demanding the names of everyone “past and present” who works or has worked with Special Counsel Robert Mueller,

they want to investigate the background and actions of each investigator, lawyer and staff members in a search for signs that they have a personal bias against Trump.

they write that they are “disturbed” by the appointment of people with an anti-Trump bias.

Their letter singles out as an example FBI agent Peter Strzok, attorney Lisa Page, and attorney Kevin Clinesmith.

In the past, they have

called for the firing of Mueller,

called for the firing of Rosenstein,

the appointment of another special counsel to investigate Mueller and his team,

Mueller Poised to Zero In on Trump-Russia Collusion Allegations

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is preparing to accelerate his probe into possible collusion between Donald Trump (https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/id/1252249)’s presidential campaign and Russians who sought to interfere in the 2016 election,

Mueller and his team of prosecutors and investigators have an eye toward producing conclusions -- and possible indictments -- related to collusion by fall, said the person, who asked not to be identified.

He’ll be able to turn his full attention to the issue as he resolves other questions, including deciding soon whether to find that Trump sought to obstruct justice.

Defiant Flynn Tells Mueller to Hit the Highway; Special Counsel Fuming that “Hostile” Witness Won’t Rat on Trump


https://i2.wp.com/truepundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/161117201720-02-michael-flynn-1117-exlarge-169.jpg?w=780&ssl=1



U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has reached his wit’s end with Gen. Michael Flynn, a coveted ex-Trump administration official Mueller was confident he could flip to rat out his former boss and White House associates.

Mueller indicted Flynn on a single charge of lying to the FBI in Dec. 2016 and Flynn plead out, promising to work with Mueller per his plea agreement.

But Flynn won’t crack, sources said, and rat out Trump.

And Mueller is steaming, according to federal insiders familiar with the friction-packed relationship between the two parties.

“Flynn remains loyal to Trump,” one case insider said. “Mueller overplayed his hand because Flynn has not cooperated and will not cooperate. He still supports Trump. Nothing Mueller has tried, including threats, has changed that.”

Mueller previously threatened Flynn’s son with prosecution if Flynn didn’t plead out and agree to cooperate with the probe.

“Somewhere during this whole process, Flynn decided he was not going to work with Mueller’s team,” one insider said. “Mueller is left with a hostile witness who he has charged but can’t get to cooperate.”

Flynn didn’t cut a deal with Mueller because he was necessarily guilty of lying to the FBI, or any crimes, according to sources close to the retired general.

Flynn was muscled and coerced into a plea deal, several sources said.

Flynn plead guilty after Mueller threatened Flynn’s family, including his son Michael Jr. According to sources close to Flynn family, Mueller threatened Flynn on multiple occasions that if he did not plead guilty to lying to the FBI, Mueller would investigate other Flynn family members.

Including his son. And rack up thousands more dollars in legal fees.

“I didn’t do anything illegal so this notion that one of the thing the Special Counsel could do to get my father to accept a plea deal was threaten me has always been odd,” Michael Flynn Jr. told True Pundit.

Odd but true nonetheless.

A close family associate said Mueller and his team even threatened Flynn Jr. during a meeting with Gen. Flynn in the same room. Mueller’s apparent goal with the threats was to cause additional stress in the Flynn family as well as hike Flynn’s legal fees which were already bankrupting the family, sources said.

Looks like ABC News’ Brian Ross and his mainstream media pals simply got it wrong. Again.

For months, the media has been trumpeting Flynn Sr. as a star witness for Mueller and cited delays in Flynn’s sentencing as proof Flynn was cooperating with Mueller and providing intel against the Trump administration.

Untrue.

Flynn is scheduled in court this Friday for sentencing.

Unless the court delays it. Again.

Gen. Flynn could not be reached for comment.

After his plea deal was announced, Flynn released a statement on Dec. 1, 2017 that in part read:

“My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsel’s office reflect a decision I made in the best interests of my family and our country.”

Also, based on recent court documents in Flynn’s case there appears to be a possibility that a judge could vacate his guilty plea and Flynn could walk away a free man.

And also free to talk.

Why would Flynn plead guilty and agree to cooperate if he wasn't going to cooperate?

Why would Flynn lie in his statement of offense?

If Jr. did nothing wrong why is he worried about legal fees? He doesn't cover the costs of investigation?

None of this makes any sense.

He clearly stated there were no threats in his statement of offense.

Why did he lie again?

The WSJ reported he wanted full immunity to give testimony in March 2017.

Why ask for that if he did nothing wrong and doesn't want to cooperate?

[Reck]

Chris, if he's not cooperating (He is) he wouldn't be allowed to walk the street free. See Manafort.

Let's imagine lying to the FBI is all Mueller has on Flynn, well then that's not enough to make one flip and he would make Flynn serve that sentence, however small in an actual jail.

