'Iran-Linked Lobby Behind Obama Nuclear Deal Is Back in Action
A lobbying group with alleged ties to the Islamic Republic of Iran is exerting its influence in Congress amid heightened U.S.-Iranian tensions over recent deadly episodes, including the American drone killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. In recent weeks the Washington, D.C.-based National Iranian American Council, which played a pivotal backstage role in securing the Obama-era nuclear deal abandoned by President Trump, has worked in public and behind the scenes to shape America's response to the conflict.
On Jan. 7, after Iran fired missiles at U.S. military bases in Iraq, the group issued a statement saying, "Donald Trump owns this 100%." The next day, Jan. 8, it co-hosted a "No War With Iran Strategy Call" that featured presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, along with Reps. Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna, both California Democrats. On Dec. 12, weeks before the crisis was touched off by an Iranian-led attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the lobbying group backed a letter sent to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin by 17 Democratic members of Congress, urging the Trump administration to lift economic sanctions on Iran.
In response to the group's continued influence inside the Beltway, and at a time of alarm about foreign meddling in American politics, three Republican senators - Arkansas' Tom Cotton, Indiana's Mike Braun, and Texas' Ted Cruz - last week sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr "urging the Department of Justice to investigate the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) and its sister organization, NIAC Action, for potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act." According to the senators, the group "purports to improve understanding between American and Iranian people but in reality seems to spread propaganda and lobby on behalf of the Iranian government."
The organization characterized that description as "slanderous," adding in a written statement: "NIAC and NIAC Action are independent American organizations. We do not receive money from any government, are not agents of any government, and take great pride in our transparency." But numerous observers say NIAC's ties to the Islamic Republic of Iran are clear, citing evidence of close communication between the lobbying group's leaders and Iranian officials.

The Deep State Tapestry of Deceit is Beginning to Unravel
By Brian C. Joondeph January 27, 2020
Deep state players in the Obama administration wove an elaborate tapestry of collusion, subterfuge, and electoral chicanery. While better suited for a Robert Ludlum novel, it played out in real time over the past four years.
Stars of the drama include familiar names such as James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, and Andrew McCabe. Supporting actors played an unwitting role, namely Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. The victim was then candidate Donald Trump. Heroes of the saga include Attorney General William Barr, U.S. Attorney John Durham, and a mysterious group simply called Q.
The plot was simple. The Obama administration, in 2016 and before, wanted to preordain the 2016 electoral outcome. What better way to do this than to spy on the rival presidential campaign? Since spying is illegal, a pretense was needed.
That's where the Steele Dossier came in. The DNC, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and top Obama administration officials colluded with multiple foreign governments to fabricate opposition research on the Trump campaign alleging treasonous activities. This allowed the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, and likely others as well.
The Obama administration colluded with foreign governments to influence an election. How ironic that this is exactly what President Trump was impeached for, and why he is a "dictator" and an "existential threat to democracy". Can you say projection?

The FISA court granted a Title 1 FISA warrant against Page, reserved for those accused of being "an agent of a foreign power," one who is "knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence activities." Yet Page was never arrested or indicted for his activities. The reality is that he was a CIA asset "engaged in clandestine intelligence activities" not for Russia, but for America, and this minor bit of information was deliberately omitted from his FISA warrant application and three renewals.
The Barr DOJ has been pulling hard enough on this thread that after four years of FBI deceit and abuse of power, the Trump Russia collusion tapestry is unraveling before our very eyes. Like a game of Jenga, where blocks are slowly pulled out without collapsing the entire structure, the latest DOJ revelation is the "keystone" which held the entire charade together….

Q Research General #10126: Illigitimate Impeachment : Defense Day I Reactions Edition
FBI restricts information obtained from Carter Page FISA surveillance
The FBI has restricted all the evidence obtained through the wiretapping of former Trump campaign staffer Carter Page. Revealed in a Jan. 7 filing by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that was made public on Thursday, the government said the bureau chose to "sequester all collection the FBI acquired pursuant to the Court's authorizations" to grant a warrant and three extensions for the electronic surveillance of Page, a U.S. citizen who was suspected of acting as an agent of Russia but was never charged with any wrongdoing.
The filing, signed off by presiding FISA court Judge James Boasberg, further stated that the "sequester" would remain in place until the completion of a further review of the DOJ inspector general report on the Page FISA warrants and the "outcome of related investigations and any litigation." "The government has not described what steps are involved in such sequestration or when it will be completed," Boasberg wrote. '"It has, however, undertaken to 'provide an update to the court when the FBI completes the sequestration.'"'
Boasberg's filing made headlines on Thursday for showing the Justice Department conceded that there was insufficient evidence to justify the last two of four orders covering the final several months of electronic surveillance of Page during the FBI's counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. The initial order came in October 2016, and the electronic surveillance stretched into the summer of 2017 with a trio of extensions at three-month intervals. It remains unclear whether the Justice Department believes the first two orders targeting Page were similarly flawed. ''Today's unprecedented court filing represents another step on the road to recovery for America's deeply damaged judicial system. I hope that this latest admission of guilt for these civil rights abuses by the Justice Department marks continued progress towards restoring justice and remedying these reputationally ruinous injuries," Page said in a statement.
Another brief filing that quietly popped up on the FISA court website Thursday showed the Justice Department requested a deadline extension for the delivery of information regarding minimization procedures designed to stem the disclosure of information about U.S. citizens under surveillance. Boasberg, who seeks the information so that the FISA court can "assess whether the handling and disposition of the information acquired" comports with FISA provisions, wrote that the government's request was granted, and 'a new deadline has been set for Feb. 5. The original deadline was Jan. 28'.
In December, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report criticizing the DOJ and the FBI for 17 "significant errors and omissions" in its submissions to the FISA court seeking authority to surveil Page and the reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele's salacious and unverified dossier. The watchdog report showed that FBI interviews with Steele's primary source, beginning in January 2017 after the first FISA renewal, "raised significant questions about the reliability of the Steele election reporting."
Following Horowitz's investigation, FBI Director Christopher Wray ordered more than 40 "corrective steps" to address the watchdog's report, including 12 reforms related to the FISA process. In a Jan. 10 response to the court, Wray said he "deeply regrets" the FBI's failures in the Page FISA process and offered a timetable of reforms and training the bureau is undertaking. David Kris, a former Justice Department lawyer picked to advise the FISA court on the reform process, submitted a brief that pushed for improved communications between FBI and DOJ attorneys on FISA matters beyond what the bureau has proposed.
The FISA court also ordered a review of all FISA filings handled by Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who altered a key document about Page in the process to obtain the third warrant renewal. He is now under criminal investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham, a prosecutor from Connecticut who was tasked by Attorney General William Barr with investigating the origins of the Russia inquiry.

U.S. Justice Dept. plans to hold meeting to discuss tech industry liability
The U.S. Justice Department is planning to hold a conference to discuss the future of a federal law which largely exempts online platforms from legal liability for the material their users post, sources familiar with the plans said on Friday. A U.S. government source said the department plans to invite a wide range of interested parties to the conference to examine the future of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, including representatives of industry, Congress, "thought leaders" and officials of President Donald Trump's Cabinet.
The 24-year-old law has been a foundation for many internet companies, enabling Facebook Inc , Google's YouTube, and Twitter Inc to host large amounts of videos, messages and documents while monitoring for offensive language and imagery in only limited fashion.
All three companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr said in a speech last month that the Justice Department was "studying Section 230 and its scope" because "many are concerned that Section 230 immunity has been extended far beyond what Congress originally intended."
Barr said internet companies had absolved themselves of responsibility for policing their platforms, while blocking political speech with impunity. Lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties have called for Congress to change Section 230 in ways that could expose tech companies to more lawsuits or significantly increase their costs.
Some Republicans have expressed concern that Section 230 prevents them from taking action against internet services that remove conservative political content, while a few Democratic leaders have said the law allows the services to escape punishment for harboring misinformation and extremist content. But several legal experts have said amending Section 230 would harm free expression on the internet.
The tech publication The Information reported on Friday that the department was planning to hold what it described as a Section 230 "workshop" in February. But the source familiar with the government's plans said a date for the event has not yet been fixed. Emma Llansó, director of the Free Expression Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology, said the Justice Department is considering holding public panels and private meetings, according to an invitation she received this week.
Several professors across the United States who study laws around speech and expression on the internet were invited to the event, according to five people asked to attend. Two said they had not been given details on the event's timing, participants or format.

The Attorney General Lays the Groundwork to Carry Out His Threat
Last October, Trump signed an executive order directing the attorney general to establish a Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice. As Tom Jackman reported, this is something that both police and civil rights groups have sought for years. Nevertheless, concerns emerged almost immediately. A number of groups that might be expected to be part of the discussion said they had not yet been invited, including the National District Attorneys Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
Those who had advocated for such a commission were concerned about "overburdened courts, unsustainable incarceration costs, national security, prisoner reentry, victims' rights, and civil rights and liberties." But the tasks assigned to this commission are completely police-centric.
The challenges to law enforcement associated with mental illness, homelessness, substance abuse, and other social factors that influence crime and strain criminal justice resources;
The recruitment, hiring, training, and retention of law enforcement officers, including in rural and tribal communities;
Refusals by State and local prosecutors to enforce laws or prosecute categories of crimes;
The need to promote public confidence and respect for the law and law enforcement officers; and
The effects of technological innovations on law enforcement and the criminal justice system, including the challenges and opportunities presented by such innovations. On Tuesday, Attorney General William Barr announced the formation of this commission.
The first thing to notice is that there is no one on the commission representing civil rights, public defenders, or community groups. Seven of the members are employees of the Justice Department, including the chair, and all of them were appointed during the Trump administration. For example, David Bowdich became deputy director of the FBI when Andrew McCabe was fired. He then went on to fire Peter Strzok. The rest of the group's members are either law enforcement officers or prosecutors. For those who have publicly identified their party affiliation, all are Republican. For example, former Florida Governor Rick Scott first appointed Robert Gualtieri as interim sheriff of Pinellas County and Ashley Moody replaced Pam Bondi as Florida's Attorney General.
I suspect that this commission will probably be better-managed than the one Trump appointed to study voter fraud. But what the two have in common is that they have been established with an end product in mind. The goal will be to find a rationale to justify conclusions they already have in common. The same attorney general who appointed these commissioners is the one who recently said that communities that don't show enough respect for law enforcement could find themselves without police protection. I don't mean to be too alarmist, but I don't think that William Barr is the kind of man who makes idle threats. It is very possible that this commission could lay the groundwork for him to carry that one out.

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

Billions of dollars in tax monies swiped from the U.S. Treasury while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and funneled to shell companies and associates who kicked back untold hordes of cash to the Clinton Foundation and in essence: to the Clinton's themselves.
"We are talking about billions of dollars that were stolen, siphoned, funneled," one top-level federal source said. "Not millions. Billions. It's absolutely massive and other members of the Obama administration are involved."
Attorney General William Barr's Justice Department has been giving Hillary Clinton and other Democratic politicians another free pass. And federal agents are beyond steamed.

"You look at the size of this corruption and realize why Hillary warehoused all her State Dept. emails on a private server and destroyed thousands upon thousands of emails so that no one could get a look at the side deals," Paine said.
Thomas Paine broke the story on his Patreon show on Tuesday night as well as his new Podcast.
Paine said the information continues to pour in about this newly revealed and massive Clinton scheme. He said more stories will be forthcoming, including details of when and how much money was . And who else from the Obama administration is implicated.
Here is an excerpt from the podcast.
So we're finding that deceased top FBI Special Agent Sal Cincinelli (alleged public suicide) was a member of a team that was investigating the Clinton Foundation and had witnessed and investigated the fact that large amounts of money were being moved by Hillary Clinton through the Clinton Foundation, coming in coming out, that trace back to the State Dept. during the time that she was Secretary of State.
This is the first time or the first proof that anybody has that she was actually taking money from public money from the State Dept. while she was Secretary of State and moving it around to her cronies linked to the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton cartel and Cincinelli was part of the FBI who was looking into this.
And incredibly, this has been on the desk of Attorney General William Barr who hasn't done anything with it.
The Justice guys we talked to said that she didn't take millions of dollars.
She took billions of dollars.
And she spread it around to her cronies and shell companies, shell corporations, dummy companies and then they kicked money back to the Clinton Foundation and they may have even kicked money back into offshore accounts belonging to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
This puts their hands right into the cookie jar the US Treasury taking and diverting tax monies for profit. That's theft. That's fraud. Why aren't these people in shackles?
Who is running the Justice Department?
The Clinton's.
And you may wonder why the establishment in D.C. impeached Trump and want to remove him before the entire lid blows off of the Swamp.

By Byron Tau
Updated Jan. 23, 2020 4:27 pm ET
WASHINGTON-The Justice Department now believes it should have discontinued its secret surveillance of one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page far earlier than it did, according to a new court filing unsealed Thursday.
The Justice Department made that determination in a December letter to the secret court that oversees surveillance of suspected foreign spies, acknowledging it may have lacked probable cause to continue wiretapping in the last two of the four surveillance applications it sought against Mr. Page.
The government began the surveillance in late 2016, after he left the Trump campaign, and continued monitoring him until late 2017-ultimately obtaining a warrant and three subsequent renewals. The last two applications were submitted in April and June of 2017. It now has concluded there was "insufficient predication to establish probable cause" in the last two renewals, which authorized about six months of surveillance on the former adviser.
Probable cause is the legal standard to obtain a secret warrant against suspected agents of a foreign power from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the secret judicial panel that approves such warrants.
Probable cause is the legal standard to obtain a secret warrant against suspected agents of a foreign power.
The Justice Department letter is classified, but is referenced in a new order declassified by the judge that heads the FISA court, James Boasberg, on Thursday. The Justice Department said it would sequester all the material it collected against Mr. Page pending further internal review of the matter.
The Justice Department declined to comment.
Judge Boasberg ordered the government to explain further the specific steps it intended to take in response to its belief that some of the surveillance collected against Mr. Page lacked a legal basis. The order was issued Jan. 7, but wasn't declassified until Thursday.
The Justice Department's acknowledgment is an unusual retreat in a major investigation that has been under scrutiny for nearly three years. The determination also is sure to fuel the debate over a government investigation into the Trump presidential campaign during the 2016 election.
The letter refers to a Federal Bureau of Investigation counterintelligence investigation into links between people associated with the Trump campaign and Russia. A critical internal watchdog report determined that the FBI had the proper basis to open the investigation, though the bureau made many mistakes along the way. But the department's belated conclusion that it lacked the legal grounds to surveil Mr. Page is an acknowledgment that a major component of that investigation wasn't on firm legal ground for part of the probe's duration.
The revelation also comes as lawmakers in both parties are beginning to weigh changes to elements of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ahead of a March expiration of some surveillance authorities. That statue lays out the process for obtaining permission for monitoring.
Attorney General William Barr also announced new rules last week requiring top-level approval for investigations involving presidential campaigns.

William Barr 'Doing A Hatchet Job' On U.S. Intelligence Agencies, Asked British For Help, U.K. Official Says
Attorney General William Barr recently presented British intelligence FVEY officials with a "wish list" of information requests that left the officials "astonished."
Barr has been reaching out to several foreign governments for information that could aid in his investigation. According to a report by Britain's Independent newspaper, however, the information Barr has requested is "like nothing we have come across before," per one British official with knowledge of the attorney general's requests.
"They are basically asking, in quite robust terms, for help in doing a hatchet job on their own intelligence services," the British official told The Independent.
The belief that Russia was somehow framed by Ukraine and Clinton derives from an online conspiracy theory that originated on the extremist message board 4Chan, researchers have found. Donald Trump has also been accused of subscribing to the same conspiracy theory.
<(kek)
Barr's investigation has targeted the FBI, as well as other U.S. intelligence agencies, according to The Independent. His investigation into the 2016 election last week was redesignated as a criminal probe, meaning that Barr now has the power to issue subpoenas and bring charges against individuals in the U.S. intelligence agencies and FBI.
In September, Barr also traveled to Italy Non FVEY to meet with Italian police and government officials. In Italy, he reportedly listened to a tape of Joseph Mifsud - the mysterious academic who told a Trump campaign adviser in April 2016 that the Russian government possessed "dirt" on Clinton, in the form of "thousands" of emails.
On the recording allegedly heard by Barr, Mifsud reportedly expressed his fear that unidentified people are trying to harm him. The professor then asked the Italian police for protection. But Mifsud disappeared in November 2017, shortly after the recorded meeting with the country's law enforcement authorities.

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

Trump Admin Revives Influential Criminal Justice Commission
Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday announced the formation of a presidential commission on criminal justice, revitalizing a body that in the 1960s fundamentally altered the American criminal justice system.
The new members of the Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice took their oath of office, administered by Barr, Wednesday morning, and immediately set to work on their agenda for the coming months. Barr's remarks linked their work to the last such commission, which was organized by President Lyndon Johnson.
"President Trump is an unwavering supporter of our men and women in blue, and he recognized that this commission is much needed to support law enforcement," Barr said. "It is, to be sure, long overdue. The last time there was a national commission on law enforcement was in 1965."
Barr's allusion to the Johnson crime commission sets the stage for a comprehensive reassessment of the criminal justice system. The new commission's work will likely highlight how the challenges of criminal justice have changed radically over the past half century.
The new commission is a diverse group of law enforcement officers, litigators, and stakeholders from local, state, and federal jurisdictions. It will be chaired by Phil Keith, who currently serves as the director of the Community Oriented Policing Services office within the Justice Department. Other board members include local sheriffs and police chiefs, U.S. attorneys, the Florida attorney general, and the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
This group, Barr said Wednesday, will discuss key issues facing law enforcement in the 21st century. These include the challenges of mental illness; improving officer recruitment, training, and retention; understanding the rise of mental health problems among police officers; the challenges of new technologies; the causes and effects of "diminished respect" toward police officers; and the better incorporation of social services organizations into the policing process.
The push to establish a new commission on crime has commanded bipartisan backing. Senators Gary Peters (D., Mich.), Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), and John Cornyn (R., Tex.) introduced legislation to establish a commission modeled on the one from 1965. President Donald Trump issued an executive order in October that formally established the commission Barr swore in Wednesday.
Cornyn cheered Wednesday's news as a step in the right direction for American criminal justice.

Here is an excerpt from the podcast.
So we're finding that deceased top FBI Special Agent Sal Cincinelli (alleged public suicide) was a member of a team that was investigating the Clinton Foundation and had witnessed and investigated the fact that large amounts of money were being moved by Hillary Clinton through the Clinton Foundation, coming in coming out, that trace back to the State Dept. during the time that she was Secretary of State.
This is the first time or the first proof that anybody has that she was actually taking money from public money from the State Dept. while she was Secretary of State and moving it around to her cronies linked to the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton cartel and Cincinelli was part of the FBI who was looking into this.
And incredibly, this has been on the desk of Attorney General William Barr who hasn't done anything with it.
The Justice guys we talked to said that she didn't take millions of dollars.
She took billions of dollars.
And she spread it around to her cronies and shell companies, shell corporations, dummy companies and then they kicked money back to the Clinton Foundation and they may have even kicked money back into offshore accounts belonging to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
This puts their hands right into the cookie jar the US Treasury taking and diverting tax monies for profit. That's theft. That's fraud. Why aren't these people in shackles?

EXCLUSIVE: Top FBI Agent Died After Uncovering Hillary Clinton Funneled Billions of Tax Dollars from State Dept. to Clinton Foundation and Cronies
January 22, 2020
High-ranking FBI officials are spilling the beans on a massive cover up involving Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, the State Department and a scheme that steered untold billions of tax dollars to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton associates.
Thomas Paine broke the story on his Patreon show on Tuesday night as well as his new Podcast.
And the Justice Department is implicated too. Not to mention the disturbing implications surrounding the mysterious death of the FBI's top financial crimes investigator who was privy to the details of the scheme while leading the Bureau's investigation of the Clinton Foundation.
Even by Washington D.C. standards, criminal conspiracies do not get any deeper than this newly-minted Clinton-linked scandal. And the stakes here are as large as the corruption.
Billions of dollars in tax monies swiped from the U.S. Treasury while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and funneled to shell companies and associates who kicked back untold hordes of cash to the Clinton Foundation and in essence: to the Clinton's themselves.
"We are talking about billions of dollars that were stolen, siphoned, funneled," one top-level federal source said. "Not millions. Billions. It's absolutely massive and other members of the Obama administration are involved."
Attorney General William Barr's Justice Department has been giving Hillary Clinton and other Democratic politicians another free pass. And federal agents are beyond steamed.
"You look at the size of this corruption and realize why Hillary warehoused all her State Dept. emails on a private server and destroyed thousands upon thousands of emails so that no one could get a look at the side deals," Paine said.
Thomas Paine broke the story on his Patreon show on Tuesday night as well as his new Podcast.
Paine said the information continues to pour in about this newly revealed and massive Clinton scheme. He said more stories will be forthcoming, including details of when and how much money was . And who else from the Obama administration is implicated.

John Durham Criminal Probe Gathers Steam Investigating Post Election Docs
Department of Justice appointed federal prosecutor John Durham's expanded criminal probe into the FBI's investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign is focusing on a slew of government documents that surfaced during the first several months of Trump's presidency. The documents, which are being kept close hold, were hinted at by Attorney General William Barr in an interview he did with NBC in December and reported on by CBS News Friday. On Friday, Catherine Herridge senior national security reporter with CBS first reported that a 'strong paper trail' of documents is being reviewed by Durham. Those documents span a time period from January, 2017 until May 2017, just before the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
However, Barr has already suggested at the expansive nature of Durham's probe in December and hinted at the discoveries. And in October, 2019 reports revealed that Durham had expanded the scope of his investigation and would investigate not only the origin of the bureau probe into Trump's campaign but also the post-election timeline. Barr said in an interview with NBC in December, that Durham "should spend just as much attention on the post-election period" noting that the probe will not just focus on the origins of the investigation. Barr said he asked Durham to look at the post Trump election because "of some of the stuff that Horowitz has uncovered which to me is inexplicable."
New Documents As Durham's Criminal Probe Continues Department of Justice spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told SaraACarter.com she could not comment on Durham's ongoing investigation. She gave no indication as to when, or if, a report will be issued on his criminal probe. Barr, who has been given full declassification authority by Trump, eluded in an interview that Durham may finish his probe by Spring or early this summer. According to sources, the documents already uncovered by Horowitz and the alleged new documents discovered by Durham are significant. Those documents will expose the intent of those involved in the malfeasance at the FBI and the continued operation to spy on Carter Page, a short term Trump campaign volunteer. Further, Durham's probe is focused on actions of former senior Obama Administration officials that targeted Trump and his team, according to numerous former and current government sources that spoke to SaraACarter.com. Those being looked into by Durham are former CIA Director John Brennan, fired FBI Director James Comey, fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, among others. Durham's team has already interviewed numerous personnel at the CIA and according to sources "those questioned are very nervous about the direction of Durham's investigation."
Durham is looking into the Intelligence Community Assessment on Russia, in which Brennan has stated that the CIA did not use former MI6 spy Christoper Steele's debunked dossier. Horowitz discovered during his office's investigation of the FBI FISA review that the uncorroborated dossier was used in obtaining the warrant to spy on Page. Horowitz's explosive report also revealed that significant information on Page was omitted from the report and that other information was altered by FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith. Page had actually assisted the CIA in reporting on Russia - a significant fact that was omitted and changed in the application that was submitted to the secret court.

Indictments Coming? Obama & Hillary Look Like They Are Finally Going to Get Dragged into Barr & Durham's Investigation
Those of us who actually believe in the Constitution and the rule of law are awaiting U.S. Attorney John Durham's factual findings and grand jury indictments detailing and holding accountable those responsible for the gross abuse of surveillance laws on American citizens by Obama's intelligence community.
In the meantime, it would serve us well to ignore the narrative engineers within the mainstream media, specifically from the New York Times (FBI) and the Washington Post (CIA) mouthpieces, who are working to lessen the impact of what is expected to be explosive revelations of political espionage arising from Durham's work.
And, if Durham is able to secure indictments against a slew of high-ranking Obama-era intelligence officials within the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and State Department this may be the breaking of the dam that will engulf many other scandals of his administration.
These may include, but not be limited to, Uranium One, Skolkovo, Iran nuclearization, and collusion with the then corrupt Ukrainian government to help Hillary win the 2016 election.
This is the most likely reason for the rush to impeach President Trump on previously two unheard of charges and without citing so much as a single crime committed by the president.
Afterall, headlines are the most effective tool for influencing the most willfully ignorant amongst us.
Lest we succumb to the same media narratives, we should remember the statements of U.S. Attorney John Durham and U.S. Attorney General William Barr immediately after Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his report outlining FISA abuse on December 9th.
If either Durham or Barr planned on committing another cover up, their statements would not have been as contradictory. Or, they could have avoided commenting altogether.
...we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened."
This is the crux of the entire spygate hoax investigation. On April 10th, 2019 AG Barr, while providing Congressional testimony, said:
"I think spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur.
"The question is whether it was adequately predicated. I'm not suggesting it wasn't adequately predicated, but I need to explore that.
"I think it is my obligation."
Based on the evidence collected to date... we do not agree with some of the report's conclusion as to predication and how the FBI case was opened."
Eight months later, following the release of Horowitz's last report, Barr was more convinced than ever that the FBI had manufacture evidence to spy, first on candidate Trump and then on President Trump.

Sen. Ron Wyden warns FBI against giving GOP records from ex-DNC consultant
Wyden warned that complying with the records request related to Alexandra Chalupa, who is alleged to have sought dirt from Ukraine to undermine then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 election, would have dangerous consequences. As Chalupa conducted research on Paul Manafort, who did lobbying work for a pro-Russia Ukrainian oligarchs and later became Trump's campaign manager, the Ukrainian American activist began receiving notifications from Yahoo security that claimed she was the victim of a "state-sponsored" cyberattack.
"The Senators' request will have a chilling effect on the victims of nation state cyberattacks, and would discourage them from seeking law enforcement assistance, thereby jeopardizing our national security, limiting our ability to respond to sophisticated cyberattacks, and undermining the civil liberties of American citizens," Wyden wrote in a letter to Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday.

Democratic senator asks DOJ and FBI to not cooperate with colleagues' Ukraine-Chalupa probe
'The FBI is not a political weapon'
The top Democrat on an important Senate committee is asking that the Trump administration not cooperate with an investigation into a Ukraine-related investigation being conducted by two of his Republican colleagues.
In a letter first reported by The Daily Beast on Thursday, Senate Finance Committee ranking member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) urged Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray not to comply with a November request from Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) for information about Alexandra Chalupa, the former Democratic National Committee contractor who has been accused of working with Ukrainian officials to dig up dirt on the 2016 Trump campaign.
The request that Wyden is referring to was sent to the DOJ and FBI in November and was part of Grassley's and Johnson's committees' "ongoing investigation into collusive actions Chalupa and the DNC took to use foreign government sources to undermine the Trump campaign during the 2016 election." Grassley chairs the Senate Finance Committee while Johnson heads up the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.
In the November letter, the two chairmen cited a Russian cyberattack that Chalupa reportedly experienced while working for the DNC during the 2016 campaign and subsequently reported to the feds. The letter contends that the attack happened while Chalupa was "reportedly trying to find dirt" on then-candidate Donald Trump and former campaign manager Paul Manafort "in order to undermine his presidential campaign" and in turn, asks for "all records relating to the DOJ's or FBI's interview of Chalupa" as well as "all records relating to the imaging of Chalupa's laptop and smartphone."
But Wyden wrote Thursday that the request was "outrageous" and warned that it would have negative consequences for national security and civil liberties, if fulfilled.
"The Senators' request will have a chilling effect on the victims of nation-state cyber-attacks and would discourage them from seeking law enforcement assistance, thereby jeopardizing our national security, limiting our ability to respond to sophisticated cyber-attacks, and undermining the civil liberties of American citizens," Wyden wrote.
Wyden also accused his two Republican colleagues of trying to "enlist the FBI and Department of Justice in their efforts to legitimize Russian propaganda" via their Ukraine probe.
"The FBI is not a political weapon and should be pressured into violating a citizen's civil liberties for political gain," he added.
In a statement to The Daily Beast, a Grassley staffer said, "Wyden's letter conflates Russian propaganda efforts with unrelated reports of potential election interference that have yet to be fully investigated. … It's disappointing that Sen. Wyden has decided to ignore legitimate questions about election security and instead regurgitate misleading liberal talking points to quash scrutiny of reported election tampering by a Democratic political operative."

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

Barr & DOJ Covering Up Massive NEW Hillary Clinton Scandal That Will Rock D.C.
The Justice Department has been giving Hillary Clinton another free pass and this round it is on the alleged watch of U.S. Attorney General William Barr.
Thomas Paine broke the story on his Patreon show on Tuesday night as well as his new Podcast.
Paine said Barr is allowing Clinton to get away with another scheme, this one very large involving the Clinton Foundation and U.S. tax money. This comes on the heels of Barr allowing Saudi trainees linked to the murders of three Navy sailors at a Naval base in Florida to walk away from the deadly shootings.
Paine said Barr will not prosecute Clinton and her cartel members involved in the new massive scheme, which will soon be detailed in True Pundit.
FBI officials recently fired or 'retired' may also be using knowledge of the covered-up Clinton scheme as leverage to stay out of prison, Paine said.
Here is an excerpt from the podcast.
"These Saudi 'soldiers" (in Florida) have porn child porn on their computers and number them are basically terrorists radicalized.
Muslim terrorists and Barr says, you know, I think we'll just ask them to leave the country.
This guy is like a dope.
He's actually probably worse than Sessions. I think when the final analysis is over. This guy is a cover-up artist and worse than Sessions. I think that's what's going to shake out. I'm probably way ahead of the curve again, but I think that's probably what's going to happen.
Hey if I'm wrong, I'll apologize, but I haven't had to apologize that much in three years now.
And the reason I could say that with some definitive confidences because I know everything that's going on behind the scenes that they haven't done and they haven't prosecuted this Saudi trainee thing is just like the latest ... that's like a speed bump compared to the other stuff that these guys are are letting the Elites in DC get away with.
It's really maddening.
And I will be honest with you. I probably should have done a podcast yesterday because I think it's like a week. I was so mad yesterday. You think this is bad? Like my opening five minutes is bad? I probably would have been tossed off of here yesterday. I was so mad the whole day even the guys I work with the like, you know, what's the matter with you? Why are you so mad because I'll tell you why I'm mad because I get calls from Justice guys. And from Intel guys and the stuff keeps getting worse.
Worse and worse
And a lot of that stuff will be coming out on True Pundit in the next weeks in the next months ... it's so bad folks.
I'll tell you it just it brings you to your knees as a patriot to to see what is going on with this country ...
These people are crazy and dangerous and selling you out.
By the hour not by the day or by the week now. It's by the hour."

JAN CRAWFORD: Um, what's the status of Huber's investigation in Utah? I think the former Attorney General Sessions had asked him to look at this.
William Barr: Right, so Huber had originally been asked to take a look at the FISA applications and the electronic surveillance but then he stood back and put that on hold while the Office of Inspector General was conducting its review, which would've been normal for the department. And he was essentially on standby in case Mr. Horowitz referred a matter to him to be handled criminally. So he has not been active on this front in recent months and so Durham is taking over that role. The other issues he's been working on relate to Hillary Clinton. Those are winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition.
JAN CRAWFORD: So he won't be involved in this really at all then?

DoD to Announce New Base Security Measures Worldwide in Wake of Pensacola Shooting
Defense Secretary Mark Esper will head to Naval Air Station Pensacola next week to meet with base leadership and the first responders who provided aid in the wake of a deadly mass shooting last month, Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said Thursday.
While there, Hoffman said, Esper will provide air station leadership with a preview of new security measures being developed to prevent future incidents – measures that include physical installation security improvements as well as the enhanced vetting protocols that have been previously announced.
"[Esper] will announce these new measures shortly, which will include physical security procedures as well," Hoffman said.
On Dec. 6, a Saudi junior officer in training at the base opened fire in a classroom building, killing three service members and injuring eight other people before being killed by sheriff's deputies who responded to the scene.
A federal probe concluded that the shooting was an act of terrorism and that the shooter "was motivated by jihadist ideology." This week, U.S. Attorney General William Barr said a follow-up investigation into foreign military students resulted in the return of 21 other Saudi students to their home country. The majority of these students, he said, had pro-jihadist or anti-American materials in their possession; many also were found to have had contact with child pornography.
Hoffman noted that more than one million students had participated in the foreign military training program in its two decades of existence, and Pensacola was the first security breach of its kind.
Saudi Arabia is one of the largest participants in the program, he added.
He reiterated that the Defense Department is now looking to augment the vetting procedures that take place prior to students arriving at U.S. bases, co-located with American troops.
"Previous vetting had been handled by the home country … as well as the Department of Homeland Security and State Department," he said. "We've taken a look at that as far as how we can use our resources to do enhanced vetting."
While classroom instruction is ongoing for international students, Hoffman indicated that an operational training pause for Saudi students, implemented in early December, remains in place.
"That's an announcement we will likely have in the coming days," he said. "Over the holidays … the training schedule was a little bit different. We look forward to turning that back on in the coming days."

'Economic espionage': Special DOJ unit cracks down on China's illicit activities
By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Wednesday, January 8, 2020
The Justice Department's special China unit is aggressively prosecuting technology theft and other illicit activities by Beijing's spies and government officials, a senior department official said in an interview.
China was implicated in more than 80% of all economic espionage cases brought by the Justice Department since 2012, and more than 60% of all trade secrets theft cases were linked to Beijing's aggressive spying and acquisition programs, U.S. officials said.
Those activities involve traditional human and cyber intelligence gathering operations as well as what officials term "nontraditional" spying: the use of students, business people and other nonprofessional collectors of intelligence.
"It's an objective fact that the number of economic espionage investigations has increased dramatically in recent years," Adam Hickey, deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's national security division, told The Washington Times.
"That could be a function of us seeing more or the private sector reporting more. It also could suggest that China is doing more," said Mr. Hickey, a key official in a program called the China Initiative.
China's efforts also involve purchases of American companies, a noncriminal matter but one involving Justice Department officials who are part of the Treasury Department-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. Congress has passed reform measures strengthening regulatory procedures used to control Chinese investments that could harm national security.
At the Federal Communications Commission, Justice Department officials help counter Chinese electronic spying in the United States through a group called Team Telecom.
Attorney General William Barr recently backed the FCC decision announced in November to ban the use of telecommunications gear in the United States made by Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies over electronic spying concerns.

We have been winning in many, many ways. My confidence ebbs and flows regarding mine and most everyone's top issue -JUSTICE/HIGH LEVEL ARRESTS (neck-stretching, firing squad, and lethal injection-style justice).
Men, women, children, and infants are getting abused, raped, trafficked/transacted, and/or murdered by illegal pieces of vermin and being released without bail every god damn mother-fucking hour of the day and the mother-fucking night.
Analog & digital - documents and video being leaked, destroyed and/or withheld by Federal, State, County, and Municipal employees. These same "employees" directly denying folks of their right to - free speech, bear arms, due process, and privacy are FACTS which are beyond staggering.
Armed with the Constitution and the Federal Judiciary - AG William Barr and his staff should be shooting fish in a Barrel "25/8/366" or at least "24 hours/7 daze a week/365 days a year" plus mother-fuckin' Leap Day. Until a MAJOR criminal is executed, AG William Barr is suspect. His true history is pretty shady and quite shitty. William Barr, the department of Justice and the FBI is HIS responsibility. He had better get this extremely right, WITHOUT ANY FUCKERY or he will get to be held responsible. Period.. He is the top law official of the land and is running out of TIME.
The central bankers and their USA Corporation should be jailed and their "company" bankrupted without another single penny of "repayment".
The PLUG should be pulled on Silicon Valley censors. NOT the other way around. Folks should be polite, courteous, and patient, however, when there is an EMERGENCY - politically correct behavior should be slapped aside. Clear, plain, effective, and authentic communication will win the moment.
The tyranny, disrespect, and disdain some folks have shown toward The President Of The United States Of America - Donald J. Trump, Julian Assange, General Flynn, Jack Flynn, Roger Stone and countless others pisses the fuck out of me (and I don't like to waste/lose any amount of fuck). In addition to monetary damages awarded for libel/slander, mass amounts of "traitors/"journalists" should imprisoned - just like President Lincoln did.
"People" from "families" such as the Rockefellers, The Royal UK, Bush/Scher(f), Clinton, Soros, Pelosi, Kerry, Feinstein, Schumer, Schiff, PedoWood, Vatican, plus hundreds of other organizations/families and 10's of thousands of other individuals should be rounded up under martial law and caged in towns squares on perpetual tour to be given "feedback".

Apple says it passed FBI 'many gigabytes' of data in Pensacola shooter probe, disputes AG's claim of 'no substantial help'
Apple has hit back after US Attorney General William Barr accused the company of offering no assistance in unlocking devices linked to the Pensacola shooter, insisting that it handed the FBI large troves of data for its probe.
Barr told reporters on Monday that Apple had not "given any substantive assistance" to law enforcement agencies looking to crack into a pair of smartphones owned by the shooter - who left 4 people dead on a Florida naval base in December - but the company directly countered the AG in a statement.
"We reject the characterization that Apple has not provided substantive assistance in the Pensacola investigation," the tech giant said, adding that it had responded to the FBI's requests for help "promptly, often within hours."
The queries resulted in many gigabytes of information that we turned over to investigators. In every instance, we responded with all of the information that we had.
Apple previously went head-to-head with the FBI in lengthy legal battle over a similar phone-cracking case related to the 2016 terror attack in San Bernardino, in which the company refused to provide the bureau a 'backdoor' into one of the attacker's phones.
Though Apple still maintains "there is no such thing as a backdoor just for the good guys," the company has become more willing to engage with law enforcers in recent years, announcing in 2018 that it would create a special police "portal" allowing officers to request data.
Despite its attitude on encryption, the company's devices have also been found to contain inadvertent 'backdoors' of a sort, with fears of spying triggered last year after a curious microphone glitch popped up, allowing callers to hear recipients speak before they answered the phone. Last August, it was also revealed that company contractors were granted access to customers' private conversations through Siri, the AI assistant program, a practice Apple says it has since ended.
The company turned heads more recently when it confirmed that it scans all images stored in its cloud service for evidence of "child abuse," prompting some critics to slam the company for violating user privacy.

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

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

Signatures From AG, FBI Director Needed on FISA Probe of Presidential Campaign Under New Proposal
e proposal to reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court would require the signatures of both the attorney general and FBI director to launch a counterintelligence operation into a presidential campaign, Attorney General William Barr said.
The FBI during the Obama administration applied to spy on Trump 2016 presidential campaign associate Carter Page using information from a dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who was paid by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of rival candidate Hillary Clinton.
Barr was asked on Monday about a recent apology from FBI Director Christopher Wray over how the FBI handled the Page situation and what changes he wants to see to the secretive court.
"We're considering a number of additional things," Barr told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Washington. "Chris Wray and I have discussed a number of possibilities."

- Ghislanes Maxwells father Robert Maxwell was running known sex/pedophilia honey pot ops, affiliated with C1A and M0ssad.
- Epstein met Ghislane and was introduced to the Maxwell tradition, Jean Luc Brunell and the others.
- Epsteins operation ties into Les Wexner, DynCorp, German Marshall Fund, Windsors, C1A, M0S and a whole range of powerful groups.
What happened? He was murdered.
- Sleeping guards.
- No checks on him during the night in question.
- Deleted CCTV footage.
- Cameras offline during the event.
Barr found no foul play, and said it was a combination of unfortunate events.
This is the very same William Barr that authorized the Waco Siege/Murder.
The Coroner doing Epsteins autopsy was Michael Baden, the guy involved with OJ and best of all JFK Assassination.
It is an attempt at a cover-up of obvious foul play, Barr is unreliable, mostly government spooks involved.

Bill Barr Needs To Answer For His Role In Ruby Ridge
The Second Amendment community has tried very hard to get members of the Judiciary Committee to persuade attorney general nominee William Barr to renounce his long-standing support for gun control. Opposing his nomination is not a position we relish. But if members of the Senate choose to ignore his record on guns, they should not ignore his role in the Ruby Ridge scandal.
Consider these facts.
Barr was in charge of the Justice Department during Ruby Ridge, and he knew what was going on.
Barr stated, under oath, that his chief gun priority would be the Ruby Ridge-like gun confiscation orders (sugar-coated as "red flag laws").
You may remember that Barr's federal agents descended on Randy Weaver's Idaho compound in August, 1992, and (1) shot weaver in the back; (2) shot Weaver's wife Vicki to death, while she was holding her infant son; (3) shot Weaver's 14 year-old son to death; and (4) shot Weaver's dog.
Courts subsequently largely exonerated Weaver, while excoriating the FBI and the Department of Justice. And, although then-Attorney General William Barr claimed to know nothing about the Ruby Ridge fiasco, a 1995 Washington Post article reported that there were 20 high-level DOJ calls about Weaver in the 24 hours preceding the murder of his wife - and two of them directly involved Barr.
After that, Barr spent huge amounts of pro bono time trying to get exoneration for the FBI sniper who shot Vicki Weaver to death. He pushed for immunity from prosecution, organized letters on his behalf, and framed arguments before the trial and appeals courts.
But long before Ruby Ridge, Barr's hatred for the Second Amendment was clear.

Which is it?
According to CNN
DOJ has not formally closed CF review
(CNN) A Justice Department review of business dealings tied to Hillary Clinton – championed by President Donald Trump and his allies – has wound down with officials not finding enough evidence to recommend the formal opening of a criminal investigation, according to current and former US officials.
==The Justice Department has not formally closed the review==, which was led by US Attorney John Huber of Utah, the officials told CNN.
A spokeswoman for Huber deferred comment to the Justice Department's spokeswoman, who ==declined to comment==. The Department of Justice also declined to comment to the Washington Post, which first reported that Huber's review had essentially come to an end.
The probe, which launched in November 2017 under then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, was given momentum by Trump and conservatives on Capitol Hill who pushed for greater scrutiny of the former Democratic presidential nominee.
Huber was said to be examining allegations that donors to the Clinton Foundation had been given special treatment by Clinton when she served as secretary of state in the first half of the Obama administration.
The allegations first were investigated in 2015-16 and were based at least in part on claims published in the 2015 opposition research book "Clinton Cash," which was written by conservative writer Peter Schweizer. Trump and his allies have criticized the Justice Department for using opposition research paid for by Democrats in the probe of ties between associates of the Trump campaign and Russia.
The review also explored allegations that a Russian nuclear energy agency donated to the Clinton Foundation in order to later secure her approval for its purchase of Uranium One, a uranium mining company, when Clinton led the State Department.
At the time of Huber's appointment, special counsel Robert Mueller had been deep into his damaging investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and leading Republican lawmakers, as well as Trump, had hounded the attorney general to appoint a second special counsel to look into the Clinton matters.
Instead, Sessions turned to Huber, a respected prosecutor who had first been appointed to the position by President Barack Obama.
Huber's review had largely paled in comparison to the Mueller investigation, and officials in Washington hoping for a counterpunch to the special counsel's blows soon turned their attention to the Justice Department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, as well as US attorney John Durham of Connecticut, who both undertook separate efforts to examine the origins of the Russia probe.
Trump and Attorney General William Barr have continued to point towards Durham's probe in recent weeks as the final word on potential FBI misconduct, while largely looking past Horowitz's findings, which criticized a series of mistakes made by agency officials but concluded that there was no evidence that they had acted with bias as they opened and carried out the Russia investigation.

And this CNN article says it has

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

Barr seemed to suggest that what evidence Huber found, if any, may soon be revealed.
"The other issues [Huber has] been working on relate to Hillary Clinton" are "winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," Barr said.

And he was essentially on standby in case Mr. Horowitz referred a matter to him to be handled criminally. So he has not been active on this front in recent months and so Durham is taking over that role. The other issues he's been working on relate to Hillary Clinton.

Homeland Security Says It Will Share Citizenship Data With Census Bureau
months after an executive order issued by President Donald Trump ordered agencies to do so.
Trump ordered federal agencies to share data with the Census Bureau after the Supreme Court ruled against the administration's attempts to add a citizenship question back onto the census for 2020.
The nation's highest court said in a 5-4 ruling that the administration didn't provide adequate reasoning for putting the question back on the census. Attorney General William Barr said the administration would have ultimately prevailed in the court battle, but he and Trump chose to go another route.
…
In a document (pdf) issued in late December 2019, the DHS said it would be sharing information with the Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau to help determine "the number of citizens, lawfully present non-citizens, and unauthorized immigrants in the United States during the decennial census (2020 Census)."

'Doesn't make any sense': Ratcliffe suspicious of US embassy official who contacted Papadopoulos
The U.S. embassy official who sought out former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos during the 2016 presidential contest has generated some curiosity among Republican investigators in Congress. Terrence Dudley, a defense attache at the U.S. Embassy in London whom Papadopoulos believes was spying on him, was reportedly interviewed by the federal prosecutor appointed by Attorney General William Barr to examine the origins of the Russia investigation.
Republican Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe, an ally of President Trump and who is a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said this indicates U.S. Attorney John Durham is looking into the Obama intelligence set for evidence of an anti-Trump plot. "That's a sign that John Durham is looking at the fact that this may include Obama administration officials beyond law enforcement - perhaps to include our intelligence community, folks like [former CIA Director] John Brennan," Ratcliffe said Sunday on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures.
Dudley met Papadopoulos in London multiple times in 2016, according to Politico, and was interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign. Papadopoulos alleged Dudley and his colleague Greg Baker, whom Papadopoulos thought were from the Defense Intelligence Agency, were spying on him. Both men have denied the accusation, claiming they made contact only out of personal curiosity. "We approached him from a more fascinated standpoint trying to figure out what his game was," Dudley told the Daily Caller. "Who's funding him to be here [in London]? How does he actually get away with doing that?"
Ratcliffe doesn't buy Dudley's explanation. "Officials at our U.S. embassies overseas going to meet with a campaign official for the Trump campaign - not in their official capacity. But the explanation that they give is, 'Just out of personal curiosity.' It's not their job, but beyond that, it doesn't make any sense," he said Sunday. The FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign began in late July 2016 after Papadopoulos bragged to an Australian diplomat that he heard the Russians had damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. An academic named Stefan Halper, who is reportedly an FBI informant, and an undercover FBI agent posing as his assistant with the name Azra Turk also met with Papadopoulos.
Papadopoulos served 12 days in federal prison for lying to FBI investigators about his contact with people linked to Russia during the 2016 campaign. The FBI's counterintelligence investigation, dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane," was wrapped into Mueller's investigation, which was unable to establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. In an audit released last month, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said he found no evidence that the genesis of the Russia inquiry was motivated by political bias as Trump and his allies have alleged. But both Barr and Durham publicly disagreed with that conclusion.
As part of his inquiry that has been criticized by Democrats as a ploy to attack Trump's political enemies, Durham is investigating what Brennan told former FBI Director James Comey and other officials about an anti-Trump dossier, compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, which made a series of accusations about Trump and his associates and their ties to Russia. Ratcliffe said he is confident Durham will provide the American people "a better picture of, really, how the Democratic administration before this one targeted President Trump and was aided by Democrats who paid for Russian disinformation, to try and frame this president before he ever got into office."

Attorney General William Barr has arguably been the most productive member of President Donald Trump's administration.
And he just proved that again when the Department of Justice and FBI coordinated with local police to seize records and gather evidence after several corrupt Democrats were served a subpoena.
The FBI seized records from the Mayor of Lyons, Illinois, as well as from other prominent businesses. Barr signed off on a federal grand jury subpoena being served to the entire Democratic Organization of Lyons Township - headed by Democratic State Sen. Steven Landek.
Every single member of the Democratic Organization of Lyons as well as a few Democratic state senators have been ordered to appear before a grand jury.
Some heavy hitters have already been indicted and with this new move expect more heads to roll. This goes all the way to the top.

