Russiagate – who is who and what is what?
Russiagate has become so complex, that a telephone directory with names and numbers seems crucial for those that have not closely followed it’s development during 2017. Here is a who is who and what is what that is intended to supply your (basic) needs.
Introduction
Because of the growing complexity of the Russiagate scandal I thought it a good idea to construct a who is who and what is what, as a guide for the innocent newby to find his or her way in this minefield that for more then a year has dominated political warfare in the USA. Particularly useful now the scandal is coming to a head, the headlines are flooded with ins and outs, and more and more people have come to realise that their trust in their regular newsoutlets – part of the mainstream media – has proven to be misplaced. If that is you, you need information to understand what it is all about. You’ll find it here.
However, even for people that have tallied all along this past 14 months, it may prove useful to be made aware again of certain individuals that only play marginal but crucial roles. Also, the realisation that Russiagate consists of a large number of subscandals that are interconnected is a fact not everybody seems to have realised yet. Some information here may seem too obvious, but remember: this was originally compiled for a Dutch audience that has been kept in the dark by it’s own state media, that are blindly following the lead of leftwing American MSM.
I can not say I’m completely impartial myself, but I have tried to present the information in this blog with as little bias as can be expected, including lots of links to sources that explain or mention the main and smaller characters involved.
The main line
In short, Russiagate is all about finding a way to impeach Donald Trump as president of the United States. (Democrats may disagree)
It all started in earnest with a declaration by the ODNI on January 6th 2017, two weeks before the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States. But the roots of the scandal reach back way further, and have become part of the scandal itself, now it seems more and more that Russiagate is a scam. A scam set up to remove Donald Trump from office before he could do too much damage to the vested interests of what usually is known as the Deep State. The Deep State seems to have been in collusion with the leading oligarchy within the Democratic Party (DNC), presently the second political party in the USA. Which would in effect prove a scandal that will rock the United States more then the infamous Watergate-scandal did in 1973-75.
The categorisation of those mentioned below may change over time. I intend to keep it up to date, and will register the latest date it has been changed on the foot of this post.

Steele’s alleged bias and Mr. and Mrs. Ohr’s relationship with him were not included in the FISA applications for surveillance of Carter Page.

He tried to hide his wife’s connection with the Democratic party.

Page, Carter – has been a focus of the 2017 Special Counsel investigation into links between Trump associates and Russian officials and Russian interference on behalf of Trump during the 2016 Presidential election. – Page was the excuse to obtain a warrant from the FISA-court, for which the Steele dossier was employed;

Sub-scandals to Russiagate
Emailserver scandal (Emailgate) In March 2015, it became publicly known that Hillary Clinton, during her tenure as United States Secretary of State, had used her family’s private email server for official communications, rather than official State Department email accounts maintained on secure federal servers.
FISA-gate – the unlawfull misconduct by which the FB obtained a warrant to spy on Christopher Page.
2017 Special Counsel investigation – Official term for Russiagate
Russia Probe – the original inquest into possible collusion of Donald Trump with Russian intelligence to rig USA2016 in his favour. Led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, former FBI-director.
Unmasking scandal – this scandal is about the revelation that then NSA Susan Rice had access to the records of surveillance of members of Trumps transsition team
Uranium One – is a Canadian uranium mining company with headquarters in Toronto, Ontario. It has operations in Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, South Africa and the United States. In January 2013 Rosatom, the Russian state-owned uranium monopoly, through its subsidiary ARMZ Uranium Holding, purchased the company at a value of $1.3 billion.[2] The purchase of the company by Russian interests is, as of October 2017, under investigation by the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Watergate (1972-74) – Mother of all scandals for political America. In part namegiver (gate) of many.
Miscellaneous
Political appointees – usually replaced when a new government, another party comes to power.
Collusion – the assumption that one or anther has conspired with enemies of the USA, usually Russia\
Deep State – Deep state was defined in 2014 by Mike Lofgren, a former Republican U.S. congressional aide, as “a hybrid association of elements of government and parts of top-level finance and industry that is effectively able to govern the United States without reference to the consent of the governed as expressed through the formal political process.
Drain the swamp – is the – rather traditional – battle cry president Trump used to announce his intention to counter Deep State and Democrat partisan machinations frustrating his governmental intentions.
Impeachment – the procedure to dispose the president of the USA. Has never been successfully completed, though Richard Nixon stpped down before it got that far. Bill Clinton survived one serious attempt over the Mica Lewinsky-affair. Donald Trump did survive two much less serious attenpts – so far.
Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) – the summary that is used to convince a FISA-court to allow the spying on American citizens, without further exposure of the facts or reports on which it is based. The contents of the ICA that was compiled to obtain a FISA-warrant for spying on Carter Page have not been revealed yet.
The Memo – Nunes memo produced by chairman Nunes of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Memo2 – memo produced by Congressman Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to counter The Memo produced by Nunes.
Midterms – Elections halfway a presidential term. The House is fully elected every two years, senators every six years. Next midterms are planned for november 6th 2018. These midterm elections will take place in the middle of Republican President Donald Trump’s term.