'I don't see what relation this indictment has with what the special counsel is authorized to investigate,' the judge says. :rollin


"There’s no mention in the indictment of any Russian individuals or any Russian bank or any payment to Manafort by the Russians,” the judge noted. :rollin

“Our investigative scope covers the activities that led to this case,” Dreeben said at one point.

“It covers bank fraud in 2005 and 2007?” Ellis replied incredulously.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/04/mueller-challenged-manafort-case-568935


A federal judge expressed deep skepticism Friday in the bank fraud case brought by special counsel Robert Mueller's office against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, at one point saying he believes that Mueller's motivation is to oust President Donald Trump from office.

Although Mueller's authority has been tested in court before, Friday's hearing was notable for District Judge T.S. Ellis' decision to wade into the divisive political debate around the investigation.
"You don't really care about Mr. Manafort's bank fraud," Ellis said to prosecutor Michael Dreeben, at times losing his temper. Ellis said prosecutors were interested in Manafort because of his potential to provide material that would lead to Trump's "prosecution or impeachment," Ellis said.
"That's what you're really interested in," said Ellis, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

Ellis repeated his suspicion several times in the hour-long court hearing. He said he'll make a decision at a later date about whether Manafort's case can go forward.
"We don't want anyone in this country with unfettered power. It's unlikely you're going to persuade me the special prosecutor has power to do anything he or she wants," Ellis told Dreeben. "The American people feel pretty strongly that no one has unfettered power."
When Dreeben answered Ellis' question about how the investigation and its charges date back to before the Trump campaign formed, the judge shot back, "None of that information has to do with information related to Russian government coordination and the campaign of Donald Trump."

At one point, Ellis posed a hypothetical question, speaking as if he were the prosecutor, about why Mueller's office referred a criminal investigation about Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen to New York authorities and kept the Manafort case in Virginia.
They weren't interested in it because it didn't "further our core effort to get Trump," Ellis said, mimicking a prosecutor in the case.

Alas, figuring that he was playing with the house money, Mueller made a reckless bet: He charged not only Russian individuals but three Russian businesses. A business doesn’t have the same risks as a person. A business can’t be thrown in jail. And while members of Mueller’s prosecutorial stable have a history of putting real businesses out of business, a business that is run by a Putin crony and serves as a front for Kremlin operations is not too worried about that either.

So . . . guess what? One of those Russian businesses, Concord Management and Consulting, wants its day in court. It has retained the Washington law firm of Reed Smith, two of whose partners, Eric Dubelier and Katherine Seikaly, have told Mueller that Concord is ready to have its trial — and by the way, let’s see all the discovery the law requires you to disclose, including all the evidence you say supports the extravagant allegations in the indictment.

Needless to say, Mueller’s team is not happy about this development since this is not a case they figured on having to prosecute to anything more than a successful press conference. So, they have sought delay on the astonishing ground that the defendant has not been properly served — notwithstanding that the defendant has shown up in court and asked to be arraigned.

Understand, service of process is simply the means by which a party seeks what Mueller has already got: the opposing party’s appearance in the lawsuit. But Mueller’s argument is so priceless we can’t let it go unstated: In order to serve the defendants in a criminal case in which Mueller alleges that Russia is an adversary government that conducted espionage operations against the American election, the Justice Department sought the assistance of . . . yes . . . the government of Russia. I know you’ll be shocked to hear this, but DOJ says Russia never got back to them.

Something tells me that Concord’s appearance in court is Russia’s way of getting back to them.

The federal court in the District of Columbia has scheduled Concord’s arraignment for Wednesday, so Mueller filed his papers late last Friday to try to get the matter postponed. But, as Politico’s Josh Gerstein reports, on Saturday evening, Judge Dabney Friedrich curtly denied Mueller’s request. Mueller’s prosecutors had suggested that weeks of briefing were necessary to probe the question of whether Concord had been served properly. As Concord has voluntarily appeared, however, it is not apparent why that question needs examination — if he wants to stand on ceremony, Mueller could just hand the lawyers a copy of the indictment when they see each other in court this week.

In fact, though, Concord’s lawyers have been scrutinizing the indictment very carefully, and making demands for discovery that they say Mueller has ignored for weeks. To put it mildly, this is not a case the special counsel is anxious to try; he is even less thrilled at the prospect of disclosing his evidence and investigative files to a business controlled by Yevgeny Prigozhin. Apart from being close to Putin, Prigozhin is personally charged as a defendant in the case — he controls not just Concord but all three businesses charged in the indictment.

By indicting Russian businesses that belong to a Kremlin-connected defendant who cannot be forced to leave Russia, Mueller risked exactly what has happened: one of the businesses showing up to contest the case at no risk, in effect forcing Mueller to show this Kremlin-connected defendant what he’s got, even though he has no chance of getting the Kremlin-connected defendant convicted and sentenced to prison.

