Sean....get ahold of yourself. If the OIG Report comes out the "summer" Friday afternoon before the NORK Summit, you can save us all by telling us the same thing everyday for weeks starting Monday.

There's more coming out on this Sater chap. I'll have to start posting it. He was trying to work a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow with Cohen.

Sorry to ruin your breakfast.

Doesn't ruin my breakfast, pretty much confirms the contents of the **** sandwich we've been served for the past 10 years...

so do you think McCabe flips to get his pension back? Was this the play to fire him, and then bring him in to plea his retirement for the "real story"

I don't think there is a way in hell they give McCabe any kind of deal. He is worse off in this than Comey. Look how he slow walked the Clinton emails. His wife took campaign money from a huge Clinton supporter. Even Pete the Cheat and Page thought he should recuse himself from the Clinton investigation and he didn't. If those two idiots can figure it out you have to think even congress can figure it out.

They don't give a damn what he thinks he has to say. He's trying to make a deal, not the DOJ. He had his chance to come clean over a year ago. He's trying to offer an email up as a bargaining chip, an email that the NSA and DOJ already have. McCabe and his slime ball lawyer are trying to save his bacon and it's too late, he's already crispy.

Unless McCabe can produce physical evidense that incriminates Barry Obama, his goose is cooked. Grassley isn't going to grant him immunity for shiit. He can plead the fifth all he wants, the DOJ has 4 felonies with his name on it, with enough evidense to convict him of all 4 of them. McCabe's problem is he knows there is more coming down the pipe on him and he's looking for cover. Tough Shiit McCabe

Pension Back? He never lost his pension, and his wife will collect it while he's serving time. His whole losing his pension story is BS. What he lost was close to a million dollar golden parachute bonus he could have collected, had he not been fired. His retirement is still in his retirement account, he just can't collect until he turns 67, instead of starting to collect it immediately, and he doesn't get the additional moneys only his normal pension.

Wow

If grassley agrees the fix is in. McCabe takes all responsibility and the swamp goes on.

The dispute is over communications that members of the transition team had over phones and laptops between Election Day and the inauguration. After the inauguration, those phones and laptopsand the communications made over themwere handed off to the GSA for safekeeping.

Instead, when officials from Mueller's special counsel probe asked the GSA for the materials, officials at the GSA acceded to their request, turning over tens of thousands of emails, as well as laptops and cellphones.

And, according to transition officials, the GSA didn't tell the transition team about it.

---

The GSA handed over that material to Mueller without a warrant and without any notification to Trump's team.

Could this whole Russian investigation have both sides breaking the law? Could the DOJ/FBI be playing loose and fast with rules and laws to catch Trump? Could the Trump team be playing loose and fast to get any and all dirt on Hillary, even if it was using foreign actors?

Is using foreign actors somehow illegal? I really don't know but seems weird that it would be.

VaultingChemist, could we have a link to the items that you quoted ?

I would like to read the whole thing.

Yeah David A. Shive has some explaining to do about that, as well as Carol F. Ochoa the OIG for the GSA, this happened under their watch and they are both Obama appointees

The culprit Lennard S Loewentritt has been with the GSA since 1972 (46 years) definitely swampy

Trump Transition Team goes to War

Two threads on Papadopoulos, his girlfriend/wife, and Mifsud. The latter is clearly a shady operative; his 'academic' operation in Italy & the UK appears to be a CIA front IMO. The first thread is basically continued in the second thread.

Thanx

No I am not, I am simply putting it out there as a question.

My take on Mifsud was that he's more of a spook-for-hire than working for any particular nation state. Dangerous business and would explain his fear when the spotlight turned upon him and his subsequent disappearance.

As far as Papadop was concerned, he was likely working on behalf on the Brennan cabal however.

No! One act is illegal one act is not. There is plenty of evidence of the illegal acts an zero evidence of the not illegal acts.

Don't let the DNC Media fool you.

I wasn't using a media narrative I was simply throwing it out there as a point of discussion, nothing more or less.

Timing doesn't match. Are you claiming that the Trump campaign knew the FBI was deliberately tanking the Hillary email investigation in March-April of 2016?? During that time period DOJ was handing out immunity deals like skittles and every indication was that they were progressing up the food chain in Hillary, Inc. That's why it was such a shock when Comey made his July 5th statement about a reasonable prosecutor wouldn't bring a case against her.

The statement was bad enough but when Comey subsequently testified before the House committee (Chaffetz was the chair at the time) it became clear that the FBI had not followed investigatory procedures at all and had scuttled the case.

This person agrees with you. (Me, too.)

If you read the above, you will learn that Sater & Cohen were also dealing with Flynn. Just keep Sater on your radar screen...I've a feeling he is going to surface before this is over.

No IG report to read, but I did find the report on this mess trending right now how Barry assisted Iran in violating the sanctions and covert Iranian Rial into 6 billion in US currency

If it is, the DNC has a Christopher Steele problem, not to mention his Russian contacts.

Didn't get around to reading that until now. WOW! Anti-Semite much?

It is amazing to me how much Anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias there is in the intelligence community. But I guess there has long been the question of dueling "loyalties" for American Jews serving in the federal government.

Went down this rabbit hole this morning. Make sure and follow the links on Mueller's attempted sting operation on alleged Israeli spies in the Pentagon when Mueller was FBI Director. Just bizarre.

Not much, but a small leak.

Is it too early to post this?

What I get from that is that Comey's only failure was the letter right before the election and he cost Hillary the presidency. . . We all know he did much more than that but they are already trying to shape the narrative that this is what it is all about. Hillary should be president if he had followed the chain-of-command.
