Hillary : First the Deep State FBI / DOJ, Then Russia, and Now China -- Where is the US Justice System?

CNN IS THE TIP OF THE MELTING PROGDEM ICEBERG. For those of us who lived through the birth of CNN and Ted Turner's dream of a 24-hour cable news network, Turner's dream has long since become a nightmare, and the death of CNN is sad, but richly deserved. • • • CNN WILL NOT RETRACT A LIE. Breitbart and almost every other news outlet has hit CNN for refusing to retract a story about President Trump knowing in advance about the Trump Tower meeting. CNN's story imploded on the already-embattled network and is taking one of CNN’s biggest names, Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein, down with it. The Trump Tower story by CNN, it turns out, is not only Fake news, but Bernstein and his co-authors (including CNN anchor and former Obama official Jim Sciutto) have been caught lying about who their source was. The CNN story says that Lanny Davis refused to comment on the story, but Davis was a source for the story, a source who is now publicly recanting everything. Nevertheless, refusing to apologize for its disgraceful reporting, CNN is standing by its Fake news garbage heap, refusing to retract or even comment. • And, as Breitbart reports, the far-left CNN took a double-digit ratings dive in August, while Fox News and MSNBC grew parts of their respective audiences. Nielsen Media Research reports that perennial ratings loser CNN had a terrible August despite a banner news month in which Fox News notched its 200th consecutive month at number one in cable news and gained 4% in primetime viewers, compared to this same month last year. CNN lost 12% of its primetime viewers and a whopping 15% of total day viewers. Breitbart says : "After this latest fake news fiasco, the biggest of the year so far in all of the media, CNN’s problems are only going to get worse. No one has deceived the public more during the Trump era than CNN, which is saying a lot, and the last-place network continues to publish and broadcast deceptions in ways both small and consequential. There is just no question CNN made a play for MSNBC’s Trump-hating audience, but even Trump-haters resent being lied to." • • • SOROS BUYING FACEBOOK AND TWITTER STOCK. The Federalist Papers reported on Tuesday that : "After bashing tech companies as “menaces” left wing billionaire George Soros quietly but dramatically increases his shares in those same companies, especially Facebook and Twitter. Soros drastically increased his shares in a handful of tech companies while a coalition of Progressive groups he financially backs pushes a campaign that includes a goal of breaking up Facebook....Soros made the large stock purchases during the second quarter through Soros Fund Management, the financier’s New York City-based investment firm. The purchases include 159,200 shares in Facebook (valued at $31 million), 250,000 shares in Twitter (valued at $11 million), and 54,500 shares in Apple (valued at $10 million), Security and Exchange Commission filings show. Soros did not have holdings in any of those companies during the first quarter, according to the fund’s previous filings. Soros additionally reported 12,400 shares in Alphabet, Google’s parent company, valued at $14 million. However, the shares in Alphabet decreased by $12 million from the previous quarter." The Federalist Papers says Soros made the big bets on tech after lambasting such companies as being a “menace” and “monopolistic” earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, saying : “[A]s Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. They claim they are merely distributing information. But the fact that they are near-monopoly distributors makes them public utilities and should subject them to more stringent regulations, aimed at preserving competition, innovation, and fair and open universal access.” • It is characteristic of Soros to fund left wing groups calling to break up Facebook, while on the other betting that Facebook will be even more successful in the future. Breitbart warns : "...he’s up to something and this bears watching as things unfold." • A graphic in the Breitbart article shows Soros interests in New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CNN, ACLU, Democratic Party, Media Fund, Huffington Post, AOL, Black Lives Matter, Planned Parenthood,America Votes, Media Matters for America, All of Us or None, National Immigration Forum, his flagship moveon.org, and many more.