The surest way to put an end to this unwelcome turn of events would be to dismiss the indictment — or at least drop the charges against the three businesses so Prigozhin and the Kremlin can’t use them to force Mueller’s hand. Of course, that would be very embarrassing. But as all prosecutors are taught from their first day on the job: Never indict a case unless you are prepared to try the case.

Lawmaker Decries Republican Grilling of FBI Agent Peter Strzok as 'Orwellian': Report

Republicans continue to foment conspiracy theories in an attempt to undermine the Russia investigation.

Congressional Republicans are obsessed with doing whatever they can to undermine the special counsel's investigation into President Donald Trump,

one Democratic lawmaker described as "Orwellian" and "Kafka-esque" to reporter Katie Bo Williams (https://twitter.com/KatieBoWill) of the Hill,

lawmakers grilled Strzok behind closed doors

about his involvement in both the Russia investigation and the probe into Hilary Clinton's emails use.

Strzok became the right's favorite boogeyman

the report criticized him for bias, it said there was no evidence that his bias had a consequential outcome on either investigation.

Republicans have insisted on dragging his name through the mud and

insinuating that he was somehow scheming against Trump,

even though the fact of the Russia investigation wasn't made public until after the election.

the interview (https://twitter.com/jeremyherb/status/1012142645399957505) only ended after 11 hours.

Trey Gowdy is a complete fraud. This video clip proves it.

"Finish it the hell up, because this country is being torn apart."

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) pleaded with Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to bring Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign to a prompt conclusion, citing the purported damage it is doing the country.

“There’s an old saying that justice delayed is justice denied. I think right now all of us are being denied,” Gowdy said.

“Whatever you got — finish it the hell up, because this country is being torn apart.”

Gowdy’s comments might be defensible in a vacuum. But when he was chair of the House Benghazi Committee,

Gowdy oversaw an investigation of Hillary Clinton that lasted more than two years.

Gowdy told the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/06/28/house-benghazi-report-reveals-little-new-information-about-hillary-clinton/?utm_term=.2289812f9882) he had no qualms about how long it dragged out because

“my job is to report facts.”

But Gowdy — who isn’t running for reelection — is

now clearly motivated by a desire to protect his party’s president.

Steele Dossier Says Information Went Both Ways Between Trump and Russia

The information flow wasn't only to the president's campaign.

The Associated Press (https://apnews.com/55b8a55d5a7545b99d0f915affb7d852)has compiled a list of the information provided in the list of memos authored by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, and compared it with what has been revealed through court filings and public statements
they also find that a great deal of what Steele produced is proving to have a basis in fact.

What has turned out to be true is the primary narrative thread that runs through all the memos —

The Russian government set up an “elaborate operation”

to damage Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election
through social media,
propaganda, and
by stealing Democratic information and
providing it to Trump.

The Kremlin set out to harm Clinton and help Trump.

Trump jumped on the opportunity.

That makes Trump a colluder, conspirator, and any other c-word that comes to mind.

Steele’s memos were also accurate in many details,

One of the primary claims of the Steele memos is not just that Russia sought to help Trump, but that

the flow of information went both ways.

Trump help Putin in ways that he could address even if he didn’t win—

by providing the Kremlin with information on wealthy Russians in the United States.

The idea that Donald Trump was providing something to Vladimir Putin in exchange for his assistance months before the elections is certainly intriguing. Trump’s habit of selling property to Russians and other former Soviets would position him to provide this information if asked.

The only question would be whether or not Steele’s sources fingered the right company when they pointed to Alfa Group.

And if that’s all that Steele got wrong …

Donald Trump should be extremely worried about the possibility of other memos being confirmed.

For all the attempts Republicans in the House have made to discredit Steele’s work, and to suggest that the whole Russia investigation was tainted by association with these memos,

Steele seems to have been far more right than he was wrong.

As for nailing down Trump, forget the pee tape. Find the evidence that Donald Trump was feeding information back to Putin.

https://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/steele-dossier-says-information-went-both-ways-between-trump-and-russia

You ST People have been pissing on Steele, as dictated by the Repug traitors, for months. All y'all are WRONG, again. :lol

The Repugs realized immediately that Steele's info was extremely dangerous to Trash, so they began a campaign to discredit, and ST lemmings fell in line. Mueller hasn't and won't.

saying it is being done at the behest of

“losers who don’t have the guts to accept that they lost.”
Touching on the investigation several times — and comparing the indictments of Russian hackers as something out of Lewis Carroll — Lavrov said he knew nothing about the supposed “pee tape” that Russian intelligence agents have of Trump engaging with hookers during Moscow visit.