Does William Barr Have the Guts
By Michael E. Young
When asked if William Barr has the guts to do what needs to be done, a semi-famous conservative Twitter pundit answered that Barr has the guts, but what he lacks is prosecutable crimes.
Wait, what?
If this seems like utter nonsense to you, you are not alone. It is nonsense until you consider that successful prosecution also requires an unbiased jury willing to convict. The point might have been that Barr lacks a D.C. jury pool that would be eager to impugn swamp creatures with the same zeal demonstrated for the prosecution of Roger Stone. This is a particularly tough pill to swallow for the sober masses who are watching our nation be systematically imperiled by Democrats and the media.
The recent I.G. report on FISA abuse was just another in a very long line of disappointing indicators that equal justice may never be restored to our nation. But just when you are ready to sell the house and move to mountains of Utah, William Barr makes bold public statements that stop the music like the scratch of a needle on an L.P. record. Is this guy Barr for real? Is he ready to face the hellfire that will be unleashed if he takes real steps to hold coup conspirators accountable? It's looking increasingly likely that he is for real, but what remains to be seen how far he is willing to go. Both he and prosecutor John Durham made courageous statements in contrast to Horowitz's predictable softball conclusions. At the same time, it feels as though we are getting our hopes up again. So where is this thing headed, and when will things start to happen?
The first question to be answered is exactly how far Barr needs to take it. If you ask MAGA country, they're calling for heads up to and including Obama's. This is doubtful and certainly not prudent because the political and systemic repercussions would be devastating and permanently destabilizing for the USA.
For a simple example, suppose that Barr approved prosecution all the way up to former attorney general Loretta Lynch. Based upon that precedent, what would stop a future attorney general from pursuing a political prosecution of the retired William Barr down the road? Care must be taken to avoid the precedent of high-level political war. Otherwise, we'll morph into a banana republic in less than a generation.
Ultimately, justice needs to be done, so a compromise must be made. The most prudent course would be to prosecute up to a high enough level that sends a clear message to the subordinates of future leaders: follow corrupt orders at your own peril. This is likely the best way to disarm and deter the next corrupt administration without creating a constitutional crisis. The likes of Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, Power, and so on understand this. There's no doubt they are living in fear and uncertainty. Law-abiding Americans should take minor solace in the notion that they are suffering with fear right now as a result of their crimes.
The next question is timing. Suppose Comey gets indicted in spring 2020. CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the corrupt mainstream media would start a 24-7 propaganda campaign that would look a lot like the Russia collusion narrative. However, this time, it would be louder and more desperate, and it would center on how a corrupt Donald Trump has weaponized the DOJ to go after his political enemies. The fact that Democrats and the MSM have already accused Trump of using the "awesome powers of government to punish political enemies" highlights an unmistakable Alinsky-esque pattern that has become prominent since 2016, which is - whatever you are guilty of, blame it on the other side.
This leftist tactic has become the signature calling card for the Democratic Party. After three-plus years of coordinated coup attacks from the "resistance," imagine the nerve of accusing Trump of what they were doing all along.
The incessant hypocrisy demonstrated by the left and Democrats is staggering. Hypocrisy aside, the new media campaign would undoubtedly fire up calls for more articles of impeachment from the House - and not just for Trump, but for Barr as well. You can bet on the choreography of the outrage machine. And you can also bet that this campaign would not stop until election day 2020. Would such a media campaign do damage to Trump's re-election bid? It is quite possible. Independent swing voters are a fickle and malleable bunch

Not the bees! Pentagon wants to use swarms of AI-powered drones for 'rescue' missions
The Pentagon is combing the AI developer community to try to build a self-starting swarm of AI-enabled drones capable of recognizing and tracking a target - ostensibly for search and rescue, but potentially for search and destroy.
The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) issued a request (RFI) late in December seeking the latest and greatest in AI and drone swarm tech - and looking for clever ideas on how to combine the two. The resulting smart-swarm, the agency said, should be self-directing, able to find and track humans ("and manmade objects," the RFI specifies) on its own, capable of streaming video of its activities, and willing to nudge its minders (who won't be minding it most of the time, since it's primarily AI-powered) when it has latched on to something interesting. The swarm will have to be able to move at least 50 knots (93 km/h), stay in the air for at least 2 hours, and cover 100 square nautical miles (343 square km).
The official purpose of the "smart swarm" is search and rescue, the RFI explains, while the JAIC program comprises four "mission initiatives" - "predictive maintenance, humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and cyberspace and robotic process automation."
So, where is number four? The RFI isn't telling, but we can speculate based on what JAIC is known to do. The AI-specialist department, which only debuted in 2018, ended up running Project Maven, the initiative to weaponize machine-learning and Big Data that was supposedly rejected by Google after employees got cold feet about helping the Pentagon kill people.
Project Maven has not only beefed up the quality of video input from tactical drones, or used computing power to organize the mountains of data obtained through surveillance, it has taught participants how to "use algorithms for war."
Will a smart swarm capable of hunting humans with minimal outside direction - along the lines specified in the RFI - follow the rules and stick to search and rescue, or will its AI confuse it with "search and destroy"? If the Pentagon's humans can't tell a civilian from a terrorist, how are its drone swarms supposed to be able to? And even if the algorithms work just fine, what's to stop the humans in charge from using their new toys for killing?
JAIC works with DARPA and other secretive high-level Pentagon agencies; if the US military were ever to develop a swarm of killer drones capable of operating without human input (they already have drone swarms that work with human guides), it would happen there.
Before you think "but they wouldn't dare," it would be exceedingly hard to prosecute an AI algorithm for war crimes, especially one written in open source.
We've seen this movie before, literally. The "Hated in the Nation" episode of the techno-dystopian TV show Black Mirror features a swarm of autonomous drone "bees" who've taken the place of the real thing after a mass die-off; this digital hive proves hackable, and every day, a single solitary drone bee assassin is weaponized to kill whichever public figure garners the most social media hate. Bees lost at such a slow pace, no matter the kamikaze drama of their last seconds, mean the hive-minders never mind.
The bee-masters in Black Mirror defend their creation by blustering about "military-grade" encryption, insisting no one could ever hack their high-tech better-than-nature-made-them pollinators. By that point, however, someone already had.
Military-grade encryption is only as good as the backdoors deliberately installed in it, and Attorney General William Barr and the whole Five Eyes intelligence network are intent on installing enough backdoors to keep them busy peeking through your private data for the rest of their lives. Once they do that, everyone's drone swarm - literally and figuratively - belongs to everyone else. If there was ever a time not to rush into manufacturing an apocalyptic technology, it would be now.

According to Powell, the ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia hoax by Attorney General William Barr and prosecutor John Durham could result in the trio facing charges and the very real possibility of jail time.

WARNING ON RACISM
By Stephen Coughlin November 2, 2019
This is not decay; it is organized destruction. Secularists, and their allies among the "progressives," have marshaled all the force of mass communications, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values.We are told we are living in a post-Christian era. But what has replaced the Judeo-Christian moral system? What is it that can fill the spiritual void in the hearts of the individual person? And what is a system of values that can sustain human social life? The fact is that no secular creed has emerged capable of performing the role of religion.
-William Barr,
United States Attorney General
Speech at University of Notre DameOctober 11, 2019
Defending the West begins here:
Recognizing that "organized destruction" is a mass-line attack to destroy America through political warfare lines of effort structured to that end. "Organized Destruction" is simply what Neo-Marxists commit to when pledging to "Aufheben der Kultur" ("Destroy the Culture")
-Unconstrained AnalyticsOctober 20, 2019
The endgoal is totalitarian collectivism, the signs are very clear now.
It won't be long before POTUS pulls out of the UN, or so I hope.

U.S. eyes customs deal with Mexico, plans attorney general visit in January
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The United States is looking at ways to cooperate with Mexico on customs along their border to curb flows of illicit arms, drugs and money, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico said on Friday.
Speaking after what he called a fruitful meeting with Mexico's finance ministry, Ambassador Christopher Landau said that U.S. Attorney General William Barr would visit Mexico next month to discuss cooperation.
"What we want to do on the border is see if we can combine our customs so that, together, we can control what comes into Mexico and also what leaves Mexico and enters the United States," Landau told reporters. The goal is to eliminate "contraband on both sides, the drugs on one side, and the arms and money on the other," he said.
Barr visited Mexico in early December to discuss issues including security, arms trafficking and money laundering with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and other top officials.

Immigration Judges Quitting in Frustration After Trump Admin Crack Down
Immigration judges frustrated with the Trump administration's tightening of control over the Department of Justice based immigration court system are resigning from the bench in higher than normal numbers, many out of frustration, according to a report by CNN. The crack down began under former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and has continued under Attorney General William Barr.
At the same time, the Trump administration has increased the number of judges to its highest number as the system is overwhelmed with cases stemming from the recent border surges.
Lisa Dornell loved her job. For 24 years, she sat on the bench in Baltimore's immigration court, hearing hundreds of cases of immigrants trying to stay in the United States.
"It was an honor. It was a privilege to be able to preside over so many different cases and be able to grant relief to people who needed relief," Dornell told CNN in an interview.
But she walked away from that job in April - a decision that still invokes a wave of emotion when she recalls it. "The toxic environment made it both harder and easier to leave," Dornell said.
Over the past year, in the heat of a border migration crisis, 45 judges have left, moved into new roles in the immigration court system - which is run by the Justice Department - or passed away, according to the department. That's nearly double the number who departed their posts in fiscal years 2018 and 2017, when 24 and 21 judges left, respectively, according to data provided by the judges union.
The reasons why individual judges have moved on from their posts on the bench vary, but in interviews with judges who left in recent months, one theme ties them all together: frustration over a mounting number of policy changes that, they argue, chipped away at their authority.
Their departures come as the Justice Department faces a backlog that exceeds 1 million cases. The bogged-down system has led to immigration cases being pushed out years in the future, leaving many immigrants residing in the US unsure if they'll be allowed to stay or be ordered removed.
...The Trump administration was no exception. Trump's first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, implemented a series of changes to the immigration court system that have continued under his successor, William Barr.
The Justice Department has imposed case quotas, given more power to the director charged with overseeing the courts, reversed rulings, curtailed judges' ability to exercise discretion in some cases and moved to decertify the union of immigration judges.
Over time, those actions prompted immigration judges, some of whom were retirement eligible and had decades of experience, to leave the department despite initial plans to stay longer.
"I felt then and I feel now that this administration is doing everything in its power to completely destroy the immigration court system, the board of immigration appeal and the immigration system in general," said Ilyce Shugall, who served as an immigration judge in San Francisco from 2017 until March of this year. "And I just couldn't be a part of that."
On December 20, the Justice Department announced the investiture of 28 new immigration judges:
The Executive Office for Immigration Review will invest 28 new immigration judges today, bringing the immigration judge corps to its highest level in history with more than 465 immigration judges on the bench. Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Claire McCusker Murray will deliver opening remarks and Acting Chief Immigration Judge Christopher A. Santoro will preside over the investiture during a ceremony at the Department of Justice's Great Hall in the District of Columbia.
After a thorough application process, Attorney General William Barr appointed Susan F. Aikman, Amelia C. Anderson, Dale E. Anderson, Philip A. Barr, Bianca H. Brown, Kevin L. Brown, Brian H.

Durham interviewing former NSA leader who alerted court of other FISA abuses
The former director of the National Security Agency is the latest to sit down with U.S. Attorney John Durham in the widening inquiry into the origins and conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation. Adm. Mike Rogers, who retired in 2018 after four years as NSA chief and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, has met with Durham, who is working at the behest of Attorney General William Barr, multiple times and is cooperating voluntarily in Durham's deep dive into the FBI's counterintelligence investigation related to the Trump campaign and the Russian government, according to the Intercept. Rogers is likely being talked to because of his key intelligence perch, experiences uncovering Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act violations, and his role in the intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference.
The December report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on FISA abuses by the DOJ and the FBI criticized the bureau's reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele's unverified dossier in pursuing electronic surveillance against Trump campaign associate Carter Page. In 2016, Rogers helped expose FISA flaws of a different kind by the NSA and the FBI. That October, as the bureau received its first Page surveillance warrant, Rogers notified the FISA Court of an NSA inspector general report that found the agency was pulling data directly from the internet and improperly searching it for information related to Americans in violation of FISA laws dealing with foreigners outside the United States targeted by U.S. intelligence agencies.
A FISA Court ruling from April 2017 revealed the high volume of violations, and that month the NSA announced it ended all searches where the foreign intelligence target was neither the sender nor receiver of a communication but was mentioned within it. "That in doing this we were going to lose some intelligence value, but my concern was I just felt it was important - we needed to be able to show that we are fully compliant with the law," Rogers told the Senate in 2017. The same FISA Court ruling stated that, by early 2016, the DOJ learned the FBI gave contractors access to massive amounts of FISA information well beyond what was necessary to respond to FBI requests. Another recently declassified October 2018 FISA Court ruling stemming from the court's inquiry into these FISA abuses found the bureau violated constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Horowitz's report also detailed how Rogers and the NSA viewed Steele's dossier with skepticism, pushing back against efforts by then-FBI Director James Comey and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to include information from it in the high-profile January 2017 assessment on Russian election interference put together by the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA.
Rogers and Comey, along with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan, who is being scrutinized by Durham, briefed President-elect Trump about their findings at Trump Tower. Comey stayed to tell Trump about some of the dossier's more salacious allegations. The assessment concluded with "high confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin "ordered an influence campaign in 2016" and that Russia worked to "undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate former Secretary of State Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency" and "developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump." The NSA diverged on one aspect, expressing only "moderate confidence" that Putin actively tried to help Trump's election chances and harm those of Clinton by contrasting her unfavorably, and Durham is likely looking into whether Steele's dossier played a role in the determinations of the other agencies.
"I wouldn't call it a discrepancy, I'd call it an honest difference of opinion between three different organizations and, in the end, I made that call," Rogers told the Senate in May 2017. "It didn't have the same level of sourcing and the same level of multiple sources." Rogers was a Russia hawk, however, telling the Senate in February 2018 about Russia's plans of "stirring discord in the West" and how "this threatens the foundations of democracy." "More broadly, my concern is that President Putin has clearly come to the conclusion that there's little price to pay here," Rogers said. "Clearly, what we have done is not enough." "I was glad to see the broad direction that we were moving in," Rogers said in a post-retirement interview last year. "But I'm not going to pretend for a minute it's perfect by any stretch of the imagination."

AG Barr Hints The Prosecutions Are Coming And The Left Wing Media Is Hiding It
Barr hinting that prosecutions are coming over 'Spygate,' but who's going to hold the Left-wing media accountable for their enabling lies?
Freedom of the press ought to come with responsibilities...
OPINION- (TNS) Despite the First Amendment's guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press, there are still legal limitations on both.
There are laws against so-called "hate speech," libel, and slander. You can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theater. And you cannot falsely accuse someone or lie about a product.
Unless, of course, you're an elected official. Or a major Left-wing establishment newspaper.
As Attorney General William Barr hints that there might actually be some prosecutions related to the FBI's bogus investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign, some are suggesting similar scrutiny for the "mainstream media" that, for years, has pushed one lie after another about President Donald Trump and his administration.
But...but...freedom of the press!
Got it. But where does press freedom end and legal liability begin when you're knowingly pushing a false narrative that is doing real harm to society, keeping Americans riled up, at each other's throats and on the brink of societal breakdown?
Michael Goodwin, writing in the New York Post, notes:
Thankfully, the accountability fallout from the Russia misconduct has started, with Attorney General Bill Barr suggesting possible prosecutions of FBI agents and perhaps others.
But what of the media? After all, The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and the broadcast networks were spectacularly wrong in their coverage. ...
Pulitzers and other journalism prizes lionized some reports that are now as discredited as the Steele dossier. Yet the news organizations still protect the secret sources who misled them and act as if they themselves did nothing wrong.
One glaring example. The Times reported last May that the FBI sent a female investigator "posing as research assistant" to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016. The woman, who called herself Azra Turk, met with George Papadopoulos in a London bar. ...
The Times' story also says Turk and another informant, Stefan Halper, "failed to glean any information of value" from several meetings with Papadopoulos, but that is not true, according to the inspector general. He says one of the FBI's most significant "inaccuracies and omissions" was the failure to tell FISA judges that Papadopoulos repeatedly denied to Halper and Turk that the campaign was collaborating with Russia or WikiLeaks.
Did the Times reporters know about that exculpatory information, or did their FBI sources lie to them? Either way, the paper now knows its May story was wrong on key points, yet it remains uncorrected. ...
Days after the 2016 election, the Times issued an apology of sorts to subscribers for failing to realize that Trump could win. "Did Donald Trump's sheer unconventionality lead us and other news outlets to underestimate his support among American voters?" the publisher and editor wrote. ...
So now it's time for a second apology - a sincere one. And an honest inquiry into how the paper continues to get the big stories so wrong.
Again, these media outlets - every one of them committed to Trump's defeat and removal from office - are seriously dividing our country. The shameless lies have become a domestic security issue.
It's one thing to pontificate and rail about the president in a clearly-marked editorial; it's another to purposely push propaganda disguised as legitimate news.
We need some press accountability. We need people to be held legally liable for knowingly publishing false, distorting information. Free press comes with the responsibility to at least try to get details correct.
That's clearly not happening anymore in many of America's newsrooms in the age of President Trump. Ditto for perpetually triggered Democrats who hate the president more than they love a stable, prosperous country.

==AG Barr mentioned in AP story on New Mexico police investigate killing of 4== on Christmas Day
RIO RANCHO, N.M. (AP) - Police in New Mexico on Thursday were investigating the shooting of four people found dead on Christmas Day in a home in a suburb of Albuquerque.
…
The bedroom community has been mostly immune from the violence that has made headlines in neighboring Albuquerque and elsewhere around the state in recent years.
New Mexico had the nation's second highest violent crime rate and its highest property crime rate in 2018, despite the state's largest city reporting slight decreases in both categories for the first time in years, according to federal data released in October.
Albuquerque this year also marked a record number of homicides, even as the Democratic mayor and other politicians have been scrambling to curb the violence.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr just weeks ago announced Albuquerque would be among the seven cities around the county where the Justice Department will intensify federal law enforcement resources in hopes of driving down violent crime.

Trump says he hasn't thought about pardoning Roger Stone
President Trump said Tuesday he hadn't thought about pardoning Roger Stone, but described his former associate as a "good person" and said he had been treated very unfairly.
"I hadn't thought of it," Trump told reporters in Palm Beach, Fla., on Tuesday when asked if he would pardon Stone, who was convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing a congressional inquiry in November.
"I think it's very tough what they did to Roger Stone compared to what they do to other people on their side," Trump continued.
Trump said Stone and his first national security adviser Michael Flynn - both of whom were charged in connection with former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation - had been "hit very hard" while claiming, without evidence, his campaign had been improperly targeted by "dirty cops."
"Roger Stone was not involved in my campaign in any way other than the very, very beginning before I think, long before I announced," Trump said.
"I've known Roger over the years, he's a nice guy. A lot of people like him. And he got hit very hard, as did Gen. Flynn and as did a lot of other people," Trump said. "Now they're finding out it was all a big hoax."
"We were spied on. My campaign was spied on," the president continued.
Trump made the comments following a video teleconference with members of the U.S. military Tuesday morning.
Stone served briefly on Trump's first presidential campaign but left in August 2015; still, he remained in contact with campaign officials about WikiLeaks, according to prosecutors, and was convicted of lying about those contacts.
Trump responded to Stone's conviction on all seven counts of his indictment last month, claiming it as evidence of a "double standard" because his political rivals have not faced charges.
Stone is slated to be sentenced in February. Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., will be sentenced next month.
Trump has recently seized on a Justice Department inspector general report that found serious errors and omissions in an FBI surveillance application to wiretap his former campaign aide Carter Page in connection with the early Russia investigation. In one instance, an FBI lawyer altered a document used in the application, and the individual has been referred for possible criminal prosecution.
Trump claims that the watchdog report shows that his campaign was improperly targeted by the FBI.
Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department's inspector general, did not find evidence that political bias influenced the FBI's decision to open investigations into associates of Trump's campaign and found that the probe had an adequate predicate. Attorney General William Barr has disagreed with the latter conclusion.
Trump on Tuesday characterized the FBI agents who worked on the investigation as "dirty cops."
"These were dirty people, these were bad people, these were evil people. And I hope that someday I'm going to consider it my greatest achievement or one of my greatest achievements - getting rid of them," Trump said Tuesday.

the critical importance of this case being that the Holy See is the body that administers the operations of the Catholic Church through the Roman Curia which is the central government of the Catholic Church, and is a direct attack upon its sole leader and administrator Pope Francis-an attack attempted in 1994 when a similar clergy sex abuse case targeted the Holy See of Pope John Paul II, but the US Department of Justice stopped when a US Federal Court ruled in its favor that "permitting this action to proceed against the Pope would be incompatible with the United States' foreign policy interests"-and attempted again in 2005 when the Holy See of Pope Benedict XVI was targeted by yet another clergy sex abuse case, which again saw a US Federal Court throwing this case out after the US Department of Justice said that "allowing this lawsuit to proceed would be incompatible with the United States foreign policy interests"-but now sees President Donald Trump having sent a few weeks ago both US Attorney William Barr and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Rome where they informed the Vatican no such protection will be afforded them this time-as Trump will not place himself in danger of being accused that he is aiding pedophile Catholic clergy-and comes against a Pope Francis whom Trump reviles after this Catholic leader earlier this year called Trump's border wall cruel and compared it to the Berlin wall-which Pope Francis followed by further slamming nationalist leaders like Trump trying to protect their citizens with the shameful words: "I am concerned because we hear speeches that resemble those of Hitler in 1934...Us first...We ... We ...These are frightening thoughts"-a gross distortion of history made by Pope Francis that was followed by devout Catholic believers raiding his Vatican residence to remove and throw into the Tiber River his graven images of five wooden statues of a naked pregnant woman-an affront to every Christian belief and precept of no one being allowed to posses graven images of other gods-but which was even more shockingly met with the revelation that Pope Francis had authorized a $4.5 million expenditure in February of this year to pay for the production of a movie named Rocketman that celebrated and graphically depicted the homosexual and drug culture life of British music legend Elton John-all of which has led to the daily French general-interest Roman Catholic newspaper La Croix to declare: "The resignation of Pope Francis...the question is not 'if' he will resign, but 'when' he will actually do so"-which yesterday was met with the gravest warning of all saying that the resignation of Pope Francis "will fulfill the end of the world 900-year-old doomsday prophecy" of his being the last Catholic Pope to ever reign on Earth.

Tom Fitton: Obama Told Comey, "Good Luck" - During Planning Meeting the Day Before Comey Met Trump with Bogus Dossier (VIDEO)
Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton joined Gregg Jarrett on Lou Dobbs Tonight to discuss the latest on the Democrats' slapdash impeachment.
During the discussion Tom Fitton said President Trump will be held against this president as long as the House is controlled by the coup cabal.
Tom Fitton: It's way past due for Congress to investigate the FISAgate scandal. A lot of what we're hearing about from the IG we've already known, thanks to Devin Nunes, the Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuits. The IG was late to the game. It was a stalled report. And now finally the senate has zero excuses, the court has zero excuses, we'll see what the Justice Department does.
Gregg Jarrett: Well, we already know what people like James Comey are going to say in his awful interview where he got shredded by Chris Wallace. He said, "Well, I'm up here. I'm director of the FBI and the people putting that together were seven levels below me..." And, of course, Attorney General William Barr, said that's nonsense. He scoffed at that notion. But you know people like Comey and McCabe and probably Rosenstein are going to say, "Gosh, you know, I didn't know. I was trusting other people."
Tom Fitton: Comey took that dossier, after a meeting with Barack Obama. The next day he took it to president-elect Trump to confront him with the dossier, to get information, evidence. He ran down the stairs. - This is according to another IG report - He ran downstairs to his car. He started typing out his memo. Went to the FBI field office and called the Crossfire Hurricane team to give him his information about his spy-op on President-elect Trump. Comey was running the show and he did it frankly at the orders of President Obama. Because he told Obama and Biden at the Oval Office meeting when they planned. And, according to Comey Obama, said, "Good luck with that."
Gregg Jarrett: And we found out that Comey that same month, January 2017, found out from the sub-source that it was all phony information. It was all just made-up exaggerated... instead of running to the White House and sayin, "Sorry Mr. President, you know that dossier I told you about it's all fake."... Comey did the opposite.

AG Barr Blasts Soros For Stoking Hatred Of Police
They have started to win in a number of cities and they have, in my view, not given the proper support to the police."
That is the warning that Attorney General William Barr has for Americans, as he told Fox News' Martha MacCallum in a recent interview that liberal billionaire George Soros has been bankrolling radical prosecutor candidates in cities across the country.
"There's this recent development [where] George Soros has been coming in, in largely Democratic primaries where there has not been much voter turnout and putting in a lot of money to elect people who are not very supportive of law enforcement and don't view the office as bringing to trial and prosecuting criminals but pursuing other social agendas," Barr told Martha MacCallum.
Specifically, Barr warned that if the trend continues, it will lead to more violent crime, ading that the process of electing these prosecutors will likely cause law enforcement officers to consider whether the leadership in their municipality "has their back."
"They can either stop policing or they can move to a jurisdiction more hospitable," he said.
"We could find ourselves in a position that communities that are not supporting the police may not get the police protection they need."
The Washington Post recently reported that while two Virginia prosecutorial candidates - funded by Soros' Justice and Public Safety PAC - have never prosecuted a case in a state court, they beat candidates with more than 60 years of experience between them.

Attorney General William Barr has warned that liberal billionaire George Soros has been bankrolling radical prosecutor candidates in cities across the country.
In an interview that aired Friday on "The Story," Barr said that the Hungarian-American activist is likely relying on the routinely low turnout in local primary elections to help his candidates win.
"There's this recent development [where] George Soros has been coming in, in largely Democratic primaries where there has not been much voter turnout and putting in a lot of money to elect people who are not very supportive of law enforcement and don't view the office as bringing to trial and prosecuting criminals but pursuing other social agendas," Barr told Martha MacCallum.
"They have started to win in a number of cities and they have, in my view, not given the proper support to the police."
Barr warned that if the trend continues, it will lead to more violent crime. However, he pushed back on claims police officers will "withdraw" from communities that elect or install left-wing prosecutors who are not amenable to normal policing.
Instead, Barr said the process of electing these prosecutors will likely cause law enforcement officers to consider whether the leadership in their municipality "has their back."
"They can either stop policing or they can move to a jurisdiction more hospitable," he said. "We could find ourselves in a position that communities that are not supporting the police may not get the police protection they need."
Last month, two Virginia prosecutorial candidates ousted incumbents in local Democratic primaries – after Soros' Justice and Public Safety PAC poured nearly a million dollars into their campaigns.
He backed Parisa Dehghani-Tafti to beat Arlington County Commonwealth's Attorney Theo Stamos, and supported former Justice Department employee Steve Descano in his race against Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Raymond Morrogh. Campaign finance reports show Dehghani-Tafti received $583,000 and Descano received $392,000 just from that PAC. Meanwhile, Stamos and Morrogh raised $162,000 and $242,000, respectively, for their entire campaigns.
The money gave Tafti and Descano a significant financial advantage over the incumbents, despite their lack of experience. The Washington Post reported that while the two challengers have never prosecuted a case in a state court, they beat candidates with more than 60 years of experience between them.
Both were also boosted by Democratic former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who said Stamos and Morrogh had pushed back against his effort to restore voting rights of convicted felons after they serve their time. But supporters of the incumbents said the role that money played was significant.

House Committee Requests Documents to Investigate Jeffrey Epstein's Secret Plea Deal
The Democrat-led House Committee on Oversight and Reform requested documents from federal prosecutors and Florida law enforcement officials on Friday as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's secret plea deal.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform sent letters to U.S. Attorney General William Barr (pdf) and Richard Swearingen (pdf), the Commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, asking for "documents and information regarding the favorable deal for sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and the concealment of the deal from the victims of Mr. Epstein's crimes."
The committee wants the documents by the first week of January 2020.
Epstein, a 66-year-old financier, and already-registered child sex offender was arrested on July 6 on new charges of sex trafficking underage girls. He was later found dead in his jail cell early Aug. 10 in what was deemed as an "apparent suicide." While the medical examiner ruled his cause of death as suicide, some lawmakers and medical experts have said evidence suggests a homicide.
Prosecutors with the Southern District of New York on July 8 charged Epstein with child sex trafficking in a legal challenge to a previous agreement that took place more than a decade ago, dubbed the "sweetheart" plea deal of a lifetime.
Epstein's lawyers argued in July that according to that plea deal, signed with the Department of Justice (DOJ) through the Southern District of Florida in 2008, Epstein is immune to any new charges for crimes committed during the same period.
Meanwhile, the DOJ on Feb. 6 announced an internal investigation of the plea deal in a strongly-worded statement. Later, a federal judge ruled on Feb. 21 that prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida broke the law when arranging the plea deal because they didn't notify Epstein's alleged victims during the plea negotiations; this violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
Plea Deal
The plea deal, called a federal prosecution agreement, was made in 2008 after Epstein was accused in 2007 of operating an international child sex ring at his Palm Beach mansion and 72-acre private island estate in the Caribbean-Little St. James Island, and molesting more than 100 underage girls over eight years.
The deal saw Epstein avoid any substantial time behind bars, serving just 13 months in a private section of Florida's Palm Beach County jail. Epstein, then 54, pleaded guilty to lesser state charges-only two felony prostitution charges in state court, rather than federal court. He also paid financial settlements to victims, registered as a sex offender, and gave undisclosed information to authorities.
Per the agreement, Epstein was allowed to maintain that he was unaware that any of the girls he molested were under age 18. The deal also provided a work-release arrangement that let Epstein leave jail for 12 hours each day, six days a week, and work unsupervised at his downtown West Palm Beach office.
The deal was also sealed, which means that information relating to Epstein's alleged crimes, the people who participated in them, and specific details of the plea negotiations are still unknown.
Epstein's 13-month sentence is believed to be one of the most lenient in U.S. history for a serial sex offender.
Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida at the time of the plea deal. Court records and emails obtained by the Miami Herald show that Acosta was personally involved. Acosta resigned in July this year amid renewed scrutiny of the plea deal.

Former NSA Director Cooperating With Durham Probe Of Russia Investigation: Report
Retired Adm. Michael Rogers, the former director of the National Security Agency, is cooperating with U.S. attorney John Durham's investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, according to a new report.
The Intercept, citing four sources familiar with the matter, reports that Rogers has met voluntarily with Durham multiple times.
"He's been very cooperative," a former intelligence official familiar with the meetings told The Intercept.
The development comes after The New York Times reported Thursday that Durham, the U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, has asked the CIA for emails, call logs and other correspondence from John Brennan, the former CIA director.
The Intercept report does not say whether Rogers has provided any information that contradicts Brennan, the CIA, or the FBI.
In May, Attorney General William Barr tapped Durham to lead an administrative review of U.S. agencies' investigation and intelligence-gathering activities related to the Trump campaign. Barr said at the time that he had questions about the FBI's rationale for investigating whether Trump campaign advisers were conspiring with Russia in 2016.
Barr said in a Fox News interview this week that Durham is looking at what happened before the FBI opened that investigation in July 2016, as well as what took place after Trump was elected.
According to The New York Times, Durham is interested in the CIA's assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election specifically to help Donald Trump win the election.
The CIA and FBI assessed with a high degree of confidence that Russia meddled in the 2016 election in order to help Donald Trump win the election, rather than just to sow discord in the American political system. The NSA had only a medium degree of confidence in the theory.

BREAKING: Durham Criminal Investigation Zeros In On Brennan, Communications With Comey
United States Attorney John Durham's criminal investigation into the origins of the FBI's Russia investigation is reportedly taking a close look at former CIA Director John Brennan. Durham has "requested Mr. Brennan's emails, call logs and other documents from the C.I.A., according to a person briefed on his inquiry," The New York Times reported. "He wants to learn what Mr. Brennan told other officials, including the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, about his and the C.I.A.'s views of a notorious dossier of assertions about Russia and Trump associates." In October, The Times reported that the investigation had shifted from an administrative review into a full-fledged criminal investigation based on evidence that had allegedly been uncovered. Durham is also reportedly taking a close look at whether Brennan made contradictory statements between his private and public remarks about the anti-Trump Steele dossier and about "any debate among the intelligence agencies over their conclusions on Russia's interference." The Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz's report on the FBI's misconduct in surveilling the Trump campaign during the 2016 campaign found that the CIA informed the FBI not to rely on the Steele dossier because they viewed it as being as credible as an "internet rumor."
The New York Times added: Mr. Brennan has come into Mr. Durham's sights as he has focused on the intelligence community assessment released in January 2017 that used information from the F.B.I., the C.I.A. and the National Security Agency to detail Russia's meddling. They concluded that President Vladimir V. Putin ordered an influence campaign that "aspired to help" Mr. Trump's chances by damaging his opponent, Hillary Clinton. Officials and analysts who worked on that assessment disagreed on how to treat two pieces of intelligence: the assertion that Mr. Putin wanted to help Mr. Trump win rather than simply sow chaos, and the contents of the dossier of salacious, unproven allegations about links between Russia and Trump associates compiled by a British former spy, Christopher Steele. Mr. Durham's investigators also want to know to more about the discussions that prompted intelligence community leaders to include Mr. Steele's allegations in the appendix of their assessment.
Attorney General William Barr told Fox News on Wednesday that Durham was "not just looking at the FBI. He is looking at other agencies and also private departments and also private actors and so it is a much broader investigation. And also he is not just looking at the FISA aspect of it. He is looking at all the conduct - both before and after the election." Barr also slammed disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, saying, "One of the things that I object to is the tact being taken by Comey, which is to suggest that people who are criticizing or trying to get to the bottom of the misconduct are somehow attacking the FBI. I think that's nonsense. We're criticizing and concerned about misconduct by a few actors at the top of the FBI and they should be criticized if they engaged in serious misconduct. That doesn't mean we are criticizing the FBI and I think the tact of trying to wrap yourself in the institution and say gee, people who are criticizing the decisions I made are attacking the institution. I notice people don't do that as far as I'm concerned. People feel free to criticize me and I don't say gee you're attacking the honest men and women of the Department of Justice. I think leaders have to own their decisions and are fair game if they make bad decisions."

Barr: Durham report on Russia investigation won't be ready 'for quite a few months'
Attorney General William Barr on Thursday said that he does not expect U.S. Attorney John Durham's report on the origins of the Russia investigation "for quite a few months."
"He is moving very diligently," the attorney general told Fox News' Martha MacCallum in an interview.
But he cast doubt on some estimates that Durham could file his report as soon as the next few weeks, citing the scope of the investigation. Barr added that he has not been involved in the day-to-day operations of the probe, nor had he given Durham a specific timeline for completion.
Story Continued Below
"Just based on my general knowledge of the things that he is looking at or has to look at in the future," he explained, "I would not think that he would be in a position for quite a few months."
Barr tapped Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, in May to oversee the probe into whether the 2016 counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump and his campaign was "lawful and appropriate."

https://it.insideover.com/politica/all80-mifsud-e-morto.html
An Italian article reports that Misfud's recent mysterious phone call is almost certainly fake, and that a member of the Agrigento Justice system thinks there is an 80% chance that Misfud is dead. (3/3)
The analysis of the expert we contacted is extremely interesting: "It was recorded with a microphone attached to the collar of the shirt, in a very large environment, directly connected to the computer, there is a lot of echo," he explains to InsideOver. "In the audio file sent to the Italian newspapers - he observes - we also hear the voice of a woman, towards the end, which says 22". The person of the audio message, he continues, "does not have the same cadence as the real Mifsud of the videos, which dragged the vowels because of his breathing. This thing in the audio file is never there and I'm pretty convinced it's a fake. " Even his lawyer, Stephan Roh, had denied Adnkronos that the person of the audio message was the Maltese teacher: "It is absolutely false, 100 percent." Roh says: "Voice too high, not his accent, not the tone, he looks like a real Italian".
At this point, assuming that the appraiser is indeed right (as we believe), the question is obligatory: why would anyone make a fake audio? There are two cases: either the Maltese teacher continues to hide - who knows where - or, at worst, we are talking about a person who may no longer be alive. The last person who saw her in Rome told Panorama that "Joe has a nice apartment in Parioli, I saw him there last time. It was March 2018, "explains the source. "That [Joseph Mifsud] disappeared in 2017, I read it in the newspapers. I saw him last time in Parioli, near Piazza Euclide, where Joe had a beautiful apartment ". And then?
The hideout in the Marche region
Starting October 31st 2017 - official date of the disappearance - as ascertained by La Verità, the Maltese professor was a guest at the home of Alessandro Zampini, a surgeon specialized in odontostomatology, located six kilometers from Matelica, in Esanatoglia, a small town in province of Macerata, one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. According to Truth, Zampini would not be a "friend" of Vanna Fadini, administrator of Global education management (Gem), the Link Campus University management company, but his partner. The dentist lives in Rome but often returns to the small Marche region, where his mother Luciana lives. The name of Zampini, until some time ago, also appeared among the members of the board of the Link Campus.
As Mifsud himself explains in the deposition given to John Durham: "I stayed there for over two months - he explains - I spent these two months thinking about how to recover my health, which was one of the most important things, and also time to gather my ideas and points of view on what actually happened ". The testimonies gathered by the Truth confirm the professor's stay in Esanatoglia, in the house of Zampini.
Who is Joseph Mifsud
According to the official reconstruction, the teacher stated in a meeting in April 2016 to George Papadopoulos, advisor in the Donald Trump campaign, that he learned that the Russian government had "compromising material" (dirt) on Hillary Clinton "in the form of e- email ". At that point, the President's former consultant would have repeated this information to the Australian High Commissioner in London, Alexander Downer, who in turn reported everything to the American authorities. From here, on 31 July 2016, the FBI investigations on the alleged links between Trump and Russia started, accusations that later proved to be inconsistent. But then who designed and packaged everything with the aim of "fitting in" Trump? American justice is taking its course with the criminal investigation of John Durham.
On 7 November 2018 Giulio Occhionero - at the center of the EyePiramid affair - presented a complaint to the prosecutor's office of the Republic of Perugia for the attention of Dr. Gemma Milani, in which Joseph Mifsud is mentioned: as proof that, wherever it is, nobody can hide the fact that the mysterious professor is fundamental in understanding the origins of the Russiagate and an international intrigue that has led, twice, the Attorney General William Barr in Italy to talk with the heads of our secret services. And an American attorney general never moves from Washington DC, except in exceptional cases. Like this.

Barr Says Comey Lying Over Attempt To Distance Himself From FBI Quagmire
James Comey's claim that the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation was run "seven layers" below him is a total lie according to Attorney General William Barr, who said that the FBI's probe was actually handled by a "very small group of very high level officials."

AG Barr Says Durham Is 'Looking At' Activities Of 'Private Actors,' Agencies Beyond FBI
Attorney General William Barr provided new details Wednesday of U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe and said in an interview on Fox News that the federal prosecutor is looking into the activities of federal agencies outside the FBI, as well as those of "private actors."
"He's not just looking at the FBI," Barr said of Durham. "He's looking at other agencies ... and also private actors, so it's a much broader investigation."
Barr did not elaborate on which "private actors" are part of the Durham probe.
Barr tapped Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, in May to investigate federal agencies' surveillance and investigative activities related to the Trump campaign. Durham's probe has run parallel to a Justice Department inspector general's investigation into the FBI's surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, found extensive evidence of "significant inaccuracies" in the FBI's applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against Page. The applications, which relied heavily on information from the unverified Steele dossier, asserted there was probable cause to suspect that Page was a Russian agent.

Surveillance footage from night of Jeffrey Epstein suicide attempt goes missing
Footage from surveillance cameras monitoring Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell has gone missing, prosecutors have admitted, in the latest twist of the scandal surrounding his life and death.
The footage in question was from the night of his first suspected suicide attempt inside a Manhattan jail, on July 23.
He was found dead inside a different cell in the same jail on August 10.
Epstein's cell mate, Nick Tartaglione, a former policeman accused of quadruple murder, claimed to have saved Epstein's life after the suicide attempt. Epstein reportedly claimed that Tartaglione, a bodybuilder, attacked him.
On July 25 Tartaglione's lawyers requested the surveillance camera footage, hoping that it would bolster his argument that he is of good character.
William Barr, the attorney general, was furious that one of America's most high-profile prisoners was able to take his own life, and launched an immediate inquiry.
The warden of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan was reassigned, and two officers on duty the night he died, who fell asleep while they were supposed to be monitoring him, have been charged with neglecting their duties and falsifying records.
Mr Barr said the paedophile financier's death was the result of "a perfect storm of screw-ups".

Durham's Broad Spygate Inquiry Looking at Private Actors, Barr Says
BY IVAN PENTCHOUKOV
1 CommentsDecember 19, 2019 Updated: December 19, 2019
The investigation into the surveillance of the Trump campaign is broad in scope and includes actions taken by private actors, according to Attorney General William Barr.
Barr made the revelation in an interview with Fox News aired on Dec. 18. He appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham earlier this year to look into the origins of the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign and whether the spying on Trump-campaign associates was legal and free of improper motive.
"He's not just looking at the FBI," Barr said. "He's looking at other agencies and departments and also private actors. So it's a much broader investigation."
Private actors figured prominently in the investigation of the Trump campaign. Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele compiled an opposition research dossier on Trump. The dossier played a central role in the FBI's decision to apply for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant on Trump-campaign associate Carter Page. The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee ultimately funded Steele's work by retaining the Fusion GPS research firm through Perkins Coie, a law firm.

Barr: Criminal probe of intel community looking at "private actors" too
U.S. Attorney General William Barr continues to give provocative new details about the investigation being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham regarding the intelligence community's behavior in the Trump-Russia probe.
In an interview on Fox News Wednesday, Barr said that Durham's criminal probe is not confined to looking at federal agencies: he's also looking at "private actors."
"[Durham is] not just looking at the FBI. He's looking at other agencies ... and also private actors, so it's a much broader investigation."
William Barr, U.S. Attorney General
Barr has been speaking publicly about the ongoing probe, he says, in part to correct misreporting and misinformation in the wake of the release of the Justice Department Inspector General report by Michael Horowitz.

Former CIA Spook: Eric Holder Just Revealed That The "Deep State Is Running Scared
Former CIA officer and counter-intelligence expert Kevin Shipp says that former Obama Administration Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder gave a big Deep State panic signal when he wrote in an Op-Ed last week in the Washington Post trashing current AG William Barr and his top prosecutor John Durham. Shipp explains:
"This is very significant. We all remember that Holder was Obama's right hand man. Eric Holder was Barack Obama's enforcer. The fact that Holder comes out this quickly after the Inspector General (IG) Horowitz Report comes out... and makes this veiled threat against Durham's reputation. The fact that Eric Holder came out and made this statement is a clear indication to me they are running scared.
We have to understand it was Eric Holder that Barack Obama used to target the heads of corporations that spoke out publicly about Barack Obama. We know Holder was held in 'Contempt of Congress.' He spied on AP reporters, ran guns to drug cartels and blacked out the information. He spied on over a hundred journalists, and on and on we go...
They (Deep State) are convinced there are going to be indictments. Secondly, there is AG Barr's outrage over (IG) Horowitz's report and what it did not do. He made statements that there was spying and actions by government officials that need to be criminally looked into. Barr's outrage over this shows me that there are going to be indictments, and that he is taking this seriously. Again, when Holder comes out and puts out this bombshell in the Washington Post, which is another indication that indictments are coming. John Brennan, former Obama Administration CIA Director, is going to be at the top of the list."

FBI Blows Off Senators' Request On Materials Related To Ukrainian DNC Contractor In 2016
DECEMBER 18, 2019 By Tristan Justice
The FBI ignored Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin's requests last month for information related to former Democratic National Committee (DNC) contractor and her efforts to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign from Ukrainian officials.
In November, Johnson and Grassley gave the FBI a Dec. 9 deadline to meet their demands to hand over information found over the course of an investigation into a cyberattack on the DNC.
Politico reported in 2016 that Chalupa met with a government official from the Ukrainian embassy for damaging information on the Trump campaign. Later that year, Yahoo News reported that Chalupa was the target of a cyberattack while she was working at the DNC prompting FBI investigators to question Chalupa and take digital forensic images of her computer and smartphone.
"If this reporting is accurate, it appears that the DOJ and FBI have in their possession material relevant to our Committees' ongoing investigation into collusive actions Chalupa and the DNC took to use foreign government sources to undermine the Trump campaign during the 2016 election," Grassley and Johnson wrote to Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
According to a Taylor Foy, a spokesman for Grassley's office, the FBI has yet to respond to the senators' demands for interview notes and the materials related to Chalupa's devices.
The senators' requests to the FBI came in the midst of House impeachment proceedings centering on President Donald Trump and his dealings with Ukraine. Democrats and the media have alleged Trump conspired with his Ukrainian counterpart to interfere in the next election by investigating the Biden family in exchange for the release of nearly $400 million in military aid being withheld in an apparent "quid pro quo." The aid however, was ultimately released and the Ukrainian president has denied knowledge of any such arrangement. Further, an unredacted transcript of the phone call declassified and released to the public reveals no scheme to pressure the Ukraine government into investigating political rivals.
Instead, the transcript shows President Trump requesting Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky investigate the origins of its involvement in peddling the Russia hoax in the United States and root out corruption in his own country.
Former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, served on the board of a Ukrianian energy company earning $50,000 a month without any prior experience in the industry while Joe Biden was dictating U.S. policy towards Ukraine.
A Federalist analysis of Hunter Biden's compensation reveals the former vice president's son made far more than comparable compensation packages to board members of other companies.
Ukraine's involvement in pushing Russigate is well-documented. Grassley and Johnson's demands for more information from the FBI on the issue would shed further light in the public's interest on Ukraine's election meddling in 2016.

DETROIT - U.S. Attorney General William Barr was in Detroit on Wednesday to announce "Operation Relentless Pursuit," a new initiative aimed at reducing violent crime in Detroit and six other cities.
Barr said he is allocating $71 million to help fight violent crime in Detroit. The AG also said more federal agents will be hired and assigned to the Detroit area so that they can create more task forces to fight violent crime.

AG William Barr: Crime-reduction operation launches in Detroit
Detroit is one of America's most important cities. Its contributions to our national economy and culture are invaluable. But the city would not be what it is without its people.
The citizens of Detroit have rightfully earned a reputation across the country as well as around the world for being hardworking and no nonsense. They make the city the vital hub of manufacturing, finance, tech, trade and health care that it is today.
However, Detroit also suffers from some of the worst violent crime in America. For that reason, I came here this week to announce Operation Relentless Pursuit, a Trump administration initiative designed to reduce violent crime in some of America's toughest cities.
Joining me were the heads of the FBI, ATF, DEA and U.S. Marshals Service. We traveled here in order to together voice our support for the people of Detroit, who for far too long have endured an epidemic of violent crime. Operation Relentless Pursuit will combine the efforts of these federal partners and assist local law enforcement with its ongoing effort to restore order in Detroit.
The magnitude of this operation cannot be underestimated. For the first time in recent memory, the Department of Justice is simultaneously connecting all four major federal law-enforcement agencies to the places that most need attention. This initiative was designed to update and enhance the best crime-fighting techniques from the last thirty years - techniques that were largely abandoned by previous presidential administrations.
For decades, the violent-crime rate in America steadily fell. Then suddenly in 2015 and 2016, our country witnessed its steepest increase in murders since 1971 - a nearly 20% spike. In fact, all violent crime increased, a backslide that was exacerbated by a variety of new challenges to policing, including "reforms" that offered leniency to violent offenders, an explosion of anti-police rhetoric, and a surge in assaults on police officers. In 2016 alone, the number of officers shot and killed in the line of duty skyrocketed by 44 percent.
Michigan followed the national trend, suffering staggering escalations in violent crime including murder, aggravated assault, and rape. In 2015, there were over 7,100 reported rapes in the Great Lakes State, nearly surpassing the all-time peak from 25 years prior.
From his first day in office, ending this national crime wave was a top priority for President Trump. At his direction, the Department of Justice returned to the common-sense policies that had effectively cut crime in the past. We coordinated with our state and local partners to launch new initiatives modeled after our accomplishment, designed to swiftly take the most violent offenders off the streets.
These tried-and-true crime reduction strategies reversed the trend. The national violent-crime rate dropped in 2017, and then again in 2018. In many parts of the country, it looks like things are back on track. However, there are cities at risk of being left behind. Despite enjoying slight improvements over the last two years, Detroit still reports the highest violent-crime per capita among major cities in the U.S.
Operation Relentless Pursuit will surge an unparalleled amount of federal backing to Detroit and the other most dangerous cities in the United States. It will build on the Justice Department's successful Project Safe Neighborhoods, which encouraged community-based solutions to violent crime. It will also complement Project Guardian and DEEP (Disruption and Early Engagement Program), agency initiatives focused on reducing gun crime and preventing mass shootings.
With Operation Relentless Pursuit, local law enforcement will have access to state-of-the-art technology and our nation's top federal agents, who will be tasked with investigating and taking down the most violent offenders and their criminal organizations. We're matching our rhetoric with resources by committing significant manpower and up to $71 million in additional funding for our federal, state, and local partners.
During the Trump administration, many Americans have already received relief from the threat of violent crime. Now, Operation Relentless Pursuit will strive to ensure that peace, safety, and rule of law are enjoyed as widely as possible. Detroit can and will defeat violent crime. The federal government stands ready to follow the lead of local law enforcement on the ground and equip them with the best assets in its arsenal.

William Barr 'Must Be Removed': Letter Urges Congress to Impeach Attorney General for Repeatedly Violating Oath of Office
Published on
Tuesday, December 17, 2019
byCommon Dreams
"The Attorney General," says president of Common Cause, "has repeatedly proven unwilling to put the interests of the nation before those of the man who appointed him and he must be removed from office before he does more harm to the nation."
The pro-democracy watchdog Common Cause on Tuesday sent a letter to congressional lawmakers calling for the impeachment of U.S. Attorney General William Barr.
Sent to every member of both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, the letter (pdf) charges that Barr-appointed by President Donald Trump as the nation's top law enforcement official to lead the Justice Department-has repeatedly violated his oath of office in a way that has put the interests of the president ahead of those of the American people.
Common Cause president Karen Hobert Flynn, who authored and signed the letter, said the Attorney General "has politicized the Department of Justice and undermined trust in the law by prioritizing and acting in the interests of a president who has committed impeachable offenses, rather than upholding the law and the Constitution."
Barr, she added, "has repeatedly violated his oath to the people he swore to protect and must be impeached and removed from office. The American people deserve an Attorney General committed to upholding the Constitution and applying the law without fear or favor. The Attorney General has repeatedly proven unwilling to put the interests of the nation before those of the man who appointed him and he must be removed from office before he does more harm to the nation."

William Barr 'Must Be Removed': Letter Urges Congress to Impeach Attorney General for Repeatedly Violating Oath of Office
"The Attorney General," says president of Common Cause, "has repeatedly proven unwilling to put the interests of the nation before those of the man who appointed him and he must be removed from office before he does more harm to the nation."
The pro-democracy watchdog Common Cause on Tuesday sent a letter to congressional lawmakers calling for the impeachment of U.S. Attorney General William Barr.
Sent to every member of both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, the letter (pdf) charges that Barr-appointed by President Donald Trump as the nation's top law enforcement official to lead the Justice Department-has repeatedly violated his oath of office in a way that has put the interests of the president ahead of those of the American people.
Common Cause president Karen Hobert Flynn, who authored and signed the letter, said the Attorney General "has politicized the Department of Justice and undermined trust in the law by prioritizing and acting in the interests of a president who has committed impeachable offenses, rather than upholding the law and the Constitution."
Barr, she added, "has repeatedly violated his oath to the people he swore to protect and must be impeached and removed from office. The American people deserve an Attorney General committed to upholding the Constitution and applying the law without fear or favor. The Attorney General has repeatedly proven unwilling to put the interests of the nation before those of the man who appointed him and he must be removed from office before he does more harm to the nation."
The 9-page letter lays out the case for impeaching Barr in detail. According to a statement from the group:
Most recently Barr ignored the evidence and conclusions of the Justice Department Inspector General's report finding the FBI properly launched an investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Previously the Attorney General mischaracterized and undermined the work and conclusions of Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian election interference and obstruction of justice - intentionally delaying the release of the actual report in order to release his own "summary" to undercut the Special Counsel's findings.
The letter also details Barr's actions to facilitate the Trump Administration's unlawful withholding of the Ukraine whistleblower complaint from Congress on the basis of his Office of Legal Counsel's severely flawed reasoning-reasoning sharply criticized by the DOJ's own Inspector General and dozens of other federal agency inspectors general. Further the letter outlines the Attorney General's obstruction of the congressional investigations into the Trump Administration's attempt to insert a citizenship question into the 2020 Census by continuing to defy lawfully-issued Congressional subpoenas.
Paul S. Ryan, Common Cause vice president for policy and litigation, said, "Barr is blatantly abusing the considerable powers of his office and undermining the rule of law in this nation and he must be removed from office."
Ryan characterized Barr's abuse of power as "unprecedented for an Attorney General of the United States and cannot be tolerated in a democracy," and said, "Congress must move swiftly to impeach and remove William Barr from office."
Common Cause is not the first to call for Barr's removal. In April, the progressive advocacy group CREDO Action also called for the Attorney General to be impeached, accusing Barr of covering up for Trump in the wake of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.
This fall, as the focus of Trump's misconduct shifted to his efforts to pressure the Ukrainian government to dig up dirt on his 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden, Barr's efforts to use his position at the DOJ to insulate the president from accountability spurred fresh calls for the Attorney General's ouster.
"This isn't a presidential administration, it's a criminal enterprise," tweeted 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro in early October. "The evidence is clear: both Trump and Barr must be impeached."

