Former CIA Operative Trapped In The Middle Of SpyGate?
[AND] The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) just released a new streaming ad featuring CIA officers on a mission to gather intelligence in support of the President and policymakers.

The mission, as portrayed, is familiar to those of us who served at the CIA. I spent most of my career, long before 9/11, in the CIA’s Counter-Terrorism Center (CTC). In Italy, I worked closely with Italian intelligence and law enforcement counterparts to keep Italian citizens safe.

Despite that, Italy issued arrest warrants against several Americans, including me. The source of the arrests concerned a joint counterterrorism operation — the Milan Rendition. While the operation may have been- unjustified, it had been approved by Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi’s office as well as the U.S. National Security Council (NSC). More on Milan a little later.

Timing is everything. The CIA’s recruitment ads will now run alongside SpyGate, the CIA’s "coup" to remove President Trump. SpyGate — a counterintelligence operation also known as "Crossfire Hurricane" — was run out of a "fusion cell" in CIA headquarters by President Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan. "Counterintelligence" (CI) was the CIA’s weapon of choice in the absence of corroborated intelligence. A counterintelligence label deterred investigations and allowed for "overclassification" of non-evidence.

Recently declassified SpyGate documents revealed systemic abuses of power within the leadership of the CIA and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Americans are now aware that the CIA employed "tools" generally reserved for use against our foreign adversaries, to spy on President Trump and to entrap several Americans in his orbit. Shockingly, the CIA went so far as to obtain the cooperation of our "allies" the U.K. and Italy in this endeavor.

Trump’s NSC Director — Lt. General Michael Flynn — was specifically targeted, after publically stating his intention to sort out the intelligence agencies for their unchecked abuses of power.

General Flynn was certainly familiar with the Milan Rendition, because of the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) inexcusable decision to allow the conviction of a U.S. Air Force Colonel by a NATO ally — Italy — thereby violating the military’s code of "leave no soldier behind."

More than a decade ago, as soon as an Italian prosecutor announced his decision to launch an investigation into the rendition, CIA’s managers moved swiftly to have their identities masked as well as moving to have information removed from trial records. Evidence that this actually happened, is buried in footnotes in Italian court documents.
