James Baker’s Bonanza Of Crime: General McInerney Calls For Former CIA Contractor Dennis Montgomery To Testify Under Oath Before Congress

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | February 10, 2023

U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney (Ret.) is calling for CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery to testify before U.S. congress, while under oath, about HAMMER, SCORECARD, and former FBI General Counsel James Baker.

Baker was a key player in the hoax Trump Russian collusion operation, alongside FBI Director James Comey, FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok, FBI attorney Lisa Page, and attorney Michael Sussmann.

Sussmann was a partner at Perkins Coie, the Seattle law firm hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and by the DNC.

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives investigated DOJ documents showing that Baker, during the run up to the 2016 presidential election, was in touch with Mother Jones reporter David Corn, the first journalist to write about the existence of Steele Dossier. Predictably, “Corn denied that Baker was a source for his story on the dossier,” Politico reported.

Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, husband of Mary Jacoby (previously of the Rose Law Firm, the same Little Rock, Arkansas practice that employed Hillary Clinton), helped Baker, Comey, Strzok, and Page orchestrate the Russian Collusion operation to take down President Trump in a failed attempted coup.

The American Report previously reported in a January 2, 2019 article titled “Coup D’état: DOJ, FBI Officials On Mueller’s Russia Team In Cover Up Of Mueller’s, Clapper’s, And Brennan’s Surveillance ‘HAMMER’ That Spied On Trump, Strzok-Page Text Shows”:

Senior FBI and DOJ officials involved in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russian collusion investigation were also previously assigned to investigate whistleblower Dennis Montgomery’s claim that Obama administration officials John Brennan and James Clapper spied on Donald Trump.

Montgomery asserts that the FBI, under FBI Director Mueller, supplied the computers used to create a private, illegal, unconstitutional, super surveillance system that President Obama’s intelligence chiefs used to spy on Trump. 

FBI Director James B. Comey, FBI General Counsel James A. Baker, and five of Mueller’s hand-picked recruits to his Russian collusion investigation team, including Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, were involved in the “buried” FBI investigation into CIA/DNI/NSA whistleblower Dennis L. Montgomery’s claims.

Montgomery specifically alleges that President Obama’s intelligence chiefs, CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, with computers supplied by Robert Mueller, used their newly-created illegal surveillance system to spy on Trump, Trump’s associates, Supreme Court justices, and millions of innocent Americans.

Hours After General McInerney Read Over America’s Radio Airwaves The American Report’s March 17, 2017 Exposé About Montgomery And THE HAMMER, Baker’s Fellow FBI Trump Russian Collusion Hoaxsters Strzok And Page Exchanged A Text Message That Specifically Referred To Montgomery   

On Sunday, March 19, 2017, Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons and General McInerney brought to America’s terrestrial radio airwaves the American Report’s March 17, 2017 exposé “Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped ‘A Zillion Times’ By ]THE HAMMER,’ Brennan’s and Clapper’s Secret Computer System.” General McInerney read The American Report article verbatim on air.

Within hours of General McInerney launching over the airwaves The American Report’s exposé about Dennis Montgomery and THE HAMMER, Strzok and Page exchanged a text message that specifically mentioned Montgomery:

“I’m not going to respond to the whole group. The Klayman/Montgomery stuff in the email Jim just sent is utter BS. Best to say nothing and brief later if necessary.” – March 19, 2017 Strzok/Page text message sent hours after Lt. General Thomas McInerney went on air to discuss Brennan’s and Clapper’s secret surveillance system “The Hammer”

Baker, after leaving the FBI and joining the Brookings Institution, became Twitter’s deputy general counsel. Baker was eventually “exited” from the social media giant by new Twitter CEO Elon Musk in the wake of the Twitter Files scandal.

Strzok was never questioned under oath by Members of Congress about the text message he exchanged with Lisa Page that referenced Montgomery.

While Baker Was Censoring Content At Twitter, The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) Forwarded To Twitter Executives The American Report’s October 31, 2020 Exposé “Biden Using SCORECARD And THE HAMMER To Steal Another U.S. Presidential Election — Just Like Obama And Biden Did In 2012” 

According to“Twitter Files” drop 8 by reporter Matt Taibbi, “THREAD: The Twitter Files TWITTER AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.”The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) forwarded to Twitter executives The American Report’s October 31, 2020 exposé “Biden Using SCORECARD And THE HAMMER To Steal Another U.S. Presidential Election — Just Like Obama And Biden Did In 2012.”

 

In the immediate wake of Taibbi’s disclosure that the FBI and Twitter censored The American Report’s HAMMER and SCORECARD reporting, a Twitter Spaces live conversation amongst Twitter influencers, including internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, ensued.

“If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it. I mean, why else would they want to censor something that looks conspiratorial? … I’m going to do some reading about THE HAMMER,” Kim Dotcom stated during the Twitter Spaces conversation.

“FBI Director James Comey demanded that the FBI be given the source code to SCORECARD, the election-hacking application that operates on THE HAMMER surveillance supercomputer platform, as a condition of  CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis L. Montgomery’s 2015 FBI and DOJ immunity agreements, according to Montgomery,” The American Report previously reported.

Montgomery claims that he implanted a unique digital signature within the SCORECARD source code, that the same source code embedded with the unique digital signature subsequently emerged in China, and that China used SCORECARD in a cyberwarfare attack on the 2020 U.S. election.

Baker Claimed “Attorney-Client Privilege,” Refused To Answer Questions During February 8, 2023 House Oversight And Accountability Committee Hearing Into Twitter’s Censorship Of Hunter Biden Laptop Story

Baker, testifying under oath before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Wednesday, February 8, 2023 about Twitter blocking access to an October 2020 “New York Post” article about Hunter Biden’s so-called “laptop from hell,” said during his opening statement that “As the committee is aware, however, based on the advice of counsel, I believe in good faith that I am constrained today by my legal and ethical obligations as a former lawyer for Twitter, as well as by certain nondisclosure agreements.”

Later into the hearing, Baker responded to a question from U.S. Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) by stating “Unfortunately, sir, I think I’m constrained from answering that question any more fully than in my testimony because of attorney-client privilege.”

Representative Jordan is well aware that James Baker possesses extensive first-hand knowledge about Dennis Montgomery’s claims that the U.S. government engaged in illegal domestic surveillance. Jordan also knows that Baker dispatched FBI special agents to the FBI Miami Field Office to take possession of 47 computer hard drives because James Baker testified before Representative Jordan while under oath that he was in receipt of testimony and data from Dennis Montgomery that “government officials had other government officials and Americans under illegal surveillance.”

The February 8, 2023 Twitter hearing was a perfect opportunity for Representative Jordan to ask Baker, under oath, about THE HAMMER, Dennis Montgomery, and Twitter’s suppression of The American Report’s October 31, 2020 article about HAMMER and SCORECARD. Yet, Jordan failed to seize on this rare opportunity to interrogate Baker about Montgomery and THE HAMMER on live television.

The American Report previously reported in a May 29, 2019 article titled “HAMMERTIME: Baker Buried Whistleblower Montgomery’s Trump no Surveillance Evidence Then Suddenly “Remembered” FBI Had It”:

Former FBI counsel Baker, who was interviewed by a joint committee of the U.S. House of Representatives just weeks before the 2018 midterm election, stated during day one of his interview, conducted on October 3, 2018, that the FBI and the DOJ did not “infiltrate or surveil” the Trump campaign for “political purposes.”

Baker simultaneously denied on day one that Obama administration officials made “demands or requests” of the FBI and the DOJ to “infiltrate or surveil” the Trump campaign.

At the beginning of  Baker’s day two testimony, conducted on October 18, 2018, Baker interrupted Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) stating he wanted to amend the record of his day one testimony, thereby sidestepping a potential perjury charge.

Between day one of his interview two weeks earlier and day two,  Baker suddenly “remembered” that U.S. government contractor Dennis Montgomery had turned over to the FBI evidence in 2015 in the form of digital storage devices that, Montgomery asserted, proved that the U.S. government illegally surveilled American citizens and government officials.

Baker either lied or misspoke about which year Montgomery turned over evidence to the FBI, when he told the joint committee that Montgomery provided the evidence to the FBI in 2016, when in fact Montgomery had turned over the evidence in 2015, one full year earlier, before the 2016 presidential election.

Baker carefully stated: “To the best of my recollection, it’s in the late summer, early fall 2016.”  Baker misstated the year the FBI took possession of Montgomery’s evidence during day two of his interview. By carefully reciting that it was to the “best of his recollection” Baker neatly sidestepped a potential perjury charge.

Baker’s two-day interview, carried out on October 3 and October 18, 2018, was “part of a joint investigation by the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform into decisions made and not made by the DOJ and the FBI regarding the 2016 Presidential election.”

Former FBI General Counsel James A. Baker buried evidence provided to his office in 2015 by CIA/NSA whistleblower Dennis Montgomery. Montgomery turned over 47 hard drives of evidence of domestic surveillance that prove the Obama administration illegally surveilled innocent Americans including Donald Trump for years.

The  FBI first granted limited immunity in August 2015, and then greater immunity in December of 2015 once Montgomery’s domestic surveillance information had been verified.

FBI General Counsel James Baker himself and DOJ Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Curtis struck Montgomery’s limited immunity agreements and then his greater immunity agreement, once the FBI had verified Montgomery’s information.

Baker was intimately involved in Montgomery’s whistleblower case…

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:  DAY TWO OF JAMES BAKER’S INTERVIEW BEFORE MEMBERS OF THE U.S. REPRESENTATIVES, OCTOBER 18, 2018

Mr. Baker. So I recalled after — just actually a few days ago — that another incident when a — this time an attorney on behalf of a client came to me and wanted — came specifically to me and wanted to make information available to the FBI in the form of electronic media that he wanted to get into the —

Mr. Jordan. Different case or same case?

Mr. Baker. Different case.

Mr. Jordan. Okay.

Mr. Baker. Well, a completely different case. Different attorney, different client, but insistent on meeting only with me or the Director. And then he did not have the material with him at the time. We had to actually dispatch FBI agents to go to a — from a field office to go collect this material. It was in the — to the best of my recollection, it was roughly in the late summer, fall of 2016 timeframe.

Mr. Jordan. Can you tell us the case?

Mr. Baker. It was Larry —

Mr. [REDACTED]  Mr. Baker, please do answer the question, but if it’s in a — if it’s a matter that’s totally unrelated to what’s being discussed here, I’d ask you not to discuss any specific investigative details. Can you answer the question?

Mr. Baker. Can I give the name of the attorney?

Mr. [REDACTED] The name of the — absolutely. Yes, sir.

Mr. Baker. Okay. The name of the attorney was Larry Klayman, and he also brought one of his associates with him whose name I don’t recall at this point in time, and it was on behalf of a particular client. Anyway, that’s what I recalled. And we were talking about that last time, and I did not remember that incident. Now I do.

Mr. Jordan. Okay. Thank you. Let’s go back to Mr. McCabe, Ms. Page, and —

Mr. Breitenbach. I’m sorry, Mr. Jordan. Can I just follow up?

Mr. Jordan. Sure.

Mr. Breitenbach. With regard to Mr. Klayman coming to visit you, was it with regard at all to surveillance concerns that he had concerning the general fact pattern that we’re here to discuss today?

Mr. Baker. Well, it had to do with surveillance. It had to do with an allegation about unlawful surveillance, but it was — I believe it was different from any fact pattern that we talked about last time here.

Mr. Breitenbach. Unlawful surveillance of whom?

Mr. Baker. Of Americans, including government officials. Yeah. I can go — I mean —

Mr. Jordan. Who was his client?

Mr. Baker. Can I just — I’m turning to the Bureau to describe this. So his client was an individual named Dennis Montgomery, who I believe, to the best of my recollection, he said that he had been a U.S. Government contractor and, in the course of that work, had come across evidence of unlawful surveillance by the government of Americans — and including government officials — and wanted to give that information to the Bureau, which eventually did take place.

Mr. Jordan. And was this — I’m sorry. Go ahead.

Mr. Sommers. During what time period?

Mr. Jordan. Yeah. That’s what I was going to ask.

Mr. Baker. To the best of my recollection, it’s in the late summer, early fall 2016.

Mr. Sommers. And the surveillance, what time period was that?

Mr. Baker. I’m not entirely sure what the timeframe was. It was a significant — it was — one of the issues in the case was it was a large amount of data that he had that he wanted to provide, that these — these disks or other media had a lot of data on them about this, allegedly.

Mr. Sommers. Surveillance by whom?

Mr. Baker. By the U.S. Government itself of Americans, unlawfully.

Mr. Jordan. Interesting. All right. Thank you. All right. Let’s go back to the McCabe-Page-Rosenstein meeting. When did you talk to Lisa Page and Andy McCabe about the meeting they had with Mr. Rosenstein?

US District Judge Richard Leon: ICIG Took Custody Of Montgomery Hard Drives And Testimony 

The American Report also previously reported in a December 18, 2020 article titled “STEALING AMERICA: ‘Former’ Communist Comey Got SCORECARD Election Hacking Source Code And Knew SolarWinds Was Not Secure: US District Court Judge Richard Leon Confirmed That ICIG Had Possession Of Montgomery’s Recorded Testimony And Hard Drives”:

According to a March 3, 2018 opinion by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon in the case DENNIS MONTGOMERY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. JAMES COMEY, Defendants:

At the status conference in this case, counsel for the Government defendants represented to this Court that the “hard drives are in a secure facility with the [I]ntelligence [C]ommunity’s Office of Inspector General” and that there was “no risk” that they were “going to be destroyed anytime soon”…

…Plaintiffs’ primary argument on this point is that, without preservation of the hard drives and the interview tapes, they “will lose the material evidence in this case.” Pls.’ Mot. 18. But as I have already explained, the Government has represented to this Court that there is a litigation hold preventing the destruction of either the hard drives or the interview tapes.

