Nunes was on Fox this morning. He asked a question: How do the Brits & Aussies know what's in the redacted FISA on Carter Page when Congress and the American people don't know?
That's what alan Dershowitz has been pushing for for 2 years, instead of another special counsel. Like they did for the 9/11 Commission. But even then, not sure they could get a nonpartisan commission unless they get people that have never been in government. I think the 9/11 Commission covered up a ton of shortcomings from the Bush and Clinton administrations, because there were people sounding the alarm in advance and no one was listening or chose not to and were ignoring it.We fixed the keg said:
Thank you for posting this, Adam seems to be a very solid guy.
It seems like an "easy" option here would be for the president to impanel a special agency made up of investigators outside of the DOJ, FBI, etc as a tip-line if you will. Put the full court press on these people. Also offering protection and immunity where warranted.
POTUS was a driving force with the Brexit movement, he was on record speaking out about Brexit back in the initial planning of the Turnberry Country Club/Golf Course in Scotland way back in 2013. The Crown loyalists hated him back then. You can bet the minute he came down that escalator they started digging on him then.drcrinum said:
My question is: Were the Brits initially responsible for manipulating Brennan into plotting against Trump, or was it Brennan manipulating the Brits into assisting in overthrowing Trump? If it was the latter, then why would the UK be so concerned about such a revelation? I am beginning to suspect that not only were the Brits in on the scheme from the beginning, but they initially may have planted the seeds to hatch the plot.

But the fact of the matter was they were using the FVEY relationship and the NSA database to do it. That's a big problem.VegasAg86 said:RoscoePColtrane said:POTUS was a driving force with the Brexit movement, he was on record speaking out about Brexit back in the initial planning of the Turnberry Country Club/Golf Course in Scotland way back in 2013.

They don't have our pesky constitution and he's not a citizen, so there were likely no restrictions on what they could do surveillance wise. Yet there's still no evidence of collusion.

The New York Times's story is inaccurate and factually incorrect. . . . I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Let's parse this.
- The Times story "is inaccurate and factually incorrect." Rosenstein won't say exactly what is wrong in the report. He is careful not to say that the gist of the report is wrong he just hopes that, if he sounds indignant enough, you will hear it that way. The Times may have gotten a few details wrong, but you can bet the story is essentially true.
- You can't trust "anonymous sources": this from the guy who, in approving a FISA warrant application to spy on an American political campaign, relied on anonymous sources some of them Russian operatives who were channeling information through a foreign spy from whom the Justice Department continued to take information even after telling a federal court that the spy had been cut out of the investigation for leaking to the media.
- And my favorite: Rosenstein knows "there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment" against President Trump. Of course, that does not respond to what the Times report actually says, which is that back in May 2017, when he was an emotional wreck because Democrats were being mean to him, Rosenstein urged that there might at that time be a basis to remove the president under the 25th Amendment (specifically, Section 4) if he could get enough top officials to agree that Trump was unfit to discharge his duties.
I would love it for Rosie to waltz into the oval with his cocky ass and say just that. Trump could simply look at him and say, "I'm not going to fire you. It's going to be excellent press when the US Marshall's perp walk your ass from your office you little twerp."drcrinum said:
So is this another episode of Fake News? Or a leak sting? Or...

Fox has a live camera on the White House driveway. Lots of folks reporting he is headed there, but who knows why or who he would be meeting with if Trump is not there.
Judge Nap on Fox now saying if RR is fired/resigns, his new job would be Noel Francisco, Solicitor General and former clerk to Scalia.
No I don't think that is exactly right, just that if RR is gone, Mueller's new boss would be NF. NF would not move into RR's position, he would just be reporting to NF until another Deputy AG is confirmed.AgInTheColony said:Tailgate88 said:

Are you trying to say that Noel Francisco would replace RR?

- Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is resigning, according to Axios, which cited a source familiar with the matter.
- "He's expecting to be fired," a source close to Rosenstein told Axios, the website reported Monday. He plans to step down, Axios reported.
- NBC News' Pete Williams, however, reported that Rosenstein would not resign of his own accord, and that he will only depart if the White House fired him. He will refuse to resign if asked to do so, Williams added.