Sidney Powell: 'Durham Report May Indict Brennan, Comey, And McCabe'
In a bombshell of a statement, attorney Sidney Powell suggested that at least three top Obama regime figures could soon be in serious legal jeopardy.
Powell, who is currently representing former national security adviser and retired Army general Michael Flynn - who was set up by the FBI - predicted that John Brennan, James Comey and Andrew McCabe may have indictments in their future.
Following the release of the long-awaited DOJ Inspector General's report which provided damning evidence that high-ranking officials relied on the debunked dossier of slimy British spook Christopher Steel to defraud the secret court, the next phase is coming.
According to Powell, the ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia hoax by Attorney General William Barr and prosecutor John Durham could result in the trio facing charges and the very real possibility of jail time.
The crusading attorney made her comments during a round table discussion on the podcast The War Room.
Via The War Room:
On Episode 69 of War Room: Impeachment Stephen K. Bannon, Jason Miller, and Raheem Kassam were joined by Gen. Mike Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell, who noted she believes U.S. attorney John Durham's upcoming report will indict multiple individuals.
Miller asked the attorney: "What do you want to see out of this Durham report that's coming up next?"
"I've never heard of a U.S. attorney doing a report," Powell responded. "I think [Durham is] going to indict people That's what U.S. attorney's do."
"That is huge," Miller emphasized.
Bannon inquired: "You're saying that certain people like Brennan, Comey, and McCabe and these guys should lawyer up?"
"I imagine they already have," Powell said. "If they haven't, they are even dumber than they look."

Rudy Giuliani Declares War on Obama, Says He's Ready to Release Some Bombshells
As we have been reporting all day, Rudy Giuliani has been releasing bombshell after bombshell on Twitter about some of the corruption he has uncovered during his investigations into Ukraine, Biden, Burisma and a hell of a lot more.
What we have seen so far is mind boggling to say the least.
So we decided to publish a summary of sorts from The National Sentinel which provides even more details than we published earlier.
Giuliani Adds More Context To Recent Bombshells On Obama-Era Corruption In Ukraine, Pledging 'More To Come' (Complete Summary)
(TNS) Last week, One America News' Chanel Rion, who was traveling throughout Eastern Europe with presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani, was privy to some bombshell findings regarding members of the Obama administration and Ukraine, among other countries.
As we reported December 9th:
On Saturday before departing for Florida for campaign events, President Donald Trump told the media that his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani - in Ukraine for more investigative work regarding 2016 election corruption - had "found plenty" of "good information" during his trip there and to other European countries.
The president then said he believes Giuliani wants to present a report to the Attorney General William Barr and to Congress. ...
No wonder Democrats are moving so quickly with impeachment.
Giuliani found:
- Ukrainian officials offered up six criminal cases involving Joe and Hunter Biden, including "money laundering;"
- One Ukrainian official produced official communiques and documents he says proves that Obama's U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine and 'impeachment witness' Maria Yovanovich perjured herself during her hearing;
- Another, Victor Shokin, the former Ukrainian prosecutor general, described how then-President Petro Poroshenko came into his office and told him he'd better stop investigating Hunter Biden or the country would lose a billion dollars in aid, as Joe Biden threatened (Shokin was fired);
- There are dozens of inquiries open into possible misallocation of U.S. funds in Ukraine, with the U.S. Embassy's involvement.
Giuliani - a former federal prosecutor who knows how to investigate and follow leads - traveled to Kiev, Ukraine; Budapest, Hungary; and Vienna, Austria. Here is Rion's report:

Trump's mean words harm our agency, says former FBI Director - just don't ask about our past!
President Donald Trump's verbal attacks on the FBI are a "dire threat" to the rule of law in America, according to former FBI Director William Webster. But the agency has a scandal-rich history and needs more, not less, scrutiny.
Trump has referred to certain FBI officials as "scum" and former agency Director James Comey as a "slimeball." He's accused Comey of launching the 2016 'Russiagate' investigation against his campaign for nakedly partisan reasons, and his Attorney General, William Barr, has accused the agency of acting in "bad faith" in its handling of the 2016 probe.
This renewed attention on the FBI comes after the publication of a report by the Justice Department's Inspector General last Monday. The report found 17 irregularities, inaccuracies and omissions in the FBI's FISA warrant application, used to obtain permission to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, and criticized the agency for knowingly using the bogus 'Steele Dossier' as basis for this FISA application.
While the report stopped short of accusing the agency of bias, it didn't do the FBI any favors in the PR department. Enter former Director William Webster, who set about correcting the record in a New York Times op-ed on Monday.
"Calling FBI professionals 'scum,' as the president did, is a slur against people who risk their lives to keep us safe," he wrote. Barr's accusations of bias, he continued, "risk inflicting enduring damage on this critically important institution."
President Trump's assertion last week that current FBI Director Christopher Wray "will never be able to fix the FBI" is another dangerous threat, Webster opined. "The independence of both the FBI and its director are critical and should be fiercely protected by each branch of government."
Webster seems to forget that the FBI exists to protect America's people and government, not the other way round.
Ironically, if anything, the Inspector General's report shows that left to operate independently, the FBI cannot be trusted. Though Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not directly accuse the agency of bias, a mountain of evidence suggests otherwise.

BB elevates Prosecutor from Brooklyn== ==[HRC] [AOC] to serve as #2 in DOJ
Washington - Attorney General William Barr has elevated a former top federal prosecutor in Brooklyn to help oversee day-to-day operations at the Justice Department as the No. 2 official in the deputy attorney general's office, senior department officials said Monday.
Seth DuCharme, currently a counselor to Barr, is the former chief of the criminal division in the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of New York. He worked closely on some of the most high profile federal cases of the last decade, including investigations into Huawei, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the 1MDB money laundering scandal and numerous terrorism cases.
He will be taking over as principal associate deputy attorney general, a position similar to his role in the U.S. attorney's office, which he held until earlier this year.

Barr said that Huber is currently wrapping up an investigation related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and has not been involved for months in anything related to the Russia probe.
"The other issues he's been working on relate to Hillary Clinton. Those are winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," said Barr, who did not describe the Clinton probe.

>Robinson suggests that it's moving from D.C. to Utah, under U.S. Attorney John Huber, who was selected by Attorney General Sessions to handle cases related to the IG report. Remarkably, Huber operates with a staff of 470 investigators, far exceeding the investigative power of a special counsel. One other possibility, if the cases relating to Awan include allegations of treason or other matters of national security, is that they will be tried in a military court, away from the media and the chance of compromising sensitive information, sources or methods. That lessens the likelihood that any "big fish" will get away on a technicality.
>"Rest assured," Robinson concludes, "this entire case is being handled with the utmost care."
Reminder, all the FISA related investigations were given to Durham, BUT Huber is still going after other matters:
>In a March 29 letter to Republican committee chairmen, Mr. Sessions said that Mr. Huber, the U. S. Attorney for Utah, had been appointed to "evaluate certain issues" raised by the GOP. He did not say which issues, but there are plenty.
>These included actions by Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch and others, email controversies, mishandling of classified information, Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier, FISA warrants, wire taps, leaks, grand juries, the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One deal.
https://www.judicialwatch.org/investigative-bulletin/clinton-comey-uranium-one-john-w-huber/
>Barr said Durham would now be taking over Huber's role in handling any criminal referrals from Horowitz and Huber's involvement with Trump-Russia matters was done.
>"The other issues [Huber has] been working on relate to Hillary Clinton" are "winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," Barr said.

Eric Holder Reveals Deep State Running Scared - Kevin Shipp
Former CIA officer and counter-intelligence expert Kevin Shipp says that former Obama Administration Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder gave a big Deep State panic signal when he wrote in an Op-Ed last week in the Washington Post trashing current AG William Barr and his top prosecutor John Durham. Shipp explains, "This is very significant. We all remember that Holder was Obama's right hand man. Eric Holder was Barack Obama's enforcer. The fact that Holder comes out this quickly after the Inspector General (IG) Horowitz Report comes out . . . and makes this veiled threat against Durham's reputation. The fact that Eric Holder came out and made this statement is a clear indication to me they are running scared. We have to understand it was Eric Holder that Barack Obama used to target the heads of corporations that spoke out publicly about Barack Obama. We know Holder was held in 'Contempt of Congress.' He spied on AP reporters, ran guns to drug cartels and blacked out the information. He spied on over a hundred journalists, and on and on we go. . . . They (Deep State) are convinced there are going to be indictments. Secondly, there is AG Barr's outrage over (IG) Horowitz's report and what it did not do. He made statements that there was spying and actions by government officials that need to be criminally looked into. Barr's outrage over this shows me that there are going to be indictments, and that he is taking this seriously. Again, when Holder comes out and puts out this bombshell in the Washington Post, which is another indication that indictments are coming. John Brennan, former Obama Administration CIA Director, is going to be at the top of the list."
Shipp says during the entire Trump Presidency, the mainstream media (MSM) has operated as a propaganda arm of the Deep State and the Democrats. Shipp contends, "They put these stories out intentionally because they are creating their own story, and that is what the propaganda mainstream media does. It creates its own story. . . .They want to frame their latest story that there really wasn't any spying on Trump. That's what FISA warrants and applications are all about. They are all about spying."
Shipp thinks this will be a big nail in the coffin of the MSM. Shipp says, "The mainstream media will never come back from this because finally, through shows like this and others, the real information is coming out as to what the mainstream media has done. At the top of that list is the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC. . . . What they did is they created the Russia collusion story as if it was reality, as if it was real. That is part of the procedure in doing this. Then, they invented the evidence, and that was the Steele Dossier. They portrayed this as evidence to create this false narrative. Then they sent this story out to each outlet, and all repeat the same story over and over and over again knowing the more they repeat it, the more people were going to believe it. Then, the FBI leaked information to the mainstream media. The FBI took that information leaked to the media and used their stories as evidence. Brennan leaked the dossier to the mainstream media as part of this whole machine."
Shipp says the hoax of Russia collusion and the impeachment sham of President Trump is distracting us from other very big problems such as the extreme debt the country and the world is facing. Shipp says, "Trump inherited a financial monster that was not his doing. When he was sworn into office, it already existed. It is very serious, and I think now or very soon the U.S. government will not be able to afford the interest on the national debt, much less paying off the debt itself."
It is reported that central banks are buying record amounts of gold, and even Goldman Sachs is telling its clients to buy the yellow metal. Shipp says, "This is a solid indicator that we are headed for the financial rapids with Goldman Sachs especially. Goldman Sachs is a global bank, and it's one of the main banks in the United States. The fact that Sachs and others are building up gold reserves is a clear indication that they expect a financial downturn, to put it mildly, that is coming."

>In a March 29 letter to Republican committee chairmen, Mr. Sessions said that Mr. Huber, the U. S. Attorney for Utah, had been appointed to "evaluate certain issues" raised by the GOP. He did not say which issues, but there are plenty.
>These included actions by Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch and others, email controversies, mishandling of classified information, Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier, FISA warrants, wire taps, leaks, grand juries, the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One deal.
https://www.judicialwatch.org/investigative-bulletin/clinton-comey-uranium-one-john-w-huber/
>Barr said Durham would now be taking over Huber's role in handling any criminal referrals from Horowitz and Huber's involvement with Trump-Russia matters was done.
>"The other issues [Huber has] been working on relate to Hillary Clinton" are "winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," Barr said.

Q Research General #9578: Rout Out The Den Of Vipers Edition
Eric Holder Sends Warning to John Durham, Says William Barr 'Unfit' to be Attorney General, in WaPo Op-Ed
...As a former line prosecutor, U.S. attorney and judge, I found it alarming to hear Barr comment on an ongoing investigation, led by John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, into the origins of the Russia probe. And as someone who spent six years in the office Barr now occupies, it was infuriating to watch him publicly undermine an independent inspector general report - based on an exhaustive review of the FBI's conduct - using partisan talking points bearing no resemblance to the facts his own department has uncovered.
When appropriate and justified, it is the attorney general's duty to support Justice Department components, ensure their integrity and insulate them from political pressures. His or her ultimate loyalty is not to the president personally, nor even to the executive branch, but to the people - and the Constitution - of the United States.
Career public servants at every level of the Justice Department understand this - as do leaders such as FBI Director Christopher A. Wray and Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Their fidelity to the law and their conduct under pressure are a credit to them and the institutions they serve.
Others, like Durham, are being tested by this moment. I've been proud to know John for at least a decade, but I was troubled by his unusual statement disputing the inspector general's findings. Good reputations are hard-won in the legal profession, but they are fragile; anyone in Durham's shoes would do well to remember that, in dealing with this administration, many reputations have been irrevocably lost.
This is certainly true of Barr, who was until recently a widely respected lawyer. I and many other Justice veterans were hopeful that he would serve as a responsible steward of the department and a protector of the rule of law.

Strzok didn't like Holder, texting one day that he'd been sitting in front of a portrait of Attorney General Elliot Richardson, who resigned in 1973 rather than fire the special prosecutor during Watergate in what law enforcement officials believe was a heroic act.
"It's next to the portrait of Eric Holder, which is wildly offensive," Strzok wrote.
And when Holder spoke at the Democratic National Convention, Strzok texted: "Oh God, Holder! Turn it off turn it off!

Others, like Durham, are being tested by this moment. I've been proud to know John for at least a decade, but I was troubled by his unusual statement disputing the inspector general's findings. Good reputations are hard-won in the legal profession, but they are fragile; anyone in Durham's shoes would do well to remember that, in dealing with this administration, many reputations have been irrevocably lost.
This is certainly true of Barr, who was until recently a widely respected lawyer. I and many other Justice veterans were hopeful that he would serve as a responsible steward of the department and a protector of the rule of law.
Virtually since the moment he took office, though, Barr's words and actions have been fundamentally inconsistent with his duty to the Constitution. Which is why I now fear that his conduct - running political interference for an increasingly lawless president - will wreak lasting damage.
The American people deserve an attorney general who serves their interests, leads the Justice Department with integrity and can be entrusted to pursue the facts and the law, even - and especially - when they are politically inconvenient and inconsistent with the personal interests of the president who appointed him. William Barr has proved he is incapable of serving as such an attorney general. He is unfit to lead the Justice Department.

It's also particularly ironic in light of the attorney general's comments this week, in which he attacked the FBI and the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General - two vital components of his own department. Having spent the majority of my career in public service, I found it extraordinary to watch the nation's chief law enforcement official claim - without offering any evidence - that the FBI acted in "bad faith" when it opened an inquiry into then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign. As a former line prosecutor, U.S. attorney and judge, I found it alarming to hear Barr comment on an ongoing investigation, led by John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, into the origins of the Russia probe. And as someone who spent six years in the office Barr now occupies, it was infuriating to watch him publicly undermine an independent inspector general report - based on an exhaustive review of the FBI's conduct - using partisan talking points bearing no resemblance to the facts his own department has uncovered.
When appropriate and justified, it is the attorney general's duty to support Justice Department components, ensure their integrity and insulate them from political pressures. His or her ultimate loyalty is not to the president personally, nor even to the executive branch, but to the people - and the Constitution - of the United States.
Career public servants at every level of the Justice Department understand this - as do leaders such as FBI Director Christopher A. Wray and Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Their fidelity to the law and their conduct under pressure are a credit to them and the institutions they serve.

Eric Holder: William Barr is unfit to be attorney general
As a former U.S. attorney general, I am reluctant to publicly criticize my successors. I respect the office and understand just how tough the job can be.
But recently, Attorney General William P. Barr has made a series of public statements and taken actions that are so plainly ideological, so nakedly partisan and so deeply inappropriate for America's chief law enforcement official that they demand a response from someone who held the same office.
Last month, at a Federalist Society event, the attorney general delivered an ode to essentially unbridled executive power, dismissing the authority of the legislative and judicial branches - and the checks and balances at the heart of America's constitutional order. As others have pointed out, Barr's argument rests on a flawed view of U.S. history. To me, his attempts to vilify the president's critics sounded more like the tactics of an unscrupulous criminal defense lawyer than a U.S. attorney general.
When, in the same speech, Barr accused "the other side" of "the systematic shredding of norms and the undermining of the rule of law," he exposed himself as a partisan actor, not an impartial law enforcement official. Even more troubling - and telling - was a later (and little-noticed) section of his remarks, in which Barr made the outlandish suggestion that Congress cannot entrust anyone but the president himself to execute the law.
In Barr's view, sharing executive power with anyone "beyond the control of the president" (emphasis mine), presumably including a semi-independent Cabinet member, "contravenes the Framers' clear intent to vest that power in a single person." This is a stunning declaration not merely of ideology but of loyalty: to the president and his interests. It is also revealing of Barr's own intent: to serve not at a careful remove from politics, as his office demands, but as an instrument of politics - under the direct "control" of President Trump.
Not long after Barr made that speech, he issued what seemed to be a bizarre threat to anyone who expresses insufficient respect for law enforcement, suggesting that "if communities don't give that support and respect, they might find themselves without the police protection they need." No one who understands - let alone truly respects - the impartial administration of justice or the role of law enforcement could ever say such a thing. It is antithetical to the most basic tenets of equality and justice, and it undermines the need for understanding between law enforcement and certain communities and flies in the face of everything the Justice Department stands for.

Q Research General #9572: Killin it With a Smile!! Edition
Horowitz couldn't rule it rule our bias, didn't have enough info, my thoughts just say that Horowitz! Damn
Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz appeared to admit Wednesday that political bias was a possible factor in the abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process to spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Horowitz concluded in his report that political bias did not play a role in the FBI's decision to start an investigation into possible Russian involvement in the Trump campaign.
However, under questioning by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) before the Senate Judiciary Committee Horowitz said that his investigation could not rule out bias in later stages of the FBI's investigation.
Lee: Isn't the lack of evidence on bias, evidence that we really should take as bias? But it's - in any event, its certainly not itself indicative that no bias occurred, isn't that correct?
Horowitz: As to the opening [of the investigation], which is in a different place than the FISA issues that you have identified and I talked about earlier, I think it is two different situations. On the FISA side, we found, as you noted, a lack of documentary and testimonial evidence about intentionality, but we noted the lack of satisfactory explanations, and in fact, leave open the possibility, for the reasons you indicated, it is unclear what the motivations were. ==On the one hand, gross incompetence, negligence; on the other hand intentionality, and we're in between - we weren't in a position with the evidence we had, to make that conclusion, but we are not ruling it out==
Lee: My point here - the lack of evidence here is not evidence that there is no bias
Horowitz: I am solely basing it - correct - on the actual evidence that we have
Lee: Okay. Thank you very much.
Both Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducing a criminal investigation of the FBI's conduct, have said publicly that the differ with Horowitz about the lack of political bias in starting the investigation.
Later, Horowitz reiterated that he and his staff "couldn't reach a conclusion about what motivated" the FISA abuse.

Cruz mocks FBI on Russia probe: 'This wasn't Jason Bourne. This was Beavis and Butt-Head'
https://youtu.be/_ny0GtrO2E4
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, let it be known Wednesday that he isn't impressed with the FBI's and the Department of Justice's handling of the Trump-Russia investigation – saying those involved were hardly the type of skillful agents found in an action thriller movie.
"What was going on here – this wasn't Jason Bourne, this was Beavis and Butt-Head," Cruz said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Cruz's pop culture reference was only the highlight of a lengthy tirade where he bashed the conduct of some FBI agents and Justice Department (DOJ) employees during the Trump-Russia probe.
The hearing, which featured the testimony of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, came two days after a report identified significant problems with applications to receive and renew warrants to eavesdrop on a former Trump campaign aide in 2016 and 2017.
Cruz called the report a "stunning indictment of the FBI and the Department of Justice, of a pattern of abusive power." He also said the facts in the report "should be deeply chilling" to anyone who understands them and that the errors made "are grotesque abuses of power."
While Horowitz said on Wednesday that he is concerned that "so many basic and fundamental errors" were made by the FBI, his report found that the FBI's actions were not motivated by partisan bias and that the investigation was opened for a proper cause.
"I think the activities we found don't vindicate anybody who touched" the warrant applications, Horowitz said.
Democrats have seized on the inspector general's conclusion that the investigation was not tainted by political motivations. But Republicans say the findings show the investigation was fatally flawed. Attorney General William Barr, a vocal defender of President Trump, said the FBI investigation was based on a "bogus narrative" and he declined to rule out that agents may have acted in bad faith.
Horowitz told senators that the FBI failed to follow its own standards for accuracy and completeness when it sought a warrant from the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to monitor the communications of ex-campaign aide Carter Page.
The report detailed 17 errors and omissions during those wiretap applications, including failing to tell the court when questions were raised about the reliability of some of the information that it had presented to receive the warrants.
"We are deeply concerned that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, hand-picked investigative teams, on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations, after the matter had been briefed to the highest levels within the FBI," Horowitz said.
Fox News' Adam Shaw and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Attorney General Barr: FBI Ignored Exculpatory Evidence, Hid Information to Continue Trump Investigation
During a portion of an interview with NBC's Pete Williams that aired on Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," Attorney General William Barr said the FBI ignored exculpatory evidence when obtaining FISA warrants in the investigation of any possible Trump campaign ties with Russia.
Barr said, "From day one - remember, they said, okay, we're not going to talk to the campaign. We're going to put people in there, rile them up and have conversations with people involved in the campaign because that way, we'll get the truth. From the very first day of this investigation, which is July 31st, 2016, all the way to its end, September 2017, there was not one incriminatory bit of evidence to come in. It was all exculpatory. The people with the tapings denied it with Russia, denied the specific facts that the FBI was relying on. So what happens? The FBI ignores it, presses ahead, withholds that information from the court, withholds critical exculpatory information from the court while it gets an electronic surveillance warrant. It also withholds from the court clear cut evidence that the dossier that they ultimately relied on to get the FISA warrant was a complete sham."
He continued,
=="They hid information about the lack of the liability, even when they went the first time for the warrant. But in January, after the election, the entire case collapsed when the principal source says I never told this. I never told Steele this stuff. And this was also speculation. And I have zero information to support this stuff. At that point, when their entire case collapsed, what do they do? They kept on investigating the president well into his administration after the case collapsed.
But here to me is the damning thing: They not only didn't tell the court that what they had been relying on was completely, you know, rubbish, they actually started putting in things to bolster this Steele report by saying we talked to the sources and they appeared to be truthful. But they don't inform the court what they're truthful about is that the dossier is false. So that's hard to explain. And the core statement, in my opinion by the IG, is that these irregularities, these misstatements, these omissions were not satisfactorily explained and that leaves open the possibility to infer bad faith

William Barr: FBI Falsified Documents to Continue Spying on Trump & Co. After Election
Attorney General William Barr says the FBI falsified documents to continue its surveillance of President Donald Trump and his associates after winning the 2016 election, revealing a detail not found in the Inspector General's review of the Bureau's "Crossfire Hurricane" operation in a Tuesday interview with NBC News reporter Pete Williams.
PETE WilliamS: What questions will John Durham address that the IG didn't?
ATTORNEY GENERAL William Barr: Durham is looking at the whole waterfront. He is looking at the issue of how it got started. He's looking at whether or not the narrative of Trump being involved in the Russia interference actually preceded July and was it, in fact, the precipitating trigger for the investigation. He's also looking at the conduct of the investigation. There were some things done in the investigation that are not included in Horowitz's report. He's looking at those things. But also, a few weeks ago, I told him that he should spend just as much attention on the post-election period. I did that because of some of the stuff that Horowitz has uncovered, which, to me, inexplicable.
WilliamS: Such as?
ATTORNEY GENERAL Barr: Their case collapsed after the election and they never told the court. They kept on getting renewals on these applications. There were documents falsified in order to get these renewals. There were all kinds of withholding of information from the court. The question really is: "What was the agenda after the election?" They kept on pressing ahead after their case collapsed. This is the President of the United States.

He continued, "I think that there were gross abuses of FISA. And inexplicable behavior that are intolerable in the FBI. And the attorney general's primary responsibility is to protect against the abuse of the law enforcement and intelligence apparatus. And make sure that it doesn't."

"You know, these things take time, and I know there's a lot of impatience. People want results immediately. But those are people who don't understand our process. We have to be careful about the way we collect evidence, an we have to make sure that we have enough evidence to justify our actions. And we're not going to cut corners in that respect.You know there are some people who think this thing is going to drop in a few weeks. That's not the case. I see this perhaps reaching an important watershed perhaps in the late spring early summer."
- William Barr, Attorney General of the United States.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The Attorney General William Barr is speaking at a Wall Street Journal CEO conference right now. I got some audio sound bites here. One of the things that he also said, he gave an exclusive interview to NBC News. He thinks the FBI may have acted in bad faith in the Trump investigation.
He said: "I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative." This was in an interview he did with Pete Williams of NBC. In the interview, Barr essentially dismissed the findings of the inspector general that there was no evidence of bias, and he said that his handpicked prosecutor, John Durham, will have the last word on the matter.
"I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by an irresponsible press." This guy knows exactly what happened, and he is showing guts and courage I can't - folks, I cannot tell you. It's based on my answer to our caller in the last 15 minutes how serious and big an attempt at upsetting the power structure of Washington, D.C., and New York and Brussels and London and all of these European capitals where much of the deep state is also headquartered, where the globalist movement is, to eventually disintegrate the U.S. Constitution, Bill Barr is taking it on with Durham courageously and bravely.
It is true patriotism, and it's true guts and courage 'cause it is a bigger undertaking than you can possibly imagine. It's not just indicting James Comey or Clapper or Brennan and putting them on trial. It's much bigger because they are just foot soldiers in all of this. So for Barr to be saying this on the day of and the day after this report comes out, he's basically saying that Horowitz doesn't get it, everything in this thing in terms of motivation is dead wrong. He says, "I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by an irresponsible press."
They were not irresponsible, they were complicit. Now, that may mean irresponsible. They were complicit. The media is part of the administrative state, deep state, whatever you want to call it. The media is also among the targets here.
"The blistering criticism of the FBI's conduct in the Russia investigation ... is bound to stoke further controversy about whether the attorney general is acting in good faith, or as a political hatchet man for Trump." He's acting in good faith but he's not a hatchet man at all. The man is a patriot, and he is representing all of us. He's out there showing guts and courage and trying to inspire others to get on board and follow him.

U.S. senators threaten Facebook, Apple with encryption regulation
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. senators grilled Apple Inc and Facebook Inc executives over their encryption practices on Tuesday and threatened to regulate the technology unless the companies make encrypted user data accessible to law enforcement.
At a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Democrats and Republicans presented a rare united front as they invoked child abuse and mass shooting cases in which encryption has blocked access to key evidence and stymied investigations.
"You're going to find a way to do this or we're going to go do it for you," said Senator Lindsey Graham. "We're not going to live in a world where a bunch of child abusers have a safe haven to practice their craft. Period. End of discussion."
Facebook has been wrestling with multiple governments since announcing its plan to extend end-to-end encryption across its messaging services earlier this year. Its WhatsApp messaging app is already encrypted.
In October, U.S. Attorney General William Barr and law enforcement chiefs of the United Kingdom and Australia called on the world's biggest social network not to proceed with its plan unless law enforcement officials are given backdoor access.
Facebook rejected that call in a letter signed by WhatsApp head Will Cathcart and Messenger head Stan Chudnovsky which it released along with the company's written testimony.
"The 'backdoor' access you are demanding for law enforcement would be a gift to criminals, hackers and repressive regimes," they wrote. "That is not something we are prepared to do."
Apple weathered a legal fight over encryption in 2016, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation sought access to an iPhone owned by a slain sympathizer of Islamic State in San Bernardino, California, who had murdered county employees.
That stand helped bolster the company's reputation for protecting user privacy, while Facebook has been mired in a series of scandals in recent years over its handling of personal data.
In their testimony, Facebook's messaging privacy chief Jay Sullivan traded barbs with Apple privacy head Erik Neuenschwander, each suggesting lawmakers focus their scrutiny on the other company's business.
Sullivan said repeatedly that Facebook does not build devices or operating systems, and suggested the company was open to "on-device scanning" proposals that would automatically identify matches for illegal content.
"We don't have forums for strangers to contact each other … and our business doesn't have us scanning material of our users to build profiles of them," said Neuenschwander.

Lindsey Graham: FBI Ran 'Criminal Enterprise to Defraud the FISA Court'
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Monday excoriated the FBI's investigation into now-debunked collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia as a "criminal enterprise."
Graham made the stinging remarks following the Justice Department inspector general report's release in which 17 "significant inaccuracies and omissions" involving three applications filed under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act were detailed. The report, authored by DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz, stated the inaccuracies likely led to the FBI's justification to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
"I believe there will be no debate among reasonably minded people, particularly lawyers, about how the system got off the rails, but in my view became a criminal enterprise to defraud the FISA court, to deny American citizen Carter Page his constitutional rights, and to continue an operation against President Trump as president of the United States," he said.
"These are statements I don't make lightly," he added.
The FBI included unverified information from former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele in its application seeking a warrant to wiretap Page. After a sub-source of Steele's raised doubt on the information regarding Page, the FBI withheld the concerns from the FISA court, said the report.
Although Horowitz harshly criticized the FBI's conduct, he ruled that the officials overseeing the investigation were not tainted by political bias and their information was "sufficient to satisfy the low threshhold" to launch the probe.
Attorney General William Barr issued a statement condemning the report's conclusions, saying it proved the FBI launched an "intrusive" probe into the Trump campaign on "the thinnest of suspicions."
"It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory," Barr said. "Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration."

Crossfire Hurricane in a teacup? IG report exposes gaping chasm between Russiagate inquiry and reality
The long-awaited report on the origins of Russiagate shows the intelligence community played fast and loose with the truth to build its case against candidate Donald Trump and inflate the specter of Russian election interference.
The report by the Department of Justice's Inspector General (DOJ IG) "makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a US presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken," Attorney General William Barr said in a statement following the report's publication on Monday. Despite the clear efforts by a handful of malicious FBI officials to mislead the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court, he continued, the "evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory."
While praising IG Michael Horowitz's work, Barr made it clear he disagrees with its essential conclusion - that all the prerequisites were properly met in order to launch July 2016's counterintelligence inquiry into purported Russian election meddling, dubbed "Crossfire Hurricane."
Horowitz's report analyzed the launch of Crossfire Hurricane through surveillance of four Trump campaign figures - Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Paul Manafort, and Michael Flynn - "to determine whether individual(s) associated with the Trump campaign are witting of and/or coordinating activities with the Government of Russia."
The entire probe was based on nothing more than a "friendly foreign government" tip about Papadopoulos claiming to have heard from Russia about juicy information on Hillary Clinton. That claim, plus "the FBI's ongoing cyber intrusion investigation of the July 2016 hacks of the Democratic National Committee," provided all the justification needed to surveil the Trump campaign going forward, even though the FBI acknowledged there was little by way of probable cause to suggest Page, at least, was acting as a foreign agent.
Some 17 total errors and omissions were found in the FISA documentation for Page alone, and the FBI's willingness to take the reporting of British spy Christopher Steele at face value in order to provide justification for surveilling Page - in the total absence of any corroborating information in its files, and compounded by the omission of contradictory information - requires a sizable suspension of disbelief.
The report highlights an internal conflict over the centrality of the unsubstantiated Steele Dossier, which played a starring role in the Russiagate narrative despite its dubious provenance. It was even included in the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) used to brief then-president Barack Obama and candidate Trump, even as former CIA director John Brennan flatly denied having relied upon the dossier "in any way" in court filings, applications, or other procedures.

Department of Justice Attorney General William Barr responded Monday to the release of the DOJ Inspector General's report stating that the FBI 'launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken."
Barr blasted the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane team that led the investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign and the evidence uncovered by Inspector General Michael Horowitz that the bureau agents withheld exculpatory information from the secret court, failed to adequately vet the information supplied by former British spy Christopher Steele and moved forward to spy on the Trump campaign knowing they misled the FISA court.

...the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General's report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process, Attorney General William Barr
"The Inspector General's report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken," said Barr. "It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration."
"In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source," Barr said. "The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General's report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process."
Barr said "FISA is an essential tool for the protection of the safety of the American people. The Department of Justice and the FBI are committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to rectify the abuses that occurred and to ensure the integrity of the FISA process going forward."
He noted that FBI Director Christopher Wray is "dismayed about the handling of these FISA applications."

Attorney General: Surveillance of Trump Campaign 'a Clear Abuse of the FISA Process'
Attorney General William Barr announced on Dec. 9 that the surveillance operation against the Trump campaign in 2016 amounted to a "clear abuse" of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process.
Barr made the remarks in a statement responding to the Justice Department inspector general's report on the handling of the FISA applications for warrants to spy on Trump-campaign associate Carter Page.
"In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source," Barr said.
"The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General's report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process."
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded in a report released on Dec. 9 that the four applications for warrants to spy on Page contained 17 significant errors. The errors and other failures amounted to "serious performance failures by the supervisory and non-supervisory agents."
Barr said FBI Director Wray is "dismayed" by the handling of the FISA applications. Wray is expected to announce a comprehensive set of reforms on Dec. 9, according to Barr.
The FBI launched a counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign in late July 2016. Barr concluded that the investigation was "intrusive" and was initiated based "on the thinnest of suspicions." The suspicions were "insufficient" to justify the steps the bureau went on to take, Barr said.
"Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration," Barr said.
In late October 2016, the FBI secured a FISA warrant to surveil Page. The bureau renewed the warrant three times, surveilling Page for a total of twelve months.
The FISA warrant application featured claims from an unverified dossier of opposition research on Trump. Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele compiled the dossier by using second- and third-hand sources with ties to the Kremlin.
"Steele himself was not the originating source of any of the factual information in his reporting. Steele instead relied on a Primary Sub-source for information, who used his/her network of sub-sources to gather information that was then passed to Steele," the inspector general's report said.
The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee ultimately paid for Steele's work, a fact the FBI did not disclose in the warrant application.
While the extent of the surveillance granted in Page's case remains classified, FISA warrants allow for some of the most intrusive spying under the law. Under the so-called "two-hop" rule, investigators could collect the communications of every person Page interacted with as well every person who communicated with Page's contacts. As a result, it is possible that the FBI obtained the communications of the entire Trump campaign, both retroactively and in real-time.
A number of FBI officials directly involved in preparing and signing the FISA warrants have all either left or been fired from the bureau, including Director James Comey, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok.
The scandal surrounding the surveillance warrants was amplified by the discovery of biased text messages between Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was having an extramarital affair. Strzok and Page vented their hatred of Trump, spoke of his slim chances of winning the election, committed to stopping him from being elected, discussed an "insurance policy" in the unlikely event of a Trump victory and mulled "impeachment" once around the time they joined special counsel Robert Mueller's team.
Strzok led the investigation of the Trump campaign and the probe of Hillary Clinton's use of an unauthorized private email server for government work. In a report on the review of the Clinton-email probe, Horowitz concluded that Strzok and Page's biased messages "cast a cloud" over the investigation, but was unable to find evidence to support the claim that the bias had an effect on any investigative decisions.
Horowitz formally announced the investigation into the Carter Page FISA in March 2018. He submitted a draft report to the DOJ in September. Horowitz said at the time that his team reviewed more than 1 million documents and interviewed more than 100 witnesses.

The Department of Justice Inspector General's 434 page report is still being reviewed by congressional representatives less than two hours after its publication but speculation is rising as to what will be the next steps the Department of Justice will take to ensure it doesn't happen again.
While Inspector General Michael Horowitz listed significant malfeasance within the FBI's 'Crossfire Hurricane' investigation into Trump's campaign, his investigation was limited. It appears the answer to what may happen next lies with DOJ appointed Connecticut Attorney John Durham.
In a rare public statement Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origin of the FBI's investigation, stated frankly that he had spoke to Durham about issues pertaining to his report and apparent evidence Durham's team has collected regarding the origination of the bureau's probe.
"I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff," stated Durham. "However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened."
Last month, Durham changed his investigation into the origin of the FBI probe into Trump from an administrative review to a criminal probe. The decision came after reports surfaced that Durham had traveled to Italy where he, along with Barr, met with top officials in Italian intelligence.
Durham has also interviewed sources in London, England and Australia, according to reports.
The information gleaned from Durham's investigation is thus far unknown but based on his travels and interviews with foreign intelligence officials it is believed that he is investigating the roles of confidential human informants and how these foreign intelligence agencies may have provided a work around for the FBI to spy on members of the Trump campaign, according to sources.
Last month, SaraACarter.com reported that Durham had expanded his probe to the Pentagon's office of Net Assessment, which contracted FBI informant Stephan Halper to reports. It is believed that the Pentagon's office was used as a
Multiple sources confirmed to this news site that Durham spoke extensively with sources working in the Office of Net Assessment, as well as outside contractors, that were paid through Pentagon office.
Department of Justice officials declined to comment on Durham's probe.
In 2016, Halper was an integral part of the FBI's investigation into short-term Trump campaign volunteer, Carter Page and George Papadopolous. Halper first made contact with Page at his seminar in July 2016. Page, who was already on the FBI's radar, was accused at the time of being sympathetic to Russia. Halper stayed in contact with Page until September 2017.
During that time, the FBI sought and obtained a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to spy on Page and used Halper to collect information on him, according to sources.
It is further alleged that Halper may have secretly recorded his conversations with Page and Papadopolous. Some congressional officials believe that if recordings exist they were kept from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and would be exculpatory evidence that would've exonerated Page from the FISA warrant and allegations that Papadopolous was attempting to seek any help from the Russians with regard to Hillary Clinton's emails.
Moreover, this news site also learned that the Pentagon sent Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley's committee the information it requested in July, regarding Halper's contracts and the Office of Net Assessment. Grassley sent the request in a letter to Department of Defense Acting Secretary Mark Esper, after a Pentagon Inspector General investigation discovered that the office failed to conduct appropriate oversight of the contracts. Grassley urged Esper for the information.
"The committee is currently reviewing information received recently from the Pentagon, in response to Grassley's request," said Taylor Foy, a spokesman for the committee. Foy confirmed Grassley is continuing to investigate the matter.

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report will reveal that significant evidence was withheld from the court in the FBI's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application to gather communications on a short term volunteer for President Donald Trump's campaign, according to sources familiar with the report.
The sources noted that Horowitz's report will reveal that the FBI misled the court when they applied for the application and its findings contradict a past report submitted by now Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff that there was no abuse by the FBI in regard to the FISA.
Further, the revelations may lead Horowitz to spin off on a new investigation into whether or not the FBI is following its Woods procedure as required. The procedures stipulate that every fact must be vetted before a warrant is submitted to the secret court to spy on an American.
"There were omissions of evidence," said one source. "There are significant problems discovered by Horowitz in his investigation. If Attorney General William Barr wants, he can actually withdraw the FISA as a symbolic motion, if he does not believe it's valid."
Further, the apparent failure to follow the Woods Procedures by the bureau in the case of Page will be significant. The FBI safe-guard procedures were named after FBI official Michael Woods. Woods drafted the rules when he was head of the Office of General Counsel's National Security Law Unit and his procedures went into effect in 2001.
It was to "ensure accuracy with regard to ... the facts supporting probable cause" because the FBI had significant recurring problems with evidence - that was found to be inaccurate - that it presented to the FISA court.
Trump campaign adviser Carter Page's FISA warrant is central to Horowitz's report and sources have told SaraACarter.com that exculpatory information was also withheld from the court on his application.
Here's what Schiff issued in his memo on January, 29, 2018 and it appears that his Democrat memo was not accurate according to the sources who spoke to this reporter.

Ukrainian Official Reveals Six Criminal Cases Opened in Ukraine Involving the Bidens
President Trump spoke to the press Saturday at the White House as he departed for Florida for speeches before the Israeli-American Council National Summit in Hollywood and a Republican fundraising dinner in Aventura.
Trump told the waiting reporters that his personal attorney former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani "found plenty" of "good information" during his recent trip to Ukraine and Europe.
Trump then added that he believes Giuliani wants to present a report to the Attorney General William Barr and to Congress. Trump added Giuliani has not told him what he found.
Giuliani reportedly traveled to Budapest and Ukraine this past week to meet with several Ukrainian officials about corruption.
OAN reporter Chanel Rion has been traveling with Rudy Giuliani and reporting on his investigations in Hungary and Kiev, Ukraine.
In her report released on Sunday night Chanel Rion mentioned that Ukrainian officials showed her six criminal cases involving the Bidens, Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

JOHN SOLOMON: IG Report Lays Out "Incontrovertible Evidence" Obama FBI Misled FISA Court
According to award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon, the DOJ Inspector General's report into Spygate lays out "incontrovertible evidence" that Obama's FBI misled the FISA court with false information and omissions.
The IG report is expected to be released Monday at 1 PM ET, however sources have told John Solomon that the lies and omissions were so egregious that Attorney General Bill Barr may actually withdraw the FBI's application for the FISA warrants on Carter Page that began in October of 2016.
Via John Solomon:
The evidence that the judges were misled is so sweeping that it could provide grounds, if Attorney General William Barr chooses, to withdraw the FBI's application for the surveillance warrants that began in October 2016 to target ex-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, the sources added.
"The evidence of false statements, false information, deception through omission is going to raise an important debate about FISA," one source told me.
The report is expected to conclude the FBI's decision to open a counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia in 2016 was adequately predicated but that its subsequent reliance on the so-called Steele dossier and execution of FISA warrants to assist the probe were problematic.
That reliance became even more troubling in early 2017 when the FBI conducted an interview with one of Christopher Steele's sources that raised further concerns about the reliability of a dossier that was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
One question, the sources said, is whether FBI officials with access to the facts failed to adequately divulge issues in the case to those officials who signed the warrant, which was approved Oct 21, 2016 and renewed three times in 2017.
According to investigative reporters Sara Carter and Paul Sperry, the IG report is expected to have several criminal referrals.
It is important to note that IG Michael Horowitz does not have the power to indict or impanel a grand jury, he can only criminally refer people for investigation.

Steele warned that IG report contains information previously blacked out, report says
Christopher Steele, the British ex-spy and author of the anti-Trump dossier, was reportedly told that the Justice Department will release information about him that was previously blacked out in the department's internal watchdog report on the investigation into President Trump's 2016 campaign due on Monday. The New York Times, citing two individuals with knowledge of the situation, reported that Attorney General William Barr approved the release of the previously redacted information in Michael Horowitz's 400-page report. The report called Steele's heads-up unusual and said he was not given any indication of whether the information would benefit or hurt him. An after-hours email from Fox News to the Justice Department was not immediately returned.
Steele is poised to be a notable figure in the Horowitz report because he provided opposition research into the Trump campaign's connections to Russia which was funded by Democrats and the Clinton campaign. Much of the Steele dossier has been proven discredited or unsubstantiated, including the dossier's claims that the Trump campaign was paying hackers in the United States out of a nonexistent Russian consulate in Miami, and that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen traveled to Prague to conspire with Russians. Special Counsel Robert Mueller also was unable to substantiate the dossier's claims that Carter Page, who worked on the Trump campaign, had received a large payment relating to the sale of a share of Rosneft, a Russian oil giant, or that a lurid blackmail tape involving the president existed. Horowitz's report, as described by people familiar with its findings, is expected to conclude there was an adequate basis for opening one of the most politically sensitive investigations in FBI history and one that Trump has denounced as a witch hunt. It began in secret during Trump's 2016 presidential run and was ultimately taken over by Mueller.
The report comes as Trump faces an impeachment inquiry in Congress centered on his efforts to press Ukraine to investigate a political rival, Democrat Joe Biden - a probe the president also claims is politically biased. Still, the release of Inspector General Michael Horowitz's review is unlikely to quell the partisan battles that have surrounded the Russia investigation for years. It's also not the last word: A separate internal investigation continues, overseen by Trump's attorney general, William Barr and led by a U.S. attorney, John Durham. That investigation is criminal in nature, and Republicans may look to it to uncover wrongdoing that the inspector general wasn't examining. Trump tweeted Sunday: "I.G. report out tomorrow. That will be the big story!"

Trump on Giuliani Trip To Ukraine: I Hear He's Found Plenty of Good Information, Wants to Report to Congress and Attorney General
President Trump spoke to the press Saturday at the White House as he departed for Florida for speeches before the Israeli-American Council National Summit in Hollywood and a Republican fundraising dinner in Aventura, telling reporters that his personal attorney former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani "found plenty" of "good information" during his recent trip to Ukraine and Europe. Trump said he believes Giuliani wants to present a report to the Attorney General William Barr and to Congress. Trump added Giuliani has not told him what he found.
Giuliani reportedly traveled to Budapest and Ukraine to meet with Ukrainians about corruption.
Excerpt from White House transcript:
Q Did Rudy Giuliani tell you why he was going to Europe? And do you approve?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I just know he came back from someplace, and he's going to make a report, I think to the Attorney General and to Congress. He says he has a lot of good information. I have not spoken to him about that information.
But Rudy, as you know, has been one of the great crime fighters of the last 50 years. And he did get back from Europe just recently, and I know - he has not told me what he found, but I think he wants to go before Congress and say - and also to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice. I hear he's found plenty, yeah.

Lawmakers Urge AG Barr to Prosecute Obscene Pornography Producers, Distributors
Four Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr to urge him to take action against producers and distributors of obscene pornography.
The letter, obtained by the National Review, was signed by Reps. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), and Brian Babin (R-Texas) and asks the Justice Department to enforce U.S. obscenity laws against the porn industry.
The congress members say the internet and evolving technologies are fueling an explosion in obscene pornography, which is coinciding with the increase of violence towards women and an increase in the volume of human trafficking as well as child pornography. Dr. Alvin Cooper, a sex research, said online pornography addiction is becoming a rising problem because the accessibility, affordability, anonymity provided by the internet makes the content more readily available, calling the phenomenon the "Triple A engine."
"Victims are not limited to those directly exploited ... and include society writ large. This phenomenon is especially harmful to youth, who are being exposed to obscene pornography at exponentially younger ages," they wrote in their letter dated Dec. 6 (pdf).

POTUS says he will hold off designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups
WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Friday he will temporarily hold off designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations at the request of Mexico's president.
Trump said last week he would make the designation to disrupt the drug cartels' finances by imposing sanctions such as asset freezes and travel bans.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador criticized the plan, saying he wanted cooperation with the United States on fighting drug gangs, not intervention.
"All necessary work has been completed to declare Mexican Cartels terrorist organizations," Trump said on Twitter.
"However, at the request of a man who I like and respect, and has worked so well with us, President Andres Manuel @lopezobrador we will temporarily hold off this designation and step up our joint efforts to deal decisively with these vicious and ever-growing organizations!" he said. A growing chorus of conservative voices in the United States has called for Mexican cartels to be classified as terrorist groups after the killing in Mexico last month of nine American mothers and children with dual Mexican nationality.
While the designation would not directly give the United States authority for military operations in Mexico, many Mexicans were nervous their northern neighbour could use it as a pretext for a unilateral intervention. Lopez Obrador said he welcomed Trump's move. "I welcome that he has taken our opinion into account. … It was a very good decision today to defer the designation," Lopez Obrador told reporters.
Trump's tweet reversing course came a day after U.S. Attorney General William Barr discussed the issue in meetings with Lopez Obrador, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard and other Mexican officials in Mexico City. The two sides "talked about cooperation in arms trafficking, money laundering, international drug trafficking and how to deal with transnational crime and international drug trafficking," Mexico's foreign ministry said in a statement.
Trump's threat to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist groups had also met resistance within his administration. Some U.S. officials privately expressed misgivings about the risk of damaging U.S. relations with Mexico and hindering the Mexican government's fight against drug trafficking, according to people familiar with the matter. Lopez Obrador has attempted to chart a non-confrontational security policy during his first year in office. His government says its priorities are disrupting the cartels' cash flows and money-laundering opportunities and halting illegal arms trafficking into Mexico from the United States.
Trump has repeatedly offered military assistance in the fight against drug gangs, which Lopez Obrador has always declined.

BREAKING: Judge Sides With Judicial Watch, Forcing Secret Barack Obama FBI-Clinton Collusion Communications To Be Released
posted by Daily Fodder Team on December 06, 2019
https://www.thedailyfodder.com/2019/12/breaking-judge-sides-with-judicial.html
By John Paluska, Founder of The Daily Fodder
A judge recently sided with Judicial Watch in a court proceeding that would force the FBI to comply with a FOIA request that would release secret conversations between a Barack Obama FBI/DOJ lawyer and a Former FBI lawyer now working for Hillary Clinton concerning the Russian Collusion Hoax Probe.
The judge, James E, Boasberg, rejected the argument by the FBI that Michael Sussmann, an Obama-era-DOJ-turned-Clinton lawyer, has "privilege" rights as Clinton's new attorney.
Michael Sussmann works with Perkins Coie, the firm responsible for the salacious, libelous, and thoroughly debunked Steele Dossier. While working for the FBI, he and then-FBI-Chief-Council James Baker, who played an important role in the Russia Collusion Hoax Probe had a series of conversations relating to the probe that were the subject of the Judicial Watch FOIA request. Michael Sussmann, in sworn testimony, has admitted to leaking documents to the press during the Russia Collusion Hoax Probe.
Sussmann and Baker also had multiple conversations concerning those leaked documents. However, he was also handling the investigation into the alleged DNC server hacks and also personally hired Christopher Steele. It is also speculated he acted as a "conduit" between Steele and the FBI. This means these conversations the FBI is attempting to keep buried could shine serious light on the inner workings of the Russia Collusion Hoax Probe.
Judicial Watch's court victory comes ahead of the release of Inspector General Horowitz's findings regarding the illegal actions taken by the Obama-controlled FBI to investigate President Trump during the 2016 election. The report is slated to be released this upcoming Monday, the same date Jerry Nadler quickly announced there would be the second day of the Democrat-lead Impeachment Pseudo-Debates.
In separate statements, William Barr has said there is a criminal investigation concerning the actions undertaken during the Russia Collusion Hoax Probe, and there have been reports of Deep State agents lawyering up. If Judicial Watch is able to release these conversations then there could be a real reckoning in the public's eye over Barack Obama, Democrats, the Intelligence Community, and their scheme to take down President Trump through a phony investigation based on a hoax. This could certainly help President Trump win reelection in 2020.

DOJ Said To Weigh Low-ball 1MDB Settlement-Goldman Shares Jump
Anyone who feared Goldman might suffer a massive fine or, worse, criminal penalties (possibly involving current and former senior executives such as Hillary Clinton's very close friend, Lloyd Blankfein) can breathe a sigh of relief. Goldman shares jumped 2.5% Friday morning after Bloomberg reported that the DoJ is seeking a settlement of between $1.5 billion and $2 billion for Goldman's involvement in the 1MDB affair.That substantially less than most analysts had anticipated. Earlier this year, senior Malaysian officials made a big show of demanding that Goldman pay back all of the money stolen from 1MDB with interest, as well as any fees that the bank collected for its work underwriting three separate bond offerings that helped seed the fund. In total, the sum demanded came out to about $7.5 billion.
We know now that senior Goldman bankers, including then-CEO Lloyd Blankfein, signed off on the deals, ignoring warnings from the compliance department about Malaysia's point man for the project, the mysterious financier Jho Low. Which may explain why even the DOJ is now rushing to get this episode in the history books.
Low is now an international fugitive, and at least one Goldman banker has pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government; a settlement could be announced as soon as next month (though the bank also faces charges in Malaysia), although BBG's sources warned that the terms of the deal could change.
It's unclear from the report whether the DoJ will also seek a guilty plea from the bank, which could be a game-changer if it happens.
The notion that the DoJ is going easy on Goldman is hardly a surprise. Attorney General William Barr has reportedly directly involved himself in the case, which is unusual because his former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, represents Goldman, and Barr had to secure a waiver to excuse this conflict.
But this type of special treatment would be nothing new to Goldman: After all, its alumni occupy some of the most powerful jobs in the world. Goldman is the very definition of 'too big to jail'.

