It's a few screenshots of a document sent from Congress to Sessions, Wray, and Huber imploring them to investigate Comey, Clinton, Lynch, and others for actions that were found from ongoing investigations.

So congress wants Boente to be investigated for a crime? Isn't he the guy people here have been claiming is going to replace Rosenstein?


Like the letter, but seems very light on Lynch

Wish Rosenstein was on that list.

I can't keep up - wasn't it speculated that Huber was involved, but only speculation? If so, would this provide proof?

Or has it been publicly set in stone for a while that Huber is investigating the prior administration's activities?

Schiff came out of the woods

That billl will go about as far as his search for naked pictures of Trump.

Trump could issue blanket pardons today for every single person and there isn't anything Schiff, Mueller, and the rest could do about it.

The only way to change a President's pardon power is to amend the Constitution.

Can you say, "D.O.A." Schiff-for-brains?

I know there are RINO's we all collectively don't like but good Lord, is there anyone comparable to the spew out of Pelosi, Watters and Schiff's pie holes. You have Nancy promising to repeal the tax cuts (showing her complete lack of awareness on process) and now Adam once again showing his ignorance. I don't need to give any Maxine examples.

What a clown show.

So, a law that possibly grossly violates 4th amendment protections and would be used to extort or blackmail a president?

As someone who believes Trump is getting railroaded by the investigation and Hillary is a lying traitor...I don't have a problem with that bill if it does what he's saying it does. Now if some b.s. is attached to it, that is a different story. Anyone have more insight into the proposed legislation?

The problem is that it is idiotic to pass a law that only further empowers the very people who are maliciously and criminally trying to destroy Trump. Don't think for a minute that their motives are pure.

I'm thinking this guys lawyers ought to brace themselves to be no knocked any time

I don't know the specifics of the bill. The tweet mentions controlling the ability of the president to pardon people associated with misdeeds by the president. Go back and research how Bill Clinton abused the presidential pardon with Whitewater associated convicts.

The power to pardon is absolute. And Clinton took cash for his pardons I know.

the congressional check on abuse of pardon power is impeachment.

which is why they mostly do it on the way out the door.

If Adam Schiff's proposed Bill includes all past presidents, I have to wonder what Obama, both Bushs, Clinton, etc. would have to say?

Yeah. That's where this all looks to be heading. Think about it. Former Director of the CIA is making threats to the President. Schumer says the IC could rock Trump's world. How? SIGINT through FISA and the Five Eyes program.

Then you have the Cohen case. Note the governments position. Cohen is not practicing law, thus is little need for them to be concerned about attorney-client or work product confidentiality rules. How did they know that? Because they secretly obtained his email accounts. How did they know which accounts were his in the first place? Unmasking? British intelligence? A FISA warrant on Cohen? Did they hack his computer?

What was in the Mueller referral?? And where did he get it?

Had to sneak out of the View Studio since the criminal referral letter broke live while he was on the set.

That's not unusual for a celebrity. Should I add Loomer to my fake news thread?

Not sure if this belongs on here or the Q thread....

In a story straight out of Spy vs Spy, unusual cellular activity has been detected around Capitol Hill, and now four U.S. Senators want some answers.

A bipartisan group of senators sent a letter to Homeland Security asking for details about the cellular activity. The surveillance activity is akin to so-called stingrays that are used by law enforcement agencies to trick suspects' cellphones into revealing their locations, according to Reuters.

Last month, the Department of Homeland Security revealed that it had "observed anomalous activity in the National Capital Region that appears to be consistent with International Mobile Subscriber Identity catchers." It claimed not to know who was behind the use of the surveillance devices.
In the letter, the senators asked the Trump administration to release details about the possible surveillance. "The American people have a legitimate interest in understanding the extent to which U.S. telephone networks are vulnerable to surveillance and are being actively exploited by hostile actors," the senators wrote in the letter reviewed by Reuters.

Stingray devices mimic cellphone towers in order to force cellphones in the area to transmit "pings" back to the devices, enabling law enforcement to track a suspect's phone and pinpoint its location. FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel said at a commission meeting on Tuesday that the issue was serious and surveillance tools could potentially be in use "by foreign or criminal actors." Or, you know, the show-runners for Homeland.

1) Those wanting instant justice for many of these coupsters need to understand that despite what we "want," this is and always has been a two-part process:
*legal
*political
2) I think we have satisfied the question of whether Sessions is "on the job" & who has begun proceedings
3) We know, for example, he has a prosecutor (Huber) a grand jury in the DC area, four separate investigations into Cankles and likely a second grand jury in Little Rock to go with prosecutor Cody Hiland.

4) But I don't think the political aspect has sufficiently been addressed.
5) Weird as it may sound, since we know that these investigations have been on-going for as long as a year, how has this political angle been set up?

6) The answer is that Sessions/Horowitz have been selectively providing Congress with requested docs while cleverly holding out.
7) The result is a public show in which Congress huffs & puffs and demands more docs, DOJ drags its heels, gets all sorts of publicity for the huffing & puffing then . . .

give up the documents.

8) In the meantime, the ISSUES, the NAMES, and the STORIES become public.
9) I wouldn't say a majority of people know who Horowitz or Nunes are, but I think the % if far higher today than a year ago.

10) Today's congressional letter of a criminal referral for Cankles, Combover, etc. is CRITICAL to this type of "public education."
11) Let's say that indictments were brought without this public education process: it would be treated by all the fake news media as a "witch hunt" or "distraction."

12) But fake news, by initially seeking to ignore this stuff, did us a huge favor.
13) The public now knows names, issues, investigations. Without a public education campaign, the indictments would look 100% politicized.

14) Ironically, by supporting Mulehead's investigation, the Rs look "more" non-partisan & more balanced to average people.
15) It is almost as if Ol' sleepy Jeff was back there with his conductor's wand, directing the whole orchestra from a hidden spot in the orchestra pit.

16) Better yet, Congress, not DOJ appears to be "leading" in all these calls for investigations (despite being a year behind)
17) The left has already lost the impeachment public opinion campaign, with Trump at 50% in polls (and likely far higher). Most of the voter registration #s, the economy #s, the generic ballot #s have swung heavily in the Rs direction.
18) Retirements of never-Trumpers like Dent or milquetoast Rs like Ru Paul are opening the door for more aggressive Rs like Goodlatte, Jordan, Nunes, Gohmert, and others to speak up.

19) It is highly likely now that when the indictments come the public will be favorably disposed
20) JUSTICE FOR ALL will be the cry!

Sorry bud, but that's unusual for Comey. He ordinarily loves the cameras.

I have a feeling they'll all agree to give the past presidents a pass and only hold Trump accountable.