Neocons – originally a group of liberal hawks and conservative strategists that was convinced the USA should takeworld matters in it’s own hands. The group came to political prominence during the ’70’s and 80’s.
Neoneocons – my own neologism, to make a distinction between the original neocons and their political successors that dominated American Foreign Policy during the George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama-administrations.
NothingBurger – Many newsoutlets have tried to bring sensational news about the Russia probe, usually interlaced with their despise of president Trump. Nobody did that as worse as CNN, a newsoutlet that made it a habit to announce the most ridiculous claims, only to retract those towards the end of long articles on their newssite. This has become known as the NothingBurger.
Plea bargain – The plea bargain (also plea agreement, plea deal, copping a plea, or plea in mitigation) is any agreement in a criminal case between the prosecutor and defendant whereby the defendant agrees to plead guilty to a particular charge in return for some concession from the prosecutor. This may mean that the defendant will plead guilty to a less serious charge, or to one of the several charges, in return for the dismissal of other charges; or it may mean that the defendant will plead guilty to the original criminal charge in return for a more lenient sentence.

Nuttig “telefoon-boek”.
Maar voegt geen informatie toe.
Breitbart News Network is een duidelijke bron, in deze hele materie.
Absoluut nuttig in het zelf volgen van nieuwsbronnen uit Amerika over Russiagate. Dank
Ik ben er blij mee. Mochten er namen vallen in de (geweldige) artikelen van Hannibal, kan ik zo nodig even terugzoeken Wie/Wat die persoon ook alweer was. Dank je wel.
Dank hannibal.Heel mooi naslagwerk voor de komende rechtzaken tegen de obama en clinton gangsters.Hopelijk komen spoedig termen als ” federal state prison ” en “high treason ” erbij.
Een heel werk. Mijn complimenten. Ik heb er 2 artikelen over geschreven voor de EJBronsite maar het kostte me een enorme moeite om uit het woud van gebeurtenissen, personen en organisaties wijs te worden en een rode draad + kernpunten in de artikelen te zetten. Bovenstaande lijst is een mooi naslagwerk. Ben je ook van plan een tijdlijn op te zetten met gebeurtenissen?
Wat ik eigenlijk mis in bovenstaande lijst zijn de Sigarenboer Bill Clinton en de Clinton Foundation. Misschien heb ik het gemist of misschien heeft het niet direct hiermee te maken.
@D.g.Neree. Killbill clinton als gewezen president met overal een open deur , in samenzwering met de clintonfoundation zijn zelfs de spil in de corrupte russiangate.Zonder die zgn “stichting”en de presidentiële erfenis van aalgladde clinton kon dit nooit plaatsvinden ,
@D.G. Neree ea
Het was idd een hele klus, en gisteravond laat zag ik al dat ik een belangrijke alsnog vergeten was op te nemen (is intussen gebeurd). Bill C. is belangrijk, maar vooral ivm het tarmac-verleg met Lorette Lynch in Phoenix. Als het emailserverschandaal weer in het spel kom zet ik hem er alsnog (uitgebreider) bij.
De Clinton foundation staat bij de organisaties. Zoals je uit de kopjes kunt opmaken heb ik keuzes moeten maken hoe zaken te rubriceren. Alles alfabetisch op één hoop gooien was ook een optie, maar in verband met te verwachten resignations heb ik er voor gekozen een aantal zaken uiteen te trekken. Drie a vier mensen die dezelfde post bezetten wordt dan te ingewikkeld om te zien hoe zaken verliepen.