Mexico, top U.S. law official Barr had 'good meeting' on cartel threat - president
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he and senior government officials had a "good meeting" with U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Thursday about the threat of Mexican drug cartels.
arr met various senior officials after U.S. President Donald Trump said last week he would designate the drug gangs as terrorist organizations in response to a series of bloody security breaches triggered by cartel gunmen.
"As a lawyer, he understands our constitution obligates us to adhere to the principles of cooperation for development and non-intervention in foreign affairs," Lopez Obrador said of Barr on Twitter. "In this way we will always be able to work together."
He did not provide more details. Tensions over the cartels intensified last month when suspected cartel hitmen massacred three women and six children of U.S.-Mexican origin in northern Mexico.
Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference ahead of the talks that they would focus on bilateral cooperation, and that officials would review a document that would serve as a point of reference. The two sides discussed their security priorities and among other topics, they "talked about cooperation in arms trafficking, money laundering, international drug trafficking and how to deal with transnational crime and international drug trafficking," Mexico's foreign ministry said in a statement. The Mexican officials who met Barr and U.S. Ambassador Christopher Landau included Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, Security Minister Alfonso Durazo and the head of the Navy Jose Rafael Ojeda.
The U.S. State Department said on Wednesday it was working with the Mexican government to identify the "appropriate tools" to help it tackle the threat posed by cartels. Designating groups as terrorist organizations aims to disrupt the finances of suspected members and their supporters via U.S. sanctions such as asset freezes and travel bans.
While it would not directly give the United States authority for military operations in Mexico, many Mexicans are nervous Trump could use it as a pretext for intervention.
Lopez Obrador has attempted to pursue a less confrontational approach to the gangs and has rejected any intervention. He has held out the prospect of cooperation with the United States but says his government has the wherewithal to tackle the problem.

US, Mexico in Meetings to Address Deadly Drug Cartel Threat
The threat of deadly Mexican drug cartels was addressed in Dec. 5 meetings between Mexico's government and U.S. Attorney General William Barr, with a focus on bilateral cooperation, according to Mexico's government.
The meetings come after President Donald Trump said late November that he would designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations for their role in the trafficking of narcotics and people. Trump's comments came in response to a series of bloody security breaches triggered by cartel gunmen.
Barr sat down with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and other senior officials. Lopez Obrador told a regular news conference the bilateral talks would focus on cooperation, and that during the meetings a document will be reviewed that will serve as a point of reference. No further details were provided.
"Mexico is one of our closest partners and we meet regularly on a broad range of issues of mutual concern," a U.S. State Department spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email on Dec. 5. "We do not discuss the contents of diplomatic conversations."
Hugo Rodriguez, deputy assistant secretary of state for Central America, said at a Dec. 4 briefing that the United States will "have to work with [Mexico] to find the tools that are going to be appropriate in the context.
"What we're looking to do is put at the service of the Government of Mexico any and all tools we have at our disposal to cooperate on the shared security challenge that the drug trafficking organizations pose," Rodriguez told reporters.
Rodriguez said efforts to get the cartels designated as foreign terrorists are something the United States has been "looking very closely at."
"I don't think we have any specifics to share at this point," Rodriguez said. "We're also in conversations with the Government of Mexico."
Tensions over the cartels intensified last month after suspected cartel hitmen massacred three women and six children of U.S.-Mexican nationality in northern Mexico.
Trump called the suspected hitman "monsters" and said that the United States is ready to get involved. He said recently that he had been working on getting the designation "for the last 90 days."
"If Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these monsters, the United States stands ready, willing & able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively," Trump said on Twitter. "The great new President of Mexico has made this a big issue, but the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army!"
Designating groups as foreign terrorist organizations enables the United States to disrupt the finances of suspected members and their supporters via U.S. sanctions like asset freezes and travel bans. It would not directly give the United States authority for military operations in Mexico.

Shifty Schiff Obtained Rudy Giuliani's Phone Records A Day After AG Barr and US Attorney Durham Traveled to Rome - What Was He After?
Representative Adam Schiff from California reported earlier this week that he had obtained the phone records of President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. The date of the phone records shows as September 30th. This also happens to be the Monday after the weekend that AG Barr and his US Attorney Durham went to Rome. What was Schiff after?
We discussed AG Barr's and US Attorney John Durham's meetings with Italians earlier this year. Bloomberg had reported:
Italy's spy chief Gennaro Vecchione met twice in August with U.S. Attorney General William Barr and prosecutor John Durham to help an investigation into the scandal involving President Donald Trump's possible ties to Russia, one of Italy's leading newspapers reported.
The first meeting took place on Aug. 15 at the U.S. Embassy in Rome, according to an article published Sunday by La Repubblica newspaper. The second happened on Aug. 27 and involved Vecchione, the head of Italy's Department of Information Security, as well as the chiefs of Italy's internal and external security agencies.
Both meetings were authorized by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, Corriere della Sera reported earlier this week...
...During the first meeting, Barr and Durham asked Vecchione to reveal the whereabouts of Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud, according to La Repubblica...
...According to La Repubblica, Barr and Durham also demanded proof that Italy, led at the time by Matteo Renzi, took part in the international conspiracy to discredit Trump's campaign. In an interview published Sunday by La Stampa, Renzi dismissed the allegation as a "farce" and says he never met Mifsud.
At the Aug. 27 meeting with Barr and Durham, the heads of Italy's security services had nothing to say to support the theory, according to La Repubblica - despite Vecchione's initial promises.
We don't know where the August 27th meeting took place but later Jeff Carlson at the Markets Work reported that AG Barr and US Attorney Durham traveled to Rome on August 15th and September 27th -
John Durham, the U.S. attorney tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016, is expected to seek an interview with former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper following an expansion of his investigation.
It was reportedly the meetings Durham and Attorney General William Barr recently had in Rome-where they obtained new evidence-that were the impetus for the broadening of the scope of the probe.
According to Fox News' Catherine Herridge, her sources told her that Durham is now "very interested to question" Brennan and Clapper.
According to Herridge, the meetings "took place on Aug. 15 and Sept. 27, 2019, in Rome," and that it was during one or both of these trips, that Barr and Durham "gathered new evidence."
Ironically, Representative Adam Schiff reported this past week phone records related to President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani recorded on the Monday after Barr and Durham's trip to Italy, Monday September 30th, 2019.

Q Research General #9494: Nader n Buck goin down! (no homo?) NS Edition
Did Pelosi, Schiff And Nadler Read Federalist No. 65?
While Nancy Pelosi has been 'prayerful' during this impeachment inquiry process, Congressman Adam Schiff, HPSCI Chairman has been touting the Constitution and poor old Congressman Jerry Nadler, Chairman of the House Judiciary remains lost as he was forced to give up control of the impeachment process after the stupid hearing with Corey Lewandowski. Meanwhile...
Nadler, a lawyer himself, has previously railed against impeachment during the Clinton scandal, has invited 3 Constitutional lawyers as witnesses for his first impeachment hearing and the Republicans were only granted 1 witness. Seems Nadler needs several law classes and he and the others meaning Pelosi and Schiff should actually read Federalist No. 66. More on that later.
Nadler has called: Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law professor. His position on impeachment and argument is that President Trump can be impeached even without evidence of a crime. He published an article in The New Yorker in May of 2017 stating his argument which is all the actions of the president are a pattern and can be collectively used in sum as impeachable. Feldman has also called for a Special Counsel to be assigned to investigate Rudy Giuliani and AG William Barr.
Another Nadler witness is Pamela Karlan, a law professor at Stanford. Her concentration including being on the faculty at Stanford is voting rights and political processes. Karlan was on the Obama shortlist to be a Supreme Court Justice while her resume includes being an attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and was a commissioner on the California Fair Political Practices Commission. Outside of being known as snarky, she often quotes poetry in her classes. Karlan was one of the 42 legal scholars that signed a letter before Trump took office urging him to change his views on several issues and was very critical of his rhetoric.
The last Nadler witness is Michael Gerhardt, a law professor at the University of North Carolina. Gerhardt penned an article in the Atlantic stating that impeachment proceedings are fully legitimate. Gerhardt is also a CNN legal analyst and was once the deputy media director for Al Gore's senate campaign. Further, Gerhardt counseled Clinton on judicial selections and was Special Counsel to Senator Patrick Leahy on the nominations to the Supreme Court of Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
The only witness the Republicans were allowed to invite was Democrat and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley. Turley appears to be an okay feller when it comes to Constitutional law. He has provided testimony often on The Hill. He is often the 'go-to' person for being a Constitutional originalist and protector of separation of powers within government. Turley has called out the Democrats several times including over the Russia investigation. In a recent interview, Turley had this summary on the impeachment:
The fact is I think that this is the - well certainly the shortest investigation, it's certainly the thinnest evidentiary record, and it's the narrowest impeachment ever to go to the Senate, if they were to go on this record....did they prove something was contemptible or impeachable? Contemptible is not synonymous with impeachable. The President does set policy. They have three conversations, two of them directly, one with Senator Johnson, one with Ambassador Sondland, where Trump denies a quid pro quo....so you have a conflicted record. And the question is what do you need to remove a sitting president?...
Whether this is intentional or not, it seems designed to fail in the Senate.
Meanwhile back to Federalist No. 65:
Hamilton argued that the Senate was the body to hold the impeachment trial and not the Supreme Court where evidence of misconduct of public men was a violation of public trust, meaning that society is a victim of that violation. That misconduct would contain injuries to society itself. In Federalist No. 66, Hamilton went on to further argue that the impeachment proceedings would seldom fail to agitate the passion of the whole community and divide parties into less friendly factions stating it would become a condition and test of political strengths between warring political tribes.
It is no wonder that President Trump reminds the nation often of his accomplishments as they are hardly injurious to society, in fact just the opposite.

Former Counter-Intel Officer: Durham Needs To Bring Indictments
There is new evidence that U.S. Attorney John Durham is getting to the root of criminal abuses by senior U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials in their conspiracy to undermine the Trump campaign, transition and presidency. Mr. Durham's mandate from Attorney General William Barr – to uncover the seditious plot behind the Trump-Russia hoax, if pursued vigorously, will uncover the single greatest threat to the Constitution since the nation's founding.
Mr. Durham's apparent interest in FBI source Stefan Halper and the contract vehicles available to the Pentagon think tank, the Office of Net Assessments, for whom Halper worked, is an important clue.
Likewise, Mr. Durham's travel to Italy for talks with the Italian government and their intelligence service points to another possible clue concerning the mysterious Maltese academic, Joseph Mifsud.
For the purposes of the manufactured Trump-Russia hoax, one need only remember the associations of Halper with Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page – and Joseph Mifsud with George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy junior advisor – to the Trump campaign.
The intelligence agencies of the federal government are prohibited from targeting American organizations in the United States. Executive Order 12333, Section 2.9 states:
Undisclosed Participation in Organizations Within the United States. No one acting on behalf of agencies within the Intelligence Community may join or otherwise participate in any organization in the United States on behalf of any agency within the Intelligence Community without disclosing his intelligence affiliation to appropriate officials of the organization, except in accordance with procedures established by the head of the agency concerned and approved by the Attorney General. Such participation shall be authorized only if it is essential to achieving lawful purposes as determined by the agency head or designee. No such participation may be undertaken for the purpose of influencing the activity of the organization or its members except in cases where:
(a) The participation is undertaken on behalf of the FBI in the course of a lawful investigation; or
(b) The organization concerned is composed primarily of individuals who are not United States persons and is reasonably believed to be acting on behalf of a foreign power.

Appeals court rejects Trump DOJ request to resume executions
A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Monday denied the Justice Department's efforts to lift a temporary halt on four federal executions.
The department had appealed a trial judge's ruling last month that ordered a stay of the executions while a separate legal challenge to the Trump administration's new lethal injection protocol plays out.
The longest-running of the four lawsuits was filed 16 years ago, and the cases went dormant during the Obama administration amid a shortage of lethal injection drugs.
The first of the four executions was set for December 9. The only other federal death row prisoner with an upcoming execution received a stay from another circuit court.
In July, Attorney General William Barr announced that federal executions would resume with the launch of a new lethal injection protocol that utilizes a single drug, pentobarbital, in lieu of the previous three-drug "cocktail" that was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

Speculation About Upcoming IG Report Grows: Trump says Barr Was Misquoted Regarding Horowitz
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Justice Department Attorney General William Barr was misquoted in a recent news report, suggesting he was at odds with Inspector General Michael Horowitz's much anticipated upcoming report on the FBI's investigation into Russia. It's one of many stories speculating what the Horowitz investigation will reveal on Dec. 9, and whether or not there was malfeasance on the part of FBI officials charged with investigating Trump's campaign.
Trump made the statement to reporters at the NATO meeting in London Tuesday. Monday's story in the Washington Post was at odds with what the President heard and what he has been reading, he said.
The Post reported that Barr conflicted with Horowitz on his finding that the FBI had enough evidence to begin the investigation July 2016, into the Trump campaign. It is considered a major key finding of the report, according to publication.
However, Barr was not quoted in the story. Instead, the paper relied on associates close to Barr for the information so it is uncertain whether or not the Attorney General does disagree with Horowitz.
Trump said Barr was "quoted incorrectly."
"I do believe that because I'm hearing the [inspector general's] report is very powerful," said Trump. "But I'm hearing that by reading lots of different things, not from inside information. It's really from outside information. I think all we have to do is wait."
Justice Department Issues Statement
Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec issued a statement Monday night in response to the story, saying on Twitter that the public will soon have the opportunity to read the report.
"The Inspector General's investigation is a credit to the Department of Justice. His excellent work has uncovered significant information that the American people will soon be able to read for themselves."
"Rather than speculating, people should read the report for themselves next week, watch the Inspector General's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and draw their own conclusions about these important matters," she added.

Impeachment witness list loaded with Trump critics
House Democrats announced a list of four constitutional law experts who will testify at a Dec. 4 public impeachment hearing, and the panel will include pundits who have criticized the Trump administration and defended the impeachment proceedings. It also includes a witness who has criticized the impeachment investigation. The Democrats have summoned Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law School professor, to testify in Wednesday's hearing on the constitutional grounds for impeaching the president. Feldman was among the first people to suggest Trump was trying to bribe Ukrainian government officials into investigating his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. Democrats have adopted the term, which Feldman in September said constitutes an impeachable offense. "What makes Trump's alleged conduct so terrible is not that he froze aid to Ukraine for a policy purpose. What makes Trump's alleged conduct outrageous is the appearance that he was doing it for his own personal benefit," Feldman wrote for Bloomberg Opinion. Feldman has called for a new special counsel to investigate Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, and he also called on Democrats to make the often secretive impeachment proceedings more accessible to the public.
Stanford Law professor Pamela Karlan, a former Obama administration Justice Department official, is also a witness, Democrats announced Monday. Karlan is among 42 legal scholars who signed a letter before Trump took office urging him to change his views on a number of issues and criticizing his rhetoric. "Although we sincerely hope that you will take your constitutional oath seriously, so far you have offered little indication that you will," the letter said. "We feel a responsibility to challenge you in the court of public opinion, and we hope that those directly aggrieved by your administration will challenge you in the courts of law."
A third witness, Michael Gerhardt, is a University of North Carolina law school professor who wrote in the Atlantic that the impeachment proceedings are "fully legitimate." A fourth witness listed by Democrats, but possibly requested by the GOP, is George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley, who has criticized how Democrats have handled the impeachment process.

From an old Chill thread, Fiona Hill apparently had (maybe still has) clearance for Top Secret, NOFORN intel, which is the heaviest of heavy duty shit. NOFORN means no foreign national access allowed. So what's a dual citizen qualify as exactly? Made me wonder even more if there's something to my FISA question.

Looking for some provenance on FISA taps of dual citizens, I found this from June:

Indictment:

The FISA warrant was obtained through an FBI counter-terrorism investigation. In the Trump Era. The guy and his lawyers are saying it's crazy (I guess bc they're playing up the "American" side of his dual citizenship with Lebanon). But Honey Badger Barr don't give a fuck.
>At the center of the fight is a controversial surveillance tool that has drawn scrutiny after agents used it to investigate links between Russia and President Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
>Lawyers for Nassif Sami Daher, 28, want federal prosecutors to divulge the roots of the domestic surveillance investigation and relinquish evidence gathered while surveilling Daher, a self-described gas station employee who also delivers newspapers.
Best Part:
>"I have never heard of a resident of Metropolitan Detroit being investigated through a FISA warrant," said Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "This case raises questions as to what triggered the government's interest in this individual. The government should state the reason they got the warrant since they found no criminal activities related to any sort of terrorism or crime relating to a foreign government.
So if CAIR was blindsided and pissed off…what does that mean?
Back to Missy Fiona…would POTUS, General Flynn et al just randomly hire a known acolyte of Soros, a likely enemy combatant (terrorist) himself? Hell no, and her spiel on "Zion" be damned.
This timeline is most interdasting:
Nov 8: POTUS wins the election.
Nov 11: Fiona writes a cute little Brookings op-ed on Putin, mentions sex tapes on political oppo.
Nov 15: Fiona's on FOX crying to KT McFarland about Muh Russia (wish I could find the vid).
Nov 16/17: POTUS formally hires General Flynn as National Security Adviser, who eventually hires KT, then Fiona.
Nov 17: Admiral Rogers tells POTUS about the FISA fuckery at TT.
Nov 17: POTUS moves transition out of TT to NJ.
Nov 20: Clapper crying about Rogers going to see POTUS on the sly.
Nov 20: The Atlantic publishes a fluffy interview with Fiona crying about Muh Russia again.
Seems like Fiona was out there pushing hard for a job, and the /ourguys/ gave it to her. Why? NSA knew she knew about the Piss Dossier already and FISA-tapped her in the meantime? Maybe she was one of their Golden FISA Geese kek.
But basically I'm thinking that dual citizenship is another way of looking at "FISA goes both ways."

THEY FOUND SOMETHING! After US Attorney Durham Visited Rome Obama's Former CIA Director Brennan's Security Clearance Was Once Again Questioned
After AG Barr and US Attorney John Durham reportedly expanded their investigation into the beginnings of Russia collusion after their trips to Rome in August and September. At the same time, complaints of John Brennan holding a security clearance were back in the news.
Jeff Carlson at TheMarketsWork reported -
John Durham, the U.S. attorney tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016, is expected to seek an interview with former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper following an expansion of his investigation.
It was reportedly the meetings Durham and Attorney General William Barr recently had in Rome-where they obtained new evidence-that were the impetus for the broadening of the scope of the probe.
According to Fox News' Catherine Herridge, her sources told her that Durham is now "very interested to question" Brennan and Clapper.
According to Herridge, the meetings "took place on Aug. 15 and Sept. 27, 2019, in Rome," and that it was during one or both of these trips, that Barr and Durham "gathered new evidence."
The news comes following months of speculation about whether the former top Obama officials would be questioned over their involvement in the investigation and spying on the Trump campaign.
It was recently revealed in a court motion by the lawyer for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, that the Justice Department (DOJ) had obtained two cell phones belonging to Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese Professor who has been cited as playing a key role in the FBI's determination to open its probe into the Trump campaign.
Ironically, at the exact same time calls were made to remove former Obama CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance.
The news of Brennan's security clearance not being revoked came out at the exact same time as Barr and Durham's first visit to Rome.
This leads us to believe that whatever they found is connected to Obama and Brennan's CIA.
For some time, George Papadopoulos has said that those who approached him in London were most likely CIA

Jerry Nadler Gives Trump Friday Deadline; Impeachment to Include Russia Collusion
House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) wrote to President Donald Trump Friday, giving him until Friday, Dec. 6., to answer whether he and his lawyers would participate in the "impeachment inquiry." Nadler's letter quotes the forthcoming report from the House Intelligence Committee, which will be written entirely by Democrats and which will recommend drafting articles of impeachment against the president. The report will state that there was "a months-long effort in which President Trump again sought foreign interference in our elections for his personal and political benefit at the expense of our national interest"; and that the president conducted "an unprecedented campaign of obstruction in an effort to prevent the Committees from obtaining documentary evidence and testimony."
The word "again" suggests that the House Intelligence Committee will not limit its report to allegations that Trump invited Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election, but will also state that Trump sought Russian interference in the 2016 election - even though Special Counsel Robert Mueller found there to be no evidence of such collusion. Nadler added that Trump is being investigated for obstruction of justice, relating to actions described by Mueller in the second volume of his report, though Mueller did not recommend prosecution and Attorney General William Barr rejected obstruction charges against Trump on the merits.
The White House cooperated fully with Mueller and never exerted executive privilege over any witnesses or documents. It has resisted participating in the House "impeachment inquiry," which it regards as illegitimate. Nadler has invited the president and his counsel to call and question witnesses, in accordance with the House resolution authorizing the impeachment inquiry last month - though the president was not allowed to do so in the Intelligence Committee inquiry. However, Nadler and the Democratic majority on the committee can overrule requests for witnesses. In addition, the House Rules Committee warned last month that Nadler would be allowed to limit the president's ability to call witnesses if he does not provide witnesses and documents the committee wants.
Republicans criticized Nadler's letter. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), who participated in the earlier round of closed-door hearings, said that Nadler's letter proved that the president had previously been denied due process rights.

Transhuman Fail: The Fishy Death Of Jeffrey Epstein
An old friend who wrote this article, Cliff Kincaid of America's Survival, Inc., understands the Trilateral Commission and the Deep State. Cliff includes many details and connects many dots in his grand-scheme-of things-style. ? TN Editor
The late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia is what has interested the media. But his own blog, which is still active even after his death, suggests what he and his fellow elites were really interested in. He called it "cutting edge science." It is how the global elites intend to manage our lives. They already claim credit for "rewriting our global culture."
"Jeffrey Epstein is a former member of the Mind, Brain and Behavior Committee at Harvard, the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the New York Academy of Science and a former Rockefeller University Board Member," his website proclaimed. "Mr. Epstein is also an active member of the Edge Organization."
You can't get higher-up than Epstein. This is the crème de la crème of the American establishment. But as Patrick Wood, Editor of Technocracy News & Trends, notes, "He had no visible or logical means of creating wealth, although he spent a fortune on various pet projects."
Wood comments that Epstein was definitely NOT like "the typical member" of the Trilateral Commission (TC) or Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). "He had no compelling outward qualifications as far as I can tell, but if you think about the TC and CFR as being potentially useful for nefarious purposes, then Epstein was the blackmailer and his secret and real profession was sex trafficking and pedophilia," Wood adds, "It has been alleged that every room in his mansions had hidden cameras that filmed everything and everyone, and that the videos taken were stored offsite in a still-undisclosed location. These will never be released because they implicate so many of the global elite."
These are serious concerns, and there is no guilt by association. But Epstein's mysterious death, at this juncture in history, is extremely significant. Attorney General William Barr tells AP that Epstein's "suicide" was the result of "a perfect storm of screw-ups." But in the same way that then-candidate Donald J. Trump had brought up the case of the mysterious death of former Clinton aide Vincent Foster, calling it "fishy," there are too many outstanding questions about the Epstein death. Like Foster, he is a man who knew too much.
Blaming two federal prison guards for his "suicide" cannot be accepted at face value.

OPINION: Bill Barr Needs To Answer For His Role In Ruby Ridge
The Second Amendment community has tried very hard to get members of the Judiciary Committee to persuade attorney general nominee William Barr to renounce his long-standing support for gun control. Opposing his nomination is not a position we relish. But if members of the Senate choose to ignore his record on guns, they should not ignore his role in the Ruby Ridge scandal.
Consider these facts.
Barr was in charge of the Justice Department during Ruby Ridge, and he knew what was going on.
Barr stated, under oath, that his chief gun priority would be the Ruby Ridge-like gun confiscation orders (sugar-coated as "red flag laws").
You may remember that Barr's federal agents descended on Randy Weaver's Idaho compound in August, 1992, and (1) shot weaver in the back; (2) shot Weaver's wife Vicki to death, while she was holding her infant son; (3) shot Weaver's 14 year-old son to death; and (4) shot Weaver's dog.
Courts subsequently largely exonerated Weaver, while excoriating the FBI and the Department of Justice. And, although then-Attorney General William Barr claimed to know nothing about the Ruby Ridge fiasco, a 1995 Washington Post article reported that there were 20 high-level DOJ calls about Weaver in the 24 hours preceding the murder of his wife - and two of them directly involved Barr.
After that, Barr spent huge amounts of pro bono time trying to get exoneration for the FBI sniper who shot Vicki Weaver to death. He pushed for immunity from prosecution, organized letters on his behalf, and framed arguments before the trial and appeals courts.
But long before Ruby Ridge, Barr's hatred for the Second Amendment was clear.

"(Attorney General William) Barr is looking into why Adam Schiff was at Buck's place 16 times," said insider Larry Nichols."
"Just like with the Pedostein case, this is about human trafficking, and who knows what else. Trump has said often "These people are sick" and we are starting to get a sense of how deep and murky the swamp really is."
"Going back to the story, let's skip the fact that Schiff was very close with Buck and not only visited this drug den 17 times, they were constantly together at rallies, parties, social events, political fundraisers, and other events."
"In civil lawsuits, Buck has been named as a human trafficker, rapist, and performing strange and nearly 'ritualistic' acts on homeless men in Los Angeles (mostly black). Does this sound familiar? Spirit cooking anyone?"
"Of course, going with the Democrat 'accuse your enemies of what you are guilty of' strategy, as it turns out Schiff has his own Ukraine military contract that he's been working on for awhile now, with fellow brother of the tribe Igor Pasternak."
"Now that we've examined the facts, let's take a look at one last anomaly and chatter on the dark web. A helicopter crashed with owners of the Standard Hotel where apparently tons of bad things happened, so the witnesses were killed 'in an accident' (these guys know you have to make it look like an accident!)

House Oversight Panel Sues AG Barr, Wilbur Ross Over 2020 Census Documents
The House Oversight and Reform Committee filed a lawsuit against Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross over the Trump administration's moves to add a citizenship question to the Census in 2020.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), the chairwoman of the Oversight Committee, announced the lawsuit on Tuesday and claimed the White House is engaging in "brazen obstruction of Congress."
The lawsuit follows a House vote in July to hold Barr and Ross in contempt of Congress. The two issued a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), calling on her to postpone the vote because the documents and materials that were sought were protected, while the White House said the documents are covered by executive privilege, noted The Hill.
In her statement, Maloney said Ross and Barr have not provided any documents amid the subpoenas.
"Despite the committee's extensive efforts at accommodations, Secretary Ross and Attorney General Barr have refused to provide these critical documents and communications," House Democrats claimed in their court filing on Tuesday.
"The stakes for Congress and the American people could not be higher, nor the consequences of the ongoing injury more profound," Democrats said in the lawsuit. "The 2020 Census will have at least 10 years of direct effect on the composition of the House by determining population counts, as well as on the methodology by which the House determines the apportionment of federal funds to the states. If there is maladministration of the 2020 Census, the effects will be felt for decades, and once complete, the damage to the Census cannot be undone."
Neither the Commerce nor Justice departments have issued a comment following the lawsuit filing.
The Supreme Court in June blocked the Commerce Department from adding the question to the Census.
Following the court's decision, Ross said he disagreed.
"I respect the Supreme Court but strongly disagree with its ruling regarding my decision to reinstate a citizenship question on the 2020 Census," Ross said in a statement, Reuters reported. "The Census Bureau has started the process of printing the decennial questionnaires without the question. My focus, and that of the bureau and the entire department, is to conduct a complete and accurate Census," he said.
Following the ruling, President Trump wrote that he would consider delaying the Census so the question could be added.
Trump wrote at the time: "I have asked the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice to do whatever is necessary to bring this most vital of questions, and this very important case, to a successful conclusion. USA! USA! USA!"
The upcoming Census begins in January 2020 in Alaska and later across the country in April 2020.

FISA alterations Could Pose Significant Trouble For FBI: Fruit Of The Poisonous Tree
KEY POINTS:
FBI officials concerned that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith's tampered and altered documents to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Warrant will put into question all the evidence gathered to obtain the warrant.
Horowitz referred Clinesmith to DOJ Prosecutor John Durham appointed by Attorney General William Barr for further investigation.
Other FBI officials will be wrapped up into Clinesmith's warrant tampering. Who approved the warrants?
Criminal Defense Attorney David Schoen says FBI failed to make immediate correction of any materially false statement or any material omission. "Clearly no such correcting submission was made here."
FBI Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith led the interview on George Papadopolous in February, 2017.
Clinesmith was anti-Trump and removed from the Russia investigation.
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's anticipated report will reveal that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Application warrant was tampered with but the significance of that cannot be understated. It means that Horowitz's discovery will discredit the bureau's handling of its investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election and it could make any information discovered during the course of seeking approval for the FISA and after 'fruit of the poisonous tree," according to numerous sources who spoke to SaraACarter.com.
"Based on what we know, Clinesmith's tampering of documents appears to have been significant enough to have played a role in the FISA courts decision to grant a warrant to spy on an American, maybe more than one American," said a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. "There is concern among the FBI that all the evidence will come into question, as it should - particularly the case of the 'fruit of the poisonous tree' that the evidence itself is tainted - if that's true than anything gained from that evidence might also be tainted. This could be a problem for anyone who approved the FISA as well."
What we now know is that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, allegedly altered an email that FBI officials used to prepare to seek court approval to renew the wiretaps on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, as first reported by the New York Times and verified by SaraACarter.com. The extent of the alterations in the FISA application is still unknown but it was significant enough for Horowitz to refer Clinesmith to Connecticut Federal Prosecutor John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the FBI's handling of the probe. Durham's probe has also expanded to the CIA, of which he has interviewed numerous officers and the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment, which paid FBI confidential informant Stephan Halper to collect information on several Trump campaign advisors, as first reported by this new site.
The DOJ obtained three FISA renewal orders on Page. According to the NYT "the paperwork associated with the renewal applications contained information that should have been left out, and vice versa, the people briefed on the draft report said."
That's a serious problem, stated the U.S. official. Why? Because Clinesmith's alterations in the documents played a role in the ability for the FBI to continue to wiretap Page throughout the renewal process.
David Schoen, a criminal defense attorney, told SaraACarter.com that the FISA process requires absolute scrutiny as the defendant, the person targeted by the warrant, is not represented by anyone due to the extraordinary secrecy of the process.
Schoen noted, if an "agent falsifies, materially alters with false information, or makes a material omission in documents relied on to authorize surveillance - and here it was to authorize the most intrusive kind of surveillance by the most secretive court in the land - then any further step in the process and any material obtained by surveillance from the point of his illegal conduct forward is arguably poisoned by the initial illegal materially false alteration or material omission."

Q Research General #9413: The Salt Rotation and The Trip Update Edition
DOJ watchdog expected to say FBI erred, but absolve top leaders of anti-Trump bias: report
A Justice Department watchdog is expected to strongly criticize FBI officials for being careless in their pursuit of obtaining wiretaps on a former Trump campaign aide during the start of the Russia probe, but not find they were acting with a bias toward President Trump, The New York Times reported Friday afternoon.
But the highly anticipated report from the Department of Justice inspector general (IG) is also expected to say top agency leaders did not act with a bias toward against President Trump in terms of how they undertook the probe.
In particular, the DOJ IG, Michael Horowitz, faulted Kevin Clinesmith, a lower-level lawyer, for altering an email that bureau officials then incorporated in their effort to renew a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant on Carter Page.
The DOJ watchdog has referred his findings about Clinesmith, who resigned two months ago, to prosecutors for a potential criminal charge, the Times reported.
Horowitz also reportedly found omissions and errors in documents seeking the wiretap for Page, who had served previously on the Trump campaign and was suspected of working as an unregistered foreign agent in 2016.
And while the Times reports that Horowitz will sharply rebuke the top brass at the FBI over their handling of the counterintelligence probe - which was examining whether members of the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia- his investigation did not find that anti-Trump bias among senior leaders like former FBI director James Comey, deputy director Andrew McCabe, and former counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok influenced the investigation.
While the report, set to be publicly released Dec. 9, appears to confirm long-held GOP allegations that officials did not follow the proper protocols in obtaining the Page FISA warrant, the report also disputes their allegations that individuals like Comey, McCabe and Strzok acted on biases towards the president.
Horowitz's report also debunks claims that the so-called Steele dossier compiled by the former British spy Christopher Steele was used by officials to launch the investigation, as well as allegations that some of the information came from the CIA officials.
Democrats and Republicans are likely to seize on different parts of the report, particularly at a time when House Democrats' impeachment inquiry is looming over the Trump administration.
The FBI obtained a FISA warrant on Page in October of 2016 and renewed the wiretap three subsequent times.
And during one of those renewal processes, Clinesmith is said to have altered an email from an official working at another federal agency by adding his own personal assertion to a message laying out several factual assertions, allowing his view point to appear as if was the author of the email rather than his own, the Times reports.
This manipulated email was then added into a group of documents Clinesmith compiled for another FBI official to read ahead of them signing an affidavit that is given to the surveillance court, which attests under the penalty of perjury that the information in the wiretap application is both "true and correct."
Clinesmith, who worked on both the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server and the Russia probe, was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team after Horowitz discovered text messages sent from officials that disparaged Trump.
Horowitz's referral has reportedly been sent to Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was assigned by Attorney General William Barr to probe the origins of the Russia investigation. The referral suggests that Durham's inquiry could turn into a criminal investigation.

Attorney General William Barr Concludes What Happened To Clinton Buddy Jeffrey Epstein
Jeffrey Epsteinwas found dead in his cell not long after he was mysteriously taken off suicide watch, despite a recent attempt to take his own life this past summer. The guards watching him were rent-a-cop level, they falsified prison logs, and had fallen asleep on the job. Shrieks were heard near his cell the day he died. All of this is sketch city and for once, the conspiracy theory crowd was not dismissed. Epstein had ties to some of the most powerful and wealthiest people on the planet, including the Clintons. His private island was reportedly wired for sound; can you say blackmail tapes? And the search warrant executed for his New York residence yielded troves of incriminating evidence to back up the not-so-new allegations that he was a child predator. He was indicted for trafficking underage girls and other sex crimes. He escaped justice in early 2000s thanks to a sweetheart deal he cut with then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, a piece of history that was resurrected by the Miami Herald which reported on Epstein's plea deal which showcased what money and connections can afford you when you get into trouble. This legal arrangement cost Acosta his job as Trump's labor secretary.
The death of Epstein while in federal custody was another low point for the DOJ. Barr was outraged, leading him to order a full review with Inspector General Michael Horowitz joining the effort. Initially, two guards were suspended, and the warden was reassigned. Now, two guards have been arrested (via NPR):
Two correctional officers who were assigned to guard Jeffrey Epstein on the night he died in his cell have been indicted for allegedly ignoring more than 75 mandatory checks on the wealthy financier then fabricating records to cover it up.
Federal authorities charged Michael Thomas and Tova Noel with multiple counts of falsifying records and conspiracy. The two worked as guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a federal facility in Manhattan that is mostly used for defendants awaiting trial.
At a court appearance on Tuesday, Thomas and Noel pleaded not guilty and a judge released each of them on a $100,000 bond.
The indictment provides the first official account of what happened in the hours before Epstein's death.
According to video surveillance footage obtained by prosecutors, Epstein was in his cell unobserved for eight hours before he was found dead. The unit he was in requires that all inmates be accounted for twice an hour.
There were conflicting medical analyses as well. One saying that Epstein had killed himself, another that cast doubton that conclusion due to the wounds around his neck. The latter autopsy was conducted by Epstein's brother who noted the neck injuries were more consistent with homicide than suicide. I mean all of this was just too good to be true. The man potentially had dirt on oodles of people; Epstein also had ties to the British Royal Family. Yet, Attorney General Barr now says that the events that occurred prior to Epstein's death were a disaster, but that the child predator committed suicide (via NYT):
Attorney General William P. Barr said in an interview published on Friday that the death of Jeffrey Epstein, the financier accused of sex trafficking, in a secure federal prison resulted from "a perfect storm of screw-ups," rather than any nefarious act.
Mr. Barr's statement refuted suggestions from members of Mr. Epstein's family that he may have been murdered. His remarks came the same week that two prison guards were criminally charged, accused in an indictment of failing to check on Mr. Epstein every half-hour as they were required to and then lying about it on prison logs.
"I can understand people who immediately - whose minds went to sort of the worst-case scenario, because it was a perfect storm of screw-ups," Mr. Barr said in an interview with The Associated Press as he flew to Montana on Thursday night.
Mr. Epstein's death in August at a federal detention center in Manhattan set off a rash of unfounded conspiracy theories on social media that were picked up and repeated by high-profile figures, including Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. No matter their ideology, the refrain of the theories was the same: Something did not add up.

Q Research General #9395: Data on Dayton FF rollin in!Edition
Trump To Address Nation Monday Over Mass Shootings, Says More Gun Control May Be Needed
In the wake of multiple mass shootings over the weekend, President Trump told reporters in Morristown Airport before departing for the White House on Sunday that "hate has no place in our country and we're going to take care of it."
As The Hill reports, Congressional Democrats, 2020 presidential candidates and others have rushed to draw comparisons between the motives of the El Paso shooter and Trump's immigration rhetoric and suggested he helped fuel the environment that led to the attack.
Notably even Trump nemesis Jim Comey admitted in his latest op-ed (albeit in the 20th paragraph) that:
"according to a 'manifesto' widely attributed to him, the Texas terrorist who killed at least 20 people in El Paso on Saturday wasn't directly motivated by Donald Trump. But he is a horrific example of what can happen when the control rods are lifted."
But, the president ignored shouted questions about whether the El Paso shooter's anti-immigrant manifesto shared similarities with his rhetoric and said the shootings are part of "a mental illness problem."
The president then added that he had spoken to Attorney General William Barr, FBI Director Christopher Wray, the Ohio and Texas governors as well as members of Congress.
"We have to get it stopped," he said.
"This has been going on for years, for years and years in our country."
He added that "perhaps" more needs to be done with respect to gun control.
President Trump: "I want to extend our condolences to the people of El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, they're incredible people and they've been through a lot."
"Hate has no place in our country" pic.twitter.com/8Qy0B2CdYS

Trump added that he will deliver a formal statement on Monday at 10 a.m. Monday at the White House.

On Saturday, a gunman entered an El Paso, Texas Walmart, killing 20 people and wounding 26 others. Less than 24 hours later, at least nine people were killed and 26 more injured when 24-year-old Connor Betts of Bellbrook Ohio used a .223 caliber rifle to open fire at a crowd on East 5th street in the city's popular downtown Oregon district.

Q Research General #9394: FF Fading Editio
Mass shooting events follow pattern of "FBI terror plots" documented by the New York Times... agents recruit social media extremists to frame as scapegoats for engineered violence
The mass shooting events that have rocked America over the past two days follow the pattern of "FBI terror plots" documented by the New York Times and the Kansas City Star (see sources, below) as being created and carried out by FBI agents. These two shootings were initiated in the hours following the bombshell revelation that the FBI conspired with Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration to destroy Clinton's email hard drives as a means to eliminate any evidence of Hillary Clinton's prosecutable crimes.
Former FBI director James Comey is now known to have run multiple criminal schemes to illegally frame Trump administration officials while clearing Obama-era officials as part of a treasonous deep state plot to overthrow the United States of America, defeat President Trump and frame Trump supporters as domestic terrorists.
It now appears abundantly obvious that the FBI is the most prolific terrorist organization in America, and this fact has been confirmed by the New York Times. Under the treasonous command of Barack Obama and James Comey, the FBI was radicalized and weaponized into a treasonous crime syndicate that routinely plotted and carried out acts of terrorism against the United States of America, all while covering up the damning evidence of criminality and treason that should have sent Hillary Clinton to prison.
The FBI is running a massive, coordinated psyop on America. The goal is to demonize all Trump supporters, paint illegals aliens as victims and enraged the mind-controlled Left to the point of a mass armed insurrection led by Antifa terrorists (i.e. civil war). The deep state knows it is about to be exposed by Trump, Durham and William Barr, so it is running every "Hail Mary" operation imaginable to try to control the minds of the masses and depict Trump supporters as enemies of civil society.
Watch my video here, which reveals the crucial facts you need to know. And see screen shots of the cited sources, below:

Q Research General #9394: FF Fading Editio
On July 23, in a keynote address at the International Conference on Cyber Security at Fordham University, US Attorney General William Barr took up a banner that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation have been waving for over a decade: the call for what former FBI director James Comey had referred to as a "golden key."
Citing the threat posed by violent criminals using encryption to hide their activities from law enforcement, Barr said that information security "should not come at the expense of making us more vulnerable in the real world." He claimed that this is what is happening today.

Q Research General #9367: Ghostly Kitchen E-ish bake Edition
It is important for everyone to re-read comments from Barr back in May when he was interviewed by a CBS reporter.
Attorney General William Barr said in an interview that he doesn't think Obama-era Department of Justice officials overseeing the Russia investigation committed treason "as a legal matter," but he does have concerns about how they conducted the probe.
"Sometimes people can convince themselves that what they're doing is in the higher interest and better good, They don't realize that what they're doing is really antithetical to the democratic system that we have."
This sounds to me like we are going to get a whole bunch of, they didn't do anything illegal but their methods and actions were not in line with department policy. Just look at the evidence so far - McCabe, Wolfe and now Comey. Decline to prosecute! NADA!
So wrist slaps, retirements, new departmental policies and more training WITHOUT ANY indictments is how this will NEVER HAPPEN again and end IMO.
The IG report on FISA should be coming out in a couple of weeks and IMO if indictments don't follow shortly thereafter then it's clear to me at that point, Barr is a black hat.

Feds gone wild: DOJ's stunning inability to prosecute its own bad actors
BY JOHN SOLOMON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 06/13/19 01:15 PM EDT
One was caught red-handed engaged in nepotism. Another, a lawyer no less, admitted to shoplifting at a Marine Barracks store. A third leaked sealed court information to the news media. And a fourth engaged in fraud by turning a government garage into a personal repair shop.
Four cases, all solved in the past month, with suspects who cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and significant breaches of public trust.
But these weren't your everyday perps.
All were U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) employees who are supposed to catch other criminals while working for the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. attorneys' offices. Instead, they broke the law or violated the rules. And all managed to escape prosecution, despite their proven transgressions.
Recent Justice Department disciplinary files tell an undeniable story.
Under the leadership of Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz, DOJ's internal watchdog is doing an outstanding job of policing bad conduct inside America's premier law enforcement agency.
And DOJ is doing a poor job of punishing its own.
In cases closed in the past month, more than a half-dozen FBI, DEA, U.S. attorney and U.S. marshal officials were allowed to retire, do volunteer work, or keep their jobs as they escaped criminal charges that everyday Americans probably would not.
In most instances, the decisions were made by federal prosecutors who work with the very figures impacted by or committing the bad conduct. In local law enforcement, that go-easy phenomenon is known as the "thin blue line."
Spokespersons for the Justice Department and FBI did not respond to a request for comment.
The troubling pattern of weak punishment emerges as DOJ heads into one of its most ambitious internal affairs probes in recent history. Attorney General William Barr, Horowitz and special U.S. Attorney John Durham are investigating whether the FBI and other intelligence agencies violated the law with the Trump-Russia investigation.
Even before the recent spate of closed inspector general investigations, questions surfaced about DOJ's willingness to punish its own. That's because fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was recommended for prosecution more than 15 months ago for lying about news leaks, and so far has faced no criminal charges.
To put that into perspective, it took special counsel Robert Mueller just a few months to bring charges against multiple figures associated with President Trump's campaign accused of lying or other process crimes.
It's still possible that McCabe could face prosecution. But the recent spate of fresh wrongdoing inside DOJ doesn't portray a compelling pattern of enforcement or punishment.
Take, for example, the DEA executive who just this week was found to have engaged in nepotism by routing hundreds of thousands of dollars to contractor jobs for his son and retired colleagues or friends.
Horowitz spared few words for the egregious scheme. "The senior DEA official wasted and misused hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds and engaged in misconduct when he took actions to get his son and former colleagues contractor positions and that his actions constituted misconduct in violation of federal ethics regulations, the DEA Standards of Conduct, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation," he reported this week.

Trump's Message to U.S. Intelligence Officials: Be Loyal or Leave
This past Wednesday, during Robert Mueller's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Representative John Ratcliffe, a Republican from Texas who was previously a federal prosecutor, accused the former special counsel of illegally smearing President Trump. Ratcliffe demanded to know why Mueller had stated in Volume II of his report-which investigated whether the President had obstructed justice-that, "while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." His voice rising, Ratcliffe said that the sentence "was not authorized under the law to be written" and violated a "bedrock principle of our justice system." He urged Americans to ignore the "Democrats and socialists on the other side of the aisle" who cited it. Fact checkers found Ratcliffe's claims to be false, but he ended his appearance with a dramatic flourish. "I agree with the chairman this morning when he said Donald Trump is not above the law. He's not," Ratcliffe said, his voice rising. "But he damn sure shouldn't be below the law, which is where Volume II of this report puts him."
In a Sunday-morning interview on Fox News, Ratcliffe again demonstrated his support for the President, declaring that "it was a great week for Donald Trump." The congressman claimed that Mueller did "not have a command" of what was in the report, which, he said, had been written by "Hillary Clinton's de-facto legal team." He said that Trump deserved a presumption of innocence, then added, "What I do know, as a former federal prosecutor, is that it does appear that there were crimes committed during the Obama Administration." Ratcliffe then praised an unprecedented review that Attorney General William Barr is conducting of the work of the F.B.I. and key intelligence agencies in the launch of the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation, saying, "Bill Barr has earned my trust already and the trust of the American people."
Six hours later, Trump nominated Ratcliffe to be the most powerful intelligence official in the country, replacing Dan Coats, who is stepping down as the director of National Intelligence. Sources told the Times that Trump enjoyed watching Ratcliffe aggressively question Mueller, but denied that this was the reason the Texas congressman got the job. The Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, disagreed, issuing a statement that said, "It's clear that Rep. Ratcliffe was selected because he exhibited blind loyalty to President Trump with his demagogic questioning of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller."

Q Research General #9353: The Final Countdown? Edition
DOJ To Release Bruce Ohr Documents 'Imminently'
The Justice Department will release FBI documents early next week that are related to Bruce Ohr, the Justice Department official who met with dossier author Christopher Steele. In a court filing submitted last Thursday, Justice Department lawyers said the agency will provide FBI notes of interviews conducted with Ohr to Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group that sued for the records last year.
Justice Department lawyers said the agency had initially determined that the Ohr transcripts, known as 302s, should be withheld in full. But "after further review in conjunction with DOJ's preparation of its motion for summary judgment, DOJ has decided to release the requested records in part to Plaintiff," the lawyers said. "DOJ will make this release to Plaintiff by August 5, 2019." It is not clear what documents will be released and which might be withheld. Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton announced Thursday night that the documents would be released "imminently."
Judicial Watch sued on Sept. 10 for a dozen 302s the FBI compiled between Nov. 22, 2016, and May 15, 2017. FBI agents interviewed Ohr after meetings and conversations with Steele, a former British spy who investigated the Trump campaign on behalf of the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee. FBI investigators had tasked Ohr to serve as an unofficial backchannel to Steele as part of the bureau's investigation of the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia. The FBI cut ties with Steele on Nov. 1, 2016, after learning that he had unauthorized contacts with the media about his work as an FBI informant. Steele and Fusion GPS, the firm that hired him, provided information from the dossier to numerous reporters during the 2016 campaign.
Congressional Republicans had pushed President Trump to declassify and release the Ohr 302s along with other documents related to the Russia probe. Trump said for months that he would declassify the documents, but on May 23, he outsourced declassification authority to Attorney General William Barr. Republicans have hinted that the 302s contain information that could undercut Steele's credibility, as well as the dossier's. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is investigating whether the FBI misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court in applications for spy warrants on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The bureau relied heavily on Steele's reporting to obtain the wiretaps.
Ohr, whose wife worked as a contractor for Fusion GPS, has told Congress that Steele said to him during one meeting that he was desperate to see Trump lose the 2016 election. Republicans say that the FBI did not disclose that fact in applications to wiretap Page. The FBI also did not disclose that the Clinton campaign and DNC had funded Steele's dossier. Ohr and Steele had known each other for years before the began meeting to discuss the Trump investigation. They first met on that topic on July 30, 2016, in Washington, D.C. After the meeting, Ohr briefed then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe about Steele's work.
Steele met on Aug. 22, 2016, with Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS. Republican investigators have wondered why Steele and Simpson passed information to Ohr, when Steele already had a contact at the FBI. Steele gave some of his early dossier memos to FBI agent Michael Gaeta during a meeting in Rome on July 5, 2016.

Q Research General #9350: Friday morning Ebake Edition
Did U.S. Attorney General Barr Just Trade James Comey's "Memogate" for "Spygate"?
Awakened Americans realize the nation's system of justice now remains at a crossroads. Either the Deep State cabal including the likes Comey, Clapper, Brennon, McCabe, Clinton, Strozk, Page, Ohr, and others will continue on their book tours and talk show circuits - or they will face prosecution at the whim of U.S. Attorney General William Barr; as the country now awaits reports from Inspector General Michael Horowitz on FISA Abuse and corruption in the Department of Justice; U.S. Attorney John Huber on Clinton Foundation illegalities; and U.S. Attorney John Durham on the origins of Russiagate.
This, even as previous members of Team Trump, such as Manafort, Flynn, Papadopoulos, and others remain either incarcerated or with devastated lives for mere process crimes - and at the vagaries of the criminal cabal; even as the Mueller hearing revealed more of the Deep State's men, including U.S. agent Joseph Mifsud, had lied under oath to the special counsel and, yet, still remain free today.
Who has the power?
Initially, it appeared the question was recently answered again as former FBI Director James Comey was, seemingly, arbitrarily absolved by Attorney General Barr for what this blogger references as "Memogate":
....DOJ Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz referred Comey for possible prosecution under laws governing the handling of classified information, however Attorney General William Barr has declined to prosecute - as the DOJ does not believe they have enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law.
It means the memos illegally leaked by Comey will not be prosecuted because the former FBI Director didn't mean any harm. It also means, ironically, that Barr absolved Comey via the exact type of mind-reading Comey used to illicitly exonerate Hillary prior to the 2016 Presidential Election.
Is this just more evidence of the Deep State's refusal to prosecute itself?
Maybe. Maybe not.
The New York Times first reported on the Comey memos in a May 16, 2017 article. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel the very next day on May 17, 2017.
Do you believe in coincidences?
However, in Rosenstein's order to appoint Mueller as special counsel, he cited Comey's March 20, 2017 confirmation of Russiagate before the House Intelligence Committee.
Nevertheless, SPYGATE (via FISA Abuse) gave permission (i.e. cover) for the Russia Investigation (Russiagate) that allowed Comey's (and other's named heretofore) misdeeds (at least) and treason (at most).
In other words, all of the rats could hide behind their criminal acts by saying they honestly believed they were acting on behalf of national security - even as they lied to the President of the United States. To be sure, their defense would be similar to:
"Hey, intelligence claimed Trump might have been a Russian mole and we were just doing our jobs".
Therefore, the apparent acquittal of Comey for "Memogate" now appears to add credence to Barr's longer play of cornering the rats where they can least likely wriggle free. Or, more clearly stated: It is better to prosecute the Cabal, including Comey, on Spygate and FISA abuse anyway.
Are we watching the swamp about to be drained? Or a television show with that particular plotline?
Time reveals everything and we can know them by their actions.