The Intelligence Community Inspector General from 2010 to 2018 was former FBI agent Irvin Charles “Chuck” McCullough III. McCullough, in that role, reported directly to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. McCullough was also previously employed by the NSA Inspector General’s office.

“I enjoyed a very good relationship with Jim Clapper. We got along famously” McCullough told The Hill during a December 2018 interview. McCullough initially handled the Hillary Clinton email case before he handed it over to the FBI, where the case was handled by Peter Strzok.

This is the same James Clapper whom Montgomery claims illegally commandeered THE HAMMER, with John Brennan, and turned it against Barack Obama’s political enemies and the American people.

Maria Bartiromo, on the December 11, 2022 broadcast of her FOX News program Sunday Morning Futures, asked former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe about James Baker’s transition from FBI general counsel to Twitter deputy general counsel:

Jim Baker is someone you followed closely when he was the general counsel at the FBI. Walk us through what Jim Baker has been doing, and is it any coincidence at all after pushing his Russia collusion lie he gets the top general counsel job, or the deputy general counsel job, at Twitter, after being pushed out of the FBI?

Ratcliffe replied, “Well, I don’t think that’s a coincidence at all…I don’t think that Twitter just happened to, you know, find his resume on Monster.com.”

According to a January 17, 2021 report from The Epoch Times, subsequently covered by The Federalist Papers:

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe assessed that China interfered in the 2020 federal elections, according to a letter transmitted to Congress.

In the letter (pdf), Ratcliffe alleges that intelligence about China’s election interference was suppressed by management at the CIA, which pressured analysts to withdraw their support for the view.

Does James Baker really have the right to claim attorney-client privilege while testifying under oath before Congress, after exploiting his position as deputy general counsel at Twitter to act as a deity? To destroy evidence?  To give orders to violate the U. S. Constitution?  To censor American citizens?  To censure journalists? Who does James Baker think he is?  And who exactly is James Baker?

TWITTER DROP 8: Baker Scandal Deepens; FBI FITF / Twitter Censored HAMMER / SCORECARD Exposé Published By The American Report Days Before 2020 Election; FITF Works With CIA

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | The American Report | December 31, 2022

Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter Inc., revealed via journalist Matt Taibbi on December 24, 2022 that the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) forwarded The American Report’s exposé on HAMMER and SCORECARD, published three days before the 2020 U.S. election, to Twitter executives, to have the article censored and shadowbanned.

Following Taibbi’s exposure that the FBI and Twitter censored The American Report’s HAMMER and SCORECARD reporting, a conversation among Twitter influencers, including Kim Dotcom, ensued during a December 24, 2022 Twitter Spaces conversation.

“If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it. I mean, why else would they want to censor something that looks conspiratorial? … I’m going to do some reading about THE HAMMER,” Kim Dotcom stated during the Twitter Spaces conversation.

The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) forwarded to Twitter executives The American Report’s October 31, 2020 exposé “Biden Using SCORECARD And THE HAMMER To Steal Another U.S. Presidential Election — Just Like Obama And Biden Did In 2012,” according to the December 24, 2022 “Twitter Files” drop by reporter Matt Taibbi, “THREAD: The Twitter Files TWITTER AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.”

The American Report’s October 31, 2020 article presented exclusive reporting regarding THE HAMMER, SCORECARD, and CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery.

During A December 24, 2022 Twitter Spaces LIVE Conversation Following Taibbi’s Twitter Files Drop, Kim Dotcom Reacted To The Discovery That The FBI And Twitter, Working With The CIA, Censored The American Report’s Exposure Of HAMMER And SCORECARD: “If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it.

Twitter Inc. CEO Elon Musk, Matt Taibbi, Kim Dotcom

Musk and Taibbi’s exposure of covert efforts by the U.S. government’s FBI, which unlawfully and unconstitutionally co-conspired with CIA officials inside the FITF (,Foreign Influence Task Force) to censor The American Report’s exclusive HAMMER and SCORECARD reporting, prompted Kim Dotcom, founder of New Zealand’s Internet Party, to comment “If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it. I mean, why else would they want to censor something that looks conspiratorial? …I’m going to do some reading about THE HAMMER.”

On December 24, 2022, a virtual symposium of social media influencers methodically read through the December 24, 2022 “Twitter Files” drop by reporter Matt Taibbi, “THREAD: The Twitter Files TWITTER AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

Cheong read Taibbi’s tweet #30 aloud to the group:

It seemed to strike no one as strange that a “Foreign Influence” task force was forwarding thousands of mostly domestic reports, along with the DHS, about the fringiest material.

Cheong went on to read the title and a few opening words from The American Report’s October 31, 2020 exposé  “Biden Using SCORECARD And THE HAMMER To Steal Another U.S. Presidential Election — Just Like Obama And Biden Did In 2012,”

The reaction from members of the group to Taibbi’s tweet #30 and The American Report HAMMER and SCORECARD article was quite interesting.

KIM DOTCOM:

“You know what the funny thing is about this? If the U.S. government wants this to be removed there’s probably some truth to it. I mean, why else would they want to censor something that looks conspiratorial?”

IAN MILES CHEONG:

“Good stuff. Now everyone needs to look up HAMMER and SCORECARD. What the hell is that? Curious? I’ll bet it’s on Rumble somewhere, you know, or, or, or, what’s the other site, Bitchute. Yeah, I bet somebody did a video on it.

JIM PFAFF:

I’m looking it up. But, there was a General McInerney right after the election who was speaking to stuff like this related to Dominion. I could never validate that there was any truth from it. But he was a three-star general in the United States Army [United States Air Force] and was making claims to this. I’m looking it up now and maybe as we’re talking about it later we can flush it out. But there was some discussion on this…

IAN MILES CHEONG:

Right. Yeah. And why would they want that suppressed? Hmm. Makes you think. Makes you think.

KIM DOTCOM:

I’m going to do some reading about THE HAMMER.

IAN MILES CHEONG:

Right. yeah. I mean the site is probably just bullshit, but there’s probably something to it as well, right? Like, why else would they be concerned with this? Hmm. Very strange why they would want to ban this.

 

“The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA,” Taibbi tweeted on December 24.

The CIA A.K.A. OGA “Other Government Organization” Is Part Of The FBI Foreign Influence Task Force That Censored The American Report’s HAMMER And SCORECARD Reporting

Taibbi revealed in another December 24 tweet that “One of the most common forums was a regular meeting of the multi-agency Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), attended by spates of executives, FBI personnel, and – nearly always – one or two attendees marked ‘OGA.’”

“‘OGA, or ‘Other Government Organization,’ can be a euphemism for CIA, according to multiple former intelligence officials and contractors,” Taibbi explained in an earlier tweet from the same thread.

“It was an open secret at Twitter that one of its executives was ex-CIA, which is why [FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis] Chan referred to that executive’s ‘former employer,’” Taibbi added in another tweet.

Former Intelligence Community Officer Kory Edwards Discussed Executive Order 12333 During #TwitterFiles Drop LIVE COVERAGE, December 24, 2022 (Time Stamp 54:44)

Kory Edwards

KORY EDWARDS:

…None of you know who I am or what my background is, but if you look at my profile you can see I spent 23 years as a federal intelligence officer. I basically gave up my six-figure GS14 income … because I was sick of some of the things I was seeing in government. In a lot of these conversations, I’m watching you folks and I’m just, I want to pull my hair out.  So many of you are so close to the truth, but you’re not, it’s kind of like hitting all around putting the tail on the donkey but you’re not going for where it’s at.

So, I just want to point out a few things and just kind of try to guide some of you in your research. First of all, does anyone know what governs collection of intelligence information for U.S. agencies?  Who knows what document, or what statute, exactly what governs intelligence collection in the United States? And this is where I get frustrated because a lot of people who speak on these issues have no clue.

The answer to that question is Executive Order One, Two, Triple Three [12333].

So, if you want to get closer to the truth, look at Executive Order One, Two, Triple Three [12333].

It’s an executive order. It’s not a federal statute and all that. That is the primary document that governs intelligence collection. When you go from there and you read into it, look at the part that talks about collecting on U.S. persons. It’s U.S. citizens, anybody that works for a U.S. company, at home or abroad, anybody who is living within the United States. And then you look at where it talks about information freely given by a U.S. citizen. Well, shoot, that’s dang near everything posted on social media. It would be a person on social media posting that. So when digital talks about an illegal basis, I could see his point. An illegal standing. Because one is freely-given information that you’re putting out there. Two, the end-around to this is you are not supposed to collect or retain information on U.S. persons without the approval of the Attorney General. OK. I can tell you, having been in intelligence for 23 years, most of the stuff I know now, I did not know until I reached the GS14 level. I did not know until I worked certain operations and certain missions. Your average intelligence officer has no clue. They are out there, they’re doing their job protecting the country, believing all that, and in doing what they feel is right.

The minute you step outside that line, you are ostracized. I had my clearance, not taken away, but unable to renew it. You know, my TS/SCI. Basically, a code put on my records so that I can’t be hired again by the federal government because I stepped out of line. I called some stuff that, I’m like, “look, this isn’t right. Especially when I was asked directly by a governor to collect intelligence against protestors. Peaceful protestors. And when I refused because it’s a violation of civil rights and civil liberties, I was removed. I was basically ordered that I was going to be transferred up to DC to sit in a corner and color the See Something Say Something campaign.

You know, I’m like no. At this point in my career, I’m not going to go and basically screen gossip. Not doing that.

But look at Executive Order One, Two, Triple Three [12333]. When it talks about retaining information, where does the government retain most of their classified information anymore? You would think a government that’s so secretive, that wants to protect national security secrets, would keep it within the government, right?

Why is it going to Microsoft Azure? Why is it going to AWS [Amazon Web Services]? Why are they using those cloud platforms so heavily? Why? Why would they take that chance?

Because it’s not being hosted by the U.S. government. It’s not being collected by the U.S. government. How do you avoid, how do you end run around all these legal issues?

You buy data. You don’t collect it. You buy it. You buy it.  You store it on a cloud. You store it on a stand-alone system, so if the stand-alone system needs to disappear, it disappears.

And one of the frustrating things from my point of view is nobody seems to care. I don’t have a huge following. I’m not a well-known commentator or anything.

The American Report Previously Published Two Articles About Executive Order 12333

We wrote in our December 17, 2022 article at The American Report ““Who Knew About THE HAMMER? Wendy Sherman, Kissinger Associates President, Obama’s CIA General Counsel On Obama WH Intelligence Advisory Board; AG Lynch’s 2017 EO 12333 Update Allows CIA To Use FBI “Special Collection Techniques”” — The American Report”:

According to The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines (emphasis added), Issued by President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch two days before President Trump’s January 2017 innauguration:

The use of special collection techniques is highly restricted. A special collection technique is any technique that would require a warrant if the technique were used in the United States for law enforcement purposes. Electronic surveillance or a search of a home or office are examples of special collection techniques. With narrowly defined exceptions regarding testing and training, the CIA may not use special collection techniques in the United States. The CIA is, however, permitted to ask another federal agency to perform special collection techniques in the United States under that agency’s legal authorities. The CIA may also provide technical equipment or knowledge to another federal agency in conducting authorized special collection in the United States with the approval of the CIA’s General Counsel. The CIA may conduct special techniques outside the United States that target a United States person only with the approval of the Director of the CIA (or his designee), the CIA General Counsel, the Attorney General, and (where applicable) the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

…Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who previously clashed with Brennan over the CIA’s illegal surveillance of Senate computers, is urging the FTC to investigate Neustar’s collection of DNS records from unsuspecting Americans and the subsequent transfer of those DNS records to a Department of Defense research project involving the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Wyden previously raised the alarm about Lynch’s update to EO 12333.

Bloomberg Law reported:

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is urging the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether a digital security company misled consumers by reportedly selling Americans’ web browsing data to a Department of Defense-funded research project.

Neustar Security Services may have breached privacy promises in violation of US consumer protection law, Wyden wrote in a Thursday letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan.

The senator’s request for a probe reflects his ongoing concern that government agencies are bypassing legal requirements for search warrants by purchasing data that the private sector has collected on Americans’ online habits.

Senator Wyden previously clashed with John Brennan over the shocking discovery that the CIA under Brennan illegally spied on Senate computers.

We also previously wrote in our February 13, 2022 article at The American Report “HAMMERING Out Their Cover Story Two Days Before Trump Inauguration: Obama’s AG Lynch, CIA Boss Brennan Suddenly ‘Updated’ CIA’s 1981 Executive Order 12333 Domestic Bulk Surveillance Guidelines; DURHAM: Clinton Campaign Paid ‘Tech Exec-1’ To Hack Trump Tower, White House”:

On January 18, 2017, just two days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan suddenly issued the CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines. Executive Order 12333 was initially issued in 1981…

…The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines were brought into focus on Thursday, February 10, 2022 when the Associated Press reported that U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) of the Senate Intelligence Committee wrote a classified April 13, 2021 letter to senior Biden Administration intelligence officials requesting declassification of the Deep Dive II report on illegal CIA bulk collection surveillance data about Americans…

…Was the Loretta Lynch – John Brennan January 2017 operation to issue the CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines only two days before President Trump’s inauguration an effort to provide a cover story for the illegal domestic surveillance that was being conducted by Brennan’s CIA and James Comey’s FBI that spied on President Trump via THE HAMMER?

