House Judiciary Chairman Bob

Goodlatte (R-VA), Freedom Caucus
Chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) Rep.
Jim Jordan (R-OH) and House Oversight
Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) are
meeting with senior DOJ officials on
Capitol Hill Wednesday to discuss the
ongoing production of Spygate
documents.

According to Fox News’ Catherine Herridge, GOP

lawmakers have discovered new documents related to the
phony dossier after Lisa Page’s closed-door deposition.

“Lawmakers are aware of new records after

the recent closed-door depositions from
FBI agent Peter Strzok and his former
colleague and lover FBI lover Lisa Page.”
Catherine Herridge said. “Lawmakers are
now seeking records related to the
controversial Trump dossier. An internal
FBI file documenting bureau efforts to Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark
verify the salacious allegations,” Herridge Meadows (R-NC) blasted the
continued. Department of Justice Wednesday
morning before he headed into the
meeting on Capitol Hill.
Other documents are related to former Deputy Director of
the FBI Andrew McCabe’s memos that document alleged “Enough is enough” Meadows said “people
‘obstruction’ of the Russia probe. need to be held accountable.”

GOP lawmakers will also be discussing the FBI’s use of an

informant(s) during the 2016 election to target Trump’s
campaign.

 Vladimir Putin Goes Off Script And Calls Out Corrupt
Faction Of 'Deep State' While This Video Montage Lays
Out The 'Game Changer' That Happened While
Much Of America Was Sleeping
By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die
July 25, 2018

In this new story from the Daily Mail they report upon
Russia's newest nuclear weapons that can strike any place
at all upon the planet Earth and wipe out an area the size of
Texas or France as seen in newly released military video
footage which we've republished in the video montage at
the bottom of this story. We also created a gif image of one
of those videos seen below.
With each missile capable of holding up to 10 large
nuclear warheads or 16 smaller ones, the Daily Mail story
reports that each warhead is capable of being steered to
strike a different target and currently, there are no defenses
against this new technology. With the RS-28 Sarmat
missiles capable of making sharp twists and turns on the
way to its target making it totally invulnerable to any and
every missile defense system now available in the world.
As the Daily Mail story also reports,
claims that it could wipe out an area the size of Texas or
France. Talk about a 'game changer'.
And while Russia's new invincible nuclear weapons are
one very good reason why President Donald Trump and
America should avoid war with Russia as such a war
would immediately be the very end of the life as we know
it for every single person living here in the US, Americans
should take a very deep look at exactly who is still pushing
for hostilities with Russia and why they are doing so. Why
do factions of the deep state want a nuclear war with a
nuclear super power that could destroy us? As we detail
below this first video, according to numerous experts
including a US military General, Russia now has nuclear
superiority over America.

"the RS-28 Sarmat missiles are able to

deliver up to 24 of Russia's new Avangard
hypersonic gliders, each of which can carry
its own nuclear payload. There is currently
no method of defence against the
Avangard cruise missiles, which can
allegedly travel at 20 times the speed of
sound."

And while the mainstream media and some politicians on

the left are still mindlessly pushing for hostilities with
Russia while claiming that President Trump is in the
pocket of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a recent poll
from Gallup shows that a huge percentage of the American
people could care less about President Trump's alleged
'Russian collusion' with less than 1% of Americans even
having it on their radars.
With RS-28 Sarmat just the latest futuristic weapon to
emerge out of Russia as we see in the 2nd video below
which breaks down 6 different futuristic Russia weapons
for us, the RS-28 Sarmat, perhaps quite appropriately
nicknamed 'Satan 2', is getting the most attention for
As we hear in the video directly below from Russian
President Vladimir Putin who absolutely goes off script,
there are people here in America who are undermining
President Trump's and Americas relationship with Russia,
doing their very best to sabotage Trump and Putin's
summit. And while Putin doesn't call out these people by
name, it's quite easy to understand who he's talking about
when he references people here in America who are
prepared to sacrifice US-Russia relations for ambitions
within their own political party.

In fact, even President Trump recently called some of them
out by name when he suggested he's considering stripping
the security clearances of people such as John Brennan,
James Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Susan
Rice. Yet as the Washington Standard recently asked,
a look back to March 28th of this year reminds us that
according to Republican Senator James Inhofe, "right now,
we're helpless" in reference to Russia's new hypersonic
nuclear weapons.

"what are you waiting on Mr. President?"

And as General John Hyten, commander of the US

According to this July 13th story over at Zero Hedge, a
huge percentage of the Russian people believe that a
shadowy one-world global government exists and that it's
hostile to the Russian nation.
Reporting that state-run Russian public opinion research
agency VTSIOM took the poll which found 67% of the
Russian people believe in a secret global government
while only 21% said they didn't believe such a 'conspiracy'
existed, it's clear by listening to Putin talk in the video
above that he knows what the Russian people understand
and the 'shadowy global government' they refer to
With Americans now taking the 'red pill' in staggering
amounts as is seen in the viral #WalkAway movement, the
fact that the mainstream media apparatus and the left are
calling #WalkAway 'Russian propaganda' gives us more
proof that Trump derangement syndrome still runs rampant
with people being called 'Russian propaganda' actually
being staunchly pro-America and anti-globalism.
Strategic Command also said in March as was reported
within this Breitbart story, the US is unable to stop the new
hypersonic missiles from Russia or China. Urging the US
to accelerate the development of our own high velocity
rocket technology so that we might have a fighting chance
of keeping up with those two nations, it sure sounds like
the strategic balance of power HAS been altered when
people such as General Hyten and Senator Inhofe make
remarks such as those.
And as Dr. Peter Vincent Pry himself reported on ANP
back on March 14th, the doctrine of MAD (mutually
assured destruction) that kept the US and Russia away
from nuclear war for many decades is no longer 'mutual'.
As Dr. Pry reported then, Russia now has nuclear
superiority over the US thanks to their new hypersonic
missile technology. So to those within the deep state who
are still pushing for war with Russia, they really need to
read the current headlines and realize that such a war is
one that everybody loses.

And it's those of us who are hoping to avoid a potentially

world-ending war with Russia who are called 'Russia
propagandists' since the 'Nazi' label that they were putting
upon Conservatives earlier wore out very quickly.

While this new story over at Vice's Motherboard reports

that Russia's new super-weapons are mostly hype and that
some experts claim that the power of these weapons are
greatly exaggerated and that
As Dr. Pry also reported on ANP back on June 21st,
"none of the new weapons fundamentally
another one of Russia's futuristic new weapons is an
alter the balance of power between Russia
artificially intelligent drone submarine called 'POSEIDON'
and its rivals, including the United
that could deliver a monster 100-megaton nuclear
States....at least, not yet",
10
warhead, a doomsday weapon to the core potentially
unleashing a tsunami to US coastlines, flooding US cities
and leaving them uninhabitable wastelands for perhaps
hundreds of years.

"Russia's doomsday bomb is real" Dr. Pry

reported then.

With Russia's futuristic new nuclear weapons giving

President Trump and America every reason to avoid war
with them and instead, work to better our relations, we can
only imagine what America and the world might look like
right now had Hillary Clinton won and those pushing for
war with Russia gotten their way.

And within the video montage seen below we get a closer

look at Russia's new and allegedly invincible nuclear
weapons, futuristic weapons that have altered the balance
of power in the world. The final video below is titled

"Moscow Is Ready for Nuclear War As In

Lots Of Bunkers For The Population"

within which we see the massive prep Russia has made for
nuclear war and to shelter the Russian population while
virtually nothing has been done to protect the American
people should nuclear war break out.

 Trump’s Job Approval Rating Proves
The Establishment Media’s Influence Is Dead
By John Nolte
24 Jul 2018

Over the past two weeks, as the

establishment media have accused him
of being both a “Nazi” and a “traitor,”
President Donald Trump’s job approval
rating has held steady — and even
improved a tad.

Below is a screenshot of the Real Clear Politics poll of

polls graph that shows Trump’s approval rating over the
last 14 days. The red line is Trump’s disapproval rating,
the black is his approval rating. The two almost perfectly
flat lines are superb symbols of the death of the media’s
influence on public opinion.

12
If you recall, two weeks ago, the media were calling
Trump and his supporters Nazis because Trump, like his
predecessors, separated illegal alien adults and children at
the border.
And throughout last week, the media were freaking out
even more with their attacks on Trump as a “traitor”
because he did not violate diplomatic norms and publicly
shame Russian President Vladimir Putin at a press
conference in Helsinki — because he retains a healthy
skepticism regarding the disgraced Intelligence
Community’s assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016
election.
If you were to go only by the media bubble, by the
fabricated reality the media build within that bubble, you
would assume Trump’s approval ratings were being driven
into the thirties, maybe even the twenties. But that is not
happening for a number of reasons.
Most of all, as poll after poll proves, the public have (for
good reason) lost faith in the media’s credibility. Voters
accurately see the media as the propaganda arm of the
Democratic Party. A huge majority of Americans (an
incredible 72 percent) have caught on to the fact that the
establishment media are so hysterically biased against
Trump and Republicans, they invent fake news, which of
course, is true.
Voters are also sticking with Trump because his critics in
the media and elsewhere are so over-the-top in their
fevered hate, in their unhinged hyperbole, that by
comparison, despite his mistakes and shortcomings, Trump
remains the preferred alternative.
Finally, voters are much more interested in actions than
words. While Trump can be crude and belligerent, his
policies are working. The economy is thriving, North
Korea is not firing off missiles and threatening nuclear
war, ISIS is all but destroyed, and Russia seems a lot less
adventurous than it was under Obama when Putin
maneuvered unchecked into the Crimea and Middle East.
13
Basically, what we are enjoying under Trump, even as the
media and Democrats lose their minds, is the beginning of
an era of true peace and prosperity, something we have not
enjoyed since September 11, 2001 — since George W.
Bush launched his stupid wars, since Barack Obama
ignored ISIS and strangled our economy.
In worse news for the media and Democrats, we now have
two polls that show Trump enjoying record support. His
approval rating in the Gallup poll is as high as it has ever
been, and a recent NBC news poll undoubtedly broke a lot
of spirits at NBC News.
What’s more, in the Rasmussen daily tracking poll, Trump
sits at a healthy 46 percent approval, which is three points
higher than Obama’s rating on this same day during his
first term.
Rasmussen also reports that 41 percent of Americans
believe the country is heading in the right direction and
that this “finding has been running in the 40s for most
weeks this year after being in the mid- to upper 20s for
much of 2016, President Obama’s last full year in office.”
In other words, the number of Americans who feel the
country is on the right track has boomed under Trump.
That is a huge deal, a measurement about how people feel
in Trump’s America, and they are feeling much better than
they did under Obama.
So while a media that have lost the faith and trust of the
American people scream about Nazis and treason, Trump
just keeps on keeping on, delivering on his promises,
which is the smartest thing he can do.
The media remind me of Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense,
inasmuch as they have not yet realized they are dead, but
they are. They have no moral authority, especially against
a fearless president who understands that he will be judged
on results, not a never-ending tantrum from a media
institution with an approval rating just above that of a child
molester.
 Rubin Unhinged: GOP ‘Obstructing Justice’
With Rosenstein Impeachment
By Nicholas Fondacaro
July 25, 2018 11:53 PM EDT
A group of House Republicans dropped a bombshell on
Washington, D.C. Wednesday night when they introduced
articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein. They allege Rosenstein had been
stonewalling the House Judiciary and Oversight
Committees in not turning over documents they requested
for months. But those facts be damned on MSNBC’s All In
where Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin declared
they were the ones “obstructing justice”.
As MSNBC host Chris Hayes was coming back from a
commercial break, he emphatically announced an
impeachment resolution was submitted in the House, but
had to shatter the dreams of his liberal audience since it
wasn’t against President Trump.
“Tonight, articles of impeachment have
been introduced in the United States
House of Representatives, no, not
against Donald Trump. Against Rod
Rosenstein, deputy attorney general,” he
declared. Hayes proclaimed the
impeachment resolution was an “obvious
effort to sandbag the Mueller
investigation” and never informed his
viewers of Rosenstein’s alleged
stonewalling of House committees.
After being introduced, Rubin ironically suggested it was
Ohio Republican Jim Jordan who was the one “losing it”
for confronting Rosenstein in a recent hearing. She went
on to mock Republicans for suggesting it was the
Democrats who were impeachment crazy.
“It’s funny that the Republicans have been
saying, ‘Oh, you put the Democrats in
14
charge they’re going to be running
impeachment hearing, they’re going to be
disrupting business,’” she screeched. “The
only ones talking about impeachment and
impeachment without a scintilla of
justification are, in fact, the Republicans.”
Rubin clearly had missed the all the
Democrats that were running on the
impeachment of President Trump with no
evidence of collusion.
Rubin was disheartened because these Republicans in
question couldn’t be charged as criminals for daring to
impeach Rosenstein.
“So, unfortunately, there is something
called the speech and debate clause which
protects these gentlemen from liabilities
criminal or otherwise because of actions
they take in their official capacity. So they
can't be sued or they can't be investigated.”
he pouted.
“They can’t be investigated for obstruction
of justice, but make no mistake that is what
they are doing. They are obstructing the
investigation. And it just shows you which
side is on the side of the rule of law and
which side is not,” she bitterly spat.
Hayes was also adamant that the impeachment move was
bad for Republicans.
“The politics of this are bad for the
Republican Party, I think, and the reason
that [Speaker] Paul Ryan basically really
went to war, went to the mat not to have a
 privileged resolution,” he explained. “He
thinks, and I think he’s correct, that doesn't
look good coming into the midterms.”
“He may be weak and spineless, but he is
not stupid. And I think he realizes this is the
kind of floor show that the Republicans
probably don’t need,” Rubin responded.
According to Rubin, Republicans had
bought into “this nonsense” about the
collusion aspect of the investigation being a
witch hunt and the American people didn’t.
“[T]his is not a good look for the
Republicans [going into the midterms],” she
argued.
With each passing day, Jennifer Rubin’s Trump
Derangement Syndrome seems to be getting worse.
The transcript is below:
MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes
July 25, 2018
8:17 p.m Eastern
CHRIS HAYES: Tonight articles of impeachment have been
introduced in the United States House of Representatives, no,
not against Donald Trump. Against Rod Rosenstein, deputy
attorney general. Republican members of Congress led by Mark
Meadows of North Carolina, Jim Jordan of Ohio have filed the
articles in what appears to be an obvious effort to sandbag the
Mueller investigation, which Rosenstein overseas. According to
records kept by the House of Representatives, the successful
impeachment of a Justice Department official would be
unprecedented.
(…)
Jennifer this action today was preceded by an internal fight about
whether they were going to do this. And they threaten to file it as
a privileged resolution, which would force a vote on it. They didn’t
do that so Ryan doesn’t have to deal with it. But it’s still
somewhat shocking and remarkable that they have filed articles
of impeachment against the deputy attorney general of the
United States.
15
JENNIFER RUBIN: Yeah, a few weeks ago we thought it was
remarkable that Jim Jordan was losing it in a hearing, ranting and
raving, interrupting poor Rod Rosenstein. But now they have
gone the extra mile. It’s funny that the Republicans have been
saying, “Oh, you put the Democrats in charge they’re going to be
running impeachment hearing, they’re going to be disrupting
business.” The only ones talking about impeachment and
impeachment without a scintilla of justification are, in fact, the
Republicans.
So, unfortunately, there is something called the speech and
debate clause which protects these gentlemen from liabilities
criminal or otherwise because of actions they take in their official
capacity. So they can't be sued or they can't be investigated.
They can’t be investigated for obstruction of justice, but make no
mistake that is what they are doing. They are obstructing the
investigation. And it just shows you which side is on the side of
the rule of law and which side is not.
(…)
HAYES: Here’s what’s interesting about it to me also. The politics
of this are bad for the Republican Party, I think, and the reason
that Paul Ryan basically really went to war, went to the mat not to
have a privileged resolution. Paul Ryan, Jennifer, does not want
to vote on impeaching the deputy attorney general of the United
States. He thinks, and I think he’s correct, that doesn't look good
coming into the midterms.
RUBIN: He may be weak and spineless, but he is not stupid. And
I think he realizes this is the kind of floor show that the
Republicans probably don’t need. It is interesting that it comes up
in the midst of a slew of polls showing that while Republicans
have bought all of this nonsense that the FBI is out to get him
and it’s a hoax. That the American people overwhelmingly do not
believe this. And I think going into midterm elections when there
is going to be a lot of swing states up for grabs, when there are
going to be independents and Democrats who are just fed up
with the noise, this is not a good look for the Republicans. I gotta
say.

 President Trump Slams Michael Cohen After CNN Airs
Private Recording “What Kind Of Lawyer
Would Tape A Client?”
By Cristina Laila
July 25, 2018, 12:05 Pm
President Trump unleashed on his
former attorney Michael Cohen
Wednesday morning for recording a
private conversation between them.
The FBI seized the recording during a pre-dawn raid of
Michael Cohen’s home and office earlier this year.
The Drudge Report ran a blistering
headline Wednesday morning, calling
Michael Cohen “THE RAT” after he
flipped on Trump.
“What kind of lawyer would tape a client?”
President Trump asked.
Trump tweeted:
What kind of a lawyer would tape a client?
So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it
before? Why was the tape so abruptly
terminated (cut) while I was presumably
saying positive things? I hear there are
other clients and many reporters that are
taped – can this be so? Too bad!
16
On Tuesday evening, CNN aired a private recording of
President Trump discussing with his attorney Michael
Cohen how they would purchase rights to Playboy model
Karen McDougal’s story about their 2006 affair.
The private recording is from a conversation between
Trump and Cohen in September of 2016; Cohen’s lawyer
Lanny Davis provided the recording to CNN.
McDougal sold her story to the National Inquirer for
$150,000 but the tabloid, favoring Trump, didn’t run the
story – a practice known as “catch-and-kill.”
Rudy Giuliani previously said Trump had no idea he was
being recorded, didn’t make a payment and that he had
done nothing wrong.
It’s a very short clip and the audio is muddled and
inaudible; it’s basically a nothing-burger.
President Trump previously lashed out
at Michael Cohen for taping a private
conversation between them and said it
was probably illegal.
Trump tweeted: Inconceivable that the government would
break into a lawyer’s office (early in the morning) – almost
unheard of. Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would
tape a client – totally unheard of & perhaps illegal. The
good news is that your favorite President did nothing
wrong!
ICYMI here’s the audio:
 The Deep State and Democrats are desperate to pin any
type of ‘hush payment’ Trump may have made to any
woman during the election as a campaign finance
violation.

Michael Cohen also made a $130,000 payment to porn star

Stormy Daniels in the weeks leading up to the election,
which the FBI is also investigating.

 CNN’s Jake Tapper Went
Ballistic At Staff Over Botched Clips
By Aidan Mclaughlin
Jul 25th, 2018, 1:41 Pm
Jake Tapper, CNN’s august and outwardly civil
newsman, blew up at his staff during a commercial break
last week after they botched airing a series of clips on his
show The Lead, a reliable CNN production source told
Mediaite.
During last Tuesday’s broadcast, Tapper — who had just
returned from Helsinki — covered President Donald
Trump‘s ever-changing explanation for his press
conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in
which he cast doubt on US intelligence that the Kremlin
was behind meddling in the 2016 election.
There were three clips that Tapper’s team had lined up for
his show. They were, in chronological order:
1. Trump, at Putin presser says, “I don’t see any reason
why it would be Russia”
2. Trump, in televised statement, says he meant to say “I
don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia.”
3. Trump, in televised statement, says he accepts that
Russia meddled, before adding, “Could be other people
also.”
In the clip above, you can watch Tapper ask his team to
run clip No. 3.
Tapper said:
“[Trump] still couldn’t help himself. Bottom
line, he doesn’t believe and accept the
intelligence community’s assessment. So
.
18
he contradicts himself even when asserting
that he does. Let’s run that clip once more.”
Tapper’s team played clip No. 1.
Tapper responded:
“Okay, so that’s what he said yesterday,
now let’s run the clip from today, when he
undermines his attempted contradiction.”
(Again, requesting clip number 3).
His team ran clip No. 2.
An exasperated Tapper responded:
“Then he said, that, uh, he did accept the
conclusion of the intelligence community,
and then he undermined it, and I’d like to
play that clip.”
His team didn’t play any clip, and Tapper stared into the
rolling camera before giving up — shaking his head and
declaring:
“Alright, we don’t have the clip for some
reason.”
During the commercial break, we are told that Tapper went
ballistic, berating his staff in front of the entire studio for
“not reading my emails!”
Our source described the outburst as “unhinged” and
“bananas,” replete with a lot of shouting about the staff’s
incompetence.
CNN declined to comment.
If, by chance, you have video of the incident we would
love to see it.

 White House Delays
Trump-Putin Meeting, Blames Mueller Probe
The Announcement Appears To Be Part Of An Optics Push
That Trump Is Getting Tough On Russia.
By LOUIS NELSON
07/25/2018 02:42 PM EDT - Updated 07/25/2018 03:09 PM EDT
President Donald Trump will wait until 2019 to host Russian
President Vladimir Putin, national security adviser John Bolton said.

President Donald Trump will not host Russian President
Vladimir Putin in Washington until 2019, White House
national security adviser John Bolton said Wednesday,
because it is Trump’s preference not to do so until
“the Russia witch hunt is over.”
“The President believes that the next
bilateral meeting with President Putin
should take place after the Russia witch
hunt is over, so we've agreed that it will be
after the first of the year,” Bolton said in a
statement distributed through the White
House press pool.
Despite the White House’s announced timeline for a
second Putin meeting, there is no hard deadline for special
counsel Robert Mueller to wrap up his Russia
investigation, which Trump has often referred to as a
"witch hunt." And there is no public indication that
Mueller will do so by the end of the year.
The announcement appears part of a larger push from the
Trump administration to publicly stiffen its spine against
Russia. There are also plans for a National Security
Council meeting on election security, and Secretary of
.
19
State Mike Pompeo issued a statement on Wednesday that
the U.S. will never recognize Russia’s military annexation
of Crimea away from Ukraine.
The White House initially announced last week that Trump
had invited Putin to Washington this coming fall, with the
president himself tweeting that he was looking forward to
a second sit-down with his Russian counterpart after their
bilateral meeting last week in Finland was a “great
success.”
But Putin appeared hesitant to accept Trump’s invitation,
with Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov saying on Tuesday that
“there are other options [to meet] which our
leaders can look at,” including the G-20
summit in Argentina this November.
“After the [Helsinki] summit you know what
kind of atmosphere there is around its
outcome,” Ushakov said, according to
Reuters. “I think it would be wise to let the
dust settle and then we can discuss all
these questions in a business-like way. But
not now.”
Bolton’s scheduling announcement comes on the heels of
Trump’s much-criticized meeting last week with Putin,
one in which the U.S. president appeared willing to accept
his counterpart’s denial that Russia was behind a 2016
campaign of cyberattacks intended to interfere in the
presidential election. Trump also expressed interest in
allowing Americans, including a former ambassador to
Moscow, to be interrogated by Russian investigators.
The White House spent much of last week walking-back
— with varying degrees of success — the president’s
remarks from his bilateral press conference with Putin,
which prompted scathing bipartisan criticism and added
fresh fuel to unverified theories that the Kremlin may
possess compromising information on Trump.

 Top House Democrat Speculates
That Trump ‘Pee Tape’ Is Real
Chuck Ross | Reporter
4:17 PM 07/25/2018

South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn proclaimed with
confidence that one of most salacious claims in the
infamous Steele dossier is accurate, putting the Democrat
at odds with Christopher Steele, the author of the
unverified anti-Trump report.
in the book that Trump spent one night in Moscow during
his trip for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant. Trump
reportedly went to his hotel room after an event at around
1:30 a.m. He spent less than six hours in the room before
showing up for a video shoot that morning.

Clyburn, the third-ranking House Democrat, said that he Clyburn is the second Democratic lawmaker in as many
believes the dossier’s claim that the Russian government is weeks to say he believes the “pee tape” exists.
blackmailing President Donald Trump with a so-called
“pee tape,” in a Wednesday interview.

Asked by the hosts of BuzzFeed’s “AM2DM” show

whether the tape is real, Clyburn speculated,

“Yes, I do. I have not seen anything that

would make me come to any different
conclusion.”
“There’s a lot of smoke here, and when you
see this much smoke, there’s a fire
somewhere,” said Clyburn, who is not on
any of the committees investigating the
allegations made in the dossier.

Clyburn’s cocksure position is at odds with Steele’s level

of confidence about the pee tape.” Steele, a former British
spy, is only “fifty-fifty” on whether the Kremlin is holding
the kompromot on Trump, according to the recent book
“Russian Roulette.

Trump has vehemently denied the allegation, calling the
dossier “crap.”
There is some reason to question the veracity of the pee
tape claim.
One of the alleged sources for the claim is a Belarusian
American businessman named Sergei Millian. The
opposition researcher who hired Steele, a former reporter
named Glenn Simpson, expressed doubts about Millian,
who he considered a “big talker,” according to “Russian
Roulette.”
“Russian Roulette” also established that Trump had very
little time to engage in the activities described in the
dossier. Authors Michael Isikoff and David Corn reported
.
Democratic Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley told BuzzFeed
editor Ben Smith July 16 that he believes something
similar to the tape exists.
“Your view is that the pee tape is real?”
Smith asked Merkley.
“Something close to that,” Merkley said.
“Something close to that.”
BuzzFeed, which published the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017,
has a strong motive to continue putting lawmakers on the
record about whether or not the tape exists.
Several Russian businessmen are suing the outlet for
defamation for publishing the report. BuzzFeed has hired
private investigators in an attempt to prove some of the
allegations in the document.

 Hey, Wait A Minute: Special Ops Veterans
Wonder Why POTUS Trump Won’t Strip HILLARY’s
Security Clearance, Too
Posted On July 25, 2018
The Daily Caller reported:
(National Sentinel) Take them all: On Sunday, Sen. Rand
Paul, Kentucky Republican, said he was going to suggest
to POTUS Donald Trump that he strip security clearances
from Deep State Obama sycophants like John Brennan and
James Clapper.
The former CIA chief and Director of National
Intelligence are likely “monetizing” their clearances as
hired analysts on two of the most Left-wing “news”
networks in existence.
Plus, they’ve been very frequent critics of the president,
which led Paul to believe they may be using their access to
top-level finished intelligence products in a way that
undermines POTUS.
The perpetually angry Left melted down when the White
House later confirmed that POTUS Trump was indeed
considering revoking not just the security clearances of
Brennan and Clapper, but others including former FBI
Director James Comey; former Deputy FBI Director
Andrew McCabe; former National Security Adviser Susan
Rice and former CIA Director Michael Hayden (who also
worked under President George W. Bush).
But there’s one name missing from that
list: Hillary Clinton.
Two former special operations officers are wondering
why she hasn’t been added to the list.
22
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
was not named in the White House’s
Monday announcement that it was
considering revoking six former national
security officials’ security clearances, a 33-
year special forces veteran noticed.
“Frankly, I was shocked that Hillary, the
chief culprit, was omitted,” retired Col.
James Williamson told The Daily Caller
News Foundation. Williamson, who was in
special operations for 30 years and has
held a top-level security since 1982, is
president of OPSEC, a nonpartisan
organization representing retired special
forces and intelligence community officials.
“There is more than ample evidence that
Hillary Clinton committed, whether its gross
negligence, or, as [former FBI Director
James] Comey would like to say, extreme
carelessness,” Williamson told TheDCNF.
“Just from the documented evidence, there
was enough to prosecute. If there’s
evidence to prosecute, then there’s
certainly grounds to pull somebody’s
clearance.”
OPSEC Vice President retired Col. James
Waurishuk agreed.
Clinton “moved classified information from
the State Department to a private server,”
Waurishuk, who served on the National
Security Council and on the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, told TheDCNF. “Her clearance
should have been immediately revoked and
proper action taken to have her removed.
She still carries that crime.”
“She was a risk,” he continued. “That is one
of the things you look at. Is this person a
risk? And yes, she was a risk. From that
standpoint, she should have her clearance
revoked.”
 The organization has been largely And she would have been, had James Comey, Loretta
supportive of Trump’s foreign and military Lynch, Barack Obama and the other Deep State thugs not
policies. thrown the investigation in the hopes some of them would
be working for her as president.
Hillary Clinton trafficked in classified
information. She should have been
charged and convicted on multiple counts Revoke them all!
of mishandling classified information.
She should be wearing prison gray right
now, not this disgusting garment while
still breathing free air.

 Grand Wave Of Wins For President Trump And
Americans Being Deceptively Denied By Liberal
Establishment Media 'RAGE' And Hysteria
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline
July 25, 2018

For example, today, the media is all over

the recorded tape between President
Trump (before his election) and his
personal attorney Michael Cohen that
was leaked to CNN. Aha, we got em!!!
Not so fast say libertarian lawyers and
even some left leaning legal news
websites that bursts their bubbles by
informing folks, nothing illegal was in
that tape. The voices of reason haven't
stopped the media from running the
coverage around the clock and ad-
nauseam.

Media Outrage #2:

The establishment media's "rage" over
their inability to influence and control
the American public during the 2016
presidential election is directly
responsible for their constant
manufactured out"rage," which has led
their news coverage for nearly two
years now.
While they downplay the economic
news, low unemployment, historical low
unemployment for blacks and
Hispanics, regulatory reform, tax cuts,
and other news Americans say are their
top priority in favor of whatever the
media feels should be a priority and
should "outrage" their liberal followers,
there is a third wave of news that gets
mentioned but buried under the
avalanche of the media's preferred
narrative.
The next thing that "outraged" the
media, inciting the same outrage from
their liberal followers, is now on day two
of whining complaints. CRTV's Allie
Beth Stuckey created a hilarious
satirical video where she pretends she
is interviewing the "future of the
Democratic party," the Dem socialist
from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez, using the real answers by Cortez
from her disastrous PBS interview
edited in after Stuckey's pretend
questions.

We'll start with the new outrages of the

day and move on to the good news that
has been glossed over in favor of the
manufactured outrages.

OUTRAGES OF THE DAY

Media Outrage #1:

25
 Conservatives got a kick out it, sharing
it and liking it millions of times across
various social media platforms. Some
reactions, via Twitchy include: The
Reagan Battalion @ReaganBattalion:
“HAHA! Wish this interview happened,
@conservmillen Rocks!” -- Curt
Schilling @gehrig38: “Ok that was funny
:) And the funnier part? I could totally
believe that conversation occurring in
real life.” -- Kassy Dillon @KassyDillon:
“Allie is hilarious.” -- Dan Bongino
@dbongino: “This is hysterical. ��” --
Eddie Zipperer @EddieZipperer: “� � � �
This is HILARIOUS�” -- WELL DONE!"
Evidently the liberal media and their
followers do not appreciate humor from
a conservative viewpoint and started
pointing out the interview was not
"real," and it was "fake news," which
pretty much every conservative that saw
the video already knew...... ummm....
because it is satire.
Satire:
"the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or
ridicule to expose and criticize people's
stupidity or vices, particularly in the context
of contemporary politics and other topical
issues."
New York Times chief Metro political
correspondent, Shane Goldmacher, very
seriously informs his followers "This
faked interview of @Ocasio2018 by
@CRTV has nearly 1 million views on
Facebook. In less than 24 hours.
Interview didn't happen. It takes clips
from @MargaretHoover's show and
edits in faux questions. Not labeled
satire (other than a � emoji)."
I am not sure what is more disturbing,
that he felt the need to be outraged over
a conservative satirical video clip, or
that he thought his 43K followers were
too stupid to see that it was clearly
satire.
He wasn't alone in liberal journalists
offended, outraged and determined to
whine about it publicly, as White House
reporter for QZ Heather Timmons, took
to her account to state "There's still no
way to report CRTV as spreading
misinformation/fake news on FB."
Timmons even went so far as to add a
26
screen shot of her attempting to report
the satirical video to FB claiming it was
"fake news."
Intercept reporter Robert Mackey,
claims the video was "presented as
real," and bitterly complains it had "1.1
million views in less than 24 hours."
(More at Twitchy, and more and more)
The Verge claimed the video blurred the
line between "bad satire and 'fake
news'."
Vox's video producer actually spent a
whole minute "debunking" this
interview, stating "Wow. This is Ocasio-
Cortez's PBS intv w/ Margaret Hoover
(https://www.pbs.org/video/alexandria-
ocasio-cortez-barhhq/ …) spliced
together w/ a CRTV "interviewer."
Notice that they never appear on camera
together, and the interviewer shot is lit
different + higher res? Took 1min on
google to sort out. Reprehensible."
Now that the liberal media meltdown
over a satirical video has helped it reach
more 2.2 million views just on
Facebook, not to mention tens of
thousands more on Twitter and
YouTube, liberals are on day two of
complaining after Stuckey responded to
their criticisms by informing them: "1) I
am not sorry. 2) It’s not coming down. 3)
I will make another one. 4) You don’t
have to hate Trump to use humor. 5) I
don’t have to warn you when I’m about
to tell a joke."
One would think all that media/liberal
outrage would have tired them out, but
no, they found something else to
complain about.
Media Outrage #3: During his speech at a
Veterans of Foriegn Wars (VWF)
convention in Kansas City, Missouri,
President Trump told the audience of
veterans "Don't believe the crap you see
from these people, the fake news,"
pointing at the media section, then the
veterans started booing and jeering the
journalists, and right on cue, media
members went to Twitter to whine about
it.

White House Bureau Chief at The Washington Post, Philip
Rucker:
"'Stick with us. Don’t believe the crap you
see from these people, the fake news,'
Trump says at Veterans of Foreign Wars
convention. Scores of veterans, right on
cue from commander in chief, point to
press riser and boo and hiss."
National Security Correspondent at BuzzFeed, Vera
Bergengruen:
"Trump, the commander in chief, points to
the press in the back, veterans boo, jeer
and applaud. Unsettling."
On and on the outrage machine whined and complained....
you get the point.
WHAT THE MEDIA HIDES WITH THEIR
MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE
Other items of news, even when reported by the
establisment media, otherwise known as the propaganda
arm for the Democratic party, is so overwhelmed by their
outrage of the day (or week), that news that is good for
Americans across the board, and specifically news that
conservatives would find comforting, is literally buried
before many even notice it.
This includes economic news, mentioned at the beginning
of this article, but also includes pockets of stories that
show an underlying shift from the Obama-era policies and
influence.
This first example counts as "media outrage" and falls
under the header of "about time." ( A Twofer!)
During the Obama era, his Justice department and other
agencies followed along with the new media guidelines in
labeling "illegal aliens" as "undocumented immigrants," in
order to confuse the masses as to the fact that when
27
immigrants enter the country illegally, they are committing
a crime.
In August of 2017, liberals and pro-illegal immigrations
advocates were quite outraged that under the Trump
administration, the DOJ issued a press release that referred
to illegal aliens as just that.... illegal aliens.
Yesterday, liberals became outraged again, when a DOJ
internal memo was published where they instructed their
U.S. Attorneys offices to start using the statutory language
from U.S. code in their press releases. They have been
instructed to use the legally correct term "illegal alien,"
rather than "undocumented immigrants."
Despite the fact that the very definition of "illegal alien" is:
"a foreigner who has entered or resides in
a country unlawfully or without the country's
authorization," as well as that being the
statutory language in U.S. Code, the
predictable outrage ensued across social
media, incited by the media's outrage.
The second example of good news for Americans that
have respect for the law, versus judicial activism from the
bench/liberal judges, is a couple of Second Amendment
wins that while being reported, have been buried under the
onslaught of outrage by the media.
Via The Hill:
A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled
that the Constitution's Second Amendment
grants people the right to openly carry a
gun in public for self-defense.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals made
the ruling while rejecting a claim from
Hawaii officials that the right should only
apply to guns kept at home.
The ruling was issued by a three-judge
panel on the court and came about a year
 after the Supreme Court decided not to rule
on the case.
Two of the three judges on the 9th Circuit
voted to reverse a decision by the U.S.
District Court in Hawaii that said officials
did not infringe on the rights of George
Young — the plaintiff who was twice denied
a permit to carry a gun in public.
“We do not take lightly the problem of gun
violence,” Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain
wrote in Tuesday’s ruling. “But, for better or
for worse, the Second Amendment does
protect a right to carry a firearm in public
for self-defense.”
Another win stems from the Obama administration's State
Department had forced a company to remove blueprints
for a 3D pistol called "The Liberator," by threatening the
owner of the company, Cody Wilson with jail in 2013.
Last week the Trump administration, "seemingly out of the
blue," according to Vice News, agreed to settle the case,
and agreed to pay Wilson's legal fees of nearly $40,000.
As of August 1, 2018, the company, Defense Distributed,
will be able to publish the blueprints "without fear of
reprisal by the U.S. State Department."
The third example is a huge free speech win. A student
who was suspended from Liberty High School in Hillsboro
back in January, for wearing a T-shirt that said "Donald J.
Trump Border Wall Construction Co., after refusing to
cover the shirt up or go home, sued the high school, the
principal and the Hillsboro School District, arguing they
violated his First Amendment rights.
In May, a federal judge issued a restraining order against
the school, which barred it from enforcing its earlier
decision to ban the student from wearing the shirt for the
remainder of the year.
On Tuesday the student's lawyer announced they had reach
a settlement, where the Principal
"will issue a letter of apology, and the
district will pay $25,000 for Barnes' attorney
fees."
"I brought this case to stand up for myself
and other students who might be afraid to
express their right-of-center views,'' Barnes
said in a statement. "Everyone knows that
if a student wears an anti-Trump shirt to
school, the teachers won't think twice about
it. But when I wore a pro-Trump shirt, I got
suspended. That's not right.''
.
28
Barnes' lawyers said the message on the
shirt wasn't the point of the case. High
school students have the right to express
their political views, they said.
"We brought the case to police the thought
police,'' attorney Brad Benbrook said.
BOTTOM LINE
There are pockets of news like that
shown above, buried under an
avalanche of fake media outrage on a
daily basis. These are small in the scope
of things, but point to a larger "wave"
for lack of a better word, where wrongs
are being righted, decisions made by
the previous administration which
violated the very constitutional rights a
government is supposed to uphold, are
being overturned and reversed by the
Trump administration.
Sure there are much bigger problems
and issues, but as we see example after
example of news that would be popular
with the majority Americans, get
downplayed and hidden, we have to
wonder if it is only "rage" and a nearly
two year temper tantrum from the
establishment media, or if hiding news
which would find a great amount of
support from the public, isn't part of the
reason the media continues to
manufacture such over-the-top outrage?
It is almost like the media simply
doesn't want the public to see any good
during the Trump presidency.
 ‘Hardball’ A-Block Freaks Over ‘Delusional,’
‘Strong Man’ Trump, Compares Him To John Wilkes Booth
By Curtis Houck
July 25, 2018 5:33 PM EDT
Day after day in the Trump era, one has to wonder if the
left and their media allies will run out of panic buttons to
push. Such was the case Tuesday night on MSNBC’s
Hardball as host Chris Matthews and his A-Block
panelists accused the President of being a “delusional”
“strong man” than ever and akin to John Wilkes Booth
agreeing to criminal questioning without having to talk
about Ford’s Theater.
Matthews started the show by screeching “strong man”
and added after the opening credits that
“President Donald Trump's behavior
over the last week is yet more evidence
that he yearns to be a strong man, more
autocratic than democratic, unbound by
law, precedent or the truth.”
He also wondered upon reading a Trump tweet about the
possibility of Russian interference in the 2018 midterm
election
“if Trump knows he is channeling
Richard Nixon with those words when
Nixon was caught up in a scandal of his
own”
when he pondered staging a break-in at the Republican
National Committee following the one carried out against
the Democrats.
“Well, this comes as Trump threatens
political retribution against numerous
former intelligence officials who have
criticized his behavior towards Russia.
Republican Senator Bob Corker said
today that Trump’s threats to pull their
29
security clearances resembles the
behavior of an autocrat,” Matthews
gleefully added.
Chiming in as the token liberal Republican, Susan Del
Percio opined that it’s clear that
“Donald Trump is a lot more of a
simpleton than Nixon was” because “he
is just looking for anything to muddle
up the environment.”
MSNBC legal analyst and former Watergate prosecutor Jill
Wine-Banks also sounded the alarm, telling Matthews that
there’s
“[s]o many similarities between the
Nixon Watergate and what’s happening
now” but these times are “much more
threatening because at least the people
who were involved in the crimes were
Americans” while “[t]his one is a foreign
adversary of ours and that makes it
much more serious.”
On Trump’s idea of revoking security clearances from
former intelligence officials, the PBS NewsHour’s
Yamiche Alcindor spoke like a true liberal journalist,
offering spin that “[t]his is not about politics” but instead
protecting American national security (instead of John
Brennan and James Clapper enriching themselves with
cable news deals and leaking to journalists).
Matthews later took aim at House Speaker
Paul Ryan dismissing this hysteria as
Trump “trolling” everyone, shouting about
Ryan being “so chicken” and showcasing
“how, through all of this, Republican
members of Congress have largely
stood by this President.”
Mother Jones’s David Corn later responded:
It’s lying and then when you have Paul
Ryan said, it is just trolling. Well, no, it’s not
just trolling. They are doing this. So, you
have a liar, an autocrat, and someone who
talks as if he’s delusional all at once and
 may — trying to distract us from the big
picture, what he did with Putin, what’s
happening with the investigation, The
failure of the tariff war and all about his
dangling this craziness in front of us and
we keep chasing after it.
The crudest comparison came on the back end of the A-
Block when, after reading a Bloomberg piece about
demands from Trump’s legal team for a Mueller interview,
Matthews compared Trump to Booth:
This is sort of like John Wilkes Booth will take any
question except the question with Ford’s Theater. I mean,
this is about sorry, this is about obstruction. It is the first
tranche of charges that are expected to come from Robert
Mueller’s team. Obstruction of justice charges. He says I
won’t talk about obstruction of justice because that gets to
motive and I’m not going to give you my motive.

MSNBC’s Hardball
July 24, 2018
7:00 p.m. Eastern
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Strong man, let's play Hardball.
[HARDBALL OPENING CREDITS] Good evening, I'm Chris
Matthews in Washington. President Donald Trump's behavior
over the last week is yet more evidence that he yearns to be a
strong man, more autocratic than democratic, unbound by law,
precedent or the truth. Last week in Helsinki, he denounced the
intelligence community, praised the work of a Russian tyrant and
talked of sending American officials over to Russia for
interrogation. This week, he’s cried delegitimate reporting as fake
news, attacked his own Department of Justice and threatened
war with Iran as if taking the country to war was entirely up to
him. Now he is accusing the Democrats of what he stands
accused. After the special counsel established that the president
was aided by an illegal Russian conspiracy, Trump is trying to
desperately turn the tables, fearing the prospect of big losses in
2018, he’s saying with no evidence that Russians will be out
there helping the Democrats this November. “Based on the fact
that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will
be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don’t
30
want Trump!” Wow. I wonder if Trump knows he is channeling
Richard Nixon with those words when Nixon was caught up in a
scandal of his own. After the break-in in the Democratic National
Committee, Nixon suggested that his operatives stage a similar
break-in at the Republican National Committee to create the
appearance that the Democrats were just as bad as the
Republicans.
(....)
MATTHEWS: Well, Trump's tweet today suggested the
Democrats will benefit this fall from Russia's interference. It’s
particularly ill-founded considering that, just last week Putin
admitted that he wanted Trump, a Republican to win in 2016.
[PUTIN VS. JEFF MASON AT HELSINKI]
MATTHEWS: Well, this comes as Trump threatens political
retribution against numerous former intelligence officials who
have criticized his behavior towards Russia. Republican Senator
Bob Corker said today that Trump’s threats to pull their security
clearances resembles the behavior of an autocrat.
REPUBLICAN SENATOR BOB CORKER: I can't even believe
that somebody at the White house thought up something like this.
I mean, when you’re going to start taking retribution against
people who are your political enemies in this matter, that’s the
kind of thing that happens in Venezuela where I was just
recently, so you just don't do that and I can't — I can’t believe
they even allowed it to be aired. Just to be honest, it is a banana
republic kind of thing.
(....)
DEL PERCIO: And Donald Trump is a lot more of a simpleton
than Richard Nixon was. And, at this point, he is just looking for
anything to muddle up the environment and not put blame at his
own feet. The fact is the way he has been acting has hurt
Republicans in swing districts and the — we are seeing more and
more proof in the polling that the Democrats are off to at least
take back the House with 23 seats and maybe go as high as 40.
MATTHEWS: Yeah, but it’s not because of the help of the guy —
the Rasputin over there.
DEL PERCIO: No, absolutely not. It’s because of the — Donald
Trump is colluding to create this bad problem.
(....)
JILL WINE-BANKS: So many similarities between the Nixon
Watergate and what’s happening now. Only now I think is much
more threatening because at least the people who were involved
in the crimes were Americans. This one is a foreign adversary of
ours and that makes it much more serious and Donald Trump
makes up things. He says them repeatedly. He’s learned that if
you say them over and over often enough that people will believe
it and that’s why he keeps saying no collusion. That’s why he
keeps saying things that have absolutely no facts behind them
just like this. It's clear from our intelligence reports and from the
indictment that the Russians were trying to help Nixon — I'm
sorry, were trying to help Trump.
MATTHEWS: Same difference.
RYAN: I think he’s just trolling people.
MATTHEWS: What does that mean? We know what trolling
means, causing the other side to get upset, get them to say
stupid stuff. But why would the Speaker of the House be so
chicken as to not do it? Anyway, it’s another example of how,
through all of this, Republican members of Congress have largely
stood by this President. As the Washington editorial — as The
Washington Post editorial board writes: “From some combination
of fear, coercion and willing appeasement, members of President
Trump's party who should know better debase themselves...in
service of his petty whims.” Meanwhile, a White House
spokesman said tonight that the President has begun the
mechanisms to remove security clearances from the individuals
named yesterday. David Corn, why can't somebody who’s on the
left, right, and center have the same rights? Why can’t a critic of
the President have the same rights as an ex-spook — an ex-
intelligence official as someone out there kissing his butt all day.
It’s the same government. A little freedom would help.

(....)
WINE-BANKS: They have merged in my mind.

CORN: You know, each — we’ve become normalized to Trump's

MATTHEWS: I know. Well, let me go back to Yamiche on this
craziness and today, it’s gone from 11 to 12 to 13 to 15 and —
question. You have Bob Corker, I know he is one of the first
Amendment Republicans because they can only speak on their
way out, right? He’s a First — like Charlie Dent and the rest of MATTHEWS: The number of people he’s yanking?
them and Flake. They’re all talk. He says this third world stuff.
The kind of stuff you get in a Third — I am going to yank your CORN: — in terms of the level of nuts, I mean, he has now said
clearances kind of stuff. Russia does meddle but for the Democrats. I mean, you know —

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: I mean, here’s the thing. I — obviously, MATTHEWS: Oh, I see.
as a reporter, I’m not going to comment on whether it’s right or
wrong to do that. But there’s this idea that president trump is CORN: — that’s a complete flip. Then, this banana —
politicizing every part of the government, including things that
weren’t politicized. You have the FBI, the DOJ, now you have
whether or not high ranking security officials are going to be able
to have the security clearances if they have to give their opinions
on things. The reason why they keep their security clearances is
because they need to be consulted at times if something big is
happening, if you need to go back to talk to a former CIA director.
That’s not about politics. That’s about whether or not there’s a
national security risk and you need to go back to the guy before
you. So, this President is saying I don't like what you are saying
about me and I’m personally affronted by saying what you’re
saying about me, so I am going do this to you.

(....)
MATTHEWS: That is not a hoax. A hoax is not a hoax.
HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL RYAN: I think he is trolling people
honestly. This is something that is in the purview of executive CORN: — no, it’s not a hoax now. It was a hoax, and now it is not
branch. I think some of these people have lost their clearances. a hoax.
Some people keep their clearances. That’s something that the
executive branch deals with. It’s not really in our purview. MATTHEWS: So, we’ll make up a hoax.

KASIE HUNT: But is — I mean, with the banana republic
comments that some of your colleagues have made.
31
CORN: It’s completely — it doesn't have a sense of logic. It’s
lying and then when you have Paul Ryan said, it is just trolling.
Well, no, it’s not just trolling. They are doing this. So, you have a
liar, an autocrat, and someone who talks as if he’s delusional all
at once and may — trying to distract us from the big picture, what
he did with Putin, what’s happening with the investigation, The
failure of the tariff war and all about his dangling this craziness in
front of us and we keep chasing after it.

 EXCLUSIVE: GOP Rep. Gaetz Threatens Twitter With
FEC Complaint Over Twitter Suppression, Claims Twitter
May Be Giving Opponent Illegal Advantage
Peter Hasson &Amp; Joe Simonson | Contributor
2:17 AM 07/26/2018
 Twitter’s recent algorithm change suppressed, or
“shadow-banned,” prominent conservatives,
including Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, a
new report found.
 Gaetz is considering filing a Federal Election
Commission (FEC) complaint against Twitter, he
told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
 Gaetz said his Twitter account’s growth slowed
immediately after Twitter’s recent algorithm
change.
 Twitter acknowledged the “inaccurate” search
results but said it was unrelated to politics.
Rep. Matt Gaetz is considering filing a complaint with the
Federal Election Commission (FEC) over Twitter’s alleged
suppression of his account, the Florida Republican told
The Daily Caller News Foundation on Wednesday.
Gaetz was one of several prominent conservatives,
including members of Congress and the chair of the
Republican National Committee, whose accounts Twitter
suppressed by making it harder to find in the site’s search
function, a Vice News investigation published Wednesday
found.
“Democrats are not being ‘shadow banned’
in the same way,” the report concluded,
noting: “Not a single member of the 78-
person Progressive Caucus faces the
same situation in Twitter’s search.”
Twitter announced in May that the company would rely on
“behavior-based signals” to boost the visibility of some
accounts and to suppress the visibility of others as part of a
step
40
“to improve the health of the public
conversation on Twitter.”
Those changes appear to have had the effect of suppressing
some prominent conservatives on the platform, including
Gaetz, a member of the conservative House Freedom
Caucus.
“The evidence is piling up that I am being
treated differently on Twitter than people on
the political Left and I don’t like that
because I enjoy the Twitter platform, I
enjoy the engagement, I enjoy the candor,”
Gaetz told TheDCNF.
“I would think that having won my election
with 69 percent of the vote to serve in the
Congress that the marketplace of ideas
could accommodate my views,” he
continued.
“I am contemplating a complaint with the
FEC, because if my political opponents
have better access to the Twitter platform
than I do, that’s no different than a private
company giving my political opponents
access to a billboard or television time or
radio time,” Gaetz said. “That wouldn’t be
equal.”
“So I believe that Twitter may have illegally
donated to the campaigns of my opponents
by prejudicing against my content,” he said.
Gaetz saw his growing Twitter account suddenly lost
steam immediately after the algorithm change, he told
TheDCNF.
Twitter representatives
“keep calling and emailing my office saying
that they’re not shadow-banning me, so I
guess I can either believe them or my lying
eyes,” Gaetz said.
“I’m not an algorithm expert. I can tell you
that my office maintains very detailed
records of our Twitter engagement, and
following the change in their protocols in
 May, my growth was cut by about 75
percent,” he added.
Six weeks of social media data provided by Gaetz’s office
to TheDCNF confirms that his account added followers at
a much slower rate in the weeks immediately following the
algorithm change.
Gaetz’s staffers monitor his social media engagement for
Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and track the results in
three-week blocks.
In the three weeks from April 27-May 18, Gaetz’s account
added 3,696 Twitter followers, the data show. Twitter
announced the algorithm change near the end of that three-
week period on May 15.
Gaetz’s account added just 1,072 followers in the next
three weeks from May 18-June 8 — a drop-off of 71
percent. His Facebook and Instagram accounts did not see
similar drop-offs in new users, the data show.
Twitter’s press office did not return multiple requests for
comment from TheDCNF.
Twitter product lead Kayvon Beykpour on Wednesday said
the accounts were hidden in error and blamed the “usage
of the behavior signals within search” for the fact that
conservatives weren’t showing up in search suggestions.
He insisted the suppression was not related to politics.
“To be clear, our behavioral ranking doesn’t
make judgements based on political views
or the substance of tweets. We recently
publicly testified to Congress on this topic,”
Beykpour wrote in a series of tweets.
“Some accounts weren’t being auto-
suggested even when people were
searching for their specific name. Our
usage of the behavior signals within search
was causing this to happen and making
search results seem inaccurate,” he said.
“We’re making a change today that will
improve this.”
.
41
Beykpour did not explain why the Vice investigation
found that prominent conservative accounts were
suppressed more than liberal accounts.
Several members of legacy media have garnered attention
by publicly scaling back their use of Twitter due to its
toxicity, adding pressure on Twitter executives to further
regulate speech on the platform.
Most notably, New York Times White House
correspondent Maggie Haberman published a column in
the paper on July 20 explaining why she will spend
significantly less time on the social media platform.
“The viciousness, toxic partisan anger,
intellectual dishonesty, motive-questioning
and sexism are at all-time highs, with no
end in sight,” Haberman wrote. “It is a
place where people who are
understandably upset about any number of
things go to feed their anger, where the
underbelly of free speech is at its most
bilious.”
Her column caught the eye of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey,
who responded by pledging to “focus more on the
conversational dynamics within Twitter.”
Dorsey shared an article in April saying that domestic
politics have gotten so terrible in the United States that
there “was no bipartisan way forward” and that the country
is on the cusp of a “second civil war.”
“In this current period of American politics,
at this juncture in our history, there’s no
way that a bipartisan path provides the way
forward,” the authors wrote.
As TheDCNF noted at the time, Dorsey’s endorsement of
the article raised the question of how he and his company
can maintain neutrality in what he believes is such a dire
situation.
Dorsey eventually backtracked a few days later, saying
“I should have provided more context why I
thought it was a “great read.'”
 Rosenstein Still Standing
Despite Conservative Push To Impeach
Billy House
26 July 2018, 9:04 AM 26 July 2018, 3:00 AM
(Bloomberg) -- Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
has outlasted months of threats of impeachment or other
punitive action by some of President Donald Trump’s most
loyal allies in the U.S. House, leading some lawmakers to
predict he’s in the clear at least for now.
That assessment comes even as 11 House conservatives
took the dramatic step late Wednesday of filing articles of
impeachment against Rosenstein, based on what they say
has been nearly nine months of stonewalling of
congressional demands for documents and other material.
A summer legislative recess and the election-year calendar
is likely to protect Rosenstein from facing the
impeachment sought by those Republicans.
“I just don’t see that happening,” GOP
Representative Dennis Ross of Florida
said. He and other House and Senate
Republicans say they see no enthusiasm
for taking definitive action against the No. 2
official at the Justice Department -- either
now or nearer to the November election.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
also dismissed the possibility, saying it’s “more likely"
he’d end up "in the NBA playing basketball” than
Rosenstein is to be impeached.
No Immediate Vote
The impeachment resolution was filed by conservative
Representatives Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan and co-
42
signed by nine colleagues. The group, however, stopped
short of using a legislative maneuver that would have
forced a vote before the chamber begins a five-week recess
Thursday. There was no immediate comment from
Speaker Paul Ryan.
Meadows, Jordan and others, including Intelligence
Chairman Devin Nunes, have for months been accusing
Rosenstein of obstructing their efforts to get to the bottom
of anti-Trump bias that they say infected the FBI and
Justice Department during its probe of Democrat Hillary
Clinton’s emails and early in the continuing investigation
into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
Democrats counter that the real goal is to topple
Rosenstein because he named Robert Mueller as special
counsel and oversees his continuing inquiry into the
Russian meddling and whether anyone around Trump
conspired in it. A replacement for Rosenstein could fire
Mueller or narrow the scope of his work, which Trump has
often assailed as a “witch hunt.”
“It is a panicked and dangerous attempt to
undermine an ongoing criminal
investigation in an effort to protect
President Trump as the walls are closing in
around him and his associates,” the top
Democrats on the House Judiciary,
Oversight and Government Reform, and
Intelligence panels said in a joint
statement.
Jerrold Nadler of New York, Elijah Cummings of
Maryland and Adam Schiff of California added: “It is
certainly not, as its sponsors claim, a principled attempt to
conduct oversight of the Department of Justice, because
House Republicans have refused to conduct oversight of
any aspect of the Trump administration, except where the
inquiry might distract from their failed agenda, undermine
law enforcement, and serve the interests of President
Trump.”
Breathing Room
With the five-week House summer recess, Rosenstein --
and Mueller -- now get some breathing room after weeks
of pressure and criticism.
And when House lawmakers return to Washington in
September -- roughly 60 days before the November
elections -- there will be little appetite among rank-and-file
Republicans for contentious votes on impeachment or
contempt of Congress, some Republicans say.
Ross, a member of the House GOP’s vote-counting team
who’s not running for re-election, said he can speak openly
about the “heartburn” some of his colleagues feel over the
assaults against Rosenstein and the Justice Department.
Mueller’s indictment this month of 12 Russian intelligence
officers on allegations of interfering in the 2016 election
has fortified contentions by Democrats and some
Republicans that Mueller and Rosenstein should be left
alone to finish their work.
‘Time Is Up’
Undaunted, conservatives have continued to argue that the
Mueller probe and Rosenstein’s non-compliance are two
separate issues. They say they are duty-bound to carry out
congressional oversight.
“For nine months we’ve warned them
consequences were coming, and for nine
months we’ve heard the same excuses
backed up by the same unacceptable
conduct,” Meadows, chairman of the
staunchly conservative Freedom Caucus,
said in a statement Wednesday night.
“Time is up and the consequences are
here. It’s time to find a new deputy attorney
general who is serious about accountability
and transparency.”
The House conservatives -- led by Meadows, Judiciary
Committee member Jordan and Nunes -- haven’t let up on
their complaints that Rosenstein and the Justice
Department have hidden documents and text messages,
engaged in abuse of federal warrants and routinely defied
congressional subpoenas.
"Another week, another no-show,"
Meadows complained at one point.
The steps they took Wednesday echoed similar
maneuvering in 2016 by some of the same lawmakers,
targeting then-IRS commissioner John Koskinen for
impeachment before that year’s seven-week House
summer break. Koskinen was spared impeachment later
that year when the House ultimately rejected the push,
sending a resolution back to committee.
43
Briefing Congress
Rosenstein told lawmakers in June that he and the Justice
Department are doing their best to provide the information
sought by Congress.
"When you find some problem with the
production or with questions, it doesn’t
mean that I’m personally trying to conceal
something from you," he said, calling the
personal attacks against him “deeply
wrong.”
Justice Department officials, briefing reporters Wednesday
on condition of anonymity, said the department has fully
complied with two subpoenas from the House Intelligence
Committee and met almost all demands in a subpoena
from the House Judiciary Committee.
The officials said the only document the department won’t
make available to lawmakers is an unredacted version of a
memorandum from Rosenstein to Mueller authorizing
specific activities once he took over the Russia
investigation.
Clinton Documents
The biggest unmet demand is providing lawmakers access
to unredacted documents related to the Clinton
investigation, which falls under the House Judiciary
subpoena, the officials said. Attorney General Jeff
Sessions put a U.S. attorney, John Lausch, in charge of
providing Congress with the documents.
Lausch has identified 880,000 pages of documents relevant
to that subpoena and is working with lawmakers to provide
access, the officials said.
The department also found -- and is now reviewing --
130,000 text messages on the phones of Peter Strzok and
Lisa Page, two FBI officials who were sharply critical of
Trump, the officials said. Most of the texts are copies of
ones that have already been reviewed or made public. Page
has since left the FBI, and Strzok has been removed from
active duty while he’s under review for possible
disciplinary action.
One top Republican, who asked not to be identified in
order to discuss meetings with Ryan and other Republican
leaders, said they haven’t shown any inclination to
formally punish Rosenstein.
The aim instead is to keep channels open with the Justice
Department, and to maintain the momentum that has led to
more document production in recent weeks, the lawmaker
said.
 Withheld Docs, Threats, And All: Jordan And Meadows
Explain Impeachment Articles Against Rosenstein
Julia Nista | General Assignment Reporter
3:26 AM 07/26/2018
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and North Carolina Rep. Mark
Meadows explained why they filed articles of
impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein in an interview Wednesday. Their reasons
included threats against House intel staffers, withholding
documents for over nine months, and ignoring the
authority of Congressional oversight.
WATCH:
“Really for nine months, we’ve asked for
documents. And that’s all we want, are the
documents. What we’ve found is not only
have subpoenas been ignored, but
information has been hidden. The efforts
have been stonewalled. I guess for us, it’s
all about transparency so the American
people can judge for themselves. So they
may be able to ignore Congress, but they
can’t ignore the American people,” said
Meadows.
Jordan said he, Rep. Meadows, and Florida Rep. Ron
Desantis have sent a letter to the president to help
Congress “declassify this information” they are seeking on
the Russia probe.
“We’ve caught the Department of Justice
hiding information, redacting information
that they should not have redacted. We
know that Rod Rosenstein threatened
House Committee Intel staffers, threatened
them, chilling impact, when they were
trying to do their job, our job of getting,
doing the Constitutional oversight we’re
supposed to do,” Jordan added.
Jordan emphasized that Rosenstein signed on the third
renewal of the salacious Trump dossier to be used in
conjunction with the Russia probe.
.
44
Fox News host Laura Ingraham later emphasized in the
interview that
“it’s been 122 years since a member of the
executive branch has been impeached. It’s
a long time.”
WATCH:
“We care about doing the right thing. It
might have been 120 years since
someone’s been impeached, but when was
the last time you ever saw the FBI take a
disproven document — with no credibility,
no validity, no corroboration — take it to a
secret court, not tell the court who paid for
it, not tell the court that the guy who wrote
had been leaking information to the press.
When have you ever — and not just once,
four stinking times,” Jordan said, “The last
one, Rod Rosenstein signed. So, if that’s
not enough to force the action as Gregg
talked about, contempt of impeachment,
you tell me what is. Tell me what is.”
“Look, we have been this patient — we
started this a year ago in July asking for
documents. We sending letters last
November,” Jordan continued.
Jordan said they had requested all the documents from the
Deparment of Justice relating to the Russia probe, but
“they have a subpoena with nine different things. They are
not in compliance with three elements of the subpoena
issued by Bob Goodlatte.”
Meadows stated,
“Here’s the thing: why do we have to dig so
deep to find out information that should
come free-flowing, if we are really
interested in justice?”
 Why Michael Cohen Is A
Triple Threat For Donald Trump
Business Deals, Affairs, Russia Ties—The President’s
Former Fixer Knows All.
David Corn
Jul. 26, 2018 7:06 AM
Seth Wenig/AP
When Michael Cohen handed over to CNN (via his lawyer
Lanny Davis) a tape he secretly recorded of Donald Trump
and him discussing a payment intended to keep a Playboy
model silent about her alleged affair with Trump, the
former Trump fixer signaled that he indeed has defected
and is willing to cooperate fully with prosecutors,
including special counsel Robert Mueller. This marks what
promises to be a decisive moment in not only the Trump-
Russia scandal but all the Trump scandals (known and
unknown), for Cohen appears to have been involved in
almost every aspect of Trump’s deeds and misdeeds. With
Cohen blowing the whistle, Mueller and other prosecutors
will end up with a symphony of leads. After all, he likely
has inside information on each of the three rings of the
Trump scandal circus: the Russia affair, the business
affairs, the affairs affair. Make a Venn diagram of all this,
and Cohen is dead center. This ex-consigliere poses a
triple threat to the godfather he once ruthlessly served.
Let’s start with Russia. Cohen intersects with the known
narrative in at least two ways. He was there when Trump
cut a deal with Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov and his
pop-star son Emin to hold the Miss Universe contest in
Moscow in 2013. When Trump gathered with the
Agalarovs in Las Vegas in June 2013 to formalize their
partnership, Cohen accompanied the celebrity businessman
and was part of a celebratory dinner at a high-end
restaurant. That is, Cohen was present at the creation of the
bond forged between Trump and this Putin-friendly
oligarch. (Also in attendance was an Agalarov associate
who had been linked to Russian money laundering.) This
45
could well be significant for investigators because it was
the Trump-Agalarov connection that led to the now
notorious Trump Tower meeting on June 9, 2016—when
Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort, then
the campaign chairman, met with a Russian emissary
whom they were told would provide them dirt on Hillary
Clinton as part of a secret Kremlin plot to help Trump.
That meeting is an important focus of the Russia
investigation, for it is an example of when the Trump
campaign eagerly attempted to collude with the Putin
regime. (“If it’s what you say I love it,” Trump Jr. said in
an email at the time.) It is also an important component of
any obstruction-of-justice probe. When the meeting
became public in July 2017, Trump Jr. released a statement
falsely claiming that the meeting merely had covered
Russian adoption policy. Trump’s involvement in the
drafting of that inaccurate statement has been a key issue.
In January, Trump’s lawyers sent a letter to Mueller noting
that Trump had dictated his son’s response. This raised the
question of whether Trump Jr. had lied to a Senate
committee when he previously said during private
congressional testimony that his father had not played a
vital role in concocting the statement. But this letter also
highlighted other potential problems for Trump: Did he lie
when he publicly said he had no prior knowledge of the
meeting, and did he direct potential witnesses in the
Mueller investigation to stick to a false cover story?
Meaning, did the president engage in obstruction of
justice?
Cohen has not yet emerged as a major player in the Trump
Tower meeting episode—an episode in which possible
collusion and possible obstruction intersect. But it is not
improbable that Cohen might know something about the
gathering and the subsequent effort by Trump and his son
to hide its true purpose.
Cohen, though, was directly involved in another key
interaction between Trump and Russia during the
campaign. From September 2015 through January 2016, he
handled secret negotiations between Trump and a Russian
company to develop a luxury Trump tower in Moscow.
The middleman for these talks was Felix Sater, a onetime
stock swindler who had done business with Trump in the
2000s and who was a boyhood pal of Cohen. The deal was
odd in that the Russian construction company had no
previous experience developing such a property. Though
the CEO of this company declared he was the sole owner
of the firm, the company, as Michael Isikoff and I reported
in Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War
on America and the Election of Donald Trump, was
actually owned by three off-shore companies, including
one controlled by a Cypriot lawyer deeply involved in
Russian finance.
While Trump was trying to pull off this project, he said
nothing in public about the venture and campaigned as an
“America First” nationalist candidate. Throughout this
stretch, Trump consistently refused to criticize Russian
leader Vladimir Putin, without telling voters that he was
pursuing a Moscow project that Sater told Cohen would be
underwritten by a bank partially owned by the Kremlin.
Given that the project would not proceed if the Russian
government said nyet, this was a stunning conflict of
interest—perhaps one of the most scandalous personal
financial conflicts of modern US political history. The deal
eventually fizzled out, but an investigator wondering if
anything was fishy about the project would want Cohen’s
testimony.
There may well be other Russian matters about which
Cohen has knowledge. (The Steele memos allege that
Cohen secretly met with Kremlin representatives during
the 2016 campaign—an allegation Cohen has denied.) But
he certainly is familiar with the details of the hush-money
deals set up for porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy
model Karen McDougal, who each claim they had an
affair with Trump. One critical question is whether these
payments were made to keep the women quiet because
their revelations could harm Trump’s electoral chances. If
so, the payments might have violated campaign laws.
Cohen can provide an answer on this front. And he can
testify as to whether these payments skirted other laws.
(The tape that Cohen provided to CNN suggests that
Trump was trying to arrange a cash payment to conceal the
arrangement with McDougal.) Cohen also presumably
would know about similar deals, if they exist. For
investigators zeroing in on the keep-quiet payoffs, Cohen
is the man.
And then there is everything else in Trump World—all of
Trump’s financial dealings. Trump’s reputation as a
businessman is not one of probity and prudence. He has
long had—and lied about—business connections to
organized crime. In 2010, the Manhattan district attorney,
Cyrus Vance Jr., opened an investigation into whether
Trump, Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump had committed fraud
.
46
related to the selling of units in Trump SoHo, a 46-story
luxury condominium-hotel. (In 2012, the probe was
dropped. Vance had received campaign donations from
Trump’s personal lawyer, but he has claimed that had no
bearing on the case.) A sketchy deal that Trump began in
2014 to develop a Trump Hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan, may
have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. (The hotel
never opened.) And many of Trump’s other projects in the
United States and abroad have sparked legal tussles. Cohen
could be expected to have much to say about any Trump
wheeling-and-dealing that may have crossed lines.
For years, Cohen’s office was near the boss’. As a friend
of Cohen points out, Cohen “worked in an environment
that was total chaos. People were constantly running in and
out of Trump’s office. The man had a 30-second attention
span. Everyone knows everything. Everyone is talking.
And there are no secrets.” In the middle of Hurricane
Donald, Cohen was as close to the mast as anyone. He may
well know of Trump actions deserving of investigation that
prosecutors for Mueller and the US attorney in New York
have never taken a gander at. If Cohen ends up a
cooperative witness, one question will be how far federal
prosecutors want to—or are willing to—dig into Trump’s
business. A whole new terrain could be wide open for
exploration.
Several years ago, a lawyer who worked for the Trump
Organization told an acquaintance of mine, “My job boils
down to doing two things. First there is this: I say, ‘Mr.
Trump, you can’t do that. You really can’t do that, Mr.
Trump.’ Then I say, ‘Mr. Trump, why did you do that?'”
Cohen was not that type of attorney. He was the handyman
who came in after one of the regular lawyers had gone
through those two steps—a Mr. Fix-it for a rule-bending
executive.
In recent weeks, Cohen has been compared by some to
John Dean, the Nixon White House lawyer who eventually
testified that Nixon was in on the Watergate cover-up and
who became a quasi-hero of that scandal. No doubt, Lanny
Davis is advising Cohen on how best to rehabilitate
himself and change his image from a sleazy pit bull who
was willing to do anything for Trump (even take a bullet!)
to a repentant henchman who now is eager to serve the
truth. But if Dean was a torpedo that sank Nixon, Cohen is
more an aircraft carrier. He probably has ammunition that
can strike multiple Trump targets. His cooperation with
prosecutors could dramatically reshape and perhaps
expand the Trump investigations. He is someone that
Trump ought to fear. There likely are bodies buried in
Trumpland, and if you want to raise the dead, Cohen is the
guy to see.

