I don’t even know what “win” you are trying give and take away.
Please explain, I’m sure this will end up lose/lose for you.
You just quoted me discussing the sundance article touching on the OIG.
In 2015, who blocked the OIG from having oversight of the DOJ National Security Division? Who headed the NSD at that time? When did the head of the NSD step down?

And now I just quoted you refusing to discuss sundance.
You're flailing.
This is what I mean when I say you will never cut to the chase and make any predictions anymore.
That was my prediction.
You fulfilled it.
Thanks for flailing.
Investigation winding down. Nothing to see here.

Robert Mueller’s Investigation Of The Russia Scandal Expected To Go Well Into 2018
there is little evidence that the Special Counsel wants to talk to Trump anytime soon.
I’ve talked to a lot of legal experts who say you cannot get to the bottom of collusion until you have the testimony of Paul Manafort.
You may not have that testimony unless you convict Paul Manafort and that could be months from now.
It’s possible this thing goes well into 2018, and I wouldn’t put too much stock in the idea that Mueller will want to talk to Donald Trump sometime in the next month or two.”
Mueller is not going to be rushed.

Mueller is still adding to his team, brings in cyber crime expert who busted the original 'Guccifer'
Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has added a veteran cyber prosecutor to his team,
filling what has long been a curious gap in expertise and potentially signaling a recent focus on computer crimes.
Ryan K. ey was assigned to Mueller’s team in early November from the Justice Department’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, a special counsel’s office spokesman said.
He joined a group of 16 other lawyers who are highly respected by their peers
but who have come under fire from Republicans wary of some of their political contributions to Democrats.

Fusion GPS Founders Rat Out John McCain; Admit They Helped Get Bogus Trump Dossier Into McCain’s Hands
The two founders of Fusion GPS wrote an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times’ Wednesday edition, largely blaming the Republican party for the embattled research firm’s swelling problems.
And they blamed President Donald Trump too.
But amid all their finger pointing and GOP-laced anger, the duo of Glenn R. Simpson and Peter Fritsch actually ratted out Sen. John McCain as the probable source who leaked the bogus Trump dossier.
In fact, the two Fusion GPS executives admitted they helped get the dossier into McCain’s hands and not Buzzfeed.
This is why investigators and prosecutors love it when suspects in a case offer a written statement or alibi, because so often key admissions are made that help boost the case against the suspects instead of exoneration.
Fusion GPS is no exception.
The Fusion GPS founders say they are proud of the research conducted by former MI6 spy Christopher Steele, even though virtually all of it is unfounded, unproven and fabricated. Simpson and Fritsch write:
Instead, we deferred to Mr. Steele, a trusted friend and intelligence professional with a long history of working with law enforcement. We did not speak to the F.B.I. and haven’t since.
After the election, Mr. Steele decided to share his intelligence with Senator John McCain via an emissary. We helped him do that. The goal was to alert the United States national security community to an attack on our country by a hostile foreign power. We did not, however, share the dossier with BuzzFeed, which to our dismay published it last January.
It doesn’t get much more damning than that for McCain. In fact, that is called getting thrown under a bus. Was it intentional? Quite likely, as Fusion GPS looks to offload some of the heavy heat it has been receiving from the White House and President Trump directly.
And while shocking on one level, that information actually dovetails with previous reporting by True Pundit.
An Oct. 9, 2017 article in True Pundit — nearly three months ago — detailed McCain’s involvement:
But now court do ents and new source Intel raise su ions that McCain may have chipped in financially with the FBI or privately funded the counterfeit research, either himself or through his shady foundation.
Regardless, the research firm of former spooks — Fusion GPS who commissioned the problematic report — could have been paid for the same report by the multiple en ies:
.The FBI, through a black-budget fund as reported by True Pundit
.John McCain campaign coffers and connections
.McCain’s foundation: Arizona State University’s McCain Ins ute for International Leadership
.Hillary Clinton-backed campaign operatives who paid $1 million for the research
.Ye olde triple dip by Fusion GPS. Smart profit model perhaps especially while peddling a very poor product and when it comes to cutting deals with Comey, the FBI and McCain: a lesson in who not to do business with.
According to a court do ent (attached below) in a British lawsuit against the author of the Fusion GPS report, Christopher Steele, McCain along with a man named David Kramer were the first people to obtain the Trump dossier.
Kramer, a virtual mystery man before the election, previously worked for the State Department under Hillary Clinton. During the 2016 election, Kramer reportedly worked as senior director for Arizona State University’s McCain Ins ute for International Leadership.
McCain and Kramer shopped the damaging dossier to the U.S. media with hopes the press would jump on the opportunity to smear Trump. These included: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Yahoo News, the New Yorker and CNN and others. Only lowly liberal rag sheet Mother Jones took the poisoned bait and sprinted to publish portions of the dossier.
When the mainstream media balked, McCain shopped the dossier to Comey. According to True Pundit’s reporting, the FBI cut what now appears to be a side deal to further underwrite Steele’s unfounded research.
Did McCain augment the FBI’s payment to Steele with his own cash? Did McCain push or vouch for the FBI’s payment to Steele? Or Did McCain, through his campaign coffers or shady foundation, underwrite the research before DNC-backed en ies also paid for it?
Or did all of this take place in an elaborate, much larger plot to discredit and unseat President Trump?
How was McCain the first person to obtain the falsified research if he didn’t in fact have a role in commissioning the dossier? It was provided to no other U.S. senator.

