 President Trump: 'We Caught Them'
- Senate Memo Drops The Biggest Bombshells
While All Eyes Were On The House Memo
- The Brilliant And Ultimate Bait And Switch
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline
February 6, 2018
For the past two weeks all eyes have been on the House
Intelligence Committee's FISA abuse memo, first when
they committee voted to allow all House members to see it,
despite all Democrats on the committee voting against the
measure, then the #ReleaseTheMemo campaign which
resulted in another vote to allow all Americans to see it,
until finally it was released.
Under the radar, amidst the chaos surrounding the House
memo, the Senate Judiciary Committee quietly battled
9
with the Justice Department to get their criminal referral
details against Christopher Steele released to the public.
The final eight-page declassified document is heavily
redacted with the majority of whole pages blacked out in
some cases, but what can be seen, shows far more damning
information than what was contained in the House memo.
While the House memo did show a number of disturbing
fact patterns, specifically that the unverified, Kremlin
sourced Steele dossier, which was funded by the DNC and
the Hillary Clinton campaign, was used to obtain a FISA
warrant to surveil the Trump campaign, telling the court
there was a political bias, but not informing the court who
funded the dossier, what the Senate document shows, even
with the redactions, is there was a second Steele dossier
created, where foreign sources fed information to a Hillary
and Bill Clinton associate, who then fed that information
to Obama State Department official, who then handed it
over to Christopher Steele.
Furthermore, one of the things not redacted in the criminal
referral memo is that in late September 2016, Steele claims
that at the behest of Fusion GPS, who was paid by the
Clinton campaign and the DNC, Steele was shopping this
information obtained by Clinton allies, from foreign sub-
sources, given to Steele by Obama State Department
officials, to the New York Times, Washington Post, Yahoo
News, The New Yorker and CNN.
Via Page 4-5 of the Senate Judiciary Committee's
declassified criminal referral against Steele, states the
following:
(U) In Steele's sworn court filings in litigation in
London, he admitted that he "gave off the record
briefings to a small number of journalists about
the pre-election memoranda [i.e., the dossier] in
late summer/autumn 2016." In another sworn filing in
that case, Mr. Steele further stated that journalists
from "the New York Times, the Washington Post,
Yahoo News, the New Yorker, and CNN" were
"briefed at the end of September 2016 by [Steele]
and Fusion at Fusion's instruction." The filing
further states that Mr. Steele subsequently
participated in further meetings at Fusion's
instruction with Fusion and the New York Times,
the Washington Post, and Yahoo News, which
took place mid-October 2016. According to these
court filings "[t]he briefings involved the disclosure of
limited intelligence regarding indications of Russian
interference in the U.S. election process and the
possible coordination of members of Trump's
campaign team and Russian government officials." In
his interview with the Committee, Glenn Simpson of
Fusion GPS confirmed this account by Mr. Steele and
his company as filed in British court."
him not being president.' This clear
evidence of Steele's bias was recorded by
Ohr at the time and subsequently in the
official FBI files-but not reflected in any of
the Page FISA applications."
In other words, while liberals and the media are making a
big deal about the fact that the FISA application did
mention "opposition" funding for the Steele dossier, they
did not mention it was the Clinton campaign and the DNC
specifically that funded it, nor did they tell the FISA judge
that the man that created the dossier had an extreme bias
against Donald Trump, which they knew and had noted in
their files, nor that it was Clinton political activists that
passed information from foreign sub-sources to an Obama
State Department, which gave it to Steele.
In Cincinnati, President Trump addressed the new
information from the memos, saying
"Oh, but did we catch them in the act or
what? You know what I’m talking about.
Oh, did we catch them in the act? They are
very embarrassed.They never thought
they’d get caught. We caught them. We
caught them. It’s so much fun. We’re like
the great sleuth."

It is not surprising to those of us that have been paying

attention that it was Clinton political activists that created
the whole Russia collusion narrative, as we can see articles
about Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta accusing
the Trump campaign of working in cohoots with Russia
from October 2016, just as the Clinton allies were passing
information to the Obama State Department official, who Related Reading:

with Russia and the Clinton campaign to manufacture a
Russian collusion propaganda campaign. I further contend
that they, and other senior members of the FBI and DOJ
under Obama, were willing to do anything, commit any
crime, doctor any evidence, and lie to the FISA court to
overturn the 2016 presidential election and destroy
President Trump.
The way the House Intelligence Committee timed their
memo release, in a manner where it sucked up all the
oxygen in the room, or to more accurately phrase it, forced
Democratic politicians to push out all their hot air, where
it then dominated all the headlines, leaving this Senate
memo to come out without fanfare, no push back and no
time or room to pre-emptively spin the information, was
the ultimate bait and switch.

Brilliantly done.

This writer agrees, to a point. His benefit of the doubt to

the senior-most level members of the FBI, in my opinion,
is much too generous, since the information contained
within the House memo, and the recently released,
redacted Senate Judiciary Committee's criminal referral
against Christopher Steele, was available to the FBI and
other U.S. intelligence agencies, before it was even handed
over to the Senate or House oversight committees.

I contend they knew the Russia collusion narrative was a

hoax, and given the clear bias shown in the texts between
FBI agent Peter Strzok, who played key roles in both the
Hillary Clinton private server/email investigation and the Via the House memo on next page:

 WOW! Trey Gowdy Strongly Implies Sidney Blumenthal
Was A Source For Steele’s Anti-Trump Dossier
By Joshua Caplan
February 6, 2018, 7:32 Pm
Outgoing Republican Congressman Trey
Gowdy (R-SC) strongly implied to Fox News
host Martha MacCallum Tuesday evening
that Clinton confidant, Sidney Blumenthal,
was a source for Christopher Steele’s anti-
Trump dossier.
Partial transcript via POLITICO:
During an interview on Fox News, Gowdy was asked by
Fox News’ Martha MacCallum about whether
.
13
“weeks before the election, somebody in the
Obama State Department was feeding
information from a foreign source to Christopher
Steele.”
“When you hear who the source, one of the
sources of that information is, you’re going to
think, oh, my gosh, I’ve heard that name
somewhere before. Where could it possibly
have been,” Gowdy replied.
When asked whether it was a foreign source, the South
Carolina Republican said it was domestic.
“I’m trying to think of how Secretary Clinton
defined him. I think she said he was an old
friend who emailed her from time to time,”
Gowdy said.
When asked whether it was Blumenthal, Gowdy said:
“That would be really warm. You’re warm.”
In a letter released Monday, Senators Chuck Grassley (R-
IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) suggested Clinton
contacts fed information to former British spy and dossier
author Christopher Steele.
“Another connection to the second dossier,
according to several sources who spoke to this
reporter, is close friend and advisor to Hillary
Clinton, Sidney Blumenthal,” reported Sara
Carter.
Carter previously reported Blumenthal was grilled by the
FBI in 2016 in connection to the Steele dossier.
Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm behind the
discredited Steele dossier, is still investigating alleged ties
between President Trump and Russia, Carter reported last
month.
 Sean Hannity Warns Comey And Christopher Steele:
Call Your Lawyers Immediately “TICK TOCK”
By Cristina Laila
February 6, 2018, 7:39 Pm
Fox News’ Sean Hannity read fired FBI
Director James Comey his Miranda Rights
after the FISA memo was released.
On Tuesday evening, Hannity gave dossier author and
James Comey some advice: Call your lawyers
immediately.
Sean Hannity is speaking with investigative reporter Sara
Carter Tuesday evening. She may have some bombshell
news about the dossier and future memos.
Hannity tweeted Tuesday evening,
“Christopher Steele and @Comey, my advice is
to call your lawyers immediately. Full report on
Hannity in 32 minutes. Tick tock tick tock ….”
14
The House Intelligence Committee released their classified
FISA memo on Friday morning.
The memo revealed fired FBI Director James Comey
misled the FISA court.
On January 5th, Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley
(R-IA) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sent a letter to
Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher
Wray demanding they investigate if Christopher Steele lied
to federal authorities.
The letter was the first criminal referral from Congress.
On January 26th, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck
Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sent
a batch of letters to DNC leaders demanding information
regarding their interactions with dossier author Christopher
Steele.
The batch of letters were sent to former DNC chairwoman
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former interim DNC
chairwoman Donna Brazile, current DNC chair, Tom
Perez, former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta
and former Clinton campaign chief strategist Joel
Benenson.
It is being reported that several memos will be released
and the worst is yet to come.

 DEVELOPING=> Sen. Grassley Releases
‘MUCH-LESS REDACTED’ Version Of ‘Memo 2.0’
By Joshua Caplan
February 6, 2018, 8:27 Pm

On Tuesday, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
released a “much-less redacted,” version of
this week’s criminal referral — also known
as memo 2.0 — of former British intelligence
officer Christopher Steele.
Page three of the report reveals,
“”The FBI stated to the FISC that “based on
[Steele’s] previous history with the FBI, whereby
[Steele] provided reliable information to the FBI,
the FBI believe [Steele’s] reporting to be
credible.””

Below are screenshots of both the redacted and much-less

redacted versions of Grassley’s report.

Translation, the FBI believed Steele’s dossier was credible

mainly because of his reputation, not due to the
information itself.
As Breitbart News reporter Kristina Wong points out, the
FISA application did not disclose

“that the identities of Mr. Simpson’s ultimate

clients were the Clinton campaign and the
DNC.”

16
Independent researcher Brian Cates summed up the less-
redacted memo in a series of tweets.

As Security Studies’ Nick Short pointed out, either the

FISA applications are “either materially false,” in stating
Christopher Steele claimed he did not hand over the
dossier information to the media before October, 2016, or
the former British spy lied to the FBI.

 Nets Spend 2x More Airtime
On Dow Drop Than Market Rebound
By Nicholas Fondacaro
February 6, 2018 8:50 PM EST
When the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down
nearly 1,200 points on Monday, the three major network
news outlets (ABC, CBS, and NBC) dedicated nearly 10
minutes of combined coverage to the drop when they
began their evening broadcasts. 24 hours later, the market
bounced back and closed with a 500-point rebound, but the
networks spent roughly half as much time on the positive
news.
On Monday, all three of the liberal networks covered the
drop as their lead story with none of them giving it less
than three minutes. ABC’s World News Tonight had a
solid three minutes; CBS Evening News with three minutes
and five seconds; NBC Nightly News devoted the most
with a panicked three minutes, 40 seconds. The combined
total was nine minutes and 45 seconds.
18
A common thread through all of their Dow plunge stories
was an irritation at Trump for touting the stock market as a
sign of his presidential success.
Tuesday’s market trading was like a roller coaster, but it
closed on a notable 500-point upswing. But that positive
turn around was not the networks’ top story of the evening.
All three networks kicked off their evening newscasts with
the impressive Space X launch of their Falcon Heavy
rocket topped with a Tesla Roadster.
In all, the networks spent less than five minutes on the
upswing collectively (four minutes and 58 seconds to be
exact). CBS and NBC reported the Dow’s climb
immediately following their launch coverage. And they
both had a noticeable decrease in the time dedicated to the
Dow: two minutes, 20 seconds and 2 minutes, 16 seconds
respectively. ABC’s rebound coverage was the most
shocking since it wasn’t brought up until much later in the
program and was only talked about for 22 seconds.
The networks’ hyper-focus on the Dow’s market
correction but not the rebound was a part of their trend of
largely ignoring how well stocks and investments were
doing in general. According to the Media Research
Center study by Julia A. Seymour, the networks have
censored 75 percent of the Dow’s record-breaking since
the start of 2017.

On Tuesday, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released a

“much-less redacted,” version of this week’s criminal
referral — also known as memo 2.0 — of former British
intelligence officer Christopher Steele.

Carter reports:

A new and highly redacted document released

Monday by the Senate Judiciary Committee
reveals that former British spy Christopher
Steele, the man behind the unverified and
controversial dossier, wrote an additional memo
regarding alleged Russian collusion with
President Donald Trump but that the

 COMEY IN HOT WATER=> FBI Misled FISA Court By
Omitting Christopher Steele LIED About His Contact With
Media Outlets (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
February 6, 2018, 9:56 Pm

On Tuesday, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
released a “much-less redacted,” version of
the Senate Judiciary Committee’s criminal
referral of dossier author Christopher
Steele.
Comey is in hot water. The unredacted memo reveals the
FBI misled the FISA court about Christopher Steele’s
contacts with the media outlets.
On September 23rd 2016, Michael Isikoff of Yahoo
News ran a story about Trump’s campaign advisor Carter
Page and his possible ‘secret channels’ to Russia. Not only
did this Yahoo article come from Christopher Steele, it
was used in the FISA application to obtain a FISA warrant.
It is a crime to lie to the FBI. (unless you’re Hillary
Clinton).
Ed Henry of Fox News reported:
“The Grassley memo tonight now goes on to
say that in fact the FBI then went back after
learning that Christopher Steele misrepresented
things and did talk to the media–the FBI never
disclosed that to the FISA court and kept going
back for renewals of the surveillance warrant
and didn’t say to the court look things have
changed, we no longer think he’s reliable–he
lied to us and spoke to the media.
VIDEO:

According to the Senate Judiciary criminal referral, Steele

lied to the FBI about his contacts with the media such as
Yahoo News and Mother Jones. Steele previously told the
FBI that he had not spoken to the media.

Grassley reveals the FBI KNEW Steele lied about his

contact with media outlets, yet they DID NOT disclose
this very pertinent information to the FISA court.

On January 5th, Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley

(R-IA) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sent a letter to
Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher
Wray demanding they investigate if Christopher Steele lied
to federal authorities.
The letter was the first criminal referral from Congress.
Sean Hannity taunted James Comey on Tuesday evening.

The FBI misled the FISA court yet again about their
rockstar dossier author Christopher Steele.

 Chairman Nunes Reveals JOHN KERRY
Was Briefed On ‘Second Dossier’ (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
February 6, 2018, 10:41 Pm
As previously reported, former British
intelligence agent and author of the Fusion
GPS dossier, Christopher Steele, penned a
separate memo on then-candidate Donald
Trump, based on information given to him
by a Hillary Clinton contact and unnamed
Obama State Department official.
Chairman Nunes (R-CA) spoke with Fox News host Laura
Ingraham Tuesday evening after Grassley released a less
redacted version of the Senate Judiciary memo on
Christopher Steele.
Nunes said the first phase of the House Intel investigation
was the FISA abuse and the next phase is looking at the
irregularities at Obama’s State Department.
Chairman Nunes revealed John Kerry had been briefed on
the ‘second dossier’.
” There were comments over the weekend from
people from within the State Department that
said John Kerry had been briefed on the
dossier–the new dossier whatever this new
dossier is and that they also provided it to the
FBI,” Nunes said.
VIDEO:
.
23
Former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova also
said on Tuesday evening to Laura Ingraham
that Obama State Department officials
helped feed the FBI false information
through dossier author Christopher Steele.
Such information was then used by the FBI
to obtain FISA warrants to surveil the Trump
campaign.
DiGenova:
The Grassley-Graham memo establishes
beyond any doubt that the FBI knowingly
deceived the FISA court about the information it
was presenting to them, lied to them about the
fact that it was verified information, which it was
not — which the law requires. And now we
know that additional Clinton allies, including
Sidney Blumenthal, were involved in the
transmission of false information, unverified
information to the FBI through State
Department officials. Somebody’s going to have
to go to prison.”
In a letter released Monday, Senators Chuck Grassley (R-
IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) revealed Steele complied
an anti-Trump memo based on information given to him
by a Hillary Clinton contact and Obama State Department
official.
The fish rots from the head down. The corruption leads all
the way up to Obama’s desk.
 Bozell & Graham Column: Treason?
A Common Liberal Accusation
By Brent Bozell and Tim Graham
February 6, 2018 10:57 PM EST
President Trump heard someone yell “treason” in the
audience at a speech in Cinncinati as he mentioned the
Democratic pouting at the State of the Union address.
“Somebody said, treasonous,” he mused. “I
mean, yeah, I guess, why not?”
Meltdown.
The media outrage was summarized by CNN analyst
Jeffrey Toobin:
“It is so grotesque! It is so appalling...I just
wonder what the cost is, in terms of the
future of our civic discourse!”
At this point we should just start laughing at the press.
These self-appointed watchdogs of the “civic discourse”
weren’t a bit outraged when liberals tossed that T-word
like a Frisbee at anyone criticizing President Obama. Here
are just a few examples.
– June 11, 2014: CNN anchor Carol Costello brought on
leftist Cliff Schecter to promote his article suggesting
leaders of the National Rifle Association were “treasonous
and murderous.” Costello could only add: “Um, I don’t
know. That’s really strong.”
– July 9, 2014: MSNBC host Michael Eric Dyson went
ballistic over Sarah Palin’s suggestion that Obama be
impeached: "The President's push towards positive and
crucial change was met with treasonous accusations."
– June 27, 2015: The Daily Beast posted an article on
dissenters in the Supreme Court’s gay-marriage decision:
24
“Did The Four Dissenting Justices In Gay Marriage Case
Just Suggest Treason?” Contributor Jay Michaelson
suggested anyone criticizing the court majority created a
“shocking display of treason.”
– October 1, 2015: Leftist radio talker Thom Hartmann
was incensed that anyone could consider Kevin McCarthy
for House speaker, citing some Republican inauguration-
night conspiracy to deny Obama any success. “They have
committed treason. Maybe not the kind of treason that is
elevated to the level of a prosecution or firing squad....a
moral treason.”
In fact, this liberal treason talk just kept going under
Trump, but he became the perpetrator.
– March 2, 2017: CNN contributor Maria Cardona, on
Attorney General Jeff Sessions: “He knows he is smack in
the middle of this investigation having to do with perhaps
treasonous activities by the Trump campaign.”
– March 28, 2017: MSNBC anchor Kate Snow brought on
liberal historian Douglas Brinkley, promoting his quote:
“You told the Washington Post last week that, quote,
‘There’s a smell of treason in the air,’ when it comes to
this [Russia] investigation.”
– May 11, 2017, On ABC’s “The View,” co-host Joy
Behar screeched about the press being barred from a
Trump meeting with Russian foreign minister Sergei
Lavrov: “This is treason to me! This is un-American!”
– June 25, 2017: Hollywood director Rob Reiner
uncorked treason as a Twitter hashtag. “When Fox says
that DT colluding with the enemy is not a crime, the fight
to save Democracy is now an all out war. US-Stay strong.
#Treason”
– July 18, 2017: Former MSNBC star Keith Olbermann
tweeted in reply to the president asserting most people in
politics would have met a foreign official to get negative
information on their opponent: “Sure! Benedict Arnold
would have. And Aaron Burr. And Charles Lindbergh.
And Quisling. And Marshal Petain. That's politics!
Annnnnd treason!”
Speaking of “grotesque” and “appalling” overstatements,
let’s consult the accuser himself, Jeffrey Toobin,
responding on CNN on January 3, 2018 to Steve Bannon
suggesting Donald Trump Jr was treasonous: “The idea
that people involved in an American presidential campaign
.
would greedily reach out to the Russian government for
dirt on their opponent, as Donald Trump Jr. and company
did, does feel treasonous in a sort of colloquial sense.”
Liberals are the worst hypocrites on “civic discourse.”

When asked why Special Counsel Mueller was given such
a broad jurisdiction to basically investigate whatever he
wants under the guise of the ‘Russia investigation’, Gowdy
confirmed it was Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
who was the mastermind behind the language giving
Mueller broad jurisdiction to go on a fishing excursion.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed

the special counsel began his work. So you
don’t have any fear of that here?” Martha
MacCallum asked Gowdy referencing the
Special Counsel who investigated former
president Bill Clinton.
Gowdy responded by saying he believes Special Counsel
Mueller has already gone off course and said the person to
blame for that would be Rod Rosenstein because he is the
mastermind behind giving Mueller broad jurisdiction.
Mueller is also to blame. He knows full well Hillary
Clinton’s phony dossier sparked the ‘Russia investigation’.
.
Robert Mueller as Special Counsel on May 17th, 2017 to
investigate ‘Trump-Russia’ collusion during the 2016
election.
In reality, Rosenstein was desperate to hide the fact that he
misled the FISA court when he signed off on a FISA
warrant to spy on Trump.
Rosenstein was so desperate to halt the House Intel
investigation into the FISA abuses that transpired during
the 2016 election that he reportedly threatened Chairman
Nunes and other members of the House Intel Committee if
they didn’t back down.
Gregg Jarrett, legal analyst for Fox News reported on
February 2nd:
I can tell you a congressional source tells me
that Rod Rosenstein in a meeting three weeks
ago threatened Chairman Nunes and members
of Congress he was going to subpoena their
texts and messages because he was tired of
dealing with the intel committee. That’s threats
and intimidation.
No wonder why Rosenstein gave Mueller the green light to
investigate whatever he wanted for an unlimited time with
unlimited resources.

 CNN's Jim Acosta Complains About
'Wildly Offensive' Slam on Lazy 'Dreamers'
By Tim Graham
February 7, 2018 11:38 AM EST
Soopermexican at The Right Scoop arrived first at the
latest example of Jim Acosta banging a can against Team
Trump on Tuesday night for describing some "Dreamers"
as too lazy to apply for DACA status to prevent them from
deportation. Chief of staff John Kelly told The Washington
Post some were "too lazy to get off their asses." This
sounds designed to get Acosta's goat, and he unloaded on
Anderson Cooper 360:
JIM ACOSTA, This appears to be one of a
long line of offensive comments coming
out of the White House aimed at
immigrants in the context of this
immigration debate. Keep in mind the
president has said in the past, we love the
Dreamers. Well, if you listen to his chief of
staff, it doesn't sound like at least the chief
of staff loves the Dreamers. He was
essentially describing them as slackers
earlier today. Here's how it played out in
the briefing room when I pressed the White
House press secretary on General Kelly's
comments.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ACOSTA: Just on the face of it, isn't that just a wildly
offensive comment about these undocumented
immigrants who are waiting for some kind of solution to
come out of this city?
.
28
SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS: Look, the only person
that's actually offered a solution is this administration. The
president's been a championed of giving 1.8 million DACA
recipients and DACA eligible people a pathway to
citizenship, and he's laid a plan and a solution that actually
addresses both Republicans and Democrats' concerns. I
think it's hard to argue with that statement.
ACOSTA: On the surface of that, isn't it just an offensive
comment, though, isn't it, just on its surface?
SANDERS: I think that's something you would have to
decide for yourself.
Then came the Acosta Lecture, which really should have
had some pompous-sounding music underneath it:
ACOSTA: So, Anderson, as you can see, she didn't answer
the question. But we should point out, Dreamers who
are brought to this country through no fault of their
own have spent most of their life not being lazy and
sitting on their asses, they've been working their butts
off. They've been working their asses off, to be blunt,
keeping their noses clean, keeping their records clean,
working hard in school. Some of them are in the
military. They've been the opposite of lazy. A lot of
immigration advocates would argue that.
"A lot of immigration advocates"...like Jim
Acosta, and CNN in general. Notice they
use "Dreamers" like it's an objective word,
and "Dreamers" as a category seem to be
the hardest-working people with the
cleanest noses and the busiest butts in
America. They take an inaccurate
overgeneralization that's negative, and
respond to it with an inaccurate
overgeneralization that's positive.
Neither Acosta nor Cooper engaged in the idea that if
"Dreamers" were terribly afraid of deportation, why didn't
they sign up for DACA? Instead, Cooper in the next
segment called Kelly's comment a "typical stereotype" and
a "slur."

 Alec Baldwin To Michael Wolff:
‘Are You Sick Of Trump?’
By Corinne Weaver
February 7, 2018 11:58 AM EST
It’s ironic that the people that have made money from
Trump’s presidency are complaining that they don’t like
their newfound source of wealth.
According to Deadline Hollywood, Alec Baldwin and
Michael Wolff made an appearance at New York’s Town
Hall to whine about “acute Trump fatigue.” The actor, who
plays President Trump on Saturday Night Live, “confessed
to sometimes looking at the orange Trump wig in the SNL
dressing room and feeling drained,” according to Dade
Hayes. Baldwin stated:
“I do have this fatigue. I do sit there and
say ‘I don’t want to be this motherfucker
again.’”
Wolff, whose controversial book Fire and Fury became a
bestseller in a matter of days for its salacious storytelling
and gossip column style,
argued that Trump would eventually “come
around and claim credit for its mega-selling
status.”
.
30
Wolff considers his decision to write the book (fact-
checked by the liberal Politifact and found wanting)
almost like a religious mission.
“Sometimes, one is called,” he told
Baldwin.
The author continued,
“I didn’t feel myself looking at this from a
big lens. It was very much up close...I’m
not thinking about the country. What I felt
most of all that everybody there was tainted
by this, felt tainted by this and believed that
they would not come out ahead, that this
was a net loss.”
When Baldwin asked if the latest Wolff appearance on
MSNBC’s Morning Joe was staged, Wolff stated,
“It’s cable television, they get paid by the
confrontation. In public life, you used to run
away from conflict. Now you seek it out.”
However, despite the general criticism that Fire and Fury
has received, for its bizarre theories and slander of people
like UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, Wolff wouldn’t change
a word.
“Everything is as it should be,” he told
Baldwin.

to know if Trump was thinking of having nuclear weapons
in the procession down Pennsylvania Avenue and in front
of the Trump International Hotel, which was on proposed
route.

Lemon kicked off the first hour of his show with the
denouement of the parade and he seemed almost
bewildered by the idea.

“That is a directive from the commander-in-

chief to the Pentagon, which confirms in the
planning stages to do that just now. The
route being considered heading down
Pennsylvania Avenue then passed, what
else, the Trump International Hotel,” he
chided.
He acted as though the parade needed to go down some
random side street to pass in front of the hotel when it was
actually situated on Penn. Ave. Clearly, an attempt to trick
those who didn’t know the layout of DC.
In the midst of the discussion, Lemon asked retired
General James “Spider” Marks what could the President

ridiculous suggestion that Trump wanted to have trucks
roll through the streets with nuclear weapons:

Obama-era State Department Spokesperson Rear Admiral
John Kirby (Ret.) was also on the panel and he had a lot to
say when it came to ripping into the idea of a military
parade. He claimed such a show of America’s military
force was beneath it and mocked Trump for acting the
North Korean dictator.
“For a few reasons. One, I can’t get past the
fact, Don, this is probably more about his
ego more than anything else. I mean, who’s
the rocket man now,” he spat.
Admiral Kirby ranted about how a real show of support for
the troops would be to make sure that they actually had a

through:
It would be really interesting to see how the military
handles this tasking now, Don, and whether they can walk
any of this back. I mean, we're talking like they're already
looking at dates. I think they're actually much earlier in
this process. And they hopefully will be able to either not
do it or do it in a way that's a lot more tasteful than what I
think the President has in mind.
The anti-Trump commentary got particularly out of hand
when presidential historian Douglas Brinkley claimed that
President Troop didn’t want to be around the troops in
anyway:
You know, the part that bothers me, Don, is Donald Trump
is yet to visit our 15,000 troops in Afghanistan. We have
6,000 troops in Syria and Iraq. He's never gone to even see
them. You know, Barack Obama was president three
months and he went to Iraq. George W. Bush went four
times to Iraq and twice to Afghanistan. The big gap here is
a president that doesn't want to go meet our troops. He
goes to Mar-a-Lago instead.
This is the same guy that appeared on MSNBC
in March of 2017 and accused the President
of treason, something the liberal media was
up-in-arms over Trump mocking Democrats
with.
Between the hyperbolic rhetoric of wondering if nukes
would be present and asserting that those who wanted the
parade wanted a dictatorship too, CNN appeared to be
doing everything it could do damage their busted
credibility even further and alienate themselves from
average Americans.

Of Damaging Documentation Make It Impossible For The
Traitors To Stop What Is Coming?

February 7, 2018

Recently we warned that "something so huge was coming"

it would bring the deep state to its knees and within a day
the Senate memo detailing the reasoning behind the Senate
Judiciary Committee's criminal referral against Christopher
Steele, the author behind Fusion GPS's Kremlin sourced,
DNC and Clinton funded Steele dossier, was released,
albeit heavily redacted. Despite the heavy redactions,
enough was revealed to show that a second congressional
investigative body had confirmed that high level FBI/DOJ
officials during the Obama presidency, had withheld
information from the FISA court, while using the foreign
sourced and unverified Steele dossier to obtain FISA
warrants to surveil a Trump campaign official.
What was also revealed was that Hillary Clinton associates
provided information to an Obama State Department
employee, who then passed it along to Christopher Steele
to be used in his dossiers.
Within the last 24 hours, a tsunami of information has been
released publicly that explains why it is too late for the
"deep state" to stop what is coming, which is why their
talking heads are calling for revolution and sedition against
President Trump.

 DOC. 1) GRASSLEY/GRAHAM MEMO,
REDACTIONS REMOVED, CONFIRMS
HOUSE FISA ABUSE MEMO CLAIMS
After the House Intelligence Committee's FISA abuse
memo was released to the public, the Senate Judiciary
Committee requested the FBI conduct an expedited full
declassification review since information contained with
the criminal referral memo was based on the same
underlying documentation as was the House's FISA abuse
memo. The FBI complied and by February 6, 2018, had
declassified the majority of what had previously been
blacked out (redacted) originally in the criminal referral
against Steele, leaving a more comprehensive and detailed
account of what led the Senate Judiciary Committee to
refer Steele to the DOJ for criminal charges.
The 10-page declassified Grassley document, which is
embedded, explains on Page 3 that after looking at
"classified documents relevant to the FBI's relationship
with Mr. Steele and whether the FBI relied on his dossier
work," they find that after evaluating those classified
documents, in light of sworn statements made by Mr.
Steele in British litigation, Steele lied to the FBI or the
British court, or that classified documents reviewed by
their committee "contained materially false statements."
On Page 4, the memo explains the committee's chairman,
ranking member and subcommittee chairman had the
opportunity to review a total of four FISA applications,
which relied on the Steele dossier to seek surveillance of a
Trump campaign team member, Carter Page.
On Page 5 of the Grassley/Graham criminal referral memo,
it states that the FBI noted the "vaguely limited extent
origins of the dossier," before stating "The application
failed to disclose" to the FISA court "the identities of Mr.
Simpson's ultimate clients were the Clinton campaign and
the DNC." Simpson runs Fusion GPS, which paid Steele.

By Page 9 we see that testimony and documentation

"appear to directly contradict the FBI's assertions in its
initial application for the Page FISA warrant, as well as
subsequent renewal applications."

In other words, as the House Intelligence Committee

memo asserted, the FBI deliberately misled the FISA court
in order to obtain a warrant, and renew those warrants, to
spy on a Trump campaign team member, even after Page
no longer worked on the Trump campaign.

As Wall Street Journal's Kimberly Strassel asked on

Twitter, "Why isn't the (mostly) unredacted Grassley
memo front page news?"

Below, Sean Hannity does an excellent job of unpacking

the newly declassified portions of the Grassley/Graham Full 10 page declassified Grassley/Graham document

DOC. 2 AND 3) THE CLINTON EMAIL SCANDAL
AND THE FBI’S INVESTIGATION OF IT -
INTERIM REPORT
The next two documents embedded are a 25 page, Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee
interim report, titled "The Clinton Email Scandal And The
FBI’s Investigation Of It," where the the chairman, U.S.
Sen. Ron Johnson, released their majority staff report,
along with a 502 page document detailing the damning text
messages between senior FBI official Peter Strzok, who
played key roles in both the Clinton investigation and the
initiating of the Russia probe, and his lover FBI laywer
Lisa Page.
"The report details the congressional
investigation of former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton’s private email server and
the oversight of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s involvement with their
investigation of Secretary Clinton’s private
server."
Some of the key findings contained within the interim
report, and the text messages themselves, are described on
the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs website,
in their press release:
The report outlines how information available to the
committee at this time raises serious questions about how
the FBI applied the rule of law in its investigation. The
majority staff report found that:
 The FBI did not use a grand jury to compel testimony
and obtain the vast majority of evidence, choosing
instead to offer immunity deals and allow fact
witnesses to join key interviews.
 There were substantial edits to former FBI Director
James Comey’s public statement that served to
downplay the severity of Secretary Clinton’s actions,
and that the first draft of the memo was distributed for
editing two months before key witnesses were
interviewed.
 Director Comey stated that he had not consulted with
the Justice Department or White House, when text
messages among FBI agents involved in the
investigation suggest otherwise. Two key investigators
discuss an “insurance policy” against the “risk” of a
Trump presidency, and “OUR task.”
 Messages discuss “unfinished business,” “an
investigation leading to impeachment,” and “my gut
48
sense and concern there’s no big there there.” The
messages strongly underscore the need to obtain still-
missing text messages and other information regarding
the FBI’s actions and investigations into the Clinton
email scandal and Russian involvement in the
November 2016 election.
 Senior FBI officials—likely including Deputy Director
Andrew McCabe— knew about newly discovered
emails on a laptop belonging to former U.S. Rep.
Anthony Weiner for almost a month before Director
Comey notified Congress.
In the executive summary of the 25 page interim report, it
states clearly"
The FBI is the nation’s premier law
enforcement agency, and it is crucial that
the public has full faith and confidence in its
integrity and impartiality. Unfortunately, a
number of actions taken by high-level
FBI officials have legitimately called
both into question."
What jumped out at me in reading through the report, from
the same executive summary, on Page 2, was their specific
mention that the
"Office of Special Counsel ultimately
initiated a Hatch Act investigation into FBI
Director James Comey’s public statements
about the Clinton investigation," along with
the "Justice Department Office of Inspector
General (DOJ OIG) also initiated an
investigation into Director Comey’s
actions."
We knew of the OIG year-long investigation as much of
the documentation discussed to date, specifically the text
messages between Strzok and Page, were uncovered and
reported by the OIG, but it has not been widely reported
that Comey himself had been under investigation for
potentially violating the Hatch Act.
Both documents are embedded below, first the 25 page
interim report and then the 502 page report of the text
messages, including the most recently published.

As to the 502 page document below [see in separate book
#24a], please note that it starts with emails/texts sent not
only between Strzok and Page, but those that included
them in a chain of emails/texts, and what immediately
catches the eye is the date, May 2016, listed at the top of
the document, where different team members weigh in on
a rough draft of former FBI Director James Comey's public
statement saying he would not recommend charges be
brought against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private
email server and her handling of classified information.
The fact that these discussions and the rough draft
exonerating her include dates from early May 2016, and in
June 2016, when Comey's public statement did not occur
until July 5, 2016, and the FBI's interview of Hillary
Clinton herself was not until July 2, 2016, it is clear that
Comey lied through his teeth back in September 2017,
when he told Congress that no decision had been made to
exonerate Hillary Clinton before her July 2, 2016
interview.
Comey then stated at approximated the 2:40 minute mark
in the video below,
"If colleagues of ours believe I am lying
about when I made this decision, please
urge them to contact me privately so we
can have a conversation about this. All I
can do is tell you again, the decision was
made after that because I didn't know what
was going to happen in that interview."

[ Strzok-Page email texts by Chuck Ross are in a separate
book Trump Presidency #24a - Appendix and is 502

BOTTOM LINE
Information has been coming out fast and furiously, with
the Grassley/Graham, after removing the majority of the
earlier redactions coming out on February 6, 2018, and
both the Interim report and the latest dump of Strzok/Page
texts released on February 7, 2018, capping off a number
of revelations over the past few weeks, showing that after
months upon months of investigations, evidence clearly
shows considerable wrong-doing, to the point of
criminality within a number of intelligence agencies at the
highest levels of their senior officials.
Note- Congressional committees can and are investigating,
but they do not have the power to bring criminal charges,
that comes from referring matters for criminal
investigation to the DOJ, while providing them with the
documentation that prompted those referrals. Also while
over 1.2 million documents have been handed over to
congress from the year-long DOJ Office of Inspector
General into FBI/DOJ misconduct, the full OIG
investigation is still not complete, nor has the IG's full
report on his findings been released.
As the headline states, it is too late for the deep state
members, implicated in attempting to meddle and
influence the 2016 presidential election, then actively
plotting to overthrow a duly elected president, to change
the course of events or stop the flow which has become a
tsunami of information from reaching the public.
This is when people become very dangerous, because as
we have stated before, desperate people are dangerous and
these people have gone well past the point of desperation.

 Inspector General Sent Lost Strzok-Page Text Messages
BACK TO DOJ – After They Were Recovered (VIDEO)

February 7, 2018, 8:32 Am

Inspector General Sent Lost Strzok- Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson told FOX and
Page Text Messages Back to DOJ After Friends on Wednesday that the Inspector General
They Were Recovered– recovered the missing text messages and turned them over
to the Department of Justice.
Social media was set ablaze in late January after new

confirmed the Inspector General was retrieving the missing
messages between deep state lovebirds Peter Strzok and
Lisa Page.
As TGP’s Cristina Laila reported at the time…
The timeline of the ‘missing’ text messages is highly
suspicious.
They begin on December 14, 2016 and
go through May 17, 2017 which is the
same day Robert Mueller was appointed as
Special Counsel.
Imagine what the ‘missing’ text messages say about the
Sharyl Attkisson:
Trump transition period, Russia dossier, “secret society”
and moments leading up to Mueller’s appointment? It makes me wonder what is in the five
months of text messages we don’t have
that by the way the Department of Justice
Inspector General has recovered and yet
has not turned over to Congress. For some
reason, he is sending those messages
back to the Department of Justice and said
to Congress you can get those messages
through DOJ.
Via FOX and Friends:

But the recovered text messages were

never turned over to Congress as
requested.
The DOJ Inspector General instead
turned them over to the Department of

And the DOJ is refusing to turn them

 Memo To Dan Rather:
Shut Up About Memos
By Michelle Malkin
February 7, 2018 10:02 AM EST
Old liberal media liars never fade away. They just rage,
rage against the dying of their dinosaur industry's light.
I'm looking at you, Dan Rather.
After years of trashing alternative media, which exposed
the veteran CBS News reporter's monumental Memogate
fraud in 2004, Rather has joined the ranks of pajama-clad
online broadcasters. The 86-year-old grandfather of fake
news now uses Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to stoke
the left's anti-Trump resistance — all while clinging
bitterly to the vestiges of his defunct "legendary" newsman
persona.
Consider Gunga Dan's comments on the House
Intelligence Committee's release of the four-page Nunes
memo alleging domestic surveillance abuses by politicized
FBI brass working with Democratic operatives.
"Most respectable analysts," Rather
asserted, "have determined that the
contents of the memo are thin."
Who determined that these unnamed analysts are
"respectable"? Dan Rather. Why are they "respectable"?
Because they confirm Dan Rather's opinions. Why are Dan
Rather's opinions more valid than others? Because he's
Dan Rather, the veteran teleprompter reader America must
trust.
"With the release of the memo," Rather
railed, "the goal of the White House and its
willing enablers is to make what is really
the truth into a forgettable sidebar."
80
He lambasted "cherry-picking" and taking
things "out of context." And, Rather fretted,
"what will be the endgame if a big segment
of the public confuses what they hope to be
true with what turns out to be true?"
This "disgraced former journalist"
fraudster's got more gall than a bladder
bank.
Document Dr. Dan is the man who fronted the notorious
"60 Minutes" propaganda hit piece on George W. Bush
based on fake documents about his Texas Air National
Guard service in the 1970s and nonexistent sources upon
whom Rather's team relied to verify these documents.
(If that self-validating circularity of bogusness sounds
eerily similar to what the Nunes memo revealed, you've
been paying attention.)
Rather and his CBS team perpetuated journalistic fraud of
the highest order. Conservative bloggers and alternative
media called out Dan Rather and his con artist producer
Mary Mapes for their malpractice. CBS denied this and
delayed addressing the hoax. The mainstream media tried
to shoot the messenger and discredit critics of CBS/Rather.
The evidence of bias was overwhelming — forcing CBS to
appoint an independent review panel that concluded that
the network "failed to follow basic journalistic principles
in the preparation and reporting of the piece," was "rigid
and blind" in its defense, and demonstrated "myopic zeal"
in its manufacturing of the Bush/National Guard fraud.
After the report was issued, Mapes and three executives
were fired and the editorial practices at CBS were
revamped.
The New York Times infamously coined the phrase "fake
but accurate" to describe the left's stubborn defense of the
four manufactured memos attributed to Texas Army
National Guard commander Lt. Col. Jerry Killian. Less
remembered are the scathing conclusions of the
independent panel who identified these worst defects of
Rather's work in 2004:
"1. The failure to obtain clear authentication of any of the
Killian documents from any document examiner;
 "2. The false statement in the September 8 Segment that
an expert had authenticated the Killian documents when
all he had done was authenticate one signature from one
document used in the Segment;
"3. The failure of 60 Minutes Wednesday management to
scrutinize the publicly available, and at times
controversial, background of the source of the documents,
retired Texas Army National Guard Lieutenant Colonel Bill
Burkett;
"4. The failure to find and interview the individual who was
understood at the outset to be Lieutenant Colonel
Burkett's source of the Killian documents, and thus to
establish the chain of custody;
"5. The failure to establish a basis for the statement in the
Segment that the documents "were taken from Colonel
Killian's personal files";
"6. The failure to develop adequate corroboration to
support the statements in the Killian documents and to
carefully compare the Killian documents to official
TexANG records, which would have identified, at a
minimum, notable inconsistencies in content and format;
81
"7. The failure to interview a range of former National
Guardsmen who served with Lieutenant Colonel Killian
and who had different perspectives about the documents;
"8. The misleading impression conveyed in the Segment
that Lieutenant Strong had authenticated the content of
the documents when he did not have the personal
knowledge to do so;
"9. The failure to have a vetting process capable of
dealing effectively with the production speed, significance
and sensitivity of the Segment; and
"10. The telephone call prior to the Segment's airing by
the producer of the Segment to a senior campaign official
of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry — a
clear conflict of interest — that created the appearance of
a political bias."
Fourteen years later, after courts laughed his $70 million
lawsuit against CBS out of court, the blog-blaming fake
news forefather has the audacity to hold forth on truth,
trust, accountability.
Sit down, Dan Rather. Be humble.

 WATCH: TGP’s Jim Hoft Calls For Others To Speak
“Truth To Power” Against Silicon Valley At The
Social Media Neutrality Panel
By Lucian Wintrich
February 7, 2018, 10:23 Am
The Social Media Neutrality Panel was
held yesterday at the Newseum in
Washington DC.
The panel included testimony from Jim
Hoft of The Gateway Pundit, Pamela
Geller of The Geller Report, Margaret
Howell of Rightside Broadcasting, Oleg
Atbashian from The People’s Cube, tech
entrepreneur Marlene Jaeckel.
Topics all involved the current tech climate, social media
bias, shadow banning and other methods meant to silence
voices and limit readers and viewers access to information.
Jim Hoft is the founder and Editor of The Gateway
Pundit, a prominent conservative website based out of St.
Louis, Missouri. The Gateway Pundit was listed as the
fourth most influential conservative news source by
Harvard University and the Columbia Journalism Review
in the 2016 presidential election. The Gateway Pundit has
grown from 2 readers a day at its founding in 2004 to over
a million page views a day and reporters across the globe.
.
84
In Hoft’s statement, he discusses how despite Columbia
Journalism Review and Harvard ranking Gateway Pundit
as the “fourth most influential” news site during the 2016
elections, tech giants such as Google and Facebook
continue to blacklist the site and limit the spread of articles
through features like “sharing”.
In a recent example, Hoft outlines how a
completely factual Gateway Pundit report written by
Cassandra Fairbanks about Black Lives Matter targeting
the Super Bowl was flagged by a Facebook “fact checker”
who claimed the story was fake news and hid the story
from their platform. Well, Black Lives Matter DID, in fact,
target the Super Bowl and shut down multiple rail lines
which is now widely documented. With this as one of
many examples, Hoft outlines how we need to “speak
truth to power” in a climate where Silicon Valley is run by
far leftists who control nearly all our means of news and
communication flow.

By Joshua Caplan
February 7, 2018, 10:46 Am

Newly released text messages between
FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page
reveal President Obama wanted updates
on the bureau’s Hillary Clinton email
investigation. During an April 2016
interview with Fox News, Obama

was staying out of the probe.
OBAMA: “I can guarantee. I can guarantee
that not because I give Attorney General
[Loretta] Lynch a directive, that is
institutionally how we have always
operated. I do not talk to the Attorney
General about pending investigations. I do
not talk to FBI directors about pending
investigations. We have a strict line and
always have maintained it. I guarantee it. I
guarantee that there is no political influence
in any investigation conducted by the
Justice Department or the FBI, not just in
this case but in any case. Period. Nobody
gets treated differently when it comes to
the Justice Department because nobody is
above the law.”
WALLACE: “Even if she ends up as the
Democratic nominee?”
OBAMA: “How many times do I have to say
it, Chris? Guaranteed.”

 Newly Released FBI Texts Show Strzok-Page Bashing
“Turtle” Mitch McConnell, Trey Gowdy & Paul Ryan
By Joshua Caplan
February 7, 2018, 1:12 Pm
Newly released FBI text messages show
agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page
bashing Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Luke Rosiak of the Daily Caller reports:
The FBI officials investigating Hillary
Clinton’s email server wrote that House
Speaker Paul Ryan is a “jerk,” that Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell looks like
a turtle, that Oversight Committee
chairman Trey Gowdy is a “dick,” and that
newscaster Chris Wallace is a “turd.”
And as for former FBI Director James Comey:
“Jim’s too blindly boyscoutish.” […]
The Oversight Committee held a hearing Sept. 12 about
“Classifications and Redactions in the FBI’s investigative
file” on the Clinton case. Jason Herring, acting assistant
director for Congressional Affairs of the FBI, was there to
provide answers, while Page and Strzok watched.
Page appeared to fault the chairman of the oversight
committee for asking “investigative questions” and
indicated that Herring was supposed to have a simple
“script” — of refusing to answer.
“Gowdy is being a total dick. All
investigative questions. And Jason isn’t
always stricking to the script on ‘I’m not
answering that,’” she wrote. “Gowdy is
92
really starting to piss me off,” she
previously noted.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft reported, FOX News
released Wednesday morning an explosive
report implicating President Obama in the Russia –
Obamagate scandal.
Newly revealed text messages between FBI paramours
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page include an exchange about
preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James
Comey to give to President Obama, who wanted “to know

Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016
about prepping Comey because “potus
wants to know everything we’re doing.”
Senate investigators told Fox News this
text raises questions about Obama’s
personal involvement in the Clinton email
investigation.
Reacting to newly released text messages between Strzok
and Page, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) told “Fox &
Friends,” that he believes then-President Obama wanted
to know what the bureau was doing to thwart Donald
Trump’s presidential campaign.
When asked what does Page’s text about
Obama wanting to “know everything we’re
doing,” means, the Texas lawmaker
replied, “it means the President wants to
know what they are doing to try to stop
Trump.”
President Trump took to Twitter Wednesday to comment
on the newly released text messages between Strzok and
Page, calling them “bombshells.”
 All Three Nets Ignore New FBI Texts, Senate Report
Showing Obama Involvement In Clinton Email Probe
By Kristine Marsh
February 7, 2018 1:22 PM EST
ABC, NBC and CBS all ignored a bombshell report
released overnight by Senator Ron Johnson (R-
Wis.), Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security
Committee, which revealed more critical evidence
concerning how the FBI handled the Hillary Clinton e-mail
probe. The Committee also released more damning text
messages between FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page
which showed an intention by the agents to find evidence
to impeach President Trump as well as the news that
President Obama wanted to be involved in the Clinton e-
mail investigation.
Though none of the networks covered the shocking new
report or texts February 7, Fox News reported on its
contents to open the first hour of Fox and Friends this
morning.
According to Fox, Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016,
about prepping then-FBI Director James Comey for a
meeting with President Obama about their investigation
into the Clinton e-mails.
93
That text can be found on page 356 of the large database of
texts released by the committee, along with their report
entitled,
“The Clinton Email Scandal And The FBI’s
Investigation Of It.”
The previous texts mention having a meeting about
preparing talking points for Comey to give to Obama. The
text in question simply states that they are having the
meeting
“because POTUS wants to know
everything we’re doing.”
This text clearly suggests that Obama was involved in
some form into the FBI email probe, which is shocking
news, if true.
Especially considering how President Obama has
adamantly denied ever being involved in FBI
investigations, and specifically the Clinton probe, multiple
times, calling it a “sensational” claim in the press
conference below:
But that’s not all. Several texts between the pair suggest
they were using their positions at the FBI to find a way to
impeach Trump.
A text exchange on August 15, 2016 talked about having
an “insurance policy” in place in case Trump was elected.
The pair gushed on election day that it was
“F***ing terrifying” and “depressing” that
 Trump won the election. Just a week later,
Page wrote, "I bought all the president's
men [sic]. Figure I need to brush up on
watergate [sic]."
The next day, she again wrote to Strzok,
“God, being here makes me angry. Lots of
high fallutin’ national security talk.
Meanwhile we have OUR task ahead of
us.”
The Senate report also found texts talking
about the “risk” of a Trump presidency,
“unfinished business,” and “an
investigation leading to impeachment.”
Perhaps less surprising, the report also revealed more
hateful text messages between the agents about
conservative voters.
.
94
Texts from Strzok to Page talk about being able to “smell
Trump voters” in a Southern Virginia Walmart, and in one
on November 4, 2015,
Strzok called Virginians “ignorant
hillbillies” for rejecting Democrat Jill
McCabe for state office,
(the same McCabe who is wife to the former acting
director for the FBI, Andrew McCabe.)
If all of that wasn’t enough, the accompanying Senate
report also found that the FBI sat on information regarding
the Clinton e-mails. One text from Strzok in September of
2016 mentions the FBI having access to thousands of e-
mails from Huma Abedin, found on Anthony Weiner’s
computer, a full month before Director Comey announced
he wanted to re-open the Clinton e-mail investigation.
 Author Of Yahoo News Article Used
To Obtain FISA Warrant On Trump Campaign Was
Secretly Working With DNC
By Cassandra Fairbanks
February 7, 2018, 2:15 Pm

An email published by WikiLeaks “I spoke to a delegation of 68 investigative

reveals that Michael Isikoff, whose
article for Yahoo News based on the
debunked “Steele dossier” was used to
obtain a FISA warrant against Carter
Page from the Trump campaign, was
secretly working with the Democratic
National Committee.
journalists from Ukraine last Wednesday at
the Library of Congress – the Open World
Society’s forum – they put me on the
program to speak specifically about Paul
Manafort and I invited Michael Isikoff whom
I’ve been working with for the past few
weeks and connected him to the
Ukrainians,” Democratic consultant
Alexandra Chalupa wrote to Luis Miranda,
communications director of the Democratic
National Committee.

The recently released memo on FISA abuse prepared by

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes
states:

“The Carter Page FISA application also

cited extensively a September 23, 2016
Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff,
which focused on Page’s July 2016 trip to
WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange tweeted the link to
Moscow. This article does not corroborate
the email on Wednesday afternoon.
the Steele dossier because it is derived
from information leaked by Steele himself
to Yahoo News. The Page FISA application
incorrectly assesses that Steele did not
directly provide information to Yahoo
News—and several other outlets—in
September 2016 at the direction of Fusion
GPS. Perkins Coie was aware of Steele’s
initial media contacts because they hosted
at least one meeting in Washington D,C, in
2016 with Steele and Fusion GPS where
this matter was discussed.”

While discussing his story being one of the justifications in

the FISA warrant application against Page during an
episode of his podcast, “Skullduggery,”

Isakoff claimed that he was “stunned.”

“Obviously the information that I got from
Christopher Steele was information the FBI
already had,” he said. “It’s self-referential.”

95
Zero Hedge reports that Isakoff also claimed that the FISA
application “incorrectly assesses” that Steele was not a
source for his story, adding that he met with the dossier
author at a Washington hotel in September 2016.
“My story is about the FBI’s own
investigation,” he continued. “So it seems a
little odd that they would be citing the
Yahoo! News story about the matter that
they are investigating themselves based on
the same material that had been separately
presented to the FBI before I was ever
briefed by Christopher Steele.”
Isakoff claimed that he was aware that Simpson and Steele
were working for Democrats, though he did not know it
was the campaign and DNC.
According to a report from Fox News last year, Chalupa, a
Ukrainian-American activist, had worked in the White
House Office of Public Liaison during the Clinton
Administration and was paid $412,000 by the DNC from
.
96
2004 to 2016, according to Federal Election Commission
records.
“Ali Chalupa naturally was interested on
behalf of the DNC to paint Mr. Manafort in
the most negative light possible,” Ukraine
expert Adrian Karatnycky of the Atlantic
Council told Fox News.
“There was a financial ledger book under
investigation by the Ukrainians,”
Karatnycky said. “Shedding light on that
would have been in Chalupa’s playbook.
She was pointing media where there was
smoke in the middle of a campaign. And
indeed there was a media firestorm that led
to Manafort’s resignation in the middle of
the campaign.”
Also, according to the Senate Judiciary memo released in
unredacted form on Tuesday evening, Grassley reveals the
FBI KNEW Steele lied about his contact with media
outlets, yet they DID NOT disclose this very pertinent
information to the FISA court.
 EVIDENCE MOUNTS: Carter Page – The Linchpin
To Deep State Spying On Trump – Worked As An FBI Spy
By Jim Hoft
February 7, 2018, 2:30 Pm
There has been much written about
Carter Page, the so-called Russian
expert and volunteer on the Trump
campaign.
Carter Page sat on a campaign committee that met only
once during the campaign.
And yet the FBI relied on Page to
continue to spy on Donald Trump, his
campaign members, his family and then
his Transition Team and administration.
The FBI sought FISA warrants FOUR TIMES to spy on
Carter Page.
The warrants on Page then gave the Deep State access to
spy on all of the Trump campaign officials.
According to reports from 2016 Carter
Page was previously working as an
undercover informant for the FBI.
Via Conservative Treehouse broke this
story a couple days ago:
In 2013 Carter Page was working as an under-cover
employee (UCE) of the FBI, helping them to build a case
against “Evgeny Buryakov”. In March 2016 Carter Page
remained their informant pre-trial. [Note – Pay attention to
the names in the following citations]
Sources:
97
 In 2013 the U.S. Department of Justice, Southern
District of New York, announced an indictment against
a Russian Operative Evgeny Buryakov. In March of
2016 Buryakov pleaded GUILTY.
…
 In 2016 Reuters published an article, based on the
ongoing court case, going into detail about court
records.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The FBI eavesdropped on
meetings involving Russian intelligence personnel in New
York City, including a suspected spy posing as a trade
representative, by hiding recorders in binders containing
supposedly confidential information about the energy
sector, U.S. prosecutors said.
The hours of covert recordings from 2013 were disclosed
in papers filed in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday in
the case of Evgeny Buryakov, a Russian citizen who U.S.
prosecutors say posed as a banker while participating in a
Cold War-style spy ring.
[…] According to prosecutors, in April
2012, Sporyshev met an undercover FBI
employee posing as an analyst at a New
York energy firm at an oil and gas industry
conference.
…
 In April 2017, writing a story about Carter Page, and
trying to enhance/affirm the Russian narrative, they
outlined Page’s connections to the Trump campaign,
the New York Times referenced Page’s prior
connection to the operation. [Notice how the story is
shaped] LINK HERE:
Russian intelligence operatives tried in 2013 to recruit
an American businessman and eventual foreign policy
adviser to the Trump campaign who is now part of the
F.B.I. investigation into Russia’s interference into the
American election, according to federal court documents
and a statement issued by the businessman.
The businessman, Carter Page,
met with one of three Russians who were
eventually charged with being undeclared
officers with Russia’s foreign intelligence
service, known as the S.V.R. The F.B.I.
interviewed Mr. Page in 2013 as part of an
investigation into the spy ring, but decided
that he had not known the man was a spy,
and the bureau never accused Mr. Page of
wrongdoing.
Now this…
From the DOJ press release on the Russian spy case from
2013:
“The FBI obtained the recordings after
Sporyshev attempted to recruit an FBI
undercover employee (“UCE-1”), who was
98
posing as an analyst from a New York-
based energy company”.
From the indictment:
“Male-1” is described as “working as a
consultant in New York City”. The
information on “Male-1” corresponds with
news reports of Page’s role in this case. A
great deal was made in the press of a
defendant calling him an “idiot”, his
frequent trips to Moscow, that he was
“hooked on Gazprom” (the Russian natural
gas company) and that it was “obvious he
wants to earn lots of money”.
This is the same language that was used to describe Carter
Page in the now debunked Russia dossier.
It sounds like the same person.
 It is transparently clear that Carter Page
was the Under-Cover Employee (UCE) of
the FBI in the 2013 case.
Carter Page was working for the FBI.
.
The question is: Was Carter Page
planted inside the Trump campaign to
allow the FBI to spy on Trump?

Strangely, the mainstream media and fake news journalists

pushed back on the release of the FISA memo claiming

 Carl Bernstein Compares Trump
TO McCarthy, Calls Him 'Authoritarian Demagogue'
By Ryan Foley
February 7, 2018 3:06 Pm Est
On CNN’s New Day Wednesday morning, Carl Bernstein
repeatedly compared President Trump to the late Sen.
Joseph McCarthy and also referred to him as an
“authoritarian demagogue.”
According to Bernstein,
“Donald Trump mimics, reembodies to a
large extent the tactics, techniques and
methodology of Joe McCarthy. The
constant smearing of immigrants, of
Mexicans, of those he opposes, the
belittling of them, little this, little him. Go
look at the clips of Joe McCarthy.”
During the beginning of the Cold War in the 1950s,
McCarthy became an extremely unpopular and
controversial figure after accusing many in the United
States government of working as Soviet spies and
blacklisting people as members of the Communist Party.
Bernstein’s contempt for McCarthy should come as no
surprise, considering his sympathies to the Communist
Party. In 1989, Bernstein wrote a book called Loyalties,
where he detailed his parents’ memberships in the
Communist Party. His father worked for the now-defunct
Office of Price Administration during World War II.
Maybe Bernstein didn’t realize it but his book actually
proved McCarthy correct. Communists did in fact work for
the United States Government. Not surprisingly, the media
gave Bernstein’s book favorable coverage, with Ted
Koppel praising the book as a “testimony to courage: the
courage of some unabashed trade unionists and civil rights
102
workers, Leftists and yes, American Communists, who
fought for principles that we now take for granted.”
It comes as quite a strange coincidence that leftists like
Bernstein now view Russia as the United States’ biggest
national security threat when they spent the entire Cold
War downplaying, if not sympathizing with the
Communist Soviet Union. Even as late as 2012, Democrats
minimized the Russian threat. When GOP presidential
candidate Mitt Romney suggested that Russia posed the
greatest national security threat, President Obama
responded by saying
“the 1980s are now calling to ask for their
foreign policy back.”
New Day

08:34 AM
CARL BERNSTEIN: What Trump has wanted to do is to turn this
into a Democrat versus Republican argument as opposed to
being about the conduct of the President of the United States and
his family and his campaign and his business associates. And
he’s succeeding in it, partly because the press is falling for this
line and spending all our time debating this memo. It’s really a
red herring. The real thing that’s going on now, you know people
keep looking and I’m asked all the time, how is this like
Watergate? Watergate is not the analogy. The real analogy is
Joe McCarthy and Donald Trump. That really, what Joseph
McCarthy and McCarthyism were about was smearing American
institutions for self-political gain. What McCarthy did, he smeared
the Department of the Army, he smeared the United States
Information Agency, the voice of America. He accused people of
treason, exactly like Donald Trump did the other day. And it’s not
an accident that McCarthy’s hand maiden was Roy Cohn. And
we heard the other day Donald Trump speak of his mentor Roy
Cohn. Where is my Roy Cohn? This is a moment we, including in
the press, Fox News, we need to look at history. We need to look
at the last great authoritarian demagogue in this country, who
was Joe McCarthy, and see if indeed I am right and this is true,
that Donald Trump mimics, reembodies to a large extent the
tactics, techniques and methodology of Joe McCarthy. The
constant smearing of immigrants, of Mexicans, of those he
opposes, the belittling of them, little this, little him. Go look at the
clips of Joe McCarthy.
CHRIS CUOMO: But, you know, Carl, in a, in the absence of a
politician to fill in the role of the “have you no decency, sir” role
that took place in the McCarthy era, the Nunes memo, while I
hear you, there’s certainly a political play going on. You also in
the media can’t let them use phrases like “this was a secret
court” where they went for their secret warrant. That is a
legislative body, the FISA Court, and they are undermining the
DOJ for political purposes. You’ve got to call it out, Carl.
BERNSTEIN: Let’s just report the facts. We don’t need to engage
every time the President does something or his lackeys or
acolytes do something. We don’t need to turn it into the biggest
issue out there that he wants us to turn...What is the real issue
103
here? The real issue is the conduct of the President of the United
States, his family, his business associates, his business
organization and the conduct of the Russians in the election. We
have a legitimate investigation. Let it proceed, the Mueller
investigation. That’s the big question. Why is he trying to cover
up and impede the Mueller investigation? That’s what...and then
use McCarthyite tactics. And the difference between McCarthy
and Donald Trump? McCarthy was a Senator. We have never
had a President of the United States who was an authoritarian
demagogue before who issues these kinds of smears and lies
daily. This is extraordinary. We need to look at it as a country.
We need to look at our history. Let’s see what McCarthy looked
like and put up the video next to Donald Trump.