 Republicans Begin Impeachment
Proceedings Against Rosenstein
By Tyler Durden
Thu, 07/26/2018 - 07:33am
House GOP members led by Freedom Caucus Chairman
Mark Meadows (NC) have filed formal articles of
impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein, according to a late Wednesday
announcement by Meadows over Twitter.
News of the resolution comes after weeks of frustration by
Congressional investigators, who have repeatedly accused
Rosenstein and the DOJ of "slow walking" documents
related to their investigations. Lawmakers say they've been
given the runaround - while Rosenstein and the rest of the
DOJ have maintained that handing over vital documents
would compromise ongoing investigations.
Not even last week's heavily redacted release of the FBI's
FISA surveillance application on former Trump campaign
Carter Page was enough to dissuade the GOP lawmakers
from their efforts to impeach Rosenstein. In fact, its release
may have sealed Rosenstein's fate after it was revealed that
the FISA application and subsequent renewals –
49
at least one of which Rosenstein signed
off on, relied heavily on the salacious and
largely unproven Steele dossier.
In late June, Rosenstein along with FBI Director
Christopher Wray clashed with House Republicans during
a fiery hearing over an internal DOJ report criticizing the
FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation
by special agents who harbored extreme animus towards
Donald Trump while expressing support for Clinton.
Republicans on the panel grilled a defiant Rosenstein on
the Trump-Russia investigation which has yet to prove any
collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
“This country is being hurt by it. We are
being divided,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-
SC) said of Mueller’s investigation.
“Whatever you got,” Gowdy added, “Finish
it the hell up because this country is
being torn apart.”
Rosenstein pushed back - dodging responsibility for
decisions made by subordinates while claiming that
Mueller was moving "as expeditiously as possible,"
and insisting that he was "not trying to hide anything."
“We are not in contempt of this
Congress, and we are not going to be in
contempt of this Congress,” Rosenstein
told lawmakers.
Congressional GOP were not impressed.
“For over eight months, they have had
the opportunity to choose transparency.
But they’ve instead chosen to withhold
information and impede any effort of
Congress to conduct oversight,” said
Representative Mark Meadows of North
Carolina, a sponsor of Thursday’s House
resolution who raised the possibility of
impeachment this week. “If Rod
.
50
Rosenstein and the Department of
Justice have nothing to hide, they
certainly haven’t acted like it.” -New York
Times (6/28/18)
And now, Rosenstein's fate is in the hands of Congress.

 They DID It: House Republicans Introduce Articles Of
Impeachment Against Gatekeeper Rosenstein
Posted On July 26, 2018
(National Sentinel) Fed Up: For more than a year Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has been undermining
POTUS Donald Trump after having signed off on bogus
FISA court warrants allowing the FBI to spy on Trump
campaign figure Carter Page.
Rosenstein not only signed off on the third of three
warrants,
he knew they were based almost
entirely on a fake Russian “dossier” —
political research bought and paid for by the Hillary
Clinton campaign and the DNC.
If that wasn’t bad enough, it
was Rosenstein who then appointed
special counsel Robert Mueller to
53
investigate the wholly fabricated
narrative of Russian collusion and
obstruction of justice — further
hampering POTUS Trump in his ability to
run the country and conduct foreign policy.
And if those things weren’t bad enough,
Rosenstein has served as the gatekeeper
of information in regards to various House
and Senate investigations into “Spygate”
and the intentional botching of Hillary
Clinton’s gross mishandling of classified
emails.
Now, some House Republicans
have had enough.
Eleven members introduced five articles of impeachment
against Rosenstein Wednesday evening, according to Fox
News:
The impeachment articles accuse
Rosenstein of intentionally withholding
documents and information from Congress,
failure to comply with congressional
subpoenas and abuse of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

The impeachment resolution has been referred to the
House Judiciary Committee, where there is a good chance

“For nine months, we’ve asked for
documents, and that’s all we want,”
Meadows said. “Not only have subpoenas
been ignored, but information has been
hidden, efforts have been stonewalled.”
“We’ve caught the Department of Justice
hiding information, redacting information
that they should not have redacted,” Jordan
alleged, noting further that Rosenstein had
attempted to intimidate House staffers with
subpoenas.

 Obama’s Russian Ambassador McFaul
(Who Putin Wants To Interview) Is Pictured With Russian
Attorney Veselnitskaya Who Set Up Donald Trump Jr.
By Jim Hoft
July 26, 2018, 9:57 Am
What was President Obama’s former
Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul
up to?
As a result of the meeting in Helsinki between President
Trump and Russian President Putin the following was
reported –
Russian prosecutors have named the former US
ambassador in Moscow as a person of interest in an
investigation – and Michael McFaul appears to be quite
unnerved. He seems to think Russian President Vladimir
Putin is after him. The evidence seems to point to Michael
McFaul being the bag-man in Moscow for Clinton and
Obama rather than just a Government employee.
McFaul has a storied past. D. Manny wrote at Politics
Central that McFaul was one of the first individuals to
discuss the to date never verified Russian hack of the DNC
– related to his invitation in front of Congress in at a Foreign
There is a 06/14/2016 article on Politico written by Daniel
Strauss entitled, “Russian Government Hackers Broke
into DNC Servers, Stole Trump Oppo; The Hackers
had Access to the Information for Approximately One
Year.” In that article, Strauss includes a comment
attributed to Michael McFaul:
Michael McFaul, who served as U.S.
ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014,
called the hack “meddling in our personal
affairs.”
63
“I am sure they intended to do this without
being caught,” he told POLITICO. “They
wanted to obtain the information without it
being detected. That’s a kind of target that
would make sense — in terms of them
wanting to know things about what is going
on here. Whether they were doing it to try
to try to [sic] manipulate our political
process, I’d have to think about that.”
He added:
“Russia has tremendous capabilities, both
the Russian government and their proxies
and people somewhat affiliated with the
government. We always underestimate
their capabilities.”
First, such an odd choice from whom to seek a comment.
What qualifications or expertise render McFaul an
authority on matters such as Russian hacking? A search of
Michael McFaul’s history shows he served as US
ambassador to Russia two years prior to the Politco article,
and what’s more, he previously made the news because
Obama assigned McFaul to be an ambassador without
having any prior diplomatic skills, to a major country like
Russia too.
Manny goes on to state that soon after McFaul was
appointed Ambassador in Russia he was visited by a
number of Communist leaders from Russia at the US
Embassy.
Perhaps the most shocking observation of McFaul is
Affairs Committee. Pictures of the event are telling, not
necessarily because of McFaul, but rather because of the
individuals he has sitting directly behind him, Natalia
Veselnitskaya.
McFaul’s Congressional hearing occurred eight days after
now famous Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya met
with Donald Trump Jr. This meeting has resulted in
Donald Jr. being interrogated for hours by Congress over
his meeting with Veselnitskaya.
Veselnitskaya, who attended a Women’s March in
Chicago, the day after President Trump was inaugurated,
has denied any connections with the Kremlin. She is now
famous for the following –
Veselnitskaya met with Donald Jr. during the 2016
presidential election campaign after a promise to deliver
.
64
damaging opposition research that would prove Hillary
Clinton’s collusion with the Russian government.
Donald Jr. has admitted no such research was obtained and
that the meeting was essentially fruitless.
What is more shocking is that Veselnitskaya met with
Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, before and after
her meeting with Donald Jr. Fusion is the firm behind the
phony Trump-Russia dossier that was never confirmed and
very possibly all made up but nevertheless was used by
Obama’s Deep State to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on
President Trump.
Now we know why Putin wants to ask
questions of Ambassador McFaul. With
McFaul’s questionable past, no telling
what illegal or corrupt actions he has
participated in during his time with
Obama.

 Michael Cohen Could Face Trouble
With State Bar, Future Clients, Court Over Tape Leak
By Brooke Singman | Fox News
July 26, 2018

garbled conversation did not -- as some suggested -- show

Trump discussing a cash payoff. But Trump's team also
fired back by hammering Cohen for recording the
conversation without Trump’s consent. The president, on
Wednesday, tweeted:

“What kind of lawyer would tape a client?

So sad!”

Michael Cohen could face new professional and legal

challenges for leaking a secretly recorded conversation
with his former client Donald Trump -- a risky move that
could cause problems with the state bar, future clients and
even investigators.

Cohen, who served as a Trump Organization attorney for

more than a decade and has described himself as President
Trump’s “fixer,” has sought to distance himself from his
client and close friend in recent weeks—though the leak
drew the starkest line in the sand between the two.

This week, Cohen’s attorney, Clinton confidant Lanny

Davis, released to CNN the tape which had a recording of
a discussion between Trump and Cohen about potentially
buying the rights to Playboy model Karen McDougal’s
story claiming an affair with Trump.
Trusty told Fox News it is indeed “unheard of” for an

and this was part of his attempt to punch back. - and questioned whether Cohen would be able to get
future clients after this.
But the move could cause problems for Cohen beyond the
president's angry tweets, as experts raise questions of “It raises gigantic issues as to the ethics of
ethical violations. it, and as a practical matter, whether any
client is going to walk in that door after
knowing Cohen surreptitiously recorded his

Trusty told Fox News. Trusty speculated that Cohen’s decision to record Trump
could “somehow be an insurance policy” to
The president and his legal team were put on defense by
the release of the tape, as they scrambled to claim the “protect himself should he find himself in
harm’s way.”
66
 “Whether it actually serves that purpose is
a totally different question,” Trusty said.
Richard Painter, who was White House ethics counsel for
former President George W. Bush, also told Fox News
“there are two areas where Cohen has
exposure to disciplinary action by the bar.”
Painter cited New York Bar Association Rule 1.2 D, which
states that
“a lawyer shall not counsel a client to
engage or assist a client in conduct that the
lawyer knows is criminal or fraudulent.”
“The conduct in question is likely to be
illegal because of federal election law,”
Painter said, noting that a hush-money
payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in the
weeks leading up to the election and a
proposed payment to buy the rights to
McDougal’s story could be illegal, if not
filed properly under campaign finance law.
Trump's legal team says no such payment was ever made
for McDougal's story. Further, Cohen reportedly told a
CNN anchor that the Daniels payment was for Trump and
not the campaign, according to another leaked tape.
But Painter said Cohen was “leading his client [Trump]
into a potential crime” by not telling him he would be
responsible for disclosing the payment.
“Reputable lawyers aren’t going to get
involved in a situation when they’re making
payoffs to porn stars and playboys,” Painter
said. “A lawyer should say ‘you can’t do
this.’”
Painter added:
“Instead, what Cohen does is he assists it,
facilitates it, and encourages it. But then
tapes it without Trump’s consent. I don’t
67
know why a lawyer would do that unless to
have something over the client.”
Painter also said Cohen could be in violation of bar Rule
1.6, which cites the
“fundamental duty of a lawyer not to reveal
information gained during and relating to
the representation of a client without the
client’s informed consent.”
The rule also
“prohibits the lawyer from using
confidential information” to the advantage
of the lawyer or to the disadvantage of the
client.
Painter said Cohen’s leak of the conversation is
“very problematic” unless he was working
to prevent a crime.
“On both counts, he’s got some serious
problems. And he’s got other problems
too,” Painter said. “There is a reason his
office was raided.”
Earlier this year, federal investigators raided Cohen’s
personal properties as part of a criminal investigation and
grand jury probe into his personal business dealings.
Painter also noted that if Cohen pleads guilty to any felony
in that case, he would be automatically disbarred.
Trump lawyer Rudy Giualiani suggested to the
Washington Examiner that Cohen could face professional
discipline over the tapes.
“I don’t think we have to do anything about
that,” Giuliani said. “I think the bar
association will.”
The New York court system's grievance committee, which
oversees attorney conduct, declined to comment to Fox
News for this story.
Cohen’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox
News’ request for comment, but adamantly defended
Cohen earlier this week on CNN.
"This is about honesty versus false
disparagement of Michael Cohen," he told
CNN, claiming the Trump legal team fears

 SHUT IT DOWN=> Dirty Cop Mueller Now Investigating
Trump’s Tweets In Wide-Ranging Obstruction Inquiry
By Cristina Laila
July 26, 2018, 11:57 Am
SHUT IT DOWN.
Dirty cop Robert Mueller is now
investigating President Trump’s tweets
in a wide-ranging obstruction of justice
inquiry.
What the hell does this have to do with supposed collusion
between the Russians and the Trump campaign during the
2016 election?
Where is AG Sessions??
The New York Times reported:
For years, President Trump has used
Twitter as his go-to public relations
weapon, mounting a barrage of attacks on
celebrities and then political rivals even
after advisers warned he could be creating
legal problems for himself.
Those concerns now turn out to be well
founded. The special counsel, Robert S.
Mueller III, is scrutinizing tweets and
negative statements from the president
about Attorney General Jeff Sessions and
the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey,
according to three people briefed on the
matter.
Several of the remarks came as Mr. Trump was also
privately pressuring the men — both key witnesses in the
.
71
inquiry — about the investigation, and Mr. Mueller is
examining whether the actions add up to attempts to
obstruct the investigation by both intimidating witnesses
and pressuring senior law enforcement officials to tamp
down the inquiry.
Mr. Mueller wants to question the president about the
tweets. His interest in them is the latest addition to a range
of presidential actions he is investigating as a possible
obstruction case: private interactions with Mr. Comey, Mr.
Sessions and other senior administration officials about the
Russia inquiry; misleading White House statements; public
attacks; and possible pardon offers to potential witnesses.
The special counsel’s investigators have told Mr. Trump’s
lawyers they are examining the tweets under a wide-
ranging obstruction-of-justice law beefed up after the
Enron accounting scandal, according to the three people.
The investigators did not explicitly say they were
examining possible witness tampering, but the nature of
the questions they want to ask the president, and the fact
that they are scrutinizing his actions under a section of the
United States Code titled “Tampering With a Witness,
Victim, or an Informant,” raised concerns for his lawyers
about Mr. Trump’s exposure in the investigation.
The President of the United States has full authority to fire
the Director of the FBI if he wishes to do so.
President Trump is allowed to criticize James Comey if he
wishes to do so, but since King Mueller is roving around
with unchecked power, he believes the President should be
held to account for his tweets.
The only person obstructing at this point is dirty cop
Robert Mueller. Mueller is preventing the President of the
United States from carrying out his daily duties with the
ongoing harassment of his unconstitutional investigation.
Mueller is also meddling in the midterm elections with this
ongoing fraud Russia witch hunt as he is expected to drop
an October surprise report of his ‘findings.’
Giuliani dismissed Mueller’s interest in
Trump’s tweets as part of a desperate
quest to sink the president, reported the
New York Times.

Gardner cited the 2012 presidential election when

 Judge Napolitano Not Sold
On Rod Rosenstein Impeachment
Nick Givas | Media And Politics Reporter
12:46 PM 07/26/2018
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew
Napolitano said the GOP effort to impeach Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will likely fail and will
only serve as a “red badge of courage.”
Napolitano said the Department of Justice may end up
caving to congressional demands for certain documents,
but claimed the DOJ has a right to keep things secret. He
called the situation “embarrassing” and “baseless.”
“[The DOJ] are going to cough them up
because of threats like this, which are in
my opinion wrong and baseless but
embarrassing for everybody
involved,” Napolitano said on “Fox &
Friends” Thursday. “The DOJ has a
legitimate lawful basis for keeping certain
documents secret in a pending
investigation. I want this Mueller thing over
as soon as possible. But it is still pending.
And you can’t — you’d be interfering with it
if you forced the public revelation of some
of those documents.”
WATCH:
73
Napolitano cited one of the last major showdowns between
the DOJ and Congress back in 2012, when former
Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt and
said history will likely repeat itself.
“Eric Holder … six years ago, when he was
held in contempt by a Republican
Congress, he was the attorney general, for
refusing to surrender documents on Fast
and Furious, he was held in contempt,”
Napolitano said. “Nothing happened. You
could hear a pin drop. They have to take
the contempt across the street to a federal
court and prosecute the contempt. If they
don’t do that then nothing happenes.”
“Nothing ever happens,” he concluded.
“This will almost be a red badge of courage
for Rosenstein that he endured this,
defending the integrity, in his view, of the
Department of Justice.”

Weekly Standard editor-at-large Bill Kristol said the
GOP’s effort to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein is nothing more than a political stunt that
doesn’t have the votes to pass the House.
“I mean, it’s a joke,” Kristol said on
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday. “They
don’t even seem to want to vote on it …
they haven’t offered us a privileged
resolution where the speaker would have to
bring it up.”
Kristol claimed House Republicans don’t have enough
political capital or support for such a move and are coming
down on Rosenstein for purely political purposes.

“They wouldn’t get more than 30 or
40 Republican votes for it I think,” Kristol
declared. “So it’s a pure stunt to try to feed
into Trump’s narrative that the whole thing
is corrupt. The FBI’s corrupt. The Justice
Department’s corrupt. The Mueller
investigation’s tainted. So, it’s deeply
irresponsible.”
Kristol still encouraged the GOP to hold the vote so they
could weed out conservative radicals who’d vote yes on
the measure.
“It’d be good for actual Republicans to vote,
because I think you’d get a huge majority
against this,” he concluded. “It would
actually show that Republicans don’t
believe in pure demagoguery, discrediting
our institutions and so forth. But instead I
guess they’ll just let it die presumably.”

 Chairman Nunes: ‘Redacted Portions
Of Carter Page FISA Docs Even Worse Than What
The American People Can See Today’
By Cristina Laila
July 26, 2018, 2:08 Pm
House Intel Chairman Devin Nunes (R-
CA) said in an interview with The Hill,
which aired on Thursday, that what is
redacted in the Carter Page FISA docs is
even worse than what the public has
already seen.
“What’s in the redactions is equally bad,
some would probably say worse than what
the American people can see today,”
Nunes said.
“So just to be clear, there’s 400, roughly 75
percent of them are blacked out,” he
continued. “So people learned over the
weekend that the dossier indeed was what
led this FISA, so they used that dossier and
pieces of that dossier to push that FISA out
to Carter Page.”
“I would argue that what’s left in there is
really bad, if not worse, but also what’s not
in there is even worse than what people
can see, what people can’t see.”
.
77
On Saturday, Judicial Watch President
Tom Fitton announced documents
related to the FISA warrants on Trump’s
former campaign advisor, Carter Page
were released by the FBI — and arrived
at JW headquarters.
As expected, the documents were heavily redacted.
Obama’s Deep State DOJ and FBI withheld information
about Hillary Clinton and the DNC being behind the
information used to obtain the FISA warrant.
Obama’s corrupt cronies obtained a FISA warrant on
Carter Page in October of 2016 and three subsequent
renewals in order to spy on Trump’s campaign and
transition team.
Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe and Sally Yates all signed
the FISA applications even though Hillary’s fraudulent
Russia dossier was used as a pretext to obtain the warrants.
The newly released docs also reveal Peter Strzok did
indeed provide information which was used to obtain a
FISA warrant on Carter Page, directly contradicting his
previous sworn claims to GOP lawmakers.
We also learned the FBI used anti-Trump media reports
from liberal news sites in order to obtain the Carter Page
FISA warrants.
The House Intel Committee recently called on President
Trump to declassify all Carter Page FISA documents so
the American people can see the whole truth.
 NYT: Reality Equals CNN? '
Spotting CNN On His TV... Trump
Rages Against Reality'
By Clay Waters
July 26, 2018 2:14 PM EDT
New York Times reporters Katie Rogers and Maggie
Haberman were offended that President Trump doesn’t
like to watch CNN, using a leaked anecdote from Air
Force One for a full-page story Wednesday:
“A Bit of a Stir’ Aboard Air Force One: A TV
Tuned to CNN.”
The headline writers went overboard. The text box:
“A president who rages against reality
wants to keep the remote control for
himself.” The online headline: “Spotting
CNN on a TV Aboard Air Force One,
Trump Rages Against Reality.” So in
Timesland, “reality” equals CNN?
On the first couple’s recent trip overseas, Melania Trump’s
television aboard Air Force One was tuned to CNN.
President Trump was not pleased.
He raged at his staff for violating a rule that the White
House entourage should begin each trip tuned to Fox -- his
preferred network over what he considers the “fake news”
CNN -- and caused “a bit of a stir” aboard Air Force One,
according to an email obtained by The New York Times.
The email, an internal exchange between officials in the
White House Military Office and the White House
Communications Agency last Thursday, also called for the
ordering of two additional televisions to support Beam, a
TiVo-like streaming device, to make sure the president and
first lady could both watch TV in their separate hotel
rooms when they travel.
78
At the end of the email chain, officials confirmed that
tuning the TVs to Fox would be standard operating
procedure going forward.
The channel-flipping flap was the latest example of how
Mr. Trump, at a pivotal moment in his presidency, is
increasingly living in a world of selected information and
bending the truth to his own narrative. As his aides work to
keep him insulated from the outside world, Mr. Trump is
doubling down in his efforts to tell supporters to trust him
over the words of critics and news reports.
....
On Tuesday, the president effectively said black was white
when he claimed without evidence that Russians would be
helping Democrats -- but not him -- in the coming midterm
elections. In January 2017, American intelligence agencies
assessed that Russia had interfered in the 2016 presidential
election in an effort to help Mr. Trump.
....
Over the weekend,
Mr. Trump claimed with no evidence in a
series of tweets that his
administration’s release of top-secret
documents related to the surveillance of
a former campaign aide had confirmed
that the Justice Department and the
F.B.I. “misled the courts” in the early
stages of the Russia investigation.
But the documents appeared to do the
opposite.
They presented in stark detail why the F.B.I. was
interested in the former campaign adviser, Carter Page:
“The F.B.I. believes Page has been the
subject of targeted recruitment by the
Russian government.” The documents also
said Mr. Page had “established
relationships with Russian government
officials, including Russian intelligence
 officers,” and had been “collaborating and
conspiring with the Russian government."
Mollie Hemingway, who has followed the Russia
investigation from the outset, has a more skeptical view of
the FBI’s behavior at The Federalist, as does Byron York
at the Washington Examiner. Ironic that one has to consult
the right-leaning media for any criticism of domestic
surveillance organizations.
The story ended with an odd criticism of a politician:
.
79
In the White House, little of the outside
criticism breaks through. People who have
worked for Mr. Trump say he tends to view
everything through the lens of a battle.
His goal is bring everyone over to his
view.
As opposed to trying to bring everyone to his opponent’s
view?

say, stupid thing that I’ve heard in a long

Democrats are trying to impeach,”
Dershowitz argued. “And now, you have
the Republicans making the case for the

president by offering bills of impeachment
against Rod Rosenstein that don’t charge
crimes.”
“Impeachment is supposed to be there for
serious crimes. Treason, bribery, other high
crimes and misdemeanors. If you don’t like
the way Rod Rosenstein is responding to
your subpoena, charge him with contempt
of court,” he continued. “Bring him to court,
but do not use impeachment. That just
helps the Democrats who are trying to
impeach President Trump.”
“[Democrats] are going to say, ‘look, the
Republicans agree.’ It really will backfire,”
he concluded.

 The Mueller Scam
And Suicide Of Social Media
Derek Hunter | Contributor
3:32 PM 07/26/2018
On today’s show, we talk reports that the Mueller
investigation is nothing more than an investigation in
search of a crime rather than an investigation looking into
an alleged crime.
The special counsel is allegedly looking into the National
Enquirer to see if it may have violated any laws by buying
stories from women who claimed to have had affairs with
Donald Trump more than a decade ago and not printing
them.
Not running a story, even if you paid for it, is not a crime.
But Mueller is reportedly looking to see if anything,
.
81
without any specific allegations, violated any laws. It’s
very Kafkaesque.
Social media platforms are committing suicide by caving
to the liberal mob. Twitter is shadow banning people
deemed not liberal, and Facebook is facing pressure to de-
platform sites like InfoWars and Fox News. Whatever you
think of InfoWars, if people want to read their content and
subscribe to it on a social media platform, they should be
allowed to do so. And Fox is under fire simply because
they refuse to toe the liberal line, as liberals are pushing
Facebook to ban them.
But if these platforms change from a conduit where anyone
can post what they want and follow what they want to a
site that decides what is and is not acceptable to be posted,
they switch from a platform to a publisher. Once they start
making editorial decisions about what their users can post
and see not only will they lose users, they open themselves
up to potential libel lawsuits. If they determine what can be
published, they become responsible for what is published.
Things will slip past censors that defame people, revenge
porn will go live, and they will be sued. There won’t be
much of a defense. We explain in the show.
And, in the age of reboot TV, an actual classic show might
be returning as the star is shopping the idea around. Which
show and who? Listen to the show to find out.
 Chairman Nunes: House Intel Panel
Investigating Whether ‘Informants’ Gathered Info On
Trump, Russia Prior To Authorization
By Cristina Laila
July 26, 2018, 3:51 Pm
Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said
in an interview with The Hill that the
House Intel Panel is investigating
whether spies informants gathered
information on Trump and Russia
before they were authorized to do so in
July of 2016.
“It’s one of the outstanding questions that
we have for the Deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein. We’ve had that question
out to them for pretty much three months
now. They have not answered it yet,”
Nunes told The Hill’s Buck Sexton.
“Is it your belief it is likely that there was
activity going on in advance of the start of
that official FBI investigation?” Sexton
asked.
“I will just tell you we wouldn’t be asking
those questions if we didn’t think we had
some suspicion of that,” Nunes
responded. “The problem with this is,
running informants into political campaigns,
or political campaign actors on the
.
82
counterintelligence side especially, is a
major problem.”
“It’s because we give special powers to our
counterintelligence officials because really
a lot of Americans’ basic rights are taken
away through that process because it’s
dealing with national security, it’s usually
high level,” he continued.
“So there should be a very high bar before
you open up a counterintelligence
investigation. So, if you are running
informants into campaigns before or after
you open an official investigation, most
Americans, when you sit them down and
talk to them, they know that that’s
something really bad and that only
happens in third world countries,” he said.
Chairman Nunes also told Buck Sexton in the same
interview that the redacted portions of the Carter Page
FISA docs are worse than what Americans have already
seen.
Obama’s FBI and DOJ were incredibly corrupt, of course
they were using informants to spy on Trump’s camp before
the July 2016 launch of the probe.
So far we know Stefan Halper was paid a total of $411,575
in 2016 and 2017 for work with the US government that
included spying on the Trump campaign.
According to Trump’s former aide, Michael Caputo, there
was more than one informant spying on Trump’s camp.
Text messages from Peter Strzok going back to 2015 have
people speculating the FBI may have initiated multiple
spies in the Trump campaign going back to December of
2015.
Pelosi Suggests Jordan Only Wants To Impeach Rosenstein
To Deflect From Alleged Ohio State Scandal
Julia Cohen | Reporter
4:43 PM 07/26/2018
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi suggested Thursday
that Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan only wants to
impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein “to take
attention away from the scrutiny he is under in Ohio.”
“Well I don’t know, but what I’ve heard is
that Jim Jordan just wants to take attention
away from the scrutiny that he is under in
Ohio, that could be part of it,” Pelosi said in
a Thursday press conference when asked
about the motivation for Jordan’s articles of
impeachment against Rosenstein.
House Minority Leader Pelosi on the motivation behind
GOP efforts to impeach deputy AG Rod Rosenstein:

“The fact that truth and fact and data and
evidence have never been something that
the Republicans have sought or based their
decision making on,” Pelosi said. “They
would want to hurt Rosenstein so that they
could hurt the Mueller investigation, but
hopefully saner minds will prevail on the
Republican side … we welcome their
voting on undermining their democracy.”
83
Jordan filed a resolution to impeach Rosenstein with North
Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows on Wednesday
night, The Daily Caller reported.
“We can’t get answers for the American
people if we can’t get information from the
DOJ. It’s time to impeach Rod Rosenstein,”
Jordan tweeted Wednesday.

26, 2018
Jordan has been a critic of Rosenstein far before former
Ohio State wrestlers accused him in early July of allegedly
turning a blind eye to sexual abuse when he was a
wrestling coach at the university.
“Rod Rosenstein threatened congressional
staff. When the bully picks on your little
brother, you have to respond. It’s time for
House Leadership to stand up,” Jordan
tweeted in June.
Rosenstein came under scrutiny from Jordan and other
Republican officials for refusing to hand over documents
related to the FBI’s email investigation of former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton and probes into President Donald
Trump’s campaign and its possible ties to Russia.
“I’ve been extremely disappointed,” Jordan
told TheDC in April. “My concern is that Jeff
Sessions and Rod Rosenstein aren’t willing
to do what everyone knows needs to be
done.”
The two former Ohio State wrestlers leading the charge
accusing Jordan of ignoring sexual abuse of athletes have
dubious pasts, The Daily Caller News Foundation
reported.
 “Two former Ohio State University
wrestlers accusing Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan of
ignoring sexual misconduct by a university
physician more than two decades ago have
a history of failed business dealings,
lawsuits, harassment allegations, and in
the case of one accuser, an 18 month
prison sentence for fraud,” TheDCNF
report stated.
Multiple coaches who worked with Jordan have also
countered the former athletes’ claims, TheDCNF reported.
84
“What has been said about Jim Jordan is
absolutely wrong,” a joint statement from
former Ohio State coaches reads. “If we
had heard of any abuse, we would have
spoken up.”
House Speaker Paul Ryan said that he opposes impeaching
Rosenstein on Thursday morning, making it unlikely the
impeachment resolution will go through.
 Pathetic: Liberal Senator Claire Mccaskill And Hack
Reporters At The Daily Beast Are Already Blaming
Russian Hackers For Her Impending Loss
By Jim Hoft
July 26, 2018, 5:19 Pm
Earlier this week the Kansas City Star
(NOT a conservative paper) reported
that businesses tied to Senator Claire
McCaskill’s family received $131
MILLION in federal dollars while she has
been US senator.
In June Claire McCaskill was caught
ditching her bus tour across the state
and taking her private plane to many of
the stops.
The woman ALWAYS votes with
Schumer, Maxine Waters and Pelosi and
NEVER for Missouri families.
McCaskill is in deep trouble in Missouri.
Evidently the polls are worse than we thought.
McCaskill and liberal hacks are already blaming Russian
hackers for her impending loss.
.
85
The Daily Beast is pushing this crap.
The Russian intelligence agency behind the 2016 election
cyberattacks targeted Sen. Claire McCaskill as she began
her 2018 re-election campaign in earnest, a Daily Beast
forensic analysis reveals. That makes the Missouri
Democrat the first identified target of the Kremlin’s 2018
election interference.
McCaskill, who has been highly critical of Russia over the
years, is widely considered to be among the most
vulnerable Senate Democrats facing re-election this year as
Republicans hope to hold their slim majority in the Senate.
In 2016, President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton
by almost 20 points in the senator’s home state of
Missouri.
There’s no evidence to suggest that this particular attack
was successful. Asked about the hack attempt by Russia’s
GRU intelligence agency, McCaskill told The Daily Beast
on Thursday that she wasn’t yet prepared to discuss it.
“I’m not going to speak of it right now,” she
said. “I think we’ll have something on it next
week. I’m not going to speak about it right
now. I can’t confirm or do anything about it
right now.”
Good grief. What a liar.
She is more desperate and pathetic than
we imagined.

“What’s very odd is that we’re living in

 CNN, MSNBC, ABC Assail Donald Trump As A 'Dictator'
By Ryan Foley
July 26, 2018 8:46 PM EDT
If there’s one thing the media doesn’t seem to specialize
in, it’s originality. They all read from the same script. On
five different programs broadcast Monday and Tuesday on
three different networks, the media went off the rails;
repeatedly calling President Trump a dictator and in some
cases comparing him to Turkish Dictator Recep Tayyip
Erdogan. At least they didn’t compare him in those cases
to Hitler.
The latest montage of meltdowns comes in the wake of
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders’
announcement that the President was looking into revoking
the security clearances of former Obama administration
officials. All of the hysteria came despite the fact that
President Trump has not officially revoked security
clearances yet and only threatened to do so.
It included Monday’s edition of MSNBC’s Deadline:
White House, which aired shortly after Sanders made the
announcement at Monday’s White House press briefing.
Former Holder Department of Justice spokesman Matt
Miller weighed in on the announcement:
If you look at what happened last week in
that meeting, you don't have to go, you
don't have to look very hard to see a direct
parallel to what the President is trying to do
now. Look at what Vladimir Putin proposed
in that meeting. He proposed using the
arms of government to retaliate against
critics of him; to retaliate against Bill
Browder and Mike McFaul. The kind of
thing you expect to see from Vladimir Putin.
The kind of thing you see from Erdogan in
Turkey. The kind of thing you never expect
to see in liberal democracies. That’s what
the President is trying to do here.
89
On the Monday night edition of CNN’s Erin Burnett
OutFront, the eponymous host parroted out another
dictator comparison:
“So this idea of punishing your enemies or
those critical of you, well, here’s the thing:
it’s straight from the playbook of those the
President admires, including strongmen
like the Turkish President Erdogan.”
Hours later on CNN Tonight With Don Lemon, host Don
Lemon reiterated the same talking points:
“So here’s what he’s doing or wants to do.
Silencing critics. That’s right. Even an
effort, though, to distract everyone is worth
reporting because it’s what dictators and
want-to-be strong men do. They try to
silence critics.”
Moving to Tuesday morning and ABC’s The View, co-host
Whoopi Goldberg weighed in:
“I’m not comfortable with vindictiveness
because to me that’s very dictator.” Co-
host Joy Behar, who suffers from an even
more severe case of Trump Derangement
Syndrome, told Goldberg “that’s his middle
name,” referring to the word “dictator.”
On Tuesday’s Inside Politics, CNN host John King said
that President Trump’s
“threat sounds more like he leads Turkey or
the Philippines, not like he leads the United
States of America.”
The behavior of the news media makes them sound more
like they work as Democratic operatives, not like objective
journalists.
The media covered the President’s threat to revoke the
security clearances of the former intelligence officials as if
it meant the end of American democracy, if not “the end of
the world as we know it,” to paraphrase NPR’s Nina
Totenberg. For all of the talk about how President Trump
seeks to invoke fear in the American people, the media
seems to have that turf covered quite well.
 Bernie Sanders’ Advisor Named In Tranche Of Mueller
Evidence Against Manafort Will Not Be
Charged By Special Counsel
By Cristina Laila
July 26, 2018, 9:01 Pm
Last week, Special Counsel Robert
Mueller filed 500 new pieces of evidence
against Trump’s former campaign chair,
Paul Manafort.
Bernie Sanders’ Chief Strategist, Tad Devine’s name
appeared 21 times in the trove of new evidence released by
Mueller.
Tad Devine previously worked with Paul Manafort in
Ukraine, but Mueller has already determined that Devine
has done nothing wrong.
In fact, Tad Devine has been tapped by the Special
Counsel to assist Mueller in his case against Manafort.
Many speculated Devine was in trouble because heck he
worked with Manafort in Ukraine and his other associate,
Rick Gates was also hunted down by Mueller.
90
BuzzFeed reported:
Tad Devine, a political operative who
served at the highest levels of the Bernie
Sanders campaign, will assist in the special
counsel office’s prosecution of Paul
Manafort, Donald Trump’s former
campaign chairman, according to a
statement released on Thursday.
“The Special Counsel has asked Tad
Devine to assist in the prosecution of their
case against Paul Manafort regarding his
firm’s work on media consulting on past
political campaigns in Ukraine,” reads a
statement provided by Julian Mulvey, a
partner at Devine’s political firm, Devine
Mulvey Longabaugh.
“When the Special Counsel sought
assistance from us in its ongoing
investigation, we readily provided it.”
The firm, according to the statement,
has been “assured by the special
counsel’s office that we have no legal
exposure and did not act unlawfully.”
Paul Manafort, his former business partner Rick Gates and
Tad Devine all worked on behalf of Viktor Yanukovych of
Ukraine yet only two of them are being charged by the
Special Counsel.
Manafort is currently rotting in solitary confinement and
Rick Gates pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with
Mueller.
Strange how Mueller has already determined Democrat
Tad Devine, also a former senior advisor to Al Gore’s
2000 presidential campaign and John Kerry’s 2004
presidential bid, did not act unlawfully.
In contrast, Mueller has been hunting down President
Trump for over a year now looking for a crime in a Stalin-
like ‘show me the man and I’ll find the crime’ witch hunt.
 Matthews Pushes Trump Guilt
As If It’s A Fact; Wonders If Tweets Will Lead
To Removal From Office
By Curtis Houck
July 26, 2018 9:53 PM EDT
Well, folks, it looks like MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris
Matthews is going to need another panic button after
Thursday’s show. All show, Matthews touted as if it were
fact that President Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice
in the Mueller probe and that, based on his tweets and the
Comey firing, he could be removed form office.
“Obstruction in plain sight....Could
Donald Trump's tweeting cost him his
presidency? Could Robert Mueller find
that Trump’s relentless threatening and
bullying of possible witnesses
constitute obstruction of justice? Does
the fact that Trump does so so
outrageously in broad daylight
constitute any defense? Is this all
Trump's lawyer has to defend him? That
he obstructs in plain sight,” Matthews
screeched at the top of the program.
Matthews illustrated his newfound glee had to do with
a New York Times piece which he explained as having
revealed that
“Robert Mueller’s team is investigating
numerous incidents that occurred
privately” but also “actions that the
president has taken in plain sight that
could bolster a potential obstruction
case” such as his daily tweet storms.
Speaking to Peter Baker from the aforementioned paper,
Matthews hailed the new reporting as
91
“fascinating because it points out that
just cause you do something in public
doesn't make it’s legal or make you
innocent” and cited killing someone in
public as still being murder.
Later during the Hardball Roundtable, The Washington
Post’s Ruth Marcus told Matthews that she’s
“excited to tell you about obstruction of
justice” as even though “[i]t would be
probably unprecedented for a
prosecutor to make” an “obstruction
case based solely on Twitter.” But let’s
speculate anyway that Mueller probably
has the case based on “tweets plus...the
other things.”
Closing out the show with an extra long, two-minute-and-
48-second “Trump Watch” commentary, Matthews
rehashed many of these same points and ruled that it looks
like Trump’s carried out “a pattern of obstruction” and
thus
“[i]t makes clear sense that Robert

MATTHEWS: Trump watch Thursday July 26, 2018. Special
Counsel Robert Mueller is reported to be investigating the
President's tweets now as part of an effort to obstruct justice.
President Trump’s Rudolph Giuliani retorts the tweets cannot be
part of an obstruction of justice case because they are public
acts.“If you're going to obstruct justice, you do it quietly and
secretly, not in public.” Really? We all and that includes Rudy,
know the President Trump is quite willing to carry out often what
others try to hide in broad daylight. It is, to use a crime-fighting
term, his M.O., his known method of operation. What others dare
not, he dares not only to do, but to broadcast. Making a racket is
part of Trump’s weaponry. It’s his way of striking fear in rivals and
underlings alike. It makes clear sense that Robert Mueller’s team
is looking at Trump’s tweets, his almost daily fuselage of
misleading statements, public attacks, possible pardon offers to
potential witnesses. Talk about a pattern of obstruction. It’s all
part of a broad effort from the beginning to interfere with
investigation. There was his intimidation of FBI Director James
Comey, Trump’s pushing Comey to profess his personal loyalty
to him, pushing Comey to let his national security director,
Michael Flynn, off the hook, then his demand that Comey
announce publicly that he, Donald Trump, was not under
investigation, and finally, his firing of Comey for not playing ball.

intimidation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions? His haranguing of
him to get Sessions to end his recusal of himself in the Mueller
probe, his demand that Sessions take charge of the probe
personally so he, presumably, can do Trump's bidding or get
fired himself. As The Times reports today, such behavior can fit
under the U.S. Criminal Code, which outlaws tampering with a
witness, victim or informant.” In other words, obstruction of
justice. Rudy Giuliani's defense that all of this is innocent
because it was done in public is nothing more than a confession
on his part that this fits this President’s outrageous method of
operation generally. This is how he runs his presidency.
Whenever somebody tries to limit his power, he throws him out of
the way. He fired his first chief of staff for this reason. Now, he
threatens to fire his new one. He’s fired Secretary of State
Tillerson and his second national security director, McMaster as if
he were changing ties. He negotiated with Russian boss Putin as
if he were an autocrat, just like Putin. Claiming that his client is
innocent because accused behavior fits this M.O. is a joke. It’s no
wonder that Giuliani says the President refuses to be questioned
by the Special Counsel about obstruction of justice. It’s the one
area where his actions are so well-known they require little
detective work. Tweeting may be Trump's impulsive choice of
weapon. That doesn't exempt him from the law.

Earlier this week, Paul tweeted that he would ask President

The Kentucky Senator claimed that Brennan,

then Obama’s top White House adviser on counter-
terrorism, gave classified information to a group of former
Obama advisers turned TV commentators about a Yemen
terror plot that Washington had “inside control” of through
a double-agent.

 Cohen Claim That POTUS Knew Of Infamous Trump
Tower Meeting With Russian SLAMMED
By The Prez: ‘NO!’
Posted On July 27, 2018
(National Sentinel) Taxi Cabs, Mike? For months last
year, the disgusting dishonest establishment media and
Left-wing conspiracy theorists in the Democratic Party
claimed there was something nefarious about a meeting
Donald Trump Jr., held with a Russian lawyer Natalia
Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in NYC during the 2016
campaign.
News of the June 9, 2016, meeting was
leaked to the press claiming that Don Jr.
met Veselnitskaya because she said she
had ‘dirt’ on then-Democratic presidential
rival Hillary Clinton.
Don Jr. said, of course, his father’s campaign would be
interested in anything they could get on Hillary, no matter
where it came from.
But that’s not what Veselnitskaya wanted the meeting for.
She was there to lobby against the Magnitsky Act.
When it became apparent that was her only objective,
Don Jr. ended the meeting about 20
minutes in — which is what he has said
publicly.
All of this has been verified via transcripts
of testimony Don. Jr. gave to the Senate.
But wait — did Don Jr. tell his father about
the meeting?
That’s always nagged at Leftist
conspiracy theorists because if then-
GOP candidate Donald Trump knew in
advance, that’s collusion!
The renewed allegations come amid a
report that former Trump lawyer Michael
Cohen is insisting that yes, POTUS knew
about the meeting.
Per CNN (whom we’re supposed to believe despite the
network’s unhinged fake news coverage of POTUS):
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s
former personal attorney, claims that then-
99
candidate Trump knew in advance about
the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in
which Russians were expected to offer his
campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources
with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing
to make that assertion to special counsel
Robert Mueller, the sources said.
Cohen’s claim would contradict repeated
denials by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., their
lawyers and other administration officials
who have said that the President knew
nothing about the Trump Tower meeting
until he was approached about it by The
New York Times in July 2017.
Cohen alleges that he was present, along
with several others, when Trump was
informed of the Russians’ offer by Trump
Jr. By Cohen’s account, Trump approved
going ahead with the meeting with the
Russians, according to sources.
To be clear, these sources said Cohen
does not have evidence, such as audio
recordings, to corroborate his claim, but
he is willing to attest to his account.
Wouldn’t this have been a question asked — under
oath — by congressional investigators?
Why, yes, it was. Don Jr.’s response — under oath?
The Washington Post reported: “By
consensus, the meeting did not go well.
Trump Jr. said it was such a waste of
time that he never bothered to inform
his father.”
POTUS Trump on Friday made it perfectly clear in a
series of tweets that not only was he never informed of the
meeting, but he suggested that Cohen is grasping at any
straw he can in order to get out of another jam having to
do with NYC Taxicab medallions.
“Arrived back in Washington last night from
a very emotional reopening of a major U.S.
Steel plant in Granite City, Illinois, only to
be greeted with the ridiculous news that the
highly conflicted Robert Mueller and his
gang of 13 Angry Democrats obviously
cannot find Collusion…”
“….,the only Collusion with Russia was with
the Democrats, so now they are looking at
my Tweets (along with 53 million other
people) – the rigged Witch Hunt continues!
How stupid and unfair to our
Country….And so the Fake News doesn’t
waste my time with dumb questions,
NO,….”
.
Said by Gregg Jarrett
100
“….I did NOT know of the meeting with my
son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is
trying to make up stories in order to get
himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs
maybe?). He even retained Bill and
Crooked Hillary’s lawyer. Gee, I wonder if
they helped him make the choice!”
That denial isn’t under oath, but given that Mueller’s
witch hunt has now extended to examining all of the
president’s tweets, it’s about as close as it gets.
Cohen is pathetic. But so is CNN and the rest of the loser
establishment media for believing him and continuing to
harass and distract the president.

 Cohen Claims Trumps Knew About Russia
Meeting … But Tweets, Testimony Say Something Else
"Open, Honest And Transparent," Is How Former Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen
Described The Trumps, Following Revelations About The Trump Tower
Meeting With A Russian Lawyer.
By NTK Staff
07.27.2018 @9:17am

Sources alleged to CNN on Thursday that former Trump

lawyer Michael Cohen is willing to testify that President
Trump knew in advance of a June 2016 Trump Tower
meeting between a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer and
Donald Trump, Jr. The reported purpose of the meeting
was to access Russian dirt on Clinton.

“Cohen alleges that he was present, along

with several others, when Trump was
informed of the Russians’ offer by Trump
Jr,” CNN wrote. “By Cohen’s account,
Trump approved going ahead with the Trump claims that he had not heard of the meeting until

But the lawyer struck a completely different tone when he

praised Trump, Jr. for releasing documents surrounding the
meeting in July 2017. “Open, honest, and transparent,” is
how he described Trump, Jr.’s account of the meeting.

And, as CNN points out, Cohen testified to congressional

intelligence committees, and during his testimony, he
offered no indication that Trump knew of the meeting
beforehand.

 CNBC, Bloomberg See 4.1 Percent GDP
As ‘Win For Trump’
By Julia A. Seymour
July 27, 2018 11:57 AM EDT
CNBC’s Squawk on the Street and Bloomberg.com viewed
the latest U.S. GDP report as good news for the Trump
administration.
The 4.1 percent second-quarter GDP estimate announced
July 27, was the best quarterly pace in almost four years.
Bloomberg.com called it a “Win for Trump” that same
day.
Squawk on the Street co-anchor Sara Eisen said,
“Though, look, he is right to take a victory
lap here because there are places in this
GDP report he can point to show that his
policy is working.”
“Fiscal stimulus, corporate tax cuts,
individual tax cuts, the consumer spending
.
105
component. This is a consumer economy
growing 4 percent, that was better than
expected and that marks a significant pick
up,” Eisen added.
Bloomberg reported that the rate was “just shy of the 4.2
median forecast in a Bloomberg survey,” and let Trump
“claim a win for his policies even though expansion is
projected to cool.”
President Donald Trump reacted to the report proudly,
saying the economy is on track to reach his target of more
than 3 percent annual growth.
However, that remained a question for CNBC.
“The question is, does it raise the annual
GDP forecast above 3 percent? We know
that was the president’s goal. You know,
post-financial crisis this recovery has been
averaging about 2.2 percent annual growth.
That’s why it’s been called the ‘slow-
growth,’ ‘disappointing’ recovery ...” said
Eisen. “Can Trump’s fiscal stimulus put us
above that point on an annual basis?
That’s why the second half is gonna be so
key.”

Of Lying About Russian Meeting

Trump tweeted. “He even retained Bill and
Crooked Hillary’s lawyer. Gee, I wonder if

President Donald Trump accused his former personal

lawyer Michael Cohen of lying about the president
allegedly having advanced knowledge of a meeting
between his son and a Russian lawyer offering damaging
information on Hillary Clinton.
Cohen is reportedly willing to testify to that effect to
special counsel Robert Mueller, CNN reported late
Thursday night. Trump seized upon the report with a
forceful denial accusing Cohen of making up stories in
order to extract himself from his own possible financial
crimes.
Trump has long maintained he had no advanced
knowledge of the meeting between his son and the Russian
lawyer which occurred at Trump Tower in New York City
in June 2016. The meeting was set up by a former
associate of Donald Trump Jr. with the purpose of
obtaining damaging information on then presidential
opponent Hillary Clinton.

 Here’s Why Cohen’s ‘Bombshell’ Claim About POTUS
Knowledge Of Trump Tower Russian Meeting…ISN’T
Posted On July 27, 2018
(National Sentinel) Ho-Hum: On Friday CNN, MSNBC,
and every other far-Left establishment media outlet ran
with a “bombshell” report that former lawyer for POTUS
Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, says the president was
aware of a meeting that took place in June 2016 at Trump
Tower in NYC between Donald Jr. and Russian
lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.
Oh, this is it! Finally! ‘We’ve got
COLLUSION!’
That’s the narrative anyway. Never mind that Don Jr. has
said, under oath to congressional investigators, that no, his
GOP-nominee father was not aware of the meeting ahead
of time or afterward because, as The Washington Post
reported,
Trump Jr. said it was such a waste of
time that he never bothered to inform
his father.”
And nevermind that POTUS himself has now vigorously
— and publicly — denied that he was ever aware of any
meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower.
111
That denial isn’t under oath, but given that Mueller’s
witch hunt has now extended to examining all of the
president’s tweets, it’s about as close as it gets.
But let’s step away from the hype and the BS that the lib
networks are spewing right now.
Let’s recall one vitally important
detail that the libtard media desperados are
forgetting.
Cohen’s “bombshell” isn’t a big
breakthrough in special counsel Robert
Mueller’s case because he handed off
Cohen’s case to the Southern District of
New York.
He’s not even investigating Cohen’s
case; a federal court district is.
Mueller’s known about Cohen for months. He probably
knows more about Cohen than Cohen himself does.
If he had a way to ‘get’ President Trump through
Cohen, he never would have handed the case off to
someone else.
He would have kept that baby all to himself.
Now, can Mueller retake the Cohen case? Sure — but he’s
not going to because there’s no way to the
president through Cohen.
It’s more smoke-and-mirrors as Cohen squirms and
weasels his way to a better deal in his own case. He’s
trying to offer up ‘juice’ on POTUS Trump to effect one.
At this point, it’s also important to remind readers that
what Mueller’s investigation really is about and has been
since the beginning (since there never was any “Russian
collusion” or nefarious, illegal conduct with Moscow):
Impeachment.
Mueller is trying to build an impeachment case because
he’s got nothing else. And this day’s antics will be just
another chapter in that report.
Finally, Cohen doesn’t have any
evidence to support his allegation.
Even CNN — in between breathless
coverage — has had to admit that.
Byron York, writing at the Washington Examiner, noted as
well that Mueller has handed off other cases, such as the
recent indictment of 12 Russians — whom he handed off
to the Justice Department’s national security division
(where cases go to die):
What is going on? I asked a few former
federal prosecutors if they saw any
.
112
messages in Mueller’s move. The
takeaway: These aren’t encouraging
developments for those longing for a big
collusion/conspiracy/coordination
indictment from Mueller.
“I think it proves that little if any of what
Mueller’s team has generated so far is
linked to the special counsel’s mandate,”
said Former Prosecutor 1. “Everything that
is public so far could, should and typically
is handled by either United States Attorney
offices of jurisdiction; National Security
Division attorneys, or even Criminal
Division attorneys at Main Justice.”
“I think Mueller doesn’t have anything on
collusion,” said Former Prosecutor 2. “I
think we would have seen it. I don’t see
anything that looks like there’s a crime
lurking — maybe he’s got eight indictments
under seal, but to me, it makes no sense.
All of this says to me there is no there
there.”

President Trump:
When we make good trade deals it’s going
to have a huge impact on GDP
growth. And the numbers will be so big
that you’ll actually start paying down debt in
very large chunks. It will go quickly.
President Trump is right. The debt under Obama increased
at an astronomical rate through this period in his
administration. Obama increased the debt by $2.6 trillion
and 25%.
Debt under President Trump has increased but by only 7%
and $1.3 trillion.
Trump’s debt increase is half of
Obama’s and he is busy paying off
massive interest payments Obama built
through his massive tax increases.
What President Trump is doing is really
miraculous.

writer Michael Isikoff as that support. The problem with

doing this is that the FBI never shared that the support for
Isikoff’s article was the dossier.

What is also telling about the FISA warrant is not just that
the dossier was never verified but that the FBI said that it
was.

The FISA memo used by the FBI to

obtain a warrant to spy on President
Trump was released last week.
Although heavily redacted, the biggest
lie in the FISA application is what was
not shared.

We now know that the Steele Dosier was materially the

sole support for the FISA application the FBI used to spy
on President Trump.

The document was based on the work of an individual in

the UK who supposedly interviewed Russians and who
was paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign. We really have
no idea who Steele purportedly interviewed to obtain
[create] the salacious dossier, nor does the FBI. There
have been no interviews of Russians who supposedly
provided the salacious information in the dossier.

Senator Grassley also questioned the support for the Steele

dossier and noted this in his Senate report –

dossier so they provided an article from former Newsweek

 Report: FBI Has ‘Ongoing’ Relationship With Left-Wing
SPLC, Which Once Put Ben Carson On An
‘Extremist Watch List’
Peter Hasson | Reporter
12:38 PM 07/28/2018

“Disturbingly though, the relationship is

ongoing, if you can believe it.”

“Despite multiple requests from this program, the FBI has

refused to describe the extent of its collaboration with the
SPLC, we’ve asked repeatedly, or even to explain why it
continues to work with a group like that,” Carlson said,
noting the agency would only offer bland statements.

WATCH:
 The FBI has an ongoing relationship with the left-wing
Southern Poverty Law Center, Fox News host Tucker
Carlson reported.
 The SPLC once placed HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson
on an “extremist watch list,” before backing down and
removing him four months later.
 The SPLC also works with Amazon, Twitter, Google
and Facebook in their efforts to police their platforms.
 The SPLC’s work has been plagued by inaccuracies
and the group paid out a $3.3 million settlement in
April.

The FBI has an

“ongoing” relationship with the Southern
Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a left-wing
nonprofit that once placed Housing and
Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben
Carson on an “extremist watch list.”
That’s according to an exclusive report from Fox News
host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson, who
broke the news on his show “Tucker Carlson Tonight”
Friday.
“Well as you already know if you’ve been
paying any attention at all, the Southern
Poverty Law Center is a fraudulent
enterprise,” said Carlson. “It’s a left-wing
political group that uses ‘hate crime’
designations to target its ideological
enemies and to crush people.”
“The SPLC has repeatedly been allowed to
brief the FBI on alleged domestic terrorist
threats to this country,” Carlson reported.
“For many years, the FBI has engaged with
various organizations, both formally and
informally,” FBI spokeswoman Jacqueline
Maguire said in a statement to Carlson’s
show.
“Such outreach is a critical component of
the FBI’s mission, and we welcome
information from these organizations on
any possible violations of civil rights, hate
crimes, or other potential crimes or
threats.”
“The Attorney General has directed the FBI
to reevaluate their relationships with groups
like this to ensure the FBI does not partner
with any group that discriminates,”
Department of Justice spokeswoman
Sarah Isgur Flores told Fox News.
The SPLC’s lists of “extremists” and “hate
groups” have consistently courted
controversy and the nonprofit’s work has
been plagued by inaccuracies.

129
Floyd Lee Corkins, who opened fire at the Family
Research Center (FRC) in 2012, said he chose the FRC for
his act of violence because the SPLC listed them as a “hate
group.”
Carson was surprised to find out in February 2015 that the
SPLC placed him on an “extremist watch list” for his
conservative beliefs.
The SPLC cited as proof of Carson’s “extremism” a quote
in which he said:
“Marriage is between a man and a woman;
it’s a well-established pillar of society.”
Following a backlash, the SPLC apologized and removed
him from its list. Carson was on the list for four months
before the SPLC removed the “extremist” label.
The SPLC deleted three Russia-related articles this March
after challenges to their accuracy followed by legal threats.
The SPLC removed a controversial “anti-Muslim
extremist” list in April, after British Muslim reformer
Maajid Nawaz announced plans to sue the SPLC for
defamation. The left-wing group ending up paying Nawaz
a $3.375-million settlement.
Somali-born women’s rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali was
also on the list.
Ali, a victim of female genital mutilation who now
advocates against the practice, is an award-winning human
rights activist. For the last decade, her nonprofit, the AHA
Foundation, has worked to protect women from honor
violence, forced marriage and genital mutilation.
But according to the SPLC’s since-deleted list, Ali is an
“anti-Muslim extremist.” The SPLC has yet to apologize
or officially retract its “extremist” label for Ali.
130
Ali criticized Apple CEO Tim Cook in August 2017 for
donating to the SPLC, which she described as
“an organization that has lost its way,
smearing people who are fighting for liberty
and turning a blind eye to an ideology and
political movement that has much in
common with Nazism.”
The SPLC’s influence extends beyond its work with
federal law enforcement. The SPLC has working
partnerships with Twitter, Facebook, Amazon and Google.
The four tech companies all work with or consult the
SPLC in policing their platforms for “hate speech” or “hate
groups.”
The SPLC has faced tough criticisms not just from
conservatives, but from establishment publications, as
well.
“At a time when the line between ‘hate
group’ and mainstream politics is getting
thinner and the need for productive civil
discourse is growing more serious, fanning
liberal fears, while a great opportunity for
the SPLC, might be a problem for the
nation,” Ben Schreckinger, now with
GQ, wrote in a June 2017 piece for Politico.
Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle, while still
writing for Bloomberg, similarly criticized the SPLC’s
flimsy definition of “hate group” in September 2017.
Media outlets who trust the SPLC’s labels, McArdle
warned,
“will discredit themselves with conservative
readers and donors.”
 TOM FITTON: Twitter Shadow-Banned
My Account After President Trump Tweeted About Me
By Cristina Laila
July 28, 2018, 1:28 Pm
Twitter is desperately trying to do
damage control after they were caught
red-handed shadow-banning Trump
supporters and Republican lawmakers.
President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton said this week he
was shadow-banned by Twitter after President Trump
tweeted about him. He said the shadow-ban appears to be
lifted after publicly complaining about it.
‘Is this just a coincidence?’ Fitton asked.
Tom Fitton tweeted: So I was tweeted out 5 times by
@realDonaldTrump this week and I had been shadow
banned by Twitter. Coincidence?
Last weekend President Trump
congratulated Tom Fitton and Judicial
Watch for their superb work in getting
the DOJ to hand over the Carter Page
FISA documents.
131
Trump tweeted:
Congratulations to @JudicialWatch and
@TomFitton on being successful in getting
the Carter Page FISA documents. As usual
they are ridiculously heavily redacted but
confirm with little doubt that the Department
of “Justice” and FBI misled the courts.
Witch Hunt Rigged, a Scam!
President Trump tweeted about Tom Fitton five times and
the JW boss was subsequently shadow-banned–this further
proves Twitter users are being censored due to their
association with, and support for the President.
Twitter denied they “shadowban” users in a disingenuous
blog post this week by narrowly defining what
shadowbanning technically is.
People are asking us if we shadow ban. We do not. But
let’s start with, “what is shadow banning?”
The best definition we found is this: deliberately making
someone’s content undiscoverable to everyone except the
person who posted it, unbeknownst to the original poster.
Twitter also said in their blog post, they use three signals
when determining whether an account is a “bad faith
actor” and will ultimately be ‘down ranked’
(shadowbanned).
In their third signal, they said they look at how other
accounts interact with you (e.g. who mutes you, who
follows you, who retweets you, who blocks you, etc)
This third signal is precisely how Tom Fitton and GOP
lawmakers were caught up in their algorithms. Deplorables
constantly retweet Gaetz, Meadows, Jordan and Nunes
which ultimately led to their shadowbanning. Without
realizing it, Twitter admitted to shadowbanning
Republicans and Trump supporters.
Coincidence? No, Tom Fitton was shadow-banned for his
association with President Trump.
.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) announced Friday evening he is
filing a complaint against Twitter with the Federal Election
Commission after it was revealed that his own account was
being shadowbanned by Twitter.
Twitter stock tumbled 20% Friday after user numbers
declined.

 “Crumbs” Pelosi Desperately Tries To
Distract From Epic 4.1% GDP Growth – Posts Completely
Debunked Chart On US Wages
By Cristina Laila
July 28, 2018, 4:09 Pm

This angered Pelosi. The Democrats don’t want the

economy to improve; they hate President Trump so much
that they are hoping for a recession.

On Friday, Pelosi posted an article by far-left VOX, who

used a bogus Payscale chart to argue American wages have
dropped since Trump’s tax cuts.

While everyone was buzzing about the 4.1% GDP growth,

Pelosi said,

working people. Today is no different.
Important fact he refuses to acknowledge?
He’s presided over a drop in the real wages
of American workers.”

The US GDP for the second quarter accelerated to a

whopping 4.1% under the leadership of President Donald
Trump.

This is another BIG Trump win.

This doubles the first quarter growth of
2.2%.

The bogus Payscale chart was first

posted by Bloomberg last weekend.

135
The chart was quickly debunked by
people pointing out the numbers are
based on modeling of unknown validity
and the data was at odds with every
other source.
“This chart is based on modeling of
unknown validity and is completely at odds
with government data, which shows real
wages rising. Bad week for scare
statistics,” said Scott Winship who works
on the joint economic committee for
Republican Senator Mike Lee.
“Here is the level of average weekly
earnings among private nonfarm payroll
workers, adjusted for CPI inflation, from
BLS. This ought to track Payscale’s
“total cash compensation” concept
relatively closely over time, though
there may be timing differences in
specific quarters,” Ernie Tedeschi
continued.

“I’m sorry, I just don’t buy this Q2

Payscale data. At all. No other source
has given any indication of a collapse in
the level of nominal wages or a surge in
inflation in Q2,” said Ernie Tedeschi, a
former Treasury Department economist
focusing on fiscal, monetary and labor
policy.

136
 ‘It’s absurd to think real wages *fell* by
1.8% in Q2.’

Even Josh Barro, Business Insider

editor and contributor to MSNBC–
certainly no friend of President Trump’s,
poked holes in Bloomberg’s bogus
chart.

– Will Not Fund Border Wall In September Funding Bill

July 28, 2018, 8:07 Pm
Never-Trump Republican leaders
Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell told reporters this
week they will not fund the Trump
Border Wall in the upcoming spending
bill.
Ryan and McConnell passed a record
$1.3 trillion spending bill in March.
The spending bill funded Planned
Parenthood and sanctuary cities but
NOT the Trump border wall.
And now the Republican Party leaders
are going to stick it to President Trump
and his voters once again.
They’re not going to fund the border
wall in September.
.
138
The Daily Caller reported:
During a radio interview with WHAS on
Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell said the wall on the U.S.-Mexico
border will likely not make it into the next
funding legislation, which must be passed
by the end of September in order to avoid
another government shutdown.
When directly asked if the funding of the
border wall would have to wait until after
midterm elections, the Republican senator
replied “probably,” noting that it is
“something [Democrats and Republicans]
do have a disagreement on.”
“But most of the government will be
covered and then at the end of the year, if
we can’t reach an agreement on that, we’ll
do what’s called a ‘continuing resolution’ for
that little portion of the government
spending that’s left unpassed in individual
bills,” McConnell added.
McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan met with
Trump on Wednesday to discuss the funding legislation.
The following day, Ryan also indicated the wall funding
looked unlikely to be included in the current legislation.