The Federalist Papers also reported on Tuesday, as did many online outlets but almost none of the mainstream media, that : "Things are unraveling fast for the FBI and the bogus Trump / Russia investigation. First a Pentagon whistleblower comes forward to show that the investigation was a setup from the beginning." • James Woods called out the witch hunt earlier when he tweeted : "This question is so obvious. It's almost never posed nor certainly ever answered in any sober fashion : Why is Special Counsel Robert #Mueller not investigating any #Democrat malfeasance during the run up to the 2016 presidential election? 7:14 August 24, 2018." • Now we learn that the FBI leaked stories to the media, then used those same stories to justify FISA warrants, says the Federalist Papers : "A Republican congressman touched off a firestorm Tuesday after claiming on Twitter that his office had information suggesting the FBI leaked information to the press and used the resulting articles to help obtain surveillance warrants. 'We’ve learned NEW information suggesting our suspicions are true: FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press, and then used those same press stories as a separate source to justify FISA’s,' House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., tweeted overnight @RepMarkMeadows : " We've learned NEW information suggesting our suspicions are true: FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press, and then used those same press stories as a separate source to justify FISA's Unreal. Tomorrow's Bruce Ohr interview is even more critical. Did he ever do this? 4:20 AM - Aug 28, 2018." • The claim, according to the Federalist Papers : "stemmed in part from FBI intelligence analyst Jonathan Moffa’s Friday testimony behind closed doors before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees. A source with knowledge of the testimony backed up Meadows, telling Fox News that Moffa said FBI personnel would use media reports based on information they leaked to justify applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants. The source told Fox News that Moffa, who worked with controversial former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, acknowledged this 'had been a practice in the past.' " • Republicans have long questioned to what extent leaked information related to the unverified anti-Trump Dossier was used by the Comey-led FBI as a basis for surveillance warrants against former Trump advisor Carter Page in 2016. The source told Fox News that Moffa did not specifically confirm whether leaking was employed with regard to the Dossier, but said the FBI had done this in other cases. • The Federalist Papers says : "But it gets even worse : Meadows, though, largely stood by his claims -- but offered a clarification in a Tuesday afternoon statement to Fox News, drawing a distinction between what Moffa testified and what his office has learned from other materials. 'Jonathan Moffa made it clear to the committee the FBI routinely uses media reports to corroborate analytic work product. We have emails and texts plainly showing the FBI leaks to the media, raising major red flags. If FBI executives want the American people to believe they haven’t used leaks to their advantage, they are not being honest,' Meadows said in the statement, while saying this includes FISA materials. Meadows also told Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” earlier Tuesday that the committee had evidence of the FBI’s practice that would be 'hard to refute.We know that some people at the Department of Justice and the FBI actually gave information to the media, then the stories were reported. Then they used those reports to justify further investigations,' Meadows said. 'You know, that’s like saying, we’re going to incriminate on one hand, and be the jury on the other. It just doesn’t work that way.' ” • • • PENTAGON WHISTLEBLOWER CALLS FBI RUSSIA PROBE A "SET-UP." Why have we not heard about this on mainstream media??? Because it deals in Fake news only. The real story was written by highly repsected investigative reporter Sara Carter of circa.com. Carter wroet on Tuesday : "Adam Lovinger, a former Defense Department analyst, never expected that what he stumbled on during his final months at the Pentagon would expose an integral player in the FBI’s handling of President....In the fall of 2016, Adam Lovinger, a former senior official of the Defense Department’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA), stumbled upon evidence that the Deep State wanted buried -- documents exposing Halper’s role in the frame-up job. He voiced his concerns about what he had found and paid dearly for it. Lovinger, a DoD analyst turned whistleblower, had his security clearance suspended on May 1, 2017, after he raised concerns about the roughly $1 million in tax-payer funded money Halper had received to write Defense Department foreign policy reports." • 'It was a topic of conversation within the office,' Lovinger’s attorney, Sean M. Bigley, told the Washington Times earlier this month. 