'Even a blind person' can see Mueller using Manafort to 'target' Trump: judge



A federal judge slammed Robert Mueller’s year-long investigation in a ruling released this week, saying “even a blind person can see” the special counsel was using Paul Manafort to “target” the President. US District Judge T.S. Ellis III released the statement Thursday, blasting Mueller’s months-long probe into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia; adding “charges against defendant are intended to induce defendant to cooperate with the Special Counsel by providing evidence against the President.” “Given the investigation’s focus on President Trump’s campaign, even a blind person can see that the true target of the Special Counsel’s investigation is President Trump, not defendant, and that defendant’s prosecution is part of that larger plan,” he wrote. “Specifically, the charges against defendant are intended to induce defendant to cooperate with the Special Counsel by providing evidence against the President or other members of the campaign. Although these kinds of high-pressure prosecutorial tactics are neither uncommon nor illegal, they are distasteful,” Ellis added.

Trash executing Pootin's strategy of destablizing Europe

Trump Offered Bribe For France To Leave European Union

We now know that Trump is actively trying to destabilize the European Union, two European officials told (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/trump-is-trying-to-destabilize-the-european-union/2018/06/28/729cb066-7b10-11e8-aeee-4d04c8ac6158_story.html?utm_term=.bca283b0d80f) the Washington Post.

During an April meeting at the White House, Trump offered French President Emmanuel Macron a shocking deal: If France leaves the E.U., the U.S. will give France a much better bilateral trade deal than the rest of the E.U. gets.

Yes, a U.S. president actually offered a bribe to try to dismantle a major organization of U.S. allies. Trump tried to con his way into knocking down a pillar of Western democracy and the international liberal order.

If Trump succeeded at this, it would make Russian President Vladimir Putin’s wildest dreams come true.

Cohen Won’t Declare Loyalty To Trump, Hints At Danger He Could Pose To Prez

Again and again, Cohen refused declare fealty to Trump.

“My wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will—I put family and country first,” he said, repeating the refrain in different ways twice more.

This is a far cry from his emotional promises to “take a bullet” (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/349702-trump-lawyer-id-take-a-bullet-for-the-president) for the President less than a year ago.

Cohen “stiffened his spine.”

“I will not be a punching bag as part of anyone’s defense strategy,

I am not a villain in any story and won’t allow others to try to depict me in that way,”

Cohen then hinted heavily that he has information to share on two hot-button and possibly damning episodes for the President:

the infamous Trump tower meeting when “dirt” on Hillary Clinton was promised, and

the $130,000 hush money payout made to Stormy Daniels during the election.

On both questions, whether Trump knew of the meeting and if he had requested or promised to reimburse the payment,

Cohen cryptically refused to answer—for now.

“I want to answer,” he said.

“One day I will answer. But for now I can’t comment further on advice of my counsel.”

Evidence Mounts That Russia Covertly Swayed Brexit Just Like the U.S. Election

Putin appears to have used a billionaire businessman in Britain as a tool to pass the referendum.

that taken as a whole, simply cannot be coincidences.

First and foremost both events ultimately were determined in a manner which was advantageous to Vladimir Putin.

Second, both Brexit and the U.S. election featured Cambridge Analytica and its founders Robert and Rebekah Mercer as key players.

Now yet another piece in the puzzle of Russian dominion over the two elections is fitting into place.

UK financier Aaron Banks financed Brexit with the largest donation in British history

after he just happened to have been offered a “sweetheart” deal

on Russian gold and diamond mining projects which

were only offered to a “restricted number of investors.” New York Magazine: (https://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/06/the-british-russia-collusion-scandal-is-breaking-wide-open.html)

< long article >

There’s an old aphorism,

first time is happenstance,

second time is coincidence,

There is no happenstance or coincidence with Vladimir Putin.

He cuts straight to the chase all the time, every time.

With respect to both Brexit and the US election, Occam’s Razor is the only tool you need.

What is your gut reaction to hearing that

Aaron Banks has a Russian-born wife (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/29/world/europe/russia-britain-brexit-arron-banks.html) and

a vanity license plate,

“X MI5 SPY,”

a reference to the British intelligence agency, MI5?

Or this:

On Nov. 12, 2016, Mr. Banks met President-elect Trump in Trump Tower.

Upon his return to London, Mr. Banks had another lunch

with the Russian ambassador where they discussed the Trump visit.

Cohen Won’t Declare Loyalty To Trump, Hints At Danger He Could Pose To Prez

Again and again, Cohen refused declare fealty to Trump.

“My wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will—I put family and country first,” he said, repeating the refrain in different ways twice more.

This is a far cry from his emotional promises to “take a bullet” (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/349702-trump-lawyer-id-take-a-bullet-for-the-president) for the President less than a year ago.

Cohen “stiffened his spine.”

“I will not be a punching bag as part of anyone’s defense strategy,

I am not a villain in any story and won’t allow others to try to depict me in that way,”

Cohen then hinted heavily that he has information to share on two hot-button and possibly damning episodes for the President:

the infamous Trump tower meeting when “dirt” on Hillary Clinton was promised, and

the $130,000 hush money payout made to Stormy Daniels during the election.

On both questions, whether Trump knew of the meeting and if he had requested or promised to reimburse the payment,

Cohen cryptically refused to answer—for now.