The backlash was intense.

Fox Business Network’s Varney & Co asked viewers to

submit clues they thought Nancy Pelosi should read to the
contestants and the results were absolutely BRUTAL.

WATCH:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-

CA) appeared on Jeopardy! Friday
evening as a guest host to read ‘clues’
to the contestants.

Of course Pelosi’s ‘clues’ to the Jeopardy! guests were

presented in pre-recorded snippets because the House
Minority Leader can’t make it through a sentence without
short-circuiting.

Even with the professional editing, and no doubt multiple

takes to get it just right, Pelosi slurred her way through as
she read the clues to the contestants.

Jeopardy! fans were not happy with Pelosi’s appearance as

a guest host; as expected, she pushed left-wing, open-
borders propaganda on the show.

Pelosi bragged about being the first female Speaker of the

House, described Puerto Rico as a “hurricane-devastated Pelosi’s Twitter feed was also inundated

floor fighting for her precious illegal alien DREAMERs. Jeopardy! appearance.

impeachment of Deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein.
“If they don’t give us the information that

we will actually call to vote for the
impeachment of Rod Rosenstein,” Jordan
told radio host John Catsimatidis in an

Jordan and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), leaders in the

GOP Leaders -Will Shut Down Government
If Border Wall Not Funded
By Jim Hoft
July 29, 2018, 9:01 Am

They’re not going to fund the border

wall in September.
President Trump tweeted this out on
Sunday morning.

President Trump warned Democrats he

is willing to shut down the government
if border security including the Trump
border wall is not included in the
upcoming spending bill.
But the Republican president may have
to convince Congressional leaders first.
Never-Trump Republican leaders
Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell told reporters last
week they will not fund the Trump
Border Wall in the upcoming spending
bill.

Ryan and McConnell passed a record

$1.3 trillion spending bill in March.

The spending bill funded Planned

Parenthood and sanctuary cities but
NOT the Trump border wall.
And now the Republican Party leaders
are going to stick it to President Trump
and his voters once again.

 Feds Suspiciously Revise Obama’s GDP Up And President
Trump’s GDP Down – Still Debt To GDP Decreasing!
By Jim Hoft
July 29, 2018, 10:49 Am
The US GDP Numbers were released on
Friday and after accounting for new
revisions [?] and seasonal
adjustments[?], the debt to GDP ratio
still continues to decrease.
The US GDP for the second quarter
accelerated to a whopping 4.1% under
the leadership of President Donald
Trump. This was another BIG Trump
win doubling the first quarter growth of
2.2%.
.
146
Some changes were uncovered when reviewing the GDP
numbers from Friday.
The major change being that the US
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) put
through some revisions this quarter that
reduced the amount of actual GDP
reported in 2017 by a quarter of a trillion
dollars but increased the amount of
GDP in the Obama years.
A comparison of the GDP previously reported by the BEA
with the current amounts follows ->
It’s not clear what the revisions are in the report but clearly
they increase the GDP during the Obama years while
decreasing the actual total amount of GDP under President
Trump in 2017 and beyond.
Nevertheless, when comparing the
amount of US Debt from the
government’s daily report of debt to the
amount of GDP from the current release,
the amount of debt to GDP is
decreasing under President Trump (a
good thing).
Even with the revisions this quarter, the
ratio of debt to GDP is decreasing
drastically – from 105.3% to 103.9%
since the election!
It’s clear the amount of debt is
decreasing compared to GDP. Obama
increased this ratio by 40% while
President Trump is decreasing this
ratio. What’s not clear are the
“revisions” from the BEA that increase
Obama’s numbers while decreasing
President Trump’s.
 Trump Vows Government
Shutdown To Force Funding For Border Wall
Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent
2:32 PM 07/29/2018
President Donald Trump threatened to shut down the
government if lawmakers do not fully fund his proposed
border wall and enact his immigration priorities.
147
Trump’s Sunday tweet is likely to spark a high stakes
showdown with Democratic lawmakers who have pledged
not to give in to his demands. The fight could lead right
into the November midterm elections and put immigration
as a centerpiece issue in the last stages of the campaign
season.
Trump has long been frustrated by lack of effort to fully
fund his proposed $25 billion wall along the U.S.-Mexico
border. The White House originally tried to enact wall
funding and immigration priorities by tying demands to an
expiration of DACA. The DACA program allowed
hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants brought to the
U.S. as children to remain in the U.S. and work without
consequences.
 GIULIANI: Michael Cohen Is A Pathological Liar,
He Destroyed Himself As A Witness (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
July 29, 2018, 2:45 Pm

Michael Cohen even lied to CNN’s Chris Cuomo and

recorded a 2 hour conversation he had with Cuomo even
though he told the CNN host the conversation was off the
record.

All of these lies and Cohen leaking a potentially doctored

recording of Trump which aired on CNN last week has
destroyed Cohen as a witness, says Giuliani.

VIDEO:

President Trump’s personal lawyer,

Rudy Giuliani appeared on Fox News
Sunday to discuss the ongoing Michael
Cohen drama with Chris Wallace.

Michael Cohen, a longtime lawyer to Donald Trump has

recently flipped on the President, perhaps because he is
being squeezed by Mueller in another case related to a taxi
cab company he was financially involved in.

Giuliani called Michael Cohen a pathological liar and said

he destroyed himself as a witness.

Cohen had a proclivity for recording conversations with

clients and other people without their knowledge and now
he’s using his private recordings with Trump to harm and
harass the President.

President Trump went for it on Sunday

Angry Dems, some of whom have worked for Crooked

Trump tweeted: There is No Collusion! The Robert

Mueller Rigged Witch Hunt, headed now by 17 (increased
from 13, including an Obama White House lawyer) Angry
Democrats, was started by a fraudulent Dossier, paid for
by Crooked Hillary and the DNC. Therefore, the Witch
Hunt is an illegal Scam!

The newly released Carter Page FISA documents confirm

Obama’s corrupt FBI and DOJ relied on Hillary’s phony

President Trump is correct. Mueller’s witch hunt is an

illegal scam and must be shut down.

 The EU Political Scene:
Will Steve Bannon Play A Role In May
2019 Parliament Elections?
Guest Post By Felipe Cuelho
July 29, 2018, 6:04 Pm
The constellation of power in Brussels is undergoing an
epochal shift. While President Juncker’s visit last week to
Washington cemented his legacy as a pro-atlanticist, it’s
impossible to ignore his lame duck existence. With
elections coming up in May 2019 for the next European
Parliament – which elects Juncker’s successor – the knives
are out. A politicized relationship with the US will be front
and center in that campaign.
The parliamentary leader of the European People’s Party,
Manfred Weber, (a German member of the Bavarian CSU)
has led the charge in such politicization – a weekly, full
page ad in Brussels’ widely read Politico, has criticized
President Trump in personal terms over the last 18 months.
He ably muscled Juncker into the Presidency with a
“coalition” government with the Socialists and
libertarian(ish) ALDE parties – knifing the Socialists out
of that post when Martin Schulz resigned to run for the
Chancellorship in Germany. He “burrowed in” Martin
Selmayr, the former chief of staff to Juncker through a
whirlwind promotion to deputy secretary-general of the
EU’s executive arm, the Commission – followed by the
resignation of the actual secretary-general, which left
Selmayr with the crown. Whomever the next European
Commissioner is, and whatever their party affiliation,
Selmayr will figure large in their administration. He is a
globalist par excellance, and anti-American to the core.
In the other corner, the Irish-American bomb-thrower
preaching world revolution – Steve Bannon, CEO of
Trump-Pence 2016 and former Chief strategist of the
White House. Having developed a close relationship with
the EFDD’s Nigel Farage, he embarked on a grand tour of
European Eurosceptic parties, developing close links with
the ENF’s Marine Le-Pen, Matteo Salvini and Geert
152
Wilders (France, Italy and Netherlands, respectively).
Farage – who’s eurosceptic UK Independence Party won
first place in the 2014 European elections in the UK – has
an unclear role in Bannon’s new project: Assuming Brexit
happens, Farage will be out of the ring during this battle
royale. Bannon has such allies as Ted Malloch, Trump’s
favorite to be his EU ambassador and the “most feared
man in Europe” a full throttle American patriot.
While no party has yet declared their Spitzenkandidat –
their candidate to succeed Juncker as President – it seems
clear that tectonic shifts in European politics will make this
a very different election. The Socialists, currently the
second largest party in Brussels, have been bleeding
support all over Europe, not least in Germany, the most
populous (and therefore most numerous in the Hemicycle)
country in the EU. Other large concentrations of seats
(Spain, Italy, France) have all undergone fundamental
changes in their political situations: Italy is governed by an
EFDD-ENF coalition (5* and Lega), Spain’s EPP was
impeached from power (replaced by a socialist who holds
a paltry 24% of seats), and France’s Macron has not picked
a party to run with yet. Macron may be holding out to play
kingmaker after the election, but has been the first victim
of Selmayr’s machinations: An attempt to set up a
European party was frustrated on technical grounds.
Without going into the European left – a universe unto
itself, which is also sure to profit nicely from the present
politics – one thing we can say for certain: the ENF will
not be enough by itself, nor will the EFDD see any
advantage in relinquishing it’s perch as the “reasonable”
eurosceptic movement – as opposed to the ENF’s burn-it-
to-the-ground angle. David Cameron’s ECR group,
encompassing a classical liberal movement in opposition
to the dirigiste EPP may also emerge as a kingmaker.
If Bannon is to pull off another upset with his think-tank-
cum-super-PAC, removing the EPP from the Throne, he
will need to be promiscuous with his dark powers. With
only one exception (the one-year-long Mansholt
Commission), the Commission President has always been
from the EPP, Socialist or ALDE parties. Bannon and his
“barbarians” will have to ask themselves what their
objective truly is: to deny the bipartiasn consensus of
Socialist-EPP centrism another term (a scenario which
could see an ALDE or ECR “safe pair of hands” in the top
job), or to cultivate a longer-term alliance between
europhobic european parties.
Whichever strategy he picks, the issue of the day is already
before him: Europe’s 7-year budget is being decided at the
moment, to great protestations from all opposition parties –
even Macron’s En Marche has denounced the process,
rightly positing that tying the next administration’s hands
in their spending priorities – and potentially the one after
that, too – makes a farce of the 2019 elections. Guy “baby
.
153
Thatcher” Verhofstadt, ALDE’s leader, has made
eurosceptic noises of late. Bannon’s ability to participate in
opposition to that Weberian-Selmaryian straitjacket is a
major test of whether he sees politics as the art of the
possible, or if he plans to stay fully in the eurosceptic
corner of the ring without informing the public policy
process. One thing is for sure: if Weber wins this round,
the low stakes of the election will make it all much less
fun.
 Jim Jordan: We Will ‘Call The Vote For The
Impeachment Of Rod Rosenstein’
Mike Brest | Contributor
6:13 PM 07/29/2018
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan stood by his efforts to
impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein during
an interview Sunday with John Catsimatidis on “The Cats
Roundtable.”
“If they don’t give us the documents, if they
don’t give us information that we as a
separate and equal branch of government
are entitled to have in order to get answers
for the American people, then we will
154
actually call the vote for the impeachment
of Rod Rosenstein,” he stated.
Jordan, who’s a member of the House Freedom Caucus,
filed the articles of impeachment against Rosenstein with
Rep. Mark Meadow and nine other Republicans on
Wednesday. They have called for his impeachment for his
unwillingness to cooperate with Congress in regards to his
oversight of the special counsel’s investigation into the
president’s campaign and whether or not they colluded
with foreign entities.
“The DOJ is keeping information from
Congress. Enough is enough. It’s time to
hold Mr. Rosenstein accountable for
blocking Congress’s constitutional
oversight role,” Jordan said in the joint
statement released about the move to
impeach.
 Earlier this week Jordan also made clear his intentions to
run to be the next House speaker with Paul Ryan retiring in
November.

Some Republicans, including Speaker Ryan, have come

out against their decision, as has Attorney General Jeff
Sessions.

 Mental Health Experts Confirm
'Trump Derangement Syndrome' Is Real & Caused By
MSM-Liberal Hysteria And Excessive
Social Media Usage
By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine
July 29, 2018
It is official according to therapists across the U.S., though
not an "official" term for the diagnoses, they refer to it as
"Trump Anxiety Disorder," and the CBC report
regarding the issue admits it is the same malady that
Conservatives and Trump supporters call "Trump
Derangement Syndrome."
Elisabeth LaMotte, founder of D.C. Counselling and
Psychotherapy Center calls it "collective anxiety," says her
patients have "a fear of the world ending."
What's been called "Trump Anxiety
Disorder" has been on the rise in the
months following the election, according to
mental-health professionals from across
the country who report unusually high
levels of politics-related stress in their
practices.
And it's maybe not surprising given the
relentlessly negative headlines and
politically divisive climate.
The symptoms include
"a loss of control and helplessness, and
fretting about what's happening in the
country and spending excessive time on
social media."
156
Clinical psychologist Jennifer Panning of Evanston, Ill.,
coined the term "Trump Anxiety Disorder," and said the
"intense consumption of media
coverage of this presidency is making
some people's Trump-related anxiety
worse," according to the CBC report.
MEDIA HYSTERIA, DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS
AND SOCIAL MEDIA
In September 2017, Reuters reported that 67 percent of
Americans "somewhat rely on social media platforms
such as Facebook Inc, Twitter Inc and Snapchat for news."
For the first time in the Center’s surveys,
the research also found that 55 percent of
Americans adults over 50 were consuming
news on social media sites, up from 45
percent in 2016.
“While a small increase overall, this growth
is driven by more substantial increases
among Americans who are older, less
educated, and non-white,” the research
said.
Those under 50 years of age remained
more likely than their elders to get news
from these sites - 78 percent said they
consume news on social media
platforms, unchanged from 2016.
One last statistic from that Reuters' report before showing
how the mixture of the MSM, along with Democratic
politicians and celebrities usage of social media, is quite
literally driving liberals crazy, or to be more politically
correct as the initial report stated, giving them "Trump
Anxiety Disorder."
"Pew found that 74 percent of U.S. adults
who use Twitter say they get news there,
up from 59 percent of the site’s users in
2016.'
While I personally do not use SnapChat and very rarely
spend more than the time it takes to share an article on
Facebook, I have been observing the interactions on
Twitter, watching the 90 percent negative and hostile
coverage of President Trump by the establishment media,
get shared tens of thousands of times, even "news" that has
been retracted, deleted articles, and outright fake news.
Let me use a recent example. On a website called The
Root, on July 27, they published an opinion piece that has
since been removed, headlined "Evidence Shows Hackers
Changed Votes in the 2016 Election But No One Will
Admit It." The reason it was removed is shown in the
"Editors Note" which is now all that is left of that article
except for the headline, which just as the word [Updated]
at the end.
Editor’s Note: This story was an opinion
piece asserting there was evidence that
hackers changed votes in the 2016
election. However, a number of statements
in the piece are disputed by experts. As a
result, we have pulled it down for editorial
review, and will update it once that review
is completed.
When that piece is shared, because it is still an active link,
minus the entire article other than the Editors Note, it still
shows the original headline, and The Root's initial tweet
sharing the article has not been removed, which claimed
"U.S officials don’t specifically deny that
Russian operatives altered votes, they say
that there is no conclusive evidence to
support it. That is simply not true."
Now The Root's initial share only garnered 80 retweets, so
one would think the fake news was not spread too
extensively, except, others started sharing it on their own
accounts, such as Seth Abramson, who is listed as a "Legal
and political analysis @CNN, @BBC, @CBS,
@VanityFair" in his bio. Mr. Abramson shared the article,
which again has been retracted, with his 519K followers,
with a message attached stating,
"There is COMPELLING circumstantial
evidence suggesting votes were changed
by Russian hackers and Trump may not
have been elected president. The type of
evidence discussed here is the same type
of probative evidence used in EVERY
criminal case. A MUST-READ."
His tweet was shared by over 6,000 people, and liked over
8,000 times.... on an article that no longer exists because it
was taken down.
157
Multiple comments in his thread attempt to note the article
is gone because it was fake news, others are screaming,
and this is a direct quote by a user,
"Yep!! But then what?? @HillaryClinton is
the REAL PRESIDENT."
Other users with hundreds of thousands of followers also
separately shared the same article, garnering tens of
thousand more shares and people are still sharing it,
despite the fact that there is no article anymore, because
they just read the headline. The former chair of the DNC,
Donna Brazile, also shared that same article.
That is just one recent example of how the MSM, along
with Democratic politicians, are using social media to
incite and inflame liberals, using bogus news to misinform
their followers, creating conditions where liberals are
freaking out, which in turn stresses them out, and voila,
"Trump Anxiety Syndrome," aka Trump Derangement
Syndrome, spreads.
While that might be the most recent example of fake news
now being touted by liberals as gospel, other types of news
have gone viral on social media that aren't "fake" per se,
but are "the sky is falling" predictions by Democrats,
liberals and Democratic politicians,
such as Larry Sommers predicting "10,000
people will die annually from GOP tax bill,"
or when House minority leader Nancy
Pelosi denounced the GOP tax reform as
"armageddon."
For two straight years, longer if you include the negative
and hostile coverage from before the election of Donald
Trump, the media has hysterically predicted "global
recession" if Trump was elected, or Nuclear war was
imminent because Trump tweeted "Fire & Fury."
The examples go on and on and on, but long story
short, Media Research Center, has documented hysterical
amounts of television media coverage of president Trump
throughout 2017, and into 2018, and that coverage has
consistently been 90 percent hostile and/or negative. Those
same outlets take to social media to share that hostile
and/or negative coverage, which in turn gets shared by
other liberals all across social media platforms.
This explains the following numbers reported in the
original CBC report about "Trump Anxiety Syndrome," aka
Trump Derangement Syndrome:
According to the APA, a person's political
affiliation can affect their risk of anxiety.
About 26 per cent of Republicans polled
post-election considered "the political
climate" to be a source of stress, compared
 to 72 per cent of Democrats who felt the suffering from "Trump Anxiety Syndrome"
same way. can thank the media for their mental state.

The examples detailed regarding the 26 percent of
Republicans, show that Trump supporters face hostile
liberal leaning family members, or they are "scared of
getting pounced on by somebody who doesn't like me
because of Trump, just online."
Gale said she once got so drawn into the
"vitriol" from liberal critics online that she
had an anxiety attack.
Especially "disheartening" to Gale was
being labelled a "racist" and "fascist" for
supporting the president's policies.
Therapists around the country told CBC
they're seeing politically tinged anger and
anxiety from patients no matter their
political affiliation.
In Columbus, Miss., John Hawkins's
LGBTQ clients have opened up about their
worries "that their marriages might be
voided," while Trump supporters in his
sessions worry that liberals are trying to
thwart a president who is "doing the best
he can."
They should perhaps shut down their social media for a
while, go outside, interact with people not from a
keyboard, but in person, and quit taking everything CNN,
NBC, the NYT and Wapo tells them as gospel.
Conservatives made it through eight years of Barack
Obama and so did the nation itself, and liberals can rest
assured the world will not end because Donald Trump is
their president.
There are some legitimate issues out there that could lead
to catastrophe, or maybe not, but those issues predated
President Trump and will no doubt still exists after his
term, or terms, end.
Generally we don't use cartoon videos, but this Dr. Phil
TDS video from June 28 by "Semi- Respectable
Cartoons," is so spot on that almost every comment made
by the "TDS" woman, is something I see every single day
on Twitter by real liberals with TDS.

Democratic politicians, along with the media talking

heads, with consistent hostility and vitriol replacing any
attempt to report "news," constantly claim that President
Trump is divisive, but the mental health experts quoted,
see the media, the excessive social media usage, the
constant flow of deliberately "bad" news, as the reason that
America is becoming such a stressed nation.

BOTTOM LINE

Trump Derangement Syndrome is real

 Nunes: Americans Will Be ‘Shocked’
By Other Carter Page FISA Info
Chuck Ross | Reporter
6:32 PM 07/29/2018
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Chairman Devin Nunes claimed Sunday that the American
public will be “shocked” when it sees the remaining
blacked out portions of the FBI’s applications for spy
warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter
Page.
“We are quite confident that once the
American people see these 20 pages, at
least for those that will get real reporting on
this issue, they will be shocked by what’s in
that FISA application,” Nunes said in an
interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.
Nunes’ comments raise expectations about what
information remains hidden behind 20-plus pages of the
FBI’s fourth and final application for a Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant against Page.
The Department of Justice released portions of the four
FISA applications on July 20 in response to a Freedom of
Information Act lawsuit. A majority of the information
remains redacted because it is classified.
Nunes and his fellow Republicans on the Intelligence
Committee asked President Donald Trump in a June 14
letter to declassify 21 pages from the final FISA
application, which was signed by deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein.
160
The unredacted portions of the applications confirmed
much of what has already been made public through two
memos released earlier this year by Republicans and
Democrats on the House Intelligence panel.
The applications show that the FBI relied heavily on the
unverified Steele dossier to make the case that Page was
acting as a foreign agent of Russia during the presidential
campaign. Page has vehemently denied the allegations.
The release of the FISA applications reignited debate over
whether the FBI abused the FISA process by relying on the
dossier to obtain the warrants.
Democrats argued that the applications showed that the
FBI provided enough evidence to show FISA Court judges
that there was probable cause to believe that Page was
acting as a covert agent of Russia. They also asserted that
the information hidden behind the remaining redactions
likely provided other damning evidence against Page,
including evidence that would bolster the Democrat-
funded dossier.
But Nunes, a Trump ally, is suggesting that is not the case.
“What’s left that’s redacted, the American
people really do need to know what’s
underneath there.”
He also insisted on Sunday that “the Left and the media”
do not want additional portions of the FISAs to be made
public.
“They don’t want that unredacted. They
don’t want transparency for the American
people,” he said.
Nunes said that he believes that the president’s lawyers are
reviewing the June 14 letter to see if the 20 pages can be
made public.

Trump supporters have learned to tune out the fake news

mainstream media.

In a new CBS Battleground poll — 91%

of Trump supporters ignore the fake
news mainstream media.

Only 11% of Trump supporters trust the

fake news mainstream media.
Nice work, fake news media!
At least 90% of mainstream broadcast
coverage of President Trump since the
November 2016 election has been
negative.

People Like Michael Cohen

“The one thing about Michael Cohen is I’ve

Saturday morning after the Fox News host
brought up Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani’s
claim that the Cohen-Trump tape has been
altered. “When it comes to Michael Cohen,
you should be very suspicious of anything
he says. He’s on the hot seat. He’s looking
at going to jail, so people like him are
subject to making things up.”

Graham suggested that if Cohen has something new to say

he should say it under oath before Congress.

“So Mr. Cohen, if you have something new

“I’m tired of having President Trump tried in
the media,” said the South Carolina
senator. “I know what Cohen has said in
the past about President Trump not

 NYT Publisher Complains To Trump About ‘Potential’
Violence Against Journalists – Ignores Over 500
Violent Attacks On Trump Supporters
By Jim Hoft
July 29, 2018, 9:35 Pm
WRAL reported:
There have been over 538 violent
attacks against Trump supporters since
the 2016 election season.
The liberal mainstream media has
ignored these violent attacks.
Instead, the liberal fake news media has fomented,
encouraged and threatened, and harassed Trump
supporters.
163
On Sunday New York Times publisher
A.G. Sulzberger complained to
President Trump about “potential”
violence against reporters. The New
York Times has ignored the hundreds of
violent attacks against Trump
supporters.
President Donald Trump and the publisher
of The New York Times, A.G. Sulzberger,
engaged in a fierce public clash Sunday
over Trump’s threats against journalism,
after Sulzberger said the president
misrepresented a private meeting and
Trump accused The Times and other
papers of putting lives at risk with
irresponsible reporting. 16
Trump said on Twitter that he and
Sulzberger had discussed “the vast
amounts of Fake News being put out by the
media & how that Fake News has morphed
into phrase, ‘Enemy of the People.’ Sad!”
In a five-paragraph statement issued two
hours after the tweet, Sulzberger said he
had accepted Trump’s invitation for the July
20 meeting mainly to raise his concerns
about the president’s “deeply troubling anti-
press rhetoric.”
“I told the president directly that I thought
that his language was not just divisive but
increasingly dangerous,” said Sulzberger,
who became publisher of The Times on
Jan. 1.
“I told him that although the phrase ‘fake
news’ is untrue and harmful, I am far more
concerned about his labeling journalists
‘the enemy of the people,’” Sulzberger
continued. “I warned that this inflammatory
language is contributing to a rise in threats
against journalists and will lead to
violence.”

 Comey Ordered To
Preserve His Government Documents
By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times
Sunday, July 29, 2018
In this Thursday, June 8, 2017, file photo, former FBI
Director James Comey testifies before the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
Comey is urging voters to support Democrats in
November’s midterm elections.
The Department of Justice has ordered former FBI
Director James B. Comey to preserve any government
records in his possession, a watchdog group says.
The order covers such documents as memos he wrote for
the record on his private meetings with President Trump
and possibly with former President Barack Obama.
The Justice Department disclosed the Comey written
notification last week to Judicial Watch, just as the
conservative group was seeking a judge’s order to ensure
all of the ex-director’s government documents were
preserved and not destroyed.
Mr. Comey wrote memos on his laptop and also used a
personal Gmail account for FBI business — a practice that
the inspector general said violated Justice Department
guidelines.
Judicial Watch is suing the Justice Department in U.S.
District Court under the Freedom of Information Act.
Teamed with the Daily Caller News Foundation, the two
want Mr. Comey’s memos on his meetings with Mr.
Obama, Mr. Trump and congressional leaders.
“It is incredible that it took Judicial Watch’s
prodding of the FBI for it to ask Mr. Comey
to return federal records — over a year
after he was fired,” said Judicial Watch
165
President Tom Fitton. “Mr. Comey
continues to be protected by the FBI and
DOJ. It is outrageous that the agencies
oppose a simple preservation order to
make sure no Comey records are lost or
destroyed.”
Mr. Fitton told The Washington Times that Justice notified
him on July 26 of an FBI letter sent to Mr. Comey, but
wouldn’t provide a copy of the letter to Judicial Watch.
Mr. Trump fired Mr. Comey in May 2017, resting his
argument on how the FBI director unilaterally decided the
Hillary Clinton email investigation in July 2016 without
input from Justice lawyers, including the attorney general.
After the firing, Mr. Comey used a lawyer friend to leaked
to The New York Times contemporaneous memos on his
meetings with Mr. Trump. He recalls Mr. Trump urging
him to end the investigation into former White House
National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who ultimately
pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents.
Mr. Trump denies Mr. Comey’s account.
Justice Department Inspector General Michael E.
Horowitz, in his June report on the FBI’s Clinton probe,
accused Mr. Comey of insubordination.
He also criticized Mr. Comey for conducting FBI business
on his personal unsecured Gmail account.
Mr. Comey said in his IG interview that his unclassified
FBI mail connection malfunctioned at home so he relied
on Gmail or made notes on his laptop.
The IG asked Mr. Comey if he had reservations about
putting FBI messages on personal systems.
Mr. Comey said he didn’t, stating:
“Because it was incidental and I was
always making sure that the work got
forwarded to the government account to
either my own account or [another official],
so I wasn’t worried from a record-keeping
 perspective and it was, because there will
always be a copy of it in the FBI system
and I wasn’t doing classified work there, so
I wasn’t concerned about that.”
The IG report said,
“We asked Comey if the use of personal
email in this manner was in accordance
with FBI regulations. Comey replied, ‘I don’t
know. I think so, but I don’t know.’”
Mr. Horowitz concluded that Mr. Comey did not follow
Justice Department guidelines.
“We found that, given the absence of
exigent circumstances and the frequency
.
166
with which the use of personal email
occurred, Comey’s use of a personal email
account on multiple occasions for
unclassified FBI business to be
inconsistent with the DOJ Policy
Statement,” the IG said.
Said Judicial Watch’s motion to the federal
judge: “Considering the troubling finding by
the OIG and because Plaintiffs do not know
specifically what the FBI asked Comey to
do and what, if any, steps Comey is taking
to ensure preservation, Plaintiffs are
concerned records responsive to Plaintiffs’
FOIA requests will be lost or destroyed.”
Mr. Comey has emerged, along with other Obama
appointees, as a harsh Trump critic. He has urged the
nation to vote for Democrats.

 Dinesh D’Souza Slams Democrats
In New Movie For Being Too Racist For The Nazis
— AND HE’S RIGHT!
By Jim Hoft
July 30, 2018, 9:21 Am

Democrat policy in America was too racist even for Nazi

socialists.

Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza

announced his latest project recently to
The Hollywood Reporter.

used to his detractors belittling his work.
The movie is set for an August 3rd release. Dinesh D’Souza’s newest film will not only
make the controversial claim that Donald
Trump has a lot in common with Honest
Abe Lincoln, but will also suggest that
Democrats were once too racist even for
Nazis.
According to a clip provided exclusively to
The Hollywood Reporter, the film, Death of
a Nation, from the conservative
provocateur contains a scene where
several Nazis are discussing how they
should identify Jews in the 1930s.
“How does the American identify the
Negro?” asks one Nazi.
“One drop rule. Any discernible black
ancestry makes one count as black,” says
another.
“Even if someone acts white, they could
still be counted as black?” a third Nazi
asks.

That’s when D’Souza, who narrates the documentary,

The Hollywood Reporter announced today that a intones:
“controversial” segment in the movie discusses how

168
 “As for the Democratic one-drop rule,
incredibly the Nazis found it too racist even
for them.”
But Dinesh D’Souza is right.
The Nazis did find Democratic policy too
racist.
The LA Times reported:
In the late 1920s, Adolf Hitler declared in
“Mein Kampf” that America was the “one
state” making progress toward the creation
of a healthy race-based order. He had in
mind U.S. immigration law, which featured
a quota system designed, as Nazi lawyers
observed, to preserve the dominance of
“Nordic” blood in the United States.
The American commitment to putting race
at the center of immigration policy reached
back to the Naturalization Act of 1790,
which opened citizenship to “any alien,
being a free white person.” But immigration
was only part of what made the U.S. a
world leader in racist law in the age of
Hitler.
Here’s more history on the racist

 The Left Becoming A 'House Of Horrors'
Proves This 'Blueprint For The Destruction
Of America' Has Been Long In Play
- The Globalists 'New World Dis-Order' Is Being Built
Upon The Ruins Of God-Created Order
By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die
July 30, 2018
In one of the most important stories I've read in a long
time, the American Thinker recently put out a must-read
that Steve Quayle had linked to on his website titled
"Deliver Us To Evil" within which the author gives us one
of the best breakdown's we've ever read about why
America IS the way America now IS in 2018.
Beginning their story with a look at the series of total and
complete meltdowns now being suffered by many on 'the
left', including the massive breakdowns suffered by the
mainstream media, the American Thinker story then goes
on to take a look at the very nature of 'evil' itself and how
so many on 'the left' have embraced 'evil' without many of
them even realizing that was what they are doing, largely
due to 'luciferian inversion'.
So thoroughly indoctrinated into evil ideology that
somehow many believe that by carrying out their acts of
treachery and embracing the luciferian ideologies they've
been indoctrinated into they somehow really believe that
they are on the side of 'what is righteous', as we see in this
story, throughout history, almost all religions, cultures and
philosphical ideologies have described evil the same way.
And as the head of the Russian Orthodox Church,
Patriarch Kirill, recently warned, straying from those
accepted norms about the nature of evil is inviting disaster
and even 'end times'. First, from the American Thinker
story:
176
I am going to dare to look at the E-word:
evil.
"What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil,
slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip
is evil, envy is evil, hatred is evil, to
cling to false doctrine is evil; all these
things are evil. And what is the root of
evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is
the root of evil."
Some might be calling me an uptight,
white Christian bigot right now – except
that was a quote from Buddha. The
original uptight, white Christian bigot.
Believe it or not, most widely accepted
philosophies from a diversity of cultures
had serious agreements on what
constitutes evil. It was CS Lewis who
said (correctly) that there is far more
agreement on what is right and wrong in
different cultures than disagreement.
What Buddha is quoted as saying could
have been said by a Hindu, a Sikh, St.
Paul, or Moses – which is to say there is
real agreement on this subject across
cultures.
There are behaviors that are
consistently condemned across the
world. Buddha nailed them. Moses
nailed them. Confucius nailed them.
Jesus nailed them. Don't cross those
lines; don't go there. These are lines of
behavior that destroy, wreak havoc, and
leave individuals and cultures in
shambles. Like Venezuela. And that is
why they are so universally condemned.
Multiculturalism at its finest.
 So why is the left crossing so many of
these lines of behavior? A hint:
"In keeping silent about evil, in burying
it so deep within us that no sign of it
appears on the surface, we are
implanting it, and it will rise up a
thousand fold in the future. When we
neither punish nor reproach evildoers,
we are not simply protecting their trivial
old age, we are thereby ripping the
foundations of justice from beneath new
generations."
―Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag
Archipelago
And while we've witnessed cross aisle treason against
America and the American people with both Democratic
and Republican politicians having sold us out to embrace
some bigger global government ideology, as we see within
this ANP story, the blueprint to create order out of chaos
while the world is burning, churning and spurning the
Word of God in Heaven is alive and well. And as Steve
Quayle had warned us, that can be seen in the very
implementation of the 'new world dis-order' system that is
being built upon the ruins of God-created order, to be
completed sometime in the near future if the globalists
have their way.
As Masonic high priest Albert Pike, who had called
Lucifer 'God', helping set 'luciferian inversion' into motion,
allegedly wrote of long ago, a plan for 3 world wars to
unfold over the following century+ existed, a plan that if
we look hard enough can see is still unfodling with
provocateurs continually pushing for war in 2018.
As Steve Quayle had also mentioned in an SQnote while
linking to this story over at Liberty for Life called "
Albert Pike's 1871 Plan For The Three
World Wars", "whether written by Pike or
not, this bluprint is in play today and
explains the brotherhood of Congressman
177
and Senators destroying America and at
war with Christians".
With the introduction of someone who was most likely a
Muslim president in Barack Obama into America in 2008
having the full backing of the most powerful freemasons,
bankers, politicians and world leaders, should Obama have
really been born out of the country and in Kenya as many
have suggested, his introduction as the President of the
United States of America while a foreigner has set us up
for a Constitutional crisis our nation may never be able to
fully recover from.
And with Obama having weaponized both government and
law enforcement against law-abiding Christians,
Conservatives, 2nd Amendment supporters and those who
follow the US Constitution, yes, still the supreme law of
the land in America, he too cast 'luciferian inversion' into
motion. And he did so while inviting the Muslim
Brotherhood into the White House, a group which has
called for the destruction of Christianity, and appointing
radical closet Muslims such as John Brennan into some of
the highest ranking positions within law enforcement
agencies and US intelligence agencies.
As we had reported on ANP back on June 25th, we've
absolutely been witnessing 'luciferian inversion' running
rampant in America in 2018 with the left quite literally
declaring war upon Conservatives, with acts of media
approved violence and harassment of Conservatives now
up to 538 events as of this story writing.
And as we had reported in that story, those attacks,
absolutely acts of evil, and committed against peaceful,
law-abiding conservative Americans, have been embraced
by mainstream politicians such as Maxine Waters and
Nancy Pelosi. And we specifically called out the Southern
Poverty Law Center within that story for also pushing the
kinds of lies that were embraced by the masses via the
mainstream media publishing them with the masses then
acting out violently upon those lies.
Labeling numerous church groups, anti-
war activists, those opposed to Islamic
terror and countless other Conservative
 groups as 'hate groups', the MSM
picked up the SPLC's lies and ran with
them, thus infecting the minds of
millions with horrific untruths.
Yet the SPLC labeling numerous Conservatives, church
groups and those opposed to Islamic terror as 'hate groups'
was a lie, but a lie that the mainstream media happily
pushed and pushed and pushed until the masses on the left
accepted those lies as truth. And look at what has
happened since then. Those pushing luciferian inversion
couldn't be happier with the results of 2018.
And we shouldn't be the least bit suprised that so many on
the left hate Christianity, attempting to claim that
Christians standing up against the terror being espoused by
radical Muslims is somehow 'hate'. From this 2017 story
over at the National Review:
Let’s put this bluntly. The Democrats
won’t fix their “religion problem” so
long as their progressive base believes
the Christian religion is a problem. If the
activist Left’s deepest conviction is that
orthodox Christians aren’t so much
misguided as maliciously evil, then the
moral imperative is to either convert
them (through culture and education) or
defeat them (in court and at the ballot
box).
We see this reality in the dominant
leftist response to Trump’s victory.
While there are multiple thoughtful
liberals, like Wear, who either
understand or seek to understand their
ideological opponents, there are many
more who view the election’s outcome
as confirmation of their worst thoughts
about their fellow citizens. (“See? I was
right! White Evangelicals are racist.”)
Well no, standing up against radical Islam IS NOT 'hate'
and Christians as a whole are NOT 'racists'! And
President Trump supporters are not 'Nazi's' as so many
pushing luciferian inversion on the left would like the
world to believe.
Does 'the illuminati' now control Islam as Albert Pike said
their goal was and are they using it in an attempt to destroy
the West as our videographer argues in the 1st video
below? Certainly with what we've been witnessing with
the widespread illegal immigration that we've seen not
only here in the US but all across Europe, many have
argued that what we've been witnessing has been a full-
fledged invasion. And when some Muslims argue that such
a conquest of Europe is necessary, can anyone argue
against the fact:
178
That is what they're doing!
With most on the left not even realizing that radical
Islamists are totally against the rights of women and gays
and would much rather slaughter them or eternally enslave
them than to embrace them, its quite easy by looking at
that extreme to understand why there is such a huge
disconnect from reality being suffered by many of those on
the left.
While fighting for the rights of Islam and Muslims, they're
also fighting against their own rights by embracing those
who will happily take their own rights away should they be
given the opportunity. See the disconnect?
Much like students at Parkland High School in Florida
who are fighting to take away the 2nd Amendment from
Americans but in so doing, are fighting against their own
rights to protect themselves against murderers, robbers and
criminals who will never voluntarily give up their guns,
the left's full embrace of completely contradictory ideas
helps to explain the madness we've been witnessing being
expressed by so many of them.
So we'll close this story with a final, extended look at the
conclusion of this must-read story over at the American
Thinker which sums up for us the treachery and treason
we've been witnessing from the corrupted faction of the
'deep state' here in America as well as why their descent
into madness has come so quickly.
Three quotes from C.S. Lewis:
1. "The descent to hell is easy and those who begin
by worshipping power, soon worship evil."
2. "The greatest evils in the world will not be carried
out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting
behind desks."
3. "It is not done even in concentration camps and
labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it
is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded,
carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed
and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white
collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven
cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.
Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is
something like the bureaucracy of a police state or
the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern."
A perfect description of Strzok, McCabe,
Comey, Brennan, Clapper, the Clintons,
Barack the Smug, Schumer, Pelosi.
Leaders, all. But look at what they did. It
was a horrifying intensification of evil.
On the left, you've become a house of
horrors. The American people are
learning what you have become. We
know about the terrible things you've
done. Take care, because for the first
time in your lifetime, there will be
consequences.

Lesser people like Eric Swallwell, Adam

Schiff, Sally Yates, and so many others
in the leftist base chime in daily to
protect their "leaders," or what they
themselves have illicitly participated in,
and still do. It's because they got away
with being spoiled toddlers. For
decades.

It's because the media aligned with one

party for decades, skewing their
reporting beyond comprehension for
ideas and people they favored, and
against those they hated. They crossed
that multicultural line of wrongdoing.

The left asked to be delivered across

that line. By their behavior, they
assented.

It was not like the legends of Faust.

They didn't sign a pact with the devil as
he did. They just kept on acting as if
they had. Because no one called it what
it was; no one on their side, and few on
the other, said what needed to be said.

 President Trump Slams Democrats:
They Want To Abolish ICE – Want Open Borders
And More Crime (Video)
By Jim Hoft
July 30, 2018, 11:45 Am
On Saturday President Donald Trump released his weekly
address.
In last week’s address President Trump
attacked Democrats for their calls to
abolish ICE.
Trump explains how Democrats want
open borders and more crime.
Here is the transcript of President Trump’s weekly
address:
180
On September 11th, 2001, America
suffered the worst terrorist attacks in our
history. The attacks were carried out by
foreign nationals who exploited our lax
immigration laws and defrauded our
immigration system in order to murder
nearly 3,000 innocent people.
Following the attacks, Congress placed
most immigration enforcement functions
within a new agency known as the United
States Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, meaning ICE.
One of the critical lessons of 9/11 is that
immigration enforcement saves lives. We
must enforce the rules against visa fraud,
illegal overstay, illegal entry, and other
immigration violations and crimes; and
crimes they are – believe me, crimes they
are. These are the practices exploited by
terrorists, drug dealers, child smugglers,
human traffickers, gang members – and
countless unknown and unregistered
criminals – to gain illicit access to our
country and threaten our citizens.
In fiscal year 2017 alone, ICE arrested
more than 127,000 aliens charged or
convicted of crimes inside of the United
States. These were very serious crimes
and far too many of them.
Yet, leading Democrat politicians have
called to abolish ICE – nobody even
believes it, they want to abolish ICE – in
other words, they want open borders
and more crime.
And that’s what you’re going to get. You’ll
get more crime as you open up those
borders.
Last week, 167 Democrats in the House of
Representatives refused to vote for a
resolution to support the heroes of ICE.
These are brave and great men and
women. They’re in the trenches every day
taking the fight straight to vicious gangs.
They prey on our people, they hurt our
people, they kill our people.
 Without the brave heroes of ICE, we would
have no enforcement, no laws, no borders
and therefore – we wouldn’t even have a
country.
So to the courageous public servants at
ICE – men and women, great ones: we
want you to know that the American people
are with you and my Administration has
your back 100 percent.
You are the heroes who protect the lives of
our citizens, the safety of our communities,
and the sovereignty of our great nation.
We love you. We support you. And we
always will stand with you.
Thank you. And God Bless America.
Trump was right!

On Sunday DCCC Chair Ben Ray Lujan refused to say if

Democrats will abolish ICE if they take power.

 Joe Scarborough Claims Strong
Economy Won’t Save GOP In November
Nick Givas | Media And Politics Reporter
12:07 PM 07/30/2018
Joe Scarborough said Monday on “Morning Joe” that
Democrats could still win big this November and voters
aren’t always swayed by a strong economy.
“It’s really interesting. We always say that
people vote their pocketbooks and we’ve
been saying this for a very long time — but
they don’t in off-year
elections,” Scarborough said. “And we’ll
see what the 4.1 [percent GDP growth] is in
the third quarter. Most economists say it’s
going to go back down significantly. But we
shall see.”
Scarborough continued to make the case for an anti-
Trump wave and began listing examples of poor
performances by the president’s party during a midterm
election year.
WATCH:

182
“You know in ’94, Bill Clinton had a great
economy, but he was seen out of touch
with the mainstream of America. And
there’s a massive Republican tidal wave,”
he continued. “2006, the economy was
going pretty darn well, but again, that was
post [Hurricane] Katrina. That was in the
middle of Iraq. Nancy Pelosi became
Speaker of the House.”
Scarborough claimed voters don’t always vote with their
pocketbooks and said social issues, along with President
Donald Trump’s “leadership style” would serve as the
deciding factors.
“People don’t always vote their pocketbook
in midterm elections,” he concluded.
“Often, they vote in reaction to what they’ve
seen in the past two years on cultural
issues or even a leadership style.”
 Mueller Claims Manafort Made More
Than $60 Million In Ukraine –
What About Tony Podesta?
By Cristina Laila
July 30, 2018, 12:21 Pm
In a new court filing Monday, Dirty cop
Robert Mueller claimed Trump’s former
campaign chair Paul Manafort made
over $60 million as a consultant in
Ukraine.
This is the first time Mueller has disclosed an actual figure
in the Manafort case; the bank fraud and tax fraud case in
Alexandria, VA begins Tuesday.
Mueller is accusing Manafort of failing to pay taxes on a
large portion of his tax returns.
What the hell does this have to do with Russian collusion
during the 2016 election?
The Hill reported:
Mueller said government prosecutors
expect to prove that Manafort earned the
money and failed to report a significant
percentage of it on his tax returns. The
filing is the first time a tally of Manafort’s
earnings in Ukraine has been revealed.
“No ‘pay stubs’ or ‘paychecks’ reflect that
income, rather, the invoices and bills
.
183
submitted by various consultants provide
proof on that issue,” he said in the filing.
“Accordingly, to prove that Manafort earned
that much income, the government must be
able to show the extent of the work that he
performed for Ukraine.”
Mueller is fighting Manafort’s request for the court to
exclude more than 50 trial exhibits that relate to his
political consulting work in Ukraine between 2005 and
2014.
Mueller said the challenged exhibits, which include a
memoranda, emails and photos reflecting tasks performed,
are relevant to establish the extent of Manafort’s work.
Judge T.S. Ellis granted five witnesses immunity in the
bank fraud and tax fraud case which begins Tuesday, July
31st on the condition their names would be released to the
public.
Tony Podesta was let off the hook and given immunity in
the DC case where Manafort is being charged for failing to
file a FARA form for his Ukrainian lobbying efforts.
The now-defunct Podesta Group made millions of dollars
(or more) off of its business dealings with Ukraine and
other countries, so why isn’t Mueller digging into Tony
Podesta’s offshore accounts and tax returns?
Bernie Sanders’ top chief strategist, Tad Devine is another
Democrat who was also let off the hook by Mueller even
though he worked with Manafort in Ukraine.
Further proof Paul Manafort is being hunted down like an
animal by Mueller because of his association with Donald
Trump.

SCREAM AT TOP OF THEIR LUNGS At President
Trump In Oval Office — UNREAL! (VIDEO)

The Behavior of Liberal Media Hacks is
Just Unbelievable!
President Donald Trump met with Italian Prime Minister
Giuseppe Conti Monday in the Oval Office.
President Trump opened the room to reporters so the two
leaders could make a few statements during their meetings.
184
The reporters know when they come into a meeting
whether or not the president will take questions. On
Monday the president was not planning on taking
questions.
The liberal media hacks wanted
desperately to harass the president
about the Russian-collusion witch hunt
while he was sitting with a foreign
leader.
So they started SCREAMING at
President Trump!
It sounded like they were SCREAMING

Michael Cohen, lacks credibility and could backfire on

“I think the Cohen development is very

potential catastrophe,” Turley said on
“Morning Joe” Monday. “If any of those five

Turley claimed Donald Trump Jr. could end up going to
court and predicted a fierce backlash from the White
House if he’s ever formally charged with a crime.
“It is not that the [Trump Tower] meeting
will establish a crime of collusion, even if
what Cohen is saying is true,” Turley
continued. “What it would mean is that
Donald Trump Jr. would be in serious
jeopardy of a criminal charge. If Mueller
was to go after Donald Trump Jr., I think
.
Turley said Trump would likely begin firing people if his
son was ever charged with a crime and predicted his
actions could invite stronger calls for impeachment.
“I think that Donald Trump very well could
match his past visceral language with
similar language with similar action. He
could start to fire people,” he added. “And
that would have a cascading effect. It
would probably take us right to the door
step of impeachment.”
“Thus far, there isn’t any corroboration from
Michael Cohen and the fact is, he’s not a
very credible person,” Turley
concluded. “Cohen is really not redeemable
as a witness.”

 Nunes: Legal Action A Possibility
Against Twitter For Censoring Conservatives
Kyle Perisic | Contributor
2:00 PM 07/30/2018
Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California said on Fox
News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that he’s
looking to possibly take legal action against Twitter after
reports surfaced indicating the company is censoring
conservatives.
“I don’t know what Twitter is up to. It sure
looks to me like they are censoring people
and they ought to stop it. And we’re looking
at any legal remedies that we can go
through,” Nunes said Sunday.
Nunes, the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence chairman, added that he was receiving
complaints that people were unable to find him on Twitter
— suggesting he had been shadow banned.
Shadow banning is hiding content or accounts without
outright deleting them through the use of special
algorithms that make the content or accounts effectively
harder to search for.
“I had no idea what shadow banning even
was. For several months, people have
been contacting me saying that, ‘Hey I tried
to find you on Twitter, I couldn’t find your
account. Why is that?'” Nunes said.
.
191
He pointed to a recent Vice News article, without naming
it, that showed how four Republicans were effectively
shadow banned, while Democrats were unaffected.
The four House Republicans affected were members of the
conservative House Freedom Caucus: Nunes, Rep. Matt
Gaetz of Florida, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Mark
Meadows of North Carolina.
“They don’t call it shadow banning but,
effectively, we were getting caught up in
some type of trap to where people couldn’t
see our Twitter feed,” he added.
Twitter denied censoring conservatives in a blog post on
July 26, after President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter
that he too will look into taking any possible legal action
against the company.
“Twitter ‘SHADOW BANNING’ prominent
Republicans. Not good. We will look into
this discriminatory and illegal practice at
once! Many complaints,” the president
wrote.
Twitter, while denying they shadow ban, admitted to using
the algorithms and even that “you may have to do more
work to find” people on the platform.
“We do not shadow ban. You are always
able to see the tweets from accounts you
follow (although you may have to do more
work to find them, like go directly to their
profile). And we certainly don’t shadow ban
based on political viewpoints or ideology,”
the company wrote.

him to get out of the Oval Office.

“Move, Jim! Let’s go! Keep going, Jim!

 Donald Trump Vs. The New York Times
Derek Hunter | Contributor
2:33 PM 07/30/2018
On today’s Daily Daily Caller Podcast, the discussion
focuses on the meeting between President Donald Trump
and New York Times publisher AG Sulzberger and the
latter’s claim that the president calling journalists “enemies
of the people” is putting journalists in physical danger.
The elite media, led by the Times, is very upset that the
president calls them “fake news” and an “enemy of the
people,” but they don’t seem to have a problem with
members of the media who call the president “Hitler” and
Republicans “Nazis.” Journalists fear someone might
.
193
attack them because of what the president calls them, yet
they have no concern that someone might attack
Republicans over what they call them. In fact, Republicans
were attacked on a baseball field in Virginia last year by a
leftist who believed the rhetoric that the GOP health plan
would kill tens of thousands of people each year. James
Hodgkinson, an ardent supporter of Bernie Sanders and
leftists causes, tried to gun down as many Republicans as
he could because he believed the liberal’s rhetoric.
Employees at AG’s own newspaper have a habit of
comparing Trump and Republicans to history’s greatest
monsters, but Sulzberger doesn’t seem to mind that. Of
course, if someone truly believed Nazism has seized the
government, they’d almost have a moral obligation to act
against it. Democrats are hoping that “action” against it is
at the ballot box, and they’re willing to risk the prospect of
one of their violent fringe members getting violent (again)
to motivate their base. It’s a dangerous game that the
publisher of the New York Times is either unaware of or
perfectly fine with.
And the city of Austin, Texas, may change its name
because its namesake was not “woke” nearly 200 years
ago. Can’t make this stuff up.

Giuliani continued that the tape Cohen released was likely

Trump has alleged the same and ripped Cohen:

“What kind of a lawyer would tape a client?

So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it

there are other clients and many reporters
that are taped – can this be so? Too bad!”

“The guy is unethical, he’s a scumbag, he’s

a horrible person. I’ve never heard of a
lawyer taping his client without the client’s
consent,” Giuliani said after being
confronted with past comments praising
Cohen.

Cohen recently released a tape of a conversation he had

with Trump to CNN in which they discussed alleged

 Out Of Touch Joe Scarborough
Laughs At Economic Growth
By Cody Leach
July 30, 2018 2:39 PM EDT
In another blatant display of just how out of touch the
liberal media has become since the election of President
Trump, on Monday's Morning Joe, MSNBC hosts Joe
Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski took turns laughing at
the incredible economic progress that has been made under
Donald Trump.
After playing a clip from his Friday news conference, they
bounced off insults and laughter, almost as if they were
completely ignorant of the 4.1% projected growth for the
quarter.
Scarborough claimed folks can use the "Google machine"
to see the evident recovery from Bush, Obama, and onto
Trump. Did Joe not realize on the "Google machine" you
can see the sudden explosion of economic investment after
the historic tax cuts and deregulation that has happened
since President Trump was elected? Evidently not.
Here is a transcript of the July 30 exchange:

 POTUS Trump Calls Out Mueller
For CONFLICT Of Interest:
‘I Turned Him Down’
Posted On July 30, 2018

(National Sentinel) Dirty Deal: There is so much about the relationship, I turned him down to head the
appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller that is just FBI (one day before appointment as S.C.)
plain wrong, but one of the biggest reasons why seldom & Comey is his close friend..”
gets mentioned.

Unless you’re POTUS Donald Trump and you’re doing

your best — daily — to remind Americans what a travesty
Mueller’s appointment really was.

First of all, you may recall that fired FBI Director James
Comey, a long-time friend and associate of Mueller,
wrangled his appointment by leaking memos to the press
that were very likely classified.

In fact, the Justice Department inspector general, Michael
Horowitz, is now looking into that release.
Furthermore, Mueller was appointed by
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,
who signed the third of three FISA
court applications to allow the FBI to
continue spying on Trump campaign
adviser Carter Page — an authorization
based on a made-up opposition
research “dossier” paid for by the Hillary
Clinton campaign.
On Sunday, POTUS Trump reminded Americans in a
tweet of additional “conflicts” of interest Mueller brings to
the table, including the fact that the president turned
down Mueller as Comey’s replacement.
The day before Mueller was appointed.
“Is Robert Mueller ever going to release his
conflicts of interest with respect to
President Trump, including the fact that we
had a very nasty & contentious business
.
The Hill elaborated:
The president seemingly confirmed a New
York Times report from January that said
Trump attempted to fire Mueller in June
2017 over alleged conflicts of interest.
The Times reported that Trump listed three
conflicts he believed should
disqualify Mueller: A dispute over fees at
Trump’s National Golf Club in Virginia, his
interview for FBI director before being
named special counsel, and Mueller’s
previous employment at a law firm that
represents Trump’s son-in-law, Jared
Kushner.
White House counsel Don McGahn reportedly said he
would quit rather than fire Mueller, but who can seriously
blame POTUS if he had done so?
Apparently, legal obstacles like a conflict of interest only
apply outside the Washington, D.C. Beltway.

 "No Preconditions": Trump Will
Meet Iran's Rouhani "Anytime They Want"
By Tyler Durden
Mon, 07/30/2018 - 15:15

President Trump said on Monday that he is willing to meet

with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani with "no
preconditions," exactly one week after he blasted out a
fiery all-caps threat to the regime over Twitter.

“I would certainly meet with Iran if they

wanted to meet. I don’t know if they’re
ready yet,” Trump said, responding to a
reporter's question during a White House
press conference alongside Italy's new
Prime Minister Guiseppe Conte.

Just yesterday we noted that Iran's currency is in freefall -

pegging 102,000 Rials to the US Dollar on the black
market, according to currency website Bonbast, and
confirmed to AFP by a currency trader.

Trump suggested a meeting with Rouhani would be the

Watch for the MSM to follow the North Korea playbook
on this one - blasting Trump for failing to follow
"protocol" as he carves a new path through international
relations.
Following a warning from Rouhani earlier in the month
that hostile US policies could trigger the "mother of all
wars," after which Trump blasted back via Twitter:
"appropriate thing to do," and that it would come neither
from a position of strength nor weakness, reports Fox
News.
***
After last week's war of words with Iran's leadership,
which included multiple Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps (IRGC) commanders chiming in with threats of their
own after Trump's prior Sunday tweet,

Trump's decision to meet with Rouhani would be the first it was the prospect of war with Iran that
major step towards mending relations after he pulled out of drove international headlines, with

committed to curtailing its nuclear program in exchange backseat in coverage.
for reduced sanctions.

198
On Thursday the head of the IRGC's elite Quds Force,
Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, fired back at Trump in a
speech, saying
“You threaten us with an action that is
‘unprecedented’ in the world.
This is cabaret-style rhetoric. Only a
cabaret owner talks to the world this way.”
“It is beneath the dignity of our president to
respond to you. I, as a soldier, respond to
you,” Gen. Suleimani said in the fiery
speech carried by state media.
Tehran has also recently threatened to impose a blockade
on the vital Straight of Hormuz, potentially choking up to
one-third of the world's supply of oil which flows through
the narrowest point in the Persian Gulf.
This as Washington has repeatedly
threatened to throttle Iran's international
oil trade as it's moved closer to imposing
sanctions on countries, including key allies,
that don’t eliminate or significantly cut
imports of Iranian oil by Nov. 4.
Last week's noticeably heightened tensions go back in part
to July 4 statements issued by Iranian President Rouhani.
He said,
"The Americans have claimed they want
to completely stop Iran's oil exports.
They don't understand the meaning of this
statement, because it has no meaning for
Iranian oil not to be exported, while the
region's oil is exported," the state-run
website, president.ir, quoted Rouhani as
saying.
“The Americans say they want to reduce Iranian oil
exports to zero... It shows they have not thought about
its consequences,” Rouhani said.
.
199
This was followed by a published letter from Gen.
Soleimani who signifiantly narrowed the threat, writing
"Your comments, carried by the media,
that if the Islamic Republic’s oil isn’t
exported there would be no guarantees
for the whole region’s oil to be exported,
is a very valuable comment."
This was taken by military analysts and Pentagon leaders
as a threat to shut down the about 31 miles wide Straight
of Hormuz, to which the Pentagon responded it would use
military force if it perceived the Persian Gulf waterway
under threat by Iran.
Very likely all of this was discussed and more as national
security adviser John Bolton held a national
security meeting Thursday involving Pentagon and other
top officials.
As the WSJ reported at the time it was to
consider further sanctions on Iran as well a
possible "new agreement" with Tehran
after the White House formally withdrew
the US from the 2015 JCPOA, as well as to
consider what the US could gain in terms
of new concessions in a now high
pressure environment of stringent
sanctions and threat of military force.
It appears this process could now be
playing out with today's shock "no
preconditions" offer from Trump to meet
with Iran's President Rouhani.
Namely, are we witnessing Trump's
classic "art of the deal" style approach
wherein he puts immense pressures on
Tehran, but at the last moment as things
get to breaking point offers the
proverbial "carrot"? ...And toward the end
that he can make a "bigger better deal"?
 ‘They Know Where The Skeletons Are’
Grassley Calls On Trump To Honor Whistleblowers In
Order To ‘Drain The Swamp’
By Cristina Laila
July 30, 2018, 3:28 Pm
On Monday, Senate Judiciary Chairman
Chuck Grassley (R-IA) called on
President Trump to honor
whistleblowers in order to “drain the
swamp.”
“Whistleblowers know where the skeletons
are in government,” said Grassley.
President Trump vowed to “drain the swamp” as part of
his campaign promise to the American people.
For too long, the swamp creatures in DC have gone against
the American voters with the Deep State bureaucracy
continuing to serve special interest groups and lobbyists
rather than taxpayers.
Chuck Grassley tweeted: 2day is national whistleblower
appreciation day The way to drain the swamp is for the
president to honor whistleblowers. whistleblowers know
where the skeletons are in govt why not have a rose garden
ceremony honoring whistleblowers? @realDonaldTrump
200
Plenty of whistleblowers have come forward since
President Trump was elected, however; the Justice
Department is being held hostage by Sessions and
Rosenstein.
William D. Campbell, the FBI informant
and whistleblower on the Uranium One
scandal broke his silence in an
explosive testimony to Congress
in February.
Other whistleblowers in the FBI are also ready to speak
about the corruption under Comey’s directorship.
Another whistleblower told Rep. Ron
DeSantis (R-FL) that he witnessed a
senior FBI executive suggest the FBI
had a personal motive and targeted
Flynn with the purpose of ruining his
career.
We need to get rid of AG Sessions and appoint an
Attorney General who is ready to help President Trump
drain the swamp otherwise there’s no point in
whistleblowers risking their safety coming forward.
 Joe Scarborough Scolds Trump Supporters
For Not Fact Checking Trump With Google
Nick Givas | Media And Politics Reporter
3:34 PM 07/30/2018
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough scolded Trump supporters on
“Morning Joe” on Monday for not using Google and the
internet to fact check President Donald Trump on issues.
“Why don’t people — why don’t my friends
and family just turn on the Google
machine,” Scarborough said. “Just crank it
up in the backyard. Crank up the Google
machine.”
Scarborough began making a cranking motion with his
hands before co-host Mika Brzezinski chimed in to voice
her frustration.
“The truth has been devalued, and people
must not care,” Brzezinski replied.

Scarborough said Trump’s claims could be “blown out of
the water” with 30 seconds of internet research and
suggested people borrow their neighbor’s “Google
machine” to find out the whole truth.
“I don’t understand,” he continued. “So
many of his lies, so many of his claims can
be completely blown out of the water with
30 seconds and just, again, borrow your
neighbor’s Google machine.”
“Thirty seconds and it is a proven lie. By
the way, from a thousands different

“Again, the truth is 30 seconds away.

 NYT Columnist Already Dreaming Of Trump’s
Defeat In 2020, Writes About His Loss To Elizabeth Warren
Nick Givas | Media And Politics Reporter
4:07 PM 07/30/2018
New York Times opinion columnist David Leonhardt
predicted President Donald Trump will lose his 2020 re-
election bid to Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of
Massachusetts, in a Sunday op-ed.
“Donald J. Trump, who spent much of the
past four years as a historically unpopular
president, lost his bid for re-election
Tuesday,” the article begins.
“His approval rating hasn’t approached 50
percent since he took office, and neither
did his share of the vote this year.”
Leonhardt described Trump’s first term as an “era of deep
national anxiety” with a stagnant economy and said the
normal rules of politics still apply to the president.
“The arc of the Trump story is starting to
make more sense than it has for much of
his chaotic presidency,” Leonhardt wrote.
“The normal rules of politics do apply to
Donald Trump, after all.”
.
202
He blamed Trump’s 2016 victory on former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton’s shortcomings and former FBI
Director James Comey’s involvement in the campaign,
while praising women for playing a crucial role in Trump’s
defeat.
He also predicted Warren would pick former Attorney
General Eric Holder as her running mate and considers her
to be the “plausible” candidate for the Democratic
nomination.
“She and Holder consciously borrowed
from the populist strategy of Obama’s 2012
campaign against Mitt Romney. Rather
than emphasize Trump’s personal
behavior, as the 2016 Clinton campaign
did, they cast him as a greedy billionaire
who corruptly used the presidency to enrich
himself further,” Leonhardt continued.
“They also largely ignored Trump’s
repeated criticisms of the ongoing NFL
national anthem protests.”
He only credits Trump with getting 46 percent of the
popular vote and believes Warren will win in an electoral
landslide after voters become fatigued with Trump’s
agenda.
“From the start of Trump’s meteoric political
career to the end, he never enjoyed the
support of most Americans,” Leonhardt
concluded.
 PANIC: CNN Throws Fit Over
Daily Caller, Reuters Reporters Not Hammering
Trump On Cohen
By Curtis Houck
July 30, 2018 4:57 PM EDT
On Monday afternoon, CNN went into full-blown panic
mode directing anger and bitterness at the Daily Caller’s
Saagar Enjeti and Reuters’s Roberta Rampton following
President Trump’s press conference with Italian Prime
Minister Giuseppe Conte in which neither U.S. reporter
asked the President the questions CNN wanted them to.
Instead, Enjeti pressed Trump on his threat to shutdown
the government while Rampton focused on Iran. But
because neither subject touched on Michael Cohen or
Russian collusion, CNN tried to convince audiences that
this was a distraction from the real issues.
And, of course, this is far from the first time that this has
happened, dating back to the early days of the Trump
presidency (for examples, go here, here, here, here, here,
here, and here).
Host Wolf Blitzer swooped in after the presser ended,
complaining that there were
“[n]o other questions involving the
President's former lawyer, Michael
Cohen or — or Robert Mueller, the
Special Counsel for that matter at this
news conference.”
Senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny was more
direct, offering weak spin and misstatements of opinion
that those two issues matter
“[b]ut I do think another headline is
indeed what was not asked here at this
203
news conference” as Trump’s been
“consumed....by the special counsel's
investigation and those questions were
not asked.”
Zeleny’s kvetching draged on and was humorously
interrupted for a second or two by his camera feed going
out:
We tried to asking him those questions at
the end of the news conference if he does
feel betrayed by Michael Cohen, of course,
his long time lawyer confidante and
protector. He turned briefly — the President
— but did not answer the questions and,
Wolf, we should say that, you know, the
limitation of questions, two on each side
is a way, of course, to protect the White
House from [ZELENY CAMERA GOES
DARK] answering questions we call
news of day, the biggest headlines that
may be out there and, of course, there are
so many questions to ask the President.
But it is true, Wolf, I can tell that you
White House aide were asking some
reporters here today what they planned
to ask the President. Now, this is not
necessarily untypical. You probably
remember this as well from when you
covered the White House for so many
years. Administrations do ask reporters
what they plan to ask. Most reporters I
know do not answer that question besides
of news of day. I always say, you know,
whatever the President has spoken about,
may be tweeting about, those are fair game
for questions. We did not tell the White
House what we planned to ask today and
of course we were not called on here.
So, Wolf, it is clear I think one of the
headlines here at this press conference is
the fact that some of the biggest
controversies and clouds hanging over this
administration were not asked today about
the two U.S. journalists who were called on
by the White House, Wolf.

Blitzer responded that he’s
“sure the President is relieved, sighing
a little bit — a breath of relief over the
fact that the two American journalists
who asked questions” but not a “very
important issue, the investigation, the
Robert Mueller investigation, his
personal attacks on the special counsel,
which have escalated in recent days and
the — what his supporters believe are
betrayal by Michael Cohen, his former
lawyer and fixer.”
Moments later, Kaitlan Collins took a swing at both
reporters, which was interesting since Enjeti succeeded her
as the Daily Caller’s White House correspondent when she
left for CNN.
“And also, we have to talk about what
we’re not talking about here, what the
President is surely pleased he was not
asked about there and that is Michael
Cohen and the Special Counsel Robert
Mueller, which clearly, as we saw from
the President’s Twitter feed this
weekend, is something that truly
consumed him in recent days,” she
began in throwing shade the way of Enjeti
and Rampton.
In addition to Trump criticism of Mueller, Collins fretted
that neither reporter asked Trump about comments made
by his lawyer and supporter Rudy Giuliani in a CNN
interview.
She continued by backing the bus up and then driving over
once more:
The President wasn’t asked about either
one of those reporters and, of course,
there’s only so many questions you can
ask, but clearly, a subject the President is
204
trying to avoid questions on. You saw, last
week, he was not pleased when I and
several other reporters asked about that
during the meeting in the Oval Office,
especially about Michael Cohen. This
attorney and long time fixer and friend of
the President’s that is now alleging he
knew about that meeting between Donald
Trump Jr. and the Russians before it
occurred and after, which is not what the
President, not what his aides have said.
They said he learned in July of 2017, a
year after it occurred. The President wasn't
asked about that there even though he did
push back on it on Twitter this weekend
and we did see him really ramp up his
attack on the Special Counsel.
Back in the day, Collins was targeted by her now-
colleagues in the liberal media, but with her being banned
from a July 25 White House event, she’s now the newest
journalistic firefighter. Funny how things change.

