Mueller unzipped his fly when he went this route playing redaction games with Rosenstein. Grassy just put their dicks in a vise and is waiting for them to move now.

---

I assume Mueller is smart enough to know when and how to play his cards.

Why on earth is he trying to play the redaction game with some of the judges he's in front of? Specifically Ellis? Anyone with a law license that's been in a 100 mile radius of that court house knows this.

This is where i get lost. Mueller isn't stupid. And this is more than a blunder. Ellis is going to put that memo on the docket.

---

Oh believe me I just shake my head. Mueller is supposed to be a top lawyer, and this looks like they are intentionally throwing the game so to speak. Ellis has to be baffled that these seasoned prosecutors are doing this in open court on a case they've been working on for a year.

That's what keeps me looking back thinking Mueller in on it with Trump and they are scuttling their own ship to drown the rats. That meeting with POTUS with Rosenstein, they day before Rosenstein appoints him SC. The WH claimed he was interviewing for the FBI Chief again, and that has to be 100% BS, he had just been Bureau Chief for 12 years, no way he was there for that. That meeting and the timing to his appointment to SC still puzzles me and gives me pause.

Wonky timeline ... or am I missing something?

So, if the FBI initiated the counterintelligence investigation July 31, 2016 based on an earlier Brennan "EC" referral .... and Stefan Halpert's first known outreach to the Trump campaign was in September 2016 (Papadopoulos) .... how does the <redacted name> in the originating EC fit Stefan Halpert?

this is exactly what gives me pause. I might take a look at the E.D. Va. general orders to see if there is a standing division of labor order that pushes particular subject matter to certain judges. If this was venue shopped by division, it would be super obvious but I think it's just Richmond division so it goes into the hopper for random assignment (unless there is a subject matter breakdown).

Otherwise I'm at a loss.

The latest from TCTH. Elaborates more upon Halper & repeats a lot of earlier commentary. One thing I don't recall seeing: TCTH is saying that Brennan wrote the EC that the FBI used to initiate the counterintel investigation. I don't understand this because Nunes stated there was no formal intel report accompanying the EC. Someone please check me out on this.

---

I don't think Brennan is/was concerned about little things like laws, rules, or protocol.

None of them thought Hillary would lose. In their minds, there was nothing to get caught doing. They had and were going to have control of the White House, the DOJ, the FBI, NSA, CIA, etc. Plus, Brennan is a communist. I have no doubt he was and is operating at someone else behest.

Remember, he publicly gave credence to the whole mess with his comments about "17 agencies," which was stupid when he said it (only liberal idiots bought it), and we now know it was a blatant lie.

I think Brennan was one of the lead government puppet masters of this whole charade. I hope he faces the full consequences of the law for his actions. They should put his head on a pike beside the Potomac Bridge as a reminder of who federal employees work for.

Halper met with Carter Page in London 4 days following Page's speaking engagement in Moscow in early July 2016 -- invited him to attend a symposium. That meeting actually predated (by circa 2 weeks) the initiation of the formal FBI counterintel investigation which began in late July (?July 31).

Is Lou Dobbs tonight a rerun this evening on fox business? It didn't say it's previously recorded (and time stamp is accurate) but he's saying Nunes and Gowdy get to see the copy of EC tomorrow... also has Chris Ferrel of judicial watch on saying the scope memo is going to be release anytime now because of their efforts and judge Ellis.

Anyone know if this a new development for Nunes and Gowdy or is this old news?

Another Brit outed with links to UK intel = Robert Goldstone. Remember him? He was the one who contacted Donald Trump Jr about arranging a meeting with the Russian attorney Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in June 2016. Overtones of a Brit entrapment scheme? Involving Fusion GPS? FBI?

Christopher Steele -- former MI6, dossier architect
Richard Dearlove -- former Head of MI6, consulted by Steele on the dossier
Joseph Mifsud -- linked to Brit intel, feed Papadopoulos info about Russians having HRC's emails
Alexander Downer -- Aussie Ambassador to UK, linked to Hakluyt, talked with Papadopoulos
Stefan Halper -- suspected FBI source meeting with Trump Campaign people in London; Hakluyt affiliated
Robert Hannigan -- Director of GCHQ, communicated directly with Brennan/CIA about Trump Russian collusion

It was the Brits, not the Russians! This is ridiculous.

The Deep State Mob Targets Nunes

In an absurd tweet on Wednesday, Lawfare's executive director suggested that Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) should be replaced as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee:

Quote:

That wasn't even the most moronic tweet in Susan Hennessey's arsenal. She went on to warn how "the intelligence oversight system is based on trust. Without trust it is irretrievably broken. The [Intelligence Community] and [Department of Justice] don't trust Nunes and he cannot perform his job functions." Get that? The Intelligence Community and the Justice department -- which have proven to be as political and devious as a Chicago ward boss -- are the white hats and Nunes is the black hat.

That is not ignorance on Hennessey's part: it's calculated deception....

It will be interesting to see how the media covers the initial release of the OIG report. Remember, they breathlessly broke into all network programming to announce the Russian indictments, which we now know are likely bogus or proved to be insignificant.

If the OIG report is anywhere close to what we think it is and the MSM ignores it or barely covers it I think it will be the most damning evidence yet of media complicity.

Of course if indictments rain down they will be forced to cover and spin like they never have before.

Gonna be lots of outrage when the oig report whitewashes all this activity. Then what to do?

Anything is possible. If that were to happen, the dems would be voted out of office in record numbers. They know that and their strategy now is to cut their losses. They are going to let Comey go to jail. They may let Mueller go also.
Their goal now is to protect Obama and the Clintons. Cheryl Mills, Susan Rice, Brennan, Clapper, Rhodes, Huma, Kerry among others may be toast. This went off the rails when Trump was sworn in as POTUS. It became a serious crime to undertake taking down a sitting President. It is called a coup. The crimes were probably treason, sedition and conspiracy to commit those crimes. They may be charged with less, but they are facing some tough time.

The. big issue now for the dems is the 2018 elections and 2020 presidential race. The OIG report and fallout are probably going to be very difficult for them.

One takeaway. Trump is Avery bright man. He doesn't drink. He doesn't sleep. He is an adept negotiator. He does not allow others to set the agenda. He has delivered on campaign promises multiple times. I have known several successful business people with similar personalities. He is not a politician. He is a very astute and unrelenting businessman.

There are things about him that I don't care for, but Hilary never had a chance. Now the dems have got to figure out a way to get out of the biggest crime spree in American history. There is blood in the water.

What the hell are. Rosenstein and Mueller thinking? They are thinking like swamp creatures. This is the biggest crime in the history of our country.