There Were People On The Call Who Were Given Information About HAMMER And SCORECARD Long Before The Call

During The Twitter Spaces Conversation With Kim Dotcom, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton Said Absolutely Nothing About The FBI And Twitter Censoring The American Report’s HAMMER And SCORECARD Article, Despite The Fact That Fitton Appeared On Lou Dobbs Tonight In November 2020 While Sidney Powell Talked About HAMMER And SCORECARD In Detail 

Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch

Tom Fitton never said a word to Kim Dotcom and the other participants on the Twitter Spaces live audio conversation regarding HAMMER and SCORECARD or The American Report’s censored article, despite the fact that Fitton had appeared on the November 8, 2020 broadcast of FOX Business Lou Dobbs Tonight during a segment with attorney Sidney Powell while Powell discussed HAMMER and SCORECARD in great detail.

Tom Fitton had also received a manuscript to the book “THE HAMMER is the Key to the Coup “The Political Crime of the Century”: How Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and the CIA spied on President Trump, General Flynn … and everyone else.”

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton Reacts To Sidney Powell’s Statements On Lou Dobbs Tonight On November 8, 2020 Regarding HAMMER And SCORECARD: “I mean, there have been noises about it on the internet, but I don’t know anything beyond what Sidney’s reporting now”

SIDNEY POWELL:

I think there are any number of things they need to investigate, including the likelihood that three percent of the vote total was changed in the pre-election voting ballots that were collected digitally by using THE HAMMER program and a software program called SCORECARD. That would have amounted to a massive change in the vote that would have gone across the country and explains a lot of what we are seeing. In addition, they ran an algorithm to calculate votes they might need to come up with for Mr. Biden in specific areas. I think that explains what happened in Michigan, where the computer glitch resulted in a change of votes of about 5,500 in favor of President Trump just in one of 47 districts. All those districts need to be checked for that same quote “software glitch” end quote that would change the results in Michigan dramatically. The same thing is happening in other states. We’ve had hundreds of thousands of ballots mysteriously appear solely for Mr. Biden, which is statistically impossible as a matter of mathematics. It can all be documented. We are putting it into materials that we will file in federal court and we need to seek relief in multiple states to enjoin the certification of any election results.

LOU DOBBS:

Tom Fitton. As you listen to Sidney, that sounds like a strong case for a straightforward allegation of fraud. The two programs that she just mentioned [HAMMER and SCORECARD], I’m going to ask you right now, have you ever heard of them? Because I had not heard of them.

TOM FITTON:

I mean, there have been noises about it on the internet, but I don’t know anything beyond what Sidney’s reporting now…

LOU DOBBS:

Well Sidney, let’s go back to HAMMER and SCORECARD. Are those the names that you just used for those programs? What’s being done about it and how broadly were they used by vote counters in various states?

SIDNEY POWELL:

I think they were very broadly used, but not by the vote counters. They were used by the forces in the democratic operatives that had access to these programs through the government access points that they have and used it illegally to change votes in this country. It’s got to be investigated properly by the president’s trusted military intelligence officials who can get into the system and see what was done. But we do have some evidence that that is exactly what happened. And they’ve used it against other entities and other countries. It’s just been turned recently against our own citizens here to change election results. It’s absolutely appalling that that can be done. And whether it’s called “computer glitches” or something else, somebody has actually gone into the system and changed voting results.

LOU DOBBS:

That’s called intervention in our elections. Irrespective I guess, if they were Russia or China, we would refer to them as meddling. But it’s intervention, and it’s also crooked as hell, rigging this election, no matter the jurisdiction, whether it’s Michigan, Georgia, wherever it might be. What can we do about it, because the Department of Justice, I mean, if there is evidence of that program, why not just turn it over to the Justice Department and go to the courts and say “this has got to stop now, here is they way in which it was done”?

SIDNEY POWELL:

Well, we’ve been trying to get their attention and we’re going to try even harder and we’ll have to put it in the federal lawsuit, apparently, and get as much of it out as we possibly can. We have some excellent witnesses on the issue, but this is Coup 5.0 Lou.

“This is Coup 5.0 Lou.” — Sidney Powell

I mean, there was no reason to think that the democratic operatives who spent hundreds of millions of dollars creating the Russia hoax, the Steele Dossier, taking us through a special counsel operation for two years, trying an impeachment hoax, the apocalypse hoax, the obstruction hoax, wouldn’t go so far as to create every means of voter fraud they could come up with to steal this election. That’s exactly what happens. The president must fight back now in every way, shape, or form. We cannot let this Republic be stolen by the democratic operatives who want to destroy the Republic and make it a socialist country where they continue to line their pockets with these backdoor global deals like the Biden “Laptop from Hell” exposes.

The Legacy Media And FBI/CIA-Led Social Media Censors Discard HAMMER And Scorecard Information “The Big Lie” And “Election Denialism,” Despite That FBI Received Evidence From CIA Contractor-Turned-Whistleblower Dennis Montgomery 

Elon Musk’s team has gradually been releasing Twitter’s internal communications via several reporters in a series of tranches known as the Twitter Files.

Musk’s decision to release evidence that the FBI’s FITF forwarded one of The American Report’s most significant HAMMER and SCORECARD articles to Twitter executives is earth shattering. The FBI’s censorship of The American Report has profound constitutional and legal ramifications..

The FBI’s censorship-fueled narrative about the illegal domestic surveillance and election cyberattacks has been consistently echoed and reinforced by legacy media organizations such as CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Reuters, which generally try to discredit The American Report’s disclosures about HAMMER and SCORECARD as conspiracy theories and Orwelian-sounding election denialism.

The Democrat’s narrative that the January 6th “insurrection” was caused by President Trump and purveyors of the so-called “Big Lie” that Joe Biden did not win the January 2020 election is quickly unraveling.

Ray Epps And The Unravelling Of The FBI’s January 6th ‘Insurrection’ Narrative

RAY EPPS - WASHINGTON DC - NEAR THE US CAPITOL

Ray Epps

On January 6, 2020 at 2:12 pm, according to a transcript included in the report issued by the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, Ray Epps sent his nephew a text message that read “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it.”

PJ Media reported:

Ray Epps is the fellow who was caught on video multiple times telling pro-Trump protesters that they were going to have to storm the Capitol. Yet despite this clear evidence that he was a singular ringleader and instigator of what Democrats insist was an “insurrection” that threatened the very survival of our free republic, Epps has never been charged with insurrection or anything else, or even been arrested. Meanwhile, people who never told anyone to storm the Capitol have languished in prison without trial for nearly two years now, in shocking conditions. All this has given rise to the widespread and lingering suspicion that Ray Epps is a fed, a suspicion that Epps himself has just reinforced by telling his nephew that he “orchestrated” the events of that fateful day. Of course he did.

Who Knew About THE HAMMER? Wendy Sherman, Kissinger Associates President, Obama’s CIA General Counsel On Obama WH Intelligence Advisory Board; AG Lynch’s 2017 EO 12333 Update Allows CIA To Use FBI “Special Collection Techniques”

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S WHITE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE ADVISORY BOARD AND INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT BOARD - KISSINGER - CIA - THE HAMMER - THE AMERICAN REPORT

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | December 17, 2022

Who was on President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board in 2009, the year when, according to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, President Obama, with John Brennan and James Clapper, commandeered the super surveillance system known as THE HAMMER and moved it to Fort Washington, Maryland to spy on Obama’s political enemies?

As revealed in the American Report’s March 17, 2017 exposé “Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped ‘A Zillion Times’ By ‘THE HAMMER,’ Brennan’s and Clapper’s Secret Computer System,” one of the audio tapes released by U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow’s courtroom divulged that Brennan and Clapper wiretapped Donald Trump a “zillion times.”

President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board

President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board included, among others, a Kissinger Associates executive, Iran nuclear deal negotiator Wendy Sherman, and Obama’s CIA General Counsel.

In the spring of 2016, as Donald Trump heavily campaigned for president, President Obama selected Stephen Preston and Wendy Sherman to join Obama’s White House Intelligence Board, according to an April 11, 2016 ExecutiveGov report titled “Stephen Preston, Wendy Sherman to Join White House Intelligence Advisory Board.”

The co-chair of Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board was Kissinger Associates executive Judith A. “Jami” Miscik.

Jami Miscik

German-born former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is the Godfather of the United States’ disastrous China engagement policy which rapidly redistributed America’s manufacturing base, wealth, and intellectual property to the brutal Chinese Communist Party.

Henry Kissinger With China’s Chairman Mao Zedong

Henry Kissinger is the founder of Kissinger Associates, Incorporated.

Miscik became Vice-Chair and President of Kissinger Associates after first serving as CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence and then as Global Head of Sovereign Risk for Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers. Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008, during Miscik’s tenure at the firm. Miscik has also served on the board of CIA-connected venture capital firm In-Q-Tel that funds the development of advanced CIA espionage technologies and tools.

President Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan served as a senior adviser at Kissinger Associates, Incorporated.

Wendy Sherman, a far left former Baltimore social worker who somehow ended up in the U.S. State Department, also served on President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Board.

Wendy Sherman, currently a senior Biden State Department official, has close ties to China’s proxy communist regime North Korea.

Wendy Sherman

Wendy Sherman led the negotiations for President Obama’s dangerous and reckless 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Also serving on President Obama’s White House Intelligence Advisory Counsel was Stephen Preston.

STEPHEN W. PRESTON

President Obama’s CIA General Counsel Stephen Preston

Attorney Stephen W. Preston served under President Obama as CIA General Counsel from July 2009 to October 2013 and Department of Defense General Counsel from October 2013 to 2016. Early in his legal career, Preston joined Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP.  In 2016, Preston returned to WilmerHale.

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has been a partner at WilmerHale. According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, FBI Director Mueller provided the computers for THE HAMMER.

“Special Collection Techniques”

According to The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines (emphasis added), Issued by President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch two days before President Trump’s January 2017 innauguration:

The use of special collection techniques is highly restricted. A special collection technique is any technique that would require a warrant if the technique were used in the United States for law enforcement purposes. Electronic surveillance or a search of a home or office are examples of special collection techniques. With narrowly defined exceptions regarding testing and training, the CIA may not use special collection techniques in the United States. The CIA is, however, permitted to ask another federal agency to perform special collection techniques in the United States under that agency’s legal authorities. The CIA may also provide technical equipment or knowledge to another federal agency in conducting authorized special collection in the United States with the approval of the CIA’s General Counsel. The CIA may conduct special techniques outside the United States that target a United States person only with the approval of the Director of the CIA (or his designee), the CIA General Counsel, the Attorney General, and (where applicable) the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

How convenient.

The phrase “special collection techniques” does not appear in the original Executive Order 12333, issued on December 4, 1981. The phrase “special collection techniques” only appears in The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines, issued by President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan two days before President Trump’s inauguration.

We previously reported at The American Report in a February 12, 2022 article titled “HAMMERING Out Their Cover Story Two Days Before Trump Inauguration: Obama’s AG Lynch, CIA Boss Brennan Suddenly ‘Updated’ CIA’s 1981 Executive Order 12333 Domestic Bulk Surveillance Guidelines; DURHAM: Clinton Campaign Paid ‘Tech Exec-1’ To Hack Trump Tower, White House”:

On January 18, 2017, just two days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan suddenly issued the CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines. Executive Order 12333 was initially issued in 1981.

The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines were brought into focus on Thursday, February 10, 2022 when the Associated Press reported that U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) of the Senate Intelligence Committee wrote a classified April 13, 2021 letter to senior Biden Administration intelligence officials requesting declassification of the Deep Dive II report on illegal CIA bulk collection surveillance data about Americans.

According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, Obama’s intelligence officials John Brennan and James Comey commandeered the powerful foreign surveillance system known as THE HAMMER, originally intended for overseas espionage to spy on terrorists and other U.S. adversaries operating overseas, and instead turned THE HAMMER against the American people, turning the United States into a communist Stasi-style surveillance police state.

New York University’s Just Security wrote on January 18, 2017:

In acknowledgment of the mass scale of modern electronic intelligence collection, the Central Intelligence Agency today released newly updated guidelines governing how it treats Americans’ data that are swept up in the agency’s overseas espionage efforts conducted under Executive Order 12333.

Was THE HAMMER a “special collection technique” used by the FBI at the behest of Obama’s CIA? This would explain the reported presence of both CIA and FBI personnel at Fort Washington, Maryland.

This would dovetail with communist-voting John Brennan’s reference on MSNBC to a “fusion center.”

John Brennan’s ‘Fusion Center’

We previously reported at The American Report in an October 27, 2019 article titled “BRENNAN’S “FUSION CENTER” FABLE IS COVERUP FOR “THE HAMMER” SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM  BRENNAN AND CLAPPER USED TO SPY ON TRUMP; COUP WENT INTO OVERDRIVE MARCH 17, 2017”:

On August 17, 2018, on MSNBC, where John Brennan is a national security and intelligence analyst, Brennan told Rachel Maddow “we put together a Fusion Center at CIA that brought NSA and FBI officers together with CIA to make sure that those proverbial dots would be connected.”

Yet, those intelligence agencies are separate and have unique charters for good reason.

Whistleblower Dennis Montgomery has a different, and far more disturbing, version of events that contradict John Brennan’s “Fusion Center” fable.

On February 3, 2009, Brennan and Clapper commandeered the powerful foreign surveillance tool known as “THE HAMMER” and turned it against America for the purpose of “blackmail” and “leverage.”

Brennan and Clapper took “THE HAMMER,” the Montgomery-designed-and-built supercomputer system that had previously served as a foreign surveillance tool and that was once located at eTreppid Technologies in Reno and later at Blixware in Washington state, and relocated it on February 3, 2009 to a CIA facility in Fort Washington, Maryland.

At the Fort Washington Facility, Brennan and Clapper transformed “THE HAMMER” into a domestic surveillance tool and began targeting President Obama’s political enemies.

Brennan’s fabricated “Fusion Center” cover story will likely fall apart just as the Trump Russian Collusion hoax fell apart, like a house of cards.

