William Barr's Connection To Ruby Ridge, Defending FBI Snipers

he Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Attorney General nominee William Barr have focused heavily on Barr's views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But nobody is asking about Barr's legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens.

Barr received a routine questionnaire from the Judiciary Committee asking him to disclose his past work including pro bono activities "serving the disadvantaged." The "disadvantaged" that Barr spent the most time helping was an FBI agent who slayed an Idaho mother holding her baby in 1992. Barr spent two weeks organizing former Attorneys General and others to support "an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident." Barr also "assisted in framing legal arguments advanced... in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit," he told the committee.

I'm confused. (From 2019)

Federal Judges to Hold Emergency Meeting Over Barr and Trump

Just weeks after President Donald Trump was acquitted by the Senate of bogus partisan impeachment charges by the House of Representatives, a group of federal judges will hold an 'emergency meeting' on Tuesday. The judges will meet to discuss the intervention by Attorney General William Barr against the abusive proposed sentence for Roger Stone and the criticism by President Trump of the proposed sentence and the federal judge overseeing the case, Judge Amy Berman Jackson, as well as other actions by Barr and Trump regarding 'politically sensitive' cases before the judiciary.

The meeting comes on the heels of a letter signed by over 1,000 former Justice Department Deep State operatives calling on Barr to resign for overruling the punitive sentence of 7-9 years in prison proposed by federal prosecutors for Stone. The four prosecutors in the case resigned in protest over Barr's intervention.

Judge Jackson will preside over a phone hearing in the Stone case on Tuesday. Stone has asked for a new trial after it was reported last week the foreman of the jury that convicted him is a virulent anti-Trump Democrat who posted about Stone's case.

Q Research General #10462: I'd Watch The News That Day Edition

2nd part of AM greatness article
Several NeverTrumpers also are involved with Protect Democracy; National Review columnists Mona Charen and Linda Chavez, ABC News pundit Matthew Dowd, and failed presidential candidate Evan McMullin serve as advisors. As I've reported before, Omidyar is the sugar daddy for many NeverTrump outlets. The Bulwark, the offshoot of the shuttered Weekly Standard, is partially funded by Omidyar: Charlie Sykes, the Bulwark's editor-in-chief, serves on the board of Democracy Fund.

Left-Wing Group Organized Barr Attack Letter

The letter is just another destroy-Trump mission funded by leftists to deceive and inflame the public.

The headline sounded ominous: "Former Justice Dept. Lawyers Press for Barr to Step Down," blared an article in Sunday's New York Times. More than 1,100 former federal prosecutors signed a letter to condemn Attorney General William Barr and encourage Justice Department employees to tattle on the nation's top lawman if they see anything naughty.

The lawyers were outraged at Barr's decision to override "line prosecutors," including two holdovers from the Robert Mueller investigation, who had recommended an excessive sentence against Roger Stone. "Barr's actions in doing the President's personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words," they wrote. "Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice's reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign."

Times reporter Katie Benner, trying to make the stunt look like a legitimate grassroots effort, attributed the letter to Protect Democracy, which she described as a "nonprofit legal group." But Protect Democracy is not an organic activist group spontaneously created by high-minded legal experts alarmed by Trump's alleged flouting of the rule of law. Protect Democracy was launched in early 2017 as part of an extensive anti-Trump operation managed by a leftwing tech billionaire: Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. This is who is behind Protect Democracy and a number of other nonprofits formed to destroy the president.

In 2018, according to the group's most recent tax filing, Protect Democracy collected nearly $7 million in donations; Omidyar's most politically-active nonprofit, Democracy Fund, has donated $2 million since 2017. Democracy Fund is spending tens of millions each year to underwrite dozens of anti-Trump projects. "Over the past two years, I have seen alarming and sometimes unprecedented violations of our country's democratic norms," Joe Goldman, the fund's president, wrote in 2018.

Protect Democracy houses a number of former Democratic staffers-including a former aide to U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)-and Obama White House alumni. Ricki Seidman, last seen advising Christine Blasey Ford, is a director for Protect Democracy.

Omidyar also funds Republicans for the Rule of Law, headed by Bill Kristol; Lawfare, a central peddler of Russian collusion hoax propaganda; R Street, home to disgraced FBI lawyer James Baker; and Stand-Up Republic, headed by McMullin. All have been on the attack against Trump and Barr.

The letter dominated social media on Sunday; #FormerJusticeDept trended most of the day. Other news outlets picked up Benner's misleading account of the stunt.

Do you think nothing is happening? You might want to think again. A week in review. Do you remember when Q wrote on Sunday February 9th of this week…

"Justice.
Q"

So what has happened since Q said this?

1) This week:

-Chinese Telecommunications Conglomerate Huawei and Subsidiaries Charged in Racketeering Conspiracy and Conspiracy to Steal Trade Secrets

-Jussie Smollett indicted with 6 charges for his Hoax of hate crimes.
2) - Justice Department launches legal assault to roll back sanctuary cities

-AG Barr announced that Giuliani had turned over to them investigative information about Ukraine corruption with former Administration.
3) - -Trump goes on a twitter spree highlighting that nothing ever happened to the crimes Tony Podesta did.

-Trump torches corrupt Judge Berman Jackson about injustices about Manafort but game HRC a pass.

-Michael Avenatti found guilty of all charges today.
4) -Roger Stone Sentencing evaluated by AG Barr as being outrageous (9 years? For lying to congress? Rape Is only 3~5 years) and the 4 corrupt Mueller investigators all resigned.

5) - "I'm here to announce the indictment of Chinese military hackers... for breaking into the computer systems of the credit-reporting agency Equifax, and for stealing the sensitive personal information of nearly half of all American citizens."-AG Barr
6) -Trump WH fires Alexander Vindman

-Trump WH fires Gordon Sondland

-Trump NSC (national security council) removes 70 former Obama hold overs, with maybe even more coming.
7) -Graham sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Friday asking that he make 17 officials, many of whom are identified only by title, available for interviews.
8) -Durham Scrutinizing John Brennan's Handling of Russian Interference in 2016
9) - A.G. Barr Installs Outside Prosecutor to Review Case Against @GenFlynn.
Amid turmoil in Roger Stone case & Refussal to Charge Andrew McCabe at the @USAO_DC, the A.G. has sent outside prosecutors to review politically sensitive cases.
10) This is only Friday afternoon too. As I said earlier for those crying about McCabe getting off for lying, you really don't understand the big picture.

If you start really paying attention then you won't be the kid on the Left but be the Kid on the Right.

Q Research General #10459: Shall We Play A Game Over? Edition

Attorney General William Barr 'now focused on something much bigger'

Attorney General William Barr has a large operation underway to take down "deep state bureaucrats."

That's what Fox News host Sean Hannity told his audience Friday night, capping a tumultuous week for the Justice Department that involved upheaval in the Roger Stone case, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe escaping criminal charges, news of an outside prosecutor being picked to review the case against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

"We are now beginning to see something very large unfold," Hannity said on his show Friday. "Roger Stone's attorneys have filed a motion for a new trial. That is a major development. That should be granted. And, by the way, it should be the beginning of Stone's ultimate vindication. We have more good news. McCabe's dismissal is frankly - when you really look at it, it's a declination to prosecute on one specific issue. Here is my read between that and the Gen. Flynn news today because we know that Barr just installed an outside counsel to look into the Gen. Flynn case."

"I'm reading the tea leaves here and my sources confirming, the same sources that I've been using for you and getting the story right for three years, that the Attorney General Bill Barr is now focused on something much bigger, much deeper, that will have far ranging ramifications, serious ramifications for that 1% that abused power. That 1% involved in the corruption, those deep state bureaucrats who abused their power, because, as we speak, the Durham-Barr criminal probe is underway," Hannity continued, referring to U.S. Attorney John Durham's inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation.

"I've been told by my sources that, in fact, it has gone deep. It has gone wide. It has gone far. And the evidence they are accumulating is overwhelming and incontrovertible. That's what my sources are telling me tonight," Hannity said.

Hannity did not reveal the identity of his sources, but his words have sway as millions of people tune into his program every weeknight. He is also well-known to have the President Trump's ear and has interviewed the president on a number of occasions,

The host appeared to be referring to the network of prosecutors Barr has set up to review high-profile investigations and allegations involving Russia and Ukraine. This includes Durham; Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri assigned to the Flynn case; and U.S. Attorney Scott Brady from Pittsburgh, who is reviewing records and documents related to Ukraine, including those from Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

After impeachment ended in acquittal earlier this month, Democrats have refocused their attack on Barr, demanding investigations into his conduct. Prosecutors from around the country told the media that the Stone situation has increased their anxiety about working on any cases that might attract interest from Trump for fear that Barr would not back them up, and more than 2,000 former Justice Department officials have called on Barr to resign. Even Trump himself appeared to break with his attorney general when he tweeted about Barr and the Justice Department after Barr complained that such public commentary makes "it impossible for me to do my job."

Still, Hannity dismissed there being a serious rift between Trump and Barr and predicted the attorney general will deliver a "devastating blow to the deep state" of perceived Trump foes accused of trying to undermine the president.

Touting an expanding Durham criminal investigation, which includes scrutiny of former CIA Director John Brennan, and the ramifications of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's scathing report on FISA abuses, Hannity boasted: "A huge day of reckoning to me seem to be on the horizon. I may be wrong. I don't think so."

"To date, my sources have been right the entire time," Hannity said. "So, tonight, I can report this: I am cautiously optimistic that real justice will be done. And it seems like the decks are being cleared."

'CoupGate' - A Localized Civil War Is Now Underway In The DoJ

Now, perhaps, you can see the scope of this big hot mess, and deduce the degree of difficulty that William Barr faces in attempting to set it all straight. He has to carefully select those who will be charged and probably not bother with some of the bit players. The charges are going to have to be serious, and the cases must be strong. It is a gigantic job of work, and rather delicate business considering the explosive potential to a government whose credibility is already pretty shredded. Failure to attend to it may turn a mere bureaucratic civil war into a genuine citizen rebellion featuring some of the 300-million-odd firearms at large in the republic. I believe Mr. Barr is aware of what's at stake and will behave honorably.

Over 2,000 Former DOJ Officials Call for Barr's Resignation Over Handling of Roger Stone Case

More than 2,000 former Justice Department officials have signed an online letter urging Attorney General William Barr to resign following his intervention in the case of former Trump campaign associate Roger Stone.

The online letter was organized by Protect Democracy, a nonprofit advocacy group staffed by former government officials, political operatives, and activists that have been opposing Trump's agenda via legal means. Some of the group's actions include helping to shut down Trump's voter integrity commission, suing to block Trump's border emergency declaration, and a running campaign to have Trump prosecuted for obstruction of justice.

In their letter, the signees claim that Barr and President Donald Trump had interfered with the "fair administration of justice." They say that it was "unheard of for the Department's top leaders to overrule line prosecutors" while alleging that it was done "in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President."

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz revealed in an interview on Sunday that he has proof that former Democrat President Barack Obama ordered the FBI to investigate someone after far-left billionaire George Soros asked for the investigation.

Dershowitz's remarks come after critics have attacked President Donald Trump for tweeting about matters related to the Department of Justice, which led to Attorney General William Barr publicly asking the president to stop last week.

"There was a lot of White House control of the Justice Department during the Kennedy administration and I don't think we saw very many liberal professors arguing against that," Dershowitz told Breitbart News. "I have some information as well about the Obama administration - which will be disclosed in a lawsuit at some point, but I'm not prepared to disclose it now - about how President Obama personally asked the FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of George Soros, who was a close ally of his."

"We've seen this kind of White House influence on the Justice Department virtually in every Justice Department," Dershowitz continued. "The difference this president is much more overt about it, he tweets about it. President Obama whispered to the Justice Department about it."

Transcript:

Alan Dershowitz: There was a lot of White House control of the Justice Department during the Kennedy administration and I don't think we saw very many liberal professors arguing against that. I have some information as well about the Obama administration - which will be disclosed in a lawsuit at some point, but I'm not prepared to disclose it now - about how President Obama personally asked the FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of George Soros, who was a close ally of his. We've seen this kind of White House influence on the Justice Department virtually in every Justice Department. The difference this president is much more overt about it, he tweets about it. President Obama whispered to the Justice Department about it and I don't think these thousand former Justice Department officials would pass the shoe on the other foot test. Maybe some of them would but a good many of them wouldn't and let's be very clear about the constitutionality, the president could make a decision to really control the Justice Department, he could decide who to prosecute, who not to prosecute. He shouldn't do it, it hasn't been done since Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson did do it, we've seen this throughout our history.

Breitbart News: You said that George Soros asked Barack Obama to have his Justice Department investigate somebody?

Dershowitz: That's going to come out in a lawsuit in the near future, yeah. That is not unusual, people whisper to presidents all the time, presidents whisper to Justice Department all the time, it's very common, it's wrong whoever does it, but it's common and we shouldn't think that it's unique to any particular president. I have in my possession the actual 302 form which documents this issue and it will at the right time come out, but I'm not free to disclose it now because it's a case that's not yet been filed.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham Requests Interviews With Crossfire Hurricane Officials

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-SC, is requesting interviews with FBI and DOJ officials linked to the handling of the July 31, 2016 Crossfire Hurricane probe, according to a letter the Chairman sent to Attorney General William Barr Friday.

In the letter, Graham also requests clarity on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant and its renewals used to spy on former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page. Inspector General Michael Horowitz's December, 2019 report found seventeen significant inaccuracies or omissions in those secret federal surveillance applications.

Page told The Sara Carter Show last month that he's "encouraged and appreciative" for Inspector General Michael Horowitz, but warned that the findings were just "the tip of the iceberg."

Graham's letter requests that the following individuals testify: Supervisory Special Agent 1, Case Agent 1, Case Agent 2, Case Agent 3, Staff Operations Specialist, Supervisory Intelligence Analyst, Supervisory Special Agent 2, Supervisory Special Agent 3, OGC Unit Chief, Intel Section Chief, Stephen Laycock, Kieran Ramsey, Jennifer Boone, Bruce Ohr, Dana Boente, Deputy Section Chief, NSD and Gabriel Sanz-Rexach.

Who Are the Former Obama Staffers Who Have Declared War on US Attorney General William Barr?

William Barr, the US attorney general, is facing a strong backlash from numerous former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, who are calling upon his resignation, after the DOJ leadership announced that the amount of prison time for former Trump adviser Roger Stone would be lowered, despite the prosecutors' initial sentencing recommendations.

One of the organisers of an open letter urging US Attorney General William Barr to resign is "Protect Democracy", a nonprofit legal group that has been a longtime critic of the policies of the Donald Trump administration, including accusations that the US president provided false information to justify his anti-foreign terrorist entry executive order, commonly known as Travel Ban.

The group and its affiliated organisations, Protect Democracy Project (PDP) and United to Protect Democracy, are operated by former Barack Obama staffers who have never concealed the "urgent" purpose of their creation back in 2017, which was "to hold the President and the Executive Branch accountable", or simply to "oppose" the policies of Donald Trump, as the Influence Watch website asserts.

Former Deputy AG Under George H.W. Bush: Barr Is 'Un-American,' 'Must Resign' or Be Impeached

by Jerry Lambe | 10:27 am, February 17th, 2020

The former Deputy Attorney General under President George H.W. Bush on Monday penned an op-ed in The Atlantic calling for the resignation of William Barr, saying Barr's "long-held belief in the need for a virtually autocratic executive" clearly illustrates his "unfitness for office." The op-ed was published one day after more than 1,100 former DOJ officials (cable news legal analysts included) signed on to an open letter also calling for Barr's resignation.

Donald Ayer, who served as Deputy AG and Principal Deputy Solicitor General under Bush I, wrote that in the last week Barr has proven that he is more of a personal advocate for President Donald Trump than a representative of justice for the American people.

"The evenhanded conduct of the prosecutions of Roger Stone and Michael Flynn by experienced Department of Justice attorneys have been disrupted at the 11th hour by the attorney general's efforts to soften the consequences for the president's associates," Ayer wrote. "More generally, it appears that Barr has recently identified a group of lawyers who he trusts and put them in place to oversee and second-guess the work of the department's career attorneys on a broader range of cases. And there is no comfort from any of this in Barr's recent protests about the president's tweeting. He in no way suggested he was changing course, only that it is hard appear independent when the president is publicly calling for him to follow the path he is on."

According to Ayer, Barr's devolution into a presidential protector was inevitable in light of his full-throated belief in a unitary executive theory that essentially places the president above the law, claiming Barr's tenure has been geared towards destroying the DOJ safeguards built in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal-a pursuit he says is definitively "un-American" in nature.

"Barr's frontal attack on this system begins with an assault on [post-Watergate AG Edward] Levi's central premise, that ours must be a 'government of laws and not men,' in which no person is above the law," Ayer wrote. "Even more emphatically, though, Barr has brought with him to the department an extraordinary belief in the need for an all-powerful president that is flatly irreconcilable with Levi's vision, which restored the Department of Justice to honor and integrity in the mid-'70s. Perhaps most disturbingly, Barr contends that it is virtually impossible for a corrupt president to be held to account by the Department of Justice, or by any independent counsel that it or Congress might appoint."

Ayer said that Barr should resign or be impeached, a framing that we have seen before.

"Bill Barr's America is not a place that anyone, including Trump voters, should want to go," Ayer concluded. "It is a banana republic where all are subject to the whims of a dictatorial president and his henchmen. To prevent that, we need a public uprising demanding that Bill Barr resign immediately, or failing that, be impeached."

Several sources tell Cockburn that the Special Counsel has indeed completed his report. It is said to recommend indicting three of President Trump's children – Don junior, Ivanka and Eric – as well as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The Attorney General, William Barr, is said to have 'silently assented' to this. It's also claimed that Mueller wants President Trump himself to be indicted. Barr is said to oppose this. The two men met on Friday but apparently could not agree and this was the reason for the delay in any announcement from the [Department of Justice]. At least this is what the sources say."

ICE: Sanctuary California Hiding Details on Accused Illegal Alien Child Abusers

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is accusing the sanctuary state of California of refusing to disclose if they plan to release a number of criminal illegal aliens, including those accused of crimes against children.

This week, ICE officials sent subpoenas to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office (SDCSO) asking for whereabout information and if the sanctuary state plans on releasing a series of illegal aliens.

"Issuance of these immigration subpoenas is necessary because the SDCSO is forced to comply with California's sanctuary state laws, and therefore cannot cooperate in honoring immigration detainers or requests for non-public information to assist in locating criminal aliens that have been or will be released from custody," an ICE release stated.

Specifically, ICE officials are seeking information on these four illegal aliens:

A 40-year-old illegally present Mexican national who was arrested in December ... for continuing sexual abuse of a child, lewd and lascivious act of a child under fourteen years old, and oral copulation with a person under fourteen years old. An immigration detainer was lodged with the SDSO. He has two DUI convictions, both from 2009. He has been returned to Mexico on eleven occasions between 2009 and 2011. He remains in SDSO custody at the county jail; [Emphasis added]

A 42-year-old illegally present Mexican national who was arrested for first degree robbery ... in November 2019. He has a prior conviction for possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) from 2013. A federal immigration judge granted him voluntarily departure, but he failed to depart the United States as ordered. After his November 2019 arrest, an immigration detainer was lodged with SDSO but due to California sanctuary state laws the detainer was not honored, and he was released back into the community; [Emphasis added]

A 31-year-old illegally present Mexican national who was arrested ... for battery of spouse and false imprisonment in December 2019. He has a prior conviction for deceptive government identification, 2008. U.S. immigration authorities previously returned or removed him from the U. S. three times between 2008 and 2010. ICE lodged an immigration detainer with SDSO following his December arrest but due to California sanctuary state laws the detainer was not honored, and he was released back into the community; [Emphasis added]

A 28-year-old illegally present Mexican national who was arrested for assault with force, great bodily injury, child cruelty and battery of spouse ... He was previously arrested in 2017 for battery on spouse by local law enforcement. He was returned to Mexico multiple times in 2004. A final order of removal was issued by a federal immigration judge in January 2018 and he was removed to Mexico. Once again, he illegally reentered the United States. An immigration detainer was lodged with the SDSO and he remains in custody. [Emphasis added]

"The public needs to be aware and concerned that California sanctuary state laws do not protect public safety and is bad public policy," ICE official Gregory Archambeault said.

"Criminal aliens are being released back into the community daily and most will re-offend resulting in more victims," Archambeault said. "For ICE, the most concerning part about dealing with uncooperative jurisdictions, or places that are not allowed to work with us, is that we don't always know who is being arrested, when they'll be released, or if they are at-large in the community again."

The ICE subpoenas come as Attorney General William Barr has filed lawsuits against sanctuary jurisdictions New Jersey and King County, Washington, for obstructing federal immigration law and enforcement.

At the same time, President Trump is reportedly sending about 100 "elite tactical agents" to about 10 sanctuary cities to aid ICE agents in arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens, Breitbart News reported. The administration is hoping to increase arrests of criminal illegal aliens by 35 percent.

As Breitbart News has previously reported, sanctuary counties in California release thousands of illegal aliens back into American communities every day, according to federal immigration officials. In Los Angeles, California, for example, up to 100 criminal illegal aliens are released every day from police custody.

Over One Thousand Former DOJ Officials Call For Resignation of US Attorney General William Barr

The US attorney general is facing wide condemnation after reportedly using his position to lighten the sentencing of one of US President Donald Trump's longtime associates, following the president's angry tweets.

A group of 1143 former US Department of Justice (DoJ) prosecutors and officials who have served both Republican and Democratic presidential administrations signed a statement calling on Attorney General William Barr to resign, following what is reportedly his interference in the sentencing of US President Donald Trump's former election campaign adviser Roger Stone.

Former DoJ officials have called on the department's current employees to report "future abuses", and have additionally warned against carrying out "directives that are inconsistent with their oaths of office".

"And we call on every DOJ employee to follow their heroic example and be prepared to report future abuses to the Inspector General, the Office of Professional Responsibility, and Congress; to refuse to carry out directives that are inconsistent with their oaths of office; to withdraw from cases that involve such directives or other misconduct; and, if necessary, to resign and report publicly - in a manner consistent with professional ethics - to the American people the reasons for their resignation. We likewise call on the other branches of government to protect from retaliation those employees who uphold their oaths in the face of unlawful directives. The rule of law and the survival of our Republic demand nothing less," the statement reads.

DOJ opens news investigation into James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, former top DOJ official says

'All they did was swapped out a loser case for starting an investigation…'

Andrew Weissmann, a former top lawyer at the Justice Department who played a central role in Robert Mueller's investigation, said Friday the Justice Department has begun a new investigation into several former top FBI officials.

Weissmann, speaking to MSNBC host Chuck Todd, said the Justice Department has swapped its "loser case" against Andrew McCabe - in which the DOJ declined to pursue charges against McCabe for lying to investigators - for a new case against former FBI Director James Comey, McCabe, and Peter Strzok.

"All they did was swapped out a loser case for starting an investigation that is going to be of Comey, McCabe, Pete Strzok," Weissmann said, the Washington Examiner reported.

The investigation is related to the DOJ's review of the Michael Flynn case, Weissmann explained.

Last week, Attorney General William Barr appointed Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, to investigate the circumstances of the Flynn case, including his interview with FBI investigators.

NBC News reported that Jensen is "broadly" reviewing the case, suggesting latitude in the scope of his inquiry.

Imagine believing a Clown is going to clean up the swamp.

Barr: CIA operative

It is a sobering fact that American presidents (many of whom have been corrupt) have gone out of their way to hire fixers to be their attorney generals.

Consider recent history: Loretta Lynch (2015-2017), Eric Holder (2009-2015), Michael Mukasey (2007-2009), Alberto Gonzales (2005-2007), John Ashcroft (2001-2005),Janet Reno (1993-2001), Dick Thornburgh (1988-1991), Ed Meese (1985-1988), etc.

Barr, however, is a particularly spectacular and sordid case. As George H.W. Bush's most notorious insider, and as the AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr wreaked havoc, flaunted the rule of law, and proved himself to be one of the CIA/Deep State's greatest and most ruthless champions and protectors:

Barr was a full-time CIA operative, recruited by Langley out of high school, starting in 1971. Barr's youth career goal was to head the CIA.

CIA operative assigned to the China directorate, where he became close to powerful CIA operative George H.W. Bush, whose accomplishments already included the CIA/Cuba Bay of Pigs, Asia CIA operations (Vietnam War, Golden Triangle narcotics), Nixon foreign policy (Henry Kissinger), and the Watergate operation.

When George H.W. Bush became CIA Director in 1976, Barr joined the CIA's "legal office" and Bush's inner circle, and worked alongside Bush's longtime CIA enforcers Theodore "Ted" Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, and others, several of whom were likely involved with the Bay of Pigs/John F. Kennedy assassination, and numerous southeast Asian operations, from the Phoenix Program to Golden Triangle narco-trafficking.

Barr stonewalled and destroyed the Church Committee investigations into CIA abuses.

Barr stonewalled and stopped inquiries in the CIA bombing assassination of Chilean opposition leader Orlando Letelier.

Barr joined George H.W. Bush's legal/intelligence team during Bush's vice presidency (under President Ronald Reagan) Rose from assistant attorney general to Chief Legal Counsel to attorney general (1991) during the Bush 41 presidency.

Barr was a key player in the Iran-Contra operation, if not the most important member of the apparatus, simultaneously managing the operation while also "fixing" the legal end, ensuring that all of the operatives could do their jobs without fear of exposure or arrest.

In his attorney general confirmation, Barr vowed to "attack criminal organizations", drug smugglers and money launderers. It was all hot air: as AG, Barr would preserve, protect, cover up, and nurture the apparatus that he helped create, and use Justice Department power to escape punishment.

Barr stonewalled and stopped investigations into all Bush/Clinton and CIA crimes, including BCCI and BNL CIA drug banking, the theft of Inslaw/PROMIS software, and all crimes of state committed by Bush

Barr provided legal cover for Bush's illegal foreign policy and war crimes

Barr left Washington, and went through the "rotating door" to the corporate world, where he took on numerous directorships and counsel positions for major companies. In 2007 and again from 2017, Barr was counsel for politically-connected international law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Among its other notable attorneys and alumni are Kenneth Starr, John Bolton, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and numerous Trump administration attorneys. K&E's clients include sex trafficker/pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.

A strong case can be made that William Barr was as powerful and important a figure in the Bush apparatus as any other, besides Poppy Bush himself.

== William Barr and the Iran-Contra Scandal
CIA Covert Operative William Barr Nominated by Trump for Attorney General. His Role in the Iran Contra Affair ==

Why was Barr chosen, given his shocking and deeply criminal/cover-up kingpin background?

Was Trump duped by Deep State enemies, who have placed another predator into his administration with the power to destroy his presidency? Or has Trump co-opted and turned Barr, in the hopes that Barr will do Trump's bidding? Why would Barr ever turn against his own Deep State cronies?

Does Trump have a plan? With Barr in place, is Trump signaling to his enemies that "I now own the Deep State"? Or is Barr the Deep State's ultimate and final weapon against Trump, who remains surrounded by Bush/Clinton "swamp creatures" such as National Security Adviser John Bolton, who is one of Barr's many fellow Iran-Contra co-conspirators, Vice President Mike Pence (who is in ideal position for a coup against Trump, and remains very cozy with the Clintons, dozens of Obama appointees that remain in place, and Republican "Never Trumpers", all of whom continue to undermine Trump.

'''Prosecutor John Durham examining interagency turf war over Obama emails hacked by Russia: Report

'Federal prosecutor John Durham is scrutinizing the intelligence community's interagency turf war over viewing secretive foreign intelligence and the government restricting access to President Barack Obama's emails that were hacked by Russians but obtained by a foreign ally, sources claimed. Durham, selected by Attorney General William Barr last year to lead the Justice Department's inquiry into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the conduct of the U.S. government in dealing with the Kremlin's interference, apparently is focused on at least two clashes over sensitive information', according to sources cited by the New York Times.

The first internal Obama administration squabble, described by the article in vague terms, related to restrictions placed upon yet-unknown foreign intelligence by one intelligence agency, speculated to be the CIA directed by John Brennan. Other agencies, speculated to include the National Security Agency, wanted access to the material. One source suggested that the CIA wanted to mask American identities in the data set before allowing the NSA to view it. The second squabble was about the White House preventing the FBI from viewing U.S. emails hacked by the Russians but obtained, copied, and given to the United States by an unnamed foreign intelligence service. The Russians had hacked the Obama White House and State Department - as well as Congress - in 2014, and the FBI wanted to examine the reproduced emails to understand the Russian active measures campaign in 2016.

"But an index of the messages compiled by the unnamed foreign ally showed that they included emails from President Barack Obama as well as members of Congress," the New York Times reported. "Mr. Obama's White House counsel, W. Neil Eggleston, decided that investigators should not open the drives, citing executive privilege and the possibility of a separation-of-powers uproar if the FBI sifted through lawmakers' private messages." "The analysts could have been engaged in standard bureaucratic behavior like obeying the filtering process or hoarding sensitive information. Or perhaps they were trying to cover something up," the New York Times wrote. The hack was carried out by a Russian group known as Cozy Bear - the same group that analysts believe hacked the Democratic National Committee as well.

The Washington Post reported in 2017 that "the NSA was alerted to the compromises by a Western intelligence agency" and that "the ally had managed to hack not only the Russians' computers, but also the surveillance cameras inside their workspace, according to the former officials." The officials said the foreign ally "monitored the hackers as they maneuvered inside the U.S. systems and as they walked in and out of the workspace, and were able to see faces." The foreign intelligence now being scrutinized by Durham likely came from the Netherlands.

An article by the Telegraph in 2018 detailed how the Dutch "penetrated the systems of the Russian cyber unit known as Cozy Bear in mid-2014 and monitored them for at least a year" and "informed the CIA and helped remove Cozy Bear from U.S. State Department computers they had hacked into in late 2014" while they "also monitored the Russian hackers as they tried to undermine unclassified computer systems in Congress and the White House." A piece by Dutch outlet de Volkskrant claimed in 2018 that Dutch intelligence "became witness to the Russian hackers harassing and penetrating the leaders of the Democratic Party, transferring thousands of emails and documents" and "provided crucial evidence of the Russian involvement in the hacking of the Democratic Party." The outlet claimed the Dutch information was "also grounds for the FBI to start an investigation into the influence of the Russian interference on the election." Durham "asked questions that appear aimed at understanding how analysts reached their conclusion and who drove that process ... and whether and how information from foreign governments or the CIA played any role in stoking suspicions at the FBI about Trump campaign links to Russia," sources cited by the New York Times said.

Jewish U.S. Attorney General William Barr Makes Slapping A Jew A Federal 'Hate' Crime

"
Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:

"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "

The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"

To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.

NOTE:
Barr's father was born Jewish but later converted to Catholicism. His mother is of Irish ancestry. Barr was raised Catholic.
He's Catholic, not Jewish.
The article goes overboard regarding that, but the gist of the article is solid (Jews are getting unfair special treatment that only makes everyone hate them).

US attorney caved to 'ultimatum' by Mueller prosecutors in Roger Stone case

Attorney General William Barr's handpicked top prosecutor presiding over the Roger Stone case reportedly 'caved to prosecutors seeking a steep prison sentence for the longtime friend of President Trump. Timothy Shea, the recently installed interim U.S. attorney in D.C., informed Justice Department leadership that he believed the initial seven-to-nine-year sentencing recommendation for Stone was too excessive', DOJ sources told the Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel.

But the four line prosecutors, including three who served on special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, threatened to withdraw from the case if their penalty request was diminished, and with Monday's court deadline approaching, Shea relented. "Mr. Shea - new to the job - suffered a moment of cowardice and submitted to this ultimatum," Strassel wrote. Once DOJ leadership learned of the tall sentencing recommendation for Stone, who was convicted of witness tampering and lying to Congress, they moved to overrule the prosecutors, suggesting instead up to four years of prison time. In short order, the four federal prosecutors withdrew from the case, and one quit his job entirely. A Justice Department representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this report.

As Trump tweeted about the original guidance early Tuesday, calling it a "miscarriage of justice" before the reversal, Democrats have accused him and Attorney General William Barr of interfering in the case, demanding investigations. Prosecutors from around the country told the media that the Stone situation has increased their anxiety about working on any cases that might attract interest from Trump for fear that Barr would not back them up. Barr said he was "very surprised" by the tougher suggested penalty but claimed the decision to scale it back was made before Trump slammed the guidance. He also told ABC News on Thursday that Trump's constant public commentary on the Justice Department makes "it impossible for me to do my job" and claimed that his work would remain independent from the president's political desires. The White House said Trump "wasn't bothered" by Barr condemning his tweets, but the president tweeted about Barr the very next day. "'The President has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case,'" Trump said Friday on Twitter, quoting Barr. "This doesn't mean that I do not have, as President, the legal right to do so, I do, but I have so far chosen not to!"

William Barr's Father Donald Barr Wrote a 1975 Scifi Novel About a Space Colony of Oligarchs with child sex slaves.
>https://twitter.com/JTweets1234/status/1228536557650481153?s=20

Donald Barr's son, US Attorney General William Barr is currently investigating the death of Jeffrey Epstein.

In 1973, Donald Barr, hired a young 20 year old college dropout named Jeffrey E. Epstein to teach math at the Dalton School. Epstein taught at the school between 1974 and 1976.

Donald Barr also wrote this sci-fi novel, Space Relations, about sex slavery in space.

Epstein went on to build a career in finance and became a multimillionaire. He served time in 2008 as a sex offender for having molested 36 girls, some as young as 14.

In July 2019, Epstein was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. Epstein committed suicide while being held in US Federal custody on August 10, 2019.

US Attorney General William Barr was appointed by the Trump administration in February 2019.

From the back cover: "ON A DISTANT PLANET IN THE DISTANT FUTURE. When all the galaxies are colonized, John Craig, a young space diplomat, is captured by interplanetary pirates and sold into slavery. On Kossar, where boredom and absolute power have driven the rulers to a special kind of madness, Craig is auctioned off to the exquisite Lady Morgan Sidney, a beautiful, sensual woman. He soon makes his way from the hellish slave mines into her bed in the tower of her castle. And it is here, under the strange castle, that he finds the secret that may bring about the end of man in the galaxy. SPACE RELATIONS—A bizzare, fascinating tale of a Feudal Age of the Future"

Q Research General #10421: The 23:23 Edition

Did the dirty cops of the Roger Stone case step into a Barr trap?

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/02/did_the_dirty_cops_of_the_roger_stone_case_step_into_a_Barr_trap.html

Roger Stone liked to gleefully call himself a "dirty trickster," but he was no match for the dirty cops of the Department of Justice who railroaded him with a nine-year sentence for three process crimes, including one where his purported victim said no crime happened.

Now it looks as though the dirty cops - the four prosecutors who lied to the Department of Justice about Stone's sentencing recommendations, and the far-left judge who allowed a nakedly Trump-hating partisan to serve as Stone's jury forewoman again - might just have been trapped themselves by none other than U.S. Attorney General William Barr.

For starters, it would explain why President Trump says he has no beef with Barr over Barr's criticism of his tweets. It would also explain why the Schiff show in the House, fresh from failing to take down Trump, now says it now wants to impeach Barr.

According to a series of tweets by Brian Cates, which can be read with ease on ThreadReader – here is a speculative outline attempting to draw links that add up to some rather impressive power moves:

Let me remind you all what happened since last November around this case:

1) Trump suddenly nominates US Attorney Jessie Liu to a top Treasury Dept. job, she accepts; Trump nominates Timothy O'Shea to replace her. She is the one who has been guiding the Stone case.
2) all 4 prosecutors suddenly agree amongst themselves they will brief the DOJ one sentencing recommendation, but then actually file a far more lengthy recommendation with the court.

With me so far?
There is only one reason these prosecutors would do this.

They expected to get COVER from both the US ATTORNEY overseeing the case and from THE JUDGE presiding over the case in court.

Despite DOJ complaints about the tactic, Liu & Judge Jackson have their backs.

Cates goes on to explain why they seemed so bold about lying as they did. They had counted on Liu to keep the Barr people from hopping around mad about the new draconian change of sentencing recommendations for Stone. They had counted on Judge Jackson to go ahead and deliver them, even though she too knew that they were way out of sentencing guideline. Sticking it to the Trumpsters was the idea.

But it didn't work out like they thought it would. According to Cates:

Then all of these next two things happen in the span of two days:

3) the DOJ suddenly files a COUNTER to the prosecution teams own absurd filing. This was not supposed to happen. DOJ would have informed Liu first they were doing this, then she'd have warned them.
4) when the prosecution team russhes to contact the US Attorney's Office in DC for an explanation, what they discover so surprises them that ALL FOUR TEAM MEMBERS resign within hours of each other.

What did these prosecutors discover BEFORE anybody else did?

Only this:
5) the Stone prosecution team discovers TWO things:

a) Trump had just WITHDRAWN Lin's nomination to that cool new Treasury job and…

b) Attorney General William Barr had just told Liu that O'Shea was replacing her IMMEDIATELY.

They don't have any cover. They've been BURNED.

Jewish U.S. Attorney General William Barr Makes Slapping A Jew A Federal 'Hate' Crime

"
Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:

"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "

The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"

To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.

Barr assigns outside prosecutor to review Russiagate's Michael Flynn's case - report

General Michael Flynn seems to be getting a lifeline from the attorney general following his claim that prosecutors in the Mueller investigation "concocted the alleged false statements" he was accused of making.

Attorney General William Barr has assigned an outside prosecutor to examine the criminal case against US President Donald Trump's former national security advisor, according to a report from the New York Times.

St. Louis prosecutor Jeff Jenson is heading the team reexamining the Justice Department's case against Flynn. The second look at Flynn's case is part of a larger probe by Barr to go over politically-sensitive national security cases taken on in the last couple years by the Justice Department. Outside prosecutors have reportedly been grilling prosecutors in Washington about past cases and their reasons for taking them, in the hopes of finding political motivations.

Though General Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements during the Mueller investigation, he filed a motion last month asking for the case to be withdrawn and his guilty plea to be overturned. Flynn claims prosecutors for the Justice Department "concocted the alleged 'false statements.'"

Andrew McCabe denies claim that John Durham offered pre-indictment plea deal
October 30, 2019

Andrew McCabe's legal team denied a claim that the former FBI deputy director was offered a pre-indictment plea deal from U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting a criminal inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation.

Conservative commentator Mark Levin said on his radio show a "very good source" told him that McCabe had rejected the offer, after which Durham impaneled a grand jury in Washington, D.C.

"This is what I was told by a very, very, good source. No, not the attorney general. No, not the U.S. attorney. Remember, I worked at Justice years ago, so I know a lot of people. Could be wrong, but I'm told it's pretty solid. That is that Durham offered McCabe a pre-indictment plea agreement and McCabe turned it down, so they impaneled a grand jury in Washington, D.C.," Levin said Friday.

While acknowledging that he did not have first-hand information, Levin hinted that CNN - where McCabe became a contributor in August - was aware of this, and he challenged the media to "go ahead and check this out."

McCabe's legal team denied Durham had made any such offer. "Any assertion that Andrew McCabe was offered a plea deal is 100% false," a representative for McCabe told the Washington Examiner.

Durham's office declined a request for comment.

Earlier this year, Attorney General William Barr tasked Durham with a review of the early stages of the Russia investigation up through the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller in 2017. Last week, it was revealed that Durham's administrative review had transitioned into a criminal inquiry, giving him the power to impanel grand juries and hand down indictments.

Durham's team has interviewed at least two dozen current and former FBI officials. A source close to the matter told the Washington Examiner that McCabe has not been contacted by Durham and would unlikely accept any plea deal in connection to the investigation.

McCabe, a 21-year veteran of the FBI, said Friday he is not concerned about whether Durham was "targeting" him and his work at the FBI.

"No," McCabe said during an appearance on CNN. "If the investigation is conducted with integrity, with impartiality, if there aren't preconceived theories or judgments brought into it, then I have no concerns about it whatsoever, whether it's an internal investigation or conducted as a criminal probe."

Because he supervised the Trump-Russia investigation, McCabe said he knows "nothing inappropriate was done."

A 2018 report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz found the former FBI official "lacked candor" with former FBI Director James Comey, FBI investigators, and Justice Department watchdog investigators about his authorization to leak to the media the existence of an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation, for which McCabe was fired. McCabe sued the Justice Department and FBI in August for wrongful termination.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., is weighing criminal charges against McCabe stemming from the Horowitz report and his appeal last month to avoid criminal charges was denied by the Justice Department with federal prosecutors recommending charges. It does not appear that a grand jury has delivered any indictment yet.

U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton of Washington, D.C., warned the prosecutors they have until Nov. 15 to charge McCabe or drop the case. If they do not make a decision by the deadline, the judge said he would order the Justice Department to release documents related to McCabe's employment and firing.

McCabe's lawyers have expressed frustration with the Justice Department's delays, denying McCabe did anything wrong and claiming that "this investigation has been fatally flawed from its inception." McCabe said he would "absolutely not" accept a plea deal in that case.

McCabe is separately being looked at by Horowitz in part for his role in helping approve Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications, which made use of British ex-spy Christopher Steele's salacious and unverified dossier to target Trump associate Carter Page.

Barr Says He Was 'Happy' Roger Stone Was Convicted, But Thinks 9-Year Prison Proposal Was 'Very Excessive'

Attorney General William Barr said in an interview Thursday that he was "happy" that Roger Stone was convicted at trial last year, but that he believes that prosecutors' initial suggestion that the longtime Trump confidante spend up to nine years in prison was too steep.

"It was very excessive," Barr said of Stone's sentence recommendation in an interview with ABC News.

"And I didn't want my department to be behind that. Because I believe that each individual as unsavory as they may be, and I'm not a fan of Roger Stone, but he's entitled to the particularized and careful application of the law to his case."

Barr's interview was his first since the Justice Department revised its sentencing recommendation for Stone, a longtime GOP operative convicted with obstructing the House Intelligence Committee's Russia investigation and witness tampering.

The biggest headline from the interview was Barr saying that he was perturbed with President Trump's tweets about the Stone case. Trump tweeted just hours after prosecutors' submitted their prison recommendation that it was "disgraceful" and a "miscarriage of justice."

Hours later, a Justice Department official signaled that Barr and other officials were "shocked" by the hefty prison recommendation and planned to revise it in a new court filing. Before that filing was submitted, four prosecutors withdrew from the Stone case.

Barr lamented that Trump's tweets created the appearance that any change made to the sentencing proposal would be seen as him kowtowing to the president.

And that's what happened.

Democrats and media pundits sounded off on Barr, accusing him of acting as Trump's personal lawyer rather than attorney general of the United States.

Barr described what he said was a "miscommunication" that led the core team of Stone prosecutors to submit the heavy prison recommendation.

He said that Timothy Shea, the newly appointed U.S. attorney, "raised some questions" about Stone's sentence because he was "concerned" that federal guidelines indicated that the sentence would be between seven and nine years.

Barr said that he, Shea, and other officials wanted to leave it up to the judge in Stone's case to decide an appropriate jail term, rather than go by federal guidelines.

"I've heard very few people actually suggest that 7 to 9 year sentence would be appropriate in this case. Very few people," Barr said.

"I think it was established, he was convicted of obstructing Congress and witness tampering. And I thought that was a righteous prosecution. And I was happy that he was convicted."

Barr denied that Trump pressured him to relax the recommendation, saying that he did not need the president to tell him that nine years was too hefty a jail sentence for Stone's crimes.

"And as I say, I could not support the 7 to the 9 year - and I didn't need anybody to tell me that 7 to 9 years was an excessive sentence. You think I need the president's tweet to tell me that 7 to 9 years is excessive? That was the reaction of you know the senior staff here that, you know, there's not really a comparable situation where that kind of sentence has been used."

Durham scrutinizing John Brennan's handling of Russian interference in 2016

U.S. Attorney John Durham is reportedly reviewing John Brennan's analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of the former Obama CIA director's handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin.

Durham, who was selected by Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to look into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the government's response to Moscow's meddling, is investigating whether Brennan's CIA was attempting to keep other agencies in the dark as he pushed for a specific preconceived analytic assessment about Russia's true intentions in 2016, the New York Times reported Thursday.

The top Connecticut prosecutor's team reviewed emails from the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency analysts who came together to assess Russia's interference, the new report revealed, and Durham's investigators pressed for answers about why some agencies at least temporarily denied other agencies access to secretive intelligence about the Kremlin's active measures campaign.

Durham interviewed agents and analysts from all three agencies, and the report said he was scrutinizing whether the clash over intelligence sharing was the typical sort of bureaucratic turf battle over jealously guarded secrets or an effort to cover something up.

Much of this revolves around how the United States government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian meddling and whether Brennan was pushing for a biased result.

One major battle was about the identity and credibility of a CIA source allegedly close to the Kremlin. The NSA wanted more details about him, which the CIA resisted before providing them. The NSA then disagreed with the CIA and FBI about how much confidence to place in the source.

At least some intelligence officials were disturbed by a law enforcement officer such as Durham inquiring into the assessments made by intelligence agencies, though Durham played a similar role in his Obama-era investigation into the CIA's destruction of tapes showing the harsh interrogation of detainees.

Durham hasn't yet interviewed Brennan, though the report said his emails and other records have been requested from the CIA by the U.S. attorney. Retired Adm. Mike Rogers, who was head of the NSA at the time, was interviewed by Durham last summer and fall.

The January 2017 intelligence community assessment in question concluded with "high confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin "ordered an influence campaign in 2016" and that Russia worked to "undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate former Secretary of State [Hillary] Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency" and "developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump." The NSA diverged on one aspect, expressing only "moderate confidence" that Putin actively tried to help Trump's election chances and harm those of Clinton by contrasting her unfavorably.

Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "

The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"

To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.

A former U.S. Treasury official pleaded guilty Monday to illegally leaking highly confidential documents about suspicious financial transactions by ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort and others to reporters at BuzzFeed News.

I did some more digging and came across an "Anonymous" Opinion article in the New York Times June 9, 1995…

It contains the phrases "symbolism was important" "shot heard round the world" and "engage in sterile combat in the months to come."

Mr. Clinton's First Veto
June 9, 1995

If not the shot heard round the world, President Clinton's veto of a Republican-sponsored $16.4 billion budget cut was a welcome and overdue display of White House resolve.

The money involved was minimal but the symbolism was important. The veto suggests a willingness by Mr. Clinton to take some risks in battling the Republican assault on his programs. He will need to do so again if he is to salvage his Presidency and define what it stands for.

The main risk was that Mr. Clinton would be seen as an opponent of fiscal responsibility and, specifically, as an enemy of humanitarian relief. The bill provided funds for victims of the disasters in California and Oklahoma.

The veto might also have been interpreted as a signal that he had given up hope of negotiating his differences with Congress. Since taking office, the President has tried hard not to be seen as confrontational. This was, in fact, his first veto. No President has waited so long to wield the veto power since the 1850's.

But the issues defined by Mr. Clinton were the right ones, giving him credibility for the next time he confronts a hostile Congress. He objected to cuts for education and training, environmental protection, nutrition programs and other important areas. It is unthinkable, as he said, that these programs should be trimmed to make room for pork-Barrel projects.

Although he did not make much of the environmental issue, a provision sought by logging interests to allow indiscriminate timber cutting on Federal lands would have been sufficient reason to say no.

Mr. Clinton signaled a readiness to compromise. Both he and the Republicans, who also made accommodating noises, sense that Americans want the two sides to work together rather than engage in sterile combat in the months to come.

Future veto battles will be more difficult than this one, and Mr. Clinton must stick to principle. The veto is his only power to influence legislation, but it cannot by itself force Congress to approve legislation to the Administration's liking. In such areas as welfare reform, environmental changes and foreign aid – where the Administration has hinted that a veto might be necessary – the President needs to accompany his threats with a clear outline of the alternatives he seeks.