'What is Halper doing, and why is he being paid astronomically more than others similarly situated?' According to Bigley, Lovinger was suspended shortly after he began asking questions about the suspicious DoD contracts with Halper, as well as a contract with a close friend of Chelsea Clinton and others. He was then relegated to a make-work desk job until April 3, 2018, when he was indefinitely suspended from duty and pay." Lovinger, a husband and father of three, was the primary breadwinner of his family, according to Carter." Bigley told Carter : "“When Mr. Lovinger raised concerns about DoD’s misuse of Stefan Halper in 2016, he did so without any political designs or knowledge of Mr. Halper’s spying activities,” Bigley told SaraACarter.com. “Instead, Mr. Lovinger simply did what all Americans should expect of our civil servants : he reported violations of law and a gross waste of public funds to his superiors.” • The Federalist Papers says : "Bigley told Carter that they had expected some degree of retaliation for the whistleblowing, but were taken aback by the 'ferocity' of it. 'We weren’t surprised when DoD bureaucrats moved shortly thereafter to strip Mr. Lovinger of both his security clearance and his detail to the National Security Council, where he had been senior director for strategy as a by-name request of the incoming Trump Administration,' said the attorney. 'Yet, we were puzzled by the unprecedented ferocity of efforts to discredit Mr. Lovinger, including leaks from DoD of false and defamatory information to the press,' he said. Bigley explained that at the time they assumed that the reason for the intense blowback was because Lovinger had raised concerns about a contract that went to a firm headed by Jacqueline Newmyer Deal, who is reportedly a close confidante of Chelsea Clinton. While they remain convinced that that connection “certainly may have played a role,” Bigley now suspects that it was his focus on Halper that made the Deep State panic because it was in the process of trying to frame Trump." • The idea that the Trump-Russia probe was a setup from the beginning doesn't us, but Sara Carter's report of these new documents goes a long way to spelling out the facts behind our suspicions. • • • HILLARY POLLSTER SAYS SHE BROKE THE LAW. Lifezette's report on August 22 stated that Mark Penn, a former Clinton pollster, told it that President Trump didn’t break any campaign finance laws if he directed former personal lawyer Michael Cohen to pay off two women alleging affairs with him -- but 2016 Democratic president nominee Hillary Clinton did break campaign finance laws. Penn argued : "Contrast what is going on here with the treatment of the millions of dollars paid to a Democratic law firm which, in turn, paid out money to political research firm Fusion GPS and British ex-spy Christopher Steele without listing them on any campaign expenditure form -- despite crystal-clear laws and regulations that the ultimate beneficiaries of the funds must be listed,” Penn, who worked for both Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, wrote in an Op-ed in The Hill. "There is no question that hiring spies to do opposition research in Russia is a campaign expenditure, and yet, no prosecutorial raids have been sprung on the law firm, Fusion GPS or Steele. Reason: It does not ‘get’ Trump,” Penn argued in his piece. The FBI used the anti-Trump Dossier alleging Russian collusion, which Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) funded, to renew surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page." Penn argued that Trump did not violate any federal election laws for reportedly reimbursing Cohen : “Donald Trump should do a better job of picking aides who pay their taxes -- but he’s not responsible for their financial problems and crimes,” Penn wrote. “Paying for nondisclosure agreements for perfectly legal activities is not a crime, not a campaign contribution as commonly understood or ruled upon by the FEC [Federal Election Commission] -- and squeezing guilty pleas out of vulnerable witnesses does not change those facts,” Penn added. • This is just another pro-Trump story being supressed by the aminstream media. Credit goes to TheHill for publishing it. • • • HILLARY WAS HACKED -- BY CHINA. WHO ELSE?? The Daily Caller reported on Monday that : "A Chinese-owned company penetrated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private server, according to sources briefed on the matter. The company inserted code that forwarded copies of Clinton’s emails to the Chinese company in real time. The Intelligence Community Inspector General warned of the problem, but the FBI subsequently failed to act, Texas Republican Representative Louie Gohmert said during a July hearing. A Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington, DC, area hacked Hillary Clinton’s private server throughout her term as Secretary of State and obtained nearly all her emails, two sources briefed on the matter told The Daily Caller. The Chinese firm obtained Clinton’s emails in real time as she sent and received communications and documents through her personal server, according to the sources, who said the hacking was conducted as part of an intelligence operation. The Chinese wrote code that was embedded in the server, which was kept in Clinton’s residence in upstate New York. The code generated an instant 'courtesy copy' for nearly all of her emails and forwarded them to the Chinese