 FBI Text Messages Show Strzok-Page
Bashing Various Nationalities In “Bigoted Terms”
By Joshua Caplan
February 7, 2018, 3:36 Pm
Newly released FBI text messages show
agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page
discussing Romanians, Russians and
Italians in “casually bigoted terms.”
Daily Caller reports:
Strzok and Page, who both served in
prominent roles on the Russian collusion
investigation, revealed their anti-Romanian
bias while discussing the notorious hacker,
Guccifer, in text messages dated May 9,
2016.
“Guccifer. Sleazy Romanian…,” Strzok
wrote.
“They ALL are,” Page responded.
“Funny to watch and think of [redacted]. No
wonder he’s a brusque as he is…and those
Romanians aren’t even the gypsies…”
Strzok shot back.
“Seriously, I kind of hate them. (I’m sure
[redacted] fine). But they have the
crookedness of the Russians with the
entitledness of the Italians. Yuck,” Page
answered.
Not only were the FBI agents critical of certain European
nationalities, but also ribbed top Republican
lawmakers, bashing Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and House Speaker
Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Luke Rosiak of the Daily Caller reports:

As The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft reported, FOX News

 Russian Comedians Prank
Adam Schiff With Fake Investigation Material
By P.J. Gladnick
February 7, 2018 4:43 PM EST
So just how desperate is the ranking Democrat of the
House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, to find any
materials proving collusion between President Donald
Trump and Russia? Apparently desperate enough to buy
into a wild prank pulled off by a pair of Russian comedians
to the extent that he spent eight minutes with them on the
phone in an attempt to finally realize his dream of proving
collusion. To get an idea of how desperate Schiff was, try
getting your own congressman on the phone for any length
of time. Unless you are a major major campaign
contributor you are pretty much out of luck.
The prank pulled off by the comedians happened on April
10, 2017 and was first reported by the Atlantic magazine in
their January/February issue. The pranksters posed as
Andriy Parubiy, the speaker of the Ukraininan parliament:
“In November 2013, Mr. Trump visited
Moscow, he visited competition Miss
Universe, and there he met with Russian
journalist and celebrity Ksenia Sobchak,”
he said in his heavily accented, awkward
English. He explained that in addition to
having ties to Putin, Sobchak is “also
known as a person who provides girls for
escort for oligarchs. And she met with
Trump and she brought him one Russian
girl, celebrity Olga Buzova.” Schiff soberly
asked for clarification, and Parubiy
answered directly: Sobchak, he said, is a
“special agent of Russian secret service.”
Buzova “got compromising materials on Trump after their
short relations,” Parubiy said.
“There were pictures of naked Trump.”
Schiff betrayed no emotion. “And so
Putin was made aware of the availability
of the compromising material?” he
asked.
“Yes, of course,” Parubiy said. Putin
wanted it communicated to Trump that “all
those compromising materials will never be
released if Trump will cancel all Russian
sanctions.” The biggest bombshell: He had
obtained a recording of Buzova and
.
111
Sobchak talking about the kompromat
while the two were visiting Ukraine. He told
Schiff, “We are ready to provide [those
materials] to FBI.”
Alana Goodman at the London Daily Mail reported
Tuesday that Schiff claims he wasn't fooled despite
spending all that time on the phone with the comedians:
Schiff's office said the congressman
suspected the call was 'bogus' from the
beginning and reported it to authorities
afterward.
But in a recording of the eight minute
conversation, Schiff appeared to take the
call seriously – or at least played along
convincingly -- and emails from the
Democrat's staff to the fake politician
afterwards said he had found it 'productive'.
You can listen to an audio recording of the call here and
judge for yourself just how seriously Schiff took it since it
seems like he was taking notes from the information the
Russian comedians were feeding him.
You can read for yourself at the Daily Mail the followup
emails sent between Schiff's office and the Russian
pranksters which gives a lot of credibility to the idea of
how seriously the material promised by the comedians was
taken. Here is just one of those emails sent by Schiff aide
Rheanne Wirkkala:
"I understand Mr. Schiff had a productive
call with Mr. Parubiy, and that Mr. Parubiy
would like to make some material available
to Mr. Schiff through your embassy."
Exit question:
Did comedians Vladimir Kuznetsov and
Alexey Stolyarov serve as the Russian
sources Christopher Steele paid to get
information for his dossier?
 “DOJ Was Very Concerned”:
Inspector General Discovered FBI Failed To Flag Clinton
Emails MARKED CLASSIFIED
By Joshua Caplan
February 7, 2018, 5:29 Pm
Newly released text messages between
agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page show
the FBI failed to “flag,” various emails
marked classified with a (C) on Hillary
Clinton’s private server.
Daily Caller reports:
The FBI didn’t flag that some emails from
Hillary Clinton’s private email server were
marked classified with a “(C)” when they
were sent — something that seemingly
would have been one of the first and most
obvious checks in an investigation, and one
that FBI agents instantly recognized put the
facts at odds with Clinton’s public
statements.
The Intelligence Community Inspector General noticed it
after the FBI missed it, texts between FBI agent Peter
Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, reveal.
“Holy cow,” Strzok wrote, “if the FBI missed
this, what else was missed?”
.
112
“Remind me to tell you to flag for Andy
[redacted] emails we (actually ICIG) found
that have portion marks (C) on a couple of
paras. DoJ was Very Concerned about
this,” he wrote.
“Found on the 30k [emails] provided to
State originally. No one noticed. It cuts
against ‘I never sent or received anything
marked classified,’” he wrote, referring to
statements by Clinton downplaying the
danger of her email practices.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft reported, FOX News
released Wednesday morning an explosive
report implicating President Obama in the Russia –
Obamagate scandal. Page texted to Strzok on September
2nd, 2016 about President Obama wanting details about
the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email
usage.
“[P]otus wants to know everything we’re
doing,” the text read.
Reacting to newly released text messages between Strzok
and Page, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) told “Fox &
Friends,” that he believes then-President Obama wanted to
know what the bureau was doing to thwart Donald
Trump’s presidential campaign.
When asked what does Page’s text about Obama wanting
to “know everything we’re doing,” means, the Texas
lawmaker replied, “it means the President wants to know
what they are doing to try to stop Trump.”
 FBI Changed Hillary’s Exoneration Letter –
Switched “President” To “Senior Government
Official” To Protect Obama
By Cristina Laila
February 7, 2018, 6:46 Pm

New Strzok-Page text messages reveal

the FBI lovebirds were talking about
Comey’s exoneration letter on June 30th
2016 which was one week before the
fired FBI Director’s press conference
announcing no criminal charges will be
pursued against Hillary Clinton.

In the text exchange dated 6-30-2016, Trump-hating FBI

agent Peter Strzok reveals the FBI fiercely worked to
distance Obama from Hillary’s email scandal.

Screenshot of Strzok-Page text exchange and Comey’s

Strzok told his mistress Lisa Page,
exoneration of Hillary via Lisa Mei Crowley:
“He [Comey?] changed ‘President’ to
“another senior government official””.

113
114
As previously reported, Comey’s original draft stated,
“Although there is evidence of potential violations of the
statute proscribing gross negligence in the handling of
classified information and of the statute proscribing
misdemeanor mishandling, my judgment is that no
reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”
It was then edited to remove “gross negligence” and
“misdemeanor mishandling” to “potential violations of the
statutes.”
115
Another very shocking revelation was that “hostile actors”
likely gained access to Hillary Clinton’s private email
which of course contained classified information.
Early Wednesday morning a new text message from
corrupt FBI lovers and former Mueller investigators
implicated former President Barack Obama as being
involved in the Obamagate scandal.

 GOP Rep: Benghazi, Fast And Furious Connected To
Obama FBI & DOJ Exposed In FISA Memo (AUDIO)
By Joshua Caplan
February 7, 2018, 7:34 Pm
In an explosive interview with Breitbart
Radio Wednesday, firebrand
conservative Congressman Paul Gosar
(R-AZ) said Justice Department and FBI
corruption, outlined in the FISA abuse
memo, is connected to Obama-era
scandals, such as Benghazi and Fast
and Furious.
Credit: Breitbart News
Partial transcript via Breitbart News:
“If you don’t think the [Operation] Fast and
Furious—attacking the Second
Amendment—along with Operation Choke
Point, you know that sacred amendment
that holds our government accountable and
protection for all the other amendments, if
you don’t think Benghazi and the lack of
accountability when they knew something
was going to come, if you don’t think that
the IRS and the attacking of your
adversaries financially, and the unmasking
are unrelated things, think again,” Rep.
Gosar told Breitbart News.
“You know, this previous administration—
the Obama administration—micromanaged
everything out of the White House. And I
challenge people, remember the Syrian
strikes that were actually handpicked and
dictated by the president at that time. This
gentleman was involved in everything.
That’s where all this leads. When you look
at the cover-up with the email scandal with
Hillary Clinton, it gets—it should have
pointed out exactly what we’ve been talking
125
about, that this was the weaponization of
our Justice Department not only to cover
up for the previous administration and the
wrongdoing and ills of them and those
associated with them, but also to attack a
sitting president—actually a candidate at
the time, then president-elect and then a
current, sitting president you know of an
opposition party.”
If you thought the FISA abuse memo would be the sole
report on FBI and Justice Department corruption, House
Intelligence chairman Devin Nunes may have a surprise.
According to Axios, the Committee could publish up to
five more reports outlining
“politically motivated “wrongdoing” across
various agencies, including the FBI, the
broader Justice Department, and the State
Department.”
The Washington Examiner’s Byron York concluded his
recent article summarizing the memo’s key FISA abuses
by warning a new showdown between Republicans and
Democrats could resurface when additional information is
released.
Translation:
The FISA memo could be the first of many
memos exposing corruption at both the FBI
and Justice Department.
York writes:
Finally, the memo released today does not
represent the sum total of what House
investigators have learned in their review of
the FBI and Justice Department Trump-
Russia investigation. That means the fight
over the memo could be replayed in the
future when the Intelligence Committee
decides to release more information.
It is not clear what information congressional investigators
will release.

 SARA CARTER: FBI Informant On
Uranium One Breaks His Silence In Explosive Testimony
To Congressional Committees
By Cristina Laila
February 7, 2018, 8:03 Pm
William D. Campbell, the FBI informant
on the Uranium One scandal broke his
silence Wednesday in an explosive
testimony.
Campbell gave over 4 hours of
testimony and answered every question
from three Congressional committees;
the Senate Judiciary, House Oversight
and House Intelligence committees,
according to attorney Victoria Toensing.
In the testimony, obtained by investigative reporter Sara
Carter, Campbell reveals for several years he had a
relationship with the CIA which then evolved into working
as an FBI informant due to close connections he developed
with Kazakhstan and Russia in their nuclear energy
industries.
Investigate reporter Sara Carter reported:
He [Campbell] gave explosive testimony on
his years as an undercover informant
providing information to the FBI on Russian
criminal networks operating in the United
States. He also contends in his testimony,
and written briefs, to the FBI that Russia
attempted to hide its ongoing aid to help
sustain Iran’s nuclear industry, at the time
the Obama administration approved the
127
sale of 20 percent of U.S. uranium mining
rights to Russia.
Senior members of the FBI, Department of Treasury,
Department of Energy and Department of Justice were also
briefed on Campbell’s information and were apprised of
the various facets pertaining to Russia’s acquisition of the
Canadian company. In fact, Campbell had been told by his
FBI handlers that his work had made it at least twice into
President Obama’s classified presidential daily briefings.
“The Russians expressed a sense of
urgency to secure new U.S. uranium
business because they knew that the two-
decades-old “Megatons to Megawatts”
program would cease in 2013,” Campbell
said. “Then Russia would no longer be
guaranteed a market to sell recycled
nuclear warhead materials as peaceful
reactor fuel in the United States. I gathered
evidence for the FBI by moving closer and
closer to the Russians’ key nuclear industry
players, including those inside the United
States and high-ranking Russian officials
who would visit.”
Despite the insurmountable evidence collected by
Campbell, the Obama administration’s Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States approved Russia’s
purchase of Uranium One in the fall of 2010.
That approval by the Obama administration gave Moscow
extensive rights to buy and sell more atomic fuels.
“I was speechless and angry in October
2010 when CFIUS approved the Uranium
One sale to Rosatom. I was deeply worried
that TLI continued to transport sensitive
uranium despite the fact that it had been
compromised by the bribery scheme,”
stated Campbell in his testimony to
lawmakers. “I expressed these concerns
repeatedly to my FBI handlers. The
response I got was that “politics” was
somehow involved. I remember one
 response I got from an agent when I asked
how it was possible CFIUS would approve
the Uranium One sale when the FBI could
prove Rosatom was engaged in criminal
conduct. His answer: “Ask your politics.”
Campbell also said in a statement that Putin wanted to
dominate the world’s Uranium supply:
“Putin wanted Russia to dominate the
world’s uranium supply, a goal of crucial
interest to the U.S. government. At the
same time, the Russian companies –
Rosatom and Tenex – were engaged in
racketeering,” his testimony stated.
Also, attorney Victoria Toensing said her client William
Campbell recounted NUMEROUS times the Russians
bragged the Clintons’ influence would push the Uranium
One deal through:
He recounted numerous times that the
Russians bragged that the Clintons’
influence in the Obama administration
would insure CIFIUS approval for Uranium
One. And he was right.”
As previously reported, not only was the
FBI informant working on the Russian
.
128
bribery case threatened by the Obama
administration, he was blocked by the
DOJ under then-AG Loretta Lynch from
testifying to Congress.
The FBI informant started providing information in 2009.
It wasn’t until the 2016 presidential election that Obama’s
DOJ threatened him with prosecution.
All Russian roads lead to Hillary Clinton.
Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to
provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton
Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval.
From and October report by John Solomon, we also found
out that the investigation was supervised by then-U.S.
Attorney Rod Rosenstein, who is now President Trump’s
Deputy Attorney General, and then-Assistant FBI Director
Andrew McCabe, who is now the deputy FBI director
under Trump.
Rod Rosenstein is now in charge of dirty cop Mueller’s
witch hunt against President Trump. Unbelievable.

 FBI Informant On Uranium One Breaks
Silence Testified To Three Committees On Capitol Hill
Sara Carter
February 7, 2018

“Mr. Campbell testified for over four hours

until he answered every question from
three Congressional committees; the
Senate Judiciary, House Oversight and
House Intelligence committees.
He recounted numerous times that the
Russians bragged that the Clintons’
influence in the Obama administration
would ensure CIFIUS approval for Uranium
One. And he was right.”
An informant who spent years gathering information on
the Russian energy and uranium market industry for the
FBI, met staff members of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, House Oversight, and House Intelligence
Committees on Wednesday. He gave explosive testimony
on his years as an undercover informant providing
information to the FBI on Russian criminal networks
operating in the United States. He also contends in his
testimony, and written briefs, to the FBI that Russia
attempted to hide its ongoing aid to help sustain Iran’s
nuclear industry, at the time the Obama administration
approved the sale of 20 percent of U.S. uranium mining
rights to Russia.

William D. Campbell, an American businessman, provided Victoria Toesning

extensive information on other counterintelligence issues
to the FBI for decades and he had also provided
information to the CIA on various issues during his time
overseas.
“For several years my relationship with the
CIA consisted of being debriefed after
foreign travel,” Campbell noted in his
testimony, which was obtained by this
reporter. “Gradually, the relationship
evolved into the CIA tasking me to travel to
specific countries to obtain specific
information. In the 1990’s I developed a
working relationship with Kazakhstan and
Russia in their nuclear energy industries.
When I told the CIA of this development, I
was turned over to FBI counterintelligence
agents.”
The informant’s attorney, Victoria Toensing partner at the
firm DiGenova & Toensing, said the following:
The recent revelations over the past year regarding
Campbell’s undercover work for the FBI, sparked a
Department of Justice investigation into the Obama
Administration’s handling of the sale of U.S. uranium
mining assets to Russia. On Wednesday, he shared with
the committee information he provided to the FBI and has
in the past described his frustration with the Obama
administration’s failure to stop Russia’s nuclear giant from
purchasing 20 percent of American uranium mining assets.
Campbell testified before numerous Congressional
investigators that his extensive counterintelligence work
on Russia and stated that during his time as an informant,
he obtained information that Russia was continuing to aid
the Iranian government. According to Campbell
Russia provided the resources necessary for the nation’s
nuclear reactors, despite promises that they were not
sharing such technology with Iran.

129
In an April 16, 2010, summary brief provided to his former
FBI handlers and obtained by this reporter, he stressed his
deep concerns about Tenex, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Russian state nuclear arm Rosatom and its ongoing
work to provide Iran with the technology needed for its
nuclear reactor program.
At the time, Rosatom was seeking the approval to purchase
the Canadian mining company Uranium One.
“TENEX continues to supply Iran with fuel
through their Russian company TVEL,”
stated Campbell in a 2010 brief provided to
the FBI. TVEL is a Russian nuclear fuel
cycle company headquartered in Moscow.
“They (TVEL) continue to assist with
construction consult and fabricated
assemblies to supply the reactor.
Fabricated assemblies require
sophisticated engineering and are arranged
inside the reactor with the help and consult
of TVEL.”
Campbell informed the FBI of the close relationship
between TVEL and TENEX, both a part of the Rosatom
group. He stated in his brief that while spending time with
the Russian executives from both Rosatom and Tenex, that
any mention of
“TVEL is a subject that is serious to all
when mentioned. I do not even raise the
subject of TVEL to our friends, but
occasionally they speak of it and always in
a guarded manner.”
In the briefs, he informed the FBI that
“occasionally someone will mention having
been in Iran but usually it is long after the
fact.”
“His response was a smile and shoulder
shrug”
And when he asked the Russians about these connections,
he stated that they
“occasionally speak of the relationship, i.e.
equipment, consulting. I asked Vadim
(Mikerin) if they felt there was a serious
problem, and would they adhere to
sanctions and western opinion. His
response was a smile and shoulder shrug.”
But Campbell had provided the FBI with evidence of the
criminal network and delivered the information to the FBI.
which was monitoring his work as an informant and
130
approving his transfer of bribery money to the Russians.
Those transfers, which were made in bulk $50,000 sums
and at times delivered in cash, occurred between senior
executives of the American transportation company and
the Russian executives connected to Rosatom. He had
given the FBI irrefutable evidence showing how contracts
obtained from the same Russian energy company Tenex,
were based on contract bribery and other nefarious actions,
he said.
Senior members of the FBI, Department of Treasury,
Department of Energy and Department of Justice were also
briefed on Campbell’s information and were apprised of
the various facets pertaining to Russia’s acquisition of the
Canadian company. In fact, Campbell had been told by his
FBI handlers that his work had made it at least twice into
President Obama’s classified presidential daily briefings.
“The Russians expressed a sense of
urgency to secure new U.S. uranium
business because they knew that the two-
decades-old “Megatons to Megawatts”
program would cease in 2013,” Campbell
said. “Then Russia would no longer be
guaranteed a market to sell recycled
nuclear warhead materials as peaceful
reactor fuel in the United States. I gathered
evidence for the FBI by moving closer and
closer to the Russians’ key nuclear industry
players, including those inside the United
States and high-ranking Russian officials
who would visit.”
Despite the insurmountable evidence collected by
Campbell, the Obama administration’s Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States approved Russia’s
purchase of Uranium One in the fall of 2010.
That approval by the Obama administration gave Moscow
extensive rights to buy and sell more atomic fuels.
“I was speechless and angry in October

response I got from an agent when I asked
how it was possible CFIUS would approve
the Uranium One sale when the FBI could
prove Rosatom was engaged in criminal
conduct. His answer: “Ask your politics.”
It wasn’t until years later in 2015 that American
businessman Daren Condrey, whose company
Transportation Logistics International, plead guilty to
conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(FCPA) and conspiring to commit wire fraud, according to
the DOJ.
Russian national Vadim Mikerin, who was a top official of
the Russian nuclear arms subsidiary Tenex and would later
become president of Tenam the American subsidiary of
Rosatom, was also sentenced in December 2015. Mikerin,
who only plead guilty to money laundering, was arrested
for a racketeering scheme that dated back to 2004. He was
sentenced to 48 months in prison.
Boris Rubizhevsky, another Russian national from New
Jersey, who was president of the security firm NEXGEN
Security, was also involved in the conspiracy and plead
guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering in 2015.
He served as a consultant to Tenam and to Mikerin.
Rubizhevsky was sentenced to prison last year along with
three years of supervised release and a $26,500 fine,
according to a recent Reuters report.
And Mark Lambert, 54, a co-owner of Transportation
Logistics International, was charged this month on an “11-
count indictment with one count of conspiracy to violate
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and to commit
wire fraud, seven counts of violating the FCPA, two counts
of wire fraud and one count of international promotion
money laundering,” as stated in the DOJ press release.
Lambert’s charges stem from an alleged scheme to bribe
Mikerin in order to secure contracts with TENEX,
according to the DOJ release.
Lambert is fighting the charges, according to a Reuters
report.
The Informant
Campbell, whose from the South Eastern United States,
founded a company in 1981 early in his career that focused
on agriculture and energy consulting for foreign
companies.
He was the Chief Operating Officer, and “led the
company’s expansion into Europe and the Middle East,”
stated Toensing.
During his time working in the Middle East in the 1980s
he came into possession of information he thought would
be of interest to the U.S. government and “contacted the
local FBI office and presented the plans to an agent,” he
relayed to congressional members.
That was the beginning of Campbell’s informant with the
FBI.
131
In the 1990’s Campbell traveled to Kazakhstan and Russia
developing relationships in their nuclear energy industries.
It was at that point that the Campbell also gave began
providing information to the FBI’s counterintelligence
agents.
“Through my energy consulting, I began to
make inroads into the Russian nuclear
industry, first in Kazakhstan through Swiss
contacts and then in Russia,” Campbell’s
statement said. “My FBI assignments
included providing information about
Russian efforts to secure large swaths of
Kazakh uranium in the 1990’s and again
around the time former President Bill
Clinton visited the region as a private
citizen in 2005, accompanied by a donor to
his Foundation, Frank Giustra.”
He was reimbursed for his expenses and at times receive a
modest compensation for his work with the FBI, he
testified.
“By far the largest and most significant
payment I received was in January 2016,”
he noted. “The FBI presented me a
$50,000-plus check thanking and
commending me for my work from 2009 to
2014 in the investigation of the Russian
nuclear energy industry.”
“Putin wanted Russia to dominate the
world’s uranium supply, a goal of crucial
interest to the U.S. government. At the
same time, the Russian companies –
Rosatom and Tenex – were engaged in
racketeering,” his testimony stated.
Campbell, who was using the money paid
to him by the FBI for his work and
expressed his frustration to the FBI over
their failure to reimburse him approximately
$500,000 he had spent on payments to
facilitate the undercover case, Toensing
added.
In January 2016 the FBI invited him to a dinner in Crystal
City, Virginia, where they presented him with a check for
just over $50,000 and thanked him for his work, said
Toensing. A copy of the check has been obtained by this
reporter.
In 2016, Campbell filed a lawsuit in Maryland federal
court against the Russian nuclear entities asking for the
return of the money he had to launder out of his own
paychecks. His lawyers were advised by the DOJ a few
days of filing the lawsuit that prosecutors in the Fraud
Section of the Justice Department under then-Attorney
General Loretta Lynch, demanded the withdrawal the
lawsuit. According to a letter, obtained by this reporter, the
DOJ threatened to destroy Campbell’s reputation and
prosecute him for violating a non-disclosure agreement he
had signed with the FBI.
Late last year, the Department of Justice under Attorney
General Jeff Sessions lifted Campbell’s NDA agreement
so he could speak to Congress about his case and
involvement in the investigation.
Campbell’s Briefs and Reports
The Russians were working to secure their global
expansion of the energy market and according to his
briefings to the FBI on August 2011, that
“the Russians are going to do what they
need to do to secure their influence,
whether it’s in Europe, Iran or any other
part of the world…they know that nobody’s
in a position to stop them… not even
us…unless we want to run a huge risk of
massive confrontation.”
More importantly noted Campbell, the
“fuel fabricators to Iran are being flown by
Russian air transport due to the sensitive
nature of the equipment. Taking them
overland or by sea makes no sense when
they can have them inside Iran in a matter
of hours.”
But by 2010, the Russian government was working
diligently to get approval from the Obama administration
to purchase Uranium One. They wanted to downplay their
relationship with Iran and were afraid that Republicans,
who were against the proposed deal, would find a way to
stop the approval process.
They hired lobbying firms and sought the counsel of
American experts in the energy market.
Department of Energy
Cherly Moss Herman, currently with the United States
Department of Energy but who worked as private energy
consultant on environmental issues at the time, produced a
.
132
detailed report for the Russian nuclear company, as
previously reported.
The document Moss Herman wrote as a consultant in 2010
was for TENAM/Tenex, according to the consulting
memorandum she provided to the Russian subsidiary.
TENAM is a fully-owned U.S. subsidiary of Tenex, which
is 100 percent owned by the Russian state-controlled
nuclear Rosatom, according to public documentation.
Titled “Policy/Legislative Issues Affecting the Business
Climate in the U.S. for TENAM/Tenex,” the
memorandum discussed the Department of Energy’s
uranium regulations. She is now employed at the DOE’s
Office Nuclear Energy where she? develops sustainable
fuel cycles.
The Moss October 7, 2010, report discusses the
congressional atmosphere regarding uranium, specifically
states that “some Republicans truly fear the entry of Russia
into the U.S. market, as demonstrated by the fact that they
are taking steps to block the purchase of Uranium One ….”
Her memo outlined methods for the Obama administration
to loosen U.S. restrictions on Rosatom to not only export
nuclear materials but also secure billions of dollars in new
uranium sales to American utilities, according to the
report.
In late 2010, the Russians succeeded at doing both, while
at the same time their companies were engaged in a
criminal racketeering enterprise on U.S. soil.
Moss Herman’s 2010 memorandum outlined
“the current status, including background
information, and discussion on a few key
issues that could affect the business
climate for TENAM/Tenex’s directly and
also introduces a number of other issues
that could also have an impact on the
nuclear business climate in the United
States.”
“Some Republicans truly fear the entry of
Russia into the U.S. market, as
demonstrated by the fact that they are
taking steps to block the purchase of
Uranium One by Atomredmetzoloto,” she
stated.
Atomredmetzoloto, known as ARMZ, is the mining arm of
Rosatom. On June 8, 2010, Uranium One announced it had
signed an agreement that would give “not less than 51%”
of the company to JSC Atomredmetzoloto, or ARMZ.
According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Uranium One has two licensed mining operations in
Wyoming that amount to about
“20 percent of the currently licensed
uranium in-situ recovery production
capacity in the U.S.”

 CNN’s Burnett Spits Bile As She
Tries To Discredit Sen Johnson's Review
By Nicholas Fondacaro
February 7, 2018 10:55 PM EST
CNN’s organizational hypocrisy was on full display
Wednesday night as host Erin Burnett kicked off OutFront
by declaring that “Republicans are at it again” with their
crazy conspiracy theories! Turns out, the alleged
conspiracy theory was just a question raised by Wisconsin
Senator Ron Johnson in his Homeland Security
Committee’s interim report on the Clinton e-mail scandal.
“The conspiracy de jour is that
President Obama had quote, ‘personal
involvement’ in the Clinton e-mail
scandal,” Burnett claimed as she began
her anti-Republican rant.
Her smearing started by taking the question raised by
Johnson completely out of context:
According to Johnson's report, Page texted
Strzok about preparing talking points for
them FBI-Director Jim Comey because,
this is the operative line, quote: “POTUS,
[President Obama] wants to know
everything we are doing.” Okay. That one
phrase was enough for Senator Johnson to
make the connection between President
Obama and the Clinton email investigation.
Burnett was adamant that Johnson was a conspiracy
theorist, but she failed in her duty as a journalist to note
that the Senator didn’t draw any conclusion, and even
stated that fact outright.
“This report is not intended to answer
these questions, but to demonstrate
that the information received warrants
139
further inquiry to examine possible bias
and wrongdoing within the FBI and the
Justice Department. Any serious and
impartial reader of this material should
find it hard to deny the need for further
inquiry,” Johnson explicitly wrote.
The disdain for Johnson, and by extension Republicans
(judging from her intro) was palpable as she chided the
Senator by saying:
“Lesson here is before you take on the
FBI or a former president, both of whom
are fair targets right, but make sure you
have your facts straight.”
And, of course, CNN reporter Evan Perez and Fusion GPS
conveniently had an anonymous source in his ear to
explain the context of the text messaged in question.
Burnett’s snide comment about getting
facts straight, coupled with an earlier jab
about how “facts and dates matter, okay,”
demonstrated just how disingenuous her
grandstanding was, especially considering
CNN’s past blunders with peddling
conspiracy theories. One instance that
sticks out, in particular, was their
conspiracy that Donald Trump Jr. got
access to the WikiLeaks documents early.
They got the story wrong because an
anonymous source gave them the wrong
date on an e-mail.
The CNN host unironically lamented how
Johnson had “misinterpreted [the text], of
 course, for a political purpose pretty
clearly in this case.”
The indignant shot came after she conflated a Strzok/Page
text message made in jest about an FBI “secret society”
and Johnson’s claim that a whistleblower had come
forward to confirm the existence of one.
Former FBI Special Agent James Gagliano was also
brought on to give his analysis of the situation.
“I'm confident that the Office of the
Inspector General, which has the case,
it’s not bi-partisan, it's nonpartisan. I
trust they'll get to the bottom of this,” he
praised. “And that’s, of course, where an
investigation should be not in the
partisan sphere where Senator Johnson
and others are trying to put it,” Burnett
sneered.
Again, Burnett proved just how dishonest CNN was when
it came to who they chose to trust for information. She
smeared Johnson for trying to make things political but her
network hangs on every word Democratic Congressman
Adam Schiff (Calif.) leaks to them to damage President
Trump. The twisting of Johnson's interim report had since
become a narrative for CNN.

Erin Burnett Out Front
February 7, 2018
700:47 PM Eastern
ERIN BURNETT: And good evening I'm Erin Burnett. OutFront
tonight, conspiracy craze. Republicans are at it again. The
conspiracy de jour is that President Obama had quote, “personal
involvement” in the Clinton e-mail scandal.
So there’s a 25-page report that is out now by the Republican
Senator Ron Johnson and in it, he cites a text message between
two FBI officials. Yes, we’re talking about Peter Strzok and Lisa
Page again here. According to Johnson's report, Page texted
Strzok about preparing talking points for them FBI-Director Jim
Comey because, this is the operative line, quote: “POTUS,
[President Obama] wants to know everything we are doing.”
Okay. That one phrase was enough for Senator Johnson to make
the connection between President Obama and the Clinton email
investigation. And the current president of the United States did
not wait for the facts, the context or the details before tweeting
about Johnson's report to his 47.5 million followers in all caps,
“new FBI texts are bombshells.”
140
(…)
BURNETT: Okay. There is though a big problem with this
conspiracy theory. It is a very big problem. Because it just isn't
clear that the text was talking about the Clinton e-mail
investigation. Here's why, because facts and dates matter.
Okay. The text is dated September 2, 2016. That's the text, right,
about POTUS wants to know what we’re working on. (…)
Let's just remember that Senator Johnson is the same man who
used a text between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa page to allege
publically that there was a mass conspiracy at the FBI against
Trump. A so-called secret society.
(…)
BURNETT: That was based on this text from Lisa Page to Peter
Strzok, again, quote: “Are you going to give out your calendar?
Seems depressing, maybe it should just be the first meeting of
the secret society.” The text exchange, you may recall, was
referencing a private joke between the two. And only after the
idea was debunked did Johnson back down.
(…)
BURNETT: Lesson here is before you take on the FBI or a
former president, both of whom are fair targets right, but
make sure you have your facts straight. Evan Perez is out
front tonight. And Evan, I've laid out the timeline you though have
talked to a source who knows the context of the text about
President Obama being brief.
EVAN PEREZ: That's right Erin. A source with knowledge of the
text told us that the text message was actually related to
preparations for President Obama to be briefed on the Russian
interference in the 2016 election. (…) So it appears that this is
yet another one of these text messages that is being
misinterpreted, Erin.
BURNETT: Misinterpreted, of course, for a political purpose
pretty clearly in this case.
(…)
JOHN DEAN: They’re certainly not bombshells. In fact, I read
the report before coming on the air. And the whole thing is
based on really a recycling of old news. An effort to make
more out of these exchanges and texts than really exist there.
And it's pretty pathetic when you dig a little deeper as you all
have done and show what the timelines are so amiss and how
Trump can just fire off a bombshell tweet shows how careless he
really is.
(…)
JAMES GAGLIANO: There were a number of other ones [texts]
that were unsettling. I'm confident that the Office of the
Inspector General, which has the case, it’s not bi-partisan,
it's nonpartisan. I trust they'll get to the bottom of this.
BURNETT: And that’s, of course, where an investigation
should be not in the partisan sphere where Senator Johnson
and others are trying to put it.
.
141
(…)
BURNETT: The politicization here, right? James is saying they’re
looking into what happened, these should be looked at, at the
Inspector General. But instead, we have a memo from Devin
Nunes, we have a memo from Ron Johnson. It is clearly put,
solidly, within partisan politics, which is the President is first one
to exploit without knowing the facts himself!
(…)
BURNETT: Senator Johnson, of course, jumping from
conspiracy theory to conspiracy theory even when he
himself was forced to admit that the secret society was
probably a joke.

 Matthews Disparages Johnson, Nunes As
‘Munchkins’ Colluding With WH On Memos, Texts
By Curtis Houck
February 7, 2018 11:19 PM EST
In the A-Block of Wednesday’s Hardball, MSNBC host
Chris Matthews lost his cool in denouncing Republicans
like Congressman Devin Nunes (Calif.) and Senator Ron
Johnson (Wisc.) as part of a “group of munchkins” being
“pushed around and led around” by their staffs and the
White House in publishing the controversial intelligence
memos and FBI texts.
“I don't think this guy Johnson looks
like he’s that serious a person. I don't
think Nunes is that serious a person. I
look at these guys being pushed around
and led around by their staff all looking
for jobs at the White House. There's
something screwy about these guys,”
stated Matthews at the 7:07 p.m. Eastern
mark.
Matthews added that Johnson and Nunes seem incapable
of answering questions but instead
“numb and you go wait a minute, if this
guy's behind all this thing about writing
up these memos and seems so
intellectual, how come when you
interview them on television, there's not
much sort of a brain power there.”
Therefore, in his book, the pair must be colluding with the
White House to peddle misleading information.
Moments later, Matthews bemoaned to former presidential
candidate Evan McMullin that he
142
“smell[s] a lot of staff people, a whole
bunch of them — not a big bunch but a
small bunch of them all ganging around,
trying to get big jobs with the Trump
administration at NSC and places like
that — all around the Eisenhower
Executive Building.”
Alluding to Johnson and Nunes, he
declared that they’re not elected officials or
even aides but “operatives working for
the Trump crowd” and thus don’t
resemble “the regular Republican Party,
Evan.”
The MSNBC pundit then dropped the juvenile insult:
I don't see a Republican Party. I hate to
say it. They are quiet on the sidelines.
Republicans are behaving like sideliners
whereas this little group of people, the
same group of munchkin running around
back and forth with the EOB with paper
saying I've got something. I've got this
thing. This has been going on for two or
three months now[.]
In this politically correct world, it’s not too much to go out
on a limb and say that “munchkins” could be considered
offensive to people with dwarfism or of short stature.

these guys being pushed around and led around by their staff all

him material, send him back the next day to the West Wing,

 The Memo: Nunes ‘Bombshell’
Fails To Move Debate
By Niall Stanage
02/08/18 06:00 AM EST
The GOP memo alleging FBI and Department of Justice
(DOJ) misdeeds, emanating from House Intelligence
Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), has not
proved to be the game-changer that some of President
Trump’s most ardent supporters had hoped for.
Even before the memo was released last Friday, media
reports suggested that even some figures within the White
House considered the document underwhelming. That
judgment seems to have been borne out, as the memo has
begun to fade from the headlines with the political
landscape not fundamentally altered.
“I don’t think it is the bombshell it was billed
as being,” said Joyce White Vance, a
former United States attorney for the
Northern District of Alabama.
Other experts in the field argue that the memo has actually
helped the FBI and DOJ.
For example, it stated that the initial impetus for opening a
counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign
and Russia was not the disputed dossier prepared by a
former British spy, Christopher Steele.
Steele was employed by Fusion GPS, which was in turn
being paid in part by the Democratic National Committee
and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. But the probe had been
opened because of separate suggestions of Russian
meddling emanating from former Trump campaign adviser
George Papadopoulos, according to the Nunes memo,
though Steele approached the FBI around the same time.
144
The memo “helps the FBI and the DOJ rather than advance
the conspiracy theory that is being advanced by Nunes,”
said Jimmy Gurulé, a former assistant attorney general
who served in senior law enforcement positions under
Republican and Democratic presidents.
Gurulé also argued that the broader narrative being
advanced by the president and his loyalists — in essence,
that there was a plot in intelligence circles to bring him
down — was “irrational, illogical and laughable.”
Trump is not backing away from his charges, however.
Shortly after the memo first became public he wrote on
Twitter:
“This memo totally vindicates ‘Trump’ in
probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on
and on….This is an American disgrace!”
At Wednesday’s media briefing, White House press
secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said,
“The president feels vindicated because he
feels like the Russia investigation has been
a politically motivated witch hunt for the last
year, and the memo clearly vindicates the
president’s position that there was political
bias.”
Several Republicans have dissented from that assessment,
including Reps. Trey Gowdy (S.C.) and Will Hurd
(Texas), who are not among Trump’s most frequent GOP
critics.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) had also stated even before
the Nunes memo was released that it did not
“impugn the Mueller investigation or the
deputy attorney general [Rod Rosenstein].”
That leaves the president still facing into the crosshairs of
a possible interview with special counsel Robert Mueller’s
team.
Trump has previously said he is willing to be interviewed
by Mueller. As recently as late January, he told reporters at
the White House, “I’m looking forward to it, actually.” But
The New York Times reported earlier this week that his
legal team had advised him against agreeing to such an
encounter.
At Tuesday’s media briefing, Sanders refused to be drawn
on whether Trump would ultimately agree to provide
testimony to Mueller.
Trump critics argue that his hesitancy will only further fuel
suspicions.
“I think there are a lot of independent
voters who are a little exhausted in some
ways by this whole thing,” said Republican
consultant and Trump critic Rick Wilson.
“They don’t love this being the centerpiece
every single day.
“But I don’t think Donald Trump gets a
whole lot of benefit of the doubt about
whether he’s obstructing justice because
the more he talks, the more it seems odd.
‘Why are you so angry? Why did you want
to get rid of Bob Mueller?’ ”
.
145
Nunes has promised further revelations probing the
behavior of other arms of government, including the State
Department. And some loyalists for the president continue
to insist that the Mueller probe is
“intractably infected with bias,” as Rep.
Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) told The Hill earlier this
week.
The one significant poll taken since the memo’s release
made uncomfortable reading for Trump supporters.
The Quinnipiac University poll, released on Tuesday,
found that 53 percent of voters believe that Trump has
attempted to “derail or obstruct” the Russia probe, as just
41 percent say he had not. The margin among independent
voters was even wider, at 56 percent to 37 percent.
“The ‘earth-shattering’ memo has failed to
shatter the earth,” Wilson said.
The Memo is a reported column by Niall Stanage,
primarily focused on Donald Trump’s presidency.

(National Sentinel) National Security: Critics of a deal to
allow a Russian state-owned uranium company, Rosatom,

percent of all U.S. strategic uranium, have long said it

— during the deal-making process which, reports have
since noted, was fraught with corruption?
According to an FBI informant in the case, Obama was
briefed at least twice but failed to stop the deal.
In October the informant, identified as Bill Campbell,
came forward with details of a story of backroom dealing
and quid-pro-quo arrangements involving several Obama
administration figures along with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
As The National Sentinel reported:
An undercover informant for the FBI who
worked in the Russian nuclear industry and
was made to sign an “illegal” non-
disclosure agreement (NDA) by Obama
Attorney General Loretta Lynch is claiming
148
to have video evidence showing Russian
agents with briefcases full of bribe money
in relation to the Uranium One scandal.
Having been deeply embedded in the Russian nuclear
industry, Campbell was able to gather incriminating
evidence of bribery and kickbacks to and by U.S. and
Russian actors involved in getting the Uranium One deal
approved by the Obama administration.
Meanwhile, Campbell’s attorney, former Reagan Justice
Department official Victoria Toensing, previously told Fox
Business host Lou Dobbs, “He can tell what all the
Russians were talking about during the time that all these
bribery payments were made.”
Reports noted earlier that as the Uranium One deal
progressed beyond 2009 and into 2013 when it was
concluded, tens of millions of dollars flowed into the
Clinton Family Foundation.
In addition, Bill Clinton received hefty, outsized payments
of $500,000 each for a series of speeches he gave in
Moscow.
Fast-forward to this week. On Wednesday Campbell broke
his silence again after receiving marathon cancer
treatments to inform three congressional committees,
according to investigative reporter and Fox News
contributor Sara A. Carter, who obtained his testimony:
“For several years my relationship with the
CIA consisted of being debriefed after
foreign travel,” Campbell noted in his
testimony, which was obtained by this
reporter. “Gradually, the relationship
evolved into the CIA tasking me to travel to
specific countries to obtain specific
information. In the 1990’s I developed a
working relationship with Kazakhstan and
Russia in their nuclear energy industries.
When I told the CIA of this development, I
was turned over to FBI counterintelligence
agents.”
 The informant’s attorney, Victoria Toensing
partner at the firm DiGenova & Toensing,
said the following:
“Mr. Campbell testified for over four hours
until he answered every question from
three Congressional committees; the
Senate Judiciary, House Oversight and
House Intelligence committees.
He recounted numerous times that the
Russians bragged that the Clintons’
influence in the Obama administration
would ensure CIFIUS approval for Uranium
One. And he was right.”
In an interview Wednesday night with Fox News host Sean
Hannity, Toensing — a former Reagan administration
official — noted that Campbell testified that he was told
Obama was briefed at least twice on the deal as it
progressed.
Robert Mueller’s FBI had been
investigating the scheme since at least
2008 – with retiring Deputy FBI Director
Andrew McCabe assigned to the ongoing
investigation which was hidden from the
Committee on Foreign Investments in the
United States (CFIUS). Had they known,
the committee never would have approved
the Uranium One deal with TENEX’s parent
company, Rosatom.
Four individuals were eventually
prosecuted and given plea
agreements after the Uranium One deal
was approved. The prosecuting DOJ
attorneys? Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein and top Mueller investigator in
the Trump-Russia probe, Andrew
Weissman – who praised former acting
Attorney General Sally Yates for defying
Trump.

“Mr. Campbell was told by the FBI that Watch:

what he was being told and they were
taking it upstairs and he was also told that
President Obama also had it in his daily
briefing twice,” she said.

In December, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered a

new probe into the Uranium One deal.

Zero Hedge reported in January that ranking members of

the Obama FBI and Justice Department were also
involved:

 Clinton Hatchet Man Schearer Peddled
TRUMP DIRT Sooner Than Thought; Info Found
Its Way To DOSSIER Author Steele
By Usafeaturesmedia
Posted On February 8, 2018
The Shearer memo and the Steele dossier contain some of
the same unverified allegations
(National Sentinel) Inside Job: A longtime operative for
Hillary Clinton was peddling bogus information against
then-GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump in
August 2016, sooner than previously thought.
As reported by The Daily Caller, a government source said
that Cody Shearer was attempting to peddle dirt on Trump
two months earlier than other reporting suggested.
But government officials did not take much of what
Shearer — a former journalist — was saying seriously
because he was “not a guy with a whole lot of credibility,”
said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity
because of the sensitivity of investigations into the various
Trump-Russia investigations.
Nevertheless, the info Schearer was peddling made it up
the chain and into the hands of “Trump dossier” author and
former British spy Christopher Steele.
The DC’s Chuck Ross noted further:
The House Intelligence and Senate
Judiciary Committees are investigating the
so-called “Shearer memo” and how it made
its way from the Clinton operative, through
the State Department, and into the hands
of Christopher Steele, the former British
spy who wrote the infamous dossier.
151
Steele subsequently passed along some of the information
to the FBI in October 2016, The Guardian first
reported Jan. 30.
That was about the time the FBI was attempting for a
second time to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court warrant against Trump campaign official Carter
Page. The bureau had initially sought a warrant over the
summer of 2016 but that application was rejected.
Subsequent reporting noted that FBI agents held up the
dossier as legitimate intelligence in October 2016 — not as
political opposition research — when they were successful
in obtaining a warrant to spy on Page. Those reports were
confirmed in the “FISA memo” — a four-page summary
of the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into
alleged “Trump-Russia collusion” that was released last
week.
“Shearer’s involvement in digging up
Trump dirt is one of the stranger twists in
the saga of the Russia investigation, one
that involves a recently retired State
Department official named Jonathan
Winer,” Ross reported, adding:
During the presidential campaign, Winer,
who served at the time as special envoy to
Libya, obtained information from Steele in
summer 2016. He passed it along to then-
Sec. of State John Kerry in the form of a
two-page memo.
The Atlantic and The Washington Post
reported on Tuesday that Shearer’s
information made its way to Steele through
at least two intermediaries.
Shearer obtained information from an
unidentified foreign source who then
provided the information to his longtime
friend and fellow Clinton crony, Sidney
Blumenthal. Blumenthal then provided the
information to Winer, his friend.
Steele provided the FBI with a handwritten
memo based upon information from
Shearer, according to The Atlantic. The
note also reportedly referenced Shearer’s
association with Blumenthal and disclosed
that the information was unverified.
The Shearer memo and the Steele dossier
contain some of the same unverified
allegations.
152
The basic information contained in Schearer’s memo was
that Russia’s spy agency, the FSB, had video footage of
Trump engaging in sex acts with prostitutes in a Moscow
hotel room.
Steele and Schearer run in similar circles of friends but
Steele, a former spy with connections to the FBI and CIA,
has a better reputation. That’s likely why the FBI did not
vet his dossier before using it to obtain a FISC warrant
against Page — a violation of rules.

 Rob Reiner Says Fighting Trump

By Corinne Weaver

You really have to credit liberal celebrities for their

between us. If only we could find some of those celebs.
Instead, we get director Rob Reiner who, in an acceptance
speech for his Social Justice Award at the African
American Film Critics Association Awards, referred to his
issues with the current administration as the

because if we don’t win the promise of
what this country started as, which is we
are all one, we are all created equal, that
promise will not be realized unless we can
overcome what has happened in this last
election. And I know we will.”
Using the Civil War as a reference for the current
administration has been a favorite strategy of the left in the
media. ABC’s Chief Political Analyst Matthew Dowd said,
on the morning of Donald Trump’s inauguration, that the
United States was “as divided now as we were then,” in
the Civil War.

Rob Reiner is no stranger to recycling tired liberal plot

points to help build the media’s narrative. MSNBC
brought the director on their program after the State of the
Union, where he whined,

“I feel bad for you, intelligent people like

In his speech, Reiner quickly moved to the topic of
President Trump, bringing up warlike rhetoric to make his
point:
you and Rachel and Brian Williams and
Nicolle Wallace and Lawrence O’Donnell

“But then he gets into office, and there are

see that this now becomes the last

glorifying the liberal agenda:

 FBI Withheld Notes From Their Interviews With
Christopher Steele From Senate Judiciary Committee
By Cristina Laila
February 8, 2018, 1:07 Pm
On Tuesday, Senator Chuck Grassley
(R-IA) released a “much-less redacted,”
version of the Senate Judiciary
Committee’s criminal referral of dossier
author Christopher Steele.
Comey is in hot water. The unredacted memo reveals the
FBI misled the FISA court about Christopher Steele’s
contacts with media outlets.
157
According to the Senate Judiciary criminal referral, Steele
lied to the FBI about his contacts with the media such as
Yahoo News and Mother Jones. Steele previously told the
FBI that he had not spoken to the media.
Grassley reveals the FBI KNEW Steele lied about his
contact with media outlets, yet they DID NOT disclose
this very pertinent information to the FISA court.
Also, a footnote in the unredacted
Grassley memo states the FBI failed to
provide the Committee with 1023’s [FBI
form to document meetings with
sources] documenting Steele’s
statements to the FBI so the Committee
had to rely on the accuracy of the FBI’s
representation to the FISC regarding
those statements. (Screenshot below):
 This raises many more questions about the FBI and their
role in seeking and obtaining a FISA warrant to spy on
Trump’s camp.

Did the FBI throw Christopher Steele under the bus?

Who’s lying about what was actually said?

The FBI is stonewalling and withholding information from

both House Intel and Senate Judiciary Committees because
they lied to the FISC in order to get that spy warrant they
needed.

 Judge Pirro Goes Off On Comey, McCabe:
‘We’re On The Brink Of Indictments’
Over FBI Corruption
By Cristina Laila
February 8, 2018, 2:04 Pm
Judge Jeanine Pirro told Fox News’
Sean Hannity Wednesday night she
believes we are on the brink of
“indictments” over FBI misconduct.
Judge Pirro went off on FBI corruptors Comey, McCabe,
Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and even Bill Priestap, Assistant
Director of FBI Counterintelligence.
In light of the FISA memo from the House Intel
Committee, Grassley’s Senate Judiciary Committee memo
and new Strzok-Page text messages, Pirro believes we are
on the brink of “indictments coming down” on corrupt FBI
officials.
“Comey needs to be the target of an active
criminal investigation, I’ve said that a
million times,” she added.
The host of “Justice With Judge Jeanine” said the public
is beginning to put the “pieces of the puzzle” together
when it comes to misconduct within the FBI and Justice
Department toward President Trump and his team.
“President Obama lied to us when he said
‘I’m not involved in anything'” relating to an
investigation,” she said.
159
She said that the storyline surrounding the unverified
Trump-Russia dossier, the series of Congressional memos
and texts between two “FBI lovebirds” reads like a
“Hollywood” screenplay.
Pirro said that if someone “wrote a script for Hollywood”
based on the events and revelations, producers would think
it was “over the top.”
On Tuesday, Senator Chuck Grassley
(R-IA) released a “much-less redacted,”

 Media In Tug Of War Over
Scope Of Obama's Sept. 2016 Interest In 'Everything'
By Tom Blumer
February 8, 2018 2:11 PM EST
Wednesday afternoon at NewsBusters, Kristine Marsh
noted that the broadcast networks' morning news shows
"ignored a bombshell report released overnight" by Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee
Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). That report includes
additional damning text messages between FBI agents Lisa
Page and Peter Strzok while they were involved in
investigating Hillary Clinton's private server and the
Donald Trump presidential campaign's alleged connections
with Russia.
The media is now in a tug of war over the
scope of the Page-Strzok text saying that
"potus (President Obama) wants to know
everything we're doing."
Here is that September 2, 2016 text:
On Page 15, Senator Johnson's full report says that this
text:
... raises additional questions about the
type and extent of President Obama’s
personal involvement in the Clinton
email scandal and the FBI investigation
of it.
Late Wednesday afternoon, Del Quentin Wilber at the
Wall Street Journal claimed the text was about something
else entirely:
... (this and other texts) show preparation
to brief Barack Obama about Russia’s
interference in that year’s election,
160
according to (conveniently
unnamed) associates of the FBI employees
involved ... not ... meddling by the then-
president in the federal Hillary Clinton email
investigation.
Perhaps Obama also wanted a progress update on the
Trump-Russia FISA warrant application, or on what
ultimately became the Steele dossier. It certainly could
have been all of the above: Hilary's emails, alleged
Russian election meddling (which Obama didn't consider
serious until after the election), the FISA warrant's status,
and progress on the dossier. That would pretty much be
"everything."
Early Wednesday afternoon, James Freeman, also at Wall
Street Journal, contended:
It’s not clear ... whether it was a general
comment about Mr. Obama’s oversight
of the FBI or a description of his interest
in a particular matter.
Obama's interest in "everything" almost certainly included
the latest on the Clinton private server email situation,
because, as Andrew McCarthy has consistently noted for
over two years, including two weeks ago, this is where
Obama was (and perhaps still is) most vulnerable:
... From the first ... the whitewash of the
Hillary Clinton–emails caper was
President Barack Obama’s call ... The
decision was inevitable. Obama, using a
pseudonymous email account, had
repeatedly communicated with
 Secretary Clinton over her private, non-
secure email account.
... If Clinton had been charged, Obama’s
culpable involvement would have been
patent ...

None of this mattered to NBC News until President Trump

tweeted five words late Wednesday morning.

NBC's initial tweet was really a retweet:

NBC improved four hours later, though "keeping tabs"

(echoed in the network's report) is hardly the same as
"wants to know everything":
Searches at Associated Press websites indicate that it has
not produced an in-house story on Obama's newly-
discovered interest in "everything." APNews.com does
have links to relevant stories (here and here) at the
Washington Times.

Meanwhile, hourly AP News Radio briefs broadcast to

thousands of subscribing stations between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m. Wednesday failed to mention Johnson's report, or any
damning Strzok-Page texts.

 CNN Calls Fox News 'Spin Machine',
Argues Trump Lives In 'Parallel Universe'
By Ryan Foley
February 8, 2018 3:04 PM EST
Towards the end of Thursday morning’s edition of CNN’s
Inside Politics, the panel criticized President Trump's
routine of watching Fox News in the morning and argued
that he lives in a "parallel universe."
The panel had discussed the fact that President Trump used
the phrase “bombshell” to describe the latest batch of text
messages between anti-Trump FBI employees Peter Stzrok
and Lisa Page, after the morning news program Fox &
Friends used the same term. President Trump has
repeatedly praised Fox & Friends on his Twitter account
and has had a rocky relationship with CNN. CNN White
House Reporter Abby Phillip said that
“It’s also fascinating to watch the President
mimic back what he’s watching on
television that morning.” She went on to
say
“He’s not going to the source of this
information, he’s getting it chewed through
this sort of spin machine.”
Host John King, perhaps a little jealous of the President’s
admiration for Fox News, said
“Forgive me, but he watches in the
morning, this is the President of the United
States, who has access to every bit of
information in the world that U.S.
intelligence can gather and that’s where he
chooses to get his information.”
The Weekly Standard’s Michael Warren dismissed the
emphasis of the Stzrok-Page text messages as
162
“midwife by folks in the conservative
media...who want to believe the absolute
worst.” On the other hand, the liberal media
want to dismiss the whole text message
scandal as a “nothing burger.”
Members of the panel then gave their two cents on a clip
of Kellyanne Conway reacting to one of the text messages,
where Page tells Stzrok that
“POTUS wants to know everything we’re
doing.”
President Obama had previously told Fox
News Sunday host Chris Wallace that he
“did not have any involvement in ongoing
FBI investigations.” King said that “this
parallel universe thing is just not healthy”,
reinforcing the media narrative that the President and his
inner circle are out of touch with reality.
The media can criticize the President all it wants for
relying on cable news but one can’t help but wonder if
they would feel slightly differently if he watched CNN in
the morning.
Inside Politics

ABBY PHILLIP: It’s also fascinating to just watch the President
mimic back what he’s watching on television that morning. He
used exactly the same language. He called it a bombshell, which
is the language that was being used in that segment on Fox. And
that’s what’s happening day in and day out with President Trump.
He’s not going to the source of this information, he’s getting it
sort of chewed through this spin machine, and then he is
repeating it on social media to his 45 million followers.
JOHN KING: Right. Forgive me, but he watches in the morning,
this is the President of the United States who has access to
every bit of information in the world that U.S. intelligence can
gather and that’s where he chooses to get his information. Good
luck. Senator Johnson, just a few moments ago, asked about this
and didn’t back down.
SENATOR RON JOHNSON: First of all, I encourage people to
read the full report, and the texts speak for themselves. They
raise a lot of questions and we are going to continue our
investigation.
KING: The texts – I’m going to take issue with the Senator here.
The texts don’t necessarily speak for themselves. The texts show
galactically bad judgment by people in very sensitive jobs who
are in a personal relationship who should not be texting about
such things, even if they’re joking. They have...it’s galactically
bad judgment. But you can’t, you have now members of
Congress, reading these text messages and reorganizing the
planets and the stars without any evidence that they took
whatever views they might have expressed in these text
messages and actually took them to the office and changed
investigations or tampered with investigations or showed bias in
the investigations. This is the United....the world’s greatest
deliberative body, they used to say.
MICHAEL WARREN: Well but I think it is midwife by folks in the
conservative media who are, who want to believe the absolute
worst when, when there’s been no demonstration. You know, it’s
not crazy to think that the Obama Administration might be, might
have been doing bad things, you know, involving the Department
of Justice, there has been, there was quite a bit of evidence in
the Obama Administration of that happening. And as you say, the
FBI agents acting, making some really, really poor judgments
here and should be investigated but I think, I think that jumping to
conclusions is ultimately muddying a, what might otherwise be a
legitimate case, because it all has to go to the extreme level of
well this, this, this sort of discredits any investigation into the
President. It just was simply wrong.
163
KING: I’ll say the same thing I said about the Nunes memo. That
if you have actual evidence of bias in law enforcement agencies,
dear God, put it out. But put it out in a bipartisan way so the
people can believe it as opposed to this little cherry-picking stuff.
To the point where Kellyanne Conway, again paid by you, the
American taxpayer, says this and says, wow.
KELLYANNE CONWAY: I saw people showing the clips of
President Obama in an interview saying he does not interfere or
ask about DOJ investigations so people are going to have to
square there, where the truth is. It is very concerning to see two
people sexting each other about this investigation, I mean texting
each other about this investigation on and on, and now you see it
goes all the way to the top, according to them, anyway.
KING: Sexting to texting. She’s good. Whether you agree or
disagree, she knows what she’s doing and, and she’s good.
Look, we make fun of this sometimes but this parallel universe
thing is just not healthy.
PHILLIP: That was this morning, by the way. That was this
morning, after it had been debunked.
KING: Right.
M.J. LEE: And clearly, Washington has become a little bit too
trigger happy in some of these situations; the jumping to the
conclusion, especially when it is beneficial to your party or it
looks bad for the other party. I think, to your point about
President Trump watching television and then sort of going on
Twitter to immediately react, he’s also doing that not in a
vacuum, he’s doing it because he feels like he’s under siege. He
feels like a lot of the headlines about him and the Russia
investigation, those are pouring in, those are not looking good for
him. And so I think he sees something like this and wants to tell
the world, wants to tell the millions of Twitter followers, you
should be paying attention to this.
KING: And so you saw that Kellyanne Conway clip there. That
was this morning as you noted. She was asked about that, a
conspiracy theory, unfounded. Not asked about, a story we’ll
come back to in just a moment. One of President Trump’s top
advisors out after allegations of domestic abuse. M.J. Lee spoke
to his accusers. She’ll share some of her reporting. Next.
 New Evidence Suggests Peter Strzok’s Cell Phone Use
Violated Rules Protecting Classified Information
By Joshua Caplan
February 8, 2018, 3:10 Pm
Former FBI counterintelligence agent
Peter Strzok may have violated rules
protecting classified information by
using his cell phone in a Secure
Compartmented Information Facility
(SCIF) on August 11th, 2016, newly
released FBI text messages reveal.
Daily Caller reports:
SCIF stands for Secure Compartmented
Information Facility, and it is where the
most sensitive classified material is kept
and story. SCIFs strictly bar all electronic
equipment and require all people place
their phones in lockers before entering.
The lead up to Strzok’s visit to “Jims SCIF”
took place around meetings at the
Department of Justice. Strzok said he had
meetings at “DoJ at 4 then Baker 430.”
Hours later, Page responds,
164
“Can you and [redacted woman] come up
and see me when you are done? Is
[redacted woman] with you? Can you
please come up here?” […]
“We’re in Jims SCIF,” Strzok texted five
minutes later. JB/Jim may refer to Jim
Baker, then the FBI’s general counsel and
a close ally of then-FBI Director Jim
Comey.
This isn’t the first time Strzok and Page’s cell phone use
has raised eyebrows. Text messages released Wednesday
by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham
(R-SC) suggest the disgraced FBI agents used untraceable
phones to communicate about Hillary Clinton.
“We text on that phone when we talk about
Hillary so it can’t be traced,” Strzok texted
to Page.
Fox News contributor Sara A. Carter previously
reported text messages exchanged between Strzok and
Page revealed discussions about purchasing Apple iPhones
to bypass “government collection,” systems. During one of
their exchanges, Strzok told Page, “If I want to copy/take
classified, I’m sure as hell not going to do it on this
phone.”
Strzok and Page’s usage of unsecured phones has raised
concerns that their messages may have been hacked by
“foreign actors.” Fox News contributor Sara Carter has
raised the prospect that countries such as Russia and China
could have used the captured exchanges to blackmail both
the disgraced FBI agents.