A version of this article appears in print on June 9, 1995, Section A, Page 28 of the National edition with the headline: Mr. Clinton's First Veto

Report: Flynn Prosecutors Misled AG Bill Barr on Gen. Flynn Sentencing - Just Like Roger Stone Prosecutors
by Jim Hoft February 13, 2020

It's starting to look like the Deep State and Democrats planned the commotion this week to take down Attorney General Bill Barr.
Roger Stone's deep state prosecutors this week stunned the Attorney General's office by pushing for a sentence of 7-9 years for Roger Stone in a process crime in the Trump-collusion hoax investigation.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier- The DOJ Backing Down From Abusive Sentencing Recommendation For Roger Stone
"The Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate," the source told Fox News.
The DOJ is changing its sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone, according to a Senior DOJ official.
"The Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate," the source said, adding the DOJ will clarify its position on sentencing later today
- Jake Gibson (@JakeBGibson) February 11, 2020
The Department of Justice said it was "shocked" at the excessive prison term being sought by Mueller's prosecutors because it wasn't what the DOJ was initially briefed on. Either Mueller's thugs lied to the DOJ or they sought more prison time for Roger Stone in retaliation for Trump's impeachment acquittal.
And now it appears the same thing happened in the General Flynn case.
Attorney General Bill Barr was also reportedly stunned and angry when the Flynn prosecutors asked the judge last month to consider prison time for General Flynn. Barr was under the impression his underlings would not advocate for that.
CNN reported:
In recent filings, the Justice Department appeared to waiver on seeking prison. But they also have harshly warned Flynn of the consequences he may face by switching his plea to not guilty, if the judge allows it.
The filing on Wednesday - again positioning prosecutors in opposition to what Flynn wants - came amid rising tensions between the attorney general and the Justice Department's career prosecutors in Washington, including former Mueller prosecutors still at work on cases that originated with the special counsel's investigation. The Justice Department's new filing on Flynn seemingly popped up out of nowhere, many days before any statement from the department was due to the court in the case.
In recent weeks, the Justice Department's approach to Flynn has created a debate between career prosecutors who want him to serve prison time and top political officials at the Justice Department, who advocated for probation only. Attorney General William Barr was angry, for instance, when prosecutors asked the judge in January to consider prison for Flynn, because Barr had thought his underlings wouldn't advocate for that.

Barr: Trump tweets on cases make it 'impossible' to do job

WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General William Barr took a public swipe at President Donald Trump on Thursday, saying that the president's tweets about Justice Department prosecutors and cases "make it impossible for me to do my job."

Barr made the comment during an interview with ABC News just days after his Justice Department overruled its own prosecutors - who had recommended in a court filing that Trump's longtime ally and confidant Roger Stone be sentenced to 7 to 9 years in prison - and took the extraordinary step of lowering the amount of prison time it would seek. The department didn't offer an amended number.

Barr himself has been under fire for the Justice Department action, and Thursday's comment served as a defense of his own integrity.

The story said members of President Trump's family would be charged but also noted that it is Department of Justice policy not to indict a sitting President. However, there was no frenzy at the DoJ on Friday, no throng of reporters to make the tourists heading up Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House stop and look. So what happened?

Several sources tell Cockburn that the Special Counsel has indeed completed his report. It is said to recommend indicting three of President Trump's children - Don junior, Ivanka and Eric - as well as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The Attorney General, William Barr, is said to have 'silently assented' to this. It's also claimed that Mueller wants President Trump himself to be indicted. Barr is said to oppose this. The two men met on Friday but apparently could not agree and this was the reason for the delay in any announcement from the DoJ. At least this is what the sources say.

So who are these sources? Joseph Heller mocked Washington's - and journalism's - culture of 'sources' in his novel Good as Gold.

Mexican Government Deploys Elite Marines to Combat Drug Cartels Thanks to Pressure From the Trump Administration

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador recently deployed Mexico's underutilized elite marine force to combat drug cartels, after facing pressure from the Trump administration to step up its fight against the flow of narcotics, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.

The WSJ noted that this decision represents a change from a "counternarcotics strategy that largely ended the pursuit of high-profile arrests and focused almost exclusively on poverty alleviation."

"We are operating again," one senior Mexican navy officer stated. He added, "The targets we need to go after have been defined."

For a broader context, this strategy came about after growing concern from the Trump administration that Mexico has failed to keep the drug trade in check in light of last November's cartel murder of nine American citizens. According to some estimates, Mexico's total murders in 2019 is on the verge of exceeding 2018's record of 36,685.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr has led the charge in putting pressure on Mexico to step up its security measures.

On two occasions, Barr visited Mexico to encourage AMLO to use Mexican marines as part of a more robust counternarcotics plan against drug traffickers. Additionally, he advised AMLO to strengthen the extradition process of suspects who have escaped the U.S. while being wanted for crimes. Last month, Barr advised the Mexican government to target fentanyl labs, in addition to clamping down on seaports being used to deliver some of the chemical inputs used in the labs.

The Mexican marines, the Mexican security force which U.S. officials have the most confidence in, successfully carried out high-profile arrests and killings of cartel leaders during the last two decades. Most notable in these apprehensions, include the two times drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán was arrested.

This new strategy is a stark contrast to AMLO's "hugs, not bullets" approach which focused on addressing poverty instead of taking cartels head on.

Thanks to Trump's pressure, AMLO is starting to get the memo and is beginning to take his country's security seriously.

Roger Stone jury foreperson's anti-Trump views surface, raising new questions about his trial and conviction

Roger Stone jury foreperson's anti-Trump social media posts surface, other jurors scrutinized, as Dems call for Barr's resignation
Newly revealed anti-Trump views of the foreperson of the jury that convicted former Trump adviser Roger Stone - and new revelations about the political ties of other jurors - have raised questions about how the case was handled and whether Stone's lawyers could seek a new trial.

Former Memphis City Schools Board President Tomeka Hart revealed Wednesday that she was the foreperson of the jury that convicted Stone on obstruction charges last year – and soon afterward, her history of Democratic activism and a string of her anti-Trump, left-wing social media posts came to light. Hart confirmed to CNN and other media organizations that she had written a Facebook post supporting the Justice Department prosecutors in the Stone case who abruptly stepped down from their posts Tuesday, saying she "can't keep quiet any longer." The prosecutors apparently objected after senior DOJ officials overrode their recommendation to Jackson that Stone face up to nine years in prison.

In addition, it was revealed that U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson had denied a defense request to strike a potential juror who was Obama-era press official with admitted anti-Trump views – and whose husband worked at the same Justice Department division that handled the probe leading to Stone's arrest. All these revelations raised the prospect that Stone's team could again seek a new trial, especially if Hart provided inaccurate responses under oath on her pretrial questionnaires concerning social media activity.

Meanwhile, lawmakers, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., called on Attorney General William Barr to resign over his handling of the Stone case. The House Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday it will question Barr during a March 31 hearing.

House Intel Committee Republicans Boycott Hearing Due to Schiff's Refusal to Address FISA Abuses

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee boycotted a hearing on Wednesday, complaining that the committee's Democratic chairman Adam Schiff has neglected proper oversight of the intelligence community by failing to hold a hearing on the Justice Department inspector general's report detailing the FBI's FISA abuses.

"Under your chairmanship, the House Intelligence Committee has strayed far from its mandate of overseeing the Intelligence Community," the panel's nine GOP members wrote in a letter to Schiff obtained by the Daily Caller.

"Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities," they added.

The Republican representatives afterwards boycotted a hearing of the Strategic Technology and Advanced Research Subcommittee on the development of artificial intelligence for national security, criticizing the hearing as a "publicity event."

In December, the Justice Department's inspector general released a report concluding that the FBI omitted crucial details in its requests for warrants to surveil Trump campaign associate Carter Page, specifically that the agency neglected to inform the FISA court that the controversial Steele dossier, cited in applications to spy on Page, was unreliable.

The dossier was compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele who was investigating Donald Trump for an opposition research firm hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The dossier purported to show connections between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

The DOJ inspector general did not say the FISA court should have declined to grant the warrants, but Attorney General William Barr has disagreed, saying the FBI launched an "intrusive investigation" of the Trump campaign on the "thinnest of suspicions" that were "insufficient to justify the steps taken."

"We have gone months at a time in which we've hardly held any oversight-related briefings or hearings at all," the Intelligence Committee Republicans wrote to Schiff. "Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities."

Jewish U.S. Attorney General William Barr Makes Slapping A Jew A Federal 'Hate' Crime

"
Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:

"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."

Joseph Mifsud, one of the key players in the Russiagate scandal, was last seen in Zurich while visiting his lawyers on May 21 2018 before disappearing. The Associated Press had mentioned a picture of him shot with an iPhone which has never been published. Il Foglio can reveal the exclusive picture of Joseph Mifsud, to whom special counsel Robert Mueller referred to as "The Professor" while investigating on Russian interferences in the American electoral campaign.

A long-standing faculty member at the Link Campus, a Rome-based university chaired by former Italian interior minister Vincenzo Scotti where many prominent Five Star Movement officials have taught, the Maltese lecturer is now back at the forefront of the Russiagate investigation. According to the Washington Post and the New York Times, US president Donald Trump sent his Attorney general William Barr on a mission to Rome on September 27 to speak to Italian officials. The Trump administration is keen to "investigate the investigators", meaning it is trying to gather information on the Mueller investigation in order to discredit the special counsel's findings. Trump has reportedly pressured the Australian PM Scott Morrison, probably to verify the alleged involvement of the austrialian ambassador Alexander Downer, and is now appealing to the Italian government for help.

Jewish U.S. Attorney General William Barr Makes Slapping A Jew A Federal 'Hate' Crime

"
Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:

"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "

The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"

To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.

Attorney General William Barr to testify before House Judiciary Committee

The arrangement comes as Democrats have demanded answers about Barr's apparent intervention in the sentencing of Roger Stone.

Attorney General William Barr has accepted an invitation to testify to the House Judiciary Committee next month, ending a year-long standoff that began when the panel first demanded his testimony in the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

The arrangement comes as Democrats have demanded answers about Barr's apparent intervention in the sentencing of President Donald Trump's longtime ally Roger Stone, who was convicted last year on charges that he lied to congressional investigators and threatened a witness.

Hours after Trump railed against Justice Department prosecutors for recommending a seven- to nine-year sentence for Stone, DOJ rebuked its own team and issued a revised recommendation calling for a lighter sentence. The four prosecutors assigned to Stone's case abruptly withdrew on Tuesday.

On Wednesday morning, Trump hailed Barr for "taking charge" of the matter, confirming suggestions that it was the attorney general himself who intervened.

Barr's appearance before the committee will bring him face to face with some of Trump's fiercest political adversaries, including Chairman Jerry Nadler, who subpoenaed the Justice Department last year to obtain Mueller's underlying evidence and has gone to court to overrule Barr's refusal to share the grand jury evidence Mueller collected.

Democrats have a long list of issues they're likely to press Barr on, including his involvement in decisions surrounding Trump's decision to withhold military funds from Ukraine last year, and his handling of a whistleblower complaint about the episode that DOJ determined should be withheld from Congress, overruling an intelligence community inspector general.

COLLUSION
DOJ Attorney Says Russian Government Had Nothing To Do With Troll Farms
By Adam Mill
JULY 11, 2019

A newly released transcript reveals details of a humiliating hearing that took place the day before Robert Mueller's puzzling press conference.

A Robert Mueller with a surprisingly frail voice took to the lectern on May 29, 2019. Visibly uncomfortable, he delivered a puzzling address to reporters curious about the strangely timed press conference. Mueller spoke for a few minutes until arriving at what now appears to be the real purpose of the press conference: damage control.

"As the grand jury alleged in a separate indictment, a private Russian entity engaged in a social media operation, where Russian citizens posed as Americans in order to influence an election," he said. "These indictments contain allegations, and we are not commenting on the guilt or the innocence of any specific defendant. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty."

We already knew at that point that Mueller had worked with Attorney General William Barr to redact the report to remove references which could harm "ongoing investigations," or infringe on the privacy of "peripheral third parties." But he overlooked one category in redactions: Prosecutors aren't supposed to try cases in newspapers and press conferences.

Are Press Conferences Customary-or Appropriate?
In his effort to seem fair and conciliatory to his old friend Mueller, Barr told America that, "As the special counsel's report makes clear, the Russian government sought to interfere in our election. But thanks to the special counsel's thorough investigation, we now know that the Russian operatives who perpetrated these schemes did not have the cooperation of President Trump or the Trump campaign..."

Mueller's report said something similar: "the investigation established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election through the 'active measures' social media campaign carried out by the IRA, an organization funded by Prigozhin and companies that he controlled."

Recall that after the Department of Justice (DOJ) held a dramatic press conference announcing indictments of Russian companies for allegedly interfering in the American presidential election, one of those defendants, Concord, hired an attorney to fight back. That case, as I've written here and here, has turned into a disaster for the DOJ and America's cherished traditions of freedom of speech.

"Russia interfered in the election" became such an established truth of the mainstream press that expressing skepticism would be labeled a "conspiracy theory." But now, in open court, an attorney representing the Department of Justice has admitted that the Russian government had nothing to do with the internet troll farm case.

Mueller and Barr's reckless publicity of unproven "Russian interference" allegations as "established" confronted federal Judge Dabney L. Freidrich with a challenge to her authority to preside over a trial to determine whether Concord is guilty of anything. Again, the Mueller report publicly pronounced that the Mueller team "established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election through the 'active measures' social media campaign." Really? So why are we even bothering to have a trial if the government has already "established" that Concord is guilty?

DOJ Won't Tie Russian Government to Troll Farm
A newly released transcript reveals details of a humiliating hearing that took place the day before Mueller's puzzling press conference. The judge asked the prosecutor, "Can you address also the specific tie to the Russian government, which is the overarching comment that the attorney general made tying both this case and then the case involving the hacking and the release of the e-mails, the GRU case, to the Russian government?"

Buckle up, buttercup, because you're not going to believe DOJ's response: "The report doesn't say that." What? I thought we "knew" that the Russian government committed an act of war by posting politically charged information on the internet. Now the DOJ is backing away from any tie between the internet troll farm and the Russian government?

The DOJ has now admitted that the Mueller report "itself does not state anywhere that the Russian government was behind the Internet Research Agency [and Concord] activity." Whoa. The judge then asked, "So it is the government's position that tying Concord and its co-defendants to the Russian government is not prejudicial?"

Giuliani producing documentary on Hunter Biden: report

Rudy Giuliani, president Trump's personal attorney and the former mayor of New York City, is producing a documentary on Hunter Biden, according to Yahoo News.

Giuliani has reportedly begun conducting interviews for the documentary and approaching investors.

The report of the documentary comes less than a week after the Senate voted to acquit Trump on impeachment charges, though Giuliani reportedly began his efforts last month.

Giuliani did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

Last week, Giuliani said in an NPR interview that the administration should continue investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden after the Senate impeachment trial concluded.

Trump alleges that the former vice president used his office during the Obama administration to remove Viktor Shokin, a top Ukrainian prosecutor at the time, to try to help his son. Biden did seek Shokin's removal, but he was reflecting a position held by the Obama administration, as well as allies in Western Europe.

Trump's efforts to get Ukraine to investigate Biden were at the center of the impeachment case against him.

Giuliani, who is not a U.S. official or officeholder, has been a key player in Trump's dealings with Ukraine.

Lev Parnas, an associate of Giuliani's who has been indicted, provided materials to the House Intelligence Committee tying Giuliani to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

He also provided a video of Trump allegedly dismissing ousted U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch after Parnas suggested that she supported Trump's impeachment.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Sunday on CBS's "Face The Nation" that "if Rudy Giuliani has any information coming out of the Ukraine, he needs to turn it over to the Department of Justice, because it could be Russian propaganda."

Graham suggested Attorney General William Barr would create an avenue for Giuliani to provide that information and the Justice Department would verify it.

Justice Department has been reviewing Ukraine material for "several weeks," source says

Washington - Justice Department officials have been "quietly" reviewing records and documents from Ukraine for "several weeks," a source familiar with the matter tells CBS News.

The source said staff outside of Main Justice in Washington have been assigned by Attorney General William Barr to review the Ukraine matter, adding that the review is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh and is separate from U.S. Attorney John Durham's probe into the origins of the FBI's Russia probe.

The new review includes some material provided by Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, but goes beyond matters regarding former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

President Trump urged the president of Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and supposed Ukrainian election interference in a July 2019 phone call that eventually led to his impeachment. Democrats charged him with abusing his power by pressuring a foreign leader to investigate his domestic political opponent.

But calls to investigate the Bidens and events in Ukraine have gained new life in the wake of Mr. Trump's acquittal in his Senate impeachment trial.

On Sunday, Senator Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told "Face the Nation" that Barr had established a process for Giuliani to submit information that he collected in Ukraine to the Justice Department. Graham warned that any material coming from the former Soviet republic "could be Russian propaganda."

On Monday, Barr said the Justice Department had "an open door to anybody who wishes to provide us information that they think is relevant" and had established an "intake process in the field" for receiving and verifying material from Ukraine. He said any information from Giuliani or others would be "carefully scrutinized by the department and its intelligence community partners so that we could assess its provenance and its credibility."

"We have to be very careful with respect to any information coming from the Ukraine," Barr said at an unrelated press conference. "There are a lot of agendas in the Ukraine. There are a lot of crosscurrents. And we can't take anything we receive from the Ukraine at face value.'

Democrats reacted with fury over the Justice Department's willingness to examine material about Ukraine and the Bidens, accusing the administration of once again targeting the president's political rivals based on spurious allegations. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler wrote a letter to Barr expressing his "serious concern" over the situation and demanding answers about the "intake process."

"As you know, the Department has formal, established channels by which to receive information and begin investigations," Nadler wrote. "This new channel to Mr. Giuliani would seem to be a significant departure from those traditional channels."

UNREAL! DOJ Prosecutors Delayed General Flynn Sentencing to Give His Former Attorneys at Covington and Burling Adequate Time to Save Face

Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan on Monday canceled General Flynn's sentencing scheduled for February 27 "until further order of the court."

General Flynn formally asked to withdraw his guilty plea last month and accused federal prosecutors of "egregious government misconduct."

Federal prosecutors then backed down and offered Flynn probation after asking for up to six months prison time.

Flynn's lawyers are still working through withdrawing Flynn's guilty plea because the government asked for an extension to consider Flynn's motion to withdraw his plea.

Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell opposed the extension and argued, "The Department of Justice should agree to the withdrawal of the plea. Accordingly we oppose any further extension of the briefing schedule."

So Judge Sullivan indefinitely postponed Flynn's sentencing hearing.
Now Sara Carter reports the for the delay in sentencing is because the prosecution wants to give his previous defense team from Covington and Burling time to protect its reputation.

Via Sara Carter:

Government prosecutor Joycelyn Ballantine filed an unexpected motion Sunday in the case against Michael Flynn for the express purpose of seeking to protect Flynn's former defense team.

Yes, it's true and in the prosecutor's own words: Government prosecutors said in their filing they want "to make certain and clear that counsel [Covington & Burling] may take the necessary steps to vindicate their public reputation by addressing and defending against the defendant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, and equally to vindicate the integrity of this Court's previous proceedings, the government asks this court to issue the attached proposed order."

Really? Now the US Attorney for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice are in the business of protecting and working to protect the "public reputation" of Covington & Burling-a well-known international law firm based in DC? Do the new United States Attorney Timothy Shea and Attorney General William Barr know that federal prosecutors-who had already identified a serious conflict of interest held by Covington in the Flynn case-are subjecting Flynn to more proceedings now to protect Covington?

A serious conflict of interest-indisputable because it was recognized by both the government and Covington by November 1, 2017-well before Flynn entered a guilty plea or even made a proffer to the prosecutors- is one of the main reasons Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell filed to withdraw his guilty plea several weeks ago. She noted in her filing then that his former lawyers failed to advise him timely, fully or properly of the firm's 'conflict of interest in his case' regarding the Foreign Agents Registration Act form it filed on his behalf, and by doing so "betrayed Mr. Flynn."

DOJ Sought Continuance Of Flynn Case To 'Vindicate' Public Reputation Of His Former Legal Team
By /our girl/ Sara Carter

Government prosecutor Joycelyn Ballantine filed an unexpected motion Sunday in the case against Michael Flynn for the express purpose of seeking to protect Flynn's former defense team.

Yes, it's true and in the prosecutor's own words: Government prosecutors said in their filing they want "to make certain and clear that counsel [Covington & Burling] may take the necessary steps to vindicate their public reputation by addressing and defending against the defendant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, and equally to vindicate the integrity of this Court's previous proceedings, the government asks this court to issue the attached proposed order."

Columbia and the Department of Justice are in the business of protecting and working to protect the "public reputation" of Covington & Burling-a well-known international law firm based in DC? Do the new United States Attorney Timothy Shea and Attorney General William Barr know that federal prosecutors-who had already identified a serious conflict of interest held by Covington in the Flynn case-are subjecting Flynn to more proceedings now to protect Covington?

She noted in her filing then that his former lawyers failed to advise him timely, fully or properly of the firm's 'conflict of interest in his case' regarding the Foreign Agents Registration Act form it filed on his behalf, and by doing so "betrayed Mr. Flynn."

In fact, there was no dispute that Covington had a serious conflict and it was so serious that the government raised it with Covington twice, beginning November 1, 2019, as reported.

U.S. Attorney Scott W. Murray's Statement Regarding Sanctuary Cities

https://www.justice.gov/usao-nh/pr/us-attorney-scott-w-murray-s-statement-regarding-sanctuary-cities

CONCORD- Yesterday, Attorney General William Barr addressed the dangers that sanctuary cities and sanctuary policies pose to the general public. In jurisdictions that have adopted these policies, local law enforcement officers are restrained from working with their federal law enforcement partners. The result is that federal law enforcement officers are hampered in their efforts to locate, arrest, and remove people who are in the United States illegally. This may include individuals who are actively engaged in criminal conduct.

Barr's remarks resonate in New Hampshire, where the opioid crisis has been fueled by foreign drug cartels who exploit our citizens for the sake of making a profit. Their lethal drugs reach our state through a network of traffickers who often employ criminal aliens as dealers to sell drugs in our communities. To shield themselves from arrest, criminal aliens often reside outside of our state, sometimes living in sanctuary cities where they feel safe.

The highest obligation of the government is to protect its citizens, especially from victimization by criminals. This requires coordination on the part of law enforcement at all levels. When local communities adopt sanctuary policies, those policies can jeopardize public safety by preventing the federal government from arresting and prosecuting removable aliens. While reasonable people can debate the merits of various immigration policies, few would contest that those who commit serious criminal offenses while unlawfully inside this country should be prosecuted and then removed from the United States. When a sanctuary jurisdiction refuses to honor an immigration detainer and releases a felon onto the street, all of our citizens are endangered. These policies also endanger the brave law enforcement officers who must try to identify and arrest criminal aliens after they have been released by sanctuary cities.

Here in New Hampshire, we frequently prosecute criminals who are unlawfully in this country, including those who have taken up residency in sanctuary cities in other states. Many of these criminal aliens have distributed fentanyl, heroin and other dangerous drugs, thereby causing great suffering. It is not uncommon to encounter criminal aliens who use fraudulent documents to mask their true identity and immigration status. If these criminals are released before they can be removed from the United States, it can be challenging to locate them again. Enforcing our laws is a complicated and difficult undertaking and sanctuary policies only make it more difficult to protect our citizens.

While New Hampshire has not been in the forefront of the sanctuary movement, it is important to realize that we are negatively impacted by the adoption of these policies in other states. The reality is that criminals can shelter behind sanctuary policies to the detriment of everyone else in society. This is especially true if you are an interstate drug dealer looking for a place to hide while hooking Granite Staters on your deadly product.

Senators: IG FISA Abuse Report Misled Public About Crossfire Hurricane
https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/10/senators-ig-fisa-abuse-report-misled-public-about-crossfire-hurricane/

Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson dropped that bombshell in a letter delivered to Attorney General William Barr that requested Barr declassify the information hidden in the redacted footnotes. While the declassified version of the Grassley-Johnson letter did not identify the four footnotes at issue, a detailed analysis of the IG report suggests the redacted information concerned Christopher Steele's sources and potentially the FBI's purported predication for the launch of Crossfire Hurricane. These conclusions come from a deep-dive into the IG report read in tandem with the Grassley-Johnson letter.

That letter noted that the senators had "reviewed the classified report of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) with regard to the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and [were] deeply concerned about certain information that remains classified." Their concern? "That certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes."

The next sentence is the key, as it establishes that the redacted information concerns not just a few details addressed in the IG report, but goes to the heart of the entire Crossfire Hurricane investigation: "This classified information is significant not only because it contradicts key statements in a section of the report, but also because it provides insight essential for an accurate evaluation of the entire investigation."

Trump administration suing King County to allow deportation flights from Boeing Field

The U.S. Justice Department is suing King County to force it to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation flights to leave from Boeing Field, U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced Monday.
King County announced last year that it would seek to stop ICE-chartered flights from using county-owned Boeing Field to send immigrants to their home countries or to bring others in from around the country for incarceration at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.

Rachel Maddow Says Giuliani And Barr Appear To Be Joining Forces To Dig Up False Dirt On Dems

Rachel Maddow said on Monday night that it's starting to look like Rudy Giuliani and William Barr are joining forces to dig up dirt on Donald Trump's election year political opponents.

The MSNBC host said that Giuliani may be under criminal investigation for his Ukraine dealings, but that hasn't stopped Barr from setting up a "special process to receive information from him" that could "give credence to false claims" about Trump's political opponents.

"Maybe President Trump is going to run for reelection in part by having the Justice Department under William Barr give credence to false claims about his political opponents," Maddow said.

DOJ Confirms Giuliani Providing Evidence In Ukraine Investigation

US Attorney General William Barr acknowledged on Monday that President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has been providing the Department of Justice with information collected during a months-long investigation of Ukraine.

The former New York mayor has been interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence to shed light on what the Bidens were up to during the Obama years, and get to the bottom of claims that Kiev interfered in the 2016 US election in favor of Hillary Clinton.

Barr said that Giuliani's Ukraine findings must be carefully vetted to ensure accuracy and authenticity, according to Bloomberg.

"The DOJ has the obligation to have an open door to anybody
who wishes to provide us information that they think is
relevant," said Barr during a press conference in Washington, adding "We have to be very careful with respect to any
information coming from Ukraine. There are a lot of agendas in the Ukraine, there are a lot of cross-currents and we can't take anything we receive from the Ukraine at face value."

Barr didn't specify what kind of information Giuliani has been providing. Trump's personal lawyer has previously said he has been collecting information about the activities of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in Ukraine. Giuliani's efforts became a central factor in Trump's impeachment for pressuring the Ukrainian government to announce investigations into the Bidens to help his re-election. -Bloomberg

Giuliani has been providing conservative news network OAN with regular exclusive interviews from his travels:

Justice Department receiving information on Bidens from Giuliani: Senator

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department is receiving information on former Vice President Joe Biden and his businessman son, Hunter Biden, from President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, a top Trump ally in the Senate said on Sunday.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said Attorney General William Barr told him about the arrangement on Sunday morning and that Justice Department officials were evaluating Giuliani's information to determine whether it is genuine.

"The Department of Justice is receiving information coming out of the Ukraine from Rudy. He (Barr) told me that they have created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it's verified," Graham told the CBS News program Face the Nation.

Justice Department officials were not immediately available for comment.

News of the arrangement surfaced days after the Senate acquitted Trump on impeachment charges that he abused his power by asking Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.

Trump had based his demands on unfounded allegations of corruption. House investigators alleged that Giuliani pursued damaging information about the Bidens in Ukraine as Trump's personal lawyer.

Hunter Biden sat on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma while Joe Biden, now a Democratic presidential candidate, was vice president.

Two Republican senators - Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson - are also conducting an investigation of U.S. government records to determine whether there was a conflict of interest.

Graham said he spoke to Barr and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr on Sunday, after Giuliani told an interviewer that he had unearthed key evidence from Ukraine.

"They told me: 'Take very cautiously anything coming out of the Ukraine against anybody,'" Graham said.

"Any documents coming out of the Ukraine against any American, Republican or Democrat, need to be looked at by the intelligence services who have expertise - I don't - because Russia is playing us all like a fiddle."

Graham said he would refrain from his own probe of the Bidens and concentrate instead on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court's decision to issue warrants that led to a federal investigation into allegations that Trump's 2016 presidential campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the election.

"Here's what I want to tell the president: I'm not going to be the Republican Christopher Steele," Graham said.

Steele is the former British spy who produced a dossier on Trump that the FBI used in its Russia probe. Republicans have condemned the dossier as a sham document filled with Russian propaganda.

'Bullets, Not Hugs': Mexico Deploys Elite Marines To Fight Drug Cartels In Response To Pressure From Trump Admin

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has deployed Mexico's largely sidelined elite marine force to fight drug cartels, following pressure from the Trump administration to beef up its fight against illicit substances, according to the Wall Street Journal - which notes that the move marks a shift from a "counternarcotics strategy that largely ended the pursuit of high-profile arrests and focused almost exclusively on poverty alleviation."

"We are operating again," said one senior Mexican navy officer, adding "The targets we need to go after have been defined."

The new strategy comes amid growing alarm in Washington that Mexico has failed to control the drug trade - highlighted by the November murder of nine US citizens by suspected cartel hit men. According to preliminary numbers, 2019 murders in Mexico are on track to exceed 2018's record of 36,685, according to the report.

Spearheading the Trump administration's push is US Attorney General William Barr, who has visited Mexico twice to encourage AMLO to bring the marines back to counternarcotics enforcement, as well as beefing up extraditions of suspects who have fled the US while wanted for crimes. In January, Barr urged the Mexican government to target fentanyl labs, as well as crack down on seaports used to deliver precursor chemicals used in the labs.

In exchange for the enhanced crackdown, the US has agreed to step up efforts to prevent guns from being smuggled into Mexico, according to the Journal's sources.

The marines, the Mexican security force that U.S. officials say they trust the most, were behind most high-profile arrests and killings of cartel leaders in the past two decades, including twice capturing drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.

The elite navy force was largely sidelined by Mr. López Obrador soon after he took office in late 2018, part of a strategy by the new government to halt the pursuit of top cartel figures and focus instead on attacking poverty-an approach it dubbed "hugs, not bullets."

Last year, the marines took part in few counternarcotics operations. But in recent weeks, marine units have been involved in a flurry of high-profile arrests, including of the head of a Mexico City cartel and close relatives of two major drug lords. -Wall Street Journal

Mexico-city based security consultant Eduardo Guerrero told the Journal that the "Hugs, not bullets" approach is changing, and that he expects Americans " to take a very proactive role in pushing Mexico to confront the most powerful groups, especially the Sinaloa and the Jalisco New Generation cartels."

Looks like it (vote tallies) all got Computer Fried
Fried=Cooked
Cooked=Rigged
Nobody knows who the real winner is'
Potus tweeted out fried 2x, important point.

1-Trump formed but disbanded the election fraud commission, many states unwilling to cooperate (DS?)
'The Democrats, both on and off the commission, made very clear that they were not interested in determining the scope and extent of voter fraud and, indeed, they were trying to stop the commission in its tracks', Kobach said
2-Assigns DHS to Lead and monitor election security measures (interDepartmental). Potus commissions MIL CyberCommand
The operation marked the first muscle-flexing by U.S. Cyber Command, with intelligence from the National Security Agency, under new authorities it was granted by President Trump and Congress last year to bolster offensive capabilities.
Before the midterms, the United States Cyber Command created a so-called Russia Small Group of American officials to disrupt election influence campaigns
3- Attorney General William Barr, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan, Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, FBI Director Christopher Wray, U.S. Cyber Command Commander and NSA Director Gen. Paul Nakasone, and CISA Director Christopher Krebs today released the following joint statement:
https://www.dhs.gov/news/2019/11/05/joint-statement-doj-dod-dhs-dni-fbi-nsa-and-cisa-ensuring-security-2020-elections
4-DHS stated for 2020 they will use the same working groups as they did in 2018.

So after forming a Commission that Ds would not cooperate with. Potus puts MIL CyberCommand + (NSA) on DHS Election Security Group. 2018 Elections as many recall were going great Early….We held Senate and Ds won house only with 'manual' fraud, recounts and adding new fake ballots (harvesting). It appears though the Cyber Component was in fact safe, and protected. When Ds realized this early, they focused mainly on the West Coast to buy time for manually rigging, they were successful. (remember the fires, shooting too–warnings).

So knowing full well the reporting App would be compromised, the CC+NSA determined the App Servers were frying/cooking/rigging votes at which time they fried their App systems and ensured the rigged votes and the App fraud could not be utilized.

So going forward noone is going to use the App and cyber fraud should be in check, so Ds have manual illegal voting and harvesting, etc. to cheat. You see some positive exposure by JW, etal, and FBI, DHS is finding tons of fake I.D.s and such, and DOJ, DHS is doing what they can with D states lax voter i.d. laws, etc. We however do need something major to combat this en masse.

The whole Iowa debacle did create a backlash for lack of paper trails, so Potus, etal. is in a position to push common sense measure. This is organized stuff the fraud so taking out some key players before Nov. may be part of the plan. Anons have also speculated that there is evidence of Fraud in Broward with the pipe bomb ff?, whereby ballots were forensically marker. Q mentioned paper ballots CoC, how many are printed, etc.

Feds are lining up more indictments related to Chinese cyber-activity, officials say

U.S. prosecutors are preparing to issue new charges against Chinese nationals related to alleged hacking and insider threats at U.S. organizations, senior Department of Justice officials said Thursday.

"Chinese theft by hacking has been prominent," Attorney General William Barr said in a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. "Those actions by China are continuing, and you should expect more indictments and prosecutions in the future."

It is unclear when prosecutors will issue the next indictment related to Chinese activity. Asked when that would happen, John Demers, the assistant attorney general for national security, would only say "soon."

White House dismisses idea of U.S. buying Nokia, Ericsson to challenge Huawei

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Friday and the top White House economic adviser dismissed an unusual suggestion from U.S. Attorney General William Barr that the United States consider taking control of two major foreign rivals of China-based Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. Barr, a former general counsel at Verizon Communications Inc (VZ.N), said on Thursday the United States and its allies should consider taking a "controlling stake" in Finland's Nokia (NOKIA.HE) and Sweden's Ericsson (ERICb.ST) to counter Huawei's dominance in next-generation 5G wireless technology.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow added later on Friday that the United States was working closely with Nokia and Ericsson, saying the companies' equipment was essential to the buildout of 5G infrastructure.

But he said the "U.S. government is not in the business of buying companies, whether they're domestic or foreign," adding that "there's nothing to prohibit American tech companies from acquiring" them.

Pence earlier in the day had suggested an alternative approach when asked by CNBC for his response.

"Great respect to Attorney General Barr, but we believe the best way forward is what Ajit Pai announced just over the last several days," Pence said, referring to the Federal Communications Commission's chairman's efforts to free up more spectrum for 5G wireless use.

"That's the plan the president has endorsed and will be carrying forward," Pence said, adding that the United States can expand 5G "by using the power of the free market and American companies."

The White House, and representatives for Barr and Pai all declined to comment.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Friday declined to endorse an unusual suggestion from U.S. Attorney General William Barr that the United States consider taking control of two major foreign rivals of China-based Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. Barr, a former general counsel at Verizon Communications Inc , said on Thursday the United States and its allies should consider taking a "controlling stake" in Finland's Nokia and Sweden's Ericsson to counter Huawei's dominance in next-generation 5G wireless technology.

"That's the plan the president has endorsed and will be carrying forward," Pence said, adding that the United States can expand 5G "by using the power of the free market and American companies."

A spokeswoman for Barr declined to comment. The White House and a spokesman for Pai did not immediately comment. Shares in Nokia rose 4% and Ericsson shares were up nearly 5% Friday. Both companies declined to comment. Nokia and Ericsson have a combined market capitalization of about $53 billion and it is unclear what source of funds the U.S. government could potentially tap to take stakes in the firms or if foreign regulators would approve.

In a remarkable statement underscoring how far the United States may be willing to go to counter Huawei, Barr on Thursday disclosed proposals "by the United States aligning itself with Nokia and/or Ericsson." Barr said the alignment could take place "through American ownership of a controlling stake, either directly or through a consortium of private American and allied companies." Barr said that "putting our large market and financial muscle behind one or both of these firms would make it a far more formidable competitor and eliminate concerns over its staying power, or their staying power." "We and our closest allies certainly need to be actively considering this approach," he added.

To counter Huawei, U.S. could take 'controlling stake' in Ericsson, Nokia: attorney general

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Thursday the United States and its allies should consider the highly unusual step of taking a "controlling stake" in Finland's Nokia and Sweden's Ericsson to counter China-based Huawei's dominance in next-generation 5G wireless technology. In a remarkable statement underscoring how far the United States may be willing to go to counter Huawei Technologies Co, Barr disclosed in a speech at a conference on Chinese economic espionage that there had been proposals to meet the concerns "by the United States aligning itself with Nokia and/or Ericsson." Barr said the alignment could take place "through American ownership of a controlling stake, either directly or through a consortium of private American and allied companies." "Putting our large market and financial muscle behind one or both of these firms would make it a far more formidable competitor and eliminate concerns over its staying power, or their staying power," Barr said. "We and our closest allies certainly need to be actively considering this approach," he added at the event hosted by Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

Both firms have a combined market capitalization of about $50 billion and it is not clear what source of funds the U.S. government could potentially tap to take stakes in the firms or if foreign regulators would approve. Ericsson declined to comment, while Nokia did not immediately comment. The companies' shares edged higher after Barr's comments in European trading. Last month, a group of six U.S. senators introduced legislation to provide over $1 billion to invest in Western-based alternatives to Chinese equipment providers Huawei and ZTE and accelerate development of an open-architecture to allow for alternative vendors to enter the market for specific network components.

Barr said China had emerged as the "top geo-political adversary" and added: "China has stolen a march and is now leading in 5G … They have already captured 40 percent of the market and are now aggressively pursuing the balance." U.S. government investments in public companies are rare except in the case of bailouts to save ailing firms and jobs, and such investments in foreign companies are even rarer. U.S. officials have criticized Huawei for its close ties to the Chinese government and they added the company to an economic blacklist last year, saying it was involved in activities contrary to U.S. national security. The Trump administration has pressed nations not to grant Huawei access to 5G networks and alleged Huawei's equipment could be used by Beijing for spying, which the Chinese company has repeatedly denied. President Donald Trump signed an executive order last year Barring U.S. companies from using telecommunications equipment made by companies posing a national security risk.

At the same CSIS event, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Beijing was seeking to steal American technology by "any means necessary." He said the bureau currently had about 1,000 open investigations of Chinese technology theft across its 56 regional offices, while FBI counterintelligence chief John Brown said it had arrested 24 people last year in China-related cases and another 19 already in 2020. Wray said the investigations spanned "just about every industry sector" and the threat needed to be addressed through action across the whole of the U.S. government.

China was aggressively exploiting U.S. academic openness to steal technology, using "campus proxies" and establishing "institutes on our campuses," Wray added.

Christopher Wray: FBI working to 'claw back' intelligence gleaned from warrants against Carter Page

FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress the bureau has started to "claw back" information gathered through Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Wray made the comments earlier this week when appearing before the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee during his first congressional testimony in the wake of Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's damning investigation.

Horowitz concluded that the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation was flawed, and he criticized the DOJ and the FBI for 17 " significant errors and omissions" related to secret surveillance court filings targeting Page. The filings relied on salacious and unverified allegations contained within British ex-spy Christopher Steele's dossier. "The failures highlighted in that report are unacceptable - period. They don't reflect who the FBI is as an institution, and they cannot be repeated," Wray testified. "The FBI has embraced every last one of the inspector general's recommendations, but we're also making a number of improvements above and beyond."

Republican lawmakers pushed the FBI director for specifics about what the FBI was doing to figure out how so many things were allowed to go wrong in the Page FISA process, how it would discipline those involved, and how it would ensure that such mistakes didn't happen again. Rep. Doug Collins, a Georgia Republican, asked Wray if he'd looked into whether the FBI followed the so-called "Woods procedures," named for FBI lawyer Michael Woods, who developed the guidelines. According to those guidelines, the DOJ and FBI are supposed to verify the factual accuracy of each assertion in FISA applications. "Did the FBI conduct a Woods review on the Carter Page FISA applications?" Collins said. "I'm not asking for the Horowitz report - I'm asking about this specific issue." Wray responded: "We have done specific reviews of the materials underlying the Carter Page FISA applications, including a number of steps that we've taken lately to, in effect, claw back the information that was collected under those applications."

The FBI declined to elaborate on what the bureau director meant by "clawing back" the FISA information, but the FISA Court revealed in rare public filings that in the wake of Horowitz's report, the DOJ told the FISA Court they believed the final two Page FISA warrants were "invalid" and were still reviewing the first two. The FBI told the court it was working to "sequester" all the information obtained through the Page FISA requests.

"The government further reports that the FBI has agreed 'to sequester all collection the FBI acquired pursuant to the Court's authorizations in the above-listed four docket numbers targeting [Carter] Page," the FISA Court's presiding judge, James Boasberg, wrote. In a rare public order, the FISA Court criticized the FBI's handling of the Page applications as "antithetical to the heightened duty of candor" and demanded an evaluation from the bureau. The FISA Court also ordered a review of all FISA filings handled by Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who deceptively altered a key document about Page in the third renewal process. Clinesmith now is under criminal investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham, a prosecutor from Connecticut who was tasked by Attorney General William Barr with investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia inquiry.

'No concrete proposition' from U.S. to back Huawei rival Ericsson: Swedish minister

Sweden's digital minister stressed Ericsson's (ERICb.ST) importance for jobs and technology in Europe on Friday after a U.S. official suggested the United States buy stakes in the telecoms gear maker or Finland's Nokia (NOKIA.HE) to counter Huawei's dominance in 5G. U.S. Attorney General William Barr said in a speech on Thursday that the United States and its allies should consider the highly unusual step of taking a "controlling stake" in one or both of the Nordic rivals to China-based Huawei.

5G networks are at the center of a dispute over technology between the United States and China as they are expected to host a range of critical functions from driverless vehicles to smart electric grids and military communications, underscoring their importance to national security. The United States has blacklisted Huawei and is in the midst of a worldwide campaign to convince allies to ban the Chinese giant from their 5G networks, alleging its equipment could be used by Beijing for spying - which Huawei denies.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
Barr says no investigations into 2020 candidates, campaigns without his approval

Attorney General William Barr notified federal agents and lawyers Wednesday that they cannot open investigations of presidential candidates, their campaigns, or advisers without his approval.

His directive follows a report by the Justice Department's inspector general that harshly criticized the FBI's investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign. It recommended an evaluation of the kind of sensitive matters that should require high-level approval, particularly those involving politics.

Barr told NBC News in December that "there has to be some basis before we use these very potent powers in our core First Amendment activity." He suggested in January that changes were coming, saying at a news conference that he and FBI Director Chris Wray agreed that opening a counterintelligence investigation of a presidential campaign "would be something that the director of the FBI would have to sign off on and the attorney general would have to sign off on."

Lawmakers Demand Investigation Into Chinese Propaganda Published in NYT, WaPo

DOJ asked to review China Daily ads following Free Beacon report

Lawmakers are calling on the Justice Department to launch a "full-fledged investigation" into China Daily after the Washington Free Beacon found that the propaganda outlet ignored federal law.

China Daily has spent millions to publish state-sanctioned propaganda in top American newspapers without complying with disclosure requirements for foreign agents, prompting Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.), and 33 other members of Congress to demand a probe into the outlet's activities. On Thursday, the group sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking that the Justice Department "promptly review and produce a report on China Daily's compliance" with federal disclosure laws.

"Propaganda that seeks to obfuscate communist atrocities deserves to be counteracted," the letter says. "[The Foreign Agents Registration Act] already arms the federal government with tools to fight pernicious foreign influence. The DOJ should use them to clamp down on Chinese propaganda."

The Free Beacon previously found that China Daily ran hundreds of propaganda articles designed to resemble authentic news reports in the pages of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. The propaganda outlet, which serves as the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, failed to report these ad purchases to the U.S. government for more than 30 years.

Banks compared tensions with China to the Cold War in an email to the Free Beacon. "We convinced the world that democracy was superior to communist authoritarianism. Well, it looks like we have to fight that battle again-this time against a far wealthier and equally determined adversary," he said. "The federal government must use every weapon in its arsenal to ensure the triumph of our values-the consequences of failure are unspeakable."

The letter, signed by eight senators and 27 representatives, is not the first time Congress has pushed the Justice Department to take action against a Chinese state entity for violating FARA requirements. In 2019, the department ordered Chinese propaganda outlets Xinhua News Agency and CGTN America to register as a foreign agent after a bipartisan group of senators demanded an investigation into their activities.

AG Barr Requires FBI to Obtain His Approval Before Investigating 2020 Candidates

Attorney General William Barr has issued a memo requiring the FBI to obtain approval from Barr himself before conducting any investigation into any 2020 presidential election candidate.

"In certain cases, the existence of a federal criminal or counterintelligence investigation, if it becomes known to the public, may have unintended effects on our elections," Barr wrote in the memo, which was obtained by the New York Times. The attorney general went on to emphasize that "we also must be sensitive to safeguarding the departmentâ?™s reputation for fairness, neutrality and nonpartisanship."

The memo establishes certain requirements for the FBI and other agencies under the purview of the Justice Department to meet before opening a "politically sensitive" criminal or counterintelligence investigation against candidates or donors. Barr must personally give approval for investigations into presidential and vice presidential candidates, as well as their respective senior staffs.

The move follows Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on the FBI's obtainment of a FISA warrant against former Trump-campaign adviser Carter Page as part of the agency's investigation into suspected collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian agents. The report detailed various errors and material omissions in the FBI's initial application for a FISA warrant and subsequent renewals.

"We identified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation, based upon information the FBI had in its possession at the time the application was filed," the report read.

The FBI in 2016 carried out investigations pertaining to both presidential candidates. While the Trump campaign was investigated for possible connections to Russia, a claim that the Mueller Report subsequently found to be based on insufficient evidence, the bureau in October 2016 also reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server for classified messages.

Top U.S. officials to spotlight Chinese spy operations, pursuit of American secrets

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An aggressive campaign by American authorities to root out Chinese espionage operations in the United States has snared a growing group of Chinese government officials, business people, and academics pursuing American secrets.

In 2019 alone, public records show U.S. authorities arrested and expelled two Chinese diplomats who allegedly drove onto a military base in Virginia. They also caught and jailed former CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency officials on espionage charges linked to China.

On Thursday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, FBI director Christopher Wray and U.S. counterintelligence chief William Evanina will address a Washington conference on U.S. efforts to counter Chinese "economic malfeasance" involving espionage and the theft of U.S. technological and scientific secrets.

China's efforts to steal unclassified American technology, ranging from military secrets to medical research, have long been thought to be extensive and aggressive, but U.S. officials only launched a broad effort to stop alleged Chinese espionage in the United States in 2018.

"The theft of American trade secrets by China costs our nation anywhere from $300 to $600 billion in a year," Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, said in advance of Thursday's conference.

The Chinese embassy in Washington rejected the U.S. allegation as "entirely baseless."

"The people-to-people exchange between China and the US is conducive to stronger understanding between the two peoples and serves the fundamental interests of our two countries," it said in an emailed statement.

Of 137 publicly reported instances of Chinese-linked espionage against the United States since 2000, 73% took place in the last decade, according to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

The think-tank's data, which excludes cases of intellectual property litigation and attempts to smuggle munitions or controlled technologies, shows that military and commercial technologies are the most common targets for theft.

In the area of medical research, of 180 investigations into misuse of National Institutes of Health funds, diversion of research intellectual property and inappropriate sharing of confidential information, more than 90% of the cases have links to China, according to an NIH spokeswoman.

One main reason Chinese espionage, including extensive hacking in cyberspace, has expanded is that "China depends on Western technology and as licit avenues are closed, they turn to espionage to get access," said James Lewis, a CSIS expert.

In late January alone, federal prosecutors in Boston announced three new criminal cases involving industrial spying or stealing, including charges against a Harvard professor.

Prosecutors said Harvard's Charles Lieber lied to the Pentagon and NIH about his involvement in the Thousand Talents Plan - a Chinese government scheme that offers mainly Chinese scientists working overseas lavish financial incentives to bring their expertise and knowledge back to China. They said he also lied about his affiliation with China's Wuhan University of Technology.

During at least part of the time he was signed up with the Chinese university, Lieber was also a "principal investigator" working on at least six research projects funded by U.S. Defense Department agencies, court documents show.

A lawyer for Lieber did not respond to a request for comment.

US Government Wants to Ban Encryption in the Name of Protecting Children

Social media companies may soon be forced to allow backdoor government access to encrypted information.

