Did somebody say Boston Marathon bombing?
This golden oldie article detailed how Andrew McCabe was tied to Russian mobsters (the REAL Russia collusion), and how McCabe was interfering in FBI investigations that did not involve him:
"… McCabe had been meddling with a number of cases with Russian links, suspects and witnesses. Similar complaints reached Sen. Chuck Grassley as early as June 2015, FBI sources confirm.
"When Special Agents worked the Boston Marathon bombing, they kept tripping over McCabe who was the Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) of the task force investigating the terror incident.
"When agents accessed computer databases searching for suspects, McCabe had already been there. When they looked at banking records and financials of suspects, McCabe had already been there."

Also, keep in mind that Tsarnev had gone through "training" in Russia at the Jamestown Foundation, which is run by Dick Cheney and other questionable characters.

Q Research General #8291: NO SLEEP IN DC Edition
GOP investigators say classified docs will expose misuse of Steele dossier
Top Republicans talked up classified documents on Sunday they believe will root out FBI misconduct in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation. Over the past few days, GOP lawmakers demanded answers about when the FBI was informed about British ex-spy Christopher Steele's "political motivations" before his unverified dossier was used to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to wiretap Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, sent letters to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to request documents related to a meeting between Steele an Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016 - 10 days before the first warrant application was submitted - and admitted he was encouraged by a client to get his research out before the 2016 election on Nov. 8, signaling a possible political motivation. The meeting was described in notes taken by Kavalec that were obtained by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation. "In her notes, she indicates that Steele was urging to get the dossier out before the election," Graham, R-S.C., said on "Fox News Sunday." "And she also, in handwritten notes, indicates that it was paid for by the Democratic Party, the Clinton campaign, the dossier. The most important thing is, she transferred that information to the FBI. So the FBI is now on notice on October the 11th that their confidential informant is trying to get the dossier out for political purposes and that the State Department figured out the Democrats paid for it. How could they then go get a warrant based on that same document and not tell the court what the State Department told them?"
Graham, whose committee is investigating alleged FISA abuse, said there is one particular classified document he hopes will provide answers. "There's a document that's classified that I'm going to try to get unclassified that takes the dossier - all the pages of it - and it has verification to one side," Graham said. "There really is no verification, other than media reports that were generated by reporters that received the dossier. So, the bottom line is the dossier has never been independently confirmed. It was used to get a warrant. They knew the author of the dossier was on the Democrat Party payroll. He hated Trump; they got the warrant anyway. Most Americans should be very upset about that. I'm very upset about it. And we're going to get to the bottom of it."
Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., also sent letters to Pompeo and FBI Director Christopher Wray seeking information about Steele's meeting with Kavalec and the FBI's behavior once the bureau was informed by the State Department about Steele. The dossier, compiled by Steele, contains unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia. The FBI used it to obtain a FISA warrant and three renewals to wiretap Page. Republican investigators allege the FBI misled the FISA Court by not revealing Steele's Democratic benefactors or his anti-Trump bias in the warrant application process.

Q Research General #8225: Focused On Winning Edition
Two top Republican senators are signaling that the intelligence community's top watchdog should probe potential "leaks" to reporters after the 2016 presidential election about the investigation into Russia's election meddling and President Trump's campaign.
Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) - the chairmen of the Senate Homeland Security and Finance committees, respectively - sent a letter on Monday to Michael Atkinson, the inspector general for the intelligence community, asking if his office was investigating "apparent leaks" from the intelligence agencies.
"Texts and emails demonstrate the need to investigate leaks from agencies or entities other than FBI," the two senators wrote in their letter.
If an investigation isn't ongoing, the two senators want an explanation from Atkinson on why the watchdog office hasn't opened a probe.
A spokesperson for the intelligence community's inspector general office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
The letter comes as Grassley, Johnson and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are laying the groundwork for their own probe into the 2016 election, including the FBI's handling of the probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant application on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
The two senators previously requested a briefing from Attorney General William Barr on his effort to investigate alleged "spying" during the 2016 election after Barr told lawmakers that he was looking into the issue.
Grassley and Johnson, in their Monday letter, point to a set of text messages between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that they argue points to evidence that other intelligence agencies were leaking to the media during the 2016 election.
In one text message from December 2016 included in the Grassley-Johnson letter, Strzok is quoted as texting that he thought "our sisters have begun leaking like mad." The letter doesn't clarify who "sisters" refers to, and Grassley and Johnson also appear to be in the dark about who it is.
In another email, Strzok in April 2017 posits that an "agency" got more information than he previously realized and adds "might explain all these weird/seemingly incorrect leads all these media folks have. Would also highlight agency as source of some of the leaks."
The GOP senators also appear not to know who the "agency" in question is, asking in their letter to the intelligence community watchdog who Strzok is referring to and why he thinks it implies an agency is leaking. But the two senators say in their letter that Strzok's email is in response to a Guardian article about British intelligence agencies alerting their U.S. counterparts about contact between members of Trump's campaign and Moscow.

Q Research General #8224: Patriots In Control Edition
Peter Strzok Suspected CIA Was Behind Inaccurate Media Leaks
Peter Strzok suspected CIA employees were behind inaccurate leaks to the press regarding possible Trump campaign contacts with Russia, according to an email the former FBI counterintelligence official sent to colleagues in April 2017.
"I'm beginning to think the agency got info a lot earlier than we thought and hasn't shared it completely with us. Might explain all these weird/seemingly incorrect leads all these media folks have. Would also highlight agency as source of some of the leaks," Strzok wrote in an email to FBI colleagues on April 13, 2017.
The email is highlighted in a letter that two Republican senators sent Monday to Michael K. Atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community.
In the letter, Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin asked Atkinson if he has investigated whether the CIA or other intelligence community agencies leaked information to the press.
They pointed to a Dec. 15, 2016 text message that Strzok, the lead investigator on the Trump-Russia probe, sent to then-FBI attorney Lisa Page.
"Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried and political, they're kicking in to overdrive," Strzok wrote Page.
Strzok did not identify a specific leak, but a day earlier, NBC News broke a bombshell story that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved in the U.S. election hacks. The story was sourced to "senior U.S. intelligence officials.

Funny thing:
After @jack met with Chuck Grassley last year, twatter ramped up its shadowbanning of conservatives.
After @jack met with POTUS last month, twatter ramped up its shutdown of conservatives.
It's almost like @jack thinks he will outlast whatever actions Trump tries for seeking fair treatment on these monopoly platforms, or else that something will happen to counter whatever Trump tries, or else that Trump won't do anything at all.

Q Research General #8170: Act I Is Over Edition
Barr to Brief Senators on FBI Spying on Trump in Counterintelligence Briefings
Attorney General William Barr committed on May 1 to brief congressional lawmakers on the possibility that senior FBI officials used counterintelligence briefings with President Donald Trump's transition team to gather intelligence on the incoming administration. Barr made the commitment during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the Justice Department's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) wrote a letter to Barr on April 25 requesting a briefing about Barr's ongoing review of spying on Trump's campaign. In that letter, Grassley cited text messages between former senior FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok that, according to him, appear to suggest that the bureau used counterintelligence briefings with Trump's transition team "as intelligence gathering operations." At the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on May 1, Grassley asked Barr if he would commit to brief lawmakers on the matter and issue a written response. "Yes, Senator," Barr said.
Grassley's letter cites text messages between Strzok and Page, in which they discuss using a "CI guy" at a November 2016 briefing with members of Trump's transition to see "if thete [sic] are any news [sic] Qs, or different demeanor." In the same message, Strzok suggests using someone identified as "Katie's husband" to "see if there are people we can develop for potential relationships." "Were these efforts done to gain better communication between the respective parties, or were the briefings used as intelligence gathering operations?" Grassley wrote. "Further, did any such surveillance activities continue beyond the inauguration, and in the event they did, were those activities subject to proper predication?"
Barr's comments at the May 1 hearing were the first since the Justice Department released the final report on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mueller concluded there isn't enough evidence to establish that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia and the special counsel didn't reach a decision on whether Trump obstructed justice. Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein ruled there was insufficient evidence to bring an obstruction charge. Mueller took over the investigation of the Trump campaign from Strzok and Page. In addition to discussing what appears like an intelligence gathering operation, the pair also spoke about stopping Trump from becoming president, an "insurance policy" in case he won the election, and "impeachment" after Trump became the president-elect.
At the hearing on May 1, Barr also revealed that the FBI failed to warn then-candidate Trump about Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) asked Barr if he was aware of any defensive briefings given to the Trump campaign to warn about Russia's attempts to interfere in the election. Cornyn referenced a statement by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch noting that such defensive briefings are routine in counterintelligence investigations. Barr said he wasn't aware of the FBI ever providing Trump with a defensive briefing. "That failure to provide a defensive briefing to the Trump campaign, that would be an extraordinary or notable failure. Would you agree?" Cornyn asked. "I think, under these circumstances, one of the things I can't fathom is why it didn't happen. Why if you're concerned about interference in the election and you have substantial people involved in the campaign ... I don't understand why the bureau would not have gone and given a defensive briefing," Barr said.
The absence of the briefing is particularly troubling, considering that Strzok was the lead agent running the counterintelligence probe. In addition to talking about stopping Trump from becoming president, Strzok displayed a strong personal bias against Trump.

Q Research General #8156: Combine All Posts And Analyze Edition
During the first two years of his presidency, two Supreme Court justices and 83 lower-court judges secured confirmation, in the 115th Congress. In the second half of his term to date, the 116th Congress, he's seen 12 judges confirmed, bringing his total number of Article III judicial appointees to 97. With the Senate now back from its Easter recess and with 43 nominees out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and awaiting floor votes, President Trump should hit - and, in fact, blow past - the 100-judge marker very soon.
President Trump will go down in history as an extremely effective and consequential president on judicial nominations, even if his administration ends tomorrow (as many of his detractors fervently hope). But he shouldn't get all the credit for confirmations; so much of it belongs to his former White House Counsel, Don McGahn, and the Senate Republicans, ably led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky).
They're not the only ones who deserve kudos. Congratulations - and thanks, if you're a supporter of the Trump appointments - should also go to Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The SJC plays a key gatekeeper role when it comes to judicial nominations, and then-Chairman Grassley worked tirelessly to keep that gate open for Trump's judicial picks in the last Congress, even in the face of strong Democratic opposition.
Gratitude also goes to the wind beneath the senators' wings: the staffers who work tirelessly, for much less pay than they could earn in the private sector, to make sure the senators can do their jobs effectively. (Senator Amy Klobuchar, we're looking at you.)
A critical staffer on judicial nominations, Mike Davis, former Chief Nominations Counsel to then-Chairman Grassley, spoke earlier this month before the Columbia Federalist Society. I refer to Davis as "critical," but that might be an understatement. He played a crucial role in the Trump judicial revolution, which is why the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) recently honored him with the 2019 Betty Murphy Award.

Q Research General #8125: Dark before the Light Edition
GOP stepping up investigations… And here comes AG Barr!
Sorry if duplicated, but I didn't see this in the bread.
ARTICLE BEGINS HERE:
GOP lawmakers returning to Washington are signaling they intend to step up their campaign to look into alleged spying by FBI agents on President Trump's 2016 campaign. The effort comes as Democrats ramp up their own investigations into the Trump administration and could serve as a bit of GOP counter-programming to put the spotlight on what Republicans contend is suspicious behavior under the Obama administration. Two Senate chairmen previewed the coming GOP efforts with a recent letter to Attorney General William Barr, who raised eyebrows when he publicly asserted he believed the Trump campaign was spied on and said he would review the intelligence community's actions to ensure no improper surveillance occurred.
Democrats were surprised and angered Barr used the word "spying" to describe surveillance that FBI did during their investigation of Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election, accusing him of promoting a GOP talking point. In a letter sent to the attorney general on Thursday, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) asked the Justice Department for a briefing on Barr's review and cited text messages between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and attorney Lisa Page that they described as exhibiting "potential attempts by the FBI to conduct surveillance of President-elect Trump's transition team."
"Any improper FBI surveillance activities that were conducted before or after the 2016 election must be brought to light and properly addressed," wrote Grassley and Johnson, who chair the Finance and Homeland Security Committees, respectively. They also raised concerns about potentially unauthorized Justice Department leaks to the press about the Russia investigation. Lawmakers on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees will have an opportunity to grill Barr in back-to-back open hearings this week, as he testifies on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and final report, a redacted version of which Barr released roughly a week ago. Barr is expected to face considerable scrutiny from Democrats who accuse him of bias in his handling of Mueller's report, which did not establish conspiracy between members of the Trump campaign and Russia but explicitly did not exonerate the president on allegations of obstruction. The attorney general is also likely to be questioned by Republicans about his plans to review the decisions in the FBI's original Russia counterintelligence probe.
"I have loads of questions for Barr about origination of the spying and DOJ leaders' role in the spying," Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told The Hill Friday, adding that he has "lots of questions" following the release of Mueller's report.
Republicans have long suggested FBI agents were politically motivated in opening the investigation into the Trump campaign, citing text messages exchanged by officials that worked on the Russia and Clinton email investigations in which they criticized Trump's candidacy. House Republicans led an investigation into the FBI's handling of the Russia and Clinton probes that was quietly shuttered last year, shortly before Democrats took control of the lower chamber. GOP lawmakers have also alleged the FBI abused its surveillance authorities by relying on information from the author of the controversial Trump-Russia dossier, which was in part funded by Democrats, to justify a surveillance renewal application to wiretap former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Democrats have roundly rejected Republicans' claims, accusing them of trying to undermine Mueller's investigation, which concluded in March after 22 months. The Justice Department's inspector general is currently investigating the FBI's compliance with the law and procedures with respect to the Page warrant application, a review Barr expects to be completed as soon as next month. Barr said in congressional testimony earlier in April that he plans to initiate his own review of the "genesis and the conduct" of intelligence collection directed at members of the Trump campaign based on what Inspector General Michael Horowitz finds; Barr said it was important to determine whether the surveillance was "adequately predicated."

Future Proves Past
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley obtained a copy of former National Security Adviser Susan Rice's email memorializing a January 2017 meeting on June 16, 2017.
It's unclear why the lawmakers waited almost eight months to address the email, which they suggested was proof of former President Barack Obama's influence over the FBI's Russia investigation.

Quote
Attorney General William Barr stressed Thursday during his press conference that although Special counsel Robert Mueller detailed 10 "episodes" involving actions by President Trump that might have constituted obstruction of justice, neither the DOJ, nor Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein believed those actions violated the law.
unQuote
What are the 10 episodes and the sequence? What is the first episode?
Also, Quote
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-CA, was one of the first to reveal those threads and never wavered even when the Washington 'swamp monsters' targeted him and his credibility. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-NC, worked tirelessly with their committees to get to the truth. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, have done the same and all promise to continue to the battle for the truth. Why? Because frankly this political war is not over.
unQuote
And, Quote:
Just remember, it was Hillary Clinton and the DNC that paid for former British Spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier through their attorney's Perkins Coie. It was the embattled research firm Fusion GPS, with its founder Glenn Simpson, that helped spread the dossier and its unsubstantiated and false findings all over Washington D.C. They did so with help from senior officials at the FBI and DOJ. When Simpson and his crew couldn't get it published they used their contacts at the FBI to leak to information to the media with them. They also had their anti-Trump friends in high positions of power within the Obama Administration like then CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey and his then Deputy Director fo the FBI Andrew McCabe to brief the most salacious parts of the dossier to Trump in January, 2017.
unQuote
How many of those 10 episodes are pointed at by Sara C in that single article summing-up the origins of the "soft coup"?
Allspeed Anons.

Q Research General #8102: FREE FLYNN Edition
Strzok-Page texts suggested using post-election briefing to gather information on Trump team
Published April 25, 2019
Fox News
Text messages between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page indicate they discussed using briefings to the Trump team after the 2016 election to identify people they could "develop for potential relationships," track lines of questioning and "assess" changes in "demeanor" - language one GOP lawmaker called "more evidence" of irregular conduct in the original Russia probe.
Fox News has learned the texts, initially released in 2018 by a Senate committee, are under renewed scrutiny, with GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley and Homeland Security Committee chair Ron Johnson sending a letter Thursday night to Attorney General Bill Barr pushing for more information on the matter.
"Any improper FBI surveillance activities that were conducted before or after the 2016 election must be brought to light and properly addressed," the senators wrote.
President Trump, speaking to Fox News' "Hannity" Thursday night, responded to this report by unloading on Strzok and Page.
"They were trying to infiltrate the administration," Trump told Sean Hannity. "Really, it's a coup. It's spying. It's hard to believe in this country we would have had that." Trump called the news "very disconcerting," and emphasized that the Justice Department's watchdog previously faulted Strzok's communications with Page.
The text messages begin on the evening of Nov. 17 – nine days after the election. The string discusses an email and briefing to "Pence," presumably Vice President-elect Mike Pence - and appears to refer to another upcoming briefing.
The messages showed Strzok and Page debating staffing for the upcoming briefing and whether it would make sense to stay with the same agent or send a different one. It is unclear from the texts whether these were part of the formal transition-period briefings between outgoing or incoming administrations or routine intelligence briefings.

Senators Johnson and Grassley Rush Head-First into The Obama/Rice Justification Trap...
Posted on April 25, 2019 by sundance
CTH suspected this was sketchy when notorious Swamp Defender Chris Wallace was used as the point person to push it. FUBAR suspicions confirmed when looking at the construct.
Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson send a letter to AG William Barr questioning post election text messages by Lisa Page and Peter Strzok that outline questions about the FBI counterintelligence operation against the Trump transition team. First the letter:
View this document on Scribd
.
If you've followed the DC pattern, you can pick up the purpose of sending a letter that walks directly, and purposefully, into the President Obama and Susan Rice justification trap, CTH warned about a few months ago.
Asking questions about the motives of Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and the FBI counterintelligence unit in the post election period is ridiculous; all it does is open the door for justification. The FBI has admitted on-the-record the operation picked up by Special Counsel Robert Mueller was an extension of an ongoing FBI investigation.

"Again, Johnson and Grassley are not stupid. They already know this will be the reply from the corrupt officials; and they know this will be the forced response from AG Barr. So why would Grassley and Johnson open the door for this defensive position to be advanced?
What could possibly be their ulterior motive for pre-positioning a defense of the institutions of the deepest and most corrupt part of the DC swamp? Well....
Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is owned by Tom Donohue and the U.S. CoC and is 100% opposed to President Trump on any trade reset that confronts the multinational interests of the CoC position. Similarly, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is owned by Big AG.
What do they both have in common?.... Opposition to any America-First trade reset.
There are trillions at stake."

Chairmen Press DOJ to Probe FBI 'Spying' & Leaks Before & After 2016 Election
Apr 25, 2019
Texts suggest FBI briefings with Trump transition doubled as covert intelligence gathering effort
WASHINGTON - Two Senate chairmen are requesting a briefing from the Justice Department on its review of spying on the Trump presidential campaign. The lawmakers are also raising questions about potential efforts by senior FBI officials to use briefings with the Trump transition team as intelligence gathering operations. In a letter today to Attorney General William Barr, Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson also discuss a number of unauthorized leaks of highly sensitive information regarding intelligence efforts related to President Trump's election and administration.
"We share your concerns about these activities, and are troubled by the apparent unauthorized disclosures of surveillance efforts and other classified information during the same time period," the senators wrote in the letter to Barr.
The letter highlights a series of texts between former FBI special agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page in which they discuss using FBI briefings with the Trump transition team to develop relationships and gather information, including using a "CI guy" to assess "demeanor" of individuals during the briefing.
"Were these efforts done to gain better communication between the respective parties, or were the briefings used as intelligence gathering operations?" the senators ask in the letter. "Any improper FBI surveillance activities that were conducted before or after the 2016 election must be brought to light and properly addressed."
Strzok was initially a part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating potential collusion between the Russian government and the Trump campaign and any efforts by President Trump to obstruct justice, but was removed following revelations of politically-laced, anti-Trump text messages.
The senators also raised concerns about several leaks of sensitive information in the course of the FBI's Russia investigation prior to Mueller's appointment. The leaks include reports of secret surveillance warrants against campaign advisor Carter Page, the use of FBI informants against the campaign and briefings between U.S. and U.K. intelligence officials.
"Leaks to the media about ongoing investigations undermine the ability of investigators to properly investigate. Moreover, sensitive leaks to the media while members of Congress are kept in the dark is unacceptable," the senators said, noting recent DOJ Inspector General findings about a culture of leaks at the FBI.

Q Research General #8045: Barr Meeting Huber & OIG Edition
>>6291373
Jessie Liu
On June 12, 2017, Trump announced his first wave of U.S. attorney candidates. Among them were John Huber and Jessie Liu. Huber was renominated for his U.S. attorney post in Utah while Liu, who was serving as the deputy general counsel for the Department of the Treasury, was nominated as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, replacing Obama's intended AG successor, Channing Phillips. Liu had met directly with Trump prior to her nomination for the position of U.S. attorney.
Liu, who was confirmed on Sept. 25, 2017, had an extensive background within the DOJ, having served as the deputy chief of staff for the NSD, as counsel to the deputy attorney general, and as deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division.
On March 5, 2019, Trump nominated Liu for the third-highest post at the DOJ-associate attorney general. Liu had been specifically recommended for the post by current Attorney General William Barr, who said of Liu, "With her record of public service, particularly in civil justice and federal law enforcement matters, it is clear that she will be an outstanding addition to our leadership team at the Department."
Liu's nomination fell through on March 28 due to her prior role as the vice-president of the National Association of Women Lawyers-a group that supported abortion rights. Barr expressed his displeasure at the withdrawal of Liu's nomination, stating, "She has been an outstanding United States attorney and would have made an outstanding associate attorney general. I have zero doubt she would have faithfully executed my priorities and advanced my rule-of-law agenda."
Barr later announced that he was appointing Liu to lead the attorney general's advisory committee, which provides counsel to the attorney general on policy, procedure, and management matters. Barr said Liu "will be an integral part of our leadership at the Department."
One of the cases Liu inherited as the U.S. Attorney for D.C. from Channing Phillips was the prosecution of Imran Awan, a former IT employee for House Democrats. Awan had pleaded guilty on July 3, 2018, to a federal charge stemming from a false statement made on a home equity loan.
A grand jury had been sworn in on Nov. 13, 2016, and formal charges were filed on on Aug. 17, 2017-prior to Liu's Sept. 25, 2017, confirmation as U.S. attorney.
Phillips's office had brought no charges against Awan related to allegations of hacking House IT systems. In September 2016, the House Office of Inspector General had warned House leadership and the Committee on House Administration that Awan and other family members had made unauthorized logins on the systems of House members.
John Huber
Huber was appointed by AG Sessions on or before Nov. 13, 2017, to lead a prosecution team and is currently working with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on his various investigations.
"I already have directed senior federal prosecutors to evaluate certain issues previously raised by the Committee. ... Specifically, I asked United States Attorney John W. Huber to lead this effort," Sessions said on March 29, 2018, when responding to congressional requests for the possible appointment of a second special counsel.
Horowitz is currently conducting several investigations, including into FISA abuse and media leaks by the FBI.
On March 7, 2019, Barr had a meeting with Huber, who serves as vice chair of the Attorney General's Advisory Committee-the same committee that Barr had recently appointed Liu to lead.
On Sept. 2, 2017, Trump nominated John Demers to be the head of the NSD, but his confirmation process was lengthy and Demers was not able to assume his role until Feb. 15, 2018. Demers, who had prior experience with the NSD, clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
On Oct, 27, 2017, Boente announced that he would be resigning from his post at the EDVA-and at the NSD-but also noted that he would remain in those positions until Trump nominated and confirmed his replacements. Boente officially gave up his U.S. attorney role on Jan. 28, 2018, when he was finally replaced by Tracy Doherty-McCormick.
Zachary Terwilliger was the individual who ultimately replaced Boente as the U.S. attorney for the EDVA. Prior to his appointment to the EDVA, Terwilliger served as an associate deputy attorney general, and was chief of staff to Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein. Terwilliger previously worked as an assistant U.S. attorney at the EDVA during Boente's time as U.S. Attorney and also worked on criminal legislation under Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) for the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Q Research General #8043: Bakin on the Fly Edition
"Journalists that couldn't prove those allegations were true, like me, simply said over the past two years "there is no evidence that Trump colluded or conspired with Russia." I've said this as far back as 2017.
It is the same end result discovered by Mueller after more than $30 million dollars, witness interviews, subpoenas and hundreds of warrants.
Days and weeks with little sleep were spent chasing rabbits down a proverbial hole of allegations that amounted to nothing. It was literally exhausting.
Instead, what evolved from my investigations, as well as my colleague John Solomon, was growing body of evidence of malfeasance within the intelligence community, FBI and DOJ. The insurmountable evidence unraveled like a loose ball of yarn as we started pulling threads and avalanched with the launch of Congressional investigations.
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-CA, was one of the first to reveal those threads and never wavered even when the Washington 'swamp monsters' targeted him and his credibility. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-NC, worked tirelessly with their committees to get to the truth. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, have done the same and all promise to continue to the battle for the truth. Why? Because frankly this political war is not over.
Just remember, it was Hillary Clinton and the DNC that paid for former British Spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier through their attorney's Perkins Coie. It was the embattled research firm Fusion GPS, with its founder Glenn Simpson, that helped spread the dossier and its unsubstantiated and false findings all over Washington D.C. They did so with help from senior officials at the FBI and DOJ. When Simpson and his crew couldn't get it published they used their contacts at the FBI to leak to information to the media with them. They also had their anti-Trump friends in high positions of power within the Obama Administration like then CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey and his then Deputy Director fo the FBI Andrew McCabe to brief the most salacious parts of the dossier to Trump in January, 2017.
It was the best way to get the disinformation out regarding the dossier to the world. All of the sudden, Trump was being cornered and isolated. More importantly, early on they targeted Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. They knew they had to remove Flynn - remove him from Trump's side. After all, "he knows where all the bodies are buried and he was sick and tired of the Obama administration's lies to the American people," said one former intelligence source who worked closely with Flynn.
Mueller's report will keep the left busy the next few days. It lists, as Barr noted, ten possible circumstances that could appear to be obstruction but were not considered obstruction by the DOJ. Barr said Trump never broke any laws.
Think about it. Trump was being accused of being a spy for Russia. It was a daily compounded disinformation campaign by senior members of a former administration leaking lies, half-truths and malicious rumors about Trump. Those who aided the lies were MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, McClatchy News, The Washington Post, and many more, who all had stories that the U.S. president was compromised by Russia and worked with the Russians against the American people."

Betsy DeVos' Brother Funded Effort to Find 'Missing' Clinton Emails, According to Mueller Report
Despite not being a member of the Trump Administration, Blackwater founder, Erik Prince, was frequently referenced in the Mueller Report. While there was knowledge of his meeting with Russian, Kirill Dmitriev, there were other discoveries as well.
In July of 2016, Donald Trump famously asked Russia to hack into Hillary Clinton's emails. According to the Mueller Report, Prince, who is the brother of Trump's Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, also took the candidate up on his invitation.
Mueller and his team found that Prince funded a group whose mission was to hunt for Clinton's 30,000 "missing" emails. The team was headed by former National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, and also included Peter Smith and Barbara Leeden. Smith is a Republican activist and Leeden was a former aide to Chuck Grassley.
According to the Report, Leeden thought the hunt was successful, "Ledeen claimed to have obtained a trove of emails (from what she described as the 'dark web') that purported to be the deleted Clinton emails. Ledeen wanted to authenticate the emails and solicited contributions to fund that effort. Erik Prince provided funding to hire a tech advisor to ascertain the authenticity of the emails."
The emails, however, did not prove to be authentic. Prince has a history of alleged lies and half truths. In March of this year, an interview with Prince and The Intercept's Mehdi Hasan went viral for both Hasan's strong questioning and Prince's unbelievable answers.
There were, apparently, other discrepancies in meetings that Prince took before and after the election. There is also potential evidence that Prince lied about these meetings in talks with Congress. More information about the Blackwater founder is likely to be revealed in the coming months.

Grassley, Graham Put Bill Barr on Notice - DOJ Can No Longer Use Mueller Probe as Excuse to Dodge Questions on Hillary's Email Investigation
Top Senate Republicans are renewing their efforts to get to the bottom of the FBI's [mis]handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server now that Mueller's investigation has concluded.
In a letter sent to Attorney General Bill Barr Tuesday, Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) wrote that the Justice Department can no longer use Mueller's investigation as an excuse to dodge oversight.
"Now that the Special Counsel's investigation has concluded, we are unaware of any legitimate basis upon which the Department can refuse to answer the Judiciary Committee's inquiries," the GOP Senators wrote to Barr.
The GOP Senators previously requested information on a classified appendix to Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report that was released in June of 2018 titled, "A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election."
"The classified appendix raises significant issues associated with the FBI's failure to review certain highly classified information in support of its Midyear investigation," the Senators wrote, referring to the code name the FBI gave to Hillary's email investigation. "In particular, the Inspector General noted that it learned that the FBI acquired classified material that 'may have included information potentially relevant to the Midyear investigation.' The FBI even drafted a memorandum in May of 2016 stating that access to the information was 'necessary to complete the investigation.' However, that memorandum was never completed."

Q Research General #7939: The Graveyard Edition
Remember former FBI Assistant Director Andy McCabe? Since his dismissal from the FBI, everyone assumed that he was under criminal investigation for lying and leaking.
It turns out that a powerful official within the Justice Department named Ms. Jessie K. Liu, has been "burying" criminal referrals, letting suspects off with a slap on the wrist, or totally dismissing charges, as Chicago DOJ (Kim Foxx) did for Jussie Smollett.
Some examples of Jessie Liu's handi-work:
The manipulated DC legal case surrounding the Awan brothers; and how they escaped full accountability, likely due to need to protect politicians. (House of Representatives) The sweetheart plea deal.
The manipulated DC legal case surrounding SSCI Security Director James Wolfe; and how he was allowed to plea only to lying to investigators when the evidence was clear from the outset how he leaked classified information to his journalist concubine. Again, likely due to the need to protect politicians. (SSCI, Senate) The sweetheart plea deal.
The manipulated DC legal case surrounding Obama lawyer Greg Craig; and how he escaped accountability for FARA violations by running out the statute of limitations and burying Mueller's evidence for 18 months. Again, likely due to the need to protect politicians (Obama White House). Sweetheart double standards.
The manipulated DC legal case, a non-filing, surrounding former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for lying to INSD investigators about his media leaks. Again, likely due to the need to protect the administrative state.
Detailed explanation at: theconservativetreehouse.com…
One of the first things new Attorney General William Barr did, after getting wind of Ms. Liu's actions, was to MOVE HER to a less influential job at the DOJ. (He was LIVID!)
BUT…it's not just Jessie K. Liu who ignored criminal referrals from Congress. Recent Special Counsel BOB MUELLER and Assistant AG ROD ROSENSTEIN ignored a criminal referral of Trump Dossier author, CHRISTOPHER STEELE.
The DOJ (Mueller) investigation of Christopher Steele was dropped.
Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley sent a criminal referral of Chris Steele to Rosenstein/Mueller in January 2018; however the case was used as a shield to ward-off FOIA inquiry, but the case was never actually pursued - and eventually dropped.
Additionally, with hindsight and a greater understanding of the Mueller team corruption, we can see how this specific referral hits the center of the FBI intent around their Russia collusion-conspiracy.
The issue surrounds the October 2016 Carter Page FISA application, and how the Steele Dossier was used therein.
Full Article at: theconservativetreehouse.com…-162559
If Bob Mueller were to investigate Christopher Steele, it would be learned that the Dossier was FAKE, the FISA court was lied to, and several top people in the DOJ (including Rosenstein himself) were corrupt lawbreakers.
After reading the above two articles, I now understand why we've never heard anything on the status of criminal referrals Congress has sent to the Department of Justice on McCabe, Comey, Hillary, Strzok, Lynch, and a few others. THEY WERE IGNORED.
This also explains why the 8 people Congressman Devin Nunes are referring for Criminal Investigation, will be hand-delivered by Nunes himself to Attorney General William Barr, this week. Jessie Liu and Bob Mueller are out of the way. But Rod Rosenstein is still the Assistant Attorney General, and able to intercept and/or sabotage the Nunes referrals.

Grassley, Graham Put Bill Barr on Notice - DOJ Can No Longer Use Mueller Probe as Excuse to Dodge Questions on Hillary's Email Investigation
Top Senate Republicans are renewing their efforts to get to the bottom of the FBI's [mis]handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server now that Mueller's investigation has concluded.
Mueller's investigation into whether Trump colluded with the Kremlin during the 2016 election also served as a way to block Congressional oversight into Obama's and Clinton's corruption.
Now that Rosenstein and Mueller can no longer run defense at the Justice Department, Republican Senate chairs of three very powerful committees are demanding Bill Barr look into the FBI's sham 'Midyear investigation.'
In a letter sent to Attorney General Bill Barr Tuesday, Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) wrote that the Justice Department can no longer use Mueller's investigation as an excuse to dodge oversight.
"Now that the Special Counsel's investigation has concluded, we are unaware of any legitimate basis upon which the Department can refuse to answer the Judiciary Committee's inquiries," the GOP Senators wrote to Barr.
The GOP Senators previously requested information on a classified appendix to Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report that was released in June of 2018 titled, "A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election."
"The classified appendix raises significant issues associated with the FBI's failure to review certain highly classified information in support of its Midyear investigation," the Senators wrote, referring to the code name the FBI gave to Hillary's email investigation. "In particular, the Inspector General noted that it learned that the FBI acquired classified material that 'may have included information potentially relevant to the Midyear investigation.' The FBI even drafted a memorandum in May of 2016 stating that access to the information was 'necessary to complete the investigation.' However, that memorandum was never completed."
The Inspector General's report on former FBI Director James Comey was very damning for the bureau and stated that Comey was "insubordinate" and "affirmatively concealed" information from the Justice Department during the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server, however, it concluded that actions taken by the corrupt agents did not change the outcome of the Clinton email probe.
The same FBI agents who handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server with kid gloves, migrated over to Mueller's probe to hunt down President Trump and his associates.
The FBI exonerated Hillary Clinton before interviewing 17 witnesses, including Hillary Clinton, handed out immunity like candy and claimed Hillary's "intent" factored into whether she would be indicted or not.
Hillary Clinton destroyed evidence under subpoena - her aides took hammers to multiple Blackberries and used BleachBit to erase over 30,000 emails, yet she still has never been indicted.
"You mean like with a cloth?" Clinton previously said mocking a journalist who questioned whether she wiped her private server clean to avoid handing over damning emails to investigators.
Former FBI Counterintelligence chief Peter Strzok changed the language on Hillary's exoneration letter from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," ultimately preventing the former Secretary of State from being charged under the Espionage Act.
Government watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained a tranche of Hillary Clinton's emails through a FOIA lawsuit that revealed classified information was found on her private server, including the name of a clandestine CIA agent

Top Senate Republicans are renewing the push for access to more information on the FBI's handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server now that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation has concluded. In a letter sent to Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday, three Senate chairman argue the Justice Department can no longer cite the ongoing Russian interference investigation as a reason not to comply with their demand for a briefing.
"Now that the Special Counsel's investigation has concluded, we are unaware of any legitimate basis upon which the Department can refuse to answer the Judiciary Committee's inquiries," Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., wrote in their letter.

The 568-page inspector general report found former FBI Director James Comey was "insubordinate" and "affirmatively concealed" his intentions from Justice Department leadership during the investigation into Clinton's private email server. The report also slammed former FBI investigator Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who were having an affair with each other, for anti-Trump tweets that suggested "a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate's electoral prospects."
Though the report criticized FBI actions as unorthodox and at times improper, ultimately it concluded that this did not change the outcome of the Clinton email investigation. Mueller concluded his investigation last month, issuing a nearly 400-page report to Barr on his findings. Barr intends to release a redacted version of the full report on Thursday.

As senators Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina wrote more than a year ago, "It strikes us as odd that, among your activities in the final moments on the final day of the Obama administration, you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual email purporting to document a conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the Trump/Russia investigation. In addition, despite your claim that President Obama repeatedly told Mr. Comey to proceed 'by the book,' substantial questions have arisen about whether officials at the FBI, as well as at the Justice Department and the State Department, actually did proceed 'by the book.'"

With talk that more top officials were likely to be ousted, Republicans expressed public and private concerns about the shake-up orchestrated by the White House and cautioned that leadership changes wouldn't necessarily solve the problem.
RELATED: Trump gives Mexico 12 months to stop flow of drugs, migrants or face tariffs, border shutdown
House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said his committee would look at the staff shake-up at Homeland Security, although he said he had not decided on calling in Nielsen.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said there was a serious problem going on between the White House and Homeland Security.
"If everybody's sitting around waiting for a shiny new wonder pony to ride in and solve it, we're going to be waiting a long time," he said.
At hearings across Capitol Hill, lawmakers also grilled administration officials on whether the family separation practice would resurface despite last year's outrage and evidence that separations were likely to cause lasting psychological effects on the children.
RELATED: US struggling with growing number of asylum seekers
People familiar with immigration discussions within the administration said family separation was one of several ideas Trump had revived in recent weeks as he and his aides try to tackle the problem of an ever-growing number of Central American families crossing into the U.S. The people were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
A senior administration official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity Tuesday said the president had made a series of leadership changes at DHS because of frustrations that department officials weren't fast enough at implementing changes, such as a new regulation that would challenge a longstanding agreement limiting how long children can be detained.
The White House also was weighing a tougher standard to evaluate initial asylum claims, proposing a "binary choice" that would force migrant families to choose between remaining with their children in detention until their immigration cases were decided or sending their children to government shelters while the parents remained in detention.
The administration also is considering clamping down on remittance payments that Mexican nationals send to their families, the official said.
Amid the pushback, Trump told reporters he was not "cleaning house" at the agency despite the numerous staff changes.
RELATED: House fails to override Trump veto of his border emergency
But as Trump was speaking, the senior administration official was making a case to reporters about why the president felt changes were necessary. He described the agency as a large and unwieldly civilian bureaucracy in need of leadership that can deal with career officials resistant to the president's agenda, including many responsible for implementing some of the very policies Trump seeks to roll back.
Top Republicans in Congress also expressed concern over vacancies at Homeland Security and cautioned Trump to heed off more churn after Nielsen's resignation.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, made both a public and private plea to the White House not to dismiss career homeland security officials, including the director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, Lee Francis Cissna, whose future remained uncertain Tuesday.
He said he had spoken to acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney but "never heard anything final" about Cissna.
Congress should really stop weighing in on the changes, and work on coming up with a solution for WE THE PEOPLE! Fix the damn loopholes!

Acting ICE director resigns after Trump pulls nomination
By Rafael Bernal - 04/10/19 04:48 PM EDT
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/438308-acting-ice-director-resigns
The acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Ron Vitiello, has resigned amid an agency-wide restructuring of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Vitiello had originally been nominated to take over the post permanently, but his nomination was abruptly pulled last week by President Trump, who said he wanted to go in a "tougher" direction.
ADVERTISEMENT
Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced the news of Vitiello's departure on Wednesday, praising his "knowledge and expertise as a seasoned law enforcement professional."
Nielsen said in a statement that Vitiello "has left a legacy of excellence as our Department has expanded and refined our efforts to curb illegal immigration and secure our borders."
Vitiello's last day at ICE will be Friday. Nielsen, whose own departure from the helm of DHS was announced over the weekend, is leaving Wednesday.
The moves come amid a White House shakeup affecting virtually all senior leadership at DHS that has seen the exit this week of Nielsen, Vitiello, Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex" Alles and Acting Deputy Homeland Secretary Claire Grady.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Francis Cissna, USCIS policy and strategy head Kathy Nuebel Kovarik and General Counsel John Mitnick are also reportedly due to resign.
A number of lawmakers from both parties have pushed back on plans to oust senior officials, while even some Trump allies on immigration have expressed concerns that the shakeup may be going too far.
Andrew Arthur, a research fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a think tank that favors reduced immigration, wrote that "these moves raise the question whether the president is irrationally looking for scapegoats on whom to blame for [the border] situation."
"[Trump] must reject purported efforts to remove U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Francis Cissna," Arthur wrote this week.
The lone survivor at the top of DHS so far is incoming Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, who until Wednesday served as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) commissioner.
Vitiello, a former Border Patrol chief, served as McAleenan's deputy at CBP from 2017 to 2018, before moving on to head ICE in an acting capacity.
With Vitiello's resignation, almost all senior Obama-era border and immigration holdovers are now out at the department.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told The Washington Post on Monday that Trump is "pulling the rug out from the very people" working to accomplish his agenda on immigration.
"The president has to have some stability and particularly with the number one issue that he's made for his campaign, throughout his two and a half years of presidency," Grassley said.
The shakeup has also drawn attention to White House adviser Stephen Miller, a key voice within the administration on immigration issues who is seen as a driving force on pushing the president's agenda concerning the border.
Senate Republicans have openly warned in recent days of Miller's outsize influence in the DHS decision-making process in the wake of recent departures at the agency.
"I hope that [Trump's] got more voices than that one in his ear on these issues, because, yeah, I think it's important that he get a whole perspective and range of opinions," said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).

GOP senators raise concerns about Miller's ascension
Senate Republicans are raising red flags over the purge at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the apparent rise of White House adviser Stephen Miller.
GOP senators are publicly and privately voicing their concerns, praising outgoing secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and questioning the dynamics between Trump's team of advisers and the embattled agency.
The shakeup at DHS is increasing tensions between Republicans and, in particular, Miller, whose influence appears to be growing. Known for his conservative views and work as a staffer for then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the 33-year-old White House aide is to the right of several Republican senators on immigration.
"I hope that he's got more voices than that one in his ear on these issues, because, yeah, I think it's important that he get a whole perspective and range of opinions," said Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican.
Pressed on who else the president should also be listening to, Thune added with a Chuckle, "Some of them are now gone."
Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), a member of GOP leadership, said Miller appears to be the "guy behind the curtain."

The shakeup at DHS is increasing tensions between Republicans and, in particular, Miller, whose influence appears to be growing. Known for his conservative views and work as a staffer for then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the 33-year-old White House aide is to the right of several Republican senators on immigration.
"I hope that he's got more voices than that one in his ear on these issues, because, yeah, I think it's important that he get a whole perspective and range of opinions," said Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican.
Pressed on who else the president should also be listening to, Thune added with a Chuckle, "Some of them are now gone."
Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), a member of GOP leadership, said Miller appears to be the "guy behind the curtain."
"I think what we need is a consistent message because I think there are some voices in the White House who are working counter to that message and particularly creating more problems for the administration by losing senior leadership," Cornyn said when asked if he had concerns about Miller's growing influence.
The musical chairs atop DHS, and broader concerns that the department could move further to the right on immigration, isn't the first time Miller has sparked ire from Senate Republicans. He has had a hand in some of the most controversial policies emanating from the White House.
And before that, while working for Sessions in the Senate, he fought against the 2013 Gang of Eight immigration bill that died in the GOP-controlled House.
Reports that Miller wants to oust Lee Cissna, head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), are putting him at odds with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). The GOP senator called acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney this week to make the case for keeping Cissna, a former Grassley staffer, and Kathy Nuebel Kovarik, who is head of policy and strategy at USCIS and previously worked for Grassley on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"I know Cissna well. I know Kathy Kovarik well. They're qualified people. They are good for the president," Grassley said. "I heard that they were going to be dismissed and that irritates me."
Grassley added that he could "be suspicious" of Miller's intentions; however, he had only heard a "rumor" of Miller's involvement in further high-level personnel changes at DHS.
But Grassley also questioned Miller's ability to counsel Trump on immigration.
"I don't know whether he's been an effective adviser for the president," Grassley said.

Donald Trump's Enemies, Friends Praise Embattled USCIS Chief
Supporters and opponents of President Donald Trump are rushing to defend Trump's deputy at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Lee Francis Cissna.
Sen. Chuck Grassley tweeted in support of Cissna, who is facing immediate firing as Trump cleans house at the Department of Homeland Security, according to a wide series of media reports. Commissioner McAleenan will do gr8 job @ DHS. Has gr8 support from 1 of smartest immigration policy minds I know: US Citizenship & Immigration Services Dir Cissna who worked w me for 2yrs on judic cmte & is doing an excellent job leading USCIS- ChuckGrassley (@ChuckGrassley) April 8, 2019
Trump has already fired Kirstjen Nielsen and replaced her with Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of the Customs and Border Protection agency within DHS. Many media reports say Trump also plans to fire the DHS's acting deputy leader Claire Grady, and DHS general counsel John Mitnick. Cissna is also on the chopping block, even though Trump's critics say Cissna has done a very good job for Trump.
Cissna's agency handles a vast amount of tasks - including curbing fraud by migrants, developing and implementing asylum reforms, overseeing the citizenship process, and tracking the visa worker programs, which keep a population of more than 1.5 million white-collar workers in U.S. jobs. "Cissna is the best thing that has happened to that agency since was created," said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Under President Barack Obama, "it was taken over by people who thought it was their job to rubber-stamp [work] visa applications, to [always] 'Get to Yes' .., [but now] Cissna is applying the law," said Stein.
Cissna is also backed by Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors Trump's "Hire American" policy. Moreover, Krikorian's argument in favor of Cissna is backed by an advocate for cheap labor immigration, Alex Nowrasteh at the Cato Institute, who bitterly opposes Trump's pro-American immigration policies. Cissna's implementation of Trump's pro-American policies also got a backward endorsement from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a pro-migration advocate at the immigration lawyers' advocacy group, the Immigration Council. "None of this makes any sense," Reichlin-Melnick wrote. "Cissna has been an extremely effective advocate for the administration's restrictionist priorities, and his agency has little to do with the current border issues. Why fire him?" Via Twitter, Krikorian argued that Cissna is vital for Trump's"Hire American" policy, which has raised wages for Americans since 2017 - and promises to keep raising those wages before the 2020 elections. Firing Cissna "would not be 'cleaning house', it would be burning the house down. Cutting off your nose to spite your face. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater ... There's no one else who is committed to "Hire American" AND capable of implementing it," he wrote. Cissna is a former immigration lawyer who has worked for DHS and on the Hill. Cissna knows what regulations need to be changed before Trump's "Hire American" policy can be fully implemented, and he also knows how to change those rules, a Hill source added.

GOP Senators Alert Barr to Allegations Mueller's Team Misrepresented Trump Campaign Emails to Fuel Russian Collusion Conspiracy Theories
Senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham alerted Attorney General Bill Barr to allegations Mueller's team misrepresented Trump campaign emails to fuel Russian collusion conspiracy theories.
Then-Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley sent Mueller a letter in 2017 alleging his team mischaracterized Trump campaign emails in a court filing to suggest Trump's advisors were eager to meet Russians during the 2016 presidential election.
In the newly released 2017 letter from Grassley to Mueller obtained by Fox News, the Iowa lawmaker shows concerns about the "absence of additional context" in various court filings against George Papadopoulos as well as media coverage of the documents. "The glaring lack of [context] feeds speculation and innuendo that distorts the facts," Grassley wrote at the time.
In a March 8th letter to Attorney General Bill Barr, Grassley and Graham refer the AG back to Grassley's 2017 letter alleging the special counsel's investigators selectively picked certain details and emails from Trump's advisors to include in a court filing to push the Russian collusion narrative out to the public.
It's unclear if Barr reviewed the senators' letter; a DOJ representative declined to comment on the missive, Fox News reported.
Fox News is told Grassley and Graham wanted Barr to have this material before he reviewed the Mueller report, out of concern some emails were selectively quoted to give a "nefarious" impression.
That court filing said Papadopoulos emailed another campaign official in May 2016 with the subject line, "Request from Russia to meet Mr. Trump." The document said the email stated that Russia "has been eager to meet Mr. Trump for quite sometime and have been reaching out to me to discuss," adding in a footnote that the official forwarded the email to another campaign official asking to discuss: "We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips. It should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal."
Grassley and Graham said the rabid main stream media then took the cherry-picked emails to report a "Campaign official suggested 'low level' staff should go to Russia." However, the Republican lawmakers said the full emails from the Trump campaign paint a completely different story.
"In full context, the emails in question actually show that the Trump Campaign wanted someone 'low level' to decline these types of invitations," Grassley and Graham wrote in the letter to Barr.
Grassley and Graham continued, "Another citation was reported by some news outlets as evidence that the campaign, notably Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis, encouraged personnel to meet with the Russians." This line in the court filing said that a campaign supervisor (Sam Clovis) told George Papadopoulos "I would encourage you" and another advisor to "make the trip" if possible, (to a meet with Russians).

In a March 8 letter, Grassley and Graham referred Barr to a letter sent to Mueller in late 2017 that alleged his investigators had cherry-picked details from emails to include in court documents, urging him to review the materials. They also notified him that they had asked DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz a year earlier to review the original FBI probe.