July 30, 2018
2:42 p.m. Eastern
WOLF BLITZER: Alright, you heard a couple of shouted
questions at the end there. “Do you feel betrayed by Michael
Cohen?” No other questions involving the President's former
lawyer, Michael Cohen or — or Robert Mueller, the special
counsel for that matter at this news conference, but there were
two major headlines emerging. The President of the United
States saying he would have no problem doing a federal
government shutdown if he doesn't get what he wants on border
security, including a wall and at the same time, he says he is
willing to meet, without any preconditions with the Iranian
leadership, President Rouhani. No preconditions, willing to meet
with them any time they want. A significant statement given the
fact that the State Department regards Iran as the world's leading
state sponsor of terrorism. There is a lot to discuss.
(....)
BLITZER: I quickly want to go to Jeff Zeleny, our White House
correspondent. You’re there in the East Room. Give us your take
on what we just heard.
JEFF ZELENY: Wolf, clearly, the Iran meeting without
preconditions as you have been discussing is a major headline
as well as the government shutdown. But I do think another
headline is indeed what was not asked here at this news
conference. Clearly on President's mind through his own words,
his own tweets over the weekend, he is indeed consumed at
least in part by the Special Counsel's investigation and those
questions were not asked. We tried to asking him those
questions at the end of the news conference if he does feel
betrayed by Michael Cohen, of course, his long time lawyer
confidante and protector. He turned briefly — the President —
but did not answer the questions and, Wolf, we should say that,

journalists who asked questions. One asked about a government
shutdown, which is an important issue, obviously.
.
205
ZELENY: No doubt. Very important.
BLITZER: And the other asked about Iran, talks with Iran which
is, obviously, also a very important issue.
ZELENY: Indeed.
BLITZER: But as you correctly point out, the President was not
asked about a third very important issue, the investigation, the
Robert Mueller investigation, his personal attacks on the special
counsel, which have escalated in recent days and the — what his
supporters believe are betrayal by Michael Cohen, his former
lawyer and fixer.
(....)
KAITLAN COLLINS: And also, we have to talk about what we’re
not talking about here, what the President is surely pleased he
was not asked about there and that is Michael Cohen and the
Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which clearly, as we saw from
the President’s Twitter feed this weekend, is something that truly
consumed him in recent days. He’s really ramped up his attacks
from not uttering Robert Mueller's name before March to now he
mentioned it, I believe, multiple times in one time — in one day,
in one time period saying — alleging he has conflicts of interests
but declining to say what exactly they were. Also the question
that the President’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani couldn't answer this
morning on CNN when he was asked what exactly those conflicts
of interests that the Special Counsel — that they believes has
are. The President wasn’t asked about either one of those
reporters and, of course, there’s only so many questions you can
ask, but clearly, a subject the President is trying to avoid
questions on. You saw, last week, he was not pleased when I

 Rand’s Reveal: Paul Just Announced
His Decision On The Kavanaugh Confirmation
Kevin Daley | Supreme Court Reporter
5:30 PM 07/30/2018
GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky will support Judge Brett
Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court,
despite early misgivings about his nomination.
The senator’s support, initially in doubt, staves off a fatal
defection that could have proved disastrous to
Kavanaugh’s confirmation prospects.
In a lengthy tweet thread posted Monday morning, Paul
said he was satisfied with Kavanaugh’s legal writings in a
range of areas, despite his concerns about the judge’s
views on the National Security Agency’s (NSA) metadata
collection program. The senator specifically identified the
First and Second Amendments, separation of powers,
property rights, and agency law as topics on which
Kavanaugh “will carefully adhere to the Constitution and
will take his job to protect individual liberty seriously.”
After meeting Judge Kavanaugh and
reviewing his record, I have decided to
support his nomination. No one will ever
completely agree with a nominee (unless of
course, you are the nominee). Each
nominee however, must be judged on the
totality of their views character and
opinions.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) July
30, 2018
Speaking after Kavanaugh’s nomination, Paul said he was
dissatisfied with a short concurring opinion the judge
wrote in a 2015 case called Klayman v. Obama, a
constitutional challenge to the NSA’s collection of
metadata. Kavanaugh’s opinion argued the program was
consistent with existing Supreme Court precedent.
In his Monday tweet thread, Paul noted that the Supreme
Court’s Fourth Amendment doctrine has since developed
in an important way. In June, a five-justice majority
delivered a major victory for digital privacy, finding that
.
211
law enforcement cannot seize cellphone location data
without a warrant in a case called Carpenter v. U.S.
The ruling may implicate federal mass surveillance
programs, as it involved a traditional Fourth Amendment
rule on which such programs rely. Federal courts have
long-held that individuals have no privacy right in
information they voluntarily share with third parties like
banks or phone companies. In the June case, however, the
Supreme Court declined to extend this rule to cellphone
location information given the “seismic shifts in digital
technology.”
Since Kavanaugh’s 2015 opinion relies in significant part
on the third-party rule, Paul hopes the judge will
reconsider his views in light of the Carpenter decision.
In reviewing his record on other privacy
cases like Jones, and through my
conversation with him, I have hope that in
light of the new precedent in Carpenter v.
United States, Judge Kavanaugh will be
more open to a Fourth Amendment that
protects digital records and property.

The parallels between June’s decision and NSA bulk
surveillance are not exactly the same, however. The
agency’s metadata collection largely archives
communications records, while the June decision relates
specifically to location data cellphones generate in the
normal course of use.
With Paul’s commitment to vote for Kavanaugh, the only
members of the Republican caucus whose support for the
judge is in question are GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine
and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, two moderate, pro-choice
lawmakers who have broken with the party in recent years
on healthcare and funding for Planned Parenthood.
Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings have not yet been
scheduled, though GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa has
requested access to records the judge produced as a White
House lawyer, a key step toward setting a definitive
timeline for his nomination.
White House officials believe the judge is strongly
positioned for confirmation.
 Despite Media Hysterics Trump’s Approval Remains
Unchanged – And He Is Still 3 Points Ahead Of Obama At
Same Point In His Presidency

And this is while 90% of network media coverage has

been negative of President Trump.

Despite the continued media hysterics

over the past several months including
the meltdown after President Trump
said kind words to Vlad Putin — the US
president’s approval rating remains
unchanged since May.
And President Trump’s approval rating
is currently at 47% on Rasmussen
Reports.

Media darling Barack Obama had an approval rating of

44% on July 30, 2010.

President Trump is still 3 points ahead

of Barack Obama at a similar point in
his presidency.

 Brett Kavanaugh Has His Most
Important Meeting Yet For The Supreme Court
Kevin Daley | Supreme Court Reporter
11:01 PM 07/30/2018
Judge Brett Kavanaugh met with Democratic Sen. Joe
Manchin of West Virginia for 90 minutes Monday, his first
private interview with a Democratic lawmaker since his
nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Manchin, who is standing for re-election this November in
a state President Donald Trump won by 40 percentage
points, pressed the judge on health care, as another
challenge to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) advances
through federal courts.
“Judge Kavanaugh and I had a productive
meeting and talked about his experience,
record and a variety of issues that will
impact West Virginians, including his views
on healthcare,” Manchin said after the
interview. He noted another challenge to
the ACA is currently advancing through the
federal courts, which could imperil
insurance coverage for some 800,000 of
his constituents with pre-existing
conditions.
Kavanaugh’s record with the ACA is somewhat complex.
He was openly hostile to the law’s contraception mandate
in a 2015 decision, arguing it placed a substantial burden
on the rights of religious dissenters. However, in a 2011
opinion he declined to strike the ACA down, instead
finding that the case before him should be dismissed for
technical reasons.
In arguing for dismissal, Kavanaugh maintained that the
ACA’s individual mandate — which requires people to
obtain health insurance or pay a penalty — qualified as a
tax for purposes of a federal law called the Anti-Injunction
Act. One year later, a five-justice majority on the Supreme
Court also concluded the mandate was a tax, but on
different grounds than Kavanaugh.
218
In the 2011 decision, Kavanaugh also discussed the
possibility that the individual mandate exceeds Congress’
authority under the Constitution.
All told, the judge’s nuanced views toward the ACA may
make supporting him more palatable to red state
Democrats like Manchin.
Monday’s meeting, originally scheduled to run 30 minutes,
lasted an hour and a half.
Though Supreme Court nominees generally meet with
most senators in advance of their confirmation hearings,
Democratic lawmakers haven’t made themselves available
for Kavanaugh, in connection with their efforts to slow
progress on his nomination.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer bucked
longstanding tradition and declined to receive the judge
during his first day of his visits on Capitol Hill. By
tradition, Supreme Court nominees meet with the
leadership of both parties before meeting with rank-and-
file lawmakers.
Since Supreme Court nominations are no longer subject to
the filibuster, the Senate’s minority party has little leverage
to stop judicial confirmations. Democrats see an extended
vetting process as the only weapon at their disposal, in
hopes a grueling force will put Kavanaugh into a self-made
blunder, or identify some unnoticed impropriety in his
past.
Schumer has asked Manchin and other red state
Democrats to keep their plans respecting the confirmation
private for as long as possible.
Recent public opinion polling from West Virginia
commissioned by the Judicial Crisis Network shows
Manchin’s constituents favor Kavanaugh’s confirmation
by a wide margin — 55 percent of voters surveyed said the
judge should be confirmed to the high court, compared to
just 30 percent who oppose him. The same survey showed
West Virginia independents support the judge 59 percent
to 23 percent.
West Virginia’s other senator, GOP Sen. Shelley Moore
Capito, will vote in favor of Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
 Manafort Case Goes To Trial,
But Don’t Expect To Hear Evidence Of Collusion
Chuck Ross | Reporter
12:32 AM 07/31/2018
The much-anticipated trial of former Trump campaign
chairman Paul Manafort begins Tuesday, but observers
hoping for evidence of collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russia are likely to be disappointed.
Prosecutors working for special counsel Robert Mueller
plan to call nearly three dozen witnesses and introduce 500
pieces of evidence in an effort to show that Manafort
engaged in bank fraud and evaded taxes on income he
received for work on behalf of a Ukrainian politician.
Among the witnesses are Manafort’s accountants and Rick
Gates, a former Manafort business partner and Trump
campaign aide who accepted a plea deal with Mueller in
February. Tad Devine, the chief strategist for the Bernie
Sanders campaign, is also on the witness list. Devine
worked with Manafort on behalf of Viktor Yanukovych,
the former president of Ukraine.
But the prosecutors, led by Andrew Weissmann, a Justice
Department official who attended Hillary Clinton’s ill-
fated Election Night party, have no plans to introduce
evidence of a conspiracy between the campaign and the
Kremlin.
“The government does not intend to
present at trial evidence or argument
concerning collusion with the Russian
government,” reads a July 6 court filing,
which was submitted in federal court in
Virginia, where jury selection is scheduled
to begin in the Manafort case on Tuesday.
The focus at trial will be Manafort’s work from 2005
through 2014 for the Party of Regions, a Ukrainian
political party that was affiliated with former Ukrainian
President Viktor Yanukovych. Manafort joined the Trump
campaign in April 2016 and left in August, following
reports about his work for Yanukovych.
219
Manafort was paid $60 million for the work, but
prosecutors claim he failed to report all of the income on
his taxes. The 68-year-old political operative used offshore
companies as part of the scheme and spent lavishly on
cars, exotic rugs, fancy Italian suits and a house in the
Hamptons, Mueller’s team plans to show.
Ever since Manafort was indicted on Oct. 30, Trump
critics have held out hope that Manafort would flip on
Trump and offer evidence of collusion.
Mueller’s heavy-handed prosecutorial tactics have also
generated speculation that he was vying for a Manafort
plea deal. Mueller has fought to keep Manafort in jail
while he awaits trial while slapping him with additional
charges both in the Virginia case and in federal court in
Washington, D.C.
Manafort goes to trial there in September on charges
related to his work as an unregistered foreign agent of the
Ukrainian government.
Manafort’s team insists that the Virginia charges are an
overhyped tax case that has almost nothing to do with the
Trump campaign. Manafort’s lawyers have also questioned
the timing of the indictments, pointing out that the Justice
Department began investigating Manafort in 2014 but
declined to bring charges at the time.
Manafort’s lawyers have also noted that Weissmann,
known as Mueller’s “pit bull,” convened a meeting in
April 2017 with Associated Press reporters to discuss the
Manafort case. According to notes taken by two FBI
agents at the meeting, Weissmann and other Justice
Department officials provided the reporters with limited
guidance on the case.
The White House has claimed that Manafort has nothing
damaging to offer prosecutors on Trump. Trump lawyer
Rudy Giuliani said Monday that he knows “for a fact” that
Manafort
“has no information incriminating of the
president.”
“They can squeeze him — he doesn’t know
anything,” Giuliani said in an interview on
CNN’s “New Day.”
 Trump Thanks Rand Paul For Kavanaugh Support
Scott Morefield | Reporter
12:02 AM 07/31/2018

President Donald Trump on Monday expressed his

appreciation to Sen. Rand Paul for his promise to support
the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme
Court.

“Thank you to @RandPaul for your YES on

a future great Justice of the Supreme
Court, Brett Kavanaugh,” Trump wrote in a
Monday evening tweet. “Your vote means a
lot to me, and to everyone who loves our
Country!”

Paul’s chief concern with Kavanaugh’s selection had to do

with the judge’s opinion in a case involving the National
Security Agency’s metadata collection program.

Daily Caller News Foundation Supreme Court reporter

Kevin Daley reported:

Civil libertarians of the Paul variety are

particularly troubled by a short concurring
opinion Kavanaugh wrote in a case called
Klayman v. Obama, a challenge to the
National Security Agency’s metadata
collection program. A federal court in
Washington concluded that the program
was unconstitutional in 2015. The U.S.
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the
court on which Kavanaugh serves, stayed
that decision, allowing data collection to
continue.

However, on Monday Paul stated that he was satisfied with

the “totality” of Kavanaugh’s character and opinions. The
Kentucky senator laid out his reasoning in a series of

 MSM Whines Over 'Enemy Of The People' Label - Claims
Trump Rhetoric 'Dangerous' But Ignores How Much
Violence & Harassment Media Rhetoric Has Caused
By Susan Duclos - All News Pipeline
July 31, 2018

The level of complete blindness and intellectual dishonesty

on the part of the establishment media still manages to
astound me. Their inability to "see" that from the very
start of the Trump presidency they have deliberately done
everything in the power to terrify the nation, causing an
epidemic of "Trump Anxiety Disorder," that has led to
hundreds of examples of violence and harassment against
Trump supporters, yet now whining that President Trump's
statements about the Fake News being the "enemy of the
people," is "dangerous," and "will lead to violence."
FROM DAY ONE THE MEDIA DELIBERATELY
TERRIFIED LIBERALS
In those nearly two years, ANP and many others have
documented a significant number of actual "fake news"
stories from the establishment media about President
Trump. Many needed corrections, editors notes,
retractions, deletions and total rewriting, including title
changes, because the initial reports were completely false
and/or misleading. In one case the errors were so egregious
an ABC News anchor, Brian Ross was suspended without
pay after his fake news tanked the stock market, and in
another case three CNN employees were forced to resign.

Many have seen the flashback video below, but in order to President Trump has called them out publicly at rallies and
adequately show proof of the establishment media on his Twitter account.
deliberately and irresponsibly terrifying liberals all across
the U.S., we have to remember the immediate and very
public, on-air statements, aka meltdowns, from well
known names in the media, who are supposed to report the
"news" objectively, and high profile talk show hosts.

NEARLY TWO YEARS LATER.........

Jumping back to present day: ANP reported just days ago

that therapists across the country are seeing an epidemic of
what they call "Trump Anxiety Disorder," from their
patients. In that report we quoted multiple mental health
experts that specifically cited constant "negative media
coverage," as one of the reasons for the TAD they are Back in July 2017, long time, and former left-leaning
seeing, which they admitted was the same malady which journalist Michael Goodwin, in an outstanding article,
conservatives have dubbed "Trump Derangement discussed "why the media has broken down in the age of
Syndrome."
223
Trump," and put the majority of the blame on the New
York Times and the Washington Post, stating
"The two leading liberal newspapers were
trying to top each other in their
demonization of Trump and his supporters.
They set the tone, and most of the rest of
the media followed like lemmings."
Thus began the spate of stories, which
continues today, in which the Times
routinely calls Trump a liar in its news
pages and headlines. Again, the contrast
with the past is striking. The Times never
called Barack Obama a liar, despite such
obvious opportunities as “you can keep
your doctor” and “the Benghazi attack was
caused by an internet video.” Indeed, the
Times and the Washington Post, along with
most of the White House press corps,
spent eight years cheerleading the Obama
administration, seeing not a smidgen of
corruption or dishonesty. They have been
tougher on Hillary Clinton during her long
career. But they still never called her a liar,
despite such doozies as “I set up my own
computer server so I would only need one
device,” “I turned over all the government
emails,” and “I never sent or received
classified emails.” All those were lies, but
not to the national media. Only statements
by Trump were fair game.
As we know now, most of the media totally
missed Trump’s appeal to millions upon
millions of Americans. The prejudice
against him blinded those news
organizations to what was happening in the
country. Even more incredibly, I believe the
bias and hostility directed at Trump
backfired. The feeling that the election was,
in part, a referendum on the media gave
some voters an extra incentive to vote for
Trump. A vote for him was a vote against
the media and against Washington. Not
incidentally, Trump used that sentiment to
his advantage, often revving up his crowds
with attacks on reporters. He still does.
If I haven’t made it clear, let me do so now.
The behavior of much of the media, but
especially the New York Times, was a
disgrace. I don’t believe it ever will recover
the public trust it squandered.
Now we see that the New York Times publisher, A.G.
Sulzberger, is the latest in a long line of journalists and
media personalities whining to President Trump about his
public statements calling the "fake news media" an "enemy
224
of the people," and claiming that such rhetoric is
"dangerous," and "is contributing to a rise in threats
against journalists and will lead to violence."
“I told the president directly that I thought
that his language was not just divisive but
increasingly dangerous,” said Sulzberger,
who became publisher of The Times on
Jan. 1.
“I told him that although the phrase ‘fake
news’ is untrue and harmful, I am far more
concerned about his labeling journalists
‘the enemy of the people,'” Sulzberger
continued. “I warned that this inflammatory
language is contributing to a rise in threats
against journalists and will lead to
violence.”
Really? What about the dozens of NYT and Wapo
reporters, and network station talking heads, and CNN so-
called "journalists," etc, and their daily, sometimes hourly
"inflammatory language" and constant attacks on President
Trump, his supporters, his policies, his tweets, his
statements, his rallies, etc..?
MEDIA'S WILFULL BLINDNESS AND
INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY
Sulzberger wants to complain about the president calling
them on their fake news, their consistent negative and
hostile coverage, claiming it "will lead to violence," yet
refuses to acknowledge the media hysteria, and outright
fake news, inaccurate reporting, and general hostility
towards President Trump and his supporters since before
the election, has led to over 538 documented cases of
violence, harassment and vandalism against Trump
supporters, administration officials and conservatives
across the country. 388 of them since the 2016 presidential
election.
He wants to whine about how the President's rhetoric
against a biased and dishonest press causes "threats," that
may potentially lead to violence against journalists, when
the media's actions already has led to a significant
amount of violence, death threats against Republican
congressmen's young children, destruction of property, and
Trump supporters who have been harassed and physically
attacked in public, sometimes for doing nothing but
wearing a MAGA hat, or having a Trump flag on their
lawn?
Note- This was going to be my article on Monday, but I
truly could not wrap my head around the amount of mental
gymnastics that Sulzberger had to display to be able to
offer those quotes, while totally ignoring the fact that his
publication, along with Wapo, CNN,, and other network
news stations, have literally infected nearly half the nation
with Trump Derangement Syndrome, or to be more
politically correct, as the mental health experts call it, Friends do not attack each other, enemies
"Trump Anxiety Disorder." do. Friends do not terrorize each other,
enemies do.
Greg Gutfield discusses that in his intro segment below.
Liberals may not view the media as the enemy because the
media is now reinforcing the terror they have been
programming them to believe since before the 2016
election, but the other half of us see the media clearly for
what they are and what they have been doing.

We didn't need the President to tell us, we see it every

single day in the news' headlines, on television, and from
media pundits on social media.

If the media wants to stop being called the enemy of the

people, then they should stop acting like it.

BOTTOM LINE

Not only has the establishment media treated half the

nation, Trump supporters, as if they are the "enemy," but
they have deliberately terrorized the other half of the
nation into "fear of the world ending," which is a direct
quote from a mental health expert when describing the
patients being treated for "Trump Anxiety Disorder."

 Tucker Carlson:
Democratic Party Is ‘Unrecognizable’
Scott Morefield | Reporter
3:01 AM 07/31/2018

Fox News host Tucker Carlson used his Monday opening

segment to argue that “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
sufferers are willing to take any position, as long as it’s the
opposite of President Trump’s. “They were, as they often told you, the
party that fought McCarthyism. Now, it’s
WATCH: the party that engages in McCarthyism,
enthusiastically.”

Carlson, The Daily Caller co-founder, made the case that
Democrats are now “unrecognizable.”
“Smallpox, the bubonic plague, the Spanish
flu — those are some of the diseases that
have changed the course of history over
the last few thousand years,” Carlson said.
“Here’s a new one … Trump Derangement
Syndrome is a particularly insidious illness
because it doesn’t affect individuals but
entire entire political parties, rendering
them unrecognizable. Until about 20
minutes ago, for example, the Democrats
saw themselves as the party of reason,
resistant to superstition and mass hysteria.”
The Fox News host examined several issues, including
MS-13, calls to abolish ICE, the respectability of hard core
porn, free speech, censorship, and even taxing the rich as
examples where the left has changed positions.
“Their only remaining principal is hatred of the president,”
Carlson said. “If Trump supports something they are
against it. If he’s against it, they are huge fans, no matter
what it is.”
The derangement also extends to their respect for
politicians they previously had no respect for.
“George W. Bush embroiled America in a ruinous Middle
Eastern war,” said Tucker. “Now he gave a speech
criticizing Trump last year, so he is fully rehabilitated.”

226
 “To anyone who remembers the Democrats
of the 1960s, the ’90s or even three years
ago, it’s all very confusing. That party is
dead,” Carlson concluded. “It’s been

227
replaced by a new one whose entire
platform could be, say no to Trump. This
isn’t politics anymore; it’s the world’s
dumbest religion.”

 Billionaire Charles Koch Trashes Trump,
Says Trump Tariffs Are “Unfair To Foreigners”
By Jim Hoft
July 31, 2018, 9:20 Am
Billionaire Charles Koch attacked
President Trump this past weekend
during a conference with donors.
Koch said President Trump’s tariffs
were “unfair to foreigners.”
Trump imposed tariffs on steel and
aluminum imports to protect American
jobs. This upsets Charles Koch.
President Trump responded to the
“globalist” Koch brothers on Tuesday.
230
Breitbart.com reported:
Billionaire plutocrat and GOP mega-donor
Charles Koch says President Donald
Trump’s tariffs on aluminum, steel, and
thousands of Chinese-made imports are
“ridiculous” and “unfair” to foreigners.
Koch, who funds a network of
organizations with his brother, David Koch,
told the media during a conference with
donors over the weekend that Trump’s ten
percent tariff on imported aluminum and 25
percent tariff on imported steel was not fair
to foreign countries and foreign workers.
The Trump administration has said the tariffs on imported
goods are necessary to protect American jobs and
industries from foreign competition where foreign-made

driving U.S. companies out of business.
“This is ridiculous, we should just get rid of
all barriers except on things that will hurt
people,” Koch told the media, according to
ABC News.
“Yeah, it’s unfair. It’s unfair to their people,”
Koch claimed of the foreign countries and
foreign workers who have been hit with
Trump’s tariffs.
 Networks Notice 4.1% GDP,
But CBS Sees ‘Mirage’ In The Numbers
By Julia A. Seymour
July 31, 2018 9:42 AM EDT
After ignoring all three estimates of first quarter GDP
growth, ABC, CBS and NBC found the second quarter
estimate too good to overlook.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced on July 27,
that the economy grew by 4.1 percent in the second
quarter, the highest quarterly growth in nearly four years.
It was a strong number, but the networks were quick to
look for problems with it — especially CBS.
ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows each included a
story about the U.S. economy and latest GDP estimate on
July 27, but they weren’t exactly reveling in good
economic news. Although it did consult one optimistic
business, CBS Evening News was still downbeat, saying
“economic growth is not expected to
continue at this pace” and turning to an
economist who called it “a bit of a mirage.”
That show also spent the least time on economic growth of
the three news programs that night — just 1 minute 32
seconds.
Economist Diane Swonk attributed the latest strong growth
to U.S. soybean exports sent to China ahead of the
potential trade war, telling CBS
“that helped to add more than a percent to
overall GDP growth in the second quarter.
So some of what we’re seeing is a bit of a
mirage.”
Correspondent Vladimir Duthiers also closed the segment
pessimistically saying,
231
“But economic growth is not expected to
continue at this pace. Swonk says we’ll
probably see 3 percent at the end of the
year. Jeff, She says things like tariffs and a
sluggish housing market are a concern,
too.”
NBC Nightly News struck a more balanced tone. Tom
Costello's NBC story included a very optimistic CEO in
Chicago, but acknowledged a farmer “operating at a loss
right now” because of the trade war. They also consulted a
Nobel-winning economist concerned with “substantial
drag on the economy” that could result from a trade war.
“It’s a vibrant economy and I think people
are positive how it will turn out for them.
And it’s certainly from a small-to-medium
sized business there’s a lot of supports,”
Truss CEO Andrew Bokor told NBC.
Nightly News spent a total of 2 minutes 2 seconds on
economic growth that night.
ABC World News with David Muir not only had the
longest segment, of 2 minutes 12 seconds, but was also the
most upbeat. Chief Foreign Correspondent Terry Moran
also specifically credited Trump policies for some of the
gains.
Muir introduced the segment calling the GDP report “a
bright spot for the president and the nation.” Moran took
over from there.
“It’s the best number since 2014.
Americans are spending more, businesses
are investing more. Trump tax cuts and
massive deregulation having a positive
impact,” Moran said. He acknowledged
trade concerns saying a “closer look”
revealed some economic “shadows.”
Moran also cited farmers’ concerns, but unlike the other
two networks he suggested two possible outcomes for the
trade situation, rather than just one that devastates the
economy.
If Trump “succeeds in opening new
markets, there will be a lot more growth. He
 will have redefined how presidents do
economic policy. If however, those
retaliatory tariffs keep piling on, there will
be a lot more pain out there,” Moran said.
On Spanish language networks, Univision’s evening
newscast did not report the latest GDP estimate. Its rival,
.
Telemundo did. Telemundo’s newcast dedicated 34
seconds to U.S. economic growth, with anchor Julio
Vaqueiro opening his network's report by noting that
"here in the United States, the economy is
strengthening solidly."

 Washington Post Continues To Peddle
Fake News Russian Conspiracies… Will Facebook Ever
Flag Their Bullsh*T Content?
By Jim Hoft
July 31, 2018, 9:57 Am

Angry, unhinged Trump-basher has a

video up pushing the conspiracy that
Donald Trump would not be president
without Russia.

This guy is a clown and the Washington

Post is his clown show.

The Washington Post continues to push

BS conspiracy theories that Russia
helped President Trump win the 2016
election.
There is no proof to back up this
conspiracy, that was originally pushed
by the Clinton campaign and Obama
administration, back in 2016.
There has however been real evidence
of the Obama Deep State spying on the
Trump campaign, of Hillary Clinton and
the DNC of paying for a fake Russia
dossier, of the Deep State DOJ-FBI
withholding evidence from Congress to
protect corrupt officials, of the Deep
State FBI-DOJ running a witch hunt on
the American president, and of the
liberal media of pushing this conspiracy
of Russia collusion to the American
public.

Today was another prime example of fake news being

pushed by the Washington Post conspiracy website.

 Stephanopoulos Hopes Manafort
Money Laundering Trial Reveals Trump Collusion
By Kristine Marsh
July 31, 2018 10:27 AM EDT
On Tuesday’s Good Morning America, ABC anchor
George Stephanopoulos couldn’t hide his desire that
President Trump would be implicated in the new Paul
Manafort trial. Even though the charges against Manafort
are completely unrelated to the Russia collusion
investigation, Stephanopoulos kept suggesting that Trump
could be impacted negatively by the trial.
Reporter Kyra Phillips shared the news that broke
overnight, that the trial for former Trump campaign
chairman Paul Manafort was beginning Tuesday. After
raiding his home last year, Mueller has charged Manafort
with multiple counts of financial crimes including money
laundering and tax evasion.
However, ABC skipped one crucial detail to the case:
All of this happened before Manafort
was Trump’s campaign chairman.
Phillips did note that the business dealings were unrelated
to the Russia investigation, but ended her report by
suggesting foul play, saying that the president might bail
out his former adviser:
But for President Trump's former
campaign chairman Paul Manafort, this
trial has nothing to do with Russia.
At least for now.
Manafort is facing 18 counts of financial crimes,
allegations that he laundered at least $60 million from
consulting work on behalf of pro-Russian/
Ukrainian politicians and funneling the funds through
offshore bank accounts and in turn living a lavish lifestyle
234
fit for a king, luxury car, beach front properties and
shopping sprees at the house of bijon, one of the most
exclusive showrooms for men's fashion.
What jurors will hear prosecutors
making their case for tax and bank
fraud. What they probably won't hear, if
Manafort has any knowledge about the
Trump campaign allegedly coordinating
with Russia during the 2016 presidential
election.
Now, just to add to the intrigue Paul Manafort is the only
American charged that has opted for a trial instead of
cooperating with investigators and if convicted he could
spend the rest of his life in jail and it raises the question,
George,
does he believe he did nothing wrong,
or could he be holding out for a
presidential pardon?
Afterwards, Stephanopoulos continued the speculation in a
discussion with ABC contributor Chris Christie. The
anchor eagerly wondered why the court would leave
Trump out of the trial:
“Put on the prosecutor's hat for a
second. Why are they so focused on not
saying the name Trump?” he asked
Christie.
Christie emphasized that since the trial was about
Manafort’s business dealings, it was a “smart strategy” for
the prosecution to leave politics out of it. But
Stephanopoulos kept insisting Trump could be implicated
as part of the Russia collusion investigation.
“Even though they don't name Trump,
the stakes are very, very high for both
the prosecutors and the president,” he
pressed.
“ Oh, absolutely,” Christie agreed, before
suggesting that this trial would be crucial to
Mueller’s case against Trump:
“Listen, when you're a prosecutor, you
know, we used to say all the time if you're
going to try to kill the king make sure
he's dead and the fact is this case is going
to be very important to establish credibility
for Bob Mueller,” he emphasized, before
adding that it would be a colossal failure if
Mueller failed to do so.
“If he were to lose this case it would be an
extraordinary --” Christie began before
Stephanopoulos dismissed the idea.
“It looks like a strong case,”
Stephanopoulos insisted.
He then argued repeatedly that Trump’s lawyer Rudy
Giuliani was “moving the goalpost” of what Trump could
be found guilty of in relation to the Russia investigation:
Meanwhile the president's lawyer Rudy
Giuliani seems to be shifting the
goalpost on the Russia investigation,
you know, for the longest time the
Trump campaign said there was no
contact with Russia. We now know there
were 80 something contacts. Now we
hear no collusion. That was the mantra
.
235
of the president for a long time. Now
Rudy Giuliani is out there is saying
collusion is not a crime. It appears to be
moving the goal pose. But aiding and
abetting a crime, is a felony, is a crime.
Christie denied they were moving the target, saying that
they were simply pointing out the alternative. He added
that the media needed to “take a deep breath” and stop
bringing politics into it:
He's saying the president didn't collude but
even if he did collusion it self it's not a
crime. A conspiracy, as they’ve charged in
other cases, to defraud the United States is
certainly a crime. But they're so far away
from that. Over the weekend saying, you
know, you look at what's gone on with the
Michael Cohen situation, no one from
Cohen's camp has taken credit for anything
that's leaked. They're not taking any credit
for it, they’re not taking any responsibility
for it either. So we don't know if Cohen was
at a meeting, really heard what was
rumored to have been heard and tagged it
on the president so, again, this is -- it's the
prosecutor's hat, not the politician's hat,
George. We got to take a deep breath.
But Stephanopoulos wouldn’t let it go, suggesting that the
Trump Tower meeting might be the way Trump gets
implicated in the Cohen tape:
“If the president did know about that
meeting and subsequently called on
Russia to send over emails, that would
be a problem for him,” he claimed to end
the segment.
 A Group Of Top Government Spooks & Hackers On The
FBI’s Payroll Just Tore Mueller’s Russian Indictments To
Shreds; “Piles” Of Fabricated Evidence Detailed Here
By Investigative Bureau
Posted On July 31, 2018
We asked a number of government spooks and hackers and
contractors who have worked for the FBI and other spooky
federal agencies to examine Robert Mueller’s latest
indictments of 12 alleged Russian “operatives.”
Their conclusion? HOAX. Mueller’s team
fabricated evidence.
And a whole lot of evidence.
What kind of evidence? It’s all right here. Whether you
understand IT or not, the evidence Mueller claims points to
Russia actually also points to India, Pakistan and of course
China. Funny though, Mueller never mentions that in his
indictment.
Wonder why?
President Trump has called it a witch hunt. And a number
of spooks now are backing that claim. The evidence in
Mueller’s indictment DOES NOT check our. Any defense
attorney will have a field day with this. If they even care to
counter the charges since the defendants are in Russia.
Here is a collective breakdown we orchestrated and pieced
together proving Mueller’s case is a fabricated hoax.
****Circling the wagons around the Russian HOAX****
In Mueller’s July 13, 2018 Indictment he lists
Organization 1, which from here on out we’re going to
assume is Crowdstrike.
CrowdStrike is the private 3rd party company that the DNC
hired after multiple warnings by FBI that their systems
were compromised.
236
CrowdStrike is the company that did the analysis on the
servers. The same servers that the DNC wouldn’t give to
the FBI for independent analysis.
CrowdStrike eventually gave the FBI a “system image”,
which Comey, for some odd reason, deemed acceptable.
 Windows uses BIOS/EFI for standard system imaging,
which is not a forensic backup. BIOS doesn’t allow
corrupted information to be saved for recovery.
 Forensic imaging of a hard drive is obtained by using a
separate set of controls that bypass safety protocols
that BIOS would use during imaging.
Simply put, the system image obtained though BIOS is
wholly unacceptable for forensic analysis and would not
be considered for analysis, nor would adhere to proper
traceability of the original state of the system during the
“hacks.”
President of CrowdStrike Services & CSO was and still is
Shawn Henry.
 September 15, 2010 FBI Director Robert S. Mueller,
III named Shawn Henry Executive Assistant
Director of the the FBI’s Criminal, Cyber,
Response, and Services Branch (CCRSB).
 March 2012, Shawn Henry named President of
CrowdStrike Services & CSO.
 Bloomberg has Shawn Henry listed on the Board of
Directors of SignatureLink, Inc. with his “Primary
Company” listed as the FBI.
CrowdStrike didn’t only make headlines on the DNC hack,
they also came out with a report on December 22, 2016
called “Danger Close.” where they allege Russian’s
hacked Ukrainian military android phones that used a D-30
howitzer application for targeting, using Fancy Bear X-
Agent; one of the same tools they also reported being used
in the DNC, DCCC ‘hacks.’
Needless to say, they did a major rewrite after the
Ukrainian Defense Minister called them on their BS
analysis and report. VOA shows the HUGE walkback of
shame from CrowdStrike.
 NOTE: When a cyber tool is used, it NO
LONGER can be attributed to whoever
claims development of it. Once it’s out, it’s
out and ANYONE can do what they want
with it, so attributing all attacks using X-
Agent to “Fancy Bear” from Russia does
not make any sense.
NOTE: X-Agent first showed up on the
scene in 2012 targeting Windows. In 2014
a Linux variant came out. In 2015 a variant
for Apple iOS and later Android, and in
2016 X-Agent was found on DNC
servers.
Mueller claims, or rather CrowdStrike (aka Comapany 1)
that X-Agent was used to communicate with GRU-
registered linuxkrnl[.]net domain.
Many ran a basic “whois” on that domain and came up
with an Amazon server in Ashburn, VA with IP
52.45.178.122. It took some extra steps and came up with
the below.
 Profiling linuxkrnl[.]net returns 3 profiles
1. linuxkrnl[.]net
2. linuxkrnl[.]net.tumblr[.]com (username = linuxkrnl[.]net,
url = tumblr[.]com)
All of the nameservers at “DUMMY[.]com” resolve back
to Amazon Technologies Inc. in Dublin, Ireland. See (*) in
first graph.
237
3. mail.linuxkrnl[.]net
 When performing initial DNS history for linuxkrnl[.]net
with multiple historical data loggers we get:
Tracking nameserver information, well, the information
we could get outside of what Amazon wiped out (possibly
directed to do so), we find ns1.carbon2u[.]com &
ns2.carbon2u[.]com, ns1.hostkey.ru & ss.hostkey.ru
associated with domain linuxkrnl[.]net.
Would you be surprised that there are over 500 domains
that have been registered within the “zone file” that
ns#.carbon2u[.]com is attributed to, where the majority
have a Mail Exchange (MX) in Malaysia, AND used
HOSTKEY-NET (Mueller’s indictment states “GRU” used
MX in Malaysia), including linuxkrnl[.]net? Many of these
domains go back as far as 2011, some before that.
 When cross-referencing the above DNS History chart
with ns#carbon2u[.]com we pick up some more info:
NOTE: When it comes to “first seen” & “last seen” dates,
multiple databases need to be checked. The logging times
fluctuate from one to the other and depend on the time
zone too.
 ns#.carbon2u[.]com = carbon2u[.]com.
(associated with APT28/Fancy Bear) See DNS
History trace below:
Note: domain carbon2u[.]com is registered with Internet
Domain Service BS (internet[.]bs), a Bahamas based
domain registrar, who is owned by CentralNic out
of London since 2014.
*Mail Exchange (MX): 91.218.247.100

anemone12.steeldns[.]com.
 DNS server records for steeldns[.]com (Shinjiru

 Reverse DNS on above IP’s

ns2.steeldns[.]com 111.90.144.253
prawn23.ip-asia[.]com 111.90.144.132
 All resolve to Malaysia and all have the owner
Shinjiru Technology within our target time frame.
 linux[krnl[.]net domain on IP 52.45.178.122 shows
as first seen July 15, 2018, so this can be mostly
discarded as it’s not a target within our time frame.
linuxkrnl[.]net.tumblr[.]com (first post March 20, 2018)
belongs to an Indian programmer. Basic steganalysis on a
few posted images doesn’t seem to show *obvious*
embedded malicious code, but there are inconsistent binary
strings in some jpg images, which could be due to many
things. Since the first post was this year, we didn’t bother
going any further.
NOTE: X-Agent first showed up on the
scene in 2012 targeting Windows. In 2014
a Linux variant came out. In 2015 a variant
for Apple iOS and later Android, and in
2016 X-Agent was found on DNC servers.
X-Agent, at this point, cannot be attributed
to the original developer.
No one knows who Guccifer 2.0 is. No one knows who
APT28 players are, but by golly Mueller and Crowdstrike
sure seemed to hobble some sh*t together and crack the
case by pointing it at 500+ domains registered, most
proxies, with netblocks in Russia, attributed to IP’s that all
host malicious sites and links, predominately for phishing,
and grab that one little linuxkrnl[.]net out of the bunch and
say it’s Russian military intelligence. Sounds good,
anyway …right …
Hell, they even know what computers were used!
Amazing! if the perps didn’t know how to spoof their user
Note: anemone is a flower genus, aka buttercups. Also it’s

agent(s), utilize a virtual machine on their host system in
conjunction with a VPN or proxy chains, which renders 2
different IP’s (or more if they’re dynamic or rotating), and
allows the user to use MULTIPLE operating systems on
the host computer. But whatever. That’s just standard.
The output is only as good as the input, and Crowdstrike
has junk input in their analysis. Remember what they did
to the Ukraine with their “Danger Close” “analysis?”
There’s plenty more data that can be hashed out but it’s
outside of this scope.
This could just as well be connected to the Steele-Fusion
GPS dossier operation, or Chinese APT, Indian APT,
Pakistani APT, you name it. You think Russia is special
when it comes to espionage and cyber attacks in the U.S?
Ha, take a look at China.
Guccifer 2 used a cracked version of Microsoft Office
Suite from “Grizzli777”, likely on a Windows 7 virtual
machine setup. 1000’s of cyber criminals & freeloaders
alike, from different continents use the exact same setup
using the well known Grizzli777’s pirated software. See,
this whole thing is a witch hunt and a hoax, and the 3rd
party analysts exclusively used to tout the 17 intel agencies
theme, who solely relied on these DNC “for hire” private
companies “analyses” are lacking in their sophistication.
DNS can be spoofed, masked, or encrypted. Caching can
be set up locally instead of at the ISP. User agent can be
changed. MAC address can be spoofed or temporarily
changed. IP’s are *rarely* used for tracking, it’s the DNS
that matters and as stated, all of that can be pointed
wherever the attacker wants, ESPECIALLY if you own
the servers like the GRU would. Why transfer over the
transoceanic cables anyway!?! Answer, you wouldn’t
unless you’re just a low level cyber criminal group.
Where’s the NSA on this?
Yeah, exactly. They don’t want to be linked to this hoax or
prop it up.
So they are keeping quiet.
Too late now.

 NBC's Chuck Todd, Dilanian Trash
Daily Caller as Russian-Owned Pet, 'Troll Farm'
By Tim Graham
July 31, 2018 11:39 AM EDT

First, Dilanian tweeted

"Prediction:
The president's pet media organizations
and reporters will profess shock, and the
rest of us will keep focused on the crucial
question of whether the Trump campaign
conspired with a foreign attack on our
democracy."

Dear Ken:
Twitchy caught NBC News personnel getting very snarky
about the Daily Caller asking a question in the White go look at a picture of Brian Williams
House press conference. National security reporter Ken bowing to Obama and listen to audio of
Dilanian mocked them as like the Russian government- Chris Matthews saying "thrill up my leg"
owned "Sputnik" news agency, and Chuck Todd compared before you start getting cocky about a
them to a "troll farm." "president's pet media organizations."

Then came the telling exchange:

239
David Henry replied to Todd with the conservative take:
TRANSLATION: I sorely miss the good ol'
days when the legacy media were the
gatekeepers of information. Any way we
could go back to those days?
When the legacy media is referred to as "elitists," this is
why.
Amber Athey at the Caller aimed right at the silly
"mainstream" types who demanded "unity" in the media on
behalf of Kaitlan Collins (formerly of the Caller) when
Team Trump disinvited her (but not CNN as a whole) from
an event for being rude:
Well, those calls for "solidarity" in the press
corps fell apart pretty quickly.
@DailyCaller's @esaagar asked relevant
and important questions of Trump today,
but that's enough for the establishment
media. They're bitter that he got called on
at all.
Saagar Enjeti asked a very straightforward and objective
question:
240
"To follow up on what you were saying
about the shut down, sir, Are you saying
that you would be willing to shut the down
in September if it does not fully fund $25
billion worth of your border wall and also
deliver all of the immigration priorities that
you listed in your tweet? Or leaving some
room for negotiation there?"
That was no Jeff Zeleny asking Trump what enchanted
him about being president.
Anyone remember Chuck Todd making an ad comparing
himself to a no-nonsense basketball referee ready to blow
the whistle to enforce some rules on politics?
Instapundit was kind enough to remind people that we
reported Chuck Todd might want to be careful with
"compromised" analogies, when his wife Kristian Denny
Todd's firm brought in $2 million from Bernie Sanders in
the last election cycle, and Todd doesn't mention it when
Sanders comes on.
PS:
Enjeti mocked another left-winger attacking
the Caller as a "white supremacist" site:
 JUDICIAL WATCH: New FBI Emails Reveal
Peter Strzok Insisted On Retaining Declassification And
Special Authorities For Mueller Assignment
By Cristina Laila
July 31, 2018, 12:20 Pm
Peter Strzok
Judicial Watch obtained 14 pages of FBI
documents revealing Peter Strzok
requested he retain his declassification
and other authorities after he was
reassigned to Special Counsel Mueller’s
team to investigate Trump-Russia
collusion.
This is further proof the migration of people from Hillary’s
sham investigation to the ‘get Trump’ Mueller
investigation was designed to give Mueller special
authorities to target Trump.
Via Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch today released 14 pages of
FBI documents concerning the assignment
of former FBI Deputy Assistant Director
Peter Strzok to Special Counsel Robert
Mueller’s operation, showing that Strzok
insisted on retaining his FBI security
clearance before moving to the Mueller
team and confirming that Strzok played a
pivotal role in the flawed Hillary Clinton
email investigation.
A series of emails reveal Strzok’s
insistence that he retain all the authorities
he held as a deputy assistant director
(DAD) in the counterintelligence division
(CD), including his security clearance, after
his reassignment to the special counsel’s
office. In a July 13, 2017 email to
numerous FBI officials, some of whom are
redacted, Strzok says:
241
Broadly, I need to be able to act at least in the capacity of
my old CD DAD job – approve NSLs [national security
letters], conduct [redacted] declassify information,
[redacted] agent travel, requisitions, etc. Of those, the
most problematic and one of the most essential is
declassification authority.
In response, FBI assistant director of the
Counterintelligence Division William Priestap assures
Strzok he will remain free to act just as he did while a
deputy assistant director of the counterintelligence division
and, further, that he will remain on the FBI’s books as a
“floating DAD:”
In answer to your initial question, while
assigned to the Special Counsel’s office,
you will retain your CD DAD authorities, to
include declassification authority.
Since you will take your non-transferrable declassification
authority with you, CD will work to obtain another
declassification authority slot for the DAD who is chosen
to replace you.
Assuming the 7th floor approves, you will remain on CD’s
books as a fourth (floating) DAD. When you move on
from your DAD position, your DAD slot will revert back
to HRD.
President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton had this to say
about the new Strzok emails:
“These new emails show anti-Trump FBI
official Peter Strzok’s ‘assignment’ gave the
Mueller Special Counsel operation special
authorities to target President Trump. We
know Strzok can’t be trusted and the
Special Counsel should tell us if Strzok
abused his special authorities to target
President Trump.”
Peter Strzok was removed from the Mueller investigation
in the summer of 2017 after Inspector General Michael
Horowitz discovered a series of anti-Trump text messages
he exchanged with his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
It was revealed Peter Strzok still has his top security Oversight and House Judiciary Committees a couple
clearance during his public testimony before joint House weeks ago.

 Senate Democrats Escalate
Battle To Stall Kavanaugh Confirmation
By Cristina Laila
July 31, 2018, 2:03 Pm
Senate Democrats are escalating their
battle to delay Brett Kavanaugh’s
confirmation to the Supreme Court.
The Dems are requesting a long paper trail of Kavanaugh’s
work going back to the Bush Administration.
On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-
NY) even taunted Republican Senators pushing back on
the ridiculous requests, asking,
“What are they hiding?”
Senate Republicans argue that Schumer and other Dems
have already decided they are going to oppose Kavanaugh
so this is just another stall tactic.
The Hill reported:
“The Senate must have the records
spanning Judge Kavanaugh’s career as a
public servant, including his time as staff
secretary for the Bush administration,”
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer
(D-N.Y.) told reporters during a press
conference on Tuesday.
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee
separately sent a letter to the National
Archives requesting all paperwork from
Kavanaugh’s time working in the Bush
White House.
.
244
“We ask that you provide documents to the
Senate Judiciary Committee in connection
with President Trump’s nomination of Brett
M. Kavanaugh to be associate justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States,”
the Democratic senators wrote.
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, led by Sen.
Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), are requesting documents tied
to Kavanaugh’s work as both a White House lawyer and
staff secretary, including any emails sent and received by
Kavanaugh.
Brett Kavanaugh already returned a 110-
page questionnaire along with
thousands of pages of documents to the
Senate Judiciary Committee a week and
a half ago.
Kavanaugh previously served 12 years on the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit which means he is vetted,
however, the Democrats are still trying to delay his
confirmation using several different strategies.
Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) previously asked Trump’s
SCOTUS nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, to recuse
himself from any cases related to Mueller’s Special
Counsel witch hunt.
Last week, it was reported Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer (D-NY) and other Dems were also stalling their
meetings with Kavanaugh in an effort to delay his
confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Also, in an unusual request, Deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein asked federal prosecutors to help review
documents of Kavanaugh.
Dirty Rosenstein and the Democrats know President
Trump can take Mueller all the way up to the Supreme
Court so they are doing everything they can to delay
Kavanaugh’s confirmation to prevent Trump from
cementing a conservative majority which would ultimately
squash the Russia witch hunt.
 President Trump Approval Rating
Is 4 POINTS HIGHER Than Media Darling Obama
At Same Point In His Presidency
By Jim Hoft
July 31, 2018, 2:53 Pm

Despite the continued media hysterics

over the past several months including
the meltdown after President Trump
said kind words to Vlad Putin — the US
president’s approval rating remains
unchanged since May.
And President Trump’s approval rating
is currently at 48% on Rasmussen
Reports.

Media darling Barack Obama had an approval rating of

44% on July 31, 2010.

President Trump is still 4 points ahead

of Barack Obama at a similar point in
his presidency.

And this is while 90% of network media coverage has

been negative of President Trump.

 FBI Launched Investigation
Two Years Ago — Still No Collusion Found
Kristina Wong
31 Jul 2018
It has been two full years since the FBI
formally launched its investigation into
the Trump campaign on July 31, 2016,
but it has yet to find any evidence of
collusion with Russia.
The collusion theory was first floated in the media by
Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook, on July
24, 2016, two days after hacked Democratic National
Committee emails had been released on the eve of the
DNC convention.
Mook told CNN’s Jake Tapper to look at the Republican
National Committee’s platform on assisting Ukraine,
Trump’s comments on NATO, and the hacking.
“I think when you put all this together, it’s a
disturbing picture, and voters need to
reflect on that,” he said. He repeated that
suggestion to ABC News’s George
Stephanopoulos.
Seven days later, the FBI’s No. 2 counterintelligence
official Peter Strzok formally launched the Bureau’s
investigation into the Trump campaign, on July 31, 2016.
Two years and the launch of a special counsel later, there
has been no evidence of any collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russia.
246
Collusion theorists often point to the number of
indictments Special Council Robert Mueller has issued so
far – against former campaign aides Paul Manafort, Rick
Gates, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and Russians
who ran disinformation campaigns or hacking operations.
However, none of the indictments have anything to do
with collusion or conspiracy between the campaign and
Russia.
A CNN story on Monday acknowledged, 19 paragraphs in,
“There has been no publicly available
evidence that Trump or his subordinates
knowingly conspired with a Russian effort
to help him win power in 2016.”
Democrats have pushed a theory of “collusion in plain
sight,” where Russia dangled offers of dirt to see if the
campaign was receptive, the Trump campaign responded
favorably, thereby implicitly colluding.
They have argued that Trump Jr.’s acceptance of the
meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian lobbyist on that
premise is collusion. However, the meeting produced no
dirt, and centered instead on repealing the Magnitsky Act,
which would pave the way for Americans to be allowed to
adopt Russian children again.
Collusion theorists salivated when Rudy Giuliani revealed
Monday that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has
claimed there was a pre-planning meeting to discuss the
Trump Tower meeting. However, Giuliani said Trump did
not know about or participate in it, and he only revealed
the meeting to preemptively bat down a potential New
York Times story about it.
Collusion theorists have also pointed to Trump adviser
Roger Stone’s private Twitter messages with Guccifer 2.0
in August 2016 and with Wikileaks in October 2016, sites
that published stolen Democratic emails. Stone has
released those private messages, which show minimal
communication and that he did not have an established
relationship with either.
They also point to George Papadopoulos’s May meeting
with Joseph Mifsud, an elusive Maltese professor who
allegedly told the young campaign adviser in March 2016
that Russia had emails embarrassing to Clinton.
Papadopoulos does not appear to have ever passed on that
information to the campaign.
The dossier claimed that Carter Page met with two senior
Russian officials, but he has denied it under oath, and there
is no evidence of that actually occurring.
Mook and others have claimed that the Trump campaign
had weakened the Republican Party platform on Ukraine,
but the Washington Examiner‘s Byron York has debunked
that claim and showed that the platform on Ukraine was
actually strengthened.
Some point to Trump’s public call for Russia to find
Clinton’s 30,000 emails she deleted, but Trump has said
that was a joke. No such Clinton emails have ever been
produced.
And as Giuliani has begun accurately pointing out
recently, even if there were “collusion,” it would not be a
crime.
Their hopes have come down to Mueller finding some kind
of crime.
Some Republican lawmakers believe Mueller is trying to
lay the groundwork to indict someone for conspiracy.
“I think Mueller is very competitive — I
don’t think he likes to lose, I think he’s very
cognizant of his own image in the legal
community,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told
Breitbart News in an interview earlier this
month.
“I think that Mueller’s plan is to have these
ghost indictments of the Russians, and
then build upon that a conspiracy case
against Americans. I think this is like a
foundational document so that he can later
bring conspiracy charges, because he has
to establish the underlying criminal act
before he can establish the conspiracy,” he
said.
247
But, he added,
“If the smoking gun on collusion is Roger
Stone telling Guccifer 2.0 that the data
Guccifer showed him was ‘standard’ — I
think it falls well short of collusive activity.”
What has been uncovered over the past two years,
however, is evidence the Clinton campaign worked with a
former British spy to collect dirt from the Russians on
Trump.
The House Intelligence Committee revealed that the
Clinton campaign and the DNC, through their law firm
Perkins Coie, hired Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump
and any ties to Russia. Fusion GPS would hire ex-British
spy Christopher Steele, who would rely on Russian sources
to produce what would become the “dossier.”
The House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees have
also discovered that the dossier would be shopped to the
FBI, Justice Department, intelligence community, State
Department, Democratic members of Congress, and
members of the media – including some who wrote stories
just days before the election.
The FBI has still not come clean on when it surreptitiously
began using government informants to reach out to
members of the Trump campaign. Stefan Halper, a
Cambridge University professor with ties to the CIA and
the FBI, reached out to a Trump campaign adviser as early
as June 2016 to invite him to a conference at Cambridge.
That was much earlier than when law enforcement
officials said their investigation on the Trump campaign
began. They told the New York Times that the investigation
began after the DNC email release on July 22, 2016, after
an Australian diplomat went to the U.S. to disclose his
conversation with Papadopoulos about what Mifsud had
mentioned to him.
GOP members of Congress have subpoenaed the FBI and
DOJ for information on the informants, but have faced
resistance ever since they began investigating potential
government misconduct last summer. They believe law
enforcement officials are trying to stall until the midterm
elections in hopes Democrats will win the House, and the
requests for information will not have to be fulfilled.

 Manafort Prosecutors Order Witnesses
Not To Mention 'Donald Trump' By Name
Lawyers Want To Keep The Focus On Manafort's Excesses
And Not His Ties To The President.
Byemily Zanotti
July 31, 2018
Although Paul Manafort is arguably the biggest-named
fish nabbed in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's year-long
investigation into whether Russian officials colluded with
the Trump campaign to influence the 2016 presidential
election, prosecutors in Manafort's trial, which starts
Tuesday, have ordered witnesses not to mention the
president by name.
Mueller's team is bringing the case against Manafort, but
attorneys want to focus the jury on Manafort's reported
excesses, his alleged ties to Ukrainian government
officials, and the crimes for which Manafort was really
indicted — tax evasion and bank fraud — and not his
campaign activities, ABC News reports.
251
Prosecutors also fear that potential jurors might be
prejudiced by Manafort's Trump affiliations. The trial is
taking place in a heavily Democratic district, and attorneys
don't want Manafort claiming that he was denied a fair trial
because jurors see their vote as a way to "resist" President
Donald Trump through Paul Manafort.
"The defense doesn’t want to be prejudiced
by association with Trump," one expert told
ABC News. "With a northern Virginia jury,
they know they may not be kindly disposed
to the president."
The "Trump restriction" is granular and absolute: one
witness was even reportedly told not to mention that
Manafort has a residence in New York City lest jurors
connect him to Trump Tower. Other instructions forbid
witnesses from using the words "Russia" and "collusion,"
since Manafort's trial has little to no connection to the
central theme of Mueller's investigation.
Instead, prosecutors hope to focus jurors on Manafort's
business dealings, most of which date from well before the
Trump campaign.
Jury selection begins Tuesday. Lawyers hope to begin the
trial officially by the end of this week.
 WAYNE ALLYN ROOT:
Everyone Hates Trump
By Assistant Editor
July 31, 2018, 5:40 Pm
What a two-week period for President Donald J. Trump.
They’re all rooting against him, thereby (by default)
hoping America and the US economy and middle class
jobs either fail, or fall short. And it’s not just Democrats.
It’s virtually everyone in power, in government, in the
establishment.
Economists are rooting for Trump to fail. Democrats are
rooting for Trump to fail. Ivy League eggheads are rooting
for Trump to fail. The media is rooting for Trump to fail.
Hollywood celebrities (like Bill Maher) are rooting for
Trump (and the economy) to fail.
The Deep State is rooting for Trump to fail (and be
impeached). The whole DC Swamp- including the GOP
establishment (think John McCain and Paul Ryan) are
rooting for Trump to fail.
The entire welfare industrial complex- meaning anyone
and everyone among the 110 million Americans on some
form of welfare or government handout- is rooting for
Trump to fail.
Everyone in the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fan club- ie
those who hate America, hate capitalism and want
everything for free:
Free college. Free Medicaid for all.
Universal income (free welfare checks for
everyone). Free abortions for all. Abolish
ICE- meaning open borders and a free ride
for every illegal alien. I call it EIM – the
“Embrace Insanity Movement.” They’re all
rooting for Trump to fail.
252
But a funny thing is happening, even though everyone
seems to hate Trump…
They don’t.
In the midst of all this hate (which is all the
liberal-biased mainstream media shows
us)…Trump’s popularity is expanding and
exploding upward!
First the NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll came out this week.
Trump’s approval is the highest of his presidency. Among
members of his own party,
it’s the 2nd highest in history.
Trump beats Reagan, Obama, JFK and Bill
Clinton among voters from their own party.
Then the Gallop Poll came out. Same
result. Trump’s highest approval ever.
Then the American Barometer poll by HarrisX came out.
Same result. Trump’s highest approval ever.
All of these polls came out AFTER the Helsinki Summit.
After hysterical screaming headlines like “IS TRUMP A
TRAITOR?”
After a nonstop media blitz about Michael Cohen’s tape
recordings of Trump supposed misdeeds.
After images of children separated from illegal alien
mothers and comparing Trump’s border policy to Nazis.
After liberal pundits by the hundreds panned Trump’s
Russia performance and called for impeachment.
In the aftermath of all that, the highest approval ever for
Trump.
And only then did the great news come rolling in. Trump
beat NATO. They capitulated and agreed to spend $33
billion more. Trump beat the EU- they capitulated and
agreed to massive concessions on soybeans, energy and
tariffs. Trump beat North Korea- Kim Jung un turned over
the remains of 55 U.S. heroes missing since the Korean
War.
Trump is on his way to a Nobel Peace Prize.
And then the best news of all. 4.1% GDP.
The fastest economic growth in years. The
2nd highest since 2003. The Trump
economy is in overdrive. And we’re just
getting started.
My economic guru buddies who are rarely wrong have
reviewed the full GDP report. They tell me it will almost
certainly be revised upward to 4.5%.
And they say signs in the report point to another 4% GDP
for the 3rd quarter. At that point, we are in a HISTORIC
Reagan-like economic turnaround.
And here’s one detail you’ll never hear on the evening
news.
253
As of Friday, 246 of 500 S&P companies
have reported earnings with what can only
be called “stunning” results. 86% of
companies reporting have beaten Wall
Street estimates, with average EPS growth
of 27.1%.
Can you imagine what’s about to happen to Trump’s
approval after all this great news is absorbed!
Yes, everyone hates Trump- except the
American people who work for a living and
love this country.
Turn off the fake news at low-rated CNN. There is no
“Blue Storm.” The Silent Majority loves and appreciates
Trump.
That’s why a Trump Red Wave” is coming.

 JUDGE ELLIS Interrupts Mueller Prosecutors
During Opening Statement In Manafort Case:
“It Isn’t A Crime To Have Money”
By Cristina Laila
July 31, 2018, 5:45 Pm

CNN reported:

Prosecutors accused former Trump

campaign chairman Paul Manafort of being
a “shrewd” liar who orchestrated a global
scheme to avoid paying taxes on millions of
dollars, in opening statements that kicked
off Manafort’s trial on Tuesday.

Manafort lived an “extravagant lifestyle”

The bank fraud and tax evasion trial for
President Trump’s former campaign
chair Paul Manafort began Tuesday
morning in a federal court in Alexandria,
VA.
Mueller’s prosecutors and Manafort’s legal team both
came out swinging with blistering opening statements.
Paul Manafort’s lawyer set the tone early Tuesday
morning when he told CBS reporter, Paula Reid:
No deal. Manafort attorney Kevin
Downing tells me “No chance!” his
client will cooperate with Special
Counsel in order to avoid trial today.
fueled by millions of dollars in “secret
income” that he earned from his lobbying in
Ukraine, said Uzo Asonye, a prosecutor
working on the case with special counsel
Robert Mueller’s team. Manafort became
wealthy from the “cash spigot” that came
from working for his “golden goose in
Ukraine,” former President Viktor
Yanukovych, Asonye said.
“All of these charges boil down to one
simple issue: that Paul Manafort lied,”
Asonye said. “Manafort placed himself and
his money over the law.”
Manafort’s lawyers shot back at
Mueller’s prosecutors by blaming
Manafort’s associate Rick Gates, who
previously pleaded guilty and agreed to
cooperate with Mueller.

Manafort’s lawyer Zehnle went for it and specifically

attacked Rick Gates and called him

“the prosecution’s star witness.”

“This is the way that they required it to be
done,” Zehnle said, arguing why oligarchs
Mueller’s prosecutors skewered paid Manafort through secret foreign

and make sure things were done right.” Gates pleaded
guilty earlier this year to participating in Manafort’s
255
alleged financial conspiracy and is slated to testify against
him.
Mueller’s hack lawyers are focusing on
Manafort’s lavish lifestyle.
At one point Judge Ellis scolded
Mueller’s prosecutor, Asonye, who told
jurors that Manafort owned several
homes, acquired real estate in New York
and Virginia, bought expensive cars and
watches, and even got a $15,000 jacket
“made from an ostrich.”
CNN reported.
As he started delivering his opening statement, Asonye
earned a near-immediate rebuke from Judge T.S. Ellis,
who told him not to tell jurors that “the evidence will
show” that the allegations against Manafort are true.
.
256
During his preliminary instructions to the jury, Ellis
reminded told jurors that
“you and you alone are the sole judges to
the facts in this case.”
12 jurors were selected Tuesday
morning. There are 6 male jurors and 6
female jurors, 8 of whom are white.
Five witnesses were granted immunity by Judge T.S. Ellis
last week; their names were subsequently released to the
public.
Manafort faces a maximum of 305 years in prison if he is
convicted on all charges.
The Podesta Group, the now defunct lobbying firm ran by
John Podesta’s brother, Tony Podesta, was lobbying a pro-
Kremlin Ukrainian political front yet was never issued an
indictment from Mueller even though they failed to
register as a foreign agent.
Tony Podesta was given immunity in the DC case where
Manafort is being charged for failing to file a FARA form
for his Ukrainian lobbying efforts. This is further proof
Manafort is being hunted down like an animal by Mueller
purely because of his association with Donald Trump.

 Mueller Refers Foreign Agent Inquiries
Involving Tony Podesta, Others To NY Special
Prosecutors… But Does It Mean Anything?
By Cristina Laila
July 31, 2018, 6:38 Pm
Robert Mueller has referred several
cases to New York federal prosecutors
to probe a few American lobbyists,
including Tony Podesta, for failing to
properly file as foreign agents.
This is merely a ploy to make it look like Robert Mueller
is ‘bipartisan,’ and to boost Podesta’s testimony being that
he has already been immunized in Manafort’s DC case.
This is why Mueller may have made this
move…
“What to watch for: whether this is to
make it appear an inquiry is taking place
to satiate jury when secret deal
immunized testimony. Prosecutors
often make it look like they are
prosecuting someone to boost their
testimony, but no one would testify
unless secret deal made,” Attorney
Robert Barnes said of this Mueller referral.
None of the people involved have been
charged and there is zero indication this
inquiry will even result in criminal
charges.
CNN reported:
The transfer of the inquiries marks an
escalation of Mueller’s referrals to the US
Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of
New York in the period since he turned
258
over a case involving President Donald
Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael
Cohen.
Since the spring, Mueller has referred
matters to SDNY involving longtime
Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta and his
work for his former firm, the Podesta
Group, and former Minnesota Republican
Rep. Vin Weber and his work for Mercury
Public Affairs, the sources said.
One source said that former Obama White
House counsel Greg Craig, a former
partner at law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom LLP, is also part of the
inquiry.
None of the entities involved have been
charged with wrongdoing, and there is
no indication the SDNY inquiry will
result in criminal charges.
At least one of the matters, involving
Podesta, was referred to SDNY by
Mueller’s team shortly before the FBI
executed searches of Cohen’s home, office
and hotel room in early April, according to
the sources, though there is no sign that
the timing was related to the Cohen
investigation. It couldn’t be determined if
the other matters were referred at the same
time.
Although sources tell CNN Mueller may have referred
Podesta and others to federal prosecutors in New York
after receiving backlash for what many perceive as the
special counsel’s examination of matters beyond the scope
of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and
Russia during the 2016 election cycle, it is certainly
another way to make Mueller appear bipartisan as these
cases get buried by US Attorneys.
The Podesta Group, the now defunct
lobbying firm ran by John Podesta’s
brother, Tony Podesta, was lobbying a
pro-Kremlin Ukrainian political front yet
was never issued an indictment from
Mueller even though they failed to
register as a foreign agent.
Tony Podesta was given immunity in the DC case where
Manafort is being charged for failing to file a FARA form
for his Ukrainian lobbying efforts. This is further proof
Manafort is being hunted down like an animal by Mueller
purely because of his association with Donald Trump.
The Podesta Group was given the liberty to retroactively
file its foreign agent disclosures after someone at the DOJ
tipped them off they had improperly filed FARA
paperwork.
Tony Podesta has received special treatment from Mueller
and the Feds while the FBI raided Manafort at gunpoint in
a pre-dawn door-buster to seize paperwork.

