Nanker Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I think The NY Times has suspicious ties to Russia, Russian spies, Russian sympathizers, and Russian special interests who are direct threats to our democracy, our electoral system, and the right of the American people to freely elect our representatives and decide our sovereign destiny. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 FBI BLOWS SOURCE: WHY? By Scott Johnson JAZZING UP THE FBI SPYING-ON-TRUMP SCANDAL by Paul Mirengoff The FBI and its friends in the mainstream media want to make the Bureau’s spying on the Trump campaign seem as dry, innocuous, and non-cloak-and-dagger as possible under the circumstances. An elderly professor contacted three Trump advisers — Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, and Sam Clovis. He met with Page at least several times and maintained an email correspondence with him. He met with Clovis once for coffee. He met several times for dinner with Papadopoulos. He was looking for indications of Russian influence in the campaign. Apparently, he found none. As dry as this story sounds, it still constitutes the federal government spying on the campaign of the candidate of the party out of power. It’s still a scandal. It could a use a little spice, though. This report by Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller supplies it. According to Ross: Papadopoulos made the trip to (London) and had dinner multiple times with [the spying professor] and a Turkish woman described as his assistant. Sources familiar with Papadopoulos’s version of their meetings said Halper randomly asked Papadopoulos whether he knew about Democratic National Committee emails that had been hacked and leaked by Russians. Papadopoulos strongly denied the allegation, sources familiar with his version of the exchange have told The DCNF [Daily Caller News Foundation]. Halper grew agitated and pressed Papadopoulos on the topic. Papadopoulos believes that Halper was recording him during some of their interactions, sources said. [The professor’s] assistant. . .brought up Russians and emails over drinks with Papadopoulos. [She] also flirted heavily with Papadopoulos and attempted to meet him in Chicago, where he lives, a source told TheDCNF. If true, the FBI didn’t just use an elderly professor to spy. It also used a temptress. This isn’t as juicy as parts of the anti-Trump dossier, but it may have the virtue (so to speak) of being true. .

This raises even more questions about whether current top intelligence and law enforcement officials can be trusted to obey the law and to adequately protect the nation’s intelligence secrets." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Sharyl Attkisson is amazing...................Can’t say this enough. Honestly, there is so much noise out in the media about investigations, Russia, Trump, collusion, has-been porn stars with ambulance-chasing attorneys … it’s hard for us crazy people with Twitchy to keep up with it, let alone people who don’t read this chaos every day for a living. And you wonder why we’re all slowly losing our minds. Anyway, Sharyl laid out a timeline about collusion AGAINST Trump and just wow. From sharylattkisson.com: Anti-Russian Ukrainians allegedly helped coordinate and execute a campaign against Trump in partnership with the Democratic National Committee and news reporters. A Yemen-born ex-British spy reportedly delivered political opposition research against Trump to reporters, Sen. John McCain, and the FBI; the latter of which used the material–in part–to obtain wiretaps against one or more Trump-related associates. There were orchestrated leaks of anti-Trump information and allegations to the press, including by ex-FBI Director James Comey. The U.S. intel community allegedly engaged in questionable surveillance practices and politically-motivated “unmaskings” of U.S. citizens, including Trump officials. Alleged conflicts of interests have surfaced regarding FBI officials who cleared Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information and who investigated Trump’s alleged Russia ties. I Suggest you read her entire collusion timeline because it’s massive and incredibly eye-opening. It would appear there were some seriously sneaky people in Washington D.C. doing their damnedest to keep Trump out of office, and whether or not you’re a fan of the president, this should terrify all of us. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why it would be surprising. "Rule of law" was replaced by "rule of man" eight years ago. That's why people were panicked about Trump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what is said this week, don’t forget this fact. Many powerful people are hoping you will, and will try to make it so . Correct and well put. This is an information war and the disinformation will be coming fast and heavy starting tonight. Lots of facts will get twisted in an attempt to downplay the revelations. Don't fall for it. They think you're stupid, don't help them prove their point. We have been months ahead of the story for over a year now down here in the dungeon, a lot of what was classified as "speculation" will soon become fact - and then immediately dismissed by those in the MSM who have been denying these facts as "obvious" or "not what it appears to be." Schiff was just on TV calling the evidence pouring in an "alternate reality created for Trump supporters". These people are traitors. They attempted a coup of a legally elected POTUS. Not because he was a Nazi, but because he's a threat to the empire they built at our expense. It's time we take it back. That starts by calling them out, loudly, on their bullshite this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Stopping Robert Mueller to protect us all (Mark Penn -- Bill Clinton Pollster and advisor)The Hill ^ | 05-20-2018 | Mark Penn The “deep state” is in a deep state of desperation. With little time left before the Justice Department inspector general’s report becomes public, and with special counsel Robert Mueller having failed to bring down Donald Trump after a year of trying, they know a reckoning is coming. At this point, there is little doubt that the highest echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department broke their own rules to end the Hillary Clinton“matter,” but we can expect the inspector general to document what was done or, more pointedly, not done. It is hard to see how a year-long investigation of this won’t come down hard on former FBI Director James Comey and perhaps even former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who definitely wasn’t playing mahjong in a secret “no aides allowed” meeting with former President Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac. With this report on the way and congressional investigators beginning to zero in on the lack of hard, verified evidence for starting the Trump probe, current and former intelligence and Justice Department officials are dumping everything they can think of to save their reputations. But it is backfiring. They started by telling the story of Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat, as having remembered a bar conversation with George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. But how did the FBI know they should talk to him? That’s left out of their narrative. Downer’s signature appears on a $25 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation. You don’t need much imagination to figure that he was close with Clinton Foundation operatives who relayed information to the State Department, which then called the FBI to complete the loop. This wasn’t intelligence. It was likely opposition research from the start In no way would a fourth-hand report from a Maltese professor justify wholesale targeting of four or five members of the Trump campaign. It took Christopher Steele, with his funding concealed through false campaign filings, to be incredibly successful at creating a vast echo chamber around his unverified, fanciful dossier, bouncing it back and forth between the press and the FBI so it appeared that there were multiple sources all coming to the same conclusion. Time and time again, investigators came up empty. Even several sting operations with an FBI spy we just learned about failed to produce a Delorean-like video with cash on the table. But rather than close the probe, the deep state just expanded it. All they had were a few isolated contacts with Russians and absolutely nothing related to Trump himself, yet they pressed forward. Egged on by Steele, they simply believed Trump and his team must be dirty. They just needed to dig deep enough. More at the Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Trump mentioned Gang of 8 it has been my thought that John McCain will be posthumously blamed for all of this (since he delivered the "dossier"). Deflect, deflect, deflect. I'm gonna guess he's got dirt on a lot of people though, and Cindy won't be afraid to use it if she's not made Senator after his death to protect John's "legacy".

This was always going to land at Obama's door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 CNN is going full-goose bozo declaring Trump's demand for an investigation a "power play," "obstruction of justice," and "an attack on the very fabric of democracy."