But Fox News is told the lawmakers wanted Barr to have this material before he reviewed the Mueller report, out of concern some emails were selectively quoted to give a "nefarious" impression. Fox News has also obtained the 2017 letter (above) from Grassley to Mueller, which spelled out the lawmakers' concerns about the "absence of additional context" in the court filings – as well as concerns over how those documents were covered in the media. "The glaring lack of [context] feeds speculation and innuendo that distorts the facts," Grassley wrote at the time.
In their March letter to Barr, Grassley and Graham pointed specifically to emails quoted in the Statement of Offense against former Trump adviser George Papadopoulos. That court filing said Papadopoulos emailed another campaign official in May 2016 with the subject line, "Request from Russia to meet Mr. Trump." The document said the email stated that Russia "has been eager to meet Mr. Trump for quite sometime and have been reaching out to me to discuss," adding in a footnote that the official forwarded the email to another campaign official asking to discuss: "We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips. It should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal." The senators said media outlets then seized on the fragments to report a "Campaign official suggested 'low level' staff should go to Russia." However, they said the full emails – obtained from the Trump campaign – tell a different story.
"In full context, the emails in question actually show that the Trump Campaign wanted someone 'low level' to decline these types of invitations," Grassley and Graham wrote in the letter to Barr. The senators added: "Another citation was reported by some news outlets as evidence that the campaign, notably Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis, encouraged personnel to meet with the Russians." This line in the original court document said that a campaign supervisor (later identified as Clovis) told Papadopoulos "I would encourage you" and another adviser to "make the trip" if possible, with regard to a meeting with Russians. The senators wrote, however, that "additional context shows that Papadopoulos had conversations with representatives from multiple governments, not just Russia, and that Clovis had opposed any trip to Russia for Mr. Trump and the campaign." Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents in October 2017 in connection to the Russia investigation and is currently on a 12-month supervised release from federal prison. He is now seeking a pardon from Trump.
Meanwhile, in late February of last year, Graham and Grassley also sent a letter to Horowitz requesting that his office look into "potential improper political influence, misconduct, and mismanagement" of the counterintelligence and criminal investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia before Mueller's appointment. "The referral was based in part on materially inconsistent statements reportedly made by Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign during the 2016 presidential election," their letter to Barr states. It continues: "The documents we have reviewed also raise questions about the role Bruce Ohr, a senior Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, had in passing allegations from Steele and Fusion GPS to the FBI after the FBI had terminated Mr. Steele as a source." The IG's office is reviewing potential surveillance abuses by the FBI, as well as leaks out of the bureau and improper gifts received by officials.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told President Trump in a conversation Monday that the Senate will not be moving comprehensive health care legislation before the 2020 election, despite the president asking Senate Republicans to do that in a meeting last week.
McConnell said he made clear to the president that Senate Republicans will work on bills to keep down the cost of health care, but that they will not work on a comprehensive package to replace the Affordable Care Act, which the Trump administration is trying to strike down in court.
"We had a good conversation yesterday afternoon and I pointed out to him the Senate Republicans' view on dealing with comprehensive health care reform with a Democratic House of Representatives," McConnell told reporters Tuesday, describing his conversation with Trump.
"I was fine with Sen. Alexander and Sen. Grassley working on prescription drug pricing and other issues that are not a comprehensive effort to revisit the issue that we had the opportunity to address in the last Congress and were unable to do so," he said, referring to Senate Health Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and the failed GOP effort in 2017 to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
"I made clear to him that we were not going to be doing that in the Senate," McConnell said he told the president. "He did say, as he later tweeted, that he accepted that and he would be developing a plan that he would take to the American people during the 2020 campaign."
After getting the message from McConnell, Trump tweeted Monday night that he no longer expected Congress to pass legislation to replace ObamaCare and still protect people with pre-existing medical conditions, the herculean task he laid before Senate Republicans at a lunch meeting last week.
"The Republicans are developing a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums (cost) & deductibles than ObamaCare," Trump wrote Monday night in a series of tweets after speaking to McConnell. "In other words it will be far less expensive & much more usable than ObamaCare Vote will be taken right after the Election when Republicans hold the Senate & win back the House."
Trump blindsided GOP senators when he told them at last week's lunch meeting that he wanted Republicans to craft legislation to replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
The only heads-up they got was a tweet from Trump shortly before the meeting, saying, "The Republican Party will become 'The Party of Healthcare!'"
The declaration drew swift pushback from Republicans like Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), who said the administration's efforts to invalidate the entire law were "a mistake."
Other Republicans, including Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah), said they wanted to first see a health care plan from the White House.
Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) on Tuesday said the chances of getting comprehensive legislation passed while Democrats control the House are very slim.
"It's going to be a really heavy lift to get anything through Congress this year given the political dynamics that we're dealing with in the House and the Senate," he said. "The best-laid plans and best of intentions with regard to an overhaul of the health care system in this country run into the wall of reality that it's going to be very hard to get a Democrat House and a Republican Senate to agree on something."

REMINDER
Turley: Sessions' Appointing Utah Federal Prosecutor Much Better for Trump than 2nd Special Counsel
Sessions sent a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC), and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), informing them that Huber is conducting a full-fledged criminal investigation into all the matters Republicans are calling for a special counsel to investigate. Huber has been investigating these possible crimes for five months, since November 13, 2017.
During an interview on Lou Dobbs's Fox Business Network show, Turley explained to guest host Stuart Varney that the media are wrongly reporting that Sessions will not appoint a second special counsel. "He did not foreclose the possibility of a special counsel," he insisted.
Instead, Turley explained that Sessions has ordered Huber to "team up with the inspector general (IG) within the Justice Department to investigate these matters."
Sessions informed Congress in his letter that all the matters recommended for investigation by Goodlatte, Gowdy, and Grassley are "fully within the scope of [Huber's] existing mandate." He also informed the chairmen that Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is working with Huber, has a staff of 470 investigators, giving Huber access to enormous investigative firepower that far exceeds the staff of any special counsel.
That point is critical because as Sessions' March 29 letter explains, the inspector general's jurisdiction to conduct civil and criminal investigations includes "actions taken by former employees after they have left government service." Then Huber can act on any of those matters.
As a U.S. attorney, Huber has full authority to empanel a grand jury and to file criminal charges. A grand jury can be empaneled anywhere, which means that it could be a group of citizens from deep-red Utah - in the heart of Trump country - instead of the D.C. Swamp that decides whether to hand down indictments for felony prosecution.
"The Inspector General's jurisdiction extends not only to allegations of legal violations, but also to allegations that Department employees violated established practices as well," Sessions added in his letter, which means that the IG's report can hold people accountable even for actions that do not violate a specific statute.
"I think [Sessions] did the right thing here," said Turley. "I think the president should listen to General Sessions on this one."
Sessions "can always appoint a special counsel," Turley explained, but that should not even be necessary because Huber "has the ability to prosecute cases."
"Do these prosecutors have the same power to investigate and get to the bottom of things that a special counsel would have?" Varney asked.
"Actually, yes," Turley answered. "I think people are missing what could be a brilliant move here by Sessions. What he did is he essentially combined the powers of the inspector general with the powers of a line prosecutor."
"This prosecutor does have not just the experience and training to look for a criminal case; he has the ability to move a case of that kind" in court, Turley emphasized.
Not only that, but if Sessions believes crimes were committed, but Huber for some reason does not bring charges, "Sessions has reserved the right to go ahead and appoint a special counsel," said Turley.
"That's a powerful combination," he observed.
When Varney asked if Huber and Horowitz's status as "Obama holdovers" creates a possible problem for Sessions and President Trump, Turley said no, observing that each man has a great reputation as a "dogged investigator."
Breitbart News has separately confirmed that Utah Sens. Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee, both of whom are Republicans who support aggressive investigations of these scandals, enthusiastically supported Huber to be reappointed by President Trump as his U.S. attorney in Utah. The Senate confirmed Huber in 2017 for a second term.
Huber is a Utah lawyer, not a D.C lawyer. "That distance between him and Washington is very important," Turley explained, because Huber is not part of the Deep State, that is, not cozy buddies with the cocktail party scene that is suspected of perpetrating all of these actions against President Trump and his administration.
Turley said President Trump should be very happy that Sessions chose this route of appointing Huber, who has the power to seek indictments and prosecute cases, and teamed him up with Horowitz, who has 470 investigators at his disposal, if the president wants to see swift and decisive action.
"If a special counsel were appointed, there would be a great deal of delay," Turley stated, versus the team of Huber and Horowitz, who are already five months into this investigation.

A federal judge ordered the Department of Justice to hand over memos drafted by former FBI Director James Comey in which he recorded the details of his one-on-one conversations with President Donald Trump.
Judge James Boasberg ruled in favor of CNN, The Daily Caller News Foundation, Judicial Watch, and others in ordering the Justice Department (DOJ) and the FBI to turn over the memos to the court by April 1.
The memos in question include those Comey leaked to a "friend" with the intention of triggering the appointment of a special counsel. At least one of the memos contains classified information, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
The New York Times published an article based on Comey's leaked memos on May 16, 2017, a week after Trump fired him. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed special counsel Robert Mueller the day after The New York Times article.
Government watchdog groups and the media have been fighting to obtain the memos since their existence was revealed. CNN sued the FBI and DOJ on June 15, 2017, promptly after the government failed to turn over the memos via a Freedom of Information Act request.

Jones is also paying Steele, another anti-Trump partisan, to continue to dig up dirt on the president. Fusion GPS paid the former British intelligence officer $168,000 to produce a series of anonymously sourced memos for Clinton accusing the Trump campaign of hatching an espionage plot with the Kremlin to hack Clinton campaign emails and steal the election. The memos also claimed that the Kremlin held compromising material on Trump, including video of him carousing with prostitutes in Moscow. Three years of multiple federal investigations have failed to verify the accusations, which were nonetheless used by the FBI to obtain a secret court-approved wiretap on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
In a letter last year, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, then chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, suggested that the anti-Trump trio was responsible for spreading "inaccurate" information about the Russia investigation and the Trump campaign. "Mr. Jones stated he planned to push the information he obtained from Fusion and Steele to policymakers on Capitol Hill, the press and the FBI," Grassley wrote Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, referring to an FBI interview with Jones.
Simpson and Steele have a history of feeding the FBI and Congress unsubstantiated allegations and rumors, sending investigators down rabbit holes. They have also planted several anti-Trump stories in the media that have proved unverifiable, unfounded, or just plain false.
Cleta Mitchell, who says a McClatchy article about her, the NRA and Russia was a "complete fabrication" pushed by Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS.

These include a McClatchy newspapers story asserting that "NRA attorney Cleta Mitchell" warned during the 2016 campaign that Russians had infiltrated the NRA and were using it to launder illegal donations to Trump. Mitchell called the article a "complete fabrication," noting that she hadn't worked for the NRA in a decade and had no contact with it in 2016. She claims Simpson personally shopped the bogus story to McClatchy. Her allegation was bolstered by senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, who revealed in recently released closed-door congressional testimony that Simpson fed him the same rumor after the election and asked him to pass it on to his colleagues at the FBI.

Marco Rubio's and Susan Collins' bill to seize your guns is up for a hearing THIS MORNING in the Senate Judiciary Committee and I need your immediate action.
With members of BOTH parties in Congress clamoring for a gun control "deal," I'm afraid Senator Lindsey Graham's (202-224-5972) Committee could vote to make so-called "Red Flag" Gun Confiscation Orders a reality.
If the anti-gun statists aren't stopped before it's too late, you and I could be steamrolled by this blatantly UNCONSTITUTIONAL scheme - which will effectively hand government agents the power to seize our firearms any time they want.
The good news is, you and I can derail their plan by deluging Judiciary Committee members with phone calls before the hearing kicks off a round of horse trading where Senators swap support for their favorite infringements on our Second Amendment rights.
Campaign for Liberty has identified several key members of the Senate Judiciary Committee whose opposition to this scheme could be crucial to derailing the gun-grabbers' momentum.
Please take just a moment to call the following members and urge them to publicly oppose this unconstitutional scheme in the hearing on Tuesday:

The 2nd Amendment isn't safe!
New Laws Force Drug Users Into Rehab Against Their Will~2017 And will effect your gun ownership!
Meanwhile, detaining a person who has committed no crime based on what they might do in the future has potentially severe long-term repercussions.
"Involuntary commitment gives someone a lifelong marker that interferes with their ability to get health care coverage or own a firearm, and it could prevent them from getting certain jobs, like federal employment," said Mary Catherine Roper, of the the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania.
Once a civil commitment is on a person's record, Roper says, it's nearly impossible to get it expunged.
Her only "crime," she says, was having a bad reaction to her doctor-prescribed opioid medication.
Hicks claims she had been placed in five-point restraints and "forcibly and unwillingly subjected to the use of strong anti-psychotic medications"
According to the National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws, 37 states already have statutes that allow substance abusers who have not committed a crime to be briefly detained against their will.

Turley: Sessions' Appointing Utah Federal Prosecutor Much Better for Trump than 2nd Special Counsel
Sessions sent a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC), and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), informing them that Huber is conducting a full-fledged criminal investigation into all the matters Republicans are calling for a special counsel to investigate. Huber has been investigating these possible crimes for five months, since November 13, 2017.
Sessions informed Congress in his letter that all the matters recommended for investigation by Goodlatte, Gowdy, and Grassley are "fully within the scope of [Huber's] existing mandate." He also informed the chairmen that Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is working with Huber, has a staff of 470 investigators, giving Huber access to enormous investigative firepower that far exceeds the staff of any special counsel.
That point is critical because as Sessions' March 29 letter explains, the inspector general's jurisdiction to conduct civil and criminal investigations includes "actions taken by former employees after they have left government service." Then Huber can act on any of those matters.
As a U.S. attorney, Huber has full authority to empanel a grand jury and to file criminal charges. A grand jury can be empaneled anywhere, which means that it could be a group of citizens from deep-red Utah - in the heart of Trump country - instead of the D.C. Swamp that decides whether to hand down indictments for felony prosecution.
Sessions "can always appoint a special counsel," Turley explained, but that should not even be necessary because Huber "has the ability to prosecute cases."
"This prosecutor does have not just the experience and training to look for a criminal case; he has the ability to move a case of that kind" in court, Turley emphasized.
Not only that, but if Sessions believes crimes were committed, but Huber for some reason does not bring charges, "Sessions has reserved the right to go ahead and appoint a special counsel," said Turley.
"That's a powerful combination," he observed.
When Varney asked if Huber and Horowitz's status as "Obama holdovers" creates a possible problem for Sessions and President Trump, Turley said no, observing that each man has a great reputation as a "dogged investigator."
Breitbart News has separately confirmed that Utah Sens. Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee, both of whom are Republicans who support aggressive investigations of these scandals, enthusiastically supported Huber to be reappointed by President Trump as his U.S. attorney in Utah. The Senate confirmed Huber in 2017 for a second term.
Huber is a Utah lawyer, not a D.C lawyer. "That distance between him and Washington is very important," Turley explained, because Huber is not part of the Deep State, that is, not cozy buddies with the cocktail party scene that is suspected of perpetrating all of these actions against President Trump and his administration.
Turley said President Trump should be very happy that Sessions chose this route of appointing Huber, who has the power to seek indictments and prosecute cases, and teamed him up with Horowitz, who has 470 investigators at his disposal, if the president wants to see swift and decisive action.
"If a special counsel were appointed, there would be a great deal of delay," Turley stated, versus the team of Huber and Horowitz, who are already five months into this investigation.

Q Research General #7455: My Kingdom For A Baker Edition
No More Indictments Expected in Mueller Probe
For over two years now, the radical left has convinced itself that Donald Trump wasn't a fairly elected president, that he and his campaign colluded with Russia, who somehow managed to change votes and pull off an unexpected victory on Election Day 2016. If anyone could find evidence of collusion, it was special counsel Mueller, with unlimited resources, and an army of anti-Trump investigators.
But liberals who have been chomping at the bit waiting for Mueller to come to their rescue and give cause for Trump's impeachment and criminal prosecution should be bracing themselves to be hugely disappointed. According to a recent report, no more indictments are expected as part of the Mueller probe, according to ABC News.
There's no shortage of speculation on special counsel Robert M ueller's report, much of it totally uninformed.
But we don't need to speculate on the scope - the man who appointed Mueller has already given us a potential road map on what to expect from the special counsel.
The bottom line: Do not expect a harsh condemnation of President Donald Trump or any of his associates if they have not been charged with crimes.
The road map comes in the form a little-noticed 12-page letter written by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein last June to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley.
In his letter, Rosenstein wrote, "Punishing wrongdoers through judicial proceedings is only one part of the Department's mission. We also have a duty to prevent the disclosure of information that would unfairly tarnish people who are not charged with crimes."
Sources familiar with the investigation believe there are no more indictments coming from the special counsel. If Mueller follows the guidance of the man who appointed him and supervised his investigation, he cannot publicly disparage those who have not been charged with a crime.
Rosenstein is emphatic on this point: "In fact, disclosing uncharged allegations against American citizens without a law-enforcement need is considered to be a violation of a prosecutor's trust."
The Mueller probe has resulted in over 30 indictments and plea deals. Vox has compiled a list here, and you will notice something very interesting if you read through them: none of Trump's business or campaign associates have been indicted for anything relating to collusion with Russia. George Papadopoulos, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Roger Stone... the left may have salivated each time one of them got ensnared by Mueller, but none of their legal troubles, despite being part of the Russia probe, brought us closer to evidence that Trump colluded with Russia. If anything, just the opposite. Michael Cohen, Trump's personal attorney and fixer, enjoyed attorney-client privilege with Trump. If anyone had the goods on Russian collusion, it was him, and he showed he was more than willing to sing like a canary in the hopes of reducing his sentence, but when he testified before Congress as the Democrats' star witness, he said he had no direct evidence of collusion. "Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia. I do not. I want to be clear," he said.
The Mueller probe is just about over, as is the Democrats' hopes of ousting Trump via impeachment. They'll try to keep the dream alive with their own partisan investigations in the hopes of making it difficult for Trump to govern, or appoint a new Supreme Court justice in the event of a vacancy. Those will go nowhere, of course. At least one potential witness, Michael R. Caputo, is refusing to cooperate with the Democrats' witch hunt. After two years of an investigation that has become a distraction for the country, people are ready to move on-even if Democrats haven't gotten the message. The end of the Mueller probe may be the end of the Democrats' impeachment fantasy, but things are only going to get uglier from there.

Letter from deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein offers potential road map to special counsel Robert Mueller's probe

Rosenstein is emphatic on this point: "In fact, disclosing uncharged allegations against American citizens without a law-enforcement need is considered to be a violation of a prosecutor's trust."
Later in the letter, he makes it clear this standard applies to anybody under investigation, even public officials.
"No matter who an investigation involves – an ordinary citizen, a local or state politician, a campaign official, a foreign agent, an officer of the federal legislative, executive, or judicial branch – agents and prosecutors are obligated to protect its confidentiality."
In the letter Rosenstein directly takes issue with the justification then-FBI Director James Comey used to publicly criticize Hillary Clinton in 2016 even as he decided not to charge her with a crime. At the time, Comey justified the break with long-time DOJ practice as an "extraordinary step" necessary because of circumstances so unusual they were comparable to a "500-year flood."
"It is important for the Department of Justice to follow established procedures, especially when the stakes are high," Rosenstein wrote.

There's no shortage of speculation on the special counsel Robert Mueller's report, much of it totally uninformed.

The letter was in response to Grassley's demands for more information on the special counsel investigation, offers a brief history of special counsel investigations and actually quotes former and future Attorney General William Barr who appointed three special counsels during his time as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush.
In the letter, Rosenstein makes it clear he believes the Department of Justice will not - and cannot without violating long-standing Department of Justice policy - include disparaging or incriminating information about anybody who has not been charged with a crime.
"Punishing wrongdoers through judicial proceedings is only one part of the Department's mission," Rosenstein wrote. "We also have a duty to prevent the disclosure of information that would unfairly tarnish people who are not charged with crimes."

Grassle, Durbin Bill Will Require Supreme Court to Allow Cameras in the Courtroom
COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU??
https://www.Grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassle-durbin-bill-will-require-supreme-court-allow-cameras-courtroom
Mar 14, 2019
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), both members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reintroduced legislation today to require open proceedings of the Supreme Court to be televised. The bipartisan Cameras in the Courtroom Act would require the Supreme Court to permit television coverage of all open sessions of the Court, unless the Court decides, by a majority vote of the Justices, that doing so would constitute a violation of the due process rights of one or more of the parties before the Court. Today's bill introduction coincides with "Sunshine Week," a national initiative aimed at promoting a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information.
"Decisions made by the Supreme Court can resonate with Americans for generations, yet most of them will never have a chance to see the highest court in action. Opening up the Supreme Court's public proceedings to cameras and other broadcast tools provides a window into the court for all Americans, not just those in Washington, D.C. It would also expand the people's understanding of our judicial system," Grassley said.
"Supreme Court rulings affect the lives of every American from every zip code in the country. Yet, Supreme Court arguments and decisions can only be watched by a few hundred Americans who are able to obtain a seat in the courtroom and view them live," Durbin said. "I'm once again reintroducing this bill so we can shine a light in the halls of this historic court, and ensure that decisions affecting our country for generations to come can viewed by everyone."
U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) are cosponsoring the Cameras in the Courtroom Act.
The House plans to reintroduce companion legislation soon. U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (D-IL-05) has led this effort in the House for the past several Congresses.
"Judicial transparency is paramount to a well-functioning democracy," said Quigley. "Just last week, I brought Justices Elena Kagan and Samuel Alito before the House Appropriations subcommittee that I chair to emphasize the importance of allowing cameras in the courtroom. It is a disservice not to provide the public with access to federal court deliberations, and by taking this important step to increase government transparency the American people can have an opportunity to hear firsthand the arguments and opinions that will shape their society for years to come."
The Cameras in the Courtroom Act only applies to open sessions of the Supreme Court - sessions where members of the public are already invited to observe in person, but often cannot because there are a very limited number of unreserved seats in the Courtroom. Allowing public scrutiny of Supreme Court proceedings would produce greater accountability, transparency, and understanding of our judicial system.
In 2016, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report highlighting the value of broadcasting video and audio coverage of Supreme Court and other appellate court proceedings. The report cites stakeholders who state that the benefits of such coverage include enhancing public access to the courts, educating the public on the judiciary, and providing a useful window into how courts think about the issues in a case.
In 2012, the bill was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on a bipartisan vote of 11-7. The bill was also approved by the Committee on a bipartisan vote of 13-6 in 2010.

Q Research General #7261: Strzok Transcript Just Released Edition
House votes 420-0 to release Mueller's report to the public
The House on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution calling on special counsel Robert Mueller to release his final report to the public once it's out. Lawmakers voted 420-0 in favor of the measure from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. Four Republicans voted "present" on the resolution: Reps. Justin Amash of Michigan, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Paul Gosar of Arizona. The vote is a clear sign from Congress that members of both parties want to see Mueller's results at the end of what has almost been a two-year investigation. Mueller has been investigating President Trump's alleged collusion with Russia to win the 2016 election.
Democrats and Republicans have been pushing for the release of Mueller's report for different reasons. Democrats fear the report may show some wrongdoing by Trump that remains out of the public eye because of the Justice Department's policy of not indicting a sitting president. "If it basically says, 'Hey, we would have indicted Donald Trump for these offenses but for the fact that there's a policy memo saying we can't,' then I think Congress has to really look at these issues and decide what to do with whatever offenses the Robert Mueller investigation reveals," said Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., this month.
Republicans are out to make sure they understand exactly how Mueller operated in his investigation against Trump. "Congress and the American people have a right to know how their government conducts business and spends tax dollars," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in January. "Special counsel investigations are no different." The resolution calls on Mueller to release his final report to the public, and also calls on the Justice Department to release it to Congress. Attorney General William Barr has said only that he would send a summary of Mueller's report to Congress.

Q Research General #7256: Trust Horowitz Edition
Charity Backed By Silicon Valley Tech Titans Gave $500K To Fusion GPS-Linked Group
A former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer who has worked with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele quietly formed a pro-democracy nonprofit group in 2018 called Advance Democracy Inc.
A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found that a multi-billion dollar charity backed by Silicon Valley tech titans donated $500,000 to the group last year.
The staffer operates a similar charity called The Democracy Integrity Project, which receives funding from George Soros. He allegedly told one associate that the group operates as a "shadow media organization" that works with the U.S. government.
A Silicon Valley charity gave $500,000 to a nonprofit group founded by a former Senate staffer who is working with Fusion GPS and Trump dossier author Christopher Steele.
The Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF), which has received significant funding from tech industry billionaires, gave the donation in 2018 to Advance Democracy Inc., a Virginia-based 501(c)(3) group, according to a database the recipient group runs.
A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found that Advance Democracy shares the same address as The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP), another nonprofit group started by a former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer for California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Daniel Jones.
Mystery surrounds both of Jones's operations. The identities of both groups' donors have largely been kept secret, as Jones has avoided revealing his backers.
The secrecy would appear at odds with Advance Democracy's website description that it is an "independent, non-partisan organization that promotes accountability, transparency, and good governance in the United States and around the world."
Jones created TDIP on Jan. 31, 2017, according to registration records filed in Washington, D.C. Through that group, Jones partnered with Fusion GPS and Steele to continue a private investigation into President Donald Trump and Russia. One goal of the organization, Jones told the FBI, was to provide information to the media, lawmakers and the FBI.
Jones, who worked for Feinstein on the Senate Intelligence Committee through 2015, allegedly told one associate that his operation worked as a "shadow media organization" with the U.S. government, TheDCNF previously reported. He also took credit for planting anti-Trump stories in the press.
Jones formed Advance Democracy on Jan. 29, 2018 - four days after then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley identified Jones in letters seeking information related to Steele's dossier regarding Trump's alleged relationship with Russia.

Q Research General #7248: RIP Sergeant James H. Locklear Edition
On Tuesday, Lee sponsored the Article ONE Act, which would limit the president's authority to declare for only 30 days unless Congress voted to extend the emergency. Fourteen Republican senators backed the bill on Tuesday, which includes Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Pat Toomey (R-PA), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Jim Moran (R-KS), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Rob Portman (R-OH), Todd Young (R-IN), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Roger Wicker (R-MS).
However, after the White House announced that they will back the Article ONE Act, Lee joined four other Republican senators to vote in favor of ending the national emergency. Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Susan Collins (R-ME) have signaled that they will vote to end the national emergency to build a wall along the southern border.
Fox News reporter Chad Pergram said that sources told him that as many as 15 Republican senators could join all 47 Senate Democrats to end the national emergency declaration, which puts the Senate close to enough votes to override a presidential veto.

Q Research General #7223: It's All About The 12 Edition
GOP senators introduce bill to rein in president's emergency powers
More than a dozen Republican senators introduced legislation on Tuesday that would make it easier for Congress to terminate future national emergency declarations, days before the chamber will vote on President Trump's.
The legislation, spearheaded by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), would require that Congress pass a resolution extending an emergency declaration after 30 days for it to continue; otherwise the declaration would be terminated.
"If Congress is troubled by recent emergency declarations made pursuant to the National Emergencies Act, they only have themselves to blame. Congress gave these legislative powers away in 1976 and it is far past time that we as an institution took them back. If we don't want our president acting like a king we need to start taking back the legislative powers that allow him to do so," Lee said in a statement.
In addition to Lee, GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Thom Tillis (N.C.), Joni Ernst (Iowa), Pat Toomey (Pa.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Ben Sasse (Neb.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Todd Young (Ind.), Mitt Romney (Utah), Ted Cruz (Texas) and Roger Wicker (Miss.) are supporting the legislation.
The legislation - known as the Assuring that Robust, Thorough, and Informed Congressional Leadership is Exercised Over National Emergencies (Article One) Act - would be a significant change to the mechanism Congress has to block a national emergency declaration.
Currently, Congress has to pass a resolution of disapproval to block Trump's emergency declaration on constructing the U.S.-Mexico border wall. Trump is expected to veto the resolution and neither chamber is expected to be able to override that veto.
Trump's emergency declaration has sparked a widespread discussion among Senate Republicans about if they should change the National Emergencies Act. Though Republicans largely support Trump on border security, they are concerned that a future Democratic president will use his precedent to force through action on issues like climate change or gun control.

Q Research General #7203: Nate Cain, Stay in the LIGHT Edition
>>5632174 (pb)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/13/obama-aide-started-christopher-steele-fbi-alliance/
Mr. Steele was excited over his findings about Mr. Trump's supposed dalliance with Russian prostitutes and purported collusion with the Kremlin. He pressed his handler, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, to let him go to the FBI.
Mr. Simpson agreed. Mr. Steele telephoned Michael Gaeta, an FBI agent with whom he worked on soccer league corruption who was then stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Rome.
"I can't discuss it over the phone. You have to come here. Believe me, Mike, you have to come to London," Mr. Steele told him that summer.
Says "Russian Roulette," "There were a few hoops Gaeta had to jump through. He was assigned to the U.S. embassy in Rome. The FBI checked with Victoria Nuland's office at the State Department: Do you support this meeting? Nuland, having found Steele's reports on Ukraine to have been generally credible, gave the green light."
"Within a few days, on July 5, Gaeta arrived and headed to Steele's office near Victoria station. Steele handed him a copy of the report. Gaeta, a seasoned FBI agent, started to read. He turned white. For a while, Gaeta said nothing. Then he remarked, 'I have to report this to headquarters.'"
Ms. Nuland's name surfaced in January as Senate investigators under Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, turned up evidence that Mr. Steele met with another Obama State Department official, Jonathan Winer.
He worked as a middleman to bring Mr. Steele together with Sidney Blumenthal, a fierce Hillary Clinton defender. Mr. Winer spoke with Ms. Nuland, who gave a heads-up to Secretary of State John F. Kerry.
At the time, Ms. Nuland, a career diplomat, was assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs.

Q Research General #7198: Intercepts are Revealing Edition
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley claimed that special counsel Robert Mueller quoted selectively from Trump campaign emails in court filings in the case against George Papadopoulos.
In a "statement of offense" in the Papadopoulos case, Mueller suggested the Trump campaign wanted a "low-level" campaign staffer to meet with Russian government officials.
Grassley claims other campaign emails provide additional context showing that the Trump team wanted a campaign aide merely to reject offers to meet with Russians.

Old News?
The Senate Judiciary Committee is questioning whether the Democratic National Committee violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) by working with Ukrainian government officials to undermine Donald Trump's presidential campaign last year.
In a letter sent to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley pointed to a report published by Politico in January laying out DNC official Alexandra Chalupa's collaboration with Ukrainian politicians to compile research on Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman.
Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American activist who is no longer affiliated with the DNC, was paid $70,000 as a consultant for the party during the 2016 presidential cycle. She was paid $412,000 between 2004 and last year.

Q Research General #6986: POTUS Live From CPAC Edition
Part II
NRC officials said they could not disclose the total amount of uranium that Uranium One exported because the information is proprietary. They did, however, say that the shipments only lasted from 2012 to 2014 and that they are unaware of any exports since then.
NRC officials told The Hill that Uranium One exports flowed from Wyoming to Canada and on to Europe between 2012 and 2014, and the approval involved a process with multiple agencies.
Rather than give Rosatom a direct export license - which would have raised red flags inside a Congress already suspicious of the deal - the NRC in 2012 authorized an amendment to an existing export license for a Paducah, Ky.-based trucking firm called RSB Logistics Services Inc. to simply add Uranium One to the list of clients whose uranium it could move to Canada.
The license, reviewed by The Hill, is dated March 16, 2012, and it increased the amount of uranium ore concentrate that RSB Logistics could ship to the Cameco Corp. plant in Ontario from 7,500,000 kilograms to 12,000,000 kilograms and added Uranium One to the "other parties to Export."
The move escaped notice in Congress.
Officials at RSB, Cameco and Rosatom did not return repeated phone calls or emails seeking comment.
Uranium One's American arm, however, emailed a statement to The Hill on Wednesday evening confirming it did export uranium to Canada through the trucking firm and that 25 percent of that nuclear fuel eventually made its way outside North America to Europe and Asia, stressing all the exports complied with federal law.
"None of the US U308 product produced to date has been sold to non-US customers except for approximately 25% which was sold via book transfer at the conversion facilities to customers from Western Europe and Asia," executive Donna Wickers said. "Any physical export of the product from conversion facilities to non-US destinations is under the control of such customers and subject to NRC regulation."
The United States actually imports the majority of the uranium it uses as fuel. In 2016, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 24 percent of the imports came from Kazakhstan and 14 percent came from Russia.
The sale of Uranium One to a Russian state-owned firm, however, has created political waves that have led to multiple congressional investigations. Republicans say they want to learn how the sale could have been approved and whether there was political interference.
"The more that surfaces about this deal, the more questions it raises," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in a statement released after this story was published. Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has launched an investigation into Uranium One.
"It now appears that despite pledges to the contrary, U.S. uranium made its way overseas as a part of the Uranium One deal," Grassley said in the statement. "What's more disturbing, those transactions were apparently made possible by various Obama Administration agencies while the Democrat-controlled Congress turned a blind eye.
"Americans deserve assurances that political influence was not a factor in all this. I'm increasingly convinced that a special counsel - someone with no prior involvement in any of these deals - should shine a light on this ordeal and get answers for the American people."
Government officials told The Hill that the NRC was able to amend the export license affecting Uranium One because of two other decisions previously made by the Obama administration as part of a Russian "reset" in President Obama's first term.
First, Obama reinstated a U.S.-Russia civilian nuclear energy cooperation agreement. President George W. Bush had signed the agreement in 2008, but withdrew from it before it could take effect after Russia became involved in a military conflict with the former Soviet republic of Georgia, a U.S. ally, and after new concerns surfaced that Moscow was secretly aiding Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions.
Obama re-submitted the agreement for approval by the Democrat-controlled Congress in May 2010, declaring Russia should be viewed as a friendly partner under Section 123 the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 after agreeing to a new nuclear weapons reduction deal and helping the U.S. with Iran.
"I have concluded: (1) that the situation in Georgia need no longer be considered an obstacle to proceeding with the proposed Agreement; and (2) that the level and scope of U.S.-Russia cooperation on Iran are sufficient to justify resubmitting the proposed agreement to the Congress," Obama said in a statement sent to Congress.

7 Pharma Execs Testified Before The Senate On Drug Prices. Here's How Many Millions They Make A Year
Five of the seven pharmaceutical companies who sent executives to testify on drug pricing before the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday have the top-25 highest paid pharma CEOs for companies in the S&P 500.
CEOs from AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck, Pfizer and Sanofi plus Johnson & Johnson's executive vice president of pharmaceuticals, Jennifer Taubert, were grilled by Senate Finance Chair Chuck Grassley and other lawmakers at the hearing.
Altogether, the top-25 CEOs whose companies were represented Tuesday received a combined $116,671,792 in compensation, including stock and stock options, in 2017, according to analysis by The Wall Street Journal. That number includes annual compensation for former Pfizer CEO Ian Read, who ceded the position to new CEO Albert Bourla in January. Bourla testified before the committee Tuesday.
Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorsky rakes in the most out of the CEOs, with yearly compensation valued at $29,802,564, according to The WSJ. Taubert, who repped Johnson & Johnson and its pharmaceutical arm Janssen at Tuesday's hearing, has no annual compensation data available according to Bloomberg. (RELATED: Grassley Reminds Pharma CEOs How Much Drug List Prices Matter During Hearing)
The runner-up is former Pfizer CEO Ian Read, who had yearly compensation of more than $27 million. He had agreed to delay implementing proposed prescription drug price increases after speaking with President Donald Trump in July. Trump told the company it should be "ashamed" of its price increases in a July 9 tweet.
The CEOs of Abbvie and Bristol-Myers Squibb round out the top 10 highest-paid executives on The WSJ's list. AbbVie CEO Richard Gonzalez made more than $22 million in 2017, and Bristol-Myers Squibb CEO Giovanni Caforio made more than $18 million in 2017.

Q Research General #6908: Flight Of The Valkyries Edition
Senate Republicans confirmed a Ninth Circuit nominee on Tuesday even though neither home-state senator returned a "blue slip" for the judge nominated by President Trump.
Senators voted 53-46 on Eric Miller's nomination, making him the 31st appeals judge confirmed since Trump took office in January 2017.
Miller is the first circuit court nominee to be confirmed without a blue slip from either home-state senator, with neither Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) nor Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) returning the sheet of paper that indicates if they support him.
Murray warned minutes ahead of the vote that Miller's nomination was putting the Senate on a "very dangerous path."
"Republican leaders are now barreling towards a confirmation vote on a Ninth Circuit nominee, a flash point that if it succeeds will mark a massive departure from the long-standing bipartisan process that has been in place for generations," Murray said from the Senate floor.
Cantwell added that the "confirmation process has, I believe, gone against long-standing Senate traditions, norms, and the role of advise and consent to his nomination."
It's the latest escalation of a years-long fight over the blue slip, with Democrats accusing Republicans of trying to defang the minority by moving nominations without support from home-state senators.
The blue-slip rule - a precedent upheld by Senate tradition - has historically allowed a home-state senator to stop a lower-court nominee by refusing to return the blue slip to the Judiciary Committee.
How strictly the precedent is upheld is decided by the committee chairman, and enforcement has varied depending on who wields the gavel.
But it's emerged as a flashpoint during the Trump administration as several Democratic senators have refused to return their paperwork on circuit court nominees from their home states, setting up a round of fights between Democrats and the White House.
Several circuit nominees were confirmed last year despite not receiving a blue slip from one of the home state senators.
Republicans also brought Ninth Circuit nominee Ryan Bounds to the floor despite not receiving a blue slip from either Oregon Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley or Ron Wyden but his nomination was withdrawn after Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) indicated that he wouldn't support him.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted out Miller's nomination along party lines earlier this month.
Democrats were infuriated when Republicans held a hearing for Miller during the October recess last year when most lawmakers were out of town.
GOP aides argued that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the top Democrat on the panel, had agreed to the dates, but Democrats say they did not agree to move forward if the Senate was not in session.
Only two senators of the then-21-member panel attended the hearing, with Miller only getting asked two questions by Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho).
Neither Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who was the chairman at the time, or any of the Democratic senators were there.
"He will make decisions on our nation's most important issues and will have the power to change Americans' lives," said Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.). "Yet this Republican leadership believes a five-minute hearing is enough for a circuit court nominee who doesn't have the support of his own home-state senators."
Republicans have dismissed Democratic complaints noting that Democrats, led by then Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), got rid of the 60-vote filibuster for lower court nominations in 2013, ensuring an appeals judge could be confirmed by a simple majority.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) touted Miller on Tuesday morning and urged senators to vote to confirm him.
"All in all, his classmates, many of whom have also been his colleagues over the years, say that Mr. Miller is, 'extraordinarily well-qualified' to serve as a federal judge," he said. "I would urge each of my colleagues to join me in voting for this fine nominee soon."
Then-Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) also sent a letter to Murray and Cantwell late last year saying they had not returned their blue slips but also not given any "substantive reasons for your opposition."
"My preliminary conclusion is that the White House staff attempted to engage in meaningful consultation with you but that their engagement was not reciprocated," Grassley wrote in the letter. "I believe the White House engaged in meaningful consultation with you regarding the Ninth Circuit vacancy in Washington."

Q Research General #6894: Another Fine Day Edition
<Happening today, Congressional hearings with Pharma CEO's. First time in 60 years.
Why this hearing might actually matter: Both the Trump administration and Democratic lawmakers have been pounding the issue of drug prices, albeit with some different proposals for addressing the problem. And the top Finance Committee members in each party, Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR), just launched an investigation into insulin price increases. So it's clear that lawmakers feel pressure to act - and, after the midterm elections, are keenly aware of the political risks of failing to do so with voters again going to the polls in 2020.
"The hearing demonstrates something of a political sea change in the willingness of members of Congress to really put pressure on big pharmaceutical manufacturers to become part of the solution and to answer for some of their anticompetitive and patent abuse tactics," Jon Conradi, a spokesperson for the Campaign for Sustainable Rx Pricing, a coalition of physician organizations, hospital associations, health plans and other business groups, told Politico.
On the other hand, Jay Hancock at Kaiser Health News points out that Congress held similar hearings on drug prices 60 years ago. Yes, 60. "Health policy scholars say the similar hearings show just how much unfinished business remains and how well pharma companies have protected profits and limited regulation over the years," he writes.
So the real key will be whether lawmakers follow through on their tough talk once the hearing is over and the cameras are off.

kamala harris m.o. shady as fuck
Now, in the midst of the FBI investigation that Flake demanded go forth against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh in exchange for his confirmation vote, Sen. Kamala Harris has tossed a letter out there for consideration that comes courtesy of a woman who says she was allegedly raped by the good judge and his friend after they drove her home from a party.
Repeatedly raped, to be clear.
The accuser signed the letter "Jane Doe." Of course she did.
The accuser also mysteriously left out any details that could prove helpful to an investigation - meaning, the allegations have been thrown out there, in all their tantalizing, titillating gory glory, and there's nothing to go on to either confirm or deny. That means the left can run with it as if it's true, and Kavanaugh, his family and his supporters will be stuck arguing a negative.
No return address; just a letter written by an anonymous California sender to Sen. Chuck Grassley, "et al," and delivered to Harris.

The lawsuit also forced the release of a November 6, 2016, email by then-FBI official Peter Strzok telling Bowdich, Priestap, Rybicki, Page, former FBI General Counsel James Baker and others: "[Redacted], Jon and I completed our review of all of the potential HRC work emails on the [Anthony Weiner] laptop. We found no previously unknown, potentially classified emails on the media."
As Judicial Watch previously reported, there were at least 18 classified emails found on the Weiner laptop by the FBI. Paul Sperry's RealClear Investigations report revealed that only 3,077 of the 340,000 emails "were directly reviewed for classified or incriminating information."
The new records also include a September 2, 2016, email that Comey forwards containing a press release issued that day by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), in which Grassley criticized the FBI for not publicly releasing many unclassified records related to the Clinton email-server investigation, as demanded by Congress. In his cover note responding to Grassley's charge, Comey tells his top aides, "To be great is to be misunderstood." Page then responds with, "Outstanding."
On October 23, 2016, Strzok forwarded to Page and others the Wall Street Journal article revealing that Andrew McCabe's wife had received a half million dollars for her Democratic state senate campaign. Page responded that the article, "shaded or omitted or mischaracterized" facts "in order to get out the story [the reporter] wanted to tell." She claimed the WSJ story was just "another depressing chapter in this whole post-investigation saga."
"It is big news that, just days before the presidential election, Hillary Clinton's personal lawyer pressured the top lawyer for the FBI on the infamous Weiner laptop emails," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "These documents further underscore that the fix was in for Hillary Clinton. When will the Justice Department and FBI finally do an honest investigation of the Clinton email scandal?"
Last month, United States District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that discovery can begin in Hillary Clinton's email scandal. Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides will now be deposed under oath. Senior officials - including Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, and FBI official E.W. Priestap - will now have to answer Judicial Watch's written questions under oath. The court rejected the DOJ and State Department's objections to Judicial Watch's court-ordered discovery plan. (The court, in ordering a discovery plan last month, ruled that the Clinton email system was "one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency.")
Judicial Watch's discovery will seek answers to:
Whether Clinton intentionally attempted to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by using a non-government email system;
whether the State Department's efforts to settle this case beginning in late 2014 amounted to bad faith; and
whether the State Department adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch's FOIA request.

Grassley Refers Planned Parenthood, Fetal Tissue Procurement Organizations to FBI, Justice Dept. for Investigation
WASHINGTON - Following an investigation into the practice of fetal tissue transfers and the federal laws governing the practice, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley is referring several Planned Parenthood affiliates and companies involved in fetal tissue transfers, as well as the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, to the FBI and the Department of Justice for investigation and possible prosecution.
"I don't take lightly making a criminal referral. But, the seeming disregard for the law by these entities has been fueled by decades of utter failure by the Justice Department to enforce it," Grassley said. "And, unless there is a renewed commitment by everyone involved against commercializing the trade in aborted fetal body parts for profit, then the problem is likely to continue."
Grassley's referral follows the completion of a Senate Judiciary Committee majority staff analysis of more than 20,000 pages of documents provided voluntarily by the organizations and companies involved. While the impetus for the investigation was the release of a series of videos regarding transfers of fetal tissue by the Center for Medical Progress, the committee's analysis and findings are based strictly on the documents obtained independently from tissue procurement companies and Planned Parenthood.
The Majority Staff Report concludes:
- Despite the clear legislative history of the 1993 NIH Revitalization Act, the executive branch across multiple administrations has failed to enforce the law's safeguards.
- Since 2010, three companies - Advanced Bioscience Resources, Inc.; StemExpress, LLC; and Novogenix Laboratories, LLC (Novogenix has since gone out of business) - have paid affiliates of Planned Parenthood Federation of America to acquire aborted fetuses, and then sold the fetal tissue to their respective customers at substantially higher prices than their documented costs.
- The Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) initially had a policy in place to ensure its affiliates were complying with the law, but the affiliates failed to follow its fetal tissue reimbursement policy. When PPFA learned in 2011 of this situation, PPFA cancelled the policy rather than exercise oversight to bring the affiliates back into compliance. Thus, PPFA not only turned a blind eye to the affiliates' violations of its fetal tissue policy, but also altered its own oversight procedures enabling those affiliates' practices to continue unimpeded.
- The cost analyses provided by affiliates of Planned Parenthood Federation of America lack sufficient documentation and rely on unreasonably broad and vague claims of costs for "the transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control or storage of" fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood attorneys acknowledge that the affiliates had failed to follow procedures put in place to ensure compliance with the law. In addition, the cost analyses were only performed long after the fact and at the insistence of the committee.
The full report details the long history of the controversy surrounding human fetal tissue research and the bipartisan legislative approach taken to resolve the issue at the time, as well as the subsequent lack of enforcement. As the report explains, "Support for the 1993 NIH Revitalization Act was premised on the idea that the ban on buying or selling fetal tissue would be a safeguard against the development for a market for human fetuses. Tragically, the executive branch has either failed or simply refused to enforce that safeguard. As a result, contrary to the intent of the law, companies have charged thousands of dollars for specimens removed from a single aborted fetus; they have claimed the fees they charged only recovered acceptable costs when they had not, in fact, conducted any analysis of their costs when setting the fees; and their post hoc accounting rationalizations invoked indirect and tenuously-related costs in an attempt to justify their fees."

US Senate Takes Aim at OPEC, but Will It Follow Through
On Thursday, a bipartisan group of four U.S. Senators introduced legislation titled the No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act (NOPEC) that would give the U.S. Department of Justice authority to sue members of the Organization of the Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) for antitrust violations. Similar legislation was passed out of committee in the House of Representatives Thursday and now needs approval by the full House.
The four Senators were Republicans Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Mike Lee of Utah, along with Democrats Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Patrick Leahy of Vermont. Missing from the group were any Senators from big oil-producing states like Texas, North Dakota and Louisiana.
Perhaps that's because the oil patch is not well-pleased with the NOPEC legislation. Earlier in the week, American Petroleum Institute CEO Mike Sommers sent a letter to Senate and House leaders of their respective Judiciary Committees pointing out why the legislation "threatens serious, unintended consequences for the U.S. natural gas and oil industry."

Senator Chuck Grassley said he expects to see special counsel Robert Mueller's final report "within a month." He made the comment during an interview Tuesday, and also suggested he doesn't expect the report to show any evidence of collusion between President Trump and Russia.
Grassley also slammed the counsel for its handling of the home raid and arrest of ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone, claiming it's clear someone within or close to the FBI tipped off CNN about the raid.

Grassley also voiced his support for the report being made public and cited it's cost to taxpayers.
"I don't care what the report says, we've paid $25 million, maybe $35 million, to do it and the public ought to know what their 25 or 35 million bought, and except for national security and privacy of individuals - those would understandably be redacted -everything else I think ought to out," he stated.
This comes after acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said he believes the investigation is close to being completed.

At least four pharma CEOs to testify at Senate drug pricing hearing
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Drugmakers Pfizer Inc, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co and Sanofi SA said on Wednesday that their chief executives plan to testify at a Senate hearing on rising prescription drug prices later this month. They join Merck & Co CEO Ken Frazier, who said on Tuesday that he would testify at the Feb. 26 hearing. Johnson & Johnson said on Wednesday that Jennifer Taubert, its head of global pharmaceuticals, would represent the healthcare conglomerate at the hearing.
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, ranking member of the committee on Monday invited executives from seven pharmaceutical companies to testify at the hearing. The other companies invited to send executives are AbbVie Inc and AstraZeneca Plc . Sanofi CEO Olivier Brandicourt currently serves as chairman of drug industry lobby group PhRMA. Bristol-Myers CEO Giovanni Caforio is the group's chairman-elect. Albert Bourla, who became Pfizer CEO last month, will represent the largest U.S. drugmaker at the hearing.
The United States, which leaves drug pricing to market competition, has higher prices than in other developed countries, where governments directly or indirectly control costs. That makes it by far the world's most lucrative market for manufacturers. Congress has been targeting the pharmaceutical industry over the rising cost of prescription drugs for U.S. consumers, particularly since Democrats took over the House of Representatives in January. Drug pricing is also a top priority of the administration of President Donald Trump, who had made it a central issue of the 2016 presidential campaign. Drugmakers have slowed and limited U.S. price increases as scrutiny on their practices has intensified over the past few years. They nonetheless increased prices on hundreds of drugs in January, including a 6.2 percent increase on the world's top-selling drug - AbbVie's rheumatoid arthritis treatment Humira - and hikes on insulin prices by Sanofi and Novo Nordisk.