 Noam Chomsky: Russian Interference Isn’t
Influencing US Elections—But Israel Definitely Is
While Americans Obsess Over Alleged "Russian Hacking," Noam Chomsky
Questions Why Political Influence From Israel Is Being Ignored.
By John Vibes
July 31, 2018
World-renowned author and lecturer Noam Chomsky
pointed out in a recent interview that Israel has actually
had far more influence in the United States political system
than Russia ever has, in the wake of mass media hysteria
about alleged “collusion” in the 2016 election.
In an interview with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now,
Chomsky said:
So, take, say, the huge issue of
interference in our pristine elections. Did
the Russians interfere in our elections? An
issue of overwhelming concern in the
media. I mean, in most of the world, that’s
almost a joke. First of all, if you’re
interested in foreign interference in our
elections, whatever the Russians may have
done barely counts or weighs in the
balance as compared with what another
state does, openly, brazenly and with
enormous support. Israeli intervention in
U.S. elections vastly overwhelms anything
the Russians may have done, I mean, even
to the point where the prime minister of
Israel, Netanyahu, goes directly to
Congress, without even informing the
president, and speaks to Congress, with
overwhelming applause, to try to
undermine the president’s policies—what
happened with Obama and Netanyahu in
2015. Did Putin come to give an address to
the joint sessions of Congress trying to—
260
calling on them to reverse U.S. policy,
without even informing the president? And
that’s just a tiny bit of this overwhelming
influence. So if you happen to be interested
in influence of—foreign influence on
elections, there are places to look. But
even that is a joke.
Chomsky went on to point out that:
That’s only one part of it. Lobbyists
practically write legislation in congressional
offices. In massive ways, the concentrated
private capital, corporate russector, super
wealth, intervene in our elections,
massively, overwhelmingly, to the extent
that the most elementary principles of
democracy are undermined. Now, of
course, all that is technically legal, but that
tells you something about the way the
society functions. So, if you’re concerned
with our elections and how they operate
and how they relate to what would happen
in a democratic society, taking a look at
Russian hacking is absolutely the wrong
place to look. Well, you see occasionally
some attention to these matters in the
media, but very minor as compared with
the extremely marginal question of Russian
hacking.
Chomsky is one of the few intellectuals in the public eye
who can get away with being so critical of Israel, because
he has Jewish heritage, despite being non-religious. It is
common for anyone critical of Israel’s policies to be
labeled as an anti-semitic.
Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, another outspoken
critic of Israel, said in a 2016 interview that anyone who
speaks out about the apartheid state is labeled as anti-
semitic.
 “The only response to BDS is that it is anti-
Semitic, I know this because I have been
accused of being a Nazi and an anti-
Semite for the past 10 years. My industry
has been particularly recalcitrant in even
raising a voice [against Israel]. There’s me
and Elvis Costello, Brian Eno, Manic Street
Preachers, one or two others, but there’s
nobody in the United States where I live.
I’ve talked to a lot of them, and they are
scared s***less….” he said.
“If they say something in public they will no
longer have a career. They will be
destroyed. I’m hoping to encourage some
of them to stop being frightened and to
stand up and be counted because we need
them. We need them desperately in this
conversation in the same way we needed
musicians to join protesters over Vietnam,”
Waters added.
In recent years, as the horror that the Israeli government
unleashes upon the prisoners of Palestine has been
exposed, global public opinion is finally beginning to shift
against the apartheid state. In response, the governments in
the U.S. and Israel have both been forcing legislation to
keep a lid on the genocide that is taking place.
Last month, The Free Thought Project reported that South
Carolina passed a law to legally define criticism of Israel
as “anti-Semitism,” showing a concerted effort to stifle
criticism of a government that is indiscriminately killing
innocent people, and keeping an entire population in
poverty and constant terror.
As The Free Thought Project also reported,
41 other members of Congress came
together to champion proposed legislation
in July 2017 that would “make literal
criminals of any Americans boycotting
261
Israel—a brazen, if not explicit, attack on
the BDS Movement, incidentally exploding
in popularity worldwide as the belligerent
nation continues its occupation of
Palestinian lands.”
Governments are not alone in this suppression of
information either, tech corporations that now control the
media narrative are also taking efforts to prevent people
from seeing the true face of the Israeli military. YouTube
has been engaging in censorship of Israeli war crimes, as
journalist Abby Martin called attention to earlier this year
when a video that she made about the violence in Isreal
was flagged as “hate speech” and blocked by YouTube in
28 countries.
Journalist Max Blumenthal, who was featured in the
interview, suggested that pro-Israel lobbyists have major
tech companies on their payroll:
“My comments were based entirely on my
extensive journalistic experience in the
region and my analysis was clinical in
nature. At no point did I denigrate anyone
based on their faith or ethnicity. The trend
of censoring material that presents Israel in
a less than favorable light has only
intensified as establishment attacks on
critical voices expands. This latest episode
confirms my view that the pro-Israel lobby
and its willing accomplices in Silicon Valley
present one of the greatest threats to free
speech in the West.”
Despite the best efforts of the Israeli government and their
NATO allies, the world is beginning to wake up to the
struggle of the Palestinian people. Even the United Nations
is taking a new interest in the situation, with the recent
announcement of a war crimes investigation of the Israeli
government’s actions.
 Conservative Painter Releases New Trump-Themed
Artwork: Crossing The Swamp
Benny Johnson | Reporter At Large
8:24 PM 07/31/2018

Artist Jon McNaughton has earned attention in the Trump-
era for his patriotic art depicting the administration and the
American people.
McNaughton released another work on Tuesday, titled
“Crossing The Swamp.” The painting depicts members of
the Trump administration crossing a DC swamp in a pose
that mimics the famous “Washington Crossing The
Delaware” painting. According to the description on
McNaughton’s website, the painting shows how Trump is
defeating the swamp with “the light of truth, hope, and
prosperity.”
Crossing the Swamp, by Jon McNaughton
As an artist, I paint what I feel needs to be said about the
current state of our country. I hope Trump is remembered
as the President that restored America’s greatness. I want
to be on that boat for freedom!
One of Trump’s most well-known campaign chants in
2016 was “drain the swamp.”
The individuals featured in the painting include: Trump,
Nikki Haley, James Mattis, Ben Carson, Jeff Sessions,
Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Mike Pompeo, Sarah
Sanders, Ivanka Trump, John Bolton, Kellyanne Conway
and John Kelly.

Over 240 years ago George Washington crossed Valley

Forge to bring an astonishing victory to the Continental
Army. This led to what many thought was impossible — to
defeat a despot King and his formidable army.

Today, Trump endeavors to cross the “swamp” of

Washington DC as he carries the light of truth, hope, and
prosperity. The murky water of the deep state is laced with
dangerous vermin, perfectly willing to destroy American
prosperity for their personal ideologies and financial gain.
The establishment Democrats, Never-Trumper-
Republicans, Deep State, and Fake News Media will do all
they can to stop the majority of the American people from
succeeding.

 Paul Manafort Faces 305 Years In Prison
For Tax Fraud – A Crime That Typically Has An Average
Sentence Of 1 Year And 3 Months! (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
July 31, 2018, 8:45 Pm
The bank fraud and tax evasion trial for President Trump’s
former campaign chair Paul Manafort began Tuesday
morning in a federal court in Alexandria, VA.
The alleged crimes have nothing to do with Trump, the
Trump campaign, collusion or Russia.
Paul Manafort is in solitary confinement
for 23 hours every day.
Paul Manafort faces 305 years in prison
for tax evasion crimes.
Via Tucker Carlson Tonight:
The Deep State don’t play.
Manafort had his bail revoked. In an
unusual penalty for a man with no criminal
convictions, he has been held in solitary
confinement pretty much ever since for 23
hours a day.
Manafort now faces 305 years in prison.
That’s several life sentences. So what
exactly is Paul Manafort accused of doing?
If you guessed murder, guess again. Most
murderers don’t get treated like that by the
government. The average violent felon in
this country receives just six-and-a-half
years behind bars. No, Paul Manafort is
accused of something far worse than
murder – tax evasion and violating banking
regulations. The government isn’t even
suggesting Manafort stole money from a
bank. They say he was dishonest on loan
applications. For that: solitary confinement
and 305 years in prison…
For perspective on that, the average
sentence for tax fraud in this country is
a year and three months.

His business accomplice Tony Podesta has not been

charged with any crimes. Tony Podesta was offered
immunity by Dirty Cop Robert Mueller to testify against
Paul Manafort in the ongoing witch hunt.

Tuesday night Tucker Carlson had this to say on Mueller’s

political agenda.

 Iraq War Veteran Turned FBI Agent
Notified Comey Of Widespread FBI Corruption, Comey &
McCabe Set Out To “Suicide Him”
By Investigative Bureau
Posted On August 1, 2018
When Iraq War veteran turned FBI Agent Omar Montoya
sent FBI Director James Comey a letter detailing
widespread corruption within the Bureau, Comey quickly
took action. And tried to ruin Montoya.
Did Comey try to clean up the FBI and right the wrongs
Montoya spelled out in his detailed letter? If you read
Comey’s book — where he talks about integrity and
leadership — the answer would appear to be yes, Comey
righted the wrongs of the wayward FBI.
But unlike Comey’s book and his public persona, Comey
did the opposite. The FBI director moved to crush
Montoya — even at one point moving to have him indicted
— as a threat to the FBI, according to well-placed FBI
sources.
Montoya is still in the FBI, assigned to its New Haven.
Connecticut field office. Comey has since been fired.
This story has no fairytale ending where Montoya emerged
unscathed from Comey’s wrath, carried out by then FBI
Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and his winged
monkeys.
Yes, Comey and McCabe and even Montoya’s New Haven
SAC Patricia Ferrick are all gone now — fired and pushed
out of the FBI. And while Montoya remains, his life and
career are in tatters, FBI sources said.
“They fucking ruined this man,” one well-
placed D.C. FBI source said. “They tried to
suicide him.”
268
Montoya would not comment for this story but FBI
insiders painted a vicious portrait of how the Iraq War
veteran was treated after simply trying to clean up the
FBI’s wayward New Haven office.
It was Comey who personally visited the New Haven
office and apologized to the men and women of the FBI
for allowing the mismanagement under his predecessor
Robert Mueller to get so out of control in the tiny office.
Following that cue, where Comey said he would
personally ensure turning that field office around, FBI
sources said Montoya sent Comey a long letter just before
the 2016 presidential election detailing favoritism,
nepotism, fraud, illicit behavior, harassment, pay to play,
FBI agents instructed to surveil and tail other FBI agents
and potential crimes inside the New Haven FBI.
These are just a sampling of the corruption.
Comey handed the letter off to McCabe and instructed him
to “deal with this trouble maker,” according to FBI
sources. And deal with him, he did. Three weeks after
Montoya delivered details of FBI corruption to Comey,
Comey moved to investigate and possibly even indict
Montoya.
Montoya is now on disability after years of psychological
torture. McCabe and Ferrick, emboldened by Comey,
painted Montoya as a potential terrorist who was an
“insider threat” to the FBI and national security, sources
said. He was marginalized, taken off the street. Ostracized
until he had a breakdown.
“What D.C. did to Omar Montoya is a
national disgrace,” one FBI insider said.
“The goal was to have him eat his gun but
no one knew how tough he was. You have
to be strong to make it through this kind of
gauntlet.”
A brutal gauntlet. This is what the FBI does to its own.
They treat good agents like Montoya the same as they
would a career criminal. There is little difference.
You want to take on the Bureau even if you’ve been
treated capriciously, prepare for the fight of your life. It’s
the same techniques the FBI and Justice Department
employ against criminal defendants who won’t work a plea
deal or seek a jury trial.
If things are that bad, why doesn’t someone in the Justice
Department or Washington, D.C. do something about it.
Ferrick who until recently ran the New Haven office is a
close associate of recently defrocked and fired FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe. Under McCabe’s supervision,
agents seldom filed complaints because they feared they
would be ignored. Often, they were. Others who did file
complaints were put through a vicious gauntlet designed
by FBI brass.
McCabe’s influence and management philosophy still has
tentacles throughout numerous key FBI field offices,
sources said. That includes New Haven, although it is on a
much smaller scale compared to Las Vegas, Los Angeles
or even Little Rock where McCabe’s influence is still seen
in the Bureau’s leadership of each office.
Ferrick and her inner circle are accused of, among other
infractions, running an office plagued with pay-for-play,
favoritism, hundreds of thousands spent in legal fees to
fight lawsuits and internal complaints, even alleged illegal
surveillance on their own agents.
And retaliation. Lots of retaliation.
Even nepotism.
“New Haven has been a real shit show for
a long time,” one DEA agent said.
“Everyone in the northeast knows it, not
just FBI. The U.S. Attorney’s office up here
is no better because they cover for them.”
Two agents in New Haven have uncovered just how rife
the office is with corruption and downright pettiness that is
costing taxpayers untold millions of dollars.
Special Agent Kurt Siuzdak filed a federal lawsuit against
the Justice Department and then-Attorney General Eric
Holder in 2014 for serious workplace problems in New
Haven.
It turns out the New Haven FBI might have messed with
the wrong agent. Siuzdak is a 21-year FBI veteran and also
a trial lawyer who worked in New York as a legal attache
to Iraq for the Bureau before joining New Haven in 2009.
That’s when the trouble began for the former Army
veteran who was also one of the FBI agents who
responded to and worked the World Trade Center
bombings on September 11, 2001.
269
Siuzdak maintains he was passed over for promotions
because New Haven’s FBI leadership awarded promotions
based on social affiliations: popularity, not achievement.
Just like a high school prom committee. When Siuzdak
complained that New Haven’s leadership was feckless,
dysfunctional and arbitrary, he was professionally
minimized, harassed, retaliated against and even subjected
to a baseless internal investigation.
That included being followed by colleagues like a common
criminal, sources said.
It is hard to understand why Siuzdak was targeted so
viciously. It was not a surprise — even after the agent
blew the whistle — that New Haven wasn’t the FBI’s
shining field office on a hill.
According to internal FBI employment surveys in 2012
and 2013, agents hammered the office with brutally-low
ratings for leadership, employee treatment and overall
office morale. A January 2013 an inspection by FBI
headquarters of New Haven’s violent crime task forces
found that
“senior management was described as
leading by fear and intimidation, negatively
impacting both internal personnel and the
liaison relationships with the FBI’s external
partners.”
As FBI Director, Comey visited the New Haven office in
2014 and vowed to clean it up. He also apologized to
agents in a speech for the Bureau’s past transgressions of
workplace slights in New Haven. Four years later, agents
said the office is worse than ever.
Just ask Montoya.
He sued the FBI, Justice Department, Jeff Sessions and
Christopher Wray in September.
Montoya’s case is entwined with Special Agent Kurt
Siuzdak’s case in a somewhat strange way. Before any FBI
agent can file a case in federal court, they are required to
file the grievances within the FBI’s office of Equal
Employment Opportunity Affairs (“EEO”). Montoya, who
worked as a GS-11 electronics technician for the FBI, was
also the internal FBI EEO counselor who was assigned to
another agent’s case in 2015.
Sources said Montoya recognized the unnamed agent’s
case was so well documented that he told supervisors and
FBI brass in New Haven that they should settle the case, it
was doubtful the FBI would win the case, specially if it
reached federal court, sources said.

That said, the shenanigans at the FBI’s New Haven field
office are literally costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
And while Montoya’s lawsuit fails to detail another toll
unseen on a balance sheet, FBI sources said FBI brass in
New Haven targeted Montoya with a dirty trick that likely
contributed to his stress-induced medical woes and health
decline.
Montoya emigrated to the United States from Ecuador in
1993 and became a legal resident of the United States. By
1994, he was a legal citizen as was enrolled in the Army
from 1994 through 2002, deployed to Saudi Arabia and
South Korea. From 2003 to 2006 he was employed as a
civilian contractor the U.S. Armed Forces, deployed to
Iraq and central America as an aircraft mechanic. Then he
enrolled in college and got his bachelor’s degree.
The American dream, really.
At the time, FBI sources said Peter Strzok was running a
program in Washington D.C. called the Post-Adjudication
Risk Management plan, or PARM, an FBI program
initiated to catch problematic and criminal associations of
FBI agents with foreign contacts. FBI insiders said Strzok
used PARM to label Montonya an “insider threat” because
of his international travel and service for the U.S. military
and being that he was born in Ecuador.
“It’s the equivalent of being linked to
terrorism inside the FBI,” one insider said.
“Your career is frozen when you are
designated an insider threat. McCabe and

Stzok used this to silence many agents and
Kerrick was behind this in New Haven. She
dialed up McCabe to try and ruin Montoya,
there is not doubt.”
Just to win a grievance over a promotion.
Sources said Montoya suffered multiple health issues after
this and missed time at work, including a stint where he
had to file for disability pay in order to keep up with his
family’s bills and obligations because FBI brass didn’t
want to pay him any more.
This is what the FBI does with agents who take on the
system. They break good people. Some never come back.
Montoya’s friends inside the FBI said he has exhausted his
life savings fighting the FBI in court. They estimate his
legal fees at $300,000 and climbing.
FBI Director Christopher Wray wanted to settle Montoya’s
case, one well-placed FBI source said to “put this behind
the FBI and move forward.”
But Wray has since changed his mind, the source
said. This is how loyal FBI agents who want to do the right
thing are treated.
And no one in D.C. headquarters even blinks. In fact, they
join in.
If the FBI does this to its own, just imagine what they are
capable of doing to you.
 Trump Will Announce His Pick
To Be White House Science Czar
Michael Bastasch | Contributor
12:47 AM 08/01/2018

“I think he is a very solid choice,” Obama’s

former science czar, John Holdren, told
The Post. “He is a respected senior
scientist and he has experience in
speaking science to power.”

Climate scientist Judith Curry, a noted skeptic of

catastrophic global warming theories, also seemed pleased
with Trump’s choice to head OSTP.
President Donald Trump will nominate meteorologist
Kelvin Droegemeier to the long vacant post to head the

An administration official told The Washington Post on

czar, Droegemeier will fill the 19-month vacancy at OSTP.

 Dershowitz: Mueller Trying To ‘SQUEEZE’ Manafort For
Dirt On POTUS Trump Because He Has NOTHING
Posted On August 1, 2018
(National Sentinel) Coming Up Empty: The Spygate
probe into POTUS Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign began
two years ago last month — ‘officially,’ anyway — and to
date, nothing has been found proving “collusion” with
Russia or anything at all that is nefarious or illegal.
Flat out, the Trump campaign did not plot
to ‘steal the election’ from Hillary with
Vladimir Putin and his intelligence
services. It just didn’t happen.
After the corrupt Obama regime led by fired FBI Director
James Comey, DNI James Clapper, and CIA Director John
Brennan couldn’t ‘get the goods’ on POTUS Trump, they
handed the effort off to special counsel Robert Mueller.
Only, he hasn’t been able to find
anything either.
So he’s been trumping up charges on former Trump
campaign officials as a way of getting them to flip on the
president…for something.
Anything.
That’s how Harvard law professor and liberal Alan
Dershowitz sees it too.
He told Fox News‘ Tucker Carlson Tuesday night
Mueller is trying to “squeeze” Manafort in an effort to get
him to [fabricate charges] against the president that he can
use to put in a report that will give Democrats ammunition
.
273
to go for impeachment if they win back control of
Congress in November.
The Daily Caller reported:
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan
Dershowitz attacked special counsel
Robert Mueller for the way in which he is
prosecuting former Trump campaign
chairman Paul Manafort while on Tucker
Carlson Tonight on Tuesday night.
“It’s very simple. His crime is being
associated with Donald Trump. Don’t listen
to me on this, listen to Judge Ellis. The
judge who is presiding over the case. The
judge ruled and said, they are not
interested in Manafort. Mueller is not
interested in Manafort.
“They are just trying to get him convicted
so they can squeeze him,” Dershowitz
stated. “If you squeeze a witness not only
does the witness sing but sometimes
according to the judge, the witness
composes,” Dershowitz said.
“If he hadn’t been associated with the
Trump campaign he’d be out in New
York or wherever doing his business,” he
continued.
Carlson then compared what Mueller’s doing to what the
Mafia does.
“Unfortunately it is the way that justice has
been practiced against the mafia and
against terrorists and we civil libertarians
have long been opposed to this way of
dealing with problems,” Dershowitz
responded.
Mueller doesn’t have anything on POTUS Trump
because there isn’t anything to have. Spygate was criminal
and Mueller’s probe is a joke — a cover to keep the heat
off the real Russian conspirator, Hillary Clinton and her
campaign (Russian dossier, anyone?).
 Corrupt And Criminal Mueller Team Gives Tony
Podesta Immunity Then Refers His Name To
Southern District NY In PR Scam
By Jim Hoft
August 1, 2018, 7:48 Am
Yesterday the criminal and corrupt
Mueller investigation continued its
practice of leaking or releasing news to
keep the ‘fake news’ Russia collusion
scam alive.
This time Mueller pretends to be non-
partisan in reporting that creepy Tony
Podesta has been referred to the
Southern District of New York for
review. Don’t be fooled – this is just
another deep state Mueller scam.
As reported yesterday at TGP by
Cristina Laila, Robert Mueller has
referred several cases to New York
federal prosecutors to probe a few
American lobbyists, including Tony
Podesta, for failing to properly file as
foreign agents.
CNN reported:
The transfer of the inquiries marks an
escalation of Mueller’s referrals to the US
Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of
New York in the period since he turned
over a case involving President Donald
Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael
Cohen.
274
Since the spring, Mueller has referred
matters to SDNY involving longtime
Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta and his
work for his former firm, the Podesta
Group, and former Minnesota Republican
Rep. Vin Weber and his work for Mercury
Public Affairs, the sources said.
One source said that former Obama White
House counsel Greg Craig, a former
partner at law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom LLP, is also part of the
inquiry.
None of the entities involved have been
charged with wrongdoing, and there is
no indication the SDNY inquiry will
result in criminal charges.
At least one of the matters, involving
Podesta, was referred to SDNY by
Mueller’s team shortly before the FBI
executed searches of Cohen’s home, office
and hotel room in early April, according to
the sources, though there is no sign that
the timing was related to the Cohen
investigation. It couldn’t be determined if
the other matters were referred at the same
time.
As Christina reported, this is merely a
ploy to make it look like Robert Mueller
is ‘bipartisan,’ and to boost Podesta’s
testimony being that he has already
been immunized in Manafort’s DC case.
Per Attorney Robert Barnes:
“What to watch for: whether this is to
make it appear an inquiry is taking place
to satiate jury when secret deal
immunized testimony. Prosecutors
often make it look like they are
prosecuting someone to boost their
testimony, but no one would testify
unless secret deal made,”
Another pundit whose been following
the Mueller investigation on Twitter
agrees –

A few weeks ago it was first reported
that at least one of the Podesta brothers
was being given immunity by the
corrupt Mueller team.
Tucker Carlson claims he has a source that confirms
Podesta has been given immunity by Mueller. Some
speculate that the immunity was just another scam to
protect the corrupt Podesta brothers who were Manafort’s
bosses in the Ukraine and who therefore likely committed
the same crimes Manafort is being charged with –
Tony Podesta was given immunity in the DC case where
Manafort is being charged for failing to file a FARA form
for his Ukrainian lobbying efforts. Manafort has been
placed in solitary confinement even though he has been
indicted for no crimes. Mueller claimed he was a flight
risk even though Mueller already took away his passport.
.
275
Mueller then claimed Manafort was tampering with
witnesses when Manafort has no idea who the witnesses
are that will testify against him.
The Podesta Group was given the liberty to retroactively
file its foreign agent disclosures after someone at the DOJ
tipped them off they had improperly filed FARA
paperwork. Tony Podesta has received special treatment
from Mueller and the Feds while the FBI raided Manafort
at gunpoint in a pre-dawn door-buster to seize paperwork.
Were no longer fooled by corrupt
Mueller and his gang trying to
overthrow the Trump Administration.
Mueller will go down in history as the
most corrupt government official ever
for putting together the most corrupt
and conflicted cabal to ever attempt
sedition under the guise of an
investigation. Let’s continue to pray for
justice!
 Sanders: Trump’s Tweet About
Sessions And Russia Probe ‘Not An Order’
– It’s ‘Opinion’
Ian Hanchett
1 Aug 2018

During Wednesday’s White House Press Briefing, White

House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders stated that
the president’s tweet earlier in the day where Trump stated
Attorney General Jeff Sessions should end the
Russia probe isn’t an order, and is just the president’s
opinion.

Sanders said,

“It’s not an order. It’s the president’s

opinion. And it’s ridiculous that all of the
corruption and dishonesty that’s gone on
with the launching of the witch hunt, the
president wants to — has watched this
process play out. But he also wants to see
it come to an end, as he’s stated many
times. And we look forward to that
happening.”

 CNN’s Acosta, Blitzer Suggest
Trump Is Inciting Violence Against Media
Compares Trump To Mass Suicide Cult Leader Jim Jones
Steve Watson | Infowars.Com
August 1, 2018

Following yet another packed out rally
where thousands of Americans
raucously cheered the President, CNN
again suggested that Donald Trump’s
anti-media rhetoric could lead to
violence against reporters, even
intimating that Trump could be issuing a
‘call to arms’ against reporters.
“Do you believe that people could take
President Trump’s vitriol as a call to arms?”
Blitzer asked Cohen, who agreed and
likened Trump’s supporters to the followers
of mass suicide leader Jim Jones.

Acosta, who was at the rally and forced to endure loud

chants of “fake news” and “CNN sucks,” said it was

“Just a sample of the sad scene we faced

at the Trump rally in Tampa.”
He then stated
“I’m very worried that the hostility whipped
up by Trump and some in conservative
media will result in somebody getting hurt.
We should not treat our fellow Americans
this way. The press is not the enemy.”
“I’ve seen a lot of his supporters. They
listen and believe everything that they put
out. It’s like James Jones and they drank
the Kool-Aid and I’m afraid that he could
incite them to violence,” Cohen said.
“A lot of them are on the edge anyway. And
it’s unfortunate what he said. The free
press is important to America as a bulwark
of democracy and the rule of the law.”
Cohen added.

This is far from the first time CNN has suggested that
Trump is inciting violence against reporters, yet the
network provides a platform for anti-Trump ‘resistance’
loons on a daily basis, and even sponsored a play in which
Trump was assassinated.

The media is, of course, non-partisan. The likes of CNN

and MSNBC report straight down the line, they do not
have an agenda against Trump, and it’s very obviously true
that the walls are closing in on the President:

Meanwhile, during an interview with Democratic

Congressman Steve Cohen, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer
suggested that Trump’s “attacks” on reporters “could lead
to violence against members of the media.”

 Trump Tells Jeff Sessions To
End Mueller Investigation "Right Now"
By Tyler Durden
Wed, 08/01/2018 - 09:34
President Trump was later then normal to take to his
Twitter account this morning, but nevertheless provided a
triumvirate of tweets that doubled down on his views of
the Russia probe and what should be done about it.
Trump began with a two-fer tweet, quoting Alan
Dershowitz:
“FBI Agent Peter Strzok (on the Mueller
team) should have recused himself on
day one. He was out to STOP THE
ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP. He
needed an insurance policy. Those are
illegal, improper goals, trying to influence
the Election. He should never, ever been
allowed to remain in the FBI while he
himself was being investigated. This is a
real issue. It won’t go into a Mueller
Report because Mueller is going to
protect these guys. Mueller has an
interest in creating the illusion of
objectivity around his investigation.”
281
And then Trump took aim at his own AG,
demanding the probe be shut down
"right now"...
Sessions, who has recused himself from supervising the
Mueller investigation, didn’t immediately respond to the
president’s tweet. Sarah Isgur Flores, a spokeswoman for
the Justice Department, declined to comment.
Trump said last summer he would have chosen a different
attorney general had he known Sessions would recuse
himself from supervising the investigation of election
interference. Trump has periodically launched barrages of
public attacks on Sessions related to the special counsel’s
investigation.
Trump’s tweet was immediately condemned by some
Democratic lawmakers as a blatant attempt to obstruct
justice:
“The President of the United States just
called on his Attorney General to put an
end to an investigation in which the
President, his family and campaign may be
implicated," Representative Adam Schiff of
California, the top Democrat on the House
Intelligence Committee, said on Twitter.
"This is an attempt to obstruct justice hiding
 in plain sight. America must never accept
it."
However, Trump was not done as he made sure the
American public understand his relationship with Paul
Manafort...
"These old charges have nothing to do
with Collusion - a Hoax!"
282
And once again pinned the blame on the real colluders...
"The Democrats paid for the phony and
discredited Dossier which was, along with
Comey, McCabe, Strzok and his lover, the
lovely Lisa Page, used to begin the Witch
Hunt. Disgraceful!"

attendees of President Donald Trump’s
Tampa rally Tuesday night, referring to
them as toothless “garbage people.”

UPDATE: After nearly 11 hours, Caputo posts an apology.

CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta

tweeted footage of being jeered by Trump supporters and
claimed to be “very worried that the hostility whipped up
by Trump and some in conservative media will result in

Caputo mocked the appearance of Trump rallygoers.

“If you put everyone’s mouths together in

Pollak tweeted.
Caputo joined Politico‘s Florida vertical from the Miami

 Democrat Mouthpiece Maxine Waters
Hit With FEC Complaint Over Campaign Mailers
By Jim Hoft
August 1, 2018, 10:14 Am
Mad Maxine Waters is facing charges
regarding how she raises campaign
money and how much goes to her
employed daughter.
Maxine’s daughter, Karen Waters, has
been paid $750,000 for helping produce
flyers for her mother’s campaign.
The National Legal and Policy Center posted a report
on their complaints against Maxine Waters.
FOX News reported:
Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, one of
the most outspoken members of the anti-
Trump ‘resistance’ in Congress, is facing
fresh questions about a longstanding
controversy regarding how her campaign
raises money and how those funds have
flowed to her daughter.
The California congresswoman has raised
hundreds of thousands of dollars each
election cycle from some of her state’s
biggest politicians paying to be listed on
her slate mailers—sample ballots
traditionally mailed out to about 200,000
voters in Los Angeles highlighting whom
she supports.
Since 2004, the campaign in turn
reportedly has paid $750,000 to the
congresswoman’s daughter, Karen Waters,
or her public relations firm Progressive
Connections for help producing them.
A government watchdog in July filed the
first of two complaints with the Federal
287
Election Commission asking for a full audit
of the Citizens for Waters campaign.
The first complaint alleges Waters broke
federal campaign finance law, and also
names the California Democratic State
Central Committee and Sen. Kamala
Harris, a likely 2020 Democratic
presidential contender.
The conservative National Legal and Policy
Center is still drafting a second broader
complaint focusing on the sources of
money going to the Waters campaign and
flowing to her daughter—and the accuracy
of campaign finance reports, said Tom
Anderson, director of the group’s
government integrity project.
Today, NLPC filed a Complaint with the
Federal Election Commission alleging that
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) violated
federal election law in a transaction related
to her so-called slate mailer during her last
re-election campaign.
The transaction was a payment to Waters’
campaign fund from the Democratic State
Central Committee of California (DSCCC)
in the amount of $35,000 for the inclusion
of then-Senate candidate, and now Senator
Kamala Harris, on Waters’ slate mailer.
Whereas candidates like Harris may legally
pay Waters’ campaign for the proportional
costs of their inclusion on her slate mailer,
it is not legal for such payment to be made
by a third party like the DSCCC.
Waters’ slate mailers have been a matter of
controversy for years. They resemble a
sample ballot distributed by political parties
before and during elections, but contain
Waters’ personal endorsements. She
pioneered a new way to use slate mailers
by seeking an Advisory Opinion from the
Federal Election Commission in 2004 that
allows her to use her federal campaign to

 Trump Rally Peaking Now
– Gerald Celente
By Greg Hunter
August 1, 2018
Renowned trends researcher Gerald Celente saw early on
that Donald Trump would be good for America and the
economy, but everybody knows the so-called “Trump
rally” cannot go on forever. Celente explains,
“We were the first magazine to call the
‘Trump rally’ two or three weeks after he
got elected. We are the first ones to call the
‘Trump rally’ ending. Now, we are only a
few points from the (stock market) high, but
we see it peaking. It is the interest rates
that are the issue and the overvalued and
overleveraged stock market.”
So, the stock market might be heading for a crash
according to Celente, but he says there is little for the little
guy to fear. Celente contends,
“It won’t be the kind of crash, and it won’t
be the kind of decline that hurts society the
way it did back in the dot-com days in 2000
. . . and it will not be the equivalent to the
2008 panic because the average consumer
is not in it. You have a different atmosphere
now. . . . You have about 10% (of the
investors) that own 90% of the stocks. All
the rest of the stocks owned by the rest of
the people averages around $15,000 (per
person). . . . The 10% (of the investors) that
own 90% of the stocks own an average of
around $350,000 to $360,000. So, it’s not
going to ripple through the nation like the
other market crashes.”
.
289
Celente thinks even if the market does not crash, it will
keep rolling along but at a slower pace. There are two big
things, according to Celente, that could cause big
problems. Celente says,
“We definitely see a slowdown. Absent two
major issues, we don’t see a crash. Issue
number one: rapidly rising interest rates.
Issue number two: rising oil prices. Which
ties into issue number three and that is war
in the Middle East. If oil prices go into the
$80 to $100 per barrel range, you can kiss
the markets goodbye.”
One positive wild card Celente predicts concerns
Afghanistan. Celente says,
“We think there is a wild card that is going
to be played, and you all are the first to
hear it. That is Trump is really going to give
a boost to the midterms because we
believe he’s going to be ending the Afghan
war. There are signs of peace talks going
on already. It’s a 17 year war. In the 2016
campaign, Trump wanted to end it then,
and he stated that very clearly. . . . We
believe there is going to be massive pull
backs of troops, not only from Afghanistan,
but from South Korea, Okinawa and from
around the world. Trump promised
infrastructure rebuilding, which Trump has
not done. We believe he is going to take a
page out of our action for ‘Occupy Peace’. .
. . Trump is going to put our troops to work
rebuilding our infrastructure.”

The Washington Examiner reported:
FBI special agent Matthew Mikuska
described in court on Wednesday the
Deep State pre-dawn raid on Paul
Manafort’s home.
The FBI stormed his home with
weapons drawn.
The FBI agents insisted on searching
Kathleen Manafort for weapons for the
alleged financial crimes of her husband.
The documents seized included
materials Manafort had already
provided to the US Congress,

Jeff Sessions has been AWOL as
the Deep State FBI wreaks havoc
against innocent Americans.
FBI special agent Matthew Mikuska
testified in court in Alexandria, Va., saying
he was the seizing agent for the
government’s search last year.
Mikuska told the jury agents knocked three
times on Manafort’s door, but used a key to
gain access after receiving no answer.
Once inside, agents saw Manafort.
Their warrant to search the apartment,
Mikuska said, was not a “no-knock”
warrant.
Mikuska described the apartment as
“luxury” and spanning more than 2,000
square feet, with three bedrooms, an office,
and large closet spaces.
Uzo Asonye of the U.S. Attorney’s Office
for the Eastern District of Virginia
questioned Mikuska about the trove of
documents they seized during the search.
Documents the government obtained
include loan agreements, loan applications,
and invoices for work on several properties
along the East Coast that Manafort owns.
One draft invoice was for $115,000 in
upgrades for a property in Palm Beach
Gardens, Fla., while another was for
$49,000 from a home improvement
company for work to be done on a house in
Bridgehampton, N.Y.
Judge T. S. Ellis III challenged prosecutors
over how the draft invoices and documents
tied to the charges against Manafort.
At the start of the second day of Manafort’s
trial, Ellis also took issue with the use of the
term “oligarch” to describe the various
Ukrainians who paid Manafort for his work
there.
As Mike Cernovich said in September
2017, this is a violation of due process
guaranteed to every American citizen.

Ellis said the term is typically used to

describe members of despotic regimes. But
under the prosecution and defense’s use of
the term in court, Ellis said George Soros
and Charles Koch would both be described
as oligarchs – people who have a lot of
money.

Ellis urged lawyers for both sides to avoid

using the term and instead told them to say
“he financed it.”

Manfort and his lawyers were

cooperating with the Mueller henchmen
at the time of the Deep State raid.
There was no need for the abusive and
threatening tactics by Dirty Cop Robert
Mueller.

 Gingrich: 'Good Chance' Manafort
Wins At Trial, Making Mueller 'Look Like A Fool'
Says AG Sessions Has Authority To Fire Mueller's Team.
America's Newsroom
Augusty 1, 2018, 12:11am

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that President
Trump has "every right" to be "deeply" frustrated that
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from
the Russia probe.
Trump on Wednesday tweeted that the charges against his
former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, have nothing
to do with alleged collusion with the Kremlin.
"The whole country is gonna shrug off
everything else that Mueller does," he
argued.
Trump also tweeted Wednesday that Sessions needs to
stop the "Rigged Witch Hunt" against him.

Manafort faces charges of conspiracy to commit money Gingrich said Trump should "endure" the
laundering, making false statements and working as an investigation instead of firing Sessions, but that Sessions
unregistered agent of the government of Ukraine. has the "absolute authority" to fire Mueller's team.

Some have suggested that the prosecution of Manafort is
going forward because Special Counsel Robert Mueller
wants him to provide evidence against the president.
"This is exactly what independent counsels
do," Gingrich said on "America's
Newsroom." "They can't solve the case
they were hired for, so they invent a case."
Gingrich, a Fox News contributor, added that he believes
Manafort has a "good chance" to prevail at trial and
Mueller will "look like a fool" if that happens.
.
"This is a disgraceful, one-sided witch hunt
by a bunch of left-wing Democrats," he
said, adding that the fallout of senior
intelligence officials shows that "the
sickness" in the Justice Department and
FBI is "very real."
Gingrich said he believed Mueller to be a "very respectable
guy" but his opinion has changed after seeing who Mueller
hired for his team and the subsequent revelations about the
conduct of former FBI Director James Comey and top
agent Peter Strzok.

 Dershowitz: Mueller Trying To ‘SQUEEZE’ Manafort
For Dirt On POTUS Trump Because He Has NOTHING
Posted on August 1, 2018
(National Sentinel) Coming Up Empty: The Spygate
probe into POTUS Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign began
two years ago last month — ‘officially,’ anyway — and to
date, nothing has been found proving “collusion” with
Russia or anything at all that is nefarious or illegal.
Flat out, the Trump campaign did not plot to ‘steal the
election’ from Hillary with Vladimir Putin and his
intelligence services. It just didn’t happen.
After the corrupt Obama regime led by fired FBI Director
James Comey, DNI James Clapper, and CIA Director John
Brennan couldn’t ‘get the goods’ on POTUS Trump, they
handed the effort off to special counsel Robert Mueller.
Only, he hasn’t been able to find anything either. So
he’s been trumping up charges on former Trump campaign
officials as a way of getting them to flip on the
president…for something.
Anything.
That’s how Harvard law professor and liberal Alan
Dershowitz sees it too.
He told Fox News‘ Tucker Carlson Tuesday night Mueller
is trying to “squeeze” Manafort in an effort to get him to
[fabricate charges] against the president that he can use to
put in a report that will give Democrats ammunition to go
for impeachment if they win back control of Congress in
November.
293
The Daily Caller reported:
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan
Dershowitz attacked special counsel
Robert Mueller for the way in which he is
prosecuting former Trump campaign
chairman Paul Manafort while on Tucker
Carlson Tonight on Tuesday night.
“It’s very simple. His crime is being
associated with Donald Trump. Don’t listen
to me on this, listen to Judge Ellis. The
judge who is presiding over the case. The
judge ruled and said, they are not
interested in Manafort. Mueller is not
interested in Manafort.
“They are just trying to get him convicted
so they can squeeze him,” Dershowitz
stated. “If you squeeze a witness not only
does the witness sing but sometimes
according to the judge, the witness
composes,” Dershowitz said.
“If he hadn’t been associated with the
Trump campaign he’d be out in New
York or wherever doing his business,” he
continued.
Carlson then compared what Mueller’s doing to what the
Mafia does.
“Unfortunately it is the way that justice has
been practiced against the mafia and
against terrorists and we civil libertarians
have long been opposed to this way of
dealing with problems,” Dershowitz
responded.
Mueller doesn’t have anything on POTUS Trump
because there isn’t anything to have. Spygate was criminal
and Mueller’s probe is a joke — a cover to keep the heat
off the real Russian conspirator, Hillary Clinton and her
campaign (Russian dossier, anyone?).

AWOL Jeff Sessions To END Mueller Witch Hunt!

ALAN DERSHOWITZ.

This is a terrible situation and Attorney

General Jeff Sessions should stop this
Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it
continues to stain our country any further.
Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his
17 Angry Democrats that are doing his
dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

President Donald Trump went on a

tirade Wednesday morning calling on
AWOL Attorney General to end the
Mueller witch hunt.

Sessions continues to serve as Attorney

General in name only as corrupt Rod
Rosenstein runs a perverted witch hunt
to take down President Trump.

Sessions should have stepped down a

year ago. He knows he lost the trust of
Donald Trump and the American people.

President Trump went off on

Wednesday morning in a series of
tweets.

President Trump:

“FBI Agent Peter Strzok (on the Mueller

team) should have recused himself on day
one. He was out to STOP THE ELECTION
OF DONALD TRUMP. He needed an
insurance policy. Those are illegal,
improper goals, trying to influence the
Election. He should never, ever been
allowed to remain in the FBI while he
himself was being investigated. This is a

Hoax! Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign, one
of the most successful in history, is a TOTAL HOAX.
The Democrats paid for the phony and discredited Dossier

Disgraceful! Looking back on history, who was treated

operative & Reagan/Dole darling, now serving solitary
confinement – although convicted of nothing? Where is
the Russian Collusion?

 Judge Ellis Blasts Mueller’s Prosecutor
For Shocking Revelation ‘Star Witness’ Rick Gates May
NotTestify In Manafort Trial
By Cristina Laila
August 1, 2018, 12:26 Pm
Paul Manafort, Rick Gates
Mueller’s prosecutors sent shockwaves
through the Alexandria, VA courtroom
Wednesday morning when they
admitted Manafort’s former business
associate Rick Gates may not testify.
Rick Gates previously pleaded guilty and agreed to
cooperate with Mueller; he was even referred to as the
Special Counsel’s ‘star witness.’
Judge T.S. Ellis blasted Uso Asonye, Mueller’s prosecutor
who told him Rick Gates may not testify.
Via the Washington Times:
In a shocking admission Wednesday
morning, federal prosecutors said Rick
Gates may not testify in the trial of his
former business partner Paul Manafort.
Mr. Gates, who oversaw some of the
financial dealings of Mr. Manafort’s
consulting business, was expected to be a
key witness for the government.
But prosecutor Uso Asonye said jurors may
not hear from Mr. Gates after all.
“He may testify, he may not,” Mr. Asonye
told Judge T.S. Ellis III.
The revelation sent journalists and others out of the
courtroom to report the disclosure.
298
“That’s news to me and about 25 others
who scurried out of here like rats on a
sinking ship,” Judge Ellis shot back.
Mr. Asonye attempted to backtrack, telling Judge Ellis that
the evidence presented will determine if Mr. Gates
testifies.
That drew a sharp rebuke from Judge Ellis.
“You know who you are going to call,”
He said. “If you are [not] going to call
him then this is a waste of time.”
This rebuke from Judge Ellis was in response to FBI agent
Matthew Mikuska describing a financial document put
together by Rick Gates.
Judge Ellis told the agent his testimony on the document
was unnecessary since Rick Gates would testify.
Mueller’s prosecutors skewered
Manafort in their opening statement
Tuesday afternoon, accusing Manafort
of being a “shrewd” liar and making
millions of dollars off of his consulting
work in Ukraine then hiding the money
in foreign bank accounts.
Judge Ellis, a Reagan appointee, interrupted Mueller’s
prosecutor, Asonye,
who told jurors that Manafort owned
several homes, acquired real estate in New
York and Virginia, bought expensive cars
and watches, and even got a $15,000
jacket “made from an ostrich.”
“It isn’t a crime to have money and be
profligate with your spending,” Judge Ellis
said to Asonye.
Manafort faces a maximum of 305 years in prison if he is
convicted on all charges.
 President Trump defended Manafort in a
pair of tweets Wednesday morning,
pointing out Manafort is being treated
worse than Al Capone, a mob boss and
killer.

 Mueller’s Prosecutors Take A Beating
From Judge Ellis For Fixating On Manafort’s Expensive
Suits “Let’s Move On, Enough Is Enough”
By Cristina Laila
August 1, 2018, 3:01 Pm

at the Investiture ceremony of Stuart Nash to be Associate Judge at the
D.C. Superior Court. June 4, 2010. Photo by Diego M. Radzinschi/THE
NATIONAL LAW JOURNAL.
Judge T.S. Ellis, a Reagan appointee,
became very irritated with Mueller’s
prosecutors Wednesday as they droned
on an on over Manafort’s lavish lifestyle
and his expensive suits.
Mueller’s thugs used the same tactic, shaming Manafort
for $15,000 coat made of Ostrich in Tuesday’s opening
statement which drew a rebuke from Judge Ellis.
“It isn’t a crime to have money and be
profligate with your spending,” Judge Ellis
said to Mueller’s hack lawyer, Asonye.
On Wednesday Mueller’s lawyers took a beating from
Judge Ellis after they went into detail about Manafort’s
spending habits, whining about his expensive suits and
how he paid for them via wire transfer–as if that’s
somehow illegal.
At one point, Judge Ellis became so
irritated with Mueller’s thugs fixating on
Manafort’s spending habits, he
300
interrupted the prosecutor and sternly
said, ““Let’s move on. Enough is
enough. They can add.”
Via WaPo:
Ronald Wall tallied for the jury the total
amount that Paul Manafort spent on House
of Bijan items, including a Limited Edition
black titanium Royal Way watch — with
crystal, an invoice noted.
Between 2010 and 2012, Wall told the jury that Manafort
spent more than $334,000 at the luxury menswear store.
He then walked the jury through documents showing that
the invoices were paid from Cyprus-based bank accounts
held by Global Highway Limited, Yiakora Ventures
Limited and Lucicle Consultants.
House of Bijan in Beverly Hills bills itself as “the world’s
most expensive store.” Ronald Wall, its chief financial
officer and prosecutors’ fourth witness Wednesday, took
the stand to testify that Paul Manafort was a top client of
the luxury clothier.
“I knew he was a very good customer,” said
Wall.
Prosecutors did not focus simply on the purchases
themselves, but rather, how Manafort paid for them — via
wire transfers. Like the previous witness, Wall said many
customers paid with credit cards, checks and sometimes
cash, but it was unusual for a client to pay with wire
transfers, as Manafort regularly did at House of Bijan.
Wall testified that House of Bijan was an exclusive
retailer: its clothing is only sold in its store and the items
are made in Italy by less than two dozen companies the
retailer has built a relationship.
Judge Ellis grew impatient with
Mueller’s prosecutors for shaming
Manafort for buying expensive suits via
wire transfer and said, “You have to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
he signed tax documents to show he
 knowingly didn’t represent his true
income.”
Manafort spent nearly $104,000 in 2010, and more than
$444,000 in 2013. Added up, the figures show Manafort
spent more than $929,000 on luxury menswear during the
five-year period, paid for from foreign bank accounts.
Judge T.S. Ellis III continued to show impatience with
questions from prosecutors that he believed were intended
merely to display Manafort’s lavish lifestyle. For instance,
he allowed Katzman to describe Manafort’s annual
spending but not to add up the total for jurors.
“Let’s move on. Enough is enough,” Ellis said
sternly. “They can add.”
Katzman testified that Manafort’s payments came from
accounts under the name Yiakora Ventures Limited and
Global Highway Limited, both Cyrpus-based accounts
prosecutors will argue were controlled by Manafort.
301
Judge Ellis also denied Mueller’s prosecutor Asonye’s
request to show the jury photos of Manafort’s expensive
suits. That’s totally irrelevant, Judge Ellis said, once again
scolding Mueller’s thug.
In another huge blow to Mueller’s team, Judge Ellis ruled
that prosecutors cannot enter an invoice for proposed home
renovations, WaPo reported.
“All this document shows is that Mr.
Manafort had a lavish lifestyle, he had a
nice home with a pool and a gazebo — it’s
not relevant,” Judge Ellis said.
Judge Ellis knows Mueller and his hack lawyers are trying
to ‘get Trump’ by squeezing Manafort; so far he’s not
impressed with the prosecutors’ approach on day two of
the Manafort trial.
Manafort faces a maximum of 305 years in prison if he is
convicted on all charges.
 Fact-Checking Jim Acosta:
Yes, CNN Does ‘Suck’
Derek Hunter | Contributor
3:36 PM 08/01/2018
On today’s edition of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast, we
fact-check CNN’s Jim Acosta, who at President Trump’s
rally in Florida Monday, complained the crowd was
chanting “CNN sucks.” Jim did a little fact-checking and
declared that CNN does not, in fact, suck.
We fact-check his fact-check.
Jim even lies about the president and White House
officials dodging journalists this week. It’s tough to tell if
Acosta is oblivious to how bad CNN is or if he truly
believes his own reflection in the mirror. Whatever the
.
302
case, we take him to task and play the audio, which is
hilarious, so you can decide for yourself.
The trial of Paul Manafort has started. Trump’s one-time
campaign chairman is facing more time than murderers get
for what amounts to tax evasion and incorrectly filling out
loan forms. If convicted of everything, Manafort could
face more than 300 years. This, of course, is a strategy by
special counsel Robert Mueller to get Manafort to “flip” on
the president, but Manafort says there’s nothing to flip on.
It is weird how everyone in Hillary Clinton’s orbit was
granted immunity for their testimony and cooperation, no
matter what they may have been involved with, but not in
the Trump investigation, isn’t it? We discuss.
Facebook has purged some pages on it website because it
believed they could be Russian front groups trying to
meddle in the 2018 election. These were left-wing groups,
anti-Trump groups, and more, which begs the question, if
Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet, why would he try to
damage him in the midterms? The answer is obvious,
Trump is no one’s puppet; Putin is just looking to cause
trouble for any U.S. president. Russians want to sow
discord, and it seems to be working.
 Pence Attempts To Quell Democrats’
Fears Of Election Meddling Ahead Of Midterms
Vandana Rambaran | Foreign Policy Reporter
3:38 PM 08/01/2018
Vice President Mike Pence assured Americans on Tuesday
that he acknowledges Russia interfered in the 2016
presidential elections, and said future attempts at meddling
“would not be allowed.”
“Any attempt to interfere in our elections is
an affront to our democracy and it will not
be allowed,” Pence said at a Department of
Homeland Security cyber security summit
in New York. “The United States of
America will not tolerate any foreign
interference in our elections from any
nation state.”
His reassurance comes after Facebook revealed it
discovered at least 32 fake accounts that were
orchestrating an effort to politically influence the outcome
of the midterm elections with misleading information.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed his
concern for the integrity of upcoming elections on Tuesday
at a Democratic lunch.
“The administration is not doing close to
enough,” Schumer, a Democrat, told
reporters, according to Reuters. “I’m
.
303
hopeful we can do better and be more
shielded from the Russians in 2018 than in
2016 but it’s going to take some real effort
by both the government and the private
sector.”
Although DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen echoed Pence’s
remarks at Tuesday’s summit, declaring that meddling
would not be tolerated, Democrats complain the White
House has yet to outline a plan to combat cyber-security
breaches in American elections, according to reports
by ABC News.
Nielsen addressed issues of cyber-security in regard to
election meddling in June at the Capitol Hill National
Security Forum and expressed that both DHS and state
governments have taken steps to protect voter integrity in
the wake of the 2016 election.
“States and localities has initial
responsibilities, primary responsibilities, for
the systems but DHS has been
extraordinarily proactive in providing tools
and resources to help enable them to
combat these potential hacking,” Nielsen
said.
“We have to make sure there’s integrity in
the votes,” she continued. “So whatever the
state localities do to protect their systems,
whether they use outside vendors, or use
the tools provided by DHS or have organic
capability, they have to have a way of
ensuring voters that their votes were
counted and counted correctly. So it could
be paper ballots, it could be self-automated
machines, but on the back-end, no matter
what happens, we have to make sure we
have the integrity.”
 Trump: Manafort Is Being Treated
Worse Than Al Capone, Despite No Collusion
Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent
4:04 PM 08/01/2018
President Donald Trump once again invoked Al Capone in
reference to the ongoing prosecution of his former
campaign manager Paul Manafort in a Wednesday tweet.
Trump last invoked the Capone case in reference to
Manafort’s prosecution by special counsel Robert Mueller
.
304
in a recent interview with Sean Hannity of the Fox News
Channel:
“Paul Manafort, who clearly is a nice man.
You look at what is going on with him. It’s
like Al Capone. On a case that I guess is
very old. It’s just a sad thing. It’s a very sad
thing for our country,” Trump said in the
interview.
Trump referenced the lack of charges brought on Manafort
by Mueller involving illegal lobbying for the Ukrainian
government. None of the charges brought against Manafort
involve Russian interference in the 2016 presidential
election, which was the reason for Mueller’s appointment
in the first place.
 Hundreds Of Far Left Protesters Line Up Outside Of
Senator’s Office To Stop Meeting With Kavanaugh

Update: The Hill reported Capitol Police arrested 74

protesters Wednesday who were charged with crowding,

under D.C. Code § 22–1307.

On Wednesday, over 200 unhinged lefty

was expected to arrive for his meeting
with Thune.
The protesters were told the meeting
will no longer take place in Thune’s
office.

The activists [AstroTurf] stood silently in the hallway as

they raised their fists in protest of Kavanaugh.

Many protesters wore black t-shirts with the words “Be a

Hero” written on the front.

The objective was to prevent Judge Kavanaugh from

meeting with Thune as part of his road to confirmation.

The meeting happened anyway.

Senate Democrats are also escalating
their battle to delay Brett Kavanaugh’s
confirmation to the Supreme Court.

The Dems are requesting a long paper trail of Kavanaugh’s

work going back to the Bush Administration.

Kavanaugh previously served 12 years on the U.S. Court

of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit which means he is vetted,
however, the Democrats are still trying to delay his
confirmation using several different strategies.

Rosenstein is also up to no good.

In an unusual request, Deputy Attorney General

Rod Rosenstein asked federal prosecutors to help review
documents of Kavanaugh.

 CNN Loves Hiring Former Obama Officials
Amber Athey | Media And Breaking News Editor
4:35 PM 08/01/2018
CNN personalities have repeatedly attacked Fox News for
allegedly being a mouthpiece for President Donald Trump,
pointing to the number of Fox anchors and pundits who
have joined the administration over the past year and a
half.
CNN has its own extensive history, however, of being a
revolving door for the Obama administration and even
masquerading former Obama officials as impartial
journalists.
CNN’s current chief national security correspondent Jim
Sciutto served in the Obama administration as the senior
adviser to the U.S. ambassador to China.
Despite having an obvious conflict of interest in foreign
policy reporting — particularly on issues relating to China
— Sciutto is often presented on the network as an
objective reporter. He has reported on the Iran Deal, the
United States’ deal to save China’s ZTE, and other
international stories without CNN ever indicating that he
served in the Obama administration.
307
Sciutto’s bias has made its way into his reporting before.
In 2017, Sciutto claimed that the Obama administration
cared more about “civilian casualties” than the Trump
administration.
In February of 2018, Sciutto falsely claimed that the
Steele dossier was first funded by Republicans and refused
to issue a retraction or correction after TheDC pointed out
his mistake. In May, he made sure to point out that the
“closest US allies” opposed Trump leaving the Iran Deal.
John Kirby, who served as a State Department
spokesperson and Pentagon press secretary during the
Obama administration, appears on CNN as a military and
diplomatic analyst.
Kirby is always identified by his former titles while
appearing on the network, but CNN often fails to identify
his connection to Obama.
Kirby was never identified as an Obama official during a
July 11 appearance as he slammed President Donald
Trump for not denouncing Russia strongly enough and for
attacking NATO allies.
While Kirby’s role is to provide political commentary and
not objective reporting, it is odd that he is afforded free
rein to attack the president without viewers ever being
informed about his political associations.
CNN justice reporter Laura Jarrett boasts a familial
connection to the Obama administration — her mother is
Valerie Jarrett, former senior adviser to Obama. Jarrett’s
biography indicates she had no reporting experience prior
to joining CNN yet the network tasked her with covering
Trump’s Department of Justice.
According to the Media Research Center, CNN has
conducted at least seven interviews with Valerie Jarrett
wherein the host never disclosed that her daughter works
for the network.
CNN’s cozy relationship with the Obama White House has
worked in the opposite direction as well. In 2009, Sasha
Johnson, a senior political producer for the network, left to
join the administration as a press secretary for the
Department of Transportation. During her time at CNN,
Johnson covered the 2008 Obama campaign extensively.
“After 10 1/2 years at CNN, which included
three presidential campaigns, I am ready
for a new challenge and ready to fulfill
another career goal – the opportunity to
work in public policy,” Johnson said in an
email to colleagues at the time of her
departure.
Similarly, former CNN war correspondent Aneesh Raman
quit his job and became an intern for the Obama campaign
in 2008, eventually serving as Obama’s domestic policy
speechwriter.
“To bear witness, up close to that kind of
historic campaign and to be a part of it,
even in a small way, was something
singular,” Raman said in an interview with
AsAmNews.
In addition to serving as “objective” reporters and analysts,
other Obama officials joined CNN to provide partisan
political commentary. Former senior adviser for strategy
and communications Dan Pfeiffer, former press secretary
Jay Carney, former national security adviser Samantha
Vinograd, and former deputy national security adviser
Tony Blinken have all served as CNN contributors or
analysts at one time or another.
CNN also recently hired former Director of National
Intelligence James Clapper after he was suspected of
leaking classified information to its journalists.
.
308
According to a House Intelligence report released in
April, Clapper acknowledged speaking with CNN reporter
Jake Tapper about the infamous Steele dossier while he
was serving as DNI. This contradicted earlier claims about
whether or not he had spoken to media about the topic, and
Clapper still later denied the House Intel report.
Clapper was present at a meeting with President Donald
Trump wherein then-FBI director James Comey briefed
the soon-to-be president about the existence of the dossier.
The fact that Trump was briefed on the dossier was later
leaked to CNN.
Clapper’s quick pick-up by CNN gave the appearance that
he was being rewarded for allegedly handing CNN a scoop
on a hot news item.
Former FBI agent Josh Campbell similarly raised
eyebrows when he joined CNN after very publicly leaving
the FBI and blaming his resignation on President Donald
Trump. Campbell served at the FBI from 2008 to 2018.
Campbell’s closeness with former director Comey and his
relative inexperience in the field raised questions as to
whether CNN hired him to provide real expertise or to give
the network more ammo against President Trump. Those
questions were not assuaged by Campbell’s FBI goodbye
flyer, which said his role at CNN was to “defend the
bureau.”
CNN only describes Campbell as a “law enforcement
analyst.”
In case the heavy mix of reporters and commentators
affiliated with Obama weren’t enough, CNN also hosts
former Obama senior adviser David Axelrod’s podcast,
“The Axe Files.”
CNN employs a few former Trump aides, such as Jason
Miller, a Trump transition team member, and Marc Short,
the former director of legislative affairs. They also have
their fair share of “Never Trumpers” in Ana Navarro, a
Republican who voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016
election, and Amanda Carpenter, a former aide to Sen. Ted
Cruz.
CNN does not currently have an updated, full list of
contributors to the network, but it seems no administration
past or present has as much representation at CNN — who
claims to be an impartial, unbiased network — than the
Obama White House.
CNN did not respond to a request for comment.

 Renegade Republican Whitman
Wants Trump To Retire
David Krayden | Ottawa Bureau Chief
4:51 PM 08/01/2018

Former Gov. Christine Todd Whitman (R-NJ) kept up her

attacks on President Donald Trump Tuesday, insisting it
was time for her “fellow Republicans” to urge the
president to remove himself from office.

As the Washington Examiner notes, Whitman, who admits

she supported Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, told
CNN that Trump’s news conference with Russian
President Vladimir Putin convinced her that Trump must
go.

“Talking to [Putin] is fine. Nothing against

that,” Whitman told the broadcaster. “But to
fawn over him, the way the president did —
set aside our allies to throw everything into
uncertainty for the people who are on our
side.”

The mainstream media widely castigated Trump for his

Helsinki summit with Putin and the subsequent news
conference at which I Trump questioned Russia’s
involvement in 2016 election meddling. Some news outlets
even suggested it was “treasonous” to question the U.S.
intelligence community.

 Acosta Called Trump Rally A ‘Sad Scene’ —
Ben Shapiro Reminds Him Why America Hates The Media
Benny Johnson | Reporter At Large
5:23 PM 08/01/2018

President Trump held a raucous rally in Tampa, Florida,

Tuesday night. Thousands of supporters packed the arena
to hear Trump hammer his critics in Congress and also
attack the media.

During his speech, Trump stopped to attack one of his

favorite targets, the media in the room. The president
heckled the press as “fake news” and the audience reacted
accordingly.
In response, conservative firebrand Ben Shapiro called
Acosta out for his hypocrisy, noting multiple times that
conservatives have been violently attacked by liberals
while the greater media remained silent.

One of the favorite targets of the audience was CNN’s Jim

Acosta, who tweeted multiple videos of the crowd
mocking him and blaming Trump for the vitriol, saying,

“I’m very worried that the hostility whipped

up by Trump and some in conservative
media will result in somebody getting hurt.”

MAGA hat stolen and was called a racial slur by a leftist
while sitting peacefully in a Texas restaurant), Acosta said

The only person obstructing is Robert Mueller.

Rudy Giuliani said it took Mueller’s team 10 days to
respond to the letter.
Mueller agreed to allow President Trump to respond to
some questions in written format, however; he still wants
Trump to sit down for a face-to-face interview.
NO WAY.
Mueller is harassing President Trump and distracting him
from fulfilling his daily presidential duties with his
unconstitutional witch hunt which stems from Hillary’s
phony Russia dossier.
The President slammed Mueller and his
corrupt witch hunt in a series of tweets
Wednesday.

The Special Counsel wants to ask President Trump about

obstruction of justice which is completely absurd.

Last week it was reported Mueller

moved on to investigating President
Trump’s tweets in a wide-ranging
obstruction of justice inquiry.
Robert Mueller is an inferior official and President Trump
owes him no explanation as to why he fired James Comey
or privately discussed replacing AG Sessions.

ABC News reported:

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office

Trump about obstruction of justice, sources
close to the White House tell ABC News.
According to sources, the president learned
within the last day that the special counsel
will limit the scope of questioning and
would like to ask questions both orally and
written for the President to respond to.
According to sources familiar with the
President’s reaction Wednesday morning,
that was the genesis for his early morning

his strongest attacks against the federal

 This Is The Timeline For
The Kavanaugh Confirmation
Kevin Daley | Supreme Court Reporter
6:33 PM 08/01/2018
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is expected to
appear for hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee
in September, followed by a final confirmation vote in
early October, according to GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley of
Iowa.
Grassley, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, told
conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that he hopes
Kavanaugh will join the Court by the start of its coming
term.
“All I can tell you at this point — and maybe
a week from now I can be more specific —
[is] sometime during September,” Grassley
said. “But the earlier, the better, and if
these documents coming from the archives
and from George W. Bush’s presidential
library and other things get up here
soon…we can have a hearing.”
“If we could get this all done by October 1st
when the Supreme Court starts its new fall
session, [that] would be ideal,” he added.
“But I think we can get it done soon after
that if we don’t get it done by October 1st.”
A hearing in August does not appear likely, at least at this
juncture, because the Senate has scheduled confirmation
.
315
votes on a battery of Trump appeals court nominees, and is
working to pass appropriates bills.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has threatened
to schedule the confirmation vote in immediate proximity
to the November election, to maximize political pressure
on vulnerable Democrats, while keeping Democrats out of
their home states during a crucial stretch of the campaign.
Grassley submitted a request for documents relating to
Kavanaugh’s work as a lawyer in the Bush administration
on July 27. Lawmakers will review those records in the
coming weeks, hoping the legal guidance he provided to
White House officials will offer insights into his
jurisprudential views.
In addition to his White House counsel work product,
Senate Democrats also want access to documents
Kavanaugh handled or generated as staff secretary. The
GOP says those records aren’t relevant to the review
process, since the staff secretary largely plays an
administrative role, as opposed to a policy role.
Senate Democrats submitted their own records request to
the Bush presidential library on Tuesday. It does not
appear the library will honor the appeal.
“The Republican majority has cast aside
Democratic wishes for openness and
transparency and has made a partisan
request for only a small subset of Judge
Kavanaugh’s records,” Schumer said. “It is
such a break from precedent that you have
to wonder: What are the Republicans
hiding about Judge Kavanaugh’s record?”
Kavanaugh’s cumulative White House paper trail is
believed to run over one million pages.
 Ex-CIA Chief John Brennan Panics!
Calls On Congress To Warn POTUS Of “Dire
Consequences” If Mueller Probe Ended
By Cristina Laila

Brennan then called on Congress to warn the President of

“dire consequences” should he decided to end the Mueller
investigation.

Brennan tweeted: Individuals of conscience who believe

in rule of law should denounce this blatant effort to
obstruct justice. As Mr. Trump’s desperation to protect
himself grows, he could turn words into actions, prompting
a Constitutional crisis. Congress must warn Trump of dire
consequences.

Former CIA Director-turned-Twitter-troll

John Brennan once again fired off a
warning shot to President Trump
Wednesday.

President Trump unleashed on Mueller’s corrupt probe

Wednesday morning, saying AWOL Sessions should stop
the rigged witch hunt right now.