In the name of protecting the children, U.S. lawmakers and the Department of Justice want to ban end-to-end encryption, opening Internet users to a host of attacks on their privacy by not only the government but also malicious hackers.

Attorney General William Barr is claiming he wants to protect the children but his former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, protected Jeffrey Epstein-one of the most serial child sex traffickers. And it turns out Barr's own father, Donald Barr, was the headmaster of an elite New York City school that hired college dropout Epstein to teach math and physics.

Last week, Barr expressed at the White House Summit on Human Trafficking that encryption was aiding human traffickers. He said:

"We live in a digital age, and like everyone else, human traffickers are relying increasingly on digital communication and the Internet ... and more and more, the evidence we rely on to detect and to deal with these predators is digital evidence," Barr said. "However, increasingly, this evidence is being encrypted.

We all recognize that encryption is important in the commercial world to protect consumers like us from cybercriminals, but now, we're seeing military-grade encryption being marketed on consumer products like cellphones and social media platforms and messaging services, and that means that we cannot get access to this data.

We just can't have chatrooms and websites that are involved in grooming children victims or selling trafficked women - sites that are impenetrable to law enforcement-and we have to do something about this."

Barr has previously said that technology companies using end-to-end advanced encryption and other security measures are effectively turning devices into "law-free zones."

"As we use encryption to improve cybersecurity, we must ensure that we retain society's ability to gain lawful access to data and communications when needed to respond to criminal activity," Barr said in his keynote address at the International Conference on Cybersecurity at Fordham University Law School in Manhattan.

Justice Department meeting state AG offices Tuesday to discuss Google

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Justice Department officials will meet on Tuesday with representatives of state attorneys general to discuss their investigations of search and advertising giant Google, according to sources familiar with the plans.

The meeting is in the afternoon, according to one source, and will include officials from six or seven states, including Texas, according to a second source familiar with the matter.

The Justice Department and nearly all state attorneys general have opened investigations into allegations that Alphabet's Google has broken antitrust law. The probes focus on search bias, advertising and management of Google's Android operating system.

Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple are all the focus of federal, state and congressional investigations following complaints that the four tech giants abused their clout in dealings with smaller companies.

The probes are being carried out by the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general and the House Judiciary Committee. U.S. Attorney General William Barr has said he would like to see them wrapped up this year.

The companies have come under fire from all parts of the political spectrum, with President Donald Trump critical of the companies and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders calling for the break-up of Amazon and Facebook.

Terrorist Organization Claims Credit For December Attack On Florida Naval Base

An Islamic terrorist organization claimed credit this weekend for the December 6, 2019, terrorist attack on Naval Air Station Pensacola which resulted in the deaths of three U.S. sailors and severe injuries to eight other Americans.
"Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed on Sunday that it directed a Saudi military officer to carry out the shooting," The New York Times reported. "In an audio recording released on Sunday, the leader of the Yemen-based group, Qassim al-Rimi, claimed responsibility for the Dec. 6 attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola, according to SITE, an organization that tracks jihadist media."
The Times noted that the group "produced a copy of his will as well as correspondence that indicated he had been in contact with Al Qaeda. Experts said those elements gave the claim a plausible air."
The development shines new light from a separate report from late last week that indicated that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reportedly killed al-Rimi in a drone strike last month in Yemen.
Bruce Riedel, a scholar at the Brookings Institution and a former C.I.A. officer, told The Times that Al-Qaeda's release of the audio was "a statement that AQAP has infiltrated the Saudi military, which is an emBarrassment for the Saudis."
Colin P. Clarke, a senior fellow at a New York-based research organization, said that Al Qaeda's claim "makes the F.B.I.'s battle with Apple for access to [the terrorist's] phone even that much more critical."
On January 13, Attorney General William Barr announced the findings of the government's findings and declared that the attack on the base was a terrorist attack.
"The evidence shows that the shooter was motivated by jihadist ideology," Barr said. "During the course of the investigation, we learned that the shooter posted a message on social media on Sept. 11 of last year that said: 'the countdown has begun.' Over Thanksgiving weekend, he visited the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. He also posted other anti-American, anti-Israeli, and jihadi messages on social media, and did so two hours before his attack at the naval base."

A new bill could punish web platforms for using end-to-end encryption

A Section 230 change could have an ulterior motive

A new bill would reduce legal protections for apps and websites, potentially jeopardizing online encryption. The draft bill would form a "National Commission on Online Child Exploitation Prevention" to establish rules for finding and removing child exploitation content. If companies don't follow these rules, they could lose some protection under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which largely shields companies from liability over users' posts.

Reports from Bloomberg and The Information say that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is behind the bill, currently dubbed the Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (or EARN IT) Act. It would amend Section 230 to make companies liable for state prosecution and civil lawsuits over child abuse and exploitation-related material, unless they follow the committee's best practices. They wouldn't lose Section 230 protections for other content like defamation and threats.

The bill doesn't lay out specific rules. But the committee - which would be chaired by the Attorney General - is likely to limit how companies encrypt users' data. Large web companies have moved toward end-to-end encryption (which keeps data encrypted for anyone outside a conversation, including the companies themselves) in recent years. Facebook has added end-to-end encryption to apps like Messenger and Whatsapp, for example, and it's reportedly pushing it for other services as well. US Attorney General William Barr has condemned the move, saying it would prevent law enforcement from finding criminals, but Facebook isn't required to comply. Under the EARN IT Act, though, a committee could require Facebook and other companies to add a backdoor for law enforcement.

Riana Pfefferkorn, a member of the Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society, wrote a detailed critique of the draft. She points out that the committee would have little oversight, and the Attorney General could also unilaterally modify the rules. The Justice Department has pushed encryption backdoors for years, citing threats like terrorism, but they haven't gotten legal traction. Now, encryption opponents are riding the coattails of the backlash against big tech platforms and fears about child exploitation online.

Techdirt founder Mike Masnick also notes that Section 230 doesn't cover federal crimes - so the Justice Department could already prosecute companies if they're enabling abuse. This bill would just let it write a new set of rules by threatening much broader liability.

A spokesperson for Graham's Senate Judiciary Committee emphasized to Bloomberg that the bill isn't final. And the Justice Department is taking a closer look at Section 230 next month, holding a public workshop to discuss potential changes.

Trump to appoint White House official to take on human trafficking

President Trump will appoint a White House domestic policy adviser to focus exclusively on reducing human trafficking, according to a top administration official. Trump will sign the order Friday at a two-hour summit on human trafficking at the White House, where White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump is scheduled to speak. Attorney General William Barr, survivors of human trafficking, and representatives of tribal and local governments will be in attendance. During a visit to Atlanta last month, Ivanka Trump said the White House was committed to ending trafficking, which she likened to "modern day slavery."

The position will be created by executive order, and the appointee will coordinate activities between the White House and federal agencies, Domestic Policy Director Joe Grogan said Friday in a call with reporters. Grogan praised Ivanka Trump's work on the issue and said that her office would join the efforts of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, and the State Department, a senior administration official said. A candidate has yet to be publicly identified.

Some prominent anti-trafficking organizations have criticized the summit and said they will not attend, though others have said they will. Refugees International President Eric Schwartz, a former Barack Obama appointee, said in statement that policies pursued by the Trump White House endangered victims of human trafficking by reversing legal protections for them. He cited immigration rules limiting the decreased number of special visas for trafficking victims looking to legalize their immigration status and access services.

Attorney General William Barr compared the leadership styles of President Trump and former President George H.W. Bush, two men he has served as the nation's top law enforcement official.

"I love both," Barr said during an interview with Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York. "H.W. was more low-key. He had a very strong interest in foreign policy, which he really focused his attention on."

Trump, Barr said, has a more open mind when consulting with advisers.

"He'll bring people in to explain things to him," Barr said. "He'll reach down and bring the experts in, and he listens."

Barr, 69, served as attorney general for Bush from 1991 until 1993. Bush died last year at the age of 94.

AG Barr Compares Working With Trump And Bush: 'I Love Both Men,' But Trump 'Listens'

Attorney General William Barr discussed working with former President George W. Bush and President Donald Trump, saying that he loves "both men" and adding that "Trump listens." Barr discussed the differences between Bush and Trump during an interview with Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, and co-host, Father Dave Dwyer, CSP on their show "Conversation with Cardinal Dolan" on SiriusXM's The Catholic Channel. Barr also served as attorney general for Bush.

"They're very different," he explained. "I love both men. H.W., was more low-key. He had a very strong interest in foreign policy in which he really focuses attention on." Barr added that Trump is "very hands on." "He'll bring people in to explain things to them," he said. "He'll reach down and bring the experts in ... and he listens." The attorney general sees Trump several times a week, he told Dolan and Dwyer. "He's very easy to work with. He has a good sense of humor. He's very direct."

Barr explained that what people see of Trump in public is "very much what you see in private." "He doesn't have two different acts that he puts on," Barr added. "He's much more engaged than people give him credit for, and he's a strong leader. He is getting things done. I just sometimes say if he wasn't facing the resistance that he is and the dogged opposition that he faces, you just wonder how much more he could accomplish because he's accomplished a lot in the face of great resistance."

AG Barr: DOJ Will Pursue Anti-Semitic Crimes More Aggressively

NEW YORK-Attorney General William Barr met with a small group of Jewish leaders in Borough Park, Brooklyn, to address the recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks across the New York metropolitan area and how the Department of Justice (DOJ) is combating it.

Barr-who spoke to a group of about two dozen at the Borough Park Jewish Community Council on Jan. 28-pledged to crack down on anti-Semitic crimes at the federal level, as he announced new measures for Jewish residents to report hate crimes. He said the DOJ will pursue antisemitic crimes more aggressively.

"This morning I am putting out a written directive to all U.S. attorneys offices, and it will require each office to initiate, or to reinvigorate if they already have taken this action, their relationship and outreach to the Jewish communities in their district," Barr said.

"As part of this, I want each U.S. attorney's office to provide a point of contact for reporting hate crimes to their respective offices," he added.

Allen Fagin, executive vice president and chief professional officer of the Orthodox Union, was one of those invited to attend the meeting with Barr, which he said lasted roughly an hour and a half.

"Knowing that our government authorities are committed to dealing with these incidents as vigorously and comprehensively as they possibly can is itself an enormously important step and an important message," Fagin told The Epoch Times in a phone call following the meeting.

He said Barr conveyed "loudly and unequivocally" from the highest levels of the administration that anti-Semitism would not be tolerated in the country. Anti-Semitic incidents in New York have continued on into the new year.

"It was important to the community sense of well-being ... and provided an enormous level of comfort, for which there was great gratitude," Fagin added.

House Democrats announced a list of four constitutional law experts who will testify at a Dec. 4 public impeachment hearing, and the panel will include pundits who have criticized the Trump administration and defended the impeachment proceedings. It also includes a witness who has criticized the impeachment investigation.

The Democrats have summoned Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law School professor, to testify in Wednesday's hearing on the constitutional grounds for impeaching the president. Feldman was among the first people to suggest Trump was trying to bribe Ukrainian government officials into investigating his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. Democrats have adopted the term, which Feldman in September said constitutes an impeachable offense.

"What makes Trump's alleged conduct so terrible is not that he froze aid to Ukraine for a policy purpose. What makes Trump's alleged conduct outrageous is the appearance that he was doing it for his own personal benefit," Feldman wrote for Bloomberg Opinion.

Feldman has called for a new special counsel to investigate Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, and he also called on Democrats to make the often secretive impeachment proceedings more accessible to the public.

Stanford Law professor Pamela Karlan, a former Obama administration Justice Department official, is also a witness, Democrats announced Monday.

Two Top GOP Senators Request Barr Declassify Four Footnotes In Horowitz Report, Saying Section Of Report Misled Public

Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee have formerly requested that Attorney General William Barr declassify four footnotes in Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on the FBI's FISA abuse investigation. The letter states that the classified footnotes contradict information in Horowitz's report that appears to have misled the public.

U.S. Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, sent the classified letter Tuesday evening and questioned the contradiction between the footnotes and what was made public by Horowitz's team regarding the bureau's Crossfire Hurricane investigation. However, the Senator's did not disclose what section of the December FISA report contradicts the footnotes in their findings.

Specifically, we are concerned that certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes, letter states.

The Senator's state in their letter to Barr that certain sections of Horowitz's report on the FBI are misleading the public.

Part of the classified letter, which was obtained by SaraACarter.com states:

"We have reviewed the findings of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) with regard to the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and we are deeply concerned about certain information that remains classified," the letter states. "Specifically, we are concerned that certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes. This classified information is significant not only because it contradicts key statements in a section of the report, but also because it provides insight essential for an accurate evaluation of the entire investigation. The American people have a right to know what is contained within these four footnotes and, without that knowledge, they will not have a full picture as to what happened during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation."

Johnson and Grassley's office noted that "for maximum public transparency, the senators wrote a separate unclassified cover letter to describe their request."

'Iran-Linked Lobby Behind Obama Nuclear Deal Is Back in Action

A lobbying group with alleged ties to the Islamic Republic of Iran is exerting its influence in Congress amid heightened U.S.-Iranian tensions over recent deadly episodes, including the American drone killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. In recent weeks the Washington, D.C.-based National Iranian American Council, which played a pivotal backstage role in securing the Obama-era nuclear deal abandoned by President Trump, has worked in public and behind the scenes to shape America's response to the conflict.

On Jan. 7, after Iran fired missiles at U.S. military bases in Iraq, the group issued a statement saying, "Donald Trump owns this 100%." The next day, Jan. 8, it co-hosted a "No War With Iran Strategy Call" that featured presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, along with Reps. Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna, both California Democrats. On Dec. 12, weeks before the crisis was touched off by an Iranian-led attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the lobbying group backed a letter sent to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin by 17 Democratic members of Congress, urging the Trump administration to lift economic sanctions on Iran.

In response to the group's continued influence inside the Beltway, and at a time of alarm about foreign meddling in American politics, three Republican senators - Arkansas' Tom Cotton, Indiana's Mike Braun, and Texas' Ted Cruz - last week sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr "urging the Department of Justice to investigate the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) and its sister organization, NIAC Action, for potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act." According to the senators, the group "purports to improve understanding between American and Iranian people but in reality seems to spread propaganda and lobby on behalf of the Iranian government."

The organization characterized that description as "slanderous," adding in a written statement: "NIAC and NIAC Action are independent American organizations. We do not receive money from any government, are not agents of any government, and take great pride in our transparency." But numerous observers say NIAC's ties to the Islamic Republic of Iran are clear, citing evidence of close communication between the lobbying group's leaders and Iranian officials.

The Deep State Tapestry of Deceit is Beginning to Unravel
By Brian C. Joondeph January 27, 2020

Deep state players in the Obama administration wove an elaborate tapestry of collusion, subterfuge, and electoral chicanery. While better suited for a Robert Ludlum novel, it played out in real time over the past four years.

Stars of the drama include familiar names such as James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, and Andrew McCabe. Supporting actors played an unwitting role, namely Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. The victim was then candidate Donald Trump. Heroes of the saga include Attorney General William Barr, U.S. Attorney John Durham, and a mysterious group simply called Q.

The plot was simple. The Obama administration, in 2016 and before, wanted to preordain the 2016 electoral outcome. What better way to do this than to spy on the rival presidential campaign? Since spying is illegal, a pretense was needed.

That's where the Steele Dossier came in. The DNC, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and top Obama administration officials colluded with multiple foreign governments to fabricate opposition research on the Trump campaign alleging treasonous activities. This allowed the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, and likely others as well.

The Obama administration colluded with foreign governments to influence an election. How ironic that this is exactly what President Trump was impeached for, and why he is a "dictator" and an "existential threat to democracy". Can you say projection?

The FISA court granted a Title 1 FISA warrant against Page, reserved for those accused of being "an agent of a foreign power," one who is "knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence activities." Yet Page was never arrested or indicted for his activities. The reality is that he was a CIA asset "engaged in clandestine intelligence activities" not for Russia, but for America, and this minor bit of information was deliberately omitted from his FISA warrant application and three renewals.

The Barr DOJ has been pulling hard enough on this thread that after four years of FBI deceit and abuse of power, the Trump Russia collusion tapestry is unraveling before our very eyes. Like a game of Jenga, where blocks are slowly pulled out without collapsing the entire structure, the latest DOJ revelation is the "keystone" which held the entire charade together….

Q Research General #10126: Illigitimate Impeachment : Defense Day I Reactions Edition

FBI restricts information obtained from Carter Page FISA surveillance

The FBI has restricted all the evidence obtained through the wiretapping of former Trump campaign staffer Carter Page. Revealed in a Jan. 7 filing by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that was made public on Thursday, the government said the bureau chose to "sequester all collection the FBI acquired pursuant to the Court's authorizations" to grant a warrant and three extensions for the electronic surveillance of Page, a U.S. citizen who was suspected of acting as an agent of Russia but was never charged with any wrongdoing.

The filing, signed off by presiding FISA court Judge James Boasberg, further stated that the "sequester" would remain in place until the completion of a further review of the DOJ inspector general report on the Page FISA warrants and the "outcome of related investigations and any litigation." "The government has not described what steps are involved in such sequestration or when it will be completed," Boasberg wrote. '"It has, however, undertaken to 'provide an update to the court when the FBI completes the sequestration.'"'

Boasberg's filing made headlines on Thursday for showing the Justice Department conceded that there was insufficient evidence to justify the last two of four orders covering the final several months of electronic surveillance of Page during the FBI's counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. The initial order came in October 2016, and the electronic surveillance stretched into the summer of 2017 with a trio of extensions at three-month intervals. It remains unclear whether the Justice Department believes the first two orders targeting Page were similarly flawed. ''Today's unprecedented court filing represents another step on the road to recovery for America's deeply damaged judicial system. I hope that this latest admission of guilt for these civil rights abuses by the Justice Department marks continued progress towards restoring justice and remedying these reputationally ruinous injuries," Page said in a statement.

Another brief filing that quietly popped up on the FISA court website Thursday showed the Justice Department requested a deadline extension for the delivery of information regarding minimization procedures designed to stem the disclosure of information about U.S. citizens under surveillance. Boasberg, who seeks the information so that the FISA court can "assess whether the handling and disposition of the information acquired" comports with FISA provisions, wrote that the government's request was granted, and 'a new deadline has been set for Feb. 5. The original deadline was Jan. 28'.

In December, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report criticizing the DOJ and the FBI for 17 "significant errors and omissions" in its submissions to the FISA court seeking authority to surveil Page and the reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele's salacious and unverified dossier. The watchdog report showed that FBI interviews with Steele's primary source, beginning in January 2017 after the first FISA renewal, "raised significant questions about the reliability of the Steele election reporting."

Following Horowitz's investigation, FBI Director Christopher Wray ordered more than 40 "corrective steps" to address the watchdog's report, including 12 reforms related to the FISA process. In a Jan. 10 response to the court, Wray said he "deeply regrets" the FBI's failures in the Page FISA process and offered a timetable of reforms and training the bureau is undertaking. David Kris, a former Justice Department lawyer picked to advise the FISA court on the reform process, submitted a brief that pushed for improved communications between FBI and DOJ attorneys on FISA matters beyond what the bureau has proposed.

The FISA court also ordered a review of all FISA filings handled by Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who altered a key document about Page in the process to obtain the third warrant renewal. He is now under criminal investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham, a prosecutor from Connecticut who was tasked by Attorney General William Barr with investigating the origins of the Russia inquiry.

U.S. Justice Dept. plans to hold meeting to discuss tech industry liability

The U.S. Justice Department is planning to hold a conference to discuss the future of a federal law which largely exempts online platforms from legal liability for the material their users post, sources familiar with the plans said on Friday. A U.S. government source said the department plans to invite a wide range of interested parties to the conference to examine the future of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, including representatives of industry, Congress, "thought leaders" and officials of President Donald Trump's Cabinet.

The 24-year-old law has been a foundation for many internet companies, enabling Facebook Inc , Google's YouTube, and Twitter Inc to host large amounts of videos, messages and documents while monitoring for offensive language and imagery in only limited fashion.

All three companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr said in a speech last month that the Justice Department was "studying Section 230 and its scope" because "many are concerned that Section 230 immunity has been extended far beyond what Congress originally intended."

Barr said internet companies had absolved themselves of responsibility for policing their platforms, while blocking political speech with impunity. Lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties have called for Congress to change Section 230 in ways that could expose tech companies to more lawsuits or significantly increase their costs.

Some Republicans have expressed concern that Section 230 prevents them from taking action against internet services that remove conservative political content, while a few Democratic leaders have said the law allows the services to escape punishment for harboring misinformation and extremist content. But several legal experts have said amending Section 230 would harm free expression on the internet.

The tech publication The Information reported on Friday that the department was planning to hold what it described as a Section 230 "workshop" in February. But the source familiar with the government's plans said a date for the event has not yet been fixed. Emma Llansó, director of the Free Expression Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology, said the Justice Department is considering holding public panels and private meetings, according to an invitation she received this week.

Several professors across the United States who study laws around speech and expression on the internet were invited to the event, according to five people asked to attend. Two said they had not been given details on the event's timing, participants or format.

The Attorney General Lays the Groundwork to Carry Out His Threat

Last October, Trump signed an executive order directing the attorney general to establish a Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice. As Tom Jackman reported, this is something that both police and civil rights groups have sought for years. Nevertheless, concerns emerged almost immediately. A number of groups that might be expected to be part of the discussion said they had not yet been invited, including the National District Attorneys Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the Major Cities Chiefs Association.

Those who had advocated for such a commission were concerned about "overburdened courts, unsustainable incarceration costs, national security, prisoner reentry, victims' rights, and civil rights and liberties." But the tasks assigned to this commission are completely police-centric.
The challenges to law enforcement associated with mental illness, homelessness, substance abuse, and other social factors that influence crime and strain criminal justice resources;
The recruitment, hiring, training, and retention of law enforcement officers, including in rural and tribal communities;
Refusals by State and local prosecutors to enforce laws or prosecute categories of crimes;
The need to promote public confidence and respect for the law and law enforcement officers; and
The effects of technological innovations on law enforcement and the criminal justice system, including the challenges and opportunities presented by such innovations. On Tuesday, Attorney General William Barr announced the formation of this commission.

The first thing to notice is that there is no one on the commission representing civil rights, public defenders, or community groups. Seven of the members are employees of the Justice Department, including the chair, and all of them were appointed during the Trump administration. For example, David Bowdich became deputy director of the FBI when Andrew McCabe was fired. He then went on to fire Peter Strzok. The rest of the group's members are either law enforcement officers or prosecutors. For those who have publicly identified their party affiliation, all are Republican. For example, former Florida Governor Rick Scott first appointed Robert Gualtieri as interim sheriff of Pinellas County and Ashley Moody replaced Pam Bondi as Florida's Attorney General.

I suspect that this commission will probably be better-managed than the one Trump appointed to study voter fraud. But what the two have in common is that they have been established with an end product in mind. The goal will be to find a rationale to justify conclusions they already have in common. The same attorney general who appointed these commissioners is the one who recently said that communities that don't show enough respect for law enforcement could find themselves without police protection. I don't mean to be too alarmist, but I don't think that William Barr is the kind of man who makes idle threats. It is very possible that this commission could lay the groundwork for him to carry that one out.

High-ranking FBI officials are spilling the beans on a massive cover up involving Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, the State Department and a scheme that steered untold billions of tax dollars to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton associates.

Thomas Paine broke the story on his Patreon show on Tuesday night as well as his new Podcast.

And the Justice Department is implicated too. Not to mention the disturbing implications surrounding the mysterious death of the FBI's top financial crimes investigator who was privy to the details of the scheme while leading the Bureau's investigation of the Clinton Foundation.

Even by Washington D.C. standards, criminal conspiracies do not get any deeper than this newly-minted Clinton-linked scandal. And the stakes here are as large as the corruption.

"We are talking about billions of dollars that were stolen, siphoned, funneled," one top-level federal source said. "Not millions. Billions. It's absolutely massive and other members of the Obama administration are involved."

Attorney General William Barr's Justice Department has been giving Hillary Clinton and other Democratic politicians another free pass. And federal agents are beyond steamed.

"You look at the size of this corruption and realize why Hillary warehoused all her State Dept. emails on a private server and destroyed thousands upon thousands of emails so that no one could get a look at the side deals," Paine said.

Thomas Paine broke the story on his Patreon show on Tuesday night as well as his new Podcast.

Paine said the information continues to pour in about this newly revealed and massive Clinton scheme. He said more stories will be forthcoming, including details of when and how much money was . And who else from the Obama administration is implicated.

Here is an excerpt from the podcast.

So we're finding that deceased top FBI Special Agent Sal Cincinelli (alleged public suicide) was a member of a team that was investigating the Clinton Foundation and had witnessed and investigated the fact that large amounts of money were being moved by Hillary Clinton through the Clinton Foundation, coming in coming out, that trace back to the State Dept. during the time that she was Secretary of State.

This is the first time or the first proof that anybody has that she was actually taking money from public money from the State Dept. while she was Secretary of State and moving it around to her cronies linked to the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton cartel and Cincinelli was part of the FBI who was looking into this.

And incredibly, this has been on the desk of Attorney General William Barr who hasn't done anything with it.

The Justice guys we talked to said that she didn't take millions of dollars.

She took billions of dollars.

And she spread it around to her cronies and shell companies, shell corporations, dummy companies and then they kicked money back to the Clinton Foundation and they may have even kicked money back into offshore accounts belonging to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

This puts their hands right into the cookie jar the US Treasury taking and diverting tax monies for profit. That's theft. That's fraud. Why aren't these people in shackles?

Who is running the Justice Department?

The Clinton's.

And you may wonder why the establishment in D.C. impeached Trump and want to remove him before the entire lid blows off of the Swamp.

Baker, did you ever get a full article cap from Q post? If not, here is the full article:

By Byron Tau
Updated Jan. 23, 2020 4:27 pm ET

WASHINGTON-The Justice Department now believes it should have discontinued its secret surveillance of one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page far earlier than it did, according to a new court filing unsealed Thursday.

The Justice Department made that determination in a December letter to the secret court that oversees surveillance of suspected foreign spies, acknowledging it may have lacked probable cause to continue wiretapping in the last two of the four surveillance applications it sought against Mr. Page.

The government began the surveillance in late 2016, after he left the Trump campaign, and continued monitoring him until late 2017-ultimately obtaining a warrant and three subsequent renewals. The last two applications were submitted in April and June of 2017. It now has concluded there was "insufficient predication to establish probable cause" in the last two renewals, which authorized about six months of surveillance on the former adviser.

Probable cause is the legal standard to obtain a secret warrant against suspected agents of a foreign power from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the secret judicial panel that approves such warrants.

Probable cause is the legal standard to obtain a secret warrant against suspected agents of a foreign power.

The Justice Department letter is classified, but is referenced in a new order declassified by the judge that heads the FISA court, James Boasberg, on Thursday. The Justice Department said it would sequester all the material it collected against Mr. Page pending further internal review of the matter.

The Justice Department declined to comment.

Judge Boasberg ordered the government to explain further the specific steps it intended to take in response to its belief that some of the surveillance collected against Mr. Page lacked a legal basis. The order was issued Jan. 7, but wasn't declassified until Thursday.

The Justice Department's acknowledgment is an unusual retreat in a major investigation that has been under scrutiny for nearly three years. The determination also is sure to fuel the debate over a government investigation into the Trump presidential campaign during the 2016 election.

The letter refers to a Federal Bureau of Investigation counterintelligence investigation into links between people associated with the Trump campaign and Russia. A critical internal watchdog report determined that the FBI had the proper basis to open the investigation, though the bureau made many mistakes along the way. But the department's belated conclusion that it lacked the legal grounds to surveil Mr. Page is an acknowledgment that a major component of that investigation wasn't on firm legal ground for part of the probe's duration.

The revelation also comes as lawmakers in both parties are beginning to weigh changes to elements of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ahead of a March expiration of some surveillance authorities. That statue lays out the process for obtaining permission for monitoring.

Attorney General William Barr also announced new rules last week requiring top-level approval for investigations involving presidential campaigns.

William Barr 'Doing A Hatchet Job' On U.S. Intelligence Agencies, Asked British For Help, U.K. Official Says

Attorney General William Barr recently presented British intelligence FVEY officials with a "wish list" of information requests that left the officials "astonished."
Barr has been reaching out to several foreign governments for information that could aid in his investigation. According to a report by Britain's Independent newspaper, however, the information Barr has requested is "like nothing we have come across before," per one British official with knowledge of the attorney general's requests.

"They are basically asking, in quite robust terms, for help in doing a hatchet job on their own intelligence services," the British official told The Independent.

The belief that Russia was somehow framed by Ukraine and Clinton derives from an online conspiracy theory that originated on the extremist message board 4Chan, researchers have found. Donald Trump has also been accused of subscribing to the same conspiracy theory.
<(kek)
Barr's investigation has targeted the FBI, as well as other U.S. intelligence agencies, according to The Independent. His investigation into the 2016 election last week was redesignated as a criminal probe, meaning that Barr now has the power to issue subpoenas and bring charges against individuals in the U.S. intelligence agencies and FBI.

In September, Barr also traveled to Italy Non FVEY to meet with Italian police and government officials. In Italy, he reportedly listened to a tape of Joseph Mifsud - the mysterious academic who told a Trump campaign adviser in April 2016 that the Russian government possessed "dirt" on Clinton, in the form of "thousands" of emails.
On the recording allegedly heard by Barr, Mifsud reportedly expressed his fear that unidentified people are trying to harm him. The professor then asked the Italian police for protection. But Mifsud disappeared in November 2017, shortly after the recorded meeting with the country's law enforcement authorities.

People close to Robert Mueller believe "something happened" to the former special counsel over the course of his two-year Russia investigation, according to a reporter.

The Washington Post's Carol Leonnig, who is the co-author of the new book A Very Stable Genius about President Trump, described on Tuesday how difficult it was for some of Mueller's close family friends to watch his shaky testimony before Congress last summer.
"Phil [Rucker] and I, my co-author, we are not medical professionals, but over and over again, John, we heard from people who are very close to Bob Mueller who found him a different person, a changed person, after two years of this investigation," Leonnig told CNN host John Berman.
"They don't know what that's about," Leonnig continued. "Some of them do and haven't shared that with us. But they know that something happened. He's a different person. He was stumbling over his words. You saw him in July in his testimony before Congress, there were people that I spoke to who are very, very good family friends of his who said, 'I couldn't watch the television anymore, I had to turn it off. It wasn't the Bob I knew.'"
After a 22-month investigation, Mueller's team did not find sufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy took place between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. He also declined to make a determination about whether Trump may have obstructed justice but did lay out 10 instances of possible obstruction that Democrats viewed as a road map to continue investigating and possibly seek impeachment. Trump is now facing two articles of impeachment stemming from his dealings with Ukraine.
Speculation about Mueller's health began to swirl when the former FBI director, known for being sharp and competent, appeared to have difficulty hearing lawmakers' questions and failed to recall key facts from his report when he testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees in July.
In their book, Leonnig and Rucker wrote that when Attorney General William Barr met Mueller before his report was released, Mueller read from his notes, and his "hands shook as he held the paper. His voice was shaky, too." Barr and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, "couldn't help but worry about Mueller's health."
The Washington Post reported in July that Mueller's team denied rumors that the then-74-year-old's cognitive acuity was wavering, prompting Democrats to compel him to appear publicly. His resulting performance had some Democrats privately questioning whether Mueller was all there mentally.

Trump Admin Revives Influential Criminal Justice Commission

Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday announced the formation of a presidential commission on criminal justice, revitalizing a body that in the 1960s fundamentally altered the American criminal justice system.

The new members of the Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice took their oath of office, administered by Barr, Wednesday morning, and immediately set to work on their agenda for the coming months. Barr's remarks linked their work to the last such commission, which was organized by President Lyndon Johnson.

"President Trump is an unwavering supporter of our men and women in blue, and he recognized that this commission is much needed to support law enforcement," Barr said. "It is, to be sure, long overdue. The last time there was a national commission on law enforcement was in 1965."

Barr's allusion to the Johnson crime commission sets the stage for a comprehensive reassessment of the criminal justice system. The new commission's work will likely highlight how the challenges of criminal justice have changed radically over the past half century.

The new commission is a diverse group of law enforcement officers, litigators, and stakeholders from local, state, and federal jurisdictions. It will be chaired by Phil Keith, who currently serves as the director of the Community Oriented Policing Services office within the Justice Department. Other board members include local sheriffs and police chiefs, U.S. attorneys, the Florida attorney general, and the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

This group, Barr said Wednesday, will discuss key issues facing law enforcement in the 21st century. These include the challenges of mental illness; improving officer recruitment, training, and retention; understanding the rise of mental health problems among police officers; the challenges of new technologies; the causes and effects of "diminished respect" toward police officers; and the better incorporation of social services organizations into the policing process.

The push to establish a new commission on crime has commanded bipartisan backing. Senators Gary Peters (D., Mich.), Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), and John Cornyn (R., Tex.) introduced legislation to establish a commission modeled on the one from 1965. President Donald Trump issued an executive order in October that formally established the commission Barr swore in Wednesday.

Cornyn cheered Wednesday's news as a step in the right direction for American criminal justice.

EXCLUSIVE: Top FBI Agent Died After Uncovering Hillary Clinton Funneled Billions of Tax Dollars from State Dept. to Clinton Foundation and Cronies
January 22, 2020

High-ranking FBI officials are spilling the beans on a massive cover up involving Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, the State Department and a scheme that steered untold billions of tax dollars to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton associates.

Thomas Paine broke the story on his Patreon show on Tuesday night as well as his new Podcast.

And the Justice Department is implicated too. Not to mention the disturbing implications surrounding the mysterious death of the FBI's top financial crimes investigator who was privy to the details of the scheme while leading the Bureau's investigation of the Clinton Foundation.

Even by Washington D.C. standards, criminal conspiracies do not get any deeper than this newly-minted Clinton-linked scandal. And the stakes here are as large as the corruption.

Billions of dollars in tax monies swiped from the U.S. Treasury while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and funneled to shell companies and associates who kicked back untold hordes of cash to the Clinton Foundation and in essence: to the Clinton's themselves.

"We are talking about billions of dollars that were stolen, siphoned, funneled," one top-level federal source said. "Not millions. Billions. It's absolutely massive and other members of the Obama administration are involved."

Attorney General William Barr's Justice Department has been giving Hillary Clinton and other Democratic politicians another free pass. And federal agents are beyond steamed.

"You look at the size of this corruption and realize why Hillary warehoused all her State Dept. emails on a private server and destroyed thousands upon thousands of emails so that no one could get a look at the side deals," Paine said.

Some critics, Berman said, believe Mueller just was not up to grappling with the "modern era of political warfare and may have got gamed out by the presidency." "Many of our sources felt very strongly that Bob Mueller was playing a 1950s Boy Scout game," Leonnig said. "He was being an honorable icon and standard-bearer of the Department of Justice, whereas Bill Barr was playing in Trump's 2000s, and he was messaging this very well.

John Durham Criminal Probe Gathers Steam Investigating Post Election Docs

Department of Justice appointed federal prosecutor John Durham's expanded criminal probe into the FBI's investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign is focusing on a slew of government documents that surfaced during the first several months of Trump's presidency. The documents, which are being kept close hold, were hinted at by Attorney General William Barr in an interview he did with NBC in December and reported on by CBS News Friday. On Friday, Catherine Herridge senior national security reporter with CBS first reported that a 'strong paper trail' of documents is being reviewed by Durham. Those documents span a time period from January, 2017 until May 2017, just before the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

However, Barr has already suggested at the expansive nature of Durham's probe in December and hinted at the discoveries. And in October, 2019 reports revealed that Durham had expanded the scope of his investigation and would investigate not only the origin of the bureau probe into Trump's campaign but also the post-election timeline. Barr said in an interview with NBC in December, that Durham "should spend just as much attention on the post-election period" noting that the probe will not just focus on the origins of the investigation. Barr said he asked Durham to look at the post Trump election because "of some of the stuff that Horowitz has uncovered which to me is inexplicable."

New Documents As Durham's Criminal Probe Continues Department of Justice spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told SaraACarter.com she could not comment on Durham's ongoing investigation. She gave no indication as to when, or if, a report will be issued on his criminal probe. Barr, who has been given full declassification authority by Trump, eluded in an interview that Durham may finish his probe by Spring or early this summer. According to sources, the documents already uncovered by Horowitz and the alleged new documents discovered by Durham are significant. Those documents will expose the intent of those involved in the malfeasance at the FBI and the continued operation to spy on Carter Page, a short term Trump campaign volunteer. Further, Durham's probe is focused on actions of former senior Obama Administration officials that targeted Trump and his team, according to numerous former and current government sources that spoke to SaraACarter.com. Those being looked into by Durham are former CIA Director John Brennan, fired FBI Director James Comey, fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, among others. Durham's team has already interviewed numerous personnel at the CIA and according to sources "those questioned are very nervous about the direction of Durham's investigation."

Durham is looking into the Intelligence Community Assessment on Russia, in which Brennan has stated that the CIA did not use former MI6 spy Christoper Steele's debunked dossier. Horowitz discovered during his office's investigation of the FBI FISA review that the uncorroborated dossier was used in obtaining the warrant to spy on Page. Horowitz's explosive report also revealed that significant information on Page was omitted from the report and that other information was altered by FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith. Page had actually assisted the CIA in reporting on Russia - a significant fact that was omitted and changed in the application that was submitted to the secret court.

Indictments Coming? Obama & Hillary Look Like They Are Finally Going to Get Dragged into Barr & Durham's Investigation

Those of us who actually believe in the Constitution and the rule of law are awaiting U.S. Attorney John Durham's factual findings and grand jury indictments detailing and holding accountable those responsible for the gross abuse of surveillance laws on American citizens by Obama's intelligence community.

In the meantime, it would serve us well to ignore the narrative engineers within the mainstream media, specifically from the New York Times (FBI) and the Washington Post (CIA) mouthpieces, who are working to lessen the impact of what is expected to be explosive revelations of political espionage arising from Durham's work.

And, if Durham is able to secure indictments against a slew of high-ranking Obama-era intelligence officials within the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and State Department this may be the breaking of the dam that will engulf many other scandals of his administration.

These may include, but not be limited to, Uranium One, Skolkovo, Iran nuclearization, and collusion with the then corrupt Ukrainian government to help Hillary win the 2016 election.

This is the most likely reason for the rush to impeach President Trump on previously two unheard of charges and without citing so much as a single crime committed by the president.

Afterall, headlines are the most effective tool for influencing the most willfully ignorant amongst us.

Lest we succumb to the same media narratives, we should remember the statements of U.S. Attorney John Durham and U.S. Attorney General William Barr immediately after Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his report outlining FISA abuse on December 9th.

If either Durham or Barr planned on committing another cover up, their statements would not have been as contradictory. Or, they could have avoided commenting altogether.

...we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened."

This is the crux of the entire spygate hoax investigation. On April 10th, 2019 AG Barr, while providing Congressional testimony, said:

"I think spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur.

"The question is whether it was adequately predicated. I'm not suggesting it wasn't adequately predicated, but I need to explore that.

"I think it is my obligation."

Based on the evidence collected to date... we do not agree with some of the report's conclusion as to predication and how the FBI case was opened."

Eight months later, following the release of Horowitz's last report, Barr was more convinced than ever that the FBI had manufacture evidence to spy, first on candidate Trump and then on President Trump.

Sen. Ron Wyden warns FBI against giving GOP records from ex-DNC consultant

Wyden warned that complying with the records request related to Alexandra Chalupa, who is alleged to have sought dirt from Ukraine to undermine then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 election, would have dangerous consequences. As Chalupa conducted research on Paul Manafort, who did lobbying work for a pro-Russia Ukrainian oligarchs and later became Trump's campaign manager, the Ukrainian American activist began receiving notifications from Yahoo security that claimed she was the victim of a "state-sponsored" cyberattack.

"The Senators' request will have a chilling effect on the victims of nation state cyberattacks, and would discourage them from seeking law enforcement assistance, thereby jeopardizing our national security, limiting our ability to respond to sophisticated cyberattacks, and undermining the civil liberties of American citizens," Wyden wrote in a letter to Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday.

Democratic senator asks DOJ and FBI to not cooperate with colleagues' Ukraine-Chalupa probe

'The FBI is not a political weapon'

The top Democrat on an important Senate committee is asking that the Trump administration not cooperate with an investigation into a Ukraine-related investigation being conducted by two of his Republican colleagues.

In a letter first reported by The Daily Beast on Thursday, Senate Finance Committee ranking member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) urged Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray not to comply with a November request from Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) for information about Alexandra Chalupa, the former Democratic National Committee contractor who has been accused of working with Ukrainian officials to dig up dirt on the 2016 Trump campaign.

The request that Wyden is referring to was sent to the DOJ and FBI in November and was part of Grassley's and Johnson's committees' "ongoing investigation into collusive actions Chalupa and the DNC took to use foreign government sources to undermine the Trump campaign during the 2016 election." Grassley chairs the Senate Finance Committee while Johnson heads up the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.

In the November letter, the two chairmen cited a Russian cyberattack that Chalupa reportedly experienced while working for the DNC during the 2016 campaign and subsequently reported to the feds. The letter contends that the attack happened while Chalupa was "reportedly trying to find dirt" on then-candidate Donald Trump and former campaign manager Paul Manafort "in order to undermine his presidential campaign" and in turn, asks for "all records relating to the DOJ's or FBI's interview of Chalupa" as well as "all records relating to the imaging of Chalupa's laptop and smartphone."

But Wyden wrote Thursday that the request was "outrageous" and warned that it would have negative consequences for national security and civil liberties, if fulfilled.

"The Senators' request will have a chilling effect on the victims of nation-state cyber-attacks and would discourage them from seeking law enforcement assistance, thereby jeopardizing our national security, limiting our ability to respond to sophisticated cyber-attacks, and undermining the civil liberties of American citizens," Wyden wrote.

Wyden also accused his two Republican colleagues of trying to "enlist the FBI and Department of Justice in their efforts to legitimize Russian propaganda" via their Ukraine probe.

"The FBI is not a political weapon and should be pressured into violating a citizen's civil liberties for political gain," he added.

In a statement to The Daily Beast, a Grassley staffer said, "Wyden's letter conflates Russian propaganda efforts with unrelated reports of potential election interference that have yet to be fully investigated. … It's disappointing that Sen. Wyden has decided to ignore legitimate questions about election security and instead regurgitate misleading liberal talking points to quash scrutiny of reported election tampering by a Democratic political operative."

6. Parnas claims that he conveyed a threat to Ukrainian official Sergei Shaffer. Parnas said that he told Shaffer, an aide to President Volodymyr Zelesnky, that all U.S. aid was at risk unless Ukraine announced an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden. The claim contrasts with claims by President Zelensky himself, who has said numerous times that he felt no pressure from the United States whatsoever, and that there was never any "quid pro quo" tied to U.S. assistance.
7. Parnas claims that Vice President Mike Pence stayed away from Zelensky's inauguration to apply pressure. Pence flatly denied that on Wednesday. In addition, testimony by Pence aide Jennifer Williams suggested scheduling conflicts were an issue. (She also said she had heard Trump told Pence not to attend, but did not know why.) Parnas also said Trump did not cancel a Poland trip because of a hurricane - a dubious claim, given the political importance of hurricanes in the U.S.
8. Parnas actually shut down Maddow's claims about "menacing" text messages about former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. Democrats accused a former Republican congressional candidate, a man named Robert Hyde, of conducting mob-style surveillance on Yovanovitch. But Parnas said he never took Hyde's texts seriously because he was "a weird character," and "he was always drunk," starting at 6:00 in the morning. "I've never seen him not drunk."
9. Parnas claims Attorney General William Barr was "on the team" in Ukraine. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) referred to that claim in her press briefing Wednesday morning, saying Barr was "implicated." But Parnas said he never spoke to Barr, and did not know whether Barr had ever spoken to any Ukrainian officials. President Trump had told Zelensky that Barr would work with him - which would be entirely legal, but which supposedly never happened anyway.
10. Maddow never asked Parnas about CNN's claim about Devin Nunes going to Vienna. Recently, House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) sued CNN for defamation for claiming he had gone to Vienna to meet with a former Ukrainian prosecutor. Parnas was allegedly CNN's source, the lawsuit states. (Nunes says that he was in Benghazi, Libya at the time.) Maddow asked about Nunes, but not about that; Parnas said he did not know Nunes too well.

Barr & DOJ Covering Up Massive NEW Hillary Clinton Scandal That Will Rock D.C.

The Justice Department has been giving Hillary Clinton another free pass and this round it is on the alleged watch of U.S. Attorney General William Barr.

Thomas Paine broke the story on his Patreon show on Tuesday night as well as his new Podcast.

Paine said Barr is allowing Clinton to get away with another scheme, this one very large involving the Clinton Foundation and U.S. tax money. This comes on the heels of Barr allowing Saudi trainees linked to the murders of three Navy sailors at a Naval base in Florida to walk away from the deadly shootings.

Paine said Barr will not prosecute Clinton and her cartel members involved in the new massive scheme, which will soon be detailed in True Pundit.

FBI officials recently fired or 'retired' may also be using knowledge of the covered-up Clinton scheme as leverage to stay out of prison, Paine said.

Here is an excerpt from the podcast.

"These Saudi 'soldiers" (in Florida) have porn child porn on their computers and number them are basically terrorists radicalized.

Muslim terrorists and Barr says, you know, I think we'll just ask them to leave the country.

This guy is like a dope.

He's actually probably worse than Sessions. I think when the final analysis is over. This guy is a cover-up artist and worse than Sessions. I think that's what's going to shake out. I'm probably way ahead of the curve again, but I think that's probably what's going to happen.

Hey if I'm wrong, I'll apologize, but I haven't had to apologize that much in three years now.

And the reason I could say that with some definitive confidences because I know everything that's going on behind the scenes that they haven't done and they haven't prosecuted this Saudi trainee thing is just like the latest ... that's like a speed bump compared to the other stuff that these guys are are letting the Elites in DC get away with.

It's really maddening.

And I will be honest with you. I probably should have done a podcast yesterday because I think it's like a week. I was so mad yesterday. You think this is bad? Like my opening five minutes is bad? I probably would have been tossed off of here yesterday. I was so mad the whole day even the guys I work with the like, you know, what's the matter with you? Why are you so mad because I'll tell you why I'm mad because I get calls from Justice guys. And from Intel guys and the stuff keeps getting worse.

Worse and worse

And a lot of that stuff will be coming out on True Pundit in the next weeks in the next months ... it's so bad folks.

I'll tell you it just it brings you to your knees as a patriot to to see what is going on with this country ...

These people are crazy and dangerous and selling you out.

By the hour not by the day or by the week now. It's by the hour."

This story is developing.

JAN CRAWFORD: Um, what's the status of Huber's investigation in Utah? I think the former Attorney General Sessions had asked him to look at this.
William Barr: Right, so Huber had originally been asked to take a look at the FISA applications and the electronic surveillance but then he stood back and put that on hold while the Office of Inspector General was conducting its review, which would've been normal for the department. And he was essentially on standby in case Mr. Horowitz referred a matter to him to be handled criminally. So he has not been active on this front in recent months and so Durham is taking over that role. The other issues he's been working on relate to Hillary Clinton. Those are winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition.
JAN CRAWFORD: So he won't be involved in this really at all then?
William Barr: No.

DoD to Announce New Base Security Measures Worldwide in Wake of Pensacola Shooting

Defense Secretary Mark Esper will head to Naval Air Station Pensacola next week to meet with base leadership and the first responders who provided aid in the wake of a deadly mass shooting last month, Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said Thursday.

While there, Hoffman said, Esper will provide air station leadership with a preview of new security measures being developed to prevent future incidents – measures that include physical installation security improvements as well as the enhanced vetting protocols that have been previously announced.

"[Esper] will announce these new measures shortly, which will include physical security procedures as well," Hoffman said.

On Dec. 6, a Saudi junior officer in training at the base opened fire in a classroom building, killing three service members and injuring eight other people before being killed by sheriff's deputies who responded to the scene.

A federal probe concluded that the shooting was an act of terrorism and that the shooter "was motivated by jihadist ideology." This week, U.S. Attorney General William Barr said a follow-up investigation into foreign military students resulted in the return of 21 other Saudi students to their home country. The majority of these students, he said, had pro-jihadist or anti-American materials in their possession; many also were found to have had contact with child pornography.

