Whatever Happened to...?

What ever happened to former Detective Rod Wheeler?

Remember him? He was the guy looking into the murder of Seth Rich, the DNC staffer, whose death remains a mystery to this very day.

The article below details a lot of the goings on in the aftermath of Mr. Rich’s killing:

Now contrast the info in the above article with what the Durham investigation and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have uncovered. In testimony before the committee, Shawn Henry, President of cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike, had to admit that his firm could not conclusively say that the Russians had hacked the DNC systems. He could only surmise that the data on their servers had been exfiltrated. The Durham team discovered that Marc Elias, a former partner at Perkins Coie, had been one of the architects behind the Russian hacking story. A story we now know to be false.

 

The article below details what had been ongoing negotiations between Julian Assange (Wikileaks) and the U.S. Government, up until the point that then FBI director James Comey put the brakes on things. Besides being in possession of some incredibly sensitive information on CIA programs, Assange was willing to help the feds rule out who hadn’t turned over the info from the DNC servers.

Given what we now know about “dirty cop Comey”, is it any surprise that this whole narrative would have fallen apart if Assange’s cooperation could have ruled out the Russians, or any other state actor for that matter, as being his source. Clinton and Obama Inc would have been left high and dry on a crucial portion of a narrative designed to make Donald Trump look like he was in bed with the Russians.

 

When the below story broke, there were those cybersecurity experts who claimed that it was flawed or full of holes. But given what we now know, and what will most certainly follow about this false Russian collusion narrative, wouldn’t it make sense to delve back into the death of Seth Rich?

As an afterthought, Congress, once firmly back in the hands of the Republicans, may also want to reopen the curious case of the Awan brothers and their ties to House Democrats. Specifically, whether they may have been involved in the liberation of information from the DNC servers, given the unfettered access they once enjoyed in the cyber halls of Congress.

There are an awful lot of beasts out there, whose hearts the Republicans could put stakes through once and for all, should they choose to do so. The Rich case is one such creature.

 

 

What ever happened to Adam Lovinger?

If you don’t know who he is, he was a DOD employee who initially questioned generous financial outlays from the department’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA) to a contractor named Stefan Halper. Rather than get into all of the details about what happened, the article linked here, is about as good as it gets in terms of filling in the back story (please read before continuing). If there is another name in the linked article that sounds familiar, it should. It is the same James Baker who was recently let go from Twitter as the Deputy General Counsel.

After his stint as ONA Director, Mr. Baker eventually wound up at the FBI as the Bureau’s General Counsel. It was there that he helped to propagate the Steele dossier that was essential to the FBI being able to run a surveillance operation on candidate Trump, and then use the salacious and unverified information contained within said dossier as a potential weapon to try and blackmail the President elect.

Upon his dismissal from The Bureau, Baker landed his job at Twitter as Deputy General Counsel. It was in his capacity as a decision maker that he recommended running with the story that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, despite his own admonition that they had yet to substantiate whether the laptop was the real McCoy. His downfall came when it was discovered by his employer, Elon Musk, that he was scrubbing information being released about Twitter’s efforts at censorship, not only of the laptop story, but with anything that the FBI and the political establishment found disagreeable.

Based on what has been released so far by Mr. Musk, the link to the Lovinger ONA story, and an interview of Mr. Baker conducted by a joint session of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees on October 3rd of 2018, we can draw several logical conclusions:

  • 1.       Baker was a central figure in the dissemination of the dossier and a source of leaks to the media as determined by Special Prosecutor John Durham early on in his investigation.

  • 2.       Baker was most likely a conduit between the FBI and Stefan Halper during his stint at ONA.

  • 3.       Lovinger had stumbled onto something he wasn’t supposed to and paid a hefty price for it, courtesy of Mr. Baker and his cronies.

Rather than treat the ONA story as a separate category, it deserves more scrutiny, given Mr. Baker’s centrality to:

  • 1.       The Steele dossier.

  • 2.       The suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

  • 3.       The slow rolling and possible deletion of information related to government collusion in the shadow banning of conservatives or anyone with a view that ran contrary to accepted narratives.

  • 4.       And quite possibly, things that have yet to be discovered.

Baker’s presence or links to these events is more than coincidence and needs to be treated as part of a bigger picture regarding corruption at the highest levels of the alphabet soup agencies of our national security establishment.
