REPORT: McCabe Supposedly Contradicts Himself In Testimony; Unable To Cite Examples Of Verified Dossier Allegations

"McCabe claimed he could not recall — despite the reported existence of documents with McCabe’s own signature on them establishing his knowledge of the dossier’s financing and provenance."


Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s seven-hour interrogation by congressional investigators did not go well for the embattled FBI agent who purportedly made statements that contradicted evidence and was unable to provide any substantive examples of verified allegations in the anti-Trump dossier.

McCabe’s testimony supposedly prompted House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) members to decide to issue new subpoenas for Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) personnel, Fox News reported exclusively.

Key takeaways from James Rosen’s report at Fox News:

McCabe was supposedly a “friendly witness” to the Democrats that were present in the room.
The Democrats tried to push McCabe into helping them build a case against President Donald Trump — and were unsuccessful.
McCabe apparently described how thoroughly the FBI worked to verify the anti-Trump dossier and claimed that it is was credible.
When pushed for examples of what was verified in the anti-Trump dossier, McCabe was only able to identify the fact that Trump campaign advisor Carter Page traveled to Moscow — McCabe could not even verify anything about the meetings that Page supposedly had.
“The sources said that when asked when he learned that the dossier had been funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, McCabe claimed he could not recall — despite the reported existence of documents with McCabe’s own signature on them establishing his knowledge of the dossier’s financing and provenance.”
Assuming all the information from the Fox News’ report is accurate, this is disastrous for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged and unproven "collusion" between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

Mueller’s investigation has taken several major blows to its credibility, including the revelation that DOJ official Bruce G. Ohr was demoted from his position for hiding his connection to Fusion GPS, the firm behind the anti-Trump dossier. It was later revealed that Ohr’s wife, Nellie H. Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS.

Last week, lawmakers released text messages from a key FBI agent on the case, Peter Strzok, that revealed the presence of an extremely strong anti-Trump bias in the government agency — and potentially on the case.

One text message is proving to be especially troublesome for Mueller’s investigation, CNN reports:

Later in a text from August 15, 2016, Strzok tells Page: “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office” – an apparent reference to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe – “that there's no way he gets elected – but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40 . . . ." Page does not appear to have responded, according to records reviewed by CNN.

The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro weighed in on the gravity of that text message, noting how it changed the dynamics of the investigation in terms of who might be guilty and who should be investigated:

This looks an awful lot like motivation for launching an investigation into Trump in order to sink Trump as a hedge against Trump’s victory. The FBI’s investigation into Russian governmental interference in the election began in July 2016, just weeks before Strzok’s text message. And that means that there is now more of a smoking gun of FBI corruption against Trump than there is of Trump colluding with Russia.

BREAKING: Jeff Sessions Orders New Look Into Uranium One Criminal Investigation


Attorney General Jeff Sessions has ordered prosecutors at the Department of Justice to begin interviewing FBI agents about evidence they uncovered in a criminal investigation into a highly-controversial uranium deal that involves Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Multiple law enforcement officials confirmed Sessions’ orders to prosecutors, NBC News reported exclusively in the early morning hours on Thursday.

At the heart of the issue is the 2010 Uranium One deal which Hillary Clinton signed off on while she was Secretary of State at the U.S. State Department.

NBC News adds:

A senior law enforcement official who was briefed on the initial FBI investigation told NBC News there were allegations of corruption surrounding the process under which the U.S. government approved the sale. But no charges were filed.

While Clinton has vehemently denied that she did anything wrong, a fresh round of reports in recent months from The Hill and Circa News suggests that there is more to this case than meets the eye.

An October report revealed that the FBI started gathering evidence in 2009 of Russian officials engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering that were involved in the Uranium One deal:

Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.

They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.

Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefiting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.

Current Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating alleged and unproven claims of "collusion" between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, was the acting FBI director at the time of the investigation into the Russian officials who were engaged “in a bribery scheme aimed at growing their atomic energy business inside the United States.”

The Hill reported in October:

The investigation was ultimately supervised by then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, an Obama appointee who now serves as President Trump’s deputy attorney general, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, now the deputy FBI director under Trump, Justice Department documents show.

Both men now play a key role in the current investigation into possible, but still unproven, collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign during the 2016 election cycle. McCabe is under congressional and Justice Department inspector general investigation in connection with money his wife’s Virginia state Senate campaign accepted in 2015 from now-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe at a time when McAuliffe was reportedly under investigation by the FBI.

The connections to the current Russia case are many. The Mikerin probe began in 2009 when Robert Mueller, now the special counsel in charge of the Trump case, was still FBI director. And it ended in late 2015 under the direction of then-FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump fired earlier this year.