South African-Born Rodney Joffe And Neustar

We previously reported at The American Report in the February 13, 2022 article “HAMMERING Out Their Cover Story Two Days Before Trump Inauguration: Obama’s AG Lynch, CIA Boss Brennan Suddenly ‘Updated’ CIA’s 1981 Executive Order 12333 Domestic Bulk Surveillance Guidelines; DURHAM: Clinton Campaign Paid ‘Tech Exec-1’ To Hack Trump Tower, White House”:

Rodney Joffe was born in South Africa in 1954.

Joffe is Senior Vice President, Security CTO and Fellow at Neustar.

What exactly does Nuestar do? Foreign Policy explained in January 2014:

President Obama announced on Friday that a huge database of all Americans’ phone records will be moved out of the National Security Agency, where it’s currently stored, and kept either with phone companies or a third party. “This will not be simple,” Obama warned. The approach could be more expensive and legally ambiguous than if the government held the records, and it could raise a host of new privacy concerns, the president said.

Who would want, or even be capable of such a job?

Meet Neustar, Inc., a company most people have probably never heard of but have almost certainly dealt with in some form, even if they didn’t know it. If you’ve ever changed cell phone carriers and wanted to keep your old phone number, Neustar “ported” it over for you from one carrier to another. To do that, it keeps a record of all cell phone numbers in the United States. The company also acts as a kind of middleman between law enforcement agencies serving surveillance warrants on telephone companies, ensuring that the companies only give over the amount of information they’re legally required to disclose. 

MeriTalk reported in an August 15, 2016 report titled “FCC Deal With Foreign-Owned Company Raises Security, Transparency Concerns“:

The Federal Communications Commission gave final approval for Telcordia, a subsidiary of the Swedish company Ericsson, to be the next Local Number Portability Administrator (LNPA), despite protests from the current LNPA that the FCC ignored national security implications and withheld information when choosing a new company…

…Neustar … has been in charge of routing calls and texts for 650 million U.S. and Canadian phone numbers for more than 2,000 carriers since 1997 when the job began…

The LNPA [Local Number Portability Administrator] was established so that consumers could keep their phone number when changing carriers.

The Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC) requires the company that oversees it to keep phone data secure because the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies look into the database 4 million times a year to gain information for criminal and intelligence investigations. The concern is that other countries could hack into the database to find out who the U.S. government is wiretapping. Another concern is that a hacker could get into the database and severely slow down the routing of calls, which could have serious consequences in the event of a national emergency.

Neustar was acquired by TransUnion in 2021.

Michael Rae Khoury tweeted on May 3, 2022:

Let that sink in… The Government knew what Ericsson was up to and they chose to ignore it or defer action. AND THE FCC DID NOT INCLUDE NATIONAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS in the initial bid process?!

Senator Ron Wyden Alarmed By AG Lynch’s Update To Executive Order 12333, John Brennan’s CIA Operation To Spy On US Senate Computers, And Neustar’s Sale Of DNS Data To DoD

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who previously clashed with Brennan over the CIA’s illegal surveillance of Senate computers, is urging the FTC to investigate Neustar’s collection of DNS records from unsuspecting Americans and the subsequent transfer of those DNS records to a Department of Defense research project involving the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Wyden previously raised the alarm about Lynch’s update to EO 12333.

Bloomberg Law reported:

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is urging the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether a digital security company misled consumers by reportedly selling Americans’ web browsing data to a Department of Defense-funded research project.

Neustar Security Services may have breached privacy promises in violation of US consumer protection law, Wyden wrote in a Thursday letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan.

The senator’s request for a probe reflects his ongoing concern that government agencies are bypassing legal requirements for search warrants by purchasing data that the private sector has collected on Americans’ online habits.

Senator Wyden previously clashed with John Brennan over the shocking discovery that the CIA under Brennan illegally spied on Senate computers.

THE GHOST: Who Is James Baker, Really? Origins Of Comey’s Former FBI General Counsel And Twitter’s Former Deputy General Counsel A Mystery

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | December 10, 2022

The trail goes cold in Wichita, Kansas.

This much we know:

A student named James Andrew Baker from Wichita, Kansas graduated from Notre Dame University in 1983, according to Notre Dame’s 1983 commencement program.

After graduating from Notre Dame in 1983, Baker went on to earn a Master’s degree and a law degree from the University of Michigan in 1988.

Baker was known as “Mr. FISA.”

During the pinnacle of the FBI’s Trump Russian Collusion hoax investigation Crossfire Hurricane — and the symbiotic media hysteria that echoed chambered that conspiracy theory ad infinitum — Baker served as the bureau’s senior legal adviser to James Comey, the six foot, eight inch FBI director who famously admitted to New York Magazine, “In college … I’d moved from Communist to whatever I am now.”

In June 2020, five months before the highly-compromised 2020 election, Baker, with perfect timing, moved over to Twitter, joining the social media’s legal team as a deputy general counsel.

Baker managed to operate in relative obscurity at Twitter, toiling away in the shadowy depths of Twitter’s hyper-woke corporate blackbox, famous for shadow banning and permanently excommunicating conservatives, “anti vaxxers,” and “election deniers” from the platform.

Even when all hell broke loose after Twitter censored the New York Post’s bombshell éxpose on Hunter Biden’s ‘laptop from hell’ before the 2020 election,  Baker managed to continue flying under the radar at Twitter.

It was only Elon Musk’s decision to fire Baker in spectacular fashion that finally catapulted Baker to the top of the news cycle.

Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey lied before the U.S. Congress when he denied that Twitter shadow banned conservative Twitter accounts.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Files have revealed that Twitter did indeed shadow ban accounts, a practice the company secretly referred to by the euphemistic code-phrase “Visibility Filtering.”

Baker was frantically reviewing the Twitter Files around the clock before Elon Musk “exited” Baker from Twitter.

Musk fired Baker for ‘vetting internal files on Hunter Biden laptop scandal and DELAYING release of second tranche’ of the Twitter Files.

But what have we known about Baker over the years?

The American Report, since early 2019, has documented in great detail James Baker’s involvement at the FBI with the whistleblower case of Dennis Montgomery, the former CIA contractor who states that he designed and built a super surveillance system known as THE HAMMER. The American Report first reported on THE HAMMER on The American Report’s Facebook page in 2015.

Bill Barr And James Baker Both Worked At Verizon And DOJ

William Barr, who served as U.S. Attorney General under President H.W. Bush and President Donald Trump, retired at the end of 2008 from his position as Verizon’s “executive vice president and general counsel since the company’s inception in 2000,” according to a Verizon press release. “Barr, 58, previously was general counsel at GTE, which merged with Bell Atlantic to become Verizon. Prior to his 14-year career in the communications industry, Barr was U.S. Attorney General under then-president H.W. Bush,” according to the press release.

At Verizon, Bill Barr, who became Trump’s AG, and James Baker, who during the Trump Russian Collusion hoax coup operation leaked the fraudulent Steele Dossier to Mother Jones reporter David Corn, simultaneously held the positions of Verizon General Counsel and Assistant General Counsel for National Security at Verizon Business, respectively, according to their biographies.

According to a January 15, 2014 FBI national press release announcing the appointment of James A. Baker as FBI general counsel:

In 1996, Mr. Baker joined the former Office of Intelligence Policy and Review (OIPR), which later became part of DOJ’s National Security Division. From 2001 to 2007, Mr. Baker served as counsel for intelligence policy and head of OIPR. In this position, he developed, coordinated, and implemented national security policy with regard to intelligence and counterintelligence matters for the department. Moreover, he provided the attorney general, the U.S. intelligence community, and the White House with legal and policy advice on a range of national security issues and conducted oversight of the intelligence community, including the FBI, on behalf of the attorney general…

…From 2008 to 2009, Mr. Baker was assistant general counsel for national security at Verizon Business. He then returned to DOJ, and from 2009 to 2011, served as an associate deputy attorney general working on a range of national security issues, including cyber security.

According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Montgomery, Comey and Baker buried evidence provided by Montgomery to the FBI showing the Barack Obama, James Comey, and John Brennan, using a foreign surveillance tool known as THE HAMMER, which the trio illegally commandeered to spy on Obama’s political enemies, and engaged in illegal domestic surveillance of Donald Trump and other Americans.

In October 2018, Former FBI General Counsel James Baker found himself being interviewed during an Executive Session Joint Hearing of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Government of Oversight Committee.

HAMMERTIME: Baker Buried Whistleblower Montgomery’s Trump Surveillance Evidence Then Suddenly “Remembered” FBI Had It

We previously reported in a May 29, 2019 article at The American Report titled “HAMMERTIME: Baker Buried Whistleblower Montgomery’s Trump Surveillance Evidence Then Suddenly “Remembered” FBI Had It”:

Former FBI General Counsel James A. Baker is the second current or former senior FBI official to have misled Congress about the FBI’s receipt of evidence from CIA/NSA whistleblower Dennis Montgomery that Montgomery maintains proves that President Obama’s intelligence chiefs, CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, illegally surveilled Donald Trump with the super-surveillance system known as “THE HAMMER” (HAMR).

Former FBI counsel Baker, who was interviewed by a joint committee of the U.S. House of Representatives just weeks before the 2018 midterm election, stated during day one of his interview, conducted on October 3, 2018, that the FBI and the DOJ did not “infiltrate or surveil” the Trump campaign for “political purposes.”

Baker simultaneously denied on day one that Obama administration officials made “demands or requests” of the FBI and the DOJ to “infiltrate or surveil” the Trump campaign.

At the beginning of  Baker’s day two testimony, conducted on October 18, 2018, Baker interrupted Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) stating he wanted to amend the record of his day one testimony, thereby sidestepping a potential perjury charge.

Between day one of his interview two weeks earlier and day two,  Baker suddenly “remembered” that U.S. government contractor Dennis Montgomery had turned over to the FBI evidence in 2015 in the form of digital storage devices that, Montgomery asserted, proved that the U.S. government illegally surveilled American citizens and government officials.

Baker either lied or misspoke about which year Montgomery turned over evidence to the FBI, when he told the joint committee that Montgomery provided the evidence to the FBI in 2016, when in fact Montgomery had turned over the evidence in 2015, one full year earlier, before the 2016 presidential election.

Baker carefully stated: “To the best of my recollection, it’s in the late summer, early fall 2016.”  Baker misstated the year the FBI took possession of Montgomery’s evidence during day two of his interview. By carefully reciting that it was to the “best of his recollection” Baker neatly sidestepped a potential perjury charge.

Baker’s two-day interview, carried out on October 3 and October 18, 2018, was “part of a joint investigation by the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform into decisions made and not made by the DOJ and the FBI regarding the 2016 Presidential election.”

Executive Session

Joint Hearing

House Judiciary Committee

House Government of Oversight Committee

REDACTED, COMMITTEE SENSITIVE

INDIVIDUALS IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. Jordan — Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH)

Mr. Baker — James A. Baker, former FBI general counsel

Mr. [REDACTED]

Mr. Breitenbach — Ryan Breitenbach, senior counsel for the majority staff on the House Judiciary Committee.

Mr. Jordan. Okay. I’ll do it again.

So, when we left off a few weeks ago, we were talking about a meeting you had with Andy McCabe and Lisa Page shortly after the meeting they had with Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein where Mr. Rosenstein indicated he was looking at the possibility of recording the President of the United States.

Tell me when that meeting that you had with — when was the meeting you had again with Ms. Page and Mr. McCabe?

Mr. Baker. Okay. First of all, if I can just say, at some point in time, there’s something I remembered from last time I’d like to — that I didn’t remember when we were sitting here together. I’d look to talk about that at some point and put that on the record. I don’t want to interrupt your flow of questions.

Mr. Jordan. Go do that. If there’s something you want to clarify from last time, do that upfront, and then we’ll go right back to my question.

Mr. Baker. Okay. Sure. It’s not directly related to this, and I’m happy to answer your question that you just asked me.

Mr. Jordan. Okay.

Mr. Baker. So I recalled after — just actually a few days ago — that another incident when a — this time an attorney on behalf of a client came to me and wanted — came specifically to me and wanted to make information available to the FBI in the form of electronic media that he wanted to get into the —

Mr. Jordan. Different case or same case?

Mr. Baker. Different case.

Mr. Jordan. Okay.

Mr. Baker. Well, a completely different case. Different attorney, different client, but insistent on meeting only with me or the Director. And then he did not have the material with him at the time. We had to actually dispatch FBI agents to go to a — from a field office to go collect this material. It was in the — to the best of my recollection, it was roughly in the late summer, fall of 2016 timeframe.

Mr. Jordan. Can you tell us the case?

Mr. Baker. It was Larry —

Mr. [REDACTED]  Mr. Baker, please do answer the question, but if it’s in a — if it’s a matter that’s totally unrelated to what’s being discussed here, I’d ask you not to discuss any specific investigative details. Can you answer the question?

Mr. Baker. Can I give the name of the attorney?

Mr. [REDACTED] The name of the — absolutely. Yes, sir.

Mr. Baker. Okay. The name of the attorney was Larry Klayman, and he also brought one of his associates with him whose name I don’t recall at this point in time, and it was on behalf of a particular client. Anyway, that’s what I recalled. And we were talking about that last time, and I did not remember that incident. Now I do.

Mr. Jordan. Okay. Thank you. Let’s go back to Mr. McCabe, Ms. Page, and —

Mr. Breitenbach. I’m sorry, Mr. Jordan. Can I just follow up?

Mr. Jordan. Sure.

Mr. Breitenbach. With regard to Mr. Klayman coming to visit you, was it with regard at all to surveillance concerns that he had concerning the general fact pattern that we’re here to discuss today?

Mr. Baker. Well, it had to do with surveillance. It had to do with an allegation about unlawful surveillance, but it was — I believe it was different from any fact pattern that we talked about last time here.