“I want to answer,” he said.

“One day I will answer. But for now I can’t comment further on advice of my counsel.”

Trash executing Pootin's strategy of destablizing Europe

Trump Offered Bribe For France To Leave European Union

We now know that Trump is actively trying to destabilize the European Union, two European officials told (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/trump-is-trying-to-destabilize-the-european-union/2018/06/28/729cb066-7b10-11e8-aeee-4d04c8ac6158_story.html?utm_term=.bca283b0d80f) the Washington Post.

During an April meeting at the White House, Trump offered French President Emmanuel Macron a shocking deal: If France leaves the E.U., the U.S. will give France a much better bilateral trade deal than the rest of the E.U. gets.

Yes, a U.S. president actually offered a bribe to try to dismantle a major organization of U.S. allies. Trump tried to con his way into knocking down a pillar of Western democracy and the international liberal order.

If Trump succeeded at this, it would make Russian President Vladimir Putin’s wildest dreams come true.

And the answer is?

[Chris]

But then, predicting what Trump will, or won't do is sort of a mugs game. He never fails to do the stupidest shit possible, just when you think he can't be dumber.

The thing about a good theory though, it that it both explains facts, and you can make testable predictions.

Fact 1:
Russia attempted to hack our electoral process through a multi-pronged attack.

Fact 2:
Donald "look how big my inauguration crowd was" Trump has done nothing but deny this even happened. He has shown no willingness whatsoever to hold Russia to account for anything.

Fact 3:
Donald Trump has a pattern of criticizing anyone, and everyone at the drop of a hat. Allies, enemies, courts, free press, nothing has escaped his remarks and twitter feed, except for ONE/(two) thing(s), and that is Russia/Putin

Fact 4:
Russian efforts appeared designed to support Trump

Fact 5:
Trump directly called on Russia publicly to support his efforts to get elected.

Theory:
Donald Trump has been compromised in some way. Either he directly owes them money, or they have evidence of some kind of him breaking the law or doing something he does not want others to know about.

This theory explains those facts, and is fully consistent with observed reality.

Prediction:
Donald Trump will take no action personally, nor will he criticize Russia or Putin in any way in regards to the Russian attack on our elections. He may allow his underlings to do some minor, inconsequential stuff, and if forced to do anything by Congress will drag his feet, if not outright attempt to veto any sanctions.


The way to falsify the theory:
1) Trump criticizes Putin/Russia (good)
2) Trump orders/takes action that materially harms Russian interests (definitive)

Bullshit conspiracy theories fail very often because either: they cannot be falsified, or they directly conflict with observed reality. This theory can be falsified, and does not conflict with what we know as fact.

Donald Trump is unpredictable except for Russia.

He may be stupid enough to fire Mueller if Mueller starts asking questions that will expose how he has been compromised.

If he does so, he will be impeached. The Republican party will have almost no choice at that point. Congress will find their spine, because they want to be re-elected, and Trump will have gone too far for all but the most jaded hacks.


Pretty much what we have been saying Mueller was doing. :lmao

:lol

[RandomGuy]

:lol

Quite frankly, that theory looks better with each passing long-time ally we alienate. No few number of people who study geo politics have noted that US actions couldn't have been better scripted to benefit Russia than if they came off Putin's desk, which I have come to believe has happened to some degree.

I think your simp is taking some rather bad "advice" from his buddy, probably to get a good employee performance review when they meet in Finland.

Thanks for finding it though.

The FBI, FTC and SEC are joining the Justice Department’s inquiries into Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica disclosures

An alphabet soup of federal agencies are now poring over Facebook’s (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/facebook/) disclosures and the company’s statements about its response to the improper use of its user information by the political consultancy Cambridge Analytica.

the emphasis of the investigation has been on what Facebook disclosed about its information sharing with Cambridge Analytica and

whether those disclosures correlate to the timeline that’s being established by government investigators.

The fear, for Facebook, is that the government may decide that the company didn’t reveal enough to either investors or the public about the extent of the misallocation of user data.

Another concern is whether the Cambridge Analytica decision violated the terms of an earlier settlement Facebook made (https://techcrunch.com/2012/08/10/facebook-ftc-settlement-12/) with the Federal Trade Commission.

Senate panel backs intelligence agencies on Russia-Trump conclusions

A Senate Intelligence Committee report released on Tuesday supports three U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusion that

Russia tried to help Donald Trump win the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The Republican-led committee’s finding suggests the panel continues to conduct a bipartisan inquiry into the issue amid political rancor between Republicans and Democrats on allegations that Moscow interfered in the election.

“As numerous intelligence and national security officials in the Trump administration have since unanimously re-affirmed,

the (Intelligence Community Assessment’s) findings were accurate and on point,”

said committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner, a Democrat.