Een tijdlijn komt nog, maar gezien de ophef dit weekend over wanneer door de Russen wat werd gedaan (maandag een stuk over), zag ik al aankomen dat ik daar beter even mee wachten kon. Deze who is who wil ik blijven updaten
Zo dat is een hele lijst met veelal bekende namen .
Bedankt voor het inventariseren het is overzichtelijk geworden wie wat en waar met wie..
https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/02/fisa-scandal-clinton-obama-corruption-lawbreaking-whats-next-prosecution/
Gezien?
Bedankt voor het overzicht. Ter ondersteuning tref je hier een uitgebreide tiimeline tot december 2017:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-17/top-fbi-and-doj-officials-be-subpoenaed-mccabe-strzok-page-crosshairs.
In deze timeline tref je ook de volgende belangrijke spelers binnen de schakels FBI, DOJ en Fusion GPS/Steele:
-Bruce Ohr: former DOJ Associate Deputy Attorney General (for Transnational Organized Crime and International Affairs) and key adviser to the former DOJ Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.
-Nellie Ohr is the wife of Bruce Ohr and she was hired bij Fusion GPS. She worked together with Christopher Steele on the Russian Steele-dossier. (Nellie Ohr werkt ook voor de CIA)
@LT. Dank. Die hadden er idd direct al in moeten staan.
@Jan Nog niet, dank. Ga het zo meteen lezen.
Hannibal, het zijn ook zoveel namen en organisaties en bovendien van instituten die we in NL niet kennen dat ik over sommige heengelezen heb.
Misschien als zijdelings complot nog Pizzagate genoemd? Dat heropende meen ik het onderzoek naar Hillary’s emailserver. Daar komt ook Bill C. in zicht met zijn reisjes naar dat paradijselijke eiland. Even de naam kwijt.
bij sub-scandals
@D.G.Neree
Het onderzoek naar het emailserverschandaal werd heropend nadat men de laptop van Anthony Weiner (uitgebreid genoemd) mocht onderzoeken, en daar een groot deel van de vermiste Clinton-emails aantrof. Weiner is een sex-offender, maar een directe link met Pizzagate is dacht ik niet gelegd.
Ik snap wat je zegt over Pizzagate, en ik moet toegeven dat daar al meer uitgekomen is dan ik voor waarschijnlijk hield. Desondanks houd ik het hier voorlopig gescheiden van, aangezien het nog steeds te speculatief is. Er moet heel wat gebeuren eer dat uit de aluhoedjessfeer zal zijn gekomen. Er komt nog te weinig over naar buiten om met groot vertrouwen uitspraken over te doen.
@Hannibal. Toch een lichte voorkeur voor het woord ‘actors’ ipv ‘players’!?
Thnx, heb ik gewijzigd.
H.
Hannibal, je hebt gelijk. Pizzagate schijnt inderdaad op nogal vage aannames gebaseerd te zijn en voortgekomen uit A: het feit dat John Podesta onderzocht werd inzake kinderporno en B: het feit dat hij uitgenodigd was bij een spirit cooking performance. Een direct verband hiertussen en Russiagate (en het clinton team) is idd hiermee niet gelegd.
Mochten echter de sexuele voorkeur en perverse sympathieën van John Podesta bekend zijn geweest bij het Clinton/Obamateam, dan maakte dit hem bijzonder chantabel.
Excuses ik haalde John Podesta en Weinstein door elkaar. Vergeet maar wat ik geschreven heb en/of verwijder mijn reactie maar.