In November, Mother Jones interviewed Clinton, who claimed that she could not be investigated by the Trump administration because it would constitute an “abuse of power.”

“If they send a signal that we’re going to be like some dictatorship, like some authoritarian regime, where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated, that rips at the fabric of the contract we have, that we can trust our justice system,” Clinton said.

"Mueller is a bad joke who doesn’t seem to be in on it. He’s bumbling forward, apparently ignorant of just how horrible it looks – how horrible it is – to have hired no one but committed Hillary donors for his team. Actually, it’s much, much worse than that – he’s actually hired lawyers who represented some of the unindicted criminals associated with the Clinton mosaic of corruption. Perhaps in the world Mueller inhabits with tools like Jim Comey, another buffoon who loves to preen in the glow of a once-spotless reputation that he chose to Schiff all over, this plays. But in the real world, in our world, it’s a sham, and not a very good one at that."


I still think Mueller knew exactly what he was doing when he built his team. The OIG investigation started before his team was assembled.

I even bolded it so to make it less confusing for you.

I disagree with everything that I quoted from the author of the OP. I believe Mueller picked his team specifically because of their ties to Clinton. I believe Mueller coordinated with the OIG before picking his team. I believe Mueller and Trump discussed this in their private meeting the day before Mueller was named Special Counsel. I believe Mueller put that team together knowing the OIG would be tracking and investigating every single one of his team. We are starting to see the results of the operation now.

BOMBSHELL: Susan Rice Admits She 'Unmasked' Senior Trump Officials


Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice told members of the House Intelligence Committee she intentionally “unmasked” senior Trump associates because of a meeting held between campaign officials and a crown prince from the United Arab Emirates.

According to CNN, Rice told lawmakers in a private hearing that Obama officials requested the identities of Trump’s aides because they were concerned over a New York City meeting between a U.A.E. Sheikh and those with close ties to Trump’s transition team.

The Sheikh reportedly met with Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, and Steve Bannon in New York City on December 15th.

Rice said the Obama administration was interested in the meeting because other U.A.E. officials intentionally concealed the visit from American officials; raising alarm bells over the nature of the trip and whether it related to “foreign collusion” in the 2016 presidential election.

The former National Security Advisor admitted to the House Intelligence Committee that she specifically requested the “unmasking” of Americans who were mentioned in intelligence reports associated with the visit.

Earlier this year, Susan Rice denied she intentionally revealed the identities of senior Trump officials, saying “The allegation is that somehow the Obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes […] That’s absolutely false.”

Nunes on the hunt!


Secret Republican committee is investigating alleged Trump-Russia connections. Here’s why.


Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have secretly met for weeks in the Capitol to “build a case” that the Justice Department and FBI mishandled a dossier of information on alleged ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, Politico reported.

The side committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), hopes to uncover “corruption and conspiracy in the upper ranks of federal law enforcement.” They have consulted with the House’s general counsel, but have not told Democrats what they are doing, according to Politico. The group expects to release a report detailing their concerns in early 2018.

Democrats are calling it an attempt to discredit Robert Mueller, the former FBI director serving as special counsel for the Trump-Russia investigation.

Politico reported:

“To Democrats, the GOP offensive is an attempt to distract from the investigation of Trump associates by Mueller, who has already indicted Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and secured a guilty plea from his first national security adviser, Michael Flynn. There are indications he’s investigating whether Trump obstructed justice by firing former FBI Director James Comey, whose exit led to Mueller taking over the Russia probe.”

How did it get to this point?

FBI Director James Comey told Trump a dossier was collected on Trump’s alleged Russian ties. Trump has called the allegations “fiction.” Republicans on Capitol Hill also say the information is not credible. Trump fired Comey in May.

According to published reports, the Democratic National Committee paid for the dossier, which was prepared in 2016 by “a former MI6 British intelligence operative.” The report detailed alleged links between Trump, his campaign, and Russia. Marc Elias, an attorney with the Clinton campaign and the DNC, hired a Washington investigative firm, Fusion GPS to conduct the research. Fusion then hired Christopher Steele, the ex-British intelligence agent, to piece together the alleged Trump-Russia connection.

Republicans allege that the FBI, Department of Justice, and Mueller’s team are biased. They’ve pointed out that Mueller’s attorneys gave donations to Democrats. They have also noted that two senior FBI officials, formerly assigned to the special counsel’s office, bashed Trump in a series of text messages. The text messages were revealed by the Department of Justice inspector general.

When is this expected to end?

On Monday, Trump predicted he would soon be exonerated by Mueller’s investigation. But the investigation could continue into late 2018, Vanity Fair reported. That’s partly because Flynn and former Trump adviser George Papadopoulos, who both pleaded guilty to minor charges, have said they are willing to cooperate with the FBI and supply information.