Hoffman noted that more than one million students had participated in the foreign military training program in its two decades of existence, and Pensacola was the first security breach of its kind.

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest participants in the program, he added.

He reiterated that the Defense Department is now looking to augment the vetting procedures that take place prior to students arriving at U.S. bases, co-located with American troops.

"Previous vetting had been handled by the home country … as well as the Department of Homeland Security and State Department," he said. "We've taken a look at that as far as how we can use our resources to do enhanced vetting."

While classroom instruction is ongoing for international students, Hoffman indicated that an operational training pause for Saudi students, implemented in early December, remains in place.

"That's an announcement we will likely have in the coming days," he said. "Over the holidays … the training schedule was a little bit different. We look forward to turning that back on in the coming days."

'Economic espionage': Special DOJ unit cracks down on China's illicit activities

By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Wednesday, January 8, 2020
The Justice Department's special China unit is aggressively prosecuting technology theft and other illicit activities by Beijing's spies and government officials, a senior department official said in an interview.

China was implicated in more than 80% of all economic espionage cases brought by the Justice Department since 2012, and more than 60% of all trade secrets theft cases were linked to Beijing's aggressive spying and acquisition programs, U.S. officials said.

Those activities involve traditional human and cyber intelligence gathering operations as well as what officials term "nontraditional" spying: the use of students, business people and other nonprofessional collectors of intelligence.

"It's an objective fact that the number of economic espionage investigations has increased dramatically in recent years," Adam Hickey, deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's national security division, told The Washington Times.

"That could be a function of us seeing more or the private sector reporting more. It also could suggest that China is doing more," said Mr. Hickey, a key official in a program called the China Initiative.

China's efforts also involve purchases of American companies, a noncriminal matter but one involving Justice Department officials who are part of the Treasury Department-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. Congress has passed reform measures strengthening regulatory procedures used to control Chinese investments that could harm national security.

At the Federal Communications Commission, Justice Department officials help counter Chinese electronic spying in the United States through a group called Team Telecom.

Attorney General William Barr recently backed the FCC decision announced in November to ban the use of telecommunications gear in the United States made by Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies over electronic spying concerns.

I am an American that believes in - taking care of oneself in order to make a difference in others' lives; being committed beyond convenience; and the U.S. Constitution

Like many of my fellow anons, I have been on the Q board from the very beginning (around Nov 1, 2017). The search terms that led me to Q were GITMO, treason, and military tribunal(s).

We have been winning in many, many ways. My confidence ebbs and flows regarding mine and most everyone's top issue -JUSTICE/HIGH LEVEL ARRESTS (neck-stretching, firing squad, and lethal injection-style justice).

Men, women, children, and infants are getting abused, raped, trafficked/transacted, and/or murdered by illegal pieces of vermin and being released without bail every god damn mother-fucking hour of the day and the mother-fucking night.

Analog & digital - documents and video being leaked, destroyed and/or withheld by Federal, State, County, and Municipal employees. These same "employees" directly denying folks of their right to - free speech, bear arms, due process, and privacy are FACTS which are beyond staggering.

Armed with the Constitution and the Federal Judiciary - AG William Barr and his staff should be shooting fish in a Barrel "25/8/366" or at least "24 hours/7 daze a week/365 days a year" plus mother-fuckin' Leap Day. Until a MAJOR criminal is executed, AG William Barr is suspect. His true history is pretty shady and quite shitty. William Barr, the department of Justice and the FBI is HIS responsibility. He had better get this extremely right, WITHOUT ANY FUCKERY or he will get to be held responsible. Period.. He is the top law official of the land and is running out of TIME.

The central bankers and their USA Corporation should be jailed and their "company" bankrupted without another single penny of "repayment".

The PLUG should be pulled on Silicon Valley censors. NOT the other way around. Folks should be polite, courteous, and patient, however, when there is an EMERGENCY - politically correct behavior should be slapped aside. Clear, plain, effective, and authentic communication will win the moment.

The tyranny, disrespect, and disdain some folks have shown toward The President Of The United States Of America - Donald J. Trump, Julian Assange, General Flynn, Jack Flynn, Roger Stone and countless others pisses the fuck out of me (and I don't like to waste/lose any amount of fuck). In addition to monetary damages awarded for libel/slander, mass amounts of "traitors/"journalists" should imprisoned - just like President Lincoln did.

"People" from "families" such as the Rockefellers, The Royal UK, Bush/Scher(f), Clinton, Soros, Pelosi, Kerry, Feinstein, Schumer, Schiff, PedoWood, Vatican, plus hundreds of other organizations/families and 10's of thousands of other individuals should be rounded up under martial law and caged in towns squares on perpetual tour to be given "feedback".

Apple says it passed FBI 'many gigabytes' of data in Pensacola shooter probe, disputes AG's claim of 'no substantial help'

Apple has hit back after US Attorney General William Barr accused the company of offering no assistance in unlocking devices linked to the Pensacola shooter, insisting that it handed the FBI large troves of data for its probe.

Barr told reporters on Monday that Apple had not "given any substantive assistance" to law enforcement agencies looking to crack into a pair of smartphones owned by the shooter - who left 4 people dead on a Florida naval base in December - but the company directly countered the AG in a statement.

"We reject the characterization that Apple has not provided substantive assistance in the Pensacola investigation," the tech giant said, adding that it had responded to the FBI's requests for help "promptly, often within hours."

The queries resulted in many gigabytes of information that we turned over to investigators. In every instance, we responded with all of the information that we had.

Apple previously went head-to-head with the FBI in lengthy legal battle over a similar phone-cracking case related to the 2016 terror attack in San Bernardino, in which the company refused to provide the bureau a 'backdoor' into one of the attacker's phones.

Though Apple still maintains "there is no such thing as a backdoor just for the good guys," the company has become more willing to engage with law enforcers in recent years, announcing in 2018 that it would create a special police "portal" allowing officers to request data.

Despite its attitude on encryption, the company's devices have also been found to contain inadvertent 'backdoors' of a sort, with fears of spying triggered last year after a curious microphone glitch popped up, allowing callers to hear recipients speak before they answered the phone. Last August, it was also revealed that company contractors were granted access to customers' private conversations through Siri, the AI assistant program, a practice Apple says it has since ended.

The company turned heads more recently when it confirmed that it scans all images stored in its cloud service for evidence of "child abuse," prompting some critics to slam the company for violating user privacy.

When I read article title- Ephesians jumped out at me.

William Barr, Trump's Sword and Shield
The Attorney General's mission to maximize executive power and protect the Presidency.

Last October, Attorney General William Barr appeared at Notre Dame Law School to make a case for ideological warfare. Before an assembly of students and faculty, Barr claimed that the "organized destruction" of religion was under way in the United States. "Secularists, and their allies among the 'progressives,' have marshalled all the force of mass communications, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values," he said. Barr, a conservative Catholic, blamed the spread of "secularism and moral relativism" for a rise in "virtually every measure of social pathology"-from the "wreckage of the family" to "record levels of depression and mental illness, dispirited young people, soaring suicide rates, increasing numbers of angry and alienated young males, an increase in senseless violence, and a deadly drug epidemic."
The speech was less a staid legal lecture than a catalogue of grievances accumulated since the Reagan era, when Barr first enlisted in the culture wars. It included a series of contentious claims. He argued, for example, that the Founders of the United States saw religion as essential to democracy. "In the Framers' view, free government was only suitable and sustainable for a religious people-a people who recognized that there was a transcendent moral order," he said. Barr ended his address by urging his listeners to resist the "constant seductions of our contemporary society" and launch a "moral renaissance."
Donald Trump does not share Barr's long-standing concern about the role of religion in civic life. (Though he often says that the Bible is his favorite book, when he was asked which Testament he preferred, he answered, "The whole Bible is incredible.") What the two men have in common is a sense of being surrounded by a hostile insurgency. A few days after Barr's speech, Trump told an audience at the conservative Values Voter Summit, "Extreme left-wing radicals, both inside and outside government, are determined to shred our Constitution and eradicate the beliefs we all cherish. They are trying to hound you from the workplace, expel you from the public square, and weaken the American family, and indoctrinate our children." As the effort to remove the President has gathered strength, Barr's and Trump's political interests have converged. Both men combine the pro-business instincts of traditional Republicans with a focus on culture clash and grievance. Both believe that any constraint on Presidential power weakens the United States.
Eleven months after being sworn in, Barr is the most feared, criticized, and effective member of Trump's Cabinet. Like no Attorney General since the Watergate era, he has acted as the President's political sword and shield. When the special counsel Robert Mueller released the findings of his inquiry into connections between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, Barr presented a sanitized four-page summary before the report was made public, which the President used to declare himself cleared. At the behest of the President, Barr launched an investigation of the F.B.I.'s Trump-Russia probe and the intelligence community's assessment that Russia intervened on Trump's behalf in the election. Rather than seek a nonpartisan commission, Barr appointed a federal prosecutor, reinforcing the President's claims of a "coup." When an exhaustive review by the Justice Department's inspector general found no evidence of political bias in the F.B.I. investigation, Barr issued a statement misrepresenting its findings and arguing that the evidence in the Russia probe was "consistently exculpatory"-leaving out the fact that five people connected to Trump's campaign have been indicted for lying to investigators.
Barr maintains that Article II of the Constitution gives a President control of all executive-branch agencies, without restriction; in practice, this means that Trump would be within his rights to oversee an investigation into his own misconduct. (Barr declined multiple interview requests.) Throughout the House's impeachment inquiry, Trump dismissed subpoenas for documents and testimony from…

"Barr claimed that the "organized destruction" of religion was under way in the United States. "Secularists, and their allies among the 'progressives,' have marshalled all the force of mass communications, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values," he said. Barr, a conservative Catholic, blamed the spread of "secularism and moral relativism" for a rise in "virtually every measure of social pathology"-from the "wreckage of the family" to "record levels of depression and mental illness, dispirited young people, soaring suicide rates, increasing numbers of angry and alienated young males, an increase in senseless violence, and a deadly drug epidemic."

William Barr, Trump's Sword and Shield

If Barr's inquiry results in criminal charges, it would be a radical departure from past practice. When Durham investigated C.I.A. officers for torture, he pressed no criminal charges. Previous investigations into intelligence failures that cost American lives-such as missing warning signs before the 9/11 attacks or wrongly concluding that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction-carried no possibility of criminal sanction. James Clapper, who was the director of National Intelligence in 2016, cautioned that the election assessment is a work of analysis. "If a prosecuting attorney is investigating analysts for their intelligence judgments, that's not good," Clapper said. James Baker worried that Trump's intimidation of investigators would have consequences at the F.B.I. "It could reduce the willingness to give frank assessments or to pursue controversial cases," he said, adding, "I'm nervous about the institution."

Signatures From AG, FBI Director Needed on FISA Probe of Presidential Campaign Under New Proposal

e proposal to reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court would require the signatures of both the attorney general and FBI director to launch a counterintelligence operation into a presidential campaign, Attorney General William Barr said.

The FBI during the Obama administration applied to spy on Trump 2016 presidential campaign associate Carter Page using information from a dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who was paid by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of rival candidate Hillary Clinton.

Barr was asked on Monday about a recent apology from FBI Director Christopher Wray over how the FBI handled the Page situation and what changes he wants to see to the secretive court.

"We're considering a number of additional things," Barr told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Washington. "Chris Wray and I have discussed a number of possibilities."

Bill Barr Needs To Answer For His Role In Ruby Ridge

The Second Amendment community has tried very hard to get members of the Judiciary Committee to persuade attorney general nominee William Barr to renounce his long-standing support for gun control. Opposing his nomination is not a position we relish. But if members of the Senate choose to ignore his record on guns, they should not ignore his role in the Ruby Ridge scandal.

Consider these facts.

Barr was in charge of the Justice Department during Ruby Ridge, and he knew what was going on.

Barr stated, under oath, that his chief gun priority would be the Ruby Ridge-like gun confiscation orders (sugar-coated as "red flag laws").

You may remember that Barr's federal agents descended on Randy Weaver's Idaho compound in August, 1992, and (1) shot weaver in the back; (2) shot Weaver's wife Vicki to death, while she was holding her infant son; (3) shot Weaver's 14 year-old son to death; and (4) shot Weaver's dog.

Courts subsequently largely exonerated Weaver, while excoriating the FBI and the Department of Justice. And, although then-Attorney General William Barr claimed to know nothing about the Ruby Ridge fiasco, a 1995 Washington Post article reported that there were 20 high-level DOJ calls about Weaver in the 24 hours preceding the murder of his wife - and two of them directly involved Barr.

After that, Barr spent huge amounts of pro bono time trying to get exoneration for the FBI sniper who shot Vicki Weaver to death. He pushed for immunity from prosecution, organized letters on his behalf, and framed arguments before the trial and appeals courts.

But long before Ruby Ridge, Barr's hatred for the Second Amendment was clear.

Q Research General #9952: Focus! Don't Get Slide Tracked! Edition

Which is it?

According to CNN

DOJ has not formally closed CF review

(CNN) A Justice Department review of business dealings tied to Hillary Clinton – championed by President Donald Trump and his allies – has wound down with officials not finding enough evidence to recommend the formal opening of a criminal investigation, according to current and former US officials.

==The Justice Department has not formally closed the review==, which was led by US Attorney John Huber of Utah, the officials told CNN.

A spokeswoman for Huber deferred comment to the Justice Department's spokeswoman, who ==declined to comment==. The Department of Justice also declined to comment to the Washington Post, which first reported that Huber's review had essentially come to an end.
The probe, which launched in November 2017 under then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, was given momentum by Trump and conservatives on Capitol Hill who pushed for greater scrutiny of the former Democratic presidential nominee.
Huber was said to be examining allegations that donors to the Clinton Foundation had been given special treatment by Clinton when she served as secretary of state in the first half of the Obama administration.

The allegations first were investigated in 2015-16 and were based at least in part on claims published in the 2015 opposition research book "Clinton Cash," which was written by conservative writer Peter Schweizer. Trump and his allies have criticized the Justice Department for using opposition research paid for by Democrats in the probe of ties between associates of the Trump campaign and Russia.
The review also explored allegations that a Russian nuclear energy agency donated to the Clinton Foundation in order to later secure her approval for its purchase of Uranium One, a uranium mining company, when Clinton led the State Department.

At the time of Huber's appointment, special counsel Robert Mueller had been deep into his damaging investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and leading Republican lawmakers, as well as Trump, had hounded the attorney general to appoint a second special counsel to look into the Clinton matters.

Instead, Sessions turned to Huber, a respected prosecutor who had first been appointed to the position by President Barack Obama.

Huber's review had largely paled in comparison to the Mueller investigation, and officials in Washington hoping for a counterpunch to the special counsel's blows soon turned their attention to the Justice Department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, as well as US attorney John Durham of Connecticut, who both undertook separate efforts to examine the origins of the Russia probe.

Trump and Attorney General William Barr have continued to point towards Durham's probe in recent weeks as the final word on potential FBI misconduct, while largely looking past Horowitz's findings, which criticized a series of mistakes made by agency officials but concluded that there was no evidence that they had acted with bias as they opened and carried out the Russia investigation.

And this CNN article says it has

HOW "LOCK HER UP!" JUST BLEW UP

"…Here's something else that happened on Thursday night: ==The Trump Justice Department closed its 2-year long probe into Clinton's business dealings== – including whether the Clinton Foundation received special treatment during the former first lady's time as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. That includes an allegation made by Trump (and some other conservatives) that Clinton had somehow steered a uranium deal to the Russians after a donation to the Clinton Foundation.,,,"

Homeland Security Says It Will Share Citizenship Data With Census Bureau
months after an executive order issued by President Donald Trump ordered agencies to do so.

Trump ordered federal agencies to share data with the Census Bureau after the Supreme Court ruled against the administration's attempts to add a citizenship question back onto the census for 2020.

The nation's highest court said in a 5-4 ruling that the administration didn't provide adequate reasoning for putting the question back on the census. Attorney General William Barr said the administration would have ultimately prevailed in the court battle, but he and Trump chose to go another route.
…
In a document (pdf) issued in late December 2019, the DHS said it would be sharing information with the Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau to help determine "the number of citizens, lawfully present non-citizens, and unauthorized immigrants in the United States during the decennial census (2020 Census)."

'Doesn't make any sense': Ratcliffe suspicious of US embassy official who contacted Papadopoulos

The U.S. embassy official who sought out former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos during the 2016 presidential contest has generated some curiosity among Republican investigators in Congress. Terrence Dudley, a defense attache at the U.S. Embassy in London whom Papadopoulos believes was spying on him, was reportedly interviewed by the federal prosecutor appointed by Attorney General William Barr to examine the origins of the Russia investigation.

Republican Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe, an ally of President Trump and who is a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said this indicates U.S. Attorney John Durham is looking into the Obama intelligence set for evidence of an anti-Trump plot. "That's a sign that John Durham is looking at the fact that this may include Obama administration officials beyond law enforcement - perhaps to include our intelligence community, folks like [former CIA Director] John Brennan," Ratcliffe said Sunday on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures.

Dudley met Papadopoulos in London multiple times in 2016, according to Politico, and was interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign. Papadopoulos alleged Dudley and his colleague Greg Baker, whom Papadopoulos thought were from the Defense Intelligence Agency, were spying on him. Both men have denied the accusation, claiming they made contact only out of personal curiosity. "We approached him from a more fascinated standpoint trying to figure out what his game was," Dudley told the Daily Caller. "Who's funding him to be here [in London]? How does he actually get away with doing that?"

Ratcliffe doesn't buy Dudley's explanation. "Officials at our U.S. embassies overseas going to meet with a campaign official for the Trump campaign - not in their official capacity. But the explanation that they give is, 'Just out of personal curiosity.' It's not their job, but beyond that, it doesn't make any sense," he said Sunday. The FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign began in late July 2016 after Papadopoulos bragged to an Australian diplomat that he heard the Russians had damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. An academic named Stefan Halper, who is reportedly an FBI informant, and an undercover FBI agent posing as his assistant with the name Azra Turk also met with Papadopoulos.

Papadopoulos served 12 days in federal prison for lying to FBI investigators about his contact with people linked to Russia during the 2016 campaign. The FBI's counterintelligence investigation, dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane," was wrapped into Mueller's investigation, which was unable to establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. In an audit released last month, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said he found no evidence that the genesis of the Russia inquiry was motivated by political bias as Trump and his allies have alleged. But both Barr and Durham publicly disagreed with that conclusion.

As part of his inquiry that has been criticized by Democrats as a ploy to attack Trump's political enemies, Durham is investigating what Brennan told former FBI Director James Comey and other officials about an anti-Trump dossier, compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, which made a series of accusations about Trump and his associates and their ties to Russia. Ratcliffe said he is confident Durham will provide the American people "a better picture of, really, how the Democratic administration before this one targeted President Trump and was aided by Democrats who paid for Russian disinformation, to try and frame this president before he ever got into office."

Happening?

Attorney General William Barr has arguably been the most productive member of President Donald Trump's administration.

And he just proved that again when the Department of Justice and FBI coordinated with local police to seize records and gather evidence after several corrupt Democrats were served a subpoena.

The FBI seized records from the Mayor of Lyons, Illinois, as well as from other prominent businesses. Barr signed off on a federal grand jury subpoena being served to the entire Democratic Organization of Lyons Township - headed by Democratic State Sen. Steven Landek.

Every single member of the Democratic Organization of Lyons as well as a few Democratic state senators have been ordered to appear before a grand jury.

Some heavy hitters have already been indicted and with this new move expect more heads to roll. This goes all the way to the top.

When asked if William Barr has the guts to do what needs to be done, a semi-famous conservative Twitter pundit answered that Barr has the guts, but what he lacks is prosecutable crimes.

Wait, what?

If this seems like utter nonsense to you, you are not alone. It is nonsense until you consider that successful prosecution also requires an unbiased jury willing to convict. The point might have been that Barr lacks a D.C. jury pool that would be eager to impugn swamp creatures with the same zeal demonstrated for the prosecution of Roger Stone. This is a particularly tough pill to swallow for the sober masses who are watching our nation be systematically imperiled by Democrats and the media.

The recent I.G. report on FISA abuse was just another in a very long line of disappointing indicators that equal justice may never be restored to our nation. But just when you are ready to sell the house and move to mountains of Utah, William Barr makes bold public statements that stop the music like the scratch of a needle on an L.P. record. Is this guy Barr for real? Is he ready to face the hellfire that will be unleashed if he takes real steps to hold coup conspirators accountable? It's looking increasingly likely that he is for real, but what remains to be seen how far he is willing to go. Both he and prosecutor John Durham made courageous statements in contrast to Horowitz's predictable softball conclusions. At the same time, it feels as though we are getting our hopes up again. So where is this thing headed, and when will things start to happen?

The first question to be answered is exactly how far Barr needs to take it. If you ask MAGA country, they're calling for heads up to and including Obama's. This is doubtful and certainly not prudent because the political and systemic repercussions would be devastating and permanently destabilizing for the USA.

For a simple example, suppose that Barr approved prosecution all the way up to former attorney general Loretta Lynch. Based upon that precedent, what would stop a future attorney general from pursuing a political prosecution of the retired William Barr down the road? Care must be taken to avoid the precedent of high-level political war. Otherwise, we'll morph into a banana republic in less than a generation.

Ultimately, justice needs to be done, so a compromise must be made. The most prudent course would be to prosecute up to a high enough level that sends a clear message to the subordinates of future leaders: follow corrupt orders at your own peril. This is likely the best way to disarm and deter the next corrupt administration without creating a constitutional crisis. The likes of Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Power, and so on understand this. There's no doubt they are living in fear and uncertainty. Law-abiding Americans should take minor solace in the notion that they are suffering with fear right now as a result of their crimes.

The next question is timing. Suppose Comey gets indicted in spring 2020. CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the corrupt mainstream media would start a 24-7 propaganda campaign that would look a lot like the Russia collusion narrative. However, this time, it would be louder and more desperate, and it would center on how a corrupt Donald Trump has weaponized the DOJ to go after his political enemies. The fact that Democrats and the MSM have already accused Trump of using the "awesome powers of government to punish political enemies" highlights an unmistakable Alinsky-esque pattern that has become prominent since 2016, which is - whatever you are guilty of, blame it on the other side.

This leftist tactic has become the signature calling card for the Democratic Party. After three-plus years of coordinated coup attacks from the "resistance," imagine the nerve of accusing Trump of what they were doing all along.

The incessant hypocrisy demonstrated by the left and Democrats is staggering. Hypocrisy aside, the new media campaign would undoubtedly fire up calls for more articles of impeachment from the House - and not just for Trump, but for Barr as well. You can bet on the choreography of the outrage machine. And you can also bet that this campaign would not stop until election day 2020. Would such a media campaign do damage to Trump's re-election bid? It is quite possible. Independent swing voters are a fickle and malleable bunch

Barr's apparent role in all of this is alarming to some former law enforcement officials. That includes David Laufman, a former CIA analyst who worked in counterintelligence for the Justice Department.
Laufman served Republican and Democratic administrations, and he was involved in the early stages of the Russia investigation.

Not the bees! Pentagon wants to use swarms of AI-powered drones for 'rescue' missions

The Pentagon is combing the AI developer community to try to build a self-starting swarm of AI-enabled drones capable of recognizing and tracking a target - ostensibly for search and rescue, but potentially for search and destroy.

The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) issued a request (RFI) late in December seeking the latest and greatest in AI and drone swarm tech - and looking for clever ideas on how to combine the two. The resulting smart-swarm, the agency said, should be self-directing, able to find and track humans ("and manmade objects," the RFI specifies) on its own, capable of streaming video of its activities, and willing to nudge its minders (who won't be minding it most of the time, since it's primarily AI-powered) when it has latched on to something interesting. The swarm will have to be able to move at least 50 knots (93 km/h), stay in the air for at least 2 hours, and cover 100 square nautical miles (343 square km).

The official purpose of the "smart swarm" is search and rescue, the RFI explains, while the JAIC program comprises four "mission initiatives" - "predictive maintenance, humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and cyberspace and robotic process automation."

So, where is number four? The RFI isn't telling, but we can speculate based on what JAIC is known to do. The AI-specialist department, which only debuted in 2018, ended up running Project Maven, the initiative to weaponize machine-learning and Big Data that was supposedly rejected by Google after employees got cold feet about helping the Pentagon kill people.

Project Maven has not only beefed up the quality of video input from tactical drones, or used computing power to organize the mountains of data obtained through surveillance, it has taught participants how to "use algorithms for war."

Will a smart swarm capable of hunting humans with minimal outside direction - along the lines specified in the RFI - follow the rules and stick to search and rescue, or will its AI confuse it with "search and destroy"? If the Pentagon's humans can't tell a civilian from a terrorist, how are its drone swarms supposed to be able to? And even if the algorithms work just fine, what's to stop the humans in charge from using their new toys for killing?

JAIC works with DARPA and other secretive high-level Pentagon agencies; if the US military were ever to develop a swarm of killer drones capable of operating without human input (they already have drone swarms that work with human guides), it would happen there.

Before you think "but they wouldn't dare," it would be exceedingly hard to prosecute an AI algorithm for war crimes, especially one written in open source.

We've seen this movie before, literally. The "Hated in the Nation" episode of the techno-dystopian TV show Black Mirror features a swarm of autonomous drone "bees" who've taken the place of the real thing after a mass die-off; this digital hive proves hackable, and every day, a single solitary drone bee assassin is weaponized to kill whichever public figure garners the most social media hate. Bees lost at such a slow pace, no matter the kamikaze drama of their last seconds, mean the hive-minders never mind.

The bee-masters in Black Mirror defend their creation by blustering about "military-grade" encryption, insisting no one could ever hack their high-tech better-than-nature-made-them pollinators. By that point, however, someone already had.

Military-grade encryption is only as good as the backdoors deliberately installed in it, and Attorney General William Barr and the whole Five Eyes intelligence network are intent on installing enough backdoors to keep them busy peeking through your private data for the rest of their lives. Once they do that, everyone's drone swarm - literally and figuratively - belongs to everyone else. If there was ever a time not to rush into manufacturing an apocalyptic technology, it would be now.

This is not decay; it is organized destruction. Secularists, and their allies among the "progressives," have marshaled all the force of mass communications, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values.We are told we are living in a post-Christian era. But what has replaced the Judeo-Christian moral system? What is it that can fill the spiritual void in the hearts of the individual person? And what is a system of values that can sustain human social life? The fact is that no secular creed has emerged capable of performing the role of religion.

U.S. eyes customs deal with Mexico, plans attorney general visit in January

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The United States is looking at ways to cooperate with Mexico on customs along their border to curb flows of illicit arms, drugs and money, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico said on Friday.

Speaking after what he called a fruitful meeting with Mexico's finance ministry, Ambassador Christopher Landau said that U.S. Attorney General William Barr would visit Mexico next month to discuss cooperation.

"What we want to do on the border is see if we can combine our customs so that, together, we can control what comes into Mexico and also what leaves Mexico and enters the United States," Landau told reporters. The goal is to eliminate "contraband on both sides, the drugs on one side, and the arms and money on the other," he said.

Barr visited Mexico in early December to discuss issues including security, arms trafficking and money laundering with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and other top officials.

Immigration Judges Quitting in Frustration After Trump Admin Crack Down

Immigration judges frustrated with the Trump administration's tightening of control over the Department of Justice based immigration court system are resigning from the bench in higher than normal numbers, many out of frustration, according to a report by CNN. The crack down began under former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and has continued under Attorney General William Barr.

At the same time, the Trump administration has increased the number of judges to its highest number as the system is overwhelmed with cases stemming from the recent border surges.

Lisa Dornell loved her job. For 24 years, she sat on the bench in Baltimore's immigration court, hearing hundreds of cases of immigrants trying to stay in the United States.

"It was an honor. It was a privilege to be able to preside over so many different cases and be able to grant relief to people who needed relief," Dornell told CNN in an interview.

But she walked away from that job in April - a decision that still invokes a wave of emotion when she recalls it. "The toxic environment made it both harder and easier to leave," Dornell said.

Over the past year, in the heat of a border migration crisis, 45 judges have left, moved into new roles in the immigration court system - which is run by the Justice Department - or passed away, according to the department. That's nearly double the number who departed their posts in fiscal years 2018 and 2017, when 24 and 21 judges left, respectively, according to data provided by the judges union.

The reasons why individual judges have moved on from their posts on the bench vary, but in interviews with judges who left in recent months, one theme ties them all together: frustration over a mounting number of policy changes that, they argue, chipped away at their authority.

Their departures come as the Justice Department faces a backlog that exceeds 1 million cases. The bogged-down system has led to immigration cases being pushed out years in the future, leaving many immigrants residing in the US unsure if they'll be allowed to stay or be ordered removed.

...The Trump administration was no exception. Trump's first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, implemented a series of changes to the immigration court system that have continued under his successor, William Barr.

The Justice Department has imposed case quotas, given more power to the director charged with overseeing the courts, reversed rulings, curtailed judges' ability to exercise discretion in some cases and moved to decertify the union of immigration judges.

Over time, those actions prompted immigration judges, some of whom were retirement eligible and had decades of experience, to leave the department despite initial plans to stay longer.

"I felt then and I feel now that this administration is doing everything in its power to completely destroy the immigration court system, the board of immigration appeal and the immigration system in general," said Ilyce Shugall, who served as an immigration judge in San Francisco from 2017 until March of this year. "And I just couldn't be a part of that."

On December 20, the Justice Department announced the investiture of 28 new immigration judges:

The Executive Office for Immigration Review will invest 28 new immigration judges today, bringing the immigration judge corps to its highest level in history with more than 465 immigration judges on the bench. Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Claire McCusker Murray will deliver opening remarks and Acting Chief Immigration Judge Christopher A. Santoro will preside over the investiture during a ceremony at the Department of Justice's Great Hall in the District of Columbia.

After a thorough application process, Attorney General William Barr appointed Susan F. Aikman, Amelia C. Anderson, Dale E. Anderson, Philip A. Barr, Bianca H. Brown, Kevin L. Brown, Brian H. Burke, Jennifer Chung, Miguel A. Cordero-Gonzalez, James J. Crofts, Diane L. Dodd, Sheila E. Gallow, Andrea H. Hong, Lily C. Hsu, Bruce D. Imbacuan, Samia Naseem, David A. Norkin, Christopher V. Phan, Eugene H. Robinson, Marna M. Rusher, Jeremy J. Santoro, John J. Siemietkowski, Rantideva Singh, Philip P. Taylor, Gilda M. Terrazas, Ubaid ul-Haq, Lynn W. Wang, and Matthew H.

Durham interviewing former NSA leader who alerted court of other FISA abuses

The former director of the National Security Agency is the latest to sit down with U.S. Attorney John Durham in the widening inquiry into the origins and conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation. Adm. Mike Rogers, who retired in 2018 after four years as NSA chief and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, has met with Durham, who is working at the behest of Attorney General William Barr, multiple times and is cooperating voluntarily in Durham's deep dive into the FBI's counterintelligence investigation related to the Trump campaign and the Russian government, according to the Intercept. Rogers is likely being talked to because of his key intelligence perch, experiences uncovering Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act violations, and his role in the intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference.

The December report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on FISA abuses by the DOJ and the FBI criticized the bureau's reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele's unverified dossier in pursuing electronic surveillance against Trump campaign associate Carter Page. In 2016, Rogers helped expose FISA flaws of a different kind by the NSA and the FBI. That October, as the bureau received its first Page surveillance warrant, Rogers notified the FISA Court of an NSA inspector general report that found the agency was pulling data directly from the internet and improperly searching it for information related to Americans in violation of FISA laws dealing with foreigners outside the United States targeted by U.S. intelligence agencies.

A FISA Court ruling from April 2017 revealed the high volume of violations, and that month the NSA announced it ended all searches where the foreign intelligence target was neither the sender nor receiver of a communication but was mentioned within it. "That in doing this we were going to lose some intelligence value, but my concern was I just felt it was important - we needed to be able to show that we are fully compliant with the law," Rogers told the Senate in 2017. The same FISA Court ruling stated that, by early 2016, the DOJ learned the FBI gave contractors access to massive amounts of FISA information well beyond what was necessary to respond to FBI requests. Another recently declassified October 2018 FISA Court ruling stemming from the court's inquiry into these FISA abuses found the bureau violated constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Horowitz's report also detailed how Rogers and the NSA viewed Steele's dossier with skepticism, pushing back against efforts by then-FBI Director James Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to include information from it in the high-profile January 2017 assessment on Russian election interference put together by the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA.

Rogers and Comey, along with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan, who is being scrutinized by Durham, briefed President-elect Trump about their findings at Trump Tower. Comey stayed to tell Trump about some of the dossier's more salacious allegations. The assessment concluded with "high confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin "ordered an influence campaign in 2016" and that Russia worked to "undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate former Secretary of State Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency" and "developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump." The NSA diverged on one aspect, expressing only "moderate confidence" that Putin actively tried to help Trump's election chances and harm those of Clinton by contrasting her unfavorably, and Durham is likely looking into whether Steele's dossier played a role in the determinations of the other agencies.

"I wouldn't call it a discrepancy, I'd call it an honest difference of opinion between three different organizations and, in the end, I made that call," Rogers told the Senate in May 2017. "It didn't have the same level of sourcing and the same level of multiple sources." Rogers was a Russia hawk, however, telling the Senate in February 2018 about Russia's plans of "stirring discord in the West" and how "this threatens the foundations of democracy." "More broadly, my concern is that President Putin has clearly come to the conclusion that there's little price to pay here," Rogers said. "Clearly, what we have done is not enough." "I was glad to see the broad direction that we were moving in," Rogers said in a post-retirement interview last year. "But I'm not going to pretend for a minute it's perfect by any stretch of the imagination."

AG Barr Hints The Prosecutions Are Coming And The Left Wing Media Is Hiding It

Barr hinting that prosecutions are coming over 'Spygate,' but who's going to hold the Left-wing media accountable for their enabling lies?

Freedom of the press ought to come with responsibilities...

OPINION- (TNS) Despite the First Amendment's guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press, there are still legal limitations on both.

There are laws against so-called "hate speech," libel, and slander. You can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theater. And you cannot falsely accuse someone or lie about a product.

Unless, of course, you're an elected official. Or a major Left-wing establishment newspaper.

As Attorney General William Barr hints that there might actually be some prosecutions related to the FBI's bogus investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign, some are suggesting similar scrutiny for the "mainstream media" that, for years, has pushed one lie after another about President Donald Trump and his administration.

But...but...freedom of the press!

Got it. But where does press freedom end and legal liability begin when you're knowingly pushing a false narrative that is doing real harm to society, keeping Americans riled up, at each other's throats and on the brink of societal breakdown?

Michael Goodwin, writing in the New York Post, notes:

Thankfully, the accountability fallout from the Russia misconduct has started, with Attorney General Bill Barr suggesting possible prosecutions of FBI agents and perhaps others.

But what of the media? After all, The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and the broadcast networks were spectacularly wrong in their coverage. ...

Pulitzers and other journalism prizes lionized some reports that are now as discredited as the Steele dossier. Yet the news organizations still protect the secret sources who misled them and act as if they themselves did nothing wrong.

One glaring example. The Times reported last May that the FBI sent a female investigator "posing as research assistant" to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016. The woman, who called herself Azra Turk, met with George Papadopoulos in a London bar. ...

The Times' story also says Turk and another informant, Stefan Halper, "failed to glean any information of value" from several meetings with Papadopoulos, but that is not true, according to the inspector general. He says one of the FBI's most significant "inaccuracies and omissions" was the failure to tell FISA judges that Papadopoulos repeatedly denied to Halper and Turk that the campaign was collaborating with Russia or WikiLeaks.

Did the Times reporters know about that exculpatory information, or did their FBI sources lie to them? Either way, the paper now knows its May story was wrong on key points, yet it remains uncorrected. ...

Days after the 2016 election, the Times issued an apology of sorts to subscribers for failing to realize that Trump could win. "Did Donald Trump's sheer unconventionality lead us and other news outlets to underestimate his support among American voters?" the publisher and editor wrote. ...

So now it's time for a second apology - a sincere one. And an honest inquiry into how the paper continues to get the big stories so wrong.

Again, these media outlets - every one of them committed to Trump's defeat and removal from office - are seriously dividing our country. The shameless lies have become a domestic security issue.

It's one thing to pontificate and rail about the president in a clearly-marked editorial; it's another to purposely push propaganda disguised as legitimate news.

We need some press accountability. We need people to be held legally liable for knowingly publishing false, distorting information. Free press comes with the responsibility to at least try to get details correct.

That's clearly not happening anymore in many of America's newsrooms in the age of President Trump. Ditto for perpetually triggered Democrats who hate the president more than they love a stable, prosperous country.

==AG Barr mentioned in AP story on New Mexico police investigate killing of 4== on Christmas Day

RIO RANCHO, N.M. (AP) - Police in New Mexico on Thursday were investigating the shooting of four people found dead on Christmas Day in a home in a suburb of Albuquerque.
…
The bedroom community has been mostly immune from the violence that has made headlines in neighboring Albuquerque and elsewhere around the state in recent years.

New Mexico had the nation's second highest violent crime rate and its highest property crime rate in 2018, despite the state's largest city reporting slight decreases in both categories for the first time in years, according to federal data released in October.

Albuquerque this year also marked a record number of homicides, even as the Democratic mayor and other politicians have been scrambling to curb the violence.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr just weeks ago announced Albuquerque would be among the seven cities around the county where the Justice Department will intensify federal law enforcement resources in hopes of driving down violent crime.

Trump says he hasn't thought about pardoning Roger Stone

President Trump said Tuesday he hadn't thought about pardoning Roger Stone, but described his former associate as a "good person" and said he had been treated very unfairly.

"I hadn't thought of it," Trump told reporters in Palm Beach, Fla., on Tuesday when asked if he would pardon Stone, who was convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing a congressional inquiry in November.

"I think it's very tough what they did to Roger Stone compared to what they do to other people on their side," Trump continued.

Trump said Stone and his first national security adviser Michael Flynn - both of whom were charged in connection with former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation - had been "hit very hard" while claiming, without evidence, his campaign had been improperly targeted by "dirty cops."

"Roger Stone was not involved in my campaign in any way other than the very, very beginning before I think, long before I announced," Trump said.

"I've known Roger over the years, he's a nice guy. A lot of people like him. And he got hit very hard, as did Gen. Flynn and as did a lot of other people," Trump said. "Now they're finding out it was all a big hoax."

"We were spied on. My campaign was spied on," the president continued.

Trump made the comments following a video teleconference with members of the U.S. military Tuesday morning.

Stone served briefly on Trump's first presidential campaign but left in August 2015; still, he remained in contact with campaign officials about WikiLeaks, according to prosecutors, and was convicted of lying about those contacts.

Trump responded to Stone's conviction on all seven counts of his indictment last month, claiming it as evidence of a "double standard" because his political rivals have not faced charges.

Stone is slated to be sentenced in February. Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., will be sentenced next month.

Trump has recently seized on a Justice Department inspector general report that found serious errors and omissions in an FBI surveillance application to wiretap his former campaign aide Carter Page in connection with the early Russia investigation. In one instance, an FBI lawyer altered a document used in the application, and the individual has been referred for possible criminal prosecution.

Trump claims that the watchdog report shows that his campaign was improperly targeted by the FBI.

Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department's inspector general, did not find evidence that political bias influenced the FBI's decision to open investigations into associates of Trump's campaign and found that the probe had an adequate predicate. Attorney General William Barr has disagreed with the latter conclusion.

Trump on Tuesday characterized the FBI agents who worked on the investigation as "dirty cops."

"These were dirty people, these were bad people, these were evil people. And I hope that someday I'm going to consider it my greatest achievement or one of my greatest achievements - getting rid of them," Trump said Tuesday.

the critical importance of this case being that the Holy See is the body that administers the operations of the Catholic Church through the Roman Curia which is the central government of the Catholic Church, and is a direct attack upon its sole leader and administrator Pope Francis-an attack attempted in 1994 when a similar clergy sex abuse case targeted the Holy See of Pope John Paul II, but the US Department of Justice stopped when a US Federal Court ruled in its favor that "permitting this action to proceed against the Pope would be incompatible with the United States' foreign policy interests"-and attempted again in 2005 when the Holy See of Pope Benedict XVI was targeted by yet another clergy sex abuse case, which again saw a US Federal Court throwing this case out after the US Department of Justice said that "allowing this lawsuit to proceed would be incompatible with the United States foreign policy interests"-but now sees President Donald Trump having sent a few weeks ago both US Attorney William Barr and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Rome where they informed the Vatican no such protection will be afforded them this time-as Trump will not place himself in danger of being accused that he is aiding pedophile Catholic clergy-and comes against a Pope Francis whom Trump reviles after this Catholic leader earlier this year called Trump's border wall cruel and compared it to the Berlin wall-which Pope Francis followed by further slamming nationalist leaders like Trump trying to protect their citizens with the shameful words: "I am concerned because we hear speeches that resemble those of Hitler in 1934...Us first...We ... We ...These are frightening thoughts"-a gross distortion of history made by Pope Francis that was followed by devout Catholic believers raiding his Vatican residence to remove and throw into the Tiber River his graven images of five wooden statues of a naked pregnant woman-an affront to every Christian belief and precept of no one being allowed to posses graven images of other gods-but which was even more shockingly met with the revelation that Pope Francis had authorized a $4.5 million expenditure in February of this year to pay for the production of a movie named Rocketman that celebrated and graphically depicted the homosexual and drug culture life of British music legend Elton John-all of which has led to the daily French general-interest Roman Catholic newspaper La Croix to declare: "The resignation of Pope Francis...the question is not 'if' he will resign, but 'when' he will actually do so"-which yesterday was met with the gravest warning of all saying that the resignation of Pope Francis "will fulfill the end of the world 900-year-old doomsday prophecy" of his being the last Catholic Pope to ever reign on Earth.

Tom Fitton: Obama Told Comey, "Good Luck" - During Planning Meeting the Day Before Comey Met Trump with Bogus Dossier (VIDEO)

Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton joined Gregg Jarrett on Lou Dobbs Tonight to discuss the latest on the Democrats' slapdash impeachment.

During the discussion Tom Fitton said President Trump will be held against this president as long as the House is controlled by the coup cabal.

Tom Fitton: It's way past due for Congress to investigate the FISAgate scandal. A lot of what we're hearing about from the IG we've already known, thanks to Devin Nunes, the Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuits. The IG was late to the game. It was a stalled report. And now finally the senate has zero excuses, the court has zero excuses, we'll see what the Justice Department does.

Gregg Jarrett: Well, we already know what people like James Comey are going to say in his awful interview where he got shredded by Chris Wallace. He said, "Well, I'm up here. I'm director of the FBI and the people putting that together were seven levels below me..." And, of course, Attorney General William Barr, said that's nonsense. He scoffed at that notion. But you know people like Comey and McCabe and probably Rosenstein are going to say, "Gosh, you know, I didn't know. I was trusting other people."

Tom Fitton: Comey took that dossier, after a meeting with Barack Obama. The next day he took it to president-elect Trump to confront him with the dossier, to get information, evidence. He ran down the stairs. - This is according to another IG report - He ran downstairs to his car. He started typing out his memo. Went to the FBI field office and called the Crossfire Hurricane team to give him his information about his spy-op on President-elect Trump. Comey was running the show and he did it frankly at the orders of President Obama. Because he told Obama and Biden at the Oval Office meeting when they planned. And, according to Comey Obama, said, "Good luck with that."

Gregg Jarrett: And we found out that Comey that same month, January 2017, found out from the sub-source that it was all phony information. It was all just made-up exaggerated... instead of running to the White House and sayin, "Sorry Mr. President, you know that dossier I told you about it's all fake."... Comey did the opposite.

AG Barr Blasts Soros For Stoking Hatred Of Police

They have started to win in a number of cities and they have, in my view, not given the proper support to the police."

That is the warning that Attorney General William Barr has for Americans, as he told Fox News' Martha MacCallum in a recent interview that liberal billionaire George Soros has been bankrolling radical prosecutor candidates in cities across the country.

"There's this recent development [where] George Soros has been coming in, in largely Democratic primaries where there has not been much voter turnout and putting in a lot of money to elect people who are not very supportive of law enforcement and don't view the office as bringing to trial and prosecuting criminals but pursuing other social agendas," Barr told Martha MacCallum.

Specifically, Barr warned that if the trend continues, it will lead to more violent crime, ading that the process of electing these prosecutors will likely cause law enforcement officers to consider whether the leadership in their municipality "has their back."

"They can either stop policing or they can move to a jurisdiction more hospitable," he said.

"We could find ourselves in a position that communities that are not supporting the police may not get the police protection they need."

The Washington Post recently reported that while two Virginia prosecutorial candidates - funded by Soros' Justice and Public Safety PAC - have never prosecuted a case in a state court, they beat candidates with more than 60 years of experience between them.

Barr talks about the police and Soros funded prosecutors

https://video.foxnews.com/v/6117441020001

Attorney General William Barr has warned that liberal billionaire George Soros has been bankrolling radical prosecutor candidates in cities across the country.

In an interview that aired Friday on "The Story," Barr said that the Hungarian-American activist is likely relying on the routinely low turnout in local primary elections to help his candidates win.

"There's this recent development [where] George Soros has been coming in, in largely Democratic primaries where there has not been much voter turnout and putting in a lot of money to elect people who are not very supportive of law enforcement and don't view the office as bringing to trial and prosecuting criminals but pursuing other social agendas," Barr told Martha MacCallum.

"They have started to win in a number of cities and they have, in my view, not given the proper support to the police."

Barr warned that if the trend continues, it will lead to more violent crime. However, he pushed back on claims police officers will "withdraw" from communities that elect or install left-wing prosecutors who are not amenable to normal policing.

Instead, Barr said the process of electing these prosecutors will likely cause law enforcement officers to consider whether the leadership in their municipality "has their back."

"They can either stop policing or they can move to a jurisdiction more hospitable," he said. "We could find ourselves in a position that communities that are not supporting the police may not get the police protection they need."

Last month, two Virginia prosecutorial candidates ousted incumbents in local Democratic primaries – after Soros' Justice and Public Safety PAC poured nearly a million dollars into their campaigns.

He backed Parisa Dehghani-Tafti to beat Arlington County Commonwealth's Attorney Theo Stamos, and supported former Justice Department employee Steve Descano in his race against Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Raymond Morrogh. Campaign finance reports show Dehghani-Tafti received $583,000 and Descano received $392,000 just from that PAC. Meanwhile, Stamos and Morrogh raised $162,000 and $242,000, respectively, for their entire campaigns.

The money gave Tafti and Descano a significant financial advantage over the incumbents, despite their lack of experience. The Washington Post reported that while the two challengers have never prosecuted a case in a state court, they beat candidates with more than 60 years of experience between them.

Both were also boosted by Democratic former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who said Stamos and Morrogh had pushed back against his effort to restore voting rights of convicted felons after they serve their time. But supporters of the incumbents said the role that money played was significant.

House Committee Requests Documents to Investigate Jeffrey Epstein's Secret Plea Deal

The Democrat-led House Committee on Oversight and Reform requested documents from federal prosecutors and Florida law enforcement officials on Friday as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's secret plea deal.

The House Committee on Oversight and Reform sent letters to U.S. Attorney General William Barr (pdf) and Richard Swearingen (pdf), the Commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, asking for "documents and information regarding the favorable deal for sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and the concealment of the deal from the victims of Mr. Epstein's crimes."

The committee wants the documents by the first week of January 2020.

Epstein, a 66-year-old financier, and already-registered child sex offender was arrested on July 6 on new charges of sex trafficking underage girls. He was later found dead in his jail cell early Aug. 10 in what was deemed as an "apparent suicide." While the medical examiner ruled his cause of death as suicide, some lawmakers and medical experts have said evidence suggests a homicide.

Prosecutors with the Southern District of New York on July 8 charged Epstein with child sex trafficking in a legal challenge to a previous agreement that took place more than a decade ago, dubbed the "sweetheart" plea deal of a lifetime.

Epstein's lawyers argued in July that according to that plea deal, signed with the Department of Justice (DOJ) through the Southern District of Florida in 2008, Epstein is immune to any new charges for crimes committed during the same period.

Meanwhile, the DOJ on Feb. 6 announced an internal investigation of the plea deal in a strongly-worded statement. Later, a federal judge ruled on Feb. 21 that prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida broke the law when arranging the plea deal because they didn't notify Epstein's alleged victims during the plea negotiations; this violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act.

