# Top FBI Official Bill Priestap Turns On Comey – “He’s A Traitor”

February 11, 2018 Sean Adl-Tabatabai News, US 14

Assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division Bill Priestap has turned on former director James Comey, confirming that he is indeed a traitor to America.

According to House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence member Chris Stewart, Bill Priestap is fully cooperating with Trump’s justice department, ratting on his former ‘Deep State’ colleagues at the bureau, and exposing how they attempted to interfere in the 2016 Presidential election on behalf of Obama/Clinton.

Theconservativetreehouse.com reports: Listen carefully around 2:30, Judge Jeanine hits the bulls-eye; and listen to how Chris Stewart talks about not wanting to make news and is unsure what he can say on this…

Bill Priestap is cooperating.

When you understand how central E.W. “Bill” Priestap was to the entire 2016/2017 ‘Russian Conspiracy Operation‘, the absence of his name, amid all others, created a curiosity. I wrote a twitter thread about him last year and wrote about him extensively, because it seemed unfathomable his name has not been a part of any of the recent story-lines.

E.W. “Bill” Priestap is the head of the FBI Counterintelligence operation. He was FBI Agent Peter Strozk’s direct boss. If anyone in congress really wanted to know if the FBI paid for the Christopher Steele Dossier, Bill Priestap is the guy who would know everything about everything.

FBI Asst. Director in charge of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap was the immediate supervisor of FBI Counterintelligence Deputy Peter Strzok.

Bill Priestap is #1. Before getting demoted Peter Strzok was #2.

The investigation into candidate Donald Trump was a counterintelligence operation. That operation began in July 2016. Bill Priestap would have been in charge of that, along with all other, FBI counterintelligence operations.

FBI Deputy Peter Strzok was specifically in charge of the Trump counterintel op. However, Strzok would be reporting to Bill Priestap on every detail and couldn’t (according to structure anyway) make a move without Priestap approval.

On March 20th 2017 congressional testimony, James Comey was asked why the FBI Director did not inform congressional oversight about the counterintelligence operation that began in July 2016.

FBI Director Comey said he did not tell congressional oversight he was investigating presidential candidate Donald Trump because the Director of Counterintelligence suggested he not do so. *Very important detail.*

I cannot emphasize this enough. *VERY* important detail. Again, notice how Comey doesn’t use Priestap’s actual name, but refers to his position and title. Again, watch [Prompted]

FBI Director James Comey was caught entirely off guard by that first three minutes of that questioning. He simply didn’t anticipate it.

Oversight protocol requires the FBI Director to tell the congressional intelligence “Gang of Eight” of any counterintelligence operations. The Go8 has oversight into these ops at the highest level of classification. In July 2016 the time the operation began, oversight was the responsibility of this group, the Gang of Eight:

Obviously, based on what we have learned since March 2017, and what has surfaced recently, we can all see why the FBI would want to keep it hidden that they were running a counterintelligence operation against a presidential candidate. After all, as FBI Agent Peter Strzok said it in his text messages, it was an “insurance policy”.

REMINDER – FBI Agent Strzok to FBI Attorney Page:

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office that there’s no way he gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”

So there we have FBI Director James Comey telling congress on March 20th, 2017, that the reason he didn’t inform the statutory oversight “Gang of Eight” was because Bill Priestap (Director of Counterintelligence) recommended he didn’t do it.

Apparently, according to Comey, Bill Priestap carries a great deal of influence if he could get his boss to NOT perform a statutory obligation simply by recommending he doesn’t do it.

Then again, Comey’s blame-casting there is really called creating a “fall guy”. FBI Director James Comey was ducking responsibility in March 2017 by blaming FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap for not informing congress of the operation that began in July 2016. (9 months prior).

At that moment, that very specific moment during that March 20th hearing, anyone who watches these hearings closely could see FBI Director James Comey was attempting to create his own exit from being ensnared in the consequences from the wiretapping and surveillance operation of candidate Trump, President-elect Trump, and eventually President Donald Trump.

In essence, Bill Priestap was James Comey’s fall guy. We knew it at the time that Bill Priestap would likely see this the same way. The guy would have too much to lose by allowing James Comey to set him up.

Immediately there was motive for Bill Priestap to flip and become the primary source to reveal the hidden machinations. Why should he take the fall for the operation when there were multiple people around the upper-levels of leadership who carried out the operation.

Our suspicions were continually confirmed because there was NO MENTION of Bill Priestap in any future revelations of the scheme team, despite his centrality to all of it.

Bill Priestap would have needed to authorize Peter Strzok to engage with Christopher Steele over the “Russian Dosssier”; Bill Priestap would have needed to approve of the underlying investigative process used for both FISA applications (June 2016, and Oct 21st 2016). Bill Priestap would be the person to approve of arranging, paying, or reimbursing, Christopher Steele for the Russian Dossier used in their counterintelligence operation and subsequent FISA application.

Without Bill Priestap involved, approvals, etc. the entire Russian/Trump Counterintelligence operation just doesn’t happen. Heck, James Comey’s own March 20th testimony in that regard is concrete evidence of Priestap’s importance.

Everyone around Bill Priestap, above and below, were caught inside the investigative net.

Above him: James Comey, Andrew McCabe and James Baker. Below him: Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Jim Rybicki, Trisha Beth Anderson and Mike Kortan. Parallel to Priestap in main justice his peer John P Carlin resigned, Sally Yates fired, Mary McCord quit, Bruce Ohr was busted twice, and most recently Dave Laufman resigned. All of them caught in the investigative net…. Only Bill Priestap remained, quietly invisible – still in position.

The reason was obvious.