 Really? MSNBC Turns to Fmr. Bill Clinton
Staffer to Lecture Trump White House on Scandal
By Kyle Drennen
February 8, 2018 3:20 PM EST
In an interview completely devoid of any self-awareness
on her 9:00 a.m. ET hour show on Thursday, MSNBC
anchor Stephanie Ruhle talked to Democratic
Congressman and former Bill Clinton White House Staff
Secretary Patrick Maloney about Trump White House
Staff Secretary Rob Porter being embroiled in scandal
following allegations of abuse by his ex-wives.
Amazingly, rape and harassment accusations against
President Clinton were never mentioned.
“The big question is, why give someone
a job that important, that senior in our
White House with this kind of
background?,” Ruhle asked. Without
irony, she then introduced Maloney: “I
want to bring in Congressman Sean
Patrick Maloney, a Democrat from the
great state of New York, and he was
also Staff Secretary to President Bill
Clinton, so he certainly knows a lot
about the job.”
He also knows a lot about what it’s like to work in a White
House plagued by scandal, but Ruhle avoided pointing that
out.
Maloney unloaded on White House
Chief of Staff John Kelly, claiming he
“didn’t care” about the serious allegations
against Porter. The liberal lawmaker
ranted: “And even now is defending this
conduct. Which is so sickening and so
well documented...”
166
What about all of the Democrats who endlessly defended
Bill Clinton as he was accused of sexual harassment and
rape by multiple women? What about the detailed account
provided by Juanita Broaddrick of Clinton brutally
assaulting her? Was Maloney comfortable working for a
man who faced such charges?
All of those would have been good questions for Ruhle to
ask, but instead, she kept teeing the Congressman up to
bash the Trump administration:
“What surprises me, if you’ve got
somebody with background like this, if the
FBI is aware – if the White House is aware,
is there not someone else in the
Republican Party with the same
qualifications but not the girlfriend, wife-
beating background?”
Knowing he would never get called out about his old boss,
Maloney piled on:
These victims came forward in January
of 2017, right at the start of the
administration, and they did so because
they thought it was important that the FBI
know this about someone in this high-level
position and nothing was done. It sends
a terrible message, it’s malpractice.
The Clinton White House and its henchmen consistently
worked to destroy any woman who ever came forward to
accuse the former president of wrongdoing. For any
member of that administration to get on such a high horse
when it comes to such scandals must be challenged by
anyone who wants to consider themselves a responsible
journalist.
But this is MSNBC, so that concern was never really on
the table.
Unbelievably, this was how Ruhle wrapped up the softball
exchange:
“I want to know what family values
means these days. Because it’s
certainly strange to me.”
Obviously it is reasonable to criticize the Trump White
House for its handling of the Porter scandal, but to bring
on a guest who worked for an accused rapist to pass
judgment on the topic goes beyond the pale.
Here is a full transcript of the February 8 interview:
9:05 AM ET
STEPHANIE RUHLE: Everyone has a right to defend themselves
against allegations. The big question is, why give someone a job
that important, that senior in our White House with this kind of
background?
I want to bring in Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, a
Democrat from the great state of New York, and he was also
Staff Secretary to President Bill Clinton, so he certainly knows a
lot about the job. Congressman, good morning.
These allegations are stunning. That he physically and
emotionally abused both of his ex-wives. Both of these women
apparently told the FBI about this and he still got the job. That’s
what sticks out to me. Does it surprise you?
REP. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY [D-NY]: Yes, greatly. There
was not a day that went by that I did not have a stack of red
folders on my desk marked “Top Secret” that went to the
president. That means, for the entire time Rob Porter’s been at
the White House, he has been handling the country’s greatest
secrets with this secret of his own.
John Kelly clearly had to know about this. There is no way, I’m
telling you, that the Staff Secretary to the President, served for 14
months without a security clearance, that the FBI did notify the
chief of staff. Which means Kelly didn’t care. And even now is
defending this conduct. Which is so sickening and so well
documented, is so clearly proven by photographic evidence, by
contemporary police reports. I mean, Rob Porter has a right to
defend himself, but the American people have a right to expect
that the Staff Secretary to the President isn’t gonna be
blackmailed and can handle national security information. And
John Kelly should know better.
RUHLE: How coveted a job is this? Because what surprises me,
if you’ve got somebody with background like this, if the FBI is
167
aware – if the White House is aware, is there not someone else
in the Republican Party with the same qualifications but not the
girlfriend, wife-beating background?
MALONEY: Look, that’s right. I mean, the question is, why would
you put this person in that position? Wouldn’t you at least sideline
them until you fully investigated it and found out what the facts
are? To proceed so cavalierly is so reckless. And frankly, John
Kelly is the person who has to answer for this. It’s one thing when
an employee is trying to cover up some uncomfortable or even
disgusting facts in their background like this, but John Kelly is
supposed to know better. And when the FBI comes to you and
says, “We can’t give the guy a security clearance, because of
this,” you have a responsibility to act. There is a burn bag under
the desk of the staff secretary because the material that person
handles is among the most sensitive material our country has.
This is outrageous.
RUHLE: How close would he be to President Trump, given how
much you worked with President Clinton?
MALONEY: There is not a day that goes by in the West Wing that
the staff secretary does not personally interact with the president,
period.
RUHLE: Alright, I want to share a quote from The Washington
Post: “Porter said on Tuesday that he would resign, after the
allegations were first published, people close to him say...But he
was talked out of it by Kelly and others, according to these
people, with Kelly saying he believed Porter’s denials and saw
him as a valuable ally in the White House. Kelly continued to
press him to stay in his job Wednesday, saying he could weather
the storm, but Porter decided the controversy had become too
much.”
Sean, I’ve actually spoken to people in the White House who
said, “I’m completely shocked.” While he was a valuable rising
star in the White House, that goes out the window. When you
learn these allegations, he simply can’t stay.
MALONEY: Look, I dealt with Rob Porter on a number of
occasions. Incredibly impressive background, was always
professional and helpful to me. But look, John Kelly is the chief of
staff. When the FBI tells you he’s got this kind of problem, not
only does he need to go, you need to care about this. These
victims came forward in January of 2017, right at the start of the
administration, and they did so because they thought it was
important that the FBI know this about someone in this high-level
position and nothing was done. It sends a terrible message, it’s
malpractice. And it means somebody without a national security
clearance, for more than a year now, has been handling that
material and could have been blackmailed at any time.
RUHLE: Wow. Alright, one last question. There are reports that
he dated, or has been dating, Hope Hicks. How unusual is it for
White House aides to have a romantic relationship, can it be an
issue? We know, those of us in the civilian world, office romance
is pretty normal, but talk us through this going on inside the White
House.
MALONEY: Look, I think under normal circumstances, you know,
you wouldn’t be shocked that people who work long hours
together meet and sometimes have a relationship. The issue
here is what the conflicts are when Hope Hicks, as the
communications director, needs to write a statement about this
very serious issue. She should be no where near it. Common
sense would tell you that you let someone else do it or recuse
yourself because you have a personal conflict.
But in this White House, all the norms seem to be out the
window. The chief of staff is told about wife beating, doesn’t care.
He’s told a guy can’t get a national security clearance, they keep
168
going away. And even when the pictures come out and it’s
irrefutable, he’s defending the perpetrator, the wife beater, not
the victims. And so, I’m not surprised that Hope Hicks, the young
and rather inexperienced communications director, is writing a
statement when she has a clear conflict of interest. It’s a normal
day down at the Trump White House. But other Republicans and
people who care about our national security need to speak up.
Enough of this stuff.
RUHLE: I want to know what family values means these days.
Because it’s certainly strange to me. At the very least, she’s got
to break up with the guy. Hey, Congressman, thank you so much
for joining me this morning, I really appreciate it.
MALONEY: Thanks, Stephanie.
 BREAKING: Another Longtime
Aide To James Comey OUT At FBI
By Joshua Caplan
February 8, 2018, 3:32 Pm
Michael Kortan, the FBI’s Head of Public
Affairs and longtime aide to former
bureau chief James Comey, is leaving
his post.
FOX News reports:
The longtime head of public affairs at the
FBI — who was a confidant of former
director James Comey — is planning to
retire, Fox News has learned.
A notice went out this week for a retirement
get-together for Michael Kortan scheduled
for Feb. 15. Since 2009, Kortan has served
as assistant director for public affairs, an
influential job that controlled media
access. He also served under former
director Robert Mueller, now leading the
Russia probe. […]
It’s unclear whether the retirement was
long-planned or in any way precipitated by
recent events. The FBI emphasized he was
finishing 33 years of service.
After Comey became director in September
2013, Kortan helped facilitate regular on-
the-record briefings with beat reporters, a
departure from previous directors.
Kortan also was front and center during the
Hillary Clinton email investigation, and
169
especially in July 2016 — coordinating
media coverage and handing out copies of
Comey’s public statement recommending
against criminal charges in the
investigation into mishandling of classified
information.
Kortan joins a growing list of key officials leaving the FBI
amid Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s probe into the
bureau’s Clinton email investigation.
Former FBI special agent Josh Campbell recently quit the
bureau to join CNN, citing increasing levels of criticism
directed at the agency.
In a New York Times op-ed, Campbell wrote,
“To be effective, the F.B.I. must be
believed and must maintain the support of
the public it serves. … These political
attacks on the bureau must stop.”
“If those critics of the agency persuade the
public that the F.B.I. cannot be trusted,
they will also have succeeded in making
our nation less safe,” Campbell added.
In what was a significant shakeup at the FBI, Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe stepped down January 29th.
“McCabe, who served a brief stint as acting
director of the bureau, was already
expected to leave. He will stay on ‘terminal
leave’ until he is eligible to retire with
benefits in March,” reported CNBC.
According to the Washington Post, McCabe intended to
resign from the FBI once he was eligible for full pension
benefits in March.
In late January, James Rybicki, a top FBI official who was
once chief of staff to James Comey and current Bureau
Director Christopher Wray, resigned as well.
 McCarthy: Lisa Page’s Text PROVES
That Mueller CANNOT Plausibly Charge
Trump With ‘OBSTRUCTION’
By Usafeaturesmedia
Posted On February 8, 2018
Counterintelligence investigations are quite
different
(National Sentinel) In the Clear: Former national security
federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy cleared up some
misunderstandings about yesterday’s alleged “bombshell”
revelation in which FBI lawyer Lisa Page texted her lover,
FBI agent Peter Strzok, that President Obama “wants to
know everything we’re doing” in terms of the
counterintelligence investigation into Team Trump.
In addressing reports about the revelation in conservative
media, McCarthy wrote in his column for National Review
that
“Your play here is not that Obama is a liar.
It is that the president is supposed to
‘interfere’ in intelligence investigations.
That makes the Trump-Russia obstruction
narrative patently absurd.”
McCarthy goes on to note that he has, for more than a year
and well before special counsel Robert Mueller’s
appointment, been touting the difference between
a counterintelligence investigation and a criminal probe.
“Criminal investigations are about
prosecuting people who violate the penal
law. Political officials are generally
supposed to stay out of them because we
are a rule-of-law society — we want
individual cases to be decided strictly by
the law, not by political considerations,” he
wrote.
170
He notes further:
There is not, nor should there be, complete
independence between politics and this
law-enforcement mission: Law enforcement
is an executive political responsibility; the
president is accountable for it; he sets the
government’s law-enforcement priorities;
prosecutors and investigators exercise the
president’s power, not their own; and the
president has undeniable constitutional
authority to wade into investigations —
even to the point of pardoning law-
breakers. Still, by and large, the president
should not interfere in criminal cases. If the
president does interfere, he should do so
transparently: Issue a pardon or order the
investigation closed, and take the political
heat for it; don’t stage-manage a farce to
make it look like your crony is being
exonerated by a real investigation when
everyone knows you will not permit
charges to be filed (see, e.g., the Clinton
emails case).
Counterintelligence investigations are quite different,
McCarthy — who specialized in them as a U.S. attorney
— said. Since they are not about violations of penal law,
there is no worry that political officials get involved in
them, especially presidents because counterintelligence is
performed on behalf of presidents.
“Counterintelligence is an information-
gathering exercise undertaken for one
purpose and one purpose alone: to inform
the president, through his subordinate
intelligence officials, of information about
threats to, and opportunities to advance,
American interests,” McCarthy clarified.
“The president is never supposed to resist
‘interference’ in counterintelligence. To the
contrary, informing the president is the
reason the FBI has a counterintelligence
 mission,” McCarthy explained. “Indeed, the
information derived from
counterintelligence operations is often
included in the president’s daily intelligence
briefing.”
McCarthy referenced the Sept. 16, 2016, text sent from
Page to Strzok, in which the pair were discussing “talking
points” being provided for then-FBI Director James
Comey so he could brief President Obama, because
“potus wants to know everything we are
doing.”
“It appears obvious that the two are
referring to ‘everything we are doing in
what was then their most important
counterintelligence initiative: the probe of
possible connections between Donald
Trump, then the Republican nominee for
president, and the Kremlin,” McCarthy
wrote.
The former national security prosecutor noted that Strzok
and Page were working off information provided to the
bureau and the Justice Department received via the
infamous “Trump dossier” gathered by Christopher Steele,
a former British spy who had provided the FBI with
reliable information in the past.
Though it appears as though the FBI failed to verify the
contents of the dossier, the bureau was nevertheless
obligated to brief Obama because, again, it was
counterintelligence. Obama’s and the campaign of Hillary
Clinton’s motives for creating the dossier aside, it cannot
be argued that the document was not considered as
evidence in a counterintelligence investigation.
More:
Put aside what you think about all this
politically as we sit here in February 2018.
The question is what people were thinking
in September 2016. I have no doubt that
the Obama administration, including the
upper echelons of the Obama-era Justice
Department and FBI, believed Donald
Trump was unfit to be president and that he
was at least vulnerable to blackmail by the
Putin regime, if not in cahoots with the
Putin regime. I also have no doubt that they
were politically aligned with Hillary Clinton,
whom Obama was ardently supporting and
a criminal investigation against whom the
FBI and Justice Department had dropped,
despite substantial evidence of guilt, after
Obama had signaled that he did not want
Mrs. Clinton charged.
171
The point here is not to sort out the
motivations and intentions of officials,
which ran the spectrum from a proper
desire to protect the country to a politicized
loss of objectivity that induced them blindly
to accept Steele’s sensational claims as
fact. The point is to understand formally
what was going on.
Formally, the FBI was doing a
counterintelligence investigation of Russian
threats to the United States that happened
to involve the Kremlin’s potential coopting
of the Republican presidential candidate.
That was something the FBI was supposed
to keep the president of the United States
informed about. Informing the president
about foreign threats is the FBI’s
counterintelligence mission. If the FBI
credited the information involved and
Director Comey had nevertheless failed to
brief President Obama on it, he would have
been guilty of an indefensible dereliction of
duty.
McCarthy notes that indeed, Obama’s April 2016
statement to Fox News‘ Chris Matthews that he never
interfered in Justice Department investigations was
comically false as he ran the most politicized DOJ in
modern history. He even signaled during the interview that
he did not believe she did anything wrong — at least
intentionally so — which was a sign to prosecutors and the
FBI the president wanted her cleared.
And she was.
“Yet it is frivolous to claim that Obama’s “no
interference” assertion in April was a lie
because he got briefed by Comey in
September about the Trump-Russia caper,”
McCarthy writes, because in that April
interview, Obama was talking
about criminal investigations.
The following September, as indicated by the Page-Strzok
text, Obama was being briefed on counterintelligence
operations, by comparison.
“A president cannot ‘interfere’ with a
counterintelligence investigation because
keeping the president informed is the
reason we have counterintelligence
investigations.
“Consequently, what this episode ought to
focus the commentariat on is the
obstruction angle of the Mueller
investigation. It is cockamamie,” writes
McCarthy.
He notes:
The theory behind this aspect of the special
counsel’s work is that President Trump
obstructed the Russia probe by, principally,
(a) leaning on Comey to drop the
investigation of Michael Flynn, (b) firing
Comey, and (c) “threatening” to fire
Mueller. Here is the problem: The Russia
investigation is principally a prosecutorial discretion (an executive
counterintelligence investigation into
Russia’s interference in the 2016
investigation. The president cannot
interfere in a counterintelligence
investigation. Trump can no more obstruct
the Russia investigation by taking actions
that could conceivably affect it than Obama
could obstruct the Russia investigation by
being briefed on it and giving the FBI
directions on it. Counterintelligence
investigations are conducted for the
president.
The point of them is to provide the president with all
relevant information he needs to make decisions about
protecting the country and advancing American interests.
That’s also the point of the ‘Russia’ investigation.
Democrats and others obsessed with ‘getting Trump’ fail
to make the distinction that counterintelligence operations
are conducted to inform the president, McCarthy notes; if
Mueller is conducting a criminal probe, then the Justice
Department was required to make that point clear when it
appointed him.
The DOJ did no such thing. In fact, Deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller without
alleging that Trump or members of his campaign team
even committed any violations of law.
172
“But let’s set that aside,” McCarthy
continued:
According to Director Comey, Trump was
not a criminal suspect. Asking Comey to go
easy on Flynn — who was under criminal
investigation for lying to the FBI — cannot
legitimately have turned Trump into a
suspect. As we’ve covered at length, the
president is authorized to exercise
power) by weighing in on the merits of
prosecuting a person; Trump did not direct
Comey to drop the investigation, though he
could have; Trump could have pardoned
Flynn, which would have ended the
investigation; and the investigation
proceeded apace — ultimately leading to
Flynn’s guilty plea.
As for firing Comey and purportedly
threatening to fire Mueller (in fact, Trump
has not taken any serious step in the
direction of removing the special counsel),
these are imagined by Trump detractors
into obstruction episodes because they
show Trump interfering in the Russia
investigation. But the Russia investigation
is a counterintelligence investigation.
Trump gets to “interfere” in it if he chooses
to. Though he grouses about it, he does
not seem to have much inclination to
interfere in it.
If there is no criminal investigation of Trump — and there
is no indication there is — then it is not constitutionally
possible for him to “obstruct” a counterintelligence probe
since they are conducted for the president McCarthy
concluded.

 Poll: 50% Think Federal Officials Broke
The Law To Block Trump Presidency
By Mike LaChance
Posted on February 8, 2018
A new poll shows that nearly half of those asked believe
that federal officials actively tried to keep Trump from
becoming president. This news will come as no surprise to
Trump supporters. All you have to do is turn on the news
to see members of the establishment still freaking out
about the election more than a year later.
Rasmussen Reports has the details:

50% Think Senior Law Enforcement
Officials Broke the Law to Block Trump
Presidency
A once-secret memo released last week
scrutinizes the FBI and Justice Department
officials for their surveillance practices of a
former Trump campaign adviser, and half
of voters think those officials went too far.
A new Rasmussen Reports national
telephone and online survey finds that 50%
of Likely U.S. Voters believe it’s at least
Somewhat Likely senior federal law
enforcement officials broke the law in an
effort to prevent Donald Trump from
winning the presidency, including 32% who
think it’s Very Likely. Forty percent (40%)
think it’s not likely these officials broke the
law, with 25% who feel it’s Not At All Likely.
This is one of the main reasons why so
many people are skeptical about the
Russia investigation. It looks like the left
is still trying to reverse the outcome of
the election.
 Judicial Watch Sues FBI For Documents On Comey Book
Deal, Coordination Before Senate Intel Testimony
By Joshua Caplan
February 8, 2018, 4:00 Pm
On Thursday, Judicial Watch
announced it is suing the FBI for
documents on James Comey’s book
deal. In addition, the conservative
watchdog is demanding the FBI hand
over documents detailing coordination
undertaken by Comey ahead of his
testimony before the Senate Intelligence
Committee on June 8th, 2017.
Via Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch announced today it filed a
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit
against the Justice Department for FBI
records about former Director James
Comey’s book, which he signed to write in
August 2017 and is set for publication in
April 2018 (Judicial Watch v. U.S.
Department of Justice, (No. 1:18-cv-
00220)). […]
Judicial Watch filed suit on January 31 in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia after the Justice
Department failed to respond to an August 14, 2017 FOIA
request for:
 All records of communications between the FBI and
Comey prior to and regarding Comey’s testimony
176
before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on
June 8, 2017.
 All records of communications between the FBI and
Comey relating to an upcoming book to be authored by
Comey and published.
 All records, including but not limited to forms completed
by Comey, relating to the requirement for
prepublication review by the FBI of any book to be
authored by Comey with the intent to be published or
otherwise publicly available.
Remember Comey’s memos detailing conversations he
had with President Trump that were leaked to the New
York Times?
On June 8th, Comey told Congress,
“I asked a friend of mine to share the
content of the memo with a reporter
[for The New York Times]. I didn’t do it
myself for a variety of reasons, but I asked
him to because I thought that might prompt
the appointment of a special counsel.”
Turns out Comey’s “friend,” was Columbia University law
professor Daniel Richman, who is now his lawyer.
According to reports, the fired bureau head is pulling
what The Federalist‘s Sean Davis believes is “amazingly
dirty,” claiming attorney-client privilege after leaking
“stolen documents,” to friend Daniel Richman, who he
now says is his lawyer — a title Comey did not reveal
Richman had during his sworn testimony before Senate
investigators

 Trump UNLOADS On DEM Sen. Warner For
‘EXTENSIVE CONTACT’ With ‘Russian Oligarch’ —
Tied To ‘Crooked Hillary’
By Usafeaturesmedia
Posted On February 9, 2018

“I’m in,” Waldman, whose firm has ties to Steele has not agreed to an interview with
Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner… the committee.

(National Sentinel) Et tu, Brutus? President Donald J.

Trump took to Twitter on Thursday to lambast U.S. Sen
Mark Warner, D-Va., vice-chairman of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, for clandestinely working through
a Russian oligarch to set up a meeting with “Russian
dossier” author Christopher Steele.
As reported by Fox News:
Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on
the Senate Intelligence Committee who has
been leading a congressional investigation
into President Trump’s alleged ties to
Russia, had extensive contact last year
with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch who
was offering Warner access to former
British spy and dossier author Christopher
Steele, according to text messages
obtained exclusively by Fox News.
“We have so much to discuss u need to be
careful but we can help our country,”
Warner texted the lobbyist, Adam
Waldman, on March 22, 2017.
“I’m in,” Waldman, whose firm has ties to
Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner.
Steele famously put together the anti-
Trump dossier of unverified information that
was used by FBI and Justice Department
officials in October 2016 to get a warrant to
conduct surveillance of former Trump
adviser Carter Page. Despite the efforts,
As the conservation heated up on March 29, secrecy
appeared to be very important to Warner after the lobbyist
revealed that Steele was seeking to publish a bipartisan
letter from Warner and the committee’s chairman, Sen.
Richard Burr, R-N.C., that invited him to address the intel
panel, Fox News‘ Ed Henry reported.
“Throughout the text exchanges, Warner
seemed particularly intent on connecting
directly with Steele without anyone else on
the Senate Intelligence Committee being in
the loop — at least initially,” Henry wrote.
“In one text to the lobbyist, Warner wrote
that he would ‘rather not have a paper trail’
of his messages.”
The messages were given to Fox News by a Republican
source. They were marked “Confidential” but were not
classified.
Henry further noted:
Waldman, who did not return calls seeking
comments, runs the Endeavor Group in
Washington.
Waldman is best known for signing a
$40,000 monthly retainer in 2009 and 2010

178
 to lobby the U.S. government on behalf of
controversial Russian billionaire Oleg V.
Deripaska. Deripraska had his visa revoked
by the State Department in 2006 because
of charges, which he has denied, that he
has organized crime ties.
The revelations stirred President Trump to address
Warner’s back-channel dealing on Twitter.
.
179
“Wow! -Senator Mark Warner got caught
having extensive contact with a lobbyist for
a Russian oligarch. Warner did not want a
‘paper trail’ on a ‘private’ meeting (in
London) he requested with Steele of
fraudulent Dossier fame. All tied into
Crooked Hillary,” said the president.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., defended Warner, claiming he
disclosed this information to the committee months ago.
Henry noted during an interview with Fox News‘ Martha
McCallum that Republican operatives tied to the
committee released the texts to make the point that
some Demorats who have been hammering Trump for a
year about his campaign team’s alleged ties to Russian
officials have themselves had back-channel dealings with
Russians.

 Comey Memoir Release Date Moved
Up Because FBI Is Under “Intense Scrutiny”

Crooked Comey’s memoir “Higher
Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership” is
set to be released April 17th instead of
the original publishing date of May 1st.
The publisher says the release date was moved up because
the FBI is under “intense scrutiny”.
Flatiron Books confirmed Wednesday the release of
Comey’s memoir
“We are confirming that A Higher Loyalty
by @Comey has a new publication date!
You can get your copy on April 17th.”
USA Today reported:
Noting that the FBI is “under intense
scrutiny,” James Comey’s publisher is
moving up the release date of his memoir A
Higher Loyalty.
Flatiron President Bob Miller and Publisher
Amy Einhorn say that there was demand
for the former FBI director to be heard amid
183
an “urgent conversation” about the bureau.
President Donald Trump and his
supporters have repeatedly criticized the
investigation into his campaign’s alleged
ties with Russian officials.
The reason why the FBI is under intense scrutiny is
because of James Comey’s failed leadership. Comey is
responsible for corrupting the top brass of the FBI.
Comey misled the FISA court to obtain a spy warrant on
Trump’s camp and gave classified memos to a friend to
leak to the press in order to prompt a Special Counsel.
He also exonerated Hillary Clinton before interviewing 17
witnesses and handed out immunity like candy.
Crooked Comey is excited for his book release. On
February 6th Comey tweeted he was “putting finishing
touches” on his book.
He then said he was looking forward to its
release and joining the discussion about
ethical leadership.
According to the Washington Post, publisher Flatiron
Books paid Comey $2 million advance for book.
On Thursday, Judicial Watch
announced it is suing the FBI for
documents on James Comey’s book
deal.
Stay tuned. The Gateway Pundit will be reporting on
Comey’s book of lies as soon as it is published (or before
if it’s leaked to the public).

 Bannon: ‘Why Are McConnell,
Ryan Letting DEMS Investigate TRUMP?’
By Usafeaturesmedia
Posted On February 9, 2018
“Not only do you have a special prosecutor
and the Justice Department and a couple
of grand juries…”
(National Sentinel) Swamp: Former White House chief
strategist Steve Bannon believes that Republican leaders in
Congress are helping Democrats nullify President Donald
J. Trump’s victory by allowing what he believes are
politically motivated investigations against him to
continue.
“The nullification of this election, I don’t
think is coming from the Left,” Bannon told
Charlie Rose in an interview that was
released in full Tuesday night.
Portions of the interview aired on “60 Minutes” on
Sunday, which included Bannon saying he does not think
that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky and House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconson
want the president’s “populist, economic nationalist
agenda to be implemented.”
In the full interview, Bannon said,
.
185
“Not only do you have a special prosecutor
and the Justice Department and a couple
of grand juries. You have on Capitol Hill …
with Republican leadership, you have three
separate committees.
“You have, I think, two in the Senate and
one in the House,” Bannon said in
reference to the Senate Judiciary and
Intelligence Committees and the House
Intelligence Committee. “And they are
investigating him and sending out
subpoenas, and they’ve had some big
breaks already.”
As noted by The Daily Caller:
The House Intelligence Committee has
received a cache of documents from the
Trump Organization, the Senate Judiciary
Committee has questioned Donald Trump
Jr, and former Trump campaign chairman
Paul Manafort has testified before the
Senate Intelligence Committee.
“Principally the Republican leadership has
allowed three committees to go and
principally be run by Democrats,” Bannon
said.
“I think [California Democratic Rep. Adam
Schiff] is running the House committee …
looks like [Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark
Warner] is running the Senate committee
and not [Republican North Carolina Sen.
Richard Burr].”

Organize ‘Private Mtg’ With Dossier Author Through
Lobbyist Of Russian Oligarch (VIDEO)

What a Stunning Development– You
Just Can’t Make This Stuff Up…
Democrat Senator Mark Warner tried to
organize a secret private meeting with
Christopher Steele the author of the
anti-Trump dossier.
Warner is the leading Democrat and
Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence
Committee.
Warner used the lobbyist of a Russian
oligarch to organize the secret meeting.
Via Lou Dobbs Tonight:

186
FOX News reported:
Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on
the Senate Intelligence Committee who has
been leading a congressional investigation
into President Trump’s alleged ties to
Russia, had extensive contact last year
with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch
who was offering Warner access to former
British spy and dossier author Christopher
Steele, according to text messages
obtained exclusively by Fox News.
“We have so much to discuss u need to be
careful but we can help our country,”
Warner texted the lobbyist, Adam
Waldman, on March 22, 2017.
“I’m in,” Waldman, whose firm has ties to
Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner.
Steele famously put together the anti-Trump dossier of
unverified information that was used by FBI and Justice
Department officials in October 2016 to get a warrant to
conduct surveillance of former Trump adviser Carter Page.
Despite the efforts, Steele has not agreed to an interview
with the committee.
 CNN Warns Of Russian Collusion...
At The National Prayer Breakfast?!
By Tim Graham
February 8, 2018 7:31 PM EST
The C in CNN must stand for Collusion (with Russia),
since positively everything presidential magnetically
acquires an obsessed-with-Russia angle. This one is a
standout: they infiltrated the National Prayer Breakfast!
CNN.com reported "Big Russian Delegation Anticipated
For Prayer Breakfast In Washington." It's not really
about prayer and breakfast, it's a
"prime networking opportunity for Beltway
insiders. But this year's event is also an
opportunity for dozens of Russians."
The "big delegation" drew its own scare tweet:
Inside CNN's own story, it is obvious that the Russian
delegation is tiny compared to the size of the audience.
Breakfast organizer A. Larry Ross told CNN
"I can confirm that this year, the Breakfast
will be attended by more than 3,800
individuals representing over 130
countries and territories around the world.
Approximately 55 are coming from
Russia, including a group of 35 young
187
professionals -- millennial doctors, lawyers
and business leaders in their 20s and 30s -
- invited out of a context of relationship and
faith."
But before this discouraging math that Russians were
about 1.5 percent of attendees emerged, CNN played up
the Russian influence-peddling sure to unfold:
One Russian official who was invited, Aleksandr Zharkov,
told the Russian business newspaper RBC,
"It's a very unique situation, because
despite all these difficulties we have (in
relations with the US), the quota for
Russians is very high this year."
Added Zharkov,
"It is a sin not to use any platform possible
for negotiations between different layers of
society."
Two Russian officials said a "Russia house" -- a space to
hold informal meetings -- would be organized at the event.
However, the Russian government is not sending an
official delegation.
The spike in the number of Russians attending the event
compared to last year comes amid multiple ongoing
investigations into possible collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russia as well as continued fallout from
Russian interference in the 2016 election.
CNN's reporters also conceded many of the Russians
attending the breakfast this year are senior religious
figures. Konstantin Bendas, a bishop of the Russian Union
of Christians of the Evangelical Faith, said he felt the need
to go this year because the US-Russian relationship had
deteriorated so much.
"It's the right time for believers -- Christian
people -- to unite for at least a day, bend
the knee and pray for peace and unity
without politics," Bendas told CNN.
.
188
But CNN is all about the politics.
But CNN clearly prodded him to cast doubt on the other
Russians:
"I suppose the majority of members of the
(Russian) delegation don't want to pray;
they want to mingle," he said. And many
might be attending to "try to solve their own
problems, that is -- their name possibly
appearing in future sanctions lists."

 Trump Maligned As Mad ‘Dictator’ By Estrella TV
By Kathleen Krumhansl and Ken Oliver
February 8, 2018 8:27 PM EST
President Trump’s desire to celebrate a massive national
event, comparable to the annual French Bastille Day
military parade, to showcase and honor the Armed Forces
of the United States has been pounced upon by the liberal
media as a perfect opportunity to portray Trump as a
budding tyrant.
Instead of straightforward reporting on Trump
administration - and critics’ - views of the proposed
parade, media like Spanish-language Estrella TV have
rushed to frame the news around the developing event in
the worst possible way.
“Dictator style” is how Estrella TV
presented the proposed parade on screen
to its viewers, with anchor Adriana Yañez
characterizing Trump’s patriotic initiative as
an "act of madness” and the Los Angeles-
based network’s reporter, Oscar Sosa,
judging the Bastille Day-based concept to
be “in the exact style of Kim Jon Un or
Vladimir Putin.”
ADRIANA YAÑEZ, ANCHOR, ESTRELLA
TV: And Donald Trump doesn’t stop
surprising Americans with his acts of
madness. Now, he’s asked for a military
parade to intimidate his enemies. Oscar
Sosa has more.
OSCAR SOSA, REPORTER, ESTRELLA
TV: In the exact style of Kim Jon Un or
Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump has asked
for a military parade to show off American
power and emphasize his role as the
Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
Only later in the report did Sosa make passing reference to
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders statement on
the subject, in which she explained that
.
194
“the President is simply exploring different
ways that he can highlight and show the
pride that we have in the military, the
people that have served and sacrificed to
allow us all of the freedoms that we have.”
Sosa entirely omitted from his report that Trump’s idea for
the parade was born out of his experience as guest of honor
at last year’s Bastille Day Military Parade The President
himself was quoted, after watching the impressive, united
display of French military forces, that it was a
“tremendous thing for France and for the
spirit of France.”
Below is the transcript of the above-referenced report,
which aired during the February 7, 2018 edition of
Noticiero Estrella TV.
ADRIANA YAÑEZ, ANCHOR, ESTRELLA
TV: And Donald Trump doesn’t stop
surprising Americans with his acts of
madness. Now, he’s asked for a military
parade to intimidate his enemies. Oscar
Sosa has more.
OSCAR SOSA, REPORTER, ESTRELLA
TV: In the exact style of Kim Jon Un or
Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump has asked
for a military parade to show off American
power and emphasize his role as the
Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
The White House and the Pentagon confirmed the
President´s request and insisted that they were already
evaluating how the parade could be organized, but did not
give a date for the event.
The government´s Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders, said that
the idea of the President is to recognize the heroic work of
U.S. military men and women, who risk their lives to keep
the peace of the country and the entire world.
As expected, the President´s proposal unleashed all kinds
of criticism from Democrats. One of them was from
Congressman Jim McGovern, who described the request as
an absurd idea to waste Americans’ money.
The United States has not organized a large scale military
parade since June 1991, after winning the first Gulf War.
On that occasion, almost 9000 soldiers marched through
downtown Washington, attracting some 200,000 thousand
spectators.
 ABC Blames Trump Tax Cuts For
Dow Plunging Twice In One Week
By Nicholas Fondacaro
February 8, 2018 8:54 PM EST
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by over 1,000
points by Thursday's closing and the folks at ABC News
were eager to place the blame on someone during World
News Tonight. That someone, of course, was President
Trump and the much welcomed GOP tax cuts, which were
responsible for generous bonuses and wage increases
across the country.
“Tonight, some economists also say the
President's tax cuts could actually be
adding to all of this, by stimulating an
already improving economy,” claimed
ABC reporter Linzie Janis. “And the
question, who pays for those cuts later
on?”
Their questions over who was going to pay for it wasn’t a
sentiment shared during their report on the
absolutely massive spending bill before the Senate to ward
off against another possible government shutdown. The
only thing they seemed to care about was why a deal on
DACA and for the Dreamers wasn’t included in the
proposal.
On top of their smears of the tax cuts, sensationalist anchor
David Muir loaded up his introduction to the segment with
hyperbole and fearful language.
“And as the White House was riding out
this latest storm, traders on Wall Street
were riding out the latest plunge on the
Dow. The stock market, once again, in a
freefall today,” he declared. “And what
does it mean for your retirement, your
401(k)?”
195
“The look on their faces says it all.
Anxious traders on Wall Street as the
Dow closed more than 1,000 points
lower. Coming on top of Monday's
massive selloff, the largest one-day
drop in history,” Janis added.
And according to Janis, the reason the market was volatile
was that the economy was doing too good.
“Tonight, investors tell ABC News the
fast and furious selloff is actually about
anxiety the economy is doing too well
too quickly. And fears the federal
reserve may have to hike rates more
aggressively this year in order to keep
inflation under control,” she explained.
But according to others, the volatility was driven by
computer algorithms over analyzing the market.
Janis also seemed dismissive of President Trump's
grievance with the swings:
“The President tweeting after Monday's
losses: ‘In the old days, when good news
was reported, the stock market would go
up. Today, when good news is reported,
the stock market goes down. Big mistake.’”
As a Media Research Center study found
earlier this week, the liberal networks
mostly ignored the Dow’s history rise to
above 26,000 and all the records it left
busted in its wake.
But now that the market was undergoing an anticipated
correction, they were on top of it. And where they were
hesitant to credit Trump with the success, they were quick
to burden him with the perceived failure.
The relevant portions of the transcript are below:
ABC

6:36:35 PM Eastern
DAVID MUIR: And as the White House was riding out this latest
storm, traders on Wall Street were riding out the latest plunge on
the Dow. The stock market, once again, in a freefall today. The
Dow losing more than 1,000 points today, sinking below 24,000,
down 10 percent in two weeks that's what's considered an official
correction now. But with unemployment low and a strong
economy, what's really behind this? And what does it mean for
your retirement, your 401(k)? ABC's Linzie Janis tonight at the
New York stock exchange.

LINZIE JANIS: The look on their faces says it all. Anxious traders
on Wall Street as the Dow closed more than 1,000 points lower.
Coming on top of Monday's massive selloff, the largest one-day
drop in history. The Dow is now down 10 percent from its high in
January. That's considered an official correction.
Tonight, investors tell ABC News the fast and furious selloff is
actually about anxiety the economy is doing too well too quickly.
And fears the federal reserve may have to hike rates more
aggressively this year in order to keep inflation under control.
(…)
JANIS: The President tweeting after Monday's losses: "In the old
days, when good news was reported, the stock market would go
up. Today, when good news is reported, the stock market goes
down. Big mistake."
Tonight, some economists also say the President's tax cuts could
actually be adding to all of this, by stimulating an already
improving economy. And the question, who pays for those cuts
later on? Still, if you put $1,000 in a 401(k) one year ago, the
average investor would still be up about 12 percent, meaning that
would now be worth about $1,125.

 Hypocrisy: Matthews Rebuffs
Trump-O.J. Simpson Comparison,
Used It Himself Last Year
By Curtis Houck
February 8, 2018 9:01 PM EST
On Thursday’s Hardball, host Chris Matthews took issue
with guest and former Obama Justice Department official
Neal Katyal when he compared President Trump’s
behavior during the Russia probe to O.J. Simpson trying to
discredit the LAPD during his murder.
Now, why mention this? While Matthews quibbling with a
point raised by a guest is nothing new, it’s noteworthy
because the pundit seemed to have suffered some amnesia
since he made a similar Trump-Simpson comparison
less than a year ago.
For 2018, Katyal observed that “Donald
Trump is not acting like the President”
but instead “acting really like O.J.” in that
“defense lawyers know that when you
have a client who’s guilty, you've got
one good card to play and that is attack
law enforcement, attack the prosecutor,
call them biased.”
“And that's what the President's
strategy has been and it's a lot worse
here than what an ordinary private
citizen like O.J., O.J. is a private citizen.
He’s has no duties to law enforcement
or anything, but the President is, of
course, oath bound to stand up for law
enforcement,” Katyal added.
Katyal tried to continued on, but Matthews
interrupted to push back out of supposed
fairness because “the metaphor there,
you know, Johnny Cochran knew that
the LAPD had a bad reputation,
198
especially in the black community out
there for unfairness.”
“So, he played into a reality. It wasn't
like he created this image of the LAPD.
They had it,” Matthews opined, which
Katyal conceded since Trump employing
this strategy is “worse” because he’s
supposed to be “standing up for the law
enforcement and for the justice
system.”
As for Matthews’s hypocrisy, he ended his July 20, 2017
show by noting the significance of Trump stating in a New
York Times interview that Special Counsel Robert
Mueller should not cross hiss red line by examining the
First Family’s finances.
Here’s what Matthews said:
As Trump sees things, people working in
the federal government works for Donald
Trump, and that includes U.S. Senators
from Nevada who don’t share the political
assessments on health care to Attorneys
Generals who he wants to serve as his
personal Johnnie Cochrans and Special
Counsels named specifically to investigate
him, Donald Trump. Well, Donald Trump,
we all need to know is now seeing himself
as above investigating.
All told, it shouldn’t be surprising that he was this short-
sighted. After all, he is Chris Matthews.

February 8, 2018
7:34 p.m. Eastern
CHRIS MATTHEWS: How do you see this from two sides,
watching these two sides of Mueller moving along, grinding along
quietly, not doing any press and then you see the President and
his people coming up with all these memos and midnight rides
and anything to confuse the game?
NEAL KATYAL: Yeah. You're absolutely right, Chris. Every time
that Mueller or the other people on his team find something out,
the President throws up some sort of chaff or dust and says look
over here, look over there or something like that. And at this
point, Donald Trump is not acting like the President. He's acting
really like O.J. I mean, we defense lawyers know that when you
have a client who’s guilty, you've got one good card to play and
that is attack law enforcement, attack the prosecutor, call them
biased. And that's what the President's strategy has been and it's
a lot worse here than what an ordinary private citizen like O.J.,
O.J. is a private citizen. He’s has no duties to law enforcement or
anything, but the President is, of course, oath bound to stand up
for law enforcement and the other thing is that O.J. or —
.
199
MATTHEWS: Just to be fair about that, the metaphor there, you
know, Johnny Cochran knew that the LAPD had a bad
reputation, especially in the black community out there for
unfairness. So, he played into a reality. It wasn't like he created
—
KATYAL: Right.
MATTHEWS: — this image of the LAPD. They had it.
KATYAL: Absolutely. 100 percent, Chris and that's what makes
this worse. The FBI is the pride of the world in terms of law
enforcement and the President should be, like every other
president, standing up for the law enforcement and for the justice
system and saying look, I'll cooperate. I trust you. We have the
American justice system which is the envy of the world. Instead,
this President goes and attacks them in a way no president has
done and it's a lot worse than a private citizen. Remember all the
weapons Donald Trump has at his disposal. He's already fired
the chief investigator Jim Comey. He's got an army of taxpayer-
funded lawyers to defend him unlike private citizens and of
course, he's got his own guy, Rod Rosenstein supervising his
investigation, the investigation of him. So that's unlike any private
citizen and the idea that he then goes and denigrates law
enforcement, boy, that is just a horrible thing.

 Joe Concha: Media’s Trump Anger
Mostly ‘Performance Art At This Point’
By Nicholas Fondacaro
February 9, 2018 12:27 AM EST

Square in '89. Would he be joined by

reporters, do you think?”

After it was made public that President Trump had

requested the Pentagon to plan a military parade through
Washington, DC, there was a steady stream of forceful
condemnation of the President in which they claimed he
was imitating foreign dictators. And in an appearance on
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight Thursday, Hill media
reporter Joe Concha knocked them for playing up their
outrage and playing to an audience.
“I know you are not a physician and I'm
not either. But, do you think it's healthy
to be as angry as a lot of these cable
figures seem to be all the time every
day,” Carlson quipped to Concha’s
apparent amusement.
“Oh, I think we’re seeing a lot more
performance art at this point, Tucker. I
think we have talked about this,” Concha
explained. “They are playing to a crowd.
They know that their audience primarily
is anti-Trump on some other networks.
And they are just playing into their
emotions. I don't even think they are
angry about half this stuff. They say,
“Okay, what can we do to rile up our
audience today?”
After introducing Concha to his viewers, Carlson admitted
that he really didn’t care whether or not a military parade
was held. But he did find humor in the idea of the anti-
Trump resistance trying to protest it:
Concha joked that judging from the all the clip of angry
journalists he played many in the media would join the
liberal man. He then went on to point out just how
ridiculous it was to get all up in arms over a parade:
I go to a couple parades that go on there
per year. In fact, there are actually more
than 20 parades per year basically almost
every week during the summer in New
York … The point is we have a lot of
parades in this country and even outside
this country, South Korea, where the
Winter Olympics are starting tomorrow they
had military parades. France you
mentioned that before, it’s where the
President got his idea.
The Hill media reporter expertly made the observation that
if one was to substitute the name “Trump” in the headlines
with a Democrat the media fawned over, then all their
outrage just wouldn’t be there.
“And let's say Joe Biden said: “You
know what would be a great idea? To

Tucker Carlson Tonight

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s a bit bad if the President likes
something the press will hate it. It’s like a physics principle
opposite reaction thing. Reaching new extremes on that though,
this week it emerged that after visiting France the president
became enthusiastic about a military parade and thought why
should have one here like the one after World War II or Desert
Storm. So, of course, he was labeled a tyrant almost
immediately.
(…)
CARLSON: Who let all the dumb people on TV? It’s
unbelievable. Joe Concha covers the media for The Hill he joins
us tonight. So, Joe, my favorite. By the way, I'm totally agnostic. I
just don't have any strong feelings one way or the other, but I do
love the guy—I think he was a Green Party candidate for
something, who said he was going to stand in front of the tanks
like tank man in Tiananmen Square in '89. Would he be joined by
reporters, do you think?
JOE CONCHA: It’s sounding like it based on that montage,
Tucker. Look, I'm in New Jersey. Background kind of gives that
away. And in New York, I go to a couple parades that go on there
per year. In fact, there are actually more than 20 parades per
year basically almost every week during the summer in New
York. I mean, you have the Coney Island mermaid parade, you
have the Pulaski parade which honors a Polish American hero
from the American revolutionary war. Then you have the big ones
like Macy's and the Saint Patrick's day parade which I may or
may not have been too. The details are sketchy. The point is we
have a lot of parades in this country and even outside this
country, South Korea, where the Winter Olympics are starting
tomorrow they had military parades. France you mentioned that
before, it’s where the President got his idea.
.
204
Look, I always love to play a game in these situations. Take out
the name “Trump” proposes military parade and put in a name
like Biden. And let's say Joe Biden said: “You know what would
be a great idea? To honor the folks in our military July 4th, in
Washington, D.C.” Would you see one snip of a reaction? I don't
think so.
CARLSON: Can I ask you sort of a meta question here? If Trump
is a dangerous authoritarian dictator, why does it seem like left-
wing federal judges are making all the key decisions?
CONCHA: That's a very good point. I mean, as far as press
freedoms, I can at least speak to that. We had a daily briefing
today. We’ve had daily briefings almost every day. And reporters
are still on Air Force One. It seems the freedom of the press in
terms of the opinions and the ability to report hasn't been
impeded in any way. So, the totalitarianism argument doesn't
seem to really apply here.
(…)
CARLSON: So, very quickly, I know you are not a physician and
I'm not either. But, do you think it's healthy to be as angry as a lot
of these cable figures seem to be all the time every day?
CONCHA: Oh, I think we’re seeing a lot more performance art at
this point, Tucker. I think we have talked about this. They are
playing to a crowd. They know that their audience primarily is
anti-Trump on some other networks. And they are just playing
into their emotions. I don't even think they are angry about half
this stuff. They say, “Okay, what can we do to rile up our
audience today?”
CARLSON: Good. I hope not because I'm starting to worry about
Jim Acosta. Is he going to be okay? But that's reassuring. Joe,
thank you very much.

 Criminal Clinton Cabal Crumbles –
The Real Russian Hoax Exposed As Democrats Ironically
Caught Colluding With Russia
-Deep State, Democrats And Media In Panic Mode
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline
February 9, 2018
Let me be as blunt as I can be right here and now. I do not
care one iota if Russia purchased ads on Facebook during
the 2016 election, just as I could give a damn if they had
"bot" farms or whatever they are called to push trending
hasthags on Twitter. I also do not care a bit if they were
behind the DNC leaks, although Wikileaks founder Julian
Assange, who published those leaks, says Russia wasn't
the source, but even if they were, I don't care. Neither
Wikileaks (nor Russia or whoever leaked them to
Wikileaks) altered the content, the leaks were very real
emails, sent by the DNC and Clinton campaign, showing
they rigged the primaries against Bernie Sanders, then they
proceeded to collude with the mainstream media to
influence the election in favor of Hillary Clinton. So,
whoever leaked the information to Wikileaks, no matter
who it was, helped inform the American public of what the
MSM didn't.
Takes some mighty big stones to cry publicly about the
American people being told the truth for a change.
Why don't I care? Two reasons.
Reason One - The U.S. has a long history
of meddling in the politics and yes, the
elections, in other countries. Historical data
shows the U.S. has a "long history of
rigging polls, supporting military coups,
channeling funds and spreading political
propaganda in other countries," and a
207
break down of the data, shows that in 70
percent of those examples, the U.S. was
the "meddling" entity.
Dov Levin, an academic from the Institute
for Politics and Strategy at Carnegie Mellon
University, has calculated the vast scale of
election interventions by both the US and
Russia. According to his research, there
were 117 “partisan electoral interventions”
between 1946 and 2000. That’s around
one of every nine competitive elections
held since Second World War.
The majority of these – almost 70 per cent
– were cases of US interference.
And these are not all from the Cold War
era; 21 such interventions took place
between 1990 and 2000, of which 18
were by the US.
So excuse the heck out of me if the hyperventilation on the
left and the MSM over the fact that Russia, or whoever,
bought some ads, hired some trolls and maybe revealed to
Americans how corrupt the DNC and The Hillary Clinton
campaign, and the American liberal mainstream media
was, sounds a bit hypocritical to me.
Second Reason - The second and most
important reason I don't care a fig about
Russia is because the so-called "Russia
meddling" was nothing, not even a blip on
the radar, compared to the "meddling" in a
U.S. presidential election by senior
members of the DOJ, FBI, State
department, the Obama administration,
former British spy Christopher Steele, and
the Hillary Clinton campaign and its allies,
and the mainstream media, to manufacture
and then perpetuate the real Russia Hoax
upon the American people.
CRIMINAL CLINTON CABAL CRUMBLES
The real Russia Hoax wasn't that Russia attempted to sow
discord through social media, ad buys, troll farms or even
hacks into the DNC and the Clinton campaign, if they were
behind those, which we truly cannot be sure if since the
very same intelligence communities that made that claim,
were full of senior members that we now know were part
of the true Russia Hoax, which was accusations against the
Trump campaign about "colluding" with Russia.
Considering the cornucopia of information that has been
revealed since we first learned of senior FBI official Peter
Strzok and his lover FBI lawyer Lisa Page's text messages,
showing not only anti-Trump bias ran rampant at the top
levels of both the FBI and the DOJ, where they actively
plotted a "path" to clear Hillary Clinton of wrong-doing in
regards to her private email server and classified email
scandal, but they also arranged an "insurance policy,"
which we later discovered was the whole "Russia colluded
with Trump" hoax, it has become apparent that there was
huge conspiracy to frame Donald Trump on bogus charges,
that included a whole host of top level Obama officials.
New Information:
We now find out that two more people
referenced by Strzok and Page in their text
messages, have announced they are
leaving their positions. They include the
FBI's media chief, Mike Kortan, and the
head of the Justice Department's anti-
espionage section, David Laufman. These
departures follow "FBI Director James
Comey, who was fired by Trump; former
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe; Comey’s
chief of staff, James Rybicki; FBI General
Counsel James Baker; as well as Strzok,
who was booted off the special counsel
investigation and sent to a job in the FBI’s
personnel division," as reported by Politico.
According to conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt,
Laufman's resignation is a "big deal." In a series of social
media statements, Hewitt shared the following:
208
From one of my long time (but now retired)
AUSA pals: “David Laufman resignation is
a big deal.
As Dep. Assist. AG for National Security
Division, he was the Primary Supervisor
over Counter-Intelligence work in Nat Sec.
He would have had a hand in the approval
of the FISA application on Page.
He likely had a role in the decision making
on the Clinton email investigation since his
section handled cases involving leaks of
classified information. The decisions on
granting immunity, and allowing conditions
to be attached to the examination of
computers, would have come from his
office. I do not think those were conditions
that the FBI would have wanted. On the
immunity issue, FBI wouldn't have the
authority -- that could only come from the
prosecutors in Nat Sec.
The press reporting is that he offered his
resignation yesterday, effective
IMMEDIATELY.
That's what happens when you are told
that your are the subject of an OPR or OIG
investigation.
He was in the post since 2014 -- under
Carlin, Yates, and Lynch in the chain of
command.” This source isn’t perfect. None
are. But very very accurate over many
years.
This week we also found out from the Grassley/Graham
Senate Judiciary Committee memo, that information
obtained from a foreign source by a Clinton confidant, was
fed to a State Department official, then handed over to
Christopher Steele who was hired by Fusion GPS, paid by
the Clinton campaign and the DNC, to help compile the
much-talked about Kremlin sourced Steele dossier, which
was then used, without verification, by FBI and DOJ
officials under Obama, to obtain multiple FISA warrants
on a Trump advisor Carter Page.
New Information:
We now the names of the Clinton
associate, and the State Department
official and how the "media and law
enforcement echo chamber of Russia
collusion," as it is described by Clinical
Professor of Law and Director of the
Securities Law Clinic at Cornell Law
School, William A. Jacobson, al began and
continued to feed the Great Russia Hoax of
collusion.
The Clinton associate was Sidney Blumenthal, known as
"Vicious Sid," and the State department employee
was Jonathan M. Winer, former U.S. deputy assistant
secretary of state for John Kerry during the Obama
administration, who admits he had a long-standing
information sharing relations with both Christopher Steele
and Sidney Blumenthal.
In September 2016, Steele and I met in
Washington and discussed the information
now known as the “dossier.” Steele’s
sources suggested that the Kremlin not
only had been behind the hacking of the
Democratic National Committee and the
Hillary Clinton campaign but also had
compromised Trump and developed ties
with his associates and campaign.
I was allowed to review, but not to keep, a
copy of these reports to enable me to alert
the State Department. I prepared a two-
page summary and shared it with Nuland,
who indicated that, like me, she felt that the
secretary of state needed to be made
aware of this material.
In late September, I spoke with an old
friend, Sidney Blumenthal, whom I met 30
years ago when I was investigating the
Iran-contra affair for then-Sen. Kerry and
Blumenthal was a reporter at The Post. At
the time, Russian hacking was at the front
and center in the 2016 presidential
campaign. The emails of Blumenthal, who
had a long association with Bill and Hillary
Clinton, had been hacked in 2013 through
a Russian server.
While talking about that hacking,
Blumenthal and I discussed Steele’s
reports. He showed me notes gathered by
a journalist I did not know, Cody Shearer,
that alleged the Russians had
compromising information on Trump of a
sexual and financial nature.
Why would a lawyer, that understands one has the right to
remain silent in order to not self-incriminate, admit to this
little circle jerk of sharing Kremlin sourced information?
Because House intelligence Committee chairman Devin
Nunes already knew about it and is targeting Winer in
"phase two" of their investigation, which already produced
the much talked about four-page FISA abuse memo, and
Winer is trying to get the media spinning in his favor
beforehand, and used the Washington Post to try to control
the narrative.
Note- It is no surprise that Wapo is helping
"spin" the narrative, as we know that Wapo
met personally with Steele on at least two
209
occassions as they played their part in
manufacturing the Great Russia Hoax."
Fox News reported Winer's connection and Representative
Trey Gowdy confirmed Blumenthal's connection at the end
of the interview video clip below.
Professor Jacobson captures the crux of the manufacturing
of the Great Russia Hoax very succinctly in one paragraph
when he writes
"Hillary’s campaign and the DNC paid
for the Steele dossier. Other Clinton
operatives, such as Sidney Blumenthal
and Cody Shearer, were spreading
similar accusations and sharing
information with Steele. Steele was also
feeding accusations to the media.
Employees of the FBI and possibly
other agencies who hated Trump used
that information both before and after
the election."
TWO DEMOCRATS REALLY DID TRY TO
COLLUDE WITH RUSSIA
New Information:
We also learned this week that two of the
loudest Democrats in Congress screaming
Russia collusion against President Trump
and his campaign members, ironically
claiming that the Trump campaign colluded
with Russia against Hillary Clinton, both
attempted to colluded with Russia or Steele
to obtain Russian sourced information
against President Trump.
I kid you not.
One of the most vocal Democratic House members, and
leaker, Rep. Adam Schiff was pranked by Russian
hoaxsters that claimed to have nude images of Donald
Trump, and he aggressively tried to obtain the non-existent
photos to give to the FBI.
Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on
the House Intelligence Committee, was
pranked last year by Russian comedians
who offered nude photos of President
Trump.
Schiff thought he had been speaking with
Ukrainian politician Andriy Parubiy, who
offered potentially explosive information
about Trump’s visit to Russia during the
Miss Universe pageant in 2013, The
Atlantic reported.
Schiff cautioned the man that “our Russian
friends” could be eavesdropping on the
call, and told him not to share anything he
wouldn’t want them to hear.
But the man went on to say that the
Russians had “pictures of naked Trump”
and Russian President Vladimir Putin
wanted Trump to know that “all those
compromising materials will never be
released if Trump will cancel all Russian
sanctions.”
Schiff then told the man that his office
would work with FBI to figure out “how we
can obtain copies.”
The California Democrat, however, had
actually been speaking with Vladimir
Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, two
Russian pranksters known as Vovan and
Lexus.
The second Democratic politician is Senator Mark Warner,
who apparently "texted with Russian oligarch lobbyist in
effort to contact dossier author Christopher Steele," as
reported by Fox News.
Secrecy seemed very important to Warner
as the conversation with Waldman heated
up March 29, when the lobbyist revealed
that Steele wanted a bipartisan letter from
Warner and the committee’s chairman,
North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard
Burr, inviting him to talk to the Senate
intelligence panel.
Throughout the text exchanges, Warner
seemed particularly intent on connecting
directly with Steele without anyone else on
the Senate Intelligence Committee being in
the loop -- at least initially. In one text to the
lobbyist, Warner wrote that he would
210
"rather not have a paper trail" of his
messages.
The extreme irony and hypocrisy of Democrats accusing
the Trump campaign of "colluding" with Russia against
Hillary Clinton with absolutely no proof of said collusion,
claiming it is a crime, while at the same time they were
"colluding" with Russia to obtain information against
Donald Trump.... cannot be overstated.

BOTTOM LINE
One by one those implicated in attempting to rig the 2016
presidential election in favor of Hillary Clinton and against
Donald Trump, the "Criminal Clinton Cabal," are being
investigated, resigning, being reassigned while
investigations are pending against them, and being
exposed publicly as their whole narrative of "Russia
collusion with Trump" becomes a documented case of
Clinton allies, senior level intelligence community
members, the MSM and Democratic politicians, all
colluding with either Russia or those obtaining information
from Russia.
Watching the Criminal Clinton Cabal crumble has been
intensely satisfying, seeing new revelations weekly, and in
many cases even daily, and all this is happening before the
final report from the year-long DOJ Office of Inspector
General report has even been written.
What will be more satisfying is seeing indictments and
charges filed against the Clinton cabal members of the
intelligence community after the IG report is completed,
flipping the low level fish in order to catch bigger fish,
because make no mistake, seeing a few "sacrifices" at the
bottom levels, are not going to be sufficient, when senior
members of the Obama administration, that held positions
of power, perhaps leading straight to the top, Obama
himself, attempted to rig a presidential election by
perpetrating one of the biggest hoaxes upon the American
people, ever.
The deep state, Democrats and the MSM are in panic mode
as their carefully planned conspiracy implodes.

clips, or even an opening statement which lays out the
evidence documented to date, but below is the entire Sean
Hannity show from February 8, 2018, where his initial

 President Trump’s Debt Increase Is A Third Of Obama’s
Debt Increase And The President Is Decreasing
The Debt To GDP Ratio
By Jim Hoft
February 9, 2018, 7:40 Am
In spite of the fact that President Trump
took over with nearly $20 trillion of debt
and the related interest payments on the
debt, and in spite of the Federal Reserve
(FED) under Janet Yellen increasing
interest rates by a full 1 percent since
the 2016 election, President Donald
Trump’s debt is one third and $1.2
trillion less than Obama’s.
The US Debt since President Trump was inaugurated on
January 20th, 2016 through today has increased by only
$547 billion. On inauguration day the debt was at $19.9
trillion and on February 7th, 2018 the debt stood at $20.5
trillion.
Although a half a trillion dollars is a lot
of money added to the debt, it is a
fraction of what President Obama added
during the same time frame in his first
year plus in office.
Where President Trump increased the
Debt to date by only 2.7% , Obama
increased the debt by 16.2% or 13.5%
more than President Trump.
President Obama inherited a US Debt amount of $10.6
trillion on his inauguration and increased it by more than
$1.7 trillion by the end of his first year in office.
212
Obama increased the US Debt amount
by $1.2 trillion more than President
Trump in the same respective time in
office. In addition, President Trump has
been able to limit the amount of new
debt in spite of the massive increase in
debt from Obama ($10 trillion) and the
rising interest rates initiated by the Fed.
Right after Barack Obama was elected President, on
December 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve (The Fed)
lowered the Fed Funds rate by an entire percent, from 1%
down to 0% . The Fed had not lowered the Fed Funds rate
by such a large amount (1% ) since at least before 1990, if
ever. The Fed kept this 0% rate for most of Obama’s eight
years in office.
CNBC reported in December 2015 that
President Obama oversaw “seven years
of the most accommodative monetary
policy in U.S. history” (from the Fed).
The Fed Funds rate was at zero for most of Obama’s time
in office. Finally, in December 2015 the Fed announced its
first increase in the Fed Funds rate during the Obama
Presidency.
The only Fed Funds Rate increases since 2015 were after
President Trump was elected President. The Fed increased
the Fed Funds Rate on December 14, 2016, March 15th,
2017, June 14, 2017 and again on December 13, 2017.
Four times the Fed has increased rates
on President Trump after doing so only
once on President Obama late in his 2nd
term.
The Fed Funds Rate greatly impacts the economy:
Lower interest rates usually spur the economy by making
corporate and consumer borrowing easier. Higher interest
rates are intended to slow down the economy by making
borrowing harder.

 HUGE: Comey Was FORCED To Tell Congress About
Weiner Emails Only Because George Toscas
At DOJ Found Out About Them!
By Jim Hoft
February 9, 2018, 8:33 Am
On Wednesday the Senate Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee released a majority staff
report titled “The Clinton Email Scandal And The FBI’s
Investigation Of It.” The committee also released
thousands of text messages between two agents and
lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that shed light on the
criminal intent of deep state players to avoid prosecution
of Hillary Clinton and to block and destroy a Trump
presidency.
215
One text message exchange is making the rounds on the
internet today.
Peter Strzok was the Chief of the Counterespionage
Section during the FBI’s investigation into Hillary
Clinton’s use of a personal email server. He also hated
Donald Trump along with his lover Lisa Page.
In this exchange posted online Peter Strzok admits the
DOJ was forced to tell Congress about the Weiner laptop
emails only because George Toscas at the DOJ found out
about them.
The FBI sat on this evidence for a month before turning it
over to Congress and only because they couldn’t hide it
from George Toscas.
Strzok’s attitude towards Congress: “F
them.”
In 2016, George Zeno Toscas was a General Attorney at
the Offices, Boards and Divisions in Washington, District
Of Columbia.
Toscas was the guy that gave Comey
shit for calling the Hillary Investigation a
“matter”!
“As the meeting broke up, George Z.

ribbed Mr. Comey.
“I guess you’re the Federal Bureau of
Matters now,” Mr. Toscas said, according
to two people who were there.”