Plea Deal

The plea deal, called a federal prosecution agreement, was made in 2008 after Epstein was accused in 2007 of operating an international child sex ring at his Palm Beach mansion and 72-acre private island estate in the Caribbean-Little St. James Island, and molesting more than 100 underage girls over eight years.

The deal saw Epstein avoid any substantial time behind bars, serving just 13 months in a private section of Florida's Palm Beach County jail. Epstein, then 54, pleaded guilty to lesser state charges-only two felony prostitution charges in state court, rather than federal court. He also paid financial settlements to victims, registered as a sex offender, and gave undisclosed information to authorities.

Per the agreement, Epstein was allowed to maintain that he was unaware that any of the girls he molested were under age 18. The deal also provided a work-release arrangement that let Epstein leave jail for 12 hours each day, six days a week, and work unsupervised at his downtown West Palm Beach office.

The deal was also sealed, which means that information relating to Epstein's alleged crimes, the people who participated in them, and specific details of the plea negotiations are still unknown.

Epstein's 13-month sentence is believed to be one of the most lenient in U.S. history for a serial sex offender.

Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida at the time of the plea deal. Court records and emails obtained by the Miami Herald show that Acosta was personally involved. Acosta resigned in July this year amid renewed scrutiny of the plea deal.

Former NSA Director Cooperating With Durham Probe Of Russia Investigation: Report

Retired Adm. Michael Rogers, the former director of the National Security Agency, is cooperating with U.S. attorney John Durham's investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, according to a new report.

The Intercept, citing four sources familiar with the matter, reports that Rogers has met voluntarily with Durham multiple times.

"He's been very cooperative," a former intelligence official familiar with the meetings told The Intercept.

The development comes after The New York Times reported Thursday that Durham, the U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, has asked the CIA for emails, call logs and other correspondence from John Brennan, the former CIA director.

The Intercept report does not say whether Rogers has provided any information that contradicts Brennan, the CIA, or the FBI.

In May, Attorney General William Barr tapped Durham to lead an administrative review of U.S. agencies' investigation and intelligence-gathering activities related to the Trump campaign. Barr said at the time that he had questions about the FBI's rationale for investigating whether Trump campaign advisers were conspiring with Russia in 2016.

Barr said in a Fox News interview this week that Durham is looking at what happened before the FBI opened that investigation in July 2016, as well as what took place after Trump was elected.

According to The New York Times, Durham is interested in the CIA's assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election specifically to help Donald Trump win the election.

The CIA and FBI assessed with a high degree of confidence that Russia meddled in the 2016 election in order to help Donald Trump win the election, rather than just to sow discord in the American political system. The NSA had only a medium degree of confidence in the theory.

BREAKING: Durham Criminal Investigation Zeros In On Brennan, Communications With Comey

United States Attorney John Durham's criminal investigation into the origins of the FBI's Russia investigation is reportedly taking a close look at former CIA Director John Brennan. Durham has "requested Mr. Brennan's emails, call logs and other documents from the C.I.A., according to a person briefed on his inquiry," The New York Times reported. "He wants to learn what Mr. Brennan told other officials, including the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, about his and the C.I.A.'s views of a notorious dossier of assertions about Russia and Trump associates." In October, The Times reported that the investigation had shifted from an administrative review into a full-fledged criminal investigation based on evidence that had allegedly been uncovered. Durham is also reportedly taking a close look at whether Brennan made contradictory statements between his private and public remarks about the anti-Trump Steele dossier and about "any debate among the intelligence agencies over their conclusions on Russia's interference." The Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz's report on the FBI's misconduct in surveilling the Trump campaign during the 2016 campaign found that the CIA informed the FBI not to rely on the Steele dossier because they viewed it as being as credible as an "internet rumor."

The New York Times added: Mr. Brennan has come into Mr. Durham's sights as he has focused on the intelligence community assessment released in January 2017 that used information from the F.B.I., the C.I.A. and the National Security Agency to detail Russia's meddling. They concluded that President Vladimir V. Putin ordered an influence campaign that "aspired to help" Mr. Trump's chances by damaging his opponent, Hillary Clinton. Officials and analysts who worked on that assessment disagreed on how to treat two pieces of intelligence: the assertion that Mr. Putin wanted to help Mr. Trump win rather than simply sow chaos, and the contents of the dossier of salacious, unproven allegations about links between Russia and Trump associates compiled by a British former spy, Christopher Steele. Mr. Durham's investigators also want to know to more about the discussions that prompted intelligence community leaders to include Mr. Steele's allegations in the appendix of their assessment.

Attorney General William Barr told Fox News on Wednesday that Durham was "not just looking at the FBI. He is looking at other agencies and also private departments and also private actors and so it is a much broader investigation. And also he is not just looking at the FISA aspect of it. He is looking at all the conduct - both before and after the election." Barr also slammed disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, saying, "One of the things that I object to is the tact being taken by Comey, which is to suggest that people who are criticizing or trying to get to the bottom of the misconduct are somehow attacking the FBI. I think that's nonsense. We're criticizing and concerned about misconduct by a few actors at the top of the FBI and they should be criticized if they engaged in serious misconduct. That doesn't mean we are criticizing the FBI and I think the tact of trying to wrap yourself in the institution and say gee, people who are criticizing the decisions I made are attacking the institution. I notice people don't do that as far as I'm concerned. People feel free to criticize me and I don't say gee you're attacking the honest men and women of the Department of Justice. I think leaders have to own their decisions and are fair game if they make bad decisions."

Barr: Durham report on Russia investigation won't be ready 'for quite a few months'

Attorney General William Barr on Thursday said that he does not expect U.S. Attorney John Durham's report on the origins of the Russia investigation "for quite a few months."

"He is moving very diligently," the attorney general told Fox News' Martha MacCallum in an interview.

But he cast doubt on some estimates that Durham could file his report as soon as the next few weeks, citing the scope of the investigation. Barr added that he has not been involved in the day-to-day operations of the probe, nor had he given Durham a specific timeline for completion.

Story Continued Below

"Just based on my general knowledge of the things that he is looking at or has to look at in the future," he explained, "I would not think that he would be in a position for quite a few months."

Barr tapped Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, in May to oversee the probe into whether the 2016 counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump and his campaign was "lawful and appropriate."

The analysis of the expert we contacted is extremely interesting: "It was recorded with a microphone attached to the collar of the shirt, in a very large environment, directly connected to the computer, there is a lot of echo," he explains to InsideOver. "In the audio file sent to the Italian newspapers - he observes - we also hear the voice of a woman, towards the end, which says 22". The person of the audio message, he continues, "does not have the same cadence as the real Mifsud of the videos, which dragged the vowels because of his breathing. This thing in the audio file is never there and I'm pretty convinced it's a fake. " Even his lawyer, Stephan Roh, had denied Adnkronos that the person of the audio message was the Maltese teacher: "It is absolutely false, 100 percent." Roh says: "Voice too high, not his accent, not the tone, he looks like a real Italian".

At this point, assuming that the appraiser is indeed right (as we believe), the question is obligatory: why would anyone make a fake audio? There are two cases: either the Maltese teacher continues to hide - who knows where - or, at worst, we are talking about a person who may no longer be alive. The last person who saw her in Rome told Panorama that "Joe has a nice apartment in Parioli, I saw him there last time. It was March 2018, "explains the source. "That [Joseph Mifsud] disappeared in 2017, I read it in the newspapers. I saw him last time in Parioli, near Piazza Euclide, where Joe had a beautiful apartment ". And then?

The hideout in the Marche region

Starting October 31st 2017 - official date of the disappearance - as ascertained by La Verità, the Maltese professor was a guest at the home of Alessandro Zampini, a surgeon specialized in odontostomatology, located six kilometers from Matelica, in Esanatoglia, a small town in province of Macerata, one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. According to Truth, Zampini would not be a "friend" of Vanna Fadini, administrator of Global education management (Gem), the Link Campus University management company, but his partner. The dentist lives in Rome but often returns to the small Marche region, where his mother Luciana lives. The name of Zampini, until some time ago, also appeared among the members of the board of the Link Campus.

As Mifsud himself explains in the deposition given to John Durham: "I stayed there for over two months - he explains - I spent these two months thinking about how to recover my health, which was one of the most important things, and also time to gather my ideas and points of view on what actually happened ". The testimonies gathered by the Truth confirm the professor's stay in Esanatoglia, in the house of Zampini.

Who is Joseph Mifsud

According to the official reconstruction, the teacher stated in a meeting in April 2016 to George Papadopoulos, advisor in the Donald Trump campaign, that he learned that the Russian government had "compromising material" (dirt) on Hillary Clinton "in the form of e- email ". At that point, the President's former consultant would have repeated this information to the Australian High Commissioner in London, Alexander Downer, who in turn reported everything to the American authorities. From here, on 31 July 2016, the FBI investigations on the alleged links between Trump and Russia started, accusations that later proved to be inconsistent. But then who designed and packaged everything with the aim of "fitting in" Trump? American justice is taking its course with the criminal investigation of John Durham.

On 7 November 2018 Giulio Occhionero - at the center of the EyePiramid affair - presented a complaint to the prosecutor's office of the Republic of Perugia for the attention of Dr. Gemma Milani, in which Joseph Mifsud is mentioned: as proof that, wherever it is, nobody can hide the fact that the mysterious professor is fundamental in understanding the origins of the Russiagate and an international intrigue that has led, twice, the Attorney General William Barr in Italy to talk with the heads of our secret services. And an American attorney general never moves from Washington DC, except in exceptional cases. Like this.

AG Barr Says Durham Is 'Looking At' Activities Of 'Private Actors,' Agencies Beyond FBI

Attorney General William Barr provided new details Wednesday of U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe and said in an interview on Fox News that the federal prosecutor is looking into the activities of federal agencies outside the FBI, as well as those of "private actors."

"He's not just looking at the FBI," Barr said of Durham. "He's looking at other agencies ... and also private actors, so it's a much broader investigation."

Barr did not elaborate on which "private actors" are part of the Durham probe.

Barr tapped Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, in May to investigate federal agencies' surveillance and investigative activities related to the Trump campaign. Durham's probe has run parallel to a Justice Department inspector general's investigation into the FBI's surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, found extensive evidence of "significant inaccuracies" in the FBI's applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against Page. The applications, which relied heavily on information from the unverified Steele dossier, asserted there was probable cause to suspect that Page was a Russian agent.

Surveillance footage from night of Jeffrey Epstein suicide attempt goes missing

Footage from surveillance cameras monitoring Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell has gone missing, prosecutors have admitted, in the latest twist of the scandal surrounding his life and death.

The footage in question was from the night of his first suspected suicide attempt inside a Manhattan jail, on July 23.

He was found dead inside a different cell in the same jail on August 10.

Epstein's cell mate, Nick Tartaglione, a former policeman accused of quadruple murder, claimed to have saved Epstein's life after the suicide attempt. Epstein reportedly claimed that Tartaglione, a bodybuilder, attacked him.

On July 25 Tartaglione's lawyers requested the surveillance camera footage, hoping that it would bolster his argument that he is of good character.

William Barr, the attorney general, was furious that one of America's most high-profile prisoners was able to take his own life, and launched an immediate inquiry.

The warden of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan was reassigned, and two officers on duty the night he died, who fell asleep while they were supposed to be monitoring him, have been charged with neglecting their duties and falsifying records.

Mr Barr said the paedophile financier's death was the result of "a perfect storm of screw-ups".

Durham's Broad Spygate Inquiry Looking at Private Actors, Barr Says

BY IVAN PENTCHOUKOV
1 CommentsDecember 19, 2019 Updated: December 19, 2019

The investigation into the surveillance of the Trump campaign is broad in scope and includes actions taken by private actors, according to Attorney General William Barr.

Barr made the revelation in an interview with Fox News aired on Dec. 18. He appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham earlier this year to look into the origins of the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign and whether the spying on Trump-campaign associates was legal and free of improper motive.

"He's not just looking at the FBI," Barr said. "He's looking at other agencies and departments and also private actors. So it's a much broader investigation."

Private actors figured prominently in the investigation of the Trump campaign. Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele compiled an opposition research dossier on Trump. The dossier played a central role in the FBI's decision to apply for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant on Trump-campaign associate Carter Page. The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee ultimately funded Steele's work by retaining the Fusion GPS research firm through Perkins Coie, a law firm.

Barr: Criminal probe of intel community looking at "private actors" too

U.S. Attorney General William Barr continues to give provocative new details about the investigation being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham regarding the intelligence community's behavior in the Trump-Russia probe.

In an interview on Fox News Wednesday, Barr said that Durham's criminal probe is not confined to looking at federal agencies: he's also looking at "private actors."

"[Durham is] not just looking at the FBI. He's looking at other agencies ... and also private actors, so it's a much broader investigation."
William Barr, U.S. Attorney General

Barr has been speaking publicly about the ongoing probe, he says, in part to correct misreporting and misinformation in the wake of the release of the Justice Department Inspector General report by Michael Horowitz.

Former CIA Spook: Eric Holder Just Revealed That The "Deep State Is Running Scared

Former CIA officer and counter-intelligence expert Kevin Shipp says that former Obama Administration Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder gave a big Deep State panic signal when he wrote in an Op-Ed last week in the Washington Post trashing current AG William Barr and his top prosecutor John Durham. Shipp explains:

"This is very significant. We all remember that Holder was Obama's right hand man. Eric Holder was Barack Obama's enforcer. The fact that Holder comes out this quickly after the Inspector General (IG) Horowitz Report comes out... and makes this veiled threat against Durham's reputation. The fact that Eric Holder came out and made this statement is a clear indication to me they are running scared.

We have to understand it was Eric Holder that Barack Obama used to target the heads of corporations that spoke out publicly about Barack Obama. We know Holder was held in 'Contempt of Congress.' He spied on AP reporters, ran guns to drug cartels and blacked out the information. He spied on over a hundred journalists, and on and on we go...

They (Deep State) are convinced there are going to be indictments. Secondly, there is AG Barr's outrage over (IG) Horowitz's report and what it did not do. He made statements that there was spying and actions by government officials that need to be criminally looked into. Barr's outrage over this shows me that there are going to be indictments, and that he is taking this seriously. Again, when Holder comes out and puts out this bombshell in the Washington Post, which is another indication that indictments are coming. John Brennan, former Obama Administration CIA Director, is going to be at the top of the list."

FBI Blows Off Senators' Request On Materials Related To Ukrainian DNC Contractor In 2016
DECEMBER 18, 2019 By Tristan Justice
The FBI ignored Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin's requests last month for information related to former Democratic National Committee (DNC) contractor and her efforts to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign from Ukrainian officials.

In November, Johnson and Grassley gave the FBI a Dec. 9 deadline to meet their demands to hand over information found over the course of an investigation into a cyberattack on the DNC.

Politico reported in 2016 that Chalupa met with a government official from the Ukrainian embassy for damaging information on the Trump campaign. Later that year, Yahoo News reported that Chalupa was the target of a cyberattack while she was working at the DNC prompting FBI investigators to question Chalupa and take digital forensic images of her computer and smartphone.

"If this reporting is accurate, it appears that the DOJ and FBI have in their possession material relevant to our Committees' ongoing investigation into collusive actions Chalupa and the DNC took to use foreign government sources to undermine the Trump campaign during the 2016 election," Grassley and Johnson wrote to Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

According to a Taylor Foy, a spokesman for Grassley's office, the FBI has yet to respond to the senators' demands for interview notes and the materials related to Chalupa's devices.

The senators' requests to the FBI came in the midst of House impeachment proceedings centering on President Donald Trump and his dealings with Ukraine. Democrats and the media have alleged Trump conspired with his Ukrainian counterpart to interfere in the next election by investigating the Biden family in exchange for the release of nearly $400 million in military aid being withheld in an apparent "quid pro quo." The aid however, was ultimately released and the Ukrainian president has denied knowledge of any such arrangement. Further, an unredacted transcript of the phone call declassified and released to the public reveals no scheme to pressure the Ukraine government into investigating political rivals.

Instead, the transcript shows President Trump requesting Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky investigate the origins of its involvement in peddling the Russia hoax in the United States and root out corruption in his own country.

Former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, served on the board of a Ukrianian energy company earning $50,000 a month without any prior experience in the industry while Joe Biden was dictating U.S. policy towards Ukraine.

A Federalist analysis of Hunter Biden's compensation reveals the former vice president's son made far more than comparable compensation packages to board members of other companies.

Ukraine's involvement in pushing Russigate is well-documented. Grassley and Johnson's demands for more information from the FBI on the issue would shed further light in the public's interest on Ukraine's election meddling in 2016.

Barr said he is allocating $71 million to help fight violent crime in Detroit. The AG also said more federal agents will be hired and assigned to the Detroit area so that they can create more task forces to fight violent crime.

written by Barr himself

AG William Barr: Crime-reduction operation launches in Detroit

Detroit is one of America's most important cities. Its contributions to our national economy and culture are invaluable. But the city would not be what it is without its people.

The citizens of Detroit have rightfully earned a reputation across the country as well as around the world for being hardworking and no nonsense. They make the city the vital hub of manufacturing, finance, tech, trade and health care that it is today.

However, Detroit also suffers from some of the worst violent crime in America. For that reason, I came here this week to announce Operation Relentless Pursuit, a Trump administration initiative designed to reduce violent crime in some of America's toughest cities.

Joining me were the heads of the FBI, ATF, DEA and U.S. Marshals Service. We traveled here in order to together voice our support for the people of Detroit, who for far too long have endured an epidemic of violent crime. Operation Relentless Pursuit will combine the efforts of these federal partners and assist local law enforcement with its ongoing effort to restore order in Detroit.

The magnitude of this operation cannot be underestimated. For the first time in recent memory, the Department of Justice is simultaneously connecting all four major federal law-enforcement agencies to the places that most need attention. This initiative was designed to update and enhance the best crime-fighting techniques from the last thirty years - techniques that were largely abandoned by previous presidential administrations.

For decades, the violent-crime rate in America steadily fell. Then suddenly in 2015 and 2016, our country witnessed its steepest increase in murders since 1971 - a nearly 20% spike. In fact, all violent crime increased, a backslide that was exacerbated by a variety of new challenges to policing, including "reforms" that offered leniency to violent offenders, an explosion of anti-police rhetoric, and a surge in assaults on police officers. In 2016 alone, the number of officers shot and killed in the line of duty skyrocketed by 44 percent.

Michigan followed the national trend, suffering staggering escalations in violent crime including murder, aggravated assault, and rape. In 2015, there were over 7,100 reported rapes in the Great Lakes State, nearly surpassing the all-time peak from 25 years prior.

From his first day in office, ending this national crime wave was a top priority for President Trump. At his direction, the Department of Justice returned to the common-sense policies that had effectively cut crime in the past. We coordinated with our state and local partners to launch new initiatives modeled after our accomplishment, designed to swiftly take the most violent offenders off the streets.

These tried-and-true crime reduction strategies reversed the trend. The national violent-crime rate dropped in 2017, and then again in 2018. In many parts of the country, it looks like things are back on track. However, there are cities at risk of being left behind. Despite enjoying slight improvements over the last two years, Detroit still reports the highest violent-crime per capita among major cities in the U.S.

Operation Relentless Pursuit will surge an unparalleled amount of federal backing to Detroit and the other most dangerous cities in the United States. It will build on the Justice Department's successful Project Safe Neighborhoods, which encouraged community-based solutions to violent crime. It will also complement Project Guardian and DEEP (Disruption and Early Engagement Program), agency initiatives focused on reducing gun crime and preventing mass shootings.

With Operation Relentless Pursuit, local law enforcement will have access to state-of-the-art technology and our nation's top federal agents, who will be tasked with investigating and taking down the most violent offenders and their criminal organizations. We're matching our rhetoric with resources by committing significant manpower and up to $71 million in additional funding for our federal, state, and local partners.

During the Trump administration, many Americans have already received relief from the threat of violent crime. Now, Operation Relentless Pursuit will strive to ensure that peace, safety, and rule of law are enjoyed as widely as possible. Detroit can and will defeat violent crime. The federal government stands ready to follow the lead of local law enforcement on the ground and equip them with the best assets in its arsenal.

William Barr 'Must Be Removed': Letter Urges Congress to Impeach Attorney General for Repeatedly Violating Oath of Office

Published on
Tuesday, December 17, 2019
byCommon Dreams

"The Attorney General," says president of Common Cause, "has repeatedly proven unwilling to put the interests of the nation before those of the man who appointed him and he must be removed from office before he does more harm to the nation."

The pro-democracy watchdog Common Cause on Tuesday sent a letter to congressional lawmakers calling for the impeachment of U.S. Attorney General William Barr.

Sent to every member of both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, the letter (pdf) charges that Barr-appointed by President Donald Trump as the nation's top law enforcement official to lead the Justice Department-has repeatedly violated his oath of office in a way that has put the interests of the president ahead of those of the American people.

Common Cause president Karen Hobert Flynn, who authored and signed the letter, said the Attorney General "has politicized the Department of Justice and undermined trust in the law by prioritizing and acting in the interests of a president who has committed impeachable offenses, rather than upholding the law and the Constitution."

Barr, she added, "has repeatedly violated his oath to the people he swore to protect and must be impeached and removed from office. The American people deserve an Attorney General committed to upholding the Constitution and applying the law without fear or favor. The Attorney General has repeatedly proven unwilling to put the interests of the nation before those of the man who appointed him and he must be removed from office before he does more harm to the nation."

William Barr 'Must Be Removed': Letter Urges Congress to Impeach Attorney General for Repeatedly Violating Oath of Office

"The Attorney General," says president of Common Cause, "has repeatedly proven unwilling to put the interests of the nation before those of the man who appointed him and he must be removed from office before he does more harm to the nation."

The pro-democracy watchdog Common Cause on Tuesday sent a letter to congressional lawmakers calling for the impeachment of U.S. Attorney General William Barr.

Sent to every member of both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, the letter (pdf) charges that Barr-appointed by President Donald Trump as the nation's top law enforcement official to lead the Justice Department-has repeatedly violated his oath of office in a way that has put the interests of the president ahead of those of the American people.

Common Cause president Karen Hobert Flynn, who authored and signed the letter, said the Attorney General "has politicized the Department of Justice and undermined trust in the law by prioritizing and acting in the interests of a president who has committed impeachable offenses, rather than upholding the law and the Constitution."

Barr, she added, "has repeatedly violated his oath to the people he swore to protect and must be impeached and removed from office. The American people deserve an Attorney General committed to upholding the Constitution and applying the law without fear or favor. The Attorney General has repeatedly proven unwilling to put the interests of the nation before those of the man who appointed him and he must be removed from office before he does more harm to the nation."

The 9-page letter lays out the case for impeaching Barr in detail. According to a statement from the group:

Most recently Barr ignored the evidence and conclusions of the Justice Department Inspector General's report finding the FBI properly launched an investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Previously the Attorney General mischaracterized and undermined the work and conclusions of Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian election interference and obstruction of justice - intentionally delaying the release of the actual report in order to release his own "summary" to undercut the Special Counsel's findings.

The letter also details Barr's actions to facilitate the Trump Administration's unlawful withholding of the Ukraine whistleblower complaint from Congress on the basis of his Office of Legal Counsel's severely flawed reasoning-reasoning sharply criticized by the DOJ's own Inspector General and dozens of other federal agency inspectors general. Further the letter outlines the Attorney General's obstruction of the congressional investigations into the Trump Administration's attempt to insert a citizenship question into the 2020 Census by continuing to defy lawfully-issued Congressional subpoenas.

Paul S. Ryan, Common Cause vice president for policy and litigation, said, "Barr is blatantly abusing the considerable powers of his office and undermining the rule of law in this nation and he must be removed from office."

Ryan characterized Barr's abuse of power as "unprecedented for an Attorney General of the United States and cannot be tolerated in a democracy," and said, "Congress must move swiftly to impeach and remove William Barr from office."

Common Cause is not the first to call for Barr's removal. In April, the progressive advocacy group CREDO Action also called for the Attorney General to be impeached, accusing Barr of covering up for Trump in the wake of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.

This fall, as the focus of Trump's misconduct shifted to his efforts to pressure the Ukrainian government to dig up dirt on his 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden, Barr's efforts to use his position at the DOJ to insulate the president from accountability spurred fresh calls for the Attorney General's ouster.

"This isn't a presidential administration, it's a criminal enterprise," tweeted 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro in early October. "The evidence is clear: both Trump and Barr must be impeached."

Sidney Powell: 'Durham Report May Indict Brennan, Comey, And McCabe'

In a bombshell of a statement, attorney Sidney Powell suggested that at least three top Obama regime figures could soon be in serious legal jeopardy.

Powell, who is currently representing former national security adviser and retired Army general Michael Flynn - who was set up by the FBI - predicted that John Brennan, James Comey and Andrew McCabe may have indictments in their future.

Following the release of the long-awaited DOJ Inspector General's report which provided damning evidence that high-ranking officials relied on the debunked dossier of slimy British spook Christopher Steel to defraud the secret court, the next phase is coming.

According to Powell, the ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia hoax by Attorney General William Barr and prosecutor John Durham could result in the trio facing charges and the very real possibility of jail time.

The crusading attorney made her comments during a round table discussion on the podcast The War Room.

Via The War Room:

On Episode 69 of War Room: Impeachment Stephen K. Bannon, Jason Miller, and Raheem Kassam were joined by Gen. Mike Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell, who noted she believes U.S. attorney John Durham's upcoming report will indict multiple individuals.

Miller asked the attorney: "What do you want to see out of this Durham report that's coming up next?"

"I've never heard of a U.S. attorney doing a report," Powell responded. "I think [Durham is] going to indict people That's what U.S. attorney's do."

"That is huge," Miller emphasized.

Bannon inquired: "You're saying that certain people like Brennan, Comey, and McCabe and these guys should lawyer up?"

"I imagine they already have," Powell said. "If they haven't, they are even dumber than they look."

Rudy Giuliani Declares War on Obama, Says He's Ready to Release Some Bombshells

As we have been reporting all day, Rudy Giuliani has been releasing bombshell after bombshell on Twitter about some of the corruption he has uncovered during his investigations into Ukraine, Biden, Burisma and a hell of a lot more.

What we have seen so far is mind boggling to say the least.

So we decided to publish a summary of sorts from The National Sentinel which provides even more details than we published earlier.
Giuliani Adds More Context To Recent Bombshells On Obama-Era Corruption In Ukraine, Pledging 'More To Come' (Complete Summary)

(TNS) Last week, One America News' Chanel Rion, who was traveling throughout Eastern Europe with presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani, was privy to some bombshell findings regarding members of the Obama administration and Ukraine, among other countries.

As we reported December 9th:

On Saturday before departing for Florida for campaign events, President Donald Trump told the media that his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani - in Ukraine for more investigative work regarding 2016 election corruption - had "found plenty" of "good information" during his trip there and to other European countries.

The president then said he believes Giuliani wants to present a report to the Attorney General William Barr and to Congress. ...

No wonder Democrats are moving so quickly with impeachment.

Giuliani found:

- Ukrainian officials offered up six criminal cases involving Joe and Hunter Biden, including "money laundering;"

- One Ukrainian official produced official communiques and documents he says proves that Obama's U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine and 'impeachment witness' Maria Yovanovich perjured herself during her hearing;

- Another, Victor Shokin, the former Ukrainian prosecutor general, described how then-President Petro Poroshenko came into his office and told him he'd better stop investigating Hunter Biden or the country would lose a billion dollars in aid, as Joe Biden threatened (Shokin was fired);

- There are dozens of inquiries open into possible misallocation of U.S. funds in Ukraine, with the U.S. Embassy's involvement.

Giuliani - a former federal prosecutor who knows how to investigate and follow leads - traveled to Kiev, Ukraine; Budapest, Hungary; and Vienna, Austria. Here is Rion's report:

Trump's mean words harm our agency, says former FBI Director - just don't ask about our past!

President Donald Trump's verbal attacks on the FBI are a "dire threat" to the rule of law in America, according to former FBI Director William Webster. But the agency has a scandal-rich history and needs more, not less, scrutiny.

Trump has referred to certain FBI officials as "scum" and former agency Director James Comey as a "slimeball." He's accused Comey of launching the 2016 'Russiagate' investigation against his campaign for nakedly partisan reasons, and his Attorney General, William Barr, has accused the agency of acting in "bad faith" in its handling of the 2016 probe.

This renewed attention on the FBI comes after the publication of a report by the Justice Department's Inspector General last Monday. The report found 17 irregularities, inaccuracies and omissions in the FBI's FISA warrant application, used to obtain permission to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, and criticized the agency for knowingly using the bogus 'Steele Dossier' as basis for this FISA application.

While the report stopped short of accusing the agency of bias, it didn't do the FBI any favors in the PR department. Enter former Director William Webster, who set about correcting the record in a New York Times op-ed on Monday.

"Calling FBI professionals 'scum,' as the president did, is a slur against people who risk their lives to keep us safe," he wrote. Barr's accusations of bias, he continued, "risk inflicting enduring damage on this critically important institution."

President Trump's assertion last week that current FBI Director Christopher Wray "will never be able to fix the FBI" is another dangerous threat, Webster opined. "The independence of both the FBI and its director are critical and should be fiercely protected by each branch of government."

Webster seems to forget that the FBI exists to protect America's people and government, not the other way round.

Ironically, if anything, the Inspector General's report shows that left to operate independently, the FBI cannot be trusted. Though Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not directly accuse the agency of bias, a mountain of evidence suggests otherwise.

BB elevates Prosecutor from Brooklyn== ==[HRC] [AOC] to serve as #2 in DOJ

Washington - Attorney General William Barr has elevated a former top federal prosecutor in Brooklyn to help oversee day-to-day operations at the Justice Department as the No. 2 official in the deputy attorney general's office, senior department officials said Monday.

Seth DuCharme, currently a counselor to Barr, is the former chief of the criminal division in the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of New York. He worked closely on some of the most high profile federal cases of the last decade, including investigations into Huawei, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the 1MDB money laundering scandal and numerous terrorism cases.

He will be taking over as principal associate deputy attorney general, a position similar to his role in the U.S. attorney's office, which he held until earlier this year.

Barr said that Huber is currently wrapping up an investigation related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and has not been involved for months in anything related to the Russia probe.

"The other issues he's been working on relate to Hillary Clinton. Those are winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," said Barr, who did not describe the Clinton probe.

>Robinson suggests that it's moving from D.C. to Utah, under U.S. Attorney John Huber, who was selected by Attorney General Sessions to handle cases related to the IG report. Remarkably, Huber operates with a staff of 470 investigators, far exceeding the investigative power of a special counsel. One other possibility, if the cases relating to Awan include allegations of treason or other matters of national security, is that they will be tried in a military court, away from the media and the chance of compromising sensitive information, sources or methods. That lessens the likelihood that any "big fish" will get away on a technicality.
>"Rest assured," Robinson concludes, "this entire case is being handled with the utmost care."
Reminder, all the FISA related investigations were given to Durham, BUT Huber is still going after other matters:

>In a March 29 letter to Republican committee chairmen, Mr. Sessions said that Mr. Huber, the U. S. Attorney for Utah, had been appointed to "evaluate certain issues" raised by the GOP. He did not say which issues, but there are plenty.
>These included actions by Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch and others, email controversies, mishandling of classified information, Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier, FISA warrants, wire taps, leaks, grand juries, the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One deal.

>Barr said Durham would now be taking over Huber's role in handling any criminal referrals from Horowitz and Huber's involvement with Trump-Russia matters was done.

Eric Holder Reveals Deep State Running Scared - Kevin Shipp

Former CIA officer and counter-intelligence expert Kevin Shipp says that former Obama Administration Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder gave a big Deep State panic signal when he wrote in an Op-Ed last week in the Washington Post trashing current AG William Barr and his top prosecutor John Durham. Shipp explains, "This is very significant. We all remember that Holder was Obama's right hand man. Eric Holder was Barack Obama's enforcer. The fact that Holder comes out this quickly after the Inspector General (IG) Horowitz Report comes out . . . and makes this veiled threat against Durham's reputation. The fact that Eric Holder came out and made this statement is a clear indication to me they are running scared. We have to understand it was Eric Holder that Barack Obama used to target the heads of corporations that spoke out publicly about Barack Obama. We know Holder was held in 'Contempt of Congress.' He spied on AP reporters, ran guns to drug cartels and blacked out the information. He spied on over a hundred journalists, and on and on we go. . . . They (Deep State) are convinced there are going to be indictments. Secondly, there is AG Barr's outrage over (IG) Horowitz's report and what it did not do. He made statements that there was spying and actions by government officials that need to be criminally looked into. Barr's outrage over this shows me that there are going to be indictments, and that he is taking this seriously. Again, when Holder comes out and puts out this bombshell in the Washington Post, which is another indication that indictments are coming. John Brennan, former Obama Administration CIA Director, is going to be at the top of the list."

Shipp says during the entire Trump Presidency, the mainstream media (MSM) has operated as a propaganda arm of the Deep State and the Democrats. Shipp contends, "They put these stories out intentionally because they are creating their own story, and that is what the propaganda mainstream media does. It creates its own story. . . .They want to frame their latest story that there really wasn't any spying on Trump. That's what FISA warrants and applications are all about. They are all about spying."

Shipp thinks this will be a big nail in the coffin of the MSM. Shipp says, "The mainstream media will never come back from this because finally, through shows like this and others, the real information is coming out as to what the mainstream media has done. At the top of that list is the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC. . . . What they did is they created the Russia collusion story as if it was reality, as if it was real. That is part of the procedure in doing this. Then, they invented the evidence, and that was the Steele Dossier. They portrayed this as evidence to create this false narrative. Then they sent this story out to each outlet, and all repeat the same story over and over and over again knowing the more they repeat it, the more people were going to believe it. Then, the FBI leaked information to the mainstream media. The FBI took that information leaked to the media and used their stories as evidence. Brennan leaked the dossier to the mainstream media as part of this whole machine."

Shipp says the hoax of Russia collusion and the impeachment sham of President Trump is distracting us from other very big problems such as the extreme debt the country and the world is facing. Shipp says, "Trump inherited a financial monster that was not his doing. When he was sworn into office, it already existed. It is very serious, and I think now or very soon the U.S. government will not be able to afford the interest on the national debt, much less paying off the debt itself."

It is reported that central banks are buying record amounts of gold, and even Goldman Sachs is telling its clients to buy the yellow metal. Shipp says, "This is a solid indicator that we are headed for the financial rapids with Goldman Sachs especially. Goldman Sachs is a global bank, and it's one of the main banks in the United States. The fact that Sachs and others are building up gold reserves is a clear indication that they expect a financial downturn, to put it mildly, that is coming."

>In a March 29 letter to Republican committee chairmen, Mr. Sessions said that Mr. Huber, the U. S. Attorney for Utah, had been appointed to "evaluate certain issues" raised by the GOP. He did not say which issues, but there are plenty.
>These included actions by Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch and others, email controversies, mishandling of classified information, Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier, FISA warrants, wire taps, leaks, grand juries, the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One deal.
https://www.judicialwatch.org/investigative-bulletin/clinton-comey-uranium-one-john-w-huber/
>Barr said Durham would now be taking over Huber's role in handling any criminal referrals from Horowitz and Huber's involvement with Trump-Russia matters was done.
>"The other issues [Huber has] been working on relate to Hillary Clinton" are "winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," Barr said.

Q Research General #9578: Rout Out The Den Of Vipers Edition

Eric Holder Sends Warning to John Durham, Says William Barr 'Unfit' to be Attorney General, in WaPo Op-Ed

...As a former line prosecutor, U.S. attorney and judge, I found it alarming to hear Barr comment on an ongoing investigation, led by John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, into the origins of the Russia probe. And as someone who spent six years in the office Barr now occupies, it was infuriating to watch him publicly undermine an independent inspector general report - based on an exhaustive review of the FBI's conduct - using partisan talking points bearing no resemblance to the facts his own department has uncovered.

When appropriate and justified, it is the attorney general's duty to support Justice Department components, ensure their integrity and insulate them from political pressures. His or her ultimate loyalty is not to the president personally, nor even to the executive branch, but to the people - and the Constitution - of the United States.

Career public servants at every level of the Justice Department understand this - as do leaders such as FBI Director Christopher A. Wray and Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Their fidelity to the law and their conduct under pressure are a credit to them and the institutions they serve.

Others, like Durham, are being tested by this moment. I've been proud to know John for at least a decade, but I was troubled by his unusual statement disputing the inspector general's findings. Good reputations are hard-won in the legal profession, but they are fragile; anyone in Durham's shoes would do well to remember that, in dealing with this administration, many reputations have been irrevocably lost.

This is certainly true of Barr, who was until recently a widely respected lawyer. I and many other Justice veterans were hopeful that he would serve as a responsible steward of the department and a protector of the rule of law.

Eric Holder: William Barr is unfit to be attorney general

Strzok didn't like Holder, texting one day that he'd been sitting in front of a portrait of Attorney General Elliot Richardson, who resigned in 1973 rather than fire the special prosecutor during Watergate in what law enforcement officials believe was a heroic act.

"It's next to the portrait of Eric Holder, which is wildly offensive," Strzok wrote.

And when Holder spoke at the Democratic National Convention, Strzok texted: "Oh God, Holder! Turn it off turn it off!

Others, like Durham, are being tested by this moment. I've been proud to know John for at least a decade, but I was troubled by his unusual statement disputing the inspector general's findings. Good reputations are hard-won in the legal profession, but they are fragile; anyone in Durham's shoes would do well to remember that, in dealing with this administration, many reputations have been irrevocably lost.

This is certainly true of Barr, who was until recently a widely respected lawyer. I and many other Justice veterans were hopeful that he would serve as a responsible steward of the department and a protector of the rule of law.
Virtually since the moment he took office, though, Barr's words and actions have been fundamentally inconsistent with his duty to the Constitution. Which is why I now fear that his conduct - running political interference for an increasingly lawless president - will wreak lasting damage.

The American people deserve an attorney general who serves their interests, leads the Justice Department with integrity and can be entrusted to pursue the facts and the law, even - and especially - when they are politically inconvenient and inconsistent with the personal interests of the president who appointed him. William Barr has proved he is incapable of serving as such an attorney general. He is unfit to lead the Justice Department.

It's also particularly ironic in light of the attorney general's comments this week, in which he attacked the FBI and the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General - two vital components of his own department. Having spent the majority of my career in public service, I found it extraordinary to watch the nation's chief law enforcement official claim - without offering any evidence - that the FBI acted in "bad faith" when it opened an inquiry into then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign. As a former line prosecutor, U.S. attorney and judge, I found it alarming to hear Barr comment on an ongoing investigation, led by John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, into the origins of the Russia probe. And as someone who spent six years in the office Barr now occupies, it was infuriating to watch him publicly undermine an independent inspector general report - based on an exhaustive review of the FBI's conduct - using partisan talking points bearing no resemblance to the facts his own department has uncovered.

When appropriate and justified, it is the attorney general's duty to support Justice Department components, ensure their integrity and insulate them from political pressures. His or her ultimate loyalty is not to the president personally, nor even to the executive branch, but to the people - and the Constitution - of the United States.
Career public servants at every level of the Justice Department understand this - as do leaders such as FBI Director Christopher A. Wray and Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Their fidelity to the law and their conduct under pressure are a credit to them and the institutions they serve.

Eric Holder: William Barr is unfit to be attorney general

As a former U.S. attorney general, I am reluctant to publicly criticize my successors. I respect the office and understand just how tough the job can be.

But recently, Attorney General William P. Barr has made a series of public statements and taken actions that are so plainly ideological, so nakedly partisan and so deeply inappropriate for America's chief law enforcement official that they demand a response from someone who held the same office.

Last month, at a Federalist Society event, the attorney general delivered an ode to essentially unbridled executive power, dismissing the authority of the legislative and judicial branches - and the checks and balances at the heart of America's constitutional order. As others have pointed out, Barr's argument rests on a flawed view of U.S. history. To me, his attempts to vilify the president's critics sounded more like the tactics of an unscrupulous criminal defense lawyer than a U.S. attorney general.

When, in the same speech, Barr accused "the other side" of "the systematic shredding of norms and the undermining of the rule of law," he exposed himself as a partisan actor, not an impartial law enforcement official. Even more troubling - and telling - was a later (and little-noticed) section of his remarks, in which Barr made the outlandish suggestion that Congress cannot entrust anyone but the president himself to execute the law.

In Barr's view, sharing executive power with anyone "beyond the control of the president" (emphasis mine), presumably including a semi-independent Cabinet member, "contravenes the Framers' clear intent to vest that power in a single person." This is a stunning declaration not merely of ideology but of loyalty: to the president and his interests. It is also revealing of Barr's own intent: to serve not at a careful remove from politics, as his office demands, but as an instrument of politics - under the direct "control" of President Trump.

Not long after Barr made that speech, he issued what seemed to be a bizarre threat to anyone who expresses insufficient respect for law enforcement, suggesting that "if communities don't give that support and respect, they might find themselves without the police protection they need." No one who understands - let alone truly respects - the impartial administration of justice or the role of law enforcement could ever say such a thing. It is antithetical to the most basic tenets of equality and justice, and it undermines the need for understanding between law enforcement and certain communities and flies in the face of everything the Justice Department stands for.

Q Research General #9572: Killin it With a Smile!! Edition

Horowitz couldn't rule it rule our bias, didn't have enough info, my thoughts just say that Horowitz! Damn

Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz appeared to admit Wednesday that political bias was a possible factor in the abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Horowitz concluded in his report that political bias did not play a role in the FBI's decision to start an investigation into possible Russian involvement in the Trump campaign.

However, under questioning by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) before the Senate Judiciary Committee Horowitz said that his investigation could not rule out bias in later stages of the FBI's investigation.

Lee: Isn't the lack of evidence on bias, evidence that we really should take as bias? But it's - in any event, its certainly not itself indicative that no bias occurred, isn't that correct?

Horowitz: As to the opening [of the investigation], which is in a different place than the FISA issues that you have identified and I talked about earlier, I think it is two different situations. On the FISA side, we found, as you noted, a lack of documentary and testimonial evidence about intentionality, but we noted the lack of satisfactory explanations, and in fact, leave open the possibility, for the reasons you indicated, it is unclear what the motivations were. ==On the one hand, gross incompetence, negligence; on the other hand intentionality, and we're in between - we weren't in a position with the evidence we had, to make that conclusion, but we are not ruling it out==

Lee: My point here - the lack of evidence here is not evidence that there is no bias

Horowitz: I am solely basing it - correct - on the actual evidence that we have

Lee: Okay. Thank you very much.

Both Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducing a criminal investigation of the FBI's conduct, have said publicly that the differ with Horowitz about the lack of political bias in starting the investigation.

Later, Horowitz reiterated that he and his staff "couldn't reach a conclusion about what motivated" the FISA abuse.

Q Research General #9571: Hor Witz is Relative! Edition

Cruz mocks FBI on Russia probe: 'This wasn't Jason Bourne. This was Beavis and Butt-Head'
https://youtu.be/_ny0GtrO2E4

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, let it be known Wednesday that he isn't impressed with the FBI's and the Department of Justice's handling of the Trump-Russia investigation – saying those involved were hardly the type of skillful agents found in an action thriller movie.

"What was going on here – this wasn't Jason Bourne, this was Beavis and Butt-Head," Cruz said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

Cruz's pop culture reference was only the highlight of a lengthy tirade where he bashed the conduct of some FBI agents and Justice Department (DOJ) employees during the Trump-Russia probe.

The hearing, which featured the testimony of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, came two days after a report identified significant problems with applications to receive and renew warrants to eavesdrop on a former Trump campaign aide in 2016 and 2017.

Cruz called the report a "stunning indictment of the FBI and the Department of Justice, of a pattern of abusive power." He also said the facts in the report "should be deeply chilling" to anyone who understands them and that the errors made "are grotesque abuses of power."

While Horowitz said on Wednesday that he is concerned that "so many basic and fundamental errors" were made by the FBI, his report found that the FBI's actions were not motivated by partisan bias and that the investigation was opened for a proper cause.

"I think the activities we found don't vindicate anybody who touched" the warrant applications, Horowitz said.

Democrats have seized on the inspector general's conclusion that the investigation was not tainted by political motivations. But Republicans say the findings show the investigation was fatally flawed. Attorney General William Barr, a vocal defender of President Trump, said the FBI investigation was based on a "bogus narrative" and he declined to rule out that agents may have acted in bad faith.

Horowitz told senators that the FBI failed to follow its own standards for accuracy and completeness when it sought a warrant from the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to monitor the communications of ex-campaign aide Carter Page.

The report detailed 17 errors and omissions during those wiretap applications, including failing to tell the court when questions were raised about the reliability of some of the information that it had presented to receive the warrants.

"We are deeply concerned that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, hand-picked investigative teams, on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations, after the matter had been briefed to the highest levels within the FBI," Horowitz said.

Fox News' Adam Shaw and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Attorney General Barr: FBI Ignored Exculpatory Evidence, Hid Information to Continue Trump Investigation

During a portion of an interview with NBC's Pete Williams that aired on Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," Attorney General William Barr said the FBI ignored exculpatory evidence when obtaining FISA warrants in the investigation of any possible Trump campaign ties with Russia.

Barr said, "From day one - remember, they said, okay, we're not going to talk to the campaign. We're going to put people in there, rile them up and have conversations with people involved in the campaign because that way, we'll get the truth. From the very first day of this investigation, which is July 31st, 2016, all the way to its end, September 2017, there was not one incriminatory bit of evidence to come in. It was all exculpatory. The people with the tapings denied it with Russia, denied the specific facts that the FBI was relying on. So what happens? The FBI ignores it, presses ahead, withholds that information from the court, withholds critical exculpatory information from the court while it gets an electronic surveillance warrant. It also withholds from the court clear cut evidence that the dossier that they ultimately relied on to get the FISA warrant was a complete sham."

He continued,
=="They hid information about the lack of the liability, even when they went the first time for the warrant. But in January, after the election, the entire case collapsed when the principal source says I never told this. I never told Steele this stuff. And this was also speculation. And I have zero information to support this stuff. At that point, when their entire case collapsed, what do they do? They kept on investigating the president well into his administration after the case collapsed.

But here to me is the damning thing: They not only didn't tell the court that what they had been relying on was completely, you know, rubbish, they actually started putting in things to bolster this Steele report by saying we talked to the sources and they appeared to be truthful. But they don't inform the court what they're truthful about is that the dossier is false. So that's hard to explain. And the core statement, in my opinion by the IG, is that these irregularities, these misstatements, these omissions were not satisfactorily explained and that leaves open the possibility to infer bad faith

William Barr: FBI Falsified Documents to Continue Spying on Trump & Co. After Election

Attorney General William Barr says the FBI falsified documents to continue its surveillance of President Donald Trump and his associates after winning the 2016 election, revealing a detail not found in the Inspector General's review of the Bureau's "Crossfire Hurricane" operation in a Tuesday interview with NBC News reporter Pete Williams.

PETE WilliamS: What questions will John Durham address that the IG didn't?

ATTORNEY GENERAL William Barr: Durham is looking at the whole waterfront. He is looking at the issue of how it got started. He's looking at whether or not the narrative of Trump being involved in the Russia interference actually preceded July and was it, in fact, the precipitating trigger for the investigation. He's also looking at the conduct of the investigation. There were some things done in the investigation that are not included in Horowitz's report. He's looking at those things. But also, a few weeks ago, I told him that he should spend just as much attention on the post-election period. I did that because of some of the stuff that Horowitz has uncovered, which, to me, inexplicable.

WilliamS: Such as?

ATTORNEY GENERAL Barr: Their case collapsed after the election and they never told the court. They kept on getting renewals on these applications. There were documents falsified in order to get these renewals. There were all kinds of withholding of information from the court. The question really is: "What was the agenda after the election?" They kept on pressing ahead after their case collapsed. This is the President of the United States.

He continued, "I think that there were gross abuses of FISA. And inexplicable behavior that are intolerable in the FBI. And the attorney general's primary responsibility is to protect against the abuse of the law enforcement and intelligence apparatus. And make sure that it doesn't."

