    would mccabe's altering of the 302's not have been part of Horowitz' report on mccabe?

    No it would not have been a part on the first report released on McCabe. If you’d read the statement from Horowitz you’d have known the report/criminal referral on McCabe wasn’t even because of what Horowitz was initially tasked to investigate.

    Do you think we won’t be hearing about McCabe again in the upcoming OIG report?

    well the pending report that is expected at some point this month is about the FBI/DOJ's pre-election actions... with respect to things like the handling of the clinton matter.

    dont see what that would have to do with Flynn's statements to the FBI after the election and his subsequent indictment/plea

    so sure, i think mccabe will be mentioend again. the new report will include info on the clinton matter, and mccabe's leak to the WSJ was related to that. i dont see where the 302/flynn/sara carter stuff comes into play

    as the first report was a more general look into mccabe's misconduct, i thought it would have been appropriate to be included there

    Donald Trump gave a huge gift to Vladimir Putin, and may have saved the Russian government

    A report on Russian state media shows that Donald Trump has already delivered not just a gift to Vladimir Putin, but possibly the gift that Putin has wanted all along.

    Russia to get such a huge amount when the government has long been strapped for cash?

    Female host says:

    "Looks like we found it.

    Trump is withdrawing US from the Iran nuclear deal. Oil prices should go up, which is good for us."

    Crude oil futures have leapt from $26 at the time of Trump’s election to $77 today.

    Russian oil production hovers around 10 million barrels a day. That means

    the increase that has already happened in oil prices is providing Putin with an extra $520 million a day.

    If the prices were to continue at the level generated by Trump’s actions for a year, Putin could meet all his promises to Russia—and have $60 billion to spare—just out of the net increase.

    Everything else that Trump has or hasn’t done about Russia, any sanctions, any tariffs, any expelled diplomats,

    absolutely pales in comparison to the huge boost he provided to the Russian economy by backing away from the Iran nuclear deal.

    difficult to think of anything Trump might have done to generate a more certain boost for Russia.

    Which raises the question: Was this the deal all along?

    Trove of Russian-Backed Facebook Ads Show 2016 Strategy at Work

    Russia’s main goal was provoking discontent in the U.S., leading to and continuing beyond Donald Trump’s election in 2016.

    The ads, which are one of the clearest demonstrations of Russia’s financial investment in disrupting American politics, have been much discussed by Congress, Facebook and Special Counsel Robert Mueller behind closed doors.


    For some lawmakers, they raised questions about whether Russia was successful in swaying public opinion, in Trump’s favor or otherwise.

    The 3,519 ads, released Thursday by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, were posted between 2015 and 2017.

    They were designed to draw clicks from people who had liked Facebook groups on both sides of emotional issues involving gun regulations, Muslims, gay rights, immigration, African-Americans -- and various candidates.

    CNN's Jake Tapper Explains Why Pence's Call to End the Mueller Probe Isn't Just Ridiculous—It's Appalling

    Supporters of the president keep saying they want the investigation to end — but Mueller has a mission for a reason.

    addressing Vice President Mike Pence's recent claim that special counsel Robert Mueller should wrap up his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election soon.

    In just under a minute, Tapper made it clear why this call — echoed by President Donald Trump and many of his supporters — is both absurd and a betrayal of the rule of law.

    "Now, Vice President Pence seems to possibly have taken on a different view,

    for the first time asserting that the investigation has gone on too long and it needs to end," Tapper said.

    "With nary a mention of the point of the investigation:

    To see if any Americans aided the Russian government in its attempt to interfere int he 2016 election. "

    "Nor any mention, by Vice President Pence, of the

    five guilty pleas,

    one person sentenced,

    23 defendants and

    75 criminal charges

    in all Robert Mueller's investigation has yielded so far."

    https://www.alternet.org/news-amp-po...ust-ridiculous


    Pence seems even below the standard stupidity of the garden-variety evangelical Bible-humper