company, according to the sources." • The Daily Caller states that the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) found that virtually all of Clinton’s emails were sent to a “foreign entity,” Gohmert, a Texas Republican, said at a July 12 House Committee on the Judiciary hearing. He did not reveal the entity’s identity, but said it was unrelated to Russia. Two officials with the ICIG, investigator Frank Rucker and attorney Janette McMillan, met repeatedly with FBI officials to warn them of the Chinese intrusion, according to a former intelligence officer with expertise in cybersecurity issues, who was briefed on the matter; told the Daily Caller. He spoke anonymously, as he was not authorized to publicly address the Chinese’s role with Clinton’s server. Among the FBI officials ICIG officials met with and warned was Peter Strzok, who was then the bureau’s top counterintelligence official. Gohmert mentioned in the Judiciary Committee hearing that ICIG officials told Strzok and three other top FBI officials that they found an “anomaly” on Clinton’s server. The former intelligence officer whom the Daily Caller spoke with said the ICIG “discovered the anomaly pretty early in 2015. When [the ICIG] did a very deep dive, they found in the actual metadata -- the data which is at the header and footer of all the emails -- that a copy, a ‘courtesy copy,’ was being sent to a third party and that third party was a known Chinese public company that was involved in collecting intelligence for China. The [ICIG] believe that there was some level of phishing. But once they got into the server something was embedded. The Chinese are notorious for embedding little surprises like this.” The intelligence officer has declined to name of the Chinese company, but he says : “We do know the name of the company. There are indications there are other ‘cutouts’ that were involved. I would be in a lot of trouble if I gave you the name,” he told the Daily Caller. • The Daily Caller says a government staff official who’s been briefed on the ICIG’s findings told it that the Chinese state-owned firm linked to the hacking operates in Washington’s northern Virginia suburbs. The source was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter. The company that penetrated Clinton’s server was not a technology firm and it served as a “front group” for the Chinese government, the source told the Daily Caller. The Fairfax and Loudoun county governments told the Daily Caller that 13 state-owned Chinese companies operate in the area. Of those, three were not technologically oriented. Fairfax County Economic Development Authority communications manager Seth Livingston told the Daily Caller that all the nine firms operating in his county were there in 2009 when Clinton began as Secretary of State : “Our Asian folks believe that all of the companies have been around and known to us since that time period,” he said in an email. • Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill told the Daily Caller : “This is the most combed over subject in modern American political history. The FBI spent thousands of hours investigating, and found no evidence of intrusion. That’s a fact. But in an age where facts are alternative and truth isn’t truth, it’s no surprise that an outlet like the Daily Caller would try to distract us from very real and very immediate threats to our democracy brought by the man occupying the White House.” • How true that self-serving statement is -- the Deep State FBI was in the business of covering up for Hillary, no matter what she did. And Hilalry's own State Department Inspector General Steven A. Linick and then-ICIG Charles McCullough III scrutinized Clinton’s server in 2015, before McCullough told Congress in July, 2015, that her emails contained classified material. The two IGs asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether the classified information was compromised, according to a July 23, 2015, New York Times report based on unnamed senior government officials. The FBI issued a referral to the Justice Department in July 2015. The bureau warned that classified information may have been disclosed to a foreign power or to one of its agents. A July 10, 2015, FBI memo is quoted by the Daily Caller : “FBIHQ, Counterespionage Section, is opening a full investigation based on specific articulated facts provided by an 811 referral from the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, dated July 6, 2015 regarding the potential compromise of classified information.” An 811 referral informs the FBI of classified information that was potentially released to a foreign power or agent of a foreign power. The FBI memo stated : “This investigation is also designated a Sensitive Investigative Matter (SIM) due to a connection to a current public official, political appointee or candidate." • The Daily Caller reports that : "Then-FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano sent a follow-up memo on July 21, 2015, to President Barack Obama’s deputy attorney general, Sally Yates, about two conversations he had with her about the criminal referral. 