Another Prosecutor Leaves Robert Mueller's Team Amid Reports Witch Hunt is Winding Down
Another prosecutor has left Mueller's team and returned to the DOJ as the special counsel investigation reportedly enters its final stages.
Scott Meisler left the special counsel witch hunt in December, a spokesman for the special counsel said, but will remain active on cases related to the Russia witch hunt that he was assigned to before his departure, reported The Hill.
"Scott Meisler concluded his detail with the Special Counsel's Office in December 2018 and returned to the Criminal Division but continues to represent the office on specific pending matters that were assigned to him during his detail," spokesman Peter Carr said.
Scott Meisler was an appellate lawyer in the Justice Department's Criminal Division for several years before joining the Mueller team in the summer of 2017. He specializes in surveillance and fraud cases.
As TGP's Joe Hoft previously reported, Meisler worked on the Manafort and Gates case, though he has not appeared in court hearings.
The Mueller inquisition is reportedly winding down according to Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and Senator Chuck Grassley.
Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said in a presser last Monday that he has been fully briefed on Mueller's investigation and that it is close to being completed.
"The investigation is, I think, close to being completed, and I hope that we can get the report from Mueller as soon as we - as possible," Whitaker added.
Senator Grassley said this week that he expects Mueller's report within a month.

Chuck Grassley says he expects Mueller report 'within a month'
Sen. Chuck Grassley said expects special counsel Robert Mueller will release a report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election "within a month." "Within a month, if we see it," the Iowa Republican said while speaking to radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday.
Grassley, who serves on the Judiciary Committee and was its chairman last term, said he wants as much of the report made public as possible. He also expressed doubt that Mueller would find any collusion or conspiracy between Russia and President Trump's 2016 campaign. "I look at it from this standpoint. I don't care what the report says," Grassley said. "We paid $25 million, maybe $35 million to do it, and the public ought to know what their $25 or $35 million bought. And except for national security and privacy of individuals, those would be understandably redacted, everything else, I think, ought to be out."
Trump said in a CBS interview that aired Sunday it would be up to his attorney general whether the report would be made public. William Barr, Trump's nominee to be attorney general, said at his confirmation hearing last month that Mueller's findings will be confidential but he supports releasing them to the public. "My objective and goal is to get as much as I can of the information to Congress and the public," he said. Neither Mueller or anyone on his team have publicly discussed when the investigation could wrap up and the findings could be released.

The rebate rule is here
QUICK FIX
- The long-awaited HHS rebate rule has arrived, after six months of kicking around the White House budget office - and it's poised to shake up pharmaceutical spending.
- President Donald Trump wants to make abortion a focus of his State of the Union, leaning into controversies in New York and Virginia, POLITICO reports.
- The White House drug office released its first national strategy under Trump, nearly a year behind schedule.
A message from PhRMA: Due to robust market negotiations, retail medicine costs grew just 0.4% in 2017-the slowest rate in 5 years. And a new government study found medicine prices fell 2.8% last year. Learn more at
Driving the Day
THE REBATE RULE IS HERE - Under the administration's proposal, Medicare and Medicaid plan sponsors won't be able to hold onto rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers anymore. HHS instead would make a new kickback exemption for prescription drug discounts offered directly to patients. More from POLITICO's Sarah Karlin-Smith and Sarah Owermohle.
- The likely impact: Seniors' Medicare premiums are likely to go up, anywhere from eight to 22 percent. But HHS says those hikes will be offset by lower out-of-pocket spending on high-cost drugs.
It also means savings for the pharmaceutical industry, because fewer patients will be pushed into the coverage gap, or so-called donut hole, where manufacturers have to pick up most of the tab for their products.
- It's a big deal: HHS has been mulling the plan for months, and it had reportedly caused division within the administration. But Secretary Alex Azar touted the proposal for its "potential to be the most significant change in how Americans' drugs are priced at the pharmacy counter."
"They really swung for the fences on this," Avalere's Chris Sloan told PULSE, saying that the proposal represents a fundamental shift in payment for health plans, PBMs and even for pharmacies.
- What HHS can't do on its own: The administration says it will need Congress to implement similar rules for private insurers. An early vote of confidence came from Sen. Chuck Grassley, head of the Senate Finance Committee, who praised HHS for taking "tough steps."

Senators Reintroduce 'Sarah's Law' On Anniversary Of Sarah Root's Death
It has been three years since Sarah Root was struck and killed in Omaha by Edwin Mejia, who entered the country illegally and was driving drunk.
On Thursday, the anniversary of of her death, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, along with Senators Chuck Grassley, Ben Sasse, Deb Fischer and eleven of their colleagues, re-introduced legislation in honor of Sarah. The legislation, aptly named Sarah's Law, would allow federal law enforcement to detain illegal immigrants criminally charged with killing or seriously injuring another person.
Following his arrest for Motor Vehicle Homicide, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement declined to issue a detainer on Mejia. Subsequently, he posted bond, fled the country and still remains at-large.

(((?McConnell calls for releasing as much of Mueller's report as possible?)))
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that he wants special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation to be as "open" as possible.
"Obviously I would like for as much as possible of the Mueller report to be open. I don't know enough about Justice Department regulations to know what part of that, you know, might make sense not to be disclosed," McConnell told reporters.
"I think it ought to be as fully open and transparent, whatever the recommendation is, as possible," he added.
(((A bipartisan pair of lawmakers, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), introduced legislation on Monday that would require Mueller, or any other Justice Department special counsel, to turn over a report to Congress once the investigation ends or if they are removed or fired.)))
<<An unclassified version of the report would also be publicly released.>>
McConnell was asked about the Grassley-Blumenthal bill but didn't indicate whether or not he supported it.
Currently under Justice Department guidelines, a special counsel sends a confidential report to the attorney general "explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached" during an investigation.
But the Justice Department would likely face intense pressure from both parties to make at least part of Mueller's report public. The Russia probe has been a years-long drama and source of intrigue that has dominated much of the Trump administration.
Trump's attorney general nominee William Barr told members of the Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing earlier this month that it was his "intent" to release as much about Mueller's findings as he can consistent with the law. But he stopped short of pledging to release the report in its entirety.
"My goal will be to provide as much transparency as I can, consistent with the law," Barr told lawmakers. "I can assure you that, where judgments are to be made, I will make those judgments based solely on the law and I will not let personal, political or other improper interests influence my decision."
Democrats have raised concerns that Barr, or Trump, could try to block the report from being released.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the Judiciary Committee chairman, said during a hearing on Tuesday that Barr, if confirmed, would have "discretion" about how Mueller's report is released but said he would "just trust the guy to make good judgements."

Congress starts to go after big pharma
Congress on Tuesday jumped into its first round of hearings on drug prices for the year, vowing to take action on a problem that the president and the public see as a top concern for the country. The Senate Finance Committee and the House Oversight Committee began hearings Tuesday morning aimed at investigating the causes of high drug prices.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who became chairman of the Finance Committee this year, said in opening remarks that tackling high prescription drug costs is a priority for him, and blasted drug companies for agreeing to speak to lawmakers privately but not publicly at the hearing. The committee, he said, would extend an offer to the companies appear again in the future but would be "more insistent next time." "I want to express my displeasure at the lack of cooperation from the pharmaceutical manufacturers recently ," he said. Testimonies came instead from Doug Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum and former head of the Congressional Budget Office; Mark Miller, vice president of healthcare at the Laura and John Arnold Foundation; Dr. Peter Bach, director of Memorial Sloan Kettering Center for Health Policy and Outcomes; and Kathy Sego, the mother of a child who needs insulin to manage Type 1 diabetes. Sego shared that her son, Hunter, once rationed his insulin after learning it would cost $1,700 for the month. The family often stretches its utility bills in order to afford the medication. "I'm heartbroken to know that my son felt he was a financial burden to us," she said. "Money over life is not the choice I want him to make, and I agonize over the idea that this could happen again."
In the Oversight Committee, lawmakers will also hear from a mother, Antroinette Worsham, who has two daughters that depend on insulin; as well as Catherine Alicia Georges, national volunteer president at AARP; Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School; and Gerard Anderson, professor of health policy and management at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. The Trump administration has proposed policies for reducing drug costs, but will need Congress to act on some of them. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar wrote in STAT opinion piece Tuesday that the Trump administration would be unsatisfied with work on prescription drug prices until it saw the list prices fall. One analysis found that average list prices for certain drugs increased by an average of 6 percent at the start of the new year.
Federal lawmakers have introduced bipartisan bills to let people import drugs from Canada, and to end a practice in which brand-name drugs won't provide copies of their drugs to generic companies, limiting their ability to bring cheaper drugs to market. Another bill, authored by Grassley and Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, who is the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, would close a loophole in Medicaid that pharmaceutical companies use to misclassify their drugs to get higher reimbursements. Tuesday's hearings will serve as an early indication as to whether Republicans and Democrats are able to work together on drug prices.
Democrats have said they remain committed to a plan that would let the HHS secretary directly negotiate drug prices in Medicare Part D, which are otherwise negotiated by private plans. Republicans and the Trump administration remain opposed to that approach, but HHS is considering letting plans negotiate another part of Medicare, known as Part B, that would curb prices for drugs administered in a doctor's office rather than at the pharmacy. Last year, the pharmaceutical trade group Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America spent more money lobbying Congress than any other time in history, reaching a record $27.5 million in spending. The lobbying occurred at a time when Republicans controlled all branches of government.

Part 2 of 2 NOTABLE Part 2 of 2 TheDCNF subsequently told Gallagher in a Dec. 12 letter: "We wish to narrow our request to obtain any documents presented by the government that informed the judge of Mr. Cain's status as a whistleblower."
"It seems the Justice Department should be able to address [TheDCNF's] more narrowly tailored request without compromising the investigation," the director for investigations at the nonpartisan government watchdog group the Project on Government Oversight, Nick Schwellenbach, told TheDCNF. "Revealing whether the court was informed of his protected disclosures, on its own, doesn't seem to compromise anything."
And Mark Zaid, an attorney who has defended government whistleblowers in national security cases, told TheDCNF: "It would be interesting to know if the judge was aware this person had invoked whistleblower status."
Kel McClanahan, an attorney who represents government whistleblowers and is the executive director of National Security Counselors, told TheDCNF: "Should the judge have considered that he was a whistleblower and they were looking for whistleblower stuff? Yes."
McClanahan added that government officials could face punishment if they hid information from the magistrate.
"Hiding the ball can be considered sanctionable conduct because there's duty to what's called 'candor to the court,'" he told TheDCNF. He said Judge Gallagher could eventually rule that the Department of Justice "'did not demonstrate complete candor to the court.' It doesn't affect her conduct. It affects the DOJ's conduct."
The National Security Counselors is a Washington, D.C., nonprofit law firm that specializes in national security, information and privacy law. It often represents intelligence community employees and contractors.
Zaid told TheDCNF the FBI should have halted its search after Cain informed the lead agent he was a whistleblower.
"It's common, unfortunately, I see that they don't," Zaid said. "So as a current matter of law and policy, what the FBI did was sadly routine. I had it happen to my clients as well. I find it pretty pathetic."
"From a policy perspective, [Cain] should be applauded for what he was trying to do," he continued.
McClanahan told TheDCNF: "It's a matter of personal preference on the part of the DOJ attorney who argued it and the FBI agents on any given day about how much information to give to a judge. They probably included the bare minimum."
"What they may not have included was information that they have should have provided," he continued. "So they are basically rolling the dice."
Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked FBI Director Christopher Wray in a Nov. 30 letter whether the bureau was "aware at the time of the raid that Mr. Cain had made what appeared to be lawful disclosures to the Inspector General? If so, was the FBI aware that these disclosures were passed to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, per the [whistleblower act]?"
Grassley gave Wray until Dec.12 to respond. The FBI has not yet replied, according to the Iowa Republican's office.
Grassley has been a dogged Senate champion of government whistleblower rights. He announced the establishment of the bipartisan Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus in 2015 to raise awareness of the need for adequate protections against retaliation of Whistleblowers

Grassley to Trump: State Dept. Should Put American Victims of Terrorism ahead of PLO
Jan 24, 2019
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa today expressed astonishment that State Department officials are working to undermine broadly bipartisan legislation signed by President Trump to promote justice for Americans victimized by terrorism. In a letter today to President Trump, Grassley, a former chairman and senior member of the Judiciary Committee and author of the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1992 and its 2018 amendments, described how State Department officials are seeking to ignore the collective will of Congress and the President at the expense of American victims of terrorism.
Both chambers of Congress passed Grassley's Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act without objection last year, which President Trump signed into law. The law makes clear that certain foreign entities benefitting from American tax dollars should be answerable in U.S. courts if they face allegations of supporting acts of terrorism that killed or injured Americans overseas. Despite the broad support for the law, officials from the State Department began lobbying Congress late last year to strip a key provision from the law aimed at helping secure a day in court for American victims seeking justice against the PLO for supporting acts of terrorism.
"You have made protecting the United States and its citizens from terrorism a top priority. I applaud and fully support this effort. Which is why I am surprised that individuals in your administration are deliberately working to undermine core protections that you recently signed into law for U.S. victims of terrorism," Grassley wrote today in a letter to President Trump. "If your administration's anti-terrorism strategy is, as you have described, 'America first,' why is the State Department putting the interests of the PLO ahead of American victims?"
Grassley offered a compromise to delay the law's application to certain U.S.-funded programs with the Palestinian Authority, while protecting and encouraging resolution of U.S. victims' outstanding claims. The State Department, however, rejected the compromise without providing any formal feedback and apparently remains intent on addressing the concerns of others at the expense of U.S. victims.

>>4934566 Bipartisan Group of Senators Launches Whistleblower Protection Caucus
Feb 25, 2015
WASHINGTON - To raise awareness of the need for adequate protections against retaliation for private sector and government employees who call attention to wrongdoing, a bipartisan group of senators today launched the Whistleblower Protection Caucus. The caucus will foster bipartisan discussion on legislative issues affecting the treatment of whistleblowers and serve as a clearinghouse for current information on whistleblower developments of interest in the Senate. It will also coordinate training and consultation for any Senate office in need of assistance in responding to whistleblower disclosures or retaliation allegations.
The founding members of the Whistleblower protection Caucus are senators Chuck Grassley of Iowa (chairman), Ron Wyden of Oregon (vice-chairman), Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Mark Kirk of Illinois, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Barbara Boxer of California, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, and Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
"As a long-time whistleblower advocate, I constantly hear from federal whistleblowers who are fearful of retaliation. Some of them have already been targeted for their actions. Much can be done to improve the environment for whistleblowers and actually encourage more people to step forward when they encounter wrongdoing. This group will help inform and equip our Senate colleagues to respond to the needs of these patriotic citizens who play a vital role in protecting against fraud, waste and misconduct," Grassley said.
"Sunlight is a powerful disinfectant. That's been true for a long time and there is no better proof than whistleblowers who shine a light where others have not. Sadly, instead of being rewarded for speaking out, whistleblowers often face retaliation and serious career threats for doing what's right, what's necessary and for exposing practices that waste tax dollars and even risk public safety. We are all better off when whistleblowers can step forward without fear. That's what this Caucus is designed to foster and it's why I'm pleased to join Sen. Grassley and my colleagues in this effort," Wyden said.
"As the author of the Military Whistleblower Protection Act, I am proud to join Senators Grassley and Wyden as a founding member of the bipartisan Whistleblower Protection Caucus. I look forward to continuing to build on past efforts to protect whistleblowers from harassment and retaliation," Boxer said.
"The size and scope of the federal government have grown far beyond the ability of Congress to provide oversight on its own. Whistleblowers who courageously expose waste, fraud and abuse are performing an incredibly important service to their fellow citizens. They deserve all the protection from retaliation that Congress can provide," Johnson said.
"Too often whistleblowers who simply tell the truth end up risking their jobs, or in terrible circumstances, even their own well-being to shine a light on possible safety or security violations. We must do everything we can to ensure whistleblowers are protected and are not subjected to harassment or retaliation for serving as modern-day Paul Reveres. I thank Senators Grassley and Wyden for their leadership convening this caucus and look forward to working with my colleagues to support whistleblowers who come forward when issues arise," Markey said.
"I look forward to working with my colleagues on initiatives that preserve the liberties of individuals who bring professional and ethical misconduct to light - moral courage that can oftentimes come at great personal cost," Tillis said.

*May 11, 2018 - Senator Grassley reveals name of second FBI agent who interviewed General Flynn*
"Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has just dropped a sunlight grenade into the prosecution of Michael Flynn with a jaw-dropping request letter (full pdf below) to FBI Director Christopher Wray. [Judiciary Link Here]
Within the letter Chairman Grassley outlines a prior briefing from fired FBI Director James Comey to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and contrasts the false presentations of Comey -regarding Michael Flynn- against recently known evidence.
Additionally, Grassley is requesting: the transcription of the phone call(s) intercepted by the FBI between Flynn and Russian Ambassador Kislyak; the FD 302's written by the FBI in their interview with Michael Flynn; and testimony from Special Agent Joe Pientka, likely the second FBI agent who was partnered with Peter Strzok for the Flynn interview.
The name of the second FBI agent was previously unknown, and it's likely Chairman Grassley outed the name for a very specific reason. This is a BIG shot across the bow.
Previously the Justice Department was refusing to provide any information to the committee pertinent to Grassley's requests, citing the ongoing investigation. However, the Senator is now outlining his request against the backdrop of the Judge in the Flynn case demanding the Special Counsel turn over all exculpatory information.
Judge Contreras was presiding judge on the initial guilty plea, then "was recused". Judge Sullivan took over and demanded the DOJ turn over all exculpatory evidence.
It is important to remember - there is a widely held belief that Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe told the FBI agents (Strzok and Pientka) to shape their FBI reports of the interview (FD-302's) to assist a "Flynn lied" narrative.
There is a great deal of debate surrounding the guilty plea as an outcome of a carefully constructed and coordinated plan by FBI and DOJ officials to target Flynn." (Read more: Conservative Treehouse, 5/11/2018)

Senators Again Floating Importing Prescription Drugs
Law enforcement fears policy will exacerbate drug crisis
Sens. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) and Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) are testing the waters of the 116th Congress for support of importing drugs from Canada, an effort to combat exploding prescription costs. But the pair's proposal is likely to face suspicion from Republicans, as well as strong public opposition from law enforcement, worried about how it might unwittingly introduce more deadly fentanyl into the United States.
The Safe and Affordable Drugs from Canada Act (SADCA), introduced by Grassley and Klobuchar, would permit individuals to legally fill prescriptions at Canadian pharmacies assuming that the drug they are seeking is not a controlled or otherwise dangerous substance. This is not Klobuchar's first partnership with a Republican on the issue; in 2017, she joined with then-Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) to try to pass the SADCA as part of the Senate budget bill. Grassley, who the Hill reports has long been a proponent of prescription drug importation, argued that his and Klobuchar's proposal would help families unable to afford sky-high American drug prices. "For decades, safe and affordable prescription drugs have been for sale just across the border, but legally out of reach for American families," Grassley said at the time of the SADCA's release. "It's long past time for Congress to help the millions of Americans who struggle to pay exorbitant prices for medication."
The price of prescription drugs has risen steadily over the past two decades-healthcare consultancy Rx Saving Solutions indicated that 250 drugs saw an average price increase of 6.3 percent over last year alone. Even life-saving, much-used drugs like insulin have seen huge price surges in recent years. A longstanding, popular proposal for addressing this problem has been to make it legal for Americans to import drugs from foreign countries for personal use. Current regulation, enforced by both the Food and Drug Administration and the Drug Enforcement Administration, prohibits the practice, out of an abundance of caution concerning the competency of other nations' drug safety authorities, and fears of importation becoming a route for controlled substance trafficking. Were importation to be legalized, however, Americans could take advantage of price differences between the United States and foreign countries-including, critically, Canada. Prescription drug prices are lower in America's northern neighbor primarily because a government board sets them; this reality allows cross-border arbitrage, a fact that some 8 percent of Americans admit to having taken advantage of. Grassley and Klobuchar's bill is not the only one up for discussion in this Congress.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) has his own, more sweeping proposal-cosponsored by 2020 contenders Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (Calif.), and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.). Sanders's Affordable and Safe Prescription Drug Importation Act would permit importation from not only Canada, but also other "major countries." Republican senators have already expressed skittishness about even Grassley's more-narrow proposal. Sen. Mike Rounds (R., S.D.), speaking to the Hill, said that he does not necessarily trust other nations' lower safety standards. "Unless we've got a case we're able to look back through and make sure we've got the same safeguards coming from there, I'd be a little bit leery," Rounds said. Rounds's caution is moderate compared to the objections of the National Sheriffs Association, a law enforcement organization which also opposed the Klobuchar-McCain proposal in 2017.

Taibbi: Has The Government Legalized Secret Defense Spending?
While a noisy Supreme Court fight captivated America last fall, an obscure federal accounting body quietly approved a system of classified money-moving…
October 4th, 2018, was a busy news day. The only thing that did not make the news was an announcement by a little-known government body called the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board - FASAB - that essentially legalized secret national security spending. The new guidance, "SFFAS 56 - CLASSIFIED ACTIVITIES" permits government agencies to "modify" public financial statements and move expenditures from one line item to another. It also expressly allows federal agencies to refrain from telling taxpayers if and when public financial statements have been altered. The FASAB ruling adds a new and confusing wrinkle to what little we know about levels of spending in the intelligence community. Officially, the fiscal year 2019 appropriation is $81.1 billion, which breaks down to $59.9 billion for the National Intelligence Program, along with $21.2 billion for the Military Intelligence Program.
The story of openly secret budgets really began in 1949, with the passage of the Central Intelligence Agency Act. The law exempted the newly christened spy agency from public financial disclosure. The CIA Act was a radical departure from the Constitution, which is clear about public accounting (emphasis mine): "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."
The CIA Act created a blunt constitutional carve-out. "The sums made available to the Agency may be expended without regard to the provisions of law and regulations relating to the expenditure of Government funds," the law read. "For objects of a confidential, extraordinary, or emergency nature, such expenditures to be accounted for solely on the certificate of the Director..." In other words, while other government agencies had to account for their expenses, the word of the CIA director was good enough when it came to what they'd spent and why. In a few accidental disclosures in the Fifties, CIA expenses appeared as Department of Defense line items, despite the fact that the CIA is not a Defense agency.
On November 15th, 2018, however, the Department of Defense failed its first audit, which was conducted by 1,200 auditors. This was after 26 years of what Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) called "hard-core foot-dragging. We failed the audit, but we never expected to pass it," Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan said at the time. That the Pentagon failed its audit was no surprise. There had already been significant hints that even the supposedly legal version of defense budgeting was an indecipherable morass.
On the day before 9/11, for instance, then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced that, according to some estimates, "we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions." The following day's events obviously distracted the media from that shock announcement. In 2015, the Office of the Inspector General found the Army alone - which had a budget of $122 billion that year - had $6.5 trillion in "yearend adjustments" they could not "adequately support." Skidmore recalls being dumbfounded by the numbers. Outside auditors found that just one Pentagon outfit, the Defense Logistics Agency, could not account for over $800 million in construction transactions. Despite these and other objections, on October 4th of last year, FASAB issued a news release about SFFAS 56. The text of the new rule strongly resembled the original proposal. In plain English, the new guidance allowed federal agencies to "modify" public financial statements, with essentially a two-book system. Public statements would at best be unreliable, while the real books would be audited in "classified environment[s]" by certain designated officials.
One thing is certain: the taxpayer who opens up a federal financial statement expecting to find correct numbers will no longer be sure of what he or she is reading. Bluntly put, line items in public federal financial statements may now legally be, for lack of a better word - wrong. Given the government's track record in failing to force transparency out of the Pentagon, it's hard to have a lot of confidence answers will be forthcoming. "The White House and Congress just opened a pipeline into the back of the US Treasury," Catherine Austin Fitts wrote, "and announced to every private army, mercenary and thug in the world that we are open for business.

Drug Companies Used Shortages, Recalls To Hike Prices As Much As 1,137 Percent, Report Finds
Drug companies raised prices on approximately one-third of the nearly 120 drugs classified as currently or recently in shortage after the shortages began, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Friday. Many of the drugs seeing big price hikes are low-cost prescription medicines that have been on the markets for years, like valsartan. It's a blood pressure medication available through multiple sellers. After recalls of valsartan products from at least three companies this summer, other companies raised prices on their valsartan products by as much as 469 percent, according to The WSJ. Drug companies have already raised prices on hundreds of drugs in 2019, and high drug prices are a top concern for Americans. Average prices went up about 14 percent for drugs in shortages lasting more than 18 months and 6 percent during shortages lasting less than six months, according to a Value in Health study cited by The WSJ.
Indian drug company Alembic Pharmaceuticals Ltd. raised prices on some of its valsartan-based products by 340 to 469 percent in July, according to The WSJ. An American company also raised prices after the recall. AmerisourceBergen Corp.'s American Health Packaging unit in Columbus, Ohio, jacked up prices by up to 63 percent in August. The price increases were passed down to individual pharmacies. The WSJ reported: But the average price that U.S. community retail pharmacies pay for valsartan tablets has also risen-to 31 cents a tablet from 10 cents in July, according to a Wall Street Journal review of data from a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services survey of pharmacies.
Alembic has defended its price increases. "One of our roles is to create a nimble supply chain that can react quickly to market opportunities," Alembic managing director Pranav Amin said according to an October conference call transcript cited by The WSJ. "So we could respond very fast to the valsartan opportunity, and we could ramp up our supplies and we could get on the market at a high price." "More limited supply meeting inelastic demand should give a producer pricing leverage should they choose to exert it," Rena Conti, associate professor of markets, public policy and law at Boston University's Questrom School of Business, told The WSJ. These price hikes, like the 1,137 percent increase on muscle relaxant methocarbamol, happen even though buyers like pharmacies have also consolidated and gained negotiating power over companies manufacturing these less lucrative, older prescription drugs, according to The WSJ.
The WSJ's review comes about a week after new Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley revealed his three-part initial plan to cut drug prices Jan. 9. The proposed legislation would aim to increase drug industry competition and include a ban on brand drugs engaging in "pay for delay." It's a tactic where a brand drug company pays a generic manufacturer to withhold a product that would compete with the brand drug for market share. The WSJ's report was published about a week after a Jan. 7 study that undercut the drug industry's claim that price increases are primarily due to medical innovation. The WSJ's story also came about a month after a federal judge raised the stakes in an illegal price-fixing investigation of 16 drug companies making roughly 300 generic medications. The judge opened up more than one million emails, text messages and other communications to be shared among the plaintiffs in November. The WSJ based its analysis on pricing data provided by RELX Group's Elsevier health-information unit.

China injects US$ 83bn to the financial system hoping to prop a declining economy
Thursday, January 17th 2019 - 09:08 UTC
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) said Wednesday's injection was aimed at ensuring there are ample funds in the financial system
China's central bank injected a record US$ 83 billion into the country's financial system on Wednesday, seeking to avoid a cash crunch that would put further pressure on the weakening economy. China's policymakers are pledging to step up stimulus measures this year and do more to protect jobs as economic growth cools to 28-year lows.
But a raft of measures last year from big rail projects to tax cuts seem to have had little impact so far, with recent data suggesting activity is cooling more quickly than expected.
Wednesday's open-market operation, the bank's largest net single-day injection on record, came a day after China's state planner, central bank and finance ministry all offered reassurances to investors, signaling more spending and other types of policy support.
But shockingly weak December trade data released earlier this week, along with shrinking factory activity, are stirring speculation over whether more rapid and aggressive policy measures are needed to turn the world's second-largest economy around.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) said Wednesday's injection was aimed at ensuring there are ample funds in the financial system, which is facing strains as tax payments peak in mid-January, and as demand for cash picks up ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays starting in early February.
"The banking system's overall liquidity is falling rapidly," it said in a statement.
While sizable injections are common this time of year ahead of the long holidays, the addition was much heftier than usual and follows a large cut in banks' reserve ratios announced this month, which will free up a total of US$116 billion for new bank lending.
The first stage, a 50-basis-point cut, came into effect on Tuesday. An equal-sized cut is scheduled for Jan. 25.
The move also came a day after money supply data showed several of China's key credit gauges continue to languish around record lows, despite government efforts to channel more funds to cash-starved companies and lower their financing costs.
While authorities have urged banks to keep lending to struggling firms and even dangled incentives, banks are wary of bad loans after a long regulatory crackdown on riskier lending.
Many businesses, facing slowing sales, are in no mood to make the fresh investments that Beijing is counting on. New medium- and long-term corporate loans last month fell to less than half of average December levels, Nomura noted.
Darkening the picture further, hopes are dimming once again that China will be able to reach a trade deal with the United States in current negotiations. U.S. tariffs have increasingly weighed on Chinese exports in recent months, disrupting its supply chains and dragging down business and consumer confidence.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer did not see any progress made on structural issues during U.S. talks with China last week, Republican U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley said on Tuesday.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/423602-senate-sets-barrs-confirmation-hearing
The Senate Judiciary Committee announced on Wednesday that it will hold a two-day confirmation hearing for William Barr's attorney general nomination this month.
The hearing, according to a release from outgoing Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and incoming Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will take place on January 15 and 16.
Barr was nominated last month to succeed former Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who was ousted in November, as the top Justice Department official. Matt Whitaker has been filling the post in an acting capacity.
Barr previously served in the role during the George H.W. Bush administration.
But his current nomination has run into controversy because of his criticism of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Barr earlier last year wrote in an unsolicited memo that the probe is based on a "fatally misconceived" theory and would do "lasting damage" to the presidency.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) immediately called on Trump to drop Barr.
But nominations only need a simple majority in the Senate. With Republicans expanding their majority to 53 seats, Democrats will need to win over four GOP senators and keep their own caucus united if they want to sink Barr's nomination.
Several Republicans, including Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), have signaled they want assurances on Mueller or expressed unrelated reservations about Barr.

Along with these job losses, U.S. wages fell due to the competition with cheap Chinese labor, which has cost a typical U.S. household with two wage-earners around $2,500 per year.
The Commerce Department reported earlier this month that our November 2015 trade deficit with China was $29.8 billion. That's $29.8 billion in one month!

Judiciary Committee Sets Hearing Date for AG Nominee William Barr
According to his questionnaire, Barr plans to follow Justice Department protocol when addressing potential conflicts of interest.
William Barr.
William Barr, President Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney general, is set to go before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a confirmation hearing Jan. 15.
Outgoing Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and his likely successor, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), announced the hearing date Wednesday, noting that confirmation hearings for the past five attorneys general have last two days each.
"Mr. Barr will receive the same fair and thorough vetting process as the last five nominees to be attorney general," the statement announcing the hearing said.
If confirmed, Barr would replace acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, whose appointment to head the Justice Department in the interim has generated controversy and litigation challenges. Barr is likely to face questions about his June memo to Justice Department officials criticizing special counsel Robert Mueller III's possible investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice. Barr addressed the letter as a "former official" to U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Steven Engel, a former Dechert partner who now heads DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, a top Democrat on the committee, described the memo in a statement last month as "very troubling."
According to the questionnaire Barr completed for the committee, the nominee plans to follow Justice Department protocol when addressing potential conflicts of interest.
"In the event of a potential conflict of interest, l will consult with the appropriate Department of Justice ethics officials and act consistent with governing regulations," Barr wrote.
Barr, who has served as of counsel at Kirkland & Ellis since 2017, previously served as U.S. attorney general under President George H.W. Bush. He has held a variety of positions in the private sector since he left the Justice Department in the early '90s.
According to the questionnaire, Barr has represented Caterpillar Inc. in connection with a federal grand jury investigation since 2017. He told the committee he rejoined Kirkland, a firm where he served a prior stint as of counsel in 2009, on a nonexclusive basis to accept the engagement. Barr also disclosed that he has been hired recently by Cerberus Capital Management "to advise on regulatory aspects of multiple potential private equity investments."

Grassley requests a briefing on requesting Trump's tax returns
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he's planning to receive a briefing from Congress's nonpartisan tax scorekeepers on the process of requesting tax returns from the Treasury Department, as House Democrats are planning to use the process to try to obtain President Trump's returns.
"Don't interpret this as looking into it, but I'm going to have a briefing by Joint Tax on what all this involves before I answer any questions," Grassley said in a briefing with reporters Wednesday, referencing the Joint Committee on Taxation.
The briefing is "going to be set up pretty soon," Grassley added.
Under the federal tax code, the chairmen of Congress's tax committees can request tax returns from Treasury and review them in a closed session. The committees could then vote to release a report to the full House or Senate, making some or all of the returns public.
Democrats have been frustrated that Trump is the first president in decades to refuse to release his tax returns, and want to examine them to learn about any potential conflicts of interest. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) is expected to request Trump's tax returns from Treasury, though Democrats are bracing for resistance by the administration to turn over the documents.
Grassley, as chairman of the Senate's tax-writing committee, also has the ability to request tax returns.
He has the power, if he wants to use it, to also request Trump's tax returns so that Democrats don't completely control the analysis of the documents. He also could also respond to a Democratic request for Trump's tax returns by requesting the tax returns of Democratic politicians.

Were Events Surrounding Flynn's Moscow Visit Intentionally Misframed?
(1 of 2)
Gen. Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, was interviewed on Jan. 24, 2017, by FBI agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka about two December 2016 conversations that Flynn had with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak. Details of the phone conversation had leaked to the media. Flynn ultimately pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI regarding his conversations with Kislyak. It remains unknown to this day who leaked Flynn's classified call-a far more serious felony violation.
The Washington Post reported in January 2017 that the FBI had found no evidence of wrongdoing in Flynn's actual call with the Russian ambassador. The call, and the matters discussed in it, broke no laws. Why Flynn would lie to the FBI agents about a perfectly legal call isn't immediately clear. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) noted in a May 15, 2018, letter that "Director Comey specifically told us during that briefing that the FBI agents who interviewed Lt. General Michael Flynn, 'saw nothing that led them to believe [he was] lying.' Our own Committee staff notes indicate that Mr. Comey said the 'agents saw no change in his demeanor or tone that would say he was being untruthful.'"Flynn has been portrayed in the media as being suspiciously close to Russia; frequently cited as evidence is a dinner in Moscow that occurred in late 2015.
On Dec. 10, 2015, Flynn attended a dinner in Moscow to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Russian television network RT. Flynn, who was seated next to Russian President Vladimir Putin for the culminating dinner, was also interviewed on national security matters by an RT correspondent. Flynn's speaker's bureau, Leading Authorities Inc., was paid $45,000 for the event and Flynn received $33,000 of the total amount. Seated at the same table with Flynn was Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate in the 2016 election. By all accounts, including Stein's, Flynn and Putin didn't engage in any real conversation. At the time, Flynn's trip didn't garner significant attention. But it would later be used by media and the Clinton campaign to push the Russian collusion narrative.
It was reported that Flynn joined the Trump campaign in late February 2016 as an informal adviser on foreign policy matters-approximately two months after his dinner in Moscow-although his actual start date isn't entirely clear. Flynn's trip to Russia was first brought to larger attention on July 18, 2016, during a live interview at the Republican National Convention with Yahoo News reporter Michael Isikoff.

Four-year Senate investigation finds US Marshals Service plagued with corruption
Wasteful spending. Favoritism and nepotism. Sexual harassment. These were a few of the findings of a four-year Senate investigation into the U.S. Marshals Service, which concluded Thursday. A newly released report has revealed the Justice Department agency was rife with misconduct and abuse of authority, and at high levels. The Senate Judiciary Committee's report, that included more than 100 interviews with current and former agency employees, details a long list of serious offenses that touched every part of internal affairs.
Those offenses include "wasteful spending on lavish office furnishings, contracts and costly, but rarely-used facilities; inappropriate hiring practices, such as favoritism and nepotism; the use of subordinates to fill out applications for senior executive service positions; and the use of paid and unpaid leave to allow for full retirement benefits of individuals facing substantiated claims of misconduct," according to the memo. Officials also failed to adequately punish people, including sexual harassment, prostitute solicitations, and in one case in which an employee forged a judge's signature on hundreds of subpoenas.

Memo on Judiciary Committee Investigations into USMS (430 pages here, time to dig)
https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-12-21%20Memo%20on%20Judiciary%20Committee%20Investigations%20into%20USMS.pdf
Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Thursday the initial concerns that triggered the investigation were "only the tip of the iceberg." "As our investigation progressed, we found a culture of mismanagement, abuse of authority and lax accountability that started clear at the top and has set a terrible standard for other employees across the agency. Poor leadership and pervasive misconduct cripples morale and corrodes trust of employees tasked with apprehending criminals and keeping communities safe. This culture must change," Grassley said in a statement.
In addition, some employees who spoke with Senate investigators lied and whistleblowers were punished for speaking up when rules were broken. Grassley's committee said new leadership that came in during the investigation has begun to turn around that culture, but he also made recommendations for additional reforms. Those changes include implementing better training for how to report concerns, improving how employees are paid when going through misconduct investigations, and improving oversight cooperation with Congress.

Exculpatory Russia evidence about Mike Flynn that US intel kept secret

"Sometimes public silence can be deafening or, for that matter, misleading.
For nearly two years now, the intelligence community has kept secret evidence in the Russia collusion case that directly undercuts the portrayal of retired Army general and former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn as a Russian stooge.
That silence was maintained even when former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates publicly claimed Flynn was possibly "compromised" by Moscow.

And when a Democratic senator, Al Franken of Minnesota, suggested the former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) chief posed a "danger to this republic."
And even when some media outlets opined about whether Flynn's contacts with Russia were treasonous.
Yes, the Pentagon did give a classified briefing to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) in May 2017, but then it declined the senator's impassioned plea three months later to make some of that briefing information public.
"It appears the public release of this information would not pose any ongoing risk to national security. Moreover, the declassification would be in the public interest, and is in the interest of fairness to Lt. Gen. Flynn," Grassley wrote in August 2017.""

It just confirms there are people behind the scenes helping to get this information out to the public. I decided to listen again and transcribe for you. Here is the link if you want to listen to the whole podcast. This transcribed part is at 74:05.

I don't know if I've talked about this on air much but, Greg, one time - it was shortly after I started working on these stories with Sara - a couple of people showed up at my house about 11 o'clock at night - I'd just gotten off Hannity's TV show. And they showed up - they were sitting at my mailbox when I pulled into my driveway. They came up, they never identified themselves, to this day I don't know who they are, but this is what they told me.
"We watched some of your early reporting on FISA abuses and unmasking. We want to tell you something."
And this was waaay before we knew anything. This was long before we even heard Christopher Steele's name.
"The US Intelligence Community was used for political opposition research, and you need to get to the bottom of it."
That's all they told me. And
"Just keep digging and you'll find out."
And I look back at that moment now, and how much we've learned because of people like Devin Nunes and Mark Meadows and Chuck Grassley and Jim Jordan. There was a major corruption of our career intelligence apparatus for political purposes, and its only because of oversight - the same oversight that Comey sn…uh…uh…wrinkles his nose at now - that we've learned at least some of the truth. I feel there's a lot more truth that we don't know yet.

John Solomon: Exculpatory Russia evidence about Mike Flynn that US intel kept secret
Sometimes public silence can be deafening or, for that matter, misleading.
For nearly two years now, the intelligence community has kept secret evidence in the Russia collusion case that directly undercuts the portrayal of retired Army general and former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn as a Russian stooge.
That silence was maintained even when former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates publicly claimed Flynn was possibly "compromised" by Moscow.
And when a Democratic senator, Al Franken of Minnesota, suggested the former Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) chief posed a "danger to this republic."
And even when some media outlets opined about whether Flynn's contacts with Russia were treasonous.
Yes, the Pentagon did give a classified briefing to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) in May 2017, but then it declined the senator's impassioned plea three months later to make some of that briefing information public.
"It appears the public release of this information would not pose any ongoing risk to national security. Moreover, the declassification would be in the public interest, and is in the interest of fairness to Lt. Gen. Flynn," Grassley wrote in August 2017.
Were the information Grassley requested made public, America would have learned this, according to my sources:
Before Flynn made his infamous December 2015 trip to Moscow - as a retired general and then-adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign - he alerted his former employer, the DIA.
He then attended a "defensive" or "protective" briefing before he ever sat alongside Vladimir Putin at the Russia Today (RT) dinner, or before he talked with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The briefing educated and sensitized Flynn to possible efforts by his Russian host to compromise the former high-ranking defense official and prepared him for conversations in which he could potentially extract intelligence for U.S. agencies such as the DIA.

Exculpatory Russia evidence about Mike Flynn that US intel kept secret

"It appears the public release of this information would not pose any ongoing risk to national security. Moreover, the declassification would be in the public interest, and is in the interest of fairness to Lt. Gen. Flynn," Grassley wrote in August 2017.
Were the information Grassley requested made public, America would have learned this, according to my sources:

He then attended a "defensive" or "protective" briefing before he ever sat alongside Vladimir Putin at the Russia Today (RT) dinner, or before he talked with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The briefing educated and sensitized Flynn to possible efforts by his Russian host to compromise the former high-ranking defense official and prepared him for conversations in which he could potentially extract intelligence for U.S. agencies such as the DIA.
When Flynn returned from Moscow, he spent time briefing intelligence officials on what he learned during the Moscow contacts. Between two and nine intelligence officials attended the various meetings with Flynn about the RT event, and the information was moderately useful, about what one would expect from a public event, according to my sources.
DIA spokesman James Kudla on Wednesday declined comment about Flynn.
Rather than a diplomatic embarrassment bordering on treason, Flynn's conduct at the RT event provided some modest benefit to the U.S. intelligence community, something that many former military and intelligence officers continue to offer their country after retirement when they keep security clearances.
It's important to wind back many months to where the Russia collusion narrative started and the media frenzy-driven suggestion that Flynn may have been on a mission to compromise America's security and endanger this great republic when he visited Moscow.
Would the central character in a Russian election hijack plot actually self-disclose his trip in advance? And then sit through a briefing on how to avoid being compromised by his foreign hosts? And then come back to America and be debriefed by U.S intelligence officers about who and what he saw?
And would a prosecutor recommend little or no prison time for a former general if that former military leader truly had compromised national security?
Highly unlikely.
The gap between the original portrayal of Flynn's activities and the actual facts likely is one of the reasons a prosecutor working for special counsel Robert Mueller pointedly rejected a judge's suggestion at Flynn's aborted sentencing last month that the general might have engaged in treason.
There's no sugar-coating the mistakes Flynn did make. By his own admission, he misled the FBI and Vice President Mike Pence about the fact that sanctions did come up in a December 2016 conversation with Kislyak, then Moscow's ambassador to the United States. He didn't file proper foreign-lobbying paperwork for money he received from Turkish sources. And he likely did not file the proper paperwork disclosing or seeking permission for the $45,000 in speaking and travel fees he got for the RT event…

Exculpatory Russia evidence about Mike Flynn that US intel kept secret

double headfake and why we needed the senate. Huber is going to turn heal so that when the investigation is reported it appears impartial.
While the Senate Judiciary Committee told RCI it has not received "any updates" from Huber's office or Justice about his work, it plans to continue its oversight as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) takes the gavel from longtime Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) in January.
"There's no imminent plan for Huber to testify," said committee spokesman George Hartmann. "But Sens. Grassley and Graham have worked closely on oversight issues over the last two years, and I wouldn't expect either of them to forget about it."

>Toensing noted an inherent conflict in Huber reporting his findings to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who signed one of the warrant renewals for wiretapping Page. Others note that Huber may have a local conflict in the Uranium One matter, since the Russian deal involved uranium mining interests located in his state. "Rod signed one of the FISA applications and is potentially a co-conspirator in the FISA abuse. Why would Huber report anything back to him that's embarrassing on the FISA front? It makes no sense," she said. "The whole thing is corrupt and cries out for a special counsel."
Again, Toensign is a famefag
AND HUBER NOW REPORTS TO WHITAKER, that FACT is YUGE
And of course will then report to the new AG Barr who is a hawk on HRC, FISA, the 2016 election, Comey, U1, CF, etc etc... etc
>Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton agreed, arguing the FBI and Justice can't be expected to investigate themselves, even with an outside-the-Beltway prosecutor leading the investigation. "Huber was a distraction to ease pressure for a second special counsel," he said, adding that Sessions used sleight of hand in crafting his letter to Congress. Technically, he explained, Huber had a mandate from Sessions only to investigate the investigations, not the underlying allegations. "Huber wasn't tapped to investigate anything," Fitton said. "He was tasked to investigate whether to investigate."
Read the judicial watch link at the beginning, this was his opinion in APRIL
And no one else thinks this, in the letters establishing Huber it legitimately says he has the power to PROSECUTE after investigating
This is nothing new
>Fitton said he intends to FOIA Justice for the "regular updates" that Sessions said he was getting from Huber.
That'd be huge actually, read Q's crumbs on Sessions/Huber meetings
>Once Democrats take back control of the House, they will have little interest in pressuring Huber to keep them in the loop on what are Obama-era scandals. That leaves the Senate. While the Senate Judiciary Committee told RCI it has not received "any updates" from Huber's office or Justice about his work, it plans to continue its oversight as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) takes the gavel from longtime Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) in January. "There's no imminent plan for Huber to testify," said committee spokesman George Hartmann. "But Sens. Grassley and Graham have worked closely on oversight issues over the last two years, and I wouldn't expect either of them to forget about it."
This is true, read the crumbs on THE SENATE WAS THE KEY
HOUSE >>> SENATE
The point is NO ONE WILL GET 'updates' FROM HUBER, THIS IS A SERIOUS, LEGITIMATE, ONGOING, AND IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION THAT HAS TO BE BY THE BOOK AND BY THE LAW

In August of 2017, Sen. Chuck Grassley sent a letter to Secretary of Defense James Mattis and the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Lt. Gen. Vincent R. Stewart, in which he revealed that his Senate Judiciary Committee had been shown some highly classified documents by current DIA personnel back on May 25.
In his letter, Grassley specifically requested that Mattis and Stewart declassify at least one particular piece of information in these documents out of fairness to Flynn. He wrote:
"Based on representations made by the DIA personnel, it appears the public release of this information would not pose any ongoing risk to national security. Moreover, the declassification would be in the public interest, and is in the interest of fairness to Lt. General Flynn."

Funny how that particular number just keeps on popping up.
Who are the other 16? Are they going to tie into each other? Curious that they said yesterday they would release it today, and today they said they would release it by end of year.
Super curious now. Maybe that was the intent. Was this a message to us by the house judicial? Who is the chairman? Chuck Grassley?
My theory is that Chuck Grassley is sending a message to us to dig on these transcripts, the delay was done to file in conjunction with the 16 other witnesses (17 total) and to bring attention to it.

Mueller's delay tactics have been going on for too long. On Feb. 15, 2017, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) submitted a letter to Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Former FBI Director James Comey requesting transcripts of Flynn's call with the Russian ambassador, along with the FBI's 302 report. Sure enough, Mueller has not cooperated with the chairman's requests.
In her column on The Daily Caller, Former Federal Prosecutor Sidney Powell said, "Mueller has shown abject contempt for the wrong court. Judge Sullivan is a real judge who believes in the rule of law and has the integrity to enforce it equally."
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to agents about his phone conversation with the Russian ambassador. Flynn will appear in DC Federal Court on Tuesday to receive his sentencing. The prosecution team has recommended no prison time. Ahead of the sentencing, President Trump tweeted early Tuesday his support for Flynn.