“I think it’s possible [that during the meeting] Mueller’s team could give them an idea of how much longer they anticipate their investigation will last,” Peter Zeidenberg, a former deputy special counsel, told The Washington Post. “I would be shocked if they have a timeline anything similar to what we’ve heard coming from the White House.”

What are people saying?

Illinois Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D) said on Twitter that he has asked the intelligence committee to continue investigating the alleged “Russian interference in our democracy.”

943678028965695489

The Project on Government Oversight tweeted that Republicans should not conduct a secret investigation that excludes Democrats. POGO describes itself as a non-partisan “investigative organization with an expertise for working with sources inside the government and whistle-blowers to document evidence of corruption, waste, fraud, or abuse.” POGO was founded in 1981.

FBI Director James Comey previously testified that the dossier was “salacious and unverified.”

In August, the House Intelligence Committee asked the FBI and Justice Department in a subpoena for information on the efforts to validate the dossier — sources indicate that neither provided documents in response.

BuzzFeed’s Trump Dossier Source Gets Closer To Being Identified


A lawyer for a Russian businessman suing BuzzFeed over the infamous dossier suggested on Thursday that the website’s source for the salacious document has finally been identified.

Val Gurvits, a lawyer for Russian tech businessman Aleksej Gubarev, made the revelation in response to a federal magistrate judge’s ruling in favor of BuzzFeed.

Magistrate Judge John J. O’Sullivan ruled in a Miami court on Thursday that BuzzFeed was protected by reporter’s privilege from having to identify the person who provided it with the dossier.

Gubarev’s lawyers have battled for months to figure out who gave BuzzFeed the unverified document, which was written by former British spy Christopher Steele and published on Jan. 10.

The attorneys have sought to find out what BuzzFeed’s source said about the veracity of the dossier. If the source told BuzzFeed that the allegations in the report were unverified, shaky or false, Gubarev’s attorneys would argue that the website was negligent in publishing Steele’s allegations.

The final memo of the dossier — dated Dec. 13, 2016 — alleges that Gubarev and two of his tech companies hacked into the DNC’s computer systems. Gubarev vehemently denied the allegations and filed suit in February. BuzzFeed apologized to Gubarev and redacted his name from the version of the dossier that it published online.

BuzzFeed has argued that it is protected by the First Amendment from having to reveal confidential sources.

O’Sullivan’s ruling backed up that argument in a move praised by BuzzFeed.

“We’re pleased the judge has reaffirmed the right of news organizations to safeguard the identities of sources — a right that is protected under both state and federal law,” BuzzFeed spokeswoman Katie Rayford told TheDC of O’Sullivan’s ruling.

But the ruling is moot, says Gurvits.

“What the Court really said here is that before BuzzFeed could be required to tell us its source, we had to try to get the information from other places,” he told The Daily Caller.

“As it turns out, we were able to get the information we wanted and were actually in the process of withdrawing the Motion when this decision issued.”

“And while I cannot as of yet reveal this information, it is certainly not something I would celebrate if I was BuzzFeed,” he added.

Gurvits was unable to identify BuzzFeed’s source because of a gag order imposed on the case, he said.

Asked for a response to Gurvit’s remarks, Rayford shot back, saying that “the First Amendment gives plaintiffs every right to try to spin a loss as a win, but in this case it will not work.”

“The issue before the court was about protecting sources and the judge ruled clearly in BuzzFeed’s favor,” she said.

While Gurvits said he is as yet unable to reveal the BuzzFeed source, the universe of people who handled the document is exceedingly small.

Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that hired Steele, had access to the report. But its lawyers have denied in court filings that the company provided the dossier to BuzzFeed.

Steele has denied in court filings in London, where he is being sued by Gubarev, that he gave the dossier to BuzzFeed. Arizona Sen. John McCain has also denied being BuzzFeed’s source. The Republican was provided a copy of the dossier last December.

One person known to have handled the dossier who has not publicly denied being BuzzFeed’s source is David Kramer, a former State Department official who served as an executive at the McCain Institute.

McCain dispatched Kramer to London on Nov. 28, 2016 to meet with Steele. During the meeting, Kramer and Steele agreed that the retired spy would provide McCain with the dossier. Steele has revealed in court filings that Kramer and McCain obtained the document through Fusion.

Kramer had avoided commenting on his handling of the dossier for months, dodging media questions and subpoena requests from Gubarev’s lawyers. But, he was finally deposed by Gubarev’s legal team earlier this month. He was also interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee earlier this week.