'On 13 July 2015 and 20 July 2015, I verbally advised you of a Section 811(c) referral from the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community received by the FBI on 06 July 2015. The referral addressed the mishandling of classified information on the personal e-mail account and electronic media of a former high-level us Government official,' according to the FBI memo, which was hand delivered to Yates." The Daily Caller says that Justice Department spokesman Devin M. O’Malley declined to comment on this story. • In his recent book, former FBI Director James Comey acknowledged that the FBI was conducting a criminal investigation into Clinton’s conduct. • London Center for Policy Research’s vice president of operations, retired Colonel Anthony Shaffer, told the Daily Caller that Clinton’s server was vulnerable to hacking : “Look, there’s evidence based on the complete lack of security hygiene on the server. Fourteen-year-old hackers from Canada could have probably hacked into her server and left very little trace. Any sophisticated organization is going to be able to essentially get in and then clean up their presence.” • And a former consultant to the US trade representative, Claude Barfield, told the Daily Caller : “The Chinese were in the process of really gaining technological competence in 2009 to 2010. This begins to really take off in the early years of the Obama administration. The Obama administration was kind of late and there was this slow reaction about how sophisticated the Chinese were.” • Romanian hacker “Guccifer” told FOX News reporter Catherine Herridge, in an exclusive interview in 2016, that he hacked Hillary Clinton’s server and that it was easy. Guccifer told Herridge that at least 10 other groups or individuals also breached Hillary’s private server. Guccifer also said “it was easy.” • Fox News' Laura Ingraham interviewed Peter Schweizer, who told her that Hillary Clinton’s emails, including “many” that were classified, were hacked by China. • President Trump tweeted early Wednesday, calling on the FBI and Department of Justice to make the “next move.” Trump did not go into specific details about the apparent hacking, but the tweet came on the heels of the Daily Caller report. The President tweeted : "Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China. Next move better be by the FBI & DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone!" • • • HILLARY -- FIRST THE FBI / DOJ, THEN RUSSIA, NOW CHINA. The Washington Examiner reported in mid-August that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes declared on Fox News that Hillary Clinton's campaign "colluded" with nearly every top official in the Justice Department and FBI. Nunes blamed the media for largely ignoring the revelations surrounding the origins of the federal investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and stressing that the American people "need to know it" called for the declassification of "an unprecedented amount of information." Trump has also warned that he "may have to get involved" if the FBI doesn't provide conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch and others with text messages of former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, whom he has accused of harboring a bias against him. McCabe’s wife, Jill, reportedly accepted approximately $700,000 in donations for a Virginia state Senate election in 2015 from a political action committee headed by former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is close to the Clinton family and chaired Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential run. McCabe assisted overseeing the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails after Jill McCabe’s bid for the state Senate ended in failure. The FBI, led by then- Director James Comey, did not recommend that Clinton face criminal charges for how she managed classified information. Nunes and fellow GOP chairmen Trey Gowdy and Bob Goodlatte have pressed the DOJ for months for documents related to the Russia and Hillary Clinton emails investigations, with some success. However, Nunes complained that the DOJ has been slow to comply. He also said there needs to be "an investigation into these top-level people as to how somebody concocted the idea that it's okay to take information from one political campaign and use it to open up an investigation on the other political -- on somebody else's opposing political party." Nunes, who heads Congress' investigation into the matter, said it was likely that information "was handed directly from Russian propaganda arms to the Clinton campaign, fed into the top levels of the FBI and Department of Justice to open up a counterintelligence investigation into a political campaign that has now colluded (with) nearly every top official at the DOJ and FBI over the course of the last couple years. Absolutely amazing." • Investor's Business Daily also reported in mid-August that : "It's beginning to look as if claims of monstrous collusion between Russian officials and US political operatives were true. But it wasn't Donald Trump who was guilty of Russian collusion. It was Hillary Clinton and US intelligence officials who worked with Russians and others to entrap Trump." IBD was quoting a RealClear Investigations report by Lee Smith, who looked in-depth at the controversial June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between officials of