THOUSANDS of pages of House Intel Committee transcripts show just how guilty Trump and his gang really are.
Get ready to grind. Demand justice. It starts and ends with YOU.

I've already torn apart Jared Kushner's 2017 HPSCI interview. Here's what's consistent across all these interviews: Trump's people don't realize they've committed MANY felonies. And so they confess them, willingly.

SIMONA MANGIANTE INTERVIEW, July 18, 2017.
This interview is way more important than I guessed - 222 pages of it! She gives away the whole game. Here's why this matters:
This interview is way more important than I guessed - 222 pages of it! She gives away the whole game. Here's why this matters:
The Mueller Investigation was another two weeks from getting its authorizations from the DOJ, but Rep. Adam Schiff and company (remember, Nunes had to recuse) were conducting interviews.
And the subjects gave up ENORMOUS amounts of info about the conspiracy.
And the subjects gave up ENORMOUS amounts of info about the conspiracy.
Within a few hours, Pelosi, Heck, Schiff, and Swalwell understand that Trump campaign staffer GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS was working at what was very likely a spy front in London to SET UP A MEETING BETWEEN TRUMP AND PUTIN.
Or any other foreign government.
Or any other foreign government.
Turns out, Mangiante claims to have worked at the same place in London as Papadopoulos, connected to Joseph MIFSUD - and they've recently gotten engaged.
The main theme of questioning is about this London institution that had a lot of people whose jobs included setting up meetings between political and business leaders and prominent Russians.
Mangiante apparently believes former Kremlin employee and Roger Stone ally Michael CAPUTO to be connected to the Trump campaign.
This part is wild: Swalwell asks where Mangiante is from. She says Caserta, which is a region just outside of Naples. Then she says was raised there, *then* Rome *and* Naples.
But Naples and Caserta would both be essentially the same metro area...

Hey, you guys ever move anywhere for work? I moved to Washington in 1999.
Any of you not able to narrow down when you moved to another *country?*