Reports: James Comey Is Torched In The Department Of Justice's IG Report On Obama-Era FISA Abuses
Former FBI Director James Comey may have escaped charges for leaking classified information to the public, but that doesn't mean he won't be torched by the pending inspector general report from the Department of Justice. It once again shoots a hole right through the Democrats' ongoing Trump impeachment narrative that is rapidly falling apart. Russian collusion was outright killed by the report filed by ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller, as it debunked the already unverified Trump dossier compiled by ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele. Fusion GPS hired him. And they were contracted by the Hillary Clinton campaign to get dirt of Trump. This document is the epicenter of the Trump-Russia collusion myth. Still, this report tried very hard to prove Russian collusion, but there is simply zero evidence to prove it. Period.
The flip side is the so-called obstruction of justice that occurred, with Comey's firing in2017 being a major date in the minds of liberals. Despite repeated examples that Comey was fired for cause, the Left continues to push this impeachment nonsense. Where things get dicey for liberals is how the Obama DOJ used the Steele dossier to reportedly secure a FISA spy warrant against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. John Solomon at The Hill has more:
Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz's team referred Comey for possible prosecution under the classified information protection laws, but Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors working for Attorney General William Barr reportedly have decided to decline prosecution - a decision that's likely to upset Comey's conservative critics.
Prosecutors found the IG's findings compelling but decided not to bring charges because they did not believe they had enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law, according to multiple sources.
Although a technical violation, the DOJ did not want to "make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins and look petty and vindictive," a source told me, explaining the DOJ's rationale.
But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham. Those investigations are focused on the origins of the Russia investigation that included a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign at the end of the 2016 election, the source said.
The lack of prosecution is certain to demoralize some conservatives, who long have called for Comey's head. But the IG report, set to be released within the next few weeks, likely will provide significant condemnations of Comey's conduct, sources tell me.

Reports: James Comey Is Torched In The Department Of Justice's IG Report On Obama-Era FISA Abuses
Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz's team referred Comey for possible prosecution under the classified information protection laws, but Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors working for Attorney General William Barr reportedly have decided to decline prosecution - a decision that's likely to upset Comey's conservative critics.
Prosecutors found the IG's findings compelling but decided not to bring charges because they did not believe they had enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law, according to multiple sources.
Although a technical violation, the DOJ did not want to "make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins and look petty and vindictive," a source told me, explaining the DOJ's rationale.
But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham.

The lack of prosecution is certain to demoralize some conservatives, who long have called for Comey's head. But the IG report, set to be released within the next few weeks, likely will provide significant condemnations of Comey's conduct, sources tell me.
While they cautioned that the IG's final report won't be complete until it gets feedback from Comey's lawyers in the next few days, it is expected to conclude that the former FBI director improperly took with him memos that were FBI property when he was fired, transmitted classified information via an insecure email account, and shared some of the memos with his private lawyers. Some of the Comey memos were classified up to the "secret" level, but the FBI has not disclosed whether those were shared with his lawyers like the classified confidential memo was.
The IG concluded in prior investigations that Comey's firing was not driven by Trump's fears about the Russia investigation ruining his presidency but, rather, by DOJ concerns about Comey's performance in the Hillary Clinton email probe. Horowitz concluded that Comey wrongly "usurped" the authority of the attorney general when, on July 5, 2016, he announced he would not seek criminal charges against Clinton for transmitting classified information - some of it top secret - on her insecure private email server.
That IG report also chided Comey for criticizing Clinton's email practices as reckless without filing charges and for improperly announcing the reopening of the email probe in late October 2016, just a few weeks before Election Day when Clinton and Trump were locked in a tight race.
Ironically, Comey's decision not to charge Clinton for violating the Espionage Act for mishandling classified information on her email server mirrors the same rationale that Barr's DOJ applied in declining prosecution of him: a lack of evidence of intent.

None Dare Call It Treason: President Trump Must Fight Fire With Fire And Hold The 'Coup D'Etat' Leaders Responsible For Their Crimes Against America
- With Others Watching, Justice Against The Coup Plotters Is Absolutely Necessary For Reasons Of National Security.
"Attorney General William Barr should aggressively investigate, indict, and imprison leaders of the attempted coup d'etat who served and are serving in the FBI, DOJ, Intelligence Community, and Democratic Party."
"Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why, if treason doth prosper. None dare call it treason." -Sir John Harrington (1561-1612)
"Conservatives should not be applauding the Mueller Report for finding no collusion with Russia by President Trump during his election campaign or after. The Mueller investigation itself was never legitimate. It was part of a conspiracy by the Obama administration, the Democratic Party, and their minions in the FBI and Justice Department against Mr. Trump, his allies, voters, and the Constitution. Any intelligent person, not wholly blinded by fanatical anti-Trump partisanship, should have understood all along that the Mueller investigation, a stacked deck, staffed with highly partisan activist Democratic lawyers, was biased and bogus."
"Any intelligent person, not rendered insane by anti-Trump hatred, should have understood all along that vociferous accusations by Democrats and the liberal mainstream media that President Trump colluded with Russia to win election - that President Trump is a traitor - was and is utter nonsense. Indeed, these false accusations against President Trump, that seek to delegitimize his administration and cancel the ballots cast by Trump voters, is the real act of treason."
http://allnewspipeline.com/None_Dare_Call_It_Treason_Dr_Pry.php
(INTELLIHUB) - President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that whoever was involved in the fabrication of the Russian collusion hoax should stand trial for treason and said that precedence needs to be set for future offenders.
The 72-year-old commander-in-chief made clear on a telephone interview that former FBI agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page had wanted an "insurance policy" months before the Robert Mueller investigation began "just in case Hillary Clinton lost."
"...what we were playing out until just recently was the insurance policy," Trump said. "They wanted to do a subversion - it was treason."
https://www.intellihub.com/donald-trump-considers-charging-fabricators-of-russian-collusion-hoax-with-treason/
"The facts of what really happened via the dark Deep State underbelly of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax are (finally) leaking out a bit these days as more and more voters come to realize that what really happened was a shocking attempted coup of a duly elected President of the United States by deeply entrenched powers from within the U.S. government."
Via PJ Media:
"Trump Was Not Just Spied Upon But Entrapped
It's bad enough, as has been evident for some time, that Donald Trump and his campaign were being spied upon by our own government, but it's highly likely they were also subject to literal entrapment-at least a serious attempt was made.
I don't mean the entrapment of promulgating the salacious Steele dossier both to the public and the FISA court as if it were the truth. That was more of a smear to justify a phony investigation. I mean something more subtle and LeCarré-like coming from the depths of our intelligence communities. It raises once more the question of the power of such agencies in a free society, a conundrum with no easy answers but of great significance to our lives."

Booker, Other Senate Dems Introduce Bill to Ban the Death Penalty
Democratic senators have introduced a bill to ban the death penalty about a week after the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that federal executions would be resumed following a nearly two-decade hiatus.
Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who are all members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced in a statement on July 31 that their proposed legislation would prevent the federal government from using capital punishment.
The bill is co-sponsored by other Democratic senators including 2020 presidential candidates Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Meanwhile, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) introduced companion legislation in the House last week.
The Senate bill is in response to the department's move to resume federal capital punishment, which was ordered by Attorney General William Barr on July 25. The attorney general also directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to schedule the executions of five death-row inmates convicted murdering children and the elderly, according to the statement.
"Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding," Barr said in the statement. "The Justice Department upholds the rule of law-and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system."
The DOJ's announcement follows the conclusion of an Obama-era review of lethal injections, which effectively placed a freeze on the death penalty since the start of the review in 2014.
Durbin said in the statement that he was concerned by "the revelations we have had over the last few decades that led to dozens of exonerations of innocent prisoners who had languished for years on death row, awaiting execution for crimes they didn't commit."
Meanwhile, Leahy said in the statement that the death penalty is "is too final and too prone to error. It fails as a deterrent. It is racially biased. And it is beneath us as a nation."
"Last week I again sat down with my longtime friend, Kirk Bloodsworth. Kirk was in prison for eight years, including two on death row, before DNA evidence exonerated him. The DNA testing program named in his honor has exonerated 50 more. The death penalty fails by any objective measure," the Vermont senator said.

DOJ and FBI Show No Signs of Correcting Past Untruths in Their New Attacks on Encryption
Last week, Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray chose to spend some of their time giving speeches demonizing encryption and calling for the creation of backdoors to allow the government access to encrypted data. You should not spend any of your time listening to them.
Don't be mistaken; the threat to encryption remains high. Australia and the United Kingdom already have laws in place that can enable those governments to undermine encryption, while other countries may follow. And it's definitely dangerous when senior U.S. law enforcement officials talk about encryption the way Barr and Wray did.
The reason to ignore these speeches is that DOJ and FBI have not proven themselves credible on this issue. Instead, they have a long track record of exaggeration and even false statements in support of their position. That should be a bar to convincing anyone-especially Congress-that government backdoors are a good idea.
Barr expressed confidence in the tech sector's "ingenuity" to design a backdoor for law enforcement that will stand up to any unauthorized access, paying no mind to the broad technical and academic consensus in the field that this risk is unavoidable. As the prominent cryptographer and Johns Hopkins University computer science professor Matt Green pointed out on Twitter, the Attorney General made sweeping, impossible-to-support claims that digital security would be largely unaffected by introducing new backdoors. Although Barr paid the barest lip service to the benefits of encryption-two sentences in a 4,000 word speech-he ignored numerous ways encryption protects us all, including preserving not just digital but physical security for the most vulnerable users.
For all of Barr and Wray's insistence that encryption poses a challenge to law enforcement, you might expect that that would be the one area where they'd have hard facts and statistics to back up their claims, but you'd be wrong. Both officials asserted it's a massive problem, but they largely relied on impossible-to-fact-check stories and counterfactuals. If the problem is truly as big as they say, why can't they provide more evidence? One answer is that prior attempts at proof just haven't held up.

Comey Avoids DOJ Prosecution On Memo Leak; FISA Abuse Still On The Table
Former FBI Director James Comey will avoid prosecution after illegally leaking personal memos in the hopes of instigating the special counsel's investigation into the 2016 US election, as reported yesterday by The Hill's John Solomon and confirmed today by Fox News.
According to Solomon, DOJ Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz referred Comey for possible prosecution under laws governing the handling of classified information, however Attorney General William Barr has declined to prosecute - as the DOJ does not believe they have enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law.
"Everyone at the DOJ involved in the decision said it wasn't a close call," an official told Fox News. "They all thought this could not be prosecuted."
That said, it's important to note that this decision was the result of a 'carve-out' investigation separate of the IG probe on FISA abuse.
The Conservative Treehouse lays out the situation:
This is NOT the Inspector General Michael Horowitz report on DOJ and FBI FISA abuse.
This is a carve-out.
…
From the outset it was reported and confirmed that U.S. Attorney John Huber was assigned to assist Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Huber's job was to stand-by in case the IG carved out a particular concern, discovered during his investigation, that might involve criminal conduct.
Earlier this week Matt Whitaker said: "John Huber is reviewing anything related to Comey's memos and the like."
Put the two data points together and what you realize is that during the OIG review of potential DOJ and FBI FISA abuse... IG Horowitz investigated the Comey Memo's and then passed that specific issue along to John Huber for DOJ review.
The IG criminal referral for the James Comey memo leaking was a carve-out sent to U.S. Attorney John Huber.
…
This is not the inspector general report on DOJ and FBI FISA abuse. This is an IG report carved out of the larger investigation. -Conservative Treehouse
In short, we will first see an IG report just covering Comey, with a more comprehensive report to follow on FISA abuse.

Top Democrat: 'Disqualifying' if Trump intel pick padded his résumé
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said it would be "clearly disqualifying" if it turns out that President Trump's nominee to serve as the Director of National Intelligence, Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas), overstated his biography.
Warner, the committee's top Democrat, pledged that the panel "will thoroughly vet any nominee, if he's actually put forward." The comments come days after Trump said he would nominate Ratcliffe to the top intelligence post, an announcement met by instant controversy, with lawmakers questioning his experience for the position.
"I want to give Mr. Ratcliffe to explain himself - but for an individual that's got less actual intelligence experience than anyone that's been put forward for any senior position in the intelligence community, that this guy has even had to take that very thin résumé and pad it, that would be clearly disqualifying," Warner told reporters.
Separately, Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), a senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said he would "pull out all the stops" to block Ratcliffe's confirmation, which requires a simple-majority vote.
"I will pull out all the stops to make sure someone like this who will do so much damage to the credibility of the American intelligence community, at a critical time for our country, I'm going to do everything I can to stop this nomination," he said.
Ratcliffe's announced nomination was immediately met with questions on Capitol Hill about whether he has enough experience to oversee the nation's intelligence agencies as outgoing Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats's successor.
Warner on Thursday said Ratcliffe's performance raised serious questions about the Trump picks' impartiality and compared him to Attorney General William Barr, whom Democrats have accused of mischaracterizing the findings of Mueller's report.
"When we need to make sure the head of our national intelligence is willing to speak truth to power, Mr. Ratcliffe's performance at least in the Mueller hearing was more like a Bill Barr, the attorney general's performance, where they seem more loyal to Trump than loyal to the notion of truth and [the] independence of the intelligence community," Warner said.

Fox News host Sean Hannity said his sources are telling him Attorney General William Barr has been far more active in his so-called "investigation of the investigators" than publicly known.
In the spring, Barr initiated a review of the origins of the Russia investigation and conduct of the Justice Department, FBI, and intelligence community, and he tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead that effort.
Hannity touted the "big news" during his evening show Wednesday.
"As I talk to my sources, what they are telling me tonight is that the attorney general has taken all of it seriously, since he's taken this job 15 steps further along than anybody knew," Hannity said, adding that this was the case for "FISA in particular."

Barr and 'Five Eyes' pledge unity on 'emerging threats' - but questions on Huawei and ISIS remain
The so-called "Five Eyes" nations agreed on a lot coming out of their security summit in London this week, but didn't end up with concrete plans for two major challenges: the security threat posed by Chinese tech firm Huawei, and the stalemate over how to deal with thousands of foreign-born Islamic State fighters held in Syria.
The five English-speaking member nations that comprise the intelligence-sharing alliance agreed on "emerging threats" including child exploitation, web encryption, extremist recruitment online, and terrorism. They agreed the exploitation of children online must be addressed more effectively, that violent extremists must not be allowed to exploit the internet, that tech firm encryption designed to keep law enforcement out could threaten public safety, and that they must remain vigilant against ISIS.
And the countries committed to combating foreign election interference, ensuring drones aren't misused, improving information sharing, and cooperating on cyber threats.
"The Five Eyes partnership is vital. Throughout this week, we have had substantive, frank, and positive discussions surrounding our shared duty to protect public safety," said Attorney General William Barr, who represented the United States in the summit with officials from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
But comprehensive solutions for dealing with ISIS and Huawei appeared elusive.
The alliance pledged to deal with ISIS detainees, noting the collapse of the caliphate and recognizing that "some of its members continue to pose a threat both in the region and more widely, whilst others are detained and best efforts must be made to bring them to justice." There were some specifics: capacity building through the United Nations and the Counter Terrorism Forum; information sharing through Interpol and other databases to assist with terrorist identification; and the promotion of Battlefield Evidence best practices for investigations and cases.
But these efforts did not specifically address what to do with the thousands of foreign born ISIS fighters held in Iraq and Syria. Earlier this year, President Trump tweeted that the U.S. was asking countries like the U.K. to "to take back over 800 ISIS fighters that we captured in Syria and put them on trial."

The Justice Department's chief watchdog is preparing a damning report on James Comey's conduct in his final days as FBI director that likely will conclude he leaked classified information and showed a lack of candor after his own agency began looking into his feud with President Trump over the Russia probe.
Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz's team referred Comey for possible prosecution under the classified information protection laws, but Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors working for Attorney General William Barr reportedly have decided to decline prosecution - a decision that's likely to upset Comey's conservative critics.
Prosecutors found the IG's findings compelling but decided not to bring charges because they did not believe they had enough evidence of Comey's intent to violate the law, according to multiple sources.
The concerns stem from the fact that one memo that Comey leaked to a friend specifically to be published by the media - as he admitted in congressional testimony - contained information classified at the lowest level of "confidential," and that classification was made by the FBI after Comey had transmitted the information, the sources said.
Although a technical violation, the DOJ did not want to "make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins and look petty and vindictive," a source told me, explaining the DOJ's rationale.
But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham. Those investigations are focused on the origins of the Russia investigation that included a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign at the end of the 2016 election, the source said.
"There are significant issues emerging with how the FISA was handled and other conduct in the investigation, and everyone involved remains under scrutiny," a second source said.
Patrick Fitzgerald and Daniel Richman, two of Comey's lawyers, and Keith Urbahn, his spokesman, did not return repeated calls and emails seeking comment.
The lack of prosecution is certain to demoralize some conservatives, who long have called for Comey's head. But the IG report, set to be released within the next few weeks, likely will provide significant condemnations of Comey's conduct, sources tell me.

Yeah and?
>The Justice Department declined to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey following a criminal referral from the agency's independent watchdog, which concluded that Comey had leaked classified information and showed a lack of candor with investigators.
Small weak case at best. Better to save him for the bigger case:
Although the DOJ declined to prosecute in this case, Comey, who has become a vocal critic of the president since his ouster, is not yet in the clear.
Comey is also a possible target of Horowitz's separate investigation into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse. He signed three of the four FISA applications targeting former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page before being fired by Trump. Horowitz's report is expected to be released after Labor Day.
It is also likely that Comey's actions as FBI director will be scrutinized during the "investigation of the investigators," a review of the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, being led by Attorney General William Barr and the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, John Durham.

A Monday ruling by Attorney General William Barr that limited the ability of migrants to seek asylum in the United States is the latest example of the Trump administration's use of a unique power of the attorney general's office to reshape immigration law.
Barr used a process called "certification" to issue a decision Monday that closes the door on most asylum-seekers who fear persecution due to family ties, overturning years of precedent.

Q Research General #9318: Take A Look At Elijah C Edition
Nunes: FBI/CIA's Actions Against Trump Campaign Overseas Must Be Investigated
The top Republican with the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Devin Nunes told SaraACarter.com there is insurmountable evidence of the FBI's malfeasance regarding the bureau's probe into President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, but what must be investigated is the FBI's actions overseas into the campaign.
Those questions will also naturally involve the CIA and any relationship the clandestine agency had with the bureau during the Russia probe, Nunes said.
What has been revealed during the course of nearly three years of investigations by the Intelligence Committee and others, is that the FBI had informants spying on the campaign. The most damning information was that the FBI had specifically targeted volunteers with the Trump campaign: Carter Page, George Papadopolous, as well as others who traveled outside the United States. Once they were overseas, the FBI had continuing operations and received information from informants to build an investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia.
The details of what actually took place and when the investigation by the bureau actually began, however, remain murky. Nunes said there needs to be a thorough investigation into the role of the FBI and CIA regarding the Trump probe.
"There are so many unanswered questions about what happened in Cambridge, where numerous people were making strange unexplained attempts to contact Trump associates," Nunes told SaraACarter.com. "We already know the FBI committed a lot of abuses in this investigation, and we want to discover whether more were being committed overseas."
Nunes is referring to the University of Cambridge in London, 'Cambridge Intelligence Seminar,' where employees made successful attempts in contacting members with the Trump campaign in 2016, including Carter and Papadopolous.
The CIA And FBI
Nunes also spoke with Maria Bartiromo Sunday on Fox News saying that former CIA Director John Brennan still needs to answer questions. He said it's important for DOJ investigators to know whether it was the FBI or CIA, or both, that lined up confidential sources to contact the Trump campaign.
"Well, as you know, we have jurisdiction over both FBI and CIA and what they do overseas," Nunes told Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. "We have lots of information about FBI people going overseas and doing things, we don't really have any information from CIA."
"So far, they've really come clean. I would say the only one who has questions to answer is John Brennan, because we now know that John Brennan briefed Harry Reid on the dossier in August 2016. At the same time he never briefed me or Paul Ryan who was the speaker of the House at the time."
Nunes has also been pushing for the public release of currently declassified documents turned over by President Trump to the DOJ's Attorney General William Barr. Those documents are expected to reveal details of the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign. In particular information regarding Page and Papadopolous, which sources say will expose that the FBI withheld exculpatory information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

Q Research General #9316: Because He Knows What's Going To Happen Edition
DOJ and FBI Show No Signs of Correcting Past Untruths in Their New Attacks on Encryption
Last week, Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray chose to spend some of their time giving speeches demonizing encryption and calling for the creation of backdoors to allow the government access to encrypted data. You should not spend any of your time listening to them.
Don't be mistaken; the threat to encryption remains high. Australia and the United Kingdom already have laws in place that can enable those governments to undermine encryption, while other countries may follow. And it's definitely dangerous when senior U.S. law enforcement officials talk about encryption the way Barr and Wray did.
The reason to ignore these speeches is that DOJ and FBI have not proven themselves credible on this issue. Instead, they have a long track record of exaggeration and even false statements in support of their position. That should be a bar to convincing anyone-especially Congress-that government backdoors are a good idea.
Barr expressed confidence in the tech sector's "ingenuity" to design a backdoor for law enforcement that will stand up to any unauthorized access, paying no mind to the broad technical and academic consensus in the field that this risk is unavoidable. As the prominent cryptographer and Johns Hopkins University computer science professor Matt Green pointed out on Twitter, the Attorney General made sweeping, impossible-to-support claims that digital security would be largely unaffected by introducing new backdoors. Although Barr paid the barest lip service to the benefits of encryption-two sentences in a 4,000 word speech-he ignored numerous ways encryption protects us all, including preserving not just digital but physical security for the most vulnerable users.
For all of Barr and Wray's insistence that encryption poses a challenge to law enforcement, you might expect that that would be the one area where they'd have hard facts and statistics to back up their claims, but you'd be wrong. Both officials asserted it's a massive problem, but they largely relied on impossible-to-fact-check stories and counterfactuals. If the problem is truly as big as they say, why can't they provide more evidence? One answer is that prior attempts at proof just haven't held up.
Some prime examples of the government's false claims about encryption arose out of the 2016 legal confrontation between Apple and the FBI following the San Bernardino attack. Then-FBI Director James Comey and others portrayed the encryption on Apple devices as an unbreakable lock that stood in the way of public safety and national security. In court and in Congress, these officials said they had no means of accessing an encrypted iPhone short of compelling Apple to reengineer its operating system to bypass key security features. But a later special inquiry by the DOJ Office of the Inspector General revealed that technical divisions within the FBI were already working with an outside vendor to unlock the phone even as the government pursued its legal battle with Apple. In other words, Comey's statements to Congress and the press about the case-as well as sworn court declarations by other FBI officials-were untrue at the time they were made.
Wray, Comey's successor as FBI Director, has also engaged in considerable overstatement about law enforcement's troubles with encryption. In congressional testimony and public speeches, Wray repeatedly pointed to almost 8,000 encrypted phones that he said were inaccessible to the FBI in 2017 alone. Last year, the Washington Post reported that this number was inflated due to a "programming error." EFF filed a Freedom of Information Act request, seeking to understand the true nature of the hindrance encryption posed in these cases, but the government refused to produce any records.
But in their speeches last week, neither Barr nor Wray acknowledged the government's failure of candor during the Apple case or its aftermath. They didn't mention the case at all. Instead, they ask us to turn the page and trust anew. You should refuse. Let's hope Congress does too.

Secret McCabe Texts With MI-5 Counterpart Emerge, Spotlighting UK's Early Role In 'Russiagate'
Newly surfaced text messages between Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and his counterpart at MI-5, the UK's domestic security service, have cast new light on Britain's role in the FBI's 2016 'Russiagate' investigation, according to The Guardian.
Two of the most senior intelligence officials in the US and UK privately shared concerns about "our strange situation" as the FBI launched its 2016 investigation into whether Donald Trump's campaign was colluding with Russia, the Guardian has learned.
Text messages between Andrew McCabe, the deputy director of the FBI at the time, and Jeremy Fleming, his then counterpart at MI5, now the head of GCHQ, also reveal their mutual surprise at the result of the EU referendum, which some US officials regarded as a "wake-up call", according to a person familiar with the matter. -The Guardian
McCabe and Flemming's texts were "infrequent and cryptic," but "occurred with some regularity" after the June 2016 Brexit referendum.
In his text message about the August 2016 meeting, Fleming appeared to be making a reference to Peter Strzok, a senior FBI official who travelled to London that month to meet the Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. Downer had agreed to speak with the FBI about a Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, who had told him that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee in the race. -The Guardian
In 2017, The Guardian reported that Britain's spy agencies had played a key role in alerting their American counterparts of communications between members of the Trump campaign and "suspected Russian agents," which was passed along to the US in what was characterized as a "routine exchange of information."
UK begged Trump not to declassify
In May, President Trump issued a sweeping declassification order on materials related to the DOJ/FBI Russia investigation - leaving it in the hands of Attorney General William Barr to determine exactly what happened to Trump and his campaign before and after the 2016 US election.
"For over a year, people have asked me to declassify. What I've done is declassified everything," said Trump, adding "He can look and I hope he looks at the UK and I hope he looks at Australia and I hope he looks at Ukraine."
"It's the greatest hoax probably in the history of our country and somebody has to get to the bottom of it. We'll see. For a long period of time, they wanted me to declassify and I did."

Critics question 'Five Eyes' push to expand spies' telecoms access
LONDON (Reuters) - Former government officials and privacy campaigners are questioning demands by "Five Eyes" security ministers that high-tech communications systems should remain accessible to spies and official investigators.
A meeting in London of security and law enforcement officials from the Five Eyes group expressed concern this week that high-tech companies were moving to "deliberately design their systems in a way that precludes any form of access to content, even in cases of the most serious crimes."
The group comprises the U.S, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
They said that tech companies, "should include mechanisms in the design of their encrypted products and services, whereby governments, acting with appropriate legal authority, can obtain access to data in a readable and usable format."
Priti Patel, Britain's new interior minister, said that Five Eyes governments were united that tech firms should not develop their systems and services, including end-to-end encryption, "in ways that empower criminals or put vulnerable people at risk."
Ben Wizner, an expert in national security law with the American Civil Liberties Union, said that the anti-encryption push by security officials, including William Barr, President Donald Trump's Attorney General, who attended the London meeting, in part appear to be directed at Apple, which clashed with the FBI over efforts to decrypt the mobile phone of a mass shooter in California in 2015.
Wizner said that any access mechanism that tech companies were required to put into encrypted systems would give U.S. and allied authorities access to private message traffic and that foreign governments and spy agencies, such as Russia's SVR or FSB, would have legitimate cause to insist that they be allowed to use the same access mechanisms.
A former senior European security official said the Five Eyes language regarding the need for government access in telecoms systems was "very general" at best.
The former official noted that one proposal floated recently by some British officials would not leave open a "back door" for official surveillance in encrypted systems but rather would provide for a wiretap equivalent by tapping a device at one end of the conversation after the message had been decrypted.
"It doesn't mean weakening encryption, just going around it," the ex-official said of this proposal. But this plan has been sharply attacked by the tech industry.

Britain hosts 'Five Eyes' security alliance ministers for cyber talks
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-fiveeyes/britain-hosts-five-eyes-security-alliance-ministers-for-cyber-talks-idUSKCN1UO1DG
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain hosted a meeting of senior security ministers from the U.S.-led 'Five Eyes' intelligence alliance on Monday for talks on tackling cyber threats ranging from political hacking to child pornography.
British interior minister Priti Patel, appointed last week by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, hosted the ministerial meeting to focus on emerging threats and how to deal with the "opportunities and risks" posed by new technologies.
Patel said in a statement that specific topics included cyber security, encryption and "online harms".
"The UK is a global leader on national security and child protection and we are committed to working with our close partners on shared challenges," Patel said.
According to Patel, at some point governmental participants will attend an industry roundtable to discuss "countering online child sexual exploitation and abuse" which will include discussions with Facebook, Google and Microsoft.
Last year, representatives of social media companies declined government invitations to participate in the same annual conference.
Facebook said it would attend the meeting this week. Google and Microsoft did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Security ministers from the Five Eyes alliance - Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - will attend the conference sessions on Monday and Tuesday.
The Five Eyes alliance evolved from a secret World War Two alliance between British and U.S. cypher and code breaking teams.
On Wednesday, top law enforcement officials from the Five Eyes countries, including U.S. Attorney General William Barr and his top national security enforcer, John Demers, will attend a related London meeting.
Recently Barr sparked controversy by suggesting that spy agencies may need new powers to monitor social media activity.

He was…. but, who knows?
Why was Barr chosen, given his shocking and deeply criminal cover-up kingpin background?
For a presidential administration whose mandate was the eradication of corruption, the "draining of the swamp", and the restoration of law?
With the nomination of William Barr for attorney general, that is what President Donald Trump wants American citizens and the world to accept.
Fawning mainstream media coverage, and streams of puff pieces laud Barr as a "respected" establishment "legal scholar", as do Donald Trump's Twitter posts about Barr.
The fact is, there is nothing to "respect" and everything to condemn about Barr's work as a key inner circle operative throughout George Herbert Walker Bush's rise to power, from CIA Director to Vice President to President. These aspects of Barr's resume remain whitewashed by mainstream coverage. They have been amply documented by whistleblowers and those who worked directly with Barr.
The issue at hand is not Barr's "legal mind", but the ruthless mind that he wielded with frightening authority and expertise as George H. W. Bush's treasonous hatchet man in the Justice Department. William Barr distorted and corrupted the law, as grossly as anyone in modern history.
Barr: CIA operative
It is a sobering fact that American presidents (many of whom have been corrupt) have gone out of their way to hire fixers to be their attorney generals.
Consider recent history: Loretta Lynch (2015-2017), Eric Holder (2009-2015), Michael Mukasey (2007-2009), Alberto Gonzales (2005-2007), John Ashcroft (2001-2005),Janet Reno (1993-2001), Dick Thornburgh (1988-1991), Ed Meese (1985-1988), etc.
Barr, however, is a particularly spectacular and sordid case. As George H.W. Bush's most notorious insider, and as the AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr wreaked havoc, flaunted the rule of law, and proved himself to be one of the CIA/Deep State's greatest and most ruthless champions and protectors:
Barr was a full-time CIA operative, recruited by Langley out of high school, starting in 1971. Barr's youth career goal was to head the CIA.
CIA operative assigned to the China directorate, where he became close to powerful CIA operative George H.W. Bush, whose accomplishments already included the CIA/Cuba Bay of Pigs, Asia CIA operations (Vietnam War, Golden Triangle narcotics), Nixon foreign policy (Henry Kissinger), and the Watergate operation.
When George H.W. Bush became CIA Director in 1976, Barr joined the CIA's "legal office" and Bush's inner circle, and worked alongside Bush's longtime CIA enforcers Theodore "Ted" Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, and others, several of whom were likely involved with the Bay of Pigs/John F. Kennedy assassination, and numerous southeast Asian operations, from the Phoenix Program to Golden Triangle narco-trafficking.
Barr stonewalled and destroyed the Church Committee investigations into CIA abuses.
Barr stonewalled and stopped inquiries in the CIA bombing assassination of Chilean opposition leader Orlando Letelier.
Barr joined George H.W. Bush's legal/intelligence team during Bush's vice presidency (under President Ronald Reagan) Rose from assistant attorney general to Chief Legal Counsel to attorney general (1991) during the Bush 41 presidency.
Barr was a key player in the Iran-Contra operation, if not the most important member of the apparatus, simultaneously managing the operation while also "fixing" the legal end, ensuring that all of the operatives could do their jobs without fear of exposure or arrest.
In his attorney general confirmation, Barr vowed to "attack criminal organizations", drug smugglers and money launderers. It was all hot air: as AG, Barr would preserve, protect, cover up, and nurture the apparatus that he helped create, and use Justice Department power to escape punishment.
Barr stonewalled and stopped investigations into all Bush/Clinton and CIA crimes, including BCCI and BNL CIA drug banking, the theft of Inslaw/PROMIS software, and all crimes of state committed by Bush.
Barr provided legal cover for Bush's illegal foreign policy and war crimes.
Barr left Washington, and went through the "rotating door" to the corporate world, where he took on numerous directorships and counsel positions for major companies. In 2007 and again from 2017, Barr was counsel for politically-connected international law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Among its other notable attorneys and alumni are Kenneth Starr, John Bolton, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and numerous Trump administration attorneys. K&E's clients include sex trafficker/pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.
A strong case can be made that William Barr was as powerful and important a figure in the Bush apparatus as any other, besides Poppy Bush himself.

Trump recently did remove a Navy Officer as his Secretary of Defense and installed an Army Officer Mark Esper, could the Navy no longer be trusted?
JULY 8TH - Epstein is arrested, Read our previous Article on the real purpose of the Epstein operation, being illegal Nuclear Arms Trade; covered up as the media will only discuss pedo.

JULY 15TH - Department of Homeland Security announces they will install Nuclear Detectors at Ports and Border Crossings, this comes out of Los Angeles, Q has been saying, keep an eye on the Port of Long Beach.
JULY 23RD - We learned that the Army Helicopters were suddenly operating over the skies of Washington DC as part of a Classified Domestic Blackhawk Mission, to protect the president from ISIS Snipers. The helicopters were launched to take the high ground from potential snipers on building tops; and you can bet that those buildings are continually being monitored now.
JULY 25TH - Twenty-Three navy seals, a platoon is sent home, we are told they were drunk in Iraq; but leaks claim they were smuggling ISIS snipers into the USA through our southern border.

JULY 28TH - Dan Coates is forced to step down as Director of National Intelligence, connected to the assasination attempt maybe? Trump had already pulled the security clearance of John Brennen. All seems like treachery from within.
JULY 31ST - Tommorrow Wednesday, it appears that with all these threats against the President, they have been moved up the timeline to July instead of August. We should see DECLASS WEDNESDAY for some documents; and shortly after that the arrest of Comey and Brennen, maybe others, dare we see Clinton-Bush-Obama arrests in our lifetime?
Across the USA there are over 100,000 sealed indictments, the normal number is around 10,000. We could receive a whitehouse txt alert and mass arrests. Strap on your seat belt, could be a wild ride.

Q Research General #9295: Blue Sky, Red Cross, Yellow? Corn, White Flag (DNC vs Trump) Edition
The top Republican with the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Devin Nunes told SaraACarter.com there is insurmountable evidence of the FBI's malfeasance regarding the bureau's probe into President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, but what must be investigated is the FBI's actions overseas into the campaign.
Those questions will also naturally involve the CIA and any relationship the clandestine agency had with the bureau during the Russia probe, Nunes said.
What has been revealed during the course of nearly three years of investigations by the Intelligence Committee and others, is that the FBI had informants spying on the campaign. The most damning information was that the FBI had specifically targeted volunteers with the Trump campaign: Carter Page, George Papadopolous, as well as others who traveled outside the United States. Once they were overseas, the FBI had continuing operations and received information from informants to build an investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia.
The details of what actually took place and when the investigation by the bureau actually began, however, remain murky. Nunes said there needs to be a thorough investigation into the role of the FBI and CIA regarding the Trump probe.
"There are so many unanswered questions about what happened in Cambridge, where numerous people were making strange unexplained attempts to contact Trump associates," Nunes told SaraACarter.com. "We already know the FBI committed a lot of abuses in this investigation, and we want to discover whether more were being committed overseas."
Nunes is referring to the University of Cambridge in London, 'Cambridge Intelligence Seminar,' where employees made successful attempts in contacting members with the Trump campaign in 2016, including Carter and Papadopolous.
The CIA And FBI
Nunes also spoke with Maria Bartiromo Sunday on Fox News saying that former CIA Director John Brennan still needs to answer questions. He said it's important for DOJ investigators to know whether it was the FBI or CIA, or both, that lined up confidential sources to contact the Trump campaign.
"Well, as you know, we have jurisdiction over both FBI and CIA and what they do overseas," Nunes told Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. "We have lots of information about FBI people going overseas and doing things, we don't really have any information from CIA."
"So far, they've really come clean. I would say the only one who has questions to answer is John Brennan, because we now know that John Brennan briefed Harry Reid on the dossier in August 2016. At the same time he never briefed me or Paul Ryan who was the speaker of the House at the time."
Nunes has also been pushing for the public release of currently declassified documents turned over by President Trump to the DOJ's Attorney General William Barr. Those documents are expected to reveal details of the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign. In particular information regarding Page and Papadopolous, which sources say will expose that the FBI withheld exculpatory information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
According to several sources some of those documents could come as early as this week or next. But Barr has received fierce pushback from some in the intelligence community, including Brennan. After Trump ordered the intelligence community to cooperate with Barr the New York Times reported that if Barr declassifies the documents he would reveal one of the agencies most trusted assets in Russia.
According to the New York Times the asset is "close to [Vladimir] Putin" and someone who gave the CIA "information about [Putin's] involvement" in U.S. election interference.
However, according to sources that spoke with SaraACarter.com, who have knowledge of the documents, Barr would not reveal any information that would harm U.S. national security.

Mark Meadows bypasses FBI to appeal for release of info linked to FISA abuse report
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., is getting impatient with the FBI in his effort to root out misconduct in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation and went over Director Christopher Wray's head to try and move things along.
In the balance, the GOP investigator said in a letter to top Justice Department officials last week, is the American public's ability to fully understand DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's upcoming report on alleged surveillance abuses.
In the letter addressed to Attorney General William Barr and Horowitz, Meadows pushed for the unredacted release of five pages related to British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who compiled an unverified dossier on President Trump's ties to Russia that was used by the bureau to obtain the authority to spy on a member of his campaign, Carter Page.
Meadows cited a Freedom of Information Act legal battle over the disclosure of documents from Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec that followed her meeting with Steele on Oct. 11, 2016, 10 days before the first Page warrant application was submitted. Notes taken from that meeting by Kavalec, obtained and released by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation, cast doubt on Steele's reliability. Kavalec wrote that during that meeting Steele admitted he was encouraged by his client, which was the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, to get his research out before the November 2016 election, signaling a possible political motivation. Kavalec's notes also show she believed some of Steele's allegations were false.

Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum
None Dare Call It Treason: President Trump Must Fight Fire With Fire And Hold The 'Coup D'Etat' Leaders Responsible For Their Crimes Against America
- With Others Watching, Justice Against The Coup Plotters Is Absolutely Necessary For Reasons Of National Security.
"Attorney General William Barr should aggressively investigate, indict, and imprison leaders of the attempted coup d'etat who served and are serving in the FBI, DOJ, Intelligence Community, and Democratic Party."
"Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why, if treason doth prosper. None dare call it treason." -Sir John Harrington (1561-1612)
"Conservatives should not be applauding the Mueller Report for finding no collusion with Russia by President Trump during his election campaign or after. The Mueller investigation itself was never legitimate. It was part of a conspiracy by the Obama administration, the Democratic Party, and their minions in the FBI and Justice Department against Mr. Trump, his allies, voters, and the Constitution. Any intelligent person, not wholly blinded by fanatical anti-Trump partisanship, should have understood all along that the Mueller investigation, a stacked deck, staffed with highly partisan activist Democratic lawyers, was biased and bogus."
"Any intelligent person, not rendered insane by anti-Trump hatred, should have understood all along that vociferous accusations by Democrats and the liberal mainstream media that President Trump colluded with Russia to win election - that President Trump is a traitor - was and is utter nonsense. Indeed, these false accusations against President Trump, that seek to delegitimize his administration and cancel the ballots cast by Trump voters, is the real act of treason."
http://allnewspipeline.com/None_Dare_Call_It_Treason_Dr_Pry.php
(INTELLIHUB) - President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that whoever was involved in the fabrication of the Russian collusion hoax should stand trial for treason and said that precedence needs to be set for future offenders.
The 72-year-old commander-in-chief made clear on a telephone interview that former FBI agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page had wanted an "insurance policy" months before the Robert Mueller investigation began "just in case Hillary Clinton lost."
"...what we were playing out until just recently was the insurance policy," Trump said. "They wanted to do a subversion - it was treason."
https://www.intellihub.com/donald-trump-considers-charging-fabricators-of-russian-collusion-hoax-with-treason/
"The facts of what really happened via the dark Deep State underbelly of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax are (finally) leaking out a bit these days as more and more voters come to realize that what really happened was a shocking attempted coup of a duly elected President of the United States by deeply entrenched powers from within the U.S. government."
Via PJ Media:
"Trump Was Not Just Spied Upon But Entrapped
It's bad enough, as has been evident for some time, that Donald Trump and his campaign were being spied upon by our own government, but it's highly likely they were also subject to literal entrapment-at least a serious attempt was made.
I don't mean the entrapment of promulgating the salacious Steele dossier both to the public and the FISA court as if it were the truth. That was more of a smear to justify a phony investigation. I mean something more subtle and LeCarré-like coming from the depths of our intelligence communities. It raises once more the question of the power of such agencies in a free society, a conundrum with no easy answers but of great significance to our lives."

FBI Braces for Durham's First Intel Drop; 'No One Is Safe'
The cartel members of the FBI who tried to illegally unseat a president of the United States are bracing for what is shaping up as a disastrous week, according to many Feds.
And there is definite unrest inside the Bureau which includes director Christopher Wray who was reportedly in the process of making "drastic changes" with high-ranking FBI personnel, federal law enforcement officials confirmed - whether warranted or not.
"It's knee-jerk week," one FBI insider said. "One of those deals where you don't know if your ass is on the line next for challenging top leadership or something they may have cooked up to try to get you to leave the building."
The overall feeling among many top-level spooks? No one is safe. Especially those who have openly challenged the corrupt culture in the Bureau.
The cause of the panic could have something to do with declassified documents that are slated to drop this week, a byproduct of U.S Attorney John Durham's probe into the FBI and DOJ. Durham was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the role of top government officials' spying on Donald Trump and his campaign.
Look for the fireworks to begin on Wednesday, some insiders have predicted.
Meanwhile, insiders say the FBI is increasingly in shambles.

Q Research General #9268: The More You Know Edition
Rep. John Ratcliffe loves Fox's Mueller conspiracy theories. Trump wants him to oversee U.S. intelligence.
Melissa Joskow / Media Matters
Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX), President Donald Trump's newly announced pick to be the next director of National Intelligence overseeing the 17 U.S. intelligence services, doesn't have much experience in intelligence. Previous occupants of the position have had long careers serving in the U.S. Senate, military, foreign service, or intelligence agencies. By contrast, Ratcliffe, a former U.S. attorney and small town mayor, is a third-term congressman who joined the House Intelligence Committee a scant six months ago.
What Ratcliffe really brings to the table is a willingness to protect Trump from the implications of former special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election by parroting the fantasies of the president's most ardent Fox News defenders.
A few days after interviewing for the job, the congressman benefited from the opportunity to "essentially audition for the president" during Mueller's Wednesday hearings, The New York Times reported. If those hearings were Ratcliffe's audition, then callbacks came Thursday when he used an interview on Fox & Friends, one of the president's favorite programs, to play the network's anti-Mueller hits to the audience of one.
On Fox, Ratcliffe claimed that the Mueller report was written by "a bunch of lawyers that didn't like Donald Trump." He suggested that the way "Russia really did interfere" with the election was with a "fake dossier" provided to Democrats. And he accused former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey of violating the Espionage Act, adding that the Justice Department probe that Attorney General William Barr has ordered could provide "accountability."
"The big winner yesterday," he added at one point, "was Donald Trump, because impeachment is dead.
Trump is trying to replace someone who refused to operate in his personal interest with someone who will. Outgoing National Intelligence Director Dan Coats lost the president's favor by loudly defending the U.S. intelligence service's conclusion that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election to benefit Trump, and he has sounded the alarm that the Kremlin will target the 2020 elections as well. Ratcliffe, meanwhile, has adopted Fox host Sean Hannity's moronic position that the "real collusion" during the 2016 election was between Russia and the Democrats.
Such a personnel shift can have profound consequences. Trump forced out former Attorney General Jeff Sessions because Sessions was unwilling to use the Justice Department to defend the president and punish his enemies. His replacement, Barr, had publicly indicated that he was willing to do so; as attorney general, Barr opened the investigation into the inception of the Mueller probe that Fox hosts had demanded.
Trump wants a National Intelligence director who will similarly parrot Fox conspiracy theories and use the office to the president's benefit. In Ratcliffe, he believes he's found his man.

Russia Probe Twist: The FBI, A Convicted Russian Agent, & A Billionaire American CEO
If what you already know about the FBI's investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia has you wondering what can come next, "make sure you are sitting down because it's about to get worse," said Patrick Byrne, the philanthropist and CEO of the mega online retail chain Overstock.com.
Byrne revealed never published details about his intimate relationship with the Russian gun right's activist and libertarian, Maria Butina, who is now serving out her sentence after pleading guilty in 2018 to working as a foreign agent in the U.S. without registering.
In an interview several weeks ago, Byrne recounted first meeting Butina at Freedom Fest 2015. He described the relationship that developed between the two and revealed that he had initiated contact in July, 2015 with the FBI after his first meeting with Butina. He also disclosed that he met twice with Justice Department attorneys in April, 2019 giving a total of seven hours of interviews on the separate occasions. A source directly familiar with the interviews, confirmed those meetings took place.
Butina's lawyer, Robert Driscoll, also confirmed the relationship between Byrne and Butina. Driscoll stated that he also had relayed the information to the FBI and prosecutors earlier during his trial, and asked repeatedly about any Brady material -exculpatory information - that the bureau may have collected from Byrne on Butina, to no avail. The bureau denied it had any information regarding Byrne and Butina's relationship, said Driscoll.
On Thursday, Driscoll sent a letter to United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation; Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is conducting an investigation into the bureau's origins of the Trump probe and Corey Amundson, with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility.

William Barr delivered the keynote address at the International Conference on Cyber Security Tuesday.
The message follows previous clashes between law enforcement and tech companies that have previously refused to help officials crack encrypted messages during investigations.
In a keynote address at the International Conference on Cyber Security in New York, Barr said that the inability for law enforcement to tap into communication among dangerous actors is a major threat to public safety and national security.

Jeffrey Epstein's ex-cop 'quadruple murderer' cellmate tells how he 'saved the billionaire pedophile's life when he found him unconscious following prison suicide attempt'
Metropolitan Correctional Center inmate Nicholas Tartaglione says he helped thwart Jeffrey Epstein's prison suicide last Tuesday night
Epstein reportedly tried to hang himself inside the high-security Manhattan jail
According to Tartaglione's lawyer, the two prisoners have struck up a friendship by bonding over the prison's deplorable conditions
Tartaglione is a former NYPD cop accused of killing four people over a botched drug deal back in 2016
Jeffrey Epstein's cellmate says he saved the billionaire pedophile's life during his recent suicide attempt inside Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.
Nicholas Tartaglione - a former NYPD officer accused of killing four men over a drug deal gone wrong - claims he found Epstein unconscious on Tuesday night.
Epstein, 66, tried to hang himself before Tartaglione, 49, quickly called for help, according to The New York Daily News.
Investigators were initially trying to determine whether Tartaglione had assaulted Epstein or whether the billionaire financier had attempted to end his own life when he was found in his cell.
Epstein was rushed to hospital with neck injuries, while Tartaglione was questioned about Epstein's behavior and mental state in the hours before he was found on the floor.
However, Tartaglione's attorney Bruce Barket told DailyMail.com on Friday that the pair had struck up a close friendship following Epstein's arrest on July 6.
The twosome are in the same Special Housing Unit which is home to 99 inmates who pose a security risk or have violated disciplinary rules.
Muscle-bound Tartaglione is accused of murdering four men following a botched cocaine deal in December 2016.
Attorney General William Barr declared back in March that prosecutors would be seeking the death penalty over the callous crime.
Tartaglione is alleged to have lured his four victims to a bar in upstate New York, before he held them their against their will and killed them.
He reportedly shot three of the men in the backs of their heads.
Police say he was aided by another former New York City officer - Joseph Biggs, 57.
The pair allegedly drove the bodies to Tartaglione's farm about 30 minutes away and buried them in a wooded area.
Meanwhile, Tartaglione's attorney told DailyMail.com that his client had bonded with Epstein over the horrible conditions inside Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Barket said that the MCC was an 'inherently bad place' because the lights are on all the time and the frosted glass means no direct sun gets in.
The only time inmates can spend outside is the rare occasions they are allowed on the exercise yard on the roof - but that has a cage on the top.
He said: 'At times prisoners are kept for days in their cells because the guards are too lazy to let them out.
'The place is infested with insects and rodents and there is black mold in the shower. Most of the cells have leaks so there is standing water in many of them.
'The guards refuse to wash the bed linen so inmates have the same sheets for far too long. The food is barely edible and the vents are covered in dust.
'The medical care is virtually nonexistent. It's a small thing but even the clocks in the attorney visiting room don't have batteries because they don't replace them'
Barket said that the prison was a 'violent place' and that Tartaglione had recently been assaulted by another inmate who put his locker lock inside a sock and hit his head with it'.
The rodent infestation extends to the prison commissary where inmates can buy food and snacks - and the cells themselves.
Barket said: 'A week ago Nick woke up and realized he'd accidentally smothered a rat in his sleep. It's disgusting'.
Epstein is imprisoned at MCC after being charged with molesting girls at his homes in New York and West Palm Beach between 2002 and 2005.
He has pleaded not guilty to two charges of sex trafficking and is next due in court on Wednesday.

Q Research General #9243: Anons Of The Corn Edition
Bill Barr is dirty as fuck and you all stick up for him shamefully
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Attorney General nominee William Barr have focused heavily on Barr's views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But nobody is asking about Barr's legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens.
Barr received a routine questionnaire from the Judiciary Committee asking him to disclose his past work including pro bono activities "serving the disadvantaged." The "disadvantaged" that Barr spent the most time helping was an FBI agent who slayed an Idaho mother holding her baby in 1992. Barr spent two weeks organizing former Attorneys General and others to support "an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident." Barr also "assisted in framing legal arguments advanced... in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit," he told the committee.
That charitable work (for an FBI agent who already had a federally-paid law firm defending him) helped tamp down one of the biggest scandals during Barr's time as Attorney General from 1991 to early 1993. Barr was responsible for both the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, two federal agencies whose misconduct at Ruby Ridge "helped to weaken the bond of trust that must exist between ordinary Americans and our law enforcement agencies," according to a 1995 Senate Judiciary Committee report.