then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign staff and a Russian lawyer known to have ties with high-level officials in Vladimir Putin's government. The media have spun a tale of Trump selling his soul to the Russians for campaign dirt to use against Hillary, beginning with the now-infamous Trump Tower meeting. But, IBD disagrees, quoting Smith : "A growing body of evidence...indicates that the meeting may have been a setup -- part of a broad effort to tarnish the Trump campaign involving Hillary Clinton operatives employed by Kremlin-linked figures and Department of Justice officials." Smith, says IBD, "painstakingly weaves together the evidence that's already out there but has been largely ignored by the mainstream media, which have become so seized with Trump-hatred that their reporting even on routine matters can no longer be trusted. But he adds in more evidence that the Justice Department only recently handed over to Congress. And It's damning. Memos, emails and texts now in Congress' possession show that the Justice Department and the FBI worked together both before and after the election with Fusion GPS and their main link to the scandal, former British spy and longtime FBI informant Chris Steele. As a former British spook in Moscow, Steele had extensive ties to Russia. That's why he was picked as the primary researcher to compile the 'unverified and salacious' Trump Dossier, as former FBI Director James Comey once described it. Steele's dossier, for which Fusion reportedly received $1 million, was largely based on interviews with Russian officials. And who paid that $1 million? As we and others have reported, it was Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee, then under Hillary's control. The media knew all this, of course, but largely ignored it. The great irony here is that, after more than two years of investigating, the only real evidence of collusion with Russians at all points to Hillary Clinton. It was she who hired Steele to dig up dirt on Trump using Russian sources." But, IBDsays the collusion is much deeper : "Events surrounding that now-famous June 2016 Trump meeting suggest it, too, was a concoction of Hillary Clinton and her Deep-State allies. And that meeting was the basis for much of the later Russian collusion 'investigation,' if it can even be called that. Bruce Ohr, the No. 4-ranking official at the Justice Department, 'coordinated before, during and after the election' with both Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson and with Steele, notes Smith. This shouldn't come as a surprise, given that Ohr's wife Nellie, a sometime employee of the CIA, was also working for Fusion GPS. The FBI fired Steele in October 2016 after it discovered that he leaked information to the press. But that meant nothing. Bruce Ohr merely continued as the conduit from Fusion GPS for information related to Steele's bogus Trump Dossier. The FBI and Justice used information from that 35-page document as the pretense for the FISA wiretap on Trump aide Carter Page. Far from being limited in scope, those wiretaps in essence provided a backdoor key to the entire Trump campaign -- and the basis for the Russian investigation." BUT, the real kicker is reported by IBD : "An earlier investigation by RealClearPolitics showed that as early as March 2016, the FBI, other Western intelligence sources and Clinton campaign operatives contacted the Trump campaign about potentially damaging information about Clinton. They were in effect live-trolling the campaign. This is significant. Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Putin-connected lawyer who contacted the Trump campaign about having dirt on Hillary Clinton, was a client of Fusion GPS when she met with Donald Trump Jr. and others in the Trump campaign. And she was accompanied by a former Soviet military counterintelligence official, now working as a lobbyist, named Rinat Akhmetshin....What's especially curious is that GPS' Glenn Simpson admits he had dinner with Veselnitskaya both the night before and the night after the Trump Tower meeting. Any possibility there was no discussion of the meeting between the two? Seems highly unlikely. Veselnitskaya herself subsequently claimed that the talking points for her meeting with the Trump people were provided to her by Simpson....In short, they were baiting a trap for the Trump campaign to make it appear as if they were colluding with Russian officials." Investor Business Daily concludes : "Congress, using the documents it pried out of the Justice Department after repeated requests, is busy getting at what might turn out to be the scandal of the century. And Congress is now doing the work the Justice Department and FBI won't....As we said, the only real collusion appears to be on the part of the Clinton campaign -- aided by the Obama administration, CIA chief John Brennan and a handful of high-level officials at the Department of Justice and FBI. What's next? It's possible the collusion investigation soon will turn from Trump to Clinton. If so, it could lead to more resignations and possibly jail time for those involved. That includes perhaps even Hillary Clinton, who sits at the political epicenter of all this illegality." • • • DEAR READERS, Fox News Cal Thomas wrote on