And we're not going to cut corners in that respect.You know there are some people who think this thing is going to drop in a few weeks. That's not the case.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The Attorney General William Barr is speaking at a Wall Street Journal CEO conference right now. I got some audio sound bites here. One of the things that he also said, he gave an exclusive interview to NBC News. He thinks the FBI may have acted in bad faith in the Trump investigation.
He said: "I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative." This was in an interview he did with Pete Williams of NBC. In the interview, Barr essentially dismissed the findings of the inspector general that there was no evidence of bias, and he said that his handpicked prosecutor, John Durham, will have the last word on the matter.
"I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by an irresponsible press." This guy knows exactly what happened, and he is showing guts and courage I can't - folks, I cannot tell you. It's based on my answer to our caller in the last 15 minutes how serious and big an attempt at upsetting the power structure of Washington, D.C., and New York and Brussels and London and all of these European capitals where much of the deep state is also headquartered, where the globalist movement is, to eventually disintegrate the U.S. Constitution, Bill Barr is taking it on with Durham courageously and bravely.
It is true patriotism, and it's true guts and courage 'cause it is a bigger undertaking than you can possibly imagine. It's not just indicting James Comey or Clapper or Brennan and putting them on trial. It's much bigger because they are just foot soldiers in all of this. So for Barr to be saying this on the day of and the day after this report comes out, he's basically saying that Horowitz doesn't get it, everything in this thing in terms of motivation is dead wrong. He says, "I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by an irresponsible press."
They were not irresponsible, they were complicit. Now, that may mean irresponsible. They were complicit. The media is part of the administrative state, deep state, whatever you want to call it. The media is also among the targets here.
"The blistering criticism of the FBI's conduct in the Russia investigation ... is bound to stoke further controversy about whether the attorney general is acting in good faith, or as a political hatchet man for Trump." He's acting in good faith but he's not a hatchet man at all. The man is a patriot, and he is representing all of us. He's out there showing guts and courage and trying to inspire others to get on board and follow him.

U.S. senators threaten Facebook, Apple with encryption regulation

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. senators grilled Apple Inc and Facebook Inc executives over their encryption practices on Tuesday and threatened to regulate the technology unless the companies make encrypted user data accessible to law enforcement.

At a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Democrats and Republicans presented a rare united front as they invoked child abuse and mass shooting cases in which encryption has blocked access to key evidence and stymied investigations.

"You're going to find a way to do this or we're going to go do it for you," said Senator Lindsey Graham. "We're not going to live in a world where a bunch of child abusers have a safe haven to practice their craft. Period. End of discussion."

Facebook has been wrestling with multiple governments since announcing its plan to extend end-to-end encryption across its messaging services earlier this year. Its WhatsApp messaging app is already encrypted.

In October, U.S. Attorney General William Barr and law enforcement chiefs of the United Kingdom and Australia called on the world's biggest social network not to proceed with its plan unless law enforcement officials are given backdoor access.

Facebook rejected that call in a letter signed by WhatsApp head Will Cathcart and Messenger head Stan Chudnovsky which it released along with the company's written testimony.

"The 'backdoor' access you are demanding for law enforcement would be a gift to criminals, hackers and repressive regimes," they wrote. "That is not something we are prepared to do."

Apple weathered a legal fight over encryption in 2016, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation sought access to an iPhone owned by a slain sympathizer of Islamic State in San Bernardino, California, who had murdered county employees.

That stand helped bolster the company's reputation for protecting user privacy, while Facebook has been mired in a series of scandals in recent years over its handling of personal data.

In their testimony, Facebook's messaging privacy chief Jay Sullivan traded barbs with Apple privacy head Erik Neuenschwander, each suggesting lawmakers focus their scrutiny on the other company's business.

Sullivan said repeatedly that Facebook does not build devices or operating systems, and suggested the company was open to "on-device scanning" proposals that would automatically identify matches for illegal content.

"We don't have forums for strangers to contact each other … and our business doesn't have us scanning material of our users to build profiles of them," said Neuenschwander.

Lindsey Graham: FBI Ran 'Criminal Enterprise to Defraud the FISA Court'

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Monday excoriated the FBI's investigation into now-debunked collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia as a "criminal enterprise."

Graham made the stinging remarks following the Justice Department inspector general report's release in which 17 "significant inaccuracies and omissions" involving three applications filed under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act were detailed. The report, authored by DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz, stated the inaccuracies likely led to the FBI's justification to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

"I believe there will be no debate among reasonably minded people, particularly lawyers, about how the system got off the rails, but in my view became a criminal enterprise to defraud the FISA court, to deny American citizen Carter Page his constitutional rights, and to continue an operation against President Trump as president of the United States," he said.

"These are statements I don't make lightly," he added.

The FBI included unverified information from former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele in its application seeking a warrant to wiretap Page. After a sub-source of Steele's raised doubt on the information regarding Page, the FBI withheld the concerns from the FISA court, said the report.

Although Horowitz harshly criticized the FBI's conduct, he ruled that the officials overseeing the investigation were not tainted by political bias and their information was "sufficient to satisfy the low threshhold" to launch the probe.

Attorney General William Barr issued a statement condemning the report's conclusions, saying it proved the FBI launched an "intrusive" probe into the Trump campaign on "the thinnest of suspicions."

"It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory," Barr said. "Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration."

Crossfire Hurricane in a teacup? IG report exposes gaping chasm between Russiagate inquiry and reality

The long-awaited report on the origins of Russiagate shows the intelligence community played fast and loose with the truth to build its case against candidate Donald Trump and inflate the specter of Russian election interference.

The report by the Department of Justice's Inspector General (DOJ IG) "makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a US presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken," Attorney General William Barr said in a statement following the report's publication on Monday. Despite the clear efforts by a handful of malicious FBI officials to mislead the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court, he continued, the "evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory."

While praising IG Michael Horowitz's work, Barr made it clear he disagrees with its essential conclusion - that all the prerequisites were properly met in order to launch July 2016's counterintelligence inquiry into purported Russian election meddling, dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane."

Horowitz's report analyzed the launch of Crossfire Hurricane through surveillance of four Trump campaign figures - Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Paul Manafort, and Michael Flynn - "to determine whether individual(s) associated with the Trump campaign are witting of and/or coordinating activities with the Government of Russia."

The entire probe was based on nothing more than a "friendly foreign government" tip about Papadopoulos claiming to have heard from Russia about juicy information on Hillary Clinton. That claim, plus "the FBI's ongoing cyber intrusion investigation of the July 2016 hacks of the Democratic National Committee," provided all the justification needed to surveil the Trump campaign going forward, even though the FBI acknowledged there was little by way of probable cause to suggest Page, at least, was acting as a foreign agent.

Some 17 total errors and omissions were found in the FISA documentation for Page alone, and the FBI's willingness to take the reporting of British spy Christopher Steele at face value in order to provide justification for surveilling Page - in the total absence of any corroborating information in its files, and compounded by the omission of contradictory information - requires a sizable suspension of disbelief.

The report highlights an internal conflict over the centrality of the unsubstantiated Steele Dossier, which played a starring role in the Russiagate narrative despite its dubious provenance. It was even included in the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) used to brief then-president Barack Obama and candidate Trump, even as former CIA director John Brennan flatly denied having relied upon the dossier "in any way" in court filings, applications, or other procedures.

Department of Justice Attorney General William Barr responded Monday to the release of the DOJ Inspector General's report stating that the FBI 'launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken."

Barr blasted the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane team that led the investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign and the evidence uncovered by Inspector General Michael Horowitz that the bureau agents withheld exculpatory information from the secret court, failed to adequately vet the information supplied by former British spy Christopher Steele and moved forward to spy on the Trump campaign knowing they misled the FISA court.

...the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General's report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process, Attorney General William Barr

"The Inspector General's report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken," said Barr. "It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration."

"In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source," Barr said. "The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General's report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process."

Barr said "FISA is an essential tool for the protection of the safety of the American people. The Department of Justice and the FBI are committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to rectify the abuses that occurred and to ensure the integrity of the FISA process going forward."

He noted that FBI Director Christopher Wray is "dismayed about the handling of these FISA applications."

Attorney General: Surveillance of Trump Campaign 'a Clear Abuse of the FISA Process'

Attorney General William Barr announced on Dec. 9 that the surveillance operation against the Trump campaign in 2016 amounted to a "clear abuse" of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process.

Barr made the remarks in a statement responding to the Justice Department inspector general's report on the handling of the FISA applications for warrants to spy on Trump-campaign associate Carter Page.

"In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source," Barr said.

"The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General's report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process."

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded in a report released on Dec. 9 that the four applications for warrants to spy on Page contained 17 significant errors. The errors and other failures amounted to "serious performance failures by the supervisory and non-supervisory agents."

Barr said FBI Director Wray is "dismayed" by the handling of the FISA applications. Wray is expected to announce a comprehensive set of reforms on Dec. 9, according to Barr.

The FBI launched a counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign in late July 2016. Barr concluded that the investigation was "intrusive" and was initiated based "on the thinnest of suspicions." The suspicions were "insufficient" to justify the steps the bureau went on to take, Barr said.

"Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration," Barr said.

In late October 2016, the FBI secured a FISA warrant to surveil Page. The bureau renewed the warrant three times, surveilling Page for a total of twelve months.

The FISA warrant application featured claims from an unverified dossier of opposition research on Trump. Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele compiled the dossier by using second- and third-hand sources with ties to the Kremlin.

"Steele himself was not the originating source of any of the factual information in his reporting. Steele instead relied on a Primary Sub-source for information, who used his/her network of sub-sources to gather information that was then passed to Steele," the inspector general's report said.

The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee ultimately paid for Steele's work, a fact the FBI did not disclose in the warrant application.

While the extent of the surveillance granted in Page's case remains classified, FISA warrants allow for some of the most intrusive spying under the law. Under the so-called "two-hop" rule, investigators could collect the communications of every person Page interacted with as well every person who communicated with Page's contacts. As a result, it is possible that the FBI obtained the communications of the entire Trump campaign, both retroactively and in real-time.

A number of FBI officials directly involved in preparing and signing the FISA warrants have all either left or been fired from the bureau, including Director James Comey, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok.

The scandal surrounding the surveillance warrants was amplified by the discovery of biased text messages between Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was having an extramarital affair. Strzok and Page vented their hatred of Trump, spoke of his slim chances of winning the election, committed to stopping him from being elected, discussed an "insurance policy" in the unlikely event of a Trump victory and mulled "impeachment" once around the time they joined special counsel Robert Mueller's team.

Strzok led the investigation of the Trump campaign and the probe of Hillary Clinton's use of an unauthorized private email server for government work. In a report on the review of the Clinton-email probe, Horowitz concluded that Strzok and Page's biased messages "cast a cloud" over the investigation, but was unable to find evidence to support the claim that the bias had an effect on any investigative decisions.

Horowitz formally announced the investigation into the Carter Page FISA in March 2018. He submitted a draft report to the DOJ in September. Horowitz said at the time that his team reviewed more than 1 million documents and interviewed more than 100 witnesses.

The Department of Justice Inspector General's 434 page report is still being reviewed by congressional representatives less than two hours after its publication but speculation is rising as to what will be the next steps the Department of Justice will take to ensure it doesn't happen again.

While Inspector General Michael Horowitz listed significant malfeasance within the FBI's 'Crossfire Hurricane' investigation into Trump's campaign, his investigation was limited. It appears the answer to what may happen next lies with DOJ appointed Connecticut Attorney John Durham.
In a rare public statement Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origin of the FBI's investigation, stated frankly that he had spoke to Durham about issues pertaining to his report and apparent evidence Durham's team has collected regarding the origination of the bureau's probe.

"I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff," stated Durham. "However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened."

Last month, Durham changed his investigation into the origin of the FBI probe into Trump from an administrative review to a criminal probe. The decision came after reports surfaced that Durham had traveled to Italy where he, along with Barr, met with top officials in Italian intelligence.

Durham has also interviewed sources in London, England and Australia, according to reports.

The information gleaned from Durham's investigation is thus far unknown but based on his travels and interviews with foreign intelligence officials it is believed that he is investigating the roles of confidential human informants and how these foreign intelligence agencies may have provided a work around for the FBI to spy on members of the Trump campaign, according to sources.
Last month, SaraACarter.com reported that Durham had expanded his probe to the Pentagon's office of Net Assessment, which contracted FBI informant Stephan Halper to reports. It is believed that the Pentagon's office was used as a

Multiple sources confirmed to this news site that Durham spoke extensively with sources working in the Office of Net Assessment, as well as outside contractors, that were paid through Pentagon office.

Department of Justice officials declined to comment on Durham's probe.

In 2016, Halper was an integral part of the FBI's investigation into short-term Trump campaign volunteer, Carter Page and George Papadopolous. Halper first made contact with Page at his seminar in July 2016. Page, who was already on the FBI's radar, was accused at the time of being sympathetic to Russia. Halper stayed in contact with Page until September 2017.

During that time, the FBI sought and obtained a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to spy on Page and used Halper to collect information on him, according to sources.
It is further alleged that Halper may have secretly recorded his conversations with Page and Papadopolous. Some congressional officials believe that if recordings exist they were kept from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and would be exculpatory evidence that would've exonerated Page from the FISA warrant and allegations that Papadopolous was attempting to seek any help from the Russians with regard to Hillary Clinton's emails.

Moreover, this news site also learned that the Pentagon sent Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley's committee the information it requested in July, regarding Halper's contracts and the Office of Net Assessment. Grassley sent the request in a letter to Department of Defense Acting Secretary Mark Esper, after a Pentagon Inspector General investigation discovered that the office failed to conduct appropriate oversight of the contracts. Grassley urged Esper for the information.

"The committee is currently reviewing information received recently from the Pentagon, in response to Grassley's request," said Taylor Foy, a spokesman for the committee. Foy confirmed Grassley is continuing to investigate the matter.

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report will reveal that significant evidence was withheld from the court in the FBI's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application to gather communications on a short term volunteer for President Donald Trump's campaign, according to sources familiar with the report.

The sources noted that Horowitz's report will reveal that the FBI misled the court when they applied for the application and its findings contradict a past report submitted by now Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff that there was no abuse by the FBI in regard to the FISA.

Further, the revelations may lead Horowitz to spin off on a new investigation into whether or not the FBI is following its Woods procedure as required. The procedures stipulate that every fact must be vetted before a warrant is submitted to the secret court to spy on an American.

"There were omissions of evidence," said one source. "There are significant problems discovered by Horowitz in his investigation. If Attorney General William Barr wants, he can actually withdraw the FISA as a symbolic motion, if he does not believe it's valid."

Further, the apparent failure to follow the Woods Procedures by the bureau in the case of Page will be significant. The FBI safe-guard procedures were named after FBI official Michael Woods. Woods drafted the rules when he was head of the Office of General Counsel's National Security Law Unit and his procedures went into effect in 2001.
It was to "ensure accuracy with regard to ... the facts supporting probable cause" because the FBI had significant recurring problems with evidence - that was found to be inaccurate - that it presented to the FISA court.
Trump campaign adviser Carter Page's FISA warrant is central to Horowitz's report and sources have told SaraACarter.com that exculpatory information was also withheld from the court on his application.
Here's what Schiff issued in his memo on January, 29, 2018 and it appears that his Democrat memo was not accurate according to the sources who spoke to this reporter.

JOHN SOLOMON: IG Report Lays Out "Incontrovertible Evidence" Obama FBI Misled FISA Court

According to award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon, the DOJ Inspector General's report into Spygate lays out "incontrovertible evidence" that Obama's FBI misled the FISA court with false information and omissions.

The IG report is expected to be released Monday at 1 PM ET, however sources have told John Solomon that the lies and omissions were so egregious that Attorney General Bill Barr may actually withdraw the FBI's application for the FISA warrants on Carter Page that began in October of 2016.

Via John Solomon:

The evidence that the judges were misled is so sweeping that it could provide grounds, if Attorney General William Barr chooses, to withdraw the FBI's application for the surveillance warrants that began in October 2016 to target ex-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, the sources added.

"The evidence of false statements, false information, deception through omission is going to raise an important debate about FISA," one source told me.

The report is expected to conclude the FBI's decision to open a counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia in 2016 was adequately predicated but that its subsequent reliance on the so-called Steele dossier and execution of FISA warrants to assist the probe were problematic.

That reliance became even more troubling in early 2017 when the FBI conducted an interview with one of Christopher Steele's sources that raised further concerns about the reliability of a dossier that was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

One question, the sources said, is whether FBI officials with access to the facts failed to adequately divulge issues in the case to those officials who signed the warrant, which was approved Oct 21, 2016 and renewed three times in 2017.

According to investigative reporters Sara Carter and Paul Sperry, the IG report is expected to have several criminal referrals.

It is important to note that IG Michael Horowitz does not have the power to indict or impanel a grand jury, he can only criminally refer people for investigation.

Steele warned that IG report contains information previously blacked out, report says

Christopher Steele, the British ex-spy and author of the anti-Trump dossier, was reportedly told that the Justice Department will release information about him that was previously blacked out in the department's internal watchdog report on the investigation into President Trump's 2016 campaign due on Monday. The New York Times, citing two individuals with knowledge of the situation, reported that Attorney General William Barr approved the release of the previously redacted information in Michael Horowitz's 400-page report. The report called Steele's heads-up unusual and said he was not given any indication of whether the information would benefit or hurt him. An after-hours email from Fox News to the Justice Department was not immediately returned.

Steele is poised to be a notable figure in the Horowitz report because he provided opposition research into the Trump campaign's connections to Russia which was funded by Democrats and the Clinton campaign. Much of the Steele dossier has been proven discredited or unsubstantiated, including the dossier's claims that the Trump campaign was paying hackers in the United States out of a nonexistent Russian consulate in Miami, and that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen traveled to Prague to conspire with Russians. Special Counsel Robert Mueller also was unable to substantiate the dossier's claims that Carter Page, who worked on the Trump campaign, had received a large payment relating to the sale of a share of Rosneft, a Russian oil giant, or that a lurid blackmail tape involving the president existed. Horowitz's report, as described by people familiar with its findings, is expected to conclude there was an adequate basis for opening one of the most politically sensitive investigations in FBI history and one that Trump has denounced as a witch hunt. It began in secret during Trump's 2016 presidential run and was ultimately taken over by Mueller.

The report comes as Trump faces an impeachment inquiry in Congress centered on his efforts to press Ukraine to investigate a political rival, Democrat Joe Biden - a probe the president also claims is politically biased. Still, the release of Inspector General Michael Horowitz's review is unlikely to quell the partisan battles that have surrounded the Russia investigation for years. It's also not the last word: A separate internal investigation continues, overseen by Trump's attorney general, William Barr and led by a U.S. attorney, John Durham. That investigation is criminal in nature, and Republicans may look to it to uncover wrongdoing that the inspector general wasn't examining. Trump tweeted Sunday: "I.G. report out tomorrow. That will be the big story!"

Lawmakers Urge AG Barr to Prosecute Obscene Pornography Producers, Distributors

Four Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr to urge him to take action against producers and distributors of obscene pornography.

The letter, obtained by the National Review, was signed by Reps. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), and Brian Babin (R-Texas) and asks the Justice Department to enforce U.S. obscenity laws against the porn industry.

The congress members say the internet and evolving technologies are fueling an explosion in obscene pornography, which is coinciding with the increase of violence towards women and an increase in the volume of human trafficking as well as child pornography. Dr. Alvin Cooper, a sex research, said online pornography addiction is becoming a rising problem because the accessibility, affordability, anonymity provided by the internet makes the content more readily available, calling the phenomenon the "Triple A engine."

"Victims are not limited to those directly exploited ... and include society writ large. This phenomenon is especially harmful to youth, who are being exposed to obscene pornography at exponentially younger ages," they wrote in their letter dated Dec. 6 (pdf).

POTUS says he will hold off designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups

WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Friday he will temporarily hold off designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations at the request of Mexico's president.
Trump said last week he would make the designation to disrupt the drug cartels' finances by imposing sanctions such as asset freezes and travel bans.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador criticized the plan, saying he wanted cooperation with the United States on fighting drug gangs, not intervention.

"All necessary work has been completed to declare Mexican Cartels terrorist organizations," Trump said on Twitter.

"However, at the request of a man who I like and respect, and has worked so well with us, President Andres Manuel @lopezobrador we will temporarily hold off this designation and step up our joint efforts to deal decisively with these vicious and ever-growing organizations!" he said. A growing chorus of conservative voices in the United States has called for Mexican cartels to be classified as terrorist groups after the killing in Mexico last month of nine American mothers and children with dual Mexican nationality.

While the designation would not directly give the United States authority for military operations in Mexico, many Mexicans were nervous their northern neighbour could use it as a pretext for a unilateral intervention. Lopez Obrador said he welcomed Trump's move. "I welcome that he has taken our opinion into account. … It was a very good decision today to defer the designation," Lopez Obrador told reporters.

Trump's tweet reversing course came a day after U.S. Attorney General William Barr discussed the issue in meetings with Lopez Obrador, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard and other Mexican officials in Mexico City. The two sides "talked about cooperation in arms trafficking, money laundering, international drug trafficking and how to deal with transnational crime and international drug trafficking," Mexico's foreign ministry said in a statement.

Trump's threat to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist groups had also met resistance within his administration. Some U.S. officials privately expressed misgivings about the risk of damaging U.S. relations with Mexico and hindering the Mexican government's fight against drug trafficking, according to people familiar with the matter. Lopez Obrador has attempted to chart a non-confrontational security policy during his first year in office. His government says its priorities are disrupting the cartels' cash flows and money-laundering opportunities and halting illegal arms trafficking into Mexico from the United States.

Trump has repeatedly offered military assistance in the fight against drug gangs, which Lopez Obrador has always declined.

BREAKING: Judge Sides With Judicial Watch, Forcing Secret Barack Obama FBI-Clinton Collusion Communications To Be Released

posted by Daily Fodder Team on December 06, 2019
https://www.thedailyfodder.com/2019/12/breaking-judge-sides-with-judicial.html

By John Paluska, Founder of The Daily Fodder

A judge recently sided with Judicial Watch in a court proceeding that would force the FBI to comply with a FOIA request that would release secret conversations between a Barack Obama FBI/DOJ lawyer and a Former FBI lawyer now working for Hillary Clinton concerning the Russian Collusion Hoax Probe.
The judge, James E, Boasberg, rejected the argument by the FBI that Michael Sussmann, an Obama-era-DOJ-turned-Clinton lawyer, has "privilege" rights as Clinton's new attorney.

Michael Sussmann works with Perkins Coie, the firm responsible for the salacious, libelous, and thoroughly debunked Steele Dossier. While working for the FBI, he and then-FBI-Chief-Council James Baker, who played an important role in the Russia Collusion Hoax Probe had a series of conversations relating to the probe that were the subject of the Judicial Watch FOIA request. Michael Sussmann, in sworn testimony, has admitted to leaking documents to the press during the Russia Collusion Hoax Probe.

Sussmann and Baker also had multiple conversations concerning those leaked documents. However, he was also handling the investigation into the alleged DNC server hacks and also personally hired Christopher Steele. It is also speculated he acted as a "conduit" between Steele and the FBI. This means these conversations the FBI is attempting to keep buried could shine serious light on the inner workings of the Russia Collusion Hoax Probe.

Judicial Watch's court victory comes ahead of the release of Inspector General Horowitz's findings regarding the illegal actions taken by the Obama-controlled FBI to investigate President Trump during the 2016 election. The report is slated to be released this upcoming Monday, the same date Jerry Nadler quickly announced there would be the second day of the Democrat-lead Impeachment Pseudo-Debates.

In separate statements, William Barr has said there is a criminal investigation concerning the actions undertaken during the Russia Collusion Hoax Probe, and there have been reports of Deep State agents lawyering up. If Judicial Watch is able to release these conversations then there could be a real reckoning in the public's eye over Barack Obama, Democrats, the Intelligence Community, and their scheme to take down President Trump through a phony investigation based on a hoax. This could certainly help President Trump win reelection in 2020.

DOJ Said To Weigh Low-ball 1MDB Settlement-Goldman Shares Jump

Anyone who feared Goldman might suffer a massive fine or, worse, criminal penalties (possibly involving current and former senior executives such as Hillary Clinton's very close friend, Lloyd Blankfein) can breathe a sigh of relief. Goldman shares jumped 2.5% Friday morning after Bloomberg reported that the DoJ is seeking a settlement of between $1.5 billion and $2 billion for Goldman's involvement in the 1MDB affair.That substantially less than most analysts had anticipated. Earlier this year, senior Malaysian officials made a big show of demanding that Goldman pay back all of the money stolen from 1MDB with interest, as well as any fees that the bank collected for its work underwriting three separate bond offerings that helped seed the fund. In total, the sum demanded came out to about $7.5 billion.

We know now that senior Goldman bankers, including then-CEO Lloyd Blankfein, signed off on the deals, ignoring warnings from the compliance department about Malaysia's point man for the project, the mysterious financier Jho Low. Which may explain why even the DOJ is now rushing to get this episode in the history books.

Low is now an international fugitive, and at least one Goldman banker has pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government; a settlement could be announced as soon as next month (though the bank also faces charges in Malaysia), although BBG's sources warned that the terms of the deal could change.

It's unclear from the report whether the DoJ will also seek a guilty plea from the bank, which could be a game-changer if it happens.

The notion that the DoJ is going easy on Goldman is hardly a surprise. Attorney General William Barr has reportedly directly involved himself in the case, which is unusual because his former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, represents Goldman, and Barr had to secure a waiver to excuse this conflict.

But this type of special treatment would be nothing new to Goldman: After all, its alumni occupy some of the most powerful jobs in the world. Goldman is the very definition of 'too big to jail'.

Mexico, top U.S. law official Barr had 'good meeting' on cartel threat - president

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he and senior government officials had a "good meeting" with U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Thursday about the threat of Mexican drug cartels.
arr met various senior officials after U.S. President Donald Trump said last week he would designate the drug gangs as terrorist organizations in response to a series of bloody security breaches triggered by cartel gunmen.

"As a lawyer, he understands our constitution obligates us to adhere to the principles of cooperation for development and non-intervention in foreign affairs," Lopez Obrador said of Barr on Twitter. "In this way we will always be able to work together."
He did not provide more details. Tensions over the cartels intensified last month when suspected cartel hitmen massacred three women and six children of U.S.-Mexican origin in northern Mexico.

Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference ahead of the talks that they would focus on bilateral cooperation, and that officials would review a document that would serve as a point of reference. The two sides discussed their security priorities and among other topics, they "talked about cooperation in arms trafficking, money laundering, international drug trafficking and how to deal with transnational crime and international drug trafficking," Mexico's foreign ministry said in a statement. The Mexican officials who met Barr and U.S. Ambassador Christopher Landau included Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, Security Minister Alfonso Durazo and the head of the Navy Jose Rafael Ojeda.

The U.S. State Department said on Wednesday it was working with the Mexican government to identify the "appropriate tools" to help it tackle the threat posed by cartels. Designating groups as terrorist organizations aims to disrupt the finances of suspected members and their supporters via U.S. sanctions such as asset freezes and travel bans.

While it would not directly give the United States authority for military operations in Mexico, many Mexicans are nervous Trump could use it as a pretext for intervention.

Lopez Obrador has attempted to pursue a less confrontational approach to the gangs and has rejected any intervention. He has held out the prospect of cooperation with the United States but says his government has the wherewithal to tackle the problem.

US, Mexico in Meetings to Address Deadly Drug Cartel Threat

The threat of deadly Mexican drug cartels was addressed in Dec. 5 meetings between Mexico's government and U.S. Attorney General William Barr, with a focus on bilateral cooperation, according to Mexico's government.

The meetings come after President Donald Trump said late November that he would designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations for their role in the trafficking of narcotics and people. Trump's comments came in response to a series of bloody security breaches triggered by cartel gunmen.

Barr sat down with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and other senior officials. Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference the bilateral talks would focus on cooperation, and that during the meetings a document will be reviewed that will serve as a point of reference. No further details were provided.

"Mexico is one of our closest partners and we meet regularly on a broad range of issues of mutual concern," a U.S. State Department spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email on Dec. 5. "We do not discuss the contents of diplomatic conversations."

Hugo Rodriguez, deputy assistant secretary of state for Central America, said at a Dec. 4 briefing that the United States will "have to work with [Mexico] to find the tools that are going to be appropriate in the context.

"What we're looking to do is put at the service of the Government of Mexico any and all tools we have at our disposal to cooperate on the shared security challenge that the drug trafficking organizations pose," Rodriguez told reporters.

Rodriguez said efforts to get the cartels designated as foreign terrorists are something the United States has been "looking very closely at."

"I don't think we have any specifics to share at this point," Rodriguez said. "We're also in conversations with the Government of Mexico."

Tensions over the cartels intensified last month after suspected cartel hitmen massacred three women and six children of U.S.-Mexican nationality in northern Mexico.

Trump called the suspected hitman "monsters" and said that the United States is ready to get involved. He said recently that he had been working on getting the designation "for the last 90 days."

"If Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these monsters, the United States stands ready, willing & able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively," Trump said on Twitter. "The great new President of Mexico has made this a big issue, but the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army!"

Designating groups as foreign terrorist organizations enables the United States to disrupt the finances of suspected members and their supporters via U.S. sanctions like asset freezes and travel bans. It would not directly give the United States authority for military operations in Mexico.

Shifty Schiff Obtained Rudy Giuliani's Phone Records A Day After AG Barr and US Attorney Durham Traveled to Rome - What Was He After?

Representative Adam Schiff from California reported earlier this week that he had obtained the phone records of President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. The date of the phone records shows as September 30th. This also happens to be the Monday after the weekend that AG Barr and his US Attorney Durham went to Rome. What was Schiff after?

We discussed AG Barr's and US Attorney John Durham's meetings with Italians earlier this year. Bloomberg had reported:

Italy's spy chief Gennaro Vecchione met twice in August with U.S. Attorney General William Barr and prosecutor John Durham to help an investigation into the scandal involving President Donald Trump's possible ties to Russia, one of Italy's leading newspapers reported.

The first meeting took place on Aug. 15 at the U.S. Embassy in Rome, according to an article published Sunday by La Repubblica newspaper. The second happened on Aug. 27 and involved Vecchione, the head of Italy's Department of Information Security, as well as the chiefs of Italy's internal and external security agencies.

Both meetings were authorized by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Corriere della Sera reported earlier this week...

...During the first meeting, Barr and Durham asked Vecchione to reveal the whereabouts of Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud, according to La Repubblica...

...According to La Repubblica, Barr and Durham also demanded proof that Italy, led at the time by Matteo Renzi, took part in the international conspiracy to discredit Trump's campaign. In an interview published Sunday by La Stampa, Renzi dismissed the allegation as a "farce" and says he never met Mifsud.

At the Aug. 27 meeting with Barr and Durham, the heads of Italy's security services had nothing to say to support the theory, according to La Repubblica - despite Vecchione's initial promises.

We don't know where the August 27th meeting took place but later Jeff Carlson at the Markets Work reported that AG Barr and US Attorney Durham traveled to Rome on August 15th and September 27th -

John Durham, the U.S. attorney tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016, is expected to seek an interview with former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper following an expansion of his investigation.

It was reportedly the meetings Durham and Attorney General William Barr recently had in Rome-where they obtained new evidence-that were the impetus for the broadening of the scope of the probe.

According to Fox News' Catherine Herridge, her sources told her that Durham is now "very interested to question" Brennan and Clapper.

According to Herridge, the meetings "took place on Aug. 15 and Sept. 27, 2019, in Rome," and that it was during one or both of these trips, that Barr and Durham "gathered new evidence."

Ironically, Representative Adam Schiff reported this past week phone records related to President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani recorded on the Monday after Barr and Durham's trip to Italy, Monday September 30th, 2019.

Q Research General #9494: Nader n Buck goin down! (no homo?) NS Edition

Did Pelosi, Schiff And Nadler Read Federalist No. 65?

While Nancy Pelosi has been 'prayerful' during this impeachment inquiry process, Congressman Adam Schiff, HPSCI Chairman has been touting the Constitution and poor old Congressman Jerry Nadler, Chairman of the House Judiciary remains lost as he was forced to give up control of the impeachment process after the stupid hearing with Corey Lewandowski. Meanwhile...

Nadler, a lawyer himself, has previously railed against impeachment during the Clinton scandal, has invited 3 Constitutional lawyers as witnesses for his first impeachment hearing and the Republicans were only granted 1 witness. Seems Nadler needs several law classes and he and the others meaning Pelosi and Schiff should actually read Federalist No. 66. More on that later.

Nadler has called: Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law professor. His position on impeachment and argument is that President Trump can be impeached even without evidence of a crime. He published an article in The New Yorker in May of 2017 stating his argument which is all the actions of the president are a pattern and can be collectively used in sum as impeachable. Feldman has also called for a Special Counsel to be assigned to investigate Rudy Giuliani and AG William Barr.

Another Nadler witness is Pamela Karlan, a law professor at Stanford. Her concentration including being on the faculty at Stanford is voting rights and political processes. Karlan was on the Obama shortlist to be a Supreme Court Justice while her resume includes being an attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and was a commissioner on the California Fair Political Practices Commission. Outside of being known as snarky, she often quotes poetry in her classes. Karlan was one of the 42 legal scholars that signed a letter before Trump took office urging him to change his views on several issues and was very critical of his rhetoric.

The last Nadler witness is Michael Gerhardt, a law professor at the University of North Carolina. Gerhardt penned an article in the Atlantic stating that impeachment proceedings are fully legitimate. Gerhardt is also a CNN legal analyst and was once the deputy media director for Al Gore's senate campaign. Further, Gerhardt counseled Clinton on judicial selections and was Special Counsel to Senator Patrick Leahy on the nominations to the Supreme Court of Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

The only witness the Republicans were allowed to invite was Democrat and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley. Turley appears to be an okay feller when it comes to Constitutional law. He has provided testimony often on The Hill. He is often the 'go-to' person for being a Constitutional originalist and protector of separation of powers within government. Turley has called out the Democrats several times including over the Russia investigation. In a recent interview, Turley had this summary on the impeachment:

The fact is I think that this is the - well certainly the shortest investigation, it's certainly the thinnest evidentiary record, and it's the narrowest impeachment ever to go to the Senate, if they were to go on this record....did they prove something was contemptible or impeachable? Contemptible is not synonymous with impeachable. The President does set policy. They have three conversations, two of them directly, one with Senator Johnson, one with Ambassador Sondland, where Trump denies a quid pro quo....so you have a conflicted record. And the question is what do you need to remove a sitting president?...

Whether this is intentional or not, it seems designed to fail in the Senate.

Meanwhile back to Federalist No. 65:

Hamilton argued that the Senate was the body to hold the impeachment trial and not the Supreme Court where evidence of misconduct of public men was a violation of public trust, meaning that society is a victim of that violation. That misconduct would contain injuries to society itself. In Federalist No. 66, Hamilton went on to further argue that the impeachment proceedings would seldom fail to agitate the passion of the whole community and divide parties into less friendly factions stating it would become a condition and test of political strengths between warring political tribes.

It is no wonder that President Trump reminds the nation often of his accomplishments as they are hardly injurious to society, in fact just the opposite.

Former Counter-Intel Officer: Durham Needs To Bring Indictments

There is new evidence that U.S. Attorney John Durham is getting to the root of criminal abuses by senior U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials in their conspiracy to undermine the Trump campaign, transition and presidency. Mr. Durham's mandate from Attorney General William Barr – to uncover the seditious plot behind the Trump-Russia hoax, if pursued vigorously, will uncover the single greatest threat to the Constitution since the nation's founding.

Mr. Durham's apparent interest in FBI source Stefan Halper and the contract vehicles available to the Pentagon think tank, the Office of Net Assessments, for whom Halper worked, is an important clue.

Likewise, Mr. Durham's travel to Italy for talks with the Italian government and their intelligence service points to another possible clue concerning the mysterious Maltese academic, Joseph Mifsud.

For the purposes of the manufactured Trump-Russia hoax, one need only remember the associations of Halper with Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page – and Joseph Mifsud with George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy junior advisor – to the Trump campaign.

The intelligence agencies of the federal government are prohibited from targeting American organizations in the United States. Executive Order 12333, Section 2.9 states:

Undisclosed Participation in Organizations Within the United States. No one acting on behalf of agencies within the Intelligence Community may join or otherwise participate in any organization in the United States on behalf of any agency within the Intelligence Community without disclosing his intelligence affiliation to appropriate officials of the organization, except in accordance with procedures established by the head of the agency concerned and approved by the Attorney General. Such participation shall be authorized only if it is essential to achieving lawful purposes as determined by the agency head or designee. No such participation may be undertaken for the purpose of influencing the activity of the organization or its members except in cases where:
(a) The participation is undertaken on behalf of the FBI in the course of a lawful investigation; or
(b) The organization concerned is composed primarily of individuals who are not United States persons and is reasonably believed to be acting on behalf of a foreign power.

Appeals court rejects Trump DOJ request to resume executions

A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Monday denied the Justice Department's efforts to lift a temporary halt on four federal executions.

The department had appealed a trial judge's ruling last month that ordered a stay of the executions while a separate legal challenge to the Trump administration's new lethal injection protocol plays out.

The longest-running of the four lawsuits was filed 16 years ago, and the cases went dormant during the Obama administration amid a shortage of lethal injection drugs.

The first of the four executions was set for December 9. The only other federal death row prisoner with an upcoming execution received a stay from another circuit court.

In July, Attorney General William Barr announced that federal executions would resume with the launch of a new lethal injection protocol that utilizes a single drug, pentobarbital, in lieu of the previous three-drug "cocktail" that was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

Speculation About Upcoming IG Report Grows: Trump says Barr Was Misquoted Regarding Horowitz

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Justice Department Attorney General William Barr was misquoted in a recent news report, suggesting he was at odds with Inspector General Michael Horowitz's much anticipated upcoming report on the FBI's investigation into Russia. It's one of many stories speculating what the Horowitz investigation will reveal on Dec. 9, and whether or not there was malfeasance on the part of FBI officials charged with investigating Trump's campaign.

Trump made the statement to reporters at the NATO meeting in London Tuesday. Monday's story in the Washington Post was at odds with what the President heard and what he has been reading, he said.

The Post reported that Barr conflicted with Horowitz on his finding that the FBI had enough evidence to begin the investigation July 2016, into the Trump campaign. It is considered a major key finding of the report, according to publication.

However, Barr was not quoted in the story. Instead, the paper relied on associates close to Barr for the information so it is uncertain whether or not the Attorney General does disagree with Horowitz.

Trump said Barr was "quoted incorrectly."

"I do believe that because I'm hearing the [inspector general's] report is very powerful," said Trump. "But I'm hearing that by reading lots of different things, not from inside information. It's really from outside information. I think all we have to do is wait."
Justice Department Issues Statement

Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec issued a statement Monday night in response to the story, saying on Twitter that the public will soon have the opportunity to read the report.

"The Inspector General's investigation is a credit to the Department of Justice. His excellent work has uncovered significant information that the American people will soon be able to read for themselves."

"Rather than speculating, people should read the report for themselves next week, watch the Inspector General's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and draw their own conclusions about these important matters," she added.

Impeachment witness list loaded with Trump critics

House Democrats announced a list of four constitutional law experts who will testify at a Dec. 4 public impeachment hearing, and the panel will include pundits who have criticized the Trump administration and defended the impeachment proceedings. It also includes a witness who has criticized the impeachment investigation. The Democrats have summoned Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law School professor, to testify in Wednesday's hearing on the constitutional grounds for impeaching the president. Feldman was among the first people to suggest Trump was trying to bribe Ukrainian government officials into investigating his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. Democrats have adopted the term, which Feldman in September said constitutes an impeachable offense. "What makes Trump's alleged conduct so terrible is not that he froze aid to Ukraine for a policy purpose. What makes Trump's alleged conduct outrageous is the appearance that he was doing it for his own personal benefit," Feldman wrote for Bloomberg Opinion. Feldman has called for a new special counsel to investigate Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, and he also called on Democrats to make the often secretive impeachment proceedings more accessible to the public.

Stanford Law professor Pamela Karlan, a former Obama administration Justice Department official, is also a witness, Democrats announced Monday. Karlan is among 42 legal scholars who signed a letter before Trump took office urging him to change his views on a number of issues and criticizing his rhetoric. "Although we sincerely hope that you will take your constitutional oath seriously, so far you have offered little indication that you will," the letter said. "We feel a responsibility to challenge you in the court of public opinion, and we hope that those directly aggrieved by your administration will challenge you in the courts of law."

A third witness, Michael Gerhardt, is a University of North Carolina law school professor who wrote in the Atlantic that the impeachment proceedings are "fully legitimate." A fourth witness listed by Democrats, but possibly requested by the GOP, is George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley, who has criticized how Democrats have handled the impeachment process.

From an old Chill thread, Fiona Hill apparently had (maybe still has) clearance for Top Secret, NOFORN intel, which is the heaviest of heavy duty shit. NOFORN means no foreign national access allowed. So what's a dual citizen qualify as exactly? Made me wonder even more if there's something to my FISA question.

The FISA warrant was obtained through an FBI counter-terrorism investigation. In the Trump Era. The guy and his lawyers are saying it's crazy (I guess bc they're playing up the "American" side of his dual citizenship with Lebanon). But Honey Badger Barr don't give a fuck.

>Lawyers for Nassif Sami Daher, 28, want federal prosecutors to divulge the roots of the domestic surveillance investigation and relinquish evidence gathered while surveilling Daher, a self-described gas station employee who also delivers newspapers.

Best Part:

So if CAIR was blindsided and pissed off…what does that mean?

Back to Missy Fiona…would POTUS, General Flynn et al just randomly hire a known acolyte of Soros, a likely enemy combatant (terrorist) himself? Hell no, and her spiel on "Zion" be damned.

This timeline is most interdasting:
Nov 8: POTUS wins the election.
Nov 11: Fiona writes a cute little Brookings op-ed on Putin, mentions sex tapes on political oppo.
Nov 15: Fiona's on FOX crying to KT McFarland about Muh Russia (wish I could find the vid).
Nov 16/17: POTUS formally hires General Flynn as National Security Adviser, who eventually hires KT, then Fiona.
Nov 17: Admiral Rogers tells POTUS about the FISA fuckery at TT.
Nov 17: POTUS moves transition out of TT to NJ.
Nov 20: Clapper crying about Rogers going to see POTUS on the sly.
Nov 20: The Atlantic publishes a fluffy interview with Fiona crying about Muh Russia again.

Seems like Fiona was out there pushing hard for a job, and the /ourguys/ gave it to her. Why? NSA knew she knew about the Piss Dossier already and FISA-tapped her in the meantime? Maybe she was one of their Golden FISA Geese kek.

But basically I'm thinking that dual citizenship is another way of looking at "FISA goes both ways."

THEY FOUND SOMETHING! After US Attorney Durham Visited Rome Obama's Former CIA Director Brennan's Security Clearance Was Once Again Questioned

After AG Barr and US Attorney John Durham reportedly expanded their investigation into the beginnings of Russia collusion after their trips to Rome in August and September. At the same time, complaints of John Brennan holding a security clearance were back in the news.

Jeff Carlson at TheMarketsWork reported -

John Durham, the U.S. attorney tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016, is expected to seek an interview with former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper following an expansion of his investigation.

It was reportedly the meetings Durham and Attorney General William Barr recently had in Rome-where they obtained new evidence-that were the impetus for the broadening of the scope of the probe.

According to Fox News' Catherine Herridge, her sources told her that Durham is now "very interested to question" Brennan and Clapper.

According to Herridge, the meetings "took place on Aug. 15 and Sept. 27, 2019, in Rome," and that it was during one or both of these trips, that Barr and Durham "gathered new evidence."

The news comes following months of speculation about whether the former top Obama officials would be questioned over their involvement in the investigation and spying on the Trump campaign.

It was recently revealed in a court motion by the lawyer for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, that the Justice Department (DOJ) had obtained two cell phones belonging to Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese Professor who has been cited as playing a key role in the FBI's determination to open its probe into the Trump campaign.

Ironically, at the exact same time calls were made to remove former Obama CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance.

The news of Brennan's security clearance not being revoked came out at the exact same time as Barr and Durham's first visit to Rome.

This leads us to believe that whatever they found is connected to Obama and Brennan's CIA.

For some time, George Papadopoulos has said that those who approached him in London were most likely CIA

Jerry Nadler Gives Trump Friday Deadline; Impeachment to Include Russia Collusion

House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) wrote to President Donald Trump Friday, giving him until Friday, Dec. 6., to answer whether he and his lawyers would participate in the "impeachment inquiry." Nadler's letter quotes the forthcoming report from the House Intelligence Committee, which will be written entirely by Democrats and which will recommend drafting articles of impeachment against the president. The report will state that there was "a months-long effort in which President Trump again sought foreign interference in our elections for his personal and political benefit at the expense of our national interest"; and that the president conducted "an unprecedented campaign of obstruction in an effort to prevent the Committees from obtaining documentary evidence and testimony."

The word "again" suggests that the House Intelligence Committee will not limit its report to allegations that Trump invited Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election, but will also state that Trump sought Russian interference in the 2016 election - even though Special Counsel Robert Mueller found there to be no evidence of such collusion. Nadler added that Trump is being investigated for obstruction of justice, relating to actions described by Mueller in the second volume of his report, though Mueller did not recommend prosecution and Attorney General William Barr rejected obstruction charges against Trump on the merits.

The White House cooperated fully with Mueller and never exerted executive privilege over any witnesses or documents. It has resisted participating in the House "impeachment inquiry," which it regards as illegitimate. Nadler has invited the president and his counsel to call and question witnesses, in accordance with the House resolution authorizing the impeachment inquiry last month - though the president was not allowed to do so in the Intelligence Committee inquiry. However, Nadler and the Democratic majority on the committee can overrule requests for witnesses. In addition, the House Rules Committee warned last month that Nadler would be allowed to limit the president's ability to call witnesses if he does not provide witnesses and documents the committee wants.

Republicans criticized Nadler's letter. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), who participated in the earlier round of closed-door hearings, said that Nadler's letter proved that the president had previously been denied due process rights.

Transhuman Fail: The Fishy Death Of Jeffrey Epstein

An old friend who wrote this article, Cliff Kincaid of America's Survival, Inc., understands the Trilateral Commission and the Deep State. Cliff includes many details and connects many dots in his grand-scheme-of things-style. ? TN Editor

The late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia is what has interested the media. But his own blog, which is still active even after his death, suggests what he and his fellow elites were really interested in. He called it "cutting edge science." It is how the global elites intend to manage our lives. They already claim credit for "rewriting our global culture."

"Jeffrey Epstein is a former member of the Mind, Brain and Behavior Committee at Harvard, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the New York Academy of Science and a former Rockefeller University Board Member," his website proclaimed. "Mr. Epstein is also an active member of the Edge Organization."

You can't get higher-up than Epstein. This is the crème de la crème of the American establishment. But as Patrick Wood, Editor of Technocracy News & Trends, notes, "He had no visible or logical means of creating wealth, although he spent a fortune on various pet projects."

Wood comments that Epstein was definitely NOT like "the typical member" of the Trilateral Commission (TC) or Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). "He had no compelling outward qualifications as far as I can tell, but if you think about the TC and CFR as being potentially useful for nefarious purposes, then Epstein was the blackmailer and his secret and real profession was sex trafficking and pedophilia," Wood adds, "It has been alleged that every room in his mansions had hidden cameras that filmed everything and everyone, and that the videos taken were stored offsite in a still-undisclosed location. These will never be released because they implicate so many of the global elite."

These are serious concerns, and there is no guilt by association. But Epstein's mysterious death, at this juncture in history, is extremely significant. Attorney General William Barr tells AP that Epstein's "suicide" was the result of "a perfect storm of screw-ups." But in the same way that then-candidate Donald J. Trump had brought up the case of the mysterious death of former Clinton aide Vincent Foster, calling it "fishy," there are too many outstanding questions about the Epstein death. Like Foster, he is a man who knew too much.

Blaming two federal prison guards for his "suicide" cannot be accepted at face value.

I've Asked Q about this also.. don't think I'll get a answer… but if he's making amends for past deeds then.. .God have mercy on him.. if not then to HELL with him

OPINION: Bill Barr Needs To Answer For His Role In Ruby Ridge

The Second Amendment community has tried very hard to get members of the Judiciary Committee to persuade attorney general nominee William Barr to renounce his long-standing support for gun control. Opposing his nomination is not a position we relish. But if members of the Senate choose to ignore his record on guns, they should not ignore his role in the Ruby Ridge scandal.

