Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland Organized Wire Recording Surveillance of Gavin Newsom in June of 2024


You may have read the article from the New York Post about the FBI enlisting a close insider to California Governor Gavin Newsom to wear a wire and record conversations within Newsom’s circle.  However, did you overlay the timeline?

Remember, there is no possibility this FBI wired surveillance of Gavin Newsom would take place without the DOJ being completely aware of the operation.  The person in the DOJ who would be responsible for both authorizing the operation and conducting the surveillance would have been Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.

A sensitive FBI operation carrying this political consequence would never take place without the Deputy AG and Attorney General himself being aware.  The timeline also tells a story.

According to The Post the wire surveillance was taking place as early as June 2024.  This matters because Joe Biden officially withdrew from the seeking the Democrat nomination for President on July 21st, 2024.

Newsom was under political surveillance prior to Biden’s withdrawal.  This puts context on the plan to replace Biden with then VP Kamala Harris.

What does then Deputy AG Lisa Monaco and then VP Kamala Harris have in common? They were both key figures within the Barack Obama operation.

Lisa Monaco was Obama’s legal shield; Kamala Harris was hand selected for the VP position in 2020 by Barack Obama and James Clyburn.

The stories of the positioning and pressure for Joe Biden to withdraw are well documented.  The insider operation was so transparent that many of us called it out long before Biden was replaced with Kamala Harris.

At the time many people suspected that Gavin Newsom would be the only challenger to Kamala Harris if Biden were to withdraw with sufficient time before the DNC nomination, in Chicago – Obama’s hometown and center of his political apparatus; the same apparatus that previously pushed Kamala Harris into position.

What the story actually shows is how the FBI was weaponized by the Obama ideologues within Main Justice to structure a mechanism to stop any Newsom challenge to Harris.  Unfortunately, it appears no one is noticing that aspect.

New York Post […] The revelation [Alexis Podesta] was wearing a wire as far back as June 2024 explains why a swath of Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them that their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation — despite many having little or no connection to Williamson.

“Alexis wore a wire, and Dana did not,” said McGregor Scott, Williamson’s lawyer and a former US attorney for the Eastern District of California, which is now investigating the Newsoms. (read more)

Ask Lisa Monaco about it.  What’s she going to say?….  That the FBI was running a rogue operation against California Governor Gavin Newsom and Main Justice knew nothing about it?  lol Good luck with that.


Acting DNI Bill Pulte Fires Dozens of ODNI Staff for Politicizing Intelligence, Insubordination, Gross Misconduct


The funniest part of the MSNBC report about the issue is their claim that Pulte has not been in office long enough to know who the Deep State embeds are. “I have a real question of how he would know this. This isn’t a guy who is familiar with intelligence,” said the former official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing concerns about retaliation. “How is he going to get to the bottom of this and rely on any information with a matter of fidelity? It would be like me taking over a hospital and firing dozens of surgeons in a matter of days.” {source}

How could Pulte possibly know who to fire, they lament.  The likelihood of former DNI Tulsi Gabbard and current CIA Director John Ratcliffe coordinating with ADNI Bill Pulte to clean house, just isn’t something all these former intelligence officials can fathom.

These silos are supposed to work independently to protect themselves, they likely think.  The system is designed to keep each agency from coordinating action against the lower-level operatives, especially the liaison offices inside the ODNI.  Bill Pulte is doing something they are just not prepared for.

It’s a little funny when you think about it.  However, there were people in the comments section on CTH yesterday who were perplexed about Tulsi Gabbard visiting Washington DC to give a speech specifically about this issue.  Perhaps people will realize there is considerable coordination and transferring of information as this transition is underway.

[…] Both former officials noted that Pulte’s office itself does not collect intelligence. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence receives it from the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and 15 other agencies. He said that CIA Director John Ratcliffe, for example, would know of such a problem.

“If there really was any serious withholding of information, the guy who would know this is Ratcliffe,” said one of the former officials. “He is in the inner circle. He and his analysts would be the first ones to know. If anyone would know about that alleged claim, it would be him.”

DUH!

A spokesperson for the CIA did not immediately respond to MS NOW’s request for comment.

A third former senior intelligence official dismissed the idea that intelligence officials would ever engage in such conduct.

“The intelligence community is comprised of committed professionals,” the former official said. “This is a fantasy. It only hurts U.S. national security, and it’s helpful to Russia, China and Iran.” (read more)

Speaking on a Defending Democracy podcast with her lawyer Marc Elias, Hillary Clinton said Wednesday, “I mean, I hope there are career and even political appointees, in various of the agencies, that are slow-walking or refusing to share information with Pulte.”  Yet, here is MSNBC saying the withholding of intelligence never happens. Go figure.

WASHINGTON – […] Pulte, whom President Donald Trump tapped as acting spy chief in June, sent out notices of termination on Thursday to dozens of intelligence officials, MS Now reported, citing an intelligence official who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

The intelligence official told MS Now that the Trump administration was removing officials “who they believe are deep state” and who have allegedly failed to provide complete pictures of available intelligence. (MORE)