“The NRC never issued an export license to the Russian firm, a fact so engrained in the narrative of the Uranium One controversy that it showed up in The Washington Post's official fact-checker site this week. "We have noted repeatedly that extracted uranium could not be exported by Russia without a license, which Rosatom does not have," the Post reported on Monday, linking to the 2011 Barrasso letter.

Yet NRC memos reviewed by The Hill show that it did approve the shipment of yellowcake uranium - the raw material used to make nuclear fuel and weapons - from the Russian-owned mines in the United States to Canada in 2012 through a third party. Later, the Obama administration approved some of that uranium going all the way to Europe, government documents show.”

And we need to get this information out. There’s no excuse for why we don’t know these key answers about who paid for the Trump Dossier, how it was used, and what was in the FISA application. Plus, information about the FBI’s texts and even the Clinton Lynch tarmac meeting – we’re still fighting about that. What’s the hold up? These agencies need to be transparent.”

2 guilty pleas and 2 arrests so far. In less than a year that is lightning quick.

Trump's approval rating is 37%, a historical low. The GOP lost the last general and special elections in resounding fashion.

McConnell is fearful in private of losing both chambers which would open up a possible impeachment.

The market has been doing great since 2009 --we personally regained our 2008 losses in less than a year-- and has not been a good economic indicator for a century unless it tanks. You should review the Coolidge presidency and the beginning of the Hoover administration.

And your preferred party is performing like shit and it's leadership is panicking. The last two big policy changes have disapproval ratings around 70% and midterms campaigns start next season.

I love how the right easily forgets that the economy was on an upward spiral with Obama. They like to pretend Trump came in facing the disaster Obama had on his plate. Trump walked into as good as a situation that Clinton left Bush II.

BREAKING: Andrew McCabe Reportedly Plans To Retire From FBI Early Next Year


Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe plans to retire from the bureau early next year, according to a new report.

McCabe is retiring amid heavy scrutiny from congressional Republicans over his roles in the Russia investigation and the Clinton email probe. Top Republican lawmakers like Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley have recently called for McCabe’s ouster.

According to The Washington Post, McCabe will leave his post in a few months, after he becomes eligible for full pension benefits.

McCabe, 49, met for hours earlier this week with members of three Congressional committees to discuss his work on the Trump and Clinton investigations.

He was interviewed on Tuesday by the House Intelligence Committee, which focused on his involvement in handling the infamous Trump dossier. Fox News reported that McCabe offered few details about the dossier or the Russia investigation, which was opened at the end of July 2016.

Fox News reported that McCabe was unable to say what parts of the salacious dossier have been verified by the FBI.

On Thursday, McCabe met jointly with members of the House Judiciary and House Oversight and Government Reform Committees. The Russia investigation was off limits during that interview. Instead, McCabe was pressed on his role in the Clinton email investigation.

McCabe recused himself from that probe shortly before the presidential campaign after it was reported that his wife received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a staunch ally of the Clintons.

One Republican lawmaker who took part in Thursday’s interview told The Daily Caller that Republicans were dissatisfied with McCabe’s answers regarding the Clinton investigation. The lawmaker declined to offer details about what part of McCabe’s testimony was inadequate.

McCabe has faced the heaviest criticism of late over a text message sent last year by Peter Strzok, the former FBI counterintelligence officer who supervised the collusion investigation.

It was revealed earlier this month that Strzok sent a text message on Aug. 15, 2016 which referenced a meeting that was seemingly held in McCabe’s FBI office.

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” Strzok wrote to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer who worked closely with McCabe. (RELATED: FBI Officials Discussed ‘Insurance Policy’ Against Trump Presidency)

“It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”

Republicans have expressed concern over what “insurance policy” FBI officials had in mind.

Strzok was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation in July, when the text messages were discovered.

McCabe’s departure comes days after The Post reported that FBI general counsel Jim Baker will be reassigned.

The Plot Against Mueller — And The Rule Of Law


In Washington, the anti-Trump resistance talks about a “constitutional crisis (https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/12/11/america-is-heading-for-an-unprecedented-constitutional-crisis/)” while the president and his allies decry a “rigged system (https://www.newsweek.com/trump-mueller-deep-state-rigged-753572).”

They’re using different vocabulary to describe the same thing:

the coming death match fight for control of the U.S. legal system.


The Republicans who once praised Mueller or warned against his firing have announced retirement (https://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/26/corker-to-retire-after-2018-243168), fallen silent (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/12/trump-impeachment/547358/) or turned into Trump toadies (https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/graham-goes-full-trump-loyalist).


According to the man who was once the nation’s top law enforcement officer, the weakness and impending failure of Washington institutions is practically certain.