Mr. Breitenbach. Unlawful surveillance of whom?

Mr. Baker. Of Americans, including government officials. Yeah. I can go — I mean —

Mr. Jordan. Who was his client?

Mr. Baker. Can I just — I’m turning to the Bureau to describe this. So his client was an individual named Dennis Montgomery, who I believe, to the best of my recollection, he said that he had been a U.S. Government contractor and, in the course of that work, had come across evidence of unlawful surveillance by the government of Americans — and including government officials — and wanted to give that information to the Bureau, which eventually did take place.

Mr. Jordan. And was this — I’m sorry. Go ahead.

Mr. Sommers. During what time period?

Mr. Jordan. Yeah. That’s what I was going to ask.

Mr. Baker. To the best of my recollection, it’s in the late summer, early fall 2016.

Mr. Sommers. And the surveillance, what time period was that?

Mr. Baker. I’m not entirely sure what the timeframe was. It was a significant — it was — one of the issues in the case was it was a large amount of data that he had that he wanted to provide, that these — these disks or other media had a lot of data on them about this, allegedly.

Mr. Sommers. Surveillance by whom?

Mr. Baker. By the U.S. Government itself of Americans, unlawfully.

Mr. Jordan. Interesting. All right. Thank you. All right. Let’s go back to the McCabe-Page-Rosenstein meeting. When did you talk to Lisa Page and Andy McCabe about the meeting they had with Mr. Rosenstein?

Baker’s Pre-Notre Dame Life Is A Mystery

We know nothing about Baker’s pre-university life in Kansas, or anything about Baker’s parents.

Baker’s wife Darsie Cahall graduated in 1976 from Germantown Academy, the oldest nonsectarian day school in the United States, located in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, a wealthy suburb of Philadelphia, according to her Facebook profile.

Cahall graduated from the University of Delaware in 1980 and from graduate school at the University of Michigan in 1986.

Baker is a ghost before Notre Dame.

Unlike other high-profile national security officials like Bill Barr and John Brennan, details about Baker’s early life or his family appear to be nonexistent on the internet.

Who, exactly, is James Baker, the former FBI official at the center of Twitter’s censorship operations?

STEALING FREE SPEECH AND ELECTIONS: James Baker, Former FBI General Counsel, Buried Hunter ‘Laptop From Hell’ Story At Twitter, Had HAMMER / SCORECARD Source Code According To CIA Contractor-Turned-Whistleblower Dennis Montgomery

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | December 3, 2022

During the run-up to the 2020 U.S. election, agents from the FBI’s San Francisco bureau met with California-based social media executives — initially on a quarterly basis, then monthly, and finally, weekly, according to Missouri Attorney General and U.S. Senator-elect Eric Schmitt.

On one side of the table were agents from the FBI San Francisco field office cyber branch, where Elvis Chan and FBI Section Chief, Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) Laura Dehmlow led efforts to cross pollinate and synchronize the efforts of FBI officials and social media company executives in a Chinese Communist Party-style control grid over all internet communications.

On the other side of the table were executives from social media companies such as Facebook owner Meta and Twitter, where former FBI General Counsel James Baker, who served as a Deputy General Counsel, and as of December 2022, is perhaps now leading Twitter’s legal department.

Elon Musk promised to expose internal Twitter emails and subsequently linked to a Twitter thread by reporter Matt Taibbi.

According to an internal Twitter corporate email published on Twitter by Taibbi, amid an internal debate among Twitter executives on the decision to censor links to a bombshell New York Post report about Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell,” James Baker wrote:

I support the conclusion that we need more facts to assess whether the materials were hacked. At this stage, however, it is reasonable for us to assume that they may have been and that caution is warranted.

There are some facts that indicate the materials may have been hacked, while there are others indicating that the computer was either abandoned and-or the owner consented to allow the repair shop to access it for at least some purposes. We simply need more information.

We previously reported at The American Report on July 13, 2017 that Senior U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia “struck a limited immunity agreement for Montgomery with the FBI.” At the time that Judge Lamberth struck Montgmery’s limited immunity agreement with the FBI, future Twitter Deputy General Counsel James Baker was the FBI’s general counsel.

“FBI Director James Comey demanded that the FBI be given the source code to SCORECARD, the election-hacking application that operates on THE HAMMER surveillance supercomputer platform, as a condition of  CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis L. Montgomery’s 2015 FBI and DOJ immunity agreements, according to Montgomery,” we reported in a December 18, 2020 article at The American Report titled “STEALING AMERICA: ‘Former’ Communist Comey Got SCORECARD Election Hacking Source Code And Knew SolarWinds Was Not Secure: US District Court Judge Richard Leon Confirmed That ICIG Had Possession Of Montgomery’s Recorded Testimony And Hard Drives.”

Montgomery states that he “implanted a unique digital signature within the source code” of SCORECARD, The American Report reported on May 17, 2021.

FBI Met Weekly With Social Media Companies During Run Up To 2020 Election

According to a December 2, 2022 Fox News exclusive report titled “FBI met weekly with Big Tech ahead of the 2020 election, agent testifies: FBI Agent Elvis Chan testified Tuesday to Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general”:

On Tuesday [November 29, 2022], lawyers from the offices of Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana deposed FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan as part of their lawsuit against the Biden administration.” That suit accuses high-ranking government officials of working with giant social media companies “under the guise of combating misinformation” to achieve greater censorship.

…According to the complaint, pursuant to a third-party subpoena, Meta identified the FBI’s Foreign Interference Task Force and Chan as involved in the communications between the FBI and Meta that led to Facebook’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

We previously reported in an October 25, 2020 article at The American Report  titled “Since 2015 FBI, DOJ Hid Secret Evidence Proving Hunter And Joe Biden’s China Ties Says CIA Whistleblower”:

In August 2015, CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis L. Montgomery provided the FBI and the DOJ with evidence stored on 47 hard drives that implicates Robert Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden, in illegal activities, Montgomery states.

Among the 600 million pages of documents stored on those 47 hard drives of electronic data that Montgomery turned over to the FBI were 10,000 pages of documents regarding Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, according to Montgomery. The 10,000 pages of documents regarding Hunter Biden and Joe Biden included videos and images.

Going all the way back to 2003, Montgomery maintains, the U.S. government continuously targeted Joe Biden and Hunter Biden with electronic surveillance via THE HAMMER.

US District Court Judge Richard Leon Confirmed That ICIG Had Possession Of Montgomery’s Recorded Testimony And Hard Drives 

We also previously reported at The American Report that US District Court Judge Richard Leon confirmed that the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) had possession of Montgomery’s recorded testimony and computer hard drives:

According to a March 3, 2018 opinion by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon in the case DENNIS MONTGOMERY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. JAMES COMEY, Defendants:

At the status conference in this case, counsel for the Government defendants represented to this Court that the “hard drives are in a secure facility with the [I]ntelligence [C]ommunity’s Office of Inspector General” and that there was “no risk” that they were “going to be destroyed anytime soon”…

…Plaintiffs’ primary argument on this point is that, without preservation of the hard drives and the interview tapes, they “will lose the material evidence in this case.” Pls.’ Mot. 18. But as I have already explained, the Government has represented to this Court that there is a litigation hold preventing the destruction of either the hard drives or the interview tapes.

The Intelligence Community Inspector General from 2010 to 2018 was former FBI agent Irvin Charles “Chuck” McCullough III. McCullough, in that role, reported directly to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. McCullough was also previously employed by the NSA Inspector General’s office.

Fox News reported in a December 3, 2022 article titled “Musk declares New York Times ‘lobbying firm for far left’ after reportedly ignoring ‘Twitter Files’ story”:

Twitter owner Elon Musk called The New York Times a “lobbying firm for far left politicians” on Saturday.

The world’s richest man made his comments on Twitter Saturday in response to the claim that the news outlet featured no articles about the revelation of Musk’s “Twitter Files” the morning after they dropped on Twitter.

Five Months Before 2020 Election, Twitter Hired Former FBI General Counsel James Baker; Baker Is Still Twitter’s Attorney As Of November 2022

The New York Post reported on June 16, 2022 article titled “Twitter hires former FBI lawyer James Baker to join legal team,” “Twitter has tapped former FBI general counsel James Baker, a central player in the Russia collusion investigation, to serve as counsel to the tech giant.

Bloomberg Law reported on November 22, 2022:

The most senior in-house attorneys left at the company [Twitter] are Baker, a former general counsel of the FBI hired by Twitter in 2020, and Lima, the international legal head who recently relocated to the US, the people familiar said.

Baker and Lima didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Mary Fanning Blows The Lid Wide Open And Drops The Nukes On The Deep State: Two Mikes

TWO MIKES - MARY FANNING - EPISODE 264

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN: Mary Fanning Blows The Lid Wide Open And Drops The Nukes On The Deep State: Two Mikes

Just a few hours after still-President Trump demanded a “redo” of the 2022 presidential elections based on the hard evidence produced at Mike Lindell’s recent symposium and other data pertinent thereto that is popping nearly every day, The Two Mikes had the opportunity to interview Mary Fanning of the American Report.

Referring to Trump’s demand, Fanning explained that Lindell’s symposium produced evidence of a 2020 election stolen with the participation of China that is irrefutable and accepted by an ever-increasing number of experts across the country, as well as every American with a bit of common sense.

Ms. Fanning said in the wake of the symposium’s data, the word “conspiracy” can no longer be connected to claims of a stolen 2020 election. She recalled that John Brennan and James Clapper redirected the “Hammer” signals-collection system against Americans. Once activated, Hammer began collecting against the Supreme Court Justices, 153 other federal judges, Senators, Congressman, and other politicians and public figures across the country.

No one, however, was tracked more constantly or completely than Trump, his family, and his business; there were literally a “zillion” times on which they were the “hammer’s” target.

All of this data was included in the 47 hard drives — which, printed and stacked, would be 30 miles tall — that Dennis Montgomery turned over to the FBI to be investigated for criminality and perhaps treason, but — like Hunter Biden’s laptop — the FBI deep-sixed the discs.

Ms. Fanning took a moment to praise two of America’s most honorable patriots — Lt. General Thomas McInerney and the late Admiral James “Ace” Lyons — for their efforts to keep this information before the American public even as the media tried to bury it.

The information from the symposium and hard-drives, of course, shows that America has many foreign enemies, not only in China but among a half-dozen or more European countries that lent aid to the Democrats, the FBI and CIA in their efforts to block trump from the Republican nomination; to remove him through two impeachments, and the then by stealing the 2020 election.

There are, obviously, no shortage of mortal enemies of Trump and the republic here at home, such as the white guilt-ridden liberals, the manipulated black community, deflective Chinese Americans whom refused to admit that the bioweapon came from China; and none is worse, and more seldom mentioned, than many in the Jewish-American community and their businesses, like Big Tech/Media which can always be found on the side opposing Trump and on the side of those eager to destroy Americans, their republic and Constitution, and their families, liberty, and livelihoods.

COUP CONFIRMED: Notes From March 6, 2017 FBI Meeting Reveal Panic; By 2015 James Baker, After Receiving Hard Drives, Testimony From Montgomery, Knew Trump Had Been Spied Upon For A Long Time

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | May 14, 2022

Special Counsel John Durham’s first trial in his multi-year investigation into the origins of the hoax Trump Russian collusion investigation begins on Monday, May 16, with defendant Michael Sussman on trial for one count of lying to the FBI.

Sussman is the former partner at law firm Perkins Coie who in September 2016 met with FBI General Counsel James Baker.  Both the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign and the DNC retained Perkins Coie for the 2016 presidential election season. During his meeting, Sussman presented so-called ‘evidence’ to Baker and the FBI that supposedly proved the existence of communications between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank.

Later, the FBI determined that there was no evidence that Trump was communicating with Alfa Bank.

The question before the court is whether or not Sussman lied to Baker by claiming that he did not represent a client when in fact he was representing the Clinton campaign.

How did the FBI not know that Sussman was working on behalf of the Clinton campaign when he met with Baker?

The Sussman trial took on a new and more expansive dimension earlier this week after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia allowed Sussman’s attorneys to submit as exhibits hand-written notes taken during a March 6, 2017 meeting at FBI headquarters. Senior officials from the FBI and the DOJ attended that meeting, including FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Deputy Director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division Peter Strzok, FBI General Counsel James Baker, Assistant Director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division Bill Priestap, James Rybicki, chief of staff to then-director of the FBI James Comey, and U.S. Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente.

According to the March 6, 2017 FBI meeting notes, that were taken on the Monday morning following President Trump’s now-infamous Saturday, March 4, 2017 tweet accusing Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower, “FBI trying to determine what is behind POTUS tweets.”

On the morning of Saturday, March 4, 2017, The American Report, in response to President Trump’s “Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ tweet three hours earlier, sent a tweet to President Trump and Trump’s son Eric Trump, alerting President Trump that “Brennan/Clapper ‘tapped Trump a Zillion times’ says CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery.”

Also the morning of Saturday, March 4, 2017, in response to President Trump’s “Obama had my ‘wires tapped’”tweet, The American Report posted detailed information to The American Report’s official Facebook page about “THE HAMMER” wiretapping Donald Trump “a zillion times.”

CIA Contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery Sued James Comey

In June, 2017, CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery sued James Comey, Barack Obama, John Brennan, the FBI, the CIA, and various other U.S. government intelligence officials and agencies.