>The official said Ms. Rice had requested the unmasking of at least one transition official-not Mr. Flynn-who was part of multiple foreign conversations that weren't related to Russia.
So who unmasked Flynn? Clapper said he made one unmasking request but said he could not comment further

>Sen. Chuck Grassley asked Clapper and Sally Yates if they had ever requested the unmasking of Trump, his associates, or members of Congress.
>Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, hesitated before answering.
>"Yes, in one case I did," he admitted, but refused to give any more details.
>"I cannot discuss any further than that," Clapper said.
>Yates said she never requested unmasking of Trump, his associates or members of Congress.
The other person who has come up in the unmasking story is Samantha Powers
>Samantha Power sought to unmask Americans on almost daily basis (FoxNews)
https://archive.fo/FxKqx
>In a July 27 letter to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said the committee had learned "that one official, whose position had no apparent intelligence-related function, made hundreds of unmasking requests during the final year of the Obama Administration."
(https://archive.fo/4UUiz)
>The "official" is widely reported to be Power.
>During a public congressional hearing earlier this year, Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina pressed former CIA director John Brennan on unmasking, without mentioning Power by name.
>Gowdy: Do you recall any U.S. ambassadors asking that names be unmasked?
>Brennan: I don't know. Maybe it's ringing a vague bell but I'm not – I could not answer with any confidence.
>Gowdy continued, asking: On either January 19 or up till noon on January 20, did you make any unmasking requests?
>Brennan: I do not believe I did.
>Gowdy: So you did not make any requests on the last day that you were employed?
>Brennan: No, I was not in the agency on the last day I was employed.
>Brennan later corrected the record, confirming he was at CIA headquarters on January 20. "I went there to collect some final personal materials as well as to pay my last respects to a memorial wall. But I was there for a brief period of time and just to take care of some final – final things that were important to me," Brennan said.
>Previous U.N. ambassadors have made unmasking requests, but Fox News was told they number in the low double digits.
It appears Powers is the fall girl.
>Trey Gowdy: Samantha Power testified that intel officials made 'unmasking' requests in her name (WashEx)
https://archive.fo/72oUe
>Tuesday evening, Gowdy told Fox News that Power told his committee that she was not the official requesting that unmasking in every case.
>"I think if she were on your show, she would say those requests to unmask may have been attributed to her, but they greatly exceed by an exponential factor the requests she actually made," Gowdy said.
>"So, that's her testimony, and she was pretty emphatic in it," he added. "The intelligence community has assigned this number of requests to her. Her perspective, her testimony is, they may be under my name, but I did not make those requests."
>"So, we've got to get tot he bottom of that," Gowdy said. "If there is someone else making requests on behalf of a principal in the intelligence community, we need to know that because we're getting ready to reauthorize a program that's really important to the country, but also has a masking component to it."
>Gowdy was referring to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Pressure is building on Congress to reauthorize that language, but Republicans are wary of doing so, in part because of the suspicion that the Obama administration unfairly unmasked people, including those on President Trump's transition team.

FBI misses deadline to provide docs to Judiciary Committee probing whistleblower raid
The Justice Department and FBI have missed a Wednesday deadline to provide information about the government's mysterious raid on a former FBI contractor-turned-whistleblower's home last month.
Sixteen FBI agents on Nov. 19 raided the home of Dennis Nathan Cain, who reportedly gave the Justice Department's Inspector General (IG) documents related to the Uranium One controversy and potential wrongdoing by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The documents in question allegedly showed that federal officials failed to investigate possible criminal activity related to Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and Rosatom, a Russian nuclear company. Its subsidiary purchased Canadian mining company Uranium One Uranium One in 2013.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, whose panel has oversight of the Justice Department, penned a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Justice Department IG General Michael Horowitz, requesting information on the justification for the raid. Grassley gave Wray and Horowitz until Dec. 12 to respond to his request.
That deadline has come and gone, and neither the FBI nor DOJ has produced any documents or response.
"We have not yet received answers to the chairman's questions on this matter," a Judiciary Commitee spokesperson told Fox News late Thursday.
The FBI consistently has refused Fox News' request for comment on the whistleblower raid and the Judiciary Committee's requests. On Thursday, an FBI spokesperson told Fox News the agency would respond only to inquiries from the entity that requested the documents – in this case, the Judiciary Committee.

FBI Agent at Mike Flynn Interrogation Is Ready to Testify Against McCabe, Strzok and Comey!
On Friday May 11, 2018, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein stating Comey testified the FBI didn't think General Flynn lied. Grassley also revealed Joe Pientka was the second FBI agent who joined Peter Strzok on January 24th, 2017 in an ambush style interview to take down General Flynn.
The recently unredacted portion of the House Intel report revealed Comey testified to House Intel members the FBI agents who ambushed Flynn did not detect any deception. The report also revealed the illegal leak of Flynn's phone call with Kislyak is what allowed the FBI/DOJ to keep a counterintel operation open on General Flynn.

HUBER IS THE LEAD PROSECUTOR, AND THERE IS ANOTHER
PROSECUTORS ANONS, FROM MARCH 2018:
Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed Thursday a federal prosecutor was evaluating certain issues involving the FBI, the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One, but said he would not appoint a second special counsel at this point.
In a letter directed to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, Sessions revealed that he asked U.S. Attorney John Huber to lead the evaluation into issues raised by the committees in recent months.
"I write in response to recent letters requesting the appointment of a Special Counsel to review certain prosecutorial and investigative determinations made by the Department of Justice in 2016 and 2017. I take the concerns you raise seriously," Sessions wrote, noting how important it was that the American people and Congress had "confidence" in the Justice Department.
"While we continue to believe the appointment of a second Special Counsel is necessary, this is a step in the right direction. We expect that U.S. Attorney Huber, given his reputation, will conduct an independent and thorough investigation. Such an investigation is critical to restoring the reputation of both the Bureau and DOJ in the eyes of the American people," Goodlatte and Gowdy responded in a statement.
Sessions referenced a November 2017 letter sent by Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd, first reported by Fox News, directing senior federal prosecutors to evaluate "certain issues" requested by congressional Republicans, involving the sale of Uranium One and alleged unlawful dealings related to the Clinton Foundation.
On Nov. 13, 2017, Boyd wrote: "These senior prosecutors will report directly to the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General [Rod Rosenstein], as appropriate, and will make recommendations as to whether any matters not currently under investigation should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any matters merit the appointment of a Special Counsel."
Sessions revealed Thursday in the letter to top Republican lawmakers in both chambers of Congress that Huber was the senior federal prosecutor leading that effort.
…
Sessions added, "The Department has successfully investigated and prosecuted many high-profile resource-intensive matters since the regulations were promulgated in 1999, but the regulations' standard has been found to be satisfied on only two occasions," and said it was "more common" to appoint "accountable prosecutors" to conduct investigations within the department.

Q Research General #5420: Which version? Edition
The Department of Justice is requesting that the justification of an FBI raid on a reportedly recognized whistleblower's home remain secret, according to a letter from U.S. Attorney Robert Robert Hur.
The letter was sent to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland on Dec. 7 in response to The Daily Caller News Foundation's Nov. 30 request to unseal court documents that would show the FBI's rationale for the raid.
The documents could potentially reveal whether the bureau and the magistrate who signed the court order allowing the raid, Stephanie A. Gallagher, knew that the subject was, according to his lawyer, a recognized whistleblower.
Sixteen FBI agents raided Dennis Cain's Union Bridge, Maryland, home on Nov. 19 for six hours, even though Cain told them that he was a recognized whistleblower and handed classified documents over to the agents. (EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raids Home Of Whistleblower On Clinton Foundation, Lawyer Says)
The documents Cain possessed reportedly showed that federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and the Russian company that purchased Uranium One.
Cain gave the documents to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who had a senior official from his office hand-deliver them to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, according to Cain's layer, Michael Socarras.
Cain, a former employee of an FBI contractor, has not been arrested in connection with the raid.
Whistleblower advocates and defense attorneys have condemned the raid, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley demanded that FBI Director Christopher Wray justify the raid and divulge whether the bureau knew about Cain's reported disclosure. The Iowa Republican gave Wray until Dec. 12 to respond.
Hur did not address Cain's reported status as a protected whistleblower in his letter to the court and instead appeared to employ boilerplate objections to keep the documents out of the public. He also did not invoke national security concerns or claim that Cain possessed classified information.
Releasing the raid's justification would "seriously jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing investigation," Hur wrote in his eight-page letter. "Making this type of information public while this investigation is ongoing could harm the government's ability to find additional relevant evidence."
He also stated that his office opposed the court order's public release "to guard against possible tampering of witnesses and destruction of evidence, and to maintain the ability of the grand jury to investigate this matter."

>>4248803 pb
regarding Lynch Tarmac Comey…
What is known, based on press leaks and a letter Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley sent Lynch, is that in March 2016, the FBI received a batch of hacked documents from U.S. intelligence agencies that had access to stolen emails stored on Russian networks. One of the intercepted documents revealed an alleged email from then-DNC Chairwoman Wasserman Schultz to an operative working for billionaire Democratic fundraiser George Soros. It claimed Lynch had assured the Clinton campaign that investigators and prosecutors would go easy on the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee regarding her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state. Lynch allegedly made the promise directly to Clinton political director Amanda Renteria.

House set to vote on bill cracking down on drug companies overcharging Medicaid
The House is expected to vote next week on a bill to crack down on drug companies that overcharge the government, according to two House aides.
The bipartisan bill is aimed at stopping a repeat of the actions from Mylan, the maker of EpiPen, which made headlines last year for overcharging the Medicaid program for its commonly used product by as much as $1.27 billion over 10 years.
The bill, from Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), allows the government to fine drug companies that misclassify their drugs as generics in order to give smaller discounts to the government.
Mylan, the EpiPen maker, paid a settlement of $465 million last year for misclassifying its drug in that way.

Grassley Shuts Down 'Da Nang Dick' Blumenthal - Refuses to Call in Don Jr. For Questioning Over Fake News Articles
Democrat Senator Richard "Da Nang Dick" Blumenthal cited fake news stories from NPR and CNN in an effort to harass Don Jr. and drag him in for more questioning.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) destroyed minority Committee member Richard Blumenthal in a letter this week.
Grassley called out Blumenthal for citing the fake news article NPR ran where they blatantly lied by deceptively editing Don Jr.'s 2017 testimony.
Last Friday, NPR deceptively edited Don Jr.'s testimony to make it appear his account of the Trump Organization's plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow were inconsistent with Michael Cohen's testimony.
Blumenthal jumped on the story and Don Jr hit back hard after NPR admitted the story was false.
NPR purposely conflated two separate endeavors the Trump Organization pursued in their efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. The first effort included negotiations with Russian Real Estate mogul, Aras Agalarov which ended in 2014. The second effort to build a tower in Moscow involved Michael Cohen and businessman Felix Sater - this second effort took place from 2015-2016.
Fake news NPR then issued a huge correction to their story, but this didn't stop Da Nang Dick from citing the news story as evidence Don Jr lied to Congress.
This is precisely why CNN, NPR, New York Times roll out fake news articles - Democrat lawmakers cite these damaging stories as a reason to harass Trump and his family with congressional hearings and depositions.
Blumenthal also cited a fake news article from CNN that was published in July which used Clinton sewer dweller attorney Lanny Davis as its 'anonymous source.' The Lanny Davis saga turned into a media circus and another CNN story collapsed.
Grassley SLAMMED Blumenthal for citing the fake news CNN story as evidence Don Jr. lied to Congress:
"Puzzlingly, your letter also cites yet another claim that was the subject of a high-profile retraction. You cited a CNN article from July 2018 to imply that Mr. Trump Jr. may have lied when he said he did not tell his father in advance about the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting. That CNN article cited an anonymous source to claim that Mr. Cohen had witnessed Mr. Trump Jr. tell his father about the meeting beforehand. That anonymous source was later revealed to be Lanny Davis, Cohen's attorney, who retracted his claim in a bizarre media spectacle, which your office seems to have missed," Grassley wrote.
Senator Grassley then pivoted to someone who actually did lie to Congress - Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson.
"Of course, where we do have actual evidence of misleading testimony in Committee interviews, we should treat it seriously," Grassley said of Simpson.
After Grassley called out Blumenthal for citing fake news as an excuse to harass Don Jr., he said "In sum, I do not believe the examples you have cited warrant bringing Mr. Trump Jr. back in for an additional Committee interview. If you have more questions for him, Irespectfully suggest you write to his attorneys."

Sen. Grassley Demands Information About FBI Raid on Whistleblower
05 December 2018 07:45 AM
Sen. Chuck Grassley is calling for more information about the FBI's raid on a former agency contractor who had given a watchdog documents claiming that federal officials failed to investigate possible criminal activity related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and the sale of Canadian mining company Uranium One to a Russian company's subsidiary.
Grassley, R-Iowa, has sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and to the Department of Justice's internal watchdog, seeking more details on the raid of Dennis Nathan Cain in Maryland on Nov. 16, giving them until Dec. 12 to respond, reports Fox News.
Cain's attorney, Michael Socarras, told The Daily Caller after 16 FBI agents raided the home on Nov. 19 that the agent who led the raid accused Cain of being in possession of stolen federal property.
Cain claims he that he has been recognized as a protected whistleblower under federal law by DOJ watchdog Michael Horowitz. Socarras also said Horowitz sent Cain's information to the House and Senate intelligence committees.
Grassley, in his letter to Wray, asked why Cain's house was raided, if the FBI knew of his disclosures to Horowitz, and if the disclosures were considered protected. Further, he asked if agents seized any classified information.

Grassley DEMANDS ANSWERS FROM WRAY OVER RAID OF WHISTLEBLOWER ON CLINTON FOUNDATION
In the wake of a bombshell Daily Caller News Foundation investigative report late last week, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley demanded answers from FBI Director Christopher Wray about a Nov. 19 bureau raid on the home of a recognized whistleblower.
The whistleblower, Dennis Cain, who was once employed by an FBI contractor, reportedly turned over documents to the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz regarding the bureau's failure to investigate potential criminal activity regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and the Russian company that purchased Uranium One.
Horowitz subsequently deemed Cain a whistleblower protected under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act, Cain's lawyer, Michael Socarras, told TheDCNF.
Grassley sent a letter to Wray on Nov. 30 asking pointed questions about the raid on Cain's private residence in Union Bridge, Maryland.

Q Research General #5212: JUSTICE Edition
From 11/16/17
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has sought access to an undercover informant who helped the FBI chronicle bribery, kickbacks and money laundering inside Moscow's nuclear industry as part of an Obama-era Russia corruption case.
Heather Sawyer, the general counsel for Feinstein - the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee - sent an email this week to the lawyer for the former FBI informant, William Campbell, seeking to be included in conversations involving the committee.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the committee, secured an agreement with the Justice Department to allow Campbell to talk to Congress about the evidence he gathered for the FBI from 2009 to 2014 when he worked as a consultant for Tenex, a subsidiary of Russia's state-owned commercial nuclear arm Rosatom.
Campbell's work led to the indictments of three major players, including Tenex official Vadim Mikerin, a key Russian nuclear figure inside the United States who was sentenced to 48 months in prison in December 2015.
Grassley wants to know what the FBI did with the evidence it first gathered in 2009 that Mikerin and others inside the Russian nuclear industry were engaged in illegal activity.
The GOP chairman also wants to know whether the Obama administration was alerted to the illegal activity before it approved the sale of U.S. uranium assets to Rosatom and made other favorable decisions worth billions of dollars to Russia's nuclear industry.
"I'm writing to follow-up on the October 18, 2017 letter from Chairman Grassley," Sawyer wrote Campbell's attorney, Victoria Toensing.
"I understand that you represent someone who may have information of interest to the Committee and that discussions are under way to arrange for a possible interview," she added. "We would appreciate being looped in on those discussions so that we can address any concerns that might arise."
Toensing signaled in a response back to Feinstein's staff that she and her client will cooperate, according to an email exchange reviewed by The Hill.
Feinstein first showed her interest in the case a few weeks ago in an interview with The Hill where she said she would like to learn more about the FBI case and what happened with the evidence.
Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), who caucuses with the Democrats, likewise has said the case may raise legitimate oversight issues for Congress.
Some Republicans are pressing the Justice Department to name a special counsel to re-investigate the Mikerin matter. The department already appointed one special counsel in May, Robert Mueller, to probe ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia.
Republicans have noted that former President Bill Clinton received a $500,000 speech fee and millions in charitable donations from parties interested in the Russia nuclear company during the time his wife Hillary Clinton served as secretary of State.
Hillary Clinton has scoffed at those requests, suggesting they are nothing more than a partisan distraction from the current federal probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleen_Rowley
In January 1981, Rowley became a Special Agent with the FBI and was assigned to the Omaha, Nebraska and Jackson, Mississippi divisions. Beginning in 1984, she spent six years working in the New York City field office on investigations involving Italian organized crime and Sicilian heroin. During this time she served three temporary assignments in the U.S. embassy in Paris and the consulate in Montreal. In 1990, she was transferred to the FBI's Minneapolis field office, where she became Chief Division Counsel. There she taught constitutional law to FBI agents and police officers, and oversaw the Freedom of Information, Asset Forfeiture Program, Victim-Witness and community outreach programs.[2]
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Rowley wrote a paper for FBI Director Robert Mueller documenting how FBI HQ personnel in Washington, D.C., had mishandled and failed to take action on information provided by the Minneapolis, Minnesota Field Office regarding its investigation of suspected terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui. Moussaoui had been suspected of being involved in preparations for a suicide-hijacking similar to the December 1994 "Eiffel Tower" hijacking of Air France 8969. Failures identified by Rowley may have left the U.S. vulnerable to the September 11, 2001, attacks. Rowley was one of many agents frustrated by the events that led up to the attacks, writing:
During the early aftermath of September 11th, when I happened to be recounting the pre-September 11th events concerning the Moussaoui investigation to other FBI personnel in other divisions or in FBIHQ, almost everyone's first question was "Why?-Why would an FBI agent(s) deliberately sabotage a case? (I know I shouldn't be flippant about this, but jokes were actually made that the key FBI HQ personnel had to be spies or moles like Robert Hanssen who were actually working for Osama Bin Laden to have so undercut Minneapolis's effort.) [3][4][5]
In May 2002 Rowley testified to the Senate and the 9/11 Commission about the FBI's pre-9/11 lapses due to its internal organization and mishandling of information related to the attacks.[2] Mueller and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) pushed for and achieved a major reorganization, focused on creation of the new Office of Intelligence at the FBI.[6] This reorganization was supported with a significant expansion of FBI personnel with counterterrorism and language skills.[citation needed]
In February 2003, Rowley wrote a second open letter to Mueller, in which she warned her superiors that the bureau would not "be able to stem the flood of terrorism that will likely head our way in the wake of an attack on Iraq".[7] In April 2003, Rowley stepped down from her legal position to return to being a FBI Special Agent. At the end of 2004 she retired from the FBI after serving for 24 years.[2]

Jeff Flake forces Republicans to cancel confirmation of judges over Mueller
Senator Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) has forced Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to cancel a meeting in the process of confirming dozens of judges.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced the meeting scheduled for Thursday was cancelled and listed the nominees that would be up for confirmation.
Flake can block all judicial nominees from being sent for a confirmation vote on the Senate floor because he is the key vote in the Judiciary Committee, which has 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats.
Flake has said that he would refuse to vote for the appointments so long as his bill protecting the investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller was blocked by Republicans.
On Wednesday, the bill was defeated by Republicans.
Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) blocked the bill protecting Mueller by arguing that doing so would undermine separation of powers between the three branches of government.
"Prosecutorial authority of the United States belongs in the Department of Justice and the Department of Justice answers to the President of the United States. Its principle officers consist of people appointed by the president, serving at the pleasure of the president, after being confirmed by the United States Senate."
"This is a fundamental component of our liberty," Lee argued.
In an interview on CNN Wednesday, Flake said that he didn't understand why Republicans wouldn't vote for the bill unless there was a threat of Trump interfering with the investigation.
"The president needs to know that the Senate will not stand for him firing Mueller," said Flake. "And the message he's getting right now is that the Senate and the leadership will protect him."
Here's Flake discussing his bill on CNN Wednesday:
"I think that that's the wrong message to send," he concluded.

Brennan and Clapper Spied on Congress Illegally - They Should Not Escape Prosecution
Recently declassified documents show that the former CIA director and former director of national intelligence approved illegal spying on Congress and then classified their crime. They need to face punishment, writes John Kiriakou.
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa made a dramatic announcement this month that almost nobody in America paid any attention to. Grassley released a statement saying that four years ago, he asked the Intelligence Community Inspector General to release two "Congressional Notifications" written by former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
Grassley had had his requests to declassify the documents ignored repeatedly throughout the last two years of the Obama administration. He decided to try again because all of the Obama people at the CIA and DNI are gone now. This time, his request was approved.

In a rare rebuke, Chief Justice John Roberts criticized President Trump over his remarks about the Obama-appointed judge Jon Tiger reversing his asylum policy.
On Tuesday, President Trump lashed out at the liberal activist 'Obama judge' in San Francisco who put his asylum policy on hold.
Trump addressed the asylum ruling: "This was an Obama judge. And I'll tell you what, it's not going to happen like this anymore."
Chief Justice John Roberts, who was nominated by George W. Bush and voted in favor to uphold Obamacare, lashed out at Trump on Wednesday saying the U.S. doesn't have "Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges."
President Trump responded to Chief Justice Roberts in a pair of tweets Wednesday afternoon.
It is nice to see Senator Grassley defend President Trump. Grassley is stepping down as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and is set to Chair the very powerful Senate Finance Committee in January.
Grassley will be Senate Pro Tempore which makes him 3rd in line to be President of the United States.

James Comey Calls Out House Republicans Planning to Issue Him Subpoena - Offers Public Testimony
Former FBI Director James Comey responded to House Republicans Friday evening after it was reported the Judiciary Committee was preparing to subpoena him along with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
The GOP-led House is in its final days of power before the Dems are set to take over in January.
According to Bloomberg, the House Judiciary is planning to issue subpoenas to the former Obama officials on November 29th and December 5th.
Comey fired off a cocky tweet offering public testimony saying he "wants the American people to watch," adding the House Republicans can 'ask him anything they wanted.'
COMEY: House Republicans can ask me anything they want but I want the American people to watch, so let's have a public hearing. Truth is best served by transparency. Let me know when is convenient.
Comey and Lynch were under threat of subpoena by the Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley in June of this year after the IG report revealed the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server was mishandled.
The FBI was destroyed under James Comey's directorship; the American people no longer have confidence in the premiere law enforcement agency.

Comey, Lynch To Receive Subpoenas From House GOP
The GOP-led House Judiciary committee will issue subpoenas to former FBI Director James Comey and former Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch, according to Bloomberg and CNN's Manu Raju. The subpoenas will reportedly be issued on November 29 and December 5, while the GOP says they would prefer them to meet in private but are open to public testimony.
New: GOP-led House Judiciary, in its final days in power, is planning to issue subpoenas to former FBI Director James Comey and President Obama's attorney general, Loretta Lynch - on Nov. 29 and Dec. 5. GOP wants them in private setting, though they've said they would publicly - Manu Raju (@mkraju) November 16, 2018
News of the subpoenaes rattled ranking Democrat Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who is expected to chair the panel next year. "These subpoenas are coming out of the blue, with very little time left on the calendar," Nadler said in a statement, noting that Lynch and Comey had indicated "months ago" that they were willing to answer questions voluntarily. Comey and Lynch were under threat of subpoena earlier this year by Sen. Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee (R-IA), only to be blocked by the panel's top Democrat, Dianne Feinstein of California.
In June, the Department of Justice's internal watchdog, the Inspector General, found that Comey defied authority several times while he was director of the FBI, including using personal email (Gmail) for official business. The former FBI Director has also come under fire for mishandling classified information when he leaked an internal memo to the press documenting what he felt was President Trump obstructing the FBI's probe into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn - which was conducted by the FBI under dubious circumstances, and for which evidence may have been tampered with. Comey's memo was a key component in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's decision to launch a special counsel investigation headed by former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
In addition, Comey was head of the FBI during a multi-agency counterintelligence operation against the Trump campagin in which campaign aides were spied on and misled by FBI/DOJ agents. Loretta Lynch, on the other hand, was dinged in the IG report over an "ambiguous" incomplete recusal from the Clinton email "matter" despite a clandestine 30-minute "tarmac" meeting with Bill Clinton one week before the FBI exonerated Hillary Clinton.

Lindsey Graham to prioritize Justice Department oversight as committee chairman
Sen. Lindsey Graham wants to make oversight of the Department of Justice and the FBI a top priority if he takes the helm of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the next Congress. he South Carolina Republican is next in line to become Judiciary chairman now that Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has said he'll return to running the Senate Finance Committee. "The oversight function would very much be front and center," Graham said this week after a reporter asked him how he'll run the committee and whether he'd investigate special counsel Robert Mueller's handling of the investigation into alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russia.
Graham has also criticized Trump at times and supports legislation to protect the Mueller investigation, even though he doesn't think it's necessary. Trump has called the investigation a witch hunt, but has not made any specific move to end it, although some believe the ousting of Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a threat to Mueller. "The idea of having a check and balance makes sense to me," Graham said of legislation offered by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., that would make it difficult for the president to fire Mueller. "I would support it if it came to the floor, but I don't see an imminent threat to Mueller." Graham said Session's replacement won't try to stop Mueller. "He understands the position he is in," Graham said. "He's probably not going to be the next attorney general but this is a chance for him to show that he can handle responsibility. This enhances his political future if he handles this well. It would be a nightmare for us to truncate the Mueller investigation and I think he understands that."

Lindsey Graham to Take Over as Chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is set to take over as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee following Chuck Grassley's move to Chair the Finance Committee.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced Friday he will be stepping down as Judiciary Chair.
Via The Hill:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is poised to become the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced Friday that he would step down to take over the chairmanship of the Finance Committee.
The shuffle would put Graham, a close ally of President Trump who made headlines this fall with a forceful denunciation of Democrats during Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, in charge of the panel handling judicial nominations.
Earlier this week, Senator Lindsey Graham said if he became the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee he would further investigate the FBI's botched probe of Hillary Clinton's private server.
When asked by CNN on Tuesday if he would investigate the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation and Hillary Clinton's botched email probe, Graham said, "totally," adding, "The oversight function will be very much front and center."

Congress Unanimously Passes Hatch's Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act
Washington, DC -Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), the senior Republican and President Pro Tempore of the US Senate, released the following statement after Congress passed the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act. Senator Hatch introduced the legislation alongside Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), John Cornyn (R-TX), and Pat Toomey (R-PA). This bill recognizes the unique kind of harm caused by child pornography and requires restitution in a manner that will support victims.

Q Research General #4970: Damn The Torpedos Edition
New Documents Reveal CIA Spied on Congress, Whistleblowers
Newly declassified documents reveal the CIA-which is supposed to be strictly limited in the types of surveillance and other secret operations it conducts on U.S. soil-routinely monitors U.S. government computer systems.
That information is contained in two formerly secret letters of "congressional notification" written in 2014 by the Intelligence Community inspector general at the time, Charles McCullough. In the letters, McCullough reveals the CIA secretly intercepted and collected emails between congressional staff and the CIA's head of whistleblowing and source protection. The collection was said to occur as part of the CIA's "routine counterintelligence monitoring of government computer systems."
Several sources familiar with the congressional notifications at the time, but unable to speak about it until now because the material was classified, said it is extremely worrisome that the CIA intercepted private communications with Senate staff about Intelligence Community whistleblowers.
"Most of these emails concerned pending and developing whistleblower complaints," wrote McCullough in letters to lead Democrats and Republicans at the time on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees-Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.).
McCullough said he was concerned about the CIA's "potential compromise to whistleblower confidentiality and the consequent 'chilling effect' that the present [counterintelligence] monitoring system might have on Intelligence Community whistleblowing."
The intercepts in question were conducted under the leadership of CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Both men dragged their feet, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), when he originally sought to have the congressional notifications declassified. A then-staffer of Sen. Grassley was among those whose emails were intercepted by the CIA.
Brennan and Clapper, now working in private industry and as consultants for NBC and CNN respectively, have been widely criticized for a variety of alleged surveillance missteps and abuses.
Both men were involved in controversial 2016 election year "unmaskings"-identifying protected names of Americans "incidentally" captured by government surveillance. Originally, when asked under oath in 2017 about unmasking requests made by any U.S. ambassador, including President Barack Obama's ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, Brennan claimed ignorance: "I don't know. Maybe it's ringing a vague bell but I'm not-I could not answer with any confidence." It was later revealed that hundreds of unmasking requests had been made in Power's name in 2016. Brennan also acknowledged that he requested that U.S. citizens' names be unmasked on numerous occasions.

Michael Avenatti arrested for domestic violence
(CNN)Attorney Michael Avenatti has been placed under arrest for felony domestic violence and was being booked early Wednesday evening.
Los Angeles Police Department officer Jeff Lee said the domestic violence report was taken on Tuesday in West Los Angeles and the arrest was made Wednesday.
"We can confirm that today LAPD Detectives arrested Michael Avenatti on suspicion of domestic violence. This is an ongoing investigation and we will provide more details as they become available," the LAPD Twitter account posted Wednesday.
In a statement, Avenatti called the allegations "completely bogus."
"I wish to thank the hard working men and woman of the LAPD for their professionalism they were only doing their jobs in light of the completely bogus allegations against me," he said. "I have never been physically abusive in my life nor was I last night. Any accusations to the contrary are fabricated and meant to do harm to my reputation. I look forward to being fully exonerated."
The alleged domestic assault incident was first reported by TMZ.
Avenatti emerged this year as a regular antagonist of President Donald Trump, beginning with his legal representation of Stormy Daniels and his frequent media appearances. For months, he has publicly flirted with a potential bid for the Democratic presidential nomination to challenge Trump in 2020.
The alleged domestic violence incident could dash Avenatti's prospects as a potential insurgent Democratic candidate and clash with the image he has presented of himself as an advocate for women, including Daniels in her clash with Trump and an accuser against recently confirmed Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The Vermont Democratic Party canceled Avenatti's appearances for Friday and Saturday following his arrest, and it will refund all ticket sales, said Christopher Di Mezzo, the party's communications director.
The decision to cancel the events was made "almost immediately after the news broke," he said.
The allegation would also mark another legal issue for the California attorney, whose firm settled a case with the IRS in July and was ordered last month to pay a multimillion-dollar judgment over debt to a former law partner.
Following his representation of Julie Swetnick for her allegations against Kavanaugh, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said in October that he was referring Avenatti and Swetnick to the Justice Department. Avenatti said at the time that the referral was "baseless." Several Democrats said in the wake of Kavanaugh's confirmation that Avenatti and Swetnick's involvement damaged their efforts to prevent Kavanaugh's confirmation – a charge Avenatti denied.
CNN's Bonney Kapp contributed to this report.

Grassley nominated as Senate Pro Tempore for 116th Congress
WASHINGTON (KWWL) - The Senate Republican majority of the upcoming 116th Congress unanimously nominated Senator Chuck Grassley to be Senate pro tempore, a position that has historically been bestowed upon the most senior member of the majority party in the upper chamber of Congress.
Upon his expected election to the position by the full Senate on January 3, 2019, Grassley will become third in the line of presidential succession following the Vice President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Grassley has represented Iowa in the US Senate for 38 years. He will succeed Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah as Senate pro tempore.
"This is an honor for me and the state of Iowa. The President pro tempore is one of a handful of offices specifically named by the Founders in the Constitution," Grassley said. "I may only be three heartbeats away from the Oval Office, but my heart is and always will be in Iowa and here in the U.S. Senate, where I've worked for the people of Iowa and our nation for 38 years. My commitment to representative government and the deliberative body of the U.S. Senate is stronger than ever. I'll work to see that we uphold the Senate as a check on the executive and judicial branches of government, including our constitutional authority to provide advice and consent."

So Anons - Will Sen. Grassley go to Chair the Finance Committee in the new Congress and hand the Judiciary over to Lindsey Graham?
Des Moines Register: August 15, 2018
Sen. Grassley won't rule out switch from Judiciary Committee chair to Finance Committee
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley said Wednesday he isn't closing the door on a switch from chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee to head of the Senate Finance Committee next year, but it's too early to speculate on what will happen.
"I am going to tell you to ask me that same question the day after the election," Grassley told Iowa reporters on his weekly teleconference call. "And not because I want to avoid your question. But it isn't even an issue until I know that we are in the majority."
Asked if he is not ruling out a possible shift to the Senate Finance Committee chairmanship, Grassley replied, "Oh, I never rule anything out."
Politico recently reported that U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, is in line to take over the Senate Judiciary Committee next year, assuming Grassley leaves the post to become chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee. Politico said a growing number of Republican sources said it's likely Grassley will jump, leaving Graham to preside over the Judiciary Committee and possibly draft a compromise on immigration reform.

Politico: August 2, 2018
If Lindsey Graham leads the Senate Judiciary Committee next year, he would be well positioned to craft a compromise on immigration - but first he has to win Trump over.
The shift would require current Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) to swap his gavel for the Finance Committee chairmanship. And a growing number of Republican sources say it's likely Grassley will jump, leaving Graham to preside over the powerful committee with jurisdiction on the nation's borders.
"On immigration, there's a deal to be had. We'll see if we get there," Graham said in an interview. Asked whether he'd take the Judiciary job if it fell to him, he answered: "Sure. It'd be an honor."

Top Senate Democrat demands hearing with Whitaker, Sessions
The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee is demanding that acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions be called in for congressional hearing "as quickly as possible." "The circumstances surrounding Attorney General Sessions' departure raise serious questions, including whether the appointment is lawful and the possible impact on Special Counsel Mueller's investigation," Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said in a letter sent Tuesday to Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, demanding a hearing with Whitaker.
Last week, Sessions was forced to resign by President Trump and replaced by Whitaker, previously Sessions' chief of staff. Whitaker now takes control of oversight of special counsel Robert Mueller and his wide-ranging investigation into Russian election interference. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had been in control due to Sessions' recusal, and he appointed Mueller in May 2017. In a separate letter to Grassley calling for a committee hearing with Sessions, Feinstein wrote that "it is critically important that we understand why the Attorney General was forced out of his position." "This seems consistent with the hearings held when FBI Director Comey was fired," said Joyce Alene, a former U.S. attorney who served under the Obama administration from 2009 to 2017, on Twitter about the call for hearings. "If Senators are concerned with DOJ's integrity & believe the Whitaker appointment was proper, there's no reason a hearing shouldn't be held."
On Monday, Feinstein joined a letter sent by top congressional Democrats to Lee Lofthus, the DOJ's chief ethics officer, asking him if any top Justice Department ethics officials have advised Whitaker to recuse himself from oversight of the special counsel. Due to both Whitaker's 2017 remarks critical of Mueller and his relationship with Sam Clovis - who is a grand jury witness in Mueller's investigation - as well as what the lawmakers say are "other entanglements," the Democratic lawmakers want to know if Lofthus or any other ethics officials at the Justice Department have advised Whitaker to recuse himself, as well as "the basis for that recommendation." "We also request that you provide us all ethics guidance the department has provided to Mr. Whitaker to date," they wrote.
The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel is expected to say that Whitaker's appointment was legal and he can continue oversight of Mueller. That legal opinion is expected Tuesday. "Acting AG Matt Whitaker is fully committed to following all appropriate processes and procedures at the Department of Justice, including consulting with senior ethics officials on his oversight responsibilities and matters that may warrant recusal," Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement.

Obama's CIA Read Congressional Emails About Intel Community Whistleblowers
https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/01/Chuck-Grassley-obama-cia-whistleblowers/
The CIA during the Obama administration read congressional emails discussing whistleblower complaints about activities within the intelligence community, according to newly declassified documents provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
The documents show that on March 28, 2014, I. Charles McCullough III, who then served as the Intelligence Community's watchdog, wrote to Congress that CIA's security division had read emails exchanged between congressional staffers and the top official in the Intelligence Community Inspector General office that protects whistleblowers.
CIA security said that the emails were picked up during a "routine counterintelligence (CI) monitoring of Government security systems," according to McCullough, who provided the details in documents known as Congressional Notifications, or CNs.
"Most of these emails concerned pending and developing whistleblower complaints," wrote McCullough.
McCullough also said that CIA security provided reports of the monitoring to offices where some of the whistleblowers worked.
McCullough said that though the routine monitoring was legal, he was concerned "about the potential compromise to whistleblower confidentiality and the consequent 'chilling effect' that the present CI monitoring system might have on Intelligence Community whistleblowing."
The release of the documents brings to an end a four-year fight between Iowa GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, and the intelligence community. (RELATED: Grassley Defends Whistleblower Law)
Grassley wrote to former CIA Director John Brennan and former National Intelligence Director James Clapper on April 14, 2014 seeking the declassification of the two CNs. Neither Obama-appointed official accommodated the request.
Grassley accused Brennan and Clapper of "bureaucratic foot-dragging" for refusing to declassify the documents, in a statement Thursday.
"The fact that the CIA under the Obama administration was reading Congressional staff's emails about intelligence community whistleblowers raises serious policy concerns as well as potential Constitutional separation-of-powers issues that must be discussed publicly," said Grassley, who is well-known in Washington as an advocate for government whistleblowers.

There are currently 57 nominations to Article III courts *[awaiting Senate action]*, including 7 for the Courts of Appeals, 48 for the District Courts, and 2 for the Court of International Trade. There are currently 11 vacancies on the U.S. Courts of Appeals, 111 vacancies on the U.S. District Courts, 2 vacancies on the U.S. Court of International Trade, and 20 announced federal judicial vacancies that will occur before the end of Trump's first term (4 for the Courts of Appeals and 16 for District Courts).
* Notice - *[awaiting Senate action]*
PLEASE READ THIS CLOSELY TO SEE HOW IT APPLIES TO Q's COMMENTS ABOUT THE SENATE.
(Business Insider article - Jul 2017)
"What strikes me about the Trump administration's judicial-nomination process is how quickly they have moved," Coons said.
But there's a catch.
Of those 55 nominees, 45 are from - or nominated for jobs in - states Trump won outright in last fall's election. If you remove the positions based in Washington, DC, that number becomes 45 of 48, a remarkably high 94%. Just 64% of Obama's initial nominees hailed from states he carried in the 2008 presidential election.
And there's a reason for that.
It's known as the "blue slip," or the *[consent of both home-state senators]*. And it's Senate tradition to not advance any judicial or US attorney nominee without having the blue slip.
*Notice - [Blue Slip] *[consent of both home-state senators]*
In states with two Republican senators, Trump has made 30 of his 55 nominations. In states with two Democratic senators, he has nominated five. And four of those are for circuit court or Court of Federal Claims openings, positions for which Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has said the blue-slip rule is not quite as important in comparison to district judgeships.

Q Research General #4818: Whitaker Eats Nails For Breakfast Edition
A bit of speculation mixed in with some research:
Remember when Doug Jones won his senate seat shifting senate from 52-48 to 51-49 and the Democrats got a 10th seat on the senate judiciary committee?
Sauce www.politico.com/story/2018/01/03/doug-jones-sworn-in-senate-322269
Rs will have 52+ senators so the Ds should lose a seat on that committee. 10-1 = 9
Republicans get 11 of which 9 remain in the Senate and are likely to retain their position.
Chuck Grassley - Trust 100%
Orin Hatch - Vacant
Lindsey (golden) Graham - 100% our guy
John Cornyn - 100%
Mike Lee - 100%
Ted Cruz - 100%
Ben Sasse - new weakest link
Jeff Flake - gone, suck a dick!
Mike Crapo - 92% vote with Trump
Tom Tillis - 95% vote with Trump
John Kennedy - 100%
Sauce: www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/members
9 out of the 11 remain and will likely remain on the committee.
Josh Hawley will be on Senate Judiciary committee. He argued cases at Supreme Court and was Missouri AG. Trump visited Missouri more than anywhere else durring 2016 - 2018 cycle. Josh was very important for a reason. With Flake stepping down, His win flipped 2 Judiciary seats for Trump.
Tom Cotton is a lawyer and would be a solid choice for filling Orin Hatch vacancy on the committee
Grassley, Graham, Cornyn, Lee, Cruz, Kenedy + Cotton and Hawley = 8 100% on board
Crapo and Tillis should be solid both vote with Trump over 90% of time. Tillis faces reelection in 2020 and will need Trump while Crapo is in 2022 but one of the reddest states I expect 2 solid votes here
8+2 = 10 solid votes. Dems have 9 and need to work Sasse for tie in committee
Sasse faces reelection in 2020. In the conventional analysis this makes him Trump's bitch. Alternatively, with Sasse's past with the Hastert, Foley scandal Sasse may be one of 60,000 sealed indictments, if not he could be added to that list

Q Research General #4787: A Torrent Of Numbers Edition
CIA's 'Surveillance State' Is Operating Against Us All
Maybe you once thought the CIA wasn't supposed to spy on Americans here in the United States.
That concept is so yesteryear…
Over time, the CIA upper echelon has secretly developed all kinds of policy statements and legal rationales to justify routine, widespread surveillance on U.S. soil of citizens who aren't suspected of terrorism or being a spy.
The latest outrage is found in newly declassified documents from 2014. They reveal the CIA not only intercepted emails of U.S. citizens but they were emails of the most sensitive kind - written to Congress and involving whistleblowers reporting alleged wrongdoing within the Intelligence Community.
The disclosures, kept secret until now, are two letters of "congressional notification" from the Intelligence Community inspector general at the time, Charles McCullough. He stated that during "routine counterintelligence monitoring of government computer systems," the CIA collected emails between congressional staff and the CIA's head of whistleblowing and source protection.
McCullough added that he was concerned about the CIA's "potential compromise to whistleblower confidentiality and the consequent 'chilling effect' that the present [counterintelligence] monitoring system might have on Intelligence Community whistleblowing."
"Most of these emails concerned pending and developing whistleblower complaints," McCullough stated in the letters to lead Democrats and Republicans at the time on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees - Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), and Reps. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.).
The March 2014 intercepts, conducted under the leadership of CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, happened amid what's widely referred to as the Obama administration's war on whistleblowers and mass surveillance scandals.
Is that legal?
According to the CIA, the spy agency has been limited since the 1970s to collecting intelligence "only for an authorized intelligence purpose; for example, if there is a reason to believe that an individual is involved in espionage or international terrorist activities" and "procedures require senior approval for any such collection that is allowed."
But here's where it gets slippery. It turns out the CIA claims it must engage in "routine counterintelligence monitoring of government computers" to make sure certain employees aren't doing bad things. Poof! Now, all kinds of U.S. citizens and their communications can be swept into the dragnet - and it's deemed perfectly legal. It's just an accident or "incidental," after all, if the CIA happens to pick up whistleblower communications with the legislative branch.
Or maybe it's a lucky break for certain CIA officials.
The only reason we know any of this now is thanks to Sen. Chuck Grassley(R-Iowa), whose staffers were among those spied on. Grassley says it took four years for him to get the shocking "congressional notifications" declassified so they could be made public. First, Grassley says, Clapper and Brennan dragged their feet, blocking their release. Their successors in the Trump administration were no more responsive. Only when Grassley recently appealed to current Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who was sworn in on May 17, was the material finally declassified.
"The fact that the CIA under the Obama administration was reading congressional staff's emails about Intelligence Community whistleblowers raises serious policy concerns, as well as potential constitutional separation-of-powers issues that must be discussed publicly," wrote Grassley in a statement.
Legal or not, there was a time when this news would have so shocked our sensibilities - and would have been considered so antithetical to our Constitution by so many - that it would have prompted a swift, national outcry.
But today, we've grown numb. Outrage has been replaced by a cynical, "Who's surprised about that?" or the persistent belief that "Nothing's really going to be done about it," and, worst of all, "What's so bad about it, anyway?"
Some see the intel community's alleged abuses during campaign 2016 as its own major scandal. But I see it as a crucial piece of a puzzle.
The evidence points to bad actors targeting candidate Donald Trump and his associates in part to keep them - and us - from learning about and digging into an even bigger scandal: our Intelligence Community increasingly spying on its own citizens, journalists, members of Congress and political enemies for the better part of two decades, if not longer.

Lindsey Graham To Revoke Kamala And Feistein's Veto Privileges As Payback For Kavanaugh
Lindsey Graham is a star, of that there is no doubt. He gave the GOP a huge injection of energy (and spine) during the crucial moments of the Kavanaugh debacle. Lindsey came through in the clutch and just as Chuck Grassley continues to refer people to the feds for lying, Lindsey has not forgotten.
Lindsey remembers what happened and moreover, he believes his mentor and good friend John McCain would have been furious over the smear. The issue runs deep for Lindsey and Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein should have thought of that before they did what they did.
It was a disgrace to drag that poor woman through the mud to say nothing of what they did to Kavanaugh - remember Ford wanted to stay hidden from view and was never even told she didn't have to go to DC for the spectacle.
Lindsey went on Hugh Hewitt's show today and set his sights on the two Senators from California. There has been a long-standing practice in the Senate to give home state Senators veto power over the circuit courts. One step before the Supreme Court these are the second most powerful judges in the country, as we saw when some blocked Trump's immigration ban.
In the past, Presidents would give veto power for these appointments to the local Senators to ensure a court that resembles the people. No law, just custom.
But after Kavanaugh Lindsey said that is a thing of the past. If the GOP keeps the Senate as expected Lindsey has plans:
Lindsey Graham: 100%. So Chuck Grassley has done a great job as chairman. If he does move over, to your listeners, what we're talking about, let's say two Democratic senators in California, there's an opening on the 9th Circuit in California, there's been a practice in the past where senators can basically veto a selection by the White House. It's been uneven in its application. But from my point of view, after Kavanaugh, we'll get their input, but they're not going to have a veto on the Circuit Court.
Hewitt: And will the pace continue as it has been, because 29 is great. I want 40 by the end of the year. And I want 100 by the end of four years.
Graham: Well, to the extent if I'm chairman, we will work diligently to fill vacancies and try to make sure that the next year and a half, by the summer of 2020, it sort of comes to a halt, that we're productive when it comes to federal judges on the bench.
That's one of the reasons people go to the polls in presidential elections. The court's at stake. We all talk about how important the election is for the court. So here's the thing for the Democrats.
They don't want to acknowledge that President Trump won. They tried to undercut his ability to pick highly-qualified nominees to the Supreme Court. And we're going to be full throttle when it comes to judges.

'Security Concerns': New SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh Denied Ceremonial Walk
The US Supreme Court's newest justice, Brett Kavanaugh, will not participate in the traditional walk down the courthouse steps following his investiture ceremony this week, due to security concerns, according to a statement issued on Friday by the US Supreme Court.
Kavanaugh's investiture ceremony is scheduled to take place on Thursday. Typically, a new judge, along with the chief justice, walk together down the marble steps in front of the Supreme Court after the new judge is admitted.
However, according to court spokesperson Kathy Arberg, an exception is being made in Kavanaugh's case "out of an abundance of caution due to security concerns."
On October 6, the Senate voted by 50 to 48 in favor of installing the 53-year-old conservative judge on the nine-member top US court, a life position.
?The vote put an end to weeks of bitter debate and protest after at least three women, including California criminal psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford, came forward with accusations that the judge had sexually assaulted them in the past. Kavanaugh denied the allegations, while US Donald President Trump repeatedly accused protesters of trying to "make Senators look bad."
This weekend, Judy Munro-Leighton - who admitted to writing a letter under the alias Jane Doe - told federal investigators that she had falsely accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault because she was "angry" and wanted public attention.
"Under questioning by Committee investigators, Ms. Munro-Leighton admitted, contrary to her prior claims, that she had not been sexually assaulted by Judge Kavanaugh," Senator Chuck Grassley wrote in a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray, describing her as a left-wing activist who was "decades older than Judge Kavanaugh."
"The Committee is grateful to citizens who come forward with relevant information in good faith, even if they are not one hundred percent sure about what they know," Grassley wrote in his letter to the FBI and DOJ.
"But when individuals intentionally mislead the Committee, they divert Committee resources during time-sensitive investigations and materially impede our work. Such acts are not only unfair; they are potentially illegal."
According to a recent Harvard/Harris poll, most American women and men (about 55 percent) claim that Democrats were not genuinely concerned with the accusations of sexual assault made by Ford, but instead were using the allegations to gain political advantage.

Senate Panel Issues Report That Exonerates Kavanaugh of All Allegations
The Senate Judiciary Committee issued a report on Nov. 3 summarizing its investigation of allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The report concludes that there is no evidence to support the claims made by Kavanaugh's accusers.
The committee instead found evidence that one accuser fabricated her accusation, while another accuser conspired with her attorney to make false claims. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) referred those involved for criminal investigation.
Investigators also found evidence of potential witness tampering and violations of Senate rules. The committee's review of these issues is ongoing, according to the report.
The 414-page report (pdf) on Nov. 3 summarizes the investigative findings based on interviews with 45 people and a review of 25 written statements. The investigators found no evidence to corroborate the allegations against Kavanaugh. The FBI reached the same conclusion shortly before the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in early October.
"The revelation of last minute allegations tested the committee in many ways. But these investigative efforts rose to the occasion and were critical to helping us obtain the truth. This was a serious and thorough investigation that left no stone unturned in our pursuit of the facts," Grassley said in a statement. "In the end, there was no credible evidence to support the allegations against the nominee."
The report lifts the lid on the scale of the investigative effort that was triggered by 11th-hour accusations against Kavanaugh. A team of 40 attorneys, law clerks, and other professionals investigated all of the claims against Kavanaugh. Teams of 2-3 investigators conducted phone interviews and followed up on leads. The committee also monitored social media and news reports.
In addition to the allegations made by Christine Ford, the committee investigated claims made by Deborah Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, and three anonymous accusers.
The investigators concluded that there is no verifiable evidence to support the allegations lodged by Ford and Ramirez.