Dossier used to obtain FISA warrants to surveil Trump campaign and Trump transition: breaking news on Hannity (3 sources)
Lotta legal a en itt by DJT et al
When it comes to government, the less transparency, the better, thank you very much
The unverified dossier alleging connections between President Trump’s campaign and the Russians was used as evidence by the FBI to gain approval from a secret court to monitor members of Trump’s team, this reporter has learned.
A large portion of the evidence presented in the salacious 35-page dossier put together by former British spy Christopher Steele, has either been proven wrong or remains unsubstantiated. However, the FBI gained approval nevertheless to surveil members of Trump’s campaign and “it’s outrageous and clearly should be thoroughly investigated,” said a senior law enforcement source, with knowledge of the process.
Multiple sources told this reporter that the dossier was used along with other evidence to obtain the warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as FISC. The sources also stressed that there will be more information in the coming week regarding systemic “FISA abuse.”
“(The dossier) certainly played a role in obtaining the warrant,” added another senior U.S. official, with knowledge of the dossier. “Congress needs to look at the FBI officials who were handling this case and see what, if anything, was verified in the dossier. I think an important question is whether the FBI payed anything to the source for the dossier.”
On Wednesday, Sean Hannity said he has also independently confirmed that the dossier was used to obtain the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant from three separate sources.
One very senior source said the dossier played “a significant role” in obtaining the warrant Hannity said on his radio show Wednesday.
FBI officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
On Friday, members of the House Intelligence Committee went to the Justice Department to review the FBI and DOJ do ents requested last August by Chairman Devin Nunes, congressional sources said. The information is essential to the committee’s investigation of Steele, the dossier and Fusion GPS.
In October, the Washington Post revealed that Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign paid the now embattled research firm Fusion GPS to fund the research into the dossier. Marc E. Elias, who was a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC allegedly retained Fusion GPS, but the campaign failed to disclose those payments on its finance records.
In April, CNN reported that the dossier was used to monitor communications of Carter Page, who volunteered as a national security advisor with the Trump campaign for a short period of time. But in December, a New York Times story seemed to suggest that the inquiry into the Trump campaign and its alleged ties to Russia began with George Papadopoulos, who worked as a foreign policy advisor to Trump campaign.
Sources told the New York Times that it was Papadopoulos’ conversation with a Australian diplomat at London bar in May 2016 that caught the attention of the FBI.
“Now that the dirt has spilled on the dossier, it looks like some officials are trying to deflect by saying the inquiry began with Papadopoulos,” said the senior law enforcement official.
