Oh... so close! 

 

 

Next time they REALLY got him. 

 

 

And Mueller is not going to testify until after the OIG report is out -- meaning, he's not going to testify. His choice, not Barr's or Trump's. 

 

Ask yourself why. 

 

 

I am asking myself why.

 

It's above my head, bro. (saying this in my best Joe Benigno voice).

  Hillary says that laws are for the little people.  Just have an off shore foundation to receive contributions and the unwashed masses will be none the wiser.

And when caught with your hand in the cookie jar, project your crimes onto your opponents knowing the media will give you an assist.

That was my reaction at first too  

 

He'd be in violation of his own bill if it were in existence in 2016-2017.

LOL About Mueller not being called to testify. They want innuendo, not talking to the author. 
 

Everything is a race to get a headline... pretty true. And his point about tearing at the fabric of Congression oversight is spot on.  It does make me wonder how much damage all this is doing to the Congressional oversight process. 

He's right about all of it. And when he ends by calling it a circus, well, it is difficult to disagree.

An explosive report by investigative journalist John Solomon on the opinion page of Monday’s edition of The Hill sheds a bright light on how Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and then-FBI Director James Comey collaborated to prevent WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange from discussing “technical evidence ruling out certain parties [read Russia]” in the controversial leak of Democratic Party emails to WikiLeaks during the 2016 election.

A deal that was being discussed last year between Assange and U.S. government officials would have given Assange “limited immunity” to allow him to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been exiled for six years. In exchange, Assange would agree to limit through redactions “some classified CIA information he might release in the future,” according to Solomon, who cited “interviews and a trove of internal DOJ documents turned over to Senate investigators.” Solomon even provided a copy of the draft immunity deal with Assange.

But Comey’s intervention to stop the negotiations with Assange ultimately ruined the deal, Solomon says, quoting “multiple sources.” With the prospective agreement thrown into serious doubt, Assange “unleashed a series of leaks that U.S. officials say damaged their cyber warfare capabilities for a long time to come.” These were the Vault 7 releases, which led then CIA Director Mike Pompeo to call WikiLeaks “a hostile intelligence service.”

Solomon’s report provides reasons why Official Washington has now put so much pressure on Ecuador to keep Assange incommunicado in its embassy in London.

The report does not say what led Comey to intervene to ruin the talks with Assange. But it came after Assange had offered to  “provide technical evidence and discussion regarding who did not engage in the DNC releases,” Solomon quotes WikiLeaks’ intermediary with the government as saying.  It would be a safe assumption that Assange was offering to prove that Russia was not WikiLeaks’ source of the DNC emails.

If that was the reason Comey and Warner ruined the talks, as is likely, it would reveal a cynical decision to put U.S. intelligence agents and highly sophisticated cybertools at risk, rather than allow Assange to at least attempt to prove that Russia was not behind the DNC leak.

The greater risk to Warner and Comey apparently would have been if Assange provided evidence that Russia played no role in the 2016 leaks of DNC documents.

This is one of the more damning moments of the whole scandal -- and we covered it in real time in 2017 when it happened. 

 

To put a fine point on what happened:

 

* The FBI and IC knew Assange had received the full Vault 7 files. 

(Vault 7 files were the CIA's entire [unclassified] cyber warfare kit, literal cyber weapons which anyone could use, including "spoofing" tools which are/were designed to fake forensic evidence as to the origin of the attacks, meaning the tools allowed the CIA to hack someone and leave a fingerprint behind which identifies the intrusion as Russian/Chinese/North Korean -- anything other than American in origin)

 

* Assange (through his lawyer) reached out to Comey and offered a deal -- extradition to the US with limited immunity in exchange for NOT publishing Vault 7 AND evidence proving that Russia did not give him the emails. 

 

So put yourself in Warner and Comey's shoes in that moment. Both are (deeply) involved in the ongoing coup attempt, and here's Assange offering a lose-lose choice. If they took Assange's deal, the coup would be exposed as a hoax (in 2017!), but if they denied it Assange would release literal weapons of war into the wild. 

 

They chose to protect the coup OVER the country. 

 

This is why the (surprisingly) popular "theory" on Comey being a secret white hat has never, ever, rang true for me. When given the chance to protect the country or himself, he's ALWAYS chosen to protect himself over his nation. Comey is't the brightest bulb, he's not the head of the snake -- but he's not playing a long game either. He's a 7 foot tall, morally and ethically bankrupt turd, nothing more.

I know it wasn't new information but seeing it with eyes that have seen what has gone on for the last three years puts it in a far brighter light.