Trump Challenges Dems on Kavanaugh Accuser's Admission She Made It All Up: Where Are You?
President wants to know, as do many Americans, what those on the Left have to say about falsehoods lodged against a good man
Where are they?
Where are the Democrats on a woman's recent admission that she made up all of her charges of rape against now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh?
The woman has admitted she never even met Kavanaugh - ever.
This is what President Donald Trump wants to know - as do scores of American citizens across the country.
On Saturday, Trump challenged those on the Left to speak up - to make some comment, say something - after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, referred to the Department of Justice and the FBI for criminal prosecution a woman for making "materially false statements" after she clearly and wrongly accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh of raping her.
"A vicious accuser of Justice Kavanaugh has just admitted that she was lying, her story was totally made up, or FAKE!" Trump tweeted on Saturday.
"Can you imagine if he didn't become a Justice of the Supreme Court because of her disgusting False Statements. What about the others? Where are the Dems on this?"
Here is Trump's tweet from Saturday morning, posted just after 9:30 a.m.:

Woman who claimed Kavanaugh raped her referred for investigation
A woman who claimed to be the author of a letter accusing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of rape may face a federal investigation of her own. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, referred a woman who had claimed to have written an anonymous letter sent to Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., for allegedly false statements she made to the Senate Judiciary Committee during the investigation of allegations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.
n a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Grassley said that Munro-Leighton contacted the committee via email on Oct. 3 and said she was the author of the handwritten Sept. 19 letter signed by Jane Doe of Oceanside, Calif., which detailed an encounter in which Kavanaugh and a friend allegedly sexually assaulted the writer.
When asked in late September about the letter's allegations in an interview conducted under penalty of felony, Kavanaugh said, "[T]he whole thing is just a crock, farce, wrong, didn't happen, not anything close."
Committee investigators first tried to contact her during the confirmation hearings, and finally succeeded Thursday. Munro-Leighton, who does not live in California and is much older than Kavanaugh, told staff she was not the author of the letter and had contacted the committee as a ploy, Grassley said in his letter referring Munro-Leighton for investigation. "The Committee is grateful to citizens who come forward with relevant information in good faith, even if they are not one hundred percent sure about what they know," said Grassley in the letter. "But when individuals intentionally mislead the Committee, they divert Committee resources during time-sensitive investigations and materially impede our work. Such acts are not only unfair; they are potentially illegal."

Susan Collins Reveals An Incident That 'Really Scared' Her During Kavanaugh Confirmation Controversy
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins revealed the details of an early October incident that prompted Capitol Police to assign her protection during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation process, in an interview with the Washington Examiner published Thursday.
"I'd worked late til 9:30 p.m., and there was a man who had been waiting for me at my townhouse in the rain in the dark for hours," Collins told the Examiner. "And that, I will tell you, really scared me."
The Republican was one of the swing votes in confirming Kavanaugh. She waited until the day before the Oct. 6 vote to announce she would support Kavanaugh's nomination.
Collins and her office received threats and even obscene items while she considered whether or not to vote to confirm Kavanaugh. She had assigned protection both in Washington, D.C., and at her home in Bangor, Maine, where protesters gathered on the weekends, reported the Examiner.
Collins and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, were both threatened by a New York man arrested on Oct. 19 for leaving them violent messages based on their support for Kavanaugh.
"I do feel more safe at this point," Collins told the Examiner.

Ex Director's 'Nixonian Obsession With Leaks' Drove Obama CIA to Spy on Congress
The Central Intelligence Agency surveilled and analyzed the emails of Congressional staffers during the Obama administration, according to recently declassified Congressional notifications detailing the snooping.
The CIA was collecting information specifically related to CIA whistleblowers and dumping it into a report that was sent to Congress. This week, that report was declassified.
During former US President Barack Obama's second term in office, the foreign intelligence gathering agency was "reading Congressional staff's emails about intelligence community whistleblowers," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said in a Friday statement, noting that it "raises serious policy concerns as well as potential constitutional separation-of-powers issues that must be discussed publicly."
"Nothing - nothing - should inhibit or interfere with Congress' constitutional job and protecting whistleblowers," the Republican said, The Washington Times reports.
But Langley had reasons to keep close tabs on potential whistleblowers: it didn't want leaks coming out that might embarrass the administration, says John Kiriakou, who spent 15 years at the CIA and now hosts Loud & Clear on Radio Sputnik.
Kiriakou noted that much of the material classified by the US government shouldn't be. "You can't classify something that's a crime," he explained. "And you can't classify something that's embarrassing. You can only classify something if it's sources and methods or operational details. So much of what's classified in our government is improperly classified. The leaks were embarrassing to the administration. And that's why [then-CIA Director John] Brennan began going after whistleblowers," Kiriakou told Sputnik News Friday.
The email surveillance program was an offshoot of Brennan's "Nixonian obsession with leaks," Kiriakou told Sputnik. Kiriakou spent time during his tenure at the agency in the Middle East and Greece, among other areas. In 2007, he spoke publicly about the agency's "enhanced interrogation" program, also known as torture, before being jailed for it during the Obama administration.

CIA secretly intercepted Congressional communications about whistleblowers
CIA intercepted Congressional emails about whistleblowers in 2014
The Inspector General expressed concern about "potential compromise to whistleblower confidentiality" and "chilling effect"
Newly-declassified documents show the CIA intercepted sensitive Congressional communications about intelligence community whistleblowers.
The intercepts occurred under CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. The new disclosures are contained in two letters of "Congressional notification" originally written to key members of Congress in March 2014, but kept secret until now.
In the letters, then-Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough tells four key members of Congress that during "routing counterintelligence monitoring of Government computer systems," the CIA collected emails between Congressional staff and the CIA's head of whistleblowing and source protection. McCullough states that he's concerned "about the potential compromise to whistleblower confidentiality and the consequent 'chilling effect' that the present [counterintelligence] monitoring system might have on Intelligence Community whistleblowing."
The idea that the CIA would monitor communications of U.S. government officials, including those in the legislative branch, is itself controversial. But in this case, the CIA picked up some of the most sensitive emails between Congress and intelligence agency workers blowing the whistle on alleged wrongdoing.
"Most of these emails concerned pending and developing whistleblower complaints," McCullough states in his letters to lead Democrats and Republicans on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees at the time: Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-California) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia); and Representatives Michael Rogers (R-Michigan) and Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Maryland). McCullough adds that the type of monitoring that occurred was "lawful and justified for [counterintelligence] purposes" but
"I am not confident that Congressional staff fully understood that their whistleblower-related communications with my Executive Director of whistleblowing might be reviewed as a result of routine [CIA counterintelligence] monitoring."-Intelligence Community Inspector General 2014
The disclosures from 2014 were released late Thursday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). "The fact that the CIA under the Obama administration was reading Congressional staff's emails about intelligence community whistleblowers raises serious policy concerns as well as potential Constitutional separation-of-powers issues that must be discussed publicly," wrote Grassley in a statement.
According to Grassley, he originally began trying to have the letters declassified more than four years ago but was met with "bureaucratic foot-dragging, led by Brennan and Clapper."

Chuck Grassley: Kavanaugh and 'the caravan' might save GOP
Sen. Chuck Grassley said in an interview here that the Republicans might win congressional majorities next week because of "Kavanaugh" and "the caravan." Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Republican enthusiasm picked up in the aftermath of the explosive hearings on Capitol Hill to examine allegations of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh, nominated for the Supreme Court by President Trump. He was ultimately confirmed on a party-line vote, with one Democrat and one Republican, respectively breaking ranks. Grassley, R-Iowa, said GOP enthusiasm is holding steady since partly because of fears about a migrant caravan making its way north through Mexico toward the Southern border. The migrants, from troubled Central American countries, are hoping to be granted political asylum by the U.S. But Trump has warned that they are filled with criminals and carry diseases. "It did away with the lethargy of the Republican base. We've got enthusiasm as high as what the Democrats have now nationally," Grassley said in an interview with the Washington Examiner, regarding the partisan Supreme Court confirmation process. "The caravan may be the second boost, but the Kavanaugh thing is the instigator of any boost we had."
House Republicans are laboring to defend a 23-seat majority. Senate Republicans, in better shape because they're competing on a favorable map, are likely to pad their 51-49 advantage. It's unusual for politicians to discuss policy priorities in starkly political terms, although it's typical of Grassley, a seven-term senator know to speak his mind and speak plainly. This approach certainly hasn't hurt President Trump - at least not yet. But occasionally, such honestly, or, speaking like a political operative, can get politicians in trouble. In 2015, when House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was on the cusp of becoming the next speaker of the House, he suggested in an interview on Fox News that House Republicans formed a special select committee to investigate the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya to weaken Democrat Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 presidential election. "Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she's untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened, had we not fought."
House Republicans ultimately selected Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin to succeed John Boehner as speaker. Ryan is stepping down at year's end, when he will retire from Congress. McCarthy is again the leading Republican to become the speaker, if his party holds the House majority.

Grassley again refers Avenatti to DOJ for criminal investigation
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced Friday that he is issuing a second criminal referral regarding lawyer Michael Avenatti.
Grassley announced the move a day after referring Avenatti and his client, Julie Swetnick, to the Justice Department for a potential criminal investigation into whether they made false statements to Congress about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The GOP chairman indicated that the second referral was precipitated by an NBC News report on Thursday, which contended that Swetnick denied making key allegations, saying that Avenatti "twisted [her] words."
Grassley wrote that based on the NBC report, "the purported declarant denied - both before and after the sworn statement was released - the key allegations Mr. Avenatti attributed to her."

Grassley on Avenatti: 'I want him to be the Democratic candidate' vs. Trump in 2020
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Friday that he hopes Michael Avenatti becomes the Democratic standard-bearer in the 2020 presidential primary the day he served a criminal referral against the lawyer and Julie Swetnick for what he believes were materially false claims against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. "I want him to be the Democratic candidate," Grassley said in an interview Friday. "So It finally shows how ridiculous the base of the Democratic Party is." Avenatti is "a good public relations man, opposite of the good that Trump does. But Trump's just as good," Grassley said, comparing the lawyer's ability to garner media attention with the president's own media savviness.
The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman made waves Thursday when he referred Avenatti and Swetnick for investigation by the DOJ, saying that the two were not "well-meaning" by bringing the allegations forth. He said his initial referral was a push to deter individuals from lying to Congress in the future. "To emphasize to anybody that wants to give a sworn statement to Congress that they better not lie. When you take those sworn statements, you don't just accept the statement. You have to follow up," Grassley said. "We ought to have an ethic [that] you don't lie to Congress. We've got a law against it."
Since Grassley referred the two for a possible probe, Avenatti has proclaimed the investigation to be good news since Swetnick's allegations will be looked into, calling it "Christmas in October." In his referral, Grassley pointed to Swetnick's subsequent backtrack of her sworn affidavit in an interview with NBC News. He also referred the outlet's report released a day earlier noting that one individual purported to back up Swetnick's claims also backtracked and said that Avenatti was twisting her words. Grassley referred the two for a second investigation on Friday.
He also hit back at claims from Avenatti that Kavanaugh was not investigated prior to his confirmation, arguing that the Judiciary Committee spent ample amount of time looking into Kavanaugh overall. "It's got nothing to do with the claims. It's got something to do with lying to Congress ... For instance he said we ought to investigate Kavanaugh. Well, they had 32 hours to investigate Kavanaugh, and they had 4-5 hours with Dr. Ford. No, this is all about lying to Congress."

Avenatti fires back at Grassley over referral for Kavanaugh accusation probe
Lawyer Michael Avenatti fired back at Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Friday, after Grassley referred the attorney and his client Julie Swetnick for federal investigation. Grassley's office sent the Justice Department two referrals Thursday and Friday asking that Avenatti and Swetnick, who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, be investigated for interfering in Kavanaugh's confirmation process.
"How ignorant is Grassley? He keeps publicly demanding an investigation knowing full well that it will likely never happen - it is all for show. And if it does, he has placed Kavanaugh at risk of being removed from the SCOTUS. This is what happens when you never attend law school," Avenatti wrote on Twitter late Friday.
Swetnick, according to an NBC story published Thursday, said that Avenatti "twisted [her] words" in his Oct. 2 statement that said she had observed Kavanaugh spiking drinks at a party decades earlier. Swetnick initially issued a sworn statement on Sept. 26.
Grassley has referred both for investigation on the basis they may have committed federal criminal offenses of conspiracy, false statements, and obstruction of Congress. "When a well-meaning citizen comes forward with information relevant to the committee's work, I take it seriously. It takes courage to come forward, especially with allegations of sexual misconduct or personal trauma," Grassley said in a statement issued Friday. "But in the heat of partisan moments, some do try to knowingly mislead the committee," he said. "Thankfully, the law prohibits such false statements to Congress and obstruction of congressional committee investigations. For the law to work, we can't just brush aside potential violations. I don't take lightly making a referral of this nature, but ignoring this behavior will just invite more of it in the future."
Avenatti told Law & Crime Grassley was "full of crap" and "knows nothing about the law" because Grassley is not a trained lawyer.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), sent a second letter Friday to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Chris Wray regarding creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti.
Grassley sent a second criminal referral to the DOJ about Michael Avenatti regarding another declaration he submitted to the committee about Brett Kavanaugh.
Friday's criminal referral from the Judiciary Committee is in addition to Thursday's criminal referral of Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick for false statements and deliberate obstruction of a congressional investigation. (violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1001 and 1505)
Grassley said in his letter Friday that he criminally referred Avenatti for a second time because he "twisted [Julie Swetnick's] words."
I write today because of important additional information regarding Mr. Avenatti that has since come to the Committee's attention. In light of this new information, I am now referring Mr. Avenatti for investigation of additional potential violations of those same laws, stemming from a second declaration he submitted to the Committee that also appears to contain materially false statements. As explained below, according to NBC News, the purported declarant of that sworn statement has disavowed its key allegations and claimed that Mr. Avenatti "twisted [her] words."
The creepy porn lawyer lashed out at Grassley on Friday.
CPL: How ignorant is Grassley? He keeps publicly demanding an investigation knowing full well that it will likely never happen - it is all for show. And if it does, he has placed Kavanaugh at risk of being removed from the SCOTUS. This is what happens when you never attend law school.
Avenatti also lashed out at Grassley on Thursday after the first criminal referral, saying the Senate Judiciary Chairman "opened Pandora's box."

GOP Uses Senate Recess To Ram Through Trump's Judicial Nominees
Senate Republicans have learned their lesson from the horror show that was the Kavanaugh hearings by using the current recess as a chance to ram through some of President Trump's judicial nominees.
According to The Huffington Post, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has held two hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee this week even though most senators were absent for the sake of campaigning for the midterms. Rather comically, not even Grassley attended the hearings and instead permitted Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID) to the chair the hearings.
"Not a single Democrat could attend either hearing," lamented HuffPo. "Only one other Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah), was present. That means, between those two hearings, that three of Trump's circuit court nominees and seven of his district court nominees sailed through without any real questions."
Given that President Trump's last judicial nominee was asked by several Democratic senators about flatulence referenced in his high school yearbook, it is highly dubious to say that "real questions" would have been asked of the latest nominee had Democrats been present. The move is a strategic one: ram the nominee through the sham of a committee hearing and vote on it once the midterms conclude.

New questions raised about Avenatti claims regarding Kavanaugh
"I do not like that he twisted my words," one woman says of lawyer Michael Avenatti.
Oct. 26, 2018 / 7:53 AM
When Sen. Chuck Grassley referred attorney Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick to the Justice Department for criminal investigation Thursday, he cited Swetnick's interview with NBC News as evidence the two were trying to mislead the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In the NBC News interview that aired on Oct. 1, Swetnick back-tracked on or contradicted parts of her sworn statement where she alleged she witnessed then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh "cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be 'gang raped' in a side room or bedroom by a 'train' of boys."
NBC News also found other apparent inconsistencies in a second sworn statement from another woman whose statement Avenatti provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee in a bid to bolster Swetnick's claims.

Kennedy: Avenatti has no future in politics
With all the horrible news about pipe bombs and possible assasination attempts, it's the kind of moment, in a nonstop series of ongoing moments, that makes us ask what kind of political beast have we manufactured in this laboratory of democracy?
President Trump is not the mad scientist, if anything he is the creature, but are we ready for the bride of Frankenstein when this adminstration is done?
People like Michael Avenatti have completely miscalculated the president's success and are only reacting to his effects. Avenatti sees chaos, attention and ascension, and feels if he does a really bad impression of the man he's obsessed with, maybe someday he'll land, by dumb luck, in the same position. He won't, because Democrats hate him.
Avenatti rose to fame as the bigger who-a in the Stormy Daniels duo, but he's also the guy who trotted out the cringingly uncredible Julie Swetnick as a gang rape-shrieking character assassin in the Kavanaugh chronicles.
When this woman, with super creep's help, plopped a hot pile of allegations in the midst of Justice Kavanaugh's troubles, it was obvious if the allegations were true his life was over. But what if they're false? That's what Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley is banking on by referring Avenatti and Swetnick to the FBI & DOJ for lying, that this pungent pair cooked up this disgusting ruse in some opportunistic oven hoping to tank Brett but it had the opposite effect, didn't it.
Avenatti responded to the Grassley referral with this statement:
"This is clearly political. And fortunately for us, Senator Grassley isn't too smart – or should I say bright. This was a major mistake on his part. He just cracked open the door and I'm going to drive a Mack truck through it."
What does that even mean? And this is a guy who's going to run for president? He just lost a major battle in the Stormy defamation case, and a different judge ruled he owes another lawyer almost 5 million dollars, and that's in addition to the 1.2 million in personal tax liens.
So he's unethical, blustery, bad at math, unstable, irresponsible and willing to stop at nothing to prove a point, even if continuing on the path to hell destroys everyone around him.
In an era of pipe bombs the last thing we need is another bomb thrower whose claim to fame is being an attention seeking, garden variety sociopath.

Avenatti Accused Of 'Twisting' Words Of Kavanaugh 'Witness'
Michael Avenatti is on the hot seat again after a woman he claimed would back his client's allegations against Brett Kavanaugh has recanted her story. The woman told NBC News that Avenatti, a potential 2020 presidential hopeful, "twisted" her words regarding Kavanaugh.Avenatti released a sworn affidavit that he said supported his client Julie Swetnick's claims that she knew Kavanaugh drugged girls' drinks in high school. The woman now says she never saw Kavanaugh spike drinks.
A woman who Michael Avenatti claimed backed his client Julie Swetnick's allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has recanted her story and is accusing Avenatti, a potential 2020 presidential hopeful, of "twisting" her words. The saga is laid out in a new report from NBC News, which interviewed Swetnick on Oct. 1, days after Avenatti released a sworn declaration in which she accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in the 1980s. In an effort to bolster Swetnick's allegations, Avenatti put NBC reporters in touch with the second woman for a phone interview on Sept. 30. He published her sworn declaration on Twitter on Oct. 2.
But according to NBC, the woman's statements during the Sept. 30 interview were inconsistent with the declaration published by Avenatti. The report comes in the wake of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley referring Avenatti and Swetnick to the Justice Department and FBI for an investigation into whether they conspired to make false statements to Congress regarding Kavanaugh.
Grassley cited Swetnick's NBC News interview as an example of her back tracking on her initial claims about Kavanaugh. In a sworn declaration provided to the committee through Avenatti on Sept. 26, Swetnick alleged that knew Kavanaugh spiked drinks at parties in the 1980s where girls were gang raped. Swetnick claimed that Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, purposely caused girls "to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be 'gang raped' in a side room or bedroom by a 'train' of boys." Swetnick also claimed that she saw Kavanaugh, who was in high school at the time of the alleged incidents, groping and mistreating girls at the parties. She said she saw Kavanaugh waiting in line to gang rape girls.
Kavanaugh vehemently denied the allegations, as well as claims of sexual misconduct from two other women they said he knew in high school and college. The conservative judge was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Oct. 6. Swetnick and Avenatti claimed that witnesses would back up her allegations. Under pressure to produce those witnesses, Avenatti put NBC in contact with the second woman. In her Oct. 2 declaration, the woman said: "During the years 1981-82, I witnessed firsthand Brett Kavanaugh, together with others, 'spike' the 'punch' at house parties I attended with Quaaludes and/or grain alcohol. I understood this was being done for the purpose of making girls more likely to engage in sexual acts and less likely to say 'No.'" She also claimed that Kavanaugh was "overly aggressive and verbally abusive to girls. This conduct included inappropriate physical contact with girls of a sexual nature." But according to NBC News, the woman said in her Sept. 30 phone interview that she "didn't ever think it was Brett" who spiked punch at parties. The woman also told reporters that she did not know Swetnick in high school. They became friends when they were in their 30s, she said. The woman also said that, though she knew who Kavanaugh was in high school, she never saw him behave inappropriate towards girls.
Two days after Avenatti published the woman's declaration, she told NBC that "it is incorrect that I saw Brett spike the punch. I didn't see anyone spike the punch...I was very clear with Michael Avenatti from day one." "I would not ever allow anyone to be abusive in my presence. Male or female," she added. Asked about the discrepancy, Avenatti lashed out at NBC's reporters, saying that he was "disgusted" by their questions. NBC also reports that Avenatti made inconsistent statements about the second woman after he released her declaration on Oct. 2.

Good Republicans: GOP Uses Senate Recess To Ram Through Trump's Judicial Nominees
"Today's hearing and last week's were jokes"
Senate Republicans have learned their lesson from the horror show that was the Kavanaugh hearings by using the current recess as a chance to ram through some of President Trump's judicial nominees.
According to The Huffington Post, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has held two hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee this week even though most senators were absent for the sake of campaigning for the mid-terms. Rather comically, not even Grassley attended the hearings and instead permitted Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID) to the chair the hearings.
"Not a single Democrat could attend either hearing," lamented HuffPo. "Only one other Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah), was present. That means, between those two hearings, that three of Trump's circuit court nominees and seven of his district court nominees sailed through without any real questions."
Given that President Trump's last judicial nominee was asked by several Democratic senators about flatulence referenced in his high school yearbook, it is highly dubious to say that "real questions" would have been asked of the latest nominee had Democrats been present. The move is a strategic one: ram the nominee through the sham of a committee hearing and vote on it once the mid-terms conclude.
Even though the Democrats' treatment of Brett Kavanaugh created a cesspool of toxicity on Capitol Hill, HuffPo laments that the GOP's tactics of ramming through Trump's nominees will intensify the situation.
"Today's hearing and last week's were jokes," said Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond law professor. "No Democratic senators and two GOP senators and no real questions asked?"
At the opening of the hearings last week, Sen. Kennedy announced that Grassley received a statement from the Democratic ranking member Sen. Feinstein giving permission to proceed with the hearings.
"The ranking member not only agreed to hold hearings on Oct. 10, Oct. 17 and Oct. 24, but she also specifically agreed not to object to the timing of these hearings," Kennedy said.
A recent statement from Feinstein's office - the same office that leaked Christine Blasey Ford's letter accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault 36 years ago to the media - says that never happened.
"We were scheduled to be in session at that point," Feinstein spokesman Tom Mentzer told HuffPo. "At no time was there an agreement to do this during recess."
Every Democratic senator on the committee apparently signed a letter to Grassley urging him to postpone any hearings until after the elections. Keep in mind these are the same senators that called for a delay on Kavanaugh's hearing on day 1.
"Holding hearings during a recess, when members cannot attend, fails to meet our constitutional advice-and-consent obligations," their Oct. 15 letter says. "We respectfully request these hearings be postponed until after the recess."
Grassley spokesman Taylor Foy said Wednesday that the hearing was scheduled weeks ago and that the chairman had sent a letter to committee Democrats expressing dissatisfaction with the postponement.
"It would be unfair to nominees to change the schedule at the last minute after they've made their travel arrangements to Washington for their hearing," said Foy.

Grassley sends criminal referral for attorney Michael Avenatti and Kavanaugh accuser
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said Thursday he has referred attorney Michael Avenatti and client Julie Swetnick – who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct – for criminal investigation regarding a potential "conspiracy" to provide false statements to Congress and obstruct its investigation.
Avenatti, who also is a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and works as the attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, represented Swetnick, who accused Kavanaugh during confirmation proceedings of being involved in or present at "gang" and "train" rapes at high school parties in the 1980s. He denied it.
Grassley penned a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray Thursday, claiming Swetnick and Avenatti's allegations were leveled at a "suspicious" time.
"When a well-meaning citizen comes forward with information relevant to the committee's work, I take it seriously. It takes courage to come forward, especially with allegations of sexual misconduct or personal trauma. I'm grateful for those who find that courage," Grassley wrote.
"But in the heat of partisan moments, some do try to knowingly mislead the committee. That's unfair to my colleagues, the nominees, and others providing information who are seeking the truth," Grassley continued. "It stifles our ability to work on legitimate lines of inquiry. It also wastes time and resources for destructive reasons."
Avenatti fired back: "It is ironic that Senator Grassley now is interested in investigations. He didn't care when it came to putting a man on the SCOTUS for life. We welcome the investigation as now we can finally get to the bottom of Judge Kavanaugh's lies and conduct. Let the truth be known."
In the letter, Grassley cited contradictory statements by both Avenatti and Swetnick in media interviews, specifically pointing to an NBC interview on Oct. 1, when Swetnick walked back the claim that she watched Kavanaugh spike the punch at parties.
"I saw [Kavanaugh] giving red solo cups to quite a few girls," Swetnick said in the interview, adding that she didn't "know what he did."

Democrats boycott another hearing for Trump judicial nominees
Democrats boycotted Wednesday's hearing on another slate of President Trump's judicial nominees, continuing their attempts to hinder Republicans' plans to stock the courts with an army of conservative judges. The Judiciary Committee heard from four nominees, including two picks for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, one of the most liberal panels in the country and long a target for Republicans who complain of activist liberal judges.
Wednesday's boycott is the second in a row after Democrats refused to show for a hearing last week on other court picks. Democrats say it is unprecedented to hold hearings on judges while senators are home preparing for the November election. But Republicans said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the committee's ranking Democrat, struck a deal with GOP Chairman Chuck Grassley in August to hold the hearings in late October, knowing the Senate could be out of session at the time.
Sen. Mike Crapo, Idaho Republican, and Sen. Orrin Hatch, Utah Republican, were the only two senators out of the 21 on the committee to attend Wednesday's hearing. Mr. Hatch promised the nominees they'll try to push them through Democratic hurdles. "We're going to do everything we can to get you through by the end of the year," Mr. Hatch told the two circuit court nominees. The picks must first be voted on in committee and then would join a backlog of dozens of judicial nominees already waiting for votes on the Senate floor. "I hope we can get all the ones that have come through committee - we'll do our best," Mr. Hatch said. "I'm going to do everything I can to get it done."
On the docket were Bridget S. Bade and Eric D. Miller both for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, as well as Karin J. Immergut for the District of Oregon and Richard A. Hertling for the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Kristine Lucius, vice president of policy at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, criticized the GOP for moving ahead with the hearings. "Chairman Grassley continues his assault on Senate norms by dismissing the advice and consent process, scheduling hearings during recess and before nominees' American Bar Association ratings are completed, and packing hearings with two circuit court nominees," said Ms. Lucius.
Senate Republicans have made approving Mr. Trump's judicial picks a chief focus of their agenda. They've already set a record by confirming 29 circuit court judges, and also cleared two Supreme Court justices and 53 district court picks.

Byron York: End could be near for House investigation of Trump-Russia investigators
Republicans on Capitol Hill have added enormously to the public's understanding of what happened in the Trump-Russia investigation. They're still doing it. But it will come to a screeching halt if the GOP loses control of the House in next month's midterm elections. The driving force behind the revelations is House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. But a number of other Republicans in the House, including Reps. Trey Gowdy, John Ratcliffe, Bob Goodlatte, Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, and others have also played critical roles. (In the Senate, Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley has done key work, but the most progress has been made in the House because House rules make it easier for the majority to work around minority opposition.)
Among the things Americans know about the conduct of the Trump-Russia probe that they would not have known had Nunes and his colleagues not tackled the subject:
1) The important role that the incendiary allegations in the still-unverified Trump dossier played in the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign. 2) The fact that the dossier was commissioned and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party. 3) The unusual circumstances surrounding the formal beginning of the FBI's counter-intelligence investigation into the Trump campaign. 4) The troubling deficiencies in the FBI's application for a warrant to wiretap onetime Trump campaign figure Carter Page. 5) The anti-Trump bias of some of the top officials in the FBI investigation. 6) The degree to which the dossier's allegations spread throughout the Obama administration during the final days of the 2016 campaign and the transition. 7) Obama officials' unmasking of Trump-related figures in intelligence intercepts. 8) The fact that FBI agents did not believe Michael Flynn lied to them in the interview that later led to Flynn's guilty plea on a charge of lying to the FBI. 9) The role of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS in the Trump-Russia probe.
And more. Nunes and his colleagues learned these things, and told the public about them, over the determined opposition of the FBI, the Justice Department, and Democrats, both on the Intelligence Committee and in the larger House. In fact, it would not be an overstatement to say the FBI and Justice Department fiercely resisted the investigation. They withheld materials, dragged their feet, and flat-out refused to provide information to which congressional overseers were clearly entitled. Sometimes disputes were settled by the intervention of House Speaker Paul Ryan on Nunes' behalf. Sometimes they weren't.

Judicial Watch Files Bar Complaint Against Lawyers For Christine Blasey Ford
Government watchdog Judicial Watch has filed a complaint with the Board of Professional Responsibility in Washington D.C. against the Democrat operatives who legally represent Christine Blasey Ford. Ford is the woman who testified in front of Congress during Justice Brett Kavanaugh's nomination process. The filing was made after it was revealed during testimony that Ford was never informed by her attorneys, Debra S. Katz, Lisa J. Banks and Michael R. Bromwich, that staffers for Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley were willing to fly to her home in California, or anywhere she chose, for a private interview instead of public questioning. The offer was made after Ford said she has a fear of flying, despite regularly taking flights across the country and the globe. "By not informing their client Dr. Ford that Sen. Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee offered in a letter to 'fly female staff investigators to meet Dr. Ford... in California, or anywhere else, to obtain (her) testimony, Katz, Banks, and Bromwich violated the following District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct," Judicial Watch released Friday. "Rule l.4(a) - A lawyer shall keep a client reasonably informed about the status of a matter and promptly comply with reasonable requests for information [and] Rule 1.4(b) - A lawyer shall explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation."
During her testimony, Ford stated she did not know the offer was made by Grassley's office. "We are concerned that ethics rules were violated by Dr. Ford's attorneys during the Kavanaugh confirmation and took action to get accountability," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton released in a statement. "We already filed a Senate ethics complaint against Sen. Cory Booker over his admitted rule breaking and are considering additional steps to address the misconduct committed by Justice Kavanaugh's opponents." Katz is a long time activist for the left and has attended "resistance" rallies since President Trump won the White House in 2016. She also refers to those who work for Trump as "miscreants." In addition to Ford, Bromovich is also an attorney for fired and discraged Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.

74-Year-Old Man Arrested For Threatening to Murder Senators Grassley and Collins Over Their Support For Kavanaugh
74-year-old Ronald DeRisi of Brooklyn was arrested and charged for threatening to murder two U.S. Senators for supporting Brett Kavanaugh.
DeRisi threatened to murder Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Susan Collins (R-ME) according to The New York Post.
Via The New York Post:
In one message left on September 27, DeRisi allegedly said that he had a "present" for Iowa's Grassley, growling, "It's a 9 millimeter. Side of your f-ing skull you scumbag motherf--r."
The message concluded: "Yeah, Kavanaugh - I don't think so."
In another rant aimed at the 85-year-old senator, DeRisi was recorded saying "We're tired of this guy sucking taxpayers' money! Getting a free f-ing ride! How many more years you gonna do it? None! He's a dead man! 9 millimeter, side of the f--ing head! If f-ing Kavanaugh gets in, he's dead f-ing meat! Actually even if Kavanaugh doesn't get in he's dead f-ing meat. 9 millimeter, side of the head, you f-ing old bastard."
Most of the calls were placed from a pre-paid cell phone, according to court docs.
DeRisi took a different tone with Collins, of Maine, calling her a "twit" on the day of the vote.
"I'm gonna get you," he's accused of saying. "You better pray this guy don't get in."

According to the Judicial Watch complaint, by not informing their client Dr. Ford that Sen. Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee offered in a letter to "fly female staff investigators to meet Dr. Ford... in California, or anywhere else, to obtain (her) testimony," Katz, Banks, and Bromwich violated the following District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct:

Every Democrat on the panel skipped a Wednesday hearing on judicial nominations. The Democrats said the hearing should have been canceled because the Senate is not in session ahead of next month's election and they described going ahead with the hearing as unprecedented.
Republican Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said he had already delayed the hearing at the request of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the panel's top Democrat. He said he wouldn't agree to a "last-minute withdrawal."

Record-Breaking: Trump Appoints the Most Appellate Court Judges in First Two Years
Although the Supreme Court has been the apple of everyone's eye lately, it's easy to forget about the federal court of appeals. President Donald Trump, in fact, has set a new record with 29 confirmed picks, The Washington Times reported.
This accomplishment is big for conservatives, especially as Senate Democrats try to limit Trump's sphere of influence on the courts.
"For the most part, they have prioritized appeals court nominees, and that is the right strategy," Curt Levey, president of the conservative Committee for Justice, told The Times.
The appeals courts are, arguably, the most important court level. They serve as a middle ground between district courts at the Supreme Court. And, because the number of cases the Supreme Court in a year is limited, many of the most vital decisions are made in the 13 circuit court of appeals.
Although Trump is willing on the appellate level, the number of district judges he has been able to confirm is slim. He currently sits at 53 confirmed district judges, compared to Bill Clinton's 107 and JFK's 107 at this time during their presidency.
The only other president to come to close to having a similar record at this point in their presidency is George H.W. Bush who had 22 confirmed picks at this time in 1990.
Much of Trump's success in this area has to do with Republican leadership in the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell kept President Obama from filling former Justice Antonin Scalia's vacancy.
Just last week, Trump had 15 judges - 12 district judges and 3 appellate judges - confirmed. It was part of a deal struck between McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The two agreed that the judges would be confirmed and the Senate could go on recess for the next three weeks, up until the election. This was to keep Democrats from stonewalling Trump's picks and utilizing the maximum amount of debate time per nominee, which would equate to the three weeks they're taking off.

McConnell has worked closely with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley. Once a nominee is cleared by the Committee, McConnell processes them.
"Conservative advocates say fulfilling the lower court judgeships, in combination with Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation, will energize the president's supporters ahead of the elections," The Times reported.
The Judiciary Committee plans to hold hearings on Wednesday for one appellate judgeship and five district court nominations. This is the first time the Committee has scheduled hearings while the Senate is on recess.

All told, Mr. Trump has appointed 84 judges to the district, circuit and high courts out of a total of 870 Article III judgeships. There remain 132 vacancies.
The 84 appointments are nearly double the 43 that Mr. Obama had as of mid-October 2010.

Dr.Christine Blasey Ford Is a Professor at Palo Alto University Who Teaches Graduate Students in Clinical Psychology and currently oversees the CIA Undergraduate Internship Program at Stanford University.
The program was developed by CIA-connected Stanford University Psychiatric Professor Dr. Frederick T. Melges. In 1985, Mr. Melges took under his care the homeless woman Lois Lang who assassinated CIA paymaster Nick Deak, whose CIA's black operations monies was controlled by Ralph G. Blasey Jr., Dr. Christine Ford's father.
Christine's brother, Ralph Blasey, worked for FUSION GPS' law firm Baker & Hostetler, that just happens to be tied to the dodgy Russia dossier put together by MI6 operative Christopher Steele that was subsequently used to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.Fusion GPS has done "work" for planned parenthood Hilary Clinton and the Democratic National party.
Further proof that the coup plotters that are attempting to overthrow Donald J. Trump are not leftwing communists, but tied to George H.W. Bush, the former head of the CIA during the Ford Administration in the 1970s. Who also went by the name of George H. Scherf.
Debra Katz, Ford's attorney is the vice chair of the Project on Government Oversight - a group funded in large part by George Soros and his Open Society Foundation.
She is a longtime Democratic activist and donor. Katz has, in the past, defended men accused of sexual assault by multiple women, including former President Bill Clinton and disgraced former U.S. Senator Al Franken (D-MN).
She also has ties to George Soros, according to the Washington Times, through her involvement with the Project on Government Oversight (POGO), an organization that has been directly funded by Soros's Open Society Foundation.
POGO co-signed a letter to Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) with a variety of leftist groups demanding Kavanaugh records, according to FrontPageMag.
She is a part of the "resist" movement, the anti-President Donald Trump group.

Grassley rejects Democrats plea to delay judicial hearings until after recess
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley told committee Democrats Monday that he would move forward with two hearings for judicial nominees during the congressional recess despite their objections.
"It's unfair to the nominees, who have already flown to Washington D.C. and made travel arrangements for their families to further delay this hearing," Grassley said in his letter to the committee's top Democrat, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, pointing to previous postponements for hearings. "And it's unfair to the American people."
"As a result of Democratic delay tactics, there are now 154 current and future judicial vacancies, 63 of which are classified as judicial emergencies," he added. "The judiciary simply cannot afford further obstruction from your side."
The two judicial nomination hearings for the Fourth and Ninth Circuit courts are scheduled for Wednesday and October 24. Congress does not return from recess until after the November 6 midterm elections.
Grassley's decision comes in response to a letter from Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier Monday that called for the hearings to be delayed until after recess.
"We take our constitutional duty to vet nominees for lifetime appointments to the federal bench very seriously," the letter read. It was signed by all 10 Democrats on the committee.
"An essential part of the vetting process is an opportunity to question nominees in a public hearing. Holding hearings during a recess, when members cannot attend, fails to meet our constitutional advice-and-consent obligations."
"We respectfully request these hearing be postponed until after the recess," the letter continued.
Contention over the scheduling of the hearings comes on the heels of a tense confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused by California professor Christine Blasey Ford of sexual assault during a party in the 1980s when they were both in high school.
Kavanaugh repeatedly denied the allegations against him and he was confirmed to the court earlier this month.

In the same letter, Kendall said that his law partner, Katherine Turner, received State clearance in September 2014.
"These State Department security clearances remain active. We obtained them in order to be able to review documents at the Department of State, to assist former Secretary Clinton in preparing to testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi," Kendall wrote in the letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry to say that Kendall's clearance was inadequate.

Hillary Clinton's Security Clearance Removed in August, Judiciary Committee Reveals
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's security clearance was removed at her request on Aug. 30, according to a letter (pdf) from the State Department to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Clearances for five other people Clinton designated as researchers have also been withdrawn on Sept. 20, including Clinton's close aide Cheryl Mills, the State Department said in the Sept. 21 letter.
The letter blacks out the names of other four other Clinton "researchers" whose security clearances were withdrawn.
The State Department has required the Judiciary Committee to protect the information in the letter. The Committee Chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), authorized to release the letter following consultation with the State Department, according to an Oct. 12 news release from the committee.
In the letter, the State Department said that a "two-step process" is employed to identify classified information and security incidents in documents which passed through Clinton's unauthorized email server.
The Department's Bureau of Administration first reviews the documents received from the FBI to identify agency records and determine the current classification of documents. This process was "completing" at the time when the letter was written.
A subset of documents identified as containing classified information "was then reviewed" by Diplomatic Security. All identified and valid security incidents have been forwarded to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security's Office of Personnel Security and Suitability.
"All valid security incidents are reviewed by DS [Diplomatic Security] and taken into account every time an individual's eligibility for access to classified information is considered," the State Department wrote in the letter.
Clinton Private Email Server
Clinton's use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state has become the focus of a criminal probe by the FBI.
The FBI's investigation has been criticized for multiple irregularities, including the drafting by then-FBI Director James Comey of his exoneration statement of Clinton well before the investigation was concluded. Comey had also testified under oath before Congress that he had been instructed by then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch to refer to the investigation as a "matter" rather than a "criminal investigation."
The FBI's probe, which focused on whether classified material was sent via the private email server, was complicated by the fact that at least 33,000 emails were deleted by Clinton's team.
After her lawyers identified the emails to be deleted, Clinton staffer Paul Combetta used a program called BleachBit to permanently delete the emails from the server.
In announcing the findings of the FBI's investigation of Clinton, Comey said at least 110 evaluated emails were deemed to contain classified information. Eight email chains were deemed "top secret" and 36 "secret."
The FBI's analysis, however, did not include the emails that had been deleted by Clinton's staff.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) promised to raise $3 million to support Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to counteract anger over her vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
"I'm going to help raise $3 million to match that," Grassley told Marth MacCallum during an interview on Fox News Tuesday, when asked what he thought of a fundraising effort against Collins in Maine that has raked in about $3 million.
Collins has come under fire from many on the left for supporting Kavanaugh in a narrow confirmation vote, who was accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford and other women.
Kavanaugh has denied the allegations, which remain uncorroborated.
GOP senators who viewed an FBI report regarding an investigation into the allegation said it showed no corroborating evidence. Senate Democrats have argued the investigation was not thorough enough.
Collins said in a speech explaining her vote on the Senate floor and in comments Sunday that she found Ford to be credible, but that there was not sufficient evidence to meet the "more likely than not" standard.
Heidi Hess, the co-director of Credo Action, told The Hill that Collins faces a "tough" reelection fight.
"She made a floor speech saying she believes survivors and saying she was going to vote against the ones who … came forward against Brett Kavanaugh, and that's not something people are going to forget," Hess said.
Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice has said she will consider running against Collins in 2020.
Grassley fired back at accusations from liberal critics that Collins wasn't a feminist.
"That criticism is absolutely abominable," Grassley said. "She's been at the forefront of everything."
"It just goes to show you how narrow the thinking of the opposition to Kavanaugh was that they would say those extremist…positions about a person who has been with them most of the time."

Kavanaugh v. Feinstein - Flawless Victory
Yesterday's dramatic cloture vote to push SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh to a final confirmation vote is one of those political moments of pure victory. It was messy and it was tense, but the ultimate outcome was better than I could have ever originally expected.
Because it's pretty clear to me that we're looking at the kind of big operation run on the Democrats and the Soros Group to expose not only their tactics, the classic "Nuts and Sluts" shaming technique, but also in the process crush certain powerful members of the Democratic party which have been the conduit through which 'the Resistance' has driven our political process to the point of no return.
Christine Blasey Ford's accusation was supposed to create the kind of uproar that would have Kavanaugh withdraw well before any of the dots could be connected by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley and others.
The rapid succession of accusers was supposed to overwhelm the news cycle with outrage porn and the Rebpublicans were supposed to fold like they always have in the past.
But we're well beyond that point. I've been warning about this since Trump began rising in the polls. He out-Alinsky's the Alinskyites and by doing so gives spine to the spineless and energizes a frustrated conservative/libertarian base of voters to go after these obviously corrupt, venal, power-mad freaks that run both the GOP and the DNC.
So, to me, it looks like some form of 'operation' was run on Feinstein and the Democrats here. That the chum that was Brett Kavanaugh - young, rich, white, successful, etc. - they couldn't ignore.
Like flies to a bug zapper they flew too close to the light and were fried unmercifully. Feinstein knows she's done.
This letter tells you so much about what is really going on behind the scenes.

MUST SEE: Grassley Releases Timeline of Ford Investigation - Shows Feinstein and Democrats Lied Throughout Process
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee released a timeline of the sexual assault investigation against Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Senator Grassley released the document on Friday following the FBI's released its investigation to the Senate where it found no evidence to support Christine Ford's claims of sexual abuse 36 years ago. The FBI was not able to find a single witness to confirm Ford's high school assault charges but found several alleged witnesses who disputed the allegations.
Senator Grassley released this document to committee members on Friday.
Actions by Chairman Grassley and the Senate Judiciary Committee related to allegations made and disputed regarding Judge Brett Kavanaugh:
A 38-year member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chairman Grassley has worked to secure a thorough, credible and effective committee process as the U.S. Senate meets its constitutional duty of advice and consent in considering the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Grassley reopened the hearing after four days and 32 hours of testimony from the nominee during the week of September 4, including a closed session available to all Judiciary Committee members to scrutinize any issues or concerns about the nominee that involve confidentiality. The supplemental hearing took place on September 27, and it provided a fair and professional forum for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to share allegations she made about the nominee, and for the nominee to respond to questions and address those allegations.
In addition, Chairman Grassley has conducted extensive review and investigation of the allegations made by Dr. Ford and comments and statements made by others both in news media reports and in messages to other senators that have been given to the Judiciary Committee. A description of those efforts is provided here.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh met with Senator Dianne Feinstein on August 20, 2018. Feinstein did not mention the assault allegations against him at that time or for several weeks later.
Throughout the process Democrat leader Dianne Feinstein and her colleagues hid their knowledge of the allegations against Kavenaugh.
Here is the final timeline released by Chuck Grassley.

8. Kavanaugh's excessive drinking
Kavanaugh conceded in his sworn testimony that he sometimes drank too much alcohol during high school. "I spent most of my time in high school focused on academics, sports, church and service. But I was not perfect in those days, just as I am not perfect today," Kavanaugh said. "I drank beer with my friends, usually on weekends. Sometimes I had too many," Kavanaugh said. But media outlets at times represented his testimony to indicate that Kavanaugh testified that he hadn't drank excessively, even though he confirmed that he did. TheNYT corrected a story that claimed Kavanaugh "said he did not drink to excess." HuffPost, which did not return a request for comment, claimed "former Kavanaugh acquaintances" have "publicly refuted his claims that he did not drink excessively, one of several lies he may have told during his Senate testimony last week." Another HuffPost article claimed that during Kavanaugh's testimony, "he lied under oath - a lot - especially about his excessive drinking." Those articles left out Kavanaugh's admission that he did indeed drink excessively in high school.
9. Brian Karem's scoop that wasn't
CNN contributor Brian Karem claimed in the local paper he runs, The Montgomery Sentinel, that investigators in Montgomery County, Maryland, were probing another "allegation" against Kavanaugh. Local police denied any such investigation.
Bonus: The New York Times issued an apology after a writer who previously stated her opposition to Kavanaugh reported that Kavanaugh once was accused of throwing ice across a college bar.
The FBI investigation found no corroborating evidence for either Christine Blasey Ford or Deborah Ramirez's allegations against Kavanaugh, according to a report released by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley.

@realDonaldTrump
It is outrageous that Poisonous Synthetic Heroin Fentanyl comes pouring into the U.S. Postal System from China. We can, and must, END THIS NOW! The Senate should pass the STOP ACT - and firmly STOP this poison from killing our children and destroying our country. No more delay!
Drug trade war: Chinese fentanyl is fueling the US opioid crisis

Grassley, FEINSTEIN ISSUE SHARP CONDEMNATION OF CHINA'S POOR EFFORT TO STOP FENTANYL SMUGGLING
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and top Democrat on the committee Sen. Dianne Feinstein blasted China at a meeting on international narcotics Tuesday for its lackluster efforts to help stop fentanyl smuggling into the United States.
Fentanyl contributed to 49,000 deaths in 2017, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more deaths than prescription opioids or heroin.
"Last year, 60 percent of U.S. opioid deaths involved fentanyl. That number has increased from only 14 percent in 2010," Grassley, R-Iowa, said.
Feinstein, D-Calif., said China was the primary focus of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control hearing because Chinese chemists produce and ship fentanyl to the United States via international mail. She said that any fentanyl arriving from China is 90 percent pure, which is especially deadly. Grassley noted Americans can purchase fentanyl products from Chinese laboratories online through express consignment or direct mail.
The House overwhelmingly passed a bill on Friday that would make several changes to Medicaid and Medicare programs and address the opioid epidemic at the U.S. border.

Chuck Grassley Accused Of Anti-Semitism For Blaming Kavanaugh Protests On George Soros. Internet Explodes.
"I believe it fits in the attack mode"
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has been accused of anti-Semitism for agreeing that George Soros is helping to orchestrate the anti-Kavanaugh protests.
Last week, as the Senate Judiciary Committee prepared to vote on SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) was cornered in an elevator by two screaming female protesters claiming to be sexual assault survivors.
"Look at me and tell me that it doesn't matter what happened to me," said 23-year-old Maria Gallagher.
Ana Maria Archila held the elevator open and accused Flake of allowing a sexual assaulter to serve on the Supreme Court.
"On Monday, I stood in front of your office," said Archila. "I told the story of my sexual assault. I told it because I recognized in Dr. Ford's story that she is telling the truth. What you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit on the Supreme Court."
Later, it was revealed that Ana Maria Archila was more than just a concerned citizen performing her civic duty but rather a Soros-funded operative as the executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD). John Fund at National Review expertly profiled her background:
Archila is an executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy; she had spent the previous week in Washington engaged in protests against Kavanaugh. Gallagher is a 23-year-old activist with the group. The Center is a left-wing group that is heavily funded by George Soros's Open Society Foundations. Indeed, as of 2014, the Open Society was one of the three largest donors to the group.
Make no mistake. The Center for Popular Democracy is at the heart of the effort to stop Kavanaugh.
On Friday, as the cloture vote on Brett Kavanaugh's nomination loomed closer, Maria Bartiromo of Fox Business asked Sen. Chuck Grassley point-blank if he believed that George Soros was the man behind the screaming protesters cornering senators in the halls. Grassley saw no reason to believe otherwise.
"I have heard so many people believe that. I tend to believe it," Grassley said. "I believe it fits in the attack mode that he has and how uses his billions and billions of resources."
Grassley's hint that Soros orchestrated and funded the efforts, which the evidence corroborates, then prompted New York Times reporter David Leonhardt to accuse the senator of participating in an anti-Semitic smear because Soros is ethnically Jewish.

