Who now thinks that Sharyl Attkisson Chief Justice John Roberts wasn't spied on? This corruption goes to the heart of the Obama regime, the DNC, and Hillary and her den of thieves. If big names do not get serious jail time, our rule of law as well as our republic is lost. We are a banana republic if that happens.

A pattern of corruption, unethical behavior, and law-breaking that goes back to Jack Ryan in the 2004 Illinois Senate race.

The only way to root out corruption is to go on the offensive against it.

Let the inspiration come from The Untouchables, break down the door covering it all up, and let the public know exactly what this trash was up to.

They are going to try to hide behind "national security." As this now represents an attack on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the need to protect so-called "national security" interests falls well below the need to protect the Republic from domestic enemies within our government and within the Democratic Party.

This is just Hollywood, enemy of the state level craziness now. Only thing left to expose is murder carried out against poltical opponents... which I would have thought was not even a possibility two years ago.

Is that a joke? Have you seen the list of radically, wildly incongruous deaths surrounding the clintons for instance?

It's not a joke... I'm not talking about one family. I'm talking the IC being weaponized and murdering political opponents on several occasions.

Yeah, we know about Arkancide But all of the other "incidents" (Seth Rich, Scalia, and many others) have now moved from conspiracy to probable in my mind. Maybe I'm late to the red pill party...

Motion denied

So in an interview with the media in March 2016, Trump revealed likely members of his campaign's foreign policy team.

"...Trump's announcement did not go unnoticed at the FBI and Justice Department. The bureau knew Page from a previous episode in which Russian agents had tried, unsuccessfully, to recruit him. It's not clear what the FBI knew about the others. But then-Director James Comey and number-two Andrew McCabe personally briefed Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the list of newly-named Trump foreign policy advisers, including Page, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter."


You have to suspend disbelief to accept that the number one and number two guy at the FBI would be so concerned with a rumored member of a presidential candidate's foreign policy advisory team that they would go and meet with the AG about it. They were looking for an excuse to justify what they wanted to do and they found it.

Seems like I read this on another thread, but hadn't the CIA been using Page for counterintelligence operations prior to his work for Trump? If so, then of course he could have potentially had Russian contacts. Seems like in Page they found their very weak alibi to either begin or ratchet up surveillance of the Trump campaign. These scumbags should hang.

Manafort defense targets Mueller prosecutor Weissmann

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's defense is going after one of special counsel Robert Mueller's top deputies in a bid to persuade a federal judge to order a hearing into leaks to the media.

In a court filing Monday night, Manafort's attorneys singled out prosecutor Andrew Weissmann over a meeting he attended with The Associated Press in April 2017 about a month before Mueller was appointed to take over the Trump-Russia investigation. At the time, Weissmann headed the fraud section of the Justice Department's Criminal Division.

The precise nature of the session with the AP reporters is unclear, but it came a day before the news agency reported that financial records showed Manafort actually received payments attributed to him in a so-called black ledger of secret Ukrainian government compensation.

Manafort's defense attorneys suggested the episode makes Weissmann a logical suspect as a source for anonymously sourced press accounts about the Manafort probe....

Consider the following scenario. The CIA plants page in the campaign. FBI plants Halper. Halper approaches page. Fbi uses Halper's info to "confirm" dossier for FISA warrant.

Halper... you can't make this stuff up:

After the 1980 race, Halper was caught up in a scandal concerning alleged political spying. Aides to Reagan, including Halper, were accused of having spied on Carter's campaign and obtaining private documents that Carter was using to prepare for a debate. Some Reagan White House officials later alleged that Halper had used former CIA agents to run an operation against Carter. Halper called the reports at the time "absolutely false" and has long denied the accusations.

Page was an FBI informant 2013-2016. From Page 378 of our blog:

Quote:

...In 2013 the U.S. Department of Justice, Southern District of New York, announced an indictment against a Russian Operative Evgeny Buryakov. LINK HERE In March of 2016 Buryakov pleaded GUILTY: Carter Page was an FBI cooperating asset in 2013, and remained the primary FBI witness through May of 2016 throughout the duration of the Buryakov case.

It makes a lot of sense, and if true it's just sickening. It's truly like an intricate spy novel where the bad guys have gained control and fate of the nation is at stake. When Trump got elected I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole went or how much trouble we were in.

Just keep in mind you're going to reach very few leftists/progressives. They have very personally and deeply internalized their dogma and beliefs, and that comes with a strong sense of moral righteousness. They believe they are in the right, and their dogma is ethical and moral. When they come to a conflict between their dogma's supposedly nearly infallible ethical superiority and real world circumstances that challenge the validity of their beliefs, they are often at a loss, and fall back on one of two positions: denial of uncomfortable aspects of truths of the reality they face so that an alternative "perspective" of reality can be adopted, or rationalizing that immoral means will be justified by moral ends. Plain evidence and clear arguments have difficulty prevailing against people who are too distressed at having their fundamental beliefs challenged to objectively consider that information without dismissing it.

It doesn't matter the source of the news whether it be Breitbart or the National Enquirer or People.

The real question is this. Is it factual, is it based on facts and truth that can be substantiated? Of course Gobles type propaganda, Will try to reframe and twist or reveal half truths to mislead.

On that specific article they site specific info that clearly happened. One should not say well it's Brietbart and therefore biased. Facts are facts. they give some facts and those facts raise real questions.

That still bugs the crap out of me. Rosenstein is admitting it happened but is using ye olde "intent" escape clause. Since he was a signatory to at least one of the applicable FISA warrants (that we know of) he is saying his "intent" was pure. IOW, he was duped.

This is a gigantic conflict of interest as Rosenstein will clearly be under the IG's investigation, yet the IG has to report back to him. Where are the statements from the ethics officials at DOJ who have cleared Rosenstein's participation in this? At a minimum, Rosenstein's statement should have included his consultation with them as a part. And maybe Rosenstein is just a useful idiot who was out of the loop. But he should be caught up to speed by now. In either event, he is one of the primary witnesses in both the original and expanded IG probe.

---

Wouldn't he report to Sessions? Did Sessions recuse himself from IG?

Finally, Trump and his Republican allies have commenced firing and are firing at will. With all this ammunition being brought to the Front, they need to be relentless and overwhelm these SOB's.Trump should wait about a month to let more of the revelations of illegality come to light, and then as a Knock Out Punch, order Jeff Sessions and Dan Coats to have Michael Horowitz & Michael Atkinson Investigate the DOJ / FBI / and IC all the way back to the beginning of the Obama Administration. That should do it !

Latest talking point from CNN & MSNBC

"When the FBI receives information that Russia may be infiltrating the Trump campaign... what are they supposed to do, ignore it???"

Of course they didn't elaborate on the nature of the information and who paid for its compilation!

Unreal the level of propaganda and dishonesty these folks are willing to spew... Party before country!

Wow, the FBI received that explosive information about Russia infiltration in the Trump campaign and Strzok must have texted Page about it, right? Right?

Swallowswell was on Tucker Carlson spewing more of his idiocy. Doubled and tripled down on the "Trump asked Russia to help get Hillary's emails" as evidence of collusion. Couldn't find it on YouTube yet. Starts about 15 minutes into the show.

Vegas, there are folks that take a little time for me to decide what kind of person they are, especially politicians who are often singing the tune of the party, or what they believe their constituents support, but Swallowswell is one that was easy to viscerally dislike---immediately.

I don't think even his momma liked him by age 7 or so.