Prior to the 2016 presidential election, if one were to ask
what single act could seal a new Cold War with Russia,
align liberals and progressives with the operational core of
the American military-industrial-surveillance complex,
expose the preponderance of left-activism as an offshoot of
Democratic Party operations and consign most of what
remained to personal invective against an empirically
dangerous leader, consensus would likely have it that
doing so wouldn’t be easy.
The decision to blame Russian meddling for Hillary
Clinton’s electoral loss was made in the immediate
aftermath of the election by her senior campaign staff.
Within days the received wisdom amongst Clinton
supporters was that the election had been stolen and that
Donald Trump was set to enter the White House as a pawn
of the Russian political leadership. Left out was the history
of U.S. – Russian relations; that the largest voting bloc in
the 2016 election was eligible voters who didn’t vote and
that domestic business interests substantially control the
American electoral process.
Graph: The Democrats’ choice to blame external forces, e.g. Russian
meddling, for their electoral loss in 2016 ignores evidence of that
none-of-the-above is the people’s choice. The largest voting bloc in
the 2016 election was eligible voters who chose not to vote. In contrast
to the received wisdom in political consultant circles, choosing not to
vote is a political act. The U.S. has the lowest voter turnout in the
‘developed’ world for a reason. Source: electproject.org.
More than a year later, no credible evidence has been put
forward to establish that any votes were changed due to
‘external’ meddling. As the Intercept has reported, since
the election progressive candidates seeking public office
have been systematically subverted by establishment
Democrats in favor of those with connections to big-
money donors. And the Democratic Party leadership in
219
congress just voted to give Mr. Trump expanded spying
powers with fewer restraints. Congressional Democrats are
certainly behaving as if they believe Mr. Trump was duly
elected. And more to the point, they are supporting his
program.
The choice of Russia would seem bizarre if not for the
history. Residual propaganda from the first Cold War—
itself largely a business enterprise that provided
ideological cover for American imperial incursions, had it
that substantive grievances against the American
government, in the form of protests, were universally the
product of ‘external’ enemies intent on sowing discord to
promote their own interests. This slander was used against
the Civil Rights movement, organized labor, anti-war
protesters and the counterculture of the 1960s.
Therefore, the choice by the Clintonites to invoke a new
Cold War by bringing Russia into the American electoral
mix is not without a past. Students of history may recall
that in the early 1990s Mikhail Gorbachev was given
assurances by senior members of George H.W. Bush’s
administration that NATO would not be expanded to
Russia’s border in exchange for Russia’s help re-
integrating East and West Germany. It was Bill Clinton
who unilaterally abrogated these assurances and moved
nuclear-armed NATO to Russia’s border.
In 2013 the Obama administration ‘brokered’ (Mr.
Obama’s term) a coup in the former Soviet state of
Ukraine that ousted the democratically elected President to
install persons favorable to the interests of Western
oligarchs. At the time Hillary Clinton had just vacated her
post as Mr. Obama’s Secretary of State to prepare for her
2016 run for president, but her lieutenants, including
Victoria Nuland, were active in coordinating the coup and
deciding who the new ‘leadership’ of Ukraine would be.
An analogy would be if Russia moved troops and
weaponry to the Mexican border with the U.S. after giving
assurances that it wouldn’t do so and then engineered a
coup (in Mexico) to install a government friendly to the
interests of the Russian political leadership. One needn’t
be sympathetic to Russian interests to understand that
these are provocations. Given U.S. and Russian nuclear
weapons stockpiles, the provocations seem more reckless
than ‘tough.’ Then consider Mr. Obama’s, later Trump’s,
move to ‘upgrade’ the U.S. nuclear arsenal toward
‘tactical’ use.
This is to suggest that it certainly makes sense that the
Russian political leadership would want to keep American
militarists, a/k/a the Clintons and their neocon ‘crazies,’
out of White House. But as of now, the evidence is that the
Russians changed no votes in the 2016 election. As far as
inciting dissent— the charge that protests were organized
by Russian ‘interests,’ not only does this reek of prior
misdirection by the FBI and CIA, but there is no evidence
that any such protests had an impact on the outcome of the
2016 election.
Given Mr. Trump’s belligerent (unhinged) rhetoric toward
North Korea, if enhancing geopolitical stability was the
Russians’ goal, Mr. Trump must be a disappointment.
Unfortunately for Mr. Trump’s critics (among whom I
count myself), there is a lot of ‘theory’ from American
think tanks that supports crazy as a strategy. And it was
after Mr. Trump’s provocative posture toward North
Korea became widely known that senior Democrats voted
to give him additional NSA powers with fewer restrictions.
The most cynically brilliant outcome of the ‘blame Russia’
campaign has been to neuter left activism by focusing the
attack on Donald Trump rather than the interests he
represents. As evidence, the proportion of Goldman Sachs
alumni in Mr. Trump’s administration approximates that in
Mr. Obama’s and what was expected for Mrs. Clinton’s. If
the problem is Donald Trump, then the solution is ‘not
Trump.’ However, if the problem is that the rich
substantially control American political outcomes, how
would electing ‘not Trump’ bring about resolution?
As it is, within days of the 2016 election Mr. Trump, his
supporters plus the political opponents of Mrs. Clinton
were recast as stooges of the Kremlin. George W. Bush
and Dick Cheney had required loyalty oaths from their
stalwarts. But even a loyalty oath wouldn’t prove that one
isn’t a stooge of the Kremlin. And the larger problem with
the theory (of Russian meddling) is that the U.S. electoral
system was already thoroughly corrupted by economic
power.
As students of the scientific method know, you can’t
‘prove’ a negative. Condoleezza Rice used this knowledge
in 2003 to sell the George W. Bush administration’s
calamitous war against Iraq through the charge that the
proof that Saddam Hussein had an ongoing WMD program
is that he hadn’t handed over his WMDs. As history has it,
Mr. Hussein couldn’t hand over his WMDs because he
didn’t have any to hand over. How then would critics of
Mrs. Clinton ‘prove’ they weren’t / aren’t acting on behalf
of foreign interests?
The answer lies with Democratic Party loyalists. Much as
Bush – Cheney supporters were impervious to logical and
220
evidentiary challenges to the rationales given for the war
against Iraq, Clintonites believe what they believe because
they believe it. For those with an interest and some
knowledge of empirical research, read the myriad articles
touting ‘proof’ of Russian meddling and find a single
instance where such proof is provided. Or with an eye
toward not being the half of Republicans who still believe
that Saddam Hussein had WMDs, bring the proof forward
if it exists.
Here is the disclaimer taken from the National Intelligence
Estimate.
The National Intelligence Estimate, initially claimed to be
based on input from 17 intelligence agencies, later reduced
to selected representatives from three of the agencies
(NSA, CIA and FBI), provides no proof for claims of
Russian meddling and states quite openly that it is
conjecture. Amongst these agencies, one (NSA) is known
for illegally spying on Americans and lying about it to
congress, the second (CIA) provided fraudulent ‘evidence’
to drag the U.S. into a calamitous war against Iraq where it
ran illegal torture camps and the third (FBI) has such a
checkered history that is was called ‘Gestapo’ by former
U.S. president Harry Truman.
Here is James Clapper, the former Director of National
Intelligence, lying to congress about NSA spying. Here is
Trevor Timm in the Columbia (University) Journalism
Review explaining the many ways former head of the NSA
and CIA Michael Hayden has lied to congress and the
American people. Here is a brief history of
COINTELPRO and FBI attempts to disrupt and discredit
the Civil Rights movement. At the time that FBI Director
J. Edgar Hoover was accusing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
of being a communist (link above), the term approximated
being an agent of Russia.
(Here is a compendium of links related to claims made in
this piece: Promise by U.S. that NATO wouldn’t expand to
surround Russia. Bill Clinton expands NATO to Eastern
Bloc to surround Russia. Barack Obama admits U.S. role
in Ukraine coup. James Clapper committing perjury.
Victoria Nuland discusses overthrowing the democratically
elected government of Ukraine and installing U.S. puppets.
Backstory of CIA and Robert Sheer that supports argument
Propornot is government operation with ties to Ukrainian
fascists.)
There is circumstantial evidence that the first list of
‘Russian-linked’ websites published by the ‘credible’
media, that of Propornot published in the Washington Post
(in their ‘Business’ section) to which a disclaimer was
subsequently added, was the work of Ukrainians with links
to the CIA. The Propornot website (link above) is worth
visiting to get a sense of how implausible the whole
enterprise is. On it former Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury for Ronald Reagan, Paul Craig Roberts, is listed
prominently as a puppet of the Kremlin. And deep-
research political website Washington’s Blog made the
honor roll as well.
More recently, the New York Times cited the German
Marshall Fund as an authority on Russian meddling. The
German Marshall fund (U.S.) is headed by Karen
Donfried, a former Obama Administration official and
operative for the National Intelligence Council. The
National Intelligence Council supports the Director of
National Intelligence. Here (again) is James Clapper, the
former Director of National Intelligence, lying to congress
about NSA spying. Derek Chollet, Executive Vice
President of the fund, is the former Assistant Secretary of
Defense for the Obama administration and a senior
member of Hillary Clinton’s Policy Planning Staff.
The question for the Left is why liberals and progressives
would align themselves with Hayden, Clapper, the FBI,
CIA and NSA, and suspect organizations like Propornot
and the German Marshall Fund when most have spent their
entire existences trying to undermine and shut down the
Left? The (near-term) cynical brilliance of the Democrats’
strategy is through revival of the Cold War frame of
national interests that was always a cover for imperial
business schemes. As the Intercept articles (links above)
have well- uncovered, this is all just business for the
Democrats anyway. Can you say class warfare?
Assuming for a moment that not everyone is playing the
Democrats’ one-dimensional checkers, if the Russian
political leadership really intended to ‘undermine the U.S.-
led liberal democratic order,’ as the NIE puts it, it is doing
Mrs. Clinton a disservice to suggest that she wasn’t up to
the job. From the Clintons’ 1994 Crime Bill to
deregulating Wall Street to support for George W. Bush’s
calamitous war against Iraq to the U.S. / NATO
destruction of Libya, Mrs. Clinton has ‘undermine(d) the
U.S.-led liberal democratic order’ just fine.
221
Likely not considered when the Russian meddling
hypothesis was originally put forward is what happens
next? The initial charge that America’s ‘sacred democratic
tradition’ was soiled when the Russian political leadership
hacked the election has run up against the apparent fact
that no votes have been found to have been changed. The
charge that AstroTurf protests organized by the Russians
led to dissent smells a lot like the last half-century of FBI /
CIA lies against / about the Left. And the charge that
narcissistic plutocrat Trump has been ‘compromised’
misses that he was already compromised by the
circumstances of his birth and upbringing. This is the
problem.
The Democrats, in their wisdom, have given a gift to the
U.S. intelligence ‘community’ that provides political cover
for closing down inconvenient commentary and disrupting
inconvenient political organizations. A political Left with a
brain would be busy thinking through strategy for when
the internet becomes completely unusable for organizing
and communication. The unifying factor in the initial ‘fake
news’ purge was criticism of Hillary Clinton. Print media,
a once viable alternative, has been all but destroyed by the
move to the internet. This capability needs to be rebuilt.
Bourgeois incredulity that Donald Trump still has
supporters could be seen by an inquisitive Left through a
lens of class struggle. Yes, his effective supporters are
rich, just as the national Democrats’ are— the term for this
is plutocracy. But back in the realm of human beings,
rising deaths of despair tie in theory and fact to the
wholesale abandonment of the American people by the
political class. An inquisitive Left would be talking to
these people, not at them. The Russian meddling story is a
sideshow with a political purpose. But class struggle
remains the relevant story.
 BREAKING: “Rather Not Have A Paper Trail” Top Dem
Texted Russian Oligarch Lobbyist With App That
DELETES ALL MESSAGES
By Lucian Wintrich
February 9, 2018, 9:36 Am

According to an exclusive story just published on Fox

News, the acne-scarred congressman was aware of the
questionable nature of his politically-motivated contact
with the lobbyist and repeatedly urged for “secrecy.”

To guarantee some of this secrecy,

Sen Warner was communicating with
the Russian Oligarch’s Lobbyist
through the encrypted messaging app,
Signal. Werner had his messages on
Signal set to disappear after a
designated amount of time as evidenced
by the hourglass icon at the top right of

Mark Warner (D-VA) tried to organize a secret private
meeting with Christopher Steele the author of the Clinton-
funded, invalidated, anti-Trump dossier; he used the
lobbyist of a Russian oligarch to organize the secret
meeting.

Full story via Fox News:
Throughout the text exchanges, Warner
seemed particularly intent on connecting
directly with Steele without anyone else on
the Senate Intelligence Committee being in
the loop — at least initially. In one text to
the lobbyist, Warner wrote that he would
“rather not have a paper trail” of his
messages.
An aide to Warner confirmed to Fox News
that the text messages are authentic. The
messages, which were obtained from a
Republican source, are all marked
“CONFIDENTIAL” and are not classified.
They were turned over to the Senate panel
by Waldman last September.
Waldman, who did not return calls seeking comments,
runs the Endeavor Group in Washington.
Waldman is best known for signing a $40,000 monthly
retainer in 2009 and 2010 to lobby the U.S. government on
behalf of controversial Russian billionaire Oleg V.
Deripaska. Deripraska had his visa revoked by the State
Department in 2006 because of charges, which he has
denied, that he has organized crime ties.
An aide to Burr, the Republican chairman, told Fox News
that Burr was aware of the “contact” Warner made with
Steele’s representative but added,
“I don’t believe he was aware of the
content of the text messages” initially. […]
The two men appear to have finally connected about Steele
by phone on March 22, according to the records.
.
244
“Hey just tried u again gotta give a speech
but really want to finish our talk,” Warner
texted.
Waldman, at one point, texted back that Steele really
wanted a bi-partisan letter requesting his testimony first.
He added that Steele was concerned about word leaking to
the media that they were talking.
In one text, Warner suggested he did not want Burr or any
other senator included in the discussions: “Ok but I wud
(sic) like to do prelim call u me and him no one else before
letter just so we have to trail to start want to discuss scope
first before letter no leaks.”
Waldman noted repeatedly that Steele was concerned
about leaks and was “spooked” by all of the attention he
had received around the world. Steele, he said, was skittish
about talking to Warner.
Warner texted back on March 30:
“We want to do this right private in London
don’t want to send letter yet cuz if we can’t
get agreement wud rather not have paper
trail.”
On April 5, Warner texted, “Any word on
Steele.”
“Yes seems to have cold feet from the
leaks. Said he wanted a bipartisan letter
followed by written questions,” texted
Waldman, adding that the Wall Street
Journal had contacted him asking if he was
an intermediary between the panel and
Steele.
In the text messages, Warner also discussed the possibility
of a trip to see Steele.
 Peter Strzok Suggested Mystery FISA Application
Contained ‘Material Misrepresentations’
By Joshua Caplan
February 9, 2018, 10:10 Am

Newly released FBI text messages show
agent Peter Strzok suggested to his
lover, Lisa Page, that ‘material
misrepresentations,’ were made for a
FISA application.
This week, Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey
Graham (R-SC) released a “much-less redacted,” version
of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s criminal referral of
dossier author Christopher Steele.
According to Fox News’ Ed Henry, the memo suggests
Steele misrepresented his findings to the FBI.

“The Grassley memo tonight now goes on

to say that in fact the FBI then went back
after learning that Christopher Steele
misrepresented things and did talk to the
media–the FBI never disclosed that to the
FISA court and kept going back for
renewals of the surveillance warrant and
didn’t say to the court look things have
changed, we no longer think he’s reliable–
he lied to us and spoke to the media,”
reported Henry.

Daily Caller reports:

The exchange occurred on Oct. 16, 2015, well before

Strzok was tapped to lead the investigation into Russian
meddling in the presidential campaign. But it sheds some
light on the FISA process, which is at the center of a
partisan debate because of the FBI and Justice
Department’s use of the unverified Steele dossier to obtain
a FISA warrant to spy on former Trump campaign adviser
Carter Page.

In the text, which was sent to FBI lawyer Lisa Page, Strzok
appears to be criticizing another government official who

 Rachel Maddow Bows and Scrapes
Before Potential President Eric Holder
By Tim Graham
February 9, 2018 11:28 AM EST
Liberal media critics harshly criticize the Fox News
Channel for being overly polite and asking softball
questions to Republican officials. But liberals never seem
to look at how Democrats get gushy, cozy interviews on
CNN and MSNBC. Rachel Maddow's Wednesday-night
bow-and-scrape with Eric Holder is just the latest example.
After asking a few unchallenging set-ups about how
Holder and Obama are working to bend redistricting into
helping Democrats, she went to the ad break:
"I would be remiss if I did not ask you
something about what's going on right now
between the FBI and Justice Department
and the White House. I also would be fired
if I didn't ask you if you're running for
president. So, can I ask you to stay right
there and I will ask you both of those things
when we come back?"
After that powdery pretty-please, and her please-attack-
Trump questions, she asked:
MADDOW: Would you make a better
president? How is that? It's pretty good I
snuck that in there, right?
HOLDER: That`s pretty good.
(LAUGHTER) I think any one of my kids
would make a better president than
Donald Trump….
MADDOW: Are you going to think seriously
about running this year, sir?
246
HOLDER:...I will make a decision at the
end of this year about what I want to do
with regard to a higher office.
MADDOW: Eric Holder, former attorney
general during the Obama administration,
now the chairman of the National
Democratic Redistricting Committee,
thanks for being with us tonight. I know
you're super busy, sir. I really appreciate
your time.
The "sirs" make you wonder if Maddow should wear a tux
like a parking valet. Here is the please-attack-Trump
section on the FBI, with a typical speech/question pleading
for poor Andrew McCabe, without mentioning any of the
sketchy specifics on McCabe slow-walking the Hillary e-
mail probe and McCabe's wife getting hundreds of
thousands in donations from Gov. Terry McAuliffe. She
has the audacity to discuss the "independence" of people
like James Comey and McCabe:
. MADDOW: We are in some uncharted
territory in terms of the relationship
between the president and the justice
system. In the last few months, we have
watched the president and some of his
supporters in Congress really try to work to
discredit the FBI around the investigations
into the president and his campaign but
also sort of in general. In several cases,
they have called out in concerted efforts --
they've called out by names specific FBI
officials.
The case of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, he was
essentially pressured out of bureau. He retired last month.
He's 49 years old.There have also been concerted pressure
campaigns against other named senior Justice Department
and FBI officials. When you're in charge of the Justice
Department and something like that arises, I know you
didn't have to face that same kind of thing, but is there
something that an attorney general or that other people in
positions of authority can do to deal with those kinds of
attacks? Would there be -- is there more that an attorney
general or anybody else could have done to shield the FBI
and senior Justice Department officials from the kind of
pressure that they've been getting?
 HOLDER: That is the exact role an attorney
general has. You are supposed to shield
your people from political pressure. And the
thing -- one of the things that disturbs me
the most is the fact that this attorney
general has for whatever reason been
relatively silent….
MADDOW: If the attorney general fails at
that, is there a Plan B in terms of doing the
most to uphold the rule of law, to uphold
the independence of law enforcement
when an attorney general doesn't take that
.
247
heat? What else -- what are our other
options as a country?
HOLDER: Well, you know, our institutions
are strong. Our norms are being tested, but
they are also strong....The president going
after named career people. The president
saying things about the integrity of those
two institutions, the Justice Department,
the FBI. No other president has ever said
those kinds of things, conducted himself in
that way. [Hillary Clinton and her campaign
attacked Comey...but she didn't come
president.]

 Daily Caller Exposes CNN’s Shady Hiring
Of Former Comey Aide To Provide FBI Spin
By Curtis Houck
February 9, 2018 12:33 PM EST
The Daily Caller’s Saagar Enjeti and Joe Simonson
published an intrepid piece of reporting early Friday
morning exposing CNN’s fishy hiring of former James
Comey flack and 10-year-agent Josh Campbell as its latest
“law enforcement analyst” to defend the FBI from
Republican criticism.
Citing a source, the pair reported that
“Comey had a direct hand in securing
[Campbell’s] CNN position in return for
an exclusive interview” and that
Campbell led up to this by appearing at
Comey’s much-publicized hearing and
published columns in The New York
Times and USA Today defending Comey
and the FBI.
In typical CNN fashion, they frequently hound Fox News
night and day over every perceived or real controversy but
they didn’t have the gall to respond to the Daily Caller’s
questions.
But Facts First...or something.
Enjeti and Simonson began by noting that
the former Comey assistant’s hiring
“disturbs veteran members of the
bureau” and that their relationship “have
raised a number of questions from
these agents over the propriety of
Campbell’s new job” with one 26-year
veteran telling them that “something
smells so bad about this whole thing.”
250
The fact that Campbell only worked at the FBI for 10 years
calls into question whether he possessed any true
“field knowledge to accurately represent
the bureau” and that’s bolstered by the
fact that his last post was “a media
relations role out of the Los Angeles
field office.”
Campbell quit on January 29 with a farewell party that
included a flyer explaining that he would
“defend the bureau” on CNN.
Enjeti and Simonson later noted that Campbell
“deleted his personal website, which
included numerous photos of himself
with Comey,” including “a photo of
himself sitting behind the director” at his
June 8, 2017 hearing that he attended with
“future CNN colleague and former U.S.
Attorney Preet Bharara.”
Despite his biography, the Daily Caller noted that sources
“greatly dispute[d] this
characterization” that Campbell painted of
himself since he “did the minimal amount
of time he could before retiring.”
Along with public criticism on his LinkedIn page,
Campbell built up to his CNN hiring with a cryptic New
Years Eve tweet about his future and other moves such as
“liking” a video related to their pathetic
“Facts First” campaign.
“Both Campbell’s presence at the
Comey hearing and much of his social
media activity occurred while he was
still an employee at the bureau...It
remains unclear why he attended his
former bosses’ hearing while an active
agent,”
Enjeti and Simonson added before summarizing his two
columns that somehow were published despite his
relatively short tenure.
They continued:
Given Campbell’s inexperience at the FBI
and relatively young age of 34, a DCNF
source with close ties to the FBI alleges
that Comey had a direct hand in securing
his new CNN position in return for an
exclusive interview. A Fox News report
published Wednesday alleges a similar
type of deal between the parties.
.
251
CNN has not disclosed Campbell’s
previous history with Comey, nor did it
respond to several requests for comment
from TheDCNF.
(....)
As TheDCNF reported earlier this week,
CNN has repeatedly relied on anonymous
sourcing within the FBI for its stories.
The former agents who spoke to TheDCNF
expressed bewilderment that an active
agent would so nakedly share his
relationship with a news outlet, with the
most conspicuous example being his party
flyer showing him sitting in a CNN studio.
 CNN’s Van Jones To Conan O’Brien:
President Trump ‘Is A Joke’
By Corinne Weaver
February 9, 2018 12:51 PM EST

It’s odd that a CNN anchor would consider a Trump tweet
about him as his biggest achievement.
But CNN’s Van Jones, host of The Van Jones Show, has
reached that paradoxical position in life where not only is
President Trump
“a joke … who has found a way to insult,
offend, and demean every kind of
American,”
“Oprah tweets about it. And then Trump
tweets about it. And you’re like I should
have voted for this guy. Because now it’s
like we have literally a billion impressions
on Twitter. Because once Trump tweets
about you, a lot of people have to put
him in his place. And it’s wonderful.”

but also having the POTUS tweet about him is “the biggest
moment in my career.” In an interview with Conan
O’Brien on February 7, Jones took pride in both bashing
Trump and meriting a Trump tweet.

Conan dryly joked,

“He is in his own way the great uniter.”

Then he followed with another question:

“Has Trump tweeted about you before?

O’Brien introduced Jones to his audience and then related
the story of Jones’ first guest on his show, rapper Jay-Z,
who called the POTUS a “racist superbug.”
The late night talk show host said to Jones,
“[Jay-Z] says some things about Trump,
and then Trump tweets about what he said
on your show. You must have been just on
cloud 9.”
Jones responded,
“The last time I was that happy I was on
Pornhub. It was amazing.”
He continued,
252
You’ve been on CNN for a while now and
you have been fairly outspoken.”
Outspoken is an understatement -- Jones once said that
Trump was “willing to let Americans die” in order to get
his way. In 2002, Jones signed a petition that argued that
9/11 was orchestrated by the Bush administration, and
which caused him to resign as Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar”
in 2009.
Jones responded to Conan:
You know, he never tweeted about me
directly, but there was a time that he, at a
press conference -- well, a behind the
scenes meeting, said that you know, Van
Jones is terrible or whatever. And they
printed that. So I took a screenshot and I
tweeted it. And then I retweeted it, and
unretweeted it and tweeted it again
 because I wanted to make sure that
everybody saw it. It was like the biggest
moment in my career.
Later, after O’Brien asked how Jones felt about Trump’s
statement on Democrats at the State of the Union, Jones
replied,

“I think he is usually a joke, and that is part
of the problem. You know, this is a
character test for the country though. ...He
has found a way to insult, offend and

 GOP Lawmaker: POTUS Expected
To Release Dem Spin Memo Today (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
February 9, 2018, 12:53 Pm

The Democrats have been in spin mode

since the House Intel Committee released
the damning FISA memo last Friday.

The House Minority penned a 10-page

‘counter-memo’ in order to ‘refute’ the
House Majority FISA memo.

On Monday, suspected leaker Rep. Adam

Schiff (D-CA) announced the House Intel
Committee voted unanimously to release the
Democrat spin memo.
Fox News reporter John Roberts reports sources are telling
him Schiff’s spin memo purposely contains information
pertaining to “sources and methods” which will force
POTUS Trump to make redactions. This was done
tactically to make Trump look like he’s censoring the
Dems since he made no changes to Nunes’ memo.
Schiff and the Dems are snakes.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) confirmed there are sources and
methods in the Dem junk memo that must be redacted
before the document is released. Gaetz also said POTUS
Trump is expected to release the junk memo Friday.
“We never want to live in a country where cash
at a political party can be convertible into a
government sponsored warrant to spy on your
political enemies,” Gaetz said.
” I would expect the memo be released today,
maybe tomorrow,” Gaetz said.
Gaetz says many of the footnotes in the Dem memo gives
away many sources and methods which must be redacted
before it is released.
The Democrat spin memo is going through the same
process the Majority memo went through. The president
has 5 days to release the document once the Committee
votes for its release.

Saturday is the deadline.

 Joy Behar, Meghan McCain Clash
On ‘View’ In Fiery Fight Over Republicans
By Kristine Marsh
February 9, 2018 1:44 PM EST
Friday on The View, the most liberal host and most
conservative host clashed repeatedly in a feisty exchange
over the domestic violence accusations against former
White House aide, Rob Porter. While host Meghan
McCain focused on Porter himself, host Joy Behar
couldn’t help but bitterly gripe about how terrible
Republicans and this administration were, which angered
McCain.
Behar began the segment by mocking General John
Kelly’s response to the accusations laid against Porter.
“Kelly says that he was shocked,
shocked I tell you!” Behar quipped
sarcastically with a grin on her face.
“Why is Kelly so shocked, shocked I tell
you?”
Behar said again, smiling with her fists in the air, as the
audience chuckled. McCain wasn’t having Behar’s
sarcasm over the serious issue.
“We shouldn’t make levy [sic] of this. We’re talking about
the abuse of a woman. I mean look at that photo,” McCain
said as the pair talked over each other.
“We’re talking about Kelly, we’re not
talking about abuse right now. Don’t say
something like that!” Behar angrily shot
back.
But the pair weren’t done fighting. “We’re laughing and
this is serious,” McCain responded. But Behar denied she
was making light of the situation. “We are laughing at him
being shocked,” she quipped back.
257
“It’s very serious and as a Republican, I’m offended--”
McCain started to say before a fired up Behar cut in.
“As a Democrat, I'm offended by
Republicans!” Behar said emphatically, as
the audience roared in approval and claps.
Host Sunny Hostin tried to bring some civility back to the
table.
“Look, look ladies -- let's talk about the
issue at hand,” she urged. Turning to guest
host, and fellow attorney HLN’s Nancy
Grace, Hostin suggested that Kelly “didn’t
believe the women” until he saw the
photographs.
“Even if he believed it he wasn't going
to do anything about it,” Behar gushed.
“People need to start believing women.
Starting with this administration. And I think
that's what we're so surprised at. You
know?” Hostin said turning to McCain.
Trying to get the conservative host on the Trump-admin-
bashing-bandwagon, she wondered if McCain would be
upset to learn that no one told Hope Hicks, whom Porter is
allegedly dating, about his past of domestic violence, even
though her ignorance on the matter is pure speculation.
"I don't think this should be political. I don’t think this
should be about Democrats and Republicans,” McCain
responded.
She went on to say that no one should be working in the
White House without security clearance and so some of
this scandal was self-inflicted. Still irritated by Behar’s
earlier outburst, McCain sniped at Behar,
“You're offended by Republicans. So all
Republicans, probably everywhere,
offended by me sitting here because I'm
Republican.”
 “looking forward” to talking civilly with people she
disagreed with politically and

“not being told just because I'm a

Republican I'm offending you.”

She continued,

“We are not going to move a needle one

That resurrected the fight. Behar shot back,
“I'm offended by a party that backs a
racist!”
Flabbergasted, McCain declared:
as some in the audience clapped.
“Oh, my God,” McCain said, rolling her
eyes, disgusted. But Behar was disgusted
as well.
“Oh, c'mon, Meghan. 72% of the
Republican Party thinks he's a good role
model,” she replied.
way or another just throwing out
platitudes and hubris like that. I would
like to have a real conversation about it,”
she said as Behar tried to talk over her.
Sarcastically, Behar quipped, “Oh really?
We’ll see.”
“I don't know why you're sitting here saying
you're offended by all Republicans! I’m
trying to give you my perspective,” she
began to say as Behar interrupted.
“72% of them are backing a racist and
somebody who has abused women.
That's why. That's why,” she ranted.

McCain then told Behar that she was actually going to be

 REPORT: President Trump Proposing
‘Biggest Civil Service Change’ In A Generation
By Joshua Caplan
February 9, 2018, 1:55 Pm
For decades, Donald Trump has said the
U.S. government should be operated like a
business.
Now President Trump is seeking to
implement the ‘biggest civil service change,’
in a generation.
USA Today reports:
President Trump will seek to “hire the best and
fire the worst” federal government
employees under the most ambitious proposal
to overhaul the civil service in 40 years, officials
said. […]
Trump is using the VA Accountability Act, which gave the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs greater authority to fire and
discipline workers, as a model. The White House says that
law has resulted in the dismissal of 1,470 employees, the
suspension of 443, demotions for 83 others last year.
259
Under the current system, federal employees get a review
every one to three years. Employees whose performance is
“fully successful” — as 99.7% are — get a within-grade
“step” increase in addition to annual cost-of-living
increases.
Trump’s plan would stretch out the amount of time it takes
to go from step 1 to step 10 from 18 years to 27 years,
saving $10 billion over the next decade, officials said. That
money would then go to high-performing employees either
as merit raises or one-time bonuses.
During his State of the Union address last week, President
Trump teased plans for an overhaul, stating,
“Tonight, I call on Congress to empower every
Cabinet Secretary with the authority to reward
good workers and to remove federal employees
who undermine the public trust or fail the
American people.”
Rumblings about a shakeup began before President
Trump’s address.
Last month, Robert Shea, a former White House Office of
Management and Budget official hinted to Bloomberg Law
that,
“A pretty substantial reorganization”, may occur
in the near future.
Another source told the publication that,
“OPM may be ready for a big shakeup.”

 ‘Some Are Ready To Talk’:
FBI Officials In Clinton Email Probe May Have
Mishandled ‘Extremely Sensitive & Classified’ Intel
By Joshua Caplan
February 9, 2018, 2:18 Pm
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino told his over
300,000 Twitter followers Friday that FBI officials
involved in the Hillary Clinton email investigation may
have mishandled ‘extremely sensitive and classified
information over.’
“Troubling news-> Hearing from sources that
SES senior managers of the FBI, some who
were involved in the Hillary email investigation,
may have exchanged extremely sensitive &
classified information over unclassified devices.
Concern is growing about an audit & some are
ready to talk,” tweeted Bongino.
Rumors of FBI officials mishandling intel come on the
heels of newly released text messages suggesting former
bureau counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok may have
violated rules protecting classified information by using
his cell phone in a Secure Compartmented Information
Facility (SCIF).
Daily Caller reports:
261
SCIF stands for Secure Compartmented
Information Facility, and it is where the most
sensitive classified material is kept and story.
SCIFs strictly bar all electronic equipment and
require all people place their phones in lockers
before entering.
The lead up to Strzok’s visit to “Jims SCIF” took place
around meetings at the Department of Justice. Strzok said
he had meetings at
“DoJ at 4 then Baker 430.”
Hours later, Page responds,
“Can you and [redacted woman] come up and
see me when you are done? Is [redacted
woman] with you? Can you please come up
here?” […]
“We’re in Jims SCIF,” Strzok texted five minutes
later. JB/Jim may refer to Jim Baker, then the
FBI’s general counsel and a close ally of then-
FBI Director Jim Comey.
This isn’t the first time Strzok and Page’s cell phone use
has raised eyebrows. Text messages released Wednesday
by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham
(R-SC) suggest the disgraced FBI agents used untraceable
phones to communicate about Hillary Clinton.
“We text on that phone when we talk about
Hillary so it can’t be traced,” Strzok texted to
Page.
Fox News contributor Sara A. Carter previously
reported text messages exchanged between Strzok and
Page revealed discussions about purchasing Apple iPhones
to bypass “government collection,” systems. During one of
their exchanges, Strzok told Page,
“If I want to copy/take classified, I’m sure as hell
not going to do it on this phone.”
 Strzok and Page’s usage of unsecured phones has raised
concerns that their messages may have been hacked by
“foreign actors.” Fox News contributor Sara Carter
has raised the prospect that countries such as Russia and
China could have used the captured exchanges to
blackmail both the disgraced FBI agents.

 HANNITY WARNS: Evidence Is Coming That
Will “Rock The Foundation Of Washington, D.C.”
(VIDEO)

In an explosive Thursday night monologue,
Fox News host Sean Hannity warned
viewers that evidence is coming that will
‘rock the foundation of Washington, D.C.’
Credit: Fox News
HANNITY:
“Alright, so we’re going to go slow. What we
have been reporting on night after night for over
a year now is turning into a scandal bigger than
Watergate and here’s why this is all so
alarming. All the information we have been
telling you about so far is only a sample of
what’s to come. It’s the tip of the iceberg. Now
these facts, this evidence, will rock the
foundation of Washington, D.C. It will make you
question how is it possible this could ever
happen in the United States of America.”
263
In a Fox News op-ed Tuesday, media icon Sean Hannity
expanded on his Monday night monologue, warning the
Senate Judiciary Committee’s ‘second memo exposing
Deep State corruption,’ should ‘scare,’ the American
people.
Hannity wrote:
Senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham
have released a heavily redacted, yet very
revealing copy of their criminal referral against
ex-British spy Christopher Steele, the author of
the dubious dossier we now know was parlayed
into a FISA warrant by Trump-hating operatives
at the Justice Department. Grassley and
Graham tell us that, while working on a second
dossier for Clinton opposition research firm
Fusion GPS, Steele was being fed information
directly from the Obama State Department and
from Clinton allies as well as his usual, sketchy
Russian sources. That’s right, teams Clinton
and Obama were working with a foreign spy to
undermine then-candidate Donald Trump. […]
The Grassley-Graham memo goes on to say
“it’s troubling enough that the Clinton campaign
funded Mr. Steele’s work, but [worse] that these
Clinton associates were contemporaneously
feeding Mr. Steele’s allegations. It raises huge
additional concerns about his credibility.” […]
You should be scared. And disgusted.
In a letter released Monday, Senators Chuck Grassley (R-
IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) outed the FBI for
attempting to suppress the release of new revelations about
the Steele dossier.
In the same letter, Grassley and Graham say that Steele,
penned a separate memo on then-candidate Donald Trump,
based on information given to him by a Hillary Clinton
contact and unnamed Obama State Department official.
According to Fox News’ Ed Henry, the memo
suggests Steele misrepresented his findings to the FBI.

“The Grassley memo tonight now goes on to

say that in fact the FBI then went back after
learning that Christopher Steele misrepresented
things and did talk to the media–the FBI never
disclosed that to the FISA court and kept going
back for renewals of the surveillance warrant
and didn’t say to the court look things have
changed, we no longer think he’s reliable–he
lied to us and spoke to the media,” reported
Henry.

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s criminal referral of

Steele states the former British intelligence agent misled
the bureau about his connections to Yahoo News and
Mother Jones, despite initially claiming he had no contact
with the media.

 Top Senate Democrat Calls On Treasury Dept. To
Investigate Trump’s Palm Beach Estate Sale 10 YEARS
AGO – Because Russia, Russia, Russia…
By Jim Hoft
February 9, 2018, 5:06 Pm
They will never stop with their insanity.
They will never stop with their lies.
Top Senate Democrat Ron Wyden wants the
US Treasury Department to investigate the
sale of Donald Trump’s six-acre Palm Beach
estate to a Russian billionaire… in 2008 –
Nearly 10 years ago.
Democrats have found no evidence of Trump collusion
with Russians during the election so now they are going
back 100 years to a sale his company made to a Russian he
did not know.
Meanwhile, evidence mounts that Hillary Clinton, Mark
Warner and several Democrat operatives ALL had
significant connections to dubious Russian officials during
the election and after.
.
268
The media refuses to cover those stories.
ABC reported:
A leading Senate Democrat has called on the
Treasury Department to turn over banking and
real estate records related to Donald Trump’s
2008 sale of a six-acre Palm Beach estate to a
Russian billionaire – a real estate flip that
yielded Trump $95 million after paying $41
million for the property just four years earlier.
“It is imperative that Congress follow the money
and conduct a thorough investigation into any
potential money laundering or other illicit
financial dealings between the president, his
associates, and Russia,” wrote Sen. Ron
Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who sits on the
Senate Intelligence Committee that is
investigating 2016 election meddling.
The transaction between Trump and Russian oligarch
Dmitry Rybolovlev is being reviewed by Special Counsel
Robert Mueller’s team, Wyden says in his letter, citing a
report by Bloomberg News.
In a 2016 interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos,
Trump maintained that the real estate deal was one of the
few deals he had ever done directly involving a Russian
buyer.
 Is The Steele Dossier Full Of
‘Russian Dirt’ – Or British?
James George JATRAS
09.02.2018
With text messages between US Justice Department (DOJ)
conspirators Peter Strzok and his adulterous main squeeze
Lisa Page now revealing that then-President Barack
Obama “wants to know everything we’re doing,” it now
appears that the 2016 plot to subvert the rule of law and
corrupt the US organs of state security for political
purposes reached the very pinnacle of power. To call the
United States today a “banana republic” increasingly may
be seen as a gratuitous insult to the friendly spider-infested
nations to our south.
Still, don’t expect to see Barry Hussein Saetoro doing the
perp walk anytime soon or even being deported back to
Kenya. Don’t expect to see orange prison suits on Strzok,
Page, former FBI Director James Comey, former Associate
Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, former Deputy FBI
Director Andrew McCabe, and others implicated in putting
a political thumb on the scales to, first, get Hillary
Clinton elected, and then, when that failed, to neuter
Donald Trump’s presidency with a phony Russiagate
probe. Officials’ getting “former-ed” is one thing, their
getting prosecuted quite another. (Just imagine if a GOP
administration had similarly skewed the supposedly non-
political law enforcement and intelligence services for
partisan reasons. We’d have Watergate on steroids. The
New York Times, Washington Post and CNN would be
calling for hanging, drawing, and quartering.)
Indeed, it’s not even clear the Russiagate investigation
itself will be impacted. After all, the narrative may have
flipped on one variable – from Trump campaign collusion
to Democratic and FBI collusion – but
the constant remains the same: Russia. Trump’s defenders
269
are as insistent as his detractors that the real culprit
is Russia! Russia! Russia!
Sean Hannity of Fox News has been particularly
hyperventilative that the entire Steele Dossier lying at the
black heart of the mess consists of “phony, fake-news
Russian propaganda” and “Russian intelligence lies” from
British MI6 (supposedly “former”) spymaster
Christopher Steele’s “Russian sources.” Even level-headed
observers like Paul Sperry and Patrick Buchanan
characterize the file as a “Kremlin-aided smear job” and
“Russian dirt [that] Steele was spoon-fed by old comrades
in the Kremlin’s security apparatus.”
Christopher Steele is not Russian
But what do we really know about Steele’s claimed
sources? Not much.
Sure, maybe Vladimir Putin personally whispered every
word of the dossier into Steele’s ear. Or maybe Steele
invented his supposed sources from whole cloth: your
clients are paying for sleaze, you give them sleaze. Or
anything in between: maybe Steele consulted some
imaginative Russian cranks with only a marginal, and most
likely adversarial, relationship to the Russian authorities,
whose “inside knowledge” Steele padded to justify his fee.
(Steele claims he didn’t pay his “sources” – assuming they
exist at all – but that’s no more worthy of credit than
anything else he says.)
As analyzed by Russia expert Stephen F. Cohen:
‘Where, then, … did Steele get his information?
According to Steele and his many stenographers –
which include his American employers, Democratic
Party Russiagaters, the mainstream media, and even
progressive publications – it came from his “deep
connections in Russia,” specifically from retired and
current Russian intelligence officials in or near the
Kremlin. From the moment the dossier began to be
leaked to the American media, this seemed highly
implausible (as reporters who took his bait should have
known) for several reasons:
  ‘Steele has not returned to Russia after
leaving his post there in the early 1990s.
Since then, the main Russian intelligence
agency, the FSB, has undergone many
personnel and other changes, especially after
2000, and especially in or near Putin’s
Kremlin. Did Steele really have such
“connections” so many years later? [JGJ: Is it
credible that the head of MI6’s Russian
branch is on a first-name basis with top
Kremlin insiders? Turn the identities around
and ask whether the chiefs of the US section
of Russian or Chinese intelligence are on
intimate speaking terms with the US
president’s top advisers or with the
leadership of the CIA or FBI. Hardly.]
 ‘Even if he did, would these purported
Russian insiders really have collaborated
with this “former” British intelligence agent
under what is so widely said to be the ever-
vigilant eye of the ruthless “former KGB
agent” Vladimir Putin, thereby risking their
positions, income, perhaps freedom, as well
as the well-being of their families?
 ‘Originally it was said that his Russian
sources were highly paid by Steele.
Arguably, this might have warranted the risk.
But subsequently Steele’s employer and
head of Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, wrote
in The New York Times that “Steele’s
sources in Russia…were not paid.” If the
Putin Kremlin’s purpose was to put Trump in
the White House, why then would these
“Kremlin-connected” sources have
contributed to Steele’s anti-Trump project
without financial or political gain – only with
considerable risk?
 ‘There is the also the telling matter of factual
mistakes in the dossier that Kremlin “insiders”
were unlikely to have made, but this is the
subject for a separate analysis.
‘And indeed we now know that Steele had at least
three other “sources” for the dossier, ones not
previously mentioned by him or his employer. There
was the information from foreign intelligence agencies
provided by Brennan to Steele or to the FBI, which we
also now know was collaborating with Steele. There
was … a “second Trump-Russia dossier” prepared by
people personally close to Hillary Clinton and who
shared their “findings” with Steele. And most
intriguingly, there was the “research” provided by Nellie
Ohr, wife of a top Department of Justice official, Bruce
Ohr, who, according to the Republican memo, “was
employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of
opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the
FBI with all of his wife’s opposition research.” Most
likely, it found its way into Steele’s dossier. (Mrs. Ohr
was a trained Russian Studies scholar with a PhD from
270
Stanford and a onetime assistant professor at Vassar,
and thus, it must have seemed, an ideal collaborator
for Steele.)’
The reference to “people personally close to Hillary
Clinton and who shared their ‘findings’ with Steele”
dovetails with another intriguing suggestion from former
Clinton insider Dick Morris, who knows the modus
operandi of the Clinton lie generator better than anyone
else. On the Fox News “Ingraham Angle” show, Morris
suggested to host Laura Ingraham that the bulk of the
dossier was invented by veteran political dirty tricksters
and Clinton-machine hatchet men Sid Blumenthal and
Cody Shearer, who then engaged “former” spook Steele,
because of the Brit’s known relationship with the FBI, as
their conduit to give their garbage credibility. (Never
underestimate the residual “colonial” mentality of Yanks
to find any sort of gibberish convincing if delivered with a
British accent, as confirmed by the ubiquity of posh Brit
voices in American advertising.)
Andrew Wood is not Russian
But Steele isn’t the only limey link to #Dossiergate. In late
2016, after Trump’s election victory, Andrew Wood, a
former British ambassador to Russia, told US Senator John
McCain about the existence of compromising material on
Donald Trump, according to Wood’s account
to BBC4. Wood then set up a meeting between Steele and
David Kramer, an associate of McCain’s. It’s unclear
whether McCain already knew about the dossier at that
point or whether Wood alerted the Senator to its existence.
For what it is worth – not much –
Wood states that McCain had obtained the documents
from the Senator’s own sources.
“I told him I was aware of what was in the
report but I had not read it myself, that it
might be true, it might be untrue. I had no
means of judging really,”
and that he served only to inform McCain about the
dossier contents:
“My mission was essentially to be a go-
between and a messenger, to tell the
Senator and assistants that such a
dossier existed,” Wood told Fox News.
Wood elsewhere relates that McCain was “visibly
shocked” at his description and expressed interest in
reading the full report. That doesn’t sound as though
McCain had already obtained the dossier from his “own
sources” but, rather, that Wood was the instigator.
So which is it? Did McCain already know about the
dossier, and if so how did it “happen” to get raised with a
British diplomat? Conversely, was the initiative from
Woods to induce the Senator – known to be a strong
Trump critic as well as for his hostility to Russia – to pass
the dossier on in Washington? Keep in mind that the
dossier had already been used to secure a Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to monitor
Carter Page, a peripheral asteroid in the Trump orbit, and
that Trump had already been elected. By this time the
conspiracy’s purpose had shifted from preventing Trump’s
victory to tying down his incoming administration,
especially with respect to blocking any opening to
Moscow as Trump said he intended to do. What better way
to set the cat among the pigeons than for a supposedly
totally non-political British diplomat (certainly no
intelligence officer, he!) to quietly peddle the material
from Steele (whom Wood called a “very competent
professional operator … I do not think he would make
things up.”) to the right man in Washington?
GCHQ is not Russian
Finally, while it’s clear the dossier served to get a FISA
warrant for American services to spy on the Trump
campaign and later the transition team, US agencies’ might
not have been the only eyes and ears monitoring them.
Amid all the hubbub over Michael Wolff’s slash-and-
burn Fire and Fury, little mention (other than a heated
denial on the floor of the House of Commons, from
the notoriously truth-challenged former prime minister
Tony Blair, and from the relevant British agency itself!)
has been made of the suggestion that the
UK’s Government Communications Headquarters
(GCHQ) – Britain’s version of the NSA – was spying on
Trump and providing their sister agencies in the US with
additional data. Keep in mind the carefully worded
deflection last year from James Clapper, former Director
of National Intelligence (DNI), that “there was no wiretap
.
271
against Trump Tower during the campaign conducted by
any part of the national intelligence community...
including the FBI,” thus begging the question of whether
Trump was spied on not by a US “national” agency but by
one of the Anglosphere “Five Eyes” agencies – most likely
GCHQ – which then passed the information back to their
American colleagues. With Steele’s and Wood’s
involvement, and given the virtual control of America’s
manifestly corrupted agencies of their counterparts in
satellite countries like the United Kingdom, involvement
by GCHQ and perhaps other “friendly” foreign agencies
cannot be dismissed out of hand.
Madame Prime Minister is not Russian
To be sure, in 2016 the majority opinion in Russia was that
Donald Trump’s election would be preferable to Hillary
Clinton’s for the simple reason that the former openly
advocated better relations with Moscow while the latter
was a notorious warmonger. But there was also a strong
minority view, especially among more pro-Western
elements of the Russian establishment, that Hillary – “the
devil you know” – was preferable to rolling the dice on an
unpredictable and unknown quantity. Plus, Hillary was
delightfully corrupt, with the Clinton Foundation an open
invitation for many foreign powers to buy influence.
There was no ambiguity in the position of the British
government, however. In 2016 Prime Minister Theresa
May, like her German counterpart, made little effort to
hide her disdain for the “just plain wrong” Trump and
her preference for Hillary Clinton, whom she expected to
win (as did most other observers). Why should anyone be
surprised that her MI6 and GCHQ minions would share the
same views and perhaps acted on them to provide some
helping “hands across the water” to their US counterparts
whose anti-constitutional conspiracy now stands exposed?

 WOW! U.S. Spies Paid $100,000 To ‘Shadowy’ Russian
Promising Damning ‘Kompromat’ On Trump
By Joshua Caplan
February 9, 2018, 6:27 Pm
A new report by the New York Times reveals
U.S. spies paid $100,000 to a “shadowy,”
Russian promising dirt on President Trump,
along with stolen cyber tools from the CIA
and NSA.
After months of secret negotiations, a shadowy Russian
bilked American spies out of $100,000 last year, promising
to deliver stolen National Security Agency cyberweapons
in a deal that he insisted would also include compromising
material on President Trump, according to American and
European intelligence officials. The cash, delivered in a
suitcase to a Berlin hotel room in September, was intended
as the first installment of a $1 million payout, according to
American officials, the Russian and communications
reviewed by The New York Times. The theft of the secret
hacking tools had been devastating to the N.S.A., and the
agency was struggling to get a full inventory of what was
missing. […] He claimed the information would link the
president and his associates to Russia. But instead of
providing the hacking tools, the Russian produced
unverified and possibly fabricated information involving
Mr. Trump and others, including bank records, emails and
purported Russian intelligence data.
But his apparent eagerness to sell the Trump “kompromat”
— a Russian term for information used to gain leverage
over someone — to American spies raised suspicions
.
275
among officials that he was part of an operation to feed the
information into United States intelligence agencies and pit
them against Mr. Trump. Early in the negotiations, for
instance, he dropped his asking price from about $10
million to just over $1 million. Then, a few months later,
he showed the American businessman a 15-second clip of
a video showing a man in a room talking to two women.
No audio could be heard on the video, and there was no
way to verify if the man was Mr. Trump, as the Russian
claimed.
In April of last year, the “shadowy,” Russian met with
U.S. spies in Berlin, handing over a thumb drive he
claimed was filled with stolen cyber tools.
After analyzing the thumb drive, U.S. intelligence officers
concluded the tools they were given were already made
publicly available by a hacking group known as the
Shadow Brokers.
The CIA was after unpublished secrets, not tools that were
readily available with a click of a button.
After months of back and fourth since what the CIA
believed was a failed drop, U.S. spies met with the Russian
last month, demanding he deliver the stolen tools or the
deal was officially off.
The shadowy figure claimed senior Russian intelligence
officials demanded he hold out on delivering the goods.
U.S. intelligence agents weren’t impressed, instead, they
told him to “[s]tart working for them and provide the
names of everyone in his network — or go back to Russia
and do not return.”
The Russian simply replied, “Thank you,” and left the
meeting.
BREAKING: President Trump WILL NOT Release Adam
Schiff’s Seriously Flawed Democrat Spin Memo …
Update: FBI Refused Release
By Jim Hoft
February 9, 2018, 6:59 Pm

Jim Acosta weighed in.

President Trump will not approve the
release of the Democrat Adam Schiff’s
House spin memo.

The president will tell Congress they need to

make changes before it is released.

FOX News reported:

The White House on Friday told Democrats on

the House Intelligence Committee to redraft
their rebuttal to a controversial GOP memo
alleging government surveillance abuse during
the 2016 campaign, saying sensitive details
need to be stripped before it can be made
public.

The message was sent to the committee in a Friday letter

from White House Counsel Don McGahn.

Earlier this week, the House Intelligence Committee had

approved the release of the Democrats’ memo, giving
President Trump five days to consider whether he should
block publication for national security reasons.

The White House letter, for now, halts the release.

UPDATE: The FBI refused to release the

Schiff memo due to security concerns.

 ‘Cryin’ Chuck’ Schumer Is Blocking Vote For Trump
German Ambassador Pick Richard Grenell – So That CIA
In Berlin Can Blow Cash On Bogus Naked Trump Shots
By Jim Hoft
February 10, 2018, 8:12 Am
Two big stories in the news are inextricably
related and the connection is not being
reported. Senate leaders are delaying the
appointment of Richard Grenell for U.S.
Ambassador to Germany. Richard Grenell
will be the highest ranking openly gay
Republican appointment in US history.
Richard is being blocked from his post at
the same time that U.S. spies paid $100,000
to a ‘shadowy’ Russian promising dirt on
President Trump.
The reason the Democrats are delaying
Grenell’s appointment is because the CIA
team in Germany is trying to obtain
information on President Trump from Russia
and they would have to report to Grenell if
he were appointed which would end their
bogus scavenger hunt.
The CIA is openly trying to take their
Commander in Chief and Democrats know
this.
Yesterday TGP’s Joshua Caplan shared the report from
The New York Times related to Russia:
After months of secret negotiations, a shadowy Russian
bilked American spies out of $100,000 last year, promising
to deliver stolen National Security Agency cyberweapons

in a deal that he insisted would also include compromising

he showed the American businessman a 15-second clip of
a video showing a man in a room talking to two women.
No audio could be heard on the video, and there was no
way to verify if the man was Mr. Trump, as the Russian
claimed.
Also, yesterday Breitbart reported: Donald Trump Jr. and
Log Cabin Republicans Slam Democrats for Stalling
Richard Grenell Appointment:
The Log Cabin Republicans protested against the stalling
of openly gay diplomat Richard Grenell’s appointment as
U.S. ambassador to Germany, Thursday, followed by
Donald Trump Jr. adding his voice to the matter.
“It is simply unconscionable that
@RichardGrenell hasn’t been brought up for a
vote in the United States Senate to confirm him
as our country’s Ambassador to Germany,”
declared the Log Cabin Republicans in a post
on Twitter, before encouraging people to call
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-
 KY) and complain. “It’s time to #ConfirmGrenell
NOW!”
According to Breitbart,
Grenell will be the highest-ranking openly
gay government official in U.S. history,
reporting directly to the Secretary of State.
But for some reason Crying Chuck
Schumer, the Democrat leader in the Senate,
is doing all he can to prevent the Grenell
appointment from coming up for a vote in
the Senate.
Maybe Cryin Chuck knows that the CIA team
in Germany is corrupt and blowing tax
money for phony naked shots of President
Trump.
282
Conservative pundit Arthur Schwartz suggested on Friday
that the reason Grenell’s ambassadorship vote is being
delayed is because Grenell could stop the horribly
embarrassing and controversial Russia witch hunt by the
CIA in Germany, if he were in place.
The CIA station chief in Berlin reports to the
US Ambassador. But there is no
ambassador there now. So the station chief
currently gets to do what he wants, without
oversight from Grenell.
It’s time for the Senate to begin
investigations into the corrupt Democrat US
Senators that are doing all they can to
obtain bogus spam from Russia. They need
to do their job or go home. Or better yet –
Send them all to the gulags.

White House Spied On Trump Campaign, Want Special
Counsel: IBD/TIPP Poll

As the tidal wave of new information continues to come

out over the attempts by the Obama administration, the
Hillary Clinton campaign, the DNC, FBI and DOJ senior
level officials, and the MSM, to "rig" the 2016 presidential
election, albeit unsuccessfully, Democrats have been
downplaying the extent of the improper behavior of the
Obama administration and the weaponization and
politicization of the intelligence agencies beneath him.

The huge problem for the MSM is that they have

attempted to do the same, willingly complicit in not fully
informing the public, but rather pushing the Democratic
spin as they seem to have become nothing more than the
propaganda arm for the Democratic party.

Let me offer a recent example: After President Trump

informed the public back in March 2017 that the Obama
administration had "wire-tapped" Trump Tower, CNN and
all the other MSM outlets claimed he lied, saying it was a
"baseless claim," they mocked him for his claim, until
recently when all the FISA abuses and FBI/DOJ biases,
were revealed, showing that members of Trump's team
were surveilled, including Paul Manafort, who did indeed
have an office in the Trump Tower, and yes, it was
surveilled.

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin recently attempted to address the

new information, which contradicted CNN's own reporting
back in March through early September 2017, just to be
cut off as they did not want to "inform" their audience,
they wanted to focus on the anti-Trump news of the day
instead.
Via the Daily Caller:
“The Democrats have already made their
arguments about the whole subject,” he
continued. “So the memo itself, I mean
people will read it, those who are
interested. But I think this has been the
story of this past Trump year. Stories that
were, you know, explosive and big.
Remember he said, Obama wiretapped
me. Like, what? That was a huge story we
spent months on.”
CNN had criticized Trump for making such
claims, but it was later confirmed the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had
tapped Paul Manafort. That along with the
Nunes memo made the allegations more
plausible. Just as Toobin was about to
286
The reason the numbers highlighted above from the
IBD/TIPP poll are so damning and damaging to the MSM
is because it shows that Independents, who generally read
news from all over, and 31 percent of Democrats, who
generally focus more on liberal MSM "news," aren't
buying the justifications, excuses or the Democratic spin
on the news that the MSM keeps pushing at them.
The Republican numbers are no surprise, as it is
documented how the MSM has spent the last year acting as
the "opposing party" rather than objective journalists, with
90 percent of their reporting on President Trump being
hostile or negative, but the high number of Independents
that are following this story, and nearly a third of
Democrats, know every time the media pushes the
Democratic spin, they are either lying directly to them, or
are not being completely honest with their audience.
When over 30 percent of the MSM's core audience
(Democrats) who are paying attention to the
FBI/DOJ/Obama administration abuses, knows the MSM
is lying to them, or not fully informing them, and 44
percent of Democrats paying attention to this issue, are
supportive of a special counsel to investigate the
improprieties, despite the MSM bias against a special
counsel to investigate the FBI/DOJ actions, it shows a
huge, gigantic problem for the MSM going forward.
account, then decide for themselves whether or not they
agree with the writer's "spin," they wouldn't be the eight of
the top ten brands considered polarizing, and they wouldn't
be so distrusted that even 31 percent of their core audience
knows they are being misled.

The numbers provided in the IBD/TIPP poll shows clearly

that a nearly a third of the MSM's core base of Democrats,
along with a majority of Independents that are paying
attention to the issues of the day, not only disagree with
the MSM, but also no longer trust them to completely
inform them.

That is very, very bad news for the liberal mainstream

media.

Independent Media has been documenting the MSM

antics, from outright fake news, to pushing Democratic
spin, to their never-ending attacks against President
Trump, but even we underestimated the extent and the
scale of how many of their core audience they are
alienating by lying to them.

It is also noteworthy that Morning Consult recently

released their first edition of "Most Polarizing Brands in
America," and eight of the top ten were mainstream media
sources, including:

 CNN (#2),
 Fox News & NBC news (tied for #3),
 New York Times (#5),
 MSNBC (#6 tied with the NFL as polarizing),
 ABC News (#8),
 CBS News (#9), and
 Washington Post (#10).

BOTTOM LINE

All writers have their own set of beliefs, their own

ideology, and the subject matter they chose to report on
often reflects that, but the liberal mainstream media has
taken it to another level by becoming the propaganda arm
of the Democratic party, and their own audience is
recognizing this. If they would link to actual documents,
name their sources, allow readers or viewers to see
everything so they could take all the information into

Democrat Tim Canova: FBI Would Rather Chase ‘Russian
Phantoms’ Than Wasserman Schultz’
Stolen Congressional Election
By Cassandra Fairbanks
February 10, 2018, 2:20 Pm
The election supervisor in Broward County likely broke
the law when they destroyed paper ballots in the midst of a
lawsuit filed by Tim Canova, who challenged Rep. Debbie
Wasserman Schultz in 2016.
Though many experts agree that the ballot destruction was
a felony, Canova believes that the FBI is too busy chasing
“Russian phantoms” to investigate election meddling right
here at home.
Canova was seeking to have the optical-scan ballots
inspected following the primary race and filed a lawsuit
last June against Broward County Elections Supervisor
Brenda Snipes.
“We have a civil lawsuit against the Broward
Supervisor of Elections which we should win
and the court should award us attorneys fees.
At that point the governor should fire the
Supervisor and hopefully replace with someone
who has integrity and presumably not part of
the Wasserman Schultz machine,” Canova told
the Gateway Pundit.
According to federal law, the congressional race ballots
were not supposed to be destroyed for 22 months, and state
law declares that ballots which are evidence in a court case
should not be destroyed without a judge’s order, Politico
reported in December.
289
Snipes, a Democrat, had her office destroy the ballots in
September, months after the lawsuit was filed. The office
claimed that they did not commit a felony by destroying
the ballots because they kept digital scans. Canova, who is
a a Nova Southeastern University law professor, contends
that they still broke the law because electronic copies can
be tampered with. His belief has backed up by multiple
experts on election laws.
“You’re not supposed to destroy these ballots
within 22 months,” Canova’s lawyer attorney,
Leonard Collins told Politico last year. “They
did. You can’t destroy public records in an
ongoing court case. They did,” he said. “I’ve
never seen anything like this.”
Collins has filed a motion for sanctions due to the
“spoliation” of evidence.
The office of Governor Rick Scott has stated that the
destruction is “unacceptable.”
“The bottom line is it appears her office
destroyed ballots — which is unacceptable. We
will continue to push for answers,” McKinley
Lewis, deputy communications director for the
Republican governor, said in a statement to
Politico in January.
Canova is now attempting to have an investigation opened
which could potentially nullify the election that he believes
was stolen.
“We’re trying to get the FBI to investigate
but they seem uninterested at this point
even through the ballot destruction violated
federal law punishable by prison. I guess
they’d rather chase Russian phantoms,”
Canova told GWP. “Congress could
investigate and the House could possibly
nullify the stolen election, but I would not
hold my breath waiting for that to happen.”
Meanwhile, Canova is challenging Wasserman-Schultz
again, though he admits it is a difficult task to take on a
creature of the swamp with his grassroots campaign and During the primary, he had gained support from Senator

This is getting interesting.

The SAME DEEP STATE Team that spied on

Donald Trump’s Transition Team and
worked to exonerate Crooked Hillary Clinton
in the sham email investigation is now
working to impede, block, delay, lie, deflect
from any Congressional investigator sniffing
out their trail of crimes.

We actually called this in October–

“Is Real Purpose of Mueller Investigation for Mueller
to Destroy Evidence of Hillary-Obama Criminal
Activity?”

The Last Refuge at Conservative Treehouse put together

this string of very important findings regarding the
unlawful spying on the Trump Campaign, the Trump
Transition Team and the Trump administration by the deep
state apparatus.

296
 In October we at the TGP suspected that the Mueller team
was destroying evidence and the bogus crime on President
Trump that is not a crime in an investigation that is not
constitutional, was just a front for the ability to destroy
evidence.

It looks like we are getting closer and closer to the rotten

core of deep state and they are doing whatever they can to
deflect, lie, deceive and block the investigators.
Eventually the truth will come out.

 PBS Analyst Compares Trump
White House To Communist East Berlin
By Tim Graham
February 11, 2018 7:24 AM EST
On Friday's weekly roundup on the PBS
Newshour, after analyst David Brooks said the Trump
White House has a "perpetual unraveling" of staff, liberal
analyst Mark Shields compared it to people trying to
escape the Berlin Wall, where escapees were often killed
by communist guards. "This White House is resembling
nothing as much as East Berlin, in that there's more people
trying to get out than there are trying to get in."
The subject was the resignation of White House staff
secretary after two ex-wives accused him of domestic
abuse. Brooks took a shot at chief of staff John Kelly: "We
have learned a couple things about Kelly.He had the earlier
comment that some of the DACA people ["Dreamers"]
were lazy. And then he — but the guy who allegedly beats
his wife is honorable. I mean, that’s a contrast." He added
"there’s just always this thing of perpetual unraveling and
the cycling through of staff at this White House."
It continued:
JUDY WOODRUFF: Do we hold — do we
hold the president — yes, we hold the
president accountable, Mark, but should —
would it make a difference, let me ask it
this way, if the president were to put
different people in some of these positions?
MARK SHIELDS: Judy, increasingly, from
my reporting and everything I learn, this
White House is resembling nothing as
much as East Berlin, in that there’s
more people trying to get out than there
are trying to get in.
300
And it’s not — they have not been able to,
either based on their false sense of loyalty
that one had to have been a total Trumpite
from the begin, whatever, they have not
been able to attract and hold a talented
administrative staff. The one saving
argument for John Kelly is that Rob Porter
was the exception. He was able. He was
the de facto deputy chief of staff that Kelly
did not have. I think it’s fair to say that
Kelly’s judgment has been seriously called
into question here.
DAVID BROOKS: It’s about just being a
gentleman. The MeToo movement,
everything we have seen over the last six
months, it’s, are men — do they know what
it’s like to be a gentleman and just behave
decently like a gentleman?
If you look through the history of our political leaders,
Teddy Roosevelt, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, they were
gentlemen. It’s not hard. And yet those once — you lose
the social standards of how a man is supposed to behave,
you have got a lot of bad stuff that comes out.
Do these people really think everyone forgets that Bill
Clinton was accused of pants-dropping sexual harassment
and even rape? Few might remember the PBS NewsHour

We Were Right=> Rep. Devin Nunes: Carter Page Worked

On Sunday Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) confirmed that
Carter Page worked as an FBI informant in 2013.
As TGP reported earlier….
There has been much written about Carter
Page, the so-called Russian expert and
volunteer on the Trump campaign.
Carter Page sat on a campaign committee that met only
once during the campaign.
And yet the FBI relied on Page to continue
to spy on Donald Trump, his campaign
members, his family and then his Transition
Team and administration.
The FBI sought FISA warrants FOUR TIMES to spy on
Carter Page.
The warrants on Page then gave the Deep State access to
spy on all of the Trump campaign officials.
According to reports from 2016 Carter Page
was previously working as an undercover
informant for the FBI.
Via Conservative Treehouse broke this story a couple days
ago:
In 2013 Carter Page was working as an under-

 DIRTY DEEP STATE: Mueller And Rosenstein Tried To
Get Manafort’s Case Thrown Out – They Know It Will
End Corrupt Special Counsel
By Jim Hoft
February 11, 2018, 9:32 Am
President Trump’s former Campaign
Manager Paul Manafort’s filing of a suit
against the “Deep State” DOJ, Rosenstein
and Mueller is now being contested by
Mueller. No surprise since Manafort’s suit is
likely to shut down Mueller investigation!
This needs to be moved up for the good of
the country. Shut down the damn crooked
Mueller investigation now!
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort sued the
DOJ, Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein and is
demanding the Mueller investigation be shut down! Now
Mueller wants Manafort’s case thrown out!
We have reported for months on the many criminal and
corrupt actions taken by numerous parties related to the
Mueller investigation. Mueller never should have taken on
the job in the first place due to numerous conflicts. He is
best friends with fired leaker and former FBI Director
James Comey. He met with Comey shortly before Comey
testified with Congress and for this alone he should have
recused himself. The team Mueller built to attack President
Trump and have him removed is all Deep State attorneys
and crooks. Mueller’s record in the past is scattered with
actions that let the Clintons off Scott free on numerous
occasions when they should have been put in jail.
We now know that the FBI had an
investigation into the Clintons and moneys
they received from Russia in return for
giving Russia 20% of all US uranium.
304
Prior to the Obama administration approving the very
controversial Uranium One deal in 2010 giving Russia
20% of America’s Uranium, the FBI had evidence that
Russian nuclear industry officials were involved in
bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering in
order to benefit Vladimir Putin.
The FBI approved the deal anyway. We also
know that Rosenstein and Mueller were the
ones who allowed the Uranium One deal to
go forward. This was the real Russia
collusion story involving the US
government.
We know that Mueller’s team illegally obtained emails
related to the Trump transition team and these emails were
protected under attorney-client privilege. Mueller and his
entire team should have resigned after this.
But perhaps one of the most damning
aspects of the Mueller investigation is that it
was not legal. The corrupt Mueller
investigation is tasked with finding a crime
that does not exist in the law. It is a legal
impossibility. Mueller is being asked to do
something that is manifestly unattainable.
FOX News Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett stated in an article
a couple of months ago the fact that the entire Mueller
investigation is lawless. Jarrett argued that –
Shortly after the indictments[against Papadopoulos and
Manafort] were unsealed, the media’s spirits were
suddenly boosted when the special counsel revealed that a
former adviser to Trump pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI
about his contacts with a Russian national during his time
on the Trump campaign. Surely this was evidence of
illegal “collusion,” right?
Wrong. George Papadopoulos pled guilty to a single
charge of making a false statement to the FBI. He was not
charged with so-called “collusion” because no such crime
exists in American statutory law, except in anti-trust
matters. It has no application to elections and political
campaigns.
It is not a crime to talk to a Russian. Not that the media
would ever understand that. They have never managed to
point to a single statute that makes “colluding” with a
foreign government in a political campaign a crime, likely
because it does not exist in the criminal codes.
Jarrett then turned his attention to Corrupt Hillary –
It is against the law for the Clinton campaign
and the Democratic National Committee to
funnel millions of dollars to a British spy
and to Russian sources in order to obtain
the infamous and discredited Trump
“dossier.”
The Federal Election Campaign Act (52 USC 30101)
prohibits foreign nationals and governments from giving or
receiving money in U.S. campaigns. It also prohibits the
filing of false or misleading campaign reports to hide the
true purpose of the money (52 USC 30121). This is what
Clinton and the DNC appear to have done.
Most often the penalty for violating this law is a fine, but
in egregious cases, like this one, criminal prosecutions
have been sought and convictions obtained. In this sense, it
could be said that Hillary Clinton is the one who was
conspiring with the Russians by breaking campaign
finance laws with impunity.
But that’s not all.
Damning new evidence appears to show
that Clinton used her office as Secretary of
State to confer benefits to Russia in
exchange for millions of dollars in donations
to her foundation and cash to her husband.
Secret recordings, intercepted emails, financial records,
and eyewitness accounts allegedly show that Russian
nuclear officials enriched the Clintons at the very time
Hillary presided over a governing body which
unanimously approved the sale of one-fifth of America’s
uranium supply to Russia.
If this proves to be a corrupt “pay-to-play” scheme, it
would constitute a myriad of crimes, including bribery (18
USC 201-b), mail fraud (18 USC 1341), and wire fraud
(18 USC 1343). It might also qualify for racketeering
charges (18 USC 1961-1968), if her foundation is
determined to have been used as a criminal enterprise.
The US statutory law is clear and Jarrett points it out. He
concluded with the following –
Until now, no one had legal “standing” to argue in court
that the appointment of Mueller was illegal. The criminal
charges [against Manafort and Papadopoulos] change all
305
that. The two defendants will be able to argue before a
judge that Mueller’s appointment by Acting Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein violated the special counsel law.
As I pointed out in a column last May, the law (28 CFR
600) grants legal authority to appoint a special counsel to
investigate crimes. Only crimes. He has limited
jurisdiction. Yet, in his order appointing Mueller as special
counsel (Order No. 3915-2017), Rosenstein directed him
to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the
Russian government and individuals associated with the
campaign of President Donald Trump.” It fails to identify
any specific crimes, likely because none are applicable.
To put it plainly, Mueller is tasked with
finding a crime that does not exist in the
law. It is a legal impossibility. He is being
asked to do something that is manifestly
unattainable. Manafort sued the DOJ,
Mueller and Rosenstein because what they
are doing is not supported by US Law. This
is the biggest story of the day! Manafort is
suing to have the Mueller investigation shut
down!
Manafort’s case argues in paragraph 33 that the special
counsel put in place by crooked Rosenstein gave crooked
and criminal Mueller powers that are not permitted by law
–
1. But paragraph (b)(ii) of the Appointment Order purports
to grant Mr. Mueller further authority to investigate and
prosecute “any matters that arose or may arise
directly from the investigation.” That grant of authority
is not authorized by DOJ’s special counsel regulations.
It is not a “specific factual statement of the matter to be
investigated.” Nor is it an ancillary power to address
efforts to impede or obstruct investigation under 28
C.F.R. § 600.4(a).
On February 3rd, 2018, Mueller quietly petitioned the court
to throw out Manafort’s case. Corrupt Rod Rosenstein
(noted recently as one individual who signed off on the
FISA memos to spy on President Trump) came to corrupt
bad cop Mueller’s aid –
In his civil lawsuit, Manafort’s lawyers claim that Mueller
overstepped his mandate to pursue “any matters that arose
or may arise directly from the investigation” into Russian
meddling in the 2016 election. Manafort claimed that
Mueller’s team improperly interpreted their authority as
giving them “carte blanche” to pursue crimes beyond
Russian collusion.
But in the filing on Friday, prosecutors cited the Dec. 13
congressional testimony of Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller’s work because
Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself.