“The Russian effort was extensive and sophisticated, and its goals were

to undermine public faith in the democratic process,

to hurt Secretary Clinton (Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton) and

to help Donald Trump,”

Warner said.

The Nunes List – Forty-Two Names Referred & Growing



On July 5, 2018, Devin Nunes sent a third Referral Letter to Chairman Gowdy and Chairman Goodlatte (earlier referrals discussed here). A brief description of each individual is provided.

Nunes has now referred forty-two individuals to the joint task force of Committees on Oversight & Government Reform and the Judiciary for open-setting interviews. Most names should be recognizable to those following events.

The names referred by Nunes are thus far loosely grouped into three categories:

DOJ & FBI Officials
State Department Officials & Some Obama/Clinton Officials
Non-government individuals. Many related to Fusion GPS
Once again, please note that names cut off at a certain political level. Below Sally Yates at DOJ. Below Comey at FBI. Below Kerry at State.

All Names appear to be tied/related to Steele Dossier.

The List being compiled by Nunes is beginning to encompass many of the significant middle-tier players in the Steele Dossier. Most of these individuals were intimately involved in the formation, use and/or dissemination of the Steele Dossier which led to the October FISA Warrant on Carter Page.

There are many inter-relations:

Bruce Ohr and Nellie Ohr are married. Bruce was a senior DOJ Official. Nellie works at Fusion GPS.
Shailagh Murray and Neil King are married. Murray was an Assistant to Obama and Senior Advisor for Strategic Communications. King works at Fusion GPS.
Glenn Simpson and Mary Jacoby are married. Simpson is the founder of Fusion GPS. Jacoby visited the White House the day after Mike Rogers shut down FBI/DOJ contractor access to the FISA Search System.
Most of these individuals had direct contact with many others on list. All are tied to the Steele Dossier in some fashion.
Note who & what is thus far missing:

Higher level names – Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan (insert your choice here)
Christopher Steele – Grassley has already referred.
FBI Agent Mike Gaeta – received permission from Nuland to meet with Steele in London
David Kramer – At the direction of John McCain, Kramer would fly to London in November 2016 to meet with Dossier author Christopher Steele
Adam Waldman – DC lawyer, lobbyist and registered foreign agent for Oleg Deripaska and Sergey Lavrov. Waldman offered Senator Warner access to Dossier author Christopher Steele (texts here).
Natalia Veselnitskaya – Attended Trump Tower Meeting w/Akhmetshin to argue against Magnitsky Act. Hired Fusion GPS for Prevezon in 2013 through law firm BakerHostetler.
Sergei Millian – Source D in Steel Dossier.
Also missing – but understandably so:

Any foreign-related names – Alexander Downer, Stefan Halper, Joseph Mifsud
Any UK Intelligence names – Robert Hannigan, Sir Andrew Wood, Richard Dearlove
Two other notable omissions:

George Papadopulos
Carter Page
There are many more names that should or could be included. For a more complete list of individuals with possible involvement or affiliation in Trump Surveillance, Steele Dossier and/or the Russia Narrative, see: A Listing of Participants

For an examination of the strategy being pursued by Nunes, see: Devin’s Journey, Rule of Law & Cold Anger. You may not like this particular post, but I believe it helps explain why Nunes is choosing these particular individuals.

See, Devin Nunes – His growing List of Names & Victoria Nuland for a good interview with Laura Ingraham (video & transcript) discussing his referrals.

plenty of dirt but no prosecution after 18 months of digging :lmaoThe whole narrative is the FBI/DOJ already had all the dirt ever needed to put Clinton away but DEEP STATE manipulated everything so no charges were brought.

[TSA]

MEMOS DETAIL FBI’S ‘HURRY THE F UP PRESSURE’ TO PROBE TRUMP CAMPAIGN

Multiple reviews of whether FBI agents’ political bias affected the Russia-Trump collusion case remain in their infancy, but investigators already have unearthed troubling internal communications long withheld from public view.

We already know from FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok’s now-infamous text messages with his fellow agent and reported lover, Lisa Page, that Strzok — the man driving that Russia collusion investigation — disdained Donald Trump and expressed willingness to use his law enforcement powers to “stop” the Republican from becoming president.

The question that lingers, unanswered: Did those sentiments affect official actions?

Memos the FBI is now producing to the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general and multiple Senate and House committees offer what sources involved in the production, review or investigation describe to me as “damning” or “troubling” evidence.

They show Strzok and his counterintelligence team rushing in the fall of 2016 to find “derogatory” information from informants or a “pretext” to accelerate the probe and get a surveillance warrant on figures tied to the future president.

One of those figures was Carter Page, an academic and an energy consultant from New York; he was briefly a volunteer foreign policy adviser for the GOP nominee’s campaign and visited Moscow the summer before the election.

The memos show Strzok, Lisa Page and others in counterintelligence monitored news articles in September 2016 that quoted a law enforcement source as saying the FBI was investigating Carter Page’s travel to Moscow.

