Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

You're*

Uh yeah we know that already.

Read the last part.

Makes as much sense as you thinking the postponement has to do with Flynn's innocence.

[DarrinS]

It will end before you have a take on it.

My take is that this investigation was politically motivated and a waste of time.

Why are you so convinced Flynn is a bad guy, and Mueller is a good guy? Never said the postponement proved Flynn's innocence per se, I was simply mocking Pavlov. I do believe Flynn is innocent though, just guilty of talking to the Feds without a lawyer. Perjury traps are common especially when they are desperate for negative dirt on Trump. Flynn was sacrificed to validate a nothingburger. Now fingers are being pointed at Mueller.

[DarrinS]

Schiff is a lunatic.

I’m looking forward to the conclusion of this dumb shit.

Its concluded.

A felon is now singing. Flynn got caught lying and he's now talking. Maybe in 5 years we might know what kind of deal he made to accept his guilt. His son has appeared to have escaped. Maybe he took it for his son.

As far as Mueller... He's going after more people dear to Trump IMO. Trump wants to own the FBI and DOJ like he does his butler. That's not going to happen. He's making things worse. Nunes has climbed on board.

This thread was over when Flynn pleaded out.
So I guess we are attempting to set a record for pages.
Or, it's really about the entirety of Trump battling the FBI and DOJ to stop picking at his buddies and relatives.

What's funny to me is the FBI agents who made disparaging remarks about Trump did the same thing to Hillary. Seems they basically hate lying politicians and forgot their neutrality. And we know in reality there are a bunch of people in the FBI who support a party privately, Republican and Democrat. I would venture a guess that before Trump the rank and file were mostly Republicans.

I’m a Republican. Why Is My Party Gaslighting America?

By AMANDA CARPENTER January 30, 2018

Riddle me this: If Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have smoking gun evidence of a deep-state conspiracy that threatens American democracy itself, wouldn’t they be doing more than playing silly hashtag games, such as #ReleasetheMemo?

Hint: The answer is yes. If this were a serious undertaking, congressional investigators would be collaborating with the Department of Justice, FBI and relevant Senate committees to save America from the threat within. But we’re no longer dealing in the realm of facts and reason when it comes to grave matters of security and justice. We are, at Donald Trump’s behest, fully engulfed in a narrative explicitly designed to impugn and destroy the credibility of the law enforcement agency tasked with investigating the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia during the 2016 election....

Nunes' extracurricular Russia activities could put him in Mueller's crosshairs

former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance explained that Nunes, by going beyond the scope of his normal oversight responsibilities in Congress,

may have sacrificed any criminal immunity he otherwise would have enjoyed in the course of performing his duties.

Vance offered the insight after she was asked about recently released Intelligence Committee transcripts (http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG00/20180129/106822/HMTG-115-IG00-Transcript-20180129.pdf) revealing that

Nunes refused to tell Democrats (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1/31/1737560/-Memogate-Nunes-secret-document-turns-out-to-be-yet-another-scheme-from-the-Trump-White-House) whether he had worked with the White House to compile his secret memo.
“That could end up being incredibly damaging to him in the long run,”

Vance said,

“because although he would have immunity for his actions on the floor of the House and his dealings with his colleagues,

if this were ultimately deemed to be part of the pattern of obstruction that we seem to be seeing around the Russia investigation,

then by cooperating with the White House—which it looks like happened here—

he could be exposing himself to liability. Certainly I think he'll have an invitation to visit with Bob Mueller's team.”

Vance acknowledged that the speech and debate clause in the Constitution does offer "broad protection."

But she added:

If he has gone outside of the work of his congressional subcommittee and

is coordinating with the White House to develop a product

that is intended either to distract from the Russian investigation or

to give the White House a hook for firing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,

then this could fall outside of the immunity.

Vance noted that any such loss of immunity would likely be “hotly contested,” but

she said Nunes’s actions give “the appearance of something that may have breached the protection that that immunity provides.”