If Manafort wins this case – which it appears

Rep. Devin Nunes joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday
Morning Futures to discuss the latest developments in the
largest political scandal in US history – The Obama Deep
State war against Donald Trump.
Rep. Nunes says there are multiple crimes uncovered so
far and yet the Deep State refuses to prosecute DOJ and
FBI crooks.
when you have the House who said this guy
lied to the FBI, and you have the senate who
said this guy lied to the FBI, Christopher
Steele, what is the Justice Department
doing?
Where is the prosecution of Christopher Steele. This is a
slam dunk case that they have all the documents. And this
is what makes people really wonder and have confidence
that the DOJ and FBI are playing this straight up.

Nunes is right.

Where the hell is Jeff Sessions?

Via Sunday Morning Futures:

Rep. Devin Nunes:

The good thing about the Grassley-Graham

memo, not only was it a criminal referral to
Justice, it was written before our memo was put
together. So essentially what it does is it
corroborates what we said. And it goes further
than that and it really points out how
Christopher Steele lied to the FBI. So it is a
clear cut case. Christopher Steele lied to the
FBI. And I can’t for the life of me know that

 House Freedom Caucus Chair Meadows BLASTS Adam
Schiff, Dems Over Their Bogus Counter-Memo
Posted On February 11, 2018

(National Sentinel) Late last week House Intelligence
Committee Ranking Member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., sent a
memo to the White House for declassification and release
approval that allegedly refuted much of what was
contained in the GOP-drafted “FISA Memo” released the
week prior.
Schiff told various media outlets all week that his memo
was important because its release would set the record
straight and correct a number of factual errors he claimed
were misrepresented in the original memo or were omitted
altogether.
But when Schiff sent his counter-memo to President
Donald J. Trump last week it was rejected because the
White House said it contained classified information
regarding individuals and methods that would be
compromised upon release.
disturbing information we already know,” he
tweeted.
Last week, investigative journalist and Fox News
correspondent Sara A. Carter reported that Schiff
purposely added sources and intelligence collection
methods to his memo so that it would be rejected and give
him talking points with the media and supporters regarding
the president’s supposed partisanship.
“Just look at what’s been happening from
the beginning- my sources say yes. But
really it’s up to @RepAdamSchiff to
answer that question,” she tweeted.

Schiff and Democrats this weekend took to various media

to criticize Trump’s decision and attempt to portray it as
partisan and hypocritical since Trump permitted the release
of the FISA Memo.

 Rep. Devin Nunes: Carter Page Worked For FBI As
Informant – Cooperated With FBI In 2013 (VIDEO)
By Admin
February 11, 2018
On Sunday Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) confirmed that
Carter Page worked as an FBI informant in 2013.
As TGP reported earlier….
There has been much written about
Carter Page, the so-called Russian
expert and volunteer on the Trump
campaign.
Carter Page sat on a campaign committee that met only
once during the campaign.
And yet the FBI relied on Page to
continue to spy on Donald Trump, his
campaign members, his family and then
his Transition Team and administration.
The FBI sought FISA warrants FOUR TIMES to spy on
Carter Page.
The warrants on Page then gave the Deep State access to
spy on all of the Trump campaign officials.
According to reports from 2016 Carter
Page was previously working as an
undercover informant for the FBI.
Via Conservative Treehouse broke this story a couple days
ago:
In 2013 Carter Page was working as an under-cover
employee (UCE) of the FBI, helping them to build a case
against “Evgeny Buryakov”. In March 2016 Carter Page

Beautiful Melania Trump stunned a Florida

Now this…
Melania Trump had the White House
scrubbed of demons before she would move
her family into the Washington DC residence
in 2017.
CNS News reported:
While commenting on President Donald
Trump’s very public support for Christianity, as
well as the frequent Bible studies and prayer
gatherings held at the White House, evangelical
Pastor Paul Begley said first lady Melania
Trump demanded that the White House be
spiritually cleansed and that pagan, demonic
items and artificats from the Obama and Clinton
years be removed.
Melania Trump reportedly said,
“I’m not going to go into that White House
unless it has been completely exorcised,”
according to Pastor Begley. One thing was left,
a cross on the wall. “They cleansed the White
House,” he said. “They had people in there
anointing it with oil and praying everywhere.”
This will make Democrats furious – and you
must ask yourself, “Why?”
 Dem Rep Nadler: Trump Impeachment
Would Have To Be Bipartisan
By Jeff Poor
11 Feb 2018
Sunday on MSNBC’s “KasieDC,” host Kasie Hunt asked
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) about the possibility of
impeaching President Donald Trump and if there were any
preparations underway for such an event.
Nadler dismissed that as a possibility and argued for
impeachment proceedings to get underway, there would
have to be bipartisan support.
“It’s way too early for that,” Nadler said.
“We would have to see what the Mueller
[investigation] comes up with and whether
there’s good evidence from Mueller or from
other sources of impeachable offenses
before you would begin to consider that.
There’s one other thing which I should
.
319
make really clear — if you’re serious about
impeaching a president, it cannot and
should not be done on a partisan basis.
You would have to have, at least by the
end of the process, buy-in from the
Republicans, or at least a good number of
the Republicans, for two reasons: number
one for the arithmetic, you can impeach a
president on a majority vote, which means
you need votes from the Republicans.”
“But secondly, more importantly, if you’re
really serious about removing a president
from office for high crimes and
misdemeanors, you shouldn’t do that
unless you get at least an appreciable
fraction of the people who voted for him on
the other side to agree, reluctantly perhaps,
but to agree, ‘Yeah, you had to do it.’
Otherwise, you have 20 years of
recriminations. ‘We won the election. You
stole it from us.’ You don’t want to divide
the country that way. If evidence arises that
is of sufficient gravity to justify impeaching
the president, and of
sufficient persuasiveness to persuade
people, at least by the end of the process,
some of the people who voted on the other
side, then you consider an impeachment,
but not before.”

 Trump Maintains Confidence In

Administration Officials Used The Sunday Talk Shows To Reaffirm
President's Trust In Top Aide And Slam Reports Of Imminent Firing

said. "John Kelly knows that he serves at

the pleasure of the president and he will
step aside as soon as — any time the
president doesn't want him to be there. But
John Kelly has not offered his resignation."

Similarly, Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

Director Mick Mulvaney said on "Fox News Sunday" that
chatter about Kelly's departure from the White House "is
President Donald Trump has confidence in John Kelly and
much ado about nothing" because the president
is not contemplating firing his chief of staff in the wake of
"absolutely" isn't considering ousting Kelly.
the Robert Porter abuse allegations controversy, multiple
White House officials said on Sunday morning.

Porter resigned as White House staff secretary Wednesday

after allegations of domestic abuse surfaced from his two
former wives. The president and Kelly were criticized for
poorly handling the initial response to the allegations and
to Porter’s departure. Reports circulated of Kelly’s job
being in jeopardy after it became known he was aware of
the accusations against Porter months ago.

“I have spoken to the president last night

about this very issue, and he wanted me to
re-emphasize to everyone, including this
morning, that he has full confidence in
current Chief of Staff General John Kelly,
and that he’s not actively searching for
replacements,” White House counselor
Kellyanne Conway said Sunday on ABC
News’ “This Week.”
Conway panned the “unsourced stories out there” that cast
doubt on Trump’s confidence in Kelly and predicted an
imminent chief of staff shakeup.
White House legislative director Marc Short also came to
Kelly's defense, saying Sunday on NBC's "Meet the
Press" that Trump "has absolute confidence" in Kelly and
that the president's chief of staff is doing "an outstanding
job."
"General Kelly, in my mind, is an American
hero. There's few families in America that
have sacrificed more for our country," Short
"And I think all the stories about replacing
General Kelly are mostly being fed by
people who are unhappy that they've lost
access to the president under General
Kelly's leadership as chief of staff,"
Mulvaney said.
"I'm extraordinarily pleased with the job the
chief has been doing. Everybody in the
West Wing is. The president is, as well. I
think the talk about the chief's departure is
much ado about nothing," the OMB director
added.
Mulvaney said he hasn't talked with Kelly about "his
status" or "his standing" in the White House "because I
don't think it's an issue."
"There's a lot of good things that have been
happening since the chief is there. I think
the president sees that. The results speak
for themselves," Mulvaney added.

Even Jeh Johnson, who served as Homeland Security
secretary under former President Barack Obama, doubted
Kelly's impending removal.
"As long as Donald Trump is president, our
government is best served if John Kelly is

in the job of chief of staff," Johnson said
Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
"That might be a minority view among my
Democratic friends, but that is my view,"
Johnson added. "I encourage John to
hunker down and do his job."
Ex-Obama State Dept. Spokesperson Once Claimed Steele
Dossier Was NOT Used To Obtain FISA Warrant (VIDEO)
By Joshua Caplan
February 11, 2018, 8:02 Pm
In statements that aged badly, this is up
their with some of the greats. Former Obama
State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf
claimed on Fox News in July 2017 that the
Steele Dossier was not used to obtain a
FISA warrant.
Transcript via Breitbart News:
HARF, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, I’m
very impressed with Mollie’s ability to spin a
conspiracy theory out of this. There is no
evidence to support what she’s putting forward.
Look, I think it’s interesting. It was certainly
salacious when it came out. But I would
disagree with something she just said, this
dossier, while it may have got a lot of attention,
isn’t actually what the Russian investigations
are about right now. They’re about all these
meetings that Trump officials had with the
Russians that they were not honest about.
They’re about possible ties. And nothing may
come from those investigations. But let’s be
very clear, they’re not based on that dossier. I
have no idea who paid for it. I have no idea
where any of this came from. But I suspect
there’s some attempt in Congress right now on
323
the Republican side to use this dossier and
some of these conspiracy theories.
HEMINGWAY: In fact, this dossier was used by
the FBI to secure a FISA warrant against an
American citizen. It was also used by Obama
officials and intelligence agencies to really get
this whole Russian conspiracy going.
HARF: That’s not true, Mollie. I was in the
administration. That’s absolutely not true. We
thought this was a funny, salacious thing. The
Russian investigations started because a bunch
of other issues not related.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the dossier
was used to apply for a spy warrant on Trump campaign
advisor Carter Page:
 The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the intial
and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter
Page.
 Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would
have been sought from the FISA Court without the
Steele dossier information.
 The political origins of the Steele dossier were known
to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the
FISA applications.
In a stunning admission to CNN‘s Jake Tapper last
Wednesday, former Director of National Intelligence
James Clapper admitted the Steele dossier was used for an
extension of FISA surveillance.
“As I understand it, this was simply an
extension of the original FISA request. Meaning
that, or implying, that apparently, there was
information that was considered valuable that
was being obtained, via the initial FISA
request,” Clapper told Tapper.
 Forbes FBI/DOJ Corruption Article
Mysteriously Vanishes - Did The Deep State Disappear
Definitive Timeline Off Established MSM Website
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline
February 11, 2018
One of the most definitive Annotated timelines, of "Biased
FBI and DOJ Officials Broke The Law And Tried To
Decide The Election," published at Forbes on February 5,
2018, by Thomas Del Beccaro, who is an op-ed contributor
at Forbes, has mysteriously disappeared off of Forbes
website two days after it was published. No editors note
has been offered explaining why the article vanished off
the website, the URL simply brings up a 404 error.
Previously deleted articles from Forbes have offered
notification at the URL as to why an article was removed,
as shown by a note from a piece deleted back in 2015:
The original article still shows up in Google search results,
at least for the time being, as shown in the screen shot
below, but clicking those Forbes' links brings us to the
same 404 error page:
324
Cached and archived version are available, because the
nothing can truly be disappeared off the internet once it
goes viral, and this story did, with over 150,000 views on
Forbes before they mysteriously deleted it, and more on
Mr. Del Beccaro's own website, Political Vanguard, where
the article continues to be updated as new relevant
information becomes public.
Mr. Del Beccaro shared his Forbes link via Twitter on
February 5, 2018, and by February 7th, he was responding
to a multitude of users that were saying the article
vanished, by linking to his own website, stating
"Thanks so much!! Here is the new home
for the piece
http://www.PoliticalVanguard.com .
http://politicalvanguard.com/biased-fbi-and-
doj-officials-broke-the-law-and-tried-to-
decide-the-election-an-annotated-timeline/
….
PLS Share."
The article is so detailed and sourced with hyperlinks to
his assertions, showing the deep rot within the FBI and
DOJ that attempted to subvert the will of the American
people using their positions of power to clear Hillary
Clinton of criminal charges in her private email server and
sharing classified information on the unsecured server,
while framing Donald Trump for the "Russian collusion"
narrative, that high profile members of the media, such
as chief political columnist of Politico Roger Simon, called
it an "ABSOLUTE MUST READ> Best overall analysis
of FBI/DOJ scandal so far with timeline," and Glenn
Reynolds from InstaPundit highlighted it, with other
Twitter users referring to the piece by saying "great to see
journalism is not completely dead," and many, many more
complimentary comments about it.
It truly is a must-read for all the information, laid out via a
timeline, showing the insidious corruption within the
Obama administration, the Clinton campaign and senior
members of the FBI/DOJ, so it is highly recommended to
read the entire piece, but the question here, is why did
Forbes delete a piece that was garnering so much public
attention, that was well sourced, providing their audience
with a facts the liberal mainstream media will not report
on?
Forbes offers the standard disclaimer on the original, now
deleted article, as can be seen on the archived and cached
version taken from the Forbes site, which states "Opinions
expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own," so from a
business standpoint, deleting the article without
explanation, makes no business sense, as it was bringing in
ad revenue. It is sourced with both liberal media links like
The Politico, CNN, CBS News, New York Times, and
NPR, and with conservative media links like Fox News,
National Review and Washington Examiner, along with
source links to Real Clear Politics and The Hill, which
offer more balance.
The conclusions offered after the outstanding timeline are
the writer's opinion of the events he documented, but the
very definition of an op-ed is "opinion editorial," so the
Forbes disclaimer reflects those opinions are those of the
writer, so we have to wonder who forced Forbes to remove
the article, one that was highly praised by a number of
people, readers and professional writers and commentators
alike?
Previous examples of Forbes deleting articles show
conclusively that Forbes does allow the publication to be
intimidated by other entities, such as Google, as shown in
a September 2017 article at Boing Boing, titled "Forbes
removed article critical of Google after it asked nastily."
After the meeting, I approached Google’s
public relations team ...The press office
confirmed it, though they preferred to say
the Plus button “influences the ranking.”
They didn’t deny what their sales people
told me: If you don’t feature the +1 button,
325
your stories will be harder to find with
Google. ...
Google never challenged the accuracy of
the reporting. Instead, a Google
spokesperson told me that I needed to
unpublish the story because the meeting
had been confidential, and the information
discussed there had been subject to a non-
disclosure agreement between Google and
Forbes. (I had signed no such agreement,
hadn’t been told the meeting was
confidential, and had identified myself as a
journalist.)
It escalated quickly from there. I was told
by my higher-ups at Forbes that Google
representatives called them saying that the
article was problematic and had to come
down. The implication was that it might
have consequences for Forbes, a troubling
possibility given how much traffic came
through Google searches and Google
News.
Forbes' Terms of Service do state that "Forbes reserves the
right to delete, move or edit any submission at any time,
for any reason or in its discretion, but has no obligation to
review or remove any such content," but that does not
explain why this specific piece was removed, which was
generating a much-needed conversation via social media
and other platforms, about the abuses conducted by corrupt
individuals within the Obama administration and high
level officials within the FBI and DOJ, which is all public
knowledge now as multiple investigations are uncovering
more and more every day.
Del Beccaro's bottom line conclusions after detailing the
timeline of events that occurred from 2015 up until after
the 2016 presidential election, clearly shows why certain
entities did not want this article to remain up, as he
explains what the timeline of events indicates to him about
how the Hillary Clinton investigation was rigged, how
senior members of the FBI created the "insurance policy"
to damage an incoming president with the "Russian
collusion" storyline, and how those and other top level
intelligence community officials used unverified
information to obtain FISA warrants, where Del Beccaro
ends his conclusions with the following statements:
Watergate did not involve the DOJ and the
FBI – two institutions which must be non-
partisans for this Republic of ours.
This case does involve the FBI and DOJ. It
also is foolish not to assume that Loretta
Lynch and President Obama were ignorant
of the goings on – if not involved in them.
 Finally, the dishonest investigation of
Hillary who committed actual crimes should
not be acceptable. Nor should FBI or DOJ
officials be allowed to alter events and
Court proceedings for political purposes.
If we let this go, and people are not
brought to justice, we will have forever
damaged our Republic and the World’s
view of us as a nation of laws.
That ladies and gentlemen is the problem, the deep state
can't have an established member of the liberal media,
demanding justice for the corruption during the Obama
administration and the crooked members of the deep state
itself within the intelligence community, because then they
cannot label the Independent Media as "conspiracy
theorists" for highlighting and demanding the same thing.

YouTube that deleted the video to begin with.
Those are the games big tech play to force compliance

 Chairman Nunes To Investigate Ex-CIA Director John
Brennan For His Role In Promoting Hillary’s Phony
Dossier ‘Brennan May Have Perjured Himself’
By Cristina Laila
February 11, 2018, 9:08 Pm
Chairman of the House Intel Committee,
Devin Nunes plans to investigate former CIA
Director John Brennan and other Obama
officials for their role in promoting Hillary’s
phony dossier.
According to investigative reporter, Paul Sperry, Chairman
Nunes is also investigating whether Brennan perjured
himself in a public testimony about the dossier.
Paul Sperry reported via Real Clear Investigations:
In his May 2017 testimony before the
intelligence panel, Brennan emphatically denied
the dossier factored into the intelligence
community’s publicly released conclusion last
year that Russia meddled in the 2016 election
“to help Trump’s chances of victory.”
Brennan also swore that he did not know who
commissioned the anti-Trump research
document (excerpt here), even though senior
national security and counterintelligence
officials at the Justice Department and FBI
knew the previous year that the dossier was
funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
329
Chairman Nunes released the first of several memos last
week detailing the FISA abuses carried out by Obama’s
FBI and DOJ.
Hillary’s phony Russia dossier compiled by former British
spy Christopher Steele was used to obtain a FISA warrant
to spy on Trump’s camp.
Nunes then revealed the next phase of the House Intel
Committee’s investigation will focus on Obama’s State
Department and their role in disseminating the Steele
dossier.
Paul Sperry reported other Obama officials such as James
Clapper and former NatSec Advisor Susan Rice will be
investigated:
The aide, who spoke only on condition of
anonymity, said Nunes will focus on Brennan as
well as President Obama’s first CIA director,
Leon Panetta, along with the former president’s
intelligence czar, James Clapper, and national
security adviser, Susan Rice, and security
adviser-turned U.N. ambassador Samantha
Power, among other intelligence officials.
“John Brennan did more than anyone to
promulgate the dirty dossier,” the investigator
said. “He politicized and effectively weaponized
what was false intelligence against Trump.”
Attempts to reach Brennan for comment were
unsuccessful.
Several Capitol Hill sources say Brennan, a
fiercely loyal Obama appointee, talked up the
dossier to Democratic leaders, as well as the
press, during the campaign. They say he also
fed allegations about Trump-Russia contacts
directly to the FBI, while pressuring the bureau
to conduct an investigation of several Trump
campaign figures starting in the summer of
2016.
[…]
 After Trump won the election, sources say, the
CIA director sought to “weaponize” the dossier’s
wild accusations against the president-elect.
In early January, just weeks before Trump was
inaugurated, investigators say Brennan saw to it
that the contents from the dossier were
attached to an official daily intelligence briefing
for Obama. The special classified briefing was
then leaked to the major Washington media,
allowing them to use the presidential briefing to
justify the publication of claims they had up to
that point not been able to substantiate and had
been reluctant to run.
Christopher Steele and Hillary Clinton were desperate to
get the dossier published and blasted out to the public.
Outlets refused to publish the unverified document;
Buzzfeed finally published the full dossier on January 10th
2017. Several defamation and libel lawsuits have been
filed as a result of the dossier.
Sperry also reported that Brennan is aware Nunes is
targeting him for investigation.
John Brennan lashed out at Nunes and House Republicans
over the FISA memo last week.
Brennan tweeted,
“I had many fights with Congressional Dems
over the years on national security matters. But

 GOP Rep Nunes: Dems Preventing Release
Of Schiff Memo By Packing It Full Of Sources, Methods
By Jeff Poor
11 Feb 2018
On this weekend’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s
“Sunday Morning Futures,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA),
the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, offered
an explanation as to why the Trump administration was not
allowing the release of a memo authored by committee
ranking member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
Nunes told host Maria Bartiromo that the Democrat memo
contained sensitive information, and it was done so
intentionally.
Partial transcript as follows:
BARTIROMO: So let me — let me kick it off
with that and the fact that the White House
has denied the request to release Adam
Schiff’s memo. What can you tell us about
that memo? You’ve seen it. What do we
need to understand about this?
NUNES: Well first off, this was not a
surprise. So this was after they had
accused the Republicans of putting
sources and methods into our memo, we
actually did not, we just put in what the
thought the American people needed to
know. It was clear from the development of
the Democratic memo from the very
beginning that they packed it full of sources
and methods.
Now, for the viewers out there, what are
sources and methods? We don’t want to
give up the way that our intelligence
committee recruits sources, the methods
that they may use to recruit (ph) sources.
So these are things that don’t need to be
made public. However, the Democrats
knew this, they — they packed their memo
full of sources and methods. Now, on
Friday night, we received a letter back from
the White House.
The White House did not deny the — the
release of the Democrat memo — the
Democrats’ memo. What they did is they
said look, you need to make some
redactions and some technical corrections
here and we will get it out right away. Now,
331
from that point, we’ve heard nothing but
crickets. The Democrats have been on TV
all weekend long. Their memo is sitting at
the House Intelligence Committee down at
the bottom of the capital waiting to be
redacted.
If they really wanted to get it out, they’d be
down there all day yesterday redacting it,
getting it back over to the White House so
that the public can know what’s in it
BARTIROMO: So —
NUNES: So this is — this is nothing but
politics.
BARTIROMO: And within the Democratic
memo, there was no rejection of the point
of your memo, which was, bottom line, the
FBI used government resources to spy on
a political enemy.
NUNES: Well, right. We actually want the
Democratic memo out. We think it’s
ridiculous on the face of it. We think it’s
very political how about they attack myself,
they attack Chairman Gowdy, they turn
Carter Page into some super-secret
Russian spy, they talk about how
Christopher Steele is a really, really good
source when we know that he lied to the
FBI. So we want this out. We don’t know
why they’re not in this weekend redacting it
so that we can get it back to the White
House so the president can declassify it.
BARTIROMO: Right. And but they did not
deny the omission of information that has
taken place here. Basically, the FBI goes to
the FISA court and presents this so-called
dossier of unverified information about
Donald Trump during an election, and they
do not tell the FISA court that the dossier
was actually paid for by Hillary Clinton.
NUNES: Yes. And not only that — I mean
that’s the — the — the crux of our
argument, the (ph) why are we going
through all this. Well, phase one of our
investigation was to look at the FISA
abuse. So we very simply said look, the —
 the court didn’t know that the Democrats
paid for this. Now, remember, this is an —
an investigation into the other campaign. I
would think a judge would need to know
that.
They also omitted the fact — after they discovered that
Christopher Steele went and talked to multiple media
outlets and that they had used some of those media outlets,
some of the stories to corroborate the dossier, you would
.
332
think somehow, someone somewhere would say hey, we
better go tell the FISA court this. They — they didn’t do it
the first time, they didn’t do it the second time, they didn’t
do it the third time, in fact, they didn’t even do it the fourth
time.
So a full year they were spying on an American citizen
who was affiliated with the Trump campaign, and the court
didn’t know any of that for four times in a row.

 Grassley Hammers Adam Schiff For Claiming Steele
Criminal Referral Undermines Mueller Witch Hunt
By Cristina Laila
February 12, 2018, 12:03 Am
House Intel Minority Leader Adam
Schiff blew a fuse after President Trump
refused to release his flawed memo on
Friday.
President Trump refused to release the seriously flawed
memo on Friday. The FBI refused to release the Schiff
memo due to security concerns.
First the Intelligence Committee will have to clean it up.
Schiff continued to spread lies about his junk memo AND
GOP on Sunday in an appearance on CBS’s Face the
Nation.
Sunday evening Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck
Grassley (R-IA) hammered Adam Schiff through his spox
Taylor Foy.
Last week Senate Judiciary Chairmen Chuck Grassley and
Lindsey Graham released an unredacted criminal referral
they sent to the DOJ asking to investigate dossier author
Christopher Steele for lying to the FBI.
According to the Senate Judiciary criminal referral, Steele
lied to the FBI about his contacts with the media such as
Yahoo News and Mother Jones. Steele previously told the
FBI that he had not spoken to the media.
335
Grassley reveals the FBI KNEW Steele lied about his
contact with media outlets, yet they DID NOT disclose
this very pertinent information to the FISA court.
Also, a footnote in the unredacted Grassley memo states
the FBI failed to provide the Committee with 1023’s [FBI
form to document meetings with sources] documenting
Steele’s statements to the FBI so the Committee had to
rely on the accuracy of the FBI’s representation to the
FISC regarding those statements.
The Senate Judiciary criminal referral confirmed
information in the Nunes FISA memo released by the
House Intel Committee on February 2nd.
These two documents were devastating to Mueller’s witch
hunt, Obama’s corrupt FBI/DOJ and Hillary Clinton.
On Sunday, Adam Schiff continued his baseless claims
that both Senate Judiciary Committee and House Intel
Committee members are purposely trying to undermine
Robert Mueller.
Chairman Grassley slammed Schiff in a blistering
response.
Fox News reported:
Late Sunday, Grassley spokesman Taylor
Foy fired back at Schiff, saying in a
statement that the Steele referral “says not
one word critical of Mueller.”
“If Schiff (or anyone else) is going to claim
that it is Grassley’s intent to undermine the
Mueller probe, they should back it up with
actual evidence or retract it and apologize
for questioning the motives of their
colleagues without any basis whatsoever,”
Foy said. “Otherwise, they’re only exposing
their own biases.”
Adam Schiff has been in overdrive since the FISA memo
was released.
We know sneaky Adam Schiff put sources and methods in Mueller’s wheels are falling off because the
his junk memo on purpose so it wouldn’t be released investigation was a sham from the
ultimately trying to make Trump look like an beginning; the truth is finally bubbling up to
obstructionist. the surface which is causing Deep State
operatives live Schiff to panic.
According to investigative reporter Sara Carter Schiff
purposely put “sources and methods” in his spin memo to
force President Trump to make redactions.

 EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Weiner Kept Laptops Open
Around Sex Worker He Was Seeing Regularly
For Nearly Two Years

direct message her over Twitter. According to the woman,

the duo first met in person between Christmas and New
Years Eve in 2014. The relationship abruptly ended in
2016 after his sexual correspondence with a 15-year-old
girl was exposed.
Exchanges between the pair were explicit, including him
announcing his plans to order “Chinese food and a Thai
stripper” when asked about his holiday plans prior to their
first meeting.

A sex worker who alleges to have had a relationship with

Anthony Weiner from 2014-2016 has given the Gateway
Pundit exclusive information about their encounters,
including the fact that he would often keep his two laptops
open while she was at the apartment that he shared with his
wife Huma Abedin.

Weiner contacted the woman from two email addresses,

The investigation into Clinton’s email scandal was anthonyweiner@aol.com and anthonyweiner@gmail.com.
reopened prior to the election when thousands of State
Department emails were found on Weiner’s laptop. Earlier
this month it was revealed in text messages between agent
Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page that outgoing
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe knew about the emails
at least one month prior to the information being made
public.
The 30-year-old California woman has asked that her
identity be protected so that her current clients would not
be spooked. She told GWP that she would meet Weiner,
53, at his apartment while Abedin was away and their son
was at day care or preschool, which he went to roughly
three days a week.
She explained that they had struck up a relationship after
she had responded to a few of his tweets and he began to

 “Sometimes, he’d come across as a
reasonably mature man. Other times, he
was a petty bitch whose wife and in-laws
hated him. I met him at his apartment in NY
a few times when Huma was either
out/traveling for business and his kid was
at day care. He said he was separated at
the time (which wasn’t really true) and that
he hadn’t contacted other women since,
with the exception of me,” the woman told
the Gateway Pundit.
Though she leans right-wing, her social media is primarily
advertising for her sex work as well as selfies of her
fashion and travels. When she was with Weiner,
conversations about politics were mostly light and limited
to current events, she explained. However, the busty
brunette told GWP that Weiner once said he was hopeful
that Clinton would win so that his wife would be out of
town more often.
“During our last get-together, I asked
him if he was excited for Hillary Clinton
and Huma. Anthony said he hoped
Hillary wins the election so his wife
would be away more often and that the
White House wouldn’t bother to invite
him to major events so he could f-ck
whoever he wanted,” the woman told
the Gateway Pundit.

“In his apartment, he would have at

When the woman would travel to New York and meet with
the disgraced former congressman he would pay her
$1,000 plus a hefty tip.
“He paid me in cash like a 17-year-old drug
dealer because he ‘didn’t want to leave a
trail.’ Apparently, he wasn’t bright enough
to realize that emails and phone records
leave trails too. What an idiot,” the woman
recollected.
While Weiner claimed to be security conscious, the
woman alleged that he would often leave laptops open in
two rooms during their secret rendezvous — which of
course we now know contained classified State
Department cables.
least two laptops open – one was in the
bedroom and the other was usually in
the kitchen – but I never bothered to
snoop around and didn’t really care at
the time,” she explained. “I know one
laptop was password protected because
I accidentally hit the keyboard and the
Enter Password screen came up. I never
saw any specific/confidential content
though nor did he discuss much
political matters with me.”
When asked if it would have been easy for her to access
either of the laptops if she had been there with less
scrupulous motives, the woman told GWP that she could
have — and that he was “careless” and “should have had
everything on lockdown.”
“Maybe it’s my ego or the fact that he’s
just a weak-minded compliant man, but
it would’ve been incredibly easy for me
to get him to let his guard down and get
whatever I wanted,” she said. “He’s
lucky I was so apathetic at the time.”
Though she says she was in the home with access to the
computers, the woman was never contacted by the FBI or
any law enforcement investigating the email scandal.

338
The woman stated that Weiner was often hostile about his
wife’s Muslim religion, because it meant that he could not
keep booze in their house.
“For someone who claims to be
tolerant, he sure talked a lot of sh-t
about Huma and Muslims… and how
she wouldn’t let him have liquor in the
house,” the woman recalled.
She also provided the Gateway Pundit with screenshots of
emails that confirm his poor relationship with the Abedin
family.

The blue-eyed knockout said that she had not went public
with her story in the past because she did not want to
become the target of a media smear campaign over her
chosen profession.
“I wasn’t interested in putting my name out
in public, especially when I knew that
mainstream outlets would’ve likely tried to
smear me by calling me a lying whore who
only wants attention/settlements/etc. Sex
workers never get a fair shake in the public
forum and I preferred to avoid the
headache that would’ve came with me.
Plus, Anthony’s lies have attracted karma

photos, the woman confirmed that he did, but that they
were sent in private conversations over Twitter and were
lost when he deactivated his account.
“I wasn’t smart enough to save them
beforehand. I just assumed that if he ever
deleted his page, the convos would still be
there for me to read through,” she said.

 Additionally, there was some shame about admitting that
she had a physical affair with someone who
“f-cks like a mechanical robot (poorly) and
has the worst O face in history,” she said.

 Who Controls The GOP Senate?
Many Say It’s Democrat Chuck Schumer
Minority Leader’s Success In Budget Negotiations With Mitch Mcconnell
Has Conservatives Worried As Congress Turns To Immigration
By Brendan Kirby
Updated 12 Feb 2018 At 6:59 AM
After taking a beating from his own supporters following
an ill-fated government shutdown showdown in late
January, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)
has been on a roll.
Over the past three weeks, Schumer has repeatedly
outmaneuvered Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
(R-Ky.).
Last week, with Schumer’s support, Congress passed a
two-year budget outline that repeals spending caps
imposed in 2011.
The result means approval of hundreds of billions of
dollars in additional spending that checks off numerous
items on the progressive Democrat’s wish list for
expansion of domestic government programs.
It is not apparent what Schumer had to concede in return,
other than additional military spending. And that does not
seem to be much of a concession; after all, Democratic
members of Congress like to build weapons in their
districts, too.
The one thing Schumer did not get in the budget was a
“fix” for the expiring Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA) program, created by former President
Barack Obama via executive order in an action widely
viewed as unconstitutional.
341
The DACA move gave quasi-legal status to young adult
illegal immigrants who were brought to American as
children. But Democrats will get a shot at amnesty, too,
beginning Monday when the Senate takes up a “blank bill”
to that end on the floor.
It's enough to make some observers wonder if Schumer
could be any more successful if he had "majority" in his
title.
"Mitch McConnell doesn't run the Senate.
Chuck Schumer does," quipped Jason Pye,
vice president of legislative affairs at the
small-government activist group
FreedomWorks.
Chris Chmielenski, director of content and activism at
NumbersUSA, said it is fair to wonder whether Schumer is
the real leader of the Senate.
"We've been asking that question for
years," he said. NumbersUSA advocates
tougher immigration policies and controls.
Christopher Devine, a political science professor at the
University of Dayton in Ohio, said the Senate's arcane
rules give a great deal of leverage to the minority party.
Most measures require 60 votes, which in the current
Senate, means Republicans have to win at least nine
Democratic votes if the GOP senators stick together.
Schumer "got a pretty good deal."
As a result, Devine said, the minority leader can block the
majority party's agenda in many cases and negotiate huge
concessions. But he was hard-pressed to think of another
minority leader in recent history who has been as
successful as Schumer in advancing his agenda rather than
simply blocking the majority party.
"They seem to wield more power than you
would expect for a minority party," he said.
"I think it is fair to say he got a pretty good
deal for his interests."
The way the budget battle played out has opponents of
mass immigration worried about how the immigration
debate might go. The Senate will start an open debate on
immigration Monday, and McConnell has promised every
senator will have a chance to offer amendments that will
receive up-or-down votes.
"I don't work in Vegas. It's hard to put odds
on something," said Ira Mehlman, a
spokesman for the Federation for American
Immigration Reform (FAIR). "What we
should have started from was the
president's original position … I'd like to
play cards with these guys."
Mehlman was referring to a long list of principles that
President Donald Trump laid down shortly after
announcing in September 2017 that he would end DACA
by March 5. It included a long list of border security
measures and reform of the existing legal immigration
system.
Since then, Trump has widened the population that would
benefit — from about 690,000 DACA enrollees to 1.8
million young illegal immigrants — and narrowed his
demands to full funding of a border wall and other security
measures, including a gradual end to the ability of citizens
to sponsor extended family members for immigration and
the elimination of the diversity visa lottery, which awards
about 50,000 green cards each year to applicants chosen
randomly from around the world.
Supporters of the Development, Relief and Education for
Alien Minors (DREAM) Act hope the process will lead to
something close to what they have proposed — legal status
and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants whose
parents brought them to the country. And they don't want
the law to include a border wall or an end to so-called
chain migration.
342
Republicans divided on DACA.
Mehlman said the danger for groups like his that favor
lower levels of legal immigration and stricter enforcement
of current immigration restrictions is that an open process
could take advantage of Republican divisions.
"The Democrats have a unified position —
they want a clean DREAM Act," he said.
"The Republicans are all over the place."
Chmielenski of NumbersUSA said a backroom deal by
McConnell and Schumer probably could result in
legislation that would pass the chamber. But if it is truly an
open process that allows for unlimited amendments, he
said, the prospects for the final bill are dicier.
"If that's the way it goes, I don't think
anything will pass," he said.
If the Senate did pass a bill, that would leave it up to the
House of Representatives, where the last major amnesty
bill died four years ago.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has promised not to bring
immigration legislation to the floor unless a majority of
Republicans in the House support it and Trump would sign
it. That would doom the effort — unless Trump swung his
support behind it. The president's oscillation on DACA has
troubled immigration hard-liners.
"Trump is the wild card," Chmielenski said.
"We don't know."
But if Trump holds firm on his demands, Chmielenski
said, Ryan would face a "revolt" in his caucus if he tried to
muscle through a bill with mostly Democratic votes.
Devine, the Dayton political science professor, said the
fact that conservatives felt betrayed by the budget debate
could make an immigration deal harder, as Republicans in
Congress grow weary of bucking their base so soon on
another high-profile issue.
Devine added that the budget deal came together because
defense hawks in the GOP and Democrats decided to
achieve their goals by spending money on everyone's
priorities. Immigration defies that kind of compromise, he
said.
"DACA, or immigration, is not a problem
you can solve by spending more money,"
he said.
 Evidence Suggests Former FBI Head Of Counter
Intelligence, Bill Priestap, Is Obamagate’s ‘Deep Throat’!
By Jim Hoft
February 12, 2018, 7:00 Am
More and more evidence is beginning to
suggest the Former FBI Head of Counter
Intelligence, Bill Priestap, is
Obamagate’s ‘deep throat’ – the insider
providing information to government
investigators about the Obama crime
syndicate!
As reported earlier by TGP, Rep. Chris Stewart joined
Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night to discuss the latest
developments from the Congressional deep state
investigation. Stewart sits on the House Intelligence
Committee and told Judge Jeanine he did not want to make
any headlines. Bill Priestap came up in the discussion.
Via Judge Jeanine:
Judge Jeanine:
Who is Christopher Wray defending other
than his own FBI guys? Most of whom are
leaving or who’ve been asked to leave? I
mean that’s what’s so crazy about this.
Christopher Wray needs to be asked, what
name did you want to be not revealed
here? Peter Strzok? McCabe? You know
the people that are clearly in trouble. And,
343
by the way, have you heard the name Bill
Priestap in the FBI who’s the head of
counter intelligence and Strzok’s boss?
Rep. Chris Stewart:
Yeah, we’ve heard that name
and you’re going to hear more
of that name. I want to go back though
to something you said…
Judge Jeanine: No, I want to go back to Priestap but you
go back first… But I want to go back to Priestap. And I
want my audience to remember this name. I’ll tell you why
I’m asking. I don’t like that I haven’t heard of him. We’ve
heard of the whole hierarchy, everybody on that seventh
floor. And there’s one guy we don’t hear about and that’s
Priestap. Comey threw him under the bus and said that this
guy who was Strzok’s boss told Comey not to advise
Congress of certain things. And the fact that we haven’t
heard from Priestap tells me he’s cooperating with
someone or what?
Chris Stewart:
Well, look I’m going to be careful
on this because I’m not sure
what we can say on this and
believe me I don’t want to be the
headline… Comey surrounded himself with
liberal progressive hacks. And they don’t
reflect the entity of the Department of
Justice or the FBI.
Rep. Stewart to Judge Jeanine:
You’re going to be hearing a lot more on Bill Priestap.
Bill Priestap is the only major player
from the FBI seventh floor who is not
making any headlines.
Why?
Everyone around Priestap has either been caught inside the
investigative net or they resigned. But so far we have
heard nothing about Bill Priestap. Conservative Treehouse
has more on Priestap:

 Nunes Pledges To Investigate Former CIA Chief John
Brennan; ‘He May Have Perjured Himself’
Posted On February 12, 2018
(National Sentinel) Oversight: House Intelligence
Community chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., plans to
widen an already broad investigation into Obama-era
abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to
include former CIA Director John Brennan, according to
investigative reporter Paul Sperry.
The reason:
Nunes is concerned about Brennan’s
alleged role in promoting as a legitimate
piece of intelligence the so-called “Trump
dossier,” which was never vetted and was
instead a political opposition research
document paid for by Hillary Clinton’s
campaign. Also, according to Sperry,
Nunes believes that the former CIA chief
may have perjured himself during sworn
congressional testimony.
Writing in Real Clear Investigations, Sperry reported:
In his May 2017 testimony before the
intelligence panel, Brennan emphatically
denied the dossier factored into the
intelligence community’s publicly released
conclusion last year that Russia meddled in
the 2016 election “to help Trump’s chances
of victory.”
Brennan also swore that he did not know
who commissioned the anti-Trump
research document (excerpt here), even
though senior national security and
counterintelligence officials at the Justice
Department and FBI knew the previous
346
year that the dossier was funded by the
Hillary Clinton campaign.
Last week Nunes released the scandalous “FISA Memo,”
which detailed, among other things, serial abuses of the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court by upper echelon
officials in the FBI and Justice Department to prevent
Donald J. Trump from becoming president and to
undermine him after he defeated Hillary Clinton in
November 2016.
Subsequent reporting has claimed that the FISA memo is
only the first of several that Nunes plans to release over the
next several months, all of which will provide further
details into the House Intelligence Committee’s ongoing
investigation into alleged “Russian collusion” with the
Trump campaign and Moscow’s interference in the last
election.
The dossier was commissioned by oppo research firm
Fusion GPS, which retained former British spy
Christopher Steele to compile it. He reportedly relied on
Russian sources who passed along often salacious
information regarding President Donald J. Trump’s
behavior in Moscow hotels, including involvement with
prostitutes. But none of the information has checked out.
Also, Nunes and the committee are concerned about
ranking officials within the Obama FBI and Justice
Department using the unverified dossier to obtain a FISC
warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.
Sperry says Nunes’ probe includes additional senior
Obama officials throughout the Executive Branch who
may have played a role in the spying scandal. He reported
further:
Nunes plans to soon release a separate
report detailing the Obama State
Department’s role in creating and
disseminating the dossier — which has
emerged as the foundation of the
Obama administration’s Russia “collusion”
investigation. Among other things, the
report will identify Obama-appointed
diplomats who worked with partisan
operatives close to Hillary Clinton to
 help ex-British spy Christopher Steele
compile the dossier, sources say.
“Those are the first two phases” of Nunes’
multipart inquiry, a senior investigator told
Sperry. “In phase three, the involvement of
the intelligence community will come into
sharper focus.”
The investigator said that Nunes will focus
on Brennan’s role, but also examine any
possible involvement by “Obama’s first CIA
director, Leon Panetta, along with
the former president’s intelligence czar,
James Clapper, and national security
adviser, Susan Rice, and security adviser-
turned U.N. ambassador Samantha Power,
among other intelligence officials.”
“John Brennan did more than anyone to
promulgate the dirty dossier,” the
investigator said. “He politicized and
effectively weaponized what was
false intelligence against Trump.”
Sperry added:
“Trump campaign lawyer Michael Cohen,
whom the dossier accused of conspiring
with the Kremlin to pay Russian hackers to
steal Clinton campaign emails. It’s one of
several libel and defamation lawsuits tied to
the dossier,” Sperry noted.
Russian tech firms named in the dossier have also filed
suit.
Former CIA field operations officer Gene Coyle, a 30-year
agency veteran who served under Brennan, said he was
“known as the greatest sycophant in the
history of the CIA, and a supporter of
Hillary Clinton before the election.”
“I find it hard to put any real credence in
anything that the man says,” he added.
Brennan, now a CNN analyst, has been openly critical of
Nunes and Republican House Intel members, as well as
Trump.

Several Capitol Hill sources say Brennan, a

fiercely loyal Obama appointee, talked up
the dossier to Democratic leaders, as well
as the press, during the campaign. They
say he also fed allegations about Trump-
Russia contacts directly to the FBI, while
pressuring the bureau to conduct an
investigation of several Trump campaign
figures starting in the summer of 2016.

tweeted earlier this month.

None of the traditional “mainstream” media outlets were
interested, however, because the contents of the dossier
could not be verified. However, finally, Buzzfeed
published the entire 35-page document in January 2017,
shortly before Trump took office. The news site has since
been sued by
.
On Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” Brennan
tore into Nunes for releasing the FISA
memo, claiming the head of the intelligence
panel has “abused the office of the
chairmanship.”
“It really underscores just how partisan Mr.
Nunes has been,” Brennan said.

 Former Secret Service Agent: Adam Schiff Is A Snake!
He’s The Biggest Fraud On Capitol Hill (Video)
By Jim Hoft
February 12, 2018, 7:47 Am

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino joined FOX and
Friends on Monday morning to discuss the latest in the
Obamagate Trump spying scandal.
Bongino told the morning hosts that former CIA Director
John Brennan is “in a world of trouble” for lying under
oath to Congress about the Russia dossier.
Dan Bongino then clubbed hyper-partisan hack Adam
Schiff,
“Oh, I didn’t know who commissioned the
dossier. Which is amazing! Because the
CIA has a central role in the verification of
foreign assets and information we get from
foreign assets. It is not plausibly deniable
that John Brennan did not know who
commissioned that dossier. He’s in a world
of trouble because he raised his right hand
and he said the exact opposite… Jim
Clapper is knee deep in this as well…

Steve Doocy:
“A snake. He’s the biggest fraud on
Capitol Hill right now!”
So Dan ultimately people like Adam Schiff,
the Democrat from California, is he doing
his best to keep all this from coming out or
is he just playing the loyal opposition.

Dan Bongino:

Adam Schiff is a snake. He’s the biggest

fraud on Capitol Hill right now. Adam Schiff
is doing the Democrats’ dirty work in trying
to cover up.

Via FOX and Friends:

Dan Bongino: It’s always predictable with them and it just
shows their devious side. For as much as I disagree with
Democrats and their ideology and everything they do…
You almost have to respect their deviousness. They’re
tactically brilliant. Put information in there that they know
can’t get out on sources and methods in their memo that is.
Give it to the president knowing he can’t release that
memo. And then come back and say almost immediately
on queue. Oh look the president is hiding something. It’s
really deranged but this is what they do…

My sources are telling me John Brennan

is in a world of trouble right now!

In May of 2017 Brennan said under oath on the hill,

 NBC News Hires War Criminal John Brennan
By Stephen Lendman - Stephenlendman.Org
2-12-2018
Brennan is a deplorable figure, a longtime imperial spear
carrier, most recently serving as Bush/Cheney’s
counterintelligence director, then Obama’s homeland
security advisor and CIA director.
He was involved in torture and abuse at Guantanamo and
other US torture prisons.
He was Obama’s Murder, Inc. administrator, chairing a
panel of National Security Council officials, along with
others from the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, and State
Department, waging US war OF terror at home and
abroad, deciding who lives or dies, chosen victims a
closely held secret, Trump continuing the same dirty
scheme.
Anyone can be targeted anywhere in the world. Ordinary
people, distinguished ones, or officials are fair game. Their
crime is opposing US imperialism.
Drone wars are prioritized. Human lives don’t matter.
Rule of law principles are spurned. Summary judgment
overrides them.
Obama usurped diktat authority. He appointed himself
judge, jury and executioner. He and Brennan met
regularly, plotting to assassinate US enemies.
Names went on a kill list called America’s “disposition
matrix,” Brennan in charge of global assassinations,
making him an ideal CIA director choice.
Russiagate is a cooked up Brennan scheme, complicit
with Obama and Hillary to delegitimize Trump, trying to
prevent his election, aiming to remove him from office
once in power, plotting a coup d’etat against a sitting
350
president, the way banana republics operate, rogue state
America worse than any around.
Brennan reflects the worst of imperial lawlessness, a war
criminal, a Russophobic/Islamophobic rogue actor,
involved in cooking up phony accusations of Russian US
election meddling, a serial liar, a threat to world peace -
splendid credentials for an NBC News talking head
contributor.
He earlier lied to NBC about CIA attempts to muzzle a
Senate Intelligence Committee investigation into the
agency’s use of torture on his watch.
Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press in his new capacity,
he slammed Devin Nunes, accusing him of bias to protect
Trump for preparing his memo detailing Russiagate FISA
abuses - information Brennan wants suppressed.
US cable and broadcast news organizations employ a
rogue’s gallery of former government officials and
Pentagon commanders - hired to deceive, not inform
viewers, reporting the official narrative, suppressing hard
truths important for everyone to know.
NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, CNN, and MSNBC employ an army
of paid liars - their own reporters, along with former
government, military and imperial think tank
commentators to keep the public uninformed about high
crimes of state.
The only way to stay informed is by following reliable
alternative sources of news and information - featuring
what media scoundrels suppress.

 Health Ranger: If Hillary Is Arrested,
The Left Will VIOLENTLY Revolt!
Mac Slavo
February 12th, 2018
Mike Adams, commonly known as the Health Ranger, has
sounded the alarm that we should prepare for violent civil
unrest. Should Hillary Clinton ever be arrested for her
crimes against the United States, Adams says the left will
launch a violent uprising.
Adams has been at the forefront of the political scandal
surrounding democrats for some time. He’s been decently
accurate when predicting which moves the left will make
next. Now he wants everyone to be aware of what he says
will happen in the event of Hillary Clinton’s arrest. A
couple of months ago, Adams reported on contractors
being told to brace for a domestic deployment. He now
believes he understands why these people were put on
alert.
One or both of those people [Hillary
Clinton or Barack Obama] is going to be
arrested and indicted for multiple felony
crimes. And it’s most likely going to be
Hillary Clinton. Obama has more
immunity as a former president; he’s got
more distance between him and the crimes
that were committed. Things may reflect
353
poorly on Obama, and Obama was
certainly in charge when the felony crimes
and the illegal surveillance was being
conducted on the Trump campaign officials
and transition officials. But Hillary
Clinton…her hand has been caught in the
cookie jar.
Adams admits that this may take months, if not a few years
before all of the information comes out. “Fact-finding” is
slow in Washington, as to be expected with never-ending
bureaucratic red tape in the way, but the wheels are
grinding. But what happens when Hillary Clinton gets
indicted?
This is where the riots and uprisings
come into play. At that point, the left
goes nuts! Because you’ve got to
remember these brainwashed left-wing
feminists, mostly,
they love Hillary Clinton. They think she’s an angel. Oh,
my god, they think she is the most honest, upstanding,
ethical person. They have no idea she’s a murderer – that
they ordered executions of people like Vince Foster-when
I say they, I mean Bill and Hillary Clinton. These
sycophants have no idea what Hillary Clinton really is in
terms of a mafia boss, and committing felony crimes and
lying and covering thing up and having people killed at
Benghazi.
If Hillary Clinton gets indicted, the same lying left that
tried to steal the election, that tried to push a fake Russia
hoax collusion narrative on America…
that same left will call for mass
uprisings and even violence
nationwide.
Adams then says that the same media that helped
propagandize for Hillary during the 2016 election they
attempted to rig, will call for the uprisings. There is more
and more evidence emerging that the arrest of Hillary
Clinton is probable, and Adams says if that happens, the
left will lose all credibility for decades. Instead of losing
credibility slowly and peacefully though, they will revolt
and cause untold chaos.

 An Open Letter To
Robert De Niro From A Conservative Fan
'I Was So Disappointed To Hear About Your Most Recent Comments
About President Donald Trump ... Moral Preening Doesn't Suit You'
By Lee Habeeb
Updated 12 Feb 2018 At 10:02 AM
Dear Mr. De Niro,
I’ve been a fan since I first saw you in “Mean Streets.” It was
clear you were destined for greatness. You were not like any
actor I’d ever seen before. You had movie-star looks. But it was
your intelligence that drew us in. And your ability to make
unlikable — and sometimes tortured — characters more fully
human. It was your depth and range of emotion that stood out …
your ability to make complex alpha-male characters fully human.
You had remarkable empathetic powers. And empathy is what
acting is all about. Actors don’t judge the characters they play.
They become them.
And what characters you became: Bruce Pearson in “Bang the
Drum Slowly,” Vito Corleone in “The Godfather,” Jimmy Doyle in
“New York, New York,” Father Spellacy in “True Confessions,”
Rodrigo Mendoza in “The Mission,” Al Capone in “The
Untouchables,” Rupert Pupkin in “King of Comedy,” Jimmy
Conway in “Goodfellas,” Leonard Lowe in “Awakenings,” Neal
McCauley in “Heat,” Jack Tiberius Byrnes in “Meet the Parents”
— and my favorite, Lorenzo Anello in “A Bronx Tale.”
You played mobsters, a catatonic patient, a retired CIA agent, a
comedian, a corrupt priest, a boxer, a thief, a soldier, an intern, a
bounty hunter, a baseball player, a saxophone player, a bus
driver, and a taxi driver.
The flaws in your characters were never burnished, because you
know all of us have flaws, and they can’t be separated from our
virtues. There is, in every character you played, a part of
yourself. A part of us all.
In what is arguably your best performance, you brought Travis
Bickle to life in “Taxi Driver.” You somehow knew his story and
lived it. He was a Marine Corps veteran who had trouble
355
adjusting to the world after a stint in Vietnam. We were afraid of
Travis. But we were hoping he could keep things together. We
understood that at any moment, he might do something bad. Or
that someone might do something bad to him.
That scene in the hotel room where you are talking to yourself in
front of a mirror was captivating. Watching you playing a
character trying to become a character in his own real-life drama
was something I’d never seen on the screen.
It was odd. It was ominous. You in your Marine Corp regalia, a
contraption strapped to your arm to prepare for a showdown or
duel. Talking to the poor imaginary person about to get shot. And
then you arrived out of nowhere in that Mohawk. That’s when we
knew something bad was about to happen. It did.
The arc of your performance was a thing to behold. You showed
us something human in Travis. The darkness and anger. But a
more vulnerable side, too. Especially in the scenes where you
protected a young prostitute — played by Jodie Foster — from
her brutal pimp. She was broken. She was vulnerable. But you
never took advantage of her.
You won your first Oscar nomination for that performance. And
you won your first Oscar four years later in 1981 for your work in
“Raging Bull.” The physical nature of the part was astounding.
How you got your body to do what it did — morphing from a
muscular athlete with a dancer’s agility and a linebacker’s power
to an overweight, over-the-hill stand-up comic — may be the
greatest physical feat ever performed in movies.
It was matched by an equally powerful emotional performance.
Your alpha male Italian-American prizefighter goes from a
damaged young man filled with rage, to a tragic old man filled
with regret. You were angry and sad, uncontrollable and out of
control, a lonely soul who couldn’t understand himself, let alone
trust another human being. You harbored deep and contradictory
convictions about women: You saw them as divine until they
come into contact with real life, at which point they became
sullied, no better than a prostitute. We watched you grow older,
but not wiser. Watched you lose everything, ending up in jail for
consorting with underaged women. We watched your struggle
with sin. With your own demons. You never seemed quite able to
conquer them.
In the movie’s powerful final scene, there you were in a white
tuxedo, rehearsing the “I Could Have Been a Contender” speech
from “on The Waterfront” in front a mirror, all alone. You were
psyching yourself up, but this time not in preparation for a fight,
but for your tragic stand-up act.
Then came the title cards as the scene faded to black:
So for the second time, [the Pharisees] summoned the man who
had been blind and said: “Speak the truth before God. We know
this fellow is a sinner.”
“Whether or not he is a sinner, I do not know,” the man replied.
“All I know is this: Once I was blind and now I can see.”
I’ll never forget sitting in the theater as the credits rolled. I
couldn’t move. I was in tears. Though I was a much younger,
much different man than LaMotta, you made me feel his pain.
And my own pain, too.
That’s the thing about art. It challenges us. It surprises us. And it
reveals the contradictions and convulsions within us all. It may be
your crowning achievement that so many of your performances
did those things.
That’s why I was so disappointed to hear your comments about
President Donald Trump this past month. Disappointed because
your comments were rude. And lacked your characteristic
courage. The courage to surprise us. And yourself.
Let's start with why the comments were rude.
"This f***ing idiot is the president," you told the crowd at the
National Board of Review's 2018 awards at the swank midtown
Manhattan restaurant Cipriani. The crowd roared in approval. But
you weren't finished. "It's The Emperor's New Clothes. The guy is
a f***ing fool. Come on." You then went on to call the president
— America's president — the "jerk-off in chief."
Then you did it again this past weekend, this time at a World
Government Summit in Dubai, where you had this to say about
not only our president, but the nation:
I am talking about my own country, the United States of America.
We don't like to say we are a 'backward' country, so let's just say
we are suffering from a case of temporary insanity.
356
What you failed to appreciate was this about the millions of fans
you insulted with your rants: They may not have liked Donald
Trump, but they voted for him anyway. Because sometimes,
people we don't like — people who offend our sensibilities — are
very good at their jobs. Like the character the actress you were
honoring in New York, Meryl Streep, so capably brought to life a
few years ago.
It was Amanda Priestly in "The Devil Wears Prada," and Streep
knocked it out of the park. Could that character have become a
force in her industry by being anyone but the tough — even cruel
— person she was? That's what made Streep's performance
great. She didn't judge Amanda. She played her.
Could it be that Donald Trump has similar strengths and flaws?
And might he end up being an effective leader, too? And could it
be that the people who voted for him saw what you just couldn't
see? And they aren't "backward" at all?
Your rant also lacked courage. You didn't challenge your peers:
They didn't boo or hiss you. We know why. They all agree with
you. That's not courage, what you said. It's moral preening. And
preening doesn't suit you.
I expected more from you. Especially from the guy who played
Mike Vronsky in "The Deer Hunter," a movie that was as much
about character as it was about place. And not just any place, but
a small working-class steel town on the Monongahela River
south of Pittsburgh.
Like the out-of-work coal miners in West Virginia, many of those
ex-steelworkers voted in mass for Trump because their jobs had
vanished. Your candidate — and fellow New Yorker — Hillary
Clinton never talked about their suffering and pain. Trump did.
They weren't racists or bigots because they voted the way they
did, and they don't cling to their Bibles and guns, as your friend,
former President Barack Obama, described many years ago.
They may not have cared for Trump's egotism or his style. But
they voted for him because he promised to fight for them. And
Trump, like him or not, has done that.
In what may have been the best movie of the past two years,
"Hell or High Water," Jeff Bridges plays an old Texas Ranger
who teases his fellow Texas Ranger incessantly about his half-
Comanche, half-Mexican heritage. It would be easy to write the
Bridges character off as a racist or bigot. But in the end, we learn
that he loved his partner, and was willing to die for him.
That's what art does. It surprises us. Inspires us. Even heals us.
That's why your rants were so disappointing. They were rude.
They lacked courage. And they weren't edgy. They were obvious.
I'd expect such crude rants from Rosie O'Donnell or Kathy Griffin
— but you?
Worst of all, the empathetic powers you so generously deploy
with the fictional characters you play was not extended to millions
of real-life Americans, President Trump included, who see life
differently than you. That Trump is a complicated alpha male —
your calling card and specialty — only makes your caricature of
the man, and your commentary, that much more disappointing.
You failed your own standards as an actor. And this is one case
where you can't blame the writer.

 Former Chief Asst. U.S. Attorney: Entire Media Missing
Most Important Point About Steele Dossier (VIDEO)
By Joshua Caplan
February 12, 2018, 1:37 Pm
Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney
and National Review columnist Andrew
C. McCarthy joined “Fox & Friends,”
Monday morning and explained why the
media is missing the most important
point about the Steele dossier.
Credit: Maureen Dowling
Listen closely to the exchange between Fox News
host Steve Doocy and McCarthy.
Doocy:
“Ultimately what the Graham-Grassley
criminal referral memo, what it does, is it
verifies much of what was in Devin Nunes’
memo that was released about ten days
ago, Andy. But then you look at the
Christopher Steele dossier, ultimately the
Nunes memo has been verified a thousand
times you write in National Review Online –
a thousand times more than the Steele
dossier.”
McCarthy:
“Yeah, see this is the big problem. We
spend a lot of time talking about Steele’s
credibility and it’s certainly worth doing that
.
368
because it certainly appears that the
Justice Department and the FBI concealed
major courts of his bias. Simply the fact
that he was working for the opposition
campaign is something that clearly should
have been disclosed. But, that’s not the
principle problem with his work product.
The principle problem with the dossier is
that courts don’t care what the investigative
agent’s credibility is. What they want to
know is the sources of the factual
information that you are asking me the
judge to grant a warrant based on to say
there’s probable cause on. I need to know
that those sources are believable. You
gotta give me something that tells me why I
should credit them. The real problem with
the dossier is that the sources are these
anonymous Russians who are often 3-4-
5 steps removed in terms of hearsay
from the things that they claim to have
seen […] Steele himself has been to
Russia in 20-years.”
McCarthy’s comments should come as concerning as
Steele told a UK court that the dossier contains “limited
intelligence.”
Steele also admitted part of “his final December memo,”
was unvetted.
“Such intelligence was not actively sought;
it was merely received,” Steele added.
The dossier contains explosive, but unverified, opposition
research that alleges intel ties between Russia and Trump
and also claims Russia holds blackmail material over
Trump.

