WASHINGTON—A top FBI official who helped oversee two politically sensitive investigations related to the 2016 presidential campaign is retiring from government service.
Bill Priestap, who currently serves as assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s counterintelligence division, will leave his post by the end of the year. Mr. Priestap, a 20-year veteran of the bureau, worked on organized crime and drug cases in Chicago before rising through the national security ranks of the agency after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Mr. Priestap’s retirement is unrelated to the controversies over the handling of the 2016 investigations, according to a person familiar with the matter. He “became eligible to retire and has chosen to do so after 20 years of service,” the FBI said in a statement.
Special counsel Robert Mueller on Tuesday asked a federal court for no prison time for President Trump‘s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, citing his “substantial assistance” in the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
In a court filing late Tuesday, Mueller said it would be “appropriate” for the judge to impose a sentence for Flynn that does not include prison time. Federal sentencing guidelines called for Flynn to be sentenced to between zero and six months in prison and face up to a $9,500 fine.
“The offense level and guideline range, however, do not account for a downward departure pursuant to Section 5K1.1 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines reflecting the defendants substantial assistance to the government, which the government has moved for contemporaneously,” Mueller’s prosecutors wrote in a filing on Monday.
More than 400 former officials and attorneys from the Department of Justice (DOJ) have signed a letter opposing acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and calling for him to be replaced, saying that they are “disturbed” by his appointment.
The DOJ alumni, who say they have worked in several past administrations under presidents from both parties, note in the open letter that Whitaker hasn’t been confirmed by the Senate and that he hasn’t been “fully vetted” for potential conflicts of interests.
“The Attorney General is responsible for ensuring that we are a nation of laws and that every citizen and every government official — including the President himself — is equally subject to those laws,” the letter reads.
“Because of the profound responsibilities the position entails and the independence it requires, it can only be filled by someone who has been subjected to the strictest scrutiny under the process required by the Constitution,” it adds.
i decided to explore the 8chn boards to see what this Qdrop from earlier today was about – watch sean hannity tonight at 9pm. i saw people speaking of tonight’s show and how hannity glorified #41. [wp-svg-icons icon=”tongue” wrap=”i”] turned my stomach so i decided to explore further. first the tweet looked strange – turns out it isn’t an authentic potus account – no blue check mark. and second – well just follow some of the links below. i still haven’t a clue what it was in reference to nor why it would be shared given it isn’t an authentic twitter account of POTUS. too much for me to look into any further. that being said – if you are interested and have a twitter account – you can go to POTUS account and see the 22 second video he linked honoring #41 where there were no pictures of #41 – no pictures of his family – and most of it was POTUS walking up to the casket and giving a quick salute. just found that interesting…..anyway below is the link of the discussion taking place on that particular drop….

A Vision for Lifting the Veil of Tyranny
We see a world where all men and women everywhere are now aware of the true powers who seek to regulate and control life on this planet; where the veil has been lifted and all the schemes and agendas of those who would manipulate us for their own selfish purposes is clearly made known to humanity en masse; where all off-planet energies and beings who have taken part in the control of the human race, as well as the pillaging of planet Earth, have come to light so that the chain of command, the thread of tyranny, from a cosmic perspective is like an open book for all to read.
Now we are aware that our presidents and politicians answer to bankers and businesspeople who answer to greater Earthly powers who answer to even greater otherworldly and multidimensional powers, and so on.
Thus, we of the human race are made privy to every and all energies who have sought to puppet us and, now, with all such information having been brought to light, we are no longer able to be manipulated, but instead we are free to live out our own destiny without the interference and intrusion of others regardless of where they come from.

I Q Test for Democrats and News Anchors & #SpyGate – Collusion Scandal Bigger than Watergate [Part 1/2] Those Involved to Take Down Trump
I Q Test for Democrats and News Anchors
1. If Trump is part of the Global Elite why do the lame stream media owned by the Global Elite, politicians who sold out to the Global Elite viciously slander and attack him? Is it because he is not one of them, not part of the club? Who’s character and ignorance is being established?
2. Why did Muller choose all democrats and major donors to the democratic party to be on his team? Are there any Republicans?
3. Why has Muller ignored extreme Russian Collusion by the democrats, use the false Russian dossier as the bases for the FISA warrants and foundation for the special council. Was this paid for by Hilary? Why has he ignored the extreme bias within the Special Council, FBI and DOJ? If the Dossier is false, the FISA warrants were based on false information, the Special Council was created based on false information then the whole investigation has no foundation and is false.
4. Why has he turned a blind eye to Uranium One where the Clinton foundation was paid 145 million and Bill got 500,000 in speaking fees from the very same Russian group that bought the Uranium.
5. What was Mullers role in Uranium One? Did he take the samples to Russia to seal the deal? Could this be why he won’t address the real Russian collusion by Hilary and company?
6. What is the role of the corporate sponsored media in refusing to look into the origin of the Russian Dossier, who paid for it, who lied about it to congress, etc. Why wont the corporate sponsored media cover Uranium One where over 20% of our Uranium was sold to Russia with Hilary’s stamp of approval? Who else was involved?
7. What happened to the Ranchers forced off their land to mine the Uranium? Who was behind that and was murder part of the plan with Levoy Finnican?
8. Why has the corporate sponsored media ignored the child trafficking, pedophile networks being exposed, who are the major players and why are arrests being made with church officials and increasing political officials even Hollywood not being covered? Is there a pedophile problem within the main stream media, their owners and sponsors? Possibly some strange rituals going on?
9. What happens when the boarders are secured to the drug and child trafficking? Are there over 600 felons, gang members in the Caravan as Homeland Security has discovered? If so why open the boarder to that possibility?
10. Why is it anti-Semitic to talk about George Soros who has an admitted history of Nazi collaboration against his own people? How can Antifa claim anti Nazi when being funded by George Soros an admitted Nazi by his own words? Isn’t Fascism not allowing others to speak, express their opinions, resorting to violence? Soros also funds open boarders how did that work out for Europe? Sweden? Germany? How does the race card bring people together? Could the real agenda be chaos, destroy cultures, infrastructures. Does this fit into the Global Elite modes operandi? Create the problem, watch the reaction become the solution, the Hegelian Dialect.
11. Who funds, owns and chooses the content for the Washington Post, NY Times, CNN, NSMBC etc. Has there been leaking, collaboration against the duly elected President Elect? CNN sounds like Clinton News Network. Have they been fair or extremely bias?
12. Which major social media platforms have been given massive government contracts? Who gives them their marching orders and should they not be called government media? Are they fair and non-bias? Do they censor groups that do not support their beliefs or their owner’s beliefs?
13. Last but not least how did socialism work out in the past? Do they teach real History in schools? If everyone wants a free ride who pays for it? If people were all service oriented and had others highest and best good in mind a form of socialism would work. We are not there, those with a sense of entitlement become tyrants, tyrants rise to positions of power. How do they maintain that power? By the suppression of and theft from the people beneath them. Solutions.
Everything begins in consciousness. An unhealed and ignorant society cannot operate within the rules and regulations of a highly evolved society. We need to heal the wounds, traumas and wrong conclusions from past experience. In short release the past. We need to educate ourselves through other sources other than mainstream academia which has an agenda other than truth. We need to know about our true origins, the origins of religions, and our past so as not to repeat a failed experiment. We need to go back to a divinely inspired document, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution as a step towards Universal Law. First and foremost we need to hold all leaders within, political, religious, and business institutions accountable for transgressions outside of the rule of law, our divine rights as spelled out in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Almost every agency has been infiltrated, usurped and strayed away from its original intent and mandate. They have become weaponized by the power elite and no longer serve the people. All agencies need to go back to their original mandate and intent staying within the Constitution and Bill of Rights or a return to Common Law. It was said we gave you a Republic the question is can you keep it. We didn’t. We are not a democracy or United States Inc. we are a Republic. The power is with the people in a Republic not within a Hierarchial Power structure inserted by the Power Elite. It is a patriarchal system based on power and wealth void of the divine feminine. This is also known as the Deep State and it needs to be dismantled. Advanced Civilizations
Advanced civilizations operate under Universal Law. Universal Peace, Brother/Sisterly Love, Individual Freedom and Prosperity for all. They see the Creator in all Creation. They are in service to Creation and assist those less fortunate to evolve to their highest potential. When one reaches their highest potential they give back to the whole understanding the nature of Unity Consciousness. Nature is highly valued and preserved, the quality of their food is also one of the highest priorities. This creates a quantum leap in consciousness and evolution. If we are going to become an advance civilization we need to adopt these principles.
editor victoria’s comment ~ wanted to mention something about fulford’s latest – how bush was not really “bush” – no relation to prescott/bush “dynasty” – but was a nazi spy brought over by the cia (OSS). fulford’s info aligns w/sainted anon’s latest video last night (12/2)…
Okay. Is the plot moving forward? I think we all understand the characters and conflict at this point. Time for the plot twist? Declas, FINALLY?

The President of the United States initiated and confirmed the order when he stated “The Calm Before the Storm.”
When was the statement made?
When did “Q” go active?
Watch the News.
Watch the FBI.
Watch the DOJ.
Q
In what future historians will look back on as a huge watershed event, the P2 Freemasons—worshipers of the Black Sun and creators of both fascism and communism—are suing for peace, White Dragon Society sources say. This, coming with the removal of the Rothschild family from control of central banks, means the world is about to enter uncharted historical waters.
The P2 Freemasons are proposing that the world “be led by a triumvirate of the sons of the Black Sun, the sons of big Horus, and sons of the Dragon,” according to the proposal conveyed by Vincenzo Mazzara, a cavalier of the Teutonic Knights and the most senior P2 member to contact the WDS.
The “sons of the Black Sun” refers to the P2 Freemasons, who give orders to the Pope and the world’s 1.5 million or so Catholics. The “sons of big Horus” refers to the eye at the top of the pyramid on the U.S. one-dollar bill, presumably referring to non-P2 Freemasons such as the Scotch Rite and Grand Orient who control much of the English- and French-speaking world. The “sons of the Dragon” refers to Asian secret societies who control most of East Asia.
At this point, most readers are probably, and rightly so, appalled at the idea of three secret societies colluding in order to continue to rule in secret. The WDS, of course, wants everything to be open and with full public participation. Nonetheless, the P2 are powerful; they told us in advance they were going to fire Pope “Maledict” (Benedict XVI) and they did so. The P2 also bragged to the WDS that they were the ones responsible for staging the March 11, 2011 Fukushima tsunami and nuclear mass-murder terror incident. Thus, the fact that they are now suing for peace means they know the dragnet is finally closing in on them.
This move is also intimately related to the announcement that Nazi Fourth Reich Fuhrer George H.W. Scherff (Bush) is dead. As Pentagon sources put it, “While the G20 was prepping the world for a global currency reset, 41st President Bush Sr. expired on 11/30 because 11+30=41.” In fact, Bush Sr. died in June, but the announcement was delayed until all the preparations were made to arrest senior Nazionist (Khazarian mafia) underlings like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the sources say.
This is why U.S. President Donald Trump retweeted this famous image on November 27th with the label, “Now that Russia collusion is a proven lie, when do the trials for treason begin?”
The answer to that question, Pentagon sources say is that …

editor victoria’s note: ok so the testimony of huber is delayed because of the funeral. my question is (obvious) – didn’t the white hats see that coming? IF this death was a planned execution, why not wait until after December 5th? would like to see some intel on that instead of elusive puzzle pieces. oh well ~ trust the plan – and what do i know? military/war game planning isn’t my thing (at least in this cycle – i have a feeeeeel i have done similar long ago). meanwhile i continue to have less interest in all of this and more interest in what’s going on within ME and Home.
i am highly intrigued by the “transparency is the only way forward” words…makes me think we will see MUCH more full-size puzzles coming out now as well as media accountability.
here’s some info on the “rule” as listed below ~ a game of statistics. ugh – i remember that class in college. i actually did much better in stats as i did calculus.
68-95-99.7 rule
In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within a band around the mean in a normal distribution with a width of one, two, and three standard deviations, respectively; more accurately, 68.27%, 95.45% and 99.73% of the values lie within one, two and three standard deviations of the mean, respectively.More at Wikipedia
The public is about to learn that the DOJ, FBI, + other US/Foreign assets have been actively working behind the scenes in one of the largest criminal investigations in modern day history.
