Carter Page Takes to Twitter to Weigh in on FISA Warrants in the Most Bizarre Way Possible

Carter Page, Ph.D. @carterwpage

Nice, @AshaRangappa_

Now your police state logic basically argues that Brown v. Board of Ed (1954) is officially dead:

"deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the 14th Amendment"

Care to stick a fork in the whole US Cons ution too?https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/1036608085048090624 …

✔@AshaRangappa_

Replying to @Gutdaddy @carterwpage

Because (for the millionth time)

FISAs are about gathering intelligence,

not evidence of crime.

FISAs rarely result in criminal charges, bruh.

Giuliani: Team Trump Will Likely Try To Block Mueller Report’s Release


Giuliani claims that President Donald

Trump’s original legal team—which has undergone many mutations since—cut a deal with Mueller

that that the White House can object to public dissemination of information from the probe on the grounds of executive privilege.

When asked if the White House is likely to invoke this clause,

Giuliani was frank: “I’m sure we will.”

That's the opposite of cutting a deal.

Ex-FBI agent on CNN: Mueller has a new line of inquiry that could result in even more indictments for Trump’s associates



Former FBI special agent and CNN analyst Asha Rangappa on Monday said that special counsel Robert Mueller appeared to have opened a “new line” of inquiry in his investigation of Russian meddling and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

Sam Patten, a lobbyist and associate of Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort,

pleaded guilty last week to running an

illegal foreign lobbying campaign and funneling a Ukrainian oligarch’s money to Trump’s inauguration committee.

The charges were referred to the U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia by Mueller.

“When we talk about

active measures by Russia in the campaign, we’re talking about a number of different fronts on which Russia was operating,”

she explained.

“One is disinformation campaign

and we know that Mueller has already indicted several individuals and the Internet Research Agency [for] its Facebook and social media activities.”

“Then we have the hacking and intrusion into emails and voting machines.

We already have an indictment on that against 12 GRU Russian intelligence officers.”

“I think there’s going to be another series of indictments concerning illegal campaign contributions, and this Patten plea being the first of them but

where Russia may have been using straw donors, illegal donors,

to funnel money into places that they would otherwise not be able to directly,” Rangappa said.

Trump attacks Jeff Sessions for not forcing the Justice Department to ignore Republican crimes

“Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen

were brought to a well publicized charge,

just ahead of the Mid-Terms,

by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department.

Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time.

Good job Jeff…” Trump tweeted.

The president was apparently referring to Congressmen Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Chris Collins (R-NY).

Hunter was charged with illegally using campaign funds to pay personal expenses while Collins was charged with taking part in an insider trading scheme.

“….The Democrats, none of whom voted for Jeff Sessions, must love him now.

Same thing with Lyin’ James Comey.

The Dems all hated him, wanted him out, thought he was disgusting – UNTIL I FIRED HIM!

Immediately he became a wonderful man, a saint like figure in fact. Really sick!” Trump added in another tweet.

Judge Pirro Blasts AG Sessions: 'Resign Immediately' or 'Be a Real Attorney General'

'You don't even know you're nothing but a shill.'

Judge Jeanine Pirro directly addressed Jeff Sessions,

blasting him for the job he's done as attorney general.

She asked if Sessions had any self-respect and

why he'd remain in a position where he knows he isn't wanted.

Criminal president defending other criminals in government!

[Winehole23]

And you’d be fine with it as long as it’s your side, you’re nothing but a simple trumper party over country lie.

I think DJT is an obvious crook and a historically bad president. I hope he gets soundly beaten in 2020 and his party horsewhipped into the minority. The GOP deserves it for nominating him.

A bunch of DJT's political flunkies will end up in prison -- good riddance to smelly garbage..

If ongoing investigations implicate HRC or executive branch employees in crimes, those should be prosecuted too if DOJ thinks it has winnable cases. Let the chips fall where they may.

So yeah, you have no idea what side I'm on.

It sure ain't yours.

[Chris]

[Winehole23]

I know you’re not on my side. My side is America.

How grandiose.

And you thinking the DOJ hasn’t already exhaustively investigates the clintons queued by a bull tweet from a known corrupted liar is even more ridiculous.

As far either of us know, investigations into HRC's emails and foundation shenanigans are ongoing. It's not for either one of us to declare the status/non-status of these, but the FBI. If you asked me to pull a judgment from thin air, I'd say criminal referrals aren't likely.

Which unicorn state do you identify with?

The USA.

I’ll bet you call you call yourself a libertarian, don’t you? Or when you really want your republican talking points to sound deep, a classical liberal.

Neither. It's adorable, you just keep whiffing.

Since when was it Republican talking points to say DJT is a crook and historically bad, and that and I hope the GOP gets horsewhipped in 2020?

[Winehole23]

it matters very little to me what label you wish to apply.

not everyone fits into the R/D pigeonholes, nor is everyone politically doctrinal.

[Winehole23]

but go ahead, kick everyone who merely disagrees with you into the same rhetorical ditch.

[Reck]

Chris going back to that dried up well.

[Winehole23]

if the anonymous sauce has first hand knowledge or evidence, it should be no problem to get an investigation rolling, but it's dubious that's the point.

the point is to smear Mueller.

They will try, and it will be hilarious and a total failure. Trump party will look like they are trying to cover up, and Democrats will use that to beat them over the head for years.

... and that will be where collusion will be proven, and the real criminal activity happens. If any Trump campaign staff knew about it, that will be the smoking gun.

from woodward's book

Kelly said of Trump: “He’s an idiot. It’s pointless to try to convince him of anything. He’s gone off the rails. We’re in Crazytown. I don’t even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I’ve ever had.”

Priebus dubbed the presidential bedroom, where Trump obsessively watched cable news and tweeted, “the devil’s workshop,” and said early mornings and Sunday evenings, when the president often set off tweetstorms, were “the witching hour.”

Priebus was “‘like a little rat. He just scurries around.’”

“Mattis was particularly exasperated and alarmed, telling close associates that the president acted like — and had the understanding of — ‘a fifth- or sixth-grader.’ ”

Trump told Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, a wealthy investor eight years his senior: “I don’t trust you. I don’t want you doing any more negotiations. … You’re past your prime.

Trump told Porter that Sessions was a “traitor” for recusing himself from overseeing the Russia investigation,

Trump added, “This guy is mentally re ed. He’s this dumb Southerner. … He couldn’t even be a one-person country lawyer down in Alabama.”

Trump lashed out at a vocal critic, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). He falsely suggested that the former Navy pilot had been a coward for taking early release from a prisoner-of-war camp in Vietnam because of his father’s military rank and leaving others behind.

an alliance among Trump’s traditionalists — including Mattis and Gary Cohn, the president’s former top economic adviser — to stymie what they considered dangerous acts.

“It felt like we were walking along the edge of the cliff perpetually,” Porter is quoted as saying. “Other times, we would fall over the edge, and an action would be taken.”

After Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad launched a chemical attack on civilians in April 2017, Trump called Mattis and said he wanted to assassinate the dictator. “Let’s ing kill him! Let’s go in. Let’s kill the ing lot of them,” Trump said

Cohn “stole a letter off Trump’s desk” that the president was intending to sign to formally withdraw the United States from a trade agreement with South Korea. Cohn later told an associate that he removed the letter to protect national security and that Trump did not notice that it was missing.