The truth is that the “red line” of Washington consensus that protects the special prosecutor process

has been eroded by the anti-Mueller campaign,

which cultivates fear and anger to depict the mechanism of accountability as

a threat, not just to Trump, but to America itself.

The demonization campaign is multipronged.

Justice Department officials leaked (https://www.businessinsider.com/peter-strzok-page-texts-mueller-russia-trump-2017-12)the private texts of FBI agent Peter Strzok,

Breitbart (https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/19/report-fbis-peter-strzoks-insurance-policy-text-was-referring-to-russia-probe/) and Fox News (https://insider.foxnews.com/2017/12/17/judge-jeanine-pirro-opening-statement-fbi-crime-family-mccabe-strzok-ohr-must-be-fired) supply the analysis. :lol

Congressmen are deployed as conspiracy theorists disguised as whistleblowers.

The rhetoric of rage, disgust and control add emotional force to the pro-Trump narrative.

People are “very, very angry about the FBI (https://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/12/15/cnns-tapper-trump-supporters-fox-news-using-incredibly-extremist-anti-fbi-rhetoric/),” Trump responded, adding, “we have a lot of sickness in some of our institutions.” :lol

Donald Trump Jr. said. “There are people at the highest levels of government that don’t want to let America be America (https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-fbi-agents-account-insurance-policy-text-referred-to-russia-probe-1513624580?mg=prod/accounts-wsj).”

“Let America be America” is the full flowering of the anti-Mueller narrative. This isn’t about Russia, the argument goes, this is about America.

the right-wing media have layered on other Washington storylines, which have little or no substantive connection to the Russia investigation.

stories have everything to do with creating justifications for getting rid of Mueller.

The first was Uranium One (https://www.politico.com/story/2017/11/14/hillary-clinton-uranium-one-deal-russia-explainer-244895),

Now comes the Republican campaign to justify the killing of net neutrality by the FCC. Rep. Marsh Blackburn (R-Tenn.) has introduced legislation that allegedly “aims to ultimately end the heated debate (https://dailycaller.com/2017/12/19/rep-blackburn-introduces-bill-to-codify-net-neutrality/) around so-called ‘net neutrality’ regulations.”

The notion of “net neutrality” as a thwarted liberal conspiracy doesn’t have anything to do with Mueller and bears little relation to reality.

So we can expect the firing of Mueller to be portrayed, not as a defense of Trump’s Russia-related actions, but as an attack on a “rigged system,” a defense of free speech and a purging of corruption.

if we don’t see massive popular protest to protect the special prosecutor,

the plot against Mueller may well succeed in killing the rule of law in America.

Kremlin trolls burned across the Internet as Washington debated options

U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies saw some warning signs of Russian meddling in Europe and later in the United States but never fully grasped the breadth of the Kremlin’s ambitions.

Top U.S. policymakers didn’t appreciate the dangers, then scrambled to draw up options to fight back.

In the end, big plans died of internal disagreement,

(When Congressional leaders met with the WH in 2016 about Russian meddling, specifically McConnell refused to agree to expose the Russian meddling. I'd say McConnell is yet another Repug Pootin bff)

a fear of making matters worse or a misguided belief in the resilience of American society and its democratic institutions.

One previously unreported order —

a sweeping presidential finding to combat global cyberthreats —

prompted U.S. spy agencies to plan a half-dozen specific operations to counter the Russian threat. But one year after those instructions were given,

the Trump White House remains divided over whether to act, :lol well, duh :lol

Republicans Are So Terrified That Trump Is Going Down That They Are Trying To Purge The DOJ and FBI


Republican Rep. Francis Rooney (R-FL) openly called for a purge of the FBI and DOJ as nervousness that the end is near for Trump is sweeping through the Republican Party.

“I would like to see the directors of the agencies purging. And say, look, we have a lot of great agents, a lot of great lawyers here, those are the people I want the American people to see and know the good work is being done, not the team in the deep state.”

“Well, I think that Mr. Strozik could be purged, sure.” ( Sessions leaked to scapegoat Strozik, do Repugs/Fox/Breitbart could impugn FBI and DoJ)

offered a meritless claim that the Russia investigation had gone “off the rails,” so a

purge was needed to get the DOJ and FBI back on track, and

by on track, Republicans mean not investigating Donald Trump.

When they defend Trump, they are risking their own political lives, but

the sense of terror is palpable.

Donald Trump is going down, and some Republicans are risking everything to try and save him.

Russia wants Americans to doubt Robert Mueller

Russian meddling in the 2016 election was apparently just the prequel.

Now America's former Cold War rival is using social media to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe, a former CIA official and a former Republican congressman said Monday night.

Russia is still busy using its social media tools to create down across the U.S. about Mueller's integrity.