Ex-Bush ethics lawyer: It looks like Devin Nunes is ‘getting money from the Russians’

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) may be “getting money from the Russians”

because the congressman has taken a number of actions designed to derail the investigation into Russia’s interference in U.S. elections.
During an MSNBC panel discussion, Painter said that a White House plan to release a Nunes-connected memo smearing the FBI is “undermining our national security.”

“There’s classified information in this memo,” Painter explained.

“And the only person who is going to benefit from it being released is Vladimir Putin.

He’s going to find out more about our sources and

how we knew that various associates of Donald Trump were collaborating with the Russians.”

This is an abuse of our intelligence apparatus.”

“President Trump won’t mind if Vladimir Putin wins as long as he wins,”

“Why is Congressman Nunes behaving this way?” Painter asked.

“What’s he getting out of it?

Is he getting money from the Russians?

I don’t know.”

“Fasten your seatbelts…” NEW Rebel contributor Dr. Sebastian Gorka untangles the latest Trump/Russia reports

[Chris]

GOP case: FBI probe based on tainted evidence linked to Clinton


Congressional Republicans are seeking to make the case that the FBI’s investigation into President Trump’s campaign and possible collusion with Russia was based on flawed or politically tainted evidence connected to partisans loyal to Hillary Clinton.

The House Intelligence Committee memo spearheaded by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) that is the talk of Washington will be at the center of the argument. The release of that four-page memo is expected as early as Friday.

Another document — an eight-page criminal referral filed with the Justice Department by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) — is also part of the GOP case.

While the FBI has been protesting the release of the Nunes memo, it has been working behind the scenes to vet a version of the Grassley-Graham memo, which is expected to be released in redacted form soon. The FBI is also seeking redactions to the Nunes memo, though it is not clear the White House or congressional Republicans will agree to them.

Republicans believe both documents will back up arguments that evidence used to justify the FBI’s probe came from partisans loyal to Clinton, sources said. They are also expected to play into arguments from some Republicans that special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia is based on false information.


Those suggestions have provoked a backlash from Democrats. Some Republicans have also expressed concerns, with GOP leaders saying Mueller should be allowed to continue his work. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Tuesday backed releasing the Nunes memo but also offered support for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The GOP's arguments that the FBI investigated on flimsy evidence will zero in on ex-British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, whose unverified dossier of Trump allegations gave enormous momentum to the probe during the bitterly fought 2016 presidential election, say sources familiar with the memo.

They will argue the FBI failed to critically assess the political motives and credibility of Steele and did not fully disclose that evidence came from Clinton supporters as it sought to get permission from courts for surveillance warrants.

“The fact that half to three-quarters of the evidence the FBI used to unleash the most awesome of surveillance powers upon Donald Trump’s inner circle came from sources tied directly to his Democratic opponent should worry us all, especially when that happened during an election,” said one senior Republican directly familiar with the evidence, describing the party’s core concerns.

“The FBI allowed itself to be used by Clinton partisans to parlay single-sourced, mostly unverified evidence into a counterintelligence probe with clear weaknesses that weren’t disclosed,” the source added.

Sources in both parties and in law enforcement say the emergence of Steele and his dossier in the summer of 2016 gave the FBI the jolt to open a full counterintelligence probe into alleged Trump-Russia collusion.

Steele, a British intelligence officer for decades, had provided reliable evidence that helped the FBI in a prior foreign corruption case and his early package of information contained multiple allegations of Trump-Russia collusion organized and sourced liked real raw intelligence, sources said.

So the FBI put great credence in Steele’s work product when it approached the courts for legal surveillance authority, even though much of what Steele provided could not be immediately corroborated, the sources said.