Intel chief warns Barr could imperil national security by declassifying documents
The nation's intelligence chief expressed hope Friday that Attorney General William Barr would adhere to "long-established standards" during his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe - but warned the release of "highly-sensitive classified information" would imperil national security.
"Much like we have with other investigations and reviews, the Intelligence Community (IC) will provide the Department of Justice all of the appropriate information for its review of intelligence activities related to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election," Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said in a statement.
"As part of that process, I am confident that the Attorney General will work with the IC in accordance with the long-established standards to protect highly-sensitive classified information that, if publicly released, would put our national security at risk," Coats said.
He added that the intelligence community "will continue to faithfully execute its mission of providing timely, apolitical intelligence to the President and policymakers."

Q Research General #9215: CA goes for more gun control! Ghost guns in their sites? Q drops! Edition
If what you already know about the FBI's investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia has you wondering what can come next, "make sure you are sitting down because it's about to get worse," said Patrick Byrne, the philanthropist and CEO of the mega online retail chain Overstock.com.
Byrne revealed never published details about his intimate relationship with the Russian gun right's activist and libertarian, Maria Butina, who is now serving out her sentence after pleading guilty in 2018 to working as a foreign agent in the U.S. without registering.
In an interview several weeks ago, Byrne recanted first meeting Butina at Freedom Fest 2015. He described the relationship that developed between the two and revealed that he had initiated contact in July, 2015 with the FBI after his first meeting with Butina. He also disclosed that he met twice with attorney's from the Department of Justice in April, giving a total of seven hours of interviews on the separate occasions. A source directly familiar with the interviews, confirmed those meetings took place.
Butina's lawyer, Robert Driscoll, also confirmed the relationship between Byrne and Butina. Driscoll stated that he also had relayed the information to the FBI and prosecutors earlier during his trial, and asked repeatedly about any Brady material -exculpatory information - that the bureau may have collected from Byrne on Butina, to no avail. The bureau denied it had any information regarding Byrne and Butina's relationship, Driscoll's letter stated.
On Thursday, Driscoll sent a letter to United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation; Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is conducting an investigation into the bureau's origins of the Trump probe and Corey Amundson, with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility.
"In writing, the government denied the existence of any such Brady material," Driscoll stated in his letter. "Orally, during debrief sessions with Maria, I directly told the government that I believed Patrick Byrne, Chief Executive of Overstock.com, who had a sporadic relationship with Maria over a period of years prior to her arrest, was a government informant. My speculation was flatly denied. My associate Alfred Carry made similar assertions in a separate debrief that he covered and was also rebuffed."
"Mr. Byrne has now contacted me and has confirmed that he, indeed, had a 'non-standard arrangement' with the FBI for many years, and that beginning in 2015 through Maria's arrest, he communicated and assisted government agents with their investigation of Maria. During this time, he stated he acted at the direction of the government and federal agents by, at their instruction, kindling a manipulative romantic relationship with her. He also told me that some of the details he provided the government regarding Maria in response was exculpatory-that is, he reported to the government that Maria's behavior and interaction with him was inconsistent with her being a foreign agent and more likely an idealist and age-appropriate peace activist."
"As an adjunct university professor and CEO of a public company, Mr. Byrne is a credible source of information, who from my view has little to gain but much to lose by disclosing a sporadic relationship with Maria. His claims are worthy of investigation. Indeed, he has much to say about the government's handling of Maria's case that go far beyond the Brady issue I raise in this letter. Regardless of these other issues, which I suggest you pursue directly with him, I was told the following by Mr. Byrne," Driscoll's letter states.
Overstock.Com
But Byrne's decision to come forward didn't come lightly. However, he said it was necessary after watching what had transpired between the FBI, the intelligence community and the probe into President Trump's campaign over the past several years.
"It was something I knew I had to do," he told this reporter. "Those running the operation were not honest and in the end I realized I was being used in some sort of soft coup."

This /ourgirl/ Sara Carter Story is Huuuuuge
On Thursday, Driscoll sent a letter to United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation; Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is conducting an investigation into the bureau's origins of the Trump probe and Corey Amundson, with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility.

"It was something I knew I had to do," he told this reporter. "Those running the operation were not honest and in the end I realized I was being used in some sort of soft coup."
Familiar with the possible backlash he will face, he made the decision to go public after speaking to his mentor and long time friend billionaire Warren Buffet, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Buffet, who Bryne describes as his 'Rabbi,' sent SaraACarter.com a statement Tuesday night confirming his meeting with Byrne at his home in Omaha, Nebraska several weeks ago.
"I've known Patrick and his family for more than 40 years," Buffet said in an email to this reporter. "His father, Jack Byrne, saved GEICO in 1976 and I met his three boys when they were teenagers. Both Mark, the middle son, and Patrick, the youngest, worked for Berkshire Hathaway. Patrick helped the company without pay in solving a difficult business problem. Patrick is very intelligent and patriotic. He comes by Omaha periodically to see me. At the most recent visit - a few weeks ago - though I know nothing about the subject he was describing, I told him to follow his conscience."
Byrne's Reveal
There are only several other reporters with knowledge of what you are about to read and another who is aware of the situation with Byrne. Byrne recounted his story of his involvement with the FBI and DOJ on video during the private meeting he arranged with this reporter, and several others.
The meeting between Byrne and the journalists took place in New York City. It was a little more than three hours long, for the most part completely on the record and video taped. He told his story in seven parts.

Trump admits he allowed Devin Nunes access to classified intelligence documents about Russia investigation
Donald Trump has given the US attorney general permission to share classified information about the Russia investigation with Devin Nunes, the Republican House Intelligence Committee ranking member who has called for Justice Department and FBI officials to be jailed over the probe.
The US president said he had given William Barr "a total release" of documents relating to the investigation into Moscow's interference in the 2016 election, and had also "given him authorisation to release it to whoever he wants".
"He's got everything; everything he needs, he's got," he told Sean
Hannity in an interview on Fox News on Thursday night.
Mr Trump added: "He's the attorney general of the United States, he's has got a lot of very good people under him that I guess are involved and I gave them a total release. So, all of it's been released and he has all of it.
"I've also given him authorisation to release it to whoever he wants, whether it's his people or frankly perhaps people like Devin Nunes, who is a star."
Mr Nunes, the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, this week portrayed allegations that Mr Trump's presidential campaign team colluded with Russia as a "hoax" comparable to "the Loch Ness monster".
Earlier this month, he described officials who triggered Robert Mueller's Russia investigation as "a bunch of dirty cops".

"Some of them better go to jail, or we're going to go down in a spiral in this country because you will not have a Republican that will trust the FBI or the Department of Justice for generations to come," he told Fox News presenter Bill Hemmer.
Mr Mueller, giving testimony on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, rejected Mr Trump's claims to have been been exonerated by the special counsel's report.
"That is not what the report said. The president was not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed," he told congress.

Sebastian Gorka: 'It's a Disgrace That Robert Mueller So Betrayed His Oath of Office'
Democrats and Republicans took turns firing questions at former special counsel Robert Mueller during his testimony in front of Congress on July 24, with Democrats trying to frame old information from the report as obstruction and Republicans trying to pry new information from Mueller's tight-lipped testimony on the origins of the investigation.
Due to ongoing investigations, Mueller was obligated to keep his responses to unredacted information from his report.
Sebastian Gorka, former Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump, military and intelligence analyst, and radio host of America First, called Mueller's testimony an "utter disaster for the Democrats" and a "disgrace."
"His lies were plain for everyone to see," Gorka told The Epoch Times. "We don't do this in America. We don't use law enforcement intelligence for political purposes against our political rivals ... that's what the Mueller investigation was."
Accountability
Gorka said he has faith in Attorney General William Barr to get to the bottom of how the FBI counterintelligence investigation started and to hold those in intelligence agencies accountable.
"The British government is culpable," said Gorka. "The Australian government is culpable-this so-called diplomat [Alexander Downer] that gave millions of dollars from the Australian Government to the Hillary Clinton Foundation.
"This is the next iteration of the story: the genesis and the culpability of what are called liaison services in the broader intelligence community."
Republicans are still questioning to what extent the Obama administration was involved with spying on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
"There is no way on God's earth that the Obama administration at the level of director of the CIA, NSA, and FBI initiated Crossfire Hurricane, initiated political espionage operations on the Republican Party and their candidate, without the White House knowing and without the president knowing," Gorka said.
"We have the Strzok and Page text which says Obama wants to know everything, the White House wants briefings, so it's absolutely... it is in the realm of fantasy that President Obama did not know about the illegal espionage on the Republican Party and Donald Trump."
'What Page is That?'
Mueller at times during his testimony seemed unfamiliar with some details of the report.
Gorka said he strongly believes that it was Mueller's top prosecutor, Andrew Weissman, who was the one that wrote the report.
"I mean look at the testimony," he said. "They were asking him simple questions regarding Fusion GPS, the progenitor of the opposition research dossier that was used to obtain illegal FISA warrants against the Trump campaign, and he doesn't know? And constantly he's saying, 'Oh could you tell me what page that's on?'"
Gorka said Mueller made a political decision to provide top cover as a "Republican" to a band of Hillary Clinton donors and lawyers, and that his deputy, Weissmann, was with Clinton in New York the night of the election expecting to celebrate with her.
"It was a travesty, and it's clear the person who learned the most about the Mueller report yesterday, was Robert Mueller," Gorka said.

According to a 2002 profile in New York - the one with the Trump quote - Epstein dropped out of Cooper Union and NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences before finding a job teaching calculus and physics at the Dalton School in the mid-1970s. Epstein was hired at the prestigious Manhattan college-prep institution by the father of Attorney General William Barr, and his students included the son of Bear Stearns chairman Alan Greenberg. In 1976, Epstein joined Bear as a floor trader's assistant, making partner in a mere four years. By 1981, he was out, setting up the J. Epstein & Co. money-management business the next year. New York described his business strategy in 2002:

Attorney General William Barr directed the Bureau of Prisons to schedule the executions of five inmates convicted of murder and other crimes. The executions have been scheduled for December 2019 and January 2020.
The Supreme Court outlawed state and federal death penalty laws in the 1972 decision Furman v. Georgia. The federal death penalty was reinstated in 1988, and expanded by Congress in 1994. No federal executions took place, however, until 2001, according to to the Bureau of Prisons website.

Q Research General #9200: POTUS on Hannity @ 9PM ET Edition
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/25/federal-government-to-reinstate-the-death-penalty-after-nearly-two-decades/
Attorney General William Barr on Thursday issued a directive paving the way for the federal government to resume the use of the death penalty for the first time in nearly two decades, the Department of Justice announced.
According to the agency, Barr ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to adopt a proposed addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol to allow for capital punishment to resume. The DOJ provided descriptions of five individuals it seeks to have executed in the months of December and January: Daniel Lewis Lee, a white supremacist, who murdered three people, including an eight-year-old girl; Lezmond Mitchell, who stabbed to death a 63-year-old grandmother and slit the throat of her nine-year-old granddaughter; Wesley Ira Purkey, who raped and killed a 16-year-old girl; Alfred Bourgeoism who molested, and beat to death his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter; Dustin Lee Honken, who shot dead five people.
"Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people's representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President," Attorney General William Barr said in a statement. "Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding. The Justice Department upholds the rule of law-and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system."
Additional executions will be announced at a later date, the DOJ stated.
President Barack Obama ordered a review of the death penalty in 2014 after a botched state execution in Oklahoma. The findings of the review are unclear and it is unknown whether the review will impact the way in which future executions will be carried out.
The move by Barr comes after former Vice President Joe Biden announced his support for eliminating of the federal death penalty, despite supporting it for decades. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) is the sole 2020 White House candidate to publically support preserving capital punishment in specific cases.

Epstein On Way to Israel? UPDATE 35 to the Second Greatest Story Ever Told
ROBERT STEELE: Epstein is easily a bishop on the chessboard between Trump and the Deep State inclusive of its Zionist underbelly. Epstein should be in one of our special detention facilities deep inside a military base with its own perimeter, under safehouse conditions, being systematically debriefed. That he is in a cell where he could commit suicide or be attacked calls into question the competence of President Trump's national security team (as well as their loyalty - Bolton and Pompeo clearly want Epstein to die and will do everything they can to help destroy all useful information). The Mossad and CIA and FBI probably have copies of all of the damning videos, what they want to conceal now is WHO was blackmailed and WHAT those being blackmailed did for them. That is precisely what President Trump should be going after. Clown show - or treason in the guise of incompetence? My guess: the latter. This does however also continue the cover-up pattern of which NBC is clearly a part, to wit, no Mossad to see here folks, move along....
Then of course there is the more subtle plan, which is that this is a prequel to Epstein's being found "dead" and quickly exported, very much alive, to minister to a cluster of little girls and boys deep inside Israel where many of the leaders are both Satanically possessed and very much in the pedophile and murderous pedophile mode. President Donald Trump is not being responsible about how he looks after this case and neither is Attorney General William Barr.
The veils remain in place:
4th: Les Wexner as financier of fake billionaire Jeffrey Epstein
5th: Mossad control of it all, upgrading from Maxwell's prostitution ring
6th: CIA and FBI complicity from day one
7th: 49 other Mossad pedophilia entrapment operations, one in each state

Barr And State AGs Discuss Big Tech Monopolies As 'Flipped' Facebook Co-Founder Helps Devise Antitrust Action
A bipartisan group of eight state attorneys general met with US Attorney General William Barr on Thursday to discuss "the real concerns consumers across the country have with big tech companies stifling competition," according to Politico.
"Our bipartisan coalition of eight state attorneys general was pleased with the opportunity to meet with U.S. Attorney General Barr to talk about the real concerns consumers across the country have with big tech companies stifling competition on the internet," reads a joint statement from the state AGs, which include Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
A Justice Department spokesperson declined comment. Some of the states that had planned to attend the meeting, including Nebraska and Arizona, have opened inquiries into Google's practices. Representatives from the Nebraska and Arizona offices did not immediately return requests for comment.
The potential state action adds yet another layer to the growing scrutiny of the power of online platforms. In announcing its antitrust review this week, the DOJ said it will consider "widespread concerns" expressed about search, social media and online retail services. -Politico
Meanwhile, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes is has been meeting with regulators to make the case for breaking up the social media giant, according to the New York Times.

Q Research General #9193: Moar Disney on the rocks! Edition
Everyone forgets about the Kebley fellow who was added at the last minute. Did you hear Mueller's description of him? He said "He performed the day-to-day oversight of the investigation."
Mueller wasn't acting. He knew very little of the details in the report. If you didn't notice, go back and watch the hearings and watch Mueller's aides and the binder he was using. Rarely, if ever, did they actually turn the pages. Mueller actually read from the report maybe twice all day. He would have the questioner read from the report.
I think Mueller was there because he was pressured (blackmailed) into being there by the swampers. He knew that legally, he could not give any answers different than what was in the report. He tried to help the Democrats when he could, but he valued his reputation more than their approval. So, he resorted to deflection and "Not within my purview."
For Mueller, this was his last day with this mess. The Dems will not let him get within 3 miles of a microphone after this.
In my opinion, what yesterday told me is that when William Barr became AG, he told Mueller that the open ended witch-hunt is over, to wrap it up NOW and close up shop. It also told me that Andrew Weissman basically ran the Special Counsel Office.

Attorney General Barr Orders Execution Of Child Rapists, Murderers As U.S. Resumes Death Penalty
Attorney General William Barr on Thursday ordered the federal government to resume the death penalty and directed the Bureau of Prisons "to schedule the executions of five death-row inmates convicted of murdering, and in some cases torturing and raping, the most vulnerable in our society-children and the elderly."
"Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people's representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President," Attorney General Barr said in a statement. "Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding. The Justice Department upholds the rule of law-and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system."
The last federal execution in the United States occurred in 2003.
According to Barr's statement, these five inmates will be executed, beginning on Dec. 9:
Daniel Lewis Lee, a member of a white supremacist group, murdered a family of three, including an eight-year-old girl. After robbing and shooting the victims with a stun gun, Lee covered their heads with plastic bags, sealed the bags with duct tape, weighed down each victim with rocks, and threw the family of three into the Illinois bayou. On May 4, 1999, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas found Lee guilty of numerous offenses, including three counts of murder in aid of racketeering, and he was sentenced to death. Lee's execution is scheduled to occur on Dec. 9, 2019.
Lezmond Mitchell stabbed to death a 63-year-old grandmother and forced her nine-year-old granddaughter to sit beside her lifeless body for a 30 to 40-mile drive. Mitchell then slit the girl's throat twice, crushed her head with 20-pound rocks, and severed and buried both victims' heads and hands. On May 8, 2003, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona found Mitchell guilty of numerous offenses, including first degree murder, felony murder, and carjacking resulting in murder, and he was sentenced to death. Mitchell's execution is scheduled to occur on Dec. 11, 2019.
Wesley Ira Purkey violently raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl, and then dismembered, burned, and dumped the young girl's body in a septic pond. He also was convicted in state court for using a claw hammer to bludgeon to death an 80-year-old woman who suffered from polio and walked with a cane. On Nov. 5, 2003, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri found Purkey guilty of kidnapping a child resulting in the child's death, and he was sentenced to death. Purkey's execution is scheduled to occur on Dec. 13, 2019.
Alfred Bourgeois physically and emotionally tortured, sexually molested, and then beat to death his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. On March 16, 2004, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas found Bourgeois guilty of multiple offenses, including murder, and he was sentenced to death. Bourgeois' execution is scheduled to occur on Jan. 13, 2020.
Dustin Lee Honken shot and killed five people-two men who planned to testify against him and a single, working mother and her ten-year-old and six-year-old daughters. On Oct. 14, 2004, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa found Honken guilty of numerous offenses, including five counts of murder during the course of a continuing criminal enterprise, and he was sentenced to death. Honken's execution is scheduled to occur on Jan. 15, 2020.
Barr's statement also said the Federal Execution Protocol Addendum will replace the three-drug procedure previously used in federal executions with a single drug-pentobarbital. "Since 2010, 14 states have used pentobarbital in over 200 executions, and federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly upheld the use of pentobarbital in executions as consistent with the Eighth Amendment," the statement said.
A majority of Americans still support the death penalty, according to Gallup polls. In an October 2018 survey, 56% supported the death penalty while 41% opposed.

The federal government once again plans to carry out lethal injections after a nearly two-decade hiatus on capital punishment, the Justice Department announced Thursday.
Attorney General William Barr said that DOJ will switch from a "three-drug protocol" caught up in legal challenges to using a single drug to execute inmates by lethal injection, clearing the way and ordering the Bureau of Prisons to schedule executions for five of the nearly 60 inmates on federal death row.
"Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people's representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President," Barr said in a statement.

Federal Government to Reinstate the Death Penalty After Nearly Two Decades
Attorney General William Barr on Thursday issued a directive paving the way for the federal government to resume the use of the death penalty for the first time in nearly two decades, the Department of Justice announced.
According to the agency, Barr ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to adopt a proposed addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol to allow for capital punishment to resume.
"Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people's representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President," Attorney General William Barr said in a statement. "Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding.

On Thursday the Department of Justice announced that for the first time in nearly two decades it will resume capital punishment, with Attorney General William Barr the process for the execution of five death-row in mates is set to move forward. It will mark the first federal executions since 2003.
"Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people's representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President," Barr said in a written statement released by the DOJ.
The first among the five new executions announced is Daniel Lewis Lee, convicted in 1999 of murdering family of three in Arkansas, including children. Notably all five death-row inmates now scheduled to face execution are child murderers.
"The Justice Department upholds the rule of law-and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system," Barr said further in his statement.
The DOJ release indicated the Federal Bureau of Prisons will use a single drug, pentobarbital, for all federal executions, currently used by a number of states for lethal injections.
"Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding," Barr's statement continued.
The five inmates are scheduled for executions to take place at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, reportedly in December and early January.
Prior to stopping federal execution cases in 2003, perhaps the more notorious criminal to be put to death was Timothy McVeigh in 2001, for killing 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing, and further recent death row cases awaiting execution include Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in 2015 for the Boston Marathon bombing, and white supremacist Dylann Roof in 2017 for the Charleston church shooting.

Andy McCarthy's biggest takeaway from Mueller hearing: 'Inconceivable' he ran the investigation
Fox News contributor and former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy said Thursday on "Fox & Friends" that his biggest takeaway from the Mueller hearing was the "staff-driven" nature of the Russia probe.
"It's inconceivable that Robert Mueller ran this investigation. One thing that was evident in seven hours of testimony is that he only has a remote familiarity with his own report and with the investigation. He was actually staff-driven and that's what the president has been saying all along," he said.
Host Steve Doocy noted that the president's critics have long chastised him for claiming "13 angry Democrats" were fueling the probe, often countering that Robert Mueller was ensuring the fairness of the proceedings.
McCarthy said he would have liked to see Republicans also ask some open-ended questions since Mueller didn't seem "up to" giving sufficient answers.
"I would have asked him, ya know, why don't you tell us three or four of the questions you would have asked President Trump," he said.
Mueller delivered his long-awaited testimonies in front of two House committees Wednesday regarding his summary report of the nearly two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and related matters.
In his opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee, Mueller warned Democratic and Republican lawmakers that his "testimony will necessarily be limited," and thus he would not discuss details of the FBI's Russia investigation, the Steele Dossier or the actions of Attorney General William Barr.
On numerous occasions, Mueller either directed committee members to the report or said "I'm not going to discuss that," "I can't answer that," "I'm not certain I would adopt that characterization," or "That's out of my purview." He also refused to read from the report himself and gave one-word answers to a number of questions or attempts at clarification, saying "yes," "no," "true," or "correct" throughout his testimony.

The other Trump Tower meeting: Barr looking into leaks after Comey briefed Trump on dossier
The phrase "the Trump Tower meeting" has become synonymous with the controversial June 9, 2016 meeting between senior members of the Trump campaign and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and others, but Attorney General William Barr says he is looking into another Trump Tower gathering - when then-FBI Director James Comey briefed President-elect Trump on some of the most salacious allegations in the so-called Steele dossier in January 2017 in New York City.
In an interview with Fox News that aired Friday, Barr said "one of the things we want to look into" is "the handling of the meeting on Jan. 6, 2017 between the intelligence chiefs and the president and the leaking of information subsequent to that meeting."

Who cares if he answered appropriately?
He is a TRAITOR to our country!
He and the rest of his minions should be treated as such.
"A nation can survive its fools,
and even the ambitious. But it
cannot survive treason from
within. An enemy at the gates is
less formidable, for he is known
and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst
those within the gate freely, his
sly whispers rustling through all
the alleys, heard in the very halls
of government itself. For the
traitor appears not a traitor; he
speaks in accents familiar to his
victims, and he wears their face
and their arguments, he appeals
to the baseness that lies deep in
the hearts of all men. He rots the
soul of a nation, he works secretly
and unknown in the night to
undermine the pillars of the city,
he infects the body politic so that
it can no longer resist. A murderer
is less to fear. The traitor is the
plague."

None Dare Call It Treason: President Trump Must Fight Fire With Fire And Hold The 'Coup D'Etat' Leaders Responsible For Their Crimes Against America
- With Others Watching, Justice Against The Coup Plotters Is Absolutely Necessary For Reasons Of National Security.
"Attorney General William Barr should aggressively investigate, indict, and imprison leaders of the attempted coup d'etat who served and are serving in the FBI, DOJ, Intelligence Community, and Democratic Party."
"Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why, if treason doth prosper. None dare call it treason." -Sir John Harrington (1561-1612)
"Conservatives should not be applauding the Mueller Report for finding no collusion with Russia by President Trump during his election campaign or after. The Mueller investigation itself was never legitimate. It was part of a conspiracy by the Obama administration, the Democratic Party, and their minions in the FBI and Justice Department against Mr. Trump, his allies, voters, and the Constitution. Any intelligent person, not wholly blinded by fanatical anti-Trump partisanship, should have understood all along that the Mueller investigation, a stacked deck, staffed with highly partisan activist Democratic lawyers, was biased and bogus."
"Any intelligent person, not rendered insane by anti-Trump hatred, should have understood all along that vociferous accusations by Democrats and the liberal mainstream media that President Trump colluded with Russia to win election - that President Trump is a traitor - was and is utter nonsense. Indeed, these false accusations against President Trump, that seek to delegitimize his administration and cancel the ballots cast by Trump voters, is the real act of treason."

(INTELLIHUB) - President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that whoever was involved in the fabrication of the Russian collusion hoax should stand trial for treason and said that precedence needs to be set for future offenders.
The 72-year-old commander-in-chief made clear on a telephone interview that former FBI agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page had wanted an "insurance policy" months before the Robert Mueller investigation began "just in case Hillary Clinton lost."
"...what we were playing out until just recently was the insurance policy," Trump said. "They wanted to do a subversion - it was treason."

"The facts of what really happened via the dark Deep State underbelly of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax are (finally) leaking out a bit these days as more and more voters come to realize that what really happened was a shocking attempted coup of a duly elected President of the United States by deeply entrenched powers from within the U.S. government."
Via PJ Media:
"Trump Was Not Just Spied Upon But Entrapped
It's bad enough, as has been evident for some time, that Donald Trump and his campaign were being spied upon by our own government, but it's highly likely they were also subject to literal entrapment-at least a serious attempt was made.
I don't mean the entrapment of promulgating the salacious Steele dossier both to the public and the FISA court as if it were the truth. That was more of a smear to justify a phony investigation. I mean something more subtle and LeCarré-like coming from the depths of our intelligence communities. It raises once more the question of the power of such agencies in a free society, a conundrum with no easy answers but of great significance to our lives."

Q Research General #9176: President Trump King of Womp! Edition
Turkey Lobbying Case Reveals Avenue to FISA Spying Abuse
On July 23, Bijan Rafiekian was convicted of acting as an unregistered agent of Turkey. The courtroom was half-empty. No cameras waited outside.
Media took notice, it appears, only because the lobbying job at the core of the case was done by the now-defunct Flynn Intel Group (FIG), which Rafiekian ran with retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency and former national security adviser to President Donald Trump.
The case, however, was notable for another reason. It demonstrated how far the U.S. government has stretched the law to label Rafiekian an "agent of a foreign government"-a label that appears to open the doors for the FBI and the Justice Department to target American citizens, such as Rafiekian or Flynn, for extremely intrusive surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Many Republicans in Congress have alleged that Trump's opponents in various branches of the government have abused the Act to spy on his aides. Attorney General William Barr set out to explore the issue, while the Justice Department's Inspector General (IG) is expected to soon release a report addressing the matter.
The Rafiekian case adds another dimension to the issue.
Section 951
Rafiekian was charged under Section 951, which stipulates that "an individual who agrees to operate within the United States subject to the direction or control of a foreign government or official" will face up to 10 years in prison unless he or she first informs the Attorney General in writing who he is, what he's about to do, and for whom.
On its face, the statute is extremely broad. If a foreign minister gives someone $5 to buy him a slice of New York pizza, does one have to tell the Attorney General first? That's why the law has several exceptions, such as excluding "any person engaged in a legal commercial transaction."
The enforcement of the statute is managed by the Justice Department's National Security Division, which called Section 951 "espionage lite," saying that it "generally involves espionage-like or clandestine behavior or an otherwise provable connection to an intelligence service, or information gathering or procurement-type activity on behalf of a foreign government," according to a 2016 IG report (pdf).
But Rafiekian wasn't alleged to have engaged in any such activity.

Military Operation To Evacuate Trump Begins After Mueller Bombshell Explodes In Austrian Court
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A fascinating new Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) report circulating in the Kremlin today noting the prescient coming clean of President Putin in his response to the "meddling" in the 2016 US Presidential Election confirming that it is "perfectly clear Ukrainian oligarchs gave money to Trump's opponents", states this entire sordid American affair took a much more ominous turn last week after everything that Special Counsel Robert Mueller tried to do against Trump "exploded like a bombshell" in an Austrian courtroom-a courtroom where the extradition of Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash to the US was put on hold after it was shockingly revealed that the Obama Regime Justice Department had fabricated the charges against him-charges Mueller deputy Andrew Weissmann offered to drop in their entirety if Firtash would lie under oath saying Trump was being financed by Russia-an illegal coup plot Firtash and his American attorneys outright told Weissmann they would in no way be a part of-and as this vast coup plot continues unraveling, putting numerous high-level American elites in grave danger of being charged with treason-now sees the United States Army moving quickly to protect President Trump in what is being described as an "emerging classified flight mission"-the full dimensions of which were displayed yesterday when at least 10 UH-60 Black Hawk heavily armed combat helicopters flooded the skies in and around Washington, D.C.-and whose obvious mission would be to evacuate Trump from the White House if his enemies launch an attack against him. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]
US Army floods skies over Washington D.C. on 22 July 2019 with heavily armed combat helicopters in show of force to protect President Donald Trump
According to this report, MoFA intelligence analysts became concerned about what was occurring in the United States when the Ministry of Defense (MoD), on 4 February 2019, issued an alert bulletin stating that dozens of US Army heavily armed Black Hawk helicopters had suddenly descended upon Los Angeles to begin mock raids and evacuation of high-level targets-and upon the completion of this domestic war game exercise, then saw the US Army repositioning these combat helicopters, along with their pilots and elite commandos, to Joint Base Andrews located outside of Washington D.C. in Prince George's County-Maryland-but whose true mission is secret enough to require a "Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility" (SCIF) to be built at Davison Army Airfield at Fort Belvoir- Virginia-20-miles from Washington D.C.-with SCIFs being the ultra-secure facilities that allow their occupants to handle classified material without concern for electronic eavesdropping or other interception.
US Army assembles elite secretive commando force at Davison Army Airfield (above) in Fort Belvoir-Virginia to rescue President Donald Trump if needed
As to why the US Army is preparing to protect President Trump, this report explains, is due to their fears of how Trump's enemies will react once they fully comprehend that their coup plot against him has not only failed, US Attorney General William Barr is going to capture them all and prosecute them for their treasonous crimes-and as confirmed by Trump himself who vowed: "This should never happen to another president again".

Sen. Cruz: Open an Investigation Into Antifa, a Left-Wing Anarchist Terrorist Organization
Calls for investigation into Antifa and Portland Mayor Wheeler in letter to A.G. Barr, Deputy A.G. Rosen, and FBI Director Wray
July 23, 2019
|
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, today penned a letter to Attorney General William Barr, Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, and FBI Director Christopher Wray calling for an investigation into Antifa and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
"I write to urge you to open an organized crime investigation into Antifa, a left-wing anarchist terrorist organization that routinely relies on violence to intimidate and punish its political opponents," Sen. Cruz wrote. "Our Republic depends on free and open participation in the political process. These acts of brazen political violence and intimidation strike at the heart of that process. Given your commitment to the rule of law, I hope you will respond to Antifa's organized criminal activity, and Mayor Ted Wheeler's refusal to protect Portland's citizens from that activity, with all speed and vigilance."
The full letter may be viewed here and below:
July 23, 2019
The Honorable William Barr

Washington DC 20530-0001
The Honorable Jeffrey A. Rosen
United States Department of Justice

Washington DC 20530-0001
The Honorable Christopher Wray
Federal Bureau of Investigation
935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington DC 20535-0001
Dear Attorney General Barr, Deputy Attorney General Rosen, and Director Wray:
I write to urge you to open an organized crime investigation into Antifa, a left-wing anarchist terrorist organization that routinely relies on violence to intimidate and punish its political opponents.
Antifa's violence is widespread and well-known. Earlier this month, the "Rose City" chapter of the domestic terrorist organization "Antifa" rampaged through Portland, Oregon, stealing and destroying property, disrupting traffic, and assaulting civilians. One journalist, Andy Ngo, was attacked so severely that he was hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage. This weekend, Willem Van Sprosen, an Antifa terrorist, attacked a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement center in Tacoma, Washington, igniting a vehicle and attempting to ignite a propane tank. This mayhem follows previous armed attacks and rioting by Antifa in Portland, as well as the arsons, destruction of property, batteries, and related crimes by Antifa following President Trump's inauguration. These are not unconnected lawless incidents; they instead appear to be a pattern of racketeering activity. And they occur principally because Antifa's members rely on masks to conceal which particular member committed any given crime.
As you are well aware, federal law has provided the Nation's law enforcement with powerful tools to prosecute criminal organizations, such as Antifa, the Ku Klux Klan, and the mafia, that rely on group anonymity. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq., prohibits employment or association with any enterprise to conduct that enterprise's affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity. 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c). RICO enables law enforcement to prosecute individual members of these groups for participating in the criminal enterprise-even when the government cannot establish which particular individual in a corrupt organization committed a given crime.
RICO further gives law-abiding citizens in jurisdictions like Portland some recourse in support of their constitutional rights. You are surely aware that Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler has staunchly refused to deploy and support local law enforcement to restore order and prevent Antifa robberies and armed assaults. It is no mystery why: Antifa's violence is aimed to silence dissent from authoritarian left-wing views. Mayor Wheeler apparently agrees with those views. But the First Amendment guarantees Portland's moderates and conservatives alike the right to speak, and the Equal Protection Clause prohibits Portland's mayor and police force from refusing to prosecute assaults designed to suppress this First Amendment right-from, quite literally, denying to dissenting Portlanders the equal protection of Oregon's laws against assault and robbery. Federal intervention is required to guarantee these citizens' constitutional rights.

FBI director lavishes praise on DOJ inspector general
FBI Director Christopher Wray had nothing but praise Tuesday for Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz as the DOJ's watchdog wraps up his investigation into the bureau's involvement in alleged abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act related to the Steele dossier. Wray, who was testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was exceedingly complimentary toward Horowitz, telling Chairman Lindsey Graham that he is "hard-hitting," "independent," "objective," "fair," "professional," and "thorough." "I have no reason to doubt the integrity or the quality of the investigation he has underway," Wray added.
The 412 pages of redacted FISA documents released in 2018 show that the Justice Department and the FBI relied heavily on Steele's dossier, which made a series of salacious and unverified allegations regarding Trump and Russia. Steele put his research together in 2016 at the behest of Fusion GPS, which had been hired by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the Perkins Coie law firm. The FISA Court did not reveal that Steele received funding from a Democratic presidential campaign. Horowitz launched his inquiry in March of last year, interviewed Steele in June, and will reportedly be releasing his report in late summer or early fall.
Additionally, President Trump granted Attorney General William Barr broad declassification authority to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. Barr selected U.S. Attorney John Durham to be his right-hand man in this effort. Wray indicated that he was willing to cooperate in all of these investigations of the investigators. "When it comes to the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign, is anybody providing kind of a deep-dive on what happened there? Is that part of Mr. Horowitz's charter?" Graham asked Wray on Tuesday. "Well, I think I would let Inspector General Horowitz speak for himself about the scope of his investigation. But, as you know, the attorney general is doing a review, or has commissioned some people to do a review, and I think that's part of his job," Wray answered. "And it's part of mine to get some of those questions answered."

The Hill story talks about Mifsud.
While most of the political world focused its attention elsewhere, special prosecutor John Durham's team quietly reached out this summer to a lawyer representing European academic Joseph Mifsud, one of the earliest and most mysterious figures in the now closed Russia-collusion case.
An investigator told Swiss attorney Stephan Roh that Durham's team wanted to interview Mifsud, or at the very least review a recorded deposition the professor gave in summer 2018 about his role in the drama involving Donald Trump, Russia and the 2016 election.
The contact, confirmed by multiple sources and contemporaneous email, sent an unmistakable message: Durham, the U.S. attorney handpicked by Attorney General William Barr to determine whether the FBI committed abuses during the Russia investigation, is taking a second look at one of the noteworthy figures and the conclusions of special counsel Robert Mueller's final report.
The evidence I reviewed suggests Mueller's handiwork may be exposed for glaring omissions that, when brought to public light, leave key questions unanswered, especially about how the FBI's unprecedented probe of the Trump campaign started.
Durham is focused on determining whether any government or private figures who came in contact with the Trump campaign in 2016 "were engaged in improper surveillance," a U.S. official told me when asked about the Mifsud overture.
For those who don't remember, Mifsud is a Maltese-born academic with a VIP Rolodex who frequented Rome and London for years and engaged at the highest levels of Western diplomatic and intelligence circles.
Mueller's team alleges that Mifsud is the person who fed a story in spring 2016 to Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos about Moscow possessing purloined emails from Hillary Clinton. It was the earliest known contact in the now-debunked collusion narrative and the seminal event that the FBI says prompted it on July 31, 2016, to open its probe into the Trump campaign.
Mueller concluded that Mifsud was a person with extensive Russia ties who planted the story about the Clinton emails in Moscow and then lied about his dealings with Papadopoulos when interviewed by the FBI in 2017. Papadopoulos has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Mifsud.
But unlike others accused of misleading Mueller - including Papadopoulos, former Trump adviser Mike Flynn and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort - Mifsud was not charged with a crime.
Conservative defenders of President Trump, including former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), have raised recent concerns that Mueller's portrayal of the Mifsud-Papadopoulos contacts doesn't add up.
Roh told me the information he is preparing to share with Durham's team from his client will accentuate those concerns.
Mifsud was a "longtime cooperator of western intel" who was asked specifically by his contacts at Link University in Rome and the London Center of International Law Practice (LCILP) - two academic groups with ties to western diplomacy and intelligence - to meet with Papadopoulos at a dinner in Rome in mid-March 2016, Roh told me.
A May 2019 letter from Nunes to U.S. intelligence officials corroborates some of Roh's account, revealing photos showing that the FBI conducted training at Link in fall 2016 and that Mifsud and other Link officials met regularly with world leaders, including Boris Johnson, elected today as Britain's new prime minister.
A few days after the March dinner, Roh added, Mifsud received instructions from Link superiors to "put Papadopoulos in contact with Russians," including a think tank figure named Ivan Timofeev and a woman he was instructed to identify to Papadopoulos as Vladimir Putin's niece.
Mifsud knew the woman was not the Russian president's niece but, rather, a student who was involved with both the Link and LCILP campuses, and the professor believed there was an effort under way to determine whether Papadopoulos was an "agent provocateur" seeking foreign contacts, Roh said.

US attorney general says encryption creates security risk
NEW YORK (AP) - Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday that increased encryption of data on phones and computers and encrypted messaging apps are putting American security at risk.
Barr's comments at a cybersecurity conference mark a continuing effort by the Justice Department to push tech companies to provide law enforcement with access to encrypted devices and applications during investigations.
"There have been enough dogmatic pronouncements that lawful access simply cannot be done," Barr said. "It can be, and it must be."
The attorney general said law enforcement is increasingly unable to access information on devices, and between devices, even with a warrant supporting probable cause of criminal activity.
Barr said terrorists and cartels switch mid-communication to encrypted applications to plan deadly operations. He described a transnational drug cartel's use of WhatsApp group chat to specifically coordinate murders of Mexico-based police officials.
Gail Kent, Facebook's global public policy lead on security, recently said that allowing the government's ability to gain access to encrypted communications would jeopardize cybersecurity for millions of law-abiding people who rely on it. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook.

Jim Jordan on the DOJ IG report: 'What's got Schiff worried?'
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said today that Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California must be "worried" about the upcoming results of the investigation into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Abuse conducted by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz. The GOP's ranking member on the House Oversight Committee was responding to comments made by the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee at the Aspen Security Forum this weekend, where Schiff suggested that Horowitz's prior investigation of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was put on a "fast track" by the Justice Department in order to please President Trump and that its results were therefore "tainted" by politics.
"Inspector General Horowitz is a professional. He's conducting a crucial investigation into FBI and DOJ misconduct. But @RepAdamSchiff said his investigation is 'tainted.' What's got Schiff worried?" Jordan tweeted. Horowitz concluded in February 2018 that McCabe had improperly disclosed information about an investigation to the media and then had "lacked candor" when speaking with former FBI Director James Comey and with investigators from the FBI and the inspector general's office. Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe in March 2018 just before McCabe was scheduled to retire.
Schiff also said this weekend that the "investigation of the investigators" related to the origins of the Trump-Russia probe being carried out by Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham was similarly "tainted." Schiff's comments came after Horowitz interviewed British ex-spy Christopher Steele, whose unverified dossier was relied upon in four FISA applications and renewals, and as the inspector general's highly-anticipated report is reportedly set to be released in the coming weeks.

probable cause to investigate Omar for eight instances of perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, up to eight years of state and federal tax fraud, two years of federal student loan fraud, and even bigamy.
To be clear: The facts describe perhaps the most extensive spree of illegal misconduct committed by a House member in American history.
Consider the disturbingly inadequate evidence used to obtain FISA warrants on members of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Consider that Democratic representatives have demanded that Attorney General William Barr release grand jury testimony - itself an illegal act.
Yet here we have:
Verifiable UK and U.S. marriage records
Verifiable address records
Time-stamped, traceable, archived online communications (Convictions and settlements based upon social media evidence are commonplace, Anthony Weiner being a notable example)
Background check confirmations of SSNs and birthdates
Archived court documents signed under penalty of perjury
Photos which can be examined to rule out digital manipulation
The 2019 Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board investigation, which found Omar filed illegal joint tax returns with a man who was not her husband in at least 2014 and 2015
Three years' of evidence published across many articles - none of which has been shown to be incorrect, or have even been challenged with contradictory evidence from Rep. Omar or any other source
Perjury evidence that stands on its own - regardless of whom she married:
Long after June 2011, she was clearly in contact with the only man in either the U.S. or the UK with the same name and birthdate as the man she married. She was clearly in contact with several people who were in contact with him.
Further, Preya Samsundar did contact him, published how she managed to contact him, and published his email admitting to being photographed with Omar in London in 2015. To be clear: Omar was legally married to an "Ahmed Nur Said Elmi" at the time she was photographed next to a man who admits his name is Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and that he is in the photo.
Samsundar published all of this information on how to contact Ahmed Nur Said Elmi a few months before Omar swore to that nine-question court document.
Rep. Omar has refused all inquiries from her constituents, elected officials, and media outlets to provide any specific evidence contradicting even a single allegation suggested by three years of now-public information.
In fact, Omar has responded by making information less available:
In August 2016, after Scott Johnson and Preya Samsundar posted the allegations, Omar's verified social media accounts were taken offline.
Ahmed Nur Said Elmi's social media accounts were also taken offline.
When the accounts returned, a large amount of potentially incriminating evidence had verifiably been deleted.
I found and published at least ten additional "before and after" instances of evidence still being deleted in 2018.
Omar has released carefully worded, Clintonian statements that denigrate those seeking answers from her as racists. Yet she has repeatedly refused to answer questions or issue anything other than public relations statements.
I have a large amount of information that we have not published for reasons including the protection of sources.
Sources have expressed fear regarding published video and photo evidence confirming threats from Omar's campaign team. These sources have shared other evidence of threats. I have contacted the federal authorities to share this and other unpublished information. Providing knowingly false information to the DOJ is a serious crime.
I believe Scott Johnson, Preya Samsundar, and me, with our three years of articles, columns and posts, have provided more than enough evidence to give law enforcement authorities probable cause to open an investigation. Now would be the chance for law enforcement, and especially for Rep. Ilhan Omar's House colleagues, to make a sincere stand against corruption and for the uniform application of the law.

Federal judge sides with Russian company, rebukes Mueller, Barr
A federal judge has chastised former special counsel Robert Mueller and Attorney General William P. Barr for stating that the Russian government was behind election year social media trolling when there is no evidence presented by prosecutors.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich culminated a secret legal battle between the Justice Department and the Russian firm Concord Management and Consulting LLC.
The judge this month began unsealing legal briefs and transcripts, which reveal that the release of Mr. Mueller's 448-page report and Mr. Barr's public statements triggered Concord attorney Eric A. Dubelier to seek contempt proceedings against both.
Mr. Dubelier said Mr. Mueller prejudiced a potential jury by stating that the Kremlin ran the social media campaign, which the federal government says Concord funded. That connection isn't contained in the special counsel's February 2018 indictment against Concord.
"That's not alleged in the indictment primarily because there is no evidence to support that it was. There is none," Mr. Dubelier told the judge at a closed May 28 hearing for which a transcript was just unsealed.
The conclusion at this stage means Russian President Vladimir Putin backed one major election intervention: his military intelligence hacking of Democratic Party computers and sending stolen materials to WikiLeaks for release.
But he might not have been involved in the parallel social media trolling, though U.S. media reported that it was part of a larger Kremlin conspiracy.
Judge Friedrich concurred that there was a lack of evidence.
Court observers say Mr. Mueller might have withheld evidence from his public report and from the court case for security reasons.
His report cleared President Trump of allegations of conspiring with Moscow.
Mr. Dubelier told the judge that Mr. Mueller and Mr. Barr violated a Justice Department criminal rule by stating before trial that Concord committed an offense.
"The court has discretion to impose sanctions on AG Barr and SC Mueller," he said. "Specifically,

Attorney General William P. Barr's review of the Obama-era conclusion that Russia interfered in the election to help Donald Trump sets up a struggle between the nation's top spies and Mr. Trump's skeptical Republican allies.
But there are dissenters, and they are close to the White House.
Rep. Devin Nunes of California, the ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, issued a report last year that found no Russian-Trump conspiracy. Special counsel Robert Mueller confirmed the finding in March.
Mr. Nunes made a less noticed finding. He said intelligence chiefs violated good tradecraft by writing the assessment section on Mr. Putin's intentions. What's more, Fred Fleitz, who served inside the White House as National Security Adviser John R. Bolton's chief of staff, has written a series of columns casting doubt on the section about Mr. Putin's role in the election.
Mr. Fleitz is being considered as a possible replacement for Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats, whose job is in jeopardy because of testimony this year on North Korea, a White House adviser told The Washington Times.
Former intelligence officials told The Times that Mr. Barr wants to determine whether there was any political influence to skew the conclusions of the intelligence community assessment.
Mr. Coats seemed to confirm that Mr. Barr is conducting a wide-ranging investigation of intelligence agency activities. After Mr. Trumpannounced in May that he had granted Mr. Barrwide powers to collect information and declassify material, Mr. Coats issued his own statement in response.
Casting a wide net
Mr. Barr's search for material on "intelligence activities related to Russian interference" indicates that he is casting a wide net.
Mr. Nunes has said he found great fault in how the Obama appointees wrote the intelligence community assessment on Mr. Putin's intentions.
"While the committee found that most ICA analysis held up to scrutiny, the investigation also identified significant intelligence tradecraft failings that undermine confidence in the ICA judgments regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategic objectives for disrupting the U.S. election," his 2018 report said.
"CIA analysts and their draft was subjected to an unusually constrained review and coordination process, which deviated from established practice."

Mueller report shows evidence Trump committed crimes, House Judiciary chairman says
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top Democrat on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee said Sunday he believes there is "substantial evidence" that President Donald Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanours, and he plans to ask former Special Counsel Robert Mueller to present those facts at a congressional hearing on Wednesday.
"The report presents very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crime and misdemeanours, and we have to let Mueller present those facts to the American people and then see where we go from there," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said on "Fox News Sunday."
"The administration must be held accountable, and no president can be above the law."
Nadler's comments are significant because evidence of such crimes would be required if Democrats pursue impeachment proceedings against the president.
In two nationally televised back-to-back hearings on Wednesday before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, Democrats are expected to try and get Mueller to focus his testimony on specific examples of Trump's misconduct.
By having Mueller lay bare the unflattering details of how Trump tried to stymie the investigation into his campaign, Democrats hope they can build support for their ongoing investigations into the president and potentially, impeachment proceedings.
Some Democrats in Congress support impeaching Trump, but they have not managed to win traction from House Democratic leadership including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has preferred a more cautious approach that entails conducting congressional fact-finding investigations into Trump's conduct.
Last week, the House voted 332-95 to table an impeachment resolution.
Mueller completed his nearly two-year long probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election in March, and the Justice Department released a redacted copy of his report in April.
The report laid out numerous contacts between Russian officials and Trump's campaign, but found no evidence of a criminal conspiracy.
It also gave examples of 10 incidents in which Trump sought to hinder the investigation, but it did not draw any conclusions on whether Trump obstructed justice.
Attorney General William Barr later concluded he did not see enough evidence to bring obstruction charges.
Whether Democrats will get Mueller to discuss Trump's conduct in detail remains to be seen.
Mueller has made it clear he has no desire to appear before Congress, saying the report is his testimony, and he is also notorious for being tight-lipped and for giving one-word answers in hearings.
Nadler said Democrats plan to ask very specific questions about Trump's obstructive conduct and ask Mueller to read passages from the report aloud.
"We hope it won't end up being a dud," he said of the hearing.
Meanwhile, Nadler said Sunday he plans to go to court "within a couple of days" after the Mueller hearings to enforce a subpoena, after the White House ordered former White House Counsel Don McGahn not to testify about incidents he witnessed which many say show Trump tried to obstruct justice.

GOP investigators seek Nellie Ohr's research for Fusion GPS on Trump family
Nellie Ohr, the wife of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, is under scrutiny again. GOP lawmakers seek Ohr's opposition research on members of the Trump family, according to Fox News. In testimony to lawmakers late last year, Ohr said she gathered information during the 2016 campaign about President Trump, his wife Melania Trump, and his children for Fusion GPS, the same opposition research firm that was paid by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign for British ex-spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier. Ohr testified in December that she was tasked with researching the Trump family "broadly in connection with any - any Russian connections." She said she investigated family members' foreign travel, but claimed her research lacked "depth," and claimed her goal was to "see whether they were involved in dealings and transactions with people who had suspicious pasts, or suspicious types of dealings." At the time, Ohr said she was still in possession of her research and indicated she might be willing to share it with the committee. Fox News reached out to her lawyer with questions about the records. A response has not yet been published.
Ohr's husband Bruce is believed to have acted as an unofficial back channel between the FBI and Steele. He was demoted when it was revealed he met with Steele and Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of Fusion GPS. Steele's dossier, which contained unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia, has been a subject of concern for GOP lawmakers, particularly for how it was used by the FBI in Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant applications to gain the authority to spy on onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Both Ohrs testified last year to a joint task force of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees that were investigating decisions made by the Justice Department and FBI surrounding the 2016 election. In his congressional testimony, Bruce Ohr also told lawmakers his wife shared a thumb drive with him to hand over to the FBI. Nellie Ohr also testified that she met with Steele the day before the FBI launched its Trump-Russia investigation at a hotel in Washington, D.C.
Rep. Mark Meadows, a Republican from North Carolina, sent a criminal referral addressed to Attorney General William Barr earlier this year, citing concerns that Nellie Ohr "knowingly provided false testimony" to lawmakers. Barr is overseeing a review, led by U.S. Attorney John Durham, of the origins of the Russia investigation.