Trump tweeted: ..

This is a terrible situation and Attorney

General Jeff Sessions should stop this
Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it
continues to stain our country any further.

Brennan previously warned the President about Mueller’s
investigation saying,

“Stay tuned Mr. Trump.”

John Brennan was involved in this attempted coup which

is why he’s lashing out on his Twitter account.

In fact, Chairman Nunes is currently investigating

whether John Brennan perjured himself in a public
testimony about the dossier.
John Brennan responded to President Trump by accusing
him of obstructing justice by stating AG Sessions should
stop the rigged witch hunt.

 TUCKER CARLSON Calls On GOP Lawmakers To Read
Entire Unredacted FISA Memo On House Floor (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
August 1, 2018, 8:26 Pm
On Wednesday night Tucker Carlson
called on Republican lawmakers to go
to the floor of the US House of
Representatives and read all of the FISA
memos in their unredacted form.
The deep state FBI released the FISA
documents to Republican lawmakers
ten days ago but the pages were highly
redacted to protect the identities of
corrupt Obama and intelligence
officials.
Tucker called on the lawmakers to do
what Dianne Feinstein did and read the
entire memo on the House floor.
In December 2014 Senator Dianne
Feinstein (D-CA) unilaterally released
the CIA Torture Report on terrorist
detainees on the Senate floor.
Tucker Carlson: I just wanted to say this. We spoke to
the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee a
minute ago. Devin Nunes of California is an honorable
person… He has read the whole text of the application for
.
319
the FISA warrant by the government, the Obama
administration to spy on Carter Page and the Trump
Campaign. He says the parts that have been redacted do
not in any way threaten American national security. It is
merely butt-covering on the part of the bureaucracy. We
ask the obvious question which is why don’t you just tell
us what’s in it and let the public decide, let the public
judge. In the commercial break I got an interesting text,
I’m going to read it on the air from a very informed person
in Washington. And I’m quoting,
“Dianne Feinstein entered the CIA torture
memos into the record of the senate and
was protected by the speech and debate
clause. Any Republican with access to the
FISA warrant could do the same. Complete
immunity awaits them. I believe that to be
true… I will say one more time, if you know
what’s in the redacted portions of that
application please send it to us. The public
has a right to know.

This is CNN.

Paul Manafort was thrown into solitary confinement

This is why no one trusts CNN…
They are mocking a man who is facing
305 years in prison — because the Deep

advisor for spending a lot of money on

awaiting his trial for alleged crimes that have nothing
whatsoever to do with Russian collusion and CNN is
shaming Manafort for spending money on suits.
Judge Ellis even ripped into Mueller’s hacks for droning
on and on about Manafort’s lavish lifestyle.
“It isn’t a crime to have money and be
profligate with your spending,” Judge Ellis
said to Mueller’s hack lawyer, Asonye.
VIDEO:

Erin Burnett giggled as CNN featured the coat and said,

“This is what a $15,000 ostrich coat can get

you–Gloria this has got to be one of the
ugliest things I’ve ever seen.”

CNN’s Gloria Borger responded by saying she wouldn’t

buy it for her hubby and that the “price is high.”

According to who? CNN and Mueller’s thugs?

What the hell does an ostrich coat have to do with Trump

colluding with the Russians during the 2016 election?

Gloria Borger then went on to mock Manafort for spending

hundreds of thousands of dollars on custom suits, which of
course is completely normal for a wealthy businessman to
do, but CNN thinks it’s somehow unusual and suspect.

Then Gloria Borger got petty and said she never thought
Manafort’s suits looked great.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper was first to pounce on Performance in Helsinki
Trump’s July 16 summit with Putin as he immediately
declared it “one of the most disgraceful performances by
an American president.” His colleague Don Lemon, on his
July 17 show, brought up the prospect of trying Trump for
“treason.” The New York Times’ Michelle Goldberg,
appearing on ABC’s This Week, also questioned the

“Increasingly to believe that the President
isn’t compromised requires such a leap of
faith that requires so many coincidences
and inexplicable behavioral choices. I think
the truth is probably what is right in front of
us, which is that Donald Trump was kind of
a con man, a third tier failed businessman
whose fortunes were rescued by Russian
oligarchs....He became president with the
direct intervention of Putin. He sees his
fortunes as inseparable from Putin’s. We
don’t know if Putin is his handler, his hero

Trump? Has Trump been compromised?’
All of those people, those experts, those
reporters, they are looking at the fact

even sinister.”

Putin “Weaponized” Trump to Do His Bidding
“You know, in bio technologies, there’s a

 GET READY AND PRAY TO GOD —
The Time Is Now — The Imposters Are Preparing The
Final Act In Their Coup D’état
By Jim Hoft
August 2, 2018, 9:39 Am
To all TGP readers and all American
patriots we are informing you to prepare
yourselves. This country is at a
precipice. America is either going to be
overrun by a power hungry Deep State
or it will survive one of the biggest
attacks to its existence since the Civil
War.
We must all be vigilant and prepared.
The acts of the Deep State are as
appalling as they are criminal.
An unelected and elected power hungry minority is
attempting a coup d’état of the Trump administration.
Americans voted for Donald J. Trump for President in
2016 because they were tired of the corruption in
Washington D.C. as much as Americans were fearful of
losing the country that they loved. Americans were in
fear the country that we knew was morphing into
something entirely unrecognizable and demented.
Liberals, Democrats, elites, globalists and the Deep State
thought Donald Trump was a “clown” as they plotted to
hand over the country to Obama’s choice – Hillary
Clinton.
Under President Obama the US was burdened with
trillions in new debt, doubling the amount when he was
elected and increasing the US debt to GDP ratio by 40% to
over 100%. Healthcare was taken under the government’s
wing. Foreign affairs were a mess. Everything Obama
policy was a disaster.
331
ISIS was roaming the Middle East and Iran was given
billions through a farcical agreement. The borders were
open and the US was bringing in large numbers of
undocumented immigrants from terrorist nations. The US
was giving away everything in trade deals and providing
billions in a fake climate change agreement.
But the most devastating cancer of the
Obama years was the proliferation of
the Deep State.
A small group of evil unelected officials
known as the ‘Deep State’ were given
the reigns of the US Justice system,
State Department and intelligence
agencies.
They banned together to pardon Hillary Clinton of her
many crimes leading up to the election while spying on
Donald Trump, his campaign and his administration.
President Trump won the election but this only enraged the
Deep State to remove the duly elected President from his
rightful position. The Deep State conjured up the fake
Russia collusion story to provide cover for illegally spying
on Trump during the campaign.
Although they let Hillary off for her many crimes in an
effort to elevate her to the Presidency, they had no
intention of doing the same for Donald Trump. He is their
enemy. In a way it is a blessing that he won the election,
because this miracle has led to Americans to understand
the Deep State for what it is – corrupt, criminal and
unseen.
We now have reached that moment –
America will be free or it will become
another failing exercise in the
chronicles of human history.
Deep State – its many actors including former President
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Democrat and Republican
Senators, Congressmen and judges, the FBI, DOJ, the
corrupt Mueller gang and all their players in and out of
government – have created a “witch hunt” that is reaching
its climax. They and their corrupt and dishonest media
have put the pieces in place to dethrone President Trump.
Their hopes lie in winning the upcoming
2018 election so they can impeach a
man for no reason other than he is not
one of them.
More false and inflammatory
accusations are upcoming.
The corrupt and conflicted Mueller team will unveil their
lies soon. Who will be next – Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka
Trump, Jared Kushner, the President himself?
These people created a farcical and unconstitutional
investigation, there is nothing keeping them from doing
more damage to the country. AG Sessions turned out to be
the modern day Benedict Arnold. Rosenstein too is a joke
if not for the seriousness of the situation. They’ll do
anything. They’ve proven this already and the liberal
media will oblige them in promoting their lies.
President Trump has few options. He can’t fire Rosenstein
or Mueller, who should be under investigation themselves,
.
332
because of the political damage that the MSM will lay on
him if he does. He can’t currently bring his case to court,
because then his Supreme Court nominee will never be
approved. He can rely on a few good men in Congress to
assist in highlighting the criminal Deep State. But their
efforts may be too slow and ineffective before the
election. If the Democrats win the House they will
impeach and stop all investigations into their many
criminal and unconstitutional acts.
Ultimately the American people will solve the issue of the
Deep State.
Perhaps no time since the Civil War has
the country reached this pivotal point.
The Founders predicted a time like this
when they created the 2nd Amendment.
Prepare yourselves and PRAY.
Ask for another miracle to keep America
the shining beacon on a hill.
 Bannon Says Trump Should Fire
Rosenstein If He Doesn't Provide Documents
In 72 Hours
By Niall Stanage
08/02/18 10:10 AM EDT
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is “clearly
obstructing justice” and should be fired if he does not
produce documents sought by Congress, President
Trump’s former chief strategist Stephen Bannon has told
The Hill.
Trump should order Rosenstein to turn over all documents
sought from the Department of Justice within 72 hours,
Bannon said.
“If he doesn’t do it in 72 hours, he’s fired.
I’d fire him.”
Bannon spoke to The Hill on Wednesday, amid a renewed
press from Trump and his allies to strike back against the
legal challenges confronting the president.
Conservatives in the House threatened to impeach
Rosenstein last week before pulling back on the effort after
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) announced his opposition. It
was clear the group did not have the votes to win an
impeachment vote on the floor, but it is possible they will
return to the issue in September — or push to hold
Rosenstein in contempt if documents are not provided to
Congress.
On Wednesday, the president caused an uproar with a
tweet calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to “stop
this rigged Witch Hunt right now” — a reference to the
probe led by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Critics said the tweet itself could be considered part of an
effort by the president to obstruct justice.
Bannon, a controversial figure who left the White House a
year ago and was derided by Trump after the publication
of Michael Wolff’s exposé “Fire and Fury: Inside the
Trump White House,” insisted that there would
eventually be a commission set up to look at anti-Trump
malfeasance by intelligence agencies during the initial
investigations — codenamed "Crossfire Hurricane" —
into ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.
The president’s allies have long alleged that the
investigation has been marked by bias, pointing to
333
examples such as text messages between FBI agents Peter
Strzok and Lisa Page.
But the Mueller investigation has already resulted in more
than 30 people being indicted. Five of those people have
pleaded guilty. The first trial to result from the probe —
that of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort
— has just begun.
Bannon, who sees himself as one of Trump’s true believers
despite the turbulence between the two men, does not
appear to share the view that Mueller should be removed,
however.
In contrast to the president’s rhetoric, Bannon called
Mueller “a good man, a combat-veteran Marine.”
Bannon said the probe should be “brought to a conclusion”
and that there was “obviously no collusion” — but
suggested that Mueller should issue a report before the
midterm elections, which could then be released to the
public.
“Let the American people, on Nov. 6, let
them decide,” Bannon insisted, referring to
the midterms. “They are going to say that is
too thin a reed to hang anything serious
on.”
Asked about Trump’s explosive tweet about Sessions,
Bannon said:
“I think the president’s just expressing his
frustration.”
Recent weeks have seen escalating attacks from Trump’s
legal and political allies — including his lawyer Rudy
Giuliani — on Mueller.
The ferocity of those attacks — and some shifting
storylines, such as Giuliani’s new insistence in television
interviews that collusion is not a crime — have fueled
speculation that Trump could be feeling under pressure.
Bannon would not be drawn on whether collusion is a
crime, and offered a wry assessment of the former New
York City mayor's efforts.
“I love me some Rudy, but I understand
Rudy has good appearances and some
maybe that are not of the [same] Rudy
quality,” he said.
In any event, he insisted, Team Trump’s pushback against
Mueller
“is definitely not an admission of guilt. I
think it’s an admission of frustration.”
Bannon expressed similar insouciance about Michael
Cohen, the president’s longtime fixer who is reportedly
willing to tell Mueller that Trump knew in advance about a
June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower.
A Russian lawyer attended that meeting along with Donald
Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Manafort.
Bannon said he had “known Michael for years” but not
well.
.
334
“When I first took over the [Trump]
campaign, I was pretty direct with him that
there couldn’t be any involvement in the
campaign, and he really shouldn’t be down
on the 14th floor,” Bannon said, referring to
the campaign’s offices within Trump
Tower.
Bannon explained this decision by asserting that he didn’t
want more “intermingling” than necessary between
Trump’s presidential campaign and the Trump
Organization.
Still, asked if he thought Trump might have been told
about the Trump Tower meeting in advance, Bannon
responded,
“No, not at all.”
Bannon for now insists the focus should stay on
Rosenstein and the Department of Justice.
“There is a cover-up right now,” he
contended.
More details from Bannon’s interview with The Hill will be
published later today.
 Washpost Reporter: ‘American People
Aren’t Interested In’ Trump’s Policy Accomplishments
By Kyle Drennen
August 2, 2018 11:47 AM EDT
On Thursday, MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson cited a
former Trump administration official criticizing cable
news coverage that
“wants to spend hours and hours dissecting
the latest Trump tweet and yet they barely
notice when we achieve long-sought
conservative policy goals.”
While Jackson claimed that such policy achievements did
get air time, Washington Post Senior Political Reporter
Aaron Blake argued that “the American people aren’t
interested in” the president’s substantive accomplishments.
“There’s also the president not only getting
on the campaign trail, but continuing to do
– his administration at least – the work that
they wanted to do from day one, which is
dismantling, for example, Obama-era
regulations,” Jackson told viewers during
her 10 a.m. ET hour show. She then
quoted from an Axios article:
...our friend Jonathan Swan, who writes
about how cable news, according to a
former official he was talking to, “‘wants
to spend hours and hours dissecting
the latest Trump tweet and yet they
barely notice when we achieve long-
sought conservative policy goals’ – like
adding work requirements to Medicaid
and stripping federal funds from
Planned Parenthood.”
In the piece, Swan, along with co-authors Amy Harder and
Sam Baker, declared: “While many of us have been
335
distracted by Rudy Giuliani’s latest legal theories — and
President Trump’s latest tweets — the Trump
administration is making two big moves that will get him
closer to his goal of erasing President Obama’s biggest
policies.”
Responding to the anonymous “former official,” Jackson
complained: “I do take exception to that, only because if
you watch the show, former official, you know we cover
those things in our Swamp Watch and Under the Radar
segments.” So either she trashes conservative policies as
part of her “Swamp Watch” segment or she admits that the
topic has barely gotten any coverage by featuring it in the
“Under the Radar” segment.
Moments later, Blake chimed in:
“And I don’t even think it’s necessarily
that the media isn’t focusing on these
things. I think it’s that the American
people aren’t interested in them, related
to this Russia stuff.”
Of course, why would anyone be interested in actual
public policy when the media offer up non-stop headlines
about scandal and Russian collusion?
However, the Post reporter did fret over the
notion that the Russia investigation was an
effort by Trump to “say, ‘Look over here,’
while they’re doing the whole dismantling of
the entire federal government over here.”
Blake added: “...liberals are saying that.
They’re saying, ‘Hey, look at what’s going
on over here. Let’s not get distracted by
this.’”
To summarize the liberal media narrative: The American
people don’t care about any of Trump’s policy
accomplishments, and besides, every policy Trump is
enacting is awful anyway.
Here is a transcript of the August 2 exchange between
Jackson and Blake on MSNBC Live:
10:10 AM ET
(...)
HALLIE JACKSON: There’s also the president not only getting on
the campaign trail, but continuing to do – his administration at
least – the work that they wanted to do from day one, which is
dismantling, for example, Obama-era regulations. Axios has a
little something on that from our friend Jonathan Swan, who
writes about how cable news, according to a former official he
was talking to, “‘wants to spend hours and hours dissecting the
latest Trump tweet and yet they barely notice when we achieve
long-sought conservative policy goals’ – like adding work
requirements to Medicaid and stripping federal funds from
Planned Parenthood.”
Now, whether this is a strategy to like, you know, say, “Look over
here,” while they’re doing the whole dismantling of the entire
federal government over here. That’s – it sounds like the
administration is saying that, but also liberals are saying that.
They’re saying, “Hey, look at what’s going on over here. Let’s not
get distracted by this.”
But when you have a president like this, who is constantly
making news, constantly stoking controversy, it makes it that
much harder for everything else to break through.
(...)

I do take exception to that, only because if you watch the show,

former official, you know we cover those things in our Swamp
Watch and Under the Radar segments. But there is this idea that
even as the president is clearly spending a lot of time talking and
tweeting about exactly this, there are other cogs in the wheel
continuing to do the work on the policy side.

AARON BLAKE [WASHINGTON POST SENIOR POLITICAL

REPORTER]: And I don’t even think it’s necessarily that the
media isn’t focusing on these things. I think it’s that the American
people aren’t interested in them, related to this Russia stuff. And I
think the president recognizes that.

 Trump Reportedly Shuns Attorneys’
Advice, Wants To Interview With Mueller
Scott Morefield | Reporter
12:24 PM 08/02/2018

On his end, Mueller has agreed to accept some of President

Trump’s answers in writing, the Times reports, but the
special counsel still insists on the interview topics
including potential obstruction of justice.

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani told reporters Wednesday

that the president’s team was

“in the process of responding to their

proposal.”

On Wednesday, Trump took specific aim at the Mueller

probe in several tweets, one of which called for Attorney
General Jeff Sessions to end the investigation.
President Donald Trump wants to sit down for an
interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, according
to a Wednesday New York Times report.

Although his legal team is advising against it, Trump

reportedly believes the interview will allow him to clear
his name, and is renewing a push to allow Mueller to sit
down and question the president.

Previously, Trump had stated his desire to interview with

Mueller, but also his intention to follow the advice of his
attorneys.

 Privately, Senior Intel Officials Support
President Trump Revoking Security Clearances
Of Brennan And Clapper
By Cristina Laila
August 2, 2018, 1:17 Pm
Privately, senior Intel officials back
President Trump revoking security
clearances of former CIA Director John
Brennan and former Intel Chief James
Clapper.
Last month, the White House announced President Trump
was considering pulling security clearances of several
Obama-era Deep State operatives including Brennan,
Clapper, Rice, McCabe and Comey.
Senior Intel officials, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity told Real Clear Investigations that Obama’s
Intel Chiefs used intelligence as a political weapon and
must be rooted out.
The Intel officials also said the reason why Brennan,
Clapper and Comey are so vociferous in their attacks
against the President is because they know the details of
who unmasked General Flynn and leaked his intercepted
phone call to the Washington Post in January of 2017, a
felony.
Via Lee Smith of Real Clear Investigations:
President Trump has been criticized for
politicizing the intelligence community by
threatening to strip the security clearances
of former top officials including John
Brennan and James Clapper. But
numerous past and present senior
intelligence officials say the Obama
338
administration started that politicization —
and revoking the clearances of those who
abuse the privilege for partisan purposes
may help right the ship.
“As is often the case with the Trump
administration, the rollout of the policy is
bad, but the idea driving the policy is
sound,” said one senior intelligence official
who, like others interviewed for this article,
spoke to RealClearInvestigations only on
condition of anonymity. “Under some
Obama-era intelligence chiefs, intelligence
was used as a political weapon. We need
to root that out, not reward it.”
Some sources say former CIA director
Brennan, ex-director of national intelligence
Clapper and others with security
clearances were emboldened to pursue
political agendas through the anti-Trump
media in a climate of impunity created by
the Justice Department’s failure to
prosecute leaks attending Donald Trump’s
election. Notable among the leaks, they
said, was a top unnamed official’s
“unmasking” of Trump national security
adviser Michael Flynn in a January 2017
Washington Post column by David Ignatius,
sourced to classified intercepts of Flynn’s
contacts with the Russian ambassador.
Leaking such classified information is a
felony.
“The very people who are now
talking the most know the
details of how the Flynn
intercept was leaked,” a senior
U.S. official told
RealClearInvestigations. “They
wouldn’t be out talking like that
if they’d been interviewed by
the FBI.” The Department of
Justice declined to comment.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in February the
DOJ is aggressively investigating many leaks, including
the General Flynn leak to WaPo.
Both Brennan and Clapper now have gigs with MSNBC
and CNN which prompted Senator Rand Paul to ask them
if they are monetizing their security clearances.
The House Intel report released in April revealed former
DNI Chief, James Clapper leaked the dossier briefing to
CNN’s Jake Tapper.
across. To top DOJ personnel, and the
White House. It could also go to John
Brennan and James Clapper.”
As investigative reporter, Paul Sperry
points out, Brennan’s fingerprints are all
over Spygate:

Brennan routinely attacks President Trump from his

Twitter account, which further proves he has a partisan
agenda and may use his security clearance and contract
with anti-Trump media to harm the Trump administration.

Both Brennan and Clapper are caught in perjury traps over

their denial in promoting Hillary’s phony dossier; they are
both corrupt liars and should be stripped of their
clearances.

The Flynn leak is the hot button for

Brennan, Clapper and Comey, a senior
Intel source reiterated to Real Clear
Investigations.

It appears that’s what happened with the Flynn leak. As a

veteran reporter on the national security beat told RCI:
“After the Washington Post broke the Flynn story, a
colleague called an Obama administration source and got
an explosive story like that confirmed in 15 minutes. Even
reporters at second-tier publications got the story
confirmed, and quickly, because so many people in the
administration knew about it.”

But where that leak started is a different

issue. “There are only a few people the
leak could have come from,” one senior
U.S. official told RCI. “The Flynn
intercept doesn’t go to rank-and-file FBI
agents. It goes through the top rungs up
to Comey, and from there it can only go

 WATCH=> Princeton Prof Stephen Cohen DESTROYS
Unhinged #Nevertrumper Max Boot On
Russia Conspiracy (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
August 2, 2018, 1:27 Pm

Princeton professor and Russian expert Stephen Cohen
went on Anderson Cooper with unhinged #NeverTrumper
Max Boot earlier this week.
The discussion quickly escalated when Max Boot accused
Cohen of being a Russian sympathizer because he would
not cheer on war with Russia.
Professor Cohen destroyed him.
Stephen Cohen: I don’t d defamation of people. I do
serious analysis of serious national security problems.
When people like you call people like me, and people
more eminent than me, apologists for Russia you are
criminalizing diplomacy and detente and you are the threat
to American national security. End of story. Why do you
have to defame someone you don’t agree with? They used
to do that in the old Soviet Union. We don’t do that here…
This kind of hyperbole, this “attack on America” suggests
we need to attack Russia!

Stephen Cohen: I have no idea what is talking about. He

wants Trump to threaten Russia? Why would be threaten
Russia?

Max Boot: (hysterically) Because they’re attacking us!

Stephen Cohen: I’ve been studying Russia for 45 years…

Max Boot: And you’ve been consistently an apoligist for

Russia in those 45 years.

 Why Won’t They
Release The Damn FISA Memo?
Derek Hunter | Contributor
1:30 PM 08/02/2018
On today’s edition of The Daily Caller Podcast, we
discuss the FISA warrant application memo that was
partially released last month and talk about why the whole
thing wasn’t given to the American people. What are they
hiding?
The memo is classified, but was released in July in a
heavily redacted form. But we still have no idea what’s
under the blacked out portions of the document, which
makes up a huge percentage of it. Why aren’t we allowed
to know what it says? If the president is a Russian puppet,
wouldn’t you think Democrats would have leaked it? If it’s
a nothingburger showing this whole investigation was
based on the bogus Steele dossier, wouldn’t you think
Republicans would have leaked it? What’s going on?
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes was
on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Wednesday night calling
.
341
for Trump to declassify the memo, but Nunes himself
could go down to the floor of the House or Representatives
and, under the absolute protection of the Speech or Debate
Clause of the Constitution, enjoy complete and total
immunity from prosecution and tell us what the classified
portions of the memo say. He hasn’t. Neither has
Democratic ranking member Adam Schiff. Why not? Are
both sides playing this to their political advantage? Schiff
says the memo makes clear there was more to this
investigation than the Steele dossier, Nunes says there
isn’t. Both can’t be true. And both could tell us without
any legal ramifications, yet neither will. We talk about
why.
We also talk about how the media is covering the Paul
Manafort trial. He’s on trial for things that happened long
before he’d met Donald Trump, but every media story
about it mentions how Manafort was Trump’s campaign
chairman and the charges came out of the “Russian
collusion” investigation. Why? Why mention something
completely unrelated to the case when talking about the
case? To give a false impression, obviously. We explain.
And there’s a short Jim Acosta update at the end of the
show because he’s on a victim tour of CNN shows after
having “CNN sucks” chanted at him in Florida. CNN will
spend more days covering their hack being booed and they
spent on a liberal trying to assassinate as many Republican
Members of Congress as possible last year. CNN moved
on from that story before Congressman Steve Scalise was
safely removed from life support.

 ‘Morning Joe’: Trump’s Lawyers Afraid
He’s ‘Too Dumb’ To Make It Through Mueller Interview
Virginia Kruta | Associate Editor
1:32 PM 08/02/2018
Joe Scarborough said President Donald Trump’s lawyers
are scrambling to keep him from sitting down with special
counsel Robert Mueller because “he’s too dumb” during a
Thursday morning segment of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Scarborough was responding to reports that the president
was pushing back against his attorneys, who have
repeatedly advised him against interviewing with Mueller.
In order to get the president to agree to an interview,
reports circulated early in the week that Mueller had
offered to have his investigators limit the scope of any
questions they might ask in any potential meeting. But
Trump’s attorneys have continued to advise against a
direct interview.
There has also been some discussion of written questions
and answers, but that could also be problematic.
To the table on “Morning Joe,” the reason was obvious.
Scarborough opined,
343
“So, it’s obvious Donald Trump’s lawyers
have no confidence in him. They don’t think
he’s smart enough to sit across the table
…”
Cohost Mika Brzezinski weighed in, as well, saying,
“They’re scared he’s going to spew out
something.”
Scarborough continued,
“They think he’s too dumb to do it. I’d be
insulted if I was him, but he can hire the
lawyers he wants to hire.”
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz has
addressed this particular topic on a number of occasions,
agreeing with the attorneys and saying that the president
should under no circumstances sit down with Robert
Mueller. The reason, he said, had little to do with Trump’s
intelligence.
Dershowitz explained to CNN’s Anderson Cooper on
Wednesday,
“If you have the president saying
something that he believes is truthful, and
then you have another witness, Cohen or
Manafort or one of the others contradicting
him without regard to who is telling the
truth, you could get a perjury prosecution.”
Dershowitz continued,
“So I’ve often advised clients who have
insisted to me that they will only tell the
truth. I say to them, ‘but it is possible that
any other witness will tell the truth different
than yours?'”
 Chaos In Briefing Room As Reporters
Clash With Sarah Sanders – Jim Acosta Calls For
Protest At White House (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
August 2, 2018, 2:02 Pm

Chaos erupted inside of the press
briefing room Thursday as reporters
clashed with White House Press
Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
CNN’s resident clown Jim Acosta tried to pressure Sarah
Sanders by asking her to publicly declare that the press is
not the “enemy of the American people” as President
Trump often says.
Of course President Trump is referring to the fake news
media because all they do is lie–yes, the liars in the main
stream media are the enemy of the American people.
Sanders refused to bow down to Acosta and the press pool
erupted into chaos.
On journalist said of Sarah Sanders after the briefing,
‘She’s going to get us killed’ reported the Daily Mail.
Another reporter lashed out at Sarah Sanders and brought
up the five people killed at the Capital Gazette, even
though the gunman had a longtime vendetta against the
newspaper.
Ivanka Trump knows that. I don’t know why
her father doesn’t, and I don’t know why
this press secretary doesn’t. I mean, she
got yelled at at a restaurant in Virginia. I’m
sorry about that. I feel badly for her that
happened. That comedian at the
correspondent’s dinner said some
unpleasant things about her. I’m sorry
about that. She ought to hear some of the
things that were said to me the other night
in Tampa … It would be nice if we all
lowered the temperature a little bit but at
the very least, I think we should all be able
to agree on one thing, and that is the press
is not the enemy of the people. Fellow
Americans are not the enemy of fellow
Americans, and, you know, forgive me for
going on a rant, but I think that they’ve lost
sight of that here at this White House.”
Acosta also whined from his Twitter
account.

‘Tell that to the five dead journalists in

Maryland.’
Jim Acosta then went on a long winded
rant and called for a protest at the White
House after the briefing.
“I’ll say that the press is not the enemy of VIDEO:
the people,” Acosta said. “And, you know, I
think maybe we should make some bumper
stickers, make some buttons, you know,
maybe we should go out on Pennsylvania
Avenue like these folks who chant ‘CNN
Sucks and ‘Fake News,’ maybe we should

“Because I’m tired of this,” he went on.

 Should The Russia Probe End Now?
President Trump Thinks So
Stephanie Hamill | Video Columnist
2:25 PM 08/02/2018

President Donald Trump is calling on Attorney General

Jeff Sessions to end the Russia Probe. The DC’s Stephanie
Hamill and Vince Coglianese discuss this and other big
stories from the week in this episode of “The DC Today.”

“The DC Today” is not your typical news show. First,

anchors Hamill and Coglianese present the news as most
typical news outlets would. They read the headlines with
the same sterile takes like an average corporate cable news
broadcast. But then, Hamill and Coglianese jump in front
of the “No Bull Cam,” where they tell you what they really
think about what’s going on in the crazy world of politics.

 Joe Scarborough Says Fox News
And Republicans Are ‘Pro-Russian Dupes’
Loyal To Vladimir Putin
Nick Givas | Media And Politics Reporter
2:25 PM 08/02/2018

Joe Scarborough implied Fox News and Republicans are United States intel services — they’ve got
“pro-Russian dupes” on “Morning Joe” Thursday and said the goods on Putin.”
they are doing the bidding of Russian President Vladimir
Putin. WATCH:

Scarborough mocked President Donald Trump’s tweeting

habits before accusing “another cable network” of being in
the tank for Russian interests.

“I think a little more rest would make

[Trump] less frantic in the morning when he
wakes up,” Scarborough said. “But I think
the most telling thing right now is the fact
that there are even a handful of
Republicans and some pro-Russian dupes
on another cable network who are now not
doing the bidding of Donald Trump and
trying to end the Mueller investigation —
but are now doing the bidding of an ex-
KGB spy.”
Scarborough accused House Majority Whip Steve Scalise
of doing “Putin’s bidding” and said the GOP is trying to
cover for the Russian president, by ending the special
investigation.
“Mueller has uncovered the fact that Putin
tried to infiltrate the United States
democracy and undermine it,” he
continued. “The United States military, the
.
“So, now, any American that’s patriotic
would say, ‘okay, we need to find out more
about this. How did he try to undermine
and destroy our democracy?’ Instead there
are actually some dupes … some run the
freedom caucus. And then you’ve got the
majority whip, who are doing Vladimir
Putin’s bidding.”
“They’re trying to cover up for Vladimir
Putin by ending the trial,” he concluded. “I
don’t think that’s — covering up for ex-KGB
agents that are murderers, I don’t think
that’s big in Louisiana or in North Carolina.”

 Eye Roll: Jim Acosta Loses His Mind,
Throws Fit In New Tussle With
WH’s Huckabee Sanders
By Curtis Houck
August 2, 2018 3:03 PM EDT
Just a reminder: CNN is straight up lying to you if any of
their more prominent figures ever say they don't want to be
the story because everything is about them. And
Thursday’s White House Press Briefing perfectly
illustrated that as chief White House correspondent Jim
Acosta lost his mind when Press Secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders wouldn’t fall into a trap he had laid for
her.
The latest rumble at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue began
with Acosta noticed how Sanders “did not say that the
press is not the enemy of the people” when she listed off
a few examples of media bias (more on those later).
“And I think it would be a good thing if
you were to say right here at this
briefing that the press, the people who
are gathered in this room right now,
doing their jobs every day, asking
questions of officials like the ones you
brought forward earlier, are not the
enemy of the people. I think we — we
deserve that,” Acosta triumphantly
asserted.
Sanders began to answer, but CNN’s Captain America
insisted he interrupt:
HUCKABEE SANDERS: If the President has made his position
known, I also think it's ironic —
ACOSTA: Would you — would you mind telling us —
HUCKABEE SANDERS: I'm trying to answer your question.
348
ACOSTA: Okay. Well —
HUCKABEE SANDERS: I politely waited and I even called on
you despite the fact that you interrupted me when I calling [sic]
on your colleague.
ACOSTA: Well, you were attacking our news organization,
[REPORTERS GROAN] which is why I interrupted.
HUCKABEE SANDERS: I’m trying.
ACOSTA: But if you — if you finish, if you would not mind letting
me have a follow-up, that would be fine but —
HUCKABEE SANDERS: It’s ironic, Jim, that not only you and the
media attack the President for his rhetoric when they frequently
lower the level of conversation in this country repeatedly.
Sanders promptly took him to the cleaners by correctly
pointing out that the liberal media frequently stoop
“to personal attacks without any
content other than to incite anger” with
examples including personal attacks
against Sanders such as claiming that she
“should be harassed as a life sentence,
that I should be choked, I.C.E. officials
are not welcomed and personal
information is shared on the internet.”
Sanders continued as reporters groaned and Brian Karem
could be heard screeching from the back of the room:
When I was hosted by the Correspondent's
Association, of which almost all of you are
members of, you brought a comedian up to
attack my appearance and called me a
traitor to my own gender. [REPORTERS
GROAN] In fact, as I know — as far as I
know, I am the first press secretary in the
history of the United States that’s required
Secret Service protection. [BRIAN KAREM
SHOUTING — ACOSTA GESTURES HIM
TO STOP] The media ratchets up the
verbal assault against the President and
everyone in this administration and
 certainly we have a role to play, but the
media has a role to play for the discourse
in this country as well.
Acosta angrily responded by demanding his fellow
reporters stop talking so he could continue his tirade. He
reiterated that he didn’t hear Sanders state the journalists
are not the enemy of the people and offered more spin by
downplaying the threats against Sanders’s life as an
example of how
“we all get put through the ringer, we all
get put in the meat grinder in this town,
and you’re no exception.”
The back-and-forth concluded with more of the same
before Acosta’s colleagues soldiered on with more
professionalism than Acosta could ever show:
ACOSTA: But for the sake of this room, the
people who are in this room, this
democracy, this country, all of the people
around the world are watching what you
are saying, Sarah, and the White House for
the United States of America, the President
of the United States should not refer to us
as the enemy of the people. His own
daughter acknowledges that and all I'm
asking you to do, Sarah, is to acknowledge
that right now and right here.
HUCKABEE SANDERS: I – I appreciate
your passion. I share it. I’ve addressed this
question. I’ve addressed my personal
feelings. I am here to speak on behalf of
the President. He has made his comments
clear.
This exchange was set off by one Sanders had earlier with
NPR’s Sarah McCammon in which she wondered that
Trump made of daughter Ivanka’s statement that the media
are not the enemy of the people.
Sanders promptly nuked that questions, citing the most
recent network Trump study by Rich Noyes that
“90 percent of the coverage on him is
negative despite the fact that the
economy is booming, ISIS is on the run,
and American leadership is being
reasserted around the world.”
To be clear, our study only examined the evening
newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC.
Sanders also called out CNN’s Jeff Zeleny for falsely
asserting that the President has been taking questions even
though Zeleny himself was present for the President’s joint
349
press conference on Monday with the Prime Minister of
Italy.
The relevant transcript from August 2's White House Press
Briefing:
White House Press Briefing
August 2, 2018
1:49 p.m. Eastern
SARAH MCCAMMON: Ivanka Trump made
two statements this morning that are odds
with positions of her father. She said the
media are why are not the enemy of the
people and also called family separation at
the border a low point. What does the
President think of those statements?
(....)
MCCAMMON: And on the press being the
enemy of the people or not?
SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS: The
President is rightfully frustrated. 90 percent
of the coverage on him is negative despite
the fact that the economy is booming, ISIS
is on the run, and American leadership is
being reasserted around the world. Just
this week, the media refused to cover his
remarks in Florida highlighting effort on
workforce development. In fact, the pooler
for the press said there was no news made
despite the fact the governor of the state
joined with dozens of business across the
state of Florida to announce thousands of
new jobs. That may not be news in
Washington, D.C. But I can assure you it's
news in the state of Florida that people that
didn't have a job before this President took
office have a better opportunity and an
opportunity to move forward. That's actually
real news and something that people in the
state of Florida and across this country
appreciate and that was totally ignored. Not
only that before, a journalist on CNN
claimed that the President hadn't taken
questions in over a week despite the fact
that same journalist in a live shot from the
two and two press conference that the
President had with the Prime Minister of
Italy just moments after making that
accusation. With this sort of misinformation
and lack of interest that’s so pervasive in
the media, it’s completely understandable
for the president to be frustrated.
(....)
JIM ACOSTA: I wanted to follow up on
Sarah's question from NPR. She asked you
about Ivanka Trump's statement that the
press is not the enemy of the people, and
she asked you whether or not the press is
the enemy of the people. You read off a
laundry list of your concerns about the
press and things that you feel like are
misreported, but you did not say that the
press is not the enemy of the people and I
think it would be a good thing if you were to
say right here at this briefing that the press,
the people who are gathered in this room
right now, doing their jobs every day,
asking questions of officials like the ones
you brought forward earlier, are not the
enemy of the people. I think we — we
deserve that.
HUCKABEE SANDERS: If the President
has made his position known, I also think
it's ironic —
ACOSTA: Would you — would you mind
telling us —
HUCKABEE SANDERS: I'm trying to
answer your question.

that you interrupted me when I calling [sic]

HUCKABEE SANDERS: I’m trying.
ACOSTA: But if you — if you finish, if you
would not mind letting me have a follow-up,
that would be fine but —
HUCKABEE SANDERS: It’s ironic, Jim,
that not only you and the media attack the
President for his rhetoric when they
frequently lower the level of conversation in
this country repeatedly. Repeatedly, the
media resorts to personal attacks without
any content other than to incite anger. The
media has attacked me personally on a
number of occasions, including your own
network. Said I should be harassed as a
life sentence, that I should be choked.
350
I.C.E. Officials are not welcomed and
personal information is shared on the
internet. When I was hosted by the
Correspondent's Association, of which
almost all of you are members of, you
brought a comedian up to attack my
appearance and called me a traitor to my
own gender. [REPORTERS GROAN] In
fact, as I know — as far as I know, I am the

everyone in this administration and
certainly we have a role to play, but the

ACOSTA: And, Sarah, if you don’t mind —
hold on — if I may follow up, excuse me,
you did not say in the course of those
remarks that you just made that the press
is not the enemy of the people. Are we to
take it from what you just said, we all get
put through the ringer, we all get put in the
meat grinder in this town, and you’re no
exception and I am sorry that happened to
you. I wish that had not happened. But for
the sake of this room, the people who are
in this room, this democracy, this country,
all of the people around the world are
watching what you are saying, Sarah, and
the White House for the United States of
America, the President of the United States
should not refer to us as the enemy of the

to acknowledge that right now and right

 Judge Napolitano Predicts
Paul Manafort Will Not Break Or
Turn Against President Trump
Nick Givas | Media And Politics Reporter
3:50 PM 08/02/2018

‘You’re the guy who pulled all these tricks

against the IRS.'”

WATCH:

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano

predicted former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort
will hold fast and not turn against President Donald
Trump, because he has nothing to offer special counsel
Robert Mueller’s team.

“Rick Gates was Paul Manafort’s business

partner for 15 years. And he was the
deputy campaign manager for President
Trump during the summer of 2016, when
the meeting happened with the
Russians,” Napolitano said on “Fox &
Friends” Thursday.
“This shows how the government can use
witnesses who flip, by providing them with
information in secret,” he continued. “By
telling this stuff to the grand jury but by not
putting him on the witness stand because it
may open up a can of worms. This may
force Manafort’s lawyers to put Gates on
the witness stand, if they want to say,
.
Napolitano said Manafort has been stuck in solitary
confinement for months and would have already broken if
he had any information he could trade with the
prosecution.
“Manafort has basically said through his
lawyers, ‘You guys have indicted me three
times. I got two trials. I’ve been living in
solitary confinement for two months.
Nothing will break me because I have
nothing to give you,'” he concluded. “That’s
the message that we’re getting this week.”

 O’Donnell: Trump ‘Appeared
To Commit A Crime In Public’
Geoff Harbaugh | Contributor
4:26 PM 08/02/2018

Donald Trump said he could shoot

someone on Fifth Avenue and get away
with it, he has been preparing his voters for
this day. And he has been preparing the
Republican Party for this day, and he has
been preparing the American news media
for this day. And the president’s plan
appears to have worked. He has
successfully brainwashed his voters.”

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell opened his show

Wednesday night by calling Republican voters
“brainwashed,” and asserting “the president appeared to
commit a crime in public.”

O’Donnell started his show telling listeners

“Today is an historic day, a truly historic

day, in the Trump presidency, in this
country. It is an historic day in the 229-year
history of the American presidency,
because today we did really arrive at the
Fifth Avenue moment.”
Earlier Wednesday, Trump tweeted that Attorney General
Jeff Sessions should end Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s
investigation into Russian interference in the 2016
election.

WATCH: Later in the program, O’Donnell made the case that the
tweet was “nothing short of jury tampering.”

He brought on former Assistant Watergate Special

Prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks to lay out the case for jury
tampering.

O’Donnell said, “On day two of Paul Manafort’s trial, the

president did something we have never seen any other
president do. He deliberately, willfully, and with pre-
meditation, interfered with that trial.”

The host then flashed this Trump tweet on the screen.

O’Donnell then played the famous clip of Trump joking he

could “shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and
not lose any voters.”

Following the clip, O’Donnell explained to his audience,

“Today was that day. Today the president

appeared to commit a crime in public. And
for the last two-and-a-half years since
353
After reading part of the tweet he said,
“So there’s the president of the United
States telling the Paul Manafort jury that
what they are witnessing is a hoax.”
“I think he’s using a public forum to send a
message to the jury that he should not
have his former campaign chair convicted
of anything.”

Wine-Banks later added,

“I think the words that you just read, are

really a message to them (jurors) in the
same way. I think the Arpaio pardon was a
message to witnesses — you don’t have to
cooperate, don’t worry about it, you can be
in contempt of court, and I’ll pardon you. So
I think he’s sending a message.”

‘Powers Of Persuasion’ Won’t Save Him
From Bob Mueller

“We know where the president’s head is at.

Two, he knows that Mueller is looking at his
tweets for evidence of obstruction. Three,
he knows that Sessions has already
recused himself. Which is the source of
great frustration. So that order just digs
himself in a deeper hole.”

WATCH:

CNN commentator John Avlon said President Donald

Trump’s “powers of persuasion” haven’t worked on North
Korea and won’t save him from special counsel Bob
Mueller.

“I appreciate the President’s belief in his

own powers of persuasion,”Avlon said on
“New Day” Thursday. “It’s unclear it’s
worked in the case of North Korea and it’s
unlikely to work in the case of the special
counsel and Robert Mueller.”
“Whatever fantasy scenario it is where
special counsel just comes out of the “New Day” co-host David Gregory tried to understand
meeting and says ‘You know what folks? Trump’s thinking and the strategy behind his tweets, but
We give up.’ Ain’t going to probably Avlon said it’s impossible to apply reason to what the
happen.” president is doing.

Avlon said Trump’s tweets may put him in a tight spot if “I think you’re applying a degree of strategy
Mueller decides to use his words against him. to his thinking, that maybe is better
explained by impulse,” Avlon concluded.
“Yesterday’s tweet is significant though, to
the extent that first of all, Twitter does apply

 DNI: 2018 Russian Efforts Not At
2016 Level, Not Aimed At One Particular Party
Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent
6:32 PM 08/02/2018
 Russian efforts to influence the 2018 midterm
elections are not at the levels seen during the 2016
election, according to Director of National
Intelligence Dan Coats.
 Russia has tried to disrupt U.S. elections “through
decades,” but it stepped up its effort in 2016, Coats
said.
 Russian efforts in 2018 have not tried to benefit
one particular party, he said.
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats revealed that
Russian efforts to interfere in the 2018 midterm elections
is not yet at the levels of 2016 election and that they are
not trying to help any particular party, in a press briefing
Thursday.
357
“Relative to what we have seen for the
midterm elections, it is not the type of
robust campaign that we assessed in the
2016 election. We know that through
decades Russia has tried to use its
propaganda and methods to sew discord in
America,” Coats admitted. “They stepped
up their game big time in 2016. We have
not seen that kind of robust effort from
them so far.”
Coats warned, however,
“as I mentioned publicly, just a few weeks
ago, we’re only one keyboard click away
from finding out something that we don’t —
haven’t seen up to this particular point in
time. But right now, we have not seen that.”
The DNI continued that Russian efforts are not directed to
one particular party.
“What we see are the Russians are looking
for every opportunity, regardless of party,
regardless of whether or not it applies to
the election, to continue their pervasive
efforts to undermine our fundamental
values.”

 FACT CHECK: Trump Says
3.5 Million People Have Been Lifted Off Food Stamps
Emily Larsen | Fact Check Reporter
August 2, 2018

Trump appeared to mention the increase in the number of

people receiving SNAP under President Barack Obama.

“More than 10 million additional Americans

President Donald Trump said in remarks at the White
House recently that 3.5 million Americans have been lifted
off food stamps.
Verdict: True
The number of people receiving Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits declined by 3.6
million since Trump was elected president and 3.1 million
since he assumed office.
had been added to food stamps, past
years,” he said earlier in the speech.
There were indeed 10.7 million more SNAP recipients in
January 2017, Obama’s last month in office, than in
January 2009, his first month in office.
Trump incorrectly stated that the program experienced the
largest decline in participation in decades under his watch,
however.

Fact Check: Under Obama, the number of people receiving SNAP

Trump mentioned the decline in food stamp recipients,
along with a number of other statistics that highlighted the
health of the economy, after the Bureau of Economic
Analysis announced that gross domestic product grew an
estimated 4.1 percent in the second quarter of 2018.
“More than 3.5 million Americans have
been lifted off food stamps – something
that you haven’t seen in decades,” he said.
benefits peaked at about 47.8 million in December 2012
following increased enrollment during and after the Great
Recession. By November 2016, there were 43.2 million
people on SNAP – a decline of about 4.6 million.
President George W. Bush also saw a decline of 3.9
million SNAP recipients from November 2005 to July
2006 following a spike in enrollment due to Hurricane
Katrina. Enrollment increased overall by about 14.7
million while he was in office, though.

SNAP benefits, formerly known as food stamps, are The number of SNAP recipients under Trump temporarily

at approved retailers. States run and administer the federal government made Disaster SNAP, or D-SNAP,
program, while the federal government funds the benefits. benefits available for those affected by Hurricane Irma in
Florida and Hurricane Harvey in Texas.
Trump didn’t specify the timeframe in which 3.5 million
Americans were lifted off SNAP benefits in his remarks
Friday, but he has previously cited a decline in food stamp
enrollment using the November 2016 election as the
starting point.

The most recent figures from the Department of

Agriculture show that the number of Americans receiving
SNAP benefits has declined by 3.6 million since Trump
was elected president. There were 43.2 million people on
food stamps in November 2016 and 39.6 million receiving
benefits in April 2018.

From January 2017, when Trump took office, to April

2018, the number of SNAP recipients declined by 3.1
million people.
360
Some analysts say that lower SNAP participation can be an
indicator of economic health.
“SNAP is a program that is designed to
help people get through difficult times when
they are not working,” Robert Doar, a
senior fellow at the right-leaning American
Enterprise Institute, told The Washington
Post. “It’s taken a long time, but more
people are working now.”
Some of the decline could be due to states returning to
regular requirements for SNAP beneficiaries after the
economy improved.
Federal law limits SNAP eligibility for 18- to 49-year-old
adults without disabilities or dependents to three months in
a three-year period unless the recipient works at least 20
hours per week or participates in a work training or
community service program. States can request waivers to
this time limit for areas with high unemployment, and
many states did so after the Great Recession.
.
361
The left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
(CBPP) estimated that at least half a million individuals
lost SNAP benefits in 2016 because the waivers expired.
Trump’s Fiscal Year 2019 budget proposed implementing
stricter work requirements for SNAP beneficiaries, a 30
percent cut in SNAP funding over the next decade and
restructuring the program so that many recipients receive
boxes of non-perishable food rather than using SNAP
funds to buy food at their local grocery store.
House Republicans approved major changes to SNAP
when they passed the farm bill in June. The bill raises the
age of SNAP recipients subject to work requirements from
49 to 59 and requires them to prove each month that they
are working, among other changes.
The Senate passed a version of the farm bill that does not
include major changes. Congress must now resolve the
differences between the two bills.
 Sean Hannity Pledges To Defend Jim Acosta,
Gets A Reply That His Show Is 'Poison'
By Tim Graham
August 2, 2018 7:28 PM EDT
On his show August 1, Fox News host Sean Hannity
proclaimed to CNN's Jim Acosta that he would defend him
against violence and threats:
"I will be the first person to come to your
defense if I'm there, any one dares to lay a
hand on you." He quoted Acosta decrying
Trump supporters on Twitter: "Just a
sample of the sad thing we faced at the
Trump rally in Tampa. I'm very worried that
the hostility whipped up by Trump and
some in conservative media will result in
somebody getting hurt. We should not treat
our fellow Americans this way. The press is
not the enemy."
SEAN HANNITY:
Jim, I'm a pretty prominent conservative in
the country. Let me say this clearly and
loudly. I want every journalist in this
country, everyone, I don't care who you
work for, to be safe.
And I'll tell you right now, I will be the first
person to come to your defense if I'm there
and anyone ever dares lay a hand on you.
If I was standing there, if I see it happen, I
will be the first person to jump in and fight
on your behalf. Physical violence is never
acceptable to me, nor is it acceptable to the
conservatives I know and respect.
And let me also be clear, if you are a
conservative, and by the way, you ever
threaten anyone, you're not a friend of
mine, you're not a friend of this program,
362
and by the way -- or the conservative
movement of which I'm just a small part of.
He then noted harsh words and threats made to Sarah
Huckabee Sanders, Pam Bondi, and DHS Secretary
Kirstjen Nielsen:
"Jim, did you ever pick up the phone, did
you call Sarah Sanders? Did you call Pam
Bondi? The secretary of state in Florida,
did you call Secretary Nielsen after their
run out of places publicly in a violent --
what looked like could become a violent
situation, if you did, by the way, good for
you."
Hannity also mentioned "nasty" and "scary" rhetoric used
against Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump, even Barron
Trump, to former press spokesman Sean Spicer:
HANNITY: I don't remember Jim Acosta as
the great champion standing up for the first
family or calling them -- would love to know
if you recall them and said, I'm so sorry for
what you've been through.
SEAN SPICER: Well, Sean, look, I'm on a
book tour right now and they love playing
clips about me getting heckled and
intimidated. They think it's funny and
amusing.So, look, I would associate my
comments with your opening monologue.
We have a country that allows people to
express themselves freely and that's what
makes our country great. But at the same
time, I agree with you. There's -- we need a
free and fair press that is robust, but it
should never, ever be under attack with
intimidation or violence.

 Atlantic Writer Surprised Republicans
Not Worried About Future Mueller Report
By P.J. Gladnick
August 2, 2018 8:30 PM EDT
What's the matter with you Republicans? Why aren't you
acting the least bit worried about the upcoming report on
the Russian investigation to be released by Special
Counsel Robert Mueller?
That is the attitude of Atlantic magazine writer Elaina Plott
who can't figure out why Republicans are not in a state of
panic over the future Mueller report. Plott's headscratching
over the lack of Republican concern appeared on August 2
in "Why Republicans Aren’t Planning for the Coming
Mueller Report":
Rumors continue to build in Washington
that a report from Special Counsel Robert
Mueller is set to drop soon. But on and off
Capitol Hill, Republican lawmakers say
there have been no formal discussions on
how to respond—no matter what the
report’s findings may be.
“We’re aware that it might drop soon,”
Representative Mark Walker, the chairman
of the Republican Study Committee, told
me this week, citing “secondhand” chatter
among members. “But nothing has been
said. Or, at least, no one has reached out
to me.”
...The main reason for their silence, they
say? Their constituents don’t seem to
really care.
Could it be that they don't care because, so far, Mueller
and his band of Democrat investigators have uncovered no
evidence of collusion between President Donald Trump
and Russia? Mueller's team didn't report in February and
then again in July that, when he handed down indictments
against Russians, there was evidence of Russian collusion
with any American citizens.
364
Plott continued:
According to interviews with 10 GOP
lawmakers and senior aides, August
recess, when most members head back
home, has illuminated how few of their own
voters feel concerned about Mueller’s
potential findings, if they think about them
at all. As one House chief of staff put it, of
the hundreds of voters he speaks to in his
boss’s state, “maybe one” considers
Russia a “top 10” issue.
Apparently Plott is worried that Republicans are not
worried:
Republicans’ lack of discussion about
Mueller may be reflective of what their
constituents want, but it could make them
vulnerable in the event that the special
counsel’s report uncovers damaging
information about Trump’s campaign. For
lawmakers up for reelection in November, a
damning report would almost certainly
become a go-to cudgel for their Democratic
opponents. Republicans in purple districts,
especially, would face yet another
challenge trying to maintain their allegiance
to this president while assuring more
moderate voters of their independence.
Perhaps some Republican out there would be kind-hearted
enough to at least fake concern over the Mueller's future
report just to alleviate poor Miss Plott's worry that
Republicans are not worried.

 Matthews: ‘Frantic,’ Unstable Trump
Is ‘Like A Ship’s Captain In A Typhoon’
By Curtis Houck
August 2, 2018 9:42 PM EDT
Seemingly running out of things to talk about or ways to
spin how much trouble President Trump found himself in,
MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews compared the
President to a ship captain stuck “in a typhoon” making
America a “Third World” country who’s struggling with
his mental faculties.
“President Trump is acting like a ship's
captain in a typhoon. He braces himself
with accusations against all around him.
He calling the Russia investigation a
witch hunt, the federal government a
villainous deep state, the media, the
enemy of the people. There’s something
nervous in all this, an edge of fear not
seen in the American White House since
the last dark, dank, dog days of
Watergate,” Matthews declared in his
open before an aside about Washington’s
record-breaking wet weather.
As if he could have taped this monologue at any point
since the Special Counsel’s appointment, Matthews ruled
that Trump’s
“[s]et on a collision course with the
Special Counsel’s prosecutors” and
responded by “waging an increasingly
desperate battle as we’ve seen, but the
harder he fights, the more ensnared he
becomes.”
Yeesh. Talk about grasping for straws (unless you’re in
California).
366
During the Hardball Roundtable segment, Matthews
resurrected a past comparison between Trump and The
Caine Mutiny character Captain Queeg. He then channeled
CNN’s Brian Stelter by declaring that
“there’s something going on here”
inside Trump’s mind because “[h]e’s
worried about the typhoon around him
of people coming at him and he’s
attacking everyone.”
Fake Republican and Washington Post columnist Jennifer
Rubin agreed, dubbing the President
“a desperate man” who’s “completely
out of control.”
“I think he’s turning us Third World.
This is the kind of stuff that other
countries would have elections. They’re
not really elections they have to hold.
Do we dare and ask for the results of the
election? Oh no, because someone
won’t like it,” Matthews later added
Closing out the show with his daily “Trump Watch”
commentary, Matthews circled back to Trump’s stability,
diagnosing him as someone who’s
“increasingly growing frantic” with
“actions...those of a man facing some
unclear but imminent danger.”
Here’s more of Matthews’s diatribe. Do your best and try
to follow him:
There’s a sense of desperate nervousness
about him, as if the big woeful attack is
coming and there’s nothing really he can
do to stop it. I say this because of his own
attacks are now going in all directions. It is
a witch hunt that’s coming at him from the
Justice Department Special Counsel. It is
the deep state that is out to get him. It’s the
fake media that’s advancing to report the
verdict. He acts and speaks and tweets as
if all the forces of nature and society are
converging upon him. What can a serious
observer make of this weird behavior by
 the figure elected to head the country in
2016? Is it paranoia? Has the man we see
on camera or the man tweeting so
desperately at the crack of dawn lost touch
with reality? Or has he finally, after all
these wild months, realizing what he’s
unleashed? That all the accepted
measures of truth and justice are now
aligning and to his near and present horror
about to strike with a stark power he’s
before had to confront. I suspect this, for
him, is the stark and awful truth.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Caught in the swamp, let's play Hardball.
[HARDBALL OPENING CREDITS] President Trump is acting like
a ship's captain in a typhoon. He braces himself with accusations
against all around him. He calling the Russia investigation a witch
hunt, the federal government a villainous deep state, the media,
the enemy of the people. There’s something nervous in all this,
an edge of fear not seen in the American White House since the
last dark, dank, dog days of Watergate. Good evening, I am
Chris Matthews in steaming, swamp-like Washington, which has
just been drenched with its heaviest July rainfall in three quarters
of a century. It is wet in this town and steaming. Set on a collision
course with the Special Counsel’s prosecutors, President Donald
Trump is waging an increasingly desperate battle as we’ve seen.
But the harder he fights, the more ensnared he becomes. Case
in point is the President's cavalier tweet in which he explicitly
calls on the Justice Department yesterday to terminate the
Russian probe all together. “Attorney General Jeff sessions
should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now.” It is one of the
most overt efforts that the President has taken to date to shut
down the probe, raising new questions about whether he’s
obstructing justice in broad daylight. Trying to protect the
President, Trump's allies are trying to downplay the significance
of his tweeting, saying that Trump was only expressing his
personal opinion.
367
(....)
MATTHEWS: I think he is getting into a frenzy. I’m thinking of
Captain Queeg, you know? I’m beginning to think, you know,
there’s something going on here. He’s worried about the typhoon
around him of people coming at him and he’s attacking
everyone.
JENNIFER RUBIN: That’s right. I think he is desperate at this
point. He is not the master of his own ship. He sees the polls. He
sees a very good likelihood he’s in the last few months of a
Republican congress. When that changes, all bets are off. He
sees a trial that is proceeding down the emoluments trail. That
means his wealth, his hotels are on the line. He sees horrible
reviews for his meeting with Vladimir Putin, which he thought was
a great success. And he sees Robert Mueller, who simply won’t
go away, all the antics, all the smears, it doesn’t matter to Robert
Mueller. And Trump can't do anything about it. So what is he
doing? He lashes out and you can that it’s instrumental that he’s
doing it in order to pump up his base. But I think this is a
desperate man.
MATTHEWS: Agree.
RUBIN: And I think he’s getting to the point where he’s
completely out of control.
(....)
MATTHEWS: I think he’s turning us Third World. This is the kind
of stuff that other countries would have elections. They’re not
really elections they have to hold. Do we dare and ask for the
results of the election? Oh no, because someone won’t like it.
(....)
MATTHEWS: Trump watch Thursday August 2nd, 2018.
President Trump's behavior is increasingly growing frantic. I’m
sure I’m not the only one to notice this. Each day, his actions are
those of a man facing some unclear but imminent danger.
There’s a sense of desperate nervousness about him, as if the
big woeful attack is coming and there’s nothing really he can do
to stop it. I say this because of his own attacks are now going in
all directions. It is a witch hunt that’s coming at him from the

 SARA CARTER: GOP Lawmakers Demand
Declassification Of Bruce Ohr FBI Interviews
By Cristina Laila
August 2, 2018, 10:13 Pm
Former Deputy Associate Attorney General Bruce Ohr
Lawmakers are demanding the
declassification of the FBI’s 302 notes
on 12 interviews they conducted with
twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr
between December 2016 – May 2017.
The FBI interviews will shed light on Bruce Ohr’s
relationship with Fusion GPS, the oppo research firm his
wife, Nellie Ohr worked for.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is especially
frustrated with the DOJ’s stonewalling as he has been
seeking documents on Bruce Ohr for several months.
Sara Carter reported:
The lawmakers say Ohr’s close relationship
with former British spy and dossier author,
Christopher Steele is deeply troubling. Also
concerning to lawmakers is the fact that
even after Steele was terminated by the
FBI (he worked as a source until he
was fired for “unauthorized disclosure to
the media of his relationship with the FBI”),
Ohr continued to supply documents from
the ex-spy to the bureau.
Lawmakers tell SaraACarter.com that the
interview documents (known as 302s)
should be declassified because they
believe it will reveal the extent of Ohr’s
involvement with Fusion GPS, his
relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS
owner Glenn Simpson, and his
communications with FBI officials
investigating Trump’s campaign.
“Ohr was one of the top officials at DOJ
and they told the court they had terminated
.
369
Steele, but Ohr was continuing to meet with
Steele despite his termination and then (he
was) feeding the information to the FBI,”
said Nunes on Thursday. “It is completely
appropriate for Grassley to ask for these
documents to be declassified.”
Bruce Ohr funneled information from Steele and Fusion
GPS directly to the FBI even after Steele was fired,
according to Nunes’ FISA memo which was declassified
in February.
According to the FISA memo, Bruce Ohr told the FBI
during his interviews that Steele
“was desperate that Donald Trump not get
elected and was passionate about him not
being president.”
Bruce Ohr’s tight relationship with the FBI was confirmed
by Peter Strzok in his Congressional testimony a couple
weeks ago. Peter Strzok admitted Bruce Ohr gave the FBI
extensive material related to Hillary’s phony dossier.
In May, Senate Judiciary Chairman
Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to
the Department of Justice demanding
communications between former
Associate Deputy Attorney General
Bruce Ohr and dossier author, former
British spy, Christopher Steele.
In addition to asking for
communications from Bruce Ohr,
Grassley requested the DOJ arrange for
the former Associate Deputy AG to be
interviewed by Committee staff.
Grassley sent another letter to DAG Rod Rosenstein in
July formally requesting the declassification of the FD-302
interview summaries in which Bruce Ohr relayed his
contacts with Christopher Steele, and requested that they
produce the declassified versions directly to the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
“There is no continuing justification for the
FBI to keep the documents secret,”
Grassley said in his letter.
Sean Hannity warned Thursday evening something big is
coming out that will blow the Russia hoax out of the water.
 CNN, MSNBC Decry Timing Of
Trump’s Commitment To Combat Meddling
By Nicholas Fondacaro
August 2, 2018 10:21 PM EDT

she chided after playing soundbites of DNI Director Dan

Coats and others praising the President. She was skeptical
of the timing as a whole:

Now here’s the bottom line, it is a great

thing if the situation has changed, but why
now? And why is the President all of a
sudden so concerned that he called up
Intel chiefs today and directed them to go
out there publically and contradict what
they had said before from the White House
podium? After all, evidence of attacks on
On Thursday, at the direction of President Trump,
America's election is not new.
America’s national security and intelligence chiefs lined
up and spoke from the White House briefing room to
reassure the country that they were doing everything in
their power to combat Russian meddling in our elections.
It was something the liberal media had been crying about
for a long time, but the liberal media can never be pleased
as CNN and MSNBC hosts decried the timing, moving the
goal post.

During CNN’s OutFront, host Erin Burnett seemed to

suggest the press conference was nothing more than a “big
show” to distract from recent Trump controversies.

“An official telling CNN the President

told his top security officials to step up
and speak about his efforts to stop
Russia from interfering in the U.S.
elections. Now, the only person missing
from the stage was President Trump
himself,” she whined.
Burnett also repeated the misleading and debunked claim
that Russia “hacked the American election.” That
terminology is used by the liberal media to falsely suggest
the Russians went in and changed vote totals to hand
Trump the victory. There was no evidence that that had
occurred.

Burnett was clearly irritated and took out her frustration on
the same national security and intelligence officials the
media treated as sacrosanct for Trump’s criticisms. Their
crime? Complimenting the President.
“You see them all, no sign of the President.
Instead, his cabinet praised the President
for taking on election meddling,” she
fumed.
“Leadership, a priority by this President
regarding election meddling? It almost
seems a bit of an alternate universe,”
370
And on MSNBC’s MTP Daily, host Chuck Todd was
pretty hot under the collar after hearing from the U.S.
officials.
“And their message was essentially the
same. The threat from Russia and other
rogue actors is real, the attacks are
ongoing and persuasive, our democracy is
in the crosshairs, and this administration,
they say, is on top of it,” he scoffed.
After ranting about previous events he found more
preferable for their press conference (one of them was two
days ago), Todd bitterly wondered “why now?” His
explanation? It was designed to distract from the Mueller
investigation:
We're less than 100 days from the
midterms, and why did this happen the day
after the President tweeted about
obstructing the Russia investigation, as his
campaign chief is on trial, as his former
personal attorney is making serious
allegations against him, and as there's a
real risk Mueller could subpoena Mr. Trump
for testimony.
Of course, Todd failed to mention that the trial of Trump’s
former campaign chief Paul Manafort had nothing to do
with either him or election and his former personal lawyer
wasn’t the most trustworthy person.
The White House made it clear that stopping any future
Russian meddling was a top priority for the administration
and the liberal media couldn’t deal with it. Both Burnett
and Todd might have to go see a chiropractor after
Thursday because they may have thrown their backs out
after moving that goal post.
The transcripts are below:
CNN's Erin Burnett OutFront
August 2, 2018
7:00 p.m. Eastern
ERIN BURNETT: Good evening. I'm Erin Burnett. The breaking
news tonight, President Trump to decide within days whether he
will talk to Bob Mueller. Rudy Giuliani telling Politico tonight, that
the President and his team will spend the weekend talking it over
and Giuliani adds they’re on track for a decision in as little as a
week.
This as the President puts on a big show at the White House to
show he actually is fighting election meddling. An official telling
CNN the President told his top security officials to step up and
speak about his efforts to stop Russia from interfering in the U.S.
elections. Now, the only person missing from the stage was
President Trump himself. Instead, they all were there, the
National Security Adviser John Bolton, Dan Coats the DNI,
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, the FBI Director
Chris Wray, and the NSA Chief and Commander of U.S. Cyber
Command General Paul Nakasone. You see them all, no sign of
the President. Instead, his cabinet praised the President for
taking on election meddling.
DAN COATS: The President has specifically directed us to make
the matter of the election meddling and securing our election
process a top priority.
JOHN BOLTON: The President has made it very clear I think
what his priority is.
371
PAUL NAKASONE: I appreciate the leadership and support from
the president.
BURNETT: Leadership, a priority by this President regarding
election meddling? It almost seems a bit of an alternate universe.
It has been more than 18 months since President Trump took
office. That to be exact is 559 days. And we’re just hearing this
now? In fact, just about five months ago it was a different story
about President Trump's role in stopping election meddling from
some of the same people who were on stage praising the
President today.
(…)
BURNETT: To be clear that was February. As far as we know
that was still the case at least until today. Now here’s the bottom
line, it is a great thing if the situation has changed, but why now?
And why is the President all of a sudden so concerned that he
called up Intel chiefs today and directed them to go out there
publically and contradict what they had said before from the
White House podium?
After all, evidence of attacks on America's election is not new.
The New York Times reported two weeks before Trump's
inauguration that he was shown highly classified information that
indicated Vladimir Putin himself was personally involved in
ordering the attacks. The national intelligence community and the
Senate intelligence committee both released reports, declaring
Putin had hacked the American election.
(…)
MSNBC's MTP Daily
August 2, 2018
5:01 p.m Eastern
CHUCK TODD: We begin tonight by trying to make sense of
what happened this afternoon and perhaps more importantly why
it happened and today of all days. Look, we saw a surprise full-
court press just a few hours ago from the White House on
election security.
(…)
And their message was essentially the same. The threat from
Russia and other rogue actors is real, the attacks are ongoing
and persuasive, our democracy is in the crosshairs, and this
administration, they say, is on top of it. SO, is the President?
In fact, they told us the President explicitly directed them to make
this a top priority and to have this briefing. But folks, it's arguably
because of this president that some are wondering why exactly
they chose today to have this press conference and why the
president himself wasn't there if this was so important to him.
Some may wonder why they didn't hold an election security like
this immediately after Trump took office in 2017. Or, they could
have done it when the intelligence community reaffirmed its
conclusions about Russian interference months after he took
office. Imagine the entire new national security team having that
event together back in March or April. Or how about when
Mueller indicted 13 Russian nationals for interfering in our
election—to social media, that would have been a good day to do
it. Or when Mueller indicted 12 Russian agents for hacking the
DNC and the Clinton campaign, that also would have been a
good day to do it. Or when the Senate intelligence committee
issued its recommendations about election security. Or when
Facebook announced it had uncovered new efforts to influence
our elections. You get the drift.
Again, why now? We're less than 100 days from the midterms,
and why did this happen the day after the President tweeted
.
372
about obstructing the Russia investigation, as his campaign chief
is on trial, as his former personal attorney is making serious
allegations against him, and as there's a real risk Mueller could
subpoena Mr. Trump for testimony.
Folks, the bottom line here is this. For some it's going to take
more than one surprise briefing to convince them that what we
heard today about cracking down on Russia has the full backing
of the President, and it was not an effort by a white house
communications team desperate to turn the page from the other
headaches they had been asked about all week.

