\ll note, the investigations and the results are ignored. Well, because the MSM who lies daily can do no wrong, and of course the DOJ and others investigating these folks must all be lying somehow.

    Over the past 3 years and these endless investigations, they have failed endlessly to toss shit at Trump. And through that time, folks have been outed on the left all throughout. And now the pain is coming, little by little, and they don't like it. Dang, wait until Barr and Durham finish their investigation. The left will try to jail them 2 for finding the truth!

    Oh, I thought he was working his 2 jobs, or too busy with all of his clients. Or maybe his stock portfolio.

    Sure glad he has time to pop in from time to time and bless us with the truth about things, and reminding us that he is one of those that literally couldn't care less if folks die. He couldn't care less HOW much law breaking is done by the left. He couldn't care less about the mammoth amount of lies the left has been busted with on the MSM AND in congress. Nope, not a care in the world. Only wrongdoing that can possibly be done is by righties, or lies can only come from right leaning websites.

    Seriously, ever seen him post an article about the literally endless times that the MSM has been outright busted lying about? Hell, ever even seen him contribute to such a thread to condemn any such MSM or individual that has lied, besides on the right? Whistles and then crickets. And about 20,000 unanswered questions from members here over time.

    It is COMMON KNOWLEDGE, that democrats overlook, albeit, outright IGNORE corruption, lies and wrong doing by their democrat party handlers. DO NOT expect a democrat to EVER admit to another democrat doing anything WRONG. They are simply INCAPABLE of it. They know that if they ever did, their OWN PARTY and PEOPLE would EAT THEM ALIVE. Democrats aren't ALLOWED to point out wrong doing by their own party.

    That's where little Pete is at. He is a good little group think, follow the leader, do as he's told, indoctrinated leftist democrat, and if you're expecting him to admit pencil neck ScHITt and other dems are corrupt to the core, you may well expect to get lemonade from the sun... it ain't gonna happen... not from Pete, not from ANY democrat, they are ALL ALIKE in LOCK STEP. Something has to be wired fucking BACKWARDS in their brain that they can be LIED to so BLATANTLY, over and over, by their brain washing masters and NEVER question a SINGLE, TINY LITTLE BIT OF IT even though there's MOUNTAINS of IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE showing democrat corruption. It's amazing and pathetic at the same time, that anyone can be that freakin' IGNORANT.

    I mean it's either their brain isn't functioning correctly, or they're truly just SHITTY, TWO FACED, TRASHY, LOW LIFE HYPOCRITICAL BASTARDS.

    Take your choice.