According to Montgomery’s lawsuit:

On August 19, 2015 Plaintiff Montgomery was induced by Defendants Comey and the FBI and made to turn over 47 hard drives of evidence of the aforementioned illegal, unconstitutional activity, which hard drives alone are valued in excess of $50,000 dollars. Indeed, counsel for Montgomery, Plaintiff Klayman, was told and assured by the former General Counsel of the FBI, James Baker, that Defendant Comey was taking “hands on” supervision and conducting the FBI’s Montgomery investigation, given its importance…

…On or about December 21, 2015, Plaintiff Montgomery was interviewed under oath at the FBI Field Office in the District of Columbia. There,over the course of an over three-hour interview, recorded on video, with Special Agents Walter Giardina and William Barnett, Plaintiff Montgomery meticulously laid out the NSA, CIA, DNI’s, and the other Defendants’ – particularly Defendants Clapper and Brennan’s – pattern and practice of conducting illegal, unconstitutional surveillance against millions of Americans, including prominent Americans such as the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, other justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen, and others such as Donald J. Trump, as well as Plaintiffs themselves. Plaintiffs were assured that the FBI, under Defendant Comey, would conduct a full investigation into the grave instances of illegal and unconstitutional activity set forth by Montgomery. However, the FBI, on Defendant Comey’s orders, buried the FBI’s investigation because the FBI itself is involved in an ongoing conspiracy to not only conduct the aforementioned illegal, unconstitutional surveillance, but to cover it up as well. Plaintiff Klayman has contacted FBI General Counsel James Baker numerous times to obtain an update on the Montgomery investigation, but has been ignored each time.

ICIG Took Possession Of Montgomery’s Hard Drives And Testimony

We exclusively reported at The American Report on December 18, 2020 that U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon confirmed that Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), former FBI agent Irvin Charles “Chuck” McCullough III, took possession of Montgomery’s recorded testimony and hard drives:

According to a March 3, 2018 opinion by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon in the case DENNIS MONTGOMERY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. JAMES COMEY, Defendants:

At the status conference in this case, counsel for the Government defendants represented to this Court that the “hard drives are in a secure facility with the [I]ntelligence [C]ommunity’s Office of Inspector General” and that there was “no risk” that they were “going to be destroyed anytime soon…

…Plaintiffs’ primary argument on this point is that, without preservation of the hard drives and the interview tapes, they “will lose the material evidence in this case.” Pls.’ Mot. 18. But as I have already explained, the Government has represented to this Court that there is a litigation hold preventing the destruction of either the hard drives or the interview tapes.

In October 2018, about sixteen months after Montgomery sued Comey, James Baker testified before a joint congressional committee. Approximately two weeks later, during his second day of testimony, Baker suddenly interrupted Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) and asked to amend his testimony. Baker had suddenly “remembered” that in 2015 Montgomery had provided to the FBI with electronic storage devices containing evidence of illegal US government surveillance targeting US citizens.

James Baker Amended 2018 CongressionalTestimony, Suddenly ‘Remembered’ That Montgomery Turned Evidence Over To FBI

We previously reported at The American Report in “HAMMERTIME: Baker Buried Whistleblower Montgomery’s Trump Surveillance Evidence Then Suddenly “Remembered” FBI Had It”:

Former FBI General Counsel James A. Baker is the second current or former senior FBI official to have misled Congress about the FBI’s receipt of evidence from CIA/NSA whistleblower Dennis Montgomery that Montgomery maintains proves President Obama’s intelligence chiefs, CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, illegally surveilled Donald Trump with “THE HAMMER” (HAMR) super-surveillance system.

Former FBI counsel Baker, who was interviewed by a joint committee of the U.S. House of Representatives just weeks before the 2018 midterm election, stated during day one of his interview, conducted on October 3, 2018, that the FBI and the DOJ did not “infiltrate or surveil” the Trump campaign for “political purposes.”

Baker simultaneously denied on day one that Obama administration officials made “demands or requests” of the FBI and the DOJ to “infiltrate or surveil” the Trump campaign.

At the beginning of Baker’s day two testimony, conducted on October 18, 2018, Baker interrupted Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) stating he wanted to amend the record of his day one testimony, thereby sidestepping a potential perjury charge.

Between day one of his interview two weeks earlier and day two, Baker suddenly “remembered” that U.S. government contractor Dennis Montgomery had turned over to the FBI evidence in 2015 in the form of digital storage devices that, Montgomery asserted, proved that the U.S. government illegally surveilled American citizens and government officials…

…Baker’s two-day interview, carried out on October 3 and October 18, 2018, was “part of a joint investigation by the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform into decisions made and not made by the DOJ and the FBI regarding the 2016 Presidential election.”

Notably, Baker stated the wrong year when disclosing that Montgomery had turned over evidence to the FBI. Baker transposed the year by one digit, stating that Montgomery had provided the evidence to the FBI in 2016, instead of the actual year it occurred, 2016:

Baker carefully stated: “To the best of my recollection, it’s in the late summer, early fall 2016.”  Baker misstated the year the FBI took possession of Montgomery’s evidence during day two of his interview. By carefully reciting that it was to the “best of his recollection” Baker neatly sidestepped a potential perjury charge.

Did Baker intentionally misstate the year. Was there an intent to deceive?

Judge Christopher Cooper Who Is Presiding Over The Sussman Trial Is Married To Amy Jeffress, Lisa Page’s Attorney; Page And Strzok Were Central To The Hoax Russian Collusion Coup D’etat Against President Donald Trump

On Sunday, March 20, 2017, just hours after US Air Force General Thomas McInerney (Ret) and Admiral James A. Ace Lyons (Ret) presented the American Report’s March 19, 2017 exclusive “Whistleblower Tapes” exposé over America’s airwaves, revealing “The Hammer,” Strzok and Page exchanged a text message that specifically mentioned “Montgomery.”

Judge Christopher Cooper, who is presiding over Sussman trial, is married to Amy Jeffress, Lisa Page’s attorney. Page and Strzok were central to the hoax Russian collusion coup d’etat against President Donald Trump.

Does Judge Cooper’s connection to former FBI attorney Lisa Page present a clear conflict of interest in the Sussman trial?

Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch stated during a recent interview, “If a spouse has a substantial interest in the outcome of a proceeding, then a judge should consider recusal…That is a question Judge Cooper will have to ask himself.”

Americans can hope that Judge Christopher  Cooper is up to the task and is a man for all seasons.

According to a May 2, 1999 wedding announcement published by the New York Times, “Dorothy Ames Jeffress, a Federal prosecutor, and Christopher Reid Cooper, a lawyer, were married yesterday afternoon at the Meridian House, a historic mansion in Washington. Judge Merrick Garland of the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit officiated…”

Durham Has Obtained 22 Emails From Fusion GPS

Judge Cooper ordered Fusion GPS to turn over to Special Counsel Durham 22 emails that the research firm had withheld by claiming that they were protected under attorney-client privilege. Although Durham cannot use those emails in Sussman’s trial, Durham may use them in a future case related to his ongoing investigation into the origins of the hoax Trump Russian collusion investigation.

Let’s hope that Special Counsel Durham has another bite at the apple, and that more revelations are forthcoming.

HAMMER? FBI Panicked After Trump Accused Obama Of Wiretapping Trump And The American Report Tweeted “Brennan/Clapper ‘tapped Trump a Zillion times’ says CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery”

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | May 11, 2022

Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the hoax Trump Russian collusion investigation, code-named Crossfire Hurricane, has revealed that senior FBI officials, during a March 6, 2017 meeting, were in a panic two days after after President Trump, in a March 4, 2017 tweet, accused President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower.

On the morning of Saturday, March 4, 2017, The American Report, in response to the President’s own tweet three hours earlier, sent a tweet to President Trump and his son Eric Trump, warning President Trump that “Brennan/Clapper ‘tapped Trump a Zillion times’ says CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery.”

Also the morning of Saturday, March 4, 2017, in further response to President Trump’s tweet, The American Report posted information to The American Report’s official Facebook page about “THE HAMMER” wiretapping Donald Trump “a zillion times.”

John Brennan and James Clapper, who worked for Barack Obama, commandeered THE HAMMER and moved it to Fort Washington, Maryland, according to CIA contractor-turned whistleblower Dennis Montgomery.

March 6, 2017 Meeting At FBI Headquarters Was Attended By Senior FBI And DOJ Officials, Including FBI General Counsel James Baker; In 2015, Baker Granted Dennis Montgomery Limited Immunity Agreements For Production And Testimony; Baker Buried Whistleblower Montgomery’s Trump Surveillance Evidence Then Suddenly “Remembered” FBI Had It

During the March 6, 2017 meeting, FBI officials desperately wanted to know how President Trump knew that he had been wiretapped, hand-written notes taken during the meeting reveal.

FBI officials at the meeting were also desperate to know how much more President Trump knew about the extent of the illegal surveillance that had covertly targeted Trump and his campaign.

The March 6, 2017 meeting was held at FBI headquarters, and attendees included senior officials from both the FBI and the DOJ.

Imagine the FBI’s surprise when on March 7, 2017, WikiLeaks dropped CIA Vault 7, proving the existence of THE HAMMER.

THE HAMMER is the super surveillance system while HAMR are the exploits, including SCORECARD that work off THE HAMMER. SCORECARD is a prismatic scoring algorithm that steals votes at the transfer point as the vote is Byers the Internet.

In 2015, the FBI and DOJ granted CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery two limited immunity agreements in exchange for production and testimony. In 2015, Montgomery turned over to the FBI’s Miami field office 47 computer hard drives of evidence regarding THE HAMMER. Also in 2015, Montgomery provided sworn testimony to FBI and DOJ officials during a classified debriefing held inside a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) at the FBI’s Washington, DC field office.

FBI General Counsel James Baker was one of the senior FBI officials who attended the March 6, 2017 meeting, during which FBI officials expressed alarm over President Trump’s knowledge that he had been wiretapped. During that meeting, FBI officials also began to cover their tracks.

Baker was not only involved in Montgomery’s immunity deals, Baker also suddenly “remembered” during his second day of testimony in 2018 before a joint Congressional committee that Montgomery, through his attorney, had turned over to the FBI evidence of illegal domestic surveillance by the government against U.S. citizens.

Those meeting notes have emerged in the form of exhibits in Durham’s grand jury trial against Michael Sussman, a former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney who was a partner at the law firm Perkins Coie.

“Best to say nothing and brief later if necessary”: Peter Strzok Was Scheduled To Attend The March 6, 2017 Meeting; Strzok Shared A Text Message With Lover/FBI Attorney Lisa Page About “Montgomery” On March 19, 2017, Just Hours After General McInerney Read Over America’s Airwaves The American Report’s March 17 Exposé “Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped “A Zillion Times” By ‘The Hammer,’ Brennan’s and Clapper’s Secret Computer System”

FBI official Peter Strzok was quite familiar with the name Montgomery, as we revealed at The American Report in our March 30, 2019 report “COUP D’ÉTAT: DOJ, FBI OFFICIALS ON MUELLER’S RUSSIA TEAM IN COVER UP OF MUELLER’S, CLAPPER’S, AND BRENNAN’S SURVEILLANCE ‘HAMMER’ THAT SPIED ON TRUMP, STRZOK-PAGE TEXT SHOWS”:

Disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok and his paramour, FBI attorney Lisa Page, who together conspired to bring down Donald Trump, were also involved in the Montgomery whistleblower affair.

Strzok, the FBI’s top counterintelligence official and Page, the FBI attorney who was advising Comey and helping to develop the Trump Russia investigation, exchanged a cryptic text message on Sunday evening, March 19, 2017.

Strzok and Page exchanged the text message moments after the Air Force’s former number three Pentagon official, legendary Cold War combat and spy pilot Lt. General Thomas McInerney, broke the Montgomery story onto America’s radio airwaves.

Later that Sunday night, following McInerney’s detailed on-air interview about whistleblower Montgomery’s claims that Brennan and Clapper used their secret surveillance system known as “The Hammer” to spy on Donald Trump, Strzok and Page exchanged a second text message.

The second Strzok-Page text message specifically mentions, by name, Montgomery and Montgomery’s attorney Larry E. Klayman.

“I’m not going to respond to the whole group. The Klayman/Montgomery stuff in the email Jim just sent is utter BS. Best to say nothing and brief later if necessary.” – March 19, 2017 Strzok/Page text message sent hours after Lt. General Thomas McInerney went on air to discuss Brennan’s and Clapper’s secret surveillance system “The Hammer”

Who’s Product Was It? Acting DNI Richard Grennell Tweeted That Flynn Kislyak Wiretap Transcript ‘Wasn’t Our Product’

We previously reported in our article “So Whose “Product” Is It? Exploring The Origin Of The Flynn-Kislyak Wiretap: Was It THE HAMMER?”

Acting Director of Intelligence Richard Grenell, replying to a tweet from The Federalist’s Mollie Hemmingway about “declassifying the Kislyak-Flynn transcript and/or summaries,” tweeted:

The IC doesn’t have all the transcripts/summaries….it wasn’t our product. It’s odd that @AdamSchiff doesn’t know this.

So, whose product was it?

Was it the “product” of the illegally-commandeered foreign surveillance system known as THE HAMMER? President Obama, James Clapper, and John Brennan had transformed THE HAMMER into an illegally-privatized domestic surveillance system to spy on the American people. They ran THE HAMMER outside of legally-mandated Congressional and FISA court oversight.

The Handwritten Notes About The March 6, 2017 At FBI Headquarters Are Now Exhibits In Durham’s Grand Jury Trial Of Michael Sussman

The Epoch Times reported on May 10, 2022:

Newly released notes taken by high-level Department of Justice (DOJ) officials during a March 6, 2017, meeting with FBI leadership expose some of the lengths the FBI went to, to cover up its spying on the 2016 campaign of President Donald Trump.

The notes were released on May 8 by lawyers representing former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann as part of an effort to clear him on charges of having lied to the FBI. The notes, in reality, appear to do little to exonerate Sussmann but do provide quite a bit of information on the FBI.