Steele was employed by the research firm Fusion GPS, which was in turn being paid to do opposition research on Trump by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

Fusion GPS was initially hired by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website backed in part by Republican donor Paul Singer, to dig into Trump. As Trump was clinching the GOP nomination, the Free Beacon told Fusion GPS to stop doing research. Fusion GPS was then hired by Clinton and the DNC through the law firm Perkins Coie.

Republican investigators say they have evidence that Steele first approached the FBI with his allegations on July 5, 2016, the same day then-FBI Director James Comey announced he would not pursue criminal charges against Clinton for passing more than 100 classified documents through her private email server.

Republicans believe the date of Steele's approach to the FBI is evidence of politics, since his employer was being paid by a Clinton campaign that for months was angered by the bureau's probe of the email controversy.

Republican investigators say it is unclear exactly when the FBI learned that Steele was being paid by Clinton's campaign. But by late July 2016, just weeks after he first contacted the FBI, the formal counterintelligence probe was opened, the sources said.

After Steele came forward, the FBI received information from a friendly foreign government that also pointed to possible links between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

The diplomat from Australia heard a Trump campaign aide named George Papadopoulos boasting in a bar that Russia was considering the release of damaging emails from Clinton during the election. The diplomat actually heard the conversation in May 2016 but it did not get reported to U.S. authorities until weeks later, after Steele had begun cooperating with the FBI, the sources said.

The FBI gave credence to the information both because it came from a trusted foreign source and because emails hacked from the Democratic Party and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta had already leaked onto the internet, the sources said. The FBI already suspected Russia was involved in those hacking attacks by the time the information was reported by the Australian diplomat, the sources said.

As the investigation was unfolding, Steele also forwarded the FBI a new piece of evidence with substantially similar information as that contained in his dossier. The FBI learned that information came from a private investigator with longtime ties to the Clinton inner circle, according to sources familiar with the evidence.

The sources declined to provide the private investigator's name, though British papers have suggested a Clinton supporter named Cody Shearer may have offered Steele information about Trump and Russia.

Republican investigators say they have developed evidence that Steele broke off his relationship with the FBI shortly before Election Day 2016 as he and his employer, Fusion GPS, began talking to reporters.

The investigators say the bumpy ending was due in part to the fact that Steele and Fusion GPS were upset the FBI suddenly reopened the Hillary Clinton email case but did not seem as invested in the Trump-Russia case. Many Democrats believe the FBI's reopening of the Clinton investigation cost her the election.

Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of Fusion GPS who hired Steele, acknowledged to the House Intelligence Committee in an interview that he and Steele began talking to reporters because they were angry about the reopening of the Clinton email case.

"We decided that if James Comey wasn't going to tell people about this investigation ... we would only be fair if the world knew that both candidates were under FBI investigation," Simpson testified.

Simpson separately told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Steele ended his FBI relationship because he was alarmed by a story in The New York Times on Oct. 31, 2016, that claimed the FBI had looked into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia but found nothing.

“Chris severed his relationship with the FBI out of concern that he didn't know what was happening inside the FBI and there was a concern that the FBI was being manipulated for political ends by the Trump people,” Simpson said.

According to the Republican investigator, the FBI also developed concerns that either Steele or his employer, Fusion GPS, were contacting media organizations to disseminate the very intelligence that was at the heart of its probe, the sources said.

Simpson, in his testimony, said he and Steele had conducted off-the-record briefings with reporters in the fall of 2016, but claimed none of the memos written by Steele were shown or given to the journalists who attended. The purpose of the briefings, he said, was to encourage reporters to ask questions about whether the FBI was in fact investigating ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Republicans plan to portray the timing of Steele’s cooperation, its abrupt ending, his connections to the private investigator, and the Clinton and DNC payments as prima facie evidence of politically motivated digging rather than high-quality intelligence worthy of the FBI’s extensive investigation, the sources said.

Grassley referred Steele to the Justice Department for contacts he and Fusion GPS had with the media around the same time he was cooperating with the FBI. Grassley has asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether Steele concealed those contacts from the FBI or whether the FBI knew about the contacts and did not properly disclose them to Congress or the courts.