“There is a perception among the media and general public that Russia ended its social-media operations following last year's election and that we need worry only about future elections,” the pair wrote.

“But that perception is wrong.

Russia's information operations in the United States continued after the election and they continue to this day.”

During one week in early December, for example,

roughly 20 percent (http://dashboard.securingdemocracy.org/) of the activity from accounts tied to Russian intelligence for propaganda was focused on undermining faith in Mueller's investigation

“Russian operatives have frequently targeted Republican politicians who have been critical of Trump, including Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) and Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.),”

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/russia-wants-americans-to-doubt-robert-mueller-experts-warn/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRawStory+%28The+Raw+Story% 29 (https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/russia-wants-americans-to-doubt-robert-mueller-experts-warn/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRawStory+%28The+Raw+Story% 29)

So Repugs, right wing hate media attacking Mueller are STILL doing traitorous, subversive work for Pootin.

And 10Ms of ignorant, gullible, duped Repug voters are OK with treason and subversion.

America is fucked and unfuckable

FBI Software For Analyzing Fingerprints Contains Russian-Made Code, Whistleblowers Say

In a secret deal, a French company purchased code from a Kremlin-connected firm,

incorporated it into its own software, and

according to documents and two whistleblowers.

The allegations raise concerns that Russian hackers could compromise law enforcement computer systems.

Beleaguered FBI admits it can’t verify dossier claims of Russia, Trump collusion


The Federal Bureau of Investigation is declining to repudiate the Russia dossier on which it partially relied to start an investigation into the Trump campaign, but it concedes the document’s major core charges of election collusion remain uncorroborated.

Sources familiar with House and Senate investigations say this is the FBI’s dossier talking point 17 months after agents were first briefed in July 2016 as Donald Trump battled Hillary Clinton for the White House.

The most recent FBI witness was Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who spent nearly eight hours last week in a closed session before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Republicans believe they have unearthed a scandal inside the bureau’s top echelons over its determination to target Trump associates based on flimsy evidence and improper Justice Department contacts.

Republican committee members pressed Mr. McCabe about a dossier that was financed by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign based on gossip-tinged information from paid, unidentified Kremlin operatives.

Mr. McCabe declined to criticize the dossier’s 35 pages of salacious and criminal charges against Donald Trump and his aides, but he said it remains largely unverified, according to a source familiar with ongoing congressional inquiries

Sources speculated to The Washington Times that it would be embarrassing for Mr. McCabe to condemn a political opposition research paper on which his agents based decisions to open a counterintelligence investigation and interview witnesses. Some press reports said the FBI cited the dossier’s information in requests for court-approved wiretaps.

The Washington Post reported Saturday that Mr. McCabe plans to retire early next year.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz is investigating whether Mr. McCabe should have recused himself from the Clinton email investigation in 2015 and 2016. Mr. McCabe’s wife, an unsuccessful 2015 Democratic candidate for Virginia state Senate, received more than $700,000 in campaign donations from two PACs, one of which was controlled by Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a close Clinton ally.

Mr. Horowitz announced the investigation shortly before Mr. Trump took office. Since then, his probe has widened into whether the FBI investigation into suspected Trump-Russia collusion is rigged.

It centers on the FBI’s Peter Strzok, the lead agent in the Trump case until special counsel Robert Mueller fired him in July. The reason: He sent a number of text messages ridiculing Mr. Trump to Lisa Page, his FBI lover. He texted about a meeting with “Andy” — apparently Mr. McCabe — in which it was discussed that Mr. Trump had no chance of winning, but there was a risk he might.

“I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” Mr. Strzok said in August 2016. “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”

Related: Clinton and The Fusion GPS dossier was one of the dirtiest political tricks in American history

The dossier’s author, former British spy Christopher Steele, bragged to Mother Jones magazine in October 2016 that he successfully urged the FBI to begin investigating the Trump team based on his memos. Republicans have ridiculed the bureau for trusting a paid agent of the Clinton campaign.

Related: All eyes on FBI’s McCabe after text suggests officials discussed anti-Trump ‘insurance policy’

Fox News and the Washington Examiner reported that Republicans asked what parts of the dossier the FBI had confirmed. Mr. McCabe said the only substantiated collusion-related incident was that Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page traveled to Moscow in July 2016.

The answer surprised Republicans: Mr. Page’s trip to deliver a speech at a university was widely publicized at the time.

An FBI spokesman declined to comment on Mr. McCabe’s testimony because it was given during a closed hearing.

What is unfolding for the House intelligence committee is an investigation that has broadened from supposed collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Driven by Chairman Devin Nunes, California Republican, the committee is examining the following:

• Who funded the dossier and how its information was spread by paymaster Fusion GPS and then used by the FBI.