NO SERIOUSLY - HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED A COPY OF THEIR RESUME IN FRONT OF THEM TO REMEMBER WHEN THEY LIVED IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES?
(Aside from amateur spies with no decent training?)
(Aside from amateur spies with no decent training?)
And what Italian intern doesn't go on a classic St. Petersburg, Russia vacation? I ask you!
Note that "develop foreign contacts" is a pretty specific job responsibility...for a pretty specific job.
Enter the Maltese professor.
Mangiante is recommended to "apply" at the same place PAPADOPOULOS eventually works at while seeking to set up a meeting between TRUMP and PUTIN.
Even Simona Mangiante found Prof. Mifsud very dodgy - which is saying something.
Mifsud is just chillin' in Italy...TRAINING INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS.
As one does before befriending those working on U.S. political campaigns!
As one does before befriending those working on U.S. political campaigns!
So we're not saying Papadopoulos was hanging out with anyone matching THE EXACT PROFILE OF RUSSIAN SPIES, just a Dutch/Swiss lawyer married to a Russian princess (??) at a place that trains intelligence officers.
NORMAL STUFF!
NORMAL STUFF!
"My old boss, he trains spies. You know. But not me. I am not one!"
Yeah. We can kinda tell you didn't get the actual training.
Yeah. We can kinda tell you didn't get the actual training.
Mangiante thought, hey, now that you mention it, maybe Mifsud COULD be a Russian spy! Or whatevs.
"Were you a spy?"
"No."
"Ever get asked to exfiltrate non-public information from European Parliament to people you suspect are Russian spy handlers?"
"Yes, actually!"
Jesus, Mary, and Jehosephat.
"No."
"Ever get asked to exfiltrate non-public information from European Parliament to people you suspect are Russian spy handlers?"
"Yes, actually!"
Jesus, Mary, and Jehosephat.
CLEAN UP ON AISLE OPSEC
Yo European Parliament, you got some HR issues, yo!
Yo European Parliament, you got some HR issues, yo!
So Russian spies - just so we're clear.
George Papadopoulos shows up not long from now, and hilarity ensues.
George Papadopoulos shows up not long from now, and hilarity ensues.
And even if your young agent/assets know that you're running a spy front in London - YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT DOING IT RIGHT.
Just sayin'.
Just sayin'.
So Mangiante is hanging out in London with the spy front, not getting paid, and then George P starts working for the same place around the time he joins THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
So here it is: George Papadopoulos worked for the spy handlers while on the Trump Campaign. Standby for dates and more stupidity.
MARCH 2016: Just as Jeff Sessions and company are putting together the "foreign policy team" for Trump, setting up that thing at the Mayflower with the Russians, Papadopoulos rolls into London to work at the spy center.
AHHHH, so March 2016: George Papa is hangin' with the spy handler, meeting Putin's "niece" and talking about HILLARY'S EMAILS?
ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?
ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?
SCHIFF: Uh, so you're his almost-wife and you're telling us he was hanging with spies WHILE working on the Trump campaign?
MANGIANTE: Sure!
MANGIANTE: Sure!
MANGIANTE: (with syntax much more Borat than Sophia Loren) George wasn't *already* on the Trump foreign policy team officially, he was just *going to be officially named in a couple days* when he was MEETING WITH SPIES. The FBI thing was a kooky mixup!
SWALWELL: Let's make this even dumber - did you do any work on the Brexit thing?
MANGIANTE: Of course!
BECAUSE IT WASN'T KREMLINY ENOUGH!
MANGIANTE: Of course!
BECAUSE IT WASN'T KREMLINY ENOUGH!
BOOM: The spy handler instructed one of the Trump Campaign's employees to make as many Russian contacts as possible - TO ORGANIZE A MEETING BETWEEN TRUMP AND PUTIN.
So George was just working with foreign spies on hooking up Trump and Putin AND acquiring "Hillary's emails" while on the Trump Campaign.
I DON'T KNOW, SEEMS LIKE HOSTILE FOREIGN COLLUSION TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW, SEEMS LIKE HOSTILE FOREIGN COLLUSION TO ME.
Totally normal stuff: you're a young political operative in America and you want to impress the candidate. You've already opened a backchannel to EGYPT, naturally you want a backchannel to RUSSIA too!
Doesn't everyone do that?
Doesn't everyone do that?
SCHIFF: Just to be clear, both of these men were colluding their balls off with Russia?
MANGIANTE: It is correct!
MANGIANTE: It is correct!
How did George Papadopoulos end up on the Trump Campaign? He came over from BEN CARSON'S campaign.
(Ben Carson was also a Cambridge Analytica customer, incidentally.) https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/20/politics/cambridge-analytica-republican-ties/index.html
Look who's coordinating Papadopoulos for Trump but HOPE HICKS!
WHOOPS! BAD NEWS FOR BILL BARR'S BULLSHIT NARRATIVE!
Even Simona Mangiante says STEVE BANNON and MICHAEL FLYNN were in touch with George while he was making Russia contacts.
Even Simona Mangiante says STEVE BANNON and MICHAEL FLYNN were in touch with George while he was making Russia contacts.
George was also making operational contacts with Japanese and British government officials while working for Trump! Isn't that special!
Mangiante is emphatic - George Papadopoulos, hanging out with what appears to be a Russian spy front, is there to improve relations with Russia *during the campaign.*
They were so dumb, neither realized that this whole "spy backchannel" thing might be illegal.
SCHIFF: Just so I can understand the amount of my luck and the depth of your idiocy, you're saying explicitly George knew the campaign wanted the Putin backchannel?
MANGIANTE: Yay! Yes! Woo-hoo!
MANGIANTE: Yay! Yes! Woo-hoo!
And look, it's MICHAEL FLYNN again.
You know, completely innocent foreign agent moron spy handler Flynn. That asshole.
You know, completely innocent foreign agent moron spy handler Flynn. That asshole.
BREAK TIME! Up next, former DNI JIM CLAPPER. But first, to recap:
- The Trump Campaign sent George Papadopoulos to Europe to make operational contacts through a foreign intelligence officer
- Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon were his contacts from Trump
- The Trump Campaign sent George Papadopoulos to Europe to make operational contacts through a foreign intelligence officer

SCHIFF: Director Clapper, THESE HAVE BEEN THE LONGEST SIX MONTHS OF MY LIFE SINCE YOU LEFT also let's get your view on the traitors!
SCHIFF: My idiot colleague, Rooney, thinks we're here to criticize how many staplers you went through at ODNI, when in fact we're going to tell America about traitors.
Oh, and also about that goddamn June 9 meeting with the Russkis, remember that shit?

