I promise this is the last time I post such a ******ed comment on this tread. I love seeing 33 new posts in my watchlist for this tread only to get 10 stupid comments like mine above. Stop messing with my nonfiction real-time thriller people. Stick to the plot though gratuitous praise for our worthy contributors is welcome with any relevant comment or question.

She expounded in her typed memo. "The Russians have succeeded in placing an agent inside the DNC," she quoted Steele as saying.
Now let's examine that for a moment. Putting aside that Steele is the questionable source here, Steele is saying this in October of 2016, months after the DNC was supposedly hacked. Wouldn't the FBI want to investigate as being the origin of the hack?

Maybe give a defensive briefing to Donna Brazile, then Acting Head of the DNC? At least request to see a list of persons on the DNC payroll? Go back to CrowdStrike and ask more questions about their findings? Maybe look at the servers themselves?

Did they do anything other than ignore it?

So DNC colluded with Russia?

Andy McCarthy weighs in on the Nadler contempt of Congress mess HERE.

Takeaway, he doesn't think they'll actually pursue it further than a full House vote. I think he's overly optimistic that reason will prevail and they'll stop.

Agree. Whatever they're conjuring, it must muddy election season.
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

No .... because by Oct-16 the FBI finally figured out that Steele was a nut-job ... albeit a useful nut-job.

I don't think they'll full stop, just keep delaying things. That way they can yap about it incessantly for a while longer without actually DOING anything.

That's even worse, since Lisa Page and McCabe needed to involve the White House to get DOJ to move on the application. By doing so, they made the White House complicit in the fraud.

Not disagreeing but their risking the longer they delay...the more bored the public will become and ever more stale the ridiculous hype. I know I am, 'bored' that is.

Yep and IMHO ... it's just exhibit #2367 in the case of the US Government vs <list of names> on criminal charges of Conspiracy to Defraud the US Government, 923. 18 U.S.C. 371.

Even Jonathan Turley thinks Nadler's contempt of Congress charge against Barr is on very shaky ground.

Bad facts make bad case law and in this case could actually hurt the House, in his assessment.

Going back to the Solomon article:

Quote:

Kavalec's handwritten notes clearly flagged in multiple places that Steele might be talking to the media.

"June -- reporting started," she wrote. "NYT and WP have," she added, in an apparent reference to the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Later she quoted Steele as suggesting he was "managing" four priorities -- "Client needs, FBI, WashPo/NYT, source protection," her handwritten notes show.
Those same notes suggest Steele spun some wild theories to State, including one that the Russians had a "plant in DNC" and had assembled an "HRC dossier," apparent references to the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
She expounded in her typed memo. "The Russians have succeeded in placing an agent inside the DNC," she quoted Steele as saying.


This is really important 'intel'. A great big flat clue regarding the hacking/leaking of the DNC server emails. You mean to tell me that the FBI (Strzok & McCabe) ignored this. Just 'wow'!
This brings up one other point. There is more than one dossier. Suppose the above info was in a separate report Steele gave to the FBI. His initial dossier report talks about the Russians having a dossier on Hillary, but it doesn't say anything about a spy in the DNC.

Normally, the FBI looks askance at "different versions" attributed to the same source. Tends to militate against their credibility. When a source is all over the place, even with developing information, they correct earlier erroneous assessments...to bolster their credibility. How it works.

Again, the timing here. Steele didn't talk to Kavalec until October 2016. His crappola reports had been circulating since June. Any actual intel person would correct the record for past misinformation they vouched for as being credulous.

di Genova was just on Lou Dobbs' show. He said that Horowitz has now determined that the 3 FISA extensions on Carter Page had been obtained illegally. Still working on the initial FISA application, but the Kavalec memo & handwritten notes had been hidden from Horowita & he has just learned about them.
di Genova also said that Wray is best friends with Mueller & Comey, is an empty suit that doesn't want any conflict, & that he came from the same legal firm where Sally Yates went to work after she left the DOJ.
I'm sure the video clip of this interview will surface.

I love de Genova, but like all talking heads (and that's what Joe is right now) I'll put more stock in his comments once a few of the prognostications come to pass. I do tend to believe him on Wray, and can't imagine him being a good leader. Of course, I came to that conclusion a while back.

Like you Doc, when reading the Kavelec notes, I might as well be reading cyrillic letters. I do wish Page and Flynn would lawyer up with good attorneys and suit the absolute crap out of those responsible.

Translation of Kavalec's handwritten notes.
Unexpected names mentioned:
Sergei Millian is mentioned several times
Browder
New names:
Tatyana Duran, co-worker of Steele
Rybolovlev, presumably the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev
Mikhail Kalugin, Russian diplomat
Trubnikov, presumably Vyacheslav Trubnikov, Director of Russian Foreign Intelligence

There are other new names, some with ? spelling, I have no clue as to who they may be.

Here is a partially or less redacted version of Kavalec's email memo.

https://www.scribd.com/document/409364009/Kavalec-Less-Redacted-Memo

Considering Steele's dossier has been fully published, why are there redactions in this report since it initially classified as unclassified? Specifically there are 2 paragraphs near the beginning that are totally redacted for national security reasons. Methinks this is a coverup to protect somebody.

Pelosi is desperate. She is now saying that "Trump is goading us to impeach him". If she can convince her Dems Trump wants himself impeached, she can get them to drop it. Kindergarten politics 101, do opposite of what Trump wants. It would be funny if it wasn't true.

FWIW, Dan Bongino is running with the theory that Strozk, Page, et al. were essentially played by Brennan and others in the IC. I'm still open to the idea that Brennan was running the op from day 1 and the folks in the FBI let their hatred for Trump bias them enough that they didn't question the intel that Brennan was feeding them. Then, when the Steele Dossier came to them, it confirmed all the "intel" that Brennan had been telling them, so they thought they had a sure thing. Bongino lays out this theory again starting at 11:30 here:

I agree that Brennan is heavily involved and he is going down for this. I believe he will eat a bullet before he reports to prison and he'll leave behind a note extolling what an American hero he is.

Yeah, there is something wrong with Burr through all of this. Warner seemingly runs the show and Burr sits back like a scared mouse.
I live in North Carolina and I have been astonished with his committee and behavior for a long time. Something is wrong? Blackmail makes a lot of sense but who knows?

When his term is up he needs to either not run again or the Republicans need to primary his ass.

Maybe he had some role in the dossier or promotion of it as well (like McCain) and he's deflecting in anticipation of the IG report. Was he ever labeled a never trumper ? It's just plain odd.

More on Giuiani's trip to Ukraine ... 'operation boomerang' just getting started.

The Hill: Giuliani traveling to Ukraine to push for probes that could be 'very helpful' to Trump

Quote:

The Times reported that the meeting's goal is to try to undermine the credibility of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe as well as the case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Trump's allies are also reportedly seeking information that could hurt Biden, who has led recent polls for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Such inquiries were previously launched by the administration of current Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who lost a recent reelection bid to political newcomer Volodymyr Zelensky. The new Ukrainian president will take office June 3.

Giuliani last week called for an investigation into Biden for his previous actions in Ukraine after a New York Times report on the former vice president's dealings with the country.

In 2016, Biden reportedly threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees unless the country removed a top prosecutor, who was later voted out. Biden's younger son, Hunter, was a board member of an energy company that the prosecutor had been looking into, according to the newspaper.