The reason the media contacts raised red flags for both Senate and House GOP investigators is that the FBI used a fall 2016 news story with allegations of Trump-Russia collusion that were similar to Steele’s dossier as evidence to ask the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to issue a surveillance warrant against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, the sources said.

The sources declined to identify the specific story. An Oct. 31, 2016, story by reporter David Corn in Mother Jones, however, is the first known story to make mention of Steele's work.

The Steele dossier, the PI report and the news story “all seem like independent corroborating evidence” but Republicans now believe they were “the fruits of a single politically poisoned tree planted by Clinton partisans,” said a source familiar with concerns that are raised in the House Republican Intelligence panel memo.

“Rather than quality double-sourced intelligence, it is our conclusion it was nothing more than thinly veiled, single-sourced political opposition research masquerading as intel," the source said.

‘Bet against the president’: Senior White House official’s lawyer predicts Trump indictment in next 2-3 months

https://www.rawstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/muellertrump.jpg

According to two lawyers who have clients who have been swept up in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Donald Trump administration,

they believe that the president may be indicted for obstruction of justice within the next few months.

In an interview with Politico (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/02/trump-russia-indictment-mueller-probe-384969), the lawyers — who asked to remain anonymous to protect their clients — said that

they don’t exactly what Mueller’s plans are, but

the line of questioning indicates that he is going hard at Trump for blocking the inquiry.

Rachel Maddow Shows No Mercy In Shredding The Flimsy Argument Behind The Scam GOP Memo


That’s what this dumb memo is all about.

This memo you’ve been hearing so much about,

the memo that is apparently going to be released tomorrow over the vehement objections of the Justice Department and the FBI

because it contains information about how FISA court works and

how FISA court warrants are adjudicated and

what kind of surveillance the government does on targets that it believes are foreign agents.

That memo that has been the attention of so much media attention and so much excitement on the right over the past few weeks –

what’s that memo about?

That memo is a House Republican effort to

try to make you believe that either the third or fourth renewal of that surveillance warrant against Carter Page is a terrible scandal.

How could anybody approve that?

There are multiple reports that

President Trump fervently believes this memo is what he needs to end the Mueller investigation.

Because this memo will make America believe that only terrible, what,

Clinton stooges would support the third or fourth renewal of a surveillance warrant on the guy who’s been on the FBI counter-intelligence radar since at least 2013

when he played a starring role as the enthusiastic idiot in a convicted Russian spy ring in New York,

who then later turned up multiple times in Moscow denouncing the United States,

praising Vladimir Putin and

trying to get Russian business deals for himself,

with Russian state-run companies,

while meeting with Russian government officials.

In a demonstration of unbridled self-interest and bottomless bad faith, the Trump White House and its Republican minions in Congress are on the cusp of releasing a “memo” (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/01/us/politics/republicans-secret-memo-nunes.html) that purports to document the biggest political scandal since Watergate.

To pull it off,

they are undermining the credibility of the law enforcement community that Republicans once defended so ardently,

on the noble-sounding claim that the American public must know the truth.

Don’t fall for it.

Reports suggest that the three-and-a-half-page document — produced by the staff of Representative Devin

Nunes (R-White House), who somehow still leads the House Intelligence Committee despite his own record of shilling for President Trump,

and who is supposed to be recused from these matters —

has nothing to do with truth or accountability.

Rather, it appears to be

misleading propaganda from people who are terrified by the Russia investigation and determined to derail it by any means necessary.

Mr. Nunes’s cut-and-paste job ostensibly shows that anti-Trump F.B.I. investigators conspired to trick a federal intelligence court into granting them a warrant to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser,

Carter Page, because of his Russian connections — in that way corrupting the entire Russia investigation from the start.

How did the investigators manage this feat?