Grassley ERUPTS! - GOES OFF on Far Left Media Hacks for Bias Against Brett Kavanaugh
GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell along with Republican Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and several Republican senators held a press conference this afternoon on Capitol Hill.
After the initial statements the GOP senators took a few questions.
Senator Chuck Grassley went off on the liberal reporters after the several negative questions on Judge Kavanaugh and this week's FBI investigation.
Senator Grassley, "What I'd like to do when we get all done. Because this is almost rock bottom. I would like to have the future mending things so that we can do things in a collegial way that the United States Senate ought to do in particularly when it comes to Supreme Court nominations. And you folks can have something to do with this. Now, I would never use the word 'fake news.' I consider you folks policemen for our democratic system of government. But I want to show you where some of you have bias. I've had demonstrators in my office for two weeks now. Both for Kavanaugh and against Kavanaugh. And one time the people for Kavanaugh wanted to be interviewed. And they said we are only interested in interviewing people against Kavanaugh! Now that's a bias that none of you should be proud of!.

"I've now received a committee staff briefing on the FBI's supplement to Judge Kavanaugh's background investigation file. There's nothing in it that we didn't already know. These uncorroborated accusations have been unequivocally and repeatedly rejected by Judge Kavanaugh, and neither the Judiciary Committee nor the FBI could locate any third parties who can attest to any of the allegations. There's also no contemporaneous evidence. This investigation found no hint of misconduct and the same is true of the six prior FBI background investigations conducted during Judge Kavanaugh's 25 years of public service.
"I trust that the career agents of the FBI have done their work independent of political or partisan considerations. That's exactly what senators from both sides asked for. Now it's up to senators to fulfill their constitutional duty and make a judgment.
"No one is on trial and the Senate is not a courtroom. But our nation's tradition of fairness still applies. A presumption of innocence is how the American justice system works, and it should remain our guidepost in the Senate. Abandoning that principle would cut a sad path for the Senate as an institution.
"Here is what we know: Judge Kavanaugh's former clerks, colleagues and friends from high school to the present acclaim his personal integrity and character. His neighbors and community members recognize his positive contributions to their schools and churches. And his fellow members of the legal profession know him to be a thoughtful and respectful jurist. His judicial record shows that he is fair and rules impartially and without prejudice.
"Fundamentally, we senators ought to wipe away the muck from all the mudslinging and politics and look at this nomination with clear eyes. Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified nominees to ever come before the Senate. He's served with distinction for twelve years on the nation's most important circuit court and dedicated himself to serving the American public. We know that he will be an excellent justice because he's been an excellent judge.
"It's time to vote. I'll be voting to confirm Judge Kavanaugh."
Senators will be allowed to view the FBI report in a secure room Thursday. Ranking Committee Member Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is reported to have viewed the report after Grassley.

Ex-Boyfriend Of Kavanaugh Accuser Swetnick Says She Liked To "Have Sex With More Than One Guy At A Time"
An ex-boyfriend of Julie Swetnick, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of facilitating gang rapes, said she never mentioned being gang raped to him - but did tell him that she liked to have sex with multiple men at the same time.
Dennis Ketterer, a former Democratic candidate for Congress who is also a former weatherman from a Washington, D.C., news station, told Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in a letter that he had a conversation with Swetnick in which she said she "liked to have sex with more than one guy at a time."
"In fact sometimes with several at one time. She wanted to know if that would be OK in our relationship," Ketterer wrote. "I asked her if this was just a fantasy of hers. She responded that she first tried sex with multiple guys while in high school and still liked it from time-to-time."

Q Research General #4206: The GOP Senator Doxxer Edition
Senators are being told that they will get to review a supplemental FBI background investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday, but only one copy is being made available to senators under restricted conditions.
Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, said that preparations are being made to review the report on Thursday.
Republicans are putting strict limits on the viewing.
Only one copy is being made available to senators, and each party will take turns viewing it in one-hour increments, Durbin said.
"Get this - one copy! For the United States Senate," he said. "That's what we were told. And we were also that we would be given one hour for the Dems, one hour for the Republicans. Alternating.
"We tried to reserve some time to read it. That is ridiculous," he said. "One copy?!"
"Bizarre, it doesn't make any sense," he added.
A senior Democratic aide confirmed the restrictions being placed on viewing the FBI report Thursday.
If all 100 senators decide to review the document and it takes each senator 30 minutes to peruse the document, it could take 50 hours for the entire chamber to examine it.
"Do the math," said Durbin. "That's a lot of time."
A GOP spokesman for the Judiciary Committee declined to comment on the Democratic pushback.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said he expects senators will be able to review the FBI report in the "secure compartmented information facility" in the Capitol Visitor Center, since the space is large enough to hold a large group of senators.
Corker said he has urged McConnell and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) to make multiple copies of the report to senators.

REVEALED: The Man Accusing Blasey Ford Of Lying About Polygraphs
The Daily Caller News Foundation has identified Brian Merrick as the author of a letter alleging that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford gave inaccurate testimony about her experience with polygraphs to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Merrick and Blasey Ford dated throughout the 1990s and lived together for some time, but their relationship ended by the early 2000s.
A witness Merrick identified has denied the allegation he raised.
The Daily Caller News Foundation has identified Brian Merrick as the author of a letter alleging that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford did not provide accurate testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee about her experience with polygraph tests.
Though a witness Merrick names has denied his accusation, Senate Republicans have requested additional information from Blasey Ford in view of the letter. Blasey Ford has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in the early 1980s while the two were teenagers.
Merrick met Blasey Ford in either 1989 or 1990, and the pair dated from 1992 to 1998, according to a letter he submitted to the Judiciary Committee. The letter also indicates that they lived together for a portion of their relationship. The couple met when they were students at Pepperdine University in California.
TheDCNF has independently confirmed that Merrick and Blasey Ford were associated with the same address in southern California while they were dating in the late 1990s. The Wall Street Journal identified Merrick as an ex-boyfriend of Blasey Ford in a pre-hearing article.
Though Merrick wrote that he finds Blasey Ford truthful, he disputed several portions of her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. In particular, Merrick charges that he observed Blasey Ford advising her best friend, Monica McLean, on polygraph tests in advance of job interviews with a federal prosecutor's office and the FBI, which contradicts Blasey Ford's testimony to the Judiciary Committee.
Investigative counsel Rachel Mitchell asked Blasey Ford if she has "ever had discussions with anyone besides your attorneys on how to take a polygraph." Mitchell made it clear she was not referring to countermeasures, but to "tips or anything like that."
Ford said she had not.
McLean denied the charge in a statement released via Blasey Ford's lawyers. (RELATED: Kavanaugh Fight Leaves Supreme Court Shorthanded For New Term)
"I have NEVER had Christine Blasey Ford or anybody else, prepare me, or provide any other type of assistance whatsoever in connection with any polygraph exam I have taken at any time," McLean said.
McLean went to high school with Blasey Ford at the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland. She is a signatory on a letter of Holton-Arms alumnae supporting Blasey Ford and attesting to her "honesty, integrity, and intelligence." She worked for the Department of Justice from 1992 to 2016 and is currently an independent consultant, according to her LinkedIn page.
Merrick wrote that he broke up with Blasey Ford after discovering that she cheated on him.
Elsewhere in the letter, Merrick alleges that Blasey Ford used his credit card against his wishes after their relationship ended and never referred to her alleged encounter with Kavanaugh.
Merrick is currently a high-end real estate broker at Coldwell Banker in the Malibu, California, area, specializing in beachfront and unique properties.
He has received several awards for excellence at Coldwell and is currently designated as one of the top 100 agents of the firm's 92,000 real estate agents worldwide.
Merrick couldn't be reached for comment.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley requested additional information about the polygraph test Blasey Ford took concerning Kavanaugh in a letter sent to her attorneys on Tuesday evening.
"The full details of Dr. Ford's polygraph examination are particularly important because the Senate Judiciary Committee has received a sworn statement from a longtime boyfriend of Dr. Fords, starting that he personally witnessed Dr. Ford coaching a friend on polygraph examinations," the letter reads.
Blasey Ford has accused Kavanaugh of holding her down against her will and groping her while attempting further sexual assaults.

Dianne Feinstein Suggests FBI Probe of Brett Kavanaugh Not Credible
The FBI wrapped up its supplemental probe into the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh and Feinstein is already complaining about the investigation.
Ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) suggested Wednesday afternoon that the FBI probe into Kavanaugh is not credible.
Feinstein was referring to a new report out by Bloomberg claiming the FBI hasn't interviewed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh or Christine Blasey Ford because it doesn't have clear authority from the White House to do so, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
Rather, the White House indicated last week's sworn testimony from both Christine Ford and Brett Kavanaugh would be sufficient therefore an interview is not needed.
Feinstein, the one who started this whole circus by holding onto Ford's letter for several weeks only to have it leaked at the 11th hour is now complaining about the FBI probe.
FOX News' Chad Pergram reported: Feinstein: WH confirmation that it will not allow the FBI to interview..Ford.. Kavanaugh or witnesses identified by..Ramirez raises serious concerns that this is not a credible investigation and begs the question: What other restrictions has the White House placed on the FBI?
Feinstein then attacked Kavanaugh's passionate testimony where he defended himself against smears last Thursday. The Democrat Senator also said Kavanaugh made 'misleading statements' during his testimony.
Feinstein, the same Democrat fraud who kept Ford's letter from her counterpart, Chuck Grassley had the nerve to accuse the White House of hiding information from the Senate.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell predicted the Democrats would say the FBI probe isn't credible during remarks he delivered from the Senate floor.
McConnell knows the Democrats will continue to stall Kavanaugh's confirmation vote; he vowed to hold the vote this week.

The Ford Letter that Feinstein leaked is not the first time she has leaked behind Grassley's back- there was Fusion GPS leak to obstruct in Jan '18 too
Chuck Grassley: Dianne Feinstein's leak could make people 'more reserved' about testifying
by Kelly Cohen
| January 10, 2018 11:30 AM
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said the Senate Judiciary Committee's Russia investigation is moving forward "without any glitch." Grassley said he was unsure what President Trump when he tweeted that the GOP should "take control" of the Russia investigation.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said Wednesday that Sen. Dianne Feinstein's decision to unilaterally release Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson's summer 2017 testimony could make it harder for the committee to get testimony from other witnesses as it continues to investigate Russia.
"It may make a lot of people a little more reserved whether or not they want to cooperate, including in regard to Jared Kushner [...] very high profile person as an example. But we'll continue to move forward," Grassley said. He added that Kushner, the senior adviser to President Trump, is "not at all" off the hook for appearing before Senate Judiciary.
"These transcripts would have been released eventually anyway," Grassley added. "Obviously I was a little disappointed because I had an understanding ahead of time that it'd be released when we both agreed to release it."
Grassley also predicted his committee's Russia investigation would operate "without any glitch" going forward. He said he has shown "cooperation with the other side," and that he agreed yesterday to two interviews wanted by Democrats on Senate Judiciary as part of their probe, and said he sees smooth sailing ahead.
"So I think we're going to move forward without any glitch in the way we operate," he said.
When asked his response to President Trump's latest tweet suggesting the GOP "take control" of the Russia investigation, Grassley said he was unsure what the president meant.
"I don't know what the president has in mind, and I don't think I better comment until I have a discussion with the president on that point," Grassley said. "And I don't intend with the president on that point."
Grassley did not elaborate on two people he has agreed to bring in to interview for Democrats, but Feinstein has sent letters in recent weeks requesting testimony, including from Trump campaign officials Dan Scavino and Brad Parscale.
Feinstein published the transcript from Simpson's August interview with Senate Judiciary on Tuesday afternoon after growing frustrated with "the innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript," she said in a statement accompanying its release.
Feinstein told reporters Wednesday afternoon she wants to find Grassley and " apologize" for releasing the transcript without telling him first.
"But we were written to by the lawyers of the company asking, 'will it be released?' And the reason of course is it's has been used [for] rumor and innuendo and falsity so much that the time came for people to see exactly what was said," she explained.
Feinstein added: "I think in these hearings more should be released than held back because when you hold something back it gives all of the people that have an ax to grind an opportunity to grind that ax to a fine edge and they do. But if the facts are out that isn't a problem."
Simpson and Democrats on Senate Judiciary had urged Grassley to make the testimony public, but Grassley refused and said Fusion GPS should instead testify publicly.
Fusion GPS is a private research firm that was behind the so-called Trump dossier. The dossier was a compilation of intelligence reports put together by former British intelligence office Christopher Steele that contains salacious, mostly unverified allegations tying President Trump to Russia.
Last week, Grassley recommended that the Department of Justice criminally investigate the author, and said Steel he knowingly lied to federal authorities about his communications with U.S. journalists.
Following the release, a Grassley press secretary blasted Feinstein's decision as "confounding.
"Feinstein's unilateral decision was made as the committee is still trying to secure testimony from other witnesses, including Jared Kushner," Taylor Foy said. "Her action undermines the integrity of the committee's oversight work and jeopardizes its ability to secure candid voluntary testimony relating to the independent recollections of future witnesses."z as part of their probe, and said he sees smooth sailing ahead.

Democratic Senator Reveals New Kavanaugh Allegation. Grassley Destroys Him.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley blasted Democratic Senator Chris Coons (CT) on Tuesday for forwarding an incredibly weak allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that wasted the resources of investigators.
The letter, written by Tad Low, alleged that a party took place in the frat house that Kavanaugh was a member of as an undergraduate and that a prostitute performed a public sex act while at the party.
Low writes that he had no idea if Kavanaugh was even at the party as he gave investigators "investigative advice" on how to do their jobs, instructing them to obtain Kavanaugh's calendars and search to see if he attended a frat party in either 1987 or in 1988. The full letter states:
In a response, Grassley ripped the allegations to pieces and then hammered Coons for forwarding such a weak claim to his office for investigation, noting that he was wasting the investigator's resources. Grassley's full letter states:

What did Obama know?
As Solomon notes, a giant question remains that may be solved by the release of the 37-pages of classified information; what did the Obama administration know about this?
Did the FBI notify then-President Obama, Hillary Clinton and other leaders on the CFIUS board about Rosatom's dark deeds before the Uranium One sale was approved, or did the bureau drop the ball and fail to alert policymakers?
Neither outcome is particularly comforting. Either the United States, eyes wide open, approved giving uranium assets to a corrupt Russia, or the FBI failed to give the evidence of criminality to the policymakers before such a momentous decision. -The Hill
Campbell says that his FBI handlers assured him that Obama had been briefed by then-FBI Diretor Mueller on Rosatom's criminal activities as part of the president's daily briefing, however "politics" was the reason that the sale was approved anyway.
Smearing Campbell
After Solomon broke the Campbell story, Democrats viciously attacked Campbell, a cancer-stricken man showered by praise by the Obama administration at a 2016 celebration dinner in Crystal City, VA. Since his undercover work in Russia, Campbell has undergone 35 intensive radiation treatments after being diagnosed with brain cancer and leukemia.
Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News wrote an article slamming Campbell - saying he would be a "disaster" as a witness because some of his claims could not be documented, an anonymous source told Isikoff (Isikoff's Yahoo News article was used by the FBI to support the FISA spy warrant on Trump aide Carter Page, after Isikoff was fed information by Christopher Steele).
Meanwhile, in a move which can only be interpreted as an effort to protect the FBI, the Obama administration and the Clintons, AG Jeff Sessions and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein even tried to suggest the nuclear bribery case uncovered by Campbell is not connected to the Uranium One deal.
Via John Solomon last November:
"Attorney General Jeff Sessions in testimony last week and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in a letter to the Senate last month tried to suggest there was no connection between Uranium One and the nuclear bribery case. Their argument was that the criminal charges weren't filed until 2014, while the Committee of Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approval of the Uranium One sale occurred in October 2010." -The Hill
This rubbed several Congressional GOP the wrong way:
"Attorney General Sessions seemed to say that the bribery, racketeering and money laundering offenses involving Tenex's Vadim Mikerin occurred after the approval of the Uranium One deal by the Obama administration. But we know that the FBI's confidential informant was actively compiling incriminating evidence as far back as 2009," Rep. Ron DeSantis, (R-Fla.) told The Hill, adding "It is hard to fathom how such a transaction could have been approved without the existence of the underlying corruption being disclosed"
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a similar rebuke to Rosenstein, saying the deputy attorney general's first response to the committee "largely missed the point" of the congressional investigations.
Between the DOJ stonewalling Campbell and the MSM smear job he was subjected to after he went public, perhaps it's more important than ever that those 37 pages see the light of day.

Flake Admits He Wouldn't Have Sabotaged Kavanaugh Confirmation If He Wasn't Retiring
Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) admitted Sunday night on 60 Minutes that he wouldn't have thrown the Kavanaugh confirmation into disarray if he was running for office again.
The retiring Senator demanded an FBI investigation into 11th hour claims by several women that the Supreme Court nominee sexually assaulted them, despite the fact that the accusers have foggy memories and dubious, uncorroborated accounts.
When asked if he would have asked for the new probe if he were up for reelection in the November midterms, Flake responded: "Not a chance," adding "There's no value in reaching across the aisle… there's no currency for that anymore. There's no incentive."
After failing to convince the Judiciary Committee to abstain from voting pending an FBI investigation, he insisted that he would vote "no" on the full Senate floor - and was joined by Alaska GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski - one day after she was seen being badgered in a hallways by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
Flake and Murkowski's gambit meant that the Senate wouldn't have the majority required to advance Kavanaugh.
In the meantime, the left continues to pound on Kavanaugh's record, while the FBI probe has bought time for new accusers to emerge. As we reported Sunday, with Washington in a frenzy over the FBI's probe of Judge Kavanaugh, which according to Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley would be no more than a week long and would be limited solely to "current credible allegations", a new and potentially explosive allegation has emerged.
Late on Sunday, Charles Ludington, a former varsity basketball player and friend of Kavanaugh's at Yale, told the Washington Post that he plans to deliver a statement to the FBI field office in Raleigh on Monday detailing violent drunken behavior by Kavanaugh in college.
Ludington, an associate professor at North Carolina State University, provided a copy of the statement to The Post.
In it, Ludington says in one instance, Kavanaugh initiated a fight that led to the arrest of a mutual friend: "When Brett got drunk, he was often belligerent and aggressive. On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man's face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail."
What prompted this latest last minute memory "recollection" by a peer of Kavanaugh's? According to the report, Ludington was deeply troubled by Kavanaugh appearing to blatantly mischaracterize his drinking in Senate testimony.
"I do not believe that the heavy drinking or even loutish behavior of an 18 or even 21 year old should condemn a person for the rest of his life," Ludington wrote. "However … if he lied about his past actions on national television, and more especially while speaking under oath in front of the United States Senate, I believe those lies should have consequences."
The NYT also got an interview out of Ludington, and reported that Ludington said he frequently saw Judge Kavanaugh "staggering from alcohol consumption" during their student years. He said he planned to tell his story to the F.B.I. at its office in Raleigh, N.C., on Monday.
Kavanaugh told outside counsel Rachel Mitchell during the hearing that he has never "passed out" from drinking. "I've gone to sleep," he said. "But I've never blacked out, that's the allegation. And that's, that's wrong."

In a series of tweets, Dallas Woodhouse, the executive director of the NC GOP, said Swetnick - whose claim that Brett Kavanaugh participated in "gang rape" parties with members of his high school social circle has been widely dismissed as "not credible" and even "ridiculous" - is "a criminal" who may have "participated in a conspiracy to facilitate child rape" as an adult, and that "she should go to prison, period." He also claimed that she is guilty of lying to Congress with the explicit knowledge of her lawyer Michael Avenatti, who is seeking to make a name for himself before declaring a bid for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination.

Kavanaugh Lynching Is Dress Rehearsal for Trump Impeachment
Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court was approved on an 11-10 party-line vote Friday in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Yet his confirmation is not assured.
Sen. Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona, has demanded and gotten as the price of his vote on the floor, a weeklong delay. And the GOP Senate has agreed to Democrat demands for a new FBI investigation of all credible charges of sexual abuse against the judge.
Astonishing. With a quarter century in public service, Kavanaugh has undergone six FBI field investigations. They turned up nothing like the charges of sexual misconduct leveled against him these last two weeks.
In his 30 hours of public testimony before the judiciary committee prior to Thursday, no senator had raised an issue of a sexual misconduct.
But if Brett Kavanaugh is elevated to the Supreme Court, it will be because, in his final appearance, he tore up the script assigned to him. He set aside his judicial demeanor to fight for his good name with the passion and righteous rage of the innocent and good man he believes himself to be.
He turned an inquisition into his character and conduct as a teenager into a blazing indictment of the Democratic minority for what they were doing to his reputation and his family.
Rather than play the role of penitent, Kavanaugh did what Clarence Thomas did 30 years before. He attacked the character, conduct, and motives of his Democratic accusers.
And did the judge not speak the truth? With few exceptions, all four dozen Senate Democrats are determined to defeat him, even if that requires them to destroy him.
They rejected Brett Kavanaugh the day he was nominated.
Why? Because the judge is a conservative and a Catholic, hence an unreliable vote to sustain Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that discovered hidden in the Constitution a woman's right to abort her unborn child.
The verdict on the judge came down in the hearts and minds of his enemies the moment that he was named. They had him convicted, before they met him. And once his fate was decided, the only remaining issues were where to find the dirt to bury him with, and how to make it look like they had given Kavanaugh a fair hearing.
Contrast how Kavanaugh, who has served his country with distinction for decades, was treated Thursday, and how Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was treated.
Ford was greeted with courtly courtesy by Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley. No Republican senator asked her a question. Rachel Mitchell, a prosecutor of sex crimes brought in from Arizona, quizzed her as though she were a 15-year-old girl who had just been attacked, not a 51-year-old woman whose uncorroborated accusations were designed not only to defeat a Supreme Court nomination but to destroy the career, family, and future of a federal judge.
After each five-minutes of polite questioning by Mitchell, Democratic senators took turns lauding Ford's courage, bravery, and heroism in agreeing to appear.
Ford's testimony as to what she says happened in 1982 did seem credible and compelling. Yet, to allow her accusation of attempted rape to stand without tough and thorough cross-examination, given the stakes involved, was a dereliction of Senate duty.
Consider. Ford does not recall how she got to the party where the alleged assault took place. She does not know where the party was held. She does now recall how she got home.
None of the other four she said were at the party recall being there. Her best friend, whom she apparently left behind as the lone woman in a house with a pair of drunken rapists, does not recall any such party. Nor does she recall ever having met Kavanaugh.
Consider the other charges leveled against Kavanaugh in the last two weeks: Exposing himself in the face of a freshman girl in a dorm at Yale. Participating in a series of at least 10 parties in high school where planned gang rapes of drunken and drugged women were a regular feature, with the boys lining up outside bedrooms.
In six FBI background investigations of Kavanaugh, interviewing countless friends and contemporaries from high school days, none of this wild and criminal misconduct of the early '80s was mentioned.
"This is the most unethical sham since I've been in politics," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, "I hope that the American people will see through this charade."
They had best do so. For what is being done to Kavanaugh is, if Democrats take control of Congress in November, a harbinger of what is to come. The assault on Kavanaugh, converting a man known for his integrity into a youthful Jack the Ripper in 10 days, is the playbook for what is planned for Trump.

Undecided? Republican 'Moderate' Senators Weigh Kavanaugh's Fate After Grueling Hearing
Four Republican 'swing' Senators huddled in a 30 minute meeting Thursday evening after a grueling hearing wherein Judge Kavanaugh and accuser Christine Ford delivered their testimonies and sparred with lawmakers.
Republican Senators (RINOs) Lisa Murkowski, Joe Manchin, Susan Collins and Jeff Flake huddled for about 30 minutes before the GOP Conference meeting as soon as the Kavanaugh hearing concluded, reported FOX News Congress reporter Chad Pergram.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley scheduled a Committee vote for 9:30 AM ET Friday-the vote must still advance to a full Senate vote.
Republicans have a 51-49 majority in the Senate; Kavanaugh can afford to lose one Republican vote and VP Mike Pence would be the tie-breaker.
As of Thursday evening, Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said he wants to give it some thought.
Update: 47 GOPers are now on board with a 'yea' vote for Kavanaugh. Outstanding GOPers are Collins, Murkowski & Flake.

Two men say they, not Brett Kavanaugh, had alleged sexual encounter with Christine Ford
CHRISTAL HAYES | USA TODAY | 16 hours ago
President Donald Trump says he would be willing to withdraw his Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh if he thought Kavanaugh was guilty of the sexual misconduct allegations against him.
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee has questioned two men who say they, not Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, had the disputed encounter with Christine Blasey Ford at a 1982 house party that led to sexual assault allegations.
The revelation was included in a late-night news release by Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the committee. The release includes a day-by-day view of the committee's investigative work over the last two weeks since allegations surfaced targeting Kavanaugh.
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is pictured testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill.

AP, JOSE LUIS MAGANA
Ford was the first to step forward with allegations and claimed Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her and attempted to pull off her clothes while both were high school students in 1982. Since then a number of accusations have piled on, including that of a physical assault and several other sexual encounters.
Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied all the allegations lodged against him.
The committee has interviewed two men who came forward about the disputed assault at a summer house party. Both told the committee they, not Kavanaugh, "had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of his complaint," the release states.
The previously unknown interviews could add a new layer to the evolving saga on the eve of a possible explosive hearing between Kavanaugh and Ford, though it's unknown whether the men's claims are being taken seriously.

One of the men was interviewed twice by committee staff. He also submitted two written statements, one on Monday and a second, more in-depth statement on Wednesday.
Committee staff spoke to a second man over the phone Wednesday who also said he believed he, not Kavanaugh, had the disputed encounter with Ford. "He explained his recollection of the details of the encounter" to staff, the release states.
Both men were not named. USA TODAY was not able to independently vet the claims.
The committee has said it is investigating all claims made in the Kavanaugh saga, attempting to "make sure no stone was left unturned."
In this regard, the committee has also questioned Kavanaugh about a series of anonymous allegations, including a physical assault on a woman in the 1990s.
The release also outlines a number of others the committee has interviewed, including friends of Kavanaugh and those who know the women who have lodged accusations against him.

Q Research General #4054: The Greatest Show On Earth Edition
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/two-men-told-senate-staffers-they-had-the-encounter-with
WASHINGTON - Senate Judiciary Committee staff interviewed two men who said they believed that they, and not US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, had "the encounter" with the woman who accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers, according to new information released Wednesday night by the committee.
The revelation - which came on the eve of much-anticipated public testimony from Kavanaugh and the woman who has accused him of assault, Christine Blasey Ford - included few details. The committee didn't identify the men, offer details about what they said, state whether committee staff found their accounts credible, or indicate whether there would be any further follow-up.
The committee released a timeline describing how committee Chair Chuck Grassley and his staff had responded to misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh, starting with Ford's account of being attacked at a party in the summer of 1982. On Sept. 24, the committee said that staff interviewed "a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of his complaint."
ADVERTISEMENT
Committee staff interviewed the man again the next day, on Sept. 25, according to the timeline. "He described his recollection of their interaction in some detail," according to the committee.
On Sept. 26, the committee received "a more in-depth written statement" from the man they had previously interviewed. Committee staff also spoke by phone "with another man who believes he, not Judge Kavanuagh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of her allegation. He explained his recollection of the details of the encounter."
A spokesperson for Grassley did not immediately return a request for comment. Lawyers for Ford also did not immediately return a request for comment.
Ford and Kavanaugh are scheduled to testify Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee; Senate Republicans have brought in Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell to ask questions on their behalf. Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied the allegations. In written remarks submitted in advance of Thursday's hearing, Kavanaugh said that he "never did anything remotely resembling what Dr. Ford describes."
"I categorically and unequivocally deny the allegation against me by Dr. Ford.
I never had any sexual or physical encounter of any kind with Dr. Ford. I am not questioning that Dr. Ford may have been sexually assaulted by some person in some place at some time. But I have never done that to her or to anyone. I am innocent of this charge," Kavanaugh wrote.
ADVERTISEMENT
Ford has stood by her accusation. In her prepared remarks, she recounted her claims that at a party while the two were in high school, Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her, and tried to take off her clothes. He covered her mouth with his hand when she tried to scream, she said. Ford said that another high school friend, Mark Judge, was also in the room.
Judge's lawyer submitted a statement from Judge to the committee saying he had "no memory of this alleged incident" and "never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes."
"It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was accidentally going to kill me," " Ford wrote. "Both Brett and Mark were drunkenly laughing during the attack. They both seemed to be having a good time. Mark was urging Brett on, although at times he told Brett to stop. A couple of times I made eye contact with Mark and thought he might try to help me, but he did not."
Since Ford's accusations became public earlier this month, two other women, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick, have come forward to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. Kavanaugh has denied those allegations as well. The committee is only set to hear from Ford and Kavanaugh at Thursday's hearing.

Most normies would prefer a cabal running the government, and public peace and quiet, to decent people running it and all hell breaking loose.
When they see Chuck Grassley needing a police escort, they don't think "it's terrible that Democrats are causing the violence." They want the police escorts to not be needed.
That is why, if President Trump had launched a major campaign against political violence, and thrown 1000 or so Antifa Democrats in a deep hole somewhere, the public actually would have reacted positively.
The White House and Dept of Justice took a big risk with their passive approach to political terrorism. Not to mention it kinds of sucks they decided to let decent Americans get the shit beat out of them, and bad guys continue to own the public square.

Hearing in Doubt? Christine Ford's Lawyer Rips Senate Plan to Have Prosecutor Ask Questions: Not 'Fair and Respectful'
In the letter addressed to Sen. Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Ford's legal team cites Sen. Majority Leader's Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) speech on the Senate floor on Monday afternoon as "flatly inconsistent" with Grassley's promise of a "fair and credible process."
"In our view, the hiring of an unnamed 'experienced sex crimes prosecutor' as Mr. Davis described in his email, is contrary to the Majority's repeated emphasis on the need for the Senate and this Committee's members to fulfill their constitutional obligations," attorney Michael Bromwich wrote. "It is also inconsistent with your stated wish to avoid a 'circus,' as well as Dr. Blasey Ford's repeated requests through counsel that senators conduct the questioning. This is not a criminal trial for which the involvement of an experienced sex crimes prosecutor would be appropriate."

Q Research General #4040: Counting Down For Kavanaugh Confirmation Edition
Why Did the DOJ Redact Text Messages Sent by FBI Employees Strzok and Page 2/2
Inspector General Horowitz is directly referring to the DOJ rules I cited above. He also discusses Departmental policies regarding text messages as it applies to Page and Strzok:
Because these messages were exchanged on government systems and devices, they were never "private." Every Department employee sees a notice each time he or she logs onto the Department's network informing him or her that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in communications exchanged on government systems.
These messages were at all times potentially subject to being reviewed by others (including the Office of Inspector General) and to being disclosed to the public.
Finally, Horowitz invokes the FBI Records Management Training, which specifies: "While all documents are viewed for privilege and redacted prior to release, there is no claim of privilege covering inappropriate or embarrassing statements."
To my knowledge, no one from the DOJ has ever provided a direct rationale to Congress for redactions contained throughout the Page/Strzok texts. Nor have members of Congress aggressively pushed the DOJ for a consistent rationale or approach in regards to the entire redaction process.
The issue of the text redactions differs materially from the redactions in the FISA application renewal on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Unlike the Page FISA application, which details "sources and methods," there should be no such issue in the Page/Strzok texts. There should be no classified information or national security issues present. Exposure of misdeeds does not merit redaction.
I've personally gone through hundreds-if not thousands-of the Page/Strzok texts. I compared originally redacted texts with those for which redactions were later removed or disclosed by Horowitz or Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).
In the process, I've seen numerous instances of questionable actions by FBI employees. However, I've yet to find anything remotely bordering on classified or relating to national security.
The redactions were likely put in place to keep questionable or illegal activities by the FBI and DOJ from being made public. Now, the DOJ is going to have to defend those actions. They've boxed themselves into a catch-22.
If the texts are provided in unredacted format, they will almost certainly reveal that there was never a need for redactions to begin with. If the DOJ continues to insist on keeping those redactions in place, they are going to be forced to provide real and material reasons for doing so.
Congressmen with high-level security clearances, such as Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), are going to rightfully demand to see the underlying, still-unredacted information.
Either way, the texts will ultimately come out. And they will almost certainly show what most of us already know: there was never a legal reason for the redactions in the first place.
The redactions were being used for one purpose and one purpose only-to provide the DOJ with protection from Congressional and public sunlight.

Q Research General #4035: Are You Not Entertained? Edition
Grassley confirmed its Rachel Mitchell
Rachel Mitchell, an Arizona sex crimes prosecutor, has been chosen to lead questioning for Republicans during the potentially explosive hearing involving Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and a woman accusing him of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa made the announcement late Tuesday after a report in the Washington Post identified Mitchell as a top contender for the role.
"The majority members have followed the bipartisan recommendation to hire as staff counsel for the committee an experienced career sex-crimes prosecutor to question the witnesses at Thursday's hearing," Grassley said in a statement. "The goal is to de-politicize the process and get to the truth, instead of grandstanding and giving senators an opportunity to launch their presidential campaigns. I'm very appreciative that Rachel Mitchell has stepped forward to serve in this important and serious role."
Mitchell will take the lead for Republicans in questioning Christine Blasey Ford on Thursday about her allegations that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her and tried to remove her clothes at a party in the early 1980s when she was 15 and he was 17. Democrats still intend to ask questions of Ford.
The use of a sex crime prosecutor to question Ford will save the panel's 11 Republican men from the optics of questioning a woman who has alleged sexual assault.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, Mitchell's boss, could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokeswoman for Montgomery's office could not immediately confirm the report.
In Arizona, others in law enforcement circles were unaware of Mitchell's possible involvement but spoke highly of her.
"She's been a longtime sex crimes prosecutor. She's clearly competent," said Rick Romley, a former Maricopa County attorney.
Paul Ahler, who worked at the County Attorney's Office years ago, described Mitchell as a "really good, solid prosecutor."
"She's one of these career prosecutors who specializes in sex crimes," said Ahler, who now works at the Arizona Attorney General's Office. "It's hard to find those people because a lot of people get burned out on those issues, but it's kind of been her life mission."
In 2014, then-Gov. Jan Brewer recommended Mitchell for consideration as a Maricopa County Superior Court judge.
Much of Mitchell's career has been focused on providing justice to victims of sex crimes. Her work includes cases ranging from child molestation to computer crimes against children.
Earlier this year, Mitchell talked with KJZZ-FM (91.5) in Phoenix about a new protocol manual that the County Attorney's Office introduced to Arizona as best practices to ensure justice for victims.
More: Second woman accuses Kavanaugh of sexual assault
During that January interview, Mitchell said the new protocols would outline the best way to handle investigations into sexual assaults "so we can do the best we can for victims."
Mitchell has trained others on how to make effective use of children who are victims of abuse.
She has also headed the Major Crimes Bureau, where she supervised sex crimes, family violence, and repeat-offender cases.
In 2003, she was recognized as Arizona's outstanding sexual-assault prosecutor. In 2006, she was the County Attorney's Office's Prosecutor of the Year.
Republicans have been searching for days to find a woman to handle Thursday's much-anticipated hearing, which could impact the confirmation prospects of a nominee who could shape the high court's ideology for decades.
All 11 Republicans on the Judiciary Committee - including U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona - are men, a fact that many see as an optics problem for the GOP, which is trying to salvage Kavanaugh's nomination without being seen as trammeling his accuser.
Thursday's hearing comes as the November elections are looming and Republicans see an opportunity to cement control of the court at risk if Democrats retake the Senate.

Grassley Finally Gets His Hands on ORIGINAL Ford Letter From Feinstein - And Boy, the Questions It Raises
September 24, 2018
The alleged original letter that Christine Blasey Ford wrote to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has just been released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). And it immediately raises several questions when you look at it.
This was the letter sent to Feinstein that was later leaked when only Ford, Feinstein and her staff and Rep. Anna Eshoo and her staff had access to it to The Intercept.
Interestingly, while it says to keep it confidential until we speak, it doesn't say keep the allegation secret and it offers to meet with her which raises the question if Feinstein ever did meet with her.
Here it is:
But there are several questions the letter raises.
First, if you look at the letter it appears to have varying fonts. And strangely, the line in which Brett Kavanaugh is named appears different and added, almost as though it were an afterthought. And the print one Judge's name appears different as well.
She claims in the letter that there are 4 people apart from herself who we now know she's claiming were at the party - Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, Patrick Smyth and her lifelong friend Leland Keyser. This varies from what she told her therapist - that there were four boys in the room. It also differs from her account that she gave after the story came out where she said the therapist's notes were a 'mistake' and she said there were four boys at the party including the two in the room.
And the Washington Post when they ran the story about her claims originally never mentioned there was a girl at the party, despite the fact that they not only knew Leland Keyser was there but knew that Keyser did not support the allegation. They didn't include Keyser's take in their article.
Ford says that she ran out of the house and went home. So that raises the question, how then does she not know where the house was? How did she get home? As a 15-year-old she didn't drive.
And perhaps more to the point, if she thought that Kavanaugh was trying to rape her, why would she run out of the house and not try to secure the safety of her friend who she just left in the house. And she never discussed it with the friend?
She also claims that she got "medical treatment" for the incident. But based on what we know now, this isn't quite true. She says she never told anyone until she told her therapist in 2012. And even then the therapist notes don't reflect that she named Kavanaugh.
Then interestingly, she tells Feinstein that she can be contacted because she is vacationing in the "mid-Atlantic" and will be back in California August 10 if Feinstein wants to talk with her. So the question might be was she flying or driving back and forth? Given her alleged fear of flying which made her delay the hearing.
Then, interestingly, it has her name, "Christine Blasey" not Blasey Ford and no signature, almost as though it were an email.
But the inconsistencies and the odd fonts on the name almost as though it filled in later may be one of the reasons that Feinstein held the letter back.

Grassley to Feinstein: We won't delay Kavanaugh hearing

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is rejecting a request from Democrats to delay a Thursday hearing where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford are set to testify.
Grassley sent a letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the committee, saying he would "respectfully decline" her request to postpone until the White House ordered an investigation into two sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh.
"I respectfully decline your request. I am not going to silence Dr. Ford after I promised and assured her that I would provide her a safe, comfortable, and dignified opportunity to testify," Grassley wrote in the letter.

Hearing in Doubt? Christine Ford's Lawyer Rips Senate Plan to Have Prosecutor Ask Questions: Not 'Fair and Respectful'
by Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Sep 24th, 2018, 10:00 pm
In the letter addressed to Sen. Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Ford's legal team cites Sen. Majority Leader's Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) speech on the Senate floor on Monday afternoon as "flatly inconsistent" with Grassley's promise of a "fair and credible process."

"It is also inconsistent with your stated wish to avoid a 'circus,' as well as Dr. Blasey Ford's repeated requests through counsel that senators conduct the questioning. This is not a criminal trial for which the involvement of an experienced sex crimes prosecutor would be appropriate."
Ford's team requested the identity of the sex crimes prosecutors the Committee would invite to the hearing along with their resumes.
The letter also blasts the the White House's refusal to order an FBI investigation into Ford's allegation.

GOP opens door to holding Kavanaugh committee vote this week
BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 09/24/18 09:34 PM EDT
Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are opening the door to the panel voting on Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination this week.
GOP senators on Monday said that the committee could vote this week, while deferring a decision to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the Judiciary Committee chairman.
GOP Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), a member of the Judiciary Committee, told reporters he would defer to Grassley on the timing of the vote but "Friday would be possible."
Under that timeline, senators would vote on Kavanaugh's nomination in the Judiciary Committee roughly a day after he and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing him of sexual assault, are testifying publicly.
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) predicted the panel would not vote on Thursday
but that he would be "okay" with the panel voting on Thursday or Friday.

Kavanaugh Breaks Silence: "I'm Not Going Anywhere…I Was Never At Any Such Party"
Mon, 09/24/2018 - 19:02
Breaking his public silence for first time since the hearings last month, Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, appeared alongside his wife, on Fox News Channel's "The Story with Martha MacCallum" tonight to address the sexual misconduct allegations that have put his confirmation at risk of unraveling.
As we detailed earlier, Brett Kavanaugh defied his accusers on Monday when he said, in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), that he will "not be intimidated into withdrawing" his Supreme Court nomination and staunchly denied the accusations, calling them a "grotesque and obvious character assassination" and "a coordinated effort" to drive him out on the nomination.
Ahead of tonight's interview, President Trump tweeted about the interview and reiterated that "this is an outstanding family who must be treated fairly!"
And in tonight's first interview since the allegation, Kavanaugh began assertively, saying:
"I'm not going anywhere…
"I want a fair process where I can defend my integrity, and I know I'm telling the truth," the judge said.
"I know my lifelong record and I'm not going to let false accusations drive me out of this process…
I have faith in God and I have faith in the fairness of the American people."
In the interview, Kavanaugh emphatically denied Ford's claim against him, telling McCallum that he was a virgin through high school and for "many years after."
"I did not have sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter. The girls from the schools I went to and I were friends."
"I was never at any such party," Kavanaugh said.
"The other people who alleged to be present have said they do not remember any such party. A woman who was present, another woman who was present who was Dr. Ford's lifelong friend has said she doesn't know me and never remembers being at a party with me at any time in her life."
MACCALLUM: Nothing ever physical? You never met her? Never kissed her? Never touched her, that you remember?
KAVANAUGH: Correct. I have never had any physical or sexual activity with Dr. Ford. I've never sexually assuaulted anyone, in high school or otherwise.

Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Ford Donated to Clinton Campaign and DNC; Is Daughter of CIA Operative and VP of Security.
Brett Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Ford had allegedly donated to the Clinton Campaign using two separate location, potentially in violation of FEC laws, FEC donation documents show, in addition to her brother working for the CIA for numerous years.
Christine Ford, a California Psychologist and Professor at Stanford University, came out on Sunday after Feinstein revealed a letter by the woman days earlier about an alleged sexual assault that had happened 35 years ago at a Maryland college party.
The letter detailed, from Mrs. Ford's perspective, about how Kavanaugh allegedly forced her onto a bed, laid on her before several other men in the room dog-piled onto her, before escaping the house and fleeing. CNN also obtained the letter in full, which also went into a little more detail about the incident:
At one point when REDACTED jumped onto the bed the weight on me was substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other. After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom. I locked the bathroom door behind me. Both loudly stumbled down the stair well at which point other persons at the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home.
I have not knowingly seen Kavanaugh since the assault. I did see REDACTED once at the REDACTED where he was extremely uncomfortable seeing me.
I have received medical treatment regarding the assault. On July 6 I notified my local government representative to ask them how to proceed with sharing this information . It is upsetting to discuss sexual assault and its repercussions, yet I felt guilty and compelled as a citizen about the idea of not saying anything.
Despite the claims, no police records about the incident, medical documents or other witnesses have come forth fully verifying the incident took place as described. One of the men has come forth recently, stating no recollection of a party ever occurring, and 65 women have come to the defense of Brett Kavanaugh.
Despite vocal opposition from most Republican Senators, and Trump's dismissal of the accusations, Senator Chuck Grassley has invited the accuser to testify in front of the Judiciary Committee, which has push backed the final vote on Kavanaugh. However, in recent days, more info has come out about the accuser in question that puts the validity of her accusations into question, aside from criticisms of the allegation not being reported and investigated at the time. In some cases, the info that has been revealed and discovered has raised eyebrows among closely-watching citizens and independent news organizations.

BOOM! Judge Kavanaugh to Provide Senate With Calendars From Summer of 1982 Showing He Was Out of Town Most of Summer!
Judge Brett Kavanaugh will provide the Senate with calendars from the summer of 1982 to back up his claims he was never at a party described by accuser Christine Ford.
Christine Ford has made an uncorroborated accusation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her decades ago at a drunken high school pool party that no one else, including the four people she claims were at the party, remembers.
Kavanaugh has categorically denied the allegations and told Senator Orin Hatch (R-UT) last week he wasn't even at the party in question.
Brett Kavanaugh has calendars from the summer of 1982 showing he was out of town most of the summer vacation or with his parents.
The New York Times reported:
Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh has calendars from the summer of 1982 that he plans to hand over to the Senate Judiciary Committee that do not show a party consistent with the description of his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, according to someone working for his confirmation.
The calendars do not disprove Dr. Blasey's allegations, Judge Kavanaugh's team acknowledged. He could have attended a party that he did not list. But his team will argue to the senators that the calendars provide no corroboration for her account of a small gathering at a house where he allegedly pinned her to a bed and tried to remove her clothing.
The calendars show, according to the person working for his confirmation, that he was out of town much of the summer at the beach or away with his parents. When he was at home, the calendars list his basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and college interviews. A few parties are mentioned but include names of friends other than those identified by Dr. Blasey.
A fourth alleged witness in Christine Blasey Ford's alleged sexual assault accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh broker her silence Saturday night and denied the allegations.
Leland Ingham Keyser says she has no recollection of EVER BEING AT A PARTY with Brett Kavanaugh and does not know him.
Ms. Keyser is a lifelong friend of Christine Blasey Ford.
THERE ARE NO WITNESSES WHO HAVE CONFIRMED CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD'S ACCUSATIONS!
NOT ONE!
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley rescheduled the hearing for Thursday to hear testimony from Kavanaugh and Ford.
Christine Blasey Ford's 11th hour "me too" ambush was a plot by Feinstein and the Democrats to derail Trump's SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Grassley Sets Thursday Hearing for Kavanaugh as Blasey Ford Continues to Make Demands
In this episode of, "As the Senate Turns on the Finger of Christine Blasey Ford", Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has rescheduled the planned Monday hearing to Thursday to hear testimony from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Ford has made an uncorroborated accusation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at decades ago at a drunken high school pool party that no one else, including the four people she claims were at the party, remembers. The announcement by Grassley comes after weekend negotiations with Blasey Ford's attorneys led by Hillary Clinton fundraiser Debra Katz.
Chairman Grassley and Ford attorney Katz.
Announcement by Grassley:
September 23, 2018
RESCHEDULED NOTICE OF COMMITTEE HEARING CONTINUATION
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary hearing on the nomination of the Honorable Brett M. Kavanaugh to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States will continue on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 226 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
By order of the Chairman.
Negotiations for the conditions of the hearing are ongoing, however. Still to be resolved, according to reports, are who will speak first, who will do the questioning, however Grassley sent an email to Blasey Ford's attorneys reminding them of the committee's power to run the hearing as it sees fit.
The New York Times:
The woman who has accused Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers has committed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, her lawyers said on Sunday. The lawyers said some details - including whether an outside lawyer will question her - still needed to be resolved, but that those issues would not impede holding a hearing.
The agreement, reached after an hourlong negotiating session Sunday morning between the lawyers and committee aides...
The Washington Post:
Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) thanked Ford for accepting the invitation in an email that, according to people familiar with its contents, also reminded her attorneys that "the committee determines which witnesses to call, how many witnesses to call, and what order to call them and who will question them. These are nonnegotiable."
Blasey Ford's attorneys issued a statement confirming their client will testify in an open hearing, even though they say there are "actual threats to her safety and her life."

A spokesman for the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is confirming that the committee will hold a public hearing Thursday on the sexual assault allegation that's been made against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
That word comes from Taylor Foy, an aide to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, soon after lawyers for Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford said in a statement that they were "committed to moving forward with an open hearing" on that day.
The Ford lawyers' statement also said further details about the upcoming hearing are still to be worked out.
At issue is Ford's accusation stemming from an incident she says took place when she and Kavanaugh were teenagers.

GOP Aide In Kavanaugh Confirmation Resigns As Sexual Harassment Claim Surfaces
Garrett Ventry, a communications adviser to the Senate Judiciary Committee, has abruptly resigned after NBC News inquired about a past sexual harassment allegation against him.
He had been assisting the committee, led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), after a woman came forward to accuse President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault in the 1980s.
According to NBC News, a female Republican staffer working for the North Carolina General Assembly said Ventry sexually harassed her in 2017 when Ventry was working for North Carolina House Majority Leader John Bell. Sources told the outlet that he was dismissed over that incident and because parts of his resume were found to be embellished.
Ventry denies the harassment accusation. He submitted his resignation Friday night, he told The Washington Post.
Taylor Foy, a Senate Judiciary Committee spokeswoman, said in a statement that Ventry simply resigned "to avoid causing any distraction from the work of the committee."