WENSTRUP: Hi Jim! I did one tour as a combat surgeon in Iraq! You started flying spy planes for JFK! We're samesies!
WENSTRUP: So, colleague, why didn't you do more about the Russian hacking?
CLAPPER: You're on the f**king House Intel Committee. You should know we don't "do" things, we assess situations so YOU do things. What was your question?
CLAPPER: You're on the f**king House Intel Committee. You should know we don't "do" things, we assess situations so YOU do things. What was your question?
WENSTRUP: Why didn't you write an intel report predicting all the things that happened in 2016? It kind of sounds like your fault...
CLAPPER: Um. We covered it a lot, you asshole.
CLAPPER: Um. We covered it a lot, you asshole.
WENSTRUP: Why didn't you do a crystal ball forecasting intelligence thing?
CLAPPER: I don't know. We're lazy. We forgot our Magic Fucking 8 Ball. Meanwhile, we worked our asses off and produced intel products and then moved heaven and earth for six straight weeks.

WENSTRUP: I don't get it. Why didn't you order a full intel thingee on the future?
CLAPPER: Well. I'm not sure how much fucking louder you want us to yell and not appear to be a fucking SuperPAC and like the Neo-Stasi. Either way, we did a whole lot on your party's treason.

(the red part was redacted, but I treated it like MadLibs and took a guess)
WENSTRUP: Why shouldn't the CIA enter the race for a candidate?
CLAPPER: I don't know. When Obama wore a tan suit you told Americans he was selling the U.S. to ISIS. He was worried you'd take it the wrong way.
WENSTRUP: That's just like your opinion.
CLAPPER: *stares darts*

WENSTRUP: But you can't prove it.
CLAPPER: Wha?
WENSTRUP: Well, if he didn't change literal vote totals, it's no big deal.
CLAPPER: Oh. It wasn't fucked up and Kremliny enough for you? OK.
WENSTRUP: Jeez, like that matters.
CLAPPER: Some of us think so, dick.

CLAPPER: Some of us think so, dick.
WENSTRUP: Until voters start speaking Russian, I'm not convinced.
CLAPPER: That is clear, moron.
CLAPPER: That is clear, moron.
WENSTRUP: So basically, the Intelligence Community Deep State is only sore because TRUMP won. MAGA!!!!
CLAPPER: No. It was more that Russia has attacked our elections for decades, and this time it was an all-out assault with help from traitors. That was the theme for us.
CLAPPER: No. It was more that Russia has attacked our elections for decades, and this time it was an all-out assault with help from traitors. That was the theme for us.
WENSTRUP: You guys were somewhat calm before he won though. Then you were all butthurt.
CLAPPER: Yeah.
(Red = guesses)
CLAPPER: Yeah.
(Red = guesses)
WENSTRUP: So the Russians didn't care about one political party or another, they just wanted to attack us! Ha!
CLAPPER: Yes. For 100 years now. Look at you go.
CLAPPER: Yes. For 100 years now. Look at you go.
WENSTRUP: But on Dec 5, 2016 you didn't REALLY know if they wanted Trump to win.
CLAPPER: We were still collecting and analyzing intel. We got some killer sources a bit later. Then we knew.
CLAPPER: We were still collecting and analyzing intel. We got some killer sources a bit later. Then we knew.
WENSTRUP: WHY WASN'T YOUR INTELLIGENCE PERFECT IN ADVANCE?
CLAPPER: oh fuck off
WENSTRUP: SEE YOU DON'T KNOW THINGS AND STUFF
CLAPPER:
CLAPPER: oh fuck off
WENSTRUP: SEE YOU DON'T KNOW THINGS AND STUFF
CLAPPER:
WENSTRUP: Well, it's our job to tell you how to intelligence better.
CLAPPER: Yes. You're a podiatrist and I was piloting intelligence missions when you were 4. I can't wait.
CLAPPER: Yes. You're a podiatrist and I was piloting intelligence missions when you were 4. I can't wait.
(EG Note: this was Clapper's military CV when he retired in 1995 before going back to the USIC.)
CLAPPER: Well, in an emergency we want to go as fast as we can while also knowing that people might use our products to decide where to put nukes. So it's a balance.
WENSTRUP: Well, *I* would be both fast AND perfect in your job.
CLAPPER:
