The Ann & Phelim Scoop

The environmental celebrity activists are at it again! Actor Martin Sheen was arrested at a “Fire Drill Friday” protest put on by his Hollywood cohort Jane Fonda. We take a listen to his “climate protest” speech and find out why he was an actor on The West Wing, rather than a writer.

Speaking of celebrities and climate change activism, we talk about the latest developments in “Megxit,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to leave their position as “Senior Royals” and split their time between Great Britain and North America. Talk about a big carbon footprint!   

On the podcast, we cover the most popular Farsi tweet on the planet - from President Trump! It may very well lead to a nightmare scenario for the far left in America. In other positive news, President Trump is rolling back onerous environmental regulations - and the New York Times isn’t happy about it.

It’s been a busy week at the Unreported Story Society.  Phelim talks about his recent run in with the Los Angeles “homeless” population and how he managed to stop a thief escape with a very expensive piece of property in Santa Monica -- and we have it all on video.   On this first episode of 2020, we also look back to the past year and discuss our “best of” lists and the moments we’d most like to remember (or forget!) from 2019.   Last year, Hollywood released some wonderful (and not-so-wonderful) films. Our favorite is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. And did you hear that a Canadian broadcast company edited Donald Trump out of the Christmas movie Home Alone? They claim there was an innocent explanation but Phelim and Ann are skeptical.

In the final chapter of the report Inspector General Michael Horowitz's makes his recommendations to prevent a reoccurrence of the FBI misconduct that was uncovered in the Crossfire Hurricane/Russia investigation.  If you've listened to this report with us, you'll see how Crossfire Hurricane was an unprecedented and apparently politically motivated investigation that violated the rights of private citizens.  It also revealed how the FBI infiltrated a political campaign during an election as senior FBI agents wrote about stopping a candidate from being elected. Do Horowitz's recommendations have the teeth needed to prevent a repeat of what happened? Even the Inspector General admits that, "current Department and FBI policies are not sufficient to ensure appropriate oversight and accountability. . ."

This is the most compelling chapter. It lays out in shocking detail all the malfeasance of the Deep State. Learn what the Inspector General thinks about Christopher Steele's relationship with the FBI, the 17 "errors and omissions" in the FISA application, Bruce Ohr's conflicts of interest, and the use of undercover agents in the "Russia collusion" investigation. You cannot read this chapter without coming to the conclusion that this was a political investigation. However, the Inspector General takes a much weaker approach. Is he correct? Tune in now!

In Chapter 10, we learn about the FBI's use of Confidential Human Sources (CHSs). The report found that, while the Crossfire Hurricane team did not place any CHSs or UCEs (Undercover Employees) in the Trump 2016 campaign, several of their CHSs and UCEs frequently interacted with three Trump campaign officials, allowing them to penetrate and monitor a political campaign. Also, we find out that the Supervisory Special Agent (SSA 1) in charge of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation gave an FBI briefing to candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the campaign cycle without disclosing his position within the investigation. He used the briefing as an intelligence gathering exercise on the candidate Trump and the Trump campaign.

In Chapter 9 we learn how Bruce Ohr a former Associate Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice maintained secret communications with Christopher Steele after Steele was fired as an FBI source.   We also learn that Ohr's wife worked for Fusion GPS who commissioned Christopher Steele to create the Steele Dossier which contained the fake information that allowed the FBI to monitor and secretly record members of the Trump election team during the campaign.  It is also revealed  that Bruce Ohr also had an an ongoing relationship with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson.   According to Steele, he and Ohr also discussed Steele's concerns about a potential Trump victory.  Chapter 9 also reveals how Ohr downplayed his connections with Steele  when he was talking to Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General - who said he was "shocked" when the full details emerged.

Chapter 8 reveals that the Inspector General found 17 "omissions and errors" made by the FBI as they applied for FISA warrants to wiretap and monitor Trump campaign worker Carter Page.  The FBI's "errors" even included fraudulently altering documents!  Additionally, this chapter reveals additional holes in the Steele Dossier.  In fact, FBI interviews with Steele and his sources showed serious discrepancies between his reporting and the statements of his sources but these discrepancies were hidden from the FISA court. Don't miss this pivotal chapter of the Inspector General's Report!