By relying on a dossier prepared by a former British intelligence agent, Christopher Steele, but hiding from the court that Mr. Steele’s work was being funded by (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/us/politics/republican-nunes-memo-questions-and-answers.html)Democrats, including Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and thus was hopelessly biased.

There’s so much deception and obfuscation going on here that it’s hard to know where to start.

First,

Mr. Nunes and his fellow Republicans have treated the dossier like the holy grail for the Russia investigation,

but it didn’t reach the F.B.I. until the inquiry was already underway (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/30/us/politics/how-fbi-russia-investigation-began-george-papadopoulos.html) — prompted in mid-2016 by suspicious contacts between Russians and George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. Mr. Papadopoulos has pleaded guilty to lying about those contacts and is now cooperating with the special counsel’s investigation.

Second,

the F.B.I. didn’t zero in on Mr. Page for the hell of it. He has been in the government’s sights since 2013, when investigators learned he was being targeted for recruitment by a Russian agent (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/19/us/politics/carter-page-russia-trump.html). To obtain a warrant to spy on someone like Mr. Page, an American citizen, investigators must show probable cause that he is working as a foreign intelligence agent.

This would require reams of documentary and other evidence gathered over the years, of which the dossier would have been only one part. In addition, the 90-day warrant for Mr. Page has already been extended at least once, which means investigators had to show the intelligence court new information, beyond the dossier, justifying the basis of the original warrant.

Third,

even if Mr. Nunes shows that investigators did not tell the court who financed the dossier — which originated as a Republican-backed effort (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/27/us/politics/trump-dossier-paul-singer.html) during the primaries — that is hardly a scandal.

It’s not clear that the court, in Mr. Page’s case, relied on the dossier at all,

but even if it did, courts rarely deny warrants (https://lawfareblog.com/dubious-legal-claim-behind-releasethememo) on the grounds that an informant had some bias.

They always assume some bias exists, as it frequently does, and then weigh the information in light of that assumption.

Finally,

the idea that investigators were out to fool a federal judge shows a profound ignorance of how the intelligence courts actually work, and of the degree of vetting that precedes every warrant application.

As one former F.B.I. agent explained (https://www.justsecurity.org/51630/five-questions-nunes-memo-answer/), a conspiracy to obtain a warrant based on bad information would have required the involvement of at least a dozen agents and prosecutors, a corrupt or incompetent federal judge and the director of the F.B.I. — all working in concert to undermine Donald Trump.

You could call it all a wild-eyed conspiracy theory, only there’s no real theory behind it.

Instead, there’s

a mad scramble to set off this latest smoke bomb, despite pleas to not do so from, among other people, Mr. Trump’s handpicked F.B.I. director, Christopher Wray.

After Mr. Wray and Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, failed to persuade the president’s chief of staff, John Kelly, to withhold the memo, the bureau released a highly unusual statement (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/31/us/politics/fbi-director-republicans-secret-memo.html) expressing “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”

That Mr. Nunes and the other Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are happy to disregard this appeal shows how far down the rabbit hole they’ve gone.

Mr. Nunes hasn’t even seen the classified documents underlying his memo, and

has refused to show his work even to Republican senators.

Is this the behavior of someone concerned with honesty, transparency and good government?

None of this is to say the F.B.I. and the rest of the federal law enforcement apparatus should be immune from criticism or reform.

They should be subject to regular oversight and searching scrutiny. But that isn’t why Mr. Nunes is pushing his dishonest memo.

As Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday (https://twitter.com/RonWyden/status/958780475627266049): “It’s not that the government is always right or always wrong about secrecy. It’s that Americans would be right to see this release as proof that selective classification is used more often to deceive them than to protect them.”

It would be nice to treat Mr. Trump, Mr. Nunes and their cohort as the junior high school pranksters they resemble, but what they’re doing —

cynically undermining the nation’s trust in law enforcement, fostering an environment of permanent suspicion and subterfuge — is far more dangerous.

The question is whether there are any adults left in the G.O.P.