The FBI team pounced on what it saw as an opportunity as soon as Page wrote a letter to then-FBI Director James Comey complaining about the “completely false” leak.

“At a minimum, the letter provides us a pretext to interview,” Strzok wrote to Lisa Page on Sept. 26, 2016.

Within weeks, that “pretext” — often a synonym for an excuse — had been upsized to a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court warrant, giving the FBI the ability to use some of its most awesome powers to monitor Carter Page and his activities.

To date, the former Trump adviser has been accused of no wrongdoing despite being subjected to nearly a year of surveillance.

Some internal memos detail the pressure being applied by the FBI to DOJ prosecutors to get the warrant on Carter Page buttoned up before Election Day.

In one email exchange with the subject line “Crossfire FISA,” Strzok and Lisa Page discussed talking points to get then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to persuade a high-ranking DOJ official to sign off on the warrant.

“Crossfire Hurricane” was one of the code names for four separate investigations the FBI conducted related to Russia matters in the 2016 election.

“At a minimum, that keeps the hurry the F up pressure on him,” Strzok emailed Page on Oct. 14, 2016, less than four weeks before Election Day.

Four days later the same team was emailing about rushing to get approval for another FISA warrant for another Russia-related investigation code-named “Dragon.”

“Still an expedite?” one of the emails beckoned, as the FBI tried to meet the requirements of a process known as a Woods review before a FISA warrant can be approved by the courts.

“Any idea what time he can have it woods-ed by?” Strzok asked Page. “I know it’s not going to matter because DOJ is going to take the time DOJ wants to take. I just don’t want this waiting on us at all.”

Until all the interviews are completed by Congress and DOJ’s inspector general later this year, we won’t know why counterintelligence agents who normally take a methodical approach to investigation felt so much pressure days before the election on this case.

Were they concerned about losing a chance to gather evidence at a critical moment? Or maybe, as some Republicans long have suspected, they wanted to impact the election?

The agents got the Carter Page warrant in October and, within two weeks, Democrats in Congress such as then-Sen. Harry Reid (Nev.) and some media members were raising questions about the FBI withholding word of a probe that could hurt Trump. FBI agents monitored those reports, too.

The day after Trump’s surprising win on Nov. 9, 2016, the FBI counterintelligence team engaged in a new mission, bluntly described in another string of emails prompted by another news leak.

“We need ALL of their names to scrub, and we should give them ours for the same purpose,” Strzok emailed Page on Nov. 10, 2016, citing a Daily Beast article about some of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s allegedly unsavory ties overseas.

“Andy didn’t get any others,” Page wrote back, apparently indicating McCabe didn’t have names to add to the “scrub.”

“That’s what Bill said,” Strzok wrote back, apparently referring to then-FBI chief of counterintelligence William Priestap. “I suggested we need to exchange our entire lists as we each have potential derogatory CI info the other doesn’t.” CI is short for confidential informants.

It’s an extraordinary exchange, if for no other reason than this: The very day after Trump wins the presidency, some top FBI officials are involved in the sort of gum-shoeing normally reserved for field agents, and their goal is to find derogatory information about someone who had worked for the president-elect.

As the president-elect geared up to take over, the FBI made another move that has captured investigators’ attention: It named an executive with expertise in the FBI’s most sensitive surveillance equipment to be a liaison to the Trump transition.

On its face, that seems odd; technical surveillance nerds aren’t normally the first picks for plum political assignments. Even odder, the FBI counterintelligence team running the Russia-Trump collusion probe seemed to have an interest in the appointment.

These and other documents are still being disseminated to various oversight bodies in Congress, and more revelations are certain to occur.

Yet, now, irrefutable proof exists that agents sought to create pressure to get “derogatory” information and a “pretext” to interview people close to a future president they didn’t like.

Clear evidence also exists that an investigation into still-unproven collusion between a foreign power and a U.S. presidential candidate was driven less by secret information from Moscow and more by politically tainted media leaks.

And that means the dots between expressions of political bias and official actions just got a little more connected.

‘God bless him’: Giuliani says Michael Cohen ‘should’ flip on Trump because ‘there is no evidence or wrongdoing’

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Grabien-417855-800x430.jpg


Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, on Sunday asserted that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen “should” cooperate with prosecutors.

During an interview on CNN, host Dana Bash noted that Cohen suggested he would flip on Trump because he puts his family and country first.

“I don’t know what he has to flip over,” Giuliani opined.

“What I do know is, there is no evidence of wrongdoing with President Trump.

So we’re very comfortable.

If he believes it’s in his best interest to cooperate, God bless him.

He should cooperate.”

“I do not expect Michael Cohen is going to lie,”

he added. “I think he’s going to tell the truth as best he can given his recollection.

If he does that, we’re home free.”

MSNBC Panel Erupts in Laughter After 'TV Lawyer' Giuliani Claims He Was 'Probably' Present During June 2016 Trump Tower Meeting


“This is so incredibly ridiculous."