 DNC Deputy Chair Keith Ellison Said He Never Met With
Louis Farrakhan – THEN THIS VIDEO WAS
RELEASED!
By Jim Hoft
February 12, 2018, 2:35 Pm

The Democratic Party finally has a Deputy Chair who

represents the true values of the party.

Keith Ellison has done a wonderful job this year for

exposing America to today’s Democrat Party.

Here are a few of his best hits from the past year, via the
RNC:

** He said Marxist tyrant Kim Jong Un was

more responsible than President Trump

Ellison and Meeks both participated in the private dinner

and discussion.

** Compared not giving sanctuary to illegal

aliens to not helping Jews in Nazi Germany
** Posted a photo of himself praising the
“Antifa” handbook

Now, Ellison has been exposed for lying about a meeting

with Louis Farrakhan and the President of Iran in 2013.
According to The Wall Street Journal — On MSNBC’s
“Morning Joe” in December 2016, Mr. Ellison angrily
accused his critics of a “smear campaign” for “talking
about something that happened in 1995,” when Mr. Ellison
was 32.
And now there is video of Louis Farrakhan and Keith
But Keith wasn’t telling the truth. Ellison from 2013!

Rep. Ellison and fellow Democrat Gregory Meeks had (The video has been up for years but only has 224 views.)
dinner with Louis Farrakhan and Iranian leader Hassan
Rouhani in 2013.

The Nation of Islam website posted photos from the

dinner.
372

So either Ellison had dinner with Farrakhan
numerous times or this was from the dinner
with the Iranian leader.
For the record Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan: has
long been pegged both racist and anti-Semitic. Farrakhan
has praised Adolf Hitler, condemned Jews, and spouted off
hateful rhetoric about his belief that white people are
subhumans created by an ancient African scientist.

Neither option is good. Ellison truly is the face of the new DNC.

 REVEALED: ANOTHER Top Mueller Investigator
OUTED As Diehard Liberal & Democrat Donor
By Joshua Caplan
February 12, 2018, 3:17 Pm
Can anyone point to an investigator on
special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe
who isn’t either hostile towards
President Trump or a bonfire Democrat?
A new report by the Daily Caller reveals
an attorney on Mueller’s team, Aaron
Zelinsky, was not only a Huffington Post
blogger, but has donated to Democrat
candidates.
“I’m a Democrat,” Zelinsky wrote on
November 7th, 2012.
Daily Caller reports:
Aaron Zelinsky, a self-described Democrat,
wrote nearly 50 articles as a contributor for
the liberal news outlet from 2009 to 2014.
A review of his articles shows that
he supported President Barack Obama’s
efforts to close Guantanamo
Bay, opposed President George W. Bush’s
policy on torture, wrote in defense of gun
control and argued for government-
imposed limits on how much corporate
executives can earn. […]
Zelinsky expressed support for Democratic
candidate John Kerry before a 2004
general election debate. “From one Yale
debater to another: Good luck, senator. I’m
rooting for you,” he wrote in The Hartford
Courant. And he had encouraging words
for Obama, wishing him good luck before a
374
2012 debate against Republican challenger
Mitt Romney. “Stay relaxed up there,”
Zelinsky wrote in a column. “You did the
debate thing in 2008; it’s a piece of cake.
No sweat.” […]
In addition, Federal Elections Commission records, which
only list contributions made at the federal level, show
that nine of the 16 publicly-disclosed lawyers on the
Mueller team have donated to Democratic candidates.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft reported, Zelinsky,
worked as an attorney on detail from the U.S. Attorney’s
Office in the District of Maryland. — He
worked under Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
in Maryland.
Hoft put together one of most comprehensive lists in all
the media highlighting potential political bias on Mueller’s
probe.
It’s a must read.
The Entire Mueller Investigative Team
 Rush Atkinson, an attorney on detail from the Criminal
Division’s Fraud Section at the Department of Justice
— Donated $200 to Clinton in 2016
 Peter Carr – DOJ spokesman under Barack Obama.
 Andrew Goldstein, a public corruption prosecutor on

Barack Obama.
 Brandon Van Grack, an attorney on detail from the
Justice Department’s National Security Division.
— Led a grand jury inquiry in Northern Virginia

Susan Rice Sent Herself On Trump’s Inauguration Day

Grassley said in a letter to Susan Rice: 6.

“It strikes us as odd that, among your
activities in the final moments on the final
day of the Obama administration, you
would feel the need to send yourself such
an unusual email purporting to document a
conversation involving President Obama
and his interactions with the FBI regarding
the Trump/Russia investigation. In
addition, despite your claim that President
Obama repeatedly told Mr. Comey to
proceed ‘by the book,’ substantial
questions have arisen about whether
officials at the FBI, as well as at the Justice
Department and the State Department,
actually did proceed ‘by the book.’”
Did you send the email attached to this letter to
yourself? Do you have any reason to dispute the
timestamp of the email?
When did you first become aware of the FBI’s
investigation into allegations of collusion between Mr.
Trump’s associates and Russia?
When did you become aware of any surveillance
activities, including FISA applications, undertaken by
the FBI in conducting that investigation? At the time
you wrote this email to yourself, were you aware of
either the October 2016 FISA application for
surveillance of Carter Page or the January 2017
renewal?
Did anyone instruct, request, suggest, or imply that you
should send yourself the aforementioned Inauguration
Day email memorializing President Obama’s meeting
with Mr. Comey about the Trump/Russia investigation?
If so, who and why?
Is the account of the January 5, 2017 meeting
presented in your email accurate? Did you omit any
other portions of the conversation?
Other than that email, did you document the January 5,
2017 meeting in any way, such as contemporaneous
 notes or a formal memo? To the best of your a law enforcement perspective.” Did President Obama

or otherwise memorialize the meeting? perspective relating to the FBI’s investigation?

7. During the meeting, did Mr. Comey or Ms. Yates
mention potential press coverage of the Steele

Donald Trump Jr. broke his silence after

his wife Vanessa was hospitalized after
opening a suspicious letter containing
white powdery substance mailed to their
New York City apartment.

According to NBC News:

The letter was addressed to Vanessa

“Thankful that Vanessa & my children are
safe and unharmed after the incredibly
scary situation that occurred this morning.
Truly disgusting that certain individuals
choose to express their opposing views
with such disturbing behavior,” tweeted
Trump Jr.
Trump’s husband, Donald Trump Jr., the

Ivana.
After the letter was opened, three people at
the residence were taken to New York

There is no indication anyone suffered any
injuries; the NYPD said the substance was
deemed to be non-hazardous and was

RUSSIA SCANDALS
Information that continues to be revealed shows a tangled
web of deceit that could perhaps be one of the largest
conspiracies to be perpetrated upon the American public,
and it is not just the "Russia/Trump colluding" hoax, but
rather the entire assertion in the original DNI report,
released by the former Director James Clapper, that
claims The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), The
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and The National
Security Agency (NSA) had a "high level of confidence"
that Russia's media campaign to influence U.S. voters was
to "help Trump."
Each of the three agencies that claimed they had a high
level of confidence that Russia wanted to help Donald
Trump, have now been implicated in using the Kremlin
sourced Steele dossier, and other Russian intel, to
manufacture the entire "Russian collusion with Trump"
narrative. In hindsight, knowing what we do now, one has
to question everything contained in the original DNI
report.
When the DNI report came out, multiple media outlets
asserted all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies agreed with the
"assessments" in the report, yet later, the AP, and the New
York Times, had to issue corrections to their articles,
showing that only three agencies had a high level of
confidence that Russia was trying to help Donald Trump
become elected as President.
Here is the New York Times correction, dated June 29,
2018:
A White House Memo article on Monday
about President Trump’s deflections and
denials about Russia referred incorrectly
to the source of an intelligence assessment
380
that said Russia orchestrated hacking
attacks during last year’s presidential
election. The assessment was made by
four intelligence agencies — the Office
of the Director of National Intelligence,
the Central Intelligence Agency, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the
National Security Agency. The
assessment was not approved by all 17
organizations in the American
intelligence community.
The FISA abuse memo, dubbed phase one by the
Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin
Nunes, which implicated senior level members of the FBI
and DOJ in using the Russian sourced Steele dossier to
obtain FISA warrants, was the first of a number of planned
memos and revelations. Phase two according to Nunes will
be a second report which highlights the Obama State
Department's role in manufacturing and disseminating the
Steele dossier. Phase three, according to Real Clear
Investigations, is "the involvement of the intelligence
community will come into sharper focus."
The aide, who spoke only on condition of
anonymity, said Nunes will focus on
Brennan as well as President Obama’s
first CIA director, Leon Panetta, along with
the former president’s intelligence czar,
James Clapper, and national security
adviser, Susan Rice, and security adviser-
turned U.N. ambassador Samantha
Power, among other intelligence officials.
“John Brennan did more than anyone to
promulgate the dirty dossier,” the
investigator said. “He politicized and
effectively weaponized what was false
intelligence against Trump.”
John Brennan was the Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency from March 2013 to January 2017.
More on Brennan from Real Clear Investigations:
Several Capitol Hill sources say Brennan, a
fiercely loyal Obama appointee, talked up
the dossier to Democratic leaders, as
well as the press, during the campaign.
They say he also fed allegations about
Trump-Russia contacts directly to the FBI,
while pressuring the bureau to conduct an
investigation of several Trump campaign
figures starting in the summer of 2016
This puts Brennan right in the crosshairs for perjury, as in
May 2017, he specifically testified under oath to Congress
that he did not know who commissioned the Steele dossier
(Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC), and that he had
"no awareness," of the FBI relying on the Steele dossier
for any court filings or applications (the FISA warrants to
surveil Carter Page). Brennan also claimed the CIA did not
rely on the dossier and that it was not used in the
Intelligence Community Assessment.
The National Security Agency (NSA) , it has been
recently revealed by none other than the NYT, was using
their official Twitter channel to secretly communicate
Russian using coded messages. The part of that article that
caught quite a bit of attention was that the NSA was also
willing to pay for dirt on Trump, specifically, a video
claiming to show Trump with prostitutes in Moscow in
2013, which was one of the main unverified aspects of the
Steele dossier. Even the New York Times admits in their
article "There remains no evidence that such a video
exists." (Hot Air has the direct quote from NYT)
So the only three intelligence agencies that would stand by
the "high level" of confidence that Russia was trying to
help Donald Trump get elected, subsequently have been
caught themselves, communicating and/or colluding with
Russia.
In the case of the NSA it was offering to pay Russians for
information or a video of Trumpwhile communicating
secretly, via Twitter, with the Russians.
In the case of the Director of the CIA, Brennan, the
weaponizing the information contained within the
unverified dossier, while promulgating it to the media,
Democrats, and according to Real Clear Investigations, "In
early January, just weeks before Trump was inaugurated,
investigators say Brennan saw to it that the contents from
the dossier were attached to an official daily intelligence
briefing for Obama. The special classified briefing was
then leaked to the major Washington media, allowing
them to use the presidential briefing to justify the
publication of claims they had up to that point not been
able to substantiate and had been reluctant to run.
In the case of the FBI, the dossier was used to create the
"Russia collusion" hoax, obtain FISA warrants, and
instigate the special counsel probe into the Trump
campaign.
381
What a coincidence that all three agencies that concluded
based on their "assessment" that Russia carried out a media
campaign to favor Donald Trump, then began the
investigation into Trump colluding with Russia, have all
now been engulfed in their own Russia scandals.
ANOTHER COINCIDENCE!
Coincidentally, it appears that former members of all three
of the same agencies, including John Brennan and James
Clapper, have all joined the anti-Trump media, including
spots at CNN and NBC/MSNBC, as detailed by the New
American in an article titled "Deep State-Fake News
Marriage: CIA, NSA, FBI Operatives Join Media In
Droves."
NEW INFORMATION COMING SOON ON
MYSTERIOUS INSIDE INFORMANT?
In the video below, it appears that Judge Jeanine Pirro is
onto a huge story, as at approximately the 2:30 minute

spoken about much in the media leaks, the Strzok/Page
text messages, or the House or Senate memos. His name
is E.W. “Bill” Priestap, who is the head of the FBI
Counterintelligence division and was the direct supervisor
of Peter Strzok.
According to The Last Refuge, Priestap was also referred
to in testimony in front of Congress by former FBI
Director James Comey (video at link), not by name, but by
position, basically attempting to set Priestap up as a
scapegoat. TLR suggests that while many above and below

Priestap is still on the job, yet never mentioned in any of
the fast breaking news of late implicating a number of
other senior level officials, indicating he may be a source

the tangled web of deceit the Clinton deep state members
have created surrounding the Russia investigation.

Judge Jeanine highlights that Comey "threw him under the

Stewart then says

“Trump will not approve of releasing Dem memo, per

the Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey.

 Here’s How Democrats Are Undermining
Our National Security Just To ‘Get Trump’
By J. D. Heyes, Editor-In-Chief
Posted On February 12, 2018
(National Sentinel) Dangerous: I’ve not been a big fan of
The New York Times’ coverage of President Donald J.
Trump because I feel like the paper has gone out of its way
to portray him in as negative a light as possible, even to the
extent of publishing no small amount of fake news
regarding the president and his administration.
But on Saturday the Times published one of the most
balanced reports involving the president and the subject of
Russian espionage that I’ve seen in quite some time. And
in doing so, the paper made it clear that the Democrats’
never-ending narrative that Trump “colluded with Russia”
to “steal the election” from Hillary Clinton is not only
undermining his presidency putting our national security at
risk.
The Times reported that U.S. intelligence agents spent
several months last year cultivating a Russian source who
claimed he had in his possession stolen cyberweapons
developed by the National Security Agency for use in
penetrating Russian, Chinese, Iranian, North Korean and
other countries’ strategic computer systems. Following a
15-month investigation, NSA officials said they believe
that Russia was behind the theft.
After some months, U.S. spies were essentially bilked out
of $100,000 by the shadowy Russian figure who not only
promised the stolen NSA cyber weapons but
“also…compromising material on President
Trump, according to American and
European intelligence officials.”
(Related: Russian operative CASHED IN with US spy
agencies; $100K payday after promises to deliver
cyberweapons and TRUMP DIRT.)
At this point, I was tempted to stop reading the story
because I thought,
“Here we go again; the same ‘trumped’ up
‘Russian collusion’ charges but with a new
twist.” But I was in for a surprise.
386
The Times noted that the Russian figure was paid his first
$100,000 stipend in a Berlin hotel room in September
2017; I say “first” because the deal was worth $1 million,
provided he actually possessed and then turned over the
cyber weapons.
The paper also noted this very early in the story:
Several American intelligence officials said
they made clear that they did not want the
Trump material from the Russian, who was
suspected of having murky ties to Russian
intelligence and to Eastern European
cybercriminals. He claimed the information
would link the president and his associates
to Russia. Instead of providing the hacking
tools, the Russian produced unverified and
possibly fabricated information involving
Mr. Trump and others, including bank
records, emails and purported Russian
intelligence data.
Fair enough. But then, in the very next paragraph, the
Times reported:
The United States intelligence officials said
they cut off the deal because they were
wary of being entangled in a Russian
operation to create discord inside the
American government. They were also
fearful of political fallout in Washington
if they were seen to be buying scurrilous
information on the president.
There’s more. Later in the story the Times detailed some of
the alleged “evidence” the Russian operative said he had,
noting each time that a) U.S. intelligence officials did not
believe it to be valid; and b) that they were highly
suspicious of the “evidence” in the first place, based in no
small part on the fact that nothing could be verified and
they were more interested by far in retrieving the stolen
cyber weapons.
But here’s where it gets interesting. The Times then
reported:
American intelligence agencies believe that
Russia’s spy services see the deep
political divisions in the United States
as a fresh opportunity to inflame
partisan tensions. Russian hackers are
targeting American voting databases ahead
of the midterm election this year, they said,
and using bot armies to promote partisan
causes on social media. The Russians are
also particularly eager to cast doubt on
the federal and congressional
investigations into the Russian
meddling, American intelligence officials
said.
Part of that effort, the officials said,
appears to be trying to spread
information that hews closely to
unsubstantiated reports about Mr.
Trump’s dealings in Russia.
.
387
In other words, Russian intelligence agencies are using the
Democrats’ false ‘collusion’ narrative to further inflame
partisan tensions that lead to a distrust of our political
system and institutions, which resolutely is a threat to
social stability and, as a result, our national security.
Democrats are doing this, not
Republicans.
And the Russians are using the Democrats’ fake narrative
to weaken our social and political trust.
That’s why Robert Mueller’s “collusion”
investigation has to end, and why the
various congressional committees
investigating the same thing must
publicly announce they’ve completed
their probes and no such collusion
evidence has been found (because it
never existed).
 LEAK: Loretta Lynch, James Comey & Andrew McCabe
In HOT SEAT As IG Investigation Nears End
By Joshua Caplan
February 12, 2018, 5:43 Pm
Fox News contributor Sara Carter
reports Justice Department Inspector
General Michael Horowitz will wrap up
his investigation into the handling of the
FBI’s Hillary Clinton email investigation
next month.
Carter reveals the probe includes
interviews with former top and current
FBI and Justice Department officials.
Carter reports:
According to several government officials,
the scope of DOJ Inspector General
Michael Horowitz’s investigation into the
FBI’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s
mishandling of classified information would
likely go beyond just the collection of
government issued cell phones and emails.
Horowitz’s investigation, which quietly
began last January, is expected to wrap up
by mid-March. He has interviewed dozens
of witnesses, including now removed FBI
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former
Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former FBI
Director James Comey, FBI agent Strzok,
FBI lawyer Page and other current and
former FBI officials.
Carter recently told Fox News host Sean Hannity that
Horowtiz is investigating whether or not outgoing FBI
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe asked bureau agents to
“change their 302s.”
PJ Media reports:
388
“I have been told tonight by a number of
sources … that McCabe may have asked
FBI agents to actually change their
302s,” Carter told host Sean Hannity.
The 302 form contains information from the notes an FBI
agent takes during an interview of a subject. It is used by
FBI agents to
“report or summarize the interviews that
they conduct.”
“So basically every time an FBI agent
interviews a witness, they have to go
back and file a report,”Carter explained.
A day after the New York Times reported FBI Director
Christopher Wray confronted McCabe over unspecified
findings in Horowitz’s report, the Washington Post reveals
the embattled bureau official is being probed over his role
in examining emails found on former Rep. Anthony
Weiner’s laptop.
McCabe’s announcement came one day after his boss read
the FISA abuse memo. While experts believe McCabe
being implicated in the four-page document led to his
departure, the New York Times says it was another report
that caught Wray’s attention.
Last June, former lawmaker Jason
Chaffetz reported Horowitz was
investigating Lynch’s role in the Clinton
email probe.
Daily Mail UK reported:
The Justice Department’s office of
inspector general is said to be probing
former Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s
role in the FBI’s investigation of Hillary
Clinton’s handling of emails as Secretary of
State.
The DoJ watchdog’s probe was revealed
Saturday by House oversight committee
chairman Jason Chaffetz in an interview

 Ex-Secret Service Agent Drops Cryptic Tweet About
Hillary Clinton ‘Gatekeeper’ Philippe Reines
By Joshua Caplan
February 12, 2018, 7:05 Pm
Did former Secret Service agent Dan
Bongino just drop a clue about who is
next to be implicated in the Steele
dossier saga?
“@PhilippeReines is a police-state
supporting hack and a disgrace, even by
liberal standards,” tweeted Bongino.
“Someone should ask @PhilippeReines
about Beacon,” added Bongino.
The conservative podcaster could be referring to Beacon
Global Strategies LLC, the consulting firm longtime
Clinton aide Philippe Reines co-founded in 2013. Reines
recently left the firm to battle full-time against President
Trump’s agenda.
POLITICO reported:
393
Hillary Clinton’s longtime gatekeeper
Philippe Reines is no longer just a
freelancing critic of the Trump
administration: he has quit his day job to
devote himself full-time to excoriating the
president and his top aides.
Reines left the consulting firm he co-founded four years
ago, Beacon Global Strategies, on Sept. 5 – one week
before the release of Clinton’s campaign memoir, “What
Happened” – to turn full-time “resistance,” a word he says
he hates.
Since leaving government in 2013, when Reines co-
founded Beacon Global Strategies, he has remained a key
member of Clinton’s innermost circle of confidantes.
During last year’s campaign, he stepped in to play
Trump during mock debate prep sessions opposite his old
boss but remained firmly behind the scenes.
Reines recently claimed on Fox News that it was “crazy,”
to believe former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal was one
of Christopher Steele’s sources for his anti-Trump dossier.
“Blumenthal worked as a White House aide
for Bill Clinton, and later worked with the
Clinton Foundation after being denied a
role by Obama Administration officials with
then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
reports Sara Carter.
Outgoing Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC)
strongly implied to Fox News host Martha MacCallum that
Clinton confidant, Blumenthal, was a source for
Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump dossier.
394
In a letter released earlier this month, Senators Chuck
Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) suggested
Clinton contacts fed information to former British spy and
dossier author Christopher Steele. “Another connection to
the second dossier, according to several sources who spoke
to this reporter, is close friend and advisor to Hillary
Clinton, Sidney Blumenthal,” reported Sara Carter.
Carter previously reported Blumenthal was grilled by the
FBI in 2016 in connection to the Steele dossier.
 Trump BOOM: Americans Expecting Biggest Pay Raise In
Years As Govt. Runs SURPLUS In
First Month Of Tax Cuts
Posted On February 13, 2018
(National Sentinel) Good Times: In the first full month
after President Donald J. Trump and congressional
Republicans passed historic tax cuts, Americans are
confident that 2018 will be a banner year in terms of wage
growth.
As reported by Bloomberg Businessweek, Americans are
expressing more optimism about wage growth than they
have in years. Consumers expect earnings to jump some
2.73 percent in 2018, the most since data collection began
in 2013, according to a New York Fed survey released
Monday and conducting in January.
Last month was just the third in the survey’s 56-month
history in which wage-growth expectations surpassed
consumer price inflation, which fell slightly to 2.71
percent.
Meanwhile, the tax cuts are also having another not-
wholly-unexpected impact: The federal government ran a
surplus in January, having collected more in taxes than it
spent.
.
395
As CNS News reported,
“the Treasury collected approximately
$361,038,000,000 in total tax revenues and
spent a total of approximately
$311,802,000,000 to run a surplus of
approximately $49,236,000,000.”
And while the government is on track as of now to run a
deficit this year of about $175.7 billion, that could change
if tax revenues rise from additional economic activity
brought on by consumers having additional disposable
income to spend.
Also, Bloomberg Markets reported that an increased
number of small businesses in the U.S. believe that now is
a good time to expand, which will mean more jobs:
Six of the 10 components that make up the
small-business optimism index increased in
January, producing one of the strongest
readings in the 45-year history of the
survey. The figures show sustained, sturdy
business sentiment since the November
2016 election. A measure of plans to boost
capital spending in coming months
increased by 2 points to 29 percent,
consistent with other data indicating robust
outlays for equipment. One in five small
companies said they plan to boost hiring,
unchanged from the prior month, as finding
qualified workers remains problematic and
underscores a tight job market.
Tighter job markets tend to translate into higher wages as
employers compete for quality workers.

Fearless warrior Sarah Huckabee

“Are high level aides allowed to work with

Sarah Sanders explained to the reporter the FBI and
Intelligence community determine who gets a security
clearance; the White House doesn’t decide.
The liberal reporter pushed back asking Sarah Sanders if
she could guarantee the White House is protecting
classified information from someone like Rob Porter, who
doesn’t have a permanent security clearance.

At this point Sarah Sanders unleashed on the liberal press

Catherine Herridge of FOX News reported:

“Why would she make that kind of claim
about the president and his instructions
that they follow standard procedure when
now all the evidence suggests that
standard procedures were not followed in
this case… It goes to the question to the
extent to which the past administration was

Remember this was an investigation that
was so closely held that it was not briefed
to the senior congressional leadership

Napolitano: Via After the Bell:
“This is probably an effort by Susan Rice
to reconstruct history to make Barack
Obama appear as though he was ignorant
of the fray fomented by his administration

 PAPER: Former FBI Agent & Obama Cybersecurity
Official On ‘Secret Mission’ To Verify Junk Steele Dossier
By Joshua Caplan
February 12, 2018, 8:44 Pm
A year after BuzzFeed published the
now discredited Steele dossier, the
news outlet that got its start churning
out zany listicles, is on a ‘secret
mission,’ to verify it.
Zerohedge reports:
BuzzFeed has been paying a former top
FBI and White House cybersecurity
official to traverse the globe for the past
six months on a secret mission to
corroborate various claims in the
Trump-Russia dossier assembled by ex-
UK Spy Christopher Steele. Steele was
commissioned by Fusion GPS, whose
efforts were funded in large part by Hillary
Clinton and the DNC – and then used by
the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on
a Trump campaign adviser and those he
communicated with.
The probe, commissioned by Buzzfeed – which published
the Steele dossier on January 11, 2017 – is being
conducted by Anthony Ferrante – formerly the FBI’s top
official in charge of “cyber incident response” at the U.S.
National Security Council under the Obama
administration. Ferrante is leading the investigation from
his new employer, D.C.-based business advisory firm,
400
Forensic Technologies International (FTI) consulting
reports Foreign Policy.
At FTI, Ferrante launched what’s now been a months-long
stealth effort chasing down documents and conducting
interviews on the ground in various countries around the
world.
His team directed BuzzFeed lawyers to
subpoena specific data and testimony
from dozens of agencies or companies
across the country and assembled a
cyber ops war room to analyze that
data, according to sources familiar with the
work.
BuzzFeed’s ‘secret mission,’ might be a difficult one to
pull off since Steele told a UK court that the dossier
contains “limited intelligence.”
Steele also admitted part of “his final December memo,”
was unvetted.
“Such intelligence was not actively sought;
it was merely received,” Steele added.
The dossier contains explosive, but unverified, opposition
research that alleges intel ties between Russia and Trump
and also claims Russia holds blackmail material over
Trump.
In a letter released last Monday, Senators Chuck
Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) say Steele
penned a separate memo on then-candidate Donald Trump,
based on information given to him by a Hillary Clinton
contact and unnamed Obama State Department official.
According to Fox News’ Ed Henry, the memo
suggests Steele misrepresented his findings to the FBI.
“The Grassley memo tonight now goes on
to say that in fact the FBI then went back
after learning that Christopher Steele
misrepresented things and did talk to the
media–the FBI never disclosed that to the
FISA court and kept going back for
 renewals of the surveillance warrant and
didn’t say to the court look things have
changed, we no longer think he’s reliable–
he lied to us and spoke to the media,”
reported Henry.
401
The Senate Judiciary Committee’s criminal referral of
Steele states the former British intelligence agent misled
the bureau about his connections to Yahoo News and
Mother Jones, despite initially claiming he had no contact
with the media.
 Washington Post, CNN, NPR, PBS All
Praise Murderous North Korea And
Its Slave State Leaders
By Mike Adams
Monday, February 12, 2018
Remember how I said that the Washington Post is a
traitorous, anti-American, propaganda-laced “journo-
terrorism” organization? Their coverage of the Olympics
proves it, as WashPost joins NPR, ABC, NBC, CNN, the
NYT and other left-wing propaganda rags in praising the
murderous North Korean regime.
You know why they praise North Korea? Because that’s
the kind of totalitarian society they want in the United
States, run by radical left-wing tyrants like Hillary Clinton
or Barack Obama. These are the same lying, left-wing
propaganda rags that routinely attack the Constitution, the
American flag, America’s founders, U.S. military veterans,
Democracy and President Trump. But they praise North
Korea’s murderous regime which relies on state-run
media mind control over its population to remain in
power.
As Truth Revolt points out:
The American news media are so
consumed by hatred of their mortal foe
Donald Trump that they turn a blind eye to
the evil lunatic behind quite possibly the
world’s most brutal regime, a man who has
threatened to rain nuclear weapons down
on America, and instead hype its presence
at the Olympics as a diplomatic success.
The left-dominated media would rather
chastise Trump for standing up to Kim,
because the left’s instinct is Blame America
402
First, and because the left refuses to
recognize totalitarian evil.
Why are none of us surprised that the discredited
Washington Post would praise a murderous, dictatorial
regime kept in power by media propaganda? That’s the
only way Leftists can stay in power: By censoring the truth
and brainwashing the people into believing that misery,
destitution, corruption and tyranny are all “utopia.” (See
my related article Believing in “progressivism” requires
the complete abandonment of reality, logic, science and
reason…)
Breitbart.com’s John Nolte nails the rest of this story in his
own article entitled 15 Media Outlets That Colluded
With North Korea To Romanticize Their Slave State:
Now that normal Americans have completely written
off the disgraced institution of the American media,
these amoral news outlets have been forced to pander
to the only audience they have left — the far-left.
This is why, over the weekend, we witnessed almost
every major news outlet prostitute itself to offer North
Korea’s Hitler the kind of positive press coverage
President Trump would never receive, even if he
rescued our economy and decimated the Islamic State
(oh, wait, he did).
Yep, over the weekend, CNN, the New York Times,
the Washington Post, NPR, ABC, NBC, PBS, even the
Wall Street Journal… these big media outlets (and
more) colluded with murderous North Korean tyrants
to normalize their slave state, to romanticize a
murderous regime that comes complete with
concentration camps, public executions in the
thousands, and actual slaves.
Yep, over the weekend, the same media outlets that
see only evil in Trump’s every utterance, colluded with
a North Korea that regularly threatens our nuclear
annihilation (and is aggressively seeking the means to
do so), that starves and tortures its own people by the
 millions, and is in reality a massive prison camp
disguised as a country.
Oh, and North Korea kills Americans … slowly … they
die soon after they are returned home.
No one should have to explain to anyone with
anything approaching moral literacy why there is no
difference between North Korea and the Nazis —
except for the tragic fact that communist North Korea
has existed about 50 years longer than the socialist
Third Reich.
More than anything else, though, in order to sustain
their statist terror, what these murderous regimes
count on is propaganda, and not just internal
propaganda, but the complicity of western media
outlets to put a shiny, happy face on their gangsterism
— to normalize, even glamorize them.
Throughout our own history, the American media have
all-too often done exactly that. Monstrous tyrants such
as Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Mao
Tse-tung, Yasser Arafat, and Ho Chi Minh, have all
enjoyed rock star coverage from our media.
403
Driven by the statist impulses that animate too many
on the political left, and their own seething hatred for
everyone on the political right, our media has always
been willing to idealize and homogenize the enemy of
their enemy (conservatives) — even if that enemy
engages in mass-slaughter and refuses even basic
humans rights to billions.
What you will see below is 100 percent real. Because
this stuff is so shocking and amoral, we double-
checked to ensure no forgeries slipped through. Oddly
enough, there are plenty of forgeries flying around on
social media, but none of that satire could top the
grotesquerie of our media’s actual propaganda in
favor of North Korea.
As you will also see below, much of the media’s
collusion with North Korean is driven by this disgraced
institution’s uncontrollable hatred of President Trump,
his daughter Ivanka, Vice President Pence, and
America itself.
Finally, keep in mind that King Jong Un’s sister runs
concentrations camp, that those North Korean
cheerleaders are all slaves, and that this is exactly the
kind of coverage this evil regime was hoping for…

 Here’s Proof That The Democrats Are HELPING Russia
Undermine Our Political System And National Security
Just To “Get Trump”
By JD Heyes
Monday, February 12, 2018
I’ve not been a big fan of The New York Times’ coverage
of President Donald J. Trump because I feel like the paper
has gone out of its way to portray him in as negative a light
as possible, even to the extent of publishing no small
amount of fake news regarding the president and his
administration.
But on Saturday the Times published one of the most
balanced reports involving the president and the subject of
Russian espionage that I’ve seen in quite some time. And
in doing so, the paper made it clear that the Democrats’
never-ending narrative that Trump “colluded with Russia”
to “steal the election” from Hillary Clinton is not only
undermining his presidency putting our national security at
risk.
The Times reported that U.S. intelligence agents spent
several months last year cultivating a Russian source who
claimed he had in his possession stolen cyberweapons
developed by the National Security Agency for use in
penetrating Russian, Chinese, Iranian, North Korean and
other countries’ strategic computer systems. Following a
15-month investigation, NSA officials said they believe
that Russia was behind the theft.
After some months, U.S. spies were essentially bilked out
of $100,000 by the shadowy Russian figure who not only
promised the stolen NSA cyber weapons but
407
“also…compromising material on President
Trump, according to American and
European intelligence officials.”
(Related: Russian operative CASHED IN with US spy
agencies; $100K payday after promises to deliver
cyberweapons and TRUMP DIRT.)
At this point, I was tempted to stop reading the story
because I thought,
“Here we go again; the same ‘trumped’ up
‘Russian collusion’ charges but with a new
twist.”
But I was in for a surprise.
The Times noted that the Russian figure was paid his first
$100,000 stipend in a Berlin hotel room in September
2017; I say “first” because the deal was worth $1 million,
provided he actually possessed and then turned over the
cyber weapons.
The paper also noted this very early in the story:
Several American intelligence officials said
they made clear that they did not want the
Trump material from the Russian, who was
suspected of having murky ties to Russian
intelligence and to Eastern European
cybercriminals. He claimed the information
would link the president and his associates
to Russia. Instead of providing the hacking
tools, the Russian produced unverified and
possibly fabricated information involving
Mr. Trump and others, including bank
records, emails and purported Russian
intelligence data.
Fair enough. But then, in the very next paragraph, the
Times reported:
The United States intelligence officials said
they cut off the deal because they were
 wary of being entangled in a Russian
operation to create discord inside the
American government. They were also
fearful of political fallout in Washington
if they were seen to be buying scurrilous
information on the president.
There’s more. Later in the story the Times detailed some of
the alleged “evidence” the Russian operative said he had,
noting each time that a) U.S. intelligence officials did not
believe it to be valid; and b) that they were highly
suspicious of the “evidence” in the first place, based in no
small part on the fact that nothing could be verified and
they were more interested by far in retrieving the stolen
cyber weapons.
But here’s where it gets interesting. The Times then

 #Russiagate: The Second Time As Farce... Or Tragedy?
By Roger L Simon
February 12, 2018
The more we learn about #Russiagate, or what we might
now call #Dossiergate, the more the whole affair comes to
resemble a Ken Kesey novel.
Indeed, the more one considers all the players in this
unbelievably bizarre saga, including Sid "Vicious"
Blumenthal, Cody "The Hatchet" Shearer, James
"Reinhold Niebuhr" Comey, text-messaging "Pyramus"
Peter Strzok and "Thisbe" Lisa Page, Andrew "The
Vanisher" McCabe, Mark "Big Leaks" Warner,
Christopher "Get Smart" Steele, Adam "Mendacity"
Schiff, and Bruce and Nellie "Ratched" Ohr, not to
mention the half-dozen or so other nameless people who
mysteriously disappeared from the DOJ in recent days, the
more it seems the only sane person in the entire demented
charade -- taking the Randle Patrick McMurphy (Jack
Nicholson) role in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" --
is Devin Nunes.
Want to know why there are so many redactions in all
those FBI/DOJ documents, the ones whose contents you
can't make heads or tails of while the indelible ink spills
off the pages and stains your best flokati rug black
forever? It's only 1% security but 99% humiliation.
Forget "sources and methods." They are so ashamed of
themselves they don't dare tell the truth. They should put a
shroud over the Hoover Building and do penance until the
next millennium. It's that embarrassing. (And maybe they
should change the name of the building while they're at it.
No more Robert E. Lee? No more J. Edgar Hoover. Fair's
fair.)
Consider the latest entry in this ship of fools. We learn
today from Lee Smith -- who is actually doing some
journalistic work, as opposed to the NYT, WaPo, and all
the networks squared -- of a fellow named Adam
Waldman.
A release last week of texts showed that
Christopher Steele, the former British spy
whose memos regarding the Trump
campaign’s possible ties to Russia are
referred to as the Steele dossier, reached
out to Sen. Mark Warner, the ranking
Democratic member of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, through a Russian-
linked Washington, D.C., lobbyist named
Adam Waldman. Among Waldman’s clients
is Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum
magnate with close ties to Russian
410
President Vladimir Putin. In a text dated
Mar. 16, 2017, Waldman texted Warner,
“Chris Steele asked me to call you.”
In 2009, Waldman filed papers with the
Department of Justice under the Foreign
Agents Registration Act (FARA) registering
himself as an agent for Deripaska in order
to provide “legal advice on issues involving
his U.S. visa as well as commercial
transactions” at a retainer of $40,000 a
month. In 2010, Waldman additionally
registered as an agent for Russian foreign
minister Sergei Lavrov, “gathering
information and providing advice and
analysis as it relates to the U.S. policy
towards the visa status of Oleg Deripaska,”
including meetings with U.S.
policymakers. Based on the information in
his FARA filings, Waldman has received at
least $2.36 million for his work with
Deripaska.
As the man said,
"When they say it's not about the money,
it's about the money." But that's not all we
know of Waldman. He also has close ties
to, wait for it, Cher. And his wife, a former
girlfriend of George Hamilton's before she
left him for Waldman, is in the "blood as
makeup" business. (I know -- it sounds like
a joke but it isn't.) From the New York Post
Nov. 15, 2016 - "The hottest new beauty
trend is your blood":
Still, the results are enough to keep Sturm’s [Mrs.
Waldman's] global clients, who include Hollywood
producers, models and actors, flying to Germany to have
their blood drawn, as well as for more traditional facials
and injections.
“They come [to Europe] and combine it with
a bike tour through France or a boat in
Capri,” Sturm says. “Lots of celebrities are
posting about it.”
Cher, for instance, is a close personal friend — Sturm and
her husband were married at the singer’s house — and a
massive fan of the MC1 cream and Sturm’s pricey line of
additional products. Huntington-Whiteley and fiancé
Statham use the cream, as well as Sturm’s entire line of
products, which includes anti-inflammatory, anti-aging,
blood-free products such as serums ($350) and face creams
($215). Huntington-Whiteley regularly Instagrams and
Snapchats her routine.
Sturm’s Hollywood prevalence is partly thanks to her
husband, Adam Waldman, a lawyer who counts Brad Pitt
and Angelina Jolie as clients, and who has turned his
contacts into Sturm customers. “All of them” are fans of
the cream and the line, he tells The Post.
Yes, this seems like a live version of Marx's famous
remark about history repeating itself "the second time as
farce." But the problem is it's on the edge of reverting to
tragedy. It's the Eighteenth Brumaire in reverse. So many
people are on the brink of being humiliated -- the
Democratic Party, the Department of Justice, the FBI and,
most of all, the mainstream media -- that they will not take
it even close to lying down and certainly not with a laugh.
Not a single one of them appears to have anything close to
the self-knowledge required or the faintest sense of humor.
They're going to fight to the bitter end -- all of ours.
411
And now it seems that Michael Flynn, the one supposed
"admitted" liar actually in the Trump administration, may
have been hung out to dry by Mueller. After all this time,
we're learning maybe Flynn didn't lie after all. How much
more creepy can it get?
We are closer than we have been in our country to an all-
out cultural civil war. In fact, we're already living in one.
Let's pray it doesn't escalate even more. The entire
nauseating, disingenuous Russia investigation, instigated
from the start by sleazy hypocrites who had been
appeasing the Soviet Union and then Russia itself for
decades, is one of the great disgraces of American history.
It is partisanship at the level of mental illness and has
nothing whatsoever to do with what it purports to be about.
Russia has been up to mischief since the czars' Okhrana
and anyone with an IQ in the proverbial triple digits knows
that. This investigation was about hate and vengeance
against fellow Americans, smearing your opponent by any
means necessary, not Russkies, and it has created more
divisiveness than anything since the actual Civil War. But
in this instance, I am more skeptical that it can be repaired.

Tom Fitton joined Sean Hannity tonight
to discuss Barack Obama’s knowledge
of the junk Russian dossier that was
used to spy on the Trump Campaign
and Trump Transition Team.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck
Grassley uncovered an unusual
email former National Security Advisor
Susan Rice sent herself on January 20th
2017–Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day.
Rice wrote the email to herself on her last day in office to
document a January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting
between President Obama, former FBI Director James
Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Sally
Yates regarding the spying operation on Donald Trump.
Democrats are eventually going to have their memo come
out. Why is it we’re relying on our summary document?
Let’s get the underlying information. I know Nunes is
asking for it. We’ve sued in court for it. And I’ve told the
White House that they should take this approach of
extreme transparency on this Russiagate. It does nothing to
protect the president from this solicit activity against him.
And it protects people like Barack Obama and the Justice
Department and FBI that was misused to target President
Trump…
The dossier is central to the collusion
theory. It’s collapsing and if it was
central to the Russian collusion theory.
We have reports today, quickly Sean,
Barack Obama was given the dossier.
He was given the dossier. What did he
know and why hasn’t he been
questioned about it?
Via Hannity:

The Obama administration used dirty FISA warrants based

on DNC opposition research to spy on the Republican
candidate and his entire team during the 2016 election and
transition period.

The opposition research dossier was a crazy document

based on complete lies fed to the DNC by Russian spies.
And the Obama administration were all in on this criminal
activity.

Left-Wing Media Refuses To Cover FBI / FISA Corruption
Scandal; Instead Tries To Recycle Nearly Year-Old “Russia
Collusion” Story As “Breaking News”
By Jayson Veley
Monday, February 12, 2018
The second that President Trump won the election,
conservatives across the country knew that the liberals
were going to do whatever they could to take him down.
This was to be expected, because that’s just how liberals
are – if they don’t get their way, then they whine and
complain until they do. What we didn’t expect, though, is
how repetitive and downright pathetic the liberals would
be in their resistance movement.
Earlier this month, NBC News interviewed Obama era
Department of Homeland Security cybersecurity chief
Jeanette Manfra, and then proceeded to publish a
“BREAKING” news story on something that was already
covered eight months ago. To make matters worse, not
only was this “breaking news” already covered, but it was
and continues to be rather insignificant.
“We saw a targeting of 21 states and an
exceptionally small number of them were
actually successfully penetrated,” explained
Manfra to NBC’s Cynthia McFadden,
adding that she had “no doubt” that the
Russian government interfered. NBC News
came up with a headline to go along with
this “shocking” and “groundbreaking” news
– “Russians Penetrated U.S. Voter
Systems, Says Top U.C. Official” – and
then tweeted the following:
413
“BREAKING: U.S. official in charge of
protecting American elections from hacking
tells NBC News that Russians successfully
penetrated voter resignation rolls of several
U.S. states prior to 2016 presidential
election.”
The problem here isn’t that the report is false, because it’s
not – we’ve known for quite some time now that the
Russians did interfere in the 2016 election, even though
there is still no evidence of collusion. Rather, the problem
is that NBC News, which prides itself on being a
professional and up-to-the-minute news organization,
recycled a news story that is almost a year old just so they
could take a shot at Donald Trump. Even though the
headline itself didn’t specifically mention the president by
name, it’s obvious that NBC News revived this story to
imply that Trump and his team worked closely with the
Russian regime to defeat Hillary Clinton last November.
But in the case of the liberal media, it’s not just what they
do report on that’s the problem; it’s also what they don’t.
For example, while NBC News was busy covering this
“bombshell story” that most Americans first heard eight
months ago, the media refuses to give any attention to the
ongoing FBI scandal, which some are considering to be the
biggest scandal in modern American history.
As Sean Hannity explained in an article published on Fox
News earlier this week,
“Senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey
Graham have released a heavily redacted,
yet very revealing copy of their criminal
referral against ex-British spy Christopher
Steele,”
who of course is the author of the phony anti-Trump
dossier that was released just weeks before the election.
(Related: Following the release of the FISA memo, John
McCain claims that “we are helping Putin.”)
Hannity went on to explain that, according to Grassley and
Graham,
 “Steele was being fed information directly
from the Obama State Department and
from Clinton allies as well as his usual,
sketchy Russian sources”
while working on a second dossier for Fusion GPS,
Clinton’s opposition research firm. Essentially, this means
that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and their allies were
working with a foreign spy, Christopher Steele, to discredit
and ultimately take down then-candidate Donald Trump.
This is what real news looks like, and this
is information that the American people
need to hear.

state conspiracy to keep Donald Trump out of the White

Perhaps NBC News should take a page or two from Fox
News’ playbook, and while they’re at it, stop acting like
radical, anti-Trump activists instead of journalists for a
well-established news organization. Read more news

 Breaking: The Memo-Related DOJ
Rats Are Beginning To Jump Ship To Avoid Prosecution
By Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show
February 13, 2018
Rachel Brand, the Associate Attorney General at the
Department of Justice Department, is stepping down after
nine months on the job, the NYT reports. Brand was hired
in her position at the DJ in May 2017. After only nine
months on the job, Brand was seen as Deputy Attorney
General Rod Rosenstein’s successor. has abruptly resigned
and is leaving her role for a position as general counsel at
Walmart.
This is an earth-shattering development that, as of this
date, is getting absolutely no attention. However, this is
potentially the break in the log jam which has prevented
President Trump from prosecuting the people behind the
phony and criminal Russian Dossier as well the illegally
obtained FISA memos.
The Significance of the Following
Cannot Be Overstated
We already know that Rosenstein is overseeing Robert
Mueller’s investigation of the Russian-Collusion-Delusion
with regard to President Trump’s alleged participation of
Russian interference in the 2016 election. President Trump
has, from the beginning of the investigation, had referred
to the investigation a “witch hunt” and has considered
terminating Rosenstein. from his DOJ position. At the
DOJ, Brand directly reported to Rosenstein and Attorney
General Jeff Sessions who had previously recused himself
for mysterious reasons which have never been made clear.
This is one of the reasons I have demanded the Sessions
step down because he is an impediment to any
investigation into DOJ personnel wrongdoing.
As the third ranking member of the DOJ, and someone
who reported directly to Rosenstein and Sessions, Brand
was responsible for gathering so-called “evidence” against
Trump for his meddling with Russians in the 2016
election. Now, for the bombshell. Brand had been assisting
in an extension of the National Security Agency’s
warrantless surveillance program, this would be FISA, as
in the exposed FISA surveillance program launched by
Obama against the Trump campaign. This action was
highly criminal and Bland has her hands dirty.
As contextual background, the memo’s contents and
significance can be reviewed at the following:
416
1. The implications.
2. Clinton Foundation implications.
3. Hillary’s financial involvement with the Russians.
4. Mike Adams weighs in.
And there are literally thousands of accounts that implicate
present and past FBI and DOJ officials in criminal
wrongdoing with regard to the illegal FISA warrant
connected to the Memos.
And now, Rachel Brand, as the number three person in the
DOJ, jumps ship just nine months after being hired. Why
did Bland resign now? This will all be made clear after
reading the following paragraphs.
Can Rachel Bland Take the Fifth
Amendment with Regard to the FISA
Memo at the DOJ?
Before all the DOJ rats jump off the ship because they
know they are facing Congressional scrutiny and possible
indictments over the release of the memos associated with
the FISA memos, we need to consider how these potential
criminals will attempt to escape justice.
The central question that needs to be asked is if federal
employees can invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-
incrimination while under a federal investigation? To
answer that question, is both yes and no. But we first need
to revisit a couple of past Obama-related controversies
regarding federal investigations into federal employees for
alleged malfeasance of office and criminal wrongdoing
before drawing the correct conclusions.
The first case involved the Internal Revenue Service’s
former head, Lois Lerner who was accused of using her
position with the IRS to target members associated with
various Tea Party groups with prejudical IRS scrutiny
allegedly performed because of the Tea Party members
political activities which ran in opposition to the Obama
administration. Lois Lerner was subpoened to testify in
front a congressional review and Lois Lerner refused to
answer relevant questions related to the charge. Lois
Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment rights to remain
silent before an abbreviated hearing of the House
Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Did Lerner, back in 2013, as a federal employee, have a
right to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights while under
Congressional investigation? The answer, again, is both
yes and no. John Mahoney, who served as a partner in
Tully Rinckey PLLC who stated,
“…If a crime likely occurred and Ms.
Lerner has any potential criminal
exposure, then she has every right to
exercise her Fifth Amendment rights to
remain silent, unless she is granted
what is called ‘use immunity’ from such
prosecution by Justice based on her
testimony.
In other words, if Lerner committed a crime, was an
accessory to a crime, or engaged in obstruction of justice,
she could be offered immunity for her testimony. This
testimony would no doubt be used to reel in a bigger fish
(ie criminal) and this is the classic example of turning
state’s evidence. In this case, Lerner would not have been
allowed to invoke her right to avoid self-incrimination.
Representative Issa tried to compel Lerner’s testimony,
possibly in exchange for a grant of immunity, but his
efforts fell short. From all indications, Lerner was guilty as
sin in the abuse of power that she was accused of. Lerner
refused to cooperate. Congress had the goods on her,
however, the DOJ was under the control of the hard line
Democrats and then Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. The
probability of a criminal conviction forcing a plea deal in
this time frame, were slim and none and slim had already
left town. Therefore, Lerner was within her right to invoke
the right against self-incrimination.
The Washington Post reported the following resolution to
this case:
The House of Representatives voted
Wednesday to hold a former Internal
Revenue Service official in contempt of
Congress for refusing to cooperate with an
ongoing investigation into the agency’s
special targeting of groups with “tea party”
or “patriot” in their names that were seeking
tax-exempt status.
On a 231 to 187 vote, the House
approved a contempt citation against Lois
G. Lerner, whose admission last year that
the tax-enforcement agency had targeted
conservative groups infuriated lawmakers
in both parties, led to an overhaul of the
IRS and Lerner’s eventual retirement from
government service.
417
A very similar case, involving former Attorney General
Eric Holder over the Fast and Furious allegations that
Holder directed the sales of American arms to Mexican
drug cartels in an effort to impugn the Second
Amendment. These transactions resulted in Holder being
given a Contempt of Congress citation, just like
Lerner. Unfortunately, no criminal charges were ever filed
in either case because of the reasons listed above. But had
either case happened under a Republican controlled
Congress and with an Attorney General worth his/her salt,
both parties would have gone to prison.
Connecting the Dots
There are a number of items that jump off the pages which
are highly volatile to say the least. The continued criminal
enterprise known as the Obama administration is on full
display in this article and I did not even bring up Beghazi
would have been the third leg in this investigation.
It is abundantly clear, that President Trump’s anticipated
second Special Prosecutor is going to be launching a
criminal probe into the DOJ. At the hub of this
investigation would be Sessions, Rosenstein and Bland, the
three top dogs in the DOJ. We now can safely assume that
the reason that Sessions recused himself is because he
feared this impending investigation would come and this
would give him plausible deniability to any wrongdoing,
or more to the point, his participation in any obstruction of
justice charges.
Rosenstein is the central link to Special Prosecutor, Robert
Mueller, in the now-proven phony Russian-Collusion-
Delusion investigation. All the evidence from the “memo”
had to flow through Rosenstein to get to Mueller. One
could resonably assume that Rosenstein is guilty of
obstruction. If he even suspected the fabricated evidence
against Trump was not true, he had a fiduciary duty to
report this to Sessions. Sessions, because he recused
himself from this case, would have referred this to his
supervisor, the President of the United States. Sessions
successfully insulated himself from prosecution because he
had the sense to see where this was potentially headed
when he recused himself. Rosenstein is holding the bag
and is in very big trouble. As as aside message to Attorney
General Jeff Sessions who called and screamed at former
Clinton operative, Larry Nichols, and falsely accused him
of leaking sensitive information about himself to me, I
answer that is not true. Mr. Nichols did not provide me
with any relevant information in this case. However, Mr.
Sessions, there were those who did speak to me off the
record and pointed me in key directions which yielded
information in this case. Larry Nichols was not one of
these sources. Regardless, Mr. Attorney General, your
days are numbered as the AG, as all of these facts are
going to be exposed.

 FBI Scandal Unraveling:
Susan Rice Email From Inauguration Day
Is ‘Disturbing’
Mac Slavo
February 13th, 2018
As if rational-minded humans needed any other evidence
that the “Russian collusion” narrative was fabricated, a
disturbing email from Susan Rice has surfaced, adding fuel
to that fire. Rice was Barack Obama’s ambassador to the
United Nations and is most known for her lying in the
aftermath of the Benghazi scandal.
Rice has been neck deep in several scandals, including the
“unmasking” ordeal that unfolded shortly after Donald
Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Senator
Lindsey Graham has now described one of Rice’s newly
discovered emails as “disturbing,” flinging her head first
into the invented Russian collusion scandal.
The recently revealed Inauguration Day
email from Susan Rice detailed former
President Barack Obama’s guidance at a
high-level meeting about how law
enforcement should investigate Russian
interference in the 2016 election.
According to Fox News, the email first surfaced Monday,
when Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck
Grassley, R-Iowa, and Graham, R-S.C., sent the Obama
national security adviser a letter, pressing for answers
about the email by next week.
“She’s sending herself an email talking
about a conversation on January 5 with
421
the president, reassuring herself, and I
guess the president, that this would be
done by the book,”
Graham said Monday night on Fox News’ The Story with
Martha MacCallum.
“I think that’s odd and disturbing because
we know the investigation regarding the
Trump campaign was anything but by the
book.”
Rice’s email, which she sent to herself on January 20,
2017, seemed to document a January 5, 2017, meeting in
the Oval Office with Obama, then-Vice President Joe
Biden, former FBI Director James Comey, then-Deputy
Attorney General Sally Yates, and herself.
In writing to Rice, Grassley and Graham said,
“It strikes us odd that, among your activities
in the final moments on the final day of the
Obama administration, you would feel the
need to send yourself such an unusual
email purporting to document a
conversation involving President Obama
and his interactions with the FBI regarding
the Trump/Russia investigation.” The two
senators also noted that while Rice said
that Obama instructed Comey to proceed
‘by the book,’ the Republicans claim that
‘substantial questions have arisen about
whether officials at the FBI, as well as the
Justice Department and the State
Department, actually did proceed “by the
book.”‘
This major scandal and subsequent mainstream media
coverup is slowly unraveling, and it seems there are few
high-powered Democrats that aren’t caught up in the
corruption.

On Monday Judge Napolitano joined Fox News host
Martha MacCallum.
During their discussion Judge Napolitano suggested the
bizarre email Obama National Security Advisor Susan
Rice sent to herself on Obama’s last day in office was done
in an effort to cover-up her former boss’s role in the plot to
sabotage President Trump.
Only one person could have told her to
write the email and she keeps falling on her
sword for him. Remember when she went
all over the networks with the crazy
narrative on Benghazi was caused by a
video? We know that’s not true.
Via FOX and Friends:

On Tuesday morning Judge Napolitano expanded on his

comments.

Judge Napolitano told FOX and Friends only one person

could have told her to write the memo and that is Barack
Obama.

 Nolte: New York Times Celebrates
Homophobe Joy Reid As Anti-Trump ‘Heroine’
By John Nolte
13 Feb 2018
Joy Reid, MSNBC’s weekend morning
anchor, won a glowing profile in
Sunday’s New York Times. The 2,000-
word hagiography portrays the rabidly
divisive and far-left partisan as a
“heroine” of the anti-Trump resistance
but mentions only in passing the 49-
year-old Reid’s indefensible history of
homophobia.
While writing for her own site a decade ago, Reid went on
a two-year, anti-gay rampage against then-Florida Gov.
Charlie Crist, who was not only a Republican at the time,
but seen as a likely presidential contender. On at least 11
occasions over two years, Reid attempted to defame and
shame Crist (who is straight) as a closeted homosexual
pretending to be straight.
In furtherance of her totally fabricated conspiracy theory,
Reid repeatedly referred to Crist as “Miss Charlie,”
portrayed his new marriage (to a woman) as a sham, and
basically used homosexuality and homophobia as a club to
humiliate and denigrate the man who would later come out
as a … Democrat.
423
Here are just a few examples.
“Miss Charlie, Miss Charlie. Stop
pretending, brother It’s okay that you don’t
go for the ladies.”
“Now that he’s married to a girl, Charlie
Crist is being sought out for all KINDS of
good stuff… [The GOP] are wooing Miss
Charlie to run.”
“Miss Charlie … would immediately start
planning the state funeral down to the last
flamingo-shaped napkin and get his
decorator to the West Wing faster than you
can say ‘George Takei!’”
“The Florida governor didn’t get tapped by
John McCain (get your mind out of the
gutter! I meant tapped to be his veep…)
and he married a rich lady anyway?”
Waaaaay at the bottom of its love letter, the far-left Times
finally brings the subject up, but only to mention that Crist
accepted her apology and that Reid now considers Crist to
be a “lovely guy.” Sure, now that he is a Democrat.
Without question, Reid’s despicable anti-
gay attacks on Crist, her attempt to use
homosexuality as a weapon to disqualify
and dehumanize him, are the worst
examples of homophobia we have ever
seen from a person currently working at a
major media outlet; this includes Alec
Baldwin.
But, just as the New York Times and the mainstream media
are willing to cuddle up to North Korea’s Hitler because he
is anti-Trump, so, too, can Reid be pardoned for
unpardonable behavior.
After all, she is the enemy of the Times’ enemy: Trump.
 Sekulow: Susan Rice Wrote Memo Because They Knew
‘Someone’ Saw Their Meeting Take Place (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
February 13, 2018, 8:34 Am
Attorney Jordan Sekulow joined Shannon Breane on
Monday night to discuss the Susan Rice memo released by
the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier in the day.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck
Grassley uncovered an unusual
email former National Security Advisor
Susan Rice sent herself on January 20th
2017–Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day.
Rice wrote the email to herself on her last day in office to
document a January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting
between President Obama, former FBI Director James
Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Sally
Yatesregarding the spying operation on Donald Trump.
The Obama administration used dirty FISA warrants based
on DNC opposition research to spy on the Republican
candidate and his entire team during the 2016 election and
transition period.
424
Jordan Sekulow:
Again, two weeks and a day later, her last
act as National Security Advisor on the day
President Trump is being inaugurated, the
minutes she has left in the White House,
she memorializes a meeting from two
weeks ago. I tend to believe Shannon, this
is my honest belief on this, is that this was
Susan Rice’s attempt to blunt someone
who either saw this meeting taking
place. It may have been someone on the
outskirts of the meeting, not a principal
but someone who attended and ultimately
this would come up. So she wanted to
memorialize it so it did not look like
something the White House under the
Obama administration was trying to hide.

 Michael Isikoff Emerges As A Key
Media Propaganda Operative For The Deep State’s
TREASON Against The United States Of America
By Jayson Veley
02/13/2018
William D. Campbell is an undercover informant working
for the FBI who was embedded in the Russian nuclear
industry for almost six years. In his recent testimony
before three Congressional committees, Campbell
explained that after several years of being debriefed by the
Central Intelligence Agency after traveling to foreign
nations, he was eventually tasked with going to specific
countries for the purpose of acquiring information, which
he would then bring back to the United States.
During his time that he spent embedded within the Russian
nuclear industry, Campbell gathered evidence regarding
two “pay for play” schemes that were directly connected to
the United States uranium industry. First, Campbell
learned that Moscow had compromised Transport
Logistics International (TLI), an American uranium
trucking firm, which was in direct violation of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act. TLI
"bribed a Russian nuclear official in
exchange for a contract transport Russian-
mined U.S. uranium," which among other
things included “yellowcake” uranium that
was secured in the now infamous Uranium
One Deal.
Second, Campbell discovered a scheme taking place
between Russian nuclear officials and the Clinton Global
Initiative, whereby millions of dollars were to be routed to
the charity through the lobbying firm ARPCO.
Additionally, ARPCO was expected to send a portion of its
annual $3 million lobbying fee to the Clinton Global
Initiative.
428
“The contract called for four payments of
$750,000 over twelve months,” Campbell
said. “APCO was expected to give
assistance free of charge to the Clinton
Global Initiative as part of their effort to
create a favorable environment to ensure
the Obama administration made affirmative
decisions on everything from Uranium One
to the U.S.-Russia Civilian Nuclear
Cooperation agreement.”
(Related: A bombshell report reveals a massive deep state
conspiracy to keep Donald Trump out of the White
House.)
After John Solomon of The Hill and Sara Carter of Circa
News reported on the evidence that Campbell was able to
collect regarding the Clinton charity and the Obama
administration, Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News published a
hit piece on Campbell, claiming that he would be a
“disaster” as a witness due to the fact that some of his
claims are not documented.
But the truth is, Michael Isikoff is nothing
but a political hack who secretly worked
with the Democratic National Committee to
obtain the FISA warrant against Carter
Page from the Trump campaign.
As the recently released memo on FISA abuse prepared by
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes
states:
“The Carter Page FISA application also
cited extensively a September 23, 2016
Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff,
which focused on Page’s July 2016 trip to
Moscow. This article does not corroborate
the Steele dossier because it is derived
from information leaked by Steele himself
to Yahoo News.”
The memo goes on to say contrary to what the Page FISA
application says, Steele did provide information to Yahoo
News in September of 2016
 “at the direction of Fusion GPS.”
If all of this information regarding the FBI and the liberals’
secret plot to take down then-candidate Donald Trump, it’s
that corruption is far more rampant within our government
than we initially thought. Many individuals within some of
the highest offices in the land are committed to working
not on the behalf of the American people, but rather for the
advancement of the progressive agenda. (Related:
Following the release of the FISA memo, John McCain
says that “we are helping Putin.”)
429
It’s also taught us a lot about the mainstream media, which
doesn’t seem to be at all interested in reporting the truth
and instead is dedicated to taking down the President of
the United States and defending the Democrat Party
against those seeking to expose them.
Only time will tell what else is going on behind closed
doors within the federal government, but one thing we do
know for sure is that it’s bound to get a lot worse before it
gets better.

 MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough Crazily Cites
Harry Potter To Mock Ron Johnson
Nick Givas - Media And Politics Reporter
12:20 PM 02/13/2018
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough made a bizarre reference to
Harry Potter on “Morning Joe” Tuesday, and turned the
segment into another highly awkward moment.
After a clip ran of GOP Sen. Ron Johnson discussing the
latest FBI scandal, the camera cut to Scarborough and he
felt inspired to cite a fantasy novel.
“Harry Potter! It’s a Harry Potter secret
society. Ron and Hermoine and Harry
would go meet off-site with their secret
society,” Scarborough said.
He then assumed a high pitched voice and continued the
rant.
“Hello, Harry! What is that — no, seriously,
what is that?” Scarborough said.
“He’s a mess,” co-host Mika
Brzezinski replied.

“He is a hot mess,” Scarborough shot back.
“He’s a chairman. He’s a chairman of the
Homeland Security Committee. This is a
committee, Mika, where past chairmen
would actually talk to the FBI to try to figure
out when the next terror attack was going
to be launched against the United States of
America. Now he’s going around with deep
state conspiracy theories. He’s attacking
the FBI.”
Brzezinski looked uncomfortable and began to cough and
fidget, but Scarborough kept on pushing.
“The guy that’s supposed to coordinate
with the FBI and the CIA and intel agencies
to try to figure out when the next attacks
are coming, that guy is going around
talking about secret societies,”
Scarborough said.
“He’s kookoonamuno,” Brzezinski said.

 View's Behar, Hostin Mock Pence
As ‘Dangerous’ Christian With ‘Mental Illness’
By Kristine Marsh
February 13, 2018 12:29 PM EST

Tuesday on The View, the liberal hosts displayed a sudden

respect for fired White House staffer Omarosa Manigault,
after the controversial figure took her fame to reality
television to spread malicious gossip about the Trump
White House. With the exception of Meghan McCain, the
hosts touted Omarosa’s supposed “leaks” about Vice
President Mike Pence’s “scary” Christianity on CBS’s
Celebrity Big Brother this week, as gospel-truth.
Hostin agreed as the audience clapped. “Exactly. That's
different!” she gushed.
“That's called mental illness, if I'm not
correct. Hearing voices,” Behar quipped.
Guest host Sherri Shepherd added to the mockery, saying,

“What concerns me is how long is the

conversation with Jesus...anything that’s
too much is concerning.”