The evidence so far is not encouraging, notwithstanding a sporadic furrowed brow in the Senate (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/01/us/politics/republicans-secret-memo-nunes.html).

At some level,

one hopes, a sense of shame and responsibility to the republic will finally kick in. But that, too, is unlikely.

Republicans from the top on down have made it clear, expressly or otherwise, that

this is all about winning the political fight directly in front of them, the consequences — and the rest of America — be damned.

Did Trump just reveal the real reason this memo was written?

Republican leaders in Congress have one main defense for releasing a controversial memo on the FBI's Russia investigation:

It reveals

mistakes and even bias at the FBI,

NOT

with the separate, independent special counsel investigation set up by the Justice Department.

The memo, said House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday, isn't “an indictment of the FBI, of the Department of Justice.”

Apparently President

Trump didn't get that memo. :lol

In one tweet Friday morning,

Trump publicly undermined Ryan's argument that the memo does ≠ an attack on the FBI, Justice Department or the special counsel investigating Trump.

This memo will actually prove political bias in all of those places, Trump suggested:

Trump appears to be setting the narrative for what will happen later in the day,

when House Republicans release the classified memo against objections

from the FBI,

the Justice Department and

Democrats.

Basically,

everyone in Washington except the president and congressional Republicans don't want the memo released

because they say

it's politically biased, inaccurate, will expose sourcing methods, or all three.

Former Hippies Put in Horrible Position of Rooting for F.B.I.

https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5a7485d7dc5fb8406999f919/master/w_1023,c_limit/Borowitz-Former-Hippies-Put-in-Horrible-Position-of-Rooting-for-FBI.jpg


WASHINGTON —Former hippies across the United States have been put in the unbearable position of rooting for the F.B.I., hippies have confirmed.

From Vermont to California, erstwhile hippies bemoaned a nightmare scenario that has

forced them to side with a law-enforcement agency they have despised since the Summer of Love.

“I always dreamed I’d spend my retirement surrounded by my grandchildren, telling them that

the F.B.I. were fascist pigs,”

Carol Foyler, a former hippie who lives in Santa Cruz, said. “That dream has been shot to hell.”

Her husband, Mick, nodded his head in sad agreement.

“We were so happy when pot was legalized in California,” he said.

“But the fact that we’re now on the same side as the F.B.I. has ruined even that.”

Now in their seventies, the Foylers are spending their days doing things they never dreamed possible when they traipsed through the mud at Woodstock:

going door to door in Santa Cruz, asking other former freaks to sign a pro-F.B.I. petition.

“Donald Trump has wrecked America’s standing around the world, spread misogyny and bigotry, ravaged the environment, and endorsed a child molester,”

Carol said.

“But making people like us support the F.B.I. is the most unforgivable thing he’s done.”

What do you think the Nunestard memo will accomplish?


The memo is designed to be something the public can understand and it will slowly prepare the still blind majority of the public to the rampant intelligence abuse under the Obama admin that is about to come out from the OIG investigation.

I kind of figured this memo was a lot of nothing when it was released on a Friday afternoon. If you want something to blow up the media cycle and to have everyone's attention all week you don't release it on Friday right before the weekend. That's the day for the worthless news dump that people don't give a shit about. I suspect Trump and his crew knew this memo was D.O.A.

The public now knows the FBI purposely hid information from the FISC when applying for the FISA warrant. The public is now prepped for the OIG investigation findings.


a) Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele’s efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior and FBI officials.

b) The initial FISA application notes Steele was working for a named U.S. person, but does not name Fusion GPS and principal Glenn Simpson, who was paid by a U.S. Law firm (Perkins Coie) representing the DNC (even though it was known by DOJ at the time that political actors were involved with the Steele dossier). The application does not mention Steele was ultimately working on behalf of -- and paid by -- the DNC and Clinton campaign, or that the FBI had separately authorized payment to Steele for the same information.
