I don't know either. I agree they probably do have access to login and see it.

They can't admit to it however. It needs to be laundered through a 3rd party so everyone can claim it was 'hacked', rather than Twitter is a partisan weapon.

Uncanny, isn't it? Peter Strzok is the perfect fix it guy. And I'm not convinced that he and Page were lovers.

I am starting to think they weren't either. If you look at the one article defending them talking about using another means of cinnnunication it was most likely sourced by Page.

You said it. It is some BSC type stuff I normally wouldn't believe, but with everything that seems to be playing out and all the "coincidences" I have a hard time doubting it at this point.

This is $MM dollars documented/accounted, under the light , in view...but when the system of checks and balances of US government can be "gamed" to the tune of $1,400,000,000 BILLION CASH stacked on pallets and sent to Iran with ZERO oversight, checks; shines light on the bambamarama level of corruption.

Bamarama was running a corruption machine in 'BEAST MODE'

I don't know if any of you caught Hannity last night, but he said Sarah Carter (she's left Circa and is now with Fox News full time) is going to release a report on Andrew Weissman next week. Sounds like it's something else we have to look forward to. I haven't heard much of him here lately, but he's Mueller's no. 2 guy.

They might reference gmail if they are dealing with communicating between multiple public and private accounts, each knowing which specific account the other is referencing. I've said things like this to my wife since we have work and private accounts.

The interesting thing is if they accessed their personal email from their office, it goes through government servers which make the emails visible to the IT folks without any warrant needed. This is true for anyone who accesses their personal email from work, You can legally expect zero privacy because you are using your company's (or agencies) email servers..

^^^^ Ditto. My wife and I will text each other during the day "check Gmail" meaning I sent you something to your personal account (not work). Often because it is something private that we do not want showing up in our work email.

Not 100% true. You have to execute a MITM attack. Most browsers detect those today. You can use signed certs but the privacy angles can be tricky. Better policy is to block webmail from work networks, which I think the DOJ and FBI do. Doesn't mean they could use cell phone or personal networks to access gmail.

It's the equivalent of saying "let's take this offline/private" so it is off the record and harder to get at. Pretty much everyone with work and private accounts does this. The wife and I work for the same company so we might have casual chats over the company system but switch to our private accounts for any more personal matters.

I value your opinion. I really do. I watch lots of threads and I typically star what you say. But, come on. Put your analytical vision on this. It's too convenient. "I gmailed you." Who says this? Really, when is the last time you said "Hey, I just yahoo'd you." Nobody does this.



All government e-mail is archived so that it can be made available for FOIA, and believe me, there are scads of FOIA e-mail requests...just ask Judicial Watch. Every government employee knows this. So if you want to communicate with someone about a personal/private matter, you do it via non-government e-mail. If you wanted to communicate with someone about a nefarious/illegal/improper activity, you certainly wouldn't want to do that via government e-mail...but...unless if you think you will never be caught, meaning your superiors would approve of what you are doing.... Then in the case of Strzok & Page, they had a special reason to communicate via private channels, gmail being one way. Notice that we have not seen any texts concerning the amorous relationship between the two...they knew that the FBI separately recorded text messages, and likely they didn't want it locally known they were into undercover activities. I may be proven wrong, but I suspect nothing about their illicit affair will be found in the texts other than possible references to unscheduled meetings. Likely all such communications occurred via non-government phones and gmail, including IM gmail comms.
The reason we haven't seen texts of a personal nature, I think, is because the DoJ isn't releasing them.

"The department is not providing text messages that were purely personal in nature," Boyd wrote. "Furthermore, the department has redacted from some work-related text messages portions that were purely personal. The department's aim in withholding purely personal text messages and redacting personal portions of work-related text messages was primarily to facilitate the committee's access to potentially relevant text messages without having to cull through large quantities of material unrelated to either the investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server or the investigation into Russian efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election."

I don't think we will see anything that would confirm they had an affair.

Well that makes sense. I can also see that the committee and public really doesn't need to see personal embarrassing texts that have nothing to do with the investigation. Kind of a privacy thing. I realize they texted on government issued phones so no expectation of privacy, but still do we really need to see their lovey dovey stuff? Not really.

As some have suggested, this is Watergate on steroids. Not only do we have one party colluding with government agencies to keep its candidate from being prosecuted for her crimes and preventing the election of the other party's candidate, but we also have a sitting and corrupt President using the powers of his office to subvert an election and hand-pick his successor.

Lock her up. Lock him up too. Lock them all up.

Quote:

Executive Order Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption -- Issued on: December 21, 2017

...I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

I hereby determine and order:

Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in...

Clearly this EO is going to be used to seize assets related to the Mexican & foreign drug cartels, and regarding human rights abuses the Clinton Foundation is likely going to fall under scrutiny of this EO (think Haiti & money laundering), but buried in the details is this little tidbit:

Quote:

(1) corruption, including the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources, or bribery; or;

Uh-oh! Bingo! Uranium One!


I think Trump & Sessions put together this EO to provide a method of seizing the assets of the Clinton Foundation & entities related to Uranium One when the indictments are launched following the respective investigations, and in the future you are going to hear about it as the chips are cashed regarding the CF & U1. But it's really a much bigger deal than my two cents above. This EO has already named a number of foreign individuals to whom this EO already has been applied, and guess what...some of these these individuals have been sleeping with the Clintons and Obama. Oh yes! You need to learn about that. It's covered in the thread below as well as an overview of the EO:

Quote:

On Wednesday, as Republicans were clamoring to make public a secret document that they think will undercut the investigation into Russian meddling, President Trump made clear his desire: release the memo.

Trump's directive was at odds with his own Justice Department, which had warned that releasing the classified memo written by congressional Republicans would be "extraordinarily reckless" without an official review. Nevertheless, White House chief of staff John F. Kelly relayed the president's view to Attorney General Jeff Sessions though the decision to release the document ultimately lies with Congress.

Kelly and Sessions spoke twice that day in person during a small-group afternoon meeting and in a phone call later that evening, and Kelly conveyed Trump's desire, a senior administration official said.

As for American citizens caught up in this, don't have to go thru the due process of law before their assets are seized ?


This EO seems too broadly written to be limited to foreign bad actors. The government could swoop in and snag anyone's assets (without due process) including any American's assets.

Read section (iii) of the EO. There is no due process. The POTUS cannot just make his own rules/laws and then enforce them w/o going thru Congress


This bothers me greatly.

It should bother you. O did a hell of a lot of this, and no one paid attention to it. I remember the "tell on your co-worker" mantra for the intelligence agencies. I hate it.

Not knowing who you are, or where your passions lie, it's possible you may have an issue just because it's Trump. There are a lot of Dems who've suddenly found human rights, and investigative reporting.

However, as Drcrinum said, if you're a citizen dealilng within the law, you're okay. But, it seems to have lots of leeway to do bad stuff.