Behar wasn’t done with the jokes.

“Can he talk to Mary Magdalene without his

Mid-discussion, hosts Meghan McCain and Sunny Hostin
got into a fight over what “value voters” meant and Hostin
incredulously denied being a liberal, when McCain
addressed her as such, seemingly just to make McCain
look foolish.
After playing the clip from Celebrity Big Brother, where
Omarosa trashes Pence as an “extreme Christian” who has
conversations with Jesus, the panel took turns taking shots
at the Vice President’s faith.
Hostin, who identifies as Catholic, called Pence’s
Christianity “dangerous:”
When you have a Mike Pence who now
puts this religious veneer on things and
who calls people values voters, I think
we're this a dangerous situation. Look
I'm Catholic. I'm a faithful person, but I
don’t know that I want my vice
president, um -- speaking in tongues
and having Jesus speak to him.
wife in the room?” she grinned, referencing
Pence’s admission last year that he does
not go on dinner dates with women without
his wife present.
Hostin kept trying to make the situation more dire.
“Do we want our politics served to us
with a religious veneer over it?” she
questioned, before laying into Pence for
addressing the Trump White House as a
“values-driven administration.”
Finally McCain pushed back, addressing Hostin as a
“liberal” who obviously has a different worldview than
Pence. Laughably, Hostin actually denied being a liberal,
despite her political views aligning perfectly with the
Democratic party. She smirked condescendingly as a
stunned McCain struggled to rebut Hostin’s charge:

While Joy Behar decided to mock Pence instead,

suggesting he had a “mental illness.”

“Like I said before, it's one thing to talk to

Jesus. It's another thing when Jesus talks
to you,” she warned.
432
MCCAIN: I don't know how to say this in a way that doesn't
sound disrespectful. But I understand, if you're a liberal,
obviously you have certain problems with Mike Pence.
Obviously. We see the world through very different veneers.
HOSTIN: Why am I a liberal?
MCCAIN: I just assumed you were because--
HOSTIN: That’s not a very great assumption. [smirks]
MCCAIN: There's very few things you have said on this show
that show me-- I apologize, you're conservative, I guess. I'm not
in this fight today.
After Whoopi reined in the conversation, she simply asked the
panel if they would prefer Mike Pence or Donald Trump as
president. The entire panel agreed that for different reasons they
would prefer Pence as president, even Joy Behar and Sunny
Hostin, who have previously complained on the show that Pence
was “incompetent” and “misogynistic.” Whoopi didn’t give an
opinion but has crazily claimed that Pence was like a member of
the KKK who wanted to hang her on a tree, on a previous
episode.

MEGHAN MCCAIN: I will say that the leaking that they're talking
about. Her dish is not that interesting. Mike Pence is a
conservative. She’s not actually revealing intimate secrets which
to me shows she’s trying to atone for working in the Trump White
House.
[cross-talk]
MCCAIN: Can I finish? I just think that she’s trying to get a new
job someplace. She’s trying to be accepted back in mainstream
media after working in the Trump White House. I don't think what
she's saying is that interesting.
SUNNY HOSTIN: I think what’s is interesting is she says that
Jesus tells Mike Pence things to say.
MCCAIN: When was she around Mike Pence though?
HOSTIN: Well obviously she was around him because she
knows a lot more than I think we all know about Mike Pence.
What I do know about Mike Pence, is I went to law school in
Indiana. He's a hated figure there, actually. He's not very popular
at all. When you have a Mike Pence who now puts this
433
religious veneer on things and who calls people values
voters, I think we're this a dangerous situation. Look I'm
Catholic. I'm a faithful person, but I don’t know that I want
my vice president, um -- speaking in tongues and having
Jesus speak to him.
JOY BEHAR:Like I said before, it's one thing to talk to Jesus. It's
another thing when Jesus talks to you.
HOSTIN: Exactly. That's different. [applause]
BEHAR: That's called mental illness, if I'm not correct.
Hearing voices.
SHERRI SHEPHERD: You know Joy, as a Christian, that's just
par for the course. You talk to Jesus. Jesus talks back. What
concerns me is how long is the conversation with Jesus.
HOSTIN: But Jesus is telling him to say things.
SHEPHERD: I ask Jesus for a parking spot.
BEHAR: My question is, can he talk to Mary Magdalene without
his wife in the room? [laughter]
SHEPHERD: I think when everything, you're saying Jesus is -- I
think even in the Bible, it say, do all things in moderation. So
anything that is too much is concerning.
HOSTIN: But do we want our politics served to us with a
religious veneer over it? We’re supposed to be a seperate--
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: It was a question when John Kennedy
was running. They were very, very concerned. Because he was
going to be the first Catholic president. And I remember this
because I went to Catholic school and all the nuns were talking
about it. Saying, you know, people feel that the Pope is going to
be sitting in the White House with him, guiding him. But that's not
what we do in this country. This country is made up of lots of
religions.
BEHAR: The nuns said that?
WHOOPI: Yes, the nuns said that. It's made up of lots of
religions. We all get to believe how we wish to believe. So the
president should not be concerned that you know, these people
are saying this because we know it's not so.
HOSTIN: But the other thing is, how is Mike Pence-- how is the
Trump administration a values-driven administration?
MCCAIN: He’s talking about values in a lot of times, reference to
being pro-life. I assume you said you were at one point in time on
this show--
HOSTIN: I don't see the values in the administration with Rob
Porter beating the --
MCCAIN: The political term of what it means is being-- valuing
life. That is a -- it's an old term used in politics.
HOSTIN: No, no, Meghan. That's not true. Values driven means
not only being pro-life, but means being pro-marriage. It means
being pro- having good values. Pro-compassion. Pro empathy.
So many things. It's not only about pro-life. And the bottom line
is, this administration is not a values-driven administration. You
have people beating each other's wives.
MCCAIN: I don't know how to say this in a way that doesn't
sound disrespectful. But I understand, if you're a liberal,
obviously you have certain problems with Mike Pence.
Obviously. We see the world through very different veneers.
HOSTIN: Why am I a liberal?
MCCAIN: I just assumed you were because--

MCCAIN: There's very few things you have said on this show
that show me-- I apologize, you're conservative, I guess. I'm not
in this fight today.
BEHAR: She’s a misfit. Sunny is a misfit.
SHEPHERD: It's too early.
.
434
[cross-talk]
MCCAIN: I have respect for Mike Pence. You should be very
careful about what you say about Trump because that man could
be president. I think that's what's important about what Omarosa
was saying.
BEHAR: Well that’s what Omarosa was saying. She’s sorry if
Trump gets kicked out because you’re going to be stuck with
Pence.
SHEPHERD: Also Meghan, we're looking at Omarosa on this
thing. You know she's trying to get a book. Every confession,
every tear, she cut her teeth doing reality TV show. Everything
she's saying is, this a chapter in her book. So how seriously
you're going to take that?
MCCAIN: We turned it into a discussion about the criticism of
value voters in this country. A criticism of Mike Pence and his
faith. Jesus speaking to him. You saying that. I think Jesus
speaks to me everything morning.
SHEPHERD: But here's the beauty about Jesus. We don’t have
to get mad about it because Jesus defends himself.
WHOOPI: Here's the thing. [ Applause ] I'm going to shut this
down. I think the conversation was really about opinions. That's
what the show is. And we have three comics on. And funny stuff
and weird stuff is going to happen in most people sort of get it.
We get that Omarosa is trying to make a book, let’s move on.
 'QAnon' Hints That 'Big Pharma Mafia'
Carried Out 'White Powder Attack' Upon The
Trump Family And Promises: 'Response Forthcoming'
- FLASHBACK! After 2001 Anthrax Attacks, Two US Lawmakers Called
For Investigations Into How The FBI And DOJ Handled The Case
By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die
February 13, 2018

While the lead story over at NBC News that the Drudge powder' attacks with what we now know about our FBI
Report linked to on Monday screamed out that a and DOJ being 'politically weaponized' under the Clinton
'suspicious letter' and 'white powder' event has caused administration?
President Trump's daughter-in-law Vanessa to be
hospitalized as a precaution after she opened a letter
addressed to her husband Donald Trump Jr., Susan Duclos
quickly pointed out to me that this was the 2nd time that
such a 'white powder event' has happened to the Trump
family as back in March of 2016, President Trump's
son Eric received a suspicious piece of mail containing
white powder and a threatening note demanding that his
father drop out of the presidential race.

Then, as NBC News reported on March 19th of

2016, President Trump's older sister, federal appeals court
judge Maryanne Trump Barry, received a threatening letter
- the day after Eric Trump also received the suspicious
piece of mail containing white powder. While NBC
reported there was no white powder sent to Trump's sister,
they also report that
"the threat in her letter was similar to that
given to Eric Trump, a source familiar with
the investigation said."
And while nobody will forget the series of 2001 anthrax
terror attacks that occurred within the US over several
weeks starting on September 18th of 2001 with letters
which contained anthrax spores mailed to numerous media
outlets and two Democratic U.S. Senators (Tom Daschle
and Patrick Leahy), what is largely forgotten was the fact
that both Senator Chuck Grassley and Rep. Rush
Holt called for hearings into the DOJ and FBI's
handling of the anthrax investigation after
prosecutors determined one Bruce Edward Ivins to be the
sole suspect of the attacks. Conveniently, Ivins had already
'committed suicide' (arkanicide?) and on February 19th of
2010, the FBI formally closed its investigation.
We also can't forget the series of 'white powder events'
back in both 2008 and 2012 when banks, media outlets and
politicians were also sent threatening letters appearing to
contain anthrax or some other deadly poison. And while
they were determined to be hoaxes, the October 2008
'event' involving banks came soon after the collapse of
investment bank Lehman Brothers on September 15,
2008 which helped catapult the world into a full-blown
financial crisis.
Seven Chase bank branches in Phoenix
and the New York Times headquarters
in New York received envelopes
containing a suspicious white powder
on Wednesday as a wave of threatening
U.S. mailings spread.
More than 45 threatening letters have
been received since Monday at financial
institutions in at least 11 states, FBI
spokesman Richard Kolko said.

With those events killing 5 people and infecting 17 more, “Most of the letters contain a powder
should we be looking more into those previous 'white substance with a threatening
communication,” he said. No harmful
435
 substances have yet been identified but
more tests are being conducted at
regional laboratories, he said. U.S.
authorities are always on the alert for
such letters after incidents in 2001 in
which envelopes laced with anthrax
were sent to media outlets and U.S.
lawmakers, killing five people and
further rattling a nation shaken by the
September 11 attacks. Asked if the bank
letters were sent by a single mailer,
Kolko said, “there’s certainly a common
thread.”
Was this 'white powder event' at the home of Donald
Trump Jr. a 'deep state' message to President Trump to
back away?
With the 'Clinton crime family' obviously at the head of
the deep state corruption we've been witnessing being
exposed as 'the top' of the FBI and DOJ sold their souls
away in a failed attempt to get 'satan Hillary' elected, we
also hear in the first video below from Jerome Corsi that
several Russian business executives who were involved in
the Uranium One deal were recently killed in the tragic
Russian plane crash. More names to be added to the still-
growing 'Clinton body count'?

From the 2012 'white powder event'.:

On the eve of planned May Day protests

containing white powder were sent to

 CNN Contributor: ‘Trump
Should Be Charged With Manslaughter!’
By Corinne Weaver
February 13, 2018 1:06 PM EST

The far left is ready to say anything in order to villainize “Trump May Be the Most Anti-Women US
the current administration. President Ever,” “SNL Is Wrong -- Trump
Is Far Worse Than Bush,” “Trump Owes Us
After President Donald Trump tweeted his support for Sue Money,” and “SNL is Right -- Trump’s
Kruczek, a mother who lost her son to the opioid epidemic, Chaos is Part of A Plan.” Whatever
who appeared on Fox and Friends on February 12, happened to “Facts First,” CNN?
someone wasn’t happy. Dean Obeidallah, a columnist for
CNN and the Daily Beast and a radio host on SiriusXM,
replied to Trump’s tweet with a story from Politico about
Kellyanne Conway and an angry statement blaming Trump
for the death of Sue Kruczek’s son.

Obeidallah said,

“Sadly Trump has put a GOP pollster in

charge of the fight on opioid meaning more
Americans will die because of Trump's
incompetence. Trump should be charged
with manslaughter!”

For someone who claims to be a lawyer in his Twitter bio,

Obeidallah seems to be unfamiliar with how the law
works.
But the liberal commentator is obsessed with the idea of
death. On February 13, he tweeted,
“If you like to see people on Medicare, food
stamps and Medicaid die then you will
really LOVE Donald Trump’s Nasty
Budget.”
Even though Trump’s proposed budget calls for billions to
be poured into the Department of Health and Human
Services in order to “expand prevention, treatment,
recovery and mental health services” in regards to the
opioid epidemic, somehow it’s not enough for Obeidallah.
The fact that Kellyanne Conway has some control over the
agenda means that Trump is guilty of manslaughter.
That’s a bit of a stretch for logic.

His reactionary leftist headlines, published on CNN,

 Is John Brennan The Mastermind
Behind Russiagate?
Mike Whitney
February 13, 2018
Former CIA Director John Brennan. Credit: U.S. Government
The report (“The Dossier”) that claims that Donald Trump
colluded with Russia, was paid for by the DNC and Hillary
Clinton campaign.
The company that claims that Russia hacked DNC
computer servers, was paid by the DNC and Hillary
Clinton campaign.
The FBI’s counterintelligence probe into Trump’s alleged
connections to Russia was launched on the basis of
information gathered from a report that was paid for by the
DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign.
The surveillance of a Trump campaign member (Carter
Page) was approved by a FISA court on the basis of
information from a report that was paid for by the DNC
and Hillary Clinton campaign.
The Intelligence Community Analysis or ICA was (largely
or partially) based on information from a report that was
paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign. (more
on this below)
The information that was leaked to the media alleging
Russia hacking or collusion can be traced back to claims
that were made in a report that was paid for by the DNC
and Hillary Clinton campaign.
The entire Russia-gate investigation rests on the
“unverified and salacious” information from a dossier that
was paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton Campaign.
Here’s how Stephen Cohen sums it up in a recent article at
The Nation:
“Steele’s dossier… was the foundational
document of the Russiagate narrative…from the
439
time its installments began to be leaked to the
American media in the summer of 2016, to the
US “Intelligence Community Assessment” of
January 2017….the dossier and subsequent
ICA report remain the underlying sources for
proponents of the Russiagate narrative of
“Trump-Putin collision.” (“Russia gate or Intel-
gate?”, The Nation)
There’s just one problem with Cohen’s statement, we don’t
really know the extent to which the dossier was used in the
creation of the Intelligence Community Assessment. (The
ICA was the IC’s flagship analysis that was supposed to
provide ironclad proof of Russian meddling in the 2016
elections.) According to some reports, the contribution was
significant. Check out this excerpt from an article at
Business Insider:
“Intelligence officials purposefully omitted the
dossier from the public intelligence report they
released in January about Russia’s election
interference because they didn’t want to reveal
which details they had corroborated, according
to CNN.” (“Mueller reportedly interviewed the
author of the Trump-Russia dossier — here’s
what it alleges, and how it aligned with reality”,
Business Insider)
Bottom line:
Despite the denials of former-CIA Director John
Brennan, the dossier may have been used in
the ICA.
In the last two weeks, documents have been released that
have exposed the weak underpinnings of the Russia
investigation while at the same time revealing serious
abuses by senior-level officials at the DOJ and FBI. The so
called Nunes memo was the first to point out these abuses,
but it was the 8-page “criminal referral” authored by
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley
and Senator Lindsey Graham that gave credence to the
claims. Here’s a blurb from the document:
“It appears the FBI relied on admittedly
uncorroborated information, funded by and
obtained for Secretary Clinton’s presidential
campaign, in order to conduct surveillance of an
 associate of the opposing presidential
candidate. It did so based on Mr. Steele’s
personal credibility and presumably having faith
in his process of obtaining the information. But
there is substantial evidence suggesting that
Mr. Steele materially misled the FBI about a key
aspect of his dossier efforts, one which bears
on his credibility.”
There it is. The FBI made a “concerted effort to conceal
information from the court” in order to get a warrant to spy
on a member of a rival political campaign. So –at the very
least– there was an effort, on the part of the FBI and high-
ranking officials at the Department of Justice, to
improperly spy on members of the Trump team. And
there’s more. The FBI failed to mention that the dossier
was paid for by the Hillary campaign and the DNC, or that
the dossier’s author Christopher Steele had seeded articles
in the media that were being used to support the dossier’s
credibility (before the FISA court), or that, according to
the FBI’s own analysts, the dossier was “only minimally
corroborated”, or that Steele was a ferocious partisan who
harbored a strong animus towards Trump. All of these
were omitted in the FISA application which is why the FBI
was able to deceive the judge. It’s worth noting that
intentionally deceiving a federal judge is a felony.
Most disturbing is the fact that Steele reportedly received
information from friends of Hillary Clinton. (supposedly,
Sidney Blumenthal and others) Here’s one suggestive
tidbit that appeared in the Graham-Grassley” referral:
“…Mr. Steele’s memorandum states that his
company “received this report from REDACTED
US State Department,” that the report was the
second in a series, and that the report was
information that came from a foreign sub-source
who “is in touch with REDACTED, a contact of
REDACTED, a friend of the Clintons, who
passed it to REDACTED.”
It is troubling enough that the Clinton campaign funded
Mr. Steele’s work, but that these Clinton associates were
contemporaneously feeding Mr. Steele allegations raises
additional concerns about his credibility.” (Lifted from
The Federalist)
What are we to make of this? Was Steele shaping the
dossier’s narrative to the specifications of his employers?
Was he being coached by members of the Hillary team?
How did that impact the contents of the dossier and the
subsequent Russia investigation?
These are just a few of the questions Steele will
undoubtedly be asked if he ever faces prosecution for lying
to the FBI. But, so far, we know very little about man
except that he was a former M16 agent who was paid
$160,000 for composing the dubious set of reports that
440
make up the dossier. We don’t even know if Steele’s
alleged contacts or intermediaries in Russia actually exist
or not. Some analysts think the whole thing is a fabrication
based on the fact that he hasn’t worked the Russia-scene
since the FSB (The Russian state-security organization that
replaced the KGB) was completely overhauled. Besides, it
would be extremely dangerous for a Russian to provide an
M16 agent with sensitive intelligence. And what would the
contact get in return? According to most accounts, Steele’s
sources weren’t even paid, so there was little incentive for
them to put themselves at risk? All of this casts more doubt
on the contents of the dossier.
What is known about Steele is that he has a very active
imagination and knows how to command a six-figure
payoff for his unique services. We also know that the FBI
continued to use him long after they knew he couldn’t be
trusted which suggests that he served some other purpose,
like providing the agency with plausible deniability, a ‘get
out of jail free’ card if they ever got caught surveilling US
citizens without probable cause.
But that brings us to the strange case of Carter Page, a bit-
player whose role in the Trump campaign was trivial at
best. Page was what most people would call a “small fish”,
an insignificant foreign policy advisor who had minimal
impact on the campaign. Congressional investigators, like
Nunes, must be wondering why the FBI and DOJ devoted
so much attention to someone like Page instead of going
after the “big fish” like Bannon, Flynn, Kushner, Ivanka
and Trump Jr., all of whom might have been able to
provide damaging information on the real target, Donald
Trump. Wasn’t that the idea? So why waste time on Page?
It doesn’t make any sense, unless, of course, the others
were already being surveilled by other agencies? Is that it,
did the NSA and the CIA have a hand in the surveillance
too?
It’s a moot point, isn’t it? Because now that there’s
evidence that senior-level officials at the DOJ and the FBI
were involved in improperly obtaining warrants to spy on
members of the opposite party, the investigation is going
to go wherever it goes. Whatever restrictions existed
before, will now be lifted. For example, this popped up in
Saturday’s The Hill:
“House Intelligence Committee lawmakers are
in the dark about an investigation into
wrongdoing at the State Department announced
by Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Friday.
…Nunes told Fox News on Friday that, “we are
in the middle of what I call phase two of our
investigation. That investigation is ongoing and
we continue work toward finding answers and
asking the right questions to try to get to the
bottom of what exactly the State Department
was up to in terms of this Russia
investigation.”…
Since then, GOP lawmakers have been quietly buzzing
about allegations that an Obama-era State Department
official passed along information from allies of former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that may have been used
by the FBI to launch an investigation into whether the
Trump campaign had improper contacts with Russia.
“I’m pretty troubled by what I read in the
documents with respect to the role the State
Department played in the fall of 2016, including
information that was used in a court proceeding.
I am troubled by it,” Gowdy told Fox News on
Tuesday.” (“Lawmakers in dark about ‘phase
two’ of Nunes investigation”, The Hill)
So the State Department is next in line followed by the
NSA and, finally, the Russia-gate point of origin, John
Brennan’s CIA. Here’s more background on that from
Stephen Cohen’s illuminating article at The Nation:
“….when, and by whom, was this Intel operation
against Trump started?
In testimony to the House Intelligence Committee in May
2017, John Brennan, formerly Obama’s head of the CIA,
strongly suggested that he and his agency were the first, as
The Washington Post put it at the time, “in triggering an
FBI probe.” Certainly both the Post and The New York
Times interpreted his remarks in this way. Equally certain,
Brennan played a central role in promoting the Russiagate
narrative thereafter, briefing members of Congress
privately and giving President Obama himself a top-secret
envelope in early August 2016 that almost certainly
contained Steele’s dossier. Early on, Brennan presumably
would have shared his “suspicions” and initiatives with
James Clapper, director of national intelligence. FBI
Director Comey… may have joined them actively
somewhat later….
When did Brennan begin his “investigation” of
Trump? His House testimony leaves this
somewhat unclear, but, according to a
subsequent Guardian article, by late 2015 or
early 2016 he was receiving, or soliciting,
reports from foreign intelligence agencies
regarding “suspicious ‘interactions’ between
figures connected to Trump and known or
suspected Russian agents.”
In short, if these reports and Brennan’s own
testimony are to be believed, he, not the FBI,
was the instigator and godfather of Russiagate.”
(“Russiagate or Intelgate?”, Stephen Cohen, The Nation)
Regular readers of this column know that we have always
believed that the Russiagate psyops originated with
.
441
Brennan. Just as the CIA launched its disinformation
campaigns against Saddam Hussein and Muammar
Gadhafi, so too, Russia has emerged as Washington’s
foremost rival requiring a massive propaganda campaign
to persuade the public that America faces a serious
external threat. In any event, the demonizing of Russia had
already begun by the time Hillary and Co. decided to hop
on the bandwagon by blaming Moscow for hacking John
Podesta’s emails. The allegations were never persuasive,
but they did provide Brennan with some cover for the
massive Information Operation (IO) that began with him.
According to the Washington Times:
“It was then-CIA Director John O. Brennan, a
close confidant of Mr. Obama’s, who provided
the information — what he termed the “basis” —
for the FBI to start the counterintelligence
investigation last summer….Mr. Brennan told
the House Intelligence Committee on May 23
that the intelligence community was picking up
tidbits on Trump associates making contacts
with Russians.”
It all started with Brennan. After Putin blocked Brennan’s
operations in both Ukraine and Syria, Brennan had every
reason to retaliate and to use the tools at his disposal to
demonize Putin and try to isolate Russia. The “election
meddling” charges (promoted by the Hillary people) fit
perfectly with Brennan’s overall strategy to manipulate
perceptions and prepare the country for an eventual
confrontation. It provided him the opportunity to kill two
birds with one stone, to deliver a withering blow to Putin
and Trump at the very same time. The temptation must
have been irresistible.
But now the plan has backfired and the investigations are
gaining pace. Trump’s allies in the House smell the blood
in the water and they want answers. Did the CIA surveil
members of the Trump campaign on the basis of
information they gathered in the dossier? Who saw the
information? Was the information passed along to
members of the press and other government agencies? Was
the White House involved? What role did Obama play?
What about the Intelligence Community Assessment? Was
it based on the contents of the Steele report? Will the
“hand-picked” analysts who worked on the report vouch
for its conclusions in or were they coached about what to
write? How did Brennan persuade the reluctant Comey
into opening a counterintelligence investigation on
members in the Trump campaign when he knew it would
be perceived as a partisan attempt to sabotage the elections
by giving Hillary an edge?
Soon the investigative crosshairs will settle on Brennan.
He’d better have the right answers.
 Ed Asner Jokes About
Trump's Sons Being Mauled By Lion
By Gabriel Hays
February 13, 2018 2:18 PM EST
Proverbial crazy old liberal, Ed Asner thinks he’s a real
funny guy. On Tuesday morning, Asner took to twitter to
try out an outlandish joke. He shared a recent National
Geographic report on a poacher who was devoured by
lions at a game reserve in South Africa last Friday. Not
being able to resist, the former president of the Screen
Actors’ Guild asked the twitterverse if anyone had seen
Eric or Donald Trump Jr. lately, implying that they were
the victims of the mauling. Wow, you really showed those
conservatives, you crazy old coot.
442
For those readers who are too young to know who Ed
Asner is, (which is probably most) he was a large player in
Hollywood back around the time of Charlton Heston. He
was also a fanatic liberal who loved to denounce Reagan,
was friends of high-level Sandinistas, and more recently, a
9/11 truther. He was reported to have threatened to punch
out Heston, and stated that Reagan’s economic policies
were “urinating in the mouths of workers.”
Concerning his Trump joke, of course, lefties on twitter
love this kind of thing. A little gallows humor to really
stick it to those in power, especially Donald’s sons. What
else is new? In fact, just earlier today, liberal social media
was foaming at the mouth to really stick it to Trump Jr.’s
wife, following her hospital visit. She was reported to have
gone in as a precaution after receiving an envelope
containing a suspicious white powder.
Upon Donald Trump Jr. tweeting that everything was fine,
and adding that it’s “disgusting that certain individuals
choose to express their opposing views with such
behavior,” many progressives on twitter responded with
the usual Trump-bashing bitterness.
Here is just another couple of examples of progressives’
“love trumps hate” mentality. Preach about how much
peace and diversity you want to see in the world, and then
the next minute step all over it, while at the same time
destroying any standard of human decency. Yeah, but
Trump’s comments? Those are just downright mean.
 TRUMP ATTORNEY: Susan Rice Secret Meeting With
Comey, Obama Took Place ONE DAY Before Comey
Briefed Trump On Dossier (VIDEO)
February 13, 2018, 3:05 Pm By Cristina Laila
On Monday it was announced Senate
Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley
uncovered an unusual email former
NatSec Advisor to Barack Obama,
Susan Rice sent herself on January 20th
2017–Donald Trump’s inauguration day.
On Tuesday, an attorney for Trump, Jay Sekulow pointed
out on his radio show Jay Live this meeting between Rice,
Obama, Yates and Comey took place one day before
James Comey briefed then-President elect Donald Trump
on the phony dossier.
Comey lied to Trump’s face and told him not to worry
about the dossier and that he was not under investigation.
This is after the dossier had already been used to obtain
FISA warrants.
Chuck Grassley posted to his official Senate
website Monday:
Ambassador Rice appears to have used
this email to document a January 5, 2017
Oval Office meeting between President
Obama, former FBI Director James Comey
and former Deputy Attorney General Sally
Yates regarding Russian interference in the
2016 Presidential election. In particular,
Ambassador Rice wrote:
“President Obama began the conversation
by stressing his continued commitment to
ensuring that every aspect of this issue is
handled by the Intelligence and law
enforcement communities ‘by the book’.
The President stressed that he is not
443
asking about, initiating or instructing
anything from a law enforcement
perspective. He reiterated that our law
enforcement team needs to proceed as it
normally would by the book.”
January 3rd 2017 Loretta Lynch signed new rules
permitting the NSA to disseminate raw intelligence with
ALL Intel agencies.
According to Grassley’s letter, Susan Rice met with
Obama and Comey after she met with leaders of the
Intelligence Community on January 5th 2017.
January 6th 2017 former FBI Director
James Comey briefed then-President elect
Trump on the dossier and told him it was
no big deal and not to worry about it.
January 10th 2017 Buzzfeed published the
entire Russia dossier.
January 12th, 2017 General Flynn’s phone
call with Russian Ambassador Kislyak was
leaked to the press.
January 19th, 2017 another FISA warrant
on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page
was renewed.
January 20th, 2017 (Trump’s Inauguration
Day) Susan Rice sends bizarre email to
herself memorializing a secret meeting that
took place with Obama, Comey and Yates
where the Russia investigation was
discussed.
“We have this meeting that takes place,
we’re not sure if the dossier was
discussed,” Jay Sekulow says of the Susan
Rice meeting with Obama, Comey and
Yates.
Attorney Jordan Sekulow responded,
“What we know 100% is the dossier was
being discussed by one of the attendees at
 this meeting, Jim Comey, with president- VIDEO:
elect Trump the very next day at New York
City at Trump Tower.”

Of course the dossier was discussed in this meeting with

Rice, Yates, Comey and Obama. The very next day Comey
met with Trump to talk about the dossier and they expect
us to believe this didn’t come up in the meeting?

Obama definitely knew about the dossier, FISA warrants

and the spying on Trump’s camp.

organization runs the world,” Joseph says.

Hellyer claims the technology to reverse climate change

has been developed, but it is suppressed by the Illuminati,
as most of its key members have big stakes in the fossil
fuel industry which they wish to continue for as long as
possible.

“You have got a secret cabal that’s

the New World Order. us what is going on, and change your
priorities to save the world for further
generations instead of blowing it on

conspiracy fact. In a podcast, Hellyer, who was on post in
the 1960s, said the Illuminati (at least at its most basic
concept) was real and all powerful. He said corrupt hidden
leaders continue to wage needless wars and focus on
profits, rather than stopping climate change. Although it
has become evident to anyone paying attention that climate
change is a fabricated tool of the NWO and global elitists,
perhaps Hellyer is attempting to reach those who have no
idea that their very existence is being controlled.

“This is something I’ve been following for

quite some time,” said Joe Joseph of The
Daily Sheeple. “But I want to share it with
you because for all of you out there that
believe that there’s a conspiracy to
basically hijack all of our governments or
they have been hijacked [already]…you’re
absolutely right. And this should provide a
little bit of validation for you.”
“I will say, that if you are fortunate enough
to discuss with somebody that belongs to
the CFR, the Council On Foreign Relations
and they’re honest with you about things,
But, that isn’t the goal of the NWO, and there’s a different,
and in our humble opinion, a more logical explanation for
the creation of climate change by the global elitists who
will need a massive Earth depopulation in order to advance
their agenda:
“20 Million Could Starve To Death In
Coming Months” As Bio-Systems Of Earth

 “You take a look at Albert Pike, you take a
look at Helena Blavatsky…they were all
professed Luciferians,” says Joseph. Some
will say that Satan equals Lucifer, and
some will say Lucifer is not Satan. “I think
they are all in the ballpark…I’ll put it that
way.”
Hellyer also believes that several species of
intelligent aliens are secretly living on Earth, and world
leaders keep this secret from us, Dailystar.co.uk reports.
He claims it is aliens that have developed a “free clean
energy source” that can reverse climate change, that has
been given to us – oh, like say…the free clean energy
Nikola Tesla designed that was stolen so the elites can
continue to make everyone else pay to live?
Max Loughan’s latest invention uses many of the
principles posited by Nikola Tesla 75 years ago to harvest
free energy from the atmosphere. Loughan’s invention
uses an old coffee can, some coils of wire, and a spoon. It
makes enough energy to light a string of LED lights
wrapped around his twin brother Jack, much to the
astonishment of a film crew from the TV station KTVN in
Reno.
Putting two and two together is an extremely simple
concept, yet most people still have trouble with it. Chock
it up to propaganda and not being taught to find the
answer, but being “told” and indoctrinated.
446
“We are NOT being told the whole truth
with regards to who’s visiting us, do we
have power or do other lifeforms have
power over us? Have they…all this kind of
stuff,” Joseph says. “Now, I can tell you,
from ancient texts, like the Bible, the Book
of Enoch, to be specific, the ‘ones that from
heaven to earth fell.’ You can go down to
South America, you find these elongated
skulls that don’t have human DNA.” So
Joseph fails to understand why there’s “no
evidence,” according to the mainstream
media of a coverup or some type of
conspiracy when the evidence is actually
abundant.
“This is great that Mr. Hellyer has decided
to go on the speaking circuit and talk about
this,” Joseph says.

Attacks Democrats For Divisive Politics (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
February 13, 2018, 4:05 Pm

Actor, comedian and Hollywood legend

Bill Murray praised President Trump’s
tax cuts, attacks divisive politics and
blames Democrats for making the
situation worse.
He added that Democrats could often create division by
striving to represent certain groups or minorities, rather
than simply saying they represented Americans.
‘My friend who’s a great comedy writer, Jim
Downey, he’s accused of being a right-wing
comedy writer, if there is such a thing,’
Murray said. ‘He says, “No, I just think the
way the Democrats handle things is poor,
where they try to pick out little pieces of a
population, oh well we represent the
Hispanics, we represent the LGBT or
something.”

Bill Murray joined Squawk Box earlier this week:

The Daily Mail reported:

Bill Murray is rarely one to keep quiet about

his opinions.
And in a recent sit down with CNBC’s
Squawk Box, the actor warned that political
discourse had degenerated into a ‘Clash of

 Media Bash Trump’s ‘Hollow’
Tax Cuts ‘Backfiring On Wall Street’
By Julia A. Seymour
February 13, 2018 5:13 PM EST
The February 2018 stock market correction was painful to
watch, but the news media exaggerated the situation —
piling on panic and blame with descriptions like “crash”
and “freefall” — after ignoring most previous records.
One common target of liberal media attack was the GOP-
passed tax-cut law. Yahoo Finance columnist Rick
Newman wrote on Feb. 6, that the
“tax cuts are looking hollow right now.”
CNN Money asked in a headline the same
day, “Are Trump’s tax cuts backfiring on
Wall Street?”
The confusing claim repeated by the liberal media was that
the economy “is doing too well too quickly.” Rather than
point out the solid “fundamentals” of the overall economy,
the focus was on “fundamentals to fear,” as one New York
Times blog put it. That blog said there were worries “that
the already strong economy may overheat” driving up
inflation and leading to aggressive interest rate hikes.
Similar complaints about the tax bill were made by ABC
World News Tonight as well as the Los Angeles Times, and
Washington Post between Feb. 2, when the Dow dropped
by 665 points and the tumultuous week that followed.
Following a Dow drop off more than 1,000 points on Feb.
8, ABC World News Tonight correspondent Linzie Janis
connected the market woes to the Trump tax cuts.
“Tonight, some economists also say the
president’s tax cuts could actually be
adding to all of this, by stimulating an
already improving economy,” said said.
448
Janis also asked, “who pays for those cuts
later on?”
Los Angeles Times business writer Jim Puzzanghera took
Trump’s analogy of the tax cuts being “rocket fuel” for the
economy, and said “Rockets can accidentally explode.”
In his article complaining about the potential to “overheat”
the economy, Puzzanghera wrote that
“Some analysts believe the extra stimulus
of the tax cuts, which will boost wage
growth and government borrowing in an
already strong economy, helped ignore the
recent stock market volatility that continued
Tuesday with another wild session on Wall
Street.”
While admitting tax cuts “are still likely to
boost profits,” Newman argued “markets
are now factoring in some of the problems
associated with tax cuts that Trump and his
fellow Republicans never mentioned, and
perhaps didn’t even recognize.”
Even after saying
“it’s hard, bordering on impossible, to
pinpoint why markets rise or fall abruptly,”
Newman of Yahoo Finance claimed that
were “plenty of clues” and the Trump tax
cuts “are one of the suspects.”
But not all economists viewed stronger growth or interest
rates hikes as a bad thing. Brian Wesbury of First Trust
Advisors wrote about the stock market “correction,” on
Feb. 9.
“Corrections scare the snot out of people.
For many, who thought markets only go up,
they feel like the end of the world. This is
especially true when pundits start trying to
explain the drop in stock prices by arguing
that there are fundamental problems with
the economy. This time is no different. But,
in our opinion, this is an emotional
correction, not a fundamental one. The US
is not entering a recession, and higher
 interest rates over the next few years do
not spell doom for the economy or
markets,” Wesbury wrote.
In his view, the economy is going to grow
“because of better policy,” and “This is a
good thing!”

But views like that weren’t so prevalent in the liberal
media which was also against the tax cuts even before they
were passed. For example, the broadcast networks mostly
ignored company announcements of bonuses and wage
hikes after the passage of the tax bill, but they also made
many more explicitly negative statements about tax reform
as the legislation was being crafted and debated in late
2017 than explicitly positive ones.
 Susan Rice Email Suggests Comey 'Seriously Misled'
Senate Regarding Meeting With Obama
By Debra Heine
February 13, 2018

Susan Rice's "note to self" email released by the Senate
Judiciary Committee on Monday may put former FBI
director James Comey in legal jeopardy because it shows
he may have made "an intentional and material omission
of a highly relevant fact" in his written sworn statement to
the U.S. Senate last summer.
Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chuck Grassley (R-
IA) obtained Rice's email after requesting
“records of meetings between President
Obama and then-FBI Director Comey
regarding the FBI’s investigation of
allegations of collusion between associates
of Mr. Trump and the Russian
government.”
As PJ Media reported, former national security adviser
Susan Rice wrote the email and then sent it to herself at
12:15 p.m. on January 20, 2017, just as Donald Trump was
being inaugurated as president.
The email reads in part:
"On January 5, following a briefing by IC
leadership on Russian hacking during the
2016 presidential election, President
Obama had a brief follow-on conversation
with FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy
Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval
Office. Vice President Biden and I were
also present."
450
According to legal analyst Colin Kalmbacher at Law and
Crime,
"Comey may have seriously misled
Congress about his meetings with Obama"
because he left that highly relevant confab out of his
“Statement for the Record” provided to the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence on June 8, 2017.
The Senate Intel Committee is one of several
congressional committees investigating Russian meddling
and possible collusion with the Trump campaign during
the 2016 general election.
“I have tried to include information that may
be relevant to the committee,” Comey
wrote in his statement.
Yet Comey, for some reason, neglected
to include the extremely relevant
January 5, 2017, meeting, which
followed "a briefing by IC leadership on
Russian hacking during the 2016
Presidential election" and included FBI
Director James Comey, Deputy Attorney
General Sally Yates, Vice President Joe
Biden, and Rice herself, according to
the email.
"Comey’s failure to disclose this meeting to
the Senate committee is likely to be viewed
as an intentional and material omission of a
highly relevant fact related to the
Russiagate investigation," Kalmbacher
wrote.
During the White house meeting, then-President Obama,
according to Rice, suggested that they withhold
information from the incoming Trump team -- which is
also legally sketchy.
"President Obama said he wants to be sure
that, as we engage with the incoming team,
we are mindful to ascertain if there is any
reason that we cannot share info fully as it Just two days earlier, on January 3, 2017,
relates to Russia."
Rice also said in her memo that Obama "outgoing Attorney General Loretta Lynch
secretly signed an order directing the
"stressed" his "continued commitment" to
the Russia issue being handled by the National Security Agency -- America's
intelligence and law enforcement 60,000-person-strong domestic spying
communities "by the book." apparatus -- to make available raw spying
data to all other federal intelligence
agencies, which then can pass it on to their
counterparts in foreign countries and in the
50 states upon request."

 CNN Touts Author of Boston Globe Column:
'What the Hell Happened to John Kelly?'
By Ryan Foley
February 13, 2018 5:15 PM EST
During Tuesday afternoon’s edition of CNN Newsroom,
host Brooke Baldwin interviewed Boston Globe columnist
Kevin Cullen, who recently published a column titled
“What the Hell Happened to John Kelly?” In the
column, Cullen explained that he initially supported the
appointment of General John Kelly as White House Chief
of Staff, making him the odd man out among his fellow
columnists, but lost a lot of respect for him as a result of
his tenure as Chief of Staff.
Cullen seemed to argue that Kelly’s association with
President Trump tarnished his reputation, saying
“a lot of what made John Kelly a very good
military man does not work in the political
arena, particularly when you align yourself
with somebody like Mr. Trump, who is not
presidential.”
Cullen’s CNN appearance was mild compared to his
Boston Globe column. In the column, he referred to the
President as “a mean-spirited ingrate” who “degrades the
integrity of the office of the Presidency with every tweet,
with every embrace of racists and racist thought, with
every slight and insult of allies, with every defense of men
who abuse women.” While these comments might seem
extreme, it’s par for the course in the ultra-liberal
Massachusetts.
Cullen went on to add;
“Trump’s obsession with degrading and
dismissing a free press, and openly
fantasizing about shutting down media
452
outlets he doesn’t like, puts him in the
category of tinpot dictators.”
Maybe Cullen forgot that President Obama repeatedly
criticized Fox News during his tenure. Does that make him
a “crazy tinpot dictator?”
Cullen also criticized Kelly’s comments suggesting the
group of illegal immigrants known as “dreamers” were
“too lazy to get off their asses” and apply for protection
under President Obama’s Executive Action known as
DACA. Cullen resorted to the race card, saying
“Last week, Kelly sounded like any number
of vaguely racist callers to any number of
radio talk shows, dismissing immigrants as
lazy. Kelly is the chief of staff, not Rush
Limbaugh.”
While it certainly looks like Cullen faces no danger of
losing his job at The Boston Globe anytime soon, if all else
fails, his hatred for President Trump has enhanced his
qualifications for a new job: CNN contributor.

BROOKE BALDWIN: Sure. I mean, I’ve got you for two more
minutes and, you know, here, you pose this big question and,
and you wrote toward the end, we all grow up terrified of
becoming our parents. What has happened to John Kelly is far
worse. He has become his boss. What happened?
KEVIN CULLEN: No question. I mean, I think, what I was driving
at Brooke, is that a lot of what made John Kelly a very good
military man does not work in the political arena, particularly
when you align yourself with somebody like Mr. Trump, who is
not presidential and the idea that he will somehow be presidential
and the idea that Mr. Kelly, as his Chief of Staff, can whip him
into shape, I just don’t think it’s the same thing. I think once he
entered this, this political arena and hitched his trailer to Mr.
Trump, I think it was inevitable that Mr. Kelly would end up where
he is. The moral company that guided, the moral compass that
guided John Kelly the military man has given way to the
situational expediency of a political man. And I find that tragic.
 Whistleblower: Stock Market
‘Fear Gauge’ Is Being Manipulated
By Jim Hoft
February 13, 2018, 6:02 Pm
During President Trump’s first year in
office the Dow broke every significant
record imaginable.
Below is a list of the records during
President Donald J. Trump’s first year in
office.
Point Increases
Trump’s first year in office was the
greatest year in stock market history!
The Dow hit a record number of all time
high closings since Trump won the 2016
election. There were 99 all time
highs in the Dow between late January
2018 and when President Trump won
the 2016 election.
Since the 2016 election the Dow went
up more that 45% before sliding
back to its current 35%
increase!
453
 The Dow increased more in 2017 than any year ever
in Dow history! The Dow ended 2016 at 19,763 and
ended 2017 at 24,719 for a nearly 5,000 point
increase. This is the most ever by more than 40%
over the next best year ever (In 2013 the Dow was
up 3,472 points).
 Since the 2016 election the Dow surpassed 8 major
milestones – 19,000, 20,000, 21,000, 22,000, 23,000,
24,000, 25,000 and 26,000.
 In January the Dow set an all time record for the
fastest 500 point increase in history (between
major milestones) as the Dow surpassed 26,000. The
Dow broke the records for the fastest 500, 1000, 2000,
3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 point increases in
history. All since President Trump won the election.
All Time Highs
 President Trump is the only President in US history
to oversee two stock market rallies of nine days or
more where the markets set new highs each and
every day.
 On February 28th President Trump matched President
Reagan’s 1987 record for most continuous closing high
trading days when the Dow reached a new high for
its 12th day in a row!
 Then in early August President Trump reigned over a 9
day stock market rally with each day reaching record
highs.
 President Trump’s stock market rally is historical!
No President has seen more all time highs (71) in
their first year in office than President Trump. No
one has seen more all-time highs in a year ever.
The old record was 69 in 1997.
 Nearly one in three days since the election has
ended in a new stock market high.
 The Dow set the record for the best first week of a year
ever when it increased 576 points in the first 4 days of
trading in 2018.
In virtually every category the Dow has
set a new all time record under
President Trump. Then last week the
market suddenly dropped 1,000
points in a day – twice. Today Market
 Watch noted that the market dropped
due to unethical market manipulation!
Market Watch reported:
One of the most popular measures of volatility is being
manipulated, charges one individual who submitted a letter
anonymously to the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The letter makes the claim to regulators that fake quotes
for the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.27% are skewing levels of
the Cboe Volatility Index VIX, -0.82% which reflects
bearish and bullish options bets 30-days in the future on
the S&P 500 to gauge implied stock-market volatility (see
excerpt from the letter below).
The flaw allows trading firms with sophisticated
algorithms to move the VIX up or down by simply posting
quotes on S&P options and without needing to physically
engage in any trading or deploying any capital. This
market manipulation has led to multiple billions in profits
.

effectively taken away from institutional and retail
investors and cashed in by unethical electronic option
market makers.
The whistleblower’s claims are consistent with those
documented by John Griffin, professor of finance at the
University of Texas and Ph.D. candidate Amin Shams in
May 2017 in research that says the cost of manipulating
less-liquid SPX options would be more than paid for by a
successful bet on the direction of the VIX. The paper is
consistent with the whistleblower’s conclusion—that
manipulators are moving prices of the SPX options by
spoofing at settlement—entering quotes for trades that are
never executed—to “paint the tape” and, therefore,
influence the value of expiring VIX derivatives.
This is a bit heavy, but the main thought
is that the market was unethically
manipulated which impacted millions of
Americans in their 401k’s. Let’s hope
this gets addressed quick.
 BUSTED: Team Trump Campaign Members Most Likely
Surveilled By Obama Admin Spying On Carter Page
Posted On February 13, 2018
(National Sentinel) Wiretaps: Former Trump campaign
official Carter Page has admitted talking with various
members of the president’s staff while he was under
surveillance by the FBI during the final stages of the 2016
campaign, meaning they, too, were also exposed to the
spying.
Fox News reported Tuesday that J. Christian Adams, a
former Justice Department lawyer who is now the
president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, said
“if there was electronic surveillance, there
is no chance they weren’t caught up in it.”
“You’d normally think that innocent third
parties would be protected, but we’ve seen
in this mess unmasking of otherwise
innocent people and their conversations,”
he added, according to the network.
In particular, Page told the news outlet that he sent Trump
campaign members an email containing an Oct. 26, 2016,
letter sent to a European-based organization where he
defended himself after leaving the campaign.
He said of the letter that it was the “main thing I do
remember contacting them about” after he left the
campaign.
“So that should’ve all been picked up with
the illegal hacking operation that began in
Washington about a week prior,” Page said
in an email to Fox News.
.
455
The letter would have represented just a single instance in
which federal authorities monitoring Page could have also
picked up communications involving Trump campaign
officials.
“However, it raises the possibility that any
additional messages with those contacts –
including emails from them to Page – could
have been picked up as well,” the network
reported.
What was also curious is that Page’s October 2016 letter
also appeared to reference the infamous “Russia dossier”
concocted as opposition research by the Fusion GPS firm
and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
“I have learned from a reliable source that
a law firm close to the Clinton campaign
has hired a London-based private
investigator to investigate my trip to
Russia,” Page wrote, in an apparent
reference to former British spy Christopher
Steele, who authored the dossier.
Page also had contact with at least one Trump campaign
and administration figure, former chief political strategist
Steve Bannon, when he was under surveillance.
“We had a brief conversation in January,
and we shared some text messages,” Page
told the House Intelligence Committee in
November. “That’s about it.”
Others believe that former President Obama knows much
more about the spying scandal than has been divulged.
“Just how many people were surveilled and
to what extent?” Fox News’ Tucker Carlson
said last week on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“How much did President Obama know
about it? We still don’t have the answers to
those questions, though we definitely have
the right to them.”
 Top Dem Senator Continues To Push Russian Election
Hacking Hoax – Investigators Still HAVE NOT
Inspected DNC Servers (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
February 13, 2018, 6:13 Pm

On Tuesday, Senator Mark Warner (D-
VA) continued to push the Russian
election hacking hoax at a Senate
Intelligence Committee hearing on
worldwide threats, yet investigators still
have not inspected the DNC servers to
confirm Russia hacked Hillary Clinton’s
campaign emails.
Senator Warner is the Vice Chairman of the Senate Intel
Committee.
Why doesn’t he want to take a look at the DNC’s servers?
The Russians always try to undermine
our elections. This is nothing new.
Neither the FBI nor any other federal
investigators have inspected the DNC’s
servers to confirm the Russians hacked
Hillary’s emails.
Why not? How do we have a Special Counsel investigating
‘Russian hacking’ yet no one has inspected the very
servers that were supposedly hacked.
The only cybersecurity experts to
inspect the DNC servers was
Crowdstrike, a private company hired by
Hillary’s campaign.
Also, none of the investigators have reached out to
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who has stated many
times on record that Russia did not give him the Podesta
emails.
This is more proof the entire Russia
investigation is a complete sham.

Senator Warner and other Democrats demanded to know

what the Trump administration is doing to prevent the

The top spy chiefs also said they expect the Russians to

added. "We are gaining more, I think,

the private sector, who are beginning to
recognize ever more the issues that are
faced with the material that comes through
their processes. We cannot, as a
government, direct them what to do. But we
certainly are spending every effort we can
to work with them to provide some answers
to this question."
Coats said the nations of NATO are also concerned about
Russian campaign influence ops.
"I returned, not that long ago, from a
meeting in Brussels with the intelligence
arm of NATO. All 29 nations -- the topic
was addressed, primarily on Russian
meddling in elections and trying to
undermine democratic values," he told
senators. "At the end of that, the new
director of that organization asked for a
show of hands of or any verbal response
from any representatives of the 29 nations,
if they thought that Russia had not
interfered with their processes and
particularly their elections, or had the
potential to do so. Not one person raised
their hand."
"I think that sends a very strong signal that
any elections that are coming up need to
be -- we need to assume that there might
be interference with that, particularly from
the Russians, and maybe from some other
malign actors," Coats warned. "And steps
should need to be taken to work with state
and local officials, because many of these
elections in off-year will be state and local,
governorships, even members of certain
houses of representation within the states
themselves. So it clearly is an issue that is
whole-of-government."
Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) asked CIA Director
Mike Pompeo if he has
"seen Russian activity in the lead-up to the
2018 election cycle."
"Yes, we have seen Russian activity and
intentions to have an impact on the next
election cycle here," Pompeo replied.
Coats agreed. Rogers added,
458
"Yes, and I think this would be a good topic
to get into greater detail [in closed
session]."
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) noted that voting begins next
month, and
"if we're going to have any impact on
securing that voting system itself, it would
seem to me that we need to be acting
quickly."
"I think a great part of the strength of the
system is the diversity of the system --
different not only from state to state, but
from election jurisdictions within those
states," he added.
Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) declared he was
"sick and tired of going to these hearings,
which I've been going to for five years,
where everybody talks about cyber attacks,
and our country still does not have a policy
or a doctrine or a strategy for dealing with
them."
King said that was not specifically a criticism of the
current administration, as the previous one dropped the
ball as well.
Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), an ex-officio member of the
committee, asked the IC leaders,
"Has the president directed you and your
agency to take specific actions to confront
and blunt Russian influence activities that
are ongoing?"
"Not as specifically directed by the
president, no," Wray replied.
Pompeo said he thought President Trump has been
"very clear that he want -- has asked our
agency to cooperate with each of the
investigations that's ongoing and do
everything we can to ensure that we
thoroughly understand this potential threat."
"For us, I can't say that I've been explicitly
directed to 'blunt' or actively stop [Russia],"
Rogers said. "On the other hand, it's very
clear -- generate knowledge and insight,
help us understand this so we can
generate better policy. That clearly -- that
direction has been very explicit, in
fairness."
Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) wrapped up
the hearing with an update on his panel's investigation into
2016 Russian campaign interference ops. The Senate
investigation has remained bipartisan while comity has
broken down in the once-bipartisan House Intelligence
Committee.
"We intend to have an overview of our
findings that will be public," Burr said. "We
intend to have an open hearing on election
security. And it's the committee's intent to
make recommendations that will enhance
the likelihood that the security of our
election process is in place."
In what may have been an allusion to the staff who
prepared House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin
Nunes' (R-Calif.) memo, Burr added,
"The remarks of every individual who has
come in before us -- has commented on
their professionalism and the fact that, at
.
459
the end of eight hours, they couldn't tell
who was a Democrat who was a
Republican. So the effort to be bipartisan
has not just been public; it is private, as
well, and permeates all the way down
through our staff."
Coats told senators that the intelligence community
"obviously" knows measures need to be take to protect this
election cycle.
"But we need to inform the American public
that this is real, that this is going to happen,
and the resilience needed for us to stand
up and say we're not going to allow some
Russian to tell us how to vote, how we
ought to run our country," the director of
national intelligence added. "And I think
there needs to be a national cry for that."

Dossier Author Was Employed By Putin-Linked Oligarch –

For the record… Oleg Deripaska threw a birthday bash

Last week FOX News reported that

Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), the top
senator on the Senate Intelligence
Committee, was caught communicating
with a lobbyist for Putin-linked Russian

Senator Warner reached out to the

lobbyist linked to Deripaska because he
wanted to speak with Fusion GPS

Senator Warner communicated with an

On Tuesday Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR)

 Why Do The Democrats
Take Trump’s Trolling Lying Down?
By Ted Rall
February 13, 2018
This is advice for the Democrats. Democrats never take
my advice. So why do I keep giving it to them?
These “what Democrats ought to do” columns aren’t really
for the Democratic Party leadership. They’re for you, dear
left-of-center reader. I’m explaining what the Dems should
be doing and comparing it to what they’re actually doing.
That gap between what makes sense and what is going on,
I hope you’ll conclude, is so big that we should declare the
Democratic Party dead and gone. Giving up on the Dems
is important.
The Left will never roll up its sleeves and start building a
genuine alternative to the current system until it stops
trying, somehow, to take over or sway the Distracticats.
This week, I’d like to showcase the stunning ineptitude of
the Democrats’ communications strategy.
There are many examples to choose from, but lately I have
been marveling at Democratic leaders’ wimpiness in the
face of the president’s Twitter-trolling.
On November 28, 2017, Trump tweeted:
“Meeting with ‘Chuck and Nancy’ today
about keeping government open and
working. Problem is they want illegal
immigrants flooding into our Country
unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to
substantially RAISE Taxes. I don’t see a
deal!”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi canceled their scheduled
meeting with Trump.
“Given that the President doesn’t see a
deal between Democrats and the White
House, we believe the best path forward is
to continue negotiating with our Republican
counterparts in Congress instead,” Pelosi
and Schumer said in a joint statement.
“Rather than going to the White House for
a show meeting that won’t result in an
agreement, we’ve asked (Senate Majority
462
Leader Mitch) McConnell and (House
Speaker Paul) Ryan to meet this
afternoon.”
Morons!
Schumer and Pelosi were right to cancel — but not
because of Trump’s stated pessimism about arriving at an
agreement. They should have canceled because Trump
insulted them.
“Chuck and Nancy”? Really?
As Frederick Douglass said, people naturally have
contempt for a person who won’t stand up for himself.
Schumer and Pelosi should have fought back. They should
have refused to let Trump big-dog them.
They could have taken the high road:
“Until the President learns to address us
politely, like an adult, using our proper titles
and names — Senator Schumer,
Representative Pelosi, Leader Schumer,
Leader Pelosi — we Democrats will have
no communications with him whatsoever.”
Or they could have gone the Ted Rall route:
“We’re sorry, silly fat Orange Donald, that
your mother didn’t raise you properly. Until
you delete your Twitter account, apologize
on TV and sign a contract agreeing to
never darken social media again — oh, and
no pussy grabbing either — you can go f—
yourself.
Either way, they’d have to mean it. That would mean no
more meetings, no more tolerating the president’s wanton
rudeness. Total obstruction.
I know. It ain’t gonna happen. Democratic leaders
obviously believe that they risk debasing themselves if
they lower themselves to Trump’s rhetorical level. What
they don’t get is that Trump is a bully. The only way to
deal with a bully is with shock-and-awe brutality.
The debasement follows the insult. Your decision not to
climb into the gutter with the bullying idiot may seem
admirable — “when they go low, we go high,” Michelle
Obama said — but it allows your tormentor to cast you as
a coward. When you allow the bully to insult you over and
over and over, as Trump does to his enemies, you tacitly
endorse their insults. Why, otherwise, do you tolerate
disrespect?
Or, to look at it another way, consider why Trump’s fans
love him. They love him because he “says it like it is,”
doesn’t take prisoners, doesn’t mince words. One person’s
lack of impulse control is another’s courage. Imagine, if a
progressive were as rude and aggressive as Trump, how
exciting that would be?
On January 26, 2018, Trump was back at it — not that he
ever took a break.
463
“DACA has been made increasingly difficult
by the fact that Cryin’ Chuck Schumer took
such a beating over the shutdown that he is
unable to act on immigration!” Trump
tweeted.
Imagine you were Chuck Schumer. You’re a U.S. senator.
He’s been in Congress since 1974, when Trump was still
making his name refusing to rent apartments to black
people. Why, you might ask yourself, should I put with
this patak who dares to give me a ridiculous nickname?
Four days later, here was Schumer, calling
him “President Trump” and “the President.”
WTF?
Schumer and Democrats won’t even defend themselves.
Do you seriously think they’ll lift a finger for you and me?
 Buzzfeed Slams DNC With Lawsuit For Refusing To
Release Information On “Hacked” Servers
By Cristina Laila
February 13, 2018, 8:03 Pm
The phony Hillary-funded Russia
dossier has spurred many lawsuits.
Buzzfeed published the unverified, salacious dossier in full
on January 10th 2017.
It was reported Monday that a year after BuzzFeed
published the now discredited Steele dossier, the news
outlet is on a ‘secret mission,’ to verify it.
After Buzzfeed published the dossier, they were slammed
with a libel lawsuit by Russian businessman Aleksej
Gubarev for tying his web company to the supposed
Russian hacking of the DNC servers.
Buzzfeed is now suing the DNC to get more information on
their servers that were supposedly hacked as part of their
defense strategy against the libel suit.
Surprise surprise, the DNC is pushing back and refusing to
hand over any information related to the supposed hacking.
(That’s because they were never hacked by Russians)
Vanity Fair reported:
Now, BuzzFeed is taking the Democratic
National Committee to court in an attempt
to compel it to turn over information it
believes will bolster its defense
against Aleksej Gubarev, a Russian
business magnate who says he was libeled
in the dossier when it tied him to the
Russians’ alleged hacking of the D.N.C.’s
e-mail servers. In a nutshell: BuzzFeed
believes the D.N.C. has information that
could show a link between Gubarev and
the e-mail hacking, which would undercut
his libel claim.
.
464
“We’re asking a federal court to force the
D.N.C. to follow the law and allow
BuzzFeed to fully defend its First
Amendment rights,” a BuzzFeed
spokesperson wrote in an e-mail.
BuzzFeed’s motion asserts that the D.N.C., citing privacy
concerns, has been unwilling to comply with a subpoena
for that information. As BuzzFeed’s lawyers argue:
“The material requested from the D.N.C.—
which amounts only to the digital remnants
left by the Russian state operatives who
hacked their systems—is highly relevant to
Defendants’ ability to establish the truth of
the allegedly defamatory claims about them
in the Dossier. And the D.N.C. has
identified neither privilege nor burden that
would prevent them from complying with
the Subpoena.” In legal papers, the D.N.C.
has argued that disclosing the digital
signatures, supposedly left by the Russia-
directed hacking organizations known as
Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, would
inevitably expose details of the D.N.C.’s
information systems, possibly making them
more vulnerable to another hack.
Buzzfeed previously subpoenaed the DNC in connection
with the libel lawsuit via The Hill:
BuzzFeed is requesting “technical
information and data obtained during the
investigation into the Democratic Hack,
including all host-based and network-based
artifacts,” according to a copy of the
subpoena obtained and reviewed
by Foreign Policy.
It is also reportedly requesting information about the type
of malware used in the hack as well as “non-public”
analysis and other related reports.
It looks like Buzzfeed is working harder to inspect the
DNC servers than the FBI.
To this day zero federal investigators have looked at the
DNC servers despite a Special Counsel and countless
committees investigating ‘Russian hacking’ of the 2016
election.
 UH-OH! Internal Dem Polling
Shows Trump’s Popularity On The Rise
Alex Roarty - McClatchy Washington Bureau
Posted On February 13, 2018
WASHINGTON—A leading Democratic group—
Priorities USA—is warning party leaders they could
squander a strong political climate in 2018 if they don't
start to emphasize pocketbook issues over loose and
unfocused critiques of Donald Trump.
According to internal polling by the super PAC, President
Donald Trump's approval rating climbed to 44 percent in
the first week of February, compared to 53 percent who
disapprove. That mirrors Trump's improving position in
public polls.
In November, the same survey found his approval rating at
40 percent, with 54 percent disapproving.
The group's survey also showed the Democratic Party's
generic ballot advantage had shrunk, with 46 percent
preferring Democrats to 42 percent for Republicans.
The memo says that a broad range of metrics show the
political climate is still favorable for Democrats. But it
also makes an unambiguous diagnosis for Trump's recent
rise: Democrats this year have stopped focusing on
economic and health care issues, topics that demonstrably
hurt his approval during his first year in office.
Priorities' polling found that while people in November
readily mentioned Trump's health care and tax reform
measures, by February they were instead more cognizant
of his tweets.
Democrats, the memo said, must "not allow themselves to
be sidetracked and distracted by Trump's latest tweets."
"While still on track for a successful
November, the extent of Democratic gains
will be blunted if Democrats do not re-
engage more aggressively in speaking to
the economic and health care priorities of
voters," it said.
The memo comes amid a rancorous debate on Capitol Hill
over immigration, in which Democrats in January
temporarily pushed to shut down the federal government
because of the absence of a DACA agreement. The
Priorities missive does not say the party should avoid a
debate over immigration, but says time and time again that
465
the absence of fiscal criticism of Trump has allowed him
to one-sidedly extol the benefits of a growing economy.
"There's no question that Trump benefits
when a critique of his tax and health care
policies is not front and center — especially
when voters are hearing Trump's side of
the story on the economy," the memo said.
Priorities is one of a litany of Democratic leaders or
organizations making the case the party must focus on the
economy to best take advantage of the midterm election
climate, especially as it tries to both win back working-
class white voters who backed Trump in droves and
energize its own base, including black and Latino voters.
The memo was compiled by Priorities in conjunction with
Global Strategy Group and GarinHartYang Research
Group, two of the Democratic Party's leading political
consultancies. It surveyed 1,001 voters from Feb. 2
through Feb. 7 and has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage
points.
The poll included voters who cast a ballot in the 2012 or
2016 presidential race.
Despite its admonishment of the party, Democrats have
reason to still be upbeat about the 2018 midterm election,
the memo argues. Although its generic ballot edge was just
four points, Priorities found that just 35 percent of
undecided voters approved of Trump — compared to 60
percent who disapproved. (Data on undecided voters in a
generic ballot test is rarely provided in other polls.)
And 51 percent of voters said they want
more Democrats elected to Congress this
year to be a "check and balance on
Trump," compared to 39 percent who want
to elect more Republicans to help "Trump
pass his policies and programs."
The polling also found increased level of enthusiasm for
2018 among Democrats while Trump was underwater in
nearly all measures of his performance. The president,
however, did have a plurality of support for his tax and
economic policies, while views of his health care policies
have improved significantly since November.
The memo also shows that most voters think the GOP's tax
reform plan favors the rich and large corporations at the
expense of the middle class.
"When voters have heard messages from
both Democrats and Republicans on the
.
466
tax bill, Democrats have won," it says.
"Unfortunately, that debate has been
relatively one-sided recently and voters
have not heard nearly as much from
Democrats."