• The Obama administration’s “unmasking” of the identities of private citizens caught up in surveillance of foreigners.

• Recent misconduct inside the Department of Justice and the FBI.

For months, Mr. Nunes repeatedly pressed the Justice Department to explain why Mr. Mueller fired his top FBI agent, Mr. Strzok. Eventually, Justice turned over text messages showing Mr. Strzok’s deep biases toward the man he was investigating, Mr. Trump.

The committee also unearthed the fact that senior Justice attorney Bruce Ohr made contact with Mr. Steele during the presidential campaign and that Mr. Ohr’s wife was employed by Fusion GPS at the time it was investigating the Trump campaign’s Russia ties. The Justice Department stripped Mr. Ohr of one of his two portfolios.

Most recently, The Washington Post reported that James Baker, the FBI’s general counsel and a close associate of fired FBI Director James B. Comey, was being transferred. Politico reported that Mr. Baker during the election had contact with the Mother Jones reporter who interviewed Mr. Steele via Skype and gave much credence to his dossier.

“This is really problematic for the FBI and DOJ right now,” said the source familiar with the congressional investigations. “They realize stonewalling is not going to work anymore, but they haven’t decided on a new strategy to manage the deluge of information spilling out about top officials’ conflicts of interest, their use of the Steele dossier and their own connections to Fusion GPS.”

Mr. Comey took to his Twitter account Friday night to lament Mr. Baker’s fate.

“Sadly, we are now at a point in our political life when anyone can be attacked for partisan gain,” Mr. Comey tweeted. “James Baker, who is stepping down as FBI General Counsel, served our country incredibly well for 25 years & deserves better. He is what we should all want our public servants to be.”

Trump Lawyers Double Down On Prediction About Mueller's Russia Probe

Predict "expeditious wrapping up of this matter"


One of President Trump's lawyers said Monday that his legal team stood by their prediction that special counsel Robert Mueller would soon absolve the president of any wrongdoing in the Russia probe.

"I know we, collectively, the lawyers, are looking forward to an expeditious wrapping up of this matter," Jay Sekulow told The Wall Street Journal on Monday.

Trump's team had previously predicted that Mueller would absolve Trump before New Year's, but they shifted the prediction to the end of January in light of recent developments, particularly Trump's former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn pleading guilty to lying to the FBI.

Other legal experts aren't so sure. In fact, some are predicting the investigation to be drawn out for months, perhaps even through the end of 2018, as NYU's Stephen Gillers told the Journal. "Flynn is cooperating, and that cooperation is likely to lead to further subjects or targets of the investigation. ... If this wraps up by the end of 2018, I’d be amazed," said Gillers.

On Tuesday, Trump unloaded yet again on the document used as the initial rationale to begin the "collusion" inquiry, the unverified and Democrat-funded "Steele Dossier."

"WOW, @foxandfrlends 'Dossier is bogus. Clinton Campaign, DNC funded Dossier. FBI CANNOT (after all of this time) VERIFY CLAIMS IN DOSSIER OF RUSSIA/TRUMP COLLUSION. FBI TAINTED.' And they used this Crooked Hillary pile of garbage as the basis for going after the Trump Campaign!" tweeted Trump.

Over the Christmas weekend, the president slammed members of the FBI, particularly Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former FBI Director James Comey, for political bias.

"How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?" Trump wrote Saturday.

"FBI’s Andrew McCabe, 'in addition to his wife getting all of this money from M (Clinton Puppet), he was using, allegedly, his FBI Official Email Account to promote her campaign. You obviously cannot do this. These were the people who were investigating Hillary Clinton,'" Trump added Sunday.

Trump's not the only one to highlight McCabe's alleged bias. Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley recently called for the deputy director to be "replaced." Others, however, warn that Trump removing another FBI figure would look bad after his firing of Comey.

But apparently the debate will soon be moot; McCabe is reportedly planning to retire in the next three months, something Trump trolled him about in another Christmas break tweet. "FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits. 90 days to go?!!!" he wrote.

GOP Congressman: Robert Mueller Damaged FBI More Than Anyone Else, Out For 'Trump’s Scalp'


Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert said on Tuesday that he believes special counsel Robert Mueller is out to get President Donald Trump’s “scalp,” and claimed that Mueller has a track record of showing disdain toward anyone who identifies as conservative.

Gohmert joined Fox & Friends to speak on the latest revelations about FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, including that he had already planned his upcoming retirement before quickly shifting gears and focusing on Mueller.

“I have said since day one, since he was appointed, he's bad news,” Gohmert said. “He's out for a scalp. He would love to get Trump’s scalp. He would love to be the hero of the left to take out Donald Trump. He will do everything he can to do that and Mueller is not going to be deterred by these people falling around him.”