Witness named by Kavanaugh accuser becomes third to deny being at party
A witness, reportedly named by Christine Blasey Ford as one of the people at the high school party where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh allegedly sexually assaulted her, told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Saturday she was not there. The attorney for Leland Ingham Keyser told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Keyser does not remember being at the party Ford described as the location of the alleged assault. "Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford," Keyser said in the statement. CNN reported Keyser is a lifelong friend of Ford's. Keyser, whom the New York Times reported is one of the people Ford named as being in attendance at the party, is the third witness who has denied knowing about the alleged assault. Mark Judge and Patrick Smyth said earlier this week they did not remember the party in question.
Kavanaugh has denied Ford's allegation. The news comes after Ford, through her attorneys, tentatively agreed to testify on Thursday, after days of negotiations over the timing and conditions of her appearance before the panel. Committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, had repeatedly extended deadlines set for Ford's team on the decision, including three on Friday and one at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Grassley threatened to proceed with a committee vote on Kavanaugh's nomination Monday if he did not hear from Ford. "Five times now we [have] granted extension for Dr Ford to decide if she wants to proceed [with] her desire stated one [week] ago that she wants to tell senate her story," Grassley tweeted Friday. "Dr Ford if u changed ur mind say so so we can move on I want to hear ur testimony. Come to us or we to u." The extended discussions have been labeled a delaying tactic by some Republicans. Ford's attorneys and Grassley's aides will reportedly continue negotiations Sunday on the details of the conditions of Ford's testimony, per the New York Times.

(Reuters) - A media adviser helping the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee respond to a sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has resigned amid allegations of his own sexual misconduct, a committee spokesperson said on Saturday.
Garrett Ventry, 29, a communications aide to Senate Judiciary committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, was "one of several temporary staff brought on to assist in the committee's consideration of the Supreme Court nomination," a Senate Judiciary Committee spokesperson told Reuters.
"While he strongly denies allegations of wrongdoing, he decided to resign to avoid causing any distraction from the work of the committee," the spokesperson said.
Ventry was previously fired from the office of North Carolina House Majority Leader John Bell because a female employee of the North Carolina GOP General Assembly accused him of sexual harassment, according to NBC.
In a statement to NBC, Ventry denied any wrongdoing.
Christine Blasey Ford claims Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party 36 years ago. Ford has until 2:30 p.m. Saturday to notify the committee whether she plans to testify before congress, according to the New York Times.

Kavanaugh Accuser's Lawyers Propose Further Negotiation to Accept Testifying Next Week
Lawyers for the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of a decades-old assault have requested to further negotiate Saturday afternoon terms of their client's testimony to a congressional committee next week.
A letter from Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers claims that Ford, a California psychology professor, is accepting to testify next week, however, the letter then provides the caveat that terms need to be further negotiated. The letter requests a time on Saturday afternoon to continue negotiations.
Ford's lawyers wrote:
Dr. Ford accepts the Committee's request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct next week. Although many aspects of the proposal you provided via email, on September 21, 2018, at 2:33 pm, are fundamentally inconsistent with the Committee's promise of a fair, impartial investigation into her allegations, and we are disappointed with the leaks and the bullying that have tainted the process, we are hopeful that we can reach agreement on details. Can we set up a time for later this afternoon to continue our negotiations?
Sincerely,
Debra S. Katz
Lisa Banks
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley has repeatedly given Ford and her attorneys offers for allowing Dr. Ford to testify about her accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh from nearly three decades ago. Grassley has given Ford's lawyer several extensions on deadlines to come to terms that Ford can agree to.
"Five times now we hv granted extension for Dr Ford to decide if she wants to proceed w her desire stated one wk ago that she wants to tell senate her story Dr Ford if u changed ur mind say so so we can move on I want to hear ur testimony," Grassley tweeted late Friday night.
"Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a man of integrity with impeccable credentials and a proven judicial philosophy," Vice President Mike Pence told hundreds at the Values Voter Summit Saturday. He called the way Democrats' conduct through the confirmation, "a disgrace, and a disservice to the Senate and the American people." He expressed confidence that Senate Republicans would "manage this confirmation properly with the utmost respect for all concerned." He then said he was sure that "Judge Brett Kavanaugh will soon be Justice Brett Kavanaugh and take his seat on the Supreme Court of the United States of America."

As TGP's Kristinn Taylor reported, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced late Friday night via Twitter that he has caved on his 10 p.m. EDT deadline for Christine Ford to decide on testifying before the committee about her uncorroborated charges accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting decades ago at a drunken high school pool party.
Grassley also said he felt he was "playing 2nd trombone in the judiciary orchestra and Schumer is the conductor"
Friday night's extension was the fifth one given to Christine Ford.
The counteroffer given by the Senate Republicans to hold the hearing next Wednesday still stands-Ford must respond to the Judiciary Committee with her prepared testimony and biography Saturday at 2:30 PM.
CNN reported:
The Senate Judiciary Committee has given Ford's attorneys a deadline of 2:30 p.m. ET Saturday to respond with their decision, a committee source confirmed to CNN.
The panel has proposed holding a hearing next Wednesday in which it would hear testimony from both Kavanaugh and Ford, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
Grassley said Friday that if Christine Ford does not agree to terms by the deadline given, the Senate will hold the vote Monday.
Investigative reporter Paul Sperry said, "I am told that if Rita Katz fails by 2:30 pm today to agree to a hearing -and under Grassley's terms of 1) Kavanaugh goes after Ford, 2) no other witnesses & 3) no restrictions on who asks questions - then Grassley is going ahead with committee vote on Monday. Period."

(Reuters) - A media adviser helping the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee respond to a sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has resigned amid allegations of his own sexual misconduct, according to NBC.
Garrett Ventry, 29, a communications aide to Senate Judiciary committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, was reportedly fired from the office of North Carolina House Majority Leader John Bell because a female employee of the North Carolina GOP General Assembly accused him of sexual harassment, NBC reported Saturday.

Don't forget a few months back Chuck Grassley met with @Jack.
He reported they discussed the importance of keeping social media platforms open for free discussion of different points of view.
Nice fuckin job there, Chuck.
My grandmother could have arrived at that pointless dishonest pablum.
You're a US senator and twatter is blatantly silencing those of us with non-leftist opinions.
They are abusing their monopoly position.

BOOM! Sen. Grassley Tells Christine Ford's Liberal Hack Attorneys NO DICE! - On Their Several Lunatic Demands
Senate Republicans made a counteroffer to Brett Kavanaugh's accuser Christine Blasey Ford early Friday afternoon.
Ford's lawyers have until 10 PM Friday to work out the terms for next week's hearing, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said Friday evening.
Christine Ford was originally supposed to give her prepared testimony and biography to the Senate Judiciary committee by Friday 10 AM ET-they have extended the offer to 10 PM ET.
Senator Grassley said he is providing a notice to vote to occur Monday if Christine Ford does not respond by 10 PM ET tonight or if Ford decides not to testify.
Senator Grassley also denied the outlandish requests from the lunatic attorneys representing Christine Ford.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will NOT allow Christine Ford to speak first - that is not how the rule of law works.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will NOT allow Christine Ford to stall the proceedings -she is only required to tell her 36-year-old story.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will NOT allow only senators to question Ford - a female staff attorney will be questioning Ford (this was a Democrat tactic to berate and harass white men in their campaign ads. Democrats are sick people.)

Q Research General #3960 MUSIC IS ABOUT TO STOP Edition
It appears Senator Chuck Grassley has had enough. In a statement issued tonight, the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman says he's giving Christine Blasey Ford and her legal team a deadline of 10pm tonight to respond to panel's testimony offer.
As The Hill reports, the committee announced on Friday that the Monday hearing - where both Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, had been invited to speak - was being called off.
Instead, Grassley said in a statement Friday that he is giving Ford's lawyers until 10 p.m. on Friday to respond to the GOP request for her to testify on Wednesday.
"I'm providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford's attorneys don't respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify," Grassley says.
"In the event that we can come to a reasonable resolution as I've been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony. We cannot continue to delay."
If they do not, or if Ford declines to testify, Grassley said the Judiciary Committee will vote Monday on Kavanaugh's nomination.
Democrats lambasted the GOP maneuver.
All 10 Democrats on the Committee wrote a letter to Grassley saying "the Committee majority's treatment of Dr. Ford has unquestionably been worse than the disgraceful treatment that Anita Hill received 27 years ago." Hill accused now-Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991 and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle were criticized for their handling of the situation.
President Trump tonight reconfirmed his support for Kavanaugh and said he expected him to get confirmed.
Meanwhile, social media is alive with #WhyIDidntReport tweets of abused women explaining why they did not report their abuse, as if in some way this provides cover for Ford's lack of reporting or remembering the event until many years later.

Grassley Sends Final Deadline for Kavanaugh Accuser's Lawyers: 10 P.M. Friday or We'll Vote Monday
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) set what he says is the final deadline Friday for Judge Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers to agree to have her testify at a hearing next week.
If Ford's attorneys do not reach an agreement to one of the several options they have been offered for their client to tell her side of the story, Grassley will schedule a committee vote on Kavanaugh for Monday.
"Despite the fact that the July 30th letter remains hidden, my committee has been investigating the allegations and has heard from multiple witnesses since Sunday," Grassley said in a statement to reporters after Ford's attorneys, led by Democratic activist Deborah Katz, failed to respond first to a 10:00 a.m. deadline to agree to testify Monday and then a concession offer of 5:00 p.m. to testify Wednesday.
The statement continues:
Ms. Katz has discussed Dr. Ford's allegations in numerous media interviews and said on TV Monday morning that Dr. Ford wants to share her account with the Senate Judiciary Committee. It's Friday night and nothing's been agreed to despite our extensive efforts to make testimony possible. I'm extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o'clock this evening. I'm providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford's attorneys don't respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify. In the event that we can come to a reasonable resolution as I've been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony. We cannot continue to delay.
Grassley's move represents the firmest language yet that Senate Republicans have reached the end of their patience since Ford's allegation that Kavanaugh had groped her at a high school party more than 35 years ago threw the confirmation process into disarray last weekend. Grassley set a full public hearing under oath, only for Ford's lawyers to repeatedly not agree to have their client testify.
In the intervening time, those lawyers have reportedly issued a fluid set of demands including excluding outside counsel from asking any questions at the hearing, having Ford not be required to appear in the same room as Kavanaugh, testifying in the opposite order of an actual trial with the accuser having the last word and the accused, Kavanaugh, having no opportunity to reply, and finally, Friday, claiming a further delay was needed because Ford was unwilling to board a plane for fear of confined spaces.
The Judiciary Committee also released the text of the previous offer, originally made with 5 p.m. deadline, that was put to Ford's lawyers after they failed to meet the 10 a.m. deadline for the Monday hearing. "The Chairman has offered the ability for Dr. Ford to testify in an open session, a closed session, a public staff interview, and a private staff interview," the offer letter explains. "The Chairman is even willing to fly female staff investigators to meet Dr. Ford and you in California, or anywhere else, to obtain Dr. Ford's testimony."
The letter goes on to refuse some of Ford's lawyers' most controversial demands:
Some of your other demands, however, are unreasonable and we are unable to accommodate them. You demanded that Judge Kavanaugh be the first person to testify. Accommodating this demand would be an affront to fundamental notions of due process.
...
You also demanded that only senators be permitted to ask questions of the witnesses. We are also unable to accommodate this demand. There is no rule of the Senate or the Committee that precludes staff attorneys from asking witnesses questions. We reserve the option to have female staff attorneys, who are sensitive to the particulars of Dr. Ford's allegations and are experienced investigators, question both witnesses.

WASHINGTON, DC - Professor Jonathan Turley, a top national legal expert on government investigations, commented on Thursday about Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision to bring in U.S. Attorney John Huber. Turley called it "brilliant"to combine all the powers of the U.S. Department of Justice's inspector general with a prosecutor who can bring charges, seek indictments, and get results for President Trump far more quickly than a second special counsel.
Turley is a law professor at George Washington University, who attained national fame during the 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton as a top legal authority on special counsels and congressional investigations of government wrongdoing, including criminal wrongdoing. His reputation has only grown during the intervening 20 years, as he has weighed in on scandals and investigations of public officials from both political parties.
Sessions sent a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC), and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), informing them that Huber is conducting a full-fledged criminal investigation into all the matters Republicans are calling for a special counsel to investigate. Huber has been investigating these possible crimes for five months, since November 13, 2017.>>3122255

Juanita Broaddrick Offers to Fill in for Christine Blasey Ford if She Can't Make it on Monday
Accuser Christine Ford's attorneys said in an email to the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday that Ford is open to testifying next week-but not on Monday.
Once again, Christine Ford and her attorneys think they run the Senate.
On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley wrote, citing Committee rules, that Christine Ford has until Friday morning at 10 AM to hand over her biography and prepared testimony if she wished to testify Monday.
Now Ford's lawyers are demanding more time... and they still want the FBI to investigate her 36-year-old groping accusations which she remembered in 2012 and never told anyone about at the time.

BREAKING: Christine Blasey Ford's Lawyers Say She is Open to Testifying - BUT NOT MONDAY
Accuser Christine Ford's attorneys said in an email to the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday that Ford is open to testifying next week-but not on Monday.
Once again, Christine Ford thinks she runs the Senate.
On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley wrote, citing Committee rules, that Christine Ford has until Friday morning at 10 AM to hand over her biography and prepared testimony if she wished to testify Monday.
Now Ford's lawyers are demanding more time...
"As you are aware, she has been receiving death threats, which have been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and she and her family have been forced out of their home. She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety," Ford's attorney's wrote in an email first reported by The New York Times.
FOX News Congress reporter Chad Pergram with more on the email Ford's attorneys sent the Committee:
Christine Blasey Ford is trying to run the Senate with her outrageous demands.
Tuesday night Ford's lawyers demanded the FBI conduct an investigation into the decades-old sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh prior to the Senate holding a hearing.
Christine Ford's lawyer, Lisa Banks said in a statement Wednesday evening that the Committee's stated plan to move forward with the hearing that has only two witnesses is not a fair or good faith investigation.
"There are multiple witnesses whose names have appeared publicly and should be included in any proceeding," Ford's attorney argued.
The Republicans need to put an end to this charade, hold the vote and confirm Judge Kavanaugh.

Q Research General #3913: "How about a nice game of chess?" Edition
Grassley Sends Letter to Feinstein Demanding Copy of Unredacted Letter Christine Ford Sent Feinstein in July
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is on a roll.
Senator Grassley (R-IA) sent ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) a letter demanding an unredacted copy of the letter accuser Christine Blasey Ford sent Senate Democrats in July.
Grassley suggested Feinstein deployed Christine Ford's letter strategically for political gain after sitting on it for seven weeks.
Feinstein also circulated Christine Ford's unredacted letter to her staff -which of course was subsequently leaked to the media-Grassley, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee says he still hasn't seen the unredacted letter even though he has after repeatedly asked for the document.
Unbelievable!
"Sexual assault allegations deserve serious attention, and those who make such allegations must be
heard. They should not be deployed strategically for political gain." Grassly wrote. "You received this letter
approximately seven weeks ago. But the contents of the letter were leaked only last week when it
appeared the Senate was about to confirm Judge Kavanaugh. "
Last Thursday, Senator Dianne Feinstein referred a mysterious letter about Kavanaugh to the FBI after holding onto it for months.
She started a firestorm by holding onto this letter about Kavanaugh then releasing it at the 11th hour in a "me too" ambush in an effort to delay Kavanaugh's confirmation.
Dianne Feinstein admitted Tuesday that she "can't say that everything is truthful" about the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh brought forth by far-left activist Christine Ford.
Chuck Grassley laid down the law in a letter sent to Christine Blasey Ford's attorney on Wednesday afternoon.
Grassley concluded his letter by giving Christine Blasey Ford a Friday morning deadline to respond.
"Dr. Ford's prepared testimony and biography are due to the Committee by 10 a.m. on Friday September 21, if she intends to testify Monday," Grassley said.
So far it looks like Christine Ford will be a no-show Monday for the hearing.

"Democrats' Hail Mary play to stymie the confirmation of Trump SCOTUS pick Brett Kavanaugh is beginning to fizzle out. As angry Dems demanded that a Monday hearing on the allegations against Kavanaugh be delayed until the FBI has a chance to investigate, turncoat Republicans (on whom the Dems had been depending for votes) instead withdrew their support and fell in line after Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley declared that he would not honor Democrats' request. Grassley revealed his intention to stand firm late Tuesday after lawyers for Palo Alto University professor Christine Blasey, who is claiming that Kavanaugh attempted to sexually assault her 35 years ago when the two were 17-year-old high school students, said their client wouldn't be wiling to appear at Monday's hearing.

Q Research General #3905: Your Daily Bread Edition
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who accuses him of sexually assaulting her decades ago (all times local):
10:05 a.m.
President Donald Trump says "we'll have to make a decision" if Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's sexual-assault accuser "makes a credible showing" before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He said Wednesday it would be "very interesting."
Trump calls Kavanaugh an "outstanding man" and says it's "very hard" for him to imagine anything happened.
The Judiciary Committee has scheduled a public hearing for Monday and has invited Kavanaugh and California college professor Christine Blasey Ford to testify regarding her allegation against him.
Ford says a drunken Kavanaugh assaulted her decades ago when they were teenagers. Kavanaugh has denied Ford's allegation and has said he's willing to appear before the committee.
Ford's attorneys say she wants the FBI to investigate her allegation before she testifies.
-
Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford say that before she testifies on Capitol Hill next week she wants the FBI to investigate her allegation that she was sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
But the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Iowa's Chuck Grassley, says an FBI investigation wouldn't have any bearing on Ford's testimony so "there is no reason for further delay." Other Republicans are suggesting that Ford will have only this one opportunity to testify.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump showered sympathy on Kavanaugh. The president too has rejected the idea of bringing in the FBI to reopen its background check of the appeals court judge.
Ford's lawyers say she has been the target of "vicious harassment and even death threats" since coming forward with her story.

Yup, it's true! And! "Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who said Ford is still invited to speak to the committee, countered that "nothing the FBI or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what Dr. Ford tells the committee, so there is no reason for any further delay."

"a federal law enforcement official told Fox News, "It's totally inappropriate for someone to demand we use law enforcement resources to investigate a 35-year-old allegation when she won't go under oath and can't remember key details including when or where it happened."

Chuck Grassley: Monday's Kavanaugh Hearing May Be Canceled if Christine Blasey Ford Doesn't Testify

Q Research General #3893: DS PANIC IS REAL Edition
Dems make new demands on Kavanaugh hearing, as Republicans cry foul
Democratic senators on Tuesday escalated their demands regarding a hearing to examine the sexual assault allegation against Brett Kavanaugh – suggesting Monday's scheduled public session with the Supreme Court nominee and his accuser is not enough, calling for more witnesses and more time for the FBI to dig into the allegations.
Much remains up in the air, with the allegation threatening to sideline the nomination days before Kavanaugh was slated for a floor vote.
Right now, the FBI apparently is not investigating further despite Democratic demands. And it's not clear the hearing announced by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is even going forward. He scheduled a hearing for Monday, but said accuser Christine Blasey Ford has not responded to the invitation and threatened to nix the session if she doesn't.
Grassley on Tuesday also officially canceled the Thursday meeting that would have included a vote on whether to recommend Kavanaugh's nomination to the full Senate.
Ford alleges that in high school, Kavanaugh pinned her down, tried to remove her bathing suit and put his hand over her mouth when she attempted to scream. Kavanaugh denies it.
But as Republicans try to navigate the 11th-hour bombshell, they're accusing Democrats of playing politics, by first sitting on the allegations and now making new demands regarding a hearing.

Grassley: Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey Ford Not Confirmed for Hearing, Ignoring Efforts to Contact
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said on the Hugh Hewitt Show Tuesday morning that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has not confirmed her appearance at next Monday's hearing and that she has ignored repeated efforts by Grassley's staff to make contact with her "in the last 36 hours." Grassley raised the possibility of canceling the hearing.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
Ford came forward over the weekend to confirm a letter she wrote last summer to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ranking member on the committee, accusing-without evidence or corroboration-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assaulting her at a drunken high school party
A transcript of McConnell's remarks was posted by the Hugh Hewitt Show.
HH: Well, I appreciate your candor and your responsiveness. Let's get right to it. Will the hearing on Monday be televised?
CG: Yeah.
HH: And will there only be two witnesses on Monday?
CG: Yes.
HH: Who's going to go first?
CG: Oh, we haven't made up our mind on that, yet, but I assume that Dr. Ford would.
HH: Has Dr. Ford accepted, and she's agreed to come?
HH: Has Dr. Ford accepted, and she's agreed to come?
CG: No. We have reached out to her in the last 36 hours three of four times by email, and we've not heard from them, so it kind of raises the question do they want to, do they want to come to the public hearing or not? And the reason we're having the public hearing is obviously, well, number one is accusations like this deserve consideration and looking into, and that's what the purpose of the hearing is. And we wouldn't be having this hearing if it wasn't for the fact that Dr. Ford told the Washington Post and other people publicly that she wanted to testify. And we also have Judge Kavanaugh. Even before we requested him to testify, he said he was willing to testify. As of Sunday night, I had that message. So we still haven't heard from Dr. Ford. So do they want to have the hearing or not? We're delaying the vote, strictly, to get all the facts out on the table.
HH: If Dr. Ford declines to attend, will Judge Kavanaugh appear anyway?
CG: First of all, we've got to look at why we're having the hearing. We're having the hearing because the accusations, accusations that legitimately ought to be looked into about a candidate for the Supreme Court. And it was raised questions what would be the purpose of the hearing if Dr. Ford doesn't want to respond?
End excerpt. Please read the entire transcript at the Hugh Hewitt Show.
Ford, the reluctant witness, sent letters to her congresswoman and senator in the summer, hired a Democrat lawyer and took a secret polygraph in August, but maintained a facade of not wanting to go public while doing everything to get ready to go public, including reportedly scrubbing her social media accounts.
Will Grassley call her bluff and reschedule the committee vote on Kavanaugh for this Thursday, as was originally planned, if Ford refuses to testify or cooperate with the committee?

Q Research General #3889: Dregs and Deplorables Edition
Trump Orders Extensive Declassification of Russia Investigation Documents - 2/2
The declassification order by Trump does not specify a date range or a specific number of interviews. The chosen wording specifies "all FBI reports of interviews with Bruce G. Ohr prepared in connection with the Russia investigation."
The FBI interviews may have served as a means for Ohr to transmit information from dossier author Christopher Steele to the FBI. This relationship was noted by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who said: "The documents also raise questions about the role of Ohr-a senior Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS-in continuing to pass allegations from Steele and Fusion GPS to the FBI after the FBI had terminated Steele as a source."
Ohr recently met with members of Congress and reportedly disclosed that he understood Steele's information to be raw and uncorroborated hearsay.
The third portion of the order appears to relate to underlying documentation used in the Page FISA warrant, calling for the declassification of "all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all Carter Page FISA applications."
The requested documentation relates to the initial FISA application and the three subsequent renewals. This portion of the declassification order was somewhat unexpected and will provide a broader examination of reasoning used in obtaining the warrant to spy on Page.
Notably, this portion of the declassification order likely includes debriefings and interviews of lesser-known but still crucial characters, such as FBI informant Stefan Halper, Australian diplomat Alexander Downer, and possibly Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud. It should also include all communications with Steele.
This portion of the declassification order will likely help to establish whether Woods Procedures were followed.
The goal of the Woods Procedures is to ensure accuracy in regard to the following:
The facts supporting probable cause.
The existence and nature of any related criminal investigations or prosecutions involving the subject of the FISA.
The existence and nature of any prior or ongoing asset relationship between the subject and the FBI.
It's the third point in regard to Page that's particularly important. That's because Page cooperated with both the FBI and U.S. attorneys for the Southern District of New York in the Evgeny Buryakov case, involving several Russian spies. Page almost certainly was providing testimony or details about Victor Podobnyy in the Buryakov case.

"Over my nearly four decades in the Senate I have worked diligently to protect whistleblowers and get to the bottom of any issue.

How Dianne Feinstein's Antics Over Kavanaugh Sexual Abuse Allegations Are Harming The #MeToo Movement
If you were to craft a narrative by which to undercut the #MeToo movement, it would be hard to do it better than Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). The #MeToo movement is built on the credibility of the stories told by women who allege sexual abuse and misconduct. That credibility rests hand-in-hand with an eagerness to probe into such allegations - which is why we've spent so much time lauding Ronan Farrow of The New Yorker for doing just that.
But the #MeToo movement cannot survive if it is just a series of allegations designed to shield the truth from scrutiny. And that's precisely what Dianne Feinstein has done here, and continues to do.
According to The Washington Post, Christine Blasey Ford sent a letter to Senator Feinstein on July 30, 2018. She requested in the letter that she be kept anonymous. But Feinstein didn't forward the letter to the FBI; she didn't show it to her Democratic Senate colleagues; she didn't raise the question with Kavanaugh, even in closed session. She did nothing with the letter until after Kavanaugh's testimony, at which point she dumped news of it in public, forcing Ford to come forward with the actual letter.
All of which doesn't speak to the credibility of the accuser. It looks like a partisan smear. And today, that partisan smear got even more partisan when Feinstein refused to help set up calls between senators and Ford. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) explained:
Anyone who comes forward as Dr. Ford has deserves to be heard, so I will continue working on a way to hear her out in an appropriate, precedented and respectful manner. The standard procedure for updates to any nominee's background investigation file is to conduct separate follow-up calls with relevant parties. In this case, that would entail phone calls with at least Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford. Consistent with that practice, I asked Senator Feinstein's office yesterday to join me in scheduling these follow-ups. Thus far, they have refused... Unfortunately, committee Republicans have only known this person's identity from news reports for less than 24 hours and known about her allegations for less than a week. Senator Feinstein, on the other hand, has had this information for many weeks and deprived her colleagues of the information necessary to do our jobs. The Minority withheld even the anonymous allegations for six weeks, only to later decide that they were serious enough to investigate on the eve of the committee vote, after the vetting process had been completed. It's deeply disturbing that the existence of these allegations were leaked in a way that seemed to preclude Dr. Ford's confidentiality. Over my nearly four decades in the Senate I have worked diligently to protect whistleblowers and get to the bottom of any issue. Dr. Ford's attorney could have approached my office, while keeping her client confidential and anonymous, so that these allegations could be thoroughly investigated. Nevertheless, we are working diligently to get to the bottom of these claims.
This is amazing stuff. It essentially argues that Feinstein is a political show horse, and is trotting out an alleged victim in order to stop Kavanaugh's ascension. That's disgusting, and what's worse, it utterly undermines the credibility of women telling their stories. False allegations undermine #MeToo; so do deliberately-timed, unverifiable allegations carefully protected from scrutiny. Feinstein knows that. But presumably, she doesn't care, because she would prefer to be popular with her left-wing base - which includes many members of the #MeToo movement too shortsighted to see the impact of such antics.

Kavanaugh faces uncertain future after woman accuser breaks silence, Republicans worry in private about midterms
We may be in a grey area when it comes to what's next for the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court.
After the allegations against Kavanaugh made by Christine Ford, the White House says it won't yank the nomination and may even gird for battle. A spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, says aides are working to set up additional calls with Kavanaugh and Ford "ahead of Thursday's scheduled vote."
In other words, GOP leaders aren't backing down from a committee vote on Kavanaugh Thursday and an effort to confirm him on the Senate floor by the middle of next week.
Here's the problem:
Multiple Republicans that they want to slow the process until they thoroughly addressed Ford's charge and not just blindly charged ahead with the confirmation.
"I'm uncomfortable moving forward with a yes vote until we hear from (Ford)," said Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a member of the Judiciary Committee. Fellow Judiciary Committee member Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., also urged caution. But Graham wasn't in favor of a pause.
"If the committee is to hear from Ms. Ford, it should be done immediately so the process can continue as scheduled," said Graham. "If Ms. Ford wishes to provide information to the committee, I would gladly listen to what she has to say and compare that against all other information we have received about Judge Kavanaugh."
Multiple Democrats demanded the committee to bring the confirmation process to a screeching halt.
"Sen. Grassley must postpone the vote until, at the very minimum, these serious and credible allegations are thoroughly investigated," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. "To railroad a vote now would be an insult of the women of America."
What happens now is unclear. It's unknown if Ford is willing to appear in person or just how thorough senators need to be with her allegation. But it wouldn't take much to throw things off kilter for those hoping for a quick confirmation. Plus, there's risk for the GOP if it fails to take Ford's allegations seriously or account for what she has to say. We're in the Me Too era now. Republicans ignore Ford at their own peril less than two months before the midterm elections. GOPers know they could face a backlash at the polls if they misplay their hand.
The Judiciary Committee is split nearly-evenly between Republicans and Democrats: 11 GOPers. 10 Democrats. Flake already wants to tap the brakes. But frankly, a committee vote doesn't mean much. Let's say Grassley marches ahead regardless. Would Flake and other Republicans vote in opposition in committee to Kavanaugh's nomination? Possibly. But that means very little for the actual confirmation.

Kavanaugh Confirmation: Dems Final Hail Mary To Stop It
On Thursday, Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) released a cryptic accusation against the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh claiming he was involved in a matter that federal authorities need to investigate. Her office released a statement in regards to her allegation, "I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities."
It is reported that Feinstein received information pertaining to Kavanaugh in a letter sent to her by Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (D-CA) in July, which means she knew about this matter for several weeks. The information in the letter alleges "sexual misconduct" between Kavanuagh and an unnamed woman from their days in high school.
A spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released a statement in response to Feinstein's allegations,
At this time, he has not seen the letter in question, and is respecting the request for confidentiality. There's no plan to change the committee's consideration of Judge Kavanaugh's nomination
The Final Hail Mary: Democrats do not have the votes to stop the Kavanaugh confirmation and they have tried every stunt in the book to stop it from happening. Their delay or derail tactics have not worked as of yet and the politically motivated 11th-hour attempt to scare moderate GOP members away from a "yea" vote will not work. This was best captured in a tweet by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX)

Special Report: Planned Parenthood's Main Collector Sells Aborted Tissue At Over Double Real Price
A major tissue collection company is allegedly selling aborted baby body parts for double to triple their price, according to a Monday report.
A Center For Medical Progress (CMP) special report reveals that Advance Bioscience Resources, Inc. (ABR) - a 501(c)3 non-profit - is allegedly selling aborted body parts for much more than their real cost even though federal law forbids the transfer of fetal tissue in exchange for "valuable consideration."
Profit from the sale of fetal tissue does not indicate a violation of the law, but commercial sale of an item at a cost greater than reimbursement value is illegal.
ABR charged customers separately for two eyeballs from the same aborted baby, according to transaction records. Despite multiple charges for the specimens, however, ABR sent the eyeballs to the researcher together so that there would only be one transaction cost as opposed to two, according to CMP's report.
Adding up ABR's fees, a tissue's reimbursement cost should be no more than $1,090 effective of Jan. 1 2015. ABR charged customers $5,000 and $6,000 for specimens in 2012, according to CMP's special report.
ABR charged a University of Utah customer $12,000 for two tissue samples that arrived in too poor of a condition to be usable for research, CMP's report claims. The customer responded to ABR's bill, noting "the costs for travel, hotel, time, food, personnel time, clinic fees and some overhead ... [is] around $3,000."
A Select Investigative Panel found in 2016 that ABR had committed "potential violations of the law."
U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley also referred Planned Parenthood affiliates and a number of fetal tissue companies - including ABR - to the FBI and the Department of Justice for investigation. (RELATED: DOJ Launches Investigation Into Planned Parenthood)
ABR manages a yearly revenue of approximately $1.5 million with more than $200,000 in profit. ABR's contract with Planned Parenthood is worth roughly $1 million, according to Monday's report.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are two of ABR's main customers. Since 2012, the FDA has entered into eight contracts with ABR.
April 2017 footage also shows Planned Parenthood's Medical Directors' Council President Dr. Mary Gatter bargaining over aborted body part prices.
CMP undercover footage documents other suspect activity, including Planned Parenthood employees and leaders talking about colleagues who are trained to check off paperwork indicating they comply with the federal government's partial birth abortion ban, but then dismembering unborn babies after 22 weeks which violates federal law.
ABR did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation's request for comment.

Feinstein Pulls Her DIRTIEST Trick Yet - She Just Turned Kavanaugh Into the FBI
BY EREN MORENO SEPTEMBER 13, 2018
Yes, you read that correctly; Senator Diane Feinstein has turned honorable Justice Kavanaugh to federal authorities.
This is what the left has stooped to.
According to reports, Feinstein has referred a "mystery matter" involving Kavanaugh to the FBI, which the Senator apparently received in a letter from someone who wishes to remain "anonymous."
From Washington Examiner
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Thursday she has referred a matter involving Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to "federal investigative authorities," but declined to provide further details on the information she received.
"I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court," Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. "That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities."
Feinstein's statement follows a report published by The Intercept on Wednesday describing a letter the California senator was given by Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif. Eshoo received the letter from a person affiliated with Stanford University, which describes a matter relayed to that person, according to The Intercept.
The letter reportedly details an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman that dates back to their high school days. Sources told the New York Times the letter includes a sexual misconduct allegation.
A spokesman for the Senate Judiciary Committee said Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is aware of Feinstein's referral.
"At this time, he has not seen the letter in question, and is respecting the request for confidentiality," George Hartmann, the spokesman, said in an emailed statement. "There's no plan to change the committee's consideration of Judge Kavanaugh's nomination."
White House spokeswoman Kerri Kupec noted that Kavanaugh participated in 65 meetings with senators, including Feinstein, sat through more than 24 hours of testimony, and answered more than 2,000 questions both in public and private.
"Not until the eve of his confirmation has Sen. Feinstein or anyone raised the specter of new 'information' about him ," Kupec said in a statement.
She also said that over the course of his 25-year career in public service, Kavanaugh has been vetted by the FBI "for some of the most highly sensitive roles." Kavanaugh worked in the Office of Independent Counsel for Kenneth Starr during the Clinton administration and the White House in the White House Counsel's Office and as staff secretary for President George W. Bush. He has been a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since 2006.
"Senator Schumer promised to 'oppose Judge Kavanaugh's nomination with everything I have,' and it appears he is delivering with this 11 th hour attempt to delay his confirmation," Kupec said.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has scheduled the committee vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh for Thursday September 20th. A full senate vote is anticipated prior to the end of this month. SCOTUS session begins October 1st.
In a last ditch effort to come up with some scheme or roadblock, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dianne Feinstein, has announced she is referring a High School allegation of sexual misconduct to federal authorities for immediate investigation.
Feinstein refuses to release any details about her reference letter, allowing for maximum innuendo and gossip, and presents a disingenuous and transparently political public release to accompany her announcement. According to the New York Times:

Q Research General #3735: "Attempts to deceive AUTISTS/ANONS will FAIL" Edition
In December 2016, Mr. Ohr met with Mr. Simpson. He made note of Mr. Simpson, saying: "The New York Times story on Oct. 31 downplaying the connection between Alfa servers and the Trump campaign was incorrect. There was communication and it wasn't spam."
If Mr. Ohr's note-taking is accurate, then Mr. Simpson was clearly pushing the Alfa narrative.
But Mr. Simpson told the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, a different story eight months later.
He was questioned on Alfa by Heather Sawyer, chief oversight counsel for Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat. Ms. Feinstein later released the transcript without committee approval.
Ms. Sawyer asked: "Do you have any information there have been reports about potential communications between a server at [Alfa] Bank and potentially servers that belong to the Trump organization or Trump - some entity associated with Donald Trump? Do you have any information about those particular reports?"
Mr. Simpson responded: "That's kind of an open-ended question. I think what I said is we were asked about that and it wasn't - that information wasn't generated by us and I'm happy to say it's beyond our competence to have generated, but in the course of being asked about it, you know, people gave us information. I don't know what else to say."
'Evidence of misleading testimony'
Mr. Simpson went on to say that he didn't draw any conclusions: "I mean, we were shown like do you know what this would mean, does this mean, and it's beyond - it's really - it's certainly beyond my competence."
Ms. Sawyer: "So the data that you were shown, you could not draw any conclusions from it?"
Mr. Simpson: "I did not draw any conclusions from the data."
He said he was asked by journalists about the server story, "but the information didn't come from us." He made no mention of the December meeting with Mr. Ohr and discussing Alfa. At that meeting, he told Mr. Ohr that he knew there was a Trump server used to communicate with Alfa.
Mr. Ohr's notes also show that Mr. Simpson provided the name of a lawyer he believed was an intermediary between Alfa and the Trump campaign.
Mr. Ohr's notes also show he discussed Alfa, one of Russia's largest commercial banks, with Mr. Steele. In one session, Mr. Steele told the associate deputy attorney general that he was "desperate" to sink the Trump campaign.
"Alfa server in US as link to campaign," Mr. Ohr quoted Mr. Steele as saying.
Mr. Steele didn't include the server conspiracy in his dossier. He did accuse Alfa's partners of being in a conspiracy with Mr. Putin to influence the election.
Alfa has denied it had a dedicated server to the Trump Organization or that it interfered in the election.
Mr. Simpson was unhappy with The New York Times' Oct. 31, 2016, story for reasons other than the Alfa Bank exoneration. At the time, he was desperately trying to get Mr. Steele's collusion charges into the newspaper. But the story came to an opposite conclusion, saying the FBI had not discovered a Trump-Kremlin conspiracy.
Hours after The New York Times debunked the server story, the conspiracy theory was revived in an article in the liberal news website Slate.
Mr. Simpson's attorney didn't return messages from The Washington Times.
Mr. Ohr testified in secret on Aug. 28 before two House committees investigating how the FBI conducted its probe into Trump associates.
"In the first hour of testimony, and it's either Bruce Ohr is lying or Glenn Simpson is lying," Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican, told reporters.
Mr. Grassley disclosed in a letter to the Justice Department that the FBI debriefed Mr. Ohr 12 times from Nov. 22, 2016, to May 2017 as he conveyed Fusion anti-Trump material. Mr. Grassley wants Justice to declassify the interview reports, known as 302s.
Mr. Ohr has since been demoted. He was the fourth-ranked Justice official, with an office a few doors down from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Mr. Rosenstein took office in April 2017 after Mr. Ohr completed most of his FBI debriefings on his wife's and Fusion's work.

Q Research General #3713 Liked it Better When Hussein was STFU Edition
Is declass possible?
How likely is it that James Wolfe leaked that FISA application at the request of Senators on the SSCI?
Remember his defense?
Attorneys for James A. Wolfe sent letters to all 15 senators on the committee, notifying them that their testimony may be sought as part of Mr. Wolfe's defense, according to two people familiar with the matter.
So what this looks like is an intentional effort within the SSCI (See Mark Warner, Adam Waldman, et al) to create a process to ensure the FISA surveillance warrant was extended in 2017.
This renewal was critical; it was part of the insurance policy being executed.
Remember Adam Waldman, the guy text messaging with Mark Warner, lying to Chuck Grassley to avoid giving testimony to congress?
See the big picture?
See the scale of corruption?
Corruption this deep explains why James Wolfe was not charged with the leaking of highly classified intelligence, and only given the much lesser charge of lying to the FBI about the leaking.
Also, remember throughout the 2016 election Senator Dianne Feinstein was a Gang-of-Eight member and Vice-Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Now do you remember the $50 million raised by former Dianne Feinstein SSCI Senior Staffer Daniel Jones to continue funding Fusion GPS *after* the 2016 election?
Against this big picture backdrop doesn't that money seem like it would be available for hush-money payments to the complicit media apparatus for services rendered?
Remember, Daniel Jones is closely connected to leaks given to the New York Times. The fate of the media and the corrupt officials within the FBI and DOJ are attached.
How likely is it that Ali Watkins direct or indirect reporting is part of the FISA renewal?
Now, do the hit jobs by the New York Times make sense? Anonymous Op-eds? Articles and discussions about needing to invoke the 25th Amendment?
Corrupt politicians, corrupt media, corrupt FBI and DOJ officials past and present; all of them have a vested interest in opposition to any declassification sunlight.
So yes, President Trump can request declassification within his executive authority; however, he needs DOJ and FBI officials within his executive branch who are willing to follow instructions. If those officials are connected -or implicated- directly or indirectly in the corruption.... well, just how would you expect to see it play out?
Perhaps, just perhaps, it would play out exactly as we have been watching it play out for the past nine months.

Booker Breaks Senate Rules By Releasing Confidential Documents - Republicans BLASTS Decision!
Written by Wayne Dupree · 21 mins ago
Once again, Democrats throw the rule of law out the window.
Sen. Cory Booker is just trying to look like a strong leader so he can get the Democrat Nomination for President in 2020. He is a divisive politician and would never be good for the USA. His petty attitude in the video below show's he is not ready to lead anyone and how cowboy his attitude is toward settled law.
Punishment for violation of the rule is removal from Senate and fined. Booker should be held accountable and should immediately be kicked out of the Senate and all aspects of our government.
At today's third and final day of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, once again the argument over the quantity and origin of documents erupted, and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) faced off for a third day. As Booker delivered a lengthy set of remarks about his own actions, Grassley sharply smacked him as self-aggrandizing.
Booker is trying martyr himself by saying, " go ahead, press charges if I've violated Senate rules," well, I think they should honor his wishes, press charges, throw him out!

Partisan brawl erupts over 'confidential' Kavanaugh docs
After Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said he would release a confidential email on racial profiling he had referred to while questioning Kavanaugh on Wednesday night – describing the gesture as "civil disobedience" and an "'I am Spartacus' moment" - three more Democrats echoed his sentiment.
The dispute threatened to swamp the second day of questioning for Kavanaugh, with Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) floating a closed session later Thursday to discuss the matter. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is also expected to use the same procedural maneuver he employed Wednesday to try to force the confirmation hearing off course unless the Senate adjourns within two hours after convening.
Despite the clashes on Thursday, Kavanaugh's prospects for confirmation by month's end remain strong given the GOP's 51-49 majority in the chamber. No Republican swing vote has aired public skepticism about his qualifications so far.

Q Research General #3634: What’s at STAKE Edition
SENATOR Chuck Grassley COMMENTS (AFTER RECESS):
.... It seems odd to me that we don't have criticism of people that are saying the same thing about the Supreme Court, so I want to read whenever the President criticizes a judiciary or judicial decisions, we hear wales of anguish from my Demo colleagues. They attack the President for threatening the independence and the integrity of the judiciary and they applaud the judiciary for standing up to the President. I just listened to some of my colleagues here. One of them spent 18 minutes attacking the personal integrity of Justices of the Supreme Court. He said that five Justices have been bought and sold by private interests. He accused them of deciding cases to the benefit of favored parties, so I think it's pretty clear, a double standard and we shouldn't have to tolerate such double standard.
And, particularly from a press that is the policemen of our whole democratic process; that without a free press our government would be less than what it is. And, It seems to me that's something that I hope somebody will take into consideration, but probably won't. Then also, several Senators have brought up about 6% and the 99% and things like that that I thought I ought to clear up because I can say myself that when I first found out how many paper Judge Kavanaugh had on his record, I mean for his background, I started talking about a hundred, a million pages, and then when we finally get 488,000 I can say well I got about 48% of what we ought to have, but there's a good explanation why we don't have it. So, I want to read, some of my colleagues keep saying that we have only 6% of Judge Kavanaugh's White House records, but that 99% of Justice Kagan's (sp?) White House records were made public before the hearing. This is fuzzy math; my colleagues calibrate their phony 6% figure on two inaccurate numbers. First their 6% figure counts, the estimated page count by a career archivist at the National Archives, based upon their historical practice, before the on process emails and attachments are actually reviewed. When Judge Kavanaugh's White House emails that we've received the actual number of pages ended up being significantly less than the number the National Archives estimated before the actual review. One reason is that we were able to use technology about the exact duplicate emails. Instead of having 13 times an email that Judge Kavanaugh sent to 12 White House colleagues, we only had to read the email once. Second, the 6% figure counts millions and millions of pages of irrelevant staff secretary documents that we never requested or needed. More importantly, we received 100% of the documents we requested from Kavanaugh's time as an Executive Branch lawyer. And while we may have received 99% of Justice Kagan's White House records, we received zero records from her most relevant legal service as a Solicitor General, the Federal government's top Supreme Court advocate. We received much less than 99% of her records as a lawyer and we didn't receive 60,000 emails from Justice Kagan, so 99% is an overestimate; and, even though we never received them, Justice Kagan 's Solicitor General records were much more needed at the time because Kagan was a blank slate as a judge. Instead, unlike Judge Kavanaugh with his 12 years of judicial service and over 10,000 pages of judicial writings on the nation's most important federal circuit court, Justice Kagan had zero years of judicial service and zero pages of judicial writing before her appointment to the highest court.

UK anon fascinated by proceedings in Senate. Hope my US Qanon bros don't mind me offering an observation.
It is apparent that there is a tail wagging the dog situation - where the process takes precedence over the purpose. What has it come to when a Committee Chairman like Chuck Grassley (a man of experience and integrity) has to be advised at every turn by lawyers about whether or not the PROCESS has been adhered to to the last jot and tittle? How does any real work get done when hours and days and weeks are wasted on whether the PROCESS has been correctly adhered to?
It's a crazy, topsy-turvy world we live in.
We have purpose now serving process; justice serving legal technicalities; delivery of education serving a theory of education process. And it's the same all over western so-called "civilization," including the UK.

Today, President Donald J. Trump's nominee to replace retired Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court begins several days of confirmation hearings before the Senate. Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who USA Today says "may be the most qualified Supreme Court nominee in generations," will testify as support for his nomination grows from a broad, diverse pool of lawmakers, former students, and colleagues in the legal profession.
Most crucially, Senators are signaling that Judge Kavanaugh is the type of mainstream, experienced judge needed to steady the Supreme Court in a time of growing judicial activism. Senators from both parties told the White House they wanted to see a real judge nominated with outstanding credentials-one who will respect precedent. Judge Kavanaugh is all of that and more.
The Judge's record largely speaks for itself. He has served for more than a decade on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit-referred to as the "Second Highest Court in the Land." He has authored over 300 judicial opinions, 13 of which have been affirmed by the Supreme Court. After graduating with honors from Yale College in 1987, Judge Kavanaugh graduated from Yale Law School in 1990, where he was a Notes Editor on the Yale Law Journal. He went on to clerk for Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court, as well as two federal Circuit Court judges.
Alongside his long career of public service, he is a father, a mentor in local schools, a church volunteer, and a youth basketball coach.
As Judge Kavanaugh heads to the U.S. Capitol, he prepares for a busy week in what has been among the most transparent, thorough nomination processes in history. President Trump made his selection from a public list of 25 of the top-rated legal minds in our country, last updated in November 2017 after the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the High Court.
Here is what to expect as Judge Kavanaugh testifies this week:
Tuesday, September 4: Introductions and remarks from the Senate Judiciary Committee's 21 members, and an opening statement from Judge Kavanaugh
Wednesday, September 5: Senators, alternating by party and in order of seniority, will ask Judge Kavanaugh about his record, experience, and judicial philosophy
Thursday, September 6 and Friday, September 7: Once questions for the nominee have concluded, Senators will hear testimony from outside witnesses
"Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees to come before the Senate," Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says. "He is a superb mainstream candidate."

Ex-Bush lawyer releases 42,000 pages of paperwork concerning Supreme Court docket nominee Kavanaugh
WASHINGTON - Hours earlier than the beginning of hearings on Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court docket, the lawyer for former president George W. Bush turned over 42,000 pages of paperwork from the nominee's service within the Bush White Home, angering Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer who issued what is for certain to be a futile name to delay the proceedings.
Taylor Foy, a spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, responded that "our evaluate group will have the ability to full its examination of this newest batch briefly order, earlier than tomorrow's listening to begins."
The hearings are scheduled for 9.30 Tuesday morning, with opening statements by committee members. No info was launched on the subject material of the paperwork and Bush's lawyer requested that they be stored from the general public, made out there solely to committee members and employees.
Kavanaugh, appointed to the U.S. Court docket of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit by Bush, served the previous president within the White Home Counsel's Workplace from 2001 to 2003 and as employees secretary from 2003 to 2006.
William Burck, a lawyer representing Bush, mentioned in a letter to Grassley that the 5,148 paperwork totaling 42,390 pages retrieved from the Nationwide Archives had been to be handled as "Committee Confidential," with entry restricted to Judiciary Committee members and employees with no public availability, not less than in the interim.
Within the letter to Grassley, Burck mentioned attorneys engaged on behalf of the previous president would decide at a later date which of the paperwork are "acceptable for public launch."

''Not a single senator will be able to review these records before tomorrow,'' Schumer, Democrat of New York, tweeted Monday evening.
Taylor Foy, a spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, responded that ''our review team will be able to complete its examination of this latest batch in short order, before tomorrow's hearing begins.''

Democrats Erupt After White House Won't Release Bush II-Era Kavanaugh Docs
Democrats slammed the Trump administration on Sunday for refusing to release thousands of documents related to US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Reuters reports.
Nominated by President Trump in the wake of Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement, Kavanaugh worked in the White House under former President George W. Bush - whose lawyers pored over extensive records from that time period and concluded in a Friday letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) that 27,000 of them were protected under "constitutional privilege."
The White House directed them not to hand them over to the Senate Judiciary Committee, one of Bush's lawyers said in a letter to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will host the hearings scheduled to start on Tuesday. -Reuters
Meanwhile, another 102,000 pages of Kavanaugh-linked materials were not turned over for other reasons. That said, the committee has been able to review more than 415,000 pages on Kavanaugh's background, the lawyer said in the letter.
In a Saturday press release, the Senate Judiciary Committee said that they had "expanded access to confidential material beyond that for any other Supreme Court nominee."