 WTH?… Trump Lawyer Admits He Paid Porn Star
Stormy Daniels $130,000 Hush Money
Out Of His Own Pocket
By Cristina Laila
February 13, 2018, 10:14 Pm
A lawyer for the Trump Organization,
Michael D. Cohen admitted in a
statement to the New York Times he
paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000
in hush money out of his own pocket in
2016.
It has been alleged Donald Trump had an affair with
Stephanie Clifford AKA Stormy Daniels in 2006.
President Trump has denied the affair.
Via The New York Times:
“Neither the Trump Organization nor the
Trump campaign was a party to the
transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither
reimbursed me for the payment, either
directly or indirectly,” the statement read.
468
Stephanie Clifford’s stage name is Stormy
Daniels.
“The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful,
and was not a campaign contribution or a
campaign expenditure by anyone.”
Mr. Cohen said that he had given a similar statement to the
Federal Election Commission in response to a complaint
filed by the government watchdog group Common Cause,
which filed a complaint saying that the payment, which
was made through a limited liability company that Mr.
Cohen established, was an in-kind contribution to the
Trump campaign.
Officials with Common Cause also sought to determine
whether the payment was made by the Trump
Organization or another person.
“The complaint alleges that I somehow
violated campaign finance laws by
facilitating an excess, in-kind contribution,”
Mr. Cohen said in his statement. “The
allegations in the complaint are factually
unsupported and without legal merit, and
my counsel has submitted a response to
the F.E.C.”
The Wall Street Journal reported in January that Stormy
Daniels was paid hush money when she supposedly
threatened to come forward with details about her sexual
rendezvous with Donald Trump in 2006.

 Adam Schiff On Democratic Memo:
“We’re Not Going To Make Revisions To It”
…They Know It’s Crap!
By Jim Hoft
February 14, 2018, 8:23 Am

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) spoke with reporters on
Tuesday about the controversial Democratic memo on the
Russiagate scandal.
Schiff told reporters Democrats would
not make any revisions to their junk
memo.
Schiff told CNN on Tuesday that Democrats would not
revise the memo.
“We’re not going to make any revisions
to it. The only question is what
redactions will be made, and obviously
we’d like to keep those to a minimum.”

President Trump refused to release the memo after

Democrats knowingly included sources and methods and
knew the document could not be released in its present
form.

President Trump tweeted this out on Saturday:

The memo is so important to Democrats

that no one met over the weekend to
clean up the memo and only 25% of the
Democratic caucus even took the time
to review the document.

 Rep. Gohmert: “Somebody HAS To Go To Jail”
Over FISA Abuse Targeting Trump Campaign
By JD Heyes
02/14/2018
An outspoken Republican lawmaker said over the weekend
that if someone is not punished over Obama-era abuses of
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to obtain a
warrant to improperly spy on Trump campaign officials
the American justice system — and trust in our institutions
— will be destroyed.
In an interview with Fox News host Judge Jeannine Pirro,
Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas said that
“somebody has to go to jail” over the FISA
court abuses “or our system is over.”
Gohmert, a former state court judge, said he has personally
seen the results of holding court officers responsible for
illegal behavior.
“I found out as a felony judge when I put
one lawyer in jail for contempt, people get
the message,” he said.
Gohmert was referencing the so-called FISA memo
released by the House Intelligence Committee last week, a
four-page document that detailed how the FBI used the
unverified, uncorroborated “Trump dossier” — an
opposition research document — to obtain a warrant from
the secretive court so authorities could spy on former
Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
Republicans in Congress noted that FBI officials seeking
the FISA warrant misrepresented the dossier as
intelligence; it’s not clear if the judge granting the warrant
knew the dossier was unsubstantiated opposition research.
471
“You don’t come in and misrepresent. You
do what is appropriate in court,” Gohmert
said. “I’m shocked, really shocked, that no
FISA judge put anybody in jail yet. Yet we
have found total disregard for propriety
before the FISA court. And somebody
should have been in jail long before now
over the improprieties that were submitted
to the court.”
The Texas Republican went on to note that the FISA
court’s proceedings are secret and that the subjects who are
to be put under surveillance do not have the chance to
defend themselves.
That’s not a problem when the subject is a foreign agent or
diplomat, but that can be a problem when the person is an
American; the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution says,
among other things, that you have the right to know who
your accusers are and to see the nature of the charges and
evidence against you.
So, Gohmert noted further, the onus is on government
officials to be honest and present evidence fairly to the
FISA court.
“A bunch of us signed a letter to our
(Judiciary Committee) chairman,” Gohmert
said. “And we know he has a heart like we
do to get to the bottom of what happened in
the FISA court. I talked to Chairman (Bob)
Goodlatte about it. He is going to get to the
bottom of what was said and what was
done.
“There is a chance, there may not be some
transcripts,” the congressman continued.
“In which case you go totally by the four
corners of the documents that were there.
In which case we know people should go to
jail.” (Related: Rep. Gohmert: The Trump
conspiracy isn’t Russia, it’s at the Justice
Department.)
Pirro pressed Gohmert further and asked if anyone actually
would go to jail.
 “Somebody has to go to jail or our system Pirro has also called for people to be “walked out” of the
is over,” he insisted. FBI and Justice Department “in handcuffs” for their
alleged roles in inappropriately spying on the Trump
Watch: campaign, something many believe (as I do) to be the
biggest political scandal in our country’s history.

“There is a cleansing needed in our FBI

and department of justice– it needs to be
cleansed of individuals who should not just
be fired. But who needs to be taken out in
cuffs,” she said on her program in
December.
“There have been times in our history
where corruption and lawlessness were so
pervasive, that examples had to be made,”
Pirro said. “This is one of those times.”

 MSNBC ‘Disappointed’ In Trump:
Infrastructure Bill Doesn’t Go Far Enough
By Scott Whitlock
February 14, 2018 9:02 AM EST
The journalists on MSNBC are in a huff because Donald
Trump isn’t catering to them. Appearing on Monday’s Last
Word, Ezra Klein appeared “disappointed” that the
infrastructure bill supported by the President and Congress
doesn’t go far enough. Vox editor Klein marveled,
“I do not understand why they didn't go big
on an infrastructure bill. It would have been
good politics and clearly it’s what Donald
Trump actually believes.”
According to Klein, the $1.2 trillion bill is actually only
$200 billion. He whined,
“This is not what they promised in the
campaign and it wouldn't do what they're
saying and hoping it would do.”
Considering how much trashing MSNBC has done of
Trump, it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t want to seek the
approval of the liberals at the network. Vox expressed his
“disappointment.”
The fact that he's decided to make no unusual deals, no
creative deals that isn’t baked into this. That's him not
having the interest or intention to dig in on the details of
governance, push his vision to an agenda and push those
who are recalcitrant in his party behind that agenda.
There's a very deep lack of leadership.
He only does what's easy to do with
Republicans, not what was meant to be
a disruptive force about his campaign
and his presidency. And it’s one of the
real disappointments of his
administration.

EZRA KLEIN: The White House keeps saying it's a $1.2 trillion
bill. To my deep frustration, the media keeps repeating this. This
is a $200 billion bill. It has 200 billion of funding in it that they said
they would pay for, but have not said how they will pay for. Of
that, 100 billion takes the normal state, federal match where the
feds give $4 for every $1 the state puts towards highway
construction, and reverses it so it's $1 federal match to $4 the
states kick in.
The rest is a hodgepodge of, like, funds of a rural slush fund and
tax breaks to private infrastructure that were already going to
happen anyway. And so, they're saying it's going to elicit all of
this money coming from other people because they want to
spend it so badly that it goes up to 1.5 trillion. That isn't how this
works. I do not understand why they didn't go big on an
infrastructure bill. It would have been good politics and clearly it’s
what Donald Trump actually believes. But they didn't and this is
not what they promised in the campaign and it wouldn't do what
they're saying and hoping it would do.
LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: One political reason is that the people
who actually write this stuff, the congressional Republicans, are
opposed to this kind of spending. They've been opposed to it for
some time. So trying to get them to take money and apply it this
way was an unlikely prospect from the start. So they've come up
with this thing that Chuck Schumer is calling a mirage. I mean,
it's possibly that none of those mayors and governors will take
any of this 20 percent funded money.

 Trump Lays Down The LAW On DEM Immigration
Demands; Any DACA Reform MUST Include
These Core Reforms
Posted On February 14, 2018
(National Sentinel) Immigration Reformed: President
Donald J. Trump has signaled a willingness to codify the
Obama-era DACA program into immigration law, but he
has sent word to Democrats he won’t sign any legislation
that does not include his demands.
As he has long stated, Trump wants funding for his border
wall, an end to chain migration and the current visa lottery
program, Axios reports.
The Senate has begun debating immigration reform that is
most likely to include a path to citizenship for current
DACA program participants, but not the provisions that
Trump seeks, the political news site noted.
Under current Senate rules, it takes 60 votes to approve
legislation.
475
“Negotiations on DACA have begun.
Republicans want to make a deal and
Democrats say they want to make a deal.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could finally, after
so many years, solve the DACA puzzle .
This will be our last chance, there will never
be another opportunity! March 5th,” Trump
tweeted on Tuesday.
March 5th is the six-month deadline Trump gave Congress
to come up with immigration reform legislation dealing
with the DACA program after rescinding President
Obama’s executive order that created it last fall. When he
rescinded DACA, Trump said he did so in large part
because he believed the Obama order was unconstitutional.
Democratic leaders in the House and Senate have rejected
Trump’s demands outright, forcing the president to double
down and insist that any legislation without border wall
funding and provisions ending chain migration and the
visa lottery will be a non-starter.
“The White House has claimed the
mainstream, middle ground on
immigration,” an administration official
told Axios, intimating that the president’s
approach to immigration reform is more
popular with Americans.
“By opposing the president’s framework,
Democrats are making it clear that they
care more about donors than Dreamers,”
the official added. “Democratic leaders are
now catering to the far-left activist wing of
their base.
“Democrats are selling out American
workers for open borders … [T]he White
House is making it clear that the
Republican Party is the party of American
workers,” the official said.
 RUSH LIMBAUGH: Gen. Flynn Indictment Part Of ‘One
Of The Most GIGANTIC Political SCANDALS
Of Our LIFETIME’
By Joshua Caplan
February 14, 2018, 11:52 Am
On his nationally-syndicated radio
program Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh
explained why he believes the
indictment of former National Security
Adviser Ret. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is a
major component to understanding why
special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia
probe is “one of the most gigantic
political scandals of our lifetime.”
On Monday, Byron York of the Washington Examiner
reported former FBI Director James Comey told
congressional investigators he did not believe Flynn lied
during an unannounced interview with agent Peter Strzok
on January 24th, 2017.
Partial transcript via rushlimbaugh.com.
RUSH: After hearing from Comey, these
members of Congress “came away with the
impression that Flynn would not be
charged with a crime pertaining to the
January 24 interview” with the FBI. “Nine
months later, with Comey gone and special
counsel Robert Mueller in charge of the
Trump-Russia investigation, Flynn pleaded
guilty to one count of making false
statements to the FBI in that January 24
questioning. What happened? […]
As I pointed out, even “the Washington
Post reported” more than a year ago “that
the FBI had reviewed the” transcripts of
those phone calls and found Flynn did
nothing illegal. So what happened here?
476
Why did he end up pleading guilty to one
count? Why has the sentencing been
delayed until May? According to Byron
York, indeed it appears the FBI did not
think Flynn had done anything wrong in the
calls. […]
I think… Folks, we are living in the midst
of one of the most gigantic political
scandals of our lifetime.
According to veteran political operative and Infowars
correspondent, Roger Stone, lawyers for Flynn are
preparing legal action to have all charges against him

 MSNBC: Trump 'Doesn't Give A Damn'
About The Poor
By Bill D'Agostino
February 14, 2018 11:56 AM EST
The panel of MSNBC Live With Stephanie Ruhle took a
brief time-out on Wednesday from speculating about
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to take a few lazy
swings at the President’s new budget proposal for the
SNAP food assistance program. The proposed policy
would function similarly to services like Blue Apron, with
beneficiaries receiving packages of pre-selected nutritious
food items. It would also reduce the current program’s
budget by 30%.
Princeton Professor Eddie Glaude argued that the proposed
changes to SNAP were motivated by assumptions of fraud,
which is likely true to some extent.
He then concluded that such a policy was
“all out war on the poor.”
“It’s patronizing,” complained New York
Times journalist Bret Stephens. He added
that this proposal had come from “a
President who is suspected of hating
the poor.”
Host Stephanie Ruhle, evidently reluctant
to exclude General Kelly from the segment
entirely, interjected, “John Kelly says
immigrants are lazy, don’t want to get
off the couch.” It is unclear whether Ruhle
was conflating immigrants with the poor, or
if the comment was simply a red herring.
.
478
Stephens analyzed the optics of the plan, which he
determined were “terrible.” Noting that the White House’s
preliminary budget is often a “show piece budget of the
President’s priorities” that has little chance of passing in its
initial form, he questioned why the President would
include such an unpopular idea in the initial proposal. “If
you do this as a political testimony to what your priorities
are, why would you do that?” he asked.
Glaude suspected he had the answer:
“Because this is a testimony to what
their priorities are.” This proposal, he
reminded the panel, had come from a
President who had run on a platform of
“representing working people.”
The candidate that claimed he was
going to be representing working
people, left behind white working class
folks, really doesn’t give a damn about
them. He really doesn’t care at all.
The panel did not revisit Professor Glaude’s initial claim
that the changes were likely intended to prevent SNAP
fraud and abuse. However, that assessment is supported up
by a statement from Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue in
December. Perdue announced that the agency was
interested in proposals which would combat “fraud and
waste” without increasing the program’s costs.
Additionally, the USDA’s website states that in Fiscal
Year 2012, the most recent year with data, OIG dedicated
over half of its investigative resources to finding instances
of fraud.
Yet in the context of the allegation, Glaude
and the other panelists seemed to infer that
an interest in stopping fraud was
tantamount to an innate distrust – or as
Stephens put it, a hatred – of the poor.
 Two Months After Trump Tax Cuts
Republicans Now Top Democrats In
Generic Congressional Polling
By Jim Hoft
February 14, 2018, 12:03 Pm
It’s been two months since the Trump
tax cuts were signed into law.
At least 346 companies have announce
tax reform bunuses, raises and 401(k)
hikes since the law passed affecting
over 3.5 million Americans.
For the first time in years wages are
rising and small business owners
across the country say this is the best
time in decades to expand.
Democrat leader Pelosi says these tax
cut bonuses are crumbs.
479
Now this…
Republicans now lead Democrats in
generic congressional polling.
Two months ago Democrats were ahead
by more than 10 points.
The Politico reported:
Republicans have erased the Democratic
advantage on the generic congressional
ballot in a new POLITICO/Morning Consult
poll that, for the first time since April, also
shows President Donald Trump’s approval
rating equaling the percentage of voters
who disapprove of his job performance.
Fully 39 percent of registered voters say
they would support the GOP candidate for
Congress in their district, while 38 percent
would back the Democratic candidate.
Nearly a quarter of voters, 23 percent, are
undecided.
Voters are split almost evenly along party lines.
Democratic voters break for their party, 85 percent to 5
percent, while Republicans similarly favor the GOP, 84
percent to 8 percent. Among independent voters, 26
percent would vote for the Democrat, 25 percent for the
Republican and nearly half, 49 percent, are undecided.
The GOP’s 1-point advantage comes after three months of
tracking in which Democrats maintained a lead ranging
between 2 and 10 points on the generic ballot.
 Tucker Carlson: Obama Viewed
Trump ‘As A Traitor And A Russian Spy’
By Jeff Poor
14 Feb 2018
Tucker Carlson opened his Tuesday Fox News Channel
program by offering his theory on why former National
Security Advisor Susan Rice sent herself an email with the
White House system to herself regarding the incoming
Trump administration and had some elements possibly
compromised by Russia.
According to Carlson, Rice’s email
revealed former President Barack Obama’s
perception of his successor, which was a
“traitor” and a “Russian spy.”
Partial transcript as follows:
Tonight, we have more on the ongoing
saga of the Trump dossier.
Senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey
Graham have launched a probe into former
National Security Advisor Susan Rice. In
the very final minutes of the Obama
administration, just afternoon on
inauguration day 2017, Rice sent herself an
email on the White House computer
system.
In it, she described a meeting she had
attended just two weeks before on January
5. At that meeting were President Obama,
Vice President Joe Biden, FBI Director Jim
Comey, Deputy AG Sally Yates and Susan
Rice herself.
According to Rice in this email, Obama instructed the
officials in the room to consider withholding national
intelligence from the incoming Trump administration in
case they were compromised by Russia.
In other words, almost two months after the presidential
election, Barack Obama viewed Trump not as his
democratically elected successor, but as a traitor and a
Russian spy.
Obama viewed himself as someone who somehow
had the right to withhold government documents
from an elected president. That’s not the behavior
of someone who believes in democracy.
480
And yet, that meeting set the tone for that year and all
subsequent arguments since. Democrats have treated
Trump and his election as illegitimate ever since then.
And at the heart of their case against Trump and this
administration is the Steele dossier.
To this day, the dossier is the only publicly available
document that details alleged collusion with Russia.
Now, of course, we have talked a lot about the dossier
on this program. But relatively little about what is in it.
What does the dossier actually claim? Is any of it
true? After more than a year of probing by politicians
and intelligence agencies and journalists, here’s the
sum total of what we actually know about the
document that started all of this.
We know the dossier was compiled by
Christopher Steele, acting as a contractor of
Fusion GPS with funds supplied by the Hillary
Clinton campaign and the DNC.
The dossier was a form of opposition research
designed to be used against Trump in the presidential
campaign. It was not an intelligence document. It was
oppo.
The dossier claims that Russian authorities didn’t
simply collude with Trump during a 2016 election, the
charge you hear a lot about, it also claims that
Russian intelligence cultivated Donald Trump as a
kind of asset, a kind of one-man sleeper cell for more
than five years. Needless to say, there’s no
evidence of that.
The dossier also claims the Kremlin fed the Trump
team intel reports on Hillary Clinton and other political
opponents for years. There’s no proof of that either.
It claims Trump was favored by Moscow with lucrative
Russian real estate deals as part of his cultivation as a
political asset. That’s sleeper cell. No proof there
either.
 According to the dossier, Trump and Russia were
exchanging intelligence with each other for at least
eight years. No proof of that.
The dossier goes on to describe a clandestine
meeting in Prague between Trump lawyer Michael
Cohen and representatives supposedly that took place
in August of 2016. This is one of the very few claims in
the dossier that has been conclusively checked and
it’s false. Cohen wasn’t even outside the US at the
time the meeting supposedly took place.
In sum, the Steele dossier is absurd.
The closer you read it, the more absurd
it is. Take 10 minutes to do so yourself.
It’s online. And as you read it, ask
yourself who would believe something
like this? It’s so transparently partisan
and unlikely and stupid and flimsy, it
reads like a parody of a badly written
spy novel.
481
At the same time, he was firing people on “The
Apprentice”, Donald Trump was working with
Vladimir Putin to subvert America? It’s hard even to
say that with a straight face. It’s that stupid.
And yet, keep in mind and never forget,
this is the document the FBI used to
justify spying on American citizens.
These are the claims that Democrats in
Congress repeatedly cited as the
reason to stop the normal functioning
of government in order to investigate
the administration.
This is the famous dossier that even today
progressives in the media are spending millions in
an attempt to corroborate.
And it’s all a stupid joke.
Amazingly, a lot of people in power fell for it.
 ADAM SCHIFF UNHINGED – Claims
He Has ‘More Non-Public Evidence’ Of Trump-Russia
Collusion, Obstruction (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
February 14, 2018, 12:12 Pm

Ranking member of the House Intel
Committee and suspected leaker, Adam
Schiff (D-CA) continued to spread the
big lie that he has ‘more evidence’ of
Trump-Russia collusion and
obstruction.
The DNC servers have yet to be inspected by federal
investigators and the FBI has not questioned WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange. Let that sink in.
“We have not been able to adequately
follow the money,” Schiff said completely
ignoring the fact that Hillary Clinton’s entire
campaign was a money laundering
scheme.
Schiff also compared the Trump-Russia witch hunt to
Watergate.
In reality, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is the one who spied
on their political opponent by illegally obtaining a FISA
warrant based on ‘Russian intelligence’ collected by a
former British spy.

VIDEO:

At a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor

on Wednesday, Rep Schiff told reporters the panel has
“non-public” evidence of Trump-Russia collusion and
obstruction.

After rattling off his usual talking points of Russian
collusion ‘evidence’ which is already public knowledge,
Schiff pivoted to the issue of ‘obstruction’.
“There is certainly an abundance of non-
public info that we have gathered in the
investigation and I think that some of that
non-public evidence is evidence on the
issue of collusion. Some of that non-public
evidence is evidence on the issue of
obstruction,” Schiff said.
Adam Schiff has been in overdrive since the FISA memo
was released by the House Intel Committee.
Schiff and the House Minority concocted a junk counter-
memo purposely full of sources and methods so Trump
wouldn’t release the document.
Schiff told reporters Tuesday the Democrats would not
make any revisions to their junk memo.

Adam Schiff then claimed the Trump campaign may have

laundered money.

 Economy Outlook Very Positive
As Trump Administration Works To Roll Back
Obama-Era Regulations
By Jayson Veley
02/14/2018
Barack Obama was easily one of the most destructive and
economically illiterate presidents this country has ever had
– the fact that we survived eight years of his so-called
leadership is nothing short of a miracle. Thankfully,
President Trump appears to be committed to reversing the
harmful policies that were introduced in the Obama era,
and as a result, the economy is heading upward.
While addressing world leaders assembled in the Swiss
Alps, President Trump went into detail about how his
policies are finally starting to revive the U.S. economy.
“Consumer confidence, business
confidence, and manufacturing confidence
are the highest that they have been in
many decades,” the president said. “Since
my election, we’ve created 2.4 million jobs,
and that number is going up very, very
substantially. Small-business optimism is at
an all-time high. New unemployment claims
are near the lowest we’ve seen in almost
half a century. African-American
unemployment reached the lowest rate
ever recorded in the United States, and so
has unemployment among Hispanic-
Americans.”
Naturally, the liberals are quick to twist the news of the
growing economy in order to fit their far left, anti-
capitalist agenda. The Associated Press, for example,
recently reported that while
“the economy is doing better by some
measures,” data released by the
483
Department of Commerce Bureau of
Economic Analysis “shows it hasn’t yet
accelerated meaningfully since his
inauguration.”
“Hasn’t yet accelerated meaningfully?” Was
the AP even around when Obama was
dragging through eight years of what
turned out to be one of the slowest so-
called “economic recoveries” in decades?
Did they not see the record number of
people exiting the labor force, or the
hundreds of businesses packing up and
moving from blue states to red states in
search of some relief? If the AP wants an
example of an economy that didn’t
“accelerate meaningfully,” perhaps they
should look to the Obama years.
(Related: Here are ten ways that Obama
has actively sought to destroy America.)
Remember, Barack Obama was a community organizer
from Chicago. He had never worked a single day in the
private sector, and was completely disconnected with the
way businesses operate by the time he became president.
Therefore, instead of embracing capitalism to create jobs
and economic prosperity, Obama simply opened up the
left-wing strategy guide and did what every other
progressive before him had done – increase spending,
increase taxes, and increase regulations.
President Trump, by contrast, is decreasing
regulations and lowering taxes, thereby
allowing the people to keep most of what
they earn allowing our economy as a whole
to reap the benefits of the free market
system.
Last month, The Wall Street Journal interviewed 68
economists regarding who they thought was responsible
for the booming economy, and low and behold, the
majority of them said that President Trump is the one that
should be taking a bow, not Barack Obama.
Specifically, most of the economists said that President
Trump was “somewhat” or “strongly” positive for job
creation, GDP growth and the rising stock market, and that
Trump’s decision to cut regulations and taxes were a major
factor. Additionally, they said that Obama was “neutral-to-
negative” for long-term economic growth, while Trump is
“neutral to positive for long-term gains.” (Related: Parents
rejoice as Donald Trump’s economic plan makes childcare
expenses tax-deductible while eliminating the death tax.)
484
Above all else, President Trump is proving to the entire
country that if job creation is the goal, then embracing the
free market system is the only way to go about achieving
it. Allowing the people to keep most of what they earn and
creating a healthy business environment is exactly how
you revive an economy that has been ripped apart by
liberal policies for almost a decade.
 CAUGHT IN CORRUPTION: Yahoo
Needs To Fire Michael Isikoff Or Perish
Guest Op-Ed By Jacob Engels
February 14, 2018, 12:30 Pm
While Yahoo News struggles to remain a
relevant source of political commentary,
Wikileaks exposes top shill in
Ukrainian/DNC collusion.
Over the past few weeks, the world has learned that the
basis for the FISA warrant to surveil members of the
Trump campaign was based on a political opposition
research document, crafted by a dirty spy.
The infamous “Steele Dossier” was rife with lies and
political posturing based of unverifiable and blatantly false
statements and allowed the jackboot thugs in the Obama
era intelligence community commit disgusting acts of
sedition in an effort to tilt the election for Hillary Clinton.
The Obama-Clinton partisans infecting the FBI and DOJ
used evidence they knew was fabricated, as the legal basis
for warrants to spy on the Republican candidate for
president.
When it comes to abuse of power, this makes Watergate
look like small potatoes.
To prop up their false narrative, the FBI
fed the phony dossier to Yahoo reporter
Mike Isikoff, and then used the article he
wrote as further evidence before the
court. Thus Isikoff exposed himself for
what he is; not a journalist… but a
stooge for the Deep State.
This raises a very serious question about the integrity of
Yahoo News’ investigative reporting division, which
485
Isikoff leads. This rat faced bookworm “journalist” acts as
if he is hunting down the truth using unbiased, impartial,
and verifiable information. He insists he formed his thesis
on Russian Collusion on solid intel, but nothing could be
further from the truth.
Worse yet, Isikoff was simultaneously
being “worked” by a Ukrainian with ties
to George Soros’ Open Society
Foundation, according to emails leaked
by the freedom fighters at Wikileaks.
In the email, Ali Chalupa bragged about getting Isikoff to
an event hosted by the Soros front organization that was
billed as a gathering of Ukrainian journalists, and other
Putin connected assets.
“Ali Chalupa naturally was interested on
behalf of the DNC to paint Mr. Manafort in
the most negative light possible,” Ukraine
expert Adrian Karatnycky of the Atlantic
Council told Fox News.
From: Chalupa, Ali Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 11:56 PM To:
Miranda, Luis Subject:
Re: You saw this, right?
A lot more coming down the pipe. I spoke to a delegation of 68
investigative journalists from Ukraine last Wednesday at the
Library of Congress – the Open World Society’s forum – they put
me on the program to speak specifically about Paul Manafort and
I invited Michael Isikoff whom I’ve been working with for the past
few weeks and connected him to the Ukrainians. More offline
tomorrow since there is a big Trump component you and Lauren
need to be aware of that will hit in next few weeks and something
I’m working on you should be aware of. Since I started digging
into Manafort these messages have been a daily occurrence on
my yahoo account despite changing my password often:
This proves beyond a reasonable doubt
that Isikoff not only colluded with
foreign Ukrainian assets working on
behalf of the DNC, but that he also has
close connections to Soros, an
unrepentant Nazi collaborator who
 called his time in the Hitler Youth the
“best time of his life.”
Yahoo News’ credibility as a news organization and the
integrity of their investigative team is irreparably damaged
as a result, unless they clean house and send a message to
the American people and their readers.
Anything short of removing Isikoff for his collusion with
foreign Ukrainian assets and unrepentant Nazi collaborator
George Soros will continue to harm their ability to be
taken seriously, or compete adequately with the rise of the
alternative media.
Otherwise, they will join the likes of establishment print,
television, radio, and online media as just another
embarrassing sideshow of biased and dishonest coverage
marked by a constant flow mentally deranged anti-Trump
spasms.
486
Furthermore, Isikoff should be held to account for his part
in securing an illegal wiretap, and the Trump justice
department should consider charging him as an accessory
to the Obama administrations seditious activities against
the Republican nominee for president.
If Yahoo does not terminate Isikoff, no
decent person should return his media
inquiries and he should be shunned by
decent people everywhere because the
man is a fraud.
When his upcoming book publishes, we will be at any
book signing he may hold to confront him about his
actions, and discourage anyone from buying the garage he
puts out in book form.
 Democrats Announce Plan To Protect US Elections:
Does Not Include Voter ID, But Includes Move
To Soros-Linked Voting Machines
By Jim Hoft
February 14, 2018, 2:00 Pm
House Democrats produced their report
and plan on how to protect future US
elections.
They proudly posted their plan on the
Government website.
487
They did not mention if the Pakistani Awan brothers and
wives helped them with their report.
The Democrats based their analysis on the flawed premise
that the Russians helped President Trump win the election.
Russian influence on social media was minimal.
The Russians did influence Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama
and deep state hacks with their Russian dossier that is now
linked to Putin insiders.
Curiously the Democrat plan does not
include any mention of voter IDs.
Mexico and India have voter ID laws but Democrats
understand they’ll lose too many votes with voter ID laws.

The Democrat voter plan also insists
states must move away from paper
ballots.
They pretend to be upset with Russian interference but
want to make the system more computerized?
Soros-linked Smartmatic machines are now used in 16
states.
Democrats want to make it 50!
Smartmatic, a UK based company, is a George Soros
linked company that has provided voting technology in 16
states including battleground zones like Arizona,
Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and
Virginia.
The company was formed in 2000 and a Chavez campaign
adviser was placed on the board as well.
The chairman of Smartmatic is Lord Mark Malloch-
Brown, who sits in the British House of Lords and on the
488
board of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. He
was formerly the vice-chairman of Soros’s Investment
Funds and even the deputy secretary-general of the United
Nations when he worked as chief of staff to Kofi Annan.
According to Wikileaks documents Smartmatic machines
were used to rig the 2004 Venezuela elections in favor of
Marxist candidate Hugo Chavez.
More from Wikileaks:
Smartmatic is a riddle.
The company came out of nowhere to
snatch a multli-million dollar contract in an
electoral process that ultimately reaffirmed
Chavez’ mandate and all-but destroyed his
political opposition.
 CNN's Cuomo Dismisses GOP Doubts About FBI:
'It Just Reeks Of False Equivalency To
Offset The Russia Probe'
By Ryan Foley
February 14, 2018 2:24 PM EST
CNN’s Chris Cuomo closed an interview with Rep. Jim
Jordan (R-OH) by dismissing his doubts about the FBI’s
handling of the Russia investigation as a “false
equivalency” designed to “offset the Russia probe.”
On New Day Wednesday morning, Cuomo accused Jordan
and Congressional Republicans of having an “insatiable
appetite to paint the FBI as dirty and trying to manipulate
the election to help Trump.” Cuomo obviously meant to
say either “hurt Trump” or “help Clinton” rather than “help
Trump.”
Cuomo dismissed the text messages between FBI Agent
Peter Stzrok and Attorney Lisa Page as “dialogue between
two lovers” with no relevance to the FBI investigation as a
whole. When Jordan pointed out the irrelevance of the fact
that Stzrok and Page were in a romantic relationship,
Cuomo said “It doesn’t suit your narrative. If you write
489
them off as lovers who are just bandying about B.S., your,
your story doesn’t stand up so well.” On the other hand,
the media downplays the idea of foul play in the Russia
probe because that doesn’t suit their narrative.
Later, Jordan brought up the “insurance policy” discussed
in one of the text messages, suggesting that the FBI wanted
to undermine a potential Trump administration.Cuomo
said “you don’t know what he meant by an insurance
policy and it’s just as out of context as the secret society
and all of the stupid other things that you guys...”
Jordan also raised doubts about the FBI’s handling of the
Clinton e-mail investigation, which Cuomo also dismissed.
Jordan cited Page’s comment referring to Loretta Lynch’s
decision to recuse herself from the investigation after her
infamous encounter on the tarmac of the Phoenix Airport
with Bill Clinton as “no profile in courage” because the
FBI and DOJ had no intention of bringing any charges
against in the first place. Cuomo dismissed lawyers
arguing that a strong case exists against Hillary Clinton as
“people who just want to be on TV and talk.” At least
Jordan got Cuomo to admit that the tarmac exchange was a
mistake.
The media will continue to dismiss any allegations of
impropriety against the FBI as “nefarious” while
continuing to play up the Russia narrative, even after more
than a year of investigations has yielded no evidence of
collusion.
 It Begins: CNN Analyst Demands ‘Discussion
About Guns’ With Scant Details On FL Shooting
By Curtis Houck
February 14, 2018 4:08 PM EST

Here we go again, America. Another act of evil committed
at a school and another case of liberals immediately
demanding discussions of gun control. Moments into
CNN’s live coverage, former Obama administration
official and national security analyst Juliette Kayyem and
host Brooke Baldwin demanded a “discussion about
guns” despite having minimal details about what
transpired.
“I know” and citing a seven-year-old from
South Carolina that she recently had
on CNN Newsroom: “She wrote a letter to
the President and I couldn't have put it
better. You know, the seven-year-old
said Mr. President, how are you going to
keep children safe in this country? But I
want to stay on what we know.”

At 3:16 p.m. Eastern, Kayyem first laid out the procedure
for evacuating students from the building when the shooter
may still be at large and how the school’s large size could
aid in the response due to probably being “viewed as
critical infrastructure” by local, state, and federal law
enforcement.
Kayyem wasn’t alone as a mother who had a student at
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School joined Baldwin
later in the hour and repeatedly emphasized the need for
gun control in this country that, in her mind, would prevent
school shootings from happening.
What’s so tasteless about the politics of this is liberals
immediately demand gun control of some kind following
mass shootings even if their proposals wouldn’t have
stopped certain shootings from happening again.

However, when it comes to radical Islamic terrorism, the

left and the media show zero interest in looking at the role
radical Islam has in orchestrating those awful events.

Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin, click “expand.”

She then pivoted to gun control, lamenting
February 14, 2018
“yet again, you cannot have these
conversations with at least saying every 3:16 p.m. Eastern
time we are the only nation that has this
kind of violence and presumably gun
violence, obviously, in particular
focused on our children.”
“It is just ridiculous. My daughter is
coming home from an urban high
school in the next 20 minutes. It's — it’s
like no other country lives or allows
themselves to live and here we are,
another time, having a discussion about
guns as being a security issue for our
children,” Kayyem added.

Baldwin didn’t refute a single word that Kayyem said, JULIETTE KAYYEM: So, good news is, I guess if there
fretting is some, is a high school of this size would be viewed as
490
critical infrastructure. They’ve done trainings. They’ve
probably have done lockdown trainings and so you’re
going to have chaos but in some ways also you’re going to
have at least adults as well as law enforcement personnel
who know what to do to protect as many children as
possible and so this becomes, you know, sort of part of
what Homeland Security tries to do with state, local and,
of course, with the FBI and federal law enforcement
because the shooter has not been detained and we're
assuming it's one, that also is going to add essentially
identification needs in this process. In other words, who
are you? Are you a student and are you unarmed? That's
going to slow up any evacuation process at this stage. It's
just necessary to do and then finally, Brooke, I mean, you
said it. Yet again, you cannot have these conversations
with at least saying every time we are the only nation that

has this kind of violence and presumably gun violence,
obviously, in particular focused on our children. It is just

another time, having a discussion about guns as being a
security issue for our children.
BROOKE BALDWIN: I know. I was just talking to a
seven-year-old on my show this week who lost her six-
year-old friend at a school shooting in South Carolina. She
wrote a letter to the President and I couldn't have put it
better. You know, the seven-year-old said Mr. President,
how are you going to keep children safe in this country?
But I want to stay on what we know.

blurted,

“We are expecting a briefing in the hour

We're told that the White House is actively monitoring the
situation and of course, they extend their thoughts and prayers to
those who are affected. Strangely enough this is the second alert
that this White House has had to send out today. The second
time the President briefed on a shooting, of course earlier, that

that. We are expecting a briefing in the hour from Press

 Nervous? Deafening Silence From Crooked Comey
After Bizarre Susan Rice Email Raises New
Questions About His Testimony
By Cristina Laila
February 14, 2018, 8:36 Pm

Crooked cop Comey may be a little anything from a law enforcement

nervous these days because he hasn’t
said a peep on his social media in over
a week.
James Comey recently became fairly active on Twitter and
Instagram yet deafening silence from the fired FBI
Director since Susan Rice’s bizarre email surfaced which
raises new questions about Comey’s testimony.
On Monday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley
uncovered an unusual email former NatSec Advisor to
Barack Obama, Susan Rice sent herself on January 20th
2017–Donald Trump’s inauguration day.
It was revealed Susan Rice secretly met with Barack
Obama, Sally Yates and James Comey in the Oval Office
on January 5th, 2017.
Chuck Grassley posted to his official
website Monday:
Ambassador Rice appears to have used
this email to document a January 5, 2017
Oval Office meeting between President
Obama, former FBI Director James Comey
and former Deputy Attorney General Sally
Yates regarding Russian interference in the
2016 Presidential election. In particular,
Ambassador Rice wrote:
“President Obama began the conversation
by stressing his continued commitment to
ensuring that every aspect of this issue is
handled by the Intelligence and law
enforcement communities ‘by the book’.
The President stressed that he is not
asking about, initiating or instructing
.
perspective. He reiterated that our law
enforcement team needs to proceed as it
normally would by the book.”
This meeting raised new questions about Comey’s
previous statement about how infrequently he spoke to
Obama.
Comey was very careful how he worded his statement
about his meetings with Obama.
He made sure to say “spoke alone” in
order to go around meetings he had with
Obama while others were present. What
a snake.
Transcript of his testimony via Fox News:
“I spoke alone with President Obama twice
in person (and never on the phone) – once
in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy
issues and a second time, briefly, for him to
say goodbye in late 2016,” Comey said in
his written statement.
Why didn’t Comey bring up this January 5th meeting in
the Oval Office to Congress? How many of these group
meetings did Comey participate in with Obama?
Senate
It appears Comey may have intentionally misled Congress
about this secret meeting.
Just ONE DAY after this meeting Comey had with Obama
in the Oval Office, he traveled to New York City and met
with then-president elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower
to discuss the dossier.
Comey lied to Trump’s face and told him not to worry
about the dossier and that he was not under investigation.
This is after the dossier had already been used to obtain
FISA warrants.
Comey has a lot of explaining to do; lawmakers want to
haul him back to be questioned under oath.
Is this why we haven’t seen any snarky tweets from the
disgraced FBI Director?

 Liberal Senator Chris Murphy On Senate Floor:
Epidemic Of Mass Slaughter Because Of
“Inaction” By Congress (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
February 14, 2018, 9:09 Pm

Liberal Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)
took to the senate floor today to
address the mass shooting at at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School in
Parkland, Florida.
Senator Murphy blamed inaction by
Congress for the assault.
Senator Murphy started out his speech quoting a
misleading claim of 18 school shootings so far this year.
(That’s a lie.)
Then Senator Murphy went on to blame
Congress for the attack.
“As we speak, there is a horrific scene
playing out at a high school in south
Florida. Turn on your television right now,
you’re going to see scenes of children
running for their lives, what looks to be the
19th school shooting in this country, and
we have not even hit March. I’m coming to
the floor to talk about something else, but
let me just note, once again for my
colleagues, that this happens nowhere
else, other than the United States of
America. This epidemic of mass slaughter,
this scourge of school shooting after school
shooting. It only happens here, not
because of coincidence, not because of
bad luck, but as a consequence of our
inaction.

Democrats just aren’t happy unless they can control you.

 Traitors In Congress Put President Trump's Base
In Their Crosshairs - Are Globalists Hoping To 'Round Up'
Peaceful, Patriotic Americans By Lumping Us In With
Violent Extremists In New 'Domestic
Terrorism Bill' In Congress?
The Evil We See From 'Congress Critters' With
A 20% Approval Rating Knows No Bounds
By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die
February 14, 2018

"ominous new bill is targeting millions of

peaceful Americans who identify with being
a patriot by lumping them in with extremely
rare violent hate groups".

With the left and mainstream media recently going so far

as to label anyone who supports President Trump a 'white
supremacist', might this bill be used in a sick and twisted
attempt to make sure President Trump doesn't win again in
2020 by rounding up America-loving Patriots via the
lumping of us into the domestic terror bill with those 'rare
hate groups' on the right that are actually violent?

While the Southern Poverty Law Center makes millions of

dollars off of selling hatred by labeling practically
everyone they disagree with as a 'political hate group', as
we've seen going back a decade+ since Barack Obama
came in to office and helped put Christians, Conservatives
and people who love America on DHS watch lists while
allowing a countless number of potential 'trojan horse
terrorists' into America, the globalists war upon Christians
and America continues to this day.

With Christians now the most persecuted religious group

in the world as stated by VP Mike Pence as is also
surprisingly documented by Wikipedia, in this new story
from The Organic Prepper we learn that a new bill in
Congress once again puts a target on the back of millions
of law-abiding American citizens, especially those who

take the focus off of themselves and put upon those who
love America and voted President Trump into office.
And if anyone reading this story had any doubts where ex-
president Barack Obama sat on this issue, we got a
definitive answer in this recent story from Susan Duclos on
ANP in which we see that Obama is quite literally a
'serpent in the garden', his administration full of hatred
towards whites and Christians as perfectly exemplified by
the person he chose to paint his portrait. It's clear Obama
was brought in by globalists to complete the destruction of
America which only the election of President Trump has
put off a few more years.
And while Congress (most of whom long ago sold out
America) currently has a 20% approval rating as reported
in this recent Gallup poll, should we be surprised that they
are once again attempting to target those who helped put
President Trump into office? Is it part of the globalists
plans to keep Trump out of office in 2020? As the Daily
Bell reports:
It shouldn’t be a problem that the bill
targets white supremacists. They are
after all responsible for violence,
including the tragic killing spree carried
out by Dyan Roof on a church
congregation.
But “Trump supporter” is now
synonymous with “white supremacist”
to the mainstream media. How often do
you hear people throw out the charge of
“racism!” when something has nothing
to do with race?
And while we'd hope that should this bill somehow pass
Congress, President Trump won't sign it without having
Congress making major changes to it, the fact that this bill
is in Congress and actually puts a target upon those whose
only 'crimes' are simply to love America is deeply
disturbing and follows a trend we've witnessed from
traitors in Congress who have put the interests of illegal
immigrants ahead of the interests of the American people.
497
How do these people continuously get voted into office,
over and over and over again, despite their betrayal of
Americans? And short of a full-scale housecleaning of
Congress, what can patriotic Americans do to get the
crosshairs off of us and focused back upon where they
belong, the groups actually practicing violence against
others and the traitors in Congress who've committed
treason?
As we reported just days ago on ANP, should Hillary
Clinton have somehow stolen the election, there is no
doubt that the globalists would have implemented their
'end game' to take down America, complete with 're-
education camps' for 'deplorables', no more 1st
Amendment, 2nd Amendment nor Constitution and some
form of totalitarian sharia law likely implemented
nationwide.
And while we're ever grateful that President Trump was
elected, putting off the globalists totalitarian plans for
America for at least another 4 years, we're still only 1
election away from them getting 'their' candidate into
office once again.
With the SPLC considering people such as HUD Secretary
Ben Carson and Fox News commentators Laura Ingraham,
Judge Andrew Napolitano and Judge Jeanine Pirro to be
'extremists', why are we continuing to see Christians, US
Veterans, Libertarians and Conservatives being demonized
while antifa and other leftists terror groups get a free pass?
And why are US politicians and msm 'talking heads' being
permitted to commit very real treason against our nation as
well as sedition? With radical Islam getting a free pass
from the Obama administration while the Muslim
Brotherhood was given a seat inside of Obama's White
House, it's obvious to those paying attention who the
'enemies of America within' are by looking at their hatred
of America. Yet they get a 'free pass' from this Congress if
this bill is passed. From this new story over at the Organic
Prepper titled "YOU Might Be Considered a Domestic
Terrorist If This New Bill Passes".
There’s a lot of recent history of demonization.
 And that demonization isn’t just far-right, alt-right
groups, and white supremacist groups. It’s
veterans. Libertarians. People who support the
Constitution as the governing document of our
nation. It’s Christians and people with
conservative beliefs. Basically, it’s anyone who
questions the extreme left.
Most of the people in this group are decent people
who don’t hate everyone of other races. We don’t
intend to start militias to take out the Muslims in
our neighborhoods. We want to get along and be
free to believe as we believe. We aren’t rabidly
frothing at the mouth in our bunkers, just waiting
to light up the next SWAT team that happens by
with a homemade RPG while wearing kitchen tile
body armor.
But, as journalist Matt Agorist, an honorably
discharged veteran of the USMC and former
intelligence operator, points out, it’s becoming
positively Orwellian.
And while globalists continue to attempt to paint anybody
who doesn't go along with their agenda to be some kind of
'radical', as President Trump taught the world over a year
ago, there are very real and very huge differences between
'globalism' and 'nationalism' and just because we believe
we should put America first, that doesn't mean we're some
kind of dangerous terrorists.
While globalism brought America more and more illegal
immigrants who consistently vote 'D', terrorists embedded
within our nation, and a radical socialist agenda, as Steve
Quayle reminded us of, the MIAC document from 2009
embedded at the bottom of this story proves that this
globalist agenda to demonize Christians, Constitutionalists
and Patriots has been ongoing for many many years.
498
To close, from this important story by Matt Agorist over at
the Free Thought Project:
The bottom line is that there are undoubtedly
crazy people out there who are willing to kill for
some cause they think they believe in. There have
been horrific incidents of people snapping and
killing citizens and police alike. However, it is not
the millions of other people who identify as
patriots nor the tens of thousands of militia
groups that are doing this. Yes, there are hate
groups who attack others and the government
should prevent that, but lumping everyone in with
these groups is not only dangerous but Orwellian.
It is important to note that most people who
question the state do so out of a desire to prevent
death, not foster it. People who questioned the
narrative of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq
did so because they wanted to prevent a war in
which many would die. However, they were
labeled as kooks and conspiracy theorists by the
establishment—despite being proven right years
later.
In fact, in spite having no real reason to go after
‘conspiracy theorists’ and ‘patriot groups’, the
government has a long history of infiltrating
groups and labeling those who question the
status quo as a threat. It even has a name:
PATCON, short for “Patriot Conspiracy.”
Indeed, much of the police state which has risen
up around the country is in response to the
essentially non-existent threat from those who
want to expose the crimes of the state who are
labeled as extremist groups. YouTube and Google
have even gotten in on the action and have moved
to censor evidence of US war crimes and
historical footage of war.
All this bill does is further these previous attacks
against those who want peace and freedom and it
does so by blurring the lines between real
extremists and freedom loving activists. After all,
if tyrants can associate hate and extremism with
the ideas of peace and liberty—the herd will be far
easier to keep under control and will have no
problem voting away their rights to fight this non-
existent threat.

 EXCLUSIVE: DOJ Official Bruce Ohr Hid Wife’s
Fusion GPS Payments From Ethics Officials
Luke Rosiak - Investigative Reporter
9:12 PM 02/14/2018
 Justice Department official Bruce Ohr did not
disclose Fusion GPS was paying his wife
 Ohr was demoted from his post after the
information emerged
 Willfully falsifying government ethics documents
can result in jail time
Bruce Ohr, the Department of Justice official who brought
opposition research on President Donald Trump to the FBI,
did not disclose that Fusion GPS, which performed that
research at the Democratic National Committee’s behest,
was paying his wife, and did not obtain a conflict of
interest waiver from his superiors at the Justice
Department, documents obtained by The Daily Caller
News Foundation show.
The omission may explain why Ohr was demoted from his
post as associate deputy attorney general after the
relationship between Fusion GPS and his wife emerged
and Fusion founder Glenn Simpson acknowledged meeting
with Ohr. Willfully falsifying government ethics forms can
carry a penalty of jail time, if convicted.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) hired Fusion
GPS to gather and disseminate damning info about Trump,
and they in turn paid Nellie Ohr, a former CIA employee
with expertise in Russia, for an unknown role related to the
“dossier.” Bruce Ohr then brought the information to the
FBI, kicking off a probe and a media firestorm.
The DOJ used it to obtain a warrant to wiretap a Trump
adviser, but didn’t disclose to the judge that the DNC and
former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign had
funded the research and that Ohr had a financial
relationship with the firm that performed it — which could
be, it turns out, because Ohr doesn’t appear to have told his
supervisors. Some have suggested that the financial
payments motivated Bruce Ohr to actively push the case.
500
For 2014 and 2015, Bruce Ohr disclosed on ethics forms
that his wife was an “independent contractor” earning
consulting fees. In 2016, she added a new employer who
paid her a “salary,” but listed it vaguely as “cyberthreat
analyst,” and did not say the name of the company.
The instructions require officials to
“Provide the name of your spouse’s
employer. In addition, if your spouse’s
employer is a privately held business,
provide the employer’s line of business.” As
examples, it gives “Xylophone
Technologies Corporation” and “DSLK
Financial Techniques, Inc. (financial
services).” The dollar amount does not
need to be disclosed. “Report each source,
whether a natural person or an
organization or entity, that provided your
spouse more than $1,000 of earned
income during the reporting period,” they
say.
The DOJ says,
“Financial disclosure reports are used to
identify potential or actual conflicts of
interest. If the person charged with
reviewing an employee’s report finds a
conflict, he should impose a remedy
immediately.” Its guidance says,
“Employees should always seek the advice
of an ethics official when contemplating any
action that may be covered by the rules.”
Paul Kamenar, a Washington, D.C., public policy lawyer
experienced in executive branch ethics and disclosure
laws, said,
“Based on my reading of the regulations
and disclosure guide accompanying the
form, he failed to disclose the source of his
wife’s income on line 4 by not including the
‘name of the employer.'”
“The law provides that whoever ‘knowingly
and willfully’ fails to file information required
to be filed on this report faces civil
penalties up to $50,000 and possible
criminal penalties up to one year in prison
Bruce Ohr spouse financial disclosure (DOJ)
Ohr also did not get a conflict of interest waiver from his
supervisors, suggesting that he may not have explained to
anyone the true source of the income and how it
intersected with his official involvement in the case, nor
did he have approval.
If a potential conflict is disclosed and explained to
supervisors, a government agency can grant a conflict of
interest waiver, known as a 208(b) waiver. In response to a
records request, officials told TheDCNF,
“There are no … waivers for this filer.”
Scott Amey, general counsel of the Project on Government
Oversight, said
“he couldn’t get a waiver for that. That
would have required outright recusal.”
Making it potentially even worse than failing to recuse,
Ohr’s pressing the Trump case appears to be something he
decided to do on his own, rather than something assigned
to him.
Bruce Ohr was demoted from his DOJ position shortly
after the company’s founder acknowledged in a Nov. 14,
2017, interview with the House Intelligence Committee
that he had met with him. Fox News reported in December
that Ohr had concealed his meetings with the firm from his
supervisors.
501
under the disclosure law and possibly up to
five years in prison under 18 USC 1001,”
he said. “Since he lists her income type as
‘salary’ as opposed to line 1 where he
describes her other income as ‘consulting
fees’ as an ‘independent contractor’ it’s
clear that she was employed by a company
that should have been identified by name.”
“And even with respect to her ‘independent
contractor’ listing, it appears incomplete by
not describing what kind of services were
provided. Both these omissions do not give
the reviewing official sufficient information
to determine whether there is a conflict,”
Kamenar added.
The form says,
“[F]alsification of information required to be
filed by section 102 of the [Ethics in
Government Act of 1978] may also subject
you to criminal prosecution” as well as “civil
monetary penalty and to disciplinary action
by your employing agency.”
The lack of disclosure is the latest of several examples of
people apparently trying to conceal the financial
relationship that Fusion GPS, which was funded by the
DNC, had with the family of the DOJ official.
In Fusion GPS founder Simpson’s November House
interview, he conspicuously omitted his relationship with
Nellie Ohr, painting Bruce Ohr as someone who he was
connected to independently. Investigators said,
“You’ve never heard from anyone in the
U.S. Government in relation to those
matters, either the FBI or the Department
of Justice?”
“I was asked to provide some information
… by a prosecutor named Bruce Ohr,” he
said.
Investigators said, “Did Mr. Ohr reach out
to you?”
“It was someone that Chris Steele knows
… and I met Bruce too through organized
 crime conferences or something like that …
Chris told me that he had been talking to
Bruce … and that Bruce wanted more
information, and suggested that I speak
with Bruce,” Simpson said.
Simpson also said his firm was not affiliated with any
Russian speakers, even though Nellie Ohr appears to speak
the language.
In addition to meeting with Simpson, Ohr also met with
Steele before the election.
In an earlier Aug. 22, 2017, interview with the Senate
Judiciary Committee, Simpson didn’t mention either of the
Ohrs by name. He said he had not met with any FBI
officials about the matter, without noting his contact with
the DOJ official.
Simpson suggested in court records on Dec. 12, 2017, that
the only way government investigators could have found
out about Nellie Ohr’s relationship with the company was
through its bank records.
“Bank records reflect that Fusion
contracted with Nellie Ohr, a former
government official expert in Russian
matters, to help our company with its
research and analysis of Mr. Trump. I am
not aware of any other sources from which
the committee or the media could have
learned of this information,” he said.
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a conservative
legal group that has been critical of the department’s
handling of the Trump investigation, said,
502
“This document ought to trigger an
immediate criminal investigation if one isn’t
already ongoing.”
Kathleen Clark, an ethics expert and law professor at
Washington University in St. Louis, said beyond the
disclosure issue, as far as the legal definition of conflict of
interest requiring a recusal, it could depend on whether
Ohr’s actions would have had a “direct and predictable”
effect on his wife’s income from Fusion GPS.
Kamenar said what is known as the frequently used “catch-
all” provision clearly applies, saying “Circumstances…
would cause a reasonable person with knowledge of the
facts to question an employee’s impartiality” require
recusal.
Amey said,
“As a lawyer and a top Justice official, Ohr
should know that he can’t participate in
anything related to his wife’s work … Ohr
should have been upfront about his wife’s
employment and not touched anything
related to Steele, the dossier, and Fusion
GPS.”
The DOJ’s judgment is only as good as the information
volunteered to them by Ohr, he said, and because he didn’t
list the name of his wife’s employer, they likely had no
reason to suspect it might have impacted his work.
Walter Schaub, a former government ethics czar who is an
expert on the forms and resigned after offering sharp
criticisms of Trump, declined repeated requests to weigh in
on Ohr.
Bruce Ohr did not return a request for comment, nor did
the DOJ.
 BUSTED: DOJ Official Bruce Ohr
Caught Hiding Wife’s Payments From Fusion GPS
By Joshua Caplan
February 14, 2018, 9:26 Pm
Did Fusion GPS use Justice Department
official Bruce Ohr’s wife, who was hired
to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald
Trump, to influence top government
officials? If the answer is “no,” then
why did the recently demoted Ohr hide
his wife’s Fusion GPS compensation
from ethics officials?
Daily Caller reports:
Bruce Ohr, the Department of Justice
official who brought opposition research on
President Donald Trump to the FBI, did not
disclose that Fusion GPS, which performed
that research at the Democratic National
Committee’s behest, was paying his wife,
and did not obtain a conflict of interest
waiver from his superiors at the Justice
Department, documents obtained by The
Daily Caller News Foundation show.
The omission may explain why Ohr was demoted from his
post as associate deputy attorney general after the
relationship between Fusion GPS and his wife emerged
and Fusion founder Glenn Simpson acknowledged meeting
with Ohr. Willfully falsifying government ethics forms can
carry a penalty of jail time, if convicted.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) hired Fusion
GPS to gather and disseminate damning info about Trump,
and they in turn paid Nellie Ohr, a former CIA employee
with expertise in Russia, for an unknown role related to the
“dossier.” Bruce Ohr then brought the information to the
FBI, kicking off a probe and a media firestorm.
503
“Payments from Fusion GPS to Bruce
Ohr’s family, funded by the DNC, have the
appearance of a ‘government for hire,’ i.e.
bribing a DOJ official to push the
case,” says the Daily Caller’s Luke Rosiak.
Daily Caller has more:
“The money sweetened the pot for the
Ohrs, and it certainly made it easier for
Fusion to get the dossier to be used before
the court if they made that payment to
Bruce Ohr’s wife,” former judge and Texas
GOP Rep.
Louie Gohmert told The Daily Caller News Foundation,
“Fusion had to have known that because of
the relationship between Bruce Ohr and his
wife, they were bringing Fusion, the DOJ
and the DNC together under one roof to
work for the same goal, which was to stop
Donald Trump from becoming president,”
he said.
“The financial arrangement between Mrs.
Ohr and Fusion GPS gives the appearance
of government-for-hire,” said Tom
Anderson, an ethics expert at the
conservative-leaning watchdog group the
National Legal and Policy Center. It
“appears to be a sophisticated scheme to
get access to the highest levels of our
government … ensuring the use of
government resources in an attempt to
influence an election.”
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said more attention
should be paid to Bruce Ohr in relation to the dossier
drama.
“The fact that the Senate Intelligence
Committee is bringing in Bruce Ohr, this
Justice Department official involved with
Fusion GPS and the Clinton dossier, shows
you where the collusion scandal is,” Fitton
told OANN‘s John Hines last December.
 “It’s with the Clinton campaign, the DNC,
the FBI, the Justice Department,” said
Fitton before asking, “how did they use this
dossier?”
“How did they use this dossier? Was
Mueller using this dossier? Was it used to
justify to a court to get warrants to spy on
Trump and his team?”
“That’s the collusion,” added Fitton.
“Bruce Ohr is the first indication that we
have that the Justice Department was
involved in this dossier that’s been so Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson
controversial.” recently admitted in a court document that his firm hired
Nellie Ohr, the wife of Bruce Ohr to investigate then-

 Year Two: Fake Russian Collusion Allegations,
Charges Of Mental Instability And Non-Stop Trump
Hatred Fail To Take Down The Donald
By JD Heyes
02/14/2018
Few Democrats believed a year ago that President Donald
J. Trump would still be in the White House.
Heck, not too many Republicans did, either.
They and their sycophantic supporters in the American
Pravda media and Washington establishment were certain
in February 2017 that it was only a matter of time before
the Swamp consumed the nascent presidency of the
ultimate D.C. outsider.
Between the leaks, the constant Trump hate, the
mischaracterization of everything Trump said, the Trump
Derangement Syndrome, the never-ending “Russian”
investigations, the veiled threats to assassinate him, and
the fake polls, no one else in the crowded field of GOP
presidential candidates could have withstood that assault.
No, it took a New York City business-brawler to take on
the Deep State’s finest, and Trump did exactly that. In fact,
he continues to fight them to this day and likely will have
to do so for the entirety of his presidency (which will be
two terms, by the way).
Trump could cure all cancers tomorrow, end hunger and
poverty and find a permanent solution to endless war —
and still the unhinged Left and Washington establishment
would wake up each day trying to find a new way to get
rid of him. (Related: Here’s proof that the Democrats are
505
HELPING Russia undermine our political system and
national security just to “get Trump.”)
Well, that task is becoming increasingly more difficult the
longer Trump remains in office. In fact, as we enter Year
Two of the Trump presidency, The Donald is proving to be
not just a formidable political opponent, but a president
who is moving our country forward in leaps and bounds.
Let’s start with issues that affect the vast majority of
Americans, beginning with health care. Trump and the
Republicans have been unable to repeal and replace
Obamacare as they pledged (this isn’t Trump’s fault) but
the president and his health care team have taken concrete
steps to roll back many of Obamacare’s most onerous (and
expensive) provisions. What’s more, the recently-passed
tax reform legislation actually repealed a key component
of Obamacare — the liberty-stealing individual mandate,
which forced everyone to purchase health insurance (the
first time in American history Congress forced Americans
to buy something). Next up: The president is taking on the
high cost of drugs.
As for the economy, annual GDP grew at least three
percent in three of the last four quarters, something that
hasn’t happened in decades. In fact, during Obama’s eight
years, the economy never grew three percent in a single
quarter. In fact, some are predicting that at least a couple
of quarters this year will see four percent growth, a level
many economists have previously dismissed as remarkably
out of touch.
In addition, the stock market has hit a series of new highs
over the past year, growing nearly $7 trillion during
Trump’s first year as of last month. Granted, the Dow
Jones had a roller-coaster week last week, but no one
expects massive losses here on out, only more growth. And
the $7 trillion figure is about half of what the stock market
grew during eight years of the Obama administration.
Trump also seems to be winning the political battles as
well. He managed to pass major tax reform, and recently,
after he refused to cave to Democrats’ demands for a
“clean” bill to provide citizenship to nearly two million
people in the U.S. illegally, they allowed the government
to shut down for three days recently. Most Americans (and
even most “mainstream media” outlets) blamed them, not
Trump and Republicans, for the shutdown.
Also, Trump’s polling numbers have been quietly rising
for weeks. I say quietly, because you’ll never read about
that in the Trump-hating Washington press; 48 percent of
likely U.S. voters approve of Trump’s job performance
(not the “38 percent” you’re always hearing about from the
same media that wrongly predicted a Hillary victory).
.
Trump’s not perfect, we all know that, but no one is. Yet
it’s clear he’s patriotic, he’s trying to do what’s best for all
Americans, and he’s succeeding in making America great
again, by any measure.
Trump enters year two of his presidency in good shape,
same as the country.

 Sharyl Attkisson Explains The Origins
Of The 2016 'Fake News' Narrative In Tedx Talk
By Debra Heine
February 14, 2018
In a Tedx Talk at the University of Nevada a couple of
weeks ago (watch the video below) investigative journalist
Sharyl Attkisson revealed the origins of the "fake news"
narrative that was aggressively pushed by the liberal media
and Democrat politicians during the 2016 election, and
how it was later flipped by President Donald Trump.
Attkisson pointed out that "fake news" in the form of
tabloid journalism and false media narratives has always
been around under different names.
But she noticed that in 2016, there seemed to be a
concerted effort by the MSM to focus America's attention
on the idea of "fake news" in conservative media.
That looked like a propaganda effort to
Attkisson, so she did a little digging and
traced the new spin to a little non-profit
called "First Draft," which, she said,
"appears to be the about the first to use
'fake news' in its modern context."
"On September 13, 2016, First Draft
announced a partnership to tackle
malicious hoaxes and fake news reports,"
Attkisson explained. "The goal was
supposedly to separate wheat from chaff,
to prevent unproven conspiracy talk from

chimed in.
"He insisted in a speech that he too thought
somebody needed to step in and curate
information of this wild, wild West media
environment," she said, pointing out that
"nobody in the public had been clamoring
for any such thing."

Attkisson, who has studied the manipulative moneyed
interests behind the media industry, said that "few themes
arise in our environment organically." She noted that she

Google was one of the big donors
behind First Draft's "fake news" messaging.
Google's parent company, Alphabet, was
run by Eric Schmidt, who happened to be a
huge Hillary Clinton supporter.

"offered himself up as a campaign adviser
and became a top multi-million donor to it.

"Not surprisingly, Hillary was soon to jump
aboard the anti-fake news train and her
surrogate David Brock of Media Matters

convinced Facebook to join the effort."
Attkisson declared that
"the whole thing smacked of the roll-out of
a propaganda campaign." Attkisson added,

backfired. Each time advocates cried fake

completely that even those who [were]
originally promoting it started running from