Gohmert also noted how destructive Mueller was to the FBI and said that he weakened the federal agency more than any other person in history.

“He purged the training records of anything that offended radical Islamists. For example, the Boston bomber, they went out and talked to him, because of Mueller they didn’t know what to ask.”

Turkish Government Hires FBI Director’s Longtime Friend For Work On Mystery ‘Legal Matter’


The Turkish government has hired FBI Director Christopher Wray’s longtime friend and former law partner Andrew C. Hruska to work on an unspecified proposal to the Justice Department, according to newly filed government documents.

Hruska, a partner at the law firm King & Spalding, recently registered as a foreign agent of Turkey, according to documents released by the Justice Department on Saturday.

The filings state that King & Spalding, where Wray worked until taking the FBI job, was hired “to prepare and present a proposal to the U.S. Department of Justice for cooperation between the governments of the United States and Turkey regarding the handling of a U.S. legal matter.”

“You are engaging the firm to provide legal services in connection with a specific matter,” reads a contract signed on Nov. 21 by Hruska and Turkish Ambassador Serdar Kilic.

There is no indication of impropriety with the agreement. And it is unclear whether the FBI would also be involved in the case that Hruska has been tapped to handle. But Hruska’s close relationship to Wray raises questions about the Turkish government’s rationale for hiring the lawyer.

Hruska and Wray have known each other for 45 years and attended kindergarten, high school and college together. They worked together in the George W. Bush Justice Department before joining King & Spalding. Hruska vouched for Wray in several interviews prior to his confirmation as FBI director.

“He thinks clearly, he makes commitments, he keeps commitments,” Hruska told NPR of his pal in an interview earlier this year.

Hruska’s hiring fits Ankara’s pattern of hiring well-connected lobbyists and lawyers to handle some of its most controversial projects.

Earlier this year, the Turkish government hired Trump confidant Rudolph Giuliani as part of the legal team representing Reza Zarrab, a Turkish-Iranian gold trader who faced money laundering and bribery charges for operating a scheme to skirt sanctions against Iran.

The Turkish government and its president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, have kept a watchful eye on the case because of evidence that implicates Erdogan and members of his family in the sanctions busting scheme.

Giuliani was hired to negotiate a potential deal between the Trump administration and Turkish government to prevent the Zarrab case from going to trial. The deal apparently fell through as Zarrab recently pleaded guilty and has testified against the Turkish government in federal court in New York City.

The Turkish embassy has also hired Ballard Partners, a Florida-based lobbying shop operated by Brian Ballard, one of the Trump campaign’s top Florida fundraisers.

Ballard has been paid a total of $1.125 million so far this year by the Turkish government and Halkbank, a government-owned bank whose executives have been charged in the Zarrab case. Lobbying disclosure reports show that Ballard held several meetings with White House officials to discuss “U.S.-Turkey relations.”

The Turkish government made another high-profile connection to Trumpworld last year. In Aug. 2016, a Turkish businessman who operates a trade group controlled by the government signed a $600,000 contract with retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. (RELATED: Michael Flynn Is Lobbying For Turkish Businessman)

The aim of the project was to develop a media campaign against Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim cleric living in exile in the U.S. Erdogan has accused Gulen, his former ally, of orchestrating a failed coup attempt that left more than 250 people dead in Ankara and Istanbul in July 2016.

Erdogan has expressed outrage towards the U.S. for harboring Gulen, who he considers a terrorist. He has raised Gulen’s extradition with both Presidents Trump and Obama, and his government ministers regularly broach the issue with top State Department and Justice Department officials.

The Turkish government claims to have turned over evidence tying Gulen to the coup. But Gulen denies being involved in the failed putsch, and the U.S. government has indicated that the Turks have not provided enough evidence to support their allegations.

In another case, the Turkish government has pressured U.S. authorities over charges filed against members of Erdogan’s security for an attack they waged against peaceful protesters outside of Ambassador Kilic’s residence in Washington, D.C. on May 16.

Erdogan and Kilic were on the scene that day as a group of Erdogan’s bodyguards and supporters attacked the protesters. Fifteen members of Erdogan’s security detail and four civilian supporters of the authoritarian leader were indicted in the case.

There is no indication that Hruska has been involved in those cases, though it was revealed on Saturday that charges were dropped last month against four members of Erdogan’s security detail.

An English-language Turkish news outlet called Ahval reported that the charges were dropped on Nov. 7, a couple of weeks before Hruska signed the contract with the Turkish government.

Hruska did not respond to a request for comment about the legal matter he was hired by the Turkish government to handle. The Turkish embassy also did not reply to a request for comment.