Consider these facts.

Barr was in charge of the Justice Department during Ruby Ridge, and he knew what was going on.

Barr stated, under oath, that his chief gun priority would be the Ruby Ridge-like gun confiscation orders (sugar-coated as "red flag laws").

You may remember that Barr's federal agents descended on Randy Weaver's Idaho compound in August, 1992, and (1) shot weaver in the back; (2) shot Weaver's wife Vicki to death, while she was holding her infant son; (3) shot Weaver's 14 year-old son to death; and (4) shot Weaver's dog.

Courts subsequently largely exonerated Weaver, while excoriating the FBI and the Department of Justice. And, although then-Attorney General William Barr claimed to know nothing about the Ruby Ridge fiasco, a 1995 Washington Post article reported that there were 20 high-level DOJ calls about Weaver in the 24 hours preceding the murder of his wife - and two of them directly involved Barr.

After that, Barr spent huge amounts of pro bono time trying to get exoneration for the FBI sniper who shot Vicki Weaver to death. He pushed for immunity from prosecution, organized letters on his behalf, and framed arguments before the trial and appeals courts.

But long before Ruby Ridge, Barr's hatred for the Second Amendment was clear.

"What's disturbing though, isn't Schiff's homosexual activities, nor his taste for Chocolate America is a free country and that's why we have 50+ flavors of ice cream. What's disturbing is that he's living 2 lives; by day a 'Congressman' and a 'family man' and by night, drug induced party time in West Hollywood."

"(Attorney General William) Barr is looking into why Adam Schiff was at Buck's place 16 times," said insider Larry Nichols."

"Just like with the Pedostein case, this is about human trafficking, and who knows what else. Trump has said often "These people are sick" and we are starting to get a sense of how deep and murky the swamp really is."

"Going back to the story, let's skip the fact that Schiff was very close with Buck and not only visited this drug den 17 times, they were constantly together at rallies, parties, social events, political fundraisers, and other events."

"In civil lawsuits, Buck has been named as a human trafficker, rapist, and performing strange and nearly 'ritualistic' acts on homeless men in Los Angeles (mostly black). Does this sound familiar? Spirit cooking anyone?"

"Of course, going with the Democrat 'accuse your enemies of what you are guilty of' strategy, as it turns out Schiff has his own Ukraine military contract that he's been working on for awhile now, with fellow brother of the tribe Igor Pasternak."

"Now that we've examined the facts, let's take a look at one last anomaly and chatter on the dark web. A helicopter crashed with owners of the Standard Hotel where apparently tons of bad things happened, so the witnesses were killed 'in an accident' (these guys know you have to make it look like an accident!)

House Oversight Panel Sues AG Barr, Wilbur Ross Over 2020 Census Documents

The House Oversight and Reform Committee filed a lawsuit against Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross over the Trump administration's moves to add a citizenship question to the Census in 2020.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), the chairwoman of the Oversight Committee, announced the lawsuit on Tuesday and claimed the White House is engaging in "brazen obstruction of Congress."

The lawsuit follows a House vote in July to hold Barr and Ross in contempt of Congress. The two issued a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), calling on her to postpone the vote because the documents and materials that were sought were protected, while the White House said the documents are covered by executive privilege, noted The Hill.

In her statement, Maloney said Ross and Barr have not provided any documents amid the subpoenas.

"Despite the committee's extensive efforts at accommodations, Secretary Ross and Attorney General Barr have refused to provide these critical documents and communications," House Democrats claimed in their court filing on Tuesday.

"The stakes for Congress and the American people could not be higher, nor the consequences of the ongoing injury more profound," Democrats said in the lawsuit. "The 2020 Census will have at least 10 years of direct effect on the composition of the House by determining population counts, as well as on the methodology by which the House determines the apportionment of federal funds to the states. If there is maladministration of the 2020 Census, the effects will be felt for decades, and once complete, the damage to the Census cannot be undone."

Neither the Commerce nor Justice departments have issued a comment following the lawsuit filing.

The Supreme Court in June blocked the Commerce Department from adding the question to the Census.

Following the court's decision, Ross said he disagreed.

"I respect the Supreme Court but strongly disagree with its ruling regarding my decision to reinstate a citizenship question on the 2020 Census," Ross said in a statement, Reuters reported. "The Census Bureau has started the process of printing the decennial questionnaires without the question. My focus, and that of the bureau and the entire department, is to conduct a complete and accurate Census," he said.

Following the ruling, President Trump wrote that he would consider delaying the Census so the question could be added.

Trump wrote at the time: "I have asked the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice to do whatever is necessary to bring this most vital of questions, and this very important case, to a successful conclusion. USA! USA! USA!"

The upcoming Census begins in January 2020 in Alaska and later across the country in April 2020.

FISA alterations Could Pose Significant Trouble For FBI: Fruit Of The Poisonous Tree

KEY POINTS:

FBI officials concerned that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith's tampered and altered documents to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Warrant will put into question all the evidence gathered to obtain the warrant.
Horowitz referred Clinesmith to DOJ Prosecutor John Durham appointed by Attorney General William Barr for further investigation.
Other FBI officials will be wrapped up into Clinesmith's warrant tampering. Who approved the warrants?
Criminal Defense Attorney David Schoen says FBI failed to make immediate correction of any materially false statement or any material omission. "Clearly no such correcting submission was made here."
FBI Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith led the interview on George Papadopolous in February, 2017.
Clinesmith was anti-Trump and removed from the Russia investigation.

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's anticipated report will reveal that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Application warrant was tampered with but the significance of that cannot be understated. It means that Horowitz's discovery will discredit the bureau's handling of its investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election and it could make any information discovered during the course of seeking approval for the FISA and after 'fruit of the poisonous tree," according to numerous sources who spoke to SaraACarter.com.

"Based on what we know, Clinesmith's tampering of documents appears to have been significant enough to have played a role in the FISA courts decision to grant a warrant to spy on an American, maybe more than one American," said a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. "There is concern among the FBI that all the evidence will come into question, as it should - particularly the case of the 'fruit of the poisonous tree' that the evidence itself is tainted - if that's true than anything gained from that evidence might also be tainted. This could be a problem for anyone who approved the FISA as well."

What we now know is that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, allegedly altered an email that FBI officials used to prepare to seek court approval to renew the wiretaps on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, as first reported by the New York Times and verified by SaraACarter.com. The extent of the alterations in the FISA application is still unknown but it was significant enough for Horowitz to refer Clinesmith to Connecticut Federal Prosecutor John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the FBI's handling of the probe. Durham's probe has also expanded to the CIA, of which he has interviewed numerous officers and the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment, which paid FBI confidential informant Stephan Halper to collect information on several Trump campaign advisors, as first reported by this new site.

The DOJ obtained three FISA renewal orders on Page. According to the NYT "the paperwork associated with the renewal applications contained information that should have been left out, and vice versa, the people briefed on the draft report said."

That's a serious problem, stated the U.S. official. Why? Because Clinesmith's alterations in the documents played a role in the ability for the FBI to continue to wiretap Page throughout the renewal process.

David Schoen, a criminal defense attorney, told SaraACarter.com that the FISA process requires absolute scrutiny as the defendant, the person targeted by the warrant, is not represented by anyone due to the extraordinary secrecy of the process.

Schoen noted, if an "agent falsifies, materially alters with false information, or makes a material omission in documents relied on to authorize surveillance - and here it was to authorize the most intrusive kind of surveillance by the most secretive court in the land - then any further step in the process and any material obtained by surveillance from the point of his illegal conduct forward is arguably poisoned by the initial illegal materially false alteration or material omission."

>They then suggested agents would be able to ignore the rules even if they were put into place.

>"We will further note that ICE and CBP officers are not subject to state rules that purport to restrict ICE and CBP from making administrative arrests on property that is otherwise open to the public and other law enforcement officers. Under the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, such rules cannot and will not govern the conduct of federal officers acting pursuant to duly enacted laws passed by Congress when those laws provide the authority to make administrative arrests of removable aliens inside the United States," said the letter.

DOJ watchdog expected to say FBI erred, but absolve top leaders of anti-Trump bias: report

A Justice Department watchdog is expected to strongly criticize FBI officials for being careless in their pursuit of obtaining wiretaps on a former Trump campaign aide during the start of the Russia probe, but not find they were acting with a bias toward President Trump, The New York Times reported Friday afternoon.

But the highly anticipated report from the Department of Justice inspector general (IG) is also expected to say top agency leaders did not act with a bias toward against President Trump in terms of how they undertook the probe.

In particular, the DOJ IG, Michael Horowitz, faulted Kevin Clinesmith, a lower-level lawyer, for altering an email that bureau officials then incorporated in their effort to renew a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant on Carter Page.

The DOJ watchdog has referred his findings about Clinesmith, who resigned two months ago, to prosecutors for a potential criminal charge, the Times reported.

Horowitz also reportedly found omissions and errors in documents seeking the wiretap for Page, who had served previously on the Trump campaign and was suspected of working as an unregistered foreign agent in 2016.

And while the Times reports that Horowitz will sharply rebuke the top brass at the FBI over their handling of the counterintelligence probe - which was examining whether members of the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia- his investigation did not find that anti-Trump bias among senior leaders like former FBI director James Comey, deputy director Andrew McCabe, and former counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok influenced the investigation.

While the report, set to be publicly released Dec. 9, appears to confirm long-held GOP allegations that officials did not follow the proper protocols in obtaining the Page FISA warrant, the report also disputes their allegations that individuals like Comey, McCabe and Strzok acted on biases towards the president.

Horowitz's report also debunks claims that the so-called Steele dossier compiled by the former British spy Christopher Steele was used by officials to launch the investigation, as well as allegations that some of the information came from the CIA officials.

Democrats and Republicans are likely to seize on different parts of the report, particularly at a time when House Democrats' impeachment inquiry is looming over the Trump administration.

The FBI obtained a FISA warrant on Page in October of 2016 and renewed the wiretap three subsequent times.

And during one of those renewal processes, Clinesmith is said to have altered an email from an official working at another federal agency by adding his own personal assertion to a message laying out several factual assertions, allowing his view point to appear as if was the author of the email rather than his own, the Times reports.

This manipulated email was then added into a group of documents Clinesmith compiled for another FBI official to read ahead of them signing an affidavit that is given to the surveillance court, which attests under the penalty of perjury that the information in the wiretap application is both "true and correct."

Clinesmith, who worked on both the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server and the Russia probe, was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team after Horowitz discovered text messages sent from officials that disparaged Trump.

Horowitz's referral has reportedly been sent to Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was assigned by Attorney General William Barr to probe the origins of the Russia investigation. The referral suggests that Durham's inquiry could turn into a criminal investigation.

Attorney General William Barr Concludes What Happened To Clinton Buddy Jeffrey Epstein

Jeffrey Epsteinwas found dead in his cell not long after he was mysteriously taken off suicide watch, despite a recent attempt to take his own life this past summer. The guards watching him were rent-a-cop level, they falsified prison logs, and had fallen asleep on the job. Shrieks were heard near his cell the day he died. All of this is sketch city and for once, the conspiracy theory crowd was not dismissed. Epstein had ties to some of the most powerful and wealthiest people on the planet, including the Clintons. His private island was reportedly wired for sound; can you say blackmail tapes? And the search warrant executed for his New York residence yielded troves of incriminating evidence to back up the not-so-new allegations that he was a child predator. He was indicted for trafficking underage girls and other sex crimes. He escaped justice in early 2000s thanks to a sweetheart deal he cut with then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, a piece of history that was resurrected by the Miami Herald which reported on Epstein's plea deal which showcased what money and connections can afford you when you get into trouble. This legal arrangement cost Acosta his job as Trump's labor secretary.

The death of Epstein while in federal custody was another low point for the DOJ. Barr was outraged, leading him to order a full review with Inspector General Michael Horowitz joining the effort. Initially, two guards were suspended, and the warden was reassigned. Now, two guards have been arrested (via NPR):

Two correctional officers who were assigned to guard Jeffrey Epstein on the night he died in his cell have been indicted for allegedly ignoring more than 75 mandatory checks on the wealthy financier then fabricating records to cover it up.

Federal authorities charged Michael Thomas and Tova Noel with multiple counts of falsifying records and conspiracy. The two worked as guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a federal facility in Manhattan that is mostly used for defendants awaiting trial.

At a court appearance on Tuesday, Thomas and Noel pleaded not guilty and a judge released each of them on a $100,000 bond.

The indictment provides the first official account of what happened in the hours before Epstein's death.

According to video surveillance footage obtained by prosecutors, Epstein was in his cell unobserved for eight hours before he was found dead. The unit he was in requires that all inmates be accounted for twice an hour.

There were conflicting medical analyses as well. One saying that Epstein had killed himself, another that cast doubton that conclusion due to the wounds around his neck. The latter autopsy was conducted by Epstein's brother who noted the neck injuries were more consistent with homicide than suicide. I mean all of this was just too good to be true. The man potentially had dirt on oodles of people; Epstein also had ties to the British Royal Family. Yet, Attorney General Barr now says that the events that occurred prior to Epstein's death were a disaster, but that the child predator committed suicide (via NYT):

Attorney General William P. Barr said in an interview published on Friday that the death of Jeffrey Epstein, the financier accused of sex trafficking, in a secure federal prison resulted from "a perfect storm of screw-ups," rather than any nefarious act.

Mr. Barr's statement refuted suggestions from members of Mr. Epstein's family that he may have been murdered. His remarks came the same week that two prison guards were criminally charged, accused in an indictment of failing to check on Mr. Epstein every half-hour as they were required to and then lying about it on prison logs.

"I can understand people who immediately - whose minds went to sort of the worst-case scenario, because it was a perfect storm of screw-ups," Mr. Barr said in an interview with The Associated Press as he flew to Montana on Thursday night.

Mr. Epstein's death in August at a federal detention center in Manhattan set off a rash of unfounded conspiracy theories on social media that were picked up and repeated by high-profile figures, including Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. No matter their ideology, the refrain of the theories was the same: Something did not add up.

Trump To Address Nation Monday Over Mass Shootings, Says More Gun Control May Be Needed

In the wake of multiple mass shootings over the weekend, President Trump told reporters in Morristown Airport before departing for the White House on Sunday that "hate has no place in our country and we're going to take care of it."

As The Hill reports, Congressional Democrats, 2020 presidential candidates and others have rushed to draw comparisons between the motives of the El Paso shooter and Trump's immigration rhetoric and suggested he helped fuel the environment that led to the attack.

Notably even Trump nemesis Jim Comey admitted in his latest op-ed (albeit in the 20th paragraph) that:

"according to a 'manifesto' widely attributed to him, the Texas terrorist who killed at least 20 people in El Paso on Saturday wasn't directly motivated by Donald Trump. But he is a horrific example of what can happen when the control rods are lifted."

But, the president ignored shouted questions about whether the El Paso shooter's anti-immigrant manifesto shared similarities with his rhetoric and said the shootings are part of "a mental illness problem."

The president then added that he had spoken to Attorney General William Barr, FBI Director Christopher Wray, the Ohio and Texas governors as well as members of Congress.

"We have to get it stopped," he said.

"This has been going on for years, for years and years in our country."

He added that "perhaps" more needs to be done with respect to gun control.

President Trump: "I want to extend our condolences to the people of El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, they're incredible people and they've been through a lot."

Trump added that he will deliver a formal statement on Monday at 10 a.m. Monday at the White House.

On Saturday, a gunman entered an El Paso, Texas Walmart, killing 20 people and wounding 26 others. Less than 24 hours later, at least nine people were killed and 26 more injured when 24-year-old Connor Betts of Bellbrook Ohio used a .223 caliber rifle to open fire at a crowd on East 5th street in the city's popular downtown Oregon district.

Q Research General #9394: FF Fading Editio

Mass shooting events follow pattern of "FBI terror plots" documented by the New York Times... agents recruit social media extremists to frame as scapegoats for engineered violence

The mass shooting events that have rocked America over the past two days follow the pattern of "FBI terror plots" documented by the New York Times and the Kansas City Star (see sources, below) as being created and carried out by FBI agents. These two shootings were initiated in the hours following the bombshell revelation that the FBI conspired with Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration to destroy Clinton's email hard drives as a means to eliminate any evidence of Hillary Clinton's prosecutable crimes.

Former FBI director James Comey is now known to have run multiple criminal schemes to illegally frame Trump administration officials while clearing Obama-era officials as part of a treasonous deep state plot to overthrow the United States of America, defeat President Trump and frame Trump supporters as domestic terrorists.

It now appears abundantly obvious that the FBI is the most prolific terrorist organization in America, and this fact has been confirmed by the New York Times. Under the treasonous command of Barack Obama and James Comey, the FBI was radicalized and weaponized into a treasonous crime syndicate that routinely plotted and carried out acts of terrorism against the United States of America, all while covering up the damning evidence of criminality and treason that should have sent Hillary Clinton to prison.

The FBI is running a massive, coordinated psyop on America. The goal is to demonize all Trump supporters, paint illegals aliens as victims and enraged the mind-controlled Left to the point of a mass armed insurrection led by Antifa terrorists (i.e. civil war). The deep state knows it is about to be exposed by Trump, Durham and William Barr, so it is running every "Hail Mary" operation imaginable to try to control the minds of the masses and depict Trump supporters as enemies of civil society.

Watch my video here, which reveals the crucial facts you need to know. And see screen shots of the cited sources, below:

Q Research General #9394: FF Fading Editio

On July 23, in a keynote address at the International Conference on Cyber Security at Fordham University, US Attorney General William Barr took up a banner that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation have been waving for over a decade: the call for what former FBI director James Comey had referred to as a "golden key."

Citing the threat posed by violent criminals using encryption to hide their activities from law enforcement, Barr said that information security "should not come at the expense of making us more vulnerable in the real world." He claimed that this is what is happening today.

Q Research General #9367: Ghostly Kitchen E-ish bake Edition

It is important for everyone to re-read comments from Barr back in May when he was interviewed by a CBS reporter.

Attorney General William Barr said in an interview that he doesn't think Obama-era Department of Justice officials overseeing the Russia investigation committed treason "as a legal matter," but he does have concerns about how they conducted the probe.

"Sometimes people can convince themselves that what they're doing is in the higher interest and better good, They don't realize that what they're doing is really antithetical to the democratic system that we have."

This sounds to me like we are going to get a whole bunch of, they didn't do anything illegal but their methods and actions were not in line with department policy. Just look at the evidence so far - McCabe, Wolfe and now Comey. Decline to prosecute! NADA!

So wrist slaps, retirements, new departmental policies and more training WITHOUT ANY indictments is how this will NEVER HAPPEN again and end IMO.

The IG report on FISA should be coming out in a couple of weeks and IMO if indictments don't follow shortly thereafter then it's clear to me at that point, Barr is a black hat.

Feds gone wild: DOJ's stunning inability to prosecute its own bad actors
BY JOHN SOLOMON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 06/13/19 01:15 PM EDT

One was caught red-handed engaged in nepotism. Another, a lawyer no less, admitted to shoplifting at a Marine Barracks store. A third leaked sealed court information to the news media. And a fourth engaged in fraud by turning a government garage into a personal repair shop.

Four cases, all solved in the past month, with suspects who cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and significant breaches of public trust.

But these weren't your everyday perps.

All were U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) employees who are supposed to catch other criminals while working for the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. attorneys' offices. Instead, they broke the law or violated the rules. And all managed to escape prosecution, despite their proven transgressions.

Recent Justice Department disciplinary files tell an undeniable story.

Under the leadership of Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz, DOJ's internal watchdog is doing an outstanding job of policing bad conduct inside America's premier law enforcement agency.

And DOJ is doing a poor job of punishing its own.

In cases closed in the past month, more than a half-dozen FBI, DEA, U.S. attorney and U.S. marshal officials were allowed to retire, do volunteer work, or keep their jobs as they escaped criminal charges that everyday Americans probably would not.

In most instances, the decisions were made by federal prosecutors who work with the very figures impacted by or committing the bad conduct. In local law enforcement, that go-easy phenomenon is known as the "thin blue line."

Spokespersons for the Justice Department and FBI did not respond to a request for comment.

The troubling pattern of weak punishment emerges as DOJ heads into one of its most ambitious internal affairs probes in recent history. Attorney General William Barr, Horowitz and special U.S. Attorney John Durham are investigating whether the FBI and other intelligence agencies violated the law with the Trump-Russia investigation.

Even before the recent spate of closed inspector general investigations, questions surfaced about DOJ's willingness to punish its own. That's because fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was recommended for prosecution more than 15 months ago for lying about news leaks, and so far has faced no criminal charges.

To put that into perspective, it took special counsel Robert Mueller just a few months to bring charges against multiple figures associated with President Trump's campaign accused of lying or other process crimes.

It's still possible that McCabe could face prosecution. But the recent spate of fresh wrongdoing inside DOJ doesn't portray a compelling pattern of enforcement or punishment.

Take, for example, the DEA executive who just this week was found to have engaged in nepotism by routing hundreds of thousands of dollars to contractor jobs for his son and retired colleagues or friends.

Horowitz spared few words for the egregious scheme. "The senior DEA official wasted and misused hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds and engaged in misconduct when he took actions to get his son and former colleagues contractor positions and that his actions constituted misconduct in violation of federal ethics regulations, the DEA Standards of Conduct, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation," he reported this week.

Trump's Message to U.S. Intelligence Officials: Be Loyal or Leave

This past Wednesday, during Robert Mueller's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Representative John Ratcliffe, a Republican from Texas who was previously a federal prosecutor, accused the former special counsel of illegally smearing President Trump. Ratcliffe demanded to know why Mueller had stated in Volume II of his report-which investigated whether the President had obstructed justice-that, "while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." His voice rising, Ratcliffe said that the sentence "was not authorized under the law to be written" and violated a "bedrock principle of our justice system." He urged Americans to ignore the "Democrats and socialists on the other side of the aisle" who cited it. Fact checkers found Ratcliffe's claims to be false, but he ended his appearance with a dramatic flourish. "I agree with the chairman this morning when he said Donald Trump is not above the law. He's not," Ratcliffe said, his voice rising. "But he damn sure shouldn't be below the law, which is where Volume II of this report puts him."

In a Sunday-morning interview on Fox News, Ratcliffe again demonstrated his support for the President, declaring that "it was a great week for Donald Trump." The congressman claimed that Mueller did "not have a command" of what was in the report, which, he said, had been written by "Hillary Clinton's de-facto legal team." He said that Trump deserved a presumption of innocence, then added, "What I do know, as a former federal prosecutor, is that it does appear that there were crimes committed during the Obama Administration." Ratcliffe then praised an unprecedented review that Attorney General William Barr is conducting of the work of the F.B.I. and key intelligence agencies in the launch of the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation, saying, "Bill Barr has earned my trust already and the trust of the American people."

Six hours later, Trump nominated Ratcliffe to be the most powerful intelligence official in the country, replacing Dan Coats, who is stepping down as the director of National Intelligence. Sources told the Times that Trump enjoyed watching Ratcliffe aggressively question Mueller, but denied that this was the reason the Texas congressman got the job. The Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, disagreed, issuing a statement that said, "It's clear that Rep. Ratcliffe was selected because he exhibited blind loyalty to President Trump with his demagogic questioning of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller."

DOJ To Release Bruce Ohr Documents 'Imminently'

The Justice Department will release FBI documents early next week that are related to Bruce Ohr, the Justice Department official who met with dossier author Christopher Steele. In a court filing submitted last Thursday, Justice Department lawyers said the agency will provide FBI notes of interviews conducted with Ohr to Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group that sued for the records last year.

Justice Department lawyers said the agency had initially determined that the Ohr transcripts, known as 302s, should be withheld in full. But "after further review in conjunction with DOJ's preparation of its motion for summary judgment, DOJ has decided to release the requested records in part to Plaintiff," the lawyers said. "DOJ will make this release to Plaintiff by August 5, 2019." It is not clear what documents will be released and which might be withheld. Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton announced Thursday night that the documents would be released "imminently."

Judicial Watch sued on Sept. 10 for a dozen 302s the FBI compiled between Nov. 22, 2016, and May 15, 2017. FBI agents interviewed Ohr after meetings and conversations with Steele, a former British spy who investigated the Trump campaign on behalf of the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee. FBI investigators had tasked Ohr to serve as an unofficial backchannel to Steele as part of the bureau's investigation of the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia. The FBI cut ties with Steele on Nov. 1, 2016, after learning that he had unauthorized contacts with the media about his work as an FBI informant. Steele and Fusion GPS, the firm that hired him, provided information from the dossier to numerous reporters during the 2016 campaign.

Congressional Republicans had pushed President Trump to declassify and release the Ohr 302s along with other documents related to the Russia probe. Trump said for months that he would declassify the documents, but on May 23, he outsourced declassification authority to Attorney General William Barr. Republicans have hinted that the 302s contain information that could undercut Steele's credibility, as well as the dossier's. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is investigating whether the FBI misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court in applications for spy warrants on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The bureau relied heavily on Steele's reporting to obtain the wiretaps.

Ohr, whose wife worked as a contractor for Fusion GPS, has told Congress that Steele said to him during one meeting that he was desperate to see Trump lose the 2016 election. Republicans say that the FBI did not disclose that fact in applications to wiretap Page. The FBI also did not disclose that the Clinton campaign and DNC had funded Steele's dossier. Ohr and Steele had known each other for years before the began meeting to discuss the Trump investigation. They first met on that topic on July 30, 2016, in Washington, D.C. After the meeting, Ohr briefed then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe about Steele's work.

Steele met on Aug. 22, 2016, with Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS. Republican investigators have wondered why Steele and Simpson passed information to Ohr, when Steele already had a contact at the FBI. Steele gave some of his early dossier memos to FBI agent Michael Gaeta during a meeting in Rome on July 5, 2016.

Q Research General #9350: Friday morning Ebake Edition

Did U.S. Attorney General Barr Just Trade James Comey's "Memogate" for "Spygate"?

Awakened Americans realize the nation's system of justice now remains at a crossroads. Either the Deep State cabal including the likes Comey, Clapper, Brennon, McCabe, Clinton, Strozk, Page, Ohr, and others will continue on their book tours and talk show circuits - or they will face prosecution at the whim of U.S. Attorney General William Barr; as the country now awaits reports from Inspector General Michael Horowitz on FISA Abuse and corruption in the Department of Justice; U.S. Attorney John Huber on Clinton Foundation illegalities; and U.S. Attorney John Durham on the origins of Russiagate.

This, even as previous members of Team Trump, such as Manafort, Flynn, Papadopoulos, and others remain either incarcerated or with devastated lives for mere process crimes - and at the vagaries of the criminal cabal; even as the Mueller hearing revealed more of the Deep State's men, including U.S. agent Joseph Mifsud, had lied under oath to the special counsel and, yet, still remain free today.

Who has the power?

Initially, it appeared the question was recently answered again as former FBI Director James Comey was, seemingly, arbitrarily absolved by Attorney General Barr for what this blogger references as "Memogate":

....DOJ Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz referred Comey for possible prosecution under laws governing the handling of classified information, however Attorney General William Barr has declined to prosecute - as the DOJ does not believe they have enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law.
It means the memos illegally leaked by Comey will not be prosecuted because the former FBI Director didn't mean any harm. It also means, ironically, that Barr absolved Comey via the exact type of mind-reading Comey used to illicitly exonerate Hillary prior to the 2016 Presidential Election.

Is this just more evidence of the Deep State's refusal to prosecute itself?

Maybe. Maybe not.

The New York Times first reported on the Comey memos in a May 16, 2017 article. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel the very next day on May 17, 2017.

Do you believe in coincidences?

However, in Rosenstein's order to appoint Mueller as special counsel, he cited Comey's March 20, 2017 confirmation of Russiagate before the House Intelligence Committee.

Nevertheless, SPYGATE (via FISA Abuse) gave permission (i.e. cover) for the Russia Investigation (Russiagate) that allowed Comey's (and other's named heretofore) misdeeds (at least) and treason (at most).

In other words, all of the rats could hide behind their criminal acts by saying they honestly believed they were acting on behalf of national security - even as they lied to the President of the United States. To be sure, their defense would be similar to:

"Hey, intelligence claimed Trump might have been a Russian mole and we were just doing our jobs".

Therefore, the apparent acquittal of Comey for "Memogate" now appears to add credence to Barr's longer play of cornering the rats where they can least likely wriggle free. Or, more clearly stated: It is better to prosecute the Cabal, including Comey, on Spygate and FISA abuse anyway.

Are we watching the swamp about to be drained? Or a television show with that particular plotline?

Time reveals everything and we can know them by their actions.

Reports: James Comey Is Torched In The Department Of Justice's IG Report On Obama-Era FISA Abuses

Former FBI Director James Comey may have escaped charges for leaking classified information to the public, but that doesn't mean he won't be torched by the pending inspector general report from the Department of Justice. It once again shoots a hole right through the Democrats' ongoing Trump impeachment narrative that is rapidly falling apart. Russian collusion was outright killed by the report filed by ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller, as it debunked the already unverified Trump dossier compiled by ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele. Fusion GPS hired him. And they were contracted by the Hillary Clinton campaign to get dirt of Trump. This document is the epicenter of the Trump-Russia collusion myth. Still, this report tried very hard to prove Russian collusion, but there is simply zero evidence to prove it. Period.

The flip side is the so-called obstruction of justice that occurred, with Comey's firing in2017 being a major date in the minds of liberals. Despite repeated examples that Comey was fired for cause, the Left continues to push this impeachment nonsense. Where things get dicey for liberals is how the Obama DOJ used the Steele dossier to reportedly secure a FISA spy warrant against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. John Solomon at The Hill has more:

Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz's team referred Comey for possible prosecution under the classified information protection laws, but Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors working for Attorney General William Barr reportedly have decided to decline prosecution - a decision that's likely to upset Comey's conservative critics.

Prosecutors found the IG's findings compelling but decided not to bring charges because they did not believe they had enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law, according to multiple sources.

Although a technical violation, the DOJ did not want to "make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins and look petty and vindictive," a source told me, explaining the DOJ's rationale.

But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham. Those investigations are focused on the origins of the Russia investigation that included a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign at the end of the 2016 election, the source said.

The lack of prosecution is certain to demoralize some conservatives, who long have called for Comey's head. But the IG report, set to be released within the next few weeks, likely will provide significant condemnations of Comey's conduct, sources tell me.

Reports: James Comey Is Torched In The Department Of Justice's IG Report On Obama-Era FISA Abuses

Prosecutors found the IG's findings compelling but decided not to bring charges because they did not believe they had enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law, according to multiple sources.

The lack of prosecution is certain to demoralize some conservatives, who long have called for Comey's head. But the IG report, set to be released within the next few weeks, likely will provide significant condemnations of Comey's conduct, sources tell me.
While they cautioned that the IG's final report won't be complete until it gets feedback from Comey's lawyers in the next few days, it is expected to conclude that the former FBI director improperly took with him memos that were FBI property when he was fired, transmitted classified information via an insecure email account, and shared some of the memos with his private lawyers. Some of the Comey memos were classified up to the "secret" level, but the FBI has not disclosed whether those were shared with his lawyers like the classified confidential memo was.

The IG concluded in prior investigations that Comey's firing was not driven by Trump's fears about the Russia investigation ruining his presidency but, rather, by DOJ concerns about Comey's performance in the Hillary Clinton email probe. Horowitz concluded that Comey wrongly "usurped" the authority of the attorney general when, on July 5, 2016, he announced he would not seek criminal charges against Clinton for transmitting classified information - some of it top secret - on her insecure private email server.

That IG report also chided Comey for criticizing Clinton's email practices as reckless without filing charges and for improperly announcing the reopening of the email probe in late October 2016, just a few weeks before Election Day when Clinton and Trump were locked in a tight race.
Ironically, Comey's decision not to charge Clinton for violating the Espionage Act for mishandling classified information on her email server mirrors the same rationale that Barr's DOJ applied in declining prosecution of him: a lack of evidence of intent.

Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum

None Dare Call It Treason: President Trump Must Fight Fire With Fire And Hold The 'Coup D'Etat' Leaders Responsible For Their Crimes Against America

- With Others Watching, Justice Against The Coup Plotters Is Absolutely Necessary For Reasons Of National Security.

"Attorney General William Barr should aggressively investigate, indict, and imprison leaders of the attempted coup d'etat who served and are serving in the FBI, DOJ, Intelligence Community, and Democratic Party."

"Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why, if treason doth prosper. None dare call it treason." -Sir John Harrington (1561-1612)

"Conservatives should not be applauding the Mueller Report for finding no collusion with Russia by President Trump during his election campaign or after. The Mueller investigation itself was never legitimate. It was part of a conspiracy by the Obama administration, the Democratic Party, and their minions in the FBI and Justice Department against Mr. Trump, his allies, voters, and the Constitution. Any intelligent person, not wholly blinded by fanatical anti-Trump partisanship, should have understood all along that the Mueller investigation, a stacked deck, staffed with highly partisan activist Democratic lawyers, was biased and bogus."

"Any intelligent person, not rendered insane by anti-Trump hatred, should have understood all along that vociferous accusations by Democrats and the liberal mainstream media that President Trump colluded with Russia to win election - that President Trump is a traitor - was and is utter nonsense. Indeed, these false accusations against President Trump, that seek to delegitimize his administration and cancel the ballots cast by Trump voters, is the real act of treason."

http://allnewspipeline.com/None_Dare_Call_It_Treason_Dr_Pry.php

(INTELLIHUB) - President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that whoever was involved in the fabrication of the Russian collusion hoax should stand trial for treason and said that precedence needs to be set for future offenders.
The 72-year-old commander-in-chief made clear on a telephone interview that former FBI agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page had wanted an "insurance policy" months before the Robert Mueller investigation began "just in case Hillary Clinton lost."
"...what we were playing out until just recently was the insurance policy," Trump said. "They wanted to do a subversion - it was treason."

https://www.intellihub.com/donald-trump-considers-charging-fabricators-of-russian-collusion-hoax-with-treason/

"The facts of what really happened via the dark Deep State underbelly of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax are (finally) leaking out a bit these days as more and more voters come to realize that what really happened was a shocking attempted coup of a duly elected President of the United States by deeply entrenched powers from within the U.S. government."

Via PJ Media:

"Trump Was Not Just Spied Upon But Entrapped
It's bad enough, as has been evident for some time, that Donald Trump and his campaign were being spied upon by our own government, but it's highly likely they were also subject to literal entrapment-at least a serious attempt was made.
I don't mean the entrapment of promulgating the salacious Steele dossier both to the public and the FISA court as if it were the truth. That was more of a smear to justify a phony investigation. I mean something more subtle and LeCarré-like coming from the depths of our intelligence communities. It raises once more the question of the power of such agencies in a free society, a conundrum with no easy answers but of great significance to our lives."

Booker, Other Senate Dems Introduce Bill to Ban the Death Penalty

Democratic senators have introduced a bill to ban the death penalty about a week after the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that federal executions would be resumed following a nearly two-decade hiatus.

Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who are all members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced in a statement on July 31 that their proposed legislation would prevent the federal government from using capital punishment.

The bill is co-sponsored by other Democratic senators including 2020 presidential candidates Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Meanwhile, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) introduced companion legislation in the House last week.

The Senate bill is in response to the department's move to resume federal capital punishment, which was ordered by Attorney General William Barr on July 25. The attorney general also directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to schedule the executions of five death-row inmates convicted murdering children and the elderly, according to the statement.

"Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding," Barr said in the statement. "The Justice Department upholds the rule of law-and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system."

The DOJ's announcement follows the conclusion of an Obama-era review of lethal injections, which effectively placed a freeze on the death penalty since the start of the review in 2014.

Durbin said in the statement that he was concerned by "the revelations we have had over the last few decades that led to dozens of exonerations of innocent prisoners who had languished for years on death row, awaiting execution for crimes they didn't commit."

Meanwhile, Leahy said in the statement that the death penalty is "is too final and too prone to error. It fails as a deterrent. It is racially biased. And it is beneath us as a nation."

"Last week I again sat down with my longtime friend, Kirk Bloodsworth. Kirk was in prison for eight years, including two on death row, before DNA evidence exonerated him.

Comey Avoids DOJ Prosecution On Memo Leak; FISA Abuse Still On The Table

Former FBI Director James Comey will avoid prosecution after illegally leaking personal memos in the hopes of instigating the special counsel's investigation into the 2016 US election, as reported yesterday by The Hill's John Solomon and confirmed today by Fox News.

According to Solomon, DOJ Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz referred Comey for possible prosecution under laws governing the handling of classified information, however Attorney General William Barr has declined to prosecute - as the DOJ does not believe they have enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law.

"Everyone at the DOJ involved in the decision said it wasn't a close call," an official told Fox News. "They all thought this could not be prosecuted."

That said, it's important to note that this decision was the result of a 'carve-out' investigation separate of the IG probe on FISA abuse.

The Conservative Treehouse lays out the situation:

This is NOT the Inspector General Michael Horowitz report on DOJ and FBI FISA abuse.

This is a carve-out.

…

From the outset it was reported and confirmed that U.S. Attorney John Huber was assigned to assist Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Huber's job was to stand-by in case the IG carved out a particular concern, discovered during his investigation, that might involve criminal conduct.

Earlier this week Matt Whitaker said: "John Huber is reviewing anything related to Comey's memos and the like."

Put the two data points together and what you realize is that during the OIG review of potential DOJ and FBI FISA abuse... IG Horowitz investigated the Comey Memo's and then passed that specific issue along to John Huber for DOJ review.

The IG criminal referral for the James Comey memo leaking was a carve-out sent to U.S. Attorney John Huber.

…

This is not the inspector general report on DOJ and FBI FISA abuse. This is an IG report carved out of the larger investigation. -Conservative Treehouse

In short, we will first see an IG report just covering Comey, with a more comprehensive report to follow on FISA abuse.

Top Democrat: 'Disqualifying' if Trump intel pick padded his résumé

Top Democrat: 'Disqualifying' if Trump intel pick padded his résumé
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said it would be "clearly disqualifying" if it turns out that President Trump's nominee to serve as the Director of National Intelligence, Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas), overstated his biography.

Warner, the committee's top Democrat, pledged that the panel "will thoroughly vet any nominee, if he's actually put forward." The comments come days after Trump said he would nominate Ratcliffe to the top intelligence post, an announcement met by instant controversy, with lawmakers questioning his experience for the position.

"I want to give Mr. Ratcliffe to explain himself - but for an individual that's got less actual intelligence experience than anyone that's been put forward for any senior position in the intelligence community, that this guy has even had to take that very thin résumé and pad it, that would be clearly disqualifying," Warner told reporters.

Separately, Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), a senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said he would "pull out all the stops" to block Ratcliffe's confirmation, which requires a simple-majority vote.

"I will pull out all the stops to make sure someone like this who will do so much damage to the credibility of the American intelligence community, at a critical time for our country, I'm going to do everything I can to stop this nomination," he said.

Ratcliffe's announced nomination was immediately met with questions on Capitol Hill about whether he has enough experience to oversee the nation's intelligence agencies as outgoing Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats's successor.

Warner on Thursday said Ratcliffe's performance raised serious questions about the Trump picks' impartiality and compared him to Attorney General William Barr, whom Democrats have accused of mischaracterizing the findings of Mueller's report.

"When we need to make sure the head of our national intelligence is willing to speak truth to power, Mr. Ratcliffe's performance at least in the Mueller hearing was more like a Bill Barr, the attorney general's performance, where they seem more loyal to Trump than loyal to the notion of truth and [the] independence of the intelligence community," Warner said.

Sean Hannity: William Barr '15 steps further than anybody knew' in Russia investigation review

Fox News host Sean Hannity said his sources are telling him Attorney General William Barr has been far more active in his so-called "investigation of the investigators" than publicly known.

In the spring, Barr initiated a review of the origins of the Russia investigation and conduct of the Justice Department, FBI, and intelligence community, and he tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead that effort.

Hannity touted the "big news" during his evening show Wednesday.

"As I talk to my sources, what they are telling me tonight is that the attorney general has taken all of it seriously, since he's taken this job 15 steps further along than anybody knew," Hannity said, adding that this was the case for "FISA in particular."

Barr and 'Five Eyes' pledge unity on 'emerging threats' - but questions on Huawei and ISIS remain

The so-called "Five Eyes" nations agreed on a lot coming out of their security summit in London this week, but didn't end up with concrete plans for two major challenges: the security threat posed by Chinese tech firm Huawei, and the stalemate over how to deal with thousands of foreign-born Islamic State fighters held in Syria.

The five English-speaking member nations that comprise the intelligence-sharing alliance agreed on "emerging threats" including child exploitation, web encryption, extremist recruitment online, and terrorism. They agreed the exploitation of children online must be addressed more effectively, that violent extremists must not be allowed to exploit the internet, that tech firm encryption designed to keep law enforcement out could threaten public safety, and that they must remain vigilant against ISIS.

And the countries committed to combating foreign election interference, ensuring drones aren't misused, improving information sharing, and cooperating on cyber threats.

"The Five Eyes partnership is vital. Throughout this week, we have had substantive, frank, and positive discussions surrounding our shared duty to protect public safety," said Attorney General William Barr, who represented the United States in the summit with officials from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

But comprehensive solutions for dealing with ISIS and Huawei appeared elusive.

The alliance pledged to deal with ISIS detainees, noting the collapse of the caliphate and recognizing that "some of its members continue to pose a threat both in the region and more widely, whilst others are detained and best efforts must be made to bring them to justice." There were some specifics: capacity building through the United Nations and the Counter Terrorism Forum; information sharing through Interpol and other databases to assist with terrorist identification; and the promotion of Battlefield Evidence best practices for investigations and cases.

But these efforts did not specifically address what to do with the thousands of foreign born ISIS fighters held in Iraq and Syria. Earlier this year, President Trump tweeted that the U.S. was asking countries like the U.K. to "to take back over 800 ISIS fighters that we captured in Syria and put them on trial."

The Justice Department's chief watchdog is preparing a damning report on James Comey's conduct in his final days as FBI director that likely will conclude he leaked classified information and showed a lack of candor after his own agency began looking into his feud with President Trump over the Russia probe.

Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz's team referred Comey for possible prosecution under the classified information protection laws, but Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors working for Attorney General William Barr reportedly have decided to decline prosecution - a decision that's likely to upset Comey's conservative critics.

Prosecutors found the IG's findings compelling but decided not to bring charges because they did not believe they had enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law, according to multiple sources.

The concerns stem from the fact that one memo that Comey leaked to a friend specifically to be published by the media - as he admitted in congressional testimony - contained information classified at the lowest level of "confidential," and that classification was made by the FBI after Comey had transmitted the information, the sources said.

Although a technical violation, the DOJ did not want to "make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins and look petty and vindictive," a source told me, explaining the DOJ's rationale.

But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham. Those investigations are focused on the origins of the Russia investigation that included a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign at the end of the 2016 election, the source said.

"There are significant issues emerging with how the FISA was handled and other conduct in the investigation, and everyone involved remains under scrutiny," a second source said.

Patrick Fitzgerald and Daniel Richman, two of Comey's lawyers, and Keith Urbahn, his spokesman, did not return repeated calls and emails seeking comment.

The lack of prosecution is certain to demoralize some conservatives, who long have called for Comey's head. But the IG report, set to be released within the next few weeks, likely will provide significant condemnations of Comey's conduct, sources tell me.

>The Justice Department declined to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey following a criminal referral from the agency's independent watchdog, which concluded that Comey had leaked classified information and showed a lack of candor with investigators.

Small weak case at best. Better to save him for the bigger case:

Although the DOJ declined to prosecute in this case, Comey, who has become a vocal critic of the president since his ouster, is not yet in the clear.

Comey is also a possible target of Horowitz's separate investigation into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse. He signed three of the four FISA applications targeting former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page before being fired by Trump. Horowitz's report is expected to be released after Labor Day.

It is also likely that Comey's actions as FBI director will be scrutinized during the "investigation of the investigators," a review of the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, being led by Attorney General William Barr and the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, John Durham.

A Monday ruling by Attorney General William Barr that limited the ability of migrants to seek asylum in the United States is the latest example of the Trump administration's use of a unique power of the attorney general's office to reshape immigration law.

Barr used a process called "certification" to issue a decision Monday that closes the door on most asylum-seekers who fear persecution due to family ties, overturning years of precedent.

Nunes: FBI/CIA's Actions Against Trump Campaign Overseas Must Be Investigated

The top Republican with the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Devin Nunes told SaraACarter.com there is insurmountable evidence of the FBI's malfeasance regarding the bureau's probe into President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, but what must be investigated is the FBI's actions overseas into the campaign.

Those questions will also naturally involve the CIA and any relationship the clandestine agency had with the bureau during the Russia probe, Nunes said.

What has been revealed during the course of nearly three years of investigations by the Intelligence Committee and others, is that the FBI had informants spying on the campaign. The most damning information was that the FBI had specifically targeted volunteers with the Trump campaign: Carter Page, George Papadopolous, as well as others who traveled outside the United States. Once they were overseas, the FBI had continuing operations and received information from informants to build an investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia.

The details of what actually took place and when the investigation by the bureau actually began, however, remain murky. Nunes said there needs to be a thorough investigation into the role of the FBI and CIA regarding the Trump probe.

"There are so many unanswered questions about what happened in Cambridge, where numerous people were making strange unexplained attempts to contact Trump associates," Nunes told SaraACarter.com. "We already know the FBI committed a lot of abuses in this investigation, and we want to discover whether more were being committed overseas."

Nunes is referring to the University of Cambridge in London, 'Cambridge Intelligence Seminar,' where employees made successful attempts in contacting members with the Trump campaign in 2016, including Carter and Papadopolous.
The CIA And FBI

Nunes also spoke with Maria Bartiromo Sunday on Fox News saying that former CIA Director John Brennan still needs to answer questions. He said it's important for DOJ investigators to know whether it was the FBI or CIA, or both, that lined up confidential sources to contact the Trump campaign.

"Well, as you know, we have jurisdiction over both FBI and CIA and what they do overseas," Nunes told Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. "We have lots of information about FBI people going overseas and doing things, we don't really have any information from CIA."

"So far, they've really come clean. I would say the only one who has questions to answer is John Brennan, because we now know that John Brennan briefed Harry Reid on the dossier in August 2016. At the same time he never briefed me or Paul Ryan who was the speaker of the House at the time."

Nunes has also been pushing for the public release of currently declassified documents turned over by President Trump to the DOJ's Attorney General William Barr. Those documents are expected to reveal details of the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign. In particular information regarding Page and Papadopolous, which sources say will expose that the FBI withheld exculpatory information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

DOJ and FBI Show No Signs of Correcting Past Untruths in Their New Attacks on Encryption

Last week, Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray chose to spend some of their time giving speeches demonizing encryption and calling for the creation of backdoors to allow the government access to encrypted data. You should not spend any of your time listening to them.

Don't be mistaken; the threat to encryption remains high. Australia and the United Kingdom already have laws in place that can enable those governments to undermine encryption, while other countries may follow. And it's definitely dangerous when senior U.S. law enforcement officials talk about encryption the way Barr and Wray did.

The reason to ignore these speeches is that DOJ and FBI have not proven themselves credible on this issue. Instead, they have a long track record of exaggeration and even false statements in support of their position. That should be a bar to convincing anyone-especially Congress-that government backdoors are a good idea.

Barr expressed confidence in the tech sector's "ingenuity" to design a backdoor for law enforcement that will stand up to any unauthorized access, paying no mind to the broad technical and academic consensus in the field that this risk is unavoidable. As the prominent cryptographer and Johns Hopkins University computer science professor Matt Green pointed out on Twitter, the Attorney General made sweeping, impossible-to-support claims that digital security would be largely unaffected by introducing new backdoors. Although Barr paid the barest lip service to the benefits of encryption-two sentences in a 4,000 word speech-he ignored numerous ways encryption protects us all, including preserving not just digital but physical security for the most vulnerable users.

For all of Barr and Wray's insistence that encryption poses a challenge to law enforcement, you might expect that that would be the one area where they'd have hard facts and statistics to back up their claims, but you'd be wrong. Both officials asserted it's a massive problem, but they largely relied on impossible-to-fact-check stories and counterfactuals. If the problem is truly as big as they say, why can't they provide more evidence? One answer is that prior attempts at proof just haven't held up.