Trump Admin Tackles Rising Anti-Semitism
Day-long confab brings senior admin officials, experts together to combat Jew hatred
The Trump administration is working on multiple fronts to investigate and combat a rising tide of anti-Semitism in America that top officials warned is spreading across the country via a network of far left, anti-Israel activists, who seek to mainstream hatred against Jews at the nation's college campuses and elsewhere.
During a daylong conference, the first of its kind for this administration, senior administration officials from across the government gathered with legal experts and scholars to address the growing threat of anti-Semitism, which has resurged in America and across the globe in recent years.
The forum comes amid disclosures by the FBI that hate crimes in the U.S. have risen steadily since 2014, with anti-Jewish hate crimes consistently comprising more than half of totals for each year.
Organized by the Justice Department, senior Trump administration officials from the Education, Treasury, and State Departments joined together to discuss a range of actions the government is taking to prevent federal dollars from being spent on college programs that seek to mainstream anti-Israel ideologies.
The Education Department has already launched a formal investigation into how nearly $250,000 in federal grant dollars were awarded to Duke and the University of North Carolina for a series of events that featured speakers and organizations tied to not just anti-Semites, but also known terror organizations.
Officials provided disturbing information about the uptick in anti-Jewish violence across the U.S.
"Far too often, Jews and Jewish communities in America suffer outside the spotlight," Attorney General William Barr said as he kicked off the event. "New York City, this past year, has seen a sharp uptick in attacks on Orthodox Jews, particularly in the Crown Heights neighborhood. People are attacking Jews in the streets and vandalizing synagogues. In Massachusetts in March, vandals desecrated 59 gravestones in a Jewish cemetery, knocking over headstones and scrawling swastikas and hateful graffiti."
"I ask you, who are your targets?" Lewin asked rhetorically. "Pro-Israel Zionists."

Trump officials headline conference focusing on the 'new antisemitism'
U.S. Attorney General William Barr called anti-Semitism a "cancer" at a Department of Justice summit on the topic.
WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General William Barr called anti-Semitism a "cancer" at a Department of Justice summit on the topic notable for its focus on anti-Israel activity and for speeches by the top leaders of the departments of Education, the Treasury and the FBI.
Monday's Summit on Combating Anti-Semitism, held at the DOJ headquarters here, featured panel discussions and an audience of about 150, mostly men representing various Jewish organizations and government agencies that deal with some aspect of hate crimes and civil rights.
The conference was bracketed by speeches by Barr and three other top officials of the Trump administration: Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Elan Carr, the State Department's Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating anti-Semitism, said the lineup was a sign of how seriously the administration is taking what he called a "time of striking growth in anti-Semitism around the globe." He said that growth extends from Europe to the United States, "where vandalism in New York and other cities, according to the Anti-Defamation League, occurs on a fairly regular basis, and campuses have become hostile places for Jewish and pro-Israel students."
Anti-Israel activity - at colleges and by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement targeting Israel - was perhaps the major theme of the summit, with two of the four panels largely devoted to aspects of the topic: "Anti-Semitism on Campus" and "Combating Anti-Semitism While Respecting the First Amendment."
Carr noted at least three sources of present-day anti-Semitism: the "white supremacist far right," the "anti-Zionist far left" and "radical Islam."
But he drew particular attention to what he called "the new anti-Semitism," which he said "attempts to disguise its Jew hatred as hatred for the state of Israel and the anti-Zionist endeavor."
DeVos said that "BDS stands for anti-Semitism." She described her department's investigations into incidents of alleged discrimination aimed at pro-Israel students at Williams College in Massachusetts and at a pro-Palestinian event sponsored by departments at Duke University and University of North Carolina. She also invoked President Donald Trump's decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, as did Mnuchin, as a sign of U.S. support for Israel.

The complaint also mentions an interesting development in my ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the FBI. The feds claimed they had no information pertaining to Seth Rich, but they appear to be changing their tune. Shortly after Attorney General William Barr announced plans to declassify documents related to the Russian Collusion Hoax, the FBI's attorney informed me that new documents were being processed. I should receive them not later than July 22, 2019. The DNC's objections to our subpoenas for "Russian hacking' information are also due on July 22, 2019, and production is due on August 8, 2019.
The more I've reviewed the Seth Rich case, the more I'm convinced of its central role in the whole Russian Collusion Hoax. I believe DNC officials knew that the emails would become public as the result of an internal leak, and they knew that the emails would be very damaging, so they attempted to turn the tables by pointing fingers at Donald Trump and the Russians. Hopefully we will know more by next week.

Stricter Asylum Rules: Immigrants Must Apply In First Safe Country They Enter
By Sara Carter -July 15, 2019
The Department of Justice announced a new immigration rule Monday that will restrict illegal immigrants from countries, other than those bordering the United States, for applying for asylum first in the U.S. if they have attempted "to enter the United States across the southern border after failing to apply for protection in a third country." For example, the rule would not allegedly apply to Mexicans, whose first safe country is America.
Attorney General William Barr authorized the change in the rules under the Department of Homeland Security, as an effort to curtail the humanitarian crisis at the border and deter those abusing the current law from the dangerous trek to the United States.
The new rule has very limited exceptions and will go into effect 30 days from Monday. It will not apply to those potential immigrants who've already applied for asylum, the rule states.

The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump
BY TODD NEIKIRK May 4 2019
This, however, was not the first connection between Barr and his family and the disgraced pedophile. In 1973, Barr's father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattan's Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.
While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New York's prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age.

How Jeffrey Epstein Made His Money: Four Wild Theories
'''Billionaire Pedophile is a word that's often thrown around when discussing Jeffrey Epstein, but unlike some of his other common modifiers - convicted sex offender, pedophile - there's scant proof as to his financial bona fides. The bulk of Epstein's wealth is believed to come from his money-management firm for ten-figure investors, although his only known client is Victoria's Secret founder Les Wexner, who reportedly ditched Epstein over a decade ago.
After sex-trafficking charges were handed down on Monday, executive-suite financiers discussed how absent Epstein was from the field: "He's supposed to run an enormous FX [foreign-exchange] trading firm," said Enrique Diaz-Alvarez, chief risk officer at Ebury. "But I never once heard of him or his firm or anyone who worked or traded with him." And as Forbes wrote in a 2010 blog post with a very direct title - "Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein Is Not a Billionaire" - his money-management firm based in the U.S. Virgin Islands "generates no public records, nor has his client list ever been released."
As we wait for more information to emerge in the investigation's coming months, speculation is pouring out on how Epstein made his wealth. To make up for the lack of public information on his revenue stream, people are turning to unverified theories on how Epstein maintained such a sterling financial reputation in addition to his millions. But first we'll start with the knowns.
According to a 2002 profile in New York - the one with the Trump quote - Epstein dropped out of Cooper Union and NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences before finding a job teaching calculus and physics at the Dalton School in the mid-1970s. Epstein was hired at the prestigious Manhattan college-prep institution by the father of Attorney General William Barr, and his students included the son of Bear Stearns chairman Alan Greenberg. In 1976, Epstein joined Bear as a floor trader's assistant, making partner in a mere four years. By 1981, he was out, setting up the J. Epstein & Co. money-management business the next year. New York described his business strategy in 2002:
He would take total control of the billion dollars, charge a flat fee, and assume power of attorney to do whatever he thought was necessary to advance his client's financial cause. And he remained true to the $1 billion entry fee. According to people who know him, if you were worth $700 million and felt the need for the services of Epstein and Co., you would receive a not-so-polite no-thank-you from Epstein.

Is This Project Mayhem Or Project Epstein?
Only Donald Trump knows…
From the moment I heard Jeffrey Epstein had been arrested I knew none of us had anything close to the real story. And, by the time this is over, I don't think we'll have anything close to the real story either.
That shouldn't, however, keep us from picking through the bread crumbs and see where they lead us. I wrote previously that I thought this story would lead to Hillary Clinton. The MAGA crowd loved that.
Regardless of whether Hillary winds up being the target is irrelevant. What I wrote the other day I still feel is the most likely situation.
I was cautiously optimistic that Trump would turn the corner on his presidency now that Mueller, impeachment and the rest of it would lift from his shoulders. His foreign policy maneuvers didn't fill me with much, if any, confirmation of this hope.
But domestically signs were there that he had stabilized the battlefield.
Epstein's arrest tells me he's now out for blood.
That was, frankly, my gut instinct talking when I wrote that. It fit the sequence of events and the changes we've seen in D.C. over the past four months since Attorney General William Barr shut down the Mueller investigation.
What was done to Trump went far beyond egregious. It went far beyond even lawlessness. It was an operation that spanned multiple governments, showed complete contempt not only for procedure but the people themselves.
It was, in short, a supremely arrogant attempted coup that expected to get away with it all because they always had in the past. It was also amatuerish as hell.
The reason I've never believed any of the arguments that Trump is simply a bait and switch pitch man for the Deep State is because that description defies reality.
It doesn't pass Occam's Razor. The people Jeffrey Epstein represents hate Trump holding power because they have nothing of substance on him. Sure he's bribed building contractors or paid off unions to get his buildings finished. Whatever.
No one other than the squeakiest of wheels would get upset over that. Everyone accepts that to do business in a corrupt world like New York you swim with some of it because that's simply how things are done, like it or not.
But using fourteen-year-old girls as blackmail agents and prostitutes to run guns, drugs, topple governments and steal weapons research is another level of corruption. It's orders of magnitude worse. And to Trump's credit it seems like he's never dabbled in that particular thing.
Because if he had, he would never have become President and the Deep State would have never organized a coup attempt against him.
Occam's Razor, folks. They don't have anything of substance on him. At best they've got a few pictures of him at an Epstein party and then he's gone.
Watch a few minutes of this report by George Webb and tell me this doesn't sound exactly like what we've been presented as evidence that Trump is one of Epstein's perverts.

Curiosities -
At age 20, Jeffrey Epstein was hired to teach maths & physics to teen-age girls & boys, at Manhattan's Dalton School for 1973-75 ... The headmaster who hired Epstein, was Donald Barr (1921-2004), father of Donald Trump's current Attorney General William Barr (born 1950) ... William Barr at that time working for the CIA, 1973-77, & gong to law school at night ... Barr later working for the Kirkland & Ellis law firm ... whose clients included Jeffrey Epstein
Prosecuting Epstein in New York, is US Assistant Attorney Maurene Comey, daughter of scandal-tainted former FBI Director and Hillary Clinton partisan James Comey, who had been fired by Donald Trump
In 1988 Epstein filed a financial statement giving his net worth as only US $20 million ... he is a billionaire now? How? His fortune is a black box ever since Epstein left Bear Stearns in 1981 to start his own firm
The Epstein money source seems to be Leslie H. 'Les' Wexner (born 1937), billionaire founder of retail chains including The Limited and the chief executive of the company that owns Victoria's Secret ... Wexner was named in the 1990s by the Wall Street Journal, as lead in a group of about 20 ultra-pro-Israel Jewish billionaires the 'Mega Group'
Wexner bought the Manhattan mansion in which Epstein now lives, which police raided the other day ... it was showing as still belonging to Wexner's trust even after Epstein said he bought it
Alex Acosta, now Trump's cabinet Labor Secretary & the US federal prosecutor who in 2008, granted Jeffrey Epstein his 'sweet deal' for a light sentence despite horrendous under-age sex trafficking charges - Claims he was ordered to go easy on Epstein to benefit 'intelligence' agencies, un-named
Epstein's longtime 'best friend' who allegedly helped him procure underage girls, is Ghislaine Maxwell ... daughter of 'Israeli super-spy' Robert Maxwell
People are speculating Les Wexner, financed & created 'Epstein the billionaire' and the whole 'underage girls' scheme, in order to 'honeypot blackmail' poiticians who were filmed by Epstein residence cameras
Daily Beast reports an early 1990s party with about '28 girls' and only two major rich guy attendees - Trump & Epstein
Seems Epstein's once-lawyer, Alan Dershowtiz, sabotaged him, Dersh going to court to demand unsealing Epstein files, Dersh said to 'exonerate himself' ... Dersh won that on 2 July, Epstein arrested 4 days later
The 'raid on Epstein's home' this week was weird ... police 'breaking down the door'? That 21,000 square foot palace has full-time, 24 / 7 live-in servants, who surely would have answered the door for the police when they rang the bell ... and then we saw 'police agents' in grubby civilian clothes taking out cheap black rubbish bags ... in the most high-profile 'crime case' in America?

Pelosi urges Democrats: 'No drama' at Mueller hearings
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cautioned Democrats to show "a level of calmness" at next week's highly anticipated appearance by former special counsel Robert Mueller, who will testify before two committees on July 17. "As we go into next week, I'd like to have a level of calmness, no drama, regarding the Mueller presentation," Pelosi told rank-and-file Democrats at a closed-door meeting Thursday. "The very fact that he is presenting is what we want, so many more people will be aware of the charges that are in the Mueller report."
Mueller is scheduled to testify before both the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee. Each panel is expected to have approximately two hours to grill Mueller about his 448-page report into whether the Trump 2016 presidential campaign colluded with the Russians. Democrats are unhappy with the time constraints, which have forced the committee leaders to limit who can ask questions and for how long. They also have a history of theatrics. At a recent hearing featuring no-show Attorney General William Barr, Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., positioned a bucket of fried chicken on the desk in front of the empty witness chair. Democrats recently held a hearing featuring an ex-convict from the Watergate scandal in an effort to link it to the Trump administration.
Pelosi told Democrats to avoid such a show. She said that Mueller's mere presence will provide more exposure to the public about the report, which was publicly released on April 18. "It is valuable" to have Mueller talk about the report in public, Pelosi said, "Because 3% of the public say they've read it, which means it's polling like .03% of the public. It is devastating, it is pointing out how the president has obstructed justice really so many times." Democrats are eager to question Mueller about Trump's efforts to obstruct his investigation, which Mueller references several times in part of the report. Republicans want to question Mueller about his handling of the investigation and when he determined that there is no substantive evidence Trump colluded with the Russians.

Boeing's 737 Max Chief Retiring As AG Barr Recuses Himself From Boeing Probe
Another day, another fiasco at the biggest US airline carrier, and this time it is oddly reminiscent of the conditions surrounding the melting ice-cube that is Tesla.
With Boeing's workhorse and most popular airline - at least until recently when it was unveiled to be an occasional cost-cutting driven lead balloon - grounded indefinitely, moments after the close the company said that the head of its 737 program, Eric Lindblad, was unexpectedly retiring after just one year in the post, triggering a leadership shuffle for another high-profile project: a proposed midrange jetliner.
The 34-year Boeing executive took charge of the 737 program, and the manufacturing site in Renton, Washington, last year as the U.S. planemaker struggled with late deliveries of engines and other components. Previously, Lindblad overrsaw development of Boeing's new 777X widebody in Everett. His predecessor, Scott Campbell, vice president and general manager of the 737 program and Renton site leader, retired at the end of the year after three decades at Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
According to the company, Lidnblad's retirement isn't related to the crisis at Boeing after two of its Max models crashed in October and March, triggering a global grounding.
Lindblad, 57, "shared with me his desire to retire last year, and we will now begin to embark on a thoughtful and seamless transition plan," Kevin McAllister, who runs the planemaker's $60 billion commercial division said in a message to employees Thursday.
In other words, just another guy who wanted to spend more time with his family.
In his stead, Boeing's single-aisle program will be run by Mark Jenks, who previously headed all aspects of a proposed aircraft known within Boeing as NMA, for new midmarket airplane.
In separate news, Attorney General William Barr said he would recuse himself from the DOJ's investigation into Boeing Co BA.N after two 737 MAX airplane crashes killed 346 people, a spokeswoman for Barr said Thursday. Bloomberg News reported on Thursday that Barr has recused himself because his former law firm is representing Boeing. Reuters and other outlets reported in March that federal prosecutors aided by the FBI were scrutinizing the development of the 737 MAX jetliners. Boeing did not immediately commen

Committees set times for Mueller testimony
Special counsel Robert Mueller's anticipated testimony in front of two congressional committees is set. The House Judiciary Committee has formally noticed Mueller's testimony, which will begin at 9 a.m. Wednesday. Mueller will then appear before the House Intelligence Committee beginning at noon. Democratic Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler of New York and Democratic Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California announced in June that "pursuant to subpoenas issued by the House Judiciary and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence tonight, Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has agreed to testify before both Committees on July 17 in open session."
Mueller agreeing to testify is a stark contrast with the position he took at his only public appearance since the end of his investigation. "I hope and expect this to be the only time I will speak to you in this manner," Mueller said in May. "I am making that decision myself. No one has told me whether I can or should testify or speak further about this matter."
Mueller's report concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election but did not establish that any members of the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians in these efforts. Mueller did not reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice, but Attorney General William Barr and then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded that obstruction did not occur.
Earlier this week, Barr seemed to offer Mueller a way out of testifying. "I don't think that serves any purpose, dragging Bob Mueller up, if he, in fact, is going to stick to the report. It seems to me the only reason for doing that is to create some kind of public spectacle. And if Bob decides that he doesn't want to be subject to that, then Department of Justice would certainly back him," Barr told reporters.

House to hold criminal contempt votes next week against William Barr, Wilbur Ross
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House will vote next week on criminal contempt citations against Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee advanced the contempt citations last month after Barr and Ross failed to comply with subpoenas requested by committee Chairman Elijah Cummings of Maryland.
Democrats and the Trump administration are feuding over Trump's desire to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census. The Supreme Court ruled the question cannot be included but Trump has pledged to take executive action to circumvent the high court. The Democratic-led House is likely to approve the contempt citations against the two men. The citations would be referred to the Justice Department where they are likely to be rejected.

Jeffrey Epstein's Ties to Clinton, and His Questionable Source of Wealth
While media focus on Trump, larger questions remain about Epstein's finances and ties to Bill Clinton
Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on July 6 after landing at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey upon his return from a trip to France. Epstein was previously indicted in 2007 on charges he abused underage girls, but reached a controversial plea deal, in which he served only 13 months in a low-security facility that allowed him to work from his office each day.
Epstein now faces federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking that may lead to him spending the rest of his life in prison. DOJ officials have indicated that they expect the charges against Epstein to expand as they delve further into the case. Attorney General William Barr has said he will not recuse himself from the newly opened Epstein case, although he "will remain recused from any retrospective review" of Epstein's earlier case in Florida.
Questions surrounding Epstein have existed for a long time, including the source of his wealth and his relationship to former President Bill Clinton, who, according to flight logs, flew on Epstein's personal jet 26 times.
Trump's Plane Flight to New York City
Much of the mainstream media has chosen to focus on President Donald Trump's past social ties to Epstein. In 2002, Trump was quoted in an article from New York Magazine, which was one of the first publications to profile Epstein following a well-publicized trip he took to Africa with Clinton:
"'I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,' Trump booms from a speakerphone. 'He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life.'"
This quote, along with a plane flight that Trump took on one of Epstein's planes, has been used to portray the president as being close to Epstein. But a closer examination highlights how this characterization is likely inaccurate.
In a Sept. 21, 2009, deposition of Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, the plane flight that involved Trump was specifically discussed. Mark Epstein was asked if he had ever met Donald Trump and allowed that he had one time-on a flight from Florida to New York aboard the smaller of Jeffrey Epstein's planes:
Mark Epstein: "We flew up on my brother's plane from Florida together. Donald was on the plane."
Q: "When?"
Mark Epstein: "Somewhere between 5 and 10 years ago."
Q: "Okay. So we are talking about -"
Mark Epstein: "It's either late '90's early 2000. Probably more like late '90's."
Q: "Was that the only time you've met Donald Trump?"
Mark Epstein: "Yes."
As mentioned, the flight took place on Jeffrey Epstein's smaller plane-not the larger 727 that has been dubbed the "Lolita Express":
Q: "Was this one of the big planes, the 727?"
Mark Epstein: "No. It wasn't that one, no."
Q: "Okay. How many people were on this airplane?"
Mark Epstein: "It was my brother, myself, Donald, the pilot the co-pilot."

Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley have sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray, demanding an update on the investigation into possible violations regarding the sale of aborted fetal tissue by Planned Parenthood and its partners in the biomedical research industry.
According to a press release, Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Graham (SC) and his predecessor Grassley (IA), current chairman of the Committee on Finance, wrote to Barr and Wray Tuesday, seeking an update on the federal investigation that was supposedly launched in 2017.
"Preventing the illegal sale of human fetal tissue remains a priority for the Committee," the letter stated. "In furtherance of the Committee's ongoing oversight of this issue, the Committee asks that you answer the following questions no later than July 2, 2019."
Graham and Grassley requested answers to these questions:
Has the FBI taken any action on the criminal referrals submitted by then-Chairman Grassley?
If the FBI has taken action, please provide an update to the Committee.
If the FBI has not taken action, please explain the justification for not doing so.
Are there any other investigative updates related to this matter that the FBI can share with the Committee at this time?"
In December 2017, Stephen Boyd, Justice Department assistant attorney general for Legislative Affairs, formally requested unredacted documents from the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation into allegations that Planned Parenthood and its partners in biomedical companies engaged in the sale of the body parts of aborted babies for profit.
Boyd wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News:
The Department of Justice appreciates the offer of assistance in obtaining these materials, and would like to request the Committee provide unredacted copies of records contained in the report, in order to further the Department's ability to conduct a thorough and comprehensive assessment of that report based on the full range of information available.
"At this point, the records are intended for investigative use only-we understand that a resolution from the Senate may be required if the Department were to use any of the unredacted materials in a formal legal proceeding, such as a grand jury," he added.
In September 2017, the FBI's assistant director of the Office of Congressional Affairs sent a letter to Grassley informing him the agency was in receipt of the Senate Judiciary Committee's criminal referrals of Planned Parenthood and its partners in the fetal tissue procurement industry.
"We can confirm the Criminal Investigative Division (CID) of FBI Headquarters received your referrals and sent them to the relevant FBI field offices for review and whatever action is deemed appropriate," the FBI's Gregory Brower also wrote to Grassley in June 2017.
In his correspondence, Brower apologized to Grassley "for the delay in responding to [his] inquiry" and indicated receipt of the chairman's letter, dated April 24, to both former FBI Director James Comey and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions "concerning criminal referrals [he] made on December 13, 2016, to the FBI and Department of Justice."
Both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives conducted expansive investigations into Planned Parenthood and its partners in the biomedical procurement industry. The investigations concerned allegations of the sale of fetal body parts for profit that arose from an undercover video series exposé by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), led by journalist David Daleiden.

Q Research General #8923: Who Posted The Picture Edition
DOJ inspector general reviewed more than 1 million records and conducted more than 100 interviews in FISA abuse investigation
A newly uncovered letter from the Justice Department's inspector general to Congress revealed the DOJ watchdog has "received and reviewed over one million records" and has "conducted over 100 interviews, including current and former DOJ and FBI personnel" during its inquiry into alleged abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Michael Horowitz, the head of the DOJ's Office of Inspector General, sent the letter in late June to the chairman and ranking members of the Senate Judiciary and Senate Homeland Security committees, as well as to the chairman and ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees. The letter, first obtained by the Daily Caller, explained that his investigators "have made substantial progress towards completing the review."
Horowitz and his team have been looking into whether the FBI and the DOJ abused the FISA process when they filed four applications and renewals beginning in October 2016 to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The applications relied heavily on the unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who was hired by Fusion GPS. The opposition research firm was hired by Marc Elias of the Perkins Coie law firm at the behest of the Clinton presidential campaign. "The [Office of Inspector General] has been working diligently on this review since its initiation on March 28, 2018," Horowitz wrote. "As in all of our projects, my direction to our team has been to follow the evidence wherever it leads and to complete the review as quickly as possible."
Horowitz's letter also said that his team had been working to meet with "additional witnesses" to make sure that their effort was "thorough and complete." New reports from earlier on Tuesday indicated that the DOJ watchdog's attorneys had met with Steele in London earlier in June and had found at least some of Steele's information new and useful. The reports indicated that Horowitz may have extended the probe as a result of what it learned from Steele. Attorney General William Barr said earlier this year that he'd expected this inquiry to wrap up in May or June. "The review has been complicated by other factors, such as the current classification level of virtually all of the information we have obtained and the fact that many witnesses are no longer government employees," Horowitz continued in his letter. "Nevertheless, our investigative work is nearing completion, and we have been in the process of drafting our report for some time." Horowitz told the members of Congress that, when his draft report is done, he will follow the "usual process" to make sure the document is accurate, complete, and appropriately classified. And the DOJ watchdog said he planned on letting them know about the timeline for the release of the final report "in the coming weeks." Horowitz had reportedly been homing in on Steele for months, and sources close to Steele expressed his willingness to meet with Horowitz in June. Special counsel Robert Mueller's team reportedly met with Steele twice in September 2017, and Steele also provided a written statement to the Senate Intelligence Committee in August 2018.

Judge refuses to allow DOJ to change lawyers in census case
A federal judge in New York refused the Justice Department's effort to change its legal team in a fight over President Trump's push to add a question about citizenship status onto the 2020 census because they did not provide a sufficient explanation. "Defendants provide no reasons, let alone 'satisfactory reasons,' for the substitution of counsel," wrote U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman, who is presiding over one of three lawsuits that aim to keep to the citizenship question off the census.
Furman said any future motions to withdraw would need to be supported by a signed and sworn affidavit. "Any new motions to withdraw shall be supported by a signed and sworn affidavit from each counsel seeking to withdraw (1) stating 'satisfactory reasons' for withdrawing at this stage of the litigation and (2) in light of Plaintiffs' forthcoming motion for sanctions … confirming that (a) he or she submits to the jurisdiction of this Court with respect to that motion and any future motions (or orders to show cause) regarding sanctions and (b) he or she will be available in the event that the Court requires his or her attendance at any future hearings regarding such motions or orders. In the event any new motion is filed, new counsel for Defendants shall also file an affidavit providing unequivocal assurances that the substitution of counsel will not delay further litigation of this case (or any future related case)," Furman wrote.
The decision comes one day after Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec announced the DOJ was switching up its legal team in the census legal fight. "As will be reflected in filings tomorrow in the census-related cases, the Department of Justice is shifting these matters to a new team of Civil Division lawyers going forward," Kupec said in a statement. "Since these cases began, the lawyers representing the United States in these cases have given countless hours to defending the Commerce Department and have consistently demonstrated the highest professionalism, integrity, and skill inside and outside the courtroom," Kupec said. "The Attorney General appreciates that service, thanks them for their work on these important matters, and is confident that the new team will carry on in the same exemplary fashion as the cases progress."
The attempt by the Justice and Commerce departments to add the question was struck down by a recent 5-4 Supreme Court decision. After the Supreme Court blocked what it called "contrived" efforts to add the citizenship question, it looked like the Trump administration had given up on it, with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and the DOJ saying last week that the Census Bureau would print the forms without the question. But Trump tweeted that he'd asked the Commerce and Justice departments "to do whatever is necessary to bring this most vital of questions, and this very important case, to a successful conclusion."
Soon after the DOJ announced it was bringing in a new legal team, Attorney General William Barr boasted of a new legal strategy for adding a question about citizenship status onto the 2020 census. "I think over the next day or two you'll see what approach we're taking," Barr told reporters in South Carolina on Monday. "And I think it does provide a pathway for getting the question on the census."

Nancy Pelosi says Trump wants to 'make America white again' with citizenship question
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sharply criticized President Trump's repeated efforts to have a question about citizenship on the 2020 census. Pelosi claimed in a Monday press conference that Trump's insistence on adding the question was "disgraceful" and that he wants to "make America white again." The president has been outspoken in his advocacy of having the question on the upcoming census claiming that it would serve to protect minority voters, an idea that has been rejected by his opposition. Many congressional Democrats have fought to keep the question off as they feel it could discourage immigrants from participating in the census, therefore weakening the amount of money communities could be entitled to based on population.
Pelosi further accused the president and his administration of malicious intent saying, "They want to make sure that people, certain people, are counted … Just their people vote and not the general population … That's why they're fighting the census." Pelosi further claimed the question was "not what our founders had in mind.'
The Supreme Court blocked the administration's measure to have the question added last month, returning the decision to lower courts. In the decision, Chief Justice John Roberts cited a lack of evidence presented by the Commerce Department for adding the question but left open the possibility that the question could be added if the correct justification is made. Attorney General William Barr also indicated on Monday that there could be a new way for the Justice Department to add the question. The latest Economist/YouGov poll found that the majority of Americans, 53%, want the citizenship question on the census while only 32% opposed the idea.

Trump 'dossier' author grilled by Justice Department watchdogs: sources
(Reuters) - Federal lawyers probing the origins of the investigation of ties between Russia and President Donald Trump's campaign have interviewed the author of a "dossier" that alleged misconduct between Trump and Moscow, prompting the lawyers to extend their inquiry.
Three attorneys from the Inspector General's office of the U.S. Department of Justice met in person in early June with dossier author Christopher Steele in Britain, said two sources with direct knowledge of the lawyers' travels.
The interview with Steele, a former top spy on Russia for Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, took place while Trump was in London for a formal state visit with Queen Elizabeth and a meeting with UK Prime Minister Theresa May.
Steele's dossier, made public in 2017, alleged that Moscow attempted to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and that there was potential collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign, along with other unverified and salacious claims about the president.
The Justice Department's inspector general has been examining the earliest stages of an FBI investigation of Trump, his former 2016 presidential campaign rival Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Russia and former Trump adviser Carter Page.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz, whose office is an internal Justice Department watchdog, launched his probe in March 2018 amid allegations by Republican lawmakers that the FBI erred in seeking a warrant to monitor Page.
Trump has described the Steele dossier as "bogus" and Republicans have long sought to discredit the FBI's investigation, which was later taken over by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller. His final report on Russia and the Trump campaign was released in redacted form in mid-April.
In that same month, Attorney General William Barr, who now heads the Justice Department, told a congressional committee that the Horowitz probe would be completed by May or June.
One of the two sources said Horowitz's investigators appear to have found Steele's information sufficiently credible to have to extend the investigation. Its completion date is now unclear.
A key focus of the Horowitz probe is whether the FBI followed proper procedures when it applied for a warrant with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to secretly conduct surveillance on Page and his ties to Russia.
Declassified documents show that the FBI cited information in Steele's dossier when it asked the secretive FISA court in late 2016 for a warrant to eavesdrop electronically on Page, a U.S. businessman with interests in Russia.
Horowitz's office in Washington declined to comment.
A spokesman for Orbis Business Intelligence, Steele's London investigations firm, declined to comment.
UK government agencies declined to disclose whether they were in contact with Horowitz's team in London.
Moscow repeatedly rejected accusations of interfering in the election.
Mueller's report, released on April 18, said that Russia did meddle in the election in an attempt to boost Trump's candidacy. It said Trump campaign officials had multiple contacts with Russian officials. But it found insufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between the campaign and Moscow.
The report also described numerous attempts by Trump to impede Mueller's inquiry, but it stopped short of declaring that he committed a crime. Mueller during his inquiry brought charges against 34 people, including Russian agents and ex-Trump aides.
Page, a foreign policy adviser during Trump's campaign, drew scrutiny from the FBI, which said in legal filings in 2016 that it believed he had been "collaborating and conspiring" with the Kremlin. But he was not charged.
Investigators working for Mueller in September 2017 twice interviewed Steele, who also gave written testimony to the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee in August 2018. That panel and other committees of Congress have taken up where Mueller left off after his investigation ended.

Trey Gowdy dishes on 'Mueller's out' in public hearing
Former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy warned people not to get their hopes up for special counsel Robert Mueller's open testimony next week. During an interview Monday evening, Gowdy discouraged hype on the Right for what might be uncovered related to the Russia investigation after discussing the July 17 hearing with Rep. John Ratcliffe, a leading GOP investigator on both the Judiciary and Intelligence committees, which are hosting the event.
"I think what he is going to say on that, and John Ratcliffe and I were discussing it over the weekend. I think what he's going to say, 'That is not what Rod Rosenstein asked me to do. I did what the acting DOJ [attorney general] he asked me to do, which is look at - go back to Rod's memo. What did Russia do in 2016? And then a specific reference to the Trump campaign,'" Gowdy said on Fox News, referring to scope memos that outline the breadth and limitations of the special counsel's mandate. "I think that is Mueller's out," he added. "His out on when did you know there was no collusion is going to be when we interviewed the last witness. So Mueller does not want to come. He does not want to come because he's not going to deviate from his report."
Mueller's report, released in April with redactions, shows his team was not able to establish criminal conspiracy between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, but left open the question of possible obstruction of justice. The report laid out 10 instances in which Trump might have obstructed justice, but Mueller declined to make a determination on the matter, citing a Justice Department guideline that sitting presidents cannot be indicted. Although Trump and his allies say the case is closed, Democrats argue Mueller's refusal to clear Trump on obstruction provides them a road map to continue to investigate and possibly seek impeachment. Attorney General William Barr said he and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined there was not sufficient evidence to establish a crime had occurred.
Gowdy, who has been critical of the public setting of the hearing, also tamped down expectations for Democrats eager to ask "incendiary questions" about obstruction and impeachment. "You are not going to learn anything next Wednesday that you don't already know," he said on Hannity.

Q
Don't pretend you or Trump had anything to do with the Epstein case. Cernovich got this done. The fact that he did get it done, a twitter blogger, while Trump has done nothing, just goes to show how utterly useless Trump's DOJ really is. The case is a whitewash, and is not going after anything Epstein did on the Island, and the indictment will include nothing on the Clintons, the Royals, or anyone else involved or blackmailed. It will be completely covered up because Trump is a faggot, just like his new AG, who is as big a coward as the old AG.

The case is a whitewash, and is not going after anything Epstein did on the Island, and the indictment will include nothing on the Clintons, the Royals, or anyone else involved or blackmailed. It will be completely covered up because Trump is a faggot, just like his new AG, who is as big a coward as the old AG.
And yes, I will be copypasta-ing this into the next thread, so suck my balls if you don't like it.

William Barr recused himself from Jeffrey Epstein case
Attorney General William Barr revealed Monday he recused himself from the Justice Department's prosecution of alleged child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested over the weekend and formally charged that morning.
"I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time," Barr told reporters in Southern Carolina.
The new deputy attorney general, Jeffrey Rosen, also previously worked at Kirkland & Ellis, and it's unclear whether he will have to recuse himself from the case as well. Normally, when the attorney general recuses himself, the deputy attorney general would take over the specific matter. The Washington Examiner reached out to the DOJ to see if Rosen would also be recusing himself and, if so, who at the Justice Department would ultimately be overseeing the Epstein case.

WITNESS OUTSIDE OF FBI/DOJ COMES FORWARD AFTER Barr ORDERED SEPARATE INVESTIGATION
ALL PLANNED
Key witnesses sought for questioning by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz early in his investigation into alleged government surveillance abuse have come forward at the 11th hour, Fox News has learned.
Sources familiar with the matter said at least one witness outside the Justice Department and FBI started cooperating – a breakthrough that came after Attorney General William Barr ordered U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of the bureau's 2016 Russia case that laid the
foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.

William Barr Reveals He Recused Himself from Jeffrey Esptein Case. Here's the Reason He Gave.

Q Research General #8902: Tarmac Meetings_END Edition
Fellow Anons,
I tried to use my logical thinking from which I don't know if it works. I will try to lay it out here in the best of my ability. Please keep in mind as a Dutch anon, English isn't my first language but I'll try my best.
I do not have sauce for everything as some parts of this come from my memory from what I have read the last days.
Ready?
Let's go.
>Argument 1.
- Epstein allegedely worked as informant for Mueller…?
- "We have it all" as stated by Q
- Trump + Mueller + RR + Barr + Giuliani vs The Big Five (https://quodverum.com/2019/03/75/endgame-potus-trump-s-vindication-nears.html)
>Argument 2
Unconfirmed: http://amp.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jul/8/William-Barr-ag-says-hes-recused-jeffrey-epstein-c/
"Barr worked for a law firm that represented Epstein "long ago", the report said"
Didn't Q tell us "it's harder to hit a moving target"? Is it Sessions all over?
>Argument 3
Mueller went to Trump to ask for the job of Director of FBI despite term limit. Why?
Hillary said - unconfirmed - "if he hangs we'll all hang from nooses. fix this shit"
If Mueller was truely a black hat he would have known Trump would never give him the job and he would expose himself as corrupt and would ignore "Drain The Swamp" comments from Trump: how stupid would he be? That's just as plausible as Trump cancelling an attack on Iran minutes before it happend because 'he suddenly thought of the innocent people who would die'. Makes no sense to me.
>Argument 4
Firewall - blockade
Mueller - if still in team Trump - dodged the bullets (false flags, false narratives from Dems and Fake News). Explains the crappy report he delivered.
>Argument 5:
Does this look like a farewell ceremony for somebody who knows he committed treason and is going to be screwed big time? (image 1 and 2)
youtu.be/OHTMARon-qk
>Argument 6 (not fully sure how it fits but gut feeling it does):
youtu.be/oZxJO0T79v4?t=77 ... (1:17….)
(plus image 3 and 4)
"I frequently speak about the inspiration I draw from the three aspects of the main justice building."
"The art it contains" (symbolism will be their downfall)
"The people it employs"
"The principles it represent"
>Argument 7:
Fits perfectly, right? (Also 13th letter of the alphabet is M…)
suntzusaid.com/book/13
(image 5 and 6)
>Argument 8:
You need to trust the people who you are sending to the Swamp as asset/sting op/undercover op/spy.
Imagine the amound of trust needed that your asset is not going to flip sides? Are you going to hire somebody or do you send people you worked with before and have proven their loyalty?
>Final argument:
Think mirror

Q Research General #8895: Spirit Cooking The Epstein Goose Edition
Attorney General William Barr said Monday that he sees a legal path to adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite a Supreme Court ruling that blocked its inclusion, at least temporarily.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said the Trump administration will take action in the coming days that he believes will allow the government to ask the controversial question. Barr would not detail the administration's plans, though a senior official said President Donald Trump is expected to issue a presidential memorandum to the Commerce Department instructing it to include the question.
Barr said he has been in regular contact with Trump over the issue.
"I agree with him that the Supreme Court decision was wrong," said Barr. He said he believes there is "an opportunity potentially to cure the lack of clarity that was the problem and we might as well take a shot at doing that."

Barr hired Epstein....this troll goes DEEP..should be fun to see how bait is grabbed and how it is flipped...
#mastertroll
"Apparently, the hire was a successful one. The New Yorker wrote in a 2003 profile on Epstein, "he was something of a Robin Williams-in-Dead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs." Epstein's mathematical skills caught the eye of Bear Stearns' chairman, Alan "Ace" Greenberg, whose son attended the Dalton School. Greenberg hired Epstein as an options trader and the former teacher was able to amass a fortune."

'Severe, Serious Abuses' By FBI, CIA Are 'Going To Come Out': Rep. Peter King
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) says that he's "confident" that the American people will learn of "severe, serious abuses" carried out by the FBI and CIA against President Trump and his campaign during the 2016 US election. Speaking with New York radio host an billionaire John Catsimatidis, King said "There was no legal basis at all for them to begin the investigation of his campaign," when asked about the ongoing probe by Attorney General William Barr, referring to the FBI's application for a FISA warrant to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. "Just from evidence I've seen over the last several years being on the Intelligence Committee, being a member of Congress," said King, "there's no doubt to me there were severe serious abuses that were carried out in the FBI, and I believe the top levels of the CIA."
While Democrats dispute that anything untoward took place against Trump or his campaign, Republicans have called out the FBI for relying on an unverified dossier compiled, and possibly fabricated, by a former UK spy on behalf of the Clinton campaign.
Republicans, including California Rep. Devin Nunes, claimed that federal authorities did not fully disclose their reliance on an unverified dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, which was part of opposition research for Hillary Clinton's campaign. Democrats dispute the notion that anything improper took place. They claim the dossier did not play a major role, and point to a footnote in the warrant application that acknowledged that some of the information came from research on Trump that was likely meant to hurt his campaign, even if it did not spell out exactly who paid for it. Republicans are now waiting on a report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, following an investigation of possible FBI abuses of the FISA system. Fox News has learned that key witnesses have come forward, after previously holding out. -Fox News.

Rep. Peter King: 'Severe, serious abuses' by FBI, CIA in Russia probe 'going to come out'
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said he is "confident" that when Attorney General Bill Barr concludes his investigation of the origins of the investigation of President Trump's 2016 campaign, the American people will learn that the FBI and CIA under the Obama administration engaged in foul play.
President Trump and his supporters have questioned how the investigation started in the first place, accusing the FBI of carrying it out under false pretenses. King is among those leveling such allegations.
"There was no legal basis at all for them to begin the investigation of his campaign," King said in a Friday interview with New York radio host John Catsimatidis, "and the way they carried it forward and the way information was leaked, the improper applications they filed in the FISA court to get surveillance, all of this is going to come out."
King was referring to the FBI's application for a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Republicans, including California Rep. Devin Nunes, claimed that federal authorities did not fully disclose their reliance on an unverified dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, which was part of opposition research for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Report: New Horowitz Witness, Likely Kathleen Kavalec, Agrees to Talk to IG Investigators...
Posted by sundance
In a new report Fox News journalist Catherine Herridge outlines a "reluctant witness" who has recently agreed to cooperate with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz and his review of potential FISA abuse by the Obama DOJ and FBI.
Fox News - Key witnesses sought for questioning by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz early in his investigation into alleged government surveillance abuse have come forward at the 11th hour, Fox News has learned.
Sources familiar with the matter said at least one witness outside the Justice Department and FBI started cooperating - a breakthrough that came after Attorney General William Barr ordered U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of the bureau's 2016 Russia case that laid the foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
[...] Late-breaking information is known to delay such investigations. Horowitz's office similarly encountered new evidence late in the process of the IG review into law enforcement decisions during the 2016 Hillary Clinton email investigation.
In this case, additional FISA information came to light late in the process - including October 2016 contact (first reported by The Hill and confirmed by Fox News) between a senior State Department official and a former British spy Christopher Steele, who authored the infamous and salacious anti-Trump dossier. (read more)
While the "reluctant witness" is not specifically identified by Herridge in her reporting, as you can see above there is enough background material to identify it is likely former State Department official Kathleen Kavalec.
Kathleen Kavalec was the Deputy Assistant Secretary - Department of State, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, serving under Victoria Nuland and covered Russia as part of her State Dept. duties. Kavalec was contacted by Christopher Steele prior to the FISA application on Carter Page being sought by the FBI and DOJ. Kavalic wrote a series of notes and emails to the FBI undercutting the dossier central claims made by Steele.

Report on Russia probe origins delayed as new evidence prompts deeper review
Sources tell Fox News that Justice Department inspector general is examining a senior State Department official's contact with Christopher Steele, author of the anti-Trump dossier; chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reports.
Key witnesses sought for questioning by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz early in his investigation into alleged government surveillance abuse have come forward at the 11th hour, Fox News has learned.
Sources familiar with the matter said at least one witness outside the Justice Department and FBI started cooperating – a breakthrough that came after Attorney General William Barr ordered U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of the bureau's 2016 Russia case that laid the foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
While the investigative phase of the inspector general's long-running probe is said to be complete, the sources said recent developments required some witnesses to be reinterviewed. And while Barr testified that he expected the report into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuse to be ready in May or last month, multiple sources said the timeline has slipped.
"The wheels of inspector general investigations move very, very slowly," former senior DOJ official Tom Dupree told Fox News.
Dupree, who served as deputy assistant attorney general from 2007 to 2009, does not have firsthand knowledge of the current IG case but is familiar with the process. He added, "Like any investigation, you talk to one person, something that person tells you sends you back ... to the first person, so it can be a very extensive, exhaustive process, because you are constantly picking up leads, interviewing former sources and navigating complex questions of classified information."
Late-breaking information is known to delay such investigations. Horowitz's office similarly encountered new evidence late in the process of the IG review into law enforcement decisions during the 2016 Hillary Clinton email investigation. In this case, additional FISA information came to light late in the process - including October 2016 contact (first reported by The Hill and confirmed by Fox News) between a senior State Department official and a former British spy Christopher Steele, who authored the infamous and salacious anti-Trump dossier.
CLICK HERE FOR THE FOX NEWS APP
The State Department contact with Steele was relayed to a senior FBI official. The timeline matters because about two weeks later, the FBI and DOJ used Steele's unverified research, paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign, to secure a surveillance warrant against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. At the very least, it's been argued, Steele's contact with another government agency should have been a red flag for the FBI because it may have violated his confidential human source agreement.
Steele was later fired by the FBI over his media contacts before the 2016 presidential election. The Page surveillance warrant is the central issue of the DOJ IG's review.
With the timeline for Horowitz's report not public, one of the wild cards is the final review by the FBI and DOJ, which includes classification issues and could take weeks.
A spokesman for Horowitz would not comment on the report's status. But during largely unrelated testimony in November, Horowitz offered some guidance for the timeline of the FISA abuse probe in response to questions from GOP Rep. Jim Jordan.
"What I can say is given the volume of documents we've had and the number of witnesses it looks like we'll need to interview, we are likely to be in the same sort of general range of documents and witnesses as the last report," Horowitz said, referring to his team's review of the Clinton email case. "It wouldn't surprise me if we are in that million or so plus range of documents and a hundred-ish or so interviews. The last review, as you know, took us about ... 16 months or so."
If that same guidance holds, the window for completion would begin this month, though it remains unclear how much the DOJ/FBI review and the additional interviews could delay the process.

Reluctant Witnesses in FISA Abuse Investigation Agree to Talk to Inspector General Horowitz at the 11th Hour
Key witnesses sought by DOJ IG Horowitz early on in the investigation into FISA abuses have agreed to come forward at the 11th hour.
Horowitz's report on the FISA abuses by Obama's DOJ and FBI has been delayed and according to reports the delays are due to more witnesses coming forward since Barr appointed US Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of Spygate.
Fox News previously confirmed that John Durham is working directly with Inspector General Michael Horowitz on looking at the FISA abuses.
Fox News' Catherine Herridge reported Friday that according to sources, at least one witness outside of the DOJ and FBI has just begun cooperating.
Sources familiar with the matter said at least one witness outside the Justice Department and FBI started cooperating - a breakthrough that came after Attorney General William Barr ordered U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of the bureau's 2016 Russia case that laid the foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
While the investigative phase of the inspector general's long-running probe is said to be complete, the sources said recent developments required some witnesses to be reinterviewed. And while Barr testified that he expected the report into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuse to be ready in May or last month, multiple sources said the timeline has slipped.
"The wheels of inspector general investigations move very, very slowly," former senior DOJ official Tom Dupree told Fox News.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz does not have the authority to impanel a grand jury so the real work will be done by Barr and Durham.
The media was stunned in May after it was revealed AG Bill Barr appointed top special prosecutor John Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe.
It was revealed that Barr is working closely with CIA Director Gina Haspel, Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats and FBI Director Christopher Wray on surveillance issues related to Trump's 2016 campaign, suggesting a broader inter-agency effort is underway.
Obama's corrupt FBI/DOJ used Hillary's phony Russia dossier to obtain a FISA warrant and three subsequent renewals on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
The first FISA warrant on Carter Page was granted in October of 2016, just weeks before Election Day and the 4th and final warrant was granted in June of 2017 - then-DAG Rosenstein and FBI Deputy McCabe both signed the June 2017 FISA warrant on Page, one month after Mueller was appointed as special counsel.
It is widely believed that there were also FISA warrants on General Mike Flynn, Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and Trump camp foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos, however that has not been publicly confirmed.
According to Catherine Herridge, a spokeswoman for Horowitz would not comment on the report's status, however, it is believed his report should be done this month.

Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen not yet briefed on DOJ probe into origins of Russia probe
Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said that he has yet to be briefed on the potentially volatile inquiry into possible surveillance abuses by federal authorities in the early days of the Russia investigation.
Rosen, in an interview with USA TODAY this week, said that he was unaware of the investigation's status and did not know whether it has since morphed into a criminal inquiry.
"I don't know the answer to that. I'd have to check and get back to you. I hear it described as an inquiry. I don't want to say something that won't be accurate. So let me defer on that one. "
The Justice Department later declined to elaborate. But Rosen's deference on such a high-profile matter underscored the extreme close-hold on an inquiry launched by Attorney General William Barr and now managed by Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham.
It also highlights how Rosen, more than a month following his confirmation, has so far assumed a role largely out of the public eye in a stark departure from his predecessor, Rod Rosenstein, whose rocky two-year tenure was defined by his management of the Russia investigation and former Justice special counsel Robert Mueller.
John Durham: Attorney general taps top Connecticut federal prosecutor for review of Trump-Russia inquiry
"It (the surveillance inquiry) started before I arrived," Rosen said, adding that he was "not currently" being briefed on it. "I had some generalized awareness, but I'm not meeting regularly with Mr. Durham."
In April, Barr startled some lawmakers when he disclosed that he was reviewing the FBI's use of surveillance involving associates of President Donald Trump during the presidential campaign as authorities sought to understand Russia's interference efforts. At the time, Barr said he did not know whether officials had done anything wrong, though the review's disclosure was instantly cheered by some Republicans and Trump who has long disparaged Mueller's work as a "witch hunt."
"Spying on a campaign is a big deal," Barr told a Senate panel then. "I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was adequately predicated."
In May, the attorney general injected new urgency into that review when he tapped Durham, a long-time federal prosecutor, to review the "genesis and the conduct" of the FBI's investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Durham's appointment came just three days before Rosen's confirmation as second-in-command at Justice.
Rosen: Jeffrey Rosen, Transportation official, nominated as Justice Department's second-in-command to replace Rod Rosenstein
The inquiry is proceeding, as Justice's inspector general is conducting its own review of how federal authorities obtained a warrant in 2016 to monitor former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page and his possible links to Russia. The results of that investigation are expected to be disclosed soon.
While not briefed on the Barr-Durham inquiry, Rosen nevertheless characterized it as "serious."
"I'm not sealed out," the deputy attorney general said, explaining that the attorney general had already taken on the coordinating role with Durham.

Federal judge rules against Trump administration, says asylum-seekers must have the option of being released on bond
A federal judge has ruled against the Trump administration on immigration.
U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman in Washington state ruled that asylum-seekers who demonstrate a "credible fear of persecution" were constitutionally obligated to a bond hearing while their claim was being processed, invalidating an order given in April by Attorney General William Barr.
What's the background?
In 2005, the Board of Immigration Appeals ruled that asylum-seekers who could prove that they might be in danger if forced to leave the U.S. were able to be released on bond.
In April, Barr issued an order stating that even if an asylum-seeker could establish "credible fear of persecution or torture" they could be "detained until [their] normal proceedings conclude, unless [they are] given parole" if they had been "transferred to full removal proceedings" while their asylum claim was being processed.
This order from Barr was blocked by a preliminary injunction from Pechman soon after it was issued.
What did the judge say?
Pechman argued Tuesday, "Plaintiffs have established a constitutionally-protected interest in their liberty, a right to due process which includes a hearing before a neutral decisionmaker to assess the necessity of their detention, and a likelihood of success on the merits of that issue."
She also said that Barr's order could cause "irreparable harm."
In her ruling, Pechman ordered that bond hearings be held for asylum-seekers "within seven days" of being requested.
It also places "the burden of proof on Defendant Department of Homeland Security in those bond hearings to demonstrate why the class member should not be released on bond, parole, or other conditions," instead of having the asylum-seekers have to prove their innocence before they could be released.
All bond hearings will also have to be transcribed or recorded, and reasons for denial or approval will have to be given in writing. This modified injunction takes effect in 14 days.