“I don’t think I’ve ever heard a president’s lawyer go on TV and say ‘oh, he’s going to charge him.’

but he seems to think his client will be charged with obstruction of justice,”

Joy Reid said.

Esquire journalist Charlie Pierce noted

Giuliani is “out there to change public opinion,” not to lead the president’s defense.

Reid

played a clip of Giuliani telling ABC he was “probably” present during the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting.
“I was probably there that day,” Giuliani declared in that clip.

“I don’t remember it.

Did somebody say something to me?

I don’t know.

You know what a campaign is like?

It’s helter-skelter.”

That remark prompted jeers from the panel.
“This is so incredibly ridiculous. Somebody ought to be at the New York State Bar Association filing a grievance against Rudy Giuliani, ” contributor Tiffany Cross said.

“The fact that Donald Trump has chosen this cousin-dater

to lead his defense team

shows how ill equipped he is to be at the helm of the United States,”

Cross continued

“But if Donald Trump refuses a [Mueller] subpoena,

this is an example of something that likely could end up before the Supreme Court and

what do you know? He has a Supreme Court pick coming up Monday.”

Will Trump Be Meeting With His Counterpart — Or His Handler?

A plausible theory of mind-boggling collusion.

The unfolding of the Russia scandal has been like walking into a dark cavern. Every step reveals that the cave runs deeper than we thought, and after each one, as we wonder how far it goes, our imaginations are circumscribed by the steps we have already taken.

But what if that’s wrong? What if we’re still standing closer to the mouth of the cave than the end?

What is missing from our imagination is the unlikely but possible outcome on the other end: that this is all much worse than we suspect.

After all, treating a small probability as if it were nonexistent is the very error much of the news media made in covering the presidential horse race.

we can responsibly speculate as to what lies at the end of this scandal without falling prey to their fallacies.

One of the oddities of the Russia scandal is that many of the most exotic and sinister theories have come from people within government and especially within the intelligence field.

The first intimations that Trump might harbor a dark secret originated among America’s European allies, which, being situated closer to Russia, have had more experience fending off its nefarious encroachments.

The contents of these communications have not been disclosed, but what Brennan learned obviously unsettled him profoundly.

In congressional testimony on Russian election interference last year, Brennan hinted (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/5/23/15681508/trump-russia-election-meddling-fbi-mueller-john-brennan)that some Americans might have betrayed their country.

“Individuals who go along a treasonous path,” he warned, “do not even realize they’re along that path until it gets to be a bit too late.”

In an interview this year, he put it more bluntly:

“I think [Trump] is afraid of the president of Russia. The Russians may have something on him personally that they could always roll out and make his life more difficult.”

we should give more credence to the possibility that Brennan is making these extraordinary charges of treason and blackmail at the highest levels of government because he knows something we don’t.

suppose the dark crevices of the Russia scandal run not just a little deeper but a lot deeper.

If that’s true, we are in the midst of a scandal unprecedented in American history, a subversion of the integrity of the presidency.

It would mean that when Special Counsel Robert Mueller closes in on the president and his inner circle, possibly beginning this summer, Trump may not merely rail on Twitter but provoke a constitutional crisis.

it would mean the Russia scandal began far earlier than conventionally understood and ended later — indeed, is still happening.

Trump arranges to meet face-to-face and privately with Vladimir Putin later this month,

the collusion between the two men metastasizing from a dark accusation into an open alliance,

the summit is less a negotiation between two heads of state than

a meeting between a Russian-intelligence asset and his handler.

“1987 is Trump’s breakout year. There are only a couple of examples of him commenting on world politics before then.”

What changed that year?

The other important event from that year is that Trump visited Moscow.

During the Soviet era, Russian intelligence cast a wide net to gain leverage over influential figures abroad. (The practice continues to this day.)

In 1986, Soviet ambassador Yuri Dubinin met (https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/19/trump-first-moscow-trip-215842) Trump in New York, flattered (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/dec/18/collusion-luke-harding-review-how-russia-helped-trump-win-the-white-house)him with praise for his building exploits, and invited him to discuss a building in Moscow. Trump visited Moscow in July 1987. He stayed at the National Hotel, in the Lenin Suite, which certainly would have been bugged.

Trump returned from Moscow fired up with political ambition.

He began the first of a long series of presidential flirtations,

Most Republicans would rather win an election with Putin’s help

than lose one without it.

It seemed just too crazy to consider the alternative:

It was all exactly what it appeared to be.

A VERY long article, connecting the FACTUAL dots, going back 30 years to Trash's first visit to Russia.

Trash is a Russian intelligence asset,

a Manchurian Candidate,

with Pootin as his handler,

executing Pootin's foreign policy.

Why slowly? Once you say they're active DEA and ATF agents, you gotta act really quickly.

Of course, you would act quickly only if you really had something.