Some prime examples of the government's false claims about encryption arose out of the 2016 legal confrontation between Apple and the FBI following the San Bernardino attack. Then-FBI Director James Comey and others portrayed the encryption on Apple devices as an unbreakable lock that stood in the way of public safety and national security. In court and in Congress, these officials said they had no means of accessing an encrypted iPhone short of compelling Apple to reengineer its operating system to bypass key security features. But a later special inquiry by the DOJ Office of the Inspector General revealed that technical divisions within the FBI were already working with an outside vendor to unlock the phone even as the government pursued its legal battle with Apple. In other words, Comey's statements to Congress and the press about the case-as well as sworn court declarations by other FBI officials-were untrue at the time they were made.

Wray, Comey's successor as FBI Director, has also engaged in considerable overstatement about law enforcement's troubles with encryption. In congressional testimony and public speeches, Wray repeatedly pointed to almost 8,000 encrypted phones that he said were inaccessible to the FBI in 2017 alone. Last year, the Washington Post reported that this number was inflated due to a "programming error." EFF filed a Freedom of Information Act request, seeking to understand the true nature of the hindrance encryption posed in these cases, but the government refused to produce any records.

But in their speeches last week, neither Barr nor Wray acknowledged the government's failure of candor during the Apple case or its aftermath. They didn't mention the case at all. Instead, they ask us to turn the page and trust anew. You should refuse. Let's hope Congress does too.

Secret McCabe Texts With MI-5 Counterpart Emerge, Spotlighting UK's Early Role In 'Russiagate'

Newly surfaced text messages between Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and his counterpart at MI-5, the UK's domestic security service, have cast new light on Britain's role in the FBI's 2016 'Russiagate' investigation, according to The Guardian.

Two of the most senior intelligence officials in the US and UK privately shared concerns about "our strange situation" as the FBI launched its 2016 investigation into whether Donald Trump's campaign was colluding with Russia, the Guardian has learned.

Text messages between Andrew McCabe, the deputy director of the FBI at the time, and Jeremy Fleming, his then counterpart at MI5, now the head of GCHQ, also reveal their mutual surprise at the result of the EU referendum, which some US officials regarded as a "wake-up call", according to a person familiar with the matter. -The Guardian

McCabe and Flemming's texts were "infrequent and cryptic," but "occurred with some regularity" after the June 2016 Brexit referendum.

In his text message about the August 2016 meeting, Fleming appeared to be making a reference to Peter Strzok, a senior FBI official who travelled to London that month to meet the Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. Downer had agreed to speak with the FBI about a Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, who had told him that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee in the race. -The Guardian

In 2017, The Guardian reported that Britain's spy agencies had played a key role in alerting their American counterparts of communications between members of the Trump campaign and "suspected Russian agents," which was passed along to the US in what was characterized as a "routine exchange of information."

UK begged Trump not to declassify

In May, President Trump issued a sweeping declassification order on materials related to the DOJ/FBI Russia investigation - leaving it in the hands of Attorney General William Barr to determine exactly what happened to Trump and his campaign before and after the 2016 US election.

"For over a year, people have asked me to declassify. What I've done is declassified everything," said Trump, adding "He can look and I hope he looks at the UK and I hope he looks at Australia and I hope he looks at Ukraine."

"It's the greatest hoax probably in the history of our country and somebody has to get to the bottom of it. We'll see. For a long period of time, they wanted me to declassify and I did."

Critics question 'Five Eyes' push to expand spies' telecoms access

LONDON (Reuters) - Former government officials and privacy campaigners are questioning demands by "Five Eyes" security ministers that high-tech communications systems should remain accessible to spies and official investigators.

A meeting in London of security and law enforcement officials from the Five Eyes group expressed concern this week that high-tech companies were moving to "deliberately design their systems in a way that precludes any form of access to content, even in cases of the most serious crimes."

The group comprises the U.S, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

They said that tech companies, "should include mechanisms in the design of their encrypted products and services, whereby governments, acting with appropriate legal authority, can obtain access to data in a readable and usable format."

Priti Patel, Britain's new interior minister, said that Five Eyes governments were united that tech firms should not develop their systems and services, including end-to-end encryption, "in ways that empower criminals or put vulnerable people at risk."

Ben Wizner, an expert in national security law with the American Civil Liberties Union, said that the anti-encryption push by security officials, including William Barr, President Donald Trump's Attorney General, who attended the London meeting, in part appear to be directed at Apple, which clashed with the FBI over efforts to decrypt the mobile phone of a mass shooter in California in 2015.

Wizner said that any access mechanism that tech companies were required to put into encrypted systems would give U.S. and allied authorities access to private message traffic and that foreign governments and spy agencies, such as Russia's SVR or FSB, would have legitimate cause to insist that they be allowed to use the same access mechanisms.

A former senior European security official said the Five Eyes language regarding the need for government access in telecoms systems was "very general" at best.

The former official noted that one proposal floated recently by some British officials would not leave open a "back door" for official surveillance in encrypted systems but rather would provide for a wiretap equivalent by tapping a device at one end of the conversation after the message had been decrypted.

"It doesn't mean weakening encryption, just going around it," the ex-official said of this proposal. But this plan has been sharply attacked by the tech industry.

Britain hosts 'Five Eyes' security alliance ministers for cyber talks

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-fiveeyes/britain-hosts-five-eyes-security-alliance-ministers-for-cyber-talks-idUSKCN1UO1DG

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain hosted a meeting of senior security ministers from the U.S.-led 'Five Eyes' intelligence alliance on Monday for talks on tackling cyber threats ranging from political hacking to child pornography.

British interior minister Priti Patel, appointed last week by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, hosted the ministerial meeting to focus on emerging threats and how to deal with the "opportunities and risks" posed by new technologies.

Patel said in a statement that specific topics included cyber security, encryption and "online harms".

"The UK is a global leader on national security and child protection and we are committed to working with our close partners on shared challenges," Patel said.

According to Patel, at some point governmental participants will attend an industry roundtable to discuss "countering online child sexual exploitation and abuse" which will include discussions with Facebook, Google and Microsoft.

Last year, representatives of social media companies declined government invitations to participate in the same annual conference.

Facebook said it would attend the meeting this week. Google and Microsoft did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Security ministers from the Five Eyes alliance - Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - will attend the conference sessions on Monday and Tuesday.

The Five Eyes alliance evolved from a secret World War Two alliance between British and U.S. cypher and code breaking teams.

On Wednesday, top law enforcement officials from the Five Eyes countries, including U.S. Attorney General William Barr and his top national security enforcer, John Demers, will attend a related London meeting.

Recently Barr sparked controversy by suggesting that spy agencies may need new powers to monitor social media activity.

He was…. but, who knows?

Why was Barr chosen, given his shocking and deeply criminal cover-up kingpin background?
For a presidential administration whose mandate was the eradication of corruption, the "draining of the swamp", and the restoration of law?
With the nomination of William Barr for attorney general, that is what President Donald Trump wants American citizens and the world to accept.
Fawning mainstream media coverage, and streams of puff pieces laud Barr as a "respected" establishment "legal scholar", as do Donald Trump's Twitter posts about Barr.
The fact is, there is nothing to "respect" and everything to condemn about Barr's work as a key inner circle operative throughout George Herbert Walker Bush's rise to power, from CIA Director to Vice President to President. These aspects of Barr's resume remain whitewashed by mainstream coverage. They have been amply documented by whistleblowers and those who worked directly with Barr.
The issue at hand is not Barr's "legal mind", but the ruthless mind that he wielded with frightening authority and expertise as George H. W. Bush's treasonous hatchet man in the Justice Department. William Barr distorted and corrupted the law, as grossly as anyone in modern history.
Barr: CIA operative
It is a sobering fact that American presidents (many of whom have been corrupt) have gone out of their way to hire fixers to be their attorney generals.
Consider recent history: Loretta Lynch (2015-2017), Eric Holder (2009-2015), Michael Mukasey (2007-2009), Alberto Gonzales (2005-2007), John Ashcroft (2001-2005),Janet Reno (1993-2001), Dick Thornburgh (1988-1991), Ed Meese (1985-1988), etc.
Barr, however, is a particularly spectacular and sordid case. As George H.W. Bush's most notorious insider, and as the AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr wreaked havoc, flaunted the rule of law, and proved himself to be one of the CIA/Deep State's greatest and most ruthless champions and protectors:
Barr was a full-time CIA operative, recruited by Langley out of high school, starting in 1971. Barr's youth career goal was to head the CIA.
CIA operative assigned to the China directorate, where he became close to powerful CIA operative George H.W. Bush, whose accomplishments already included the CIA/Cuba Bay of Pigs, Asia CIA operations (Vietnam War, Golden Triangle narcotics), Nixon foreign policy (Henry Kissinger), and the Watergate operation.
When George H.W. Bush became CIA Director in 1976, Barr joined the CIA's "legal office" and Bush's inner circle, and worked alongside Bush's longtime CIA enforcers Theodore "Ted" Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, and others, several of whom were likely involved with the Bay of Pigs/John F. Kennedy assassination, and numerous southeast Asian operations, from the Phoenix Program to Golden Triangle narco-trafficking.
Barr stonewalled and destroyed the Church Committee investigations into CIA abuses.
Barr stonewalled and stopped inquiries in the CIA bombing assassination of Chilean opposition leader Orlando Letelier.
Barr joined George H.W. Bush's legal/intelligence team during Bush's vice presidency (under President Ronald Reagan) Rose from assistant attorney general to Chief Legal Counsel to attorney general (1991) during the Bush 41 presidency.
Barr was a key player in the Iran-Contra operation, if not the most important member of the apparatus, simultaneously managing the operation while also "fixing" the legal end, ensuring that all of the operatives could do their jobs without fear of exposure or arrest.
In his attorney general confirmation, Barr vowed to "attack criminal organizations", drug smugglers and money launderers. It was all hot air: as AG, Barr would preserve, protect, cover up, and nurture the apparatus that he helped create, and use Justice Department power to escape punishment.
Barr stonewalled and stopped investigations into all Bush/Clinton and CIA crimes, including BCCI and BNL CIA drug banking, the theft of Inslaw/PROMIS software, and all crimes of state committed by Bush.
Barr provided legal cover for Bush's illegal foreign policy and war crimes.
Barr left Washington, and went through the "rotating door" to the corporate world, where he took on numerous directorships and counsel positions for major companies. In 2007 and again from 2017, Barr was counsel for politically-connected international law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Among its other notable attorneys and alumni are Kenneth Starr, John Bolton, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and numerous Trump administration attorneys. K&E's clients include sex trafficker/pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.
A strong case can be made that William Barr was as powerful and important a figure in the Bush apparatus as any other, besides Poppy Bush himself.

Declass Wednesday Trump Assassination Thwarted?

Are you Awake? Can you see the signs of a secret battle going on between the DEM communists and the GOP facists; before our eyes battling for control over America. Known as Faction 1 and Faction 2, the same secret war between Coke and Pepsi, or between McDonalds and Burger King.

The same black and white checkerboard operation of the Freemasons. Most of the mases are asleep and standing right in the crossfire. Read and Understand this Sequence of Events-

JULY 2ND - There was a story that the Navy fired and hit a Russian Sub off the coast of Alaska; and Russia reported that they sunk a US submarine. The news said a Russian sub caught fire killing 14 Russian sailors, sounds more like a torpedo than a ship fire. Well maybe that misisng sunk navy sub was actually one operated by rougue CIA or Mossad; firing on a Russian Sub to start World War III. Trump recently did remove a Navy Officer as his Secretary of Defense and installed an Army Officer Mark Esper, could the Navy no longer be trusted?

JULY 8TH - Epstein is arrested, Read our previous Article on the real purpose of the Epstein operation, being illegal Nuclear Arms Trade; covered up as the media will only discuss pedo.

JULY 13TH - House votes to pass a bill in favor of what??? Broadcasting online from Guantanamo Prison, will there be public trials coming soon?

JULY 15TH - Department of Homeland Security announces they will install Nuclear Detectors at Ports and Border Crossings, this comes out of Los Angeles, Q has been saying, keep an eye on the Port of Long Beach.

JULY 23RD - We learned that the Army Helicopters were suddenly operating over the skies of Washington DC as part of a Classified Domestic Blackhawk Mission, to protect the president from ISIS Snipers. The helicopters were launched to take the high ground from potential snipers on building tops; and you can bet that those buildings are continually being monitored now.

JULY 25TH - Twenty-Three navy seals, a platoon is sent home, we are told they were drunk in Iraq; but leaks claim they were smuggling ISIS snipers into the USA through our southern border.

JULY 25TH - William Barr re-instates the Death Penalty, including for the crime of High Treason.

JULY 25TH - Busy day, Hit attempt to take out Jeffrey Epstein.

JULY 26TH - Sixteen Marines are arrested, Near the Southern Border, for Child Traffiking we are told, again leaks said they were to pick up the ISIS snipers at the border and bring them to Washington DC to eliminate President Trump.

JULY 28TH - Dan Coates is forced to step down as Director of National Intelligence, connected to the assasination attempt maybe? Trump had already pulled the security clearance of John Brennen. All seems like treachery from within.

JULY 31ST - Tommorrow Wednesday, it appears that with all these threats against the President, they have been moved up the timeline to July instead of August. We should see DECLASS WEDNESDAY for some documents; and shortly after that the arrest of Comey and Brennen, maybe others, dare we see Clinton-Bush-Obama arrests in our lifetime?

Across the USA there are over 100,000 sealed indictments, the normal number is around 10,000. We could receive a whitehouse txt alert and mass arrests. Strap on your seat belt, could be a wild ride.

After Trump ordered the intelligence community to cooperate with Barr the New York Times reported that if Barr declassifies the documents he would reveal one of the agencies most trusted assets in Russia.

According to the New York Times the asset is "close to [Vladimir] Putin" and someone who gave the CIA "information about [Putin's] involvement" in U.S. election interference.

However, according to sources that spoke with SaraACarter.com, who have knowledge of the documents, Barr would not reveal any information that would harm U.S. national security.

Mark Meadows bypasses FBI to appeal for release of info linked to FISA abuse report

Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., is getting impatient with the FBI in his effort to root out misconduct in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation and went over Director Christopher Wray's head to try and move things along.

In the balance, the GOP investigator said in a letter to top Justice Department officials last week, is the American public's ability to fully understand DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's upcoming report on alleged surveillance abuses.

In the letter addressed to Attorney General William Barr and Horowitz, Meadows pushed for the unredacted release of five pages related to British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who compiled an unverified dossier on President Trump's ties to Russia that was used by the bureau to obtain the authority to spy on a member of his campaign, Carter Page.

Meadows cited a Freedom of Information Act legal battle over the disclosure of documents from Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec that followed her meeting with Steele on Oct. 11, 2016, 10 days before the first Page warrant application was submitted. Notes taken from that meeting by Kavalec, obtained and released by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation, cast doubt on Steele's reliability. Kavalec wrote that during that meeting Steele admitted he was encouraged by his client, which was the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, to get his research out before the November 2016 election, signaling a possible political motivation. Kavalec's notes also show she believed some of Steele's allegations were false.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain hosted a meeting of senior security ministers from the U.S.-led 'Five Eyes' intelligence alliance on Monday for talks on tackling cyber threats ranging from political hacking to child pornography.

On Wednesday, top law enforcement officials from the Five Eyes countries, including U.S. Attorney General William Barr and his top national security enforcer, John Demers, will attend a related London meeting.

Recently Barr sparked controversy by suggesting that spy agencies may need new powers to monitor social media activity.

AG Barr is attending! Must be related to FIVE EYES Q posts.

Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum

None Dare Call It Treason: President Trump Must Fight Fire With Fire And Hold The 'Coup D'Etat' Leaders Responsible For Their Crimes Against America

- With Others Watching, Justice Against The Coup Plotters Is Absolutely Necessary For Reasons Of National Security.

"Attorney General William Barr should aggressively investigate, indict, and imprison leaders of the attempted coup d'etat who served and are serving in the FBI, DOJ, Intelligence Community, and Democratic Party."

"Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why, if treason doth prosper. None dare call it treason." -Sir John Harrington (1561-1612)

"Conservatives should not be applauding the Mueller Report for finding no collusion with Russia by President Trump during his election campaign or after. The Mueller investigation itself was never legitimate. It was part of a conspiracy by the Obama administration, the Democratic Party, and their minions in the FBI and Justice Department against Mr. Trump, his allies, voters, and the Constitution. Any intelligent person, not wholly blinded by fanatical anti-Trump partisanship, should have understood all along that the Mueller investigation, a stacked deck, staffed with highly partisan activist Democratic lawyers, was biased and bogus."

"Any intelligent person, not rendered insane by anti-Trump hatred, should have understood all along that vociferous accusations by Democrats and the liberal mainstream media that President Trump colluded with Russia to win election - that President Trump is a traitor - was and is utter nonsense. Indeed, these false accusations against President Trump, that seek to delegitimize his administration and cancel the ballots cast by Trump voters, is the real act of treason."

http://allnewspipeline.com/None_Dare_Call_It_Treason_Dr_Pry.php

(INTELLIHUB) - President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that whoever was involved in the fabrication of the Russian collusion hoax should stand trial for treason and said that precedence needs to be set for future offenders.
The 72-year-old commander-in-chief made clear on a telephone interview that former FBI agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page had wanted an "insurance policy" months before the Robert Mueller investigation began "just in case Hillary Clinton lost."
"...what we were playing out until just recently was the insurance policy," Trump said. "They wanted to do a subversion - it was treason."

https://www.intellihub.com/donald-trump-considers-charging-fabricators-of-russian-collusion-hoax-with-treason/

"The facts of what really happened via the dark Deep State underbelly of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax are (finally) leaking out a bit these days as more and more voters come to realize that what really happened was a shocking attempted coup of a duly elected President of the United States by deeply entrenched powers from within the U.S. government."

Via PJ Media:

"Trump Was Not Just Spied Upon But Entrapped
It's bad enough, as has been evident for some time, that Donald Trump and his campaign were being spied upon by our own government, but it's highly likely they were also subject to literal entrapment-at least a serious attempt was made.
I don't mean the entrapment of promulgating the salacious Steele dossier both to the public and the FISA court as if it were the truth. That was more of a smear to justify a phony investigation. I mean something more subtle and LeCarré-like coming from the depths of our intelligence communities. It raises once more the question of the power of such agencies in a free society, a conundrum with no easy answers but of great significance to our lives."

FBI Braces for Durham's First Intel Drop; 'No One Is Safe'

The cartel members of the FBI who tried to illegally unseat a president of the United States are bracing for what is shaping up as a disastrous week, according to many Feds.

And there is definite unrest inside the Bureau which includes director Christopher Wray who was reportedly in the process of making "drastic changes" with high-ranking FBI personnel, federal law enforcement officials confirmed - whether warranted or not.

"It's knee-jerk week," one FBI insider said. "One of those deals where you don't know if your ass is on the line next for challenging top leadership or something they may have cooked up to try to get you to leave the building."

The overall feeling among many top-level spooks? No one is safe. Especially those who have openly challenged the corrupt culture in the Bureau.

The cause of the panic could have something to do with declassified documents that are slated to drop this week, a byproduct of U.S Attorney John Durham's probe into the FBI and DOJ. Durham was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the role of top government officials' spying on Donald Trump and his campaign.

Look for the fireworks to begin on Wednesday, some insiders have predicted.

Meanwhile, insiders say the FBI is increasingly in shambles.

Q Research General #9268: The More You Know Edition

Rep. John Ratcliffe loves Fox's Mueller conspiracy theories. Trump wants him to oversee U.S. intelligence.
Melissa Joskow / Media Matters

Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX), President Donald Trump's newly announced pick to be the next director of National Intelligence overseeing the 17 U.S. intelligence services, doesn't have much experience in intelligence. Previous occupants of the position have had long careers serving in the U.S. Senate, military, foreign service, or intelligence agencies. By contrast, Ratcliffe, a former U.S. attorney and small town mayor, is a third-term congressman who joined the House Intelligence Committee a scant six months ago.

What Ratcliffe really brings to the table is a willingness to protect Trump from the implications of former special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election by parroting the fantasies of the president's most ardent Fox News defenders.

A few days after interviewing for the job, the congressman benefited from the opportunity to "essentially audition for the president" during Mueller's Wednesday hearings, The New York Times reported. If those hearings were Ratcliffe's audition, then callbacks came Thursday when he used an interview on Fox & Friends, one of the president's favorite programs, to play the network's anti-Mueller hits to the audience of one.

On Fox, Ratcliffe claimed that the Mueller report was written by "a bunch of lawyers that didn't like Donald Trump." He suggested that the way "Russia really did interfere" with the election was with a "fake dossier" provided to Democrats. And he accused former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey of violating the Espionage Act, adding that the Justice Department probe that Attorney General William Barr has ordered could provide "accountability."

"The big winner yesterday," he added at one point, "was Donald Trump, because impeachment is dead.

Trump is trying to replace someone who refused to operate in his personal interest with someone who will. Outgoing National Intelligence Director Dan Coats lost the president's favor by loudly defending the U.S. intelligence service's conclusion that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election to benefit Trump, and he has sounded the alarm that the Kremlin will target the 2020 elections as well. Ratcliffe, meanwhile, has adopted Fox host Sean Hannity's moronic position that the "real collusion" during the 2016 election was between Russia and the Democrats.

Such a personnel shift can have profound consequences. Trump forced out former Attorney General Jeff Sessions because Sessions was unwilling to use the Justice Department to defend the president and punish his enemies. His replacement, Barr, had publicly indicated that he was willing to do so; as attorney general, Barr opened the investigation into the inception of the Mueller probe that Fox hosts had demanded.

Trump wants a National Intelligence director who will similarly parrot Fox conspiracy theories and use the office to the president's benefit. In Ratcliffe, he believes he's found his man.

Russia Probe Twist: The FBI, A Convicted Russian Agent, & A Billionaire American CEO

If what you already know about the FBI's investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia has you wondering what can come next, "make sure you are sitting down because it's about to get worse," said Patrick Byrne, the philanthropist and CEO of the mega online retail chain Overstock.com.

Byrne revealed never published details about his intimate relationship with the Russian gun right's activist and libertarian, Maria Butina, who is now serving out her sentence after pleading guilty in 2018 to working as a foreign agent in the U.S. without registering.

In an interview several weeks ago, Byrne recounted first meeting Butina at Freedom Fest 2015. He described the relationship that developed between the two and revealed that he had initiated contact in July, 2015 with the FBI after his first meeting with Butina. He also disclosed that he met twice with Justice Department attorneys in April, 2019 giving a total of seven hours of interviews on the separate occasions. A source directly familiar with the interviews, confirmed those meetings took place.

Butina's lawyer, Robert Driscoll, also confirmed the relationship between Byrne and Butina. Driscoll stated that he also had relayed the information to the FBI and prosecutors earlier during his trial, and asked repeatedly about any Brady material -exculpatory information - that the bureau may have collected from Byrne on Butina, to no avail. The bureau denied it had any information regarding Byrne and Butina's relationship, said Driscoll.

On Thursday, Driscoll sent a letter to United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation; Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is conducting an investigation into the bureau's origins of the Trump probe and Corey Amundson, with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility.

The attorney general warned that time is running out for tech companies to help law enforcement access encrypted messages during investigations.
William Barr delivered the keynote address at the International Conference on Cyber Security Tuesday.
The message follows previous clashes between law enforcement and tech companies that have previously refused to help officials crack encrypted messages during investigations.

In a keynote address at the International Conference on Cyber Security in New York, Barr said that the inability for law enforcement to tap into communication among dangerous actors is a major threat to public safety and national security.

Nicholas Tartaglione - a former NYPD officer accused of killing four men over a drug deal gone wrong - claims he found Epstein unconscious on Tuesday night.
Epstein, 66, tried to hang himself before Tartaglione, 49, quickly called for help, according to The New York Daily News.

Investigators were initially trying to determine whether Tartaglione had assaulted Epstein or whether the billionaire financier had attempted to end his own life when he was found in his cell.
Epstein was rushed to hospital with neck injuries, while Tartaglione was questioned about Epstein's behavior and mental state in the hours before he was found on the floor.
However, Tartaglione's attorney Bruce Barket told DailyMail.com on Friday that the pair had struck up a close friendship following Epstein's arrest on July 6.
The twosome are in the same Special Housing Unit which is home to 99 inmates who pose a security risk or have violated disciplinary rules.
Muscle-bound Tartaglione is accused of murdering four men following a botched cocaine deal in December 2016.
Attorney General William Barr declared back in March that prosecutors would be seeking the death penalty over the callous crime.
Tartaglione is alleged to have lured his four victims to a bar in upstate New York, before he held them their against their will and killed them.
He reportedly shot three of the men in the backs of their heads.
Police say he was aided by another former New York City officer - Joseph Biggs, 57.
The pair allegedly drove the bodies to Tartaglione's farm about 30 minutes away and buried them in a wooded area.
Meanwhile, Tartaglione's attorney told DailyMail.com that his client had bonded with Epstein over the horrible conditions inside Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Barket said that the MCC was an 'inherently bad place' because the lights are on all the time and the frosted glass means no direct sun gets in.
The only time inmates can spend outside is the rare occasions they are allowed on the exercise yard on the roof - but that has a cage on the top.
He said: 'At times prisoners are kept for days in their cells because the guards are too lazy to let them out.
'The place is infested with insects and rodents and there is black mold in the shower. Most of the cells have leaks so there is standing water in many of them.
'The guards refuse to wash the bed linen so inmates have the same sheets for far too long. The food is barely edible and the vents are covered in dust.
'The medical care is virtually nonexistent. It's a small thing but even the clocks in the attorney visiting room don't have batteries because they don't replace them'
Barket said that the prison was a 'violent place' and that Tartaglione had recently been assaulted by another inmate who put his locker lock inside a sock and hit his head with it'.
The rodent infestation extends to the prison commissary where inmates can buy food and snacks - and the cells themselves.
Barket said: 'A week ago Nick woke up and realized he'd accidentally smothered a rat in his sleep. It's disgusting'.
Epstein is imprisoned at MCC after being charged with molesting girls at his homes in New York and West Palm Beach between 2002 and 2005.
He has pleaded not guilty to two charges of sex trafficking and is next due in court on Wednesday.

Q Research General #9243: Anons Of The Corn Edition

Bill Barr is dirty as fuck and you all stick up for him shamefully

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Attorney General nominee William Barr have focused heavily on Barr's views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But nobody is asking about Barr's legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens.

Barr received a routine questionnaire from the Judiciary Committee asking him to disclose his past work including pro bono activities "serving the disadvantaged." The "disadvantaged" that Barr spent the most time helping was an FBI agent who slayed an Idaho mother holding her baby in 1992. Barr spent two weeks organizing former Attorneys General and others to support "an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident." Barr also "assisted in framing legal arguments advanced... in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit," he told the committee.

That charitable work (for an FBI agent who already had a federally-paid law firm defending him) helped tamp down one of the biggest scandals during Barr's time as Attorney General from 1991 to early 1993. Barr was responsible for both the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, two federal agencies whose misconduct at Ruby Ridge "helped to weaken the bond of trust that must exist between ordinary Americans and our law enforcement agencies," according to a 1995 Senate Judiciary Committee report.

May 24 article.

Intel chief warns Barr could imperil national security by declassifying documents
The nation's intelligence chief expressed hope Friday that Attorney General William Barr would adhere to "long-established standards" during his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe - but warned the release of "highly-sensitive classified information" would imperil national security.

"Much like we have with other investigations and reviews, the Intelligence Community (IC) will provide the Department of Justice all of the appropriate information for its review of intelligence activities related to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election," Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said in a statement.
"As part of that process, I am confident that the Attorney General will work with the IC in accordance with the long-established standards to protect highly-sensitive classified information that, if publicly released, would put our national security at risk," Coats said.
He added that the intelligence community "will continue to faithfully execute its mission of providing timely, apolitical intelligence to the President and policymakers."

Q Research General #9215: CA goes for more gun control! Ghost guns in their sites? Q drops! Edition

If what you already know about the FBI's investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia has you wondering what can come next, "make sure you are sitting down because it's about to get worse," said Patrick Byrne, the philanthropist and CEO of the mega online retail chain Overstock.com.

Byrne revealed never published details about his intimate relationship with the Russian gun right's activist and libertarian, Maria Butina, who is now serving out her sentence after pleading guilty in 2018 to working as a foreign agent in the U.S. without registering.

In an interview several weeks ago, Byrne recanted first meeting Butina at Freedom Fest 2015. He described the relationship that developed between the two and revealed that he had initiated contact in July, 2015 with the FBI after his first meeting with Butina. He also disclosed that he met twice with attorney's from the Department of Justice in April, giving a total of seven hours of interviews on the separate occasions. A source directly familiar with the interviews, confirmed those meetings took place.

Butina's lawyer, Robert Driscoll, also confirmed the relationship between Byrne and Butina. Driscoll stated that he also had relayed the information to the FBI and prosecutors earlier during his trial, and asked repeatedly about any Brady material -exculpatory information - that the bureau may have collected from Byrne on Butina, to no avail. The bureau denied it had any information regarding Byrne and Butina's relationship, Driscoll's letter stated.

On Thursday, Driscoll sent a letter to United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation; Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is conducting an investigation into the bureau's origins of the Trump probe and Corey Amundson, with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility.

"In writing, the government denied the existence of any such Brady material," Driscoll stated in his letter. "Orally, during debrief sessions with Maria, I directly told the government that I believed Patrick Byrne, Chief Executive of Overstock.com, who had a sporadic relationship with Maria over a period of years prior to her arrest, was a government informant. My speculation was flatly denied. My associate Alfred Carry made similar assertions in a separate debrief that he covered and was also rebuffed."

"Mr. Byrne has now contacted me and has confirmed that he, indeed, had a 'non-standard arrangement' with the FBI for many years, and that beginning in 2015 through Maria's arrest, he communicated and assisted government agents with their investigation of Maria. During this time, he stated he acted at the direction of the government and federal agents by, at their instruction, kindling a manipulative romantic relationship with her. He also told me that some of the details he provided the government regarding Maria in response was exculpatory-that is, he reported to the government that Maria's behavior and interaction with him was inconsistent with her being a foreign agent and more likely an idealist and age-appropriate peace activist."

"As an adjunct university professor and CEO of a public company, Mr. Byrne is a credible source of information, who from my view has little to gain but much to lose by disclosing a sporadic relationship with Maria. His claims are worthy of investigation. Indeed, he has much to say about the government's handling of Maria's case that go far beyond the Brady issue I raise in this letter. Regardless of these other issues, which I suggest you pursue directly with him, I was told the following by Mr. Byrne," Driscoll's letter states.
Overstock.Com
But Byrne's decision to come forward didn't come lightly. However, he said it was necessary after watching what had transpired between the FBI, the intelligence community and the probe into President Trump's campaign over the past several years.

"It was something I knew I had to do," he told this reporter. "Those running the operation were not honest and in the end I realized I was being used in some sort of soft coup."

This /ourgirl/ Sara Carter Story is Huuuuuge

On Thursday, Driscoll sent a letter to United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation; Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is conducting an investigation into the bureau's origins of the Trump probe and Corey Amundson, with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility.

But Byrne's decision to come forward didn't come lightly. However, he said it was necessary after watching what had transpired between the FBI, the intelligence community and the probe into President Trump's campaign over the past several years.

"It was something I knew I had to do," he told this reporter. "Those running the operation were not honest and in the end I realized I was being used in some sort of soft coup."

Familiar with the possible backlash he will face, he made the decision to go public after speaking to his mentor and long time friend billionaire Warren Buffet, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Buffet, who Bryne describes as his 'Rabbi,' sent SaraACarter.com a statement Tuesday night confirming his meeting with Byrne at his home in Omaha, Nebraska several weeks ago.

"I've known Patrick and his family for more than 40 years," Buffet said in an email to this reporter. "His father, Jack Byrne, saved GEICO in 1976 and I met his three boys when they were teenagers. Both Mark, the middle son, and Patrick, the youngest, worked for Berkshire Hathaway. Patrick helped the company without pay in solving a difficult business problem. Patrick is very intelligent and patriotic. He comes by Omaha periodically to see me. At the most recent visit - a few weeks ago - though I know nothing about the subject he was describing, I told him to follow his conscience."
Byrne's Reveal

There are only several other reporters with knowledge of what you are about to read and another who is aware of the situation with Byrne. Byrne recounted his story of his involvement with the FBI and DOJ on video during the private meeting he arranged with this reporter, and several others.

The meeting between Byrne and the journalists took place in New York City. It was a little more than three hours long, for the most part completely on the record and video taped. He told his story in seven parts.

Trump admits he allowed Devin Nunes access to classified intelligence documents about Russia investigation

Donald Trump has given the US attorney general permission to share classified information about the Russia investigation with Devin Nunes, the Republican House Intelligence Committee ranking member who has called for Justice Department and FBI officials to be jailed over the probe.

The US president said he had given William Barr "a total release" of documents relating to the investigation into Moscow's interference in the 2016 election, and had also "given him authorisation to release it to whoever he wants".

"He's got everything; everything he needs, he's got," he told Sean

Hannity in an interview on Fox News on Thursday night.

Mr Trump added: "He's the attorney general of the United States, he's has got a lot of very good people under him that I guess are involved and I gave them a total release. So, all of it's been released and he has all of it.

"I've also given him authorisation to release it to whoever he wants, whether it's his people or frankly perhaps people like Devin Nunes, who is a star."

Mr Nunes, the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, this week portrayed allegations that Mr Trump's presidential campaign team colluded with Russia as a "hoax" comparable to "the Loch Ness monster".

Earlier this month, he described officials who triggered Robert Mueller's Russia investigation as "a bunch of dirty cops".

"Some of them better go to jail, or we're going to go down in a spiral in this country because you will not have a Republican that will trust the FBI or the Department of Justice for generations to come," he told Fox News presenter Bill Hemmer.

Mr Mueller, giving testimony on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, rejected Mr Trump's claims to have been been exonerated by the special counsel's report.

"That is not what the report said. The president was not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed," he told congress.

Sebastian Gorka: 'It's a Disgrace That Robert Mueller So Betrayed His Oath of Office'

Democrats and Republicans took turns firing questions at former special counsel Robert Mueller during his testimony in front of Congress on July 24, with Democrats trying to frame old information from the report as obstruction and Republicans trying to pry new information from Mueller's tight-lipped testimony on the origins of the investigation.

Due to ongoing investigations, Mueller was obligated to keep his responses to unredacted information from his report.

Sebastian Gorka, former Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump, military and intelligence analyst, and radio host of America First, called Mueller's testimony an "utter disaster for the Democrats" and a "disgrace."

"His lies were plain for everyone to see," Gorka told The Epoch Times. "We don't do this in America. We don't use law enforcement intelligence for political purposes against our political rivals ... that's what the Mueller investigation was."

Accountability

Gorka said he has faith in Attorney General William Barr to get to the bottom of how the FBI counterintelligence investigation started and to hold those in intelligence agencies accountable.

"The British government is culpable," said Gorka. "The Australian government is culpable-this so-called diplomat [Alexander Downer] that gave millions of dollars from the Australian Government to the Hillary Clinton Foundation.

"This is the next iteration of the story: the genesis and the culpability of what are called liaison services in the broader intelligence community."

Republicans are still questioning to what extent the Obama administration was involved with spying on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.

"There is no way on God's earth that the Obama administration at the level of director of the CIA, NSA, and FBI initiated Crossfire Hurricane, initiated political espionage operations on the Republican Party and their candidate, without the White House knowing and without the president knowing," Gorka said.

"We have the Strzok and Page text which says Obama wants to know everything, the White House wants briefings, so it's absolutely... it is in the realm of fantasy that President Obama did not know about the illegal espionage on the Republican Party and Donald Trump."

'What Page is That?'

Mueller at times during his testimony seemed unfamiliar with some details of the report.

Gorka said he strongly believes that it was Mueller's top prosecutor, Andrew Weissman, who was the one that wrote the report.

"I mean look at the testimony," he said. "They were asking him simple questions regarding Fusion GPS, the progenitor of the opposition research dossier that was used to obtain illegal FISA warrants against the Trump campaign, and he doesn't know? And constantly he's saying, 'Oh could you tell me what page that's on?'"

Gorka said Mueller made a political decision to provide top cover as a "Republican" to a band of Hillary Clinton donors and lawyers, and that his deputy, Weissmann, was with Clinton in New York the night of the election expecting to celebrate with her.

"It was a travesty, and it's clear the person who learned the most about the Mueller report yesterday, was Robert Mueller," Gorka said.

According to a 2002 profile in New York - the one with the Trump quote - Epstein dropped out of Cooper Union and NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences before finding a job teaching calculus and physics at the Dalton School in the mid-1970s. Epstein was hired at the prestigious Manhattan college-prep institution by the father of Attorney General William Barr, and his students included the son of Bear Stearns chairman Alan Greenberg. In 1976, Epstein joined Bear as a floor trader's assistant, making partner in a mere four years. By 1981, he was out, setting up the J. Epstein & Co. money-management business the next year. New York described his business strategy in 2002:

Attorney General William Barr directed the Bureau of Prisons to schedule the executions of five inmates convicted of murder and other crimes. The executions have been scheduled for December 2019 and January 2020.
The Supreme Court outlawed state and federal death penalty laws in the 1972 decision Furman v. Georgia. The federal death penalty was reinstated in 1988, and expanded by Congress in 1994. No federal executions took place, however, until 2001, according to to the Bureau of Prisons website.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/25/federal-government-to-reinstate-the-death-penalty-after-nearly-two-decades/

Attorney General William Barr on Thursday issued a directive paving the way for the federal government to resume the use of the death penalty for the first time in nearly two decades, the Department of Justice announced.
According to the agency, Barr ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to adopt a proposed addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol to allow for capital punishment to resume. The DOJ provided descriptions of five individuals it seeks to have executed in the months of December and January: Daniel Lewis Lee, a white supremacist, who murdered three people, including an eight-year-old girl; Lezmond Mitchell, who stabbed to death a 63-year-old grandmother and slit the throat of her nine-year-old granddaughter; Wesley Ira Purkey, who raped and killed a 16-year-old girl; Alfred Bourgeoism who molested, and beat to death his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter; Dustin Lee Honken, who shot dead five people.

"Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people's representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President," Attorney General William Barr said in a statement. "Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding. The Justice Department upholds the rule of law-and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system."

Additional executions will be announced at a later date, the DOJ stated.

President Barack Obama ordered a review of the death penalty in 2014 after a botched state execution in Oklahoma. The findings of the review are unclear and it is unknown whether the review will impact the way in which future executions will be carried out.

The move by Barr comes after former Vice President Joe Biden announced his support for eliminating of the federal death penalty, despite supporting it for decades. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) is the sole 2020 White House candidate to publically support preserving capital punishment in specific cases.

Epstein On Way to Israel? UPDATE 35 to the Second Greatest Story Ever Told

ROBERT STEELE: Epstein is easily a bishop on the chessboard between Trump and the Deep State inclusive of its Zionist underbelly. Epstein should be in one of our special detention facilities deep inside a military base with its own perimeter, under safehouse conditions, being systematically debriefed. That he is in a cell where he could commit suicide or be attacked calls into question the competence of President Trump's national security team (as well as their loyalty - Bolton and Pompeo clearly want Epstein to die and will do everything they can to help destroy all useful information). The Mossad and CIA and FBI probably have copies of all of the damning videos, what they want to conceal now is WHO was blackmailed and WHAT those being blackmailed did for them. That is precisely what President Trump should be going after. Clown show - or treason in the guise of incompetence? My guess: the latter. This does however also continue the cover-up pattern of which NBC is clearly a part, to wit, no Mossad to see here folks, move along....

Then of course there is the more subtle plan, which is that this is a prequel to Epstein's being found "dead" and quickly exported, very much alive, to minister to a cluster of little girls and boys deep inside Israel where many of the leaders are both Satanically possessed and very much in the pedophile and murderous pedophile mode. President Donald Trump is not being responsible about how he looks after this case and neither is Attorney General William Barr.

The veils remain in place:

4th: Les Wexner as financier of fake billionaire Jeffrey Epstein
5th: Mossad control of it all, upgrading from Maxwell's prostitution ring
6th: CIA and FBI complicity from day one
7th: 49 other Mossad pedophilia entrapment operations, one in each state

Barr And State AGs Discuss Big Tech Monopolies As 'Flipped' Facebook Co-Founder Helps Devise Antitrust Action

A bipartisan group of eight state attorneys general met with US Attorney General William Barr on Thursday to discuss "the real concerns consumers across the country have with big tech companies stifling competition," according to Politico.

"Our bipartisan coalition of eight state attorneys general was pleased with the opportunity to meet with U.S. Attorney General Barr to talk about the real concerns consumers across the country have with big tech companies stifling competition on the internet," reads a joint statement from the state AGs, which include Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana.

A Justice Department spokesperson declined comment. Some of the states that had planned to attend the meeting, including Nebraska and Arizona, have opened inquiries into Google's practices. Representatives from the Nebraska and Arizona offices did not immediately return requests for comment.

The potential state action adds yet another layer to the growing scrutiny of the power of online platforms. In announcing its antitrust review this week, the DOJ said it will consider "widespread concerns" expressed about search, social media and online retail services. -Politico

Meanwhile, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes is has been meeting with regulators to make the case for breaking up the social media giant, according to the New York Times.

"Treason. Treason. It's treason," Trump said in an interview with CBN News. The president did not elaborate on the specific charge but repeated his assertion that the previous administration "spied" on his campaign in the course of the Russia probe. "They'd been spying on my campaign," Trump told CBN News's David Brody. "Turned out I was right. Let's see what happens to them now." Trump signaled he was looking forward to the results of U.S. Attorney John Durham's ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, calling the Connecticut prosecutor "highly respected" and praising Attorney General William Barr.

Answer: BREITBART: DOJ: Democrats Paid Pennsylvania Election Officials to Stuff Ballot Box by JOHN BINDER21 May 2020 https://archive.fo/VqyTf A former Judge of Elections in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has been charged and pleaded guilty to illegally adding votes for Democrat candidates in judicial races in 2014, 2015, and 2016. On Thursday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges against former Judge of Elections Domenick DeMuro, 73, for stuffing the ballot box for Democrats in exchange for payment by a paid political consultant. The charges, and guilty plea, include conspiracy to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific Democrat candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections and a violation of the Travel Act. â€œThe Trump administrationâ€™s prosecution of election fraud stands in stark contrast to the total failure of the Obama Justice Department to enforce these laws,â€ Public Interest Legal Foundation President Christian Adams said in a statement. â€œRight now, other federal prosecutors are aware of cases of double voting in federal elections as well as noncitizen voting. Attorney General William Barr should prompt those other offices to do their duty and prosecute known election crimes.â€

Extra Answer: SCREENSHOT: https://postimg.cc/t1Swd0Zq MORE FROM ARTICLE: According to the indictment, the political consultant allegedly solicited payments from Democrat candidates who hired him, classifying them as â€œconsulting fees.â€ The payments â€” which ranged from $300 to $5,000 â€” were then allegedly used to pay Election Board Officials, such as DeMuro, in exchange for those officials illegally adding votes for the consultantsâ€™ Democrat candidates. DeMuro admitted that he illegally added votes for Democrats on Election Day and then certified later that the votes counted were accurate. â€œDeMuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear,â€ U.S. Attorney William McSwain said in a statement. â€œThis is utterly reprehensible conduct. The charges announced today do not erase what he did, but they do ensure that he is held to account for those actions.â€ The criminal complaint has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The case number is 2:20-cr-00112-PD.

AP Exclusive: Justice Dept dropping Flynn's criminal case WASHINGTON (AP) â€” The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution... apnews.com 11:29 AM - 7 May 2020 AP EXCLUSIVE: Justice Dept dropping Flynn's criminal case By MICHAEL BALSAMO and ERIC TUCKER https://apnews.com/ae1ad252bb13490db2ceffc5d17b6d92 https://archive.fo/mQWhc WASHINGTON (AP) â€” The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trumpâ€™s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution that became a rallying cry for Trump and his supporters in attacking the FBIâ€™s Russia investigation. The move is a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the last three years had maintained that Flynn had lied to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in a January 2017 interview. Flynn himself admitted as much, and became a key cooperator for Mueller as he investigated ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. In court documents being filed Thursday, the Justice Department said it is dropping the case â€œafter a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.â€ The documents were obtained by The Associated Press. The Justice Department said it had concluded that Flynnâ€™s interview by the FBI was â€œuntethered to, and unjustified by, the FBIâ€™s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynnâ€ and that the interview on January 24, 2017 was â€œconducted without any legitimate investigative basis.â€ The U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, Jeff Jensen, recommended the move to Attorney General William Barr last week and formalized the recommendation in a document this week. â€œThrough the course of my review of General Flynnâ€™s case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case,â€ Jensen said in a statement. â€œI briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed.â€

Question: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/durham-scrutinizing-john-brennans-handling-of-russian-interference-in-2016 Read carefully. Sound familiar? Sometimes a leak turns into a flood.

Answer: WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Durham scrutinizing John Brennanâ€™s handling of Russian interference in 2016 by Jerry Dunleavy | February 14, 2020 09:02 AM https://archive.fo/heDFU U.S. Attorney John Durham is reportedly reviewing John Brennanâ€™s analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of the former Obama CIA directorâ€™s handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin. Durham, who was selected by Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to look into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the governmentâ€™s response to Moscowâ€™s meddling, is investigating whether Brennanâ€™s CIA was attempting to keep other agencies in the dark as he pushed for a specific preconceived analytic assessment about Russiaâ€™s true intentions in 2016, the New York Times reported Thursday. The top Connecticut prosecutorâ€™s team reviewed emails from the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency analysts who came together to assess Russiaâ€™s interference, the new report revealed, and Durhamâ€™s investigators pressed for answers about why some agencies at least temporarily denied other agencies access to secretive intelligence about the Kremlinâ€™s active measures campaign. Durham interviewed agents and analysts from all three agencies, and the report said he was scrutinizing whether the clash over intelligence sharing was the typical sort of bureaucratic turf battle over jealously guarded secrets or an effort to cover something up. Much of this revolves around how the United States government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian meddling and whether Brennan was pushing for a biased result. One major battle was about the identity and credibility of a CIA source allegedly close to the Kremlin. The NSA wanted more details about him, which the CIA resisted before providing them. The NSA then disagreed with the CIA and FBI about how much confidence to place in the source. At least some intelligence officials were disturbed by a law enforcement officer such as Durham inquiring into the assessments made by intelligence agencies, though Durham played a similar role in his Obama-era investigation into the CIA's destruction of tapes showing the harsh interrogation of detainees. Durham hasnâ€™t yet interviewed Brennan, though the report said his emails and other records have been requested from the CIA by the U.S. attorney. Retired Adm. Mike Rogers, who was head of the NSA at the time, was interviewed by Durham last summer and fall.

Open Answer: MORE ON BRENNAN: Brennan took a trip to Moscow in March 2016. Originally reported by Interfax, then picked up by the newswires forcing the CIA to officially comment. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2016/03/28/cia-director-brennan-made-secret-trip-to-moscow-a52284 John Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), made a secret visit to Moscow in March, according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov. The visit, he said, had nothing to do with Russia's decision two weeks ago to begin withdrawing from Syria. â€œItâ€™s no secret that Brennan was here,â€ Syromolotov was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying Monday. â€œBut he didn't visit the Foreign Ministry. I know for sure that he met with the Federal Security Service (the successor agency to the Soviet KGB), and someone else.â€ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-usa-cia/cia-boss-brennan-visited-moscow-in-early-march-interfax-idUSKCN0WU0S5 https://sputniknews.com/politics/201603281037100681-brennan-moscow-visit/ US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan travelled to Moscow in early March to reiterate the US support for a power transition in Syria as well as urge commitment to maintain the cessation of hostilities in the country, CIA spokesman Dean Boyd told Sputnik on Monday. https://libertyunyielding.com/2018/04/22/astonishing-date-former-cia-director-john-brennan-visited-fsb-russia/ Much as we would ordinarily choose to take Boydâ€™s word for this, his statement doesnâ€™t necessarily add up. For one thing, the FSB is not a service the U.S. would talk to about a geopolitical transition in Syria. Brennan might talk to the FSB about other things, but the story here doesnâ€™t really track. Russian state policy on the succession in Syria is outside the FSBâ€™s lane. For another thing, the chief of the FSB is not Brennanâ€™s counterpart in Russia on such matters.