The meeting at which the notes were taken took place just two days after Trump’s March 4, 2017, tweet in which he accused former President Barack Obama of having wiretapped Trump Tower. Trump’s tweet panicked FBI leadership, who were unsure exactly how much Trump knew about their efforts to tie him up with Russia collusion allegations.

What the notes reveal is that in response to the tweet, they tried to cover their tracks.

Was The American Report’s GULFTAINER Story The Origin Of The Trump Russia Collusion Conspiracy Theory? One Day After Fanning / Jones Broke Story That Linked Gulftainer To Dr. Jafar, Saddam Hussein, Obama, Clintons, And ‘Russia’s Darth Vader’ Igor Sechin, Michael Isikoff Broke Story Linking Carter Page To Igor Sechin

We previously reported in our April, 2022 article “Launching The Trump Russia Collusion Conspiracy Theory: One Day After Fanning/Jones Broke Story That Linked Gulftainer To Dr. Jafar And Igor Sechin, Michael Isikoff Broke Story Linking Carter Page To Igor Sechin”:

In the course of any investigation, assembling a timeline and fact pattern is critical.

When timelines of Crossfire Hurricane and The American Report’s exposure of Gulftainer and the Obama/Clinton ‘Project Pelican’ operation are assembled, they intersect in September 2016 with a reporter named Michael Isikoff.

On September 22, 2016, The American Report broke the story of Gulftainer’s connections to Saddam’s nuclear scientist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar and former KGB agents Vladimir Putin and Igor Sechin, known as “Russia’s Darth Vader” and “the scariest person on earth.”

On the following day, September 23, 2016, Yahoo News Chief Investigative Correspondent Michael Isikoff reported in his now-infamous Yahoo News story “U.S. intel officials probe ties between Trump adviser and Kremlin” that “U.S. intelligence officials are seeking to determine whether an American businessman [Carter Page] identified by Donald Trump as one of his foreign policy advisers has opened up private communications with senior Russian officials.”

Just sometimes, the truth will out.

HAMMERING Out Their Cover Story Two Days Before Trump Inauguration: Obama’s AG Lynch, CIA Boss Brennan Suddenly ‘Updated’ CIA’s 1981 Executive Order 12333 Domestic Bulk Surveillance Guidelines; DURHAM: Clinton Campaign Paid ‘Tech Exec-1’ To Hack Trump Tower, White House

CIA's Updated Exec Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines JAN 18, 2017 - THE AMERICAN REPORT

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | The American Report | February 12, 2022

On January 18, 2017, just two days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan suddenly issued the CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines. Executive Order 12333 was initially issued in 1981.

The CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines were brought into focus on Thursday, February 10, 2022 when the Associated Press reported that U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) of the Senate Intelligence Committee wrote a classified April 13, 2021 letter to senior Biden Administration intelligence officials requesting declassification of the Deep Dive II report on illegal CIA bulk collection surveillance data about Americans.

According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, Obama’s intelligence officials John Brennan and James Comey commandeered the powerful foreign surveillance system known as THE HAMMER, originally intended for overseas espionage to spy on terrorists and other U.S. adversaries operating overseas, and instead turned THE HAMMER against the American people, turning the United States into a communist Stasi-style surveillance police state.

New York University’s Just Security wrote on January 18, 2017:

In acknowledgment of the mass scale of modern electronic intelligence collection, the Central Intelligence Agency today released newly updated guidelines governing how it treats Americans’ data that are swept up in the agency’s overseas espionage efforts conducted under Executive Order 12333.

The requirements, set to go into effect on March 18, 2017, are designed to deal with the fact that so much of everyone’s life is spent in the digital space, that the sheer volume of data collected in 21st Century espionage means that Americans’ data will be collected by the agency — in a way that couldn’t be imagined when the previous guidelines were released decades ago.

The new guidelines (full text below), dubbed the Attorney General Guidelines, were developed by the offices of US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch and CIA Director, John Brennan, and they replace a heavily redacted set of predecessor rules that were implemented in 1982. While much of the new regulations are a consolidation of the 1982 documents — and subsequent CIA policy updates for handling Americans’ data that were developed in the years since — the rules announced today lay out several new requirements to deal with the fact that “inherently, there’s going to be more incidental collection” of Americans’ data, CIA Privacy and Civil Liberties Officer Ben Huebner said today during a small press briefing at CIA headquarters in Virginia.

The classified Deep Dive II report was issued by an obscure federal agency called the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. The part of the Deep Dive II report outlining the CIA’s bulk collection of surveillance data about American citizens remains classified.

In what amounts to a devastating one-two-punch at the Deep State communists this week, on the very next day, Friday, February 11, 2022, Special Counsel John Durham filed an explosive motion alleging that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid ‘Tech Executive-1’ and associates to infiltrate the computer servers Trump Tower and the White House to create the false and contrived narrative that Donald Trump was working with Kremlin forces.

Durham’s filing on Friday “definitely showed the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia,” said Kash Patel, former chief investigator in the campaign by Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) at the House Intelligence Committee to discredit the hoax Trump-Russia investigation, according to Fox News.

Kash Patel stated that Durham’s filing “shows that the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia,” according to the Washington Examiner.

Joe Biden senior 2020 campaign advisor Anita Dunn, a fan of Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong, is the wife of Perkins Coie partner Robert Bauer.

Robert Bauer previously served as general counsel for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and as President Obama’s White House Counsel.

Robert Bauer’s father, Austrian-born Robert Albert Bauer, worked as an announcer for the Voice of America and as a diplomat. Senator Joseph McCarthy’s prosecutor Roy Cohn questioned Robert Albert Bauer after Bauer fell under suspicion of involvement with subversive communist activities related to Voice of America’s programming in Latin America.

Was the Loretta Lynch – John Brennan January 2017 operation to issue the CIA’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines only two days before President Trump’s inauguration an effort to provide a cover story for the illegal domestic surveillance that was being conducted by Brennan’s CIA and James Comey’s FBI that spied on President Trump via THE HAMMER?

THE HAMMER is the Key to the Coup “The Political Crime of the Century”: How Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and the CIA spied on President Trump, General Flynn … and everyone else

CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery testified under oath in the FBI’s Washington DC Field Office Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in December 2015 to just that.

Four years before Senators Wyden and Heinrich wrote their letter asking for a declassification of Deep Dive II, The American Report had already broken the story of THE HAMMER surveillance system, showing that the CIA had been illegally spying on Americans, including Donald Trump. 

The CIA holds no charter to spy on Americans.

According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, Obama, Brennan, and Clapper were spying not only on Donald Trump, but were also spying on U.S. Supreme Court Justices and other high profile Americans — for the purpose of “blackmail and leverage.”

Why did Brennan and Lynch, only 48 hours before Donald Trump took office, suddenly update the attorney general’s guidelines on a Reagan-era executive order issued 36 years earlier that addresses CIA domestic surveillance?

Once again, the CIA holds no charter to spy on Americans.

Special Counsel John Durham’s February 11, 2022 motion reportedly states that the Hillary Clinton campaign paid ‘Tech Executive-1’ and associates to infiltrate Trump Tower and White House servers to create the narrative that Trump was working with Russia.

President Trump, on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 6:35 am via Twitter, accused President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower just before the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

“Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” President Trump tweeted.

The American Report tweeted its response to President Trump’s wiretapping accusation tweet at 9:59 am.

The Washington Examiner reported in a February 12, 2022 article titled “Durham says Democrat-allied tech executive spied on Trump’s White House office”:

Durham revealed in a Friday court filing that he has evidence that [Michael] Sussmann’s other client (dubbed “Technology Executive-1” but known to be former Neustar Senior Vice President Rodney Joffe) “exploited” domain name system internet traffic at “a particular health care provider” (which was likely Spectrum Health), Trump Tower, Trump’s Central Park West apartment building, and “the Executive Office of the President of the United States.”

South African-Born Rodney Joffe Of Neustar

Rodney Joffe was born in South Africa in 1954.

Joffe is Senior Vice President, Security CTO and Fellow at Neustar.

What exactly does Nuestar do? Foreign Policy explained in January 2014:

President Obama announced on Friday that a huge database of all Americans’ phone records will be moved out of the National Security Agency, where it’s currently stored, and kept either with phone companies or a third party. “This will not be simple,” Obama warned. The approach could be more expensive and legally ambiguous than if the government held the records, and it could raise a host of new privacy concerns, the president said.

Who would want, or even be capable of such a job?

Meet Neustar, Inc., a company most people have probably never heard of but have almost certainly dealt with in some form, even if they didn’t know it. If you’ve ever changed cell phone carriers and wanted to keep your old phone number, Neustar “ported” it over for you from one carrier to another. To do that, it keeps a record of all cell phone numbers in the United States. The company also acts as a kind of middleman between law enforcement agencies serving surveillance warrants on telephone companies, ensuring that the companies only give over the amount of information they’re legally required to disclose. 

Who else besides Obama, Brennan, Clapper and James Comey were involved with using THE HAMMER to cook up a false narrative that Russia ‘colluded’ with Trump and interfered in the 2020 election? The Hillary Clinton campaign? Mark Elias? Perkins Coie? The CCP? Peter Strzok? Lisa Page?

According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, Brennan and Clapper illegally commandeered THE HAMMER and relocated it to Fort Washington, Maryland. In addition, a VPN with access to THE HAMMER was set up inside the Obama White House, according to Montgomery.

Did Loretta Lynch have access to THE HAMMER?

Was Loretta Lynch involved in cleaning up and / or covering up THE HAMMER?

What role did FBI General Counsel James Baker play, and how much did he know?

Montgomery turned over 47 computer hard drives of evidence to the FBI in 2015, and received two limited immunity agreements from the FBI and DOJ. After the FBI verified that data on the hard drives, Montgomery provided sworn testimony to FBI and DOJ officials inside a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at the FBI’s Washington DC Field Office in December, 2015.

According to a March 3, 2018 opinion by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon in the case DENNIS MONTGOMERY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. JAMES COMEY, Defendants, Montgomery’s hard drives and sworn testimony were turned over to Irvin Charles “Chuck” McCullough III, who served as the Intelligence Community Inspector General from 2010 to 2018.

Is The Durham Investigation Moving In On THE HAMMER?

Is John Durham taking the entire investigation toward THE HAMMER?

While the information revealed from Senators Wyden and Heinrich is stunning, large swaths of their letter to U.S. intelligence officials are redacted and blacked out. This lack of information indicated that large amounts of detailed information regarding CIA bulk collection programs targeting American citizens has still not been revealed.

The America Report’s series of stories on THE HAMMER covered the statements of CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, who exposed that in the February 2009 Barack Obama’s intelligence officials John Brennan and James Clapper illegally commandeered and illegally employed a powerful foreign surveillance tool known as THE HAMMER and turned it on the American People for the purpose of “blackmail and leverage.”

According to Montgomery, FBI Director Robert Mueller provided the computers for the powerful HAMMER super surveillance system.

Obama, Brennan, and Clapper relocated THE HAMMER in February 2009 to a secret facility where they expanded the super surveillance system, making it even more powerful, according to Montgomery.

Montgomery holds a TS/SCI security clearance with access to case-specific SAP (Special Access Program) information. Only a few need-to-know TS/SCI clearance holders are ever read into or even made aware of the existence of a Special Access Program (SAP).

Has Durham’s team approached the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) to secure the 47 computer hard drives and the sworn testimony of Dennis Montgomery?

Are Obama and Biden hoping to slow down Durham’s investigation by ushering in a full-blown hot war between the U.S. and Russia, originating along Ukraine’s borders with Russia and Belarus and the surrounding seas?

The stakes could not be higher.

“Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped ‘A Zillion Times’ By ‘THE HAMMER,’ Brennan And Clapper’s Secret Computer System”

On March 20, 2017, less than 24 hours after General Thomas McInerney read verbatim over America’s airwaves The American Report’s exposé, titled “Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped “A Zillion Times” By ‘The Hammer,’ Brennan’s and Clapper’s Secret Computer System,” FBI Director Comey, during testimony on Capitol Hill concerning “Russian Interference in the 2020 Election,” not only launched the hoax Trump Russian Collusion investigation, but he also mentioned Executive Order 12333:

I do want to specifically mention that among the collection and authorities that we have to target foreign actors in foreign spaces, FISA Section 702 and Executive Order 12333 have been instrumental in our ability to produce the intelligence made available to the committee and others in gathering the SIGINT facts of foreign activity in this election cycle.

The American Report connected President Trump’s March 4, 2017 tweet to whistleblower claims made by CIA contractor-turned-whistelblower Dennis L. Montgomery and to “THE HAMMER” surveillance system that Montgomery had built and that John Brennan and James Clapper had illegally commandeered and utilized.

The American Report also published “The Whistleblower Tapes.”

The Whistleblower Tapes first emerged from U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow’s courtroom. According to the individual who recorded those audio tapes, the recordings were never supposed to have been made available to the public or to have been heard by the American people.

Montgomery and other individuals whose voices were captured on those  audio recordings stated that the recordings were made without their permission and without their knowledge.

The American Report sent a March 4, 2017 tweet to President Trump notifying the president that he was being spied upon “a zillion times” by Brennan and Clapper, according to CIA contractor-turned whistleblower Dennis Montgomery.

The American Report followed up by publishing the first full length news media report to connect President Trump’s accusations of illegal wiretapping to Dennis Montgomery’s whistleblower claims that Obama’s intelligence officials John Brennan and James Clapper were spying on Trump via THE HAMMER.

The American Report exposé, titled “Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped “A Zillion Times” By ‘The Hammer,’ Brennan’s and Clapper’s Secret Computer System,” was first published on March 4, 2017 and again on March 17, 2017 after TheAmericanReport.org website was recovered following a major cyber hacking attack.

The American Report’s HAMMER exposé included embedded audio of the “Whistleblower Tapes” from the American Report’s Soundcloud account.

