Spygate: Inside Story

Comment:

This is a long read.

Interesting to note that Comey testified a week before he was fired that there was no pressure to end the collusion investigation.  There was no obstruction at that point, according to Comey.  McCabe took over the FBI, and also reported the same thing in testimony the following week.  Yet, it was said that McCabe opened an obstruction investigation after Comey was fired.  Doesn't add up.

Strzok didn't think there was any big thing there with respect to collusion.  This was about that time.  Strzok was on the Mueller team for awhile before being booted off of it.

Baker was racing the Admiral Rogers report on FISA 702 about queries noncompliance.  This was so that there would be no trouble getting the FISA warrant on Carter Page.  If he had mentioned an investigation of these issues, it may have made a difference to the court in granting the FISA warrant.

An impeachment trial in the Senate would face a lot of very strong headwinds for conviction.  Indeed, it would look really bad for impeachment advocates.

Something familiar about all this...

Updated,

6.19.19:

Stone's defense is relying upon the predicate for the Russian collusion case, which would be the so-called hacked emails.

The government's position is "evidence" "what evidence"?  We don't need to show you any evidence!

Reminds of the way a gangster thinks.



6.16.19:

If Stone is successful with his defense, it will be devastating to the left.  That's because it will show them up for what they are---traitors.  However, he's going up against what will likely be a kangaroo court in a hopelessly corrupt jurisdiction.


6.15.19:

3:38 pm:

This has a Star Chamber quality about it.  We have a Separation of Powers doctrine that limits what each branch of government can do.  With respect to Stone, why was he even appearing before Congress?  Stone is a private citizen.  If he broke any laws, isn't that the duty of police and prosecutors to investigate?

The irony of all this is that eventually, Stone may be convicted of doing nothing but lie to Congress about doing what he has a right to do.  Of course, why would Stone lie about something that he has a right to do?  It doesn't matter much to me, the point is why is he even there to begin with?


12:35 pm:

Holy moly!  I just realized that Julian Assange could be called as a witness in this case.  It alleges in US v. Stone that Assange and Stone had contacts.  This case could very well involve the claim of hacked emails, so the source of the emails ( hack or leak ) is quite pertinent to the defense!


12:15 pm:

Useful tweet to show the background of what is happening.  Roger Stone's defense against an indictment, I suspect.


9:30 am:

Yes, the actual evidence shows that it was a leak, not a hack.  But the media ignores it, of course.


7:30 am:

Even worse than I thought.  It really is deja vu all over again.



9.14.18:

It's like deja vu all over again.


Dianne Feinstein Sends Letter To FBI Accusing Brett Kavanaugh Of Nothing [VIDEO]


It's just like what they have been doing to Trump.  After two years of this Russian collusion business, they have no crime.

Manafort doesn't count because that was BEFORE Trump was even a candidate.

Pappa-dopp may have been set up over "stolen" emails that weren't even stolen.  The Crowdstrike finding was hearsay, but the FBI treated it as evidence.

Flynn didn't lie.  A confession was coerced.

Are we awake yet??

Indict McCabe

Comment:

Pretty lame reasoning from McCabe.  He say contracting a company that uses foreign sources is okay, but what Trump said to Stephanopolous is not okay.

By the same reasoning, he could justify hiring a hitman to take out the Donald.   Since he didn't pull the trigger, he's not liable for criminal prosecution.  Yeah, let's see how that flies.  Maybe in DC, but not anywhere that's still sane.

Truth is relative to person and place according to post modernism

Comment:

Water is wet.  Journalists are overwhelmingly Democrat.  What's true is true.

Media is partisan Democrat.  Yet, you'll see the claim that they aren't.  Only if you live in Alice's Wonderland.

6.19.17:

11:37 am:

If you look carefully at this poll, which a typical one lately on Rasmussen, you can see a problem.  The problem is that 25%, or thereabouts, are open to persuasion on Trump either way.

Trump has to win 2/3 rds of these in order to get a majority.  He doesn't get there very often.

Somehow, he has to get more ardent supporters, and fewer ardent opponents.  Or, he has to win 2/3 of the rest.  Tall order.
8:17 am:

The election is 18 months off now, and this president has a track record.  So far, he has avoided major pitfalls.  But his press coverage is horrendous.  By most standards, I'd say he's had a successful first term, and should have no trouble being reelected.   That judgement would be based upon performance alone.

Yet his poll numbers do not reflect that.  Just saying that there's something wrong here.  He should be doing better, and complaining about the media is not the entire story.  Reagan didn't have a friendly media either, but he won 49 states in his reelection bid.  Trump might be lucky to win at all.

He needs to rethink his press relations.  It may make a difference.

7:55 am:

The article discusses the fallout from the Stephanopolous interview recently.

It doesn't help to have to keep defending the POTUS.  Even if the POTUS didn't do anything wrong.

Or did he?

The big mistake for Trump was to treat someone as trustworthy, yet who is definitely not.  Stephanopolous is definitely partisan Democrat, and only wanted to gin up some controversy.  Why grant him an audience?  If that is unavoidable, then why hand him anything that he could use?

This president makes a bit of trouble for himself that is entirely unnecessary.  Nothing he said was wrong, but he has to remember his own words about the news media--- they are the enemy.

What might Flynn's new attorney do?

Comment:

Moderately long piece that goes over the possibilities.  The most likely scenario could harm the anti-Trump faction while improving Flynn's prospects.  Depends upon the judge, of course.

Veselnitskaya Trump Jr. meeting a nothingburger

Comment:

3:00 pm:

Before studying it a bit, Fusion GPS does not come off looking good, and that does not count what they did with respect to Trump.  Do liberals really want to associate with these guys?

12:00 noon:

Maybe a setup too, as Veselnitskaya said to be working with Fusion GPS.


some of the thread:





Amazing with all these connections!  State Department, FBI, Steele, et. al.