 Trump Stops When Woman Faints At Rally — His
Immediate Reaction Sends The Crowd To Their Feet
Benny Johnson | Reporter At Large
12:17 AM 08/03/2018

The audience cheered at the offer.

Trump thanked the medical crew and continued the event.

WATCH:

President Trump was in the middle of a raucous speech in

Pennsylvania Thursday night when a woman had a
medical emergency. Trump was in the middle of stumping
for local republican candidates and touting his
administration’s accomplishments when a woman fainted.

Trump stopped his speech immediately, and said,

“Are you okay? You okay? Are they okay?

You’re all right?” The president motioned
for medical assistance saying “We got to
stick with those people — they’ve been
here for many hours, thank you, darling.
Thank you.”
Then Trump had an offer. He told the woman
“If you want to come back after you get a
little bit better, come back. Bring her back.
Make sure she gets better, we will bring her
up here. Beautiful.”
.
Thursday evening was not the first time that President
Trump paused an event to ensure that a medical emergency
was handled. In late April, the president held a rally in
Michigan while the rest of Washington attended the annual
White House Correspondents’ Dinner. During his speech,
he noticed a disruption in the crowd and called for a
doctor, waiting to resume his speech until medical
personnel had found their way to the person in need of
assistance.

 Justice Department Is Silent About
Why It Has Failed To Preserve Comey
Emails In FOIA Case
Richard Pollock | Reporter
1:00 AM 08/03/2018
 The Department of Justice is refusing to preserve
work-related emails on former FBI Director James
Comey’s private account.
 The Justice Department Inspector General
disclosed that Comey used a personal email
account to conduct agency business.
 The Justice Department has refused to turn over
government records on Comey’s personal account,
which The Daily Caller News Foundation and
Judicial Watch requested under the Freedom of
Information Act.
The Department of Justice has refused to take any steps to
preserve work-related emails former FBI Director James
Comey had on a personal account that The Daily Caller
News Foundation and Judicial Watch requested under the
Freedom of Information Act, the conservative watchdog
will file in court Friday.
“There is nothing but complete
silence about why the FBI has failed to take
steps to preserve records responsive to
DCNF’s request,” Judicial Watch attorney
Michael Bekesha will write in the
filing before the U.S. District Court for the
District of Columbia.
Judicial Watch and TheDCNF filed a joint lawsuit under
the Freedom of Information Act on April 25 seeking
records, including emails, Comey produced regarding
meetings and conversations he had with then-President
Barack Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden and a
variety of other political figures.
374
Following the Justice Department Inspector General’s June
2018 report, which disclosed that Comey used a personal
Gmail account for official FBI business, both groups
sought a preservation order to assure no records related to
their FOIA requests were lost or destroyed.
Both groups requested U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly order the
Justice Department to preserve all of Comey’s personal
emails related to the two requests on July 27.
The same day, Kollar-Kotelly took the unusual step of
demanding an expedited reply from the Justice
Department, ordering that the agency respond to the court
by Aug. 1 and to respond to Judicial Watch and TheDCNF
by Aug. 3.
In its reply to the court on Aug. 1, Justice Department
U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu continued to refuse to send an
order to Comey or share its communications with the
former director seeking the preservation of all his personal
emails related to the FOIA requests.
In its opposition to the preservation request, the Justice
Department stated,
“even if they [sic] were a possibility of
responsive records in Director Comey’s
personal email, Plaintiffs cannot meet
their burden of showing that such records
would be lost without a preservation order.”
Comey has been cagey about the number of times he met
with and had conversations with Obama. An email
Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, wrote
and sent to herself on Inauguration Day noted for the
record that Obama, Biden, then-Attorney General Loretta
Lynch and herself met with Comey.
Committee on the Judiciary members Republican Sens.
Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina discovered Rice’s email. The email was at odds
with his June 8, 2017, testimony before the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence, in which he suggested that his
firsthand meetings with Obama were rare.
 “As FBI director, I interacted with President
Obama. I spoke only twice in three years,”
he said. “I spoke alone with President
Obama twice in person (and never on the
phone) — once in 2015 to discuss law
enforcement policy issues and a second
time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late
2016,” Comey’s opening statement to the
Intelligence Committee read.
Bekesha wrote that the FBI’s assistant section chief for
record dissemination “does not state that the FBI formally
requested Comey preserve any agency records or potential
agency records responsive to DCNF’s FOIA request. Nor
does he state that the FBI asked Comey to return any such
records to the FBI.”
375
Judicial Watch, in its May 22 FOIA, asked for any
documents or memoranda written or ordered written
by Comey summarizing his conversations with any of the
following individuals:
Obama, Biden, former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of
California, Democratic Sen. Chuck
Schumer of New York and Republican Sen.
John McCain of Arizona
TheDCNF requested records that identify and describe all
meetings between Comey and Obama on Feb. 16.

 Manafort Investigated But Not Charged For Crimes In
2014 Because Obama Cronies Implicated In Probe

There was a battle to recover more than $40 billion in

stolen funds –

A pair of Internet sleuths have

uncovered information from the 2014

Manafort was tied to former President

Manafort went nowhere because it implicated Obama’s

Based Basterd notes that this is exactly why Obama’s DOJ

left Manafort alone –

Obama’s guys were funnelled $4 million to whitewash a

immunity for five people in the Manafort case. Per CNN
they were –

The five witnesses granted immunity are: James Brennan,

 Judge Ellis Loses His Patience –
Shouts At Mueller’s Prosecutors –
Then Ends Court Early
By Cristina Laila
August 3, 2018, 11:34 Am

Va, at the Investiture ceremony of Stuart Nash to be Associate Judge
at the D.C. Superior Court. June 4, 2010. Photo by Diego M.
Radzinschi/THE NATIONAL LAW JOURNAL.
Judge T.S. Ellis lost his patience with
Mueller’s prosecutors Thursday
afternoon and ended court early after
the govt lawyers made the same
mistake twice.
It’s amateur hour with Mueller’s lawyers!
The Judge even gave Mueller’s lawyers a good finger-
wagging as he shouted at them–this is so good!
Via Law and Crime:
The last witness called to the stand was J.
Philip Ayliff, a certified public accountant
(CPA) at Paul Manafort’s long-serving tax-
preparation agency, Kositzka, Wicks and
Co. (KWC), of Richmond, Virginia. As time
inched along during the last witness’s
testimony, nothing of particular interest
seemed to be occurring at all.
Ayliff was mostly providing foundational testimony
regarding the basic functions of a tax-preparation
company. Prosecutors then moved on to specifics and
attempted to “publish” one of Manafort’s e-file forms.
Judge T.S. Ellis III‘s weariness all but amazed the
courtroom as he denied the request–complete with an
actual and pronounced finger-wag–before
shouting:
381
“No! You move it along!”
Composing themselves again, the prosecution moved
slowly forward before asking Ayliff to define the term
“financial interest.” Ayliff began to answer the question
but was immediately cut off by Ellis who noted that Ayliff
was not a noticed expert. The defense then belatedly
objected, prompting a quick and sarcastic dressing-down
from the judge–but it was again the prosecution’s turn for
scorn.
Static filled the courtroom as the longest bench conference
of the day ensued. Upon returning to Ayliff’s testimony,
the jury learned that the issue had been deferred until
Friday–if ever. Then, Assistant U.S. Attorney Uzo Asonye
asked about another term of art contained on federal tax
forms.
Judge Ellis, who was already standing by this point,
advised Ayliff to wait and announced the court would
recess early.
After the jury left, Judge Ellis explained
to the press what was discussed during
the bench conference.
That is, not only was Ayliff not an expert and not a noticed
expert as necessitated by the Federal Rules of Evidence–
but his testimony had the potential to derail an already-
agreed-upon definition of the term(s) in question. This,
Ellis said, could have “confused or clouded” things for the
jury.
Judge T.S. Ellis, a Reagan appointee, became very irritated
with Mueller’s prosecutors Wednesday as they droned on
an on over Manafort’s lavish lifestyle and his expensive
suits.
“It isn’t a crime to have money and be
profligate with your spending,” Judge Ellis
said to Mueller’s hack lawyer, Asonye.
On Wednesday Mueller’s lawyers took a beating from
Judge Ellis after they went into detail about Manafort’s
spending habits, whining about his expensive suits and
how he paid for them via wire transfer–as if that’s
somehow illegal.
At one point, Judge Ellis became so irritated with
Mueller’s thugs fixating on Manafort’s spending habits, he
interrupted the prosecutor and sternly said,
.
382
“Let’s move on. Enough is enough. They
can add.”
It looks like Mueller’s lawyers fall apart when they’re
actually challenged by an ethical judge; they’re also
getting smacked around in a the junk Russian bot case by
Concord Management’s legal team because they aren’t
prepared to try that case.

they know that Barack Obama, when he

people who cling to their god and their

just always dismissing them, and this is
why it is a very important point. I’m not sure
they care anymore,” she continued.
Conway was talking about the interaction between Sanders
and CNN’s Jim Acosta that occurred during the press
briefing on Thursday. When Acosta asked if she would
condemn the president’s classification of the press as
“the enemy of the people,”
she responded by listing all of the ways that the media has
attacked her during her time in the administration.
“A lot of these journalists have very
expensive seven-figure contracts, go on
late-night TV where they can yuk it up with
someone similarly situation and who can
laugh all day long, particularly about the
women in the Trump Administration, then
they can go and give speeches — I mean,

 Karen Bass Accuses Trump Administration
Of ‘State Sponsored Child Abuse’
Nick Givas | Media And Politics Reporter
1:36 PM 08/03/2018

WATCH:

Democratic Rep. Karen Bass of California accused the

Trump administration of committing “state sponsored
child abuse,” on “Morning Joe” Friday, because of its
treatment of illegal immigrant children.

Co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Bass if family separations
at the border amounted to “kidnapping” or “abuse of
children,” before Bass launched into a tirade against the
White House.
“We are taking [the children] away and then
may or may not reunite them. But you know
that we’re charging the parents,” Bass said.
“So for example, if you get deported there
are examples of parents who are told, you
have to pay $1,500 because we’re going to
fly your kid home along with a chaperone.
Now that’s a lucky parent that actually
knows where their child is.”
.
“So this is state sponsored child abuse,”
she added.
Bass believes the government should only be able to take a
child away if there is evidence of abuse or neglect and said
the welfare system has been hijacked to push a political
agenda.
“The only reason you should ever separate
a child from their parent is if there is
documented abuse or neglect,” Bass
concluded. “Not as punishment or as a
deterrent. It’s a complete misuse of the
child welfare system.”

 Giuliani: Trump’s Mueller Decision
Will Come In The Next 10 Days
Henry Rodgers | Political Reporter
1:46 PM 08/03/2018
President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani
said he and the rest of Trump’s legal team will decide if
the president should sit down with special counsel Robert
Mueller within the next 10 days.
Giuliani said the decision would be made “in the next
week to 10 days” in a Thursday interview with Politico.
The former New York City mayor said Trump will make
the decision with his legal team based on the questions
Mueller intends to ask. The two sides are working on a set
of questions in which they both would agree is fair.
387
However, Giuliani made it clear that Trump and his legal
team do not want questions regarding obstruction in the
2016 presidential election. This echoes a similar comment
he made to the press earlier Thursday, telling Mueller to
“put up or shut up.”
“We don’t want questioning on obstruction.
They would have to concede that,” Giuliani
said. “It depends on how much they want
his testimony on the other (topic).”
Before Trump hired Giuliani, his lawyers and Mueller had
previously discussed a potential Jan. 27 date to meet for a
several hour interview at Camp David. Giuliani said in
June Trump’s legal team would know by July 4 whether
the president would sit down with Mueller, however, on
July 5, he said he was unsure when the interview would
happen.
Trump left the White House Thursday night for
Bedminster, New Jersey, where he is planning on staying
until August 13.

For Remarks On Child Separation

 Washington Post Twists Itself
Into A Pretzel To Accuse Sanders Of Lying
Amber Athey | Media And Breaking News Editor
2:50 PM 08/03/2018

The Washington Post bent over backwards on Friday to

accuse White House press secretary Sarah Sanders of lying
about the media’s vicious attacks on her.

During Thursday’s press briefing, CNN’s Jim Acosta

asked Sanders if she agrees with the president when he
calls members of the press the “enemy of the people.”
Sanders responded with a long list of the media attacks on
her and declined to denounce the phrase.

WaPo’s Aaron Blake published a piece on Friday morning

that alleged Sanders was using “bogus, Trumped-up
charges” to indict the media. Blake’s piece, however,
seems more interested in letting the media off the hook
than taking a serious look at Sanders’ claims.

Blake claims in his article that no one in the media ever

said that Sanders “should be choked.” Sanders was
referring to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, who suggested on
her show in May that she wanted to “wring” Sanders’
neck.

“Kristen Welker, how do you resist the

temptation to run up and wring her neck?”
Wallace said at the time, making a choking
motion with her hands.

WATCH:

390
 That’s probably true, and some journalists did defend
Sanders after the incident. Wolf, however, had an
extensive history of attacking the Trump administration in
vulgar ways, and the WHCA was being willfully ignorant
if they did not think Wolf would say some disgusting
things about Sanders, who was attending in Trump’s place.

In fact, when Wolf found out Sanders would be attending,

she joked, “I’m just excited Sarah finally gets to go to
prom!” The comedian has also called Trump “the worst
thing to happen to women since yeast” and the “dumbest
president ever.”
According to Blake, saying Wallace was advocating for
Sanders to be choked is actually an

“uncharitable version of events” and “hardly

a call to action.” But he is arguing a
distinction without a difference when he
says Wallace being tempted to “wring her
neck” is not effectively the same thing as
saying she “should be choked.”

Wallace apologized for her comments, as Blake notes, but

it’s hard to take her apology seriously when she has also
asked if the Trump women are “dead inside.”

Other commentators have expressed a desire to inflict

violence on Sanders. CNN’s April Ryan got caught joking
on Twitter about getting into a street brawl with the press
secretary because she did not like how Sanders answered
one of her questions at a press briefing.

Blake also questions Sanders claim that Washington Post

blogger Jennifer Rubin said Sanders should be “harassed”
as a “life sentence.” Rubin is actually quoted as saying
Sanders should be made “uncomfortable” as a “life
sentence,” which, again, sounds like the exact same thing
unless Blake is just trying to spin the scenario in favor of
Rubin.

That’s not to mention that CNN’s Symone Sanders said on

Wednesday that Trump officials being harassed in public
may be the “name of the game.”

“I want to go to Shake Shack and eat my

burger without being heckled but, dammit,
kids are in cages,” Sanders ranted. “If
Mitch McConnell can’t eat in peace, maybe
that’s the name of the game.”

Finally, Blake took issue with Sanders saying that the

White House Correspondents’ Association brought a
comedian on stage during their annual dinner to attack her.
He argued that the WHCA did not specifically task
Michelle Wolf with saying mean things about Sanders.

 FACT CHECK:
‘We Are In The Midst Of The Longest Positive
Job Growth Streak In History’
David Sivak | Fact Check Editor
August 3, 2018

Trump is correct. The economy has added jobs every

month since October 2010, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. This is, by far, the longest expansion
since the agency started tracking monthly data in 1939.
UPDATE: The economy added 157,000
jobs in July, the Labor Department said
Friday, extending the current jobs streak to
94 months and sending the unemployment
rate to 3.9 percent.

President Donald Trump said that the economy is

experiencing the longest period of sustained job growth in
history.

Verdict: True

Employment has grown for 93 consecutive

months, beating out the previous record of
48 months.

Fact Check:
Trump recently delivered remarks on the
South Lawn of the White House to
announce that the economy grew 4.1
percent in the second quarter of 2018.
“And I will say this right now, and I’ll say it
strongly: As the trade deals come in one by
one, we’re going to go a lot higher than
these numbers. And these are great
numbers,” he said.
He took the opportunity to tout the strength of the
economy, rattling off a series of claims about the job
market.
The president frequently mentions that unemployment has
reached record lows for black, Latino and – in May –
Asian Americans. This time, Trump threw out another
claim: “We are in the midst of the longest positive job
growth streak in history,” he said.
He repeated the claim Tuesday at a campaign rally in
Tampa, Fla.
These figures can be slightly deceptive because the job
market may undergo an expansion that gets interrupted by
a sporadic month where the jobs numbers turn negative;
for example, if it hadn’t been for a single negative month
of employment in June 1986, the 33-month stretch from
1983 to 1986 would have lasted for 82 months.
Over 18 million jobs have been added over the latest
streak, 3.5 million of which were created under Trump.
Employment returned to pre-recession levels in May 2014,
but accounting for population growth, it wasn’t until July
2017 that the economy had made up all lost ground.
“It is only in the last year that we have been
getting a real bonus compared to before
the recession,” Jennifer Hunt, an
economics professor at Rutgers University,
told The Daily Caller.
The next jobs report comes out on Aug. 3, and economists
surveyed by Bloomberg estimate that 190,000 jobs were
created in July.

392
The current expansion is notable for how long it has lasted, The economy has averaged 199,000 jobs a month for the
but in terms of how quickly jobs have been added, it ranks last 93 months; by comparison, a 45-month streak in the
among the slowest job streaks in the modern era. 1970s averaged 288,000 jobs a month at a time when the
job market was roughly 40 percent smaller.

Nonetheless, the current labor market remains strong.

Unemployment has dropped to 4 percent, down from a
high of 10 percent.

And the labor force participation rate – the share of

working-age people who are employed – remains flat. This
is actually positive news. Baby boomers are retiring in
large numbers, so a flat participation rate means prime-age
Americans are participating in greater numbers.

The Federal Reserve projects that unemployment will drop

to 3.5 percent by 2019.

 CNN Guest Compares Trump To Slave Traders
— Cuomo Calls In Don Lemon To Run Cover
Geoff Harbaugh | Contributor
2:52 PM 08/03/2018
A debate between CNN political commentator Angela Rye
and former Trump adviser Jason Miller quickly got out of
hand while discussing Ivanka Trump’s “family separation”
comments.
Rye declared that Donald Trump is not her president, and
went so far as to claim that those who enforce immigration
policies that separate children from their parents are just
like the slave traders who brought Africans to North
America.
Earlier in the day, Ivanka said she “vehemently was
against separating families at the border.” Rye and Miller
squared off on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” and debated
if the comments “were enough.”
The debate started off civilly until Rye complained about
Miller repeating himself.
“If we are going to call this the great
debate, then don’t put me on with someone
who is just part of the open border crew,
who just wants to essentially not have any
borders,” Miller fired back
He added, “Clearly you don’t want to
enforce the border laws.”
Rye interrupted,
“No, what I don’t what to enforce is your
president’s nonsense. Come on, man. You
guys know that this policy is ass
backwards, plain and simple. You guys
know this policy is inhumane, plain and
simple. Like, if you just take yourselves out
of it for just a moment, take off the lenses
394
of bigotry for just a moment, and imagine if
this was happening to kids.”
Miller interrupted,
“So now we are getting into the name-
calling?”
Rye responded,
“Yes, we are. I’m calling this process —
this procedure is absolutely based on
bigotry and fear-mongering. If you don’t
understand that your president announced
his campaign —”
Miller said,
“‘My president?’ He’s our president,
Angela.”
“No, he’s not mine, not mine. I will never
claim a bigot, ever, ever,” Rye said.
Rye responded to Miller’s claims of being rude, saying,
“The only person that’s rude is you. … This
is over, you have nothing to add except for
asking me if I’m Canadian. And no I’m not.
I wish I could tell you where from Africa my
ancestors came from, at least part of them,
but I wouldn’t know because the same
bigots who are sending people back away
from their children are the ones that
brought my ancestors here on a slave ship.
Congratulations.”
Cuomo pried into the conversation, saying,
“We both know what Angela’s point is. She
says she doesn’t accept Trump’s politics,
but obviously he’s the president of the
United States, everybody knows that.”
WATCH:

Following the break, Cuomo brought on Don Lemon to
clarify Rye’s comments.
Lemon, who is surprised to be on the air, was asked by
Cuomo,
“What do you make of Rye’s comments
about not my president?”
Lemon explained,
“Well, he is our president. He was elected,
right. He is our president. But I understand
some people have some really strong
feelings about this president; many people
said the same things about the last
president.”
.
395
Lemon went on to say,
“I think he’s the president of the United
Stated, and listen, Angela is an American
citizen. She is free to feel how way she
wants to feel.”
Cuomo also addressed with Lemon
“she said, I’m an American and I wish I
could tell you where my family is from
exactly in Africa but I can’t because they
were brought here as slaves by the same
bigots who are doing this on the border
now.”
Lemon answered,
“Well, I think, (paused) Oh I know people
find what this administration is doing is so
egregious, many people can understand
why she says not my president. But there is
a larger truth to what she says. And each of
us as anchors here on CNN you know we
went back and traced our roots and I don’t
know where my family is from. I have no
idea.”
“I think her larger point is that we haven’t in
this country dealt with racism in a
substantial way, we refuse to talk about it.”

investigation thanks to a FOIA lawsuit
filed by Judicial Watch.

The documents reveal the FBI logged a cyber intrusion

analysis request to Hillary’s email investigation one day
after the 2016 election–the FBI had already closed the
investigation.

Why??

Via researcher Katica: “Why did the FBI

log a cyber intrusion analysis request to
Hillary’s Email Investigation the day
after the 2016 election when the case
was closed in July? Part 24, pgs 15-19”

In mid-2016, according to Rep. Louie Gohmert, a

government watchdog told Peter Strzok that 30,000 of
Hillary Clinton’s emails went to a foreign entity–
UNRELATED TO RUSSIA.

Now we find out the FBI logged a cyber intrusion analysis

request to Hillary Clinton’s email investigation. As TGP previously reported:
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), a member of
the House Judiciary Committee, revealed
in the hearing with Peter Strzok a couple
weeks ago that the Intelligence Community
Inspector General (ICIG) found that nearly
all of Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 emails were
sent to a foreign entity and the FBI did
nothing about it.
400
The ICIG found an
“anomaly on Hillary Clinton’s emails going
through their private server, and when they
had done the forensic analysis, they found
that her emails, every single one except
four, over 30,000, were going to an
address that was not on the distribution
list,” Gohmert said to Strzok during the
hearing.
“It was going to an unauthorized source
that was a foreign entity unrelated to
Russia,” Gohmert continued.
Inspector General Horowitz was also notified about
Hillary’s emails going to a foreign entity, however he did
nothing about it either.
“Mr. Horowitz got a call four times from
someone wanting to brief him about this,
and he never returned the call,” Gohmert
said.
Watch Gohmert reveal Hillary’s emails
went to a foreign entity:

Gohmert revealed the ICIG investigator, Frank Rucker met

Peter Strzok and presented the anomaly to him, yet he did
nothing about it.

Peter Strzok only admitted to meeting with Rucker,

however he claimed he could not recall “specific content”
discussed.

 FBI Releases Heavily Redacted Documents
SHOWING AGENCY PAYMENTS To Dossier Author
Christopher Steele
By Cristina Laila
August 3, 2018, 5:28 Pm

The FBI docs also show Steele was “admonished” (a

briefing on rules of being an informant) by the FBI for
unknown reasons in February of 2016 and ‘terminated’
November 1st of 2016.

Via Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch announced today the FBI

Former British spy and dossier author Christopher Steele
On Friday, the FBI released 70 pages of
HEAVILY REDACTED documents on
dossier author Christopher Steele
thanks to a FOIA lawsuit filed by
Judicial Watch.
Nearly every single page was completely redacted.
The documents do however, show the FBI paid dossier
author Christopher Steele as a ‘Confidential Human
Source’ (CHS) for an unknown amount of time.
Every payment to Steele is entirely
redacted (screenshot below)
turned over 70 pages of heavily redacted
records about Christopher Steele, the
former British spy, hired with Clinton
campaign and Democratic National
Committee funds, who authored the
infamous Dossier targeting President
Trump during last year’s presidential
campaign. The documents show that
Steele was cut off as a “Confidential
Human Source” (CHS) after he disclosed
his relationship with the FBI to a third
party. The documents show at least 11 FBI
payments to Steele in 2016 and document
that he was admonished for unknown
reasons in February, 2016. The
documents were turned over in response to
Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department
of Justice for records of communications
and payments between the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI) and former British
intelligence officer Christopher Steele and
his private firm, Orbis Business Intelligence
(Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of
Justice(No. 1:17-cv-00916)).

The documents include a “source closing communication”

that states that Steele (referred to as “CHS” or Confidential
Human Source) “is being closed” because:

CHS confirmed to an outside third party

that CHS has a confidential relationship
with the FBI. CHS was used as a source
for an online article. In the article, CHS
revealed CHS’ relationship with the FBI as
well as information that CHS obtained and
provided to FBI. On November 1, 2016,
CHS confirmed all of this to the handling
agent. At that time, handling agent advised
402
 CHS that the nature of the relationship
between the FBI and CHS would change
completely and that it was unlikely that the
FBI would continue a relationship with the
CHS. Additionally, handling agent advised
that CHS was not to operate to obtain any
intelligence whatsoever on behalf of the
FBI.
The documents also show that Steele was paid repeatedly
by the FBI and was “admonished” for some unknown
misconduct in February, 2016. The documents include:
President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton
had this to say about the Steele docs:
“These new docs show that the shady,
cash-based relationship the Obama FBI
had with Clinton operative Christopher
Steele. The anti-Trump Russia
‘investigation’ had Christopher Steele at its
.
403
center and his misconduct was no
impediment to using information from his
Russia intelligence collaborators to spy on
the Trump team. The corruption and abuse
is astonishing.”
Oppo research firm Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele
to compile the 35-page Russia dossier, which of course
was ultimately paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC.
Steele’s phony dossier was then used by Obama’s corrupt
FBI and DOJ to obtain a FISA warrant and three
subsequent renewals on Trump advisor Carter Page.
Christopher Steele is referenced as “Source 1” many times
throughout the Carter Page FISA docs which were recently
released thanks to Judicial Watch.

 STUNNING: FBI Continued To Gather
Junk Documents From Christopher Steele 12 TIMES
After Election (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
August 3, 2018, 7:13 Pm
At least 12 times the FBI continued to
gather junk documents from
Christopher Steele after the election of
Donald Trump as president.
FBI investigators in the DC bubble were shocked when
President Trump stomped Hillary Clinton in the 2016
election and were desperate to find Trump ties to the Putin
regime. So they kept purchasing junk papers from
Christopher Steele from Fusion GPS despite having fired
him in the summer of 2016.
Judicial Watch on Friday released documents on Friday
showing FBI payments to Christopher Steele for his junk
Russian dossier.
Byron York wrote about this shocking news that the FBI
was still accessing reports from Christopher Steele even
after he was fired and after he fed them the completely
bogus Trump Russia dossier.
Via The Washington Examiner:
Congressional investigators know that
Christopher Steele, the former British spy
who compiled the Trump dossier on behalf
.
404
of the Clinton campaign, kept supplying
allegations to the FBI after the 2016
election — and even after he was
terminated as a source by the bureau for
giving confidential information to the media.
Because he had broken his agreement
with the FBI, bureau procedure did not
allow agents to keep using Steele as a
source. But they did so anyway — by
devising a system in which Steele spoke
regularly with Bruce Ohr, a top Obama
Justice Department official whose wife
worked for Fusion GPS, which hired
Steele to search for dirt on Donald Trump
in Russia. Ohr then passed on Steele’s
information to the FBI.
In a highly unusual arrangement, Ohr, who was the fourth-
highest ranking official in the Justice Department, acted as
an intermediary for a terminated source for the FBI’s
Trump-Russia probe. His task was to deliver to the FBI
what Steele told him, which effectively meant the bureau
kept Steele as a source.
Agents made a record of each time Ohr gave the bureau
information from Steele. Those records are in the form of
so-called 302 reports, in which the FBI agents write up
notes of interviews during an investigation.
There are a dozen 302 reports on FBI
post-election interviews of Ohr. The first
was Nov. 22, 2016.
After that, the FBI interviewed Ohr on Dec. 5; Dec. 12;
Dec. 20; Jan. 23, 2017; Jan. 25; Jan. 27; Feb. 6; Feb. 14;
May 8; May 12; and May 15. The dates, previously
unreported publicly, were included in a July letter from
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-
Iowa, to the FBI and Justice Department.
Byron York joined Gregg Jarrett Friday on Lou Dobbs
Tonight to discuss his recent column on Steele’s continued
work with the FBI following the election.
 Manafort Accountant Admits
Possible Wrongdoing During Trial
Evie Fordham | Contributor
9:15 PM 08/03/2018
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort’s
accountant admitted she filed tax returns that she was
aware may have been criminally fraudulent, at Manafort’s
tax fraud trial in Alexandria, Virginia, Friday.
“I prepared the tax returns and
communicated with banks based on
information that Mr. [Rick] Gates and Mr.
405
Manafort provided to me that I didn’t
believe,” Cindy Laporta said, reported
Politico.
Laporta is “the first witness at the trial to testify under a
grant of immunity,” according to Politico. Her testimony is
also the first instance of a witness conceding involvement
in possible wrongdoing in the trial.
Lobbyist Manafort is defending himself from charges of
tax illegalities brought by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Mueller wants to grant immunity to four people besides
LaPorta who could testify, reported Politico.
Laporta classified $2.4 million from offshore businesses as
loans on 2014 and 2015 tax documents to Manafort’s
consultant business. She works for Kositzka Wicks &
Company in Alexandria.

 Is Mueller Charging Manafort For ‘Crimes’
He Also May Have Committed For
His Work With Ukraine?
By Jim Hoft
August 4, 2018, 11:09 Am
Corrupt Cop Robert Mueller is charging
President Trump’s short time Campaign
Manager Paul Manafort for “crimes” that
it appears Mueller himself may have
committed as well.
Internet sleuth D. Manny uncovered possible crimes
related to Ukrainians and the Mueller investigation but the
individual who should be indicted may be the corrupt cop
Robert Mueller himself. In the article entitled “Did Bob
Mueller Monetarily Benefit from Paul Manafort’s
“Criminal” Activities?” Manny writes:
Paul Manafort sits in solitary confinement for crimes he
allegedly committed stemming from his work as a lobbyist
in Ukraine years ago before Donald Trump ran for
president.
For a little back story, Yulia Tymoshenko runs for
reelection in Ukraine, she loses, and just like Hillary,
Tymoshenko fails to lose gracefully and promises to
#Resist. Her victorious opponent, Viktor Yanukovytch,
throws her in jail for what many claim to be bogus charges
[something President Trump has not yet done to Hillary
Clinton.]
Manny continues;
While she was in jail, guess who pleaded
for her release? John McCain. As a matter
of fact, John McCain thought the Ukrainian
election was of such paramount importance
to the United States that he gets the
Senate to form a Ukrainian Caucus in order
408
to further Ukrainian interests, of which John
McCain is a member.
When she gets out of jail, there’s a push for an
investigation into the mishandling of her trial and the
charges themselves. So the Ukrainian government, which
is still run by the guy she lost the election to, Viktor
Yanukovych, hires the law firm of Skadden Arps,
specifically Greg Craig [Obama’s former White House
Counsel], and a lobbyist, Paul Manafort. Greg Craig’s
team of attorneys included Alex Van Der Zwann. Van Der
Zwann’s father-in-law is a business partner to the same
Oleg Deripaska that is connected to the Clintons and the
Obamas, the same Oleg Deripaska that paid for the Steele
dossier, the Steele dossier that Manafort’s lobbying partner
and McCain’s chief of staff went to pick up in London.
Van Der Zwann is the same guy that Mueller just indicted
for lying to the FBI. And Oleg Deripaska is suing
Manafort for monies that the Russian oligarch believes
Manafort stole from him in a business deal gone bad. And
if your head isn’t spinning fast enough from all these
connections so far, let me add to it by saying, let us not
forget that Paul Manafort was McCain’s campaign
manager during McCain’s failed bid to become President
of the United States. (Side note: Is McCain holding a
grudge? We know he is with Sarah Palin.)
Anyway, due to all the negative publicity stemming from
the Tymoshenko debacle, Yanukovytch tried to repair his
image before the public, so he hires the lobbyist, Paul
Manafort, who then hires John Podesta’s lobbying outfit.
Their job was to make Yanukovytch seem like a really
likable guy to the Ukrainian public, so Podesta gets both
Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry’s State
Department to do photo ops with Yanukovytch because,
you know, the DNC coffers needed to be filled during
election time, so they had to sell Yanukovytch as a real
class act to the adoring public. Obama even went so far as
to declare the Ukrainian election to be free and fair.
But guess who else did photo ops with
Yanukovytch? Bob Mueller, the same
Mueller that’s now prosecuting these
very people.
Rod Rosenstein’s memo said Mueller was specifically
authorized to investigate allegations that Manafort

“[c]ommitted a crime or crimes arising out

of payments he received from the
Ukrainian government before and during
the tenure of President Viktor Yanukovych.”
Did Bob Mueller allow these
photos to be taken out of the
goodness of his heart, or did he
monetarily benefit from them?
If so, did he file a FARA form or did he file the form a
Hmmm, let me think about that month before Manafort was indicted like the Podesta’s
one. If Mueller was paid for did? Did the others who met with the Ukrainian leader
these photo ops, did he declare also report any earnings from their meetings?
these monies? Surely Mueller
would not have paid for his own
airfare to the Ukraine. If
somebody else paid for his
airfare, did Mueller declare that
too? Did Mueller fill out a FARA
form? Same questions for all of
the others involved, like,
Obama, Hillary Clinton, and
John Kerry’s people. But isn’t it
the most interesting of all that
all these people who monetarily
benefited from this situation
are now the very same ones
who are behind the prosecution
It would be interesting to see how much
of Paul Manafort?
Mueller got paid to meet with the
Ukrainian leader. Surely Mueller didn’t
Manny has a point. Did Mueller get paid for his trip to the do it out of the kindness of his heart?

 Robert Mueller Is A TERRORIST:
Initiated Armed Raid On Manafort For Documents That
Had Already Been Turned Over!
By JD Heyes
08/04/2018

FBI agents entered with guns drawn and

insisted on searching Kathleen Manafort for
weapons, a standard part of FBI searches
but a jarring event for the Manaforts, the
sources said.
The Washington Examiner’s Byron York
tweeted the passage from CNN.

More and more Americans are beginning to see special

counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation for what it really is:
A desperate last-ditch effort to undermine POTUS Donald
Trump’s administration and eventually drive him from
office, overturning the results of the 2016 election.

As Mueller’s case against former Trump campaign

manager Paul Manafort launched this week, additional
evidence emerged proving that the former FBI director
operates more like a terrorist than a federal prosecutor,
though as politicized as the Justice Department became
under President Obama many would say there isn’t much
difference.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, FBI special agent But as the Washington Post reported in

noted.
As CNN reported:
One White House adviser told the Post,

to sources briefed on the matter.

411
Manafort had already provided more than 300 pages of
documents to the Senate Judiciary Committee and the
House and Senate intelligence committees by then.
Meanwhile, Hillary remains free
But that wasn’t enough for Robert Mueller; he chose to go
full Gestapo on Manafort.
The Washington Examiner, in a separate report discussing
the trial this week, said that Mikuska testified that he was
the seizing agent in the raid. He told jurors that he knocked
on the door three times to gain access but used a key after
no one came to the door (remember it was pre-dawn and
likely the Manafort’s were spooked by the presence of
someone at their door so early). Once inside, “agents saw
Manafort,” the news site noted.
Mikuska told federal prosecutor Uzo Asonye that the
documents obtained by the government consisted of loan
agreements, loan applications, and invoices for work on a
number of properties along the East Coast Manafort owns.
Ellis also took issue with the use of the
term ‘oligarch’ to describe various
Ukrainians who paid Manafort for his work
there,” adding that he believes the term is
generally used to describe people who are
criminals or who belong to despotic
governments.
The point is at the time of the raid Manafort and his
attorneys were cooperating with the government and
Congress. They were providing requested documents, and
any that had yet to be obtained would have been Mueller’s
for the asking.
But obviously, Mueller’s not playing any of this straight.
His objective from the outset has been to “get Trump.”
And the longer he’s able to harass anyone tied to the
president while Hillary Clinton continues to breathe free
air, the more profound this injustice becomes.

At one point the judge in the case, T.S. Ellis III, a Reagan
appointee who has been critical of Mueller’s prosecutors,
challenged them to tell him how the invoices and other
documents are related to Manafort’s case. Earlier, the
Washington Examiner noted further, “

 Kurt Schlichter Defends Trump’s
Media Slams, Dishes Some Advice For Jim Acosta
Scott Morefield | Reporter
2:34 AM 08/05/2018
Townhall senior columnist Kurt Schlichter defended
President Trump’s media slams and included some
relevant advice to CNN’s Jim Acosta during a Saturday
appearance on Fox News’ “Watters’ World.”
WATCH:
“Look, this is a week where the New York
Times — the flagship of the liberal media
— hired an avowed racist, someone who if
you just changed the nature of the person
she was hating would be another David
Duke, and they hired her and they
defended her,” Schlichter said in response
to Fox News host Jesse Watters’
contention that the “fake news” has “made
enemies of the people.”
.

The Townhall columnist then had a piece of advice for
CNN’s Jim Acosta, who has taken particular umbrage at
President Trump’s “enemy of the people” moniker.
“It’s ridiculous, it’s disgraceful,” Schlichter
continued. “Enemy of the people? You
don’t want to be called the enemy of the
people? I have a great idea. Stop being the
enemy of the people!”
Former Obama official Anton Gunn said that the president
should “stay above the fray” and “have some thicker skin”
regarding the press.
To which Schlichter responded:
We spent eight years with George Bush
being a gentleman, taking it, and taking it
on our behalf. Now we’ve got someone
who throws back when they throw down. I
love it. It’s time to get in these people’s
faces and say no, you’re not going to treat

 AWFUL. CBS News Tries To
Blame Portland Violence On Trump Supporters
By Brock Simmons
August 5, 2018, 7:01 Am
In a battle to try to out-fake Jim Acosta

to pin violence on Trump supporters.
“In Portland, a massive demonstration by a

words out of Reena Ninan‘s mouth during a

This would be true except none

The clashes and violence were

one of the commies. Nina then passes the story off to
Portland local reporter Jennifer Dowling of KOIN6.
Dowling’s report at least has a semblance of dignity and
truth, as she focuses most of the story on antifa. But she
leaves it a little fuzzy by saying, “You can see here police
charging protesters who would not obey orders to disperse,
and made some arrests.” They also threw in the sound-byte
from the police LRAD of “Protesters throwing projectiles
including rocks and bottles” and Dowling continues by
talking about how police confiscated weapons and shot
tear gas and flash grenades to break up the protesters.”
Except they still make it unclear as to which group that
was in reference to.
Hint:
It was 99% about Antifa. They were the
ones who were throwing projectiles at
police. They were the ones whom the
police launched tear gas and flash
grenades at. They were the ones who
ignored orders to disperse.
On the Trump side, it was mostly peaceful, as the group
marched along the waterfront. But you wouldn’t know that
by CBS’s shoddy reporting.
The written piece on CBS’s website tries
to pin last year’s train stabber, Jeremy
Christian, as one of the right wing
Trump supporters, even though he
praised Bernie on his Facebook page.
They also try to paint Patriot Prayer
leader Joey Gibson as a racist, citing
what they read on the interet posted by
far left unions and pro illegal alien
groups.
I think we all know what the “BS” in
“CBS” stands for.
 After Two Obama Appointed Judges Fail To Act –
Trump Appointed Judge Gets A Chance To Rule On The
Special Counsel’s Constitutionality
By Jim Hoft
August 5, 2018, 8:44 Am
To date, two Obama appointed judges have had the chance
to rule on the constitutionality of the Mueller
investigation. One judge, Amy Berman Jackson, is a far
left activist judge who twists the legal system to match her
point of view rather than interpret the law as it is written.
Berman is overseeing the Manafort case.

A new US Judge is now overseeing a

case that claims the Mueller
investigation is unconstitutional.

This is the first time that a Trump-

appointed judge is in a position to rule Manafort sued the DOJ, Mueller and

 CNN: Trump Leading A ‘Hate Movement’
Against The Press Like Stalin, Hitler
By Nicholas Fondacaro
August 5, 2018 3:56 PM EDT
CNN media reporter Brian Stelter is infamous for his
ridiculous and hyperbolic pontifications against
President Trump and his over the top adulation for the
media. Those two points met yet again during Sunday’s
“Reliable Sources” when the hyperventilating CNN host
decried the President’s attacks on the press and declared
Trump was leading, what he called, a “hate movement”
akin to Stalin and Hitler.
Stelter appeared exhausted and somber as he began the
show with his usual introductory spiel.
“This weekend, breaking news from
President Trump. He's upping his
ferocious language against the news
media and Robert Mueller,” he
complained.
“A lot of thought to get to, a lot of angles
to discuss, because the President is
really attacking the press with renewed
vigor,” he whined. “It's something we
need to analyze in detail because it's
something that's being talked about the
newsrooms across the country right
now.”
He huffed about President Trump’s feud with the media
becoming “normalized in some way.” Trying to spell it out
for his viewers, he opined about how, “I think it's as simple
as this: President Trump's newest attempt to strip away our
legitimacy and, indeed, our humanity is coming through on
Twitter.”
In the tweet in question, President Trump argued:
423
“The Fake News hates me saying that they
are the Enemy of the People only because
they know it’s TRUE. I am providing a great
service by explaining this to the American
People. They purposely cause great
division & distrust. They can also cause
War! They are very dangerous & sick!”
Stelter suggested that the President was lashing out at the
media because he had “his back up against the wall”
presumably because the press and the Russia investigation
were about to get him.
“I know we're all used to him tweeting all
the time but think about what he's saying
here … saying journalists are dangerous,
sick, enemies of the people. That's where
we are. This is America,” he moaned.
The dreary CNN reporter fawned over responses from his
fellow anti-Trumpers.
He gushed about a tweet from NBC’s
Chuck Todd opining about how he was
“taking the bait in hopes that rational folks
realize this is wrong and dangerous.” He
did the same for a tweet from Weekly
Standard editor Bill Kristol who said the
President was “closer in spirit to Vladimir
Putin than America.”
“And S.V. Date, a White House reporter for
the Huff Post pointed out that other leaders
in the past have always used the phrase
enemy of the people. Among those
leaders, Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler,”
 Stelter boasted. How is this kind of
response supposed to turn down the heat
the media is concerned about?
“But you think about what happened this
weekend there's been three days of rallies,
the President singing the same tune but
singing it more loudly. He's shouting some
of these attacks nowadays,” Stelter
continued. “And there's certainly been a
newfound focus on how he whips up his
crowds against the press corps. More and
more I think ‘hate movement’ is the proper
term for what's going on.”
Flaunting his humbleness, Stelter actually bragged about
how the phrase he coined was catching on.
“The first time I saw it, I think, was by
NYU’s Jay Rosen. Others are picking up
on it as well. It's a helpful frame to
understand what the President is
doing,” he said. He added that Trump
supporters who boo journalists and those
who send in death threats were linked and
“all part of this hate movement.”
All weekend, the liberal media had been decrying Trump’s
attacks on the press and suggested it would lead to
violence against them. Clearly, they only care for
themselves because what do they think will come from
their own anti-Trump and anti-conservative “hate
movement”? This is just another way to delegitamize
perfectly reasonable criticism of the the media.

BRIAN STELTER: Hey, I'm Brian Stelter. It's time for Reliable

how the media really works, and how the news gets made. This
weekend, breaking news from President Trump. He's upping his
ferocious language against the news media and Robert Mueller.
New York Times columnist David Leonhardt is here with a theory
about what's going on. Plus, think of him as the storyteller in
chief. Are we in the news media over analyzing his statements,
his stories. Should we be analyzing him more like a novelist?
A lot of thought to get to, a lot of angles to discuss, because the

424
something we need to analyze in detail because it's something
that's being talked about the newsrooms across the country right
now. You might say his attacks against the media are becoming
normalized in some way. Let me show you what I mean. I think
it's as simple as this. President Trump's newest attempt to strip
away our legitimacy and, indeed, our humanity is coming through
on Twitter. He's posting these kinds of tweets.
Here’s one of them I want us to look at and dissect. He’s saying,
“the fake news hates being called the enemy of the people only
because they know it's true.” He's claiming he is, “providing a
great service to the public by explaining this.” Here’s what the
President says about journalists. He says journalists “cause great
division and distrust.” “They can also cause war,” he says. “They
are very dangerous and sick.”
I know we're all used to him tweeting all the time but think about
what he's saying here. The President, with his back up against
the wall, is saying journalists are dangerous, sick, enemies of the
people. That's where we are. This is America.
Let me show you a few of the reactions from journalists this
morning. Chuck Todd calling this “outrageous.” He’s saying here,
he tries not to take the bait but this time he’s reacting in the
“hopes rational folks realize this is wrong and dangerous.” Bill
Kristol, an outspoken Trump critic, says the President sounds
“closer in spirit to Vladimir Putin than America.” And S.V. Date, a
White House reporter for the Huff Post pointed out that other
leaders in the past have always used the phrase enemy of the
people. Among those leaders, Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler.
Look, enemy of the people does have a Stalin-era connotation. It
was used in order to inflict pain and cause violence on
populations of people throughout history. If the President doesn't
know that, surely someone has told him by now.
But you think about what happened this weekend there's been
three days of rallies, the President singing the same tune but
singing it more loudly. He's shouting some of these attacks
nowadays. And there's certainly been a newfound focus on how
he whips up his crowds against the press corps. More and more I
think “hate movement” is the proper term for what's going on.
President Trump is not just telling his fans to ignore what we
report. He's telling people we are the enemy. Trump and some of
his allies are promoting a hate movement against the American
press. Now, I've been seeing that term used more and more. The
first time I saw it, I think, was by NYU’s Jay Rosen. Others are
picking up on it as well. It's a helpful frame to understand what
the President is doing. When we see people booing journalists at
rallies. When we see the death threats that come in over social
media. It's all part of this hate movement.

 REPORT: President Trump To Declassify June 2017
Carter Page FISA Renewal App Signed By Rod Rosenstein
By Cristina Laila
August 5, 2018, 7:27 Pm

Thanks to Judicial Watch, the Carter Page FISA docs were

released a couple weeks ago after the watchdog filed a
FOIA lawsuit.

Although the documents were dishonestly and heavily

redacted, they confirm the FBI and DOJ misled the FISA
courts.

Look for President Trump to declassify
the June 2017 Carter Page FISA renewal
this month, says investigative reporter,
Paul Sperry.
Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-
NC) and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) called
for the FISA docs to be declassified.
President Trump tweeted about the
Carter Page FISA docs shortly after they
were released to the public, slamming
Crooked Hillary and called for the
discredited Mueller witch hunt to be
shut down.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and then-Deputy

Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe both signed off on
the June 2017 Carter Page FISA renewal–things could get
interesting!

and won’t declassify the Carter Page

 ‘Meet The Press’ Panel: Trump Won’t Speak Out On
QAnon Conspiracy Because ‘This Is The Republican Base’
Geoff Harbaugh | Contributor
8:17 PM 08/05/2018
A “Meet The Press” panel on Sunday discussed why
President Trump hasn’t spoken out about QAnon, the
conspiracy group that has been getting a lot of attention
from the media this week after several members showed
up at a Trump rally holding various “Q” signs in Florida.
NBC News political analyst and Washington Post reporter
Robert Costa was asked by host Chuck Todd about the
conspiracy group.
“The president, himself, has believed in
conspiracies before. His political career
was very much launched on how he came
onto that birtherism with President
Obama,” Costa said. “But there’s not really
an expectation inside of this White House
that the president’s going to somehow
speak out on QAnon. People inside of the
president’s inner circle, they see the ‘Q’
signs as much as anybody in the press pen
sees those ‘Q’ signs. But they believe this
is the Republican base. This is the Trump
base. They have a deep suspicion of the
deep state.”
WATCH:
Todd directed his next question to Republican strategist Al
Cardenas, saying,
“This is the Republican base. Are you
concerned?”
.
428
Cardenas replied,
“Of course. Look, I’ve lived through this
group of people who believe that the moon
landing was filmed in a studio somewhere.
And we all remember also how our
government kept a place in Nevada where
all the aliens were incarcerated. But, you
know, a lot of people now actually believe
that these are actual people in government.
This is very different. Now, it’s people in
government undermining the country. And
by them not denying this at the higher
levels of the administration, it gives a
credibility that further feeds off the idea that
government is not to be trusted.”
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked
about QAnon during her press briefing on Wednesday.
Sanders was asked,
“Does the president encourage the support
of people who showed up last night in
these ‘QAnon’ and ‘Blacks for Trump’ fringe
groups?”
Sanders responded,
“The President condemns and denounces
any group that would incite violence
against another individual, and certainly
doesn’t support groups that would promote
that type of behavior.”

continued.

WATCH:

Republican strategist Karl Rove said on “Fox News

Sunday” that President Donald Trump’s strategy with the
national media is hurting his cause and isn’t working in his
favor.
Rove said the Trump administration has a right to stand up
and hit back against media bias, but took issue with the
manner in which they criticize the press
“Any White House has the right if it
disagrees with coverage to be specific and
precise in criticizing that coverage,” Rover
said. “If ‘The New York Times’ has a bad
story about the Trump administration, I
think the administration ought to say ‘we
think this is what’s wrong.'”
“But look, the ferocity of these generalized
slurs if you will, against the press and the

Rove lost track of how many times Trump went after the
media in his latest speech and said the president is only
throwing red meat to his base.
“I watched the speech and I lost track
about 18 or 19 times that the president
went after the press and every time he did
that crowd roared its approval,” Rove said.
“But that crowd represents the hard-core
Trump base. This does not help him with
his bigger problem.”
“He is enraging the opposition, while simply
reinforcing a much smaller base,” he
continued.

In the latest Orwellian nightmare to come from Silicon

Valley, Facebook has caved to the leftist media mob
demanding censorship of InfoWars and permanently
banned their page.

Spotify, YouTube, and Apple have also censored the right-

wing outlet as liberal media has been aggressively
targeting platforms that host InfoWars content.

InfoWars host Paul Joseph Watson announced the

Facebook ban on Twitter early Monday morning.

Watson was informed that the platform banned InfoWars

because of “language” used to describe “people who are
transgender, Muslims and immigrants,” though they did
not provide any specific examples of the unacceptable
speech.

“regardless of the facts in this case, the

ability of Facebook to censor rival

Facebook for unspecified 'hate speech'.

Facebook has eliminated 93% of traffic

to top conservative websites.
** Twitter is shadowbanning and
censoring conservative lawmakers and
conservative publishers.
** Wikipedia is controlled by far left editors
who are regularly accused of liberal bias.
** YouTube is shutting down
conservative pages and demonitizing
several others.

And a Gateway Pundit June study of top

conservative news outlets found that
Facebook has eliminated 93% of traffic
to top conservative websites.
On Monday Facebook caved to the
leftist media mob demanding
censorship of InfoWars and
permanently banned their page.

Liberal Tech Giants Facebook, Twitter,

Google-YouTube and Wikipedia have all
stepped up their harassment of

It is interesting that Facebook and Apple

would ban Infowars on the same day.
It makes you wonder if these tech giants

“A subpoena for live testimony has never

been tested in court as to a president of the
United States,” Sekulow continued, saying
Trump’s legal team is prepared to fight it in
court.

VIDEO:

An attorney for Trump, Jay Sekulow told

George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that
they will fight any subpoena from
Robert Mueller.

Sekulow said a Mueller subpoena would spark a legal

battle and they will take the fight all the way up to the
Supreme Court.

Stephanopoulos asked Sekulow what he would do if

Mueller were to subpoena President Trump.

“You have a fight under the Constitution

because it really becomes an Article II
question,” Sekulow told Stephanopoulos.
“…If you get a subpoena, you file what’s
called a motion to quash, that will be The Deep State and Democrats know President Trump and
argued at the district court then it would go his legal team will take Mueller to the Supreme Court
to the court of appeals, then it would go to which is why they are doing everything they can to stall

 Fake 'News!' ABC, NBC Go Wild
Over 'Stunning' 'New' Trump 'Admission' ...
That He Made Last Year
By Kristine Marsh
August 6, 2018 11:30 AM EDT

‘this was a meeting to get information on an

opponent. Totally legal and done all the
time in politics and it went nowhere. I did
not know about it.’

NBC’s Savannah Guthrie gushed on Today that it a

“stunning about face” with Trump admitting “for the
first time” that the meeting was to gather dirt on Clinton,
while correspondent Peter Alexander touted it was

“a striking acknowledgment after a year

of denials and shifting stories.”
Talk about grasping at straws! The big three morning
shows went wild this morning hyping a supposedly new CBS This Morning was less dramatic but still called the
claim President Trump made about the infamous 2016 tweet a “new explanation” from the President.
Trump Tower meeting. On Twitter, Trump admitted that
the meeting was aimed at gathering opposition research on
Hillary Clinton. Old news, right? Well the morning shows
didn’t seem to think so, and ludicrously reported that this
was a “stunning” reversal of everything the Trump
campaign had said up to this point.

ABC anchor and former Clinton official George

Stephanopoulos provided the silliest overreaction on
Monday's Good Morning America, touting the tweet as a
“stunning reversal” and “dramatic new admission” in
the Russia investigation.

“Reversing course on previous denials,
President now saying that the purpose of
his son's Trump Tower meeting with the
Russians was to get information on Hillary
Clinton,” Stephanopoulos added.
Turning to senior White House correspondent Cecilia
Vega for the new “fall out,” she hyped the White House’s
explanations of the meeting as “shifting since day one":
But now his clearest admission yet on
the true purpose to get dirt on Hillary
Clinton.
Tweeting,
The problem is this isn't anything new at all. Trump made
very similar comments back in July 2017 at a press
conference with France’s Emmanuel Macron, that the
networks even aired live.
“I do think this, that taken from a
practical standpoint … most people
would’ve taken that meeting. It’s called
opposition research or research into
your opponent” he said at the time,
adding:
I’ve only been in politics for two years, but
I’ve had many people call up, ‘Oh gee, we
have information on this factor or this
person,’ or, frankly, Hillary.That’s very

441
 standard in politics. Politics is not the nicest
business in the world, but it’s very standard
where they have information and you take
the information, and I think the press made
a very big deal out of something that really
a lot [of people] would do.
Again, in a tweet from July 2017, Trump reiterated that it
was normal to gather opposition research on your
opponent:
442
CBS This Morning was the only network to provide a clip
of that press conference from last year. To complicate
matters, Trump did mention talking about Russian
adoptions during that meeting as well, but that doesn’t
change the fact that he’s said multiple times that the actual
purpose was to gather opposition research.
Washington Examiner's Byron York noted the media’s
overreaction on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom this
morning, saying it was “simply not news” that the
President admitted this today, since he said the same thing
last year.
The Daily Caller reported it’s not just the networks going
nuts over this supposed “scoop.” Print outlets like The
Washington Post and New York Times also touted the
tweet as some new development as well.
 Dianne Feinstein Was Warned
About Chinese Bribes And Infiltration In 1990s —
When She Hired Her Chinese Driver Spy
By Cristina Laila
August 6, 2018, 12:44 Pm
Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein
New details were released this week on
how California Democrat Senator
Dianne Feinstein had a Communist
Chinese spy by her side for nearly 20
years.
The San Francisco Chronicle claims none of her staff ever
knew what was going on and just kept the story quiet.
Feinstein reportedly ‘found out’ that her staffer was a
Chinese spy in 2013–while she was the Chairman of the
Senate Intelligence Committee.
That’s right–the CHAIRMAN of the Senate Intel
Committee had a Chinese spy working for her for 20 years
and she supposedly didn’t know.
Another strange coincidence? Feinstein’s 3rd husband
whom she married in 1980, Richard Blum is DEEPLY
and PERSONALLY connected to China as a prominent
investor.
Feinstein traveled to China several
times with her husband and even
bragged to an LA Times reporter about
being the first foreigner to visit mass
murderer, Mao Tse-tung’s old residence
where he died.
Since 1995, Feinstein has made three visits to confer with
senior government officials in Beijing. Blum has
accompanied her each time at his own expense and has
attended many of her meetings with President Jiang Zemin
443
and other top Chinese leaders–an unusual degree of access
for a private businessman.
On their trip to China in January of last year, Blum
accompanied Feinstein to dinner with Jiang in the
exclusive leaders’ enclave, Zhongnanhai.
“We had dinner in Zhongnanhai in Mao
Tse-tung’s old residence in the room where
he died. We were told that we were the first
foreigners to see his bedroom and the
swimming pool. It was a very historic
moment to see some of these things,”
Feinstein told a Times reporter later.
The Chinese spy mysteriously appeared on the scene in
1993 just ONE YEAR after Feinstein was elected to the
Senate in 1992. Coincidence? We think not.
Feinstein’s husbands investments in China have dogged
the Senator for decades.
In fact, federal investigators detected that the Chinese
government was trying to win favors with Feinstein–the
FBI warned Dianne Feinstein in the mid-90’s that China
was trying to improperly influence her through illegal
campaign contributions, reported the LA Times.
More from the LA Times previous report:
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-
Calif.) has emerged as one of the
staunchest proponents of closer U.S.
relations with China, fighting for permanent
most-favored-nation trading status for
Beijing.
At the same time, far from the spotlight,
Feinstein’s husband, Richard C. Blum, has
expanded his private business interests in
China–to the point that his firm is now a
prominent investor inside the communist
nation.
For years, Feinstein and Blum have
insisted that they maintained a solid
“firewall” between her role as an influential
 foreign policy player and his career as a
private investor overseas.
But such closely coinciding interests are highly unusual for
major figures in public life in Washington. And now, as
controversy heats up over improper foreign influence in
the U.S. political process, the effectiveness of the firewall
between those interests could be called into question.
On Thursday, after he was interviewed by
The Times about his China business, Blum
announced that he will donate future profits
from his personal investments there to his
nonprofit foundation to help Tibetan
refugees. “This should remove any
perception that I, in any way, shape or form
benefit from or influence my wife’s position
on China as a U.S. senator,” Blum said.
In 1992, when Feinstein entered the Senate, Blum’s
interests in China amounted to one project worth less than
$500,000, according to her financial disclosure reports.
But since then, his financial activities in the country have
increased.
In the last year, a Blum investment firm paid $23 million
for a stake in a Chinese government-owned steel enterprise
.
444
and acquired sizable interests in the leading producers of
soybean milk and candy in China. Blum’s firm, Newbridge
Capital Ltd., received an important boost from a $10-
million investment by the International Finance Corp., an
arm of the World Bank. Experts said that IFC backing
typically confers legitimacy and can help attract other
investors.
Richard Blum’s investments in China ballooned after his
wife Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, was elected to the
Senate in 1992.
Feinstein hired a Chinese spy in 1993 only to see her
husband’s businesses flourish.
Experts on China know everything is personal there–it’s
all about contacts and personal relationships.
It leaves very little doubt Dianne Feinstein accidentally
hired a Chinese spy as one of her staffers then quietly
retired him after others she found out.
Dianne Feinstein and others on the corrupt Senate Intel
Panel who knew about this spy should be prosecuted.

 THIS IS CNN=> Unhinged CNN
Host Brian Stelter Mocks Infowars After Youtube, Apple,
Facebook, Spotify Ban The Website
By Jim Hoft
August 6, 2018, 2:34 Pm

On Monday Facebook, Google-YouTube,

Apple and Spotify removed
Infowars from their platforms within
hours in a coordinated attack on a top
conservative pro-Trump publisher.

This was a coordinated assault on a top

Trump-supporting publisher just
months before the 2018 election.

The fascist left is cheering the demise of

their competition in the media world.
CNN’s Brian Stelter mocked Infowars
today after they were banned by the far
left social media giants.
In July CNN reporter Oliver Darcy, at a
Facebook event with reporters on fake
news held in New York on Wednesday,
repeatedly demanded that Facebook
explain why Infowars has not been
banned from the site.

CNN’s push to ban Infowars was promoted by CNN and

 Three Questions CNN’s Jim Acosta
Won’t Dare Ask Special Counsel Robert Mueller
Will A Grandstanding White House Reporter Stop Protesting Long
Enough To Do Real Journalism?
By Mark Tapscott
Monday, August 6, 2018

Note that these questions are based on citations gleaned

from such notable right-wing internet conspiracy sites as
The New York Times, The Washington Post, Business
Insider, Huffington Post, and Perkins Coie.

Talking heads like CNN’s Jim Acosta are in maximum

meltdown mode over President Donald Trump’s tweets
calling the “fake news” published by the liberal
mainstream media “enemies of the people.”

Acosta (pictured above) demanded on Thursday that White

House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders disavow I look forward to seeing you in your finest hours as a
her boss’s comment, then tweeted this: journalist in pursuing answers to these questions:

“I walked out of the end of that briefing
because I am totally saddened by what just
happened. Sarah Sanders was repeatedly
given a chance to say the press is not the
enemy and she wouldn’t do it. Shameful.”
1.) Did Hillary Clinton collude with Russians in 2016?
Here are two undisputed facts, Jim, that make this the most
important unasked question of the Russia collusion
scandal:

Acosta has previously complained that “people are
developing their impressions of us by watching ‘Hannity’
and so on, and I say,
‘Hey, you know, give us a chance. Watch
us, and then make up your mind.'”
OK, Jim, speaking as somebody who has proudly made his
living as a journalist since 1985, I’m taking you up on your
invitation, but there is one string:
You first have to ask special counsel
Robert Mueller the following three
questions, and then, when he or his flack
give evasive responses, press in with the
second, third, fourth and succeeding follow-
up questions.
449
 It was Clinton, not Donald Trump, who paid for
opposition research dirt obtained from Russian
interests and compiled by former British spy
Christopher Steele in a dossier peddled to the
Department of Justice, FBI and news media.
 It was Clinton, not Donald Trump, who paid for that
information via three cutouts, the Democratic National
Committee, the Democratic Party defense firm Perkins
Coie, and the opposition research firm Fusion GPS.
 It was Clinton, not Donald Trump, with a long-standing
relationship with a second super-secret opposition
research firm that appears to have played an indirect
role in the FBI’s anti-Trump activities.
2.) This is equal justice?
 Why does Hillary Clinton get a pass — via anti-Trump
obsessive FBI agent Peter Strzok’s artful editing — on
multiple violations of the Espionage Act with her home-brew
email server, while Donald Trump gets a special counsel
who, after more than a year, has yet to produce any
evidence the president colluded with Russians as she did?
 There’s also the fact Clinton lied to the nation and to
the families of the four men murdered by radical Islamic
terrorists in the Benghazi attack by claiming the attack
was a protest against an obscure anti-Muslim
documentary — despite telling her daughter Chelsea
during the assault that it was mounted by terrorists.
 And there’s little doubt that Clinton’s family foundation
received millions of dollars in contributions and her
husband was paid a huge speaker’s fee by Russian
interests after she did nothing to stop the Uranium One
deal, which put 20 percent of America’s uranium
reserves under Russian control.
3.) Was Fusion GPS an unwitting Russian tool?
The relationship among Fusion GPS, Russian
lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, Christopher Steele, and the
Russian intelligence community looks suspiciously like a
Russian influence operation running a honey pot scam on
the Trump campaign.
450
 Veselnitskaya has misrepresented her connections to
the Russian government, which should raise serious
doubts about her account of the genesis of the Trump
Tower meeting during the 2016 campaign. She claimed
it was proposed to provide dirt on Clinton, but in the
actual meeting she talked almost entirely about U.S.
sanctions against Russian oligarchs close to Vladimir
Putin and his barring Americans from adopting Russian
children in retaliation.
 Veselnitskaya met with Fusion GPS co-founder Glen
Simpson immediately before and after the Trump
Tower meeting. Simpson told Congress those meetings
were about unrelated matters. If you accept that
explanation at face value, I am from the Pulitzer
committee and would like to know if you want one or
two of our prizes.
Please feel free to contact me for additional backgrounding
on these questions, as what is provided above barely even
skims the surface of the available evidence.
One more thing, Jim: Your grandstanding in the daily
news briefing at the White House has made you, for better
or worse, a symbol of the profession that I treasure and
honor — and that hundreds of our former colleagues over
the years have died to advance.
You owe them, buddy.
 DEVELOPING: Govt ‘Star Witness’
Rick Gates To Take The Stand In Manafort Trial
By Cristina Laila
August 6, 2018, 2:39 Pm
Rick Gates, Paul Manafort’s former
business associate is set to take the
witness stand Monday afternoon in the
bank fraud and tax evasion case against
Manafort.
Far left Politico reported:
Rick Gates, the longtime deputy of former
Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort,
is set to take the stand Monday afternoon
in Manafort’s trial on charges of bank and
tax fraud related to overseas earnings, a
lawyer for Gates told POLITICO.
Gates is considered the star witness for the
prosecution against Manafort — and his
testimony in an Alexandria, Virginia
courtroom is the first time he’s known to
.
451
have faced Manafort since he agreed to
cooperate with special counsel Robert
Mueller’s team in February.
Gates’ central roles in the campaign and
transition of President Donald Trump have
made him a pivotal witness in Mueller’s
ongoing probe. But he was also at
Manafort’s side while the pair conducted a
lobbying effort on behalf of a pro-Russia
political party in Ukraine years before they
joined Trump.
Last week, Mueller’s prosecutors sent
shockwaves through the Alexandria, VA
courtroom when they admitted
Manafort’s former business associate
Rick Gates may not testify.
Rick Gates previously pleaded guilty and agreed to
cooperate with Mueller; he was even referred to as the
Special Counsel’s ‘star witness.’
Judge T.S. Ellis blasted Uso Asonye, Mueller’s prosecutor
who told him Rick Gates may not testify.
Judge Ellis lost his patience with Mueller’s prosecutors
last Friday and ended court early, it will be interesting to
see how the trial progresses Monday with this
development.