The American Report Uncovered “THE HAMMER VAULT Secret Data Repository” Long Before The Associated Press Reported on February 10, 2022 That “The CIA has a secret, undisclosed data repository that includes information collected about Americans, two Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee said”

“The CIA has a secret, undisclosed data repository that includes information collected about Americans, two Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee said Thursday,” the Associated Press just reported.

The American Report Previously Reported “THE HAMMER VAULT is a secret data center repository where valuable illegally-collected surveillance data vacuumed up by THE HAMMER, including corporate and military intellectual property and U.S. defense secrets, were securely stored and made accessible only to Obama team insiders”

We previously wrote at The American Report:

The Obama White House provided 1200 preloaded BlackBerry devices to trusted Obama team insiders, including Hunter Biden, according to Montgomery. Those 1200 BlackBerry phones were preloaded with a special digital ‘Rolodex…’

Each of those 1200 White House-provided BlackBerry devices was set up with the capability to access THE HAMMER VAULT and the secrets it held, according to  Montgomery.

THE HAMMER VAULT is a secret data center repository where valuable illegally-collected surveillance data vacuumed up by THE HAMMER, including corporate and military intellectual property and U.S. defense secrets, were securely stored and made accessible only to Obama team insiders.

The American Report also previously reported that “Sensitive information stored in THE HAMMER VAULT was subsequently passed to U.S. adversaries including China and Russia. The DOJ and the FBI are in receipt of that evidence.”

According to a February 10, 2022 press release issued by Senator Wyden’s office:

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., both members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, called for new transparency about bulk surveillance conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency, following the release of documents that revealed a secret bulk collection program and problems with how the agency searches and handles Americans’ information.

Wyden and Heinrich requested the declassification of a report by the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board on a CIA bulk collection program, in a letter sent April 13, 2021. The letter, which was declassified and made public today reveals that “the CIA has secretly conducted its own bulk program,” authorized under Executive Order 12333, rather than the laws passed by Congress.

The letter notes that the program was “entirely outside the statutory framework that Congress and the public believe govern this collection, and without any of the judicial, congressional or even executive branch oversight that comes from [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] collection.”

“Brennan Concocted Trump-Russia Intelligence ‘Fusion Center’ Narrative As A Cover Story Because Brennan And Clapper Had Illegally Commandeered ‘THE HAMMER’ For Illegal Domestic Surveillance And For Wiretapping Trump, In Violation Of The CIA’s Charter,” we reported in our October 27, 2019 article “Brennan’s “Fusion Center” Fable Is Coverup For “THE HAMMER” Surveillance System  Brennan And Clapper Used To Spy On Trump; Coup Went Into Overdrive March 17, 2017.”

U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer: Destroy Evidence Of Illegal Domestic Surveillance Collected On And Before March 17, 2017

Interestingly,

Senior U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer, Presiding Judge of the U.S. Foreign Surveillance Court, on April 26, 2017, ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to destroy evidence of illegal domestic surveillance collected on and before March 17, 2017, the exact date on which “The American Report” published the first full-length report revealing John Brennan and James Clapper’s use of “THE HAMMER” to wiretap Donald Trump,

the American Reported revealed on December 24, 2019.

Reminiscent of the suspicious timing of Obama’s ‘Depopulation’ Science Czar John P. Holdren’s January 9, 2017 “Recommended Policy Guidance for Potential Pandemic Pathogen Care and Oversight,” a reckless recommendation that federal agencies lift the prohibition of funding of dangerous gain-of-function research that was issued released only 11 days before President Trump’s inauguration, Lynch and Brennan’s Updated Executive Order 12333 Attorney General Guidelines was issued a mere 48 hours before President Trump took power.

“Let Me Know When The Pandemic Starts” CIA Contractor-Turned Whistleblower Dennis Montgomery Told The FBI In December 2015

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | The American Report | January 18, 2022

“Let me know when the pandemic starts,” CIA contractor-turned whistleblower Dennis Montgomery stated in a chilling parting shot to government officials in December 2015 as he left the SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) at the FBI’s Washington D.C. Field Office.

Montgomery had just spent hours inside the SCIF providing sworn national security-related testimony to FBI and DOJ officials.

It had been a long day. Under the protection of two limited immunity agreements provided by the DOJ and the FBI, Montgomery, isolated from the prying eyes, ears, and electronics of the outside world by the walls of the FBI’s SCIF, and while being recorded by an FBI video camera, talked.

What did Montgomery tell the FBI about CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, President Barack Obama, and THE HAMMER?

Clapper, Brennan, and Obama had illegally-commandeered the powerful foreign surveillance tool THE HAMMER and turned it against the American people.

Why would Montgomery reference “the coming pandemic” to the FBI and the DOJ in 2015?

Montgomery had just testified under oath for hours to the DOJ’s  Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Curtis and FBI Special Agents William Barnett and Walter Giardina, better known as FBI Director James Comey’s two top guys?

What had been revealed in that SCIF that Montgomery would reference a coming pandemic?

Everything Montgomery revealed was true, otherwise, Montgomery would not have received his second immunity agreement. If Montgomery had lied about anything, he would have been arrested.

Montgomery has held a TS/SCI security clearance with access to SAP information since 2002.

Sources inside the government revealed that Chinese scientists connected to the PLA and the CCP were stealing biotechnology information from Fort Detrick and the CDC and were giving it to the Chinese embassy in Washington DC and the Chinese consulate. This information was known by the DOJ and FBI by 2015, well ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brennan and Clapper were intimately aware of every substantial bit of intelligence that THE HAMMER collected.

What data was stored on the 47 computer hard drives that Montgomery had turned over to the FBI and the DOJ in 2015?

What did CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey and President Obama  do to stop the CCP and the PLA from stealing sensitive bioresearch from Fort Detrick and the CDC?

They were well aware that China was stealing United States secrets and its biodefense research.

The FBI verified Montgomery’s data before Montgomery provided his sworn testimony in December 2015.

In 2015, when Montgomery turned over the 47 hard drives and provided his sworn testimony inside the FBI SCIF, the FBI was under the control of President Barack Obama and FBI Director James Comey. The very same James Comey who famously and shamelessly told New York Magazine that he used to be a communist and isn’t sure what he is now.

The very same Comey who received information about the Chinese infiltration of Fort Detrick and the CDC, and the disastrous theft of U.S. biodefense data by the Chinese Communist Party and by China’s military, the PLA. Comey did nothing to defend America’s national security. He buried the critical intelligence that showed the perilous risk America faced.

Montgomery sued James Comey in 2018 for burying the national security evidence that Montgomery provided to the FBI.

In a 2018 opinion, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon wrote that Montgomery’s hard drives and the U.S. government’s recordings of Montgomery’s testimony were in the custody of the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). The ICIG from 2010 to 2018 was Irwin Charles McCullough III. McCullough is a former FBI Special Agent.

Fort Detrick To Fort Washington To China, Via THE HAMMER VAULT

Let the gravity of Montgomery’s statement sink in.

Montgomery testified about President Obama, CIA Director John Brennan, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Montgomery was exposing that Obama, Brennan and Clapper had illegally commandeered a powerful foreign surveillance tool that previously required 17 echelons of safeguards and signoffs ,including FISA court approval, in order to gain access.

Top secret data was being transferred from Fort Detrick and the CDC into Fort Washington, where it was stored in THE HAMMER VAULT before being transferred to China.

Understand, THE HAMMER is a Special Access Program (SAP), part of the highest echelon of U.S. intelligence. America’s state secrets were being given or sold to China.

Obama, Brennan, and Clapper had illegally turned the powerful  super surveillance system against Americans, including 109 Members of Congress, members of the Supreme Court including Justice John Roberts and Justice Antonin Scalia, Article III judges, military leaders, business leaders and American law firms, for the purpose of “blackmail and leverage.”

Brennan and Clapper had a VPN installed that directly connected THE HAMMER in Fort Washington to the Obama White House.

Montgomery handed over to the FBI 47 computer hard drives of documented and verified evidence. Those  600 million pages of illegally-harvested documents, when stacked one upon another, stood 30 miles high.  Montgomery handed over those 47 hard drives in August of 2015 at the FBI’s Miami Field Office to Assistant U. S. Attorney Deborah Curtis, and FBI Special Agents William Barnett and Walter Giardina.

The DOJ and FBI turned a blind eye when Obama, Brennan, and Clapper started stealing state secrets, including from Fort Detrick, and putting them into the HAMMER VAULT at Fort Washington before transferring them to America’s adversaries.

We previously reported at The American Report:

The Obama White House provided 1200 preloaded BlackBerry devices to trusted Obama team insiders, including Hunter Biden, according to Montgomery. Those 1200 BlackBerry phones were preloaded with a special digital ‘Rolodex…’

Each of those 1200 White House-provided BlackBerry devices was set up with the capability to access THE HAMMER VAULT and the secrets it held, according to  Montgomery.

THE HAMMER VAULT is a secret data center repository where valuable illegally-collected surveillance data vacuumed up by THE HAMMER, including corporate and military intellectual property and U.S. defense secrets, were securely stored and made accessible only to Obama team insiders.

Sensitive information stored in THE HAMMER VAULT was subsequently passed to U.S. adversaries including China and Russia. The DOJ and the FBI are in receipt of that evidence.

What Information Was Shared That Led Montgomery To State “Let Me Know When The Pandemic Starts”?

Specifically, what information about bioresearch was shared during the grueling hours inside the SCIF that led up to Montgomery’s parting shot “Let me know when the pandemic starts”?

Is this why the Obama-Biden Administration’s Science Czar John P. Holdren, just 11 days before President Trump’s January 2017 inauguration, recommended that U.S. federal agencies lift the ban on gain-of-function research? Was this an effort to cover up for the fact that sensitive biotechnology data had already been illegally transferred from the United States to China? Had gain-of-function research already been implemented?

Biotechnology wasn’t the only thing that went to China. So too did John Holdren. After Holdren recommended lifting the ban on gain-of-function research, he accepted a teaching position at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, Xi Jinping’s alma mater.

DARPA rejected a 2018 research proposal from Peter Daszak’s Ecohealth Alliance on the basis that the project potentially involved dangerous gain-of-function research.

It has been known since 2005 when General Chi Haotian gave two speeches to top level CCP insiders, that the CCP and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) wanted to kill 100 to 200 million Americans in order to secure the Chinese Century.

General Chi Haotian, who was China’s Minister of Defense from 1995 to 2002, wanted to confiscate America, including her water and her land for the Chinese people.

General Chi was willing to sacrifice one third of China’s 1.4 billion people in order to accomplish that goal. General Chi Haotian cited Biological weapons as the means to that end.

Knowing General Chi Haotian’s long-range plan to use bioweapons against America, why did the FBI and the DOJ bury Montgomery’s evidence and allow China’s unrestricted biowarfare plans to move forward?

One And The Same: The Team That Took Montgomery’s Hard Drive Evidence And Sworn Testimony Is The Same Team Behind The Hoax Trump Russian Collusion Conspiracy And The Prosecution Of General Flynn

Questioning Montgomery during his hours-long testimony that day were the DOJ’s Assistant U.S. Attorney Deboarah Curtis, FBI General Counsel James Baker, and James Comey’s’ two right hand men,’ FBI Special Agents Walter Giardina and William Barnett. These are all of the same players who were involved in the Russian Collision coup d’etat against President Donald Trump.

FBI Director James Comey and FBI General Counsel James Baker, along with CIA Director  John Brennan, would soon be at the very center of the coup to take down President Trump via the hoax Russian Collusion conspiracy theory.

Data Collected By Brennan And Clapper With THE HAMMER and Provided By Montgomery To The FBI Was Used In Cyber Attacks On U.S. Infrastructure

Domestic secrets that were unlawfully collected by James Clapper and John Brennan via the illegally-commandeered HAMMER were now being used to hack into sensitive U.S. infrastructure.

America’s adversaries were able to access sensitive national security data at U.S. government agencies by exploiting vulnerabilities in SolarWinds network monitoring software products.

We previously disclosed at The American Report on May 17, 2021:

The domestic surveillance information that was illegally collected with THE HAMMER by John Brennan and James Clapper and subsequently turned over to the FBI and DOJ under immunity agreements is now being used to hack U.S. critical infrastructure, according to the whistleblower.

First, access was achieved to SolarWinds which is access to all U.S. National Security information that protects the United States. Someone was provided with those passwords that were collected by Brennan and Clapper and given to the FBI and DOJ…

…The information that was turned over to the FBI in 2015 and eventually ended up in the hands of U.S. adversaries included the stolen login credentials for 92 Colonial Pipeline employees and for five Colonial Pipeline network administrators.

The information turned over to the FBI included the access points where America was most vulnerable to hacking.

The FBI and the DOJ did nothing to protect America’s infrastructure. They left U.S. infrastructure wide open to attack, and attacks against America ensued. The FBI and the DOJ’s lack of action left America vulnerable to hacking.

American taxpayers’ dollars paid for this shoddy national security posture and for the salaries of the corrupt officials behind this subterfuge.

Unrestricted Warfare

What was happening is that Unrestricted Warfare was being carried out, by the book, against the United States of America.

Everything the Biden Administration does is designed to assist China, or the Bidens.

China has benefitted from record 18 percent GDP growth while the U.S. economy is hampered by the highest inflation in 40 years, supply chain breakdowns, exploding crime rates, terrorism from BLM, Antifa, and foreign jihadis, and cybewarfare rattacks against U.S. election infrastructure.

It would be wise national security policy for the U.S. to pull out of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games in light of the release of SARS-CoV-2 during the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan and the recent emergence of a frightening hemorrhagic disease in China.

Why should any nation honor the genocidal communist maniac Xi Jinping after hundreds of thousands of Americans were killed by China’s unrestricted bioweapon?
