I tried to explain to Dems and never trumpers how they came across with their TDS using The Caine Mutiny as an example, if they truly believed Trump was in over his head. Instead, they have largely been the selfish malicious turds we all knew them to be. Fortunately Trump seems to have adapted to the presidency faster than most had anticipated.

Holey carp!! Warren saying something complimentary about Trump? How long after do you think she gargled with Listerine to get that taste out of her mouth.

I think she caught wind of the fact that it's a done deal and she's trying to take credit after the fact "See, the only reason Kim decided to give up his nukes and provided verification was because I advised Trump to make sure of it."

Yep. There is zero chance Trump let's this thing happen in Singapore if the deal wasn't already worked out.

Uhmm, that's an, "Oh crap!" But for the people who would like to see McCabe pay for his crimes.

Oliver North problem. He was granted limited immunity for his testimony before Congress but then his convictions were later thrown out on appeal for using his immunized testimony.

This is a tread lightly moment when crafting that immunity, if prosecution for his crimes is an ultimate goal here. Chances are his crimes have been already thoroughly documented without his immunized testimony but still treacherous waters......

---

I posted that two days ago. Andy McCarthy expands HERE.

Quote:

If McCabe was being candid with the Post's readers, then it is hard to understand how he can now represent that truthful answers to the Judiciary Committee's questions could incriminate him. More likely, McCabe is trying to make himself non-prosecutable.

In 1970, Congress enacted the statute that empowers lawmakers to grant immunity, Section 6005 of the federal penal code. Essentially, if a two-thirds majority of the investigating committee approves, immunity is granted. (The Justice Department must get notice and can delay matters, but it cannot stop the immunity grant if the committee is determined to proceed.)

Though long accepted, congressional immunity is a constitutionally questionable concept. Criminal investigation and prosecution are executive functions, and they include decisions about whether to charge or to forfeit the power to charge in exchange for information that furthers other investigations and prosecutions. When Congress exercises this power, it undermines the Justice Department's ability to prosecute.

---

Quote:

---

It is true that, on the surface, the statute provides only "use immunity." Technically, this does not shield the witness from prosecution; it only prevents the immunized testimony from being used against the witness either directly (being presented against him at trial) or indirectly (as leads to locate evidence that can be used to prosecute him). In practical effect, however, use immunity can easily become transactional or even blanket immunity. It is often difficult, if not impossible, to prove that evidence purportedly unrelated to the immunized testimony was not traceable to it in some way. Consequently, if the Justice Department tries to prosecute him, the immunized witness will argue that the case is based on the immunized testimony. It is easier for a court to throw out such a case than try to sort out what is tainted and what is not.

McCabe leak investigation?

---

Senate Intel Committee leaks (Burr Warner) idiot libs are thinking Nunes Nunes Nunes and are clueless that's he's not even in the Senate. Byron Tau is working on a story that was kicked over by a couple of twitter guys that the DOJ is moving on the SPSIC

Warner may have opened up a can of worms when he formally complained that a GOP member of the committee leaked the texts of his to FoxNews. Well the DOJ wants to look into it formally, and in discovery they want a broader scope. The Senate up and unanimously agree to cooperate and now the DOJ wants to see more than just a few texts, they want to see everything. Warner/Burr are getting caught with their zippers down.

Their latest response, which is no response, there defer to the DOJ.

Quote:

---

FROM Burr and Warner: "As noted in the Senate Resolution, the DOJ has sought the assistance of the Committee in a pending investigation. The Committee is cooperating with the Department on this matter. Any questions about the investigation should be directed to the DOJ."

---

Now if you know Heckle and Jeckle these two love to stand side by side with their BS bi-partisan act and do swamp business. They are acting like they are under a gag order now, and no one on the Hill is talking.

The Twitter guys made the accusation that Warner/Burr leaked Warner's texts to give some creed to the Russia narrative, and it stirred a lot of crap up due to the fact Warner screamed collusion for months and then his texts appear to be him colluding, he tried to dumb it down and his Russian tone changed. When people started snooping for the source of the leak of his texts it looks more and more that it was deliberate. And when cornered about it by a reporter he said he suspected it was one of the GOP members of the committee to try and discredit the investigation, "but we will carry on" as he likes to say.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/01/us/politics/senate-intelligence-nunes-leaks.html

Quote:

---

Senator Richard M. Burr of North Carolina, the committee's Republican chairman, and Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat, were so perturbed by the leak that they demanded a rare meeting with Speaker Paul D. Ryan last month to inform him of their findings. They used the meeting with Mr. Ryan to raise broader concerns about the direction of the House Intelligence Committee under its chairman, Representative Devin Nunes of California, the officials said.