 CNN’s John Berman Asks About The
‘Morality’ Of Trump Tower Meeting On ‘New Day’
Nick Givas | Media And Politics Reporter
3:09 PM 08/06/2018
Host of CNN’s “New Day” John Berman tried taking the
moral high ground against President Donald Trump
Monday and said his campaign’s meeting with Russian
officials may have crossed a line.
Berman was referring to the news of a meeting between
the Trump campaign and the Russian government to
discuss possible opposition research against former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“It’s up for interpretation right now. We do
not know, I think, how a court would decide
this,” Berman said. “But to suggest it’s
totally legal, which is what the president
said, not quite true at this point. Based on
our understanding of it. We don’t know.”
WATCH:
452
Berman suggested Trump and his attorney Jay Sekulow
are being dishonest with the American people and brought
up the possible moral implications of the Trump Tower
meeting.
“Also what Jay Sekulow said, ‘I don’t know
if any laws were violated or what law would
be violated.’ That’s not really true either,”
Berman continued.
“Beyond the law, there is the politics of this
and also just the morality of it,” he
concluded. “President Trump now says
something flat out, he says the meeting
that Donald, that meeting that Donald had
in Trump Tower, this was a meeting to get
information on an opponent … this is
admitting in a way that his statement he
dictated was misleading.”
 JUST IN: Govt ‘Star Witness’ Rick Gates
Testifies He Committed Crimes While Working For
Manafort Before Trump Campaign
By Cristina Laila
August 6, 2018, 4:05 Pm
Rick Gates, Paul Manafort’s former
business associate took the witness
stand Monday afternoon in the bank
fraud and tax evasion case against
Manafort.
Gates testified he committed crimes while
working for Paul Manafort–of course these
alleged crimes date back several years ago
before Manafort temporarily worked for the
Trump campaign.
Manafort reportedly stared directly at Gates
during his testimony, however, Gates did
not make eye contact with Manafort.
Via Fox News:
Rick Gates on Monday took the stand in
the federal fraud case against his former
business partner, ex-Trump campaign
chairman Paul Manafort, testifying that he
committed crimes while working for
Manafort.
“Were you involved in criminal activity
when you worked for Paul Manafort?”
federal prosecutor Greg Andres asked the
witness.
“Yes,” Gates replied.
“Did you commit a crime?” Andres asked.
“Yes,” Gates said.
Update: Gates also testified he helped
Manafort file false tax returns and
453
cheated Paul Manafort out of hundreds
of thousands of dollars, via CNN:
Gates told the jury he helped Manafort file
false tax returns by lying to his boss’
accountants about under-reporting
income, creating false loans, and not
disclosing Manafort’s ownership of the
foreign accounts.
In each of those instances Gates told the jury he lied “at
the direction of Mr Manafort.”
Prosecutor Greg Andres began walking Gates through his
plea agreement with Gates explaining his legal trouble
increased after he lied to prosecutors during the
investigation.
Rick Gates said he had been cheating Paul Manafort out of
money to the tune of “several hundred thousand” dollars.
Gates told the jury that as part of his
plea with the government, he revealed
several other crimes that were not
previously known and are not in the
federal indictments of him and
Manafort.
Gates said he stole the money from Manafort by
submitting to him false expense reports.
Those expenses paid to him came out of the foreign bank
accounts in Cyprus that Gates said he and Manafort
knowingly did not disclose to the federal government.
Gates said he also created a fake letter to an investment
company for a different colleague, Steve Brown. He also
overreported his income on mortgage and credit card
applications and lied to his own personal tax accountant.
Rick Gates also testified that he and Paul Manafort didn’t
report 15 foreign accounts even though they knew it was
illegal, reported CNN.
Manafort’s former accountant, Cindy Laporta, who was
given immunity, testified last week she had concerns
about the accuracy of Paul Manafort’s tax returns but filed
them anyway, reported Fox News,
Last week, Mueller’s prosecutors sent
shockwaves through the Alexandria, VA
courtroom when they admitted
Manafort’s former business associate
Rick Gates may not testify.
Rick Gates previously pleaded guilty and agreed to
cooperate with Mueller; he was even referred to as the
Special Counsel’s ‘star witness.’
Judge T.S. Ellis blasted Uso Asonye, Mueller’s prosecutor
who told him Rick Gates may not testify.
454
On Friday, Judge Ellis lost his patience with Mueller’s
prosecutors and ended court early, it will be interesting to
see how the trial progresses Monday with this
development.
Last week, Mueller’s prosecutors skewered Manafort over
his lavish lifestyle and expensive suits which drew a sharp
rebuke from Judge Ellis.
“It isn’t a crime to have money and be
profligate with your spending,” Judge Ellis
said to Mueller’s prosecutor.

 World News Skips July Jobs
As Unemployment Drops To 3.9% Again
By Julia A. Seymour
August 6, 2018 6:11 PM EDT
Forget the good economy. That’s what one network did as
ABC World News Tonight chose to ignore the news of
157,000 jobs added and 3.9 percent unemployment on
Aug. 3. The broadcast networks took three very different
approaches to covering the July jobs report.
CBS Evening News delivered the bare minimum that night
— reporting both numbers without commenting on them.
NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt called the figures
“mixed” and made other pessimistic remarks ahead of a
story about trade war fears, which incorporated the jobs
news.
NBC correspondent Tom Costello’s report was pessimistic
about the impact of China’s retaliatory tariffs, but
acknowledged hiring and the economy were still “strong.”
Both of those broadcast network newscasts ignored
upward revisions to May and June jobs figures which
caught the attention of CNBC. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics announced dramatic revisions, a combined total
of 59,000 more jobs, added to May and June figures.
Correspondent Kayla Tausche announced the latest
numbers on Squawk Box saying,
“After revisions, job gains averaged
224,000 over the last three months”
Senior economics reporter Steve Liesman’s reaction to the
report was,
“the big thing here is the revisions. The
revisions tell you the jobs market was a bit
stronger than we thought.”
.
455
Several CNBC contributors were unphased by the lower
number of jobs added in July, in light of those revisions
and other factors.
“Yes, it was a little light, but it certainly,
certainly isn’t reflecting some big slowing,”
editor Rick Santelli said later in the
broadcast.
Co-anchor Brian Sullivan was also upbeat saying,
“This is a strong economy even if the
headline number didn’t match consensus.”
Co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin asked Rick Santelli for
this thoughts on the report since his prediction had been
higher.
“Rick, You had been on the high side my
friend, I think you were at 237,000. What
are you thinking?” Sorkin asked.
“That’s ‘cause I see forward into the
revisions actually, factor them in. I should
probably stop doing that,” he replied as
everyone else laughed. “You know I love
Brian’s comments from top to bottom. He
wins the prize in my book.”
Santelli explained,
“Construction spending, manufacturing,
these are all good things in terms of the
revisions. Listen, there is not a material
slowing in jobs ... we have plenty of
employees that are gonna come back into
the workforce. The wages were three-
tenths month over month. Solid number, a
tenth better than last time.”
Sullivan also offered a shout out back to Tausche who
tweeted a potential reason for the lower July numbers. The
BLS report noted an offset of 32,000 job losses in the
category of toy stores.
“Toys ‘R Us bankruptcy. Weren’t most of
the stores liquidated in July? That might be
the reason the number missed consensus,”
Sullivan suggested.
 MSNBC: We Will Have A
'Charlie Hebdo' Massacre Because Of Trump
By Scott Whitlock
August 6, 2018 6:22 PM EDT
The journalists at MSNBC are awaiting a future killing in
order to blame Donald Trump for it. Appearing on
MSNBC Live, Monday, MSNBC contributor Jason
Johnson preemptively accused the President:
“We're going to have a Charlie Hebdo
situation here, without question.
Without question. It is going to happen.
Because of the behavior of this
president.”
Anti-Trump New York Times columnist Bret Stephens was
also on-hand and recounted getting a hateful call from a
racist. From that, he shifted to the booing of liberal CNN
journalist Jim Acosta at a recent rally:
“I think when the President goes to his
rallies and starts screaming about fake
news, the most he wants is for people to
give CNN's Jim Acosta a middle finger.
That's the emotion.”
However, he continued:
But if 1,000 people are giving Jim Acosta the middle
finger, some subset of that, maybe ten people, are people
like my caller. Some subset of that are going to take it to
the next step. There is someone out there. We live in the
age of the active shooter and the president is goading them.
He is inciting them.
MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle didn't object to any of these
accusations.
Johnson has a history of blaming Trump for everything.
Regarding high-profile cases of African Americans being
456
shot, the MSNBC contributor concluded it was because of
the “white supremacy presidency.” Another time,
Johnson deemed the administration a bunch of
“terrorists.”

STEPHANIE RUHLE: We should also remind our audience that
you're conservative.
BRET STEPHENS: Well, not a fan of the president. And that’s
what is key here. The only thing I've been similarly threatened is
by someone who later went to jail for supporting Hezbollah. So
we take this very seriously. Now, I put that voice mail to one side
for four weeks and then the killing at Annapolis, at the Capital
Gazette, five journalists murdered there. Then you have the
president going on about fake news. I think when the President
goes to his rallies and starts screaming about fake news, the
most he wants is for people to give CNN's Jim Acosta a middle
finger. That's the emotion.
But if 1,000 people are giving Jim Acosta the middle finger, some
subset of that, maybe ten people, are people like my caller.
Some subset of that are going to take it to the next step. There is
someone out there. We live in the age of the active shooter and
the president is goading them. He is inciting them. He's not
saying get rid of this turbulent priest but he's not a child who
doesn't know he's carrying a loaded gun. The blood will be on his

 MSNBC Panel: Journalists 'Will Get Injured Or Possibly
Killed' Due To Trump's 'Incendiary' Press Criticism
By Ryan Foley
August 6, 2018 7:15 PM EDT
During Sunday’s edition of MSNBC Live With Alex Witt,
the panel engaged in some serious hyperbole while
discussing President Trump’s most recent tweet declaring
the press the enemy of the people with two predicting that
his “incendiary” rhetoric towards the press will lead to
someone in the media to “get injured or possibly killed.”
Guest host David Gura spoke to writer and documentary
filmmaker Chris Whipple, who recently wrote a book
called The Gatekeepers: How The White House Chiefs of
Staff Define Every Presidency. Whipple changed the
subject away from a Trump tweet surrounding the
infamous Trump Tower meeting to another tweet President
Trump sent out on Sunday morning describing the media
as “very dangerous & sick!”
Whipple described the President’s tweet as “outrageous,”
“incendiary,” and “dangerous,” adding:
“It’s only a matter of time if he continues
before someone will get injured or possibly
killed. And I agree with Bret Stephens that
if that happens, blood will be on Donald
Trump’s hands.”
According to Whipple, not only will the President have
blood on his hands but his entire inner circle will also bear
responsibility for any hypothetical violence against a
member of the media, ruling that “this is also on them.”
Whipple stressed that President Trump’s
inner circle has a “responsibility to tell
Donald Trump that this is outrageous”
because “it’s right out of Joseph Stalin’s
playbook, someone is going to get killed.”
461
Panelist and former Hillary Clinton aide Adrienne
Elrod agreed with Whipple that the President’s rhetoric
about the press will lead to a tragedy, saying “somebody is
going to get hurt.” She also complained that President
Trump would even think about criticizing LeBron James;
whom she described as
“one of the biggest icons in United States
sports history, one of the most popular
figures across the spectrum in the United
States of America today.”
As always, the liberal media will never cease to disappoint
when it comes to predicting that, when push comes to
shove, they make things about themselves.

DAVID GURA: Rina Shah, I want to get your perspective on this
as well, a rather extraordinary tweet, I think you can admit. Your
sense here of what it means for the President, what it means for
the Republicans, many of whom are back home in their districts
right now campaigning for reelection.
RINA SHAH: Well, I think the focus here is Don Jr. And genuinely
when we know now more Americans will agree that when the
President says something we should believe to the contrary.
Truly Don Trump Jr. is in hot water here and I’m reminded of a
quote from one of his e-mails in 2016 that said “if it’s what you
say, I love it,” especially later in the summer. Here we are later in
the summer two years later and we know what Don Jr. was trying
to do. He was essentially trying to plan when this supposed dirt
that the Russians could provide, he was trying to plan when it
could hurt the Clinton campaign and when it would release and
so I think here we have to parse this all out slowly and carefully
but the remarkable thing here is that Don Jr. is very, very clearly
put the President in trouble and the President is worried. There is
factual evidence that lying to Congress, Don Jr. is what he did.
We have no yet proof of that but factual evidence could lead to
him really heading to some real legal trouble.
GURA: Chris Whipple, when I look at this, when I look at the
week that was, what strikes me is just a real intractability,
uncontrollability of this, this President. Top of the hour, Kelly
O’Donnell out there near Bedminster telling us it’s unlikely the
President’s got his lawyer at his arm here to tell him don’t send
that tweet, it’s probably not in your best interest to do it. What is
this? This artifact, these 280 characters tell you about the ability
for the President’s staff to maybe not even control him but advise
him. And we certainly saw that relief this week when you saw five
distinguished members of his national security team come out
and try to deliver a unified message only to have him turn it on its
head just a few hours later.
CHRIS WHIPPLE: Well, he’s completely out of control. And I
think that obviously all of these tweets this morning are trouble.
Don Jr. attacking Lebron, we can talk about that all day. To me,
the real story is the tweet he sent this morning once again
attacking the press as the enemy of the people, calling journalists
sick. It’s outrageous, it’s incendiary and it’s dangerous. It’s only
a matter of time if he continues before someone will get
injured or possibly killed. And I agree with Bret Stephens, that
if that happens, blood will be on Donald Trump’s hands. Not only
that but I think this goes to the inner circle around Donald Trump
and I mean by that, John Kelly, Ivanka Trump, Hope Stevens if
she’s on Air Force One…
GURA: Hope Hicks, yes.
WHIPPLE: These, it is their…this is also on them. It is their
responsibility to tell Donald Trump that this is outrageous,
it’s right out of Joseph Stalin’s play book, someone is going
to get killed and I think that they all have to think about their
own responsibility when he does it.
.
462
DAVID GURA: Adrienne Elrod, you’ve worked on campaigns,
you’ve advised candidates and I just wonder how extraordinary
this is that none of this seems to be getting through to the
President, whether it’s a column in The New York Times saying
what Chris Whipple said there that there could be blood on the
President’s hands, that there’s real danger and peril here to the
fact there are real risks still of what might happen in the midterms
and elections after them, how extraordinary is this that no adviser
seems to be able to penetrate the President’s thinking?
ADRIENNE ELROD: You know, it’s very extraordinary and it’s
very dangerous and the bottom line is he cannot be controlled.
Donald Trump is going to do what Donald Trump wants to do.
We’ve seen from the past that any time he’s really panicked
about something I think in this case this morning he became very
panicked about, you know, what could possibly happen from a
legal standpoint to his son Donald Trump Jr. And what he does is
he lashes out. He, you know, over the weekend, criticized Lebron
James, one of the biggest icons in United States sports history,
one of the most popular figures across the spectrum in the United
States of America today. You know, he doesn’t care, he just
lashes out. It’s very dangerous, this war that he has against
the media to the point that Chris just made is beyond
reprehensible. Somebody is going to get hurt. Any time he
has any sort of concern about the way the media covers him,
instead of saying, you know what, maybe I should use this
constructively to change my demeanor, instead he lashes out at
the press and calls it fake news. So again, he’s out of control. I
don’t know if Hope Hicks being back on the plane will somehow
create some sort of more level-headed Donald Trump. I don’t
think it will but we’re really moving into some dangerous times
here.
 REVEALED: CHINA Murdered Or
Imprisoned 20 CIA Operatives And Sources While
Feinstein Had A Chinese Spy As Office Manager
By Jim Hoft
August 6, 2018, 7:47 Pm
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the former chair of the
US Senate Intelligence Committee, and her former office
manager and Chinese spy Russell Lowe.
Russell Lowe was identified on Monday
night as a Chinese spy. He was Senator
Dianne Feinsein’s office manager.
Lowe is a Chinese-American who spent
20 years as the aide to Dianne Feinstein.
Lowe worked for Feinstein while she
was chair of the US Senate Intelligence
Committee.
Now this…
The Chinese government murdered or
imprisoned 18-20 CIA sources from
2010 to 2012 while Feinstein had a
Chinese spy as her office manager.
Business Insider reported:
463
China killed or imprisoned 18 to 20 CIA
sources from 2010 to 2012, hobbling U.S.
spying operations in a massive intelligence
breach whose origin has not been
identified, the New York Times reported on
Saturday.
Investigators remain divided over whether
there was a spy within the Central
Intelligence Agency who betrayed the
sources or whether the Chinese hacked the
CIA’s covert communications system, the
newspaper reported, citing current and
former U.S. officials.
The Chinese killed at least a dozen people
providing information to the CIA from 2010
through 2012, dismantling a network that
was years in the making, the newspaper
reported.
One was shot and killed in front of a government building
in China, three officials told the Times, saying that was
designed as a message to others about working with
Washington.
The breach was considered particularly damaging, with the
number of assets lost rivaling those in the Soviet Union
and Russia who perished after information passed to
Moscow by spies Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen, the
report said. Ames was active as a spy in the 1980s and
Hanssen from 1979 to 2001.
The CIA declined to comment when asked about the
Times report on Saturday.
 Coincidence? Feinstein Employed
Chinese Spy For 20 Years As Her Husband Raked In
Millions In Chinese Business
By Cristina Laila
August 6, 2018, 7:58 Pm
New details were released this week on
how California Democrat Senator
Dianne Feinstein had a Communist
Chinese spy by her side for nearly 20
years.
Feinstein reportedly ‘found out’ that her staffer was a
Chinese spy in 2013–while she was the Chairman of the
Senate Intelligence Committee–RIGHT, OK.
The Chinese spy who worked for Senator Dianne Feinstein
was identified on Monday night.
The Daily Caller reported the name of the spy is Russell
Lowe.
Russell Lowe was Senator Feinsein’s
office manager.
Dianne Feinstein and her 3rd husband
Richard Blum whom she married in 1980
made MILLIONS off of their financial
interests in China.
Richard Blum made millions of dollars off of his Chinese
investments–his investments in China flourished after his
wife, Dianne Feinstein became a US Senator in 1992.
Feinstein traveled to China several
times with her husband and
even bragged to an LA Times
reporter about being the first foreigner
464
to visit mass murderer, Mao Tse-tung’s
old residence where he died.
The Chinese spy mysteriously appeared on the scene in
1993 just ONE YEAR after Feinstein was elected to the
Senate in 1992. Coincidence? We think not.
Feinstein’s husbands investments in China have dogged
the Senator for decades.
In fact, federal investigators detected that the Chinese
government was trying to win favors with Feinstein–the
FBI warned Dianne Feinstein in the mid-90’s that China
was trying to improperly influence her through illegal
campaign contributions, reported the LA Times.
More from the LA Times previous report:
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-
Calif.) has emerged as one of the
staunchest proponents of closer U.S.
relations with China, fighting for permanent
most-favored-nation trading status for
Beijing.
At the same time, far from the spotlight,
Feinstein’s husband, Richard C. Blum, has
expanded his private business interests in
China–to the point that his firm is now a
prominent investor inside the communist
nation.
For years, Feinstein and Blum have
insisted that they maintained a solid
“firewall” between her role as an influential
foreign policy player and his career as a
private investor overseas.
But such closely coinciding interests are
highly unusual for major figures in public
life in Washington. And now, as
controversy heats up over improper foreign
influence in the U.S. political process, the
effectiveness of the firewall between those
interests could be called into question.
On Thursday, after he was interviewed by
The Times about his China business, Blum
announced that he will donate future profits

 CNN Goes To Motorcycle Rally To Talk Russian Collusion
— Gets Reality Check From Man Dressed As Skeleton
Benny Johnson | Reporter At Large
9:35 PM 08/06/2018

CNN sent a reporter to Sturgis, South Dakota, to ask

questions of some of the hundreds of thousands of bikers
who travel to the remote city each year for the largest biker
gathering in the world.

CNN reporter Bill Weir wandered around the blue-collar

town in a CNN ‘Facts First’ shirt asking weathered, pro-
Trump bikers if they cared about Russian collusion
charges against Trump. CNN was shut down each time.

One biker said the “dark cloud” of Russian

collusion was “over a lot of politicians,” and
that people are going after Trump because
he is “on the outside.”
“How come the Clintons can do things and
no one else can?” the biker asked.

Another biker said of Trump meeting Putin,

“I don’t see any reason to call him out. If

they don’t want to be friends it is another
story?” Weir went on to complain about the lack of minorities in
the rural town, saying,
One of the funniest reality checks for Weir, however, came
from a man in a skeleton outfit. Weir spoke with the rider “This is one city that looks nothing like the
named “John” who is identified as a postal worker from rest of America,” Weir, who is a white male,
Kentucky. He first asked John if he thinks Trump is doing observes, “You can go hours without
a good job. seeing a person of color. In Sturgis, a

“He is doing a lot better than what Obama
did,” John said. Then Weir asked about Eventually, bikers surrounded Weir and called him “fake
Russian collusion charges. John got woke: news.”
“They’re saying Hillary colluded with them.

 Democrats Circulate Plans To Take
Control Of Internet Including Regulations
On Political Speech
By Jim Hoft
August 6, 2018, 9:56 Pm
Senate Democrats are circulating their
plan to take control of the internet.
The plans include mandatory location
verification, mandatory identity
identification, and disclosure
requirements for political speech.
The document follows this article.
Reason.com reported:
A leaked memo circulating among Senate
Democrats contains a host of bonkers
authoritarian proposals for regulating digital
platforms, purportedly as a way to get
tough on Russian bots and fake news. To
save American trust in “our institutions,
democracy, free press, and markets,” it
suggests, we need unprecedented and
undemocratic government intervention into
online press and markets, including
“comprehensive (GDPR-like) data
protection legislation” of the sort enacted in
the E.U.
Titled “Potential Policy Proposals for
Regulation of Social Media and Technology
Firms,” the draft policy paper—penned by
Sen. Mark Warner and leaked by an
unknown source to Axios—the paper starts
out by noting that Russians have long
spread disinformation, including when “the
Soviets tried to spread ‘fake news’
denigrating Martin Luther King” (here he
fails to mention that the Americans in
charge at the time did the same). But NOW
IT’S DIFFERENT, because technology.
“Today’s tools seem almost built for
Russian disinformation techniques,”
Warner opines. And the ones to come, he
assures us, will be even worse.
Here’s how Warner is suggesting we deal:
468
Mandatory location verification. The paper
suggests forcing social media platforms to
authenticate and disclose the geographic
origin of all user accounts or posts.
Mandatory identity verification: The paper
suggests forcing social media and tech
platforms to authenticate user identities
and only allow “authentic” accounts
(“inauthentic accounts not only pose
threats to our democratic process…but
undermine the integrity of digital markets”),
with “failure to appropriately address
inauthentic account activity” punishable as
“a violation of both SEC disclosure rules
and/or Section 5 of the [Federal Trade
Commission] Act.”
Bot labeling: Warner’s paper suggests
forcing companies to somehow label bots
or be penalized (no word from Warner on
how this is remotely feasible)
Define popular tech as “essential facilities.”
These would be subject to all sorts of
heightened rules and controls, says the
paper, offering Google Maps as an
example of the kinds of apps or platforms
that might count. “The law would not
mandate that a dominant provider offer the
serve for free,” writes Warner. “Rather, it
would be required to offer it on reasonable
and non-discriminatory terms” provided by
the government.
Other proposals include more disclosure
requirements for online political speech,
more spending to counter supposed
cybersecurity threats, more funding for the
Federal Trade Commission, a requirement
that companies’ algorithms can be audited
by the feds (and this data shared with
universities and others), and a requirement
of “interoperability between dominant
platforms.”

 Chairman Nunes: We Need To Declassify Carter Page
FISA Docs – FBI Withheld Exculpatory Evidence From
FISA Judges (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
August 6, 2018, 10:20 Pm
House Intel Chairman Devin Nunes (R-
CA) revealed a few bombshells when
speaking to FOX News’s Sean Hannity
Monday evening.
First, Chairman Nunes told Hannity the DOJ has handed
over to Congressional investigators all the requested
classified documents under subpoena.
“As of tonight, we’re getting closer and
closer to having to having the information
that we need,” Nunes said. “All the issues
that were in our subpoena either we’ve
been able to review or they’ve been
delivered to the committee in one form or
fashion of another,” Nunes continued.
Nunes then shifted his focus to the 20 pages of the Carter
Page FISA docs that the House Intel Panel has requested
the President to declassify.
The same 20 pages from the June 2017 FISA renewal app
Rod Rosenstein signed that President Trump is reportedly
going to declassify soon, according to investigative
reporter, Paul Sperry.
“We need these docs declassified,” Nunes
said.
“There is exculpatory evidence that we
have seen in the classified documents that
need to be declassified –the Carter Page
.
492
FISA, the judges should have been
presented with this exculpatory evidence
the FBI and DOJ had,” Nunes told Hannity.
Nunes then told the Hannity to pay close attention to Bruce
Ohr.
“Bruce Ohr is going to become more and
more important in this investigation and I
think people should pay close attention to
it,” Nunes said.
Lawmakers are demanding the
declassification of the FBI’s 302 notes
on 12 interviews they conducted with
twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr
between December 2016 – May 2017.
The FBI interviews will shed light on Bruce Ohr’s
relationship with Fusion GPS, the oppo research firm his
wife, Nellie Ohr worked for.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley is especially
frustrated with the DOJ’s stonewalling as he has been
seeking documents on Bruce Ohr for several months.
President Trump may also possibly
declassify the FBI’s 302 notes on 12
interviews they conducted with twice-
demoted DOJ official Bruce
Ohr between December 2016 – May
2017.
Sean Hannity warned last Thursday evening something big
is coming out that will blow the Russia hoax out of the
water, perhaps it has something to do with Bruce Ohr and
the FISA app signed by Rosenstein.

Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort’s former
business partner Rick Gates admitted in court Monday to
stealing “several hundred thousand” dollars from Manafort

accounts to the federal government “at Mr. Manafort’s
direction.” Gates previously interned for Manafort at the
lobbying firm Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly and
continued to work for Manafort when he left the firm in
2006, reports CNN.
The testimony comes after Gates agreed in February to
cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller in the tax
and bank fraud trial of Manafort
Gates and Manafort operated a lucrative lobbying firm
working for pro-Russian factions in Ukraine prior to
campaigning on behalf of President Donald Trump.
While helping facilitate fraud for Manafort, Gates testified
he submitted false expense reports paid to accounts in
Cyprus in order to steal hundreds of thousands from
Manafort. He also admitted to leaving information out of a
lawsuit deposition at Manafort’s bidding.
Manafort’s defense counters that Gates embezzled millions
from Manafort over the course of their partnership.
 All Signs Point To One Man As
Chinese Spy In Feinstein’s Staff, And He
Wasn’t A Driver …
Peter Hasson | Reporter
11:09 PM 08/06/2018

All of those details point to Lowe, who was listed on

Feinstein’s payroll as an “office director” in 2013,
according to records maintained by the Sunlight
Foundation.

Lowe joined then-San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and other

according to the consulate’s event recap.
By 2014, Lowe was gone from Feinstein’s staff. When he
spoke at an April 2014 conference on Chinese investment
in the United States, he was introduced as a “former
assistant to Senator Feinstein.”

All the details of a former, longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein

staffer who’s accused of relaying information to Chinese
intelligence services while working for the California
Democrat point to Russell Lowe, a Daily Caller News
Foundation investigation has determined.

Lowe worked for 20 years in Feinstein’s San Francisco

office, where he was a staff liaison to the Asian-American
community before leaving approximately five years ago.
All those details match up with the descriptions of the
Chinese spy Feinstein reportedly employed.

“Chinese intelligence once recruited a staff

member at a California office of U.S.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, and the source
reported back to China about local politics,”
Politico Magazine reported on July 27,
describing the staffer as “a liaison to the

secretly “reporting back” to Chinese
intelligence services. Hankoryeh, a South Korean news publication, described
Lowe in October 2017 as

spy, including that he worked for Feinstein for 20 “a Chinese-American who spent 20 years

 Lowe visited the publication’s Seoul office at that time
with former Democratic California Rep. Mike Honda, who
left office in January 2017 after losing to progressive
challenger Ro Khanna in 2016.
Feinstein has said that the spy had “no
access to sensitive information,” and the
former staffer was never prosecuted.
Lowe now works with the Education for Social Justice
Foundation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that says it’s
focused on
“educating the public on the Japanese
military’s ‘comfort women’ system, which
forced over 200,000 girls and women from
at least 13 Asian countries into sexual
slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army
before and during WWII.”

Efforts to contact Lowe through the foundation were
unsuccessful. Feinstein’s office declined to answer
TheDCNF’s questions about Lowe and instead released a
broad statement from the senator.
“Five years ago the FBI informed me it had
concerns that an administrative member of
my California staff was potentially being
sought out by the Chinese government to
provide information. He was not a mole or
a spy, but someone who a foreign
intelligence service thought it could recruit,”
Feinstein said.
“The FBI reviewed the matter, shared its
concerns with me and the employee
immediately left my office. He never had
access to classified or sensitive information
or legislative matters. The FBI never
informed me of any compromise of national
security information.”
 “LOOK AT ME!” Judge Ellis Gets Into 10-Minute
Argument With Mueller’s Prosecutors

Radzinschi/THE NATIONAL LAW JOURNAL.
Rick Gates, Paul Manafort’s former
business associate took the witness
stand Monday afternoon in the bank
fraud and tax evasion case against
Manafort.
After jurors were dismissed, Judge T.S. Ellis scolded one
of Mueller’s prosecutors and a 10-minute courtroom spat
ensued.
FOX News reported, at one point Judge Ellis felt
disrespected after one of Mueller’s prosecutors looked
down instead of looking directly at him and screamed,
“Look at me!”
“You looked down as if to say ‘that’s B.S.!’”
Ellis said. “I’m up here!”
Class is in session!
Via Fox News:
U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III specifically
pushed Andres on why the prosecution
was moving slowly with Rick Gates – the
former Manafort business partner
who testified on Monday – and specifically
to describe the link between wealthy
Ukrainian politicos and Manafort. Ellis
argued that the connection was not the
basis of the case.
496
“What matters are the allegations that he
made money from them and didn’t report
it,” Ellis said. “You don’t need to throw mud
at these people.”
Ellis again compared the Ukrainians in
question to American billionaires and “Mr.
Koch and Mr. Soros” as political
contributors.
“I don’t know why you keep bringing (up)
these people,” Andres said, referring to the
Ukrainians. “These people are not like any
Americans. These people are oligarchs and
that means they control a segment of the
economy based on the governments
allowing them to do that.”’
“These are not really political
contributions,” he continued. “They are self-
serving payments with respect to what
oligarchs do.”
“That makes it even clearer to me that it
doesn’t have anything to do with the
allegations in this case,” Ellis responded. “It
throws dirt on these people. They may
deserve it. I don’t know – and I don’t care.”
At another point in the exchange Andres
could be heard challenging Ellis on a
technicality. “Respectively, judge, that is
not what the law is,” Andres responded
bluntly at one point.
The most heated moment of the debate,
however, took place when Ellis got
perturbed by Andres not looking up at him
while speaking.
“Look at me! Don’t look down,” Ellis
demanded.
Then, when Andres responded that he was
looking at a relevant document, the
exchange grew testier.
“You looked down as if to say ‘that’s
B.S.!’” Ellis said. “I’m up here!”
On Monday, Gates testified he committed crimes while
working for Paul Manafort–of course these alleged crimes
date back several years ago before Manafort temporarily
worked for the Trump campaign.
Gates also testified he helped Manafort file false tax Last week, Mueller’s prosecutors skewered Manafort over
returns and cheated Paul Manafort out of hundreds of his lavish lifestyle and expensive suits which drew a sharp

Judge Ellis is known for being colorful with his comments “It isn’t a crime to have money and be

 Devin Nunes Says 'Pay Close Attention':
Top Obama DOJ Official Bruce Ohr Will Become
'More And More Important'
By Daniel Chaitin

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-

Calif., said on Monday that Bruce Ohr, a former top
official in the Justice Department, will become "more and
more important" as GOP lawmakers look for evidence of
power abuse and corruption at the highest levels of the
Obama administration.
"I think people should pay close attention to
it," the California Republican said to Fox
News' Sean Hannity.
Nunes was referring to findings that suggest Christopher
Steele, the former British spy who compiled the Trump
dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign, kept supplying
allegations to the FBI after the 2016 election, even though
by that point he was terminated as a source by the bureau
for giving confidential information to the media.
Congressional investigators have found that Ohr, who was
the fourth-highest ranking official in the Justice
Department, acted as an intermediary between Steele after
he was terminated as a source and the FBI's investigation
into ties between the Russians and President Trump's 2016
campaign. When Ohr gave the bureau information from
Steele, agents made a record of it, and those records are in
the form of so-called 302 reports, in which the FBI agents
write up notes of interviews during an investigation.
Futhermore, Nellie Ohr, the wife of Bruce Ohr, was
employed by Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm
that commissioned the dossier in an effort that was funded
in part by Democrats, to assist in the cultivation of
research on then-candidate Trump.
There are a dozen 302 reports on post-election interviews
about Ohr. In a a July letter, Senate Judiciary Committee
Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told the FBI and
Justice Department there is
"no continuing justification for the FBI to
keep the documents secret."
The 302s and Ohr were listed as one of three subjects in
which Nunes said he and other congressional investigators
still need information from the Justice Department.
Rounding out that list was again pressing President Trump
to declassify the warrant used to gain the authority to spy
on onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page and
"exculpatory evidence that we have seen of
classified documents that need to be
declassified."

498
Nunes and fellow GOP chairmen Trey Gowdy, R-S.C.,
and Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., have pressed the DOJ for
months for documents related to the Russia and Hillary
Clinton emails investigations, with some success.
Though he complained that DOJ was dragging its feat,
Nunes said,
"as of tonight we are getting closer and
closer to having the information that we
need."
.
499
"They are provided — they have allowed —
all the issues that were in our subpoena
they have now — either we've been able to
review, our investigators have been able to
review what they have been delivered to
the committee in one form or fashion or
another. Let's put that aside, there is still
more that has to be done and we are a
month late," he added.
 Anderson Cooper Repeatedly Fails
To Bait Black Guests Into Calling Trump Racist
By Bill D'Agostino
August 6, 2018 11:31 PM EDT

On Monday evening, CNN’s Anderson Cooper endured

the political equivalent of banging one’s head against a
wall as he continuously failed to frame President Trump as
a racist for questioning the intelligence of NBA star
LeBron James. In a segment near the end of his 8:00 p.m.
Eastern show, a frustrated Cooper repeatedly saw his
narrative shot down by two black guests, neither of whom
appeared willing to act as the racial pawns that the CNN
host clearly wished they would be.

The trouble started almost immediately for Cooper. He

turned first to Harvard professor Cornel West, inquiring
what he made of
“the latest example of the President
criticizing a well-known African-
American person on intelligence.”
West declined to respond to the Trump-related aspect of
the story, insisting that the panel “keep the focus where it
belong[ed],” — on the school in Cleveland that Lebron
James was opening.
Cooper then gave the same question to CNN political
commentator (and Trump supporter) Paris Dennard. This
time, he mentioned Congresswoman Maxine Waters and
CNN host Don Lemon as well — two other black public
figures whose intelligence the President had derided in the
past. Dennard, too, rejected the CNN host’s framing: “If
[Trump] feels that something is said about him that is
negative or harsh, he’ll respond to someone who’s
black, he’ll respond to someone that’s a woman, he’ll
respond to someone that’s white.”
The CNN host again asked his guests whether they saw
“any commonality” in the President’s “go-to criticisms
on African Americans.” To his chagrin, neither agreed
with his premise. His face fell as West agreed with
Dennard’s claim that the President had insulted far more
than just African-Americans as “dumb,”:
Well, no, he has called some white sisters
dumb. I think he called sister Mika on
MSNBC dumb. So I think brother Paris is
right. He uses ‘dumb’ across race, across
gender… so yes Paris, it’s true, he’s an
equal-opportunity gangster across the
board.
Having sufficiently failed in his attempt to exploit the
racial heritage of his guests, Cooper opted to finish the
discussion there, and ended the segment after a final
lengthy tangent from West.
Read a transcript of the segment below:

Cooper grew increasingly frustrated with this defense of
the President as the segment wore on. As he reached the
end of his rope, he offered the only rationalization he could
conjure up to explain Dennard’s stubborn refusal to call
the President a racist:
It’s fascinating to me though, Paris. Look, I get that you’re
a supporter of the President, and that’s your gig, and you
can’t publicly break from him because then you’ll get in
trouble, I guess.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360
08/06/2018
8:44 — 8:52 p.m. EDT
ANDERSON COOPER: Professor, I'm wondering what you make
of this which is just the latest example of the president criticizing
a well-known African American person on intelligence.
DR. CORNEL WEST: Well, I think we need to keep the focus
where it belongs, because it's clear that president Trump doesn't
focus on what he ought to. The focus is on first Gloria Marie
James, a mother, magnificent black woman who raises
a magnificent son who becomes one of the greatest athletes in

500
the history of modern times, who then uses his greatness to
serve others…
COOPER: Paris, what does it say to you that the president
doesn't on what Dr. West is talking about, and what Melania was
trying to focus on, and instead just goes after him, calling him
dumb. Same with Don Lemon, as he’s called Maxine Waters low
IQ, and others.
PARIS DENNARD: What we know about this President is he
doesn't attack first, but he always responds. He responds to you
if he feels something is said about him that is negative or harsh,
he'll respond to someone who’s black, he'll respond to
someone that’s a woman, he'll respond to someone that is
white. That's just how the president was when he was a
private citizen, a candidate, and now the president.
The real focus should be on the president supporting things
like charter schools and school choice and parental choice,
and trying to figure out ways how we can improve school
systems across the country, not just in Akron, Ohio, — which I
think is a positive thing. But I think and I hope that LeBron James
and others will come to the table with the federal government,
with the Trump administration, and try to find ways to make this
solution more of a national solution, not just singly focus on
Akron, Ohio, which is still a very good thing.
COOPER: But of course none of that was said by the president
of the United States, Dr. West. What he did say and what he has
said before about Congresswoman Waters is one of the oldest
kind of racist tropes, racist attacks on African Americans in
this country: questioning the intelligence of it. It was an obsession
among racists, you know, for centuries.
WEST: No I think there is no doubt. We've got a whole line and
lineage of racist, misogynist, homophobic things said about this
president. But that's like saying the sky is blue and grass is
green. The challenge is — and I was raised in such a way you
don’t get in the gutter with a gangster. You respond with positive
ways of accenting greatness, service, vision, struggle,
courage. This cycle can go on and on and on with him saying
these kinds of things. When talks about sister Maxine Waters,
saying low-IQ. We know that's racist and sexist to the core, but
you don't respond by somehow trying to react and simply counter
what he said.
DENNARD: A quick point, just to correct Dr. West, the
president, again, is not the one that is on the attack. He is always
responding to things that have been said about him by
Congressman [sic] Waters, by LeBron James, by others. And so
the president is not sitting here going on the attack. He is
responding to. So that’s an important distinction.
COOPER: But Paris, that's the response of a 12-year-old. I
mean, a 12-year-old can't stop themselves if somebody
says something, they say something equally mean or worse, or
a 5-year-old. This is the president of the United States. I mean,
he watched an interview in which LeBron James is talking about,
501
you know, this extraordinary thing that he's doing, and speaking
about it in a really beautiful way. About getting kids — you know,
the power of a bicycle and a helmet for a kid, when kid and
going out and being able to see other worlds and giving him a
sense of freedom. You know, and his -- he took none that
of away from this. All he said, he tweets, “Don Lemon made
LeBron look smart, which isn't easy to do.” I mean, that’s —
DENNARD: Anderson, you can gloss over the facts of what
LeBron James actually said about the president, which was
not positive. I don't understand why he was even talking about
president Trump in this interview about this wonderful school.
COOPER: Because we he was asked a question about him.
DENNARD: Exactly. And I don’t understand why in past tweets
he has gone on the attack about president trump. So if you want
to call the president on the antics of the president —
COOPER: Because President Trump said — has said —
DENNARD: — as a child, then you can say that LeBron is acting
like a child, because he is saying these things that are petty, that
are childish about the President of the United States. So either it
goes both ways or it doesn't.
WEST: No, no, no, no, no. LeBron was telling the truth. It was
Donald Trump who called the black athletes “sons of bitches.” It
was Donald Trump who mistreated Stephen Curry and others
who hadn’t even planned on going to the White House. So
brother Paris, let's be honest, here we go again, let’s just be
honest, it's Trump who is using this kind of vicious language.
DENNARD: Vicious language? So if that's vicious —
WEST: That's right.
DENNARD: — then LeBron James calling the president via
Twitter “bum" would be vicious as well.
COOPER: .It’s fascinating to me though, Paris. Look, I get that
you’re a supporter of the President, and that’s your gig, and you
can’t publicly break from him because then you’ll get in trouble, I
guess.
DENNARD: Anderson, you're wrong. I'm a grown man and I have
my own opinions. I don’t work for the Trump administration, I
never worked for the campaign, and they don't pay me.
COOPER: Okay, good.
DENNARD: So I have my own opinions and I’ve been a
Republican since I was 16 years old. Thank you.
COOPER: Okay. So let me ask you. You see no problem with
the president of the United States going to the state of Alabama
and calling African American football players who are exercising
their right, whether you agree with them or not, “sons of bitches,”
and that they should be fired. Saying that in the state of Alabama,
with all the history we know in the state of Alabama, saying that
in a public forum. And then calling Maxine waters low-IQ
multiple times, and then calling Don Lemon stupid, or whatever
he called him, and LeBron James dumb. You don’t see — you
don’t believe that there is any commonality in the criticisms, his
go-to criticisms on African Americans? You don’t see any
through-line to this?
DENNARD: Well, Anderson, I have said on CNN a number of
times and even said privately in the west wing that I did not think
it was appropriate or the right words —
COOPER: I’m saying do you see a through line in it? Do you see
a common —
DENNARD: Let me finish. Saying that it was right to say “sons of
bitches,” I did not think appropriate and I think that was smart.
And I said that wasn't a good thing to do. I said that on CNN,
and I said it privately in the West Wing. Now, I do see a
commonality in all these statements that the president is doing,
and the common denominator is the president is responding
to people who have said things that have been negative or harsh,
or that have attacked him personally, or attacked his family, or
attacked his character. The president has done this to African-
Americans, to white people, to white men, to white women, to
members of his own cabinet.
502
COOPER: Professor West, do you think there's a commonality in
—
WEST: No. He has called some white sisters dumb. I think he
called sister Mika on MSNBC dumb. So I think brother Paris is
right; he uses dumb across race, across gender. But the
problem is, is that when he focuses on people of color and talks
about that — uses that kind of language, we have a history that
goes a long way that goes a long way, that accents the deep
white supremacist overtones, even as he's calling a white male
dumb or white women dumb. And I mean sexism, women have
been called dumb for two thousand years. What a male
supremacists lie. So that, yes, Paris, it's true, he’s an equal
opportunity gangster across the board.
Our challenge is going to be — and I will tell you this, brother
Paris. If somebody call you a vicious name and I thought it was
wrong, I would defend you based on principle even though we
don't agree on a whole lot. But we human beings. And I know
there's gangster in me. There's gangster in you. There's gangster
in Trump. There's gangster in Anderson. The challenge is, how
do we get control of those gangster elements such that we lived
a life of some decency and a slice of integrity? That's what we're
talking about. It's all about
accountability. Accountability. Accountability.
 Dianne Feinstein’s PATHETIC Excuse Following Chinese
Spy Revelation Proves Mueller Probe IS A Witch Hunt
Posted On August 6, 2018
(National Sentinel) Bias: Last week a report from far-
Left Politico detailing Russian and Chinese espionage
efforts in Silicon Valley contained a massive bombshell
nugget that ought to have been the top story for a week for
every major news outlet.
In reporting on the ongoing espionage efforts, which are
aimed at stealing trade and technology secrets, the news
site noted that the Chinese especially are also conducting
political espionage, as there is a large ethnic Chinese
presence in San Francisco and the surrounding area.
As reported in the August 3 issue of Flashpoint
Intelligence Review:
Spies from Russia and China are
increasingly targeting American technology
firms concentrated in Silicon Valley in
California to conduct industrial espionage,
but what’s more worrisome is that U.S.
intelligence officials don’t believe American
tech companies are prepared to deal with
the growing threat. Because of the region’s
“open, experimental, cosmopolitan work
and business culture,” foreign spies are
employing “newer, ‘softer,’ nontraditional”
espionage tactics. Most are targeting trade
secrets and sophisticated technologies.
One former intelligence official said that
recently one-fifth of all active FBI
counterintelligence operations involving
intellectual property cases came from the
San Francisco Bay Area.
There is also a fair amount of political
espionage taking place involving China,
especially. While Beijing is definitely
503
focused on stealing U.S. trade and
technology secrets, it is also conducting
traditional political intelligence-gathering
operations as well. Former intelligence
officials even said that China managed
to recruit a staffer at Sen. Dianne
Feinstein’s office, who then reported
back to Beijing about local politics.
Subsequent reporting by local media noted further that the
staffer
worked for Feinstein for about 20 years,
including the fact that the spy was
Feinstein’s driver.
The Politico bombshell report did not escape the attention
of POTUS Donald Trump, who singled Feinstein out for
ridicule over the weekend.
“The leader of the Russia investigation,
Dianne Feinstein, had a Chinese spy as
her driver for 20 years. And she’s leading
the Russian ‘witch hunt.’ Isn’t that
something? And then she says to me,
‘What did you know about this and that?’
Give me a break,” he said at a rally in Ohio.
To which Feinstein responded:
“(1/2) The FBI told me 5 years ago it had
concerns that China was seeking to recruit
an administrative member of my Calif staff
(despite no access to sensitive
information). I took those concerns
seriously, learned the facts and made sure
the employee left my office immediately,”
she wrote.
“(2/2) Compare that to your actions:
attacking the FBI and refusing the advice of
your national security team. SAD! I
appreciated then and now the diligent work
of our law enforcement and intelligence
agencies and acted in the best interests of
the country. Give it a try!”
 In fact, let’s recall that Comey also did not notify
Congress’ “Gang of Eight” — the group of House and
Senate leaders combined with the chair and co-chair of
both intelligence committees —

when his FBI launched its

counterintelligence probe, despite the fact
that it was customary to do so
and despite the fact that it involved a
presidential campaign.

When he was asked why he didn’t brief the Gang of Eight

in a timely manner by Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., during
Comey’s congressional testimony in March 2017, he
replied,

“I think our decision was it was a matter

of such sensitivity that we wouldn’t
include it in the quarterly briefings.”

Of course, POTUS Trump has every reason to be upset

with the former FBI leadership, doesn’t he? After all, they

 Infowars App Surges Past CNN After
Orwellian Deplatforming
By Cassandra Fairbanks
August 6, 2018, 11:33 Pm

The InfoWars official app surged in

popularity Monday evening, and
surpassed CNN, following the Orwellian
deplatforming of the outlet by multiple
tech giants.

The app was already beating the New York Times, ABC,
BBC, WSJ, NPR, CNBC, CBS, USA Today, Reuters,
Bloomberg, MSNBC, Huffington Post, and the Washington
Post before they bounded ahead of CNN on Tuesday
evening.

It is now currently ranked number four in the top free news

apps — just behind Twitter, News Break, and Reddit.

505
 As the mainstream media feels their waning influence with
the general public, they orchestrated an coordinated effort
to have the outlet removed from social media platforms.
Sadly, it was successful and four major tech companies
caved to the pressure within 12 hours of each other.

So far, Facebook, Apple, YouTube,

Pinterest, and Spotify caved to the
leftist media mob demanding
censorship of InfoWars.

 Don Lemon Attacks Trump
Supporters Who ‘Steal’, ‘Cheat’,
‘Lie To Their Mother’
By Nicholas Fondacaro
August 7, 2018 12:24 AM EDT

“That was then, this is now. We're up

against tribalism. We're up against
people who will lie, steal, and cheat, lie
to their mother, lie to themselves about
what's right of this country, about truth
and facts,” he spat.

His vitriol grew more potent as he lambasted Trump

supporters for getting in bed with a racist all for lower
taxes:

If they will ignore any misgiving, any terrible misdeed,

During the handoff between CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time
and CNN Tonight on Monday, Don Lemon unleashed his
fury as he chastised President Trump and his supporters as
“people who will lie, steal, and cheat, lie to their
mother.” The tirade came after the President questioned
his intelligence on Friday, liberal journalists called
Trump racist because of it, and fellow CNN host Chris
Cuomo egged him on.
any awful saying they will just ignore it for their own
political purpose. They will ignore the bigotry and the
pettiness and the childishness about what Donald Trump
said about me and LeBron James and others just because
they want to gain some sort of political clout or they want
a few more dollars in tax money. At what cost?

After letting Lemon slam President Trump as

“the real dummy” between him and

LeBron James, Cuomo boosted his guest’s
ego as he prepared to read him something.
“Now you often on your show point out
material misstatements and lies by the
President and his administration and he
hates it. So I prepared something for
you tonight,” Cuomo gushed.
Unironically, Lemon knocked the President by saying
The quote was from Vice President Mike Pence’s “Moral
Case for Removing the President,” which he wrote in the
“if you can't say anything good don't say
‘90s about Bill Clinton.
anything at all.”

“For the nation to move on, the
President must move out,” Cuomo read.
“Now he is apparently immune to
hypocrisy. But what does that tell you
about what you're up against?”
The bitter Lemon obliged and proceeded to tear into the
President and his supporters collectively.
Too bad he didn’t take his own advice. Talk about
hypocrisy.
Speaking of being unable to say anything nice about
someone; at the top of his show following the handoff,
Lemon attacked a Media Research Center study that
found 90 percent of broadcast network evening coverage
of the President was negative.

507
 “It always gets me when people say,
‘There's 90 percent. This study shows
that 90 percent of the reports about this
president are negative,’” he opined in a
mocking voice. “But they don't talk about
the things that come out of his mouth
and the policies he proposes. And what
he does and says to people.”
Lemon emphatically argued that reporting negatively was
really the only way the media could cover the President.
“How are we as media to report
positively on something that’s
negative,” he shouted. “If that is indeed
true, then you need to counterbalance
that and weight it against what comes
out of this President's mouth and what
he's doing.”
Clearly, Lemon didn’t do his homework or else he would
know exactly how we conduct our studies.
As MRC Research Director Rich Noyes explained in the
study, “our analysis of ‘spin’ tracks only explicitly positive
and negative statements from reporters and non-partisan
sources; it excludes neutral statements as well as
statements from partisans such as Trump praising himself
or Democrats criticizing him.” It’s the evaluative
statements from what’s supposed to be a neutral press
that’s counted.
“When this President — when this man
was on the campaign trail, we tried with
every bone in our being to be objective
and report on him in a fair equitable
manner. And then when he became
President of the United States, the same
thing,” he huffed to Cuomo. Of course, as
the MRC reported during the election,
that’s not true. This is CNN.

CNN's Cuomo Prime Time / CNN Tonight
August 6, 2018
9:55 p.m. Eastern
CHRIS CUOMO: Don Lemon is going to join me right now. As
you know, CNN Tonight follows Cuomo Prime Time. And as you
all know, Don and I are friends. But objectively, D. Lemon you
have a following and you have fans for a reason. And it ain't
because they think you’re dumb. And you showed just how subtle
and deft your intelligence is this weekend. Now, here's what the
President tweeted. “Lebron James was just interview by the
dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made LeBron look
smart, which isn't easy to do. I like Mike.” He’s talking about
Michael Jordan. This was Don’s clever response the next
508
morning “Who’s the real Dummy? A man who puts kids in
classrooms or one who puts kid cages? #BeBest.” Of course,
refers to First Lady's campaign for better character. What was
the point you want people to take from this?
DON LEMON: Who's the real dummy? I want people to take the
truth from this.
(…)
CUOMO: Now you often on your show point out material
misstatements and lies by the President and his administration
and he hates it. So I prepared something for you tonight.
LEMON: Okay.
CUOMO: Listen to what was written about the president lying and
the damage. And I'll tell you who wrote it afterwards.
“If you and I fall into bad moral habits we can harm our families,
our employers and our friends. The president of the United
States can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we
ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on
the chief executive that we place on our next door neighbor is
ludicrous and dangerous.” And then he went on for this, “For
those around the president our leaders must either act to restore
the luster and dignity of the institution of the presidency or we
can be certain that this is only the beginning of an even more
difficult time for our land. For the nation to move on, the
President must out.”
You know who said that?
LEMON: Who?
CUOMO: Vice President Mike Pence wrote it in the '90s about
Bill Clinton. Now he is apparently immune to hypocrisy. But what
does that tell you about what you're up against?
LEMON: That was then, this is now. We're up against tribalism.
We're up against people who will lie, steal, and cheat, lie to their
mother, lie to themselves about what's right of this country, about
truth and facts. If they will ignore any misgiving, any terrible
misdeed, any awful saying they will just ignore it for their own
political purpose. They will ignore the bigotry and the pettiness
and the childishness about what Donald Trump said about me
and LeBron James and others just because they want to gain
some sort of political clout or they want a few more dollars in tax
money. At what cost?
(…)
10:00:55 p.m. Eastern
LEMON: Listen, you know, Chris, we don’t take this lightly. When
this president—When this man was on the campaign trail, we
tried with every bone in our being to be objective and report on
him in a fair equitable manner. And then when he became
President of the United States, the same thing.
It always gets me when people say, “There's 90 percent. This
study shows that 90 percent of the reports about this president
are negative.” But they don't talk about the things that come out
of his mouth and the policies he proposes. And what he does and
says to people.
How are we as media to report positively on something that’s
negative?! The President called countries s-hole counties. “Oh
.
509
well, that's great.” We don't do that. You don’t call counties s-hole
counties. You don't do things like that. You don't talk about
people in the way this president does at least if you're a president
of the United States you’re not supposed to. So that whole thing
about the media is biased and that 90 percent of what we report
about Donald Trump is negative; if that is indeed true, then you
need to counterbalance that and weight it against what comes
out of this President's mouth and what he's doing.

“And I think the reason he’s not so

panicked about Russia, is because he
knows they are going to try again to do
exactly what they did in 2016,” she added.
“Although the mainstream media won’t say
it yet, they actually gave him the election.”

Rosie O’Donnell said that she doesn’t

believe that Donald “Trump’s a legitimate
president” and called for him to “be
impeached.”

“He [Trump] should not be president. I don’t

would have won,” the 56-year-old
comedian claimed during her appearance
Monday night on “TheBeat w/Ari Melber”

than he did right there, swore his allegiance
to Russia. Not to his own country.”

“And I believe he should be impeached,”

she added. “I’m sickened by Congress that
doesn’t call for articles of impeachment
when we have so much evidence of his
horrible high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Last month, President Trump meet with Russian president

Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland. During the summit,
Trump said at a joint press conference with Putin that he
didn’t “see any reason why it would be” Russia behind the
meddling in the 2016 election. He has since walked back
the comments saying that he had no reason to believe “it
wouldn’t be Russia.”

 Trump’s Plan To Change The World
Garth Kant | Contributor
2:26 AM 08/07/2018
President Donald Trump has a plan to defeat radical
Islamic terrorism off the battlefield, judging from the
publicly available evidence.
The plan is simple, if extraordinarily ambitious: reform
Islam.
More specifically, the aim is to induce Muslim leaders to
reject jihad and terrorism, and to embrace and promote a
moderate practice of Islam.
Trump’s public calls for an end to Islamic terrorism made
headlines, but largely unnoticed has been a larger and
concerted plan to reform Islam by eliminating the root
cause of such violence:
The extremist ideology that fuels jihad.
The president appears to be coordinating an effort to that
end with a new kind of Arab leader, Saudi Crown Prince
Mohammad bin Salman, who is said to admire Margaret
Thatcher.
Just one month before Salman assumed power by
becoming the heir to the Saudi throne, Trump called upon
Muslim leaders to fundamentally reform Islam by rejecting
terrorism and global jihad during his landmark speech in
the Saudi capital of Riyadh on May 21, 2017.
“There can be no coexistence with this
violence. There can be no tolerating it, no
accepting it, no excusing it, and no ignoring
it,” the president insisted.
“When we look a back at President
Trump’s legacy 10 to 20 years from now,
there’s going to be two events that have
historic significance above all else,” former
deputy assistant to the president,
Sebastian Gorka, told The Daily Caller.
511
“One is the speech he gave in Poland at
site of the Warsaw Uprising, which was a
reaffirmation of American leadership and
the Judeo-Christian values of our
civilization. The second will be the
monumentally important speech he gave in
Riyadh in front of the assembled leaders of
the Arab and Muslim world.”
“With regard to the latter,” Gorka added, “it
really needs to be understood as a catalytic
moment in history. As one Arab woman
told me just a few days after he gave the
speech, ‘This is what we’ve been waiting
for, for 17 years,'” apparently referring to
the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Salman became crown prince on June 21, 2017, exactly
one month after Trump’s speech, and since then appears to
have become a key partner with the White House.
According to the New York Times, “it is widely believed”
that Salman is coordinating details of the administration’s
Middle East Peace plan with Jared Kushner, senior adviser
to the president and Trump’s point man on the project.
Salman might seem an unlikely reformer because members
of the Saudi royal family have long been suspected of
supporting and financing Islamic terrorism. Saudi Arabia
is also the source of Wahhabism, an austere and repressive
form of Islam thought to inspire a jihadist movement in the
1990s led by Osama bin Laden.
But, this prince is a different breed of Saudi leader. Salman
hasn’t just pledged to rid the world of Islamist terrorism.
He has also called for wide-ranging reforms to moderate
the practice of Islam in his country and around the world.
And he has begun instituting those reforms in Saudi
Arabia.

New York City, March 27, 2018. REUTERS/Amir Levy
Salman reportedly shocked a group of American Jewish
leaders in March by saying that it was time for the
Palestinians to negotiate peace with Israel “or shut up and
stop complaining.” He then shocked the Arab world in
April by stating that Israelis “have the right to have their
own land.” That statement is believed to be the first time a
Muslim leader has ever publicly affirmed Israeli’s right to
exist.
Salman may have the confidence to be so bold because,
according to the New York Times,
“Never before in Saudi history has so much
power been wielded by the deputy crown
prince.”
He is also first deputy prime minister, president of the
council for economic and development affairs and minister
of defense.
Shortly after becoming crown prince, Salman gave an eye-
opening speech on October 25, 2017, promising to destroy
“extremist ideologies” and pursue “a more moderate
Islam.”
“We want to lead normal lives, lives where
our religion and our traditions translate into
tolerance, so that we coexist with the world
and become part of the development of the
world,” he announced.
“All we’re doing,” the prince maintained, “is
going back to what we were: a moderate
Islam that is open to all religions and to the
world and to all traditions and people.”
“I believe we will obliterate the remnants of
extremism very soon,” Salman concluded.

Even before he was made crown prince, Salman and his
father, King Salman, began making significant reforms to
modernize their country. In 2015, they took away the
power of the religious police to arrest citizens, gave
women the right to drive and increased their participation
in the workforce, and allowed concerts for the first time in
decades. The prince even established an Entertainment
Authority that brought to the kingdom such Western
attractions as comedy shows, pro wrestling and monster
truck rallies.
The prince announced the creation of Saudi Vision 2030
on April, 25, 2016, a blueprint to diversify the nation’s
economy and reduce its dependence on oil revenue. The
plan includes cultural reform, as the prince wrote: “Our
Vision is a tolerant country with Islam as its constitution
and moderation as its method. We will welcome qualified
individuals from all over the world and will respect those
who have come to join our journey and our success.”
To accomplish all this, Salman has had to battle against his
own deep state, powerful factions in the royal family and
the Saudi government under the influence of Wahhabi
clerics who want to see a repressive and bloody sharia
remain the supreme law of their land.
The prince may be winning that battle, as the Washington
Post ran a story in June headlined,
“Saudi Arabia’s once-powerful
conservatives silenced by reforms and
repression.” The paper reported that the
country’s “most conservative Islamists are
reeling from a loss of influence,” and that
fundamentalist clerics have been jailed.
However, Salman has also raised concerns by jailing
human rights activists, including prominent women’s
rights advocates. The Canadian government called for their
release on Friday. Saudi Arabia retaliated on Monday by
freezing new trade and investment with Canada and
expelling its ambassador. The arrests of rights activists
may be part of what Washington Post Middle East Kareem
Fahim recently called a “balancing act,” in a bid by the
prince to install social changes while not triggering a
backlash by religious hardliners, who are still a powerful
political force in the kingdom.
Prince Salman did not have a real ally in the White House
until the election of Trump.
“In late 2015, Prince Mohammad (Salman)
attended a meeting between King Salman
and U.S. President Barack Obama, where
the prince broke protocol to deliver a
monologue criticizing U.S. foreign policy,”
reported the New York Times.
The paper said the prince would routinely lecture senior
American officials, including the president. Salman was
reportedly angered by what he saw as the failure of
Obama’s policy in Syria and his warming of relations with
Iran. The prince was particularly incensed over Obama’s
comment that Saudi Arabia must “share the neighborhood”
with Iran, the world’s biggest sponsor of state terrorism
and the kingdom’s mortal foe.
In sharp contrast, Salman and Trump were all smiles when
they met at the White House in March.

sales as he welcomes Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, March

Trump remarked,
“We’ve become very good friends over a
fairly short period of time.” He added, “I
would really have to say the relationship
was, to put it mildly, very, very strained
during the Obama administration. And the
relationship, now, is probably as good as
it’s really ever been, and I think will
probably only get better.”
Gorka observed,
“Irrespective of what the Koran may say
about the infidel … the leaders of these
nations wish to be our friends and our
partners, and wish to eradicate the jihadists
from among their midsts.”
The former deputy assistant to the president believes
Trump’s speech in Riyadh that will prove to be a historic
catalyst for change, remarking,
“For 16 years under Presidents Bush and
Obama we couldn’t talk honestly about
these issues. Now, under President Trump,
we can.”
513
“The president pulled no punches,” Gorka
told TheDC. “It wasn’t a protocol speech, it
was very much tough love. In no uncertain
terms, President Trump demanded that the
Arab-Muslim world rid their mosques of
extremists and rid their societies of
terrorists.”
Trump began by stressing he would avoid the
interventionist mistakes of his predecessors, saying that
America would not seek to impose our way of life on
others.
“We are not here to lecture,” he said. “We are not here to
tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how
to worship. Instead, we are here to offer partnership —
based on shared interests and values — to pursue a better
future for us all.”
Trump articulated a lofty goal of “peace, security, and
prosperity — in this region, and in the world.”
And, speaking to the leaders of more than 50 Muslim
countries in attendance, the president said he planned to do
it with “a coalition of nations who share the aim of
stamping out extremism.” Trump insisted that “Muslim-
majority countries must take the lead in combating
radicalization.”
Trump particularly emphasized that only by defeating the
ideology that “drives” terrorism could the Mideast achieve
peace.

Harbor, Maryland, February 24, 2018. REUTERS/Joshua Roberts
The president called it
“history’s great test — to conquer
extremism and vanquish the forces of
terrorism.”
Trump’s bottom line:
 “This is a battle between Good and Evil.”
And he bluntly stated that evil was in their
very mosques: “A better future is only
possible if your nations drive out the
terrorists and extremists. Drive. Them. Out.
Drive them out of your places of worship.”
That would be a historic achievement. Many scholars,
analysts and politicians have argued that radical Islam can
never be defeated military, primarily because its appeal is
too widespread and too deeply ingrained among millions
of Muslims. Many have long believed Islam will have to
change itself to bring an end to global jihad.
James Q. Wilson, who taught government at Harvard for a
quarter century and was a longtime adviser to presidents
from both parties, wrote an influential article in 2002
titled, “The Reform Islam Needs,” and subtitled,
“Religious Toleration Undergirds Western Freedom.
Islam Is Centuries Behind In Developing It.” He argued
that Islam will not purge itself of radical fundamentalism
until the religion is reformed, as were Christianity and
Judaism, to become tolerant enough to coexist peacefully
with other faiths.
.
514
But the reform of Islam has seemed unlikely because few
Muslim leaders have been brave enough to publicly
challenge the jihadists’ medieval morality. Now, Salman is
doing just that. And his call to end Islamic terrorism is
backed by Trump.
If their efforts succeed, it could result in a epic sea change
in global politics.
Gorka put into perspective just why the president’s Riyadh
speech to the Arab word was such a watershed moment
and why his growing partnership with a new generation of
moderate Arab leaders is such a historic opportunity.
“The argument here is very simple one:
reformist Arab and Muslim leaders,
whether Saudi Arabia’s Mohammad bin
Salman or Egypt’s Abdel Fattah al-Sisi,
have been empowered thanks to the
catalytic effect of President Trump sending
a very simple message to their citizens.
Trump gave these leaders permission to
say such things in public.”