Rep. Ratcliffe: DoJ IG Horowitz has completed his probe into alleged FISA abuses
In an appearance on Fox News Monday evening, Rep. John Ratcliffe said he met last week with Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz who said his office's probe into alleged abuses of the FISA court by the Obama-era DoJ and FBI is complete.
In addition, Ratcliffe said, the IG's office is currently drafting its report, though it's not clear when it will actually be presented to Attorney General William Barr.
"I did have the opportunity to meet with Inspector General Horowitz last week," Ratcliffe, a former federal prosecutor, said during an appearance with former GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).
"We talked about his report, the timing of his report, not the content, and he related that his team's investigative work is complete," Ratcliffe continued. "They are now in the process of drafting that report."
He added that he expects the report to "be completed in short order."
"I will tell you though," he continued, "I don't expect that any of us will see [the report] real soon. [Horowitz] did relate that as much as 20 percent of the report is probably going to include classified information."
As such, that portion of the report will have to undergo a review at DoJ and the FBI to be vetted and redacted. Ratcliffe added that it is possible the report will be available by Congress' August recess but it's not clear that will happen.
Meanwhile, Gowdy - who has seen the unredacted FISA applications - mocked fired FBI Director James Comey's comments this week that he 'did everything right' when it came to investigating the 2016 Trump campaign, despite his many contradictions between sworn testimony and available evidence.
"I don't know what Michael Horowitz is gonna find," Gowdy said. "I have a lot of confidence in him, he's a straight arrow. He's just looking at the FISA abuse."
Meanwhile, "United States Attorney John Durham is looking at what happened in the late winter and spring of 2016," Gowdy said. "So [Americans] have to have kind of a line of demarcation."

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked an order from Attorney General William Barr that stated certain asylum seekers can be detained indefinitely.
Judge Marsha Pechman in federal court in Washington state issued a preliminary injunction earlier this year that required asylum seekers who are given a hearing in their proceedings to be released within seven days after that hearing is granted. The Trump administration had asked her to dismiss that ruling, after Barr issued his new asylum order.
Pechman rejected that request in her order on Tuesday, finding that the policy implemented by Barr's order was "unconstitutional."
"It is the finding of this Court that it is unconstitutional to deny these class members a bond hearing while they await a final determination of their asylum request," Pechman, a Clinton appointee, wrote in her ruling.
The attorney general had written in the order, issued in April, that asylum seekers who are able to demonstrate a "credible fear" and are sent to full deportation proceedings cannot be released on bond.
That directive overturned a ruling by the Board of Immigration Appeals in 2005 that found asylum-seekers could be released on bond if they are able to exhibit they have credible fear of persecution or danger if they leave the U.S.
"I conclude that such aliens remain ineligible for bond, whether they are arriving at the border or are apprehended in the United States," Barr wrote at the time, invoking a statute included in the Immigration and Nationality Act
Pechman wrote that she was adjusting her previous preliminary injunction requiring the release of those impacted asylum seekers to also address Barr's order, and that the new injunctions will go into effect within 14 days of it being issued.
The judge cited a previous Supreme Court ruling that "definitively established the immigrant detainees' constitutionally-protected interest in freedom from unnecessary incarceration."
And she wrote that the immigrants are "are entitled to due process protections," including a "longstanding prohibition against indefinite civil detention with no opportunity to test its necessity."
"The Court finds that Plaintiffs have established a constitutionally-protected interest in their liberty, a right to due process which includes a hearing before a neutral decisionmaker to assess the necessity of their detention, and a likelihood of success on the merits of that issue," Pechman wrote.
And the judge again ruled that the asylum seekers are likely to face "irreparable harm" under the policy.
"All the harms attendant upon their prolonged detention cited in the original ruling on Plaintiffs' request for injunctive relief remain applicable here - substandard physical conditions, low standards of medical care, lack of access to attorneys and evidence as Plaintiffs prepare their cases, separation from their families, and re-traumatization of a population already found to have legitimate circumstances of victimization," the ruling states.
Pechman also pushed back against the administration's argument that the potential harm was "speculative," saying that those claims "lack substance."
However, she said she didn't believe that the asylum seekers would win by alleging that Barr violated federal administrative law with his order.
The Hill has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.

By GENE JOHNSON, Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) - A federal judge in Seattle has blocked a Trump administration policy that would keep thousands of asylum seekers locked up while they pursue their cases.
U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman ruled Tuesday that people who are detained after entering the country to seek protection are entitled to bond hearings. Attorney General William Barr announced in April that the government would no longer offer such hearings, but instead keep them in custody. It was part of the administration's efforts to deter a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Immigrant rights advocates including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project sued to block the policy, which was due to take effect July 15.

Lawmakers reject 'Mueller rule' ahead of testimony: 'There's no limitation'
Robert Mueller says his 448-page report is his testimony, but that's not stopping lawmakers from signaling they will try to coax the former special counsel to break the "Mueller rule" when he arrives July 17 on Capitol Hill. In just one example, Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican, wants details on how the FBI probe into the Donald Trump campaign got started, Jack Langer, his spokesman, told The Washington Times.
"Republicans will focus on the many shortcomings, biases and false insinuations in the Mueller report and try to find out why Mueller refused to investigate the numerous abuses in how the Russia investigation was initiated and conducted," Mr. Langer said. Mr. Nunes is the ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. After 22 months with the aid of 40 FBI agents, Mr. Mueller failed to find a Trump-Russia election meddling conspiracy as alleged by Democrats, Obama loyalists and media.
But some Democrats have not given up and want more information on Moscow-Trump ties. Hope Hicks, President Trump's former communications director, found herself answering the same questions on Russian contacts when she appeared June 19 before the House Judiciary Committee. Some Democrats are looking to impeach Mr. Trump based on facts in the Mueller report's Volume II section on possible obstruction of justice.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat and Congress' most enthusiastic promoter of the Democratic Party-financed dossier, rejected the '"Mueller rule" outright. "There's no limitation on confining his testimony to the four corners of the report," Mr. Schiff, chairman of the House intelligence committee, told CNN. "That may be his desire, but Congress has questions that go beyond the report."' Mr. Mueller never spoke during his tenure until May 29, his last day as special counsel, when he issued a terse statement and vowed not to speak again. Under Democratic subpoena, he reluctantly agreed last week to testify before the intelligence and Judiciary committees. Mr. Schiff says the precedent was set by Attorney General William Barr, who has testified on his concerns about how the Obama administration opened the investigation in July 2016.
He appointed John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, to set up shop in Washington to inquire how the FBI spied on Trump associates, relied on the opposition research dossier and obtained wiretap warrants. Mr. Mueller's report effectively demolished the dossier, which alleged a sweeping Trump-Russia conspiracy that the FBI didn't find. Mr. Schiff appears to want to counter the Barr effort by opening his own counterintelligence inquiry. He said he plans to summon not just Mr. Mueller, but also his staff of prosecutors for closed-door questions.
How Mr. Mueller assembled that team is sure to be a topic for Republicans. Mr. Trump referred to them as "18 angry Democrats." Most prosecutors had Democratic ties, some as donors. Andrew Weissmann, who handled the Paul Manafort investigation, donated to Democrats and attended what was supposed to be Hillary Clinton's presidential victory party in New York. Jeannie Rhee represented Mrs. Clinton in two cases. Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican and another Judiciary Committee member, tweeted, "I've got a lot of questions about how Bob Mueller spent $35 million in taxpayer money to find there was no collusion." Republicans also want to know details about Mr. Mueller's firing of two senior FBI employees - Assistant Director Peter Strzok and his lover, FBI counsel Lisa Page. The two exchanged loaded text messages filled with venom for candidate Trump, with Mr. Strzok pledging to "stop" him.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jul/1/robert-mueller-pressed-break-mueller-rule-july-17-/
"We have legitimate questions about how all these people ended up on the Mueller team that had a history of donating financially to Democrats. There did not seem to be sufficient balance," said Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican and a Judiciary Committee member.

Sessions had also asked Huber in 2017 to look into issues related to the sale of Uranium One and allegations that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been improperly involved in the process, as well as broader claims of corruption at the Clinton Foundation. Barr seemed to suggest that what evidence Huber found, if any, may soon be revealed.
"The other issues [Huber has] been working on relate to Hillary Clinton" are "winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," Barr said.

Trump Finally Has the Wind at his Back
"…The anchor was the Russian collusion narrative, now debunked, and quite easily, as it never existed in the first place. The FISA warrants, FBI informants inserted into the Trump campaign, attempted entrapment, were all a giant smokescreen with a flimsy veneer of legality, covering up highly illegal spying and weaponization of the justice and intelligence agencies of President Obama going back as far as 2012, as Joe DiGenova recently explained in a radio interview.
The irony is that Mitt Romney, with his high-browed finger-wagging over Trump's style, was likely surveilled in 2012, along with his family and campaign, perhaps costing him the election. He might as well be wearing a "kick me" sign on the back of his Brooks Brothers blazer.
Yet Trump knew all of this and more, probably before he was elected, and certainly after Admiral Mike Rogers paid him an unexpected visit at Trump Tower during the transition. The deep state plan, however, was already in play, with now legal spying, at least per the FISC warrant approvals, with a special counsel waiting in the wings to tie Trump's hands behind his back in terms of exposing any of this.
They were building an obstruction case, under the public cover of Russian collusion, hoping that Trump would declassify something or fire someone, which Mueller could claim was obstructing his investigation, paving the way for the House filing articles of impeachment.
But Trump had the patience of a tortoise running a marathon, moving his agenda upstream and upwind, biding his
time until the winds shifted for the better. That time is now. His new Attorney General William Barr jumped on board Trump's boat, the USS Covfefe, and has weighed anchor by compelling Mueller to end his witch hunt, to fish or cut bait, finishing his report, confirming what Trump has been saying all along, although to many deaf ears.
The media wind is still blowing but with far less effect. CNN and MSNBC ratings have dropped even further after Mueller released his report, making their broadcasts relevant only in Georgetown coffee shops and airport terminals.
The tide is receding with Congress now rid of some, but unfortunately not all, NeverTrumpers. Others like Lindsey Graham are energized and eager to use their committees to uncover, not bury, previous government malfeasance. NeverTrump pundits have been relegated to low ratings cable news networks, whining to like-minded news anchors while the rest of the country views them as jilted teenage mean girls.
House Democrats can't make up their minds about impeachment, torn between political practicality and their rabid base, which they spent years whipping into a frenzy, pouring blood into a school of sharks.
Democrat presidential candidates are lined up like climbers on Mount Everest last week, waiting for their chance at a selfie on the summit. They are happy to trample over the carcasses of their fellow candidates if they can move further up the line. Trump couldn't have choreographed this any better."

Kamala Harris campaign lawyer hired Fusion GPS for Hillary Clinton
The former top lawyer for Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign who hired Fusion GPS to carry out controversial opposition research against then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 is now working for a top 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful. Marc Elias, who heads Perkins Coie's political law group, became general counsel for California Sen. Kamala Harris' presidential bid this year. Elias, who held the same position in Clinton's campaign, is named in two pending Federal Election Commission complaints and in a recent federal lawsuit alleging that the Clinton campaign broke campaign finance laws when it used Perkins Coie to hire Fusion GPS.
Fusion GPS went on to hire British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who compiled an unverified dossier allegedly based on sources close to the Kremlin which was disseminated to the media and used by the FBI to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants targeting former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is reviewing alleged FISA abuse related to the dossier and Attorney General William Barr launched his "investigation of the investigators" earlier this year. Clinton's former presidential campaign manager Robby Mook said in 2017 that he authorized Elias to hire an outside firm to dig up dirt on Trump's connections with Russia. "I asked our lawyer and I gave him a budget allocation to investigate this, particularly the international aspect," he said. Mook said Elias was receiving information from Fusion GPS or directly from Steele himself about the research into Trump and Russia in 2016, and that Elias then periodically briefed the Clinton campaign about the findings. "We were getting briefings that were put together by the law firm with information," Mook said. "I'm proud that we were able to assemble some of the research that has brought this to light." "I'm just glad that it's coming out now and I'm glad that there was research there," Mook said.
Watchdog groups allege that Hillary for America purposely concealed the hiring of Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele by reporting all the payments that it made to Perkins Coie as "legal services" without mentioning opposition research. Perkins Coie was paid over $12 million between 2016 and 2017 for its work representing Clinton and the DNC. According to its co-founder Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS was in turn paid $50,000 per month from Perkins Coie, and Christopher Steele was paid roughly $168,000 by Fusion GPS for his work. Perkins Coie admitted in an October 2017 letter that it had hired Fusion GPS, claiming that "Fusion GPS approached Perkins Coie" in March 2016 with the knowledge that Perkins Coie was representing Clinton and the DNC, and that Perkins Coie then "engaged" Fusion GPS from April of that year until just prior to the November election "to perform a variety of research services during the 2016 election cycle."
Elias himself personally "retained Fusion GPS ... to conduct the research" and did so "on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC," according to a report from the Washington Post. Brian Fallon, the former national press secretary for the Clinton campaign, previously defended Elias. "Marc is known as one of the most skilled professionals in Democratic politics, in addition to being the party's top election lawyer," Fallon said in 2017. "I am damn glad he pursued this on behalf of our campaign and only regret more of this material was not verified in time for the voters to learn it before the election."
Elias is a fixture in Democratic politics. Aside from working for Harris, Clinton, and the DNC, Elias has said that he and his colleagues at Perkins Coie have represented the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Governors Association, various Democratic PACs, the pro-abortion EMILY's List, dozens of Democratic senators, and more than a hundred Democratic members of the House. Neither the Harris campaign nor Elias responded to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.

Gohmert calls Mueller an 'anal opening' ahead of testimony
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) called former special counsel Robert Mueller an "anal opening" ahead of the former FBI chief's public testimony before Congress. "He's done some irreparable damage to some things and he's got to answer for them," Gohmert, one of 25 Republicans on the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees who get to grill Mueller during the back-to-back hearings scheduled later this month, told Politico. The Texas lawmaker added that his reading of the former special counsel's report did little to temper his animosity toward Mueller: "It reinforced the anal opening that I believe Mueller to be."
Lawmakers from both parties will have the opportunity to question Mueller for hours during back-to-back House hearings on July 17 about the findings of his 22-month investigation into Russia's election interference in 2016 and potential obstruction by President Trump. Democrats want to amplify the contents of Mueller's 448-page report, which details efforts from Trump to gain control of and thwart the probe into his campaign's contacts with Russia. The report did not find evidence to charge Trump campaign members or associates with conspiring with the Kremlin to meddle in the election.
Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice in the probe, saying he was precluded from doing so by a Justice Department opinion that says a sitting president cannot be indicted. Attorney General William Barr ultimately determined the evidence in Mueller's report to be insufficient to accuse Trump of criminal wrongdoing.

Devin Nunes says there's something 'off' about plan to have Mueller team testify
Rep. Devin Nunes said Robert Mueller could "throw a monkey wrench" into matters related to the Russia investigation with his testimony next month. In an interview Saturday evening on Fox News, the California Republican also expressed concern about what one of Mueller's top prosecutors might say in a closed setting as part of the deal to speak to lawmakers.
"There are two trains of thought out there. One is that he's just not going to say anything, which is very possible. But it's also very possible too that he could throw a monkey wrench in things," the House Intelligence Committee ranking member told host Jeanine Pirro. "Now what's off about this is - supposedly he's only agreed to testify for four hours. Four hours with the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judiciary Committee is not enough time to get everyone's questions in," Nunes added. "In addition, people should know he's not willing to testify as of now behind closed doors and he's supposedly going to send in Andrew Weissmann and his team of geniuses that came up with these conspiracy theories. And that's not even going to be translated. So stay tuned."
Mueller, who made clear in a public statement late last month he did not want to testify about his now-complete investigation, agreed to public testimony before the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees on July 17 in response to a pair of subpoenas. In an interview with CNN last week, House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said he did not believe the special counsel's office considered what it received to be a "friendly subpoena" and that Mueller was "deeply reluctant" to comply with it. As part of the plan, Schiff said that there will also be an "executive session" with members of Mueller's staff. There has been some speculation about what this closed-door discussion might entail.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe told MSNBC that Mueller's senior staffers will likely "go much deeper" into the details of the Russia investigation. Joe DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, predicted on Fox Business last week that Weissmann, not Mueller, could do real "damage" to President Trump. Weissmann, who recently scored a book deal, was known as Mueller's "pitbull." According to Michael Wolff's book Siege, Weissmann led the initiative to draft a three-count obstruction of justice indictment against Trump, which Mueller's spokesman denied existed. Mueller's report, released in April with redactions, shows his team was not able to establish criminal conspiracy between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, but left open the question of possible obstruction of justice. The report laid out 10 instances in which Trump might have obstructed justice, but Mueller declined to make a determination on the matter, citing a Justice Department guideline that sitting presidents cannot be indicted.
Although Trump and his allies say the case is closed, Democrats argue Mueller's refusal to clear Trump on obstruction provides them a road map to continue to investigate and possibly seek impeachment. Attorney General William Barr said he and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined there was not sufficient evidence to establish a crime had occurred. Despite Mueller being out of the job and his reluctance to testify, Nunes complained of the former special counsel's continual presence. "He's like a bad penny, he just won't go away," Nunes said of Mueller. Nunes said a question he wants to ask Mueller is how far the counterintelligence investigation into Trump's campaign goes, even as the FBI asserts it started in July 2016. "That is a total lie. They've been lying to Congress. They've been misleading the American people, and I'm going to ask that question or at least me or somebody on my committee is going to ask that question of Bob Mueller when the investigation actually began spying on the Trump campaign," Nunes said.

Flashback: Trump may have to invoke 'Insurrection Act' to protect the country after another Obama judge blocks his border wall construction
(NationalSentinel) On Friday, a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama issued a permanent injunction against the administration, blocking President Trump from using Defense Department funds for border wall construction.
In May during a speech, Attorney General William Barr said such nationwide injunctions are not only improper but also "undermine the democratic process, depart from history and tradition, violate constitutional principles, and impede sound judicial administration."
A New York University Law Review paper in October 2017 listed many practical problems with such injunctions, and its key point was that they violate constitutional principles, undermining "the structural design of the federal courts by allowing a single lower court to make nationwide law."
It may be time for the president - and we don't say this lightly - to supersede these rogue federal judges and simply exercise the authority the Constitution grants him, and let the chips fall where they may.
Under the Insurrection Act of 1807, the president has the authority to use the National Guard and military in order to combat "unlawful obstruction or rebellion" within U.S. borders. The act was last invoked in 1992 by George H.W. Bush to quell the Los Angeles riots, and was also used by Eisenhower in 1957 to enforce school desegregation in the south.

Groups claim Clinton campaign broke campaign laws over Fusion GPS and Steele funding
''
Two watchdog groups filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission alleging the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee broke campaign laws by filing reports meant to conceal their hiring of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS and British ex-spy Christopher Steele. And one has now filed a lawsuit in federal court.
The Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan nonprofit, filed its complaint with the FEC in 2017, alleging that Clinton and the DNC "failed to accurately disclose the purpose and recipient of payments for the dossier of research alleging connections between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia, effectively hiding these payments from public scrutiny, contrary to the requirements of federal law." The Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a conservative nonprofit, filed its complaint with the FEC a year later against Clinton, the DNC, Steele, and the Perkins Coie law firm, which represented Clinton and the DNC in 2016 and was paid $12 million in 2016-2017. Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, which then hired Steele.
The foundation alleged the Clinton campaign "conspired" with foreign nationals by hiring Steele, who says he gathered information from sources close to the Kremlin. The FBI used Steele's unverified dossier in Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications to surveil Trump campaign associate Carter Page. The foundation filed its lawsuit in D.C. District Court in May, hoping a judge will force the FEC to rule on its complaint.
Dan Backer, one of the group's founders and a "pro-Trump guy" who runs two pro-Trump political action committees, told the Washington Examiner that the goal of their lawsuit was to get the FEC to act, and, if not, to give the group the ability to investigate. The foundation accuses the Clinton campaign of paying Perkins Coie for legal services to hide its opposition research efforts from the public. "They should've reported a payment to Fusion GPS. They could've called it opposition research. They could've just called it research. But it definitely wasn't just 'legal services,'" Backer told the Washington Examiner.
Following remarks from Trump earlier in June that he'd be open to accepting foreign information, FEC Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub released a viral statement on Twitter, saying, "Anyone who solicits or accepts foreign assistance risks being on the wrong end of a federal investigation." Brendan Fischer, an FEC expert for the center, told the Washington Examiner that the "payments by the DNC and Clinton campaign for opposition research were legal, but hiding those payments was not." Fischer also said although it was doubtful that Steele's hiring broke the law, "whether Steele's subsequent engagement with Russian sources might run afoul of the law would really depend on the facts." The foundation, however, alleged that while Democratic officials have accused the Trump administration of collusion, "it was the Clinton-backed Democratic machine that conspired with foreigners in violation of both federal campaign finance law and basic decency to manipulate the election."
Backer contended Steele attempted to influence the election by spreading his dossier to members of the media and the government. An FEC spokesman told the Washington Examiner the organization could not comment because FEC actions must be kept confidential until the case is resolved. When asked whether the association with Steele or with Russian sources might constitute foreign interference, an FEC spokesman pointed the Washington Examiner to the the FEC website's section on foreign nationals. Fischer, who said that center is still waiting for the FEC to make a ruling, said that while most campaign finance violations only involve a fine, "if the violation is committed knowingly and willfully there could be criminal penalties."
Perkins Coie, Elias, the DNC, and the former Clinton campaign treasurer did not respond to requests seeking comment. A lawyer for Fusion GPS told the Washington Examiner that the firm has complied with the law. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is reviewing alleged FISA abuse, and Attorney General William Barr launched his "investigation of the investigators" earlier this year.

Will US Elites Give Détente With Russia A Chance?
he Trump-Putin meeting in Japan is crucial for both leaders… and for the world…
Despite determined attempts in Washington to sabotage such a "summit," as I reported previously, President Trump and Russian President Putin are still scheduled to meet at the G-20 gathering in Japan this week. Iran will be at the top of their agenda. The Trump administration seems determined to wage cold, possibly even hot, war against the Islamic Republic, while for Moscow, as emphasized by the Kremlin's national security adviser, Nikolai Patrushev, on June 25, "Iran has been and will be an ally and partner of ours."
Indeed, the importance of Iran (along with China) to Russia can hardly be overstated. Among other reasons, as the West's military alliance encroaches ever more along Russia's western borders, Iran is a large, vital non-NATO neighbor. Still more, Teheran has done nothing to incite Russia's own millions of Muslim citizens against Moscow. Well before Trump, powerful forces in Washington have long sought to project Iran as America's primary enemy in the Middle East, but for Moscow it is a necessary "ally and partner."
In normal political circumstances, Trump and Putin could probably diminish any potential US-Russian conflict over Iran-and the one still brewing in Syria as well. But both leaders come to the summit with related political problems at home. For Trump, they are the unproven but persistent allegations of "Russiagate." For Putin, they are economic.
As I have also previously explained, while there was fairly traditional "meddling," there was no "Russian attack" on the 2016 American presidential election. But for many mainstream American commentators, including the editorial page editor of The Washington Post, it is an "obvious truth" and likely to happen again in 2020, adding ominously that Trump is still "cozying up to the chief perpetrator, Russian President Vladimir Putin." A New York Times columnist goes further, insisting that Russia "helped to throw the election" to Trump. Again, there is no evidence whatsoever for these allegations. Also consider the ongoing assault on Attorney General William Barr, whose current investigation into the origins of "Russiagate" threatens to conclude that the scandal originated not with Russia but with US intelligence agencies under President Obama, in particular with the CIA under John Brennan.
We should therefore not be surprised, despite possible positive national security results of the Trump-Putin summit in Japan, if the US president is again widely accused of "treason," as he so shamefully was following his meeting with Putin in Helsinki in July 2018, and as I protested at that time. Even the Times' once-dignified columnist pages thundered, "Trump, Treasonous Traitor" and "Putin's Lackey," while senior US senators, Democrat and Republican alike, did much the same.
Putin's domestic problem, on the other hand, is economic and social. Russia's annual growth rate is barely 2 percent, real wages are declining, popular protests against officialdom's historically endemic corruption are on the rise, and Putin's approval rating, while still high, is declining. A public dispute between two of Putin's advisers has broken out over what to do. On the one side is Alexei Kudrin, the leading monetarist who has long warned against using billions of dollars in Russia's "rainy day" funds to spur investment and economic growth. On the other is Sergei Glaziev, a kind of Keynesian, FDR New Dealer who has no less persistently urged investing these funds in new domestic infrastructure that would, he argues, result in rapid economic growth.
During his nearly 20 years as Kremlin leader, Putin has generally sided with the "rainy day" monetarists. But on June 20, during his annual television call-in event, he suddenly, and elliptically, remarked that even Kudrin "has been drifting towards" Glaziev. Not surprisingly, many Russian commentators think this means that Putin himself is now "leaning toward Glaziev." If so, it is another reason why Putin has no interest in waging cold war with the United States-why he wants instead, indeed even needs, a historic, long-term détente.
It seems unlikely that President Trump or any of the advisers currently around him understand this important struggle-and it is a struggle-unfolding in the Russian policy elite. But if Trump wants a major détente (or "cooperation," as he has termed it) with Russia, anyone who cares about international security and about the well-being of the Russian people should support him in this pursuit. Especially at this moment, when we are told by the director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research that "the risks of the use of nuclear weapons...are higher now than at any time since World War Two."

Ex-top FBI lawyer blasts Trump for accusing Mueller of committing a crime
The former top lawyer at the FBI admonished President Trump for accusing former special counsel Robert Mueller of committing a crime without evidence on Wednesday. James Baker, who was FBI general counsel during the Russia investigation, said the president should simply inform Attorney General William Barr instead of blaring out his suspicions. "Accusing Americans of crimes without a factual basis and having him just pronounce this is just unacceptable," Baker said on CNN, where he is a legal analyst. "If the president thinks that Robert Mueller committed a crime, then he should direct the attorney general to conduct an investigation and then not talk about it."
Less than 24 hours after Mueller agreed to testify before Congress next month, in response to subpoenas from two House committees, Trump lashed out at him. "Mueller terminated them illegally. He terminated all of the emails," Trump said in an interview with Fox Business. "Robert Mueller terminated their text messages together. He terminated them. They're gone. And that's illegal. That's a crime." He was referring to the anti-Trump text messages exchanged between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page while they were involved in the Hillary Clinton emails and Russia investigations. Baker, who has suggested Mueller's public testimony can be key to impeaching Trump, said the president's accusations were a "breach" of his duties under the Constitution.

Barr re-emerged onstage and tucked a bagpipe under his arm as the crowd of government attorneys laughed and applauded. A low drum beat sounded and the traditional bagpipe march
"Scotland the Brave"
began with Barr joining in. The crowd gave him a standing ovation at the end of the performance.
Barr takes the bagpipe very seriously – he's been playing since before his legal career began. Barr was a member of the now defunct U.S.-based Grade 2 Denny & Dunipace Pipe Band - which later evolved into the Scottish & Irish Imports and City of Washington - from the early-1980s until the early-1990s. Barr played with the band in a number of competitions, including the World Championships.
Soon afterward, Barr joined the Bush administration to serve his first stint as attorney general, effectively putting his competitive piping career on hold.
Barr later went on to serve as a board member of the U.S. Piping Foundation, an organization that supports competitions for bagpipers, from January 2017 to December 2018.

Q Research General #8753: "Presidential Harassment!" Edition
Meadows: Subpoenas sent to Mueller may be invalid
Rep. Mark Meadows said the subpoenas compelling former special counsel Robert Mueller to testify next month may be invalid. Reacting to news that Mueller agreed to testify about the Russia investigation, Meadows called the whole thing a "sham" orchestrated by Democrats to "harass" President Trump. "I just find it just unbelievable that here in Congress tonight, we find out about this on the House floor. They don't even go through normal protocol to let the minority know," the North Carolina Republican said Tuesday evening on Fox News. "They broke House rules. I'm not sure the subpoena is valid because you can't issue the same subpoena from two different committees of jurisdiction."
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler and Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff announced Mueller's agreement to testify July 17 before an open joint session of their committees. The Democrats shared the letter they sent accompanying the subpoenas they each issued to Mueller. The Justice Department released Mueller's 448-page report with redactions in April, which showed his team did not establish any criminal conspiracy between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. Mueller also outlined 10 scenarios of possible obstruction in his report, but declined to make a determination about whether the president obstructed justice.
Although Trump and his allies say the case is closed, Democrats argue Mueller's refusal to clear Trump on obstruction provides them a road map to continue to investigate and possibly seek impeachment. Attorney General William Barr said he and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined there was not sufficient evidence to establish a crime had occurred. In his only public appearance since being appointed special counsel, Mueller indicated he would not say anything that is not already evident in his 448-page report. "We chose those words carefully and the work speaks for itself and the report is my testimony. I would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before Congress," he said. Meadows said Mueller can expect to be "cross-examined for the first time, and the American people will start to see the flaws in his report."

Third Mueller scope memo proof Rosenstein was 'scared to death' of McCabe, Joe DiGenova says
The revelation of a possible third scope memo for special counsel Robert Mueller showed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was "scared to death" of top FBI brass, said attorney Joe DiGenova. Last week, the Washington Examiner's Byron York revealed the existence of a third scope memo, which remains shrouded in secrecy but indicates the instructions Rosenstein gave to Mueller for his Russia investigation were more extensive than previously known.
Reacting to the report on Fox Business, DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said it contributes to the notion that the Russia investigation was set up on "illegitimate" grounds and stems back to Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller as special counsel. "When history of this scandal is written, one person will be blamed and should be blamed for the entire wasting of two years of President Trump's presidency. Rod Rosenstein was a coward," DiGenova told host Lou Dobbs. DiGenova claimed 'Rosenstein was frightened of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who from May to early August 2017 led the bureau after President Trump fired Director James Comey and Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia inquiry.'
"He didn't know how to tell McCabe and those people to stop fooling around and messing around with Trump," DiGenova said. "He came in, he found out about the Hillary Clinton investigation. He saw how rabidly anti-Trump they were, and he, Rosenstein, caved and gave up the power of the attorney general and the deputy attorney general to a bunch of corrupt FBI officials. And that third scope memo is proof that he was scared to death of McCabe." DiGenova served as an independent counsel in the 1990s for a case on President Bill Clinton's passport before he was elected. Last year, it was announced DiGenova and his wife Victoria Toensing were joining Trump's legal team for the federal Russia investigation, but that plan was nixed within days. He has been highly critical of Mueller's Russia investigation, claiming that Trump had been "framed" by the Justice Department and the FBI.
Rosenstein left the DOJ last month after Mueller completed his 22-month-long investigation. McCabe was fired from the FBI on March 16, 2018, after the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General determined he misled investigators about the role he had in leaking information to the Wall Street Journal in October 2016 about the investigation into the Clinton Foundation. McCabe, who acknowledged he ordered the obstruction of justice investigation into Trump, argued that his firing was an attempt to discredit the FBI and Mueller's investigation. He has since called for House Democrats to begin impeachment proceedings against the president. Trump's allies have applauded Attorney General William Barr for his efforts to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation, but although Rosenstein, McCabe, Comey, and other officials they often accused of harboring bias against the president are out of government, some conflict remains. FBI Director Christopher Wray took heat after he disagreed with Trump over whether there was improper spying on his 2016 campaign. In an interview with the Hill on Monday, Trump declined to say if he had confidence in Wray. However, on Tuesday he appeared to walk that back by telling reporters that "yes" he is confident in Wray's performance.
Mueller's report was released with redactions in April, but fascination over the unseen aspects of his work remain intense. Republicans have called the case closed while Democrats argue Mueller left it to them to take up the investigation due to the limitations of his mandate, including indicting or recommending charges for obstruction of justice. The first scope memorandum, which was immediately made public, was written by Rosenstein in May 2017 when Rosenstein first appointed Mueller as special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election. Rosenstein said Mueller would look at any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of Trump, any matters that arose directly from the investigation, and anything else within the scope of the DOJ's special counsel regulations.

Mark Meadows: DOJ exploring 'unbelievably unusual activity' in final months of Obama administration
Rep. Mark Meadows said the Justice Department is examining irregularities in the intelligence community as part of its review of the origins of the Russia investigation. Reacting to newly released documents on changes in U.S. procedures for sharing raw intelligence, Meadows said there was "unbelievably unusual activity" in the final months of the Obama administration. "I can tell you that [U.S. Attorney] John Durham and Attorney General [William] Barr are going to get to the bottom of it," the North Carolina Republican said Monday evening on Fox News. "They are including in part of their surveillance - really looking at the intelligence community to make sure that justice is brought."
On Sean Hannity's show, before Meadows was brought on to speak along with colleague Rep. Jim Jordan, attorney Jay Sekulow discussed the latest findings by his conservative watchdog group, the American Center for Law and Justice. The records obtained by the ACLJ showed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence under James Clapper pushing to increase access to raw signal intelligence before President Trump took office. The New York Times first reported the expanded access to intercepted communications in January 2017. Although Hannity and Sekulow played up the newly released records, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, as suspiciously timed and "rushed," the Times noted the discussions for such changes to remove bureaucratic Barriers stretched back years dating back to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Still, Jordan said he suspects there was evidence of nefarious intent, tying the changes to an interview Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did in January 2017 in which the New York Democrat warned then-incoming President Trump that intelligence officials "have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you." "So this is one of those six ways," Jordan said, adding that the other "ways" include British ex-spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier the CIA's use of informants to make contact with members of the Trump campaign.
Barr tasked Durham, a U.S. attorney from Connecticut, with leading the inquiry focused on the origins of the counterintelligence investigation into Trump's campaign, which the FBI began in the summer of 2016. The DOJ review of the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation is not a criminal inquiry, but should Durham find criminal activity he can take prosecutorial action. Jordan noted how first Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is expected to wrap up his investigation into Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse and that could influence Durham's efforts. "The attorney general of the United States and U.S. Attorney John Durham are doing an investigation. And they have told us this is broader than just the FBI - they're going to look at all of this," Jordan said. "First, Horowitz is going to come out. His report a year ago was very good," the Ohio Republican said. "Then we will see where Mr. Durham and Mr. Barr where their investigation and what they come back with."
The Justice Department's examination of the early stages of the counterintelligence investigation into Trump's campaign has been cheered by Republicans and criticized by Democrats. After Trump granted Barr sweeping powers to declassify secret information and instructed a handful of agencies to cooperate with his investigation, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff panned the effort as a "disturbing" scheme to politicize intelligence. A DOJ letter written to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler outlining the scope of its investigation said the review is "broad in scope and multifaceted" and includes a look at actions both by the U.S. government and by foreigners.

Q Research General #8749: Cruz Challenges Google Edition
Tracing the Origins of Congressional Democrats' 'Obstruction' Strategy
Efforts by members of Congress to advance the narrative that President Donald Trump "obstructed justice" have now replaced the disproven claims of Trump-Russia collusion.
The public narrative of obstruction, however, originated prior to the conclusion of the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller and his resulting report.
Less than six months after Mueller's appointment-on Oct. 10, 2017-the Brookings Institution published the first of two reports titled "Presidential Obstruction of Justice: The Case of Donald J. Trump," which outlined, among other things, a scenario whereby Mueller would refer his obstruction findings to Congress, which would then take up the matter and continue investigating. The report also discussed ways in which Congress could impeach the president, mentioning the word "impeachment" a total of 90 times.
Norman Eisen and Barry Berke, two of the authors of the Brookings report, were later retained by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) on a consulting basis as special oversight counsels to the Democrat majority staff.
As Nadler noted in an announcement, the two men would have a particular focus on reviewing Mueller's investigation and would be advising the committee. It also appears Nadler intended for the two lawyers to question Attorney General William Barr.
Special Counsel's Focus on Obstruction of Justice
It was initially believed that the primary focus of Mueller's investigation centered around allegations of collusion, however, the release of Mueller's report makes clear that substantial resources were dedicated to investigating potential obstruction charges-including the question whether the president obstructed justice by firing James Comey as FBI director.
Although the Mueller report was released as a single document, it contains two separate volumes, the first part focusing on collusion and the second section dedicated solely to looking into obstruction.
The Mueller report stated that in regards to obstruction, several statutes could apply including Section 1503 and 1505 but the special counsel chose to focus primarily on Section 1512, which as the report states, "is an omnibus obstruction-of-justice provision that covers a range of obstructive acts directed at pending or contemplated official proceedings."

Nunes threatens ninth criminal referral, says Trump-Russia conspiracy peddlers are 'possessed'
Rep. Devin Nunes threatened to send a ninth criminal referral regarding the Trump-Russia investigation to the Justice Department if he does not receive information he requested about British ex-spy Christopher Steele, and accused those who still push the Russian collusion conspiracy of being "possessed." The California Republican sent letters Friday to FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting a review of the origins of the Russia inquiry. He asked about records the Bureau received in October 2016 that show a top official at the State Department undermining Steele's credibility. Steele authored a dossier, filled with salacious and unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia, that was used by the FBI to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or FISA warrants to wiretap onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
In a Fox News interview on Sunday, Nunes said someone at the FBI appears to have been "determined to hide" then-Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec's notes from both the FISA court and Congress. In the last session, when Nunes was chairman, the House Intelligence Committee conducted its own investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. "So they have until Friday to get it to us, and if they don't, we will make our ninth criminal referral," Nunes told host Maria Bartiromo. "Basically, we won't know exactly who at the FBI obstructed justice, but - Durham or the Department of Justice should be able to figure it out because there's e-mails that went around, and somebody decided not to give it to the Congress."
Nunes sent a notification in April to the Justice Department about eight criminal referrals targeting individuals tied to the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, including some that had to do with leaks. On May 1, Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department has opened "multiple criminal leak investigations" related to the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation. A week later, notes taken by Kavalec, obtained and released by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation, revealed that she had a meeting with Steele on Oct. 11, 2016 - 10 days before the first Carter Page warrant application was submitted. Kavalec's notes said Steele admitted he was encouraged by his client, the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, to get his research out before the 2016 election. The notes, which were sent to the FBI, show Kavalec believed at least some of Steele's allegations to be false.
GOP lawmakers have demanded answers about the FBI's knowledge about Steele's "political motivations," including Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham sending letters to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz requesting documents. Nunes said Kavalec's notes should have been a "big red flag." He also lamented how many Americans appear to have become numb to the controversy because there have been so many of them. "I think a lot of times Americans are just becoming tone deaf to this because it's just like one grenade after another. It's, like, how many times do we have to see this Russia hoax, how bad it was and how really what you see – I think the only way to define this, Maria, is we have people that are possessed in this country, that continue to perpetuate this Russia hoax," he said.

As part of the "investigation into the investigators," U.S. Attorney John Durham's team reportedly wants to talk to at least one senior CIA counterintelligence official and a senior CIA analyst who examined Russia's role in meddling in the 2016 election.
The review is not a criminal inquiry, but should Durham find criminal activity he can take prosecutorial action. Top CIA officials are said to be anxious over the federal prosecutor's efforts.
Michael Morell, who was deputy director of the CIA during the Obama administration, said Durham's interest in speaking to a CIA analyst concerns him.
"I see no problem with a DOJ review of whether the CIA and other intelligence community agencies lived up to their legal and regulatory responsibilities related to how they handled any information related to U.S. persons - U.S. citizens and U.S. nationals," Morell told CBS News, where he is now a senior national security contributor.
"Having said that, I see a DOJ review of whether or not the intelligence analysts made the right call as wholly inappropriate. I cannot ever remember a DOJ review of analysis," Morrell added.
"[Durham] and his team have no experience with, or knowledge of, the process of intelligence analysis," Morell said. "He and his team could well impose a law enforcement standard in coming to a conclusion - a much higher bar than exists in the intelligence community for analytic judgments."
American officials say Attorney General William Barr, who is overseeing Durham's efforts and earlier this year riled Democrats when he said "spying did occur" against the Trump 2016 campaign, wants to understand how the CIA coordinated with the FBI and how the agency came to its conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the order to sow discord in the election to help Trump and undermine his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
That effort culminated in the January 2017 release of a intelligence community assessment, commissioned by former President Barack Obama. In that report, the CIA and FBI expressed "high confidence" that Russia sought to boost Trump while the National Security Agency had "moderate confidence."
The Senate and House intelligence committees both reviewed the assessment, revealing a partisan divide. While the Senate panel, known for being largely bipartisan, called it a "sound intelligence product," the House Intelligence Committee was more critical. In 2018, the then-GOP led House panel said most of the assessment's analysis "held up to scrutiny," but noted the judgment about Putin "failed to meet most of the analytic standards set forth in the primary guiding document for [intelligence community] analysis." Democrats on the committee disagreed with that assessment.
Democrats argue Barr's effort is part of a plan to stonewall the public from learning about President Trump' potential obstruction of justice. Upon the conclusion of his Russia investigation, special counsel Robert Mueller laid out 10 instances of possible obstruction but declined to make a determination about whether he should be accused of a crime….

Siding with Democrats, Morrell said he feels "strongly" the Justice Department has "NO business" doing a follow-up review of the intelligence community analysis. "It does not have the knowledge & expertise necessary to get the right answers and it could well have a chilling effect across the analytic community," he said in a tweet.

BASED - RON PAUL - ON how the iraq war got started by the DS - this stunning info never made the news - ever
[Congressional Record: January 26, 2011 (House)]
[Page H503]
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Paul) is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, how did the 20-year war get started? It had
been long assumed that the United States Government, shortly before
Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 1990, gave Saddam Hussein a green
light to attack. A State Department cable recently published by
WikiLeaks confirmed that U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie did indeed have
a conversation with Saddam Hussein one week prior to Iraq's August 1,
1990, invasion of Kuwait. Amazingly, the released cable was entitled,
``Saddam's Message of Friendship to President Bush.'' In it, Ambassador
Glaspie affirmed to Saddam that ``the President had instructed her to
broaden and deepen our relations with Iraq.'' As Saddam Hussein
outlined Iraq's ongoing border dispute with Kuwait, Ambassador Glaspie
was quite clear that, ``we took no position on these Arab affairs.''
There would have been no reason for Saddam Hussein not to take this
assurance at face value. The U.S. was quite supportive of his invasion
and war of aggression against Iran in the 1980s. With this approval
from the U.S. Government, it wasn't surprising that the invasion
occurred. The shock and surprise was how quickly the tables were turned
and our friend, Saddam Hussein, all of a sudden became Hitler
personified.
The document was classified, supposedly to protect national security,
yet this information in no way jeopardized our security. Instead, it
served to keep the truth from the American people about an event
leading up to our initial military involvement in Iraq and the region
that continues to today.
DS then took further action vs Bush loyalists Weinberger et al with Special Counsel appt. and prosecution - actions which assured that BC beat GHWB in the next election - then GUESS WHO freed them from the witch hunt? YUP - US Attorney General William Barr who told Bush to pardon them all-and after which Barr shut down Walsh's fake investigation entirely.

US Attorney General recommends Romania to give up planned justice laws amendments
Upon completing his visit in Bucharest on June 20, US Attorney General William Barr said he hoped that Romania would reconsider the amendments that "have the potential of undermining the fight against corruption". He also showed confidence that Romania would take action toward an efficient, transparent and impartial justice, local News.ro reported.
Barr said that he took advantage of his visit to Bucharest to reaffirm that the rule of law is a solid principle and that all people, institutions, and entities should be governed and held accountable based on fair laws.
The US Attorney General also spoke about his meeting with Romanian justice minister Ana Birchall. "We are grateful for minister Ana Birchall supporting these principles. We hope that under her leadership and that of other Romanian officials, Romania will revert the recent amendments that risk undermining judiciary system's capacity to fight corruption; we are confident that Romania will take steps to ensure an efficient, transparent and impartial judiciary. I am anxious to improve our partnership and continue our close collaboration on law enforcement with this key ally," he said.
The EU-US meeting at ministerial level in the fields of justice and home affairs took place in Bucharest on June 19, and a joint statement was adopted in which the two sides show that the fight against terrorism is among their priorities.
The EU and US representatives also discussed security in the virtual space and the importance of cross-border access to electronic evidence.

Answer: thehill tweet: https://archive.fo/wImIf #BREAKING: Trump says Obama may have committed treason, refuses to elaborate on specific charges http://hill.cm/HBDahvF 11:49 PM · Jun 22, 2020 ARTICLE REFERENCED: Trump says Obama may have committed treason By Morgan Chalfant - 06/22/20 07:43 PM EDT Updated at 8:12 p.m. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/503993-trump-says-obama-may-have-committed-treason https://archive.fo/cmdQp President Trump on Monday suggested without evidence that his predecessor, former President Obama, committed treason in connection with the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign's contacts with Russia. "Treason. Treason. It's treason," Trump said in an interview with CBN News. The president did not elaborate on the specific charge but repeated his assertion that the previous administration "spied" on his campaign in the course of the Russia probe. "They'd been spying on my campaign," Trump told CBN News's David Brody. "Turned out I was right. Let's see what happens to them now." Trump signaled he was looking forward to the results of U.S. Attorney John Durham's ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, calling the Connecticut prosecutor "highly respected" and praising Attorney General William Barr.

Answer: BREITBART: DOJ: Democrats Paid Pennsylvania Election Officials to Stuff Ballot Box by JOHN BINDER21 May 2020 https://archive.fo/VqyTf A former Judge of Elections in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has been charged and pleaded guilty to illegally adding votes for Democrat candidates in judicial races in 2014, 2015, and 2016. On Thursday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges against former Judge of Elections Domenick DeMuro, 73, for stuffing the ballot box for Democrats in exchange for payment by a paid political consultant. The charges, and guilty plea, include conspiracy to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific Democrat candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections and a violation of the Travel Act. “The Trump administration’s prosecution of election fraud stands in stark contrast to the total failure of the Obama Justice Department to enforce these laws,†Public Interest Legal Foundation President Christian Adams said in a statement. “Right now, other federal prosecutors are aware of cases of double voting in federal elections as well as noncitizen voting. Attorney General William Barr should prompt those other offices to do their duty and prosecute known election crimes.â€
Extra Answer: SCREENSHOT: https://postimg.cc/t1Swd0Zq MORE FROM ARTICLE: According to the indictment, the political consultant allegedly solicited payments from Democrat candidates who hired him, classifying them as “consulting fees.†The payments — which ranged from $300 to $5,000 — were then allegedly used to pay Election Board Officials, such as DeMuro, in exchange for those officials illegally adding votes for the consultants’ Democrat candidates. DeMuro admitted that he illegally added votes for Democrats on Election Day and then certified later that the votes counted were accurate. “DeMuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear,†U.S. Attorney William McSwain said in a statement. “This is utterly reprehensible conduct. The charges announced today do not erase what he did, but they do ensure that he is held to account for those actions.†The criminal complaint has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The case number is 2:20-cr-00112-PD.

AP Exclusive: Justice Dept dropping Flynn's criminal case WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution... apnews.com 11:29 AM - 7 May 2020 AP EXCLUSIVE: Justice Dept dropping Flynn's criminal case By MICHAEL BALSAMO and ERIC TUCKER https://apnews.com/ae1ad252bb13490db2ceffc5d17b6d92 https://archive.fo/mQWhc WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution that became a rallying cry for Trump and his supporters in attacking the FBI’s Russia investigation. The move is a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the last three years had maintained that Flynn had lied to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in a January 2017 interview. Flynn himself admitted as much, and became a key cooperator for Mueller as he investigated ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. In court documents being filed Thursday, the Justice Department said it is dropping the case “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.†The documents were obtained by The Associated Press. The Justice Department said it had concluded that Flynn’s interview by the FBI was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn†and that the interview on January 24, 2017 was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.†The U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, Jeff Jensen, recommended the move to Attorney General William Barr last week and formalized the recommendation in a document this week. “Through the course of my review of General Flynn’s case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case,†Jensen said in a statement. “I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed.â€

- Question: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/durham-scrutinizing-john-brennans-handling-of-russian-interference-in-2016 Read carefully. Sound familiar? Sometimes a leak turns into a flood.
Answer: WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Durham scrutinizing John Brennan’s handling of Russian interference in 2016 by Jerry Dunleavy | February 14, 2020 09:02 AM https://archive.fo/heDFU U.S. Attorney John Durham is reportedly reviewing John Brennan’s analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of the former Obama CIA director’s handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin. Durham, who was selected by Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to look into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the government’s response to Moscow’s meddling, is investigating whether Brennan’s CIA was attempting to keep other agencies in the dark as he pushed for a specific preconceived analytic assessment about Russia’s true intentions in 2016, the New York Times reported Thursday. The top Connecticut prosecutor’s team reviewed emails from the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency analysts who came together to assess Russia’s interference, the new report revealed, and Durham’s investigators pressed for answers about why some agencies at least temporarily denied other agencies access to secretive intelligence about the Kremlin’s active measures campaign. Durham interviewed agents and analysts from all three agencies, and the report said he was scrutinizing whether the clash over intelligence sharing was the typical sort of bureaucratic turf battle over jealously guarded secrets or an effort to cover something up. Much of this revolves around how the United States government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian meddling and whether Brennan was pushing for a biased result. One major battle was about the identity and credibility of a CIA source allegedly close to the Kremlin. The NSA wanted more details about him, which the CIA resisted before providing them. The NSA then disagreed with the CIA and FBI about how much confidence to place in the source. At least some intelligence officials were disturbed by a law enforcement officer such as Durham inquiring into the assessments made by intelligence agencies, though Durham played a similar role in his Obama-era investigation into the CIA's destruction of tapes showing the harsh interrogation of detainees. Durham hasn’t yet interviewed Brennan, though the report said his emails and other records have been requested from the CIA by the U.S. attorney. Retired Adm. Mike Rogers, who was head of the NSA at the time, was interviewed by Durham last summer and fall.

Open Answer: MORE ON BRENNAN: Brennan took a trip to Moscow in March 2016. Originally reported by Interfax, then picked up by the newswires forcing the CIA to officially comment. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2016/03/28/cia-director-brennan-made-secret-trip-to-moscow-a52284 John Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), made a secret visit to Moscow in March, according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov. The visit, he said, had nothing to do with Russia's decision two weeks ago to begin withdrawing from Syria. “It’s no secret that Brennan was here,†Syromolotov was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying Monday. “But he didn't visit the Foreign Ministry. I know for sure that he met with the Federal Security Service (the successor agency to the Soviet KGB), and someone else.†https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-usa-cia/cia-boss-brennan-visited-moscow-in-early-march-interfax-idUSKCN0WU0S5 https://sputniknews.com/politics/201603281037100681-brennan-moscow-visit/ US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan travelled to Moscow in early March to reiterate the US support for a power transition in Syria as well as urge commitment to maintain the cessation of hostilities in the country, CIA spokesman Dean Boyd told Sputnik on Monday. https://libertyunyielding.com/2018/04/22/astonishing-date-former-cia-director-john-brennan-visited-fsb-russia/ Much as we would ordinarily choose to take Boyd’s word for this, his statement doesn’t necessarily add up. For one thing, the FSB is not a service the U.S. would talk to about a geopolitical transition in Syria. Brennan might talk to the FSB about other things, but the story here doesn’t really track. Russian state policy on the succession in Syria is outside the FSB’s lane. For another thing, the chief of the FSB is not Brennan’s counterpart in Russia on such matters.