Perhaps Trump should just release evrything - along with all of the heavily redacted or otherwise unreleased documents related to the Russia investigation.

Cryin Schumer Hits Panic Button Over Impending Kavanaugh Hearings - Accuses GOP, Trump of a Cover Up
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) hit the panic button Saturday and accused President Trump of hiding 100,000 Kavanaugh documents from the public.
Confirmation hearings for President Trump's second SCOTUS pick, Brett Kavanaugh will begin on Tuesday, September 4th and Schumer is in a tailspin as he desperately tries to delay the confirmation.
Brett Kavanaugh has given the Senate Judiciary Committee twice the amount of documents than any other SCOTUS nominee in US history.
Senate Judiciary Chairman, Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said last week his staff "has completed review of 430k plus pages of Kavanaugh records I assume democrats have done the same so they are ready for his hearing next wk 430k pages of docs are 2x more than any other SCOTUS nom"

Confronting Democratic attacks, Republicans propose codifying insurance protections for sick people
A group of 10 GOP senators introduced a bill on Thursday to ensure equal healthcare coverage regardless of health status. Democrats are making their support for pre-existing conditions a major part of their strategy in the 2018 midterm elections.
"Nevadans and Americans throughout the country with pre-existing conditions should be protected - period," said Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., one of the co-sponsors who faces a tough re-election battle this fall in a state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016.
GOP Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, John Barrasso of Wyoming, Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee are the other co-sponsors of the bill.

Senate Dems call for delay of Kavanaugh hearing due to Trump's possible 'criminal wrongdoing'
Senate Democrats have jumped on the legal problems of former Trump associates and claim that those issues, along with the president's own potential "criminal wrongdoing," mean the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should be delayed, USA Today reported.
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley, the committee chairman, requesting that the hearing be pushed back from its scheduled Sept. 4 date.
"Given the possibility of criminal wrongdoing by the President, doubts that Judge Kavanaugh believes a president can even be investigated, and the unprecedented lack of transparency regarding this nominee's record, we should not move forward with hearings on September 4th," the letter read.
What are they talking about?
The Democrats are taking advantage of the recent conviction of Paul Manafort and guilty plea by Michael Cohen to argue that Trump is in no position to have his judicial nominee confirmed.
Manafort, Trump's former campaign manager, was convicted of eight felony counts of bank and tax fraud, and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty on campaign finance violations, tax fraud and false statements to a bank.
The Cohen campaign finance violation is the only one that is connected to Trump, as Cohen said he made the payments to keep Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal quiet about alleged affairs "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office."
"Importantly, there is no legitimate reason for the Senate to rush this nomination and fail to perform its constitutional duty," the letter from the Democrats read. "This is especially true, when the President, who faces significant legal jeopardy, chose the one candidate who has consistently and clearly expressed doubt as to whether a sitting president can be investigated or indicted for criminal wrongdoing."
They are referring to an article Kavanaugh wrote in 2009 that said presidents "should be excused from some of the burdens of ordinary citizenship while serving in office" suggesting that presidents should not have to deal with criminal investigations or interviews with prosecutors while in office.
There is no indication that Republicans have any intention of moving the hearing.

On December 20th, 2017, the 8th China Law Express was held in Ronald Reagan Building. It is a special end-of-year luncheon concurrent with the Christmas and New Year holidays. DHH friends and advisors attended the event and shared their remarks of this past 2017 and their expectation towards a more prosperous 2018. Among the guests are former US Department of Labor Chief Financial Officer Samuel Mok, International Law Institute Deputy Director Robert Sargin, China Daily US Chief Editor Larry Lee, US Small Business Administration International Trade Officer Libo Suen and Alpha Strategies LLC Principle Adnan Jalil. Executive Director Sha Zhu moderated the event.
Director Zhu welcomed attending guests and, on behalf of DHH, expressed deep gratitude towards these trade, policy and media experts for their long-time support and friendship. She provided a brief overview of the achievements of DHH Washington Office since moving into Ronald Reagan Building in March 2017, including leading the response to USTR's special 301 Investigation on China by providing comment and testimony at the public hearing, assisting B2B meetings for Montgomery County Executive's Asia Mission, attending law firm alliance SCG's 2017 Annual Meeting and Association of Corporate Counsel ACC's 2017 Annual Meeting, setting up DC seminars for ACLA's leading foreign-oriented lawyers training group and a visit to the Chinese Embassy, as well as arranging numerous DC site visits for CCPIT delegations. The signature event of DHH Washington Office – China Law Express – has been successfully held for seven consecutive months, topics spanning China legal system, Z visa and work authorization in China, negative list of foreign investment, interpreting 301 Investigation and trade dispute, and revised NGO law in China. Washington Office has also successfully conducted due diligence, legal research, lawyer's opinions and other works.
Guests acknowledged and praised the rapid progresses made by DHH Washington Office, and expressed hopes to collaborate with DHH for broadened and enhanced client services.

AHEAD OF THE FILINGS - JALIL WILL LOBBY ON EB-5 PROGRAM: Adnan Jalil of Alpha Strategies has signed the American Alliance for Economic Development, a new trade group created to advocate for the EB-5 visa program, as a client. Jalil, who worked as a congressional liaison on Trump's campaign, helped start a short-lived firm called Aselus Strategies shortly after Trump's inauguration before going on to start Alpha Strategies. He signed the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a client last year on a contract worth $45,000 a month.
- Jalil will lobby on behalf of EB-5 regional centers and investors as lawmakers consider reforming the program. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) called the program rife with "cases of fraud, corruption and threats to national security" on Tuesday during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Jalil has also signed the Mega Company as a client, although he will be consulting for the company rather than lobbying.

I am on Sara Carters email list. Her email today was all about replacing Sessions. What's up with that??
Time for Sessions to Leave DOJ, Senior Senate Leaders Say
As President Donald Trump's relationship with Attorney General Jeff Sessions continues to deteriorate, several key Republican Senators announced Thursday that they would support the president if he chooses to replace Sessions. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), both long-time colleagues of Sessions, told reporters Thursday that although Sessions has served the Justice Department with distinction, his lack of faith in the president and vice versa, has now become a distraction to the administration.
Graham, who spoke to SaraACarter.com on Thursday afternoon, noted that Sessions has served with distinction but Trump has the right to replace him as the relationship between the two is in disrepair…

Top GOP Senators Back POTUS - Clear Path For Trump to Fire AG Sessions After 2018 Midterm Elections
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) both backed President Trump on Thursday and said he deserves an Attorney General he has faith in.
The top key GOP Senators said they will both back President Trump if he fires AG Sessions after the 2018 midterm elections.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said in an interview with Bloomberg Thursday that he will make time for hearings to confirm a new Attorney General. This is a 180 degree turn from Grassley's previous statements wherein he had made it clear he wouldn't confirm a new AG if Trump were to fire Sessions.
Senator Graham told reporters on Thursday President Trump deserves an Attorney General he has faith in, reported Bloomberg.
"The president's entitled to an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that's qualified for the job, and I think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice. Clearly, Attorney General Sessions doesn't have the confidence of the president."
The tension between President Trump and AWOL AG Sessions reached a fever pitch on Thursday.
AWOL AG Sessions unloaded on President Trump Thursday afternoon in a rare statement in response to the President's interview with FOX & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt.
President Trump blasted AWOL Jeff Sessions during an interview with Ainsley Earhardt on FOX and Friends which aired on Thursday Morning.
President Trump: I put in an Attorney General who never took control of the Justice Department. And it's sort of an incredible thing. We have this country going so well... I wanted to stay un-involved. Jeff Sessions recused himself and should have told me. What kind of man is this? He knows there was no collusion.
President Donald Trump went off on a tirade earlier this month against AWOL Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Just a few days ago, President Trump took another shot at AWOL Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a total disgrace and coward who refuses to do his job and refuses to resign.
Jeff Sessions recused himself the first day on the job citing the wrong law. He has been in the corner of the Justice Department cowering while his Deputy, Rod Rosenstein calls the shots.
Sessions recusal is the reason why Robert Mueller and 17 angry Obama-Hillary donors are hunting down everyone in President Trump's inner circle.
It is impossible for President Trump to drain the swamp without an Attorney General. Sessions has to go.

"Ahmad "was briefly married, to a lawyer from Jordan" before getting divorced.[2] Ahmad is a Muslim, and says that "the primary relevance of my ethnic background to the work I do is its irrelevance", citing the rejection of terrorism by "the broader American-Muslim community".[16]"
"In the Senate, the drive to oppose and defund civilian trials for accused terrorists has long been led by the Republicans Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and Jeff Sessions of Alabama. "This is no way to fight a war," the three senators and a group of their colleagues wrote, in a 2015 letter to Eric Holder, then the Attorney General. The letter referred, specifically, to several extraditions that Ahmad was involved in. The senators and their allies strongly prefer that foreign terrorists who target Americans be detained in the military prison at Guantánamo Bay and, when possible, tried by a military tribunal. In 2009, Sessions, who is now the Attorney General, added an amendment to a military spending bill titled "No Miranda Warnings for Al Qaeda Terrorists."
Ahmad and her colleagues have been working meanwhile to develop, with considerable quiet success, a criminal-justice alternative to Guantánamo. It's a high-wire act. The public has unique expectations of law enforcement with respect to terrorism. "When there's a bank robbery, we try to solve the crime," Ahmad said. "But nobody thinks our job is to stamp out bank robbery. Terrorism is different. People expect us to prevent it." Many terror cases are difficult to make, with the strongest evidence often classified or inadmissible. "And we can't afford to lose," Ahmad told me. "We can't get anything wrong. If we lost a major extraterritorial case, there might never be another chance."

Turley: Sessions' Appointing Utah Federal Prosecutor Much Better for Trump than 2nd Special Counsel
WASHINGTON, DC - Professor Jonathan Turley, a top national legal expert on government investigations, commented on Thursday about Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision to bring in U.S. Attorney John Huber. Turley called it "brilliant"to combine all the powers of the U.S. Department of Justice's inspector general with a prosecutor who can bring charges, seek indictments, and get results for President Trump far more quickly than a second special counsel.
Turley is a law professor at George Washington University, who attained national fame during the 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton as a top legal authority on special counsels and congressional investigations of government wrongdoing, including criminal wrongdoing. His reputation has only grown during the intervening 20 years, as he has weighed in on scandals and investigations of public officials from both political parties.
Sessions sent a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC), and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), informing them that Huber is conducting a full-fledged criminal investigation into all the matters Republicans are calling for a special counsel to investigate. Huber has been investigating these possible crimes for five months, since November 13, 2017.
During an interview on Lou Dobbs's Fox Business Network show, Turley explained to guest host Stuart Varney that the media are wrongly reporting that Sessions will not appoint a second special counsel. "He did not foreclose the possibility of a special counsel," he insisted.
Instead, Turley explained that Sessions has ordered Huber to "team up with the inspector general (IG) within the Justice Department to investigate these matters."
Sessions informed Congress in his letter that all the matters recommended for investigation by Goodlatte, Gowdy, and Grassley are "fully within the scope of [Huber's] existing mandate." He also informed the chairmen that Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is working with Huber, has a staff of 470 investigators, giving Huber access to enormous investigative firepower that far exceeds the staff of any special counsel.

https://m.washingtontimes.comDemocrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday demanded President Donald Trump withdraw his nominee of Brian Benczkowski to head the Department of Justice's Criminal Division, claiming his ties to a Russian bank could undermine the special counsel's probe.
Mr. Benczkowski, currently a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, ran the Trump transition team at the Justice Department. He was nominated last year to lead the department's criminal division, which is overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's Russian election interference investigation as well as the probe of Mr. Cohen, the president's personal attorney.

A newly uncovered letter reveals that U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Senator Chuck Grassley, wrote U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on November 15, 2017 with serious concerns about Haley Barbour's lobbying firm BGR Government Affairs. Grassley's concerns centered around BGR Government Affairs' lobbying involvement on behalf of Uranium One, which is a Canadian based company that is owned by the Russian government. Barbour is listed on the BGR's website as a founding partner and is active in the firms lobbying efforts.
https://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/ukraine-hired-gop-firm-obstructed-mueller-investigation.html
The Ukrainian government hired Haley Barbour, former Republican National Committee chairman and founding partner of BGR Group, to lobby in the United States just after Trump was elected, according to foreign lobbying registration documents filed with the Justice Department. Ed Rogers, the chairman of BGR, was hired for the lobbying work, too. The firm has ties to this White House: The Trump transition team held meetings with lobbyists at BGR Group's offices, according to the Washington Post. And Rogers is "as inner circle Jeff Sessions as they come," a source with knowledge of their relationship told me on condition of anonymity, referring to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. (Both men are from Alabama.) BGR also worked with Corey Lewandowski.

Judge Demands Intelligence Agencies Stop Stonewalling In BuzzFeed Case
AUGUST 6, 2018 By Juliana Knot
On Friday District Judge Amit P. Mehta upheld BuzzFeed's motion to compel the U.S. government to answer questions about the infamous Christopher Steele dossier. BuzzFeed published the dossier in January 2017. At the time, it reportedly proved collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and contained allegations about a "pee-pee tape." The dossier's allegations were unverified and relied on political opposition research.
Aleksej Gubarev sued the Internet news outlet for defamation because the dossier included a paragraph that falsely said his company Webzilla was plotting to breach the Democratic Party's cybersecurity. BuzzFeed is claiming "fair report privilege," which grants protection for news outlets publishing "fair and accurate" reports on government action.
BuzzFeed originally issued seven subpoenas in June 2017, asking for testimony and documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Justice, and Office of the Director for National Intelligence (ODNI), as well as from former FBI director James Comey. former director of national intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA director John Brennan.
The intelligence agencies rejected all of those requests, stating that they weren't relevant to the case, required undue burden for the government, and compromised the current investigation into Russian collusion. BuzzFeed then narrowed its subpoena drastically, asking instead for answers to three questions.
Revised Narrowed Topic No. 3: The Government need only respond to one of the following and shall specify in its affidavit whether it is answering (A) or (B):
(A) Prior to 5:20 p.m. EST on January 10, 2017, did the FBI and/or any of the other Defendant agencies possess the two-page memorandum contained within the Dossier dated December 13, 2017, i.e., Report 2016/166?
(B) Prior to 5:20 p.m. EST on January 10, 2017, did the FBI and/or any of the other Defendant agencies possess all 35 pages of the Dossier?
Revised Narrowed Topic No. 7: Did the FBI receive from Senator John McCain a copy of the first 33 pages of the Dossier (i.e., all pages other than Report 2016/166) on or about December 9, 2016?
Revised Narrowed Topic No. 8: Did Mr. Clapper, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Brennan, and/or Mr. Comey, before January 10, 2017, brief President Obama about allegations contained in the Dossier?
The U.S. government rejected these "substantially narrowed" questions again, claiming undue burden and "very real" threats to the Russia investigation. Mehta dismissed these claims on the basis that these questions are highly relevant to the case, pose little work for the government to provide, and won't compromise privileged information. The judge was a little cheeky when referring to the undue burden argument.
What started as a demand for documents and testimony covering nine separate topics is now a request to respond by sworn affidavit to three discrete questions, which likely can be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no.' Not a heavy lift.
The court ordered that the government's response have a protective order. Only the attorneys for BuzzFeed and Gubarev will be able to view the government's response, and the answers will be sealed.
BuzzFeed has since published a statement regarding the ruling.

Dossier author
Steele is
a former British spy hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to gather dirt on candidate Donald Trump. The FBI offered to pay Steele for his research, but it is unclear if he actually received money. Fusion GPS was also a client of both the
Clinton campaign
and the Democratic National Committee. The dossier was the basis for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
warrant
to secretly surveil Trump associate and American citizen Carter Page.
Steele recently gave his deposition for the BuzzFeed trial, and as a result, Senator Chuck Grassley
requested the deposition

Q Research General #3100 Red Wave Incoming?? Edition
Q post from February 6 that I think is coming into relevancy in light of the recent Q drops about FISA on Thursday and the graphics posted on PF yesterday. The posts (pic related) was a link to FBI structure & leadership page with Ghattas profile. It was late at night, I was exhausted & e-baking (I think) on no sleep and everyone was fervently digging with little effect, when I came upon the attached text from Newsweek article. I tied a few things together but then we talked about Ghattas but very little digz after that. So, I am bringing him up again. Dig or don't, this post contains most of the clues that led us to little that night but I feel like there is more that we know within. I think the autist complete answer to the question ["Who is Ghattas and why is he so important but only mentioned once by Q?"] is the killbox here.

SENATE INVESTIGATORS WILL INTERVIEW FBI OFFICIALS ABOUT TRUMP'S FIRING OF COMEY
Following weeks of negotiations, the Department of Justice has agreed to let two FBI officials meet with Senate investigators, who are expected to raise questions related to the firing of former FBI Director James Comey and the bureau's probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email system.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is investigating Comey's conduct as head of the bureau and President Donald Trump's firing of him in May. After the former director told the Senate Intelligence Committee in June that he had spoken with colleagues about his encounters with Trump, the Senate Judiciary Committee asked the Justice Department to make Jim Rybicki, Comey's former chief of staff, and Carl Ghattas, the executive assistant director in charge of the bureau's national security branch, available for interviews.
The Justice Department denied that initial request, saying the interviews might conflict with the efforts of Robert Mueller, the special counsel overseeing the FBI investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible coordination with the Trump campaign.
The Justice Department did not specify the connection the two officials had to the special counsel probe. ((("Our understanding is that DOJ is saying that Mr. Rybicki and Mr. Ghattas supervise FBI agents who are supporting Mr. Mueller's investigation,"))) Taylor Foy, a committee spokesman, told Newsweek by email in August. "The special counsel uses and interacts with the FBI like any other DOJ prosecutor." Peter Carr, a spokesman for the special counsel, declined to comment at the time, citing the ongoing investigation.
On August 25, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a follow-up request to the Justice Department, saying, "There is no intent to seek information about these witnesses' current work with the special counsel's office. Rather, we seek their independent recollections, as fact witnesses, of events that occurred before and including Director Comey's removal." But the department again denied the request.
On Monday, Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote in letters that he had learned the FBI had made members of the Office of the Special Counsel, which is also reviewing Comey's conduct and firing, sign nondisclosure agreements before making FBI witnesses available for interviews. (That office is a permanent federal investigative agency and separate from the Mueller effort.) In doing so, Grassley wrote, "the FBI held key information hostage." Spokespeople for both the FBI and the Office of the Special Counsel declined to comment on the letters.
Then, Grassley disclosed in another letter on Wedneday that the Justice Department has agreed to let his panel interview Ghattas and Rybicki. The interviews come with conditions from the Justice Department, according to Grassley. The department said the interviews must happen in a classified setting; the committee must not ask questions related to the Mueller investigation; a Justice Department representative must attend; and the witnesses and department must be able to access the interview transcripts afterward.
In the letter on Wednesday, addressed to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is overseeing the Mueller investigation, Grassley said that if the witnesses cannot answer certain questions, the committee might have to subpoena them. The letter did not indicate when the interviews will take place.

SARA CARTER: GOP Lawmakers Demand Declassification of Bruce Ohr FBI Interviews
Lawmakers are demanding the declassification of the FBI's 302 notes on 12 interviews they conducted with twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr between December 2016 - May 2017.
The FBI interviews will shed light on Bruce Ohr's relationship with Fusion GPS, the oppo research firm his wife, Nellie Ohr worked for.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is especially frustrated with the DOJ's stonewalling as he has been seeking documents on Bruce Ohr for several months.
Sara Carter reported:
The lawmakers say Ohr's close relationship with former British spy and dossier author, Christopher Steele is deeply troubling. Also concerning to lawmakers is the fact that even after Steele was terminated by the FBI (he worked as a source until he was fired for "unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI"), Ohr continued to supply documents from the ex-spy to the bureau.
Lawmakers tell SaraACarter.com that the interview documents (known as 302s) should be declassified because they believe it will reveal the extent of Ohr's involvement with Fusion GPS, his relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS owner Glenn Simpson, and his communications with FBI officials investigating Trump's campaign.
"Ohr was one of the top officials at DOJ and they told the court they had terminated Steele, but Ohr was continuing to meet with Steele despite his termination and then (he was) feeding the information to the FBI," said Nunes on Thursday. "It is completely appropriate for Grassley to ask for these documents to be declassified."
Bruce Ohr funneled information from Steele and Fusion GPS directly to the FBI even after Steele was fired, according to Nunes' FISA memo which was declassified in February.
According to the FISA memo, Bruce Ohr told the FBI during his interviews that Steele "was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president."
Bruce Ohr's tight relationship with the FBI was confirmed by Peter Strzok in his Congressional testimony a couple weeks ago. Peter Strzok admitted Bruce Ohr gave the FBI extensive material related to Hillary's phony dossier.
In May, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to the Department of Justice demanding communications between former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr and dossier author, former British spy, Christopher Steele.
In addition to asking for communications from Bruce Ohr, Grassley requested the DOJ arrange for the former Associate Deputy AG to be interviewed by Committee staff.
Grassley sent another letter to DAG Rod Rosenstein in July formally requesting the declassification of the FD-302 interview summaries in which Bruce Ohr relayed his contacts with Christopher Steele, and requested that they produce the declassified versions directly to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"There is no continuing justification for the FBI to keep the documents secret," Grassley said in his letter.
Sean Hannity warned Thursday evening something big is coming out that will blow the Russia hoax out of the water.

Justice Department Is Silent About Why It Has Failed To Preserve Comey Emails In FOIA Case
The Department of Justice is refusing to preserve work-related emails on former FBI Director James Comey's private account.
The Justice Department Inspector General disclosed that Comey used a personal email account to conduct agency business.
The Justice Department has refused to turn over government records on Comey's personal account, which The Daily Caller News Foundation and Judicial Watch requested under the Freedom of Information Act.
The Department of Justice has refused to take any steps to preserve work-related emails former FBI Director James Comey had on a personal account that The Daily Caller News Foundation and Judicial Watch requested under the Freedom of Information Act, the conservative watchdog will file in court Friday.
"There is nothing but complete silence about why the FBI has failed to take steps to preserve records responsive to DCNF's request," Judicial Watch attorney Michael Bekesha will write in the filing before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Judicial Watch and TheDCNF filed a joint lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act on April 25 seeking records, including emails, Comey produced regarding meetings and conversations he had with then-President Barack Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden and a variety of other political figures.
Following the Justice Department Inspector General's June 2018 report, which disclosed that Comey used a personal Gmail account for official FBI business, both groups sought a preservation order to assure no records related to their FOIA requests were lost or destroyed.
Both groups requested U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly order the Justice Department to preserve all of Comey's personal emails related to the two requests on July 27.
The same day, Kollar-Kotelly took the unusual step of demanding an expedited reply from the Justice Department, ordering that the agency respond to the court by Aug. 1 and to respond to Judicial Watch and TheDCNF by Aug. 3. (RELATED: Daily Caller News Foundation And Judicial Watch Seek To Preserve Comey's Private Emails)
In its reply to the court on Aug. 1, Justice Department U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu continued to refuse to send an order to Comey or share its communications with the former director seeking the preservation of all his personal emails related to the FOIA requests.
In its opposition to the preservation request, the Justice Department stated, "even if they [sic] were a possibility of responsive records in Director Comey's personal email, Plaintiffs cannot meet their burden of showing that such records would be lost without a preservation order."
Comey has been cagey about the number of times he met with and had conversations with Obama. An email Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, wrote and sent to herself on Inauguration Day noted for the record that Obama, Biden, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and herself met with Comey.
Committee on the Judiciary members Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina discovered Rice's email. The email was at odds with his June 8, 2017, testimonybefore the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, in which he suggested that his firsthand meetings with Obama were rare.
"As FBI director, I interacted with President Obama. I spoke only twice in three years," he said. "I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) - once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016," Comey's opening statement to the Intelligence Committee read.
Bekesha wrote that the FBI's assistant section chief for record dissemination "does not state that the FBI formally requested Comey preserve any agency records or potential agency records responsive to DCNF's FOIA request. Nor does he state that the FBI asked Comey to return any such records to the FBI."
Judicial Watch, in its May 22 FOIA, asked for any documents or memoranda written or ordered written by Comey summarizing his conversations with any of the following individuals: Obama, Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona
TheDCNF requested records that identify and describe all meetings between Comey and Obama on Feb. 16.

Emails show Huma Abedin's ties to private spy consulting firms Teneo and In-Q-Tel specializing in political coups
Fully qualified to hide a TV camera in Trump's microwave, Smart TV or ceiling fan?
By Rachael Bade and Eric Draitser
A spring 2012 email to Hillary Clinton's top State Department aide, Huma Abedin, asked for help winning a presidential appointment for a supporter of the Clinton Foundation, according to a chain obtained by POLITICO.
The messages illustrate the relationship between Clinton's most trusted confidante and the private consulting company that asked for the favor, Teneo - a global firm that later hired Abedin. Abedin signed on with the company while she still held a State Department position, a dual employment that is now being examined by congressional investigators.
Abedin's status as a "special government employee" has been questioned by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who has raised concerns about any overlapping duties and whether they posed potential conflicts of interest. Abedin also worked as an adviser to the Clinton Foundation, the nonprofit founded by former President Bill Clinton.

Feinstein, Grassley to Justice Department: Enforce Kidnapping Laws
WASHINGTON - Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), ranking member and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, have requested Attorney General Jeff Sessions detail steps the Justice Department is taking to adhere to the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act and return U.S. citizen children to their parents. The letter follows a Judiciary Committee hearing on the issue.
"Unfortunately, our review of public records suggests individuals are rarely-if ever-prosecuted under this statute. Worse still, our conversations with victims of international parental child abduction and their advocates suggests that many federal prosecutors are either unaware of the statute's existence or do not understand the vital role the threat of prosecution can play in securing the return of abducted children. It is clear that the Department can do more with respect to IPKCA," the senators wrote.

Grassley, Feinstein Seek Investigation into Alleged Abuse at Immigrant Detention Facilities
WASHINGTON - Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif), the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today sought an investigation into allegations of sexual, physical and emotional abuse at ICE and HHS detention facilities charged with holding immigrants.
"These allegations of abuse are extremely disturbing and must be addressed. This is not a partisan issue as reporting suggests many have been occurring for years. Immigrant families and children kept in federal custody deserve to be treated with basic human dignity and respect and should never be subjected to these forms of abuse," the senators wrote.
In a letter to the inspectors general for the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, Grassley and Feinstein outline troubling allegations dating back years. They sought an immediate investigation into the allegations and pressed for any findings to be made public. The senators also requested that each inspector general make policy recommendations to their respective departments on how best to prevent future abuse.
Tomorrow morning, at 10 a.m. ET, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold an oversight hearing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and family reunification efforts.
Full text of Grassley's and Feinstein's letter follows.
The Honorable John V. Kelly
Deputy Inspector General
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Office of the Inspector General
Washington, D.C. 20528-0305
The Honorable Daniel R. Levinson
Inspector General
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Office of the Inspector General
Washington, D.C. 20026
Dear Inspector General Kelly and Inspector General Levinson:
We write to you today regarding serious and disturbing allegations of physical and sexual abuse of detainees by guards and other staff at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Health and Human Services (HHS) facilities. Although many of these allegations date back to 2014 and 2015, and some even further, reviewing past claims could help prevent future problems by ensuring migrants currently placed in facilities are protected against all forms of physical, emotional, and sexual assault. These allegations demonstrate a long-term pattern of abuse warranting a thorough investigation into the claims, including the process and procedure by which any guards or contracted staff are hired, trained, and vetted.
On July 17, 2018, the New York Times published a detailed report describing the alleged sexual abuse two migrants experienced at an ICE Residential Detention Center.[1] In 2015, a 19-year-old asylum seeker staying in a family detention center in Pennsylvania was sexually assaulted by a male guard and felt compelled to engage in sexual acts because she "didn't know how to refuse because he told me I was going to be deported."[2] In the same article, another migrant claimed that while she was in transit to the Hutto Residential Detention Center in Texas her guard "grabbed her breasts...put his hands in [her] pants and . . . touched [her] private parts."[3] Additionally, early last year, advocates raised serious concerns about the handling of sexual abuse allegations at the same facility, alleging that detainees reported abuse at Hutto, but that employees involved in the allegation were permitted to continue to work with detainees.[4] Sadly, it appears these cases may be far too common as ICE has reported 1,310 claims of sexual abuse against detainees from 2013 to 2017.[5]

GOP senators question 'unusual' message Susan Rice sent herself on Inauguration Day
By Olivia Beavers - 02/12/18 05:39 PM EST
Two top Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee are questioning former national security adviser Susan Rice about an "unusual" message she sent to herself on Jan 20, 2017 - President Trump's Inauguration Day.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) questioned Rice about why she sent a note detailing a conversation she observed on Jan. 5 between then-FBI Director James Comey and then-President Obama.
"It strikes us as odd that, among your activities in the final moments on the final day of the Obama administration, you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual email purporting to document a conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the Trump/Russia investigation," they wrote in a letter to Rice.
They said that in the message, Rice noted how Obama repeatedly emphasized during the meeting on Russia's election hacking with Comey that he wants every aspect of the issue handled "by the book."
"The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book," Rice wrote, according to an excerpt included in the senators' letter. "From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming [Trump] team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia."
Grassley and Graham said despite her repeated mention of Obama stressing the need for a proper investigation, "substantial questions have arisen about whether officials at the FBI, as well as at the Justice Department and the State Department, actually did proceed 'by the book.' "
They asked Rice to address roughly a dozen questions related to her note and what she knew at the time about the Russia investigation, like whether she has "any reason to dispute the timestamp of the email" as well as other surrounding circumstances of her note.

Grassley Seeks Documents for Supreme Court Nomination
WASHINGTON - Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today requested special access to documents related to Judge Brett Kavanaugh's legal work in the White House, as the committee evaluates his nomination to the Supreme Court. In a letter to National Archives staff at the George W. Bush Presidential Library, Grassley sought all emails sent to or from Judge Kavanaugh during his time in the White House Counsel's Office, all paper files maintained by Judge Kavanaugh in that position and all documents relating to his nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Grassley also made the following statement:
"For nearly two weeks, I've attempted to seek a good-faith agreement from the Ranking Member to jointly request documents relating to Judge Kavanaugh's legal work in the White House. For nearly two weeks, I've found myself either waiting for a response to my proposals or faced with unprecedented and unreasonable counter-proposals.
"Even when I suggested that we jointly request documents that both sides want while continuing to negotiate other categories, the Ranking Member declined. The Minority rejected out of hand multiple accommodations that I'd offered to assist in targeting material they believe is relevant. Instead, they demanded that we expand the request to require a search of every email from every one of the hundreds of White House staffers who served alongside Judge Kavanaugh for nearly six years, to find records that merely mention his name.
"So today, on behalf of the committee, I submitted a request for documents related to Judge Kavanaugh's time in the White House Counsel's Office. I expect the production to be the largest ever in the Senate's consideration of a Supreme Court nominee. In the meantime, I'm eager to review Judge Kavanaugh's 307 judicial opinions, the hundreds of other opinions that he joined and the 6,168 pages he already provided to us, which are publicly available right now and will provide the greatest insight into his fitness for the high court. As I have said repeatedly, I am not going to put the American taxpayers on the hook for the Senate Democrats' fishing expedition."

"I appreciate Judge Kavanaugh's diligent and timely response to the broadest and most comprehensive questionnaire ever sent by this Committee. In his 12-plus years on the D.C. Circuit, Judge Kavanaugh has authored more than 300 opinions and joined hundreds of others, all of which are publicly available. Additionally, Judge Kavanaugh's public record includes dozens of speeches and writings. These voluminous materials will provide us a very good understanding of Judge Kavanaugh's qualifications and legal thinking - including how Judge Kavanaugh goes about finding, interpreting, and applying the law. I look forward to reviewing this and other materials, along with hearing from Judge Kavanaugh and the other hearing witnesses, as a part of the Committee's fair, thorough and efficient vetting process," Grassley said.

Acting CIA watchdog steps down, withdraws IG nomination
The acting watchdog at the CIA, who has been accused of retaliating against whistleblowers, is resigning, the agency confirmed Friday.
Christopher Sharpley, whose nomination for the agency's inspector general post had stalled in the Senate, said in a memo to employees that he is stepping down within 30 days.
"After three decades of public service, he has decided to continue his career outside the agency, and we wish him the best in this new chapter," CIA spokesman Ryan Trapani said in a statement. "CIA's commitment to rigorous, independent oversight is unwavering, and the Office of Inspector General will carry on that important mission through the transition."
Sharpley is also withdrawing his inspector general nomination, CNN reported.
His reason for resigning from the agency and withdrawing his nomination was not immediately clear.
The Senate wasn't prepared to advance Sharpley's nomination until a resolution to complaints from two former CIA employees-turned-whistleblowers who alleged retaliation, according to a congressional aide who wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke only on condition of anonymity.
"Sharpley figured out he wasn't going to be confirmed and decided to step aside," said John Tye, executive director of Whistleblower Aid, who is representing two of the complainants alleging retaliation.
One complainant is Jonathan Kaplan, 59, a former special agent and investigator in the inspector general's office who spent 33 years at the CIA.
A second is Andrew Bakaj, 35, who worked in that office as a special agent from 2012 to 2015. He was instrumental in developing agency regulations governing whistleblower reprisal investigations.
"I'm unaware of any open investigations on me, the details of any complaints about me," Sharpley testified at his confirmation hearing last October.
Sens. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Ron Wyden say they find it hard to believe Sharpley didn't know about the complaints when he testified.
"How is it possible that he could have been unaware of any open investigations against him at the time he testified?" Grassley, R-Iowa, and Wyden, D-Ore., asked in a letter they wrote to Senate Intelligence Committee leaders.
They said one of the open cases was being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security's internal watchdog.
Representatives for those former CIA employees told the Associated Press last year that there has been friction for several years within the inspector general's office, an independent unit created in 1989 to oversee the spy agency.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Sens. Chuck Grassley and Orrin Hatch: Mens rea reform and the criminal justice reform constellation
by Sen. Chuck Grassley
& Sen. Orrin Hatch
| July 19, 2018 12:00 AM
A growing chorus of voices from across the country and political spectrum are calling out for reforms to our nation's criminal justice system, and rightfully so. Our criminal justice system should be tough but fair. Criminal behavior should be punished, but the punishment should fit the crime. And those we send to prison should be afforded opportunities to participate in programs that prepare them to rejoin society when they complete their sentences.
As Congress works on bills to improve fairness in sentencing and bolster programs to better prepare inmates for life after prison, we should not ignore the root problem of overcriminalization. There are more than 4,500 criminal laws on the books and more regulatory crimes than the Congressional Research Service was able to count.
And when many of these crimes are drafted without clear criminal intent requirements, it becomes increasingly easy for unsuspecting Americans to be sent to jail for conduct they had no idea was against the law.

>>The Russian-born, partly U.S.-educated Samochornov is a former project manager at the Meridian International Center, a subcontracted nonprofit hired by the U.S. State Department where, according to his LinkedIn profile, he worked on programs to "establish an understanding of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives for current and future international leaders," and served as an interpreter at "high level UN and private sector meetings for the Secretary of State and other VIPs."
Samochornov was also apparently a "program officer" at the FBI's field office in New York, according to an FBI press release.<<
RUSSIAN WORKED WITH FBI SINCE 2010 LOLOL
>>Following the introduction by Program Officer Anatoli Samochornov, A/SAC Anderson gave a brief summary of the international scope of the FBI under circumstances relating to counterterrorism and criminal cases and the collaboration between various countries' national intelligence services, based on her own extensive background and international cases she investigated. Discussing common security threats and teamwork between the U.S. and our European allies, Anderson provided insight on the FBI and our global reach in fighting international crimes and terrorism.<<

AND GUESS WHO ELSE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT?? FUSION GPS. lololol
>>USA v. Prevezon
During 2015 and 2016, Fusion GPS was hired by the Baker Hostetler law firm which was defending Prevezon from an asset seizure by the U.S. government. As part of their litigation support, Fusion GPS investigated Bill Browder, a witness central to the case. During the course of the case, Browder claimed that Fusion GPS had previously been hired to undertake a pro-Russia campaign to aimed at stopping passage of the Magnitsky Act, named after Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer and auditor who died while being held without charges in a Russian government prison after he revealed that the Kremlin had stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from Hermitage Capital Management.
On March 30, 2017, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa called for a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into connections between Fusion GPS and Russia, and an inquiry as to whether Fusion GPS was acting as an unregistered foreign agent. The company has denied the claim that they were engaged in lobbying or violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act.<<

After The Strzok Stonewall: WSJ Says Trump Should Declassify This To Expose The Truth
While the left and the liberal media desperately defended 'FBI lovebird' Peter Strzok this week as he came under attack from a rightly angry 'right' over the level of cognitive dissonance required to ignore his text expletions and 'assume' no bias, The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel was carefully observing and asking 'awkward' questions…
On the question of Strzok's bias and whether we should believe he didn't act on it. The question every American should ask is this: How would you feel if he'd expressed such disgust toward you, and was also investigating you?
- Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) July 12, 2018
But it is the full Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal that today's lays out the path ahead, after Strzok's stonewalling - Here's what Trump should declassify if he wants the truth known…
FBI agent Peter Strzok's appearance before Congress Thursday was a predictable political circus, and here's what we learned: President Trump will have to declassify a host of documents if he wants Americans to learn the truth about what happened in 2016.
Mr. Strzok was combative, and he pointed to an FBI lawyer in the room as reason not to disclose much of anything about his investigation into the Russia connections of the Trump campaign. Under pressure from Ohio's Jim Jordan, Mr. Strzok did reveal that Justice Department official Bruce Ohr acted as a channel between the opposition-research firm Fusion GPS and the FBI in 2016. We already knew that Mr. Ohr's wife Nellie worked for Fusion.
This means that Fusion, an outfit on the payroll of the Clinton campaign, had a messenger on the government payroll to deliver its anti-Trump documents to the FBI. This confirms that the FBI relied on politically motivated sources as part of its probe, even as Mr. Strzok insists he showed no political bias in his investigating decisions.
Yet if this is the most Congress could pry out of the FBI's lead Russia investigator over 10 hours, legislative oversight won't discover the truth. Mr. Trump will have to help Congress by ordering Justice and the FBI to declassify the relevant documents. Consistent with protecting legitimate sources and methods, here is the document list Mr. Trump should want released:
The FISA applications. Justice and the FBI made one application and three renewals for warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The text of those applications would show the degree to which the FBI relied on the dossier compiled by Christopher Steele at the request of Fusion GPS. They would also show how honest FBI and Justice were with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that approves warrants.
Woods procedures documents. The FBI is required to vet and support the facts its presents to a FISA court when it seeks a warrant to eavesdrop on a U.S. citizen. These rules are known as Woods procedures, and releasing sections of this Woods file would show the extent to which the FBI verified the dossier or other evidence it used as its justification to listen to Trump campaign aides. More broadly, Mr. Trump should declassify any document that demonstrates what the FBI and Justice knew about the provenance and accuracy of the Fusion-Steele dossier.
The 302s. These forms include information taken from the notes FBI agents make while interviewing a source or subject. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley last week asked Justice to declassify the 302s for 12 separate FBI interviews with Mr. Ohr concerning his contacts with Mr. Steele. Declassifying other 302s related to the subjects in this probe (including former Trump aides George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn ) would reveal what the FBI was told, who provided what information, and how much came from politically motivated sources.
The 1023s. These are the equivalent of 302s for counterintelligence, and they document FBI debriefings with informants or sources. Mr. Trump should declassify these and other documents showing interaction between the FBI and Mr. Steele, Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, Fusion backer Dan Jones, informant Stefan Halper, or anyone the FBI used to keep tabs on the Trump campaign. These documents would reveal the extent and dates of the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign.

Q Research General #2687: That's President Trump to you
Toilet seat covers that cost $10,000? Coffee mugs for $1,200 apiece? No wonder NATO countries aren't too keen to follow US military spending benchmarks. Even the Pentagon is looking for better deals and 3D printing for savings.
While President Donald Trump browbeats NATO allies into increasing their military spending, the US Department of Defense is spending untold amounts of taxpayer money on common items it could buy off the shelf or even make in-house, were the military actually allowed to do so.
In one recently reported example, crews of the air tankers and cargo planes based at the Travis Air Force Base in southern California live in dread of dropping the special cups designed to reheat coffee or tea on long flights. The metal cup's fragile plastic handle is prone to breaking, and there are no replacements to be found, requiring the Air Force to spend up to $1,220 for an entirely new mug.
The 60th Aerial Port Squadron has spent almost $56,000 over the past three years on new mugs, the Air Force Times reported on Monday, describing the drinking vessel as "worth its weight in gold." Indeed, just this year the USAF spent $32,000 on just 25 cups.
While the Pentagon is still going through its first-ever internal audit, the staggering cost of items such as coffee mugs and toilet seats certainly helps explain where some of that $700 billion-plus in taxpayer funds is going every year.
The root of the problem is that the Pentagon makes bad deals, as Trump might say. When the Department of Defense contracts for purchases, the contracts seldom include intellectual property rights, which allows contractors to charge through the nose for repairs and replacements -or lack thereof- down the road, according to Dan Grazier, former Marine tanker and a fellow at Project On Government Oversight (POGO).
The Air Force could 3D print many components, but it doesn't own the rights to do so, Assistant Secretary for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Will Roper told Defense One in May. He brought up the issue of the toilet seat covers for the C-17 Globemaster transports, which cost $10,000 because USAF is not allowed to 3D print them for $300.
"You'll think, 'There's no way it costs that'," Roper said. "No, it doesn't, but you're asking a company to produce it and they're [busy] producing something else."
The story has caught the eye, and ire, of Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who wrote to the Pentagon's deputy inspector general in June, saying that "there is no way to justify a $10,000.00 price tag for a toilet seat lid. It's just not credible. It needs scrutiny."
As of Tuesday, there has been no response, Grassley's office said.
When it comes to the coffee mugs, however, the Air Force has finally decided to do something. Captain Ryan McGuire of the 60th Air Mobility Wing turned to designers and engineers in the Phoenix Spark program for a cheaper solution.
"The handle currently on the hot cup has a square bottom which creates a weak point on the handle so any time it is dropped, the handle splits shortly after impact," said Nicholas Wright, a volunteer 3D designer and printer with Phoenix Spark, according to a Travis AFB release. "Our new rounded handle reduces that weak point. The handle we designed is stronger and capable of being printed at most Air Force bases."
Now it's up to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio to approve the design, so it can go into production.
It may seem like the US government has never had any sense when it came to contracting, with an oft-quoted myth about NASA spending millions on a space pen while the Soviets used pencils to get around the problem of writing in zero gravity. The actual story is somewhat different, however.
NASA was indeed wasteful in its contracting, paying a Texas-based company $128.89 apiece for some 34 mechanical pencils in 1965. That same year, the Fisher Pen Company patented the "space pen" it researched at its own expense. By 1968, both NASA and the Soviets were buying pens from Fisher in bulk, at $2.39 each, according to Scientific American.

Grassley: Judge Kavanaugh a Respected Jurist
WASHINGTON - Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today met D.C. Circuit Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the meeting, Chairman Grassley congratulated Judge Kavanaugh on his nomination and discussed the general process going forward as the Senate prepares to review his record. Judge Kavanaugh also discussed his steadfast application of a judicial philosophy that respects the letter of the law and the Constitution.
Following the meeting, Chairman Grassley made this statement:
"I just had a pleasant conversation with Judge Kavanaugh. He and I have not interacted a lot in our lifetime, so getting acquainted with him again is very important. He's a respected jurist in the court he sits on. He's written many outstanding opinions that I think are going to be gone through by every lawyer, at least on our committee.
"Today, we discussed the general process of considering and confirming nominees to the Supreme Court. I intend this process to be thorough, fair and efficient. We will evaluate his record, which by all preliminary accounts, is outstanding. I look forward to learning more about Judge Kavanaugh as we move forward with the advice and consent process."

Q Research General #2653: I Believe In The You That Beleves In Me Edition!
Grassley: Judge Kavanaugh is a Superb Candidate for Supreme Court
WASHINGTON - Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) tonight made the following comment on President Trump's nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Judge Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees to come before the Senate. His credentials are well known, and he's served with distinction as a judge on the esteemed D.C. Circuit for more than a decade. He is a superb mainstream candidate worthy of the Senate's consideration," Grassley said.
"As we have always done when reviewing nominees for lifetime-appointed judgeships, the Senate Judiciary Committee will conduct a fair and comprehensive evaluation of the nominee's background and qualifications followed by hearings where we'll hear directly from the nominee as we fulfill our advice and consent responsibility."
Brett Kavanaugh currently serves as judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Washington. He was confirmed for the judgeship in 2006 after being nominated by President George W. Bush.
Judge Kavanaugh previously served in the White House Counsel's Office and then as the White House Staff Secretary under President Bush. He also served as Associate Counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel under Ken Starr.
Judge Kavanaugh received a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University in 1987 and then a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School in 1990. He clerked for two federal appeals court judges and Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. He also worked in private practice in Washington, D.C.

Q Research General #2625: When The Going Gets Tough... Edition
AMERICA FOR SALE
ARRA/HRC 2.12.09 very bad dig…
See pb >>2079910 to see how I got started on this dig
Facts:
MI company A123 won the first $249.1M ARRA Grant
A123 goes bankrupt and a CHINESE firm acquires and renames B456 (same name as a fire extinguisher)!
"We are excited to add A123 Systems to our growing portfolio of companies as we continue to expand on our strategy of investing in the automotive and clean-tech industries in the U.S.," said Pin Ni, president of Wanxiang America. "A123 will continue to offer cutting-edge technology for vehicle electrification and grid-scale energy storage, strong manufacturing and systems engineering capabilities and a world-class R&D team. Wanxiang America will continue to foster the technologies A123 has worked so hard to develop, and we believe this combination positions A123 for long-term success."
A123 CEO Dave Vieau left to "pursue other interests.
CONGRESS WONDERS IF THIS MOVE WAS A NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERN
In November, Michigan's two senators and 11 House members raised concerns that the acquisition of A123 by a Chinese company may pose a threat to U.S. national security.
CONGRESS UPSET INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PAID FOR WITH TAX PAYER MONEY BEING SOLD TO CHINA
Huizenga said he is "currently looking into legislative solutions to prevent both taxpayer-funded and sensitive technologies from being sold to foreign companies in the future."
U.S. Sens. John Thune, R-S.D., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, also criticized the decision.
"Technology produced by A123 and funded by U.S. taxpayers should not simply be shipped off to China so that the military applications for these materials can be reproduced abroad, Thune said.
Grassley agreed: "We don't have any answers on whether U.S. national security concerns are protected. The only thing that's clear is a foreign-owned company will benefit from the millions of dollars given to A123 through the president's stimulus package. That's troubling."

The DNC operative Republicans say dug for dirt on Trump By Ebony Bowden November 13, 2019 | 12:16pm | Updated https://archive.fo/cYnNG A new cast of characters emerged at Wednesday’s impeachment hearings — including Alexandra Chalupa, a former Democratic National Committee contractor and staffer who dug for dirt on the Trump campaign with help from Ukrainian officials. Chalupa, a Ukrainian American who calls herself a “human rights lobbyist,†made a cameo minutes into the opening statement of House Intelligence Committee ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) in which he railed against the Democrats’ secretive impeachment process. “Violating their own guidelines, Democrats repeatedly redacted from transcripts the name of Alexandra Chalupa, a contractor for the Democratic National Committee who worked with Ukrainian officials to collect dirt on the Trump campaign which she provided to the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign,†Nunes said. Chalupa is the founder of a Washington political consulting firm and is co-chair of the DNC’s Ethnic Council, which reaches out to diaspora groups around the country to increase voter turnout, according to her LinkedIn. But her most important role to date appears to be her investigation into Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign manager, and his ties with Russia — which she conducted with the help of Ukrainian officials. The investigation provoked a firestorm in 2017 and prominent Republicans such as Sen. Chuck Grassley publicly accused Chalupa of working with Ukraine, the DNC and the Clinton campaign to undermine Trump’s candidacy.

Answer: WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Confidential banking records related to Hunter Biden in Senate hands: Report by Alana Goodman | February 06, 2020 03:21 PM https://archive.is/FQuHn The U.S. Treasury Department has started turning over confidential banking records related to Hunter Biden in response to requests from Senate investigative committees. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson asked the treasury in November for "suspicious activity reports," banking alerts involving money laundering or fraud, related to Biden and his associates. Grassley's and Johnson's committees have been investigating whether the Obama administration took official action to help the business interests of Biden while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president. The Republican senators asked the treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for suspicious activity reports involving Hunter Biden, his business partner Devon Archer, their firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, the Ukrainian oil company Burisma Holdings, and other related companies and individuals. In the letter, they asked the department to turn over the records by Dec. 5, 2019.