Tuesday : "The long knives have been drawn by those who want to reverse the results of the 2016 election and put themselves back in power. They will not be sheathed until blood is drawn, preferably the blood of the President, whose personality might not win him any good deportment citations on a grade school report card, but whose policies are making the nation stronger. President Trump needs to refocus and stop attacking his political enemies, and even his friends, and start worrying about his most pressing problem. Neither does it matter that no evidence of Russian 'collusion' by the Trump campaign has yet to be uncovered. That train seems to have long ago left the station, replaced by other strategies to bring down the President, none of which were part of the special counsel’s original mandate. Indeed, on July 13 when Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the indictment of 12 Russians for their alleged roles in hacking computers at the Democratic National Committee and other sites, he said : 'There’s no allegation in this document that any American citizen committed a crime. There’s no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result.' Rosenstein knows the indicted Russians will never be extradited and tried, so it looks to most conservatives like a public relations stunt designed to show that Robert Mueller was pursuing what he had been tasked with discovering. Having failed to achieve that objective, the tentacles of his office have spread out in other directions, now reaching the Trump organization where its CEO has been granted full federal immunity and will likely be required to divulge anything -- perhaps even those long-hidden Trump income tax returns, which Democrats have wanted made public since the 2016 campaign....The President should concern himself with what is being done on other fronts where he can credibly claim success." • HERE is President Trump's success -- NBC did back-to-back Trump approval polls after ‘skeptical’ results, and Chuck Todd was forced to report that, despite what the media throws at President Trump there are two words to describe his base. It is rock solid. After not seeing the results they wanted over at NBC, the network launched a second approval poll for President Trump immediately following the Manafort / Cohen bombshells only to discover the numbers barely moved. “What effect did Michael Cohen’s guilty plea and Paul Manafort’s convictions have on President Trump’s approval rating?” Chuck Todd rhetorically asked before delivering the answer. “The two stories had many asking if this was more than even President Trump supporters could bear,” he said. “And the answer so far seems to be -- no.” Todd said citing a second NBC/Wall St. Journal poll. Todd showed clips of the polls that were taken days apart, during and after the so-called “bombshells” were breaking. After the first poll taken from August 18 to August 22 came back with "record high" approval for Preisdent Trump -- 46% approval vs 51% disapproval -- Todd said they ran a second poll from last Wednesday through Saturday, “because we knew some of you might be skeptical of the results.” After reporting that the numbers hardly moved -- 44% approval vs 52% disapproval -- Todd described what’s glaringly obvious to real Americans with a growing bank account : “For the 2018 Democratic strategy, the Manafort and Cohen’s convictions represent a Fool’s Gold opportunity rather than a Silver Bullet solution,” he said. • These ProgDem media lapdog propagandists never learn, do they?? Neither did Hillary. It is becoming downright embarrassing that we have had no reaction from the US justice system -- at the very least for Hillary's documented misuse of classified materials -- while President Trump is having his entire life torn apart because the Deep State is determined to destroy him.

  2. The US Justice System is dead afraid to make a move on the illegalities that have surfaced, the fake news, the multitudes of emails, the fake Dossiers, etc., etc.

    But in this complicated ‘get Trump’ phenomena lies the soul of one Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, and George Soros.

    Certainly Soros is nothing more than the money man; Obama saw the finalization of his legacy in the election of Hillary Clinton. And the Witch her self-Hillary more than willing to do anything asked to be President – The First Woman President. And when Evil is able to get 3 well financed people whose goal is all based on the overthrow of the United States, the destruction on government by a Constitution, the Rule of Law, we can expect to have nothing else but the chaos we are suffering now. Lunacy is the order of the day.

    Life right now is like a brush fire being swept by 60 MPH winds. There is no stopping it. No controlling it. Let it burn and eventually it will burn itself out.

    Minus the “Guns of War” the Democratic Party has been displaced by extreme radicle socialists who are worse than the Bolsheviks of early Russia, and one brick shy of the methodologies of the Islamic Fundamentalist.

    We are in some uncharted waters for this Republic, and the only out is to vote and vote correctly no matter your past voting history. It’s a new game and the old rules of engagement do not pertain here.