---

Well that's not just some passing off the cuff thing, that's a serious allegation, and people got to digging, next thing you know the DOJ is looking into it, and now that they have expanded the scope, Warner and Burr are mutes, that in itself is suspicious as much camera time as they normally like.

I posted about this the yesterday when they were trying to be all covert with this

Now Heckle and Jeckle are radio silent

And tomorrow it will be announced there will be an additional delay.

Is the hearing on the IG report scheduled for the 11th still on? Can we expect the report to drop before then if so?

---

I honestly haven't heard of any rescheduling of the hearing, just pundit speculation that it might.

I'm still expecting the report before, and I think it will be a late Friday dump. Have nothing to back that up other than history

watching Caine Mutiny on the satellite and loving it

---

So nobody will know if the OIG report has any teeth until the SDNY indictment bonanza party makes the news. Are the crimes referred before the report, head start for Grand Jury, no wait, party can start immediately after the report released?

OR like what is the next wait???...a couple of months to work the grand juries?...

In a letter to Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, the DOJ Inspector General says his report on DOJ and FBI actions in advance of the 2016 election will be released on June 14.

Thus sayeth CNN.

Didi Snavely again: GAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWDDDDDdamnit!

That report was due in March.

Good Lord so not only do they not record interviews in the FBI with key witnesses but they can delete the original 302, are you ****ing kidding me?

People need to chill out on Horowitz and read the letter

He has done the perfect thing. listed the Classified portion or support in an Appendix. This is exactly what Mark Levin was referring to earlier when he mentioned the addendum

Saves them carving up his report that makes the context unreadable with redaction. Very well done

"Assist DOJ" = watch what they are doing and how close they are getting to tracking down committee leakers.

I promise you if they expose Warner as the source of the leak on his texts, he will push it off on a staffer leak and he will be fired.

That would seem to heavily favor the defense if there is even a hint of bias in the interview process.

If Grassley is able to nail down the Flynn 302s as altered. Judge Sullivan can order Mueller to produce them to him as well. He will then come positively unglued and land on Mueller and Company with both feet. Body slam into the slammer.

Pretty sure old mule dog knows he's in trouble over this.

And this is a damning precedent to have to shoulder

Weismann has been right there in Sullivan's court and you know he knows of his past

God I hope this is Mueller right about now:

I still don't understand why his law license wasn't revoked for that.

Quote:

34. Knowing the Comey/McCabe FBI has a known history of falsifying FD-302 reports to achieve politically motivated investigative purposes, Grassley now is going to highlight how the FBI falsified the Flynn FD-302's. This is epic.

---

If this occured, how can any FD-302 report be trusted?

Well, the big question becomes: What did Mueller know, and when did he know it? If he knew prior to the Flynn guilty plea, I assume he (& anyone else on his team who knew) would be subject to disbarment for a horrific ethics violation. If Mueller didn't know until after the guilty plea & prior to Judge Sullivan's demand for exculpatory evidence, then I guess he gets off with a blemish. Neither Mueller nor Weissmann signed Flynn's guilty plea document; Van Grack & Ahmad did.

At the tail end of this article, there are links provided wherein info on the OIG Report will be posted.

Well I'm disappointed by the delay ONCE AGAIN, but at least we have what seems to be a pretty firm date.

Happy Birthday, DJT!

Hmmm, this is curious

TCTH thinks the leaker is former Feinstein aide Dan Jones -- I've seen tweets from other people suggesting the same. This would be glorious if true. Jones is the one who likely perturbed Feinstein into leaking Simpson's transcript where the 'informant' use was outed, Jones also was in a Warner text to Waldman/Deripaska, and Jones operates the Penn Quarter Group which is/was connected to funding parts of the Steele dossier and perhaps some more shenanigans.

I've seen the same thing but I think slimy little Warner is complicit

The disinformation defense has begun

Funny as old as this letter is it's just now popping up in public