Likely Bill Priestap made the decision after James Comey’s testimony on March 20th, 2017, when he realized what was coming. Priestap is well-off financially; he has too much to lose. He and his wife, Sabina Menschel, live a comfortable life in a $3.8 million DC home; she comes from a family of money.

While ideologically Bill and Sabina are aligned with Clinton support, and their circle of family and friends likely lean toward more liberal friends; no-one in his position would willingly allow themselves to be the scape-goat for the unlawful action that was happening around them.

Bill Priestap had too much to lose… and for what?

With all of that in mind, there is essentially no-way the participating members inside the small group can escape their accountability with Mr. Bill Priestap cooperating with the investigative authorities.

Now it all makes sense. Devin Nunes interviewed Bill Priestap and Jim Rybicki prior to putting the memo process into place. Rybicki quit, Priestap went back to work.

Bill Priestap remains the Asst. FBI Director in charge of counterintelligence operations.

It’s over.

I don’t want to see this guy, or his family, compromised. This is probably the last I am ever going to write about him unless it’s in the media bloodstream. I can’t fathom the gauntlet of hatred and threats he is likely to face from the media and his former political social network if they recognize what’s going on. BP is Deep-Throat x infinity… nuf said.

The rest of this entire enterprise is just joyfully dragging out the timing of the investigative releases in order to inflict maximum political pain upon the party of those who will attempt to excuse the inexcusable.

Then comes the OIG Horowitz report.

Then the grand jury empaneled (if not already); and while Democrats attempt to win seats in the 2018 election, arrests and indictments will hit daily headlines.

Oh, lordy…

  The only problem we seem to have here is the AG doesn’t consider treason a crime

  - PatrickHenry2016

    Patience. It’s coming…the EO in December, Gitmo funding, all designed to inflict maximum political damage over the next few months. Daily perp walks all the way until November. The 2 yr budget deal was a ploy to set the stage for what’s coming.

    - Gary

      Don’t disagree but how does the 2 year deal figure in other than no need to go back to dems until 2020? Are you suggesting the Republicans keep the House and get to 60 in the Senate this year?

      - PatrickHenry2016

        Just a hypothesis, but I think it assures the dims can’t threaten to shut down the government every other month to save their own skins once the perp walks start.

        I’m assuring you that the R’s keep the House and Senate. Hopefully better Republicans like Nunes, for example. This is only the beginning of the tidal wave of pressure that will be built over the coming months. Justice will be served. It’s hard for those of us following this scandal to be patient but facts must be presently slowly and methodically for the general public to understand the level of corruption in government.

          National Enquirer has it on their cover this week. That’s progress! Saw it at the grocery store tonight.

      Obama had eight long years to stack the deck of the DOJ with his cronies. The last thing you want is for Sessions to take control of investigations with these guys in charge of them, ahem, ala Rod Rosenstein……

      Sessions needs time to drain the swamp first, and in the meantime, it makes much more sense to allow the three governing bodies — the OIG, the HIC, and SIC — to continue on with the investigations instead.

    THE MILITARY DOES, TAKES SESSIONS OUT OF THE PICTURE

  Russia hacked the election to support Trump, because they actually wanted Hillary to win. And that is why FBI was spying on Trump and creating garbage dossiers. Perfect logic.

- Gary

  I would agree…Sean Adl-Tabatabai has nailed it.

- William Roach

  It was just a matter of time someone started swilling. I hope the whole fucking thing falls on there heads

- Delilah

  I’ve been studying the timeline of the dossier in depth for quite a while now. Look what I found:

  Here’s my research so you can follow along and/or verify what I’m saying: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOdacaSPRccFxVTth38aXU8mWcxhk76lJuGrxYeJ7AU/edit?usp=sharing

  2016-09-26 NSD admits to FISC that surveillance included Obama’s political opponents
  2016-10-24 Mike Rogers apprises FISC of improper 702 About Queries
  Then the FISC opinion rakes the FBI over the coals in response to the Mike Rogers intervention: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JOdacaSPRccFxVTth38aXU8mWcxhk76lJuGrxYeJ7AU/edit#gid=1323539512

  I put this information out there just to prove that the FISA court had found the FBI to be misbehaving already in quite a few other ancillary matters in this same time period.

  Now, remember, the Steele dossier is composed of 15 memos: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html

  They span the dates of 6-20-2016 to 10-20-2016 (the December one doesn’t really count, because as Steele said, that was just something unsolicited, that was passed along to him later).

  Then what happens after the final memo is given to the FBI on 10-20-2016?
  2016-10-21 FISA Warrant issued on Trump servers
  2016-10-21 FISA warrant issued on Carter Page. FBI declares Carter Page to be a Russian spy

  To recap what we have so far, Steele creates the entire dossier, passes it along to the FBI, and then the FBI uses that dossier to obtain the warrants.

  What did the Nunes memo say? “Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information.” https://www.scribd.com/document/370603711/FISA-Memo-1

  The dossier was the only “evidence” the FBI used in obtaining the warrants. There was no other evidence.

  Hopefully you’re still with me… misbehaving FBI agents, the dossier created, FBI uses it in court as evidence, and it was the only evidence they ever submitted to the court.

  So then there were the renewals of the warrants that came due every 90 days. And the testimony has been that for every renewal, the FBI had to show the court new and improved information each time in order to keep the warrants going……

  So what did the FBI show the Court to keep the warrant going? They had already presented the court with the entire dossier at the beginning…..or did they?

  Or is it more likely that the FBI was piecemealing the Steele memos to the FISA court in order to keep the warrants open, aka withholding evidence in order to manipulate the court?

  The FBI could try to say that the reason why they held onto the other Steele memos is because they were “investigating” them, but as we already know, the FBI conducted no research to verify the Steele dossier. They just knew that the FISA court would never be able to find that out.
