MIL-ED PERSPECTIVES.. IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEAL; RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE AND ACCUSATIONS OF TRUMP COLLUSION; THE MUELLER REPORT... JOHN BRENNAN AND ADAM SCHIFF
Amir Hossein Motaghi and Israeli intelligence claimed that prior to the formal Geneva negotiations Valerie Jarrett engaged in undercover negotiations with the Iranian regime [ Supreme Leader Ali Khamini and President Rouhani] for an extended period and that the Geneva negotiations were just a charade. In any case ,the massive unrestricted funds transfer to Iran, the inspection terms, and most other aspects of the deal were revealed in advance by Israeli intelligence. Either they have excellent sources or they have fantastic predictive ability. The Obama White House completely denied this claim. The Times of Israel has an excellent summary article [ ‘GENEVA TALKS A FACADE, US-IRAN WORKED SECRETLY ON DEAL FOR PAST YEAR’ By STUART WINER, Times of Israel, November 17, 2013 https://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-and-us-held-secret-talks-for-over-a-year/]
Other key individuals who apparently were the messenger boys for the Iranian Islamic clerical regime were Ben Rhodes Jr and Adam Schiff. The New York Times carried a surprisingly complete article revealing , in Ben Rhodes’ own words ,the elaborate subterfuge that Rhodes organized to sell the Iranian nuclear deal to the American public by knowingly subverting various research organizations and then playing the US media as an echo chamber -his words.

2. Relating to the accusations concerning collusion with the Russiansby the Trump campaign, the Trump administration, and/ Donald Trump and Russian attempt to interfere with the 2016 presidential election certain observations are in order.
John Brennan was the key driver behind the US intelligence “efforts” to claim that Putin had personally directed the interference to favor Donald Trump. The membership of the intelligence committee that “determined" that Pres. Putin had directly ordered the intervention was personally selected by John Brennan and by James Comey. They were not the individuals who would normally undertake this evaluative operation. Also their “findings” were never reviewed and vetted as is standard in the intelligence community. [The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security issued the following joint statement: “The U.S. Intelligence Community is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from U.S. persons and institutions, including from U.S. political organizations,” agencies. “ . . These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process.” ---Obama administration publicly blames Russia for DNC hack http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/299874-obama-administration-publicly-blames-russia-for-dnc-hack]
It appears that Putin strongly preferred a Hillary Clinton victory in the election.[http://ltgjcmilopsg3.blogspot.com/2016/10/appears-that-favors-hillary-clinton-in.html}
(1) Putin is a cold-blooded. realist with an agenda to expand Russian influence to encompass all of the areas of the previous Soviet Union and to become a major player in the Middle East. It is Putin’s agenda that guides his actions.[ And, from Putin’s point of view Hillary Clinton would have been much more likely to help him complete his agenda than is Donald Trump.]
(2) Most important to Putin is the very favorable political and economic outcomes to Russia that would occur from Hillary Clinton’s expected actions relating to fracking.Thus, a major reason that he prefers Hillary Clinton is her position and likely future actions concerning Fracking.
Hillary Clinton would probably attempt to eliminate fracking (or if she could not eliminate it entirely she would drastically reduce fracking within the United States). She would accomplish this through limiting the areas for petroleum exploration; instituting rigorous regulations; requiring extensive environmental studies; moratoriums; etc.
This elimination or reduction of US petroleum production by restrictions on fracking would increase the world price for petroleum.
This increase would give Putin a vast increase in the value of Russia’s petroleum reserves [ thus rescuing the currently faltering Russian economy ]; it would greatly increase the value of Putin’s petroleum exports. This would give Putin additional hard currency to help finance his expansionist adventures. It would restore Russia’s previous political and economic lock on East Europe’s energy supplies.
(3). A second major reason that Putin probably favored Hillary Clinton in the election was Putin’s belief, [based on many years of observation of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry] that a Hillary Clinton administration would continue the parameters and trend lines established by Barack Obama .[ The Obama administration had pulled back in every confrontation with Putin’s Russia. Putin has seen this US pattern and has resolved to remain the first mover, not expecting much American pushback except in words.]
Numerous segments of the intelligence community, such as the head of Naval intelligence; the head of the Office of Net aNssessment, etc. not only did not buy into Brennon’s pronouncements, but they also raised extensive doubts and explicitly demurred from being counted as supporting the findings. Nevertheless, the media reported that The US intelligence community concurred.
We reported that Russian efforts were directed at creating social discord. Although it appears that Putin preferred Hillary Clinton they went after Hillary Clinton as the front runner. Then they also decided to mess up Donald Trump. While we evaluated the Russian efforts as a minimum in terms of financial expenditure and misguided in terms of reaching the American public with a believable message it now appears that as a result of the concerted efforts of John Brennan, Adam Schiff, etc. the Russian objective of creating social discord and screwing up the American presidential administration has succeeded beyond Pres. Putin’s wildest dreams.
3 .The Mueller reportis a prosecutor’s brief presenting the maximum and most forceful position that can possibly be established. The specifics of the contents were heavily influenced by Andrew Weissmann. Normally, such materials would be subject to review in court by a defense team who would mount a very active cross-examination of witnesses. It is difficult not to observe the similarity of this report and the “Russian dossier”. The FusionGPS/ Christopher Steele materials were first briefed to the White House, then the existence of these materials was leaked to the media . Then, the accusations in the dossier were presented to the public. Similar to the handling of the “Russian dossier”, the Mueller report appears intended to serve as an accusation reservoir from which selective leaks can be then made to the public.
Mueller’s report discusses what Mueller found in regards to a Russian government effort to interfere with the 2016 elections and his investigations into whether the Trump campaign colluded or conspired with the Russian government in their efforts.
The Mueller report states in a summary of its findings on collusion:“Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
US intelligence provided contrary opinions from which the Mueller investigators arbitrarily selected those viewpoints that paralleled their pre-existing biases.
It is recommended that the appropriate Senate committees subpoena Andrew Weissmann to testify and that they question him as to his selection of certain contending intelligence submissions and his rejection of other equally prominent intelligence submissions.
Mr. Weissmann led the task force investigating Enron more than a decade ago. Nearly all of his "convictions" were reversed for cause and he was publicly admonished for hisprosecutorial misconduct.
Weissmann specializes in flipping witnesses and he oversaw or took part in almost every early aspect of the special counsel’s investigation including Mr. Manafort’s prosecution. Thus, the negative connotations ,especially involving incidents which are presented in the report as possible obstructions of justice by Pres. Trump are heavily weighted by Mr. Weissmann’s influence. For example, while both FBI agents interviewing Gen. Michael Flynn, concluded and reported that Gen. Flynn was telling the truth, their hands-on, on the scene evaluation was overruled by senior members of the Mueller investigation
